HORSE RACING AT FRASER DOWNS

‘THEY CAN’T JUST LET THIS DIE’

Drivers say millions in forgiven debt would sure come in handy now Ted COLLEY Staff Reporter

s far as Dave Jungquist is concerned, this is no way to run a racetrack. Jungquist is one of Fraser Downs’ top driver/trainers. It’s the only work he knows and he knows it well. Monday morning, Jungquist was in Barn B at the Cloverdale harness racing circuit, looking after his horses. Like a lot of people on the backstretch, he’s worried about the future. The track’s owners, the Great Canadian Gaming Corporation, have chopped a dozen race days out of the October to December schedule this year. GCGC has also told the provincial office that enforces gambling regulations in B.C. to erase the 2011 season, at least for the time being. The casino operator and the head of the enforcement branch say there will be racing next year, but a lot of people down in the trenches aren’t so sure. Horse racing is in trouble. Revenues

are falling and fewer punters are coming out to bet. The money is going to casinos and online gaming sites instead and outfits like GCGC are looking for ways to cut costs and boost profits. Jungquist thinks Fraser Downs’ problem is bigger than that. He believes GCGC wants to dump standardbred harness racing and move the thoroughbreds from Vancouver’s Hastings Racecourse – another GCGC operation – out to the Cloverdale track. “It’s dead certain that’s what they’re trying to do, in my opinion,” he told the Now Monday. Junquist isn’t alone. The book around Fraser Downs is that the rental GCGC pays for Hastings is too expensive for the casino company’s blood. A lot of folk out on the backstretch figure GCGC could save a bundle by moving the thoroughbreds out of Vancouver. Jungquist said when slots were first installed at Fraser Downs seven years ago, 10 per cent of the net win – the take after winners were paid out – went to the

harness racers to help them hold their own. “That lasted a little while, then we got cut back to half of that and the rest went to the thoroughbreds.” The shift in slot revenues was originally supposed to be a loan, a handout to tide the Hastings boys over until they got their own slot machines. Pretty soon they were $6 million in hock to their standardbred cousins. See YOUR LETTERS, page 11 According to another source on the backstretch who asked not to be identified, the thoroughbred bunch had paid off about $1 million when the debt was forgiven by a committee set up by the province to manage the horse racing industry. “We’ve always taken purse cuts to make sure we don’t go over budget,” the source said. “The thoroughbreds are always in the hole. They never take purse cuts.” So why, the Fraser Downs people want to know, was the multi-million debt

simply erased like it never existed? The money would be a big help to the standardbred racers right now. There were other questionable decisions, Jungquist said. Simulcast racing is a big revenue generator. Punters can bet on races broadcast from other tracks on closed circuit TV. “These guys moved our post time to 7:30 in the evening and that killed us in Ontario. Our racing wouldn’t start until 10:30 their time and it was too late, so nobody bet.” Jungquist and his colleagues understand times are changing and racing isn’t the draw it used to be, but they believe that effective advertising and post times calculated to click in the East could help turn that around. “A lot of people depend on Fraser Downs and harness racing for their living – hundreds of ’em,” Jungquist said. “They can’t just let this die.” Neither Great Canadian nor the BC Horse Racing Industry Management Committee was available for comment before the Now went to press. tcolley@thenownewspaper.com

❚ NEWS ❚EDUCATION/Six-month moratorium ‘makes sense’

A song from South Surrey

PROVINCE HALTS DEGREE DEVELOPMENT

Arden Reimer of South Surrey asks the crowd ‘Whataya Want From Me’ at the Red Robinson Talent Showdown this weekend at the 100th Fair at the PNE. The annual summer fair, an end-of-summer tradition for generations of British Columbians, features more than 700 shows, exhibits and attractions that are free with admission. The 2010 Fair at the PNE runs daily through Labour Day, Sept. 6.

SURREY – The government Elise is halting new degree proposals GRAY Now Contributor from post-secondary institutions to review and predict B.C.’s future educational needs. The six-month moratorium on degree applications announced earlier this month gave B.C. public, private and out-of-province institutions less than three weeks’ notice from the Ministry of Advanced Education and Labour Market Development before the Aug. 25 cutoff date for submissions. A statement sent on Aug. 5 from assistant deputy minister Mark Zacharia explains that the moratorium will “give the ministry an opportunity to clarify issues related to system co-ordination, linkages to labour market demand and forecasting, and to ensure government and post-secondary institutions work in partnership to collectively achieve public policy goals.” The letter mentioned possible exceptions to the moratorium for degree applications in government-identified priority areas. Though these areas were not defined, Vince Cournoyer, public affairs officer for the Ministry of Advanced Education and Labour Market Development, said decisions will be made on a case-by-case basis. Priority areas could include those identified in the ministry’s service plan, those identified by the Ministry of Health Services or those mentioned in a speech from the throne. The moratorium begins on Sept. 1, at which point the ministry will review post-secondary institution programs to assess whether they meet the “future educational needs of British Columbia,” said Cournoyer. The freeze raised questions on motives – a majority party doesn’t often require measures this extreme, or sudden – ranging from thoughts that something is wrong with the current system to thoughts that B.C. is becoming a degree mill. But Cournoyer sought to quiet those murmurs, explaining “It’s common practice for this government to assess the quality of new programs... It makes good sense for the sector and for the taxpayer to take a strategic pause and look at how it’s

all working.” Cournoyer said almost 300 new degree programs have been approved since 2001. The announcement confirmed rumours circulating among Kwantlen Polytechnic University faculty about pending action after a July in-house letter from the university’s president David Atkinson said, “The B.C. Government quite rightly looks to deliver the best possible educational programming even while recognizing current limitations on resources and what we anticipate to be future demographic challenges. We must therefore be prepared and positioned for any potential changes in the future.” Atkinson later added, with regard to degree proposals currently under development, “I cannot emphasize enough that these degrees should be ready for September.”

VINCE COURNOYER/ “It makes good sense for the sector and for the taxpayer to take a strategic pause and look at how it’s all working.”

The moratorium won’t stop KPU’s underdevelopment degree programs from progressing, said Joanne Saunders, director of marketing and communications, as the staff is working to meet the deadline. “We totally support the ministry’s decision.” Saunders expects the ministry to put forward a plan outlining degree programs it believes are necessary for the growing Fraser Valley region at the end of the degree proposal suspension. The review will likely end with the imposition of stricter regulations on degree programs offered at KPU. The institution, which was granted university status in 2008, was defined by that motion as a “special purpose, teaching university” along with four other B.C. post-secondary schools. Part 13 of the University Act allows the Lieutenant Governor in Council to specify the programs that the university must provide.

❚COURT/Old Delta police car causes confusion

Driver wasn’t impersonating a cop, even though his car was, judge rules SURREY – Simply Tom ZYTARUK driving around in a Staff Reporter police car look-alike is not enough to support a conviction for trying to pass one’s self off as a cop, a provincial court judge has ruled. Vancouver Judge Maria Giardini presided over the case of Vancouver resident Quoc Chuong Adam Tran, who had bought an old Delta police car in August 2007, from Draken Enterprizes. Delta police, who had used it as a patrol car, had previously owned the brown Chevy Impala. On two occasions, Tran’s car was spotted by cops who thought the Impala was an unmarked police car. He was eventually charged under Section 130 of the Criminal Code with using the car “in a manner that is likely to cause persons to believe he is a peace officer,” but was subsequently acquitted. When Tran bought the Impala – a make used by the RCMP and other police

departments – it had a push bar in front, blacked-out wheel rims and two “hockey puck” caps on its roof. Tran later set up red and blue lights in the front and back windshields and tinted rear windows, the court heard, and mounted a lap tray with a laptop computer on it, similar to the way they’re mounted in police cars, and a web cam on the inside front. Tran told court he used the car in his courier job and told police he used it as a security device to record what happened while he was driving, for video evidence, as he had been a victim of a hit and run. He also rented the car out for use in movies as a police car, the court heard. Curious cops patrolling Dundas Street in Vancouver spotted the Impala, ran its licence plate number, learned it was registered to a private owner and followed it. Tran was pulled over for allegedly changing lanes without signaling, an accusation he disputed.

