Rail bypass resolves bottleneck

JENNIFER LANG PHOTOGary Branconnier, an equipment operator with PNR Railworks, drives a regulator along the new section of track in Clo-verdale, following closely behind a tamper, a machine that packs the ballast under railway tracks, as Ray Crowther and Allen Aubert from the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society drop by for a closer look at the project.

By Jennifer LangAlmost three months aft er work

began, a new section of railway through Cloverdale being built for the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society’s Interurban is nearly com-plete.

Th e 2,000-foot long section of dedicated track is a bypass that will allow the society to resume passenger opera-tions next year without fear of interruption due to freight movements.

Th e new track will join up with the existing line that runs to Sullivan Station at 152 Street and 64 Avenue, the round-trip stop for the society’s weekend passenger runs for the past two sum-mers.

Th e society’s heritage rail opera-tions on a restored BC Electric Rail-way car were unexpectedly sidelined about half of the time in 2014.

A backlog of grain from the prai-ries had to be moved through the grain handling facility at the east end

of the Cloverdale spur this summer, sidelining the fl edgling heritage rail-way about half of the time, making it impossible to keep to schedule.

Freight movements were also an unexpected confl ict in 2013, prompt-ing the society and its partners to seek an alternative: a bypass track that was approved this past July.

Work began Sept. 10 with RDM Enterprises perform-ing the fi rst phase of the job, and the second half expected to be completed by PNR Railworks late last week.

Along with rebuilding a new culvert and drain, the project involved clearing a 2,000-foot right-of-way, and then adding and packing fi ll

until the surface was smooth enough to lay down ties, tracks and ballast.

“Th is is the fi nal piece of getting the track to be absolutely perfect,” FVHRS secretary Allen Aubert said.

Boutique helps women of valueBy Jennifer LangA new second hand boutique in Clover-

dale opened Monday, welcoming its fi rst customers in from the cold to warm up with coff ee and treats – and to browse.

Inn for Women, located at 5760 176 Street, is a new venture launched by local retailer Yvonne Hogenes, owner of Mala-ry’s Fashion Network across the street, and two other business partners.

All proceeds from Inn for Women will go to support Servants Anonymous Soci-ety of Surrey, and other women’s causes, says Hogenes.

Th e store – staff ed by volunteers – spe-cializes in high quality clothing, jewelry and shoes that are donated, providing a source of revenue for SAS, a charity that relies solely on private donations, and oth-er charities, but it will also provide cloth-

ing to women who need it, as well as act as a venue for mentoring women.

Irene Jaakson, executive director of SAS, beamed as the clerk rung up a pair of tas-seled fuchsia suede boots and a matching print top in a kaleidoscope of colours.

“Women need to feel beautiful,” she said. “Th is is an accessible way to do it.” Th e boutique is a way for women to sup-port other women, who are also “full of value and beauty,” she added.

“It’s a real privilege to participate.”Th e Dec. 1 grand opening was just two

months aft er the idea was hatched, bring-ing the notion from conception to reality in record time.

“It’s truly social enterprise,” Hogenes said, adding she believes it’s as important for supporters to feel they’re contributing to something worthwhile as it is for the re-cipients to receive meaningful help.

SAS started in Cloverdale 16 years ago, operating a second hand shop called Twice But Nice.

SAS provides safe homes, education, ad-diction prevention programs and more, assisting exploited women and youth in Surrey.

Hogenes’ decision to open a storefront to help the organization followed a “pop up” boutique she organized at Surrey Coun. Barinder Rasode’s community hub in September.

“We raised $1,200 in two days,” Hogenes recalls. “So that’s when we looked at each other and said, ‘We need to get a store open.’”

Remarking on the fl ood of high qual-ity donations of designer and name brand clothing patrons were bringing through the door on opening day, she smiled.

“It was meant to be.”

“We’re going to be doing special events

next year.”

Eversafe Ranch calls for help in Christmas appeal

By Jennifer LangEversafe Ranch is ask-

ing for donations and support in its appeal for women and children this Christmas.

Th e registered charity was started by Alan and Judy Daser. Th e orga-nization helps families who are starting over by providing furniture and housewares at no charge, and runs the Eversafe Ranch Th rift Store in Cloverdale, a bustling second hand shop at 6541 176A Street.

