Quinn acquitted ofmurder in the death ofMatthew Martins

Tom ZYTARUKStaff Reporter

Best of the best SURREY A Surrey mother who wasaccused of urging her boyfriend to kill ateenaged boy at the Surrey Central SkyTrainstation has been acquitted of second-degreemurder.

Gasps of elation from the accuseds side,and horror from the victims, filled the packedcourtroom in New Westminister as B.C.Supreme Court Justice Wendy Baker deliv-ered her verdict Monday after reading her 59-page reasons for judgment.

The accused, 27-year-old Katherine Quinn,gasped, put her hand to her mouth and burstout in tears. She then hugged her friendsand family while Sandra Martins-Toner, themother of the victim, appeared emotionallydemolished on the other side of the room.

The judge was met with scoffs and yeahright when she said she hopes the victimsfamily will see justice had prevailed.

Asked if his client willmake a statement, Quinnsdefence lawyer Jim Millarreplied I hope not.Outside court, a smallsea of reporters swampedMartins-Toner.

I feel as though wefailed our son, shesobbed. Justice has failedmy child and it will failmany more children.

The Crowns casecentred on the testimony of witnesses, someof whom cannot be identified because of apublication ban, whod testified theyd heardKatherine Quinn, 27, tell her boyfriendRobert Forslund, If you love me, youll killhim, among other recollections.

Baker took two hours to explain her deci-sion, which essentially boiled down to herfinding a reasonable doubt as to Quinns guiltbecause she could not rely on the accuracyand reliability of the witnesses recollectionsbecause of inconsistencies in their testimony.

I must be satisfied beyond a reasonabledoubt, Baker said.

This is Quinns second trial on the matter.She had been convicted of second-degreemurder in the stomping death of 16-year-old

Sandra Martins-Toner and her hus-band, David, leave court Monday in NewWestminster. They vow to continue theirfight for victims rights despite the verdict.

SURREY Hes surprised bythe backlash, but hes listening.

So said Conservative MP RussHiebert Monday after getting anearful from constituents angryover his spending.

Hiebert (South Surrey-WhiteRock-Cloverdale) made headlineslast week when the public learnedhed logged $637,000 in expenseslast year, the second highest totalin all of Canada and tops amongB.C. parliamentarians. That totalincluded more than $214,000 intravel expenses alone.

Hiebert defended his travelcosts saying he wants to keep hisyoung family together so he fliesthem back and forth betweenOttawa and his riding at publicexpense. Such spending is permit-

ted under the rules governing MPexpenses, but even so, the publicoutcry has been fierce and largelynegative and Hiebert said thattook him by surprise.

I would say, yeah, definitelysurprised. I can understand it,but, yeah...

In a press release sent outMonday morning, Hiebertacknowledged that many con-stituents were surprised andeven disappointed to learn aboutmy expenses. I have heard frommany constituents directly. Iunderstand their concerns and Icare what they think.

In a follow-up phone conver-sation, Hiebert said he will nowre-examine how he spends tax-payer money and look for ways toreduce his costs.

Asked if he had any specificthoughts about where he mightcut expenses, Hiebert said simply,

Everything is on the table. Imcommitted to my family, but Imalso committed to my constitu-ents.

Hiebert also said he supportsallowing Auditor General SheilaFraser to examine Parliamentsbooks. Frasers request to do sowas rejected last week by theboard of internal economy, anall-party parliamentary commit-tee that oversees the operationof the House of Commons andMP spending. In a press release,the board said such an audit isoutside the scope of the auditorgenerals office and, therefore,would not be granted.

Now, Hiebert said, he willwork to regain the confidence ofvoters in his riding.

I work very hard for my con-stituents, but in the end, Ill letthem be the judge of that.

Matthew Martins but the B.C. Court of Appealoverturned that in 2007, after finding no evi-dence to support the Crowns allegation Quinnhad supplied Forslund with the beer bottle heused to slash Martins throat. Forslund wasconvicted of second-degree murder in the casein 2007 and is serving a life sentence.

The murder happened on July 2, 2005.Martins, a smallish teen nicknamed littleman by his friends, had been walking bythe couples Whalley house when Quinn amother of three decided shed mug the boyfor his gold chain. Martins cut her under herarm with a small knife, leaving a two-milli-metre-deep slice, to escape. Seeking revenge,Forslund, described as a large man, hunted the

boy down and punched, kicked and stompedthe teen before cutting his throat with aBudweiser beer bottle.

