SURREY – Why are municipal committees, boards and commissions created? The City of Surrey’s website says they are groups of appointed and/or volunteer members of the community, special interest group representatives, experts and members of council. The website goes on to say that groups meet regularly and utilize their expertise to keep council informed and to improve the quality of life for residents. A shift in the structure of these groups has some concerned. In some Surrey committees the chairperson used to be selected from within the group, such as the Agricultural Advisory Committee and the Environmental Advisory Committee. City staff confirmed that councillors will be serving as chairs in all instances in 2012 and say it isn’t particularly unusual, pointing to Delta, which they say does the same. Bob Campbell, a member of the Environmental Advisory Committee (EAC), said he isn’t sure why this change was made. “For me, the issue would be that it’s hard to understand. It would be interesting to find out what they think is broken because I know many
Bob Bose
of the chairs of the committees now and they’re doing an excellent job,” Campbell said. “I think the second point is that those chairs are generally subject matter experts so why you would take people who are subject matter experts, selected by their peers, and replace them with a councillor who may or may not be a subject matter expert and have them control things is difficult to understand.”
It would be interesting to find out what they think is broken. In the case of the EAC, the 2011 chair, Al Schulze, who has a PhD in linguistics and a lifelong interest in environmentalism, has been replaced with newly elected Coun. Bruce Hayne, a managing partner in a communications company. In 2011, long-time councillor and former Surrey mayor Bob Bose, who had a passion for environmental issues, was the council representative on the EAC. see CITY COUNCIL’S › page 3

Christmas
Nice sweater!
Worst. Gift. Ever.
Cam Gillett, manager of branch operations for Community Savings Credit Union, poses with his ugly sweater. On Dec. 2, 9 and 16, staff at each branch wore ugly holiday sweaters to raise money for the Lower Mainland Purpose Society, which provides services for disadvantaged families. The credit union invited people to vote for their favourite ugly sweater at www. wowthatisugly.com and donated $1 for each vote. The credit union reached its goal of $1,000.

With just three more sleeps until Christmas, the Now’s Amy Reid asks local politicians about their fond – and not so fond – Christmas memories SURREY MAYOR DIANNE WATTS Worst Christmas present: “One of the worst presents I ever had was this clock. It was a cat clock, it’s eyes would move, it was really annoying.” We assume the “was” in that statement means it got “accidentally” thrown out. Best Christmas present: “My daughter was born 18 years ago at the end of October. I was in the hospital for a while after that. Having a brand new baby close to Christmas, for me, that was the best gift.” Favourite Christmas movie: It’s a Wonderful Life Favourite Christmas song: “Little Drummer Boy” SURREY COUN. BARINDER RASODE Worst Christmas present: “I grew up in a small family, so it was sort of limited in gifts. I guess the worst would be when you’re growing up and you get ugly clothes and your mom makes you wear them. You weren’t allowed to be fashionistas in those days.” Best Christmas present: “For me it’s always jewelry.” Favourite Christmas movie: The Grinch by Dr. Seuss Favourite Christmas song: “My daughter loves Justin Bieber. So the song ‘Mistletoe,’ I have to listen to it all the time.” SURREY COUN. BRUCE HAYNE Worst Christmas present: “My grandmother, who lives in Scotland, would knit us stuff when I was a kid. But she would knit stuff remembering what we look like from a year or two years before when we visited. So you got these mittens or whatever that were tiny and wouldn’t fit. At the time it was the worst, but looking back, it was just done with absolute love.” Best Christmas present: “I think the best present I ever got was the key to my fianceé’s apartment in my stocking. That was 24 years ago.”
Favourite Christmas movie: Christmas Vacation with Chevy Chase Favourite Christmas song: “So This is Christmas,” John Lennon
SURREY COUN. LINDA HEPNER Worst Christmas present: “What I don’t like to get is money. I would rather have someone say wash my car or do something than give me cash.” Best Christmas present: “I’m looking at it on my tree right now. It’s an angel that my son made that he sewed for me when he was a little boy. It says, ‘To Mom’ on the bottom in stitches but the words cover the toes, so it actually says ‘Tom Mom.’ But I love it.” Favourite Christmas movie: Miracle on 34th Street Favourite Christmas song: “Joy to the World” and “Hark the Herald Angels Sing.” “Anything that reminds me that it’s Jesus’s birthday, and reminds me that Christmas is more than just Santa Claus.” SURREY COUN. JUDY VILLENEUVE Worst Christmas present: “That’s hard to say. To me, every present is a good present because it’s given with love.” Best Christmas present: “This Christmas I get to celebrate Christmas with my grandchildren. One of them will be four months old on Christmas. The other is three and a half. That’s the best Christmas present.” Favourite Christmas movie: It’s a Wonderful Life Favourite Christmas song: “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” WHITE ROCK MAYOR WAYNE BALDWIN Worst Christmas present: “The worst was when I got no present from my kids. It wasn’t that bad, but I cried a little inside.” Best Christmas present: “In 2006, we had a
family Christmas vacation and that was really great.” Favourite Christmas movie: A Christmas Carol Favourite Christmas song: “Silent Night”
WHITE ROCK COUN. LARRY ROBINSON Worst Christmas present: “A really ugly sweater. It didn’t fit and it was disgusting. It was so ugly that my wife loved it, and now she wears it. It was lime green and black.” Best Christmas present: “The best present, I know, is this year. I’m getting a ski helmet.” Did he go snooping? “No, I had to try it on to make sure it fit.” Favourite Christmas movie: A Christmas Carol. “And anything Chevy Chase is funny.” Favourite Christmas song: “White Christmas” WHITE ROCK COUN. GRANT MEYER Worst Christmas present: “Everyone gets socks or something when you’re a kid. You’re just kind of like, ‘Oh boy.’” Best Christmas present: “I guess the best would be a bicycle when I was a little kid. I really wanted a bike.” Favourite Christmas movie: Elf or A Christmas Story Favourite Christmas song: “Sleigh Ride” DELTA MAYOR LOIS JACKSON Worst Christmas present: “A frying pan that my husband bought many years ago. I think he was trying to tell me something!” Best Christmas present: “My best Christmas present was a beautiful white angora collar that my sister knit for me when we were in high school, many years ago. I loved that collar and wore it for many years.” Favourite Christmas movie: A Christmas Carol Favourite Christmas song: “Silent Night”
Surrey
City council’s committee move deemed ‘disrespectful’ ‹ from page 1
Campbell said, given Surrey city council’s majority, these committees are even more important than they may have been in the past. “Because they have a majority, I think it’s imperative that they fully utilize all the external input they can get and committees of council, I think, are one of those. They have an even larger obligation now to encourage committees of council to get that external input,” Campbell said. “I would personally say the Environmental Advisory Committee, which is of course the one I’m most familiar with, has done an excellent job of raising issues.” Ousted councillor Bose said the move the city has made is a really bad idea. Bose said he “flat out refused” to chair the EAC in the past because he was worried that it would hurt the process. “I think it’s disrespectful. I don’t know what kind of message council is trying to send here, but I don’t think it’s a good message. “Let the differences of opinion work themselves through the political process, but don’t destroy the ability of the group to pursue issues,” he said. Bose said the EAC is a very strong committee and has gone head-tohead with council on many issues, pointing to the city’s pesticide bylaw as an example. “Through persistence, we now have a cosmetic pesticide bylaw, but there were lots of times when council were waffling all over the place on that issue. They were getting advice that they didn’t necessarily want to hear,” Bose said. He said the issues raised by the EAC haven’t always been well received by council. “Tough, as far as I’m concerned, just tough,” Bose said. “If you’re not prepared to hear what other people are saying, you may not agree, but as Jefferson said, I don’t have to agree but I’ll fight to the death for your right to voice your opinions.” Bose added that “creative conflict” is crucial to the democratic process.

