CRESCENT BEACH

‘WE WOULD BE SITTING DUCKS’

Without third way into village, residents wonder where they would be in face of an emergency SURREY – City staff have rejected a plan to build an emergency road into Crescent Beach via the marina and Blackie Spit Park, but Mayor Dianne Watts said it’s got to happen, if not there, then somewhere else. “The Crescent Beach area is – especially in summer – a destination and we really have to deal with this,” the mayor said Monday afternoon. “There has to be an alternate access. We have to get it done.” She promised to explore all options with city staff at Monday’s council meeting, long after the Now’s deadline. Residents in the small seaside community have been DIANNE pushing for a third way into their village since 2007 when WATTS/ a Burlington Northern Santa Fe train broke down on its way “There has to through town and blocked the two existing roads into the be an altervillage – they’re only 500 metres apart – for several hours. nate access. That got Crescent Beachers wondering where they’d be We have to in an emergency – a fire, a medical situation or even a tsuget it done.” nami – and the roads were blocked by a train again. They want a road running under the BNSF trestle next to the Crescent Beach marina that would connect to the singlelane roadway running past the Dunsmuir community garden on the south side of Blackie Spit Park. City staff concluded a repetition of the 2007 incident is very unlikely, while the cost is too great to make the proposal viable. Single-lane access would cost about $550,000 and a wider road allowing two-way traffic would run an estimated $1.1 million. Insurance costs would be a one-time premium of $20,000 during construction and a minimum of $40,000 to $50,000 per year afterward. Insurance against environmental liabilities would be additional, but the city hasn’t been able to confirm cost and coverage for that. All of these factors, the report’s authors say, argue against building the road. Instead, they propose a Stopped Train Protocol that would stop trains outside the village during emergencies and create strategies to deal with broken down trains. Margot Thomson is the Crescent Beach Property Owners Association’s point person on the train issue. Not surprisingly, she disagrees with the report’s findings. “There could be great cost to us in loss of life and damage to property,” she said. “We’re really sitting ducks.”

❚ NEWS ❚KWANTLEN/School changes payment policies; students want to know more about why

Credit card snub miffs students Amy REID

Now Contributor

SURREY – If you’re a Kwantlen Polytechnic University student and pay your tuition using your credit card, you’ll have to rethink your payment strategy. As of Aug. 3 the post-secondary school will no longer be accepting credit card payment for domestic registration fees and tuition. Students have been notified through email and the change has been posted on the university’s website. The change is aimed to reduce operational costs by eliminating the fees it pays to credit card companies. The goal is to give these savings back to students. The school said in a website post that $250,000 expected from the savings will be put toward additional scholarships and bursaries for students this year. Kwantlen is not the first institution to implement this change. University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University, and others don’t accept credit card payment for tuition either. Students still have the option to pay these costs through online banking, cash, cheque, money order, interac online and debit card. International students are still permitted to pay by credit card because they may not have the same banking options as domestic students, said the university’s post. Joanne Saunders, director of marketing and communications for Kwantlen Polytechnic University, said it just makes sense to put this money towards students, not fees. “It’s a sensible thing. I think at this day and age everyone is concerned about paying fees, so if we’re going to have to give up $250,000, our feeling is that we’d rather give it back to our students. “I think in the long run, when the message is put out to students, they will get it pretty quickly. “It’s totally understandable,” she said, noting that the school hasn’t received any complaints. While some students don’t think it’s a big deal, some are less than impressed. Colin Fraser, a 22-year-old student studying economics, doesn’t oppose the decision. He has paid with a credit card in the past, but said he pays it off right away. For him, using a cheque would be fine. But he said the school could have communicated its plans for the money better. He quoted the letter as saying, “In fact, $250,000 expected from the savings will be put towards additional scholarships and bursaries for students this year.” Fraser said it would be nice if it would divulge “exactly” what the savings are. From reading its news release, he said it isn’t clear if the $250,000 figure is what the sav-

ings will be, or if it is a portion of a much larger amount. He would also like to see more information about the scholarships and bursaries the school plans to give out, describing Kwantlen’s scholarship selection as “a little sparse” currently. “I think the move would garner more student support,” he said.

JOANNE SAUNDERS/ “In the long run, when the message is put out to students, they will get it pretty quickly.” Fraser said a lot of people are misconstruing this as a move to teach kids about the responsible use of credit cards, which he said is completely wrong and doesn’t make sense. “Kwantlen has a responsibility to the students to provide the best possible facility and education that it can provide, and part of upholding that responsibility is cutting superfluous costs. “If merchant fees really are as high as Kwantlen claims, then I think this is a responsible move, considering the savings are passed

on to the students somehow. “It’s really not that inconvenient unless you’re planning to finance your education on a credit card, but then you might as well just get a student loan.” Katie Gibson, another Kwantlen student, is currently completing prerequisites for the nursing program. She opposes the idea because for her, a student loan isn’t an option. Her parents are considered to make too much money and she isn’t eligible. “But really they make enough money to pay for what they need to pay for. They can’t pay for my school as well.” She’s always paid using her credit card. She works two jobs to pay for a large portion of her schooling and finishes paying it off over the year. Gibson said it’s a bad decision on the university’s part because it’s something that’s very convenient for students. “A credit card for me was easy to come by, easy to pay off and just easy to use,” she said. “It definitely complicates things, because now before I can think about taking classes, I have to think about how I’m going to

get the money to pay for it.” To the people who say just apply for a student loan, she asks when they last applied for one. “They’ don’t just hand them out.” Like Fraser, she too would like to see a plan for exactly where the money is going to go. “For us to actually see something in place would make us understand a little bit better. But right now it’s just a bunch of words they’re saying and we don’t actually know if it’s going to happen.” Scott Henning has been a student at Kwantlen for six years, on and off. He’s been full-time for the last year and a half taking a business management diploma. In the past he’s paid with a combination of debit card and credit card. Henning said the change adds unneeded hassle for students. “Let’s face the fact that paying tuition by credit card online was the easiest and fastest way for students to pay. “Several banks don’t have online banking so it’s going to be a hassle for students to pay their tuition and now way more time consuming over a small amount of money that Kwantlen is trying to save.”