On Dec. 20, Ever-safe Ranch is hosting a Christmas party for about 60 – approxi-mately 40 to 45 kids and their moms. Most are families who have fl ed domestic violence and are now making the transition out of the shelter system.

Activities include face painting, games for the

kids, fun and food. Each family will also receive a hamper to take home.

“It’s going to be a relaxed aft ernoon for them.” Santa will also be making an appearance.

Cash donations are needed along with un-wrapped Christmas gift s for children, and food items for hampers.

“And diapers – dia-pers are huge,” Judy Daser says.

“We have lots of moms with babies. Dia-pers are so expensive.” Th ere isn’t much time; the deadline for dona-tions is Dec. 12.

Supporters can also help by sponsoring a child or family. It works out to $50 per child. Eversafe Ranch buys pajamas for every child, plus a toy.

“I always get the chil-dren’s wish lists,” says Judy.

“A lot of people love

to go out and shop for them.”

She says it’s a wel-come touch appreciated by the kids. It’s just as rewarding to be on the giving side, she adds, because of “the looks on their faces, and they say, ‘Th is is just what I asked Santa for.’”

Eversafe Ranch Out-reach Society works with a number of or-ganizations, including Atira Women’s Resource Society, the Surrey As-sociation for Commu-nity Living, Metis Fam-ily Services, Work BC, and local churches.

Donations of cash, food, and toys may be dropped off at the store during opening hours.

To help, call Judith or Judy at 778-574-1998. Financial donations can also be made online via PayPal through the so-ciety’s website, www.eversaferanch.ca.

Donation deadline nears for charity that helps women and kids

A ‘blanket’ appealRetailer Urban Barn is holding its

t h i rd-annual Blanket the Country in Warmth Cam-paign. To Dec. 14, with every

$5 donation, a brand-new fl eece blan-ket will be donated to Surrey’s Gate-way Shelter, an emergency shelter that houses up to 22 men and eight wom-en. Locations include South Surrey,

#950 15045 32 Avenue, and Langley, Unit F2 20202 66 Avenue.

Last year’s campaign saw the dona-tion of 10,000 blankets, a number the company hopes to build on this year.

Opinions

Liquor changes could result in higher prices

VICTORIA – When the B.C. government announced its latest changes to liquor distri-bution, the reaction was not what I expected.

Private store representatives complained bit-terly that the government is allowing further expansion of fridges and “cold rooms” in se-lected government liquor stores, and longer operating hours that include more Sunday openings. Th ose hours, along with non-union staff , are the private stores’ big advantages as things stand in B.C.’s hybrid liquor retailing system.

Th e B.C. Government Employees’ Union didn’t seem at all perturbed that state-run stores’ key advantage was also going to be gone eff ective April 1. Th at would be preferential wholesale pricing, in which the government’s monopoly wholesaler sells to them at cost and to private stores at higher rates.

How much higher? Liquor Distribution Branch offi cials were carefully vague on that, and it varies depending on which of the 22 wholesale categories you look at. Th ey released a graph that suggests the average wholesale cost to government stores might be going up 10 to 15 per cent to create a “level playing fi eld” with private stores.

Th at wholesale price diff erence is the main reason private stores have generally higher re-

tail prices. And the majority of the province’s revenue of nearly $1 billion a year comes from this monopoly wholesale business, where the hidden tax is coyly termed a “mark-up.”

When the new, simplifi ed system comes in next spring, a bottle of hard liquor will have a “mark-up” of 124 per cent. Th at’s right, LDB more than doubles the price with its wholesale liquor tax. And if it’s premium booze, anything valued at more than $21 a litre will get an extra luxury tax on top of that.

Coolers and ciders will see a 73 per cent mark-up. Wines are taxed at 89 per cent, with extra luxury tax on premium wines. Beer gets a per-litre tax with ascending rates for small, medium and large breweries. Th en of course there is federal and provincial sales tax applied to all of it. Cheers!

Premier Christy Clark acknowledged that the fi rst guiding principle of this overhaul is to keep that government revenue coming. 

Th e new BCGEU president, Stephanie Smith, doesn’t sound like your bullhorn-toting socialist of yore. She insists she’s gung-ho to compete head to head with those private in-terlopers and get back some lost market share, particularly on the high-volume cold beer sales.

