Russ Hiebert is no longer Canada’s top-two-spending Member of Parliament.

Th e South Surrey-White Rock-Clover-dale MP has cut his offi ce operating costs by $110,000 for the 2009-2010 fi scal year – nearly half of that travel costs.

Th e MP faced a storm of criticism in May, when it was disclosed he had the second high-est expenses for any MP in the country – the second highest in Canada.

Last week he announced he’s reduced spend-ing 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 ex-penses refl ected his commitment to keeping his young family together during the weeks Parliament is in session.

Now his family is staying in Ottawa for lon-ger periods, while he fl ies home to his constit-uents 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 fi scally 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 cross-country fl ights with his family members helped put Hiebert second only to a quad-raplegic MP with special expenses in terms of travel and operating costs.

JENNIFER LANG PHOTO Second World War veterans Patricia and Emerson Barden with their poppy trays outside a local grocery store. For more on Remembrance Day services in Cloverdale, turn to page 7.

By Jennifer LangIt doesn’t take long for Emerson Barden to

notice something is amiss on the lapel.“Where’s your poppy?” he demands with a

grin.It’s day one of the Royal Canadian Legion’s

Poppy Campaign, which runs to Remembrance Day. Emerson and his wife Patricia, both 86, are both selling poppies at PriceSmart Foods.

Th e Bardens are both veterans of the Second World War.

Patricia served in the Air Force, stationed in Ottawa. Emerson was in the army, heading northwest to the Aleutian Islands, and later to Europe.

It’s their fourth poppy campaign in a row since joining the Cloverdale Le-gion, Branch 6, which relies on a team of volunteers to get the job done.

Th ese two work in tan-dem, putting in four-hour shift s and displaying a good-natured rivalry as they stand on opposite sides of the store’s entrance, car-rying trays of poppies.

Joshua Gligoric, 32, purchased a poppy from Emerson as soon as he entered the store.

On his way over, he’d seen someone wearing a poppy, and thought with a bolt: “Oh – it’s that time of year.”

He was anxious to pin the symbolic red plas-tic poppy over his heart to show his admira-tion and gratitude for Canada’s servicemen and women.

“I usually end up having to get a few,” he said, shrugging and breaking into a grin.

“I lose them every two days or so. Oh, I al-

ways do! I always do!”Gligoric’s grandfather served in the Canadian

Air Force. Another relative was the fi rst Que-becer to die in the Korean War, and his paternalgrandfather was in the Serbian military duringthe Second World War.

Th at grandfather dealt with the Canadians alot, and that’s the reason that side of the familycame to Canada aft er the war.

“He always said the Canadian soldiers werethe ones he’d trust the lives of his men with themost. Th ey always talked about what a beautifulcountry it was. “

While health reasons prevent him from car-rying on a family military tradition, “You won’t see me without one of these pop-pies,” he said. “Our military is certainly under-rated and under-appreciated and I do my part when I can.”

Aft er he left , Emerson says soft ly, “I know the Canadians were well-liked.”

“I think we should all be proud,” adds Patricia, sec-onds before pinning a poppy onto the collar of a toddler.

Th e poppy is the symbol of RemembranceDay. Th e 14-day campaign raises money for thePoppy Fund, assisting veterans and their fami-lies. Th ey’re also used to provide bursaries forstudents pursuing secondary education.

Approximately 18 million poppies are dis-tributed each year in Canada.

Last year Cloverdale canvassers raised$50,000, despite diffi culty fi nding enough Pop-py campaign volunteers. A dwindling numberof veterans are able – or willing to volunteer.

Salty’s Fish and Chips has been synonymous with Eng-lish style fish and chips in the Lower Mainland since the early 1970’s. While recent expan-sion 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 o p e n e d i t s d o o r s i n l a t e August and has been welcomed back into the community with open arms. “Business has been great, it’s nice to see a lot of fac-es 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 Sur-rey, “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 avail-able and then price it accord-ingly,” says Richard, “no short-cuts 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 do-ing 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.

Th e average age of Second World War vet-erans is now 87 – one year older than the Bardens, who are in-evitably reminded about their service years when they sell poppies.

