MP puts expenses in line

Russ Hiebert is no longer Canada’s top-twospending Member of Parliament. The South Surrey-White Rock-Cloverdale MP has cut his office operating costs by $110,000 for the 2009-2010 fiscal year – nearly half of that travel costs. The MP faced a storm of criticism in May, when it was disclosed he had the second highest expenses for any MP in the country – the second highest in Canada. Last week he announced he’s reduced spending from the $637,093 he racked up in ‘08-’09. Now at $528,000, he’s ranked at 22 out of 35

B.C. MPs in annual expenses. “We are traveling less during the year,” Hiebert told Black Press, referring to plane trips with his family, wife Andrea, and young daughters Kate and Marie to Ottawa. He’d explained earlier that his travel expenses reflected his commitment to keeping his young family together during the weeks Parliament is in session. Now his family is staying in Ottawa for longer periods, while he flies home to his constituents on weekend breaks, or they stay in the constituency longer while he goes to Ottawa.

“I heard people’s concerns and worked hard to be fiscally responsible while still providing a high level of service to constituents,” he said. “When I saw the numbers a year ago – even before this became an issue – I realized the numbers were high and started taking steps to reduce them.” High travel expenses in the form of crosscountry flights with his family members helped put Hiebert second only to a quadraplegic MP with special expenses in terms of travel and operating costs. – With files from Black Press

The average age of Second World War veterans is now 87 – one year older than the Bardens, who are inevitably reminded about their service years when they sell poppies. Emerson still keeps a photo album from those days. It’s filled with black and white images of smiling young men in smart army suits, proudly posing for photos. After army training in Victoria, Emerson was sent to northwest to Kiska, a windswept, volcanic island that’s just 600 miles from Japan.

Then it was onto Europe: Liverpool, Normandy, Belgium and the Netherlands, serving as an ambulance crew member. He doesn’t elaborate, but he was glad to get home. Patricia, meanwhile, jokes she “did what I was told,” in Ottawa. Emerson has lived in Surrey since 1935. Pat moved here in 1940. They went to high school in Cloverdale. Where did they meet? “Should I tell her about you whistling at me?” Emerson joked. “I didn’t whistle at you,” Pat replied. They’ve been married for 63 years, raising two girls and two boys. They have grandchildren and a great grandchild in cadets.

In 1942, Japanese forces invaded Kiska, taking 10 prisoners. When 34,400 U.S. and Canadian forces landed in August 1943, the were expecting to meet resistance, but soon discovered the island had been abandoned. The photos show a snow-capped volcano, sod-protected canvass army tents, and men getting haircuts on the tundra and posing for the camera in deep shell craters. A Japanese postcard he found is preserved in the album, along with poems written by fellow servicemen. One’s called “Kiska: A Hell on Earth.” It reads in part: And what a hell this Kiska is, So misty, damp and drear.

Salty’s Fish and Chips has been synonymous with English style fish and chips in the Lower Mainland since the early 1970’s. While recent expansion has primarily taken place on Vancouver Island, with six locations including: Duncan, Langford, Esquimalt, View Royal, University Heights and Sidney by the sea. The family has recently opened its newest location back on the mainland where it all began; Cloverdale opened its doors in late August and has been welcomed back into the community with open arms. “Business has been great, it’s nice to see a lot of faces that remember my dad and some of the earlier locations,” says Richard Wass, son of the original founder of Saltys. “I remember going to the Port Coquitlam location as a young lad,” says Steve Gotham of Surrey, “we never missed a friday night - it’s better than ever!” Salty’s is still a family run business with the same qual-

ity fish and chips that they have been serving for the past 40 years. “Bring in the highest quality product that is available and then price it accordingly,” says Richard, “no shortcuts here. Our prices may be 50 cents more than other chippies, but we feel that at the end of the day the extra dollar that couple may have spent was well worth it.” With locations opening in Langley (mid December) and Fleetwood (January 2011), it’s obvious that they’re doing something right. Come on down and join them for some fish and chips and maybe some mushy peas, keeping in mind that Tuesdays are all you can eat days. You can find Richard in the Kitchen and his sister, Mandy out front most days, keeping the staff and customers in line with some good British cheek. Full menu can be seen at

BARN COLLAPSE

in brief

– Black Press

A barn south of Cloverdale collapsed last Friday, injuring a man who was then airlifted to hospital. The collapse took place at about 12:30 p.m. at a rural property with several large barns and a house with boarded up windows, located in the 1500-block of 194 Street.