Th e union has another ace in the hole. Its

current contract stipulates that LDB can’t close stores. In some small towns there are govern-ment stores that lose money, particularly since they’ve had more private competition. But at least for the duration of this BCGEU con-tract, the government retail arm will continue to operate in some places as a perverse social program, subsidizing retail clerk jobs that pay nearly twice what private retail pays.

And let’s face it, running a till at a liquor store is not rocket surgery. Private and govern-ment store staff have to take the same training, and liquor inspector sting operations have in-creased vigilance on ID checks in all stores.

With higher wholesale prices applied to gov-ernment stores, this kind of artifi cial support will cost more. Th e only way LDB could main-tain it without subsidizing it from the whole-sale windfall would be to raise retail prices.

Th e LDB says this new simplifi ed system is “not intended to impact consumer pricing.” Note the careful choice of words.

Oh, one last thing. Th ere is another new tax in the works. It will be applied to higher-alco-hol beverages, in an eff ort to reduce adverse health eff ects.

ballast is a job that used to be done through backbreaking manual labour, requiring large crews of 20 to 30 men.

But today it’s a leaner operation, requiring a couple of machines. Th e fi rst is a tamper, a machine that lift s the tracks and packs ballast around the ties and rails. Lasers relaying information to the control cab enable the tamper to correct the alignment of the rails at the same time. A regulator follows closely behind, removing stray ballast.

Aubert said an inaugural run on the new bypass track won’t be taking place for

some time; track testing will get underway in December. But before that, a half dozen power poles must be moved fi rst.

Th e project is being done through assistance – funding, material and

labour – from the City of Surrey, Southern Railway of B.C., RDM

Enterprises and PNR Railworks.

With the bypass in place, the society is now looking forward to a busy 2015, when volunteers expect to welcome between 7,000 and 8,000 visitors to ride BCER 1225, hop on speeder carriage rides on the new track, take guided tours of the car barn and Cloverdale Station, along with spe-cial holiday program-ming.

“We’re going to be doing special events next year, such as Christmas trains,” Au-bert said.

Th e society has plans to restore one of its lat-est acquisitions, a hand-powered, three-wheeled track inspection vehicle called a velocipede.

It was found mould-ering away in a garden in White Rock, where it was used as an outdoor plant stand. It dates from around 1910 and is thought to have been used by CN in the Mt. Robson area.

A two-man hand car is also on the society’s wish list.

Meanwhile, another new speeder carriage was expected to arrive over the weekend.

By Jennifer LangStolen vehicles were recovered and thousands of

Surrey drivers received timely reminders to lock up their valuables season during the fi rst three weeks of a seasonal auto crime prevention campaign.

From Nov. 2 to 28, volunteers from the Surrey RCMP and the Surrey Crime Prevention Society were out in force auditing vehicles and leaving re-minders to drivers about leaving items in view in their vehicles.

Th ey audited more than 7,000 vehicles across the city, delivered more than 3,000 reminders to drivers and distributed steering wheel locks to those driving older vehicles that are oft en targeted for theft .

Th e volunteers also scanned more than 5,000 ve-hicles using a stolen vehicle recovery smart phone app, resulting in the recovery of nine stolen vehicles.

Th e Protect It. Lock It. Keep It campaign aims to make people more conscious about securing their vehicles to keep their possessions safe.

And it’s not yet over; throughout the holiday sea-son, Surrey RCMP offi cers will be checking on ar-eas with high concentrations of vehicles, including shopping malls and park and rides to ensure public

safety – and to monitor prolifi c auto crime off end-ers.

Long ago, an angel appeared to a group of shepherds near Bethlehem, in Judea.    He announced the birth of Jesus Christ, the Messiah to this terrifi ed group.  He was immediately joined by a host of angels who sang “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!” (Luke 2:14) The shepherds went to Bethlehem and found the baby Jesus lying in a manger, exactly as the angel had foretold.  For many centuries Christians have proclaimed and celebrated the birth of Jesus and the message of peace on earth.  But some have scoffed and rejected this message. How can you believe in peace when there is terrible warfare and brutality in Syria, Ukraine, and elsewhere?  Admittedly, there is a great deal of war, violence, and crime in the world.    But, let’s not misunderstand the message of the Gospel:  God’s gift of peace is readily available to anyone who believes in Jesus Christ.   In fact, Jesus was called the “Prince of Peace” in the book of Isaiah long before he was born.    The peace of forgiveness of sin is freely given to all who call on God and

ask to be forgiven in the Name of Jesus the Saviour.  Salvation and eternal life is promised to every person who believes.  This simple message has motivated millions of Christians to love God and their neighbours for 2000 years.   The giving of gifts at Christmas is just symbolic of the one priceless gift that the Lord gave through Jesus Christ.  Let’s avoid a mindless or shallow Christmas celebration.    Christians joyfully celebrate the peace of mind given by complete forgiveness.    Whether you are lonely, unhappy, or surrounded by family, we invite all and everyone to join us and learn more about the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the One and Only Saviour!