A police officer testified that he asked Tran why he had red and blue strobe lights and Tran replied that they were to keep thieves from breaking into his car. Tran denied this claim. The cop said he told Tran to remove the lights because he wasn’t on a movie set, and put them into Tran’s trunk. Tran also disputed this account. The next day, the officer did a follow up but the address Tran gave him turned out to be a hair salon. He checked out a different address for Tran, he testified, and found the car outside an apartment building on Boundary Road, with the lights reinstalled. One month later, police pulled over the Impala near Georgia and Howe and arrested Tran for impersonating a police officer. Tran testified he wasn’t trying to represent the car as a police car, that he never wore a uniform or badge or presented himself as a cop and that he didn’t want people to think the Impala was a cop

car – he just needed it to go to work and make money. Though Giardini didn’t believe that Tran didn’t want people to believe the Impala was a police car, she found that the Crown hadn’t proved its case. Driving down the street in a car that looks like a cop car doesn’t mean the driver is using it to make people think he is a cop, she reasoned. Giardini found no evidence that Tran was driving the car or using it in a way that would lead the police to believe he was a cop. The case “appears to be a case of first impression,” she remarked. “If simply driving a car that looks like an unmarked police car is an offence can police forces ever dispose of their old vehicles? The totality of features observed by the police on the Impala raise suspicions about Mr. Tran’s use of a car that looks like an unmarked police car. However, suspicions are not a sufficient basis on which to base a conviction.”

❚ NEWS ❚WHITE ROCK

Boil-water advisory still on for thousands

Raven’s lucky hat

WHITE ROCK – Tom White Rock’s boil-water ZYTARUK Staff Reporter advisory will continue indefinitely until the Fraser Health Authority says the city’s water is OK to drink. Water testing on Monday afternoon revealed three positive samples for E.coli bacteria on a third reading, following two negative results. The FHA requires three negative readings in a row before it will lift the advisory. The advisory applies to all White Rock residents – almost 20,000 – the Semiahmoo Reserve and some 80 other South Surrey residents also on the EPCOR water system.

Surrey’s Raven Stierle, 14, poses with her Hotot Doe rabbit Charisma perched happily on her head at the PNE in Vancouver on Saturday.

Residents are advised to bring their water to a rapid rolling boil for at least one minute before drinking it, preparing baby formula or making juice, cooking, brushing teeth, washing raw food or making ice. EPCOR bought the privately owned and operated White Rock Utilities in 2005. The water is drawn from the Sunnyside Uplands aquifer and is provided through six wells ranging from 200 to 500 feet deep. The boil-water advisory was issued at 10:30 p.m. Friday after a low level of coliform bacteria was found in a sample during routine monthly testing. Joan Marshall, a spokeswoman for

the Fraser Health Authority, said it was a “very low level of coliform. I really have to emphasize this.” Dave Rector, director of water services for EPCOR, said Monday’s test data suggests the source of the contamination was at the low reservoir at Merklin Street off North Bluff Road. “All the evidence points there,” Rector said late Monday afternoon. It would take about three or four hours to drain the reservoir before it could be super-chlorinated, he added. At press time it wasn’t known what caused the E.coli contamination. “We won’t know until we get inside,” Rector said.

❚ NEWS ❚DELTA/Eight vie for seat; voters make their pick on Sept. 18

Here are your candidates for Delta city council byelection The following is a list of candidates who will run in the Sept. 18 Delta council byelection. Sylvia Bishop First out of the gate to declare her candidacy, Bishop lists the preservation of the Southlands as her number-one issue, but not the only one. “There is no doubt, the single most important issue in South Delta is the proposed development of the Southlands. The loss of farmland, traffic congestion and impact on Delta’s infrastructure are top concerns.” A former Delta South NDP constituency association president, Bishop had run for political office years ago, including federally and provincially for the New Democrats and as a council candidate for Cit-A-Del.

BISHOP

DeVRIES

GHUMAN SARA

for the first time in 2008. While she didn’t win a council seat, she had a strong showing by appearing in the top six in a few areas of North Delta. Her past community involvement includes fundraising for Delta Hospital and serving on the board of directors of the Burns Bog Conservation Society.

Maria DeVries A former Delta Chamber of Commerce president, DeVries has previously run for council. She cites a need for increased fiscal responsibility and concern over balancing community interests as her reasons for running. One of her goals is to “build positive, solution-oriented relationships.” DeVries made news in last year’s provincial election when she agreed to step aside as the Liberal candidate for Delta South to allow Wally Oppal to take the nomination.

Peter Harms This is the first time Harms, a Tsawwassen resident and businessman, has run for political office. Saying he’d be a strong voice to represent Deltans on local issues, Harms has been a Delta resident since 2004. He said he has always been interested in running for office but didn’t become a Canadian citizen until recently. Harms was born and raised in South Africa and lived for a time in Germany before moving to B.C. in the early 1980s. Married with two daughters, Harms said, “I am familiar with the issues here, so I feel now is the time.”

Amy Ghuman Sara Ghuman Sara ran for municipal office

HIGGINS

PANDHER

Kathleen Higgins Higgins also ran for a council seat in 2008. A resident of North Delta for 35 years, she helps manage her family’s country music band. Higgins said she believes it’s essential Delta develops strategies to make home ownership possible for young families. She made a submission to the housing task force as well as circulating her ideas to seniors groups, provincial and federal politicians, and the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. Sandeep Pandher Pandher ran for the Conservatives in the riding of Newton-North Delta in the 2008 federal election. “I am hoping to bring my experience, energy and ideas to the Delta council,” said the environmental consultant. “I am consulting with our three communities to hear what they need. I want to be their new voice at council and be an effective advocate for the community.”

A Surrey man’s Tom ZYTARUK truck smashed Staff Reporter into an apartment block in Langley after the driver allegedly tried to dodge an RCMP Counterattack roadblock early Saturday morning. The crash happened in the 5600block of 201A Street, at about 2 a.m. Police say the 22-year-old Surrey driver sped up after the officers, who were dressed in fluorescent yellow jackets and carrying flashlights with orange cones, signaled for it to stop. The white Ford truck then crossed over the centre line and headed straight toward one of the police officers, who jumped out of the way.

One of the officers hopped into a patrol car and followed the truck, which blew through a red light at 201A and 56th Avenue. “The officer had activated his emergency equipment and then observed the truck drive through a fence and crash into an apartment block,” said Cpl. Holly Marks, of the Langley RCMP. This was near 201A Street and Michaud Crescent. “The truck also struck a lamp post exposing some live electrical wires that required the attendance of Cobra Electric,” Marks said. The truck’s driver was arrested and taken to hospital to be treated for

injuries. “Police seized blood samples for analysis to determine his level of impairment,” Marks said. She added that police have recommended to Crown counsel that he be charged with assault with a weapon, dangerous driving and impaired driving. His name had not been released by press time. Two passengers in the truck sustained minor injuries in the crash, Marks said. The truck was substantially damaged. Two tow trucks pulled it out of a garden near the apartment building and it was seized for mechanical inspection. tzytaruk@thenownewspaper.com

Thousands celebrate India Day in Surrey There was Amy free food, REID Now Contributor fun rides and plenty of flagwaving on Sunday. The festivities celebrated India’s Independence Day, dating back to Aug. 15, 1947. “This day holds special significance for all of the people of Indian origin around the world,” said Aditya Mohan, one of the event’s organizers. Surrey celebrated at Lakshmi Narayan Temple, located at 8321 140th St. Mohan estimated nearly 20,000 people came by throughout the day. A parade kicked things off at 1 p.m. Various provinces of India showcased their banners and pictures of their region. The RCMP walked with the parade and the flag of India was hoisted into the air and planes flew overhead with banners of multiculturalism. Various members of government came out to show their support and take

part in the event. Religious societies were out in full attendance as well, said Mohan. “People had a good day,” he said. Organizers had planned to wrap up around 4 p.m., but the program continued until almost 6:30 p.m. Mohan said the celebration is important to the local Indo-Canadian community because the majority have roots in India. “When we were growing up we all used to go with our parents to India’s Independence Day,” he said. “India is still a very young country, only 63 years old. Because of that, we still have the memories of the heroes of yesteryears who sacrificed their lives to get freedom for India.” He added it’s important that they share this day with everyone in the community. “We want to mingle with Canadians, we want to have very good, neighbourly relationships with

Mohan said India and Canada share the same common goals. “Peace, harmony and multiculturalism. Canada

is kind of a second mother for us.” He thanks everyone who supported the event and, of course, all of the

neighbourhood people who came out. “We want to thank everyone. It was an immense success.”