❚SURREY

City council expected to OK one suite per home SURREY Ted – Most Surrey COLLEY residents think Staff Reporter every house in the city should be allowed to have a secondary suite – within limits. City council was expected Monday to endorse a staff recommendation to allow one suite in every single-family home in Surrey. The Now had already gone to press when the council meeting was convened that evening. The recommendation was based in part on the results of a couple of surveys. In a telephone survey conducted on behalf of the city by Ipsos Reid, 63 per cent of respondents were in favour of permitting one suite in every home. A web survey on the same question showed 55 per cent in favour. When asked why they support the idea, residents said suites provide more affordable housing and help cover the mortgage. Arguments against suites included concerns about parking, crowding, traffic congestion and fairness in property taxes and utility costs. Mayor Dianne Watts supports the recommendation, but said resident concerns must be dealt with. “We’ve have to look at whether these are revenuegenerating suites, inlaw suites, that kind of thing. We also have to look at the impact on neighbourhoods and we definitely have to make sure we don’t have multiple suites in a single house,” Watts said. “We have a three-year transition period, so we’ll have time to look at everything.” Staff recommend prohibiting more than one suite per home, requiring the homeowner to live in the house and requiring a home with a suite to provide one extra off-street parking spot. The recommendation also calls for appropriate utility fees for suites to cover the cost of city services and requiring compliance with the provincial building code. There would also be a mechanism to allow neighbourhood groups to impose additional conditions within a specific area.

There are about 390 households living in Crescent Beach, but the seashore draws huge crowds on sunny days and Thomson wonders how those hundreds could be got out of the village quickly if disaster struck while the roads were blocked. Her fears are shared by Coun. Judy Villeneuve, who also lives in Crescent Beach. “Even if they don’t break down, some of those trains take 10 minutes to go through. If someone’s in a life or death situation, that does not bode well,” Villeneuve said. “I just don’t think we’d be acting in a

responsible way if we say no to this.” Jonathon Baker, a former Vancouver councillor and a lawyer who has made a career of fighting city hall, said Surrey could be liable if council rejects the proposal and the situation residents fear were to materialize. “Reasonable foreseeability is the test for negligence,” Baker explained. “This had already happened, so it’s perfectly foreseeable. If you regularly have trains long enough to block both entrances, it’s foreseeable that it’s going to happen and that it could happen during an emergency.” tcolley@thenownewspaper.com

Mailbox heist sparks fears of identity theft bours is delivered to a community mailbox in the 18600-block or 72nd Avenue, on the side of the road in front of Clayton Park.

TREES ARE THIRSTY TOO!

Summer is upon us and the weather is warm, but the trees on your street and in your yards are suffering! Just as we get thirsty in hot dry weather, so do trees. Like us, they also need long refreshing drinks of water to replenish their fluids. Please help quench the thirst of your street trees and private property trees by following these guidelines: 1.

Please water street trees and the trees in your yard twice a week.

Water thoroughly at the base of the tree for a minimum of 15 minutes (or 20 litres).

Water when it isnâ€™t raining.

Water during the cooler parts of the day (early morning and dusk).

Water slowly so that the water has time to soak into the dry soil and reach the tree roots, rather than just running off the surface.

❚ NEWS ❚BLOCK WATCH/RCMP honours Surrey residents for contributions to public safety

Volunteers take ‘zero-tolerance’ stance on crime Tom ZYTARUK Staff Reporter

Why stop now? That’s how Marjorie HomerDixon feels about her association with Surrey RCMP’s Block Watch program, after being involved for 20 years already. She and fellow Surrey Block Watch volunteers Diane Goodale, Ursula Clark, May Taylor and Jack Waters received certificates of appreciation from Surrey RCMP Chief Supt. Fraser MacRae for 20 years of service during a special ceremony at the detachment building in Newton. “Thank you so much for the contribution you’ve made to public safety,” MacRae told the volunteers. Interestingly, the long-time volunteers’ audience comprised a group of Mounties who have less than six month’s service with the force. For them, Homer-Dixon had some words of advice. She told the rookies that they may get calls from residents who are upset about what might seem like little things in the big picture, “but to us it’s really important.” She told them that residents

are striving to make their neighbourhoods as close to “zerotolerance” for crime as possible. Drunken parties are a big deal, she said. Today Homer-Dixon is the area co-ordinator for what the Surrey RCMP calls District 3, or

Newton, covering 58.7 square kilometres and a population of about 130,000 residents. The Block Watch Program began in B.C. in 1986. It helps forge bonds between neighbours and gets more residents involved in their immediate community.

More eyes on the street help defeat crime. Homer-Dixon started out as a captain in 1989, after moving to the middle-class neighbourhood of Boundary Park from Ottawa. She was drawn into the program about a month after moving

in, after roving groups of teens were drinking in local parks, creating a mess and kicking in fences. “There were a couple of seniors that felt quite terrorized by this,” she recalled. “Garage doors were spray painted, and I think the needle that broke the camel’s back was the setting on fire of a mat at a front door, and this house had a couple of kids in it. We thought, ‘That’s it.’” She put up notices around her neighbourhood, contacted the Surrey RCMP and asked for a Mountie to attend a meeting at the neighbourhood pond. The rest is history. Today, she said, unruly partying “is still a big thing, but it’s more drugs. It’s a lot of drugs unfortunately. Drug dealing, drug using. There have been some grow-ops. It’s not as bad as some areas in District 3, but we still see the (dial-a-dope) cars coming up.” She definitely plans to continue her volunteer work with Block Watch in her neighbourhood. “I live there, so why not? There are a lot of other people that are coming up too.”

Couple charged with swiping $168K from Surrey schools SURREY – Two forTed mer Surrey school district COLLEY Staff Reporter employees are facing theft and fraud charges stemming from allegations they stole $167,689.32 US from the district. Robert “Bob” Chadwick is charged with one count each of theft over $5,000, fraud over $5,000 and breach of trust by a public officer. His wife, Barbara Chadwick (nee Moore) is charged with one count each of theft over $5,000 and fraud over $5,000.

mental targets. “Renovating aging, provincially-owned properties is an important element of the provincial housing strategy and ensures affordable housing will be available to British Columbians who need it,” Coleman said. The solar panels are expected to reduce Greenbrook’s consumption of electricity from B.C. Hydro by about 10 per cent with further reductions due to the use of heat pumps to heat and cool the units. The government aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in B.C. by one-third by 2020 and to make government operations carbon neutral this year. Victoria will spend more than $562 million on affordable housing in the 2010-11 fiscal year, more than four times the amount spent in 2001.

