SURREY – Twenty-five homicide detectives are working around the clock to catch whoever shot Simon Fraser University student Maple Batalia dead Wednesday morning on a third-storey parkade behind the Whalley campus.

Batalia, 19, studied health Maple Batalia sciences at SFU and was also an aspiring actress and model.

Police found her dying of multiple gunshot wounds after receiving calls of shots fired shortly after 1 a.m.

They tried to save her but she died in hospital.

Sgt. Peter Thiessen, spokesman for the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, said at Now press time on Wednesday he couldn’t confirm if investigators believe the shooting was targeted or random.

SURREY – Despite increasing pressure from critics who are outraged that George W. Bush is scheduled to speak in Surrey, Mayor Dianne Watts said she will not cancel Bush’s appearance.

The former U.S. president is scheduled to speak at the Surrey Regional Economic Summit on Oct. 20 at the Sheraton Vancouver Guildford Hotel.

The outrage leading up to the summit is not surprising to some – around the country, a similar tune is ringing.

Hundreds of people showed up to the Vancouver Club Monday to protest former U.S. vice president Dick Cheney’s appearance, yelling at police as well as insulting and shoving guests at the event.

And a Sept. 20 Bush appearance was cancelled in Toronto at Tyndale University College & Seminary after students launched a petition saying, “Tyndale is hosting a war criminal.”

Gail Davidson, a Vancouver-based lawyer with Lawyers Against the War, is asking Watts and organizers of the economic summit to cancel Bush’s appearance. see WATTS SHOULD › page 4

School district boss Mike McKay is never too... shall we say... big to mind the little ones Marisa Babic

t 8:05 on the dot, Surrey school superintendent Mike McKay steps out of his white SUV in the parking lot at Jessie Lee Elementary.

As he slips on his yellow neon vest in preparation for supervision duty, the six-footeleven former basketball star quips that the kids would probably notice him even without it.

“If there’s something up, they’re sort of attuned to looking for someone in a vest,” he says.

McKay, superintendent of the largest school district in the province, drops by the school every morning to supervise students until the bell rings to start class, unless he has a very important meeting with his senior staff or Ministry of Education officials.

He’s been making the rounds since the first day of school on Sept. 6 when B.C. teachers launched job action.

The B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, which represents school districts, are in the midst of contract negotiations and their talks have gotten nowhere.

As part of its tactic to apply pressure on the employer, the union launched its job action strategy, starting with refusal of non-teaching duties such as supervision and paperwork. As a result, managers and non-union staff have been drafted for supervision duty and that includes everyone – even the top boss.

McKay usually tag-teams with principal Ruth Mrak on the daily grounds check at Jessie Lee. “She’ll do the front and I’ll do the back or she’ll do the back and I’ll do the front, so it’s a walk around first thing just to see that everything’s OK,” he explains.

Mrak is sick this day and McKay works solo. As he leads a reporter on the walkabout, crunching gravel underfoot, it’s obvious that he enjoys his supervision duty and takes a genuine interest in the students he meets.

Sometimes, duty calls for a bit of first-aid and comfort.

“I just helped a little guy yesterday who ran into a wall and banged his knee. We went to the office together and he was feeling better by the time we got there,” he says.

He has a soft spot for the shy kids, the new

John Meech running for Delta mayor DELTA – Tsawwassen resident John Meech has thrown his hat in the ring in the mayor’s race in the upcoming civic election.

Meech is on a slate with the new electoral organization Renew Delta.

A former member of the Southlands Community Planning Team, Meech is a professor at UBC. “We need leaders who are accessible to the people, who are listening to the people, and who act and make decisions that benefit all citizens, not just a small minority,” he said. “In Delta, we have a fractured community with three distinct and separate population centres (North Delta, Ladner and Tsawwassen), each of which has limited understanding of the issues in the neighbourhoods of their sibling towns.”

The election goes Nov. 19.

Knife pulled in park over dog leashes Surrey school district superintendent Mike McKay greets a group of young students at Jessie Lee Elementary school early Wednesday morning. (Photo: KEVIN HILL) kids at school feeling left on the sidelines.

“The kids that are on their own, those are the kids that you kind of chat with,” he says, bending down to pick up some litter.

“I went to six schools myself so I know that feeling, you know, as a kid arriving as the outsider,” he admits.

He stops to chat with a group of seventh graders gathered at the back of the school. They talk hockey.

“Think Luongo will start as a goalie?” McKay asks.

“Could be,” replies one.

He resumes the walkabout and comes upon another group of boys tossing around a football.

One of them throws the plastic pigskin wide and McKay picks it up and returns the play.

He completes his circle of the schoolyard by greeting students, now arriving in droves, with a cheery “Good morning.”

McKay admits that BCTF’s strategy of forcing managers to fill in for supervision duty is disrupting workflow in the school district.

“It certainly makes it challenging to have any

rhythm as far as regular work,” he says.

To save time, staff is assigned to a school that’s enroute to the District Education Centre in Whalley. In a school district the size of Surrey, with its 100 elementary schools, it takes some tricky juggling.

Staff often stay after hours to catch up, and late night email exchanges are more frequent than before the job action.

McKay’s morning meetings with assistant superintendents, which typically start at 8:30 a.m. now begin at 11:30 a.m.

Despite the lack of progress at the bargaining table to date, McKay remains optimistic about the labour dispute.

But he’s prepared for a lengthy one and many more supervision rounds at Jessie Lee Elementary.

“There won’t be a point where we say we can’t do this anymore because that’s not a choice.”

Promptly, at 8:30 the school bell rings.

McKay slips off his vest as he walks back toward his SUV and heads for the office.

DELTA – Delta police are looking for a guy who pulled a knife on a dog owner who unleashed her pets along a trail where she wasn’t supposed to.

The incident happened last Wednesday, just after 10 a.m., along the Delta Nature Reserve trail, where municipal bylaw signs posted along the path say dogs must be leashed.

Sgt. Sharlene Brooks said the woman let her dogs off their leashes and headed down the trail, where she ran into a man on a bike.

The woman told police the man started yelling at her to leash her dogs, pulled out a knife, dismounted from his bike and made a verbal threat.

The woman left, saying she would call police, and the man took off north along the trail on his bike.

Watts should lose job over Bush gaffe, lawyer insists

Davidson said Watts and council are ignoring the law, pointing to Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and the Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes Act. Davidson said Bush has been accused of many crimes that are considered war crimes and crimes against humanity.

“Also Mr. Bush has been quite forthright in admitting that he authorized torture, and even seeming to be quite proud of having done that,” Davidson said.

Davidson said the “political thing to do” would be to simply bar Bush entry under the IRPA. “The law is very clear. There aren’t any exceptions; the law doesn’t say if he’s a former head of state or if he’s been invited by the mayor of Surrey to talk about nontorture items, the law doesn’t say if the mayor of Surrey could turn a profit on it, then by all means let’s set the law aside.”

Davidson said, in her opinion, the mayor and councillors should be voted out of office for this.

“It’s a dereliction of duty that’s quite severe,” she said.

Davidson said that Lawyers Against the

She said she will be there if Bush does come, but is optimistic the appearance will be cancelled, adding she wants to set up a meeting with Watts.

Sikander Hayat, a Newton resident, said this is the first time he has been disappointed with Watts.

“I have been very proud of her pulling our city forward, even during the bad economic times, but I think this is stirring things up without any reason,” he said.

Hayat said he would like the city to cancel Bush’s appearance.

“Why would we invite somebody who wasn’t even wise enough to make good decisions for his own country?” he said.

He said he may participate in the protest, but only if it is peaceful.

“At the end of the day, it is a democracy.

We have to express our opinions democratically and not violently.”

Norman Stowe, co-ordinator of the summit with the Pace Group, said there’s been no talk of cancelling former president Bush’s appearance at the summit.

The event is sold out at 500 people and has a waiting list. Tickets are $599.

“We certainly recognize that there are people who have different opinions and they’re certainly welcome to express those opinions but we don’t see any reason, none at all, for looking at cancelling,” Stowe said.

Watts said Bush’s invitation stands.

“We’re not cancelling anything. We’re not cancelling the Kielburgers, we’re not cancelling president Clinton or president Bush or the other panelists that will be there,” she said. “People have every right to put forward their opinion, and we’ve got the summit scheduled.”

Watts said that Bush’s appearance alongside former president Bill Clinton is

just a part of the summit.

“There’s many pieces to it. And somebody might not like the other pieces,” Watts said.

“It’s Canada. Everybody has every right to voice their opinion and we have no issue with that.”

Watts said having Bush and Clinton at the summit will offer a great learning opportunity for the city.

“We have to remember that Surrey is the second largest border crossing in the country. There’s Windsor and then there’s Surrey. We have billions and billions of dollars coming back and forth across the U.S.-Canadian border,” she said.

“I think given the state of the economy in the United States and now we have two individuals that were president for 16 of those years, I think we have a lot to learn in terms of what worked, what didn’t work, what failed and I think it’s healthy to have those discussions.

“If we only listened and talked to people that we liked and agreed with, we wouldn’t be learning very much.”

Surrey RCMP will be present at the summit and an area will be set up for protestors.

French immersion snub riles Surrey trustee hopeful Marisa Babic

Now staff twitter@marisababic

SURREY – Moh Chelali, a candidate for school trustee with the Surrey Civic Coalition, is urging the Surrey school district to reverse its decision forbidding French immersion teachers from attending a national conference in Victoria.

Chelali, who is also one of the conference organizers, says teachers are upset by the decision.

“This is a unique chance for Surrey educators to network, learn and discuss and share with researchers and colleagues.

Research shows that professional development leads to better instruction and improved student learning,” Chelali said.

“This decision is wrong and I am calling on the school board to reverse its decision.”

School district spokesman Doug Strachan says the district can’t spare the teachers due to teacher job action.

The B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association are in the midst of contract negotiations.

In June, teachers voted in favour of strike action to back up their demands by a margin of 90 per cent.

The union launched phase one of its job action strategy at the start Doug Strachan of the school year and teachers are refusing to perform non-teaching duties such as filling out forms and supervision.

