Put on your Western duds, Surrey. It’s time to rock the rodeo.
❚FILE PHOTO/Sharon Doucette
It’s 65 years and counting for Cloverdale Rodeo — and a whopping 122 for the fair that accompanies all that bronco bucking, staged every year on the Victoria Day long weekend (May 20 to 23). The rodeo is marking its 65th anniversary with a whole lot of tradition, and some new features, too. The rodeo will again
be rocking the Stetson Bowl, of course, and the fair will offer thrilling rides, action sports demos, food and, this year, lots of musical variety on stages set up around Cloverdale Fairgrounds. The Now’s enterainment editor Tom Zillich tells you who will take the stage and rock the rodeo this year. See page 21.
❚CRIME REDUCTION STRATEGY
Surrey’s overall crime rate dropping, city report suggests Tom ZYTARUK Now Staff
DIANNE WATTS
Surrey’s crime rate is falling. A Crime Reduction Strategy progress report presented to Surrey council by city staff on Monday night says that between
2006 and 2009, overall crime dropped by 10 per cent, property crimes dropped by 19 per cent, violent crime dropped by five per cent, and burglary and auto theft fell by 20 per cent and 24 per cent, respectively. City hall expects to release the
figures for 2009-2010 this summer, but according to the RCMP, a preliminary analysis indicates a continued drop in crime, straight across the board. “While there is always more to be done, the work of the last four years has resulted in many new
partnerships, holistic problemsolving approaches, and progress in addressing the root causes of crime in our city,” Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts said. “It’s definitely trending in the right direction.”

Work have you stumped? Grab some Lego and play. Amy REID
Now Contributor
SURREY – Lego isn’t just for kids anymore. Around the world, professionals are using the toy blocks to show companies how they can help build their business and solve problems. A Lego-based concept is now in Surrey, thanks to Jacqueline Lloyd Smith, with Strategicplay North America. She’s one of four people globally trained by the Danish toy company to offer Lego Serious Play sessions. She moved the business from Ontario to South Surrey last year. The company’s international client list includes the Canadian Coast Guard, Google, Disney and even clients from all levels of government. So how and why is Lego a business tool? Lloyd Smith said the methodology is based on extensive research in the fields of business, education and psychology. The four key elements of Lego Serious Play are constructionism, play, imagination and identity. Lloyd Smith said that since most people learn visually and through doing, this tool takes advantage of all learning and communication styles. It’s used for applications such as strategic planning, branding and identity and team development. “In your head you have all these ideas and we know with the rapid changing business environment that we can’t keep doing things the way we have been,” she said. “When businesses have no idea what to do – they need to use their imagination.” The reason Lego works is because it utilizes hand-brain knowledge, she added. “When we use our hands to problem-solve, our hands become a search engine for our brain.”
LANGLEY – A public funeral service will be held this afternoon at Christian Life Assembly church in Langley for the young Surrey woman who was killed May 3 when her car was struck by a van driven by a woman suspected of being drunk behind the wheel. The service for Kassandra Marie Kaulius, 22, of Surrey will be at 1 p.m. The church is located at 21277 56th Ave. There will also be a private service for her family at the Precious Blood Catholic Church in Cloverdale. Kaulius was driving through the intersection of 152nd Street at 64th Avenue in Sullivan when a van driven by a 34-year-old Surrey woman smashed into her door at KASSANDRA KAULIUS high speed. The woman, who was arrested nearby after reportedly running off into some bushes, has not been charged. “She is facing charges,” Surrey RCMP Cpl. Drew Grainger said. “The charge has not been approved by Crown yet.” A mechanical inspection report, crash scene analysis and witness statements must be considered, he said. Meantime, the woman, whose name has not been released, was released from custody on a promise to appear in Surrey provincial court on an unknown date. A Facebook memorial page for Kaulius continues to draw comments from mourners. “I can’t believe such a tragic thing could happen to somebody so sweet and innocent,” one mourner wrote.
SURREY – A hit-and-run investigation is underway after a 28-year-old Surrey man was run down Tuesday morning while riding an unlicenced pocket bike. The man, whose name has not been released, is listed in critical condition and is on life support. He sustained significant head injuries after being struck by an unknown vehicle in the 13700-block of Larner Road in Bolivar Heights. The crash happened at about 11:20 a.m. The victim was not wearing a helmet. Witnesses are asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502. Pocket bikes, also known as mini-race bikes, are miniature motorcycles. Despite their tiny size, some are capable of doing 100 km/h. ❚PHOTO/Amy Reid
Jacqueline Lloyd Smith tells participants about her Lego Serious Play method during a demonstration at her South Surrey office. People are able to reach solutions to even the most complex problems when thinking visually, she added. “And people really enjoy it. It’s engaging, it’s fun and it works.”
Lloyd Smith is offering breakfast demonstrations to businesses interested in learning more about this method. For more information, visit strategicplay.ca.
Crime down, report says, but police just as busy That said, it’s difficult to tell if this means fewer crimes are being committed or if it’s simply a matter of fewer being reported. Asked about this, Watt’s replied with a question: “How do you quantify if somebody’s not phoning?” Surrey RCMP Cpl. Drew Grainger says the detachment’s file load has remained fairly consistent. “We’re responding to as many complaints today as we have in the past,” he told the Now. But if the number of complaints remains the same, how then is crime going down?

Grainger says it’s because police have been attending more general calls involving accidents and other matters that “don’t necessarily constitute a criminal investigation.” Meantime, the glossy 60-page progress report released this week highlights a slew of initiatives that the city says have helped reduce crime and enhance public safety. For example, the Electrical Fire Safety Inspection Program, launched in 2005, helped bring down the number of marijuana grow-ops in Surrey by more than 65 per cent from 2007 to 2010. Moreover, increased foot patrols and a Transit Police plainclothes
crew have helped curb drug trafficking and other crime at bus exchanges and the Surrey RCMP’s crime analysis unit has helped identify crime trends and weed out prolific offenders. Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (aka CPTED) has helped diminish criminal activity, as have neighbourhood beautification projects and the WRAP gang intervention program, as well as efforts to house the homeless. “Since 2009 we’ve helped 356 people in Surrey get off the street and into permanent housing with the supports they need,” Watts said. tzytaruk@thenownewspaper.com
Do that census, Surrey mayor Watts urges SURREY – Don’t forget to answer that 2011 census questionnaire, if you haven’t already. That’s the word from Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts. “The amount of funding we receive from other levels of government is determined by the information collected through the census,” she noted, “so it’s very important for our community that every household fills out the short questionnaire.” Each household should have received a questionnaire in the mailbox recently. Though Tuesday was the official deadline, the census people say there’s still time to get it done. “I’m doing that today,” Watts said Wednesday. “I’m doing mine online.”
Surrey man pleads not guilty to U.S. murder CHICAGO – A Surrey man accused of gunning down his former girlfriend in a Chicago suburb last month in a stalking murder case is facing 100 years in prison if he’s found guilty of the crime. Dmitry Smirnov, 20, pleaded not guilty to five counts of murder during an arraignment hearing Monday in a Chicago area courtroom. He’s expected to be back in court on June 20. Prosecutors told the court they are seeking a 100year prison sentence with no chance for parole. According to news reports, the couple met on an internet dating site when Smirnov was 17 and Vesel was 33, and he moved to Chicago but returned to Canada after their relationship collapsed. Jitka Vesel, 36, was shot 11 times, in a parking lot in Oakbrook, Illinois. – Tom Zytaruk

NANAIMO – A Surrey Danielle BELL family is desperate to find Postmedia News their missing 13-year-old son, who was last seen in Nanaimo. It has been four days since Scott Di Vincenzo was reported missing in Surrey on Saturday. His parents, who describe their son as friendly and caring but fearless and not street-smart, say they plan to stay in Nanaimo as long as it takes to find him. “I don’t think he realizes what kind of danger is out there,” said mother Solimar. “We need everyone’s help because we don’t know where to look for him anymore.” Solimar and father Len say their son has run away in the past but for only a few hours at a time. Di Vincenzo was upset over being grounded and can rebel against authority, say his parents, who do not believe any other factors are behind his disappearance. Police located the boy as he got off the ferry at Departure Bay with a friend but as he was being returned to Surrey by friends, Di Vincenzo ran off when they stopped at the Wallace Street Tim Hortons, where he was last seen Sunday. Despite extensive patrols and inquiries as the search continues, there has been no trace of Di Vincenzo. His 19-year-old sister and 17-year-old brother will join family in Nanaimo as the

Their son has access to a small amount of money. “It’s been up and down,” said Len “You get a little glimmer of hope but then you can’t find him.” Police say in most runaway cases, teenagers are older, have connections and return home shortly after.

