When an auto mechanic tellsyou he has a surprise foryou, it’s usually bad news.

But not this time.Newton senior Doris Seelig, 70, found

out recently that some businesses still liveup to their name, and that the folks atNewton Auto-Care really do care.

She’d called the garage last week afterher Chrsyler Concorde went on the blink,and they came to pick it up at her house.Sometime later, she got a call from theshop, telling her what had to be done andwhen she could pick the car up.

When she got to the garage, manager

Ken Payne presented her with a $600 billfor parts and labour.

“He said, ‘Well, I’ve got another sur-prise for you, and I said, ‘Oh my God,it’s going to cost even more now,’” sherecalled.

That’s when he put a white letter envel-ope in her hand, containing $1,000 incash. Mechanic Kelly Hunt had found itwhile he was working on Seelig’s Chrysler,and told his boss.

“I had to get at the fuel pump,” Huntexplained.

“In order to drop the fuel tank down,you gotta remove the back seat. Once Iremoved the back seat, that’s when I foundthe envelope.”

Seelig had been missing that cash sinceJuly. It was one month’s pension that she’d

saved to go on a trip to Oregon with herClover Loafers seniors group.

She thought somebody had stolen it outof her camper.

“It was terrible. I never thought that itwould come back, never,” she recalled.

So how did it get inside her car seat?Seelig figures she’d likely put the envel-

Closure in CloverdaleWith only a day to digest the shocking news, reporter Marisa Babic talks to shoppers and vendorsabout how the much-beloved antique mall’s closing will change the face of the community forever

SURREY – Cloverdale AntiqueMall’s catchy slogan is “thousands ofitems, millions of memories.”

But soon B.C.’s largest antiquemall itself will be nothing more thana memory.

Co-owner Tim Garrett says sky-rocketing rent is forcing him toclose the highly popular mall thathas been drawing customers locallyand from as far away as VancouverIsland and Washington state for adozen years.

On Friday afternoon, the mallwas busy with collectors strollingthrough its many booths hoping tospot a treasure and as well as casualbrowsers who drop by the mall fromtime to time just to enjoy a nostalgictrip down memory lane.

The word “sad” was on the lips ofmany visitors after they learned aboutthe mall’s fate.

“The word has gotten out,” Garretsaid, in noting the mass of peoplewandering the aisles.

In an interview with the Now,Garrett said the antique businessis still strong and has largely beenunscathed by the recession.

Garrett and his business partnerwere hoping for many more goodyears ahead but the rent rise has leftthose dreams in ruins. He’s been innegotiations over the rent hike withthe landlord since October, but theyhave failed to reach a satisfactoryagreement.

Garrett declined to identify thefigure publicly but said the rent riseis “significant.”

“Our business is strong and it’sbeen strong because we focus on get-ting the right inventory at the rightprices,” he said.

“Our financial situation is reason-able for what we are paying now butas soon as you add the extra dollarsit’s no longer reasonable.”

Garrett’s lease is officially up atthe end of February and there will bediscounts for shoppers.

The landlord may have alreadylined up a new tenant, he noted, atleast there’s plenty of interest forthe large space in Cloverdale SquareVillage.

With a slight note of disdain in hisvoice, Garrett mused that the newtenant might well be a giant retailerselling “products from China by thebucket-load.”

The mall’s closure will placeabout 10 employees out of work andthe 40 permanent vendors will haveto pack up their wares.

Mike Harrison is a staffer and avendor. He has a “guy’s type space”upstairs.

Harrison, who has been associ-ated with the mall for four years,said he’ll miss a job he loves dearlyand the joys of sourcing finds for hisbooth.

“I won’t be having the thrill of thehunt and getting a paycheque to doit,” he said.

Another vendor and her partnerwere busy wrapping up some of the

wares in their booth.“We’re sad to see it go,” she said.Ron, a customer who didn’t want

to give his last name, has been vis-iting the Cloverdale Antique Mallsince it was opened in 1999. A fewyears later, Bill Reid and his businesspartner sold the place to Garrett andhis business associate.

Ron, who was carrying a coupleof cast iron candleholders, paused totalk to Garrett and express his dis-may over the news.

“I’m absolutely sad,” he said.Ron was buying four rustic, cast-

iron candleholders to glam up hispatio and Garrett offered him a20 per cent discount off his pur-chase. The candleholders match aset of eight urns he had purchasedearlier. Though he’s a serious col-lector, Ron said sometimes he andhis wife just like to come for a strollin the antique mall.

“I’m going to miss this store andthe people,” he said wistfully.

In decades past, Cloverdale’s mainstreet was lined with antique stores.When the antique mall opened,some of the shopkeepers moved intothe mall.

Today, there are just a coupleof antique stores left on the mainstreet. Now with the closure of theCloverdale Antique Mall, the town’sidentity is in transformation.

“The identity of Cloverdale willhave changed,” Garrett said of thehistoric town famous for its antiquestores and the rodeo.

Local MPs take stab at Bloc’sproposal to ban Sikh kirpans

SURREY – LocalMembers of Parliamentthink the BlocQuebecois’ call to ban Sikh reli-gious knives from Canada’s House ofCommons is a pretty dull idea.

The separatist party suggested lastweek that Kirpans should not be allowedin the Parliament buildings in Ottawaafter security guards denied a representa-tive of the World Sikh Organization andthree other Sikhs entry into Quebec’snational assembly because they werewearing Kirpans.

The small ceremonial daggers arereligious symbols all baptized Sikhs arerequired to wear. They represent thepower truth has to cut through falsehood.

“Wearing the Kirpan represents oneof the fundamental commandments ofbaptized Sikhs, who must wear one at alltimes,” said Sukh Dhaliwal, Liberal MPfor Newton-North Delta.