Strachan said the decision to restrict teachers’ professional development days was based on the safety of students.

“Our first priority is to ensure that we have enough people in place to cover supervision for the safety of our students,” Strachan said.

Strachan said some of Surrey’s French immersion teachers might be able to attend the conference – which is set for Nov. 3 and 4 – if the job action situation changes.

Tomatoes to the person who doesn’t know that when you are in the merging lane, you go to the end of the lane and the person in the yield lane must let you in – “that’s the law.”

Apparently ‘The Future Lives Here’ in a world where beauty gets ripped out and replaced with grass seed and dandelions. How long until you return to pave it over to install some gaudy “civic art?”

More tomatoes to people who don’t know how to drive.

Driving schools teach people when they reach a merge to go the end of a merge lane as this is the safest and will cause the least congestion – not to mention it is the law. Learn to drive properly before criticizing those that do!

Victim ‘was friendly with everyone’

‹ from page 1

Asked if there were any signs of robbery, Thiessen replied, “I’m not going to get into what we have gleaned from the scene at this point.”

Thiessen said he also couldn’t confirm reports that Batalia had applied for a restraining order against someone just three months ago.

Her eldest brother, Kulmeet, 38, told the Now he was unaware of any such order.

Asked if his sister had been experiencing problems with anyone, he said “No, never.

She was friendly with everyone.”

He described Maple as a homebody who studied hard. She’d been hitting the books at the campus library and had called home shortly before she was shot.

“She said, ‘I’ll be 10 minutes more, I’m doing my homework,’” Kulmeet said she told their mom.

“My sister will not come back any more,” he cried. “We just want to know who did it and we want him behind bars.”

Meantime, Thiessen said 25 “seasoned” homicide investigators will work full-time around the clock during the first 72 hours in a full-on effort to collar whoever shot the 19-year-old.

A Surrey investigator collects evidence at the murder scene. (Photo: KEVIN HILL) Police had a large section of the thirdstorey parkade cordoned off with yellow barricade tape Wednesday as forensic identification officers scoured the pavement for clues.

Thiessen wouldn’t say if investigators have seized surveillance tape pointing at the scene of the crime.

Don MacLachlan, SFU’s director of

public affairs, said trauma counselling was being offered at the campus in the wake of the murder.

“If I’m emotional it’s hardly surprising,” he told reporters.

“One of our students has been shot dead.

Of course I’m emotional. It’s a terrible shock to all of us.”

Rare dangerous offender hearing for child molester SURREY – A Surrey provincial court judge will decide if Surrey child molester Kyle Wayne Berkson should be declared a dangerous offender and be locked up indefinitely.

The 36-year-old man showed no emotion in February when Judge Jim Bahen found him guilty of sneaking into a nine-year-old girl’s home in the dead of night and molesting her in her bed.

Crown prosecutor Lynett Jung argued that Berkson’s “long and relevant” criminal record calls for a dangerous offender designation.

She noted such designations are “pretty rare,” with 550 dangerous offenders Canada-wide.

The Attorney General must consent to the application. Jung filed that consent in Surrey provincial court Wednesday.

A date for the hearing has not yet been set but it’s expected to take about 10 days. Bahen will preside.

He remains in prison and will appear in court, by video, on Oct.6.

New trial in death of pregnant woman Two men successfully appeal convictions in vicious 2005 slaying Tom Zytaruk

Now staff twitter@tomzytaruk

VANCOUVER – The B.C. Court of Appeal has ordered a new trial for two men who were convicted of first-degree murder in the stabbing of pregnant Surrey bartender Tasha Rossette.

Justice David Frankel set aside the guilty verdicts Tuesday after Amjad Khan and Naim Mohammed Saghir successfully appealed their convictions.

It ripped open an old wound for Simone Rossette, the victim’s mom.

“I don’t know what to say,” she told the Now, sobbing. “I thought they were put away to do their time.”

Khan and Saghir had been found guilty of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder following a judge and jury trial in B.C. Supreme Court.

Amber Alert

Surrey RCMP reunite boy, 4, with his mom Tom Zytaruk

Now staff twitter@tomzytaruk

SURREY – Surrey RCMP issued an Amber Alert Tuesday night that ended peacefully roughly two hours after the alert was activated.

They were looking for a four-year-old Surrey boy who was allegedly abducted by his dad.

Sgt. Peter Thiessen said Mounties were called to the 1500-block of King George Boulevard at about 8 p.m. to investigate the alleged assault of a woman and parental abduction. The Amber Alert was activated at 9:40 p.m.

At about 11:30 p.m. Mounties in an unmarked car pulled the suspect vehicle over and the child was soon reunited with his mom. At press time, charges were pending against a 35-year-old man.

The child abduction alert bulletins are named after Amber Hagerman, a nine-year-old girl who was abducted and murdered in Arlington, Texas, in 1996.

Iconic dealership now known as Flag Mitsubishi SURREY – The car dealership noted for its giant flag is celebrating its 35th anniversary in a few days – with a brand new name.

Sherrold Haddad – legendary businessman, philanthropist and community icon – started his journey with Flag Chevrolet on Oct. 4, 1976.

Since then, the business grew along with Surrey.

“The business success allowed me

to spend time and give back to the community,” said Haddad, who went on to be one of the founding fathers and philanthropic visionaries behind Canuck Place, BC Special Olympics and Surrey Memorial Hospital Foundation.

The enormous Canadian flag used at the Expo 86 site became Haddad’s most notable acquisition – the world’s largest freestanding flagpole, complete with 3,200 feet of flag.

Crime? I’ll show you a real crime.

PainfulTruth Matthew Claxton

I

was perusing (I peruse more often than you might think) some of the federal government’s new crime legislation this week.

The government is hauling a nine-part anticrime bill into the House of Commons this fall, covering young offenders, house arrest, sex crimes, pardons, victim rights, terrorism, and human trafficking.

You’d think this would cover everything.

I mean, previous governments have already ruled things like arson, murder, and dwarf tossing illegal.

But no, the government is already saying that there is more to come. More crimes will be crushed, more crooks punished!

Well, I certainly hope they’ll be expanding the scope of the justice system to a few of my pet peeves.

If you agree with me, cut out this column and mail it to your MP, as encouragement to add these items to the next crime bill!

EATING GRAPES IN THE SUPERMARKET

Oh, the horror. These scofflaws steal grapes one by one, twisting each spheroid off its assigned stem, and concealing the evidence in their mouth. Their accomplices, the tongue and teeth, then dispose of the evidence, hiding it in the alimentary canal.

This theft likely costs grocery stores everywhere in the tens, maybe the dozens of dollars every year!

Recommended sentence: perpetrator is placed in the depths of Tartarus, with delicious grapes hanging just out of reach. Also, $50 grape replacement fine.

SEAGULL IMPERSONATION

Everyone loves seagulls, right? Their mellifluous calls, their beautiful plumage, their dainty eating habits and shy demeanor.

Unfortunately, this has led to many people impersonating gulls in recent years. If you see a row of three gulls sitting on a rooftop, it’s likely at least one of them is actually a human, squeezed into a tiny feather suit and wearing a wooden beak. It’s embarrassing for the gulls and the humans.

Recommended sentence: up to 50 lashes with a feather duster.

take all the furniture in their homes, replace it with origami paper replicas.

CAR REPLACEMENT

BEAR TICKLING

This one is personal for me, because it’s happened to me at least five times in the last year. Car thieves have become so cunning that when they take a car, they leave a perfect replica behind to fool the owner.

Although made of papier maché, white glue, and spun sugar, the replacements are quite convincing, and will actually run. It’s only when the car melts in the rain that you find out you’ve become a victim.

Recommended sentence: while the thieves sleep,

The latest hipster fad, sure to be denounced by PETA, is to find a bear, and tickle it unmercifully. This evil pastime allows the perpetrator to enjoy the laughter of bears, one of the sweetest sounds known to man (after the cries of seagulls). Worse, as we all know, bears have no means of defending themselves against humans since the Foam Rubber Claws and Teeth bill of 2003 came into effect.

Recommended sentence: perp is tossed naked into

a giant burlap sack filled with feathers, then shaken by a giant paint mixer. Each violation means 20 minutes in the Tickletronic 9000.

DADAIST OR SURREALIST HUMOUR

Too many writers these days employ twisted logic, self-referential metanarratives, and just plain

weird crap when trying to make people laugh. It tends to be caused by looming deadlines, but that is no excuse. It must stop now!

Recommended sentence: death.

‘Breakaway’ highlights If SCC could do better, why struggles of minorities isn’t Bose running for mayor?

Harvinder Sandhu

T

here have been a few movies made about us Punjabis in Canada in the last decade.

The stories usually centre on family relations, specifically on domestic violence or cultural clashes.

The latest movie about this community has a slight twist to it.

This one is a little more on the fun side while trying to highlight the many different struggles Punjabis – and in a sense, other minorities – face as they try to make Canada their new home.

Breakaway is about a young Punjabi male who loves ice hockey and wants to play it professionally. The movie shows how this dream may never come true for this youth.

He has to overcome not only the establishment, which closes its doors on minorities wanting to enter mainstream sports, but also to get his father’s approval to pursue his dream.

This is one of the often touched on subjects in the written arts and now explored in Breakaway. It is a fact that South Asian parents want their children to follow more traditional career paths in academics, such as doctors or lawyers or pursue reliable employment.

Many of these same parents have conflicts with their Canadianborn offspring wanting to do the untraditional. These Canadians want to become musicians or actors, to go into the arts where success is unpredictable.

The movie touches on many issues while also making viewers see the bigger picture of what an immigrant

Harvinder Sandhu’s column appears weekly in the Now.

The Editor, Re: “Surrey Civic Coalition ‘excited’ about candidate slate,” the Now, Sept. 27.

Time and again, Surrey Civic Coalition candidates and supporters write letters to this and other print media publications railing against Mayor Dianne Watts and the direction Surrey is going.