❚RCMP VOLUNTEER
Watch your speed near schools – Bill Brand is keeping watch of B.C. to analyze. There are roughly 15,000 speedrelated traffic crashes in this province every year. Usually, more than 180 people are killed and more than 8,000 are injured. Staff Sgt. Darren Malcolm, the officer in charges of Whalley’s District 1 office, says the force is indebted to volunteers like Brand. The detachment has about 170 volunteers Surrey-wide, with 27 active in the city centre. Brand is one of the longest serving. “They’re so important,” Malcolm says. “Bill provides a service to a needed area where we get lots of complaints, at most of these schools. He focuses on the problem schools, and our ability to respond to that, through policing all the time we just don’t have that ability. So to have somebody like Bill, as dedicated as he is to our problem areas, just really not only makes a difference but it eliminates those community complaints that we get surrounding those issues.” Sandy Campbell, the office coordinator for the District 1 station, agrees.
Bill Brand volunteers about 55 hours each month with the RCMP Speed Watch team to ensure motorists are staying within the limit, especially in school zones. ❚PHOTO/

“They’re invaluable to our district office,” she said of the volunteers. “They all want to do their best to give back to the community. “There are ones that perhaps have aspirations of becoming police officers. There’s the retired ones that like to come out and it’s a social gathering for them too and also gives them a purpose.” Before he retired, Brand was a heavy-duty mechanic and also drove a logging truck. During his post-retirement career as a volunteer with the Surrey RCMP, Brand worked in
the Lock-out Auto Crime program and delivered subpoenas, besides doing Speed Watch. He used to cover the whole of Surrey until 1999, when the RCMP divided the city into five policing districts and he was assigned to District 1. This year, Brand will be celebrating his 54th wedding anniversary with his wife Bridget, a retired nurse. Asked what his wife thinks of his chronic volunteering, Brand laughed. “Well, she wants me out of the house.” He donates roughly 55 hours of his time each month, “because
I enjoy it,” he explains. “I enjoy meeting people, and I enjoy working with the RCMP.” The Surrey RCMP district regularly honours its volunteers through various award ceremonies and other functions. Brand has three awards for volunteering, and a Queen’s jubilee medal that was presented to him by MP Chuck Cadman. April 18-22 marked National Volunteer Week, but the Surrey RCMP got a jump on it this year by holding its 2011 Volunteer Appreciation Dinner at Eaglequest Golf Course on April 14.

cer, said the company’s sales continue to rise dramatically as interest in alternative forms of energy around the globe grows. In 2007, the company recorded $1 million in sales, a figure that jumped to $12 million by 2010. Sales figures for 2011 are projected at a robust $25.7 million. At a luncheon after the tour at the Cloverdale campus of Kwantlen Polytechnic University, the presenting sponsor of the tour, Surrey Coun. Linda Hepner, spoke about the opportunities the city offers. Her sales pitch was directed to local business leaders as well as trade and cultural representatives from the consulates of Costa Rica, Indonesia and Mexico, who were also on the tour. In her remarks, Hepner enumerated the many benefits of setting up shop in Surrey, which includes having the second lowest business tax in Metro Vancouver. Noting that one-third of Surrey’s population is under the age of 19, Hepner said new businesses in the city will have a vast and highly educated pool of employees to choose from to fill positions within their companies in the coming years. “That’s significant, that’s a workforce in waiting,” she said. Surrey’s size also means there’s room for expansion in the future. Hepner said that 48 per cent of Metro Vancouver’s available industrial land is in Surrey. mbabic@thenownewspaper.com

SURREY – The Surrey Marisa BABIC Board of Trade hosted its Staff Reporter second annual “Industry Tour” on Friday aimed at showcasing Surrey’s best companies and promoting investment and business in the city. “It’s a brand-building exercise,” said Anita Huberman, chief executive officer of the Surrey Board of Trade. A highly popular event, organizers had to hire two buses to transport the roughly 70 people who had signed up for the tour around the quadrants of the city. One of the buses toured the Cloverdale area, the HoneyBee Centre and River’s Bend Winery, and leading-edge companies in the Campbell Heights Business Park, a large industrial park in South Surrey near the Langley border. Stops at the business park included Advance Wire Products, a company that has been in business since 1953 and bills itself as North America’s leading designer and manufacturer of metal and plastic shelves, bins and other items for the grocery store, convenience store and pharmacy trade. The other stop was at Endurance Wind Power, a company that’s building its fortune on green energy. Engineers and other staff at the plant design and make wind turbines for the international market.

❚BUILDER’S AWARD
SurreyWhite Rock MLA Gordon Hogg holds his award given by Night Hoops, a youth basketball program he helped found. The nighttime program was designed to steer atrisk youth away from trouble.
MLA Hogg earns award for life-changing youth basketball program Ted COLLEY Staff Reporter
WHITE ROCK – It was 15 years ago that Gordon Hogg saw his vision of a different kind of night court come to fruition. In 1996, Night Hoops, a latenight basketball program for teens edging toward a life of crime, became a reality. The program was the brainchild of Hogg, Liberal MLA for Surrey-White Rock. Hogg was then director of the Youth Custody Centre in Burnaby. “I was the warden – that’s how most people would understand it best – at Willingdon.” Hogg said studies showed most offences committed by youth occurred late at night. He began looking for late-night programs for youth, somewhere they could be instead of out on the street getting into trouble. He found the NBA was involved in some programs in
the U.S. and the germ of Night Hoops formed. With support from Basketball B.C., Sport B.C., Vancouver parks board and the police and courts, the program was launched. Vancouver had its own NBA team back then – the Grizzlies. The team ponied up free tickets for Night Hoops, tickets that could be used a rewards for kids in the program.
GORDON HOGG/ “I remember one kid who said to me, ‘I’m going to take Officer So-And-So to a game. He arrested me.’” “The kids were referred to the program by police officers, probation officers and school counsellors. When kids get into that periphery, we tend to use punishment to change them, things like curfews or kicking them out of

school. We used incentives, tickets to basketball games, that sort of thing. It was a whole different approach.” The Grizzlies tickets were popular with the kids, who like to invite teachers, police officers and others who helped them to games, Hogg said. “I remember one kid who said to me, ‘I’m going to take Officer So-And-So to a game. He arrested me.’” Coaches were recruited and

Suspicious device DELTA – Delta police had to call in the military Monday after a suspicious device floated ashore in Boundary Bay. Police received a call after someone noticed the device near the dike in the neighbourhood of 96th Street. Officers noticed the device had markings on it indicating the military should be contacted if it was located. Police secured the area and contacted military explosives personnel on Vancouver Island. Upon their arrival, the military personnel deemed it was not an explosive and removed the device.
Property taxes hiked DELTA – Delta council has given final approval to a 2.98 per cent property tax increase. According to the finance department, the increase, which only applies to the municipal portion of the tax bill, works out to $55 for an average residential property assessed at $535,000. – The Now

Temple tour a learning experience for all In the Sikh custom, there is a special prayer called Akandapaat. This is a three-day prayer usually held at a gurdwara (Sikh temple). It can also be held in a person’s Harvinder home. SANDHU This prayer is done by Sikhs for many reasons, such as the birth of a child, marking auspicious occasions and also for remembering the passing of a family member. A continuous reading of the holy book starts in the morning of the first day and ends on the morning of the third day. This is how long it takes to read the whole Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh holy book. This past weekend was spent at the gurdwara to celebrate the life of a loved one with the Akandapaat prayer. This would have been a usual weekend but for one interesting addition. A close family friend, Marilyn, of Ukrainian background, asked if she – and her social group, the Red Hat Wacky Walkers – could come to the gurdwara to learn about Sikh religion and traditions. “Of course!” was the response. First, some background on these wonderful women and their social group. The Red Hat Wacky Walkers is a White Rock chapter of the Red Hat Society phenomena that started out in California. The primary purpose is “social interaction among women, and to encourage
MyView
fun, friendship, freedom, fulfillment and fitness.” Members are 50 and over and are called “Red Hatters” as they are required to wear red hats and purple attire to all functions. The ladies were given a lesson on the Sikh religion and its customs, starting with removing their shoes, covering their head and then washing their hands before entering the prayer hall. All these have reasons behind it, cleanliness and respect being the main ones. Lenny, the leader of the group, writes in her newsletter: “I took with me from our visit that our practice of our religion may be different but when it comes to our beliefs, we are the same in believing in one God and that He is present everywhere.” We were excited to share the experience with the ladies. We felt honoured they had picked this as an outing for their group and I learnt a lot from them. I learnt about the Red Hat Society and how it came about, how a group of women give themselves permission to have a life of their own, even if it is a few hours at a time. That it was OK to do what you wanted to do. Just giving of yourself constantly to care for others is not the only way to give. This is something women in my culture can learn from and try to emulate.

Cummins says HST report confirms tax is just cash grab DELTA – An Sandor independent panel’s GYARMATI Now Contributor report on the harmonized sales tax in B.C. proves it’s nothing more than a tax grab, says soon-to-be provincial Conservative leader John Cummins. The former longtime Delta MP, who’s the uncontested candidate for the Conservative leadership later this month, is showing he’s not going to mince words when it comes to the contentious HST. Commenting on a report released last week, It’s Your Decision, which
found the HST implemented last July is costing families about $350 a year more in sales tax, Cummins said this year families and consumers will pay $1.3 billion more in HST than under the old PST/GST system. “The tax was supposed to be revenue neutral with higher consumer taxes offset by savings for business and lower prices. However, this report shows that businesses are only saving $730 million. The HST has been a huge windfall to the government – they are taking in $600 million more than they were before.”
An independent panel commissioned by the government, led by former Alberta finance minister Jim Dinning, recently released its report looking at the impacts of the HST. It found the new tax is costing families about $350 a year more because services previously exempt from the PST are no longer tax-free under the HST. Following the release of the report, Premier Christy Clark promised to look at lightening the burden, hinting at the possibility of rebates, exemptions or even cutting to the rate.

In his submission, Richmond Coun. Harold Steves, listing his extensive experience in previous oil tanker transport plans, also noted the public hearing process does not consider other options.

Survival tips for hockey haters as Canucks keep rollin’ Some may consider this a shameful confession: I am a fan neither of the Vancouver Canucks, nor of hockey in genMatthew eral. CLAXTON For whatever reason, I never caught the hockey fan virus. It helps that I was a quiet, nerdy kid more interested in Tolkein and Heinlein novels than sports. (Sports at which I was bad as a child: all of them.) For most of the year, this has no impact on my day-to-day life. Then the playoffs hit. The better the Canucks do, the harder it is for the hockey-neutral to go about our daily lives. If you are a Canucks fan, try to imagine small talk for we non-fans. “Great game last night!/Man, that was a disappointing game!” says the fan, as an opening gambit. “Um, didn’t catch it,” the nonfan mutters. “Tape it?”

Try it at least once a day! • A fondness for hockey is not actually a pre-requisite of Canadian citizenship. • Inviting us to your Canuckwatching party, while well-meaning, is not actually going to be fun for us. Would you like to come over and watch me sort my comic books by issue number? No? OK then, maybe we can go do something we’d both enjoy. • Not caring about hockey does not mean I don’t like Stompin’ Tom Connors. I just prefer “Sudbury Saturday Night” to “The Hockey Song.” • When you start talking to us about various hockey players, you might as well be talking to a dog. “Yeah, Xyrkpl was great last night, but Frngtrph needs to step up his game,” is what we hear. And to my fellow non-hockey
fans, don’t follow my example. Avoid baiting the hockey-loving masses. My mother, brother, and several other friends and relatives are big Canucks fans. During family visits that coincide with games, I have been known to mess with them. “Is this the third down?” is not the appropriate response to overtime. Declaring that professional sports are a tool of the bourgeois ruling class to distract the proletariat is not a good idea. Unless you’re watching hockey with a Marxist. Asking which team we’re rooting for will probably not be appreciated. Actually rooting for the nonCanuck team seems to result in a punch to the arm. Finally, non-hockey fans, remember that the playoffs are a finite period of time. Everything will be back to normal, once the Canucks get their butts kicked by the Sharks or Red Wings.

