WE’RE S E 76 PAGY! TODA

Under the watchful eye of her father Pinder, a UBC research engineer, Woodward Hill Elementary student Jenna Dosanjh prepares a soil plug to receive tomato seeds, some of which have spent time on the International Space Station. It’s part of an experiment to see if space time affects growth.

Over the course of the next two weeks, students at Woodward Hill Elementary school will track the germination of tomato seeds that were taken to space by Canadian astronaut Julie Payette and returned to earth later in the fall of 2009. Results of the experiment will be sent to the Tomatosphere Project, a huge project that involves more than 11,300 classrooms in Canada and the U.S.

Staff Reporter

Students at Woodward Hill Elementary school are conducting a science experiment that’s out of this world. Led by Pinder Dosanjh, a research engineer in the department of physics and astronomy at UBC, the Grade 4 class is growing tomato seeds that were aboard the International Space Station. The students are part of the Tomatosphere Project, a huge project that involves more than 11,300 classrooms in Canada and the

United States. The tomatoes seeds were taken to space by Canadian astronaut Julie Payette and returned to earth later in the fall of 2009. The working title of the Tomatosphere Project is: “Did the seeds survive.” Sponsored by the Canada Space Agency and others, the goal of the experiments is to investigate the effects of the space environment on the growth of food, information that will one day be used to support a long-tern human mission, establishing a base on the moon and eventually manned flights to Mars.

Dosanjh took a few questions from the students before preparing the growing medium for the seeds, known as Heinz H9478. One boy, displaying a healthy scientific skepticism, wondered whether the seeds were really in space. “These ones were really were in space,” Dosanjh reassured the students. Guided by Dosanjh, each of the students in Elaine Vaughan’s Grade 4 class took a turn poking a hole into a water-puffed peat pellet with a pencil and gingerly dropping a tomato seed into it.

❚ NEWS ❚CRIME/Cops like new rules but some fear they put too much power in hands of police

Tougher drunk driving laws in B.C. may mean more law-breaking: critics

Police are Tom ZYTARUK lauding the Staff Reporter province’s tough new drunk driving legislation but critics are concerned the regulations may actually result in increased criminality. Rob Holmes, president of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association, is concerned that drivers who are facing huge fines that they are unable to pay will be forced to drive illegally to get to work, “and then they’re committing more crime.” The new rules, revealed this week by B.C. Solicitor General Michael de Jong, amend the Motor Vehicles Act to create Canada’s “most immediate and severe” penalties for impaired driving. The changes were inspired by the case of Alexa Middlaer, a four-year-old girl who was killed by an alleged drunk driver in

Delta two years ago. They are expected to come into effect this fall. Under the new rules, drivers who blow over .08 or refuse to provide a breath sample at the roadside will immediately be banned from driving for 90 days, hit with a $500 fine, and their vehicle will be impounded for 90 days. They could also face criminal charges. Drivers who blow once within a “warn” range between .05 and .08, within five years, will immediately be banned from driving for three days and be fined $200. The second instance will earn them a seven-day ban and $300, and a third, a 30-day ban and $400 fine. Moreover, drivers who blow once in the “fail” range or three times in the “warn” range in a three-year period will have to participate in a rehabilitative

BRUCE RALSTON/ “I think this is legislation the public wants.” Responsible Driver program. Here’s where it gets costly. In these cases, the driver will be hit with a $500 “administrative penalty,” be banned for driving for 90 days, will have to pay a $250 driver’s licence reinstatement fee, and will be billed about $700 for towing expenses and 30-day vehicle impoundment. Also, they will pay $880 for the rehabilitative program, and pay $1,420 for the ignition interlock device, which they must use for one year. The device tests the driver’s breath for alcohol every time they drive. All told, one fail on a roadside screening device will cost the

driver roughly $3,750, and they may still face an impaired driving charge on top of that. The government says drivers will be able to contest their roadside prohibition by paying $100 for a written review or $200 for an oral review by the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles. As it stands now, it takes police about four days to gather evidence, prepare courts and appear in court to support an impaired driving charge. Const. Peter Neily said the Surrey RCMP is “very supportive” of the new rules. “It’s great legislation – any thing is a new tool.” However, some critics are concerned the new rules put too much power in the hands of front-line police officers and the roadside devices they rely on, while diminishing due process.

❚MAYOR’S ACCIDENT

B.C.’s new rules for motorcycles are due to the growing number of deaths on bikes.

Watts ‘not being secretive’ on crash  continued from page 1 “The colour of the light does not change the dynamics of who hit who. It doesn’t work that way. I still can’t get into the specifics of the investigation, but early information indicates the SUV was proceeding on the green,” Neily said Thursday. Neily said the investigation is ongoing and no new information was available as the Now went to press. Redekopp said he’s not out to get the mayor. “I like the mayor. It’s just that there’s all this stuff being put out there about how my wife T-boned them and it’s not true. I’m trying to talk to the police and they’re not calling me back. Meanwhile, my wife’s in Vancouver General going through operation after operation.” Redekopp said he’s frustrated by the lack of information coming from both the RCMP and the mayor about what happened that night. Tara Foslien handles communications for Watts. “The reason the mayor’s not doing any media calls right now is that the doctors have her on morphine for the pain and she’s not feeling up to it. She’s not

being secretive or anything.” Police say Watts was driving her white Cadillac SUV east on 24th Avenue with husband, Brian, in the passenger seat, when it collided with a dark-coloured sedan heading north on 128th Avenue around 11 p.m. Watts suffered a cracked rib and both she and Brian sustained soft tissue injuries. Shawnene Redekopp is in Vancouver General Hospital recovering from her injuries. Doctors removed her spleen and are treating her for a swollen pancreas, broken ribs, a broken collarbone and fluid buildup in her lungs. At one point, Redekopp said, surgeons thought they would have to remove Shawnene’s pancreas, but exploratory surgery revealed it could likely be saved. Now, he said, they’re just keeping an eye on the organ and waiting for all the swelling to subside. “At one point, she said to me, ‘I’m going to die,’ because of the pancreas. I said, ‘You’re not going to die.’ You worry. I don’t care about the vehicle, you can always get another car, but the people...you worry.” Watts is recovering at home. tcolley@thenownewspaper.com

Bruce Ralston, the NDP MLA for Surrey-Whalley, is a non-practicing criminal defence lawyer who has defended many clients charged with impaired driving. “I think this is legislation the public wants,” he said. “If there are concerns, I think there will be challenges in court.”

New rules for motorcycles in effect There are new Tom rules for motorcycZYTARUK Staff Reporter lists and their passengers. This week the provincial government changed the Motor Vehicle Act to require that both motorcyclists and their riders wear helmets that meet certified safety standards. Moreover, drivers will now be responsible for ensuring that passengers under age 16 are wearing an approved helmet. Police can now confiscate unsanctioned gear, such as skullcaps. New riders will be restricted to less powerful motorcycles, and passengers must be able to rest their feet on foot pegs or floorboards. According to the Office of the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles, new motorcyclists ages 16 to 25 have a fatality rate 13 times higher than older riders. The new rules are in response to a growing number of motor-

cyclists in B.C. Between 1999 and 2008, the number grew from roughly 41,000 to 80,000. Also during those same years the number of annual deaths rose to 49 from 27. In other motorcycle-related news, police arrested an alleged motorcycle thief with a 50-year driving prohibition after a wild chase through Langley, Surrey and into Pitt Meadows on Tuesday. The 32-year-old man, whose name has not yet been released, was driving a stolen 2006 Kawasaki motorcycle erratically, blowing through red lights and stop signs at excessive speeds. Police say the accused has never possessed a B.C. driver’s licence and has seven criminal convictions for dangerous driving and six for driving while suspended. In December 2005, he was slapped with a 50-year driving prohibition.

Seeds ready to ‘pop up’  continued from page 1 “They’ll start to pop up in about a week,” Dosanjh said. The students planted two sets of seeds, about 30 seeds in each set. The second set is the control group of seeds. “We don’t know which one is which,” he said. Over the course of the next two weeks, the students will track the germination of the seeds, keeping meticulous records. The results of the experiment will be sent to Tomatosphere, and the students will receive a certificate signed by astronaut Robert Thirsk and the principal investigator for the project, Dr. Mike Dixon, with the University of Guelph. The students were pretty pleased to be talking part in something so special. “It’s exciting,” said nineyear-old Emma Misak. Nick Blaga, 10, was skeptical about whether the space tomatoes will sprout. Even so, he conceded the experiment was pretty cool. “I feel like it’s a great experiment, really cool, once in a lifetime chance.”

❚POLITICS/Province puts new tax to final vote

Liberals will ‘pay price’ on HST The governing Liberals will “pay a price” for foisting the controversial Harmonized Sales Tax on B.C. residents, a Surrey NDP MLA predicts. Bruce Ralston, MLA for SurreyWhalley, said there’s a “lot of talk” about launching a recall campaign as Liberal MLAs were preparing to use their majority in an effort to end debate on the tax during a final vote in the legislative assembly in Victoria at 5 p.m. Thursday.

“They will have to pay a price sometime in the future,” Ralston said, noting that many people are “strongly opposed to it” and angry the government “lied.” “It’s not getting better for the government. If anything, it’s getting worse.” Meantime, Elections BC has blocked the government from launching a pamphlet campaign in support of the tax. “I think it’s the right decision,” Ralston said. – Tom Zytaruk

❚ NEWS ❚CRIME/Charges laid in $500K jewelry store heist in Newton

Two of three robbery suspects nabbed Police have Tom ZYTARUK charged two men Staff Reporter in connection with a $500,000 jewelry store robbery in Newton but are still hunting for a third suspect. Three men hit the store, at 83rd Avenue and 128th Street, on June 5. After browsing over some display cases, one of the robbers pulled out a gun and ordered staff to lie on the floor. The two other robbers then jumped over a counter and one of them covered an employee’s mouth. When she failed to meet their demands, she was beaten.