Council looks at parking task force
WHITE ROCK – A call by the White Rock Business Improvement Association to establish a task force to deal with pay parking woes on Marine Drive has been put on hold by council. White Rock BIA executive director Sherri Wilson Morissette made her pitch to council on Monday night. The BIA wants council to eliminate pay parking on the beach in the winter and slash rates during other slow months of the year. The BIA is proposing free parking on Marine Drive from Oct. 1 to Jan. 31, $1 per hour parking from Feb. 1 to April 30 and $3 parking per hour parking only during the peak summer season from May 1 to Sept. 30. Morissette told council some merchants on the waterfront struggle to survive over the winter months and forcing their customers to plug meters
Larry Robinson
Alan Campbell
makes staying in business even tougher. To compensate for the loss of revenue, the BIA has come up with alternate ways of making up the cash, such as through the sale of non-resident parking decals and advertising on the back of ticket receipts. Even so, the BIA’s proposals might be a tough sell – pay parking from all meters in the city generates $2.7 million in revenue for White Rock, according to city treasurer Sandra Kurylo. Coun. Larry Robinson wondered whether the problem was the public’s annoyance at plugging loonies into the parking meters, or whether overly zealous bylaw officers slapping $35tickets on windshields were to blame.
“Perhaps instead of looking at getting rid of pay parking, maybe we should look at a different way of enforcing it in the winter in which there’s some latitude,” he said. Robinson suggested a grace period of an hour or longer, after the meter runs out of time. Coun. Alan Campbell noted some of the money generated through pay parking pays for upkeep of the promenade and other amenities and cautioned that any shortfall in city coffers might force a tax hike. In the end, council directed staff to come back with a report on the feasibility of establishing a parking task force. After the meeting, Morissette offered mixed reviews to council’s reaction to her proposal. She was pleased council was going to consider establishing a parking task force but feared that some of the councillors missed the finer points of her presentation. “We wanted to find solutions to fill the difference between the revenue, we didn’t want to take the revenue away from them,” she said.

Transplant recipients say thanks Operation Popcorn gives patients a chance to show appreciation Matt Law
Now contributor
SURREY – Transplant recipients gathered at Surrey Memorial Hospital on Wednesday afternoon to show their appreciation for the work of hospital staff. The event was part of the annual Operation Popcorn, which began more than 20 years ago and offers transplant recipients and their families a chance to thank doctors, nurses, lab specialists and staff who have played a role in saving 268 lives across B.C. so far this year. “It’s an opportunity for people who have been directly impacted by organ donation, namely recipients and their family members, to give back and say a special thank-you to all the caregivers who provided the excellent pre- and post-care,” said Tracy Tang, a member of public affairs with B.C. Transplant.

(Photo: KEVIN HILL) Thankful recipients handed out tins of decorated popcorn to donor hospitals across the province as part of the special occasion.
“It is excellent to thank all the staff that do so much,” said Terry Gill, who received a liver transplant in July.
“After having that operation, it gives you a new perspective on life and you realize how much they do, so it is excellent to come back and thank them.” Operation Popcorn also has special meaning for the hospital staff being thanked. The people who work in health care are there because they want to help people, said Tang. “It’s really heart-warming when someone says ‘you helped play a role in saving my life,’ or ‘I’m alive today in part because of what you did,’” she said. According to B.C. transplant, just 17 per cent of British Columbians are registered donors. Becoming a donor no longer involves putting a sticker on the back of a driver’s licence. Now, doners must register online through the B.C. Transplant website. Tang encourages everyone to find out about organ donations and to look into becoming a donor. “It really is the gift of life,” she said.

NEWS White Rock
Peggy Clark resigns as White Rock city manager after six years Now staff twitter@marisababic
WHITE ROCK – White Rock city manager Peggy Clark is calling it quits. Mayor Wayne Baldwin said Wednesday Clark tendered her resignation to council on Tuesday night. Baldwin said Clark met with members of council and informed them that she’s leaving her job of six years because she wants to retire.
“She thought this was the opportune time to do it,” Baldwin said, adding that council is currently on its customary Christmas break when city business slows down. “She thought it was a good time as any to do it so she decided to pull the pin.” Baldwin said Clark is leaving on friendly terms, and rejected any suggestion that she might be leaving because of her inability to work with him and the newly elected council. Baldwin refused to disclose the terms
of Clark’s severance package, which is contained in her contract with the city. Sandra Kurylo, director of financial services, will serve as acting city manager until a replacement for Clark is found, the mayor said. Baldwin said there’s enough talent in the senior management ranks to keep the city’s business running smoothly until a new city manger is hired, and also added “Peggy left us in good shape.” He said the city plans to engage a
recruiting firm in January to look for a new city manager. He expects the new city manager to be on the job by April or May. In a press release issued by the city, Clark said “this is a good time to make a change, with a new council and mayor taking up their duties this month. I want the new council to be able to move forward with a new CAO on board to implement council’s vision for White Rock.”

The seventh annual FortisBC Warm Hearts Toy Drive has made Christmas better for women and children in five transition homes this year. Employees of FortisBC in Surrey, Vancouver and Burnaby spent two weeks collecting donated toys and gifts for families who are escaping domestic violence. “Every year, the contributions made by our employees continue to have an impact
in their communities throughout the province and the toy drive is one of the key initiatives that they embrace,” said Amy Hennessy, chair of FortisBC Warm Hearts Charitable Foundation. Among the five transition homes to benefit from this generosity are Virginia Sam and Evergreen in Surrey.

Dear Leader’s actual deeds are nothing to laugh about ViewFrom TheCheap Seats Michael Booth
I
t’s been a rough year for the world’s rapidly shrinking dictator community. The “Arab Spring” swept long-standing tyrants in Tunisia and Egypt from power and sparked a civil war in Libya that ended with the long overdue demise of all-star military crackpot Muammar Gaddafi. And now word emerged this week that the only man capable of holding his own against Gaddafi in a Zoolander-style walk off for unbalanced megalomaniacs, North Korea’s little ball of hate Kim Jong-il, is also no longer wasting this planet’s supply of oxygen. The nutty little dude in the tailored canvas suits, platform shoes and oversized sunglasses followed in his father’s footsteps by steadfastly remaining out of step with the rest of the human race. As Soviet-era communism disappeared and even longtime ally China adopted radical economic reforms,
North Korea under the Kim clan has stubbornly stayed true to itself and, in the process, managed to achieve a miracle by becoming the first stone age economy to produce nuclear weapons. The demise of the son of Kim was predictably greeted by caution among the international community and outright derision by media outlets who quickly drummed up all the wacky accomplishments of the erstwhile star of Team America, World Police. Yup, Kim Jong-il clearly had the best comedy writers in North Korea at his disposal to create official press releases. Among the highlights of Dear Leader’s life were: • Drawing his first breath in 1942, the heavens responded in admiration with bolts of lightning, a double rainbow and a bright star in the sky. • Shooting a score of 38 over 72 holes on a championship golf course, including an astounding 11 holes-in-one. And he did it the first and only time he picked up a golf club. • Attributing a loss by the North Korean soccer team at the 2011 Women’s World Cup to the fact the team was collectively struck by
lighting a month prior to the tournament. • Spending more than $800,000 annually on Hennessey cognac. • Piloting jet fighters despite being so afraid of flying that he insisted on travelling by train when on diplomatic missions to Russia and China. • Writing six full-length operas in a 24-month span. This was quite the accomplishment since he also penned more than 1,500 books. Pretty funny stuff. But like a shell game, while the world was distracted by the ever more outrageous sycophantic claims of the North Korean propaganda, the real action was happening out of sight. More than two million people died of famine under
Kim’s reign in the late 20th century and he is reportedly responsible for bombings that killed South Korean officials in Myanmar and brought down a Korean Airlines jet. On top of that his impoverished country has one of the largest standing armies in the world and is known to possess crude nuclear weapons. Still laughing? I’m not overly superstitious – except about mentioning shutouts during a hockey game and leaving hats on beds – but there is a lot of ominous stuff happening around the world right now and more instability in North Korea isn’t a positive development. The European community’s collective economic health is swirling
around the bowl, the North American economies remain stagnant, China is kicking the crap out of the environment one cheap consumer product at a time and Japan has a couple of leaky nuclear reactors to deal with. The Middle East is as unsettled as ever with police beating civilians in Egypt, an uprising bubbling away in Syria and a true James Bond-esque super villain in charge in Iran with his heart
set on building and using nuclear weapons. It must be just a coincidence that we’re less than one year away from a certain date that’s been circled on the Mayan calendars for five or six centuries. You know the day I mean, the last one… Oh, yeah, Merry Christmas everyone. Michael Booth can be reached at mbooth@ thenownewspaper.com

