Feds fund cranberry researchGrowers hope facility will improve productivity and competitiveness

CHRISTINE LYONR E P O R T E R

T he federal government has com-mitted more than $200,000 toward the construction of a Cranberry

Research Centre in South Delta to help growers maximize crop yields and find solutions to problems.

Delta-Richmond East MP Kerry-Lynne Findlay made the funding announcement Tuesday (Oct. 11) at Cranwest Farms on 72nd Street–near the site of the future facility—before an audience of industry representatives and local elected offi-cials.

“The cranberry industry is a signifi-cant contributor to our local economy,” Findlay said, noting B.C. growers produce approximately 80 million pounds of the little red berries each year, with over 90 per cent of those bound for international markets.

“This new research centre will serve as a cranberry test facility where current and new cranberry varieties can be evaluated using various growing mediums and alter-nate production techniques,” she said.

The government is making the $203,000 investment through Western Economic Diversification Canada, a government

department that works to strengthen western innovation, business develop-ment and community economic devel-opment.

Findlay said the research facility, wholly dedicated to the research and develop-ment of cranberries, will be the first of its kind in Canada and the fourth such centre in North America. She said it will create jobs and has the potential to increase crop yields.

The 2010 B.C. cranberry crop was 643,987 barrels, the lowest total yield in over 10 years and down over 200,000 bar-rels from the 2004 crop, according to a May 2011 newsletter of the BC Cranberry Mar-keting Commission.

That same newsletter announced the BC Cranberry Research Society had taken ownership of a 20-acre parcel of land in Delta and site preparation work had begun on the research farm. The land purchase was made possible by a grant from the marketing commission and a mortgage with the Farm Credit Corpora-tion.

The research farm’s objective is to strengthen the competitive position of B.C. cranberry growers. Researchers will work to determine factors limiting pro-ductivity by looking at weed and pest

control practices and by testing new varieties.

The newsletter added that, depending on funding, the research society hopes to have the Delta site cleared, leveled and dyked by the end of 2011.

Todd May, president of the research society and a fifth generation grower in Richmond, said the research centre will allow him to pass down to his children what was passed down to him.

“In the cranberry industry, we’ve faced some challenges in the last few years, and generally they revolve around decline in production,” he said. “But now we have certainly many, many, many of the tools that are necessary towards resolving those challenges and ensuring that the cran-berry industry is vibrant, not only for right now, but going forward.”

Longtime Delta farmer and chair of the BC Cranberry Marketing Commis-sion John Savage said the research farm could make a big difference once it’s up and running.

“What will eventually be in place hope-fully will improve the cranberry industry and get yields up to levels that everybody can be proud of, just through research,” he [email protected]

Delta voters will see a familiar set of names on the ballot in the Nov. 19 civic election.

The Delta Independent Voters Association (DIVA) team includes incumbent Mayor Lois Jackson, who declared her intentions to run in July, along with current councillors Rob-ert Campbell, Scott Ham-ilton and Ian Paton.

The DIVA website (vot-ediva.ca) says the mem-bers “have been provid-ing fiscally responsible leadership to the citizens of Delta and will contin-ue to work hard to make Delta a great place to live and raise a family.”

“Knowing where your tax dollars are going is important. In Delta, we have been focusing on paying down our debt like any fiscally prudent municipal government should.”

Jackson served on council for five terms before being elected mayor in 1999. She will run against Coun. Heath-er King, former longtime councillor Krista Engel-land and Tsawwassen resident John Meech, candidates who had announced their can-didacy for mayor as of Wednesday, Oct. 12.

Campbell, a lawyer and

longtime Beach Grove resident, was first elected to council in 1999. He is the current chair of the Parks and Recreation Commission and the Boundary Bay Airport Advisory Committee.

Hamilton, a North Delta resident first elect-ed to council in 2002, lives in North Delta with his wife and two daugh-ters and their guide dog in training. And Ladner resident Paton, elected in

the 2010 by-election, is a farmer and professional auctioneer by trade.

The slate of candidates is holding a telephone town hall meeting at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 19.

No one was injured when a semi truck and a train collided Oct. 7 in Tilbury, Delta Police have reported.

Delta Police respond-ed to the site at Hopcott and River Road around 7 p.m. and assisted the CN Police with a crash involving a BNSF train and a tractor trailer. There were no injuries or hazardous materials spilled as a result of the collision.

Delta Police contained the accident scene until the CN Police arrived to conduct further investi-gation.

Well known local runner and coach Malcolm Smillie has announced his candidacy for the Delta School Board. The Ladner resident who was the Delta Masters Athlete of the year in 2010 is now focused on the race for a seat on the school board in the upcoming municipal election on Nov. 19.