“The staff in the store were threatened and absolutely traumatized by this event,” Surrey RCMP Const. Peter Neily said. The three robbers eventually ran off with their swag. Last December, the police arrested and charged Michael Kandola, 22, for the robbery. Kandola has made recent headlines for assaulting a homosexual man in Vancouver last September. He is being sentenced today (Friday) for that crime. Last Friday a second man, Satpaul Heer, 25, was arrested in connection with the jewelry store robbery. At press time police were still looking for a third suspect: a Fijian man in

his early 20s. Surveillance video footage from the store show him wearing a blue T-shirt. He had short black hair and was thin. “The Surrey RCMP feel that someone knows the identity of the suspect with a gun,” Neily said. “The staff at this store did not deserve what they had to endure at the hands of this trio.” Neily urges anyone with information to contact police. “This individual does not deserve your loyalty and we need you to come forward and help us to ensure no one else is victimized by this robber.” tzytaruk@thenownewspaper.com

Missing since Saturday The Surrey RCMP is looking for a local man who has been missing since Saturday night. Hardeep Singh Sandhu, 32, was last seen at 7 p.m. April 24, in the area of 133rd Street and 78th Avenue. His friends say his disappearance is out of character. Sandhu is South Asian, five feet nine inches tall, and 170 pounds. He was wearing a grey HARDEEP SINGH SANDHU Hugo Boss track suit, Hugo Boss satchel and black Nike shox running shoes. He drives a black 2009 Honda Accord, licence plate number 085XBJ. Police ask anyone with information to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502. – Tom Zytaruk

❚ NEWS ❚SUNDAY/‘Jane’s Ride’ event will give people a better understanding of the area

Rallying and rolling for Bridgeview

Remember Tom ZILLICH Strathcona. Staff Reporter It’s a rallying cry for a group of people adamant that “no trucking freeway” is bulldozed through the Bridgeview area of Surrey. In the early 1970s, the neighbourhood of Strathcona in Vancouver was threatened by construction of a highway through its heart, but political pressure stopped it. Bernadette Keenan thinks history can be repeated in Bridgeview, through which the controversial South Fraser Perimeter Road (SFPR) is designed to snake. She researched the political fight in Strathcona and learned that at the time, the community invited people into the area to experience it and get beyond preconceived notions. To that end, Keenan has joined a network of Jane’s Walk events this weekend. The events invite people to explore a particular area or neighbourhood in salute to activist Jane Jacobs, a Toronto woman who championed community-based approaches to planning for more than 40 years. “My understanding is that (Jacobs) recommended walking or biking through a neighbourhood to truly

engage with it, and that approach really resonates with me,” Keenan said. The event in Bridgeview, one of two happening in Surrey this weekend, is actually a bike ride. “When I started considering my route and available time, I realized that walking might be too slow and the distances involved too long for just a walk,” Keenan told the Now. A few dozen people are expected to participate in the free guided bike tour, which starts at Scott Road SkyTrain station at 10:15 a.m. Sunday and rolls through many parts of the historic area. Riders must preregister for the event through the Think City host organization, online at thinkcity.ca. The website says this about Bridgeview: “(It) is a resourceful, resilient, primarily residential community that has resisted past government attempts to industrialize it out of existence, and today faces new threats.” Beaches, a beloved fishing dock and a tour-ending visit to the flea market at the local hall are on the tour itinerary. Keenan, an 18-year resident of the area and three-time candidate for all three levels of government, can’t stand to see Bridgeview “getting paved over for a freeway.”

The goal of Jane’s Walk events is to “raise urban literacy and build strong, connected communities,” according to a post at thinkcity.ca. In 2009, nearly 750 people took part in 27 walks, most of them in Toronto and Vancouver. In South Surrey, another Jane’s Walk event is also planned for Sunday afternoon in the Crescent Beach area. It’s hosted by Steve Chitty, a 40-year resident of the area who helped develop Camp Alexandra into a neighbourhood house. Said Keenan: “I think it is really exciting that Surrey is getting involved with this worldwide celebration of Jane Jacobs’ legacy, and (I) hope (the) weather co-operates.… I was trying to encourage a few people out in Delta and over at Surrey Bend to organize walks as well (but) the timing didn’t work out.” In 1968, the Pennsylvania-born Jacobs moved with her family to Toronto and continued to be a critic of top-down city planning. Part of her legacy is leading Stop Spadina, a campaign to kill plans to construct a major highway through some of Toronto’s liveliest neighbourhoods. Jacobs lived in the city until her death in 2006. tzillich@thenownewspaper.com

Surrey women up for big award

❚BUSINESS NOTEBOOK

Cactus Club raises cash for tents in Haiti

Cactus Club South Point is serving up tents for Haitians who were left homeless after the January earthquake. The Surrey restaurant raised $5,413, which will be used to buy waterproof tents for people in Haiti who still have no shelter. On April 8, 15 per cent of all sales were donated to A Home in Haiti. Guests were also asked to contribute an extra $1 or $5 to their final bill to support the cause. The companywide relief effort was made more personal for the Surrey group by server Sarah Jantzen, who travelled to Haiti for two weeks in February to help in the earthquake aftermath. “In two weeks, I met the most amazing Haitian people, who had nothing, but would give everything,” said Jantzen in a press release. Cactus Club ran a company-wide fundraiser from Feb. 1 to 12 that raised a total of $10,000 for Haiti through the Red Cross, an amount matched by the federal government. “This is a great example of how our employees and guests have come together to demonstrate their support and provide assistance to those in need,” said Jim Taylor, general manager for Cactus Club South Point. “We’re in a small community but we’re proud to show we can make a difference.”

New White Spot on Highway 10 opens doors early for a good cause A brand new White Spot outlet has made an impact before its official opening.

The restaurant, at 152nd Street and Highway 10 in Surrey, opened its doors for three nights prior for staff and kitchen training. Local residents were invited to visit the restaurant and eat for free, but were asked to make a donation to Variety – The Children’s Charity. Over the three evenings, $6,000 was raised for the group. The franchise was bought by Bill Senghera, a business consultant with White Spot, and a family group of six couples.

First ‘Tour of Industry’ showcases Surrey to up-and-coming businesses Two Kwantlen Polytechnic University students from Surrey will be hosting the city’s first official “Tour of Industry” today (Friday). The event, in conjunction with the Surrey Board of Trade, is meant to showcase the city as the place to be for up and coming businesses. Kassandra Linklater and Denny Hollick will play host to about 70 community, government and business leaders as they visit three Surrey companies during the half-day tour. The pair learned of the idea from former ambassador John Treleaven while working on economic trade missions abroad. Both represented B.C. on Global Vision’s Junior Team Canada’s 2009 international economic trade mission to Panama and Educador. “Having represented our region abroad, we quickly became aware just how uniquely pos-

itioned Surrey is to be a major player not only in the region but in the global market place,” said Linklater. “We wanted to use the opportunity to come back and make a difference in our community.” The group will be visiting Fraser Surrey Docks LP, the largest facility of its kind on the North American west coast; NAV Canada, a recently privatized company that controls the majority of air traffic in B.C.; and Russell Brewing, now the official supplier of beer to B.C.

❚EDUCATION/Budget approved

Job cuts coming in Delta but no schools will close

OPEN HOUSE

PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING: GRANDVIEW HEIGHTS AREA #4 NEIGHBOURHOOD CONCEPT PLAN

The Delta school Sandor GYARMATI board Tuesday unaniNow Contributor mously approved an operating budget for next year that contains some deep staffing cuts but no school closures. “We’re projected to lose 127 students out of the district and I think people need to understand that because of the funding formula, that represents somewhere in the range of a million dollars,” said trustee Simon Truelove. “So this is something not lost on trustees during the course of the year and anything we can do to lose fewer students or bring more students in has an enormous effect on our budget.” To make up a $4 million shortfall for 2010/11, the board agreed to make $3.1 million in cuts and dip into reserves for the rest to balance the books. Almost 17 teachers, 16 support staff and an administrative position will be eliminated. There will also be a reduction in school supplies, including textbooks, as well as special needs assistance and learning resources. At Tuesday’s board meeting, acting superintendent Garnet Ayres told trustees the pupil-teacher ratio in elementary and high school will go up, but the district will remain within Ministry of Education limits. Trustee Fabian Milat brought up concerns, raised the previous week by CUPE

The public is invited to attend a Public Open House/ Information Meeting to begin the process of preparing a Neighbourhood Concept Plan (NCP) for Grandview Heights Area #4. Please see the map below. This Public Open House/ Information Meeting will be held: Date:

Wednesday, May 12, 2010

Time:

5:30 p.m. - 8:30 p.m. Presentation at 6:30 p.m.

Place:

East Kensington Elementary School (Gymnasium) 2795 – 184 Street

The purpose of the Public Open House/Information Meeting is to introduce the City’s planning team, provide background, describe the planning process, and establish a Citizen’s Advisory Committee (CAC) to work with the City’s planning team in developing the NCP. Further information may be obtained by visiting our website at www.planning.surrey.ca and clicking “Plans and policies under development”, “Secondary Plans”, and then “Grandview Heights NCP Area 4”; by calling the Planning & Development Department at 604-591-4307; by visiting the Planning Department at Surrey City Hall; or by e-mailing gh4plan@surrey.ca.

Local 1091 president Colin Pawson, that the district’s office and administration will only lose 3.46 full-time equivalents compared to other staffing cuts. He also pointed out a portion of the office cuts are also CUPE positions, so administration is, in fact, even less affected. “I have concerns that in future years we have to actually look at reducing administration costs. I recognize that there are pressures from the Ministry of Education that say you have to implement certain programs that are new and they’ll provide funding for that,” he said. “But at the same time, this district has had declining enrolment for a number of years, so we also have to look at decreasing our administration costs significantly if the funding formula doesn’t change,” added Milat. Trustee Laura Dixon, though, said Delta’s administration costs are low compared to other districts, while at the same time it’s challenged servicing a widely spread out school district. She said Delta is “already running lean.” Pawson told the board he doesn’t agree that so many management positions remain intact. “The maintenance department in the last two years was cut by 50 per cent, but not administration. Custodial was cut 15 per cent, but there’s still three custodial supervisors,” he said.

