❚GUILDFORD/Surrey man fed up with neighbourhood that ‘looks like hell’

❚CRASH

A ‘MANICURED’ DUMPSITE

Mayor Watts resting, on mend

City starts clean up after Brian Fowler blows whistle on garbage

Ted COLLEY Staff Reporter

The view from Brian Fowler’s front window isn’t pretty. In fact, it’s a disgrace. Fowler lives in the 15400-block of 99A Avenue in a home he and his wife bought there in 1986. It’s one of 11 houses built back then along the south side of 99A. More homes were supposed to be built on the other side of the avenue, but that never happened and the large parcel of privately owned land opposite Fowler’s place remains undeveloped. The land, from 99A to 100th Avenue on the north and from 154th Avenue to 156th on the west, is overgrown with brush and scrub trees 15 to 20 feet high. It’s also a huge, unofficial dumpsite. The whole parcel is strewn with junk and a litter of old car parts hides at the centre of the plot. A week ago, the landowners, prompted by the city, sent a crew to trim the brush back from the edges of the property. “It looks like hell,” Fowler said when the Now paid a visit last Friday.

Surrey’s Brian Fowler sits among some of the trash that was exposed when the owners trimmed the overgrown brush back from the edges of a Guildford property. ❚PHOTO/Brian Howell “They were supposed to clear a 10-foot swath all the way around. Some of it’s six feet and some of it’s 100 feet.” A remarkable amount of garbage was exposed when the brush was cut back from the road, junk that now lines the edge of the street where Fowler put it. “Everything you see here,” he said, gesturing at the roadside, “was in the 10-foot strip. I pulled it out.” Fowler and his neigh-

bours were angry that city hall didn’t seem concerned about the mess, that officials didn’t even seem to think there was a mess. “A bylaws officer for this area was here and looked at the work that was done, the brush cutting. She told me, and I quote, that this property looked ‘manicured.’ Manicured, for God’s sake,” Fowler said. The only part of the perimeter that looks wellkept is a strip opposite an elementary school at the

corner of 99A and 156th Street, two blocks from Fowler’s home. “We want something done about this. I talked to the head of bylaws and he told me it would be two weeks before he could tell me what, if anything, can be done. That’s just not good enough.” On Monday, Surrey city manager Murray Dinwoodie had some good news for Fowler and the other residents for 99A Avenue. “I talked to the man-

ager of bylaw and he tells me the property owner seems co-operative. My understanding is she will begin action today on the cleanup and it should be completed over the next few days,” Dinwoodie said. He also said he will instruct city operations crews to regularly tidy up the road allowances along the property’s edge. “Between those two things, I think that should help.” tcolley@thenow newspaper.com

Surrey’s mayor is recovering at home from injuries sustained in a car accident Friday night. Mayor Dianne Watts and husband, Brian, were heading home from a civic event around 11 p.m. when their SUV was struck at the intersection of 24th Avenue and 128th Street. Watts and her husband were taken to hospital and later released. The mayor has a cracked rib and both she and Brian suffered soft tissue injuries. The lone occupant of the other vehicle was also treated in hospital. “She’s resting,” Brian Watts told the Now Monday morning. “She’s on the mend. I’m stiff and sore, but I’m OK.” Tara Foslien handles communications for the mayor’s office. She said Watts was heading home from a “work function” when the accident occurred. Foslien didn’t know what the function was or where it was held. “I think she’s in a lot of pain right now with the cracked rib. The doctors have told her not to move so the ribs will heal. As for how long she’ll be away, your guess is a good as mine.” Wishes for a speedy recovery flooded Watts’ Facebook page.

Lack of free alternatives to tolls is ‘sickening’ Tom ZYTARUK Staff Reporter

A Surrey NDP MLA charges the Liberal government with betraying local commuters by failing to provide a realistic free alternative to toll bridges across the Fraser River. Surrey-Newton MLA Harry Bains says the government has broken its promise to ensure motorists will have a practical alternative after the Pattullo and Port Mann Bridges are tolled, like the Golden Ears Bridge. The next bridge downstream after those three bridges is the Alex Fraser, but Bains says the Liberals are “playing with people’s intelligence” if they expect Guildford residents who work in Coquitlam to drive well out of their way to the Alex Fraser in North Delta to avoid paying a toll. Bains noted that the time wasted and money spent, not to mention extra gas burned, not only makes such an alternative nonsensical, but would also result in more pollution, as well as more traffic congestion in North Delta. “That is not a free alternative...it’s not realistic and it’s not practical,” Bains told the Now. “It’s really sickening – people south of the Fraser are really getting whacked by this government as far as transportation is concerned.” Bains advises Surrey residents to “pick up the phone,” call provincial transportation minister Shirley Bond and tell her “enough is enough.” Bains asked Bond about the matter in the legislative assembly in Victoria this past Thursday and she replied that the South Fraser Perimeter Road would significantly reduce travelling time to the Alex Fraser. Bains was not impressed. “Can you imagine?” he told the assembly. “The minister says that is a free alternative. Somebody lives on the south side of Port Mann Bridge and needs to just cross over to work or go to the office, and now they have to travel seven, eight miles one way and then cross the Alex Fraser Bridge and come back... that is not a free alternative.”

Surrey biofuel plant project gets green light Surrey will soon be converting garbage to gas – natural gas – once a Metro Vancouver biofuel-processing plant is built here. The project was given the goahead at last Friday’s meeting of the Metro Vancouver board. The

plant, which will be the region’s first, will produce natural gas from food and yard waste collected in the region. According to a city press release, the resultant gas will be used to fuel Surrey’s garbage trucks.

The proposed plant will be built in Port Kells, next to the transfer station, and will process 80,000 metric tonnes of waste per year, moving the region closer to its target of diverting 70 per cent of its waste from landfills by 2015.

A spokesperson for the mayor’s office said a request for proposal will be issued in the coming months and at this point there is no cost estimate for the project nor is there a target completion date. – Ted Colley

❚EDUCATION/High school dropout gives Kwantlen $2.5 million

MONEY OPENS DOORS FOR SURREY STUDENTS Ted COLLEY Staff Reporter

A high school dropout who got a second chance at higher education has given $2.5 million to Kwantlen Polytechnic University to help others find the same opportunity. Irving “Ike” Barber left school in Grade 11, but was able to attend university through veteran’s benefits after serving in the Second World War. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in forestry from UBC in 1950. Barber, who founded Slocan Forest Products, credited his university education for the successes in his life.

IRVING BARBER/ “I want this money to open the doors of post-secondary education to a segment of our society that would never otherwise attend university.” Nearly 58 per cent of students who enrolled at Kwantlen in 2007/08 did not meet the admission requirements for a traditional university. Kwantlen welcomes such students and Barber’s endowment will provide support services to help them succeed. Among other services available, students who lack full academic

A seven-year-old White Rock girl airlifted to hospital Sunday is recovering after a rope became wrapped around her neck while she was playing on a slide in her backyard. “It was obviously an accident, we’re trying to figure out exactly what happened,” said Const. Janelle Shoihet, of the White Rock RCMP. Police and a BC Ambulance crew were called to the house in the 1400-block of Best Street just before 6 p.m. The girl, identified as Misty Sandhoff, was airlifted to BC Children’s Hospital, in critical condition. On Tuesday the hospital issued a press release that Sandhoff was in fair condition, and that her vital signs “are stable and within normal limits.”

Newton house party ends in back-stabbing

qualification for university can take a high-school equivalency course while beginning their universitylevel studies at Kwantlen. The money will fund programs to help students make the transition to university, starting with academic assessment at entrance to Kwantlen, to monitoring and follow-up assessments, tutoring, supplementary instruction and seminars. “I want this money to open the doors of post-secondary education to a segment of our society that would never otherwise attend university,” Barber said.