Will be tough for province to convince us HST is good The Editor, Re: “Province’s only shot at having HST approved is to reduce it,” the Now, May 10.
Immigrants should speak Canada’s official language Re: “Your bias is showing, Sandhu,” the Now letters, May 5. Kudos to Daniel Allen for expressing my feelings with regards to Harvinder Sandhu’s columns in the Now. I have chosen not to read her column any longer. I am 62 years old and from a third-generation immigrant family. My family immigrated due to a war in 1905. My grandfather was a proud Canadian and he spent most of his life mastering the English language, not in school but by reading the dictionary and doing crossword puzzles in the paper. Canada is a bilingual country and it is an immigrant’s responsibility to learn one of the official languages. I find it repugnant that people who know how to speak the language choose not to be inclusive in mixed company. To all South Asian immigrants who aspire to building a better life and celebrating – as well as respecting – our differences, welcome! These are the building blocks of our great country.
Letters
The Editor, Re: “Province’s only shot at having HST approved is to reduce it,” the Now, May 10. The HST should be kept at a reduced rate of 10 per cent or it should be rejected. As columnist Keith Baldrey points out, a one-per-cent decrease in the HST could reduce provincial revenues by as much as $800 million. Given Jim Dinning’s report, an $800-million windfall has already been realized by the province, due to HST implementation at the current 12 per cent rate, therefore, a two-per-cent decrease of the current 12 per cent HST rate could result in an $800-million hit on provincial revenues. Historically, the track record of any provincial government, Liberal or NDP, to accurately forecast revenues and costs has been dismal and unreliable. From the public’s perspective, the only acceptable action to ensure retention of the HST would be to lower the rate to 10 per cent. This action would be in the best interest of all British Columbians and still allows other adjustments to HST application as appropriate. The province is quick to point out that no changes can be made to the current HST agreement (including rates) between Canada and B.C. for some period of time. Both the premier designate Christy Clark and leader of the opposition Adrian Dix could ensure the reduction to be immediate with approval by both parties to change the agreement. This may require contact with every federal party and their associated MPs in B.C. soliciting their support with this action. Pity that Clark did not display some leadership and take the opportunity to address this significant regional issue during the recent federal election, or maybe she strategically avoided the issue.

One ‘Now’ reader wonders why Premier Christy Clark chose not to “display some leadership” and make the HST an election issue dur❚FILE PHOTO/Ted Colley ing the recent federal vote.
Having just read Keith Baldrey’s proposal, which was forwarded to me, I think that it is a good idea. As a small business person, I really like the taxes being combined, it is less work, less accounting fees, and gives me a better return for acting as another government “tax collector.” However, the average person does not understand the benefits of the combined tax as the HST and so a “carrot and stick” approach as suggested by Keith Baldry may encourage more citizens to vote to keep the HST. The provincial government will have some work convincing people that this would stay in place though; there would be suspicion that the tax would be raised again after it was accepted.

Thank you, Anita Folk, for being so clear regarding harmony, camaraderie or inclusion. In my 70-plus years, it is my experience that no family group, tribe, ethnic group or political class has greater family love or work ethics than the other. I humbly suggest that columnist Harvinder Sandhu needs to travel and/or communicate outside her ethnic comfort zone, and she may find less division in our society than she supposes.

Honourable Hardy Staub was hardly a sore loser

The Editor, Re: “Hardy Staub’s a sore loser,” the Now letters, May 5. What L. Wright seems to have conveniently forgotten is that Russ Hiebert spent taxpayers’ money flying himself and his family first class to and from Ottawa. Hardy Staub is an honourable man and he felt that there was something very wrong with Hiebert’s spending habits. Hiebert has cut back on his expenses and is now being seen a little more often, which is good. But I would argue it has taken challenges from people like Staub to make that happen. As to him being “magnanimous” in his loss – it’s a classy individual who visits his opponent’s campaign office on election night to congratulate him.

Coast Capital’s election ‘historic’
Masquerade ball will help battered women
SURREY – Coast Capital Savings has turned its directors’ election into a good deed. The credit union pledged to donate $1 for every ballot cast in its election for board of directors, which netted a record turnout. It was also Coast Capital’s first ever online election. “Our 2011 board election was historic, not only because we became the first credit union in Canada to implement electronic voting through our online platform, but also because we used the process as another opportunity to support the communities we have the privilege of serving,” said Bill Wellburn, board chair. Mary Jordan was returned to office in the vote, and is joined by new directors Robin Chakrabarti and Susan Senecal. The pledge has garnered $20,000 for the Boys and Girls Club Services of Greater Victoria and the Boys and Girls Clubs of South Coast B.C.
Surrey business ships first containers to India SURREY – The City of Surrey’s business mission to India seems to
be paying off already. A Surrey-based lumber company has shipped its first ever containers to India last week, just two months after participating in the junket that included 32 delegates from 24 companies. Jhajj Lumber shipped five containers containing 175,000 board feet of B.C. spruce, pine and fir to Port Kandla, India. The wood is slated for new construction. “This deal represents a huge market for us and a great story for the B.C. and Canadian wood industry,” said Jhajj Lumber CEO Parm Jhajj. “On top of these five containers, we are preparing more shipments to leave within another week. We can thank the mayor and Coun. Tom Gill in particular for that.”
New business park in Surrey is up for sale SURREY – Lots in Campbell Heights North are now up for sale.

Kids can register for two free games a day, all summer long, courtesy of the participating bowling centres.

SURREY – Progressive Intercultural Community Services Society is hosting a masquerade ball on Friday to raise funds for second-stage housing for battered women. Second-stage housing helps women who need a place to live beyond their stay in a transition house. Women and their children normally stay in secondstage housing from between nine and 18 months, which gives the woman time to make plans to lead an independent life after leaving an abusive relationship. Tickets to the gala are $150 or tables for $1,200. Champagne reception begins at 6 p.m. and the festivities include a silent auction and dinner, which is followed by a live auction. Tickets can be purchased over the phone or at the PICS office. Call 604-596-7722 or drop by unit 20512725 80th Ave. Surrey.
Arson police investigating Surrey house fire SURREY – Surrey RCMP arson investigators are hoping the public can help them put the bag on two teenage boys who are wanted in connection with a house fire in Fleetwood last month. The fire happened in the 8300block of 151st Street, just before midnight April 23. A family had been watching TV when they heard someone outside, spotted a boy running from their front lawn, and then saw the fire. Surrey firefighters were on scene right away, preventing a tragedy. “Damage to the residence’s exterior was minimal,” Surrey RCMP Cpl. Drew Grainger noted. “However, the potential for large damage and death or injury was high.” Grainger said the investigation has turned up vague descriptions of two boys in their mid 20s, both about five feet six inches tall, slim, wearing dark clothing and carrying something in their hands. Police ask anyone with information to contact the Surrey RCMP’s general investigation section at 604-5990502 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. – Compiled by staff

What’s On
And they’re off to the rodeo Country, rock and even some Glee-style songs hit Cloverdale Fairgrounds on the Victoria Day weekend It’s 65 years and counting ZILLICH for Cloverdale Rodeo — and a Tom Staff Reporter whopping 122 for the fair that accompanies all that bronco bucking, staged annually on the Victoria Day long weekend (May 20-23). The rodeo will again be rocking the Stetson Bowl, of course, and the fair will offer thrilling rides, action sports demos, food and, this year, lots of musical variety on stages set up around Cloverdale Fairgrounds. The fair’s outdoor stage will be buzzing daily with the sounds of country boy Brent Lee, juggler/musician Alex Elixir, acclaimed show band March Hare and Fandangozz, a ZZ Top tribute act. It’s also a stage for the finals of the EMILY TAYLOR ADAMS BC Junior Talent Search (Saturday, May 21 from 1 to 3 p.m.) and Perry Ehrlich’s energetic, entirely entertaining ShowStoppers group of Glee-like singers (1:45 p.m. Monday, May 23). Also set to hit the fair’s outdoor stage is Emily Taylor Adams (3:45 p.m. Sunday, May 22), a 19-year-old country singer-songwriter from Langley. The youngest of four kids, Taylor Adams was drawn to country music from an early age, leaning on the music her siblings were listening to and finding a particular connection with the Dixie Chicks. Taylor Adams’s self-titled debut was released late last year. She made multiple trips to Nashville to prepare and record the album. In particular, one of the songs, “I Love You Cause You’re You,” resonates deeper with her. The song, which she co-wrote, tackles the delicate topic of bullying, which Taylor Adams suffered from when she was in school. “It was very rough,” she revealed. “My friends were my family — that’s how I got through it. The sad thing is that I know every single person that bullied me and all their names and everything they said. It never goes

away. It stays with you forever. “I want people to know that it’s OK to be different and to be who you are,” she said. “No one’s perfect and there’s no such thing as normal.” The outdoor stage also plays host to the free (with fair admission) concert by party band Doug & the Slugs, starting at 7:30 p.m. Sunday, May 22. Singer and bandleader Bennett died in a Calgary hospital in 2004, but the band’s five other original members have soldiered on with new vocalist Ted Okos hitting the right notes on “Too Bad,”
“Chinatown Calculation” and other memorable hits, mostly from the late 1970s and early ’80s. At the popular Longhorn Saloon, Appaloosa (playing a mix of country and rock) and Ken McCoy (veterans of the scene for 20 years) tag-team the stage nightly from May 20-23, starting at 6:15 p.m. and finishing with a final pull from Buds at 1:45 a.m. Featured events at the fair this year include Trial Stars bike shows (featuring pro Vancouver riders Jeff Anderson and Steve Dickin), West Coast Lumberjack Show, freestyle skateboarding demos with local expert Kevin Harris and German Kai Dunkel, Monster Truck rides aboard “The Jurassic Attack” and full-contact action with Mainland Misfits, B.C.’s only co-ed roller derby league. At the Stetson Bowl, world-class rodeo pros will compete for $360,000 in prize money during five rodeo performances over four days. Tickets are $12 for admission to the fairgrounds from May 20-23 (kids six and under free), with rodeo tickets starting at $20.