❚POLITICS

If you want to get a measure of the daunting odds of a successful recall campaign against a sitting B.C. Keith Liberal MLA, BALDREY check out the riding-by-riding breakdown of the anti-HST petition. For recall to be successful, at least 40 per cent of the registered voters in that particular riding have to sign the recall petition. Although the anti-HST petition easily accumulated more than 10 per cent of the voters in every riding, only one riding currently held by a B.C. Liberal MLA even came close to meeting the higher recall number. That would be CaribooChilcotin, where some 6,524 voters signed the petition. That is 1,748 names short of what would be required to successfully recall the sitting MLA, Donna Barnett. Two other ridings also scored high, relative to what’s required for a recall, but both of those ridings – Kootenay-West and FraserNicola – are held by NDP MLAs. The riding that collected the most signatures was Saanich North-The Islands, where more than 11,500 voters signed the petition. But as impressive as that lofty total is, it is still almost 6,000 signatures short of the number required for a successful recall. Adding to the challenge of mounting a recall campaign can be seen in the huge number of invalid signatures the anti-HST petition collected. Petition organizers claimed that more than 700,000 people signed the petition, but Elections B.C. said in the end the number of valid signatures was just over 557,000. So almost one-in-four signatures were invalid, and it’s likely the same inaccuracy rate would occur in a recall sign-up. That

Recall campaign has huge hill to scale

means any recall campaign needs to aim at collecting more than 50 per cent of the registered voters – not 40 per cent. Presumably, a major factor in such a high error rate is the out-ofdate voters’ list. Every day, people move in and out of every riding and the list gets more inaccurate as time goes by. By the time any recall campaign even begins (the earliest kick-off is Nov. 15) most ridings’ population would have seen a turnover, since the list was last updated, of as much as 20 per cent. That’s going to make a tough sign-up job even tougher. It’s true that in many ridings, anti-HST petition organizers stopped collecting signatures when they thought they had hit the 15 per cent mark. But there’s no evidence if they kept the petition sheets out there they would have hit the much higher recall level. As well, the period to gather signatures on a recall petition is just 60 days, which is onethird shorter than the time frame allowed the anti-HST petition. Add it all up, and it makes for a very high mountain for recall proponents to scale. Nevertheless, having underesti-

mated the popularity of the antiHST petition, I’m reluctant to state unequivocally that any attempt at recall is doomed to failure. There clearly is widespread anger and frustration among a lot of voters right now, and much of it is, not surprisingly, directed at the B.C. Liberal government. The two anti-HST campaigners, Bill Vander Zalm and Chris Delaney, have sent out mixed messages about when they would begin recall campaigns and how many MLAs will be targeted. Sometimes, they have said they’ll start in November, and at other times they’ve said they’d wait until spring. They’re still hoping the B.C. Liberal government will scrap the HST, but I wouldn’t bet on it. The all-party legislative committee now dealing with the anti-HST petition may very well submit the law to repeal the tax to the legislature, but hardly anyone expects it to be passed into law. So expect some recall campaigns to begin in earnest at some point. And some of them may defy the odds and actually succeed. Aside from Donna Barnett, the Liberal MLAs seemingly most vulnerable to a recall cam-

paign appear to be John Slater in Boundary-Similkameen (where another 2,784 people would have to sign a recall petition) and Bill Bennett in Kootenay East (3,961 names short). Keep in mind that for all the publicity and attention paid to the anti-HST petition, and for all the apparent depth of the government’s unpopularity, more than three-quarters of the electorate never even bothered to sign it. Getting a huge chunk of them to sign a different kind of petition may prove to be a hard sell. But you never know these days – particularly when the born-again, indefatigable Vander Zalm is running the show!

Give horse racing a fair shake – it’s far from dead

❚PHOTO/Sharon Doucette

Horse racing is a survivor, says one ‘Now’ reader – it just needs to be given a fair chance.

‘Now’ coverage of Christian rock show was inspiring The Editor, Re: “Christian concert coverage got a little sidetracked,” the Now letters, Aug. 17. It seems to me that some Christians are sidetracked today. Their love and focus is firstly on the Christian musicians, the adrenaline rush from excessively loud music, the entertainment. Price tagged events in the name of outreach? Good music is a gift from God, but not all music is inspired by God. Where was heavy metal or gangster rap created, from what origins? A dark sound mixed with what’s sacred – is it not hypocritical? Even some unbelievers are confused by this and some fellow Christians disappointed with it all. Christ is about change, from darkness to light, not joining opposite kingdoms as one. The word of a Holy God is the only tool that brings saving faith and it’s supposed to be freely given and to freely receive. I reread the article published in the Now on Aug. 10, under the headline, “Rockin’ in God’s name in Cloverdale.” I don’t know what the letter writer is complaining about when he wrote, “this was not an abstinence rally, it was a rock concert.” He was complaining how the

bands should have been the main focus and were not given enough coverage. The Now reported on the event and interviewed a few patrons at this concert, showing the diversity of where some young people are at in their belief. Rachel Van Vliet, 14, may not be a lead singer at this concert, play drums or belong to a famous band, but she had a testimony to share of her devotion to live for the glory of God. That is inspiring to hear these days.

Time for us to tell Harper he can’t get away with it The Editor, How much will it cost Canada to rebuild when the Liberals come in soon to clean up the debt (again) and destruction the con Harper has imposed on us? The local invisible silent MP puppet supports scrapping the full-length national census to be replaced with a voluntary survey that will cost us $30 million more and provide lower-quality information; rethinking affirmative action – it looks like Harper wants women to get out of the labour force and back into kitchen, mak-

ing babies and evangelical family values; buying unneeded war toys for military boys without tender for a $9-billion contract for 65 new fighter jets, plus a $7-billion to $8-billion maintenance contract to follow; and a new expensive $9-billion prison-building program cracking down on unreported crime since the police reported crime dropped by three per cent last year and it now stands at a 25year low. People need to join in the dialogue and start organizing the community now and get significant voters engaged this time. Write your MP and the Opposition a postcard, a note with a media clip and speak out – be counted now.

The Editor, “The gamble didn’t pay off,” the Now, Aug. 20. First let me thank Ted Colley for his excellent articles. They were well written and well researched. Horse racing at Fraser Downs, as many racetracks, is not what it once was. Our patrons are getting older and their disposable income is getting smaller every year. Horse racing is a sport that hasn’t kept up with the times and we are paying for it. However, there are a lot of us in the industry who believe horse racing is far from done. This isn’t the first time that people said horse racing is dead. Horse racing is a survivor and it will pick itself up and carry on. It will never be what it was in the ’50s and ’60s but we can still give solid family entertainment a chance. And a fair chance is all we are asking from everyone; a starting time so our patrons can come eat dinner and stay for the races. Last year we tried racing at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday nights – what chance did we have against the Canucks? Give us back Saturday afternoons so people can come at a reasonable time. Secondly, give us a marketing budget that horse racing deserves. When was the last time you saw an ad on TV for Fraser Downs? How many people in the Surrey area know when live racing is taking place at Fraser Downs? Hastings Park runs ads on CKNW and Global. Fraser Downs gets AM730, the lowest-rated radio station in the Vancouver area. We have a great casino and grandstand for racing, let’s use it. When there is live racing, the casino is full. Fraser Downs cannot say that when there is live racing the casino doesn’t do better, they go hand in hand. We don’t need handouts from the government, all we want is to be given a fair chance for horse racing to get going again. Standardbred racing needs opportunities for horses to race and make money for the people who own them. Cutting days makes no sense. Horse racing is far from dead at Fraser Downs. Give us a fair chance to show it isn’t.