A 33-year-old man suffering serious stab wounds after getting into a fight with another man early Sunday morning at a house party in Newton was rushed to Royal Columbian Hospital. Surrey RCMP Const. Paul Neily said police were called to a house near 138th Street and 68th Avenue at about 12:30 a.m., heard screaming and found the victim. He’d been stabbed in the back. Police arrested a man in his 20s but by press time did not reveal if he’d been charged.

The money will be paid to the university over five years and Kwantlen University Kwantlen’s chief advancement officer, Peter Norris, said the endowment will be self-sustaining. “Once all the funds are in, it will just be the interest that is used to fund the programs,” he said. Kwantlen is an open-access university serving a wide range of students including Aboriginal students, international and mature students, those in financial need or with disabilities. Kwantlen also offers trades and professional programs. tcolley@thenownewspaper.com

Alcohol not factor in Watts’ crash: police “Tell me it only hurts when you laugh,” wrote Aman Uppal. As the mayor’s injuries heal, the police investigation into the crash continues. Surrey RCMP Const. Peter Neily said the SUV was eastbound on 24th and the other vehicle, a sedan, was heading north on 128th Street when the collision occurred.

❚BRIEFS

“The driver of the eastbound SUV sustained serious injuries and the passenger’s injuries were minor. The lone occupant of the other vehicle also sustained serious injuries,” Neily said. None of the injuries, he added, is life-threatening. He said he could not name any of those involved in Friday’s accident, but it’s believed the mayor was driving the SUV.

Neily said the investigation is ongoing and could not say if charges will be laid. “We do have information that the eastbound SUV was proceeding on a green light. There is no indication at this time that alcohol was involved.” Coun. Judy Villeneuve will fill in as acting mayor in Watts’ absence. tcolley@thenow newspaper.com

Wrong radio station In a recent story (Float got OK from police chief, councillors say, pg. A03, Friday, April 23, 2010) the Now incorrectly identified RedFM as the radio station on which comments were made about MLA Dave Hayer and MP Ujjal Dosanjh not being welcome at Surrey’s Vaisakhi parade. In fact, the comments were broadcast on Sher-e-Punjab. The Now regrets the error. – The Now

❚ NEWS ❚COMMUNITY/Grand opening of new Maxxine Wright Centre

More help for at-risk women and children The first part of a Carolyn COOKE supportive housing Staff Reporter project for women and children celebrated its official grand opening Friday. The Maxxine Wright Centre caters specifically to women who are pregnant or have young children and are homeless or at risk of homelessness, many of whom also face other barriers such as abuse or substance abuse issues. The new centre has 12 short-term stay beds, a pre- and postnatal clinic, drop-in centre, day care, community kitchen and access to clothing and counselling. Phase 2, currently under construction

The new Maxxine Wright Centre.

next to the first building in the 13700block of 92nd Avenue in Surrey, will feature 24 transitional apartments. It is expected to be completed late next year. The $17.9-million project was made possible by funding from the federal, provincial and city governments as well as Atira Women’s Resource Society, which manages and operates the Maxxine Wright Centre. “The opening of this centre marks an exciting day for our board, staff, community partners and most importantly, the women and children who will benefit from the support and stability of the Maxxine Wright Centre,” said Janice

Abbott, executive director and CEO of Atira. Atira provided land equity and mortgage funding, worth more than $1.4 million. The centre first opened in much smaller quarters eight years ago. Maxxine Wright was a woman who faced many of the same barriers as the women the centre aims to help. She fled an abusive relationship with her young child, and worked to make positive changes in her life with the support of Atira’s programs. Wright died of breast cancer on July 27, 2002. ccooke@thenownewspaper.com

❚OUR VIEW

Do we really need to order doctors to report shootings? further violence, injury or death.” Is this a novel idea? One expects such a response would have already been in practice ever since health care, shootings and stabbings were invented. Common decency and good citizenry would dictate such a response from health-care workers, regardless of the law, and it’s a sad reflection on our society that mandatory reporting need be legislated.

“The B.C. Medical Association is in full support of legislation that enhances public safety and prevents further injury,” said Dr. Brian Brodie, president of the B.C. Medical Association. Hooray for that endorsement. Too bad doctors and nurses didn’t come up with the idea themselves. After all, they are in the caring business. – The Now

❚POLITICS

Pressure will build for NDP to step up

The B.C. Liberal government’s announcement that the Site C dam project on the Peace River would go to the Keith next stage of the BALDREY approval process may have revealed a subtle, yet important, shift in how people – and the media – perceive our two major political parties. Aside from the predictable reaction – environmentalists oppose Site C while the business community endorsed it – what was most interesting was how quickly the story faded from the so-called “news cycle.” The B.C. Liberals, mired in unpopularity, appear to have a severely weakened ability to set and control the agenda. The government hasn’t really come up with many new ideas and policies (other than the dreaded HST) since the election, and a lack of revenue shackles any kind of spending spree. The Site C announcement was almost a one-day story for most news outlets and even the environmental lobbyists didn’t sound overly agitated about the issue. I wonder how much of this

InTheHouse

ViewPoint

now

Better late than never, eh? On Monday, the provincial government proudly announced that a “new act” will now require healthcare workers to report shootings and stabbings to the police. “For the first time in B.C.,” the government release states. This new legislation applies to hospitals, doctors’ offices and walkin clinics, and aims to help police “take immediate steps to prevent

reaction is linked to the impression that so many people appear to have: that Premier Gordon Campbell, and probably his party as well, are stuck so low in the polls that there is little prospect for recovery. Therefore, it’s hard to take seriously any promise about a project (such as Site C) that is so far in the future that a completely different party will be in charge by the time construction actually begins. In fact, I get the feeling that many people simply have stopped listening to the B.C. Liberals and have effectively tuned them out. I’ve always said a government in significant decline is no longer given the benefit of the doubt by the public it purports to serve and, therefore, its recovery is made that much more difficult. When that mindset takes hold, governments pay dearly. We saw that with the Social Credit party in 1991, the NDP in 2001 and we may be witnessing it now with the B.C. Liberals. These kinds of attitudes may explain why Campbell and his government got absolutely no bounce in the polls in the aftermath of the gloriously successful Winter Games, which electrified the public. I realize the next election is still

three years away, which admittedly is a very long time in politics. However, the Socreds were dead in the water well before the vote in 1991, and the NDP was on life support even before the RCMP raided then-premier Glen Clark’s home in the spring of 1999. In each case, both parties chose new leaders and put the election call off as long as possible, but their demise was sealed. And so the B.C. Liberals will also play for time, and may well end up choosing a new leader – one that is clearly different, and in so doing regains the public’s attention and confidence. In the meantime, however, pressure will gradually build on the New Democratic Party to provide some clear, specific alternatives to B.C. Liberal policies. Other than a Pavlovian-like tendency to demand that money get thrown at pretty much everything, New Democrats have avoided being pinned down on any particular issue. The party’s energy critic, John Horgan, took a tentative stab at defining the NDP’s position on Site C (the party is opposed to it, but is willing to be persuaded to back it if specific concerns are met). As murky as that position is, it

is one of the more specific positions the NDP has taken on anything. The party is unclear, for example, what exactly it would do with the HST. New Democrats may be signing the anti-HST petition in droves, but if they take power in 2013 there is no indication they would do anything with the HST itself. But eventually, as much as people may have tuned out the B.C. Liberals, they will begin demanding to hear something from the NDP. Party leader Carole James, who has taken a low profile in recent months, will be pressured to come up with some ideas of her own. The NDP is currently obeying the old political adage that says if a government is falling, the Opposition simply has to get out of the way. At some point, however, the Opposition has to show it’s ready to govern. People are going to start looking at the NDP seriously, especially if the B.C. Liberals keep drifting along ever closer to that cliff. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC. KBaldrey@globaltv.com

Headline summed up the controversy

Axe parade – and don’t play race card

The Editor, Re: “No appetite for leaders who detract from Vaisakhi,” the Now, April 23. I want to congratulate you because you love Vaisakhi. Secondly, I appreciate your clarification regarding the paraphrasing “hornet’s nest.” You proved that you are really a professional journalist. I know that every profession has its own language to explain and conclude the issue. As a journalist, you named the whole controversy, tension and frustration in one paraphrasing language. You must know that the people who are twisting the meaning of the paraphrase are not journalists. The organizers of the event should be committed to a real sense of the celebration. They should avoid the misuse of this very important day for their political motives.