Black booked to work White Rock’s Sea Fest TheBuzz
The entertainment stages at this year’s Spirit of the Sea Festival in White Rock may look and sound a little different. Janice Savage has left her post as president and Tom entertainment producer ZILLICH of the event, with local guitarist/bandleader Jim Black recruited to fill her shoes. Savage told me she’s involved in new projects and events and does not have the time to devote to Community of Lights Events Society and the popular summer festival it runs every August. “It is time for new energy and ideas, and the 62nd Spirit of the Sea Festival is going to be fabulous,” said Savage, who remains artistic director/ entertainent producer of Ocean Park Day, Ocean Park Idol and other community events (check www.beyondscarlett.com for details). Meanwhile, Black will have to find time to work on staging the festival between his many musical gigs, most notably with Star Captains (a band in the process of getting its first full-length album done) and teaching guitar at Tapestry Music. Give him a shout via email, jimblackmusic@gmail.com.

IMPROVING INDEPENDENCE AND QUALITY OF LIFE FOR SENIORS “Our focus is to help older adults with complex health issues to maintain their independence as long as possible within the community.” -Dr. Sanjeev Vohra, Geriatrician, Specialized Seniors Clinic, Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre
PUBLIC OPEN HOUSE Learn more about the Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre by joining us at our public open house Monday, May 30 from 3pm – 7pm. For more information, learn a fact a day and to view our video about the new Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre go to www.fraserhealth.ca.
With the rise of the older adult population it has become a priority for seniors to maintain function and independence for as long as possible. “Older Adults who have multiple health concerns are not best served with the routine medical care that’s provided through ERs and walk-in clinics,” explained Dr. Sanjeev Vohra, one of the geriatricians in the new Specialized Seniors Clinic at the Jim Pattison Outpatient Care and Surgery Centre. “They require special assessment, care and ongoing support.” The Specialized Seniors Clinic offers older adults and their families assistance with management of their health in order to optimize quality of life, improve self management of chronic conditions, and maintain independence. Working with primary care providers and community services the Seniors Clinic provides assessment, diagnosis, treatment, management, care planning and timely follow up. Care is provided by an interdisciplinary team utilizing evidence based practice and geriatric expertise of professionals and community groups.
Home is best “Our focus is to work collaboratively with primary care physicians to help older adults with complex health issues maintain their independence as long as possible in the community,” Dr. Vohra said. “The goal is always quality of life while keeping them safe, so whatever that transition requires over a period of time, that’s what we guide them through.” Surrey couple Inez and Don, both in their late 90s, are still living independently at home four years after the clinic supported them through Inez’s difficulties with depression and sleeping. The Seniors Clinic staff recognized that Inez was being over-medicated, and after three months in a care facility by adjusting her medications she was able to return home. With the assistance of visits from a home care nurse and their daughter, along with occasional checkups, the couple can keep doing what makes them happy.
“It means a lot to us to be independent,” said Inez, who is 99. “ We feel very fortunate to be using the clinic. They’re very caring and nice people.” Expanding services to meet a growing need The clinic’s new location (relocating from the Gateway Scotia Bank Tower in Surrey) will expand their holistic approach to include coordination with other on-site services (such as chronic disease and pain clinics), primary care providers, referrals to other Fraser Health programs such as Home Health, and a focus on family education and support. This patient-centred, integrated approach is critical as health care providers face what is referred to as “the rising tide of the silver tsunami,” Dr. Vohra noted. “We’re seeing increasing incidence of all problems related to seniors, including dementia, which is a huge and growing problem.” Talk to your family physician if you or a family member could benefit from the Specialized Seniors Clinic. To contact the clinic directly call 604 -953-4919; after June 6 call 604-582-4582.

❚MOVIE REVIEW/Bridesmaids
Raunchy laughs ‘n’ romance, females leading the way ReelView
Bridesmaids Directed by Paul Feig. Starring Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph and Rose Byrne. My rating: 8 (out of 10)
Julie “Well-behaved women CRAWFORD rarely make history.” Nor do they get their own movie. Three cheers, then, for the trail-blazing Bridesmaids, a raunch-and-romance led by Saturday Night Live’s Kristen Wiig and featuring an all-female lead cast. Judd Apatow, he of phallocentric films such as Superbad, 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up (which offered equal billing to Katherine Heigl, but little else) gets girlie for the first time with this film, coproduced and co-written by Wiig. What should have been stock material — a maid of honour feels threatened by her BFF’s shiny, rich new friend — turns out to be the perfect platform for Wiig’s deliciously off-kilter comic sensibilities, tapping into our insecurities even when things get over-the-top. Things are hilarious right out of the gate, literally, as Wiig’s Annie ends up riding one during an early-morning walkof-shame from hump-buddy John Hamm’s house. Annie is in the doldrums. Her boyfriend split when her bakery business foundered, she’s living with a pair of
The Judd Apatow co-produced Bridesmaids stars (from left to right) Ellie Kemper, Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Wiig, Rose Byrne, Maya Rudolph and Wendi McLendon-Covey. doughy British oddballs (a great Matt Lucas and Rebel Wilson) and her glasshalf-empty moping isn’t selling any engagement rings at the jewelry store where she works. Just when Annie seems to have hit rock bottom, it gets worse: Her best friend Lillian (Maya Rudolph) gets engaged. She’s the maid of honour, of course, but prize for prettiest, most perfect bridesmaid goes to Helen (Rose Byrne), the trophy wife of Lillian’s fiancé’s boss. Enter the green-eyed dragon and let the partyplanning one-upmanship begin: Annie’s slim chequebook can’t compete with
Helen’s country club connections, and the more she tries to trumpet her longtime sisterhood with the bride, the more havoc she wreaks. Case in point: In what will be the film’s most-talked about scene, the girls erupt from both ends in the middle of a posh bridal boutique, after a trip to Annie’s favourite budget churrascaria. What a perfect way to gross us out, the puke factor front-and-centre but our minds firmly on those poor couture dresses… The other ’maids comprise the typical rom-com posse but have exclusively feminine gripes: mother of three growing
boys, Rita (Reno 911’s Wendi McLendonCovey) complains about the semen covering her house, prim newlywed Becca (The Office’s Ellie Kemper) wonders why her husband won’t do it with the lights on, and Megan (Mike and Molly’s Melissa McCarthy) propositions everything with a pulse, guy-style. Annie’s descent to rock-bottom continues, as she turns blinders to the few good things that come her way, including Rhodes (Chris O’Dowd), a cute cop who doesn’t mind if her makeup is smeared or if she stays the night. Too full of selfloathing, Annie runs a mile. Bridesmaids is no more a chick flick than Superbad was a guy flick, but the cuss factor has been dialed up in an effort to make it feel even less so. This is the only thing that grates about Bridesmaids: Mothers and kids drop F-bombs merrily to and fro and Wiig’s character lobs the C-word at a teenager. It smacks of comic desperation in a script that is perfectly capable of shocking the audience without all the unnecessary roughness. Otherwise, Bridesmaids succeeds because the script never stops being funny, even as scenes go on too long or director Paul Feig relies on girl-group music to set the mood. Credit Wiig, a one-woman tour-de-funny, from whom we hope to see more lead performances. It’s not over until the fat lady craps — in a sink, no less — and Wiig keeps us laughing in every frame.

Hot ‘Hairspray’ on stage; pyro show prepped for PNE ArtsScene
Arts Club Theatre Company presents the musical Hairspray at the Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage (2750 Granville St., at 12th Avenue) from May 12 to July 10. Tickets are $29 to $63, inclusive of taxes and fees. For info, call 604-687-1644 or visit artsclub.com. Melanie There, that’s all the info right at the MINTY top so you can find it easily. Hairspray is often referred to as “The Big Fat Musical Comedy Hit,” and it sure does relive the doo-wop beehive hairdo ethic of the 1960s. It’s fun, fabulous and you know you want to see it. It’s the last presentation of the season at the Stanley. The original 1988 film, directed by John Waters and starring Ricki Lake, Sonny Bono, Debbie Harry and Divine, was a modest success at the box office and evolved into a cult classic. The Broadway musical, on the other hand, was a smash hit from the get-go, playing for more than six years and 2,500 performances and winning eight Tony Awards (out of 13 nominations) in 2002. A movie adapted from the musical was released in 2007 and starred John Travolta. You know all that already, though. Now the big fat musical is in Vancouver with our own musical theatre stars. It’s a tough gig, getting gainful employment in the area of musical theatre. But still, hundreds of young performers dream of being on stage and singing their hearts out to sell a story. We are fortunate that right here we have good training grounds. Royal City Musical Theatre, Footlight, Fraser Valley Gilbert & Sullivan Society, Theatrix and Theatre Under the Stars are just some of the local performing groups that give opportunities to amateurs.