Two cuddly pals snuggle in a festive gift basket a lucky shopper will win tonight (Dec. 4) in Cloverdale at Ladies Night Out, from 5-7 at participating stores in the historic town centre. Look for fun, shopping and great deals, plus prizes: gift baskets featuring hundreds of dollars’ worth of merchandise and gift certifi cates donated by local merchants are up for grabs to those purchasing items at three or more participating stores. Presented by the Cloverdale BIA, the event kicks off a month of late night Thursday and Friday openings in December.

Flu clinics reinstatedFraser Health is reinstating

seven fl u vaccination clinics for seniors in various community centres aft er its decision to halt them this year triggered a back-lash.

More than 40 community cen-tres that hosted seniors fl u shot clinics last year were told earlier this fall they would not be run again as people have increasingly gone to pharmacists and doctors’ offi ces instead in recent years.

Health Minister Terry Lake ordered a review aft er the NDP made it an issue in the Legisla-ture last week.

Fraser Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma said public health nurses will run clinics aft er they were requested by the nine com-munity centres. Th ere will be

three in Burnaby (Bonsor, Ed-monds and Cameron), and oth-ers in South Surrey at Centennial Park, at Guildford in Surrey, at a friendship centre in Agassiz and a seniors centre in Mission.

Times and other details are to be posted at www.immunizebc.ca/clinics/fl u once they’re con-fi rmed.

Some other community cen-tres also organized on-site shots by pharmacists, but that option may have been seen by others as “playing favourites” with a par-ticular business, Juma said.

She said the main concern was that pharmacies and other loca-tions weren’t as accessible for se-niors as the community centres they routinely visit.

Th ere have also been com-

plaints of lack of privacy in su-permarket pharmacies and ad-ministration charges by some pharmacies –  which Juma said should not happen for seniors.

“If you are eligible for a free fl u vaccine shot there should be no cost whatsoever,” she said, adding those incidents should be report-ed to the public health unit or the B.C. College of Pharmacists.

“Seniors should not be pay-ing any type of fee to get their fl u shot.”

Th e shift in focus away from seniors centres was intended to let public health staff focus more on other groups, including peo-ple in homeless shelters and chil-dren under fi ve, who cannot be vaccinated by a pharmacist.

Q:

A:

What are the differentoptions available towhiten your teeth? The natural color of teeth falls within a range of light greyish-yellow shades. This can be affected by tobacco use, diet and age. There are 2 types of whitening options available: surface whiteners and bleaches. Surface whiteners are abrasives in toothpastes that remove superfi cial stains only. Bleaching products are peroxide-based and are actually capable of altering the colors of the tooth itself. This is especially important for patients with fi llings, root canal treatments, crowns and/or those who have extremely dark stains on their front teeth. There are 2 types of bleaching options: laser which involves the in-offi ce use of heat/light to activate the bleaching product, or custom made trays fi lled with bleach and worn for a certain amount of time. Not all tooth discolorations respond to tooth-bleaching treatments therefor a consult with a dentist is always recommended fi rst.

Q:

A:

Why am I so tired even when I get enough sleep?

There are many reasons for fatigue despite getting adequate sleep. Iron defi ciency, vitamin B12 defi ciency, and thyroid dysfunction are common culprits. If blood tests are normal, we must consider other potential causes. One of the most important causes of fatigue often does not show up on blood tests: Adrenal Fatigue.Our adrenal glands produce hormones to help us respond to stressful situations. In the short term, this is a good thing; it helps us cope and saves us from danger. In cases of chronic stress, however, this can eventually result in ‘burnout’. Supporting the adrenals with nutrition, herbs, and stress management is vital to optimize energy levels and sleep patterns.