BONES NOT HUMAN Bones were discovered in a heavily wooded area of Surrey’s Panorama Ridge Tuesday. Police cordoned off the area of Highway 10 and 126 Street – near a local school playground – with police tape. The area appears to be more of a vacant lot than a public par, with piles of garbage visible at several locations. Surrey RCMP Const. Peter Neily said investigators were at first unsure if they were human or animal. The bones were officially determined to be not human the following day.

‘The most we’ve ever seen’ Hundreds turn out for the annual costume parade – ‘a wonderful, safe event’ By Jennifer Lang The streets of downtown Cloverdale were overrun last Saturday afternoon with bandagewrapped mummies, Spideys and Batmen, angels and witches, dinosaurs and fairy princesses – all in search of candy by the loot bag full. Hundreds of costumed kids – and their parents and pets, too – turned out Oct. 30 for the 10th Annual Halloween Costume Parade, by all accounts as big a draw as ever. One of Cloverdale’s oldest businessmen, Alan Dann of Dann’s Electronics, figured at least 400 children had come by his shop, based on the amount of candy he gave out. “That’s the most we’ve seen,” Dann said. At one point, he sent coworker Gail Hendricks out for more supplies. “We don’t usually run out,” said Dann, who added he remembers trick-or-treating when he was a kid, using a pillow case as a loot bag. “If you measure success by the numbers of people, it’s really good!” he said of this year’s costume parade.

edition of the Cloverdale Reporter.

A total of 725 children registered in the event – the most ever. That’s not counting the kids who weren’t registered, Cloverdale Business Improvement Association Executive Director Paul Orazietti said. The parade is cosponsored by the Cloverdale District Chamber of Commerce. “It’s one of our most wonderful events,” he said, thanking people for bringing their children and feeling safe. Some great prizes were handed out, including martial arts lessons worth more than $400, he said. More local businesses joined the fun, with many of the staff dressing up in costumes, he added. “It’s really an amazing thing.”

The children meet at Surrey Museum Plaza first for activities and a group photo. Then they’re split into two groups. Half go trick-or-

treating to businesses at Clover Square Village mall across Highway 10 while the other half hits 176 and 177B Streets before returning to the plaza for prizes.

Dann figured some of the children were working both sides of the highway, doubling up their candy haul. “Kids are pretty smart,” he said.

Two men were attempting to salvage wood from the derelict building “for personal use’ when the collapse happened, said Bob Richardson, who escaped without injuries. “I was very very lucky,” he said, explaining how he’d “surfed” the collapse. “It was three or four seconds for it to come down.” His partner was conscious when he found him.

War and Remembrance 152 Canadian soldiers have given their lives fighting to maintain freedom and democracy in Afghanistan since 2002. While the numbers are relatively small, compared to the 60, 000 killed in World War I, this has nevertheless been a great sacrifice for the Canadian forces and especially so for the families directly involved. We mourn the loss of each one of these members of the armed forces, and pray their families will be comforted. Each family has given something that can never be replaced: the God-given gift of life. But why should we pause and remember? Canada has a history of involvement in two World Wars, as well as the Korean War and the Gulf War. And, in each case, the Canadian people have supported their troops as they fought in faraway places like France, Belgium, Holland, Italy, and Korea for the cause of freedom. Over 100,000 Canadians have given their lives for our freedoms. Sadly, most of them lie buried in Europe and Asia, and not seeing the large number of gravestones has caused us to forget the sacrifices made. Canadian historian Mark Zuehlke reports that Dutch school children lay a single daffodil on the grave of a Canadian soldier every year as an act of remembrance. What a great example for us. The freedoms we enjoy today are built on a foundation that, for the most part, lies buried in Europe. We must remember that present freedom is based on the struggle and pain of yesterday. Let’s remember to set aside the time to lay a single flower at the cenotaph. Wear a poppy and remember our fallen soldiers on November 11. Pray that God, the Author of Life, will grant comfort to those left behind. Pray that he will also maintain and preserve our peace. By Siebe DeJong This column is sponsored by the