Focus on enjoying a stress-free Christmas
T
his is it! This is the big weekend most of us have been looking forward to for the whole year. For most of us, there will be family members to visit, a big meal to be prepared and expectations to be met. I learned from years of entertaining that it’s not the amount of food that makes a great party, it’s the experience had by the guests. That experience is great when we, the hosts, guide the evening. (Here’s a tip regarding relatives who you have been trying to please, but just can’t seem to: don’t bother with them. They will never be happy no matter what you do.) Let’s start with food. Don’t go crazy cooking such a variety that you don’t have the time to enjoy hanging out with your guests. I am not a believer in potlucks, not for a family meal. Sure, let the guest bring a dessert, if they insist. I also don’t fancy cooking a dish and taking it somewhere else for eating. It feels like I’m still doing the cooking. Don’t get me wrong, potlucks are a great idea for get-togethers, I just don’t think they are suitable for family dinners like Christmas or Diwali. Plan the meal and keep it simple: four types of starters, some mixed

The Editor, Re: “Nobody kicks off Christmas like Surrey,” the Now, Dec. 6. The Cloverdale business community would like to thank all of the visitors, including Mayor Dianne Watts, who came to welcome Santa during his visit in the 6th Annual Surrey’s Santa Parade of Lights held in downtown Cloverdale on Sunday, Dec. 4. There are two different groups organizing Santa Parades in Surrey and the larger of the two takes place in Cloverdale, which had crowd estimates of 22,000 and higher who filled sidewalks on a perfect evening in historic downtown Cloverdale. Surrey’s Santa Parade of Lights has a wide variety of entries, which included lighted trucks (many from Vancouver Island, Surrey and the Fraser Valley), horses, floats, marching units and antique cars/trucks/buses. Both Surrey Santa Parades support the Surrey Food Bank and Surrey Christmas Bureau and I think both parades should be acknowledged for their outstanding efforts! Paul Orazietti, Cloverdale
Stop complaining about silly Christmas greetings The Editor, I am tired of nitpickers complaining about people using the greeting “Happy Holidays” rather than “Merry Christmas.” It has nothing to do with disrespecting one’s religion. Most people say “Happy Holidays” because it covers the entire holiday season. There is no conspiracy against Christmas. Comparing Christmas to other ethnic holidays is ridiculous – Christmas will always remain the biggest day of the year in North America. Look around, read your flyers, turn the TV on, listen to the radio – and if you’re still not satisfied then visit the local mall. Everywhere you look you’ll see Christmas trees and lights – the whole city is transformed into a gorgeous display. So stop complaining that Christmas does not get enough acknowledgement. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone! Monisha Jassi, Surrey

nuts and chips, the turkey and a few simple sides, many which are easy to prepare just before dinnertime. Many people are trying to eat healthy these days, so keep the appetizers low on calories. I hear a loud groan from those looking forward to the greasy food. I know, I know, I too have been there, what’s a party without something deep fried. There is a variety of light and healthy finger food that’s easy to prepare a day ahead. Just Google and thou shalt find. One of the reasons most of us gain weight during the holidays is because we focus too much on the food. I found a way we can distract ourselves from the food table: play a game. There are many fun games that can be played with minimal preparation in learning the rules. From Trivial Pursuit to Cranium, these games are not only fun, but are also educational. Break into teams, girls against boys, or teens against the adults and let the fun begin. I tried this with my family and for the first time the adults actually hung out with the teens and had a fun night that all were eager to repeat. So while the turkey is cooking, play a few games with the family instead of staying in the kitchen all night. Remember cleanup after dinner is a snap if everyone pitches in. The big night can be fun and stress-free if we let go of trying to please the difficult ones and instead focus on enjoying the evening. Bon appétit for the holidays!

NEWS Briefly
Surrey man cuts himself after argument SURREY – A man was sent to hospital Tuesday night after cutting himself during a family argument. The incident took place around 8 p.m. near the intersection at 144th Street and 88th Avenue. Surrey RCMP say two brothers were having an alcohol-fueled argument while driving that resulted in one cutting his own arm. The injured man was taken to hospital and later apprehended under the Mental Health Act. This incident comes after three people were treated for injuries on Saturday following two separate stabbings in Surrey. A fourth victim remains in hospital in critical condition. Investigations in to the three incidents are ongoing.

Riot charges for four more from Surrey SURREY – The Vancouver police recommended an additional 52 charges to the Crown Monday against 20 more suspected rioters. Four of the 20 suspected rioters from this round of charges are from Surrey, bringing the total number of suspected Surrey rioters up to 14. Only one alleged rioter is from Delta. A 17-year-old Surrey girl is alleged to have punched a police officer in the face and while being taken into custody, spat at a member and kicked him in his leg. The girl allegedly proceeded to bite another office in the arm when they came to assist the first officer, breaking skin. The accused is known to police but has no criminal record. A 19-year-old man from Surrey is alleged to have been part of a mob that turned against a Good Samaritan. From the second round of recommended charges, 16 of the accused are men and four are women.

Shell Busey homes in on retirement In good health again, the home-improvement icon and Cloverdale resident, 69, still hammers home advice on a weekly radio show — but not for long Tom Zillich

Shell Busey in the garage of his Cloverdale home. “I just know where to go and who to call on, that’s all,” Busey says of his homeimprovement knowledge, which he shares as part of his HomeSmart enterprises, based in South Surrey. (Photo: KEVIN HILL) and the Corus radio network, mostly because he’d had enough of weekendmorning duties on the radio. Not only that, he wanted to spend more time with his family, including young grandsons Dawson and Preston, whose bedrooms remain sleepover-ready in Cloverdale. By October, Busey was back on the radio, this time Mondays on AM650 as host of Canada’s first weekday drive-time home improvement show. “It’s an hour long,” he says of the show, which starts at 6 p.m. “That’s not very long. “I mean, I could go three hours on air, no problem.” The radio gig on AM650 will be shortlived, however. Busey’s last show on the radio
station will be Jan. 4, he told the Now last week. Essentially, he’s retiring from the radio business to focus on Homesmart.“It just wasn’t working for me,” he said of his time on AM650.
D
uring his 25 years with CKNW, Busey was doing both Saturday and Sunday mornings for a time, sometimes driving to Vancouver at 3 a.m. — requiring a no-fun 7 p.m. bedtime the night before. “It just got to the point of being too much for me on weekends,” he explained.“It ate up so much time. I went from one day to the other, and back and forth, doing the mornings in Vancouver and all the way to Winnipeg (on the Corus network of radio stations). And I’d
never leave somebody hanging on the line. After the show would end, we’d have people lined up on the phone — sometimes 10 or 15 callers still on the line — and I’d deal with each and every one of them before I went home. It’s just the way it was.” Last year, a cancer diagnosis forced Busey to have his prostate removed. “I’m clean,” he said, happily. This year, his doctor convinced Busey to have his heart fixed during a surgery that required plenty of rest for 12 weeks. “I was born with a weak valve in my heart,” Busey said, “so they went in and repaired the valve. I’m a fast healer. Here I am, back at it.” see › page 17

hat familiar booming voice fills the Cloverdale townhouse Shell Busey calls home. “People ask why I wanted stairs in here,” Busey says during an informal tour of the nice, two-level pad. “Well, I am nearing retirement, and I need the exercise!” Busey, who turned 69 on Nov. 25, moved into the all-mod-cons home two years ago with Frankie, his wife of 46 years. The large windows of their farmhouse-style kitchen overlook Cloverdale Athletic Park. “We love it here,” Busey says without a hint of overstatement. “I have a 15-acre backyard!” They moved there from a 3,200-squarefoot rancher in the Ocean Park area of South Surrey. Of course, he knew how to fix up the new place, which Busey and his wife bought from their youngest daughter, Monica, and her husband, Jim. “I just know where to go and who to call on, that’s all,” Busey said of his homeimprovement knowledge, which he shares as part of his HomeSmart enterprises. “It’s like I always say — it’s the how to, the what to, the why to, the when to and the who to,” he said with blazing speed. “And the ‘who to’ is my home referral service, 200 tradespeople.” Yes, folks, it’s just that easy.