Baker noted that only one bystander ayoung woman attempted to stop the savagebeating. She said its a sad commentary somany people failed to save the young man. Ifanyone had the power to do so, she said, itwas Quinn, but there was no evidence she didanything to stop it. Indeed, Quinn had startedthe sequence of events that led to Martinsdeath. The judge called Quinns behaviour inthe matter reprehensible.

Outside the courthouse, Sandra Martins-Toner, being comforted by her husband David,lashed out at the witnesses who didnt try tostop Forslund. Your apathy is unbelievable, tosee a child killed like that, she said.

Her younger son Braydan, 13, tried to puton a brave face for reporters. I miss my broth-ers a lot, he told them.

Martins-Toner has been through the wring-er. Her father died during the first trial, andher mother during the second. After her sonwas murdered, she formed a victims advocacygroup called F.A.C.T., or Families AgainstCrime and Trauma, and wrote a book aboutthe case entitled The Last Six Minutes.

A second book is in the works, she said. Shecalled the process therapeutic.

Meantime, David Toner said the verdictconfirms that change is needed to the justicesystem.

We will continue to be advocates for therest of our days, he said.

Surrey RCMP Chief Superintendent FraserMacRae and Delta police chief Jim Cessford havereceived special recognition in Ottawa.

Both received the Order of Merit of the PoliceForces at a ceremony presided by Governor GeneralMichalle Jean at Rideau Hall last week.

They are among only 23 police officers fromacross the country to receive aMember of the Order of Merit,while six received an officer ofthe Order of Merit and one wasthe recipient of the commanderof the Order of Merit.

The Order of Merit of thePolice Forces was created 10years ago to recognize conspicu-ous merit and exceptional ser-vice by members and employeesof Canadian police forces whosecontributions extend beyondprotection of the community.Three levels of membership were established.

According to the governor general, the primaryfocus is on exceptional merit, contributions to poli-cing and community development.

The commissioner of the RCMP, the principalcommander of the order, submits recommendations

for appointment to the governor general on behalfof an advisory committee. Nominations for appoint-ment are made by submitting the name of a memberor employee of a police force to the commandingofficer of that force.

Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said MacRae hasproven time and time again that hes a leader in our

community... his leadership, dedi-cation and innovative approach-es to crime reduction haveresulted in lower crime rates andincreased public safety.

Cessford, meanwhile, hasalso been racking up the accol-ades. Last year he was namedCitizen of the Year by theDelta Chamber of Commerce.Previously with the Edmontonpolice department, he took overthe top spot in Delta in 1995and is the longest serving police

chief in the country.Offering her congratulations to the chief, Mayor

Lois Jackson said Cessford uses a proactive com-munity-based policing approach that has beeneffective in reducing crime and its impact in Delta.

SURREY No cases of Grade 8 girls fallingprey to older high school boys bent on sexualconquest have been uncovered, according toSurrey RCMP.

The alarm was raised earlier last month when staff atCloverdales Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary came across evidencethat a small number of senior boys were competing to see whocould seduce the greatest number of Grade 8 girls before theschool year drew to a close.

School staff learned of the scheme through conversations withsome students and comments posted on a Facebook page.

Letters were sent home to parents of Grade 8 girls and thoseof Tweedsmuirs Grade 11 and 12 boys warning of the scheme,counselling was arranged for the girls and things were handedover to the RCMP for investigation.

So far, no cases of actual seduction appear to have beenuncovered.

From what I understand, no, nothing, said Surrey RCMPConst. Peter Neily Monday.

I spoke with our youth section and they tell me theres noth-ing new.

There has been some criticism of the decision to warn parents,but district spokesman Doug Strachan said it would have been amistake not to tell them.

We had no right to withhold that information once we hadreceived it, Strachan said.

We felt the parents not only would want to know, that theyneeded to know.

Strachan said one graduating student at Tweedsmuir and hisfather complained to the school because they felt the entire gradclass was tarnished when the story got into the media.

On the other hand, we had several parents who expressedtheir thanks for the way the school handled the situation,Strachan said.

NORTH DELTA The Tidewaters Pub and Grill beneath the AlexFraser Bridge is no more.

It was swept away by fire early Friday morning with only a burnthusk of a building remaining at 10190 River Rd.