❚POLITICS

A general crankiness seems to have taken hold of the electorate, which is bad news for politicians of all Keith stripes. BALDREY As a result, it has become increasingly difficult to have a rational political debate about various issues. I detect this anger on radio phone-in shows, in emails I get from viewers and readers and from posts on various forms of social media, including Facebook and personal blogs. And I hear from strangers who stop me on the street, ready to vent their hostility toward politicians and governments of various shapes and sizes. It’s not all directed at the B.C. Liberal government, although I think the Liberals attract the biggest portion of anger from voters right now. The other day, while walking down busy Government Street in downtown Victoria, I was accosted by two of the many merchants who have stores there. Yes, they said, they weren’t too happy about the HST, but what was really making them angry right now was the rising cost of municipal property taxes. They pointed to a couple of recent store vacancies, attributed they said, to property taxes in the tens of thousands of dollars. I just finished reading a few emails from folks upset about another BC Hydro rate hike, which comes even as the Crown corporation reports huge earnings every year. Last week, there was the reannouncement of the new Port Mann Bridge being a year ahead of completion. Nothing new there, except a reminder that everyone will be paying a rising toll for crossing it when it’s done in 2012.

Irrational anger is spreading across B.C.

Throw in the carbon tax that went up again at the beginning of the month, plus the HST, which has boosted the price of everyone’s latté, and you’ve got a lot of reasons to explain why people appear to be so frustrated. I’m sure a lot of folks feel they are getting dinged everywhere they turn these days, and they’re tired of it. And so they are taking out their anger and frustration on institutions, officials and politicians. Check out some of the vitriolic bile to be found on the internet. Google “Gordon Campbell” and “HST” and see what comes up. It’s not so much the websites that come off reading like the ravings of seriously angry people, it’s the comment threads that follow many blogs and internet articles. Because such postings are anonymous, people feel free to vent their spleens and spew hateful stuff. And it’s not just Campbell who is a target on the internet. NDP leader Carole James seems to be despised by many of the same people who profess to be Campbell haters. Here she is with a 20-plus point lead in opinion polls, and there are

still those on the left who want to decapitate her leadership. Two recent articles in left-wing media outlets reflect the angst on the left. The comments following the articles for the most part excoriated James and demanded that she step down before the next election. This doesn’t make sense. But it is further evidence of an irrational anger that is spread across the political spectrum. For example, it has been near impossible to have a rational debate on the HST. I’ve pointed out the NDP estimates the average “hit” to a consumer from the HST is about $520 annually, which works out to $10 a week or about $1.50 a day. But when I use those stats to make the point that the HST, while unpopular, may not be quite as horrific as some insist, I get denounced as a Liberal apologist or worse. Anyone who sticks their head up right now runs the risk of it getting shot off. The trouble is, I don’t see any relief any time soon on any front. Unless the courts throw it out, the HST is likely here to stay. (In fact, even if court action derails it, I suspect it will only be

temporary relief.) Our BC Hydro rates will continue to increase, for at least a few years. The carbon tax will go up again next year, and our municipal property taxes will continue to climb. And that Port Mann Bridge toll will take effect a couple of years from now, and the prospect of more tolls cannot be discounted. Everyone will continue to get dinged, over and over again. And I’m not sure when that crankiness and disenchantment will end. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter with Global B.C. KBaldrey@globaltv.com

Thanks for supporting Surrey’s young ball players The Editor, Re: “What a weekend!’ the Now’s front page, July 20. It was with a smile on my face that I enjoyed your front page last Tuesday. Years ago, my son played soccer with Will Smith. But coincidently, my son and others who played with Will are playing for our provincial championship in the B.C. Minor Baseball League. It would be great to have a picture of our Peewee Team winning in our park. Maybe a little bit of good natured, competition between the two leagues. The Surrey Canadian team won their provincial tournament in the Mosquito division and are now attempting to win the Peewee division in their home park again this year. We are a team of underdogs with a lot of heart and determination. Come watch us play beginning on July 29. We’ll have visitors from around the province in our backyard for the long weekend. There will be a lot of good ball and fun times.

needs no recognition. People capable of this kind of ignorance and degree of disrespect may well be proud to have their acts in print. Makes them famous, eh? Hopefully this kind of “reporting” will not serve to incite more violence.

A well-deserved win

Harvinder’s great

The Editor, Re: “What a weekend!’ the Now’s front page, July 20. I’m one of the proud moms of the Whalley team that just won the District Championships. This is such a huge success for all our boys. They have been working so hard since October of last year, up to five days a week – batting, fielding and pitching practise. All the parents would rush home from work to get their kid to “work” on time. It has been a long road, a well-deserved win. The dedication and love of the game has been felt from the top of our heads to the tip of all our toes.

The Editor, I thoroughly enjoy Harvinder Sandhu’s col-

umn in your newspaper. I find her funny and witty and I usually learn something about South Asian culture with each column. Keep up the good work!

Colon hydrotherapy, is a centuries-old therapy using purified temperature controlled (100) degrees water to flush accumulated fecal waste, harmful bacteria, intestinal parasites, gas and mucus from the colon. It is a safe and gentle yet powerful way to cleanse the body, and to make all body systems and organs more efficient. The most important benefit of colon Hydrotherapy is relieving the body of toxic build-up which can dramatically improve bowel function. Whereas accumulated fecal matter promotes the growth of undesirable bacteria and their toxic by-products, a clean colon allows beneficial bacteria to proliferate. These beneficial bacteria manufactures important vitamins, including biotin, which is essential for the proper breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins and fats; cobalamin (vitamin B12), which promotes read blood cell formation and assists in the production of neurotransmitters (chemicals that transmit nerve impulses); and vitamin K, a key factor in normal blood-clotting and in the development of healthy bone structures. Colon Hydrotherapy improves muscle tone and facilites peristalsis movement in the bowel, which is so beneficial to the sluggish colon. This process provides relief from and prevents chronic constipation. If you suffer from any of the following symptoms of toxic build-up, then colon cleansing may benefit you: Stress, Constipation, Protruding tender of rigid abdomen, Parasites, Bad breath and coated Tongue, Fatigue, Flatulence (gas), Body odor, Skin disorders, Menstrual problems of bloating, Food cravings and Hemorrhoids.

This is a very common question, and the answer depends on many things. If the dentures are worn in your pocket, they will probably last forever, however dentures are and were meant to be worn in the mouth.

The best thing denture wearers can do if their denture is more than 3 years old and it has not been looked at by a dental professional, is to call our ofﬁce. I’d be happy to see you and give you some complimentary advice. Don’t wait until you feel like something is wrong - that’s how irreversible damage to the structure that supports the denture can occur, and that is exactly what we would like to prevent.