Musical theatre training returns to SAC this July continued from page 30 Formal training is also a good thing. Once again, Vancouver’s Arts Club Theatre is offering its Musical Theatre Intensive at Surrey Arts Centre. Led by program director Peter Jorgensen, the sessions help talented students gain the skills, confidence and contacts necessary to continue their musical theatre education and pursue their dreams. The Surrey intensive takes place from July 4-15 (Monday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) and costs $495. Students must apply by June 1. Visit www. surrey.ca/arts for application and registration details. This great intensive offers the opportunity to sharpen triple-threat skills. That’s singing, dancing and acting — all requirements for musical theatre. I have heard from some people who have “graduated” from this intensive, and they give it great marks. It’s a step in the right direction, for sure. Applicants must be between age 12 to 18 and have any two of the following: two years’ dance training, one year private voice training, one year of drama or acting classes, one year of singing with a school or community choir, one year of acting/ drama classes. Maybe you aren’t really interested in musical theatre as a career, but would like to earn some summer money as a
dancer. The Pacific National Exhibition is holding open auditions for its new PyroMusical, set to debut during the 2011 fair — nightly, before thousands of people. The audition date is Sunday, May 29 at the PNE Forum. Registration begins at 9 a.m. for the 10 a.m. auditions. Come prepared. Let me repeat — come prepared. Dance clothes, jazz sneakers are required as you will be learning a dance routine on a concrete floor. Woe to you if you show up and expect to dance barefoot. The PNE is looking for exceptional dancers, both male and female with a strong jazz background. Minimum age is 15 and you must be available for all rehearsals, from Aug. 4-18, and for all performances during the fair. This is a tough audition, and only the good and the brave will be selected. Working in the dance and theatre industry is demanding, with long hours and low pay (usually). The opportunities are few, and absolutely nothing can replace good training and being totally prepared. If you aren’t ready to put in the time and dedication and push yourself to the limit, maybe you’d be happier to buy tickets to the show and watch (also a valuable part for the performing arts). How lucky we live in a place where we have the choices. Make yours. melminty@telus.net

Slightly defiant ‘Hot Sauce’ from not-so-bratty Beasties Hot Sauce Sandra SPEROUNES Committee Part Two Postmedia News Beastie Boys In their latest batch of publicity shots, the Beastie Boys look like a pack of retired old men in France — hanging out in doorways, sitting on park benches, arguing with each other, playing bocce in public gardens. Now in their 40s, the bratty Brooklyn natives aren’t old men in numerical terms, though they were forced into a form of temporary retirement when Adam Yauch, or MCA, was diagnosed with cancer of the salivary glands, necessitating the delay of what was supposed to be Hot Sauce Committee Part One. (It was never released, morphing into Part Two instead.)
In terms of hip-hop, however, the Beasties aren’t afraid of behaving like a pack of old men on their eighth and latest studio album. “Please stop shouting in your cellular,’’ Adam Horowitz, or Adrock, rants on “OK,” a robo-pop number with squelchy synths, live drums and scritchy guitar riffs. With Hot Sauce Committee Part Two, they’re not concerned about dropping the hippest or timeliest references. Instead, they still rap about the same subjects from their adolescent years — parties, Lee Dorsey, Lee Majors and fast-food joints — which means Hot Sauce tends to hover between sounding charmingly defiant and painfully out of touch.
Helplessness Blues Fleet Foxes He’s only 25 years old, but Fleet Foxes front man Robin Pecknold is struggling with some serious questions about life and death on the band’s second album, Helplessness Blues. All six of the Foxes must be older souls — their warm, bittersweet and often sprawling country-folk ditties are from an era of hippy communes, psychedelic Kenneth Anger films and the original Woodstock. For all of Pecknold’s soul-searching lyrics, the band’s most potent moments are often their instrumental passages. Indeed, the entire album is one transcendental “ahhhhh.”

❚ WHAT’S ON
❚NEW ON DVD/BLU-RAY
Entertaining tale of one king-sized stutter
The King’s Speech Julie CRAWFORD Directed by Tom Now contributor Hooper. Starring Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush and Helena Bonham Carter. My rating: 8 (out of 10) It’s the most famous stutter since Roger Daltrey did it in “My Generation,” in 1965. In this year’s Best Picture, Colin Firth portrays King George VI, who became king unexpectedly after brother Edward relinquished the throne. The younger brother carves out a quiet life for himself, despite a debilitating stutter, a handicap that must be overcome when he takes the throne. Unorthodox Australian therapist Lionel Logue (Geoffrey Rush) is called in, takes the kid gloves off, and seems to badger his king into speaking clearly. Entertaining if not entirely historically accurate, the story of how the king readied himself for the all-important pre-war manthe-ramparts speech to his countrymen is a crowd-pleaser. Firth gives a standout performance as the king (it’s exhausting to silently coax the words out along with him), as does Rush, as the man who refused to be cowed by his patient’s rank and frequent ill-humour. Good special features on the two-disc standard package include commentary by director Tom Hooper, a Q & A with Hooper and cast members, actual speeches from King George VI, a PSA for the Stuttering Foundation, an interview with Lionel Logue’s grandson, and an in-depth
look at the two men’s unlikely friendship.
A Woman, A Gun and a Noodle Shop Directed by Zhang Yimou. Starring Ni Dahong, Yan Ni, Xiao Shenyang and Sun Honglei. My rating: 5 (out of 10) The talented director Zhang Yimou is known for keeping his actors light on their feet (Hero, House of Flying Daggers, Raise the Red Lantern). But in his remake of the Coen brothers’ Blood Simple, Zhang makes several missteps. It’s not that he relocates the story of infidelity and murder to centuries-old rural China (that part is genius). But the film never really finds its footing: it starts off pure slapstick, morphs into a meditative ode to China’s harsh and wondrous desert landscape, and ends in near silence and bloodshed. There’s an abused wife (Yan Ni) who dreams of leaving her cruel husband — noodle shop owner Wang (Ni Dahong) — and running off with her gullible lover (Xiao Shenyang). That dream comes closer to reality when a travelling persian peddlar sells her a gun. But when Wang gets wind of the affair he hires a local policeman (Sun Honglei) to kill them both. Turns out that both the policeman and Wang’s dim-witted kitchen workers (Cheng Ye and Mao Mao) are more interested in Wang’s bulging safe than his marital woes. The framework of the Coen classic is there, including dead guys who refuse to stay that way, but much of the humour is
lost in translation. A Woman, A Gun and a Noodle Shop is likely to find its most appreciative audience in fans of the 1984 original. Over 100 minutes of making-of bonus material is included on the standard disc.
changed, or is she secretly as bitchy as ever? “High school was a horror movie. This weekend is the sequel,” Marni gripes. Much multi-generational cat-fighting ensues. It seems Marni’s mom (Jamie Lee Curtis, overacting at every turn) had a little high school rivalry of her own with Joanna’s aunt (Sigourney Weaver). But wait: there’s a last-minute throw-down between Marni’s granny (Betty White) and an octogenarian rival, proving that petty jealousy has been a dominant female trait through the ages, a rather insulting theme.
You Again Directed by Andy Flickman. Starring Kristen Bell, Jamie Lee Curtis, Sigourney Weaver, Odette Yustman and Betty White. My rating: 3 (out of 10) After a rash of slasher pics, buriedunderground pics and 3D carnage, I was more than ready for a little fluff. But I’d rather sit through Saw: The Final Chapter again than submit myself to the mindcoma that You Again put me in. Kristen Bell’s knack for physical comedy is trampled yet again by an ugly script. Bell plays Marni, an awesomely awkward high school senior who is tormented by the ultimate mean girl (played by Odette Yustman). Skip a few years and Marni comes home for her brother’s wedding, and is alarmed to discover that the same Joanna is the bride. Joanna is all sweetness and light, and doesn’t seem to remember Marni from high school: has she really
Restrepo A film by Sebastian Junger and Tim Hetherington. My rating: 8 (out of 10) Be sure to check out Restrepo, the illuminating documentary by Sebastian Junger and Tim Hetherington that follows a platoon of U.S. soldiers doing a 15-month tour of the Korengal Valley in eastern Afghanistan. The valley is considered the most dangerous posting you can get: the men are shot at daily, like “fish in a barrel” and there isn’t a lot for outpost boredom. The cameras are right there as the platoon builds a tactical outpost, named after a fallen comrade. The goal is to push the road through to the Pech River Valley, because “where the road ends, the Taliban begins.” Humvees are attacked, soldiers die. You can’t get any closer to the action without enlisting.

You still need to eat enough food It may seem counterMike BATES intuitive, but, in my Postmedia News experience, many people struggle with their weight because they’re not eating enough, or not often enough. We all have a certain number of calories that we need to sustain life. For the purpose of this article, I will refer to this number as your resting metabolic rate. This is how many calories you need to live, even if you are lying in bed 24 hours per day. In order to figure out this number, you need to know your ideal or goal weight. This is really up to you. Once you know what this number is, females will multiply the number by 10 and males by 11. Here is an example for a female who is five feet, seven inches tall and wants to weigh 155 pounds: 155 x 10 = 1,550 calories. If you have a sedentary job and are doing light physical activity three to four days a week, you can add about 15 per cent to this number: (1,550 x 0.15) + 1,550 = 1,782 calories. This final number tells us how many calories this woman should be taking in if she wants to maintain or reach a weight of 155 pounds. There are many variables that can change this number, but it’s going to be pretty close for most women who are mildly active and are of average height (90 per cent of population). If you are shorter, older or less active, you will need fewer calories but probably not less than 1,500 calories per day.
The point of all of this is that we all have minimum number of calories we need to take in. If you are consistently going below this number, your body will start to conserve the few calories you do give it, because it will need these precious calories for the critical physiological functions you need to stay alive. When you are doing this to your body, it’s going to do everything it can to hold on to the weight it does have. Not consuming enough calories can have very negative effects on your health, let alone your weight loss goals. Calorie consumption should be spread out through the day, so that you’re eating something every three to four hours. Eating regularly helps to moderate your appetite and your blood-sugar levels, both of which have a huge effect on weight loss. This will also minimize binging throughout the day and night, because you’re so hungry. I meet with clients regularly who are not seeing their weight decrease. After reviewing a food journal that’s missing key serving sizes and food groups, I always educate them on the importance of eating enough healthy food. When they listen to me, they start to see the scale go down almost immediately. Sometimes it takes a couple of weeks for the scale to move, but it always does. Mike Bates is a certified personal trainer and teaches kinesiology at the University of Windsor.