“The ironic part of this whole debate isthe fact that the Kirpan is considered aninstrument of ‘ahimsa’ or non-violence.The principle of ahimsa is to actively pre-vent conflict.

“The Parti Quebecois and BlocQuebecois have little respect for thereligious freedoms guaranteed to allCanadians by the Charter, and what isworse is the manner in which they havepoliticized such an intrinsic right.

“I am also very disappointed,”Dhaliwal said, “by the lack of a responsethat has been offered on the issue by theConservative government. For a partythat has supposedly tried to reach out tominority communities across the country,their silence has demonstrated the calcu-lated politics behind such engagement.”

The Now sought comment from RussHiebert, Conservative MP for SouthSurrey-White Rock-Cloverdale, on theissue but he did not return our phonecalls.

See LETTERS, page 9

Dona Cadman, Conservative MP forSurrey North, had this to say: “If a manwas dressed in a kilt and had his knife inhis sock, we would not think anything ofit. Why is a Kirpan different?”

Her Conservative colleague NinaGrewal, MP for Fleetwood-Port Kells,said the Bloc is being hypocritical becauseits members joined MPs of other stripes inpassing a resolution the New Democratspresented in April 2006 to officially rec-ognize the five articles of Sikh faith, withthe Kirpan being one of them.

“They’re making a lot of huff-and-puffabout this thing,” Grewal said of theBloc. “I have always supported religiousfreedom.”

house fire in South Surrey Thursday even-ing.

The fire, which was called in shortlyafter 9 p.m., was in the 3000-block of184th Street. The house was an olderhome on an acreage, said John Caviglia,Surrey deputy fire chief.

When firefighters arrived, two occu-pants of the house, who had been in thebasement, said there might still be anotherperson inside upstairs. The fire was cen-tered in the upper part of the house,Caviglia said, and had burned through theroof in one corner.

“Fire services did everything they couldbut for one adult, it was unfortunately toolate,” Caviglia said.

That person was found dead inside thebuilding.

The deceased woman has been identi-fied as Kelly Marie Axelson, 48.

In spite of the fact the fire was wellestablished when crews arrived, they man-aged to put it out fairly quickly.

The two surviving occupants wereuninjured.

Surrey RCMP Cpl. Drew Grainger saidthe investigation into the fire is ongoing.

Surrey RCMP’s new spokesmanan award-winning police officer

SURREY – The newspokesman for theSurrey RCMP’s says itcan be “unnerving” to be surrounded bya small sea of camera guys and reporterswhen big crime news breaks in the city.

But Cpl. Drew Grainger can handle it– he’s been in some pretty wild situations.

A big fan of tele-vision shows likeSurvivor Man andMan Versus Wild,where the shows’hosts Les Stroud andBear Grylls demon-strate how to survivein deserts, woods andwhat-not, the veteranMountie likes to testhis own outdoorsman-ship when he gets achance.

“I’ll find areas to hike that are a chal-lenge which would cause me to rely onminimal resources,” Grainger explains.

He’s not quite as hard-core as the tele-vision survival experts, though.

“Like, I’m not eating spiders out of logsor stuff like that,” he says.

Grainger took over the post of spokes-man for the Surrey RCMP this monthafter his predecessor, Const. Peter Nealy,decided to return to general duty.

Grainger, 42, is a Surrey resident and

father of four children – two of themtwins.

Grainger has worn many hats duringhis 21 years with the force, both in Surreyand Richmond. He’s worked generalduty, been a member of the specializedEmergency Response Team, been on bikepatrol and used to be in charge of the footbeat in Whalley, where he logged count-less hours walking the city centre’s meanerstreets. As team leader he played a big rolein making it difficult for pushers to peddletheir drugs in the downtown core.

In 2009, Grainger won the SurreyBoard of Trade’s Police Officer of the YearAward, after being nominated by his peers.He’s also worked in South Surrey. In2007, he and his crew received an awardat the B.C. Crime Prevention Symposiumfor Project Blueline.

Created in an effort to curb liquor anddrug offences, theft and vandalism along152nd Street by “positively connect-ing with local young people, particularlyon Friday and Saturday nights, ProjectBlueline enjoyed so much success theprovincial government took notice.

“I love Surrey,” Grainger says. “I am soproud of the work we have here and thework that gets done here, and I’m proudto be the face of the detachment to talkabout, or to convey our message, aboutthe work that we’re doing.”

Point

As our twomain politicalparties con-tinue to movetowards electingnew leaders,it’s worth not-ing that eachof them faceremarkablysimilar options when it comes topicking a new face.

For example, either party canopt to walk along a more rigidideological path. Kevin Falconrepresents the most right-wingoption for the B.C. Liberals, whilethe NDP’s Adrian Dix is a mirrorimage of him, albeit on the left-wing side of the spectrum.

And both parties are fieldingcandidates that appear to havea more populist streak to them.Christy Clark of the B.C. Liberalsand John Horgan from the NDPseem to fit this bill.

Finally, both parties are field-ing strong, centrist candidates: theNDP’s Mike Farnworth and theB.C. Liberals’ George Abbott andMike de Jong are probably closerto each other when it comes topolicies than they are with someof their own rivals in their ownparties.

And each party is eyeing theother one, wondering what kindof scenario will develop after theymake their choices.

Judging from what many peopleare saying in both parties, I sus-pect each party is hoping the otherone opts for the most ideologicalcandidate.

The B.C. Liberals seem to rel-ish the prospect of running againstDix, whose close association withthe class warfare tactics of the for-mer Glen Clark government giveshis opponents lots of ammunitionto fire back at him.