Five fire trucks and 22 firefighters were called to the pub at about2 a.m. to find a raging fire.

No one was in the building at the time; the place had closed at 1a.m. and the staff had since set the alarm and locked the premises,Delta Deputy Fire Chief Paul Scholfield said.

The entire site is surrounded by yellow police tape and is guardedby the Delta police.

On Monday an excavator was expected to dig into the wreck toenable fire investigators to determine what caused the fire.

Right now we have nothing to believe its suspicious, Scholfieldsaid.

The pub, formerly known as the Sidetrack Pub, was featured inthe 1988 Jodie Foster film The Accused.

Dog owners inDelta already knowthey are required tohave a licence fortheir four-legged friends, but thatcould soon also be the case forcats.

A report will be coming toDelta council in the comingweeks with recommendations fora cat licensing system.

The new requirement, partof an updated animal controlbylaw, would require cat ownersto register their felines. Ratherthan a typical tag thats given for

dogs, the plan would also see tinychips embedded in cats, whichwould enable animal control staffto easily and quickly identify alost cat brought in to the DeltaCommunity Animal Shelter.

At a council workshop lastmonth, politicians debated theidea put forward in a report bythe municipal solicitor.

Noting dog owners are cur-rently subsidizing the costs ofsheltering and caring for straycats, Coun. Robert Campbell saidthe recommendation is to havea phased approach over two to

three years with the fee likelycoming on stream in the secondyear.

He said one of the manyadvantages is a higher return ratefor stray and missing cats, whichreduces the shelters expendituresas the cats would not require suchlengthy stays.

The other thing is, someoneloses a cat, we pick it up and howdo we get it back to the owners?Thats pretty difficult, he said.

The report to council notessome of the disadvantages ofthe program will likely include

dissatisfaction from cat ownersrequired to pay a fee, particularlythose whose cats are strictly housepets. Theres also the physical actof capturing a cat for impound-ments or identification, which canbe more difficult than catching adog. Depending on the compli-ance, the licensing program couldgenerate anywhere from $16,000to $100,000 per year, according tothe report.

The annual fee for a spayedor neutered cat would be around$20, said Campbell.

Animal shelter manager Sarah

Lowe said having permanentidentification through a licensinga program would solve a hugecat problem. She said the shelterhas about 70 cats, including 25kittens and several pregnant cats.

We have to figure out inour community and all over theLower Mainland what to doabout this problem with cats andnot enough homes.

The report to council suggestsa penalty of $50 for spayed/neu-tered cats and $100 for unspayed/uneutered cats caught roaming atlarge.

The Select Standing Committeeon Legislative Initiatives will begiven the task of what to do withthat anti-HST petition that contin-ues to collect signatures.

Ive written in this space beforethat despite the obvious unpopu-larity of the HST, the B.C. Liberalgovernment is unlikely to repealthe tax on its own, even as it tum-bles off a cliff in public opinion.

Last week, Premier GordonCampbell said he will follow thelaw and hand the petition offto the committee, which will befaced with two avenues of possibleaction.

The committee will either turnthe petitions language into a pieceof legislation to be tabled in thelegislature, or it will submit thepetition to a general referendumacross the province.

Recently, I speculated the refer-endum route was unlikely but nowIm not so sure. The reason forrethinking this possibility is that

InTheHouse

like many other people, I neglect-ed to go back and review the leg-islation governing referendums inthis province.

The law states that 50 per centof all voters in this province mustvote in favour in order for a ref-erendum question to pass andbecome legislation.

Not 50 per cent of those whobother to vote but 50 per cent ofthe near three million registeredvoters in B.C.

Will 1.5 million people vote torepeal the HST? Thats the num-ber that is required, and while itscertainly possible, it may prove toohigh a number to attain.

To put this in context, remem-ber that in the 2009 election, only1.6 million people even botheredto vote. In other words, almostevery single person who voted lasttime for whatever party wouldhave to vote yes in a referendumto repeal the HST in order for itto pass.

To put it another way, the anti-HST petition, while very successful(much to my surprise, I admit) isstill a long way from attracting 1.5million signatures.

Bill Vander Zalm, who hasorganized the petition drive, thinkshe may get a million signatures bythe time his sign-up period expires

in early July. That would be a veryimpressive accomplishment, buthed still be a half million signa-tures short of whats required in areferendum.