Yet, when they had their second nomination meeting, they failed to nominate a candidate for mayor. If all SCC wants to do is complain about decisions taken by council while not offering a platform of their own – and not providing any leadership within their slate – they simply are not credible.

Why will their leader Bob Bose not stand up and run for mayor? Could it be that Watts and council are doing a much better job of running this city and demonstrating a stronger vision than SCC wants to give them credit for?

As we move into a period of global economic uncertainty, it’s important that our mayor and council have a strong vision for our city, especially when it comes to economic development, jobs and infrastructure for residents and for our business community.

Projects such as the new library and the Cloverdale Recreation Centre are providing jobs and stability for our community while not increasing taxes or sacrificing services. That’s vision, and that’s leadership.

The Editor, Re: “Bottled water ban based on mythology, falsehoods,” the Now letters, Sept 22.

The easiest method of defending a controversial industry is to create doubt.

Whether the information that John B. Challinor II of Nestlé Waters Canada provided the Now is misleading or simply dishonest,

October www.wcgg.ca Golf & Dine 604.538.1818 gets even better!

From

the most important aspect of this tactic is that it confuses readers with false information, thereby making it difficult for them to choose.

Even if I knew nothing about the issue of bottled water, I personally would lean toward the facts presented by the person or group who has chosen to defend or protect, as opposed to the corporation (Nestlé) that stands to gain a ton of money.

It is interesting to note that Challinor touts bottled water as great, when in fact it is far less regulated than tap water – with processing plants for bottled water being tested about once every three years.

At the end of the day, I know where I stand and I hope others become more aware of all the issues surrounding the practice of bottling water and putting a price on it.

family goes through. Its reference to racism is done just right without too much of a sob story for a viewer to slog through. Racism is addressed powerfully in a few short scenes.

The scene that got me was the one in which the star, in a flashback scene in his preteens, wants to play street hockey with some neighbourhood kids. He is accepted, but only if he plays goalie. He soon finds out the other players had bets on who could knock his turban off. Imagine the mark racism left on this youth.

Russell Peters, in the role of producer and also as an antagonist in the movie, brings his usual amazing sense of humour.

Here in Surrey on Saturday to promote Breakaway, he talked about the message in this movie for all Canadians and in turn he asked the Punjabi/South Asian community to send its own message – a message akin to the one sent by the black community in the U.S. when Waiting to Exhale came out over a decade ago.

The African American community propelled that movie into the Top 10 list – Russell Peters is hoping for the same with Breakaway.

His message is go see the “movie at the theatres, do not get a bootleg copy from the meat/grocery store for a dollar,” but to really support what he and a few other South Asians are trying to do, which is to bring awareness to and showcase South Asians in the arts in Canada.

Breakaway starts Friday. Take a non-South Asian friend and go see it, have a few laughs and come away with a little more understanding of this community.

Surrey Arts Centre’s main stage

New-look theatre opens doors Saturday Amy Reid

Now contributor

From the burgundy and plum shades of the 1980s to today’s trendy tones of grey, Surrey Arts Centre’s main-stage theatre has a new look.

“It’s got a much more contemporary look,” said Sheila McKinnon, the city’s manager of arts services.

The 402-seat theatre hadn’t been updated in nearly three decades.

“It was looking a little dated. We knew it was time,” McKinnon said.

The $280,000 renovation project included new paint, new carpeting, millwork on the stage apron, some new lighting and, of course, brand new seats.

The new seats have higher backs, curved armrests and, instead of steel, the seat bases are made of wood.

On Wednesday, Surrey Arts Centre staff put the finishing touch onto the new seats — the plaques with names of people who “sponsored” a seat by making a one-time donation through the Stand Up for the Arts campaign, which raised $45,000 for the renovation.

Some of the plaques will be designated to big-name artists who participated in the campaign, such as country star Lisa Brokop and Christopher Gaze, artistic director of Bard on the Beach.

Additional funding for the project came from a $118,000 grant from the Canada Cultural Spaces Fund, which was matched by the City of Surrey.

Proscenium Architecture and Interiors did the renovations, the same firm that worked on an expansion of the arts centre in 2002.

As a result, McKinnon said the flow from the theatre to the lobby is flawless.

“They were able to complete their original vision for the space,” McKinnon said.

“When you walk from this space into the lobby, with the types of finishes and colours that we have there now, it looks like it was all meant to be.”

Barb Wolfe, performing arts programmer

New seats are part of a $280,000 job to renovate the main-stage space at Surrey Arts Centre. At right, Pat Cleave lays out sponsorship plaques to be placed on new seats in the 402-seat theatre. (Photos: KEVIN HILL) for the Surrey Arts Centre, said she is excited to show the public what has been done to the theatre.

“We have patrons who love their seats — they have their favourite seat and want to sit in it every time.

“We’re looking forward to welcoming them into the new space. They’ve been hearing about it. They heard about it all last season and it’ll be exciting for them to come in and see it for the first time, and sit in those nice, comfy new seats.”

This Saturday, Oct. 1, the public will have an opportunity to see the transformation

first-hand at a theatre open house, from noon to 2 p.m., coinciding with Culture Days, which runs across the country from Sept. 30 to Oct. 2.

Culture Days is about offering free participatory and interactive arts and culture activities.

The theatre open house will include backstage tours, inside stories and a sneak peek of the new main-stage audience chamber renovations.

Surrey Arts Centre is located at 13750 88th Ave. The official opening for the theatre is set for Nov. 9.

ARTS & LIFE In concert Sunday in Surrey

Irish Rovers rein in their inner party animal They’re as inexorably woven into the fabric of Canadian popular culture as Stompin’ Tom Connors, and they’re still going strong, after four decades in the biz.

Best known for crossover hits “The Unicorn Song,” “Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer” and Tom Paxton’s rollicking “Wasn’t That a Party,” the Irish Rovers have also put their stamp on countless Irish traditionals, establishing themselves as legends in the genre.

Original members Will Millar and Joe Millar retired in the mid-1990s and Jimmy Ferguson died in 1997. But George Millar (guitar, vocals) and Wilcil McDowell (keyboards, accordion) have stayed on, with John Reynolds, Sean O’Driscoll, Ian Millar and Fred Graham joining over the years.

They’ve stayed true to the esthetic of the band, and Millar assures that the Rovers are just as concerned with the time-honoured topics of wandering, women and whisky as ever.

“When we released ‘Wasn’t That a Party’ (in 1980), the surgeon general of Canada came out and said the song should be banned, and that ended up tripling sales,”

George Millar says. “He said that we had glorified drinking, and we wrote him a letter saying if you’d actually listened to the words of the song, it wasn’t glorifying drunkenness; the boys in the song end up in jail for their exploits. Still, he did wonders for our sales, so we thanked him for that.”

Millar answered a few more questions in advance of the band’s performance on Sunday, Oct. 2 at Bell Performing Arts Centre in Surrey: What was it like to have a massive hit record in Shel Silverstein’s “The Unicorn Song”?

Millar: “I have this Billboard magazine from back then, and the Beatles were No. 1, we were No. 2 and The Strawberry Alarm Clock were third on the charts. To this day, I shake my head and wonder at it; for that record we had Glen Campbell playing lead guitar, and a bass player we picked up, and there we were next to Sgt. Pepper’s. The charts are so strict now that it could never happen again.”

It’s funny that you were later known for novelty numbers, considering you were also turning out thoughtful concept albums like Emigrate! Emigrate! in 1975.

“That was one of my favourites, and

matter in this country. We can all go to a pub and have a drink; I think that’s why they fell in love with Canada.”

The Irish Rovers haven’t done any television since the mid-1980s, but now it looks like you’ve taken another kick at it.

“Yes; we filmed for a DVD on the coast of Northern Ireland, something to sell to fans at concerts. PBS got a look at it, though, and said they wanted to show it, which is nice. I guess it’ll be shown in November, and then in March. Were also doing another DVD with outdoor scenes in Banff and then concert scenes in Ontario, and that’ll show up for the Christmas after. Mother always said there’d be no rest for the wicked.”

And no retirement for musicians?

“Ah, but see we are going to get out of all of this travel by 2015. The band will be 50 then, and that’s enough for us; there are nine of us on the road, with 28 pieces, so you can imagine what a nightmare it is flying around. We’ll retire from the road, put out a new CD every 18 months and maybe play some folk fests, but no more daily travel. It’ll be a graceful way to put the name to bed. I’ve been doing this since I was 16, and I tell you that Holiday Inn beds are hard on the back.”

Bard fest success; opera in the morning for kids ArtsScene Melanie Minty Columnist

S

uccess is a wonderful thing. I would not mind at all always being on the upswing and surrounded by the sweet smell of success. Oh pooh, you gainsayers.

You can feel good all the time and really don’t need failures to know the satisfaction of success.

Christopher Gaze is probably one of those satisfied with success. And why not?

Bard on the Beach has been a success from day one. At the closing night of the 2011 Bard on the Beach Shakespeare Festival season, artistic director Gaze announced that this summer’s overall attendance at the festival was 84,000, an increase of 5,000 over total Bard attendance in 2010. Sure, they increased the capacity with a new mainstage tent, and their capital funding projects have been successful as well. The whole Bard on the Beach concept is an experience and is a firm fixture for Vancouver. Plan for next year. Updates on Bard on the Beach’s

2012 Festival will be posted regularly at bardonthebeach.org. Tickets will go on sale March 12, 2012.

Peninsula Productions is hoping for similar success to Bard. Peninsula Productions, in conjunction with Tapestry Music, is starting a morning series of concerts and performances for children. First up is a production of the opera Hansel and Gretel at First United Church (15385 Semiahmoo Ave., White Rock) on Oct. 15 at 11 a.m.

This is an English adaptation of Engelbert Humperdinck’s opera. Wow. Who would ever imagine a paragraph with Semiahmoo and Humberdinck? Only here and now, I suppose. Anyway, the presentation is 45 minutes long and will feature a short question-and-answer session after the presentation. Audience members can interact with the cast, and the setting is informal, so you might want to bring a cushion to sit on. Go to www.vancouveropera.ca/vois for more information. Tickets($15) are on sale at Surrey Arts Centre box office, Tapestry Music, Semiahmoo Arts and at First United Church.