Radio telethon raises $170,000 for flood victims in Pakistan They opened their Amy phone lines and the REID Now Contributor community opened their wallets. Last Thursday, local ethnic radio station 93.1 Red FM held a radio telethon to raise money for victims of the floods in Pakistan. It raised about $170,000. It is estimated that the tragedy has claimed the lives of

more than 1,200 people and has displaced more than 15 million Pakistanis. The radiothon benefited the Pakistani flood victims through the Canadian Red Cross. The Pakistani Youth Council provided volunteers for the telethon. Bijoy Samuel, general manager of the station, said it was a huge success.

“If you look across Canada, the biggest charity has raised about $200,000 in about 10 days. We raised about $170,000 in one day.” The lines opened at 6 a.m. and volunteers continued collecting donations until 8:20 p.m. “Originally it was only until 7 p.m., but we realized at 7 p.m. that our phones were still ringing.

We weren’t going to stop.” Samuel said that people are still coming in with donations. The idea came from the listeners, he said. “We’re a community station. We are for the community by the community.” Samuel said that the word community encompasses all people who live together.

“We have a lot of people here who are from Pakistan. Apart from that, there’s the humanitarian side of it. It’s our duty to respond when we need to.” If you’d like to donate, call the radio station at 604-598-9311 or visit www.pakcan.com and donate online to the flood relief efforts through the PakistanCanada Association.

I’m a small town B.C. guy – born and raised in Parksville on Vancouver Island. I began playing football while attending high school at Ballenas Secondary and because of my size I was a natural fit on the offensive line. In fact, I did so well that I was named my team’s Most Valuable Player in my senior season. Following my high school graduation, I had an opportunity to head south to continue my education and play football for the University of South Carolina in the NCAA’s Southeastern Conference, which features some of the most competitive college football in the United States. After playing four years on the Gamecocks’ offensive line, I had a newfound appreciation for my adopted home but was nonetheless excited to return to British Columbia to don the black and orange as the Lions’ first-round selection in the 2008 CFL draft. I’d seen firsthand what playing in front of some of the most passionate football fans is all about and I knew I’d see similar support from Lions fans back home in B.C. Now in my second season on the Leos’ offensive line, I feel privileged to come to work every day and play the game I love. Nothing would make me happier than to bring the Grey Cup home to British Columbia and share that experience with my family and friends. Through thick and thin, the guys on the offensive line have become family to me and I’m proud of the contributions we make on and off the field. As a kid who dreamed of playing professional football from a young age, I remember looking up to athletes for inspiration. For that reason, I enjoy taking part in the Lions’ community programs throughout the year, particularly the Terasen Gas Energy Champions initiative. It gives me a feeling of pride to give back to the local community and know that in some small way I could be having a positive influence on the younger generation.

❚COMEDY/ South Surrey venue for Galaffair

‘Eat, Drink, Laugh’ event aims to fill void for women No doubt Tom ZILLICH about it, women Staff reporter sure know how to multi-task. Guys? C’mon, not so much. Erica Sigurdson knows this truism, and has gone into the business of planning events accordingly. The first shindig under her new Galaffair venture will be held in South Surrey this Sunday evening (Aug. 29). The concept of the “Eat, Drink, Laugh” event at Sawbuck’s pub is to welcome gal pals with a wide assortment of things, including comedy, cocktails, locallydesigned jewelry and hairdressing expertise. The event name is, of course, a play on the popular book and new Julia Roberts movie about one woman’s journey around the world, post-divorce. Both women and men are welcome to attend to the event at Sawbuck’s, but it’s clearly aimed at gatherings of girlfriends. “Once you’re over 30 and want to go out with the girls, it’s not just a comedy night or doing drinks or something else, it’s all those things, a multi-tasking thing.” The event is billed as one part urban market, one part cocktail party and one part comedy — which Sigurdson knows well, as a comedian on the scene since 1999. Raised in Surrey, Sigurdson has made audiences laugh around

Metro Vancouver and on tour across Canada — although those days are numbered. “I’m trying to take myself out of any more long stretches of touring,” the standup comic told the Now. “Three-week tours are just depressing. They make me very sad.” Sigurdson, who was schooled at Queen Elizabeth Secondary and now lives on English Bay in Vancouver, will be joined at the “Eat, Drink, Laugh” event by fellow comedian and good friend Jen Grant, who lives and works in New York City. “I came up with the idea of doing these shows,” Sigurdson said, “and one thing led to another. I was looking for the first venue to do JEN GRANT this thing, and my friend Ryan Lachance, a comedian who lives in White Rock, put me in touch with the people at Sawbuck’s.… I saw an opportunity, and now it’s about spreading the word.” In satirical style, Sigurdson’ website tells the story of her life in comedy. “A Leo Award-winning comedy writer for the 21st annual Gemini Awards,” the bio reads, “I have also written for many tele-

On stage, Sigurdson isn’t shy about telling jokes involving her Type One diabetes, which she’s had since age 10. “I was the only kid in Grade 5 with track marks,” she has said. “That’s a joke I tell on stage.” She gives herself insulin injections twice a day, because Type One diabetes — much less common than Type Two — means her body produces zero insulin. As a kid, she believed it was better to inject herself with the medicine rather than have her parents come at her with a needle. “Before I go on stage now, I have to make sure I eat first and make sure my sugar levels are up, or I’d start babbling and pass out,”

she told the Now a few years ago. “I’m pretty careful that I get something in my stomach before I go up, and take a pop on stage.” In 2009, Sigurdson co-starred on a local comedy news show called CityNews List, which has been cancelled. In the aftermath of that televised debacle, she set out to make work for herself, and Galaffair was born. “I think it really fills a void for ladies’ nights out,” said Sigurdson, who has an event booking in Fort McMurray and another potential one in Abbotsford. Tickets are $10 for the Aug. 29 event at Sawbuck’s, with cocktails and appies starting at 6 p.m., followed at 8 p.m. by an hour of comedy. “The happy goal is 150 people in the place,” Sigurdson said. “It’s been a pretty good response so far, so I’m pretty confident it will do well. People seem to love the idea, so it’s about making them commit to coming.” For details, visit www.galaffair. com or call to reserve, 604-5366420. tzillich@thenownewspaper.com

In tune with pianos around the globe Amy REID

Now contributor

He was only 16 when he got his first job in the piano technician industry. And he hasn’t stopped since. Today, with 25 years experience under his belt, North Delta resident Jack Houweling is still learning. It all started in the family. His father was a piano tuner, an organist and a pianist. He worked with Music Man Pianos for more than 20 years. Houweling grew up working with wood in the garage and helping his dad with pianos. “I was always a shop person, my whole life.” So when his dad got him a job at Berhnjak Pianos when he was 16, it felt natural, he said. The company was a well-known rebuilder for the symphonies, he explained. And as he got older, his

interest in piano work and fine regulating remained. He has trained with certified piano manufacturers, such as Bosendorfer, Steinway and Shigeru. “I tuned and tuned and tuned,” he said. “I got better at it and then came a point in my life where I was so passionate, I started attending conferences and seminars to keep getting better and better.” He attends two to three conventions or seminars a year, mostly in the U.S. and most recently in Las Vegas. Usually, these events yield about 600 technicians who come from all over the world. A typical conference can cover everything, he explained. “It’s tuning, it’s building, repairing, new technologies, piano advancements.” But he took his education a step beyond just attending the conferences.