The Editor, Re: “No appetite for leaders who detract from Vaisakhi,” the Now, April 23. Sorry folks, there is really only one politically incorrect thing to do. The correct thing to do is this: do not allow the annual Vaisakhi celebration to function. The Indo-Canadian community can only blame themselves. And please do not play the race card; the rest of Surrey and B.C. are growing tired of it.

Thanks for exposing opportunists

The Editor, Re: “No appetite for leaders who detract from Vaisakhi,” the Now, April 23. Thanks for the clarification. However, knowing that some of your readers will “take it and run,” I believe refraining from such a headline will keep such controversies out of Surrey. Moreover, I do believe the Now did not portray a positive feel of Vaisakhi this year as they usually do. The good stories or the big smiles on a child’s face did not make it in the paper. Thanks for leading on the negative emotions.

“We are the Difference”

Q A

How much does it cost to update or redesign pieces using mostly the original material? This is a great question for us because we have carved this out as our market niche. We are able to use your original pieces or new materials and make up almost any design you can dream of. In designing new pieces we work from variations of our in store pieces, photos, pencil drawings (Charlene is our great artist), computer aided drawings, wax patterns and mounts with no stones.

Dr. Rod LeBlanc

Q A

I would like to play music in several rooms of my home but I don’t want to see big bulky speakers.

Come see us for the latest offerings of in-wall or in-ceiling speaker that will deliver excellent sound performance that can even be color matched with the room decor.

The cost of doing this starts as low as $150.00 for a plain ﬂat band. The average cost if we hand carve a wax, cast and ﬁnish it with a few stones set in, will be from $350 to $550 depending how intricate the design is. A 40 gram bangle that we just made using the customers old gold cost her $350 and appraised for over $3500.00.

As always our on-site experts will aid in design and make it easy for you to understand. Plus feel free to ask about our in-home installation services. We can make it stress free!

With the price of gold being so high it is a great time to use your old broken pieces and combine it all into one beautiful new design that you will be able to wear and enjoy.

TCM, R. Ac

A balanced exercise program is vital to leading a healthy lifestyle, many of us don’t realize the importance of proper breathing and stretching. Sports injuries, repetitive strains, or feelings of anxiety and stress all lead to muscle pain and aches. The simple act of stretching the muscles prior to and after exercising will help to avoid much unnecessary discomfort. The act of breathing deeply and with intention is essential not only for our physical well-being but will also do wonders for our emotional and mental health. Try it now: Take a slow, deep breath right down into your lower abdominals, below your belly button. This causes the diaphragm to descend, which in turn stimulates the kidneys and adrenal glands. Exhale slowly and with controlled intention. Tell yourself to relax the back, shoulders and legs. The exhalation should take twice as long as the inhalation. To prevent hyperventilation, be slow and rhythmic and stop if you feel dizzy.You have just engaged your entire central nervous system in a restorative moment. Doesn’t that feel good? To learn more about proper breathing and stretching techniques, try a Qi Gong class with Dr. Rod Leblanc.

With advancements in technology some of today’s in wall/in ceiling speakers give traditional box speakers a run for their money. These “invisible” style speakers produce rich details and crystal clear music even for the most demanding listener. At AudioVideo Unlimited we are proud to carry some of today’s best brands and options for your selection.

The Editor, Re: “No appetite for leaders who detract from Vaisakhi,” the Now, April 23. You are 100 per cent correct when you say what is supposed to be a great and inclusive event for every man, woman and child regardless of colour, religion or ethnic background is being hijacked by selfish fools. Certain people’s true colours are being exposed, thanks to you and other journalists who speak out, ask pertinent questions and demand the truth. Instead of having a backbone and demanding what is right and just, they try to shove their own tainted agendas down the silent majority’s collective throats. These so-called community “leaders” are nothing but charlatans and I beg journalists and honest individuals to keep up the fight to expose them for what they truly are: pathetic opportunists.

Letters

The Editor, Re: “No appetite for leaders who detract from Vaisakhi,” the Now, April 23. I am most appreciative of Managing Editor Beau Simpson’s column in Friday’s Now. Simpson makes some very good points, especially about editorial/journalistic licence. I would call this whole incident a “can of worms” but then those who do not understand the finer points of English would misinterpret that, too. I see where one letter writer mentioned a previous mayor’s acceptance of all things South Asian, without realizing that votes are bought in Surrey and have been elsewhere. I was also appalled at the letter that finishes with “we are not going to sit and watch your paper insulting our community again and again.” Mr. Simpson, please watch your back as Dave Hayer’s late father failed to do.

As a sequel to my last column, on sauces, I thought it would be informative to broaden the topic even further. Most people don’t consider salad dress- Chef ings to be sauces, DEZ however, they share the same definition: a flavourful liquid that enhances a finished dish.

Please note that Council may not receive further submissions from the public or interested persons concerning these applications after the Public Hearing has concluded. Jane Sullivan City Clerk

Salads do not all necessarily share the characteristic of being made of lettuce, however, they do almost always depend upon a dressing of one kind or another. Oil and vinegar is probably the most common homemade dressing. It can be made very simple or quite complex. The most frequent question I get asked when it comes to making this type of dressing is, “What oil-tovinegar ratio should I be using?” First,

this depends upon one’s tolerance and desire for acidity. I personally prefer a 2:1 ratio of oil to vinegar, meaning two measurements of oil for every one of vinegar. However, a 1:1, 3:1, 4:1 or even a 5:1 ratio can function just as well, depending on one’s tastes. Lemon juice can be used with, or in place of, the vinegar if desired. The technique of making a satisfying oil-vinegar dressing will rely more

HELP

‘How do you turn you back on 300 families?’ You can’t.And they aren’t. But now Oak Avenue Neighbourhood Hub Society needs your help to put their own ﬁnancial woes behind them. By Carolyn Cooke

hen Oak Avenue Neighbourhood Hub Society was created, its founders hoped it could one day function as a hub for the area – a central point from which spokes radiate out to support the edges, or in this case, the people living on the edges of society. Years later, organizers are proud their non-profit group has become just that: an essential hub of help, and not just to its immediate Cedar Hills neighbourhood. Some 300 families rely on the various programs run by Oak Avenue, it refers its clients to other services as needed, and social service workers rely on the Hub to help their clients when other resources can’t. But as the Hub has grown and developed, so have the pressures facing the society, so much so that its executive worry their years of hard work are in jeopardy. Part of the problem is a trickle-down effect of the recent recession and slow economy. A growing number of families and individuals need help to survive these tough times, coupled with a decrease in available funding, as well as restrictions on how those funds are spent, and a rent increase about a year and a half ago have staff and volunteers at Oak Avenue worried. “How do you walk away from that?” asked Janice Lanigan, director of the society. “How do you just turn your back on 300 families? You can’t.” Lanigan has been involved with the Hub since before the society officially existed. She and other members of Oak Avenue United Church, at 12740 102nd Ave., simply responded to what people said they needed, explained Lanigan. “So many members of the Oak Avenue Church have lived in this area for 40, 50 years and they’ve seen the changes and they said they (Whalley families) need the help.” It began about a decade ago with church members organizing childminding for teenaged moms who wanted to complete their high school education. It extended when they formed a partnership with OPTIONS: Services to Communities Society to host the Whalley Family Place drop-in centre, and kept adding more needed services. In 2004, the decision was made to form a secular non-profit society to continue and expand the congregation’s work. It would also open up sources of funding