Now contributor twitter@adkveton
There are three things one learns with a backstage pass to the Royal Canadian Theatre Company’s pantomime production of Sword in the Stone. First, high-heels are indeed an integral part of a warrior’s outfit. Also, being evil means you get pyrotechnics with every on-stage appearance, and by no means should children ever be part of the act — especially the cute ones. Just beyond the curtains at Surrey Arts Centre lies a magical world of costumes, giant dragon puppets and bits of castle on wheels that will crush you if not careful. Sword in the Stone has been on stage since Dec. 16 at the Bear Creek Park theatre, closing Dec. 31 with a 3 p.m. matinee. It takes the classic tale of swordsmanship, honour and courage, and adds blue-bearded “guh-nomes,” adorable child actors at every turn and several dance numbers. While the magic the show brings to the stage is out there for all to see, the Now wanted to witness the inner workings of the theatrical beast. Last Sunday afternoon (Dec. 18), Ellie
Cast members rehearse Sword in the Stone at Surrey Arts Centre (Photo: ADAM KVETON) King, the “Queen of Panto” herself, invited us back stage, for better or worse. Actors begin trickling in about two hours before the curtain rises, entering the labyrinthine halls that are the “backstage.” Bits of scenery on little rollers are moved into place, and pyrotechnic charges are set (by a professional, of course) in preparation for when the Demon King enters during the show. Behind and below the stage itself, the
actors (of all shape and size) gather in dressing rooms and the common area. Those with more elaborate makeup, like Morgana and the Demon King, begin applying greens and purples more than an hour before the show. Actors under four feet tall are subject to a less rigorous pre-show regimen. Remnants of yesterday’s potluck remain on the table in the common room, or

stuffed in the fridge. Those with time avail themselves freely. The show has 41 players in all, with three costume changes per performer, says King. This includes the pantomime dame, a man dressed as a woman who can make jokes at the expense of both sexes, and interact with the audience. That is one of the things that makes panto so engaging, says King. “For us particularly, we drop the fourth wall so many times, and our actors directly interact with the audience, and vice versa. You’ll have them speaking and answering each other. You never know where it’s going to come.” But for King, the greatest magic is theatre’s ability to bring people together as an audience. “They all become one organism that speaks and breaths together, and they speak with one voice, and they laugh with one voice, and they cry with one set of eyes. It’s kind of like slime mould!” For tickets and info about Sword in the Stone, call 604-501-5566 or visit www. rctheatreco.com.

Busey’s roots in the homeimprovement world date back to his youth in Owen Sound, Ontario. At 18, he got a job at the local Beaver Lumber outlet and never looked back. By the mid-1970s, he’d moved his family to B.C. and operated several building-supply and hardware stores in the Surrey/North Delta area. In 1983, programmers with the old CJOR radio station called on Windsor Plywood to bring forward a voice for a new homeimprovement show, and Busey was the logical choice to take a seat at the microphone. “We ran building supply stores, three of them at one point,” Busey recalled. “So the radio show was eating into my time I could spend at those stores, and Saturday is always the busiest day in that industry. So they put the radio station right in my store. I’d do the show, have a break, go help some customers and go back to the radio show. It was great for business, I tell you. It evolved from there, on CJOR.” By the late-1980s, Busey was enough
I’m still active, and what I do is really a hobby that costs me a lot of money. of a “name” that he was elected to Delta municipal council for two terms. “While living in the Royal York subdivision in North Delta, we did a TV program and we did all our shows there,” he said. “My neighbours thought I was the greatest guy because I’d come knocking on the door asking if they wanted new siding on their house, or some other new product we wanted to shoot for TV.”
T
hese days, he keeps busy at the HouseSmart office on King George Boulevard in South Surrey, home to the Busey-approved home services referral network and home-improvements crew. It’s a family affair; Frankie works there as
administrator, as does Monica. “She’s handy,” Busey said of his daughter, “and she plays a very significant role, takes the majority of calls that come in there. She also gets the emails, and she’ll link them out to our library, where we have thousands of answers to questions. But some of them aren’t in there, and they get sent to me — a hundred of those in a short period of time. I type with two fingers — was never taught that. So WaxMail allows me to answer emails by real voice — me speaking and the words come out on the email screen, and that’s how I answer emails. It’s great. I went from about five emails an hour, typing it out, now I can do 30 or 40. It’s very efficient, I love it.” Still, Busey is often asked about when he’s going to retire. “But retire from what?” he asked. “I’m still active, and what I do is really a hobby that costs me a lot of money, because I have staff to feed my hobby,” he added with a laugh. “You see, I have to have revenue coming in to feed that hobby!” tzillich@thenownewspaper.com

ARTS & LIFE 10 questions for Mark Donnelly
Much thinner singer sounds off prior to concert Is ‘O Canada’ the first anthem you sang publicly in a sports venue? “No — at least as far as I can remember. Although I was born and raised in Canada, the first sports anthem singing I did was with the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins, Pittsburgh’s AHL team, in 1999, their inaugural season. It wasn’t until a Canadian team came in — I believe it was the Hamilton Bulldogs — that I got to sing ‘O Canada’.”
At a Canucks game, were you nervous the first time you stopped singing our anthem and encouraged the crowd to sing instead?
“No. It was during the playoffs in 2003 (I think), against Detroit. Brian Keating, the Hockey Night in Canada associate director for that game, wanted me to do something special. We decided that holding the mic out would be the thing — but only if I thought the fans were really singing, otherwise we

would have dead air. I was pretty confident that they would respond, and they didn’t let us down.”
“We’re celebrating Christmas on Dec. 25 but doing the gift opening on Jan. 1. This gives everyone time after Christmas to do shopping. It’s rehearsals and what have you, before.”
What has your anthem-singing gig with the Canucks done for you, professionally?
“It has certainly made me more recognizable. The anthem has become very popular at corporate and private events. I never tire of singing it because I am very proud and grateful that I am Canadian. I sing with the Vancouver Opera also, but my first ‘gig,’ so to speak, is as a church musician. I direct the choirs at Holy Family Parish in Vancouver, where we sing primarily Gregorian Chant and 16th century polyphony — a cappella florid part songs. The music I do is quite diverse, but it’s all the same when it boils down to performance: You have to sing with intention of expression, otherwise you’re singing for yourself and not your audience. I tell my private voice students that technique is nothing without intention.”
Ever forgotten the words to an anthem while in the spotlight? “Twice. Once when I was singing for my son Sean’s bantam hockey game a few years ago. Everyone thought it was a gag

but it wasn’t. I was going to do the bilingual version and, just before I went out, we decided to do it all in English. Wouldn’t you know it, I forgot the English words where I would have sang the French! The second time was during ‘The Star Spangled Banner’ before a Canucks game against Dallas Stars. As I approached the end of the second line, I realized that I couldn’t remember the third line. I took the breath for the third line and still did not know what was going to come out. It literally came to me a micro-second before I had to sing it, so no one knew I had ‘forgotten’ the words. Any other times I must have put out of my mind.”

“When Catherine and I decided in 1999 to move back to Canada from Pennsylvania, we were first considering Calgary but a few things pointed back to the Lower Mainland. I really feel like I’m a West Coast boy, my mother still had a house in White Rock she was renting out, which the family and I could move into, and my mother, sister and brother-in-law lived in Ocean Park. My brother, Father Lawrence Donnelly, was reassigned to the Vancouver Archdiocese a couple of years later which brought us all back together. He is presently the pastor of St. Jude’s Parish in East Vancouver. That’s it, in a nutshell. I’m very glad things worked out the way they did. Unfortunately, my sister, Maureen, passed away last February. She was the glue that kept us all connected. We all have to work a little harder now that she is gone.” see › page 19

ARTS & LIFE 10 questions for Mark Donnelly Word is you’ve lost an impressive 100 pounds over the past year or so. How?
“It’s 130 pounds — but who’s counting. In the spring of 2010, I realized that if I wanted to be around for the younger kids, I needed to lose some weight. I was 370 pounds at the time. Diet was not working, so I decided to work out rigorously. I probably did it too vigorously, as I developed a heart flutter — arrhythmia — and still didn’t lose any weight over four months. In June 2010, my wife came home with a book from the library which promoted the HCG diet as ‘the diet secret they don’t want you to know about.’ After a few weeks of research and a rising blood-sugar level, I decided to get going with it. I started Aug. 2, 2010, and I lost 130 pounds in 14 months. There’s lots of information — and misinformation — on the internet about the diet. It would take a whole interview just to discuss my transformation through diet, which has been a miracle for me. People constantly ask me if I was worried about whether it would affect my voice, and I said I didn’t care. Being six feet under would definitely affect my voice!”
You’ve played hockey since age 12. Why — and what position?
“In Grade 4 I was assigned to do a social studies project on Massachusetts and became a Boston Bruins fan — needless to say, that affection has not survived. In
1972, we got a rink in North Delta and I started playing with the house-league Rangers. Hugh Trann was the coach. I was the goalie. I always liked trying to out-think the shooter. I played goal for the McGill University Faculty of Music team in the early 1990s. Right now, I play defense for the Icemen in the White Rock Senior Hockey League. As soon as I lose another 50 pounds or so, I’m going to strap the pads on again.”
What can ticketholders expect at your Dec. 29 concert in White Rock?
“There will be some Christmas music at the Coast Capital in White Rock, but there will also be folk songs, opera, Neapolitan songs and other things we haven’t decided upon yet. Some friends whom I’ve performed with over the years will be with me on stage. Some of the kids will be singing also. Although it will be all acoustic and a cappella, there will definitely be some surprises.”
What’s next for Mark Donnelly?
“That’s a bit of a secret. The current stuff will continue. However, there is going to be some career diversification in store for Mark Donnelly. People will have to check back in the new year for what, I think, are exciting developments.” Tickets are $39.50 for the Mark Donnelly & Friends concert Dec. 29 at White Rock’s Coast Capital Playhouse.