On kids’ time in B.C. Shhhhh, Margo here be PFEIFF Contributor dinosaurs. And whales slapping tails. And wilderness where you can zoom through trees on a cable or splash down whitewater rivers. Heck, there are even castles and gargoyles on a sandy promenade — at least until high tide. Sound like the theme park of your kids’ dreams? Pretty much. For families looking for fun time to share with their children, British Columbia is a really, really big playground.
fish and other 75- to 350million-year-old specimens unearthed in the region. Best of all is heading out at night in the dark on a onekilometre guided lantern tour to see dinosaur footprints: angled lamplight is perfect for illuminating details like the creatures’ skin. An added bonus? Kids aged seven to 13 are sure to dig the museum’s dinosaur day camps, which include learning to excavate and prepare fossils. In the meantime, mom and dad can lace up to explore hiking trails and waterfalls, or wander the moonscape of Boulder Gardens studded with stone pinnacles. Just to the west, the northern B.C. villages of Hazelton, New Hazelton and South Hazelton are perfect for family road tripping, thanks to the area’s deep canyons, lush forests and historic draws. Here, the reconstructed ancient First Nations village of K’san is a must-stop, offering insight into preEuropean contact with its collection of longhouses and groves of still-standing totem poles.
Dinosaur country
Who wouldn’t like a vacation that starts with a prowl through dinosaur country that was discovered by kids? In 2000, two pre-teen boys tubing down a creek near the northern Rockies foothill community of Tumbler Ridge spotted dinosaur tracks imprinted into the stony riverbank. Their discovery led to the Peace Region Palaeontology Research Centre (PRPRC) and its Dinosaur Discovery Gallery with hundreds of bones, tyrannosaur (Albertosaurus) teeth and some of the 1,500 fossilized

Rupert, then hop aboard Seashore Charters’ boat to catch a glimpse of some of the creatures featured on those totems in real life. Watch for orca, and grey and minke whales spouting, and even a few humpbacks breaching clear out of the water. Then take a waterborne safari into the rainforest and feel your heart skip a beat at the sight of grizzly bears in the remote Khutzeymateen Valley bear sanctuary.
Rafting in Lytton
Eager for heart-pounding adventure of a different kind? There’s more adrenalin to be found at Kumsheen Rafting Resort near Lytton. Perched overlooking the historic Thompson River, the family-owned and operated soft adventure retreat features a menu of whitewater
escapades for the energetic 10-and-up crowd. Hang on and scream your way through the Devil’s Gorge section of the river on a raft or learn to paddle your own sit-on-top kayak through easy whitewater. Teens can try rock climbing, rappelling and mountain biking, while adults can rise to the challenge with disc golf or settle in for lazy lounging by the pool. After a fresh gourmet meal in the Cutting Board Restaurant, head for your Gold Rush-era canvas prospector’s tent or tuck yourself into a family teepee — it sleeps four and comes complete with a candle-lit pit in the centre and an open top where you can watch the stars as you drift off to sleep.
and all, there are plenty flickering at guest ranches in wide open ranch land across the province. Slip on a cowboy hat and boots and hit the trail near Cranbrook at Three Bars Guest Ranch, awarded North America’s Best Family Dude Ranch in 2011. Run by the Beckley family, they keep kids as young as six busy learning to ride with the help of pro wranglers, gathering eggs from the chicken coop and toasting marshmallows over a campfire. Older children and adults can add to that repertoire with hiking, river rafting, mountain biking and fly fishing in a classic Rockies landscape where you can hop on a horse and trot into a Wild West sunset, partner.

Okanagan, a “rattlesnake crossing” sign on the roadside is an indication of what lies ahead on an arid stretch of sage-covered hills in Osoyoos. NK’MIP Desert Cultural Centre is built into a hillside with outdoor and indoor galleries that explore the culture, art and history of the Okanagan First Nations as well as the natural curiosities of Canada’s only real desert. Hold a live snake, go on a guided trail walk to look for scorpions and prickly-pear cactus, watch live feedings of nesting bats and peek into the “rattlesnake hotel.” While the kids take part in fun stuff like learning to stomp grapes at the adjoining Spirit Ridge Vineyard Resort & Spa, mum and dad can go wine-tasting next door at NK’MIP (pronounced Inka-meep) Cellars, North America’s first Aboriginal owned and operated winery, or putt around the nine-hole Sonora Dunes golf course where rattlesnakes in the rough are one of the more unique hazards. Still got some steam? Head off and pick your own peaches and cherries or learn to wakeboard or parasail on nearby Osoyoos Lake.

These homes small on space, big on style Narrow Houses, by Terry PETERS Avi Friedman, Princeton Postmedia News Architectural Press, 240 pages) $52. A narrow house is generally defined by having a street-facing width of 25 feet or less. Within the constraints of those dimensions are an abundance of designs. Drawing from buildings around the globe, Avi Friedman presents 28 case studies that exemplify the opportunities that narrow houses offer. Sleek, airy and functional are apt descriptions for these well-designed homes. Their reduced energy consumption, efficient space utilization and smaller land use make them an excellent option today. Each of the 28 structures is presented with a description, colour photographs, list of dimensions and floor plans. Following these homes are nine different townhouse developments, with a mix of new and converted properties. Friedman completes the presentation with a series of essays that focus on design principles, footprints and volumes, and interiors.
Lighting for every occasion The Home Lighting Effects Bible, by Lucy Martin (Firefly Books, 256 pages) $29.95 Every room in your home has different lighting requirements.
What is common to them is the importance of good lighting. Whether it is the need for a well-lit working area in the kitchen or soothing lights for the living room, lights serve more than the basic function of providing illumination. Lucy Martin presents a detailed description on all manner of lighting for the home. More than 400 images illustrate the various styles being discussed. In some cases several photographs are used to demonstrate the different effects of various lighting sources. Lighting for impact, for mood, for practicality and much more are shown through hundreds of different fixtures and free-standing lamps. From wine cellars to master bedrooms, the special requirements of the whole house are discussed.
Author in top form in noir novel The Sentry, by Robert Crais, G.P.Putnam’s Sons, 306 pages, $29.95. Was it the right place and the wrong time or the other way around? For Joe Pike, all that matters is what you do when faced with a situation, so when he saw a robbery in progress he reacted. Seconds later one man is fleeing the scene while his partner lies on the ground with a broken arm. Pike’s instincts are challenged in this latest novel by Robert Crais as the author continues to explore this unique character.
Crais has managed an interesting transition in making the secondary character from his successful Elvis Cole novels into a leading man with Cole now the sidekick. What begins as a Good Samaritan act becomes a dangerous hunt for a bloodthirsty killer. As Pike tries to help, it becomes harder to find the truth and the pressure builds to solve the mystery before another death occurs. Crais starts this story with hurricane force and never lets up as the action unfolds over several days. Latino gangs, federal agents, L.A. cops and a beautiful girl conflict with Pike as hidden agendas collide. This latest noir tale shows Crais in top form as he blends his own take on detective fiction and morality together.
Suicide attempt in chronicled Your Voice in my Head, by Emma Forrest, Random House, 214 pages, $29.95. A dangerous downward spiral that culminated with a failed suicide attempt left
writer Emma Forrest to pick up the pieces. Fortunately, she found an ally in a psychiatrist who made that special connection that lead to recovery. Forest recounts the tale of her journey with unblinking honesty. Through bulimia and cutting Forrest continued hurting herself for years until Dr. R helped her regain control of her life. Her therapy successes allowed her to move forward, fall in love, to relocate from New York to Los Angeles. And then suddenly he was gone, dead to lung cancer and Forrest had to find her way without him. When her love affair with actor Colin Farrell, who she refers to as GH (Gypsy Husband), ends badly she finds herself looking back into the dark precipice and comes dangerously close to falling. This book is much more than just a dedication to Dr. R, it is a tribute to him and the people he helped. Forrest uses their comments to end many of the chapters and his presence hovers in the corners of the stories she tells. Forrest opens herself to the deepest inspection as she recounts her battles with her own demons and the choices she made. Her beautifully crafted writing draws you in no matter what she is describing. This incredibly talented writer whose career began at 16 has taken this very personal experience and shared it. The results are a celebration of survival and ultimately a story of the power of love.

Huskies fall one goal short of title end. We made a phenomenal comeback and it looked like we were going to win it but we ended up getting some bad bounces and it cost us. A deflected free kick in extra time and that was it. But hey, it’s fair play and Charles Best won it.” Dhillon, who will play next season at Simon Fraser University, was named the tournament’s MVP despite playing on the second place team. “The award was nice but it would have been better if we had won the game,” Dhillon said. “I would trade it for the championship banner but it’s still nice to be named MVP. I didn’t expect to get it because normally the MVP comes from the winning team. I thought the award should have gone to Charles Best’s goalkeeper (Brando Ciccone) because he played a really good tournament.” North Delta’s Ishmael Nunez was named to the commissioner’s VI all-star team while Sohal singled out Jag Sangha for his outstanding play in the midfield of the title game.” Surrey was represented in the tournament by the Enver Creek Cougars and the Princess Margaret Lions. The two teams met in the game to determine seventh and eighth place Friday with Enver Creek prevailing 1-0. Timmy Chahal had an outstanding tournament for Enver Creek, scoring six times and missing out on the golden boot award (top scorer) by one goal. Enver Creek goalkeeper Marc Minicieli was named to the commissioner’s alltournament team, as was Amar Hans of Princess Margaret.