A bunch of red roses to Norma Reynolds of the Salvation Army church for generously repairing two crocheted blankets for my bosses. These blankets were given to them a number of years ago by a friend and had fallen apart and were in need of desperate repair. I approached Norma at a local flea market and she very kindly agreed to see if she could fix them. She refused any payment after she had completed the repairs. It’s people like her who keep our faith in mankind in check. Many thanks. Rotten tomatoes to the City of Surrey’s house inspection department for allowing

new homes to blacktop their front and backyards. Then, the boulevards are also blacktopped. The boulevard property is municipality property. How can people blacktop something that does not belong to them and face no consequences? A dump truck of very, very rotten tomatoes for you scumbags who continue to dump your junk (mattresses, computers, clothes, etc.) along the South Fraser Way Road in Surrey. I would like to see you up against a wall and have my three ballplayer grandchildren throw all those rotten tomatoes in your faces.

Shame, shame, shame on all of you! I have been driving past a certain spot for more than two years now and it is always the same. I am sickened to think who would do this day in and day out – can you read? No dumping! A City of Surrey garbage truckload of rotten tomatoes to the low-life residents who illegally dump their old mattresses, sofas and old TVs strewn all over the neighbourhood. It’s no wonder Surrey has a bad reputation: it looks like a dumping ground – any street you drive up there is always something. A big huge bouquet of roses to the team of workers who on a daily basis are out there picking up after these slobs.

❚COLUMN

When ‘doing great’ doesn’t feel right clenched fists, wondering how fast he could roll away from them, perched as he was on that stool of his. He was nice – a little too nice, I thought, and immediately became suspicious. He’s so nice because it’s going to hurt like heck; this thought became a mantra in my over-imaginative mind. Him telling me I was doing great made me wonder if I was not doing well in handling the stress of being there. Plus, who was he comparing me to when he said I was doing great? Was it the last person who lost it in that comfy chair? I wish I could have asked him his standard of “doing great” and my position on that scale.

“He had the upper hand, which was holding a dental tool that had pointy ends to it – and he was using it to scrap at my molar.” So instead, I just laid there, trying to visualize myself in another place altogether to distract myself from the sounds coming from my mouth and the mantra swirling around in my head. As soon I was able to block out the fact I was where I was, this very nice dentist would ask if I was OK. I would nod. Well, I couldn’t say otherwise now could I? I mean, he had the upper hand, which was holding a dental tool that had pointy ends to it – and he was using it to scrape at my molar.

Approval is easier than you think.

SEWER MAINTENANCE Metro Vancouver will be performing maintenance work on a section of sewer pipe that runs through Delta’s Watershed Park. This work will include using a magnesium-based spray for corrosion control. Park users and local residents may notice an odour, which is normal for this maintenance work.

Here is another puzzle that I’m sure many people have wondered about: why do dentists talk to their patients during the procedure? The dentist knows the patient is incapable of having a conversation, so why try? Is this an attempt to normalize the situation? Like, “let’s pretend we are hanging out and I (dentist) just happen to be working on your teeth, but we haven’t seen each other for ages, so let’s catch up!” I mean, it’s not a social call and being talkative is not distracting enough for the patient to forget where he or she is. It’s a nice attempt, but let’s face it – the patient isn’t in the mood. The constant “you are doing great” didn’t feel great to me. Maybe others would feel differently, but all I could think of was how a nice martini right now would make me feel great – let’s start serving those up to have really happy patients. Of course, that isn’t happening – ever – so I did the next best thing, I just laid back and pretended I was on a lounge chair on a beach somewhere in the Caribbean, sipping that martini and watching blue sky meet the blue ocean in the horizon. (The dentist’s office had a great view of the sky and for a few short minutes, it was blue and not gray with rain. Sigh!) In the end, it wasn’t too bad; this nice dentist did a great job on keeping the pain and discomfort minimal. Thank you!

Mention the phrase, “I have a dental appointment,” and suddenly the speaker becomes the recipient of sympathetic sentiments. Harvinder These words SANDHU invoke fear in many people. I know people who would rather suffer the pain from a toothache then visit the dentist. This type of fear is alien to me. I mean, I am a tad fearful but it doesn’t stop me from seeing the dentist. So when I needed work done, I calmly booked an appointment. It wasn’t until I felt the needle poking in the side of my jaw that I realized I was terrified. You see, a few years ago, I suffered excruciating pain for days in the general area of where the needle went in at my last dental work. This area was so painful I had to get a prescription from the dentist (a different one) to handle the pain and I actually stopped seeing the dentist – in fact, any dentist – for the next few years. So, the other day, when I was laying on a comfortable recliner, fearless of the procedure about to happen, it was the poking needle into that once affected area that triggered a fear deep inside me. I was afraid of the same happening again. I tensed up and lied when the dentist inquired if I was OK. He didn’t miss a beat; in fact, he thanked me for not hitting him and complimented me for “doing great.” I’m sure he was watching my

Witnesses wanted after fatal crash on Nordel Way

Delta firefighters finish up at the scene of a huge fire that caused millions of dollars worth of damage at Tilbury Industrial Park in North Delta on Tuesday morning.

Delta police want to speak with witnesses to a fatal crash that killed a delivery driver on Nordel Way on Monday. The collision happened at about 2 p.m. near Shepherd Way and involved four vehicles. Police said it appears that the driver of a Freightliner semi-trailer heading west on Nordel Way didn’t notice an SUV that was stopped and waiting to make a left turn. “The driver of the tractor may have engaged in hard braking and appears to have lost control of the truck,” said Const. Sharlene Brooks, of the Delta police. The semi crossed into the eastbound lanes of Nordel Way, hitting a one-ton Frito Lay delivery truck head-on. “As a result of this initial collision two additional vehicles were subsequently struck and sustained damage,” Brooks said. The delivery truck driver died at the scene. Witnesses can call police at 604-946-4411. – Tom Zytaruk

Industrial park blaze causes millions in damage Damage is estimated in the millions of dollars after a fire ripped through a building in the Tilbury Industrial Park early Tuesday morning. Delta fire and police departments responded to the blaze in the 7900-block of Huston Road just before 1 a.m.

The fire started in one business but quickly took off and spread to the entire complex. In all, about five businesses were affected. Deputy fire chief Ken Sim said around 20 to 25 per cent of the building was lost to the fire. “Some businesses were protected and saved,” he said. “There is

water damage to other businesses. All-in-all, a good job by Delta fire (department).” Sim said about 40 firefighters and six trucks were on scene to battle the blaze he described as “very, very difficult to put out” due to the nature of the business where the fire started – a cloth-

ing company. Crews were still on scene later in the morning and smoke could still be seen coming from the building. Fire and police investigators continue to examine the scene. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. – Jessica Kerr

n 1986, Expo ’86 celebrated 100 years of Vancouver as a city. Fifteen years earlier, British Columbia marked 100 years as a province. Before that, Canada spent all of 1967 marking the nation’s centenary. Exciting and fun times but in truth, kind of short-sighted. How about a real milestone to celebrate? If it wasn’t for a niggling detail like the absence of calendars at the start, the residents of North Delta could be marking more that 8,000 years of continual human activity on the southern banks of the Fraser River.

change in the human society. The later evidence shows a society that was centred around harvesting salmon and other aquatic life at different times of the year. When Europeans arrived in the 1800s, the salmon harvesting continued on an industrial scale. The historic St. Mungo and Glenrose canneries were erected on the site and operated there for almost a century. In the 1970s, archaeologists undertook the first detailed study of the Glenrose cannery area and determined it was one of the oldest locations occupied by humans in the Lower Mainland. A decade later, the St. Mungo cannery was torn down to make way for the Alex Fraser Bridge and a hurried archaeological dig was undertaken to excavate as much as possible before the concrete began to pour. The discoveries at that time were determined to be so important that the location of the bridge supports were moved to protect the archaeological site.

Lesbian teacher exposes more church hypocrisy M

usic teacher Lisa Reimer was in the news Thursday after she accused Vancouver’s Little Flower Academy, a private Catholic school, of firing her because she is a lesbian. According to Reimer, she Ted was about to return to work COLLEY after taking three weeks leave to be with her partner, who gave birth to their child, when the school told her to stay away and mark papers from home until her one-year temporary contract expires in June. Reimer claims school administrators told her the move was provoked by complaints from parents who objected to having their children taught by a homosexual. Guess they worried their kids might catch gay from being around Reimer. In any case, Reimer said she never discussed her sexual orientation with her students or her fellow teachers although school administrators were aware of it. She also said she adhered to the terms of her contract with the school as a non-Catholic teacher, which forbade criticism of the Catholic faith or introducing non-Catholic values to her students. The school denies firing Reimer, but Little

Flower’s board chair promised to look into Reimer’s allegation that she was told to avoid direct contact with her students. Education Minister Margaret MacDiarmid has also asked ministry staff to investigate. Once again, the Catholic church demonstrates its truly astounding capacity for hypocrisy. Here we have an institution that has for decades protected pedophile priests, all the while preaching morality to millions around the world. The most infamous Canadian example is the sexual abuse suffered by children at Newfoundland’s Mt. Cashel orphanage. (A note here: in an earlier column attacking the church’s hypocritical attitudes, I said priests were responsible for the Mt. Cashel predations. A local defender of the church was kind enough to correct me in my ignorance by informing me that it was lay brothers who preyed on the kiddies there, not priests. Good to know.) The church paid $85 million to other victims in Boston and cases have been proved or admitted to in many more countries, including Britain, France, Australia, Mexico and the Philippines. Time and again, church officials transferred offending priests to new parishes – without reporting them to the secular authority – after

accusations of sexual abuse were lodged against them. Back in 2003, Archbishop of Vancouver Adam Exner ordered four Catholic schools to opt out of VanCity Credit Union’s junior banking program because of its pro-gay sponsorships and an advertising campaign designed to attract business from the region’s gay residents. Exner accused VanCity of promoting “agendas which are worrisome and harmful to the church and society.” Now, if Ms. Reimer is to be believed, we have another example of the church, through one of its private schools, trying to present itself as a morally superior body in a position to condemn others. Wow. And just for the record, I don’t have a beef with the Roman church in particular. Others have much to answer for as well, but the Catholic church seems particularly adept at maintaining a “do as I say, not as I do” attitude without so much as blushing. Wasn’t it Jesus who said something along the lines of, “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone?” Ted Colley is a reporter/photographer with the Now newspaper.