reserved for non-profit groups. And so the Oak Avenue Neighbourhood Hub Society was born. The change, said Lanigan, was driven by the fact that the original congregation of Oak Avenue was dwindling and most of its remaining members were seniors who had moved to other neighbourhoods, but still attended the church. “The congregation said we can go to other churches, but we can’t turn our back on the work, the need,” said Lanigan. “It has to be maintained as a mission centre.” There was never any thought given to moving to another part of Surrey, said Lanigan. “This is where we need to be.” Over the years the society expanded to run two day cares: one for infants and toddlers, the other for tots up to five. There’s a monthly community dinner, plus seniors’ lunches every two weeks, a seniors’ computer lab, and free children’s clothing. The Clothes Closet started in 2001 as a Keystone Mission project, which is made

of members from a number of United churches in the city, and it also runs the monthly community dinner program. “This project (the Clothes Closet) has really been a labour of love,” Lanigan said. The old, unused stage area had become an unofficial storage area hidden by the stage curtain, so volunteers decided it would be a great place for the clothes exchange. From October to December 2001, the group supplied clothes to 35 kids, said Lanigan. They were quite happy with the results and decided to make it an ongoing project. Walls were put up, clothes racks installed and donations gathered. These days, more than 500 kids get clothes from the Closet, from newborns right up to age 12. The Surrey Food Bank came in as a partner and in exchange for recommending new clients use the Clothes Closet if needed, it provides some baby food to help out families with babies. Lanigan said they try to put together layettes for newborns and can sometimes offer bigger necessities like strollers and cribs. In another example of the Hub’s interconnectedness in the community, volunteers gather in the summer months to put together the backpacks full of school supplies given out in mid-August at the food bank, which doesn’t have the space to handle the 1,500 or more backpacks they can create from donations. Again, said Lanigan, each year there are far more children who need this service than they can supply.

Other society initiatives include the community kitchens, each geared specifically to the group it serves. Joyce Fan, Hub program director, said a community kitchen isn’t just about food. For the multicultural group, she said, they cook something from each person’s country and that person tells the others about their homeland. It has helped the participants practise their language skills in addition to forming social ties and providing food that can be packed up and taken home for their families. The Burmese community kitchen runs every two weeks for the Rohingyas, a Muslim group from Burma, or Myanmar, often called “The Forgotten People,” who came to Surrey via a refugee camp in Bangladesh. The group of about eight families has a tradition of communal cooking that was impossible once they arrived in Canada and were placed in separate apartments, said Fan. They meet once every two weeks to prepare vegetarian food, for which the Hub purchased pots, pans and utensils that are used only for vegetarian foods, in accordance with their beliefs. The Rohingyas, like many others, were brought to Canada as government-sponsored refugees, but struggled without support in the beginning. Members of Oak Avenue, once made aware of the group’s plight, helped them with basics like English lessons, how to navigate the transit system, how to store and cook with kitchen appliances until government-run programs kicked in.

“With the economy as it is, they should be supporting those who are doing the work, carrying the load.”

Hub Society to prepare communal meals and learn about Canadian food. Having access to the community kitchen program has made an incredible difference to how they’ve adjusted, said Fan. They’re now starting to introduce Canadian foods, to help them acclimatize and learn about our culture. The African community kitchen is for people at the other end of the immigrant spectrum. Here a group of people originally from Africa get together once a month to try large-batch ethnic recipes for the catering business they plan to launch. “It’s great to see they want to better themselves and become independent,” said Lanigan, adding that’s their hope for all the Hub’s clients. Pretty much all this work is done by volunteers. There are only three paid staff working for the Hub – Fan and the day care staff; everyone else gives their time and expertise out of a sense of community responsibility. Necessary items like the clothes for the Clothes Closet, furniture and computers are generally donated. Still, money is always tight.

Hub is just scraping by The original Oak Avenue congregation disbanded in 2007. A search was undertaken to find a new congregation to become the trustees of the property, and to continue to foster the work of the Hub. Amazing Grace United Church had been renting space in another United church in Surrey. It had a younger congregation, too. It seemed to be a perfect fit, and so the new group was invited to take over trusteeship of the church property.

But with the new landlord soon came a new financial arrangement; the Hub’s rent jumped by 287 per cent, up to $3,500 a month. Christine Wolff, a long-time volunteer at Oak Avenue, said the group was thankful to reach an agreement to stay on, but “with these economic times, it’s just another chal-

lenge” to come up with that much money each month. Brian Tsai, minister of Amazing Grace, said his congregation is supportive of the non-profit, but “we’re also struggling with our own budget.” The monthly fee, he said, is based on a percentage of property maintenance costs. “It’s wonderful work (they do),” said Tsai, “especially to the community of the single-parent family and refugees – lowincome and marginalized people. Their work is “very beneficial to the community,” said Tsai. “We are so proud of that.” He said he’s had some success in encouraging his congregation to get involved in the Hub, with some of the ladies helping to prepare food for the community dinners, for example. His main challenge, he said, is that being a church of mostly new immigrants, they must put time and effort into helping members become settled and adjusted to life in Canada, so volunteering often comes second. “We find it’s not easy to ask new immigrants to spend more time to volunteer,” said Tsai. “It’s a difficult situation.” For now, Lanigan and the executive at Oak Avenue are scraping by with the small profit generated by the day cares

supplemented with fundraisers, but this doesn’t allow them to address any new needs that are identified. New volunteers and board members are always welcome, said Wolff, because there’s never a shortage of work to be done. But what the Hub really needs, Lanigan, Fan and Wolff agreed, is a more stable, long-term financial solution so they can put their focus where it needs to be - on the people who need help. They pointed out that Vancouver and a growing number of municipalities in Metro Vancouver are recognizing the value of organizations such as theirs, and are making efforts to help them out. For example, in Vancouver, the city provides funding that can be used for rent and maintenance costs, unlike most forms of government funding. And they’d love for Surrey to follow suit. “With the economy as it is, they should be supporting those who are doing the work, carrying the load,” said Lanigan.

upon the balance of flavours rather than just the ratio used. Different flavourings will either complement or counteract a ratio, and thus it will have to be tasted and adjusted as needed. All oil-vinegar dressings are emulsified (mixed together) before serving. They can be either temporarily emulsified or permanently so. A temporary emulsion is when the mixture is shaken and the oil and vinegar is combined together temporarily. Shortly thereafter, the oil and vinegar will separate once again. A permanent emulsion requires the use of an emulsifier, such as egg yolk. The egg yolk particles will coat both the oil and vinegar particles and keep them suspended in each other rather than separating. To create this, the oil must be whisked in vigorously while adding it very slowly to the other ingredients. All emulsifications, whether temporary or permanent, always work better at room temperature, as oil is harder to break down when it is cold. Mayonnaise is basically an emulsion of egg and oil. Dressings made with mayonnaise as a base are very popular as well. Potato salad is a classic example of this. Mayonnaise, however, is in drastic need of additional flavours in order for it to become a great salad dressing. Please

THE

don’t be afraid to experiment, as some of the best dressings come from being creative and trying something new. Most importantly, it is a necessity to taste and re-season once the salad has been assembled with the dressing. Potatoes or pasta, for example, are very bland on their own. They will definitely reduce the impact of flavour in the dressing. Have you ever been to a picnic when someone has volunteered to bring the potato salad and it tasted incredibly bland? You automatically think to yourself, “Did they even taste this?” Salad dressings can also be made from other ingredient bases, such as sour cream and yogurt. While these would be replacements for a mayonnaise-based dressing, they do lack the richness mayonnaise provides. However, low- or nonfat varieties of sour cream and yogurt would be ideal for accommodating a lower-fat diet. Please keep in mind that these may be low in fat and high in protein, but they are also high in carbohydrates. Therefore they would not suit all forms of dieting. Whatever ingredients are used, the main focus of a salad dressing should be on developing flavour.