ARTS & LIFE Music
Prince funks it up for faithful, forced to wait for more TheBuzz Tom Zillich Arts & Life Editor
P
rince sure put on a funk clinic last Friday night at Rogers Arena, where the Bambi-eyed star entered in a storm of gold confetti and more smoke than the interior of Cheech and Chong’s lowrider. “This is real music by real people!” he boasted during a version of his own “Nothing Compares 2 U” — just one extended cut performed in funk-andsoul-freakout style by his nine-member New Power Generation band; on stage, with Prince in the equation, women outnumbered men two to one. They covered Sarah McLachlan’s “Angel,” gave Michael Jackson props with a reading of “Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough” and also riffed on songs by The Beatles, Sly & the Family Stone and Doobie Brothers. It was great to see Maceo Parker on sax, he of James Brown’s band fame — a perfect pairing, given Prince’s large debt to the Godfather of Soul. By concert’s “end,” the house lights came
on but many fans refused to leave the arena, prompting a return to the stage some 15 minutes later for a medley of hits. Patience paid off for those who clapped and screamed for more. Funny thing is, the lengthy and dramatic “Purple Rain” felt like the show-closer — just Prince two songs into the entire concert.
CURRENT SWELL ON DEC. 31
In case you missed it, Victoria’s Current Swell banked the $100,500 grand prize as winners of this year’s Peak Performance Project. With songs from a new album, Long Time Ago, the band is set to rock a New Year’s Eve party at the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver, a show that also features The Boom Booms and Mother Mother’s Ryan Guldemond. With that amount of cash in pocket, perhaps the members of Current Swell will buy some celebratory champagne — for everyone in the house. For gig info, click on www.currentswell.com/nye.
WINERY UNCORKS CONCERTS
The Boom Booms are also set to open the 2012 Canadian Concert Sereies at scenic Tinhorn Creek Vineyards in Oliver — a must-visit stop on the so-called “Golden Mile” of good wineries in that region. The East Van band’s May 26 gig opens the four-concert series, which also includes shows by Acres of Lions, Redeye Empire and Said the Whale. Just 500 tickets are available per show; for info, follow the links at www.store.tinhorn.com.
OTHER CONCERTS OF NOTE
If you’re looking to rock on Christmas Eve, look no further than the “Rockabilly Riot” date at the Commodore Ballroom on Saturday, Dec. 24 with ace guitarist Brian Setzer, of Stray Cats fame. The show is at 8 p.m. that evening. Other gigs of note at the Commodore include a two-stand stand for hair-metal clowns Steel Panther, Jan. 12-13 — both nights sold out. The band (Michael Starr, Satchel, Lexxi Foxx and Stix Zadinia) is back with Balls Out, a sophomore disc that’s slightly sophomoric but still blessed with hilarious (and occasionally cringeinducing) songs such as “Just Like Tiger
Woods,” “Gold Digging Whore,” “It Won’t Suck Itself ” and “17 Girls In A Row.” Elsewhere on the local concert scene, Coldplay gives Now editor Beau Simpson a big birthday gift April 20 by appearing at Rogers Arena, with another show (on April 21) put on sale soon after the first sold out last weekend. At Orpheum Theatre, Elvis Costello & The Imposters bring back their “Spinning Songbook” for a show April 10.
NOW THAT’S ‘STAYIN’ ALIVE’
A disco beat is good for the heart. Makers of a new “Heart Hero” app for mobile phones used the Bee Gees’ iconic “Stayin’ Alive” to keep people on the right beat while learning and practising CPR. Staff at Vancouver’s Genius Factor Games donated their time to develop the app for the B.C. branch of the Heart & Stroke Foundation. The Saturday Night Fever number was chosen because the rhythm provides just the right pace for performing CPR on an adult. The game portion of the app allows users to go through the motions of CPR on an unconscious adult. Details: hearthero.geniusfactorgames.com. tzillich@thenownewspaper.com twitter.com@tomzillich

Mr. Marples, Arts Club shows highlight busy 2011 ArtsScene Melanie Minty Columnist
C
hristmas cards have been arriving this past week. They have a “new” look, as many are electronically generated and animated. Some arrive by snail mail with beautifully designed art cards — and some have messages and letters inside. Love the letters. Family and friends take the time to let you know what has happened over the past year, and why they have been very busy. These chatty letters say, “Gosh, we should have kept in touch, but we were BUSY as you can see from this letter.” Yep. Got it. Busy schedules. Me too. So here is my Christmas letter to you all, and hope you understand from it that I just can’t make it to every show, performance or event. Sometimes there were even interviews and other artsy-newsy items that just didn’t make it into this space. I’ve been busy. This last year has had so many wonderful “presents” already. I was gifted with a great tap class and the Monday night classes
created once again a great circle of friends as well as physical recreation. Recitals and competitions kept us working hard. Well, we tried our best anyway. I was also lucky with a successful audition for a musical production. Those rehearsals, plus dance classes, running a business (dedicated to the performing arts, of course) and keeping this column going, did fill up my free time. In the end, it was great. At the time, I know I kept whining about not having a day off. I also met some wonderful people in the course of going to theatre events, working and writing. Brodie Marples is one of those people I was glad to meet. This young Earl Marriott Secondary grad has been making a big wave in the entertainment pool. He has been touring with the Young Americans, making films and now is about to launch a music career. He brought me flowers just because I wrote about him. Besides the flowers (I mean, that was really nice), Brodie has a message to get out to everyone, everywhere. “Believe in yourself,” is his message. You have to work hard, have the right attitude and take advantage of your opportunities. Why has he been so successful in such
a short time? “I insert myself,” he says with his great grin and charming manner. He is not waiting to be discovered, or let someone else create his image. Give it a go yourself — I think he is inspirational in enthusiasm. Hope I get a copy of his first CD. Besides meeting Brodie, I did see many wonderful shows. Tops on the list were Arts Club on Tour with the productions they brought to Surrey Arts Centre. I loved Patsy Cline and wished I had had the time to see Buddy Holly more than once. Royal City Musical Theatre Company’s production of Will Rogers Follies was brilliant. And inspirational. I love it when I can walk away from a theatre event and feel that I have taken something positive away with me. Maybe I just get inspired easily. After attending First Capital Chorus’ concert in aid of Langley Christmas Bureau last Friday, I felt like joining a choir or learning the ukulele. The concert included Langley Ukulele Ensemble — they are fantastic! Put it on your list for next year to go see them perform. Of course, they may be in Japan, Chicago, New York or some other important city. They are in demand.
Westcoast Harmony Chorus, a “Sweet Adelines” group, is one of many musical groups that I just didn’t get to see perform in 2011. I know they are terrific because they win lots of awards. Like many non-professional groups, this chorus is looking for new talent — and want to attract younger adults to the chorus. They are presenting a series of free workshops designed to perfect your singing skills. You don’t have to be a member of the chorus to sign up for these workshops. The workshops are Jan. 11 (breathing/basic barbershop sound), Jan. 18 (singing with resonance) and Jan. 25 (performance skills). Registration time for these workshops is 6:45 p.m. at Parkland Fellowship, 9574 160th St., at 96th Avenue. For more info, visit www.westcoastsings. com or email info@westcoastsings.com. They are real women having real fun making real music. So there is my Christmas letter. Next week will not be a look back at the year, but sort of a list of resolutions. Can’t promise I’ll make it to more events, but I will try. There are some good times coming. Keep posted. And thanks for the flowers.