Who’s ever heard of a pageant win- Roxanne HOOPER ner who is married and has a child? Now contributor Sounds more like a scandal in the making — but not the case in an international pageant that recently caught the attention of Jane Gagne. The Clayton Heights model, commercial actor and business owner threw her hat in the proverbial ring and will be representing Canada at the Mrs. World 2010 pageant in Korea in October. In this competition, Gagne’s marital status, and the fact that she has a two-year-old son, are seen as positive attributes. In fact, this competition is only open to married women. Only young wives, mothers, even grandmothers need apply. “I sort of felt I was retired after I said ‘I do’,” said Gagne, 29, who has been competing in, and won, various pageants at the local and national level over the past eight years. “I am the former Miss Vancouver and have numerous other titles, but this is the largest and most prestigious pageant I will be competing in,” she said. She’d never heard much about the Mrs. World competition before, Gagne admitted. Almost by fluke, just after her wedding in March, she was surfing the Internet when she stumbled across the Mrs. World website (www.mrsworld.com). She signed up immediately. There is no qualifying pageant in Canada for the Mrs. World competition, so Gagne was selected based on her online application, which listed her charity work and past pageant wins, as well as several pictures. “It’s the whole package that they’re looking for,” she said. “It’s not necessarily the five-foot, 10-inch beauty queen they’re looking for. They’re looking for wellrounded individuals with families.” Gagne will spend three weeks in Korea attending charity events, touring the country and taking part in the pageant, which will be televised internationally. Three weeks is a “very long time” to be away from her baby boy, Christian, not to mention her new husband, Michael. But thanks to the commitments from

Shopping a chore for this candidate  continued from page 13 family to help take care of her toddler, she is set to go. “I can go there with the peace of mind that he’s good and that he’s cheering me on,” she said, noting that Dad agreed to keep Christian up late to watch Mom when she’s on TV. Gagne said she’s anxious to give this competition her all, describing it as possibly one last hurrah for her pageant diaries. Typical of others, this pageant consists of evening wear, swimwear, costumes (representing their country) and interview. One of her recent tasks has been to go shopping for clothes — not a hardship for most women but, for Gagne, it was nothing short of a chore. She needs a dress and a national costume, plus numerous wardrobe changes before her departure in the fall. “I’m a mom, so I don’t have a ton of suits and dresses. I’m very casual,” the Prairieraised girl said with a snicker. “I wear sweats and jeans most of the time.” Since her new husband won’t let her take their bank account to the mall, she’s devoted some time recently to successfully hunting out sponsors for her evening gown and some of the other required garments. “Some girls expect to spend $10,000 on a dress. That doesn’t happen when you have children. I’m definitely a budget-friendly person,” Gagne said, recalling how she cinched her last crown while sporting a gown that cost a whopping $10. In addition to shopping and sponsor

She signed up to help with Bold for Breast Cancer, an organization that sells fundraising calendars featuring images of men and women with breast cancer logos painted on their bodies. Prepping for this pageant has also forced Gagne to hit the gym more frequently and also turn up the dial on yoga exercises with

In Surrey, the SPCAhosted event happens Sunday, Sept. 12 at Crescent Park. “Participants begin registering now and fundraise in their own communities all summer long,” said Denise Meade, the society’s director of development. “It’s quite inspiring to see the truly innovative and selfless ways people help animals.” Car washes, garage sales, shaving contests — they’ve all been held in the past to raise money for the Paws cause. One guy even had people sponsor his weight loss, pledging him an amount per pound. “He lost more than 50 pounds and raised thousands of dollars to help homeless, abused and neglected animals,” said Meade.

her sister. “Running around after a two-year-old all day is a lot of exercise,” Gagne said. But it’s not quite enough and, having been a model since age 14 and a regular in commercials and swimsuit advertising, she knows it takes a little more effort to make sure her body and mind are ready. Two years ago, there was little hope Gagne was going anywhere in a swimsuit, let alone on an international stage in front of thousands of people and television cameras. She’d put on 75 pounds during her pregnancy and topped the scales at just over 200. Just by looking at her, it’s apparent she’s worked hard to get that extra weight off. She now feels a “little more comfortable” in a bathing suit. While she recognizes there’s a component of surface beauty that will be judged in the pageant, Gagne said she’s going to Seoul this fall to have fun and be herself. “Sure, it still gives you an opportunity to get out there, to show the world what you have. But for me, it gives me an opportunity to showcase all sides of me,” Gagne said. What motivates this young mother most, she said, is the fact that the winner will become an advocate for women’s charities, and travel the world making appearances and sharing her voice with married women all over the world. “Besides,” she said, “there’s never been a winner from Canada, and that’s important because hopefully there will be this year.” — Langley Advance

Mirrors, paint sheen (and more) matter in small spaces Homes

There are a few tricks of the trade when dealing with small spaces. Even using just a few of these examples can make a world of difference. Karly Consider the materiPAUL-MORRIS als being used in the room. Wood pieces, such a chunky hope chest used for a coffee table, will appear much heavier than a table with legs that allow air to flow through. In general, wood makes a room seem smaller, so use these pieces sparingly. Anything made of metals — chrome and brushed nickel table legs with glass tops, for example — will make a room appear larger. Colour will play a big role in the room size. People often ask me if dark colours will visually decrease the size of the room. Unfortunately, there isn’t an easy answer for this, as there are several things to consider. One is to look at the amount of actual wall space in the room. A room can be quite large but have very few walls, especially in the open-concept designs. So a room can easily be painted a deep, rich colour without closing in the walls when there are few walls to be concerned with. That said, I have often painted selected dark colours in small bathrooms or closed-in dining rooms, and they look great. The sheen of the paint can make a big difference, especially in dealing with