“Alongside the main issue of managing the school board resources in the face of declining enrollment I am eager to see what I can do to help with raising the quality of daily physical education for all students in the Delta School District,” said Smillie. “As a par-ent with two teenagers currently in the school sys-tem in Delta I have decided to try and see what can actively been done to ensure that the academic and sport opportunities for all students are not adversely impacted in both the short and long term.”

Smillie started out his working life teaching Eng-lish and phys-ed but is now working in the business world with the Vancouver Board of Trade.

“With my business background I am very familiar with dealing with budget planning and the associ-ated decision making process."

Longtime Tsawwassen resident Brad Sherwin has announced he will seek election as a Delta school trustee.

Sherwin, 46, a business and communication strat-egy consultant, said he has many years of experience developing and executing strategic plans, building and managing budgets and listening to people.

“I have seen many organizations succeed when they listen to their customers. The School Board is no different. I watched many good ideas pass by during the school closure process without consider-ation or discussion. There is energy and passion in our community, we have to be open to hearing and considering different opinions.”

Sherwin also has a different approach when it comes to the government’s funding of the school system.

“I don’t believe that simply asking for more money will achieve what we need to achieve in our schools. We have to build a case that not only outlines the reasons for additional funding, but also creates win-win scenario with the provincial government.”

J ake Eng had never heard the term “cold read” until he was asked to do it.

On a whim, the Tsawwassen resi-dent decided to audition for a play after seeing an ad for an open casting call. “I thought, ‘Aw heck, I’ve got noth-ing to lose’—so I went down.”

When his turn came to show off his acting chops, he was handed a script and asked to read from a page unre-

hearsed. With zero stage expe-rience, Eng didn’t have high hopes about receiving a call back.

“But she (the director) called me the next day a n d s h e s a i d , ‘You’re in.’”

At 73, Eng is the oldest cast member in the

Sidekick Players Club production of Twelve Angry Men, which opens Oct. 20 at the newly revamped Tsawwassen Arts Centre. He plays mild-mannered and easily swayed Juror No. 2.

Directed by Carroll Allan, the clas-sic play revolves around a 19-year-old man who has just stood trial for the fatal stabbing of his father. It looks like an open-and-shut case, until one of the jurors begins opening the others’ eyes to the facts. Tempers get short, arguments grow heated and the jurors become 12 angry men.

Eng retired early to care for his wife Norma, who passed away in 2007. He fills his spare time volunteering at the Tsawwassen Library and was inspired to discover his inner thespian by his son Rick, a Canadian Air Force cap-tain in Halifax who dabbles in amateur theatre and walk-on film roles.

“He (Rick) said, ‘Go and do some-thing, it’ll make you relax and feel more comfortable, you’ll forget about everything.”

Eng was apprehensive at first. Prior to this, his one “claim to fame” occurred years ago while he was a security guard on a movie set. The film director pulled him off the job and asked him to stand in the back-ground for one scene.

“Unfortunately I never made it to the final cut,” he laughs.

Now he’s getting a crash course in theatre and has picked up more than just the term “cold read.”

“I’m learning a lot of new words and new meanings and it’s surprising how little a person really knows about the-atre,” he says.

As a first-time actor, he’s getting some helpful tips from the director and more experienced cast members: how to “cheat” his body toward the audience, move with purpose, make his voice carry, and perfect his cue timing.

“If you hesitate, it throws the whole tone of the play off,” he says.

Eng is glad he took his son’s advice to give acting a try.

“I find it very refreshing. It’s some-thing I’ve never done before and it just opens new doors and I get to meet new people and different people.”

He’s already looking ahead to the new year when the Sidekick Players will stage three more productions.

“There might be something in there for me,” he says hopefully.

Twelve Angry Men runs from Oct. 20 to Nov. 5 with Thursday, Friday and Saturday evening performances. Curtain at 8 p.m.; box office opens at 7 p.m. Call 604-288-2415 to reserve seats. Adults $18; seniors (60+)/stu-dents (12-18) $15.

Environment commissioner Scott Vaughn and the Parliament's environmental watchdog say they are in doubt that Canada will meet its emissions reduction targets.

Under Kyoto, a legally binding agreement, Canada needs to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions six per cent below 1990 levels by 2012.

So, if Canada is not meeting its reductions targets now, what is it going to do if new pipelines are built like the Keystone XL project and the oil sands are expanded by roughly 30 per cent to generate enough crude oil to fill these pipelines at an increase of 500,000 barrels a day?

