Fraud artist at work downtown, police warn By Jennifer Lang A fraudulent inspector is targeting businesses in Cloverdale, prompting the Surrey RCMP to ask for help spreading the word before more victims fall prey. The suspect walks in off the street, offering to certify fire extinguishers for cash. The problem is, he isn’t certified and the inspection tags or used replacement fire extinguishers he leaves behind are bogus. “It’s one of those crimes that people don’t actually know happened,” explains Carrie Chattell, Crime Pre-

vention Program Coordinator for the Surrey RCMP’s Cloverdale/Port Kells district office. “They just thought that they got a great deal on something.” The amount of money he asks for varies, but in one case, the fraudulent inspector walked off with approximately $500 in cash from the register of a business. The suspect is a grey-haired Caucasian male of medium height and weight. He drives a burgundy four-door car. In the past, a similar scam involved someone passing his business off as Paul’s Fire Protection or Metro Fire Service – but neither business is registered in B.C.

When a similar report surfaced recently, Chattell immediately sent out a warning to all the local businesses on her mailing list. “I saw a file and went, ‘This happened last year,’” she says. The warning resulted in “reports from all over the whole area. People from every business district in Cloverdale called.” Fortunately, most were wise enough to send the man on his way, without falling for the scam. She says a neighbourhood liaison unit is investigating and Surrey RCMP asks local businesses to help spread the word in order to catch the culprit.

A single track is in the cards, Reid says From front page

The key difference, he said, is the two tracks won’t run racing seasons that overlap and eat into each other’s take. Fully enclosed Fraser

Downs will race in the colder months from fall through spring, leaving Hastings Park – which has outdoor bleachers – to take over through the summer. Cloverdale Chamber

of Commerce executive director Bill Reid said he believes an industry consolidation at a single track is very much in the cards. And although there’s pressure in Vancouver

for more parkland in the vicinity of Hastings Park, he expects a concerted battle from forces who want the Vancouver track and not Cloverdale to emerge the survivor.

“It will take some lobbying,” said Reid, a former Social Credit government minister. He argues several factors weigh in favour of Fraser Downs. It would cost much

more to renovate Hastings to accommodate standardbreds than to modify Cloverdale for thoroughbreds, he said. Thoroughbreds at Hastings race a full mile compared to the 5/8 mile harness racing course at Fraser Downs. Lower land values in Surrey relative to Vancouver are also a factor, as is the ease of parking. Horses are already based in Surrey and Langley, he noted, so carting them back and forth to Vancouver daily would make much less Come in for

sense. “We have the community for it,” he said. “Vancouver doesn’t.” Reid said the “supercasino” the goverment plans to build at GM Place stadium will drain gamblers from Hastings Park. “It won’t be viable for a casino at any size to be anywhere within that range,” he predicted. “Hastings Park Casino and Racetrack’s days are numbered anyway.”

BIG RELIEF

Fans of long-running TV show, Smallville, can breath a sigh of relief. An historic hotel in Merritt, B.C., used in the hour-long drama’s intro montage, has been saved after nearly being destroyed by fire. The 102-year-old Coldwater Hotel’s copper dome is seen in the opening scenes of the show, which also uses some “Main Street” shots from Merritt.

VICTORIA – Fans of Bill Vander Zalm’s harmonized sales tax “extinguishment” petition were quick to gloat when the B.C. Supreme Court ruled Friday that the petition can proceed to the next step. “I hear there’s a special today on crow pie,” a Vernon reader said in one of the more polite emails I received. The same reader scoffed at my argument of last week that scrapping the HST would result in a “nightmare of service cuts” in B.C. “If reversing the HST would be a mess, lay the blame where it belongs – at Gordon Campbell’s feet.” I guess if blame is all that’s important to you, this is sufficient. But it’s our grandchildren who might be eating crow pie and dandelion greens if my generation of baby boom voters continues to gobble up more and more expensive services while paying less and less income tax in a world that’s quite happy to take away our industrial base. And make no mistake, scrapping the HST would be a mess, and a costly one. Vander Zalm’s petition calls on the government to reimburse “all British Columbians on a per capita basis” for any HST paid beyond what would have been charged by the provincial sales tax. I asked Finance Minister Colin Hansen what that might cost. He declined to speculate, except to say that it would be “administratively very difficult.” I’ll say. And the huge cost would of course be on top of repaying the $1.6 billion federal transition fund. Then there are the rebates. If you are in the lower income range and were receiving quarterly GST rebate cheques from the federal government, you will now start receiving larger HST rebates. Vander Zalm’s petition neglects to consider those, just as it forgets about the hotel room tax that made way for the HST. If the HST is scrapped, the government could try to claw back all those low-income