Swap parties, get same results

Website should credit Burns Bog society for its invaluable work

PainfulTruth

Polls this week show that there are plenty of folks in B.C. hankering for a new political party. The Angus Reid Matthew survey showed a significant number CLAXTON would jump ship to either a centre-right or centre-left alternative, if one could be scraped together. It might happen. The B.C. Liberals, after all, were a centreright alternative, and in Alberta the third-party Wildrose Alliance is gouging support away from the dominant Tories. And of course, the NDP and its predecessor the CCF have been third parties federally for almost a century, and have won power in several provinces. The Progressive Party split so many votes the Conservatives absorbed it, and then the third party Reform/Alliance Party in turn ate the Progressive Conservatives and emerged as simply Conservative once again. Demands for a new party, a third alternative, always emerge when a governing party is growing stale, slowly compressing under the weight of many years in office. Why? Why can’t a single party stay in government for more than a decade without attracting so much animosity that folks are willing to start a new party? Partly it’s simple corruption. Every third party or reforming movement comes in promising to sweep out the old, corrupt administration. These reformers are immediately joined by a host of opportunistic grifters, essentially the same as the grifters who siphoned money out of the previous government. You can’t keep crooks out of politics. You can kick them out when you find them, but you can’t avoid them. Keeping criminals away from public office is like keeping bank robbers out of banks: you’d have to weld the doors shut and exclude everyone. The reason is simple. As a great robber once said when asked why he did what he did: “That’s where

the money is.” And there’s a lot more cash in the government than there is in banks. New parties are also popular because they haven’t compromised or lied. Yet. Any party, once in government, will do two things: first, it will attempt to reward the people who put it there, from religious groups to business owners to unions. Second, it will offend those people. The Liberals have so angered some of their constituents in Delta over power lines that those folks went and elected themselves an independent MLA! There are dams and perimeter roads and education funding gaps aplenty to throw at the current government. It’s the same at every level of government. Getting into power requires friends. Staying there requires stepping on them. After five, or 10, or maybe 15 years in office, governments get called to the polls, look for their friends, and see a lot of people with shoe-prints on their faces. Some of those folks go and form the Stepped On Party, and kick out the old guard. Alternatively, any old established party gets a new glow after being out of power for long enough. Keep working on it, NDP, just another decade or so! Ironically, in most cases a new party just helps keep its opposite number in power. Splitting the vote between the Tories and the Reform Party made the federal Liberals strong in the 1990s. In B.C., the NDP came up the middle between the dying Socreds and the rising Liberals, and held on for two terms. Strangely, this urge to create new parties doesn’t seem to apply south of the 49th parallel. Maybe we should tell the Americans about it. They might thank us. Or they could wind up with an arrogant, stale governing party, and blame us. Better to keep it to ourselves. Matthew Claxton is a reporter for the Langley Advance.

The Editor, An open letter to Delta Mayor Lois Jackson: I have had the chance to see your website www.burnsbog.ca. What I don’t understand is why the Burns Bog Conservation Society is not mentioned anywhere on the site. The bog would have been developed if it wasn’t for a group of concerned citizens that stopped it and fought for the governments to purchase it. This group of people became the Burns Bog Conservation Society. It is also the society that built the boardwalk that goes through the Delta Nature Reserve and maintains it (along with other things in the park) without any funding from the Corporation of Delta. The funding comes from outside grants and donations. When I saw this website, it seemed that the Corporation of Delta made it all possible. In your chronology of events, there is not even a mention of the group of concerned citizens that fought for it prior to 1988, nor the mention that it was the Burns Bog Conservation Society that invited Dr. David Bellamy in 1995 to come to the bog. I work for the society. And until I started working with them, I didn’t realize how much work volunteers have done for Burns Bog. Not only countless hours of their time, but moneywise too, so everyone can continue to enjoy the bog and see why the bog is so valuable to us. Burns Bog Conservation Society continuously is educating members of the government and the public on the importance of the bog through tours and presentations. But there is no mention of this on your website. You must credit the society on this website, or you will continue to mislead people to believe that you alone have done such wonderful things for the “Lungs of the Lower Mainland.”

The Editor, We live close to a secondary school. Every school day, young men and young women frequent various fast food outlets. How do I know this, you ask? Their empty boxes of fries, pizza plates, drink boxes, soda cans, etc. litter our street, despite the fact there is a trash can at the end of our street, on the school grounds, adjacent to the park. Furthermore, we have also been subject to garbage dumping at the end of the street, which used to be a vacant lot but now has condos built on part of it. These dumpers continue to dump anything they want and mostly at night. Please refer to your 2010 Waste Collection Program Calender which advises everyone what they can recycle and what is not acceptable. They do, however, advise you of various outlets that will accept old TVs, computers, etc. These dumpers do have cars/trucks, so they can transport such items to these outlets instead of dumping in someone else’s area. If it doesn’t stop, Surrey will be the garbage capital of British Columbia.

Chamber pushes plan for crash-caused congestion

The Delta Dave Chamber of WILLIS Now Contributor Commerce wants to see a better plan in place to deal with traffic congestion caused by accidents. A “highway incident management” resolution, which originated with the local chamber, will be voted on at the B.C. Chamber

of Commerce annual general meeting next month. If it passes, it will be presented to the provincial government. It calls for “an incident management system under the coordinated direction of a single agency.” The local business group has a great deal of support on the

initiative from other chambers, not only in the Lower Mainland, but the Interior as well, said Delta Chamber of Commerce chair John Appleby. “It’s merely a question of making sure there’s a priority to reopening roads after incidents. We’d very much like to see that enacted,” he said.

If a major roadway, bridge or tunnel is affected by an accident, traffic “cascades to alternate routes with insufficient capacity to deal with the demand during what is often an inordinate amount of time to clear the incident,” the resolution states. The delays contribute to significant losses to trade and com-

merce in the Lower Mainland, it adds. The resolution suggests the use of advances in technology like air photographs and computerized measuring techniques in investigating an incident and making sure the suitable equipment is immediately available to clear scenes of traffic incidents.

The Delta school district won’t start a hockey academy at English Bluff Elementary this fall, but that doesn’t mean another school won’t have the chance for one. After meeting with parents last week, acting superintendent Garnet Ayres issued a letter to English Bluff parents Tuesday advising them the idea won’t be pursued for the Tsawwassen school. He wrote it was not the intention of the district to have the school or community divided on the matter. The district would be happy to again engage parents in conversation if they brought forward another program idea, he wrote. His letter also stated the district will “continue exploring the opportunity with alternate communities of interest.” The school district has introduced several specialty academies in recent years to boost enrolment, starting with a hockey one at South Delta Secondary. That academy has a close association with the Vancouver Giants junior hockey team, which provides coaching personnel, including head coach Don Hay, who appears for some on-ice academy sessions, and Giants’ strength and conditioning coach Ian Gallagher, who’s also employed by the school district as the academy’s director of player development. Delta doesn’t have any fee-paying academies at the elementary level. At the Delta school board’s meeting Tuesday, Saip said the district was only at the exploration stage with parents. – Sandor Gyarmati

‘Freedoma-nation’ show gives voice to Surrey teens Tom ZILLICH

Staff Reporter

Time flies when you’re pouring your heart out. Twice weekly three-hour sessions don’t seem like enough for teens involved in a program designed to empower them through the arts. For the past four months, they’ve been singing, dancing, acting, talking and making new friends through the Making Bridges out of Walls program, run out of a darkly-lit warehouse space in Newton. It’s home for Surrey Urban Youth Project (SUYP), whose staff work with youth (age 14 and up) to rehearse and otherwise prepare for a big night of performances at Surrey Arts Centre. The third annual show, dubbed Freedom-a-Nation: Different People, One Heart, One Beat, happens Thursday, May 6 in the studio theatre there. Five of the 28 teens involved in the current session were willing to talk to the Now about their performances and why they got involved. The girls are tackling some painful topics, including racism and poverty, in a series of spoken-word pieces. Ruthdol Ywaya, 16, wrote about the time she was at a bus stop and an elderly woman told her she “looked good with shoe polish” on her face. “Things like that have been going on for a long time,” said the Kenyan-born Ruthdol, who moved to Canada three years ago, “and it’s not really what people should be doing. You realize that racism can’t be abolished once and for all, so you have to, like, use racism to make you stronger. That’s what my piece is about.” For her performance, she plans to incorporate special lighting and “loop” melodies and harmonies to create a musical soundtrack.

Krystal Bell, 16, recently moved into her own home in Whalley and is thrilled to have found “a safe place” at the SUYP space in Newton. “I faced a lot of poverty my whole life, and so that’s what I’m going to be talking about (in her monologue), the Kwantlen Park Secondary student told the Now. “I wasn’t accepted at school because I lived in poverty.… Home and school are supposed to be safe places, especially for a nine-year-old, and they weren’t for me. I want to talk about that, and the struggle to find a safe place for yourself, but how much it’s worth it once you do.” Every night before dinner, everyone sings a catchy little song that goes like this: “I want to be more thankful, deep down in my heart.” The melody sticks in the brain as Krystal and the others chow down on the night’s offering of minestrone soup, cheese sandwiches and, for dessert, whipped cream-topped strawberries. “The home-cooked meals are the best,” Krystal said with enthusiasm.