Emerson still keeps a photo album from those days. It’s fi lled with black and white images of smiling young men in smart army suits, proud-ly posing for photos.

Aft er army training in Victoria, Emerson was sent to northwest to Kiska, a windswept, volcanic island that’s just 600 miles from Japan.

In 1942, Japanese forc-es invaded Kiska, taking 10 prisoners.

When 34,400 U.S. and Canadian forces landed in August 1943, the were expecting to meet resis-tance, but soon discov-ered the island had been abandoned.

Th e 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.

Where nothing grows upon the soil

For there is no sun-shine here

Where the fog rolls up

the valleyAnd the clouds drape

over the hillWhere the rains come

down in torrentsAnd the wind is never

still.Th en it was onto Eu-

rope: Liverpool, Nor-mandy, Belgium andthe Netherlands, servingas an ambulance crewmember. He doesn’telaborate, but he wasglad to get home.

Patricia, meanwhile, jokes she “did what I wastold,” in Ottawa.

Emerson has lived inSurrey since 1935. Patmoved here in 1940.Th ey went to high schoolin Cloverdale.

Where did they meet?“Should I tell her

about you whistling atme?” Emerson joked.

“I didn’t whistle atyou,” Pat replied.

Th ey’ve been marriedfor 63 years, raising twogirls and two boys.

Th ey have grandchil-dren and a great grand-child in cadets.

War and Remembrance152 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.

BARN COLLAPSEA barn south of Cloverdale collapsed last Friday,

injuring a man who was then airlift ed to hospital.Th e 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.

Two men were attempting to salvage wood from the derelict building “for personal use’ when the collapse happened, said Bob Richardson, who es-caped without injuries.

“I was very very lucky,” he said, explaining how he’d “surfed” the collapse. “It was three or four sec-onds for it to come down.”

His partner was conscious when he found him.– Black Press

edition of the Cloverdale Reporter.

BONES NOT HUMANBones 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.

Th e 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 investiga-tors were at fi rst unsure if they were human or ani-mal. Th e bones were offi cially determined to be not human the following day.

News in brief

JENNIFER LANG PHOTOSA young giraffe ponders the enormity of it all. A total of 725 children registered, but organizers say many more participated in last weekend’s Halloween Costume Parade.

By Jennifer LangTh e streets of down-

town Cloverdale were overrun last Saturday af-ternoon with bandage-wrapped mummies, Spideys and Batmen, angels and witches, di-nosaurs and fairy prin-cesses – all in search of candy by the loot bag full.

Hundreds of cos-tumed 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, fi gured at least 400 children had come by his shop, based on the amount of candy he gave out.

“Th at’s the most we’ve seen,” Dann said.

At one point, he sent coworker Gail Hen-dricks out for more sup-plies.

“We don’t usually run out,” said Dann, who added he remembers trick-or-treating when he was a kid, using a pil-low case as a loot bag.

“If you measure suc-cess by the numbers of people, it’s really good!” he said of this year’s cos-tume parade.

Th e children meet at Surrey Museum Plaza fi rst for activities and a group photo. Th en 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 fi gured some of the children were work-ing both sides of the highway, doubling up their candy haul.

“Kids are pretty smart,” he said.

A total of 725 children registered in the event – the most ever.

Th at’s not counting the kids who weren’t registered, Cloverdale Business Improvement Association Executive Director Paul Orazietti said.

Th e parade is co-sponsored by the Clo-verdale District Cham-ber of Commerce.

“It’s one of our most wonderful events,” he said, thanking people for bringing their chil-dren and feeling safe.

Some great prizes were handed out, in-cluding martial arts les-sons worth more than $400, he said.

More local businesses joined the fun, with many of the staff dress-ing up in costumes, he added. “It’s really an amazing thing.”

To the editor:Re: “2011 race dates set”, Oct. 29, 2010A 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 fi nancial limitations.

Greener Pastures, our racehorse retire-ment program, is already brimming to capacity and with such a long break, owners will have to make other arrange-ments to get rid of horses.