White Rock Chamber Music has also enjoyed a great success — perhaps not seating as many patrons at Bard on the Beach, but you don’t have to be bigger

Zachary Stevenson in the rockin’ Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story, at Surrey Arts Centre starting Tuesday, Oct. 11. to be better. Honest. The next concert is Saturday, Oct. 8 at 7:30 pm at Pacific Carlton Retirement Residence, 15366 17th Ave. Featured performers are tenor Jerret Schwartz, violinist Julie Lin, pianist Grace Lin, a duo of opera singer Eva Tavares and

jazz singer Eric Kallo, and pianist Jennifer Hung. Admission is $5, everyone welcome.

Proceeds go to Peninsula Arts Foundation for arts scholarships for youth of the Semiahmoo Peninsula.

And when we are talking about success, you can’t top Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story, billed as the world’s most successful rock ‘n’ roll musical. A whole list of hit songs penned by Holly are part of this musical, and good news: The Arts Club production is on tour and scheduled to run at Surrey Arts Centre from Oct. 11-28. Star Zachary Stevenson, who wowed audiences with his performance as the title character during a sold-out run last summer, says, “It is truly a privilege to perform with such a talented cast, and I’m looking forward to kicking it up a notch on the road!” Vibrant and celebratory, Buddy highlights the talent and passion that live on in his music, thrilling audiences long after they dance out of the theatre. Tickets range from $29 to $48 at the box office, 604-501-5566. And just an historical note; Buddy Holly was honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Sept. 7, which would have been his 75th birthday. How sweet it is.

‘WASHTAR GUITBOARD’ IN CONCERT

I

t’s a numbers game this season for Surrey Children’s Choir, and those numbers aren’t adding up just yet.

“We’re still facing some major challenges in terms of chorister numbers in our young choirs this year,” reported Danica Kell, who is spreading word about choir auditions.

This is the 20th-anniversary season of the celebrated choir, which prides itself on being part of Surrey’s cultural fabric.

Led by artistic director Stephen Horning, the SCC family of choirs includes two younger training choirs, plus youth, chamber and adult choruses.

“This year,” Kell told me, “our junior and intermediate training choirs especially have plenty of room for new singers, as many of their previous members have succeeded in moving on to the senior level of Surrey Children’s Choir, one of our premier performance and touring groups.”

Kell was six years old when she began singing with the choir, and she’s now in her

Artistic director Stephen Horning with members of Surrey Children’s Choir during rehearsal in 2009 at Ocean Cliff Elementary school in South Surrey. (Photo: FILE) 16th year with SCC. She was recently hired as choir manager. Singing with the group is a unique opportunity to make lifelong friends and foster a sense of community, she raved.

“Many of my very best friends are people I met through the choir, people I cannot imagine my life without. When you sing alongside someone, when you create music together, you build a bond that is quite unique

News from White Rock Blues Society includes a trio of shows on the calendar, including an Oct. 22 date at the Rhumba Room featuring Nathan James Trio, the fifth annual Yuletide Nathan James Blues benefit (Dec. 11) and a New Year’s Eve shindig with The Twisters.

Nathan James Trio, the touring band for harmonica player James Harman, sounds like a lot of fun, with James on “washtar guitboard” (a homemade washboard-guitar thingy), Troy Sandow on upright bass and Marty Dodson on drums. tzillich@thenownewspaper.com twitter.com@tomzillich

One wild ride with ‘Big Wave’ Dave and company 40Under40 Kelley Scarsbrook Columnist

Columnist Kelley Scarsbrook is on a mission this year to fulfill 40 goals before her 40th birthday. Here’s her latest adventure:

O

ne of the more spirited adventures I’ve always wanted to try is whitewater rafting.

What’s great about it is that, despite being a really exciting outdoor activity, it is also safe enough to take even a novice person along for the ride.

Which is why, last weekend, I coaxed my husband along on a drive up to Lytton, where the Hyak River Rafting Centre is located. Although it took us three-and-a-half hours, starting at 6:30 a.m. on a Sunday morning, it was well worth the drive.

With coffee in hand, we embraced the chilly morning with more than 60 other thrill-seekers, dressed in shorts, T-shirts and waterproof jackets.

We were greeted by “Big Wave” Dave (otherwise known as Dave Taylor), who said he had been working with Hyak for more than 20 years. He imparted a few sage words of advice before we headed over for our introduction to the rafting experience, which included, “Expect to get wet” and “Wear one of the wetsuits because it can get really cold on the river.”

He then directed us to the main guide, Sophie Brochu, who gave our group an overview of the day. Her main concern was proper footwear. I had on

Columnist Kelley Scarsbrook (second from left) on a trip down the Thompson River out of Lytton with Hyak River Rafting Centre. my walking water shoes; however, some who were wearing flip-flops were told they would not work on the raft (they’d fly off too easily). Also, wetsuits were encouraged and provided by Hyak along with water-resistant jackets.

We were suited up with lifejackets, helmets and handed an oar – and ushered onto a bus with “Big Wave” Dave for a half-hour bus ride to the Thompson River. With music pumping and nervous chatter surrounding us, the excitement was palpable.

As we exited the bus, and walked down to the river and our waiting rafts, and everyone soon silenced. As we each took our seats on the raft, we were advised by

our guide, Joe Kerrigan, of the dos and don’ts while onboard.

With eight of us in the raft, we had to be mindful of our oars and working together as a group during the ride through the rapids. He instructed us how to get to the centre of the raft, as well as how to forward and back paddle, when needed.

There were 27 rapids we would come across, which had names such as “Jaws of Death,” “Cutting Board” and “the Witch’s Cauldron.” There was 36 kilometres of river that we would be covering, and the ride would take approximately four-anda-half hours to complete.

After about 20 minutes on the water,

OCT 13 –16 VANCOUVER CONVENTION CENTRE

we encountered our first rapid. It was swift and powerful and took my breath away. My paddle was a bit hard to operate through the first one, as I had to get used to the motion. It took me three rapids to figure out how I should be leaning and paddling as each one hit.

Every rapid we met was different and unique — and offered its own set of challenges.

The parts of the river that were quiet allowed riders an opportunity to bask in the sun and take in the views of the deep canyons surrounding us. As we passed by waving fishermen, who were fishing for salmon right off the rocks, it gave riders a glimpse of a different kind of serenity that few people ever have the chance to appreciate.

Our group also had the opportunity to jump into the river and hang onto the raft as it went through some of the “tamer” rapids on the trip. It was cold but fun, as we were able to experience the thrill of being right “in the thick” of it.

Getting back into the raft was a bit of a chore; however, each of us pitched in to help one another slide back to safety.

The last thrilling rapid we went through was so powerful that it almost toppled our raft. However, once safely through it, we all let out a cheer, waving our paddles high in the air.

And with tired arms and a smile pasted on my face, I knew I would have many stories to share of my adventure on the Thompson River for years to come.

Post-divorce ‘golfers’ unite for 12,000-mile trek Julie Crawford

Now contributor

You don’t need to be a scratch golfer to enjoy the new golf travel show Highways To Fairways. In fact, it’s probably better if you’re a duffer like Charlie and Wayde.

Charlie Teljeur and Wayde Greer hack their way around the course, spending equal time in the rough and water as they do on the fairway.

But it’s not about the golf, it’s about the unique courses the guys visit, and the journey that takes them there. As the camera rolls, the pair cover almost 12,000 miles in 60 days, touring quirky courses in Canada and the U.S. and facing homesickness, RV trouble and some very questionable golf along the way.

Their mandate: play courses that are public, affordable and with unique qualities viewers will enjoy.

“We think there’s way too much starch in golf,” says Teljeur. “We appreciate what the high-end courses do, but there are lots of people out there who don’t spend $10,000 on golf clubs.”

Greer agrees, noting that 90 per cent of golfers can’t break 90 on the course, and 70 per cent can’t break 100. “We are the public

Joe-average golfers Charlie Teljeur and Wayde Greer travel to some quirky places, including the oval at the Indianapolis 500 speedway (pictured), for their TV show Highways To Fairways.

player,” he says.

That means, for example, that the guys skip the tony Wyndham championship course and instead head to Brevard, North Carolina, where llamas were their caddies.

They golf on the grounds of a maximumsecurity prison, and from inside the oval

at the Indianapolis 500. They chat to actor Morgan Freeman in his Ground Zero Blues Club, in Clarksdale, Mississippi.

The guys met on the ice playing hockey, which might account for Teljeur’s Happy Gilmore-style of driving the ball.

Personal crises were the genesis of

the show. Both Teljeur and Greer found themselves divorced, and at “the same crossroads at the same time.” Teljeur took off on a road trip to Austin for 28 days, and was anxious to find a reason to do it again. “After a couple of drinks in my basement, we came up with this idea for the show,” said Greer.

After pitching the idea, Haliburton County offered $250,000 in funding for the show’s pilot. The guys say they basically had a week to get together a budget plan, and within a month of that basement meeting they were on the road.

“It’s not like a network came to us, we mortgaged our entire future to do it,” says Greer, a single dad with a nine-year-old daughter. “We created a series based on an idea, not a paycheque.” see › page 25

They credit their hometown of Haliburton, Ontario, for making it happen.

“Haliburton is a small town that has struggled financially... but we just went to them with an idea, and they believed in us,” said Greer. Locals held a benefit event for the project, and raised enough money to gas up the very thirsty RV. When I get ready to ask a key question, Greer jumps in: “Are we getting married? We get that a lot,” he laughs.

One episode zooms in as the cameraman tears into a glazed donut burger. So did they gain weight on the road? “We ate out almost all the time,” acknowledges Teljeur, “mostly at greasy-spoons and truck stops.”

And the most obvious question gets the quickest response: “No, our golf game did not improve!”