‘I believe in raw honesty’

She says she’s always been big into performing, especially with her words. Her dream involves becoming a university English professor. “I believe in raw honesty, and I believe I was blessed with the gift to articulate myself eloquently. I want to use that to the best of my ability, so I do want to join groups like this.” Officially, Surrey Urban Youth Project is described as “an arts-based, youth-driven, empowerment program providing training in anti-oppression, facilitation, peer-support, conflict transformation, nonviolent communication and community organizing training” for the youth chosen to participate. The primary focus is “on engaging (im)migrant, refugee, indig-

enous and ‘at-risk’ communities in Surrey. We support participants in developing whole and healthy lives to become active leaders in the community.” More than 80 youth applied but space limitations saw only 28 selected to get involved in the current program, which is a partnership project of Pacific Community Resources Society and the Surrey Foundation. Last Monday night at a rehearsal session, Alisha Glidden, 15, wore a pink shirt with the words “shut the duck up” and cartoon drawing of a duck. While the shirt is humorous, and the mood in the room jovial, Alisha is serious about her performance piece. “It’s about the struggles I’ve experienced as an Aboriginal person,” she said. “Before, I wasn’t really that open about saying that I was Aboriginal, because I just didn’t want to be stereotyped. I always shied away from (the subject), until I went to a conference at the Kla-how-eya centre (in Whalley). That changed everything for me, a couple of weeks ago.” Sisters Urooba and Rida Jamal, students at Tamanawis Secondary, are pleased to have made new friends at the program sessions. “We’re all BFFs now,” said Rida with a smile. The May 6 performance at Surrey Arts Centre caps the first phase of the Making Bridges out of Walls program. “It’s always packed,” said mia amir, program co-ordinator with SUYP. “Last year we had to get more sets in order to accommodate the community, which is amazing.” Admission to the show is by donation. “No one (will be) turned away for lack of funds,” says a handbill for the event, which starts at 7:30 p.m. at the Bear Creek Park venue.

Ex-White Rockers make noise in new punk doc film TheBuzz

There’s no shortage of music-related movies at the buzz-worthy DOXA Documentary Film Festival in Vancouver (May 7-16, online at doxafestival.ca). Tom Among them, ZILLICH Michelle Esrick’s Saint Misbehavin: The Wavy Gravy Movie explores the life of the Woodstock-era icon, while A Mountain Musical touches on the Austrian tradition of yodeling with equal parts comedy and drama. There are also tales of ukuleles (the engaging Mighty Uke, which spends a good amount of time profiling the amazing Langley Ukulele Ensemble), singing/dancing lesbian sisters from New Zealand (The Topp Twins: Untouchable Girls), a First Nations folk icon (Buffy Sainte-Marie: A Multimedia Life) and at least one pint-sized Puerto Rican rapper (P-Star Rising). Elsewhere, the local underground music scene is documented in No Fun City, an account of the closure of The Cobalt, a downtown metal bar. Of all, I’m most excited about Bloodied But Unbowed, Susanne Tabata’s chronicle of the late-’70s/early’80s punk scene here on the West Coast. It was a creative and almost always chaotic movement, the sounds and sights of which later influenced the likes of flannel-adorned Kurt Cobain, hardcore icon Henry Rollins and hard-rockers Guns ‘N’ Roses (via Seattle-born bassist Duff McKagan). Tabata’s film is a 75-minute blast of three-chord rebellion told by those who found a second home at the Smilin’ Buddha Cabaret and other landmark gig venues. Some musicians who made the most noise during the era had hitched a ride to the Hastings Street precinct from turf south of the Fraser River. “Some of the key players (musicians) came from there,” Tabata told me, “and

a big part of the core audience for this film lives in Surrey, that area.” Tabata’s 40 interviewees for the movie included the always sardonic John Armstrong, a White Rocker known as Buck Cherry during his days with poppunk band The Modernettes. Armstrong went on to write for the Vancouver Sun before authoring some well-received books and moving to Chilliwack. The Princess Margaret Secondaryschooled Armstrong discovered punk rock through his association with Art Bergmann. They became roommates at a three-bedroom apartment on White Rock’s Marine Drive, where Armstrong learned guitar chords in a call-andresponse game with a couch-surfing Bergmann. “Why he tolerated me I have no idea,” Armstrong wrote in the highly recommended Guilty of Everything, “expect perhaps that he liked me or that I amused him or that I would shoplift cans of beans or soup from the Chinese grocer halfway between school and his house, as a sort of tuition fee.” Eventually, Armstrong formed his own band with guys (re)named Bill Shirt, Mud Bay Slim and Bad Bob. The bandleader’s handle was a play on “Chuck Berry,” apparently inspired by a TV commercial that featured a cartoon cowboy (“Libby the Kid”) shilling canned pasta and beans. Band rehearsals were held in the living room at Beach Apartments, Armstrong recalls in his book. The band’s public debut was at White Rock Sea Festival, and they didn’t exactly make for a summer-afternoon musical interlude. Artist Jim “I, Braineater” Cummins also hailed from this area, as did Gord Nicholl of Active Dog/Pointed Sticks and Bill Shirt (nee Scherk). Trailblazing punk poet Bergmann also appears in Bloodied But Unbowed. Tabata tracked him down at his current home, a farmhouse in rural Airdrie, Alberta, and is thrilled to report the

back or go forward.” Thankfully, she kept moving forward through some troubled financial waters, and now the world can see and hear all those characters who made the Vancouver scene so special. “The amazing thing to me,” Tabata said, “is that a movie like this didn’t exist until now.” Online, the movie has a home at the punkmovie.com, a content-rich website devoted to the music, history and relevant people/bands of the coastal punk scene.

‘Downie syndrome,’ for sure

Bloodied But Unbowed filmmaker Susanne Tabata with musician Art Bergmann on his property in rural Airdrie, Alberta. Bergmann, a former White Rock resident, is featured in the film, which documents the Vancouver punk scene of the late-’70s/early-’80s. one-time voice of The Young Canadians — makers of the memorable, F-bombdropping hit, “Hawaii” — is due to attend the film’s May 13 screening (8 p.m., Granville 7 Theatre), a world premiere. Until now, most of Tabata’s filmmaking efforts have educated young audiences about social-justice issues. With Bloodied But Unbowed, she returns to her roots; back in the day, she interviewed bands for the groundbreaking Nite Dreems cable-TV show co-created by radio DJ John Tanner. For Tabata, it’s been a three-and-ahalf year grind to make Bloodied But Unbowed. “It’s been expensive, and there were many times when giving up would have been easy. It was like I was swimming in the middle of a lake, and not knowing which shore to swim to — go

Matt Mattson has “Gord Downie syndrome” — and that’s a good thing for his musical gig. He’s the singer in The Hip Show, which pays tribute to The Tragically Hip with reverence and accuracy. Last Saturday night (April 24), the band created a buzz at Dublin Crossing Irish Pub, which saw a rare queue of people outside its Fraser Highway doors as the band rocked Hip standards on a corner stage, MATT MATTSON near front windows that face the former Hillcrest Drive-in site. The head-shaven Mattson plays Downie with great enthusiasm, down to the spastic facial contortions, mic-kicking stunts and thrift-store blazers. Back in the mid-1990s, Mattson was roaming the hallways of Earl Marriott Secondary, positioned on the Surrey side of 16th Avenue. Formed by guitarist Joe “Robby Baker” Foley, The Hip Show has been at it since an inaugural show Nov. 21, 2008 at Vancouver’s Fairview Pub. Check out video clips at www.thehipshow.com.

Toronto-based blues band Fathead plays at the Rhumba Room bar Saturday.

❚MUSIC NEWS & VIEWS  continued from page 24 Meanwhile, the real Gord Downie, who has a third solo album (The Grand Bounce) to sing about, brings his Country of Miracles band to the 18th annual Salmon Arm Roots & Blues Festival, which happens Aug. 13-15. Downie’s backing band includes Canadian roots and alt-rockers Josh Finlayson (bass), Dave Clark (drums), Julie Doiron (vocals), Dale Morningstar (guitar) and John Press (keys).

Fear not, Fathead is here

Fathead is considered one of the best blues bands working Canadian tundra these days, so it’s a big deal for White Rock Blues Society to book the Torontobased band for a Saturday-nighter (May 1) at Pacific Inn’s Rhumba Room bar. The gig probably wouldn’t have happened here without some luck of the logistical kind, reports the society’s Rod Dranfield. “Because Fathead are in B.C. to play at a festival (in Harrison Hot Springs, among other places), we were approached by their management to see if we could put on a show,” Dranfield told me. “Over the past three years, we (the blues society) have garnered a solid reputation back east, and the word is out that

we can deliver.… As you can no doubt appreciate, there would be no way we could fly (Fathead) in ourselves.” It’s a similar tag-along scenario for the society’s Friday, June 4 show at the same venue, featuring L.A. blues-harmonica veteran James Harman. The five guys of Fathead, meanwhile, are on a high following the spring release of Where’s The Blues Taking Me, which could give the band even more attention from the Juno Awards caretakers next year. The band’s sound has evolved over the past couple of decades to include straightup blues, ’50s-framed rock ‘n’ roll, funk, gospel and even some cabaret-style soul. “We rarely play a song the same way twice, so we kind of keep our crowds guessing,” Fathead bandleader Al Lerman told me this week. In this quintet, Lerman plays harmonica, tenor sax and vocally backs up lead singer John Mays. Original guitarist Teddy Leonard last year returned to the fold, with Omar Tunoch on bass and drummer Bucky Berger. Tickets are $25 at the door for Fathead’s dance party Saturday at the Rhumba Room, 1160 King George Blvd. Call 604-542-6515 for info, or browse www.whiterockblues.com. tzillich@thenownewspaper.com

ies he tells through his music always takes me some place different, and I really like that.” If you had just three albums to take to a deserted island, what would they be? “Oh, this is such a hard question to answer. I would take Leonard Cohen’s greatest hits because I think he is a genius, and I have so many memories of listening to Leonard. I would also take the 1975 recording of Ella and Oscar, with Ray Brown on bass, because it is such a beautiful album with amazing players who WENDY BOLLARD make it all sound so simple. And I would bring Saturday Night Fever because sometimes a girl just needs to dance around like a fool.” What was the very first album you bought with your own money? “My first memory of owning an album was in Grade 5. I became obsessed with Elvis Presley. I have pictures of my birthday party that year with a bunch of 10-year-old girls holding up Elvis albums, and I can remember dancing around to his music. It’s funny because it was the late-’70s. I guess they must have been showing re-runs of his old movies and I fell in love with the ’60s Elvis. It was soon after that he died. I was doing chores and the radio announcer came on and said that Elvis Presley had died. I cried my eyes out.” Finish this sentence: The best thing about singing with Dal Richards is… “…Knowing that you are singing with a legend.