Likewise, New Democratswould love to square off againstFalcon, who they consider to betoo right-wing for many middle-of-the-road voters who may considervoting for either party.

Of course, any problems thegeneral public may have witheither candidate don’t necessar-ily cut much ice with the partymembers who will be choosing theleaders.

In fact, Dix may hold an advan-tage over his rivals preciselybecause he is the most left-wingcandidate, given that a majorchunk of the party membershiplikely shares his philosophicalviews.

Both parties seem to be less sureabout the so-called populist candi-dates. Some New Democrats thinkClark would be an inviting target,while others I talk to are nervousabout her charisma and communi-cations skills.

Horgan is the candidate whomay puzzle the B.C. Liberals themost, at least for now. He’s rela-tively unknown and doesn’t have alot of baggage from the past.

But it is the middle-of-the-roadcandidates who seem to have bothsides equally nervous.

Farnworth, Abbott and, to alesser degree, de Jong, are thetypes of leaders who can poachvoters from other parties.

Not everyone who votes for theB.C. Liberals consider themselvesright-wing, just as not all NDP vot-

ers think they are leftists.As such, Farnworth could

appeal to a lot of soft B.C. Liberalswho may be tired of their party butwho don’t want to embrace a jar-ringly different kind of philosophy.

Abbott is the same kind of can-didate. He could easily appeal tosoft NDP voters who are uneasyabout the New Democrats’ reputa-tion on economic issues.

Since the B.C. Liberals choosetheir leader first, it will be inter-esting to see if that choice hasa direct bearing on the views ofNDP members. Will it providethem with a guide to the betterchoice, or will it simply confusethings even further?

For example, if Clark wins,NDPers have to ask themselveswhich of their candidates wouldfare best against her. Would Dixor, say, Farnworth stand the bestchance?

Or if Abbott wins, is the NDPbetter off to go with an ideo-logue (Dix) or a moderate likeFarnworth? Imagine a Falcon vic-tory coupled with a Dix win: thatwould create a lively but polarizingchoice for voters – right versus left,with no prisoners being taken.

Of course, many NDP memberswon’t take any of this into con-

sideration when they mark theirballots. Winning elections is notthe motivation for many of them– ensuring the party rigidly sticksto an ideological path is moreimportant.

Nevertheless, the potentialmatch-ups are intriguing. Will it bean ideologue versus a moderate, ora populist versus an ideologue, ora moderate versus a populist?

Both parties face the same arrayof choices. Whatever the outcome,it’s going to be fascinating towatch.

We need a better way to assess our schoolsThe Editor,

Re: “Principals in Surrey mumon FSA tests,” the Now, Jan. 21.

It is heartening, though entirelyunsurprising, to read the call fromthe B.C. principals’ association toscrap the FSA tests for grades 4-7.

In their original form, the testshad some utility, but it’s high timethe ministry produced a better wayto assess elementary schools – onethat does not result in inaccuraterankings.

Delta schools do well on thetests, but if parents want to knowhow suitable a neighbourhoodschool may be for their child, theywould do far better to talk to otherparents, phone the principal andvisit the school.

Real estate companies may wantnumbers, but then they have novested interest in the actual valid-ity of those numbers.

Teachers and parents resistthe tests mostly because theyknow that false impressions aboutschools, whether positive or nega-tive, are being circulated by themedia based on FSA results.

Recent initiatives from theministry about “learning for the

21st century” and “personalizedlearning” have been well receivedin Delta, but could quickly besuffocated in an atmosphere ofstandardized testing and rankingof schools.

As far as possible, schools inDelta treat students as individualsand try to provide the very best foreach student, no matter who theyare or what background they comefrom.

One can only hope that candi-dates for leadership of the partieswill approach the issue with anopen mind instead of the slavishdogmatism we have seen in thepast.

Let’s work together and find abetter way to do things. If we wantthe best from the professionals inour society why would we be soresistant to heeding their advice?

All Canadians should decryban of kirpans in QuebecThe Editor,

Our society wishes to expressconcern that Quebec’s NationalAssembly would, in this day andage, still think it necessary orsensible to ban Sikhs entering theNational Assembly building wear-ing their kirpans.

The finest security agencies inthe world found the carrying ofa kirpan to be acceptable duringthe intense security blanket oflast year’s Olympic Games. Ournation’s Supreme Court ruled in2006 that it was not a weaponand that barring it is a violation ofCharter rights.

We urge Quebec’s NationalAssembly to reconsider its deci-sion, and all citizens of Canada todecry this violation of our funda-mental rights and freedoms.

Editorial cartoon in ‘Now’called Harper’s numberThe Editor,

Re.: Editorial cartoon, the Now,Jan. 21.

Thanks to Ingrid Rice forher editorial cartoon showingStephen Harper getting away with

a false start.In December, Harper categoric-

ally denied his party would be call-ing an election any time soon.

Technically true to his word, theConservatives instead will be pre-cipitating an election by introdu-cing a “poison pill” in the Februarybudget when they will propose todiscontinue the per-vote fundingof political parties. This will likelygoad the other parties into a non-confidence vote.

Per-vote funding started in 2003as an alternative to party financingby big business and trade unions,i.e., to level the playing field.

The $2 per vote adds up toa small portion of the federalbudget, it goes to the voter’s partyof choice, and it encourages moreCanadians to vote. Ending it willtake us back to greater governmentcontrol by special interests andfurther away from a system that isfree, fair and democratic.

Something that actually doesneed to be changed is the exemp-tion for political ads, like the onesthe Conservatives started lastThursday, from the Canadian Codeof Advertising Standards’ “truth inadvertising” requirements.