Disaster story must be told

The sluggish response to the Pakistan flooding has been blamed on several factors, from donor fatigue to geographic proximity to a relatively low death toll. But before we jump to criticize a seeming lack of compassion, it’s important to look at the role of the media in getting the story out there. In Pakistan, nearly 2,000 people died in the past few weeks, with monsoon rains triggering landslides throughout the country. Hundreds of thousands of homes

Points

were washed out and upward of 20 million residents are affected. The death toll will undoubtedly rise in coming weeks as disease and unsanitary conditions attack a vulnerable population. But the number of news stories coming out of Pakistan doesn’t match the level of devastation. By comparison, the images that came out of Haiti after devastating earthquakes hit the tiny coun-

try were shipped to our news organizations quickly and made the top of the news for the better part of a month. Roughly 230,000 people ultimately died in the disaster, a fact that kept the dollars flowing from around the world. But one must remember that aid is for the living. A country such as Pakistan isn’t the easiest place for a Western news organization to secure

information, especially when the country is in ruins. But if a disaster is deemed important enough, the CBCs and CNNs of the world find a way to get in and tell the story. The Canadian Red Cross has an effective public relations arm that informs people of its aid campaigns and how we can help ease the burden on countries dealing with catastrophes. If the message gets out, aid will flow to the right places in times of crisis. – Black Press

dale’s Most Wanted Bird, prompting a flurry of sightings. Sammy was soon spotted at the park up the street, sitting in a tree, “entertaining everybody,” Nancy says. The Baxters watched him for a couple of hours, hoping to persuade Sammy to fly down, without success. The next day, Sammy’s distinctive whistles from high up in a tree resulted in another eye-witness report. “All you could see was a

patch of red [tail] feathers,” Nancy said. Enough was enough, Kevin decided. “Sammy!” He demanded. “Come home, right now!” “Not right now!” The bird replied, before flying off to parts unknown. Sammy, it seemed, was having a grand old time flitting about Cloverdale. The Baxters, meanwhile, were sick with worry about what might happen to their lovely little bird. They feared he might be stolen and sold, or at the very least come to

harm. “I didn’t want to think that,” Nancy says, acknowledging it started to sink in that Sammy’s adventure might not have a happy ending. Good news finally arrived Aug. 15. A woman phoned saying a parrot had flown into her home and was now secured in the garage. Kevin came to claim him, and, after the careful woman was satisfied that Sammy was truly his bird, a happy reunion ensued. “I think he was probably tired,” says Kevin. “I think he was probably hungry.”

The finder turned out to be Kevin’s former hairdresser. By chance, the finder’s friend had told her about the “missing” posters, which weren’t posted in her neighbourhood. The Baxters are grateful for all the help. “I can’t tell you, around here how kind, caring, concerned and just wanting to be helpful everyone is,” Nancy smiles. Until now, they’ve never clipped his wings. Hopefully, it’s his last big adventure. If he flies away again, “he’d probably survive,” Nancy says. “But I’m not sure if we would.”

Getting a complete picture of how we hear is a good place to begin to fully understand why binaural amplification, or wearing two hearing aids, is important. • Sound waves are collected by both the left and right ears, and channeled through each ear canal to each eardrum. • When sound waves reach the eardrums, the impact cre-

ates vibrations, which are transferred through the middle ears. Each middle ear, the left and right, contains a series of three tiny bones: the hammer, anvil and stirrup. • The stirrup, the third of the tiny bones, is connected to a delicate, snail-shaped structure in the inner ear called the cochlea.