Another important factor toconsider is the timing of the refer-endum. By law, its not to happenuntil Sept. 24, 2011. After morethan one year actually living withthe full impact negative andpositive of the HST, will 1.5 mil-lion people still turn out to vote torepeal it?

For these reasons, the refer-endum appears to be the mostenticing option open to a govern-ment hell-bent on keeping the tax.The B.C. Liberals are likely to betthat when all is said and done 16months from now, not enoughpeople will get out and vote to getrid of the HST.

It may seem to be a safe bet, butthen again many people includ-ing me, I repeat! discounted thechances of the anti-HST petitionsucceeding and were proven deadwrong.

History shows that tax revoltsdont last very long, but we may bein uncharted waters with the HST.The prospects of a recall campaignagainst one or more Liberal MLAsis still a real possibility, even if areferendum is promised.

In any event, the white-hot issuewill soon be handed off to thatgroup of anonymous B.C. Liberalbackbenchers (one has to wonderwhether Campbell will alter themakeup of the committee to givehis side more experience).

Of course, the premier will betelling his backbenchers what todo (the NDP has four members aswell). Nevertheless, it seems oddthat the fate of the B.C. Liberalgovernment is about to be turnedover to six people with very littlepolitical experience between them.

But, as the premier says, thatsthe law.

PointYOUR LETTERS

Soldiers cant fly families to Afghanistan, can they, Russ?The Editor,

Re: Slap in the face, theNows editorial, May 28.

My nephew just returnedfrom his second tour of duty inAfghanistan and, unfortunately, hehad to leave his wife and baby athome.

Too bad he couldnt bring hisfamily with him and set them upin a nice hotel so he could spendtime with his precious family.

Russ Hiebert, shame on you foryour spending. You shouldnt havesigned on to a job that would haverepercussions on your family, andmaybe you should have discussedthis with your constituents as partof your platform before you wereelected.

C. Smith, Surrey

Now protects democracyThe Editor,

I want to thank you for yourarticles on MP Russ Hiebert.

I am not the kind of personwho writes newspapers to state myopinion, but I was so pleased tosee a Canadian newspaper repre-senting the democratic interests oftaxpayers in this community.

For once, a newspaper putpolitical overspending front andcentre where it belongs on thefront page.

Newspapers guarantee demo-cratic rights and make the elec-toral system work when editorialpolicy isnt linked to party politics,or party propaganda.

Thanks again for actually func-tioning to protect democraticinterests of citizens at large, andI hope Russ Hiebert enjoys thepaper as much as I did!

T. Joyce, Surrey

Strong families are vitalThe Editor,

I havent seen Russ Hieberts

financials but if taking his fam-ily with him to Ottawa puts hisexpenses above some others while staying within his budget Im willing to support that.

There are too many things tear-ing our families apart. A strongnation starts with a strong family.

Having said that, no doubttheres room to tighten his spend-ing and still have his family withhim.

Marilyn E. Pearson, Surrey

Hieberts a fine exampleThe Editor,

Your articles criticizing RussHiebert regarding MP expenseshave been subjective and unfair.

His travel expenses were largelya function of geography. Anyonewho has travelled in this countrywill realize that the MPs in B.C.will have higher travel expensesthan those from Ontario.

I think Russ has set an excellentexample of high family values inkeeping his young family togetherby taking them with him whenParliament is in session.

Furthermore, this is within par-liamentary guidelines.

In our vast country, I think itis vital that we support our finerepresentatives in government andalso ensure that they are able tospend as much time as possible intheir ridings keeping in touch withthose whom they represent.

Bill Taylor, White Rock

Expenses must be publishedThe Editor,

The expense account of MPRuss Hiebert, for one fiscal year,would appear excessive to any per-son who works for a normal livingor who is living on a fixed incomein retirement.

Not only are Hieberts expensesan outrageous example of gov-

ernment largesse to an electedpolitician, but he stands almostalone as an outlier on the personalexpense curve on the very highside.

We have heard the personalfamily values preservation argu-ments from Hiebert. Would anylong haul trucker, mining campresident, or oil rig labourer, etc.be more than slightly envious oftravel expense reimbursements likeHieberts?

How about paying real incomeearners a supplement so that theycan bring spouses and childrencloser to the work site?

Hieberts expense accountshould be parsed and publishedright down to the last candy bar.