I can think of few things moreharmful to a fair election thanattack ads full of untruths aboutpolitical opponents, yet there is nolaw against this.

I need hearing aids but have heard somenegative comments about them. Arethey worth trying?

Yes, hearing aids are definitely worth trying. Thenumerous benefits to your quality of life almostalways outweigh the few imperfections of hearingaids. Often, people with negative reactions haveolder hearing aids that use outdated technology,or they may be among a small minority of peoplewhose hearing loss is less treatable with hearingaids. Also remember that it is human nature tofocus on what is not working well, even thoughthese same people may be appreciating manyadvantages from their hearing aids.

The fact is that overall satisfaction with hearingaids has significantly improved over the years astechnology has advanced, and the vast majorityof people are quietly enjoying the new life experi-ences hearing aids bring.

I get pain frequently. Headaches, jointstiffness, numbness what can I do?Most pain or myofascial pain is related to trigger pointsin the muscles. Trigger points, or small contractionsknots in the muscle, result in pain and will lead tosymptoms such as headaches, neck and jaw pain,back pain, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel, fibromyalgia,tendonitis, bursitis, arthritis and other myofascialpain conditions. By releasing trigger points in thebody, muscles become strong and relaxed, circulationis restored and the tissue is once again flooded withoxygen and nutrients.

Does eliminating fats in my diet help to lose weight?No!! Fats are hugely important to our diet.Your brain’s fuelis made up of fats. Unlike your body whose fuel is basedin sugars, the brain’s fuel is fat. A variety of fats are hugelyimportants to a variety of neural functions, ie., from nervetransmission to cell membrane integrity, etc.In addition, fats provide the basis for the liver to make over80% of your needed cholesterols. Monounsaturated fatsincrease the good cholesterols and lower the bad cholesterols.From the cholesterol your liver also makes your bile which isimportant to break down fats in the small intestine. From thisline up the liver also makes your steroid hormones.Various fats are also used as transport systems for vitamins andminerals from the gut to into the body and then throughoutthe body. Good fats include monounsaturated fats (walnuts,almonds, pistachios, avocados, olive oil) and polyunsaturatedfats (salmon & other fish oils, krill, safflower and sunflower oils(these are your omega 3 fats). Other good sources are: coconutoil, hemp seed oil, flax seed oil, seeds, algae, leafy greens, areall very good fats for the body.BUT, if you eat bad fats, they will aid the creation of thoseextra pounds you want to get rid of. Trans fats and saturatedfats are not good for us and do put on weight: Fast foodfats, junk food fats, margarines, cookies, shortening, cakes,doughnuts, potato chips, etc.Have fun eating good fats and getting rid of your bad fat!!

What is a Cleanse?This is a popular question, especially at this timeof year with new year’s resolutions. A cleanse, alsoreferred to as a detox, is a supplement and dietaryintervention to assist with the body’s elimination ofwaste products (detoxificaiton). Most people think ofcleanse as something you do for a few weeks at a timeand perhaps a few times a year. This may temporarilyrelieve your symptoms of fatigue, bloating, constipa-tion, and headaches but these symptoms often returnafter the cleanse is completed.

The body usually does a pretty good job of detoxi-fication on a daily basis when optimal nutrition isavailable and when the body is not overwhelmed bydietary, environmental and emotional stressors.

If you are feeling toxic and experience fatigue, bowelissues or chronic pain, consider consulting a naturo-pathic physician to determine your nutritional needsand ways to reduce these stressors on your body.We can formulate a detox program, involving diet,nutrition and perhaps colon hydrotherapy, to get youfeeling good now and a maintenance plan towardsfeeling great for the long term.

Healing the Whole Family,Naturally.

Animals with antlers, birdsand tree branches are trendsin the home-decoration world,judging by entries in the B.C.’s Best Designercontest happening in South Surrey.

Six condos in the “Arc” building at MorganCrossing served as templates for six young design-ers involved in the challenge, with prizes of$2,000 cash and a trip to New York up for grabs.

The general public can win prizes, too, byvisiting the homes, picking a favourite suite andentering the “fan favourite” draw for a TV andiPad computer. A three-judge panel will select thegrand-prize winner.

By design, each of the finalists is under age30, each given budgets of between $10,000 and$12,000 to furnish and decorate a suite.

“We really wanted to give younger designersa chance to showcase their work,” said BryanWoolley, who organized the competition.

“They went to work in mid-December, and wedidn’t put a lot of conditions on what they coulddo — basically, just what they’d do for a client.”

Doors to the completed suites opened Jan. 16,with voting continuing until Feb. 20 at 15775Croydon Ave., next to Thrifty Foods.

The finalists include four Vancouver-baseddesigners (Britt McMaster, Daniel Meloche,Jennifer Scott and Penelope Sloan), one fromBurnaby (Joanna Kado) and another from

Richmond (Karen Wong).Similar themes emerged in the suites — but cer-

tainly not by design.“We noticed all the antlers, yes — it seems to

be a bit of a trend,” said Woolley. “I think five ofthe six (contestants) had antlers somewhere intheir suites, even on a bookshelf or somewhere.…The interesting thing is, they were reluctant toblog (during the design stage) because they didn’twant to give anything away, so they were prettysurprised by what the others came up with.”

In all of the completed suites, bathrooms arefairly standard, and kitchens are graced withappliances of the familiar stainless-steel variety.

But other living areas are distinctive. Scottused chain to hang a whimsical glass-bottom ceil-ing fixture with plastic gold fish, while Wong putemphasis on multiple images of Euro cities andother travel destinations, all framed by two bright-yellow strips of paint. Meloche’s cozy living areais graced by an arched silver light weighted by ahuge chunk of marble and tree trunks cut into acoffee table and matching sides.