Darkest days in racing history ‘A six-month break will undoubtedly result in the slaughter of perfectly healthy horses,’ a local insider warns To the editor: Re: “2011 race dates set”, Oct. 29, 2010 A 70 to 80-day race meet in 2011 [at Fraser Downs] on the outside may seem like a good thing but horses only race once a week. A three-day a week only serves the outside horses and horsemen. A six-month break will undoubtedly result in the slaughter of perfectly healthy animals owners will not be able to feed and take care of because of financial limitations. Greener Pastures, our racehorse retirement program, is already brimming to capacity and with such a long break, owners will have to make other arrangements to get rid of horses. It has been well known that Great Canadian wanted nothing to do with an over-

lap between the thoroughbred season and standardbreds. Our board negotiators were somewhat strong-armed into accepting the dates announced. It is hard to have any leverage during negotiations when our city’s mayor wants to turn our facility into a soccer pitch, and the Liberals are all cosy with very prominent thoroughbred owners who are also on the payroll as lobbyists of Great Canadian Gaming. Alternative venues are being looked at for some kind of gap filler for the Fraser Racing dates but at this point … the announcement of the 2011 racing schedule is one of the darkest days in racing history in the province of B.C. –Name withheld

By Jennifer Lang Singer Irene Reed may not have come out on top at the recent Senior Star competition, but she’s come home feeling like a winner nonetheless. On Oct. 18, she competed against nine other performers at the 2010 Senior Star Contest, a national talent contest. “Such a diverse group,” says Reed, 75, now back home in Cloverdale. She lost to an 86-year-old pianist who took first place (he was “terrific”, she says), a rock and roll guitarist in second and a Shirley Bassey-type singer who came in third. “I sang my heart out and Irene Reed at the Carlu in Toronto.

was very pleased with my performance,” she says. Although she didn’t win, she “did receive many compliments and a terrific ovation.” Contestants, gleaned from nearly 500 competitors at the regional level, performed with a full orchestra in front of a packed house at Toronto’s historic Carlu. “We were treated royally and everything was firstclass,” she says. At the reception, one of the celebrity judges, Gordie Tapp, told her, “’I gave you top marks.’ That made me feel good.”

THEY GOT PINNED On Monday, the Colour Party from Cloverdale Legion Branch 6 presented Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts and Council with poppies and a wreath to lay at the Cenotaph in Museum Square on behalf of the city and the legion. The branch pins poppies on city council each year, Sgt.-atArms Ed Bieker said.

SERVICES OF REMEMBRANCE Surrey Museum Plaza will be jammed with spectators paying their respects at Thursday’s Remembrance Day service at the Surrey Cenotaph. The annual gathering, hosted by Branch 6 of the Royal Canadian Legion, draws a sizable crowd. Last year’s was one of the largest in recent memory. This year’s services begin at 10:15 a.m., next to the archives at 17671 56A Ave. (You’re advised to get there early.) At 11 a.m., there will be two minutes of silence to remember those men and women who sacrificed their lives in military service. The services of remembrance are followed by the traditional laying of wreaths. Parade Sgt.-At-Arms Ed Bieker said local veterans will be joined by RCMP officers, emergency services personnel, Navy League Cadets and 746 Air Cadet Aldergrove Squadron, Fraser Heights Scout troop and local Girl Guides, and others in honouring fallen service men and women. The RCMP E Division Pipe Band and the United Church Choir will perform music selections as part of the service. There will also be flypasts by vintage aircraft in formation by the Fraser Blues and the Cenotaph Flyover team. The Fraser Blues, an aerobatics team based out of Langley, recently retired from airshows, but are continuing their Remembrance Day tradition of flypasts in the skies over services across the Lower Mainland Nov. 11. You’ll recognize Boundary Bay’s Cenotaph Flyover team by their loud, vintage Harvard aircraft. Local dignitaries will also be on hand. Bieker noted Staff Sgt. Steele of the Surrey RCMP’s Cloverdale/Port Kells District office will not be among them; she’s

attending Remembrance Day services in Port Kells. Following the service, the legion’s Colour Party leads the parade back to the branch for refreshments and entertainment.

CLOVERDALE LEGION BRANCH 6 On Sunday, Nov. 7, there’s a remembrance church service at Zion Lutheran Church, 5950 179 Street at 9 a.m. On Remembrance Day, the Cloverdale United Church choir will sing at 12:45 p.m., followed by The Versatiles at 3 p.m and Bob Marlowe playing from 6 to 10 a.m.