the privileged few to have the experience of playing with someone who was making this music back in the day when it first came out. It was a real thrill to be up on stage at the PNE with 16 other people making music. It’s not every day you get the opportunity to sing with a big band, and I will be forever grateful to Dal for that opportunity.” If you weren’t a jazz singer and publicist for White Rock Players’ Club, what would you be? “I would be a producer. I get a real thrill out of making things happen. I started producing a music series last year at the Coast Capital Playhouse in White Rock, and I love it. So far, it has been really successful, and we have two more concerts left for this year. On May 8, I will be performing, and on July 10, The Twisters take to the stage. I can’t wait to see what bands we can bring in next year.” What’s next for you, musically speaking? “First up is my May 8 concert at the Coast Capital Playhouse in White Rock. I will be joined on stage by one of my favourite Vancouver vocalists, Laura Crema, and the great blues man Brandon Isaak. Backing us up will be the amazing band of Jodi Proznick, Tilden Webb and Jessie Cahill. This concert should be a lot of fun. These are some of Vancouver’s finest musicians and I am thrilled to be back performing with them again. Then, on June 5, I will be sharing the stage with Shari Ulrich and Bev Elliot at the Living Through Loss Benefit. On July 1, I am performing at the Vancouver jazz fest, and then on July 26 I get the amazing privilege of performing with some cast members of The Lion King at the Revue Stage on Granville Island, in a benefit cabaret called ‘Le Jazz Hot.’ I can’t wait!” — as told to Tom Zillich

When did you first fall in love with jazz music? “I think I have always loved jazz. But I really started to appreciate how amazing the genre was when I went back to school 10 years ago to study music. I had the privilege of studying with fantastic teachers and completely immersing myself in it. One of my first assignments was to listen to ‘Big Butter and Egg Man’ by Louis Armstrong and the Hot Five. I remember thinking, ‘I am going to love this,’ and I did.” Was it acting in musical theatre that brought you to live in Dublin and London years ago? “I moved to London to become a star in the West End theatres; I ended up working in a pub. In my two short years in Dublin, I toured the country with a theatre troupe, made some amazing friends, drank a lot of Guinness, got married, had a baby, left my husband and moved back to Canada.” While in Ireland, word is you spent many nights singing at pub sessions. Is that where the career shift happened? “I think when I was in Ireland, I started to understand that I could really sing and that people wanted to hear me. Up until then, I didn’t think I was a very good singer. I was young and silly and spent too much time comparing myself to others.” You cover “Into the Mystic” on your 2003 CD, Passing Fancies. Are you a huge fan of Van the Man, or just somewhat impressed by his music? “I am definitely a fan. I love his lyrics. I am not a fan in that weird kind of way where you know everything about the guy; he could probably be sitting right beside me on a plane and I wouldn’t know it was him. But the stor-

Sometimes there are magical moments that happen in theatre. You’d think it would be all the time Melanie and, for sure, MINTY live theatre exudes that mythic quality. But truly magical moments are to be savoured and saved. So, I am just going to share a moment of West Coast Tap Dance Collective. The show they put on last Sunday, Simply Tap, was simply amazing. Jeff Hyslop, honouree and guest performer, gave

and seriously think of becoming a member. The next tap day celebration has to be even better, and that will be a challenge. On to my other magical moment from last week. I went to opening night at Surrey Little Theatre for its season finale, Rabbit Hole. OK, so I am used to seeing some pretty good productions at this theatre, but knock my socks off: Rabbit Hole is a drama, no comedy. It is a serious play with heavy emotions. It seems like comedy sells out, but drama is avoided. Well, get out to see Rabbit Hole. It has magic written all over it. Director Alaina Holland has assembled an excellent cast, and their chemistry together on stage will bring you to tears. Bring an eye mop with you. I can’t even begin to tell you the plot because it sounds dreary. So skip the plot line. Five stars to the five cast members, who are Gemma Martini, David Costa, Corrine Out, Mary Renvall and Michael Ringland. Sets, lighting, sound, program, poster — everything — all have a part in making Rabbit Hole a polished production. This production is SLT’s entry for the Theatre BC contest. It should do well in this province-wide competition. Rabbit Hole runs to May 22, Thursday through Saturdays; tickets are $15. Go see this show. Some of you didn’t take my advice and didn’t see Simply Tap. You can now redeem yourselves; reserve by phone at 604-576-8451 or email at reservations@surreylittletheatre.com. Visit Surrey Little Theatre’s website for map and location. So there, I have shared some of my magic moments at the theatre. Surrey Arts Centre would like you to share your story of a special experience you may have had sitting in the seats of the mainstage theatre. Here is what their press release says; I quote, because otherwise you might think that I made it up: “Magic is made in the theatre. Secrets are whispered, mysteries are solved, stories are told and

❚ WHAT’S ON ❚AT THE MOVIES

Comic dust-up for Gross in Osoyoos-shot ‘Gunless’ ReelView

“America is angry!” screamed the cover headline on last week’s Maclean’s magazine. What with Tea Party protests and charges that we are all socialists Julie north of the border, a CRAWFORD film celebrating — and lampooning — Canada/ U.S. brotherhood is apt. It’s Gunless, which opens in theatres today (Friday, April 30). With tongue planted firmly in his cheek, writer/director William Phillips delivers a western upended: What happens when an American fugitive challenges an unarmed man to a gunfight? And who better to play The Montana Kid than Paul Gross, known for such slices of Canadian culture as the recent First World War epic Passchendaele, curling comedy flick Men With Brooms and the benchmark series Due South (which, by the way, still attracts enough fans to inspire an annual convention)? “I had always thought it would be fun to do a western,” said Gross, doing interviews from a deck overlooking Vancouver. He points out that the western “is basically a genre that was invented by eastern European immigrants in Hollywood. It has nothing to do with real history, and definitely nothing to do with ours.” Until now, of course. Phillips was

hooked on the genre from the moment he watched his first western, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. And as a Canadian, Phillips didn’t want to pretend that B.C.’s arid Okanagan region was somewhere else — say, New Mexico. So he started to play with what he considers the iconic elements of the western genre, including the gunslinger and the woman struggling to make it on her own. “I pulled them north of the 49th parallel, and suddenly the rules didn’t apply anymore,” he says via phone from Vancouver. On the run, the notorious Montana Kid finds himself north of the border, in sparsely populated Barclay’s Brush. The first thing he does is get into a scuffle with a local over his horse. The Kid challenges Jack (Tyler Mane) to a gunfight. But there’s a problem: Jack doesn’t own a gun. Determined to follow the gunslinger code, the Kid asks around. Lovely and independent Jane (Sienna Guillory) has a gun; she’ll lend it to him if he’ll help her with some chores out at her ranch. Much fish-out-of-water hilarity ensues as the Kid and Jane forge a relationship while the code, a jealous mountie (Dustin Milligan) and a U.S. bounty hunter (Callum Keith Rennie) interfere. Perhaps the biggest reason Gross signed on to play The Montana Kid was the chance to film in wine country and relax between takes. It was cathartic for the actor to move to lighter fare after the

The heat of B.C.’s wine country last spring/summer was problematic for actor Paul Gross, forced to wear a long-hair wig and wool suit for his role as gun-toting Montana Kid in Gunless, a comedywestern that opens in theatres today. rigors of Passchendaele, which Gross wrote, produced, directed and starred in. “If you’re just acting, there’s nice period of time in between scenes when you can hang out and tell dumb jokes.” Gross tried Sea-dooing for the first time and had a ball riding his horse from base camp to set. Some members of the crew

brought speedboats. “I think we made this film where we made it so everyone but me could have a good time,” Phillips said, laughing. Last spring, the town of Barclay’s Brush was built from scratch on a ranch outside of Osoyoos, in the Richter Pass area. Phillips says the rancher — a “playful” guy who occasionally buzzed the set with his airplane — wanted to hang onto the set once filming was done, rather than have it pulled down. “He said his grandchildren would think it was terrific,” notes Phillips. It wasn’t all fun and games, however. “It was Kelvin 312 degrees, like 45 degrees!” said Gross, who wore a mudcrusted three-piece wool suit for much of the time. And the Kid’s long hair — “one of those decisions you wish you could go back on” — gave him a new appreciation of what women go through. “Ugh. It’s in your mouth and in your eyes… Now I understand why it takes women so long to get ready,” Gross quipped. Gross does some impressive gunslinger tricks in the film, and jokes that he’s now got “typing, voodoo and gunslinging” on his resumé of useless skills. And speaking of those guns, title nonwithstanding, “the film doesn’t have anything to do with being pro- or anti-gun, it’s more playing with the symbol of that gun,” said Phillips. “It’s taking that iconic gunslinger character and turning it on its ear a little bit.”