massive assault on the senses. India’s population of more than one billion people has given the country a negative reputation, but within the villages of the tropical countryside, and along the streets of the busy cities, lies the true essence of a land that is among the most exotic and intriguing countries on Earth. And what better way to explore the subcontinent than in the driver’s seat of Asia’s most popular vehicle, the auto rickshaw? The Rickshaw Challenge, a series of auto rickshaw events created, produced and managed by Chennai Event Management Services, provides a oncein-a-lifetime experience for tourists from around the globe. The idea is to learn how to fuel and drive an auto rickshaw, then personally drive the vehicle from one point in India to another, completing a series of challenges along the way for points that determine the winner. Currently, Rickshaw Challenge events include the Malabar Rampage, the Tech Raid, the original Classic Run and the popular Mumbai Xpress. Each of these events has unique routes of varied lengths, all beginning in Chennai, but each exploring a different aspect, theme or characteristic of the diverse states and regions of India. The Mumbai Xpress, for example, is a 1,900kilometre adventure that takes participants across Tamil Nadu into the state of Karnataka, up the west coast of India into Goa and further through the Western Ghats to Maharashtra, the richest state in India, with Mumbai as its capital. Along the route, which takes 12 days to complete by auto rickshaw, participants compete to accomplish a set of “challenges” that range from scavenger hunts and cultural observations (say, photograph yourself with a cow on the road) to communicating with local people (ask them to direct you to a Nissan Hut in Karnataka). But it’s not just the Mumbai Xpress that contains challenges like this. As if driving these distances in an auto rickshaw is not challenging enough in itself, each of the routes of the

Rickshaw Challenge contain daily adventures based on the topography, history, culture or reputation of a particular location. By the flag-down point on the final day, each of the participants is able to say with certainty they have actually experienced India in all its variety, and that they wish they didn’t have to go back home. Accommodation along the route can be organized with Chennai Event Management Services, and these range from local hostels with no air conditioning in hilltop stations veiled by monsoon rains to the five-star J.W. Marriott of Mumbai. All habitations en route are considered part of the daily challenge, but regardless of where you rest your head at night, as a participant of the Rickshaw Challenge this is India often completely off the beaten track. Furthermore, the Rickshaw Challenge gives back to India. By working with Round Table India, a non-profit organization designed to provide educational opportunities for underprivileged children, participants do more than observe India. They get involved.

Fundraising efforts

Round Table India provides personal tours of its projects, especially those built under its “Freedom Through Education” initiative, which has set the foundation, built the facilities and provided the resources necessary for Indian children to receive an education. Many past participants have initiated fundraising efforts before travelling to India, while others have committed to efforts back home in order to support the cause. One team of Mumbai Xpress participants from Australia, for example, purchased their auto rickshaw after the completion of the event with the intention of providing rides in Australia to residents for a small fee. This fee, in turn, was to be donated to Round Table India for children who would otherwise continue to live out their lives in slums with extremely limited opportunities.

Raw, unforgettable adventure  continued from page 20

Andrew of Team Crud Bug.

This is the real India — the land of contrasts, where schools are built near slums, where the bright colours of saris capture the eye as much as the dirty streets, and where the monsoon rains and seasonal droughts are the cycle of life. This is the land of sensual assaults, where the spices are authentic, the chai bittersweet, the noise constant, the silence deafening and the smells bold. Anybody who has been to India will tell you it’s unlike anywhere else in the world. They’re right.

And each event of the Rickshaw Challenge guarantees an experience that is just like India itself: raw and unforgettable. ❚ Additional info online at rickshawchallenge.com, mumbaixpress.in and cemsglobal.com.

‘Runways’ time for retired drama teacher Harvey Ostroff

Ocean Park-based playwright Harvey Ostroff loves to write while travelling with his longtime wife, Margie. “She’s had four bouts of cancer and, knock on wood, she’s doing well — it’s been in remission for 10 years, so we’re taking advantage of what life has to offer.” ❚FILE PHOTO/Brian Howell

Tom ZILLICH

Staff Reporter

The first time Harvey Ostroff began thinking about Anton and Eli, he was strolling through Semiahmoo Shopping Centre. It was 2005 and Ostroff, a playwright and retired Surrey school teacher, was searching for material for a new script. “I walked around the mall on some errands, and there were all these elderly people sitting on benches,” he recalled. “I thought, ‘Well, there’s something to write about.’” The banter between fictional octogenarians Anton Illych and Eli Golden morphed into a comedydrama script for Two Guys Sitting on a Bench Talking about This and That: The Viagra Diatribes (also known as The Viagra Diatribes), which was performed at the Fringe theatre festival in Vancouver a couple of years ago. “The first one started out as little comic sketches,” Ostroff explained, “but as I got to know the characters a little better, it became apparent that more truth had to be added.” Now there’s Runaways, a two-hander that finds Eli, 85 and living in a care home, mourning the loss of his cancer-stricken buddy Anton and having to deal with a scared homeless teen named Pandora Wonder. The play debuts next week (May 4-9) at Vancouver’s Havana Theatre and stars Richard Newman (seen most recently in the Arts Club production of Paradise Garden) and his real-life daughter, Sofia Farrell Newman, 14. Until now, Ostroff has played the part of Eli, who is incapable of living by himself yet unwilling to accept the loss of freedom that comes with eldercare. “One of the reasons (for not playing Eli this time around) is I get to watch my words come to life on stage, and that’s a

real thrill,” Ostroff told the Now. Ostroff, an Ocean Park resident, retired eight years ago from teaching drama at Johnston Heights Secondary. He spent 34 years as an educator, mostly at Surrey schools. He missed teaching, until he returned to classrooms to host theatre workshops. “I don’t miss the big productions, but I do miss close connections with the kids,” Ostoff said. “But they’ll be half the audience for the shows (of Runaways at the Havana), so I do stay connected with some of them. I don’t miss the day-to-day classroom experience, that’s for sure. It was 38 years of that, and I loved it during that time, but that’s enough.… My best place was teaching high school theatre, so those last 10 years were the best years of my life.” Back during the 2005 provincial election campaign, the left-leaning Ostroff took a poke at right-wing B.C. politics with Political Will, the antagonist of which was Premier Darryl “Cutback” Cleaver. He’s working on the script for Obit, which will be the third piece in the “Two Guys” trilogy. Another of Ostroff’s passions is visual arts, in the form of comical works created from pieces of driftwood. He doesn’t have a lot of time to act anymore. “I travel a lot (with wife Margie), so I do have a lot of time to write,” he said. “She’s had four bouts of cancer and, knock on wood, she’s doing well — it’s been in remission for 10 years, so we’re taking advantage of what life has to offer.” ❚ Runaways is staged at 8 p.m. from May 48 and also at 3 p.m. on May 9 at Havana Theatre, 1212 Commercial Dr., Vancouver. Tickets range from $10 to $15. For reservations and more details, call 604-535-4810 or email heo@shaw.ca.

Let the Sun Shine in

Bask in the healing powers of Vitamin D

YOGURT: Straw vs spoon; fat vs low-fat page 31 IT’S STILL JUNK FOOD: Salt and sugar levels are being reduced, but simple dietary choices remain the best bets page 32

Vitamin D A Health Canada study released in March said that about three million Canadians — about ten per cent of people aged six to 70 — have inadequate levels of vitamin D. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium, a vital ingredient in strong bones. Humans can produce enough vitamin D simply by being exposed to a few minutes of bright sunshine. But for many people in Canada, months can go by before they can catch that sunny quarter of an hour. What’s more, the amount of the sunshine vitamin we produce is affected by the angle of the rays that reach the skin, so dwellers in northern climes need more time in the sun. As a substitute, many turn to supplements. The Canada Food Guide to Healthy Eating recommends a total of 1,000 international units of vitamin

D per day, of which 400 can come from supplements. But West Vancouver community dietician Kathy Romses says that may well be revised to a larger figure later this year. “There’s a whole bunch of research going on around vitamin D and it’s resulted in some conflicting views on how much vitamin d we should be getting, both through diet and supplementation,” she said. “For me it’s the most interesting vitamin because there are so many different diseases, autoimmune diseases and cancers and falls in the elderly that are linked to inadequate vitamin D.” Romses still tells her clients to stick with the Food Guide for now, but also to try and find their vitamin D in foodstuffs like milk, margarine, tuna or salmon rather than pills. “You should be getting two cups or 500 millilitres of fluid milk every day. That can be soy milk or cow’s milk. Fluid

Researchers are still figuring out exactly much vitamin D we need, but they do know that many of us aren’t getting enough. milk in Canada is fortified with vitamin D. That’s our key source when we’re not making it in the skin. Soy milk has a different kind of vitamin, D2. It’s from a plant source, irradiated yeast, because there may be vegetarians drinking it.