SURREY REMEMBERS On Nov. 11, the Surrey Museum and Archives presents for Surrey Remembers between 9:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. After the service next door, visitors are invited to enjoy refreshments, watch films, make peaceful crafts, and other activities. By donation.

SERIES HIGHLIGHTS SACRIFICES Anthony Cowling had just joined the RAF at 17 after lying about his age when he was captured by the Japanese. On Saturday, Nov. 6 at the Surrey Museum, the Richmond, B.C. author presents My Life with the Samurai, the story of his 44-month ordeal in a Japanese POW camp. Out of about 2,000 men, just 300 survived – one was Cowling, now a retired police officer. “All I had was a spoon and half a coconut shell,” he said. “I ended up weighing only 65 pounds.” He wrote his book to recount his expe- Warren Sommer riences as he beat the odds against starvation and brutality.

rey Museum and Archives during Remembrance Week to commemorate sacrifices by Canadians during the two world wars. Also on Saturday is In Flanders Fields: The Canadian Corps in France and Flanders, presented by Langley author Warren Sommer, from 1:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. ($6, pre-register). More than 700 men from Surrey and Langley enlisted at the outbreak of the First World War. Nearly one in 10 didn’t return. After the war Surrey built its first war memorial next to the then-municipal hall on what’s now Highway 10 in Cloverdale. His illustrated talk on the cemeteries, battlefields, and monuments of the Western front will focus on the Canadian Corp’s principal battles and the stories behind the names on the cenotaphs. On Nov. 14, the Surrey Archives presents The War Years in Surrey (at the Surrey Museum theatre 11 a.m. to noon; $10, pre-register at 604-502-6459.) Find out how Surrey contributed to Canada’s war efforts. Reference specialist Ryan Gallagher will also explore Surrey’s participation during the turbulent years from the 1910s to the 1940s.

By Jeff Nagel Surrey-Cloverdale MLA and health minister Kevin Falcon – considered a likely Liberal leadership contender – says Premier Gordon Campbell gave cabinet no warning of his decision to resign as party leader. “We were rocked,” Falcon told Black Press Wednesday after the premier’s announcement. Falcon would not say whether he will run for the leadership at a convention Campbell said should happen as soon as possible. “That’s not a discussion I’m prepared to have right now,” he said, adding he wants the focus to remain on Camp-

bell’s legacy. He said he would have to consult his family before considering any run for the top job – and the workload and public focus that comes with it. “I haven’t ruled anything out or in,” Falcon said. “Anyone who is seriously thinking about that job would never make that decision lightly.” He credited Campbell’s decision to remove himself as the “lightning rod of controversy” that the premier concluded was threatening the party and B.C.’s ability to move forward. “It was one of the most selfless acts of leadership I’ve had the privilege of witnessing,” Falcon said. As a result, he said, the HST now stands a better chance of surviving next September’s referendum, which Campbell had said would be binding on the government. “I believe it will make a difference. People will look at the merits or de-

Kevin Falcon

merits of the tax itself as opposed to whatever they may feel about Gordon Campbell.” Falcon said Campbell will rank among B.C.’s great premiers, up with W.A.C. Bennett and Bill Bennett. The announcement came a week after the premier held a televised address defending the HST and announcing a 15 per cent income tax cut on the first $72,000 earned. The future of either tax measure is clouded now that the premier who spearheaded them is stepping aside. There had been growing signs of discord

in the Liberal caucus, including open criticism from energy minister Bill Bennett about Campbell’s cabinet shuffle that created some confusion about oversight of B.C.’s resource industries. A Liberal leadership review had been slated for later this month and Campbell would have been aware of both the results of the vote by Liberal members earlier this fall and the latest polling results. Dave Hayer, the Liberal MLA for SurreyTynehead, said Campbell’s resignation is a terrible blow for British Columbia and the Liberal Party. “He’s an amazing premier, he has done so much for the province,” Hayer said. “No premier that I can remember has done so much for Surrey.” Hayer described Campbell as one of the most successful premiers in the history of the province. Moving forward, he would not say which

successor he would support. “Whoever is there, I will work with him or her, and we’ll see from there,” Hayer said. Stephanie Cadieux, the Liberal MLA for Surrey-Panorama Ridge and newly elevated to cabinet as minister of community, sport and cultural development, was not available for comment on the Campbell resignation. B.C. shouldn’t be looking for a switch in leadership within the NDP, according to Sue Hammell, NDP MLA for Surrey-Green Timbers. “(Carole) James has the confidence of the majority of her caucus and the majority of the party,” Hammell said. “She’s delivered a pretty straight up, straight forward leadership. She’s practical and caring – I think she’ll be fine.” Hammell doesn’t see the top spot changing at an NDP party convention slated for November, 2011. – Black Press