ARTS & LIFE At the movies
Stay sharp for this fine Brit thriller ReelView Julie Crawford Columnist
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy Directed by Tomas Alfredson. Starring Gary Oldman, Colin Firth and John Hurt. My rating: 8 (out of 10)
I
t wasn’t so long ago that every villain you saw on screen spoke with a Russian accent, and the Cold War was a very real threat that hung like a pall over the West. John Le Carre plumbed the depths of these fears in his spy novels, most notably his 1974 classic, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. The successful novel and equally wellreceived television miniseries (starring Alec Guinness) is now a feature film that boasts some of the biggest names in Brit cinema. George Smiley (Gary Oldman) leaves the British Secret Service after a clandestine operation to sniff out a mole in the ranks goes horribly wrong. When it becomes clear that the informant is still at work in the upper echelons of MI6 — known as
“The Circus” — Smiley is forced out of retirement to stop the leak of sensitive information once and for all. He’s a brilliant inside man, in that the men consistently underestimate him: in his worn raincoat and retro specs, Smiley looks more like a doddering great-uncle than the smartest man in the room. The suspects are Percy Alleline, codenamed “Tinker” (Toby Jones), Bill Haydon aka “Tailor” (Colin Firth), Roy Bland or “Soldier” (Ciaran Hinds) and Toby Esterhase, “Poor Man” (David Dencik). Smiley assembles a team from the lower ranks to help him steal files and amass intel. The plot machinations are not for the daft, nor those who have had an eggnog or two before heading to the theatre: you need to stay sharp in order to play “Who’s the mole?” here. Director Tomas Alfredson (Let The Right One In) and director of photography Hoyte Van Hoytema do a brilliant job of saturating the film with a 1970s feel in dull tans and browns: you can practically smell the tweed and the Benson and Hedges. Certainly the smartest thriller of the year, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy already has fans overseas campaigning for a sequel.
Mini film reviews Shame
My rating: 7 (out of 10) It’s tricky to write a PG review of the very R-rated Shame, a film about a man trapped by the abuse of his past and the insatiable sexual appetite of his present. Brandon (Michael Fassbender) is a successful executive living in Manhattan, in a carefully constructed environment that lets him play out his desires. But his is a joyless existence. Director Steve McQueen (Hunger) has created a film that is a tad over-stylized and in need of more narrative to satisfy viewers, but it succeeds because of the raw, tormented performances by both Fassbender and Carey Mulligan, as Brandon’s sister. An expertly acted, depressing exposition of human fragility.
We Bought A Zoo
Colin Firth in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.
**NO PAYMENTS FOR 6 MTHS (OAC)
My rating: 5 (out of 10) The animals in Matt Damon’s We Bought A Zoo don’t talk back, thankfully, but there is enough farce contained in Cameron Crowe’s script to merit comparison to Kevin James’ crappy Zookeeper. Everywhere I thought there might be a surprise in this movie about loss and risk, there wasn’t. All Crowe needed was 20 minutes of edits to make this the touching film it was intended to be.

Protect Yourself Against Unpredictable Events No one can predict the unpleasant experience of having an accident, a burglary, or unfortunate incident causing loss or damage; however, you can be prepared for such events. Your best insurance is Surrey’s AMC Insurance Services. AMC is open 12 hours a day to be able to serve you at your convenience and specializes in home, commercial, auto, life, and health insurance, providing the best value that combines coverage, price, and service. AMC understands the confusion and stress felt when a loss occurs and will guide and assist you through the claim process. “Built on the foundation of trust, honesty, and integrity, we offer personal undivided attention, and treat every client with mutual respect and understanding,” says Jaswinder Singh Parmar, owner of the AMC group. “We are a multi-lingual company that listens carefully to our customer’s specific needs in order to develop insurance solutions to fit everyone’s individual requirements; if your circumstances demand it, we will negotiate a tailor-made policy for you.”
This philosophy has provided a foundation for long-term success and has enabled AMC to grow and excel in the insurance community. Since first acquiring AMC in 2003 with 62 policy holders, Parmar and his staff have managed to increase the client base to 30,000-plus in three locations (Surrey, Coquitlam, and Langley) with a fourth to open in Cloverdale in February, 2012. “Our strong referral base tells us we are doing things right,” reveals Parmar. “Positive word of mouth is a powerful endorsement. Because of this and our expertise, we are fortunate to insure many of the residential high-rises, hotels, and various commercial building start-ups in Surrey.
The AMC Advantage To meet the changing industry, which is evolving at an ever-increasing rate, every AMC team member is frequently upgrading their skills through continuing education and professional development to ensure they maintain the most up to date industry knowledge of products, services, and legislation. “When you bring your insurance needs to us, you will be dealing with skilled, highly

Further to these causes, AMC is actively involved in weekly food donations to The Great Helping Hand Organization whose mission is to provide food and shelter, for those who are less fortunate.

If you’re contemplating a New Year’s resolution to get back in shape, new classes starting soon can help keep you on track. Michelle Roots, owner of Core Condition, is offering two boot camps, called The Gauntlet, at Wachal’s Martial Arts Academy in Newton. The first option, from noon to 1 p.m., will focus on the core and abdominals, with cardio intervals. The evening class, from 6:15 to 7:15 p.m., is a full-body circuit training program. The classes run for six weeks, beginning on Jan. 9, and run two days a week each. What makes her classes a bit different, Roots said, is that she doesn’t have people do the same exercises over and over. “It’s all about keeping your body guessing,” she said, which also keeps it interesting. Her approach is high-intensity interval training, which is one of the best fitness approaches to burn fat and build strength. “It’s a social thing, too,” Roots noted. She had clients who met at a Burnaby version of her boot camp who struck up a friendship and now go to the gym together. Roots, who grew up in Surrey, has always been athletic. Her time playing basketball
at Kwantlen Polytechnic University paid off when she earned a scholarship to the University of Winnipeg, where she studied kinesiology, and active rehab in particular. Once she finished her studies, she came back to B.C. and started her own business. Aside from doing rehabilitation work with people who’ve been hurt in car accidents, Roots also works as a strength and conditioning coach for some local sports teams and trains people one-on-one. But, she said, she really enjoys the energy and dynamic of groups, particularly classes. “I thought, why don’t I just start my own boot camp?” she said. While she will push clients to work harder than they will on their own, she stressed her classes are adaptable to all fitness levels. She will show people easier forms of each exercise to suit their fitness level. The value in working with a trainer, Roots said, is “people can’t push themselves.” And yet, she said she makes it fun by constantly changing up the exercises and keeps the music cranked to keep people energized.

Karrasch living a dream playing for Canada Michael Booth

Scott Karrasch (left) has gone from watching hockey on his couch to competing against the best sledge hockey players in the world, including this game against Japan last month in Calgary. (Photo: COURTESY OF IIHF/HHOF AND HOCKEY CANADA) conspired in his favour along the way. In his late teens he took up bodybuilding and shed all of the excess weight he had packed around for years. When he was 24, he lost his left leg to cancer but on the day he received his prosthetic leg, his first stop was at the gym to resume his workouts. In late 2009, a coworker invited him to an informational sledge
hockey practise session where newcomers could give the game a whirl. Karrasch knew very little about the sport and given his childhood memories of other ice activities, he had understandably low expectations when he arrived at the Surrey Sport and Leisure Centre in Fleetwood. “I was a horrible ice skater when I was a kid so I was convinced it was not going
to go well,” he recalled with a laugh. “I got there and it was pretty funny because I was wearing shorts and I was using this generic loaner sled but I gave it a try. It was a ‘come and try it’ sort of thing but there were two coaches there from the provincial team. When it was over, the coaches asked me if I was going to come back because they had another practise that afternoon. I
couldn’t make it because I had something else to do, but I came back the next day and then I just kept going.” Unbeknownst to Karrasch, all of the years working out in the gym had turned him into an ideal sledge hockey player with a strong core and superior upper body strength. The coaches recognized this immediately and within a month of that first spin

Scott Karrasch is living every teen-aged couch potato’s dream these days. A self-described “fat, chubby kid” when he was growing up in Guildford, Karrasch said he rarely played sports and when he did, he was always one of the last players chosen. Today he is a fit, trim 34-year-old who competes against the best players in the world when he suits up with the Canadian national sledge hockey team. A massive hockey fan since childhood, Karrasch discovered the sport of sledge hockey a couple of months before the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver and since then, his rise through the ranks has been meteoric. Skeptical at first, it didn’t take long for him to look past the odd equipment and recognize a game far too many Canadians have overlooked. “People don’t realize what sledge hockey is and a lot of times they regard it as a disabled sport,” said Karrasch, life-long Surrey resident. “What they don’t realize until they see it live and in person is that it’s really just hockey. If they like hockey, they’ll understand and like sledge. If you see the way the game is played and see the systems used, you’ll recognize it as hockey.” The road to the coveted red and white jersey has been a long and surprising journey for Karrasch, but circumstances have
around the rink, Karrasch was a member of the provincial team. “One of the things that helped me a lot is that because I was into body building for so long and because it was such a normal part of my life, the transition was easier,” he said. “Sledge hockey relies so much on core and upper body strength and I had that strength because of my body building and that helped me adapt to the speed and control needed for sledge. “The thing I found was in the first two or three months I really progressed. As I played it more, it became more fun for me and the more I played, the better I got.” If his head wasn’t spinning over his sudden success already, Karrasch was totally blown away when he got to see the best sledge teams in the world compete at the 2010 Winter Olympics.