The show’s pilot features a course in B.C.’s Okanagan, and the guys plan to head west again for season two.

reality-TV. We don’t doctor shots or set up scenes,” says Teljeur. That means things sometimes get a little sophomoric on the bus (Greer sticking Corn Nuts in a sleeping Teljeur’s mouth) and on the fairway, where a lot of words have to be bleeped out. “There’s no faking who we are and how we play golf,” said Greer. “We just can’t walk around the course saying ‘Oh my gosh’!”

A prolonged golf getaway seems like every man’s dream, but two months on the road can test even the best friendships.

Still, the guys are eager to do it again. “The goal is to do this every year until we get sick of doing it,” says Greer. Teljeur agrees: “The show’s about friendship, golf and the adventure of life... there’s way too much that happens on the road, and life’s in front of you, so go for it.”

“Just don’t expect any tips!”

Highways To Fairways airs locally on Chek TV at 7 p.m. Saturdays, and also plays on TVtropolis and Fox Sports World Canada networks.

Talent auditions are a real blast — win or lose A Kwantlen Poly-U student tells story of bid for Canada’s Got Talent Special to the Now

H

ere I stand at six o’clock on a Tuesday morning in front of the Westin Bayshore, Vancouver. You would think that I was a real somebody gearing up for a swanky vacation, but today, I was just another number.

Over the past two days (Sept. 19-20), thousands of hopefuls had lined up at this hotel, wanting to be discovered at Canada’s Got Talent preliminary auditions.

As Breakfast Television host Greg Harper walked through the lineup, talking to auditioners live on camera, mixed feelings were had by those who were there for moral support.

A lady in front of me, there with

her daughter, covered her face: “I’m skipping work right now,” she said, “I don’t want them to see me.”

A British lady behind me turned her back to the camera. “I hope my husband doesn’t watch this. He thinks I’m in Campbell River puttin’ my boy to school.”

Francesca, a 17-year-old from Campbell River, with a big sweater, string-bean legs and pixie-short hair, was standing in front of me. When I asked her what her act was, she shrugged.

“I’m an indie kid,” she said, holding up a ukulele. “I’m singing ‘Fever’ with this.”

She and I spotted an older woman in a sparkly black dress, and with black and white feathers atop her head, in the lineup. We assumed she would be

dancing and definitely would get on TV. In front of me was Jeff, from Coquitlam, a gangly looking man with hunched-over shoulders, long blond hair, a pointy chin, and dark glasses – a self-proclaimed entertainer.

“I may sing,” he told me. “I’m not a comedian, but I may try.”

He went on to boast to everyone in line that people often tell him he’s excellent entertainment.

“I’m mainly here for the party,” he said, pumping his fists into the air.

The lineup started moving at around quarter to 10, and the entire outside group was ushered inside, walking for what felt like forever through an empty maze while the batch of people before us sat in a crowded practice room. see › page 31

SEWER MAINTENANCE Sep 19 – Oct 21, 2011 Metro Vancouver will be performing maintenance work in the early morning hours on a section of sewer pipe that runs through Delta’s Watershed Park. This work will include using a magnesium-based spray for corrosion control. Park users and local residents may notice a sewer odour, which is normal for this maintenance work.

We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.

For more information, please call Metro Vancouver at 604.444.8474

As part of the City’s maintenance program, the flushing of the watermains in the areas located between 152nd Street & 168th Street & 76th Avenue to 104th Avenue will occur from October 3 to November 25, 2011.

Flushing of watermains is required to remove sediments and to maintain water quality. This may result in your water supply appearing cloudy due to the sediments.

Since some staining of laundry may result and some industrial processes may be affected, we recommend the following.

• Run your cold water tap until the water clears up • Check the water supply prior to doing laundry If in doubt, call the Water Department at 604-591-4152 from 8 am - 4 pm or 604-543-6700 after hours.

Thank you for your cooperation.

ARTS & LIFE

Open auditions a mix of talent, craziness ‹ from page 30

A man behind me, going by the name of “Michael Wouldnot,” looked at me with a toothless grin.

His curly, stringy brown hair and stained clothes made me wonder what he was about.

“I toured with BB King,” he told me.“He’s just a big teddy bear. No need to be intimidated by him. I toured with the Chili Peppers, too.”

The fact that he wouldn’t sing for me had me doubting that what he told me was true.

Open auditions is a mixed bag of talent and craziness.

As he talked to me, a woman in a full, fuzzy white rabbit suit walked by like it was the most natural thing in the world.

Soon, I was inside the holding room.

A blues band played in the corner, while people stood around singing, practising acrobatics, belly dancing and doing the splits.

The energy was high as people hummed songs, drank coffee and visited with fellow auditioners.

After putting away three cups of free Tim Hortons coffee in the holding room, I ran to the bathroom, where I spotted a very distraught older woman.

When I walked up to her, I realized that she was the woman Francesca and I had earlier spotted, with the feathers on her head.

“I blew my audition,” she said dramatically.“My grandkids would have been so excited to see grandma on camera, singing ‘All that Jazz,’ but all I could get out was the first two verses and then I froze!”

The members of Almost Christmas get ready to perform an original song.

She frantically puffed up her hair.

“I just got so nervous,” she said, giving me a hug and wishing me good luck before we parted ways.

Back in the holding room, I filled out a form and received a number.

The process so far had taken about five very enjoyable hours, full of new friendships built on encouraging words, excitement and shared experience.

A new set of numbers was called, and I nervously followed a woman waving a Canadian flag up two escalators to yet another waiting room.

Inside the audition room were two people: one of the show’s producers and a cameraman.

Five other people and I filed into a small square room and attempted to confidently belt out our songs in a fervent effort to impress the producer.

After all of the anticipation leading up to this minute – and a 30-second impression – we all got handed pieces of paper letting us know we will be contacted by Oct. 15 if we have made it to the next round of Vancouver auditions.

Feeling shaky and slightly relieved that I could finally take off my high heels and relax, I spotted Jeff hunched over by the entrance.

“I did terrible,” he told me glumly.“I tried to do a rock and roll song in a big-band style.”

As I scratched my head, trying to figure out what on earth that would even sound like, he tapped me on the shoulder, waved his hands around, and sang ‘Look on the Bright Side of Life. I laughed and waved goodbye.

Even if I don’t make it, Canada’s Got Talent auditions were more than enough fun for me. But still, I may wait by the phone — just in case.

Funny ‘Bridesmaids’ feels a little like Whistler Julie Crawford

Now contributor

Bridesmaids Directed by Paul Feig. Starring Kristen Wiig.

My rating: 8 (out of 10) Bawdy comedy Bridesmaids was poopooed by detractors, who loved The Hangover but were squeamish about watching females get down and dirty and air their “girl stuff ” on the big screen.

No girl stuff, I promise, just the type of good ol’ fashioned bodily fluids you’d see present at any Whistler stagette.

SNL’s Kristen Wiig plays Annie, whose childhood friend (Maya Rudolph) has just announced that she’s getting married.

Annie is the maid of honour, but then she gets introduced to the wedding party, which includes a timid newlywed, a readyto-party mother of three, a chubby alpha female, and the perfect new BFF of the bride (Ellie Kemper, Wendi McLendon-

Covey, Melissa McCarthy, Rose Byrne respectively).

Annie’s jealousy gets in the way of the wedding planning, and everything goes horribly and hysterically wrong.

The most famous Kristen Wiig scene is, of course, the scene in the couture bridal shop where the women get food poisoning and all hell breaks loose, from both ends.

But some of the funniest scenes feature Wiig (who co-wrote the film) playing her dorky, neurotic self to full effect.

Special features on standard disc include a gag reel and a very funny Line-O-Rama, wherein the actors ad-lib all sorts of weird and disgusting lines before lighting on the right one.

OTHER TITLES OUT THIS MONTH

It holds up, even after 70 years, and never fails to bring a tear to a mother’s eye: the story of the outcast baby elephant and his friend, Timothy Mouse. The newly restored, 70th anniversary edition of Dumbo has been released on DVD and blu-ray, with never-before-seen deleted scenes and songs, trivia and kids’ games, animated shorts, audio commentary, a fascinating making-of extra, plus a look at Disney’s favourite kids’ ride, and more.

Every time one of my Scottish relatives came to Vancouver, they’d be accosted by ex-pats wanting to know what was happening on Coronation Street, since we in Canada lagged woefully behind. We, in turn, could tell them who shot JR. (This was that quaint age before internet spoilers, remember.) You can re-live all the workingclass drama of the Rovers Return Inn with your favourite episodes, packaged in twodisc sets. Best of the 1970s, for example, starts with Ann Walker’s secret admirer

and a third marriage for Elsie Tanner. The show with the iconic theme song, which first aired in 1960, is the world’s longest-running soap opera still in production, and spawned a stage show which condensed 50 years of Coronation Street drama – 115 deaths, 37 births and 86 marriages – into two hours.

Part Grey’s Anatomy (same creators), part Lost, ABC’s Off The Map was about rookie doctors learning the ropes of jungle triage in a remote, South American clinic. Problem one is the DVD’s front cover: these guys are dead ringers for Sawyer, Kate, Jack et al, and it’s too soon after Lost to try and convince us otherwise. Next problem? Some of the impoverished “locals” visiting the clinic and handing out chickens for payment look like they’ve walked out of an LL Bean catalogue.

How remote is this place, if there are ziplining tourists and German babes fresh off a cruise ship? Off The Map offered some decent acting (Mamie Gummer, in particular) but failed to resonate with viewers.

s a colour designer, I love busting colour myths. One of the many of these floating around out there is that using several different colours will make a space look chopped up. If done badly, yes — that will be the case. But this is just one of many cases in which colour gets the undeserved bad rap.

It’s rather like blaming the car for being a lemon, rather than the car manufacturer.

Done correctly, even a multitude of colours can make a space feel cohesive, harmonious and engaging.

I recently received the call that I had always suspected would come. My client was tired of having so much white and was ready for colour.

She had acquired new artwork for a large wall in the dining room that we both felt would look spectacular with a dark colour as its background.

However, she still wanted to keep most of the walls white. I felt that if colour was to be added then it had to be done in several areas throughout the space in order to create balance, not just one wall screaming for attention.