It has been well known that Great Cana-dian 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 an-nounced.

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 promi-nent thoroughbred owners who are also on the payroll as lobbyists of Great Cana-dian Gaming.

Alternative venues are being looked at for some kind of gap fi ller for the Fraser Racing dates but at this point … the an-nouncement of the 2011 racing schedule is one of the darkest days in racing history in the province of B.C.

She sang her heart outBy Jennifer LangSinger Irene Reed may not

have come out on top at the re-cent 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 Con-test, 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 fi rst place (he was “terrifi c”, she says), a rock and roll guitarist in sec-ond and a Shirley Bassey-type singer who came in third.

“I sang my heart out and

was very pleased with my performance,” she says. Al-though she didn’t win, she “did receive many compli-ments and a terrifi c ova-tion.”

Contestants, gleaned from nearly 500 competi-tors at the regional level, performed with a full or-chestra in front of a packed house at Toronto’s historic Carlu.

“We were treated royally and everything was fi rst-class,” she says.

At the reception, one of the celebrity judges, Gordie Tapp, told her, “’I gave you top marks.’ Th at made me

feel good.”

Surrey’s MLAs react to Campbell’s big surprise

By Jeff NagelSurrey-Cloverdale

MLA and health minis-ter Kevin Falcon – con-sidered a likely Liberal leadership contender – says Premier Gordon Campbell gave cabinet no warning of his deci-sion to resign as party leader.

“We were rocked,” Falcon told Black Press Wednesday aft er the premier’s announce-ment.

Falcon would not say whether he will run for the leadership at a con-vention Campbell said should happen as soon as possible.

“Th at’s not a discus-sion I’m prepared to have right now,” he said, adding he wants the fo-cus to remain on Camp-

bell’s legacy.He said he would

have to consult his fam-ily before considering any run for the top job – and the workload and public focus that comes with it.

“I haven’t ruled any-thing out or in,” Falcon said. “Anyone who is se-riously thinking about that job would never make that decision lightly.”

He credited Camp-bell’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 selfl ess acts of leadership I’ve had the privilege of witnessing,” Falcon said.

As a result, he said, the HST now stands a bet-ter chance of surviving next September’s refer-endum, which Camp-bell had said would be binding on the govern-ment.

“I believe it will make a diff erence. People will look at the merits or de-

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.

Th e announcement came a week aft er the premier held a televised address defending the HST and announcing a 15 per cent income tax cut on the fi rst $72,000 earned.

Th e future of either tax measure is clouded now that the premier who spearheaded them is stepping aside.

Th ere had been grow-ing signs of discord

in the Liberal caucus, including open criti-cism from energy min-ister Bill Bennett about Campbell’s cabinet shuf-fl e that created some confusion about over-sight 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 Lib-eral MLA for Surrey-Tynehead, said Camp-bell’s resignation is a terrible blow for British Columbia and the Lib-eral Party.

“He’s an amazing pre-mier, he has done so much for the province,” Hayer said. “No premier that I can remember has done so much for Sur-rey.”

Hayer described Campbell as one of the most successful pre-miers in the history of the province.

Moving forward, he would not say which

successor he would sup-port.

“Whoever is there, Iwill work with him orher, and we’ll see fromthere,” Hayer said.

Stephanie Cadieux, the Liberal MLA forSurrey-Panorama Ridgeand newly elevated tocabinet as minister ofcommunity, sport andcultural development, was not available forcomment on the Camp-bell resignation.

B.C. shouldn’t belooking for a switch inleadership within theNDP, according to SueHammell, NDP MLAfor Surrey-Green Tim-bers.

“(Carole) James hasthe confi dence of themajority of her caucusand the majority of theparty,” Hammell said.“She’s delivered a prettystraight up, straight for-ward leadership. She’spractical and caring – Ithink she’ll be fi ne.”

Hammell doesn’t seethe top spot changing atan NDP party conven-tion slated for Novem-ber, 2011.