American painter Georgia O’Keeffe is one of the most influential female painters in history. Kids study her work in grade school, perhaps because her work is so big and so vibrant, and instantly recognizable. Her life was colourful on- and off-canvas: O’Keeffe was an early pioneer of women’s equality, despite the fact that she let the whims of one man control her. The infallibly good Joan Allen stars as O’Keeffe, who leaves dairy country for the promise of success and greater freedom in New York City. The first person she encounters is photographer/gallery owner Alfred Stieglitz, who is showing her paintings without permission. The confrontation turns into mutual admiration, then a love affair, and then an unconventional marriage. Their 20-year relationship is fraught with jealousy — professional on his side, personal on hers — until O’Keeffe finally flees to Taos, New Mexico, where she mines new subjects for her art.

We are your landscaping headquarters.

We are open to the public.

The corseted American society of the early 1900s is nowhere on display here: O’Keeffe and Stieglitz are surrounded by an eclectic circle of friends and family members (Tyne Daly, Ed Begley Jr., Kathleen Chalfant and Linda Emond among them) who embrace their mixture of joie de vivre and artistic torment as commonplace. Stieglitz’s groundbreaking photographic work was quickly eclipsed by O’Keeffe’s painting, but she never stopped championing his work, even after his death. Allen and Irons are both excellent, even when their characters behave badly. Production design is high, and O’Keeffe’s greatest works are displayed to full effect. Because the film was originally made for TV on the Lifetime network, it is necessarily trim, but the story doesn’t suffer too much from editing. — Julie Crawford

An afternoon chasing baseball dreams

Sports

It’s like Michael BOOTH Christmas for Sports Editor the big boys. Little kids awaiting Santa’s visit get nervous, excited and have trouble sleeping the night before the big day. Same thing goes for talented teenaged baseball players on the eve of the annual Major League Scouting Bureau camp. “This is really exciting,” said Trevor Hodgins, an infielder with the North Delta Blue Jays. “I found out I was going last night and I couldn’t get to sleep kind of thing, right? To have a bunch of big league guys watching is cool and everybody starts from here.” This year’ showcase for the baseball bird dogs was held Wednesday afternoon at Whalley Ball Park. Hosted by the Fraser Valley Chiefs, the event attracted scouts from more than half of the major league teams for the opportunity to watch over 40 graduating players from the B.C. Premier Baseball League go through a series of drills. “A rite of spring is exactly what this is,” said Fraser Valley Chiefs general manager Paul Hargreaves. “This is held every year prior to the major league draft, usually around the end of April and the Abbotsford tournament. All these scouts from professional teams will stick around for the next couple of days and head over to watch the kids play against each other in Abbotsford this weekend. To have everybody here in one setting is a chance for everybody to see everybody. It’s a critical part of the scouting process.” The camp is put together each year by the Major League Scouting Bureau under the direction of Walt Burrows, director of scouting for Canada and Alaska. British Columbia has become somewhat of a baseball hotbed in recent years, producing such high drafts picks as Jeff Francis, Adam Loewen and Justin Morneau. As the province’s

Premier Baseball League is the top local loop for high-school aged draft eligible players. The high calibre of play helps the players develop but the league’s insistence on using wooden bats is another positive attribute in the eyes of the scooting fraternity. “Seeing the players here hitting

with wooden bats eliminates the aluminum bat factor out of the game,” Burrows said. “When you hit with an aluminum bat you get rewarded even when you don’t necessarily hit the ball correctly. “With wooden bats the sweet spot is smaller and when scouts see the kids hitting with wood, it helps them a lot. The ball comes off a wooden bat differently and when scouts watch kids at this age hit with wood, it tells them who can hit and who can’t.” For the players, the camp is one of the highlights of the baseball season. They get to take an afternoon off school to show the scouts what they can do in front of their peers. “Things like this are pretty big even though I know I’m going to UBC next year,” said Chiefs out-

fielder Adam Quan. “Everybody wants to get drafted and play pro ball at some point in their life — anybody who wants to play baseball anyways. Everybody here wants to be seen by the scouts and this is a great opportunity to do that.” White Rock Tritons outfielder Keenan Chanin added, “It’s a lot of fun actually. I like the pressure and it’s a good chance to see what I can do.” When the camp ended later Wednesday, the players returned to their teams and began preparing for the next highlight of the season, this weekend’s tournament in Abbotsford. The final results from Wednesday’s camp won’t be known until the Major League Baseball Amateur Draft in June.

Surrey’s Adam Svensson topped a field of more than 80 rivals to win the junior boys division at the 2010 CN Future Links Pacific Championship held at Beach Grove Golf Club in Tsawwassen last weekend. The 16-year-old Earl Marriott student carded a final-round twounder-par 69 — including three birdies and just one bogey — to finish at four-under-par (72-68-69) 209 for the

three-day championship. Svensson’s score was good enough for a onestroke win over runner-up Wilson Bateman of Alberta. It’s the second strong showing for Svensson in the past fortnight. Earlier this month he finished second overall while helping Canada win a fourcountry Toyota World Junior Golf qualifying tourney in Mexico. Other Surrey results included

Brock Staller in 35th place and Jay Kim five spots back in 40th. In junior women’s competition, Surrey’s A Ram Choi finished with a cumulative six-over-par (70-75-74) 219 to wind up tied for third place.

Cox, Hayden James

With saddened hearts we regretfully announce the passing of Hayden suddenly on April 22, 2010. Hayden was born on May 25, 1995 and is survived by his twin sister Makaela, parents Jim and Debbie, brother’s Craig and Damion Stebanuk, grandparents Pat and Daphne Noon and Darrell Cox, along with aunts, uncles and cousins.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: Chase money, especially money owed to you, or pursue past dollar sources such as a former job/employer. Pay old bills. Life is easy, mild. But don’t start any new projects before May 11. You might discover, early week, that there is a ﬂaw or major hindrance in something you thought was “in the bag,” especially in romantic, creative or speculation zones. Work with a Gemini, Taurus or Capricorn to overcome that ﬂaw. (Or just accept it.) Communications are affectionate, especially with someone who means a lot to you (enemies can mean a lot, too!). Happiness, Wednesday/Thursday!

Cancer June 21-July 22: A former friend, schoolmate, could pop by, phone. If this occurs Sunday to Tuesday noon, or Friday/Saturday, it could have bigger implications – opportunity, love, travel, etc. Be engaging, welcoming. Your domestic scene has “lightened up” lately, and will stay light until late July. (This also takes the pressure off marriage and other partnerships.) Use this interval to prepare for the resumption of “serious matters” in this arena late July through 2012. Get contracts signed, disagreements settled, etc. Someone out there wants to “rescue” you. If the knight’s white, say yes.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Mysteries, intimate bonding, sex, pregnancy, lifestyle change, commitments and consequences, crime, research, dreams, investments, ﬁnances, inheritances and other people’s money – these continue to occupy you, and continue to be subject to delays, mistakes and misunderstandings. Be patient. Reprise the past – e.g., grab a former lover, chase former ﬁnancial situations, revisit former mysteries. You might be contemplating marriage, or another cultural passage. Wait: January to June 2011 will bring your answer, ring your bell. Security, home Sunday-Tuesday. Romance mid-week.

Taurus April 20-May 20: Your energy and charisma soar, you love life and it loves you! But once every four years your April/May high-energy period will occur while it is unwise to begin new projects – as now. These 1-in-4 year phases must be meant to nudge you into cleaning up your past, or seizing it so you don’t lose something --- or someone – valuable. That might be why old ﬂames, nostalgia, old contacts, and past “ungrabbed” opportunities return, as they are doing now. So use your high energy and magnetism this week, but use it to reprise (or clean up) the past. Joy, Friday/Saturday!

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Start nothing new before May 11. Reprise the past in career, prestige areas – and protect these from mistakes, supply shortages, missed meetings, etc. A former career role might return. You’re still assertive/aggressive, your face is redder than usual, you want quick results, and you might push people too hard – this from last October to early June 2010 (and Monday/Tuesday!). On the good side, higher learning, foreign countries and lawyers beneﬁt you. Your social life has picked up! Work hard Sunday to Tuesday noon. Be ﬂexible, welcoming mid-week. Mysteries, intimacy late week.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Relationships remain your prime focus. Don’t start new ones. Protect ongoing contacts from (your?) neglect. You could deal with a former spouse, business partner or contact, or a former opportunity might return (especially one involving the public, relocation, sex, ﬁnances, and/or a social group). You could grow increasingly intimate with a friend or affectionate bond. That’s good. If you learn a secret Sunday/Monday, it’s true. Take care if a relationship conﬂicts with your career or community status. Slow down, attend to home, family mid-week. Romance, creativity visit Friday/Saturday!

Gemini May 21-June 20: Lie low, rest, make no demands.Cleanup,handleoldobligations,governmentrelated tasks, administrative duties – and be nice. (Bureaucrats do engage in revenge sometimes.) Your speech and writing is a bit aggressive, male, volatile – and unusually friendly – last October to this coming June. Neglected chores will return. So might an old ﬂame, but a quiet or restrictive or burdensome one, perhaps someone you want to protect. (Remember, this is your year for career success, not for shenanigans.) Big money, mysteries and sex favour you Sunday to Tuesday. Mid-week’s mellow.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Start nothing new before May 11. An assortment of old friends, former lovers, teachers, schoolmates, even bosses might have started ﬂowing in – most of these won’t last, so be non-committal until you see who “sticks.” A Taurus, Gemini and/or another Virgo ﬁgure prominently. Romance, creative or speculative urges, love for happy children – these bless you Sunday to noon Tuesday. The “person” side of this shines bright; the sex/ intimate side meets problems, perhaps due to security factors. Relationships intrigue you Friday/Saturday. For 15 years, marriage/love will fascinate you.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: The accent remains on work — you have a lot to do, including chores you neglected weeks or months ago. Tackle these. If unemployed, contact former employers, or return to a former ﬁeld. But DON’T start any brand new work projects, nor buy machinery. All this to May 11. If a co-worker’s driving you crazy, just take a deep breath. Your spouse is affectionate. If you’re unattached, others respond sweetly (but don’t seek anyone brand new before May 11). Money has “signiﬁcance” or involves important news Sunday-Tuesday. Be domestic, or in nature, Friday/Saturday.