Some guys can fire the puck at 70 miles-per-hour with one hand — it’s amazing. Karrasch is still amazed at the strange direction his life taken. He is now a carded athlete with Hockey Canada and he is grateful for the respect with which sledge hockey players are treated by the national governing body. All travel expenses are paid for and every need is taken care of so the players can focus on playing the game. The added bonus, of course, is he gets to play the game wearing the coveted red and white colours of Team Canada. “As a kid growing up I never played hockey so I never thought I would play for the Team Canada junior team or the Team Canada senior team because you have to be an NHL player,” he said. “So this is still sort of surreal for me to be on the national team. I remember the first time I saw a Team Canada jersey with my name on the back — it was totally surreal. “Even going forward now, it’s still a really cool thing for me to play with the maple leaf on my jersey and that’s something cool I can give to my kids.”

fear to sledge, even when the price he pays is a painful one. Sledge hockey sticks are equipped with sharp picks on the end of the shaft and rarely do players escape a game without needing a Band-Aid or six. Asked if the wounds are accidental or intentional, Karrasch grinned and replied, “both.” He added, “The national team really is the best team in the world. Even sitting on the bench, I am in awe at the skills of the players on our team. Some guys can fire the puck at 70 miles-per-hour with one hand — it’s amazing. One of the less enjoyable parts about my position (winger) is sometimes I end up in front of the net and I have to watch out for a 70 mph shot from Billy Bridges. Pucks hurt no matter what kind of hockey you’re playing.”

FROM
‹ from page 40 the weeks leading up to the Games, the B.C. team played a couple of exhibition games against Korea, losing them both by scores of 8-0 and 9-0. That same Korean team later played Team Canada and Karrasch was amazed to see the national team take the Asian visitors to school by the same scores Korea had inflicted on B.C. “I practise here with the provincial team and I feel great but the game is really played at two different speeds,” he said. “There’s the provincial team speed and then there’s world-class speed and with the national team it’s a different game. You have to think faster, you have to move faster and everything is done at a much faster pace. Things that look easy with the provincial team are not so easy with the national team.” In September of 2010, Karrasch was invited to the Canadian national team try-out camp. With a new sled sitting at home in Surrey awaiting a custom-fitted carbon fibre bucket (seat), he showed up for the national camp with a beat-up loaner sled. This is akin to trying to qualify for a PGA Tour event using rental golf clubs. Despite an understandable lack of control while turning, Karrasch was stunned to learn at the end that he had made the team. “I was a little bit taken aback because I knew how good those guys are, but at the same time, I had made some decent progress,” he said. “I really didn’t feel like I deserved to be there and I know there were some guys there who didn’t make the team who I thought deserved to make the team more than me. That’s something I struggled with all of last season and to some degree it still bothers me.” Rather than puzzle about his good fortune, Karrasch has thrown himself into the game. With no hockey background other than watching on television or messing around at ball hockey in the park with buddies, the jump from spectator to international hockey was a massive one. Fortunately, Karrasch understands how important grit and desire are to the Canadian hockey ethos. He willingly goes where many

The Tamanawis Wildcats exorcised some ghosts from season’s past by beating Burnaby South in the title game of that school’s annual Rod Thompson Classic Tournament in senior boy’s basketball action last weekend. Ranked ninth in the province, the Wildcats avenged a trio of losses to Burnaby South last season by thumping the Rebels 67-54 in Saturday’s gold medal game. “This was a nice win and it’s a great way to go into the break,” said Tamanawis coach Surinder Grewal. “It was great to get some closure against Burnaby South after what they did to us last year. It was great to get that weight off our shoulders mentally as we move forward. They are a very good team so

it was a real test for us and we passed it.” The Wildcats dispatched Winston Churchill in their first game and then knocked off the Delta Pacers in the semifinal before topping the Rebels in the final. Manny Dulay provided some spark for Tamanawis all weekend by averaging 12 points, nine assists and three steals per game en route to earning MVP honours. Ravjot Dhaliwal was named the event’s top defensive player while fellow Wildcats Shivi Viria and Sukhjot Bains were first team all-star selections.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Be ambitious – use the holidays to show parents and rich uncles how far you’ve come and how talented you are. Many things move forward now in career and in money. A fourmonth money delay ends. If you’ve “collected” extra money over the past several months, it was from previous/old situations. If you have a money scheme that you’ve nursed for some months, launch it now. If not, find one! (For career advancement, realize a relationship – not necessarily a career one – must be solved or “onside” first.) Happiness, popularity visit Monday to Wednesday. Lie low Thursday/Friday. Taurus April 20-May 20: Charge forward with personal plans involving education, far travel, legal or cultural projects, research, investment, lifestyle changes, surgery or diagnosis, and/or intimacy and commitment. Now to June, you’ll succeed with these spheres, in a huge, elevating way, with the slightest effort! (Well, education, legal, travel and cultural zones will only succeed if you take a worklike approach – handle these like a job and you’ll accomplish well.) Ambition, relations with higherups are important Monday to Wednesday – all’s good. Happiness, optimism Thursday/Friday. Rest, Saturday. Gemini May 21-June 20: One of your best financial, investment months of the year starts now. It’s complex, though. Yes, lucky investments appear, particularly in negotiations, contracts, in projects that deal with the public, or entail relocation or a partnership. But final success will only come if you can work with “creative elements.” If you’re in love, and invest, your love will direct the investment properly. (Don’t ask me what all this means.) Your sexual desires rise, which can lead to satisfaction with a comforting person. Seek your answers Monday to Wednesday noon. Be ambitious Thursday.

Investment
Cancer June 21-July 22: Relationships are front and centre in the weeks ahead. Be diplomatic yet eager. Both opportunity and opposition occur. You might meet true love. (That’s a possibility about every second month for the next 12 years. Some of the better “true loves” will appear after October 2012. Before then, it can be difficult to find a lover who is also marriage material.) Social and group affairs that have been held up since August now get a green light, into June. Mysteries and investment opportunities arise Monday to Wednesday. Wisdom, mellowness flow Thursday/Friday. Caution, Saturday. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: A month of hard work, duties, dependents, machinery and health lies ahead. A career, business, prestige or similarly ambitious venture, perhaps started last summer, can finally charge ahead – so the weeks ahead should combine work and career luck – you could be promoted, or have your responsibilities expanded. Chores face you Sunday. Relationships, exciting meetings and new horizons arrive Monday to Wednesday. Life’s deeper side, sexual desires, financial commitments and mysteries needing investigation – these come Wednesday eve to Friday. Be cautious with money, spending Saturday. Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Romance, creative surges, pleasure forays, speculative ventures and charming children fill the weeks ahead. You’ll win in these zones! Delays end in higher education, international trade and travel, publishing, cultural rituals, law and intellectual pursuits. Where these two spheres of influence combine (e.g., romance and a wedding, or creativity and publishing) you could meet surprising success! The one flaw is money: its “demands” can prove stronger than romance, et al. Tackle chores Monday-Wednesday. Deep relationship developments Wednesday night. Avoid temptation Saturday.