“I have this saying, ‘If you stand on the shoulders of giants, you can see further.’” So he did just that. He found the best technicians in the world and soaked up their knowledge. “I was able to work with a few of them and train from them.” He said his greatest mentor was Andre Oorebeek, a technician from Holland. Houweling introduced him to the Vancouver scene and Oorebeek now comes to conventions in North America regularly. “He’s one of the top technicians in the world,” Houweling said. Now, all these years later, Houweling’s list of expertise is a long one. He tunes, repairs and restores and, in his spare time, he even makes tools for the trade. Some of them have gone into piano journals

Expert piano tuner Jack Houweling has worked with orchestras, universities and even big-time rock bands, including U2. ❚PHOTO/Sharon Doucette

and sell worldwide. One of the tools that Houweling made, a voicing ring, was featured in a book written by Oorebeek. He now services throughout the Lower Mainland and even ventures out to Quest University, near Squamish. He services Kwantlen Polytechnic

University, Delta school district, Surrey Arts Centre and the Royal Conservatory of Music, among others. Houweling said that the more passionate he gets about the industry, the more he knows, and thus, the more referrals he gets. “I keep searching and learning and learning and

learning, so I get better. And my name gets around. Call Jack.” He has tuned for U2, Ike Turner, Smokey Robinson, Leon Fleisher and Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. And his work varies depending on the client. For personal use only, pianos typically need to be tuned once a year. For pianists taking exams, probably twice a year. When he tunes for big shows, such as Smokey Robinson, they often have him come back once a day, sometimes more, to tune things up to perfection. “The piano is made to be tuned to the tension of A440 and it’s best for the ear, most satisfying for the ear to listen to that tuned piano.” His motto? AAA – Always an apprentice. Houweling is online at www.jackspiano.com.

For best pasta, salt the water and avoid oil the starchiness of the cooked pasta and then, in turn, lead to the accompanying sauce not sticking to or absorbing into the noodles as much. When pasta is eaten, you want the starchiness of the pasta to hold onto the sauce as much as possible, so that the dish will be able to be enjoyed to the fullest.

same reason. A better way to help prevent your pasta noodles from sticking together during the cooking process is to stir the noodles constantly for the first two minutes of cooking time. By that point, the water will have returned to its full-boil action and the agitation of the bubbling water will keep the pasta moving and prevent it from sticking. Once the pasta has been drained, do not rinse

it. Rinsing will cool the pasta down and also wash away some of the starchiness that we want to help secure the sauce to the noodles.

Dear Chef Dez, What is the best way to tell when pasta is cooked? Norma L., Maple Ridge There are many ways that people use to determine that pasta is cooked to perfection, including

the old wives’ tale about throwing it against the wall to see if it sticks. The best way is to let your mouth do the talking. Carefully remove a strand or piece of pasta from the boiling water. After waiting a few seconds for it to cool down, take a bite. It should feel el dente, meaning “to the tooth” in Italian. This relates to the feeling that the pasta should not be overcooked and offer some resistance when bitten into. It should

not be hard, but should not be too soft and mushy either. The package of the pasta you purchase will always offer a guideline cooking time, but your bite will always give you the right answer.

A staple in almost every home’s pantry is spaghetti, or some form of pasta that makes its way to the dinner table on a regular basis. Chef Many of us take DEZ the time to focus on building the flavour and complexity of the accompanying sauce for our pasta of choice, however, the pasta itself needs attention as well. Many food columns could be dedicated to achieving palate-pleasing goals in pasta sauces, but let us not forget about the substance of these dishes: the pasta noodle. Allow me to unravel some myths about boiling water and cooking pasta, which would seem to be one of the easiest tasks in the kitchen. The first thing to examine is the dry pasta noodle and the transformation that takes place during the cooking process. The most obvious observation is that cooked pasta is larger in volume and flexible, compared to dry, raw pasta. What makes this possible is the absorption of water during the boiling process. The cooking process of any food, no matter how simple it seems, needs to be analyzed because this is our chance of infusing flavour into the ingredients being cooked. Everyone has heard of the process of salting water when boiling pasta, but few know or realize the reason why. Some believe it is to help the pasta from sticking or to help keep the water from boiling over. However, the reason is to season the pasta and increase the flavour. Pasta on its own is very bland, and combining bland, cooked pasta with a sauce that you have perfected will be a detriment to your finished dish. If the pasta water is salted liberally, then the pasta will be absorbing saltwater instead of just water, meaning your pasta dish will be seasoned from the inside out. Another no-no is to add oil to your pasta water. This idea probably first came about to prevent the pasta noodles from sticking together, but it will affect your finished dish negatively. Oiled pasta water will help to keep your pasta from sticking together when cooking, but a film of oil will always be left on the drained noodles. This thin film of oil will inhibit

‘‘It’s just marvellous here at Bethshan Gardens, it’s really beautiful, the staff are great and the meals are wonderful. My suite is just perfect for me - I can’t get over how much room I have, when my friends visit they are always amazed.’’ - Dora, resident

One of Canada’s most celebrated ultradistance runners is coming to Surrey and Delta next month. Ray Zahab will take part in the annual Jog for the Bog event Sept. 26 and, earlier that weekend, a gala dinner also hosted by Burns Bog Conservation Society. This year’s Jog for the Bog includes a special “Run With Ray” that will have participants run with the adventure athlete around the entire 40-kilometre circumference of Burns Bog. Zahab quit smoking in 1998 and later became an ultramarathon athlete who has participated in long-distance races around the world. In 2007, Zahab and two others made

history by running 7,500 kilometres across the entire Sahara Desert to raise awareness of clean-water initiatives in Africa. A year later, Zahab founded impossible2Possible (i2P), an organization that aims to inspire and educate youth through adventure learning. Zahab will speak at a Sept. 24 gala dinner hosted by the society at Eaglequest golf course in Surrey. The Jog for the Bog event supports the conservation society’s education programs, maintenance of Delta Nature Reserve boardwalks and outreach campaigns. To get involved, call 604-572-0373 or visit www.burnsbog.org.

Fast Lane

Only two weeks left before summer vacation is officially over. I have to admit, it went by pretty fast. Although the inevitable statement of “I’m bored” did come up with Kelley my kids, it wasn’t as bad SCARSBROOK as I had initially thought. From biking lessons to outdoor camping to soccer camp to swimming, the children were able to enjoy the outdoors more than ever. And it got me thinking about how this summer, more than any other summer, has been an active and healthy one for them. Each night, as they laid their heads down to rest, they fell into a deep, exhausted and contented sleep. Both the TV and Wii were not as much of an issue as I had expected, as they remained off during the days (for the most part). When we didn’t have any formal plans for the day, the children opted instead to spend their time at the beach, riding their bikes or simply playing in the backyard. As a result of keeping the children active and outside, it inspired both my husband and I to get back into our own exercise regime. And the best part of our newfound family outdoor activities was that we all started eating healthier and making better food choices. I realize it goes against everything that summer stands for, with ice cream treats and dinner habits that go usually go awry.