Next, we should retire him fromhis position at the next election.

Charles Dubois, White Rock

Editorial showed courageThe Editor,

I would like to congratulate youfor your front page and your edi-torial about Russ Hiebert.

There are very few journalistsnowadays who have the courageto write editorials like this.

Thank you.

Ofelia Moldovan, Surrey

Hiebert should be laudedThe Editor,

Your editorial and your columnabout Russ Hiebert, both of thesame flavour, need an alternativeperspective.

In todays world, the family unitis at odds with the successfulfamily.

It is normal, expected andnecessary for both husband andspouse to be employed full-time;regardless of the number of chil-dren we might have.

The family unit must squeezeitself into societys time schedule,

sacrificing family time for success.The fact that a man who has

been chosen to represent hisconstituents in the House ofCommons, to voice our concerns,raise our issues and to performthese tasks while still fulfilling hisresponsibilities as a father and ahusband, should be celebratedrather than condemned.

Hiebert is bucking the trend, heis not following the formula thatothers in our society have deemedacceptable and expected. Hiebertis putting his marriage and hisresponsibility as a father and ahusband before his responsibilityto the taxpayer.

Imagine what our society wouldlook like if our marriages and ourfamilies were given this same con-sideration in all Canadian house-holds.

Maybe the quest to be like andkeep up with the Jones would failmiserably, but what unmeasur-able value would this mean to oursociety?

How can I be upset with a manwho is within the rules, and put-ting his family first?

Kris Sorenson, Surrey

One MP for the price of fourThe Editor,

MP Russ Hiebert spent$637,093 of our money last year,$214,360 of which paid for hisfamily to fly between Ottawaand his home and constituencyin South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale, because Russ doesntwant to be apart from them. Ever.

He is no bargain. A bargainwould be four MPs for the priceof one. Instead, with Mr. Hiebert,were getting one MP for the priceof four.

I guess we should be relievedthat the Hieberts dont have 10 or15 kids.

We couldnt afford them.

It was an extreme homemakeover, Uganda edition.

Laura-Lynn Tyler-Thompson is back in Surrey after helping asingle grandmother and her three grandchil-dren move out of a shack and into a fully-fur-nished, three-bedroom brick home in a villagein the African nation.

Tyler-Thompsons efforts were part of hergoal to give something back to the countrywhere she was born and raised before shefled to Canada, in 1973, with her missionaryparents.

I am not a fundraiser, I am not a pro-ject manager, I am just a white girl with anAfrican heart (who) had to find a way to giveback to the country of my birth, she told theNow.

Tyler-Thompson, who lives in the FraserHeights area, is best known as a talk-showhost on local cable TV.

In recent months, sheraised funds for the char-ity mission and, in lateApril, flew to Uganda tomeet government officials,who introduced her to animpoverished grandmanamed Maria. Less thantwo weeks later, afterworking to repair and fur-nish the new home, theSurreyite handed a giantceremonial house key

to the thankful villager, capping one of thegreatest days in Tyler-Thompsons life.

Her experience with the little house onthe equator has given Tyler-Thompson anidea to help construct housing for 20 familieswho live in the slums of Kampala. I willspend the rest of my life, she said, trying torecreate the feeling of looking into Mariaseyes and seeing a woman so grateful thatshe got down on her knees in front of meto thank me, with tears in her eyes, her lifebrand new.

She had no hope of changing her future.She had given up, but with this key, fromsome awesome and generous Canadians,she will not have to stay awake during rainynights and she will have solar light to bright-en her evenings.

Tyler-Thompson credits Ruth Moody, aSurrey woman widowed two years ago andlooking for a new adventure, for playing apivotal role in the enterprise, by paying air-fare and hotel expenses, and accompanyingher to Uganda.

In the works is a documentary film aboutthe trip, images of which are online at www.ugandaextremehomemakeover.com.

Rush race Saturday for SurreyitesSurreys Vanessa To and Stu Chan are join-

ing The Rush to fight lung disease and dirtyair.

On Saturday (June 5), the TeamAWESOME teammates will be taking part inthe BC Lung Associations newest fundraisingevent: The Rush: Race & Urban ScavengerHunt.

To and Chan will be scouring the city ofVancouver, uncovering clues and completingso-called Checkpoint Challenges in a race tobe the first team to cross the finish line for thechance to win the grand prize of a trip for twoaround the world.