Watts: too soon to talk By Kevin Diakiw Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts, who many political pundits are saying is one of the B.C. Liberal’s best hopes for saving the party, said it’s far too early to consider whether she would run for the Liberal leadership. Premier Gordon Campbell resigned Wednesday afternoon, leaving many discussing his successor, with Watts leading a pack of about a half-a-dozen potential contenders, including Liberal MLAs Kevin Falcon, Rich Coleman, John Les, Mike de Jong, and George Abbott. In the past, Watts ruled out a run for the Liberals.

She did not take that same stance with Black Press on Wednesday. “I think right now it’s important to focus on the good things that have occurred in this province,” Watts said. “I think it’s really premature to have any discussion for anybody about leadership.” Asked if she would confirm her previous claim that she would not run for the leadership position, Watts declined. “I’m not going to say anything further on that. I think now is the time to look at the legacies we’ve seen in the city and in the province,” Watts said. – Black Press

FATAL COLLISION

or Surrey RCMP Traffic Services at 604-599-0502.

One person is dead following an early morning single vehicle collision last weekend. At 3:45 a.m. Surrey Fire responded to a report of a car crash on 64 Ave. at the corner of 176 St. A male passenger in a 2010 Camaro was killed while the male driver sustained serious injuries and a second male passenger suffrered life-threatening injuries. The survivors were rushed to hospital. Witnesses said the car was going at very high speed eastbound on 64 Ave. before it hit a utility pole. Thousands of people in the area were left without power. Police said speed and alcohol were believed to be contributing factors in the collision. Witnesses are asked to contact Cst. Croutch at 604-502-6069

Surrey RCMP broke up a large fight last Friday night at Hillcrest Park. Police were called to the park at 186 St. and 65 Ave. at around 11:30 p.m. A male suffering from head injuries was later taken to Royal Columbian Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Eyewitness reports said the man had been struck in the head with a crowbar or possibly a rock. They also said it appeared the altercation took place between a group of teens and some Halloween partygoers from across the street. RCMP are investigating.

The battles and the names

AT HILLCREST

Lecture looks at the contribution of local communities to the First World War Historian Warren Sommer presents an illustrated talk on the cemeteries, battlefields, and monuments of the First World War’s Western Front at the Surrey Museum Nov. 6, from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. He’ll focus on Canadian Corps’ principal battles, and the stories behind the names on the cenotaphs in both Surrey and Langley. There was a combined population of just over 7,000 in 1914 — and more than 700 men from the two communities went to war. Consumed by unprecedented feelings of patriotism and adventure, over 700 men would enlist from the two municipalities, equal to about half their adult male population at the

time. During the next four bloody years, many of these were wounded, maimed, or killed by unremitting shelling, horrendous machine gun fire, or the unimaginable effects of poisonous gas. Of those who enlisted, about one in 10 would never return, buried in the vast, devastated fields of France and Flanders. Among the dead, about one-third would never be found or identified, and be consigned to unknown graves. Of the 619,636 Canadians who served in uniform, 66,655 were killed in action or died of wounds or disease. The casualty rates for Surrey and Langley were similar to those experienced by the Canadian Corps as a whole. When the war finally

ended in November 1918, Canadian communities undertook myriad projects in honour of their fallen sons and husbands. Surrey erected its first war memorial adjacent to the then-municipal hall on what is now Highway 10 in Cloverdale. The Surrey Centre Cemetery is the final resting spots for local veterans of the First World War. The site was the focus of a re-dedication ceremony in May. About 60 graves in all have been refurbished and restored, including graves that were never marked and were nearly forgotten about. Langley built its memorials in the Fort Langley and Murrayville cemeteries. Overseas, the Imperial