Less is more in small spaces of the home. Don’t overcrowd the room. Big pieces of furniture can be used in a room, just have fewer of them. dark colours. For bathrooms, I suggest a satin finish. It gives a little bit more sheen and adds life to the deeper shades. There are specific bathroom paints that are recommended that do not show the condensation streaks. Keep in mind, the higher the gloss level, the easier it is to

see any imperfections on the walls and ceiling. I recently painted a flat ceiling with a high sheen and I love the way the light bounces off it. If a room doesn’t have a lot of natural light, this little trick can work wonders. Think vertical! When dealing with a

small space, create as much height in the room as possible. A tall book shelf or armoire (preferably light in colour) will tend to make the room bigger. Displaying a large piece of artwork or painting that is vertical in shape will tend to draw the eye up. As mentioned earlier, use pieces of furniture with legs. Anything the eye can see through will create the feeling of space. Using mirrors, whether on the walls or on the new mirrored furniture, will enhance the size of your room. Just don’t place mirrors in dining or kitchen areas, because nobody wants to watch themselves eat! Less is more. Don’t overcrowd the room. Big pieces of furniture can be used in a room, just have fewer of them. If possible, use built-in pieces as much as possible. If there is a closet in the room, try taking off the doors and painting the shelves a contrasting colour, or exchange them for glass. It will instantly add three feet of visual space to your room. I have opened up walls and used closets from other rooms in order to buy more space. An armoire might come in handy for the room that lost its closet. Finish off the look to your new built-in shelving area by installing trim around the opening. You will be amazed at how much larger a room will appear with the added depth.

❚ SUMMER ETC. ❚EVENTS

Bards, broncos and the blues: August hot with festivals in B.C. Once more unto the Sue KERNAGHAN beach, dear friends! Contributing writer Vancouver’s Bard on the Beach Shakespeare Festival celebrates its 21st season this year with everyone’s favourite Plantagenet, Henry V, as well as Much Ado about Nothing, Antony and Cleopatra and Falstaff — all played all summer against an ocean and mountain backdrop in seaside Vanier Park. When those red and white tents appear on the beach, it’s a sign that festival season has begun in British Columbia. And it’s not all blank verse and rhyming couplets (although there is plenty of that). B.C.’s festivals can be anything from seaside jazz jams to lakeside wine fests, from beachside boogies to fiddlers in the woods. Here’s a guide to partying around the province this summer. One of the many wonderful things about B.C.’s festivals — and especially Vancouver’s — is how much fun can be had for free. Many free events, plus a wealth of ticketed world music, jazz and classical performances are in store in August, when MusicFest Vancouver brings multiple concerts to venues around town. Top among the freebies is Vancouver’s biggest and most fabulous street parade. More than 600,000 people are expected to crowd the streets Aug. 1, as the Vancouver Pride Parade boogies its way through the city’s West End to Sunset Beach. Beach-side festivities will showcase live music, a beer garden, and a celebration of Vancouver’s LGBT (lesbian, gay, bi-sexual and transgender) community. Headliners at this totally inclusive event include Israeli pop star Yehonathan and Cher tribute artist Cera Rivers. Summer 2010 is also your chance to see some gravity-defying performers, as Kooza, from Cirque du Soleil, opened last week at Concord Place. Daily performances tell the story of a melancholy loner in search of his place in the world through two classic circus traditions: acrobatic performance and the art of clowning. If you can only be in Victoria for one day this year, opt for Aug. 1, when Victoria Symphony Orchestra plays a free

concert (donations towards the Victoria Symphony are accepted). Dubbed the Victoria Symphony Splash, this concert is set on a floating stage in the Inner Harbour; expect crowds and fireworks. More tunes, Island style, happen on Labour Day weekend when the Vancouver Island Blues Bash brings all manner of blues music to an outdoor stage in the Inner Harbour. This summer, Kamloops sets the scene for one of Western Canada’s largest celebrations of First Nations culture during the annual Kamloopa Pow Wow. This three-day gathering (July 30 to Aug. 1) promises traditional storytelling, song and dance, with participants in stunning, full regalia. Looking for a more traditional style of music? Then check out the Princeton Traditional Music Festival, set to bring two and a half days of Celtic music, sea shanties, bagpipes, ballads, accordions, cowboy poetry and more to Princeton in late August. The whole event, from the Friday night street dance to the last strains of fiddle music on Sunday evening, is free. Of course you can simply sip and sample your way along the winery-rich Okanagan Valley this summer. The Okanagan Summer Wine Festival is set for Aug. 13-14, with tastings and seminars at Vernon’s Silver Star Mountain Resort. Can’t make it? Okanagan Wine Festivals run in the fall, winter and spring as well. Or stick around until Aug. 22, when the second annual Okanagan Feast of Fields celebrates the bounty of the region at Brock Farm, near Okanagan Falls. (Additional Feast of Fields events take place on Vancouver Island and at Delta’s Wellbrook Winery.) The Cariboo Chilcotin Coast is B.C.’s “wild west,” where they ride and rope, rock and roll, and watch one-minute plays. The summer action kicked off on the Canada Day weekend with bull riding, barrel racing, bronco riding and more at the 84th annual Williams Lake Stampede, one of Canada’s biggest and oldest rodeos.

A clown from Kooza, the latest Cirque du Soleil to hit Vancouver. The fun-for-all production opened last week under the ultra-colourful Grand Chapiteau at Concord Place.

Music at ‘edge of world,’ Shakespeare in the bush

 continued from page 21 One-minute plays are staged at the ArtsWells Festival, set for July 30 to Aug. 2, when hundreds of artists, musicians, actors and fans more than double the population of this tiny Cariboo Mountain town. Highlights include the International OneMinute Play Festival and a wealth of workshops, from geodesic dome construction to needlefelting. Just down the road is the historic town of Barkerville, one of Western Canada’s biggest heritage attractions. Riffing somewhat on Vancouver’s famous Bard on the Beach event, the second annual Bard in the Bush Shakespeare Festival brings blank verse to Nelson’s Gyro Park. Shakespeare Shorts IV — popular scenes plucked from a hat by the audience — ran until July 24; act two happens Aug. 24-25, when Nelson Youth Theatre performs As You Like It. And if you’re lucky enough to be in Nelson, lace up for ArtWalk, when downtown businesses morph into galleries for most of the summer. Those long summer nights bring out the bands up north, with virtually every community across the region hosting a music festival this summer. The Edge of the World Music Festival brings bands and fans to Tlell, on Haida Gwaii, Aug. 68. Not remote enough for you? Check out the Robson Valley Music Festival on Aug.