Canada’s Largest Chronic Pain Center Over 150,000 Treatments Given Across Canada! For many years, the Canadian Decompression and Pain Centres (CDPC) have been successfully treating chronic low back and neck pain using a uniquely developed treatment protocol call Neuro-Decompression. In 2006, the technology used at CDPC won the Australian Design Award in the “Medical and Scientific” category. This revolutionary treatment procedure has consistently achieved great results at CDPC locations throughout Canada. Results are usually long lasting. Referrals come from surgeons, medical doctors and other health care professionals across the country, but referral is not required (you can contact us directly). Neuro-Decompression is a three-phased system that was developed by CDPC doctors.

How Does It Work? The three phases at CDPC include Neuro-Decompression, Oxygen Enhancement and a unique Neuro-Nutrition phase. The full procedure is performed simutaneously during a patient’s treatment. The three phases combined create a unique treatment procedure offered only at the Canadian Decompression and Pain Centers. All three stages are integral to the system to ensure that the patient’s recovery is quick, successful and long term. Many patients feel immediate relief from pain, but the goal of the treatment program is to eliminate pain long term, not temporarily, and to restore and improve the patient’s quality of life.

CDPC will be hosting a charity event in August 2010! Contact us for details…

What Are People Saying About the Treatment? I read the ad in the paper - I thought this would be fantastic! I am completely off all medication and feel like a 20 year old. Thank you for giving me my quality of life back! The staff are the friendliest, nicest, most compassionate people I have ever met in a clinical environment! - Denise B., Calgary My experience at CDPC was honesty… professionalism… love. Every member of the staff showed love and respect as they cared for me. I appreciate all they have done to give me continued quality of life! I want others to have this treatment. - Iona B., Toronto When I first came to CDPC I couldn’t walk. I had not been to work for many months. After about 4 treatments I could feel it working… it’s the best money I’ve ever spent. I got my life back without pain, it’s worth it. Just do it. It works. - Russ C., Calgary You may qualify for a research study:

• 18 to 65 years old • experience chronic neck and low back pain • have tried at least 2 medications prescribed by your doctor to prevent pain Certain patients will be seen by doctor and receive study care with costs partially or fully subsidized.

To anyone out there… if you are in need of back surgery… do yourself a favour and check out decompression! I can’t stress it enough… IT WORKS! They are great, wonderful people who care about your well-being. - Andrea S., Victoria I always had back problems for 10 years and everyday got worse. But in Sept 2009 I saw CDPC and started treatment. I felt better after the first treatments, and now after five treatments, I feel a good improvement. It is less painful, I sleep better at night, and most improvement is that I can walk easier with no pain. - Johanne T., Vancouver I have had 6 sessions with CDPC. The pain (which I have endured for the previous 15 years) has almost completely dissipated. As well, my posture has noticeably straightened. I anticipate a complete and lasting pain-free existence once the balance of treatments has been complete. - Michael P., Vancouver I have had a lot of problems with my lower back and with my sciatic nerve… I heard about CDPC and made an appointment… I progressed from severe pain to very little pain over the treatment program! I would recommend this treatment to

anyone having lower back problems. - Kenneth R., Edmonton I will be forever grateful… the pain was excruciating and debilitating… I used to tell my friends and family that if I could cut off my leg I would… And then a miracle happened. I made an appointment for a consultation . The rest is history!!! I have not had a painkiller in weeks: I am actually looking forward to being able to dance again. - Rhona K., Calgary

Get to the bottom of the best yogurt By Jennifer Sygo For Canwest News Service

In the battle of the bulge, does it matter what type of yogurt you prefer? According to a new study in the April edition of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, it’s not so much the type of yogurt that matters to your waistline, but rather the way you consume it. YOGURT: BY SPOON OR BY STRAW? In the study, published by Dutch researchers, 105 healthy participants were given yogurt in three different forms: semi-solid with a spoon, liquid with a spoon and liquid yogurt with a straw. Yes, that’s right, drinkable yogurt. After 10 breakfasts in which they were told to eat as much yogurt as they liked, participants consumed the same amount of liquid and semi-solid yogort, as long as they were both eaten with a spoon. As for the yogurt slurped through a straw? Those participants consumed an average of an extra 100 grams of yogurt per meal - that’s the equivalent of one of those individual servings that come in most multi-

packs (most participants ate about 500 grams of yogurt per meal). What does this mean? The main difference between the spoon-fed yogurt eaters and the straw-fed group was the speed at which they consumed their meal: While both spoon-fed groups averaged about 105 grams of yogurt per minute (the equivalent of about one small container per minute), the drinking group chugged roughly 25 per cent more yogurt in the same amount of time. The takehome message? Not only is eating too fast hazardous to your pant size, but drinking your calories, especially through a straw, is an easy way to trick your brain into eating more than it needs. While you might not normally reach for a straw when you have your morning yogurt, keep it in mind the next time you order a pop, smoothie or even a protein shake - if the container is big enough to double as a hot tub when you’re done with it, then there’s a good chance you’ll gulp more food than you need before you feel full.

FIBRE AND YOGURT: DOES IT HELP? What else makes yogurt more filling (or less)? Lately, research has focused on adding soluble fibre, most commonly in the form of inulin (a type of fibre derived from various foods, including chicory root), and the results have been promising: Several studies have shown that inulin-fortified yogurt can be more filling than traditional yogurts. Somewhat controversial in nutrition circles, inulin has the upside of being a prebiotic, which means it feeds the healthy bacteria in your intestines. The downside? It doesn’t seem to possess the same cholesterol-lowering effects as other soluble fibre-rich foods (in a nutshell, inulin is a source of soluble fibre that is non-viscous, whereas the fibre in oatmeal and ground flaxseed is both soluble and viscous, which seems to be critical for cholesterol control). The other issue with inulin is that it can cause digestive

#202 - 12725 80th Avenue, Surrey

issues-read: gas-especially when one isn’t accustomed to eating it. YOGURT AND FAT: DOES IT MATTER? What about the fat content of the yogurt? The debate between fat-free, low-fat and full-fat yogurts is one of those little things that can seem very big in life, especially when two people in the same hous›old go to war each weﬁ in the dairy cooler at the grocery store. While some argue extra fat - and the calories that come with it - is worth it, both in terms of flavour and satiety - others reason that a lowerfat or fat-free yogurt typically

contains between 20 and 40 fewer calories per 100 grams than a comparable higher-fat yogurt. While there is a fair bit of research on the effect of dietary fats on appetite, there has been relatively little study on the effect the fat content in yogurt has on fullness and caloric intake. In one older study, researchers from the University at Buffalo found that women given a higher-fat yogurt at breakfast did eat less yogurt, but they consumed more calories (in other words, they didn’t reduce their intake enough to compensate for the extra calories). And if

you’re wondering about the carbohydrate content of the yogurt (there is a fair bit of sugar in most flavoured yogurts), it didn’t have an effect on the amount of calories consumed, at least not in this particular study. THE BOTTOM LINE If you’re looking for the most filling yogurt that is going to keep you from blowing your caloric budget, it seems your best bet is to choose a lower-fat yogurt with a spoon. Adding inulin is up to you (it’s increasingly popular among food manufacturers), but watch out for those uncomfortable side effects.