The competition judges are Kari Henshaw,founder of Insight Design Group, Sarah Bancroft,editor of Vitamin Daily, and Matthew Budgeon, afilm and TV production designer.

Winners of the grand prize and “fan favourite”vote will be announced Feb. 28. Follow the contestonline at www.bestyoungdesigner.com.

As part two of a seriesof three columns on cut-ting, this one will focuson cutting boards.

(If you missed my pre-vious column on knives,please email me at [email protected] and I will bemore than happy to sendit to you. The next col-umn will focus on cutting techniques.)

Almost every household has some typeof cutting board to offer a place for chop-ping or slicing, in order to protect theirkitchen countertops. With so many cuttingboards to choose from, hopefully I can helpshed some light on this subject by discuss-ing the pros and cons of the three maintypes available: glass, plastic and wood.

One of my biggest pet peeves is a glasscutting board, and I take every opportun-ity to advise anyone I can of the reasons.Tempered glass cutting boards are madeto offer a surface that is easily sanitizedby hand or by putting them in the dish-washer, and offer a surface that will neverdeteriorate. However, because this cuttingsurface is so hard, it will dull even thebest kitchen knife faster than any othercutting board. They usually depict anattractive photo or print under the surfaceof the glass, which makes them desirableto have out and ready to use, but I wouldhighly recommend using them only as aserving platter and nothing else.

Plastic cutting boards, on the otherhand, offer a softer surface that won’tdamage knives and can still be placed in

the dishwasher for cleaning. The plasticsurface can also be subjected to sanitiz-ing cleansers, like bleach, without dam-aging the board itself. However, recentstudies have revealed that over time,bacteria can build up in the scores fromknives on the surface that even sanitiz-ing will not remove completely. Whendeep scores have been made in a cuttingboard, it is recommended to resurfacethe board. Plastic boards are very diffi-cult to resurface, and it is much easier topurchase a new one.

Wooden cutting boards have beensuspected of holding bacteria, and manyhouseholds have switched to plastic forthis very reason. But wood offers naturalantiseptic qualities. The wood also cannaturally re-seal small scores from cut-ting. A food-grade mineral oil should beused on a regular basis to help stop thewood from drying out and cracking.

I prefer to use plastic cutting boardsfor meat or seafood, as I can sanitizethem in the dishwasher — until they getwell used that is. Wooden cutting boardsoffer a cutting surface for all other appli-cations such as fruits, vegetables, etc. I donot own a glass cutting board.

As a natural cleanser, I often sprinklea cutting board liberally with salt and rubthe surface with the cut sides of a halvedlemon. The salt acts as an abrasive; thelemon offers a natural acid and also a freshclean scent.

Public InformationNoticeThe Ministry of Transportation & Infrastructure is starting a bridge wideningproject on Highway 99 northbound at the Serpentine River Bridge. Theseimprovements are part of the Shoulder Bus Lane Project currently underwayon Highway 99 that will increase transit capacity, reliability and efficiency forHighway 99.

This project will see the bridge widened to accommodate a 4 metreshoulder bus lane on the east side of the structure. During constructionthere will be a speed limit reduction along this corridor to 60 kilometresper hour on the approaches and exits of this structure. In addition, therewill be slight changes in the alignment of the highway in this area to allowfor construction activities. Once implemented, the speed limit reduction isanticipated to be in effect 24 hours a day until project completion.

This work is planned to begin mid January and should be completed byspring 2011.

When I wassevenyears old,

a harmless garter snake crossed mypath and put me into panic mode.Now, half a century later, I still getthe heebie-jeebies whenever I think ofone. So after hearing that a one-eyedeel (close enough to a snake) may belurking about in the nearby riverbed, Ifreeze in my tracks.

My husband and I are visiting Palau,an archipelago of 500-or-so lush islandsthat sprawl over the North Pacific. Andas well as checking out the amazingtreasures that thrive beneath the waves,we explore a few above the pristine sur-face — the Ngardmau Waterfall beingone of them.

As legend has it, the curtain of waterthat plummets 30 metres (100 feet) wascreated by this slimy creature. Afterfalling into an endless sleep, he magic-ally transformed into the river and hishead became the waterfall. Whetherfact or fiction, snake or eel, my skinbegins to crawl after listening to thismythical tidbit.

“Fear not,” Jayvan reassures with acheeky smile. “The only slithery thingyou’ll cross today is the path.”

We’d been prepped on what to bringon this hour-long trek that bisectsBabeldaob’s jungle: bug repellent,comfy shoes, bathing suit. How trickycould it be?

The walking sticks that our Palauanguide, Jayvan, doled out should havebeen my first clue.

Thank heavens for this trusty crutch.Like a third leg, it guides me down 375stairs that cleave through the tangledflora. It serves as my staff while navi-gating streams, protruding roots andmucky mud holes. It also acts as mysupporter when taking a breather,which happens regularly. But it’s not

my rapid respirations that stop me inmy tracks, it’s the sheer beauty.

Towering mahoganies, leafy papayasand feathery palms mesh with 1,200plant species in this undisturbedMicronesian rainforest. The flourishing

array serves as a canopy on my routeand cloaks the terrain, forever rolling.In the distance, spilling out of MotherNature’s plush overcoat, is our eventualdestination point, Palau’s largest water-fall. And from these peek-a-boo views,it looks more serene than serpent-like.

But after yesterday’s jungle boatcruise, there’s one thing we know:This tropical won-derland is hometo the living. Priorto launching offon this realityride, my husband’sT-shirt became apopular hangoutfor a friendly fruitbat. While diningon the sumptuousPalauan buffet, weshared our picnictable with a curi-ous, wide-eyed monkey. And whenplying the lush mangrove-flankedtributary, we were greeted by a jaw-gaping crocodile. Yes, he was hungry— but fortunately not for our photo-graphing fingers!