Q:A:

Is fl uoride safe for me and my children?Yes, it is. Fluoride has many benefi ts including the ability to kill bacteria, help teeth resist cavities, and strengthen teeth from the effects of acids from foods and bacteria. The controversy of fl uoride arose with public water fl uoridation and concerns of overexposure. When over exposed to fl uoride the most common adverse effect is dental fl uorosis, which can alter the appearance of a child’s adult teeth when they come in. This is more common in rural areas where the content of the water is not properly regulated and with children who are swallowing too much of their toothpaste during brushing. The optimal water level is about 1.0-0.7mg per liter of water. At these levels it has been shown to help reduce the risk of cavities, especially in young children where the fl uoride incorporates into developing teeth making it more resistant to cavities. In Vancouver the local water is not fl uoridated so it is important to use toothpaste that contains fl uoride, but monitor your children carefully during brushing.

Q:A: As we think about cooler weather and

heating up winter sales, we tend to forget about our 2014 personal taxes. If you are considering using your Tax Free Savings Account for a purchase or investment, now is the time. That money can be added back to the TFSA starting January fi rst, along with the 2015 contribution of $5,500. To reduce taxes payable, consider a donation to your favourite charity. There is a 15% non-refundable credit on the fi rst $200 and 29% on the rest. Why not consider donating to the Cloverdale Christmas Hamper Program (604-574-4001 ext 107) to help those in need and reduce your tax bill? A win-win opportunity!

Some of the issues that respond particularly well to hypnosis are:

• Overcoming phobias• Stress Management• Sleeping Issues• Habit Removal• Anxiety• Weight issues• Improving Self Esteem

& Confi dence• and many many more....

YES! Hypnotherapy is a wonderful therapy for releasing stress, and providing you with tools you need in order to manage stressful situations. Prolonged stress causes many physical symptoms that can be relieved with as few as 1 or 2 hypnotherapy sessions (some clients require more sessions). The hypnotherapist will guide you into a deeply relaxed state (which your body desperately needs) and is able to work with your subconscious mind, changing how you react to situations that normally cause you stress. For the month of December, I am offering Hypnotherapy sessions for Stress Relief at 40% off my regular rate. Clients can purchase up to 2 sessions at the rate of $51 per session. A wonderful gift to give yourself.

Q:

A: Anything at all you do to improve the house and property that does not involve money gives you a 100% return. Clean everything. Gutters, front door, porch, under porch, garage doors, fence. Pay close attention to window sills. Fix everything that doesn’t work 100%. Clean until you can’t clean anymore and then paint and modernize with door handles, light fi xtures and inexpensive items that give the house a fresh look. Before you go beyond that with new carpets or fl ooring have a real estate professional give you some advice.  Don’t tackle large items until the small jobs are done.

Not all debt is created equal – and not all debt is bad. In fact, you need some debt to establish a good credit rating. Being a responsible borrower means knowing which types of debt can help you reach your fi nancial goals and which types leave you further behind.Good debt includes any investment or purchase that helps improve your overall fi nancial position. Mortgage loans are considered good debt because they offer low rates on property that appreciates in value over the long term. You also build equity as you pay down your mortgage. Borrowing to invest is also considered good debt. Often, the interest expense on money borrowed for investments is tax deductible. And when borrowing to maximize your RRSP, you’re investing in your future and benefi ting from tax sheltered investment growth.Bad debt involves purchases where the value becomes lower than the original cost, and which can carry a high rate of interest, making them harder to pay off. Types of bad debt include high-interest credit card debt, car loans, deferred purchases, and cash advances.If you’re unsure about your debt situation, call us to set up a meeting. We can take you through your fi nances and advise how you can use your home equity to trade bad debt for smart debt, and give you some fi nancial breathing room. The right refi nancing package can help put an end to the monthly squeeze of too much credit card debt or too many loans, and help you get back into your fi nancial comfort zone.

What is a good age to start training in Martial Arts?

Karen Bennett

Unit #2 - 17982 55th Avenue, 604-576-0320

www.cloverdalebba.comlike us on Facebook!