‘We were rocked,’ Kevin Falcon says. But no word on who’s going to be successor

By Kevin DiakiwSurrey 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 aft ernoon, leaving many discussing his suc-cessor, with Watts leading a pack of about a half-a-dozen potential contenders, including Liberal MLAs Kevin Falcon, Rich Cole-man, 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 pre-mature to have any discussion for anybody about leadership.”

Asked if she would confi rm her previous claim that she would not run for the leadership posi-tion, 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 prov-ince,” Watts said.

Art, racing on trackBy Jennifer LangAn important note

for harness racing – and art – fans.

Th ere will be live rac-ing 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 Com-petition, Exhibition and Sale.

Th is 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 week-end.

Art competition win-ners will be announced Nov. 11 at approximate-ly 12 p.m.

First prize is $500, second prize is $200 and third prize is $100. Th ere 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 rac-ing protocol and detail.

Th e theme of the competition and exhibi-tion 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. Th ey wear “hopples” to ensure their legs move back and forth in uni-son.

Visit the art show to see these works at Fraser Downs, 17755 60

Avenue. Th e exhibit is present-

ed Nov. 5 to Nov. 15. For more informa-

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

Fraser Downs hosts juried art show next week

Historian Warren Sommer presents an il-lustrated talk on the cemeteries, battlefi elds, and monuments of the First World War’s West-ern Front at the Surrey Museum Nov. 6, from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m.

He’ll focus on Cana-dian Corps’ principal battles, and the stories behind the names on the cenotaphs in both Sur-rey and Langley.

Th ere was a combined population of just over 7,000 in 1914 — and more than 700 men from the two communi-ties went to war.

Consumed by unprec-edented feelings of pa-triotism and adventure, over 700 men would enlist from the two mu-nicipalities, 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 un-remitting shelling, hor-rendous machine gun fi re, or the unimaginable eff ects of poisonous gas.

Of those who enlisted, about one in 10 would never return, buried in the vast, devastated fi elds of France and Flanders. Among the dead, about one-third would never be found or identifi ed, and be consigned to un-known graves.

Of the 619,636 Cana-dians who served in uni-form, 66,655 were killed in action or died of wounds or disease. Th e casualty rates for Surrey and Langley were simi-lar to those experienced by the Canadian Corps as a whole.

When the war fi nally

ended in November 1918, Canadian com-munities undertook myriad projects in hon-our of their fallen sons and husbands. Surrey erected its fi rst war me-morial adjacent to the then-municipal hall on what is now Highway 10 in Cloverdale.

Th e Surrey Centre Cemetery is the fi nal resting spots for lo-cal veterans of the First World War. Th e site was the focus of a re-dedica-tion 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 me-morials in the Fort Lan-gley and Murrayville cemeteries.

Overseas, the Imperial

(now Commonwealth) War Graves Commis-sion joined with the Ca-nadian government in creating cemeteries and

erecting monuments to commemorate the fallen. Pre-registration is required, call the museum at 604-592-6956.

Delivering a kick to cancerLadies, that’s a lot of

pink.As many as 850 Sur-

rey Breakers donned pink T-shirts during the Kick for Cancer week-end, hitting fi elds across the lower mainland with their message of hope.

Th e players ranged in ages from fi ve to 40. Fundraising eff orts

brought in approxi-mately $4,000 for the fi ght against breast can-cer during the Oct. 24-25 weekend.

Teams also competed against one another in a diff erent fi eld – the area of fashion design.

Teams tried to come up with the most cre-atively-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.

Th e winning bra earned the team a pizza night out.

According to Genesis, Noah planted the fi rst vineyard. Per-sian 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 Raff an, proprietor of Township 7 Vineyards and Winery, fi eld-test-ed 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 cheer-fully take turns squishing grapes with their bare feet.

Th ree wooden barrels, foot-baths, and towels took care of the basics.

Costumed children anticipat-ing an evening of trick-or-treat-ing passed on the grape gig in favour of a face painter and hot dogs handled by the Make and Break Arts Foundation fundrais-ing for community arts and edu-cation.

Tasters of new season vari-etals were available in the Tast-ing Room for a nominal fee, and the entire blend was wrapped up with music by the We Play for Wine combo.