“No worries,” Jayvan says, taking meout of my dream state. “Aside from afew harmless snakes, Palau is people-friendly.” I make like his shadow, aftergiving this comment some seriousthought, and heed closely to his heels.

Accompanied by a cacophony of birdsong, we cross tracks that take us toboth the past and future. Railway ties,now choked by overgrowing flora, wereused by the Japanese during the SecondWorld War when they mined the areafor aluminum. Paralleling these rusty rel-ics is a new gleaming monorail that willsoon whisk non-hikers from the trail-head to the falls. And, by 2012, a zip-line will provide adventure seekers with

As we continue descend-ing into the jungle thickets,I pray that my legs don’t failme now. And after reachinga sign that says, “Waterfallthis way,” I realize my arms(and bathing suit) are goingto get in on the action, too.Waiting before us is a thigh-deep riverbed and flimsyguide wire strung up to the

I admit it: Ihaven’t had anypersonal timefor awhile. Theother day, I washaving a par-ticularly roughday and reallywanted sometime to myself.Unfortunately, I didn’t getthe opportunity, so, by bed-time, I was feeling a bit low.

My five-year old daugh-ter asked me if I wanted toplay a game before bed. Ismiled weakly as she led meto my bedroom and askedif I would stay there for fiveminutes.

I didn’t have the strengthto ask her what she wasgoing to do, so just noddedand sat down on the bedquietly and waited.

I could hear my daughterrustling around in her bed-room and some whisperingwith my husband.

To her word, five min-utes later, she came backinto my bedroom and tookme by the hand.

“Mommy, I’d like to takeyou to a very special place,”she said.

Upon entering her bed-room, she grandly gesturedaround the room and said,“Welcome to Bonjour Spa!”

My jaw dropped.The room was dark, lit

only in flame-less candles.There was soft jazz playingon a small stereo tucked inthe corner.

My son and hus-band were behindme, waiting to see myreaction.

“It was all heridea,” my husbandsaid with a smile.

After she shooedmy husband and sonout of the room, she

asked that I lie down on thebed. She then applied bodylotion to my hands, armsand feet.

“You need a break,

mommy,” she said ser-iously.

I could feel a lump in mythroat. I couldn’t believethat she wanted to do thisfor me.

As she rubbed my hands,I closed my eyes and lis-tened to the music. I couldfeel myself relaxing.

“You know,” my daugh-ter said matter-of-factly,“this spa is a very busy one.We have a long wait time.”She motioned over to the

Barbies and dolls laid outin a row beside the bed.“They have been waiting forhours.”

I suppressed a laugh andnodded seriously.

“Thank you for fitting mein,” I replied appreciatively.

After she was donerubbing in the lotion, shehanded me her princesscup.

“Please have somewater,” she said smiling.

I took some sips of water

from her princess cup andthanked her for the session.She leaned over, kissed mycheek and gave me a hugehug.

“How much do I oweyou?” I asked as I got upfrom the bed.

“Mommy, for you it’salways free,” she said gig-gling. As I kissed her headand tucked her into bed, Ifelt like the luckiest momin the world. It turns out itwasn’t the “me” time that I

needed that day, but rather,to feel appreciated.

The Bonjour Spa shouldexist in every mom’s home,to have whenever her daygets a bit harried. But beforewarned, the spots dofill up quickly. I’m bookingwell in advance.

The SurreyEagles movedinto sole pos-session of second place in theB.C. Hockey League’s CoastalConference with wins in two ofthree weekend games.

Surrey was trimmed 2-1 by theGrizzlies in Victoria Friday nightbefore bouncing back to double upthe Alberni Valley Bulldogs 4-2 inPort Alberni Saturday night. TheEagles then dispatched the LangleyChiefs 3-1 on home ice Sundayto overtake the Chiefs for secondplace in the standings.

“It was a good weekend for usand even in the game we lost, westill played very well,” said Eaglescoach Matt Erhart.

“Going back to our last fivegames, we’ve only allowed sixgoals in that time. So we’ve defi-nitely tightened things up defen-sively and at the same time we’reobviously getting good goaltend-ing.”

The high point of the week-end for the Eagles was renew-ing acquaintances with archrivalLangley Sunday. Surrey currently

has four games in hand on theChiefs and Sunday’s win allowedthe Eagles to pass their rivals intosecond place in the standingswithout expending that four-gamecushion.

Surrey got off to a quick start,outshooting Langley 16-10 in thefirst period and 32-21 over twoframes while building a 2-0 lead.The Eagles made it 3-0 midwaythrough the final frame before theChiefs spoiled Surrey goalie KarelSt-Laurent’s shutout bid with theirlone goal of the evening.

Brad McGowan led the Eagleswith a pair of goals while St-Laurent stopped 32 Langley shotsto earn second star honours. DaleHunt scored the other Surrey goal.

“We hadn’t played them inabout a month so it was almostrefreshing to play them again,”Erhart said. “It’s always a prettyintense game when we playthem and this was even moreso because both teams wantedsecond place. We managed toscore one goal in each period andplayed pretty solid defensively andthat was enough.”

Saturday night in Port Albernithe Eagles needed three power-play goals to subdue the Bulldogs4-2. A fast start once again workedin Surrey’s favour as the Eaglesout-shot the Bulldogs 22-11 in thefirst period, scoring twice.

Alberni Valley battled back totie the game in the second periodbefore Surrey pulled away for goodwith two more power-play markersover the final 21 minutes of regula-tion time.