However, this year we discovered we ate less and instead craved healthier food. When we were in Whistler last week, we hiked up the mountain, swam for hours and biked around the village with the children. We ate fruits, vegetables and healthy sandwiches. We drank lots of water instead of the usual sugar-laden drinks. The kids even passed on ice cream — twice! I didn’t purposefully set out to create a healthier lifestyle for the family this summer, but somehow it just happened naturally, with so many outdoor activities. Experts say that kids need at least 60 minutes or more of physical activity per day, and I’m not entirely sure they were both getting that during the school year. However, with childhood obesity on the rise in Canada, I believe we, as parents, owe our children a lifestyle beyond a junkfood diet, sitting in front of the TV and playing video games. This summer helped me see how being more active and eating healthier can benefit not only our children, but the entire family. And it’s a family habit I plan on keeping around for the year ahead. And, according to my children, that makes this summer the “bestest” ever. Kelley Scarsbrook resides in Surrey and is a proud mother of two who writes biweekly for the Now.

others procrastinate. There are not-so-healthy habits: smoking, drinking too much, overeating, eating out every day, snacking on junk food, staying up late, spending too much time on the computer or watching meaningless TV shows. We have habits of relating: Getting into the same old patterns of conflict, offering more criticisms than complements, and taking our loved ones for granted. Think of all that you do in a day. How much is ritual and habit? How much is done without thought? When we want to remember our dreams, it can be helpful to ask ourselves throughout our waking moments, “Am I dreaming?” so that when we are actually dreaming, we may become consciously aware of it and remember those dreams. Throughout this day, ask yourself, “Am I awake?” so that you may catch yourself in the act of a ritual or habit, done without thought or meaning. You may find your rituals more meaningful, or you may choose to abandon those rituals that no longer hold meaning for you. You may reaffirm healthy habits or resolve to extinguish the unhealthy ones. When you catch yourself complaining or taking others for granted, you may reawaken to appreciation. Transform your day by transforming yourself from a creature of habit and empty ritual to a being of meaning and significance. Dr. Davidicus Wong is a family physician.

Let’s go Shopping in

In our home, we regularly challenge one another’s rituals, those habits of behaviour that represent a deeper meaning. With repetition, however, rituals can lose their meaning. We can go Davidicus through the motions and, WONG with our thoughts elsewhere in time and place, before we know it, the ritual is done and we are none the better for it. We also have habits or habitual behaviours that we perform daily or even multiple times throughout the day: the morning or evening shower, brushing our teeth and flossing at bedtime, a daily walk and dinner with the family. When actions become habits, we hardly have to think about them. I awaken each day at 5:15 a.m., arrive at the pool at 6 and swim 80 lengths, or 2,000 metres. I don’t have to think about it and I don’t have to plan the night before. As long as it continues to be a healthy ritual of mindful activity, I will continue this routine. From the end of May to the beginning of September, the beautiful 50-metre outdoor pool at Burnaby’s Central Park is open. My ritual then is a second swim at midday. An extra 1,000 metres invigorates the early afternoon and balances a day at the office, though I sometimes question this ritual when I’m nodding off at 5 p.m. Our bodies may question our rituals and habits. Some of us are habitually early; others habitually late. Some defer gratification;

❚JUNIOR FOOTBALL

Surrey defenders learn fast in Bronco roundup The offence Michael BOOTH put up the Sports Editor numbers but it was the defence who caught the head coach’s eye at South Surrey Athletic Park Saturday evening. With less than a week to learn a whole new scheme, the South Surrey Big Kahuna Rams’ defenders held the Kamloops Broncos to just 139 yards of offence as part of a 59-14 romp in B.C. Junior Football Conference play. “I was really impressed with the way the defence responded to a very difficult week for them,” said Rams head coach Chris Butschler. “Corey Goff resigned on Sunday to go coach at Manitoba and Tyler McLaren is now coaching the defence. He switched things up and they had three practises with a whole new system and our defence had a whole new look. “It wasn’t as high risk, high reward as it was before; it was a little more stable. The kids deserve a lot of credit for picking

it up so quickly.” Belah Small and Joe Lester each returned interceptions for touchdowns as part of a 28-point Surrey outburst in the second quarter that sealed the Broncos’ fate. Karl Delong also snagged an errant Bronco pass while Kyle Ouwehand, Clint Flaten and Kurt Pederson finished with one sack each. Flaten and Bob Brown also recovered one fumble apiece. The Rams flexed their offensive muscle early when Nick Downey found the end zone on a 39-yard catch and run on Surrey’s second play of the game. Griffin Bullock added a 37-yard TD reception later in the opening quarter and the Rams were off to the races. The second quarter brought more of the same as the defence scored two TDs on interceptions and Surrey quarterback Nate White found Matt Chapdelaine and Bullock on scoring strikes of 72 and 10 yards, respectively.

“We took whatever they gave us,” Butschler said. “We nickeled and dimed them a little bit but when they gave us something we took it. If it was over the top, we went over the top. Kamloops has improved but we have some guys who, when they catch the ball, they can score. They can get to the end zone in a hurry.”

CHRIS BUTSCHLER/ “Kamloops has improved but we have some guys who, when they catch the ball, they can score.” Leading 42-8 at the break, the Rams were content to dial it back a bit in the second half with more of an emphasis on running the ball. Surrey was still able to make things exciting, as Downey broke loose for a 57-yard punt return for a touchdown in the third quarter. White called his own number

on a nine-yard TDs run in the final frame and Bullock closed out the Surrey scoring with a 14-yard field goal. “We handed the ball off a lot more in the second half,” Butschler said. “We’re still a throwing team but we have so many running backs and we wanted to get everybody into the game. This was a good game to do that and we got a chance to see what some of the younger guys can do.” The Rams will face a much tougher test this Saturday when the defending champion Vancouver Island Raiders come calling. “I saw Nanaimo yesterday and they’re very good,” Butschler said. “Kelowna and the Raiders are both very tight, very strong teams. They’re well disciplined and they’re just good. “They are fine oiled machines and they don’t make a lot of mistakes.” Game time is 3 p.m. at SSAP.

Teen helps Canada topple Trinidad golf report

A Surrey teen helped Canada reclaim the Stephen Ames Cup at St. Andrews Golf Club in Moka Miraval, Trinidad last week. Jamie Oleksiew, a 16-year-old student at Southridge School, was part of the 10-member Canadian team competing in the annual challenge between young Canadian and Trinidadian golfers. “It was a great final day of matches to end a fantastic week of golf for both sides,” said tournament host

and PGA Tour professional Stephen Ames at the end of the event. “I am sure the experience the kids had this week, both golfing and culturally, will stay with them for a long time, and that is really the main goal of the event.” The event features junior teams from both countries in a Ryder Cupstyle format with Ames on-site to provide guidance and insight to the players. Oleksiew first saw action on

opening day during the four-ball portion of the tourney. She paired up with Soobin Kim of Coquitlam in a 3-and-2 loss to their Trinidadian counterparts in the under-18 girls age group. Day 2 was devoted to foursome matches and this time Kim and Oleksiew prevailed 4-and-3 over their hosts. Oleksiew was idle on the final round of match play where Canada clinched the title.

Arjun Atwal became the first Indian to win on the PGA Tour, the first Monday Qualifier to win a tour event in 24 years, and still he won’t play in the Fedex Cup that kicks off this week with the Barclays event with the top 125 players on points. Why? Arjun – like Martin Kaymer, Oosthuizen and Graham McDowell – are not PGA members. Three major winners and the winner of the last event before the Fedex Cup are ineligible. Seems to me there should be some tweaking here to allow them in if they have won a major and that last event, regardless of status. There are two Canadians playing in the Fedex but the third, Mike Weir, will not. He missed the cut and dropped to 128. Graham DeLaet got in – barely at 123 – and Stephen Ames was comfortably in the field.

This Year’s “Must Attend” Business Conference Thursday, October 14, 2010 Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel Surrey, British Columbia, Canada

So Fedex Cup this week, the women are in Winnipeg for the CN Women’s Open and 48 out of the top 50 from the LPGA Tour will be there – along with 13 Canadians. Chip Shots Lots of golf news on the local front and most of its good.

At the 2010 Surrey Regional Economic Summit, international business experts and local and national commentators will share their unique perspectives on changes to international economies, and how the rise of China and India impact Canada, British Columbia and the USA.

First of all good luck to those from British Columbia who are competing in the U.S. Amateur, which is taking place down the road at Chambers Bay at University Place in Washington.

The U.S amateur used to be called a “Major” until the pros took over and declared which are majors. Only two Canadians have won this prestigious event. Sandy Sommerville in 1932, and now 71 year old Gary Cowan who won it twice in 66 and 71. Here is our gang; Nick Taylor of Abbotsford, and Eugene Wong of North Vancouver, as well as Victoria’s Kevin Carrigan Cory Renfrew, and Darren Wallace of Langley.