Almost any age! For preschool children a positive, fun learning environment balanced with structure and discipline balanced with structure and discipline builds confi dence, focus and concentration for success in the upcoming school years. The physical training aids development of coordination, strength, and fl exibility and provides an outlet for some of that excess energy.For older children the element of competition motivates them to reach their personal best. Each student achieves successes such as learning a new move, improving a technique, breaking a board or earning a new belt rank which helps build confi dence on their path toward goals. This confi dence provides success in other areas such as school or other sports. Adults fi nd that Martial Arts is excellent for fi tness, stress relief, confi dence and is lots of fun. They enjoy the social atmosphere that results from sharing the challenges and accomplishments with fellow students. At Cloverdale Black Belt Academy many adults join to share the positive experience with their children often attending tournaments together so that they can cheer each other on.

Yes! Krill oil has been found to be effective for reducing the pain associated with arthritis, but it is also benefi cial elsewhere in the body. The combination of krill oil and vitamin E in TOCO-X-KRILL™ can help with cholesterol issues, maintaining cardiovascular health (e.g., improving circulation), maintaining cognitive function (i.e., brain health), supporting healthy skin and hair growth, and even helping keep the liver healthy (in the case of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease).

HEALTHY PET FOODQ:

A:

The quality, clarity and quantity of water does make a difference in the health of our pets.

Tap water has been shown to contain bacteria which can be harmful to our pets, especially those with immune issues. It also contains fl uoride, which has been known to cause cancer (in humans and pets!).Bottled water is bad for the environment and could also be noth-ing more than tap water in plastic! The best bet is fi ltered water that is changed frequently. The longer water sits out, the less oxygenated it is and pets seem to know this! Cleaning your pets bowl is also important. Molds and bacteria from the air or water itself can cling to the bowl. Consider swap-ping out that porous plastic for glass or stainless bowl instead! Each animals water requirements are different. A raw fed dog or cat may rarely go to the water bowl because of the high moisture content of their meals. Pets fed dry food need much more water to help break down their food and rehydrate their bodies. 

Providing clear, clean, fi ltered water daily is a simple thing you can do to help your pet stay healthy...the little things do make a difference!

NDP demands MMBC auditTh e NDP Opposition called Wednesday for an

independent review of the reformed blue box re-cycling system now overseen by Multi-Material BC, arguing the stewardship agency is unaccount-able and creating chaos among existing recyclers.

Deputy environment critic Gary Holman point-ed to Syntal Products, a Saanich plastics recycling plant that shut down in September aft er MMBC partnered with other processors and left the com-pany with insuffi cient feedstock.

Holman said non-profi t recycling depots on the Gulf Islands are now facing closure and 25 layoff s because the funding they get from MMBC covers less than a third of the real operating costs.

MMBC launched in May to meet the provin-cial mandate that fi rms that distribute packaging waste and paper pay the costs of recycling it.

Th e industry stewardship group is now directly or indirectly in charge of curbside recycling in most of B.C. but continues to face strong local criticism.

Holman and NDP agriculture critic Lana Po-pham are calling for a review of MMBC by B.C.’s Auditor General.

“Th e B.C. government has botched its overhaul of the recycling sector,” said Popham, who has started an online petition.

She said agricultural operations and other businesses are being saddled with excessive fees to handle their packaging, while there’s insuffi -cient accountability over the $100 million a year MMBC will take from businesses.

Environment Minister Mary Polak said the system is a signifi cant shift because home owners now no longer pay the costs of recycling paper and packaging through their property taxes.

“It is a new program,” Polak told the Legisla-ture. “It will take time to make sure that things are functioning adequately for everyone across the province. But make no mistake. We believe that the people who produce the packaging should pay to get rid of it.”

A tough end to the season for PanthersBy Rick KupchukTh e high school football season came to

an end Friday for the Lord Tweedsmuir Pan-thers.

Th e Panthers lost a close 9-7 decision to the South Delta Sun Devils at Minoru Park in Richmond, and were eliminated from the Senior AAA provincial playoff s in the quar-

terfi nal round.“Th is was a tough loss as we played well

enough to win,” said Panthers head coach Kurt Th ornton. “Our kids played tough in tough conditions, but in the end we needed a big play or two on off ence that never seemed to happen.”

South Delta led 9-0 at half-time, and Lord Tweedsmuir responded with a seven-yard

touchdown from from Caleb Abraham in the third quarter.

Abraham fi nished with 121 yards rush-ing on 21 carries, while Colton Zayshley had 101 yards on 13 carries. Both players led the defence with seven tackles, with Abraham adding a quarterback sack and Zayshley in-tercepting one pass.