May 2 - 8 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Romance is deep, meaningful, might be of marriage quality. This applies especially if an old flame has wandered back. Take a chance on this. But don’t start a brand new relationship now – it would forever remain an “unfinished symphony.” Same advice applies to creative, speculative, sports and pleasure projects. Work is pleasant, co-workers affectionate. Your energy and charisma soar Sunday to noon Tuesday – much succeeds, but don’t push love toward intimacy too soon, and beware mixing gambling with investments. Money’s important mid-week – be nimble! Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Rest, lie low and contemplate people, things, your life Sunday to noon Tuesday. There is much to think over, and a series of valuable insights, especially in the areas of home, security, spirit, government, sex and intimacy, romance and large finances. Your relations with others (or one other) are at a low, and critical point. Don’t expect agreement, but do realize you are probably in the “power seat” of this relationship now. (As opposed to last October/November, when roles were switched.) A “déjà-vu” situation might exist. Your energy and charisma return mid-week. Money, Friday. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: You’re busy, but not pressured (much) – enjoy the respite.Your popularity rises Sunday to noon Tuesday – seek friends, be happy, flirt with a casual acquaintance you haven’t seen in awhile, have fun! (That casual friend might be the key to a significant social, even partnership event.) But realize restlessness can interfere with job success. Settle into rest, contemplation and mild withdrawal Tuesday noon through Thursday. True insight, inspiration arrives Thursday. Your energy and charisma surge Friday/Saturday! Attract and do. But don’t start anything new before May 11. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014

By changing your driving habits, even a little, you could save hundreds of dollars a year in fuel and help reduce your carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Fuel-efficient driving is a safe way of driving that produces the lowest fuel consumption from every vehicle, regardless of your vehicle’s size and age. Here are some tips to get you started: ❚ Accelerate gently — Every time you put your foot on the gas pedal, you feed fuel to your engine - the harder you apply the gas, the more fuel your engine uses and the more emissions your car produces. Pretend you have an egg or water balloon beneath your foot to keep things light; ❚ Maintain a steady speed – To avoid unnecessary acceleration altogether, drive at a steady speed. Not only will you consume less fuel, but you will also help enhance traffic flow, minimize exhaust emissions and enjoy safer driving conditions; ❚ Anticipate traffic — Avoid the unnecessary fuel consumption – and safety risk – associated with hard braking and rapid acceleration by reading the road ahead and anticipating situations before they arise. This basic defensive driving technique negates the need for sudden stops and saves fuel; ❚ Coast to decelerate – As a driver, you often need to apply your brakes to bring your vehicle to a complete stop. By removing your foot from the accelerator as early as possible, you can decrease your speed, conserve fuel and save money all at the same time; ❚ Avoid high speeds — It’s tempting to speed on the highway but by reducing your speed from 120 km/hour to 100 km/hour you can lower your fuel consumption by about 20 per cent. ❚ For the average driver, fuel-efficient driving can result in a 25 per cent reduction in fuel costs or roughly $500 a year - $2,500 over five years. Not only does fuel-efficient driving save fuel, but it also reduces maintenance costs. During a recent challenge, drivers reduced brake usage by over 33 per cent. By applying fuel-efficient skills, drivers can save fuel, reduce maintenance costs, and reduce the impact of their driving on the environment. You can find out more about driving and fuel efficiency at www.vehicles.nrcan.gc.ca.

❚AUTOMOTIVE ❚NISSAN

Cube is Japan’s latest attempt to win youthful hearts Nissan’s own unique take on the hip-to-besquare automobile and demands attention, simply because it stands out from every other vehicle on the road. Regardless of whether you love it or hate it (it’s nearly impossible to be indifferent), you’ll definitely notice it. And if you haven’t already familiarized yourself, you might not know what to make of it. Like crossovers a

few short years ago, it’s difficult to categorize the cube, which brings SUV-like dimensions to the subcompact market. Is it a micro-SUV, a new kind of crossover vehicle, or just an oddly shaped hatchback? Nissan lists the cube in the “cars” section of its Web site, as opposed the “Crossover and SUVs” section, so we’ll stick with that definition. Perhaps it’s best to think of it as a

variation on the Versa hatchback, with which the cube shares its front-wheel-drive chassis and drivetrain. If you’re among those who think the cube is trendy and cute, then you’re in luck — beneath the asymmetrical rear styling and cartoon-like curves of the exterior, the cube is a pleasantly practical and affordable car with a number of great features. Thanks to

an entirely horizontal roofline, it actually fits four adults comfortably — shocking for such a small vehicle—and it comes with an impressive list of standard safety equipment that includes ABS, traction control, electronic stability control, and six airbags. All of this adds up to make the $16,998 cube a very attractive vehicle, even if we weren’t in the midst of a global recession.

Of course, there are other small, fuelefficient vehicles that are just-as or almost-as reasonable as the cube, so the real question is: how much do you love the styling? Early adopters should treat the cube as the fashion statement, and expect it to eventually blend into the surroundings once the general public has grown accustomed to it. If you’re fully behind the cube’s unique proposition, then jump right in.

Nissan calls the cube’s styling “bulldog with sunglasses”, and it’s hard to argue with that description. Whereas many of today’s vehicles look almost feline thanks to swept and pointed headlamps, the cube is definitely canine in

nature. Notable design features include the checkerboard grille, windows that look like they were sculpted into the sheet metal, and the abundance of softly rounded curves that define its rectangular proportions. And then there’s the rear window, which wraps seemingly all the way around the right side of the car — in reality, it’s a deft illusion created by the dark-tinted window and blacked-out rear pillar. The interior is simple — maybe too simple. It’s certainly unique — particularly the concentric circles in the roof that ripple outward from the cabin light like water—and very funky, but isn’t

necessarily exciting or compelling. Great build quality all around.

Performance

Power comes from the same 1.8L inlinefour with 122-hp and 127 lb-ft of torque found in the Versa. The engine is mated to a six-speed manual or Nissan’s Xtronic continuously variable transmission (CVT), and is tuned to favour torque over horsepower—an appropriate choice for a vehicle that has no intentions of going too fast. Around town, the cube has more than enough power and performs surprisingly well—particularly when equipped with the excellent CVT, which constantly adjusts gear ratios to provide optimum power. Handling is smooth, balanced, and natural, though some might feel like the cube is swaying in the corners purely due to the tall, square body. Smart move by Nissan to provide reassurance in the form of standard traction and stability control, which are rare treats in this price range. Ride quality is similarly very good, and while the cube is no luxury car, it’s devoid of the noise, vibration, and harshness generally expected in small cars. Wind noise will be prevalent on the highway due to the nonaerodynamic shape, but road noise is pleasingly minimal.

Environment

As noted previously, the considerable headroom available in the cube makes it easy to fit in four adults, all of whom sit tall in upright chairs like those commonly found in SUVs. The cube’s almost lounge-like chairs are very comfortable, with scooped out bottoms and backsides that easily accommodate passengers of all shapes and sizes. Rather than employing a swing-up hatch, the cube’s rear door has its hinges on the left side, so that it’s eas-

ily accessed from the curb. The rear seats split and fold 60/40, which is a good thing since there isn’t a lot of cargo space behind them. However, folding the seats doesn’t create a completely flat floor, as there’s a drop-off into the cargo area. It might have been better if the cargo space had been designed for a flat floor with a reinforced storage bin underneath. Likely expecting owners to install their own aftermarket sound systems, Nissan provided the base trim level with the most mundane of stereos, which includes four speakers and an auxiliary input jack, but can’t read MP3 CDs or access an iPod or USB drive. An upgraded unit can be had with six speakers and an optional subwoofer.

Features

The cube starts at $16,998, and comes in two trim levels: 1.8 S and 1.8 SL. Standard features on the S trim include ABS, traction control, electronic stability control, cruise control, heated exterior mirrors, air conditioning, remote keyless entry, power windows, tilt steering, four-speaker CD stereo, tire-pressure monitoring system, security system, and front/side/ side-curtain airbags. Other notable features, available as options or standard on the SL, include fog lamps, body kit, backup sensors, push-button ignition, Bluetooth, six-speaker CD/MP3 stereo, and a subwoofer upgrade. Nissan also offers a wide selection of dealer-installed accessories, including a shag dashboard topper that serves no purpose other than to bring shag carpet back to the automotive world. At best, fuel economy is rated at 7.3L/100km in the city and 6.5L/100km on the highway when the cube is equipped with the Xtronic CVT.

Diesel powered vehicles haven’t gained widespread popularity with North American

which are gaining recognition and popularity. Diesel powered cars account for up to 70 per cent of new car sales in Europe- where fuel prices are considerably higher than they are in Canada. For years, Europeans have adapted to the high cost of driving by embracing the diesel engine. The latest from the clean diesel front is coming to North America- and many of the models we’ll soon see are powered by advanced engines which have been available overseas for some time. For instance, BMW’s three-litre, six-cylinder twin-turbo diesel engine will be available in Canada powering the X5 XDrive35d SUV and freshly updated 335d models. The powerplant has proven itself elsewhere in the world by winning several international awardsincluding ‘Engine of the Year’ on more than one occasion. The engine utilizes a slew of cutting-edge technologies employed as part of BMW’s Efficient Dynamics strategy. It runs clean and quiet while delivering the driving thrills and refinement that characterize BMW’s lineup. Robert Dexter, a BMW Group Product Specialist, says “the current generation of clean diesel engines have been produced for Europe and other markets for a few years now. The word is out that the driving dynamics of modern BMW diesels can barely be distinguished from the respective gasoline versions – and that they offer greater fuel economy and an exceptional torque curve.” More information on the latest in diesel technology can be found online at BMW. ca. — News Canada