Defenceman Mitch Jonesscored a pair of goals with theman advantage to pace theEagles’ attack. Hunt and RichardVanderhoek provided the Eagles’first period goals.

“The game was tied at one pointbut I thought we controlled theplay for at least 80 per cent of thetime,” Erhart said. “They scored ona four-minute power play to startthe second period and that seemedto give them some momentum butwe stuck with it. Our best playerswere our best players this weekendand we needed that.”

Surrey started the weekend inVictoria Friday night where the

Grizzlies used some puck luck topull out a win. Surrey led 1-0 afterthe first period on a Hayden Truppgoal set up by McGowan.

In the second period thebounces went Victoria’s way asthe Grizzlies tied the contest on ashot that deflected off two Surreydefenders. The Grizzlies then tookthe lead for good late in the middleframe on a goal the Eagles wouldlike to forget about.

“The game-winning goal wasone of those once-a-year ones thatyou can only shake your head at,”Erhart said. “The puck was behindthe net and two guys went for it.The puck bounced up in the airand then rolled down the goalie’sback and into the net. It wasn’teven a real shot but what can youdo?”

Surrey is back in action withanother three games this weekend.After playing a home-and-homeset with the Merritt Centennials(in Surrey Friday; in MerrittSaturday), the Eagles wrap up theweek at home against CowichanSunday. Game time Sunday is 4p.m. at South Surrey Arena.

Sharks kick off new season on IslandThe weather is

rainy and the fieldsare sodden so thatcan only mean one thing: it’s rugbyseason again!

The B.C. Rugby Union kicks offthe spring schedule next weekend(Jan. 29) with a new format forboth the first division and the eliteCanadian Direct Insurance premierleague.

South Surrey’s Bayside Sharksbegin the campaign as Surrey’s onlypremier entry but both the SurreyBeavers and Delta’s Brit Lions onthe first division will have a shot atjoining the premier ranks.

Under the new format, the CDIpremier league will start the seasonwith two six-team pools playing around-robin schedule. The top fourteams advance to next round ofpremier play with four more gamesagainst qualifiers from the otherpool. They will be joined by four

teams promoted from the first divi-sion based on their records in thefirst five weeks of play.

The Sharks kick off play thisweekend in the premier league andcoach David Benoit admits he’s cau-tiously optimistic, despite not beingable to play any preseason gamesdue to closed fields in Surrey.

Most of the veteran Sharks will beseeing action for the first time sincelast spring, owing to the club’s fallschedule being contested by a teamof younger players.

“We use the fall season as a devel-opmental tool,” Benoit said. “Wetreat it as an under-24 team so thoseguys can get a chance to play againstgood competition. That’s also theage bracket — from 20 to 24 — thatwe tend to lose as a club.

“We want to create a place wherethese guys make some friends, workhard together and hopefully stickaround to keep playing down the

road.”Bayside opens the schedule on

the road against Cowichan onVancouver Island. Benoit admits itwill be a stiff test given Cowichan’sreputation for gritty resistance ontheir home turf.

“Cowichan is a good, hard-work-ing team that plays old-fashionedhard-knocks rugby,” Benoit said. “Idid some checking and when theyplay at home, the average game isdecided by five to seven points butthey don’t do as well on the roadbecause they don’t seem to travelwell.

“They’re going to come out hardand I’m sure they’ve targeted thisgame thinking a win will help themreach the second round of the pre-mier league.”

Closer to home, the Beavers andthe Brit Lions will kick off firstdivision play against each other atSullivan Heights field Saturday.

Phil Reimer’sgolf reportIf Tiger Woods’ career is to onceagain dominate the headlines,it will be a Canadian who cantake the credit.

Sean Foley the Canadian golfcoach from Scarborough, Ont.,is now firmly in Tiger’s camp.We won’t have to wait long tosee if Tiger’s winter regime andtraining with Foley has paidoff. Both Tiger and Phil Mickelson will make theirPGA debut at the Farmers Insurance tournament atTorrey Pines this week. It’s a course that Tiger is quitecomfortable at, having won there in 2008.

Foley’s career really started during a CanadianOpen when he used the time to talk to many of thepros who were participating. That led to a teachingassignment at a junior event sponsored by StephenAmes and that led to him taking on Ames as a full-time client. Years from now when he writes his bio,especially if Tiger regains his form, he can give agreat deal of the credit to Stephen Ames.

The work with Ames led to a stable of pros underFoley’s tutelage. PGA luminaries such as HunterMahan, Justin Rose and Sean O’Hair are all students.You don’t have to tell Foley that the world iswatching, and if Tiger doesn’t return to form thepressure will be on to go back to his original coach,Butch Harmon. According to Foley, this is on the topof his bucket list professionally and he feels fortunateto be part of it.

Chip Shots

Two well-known pros who go about the business in aquiet, almost boring manner are the new captains ofthe next Ryder Cup Teams. Jose Marie Olazabal willlead Europe and Davis Love will lead the U.S.

Usually the captains bring in a couple of speakersto inspire the team. It will be interesting to see whothese two are inspired by. Don’t expect any fireworkswith these two.

The Orlando Golf Show is on this week and itwon’t be long before we find out what is new forthis year and next. Word is that most of the majormanufacturers have major announcements in theareas of drivers.

RBC, the sponsor of the Canadian Open, does a lotof business in the U.S. and by the announcementsover the past year they are attempting to corner ahuge portion of the golf market by signing up somewell-known pros. Carrying RBC sponsorship areJim Furyk, Ernie Els, Matt Kuchar along with MikeWeir, Stephen Ames, Fred Couples, Anthony Kim,Luke Donald and LPGA player Morgan Pressel. Howcan they lose? That’s like covering every number inroulette. Rumour has it there are more to come.