Art, racing on track

Fraser Downs hosts juried art show next week By Jennifer Lang An important note for harness racing – and art – fans. There will be live racing at Fraser Downs on Nov. 11. Post time is 1:15 p.m. It’s the perfect excuse to check out the 2010 Fraser Downs Art Competition, Exhibition and Sale. This juried art show, presented by the Arts Council of Surrey and Fraser Downs Racetrack and Casino coincides with the best of the B.C. Breeders Classic weekend. Art competition winners will be announced Nov. 11 at approximately 12 p.m. First prize is $500, second prize is $200 and third prize is $100. There will also be two $100 youth prizes awarded, along with a peoples choice award. Art entries are images of harness racing with attention to harness racing protocol and detail. The theme of the competition and exhibition is horses – pacers in particular. Pacers are harness horses that move both their right legs forward in unison and then both left legs, giving them a piston-like movement. They wear “hopples” to ensure their legs move back and forth in unison. Visit the art show to see these works at Fraser Downs, 17755 60

Avenue. The exhibit is presented Nov. 5 to Nov. 15. For more informa-

tion, contact the Arts Council of Surrey at 604-585-2787.

Teams tried to come up with the most creatively-decorated bra. Results were set up at Marketplace IGA, where cupcakes, ribbons and pins were available in exchange for a donation – and a ballot to cast a vote for the best bra. The winning bra earned the team a pizza night out.

Grapes of Wrath, Fraser Valley style Drink it, or wear it. It’s your grape, British Columbia. Enjoy!

Adventures

According to Genesis, Noah planted the first vineyard. Persian folklore reports fermented grapes cured a woman’s evening headache, thereby crediting her with ‘discovering’ wine. But, we know it was Lucille Ball who put the fun in grape stomping. Armed with this wisdom, and faced with B.C.’s .05 breathalyzer barrier for drinking and driving, I set out to save the grape, and answer the age-old question. How many ways can you wear B.C. grapes? On Halloween Sunday Mike Raffan, proprietor of Township 7 Vineyards and Winery, field-tested a Fraser Valley La Vendemmia (grape harvest festival). It was his way of rolling out the barrel by inviting consumers to put their best foot forward, and develop a personal relationship with his industry. Despite autumn breezes and hovering rain clouds, adults and kids turned up in droves to cheerfully take turns squishing grapes with their bare feet. Three wooden barrels, footbaths, and towels took care of the basics. Costumed children anticipating an evening of trick-or-treating passed on the grape gig in favour of a face painter and hot dogs handled by the Make and Break Arts Foundation fundraising for community arts and education.

Whether it’s elaborate or simple, or even a work-in-progress, bring it on down to the Family History department at the Cloverdale Library. A laptop with internet connection, plus a projector, will be available for demonstrating online projects like family history websites or digital collections stored online.

Castle Sewing Q A

1. Jason

& Sherry Denexter have won themselves a Gift Basket courtesy of In The Company of Friends (approx. $100 value)

I need a sewing machine just for mending and such. What about buying a cheap machine from the big box stores? Purchasing a sewing machine from the big box stores is not a good Idea. Big box stores do not give you any aftersale support such as machine instruction or warranty. The machines that “they” sell are made to meet a price point and will not perform some everyday functions such as hemming jeans. The warranty for your machine is with the manufacturer so if there is a problem with your machine you will have to ship it to them at your own cost, diminishing your savings that you thought you had. At Castle’s we only sell the best quality sewing equipment on the market at competitive prices. We have onsite factory trained technicians to handle any problem that may arise. Also, we include free of charge, one on one instructions with the purchase of your machine. This is a free service that we offer you for as long as you own the machine! So, it doesn’t matter if you are just mending jeans or sewing a snugly quilt. Castle Sewing will exceed your sewing needs!

PRESIDENT FIRED TransLink has terminated the president and CEO of its Coast Mountain Bus Co. subsidiary in a move officials say is designed to chart a new course. Denis Clements leaves the top position at TransLink’s bus transit operation arm, which he held for nine years. He worked at Coast Mountain for 17 years. TransLink spokesman Ken Hardie would not say what precipitated Clements’ removal. “Most of the details are confidential,” he said. “Fundamentally, what we have is a change of direction and a change in leadership.” Doug Kelsey, who has now been named TransLink chief operating officer, will also serve as as president and general manager at Coast Mountain on an interim basis until a replacement for Clements is found.