Dec. 25 - 31, 2011
Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: The weeks ahead are “down home” – security, family, property, nutrition, gardening, all the basics. You might make changes in these (e.g., move or renovate your residence). You might also change who you associate with – gently abandon stale projects and hangers-on. You can benefit deeply from changes now – lifestyle, health. This is a splendid time to invest in property. The only glitch is your own slowness and caution. Rest deeply Sunday. Romance, creative urges brighten your life Monday to Wednesday.Tackle chores Thursday/Friday. Be careful with relationship words Saturday. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Communications, travel, errands, paperwork, casual friends and siblings – these dominate over the few weeks ahead. Be curious, especially about the matters and situations that are holding you back. (E.g., if you’re in jail, read books about the world’s jails.) This is a good time to take a communications course. Partnership in love or business is a great opportunity mid-2011 to mid2012. Something along this line might have stalled since August – but the delays are over. Step ahead, open your arms! Romance calls Wednesday eve to Friday. Take care with machines, driving, Saturday. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Chase money, buy/ sell, ask for a pay raise, apply for scholarships or student loans, and seek new clients – now through the four weeks ahead. Your work and employment luck is huge this winter/spring (perhaps I should say expansive rather than lucky). This dovetails splendidly with the present accent on money. Even those temperamental, impatient higher-ups might throw more money at you. Only one thing can foul this up – your social life and/or your fond wishes. For the moment (to June 2012) be practical. Love and opportunities will come – hugely – from June 2012 onward.
Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Your energy, charisma, effectiveness and clout rise high now to late January. Start important projects, display your talents, seek an audience with higher-ups, and/or tackle jobs that once intimidated you. You’re going to make an impression! Love should thrive now also (to June, but especially this month ahead and May). Love delays end – so might someone’s apparent lack of interest. Approach the one who attracts you. Creative, speculative, and sports ventures can also shoot forward luckily now to June. Chase money and buy/sell Monday to Wednesday. Avoid a “hot head” Saturday. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Lie low, rest and contemplate. Form plans for the future. Seek therapy, advice. Be charitable and spiritual. Deal with government or head office, and catch up with neglected chores. All this Sunday, and for the entire four weeks ahead. This is a splendid period to purchase a home (or other property). Rest Sunday. Your energy returns Monday to Wednesday, and your charisma glimmers here and there, but no more than sunlight through trees. Get things done – you’ll accomplish easily. Money’s important Wednesday eve to Friday: shop Wednesday. Guard your speech, driving Saturday. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: A wish could come true this week (perhaps Sunday) or during the three weeks following. A month of optimism, socializing, popularity and entertainment has just begun! You’re going to say, “I know what happiness is – just a bit.” But that bit will expand to huge proportions from next February onward for a whole decade and a half. No more will you ever say, “I’m not fulfilled.” Sunday promises, but Monday to Wednesday pulls you back to quietude, solitude and rest. Plan, contemplate and help others.Your energy and charisma rocket upwards Wednesday eve to Friday – see and be seen! timstephens@shaw.ca

You love your vehicle and want it to look and perform at its best, but Canadian winters can create challenges for keeping it in tip top shape. Here are a few tips to safeguard your vehicle from the rough weather to keep you and your ride looking ready for the road: Inspection/Maintenance: Routine maintenance is a must for vehicle longevity, but before any long journey in the cold weather, it’s even more important to have your vehicle inspected by a professional mechanic. Brake pads, tires, belts and hoses should be inspected for wear and proper operation, and fluids should be checked and topped off. High-Quality Gasoline: It’s important to note that a “high octane” number doesn’t necessarily ensure the gasoline is high-quality. “For vehicles whose manufacturers recommend or require the higher octane associated with a premium gasoline, ensuring you buy a highquality fuel can make a difference,” explains Ken Mitchell, an engineer at Shell. Tire Swap: Snow tires have deeper grooves that provide significantly more traction than all season tires, making them capable of stopping your car faster than all season tires. In addition, the colder weather and rolling resistance caused by snow and slush can decrease air pressure in tires. After you switch to your winter tires, ensure that the pressure is optimal, and recheck the pressure regularly, especially after a sharp drop in temperature. Cold Starts vs. Idling: You may believe that you’re doing the best for your vehicle by allowing it to “warm up” in the cold weather with a few minutes of idling. In fact, more than just the engine needs to be warmed up and this can only happen if the vehicle is moving. Emergency Kit: Pack an emergency kit for your car filled with a first-aid kit, flashlight, thermal blanket, tire pressure gauge, coolant, water, jumper cables, safety flares and an emergency tire inflator.

AUTOMOTIVE Get the most out of every fill-up Follow these fuelefficient driving tips from Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) and make fewer trips to the gas station this winter: • Avoid aggressive driving behaviours, such as quick starts and hard stops – that can increase your fuel consumption by up to 25 per cent; • Drive at the posted speed limit – decreasing your cruising speed from 120 km/h to 100 km/h will decrease fuel consumption by approximately 20 per cent; • Don’t idle – idling for more than 60 seconds uses more fuel and produces more CO2 compared to restarting your engine; • Use cruise control – on dry, flat, wideopen highways, use cruise control to help improve fuel efficiency by maintaining an even and steady speed; • Take the most fuelefficient route – routes with fewer stop lights and less traffic may use less fuel than shorter routes with more stop lights and heavy traffic; • Measure your tire pressure once a month –under-inflated tires by 56 kilopascals (eight pounds per square inch) can increase your vehicle’s fuel consumption by up to four per cent; • Calculate your mileage –set your trip odometer every time you fill up and challenge yourself to go farther and farther on each tank of fuel. NRCan has a handy online fuel calculator on their website at www.vehicles.nrcan. gc.ca.

AUTOMOTIVE Options
How to save on auto insurance this holiday season lies in how you drive, what you drive, and the coverage you choose,” he says. Blumenthal offers his top tips on how to save
money on your auto insurance: • Choose your vehicle wisely. Before you buy a vehicle, check your insurance rate and
the vehicle’s rating. For example, luxury automobiles can be expensive to insure, because they are more expensive to repair and replace. How often your make and model of vehicle is stolen may also affect your premium, but if you install a safety or theft-reducing device you may be eligible for a lower rate. • Rethink how you use your vehicle. If you’ve gone from driving to work every day to embracing public transit and only using your vehicle locally on weekends, then you may qualify for a lower premium. You could also consider removing high-risk drivers from your policy. • Increase your deductible. There is
always the option to increase your deductible to save on monthly costs but keep in mind you’ll be responsible for higher out-of-pocket expenses. • Look for discounts. Review your automobile policy annually and hunt for a good deal. And don’t forget to ask about discounts. If you’re a member of a professional group or alumni association, you may qualify for special rates with a particular insurer. Additionally, check with your employer to see if they have negotiated a group discount for staff. Many insurance companies also offer discounts if you bundle your insurance for home and multiple vehicles together.

Keep entertainment quality high on the road With Canadians spending more time on the road commuting to and from work, having easy access to great in-car entertainment is a necessity. Many drivers are tired of the commercials on traditional AM/FM radio and have turned to subscription-based satellite radio as their top choice for entertainment when they are behind the wheel. In fact, upwards of two million Canadians now subscribe to satellite radio and enjoy more than 120 channels of commercialfree music plus sports, news and entertainment programming. Here are answers to some of the most popular questions about satellite radio. How does it all work? Programming originates from studios in Vancouver, Toronto, New York and Washington and is beamed via satellite across North America. Subscribers can access programming from satellite radios installed in their vehicles, homes, offices or mobile devices. Where can I listen? Most new vehicles come equipped with satellite radio already integrated into the sound system. For other makes and models of vehicles, there are a variety of radios that are easy to install. Many also offer speaker dock accessories that let you listen at home. Subscribers can also
stream Sirius or XM programming online or on their smartphone. Is it good for road trips? Satellite radio was made for road trips and with a Sirius or XM radio in your vehicle you can drive from Victoria to Charlottetown or Winnipeg to Miami without having to worry about losing reception. What about programming? Satellite radio subscribers can access more than 120 channels of unbeatable live sports, comedy, entertainment and news in addition to a huge variety of commercialfree music programming from every genre. Music programming is constantly updated so playlists never get boring. What about sound quality? Satellite radio offers unbeatable reception and crystal clear sound. Who’s listening? Since the technology first launched in Canada six years ago, more than two million Canadians have subscribed to satellite radio. What does it cost? Sirius or XM satellite radio is $15 per month, which gives you unlimited access to more than 120 channels of sports, news, entertainment and commercial-free music. More information is available online at www.sirius.ca or www. xmradio.ca.

With the first snowfall just around the corner, these simple tips will help Canadian motorists prepare for the months of often hazardous conditions that lie ahead. • Keep a safe distance between you and the vehicle in front of you in case you have to brake suddenly on a slippery surface. • Get your vehicle winter-ready with a maintenance check-up. • Make sure you have sufficient windshield washer fluid in the reservoir and keep an extra jug in the vehicle. • Clear snow and ice from all windows, lights, mirrors and the roof. • Install winter tires before winter begins. Winter tires are often not available later in the season. If re-using tires check them to see if it is time to replace them. • Remember to check tire air pressure frequently, as it decreases in cold weather. • Prepare a winter survival kit for your vehicle. Having essential supplies can provide some comfort and safety for you and your passengers should you become stranded. More information is available from your insurance broker or online at avivacanada.com.