The main floor of the townhouse comprises an open-plan living room, dining room and kitchen. For the dining room wall and its new artwork, we chose a colour that can only be described as a mix of purple, blue, and grey.

It’s a wonderfully complex colour that’s hard to pin down. It’s dark and rich and when you look at it you can’t make up your mind what colour it is, but soon enough you don’t care about figuring it out; you just want to enjoy it.

It’s so beautiful on its own that it actually took my client quite some time to hang the artwork.

The kitchen has zebra-wood cabinets that extend to the ceiling. We had chosen black for both the countertop and the backsplash.

My client says people constantly comment on what a sexy kitchen it is. However, I knew that if we put some colour on the kitchen ceiling, it would look even better. see › page 37

Two different shades of a blue-grey colour for the bulkhead and the recessed centre of the ceiling were used, with the recessed section being the darker of the two. Getting rid of the white ceiling was the final touch in making the kitchen feel complete. Your eyes now follow the dark vertical line of the zebra-wood into two shades of receding blues rather than the abruptness of white.

On a small wall in the entrance area across from the dining room, we used another complex colour — still in the purple-bluegrey family, but lighter this time because of how much white would be surrounding it.

A small wall at the top of the second-floor landing was going to be a challenge. It’s a space that doesn’t get much light, so normally I would suggest using a dark colour (another colour myth to tackle in the future). However, I didn’t want that wall to be in competition with the dining room wall. Ultimately, we chose a slightly de-saturated turquoise and it’s

KEY POINTS TO REMEMBER

There must be an architectural logic to which walls will receive colour. Picking random walls will defeat the purpose and make the space feel disjointed.

Use variations on a theme. The four colours introduced on the main level all bear a family resemblance. The same colour over and over will leave people perplexed. Wildly different colours can lead to the chopped-up path.

Saturation is important. Because we had used an off-white, we were able to harmonize with slightly desaturated colours, thus maintaining the level of elegance desired by the client.

perfect. A flat finish was crucial, as any sheen would have robbed it of its sophistication.

Another small wall at the top of the third-floor landing gets a lot of light, so this time we went for a lighter and bluer version of turquoise.

The new blocks of colour lead you around the room, giving it a wonderful flow from wall colour to art to furnishings. Artwork and furniture come alive now that colour is supporting and connecting all the elements.

When the home was entirely white, everything felt disparate, as though each element was suspended in space without relating to other pieces in the room. Instead of chopping up the space, colour has succeeded in making it feel cohesive, harmonious and whole.

Local Roadshow Expert Examines Some Gold Jewellery

After many very successful shows around the Lower Mainland, The Roadshow is is now herehere in White Rock, Roadshow now in Langley, BC. So you had better search through your attics and garages, go through your lock boxes and jewellery, because you may be sitting on a small fortune and not even know it! Roadshow experts are here to examine all your antiques, collectibles, gold and silver.

jewellery she was never going to wear anyways.

Expert Elijah Gold explains, “We have noticed a substantial increase in the amount of precious metals such as gold and silver coming to the Roadshow, which makes sense considering how high it’s currently trading at. He added, “The Roadshow is great because it puts money in people’s pockets, especially during such hard times. Lots of items that are just sitting around collecting dust in basements and jewellery boxes can be exchanged for money, on the spot!”

During a show near Toronto, a woman came in with a jewellery box that she had just inherited from her late aunt. “I don’t wear jewellery,” explained Barbara Engles, “so it was an easy decision to come down to the Roadshow to sell it”. She was very excited when she was able to walk away with a cheque for over $2,100 for

At another Roadshow event, a woman, named Mira Kovalchek, walked in with a tin full of hundreds of old coins that were given to her as a young child by her grandfather.

She finally decided to come in to the Roadshow and see what he had given her. She was ecstatic to learn she had coins dating back to the late 1800’s, some of which were extremely rare.

Roadshow consultant Perry Bruce explains “We had uncovered an 1871 Queen Victoria 50 Cent piece, valued at over $2,000!! She had a nice assortment of coins that were not rare dates, but she was able to sell them for their silver content”.

She explains, “I never would have thought that my old tin of coins was worth so much! I can finally afford

to renovate my kitchen”. Perry Bruce continued, “Canadian coins prior to 1967, and American coins prior to 1964 are all made with silver, and we have noticed a large increase of customers coming to the Roadshow with coins and cashing them in for their silver value”.

Experts at the Roadshow will evaluate and examine your items, FREE OF CHARGE, as well as educate you on them. The Roadshow sees hundreds of people during a one week event, and they have been travelling across Canada to different cities and towns, searching for your forgotten treasures.

Trains, dolls, toys, old advertising signs, pocket watches, porcelain and bisque dolls, pretty much everything can be sold at the Roadshow. Any early edition Barbie’s are sought after by the Roadshow collectors, as well as a variety of Dinky Toys and Matchbox cars. Lionel Trains and a

variety of tin toys can also fetch a price, especially if they are in their original box or in mint condition.

If a collector is looking for one of your collectibles, they often make offers to buy them.

A man brought in a 1950’s Marx Tin Toy Robot, in fairly good condition, still in its original box.

We were able to locate a collector for that specific toy within minutes, and that gentleman went home with over $700 for his Toy Robot and a few other small toys.

So whether you have an old toy car, a broken gold chain, or a Barbie sitting in the closet, bring it down to the Roadshow, we will take a look at it for FREE and it could put money in your pocket!

See you at the Roadshow!

Rub that flank steak, don’t marinade it OnCooking Chef Dez Columnist

F

Letting it rest after cooking will help the steak to retain more of its juices. All meat, from a small steak to large roasts or turkeys, should have a resting time for this reason.

The bigger the size of the meat, the longer it should rest. I let a flank steak rest for at least five minutes.

I have also seen chefs on TV take a knife and “score” the flank steak before going into their marinade; in my opinion this is incorrect as well. Although, at first, it may seem to make sense to put cuts into the surface of the meat to aid in the penetration of the marinade into the steak, this goes against one of the golden rules of grilling meats: Never pierce your meat. The goal of cooking meat is to have the end result as a juicy, flavourful product.

If you pierce your meat (by jabbing a fork into it for flipping, or cutting into it), then valuable juices will be lost. Meat that has been scored prior to cooking will suffer the same damaging situation — and always use tongs to flip your steak, not a fork.

Many premade spice rubs for meat can be purchased at your local grocery store, but I find it more satisfying to create different ones myself, with ingredients I have on hand already. Here is a basic Cajun blackening

spice rub recipe for you to experiment with.

If available in your area, try replacing the paprika (or at least a portion of it) with a sweet smoked paprika for more flavour.

CAJUN BLACKENING SPICE RUB

“A perfect way to add tons of flavour.

Store in an air-tight container for three to six months.”

Ingredients: 1/4 cup paprika 2 tsp dried oregano 2 tsp ground black pepper 2 tsp salt 1 tsp dried thyme Half tsp cayenne pepper, or more if you like it hotter Method: 1. Mix all ingredients together.

2. Use it to liberally coat beef, pork, poultry, or fish before grilling or pan-frying.

3. Finish cooked product with a drizzle of garlic butter.

Yield: Makes just over quarter cup of spice Send your food/cooking questions to dez@ chefdez.com.

M O TO V D E IN AY

lank steak is one of my favourite cuts of beef for the barbecue because it has great flavour, and is extremely tender when cut and prepared properly. Because many people don’t know much about this specific cut, it tends to be a very underrated steak in comparison to more popular cuts, such as strip loin, sirloin, rib-eye, etc. There is also a lot of misinformation in the media about flank steak, and I hope to clear up some of this confusion for you.

Beef flank steak is a long and flat cut of meat from the abdominal muscles of the cow. It is also randomly referred to as a “skirt steak.” It is significantly tougher than other cuts of meat as it comes from a strong, well-exercised part of the cow. The direction of the grain of the meat and connective tissue is prominently visible, especially in the raw form. Moist-heat techniques, such as braising, will be successful in making the

meat tender, but it can also be simply grilled to a rare/medium-rare/medium doneness and then sliced thinly across the grain, and still be very tender.

I have witnessed many chefs on TV state that one must marinate a flank steak before grilling in order for it to be tender. This is not true. Although marinating is fine to do with a flank steak, it is an optional step, not a requirement. The acid in a marinade will break down the connective tissue over time, but I have barbecued so many tender, melt-in-your-mouth flank steaks with no marinating whatsoever. The secret is to make sure you don’t overcook the steak, and then slice it thinly in the opposite direction of how the grain of the meat runs (across the grain).

For optimal flavour, my preferred way of preparing flank steak is to first coat it with a spice rub, grill it to the desired doneness, let it rest for a few minutes, slice it very thinly across the grain and then drizzle it with garlic butter. When slicing it thinly, I also make sure I slice it on an angle — approximately 45 degrees. Flank steak is a very thin cut of meat, and slicing it on a 45-degree angle will make more elongated slices and provide better plate coverage, or sandwich coverage.

An interesting world of ‘B’ across B.C. Margo Pfeiff

Special to the Now

Watch porpoises play from the deck of a seaside retreat, smell homemade bread in rustic ranch luxury, wriggle your toes in beach sand alongside a toasty lakeside fire pit, or savour a breakfast of Eggs Benedict with candied salmon while a moose grazes outside the window.

Up-close-and-personal moments like this — and getting to know the folks who make them possible — are what brings a trip to life. “Bed-and-breakfast inns reflect their owner’s lifetime of experience, and that is exactly what a B traveller wants,” says Evan Penner, president of British Columbia’s B Innkeepers Guild, “and with so much diversity of landscape and character in this province, you’re bound to find what you’re looking for.”

Penner should know. He operates the West End Guest House, an elegant immersion into downtown Vancouver’s Victorian heritage.