Taste of the vines The 21st annual Fraser Valley Wine Tasting Festival takes over the Willowbrook Shopping Centre in Langley Nov. 6. What started out as a small event with just two tables and a few bottles of wine that raised a couple of hundred dollars has now grown into a massive fundraiser. The Rotary Club of Langley Central hosts the event, which raised nearly $60,000 last year. The event runs from 7 to 9:30 p.m. and features food and wines. More than 1,200 people are expected to come out this year to sample hors d’oeuvres and treats served up by local restaurants – and sip from a selection of more than 150 varieties of wine from all over the world. 36 merchants Wine Festival chair John Morgan says tickets sell out very quickly. Tickets are $50. They’re available from the Willowbrook Shopping Centre Customer Service Centre or online at the wine tasting festival’s website www.fvwf.ca. Over the past 21 years, the festival has raised close to $700,000 for local charities.

Q What is the current condition of the Real Estate Market?

We are currently in a typical fall market A which is not as active as our spring markets. Our July and August sales were slower this year due to the introduction of the HST. Gradually as buyers discover that this tax does not apply to resale homes and that most builders are including the tax in their list price, we will see sales bouncing back.

Compression Stockings

I have bad varicose veins. I stand on my job. My Mom lives on water pills to get rid of her swollen ankles. Is there anything we can do?

You guys should wear compression stockings. They have gradually increasing elasticity going up the calf and can help to return venous blood and excessive fluid to the circulatory system. The stocking has to be worn for at least 8 hours a day while you are in the upright position. The lower compression strengths do not require a prescription. Check with a certified compression stocking fitter or your physician.

Q A

Martial Arts

Cat Health

Mrs. Karen bennett 5th Degree Black Belt

DVM

What do you do about kids that want to quit? When parents inquire about a martial arts program we often hear the concern that their children have difficulty sticking with a program (softball, swimming, soccer etc.) and they are worried about committing to a program. As with most things, it is how we are taught to deal with the challenges and obstacles that we face in life that will determine what we do the next time we encounter difficulty. If a child is allowed to quit when they get bored or things get difficult then in the future when obstacles arise it will be much easier to quit again. Essentially if we allow them to quit, we are teaching them to be quitters. In Martial Arts the journey to Black Belt is hard (as is any goal worth achieving). Every class presents challenges that the student must overcome with the help of their instructors and peers. Just as with quitting, each time an obstacle is overcome the student learns that through persistence it is not 'am I going to continue' but 'what do I need to do to meet this challenge'. The lessons learned by conquering obstacles might be what it takes later in life to reach signicant goals such as graduating from high school or university or maybe getting that promotion at work. At Cloverdale Black Belt Academy the majority of students that enroll in their first class as a white belt, eventually reach the goal of Black Belt (an accomplishment that takes years to complete).

What is the best remedy for a cat that vomits hairballs?

Hairball vomiting in cats is often thought to be normal, but cats are designed to swallow a lot of fur without problems – and the hair itself is not what causes vomiting! Vomiting can signal inflammation in the digestive tract. As a consequence, the stomach and gut are too slow to empty, and hairballs are vomited instead of moving along. Inflammation is often due to food allergy or intolerance, the most common food allergens being fish, beef, wheat, and soy. For these cats, a high-protein and low-carbohydrate food prepared from poultry is often helpful, as are probiotics. But these diets may contain too much protein and the wrong minerals for a cat with ailing kidneys, so any vomiting cat should first be evaluated by a veterinarian. Hairball paste is flavoured petroleum jelly. It provides lubrication so the hairball slides along, but it does nothing to relieve gut inflammation. Liquid oils, mineral or vegetable, can cause cats to choke and inhale oil droplets with resulting pneumonia. Fish oil may be helpful because of its antiinflammatory properties, but many diets already contain the right balance of omega fatty acids. Hairball diets are prepared with fiber, which helps some cats, does nothing for others, and may even cause constipation in some - especially if the food is dry only. Moisture is much more important to cats than fiber, and canned diets are preferable to dry. Hacking without vomiting hairballs may be a sign of asthma in a cat.

With the current economy and labour market being so changeable and uncertain these days, what types of jobs will be in demand? Due to fluctuations in the economy and global events, our current labour market conditions here in BC and Canada are greatly affected. The best thing to do is to understand how industries shifts to determine labour market trends and to understand the concept of “transferable skills”. Most people do not understand that the industrial age is long gone and hiring someone for industry specific experiences and skills only is a practice of the past. To ensure your success in securing work you need to understand that the nature of work has changed. To learn more about our current labour market and transferable skills, come and attend our workshops.