“The annual Surrey Regional Economic Summit is a unique opportunity to engage business and community leaders as we detail signiﬁcant economic issues impacting our region and province. This year’s Summit puts particular emphasis on the rise of Asia and the changing role of the United States as we come out from under the international recession. As a province built on international trade, there’s no question that these dramatic economic changes will play a pivotal role in our future prosperity.” Dianne Watts, Mayor, City of Surrey Honourary Chair, Surrey Regional Economic Summit

The Canadian PGA Women’s Championship went to Laura Bavaird of Quebec but the good news is that Sue Kim of Langley who just turned pro finished third. Good start to her pro career. Richmond’s Christine Wong has been named to the threewoman team that will represent Canada at the World Amateur Team Golf Championships in Argentina this fall.

Three women from B.C. are playing in the CN Canadian Women’s Open on the LPGA Tour in Winnipeg this week along with 13 others from this country. Samantha Richdale from the interior and local golfers Sue Kim of Langley and Christine Wong of Richmond are in the field. There could be one more after a qualifying event. This is under the heading of “you’ve got to be kidding.” Jose de Jesus Rodriquez finished with a 61 on Saturday and took the lead in the Canadian Tour event in Seaforth Ontario. He forgot to sign his card before leaving the scorers area and was disqualified. Julie Inkster with a delay in play in the Safeway Tournament added a weight to her club to warm up while on the course, and she, too, left the tournament before it was over. In both cases, it would seem a brain cramp took over. Congrats to Craig Doell who finished second at the Canadian Mid Amateur. 082410

❚AUTOMOTIVE ❚CARGO VANS

Ford takes a leap forward in spacious travel What David Bob drives like a CHAO & MCHUGH Now Contributor car, works like a van and is engineered to be as tough as a truck? It’s the new Transit Connect — according to Ford. Something different, something useful. Small but tall, the Ford Transit Connect is a new style of commercial van (to Canada) that’s very popular in Europe and around the world. The focus on fuel efficiency and a keen desire for more global products has spurred Ford to finally bring this vehicle to North America. Ford has sold more than 600,000 Ford Transit Connects in 58 countries and on four continents since its introduction in 2003. It’s an extremely practical vehicle that’s mainly used as an urban short-haul delivery vehicle, or as a big tool box for service industry trades people, or a mobile office or a combination of these uses. Shorter in length, but taller, then a minivan, the Transit Connect comes as a two-seat cargo van (two trim levels) or a five-passenger wagon. Access to the cargo area is excellent, with tall rear side doors on sliders and its two back doors have stop

Ford’s new workhorse cargo van, the Transit Connect. straps that release (at the push of a button) and hinges that allow the doors to swing out 180 degrees. Power comes from a fuelefficient 2.0-litre Duratec fourcylinder engine that’s mated to a

four-speed automatic transmission. It’s a workhorse (or pony in this case) powertrain with a max horsepower rating of 136 at 6,300 rpm and it can produce 128 lb-ft of torque at 4,750 rpm. The base Cargo 110A is the

panel van version that comes without any windows in the side sliding cargo doors or the dual rear cargo doors. In addition to providing a good palette for business advertising on the outside, it hides the contents from

prying eyes and provides added security. My test Transit Connect was a Cargo 210A, which comes with rear cargo doors that have heated windows and wipers, plus heated side power mirrors. You pay an extra $500 for this back window package. The standard equipment level is surprisingly high for a commercial vehicle. It includes air conditioning, power windows and locks, plus a tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel. Options on the test Connect included roll stability control ($550), a reverse parking sensor system ($250) an engine block heater ($80). This brought its full price up to $28,279. A Wagon edition will also be joining the Transit Connect lineup. It adds second-row 60/40 flipand-fold split bench seat, sliding doors with privacy glass, rear vinyl floor, engine block heater, reverse parking aid, and electronic stability control. Transit Connect is imported from a Ford plant in Kocaeli, Turkey. A battery-powered electric version is apparently also in the works, and we may see it

Transit Connect will be a hit with service companies The Inside

continued from 35 some time next year.

The Looks

The Transit Connect has a cheeky utilitarian look that stands out in a crowd — a price it pays for being tall. Although some minor changes were made to the grille and interior, it essentially holds true to its Euro counterpart.

The front section of the test Transit Connect was carpeted and the flat rear floor had a durable rubberized covering. For the most part, however, it’s naked on the inside, like an unfinished basement. The cargo area has 4,049 litres (143 cubic feet) of space and Transit Connect can haul a 726-kg (1,600lb) payload.

The rear doors are a wrap-over design that allows maximum access with a floorto-roof measurement of 1,323 mm and the inside distance between the rear wheel arches is 1,215 mm (which unfortunately is slightly under four feet). The tall roofline also allows a handy large overhead storage shelf above the front seating positions.

Another nice feature of the Transit Connect is its low cargo lift-in height.

Safety

Front and side (seat mounted) air bags are provided for the driver and front passenger. Side curtain air bags are not offered. Anti-lock brakes and a tire-pressure monitoring system are standard. Stability control is an inexpen-

FIRST TIME EVER

sive ($550) option that’s well worth adding. Lock-in-Latch shielded door locks are designed to help make the Transit Connect extra resistant to break-ins. It even has a lockable hood release that’s hidden under the iconic Ford emblem on the front grille, a feature I’ve never come across in any other vehicle.

The absence of side windows, however, severely curtails crosstraffic vision when backing out of a driveway or a parking stall. The side mirrors could also be larger and a (blind spot/parking) convex mirror addition would be useful.

The Score

Small on the outside yet big on capacity, the agile Ford Transit Connect is un-chartered sales territory for Ford of Canada. My guess is it will be a huge hit with urban businesses and service providers.

Transit Connect delivers on its promise of a car-like driving experience. A quickacting rack-and-pinion steering system and an exceptionally tight 5.94m (19-ft) turning radius make it a highly manoeuvrable vehicle. The driver sits lower than a van but a little higher than a car, and the steering wheel comes with a tilt and telescopic feature that helps you find a good position. It’s a no-frills cabin, as you might expect, but the bucket seats are comfortable and a fold-down inside arm rest is provided. Not a bad space to spend some working hours. Out on the road, Transit Connect possesses agile handling characteristics, despite its tall stature. The small engine had surprisingly good pull on steep hills, even after I loaded a heavy chest freezer in the cargo area. An overdrive lock-out switch is provided on the shift lever and useful if a load causes gear-hunting on longer climbs.

Riding the trails on an all-terrain vehicle is a great way to spend a summer day. But plowing through some of Canada’s bumpiest and messiest ATV trails can take a toll on the machine. Regular tune-ups and fixes can add up so it’s crucial to take proper care of the four-wheeler. A proper clean after each use will expand your machine’s lifespan, so after each ride close off the exhaust and air box and clean the ATV. Check the oil regularly – the oil level should never be above the maximum or below the minimum mark on the dipstick. Fill up with oil when necessary. Always clean and lubricate the drive chain before each ride to save on repair costs down the line. To prevent engine damage, make sure the foam air filter is clean and lubricated. A wide variety of performance parts, ATVs and other recreational equipment is available at www.giomotors.com and can be purchased through an easy online auction. Another useful tip is learning how to read spark plug colours. This will tell whether the engine is working properly and help to catch problems before they cause serious damage to the engine. Check the tire pressure regularly to ensure the ATV is driving and breaking in a straight line. Finally, use proper rust-proofing methods to keep the machine in great shape, as rust significantly reduces the ATV’s structural strength. www.newscanada.com

Summer entertaining

Extend summer with simple, casual parties

It’s around this time of year when Canadians prepare to say goodbye to hot, humid days, relaxing cottage weekends and spontaneous backyard gatherings and hello to falling leaves, shortened days and busy routines involving work and school. But what’s the rush? With pleasant warm days and cooler evenings, late summer is actually the perfect time to socialize and maximize what’s left of the season. So, gather your friends and family and enjoy these endless summer days. Here are some simple entertaining secrets and responsible hosting tips for throwing fantastic end-of-summer get-togethers. ❚ Make it an alfresco affair. Take advantage of the fantastic weather and set up the party outdoors. ❚ Timing is everything. Set the start time for late afternoon so guests can enjoy the late day sun and the magic of dusk.