Across B.C., innkeepers are making their own special dreams come true, then sharing them with others. Steve Schweighofer and Michel Wagner did just that a short drive outside Victoria. Their spectacular West

Coast retreat, with high vaulted ceilings, is nestled in the rainforest of southern Vancouver Island with views of the mountains of the Olympic Peninsula. “We call Cougar’s Crag an ‘extreme B’ because it’s all about the outdoors,” says Steve. For seven years the pair have hosted hikers and cyclists who come for hundreds of nearby trails including the Galloping Goose. Their two spacious units, with lofts and their own entrances to guarantee privacy in the wilderness, have been a Mecca for kayakers, beach walkers and especially dog-lovers who enjoy free doggie daycare and wash facilities.

A two-hour road trip, including a scenic ferry ride north from Vancouver up the Sunshine Coast, is a dramatic architectural gem perched overlooking Halfmoon Bay, a contemporary B of glass, wood and stone.

Watch grey whales, sea lions and seals from your own private deck while bald eagles soar overhead. After a gourmet breakfast is delivered to your suite, stroll down three levels of stone patios to the sandy beach, go for a paddle or play billiards in front of the fireplace in the common Club Room. This can be a romantic getaway complete with spa treatments. In winter, strap on snowshoes or cross-country skis, then return to warm up in the oceanside

The pretty, private courtyard at Sheridan Lake Bed and Breakfast. hot tub to watch the sun go down.

Heading inland to the Kootenay Rockies, Mirja Vahala has a unique offering: “Call me in advance to arrange classes in acrylic, oil, watercolour painting or drawing while you’re here,” says the artist whose studio and gallery, Inspiring Minds, is part of Windborne B in Castlegar. Vahala is as passionate about art as her husband, Marc Conacher, is about gardening and cooking killer breakfasts like sautéed balsamic pears with brie and cranberry sauce, or mushroom and wine chorizo omelettes.

Together, they create a one-off experience at their art-themed B, with its 60 metres (197 feet) of beachfront on the Columbia River.

Arrow Lake is minutes away for summer playing and, in winter, there is world-class downhill skiing at Red Mountain Resort and Whitewater Ski Resort.

Not far away in the Thompson Okanagan region, Clearwater Springs Ranch is a recent dream-come-true for Sandie and Neil Robinson. For years they owned a safari lodge in Zambia, but longed to run a wilderness outpost in B.C. They found a 121-hectare (300-acre) piece of paradise surrounded by the forests and mountains of Wells Grey Park, and immediately immigrated. Their B opened in 2010, a classic log home with a huge fieldstone fireplace and silence broken only by the sound of a distant waterfall.

Rustic is a common theme and lifestyle in B.C.’s Cariboo region, to the north. So the Kroekers decided to do something different. “Many Cariboo B are very casual, log cabin-type accommodations,” says Deborah, whose husband Vance built their home and one-room suite

Nortons’ place in Prince George dubbed a ‘bed bale’ because breakfast not included ‹ from page 44

at Sheridan Lake Bed and Breakfast, about six hours northeast from Vancouver. It opened in October 2010. “We wanted to offer luxury, pampering and something completely private on the lake.” The modern five-star king-bed suite has its own entrance with a queen-sized sleepingloft, fireplace, fully appointed kitchenette, large pedestal soaker-tub and a spacious, secluded lake-front courtyard where you can spoil yourself with a manicure and pedicure. At your own private dock, a canoe, kayaks and row boat await a paddler in search of wildlife and serenity.

In Northern B.C.’s big-sky country near Prince George, Norton North Ranch is a creative surprise among ranch-themed B. The Norton family has been ranching since the 1800s when they drove cattle north from Texas. Their current ranch/B dates back to the 1950s and these days they concentrate on horses. In fact, the establishment is BYOH — Bring Your Own

Horse — and the Corral Cottage even has its own paddock.

Open the door to each of the three traditional ranching cabins — especially the newly renovated Old Logbarn — and you’ll gasp at the chic modern interior. “We wanted luxury in a rustic shell,” says Dagmar Norton, known for her welcome basket of fluffy, warm cinnamon buns. “We wanted to preserve the heritage exterior, but offer a contemporary interior that would make you open the door and say ‘Oh my God!’” The Nortons call themselves a “bed bale” place because breakfast isn’t included, though they’ll create an epic one anytime — 24 hours a day. “It’s a voluptuous breakfast,” Norton confesses. And even with a full kitchen with granite counters, a convection oven and dishwasher, who wouldn’t spoil themselves with a spread of scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage and homebaked bread with cold cuts and cheese delivered to your room, dressed up pretty like the traditional German breakfast that it is?

Hume leads reader on refreshing stroll around B.C. Carolyn Cooke

Now staff twitter@carolyncooke1

Countless fascinating people, places and happenings make up this amazing province, and some of them are wonderfully portrayed in Stephen Hume’s newest book of essays.

A Walk with the Rainy Sisters: In Praise of British Columbia’s Places (Harbour Publishing) is almost as refreshing as taking a leisurely stroll into the great outdoors we call our provincial backyard.

Hume, an award-winning writer and journalist, has a knack for infusing his writing with the local characters and tidbits of history that make each place so unique.

In this essay collection we visit with a lighthouse keeper’s daughter, contemplate the Seven Sisters and their ability to inspire poets and artists, tag along the shoreline as his daughter and friends explore, and even unearth some history in the course of a renovation project.

The reporter’s eye for detail is enlivened with a very human touch that makes these essays as close as one can get to

actually experience, at least as far as the written word goes. Clearly, Hume’s love of his home province rings out in each of these explorations.

This is well worth the read — if not to explore the wonders of B.C., then certainly to appreciate the wordsmith’s ability to convey it so succinctly.

The reporter’s eye for detail is enlivened with a very human touch…

A GOOD GUIDE TO THE REGION’S MUSHROOMS

Another offering from Harbour Publishing to check out is The Field Guide to Edible Mushrooms of the Pacific Northwest, by Daniel Winkler.

This pocket-sized, water-resistant guide is an amateur mycophagist’s dream come true.

It shows colour pictures of common mushrooms found in B.C., and clearly marks out which are edible, which should be picked with caution and which ones to just leave alone.

Granted, you will still want to have an expert check your haul to be sure they’re safe to eat, but now it’s that much easier to head out on a nature walk with a purpose.

Team hits road for seniors Marisa Babic

WHITE ROCK – A celebrity cycling team pedaling for a good cause made it from Crescent Beach to White Rock Beach unscathed.

The Pebble Pedal to the Pier fundraiser, staged by Sources Community Resource Centres to raise funds for local seniors’ programs, took place Tuesday afternoon.

“We had 10 cyclists and there were no mishaps and we got to the pier,” executive

director David Young said Wednesday.

Besides Young, the team included Betina Albornoz, executive director of Tourism White Rock, Now publisher Marlyn Graziano and Global BC TV meteorologist Mark Madryga, whom Young singled out for praise.

“I, for one, was pleased that I wasn’t wearing my raingear to ride a bike,” Young said, referring to the recent wicked weather.

“We want to thank Mark Madryga not only for his leadership but for the great weather.”

Now in its second year, the Pebble Pedal to the Pier raised $4,000 for a variety of seniors programs offered by the agency.

SEE PHOTO GALLERY ONLINE “Our target is $5,000 and we’re hoping that people will still buy pebbles and support the endeavour,” he said.

The event is based on a legend that promises to bestow good luck, good health wealth, longevity and happiness to “anyone

that carries a pebble from one shore to another.”

White Rock Acting Mayor Alan Campbell accepted the pebbles that were carried by the riders.

One cyclist had to drop out at the last minute but the riders managed to rustle up a volunteer, who happened to be hanging around Crescent Beach, to fill the 10th spot on the team.

Donations can be made online at www. sourcesbc.ca until Oct. 15.

COMMUNITY Cops for Cancer ride in Fraser Valley

Emotions in motion for nine days of beads, bikes The journey began for the Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley 2011 team bright and early last Thursday morning.

Day 1 started with a healthy dose of liquid sunshine. Our spirits weren’t dampened, however, and we set out to visit our first school, Langley Fine Arts, for the opening ceremonies.

After all the months of training, it felt a little surreal to actually be setting off on tour, not just another training ride, riding into schools filled with screaming, cheering children.

Covering about 80 of our 800-plus kilometres, we visited six schools in Langley, Aldergrove and Abbotsford as well as stops at a Coast Capital branch and the RCMP detachment in Langley.

It’s still early on, but it’s already evident that what all the “Tour veterans” told us is true: This is more than a physical journey.

It’s an emotional one that has life-changing possibilities. You can feel it. It’s palpable.

Anyone who has had their life touched by cancer knows how life-changing that diagnosis can be.

It’s in the principal who got choked up talking about his niece’s battle with cancer.

It’s the students at one school who stood up with individual letters that read out “U are heroes.” Or the ones giving a rider quarters as donations. It’s the current and former junior team members who come out to spend time with us. It’s the long-time rider who was touched by the presence of a former junior team member who beat her cancer.

It’s in the mother who made a touching speech to the team and support crew on Wednesday night; she thanked us for doing something to make more beautiful days for more children.

That is why we ride.

At the outset of the tour, each rider received a piece of twine with beads spelling out their name and we’ve been adding new beads every day.

The beads hold a special significance, but the whole process and the fact we do it also holds a special meaning.

B.C. Children’s Hospital runs a bead program for pediatric cancer patients.

Each child receives a necklace with beads spelling out their name. Then, as they go through treatment, they receive a bead for every procedure. The beads are a different

Reporter Jessica Kerr, a member of the Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley team, receives a bead necklace from Miss B.C. Cheryl Dietrich at a kick-off event Thursday. (Photo: MATTHEW CLAXTON) colour and symbolize a different treatment or medical procedure — chemotherapy, radiation, lumbar punctures and needles, to name a few.

Some of the kids’ necklaces are heartbreakingly long.

The team receives beads to symbolize

different parts of our nine-day journey.

Ours are much easier to get. For every day, we get a weather bead. The one for Monday’s ride was blue to signify the rain.

Black beads are bestowed upon riders who crash. Pink ones are given to those who perform a random act of kindness for a fellow rider.