The North Michael Delta Huskies BOOTH Sports Editor ran out of comebacks after a tournament filled with emotional highs and lows at the B.C. High School Senior Boys AAA Soccer Championships in Burnaby last week. Originally slated for December, the event was snowed out and later postponed until May after a five-month layoff for all of the qualifying teams. Seeded No. 1, North Delta fell flat on their faces in the first game, but battled back to reach Friday’s title match against defending champion Charles Best of Coquitlam only to be tripped up 3-2 in overtime after another stirring comeback. “It was a roller coaster weekend, that’s for sure,” said Huskies coach Gurpaul Sohal. “We went through some ups and downs but the boys really showed their character all the way through. After the first game it looked like we were out of it and that was a bit of a stressful time for them. They battled back and won some games and made it all the way to the final kick in overtime of the championship game. “The kids could have hung their heads early and quit on the tournament but they didn’t. They picked themselves up and they picked each other up and almost reached their goal.” Five months of rust buildup was plain to see in the Huskies’ tournament opener as they lost 3-2 to St. George’s. One loss is usually enough to relegate a team to also-ran status at the provincials but North Delta stormed back into contention with wins over

North Delta Huskies captain Ryan Dhillon (left) maintains his concentration despite a rough ride from a Charles Best defender during the title game of the B.C. Senior Boys AAA Soccer Championship tourney in Burnaby Friday. Dhillon scored once in a losing cause as Best won 3-2 in OT. ❚PHOTO/Jason Payne — the Province Princess Margaret (5-2) and Claremont 2-0 to finish atop their round-robin pool standings. The Huskies kept the momentum rolling in Thursday afternoon’s semifinals where they topped Sentinel 3-2 to qualify for the final. In Friday afternoon’s deciding game, North Delta dug a huge hole for themselves when they gave up a pair of goals six minutes apart in the first half. The Huskies kept working hard and were rewarded
when Irindeep Kooner scored in the 35th minute to cut the gap to one goal. With North Delta’s defence and goalkeeper Ricky Brar holding Charles Best at bay, the Huskies pulled even in the second half on a goal from team captain Ryan Dhillon. Neither team could break the 2-2 deadlock in the remainder of regulation time but Charles Best got the break they needed in overtime when a Fahim Karmali’s free kick from
the edge of the penalty box was deflected into the net by a North Delta defender for the winning goal. “I really feel bad for our keeper,” Sohal said. “The poor kid made some great saves during the game for us and then it ends like that. He played well in the tournament and was named man of the match in one of our games. “The game itself was awesome. The boys showed great character coming back but it was definitely a disappointing

Lefty’s no-hitter catches scouts’ attention
More Michael BOOTH than a dozen Sports Editor scouts from major league baseball arrived at Whalley Ballpark Sunday to watch Langley Blaze ace Tom Robson, but they departed singing the praises of a different pitcher. Fraser Valley Chiefs lefthander Ty Walker outduelled Robson in the second game of a B.C. Premier Baseball League twin bill, tossing a no-hitter to lead his team to a narrow 1-0 win. Robson almost kept pace with the Sands Secondary lefty, striking out 10 while allowing just one hit, but Walker’s feat against the powerhouse Blaze caught everyone’s attention. “There’s a lot of buzz around the league about how he shut down Langley,” Chiefs general manager Paul Hargreaves said of Walker’s no-no. “Langley had all their boys playing in that game too, they had all four of their (junior) national team players in and he shut them all down. He had a super, super outing with just one walk and 87 pitches. “I gotta say that’s pretty efficient.” Hargreaves added that while
Walker only threw five strike outs, the Chiefs’ defence was rarely challenged to bail out any mistakes made by their pitcher. Walker’s performance was a big boost for the Chiefs players, both with the win in the books and the confidence it gave them in earning a split of the doubleheader. Langley won the first game of the day 4-1. “We have a kind of mystique about Langley,” Hargreaves said. “I don’t know what it is but our guys seem to kind of fear them. So we lost the first game and then we were facing Robson so our guys weren’t too confident about their chances. Then Walker pitches an amazing game and instead of getting swept, our kids were all jacked up. “I could see it still at practise (Tuesday); everybody was loose and there was a lot of levity.” Chiefs’ outfielder Jordan McComb provided the only hit of the game for either team. The Chiefs are back in action this weekend with four games against the North Shore Twins. Fraser Valley hosts a doubleheader Saturday in Whalley before heading to North Vancouver for two more games Sunday.
❚ Elsewhere, the North Delta Blue Jays were rained out of a doubleheader with Nanaimo Saturday, but the Birds took both ends of a twin bill Sunday against visiting North Shore. North Delta edged the Twins 6-5 in the first game before completing the sweep with a 7-4 win in the second contest.
PAUL HARGREAVES/ “Then Walker pitches an amazing game and instead of getting swept, our kids were all jacked up.” “The kids showed up to play in both games,” said Blue Jays general manager Bob Burkmar. “The team seems to be starting to gel and we’ve found a combination that seems to work for us. I can’t say enough about how well our catchers (Matt Pentland and Tyler Pentland) played in those games; they really helped out the pitchers a lot.” In Game 1, pitcher Nolan Ramsden put in a solid showing in his first start of the year, striking out five while allowing just three hits in five innings of work. Nick Crema picked up the
win in relief while Bryan Elias got the final out to earn the save. The Jays made a series of changes for the second game, inserting some junior call-ups into the lineup to gain experience at the premier level. The moves paid off as youngsters Chris Nelson and Soma Sasaki performed well at the plate and in the field in support of starting pitcher Doug Strohan. The senior pitcher allowed one earned run in six innings of work while striking out five to get the win. Shane Wlodarczak pitched the final inning in relief for the Blue Jays. The Blue Jays head overseas this weekend with two games in Nanaimo Saturday followed by a Parksville doubleheader Sunday. ❚ Wet weekend weather conspired against the White Rock Tritons, canceling a Saturday doubleheader against the Twins. White Rock finally took the field Sunday where they split two games with the visiting Parksville Royals at South Surrey Athletic Park. In the first game, White Rock scored two runs in the first inning and added four more in the third to cruise to a comfortable 8-1 win. Josh Sigurdson,
Jackson Temple, Evan Douglas and Brandon Novak all hit doubles to power the Tritons’ attack. Josh Larsen pitched all seven innings to earn the win for White Rock. The wheels fell off for the Tritons late in the second game of the day as the Twins broke open a close 2-1 contest with five unanswered runs in the seventh inning to win going away 7-1.
BOB BURKMAR/ “The team seems to be starting to gel and we’ve found a combination that seems to work for us.” Righthander Joel Lamont started the game for White Rock and worked five innings with just one earned run. The Tritons’ bullpen struggled for the final two innings as White Rock needed four pitchers to get the final six outs. The Tritons play in Parksville Saturday and then return home for a Sunday twin bill against the Victoria Mariners beginning at 11 a.m.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Money matters heat up – strive to meet schedules, deadlines. There are profit or good earnings here, but even more, present efforts, money accomplishments and new money directions can lead to a whole year of grand financial results, beginning next month! Often, the best actions are preceded by planning, preparation. Do these now, while your mood and optimism, wisdom and view, are high and accurate. This week is mostly successful, but avoid self-deception Wednesday morning, electricity Thursday eve, and “partnership finances” before 9 a.m. Friday. Sex, finances good Monday. Taurus April 20-May 20: Your energy and charisma climb higher, as Mars entered your sign last Wednesday, and Venus and Mercury enter Sunday. These are the three planets involved in 90 per cent of all romance, socializing and popularity – so expect yours to climb! (And in 21days Jupiter also enters Taurus, bringing big luck, the kind that sparks life-changing events.) Use this week to press forward with new or significant projects. Sunday/ Monday bring opportunities, but demand cooperation, diplomacy. Finances, intimacy, bonding and commitment draw you mid-week. Wisdom, gentle love Thursday onward. Gemini May 21-June 20: This is your last week of weariness, quietude and solitude, and of being ignored. Endure it with good humour. We all have our surges and our ebbing. Starting Saturday (end of this week) your energy will increase, and you’ll have a few weeks to take things “over the hump” – to succeed, impress and solve. The best time will be May 21 to June 3, so be prepared to act quickly and fortunately to make a major wish come true. Use this week to plan your late-May actions. Prepare, get paperwork or government or bank records in order. Be charitable. Fulfill obligations. Rest, eat sensibly.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Romance calls Sunday/ Monday! So do pleasure, arts, creativity, sports, speculation. But work arrives Tuesday to Thursday noon. Plunge in, you’ll get it done easily. Thursday noon to Saturday is both the most important and the luckiest part of this week. Opportunities, exciting meetings, new horizons, success with the public and in contract negotiations, even love can appear. But you need to be co-operative, diplomatic and eager, as others hold the winning cards. Handle irritations Thursday twilight, Friday morning, and mid-afternoon Saturday. Dreams can come true this week! Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Continue to strive ambitiously. Show higher-ups what you’re capable of, finish projects and duties without slacking. Your performance is being watched closely. Over the weeks ahead, if anything, your career heats up. Within less than a month, a great current of luck enters this area (status, prestige, ambitions) to stay for a year. Start ramping up – big things lie ahead for those who are eager and hard-working! But first, take a rest Sunday/Monday; prepare your foundations, give your family support and attention. Romance, pleasure call mid-week. Tackle chores Thursday onward. Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Your gentle, compassionate mood continues. It has begun to generate an important idea, project or situation (or relationship). This important thing will grow smaller yet more focused and concentrated over the next few weeks – then, like a sponge in water, swell to absorb more and more of your life and attention, from June to June 201112. Important thing = higher education, international travel or dealings, a major cultural ritual (wedding, etc.) a lawsuit or legal dealing, communication, media or publishing, religion, or finding a life philosophy... and, love. Romance, late week.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: A huge wave of luck is just around the corner in investments, debt reduction, lifestyle change, health/diagnosis, research, intimacy and sexual bonding, pregnancy and similar lifechanging zones. These things have already impacted your life, pressing on you like a grey velvet hand, for the last three years in an upheaval way, for 18 months in a sober, “let me be secure” way, for the last three weeks in a hopeful way; and now to June 4 in a focused, event-triggering way. On June 4, a whole year of “big luck” starts here. Get ready to invest, change, commit! Fortune might lie at a distance. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Relationships, previously lively, grow serious, focused. Issues become clear. You could fall in love, note someone’s looks, or renew sparks with your mate. Opportunities arise in work, machinery, finances and social life. These are the precursors, or wee beginnings, of really major opportunities that arrive June 2011 to June 2012. Right now (in May) these are “pure chemistry” attractions/opportunities, but June onward they will tend to be connected to money, earnings, possessions. You could hop on the wagon to the mint! Propose, seize the day, Sunday/Monday and Friday! Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: The work is starting to come. The past few weeks have just been “ordinary work.” Now, the chores become clearer, more significant. From June 2011 to June to 2012, your luck will grow in this area, but your duties will expand, too. (It’s not “get out of work” luck.) You’ll be lucky, also (June onward) in machinery, so this will be a good time to buy a car/computer, to learn tooling skills, etc. You will almost certainly earn more money (unless you’re in school, etc.). Watch your health, especially thighs and hips. Rest Sunday/ Monday. You shine mid-week. Money late week!