❚ SUMMER ETC. ❚FOOD

Marinate it, sear it and rest that meat before you eat tion is even more fragile than chicken. Seafood should usually be marinated for a mere 30 minutes to an hour. The flavour combinations that can be added to a marinade are literally endless. Crushed garlic, herbs, spices and condiments are just a few. Be creative! Flavour creation does not only exist by marinating. Searing meats, marinated or not, is very important. There is virtually no cooking method that should exempt one from searing meat first. This develops a crust that will carry flavour all the way through to the finished dish. Stew, for example, has a more developed beef flavour when the stew meat pieces are browned prior to the addition of other ingredients. Many people assume searing seals juices inside the meat. This is incorrect, as no amount of searing can prevent the loss of moisture. The flavour in crust development can be enhanced even further by the addition of seasoning. If the meat has not been marinating, you may want to add salt and pepper to the meat prior to searing. This simple seasoning will then become part of the meat’s outer shell. Applying dry rubs, consisting of a mixture of many different spices prior to searing, is popular for adding a complexity of flavours. Searing should be done at a high temperature with an amount of oil that prevents sticking. Do not crowd the pan

the pan and loosen these bits with a wooden spoon. Use this liquid as part of the sauce, or reduce it further it to make it a sauce of its own. The reduction process of this liquid will cause water to evaporate, thus concentrating the flavours and creating a desired sauce consistency. Taste and adjust the sauce as necessary prior to serving. Dear Chef Dez, I heard that it important to let a beef roast “rest” when it comes out of the oven, before carving it. Is this true? Brad B., Abbotsford

Searing also creates “browned bits” (called fond) on the bottom of a pan. Fond will also add depth in flavour to a sauce being created. To achieve this, add a liquid (such as wine or stock) to

Russell Lighting 2010/2011

Dear Brad, This is true. Actually, it is true with all cuts of meat, not just beef roasts. The “resting” period gives the meat time to adjust as it makes the transition from the extreme heat to room temperature. During the cooking process, the high heat causes atoms in the molecular structure of the meat to move at a high rate of speed. If the meat is cut into soon after it has been removed from the oven, grill or pan, it will lose a large degree of its vital juices that keep it moist and flavourful.

For many of us, meat is an important part of our daily diet. Whether it be beef, lamb, pork or chicken, it is important to know the basics of creating the most flavour possible. Chef Marinades seem to DEZ be first and foremost in people’s minds when it comes to creating flavour in cooked meats. Although they do create flavour, they are also important in making a cut of meat more tender. The best marinades are made from the simplest of ingredients you already have in your home. Please don’t rely on the packages of powder you find at the supermarkets. Marinades are made from a base, an acid and flavourful ingredients. The base of a marinade is usually oil, as this will aid in the cooking process. An acid, such as vinegar, wine or lemon juice, is added to break down the tougher proteins found in the meat. Red meats and pork, depending on the cuts, are the toughest, and are best marinated anywhere from one hour up to 24 hours. Chicken proteins are much more delicate and are more preferably marinated for no longer than four to six hours. Over-marinated chicken will actually start to become tough. The same follows with seafood, as its protein composi-

❚ SUMMER ETC. ❚PARENTING

With kids, better safe than sorry this summer Mom’sLife

Summer is the best time for kids to have fun and let loose a bit. However, it can also be a very dangerous time, when children are most likely to be injured. Kids may not be Kelley aware of the dangers SCARSBROOK — but every parent should be. It’s up to us to set rules and boundaries for our children to keep them safe and out of harm’s way. That means we may not be popular sometimes but I, for one, am not in it to win a popularity contest. Parents just need to use common sense to keep their children safe from the known dangers of summer. Each year, there are reported incidents of a parent leaving their child in a sweltering car alone, while they run in to the grocery store to get that one “important” thing. Trust me when I say, nothing is ever more important than your child being able to breathe and saying safe from strangers. Even if a child screams and yells that they don’t want to go into the store with you, take them anyway. Or, better yet, take them home and return later when it’s a better time. Our suntan lotion standards have changed with the times. I make sure my children wear proper sunscreen at all times, and reapply after a couple of hours. Most cases of skin cancer could be avoid-

ed if people practiced proper sun safety. When I was growing up, a SPF rating of “4” was considered a decent amount of protection from the sun. Today, I put a “45” on my children, who are both blond and extremely fair. Also, I don’t send them out in the midday sun when rays are strongest. Back in the 1970s, I constantly ran around with no shoes on throughout the neighbourhood — that is, until one evening when I was at my friend’s house playing tag on their front lawn and stepped on a broken in-ground sprinkler. The parent had known about the broken sprinkler, but forgot to advise the children of it. The cut went so deep that, to this day, I still have a long scar on the bottom of my foot. Ensuring that your children are wearing sandals — or at least flip-flops — when they are running around is just good sense. When I was nine and went on a family vacation, the sun’s rays burned my head so badly, it hurt to brush my hair for a week straight. My mom told me to wear a hat, but I kept taking it off. I never want my children to experience that kind of pain, so I ensure they wear their hats when we are outside playing. They may not like to wear them sometimes, but the alternative of sunburn and harmful exposure is just not an option. So the hats are non-negotiable. Parents should never assume that their child is completely responsible when it come to their road-safety skills. A parent

A hat and sunscreen are nobrainers for kids — but make them wear something on their feet this summer, too.

may think their six-year-old knows the rules of the road, but they should never be left alone on the street to test that theory. Children under 10 aren’t able to make safe judgments about traffic situations, and can be easily distracted. As a parent, it is important to monitor them at all times. My husband and I even put a sign up in the middle of the street when our children ride their bikes, giving drivers a “heads up” that there are children on the road. Helmets are also a definite must, to protect their heads in case

of a spill. This goes for bikes and scooters alike. So go out there and have some fun with your kids this summer. But please, use common sense.

Website ‘keeps dreams alive’ overseas

Sports

The beautiMichael BOOTH ful game isn’t Sports Editor the only kind of football played in Europe — just ask Roger Kelly. The Whalley resident is doing his part to help football players and coaches in North America use their sport to broaden their personal horizons. Thanks to Kelly’s website — europlayers. com — hundreds of athletes have discovered their football careers don’t necessarily end when they graduate from college. “It’s actually a surprise to many players that they can continue to pursue football after college that’s not the NFL (National Football League) or CFL (Canadian Football League),” Kelly said. “It’s a lower level admittedly, but I encourage players to do it because if they’re playing, they’re getting current game film. Their pro hopes in North America aren’t dead, they just have to make sure people see them and if they’re not playing, nobody will see them. If you lose a year that will really hurt you because no coach is going to look at game film that’s two years old.” Kelly is no stranger to the game of football, or to European travel. A former public relations manager with the B.C. Lions, Kelly has also coached at the minor and junior levels. Prior to that, Kelly lived in Europe for 20 years and regularly travels there annually on business. Two years ago, those two interests merged when Kelly discovered europlayers.com, a website based in London and operated by Anthony Bodineau. Kelly was soon partnered in the venture and set about spreading the word in North America about the opportunities for playing football on the eastern side of the Atlantic. The biggest challenge the europlayers.com partners face is simply making players and coaches aware of how widespread the game is in Europe. Most people believe that when the NFL pulled the plug on its NFL Europe venture in 2007, the Americans took every inflated pigskin on the continent with them when they left. Not so. In fact, football was being played long before the NFL folks