When we visit a school of a junior team member who lost their battle with cancer, we receive a special memorial bead like we did at Rosedale school. They are silver and bear their first initial.

It’s yet another way we honour the people we are riding for.

The nine-day ride continues Thursday, Sept. 29, when the Tour de Valley team makes several stops in Delta before shifting gears for sites in Surrey and White Rock.

The journey wraps up Friday.

‘Feeling of optimism in the air’ at Fraser Downs Opening-night attractions Oct. 7 include chance for fans to ‘own’ a standardbred for the races that evening SURREY — An “awesome” open house at Fraser Downs Racetrack & Casino last weekend was a perfect launch for the return of harness racing.

So says Jackson Wittup, director of racing at the Cloverdale track, where opening night is set for Friday, Oct. 7.

“Harness Racing BC and the horsemen at Fraser Downs put on a great show with an estimated 550 to 600 fans of all ages turning out,” Wittup said of the Sept. 24 open house.

“It was the undertaking of staff and volunteers that made it a huge success and they deserve all the credit.”

The doors opened at 9:30 a.m. last Saturday, with standardbred enthusiasts enjoying backstretch tours, watching qualifiers and meeting trainers and drivers.

Two of those drivers – Dave Hudon, Jr. and Jim Abbott – entertained families with two-seater jogging rides that proved to be the most popular event on the grounds.

The open house was to bring awareness to the resumption of racing at Fraser Downs, beginning Oct. 7 at 7 p.m., with 31 dates on the calendar through October, November and December; the 2012 dates are to be confirmed soon.

Raj Mutti, regional general manager of Harness Racing BC, announced earlier that the take-out rates at Fraser Downs have been reduced to 15 per cent for Win, Place & Show wagering as well as Win 4 wagering.

During the first six weeks this year, there will be thrice-

Cancer June 21-July 22: Your domestic situation, kids, garden, farm, food, mortgage, security, home ownership – you have to take some serious, supportive actions in these this month. You might cut someone/ something out of your life, and begin letting (an)other(s) in. Careful Sunday – avoid impulsive money actions, and friends who urge you to spend. Relationships you want to cultivate hit “road bumps” Tuesday, but a good friend might fill Monday. Look after investments, finances Wednesday to Friday – good luck abounds here! (They’re good “sexy” days too.) Love, children, beauty bring quiet bliss Saturday.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The weeks ahead are not supremely important, but your career remains under great auspices, so use the natural restless, communicative, determined and attention-getting influence that flows over you now to further your career, speak to those in charge, seek information bearing on your ambitions, etc. Sunday raises your romantic antennae, but results are uncertain. A situation might pit your morals or legal awareness against your ambitious urges. Be honest. Tackle (only) routine chores Monday/Tuesday. Wednesday to Friday present many opportunities, if you’re flexible and eager.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Chase money. You can make some Wednesday to Friday by plunging into work, getting a new job, landing clients, or otherwise expending effort. Your intuition will be high about a work-money connection – follow a mild little impulse without questioning it. This is a splendid time to purchase machinery or health supplies, especially cosmetic oils. Earlier, Sunday’s for home, but contains a dangerous “possibility” of being too adventurous in financial, sports or “hidden sexual” zones. Romance might enchant you briefly Monday/Tuesday, but it’s not a winner. Saturday’s busy, alive.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: The accent is on opposition, opportunity, crucial relationships of all kinds. New horizons beckon. If these are foreign, intellectual, cultural, or involve higher learning, publishing, religion or law, pursue them. But if you pursue them merely for your own gain, you’ll hit barriers, especially Sunday and Tuesday. Your sexual, romantic blood is pulsing – add that to this month’s accent on relationships, and the result is obvious.

This week, you could meet true love and a viable mate (both in one) – ambition will play a critical role, for good or bad. Joy comes, Thursday/Friday!

Taurus April 20-May 20: Maintain a healthy lifestyle, eat and dress sensibly. This is a superb time to sink your teeth into a major chore or project – and to impress the powers that be (Wednesday to Friday). However, be wary on the home front Sunday – and all week (no arguments, especially philosophical ones) and avoid machinery or materials with which you aren’t familiar. Your ideas are a bit off-kilter Tuesday, so don’t promote them – and try not to accept chores this day. Saturday brings friendship joys, and starts a month of marital bliss (sweet responses for singles, though “big love” eludes).

Gemini May 21-June 20: Romance, adventure, nature’s beauty, charming kids, success in sports, games and speculation – a possible vacation – you ride a winning streak. You’re also restless, ready to travel. You talk easily, make friends, and can gather information quickly. Sunday pits wanderlust and “easy friends” against “future horizons.” Let the latter win. Don’t invest Monday eve, all Tuesday.

An Aquarian “type” might clearly demonstrate an attraction to you Wednesday to Friday. However, though times are good for short-term love, the bigger picture advises waiting until June 2012 onward.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Make your mark, grab success! Your energy, charisma, timing and effectiveness soar to a yearly high. Get out, ask favours, take charge, give instructions, tackle things that intimidated you before. Your popularity, while not broad, is intense and fortunate, bringing you just the right people, especially if you’re seeking partnerships. (Though this is better for financial than marital partnerships, as sex is high, but fidelity isn’t.) Still, popularity/partnering conflict with money/ sexual desires Sunday: be cautious through Tuesday.

Romance, creativity soar Wednesday to Friday!

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Rest, lie low, contemplate, plan. Be charitable, spiritual. Deal with government agencies, large corporations, wherever red tape rules. Don’t compete: pick safety. Bosses are temperamental, but you can impress them with “pure work.” Sunday’s good for money, but take care this day through Tuesday: words could go where you don’t want them to. A competitor, opportunity or “career adventure” is dangerous (though it could succeed). Home, real estate, security are blessed Wednesday to Friday. Your intuition’s excellent about “letting go” of somebody/thing. Romantic notions Saturday.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Popularity, optimism, flirtations, entertainment, social joys and the feeling that a wish has come true: these fill this month.

Romance, higher education, international matters, or legal affairs might hit a strange barrier Sunday – it’s as if you’re fighting yourself, yet you win. (Avoid legal hassles through early November.) Money and work combine well Monday, but money obstructions fill Tuesday. Run errands, travel, communicate Wednesday to Friday – friends, siblings are helpful, true blue – romance, deep affections possible. Spend Saturday quietly: rest, enjoy nature.

1 MONTH FREE!

Oct. 2 - 8, 2011 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Be ambitious – bosses, parents and VIPs favour you now (especially this week).

Engage in a series of conversations or “proposal meetings.” Be careful Sunday – trying to mix romance and sex, or investments with a gambling mood, might trigger uncontrollable events. Your energy, magnetism and sense of timing improve Monday/Tuesday: be creative Monday, ambitious both days. Your money and earnings outlook improves mightily Wednesday to Friday: your intuition about business, career is tops these days. Saturday’s for friends, happiness. Until mid-November, don’t invest impulsively.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: All intellectual, learning, publishing, international, cultural, legal, religious and similar activities are favoured in October – more this week than later, so don’t delay. (But lie low Monday/ Tuesday.) Relationships are intense – don’t talk so rapidly no one can interject. You could jump all hurdles (especially Sunday or Wednesday to Friday) and find yourself in a huge love affair, scheduled for marriage, or in a huge fight! Wisdom is needed, but you have lots of it this month. You toy with relocating, perhaps a short distance. Your real estate outlook is grand, lucky.

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Mysteries, secrets, half-sensed forces and truths – the depths of life draw you every October. These depths include sexual urges and large finances, health diagnoses, intimate commitments and lifestyle changes. These are very favoured now, especially Wednesday to Friday – overcome any weariness or indecision and dive in.

Earlier, Sunday pits your duties against a desire to talk, wander or travel. Your hopes rise Monday/Tuesday, but proceed cautiously. Work remains intense, and will continue so to mid-November – but it’s lucrative, so keep at it. Your energy rises Saturday. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014

Most Canadian motorists will, at one time or another, be involved in a collision. Collisions are often traumatic. They happen quickly and can catch us off guard. It’s difficult to think clearly and remember what to do immediately after one has happened.

“Being in a collision is stressful, your heart is pumping and you are often in a state of shock. Knowing what your next steps should be can help reduce your stress,” said Eric Michalko of Allstate Insurance Company of Canada.

If you are hit, or if you hit another car, stop driving (if you haven’t already) and assess the car’s damage. Drivers should call the police if anyone has been injured, if the car’s damage is over $1,000 or if it appears that the other driver is impaired.

“Determining who’s liable for a collision can be complicated,” said Michalko. “Insurance companies and police weigh different factors to determine fault.”

In the aftermath of an accident, it is not uncommon to be confused about who to speak to regarding the events that led to the collision. The safest course of action is to only discuss the collision with the police and your insurance company. Do not sign any statements or promise to pay for damages.

the fuel combustion process, the average car produces about three times its own weight in CO2 every year.

Choose a vehicle that fits your everyday needs in terms of size and power. Put some serious thought into your space and cargo needs.

Passenger cars with smaller engines tend to deliver better fuel economy than those with larger engines.

Keep in mind horsepower levels have also doubled over the past two decades and the power available in subcompact cars today exceeds that of many midsize sedans of 20 to 30 years ago.

Natural Resources Canada rates the fuel efficiency of all new vehicles in Canada every year. You can check out their scorecard at www.vehicles.nrcan.gc.ca and have fun shopping.

When it comes to buying a new vehicle, there is a big difference between what you need and what you want.

Do you really need an oversized pick-up truck for driving in the city or a seven-person passenger van for taking the dogs to the lake?

Or would a small, fuel-efficient two-door vehicle get you where you want to go?

You can save hundreds of dollars every year in fuel costs by choosing to buy a more fuel-efficient vehicle, maintaining it as specified in the owner’s manual and adopting fuelefficient driving habits. One quarter of greenhouse gas emissions in Canada come from transportation, half of which are generated by lightduty vehicles.

For example, for every litre of gasoline used, a vehicle produces about 2.3 kilograms of carbon dioxide (CO2). As a result of