As we are getting older we realized that weneeded not only to take more responsibility forour health but also become more active withinour community, said To. Taking part in TheRush gives us the chance to do both.

The Rush organizers have space for 250teams and are expecting to come close to cap-acity in the events inaugural year.

Think of it like an intense, one-day version

of TVs Amazing Race, said event co-ordin-ator Marissa McFadyen. Participants will beasked to do and try things theyve likely neverdone before. Teams of two must sign up andcommit to raising a minimum of $200 in dona-tions on or before June 5. Details are online atwww.rushvancouver.ca, or call 604-731-5864.

ENV IRONMENTAL EXTRAVAGANZA6( 9A5>"$>

What do you want tobe when you grow up?

Its a question I askmy children every oncein awhile, to gaugewhere their interests lie.

I am a dreamer atheart and believe thatanything is possible. Itsalso something I havetried to instill in my children.

Thats why it was so difficult the otherday when I brought up the question overthe dinner table.

My seven-year old son beamed widelyand instantly replied, A policeman.

Mmm, I nodded and smiled. Hisinterest in catching bad guys and thethrill of the chase from watching SuperHeroes seemed to have had an affect onhim.

My daughter then leaned over the tableand whispered in my ear that she knewexactly what she wanted to be.

What? I asked excitedly. Would shechoose a doctor or a veterinarian? Or pos-sibly a teacher or I admit, I could hardlywait.

She took my hand and looked at meseriously and said, a princess.

A what? my son and I asked in uni-son.

A princess! she repeated, waiting formy approval.

You know a princess isnt a realthing, my son said, scolding her. Youcant be a princess.

She immediately looked deflated. Yes

I can! she said emphatically, her little lipbeginning to quiver.

My son looked at me and rolled hiseyes.

I must admit, I was speechless.I didnt want to tell her she couldnt

do something, when all along I had beensaying she could aspire to anything she sether sights on.

Thats great, honey, I said as I leanedover to hug her. What does a princess doexactly? I asked with interest.

Well, she began, excited to share herdream, they cook and clean, and theylook after the palace.

What? my son asked again. This time,I shook my head at him, and he resignedhimself to silence with a groan.

They also take care of their kids andprotect them, she said proudly. A prin-cess can do anything!

She nodded and resumed eating, hum-ming to herself.

Later, after I cleared the dishes andwaited to usher the kids up to bed, it hitme. Im a princess. Well, not really butthats how she sees me in her world. Andthat night, as I tucked in my lord andlady, I felt more purposeful in the world because I saw my life reflected in mydaughters dream.

Massive weatheredramparts still encircleAvignon. Fondly nick-named the Paris of southern France,dynamic summer drama, music and dancefestivals maintain her claim to fame asa city of high European culture. Yet, thelegacies of popes and angels excite historybuffs like my husband and me.

Leaving Place de lHorloge in the heartof old town, we admire city halls medi-eval clock tower and ornate opera housebefore continuing into the huge nearbysquare. Here, Cathdrale Notre-Dame-des-Doms golden Virgin Mary soarsabove elaborate angelic marble statu-ary; interior artworks include Pope JohnXXIIs carved mausoleum, a 14th centurymasterpiece. Europes largest gothic palaceawaits us next door.

Entering the Palais des Papes throughmighty portals, we wind through hallwayswith vaulted ceilings, huge treasury roomsand an immense kitchen tower. Illustratedexhibits explain how Avignon became theinfluential capital of Christianity between1309 and 1377. Then, this vast fortifiedpalace protected and pampered seven con-secutive popes until the papacy officiallyreturned to Rome.

A maze of rooms reflects sumptuousliving. Original enameled tiles floor themeditation alcove. Lively frescoes of hunt-ing scenes surround a popes bedchamber,and compelling paintings of Christ remainin a small chapel. From dining hall win-dows, we picture once-extensive vege-table gardens and papal menagerie fillingarched courtyards below. Sweeping viewsfrom the ramparts include Le Petit Palais,a restored archbishops palace acrossthe square featuring superb RenaissanceItalian art.

Threading our way down cobbledstreets to other shaded plazas, we discovervenerable cathedrals displaying furtherresplendent artistry and refurbishedmansions serving as fine art museums.Lingering in open-air bistros, we samplebuttery croissants, thick with local chees-es, and sip pungent latts while contem-plating the extravagances of those bygonedays.