May 15 - 21, 2011 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The general emphasis lies on romance, pleasure, beauty, creativity, charming kids, speculation. Take a risk, express yourself! All these pleasurable things shrink but grow more “intense” over the next few weeks; then they will swell larger and larger for 12 months. Hopefully you’ve done all you can for your security by now: if not, tie up any loose ends (e.g., property deals, retirement plans, investments, family issues). The future year will not reward caution! Optimism, social joys early week, rest mid-week. Your energy and charisma shine late week – approach someone! Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: The security, domestic, real estate, family, restful, contemplative, natureoriented, soul and nutrition themes that have run through recent weeks continue: but they tend to produce events now through June 2012, lucky events. The best will come after early June. This can be huge luck: a home of your own, or additional real estate, a new family, a new child, the resolution of old problems, dissolution of old skeletons (yes, therapy will be productive). You can leave behind a life of constriction and worry, for a new, bright one! Saturday begins a month of pleasure! Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Travel, communications, paperwork, details, casual friends and siblings – these fill the days, even more so now. In the 13 months ahead, you might take two or more significant trips. You’ll do a lot of talking about your career or ambitions, but you won’t do much about them. (It’s as though you sense something deeper, bigger, “fuller” is coming by 2012/13...could be! Could be pregnancy if you’re the right age.) Sunday/Monday feature far travel, rituals, gentle love, wisdom. Ambition, higherups demand your attention midweek. Wish fulfillment, social joys Thursday-Saturday! timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014

❚AUTOMOTIVE ❚MAINTENANCE
Spring clean your ride
Ah, springtime. The days are getting longer, leaves are starting to sprout, and the great thaw begins. With this shift in weather comes the promise of warm summer driving and the time to prep your favorite ride for the road. You should begin by washing the exterior of your vehicle, and be sure to clean underneath to remove the corrosive salt, chemicals and grime that build up from winter driving. Use a high pressure hose, paying close attention to wheel wells and bumpers. Next, have your tires changed and rotated to ensure best performance and safety on the roads. While winter tires work best in the snow, they can accelerate and brake poorly and offer reduced tread life on dry asphalt. Spring is the best time to swap back to your performance–oriented summer or all–season tires, storing your winter set for later. Just like your tires, the fluids in your vehicle need to be checked each spring to ensure proper engine performance throughout the seasons. Chances are the radiator in your vehicle uses an extended– life antifreeze coolant to prevent it from freezing. Check the coolant level and quality, and consider flushing the radiator if necessary. Most vehicles require fresh coolant every 240,000 km.
While you’re at it, be sure to check your oil and top up the rest of your fluids. The most common grade of engine oil in Canada is 5W30 which should perform well under both winter and summer driving conditions. Consult your owner’s manual for the recommended grade and quality of oil for your vehicle, and perform an oil and oil filter change at the recommended intervals to provide year–round protection. Beyond these measures, helping keep your engine running at its best this spring is as easy as filling up with a high–quality gasoline. “Gasoline primarily contains carbon and hydrogen molecules, and combustion can create a residue, called “gunk”, which is a build–up of carbon particles on critical engine parts,” says Ken Mitchell, an Engineer from Shell Canada. “This gunk has a porous surface that can negatively affect combustion and the performance of your vehicle. Some high–quality fuels, like all three grades of Shell’s Nitrogen Enriched Gasolines, clean and protect critical engine parts from the build–up of gunk while you drive.” After you’ve cleaned it from the inside out, take your ride out for a spin to feel the engine roar to life. Think about your summer road trips to come, and enjoy the ride. www.newscanada.com

Now that the warm weather is here it’s time to think about removing your snow tires and reinstalling the summer set. The trigger to installing summer tires versus the winter tire is the ambient temperature. The magic number is 44 degrees Celsius. If the average temperature is below 44 degrees snow tires have a definite advantage. The rubber is compounded to remain soft in the cold temperature allowing more flex which translates into more control. In cold temperatures snows have the advantage.
I ran into a serious issue I think your readers should be aware of. My car is an 05 Chrysler Crossfire. It has a Tire Pressure Monitor installed in it. The original wheels are alloy. For the winter I purchased steel wheels to mount my snows on. Turns out I have to purchase a set of TPMS sensors for the wheels at an outrageous price. I just wanted to warn others of my dilemma. The tire pressure monitor system was legislated by the government in an attempt to help drivers maintain the air pressure in their cars. It’s a great idea. Maintaining tire pressures is a serious safety issue. However, in some states it’s not legal to drive with this system not operating. This is not the case in Canada. Another interesting fact, on some vehicles the traction control will not function without TPMS working. So before committing to winter rims check out how the tire pressure monitoring system works on your vehicle. Dave
Over 44 degrees and the softer rubber compounded escalates tire wear. Run your snows in the summer and they will just plain burn out. Summer tires on the other hand are compounded to be harder enabling them to operate at higher temperatures for extended periods. No burn out, longer lasting and better control. When the average temperature hits 44 degrees Celsius, it’s time to make http://doctorh.mechanicnet.com your move and remove your snow tires.

The top five insurance 1-888-903-1382 tips for young drivers www.jptoyota-surrey.com
1) Make sure you’re covered. First things first, young drivers need to ensure that they have adequate insurance coverage to protect them and their car in the event of an accident. Many insurers provide discounts if you insure more than one vehicle or have home or renter’s insurance with them. To find out more about insurance pricing, check online; many insurers, like TD Insurance, offer free quotes. 2) Take a driver’s education course. Not only will this help young drivers improve their skills on the road, it often qualifies them for a discount on car insurance. 3) Know your limits. It’s important for all drivers to
avoid speeding and make sure that they are familiar with their route before hitting the road. Teen drivers should also limit the number of passengers and keep music down until they’re more comfortable behind the wheel. 4) Be prepared. Young drivers should know when their car is due for a tune-up and pay attention to changes that might signal a problem. Still, surprises on the road sometimes happen. It’s important to know how to change a tire and jump start the car in case of an emergency. 5) Get set before you hit the gas Before heading out on the road, young drivers should get comfortable and ensure that they are familiar with their surroundings. The focus should be on driving, not adjusting your seat or mirrors, looking for the lights or fiddling with your seat belt.

Techno tags can make your life a lot easier Tag it so you don’t Lowell CONN lose it Postmedia News The Cobra Tag uses Bluetooth capability to make sure consumers do not lose their car keys. The product is a small tag sensor that attaches to the keychain and communicates with a phone app, sending an alert if the sensor is separated too far away from the phone. As a backup, the Cobra Tag also records GPS location and the time when the item was lost, sending this data via email or text message to its owner. It will also act as a two-way finder
– when the button on the sensor is pressed, the phone running the app will ring. This is a simple and reasonably costeffective way to keep track of car keys and could even double as a car tracking system – except for the fact that by the time you return to the location where the tag has recorded the car as stolen, your car should theoretically no longer be there. Just don’t lose both your car keys and your smartphone at the same time or else you are on your own. $60; visit cobra.com.
Co-ordinate better road terror Imagine how much better those bike gangs could have terrorized Wrightsville, if they’d had SENA’s SMH10 motorcycle Bluetooth headset. It attaches to existing helmets, mounting on the exterior with two speakers that run inside, and features a microphone that extends close to the mouth. It has a big jog dial designed for use by people wearing gloves, an audio booster designed for use while moving at 100 kilometres an hour outdoors and it’s water resistant, so you need not worry about your investment going south when

# Winter driving can take a toll on your car, so it’s important to conduct spring maintenance to keep it running safely and reliably. Experts at Canadian Tire suggest the following tips to ensure your car is tuned up and ready for spring: ❚ Remove winter tires and replace them with all-season tires. Winter tires can wear down quickly if left on in the warm weather. Make sure your tires are balanced and aligned for a smooth ride. ❚ Wash excess salt, sand and dirt from the body of the car, especially the undercarriage. If left un-washed, this can lead to rust. After washing, polish your car with a protective wax to protect the paint and keep it looking like new. ❚ Check and fill up car fluids as needed, including windshield washer fluid, engine oil, transmission fluid and coolant. ❚ Replace wiper blades to eliminate streaks and ensure proper visibility. ❚ Take your car to a certified service expert for a complete spring tune-up and checkup to identify any potential issues that could impact the life of your vehicle.

to when the Q3 will be offered in Canada. Audi also introduced the A3 e-tron Concept, a plug-in hybrid four-door sedan, which it claims will be able to achieve a fuel consumption rating of 2.2 litres per 100 kilometres. Power comes by way of a turbocharged 1.4-litre TFSI four-cylinder rated at 211 hp as well as a 20kilowatt (27 hp) electric motor. The 2013 Chevrolet Malibu also premiered here, representing the first global mid-sized sedan for General Motors as it will be sold in more than 100 countries. The car is shorter but wider than the previous model and its styling borrows a few cues from other Chevy models, such as the Camaro, particularly toward the back of the car. Power will come by way of 2.0L and 2.4L four-cylinder engines mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox. The Buick Envision SUV Concept provides a glimpse as to the styling of the future Enclave, although the large scissor doors will never make the transition from concept to production, nor will the carbon-fibre chassis. Created as a joint venture between Shanghai GM and the Pan Asia Automotive Technical Center, the Envision has clearly been designed for the Chinese market and features a 2.0L direct-injection gasoline engine coupled to two electric motors. For those who think the Mini Cooper is the right size but who also want more luxury, Mini has come up with the “Inspired by Goodwood” variant, which features a cabin laid out in Cornsilk and Nappa leathers as well as walnut burr wood trim and thick-pile carpeting, all borrowed from the Rolls-Royce catalogue. Only 1,000 of these special Minis will be offered. Over at Volvo, now under the control of Chinese automaker Geely, the showpiece is the new Universe Concept, which Volvo CEO Stefan Jacoby calls “a sneak preview of what people can expect from our next top-ofthe-line sedan.” It is a large car with a coupelike roofline and a new style of grille that is a complete departure for the Swedish automaker.