“We wanted to show that there’s no need to travel to the Okana-gan for grape stomping and wine tasting,” explained Raff an.

Visitors from Mission to White Rock relaxing at picnic tables, and leisurely exploring the property, ap-peared to agree.

But – what about the new law?

Sipping, spitting, and sniffi ng (all ac-ceptable and encour-aged at tastings), wine education, and camaraderie dominated the Tasting Room. No threat here.

However, according to the vintner and former restaurateur, his dining establishment clients are suff ering.

“Between the recession, HST, and tougher laws everyone’s tak-en a hit over the past two years,” he says.

With the implementation of the new law he estimates dining and wine sectors were immedi-ately, directly, and negatively, af-fected by a fi ve per cent drop in sales.

Having survived GST fears, the HST concerns him less than the

driving restrictions. “I think the law is punishing

the wrong people – not those who are abusing the system,” he says.

“Tougher fi nes and penalties for impaired drivers are needed. I have not heard evidence that .05 to .08 is impaired and if so, then public education would be helpful.”

One can’t help but compare the relaxed pleasure of wandering around California’s wine country, with fears of penalties for

similar B.C. holidays. Driving (legally) away I con-

sidered other ways to support BC grapes without being collared by the cops.

I recalled feeling positively de-candent during a Beyond Rapture honey wine body wrap spa treat-ment last summer in Kelowna.

Th e surprisingly unsticky bast-ing followed an invigorating grape pip scrub. Well, honestly, what else can you do with grape pips?

My only (slight) stress was contemplating the (possible) waste of Chardonnay or Merlot coating my tightly toweled and saran-encased torso.

Comforting myself with the

thought that the entire cocoon reclining (guiltily) in the dimly lit salon was vintage, and absolutely worth a hundred and fi ft y bucks, I made a mental note to ask a tax accountant if this qualifi ed as a dining write-off .

It was, aft er all, work-related research, plus if I hadn’t just munched my way along Oka-nagan wine trails my ‘sauce’ was presumably edible.

By the time a grape-seed oil massage obliterated those dread-ed free radicals I couldn’t have cared less about extravagance, or the taxman.

Based on past, and current, vino experiences, I decided (last Sunday) that, whether drink-ing or dousing one’s self in wine, there’s more than one way to skin a grape and not get ticketed.

I’ll drink to that. Cheers!Ursula Maxwell-Lewis travels

extensively in the name of research. It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it.

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

URSULA MAXWELL-LEWIS PHOTOGrape stomper Aaron Cunningham of Cloverdale is watched by Ben and Nate Street. Now you don’t have to go to the Okanagan to stop grapes in the fall.

“We wanted to show there’s no need to travel

to the Okanagan for grape stomping...”

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 after-sale support such as machine instruction or warranty. The machines that “they” sell are made to meet a price pointand will not perform some everyday functions such ashemming jeans. The warranty for your machine is with themanufacturer so if there is a problem with your machine youwill have to ship it to them at your own cost, diminishingyour savings that you thought you had. At Castle’s weonly sell the best quality sewing equipment on the marketat 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 weoffer you for as long as you own the machine!

Q 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 any-thing 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.

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 (soft-ball, 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 over-come 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 promo-tion 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).

Cat Health

A

Q

Veronica Gventsadze DVM

What is the best remedy for a cat thatvomits 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 anti-inflammatory 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.

Q

Careerexploring& planning

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.

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

We are currently in a typical fall market 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.

For current market statistics in the Surrey area, check out the new “Current Market Watch” feature on our website www.katronisrealestate.com.

“We honour those who have given their lives in the service of freedom.”

Now in its 19th year, the Cloverdale Christmas Hamper Program (CCHP) has been providing local families in need with hampers of food, gifts and toys. Last year alone over 250 families and individuals experienced just that little bit of joy that they needed to get them through the holiday season.

This program is a combined effort between many local churches, schools, busi-nesses and public organizations. The program is growing each year and we would appreciate your involvement with donations of food, cash, new merchan-dise and/or toys. No donation is too big or too small – it all adds up.

Help Bring Joy This Christmas...