Each cochlea, from the right and left ear, is filled with fluid and lined with thousands of microscopic hairs. • The vibrations of the stirrup set the cochlear fluid in motion, causing the hairs to bend from the waves of the moving fluid. The bending of these hairs sets off nerve impulses that are then passed through the left and right auditory (hearing) nerves. • The auditory nerves carry the signals to the hearing centers of the brain. The brain compares the information from both ears and translates the signals into what we perceive and understand as “sound.” This instantaneous process is how we accurately hear in our 3-D world of sound. However, when a hearing loss affects both ears, and only one ear is amplified, the brain only receives half of the information and can misinterpret what is being heard. This can also result in a lack of clarity, an inability to locate the source and direction of the sound, as well as a reduction of sound quality. Wearing two hearing aids MARIA SANTOS-GREAVES can help us hear as nature intended.

Heidelberg University students protesting school fees form a seemingly endless human snake. Tramping over cobblestone streets, they chant exuberantly. Concerned only with the security of our chilled coffees liberally stacked with fresh whipped cream and dark chocolate shavings, my friends and I retreat to a café table. Waving, singing, and linking arms the kids cheerfully and peacefully state their case. Student democracy – and our treat – is duly preserved. Similar rebellions and carousing in the late 1700s would have

left the hot heads cooling their heels after lectures for a few nights (or weeks) in the University of Heidelberg’s Student Prison (Studentenkarzer). Operational until 1914, a ‘prison term’ generated more folk heroes than bona fide miscreants.

Liberal student comments, sketches and graffiti on cell walls indicate incarceration may have meant more fame than shame. Now a tourist attraction, prison artwork alone makes it a fun stop during a wander around this romantic old city. Heidelberg Castle (Heidelberger Schloss), flanked by terraces and trees, dominates the city skyline. It’s an easy climb up the hill, and worth the effort to admire the late afternoon sun bronzing red brick buildings flanking the Neckar River which meanders around the city below. Suddenly I hear, “Ich

Susanne Fiek, my friend and local tour guide, is leaning on the castle walls smiling impishly while unselfconsciously singing, “I left my heart in Heidelberg.” She is rightly proud of her hometown. Accommodation is plentiful here, but for old town fun, Susanne insists on a peek into the funky, centrally-located four-star Hip Hotel. Replacing the stereotypical floor and room directions, signposts direct us to Athens, Tokyo, Kathmandu, or Havana. Let’s see – would a Che Guevara portrait brooding over my bed suit me more than west African heads in the Dakar room? Can I kid myself I’m

Built by a cloth dealer in 1592, the gabled sandstone town house survived the Thirty Years War and once served as the Town Hall. Now home to both casual and formal dining, it is considered to be Heidelberg’s finest historical and most artistically valuable town house.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK

Ultimate Pork Back Ribs

Personal & Business Banking Financial Advice

PREP TIME: 10 min. Total time: 3 hours Serves: 8

RRSP RRIF RESP TFSA Insurance Services Mortgages, Loans, & Lines of Credit

RIBS 5 lb pork back ribs 1 tbsp salt 1/4 tsp pepper 8 cups cold water 1 onion, coarsely chopped 3 carrots, coarsely chopped 3 stalks celery, coarsely chopped 6 cloves garlic, minced

Ultimate Sauce 1 cup Tomato Ketchup 1/2 cup (125 mL) brown sugar 1/4 cup Soya Sauce 1/4 cup Cider Vinegar 1/4 cup hoisin sauce 2 tsp minced garlic 2 tsp grated fresh ginger 2 tsp thinly sliced Green Onions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Using a sharp knife, score the membrane on the inside of the ribs, making vertical cuts between each rib. Rub ribs with salt and pepper, and place in a large roasting pan. Top with water, vegetables and garlic, cover with foil and cook in the oven for 2 1/2 hours. 2. Meanwhile, combine all of the sauce ingredients in a medium saucepan and simmer over low heat until the sauce thickens and reduces almost by half, about 30 min. 3. Remove ribs from liquid and place on paper towel to drain. Preheat grill to medium-high. 4. Divide sauce into two portions, approx. 3/4 cup each. Brush one portion liberally over ribs. Grill 5 min. per side, basting with sauce as you go (discard sauce leftover from basting). Serve ribs with reserved sauce or save for a separate use.