It’s Still Junk Food Salt and sugar levels are being reduced, but simple dietary choices remain the best bets. By Jennifer Sygo For Canwest News Service When big food companies talk, do you still listen? Last weﬁ, two major multinational food corporations announced plans to make their fare healthier for consumers. First, Kraft Foods revealed its commitment to reduce sodium levels in many of its products. Three days later, food giant PepsiCo announced plans to cut the fat, sugar and salt content of many of its major products, while simultaneously taking steps to improve its environmental accountability. But what does all this mean for the average consumer? UNDERSTANDING THE PLANS Kraft’s plan is to cut sodium levels by an average of 10 per cent over the next two years, a change that will apply to more than 1,000 products sold in North America, as well selected international products. When you consider the amount of energy that goes into reformulating even one product to ensure it is still palatable for consumers, this represents a substantial undertaking over a relatively short period of time. In terms of breadth, PepsiCo’s plan is more ambitious, but has a slower rollout: The company has pledged to reduce average sodium in key global brands by 25 per cent by 2015, saturated fats by 15 per cent by 2020, and average added sugar content in beverages by 25 per cent by 2020. These announcements follow recent trends by other large corporations to reduce salt or sugar content in their foods, or to formulate cereals with more whole grains. Campbell’s, for example, is now two years into a strategy to reduce the sodium content of their popular soups by 10 per cent to 25 per cent. THE CHANGES: THE GOOD Taken at face value, the

trends toward less salt and sugar seem like good ones. Cutting salt in food gradually over time can help us to collectively sensitize our palates to lower-salt foods - saltiness is something we become used to over time and ultimately reduce our risk of hypertension, heart disease and stroke. The notion of soft drinks with less added sugar, which seems almost too good to be true when you consider the amount of research that goes into the precise formulations of each soft drink (remember New Coke and Crystal Pepsi?), also seems like a positive change, so let’s give credit where it’s due. THE CHANGES: THE REALITY Of course, the reality is that the sodium reductions planned by Kraft are actually quite modest: In even a high-sodium product, we’re talking about the difference between a sodium content of 1,000 mg and 900 mg - not exactly an Earth-shattering change. From a business standpoint, however, this makes some sense. A 2007 study by Unilever found that consumers ranked a so-called lower-sodium soup as less tasty than a regular soup. The catch? The salt content of the two soups was actually the same. So why make the change at all, when consumers may not even prefer a lower-salt version of their favourite bologna? As some analysts point out, this could be a pre-emptive strike to prevent governments from flexing their regulatory muscles and mandating less salt in foods, a move expected in the U.S. by the end of the year. While PepsiCo, the parent company of Gatorade, Quaker and Lays, has proposed more ambitious and broad-ranged changes than Kraft, the slow rollout (five to

10 years) means consumers will have to wait considerable time for less salt in their chips or less sugar in their flavoured oatmeal. And while cutting sugar and salt might be a good thing, it’s hard not to wonder whether these changes will be masked by the addition of other lower quality nutrients (in the past, many companies increased the sugar content of their products when faced with pressure to cut fats). To their credit, PepsiCo also announced plans to eliminate the direct sale of full-sugar soft drinks to primary and secondary schools by 2012. GETTING BACK TO BASICS While the debate over the merits and drawbacks of reducing sodium in crackers or sugar in granola bars can go on forever, when it comes down to it, a potato chip is still a potato chip, and pop is still pop. Trying to make these foods healthier - or at least less unhealthy - is a good idea in theory, but it doesn’t mean you can think of these foods as nutritious. At the end of the day, if you want to eat healthier, control your weight and improve the quality of your diet, your best bet is to focus more on foods that don’t have a label at all. Whole foods and foods with fewer ingredients - apples, chicken, chick peas or sweet potatoes - have far more to offer than any nutrition label could convey. Sure, it’s OK to enjoy a cookie, some ice cream or a handful of chips from time to time (and some will argue that when you do, you might as well enjoy the “real” stuff, full fat, sugar, and all), and yes, some nutritious foods, like yogourt, soups and fibre-rich cereals often do contain sugar or salt that could be reduced. But before we get too caught up in the numbers game-grams of this, milligrams of that-always remember that, when it comes to food, keeping it simple is usually the best strategy of all.

With small spaces, think outside the box

May 2-8, 2010 GET PREPARED!

Living in a small space doesn’t necessarily mean having to feel confined to a restricted area. Thinking outside the box, we can actually live in a space that feels much larger than its Karly square footage. PAUL-MORRIS A small space can be as enjoyable to live in as any larger home, provided we are aware of a few tricks in the trade. There are several points to consider in dealing with a small area. The most important, of course, is that the room expresses who you are and that you feel completely comfortable in your surroundings. ❚ Make hallways “work.” If it is possible to put shallow shelves in the hallway, with accessories combined with storage things, it will free up other areas in your home. Papers, books and files can be put into baskets beside a nice accessory. You might want to paint the inside of the bookshelf in a nice contrast to the walls, adding interest to the overall look of the space. Hallways can be a great place to display large oversized art. Not only does it give the space colour, it adds character to an otherwise empty area. ❚ Even though the space might be small, think big. An oversize patterned wallpaper can have a great affect in the

living room, kitchen or den. I wouldn’t suggest having too many colours in the wallpaper as it will tend to become overpowering. Either a monochromatic (varying degrees of the same colour) or two colours will work best. Also keep the paper to one main wall as opposed to papering the entire room. ❚ Less is more. Make the pieces count. Whether it’s brilliant pink silk side panels or a leather chaise lounge, allow ample space between your furniture so it doesn’t overcrowd the room. A small living room might have one chair-and-a-half, with two smaller side chairs. Of course, comfort is a must when selecting the pieces. ❚ Go bold with accents, but not necessarily the entire room. You want the bold pieces to catch your eye and not wear them out! With the bolder pieces, be careful to maintain a sense of balance in the room. A huge arc lamp over the dining room table can add interest and excitement. ❚ Pieces can appear to “float.” A coffee table might be large in scale, but if it has a glass top it will appear to take up less space in the room. ❚ Have fun with patterns. With less furnishings in a room, it can tend to become stark. Adding texture on cushions, throws and even furniture will help eliminate this problem.

❚ LIVING ❚HOME INTERIORS: Small spaces

❚ Mirrors are great for small spaces. A small room will look twice its size with a large mirror in the right place. Be careful in placing mirrors in a dining room, as they can distract people who face them. ❚ Create height. If you can’t move the furniture horizontally, move it vertically. Use as much vertical space as possible, whether it’s a tall shelving unit or framed art pieces placed one above the other. ❚ A hallway or landing may have an area where you can build a window seat. A dresser can be built under the window seat for great storage.

❚ Last but not least, let the sun shine in! Lots of natural light will increase the space like nothing else. If you need privacy on the window, use large slat blinds, not narrow ones. If you want a softer look, try side panels that skim the frame of the window and maybe have a pleated or roller shade (for the privacy at night) that tucks up and off the window during the day. Maximize the size of your window by not putting furniture pieces directly in front of it, and sit back and enjoy your view!