Avignons most celebrated monument

spans the mighty Rhone River. First intro-duced to St. Benezets Bridge (aka PontdAvignon) when my high school Frenchclass belted out Sur le Pont dAvignonat graduation, I later taught this popularchildrens song to my own French classes,without ever considering its momentoushistory, as we all merrily sang, Sur le pontdAvignon, lon y danse, lon y danse!

Humming that same lilting melody,we circle round and round, dancing onthe fabled bridge. And with audio guidespressed against our ears, we become fullyacquainted with this UNESCO-listed icon.

Just then, the audio-voice notes, Toonarrow for group dancing, its unlikelythat people actually danced upon thisstructure but folk dancing was popularin gardens on Ile de la Barthelasse below,an island dividing the Rhone into twowide channels. Originally the song saidSous le pont, under, not sur le pont, onthe bridge

Whirling onward undeterred, we gazeout on Avignon from the very spot whereKing Louis XIV gushed, Its the mostbeautiful place in all my kingdom, fullyappreciating his passion for this city.

We pause at the two-storey chapelprecariously perched on this first of foursurviving arches. Above, tiny 13th-centuryChapelle Saint Nicholas, devoted patronsaint of Rhone bargemen; below, 12th-century Chapelle Saint Benezet, honour-ing the shepherd-saint inspired by holyvoices to build le pont at Avignon.

According to legend, heavenly angelsguided the young shepherd to Avignon.Though his proposal first provoked ridi-cule, he convinced wealthy supporters ofthe divine will by lifting a huge boulderand heaving it down at the designated site.Sadly, Benezet never witnessed this mir-aculous projects completion in 1185.

Originally 947 metres long and fourmetres wide with 22 wooden arches, this

strategically placed bridge attracted travel-lers and merchants from far and wide dur-ing the Middle Ages. Being the sole bridgebetween Lyon and the Mediterranean,both Avignon and the church prosperedgreatly from heavy tolls and taxes on mer-chandise.

Reaching the furthest span, we surveyVilleneuve-les-Avignon on the oppositeriverbank, at one time a glittering sister-city of cardinals. This charming medievalvillage boasts marvelous 14th-centurystructures of its own.

At mid-span, the narrator intones,Constant repairs became extremelycostly. The Order of Pontiff Brothersfounded by Benezet maintained, restoredand rebuilt the bridge continuously overits lifetime. Despite frequent replacements,rickety wooden sections became perilous.Reconstructed in stone during the 13thcentury, even those arches collapsed and,by the 17th century, most had washedcompletely away. Permanently destroyedby 1668s catastrophic floods, no fur-ther repairs were made. Now tamed byupstream hydroelectric dams, its difficultvisualizing the raging waters that regularlywrecked the bridge.

Climbing steep steps to Rocher-de-Domgardens above the Popes Palace, we laterreview Avignons past glory while watch-ing visitors stream along the angel-inspiredbridge, like in bygone days.

How many recipeshave you seen that listwater as an ingredient?For example, a pastasauce recipe may say toadd a cup of water. Howmuch flavour does waterhave? None.

I am always preachingto be innovative whilecooking and add ingredients other thanwater, such as wine, broth, beer, juice, etc.,because they have more flavour. Althoughmost can, some recipes cannot adapt tothis type of modification. It will usuallydepend on the amount of seasonings/fla-vour already in the dish.

The first thing to examine is the amountof water the recipe suggests. If the amountis of minuscule proportion, then typ-ically replacing the water shouldnt be aconcern. The choice of distinctive liquidwould accent the existing flavours withoutrisk of overpowering of the dish.

If the recipe calls for a large quantity ofwater, then one must examine what theother ingredients are, and how much fla-vour they will impart on their own. This isnot as complicated as it may sound.

The most effective way to determineif a recipe can accept any variation is tomake it the way it is written first, andthen listen to your taste buds. Could it usemore flavour? If so, what would comple-ment it and how pungent/mellow can theliquid be? Maybe just replacing a portionof the water would be the solution, orleaving the recipe in its original state isjust fine. Make notes in your cookbooksfor future reference.

Rice cooked in chicken stock, forexample, has more flavour than if cookedin only water. I know that may seem quiteobvious, so let me give you some ideaswith the following liquids:

Red wine or dark beer are great additionsto red meat and tomato dishes, such as pasta