Whalley’s Roger Kelly goes online to link football players and coaches with teams in Europe. In his ❚PHOTO/Brian Howell second year with europlayers.com, Kelly is excited about how the site is evolving. arrived and the game continues to have a following throughout Europe today. “I was aware of the European leagues before because of my connections with football and having travelled there so many times I had seen it on television there — especially in Germany,” Kelly said. “What I was not aware of however, was how widespread it is and that you can connect with so many people through football in Europe. That’s really been amazing to me.” How widespread? To begin with, leagues operate in almost every country in Europe, including France, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Belgium, Austria, Finland, Norway, Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Ireland and Luxemburg. Yes, even Luxemburg. And there’s not just one league in each country, there’s often multiple tiers of teams. There are seven levels of football in Germany, three in Belgium and

Spain and four in France. As can be expected, the structure of the assorted levels follows the soccer model. The bottom two teams in a level are dropped to the next lowest tier at the end of the season while the two top teams at the lower level are promoted. The number of import players allowed to play on a given team varies depending on the league. Austria is typical with rules permitting a team to have as many as four import players with a maximum of two on the field at any one time. Some leagues count imports as coming from North America, others count other Europeans as imports. The role europlayers.com plays is as a facilitator linking potential players and coaches with the teams in Europe. Structured as a kind of electronic bulletin board, players and coaches can post their resumés and game film on the site for European teams to review.

With more than 16,000 players and coaches listed on the site and 300 to 500 more players added each month, the site currently gets over 1,000,000 hits each month. The site was recently featured in an article on Sports Illustrated’s web edition. “We’re helping people keep their dreams alive and I like that,” Kelly said. Now in his second year of involvement with the website, Kelly is excited about the way it is evolving. The site was intended to link players and coaches with teams in Europe but recently the traffic across the Atlantic has become two-way. Savvy college coaches in North America are starting to use the site as a means of recruiting talented players from Europe to come play at their schools. “We just want to keep building this,” Kelly said. “We get feedback every day and we’re always trying to make it better.” mbooth@thenownewspaper.com

Abbotsford won’t have to spend a nickel on tourism advertising if the likes of Adam Hadwin — yes, another one of those Abbotsford golfers who is doing all the right things these days — continue to grab the headlines. Hadwin didn’t win the RBC Canadian Open on the weekend but he played some pretty good golf, picked up $20,000 and gets some days off before he heads back to the Canadian Tour.

Svensson wins third title in as many weeks Surrey’s Adam Svensson joins a very exclusive club with his win at the B.C. Men’s Amateur Championship, held in Castlegar last week. The 16-year-old adds the latest hardware to his collection, which includes both provincial titles – the B.C. Junior Boy’s Championship and the Callaway Junior World Golf title. That makes three major victories in as

many weeks. The men’s title is particularly noteworthy as Svensson is the youngest player ever to pick up the honours. He joins legendary B.C. Amateur champ Doug Roxburg as well as James Harper, James Lepp and Eugene Wong, who have all won double Amateur championships. Svensson was two under par through 11 holes in Friday’s

Just making the cut is a big deal in my books, considering that 15 Canadians entered and only three — Jon Mills, Stephen Ames and Hadwin — made the cut. That’s good on a really tough course. Hadwin might not have had his magic moment if it hadn’t been for some members at the Morgan Creek Golf Club, who according to Hadwin, chipped in $60,000 to jump-start his pro career. According to Hadwin, I made them a deal they couldn’t refuse. While many were cheering him on, dad Gerry, who works at Morgan Creek, his brother and coach all took the red-eye Saturday night to catch the final day. He played under a lot of pressure and for a young man on the way up, it looks like there is a lot more sunshine in this bright golf future. Eventual winner Carl Pettersson was downing a few beers on Friday night thinking he had not made the cut. He did, barely, and went to post a 60 and 67 to win, erasing Dean Wilson’s 4-stroke lead going into the final day. That’s the best 36 holes shot in the long history of the Canadian Open. If you didn’t hear much from the chunky Swede in 2009 there is a good reason. According to Pettersson he took off 30 pounds and with that his golf game disappeared. Pettersson spent the winter putting those 30 pounds back on and back came his game. “I am not the typical Swedish golfer eating bananas and nutrition bars,” he said.

Chips Shots While one Adam was doing his part at the Canadian Open, another one of the young crop of outstanding B.C. golfers, Adam Svensson of Surrey, put together four solid rounds of 67-71-68-70 and claimed the 2010 BC Amateur title at the Castlegar Golf Club. Svensson carded an eagle on the par-5 16th hole, which pretty well sealed the championship. What a run he has been on. Winning the BC Junior title, the Callaway Age World Championship, and now the Amateur — and the youngest ever to win the title. “I was hitting the ball great and I putted great,” he said. “I was plus one on the front, so pressure was on for the back. I was one up on 15. Justin doubled and I eagled 16. That took the pressure off to par it in.” Nick Taylor of Abbotsford, Eugene Wong of North Vancouver, Darren Wallace and Svensson will make up the BC Willingdon Cup Team at the Canadian Amateur Championship at London Hunt/Redtail Golf Course in London, Ont. Aug. 10–15. Good luck guys.

round when a birdie at 15 and his second eagle of the week at the par-five 16th put him out of reach of all his competitors. He finished eight under at 276. “I was hitting the ball great and I putted great,” said Svensson. “I was plus one on the front, so pressure was on for the back. I was one up on 15. Justin (Shin) doubled and I eagled 16. That took the pressure off to par it in.”