Veterans lead Surrey into semifinals

Vancouver Italian side. “Columbus is a very good and very experienced team,” he said. “They’ve won the provincials, the league and the Imperial Cup before so they know what they’re doing in big games like this.” Elsewhere in men’s cup play, ICST Pegasus saw their season end in discouraging fashion with a 2-1 loss to Gorge FC in Victoria. With the game knotted at one goal apiece in the 75th minute, a routine play turned into disaster for the Horsemen. Pegasus goalkeeper Andy Singh came out to grab a bouncing ball but the referee ruled he pushed a Gorge player out of his path. The Island champs were awarded a penalty kick and Gorge capitalized with what turned out to be the winning goal. “It sounds like sour grapes but the decision cost us the game,” said Pegasus coach Rob Reed. “He called a penalty kick to everyone’s amazement, even the other team’s. In fact, players, coaches and supporters for Gorge came up to me later and basically apologized because it shouldn’t have been a penalty. It’s a disappointing way to end the season, that’s for sure.” Pegasus responded to the penalty goal by pressing back up the field in search of the equalizer. The Horsemen had a couple of good opportunities but were unable to elude the Gorge goalkeeper. In the final minutes of play, Pegasus’s frustration boiled over, resulting in a couple of red cards to end the game on a sour note. “It was an extremely frustrating situation but it shouldn’t have happened,” Reed said. “You have to lose with a little bit of dignity and class but we didn’t do that as well as I would have liked. I understand to a point the frustrations of the players but you have to have composure and we were lacking that at the end of the game.” Carlos Dhaliwal scored the lone goal for Pegasus in the loss.

Sports

A little veterMichael BOOTH an savvy was just Sports Editor what a shortstaffed Surrey United Firefighters team needed to advance to the semifinals of the Provincial Cup tourney Sunday at Cloverdale Athletic Park. Former Vancouver Whitecaps Jeff Clarke and Niall Thompson came in as second half substitutions and sparked United to a three-goal scoring outburst and a 3-0 win over the Port Moody Gunners in men’s soccer action. Clarke and Thompson entered the game after a frustrating opening half of play by the Vancouver Metro Soccer League champs. Surrey controlled much of the possession in the first 45 minutes but there was a disconnect when it came to moving the ball into a scoring situation. As a result, Surrey’s strong play was not reflected in a score that read 0-0 at the break. “We were making the wrong decisions out there and taking shots from long range, where if we had been a bit more clever, we could have created better chances,” said Thompson, who doubles as the Firemen’s coach. “It wasn’t that we were under pressure at all, we just weren’t creating quality chances.” With Clarke patrolling the central midfield and Thompson directing traffic up front, it took less than a minute for United to exert pressure on the Port Moody defence as Rizal Ganief sailed a shot wide of the net. In the ensuring 10-minute span, Ganief had a shot cleared off the goal line by a Port Moody defender, Angus Burke clanged a shot off the post and Thompson missed from close range. Surrey finally hit the mark in the 61st minute when defender Vinny Stewart’s cross from the right wing found Clarke in the penalty area. The crafty vet made no mistake, slotting home a low shot to the left corner of the net.

Surrey United’s Niall Thompson (14) vies with a Port Moody ❚PHOTO/Brian Howell defender for control of a loose ball Sunday. Surrey pressed forward and made life difficult for the Gunners’ defence. Their efforts were rewarded in the 80th minute when Clarke and Stewart hooked up again. This time it was Clarke serving up a perfect pass for Stewart to hammer into the top right corner of the net from 25 yards out. Ganief then set up Thompson for a late goal to close out the scoring. “That first goal was huge for us and it really set them back,” Thompson said. “They looked kind of beaten after that and then

when we scored the second goal, it relieved even more pressure from us. The second goal was nicely set up and when Vinny put it in, it really knocked the wind out of any comeback they might have been hoping for.” Surrey will now face a VMSL rival in the semifinal when they take on Columbus in Coquitlam Saturday.

Bayside sneaks into CDI playoffs

DAVID BENOIT/ “They scored two tries because of missed tackles in the open field but other than that, we handled them pretty well.” The Sharks had little trouble taking care of their responsibilities against Cowichan. The Sharks carried much of the play on the day and rarely needed more than four phases of play to create scoring chances. Bayside opened the scoring two minutes into the game with a converted penalty try by Brodie Henderson. Isimeli Sigarua added a second unconverted effort 10 minutes later to extend the Sharks’ lead to 12-0. Cowichan answered with a pair of converted tries five minutes apart to take a 14-12 lead but that advantage

Lower Mainland Surrey, Delta, White Rock Regional Golf Guide

Phil Reimer’s

golf report

Had an interesting conversation about golf with the Honourable Bob McLeod, who happens to be the Minister of Tourism, Industry and Investment for the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. He was in Vancouver to talk about a lot of things related to the north and plans for the upcoming years. Their pavilion was one of the most popular of the Olympic Games. So Mr. Minister, let’s talk golf. “Well, you’re talking to the right person. At one point I was the captain of the Yellowknife Golf Club. “While some may think golf is new in the north it’s not. We have been at for over 60 years.” The early days of your golf course sound very interesting. Bayside Sharks winger Tony LaCarte (right) runs past a diving tackle attempt by a Cowichan defender Saturday. Bayside topped Cowichan 41-19 to earn a first-round playoff date with Capilano. ❚PHOTO/Brian Howell lasted less than a minute before the Sharks were back on top, thanks to Henderson’s second try, unconverted, of the afternoon. Sigarua kept pace with his second of the game in the 32nd minute and after the convert attempt sailed wide, Bayside carried a 22-14 lead into the break. “Cowichan is not a bad team; they have a good scrum and some hardrunning backs,” Benoit said. “They’re a bit of a throwback team that plays simple, tight rugby. We were able to handle their scrum though. They scored two tries because of missed tackles in the open field but other than that, we handled them pretty well.” The second half was all Bayside as the Sharks rolled past the Island visitors with three more major scores. Levi Hansen got things rolling with

a converted score in the first minute after play resumed. That score was followed by unconverted tries from Alan Hickey and Cass Conkin, pushing the count to 41-14. Cowichan closed out the scoring with an unconverted try in the final two minutes of play. Bayside now turns their attention to Saturday’s playoff match up on the North Shore against Capilano. “It was a nice win to get because we had to have it,” Benoit said. “It was nice to see our guys play well but the nicer thing is we’re in the playoffs. For a while there we were really worried about that. We finished sixth but we’re in better shape than last year because we don’t have to travel to Vancouver Island next week. Capilanos are a good team but we’ll go there and give it our best and see what happens.”

The club decided to find a company that could provide them with artificial greens that would stand up to the harsh weather. It wasn’t cheap. All 18 greens are now made up of sand and rubber pellets mixed together at cost of $35,000 a hole. The expansion from nine to 18 took place about 10 years ago.

“The golf course was built on sand and our greens were made up of waste oil and sand, mixed and then shaped. Our tee boxes were made of sand and we dug down deep to get the wet sand to set up the tee box. About 15 years ago the environmentalists got on to us about the waste oil greens and they were right — it was time for a change.

Reserve Time

“We have them from all over the world, from Asia, Europe — even Trinidad. In past tournaments Sandra Post and Dan Halldorson, two of our best-known golfers in this country, arrived to offer some lessons and play in the midnight tournament. He said he once got to play with Jackie Parker and Wes Montgomery. Jackie, yes. Wes I don’t know. So if the thought of tee time around 1 a.m. turns your crank, get hold of the Yellowknife Golf Club and see if they have any room for you.

With a little Michael BOOTH help from their Sports Editor friends, the Bayside Sharks are playoff bound. On the final weekend of play for the Canadian Direct Insurance premier rugby league, the Sharks took care of their business by pounding out a 41-19 win over Cowichan at South Surrey Athletic Park Saturday. After the final whistle, the Sharks hit the phone lines in search of results from other games. The first news was bad — the Ravens upset UVic in Victoria — but the second game did the trick: Capilano beat the Castaways, assuring Bayside of the sixth and final playoff spot. “We got the win we needed and we got the help we needed, too,” said Bayside coach David Benoit. “For about 20 minutes after the game the whole team was waiting around on the field to find out the other scores. It was kind of strange really, depending on how other games turned out. We did what we had to do but we still needed help to make it into the playoffs.”

Here's How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must ﬁll each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can ﬁgure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