Peach Sangria

❚ Set the scene. This could be the last hoorah of the season so create a relaxed theme that screams summer. If space permits, set multiple seating areas around the yard. And, don’t forget the decorations. Whether they be ﬂoral bouquets picked fresh from your garden, tiki torches, hurricane lamps with pillar candles or even citronella candles, they will add to the ambiance as the day progresses. A nice touch: have blankets or shawls on hand as the evening grows cooler.

by combining fruit juices, such as cran-raspberry and lemonade, topped with soda water and garnished with fresh fruit or berries and served in a martini glass. More thirstquenching cocktail/mocktail recipes and other inspiring entertaining ideas can be found online at www.lcbo.com.

❚ Say cheers with entertaining-sized cocktails. Limit the drink selection to a signature cocktail or two, like The Great Canadian Caesar or Peach Sangria, as well as beer, wine and ready-to-drink selections. Prepare cocktails in advance and serve them in pitchers so guests can help themselves. A nice gesture is to leave recipe cards on the bar so guests can also try them at home. Lay out everything that they will need to help themselves, including garnishes, a bucket or cooler for beer, wine and ready-to-drink products, glassware and cocktail napkins.

❚ Set up a self-serve feast. To keep the meal simple and delicious, design a menu that allows you to do most of the work in advance or has your guests contributing with their personal touches. Set out a platter of burgers, sausages and kabobs, ﬁre up the grill, lay out all of the fixings and have your guests serve themselves. Supplement with side dishes, like prepared salads, corn on the cob and other dishes made with local, seasonal ingredients, like tomatoes, zucchini, etc. For spontaneous gatherings or unexpected dropins, order takeout.

❚ Offer a mocktail. For guests who choose not to drink, create a specialty non-alcoholic offering. Mocktails can be fabulous and fun

❚ Match made in heaven. In keeping with the local theme, set up a wine and cheese station that pairs Canadian artisanal cheeses with

2 ripe peaches peeled and sliced ½ cup Peach Schnapps ½ cup brandy 1 bottle of Chardonnay 4 tbsp lemon juice Ice

Late summer is the perfect time to entertain your friends and family with a simple, casual backyard get-together.

❚ Life is a bowl of cherries. Dessert needn’t be fancy. Set out some fresh fruit or prescoop some vanilla ice cream and top it at the last minute with fresh peaches. Guaranteed – your guests will enjoy this simple pleasure.

The Great Canadian Caesar 1 ½ cups vodka 5 cups Clamato juice 2 tbsp Tabasco sauce 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce ground pepper to taste lime wedges and celery stalks Ice

❚ Be a responsible host. It is your responsibility to make sure your guests arrive home safely. Have on hand water and coffee/tea for designated drivers and stop serving alcohol at least one hour before the party ends. Encourage your guests to leave their cars at home and take public transportation, taxis, or walk. And, be prepared for overnight guests.

Fill a pitcher with ice. Add Polar Ice vodka, Clamato juice, Tabasco sauce, Worcestershire sauce and ground pepper to pitcher. Stir. Rim 8 glasses first with a lemon slice and then with celery salt. Fill glasses with Caesar cocktail and garnish with lime wedges and celery stalks.

❚ Let the music play. Create playlists that will suit the vibe of the evening and make copies for your guests to take home as a memento. – News Canada

Burgers. Hot dogs. Sausages. Boring. How many barbecues have you been to in the past few years where the menus actually excited you? Take the time to surprise your guests with your backyard cuisine this summer by introducing them to a new way to cool off. Chef Michael P. Clive has created an adult version of the ice cream float with Rickard’s Dark, a well-balanced porter with a hint of maple syrup. Sur pr ising ly, robust beers like porters or stouts pair well with vanilla ice cream. The vanilla flavour and sweetness balance out the bitterness of the hops to create a rich flavour that’s a little unexpected. This is a treat that’s memorable, takes seconds and doesn’t force you to slave over a hot grill. – News Canada

Coastal B.C.’s newest resort hotel is pretty green — in more ways than one. Parkside Victoria Resort & Spa is going through some growing pains since it officially opened with much fanfare in June, after a ﬁve-year construction process. Signage for building amenities isn’t great, the restaurant isn’t open yet and air-conditioning units are non-existent — bad timing for us during a visit on a sauna-hot weekend recently. But that’s it for bad news. The good news is Parkside is a welcome addition to the heart of the Victoria action, two blocks from the inner harbour and provincial legislature and one block from Victoria Conference Centre. The 126-unit, $60-million building, at 810 Humboldt St., is billed as an ultra-green hotel because it was built to the Platinum standard, the highest rating under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program. Aviawest’s development offers fractional ownership as a condo-hotel. Construction

started in 2005 and weathered the ups and downs of the real estate market. The hotel features an impressive 10-metrehigh atrium ﬁlled with exotic plants from the now-closed Crystal Garden on Douglas Street. The hotel location is at the conﬂuence of old and new, kitty-corner to long-established Church of Our Lord and across Humboldt Street from St. Ann’s Academy, the original section of which dates back to 1871. Beyond that is beautiful Beacon Hill Park. Historically, this section of Victoria was known in some circles as a place for salvation (the church), education (St. Ann’s) and damnation (the bar that once stood on land now occupied by Parkside). Today, the resort’s amenities are mostly of the ultra-modern, high-tech kind, including 29-seat high-def movie theatre, 25-metre ozonated indoor pool and hot tub, and plug-in stations in the underground garage for electric vehicles. A spa is also in operation, as is an owners-only penthouse City Club Lounge. The Parkside development is a dream realized for the Pearson family, which for two see next page

Subject- Industrial Compost Plant- Pilot Grove Farms As you may already know, a real estate developer is proposing an industrial compost plant at 176th St (Hwy 15) and 12th Ave. There are currently 2 lots for sale at this site, one 12 acres and the other 13 acres. The developer is also proposing to lease the adjoining 266 acre farm, which surrounds Halls Prairie Elementary School. All 3 properties are currently in the Agricultural Land Reserve. The purpose of this lease is to distribute some of the compost material on the farm and sell the remaining material to conform to Agricultural Land Commission guidelines. Currently, Pilot Grove Farms does not operate a farm or compost plant of this nature. This 266 acre parcel, bordered by 12th Ave, 184th St, 8th Ave and 176th St. has a least 3 known Class A (red coded) salmon bearing creeks: Sam Hill Creek, Campbell River Creek and Twin Creeks. The developer has applied to the City of Surrey to rezone the 25 acres from A-1 (general agriculture zone) to CD (comprehensive development zone). For a number of unknown reasons, the City of Surrey is supporting this application. The City commissioned a “ peer review “ which stated at the July 26th council meeting; “council refer this application back to staff to work with the applicant to ﬁnd an alternative site for this proposed commercial composting facility, preferably in an industrial area”. The City of Surrey has referred the application back to the ALC to make a decision on this application. A decision will be made soon.

With Parkside, the units are somewhere around 75 per cent sold and occupied on a frequent basis. Check it out online at www. parksidevictoria.com.

The kids also appreciated Craigdarroch Castle Historic House Museum, a landmark place with amazing stories of the Dunsmuir family that had it built (www.thecastle.ca). The “show” at Paciﬁc Undersea Gardens doesn’t offer much to see, other than a squirming octopus and some even uglier sea creatures, so skip that trip. For the month of August, BC Ferries has added plenty of extra sailings on the Tsawwassen-Swartz Bay run, meaning it’s a good time to get to Vancouver Island. Do yourself a favour, though, and reserve a spot by calling 1-888-BCFERRY or clicking on www. bcferrries.com. For travel planning in B.C.’s capital city, visit www.tourismvictoria.com.