Th e Panthers went 5-2 (won-loss) in

league play, and opened the playoff s with a 35-20 win over the Belmont Bulldogs. Th ey were unable to play in the preseason due to a teachers strike.

“I am proud of the season our boys put to-gether,” Th ornton said. “It was tough for our Grade 12s to go out in such a close, winnable game.”

As snow falls, a newbie and veteran celebrate winsContributedI would like to start off by apol-

ogizing to the Lower Mainland population. In the last few weeks I have been complaining about the rain on Friday nights at Fraser Downs. Mother Nature said, “not this week (Nov. 28), I will give you snow.”

A blanket of snow started to accumulate as the evening went on but that did not deter the bettors as the wagering was the highest for an 11-race card this meet.

Veteran trainers Serge Masse, Keith Clark and Bill Davis must have had the right kind of snow-shoes on, as they all won two races from their stable.

Th e highlight of the evening for me was when one of the young-est trainers at Fraser Downs, Cherie Paskaruk, 23, and one of the oldest, Dan Ingram, 84, each won a race. Cherie is a young trainer with only one horse and a full-time job off the track. She

has overcome issues growing up, competed in the Fraser Downs Powder Puff race, paddocks horses for other trainers and always vol-unteers whenever asked by myself and others.

Driver John Chappell, Cherie and three-year-old fi lly, Cowgirl Poetry, are all about what makes Standardbred racing a great sport!

Th e temperature was very cold and the track was frozen but the horses went very fast on Sunday, Nov. 30. Alberta driver Brandon Campbell is used to cold weather racing and won three races.

Th ere is a new face winning the Open for the best horses at Fraser Downs the last couple of weeks, Beren Hanover. 

Owner Dal Reo Farms (Les Cridland) has been a major player in the past and paid top dollar for this well-bred four-year-old and is starting to see a nice return on his investment. 

Dal Reo Farms also purchased a yearling at the sale last week, I

get the impression Les doesn’t buy horses unless he thinks he has a chance to get a return on his in-

vestment.Racing resumes this Friday

Sampling a taste of WalesNORTH WALES: Despite the Conquest of Wales by Edward I (aka Edward Long-shanks) around 1277, Wales, I believe, only pretends to have been conquered – particularly North Wales.

Attempts to stamp out Welsh, a lan-guage with 6th Century roots, failed. In 2011 it was given offi cial language status in Britain. Children learn the language in school. Rob Lewis Jones, my VisitWales guide, speaks fl uent English, but his fi rst language is Welsh. He automatically greets locals in Welsh, as a courtesy, before slip-ping over to English.

With the typically musical undulations of the ancient language, tongue-twisters like, “Now we’re off to Llanfair pwllgwyn-gyllgo gery chwyrn drobwll llanty silio gogo-goch,” challenge me, but leave him unfazed.

Failure to emulate him when we stop at the above mentioned village railway sta-tion prompted me to video-capture the pronunciation for my YouTube site http://bit.ly/11SatlM. Th e town bears the longest place name in Britain, and one of the lon-gest in the world. 

Th e English translation is, “St. Mary’s Church in the hollow of the white hazel near the rapid whirlpool and the church of St. Tysilio with a red cave.”

Locals just opt for LlanfairPG. I’ll do the same.

Digesting the challenging lo-cal language is only part of our travel ‘menu’. Culinary Wales is to be key for the next 10 days. With that mind, I’m bound for Conwy Castle in North Wales.

It’s a favourite of mine for two reasons. 

Not only is Conway, my maiden name, the English ver-sion of Conwy allowing me a hint of kinship, but the well-preserved castle ruins off er a real sense of what King Ed-ward I’s world might have looked like.

True, the ancient walled town is very much a tourist attraction, but on this Oc-tober weekend it is literally teeming with

visitors and locals.Tents strung out along the waterfront

beginning near castle foundations shelter over 100 North Wales food merchants,

musicians, and artisans con-gregating to celebrate the an-nual Gwledd Conway Fest.

I start by sampling the cheeses I yearn for, or can’t aff ord, in Canada. Gorwydd Caerphilly, Smoked Cerwyn, Bodnant’s Cheshire, Stilton. Th e list goes on – and so do I. 