Nice to see that Greenacres started a Twittercampaign to attempt to get Tiger to play at theCanadian Open at Shaughnessy.

And finally – in case you have been missing JimThorpe on the Champions Tour — he’s back. Where’she been? Jail. Back taxes and not paying them willdo that to you in the States. His early release iscontingent on paying back $2 million. Better he dothat playing golf.

Have a great week.

EDUCATIONEDUCATION 20112011You have seven minutes to make an impressionYou have seven minutes to make an impressionEver wonder how much face time yourresume gets before a) it’s thrown in the trashor b) your name gets placed on a list for aninterview?Executives spend upwards of seven minutesper resume, on average, according to a surveyby temp agency OfficeTeam. That soundslike more time when you remember that the

average resume is two pages at most.The survey, conducted by an independentresearch firm, asked executives this question:“Approximately how much time, in minutes,do you spend screening each resume whenreviewing job applicants for an advertisedposition?”The average response from the 100 executivesincluded in the results was 7.25 minutes.

“Executives are paying extra attention toapplication materials to avoid costly hiringmistakes -- something no company canafford,” said Robert Hosking, executivedirector of OfficeTeam. “To improve theirchances of passing the initial screeningprocess, job seekers should craft resumes thatare accurate, clear and error-free.”OfficeTeam has some tips for catching a

hiring manager’sattention and keepingit for those all-importantseven minutes:• Be specific and conciseabout your achievementsand highlight them upfront.• Don’t send out genericresumes. Tailor the contentto each individual joband company. As muchas possible, repeat thewords used in the jobdescription -- manycompanies use softwarethat scans for keywords.• Ask someone else toreview your resume andsummarize its key points.If they can’t pick outthe most importantinformation in twominutes or less, someediting is required. Andmake sure it is sent outwithout spelling andgrammatical errors.• Simplicity is key. Avoidgraphics, complicatedlanguage or stylish fonts, allof which can be distractingand make your resumedifficult to read.

Thanks to Facebook (an outlet which was clearly made for you), your350 online friends know more about your life than some of your ‘real’friends: your baby’s milestones, your dog Sparky’s recurring rash and,let’s not forget your chronic basement leakage.But when it comes to advancing your career - particularly, finding yournext job - cute status updates don’t cut it. To get ahead professionally,you need a strategic, professional social media presence, says SherrieMadia, a social media expert and director of communications at theWharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.“It’s an interesting concept and an interesting time for job seekers,” saysMadia, who recently co-authored The Social Media Survival Guide.“There’s a lot of panic and nervousness out there, but there’s a lot ofgood feelings as well because we have more opportunity now than everbefore, truly.”Thanks to social media, job seekers can draw hiring managers to them,through profiles on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and, of course, goodold-fashioned personal websites.“Now, we can be focused on really planting the seeds in the rightplaces,” she says. “Ratherthan job candidates seekingemployers, (employers) canalso be seeking us.”In fact, it’s commonplacefor employers to checkout prospective employeesonline, so having a strongdigital presence isn’t justabout catching the eye of ahiring manager online - it’salso about ensuring thatyou’re representing yourselfwell in the event they’rechecking up on you.For that reason, the firststep to crafting a solidsocial media presence isresearching your currentdigital footprint, says Madia.Start by searching for yourname on one of the searchengines. For many job seekers,this exercise is “a little bit ofshock and awe,” she admits.“Often candidates are surprisedthat; a) they do have apresence and; b) what thatpresence consists of.”Not surprisingly, step twois deleting anything thatmight be the least bitunprofessional (perhapsrevealing Facebook photosyou’ve been tagged in) or apoor representation of whoyou are. Not everything canbe removed, but do whatyou can, says Madia.If you’re a person withoutan online presence, it’s timeto build one.Before you set yourselfup with a social mediaaccount, keep in mind thatyou need to start what youfinish. Recruiters will raisean eyebrow at incompleteprofiles.You also need to be consistentacross social media platforms,she notes. What you’veincluded in your LinkedInprofile should be very closeto your Facebook page orblog. You certainly don’twant inconsistencies thatcould raise red flags, Madiasays.It’s also important to use thesame photo consistently.“We’re a visual society,” shesays. Having the same imagehelps people recognize youquicker.

Facebook is a bit of a thorny platform, since it’s often used both forbusiness and pleasure. Whatever you choose, be consistent and realizethat there’s no such thing as privacy in cyberspace. Remember not torant and rave about your job searching woes, Madia stresses.Twitter can also be a useful tool, but be careful to avoid negative tweetsabout others. Using Twitter to post snarky comments will doing nothinggood for your professional reputation. “We all need to be cautious ofwhat we’re saying and Tweeting, and what the implications will be.Because it is a sticky space and it’s almost impossible to clean.”And, while you may not be hunting for a job now, you will be in thefuture. “Everyone’s a job seeker,” Madia says.Social media can also help demonstrate your tech skills to employers- which can be seen as an asset for many positions - and establish yourexpertise in a field, she notes. If you’re not con-fident in your writing skills, share links to usefulindustry-related articles.“You can be a content aggregator,” Madia says.

If you’re comfortable writing, start a blog and contribute to itconsistently, even if you don’t have too many people followingit. This demonstrates your knowledge and interest in your industry.And when it comes to professional blogging, it’s not about appealingto everyone, but drawing the attention of the right professionalcontacts.Of course, the job search is “a mental game,” says Madia, and socialmedia can simply help job seekers remain cool and collected.“When they’re active in that space, job seekers feel that muchmore in control. Every day I can do something to help my jobsearch.” Editorial provided by Postmedia