Your BC Lions — In Their Own Words I grew up in Johnstown, Pennsylvania and have been playing football since I was in the seventh grade. From very early on, I knew I wanted to play professional football and focusing on that goal kept me motivated to do well in high school and get in to university so I’d have an opportunity to realize my dream. After 10 seasons with the Lions, I still love coming to work every day and doing whatever I can on offence to help this club win a championship for the CFL’s best fans. Growing up, I saw firsthand what could happen to kids who don’t stay focused on their goals so I’m very aware of making sure my own children are surrounded by positive influences, whether it’s encouraging my teenage son to do well in high school or coaching my younger son’s football team. It’s also a big reason why I love taking part in our club’s community programs. Among the programs I take part in, I would say the Lions Pride program is one of the most rewarding because I’ve seen firsthand what happens to a young person’s life when they make the right choices. The decisions a youth makes today will affect them tomorrow and I take pride in knowing I may have helped direct one of these young people down a positive path.

EXTENDED

The Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) came into effect on July 1st, increasing the cost of funerals by 7%. In many cases, this amounts to an increase of $500 or more. While we assisted hundreds of families with their prearrangements prior to the July 1st deadline, many others were unable to complete their plans before the HST became effective.

We’re happy to announce that First Memorial Services Fraser Heights Chapel is extending the pre-HST savings – but only for a limited time. By planning ahead you will: • Relieve your family of the emotional and ﬁnancial burden an unplanned funeral can cause • Prevent emotional overspending • Lock in prices at today’s rates

❚ AUTO

How to pick a vehicle that’s good on gas ❚ Do some research before you leave home – The Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) website, www.vehicles.nrcan.gc.ca, lets you compare the fuel consumption of various makes and models of vehicles for a specific year; ❚ Check out the EnerGuide Label – Compare vehicles using the EnerGuide label that is found on all new cars. The label shows city and highway fuel consumption ratings and an estimated annual fuel cost for that particular vehicle. The values may not be perfect but they’re a start; ❚ Choose a vehicle that fits your everyday needs in terms of size and power – Put some serious thought into your space and cargo needs – do you really need a minivan when a compact would do? Passenger cars with smaller engines tend to deliver better fuel economy than those with larger engines. Keep in mind horsepower levels have doubled over the past two decades and the power available in today’s subcompact cars exceeds that of many midsize sedans of the mid-1980s; ❚ Choose a manual instead of an automatic transmission – Look for the transmission option that minimizes fuel consumption. Generally speaking, manuals will use less fuel, saving up to 100 litres a year; ❚ Two-wheel drive vs. four-wheel drive – The added weight and drivetrain losses you get with four-wheel and ‘all-wheel’ drive systems increase fuel consumption. Although all-wheel drive can offer better traction when accelerating under slippery conditions, it doesn’t assist in turning or braking; there is no substitute for safe driving habits; ❚ Think about your extras – Accessories and power features can be a big drag on an engine, increasing fuel consumption. How much do you really need a sunroof or roof rack? Are they worth the increased fuel consumption and emissions?

The Looks A wide track, a long wheelbase, short body overhangs and big, big wheels give the Edge a squat and determined look. A bigger version of Ford’s now-familiar threebar chrome grille aligns with headlights that appear small relative to its body size. The hood is short by way of a cab-forward that gives the Edge a steeply raked windshield. My test Edge came with an optional panorama (Vista) sun roof, which has two sections. The rear is fixed, but the front section can open fully or tilt partially open. The Inside The Edge is bigger than it looks in photos and that’s very apparent when you move inside it. There’s a spacious airy feel to the cabin and rearseat room is particularly good. Riders in the back also get adjustable seatbacks, but the seat cushions are lower than the front positions, so it’s a knees-up seating position. Safety Standard safety features include dual front airbags, front seat-mounted side-impact airbags and side-curtain airbags with rollover protection for both rows of seating. Active safety features include anti-lock brakes, traction control and (AdvanceTrac) electronic stability control, which also comes with a roll-over mitigation feature. The Drive Performance-wise, the Sport edition of the Edge is no different than any other trim level, but it does look like it could go faster. That said, its V-6 engine produces a good range of power and the six-speed automatic transmission shifts very smoothly, but it’s obviously geared to provide good fuel economy and doesn’t have a manual mode. A leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift lever are part of the Sport interior upgrade. The wheel also has manually operated tilt-andtelescopic adjustments, to help find a good driving position. Unfortunately, no rest pedal for the left foot is provided. Despite the reduced cushioning effect of the narrow tire sidewall on the big 22-inch wheels, the Edge still offers a surprisingly comfortable ride. So, you get a flashy big-wheel skinny-tire look without paying the usual ride quality penalty. The Edge uses a conventional all-wheel-drive system, with a centre viscous coupling that alters power to the front or rear wheels depending on the traction available at any given time. The Score A ute with attitude, the Ford Edge is a multipurpose vehicle that’s right for the times and looks even better in this sporty new edition.

09 NISSAN PATHFINDER

The Edge was Ford’s first David CHAO entry in the mid-sized crossNow Contributor utility market when it was introduced as a ‘07-model-year vehicle, and a Sport version is a new addition to the 2009 lineup. When compared with a traditional truckbased SUV, such as the Ford Explorer, the Edge offers better fuel economy, sexier styling and superior road manners without giving up too much in the way of utility. A lower floor and seat height also makes getting in and out of an Edge an easier task, yet it still possesses almost as much ground clearance (just five millimetres less than the Explorer) to traverse a rough back road with ease. The handling advantage of Edge on paved roads is mainly due to a more stable, lowercentre-of-gravity design (that’s also 75 kilograms lighter than the Explorer), as well as its all-wheel drive system and fully independent suspension. A new standard feature is what Ford calls a blind-spot mirror. It’s a normal side-view mirror with a secondary convex spotter mirror in the top outer corner. Unlike the after-market stick-on mirrors, this is one continuous glass surface and

❚ AUTO

Get your ride ready for your summer road trip with these tips

❚ Remove the roof rack – Although you might be tempted to

stack your bicycles or lifejackets on a roof rack, a loaded or empty roof rack increases fuel consumption through aerodynamic drag. Try a removable roof rack instead. ❚ Check fluid levels – Check engine oil, engine coolant, transmission fluid and power steering fluid at least once a month or as indicated in the owner’s manual, and change fluids accord-

ing to the manufacturer’s recommendations in your owner’s manual. Also check around and under the car for fluid leaks. ❚ Check for wheel alignment and brake drag that can increase fuel consumption – Check for uneven tire wear. Have your vehicle serviced regularly, and don’t rest your foot on the brake pedal when you are driving.

❚ Remove unnecessary weight – If you add weight to your vehicle for extra traction in the winter months, remember

to remove it when the snow melts. Unnecessary weight results in wasted fuel and causes unnecessary emissions.