Stuff ed marinated vine leaves here. ‘Glam Lam’ there. Chick-Shish, assorted South American coff ees, fi sh and chips, cream scones and tea,

home baked breads, our cups runneth over.

Speaking of which, I spy a table of Inn Keeper’s Tipple. Can I resist this blue-berry whisky liqueur? No contest. For the

equivalent of $11 a stash fi nds its way into my backpack. Danzy Jones, another Welsh whisky liqueur, but this time with a hint of rose hips and herbs, tempts me. “It’s great as a hot toddy,” I’m told. Reluctantly I set-tle for a sample.

Wandering up the twisting, hilly streets I come across Kevin, a ‘knight falconer’ from Cymru Falconry Friends. Perched majestically on Kevin’s leather-protected wrist is Angel, an impressive European Eagle Owl.

Like Geraint, the Caernarfon Castle fal-coner I interviewed for YouTube, Kevin reminds me that centuries ago hunting birds (particularly falcons) were nature’s effi cient grocers. Instinctively, they were precise hunters. With training, they faith-fully delivered fresh meat daily to their masters.

In the 21st century, most of their work

URSULA MAXWELL-LEWIS PHOTOChef Catherine Metcalfe turns out to be a vivacious, entertaining, young advocate of Dickens-style forbidden mincemeat pies, cakes and puddings.

With Christmas on the horizon, baking is on the agendaFrom page 12

involves practical eco-friendly pest control, or – like today – preening for admiring audiences.

Tentatively stroking the majestic owl’s elegant plumage, Diesel, the Per-egrine Falcon with the feather-shaped hearts on his chest that I’d admired at Caernarfon.

His handler, Geraint, had described an abused rescued eagle, and falcons abandoned by wannabe Harry Pot-ters. Caring for these birds clearly takes love, patience and respect. Th e full video interview is online at http://bit.ly/1yaAjhD. 

Aft er a day of ‘grazing’ and gazing around Conwy, it is time to move on.

With Christmas on the horizon, an invitation to tackle some holiday bak-ing with Chef Catherine Metcalfe in her “Getting Ahead for Christmas” class at Caffi Florence, Loggerheads Country Park, in Mold, is on the agenda. 

I’ve made my share of family Christ-mas cakes – particularly the weighty dark old-fashioned ones well laced with brandy. 

Chef Catherine turns out to be a vi-vacious, entertaining, young advocate of Dickens-style forbidden mince-meat pies, cakes, and puddings. 

Surprisingly, her ‘mincemeat’ dried fruit and peel mix is, despite being steeped in brandy overnight, lighter (well, by degree!) than my Canadian purchased mix. Even the addition of dark treacle (available in specialty stores in Canada) doesn’t overwhelm the house specialty, Marianna’s Christmas Cake.

Her Christmas pudding is rather a revelation. Marinating the fruits over-night in stout is the key, instructs our chef. 

Effi ciently she pats the mixture into pudding bowls, but pauses for em-

phasis while pleating greaseproof pa-per over the sweet treats: “Even if you don’t like Christmas pudding, you have to have some. It’s a rule!” 

Grinning wickedly, she also re-minds the class that although the puddings are now sealed, periodically feeding’ the Christmas cake (and per-haps the cook) with brandy is still re-quired. Defi nitely a girl aft er my own heart!

I’m not a marzipan fan, I tell my in-structor. 

“Try this recipe without almond es-sence,” she advises. 

She is right. Much better. Here it is:

MARZIPAN One allergy alert: the recipe contains

raw egg.

INGREDIENTS225 g ground almonds100 g castor sugar100 g icing sugar1 tsp. lemon juice1 egg white, lightly beaten

METHOD: Sieve icing sugar. Add almonds and castor sugar. Add lemon juice and suffi cient egg to bind into a ball. Knead until smooth.

All Chef Catherine’s recipes are on-line at www.caffi fl orence.co.uk  Take a look at her Mincemeat recipe. It takes some time (what specialty baking doesn’t!), but I think it’s worth rec-ommending. It does call for suet, but it’s vegetable, and diff ers from the old style used in the past.

Th is is just a taste of my dine around Wales. Th ere’s to be a ‘second serving’ in the weeks to come. I hope you’ll join me. Th is is defi nitely a digestible sort of destination in body, mind and soul.

In the meantime, Lechy da i chai yn awr ac yn oesoedd. Good health to you now and forever.