Jobs, which are extremely

important to the Canadian economy, will be created in the Alberta Oil Sands and yes the construction of new oil pipelines will generate even more temporary jobs, keyword, temporary?

Canada is receiving the short end of the stick here with temporary jobs linked to the construction of new pipelines while refining jobs down in Texas could remain in operation for many years, in fact this is one reason as to why the U.S. government changed its tune about Canada’s “Dirty Oil,” the potential for long-term jobs. Why not try different energy generating technologies like in Germany, where by end of 2008 it had over one million solar thermal systems installed on rooftops, generating close to 20,000 long-term jobs and producing 7,300 megawatts of electricity.

If new energy industries are invested in properly they can create permanent jobs, a cleaner energy grid, less energy dependence, and a healthier way of life for all Canadians?

If Canada gave renewable energy companies a fraction of the money given for the subsidization of Oil Sands development, operating budgets of renewable energy companies would explode and new possibilities and technologies could emerge while creating jobs for Canadians.

Canada and its resources are clearly for sale, but at what price?

Let’s put money in new technologies and we will have a diversified energy system and new industries leading Canada into the future.

Christopher Summers,Delta

"The squeaky wheel gets the grease."Deltans concerned over expenditures

to send a municipal delegation to Ottawa recently to press the federal government for funding to address a number of local issues should keep that old adage in mind.

While the trip's cost did come out of the public purse the need to be "in the game" of trying to pry dollars out of the feds is well worth the money.

While it may take a while to realize the benefits from the visit by four Deltans who met with a variety of officials, the need to be not only heard, but seen in person, is very valuable.

To be left out of the discussion in the hallways of the capital would not lend any encouragement to the local lobbying being done on matters such as dredging the waterways around Ladner.

That, and other issues, from agriculture to transportation, are vital to the well being of all Deltans. And spending money to make sure those making the decisions know there is a very real need is worthwhile.

The opportunity to strengthen ties with our current MP, who was included in the Ottawa meetings, was also a beneficial move.

Now that the riding of Delta-Richmond East has a representative who is not considered to be a party outsider, the chances of getting the government to take more notice of this region should be enhanced.

And judging by the lengthy list of meetings—about 10 over the three-day visit—there is a lot that needs to be addressed in this community by the federal arm.

Would Deltans dismiss the help if it was offered?

That would likely be a resounding no.So, to get to that point this community

needs to remain in the process of keeping the name Delta familiar in the minds and chequebooks of those allocating funds.

To be sure, other communities, with just as pressing needs, are doing the same thing.

And making a noise above the crowd is the right thing to do—even it is a repeated squeak or two.

EDITORIAL

I am studying city planning at the University of Waterloo and I am a resident of Tsawwassen. My first response to the proposed tolls to use the George Massey Tunnel in your article Rushour Remedies (South Delta Leader Sept. 9, 2011) was that of opposition, but after thinking about the article I real-ized that I am in favour of tolling the tunnel.

Building, as discussed in the article, is not an option. A bridge is too costly, and while it might be possible to build a second tunnel

beside the first to help alleviate congestion, the adage “build it and they will come” is only too true. Building more space for cars will only be a temporary solution because soon it will just be filled up by more cars; it is impossible to build your way out of conges-tion.

Clearly, increased carpooling and public transit options are the only long term solution. While the increased TransLink tax will help fund the Evergreen line to Surrey, the chance is very slim that Delta will see transit improvements in the near future from the tax hike. Furthermore, building a SkyTrain extension from Richmond to Delta, which would considerably

reduce tunnel congestion, is low on the list of TransLink’s priorities, as noted in your article “Mayors okay TransLink tax hike on leap of faith."

By tolling the George Massey Tunnel, people will just drive far-ther to avoid the tolls, resulting in increased pollution and con-gestion on the other Fraser River crossings, neither of which are favourable outcomes.

Instead, the Alex Fraser, Pat-tullo and Port Mann Bridge must be tolled in addition to the tunnel. The tolls will decrease congestion by encouraging drivers to carpool or take public transit

D espite all the market volatil-i t y a n d w o r-

r i e s a b o u t E u r o p e and the United States, according to “seasonal analysis,” the North American markets are entering their “strong” season. So if you fol-low the financial gos-pel of “buy low and sell high”— October is gen-erally one of the better months to invest your money.

What is sea-sonal analy-sis?

With North American markets, there i s a s a y i n g “buy when it snows and sell when it goes.” This refers to the season of strength that the markets experi-ence between October and the beginning of May. A strong season for a market is usually defined as being posi-tive more than 50 per cent of the time. So for North American mar-kets (and most devel-oped markets), the peak often arrives in about late April.

How does it work?It works by anticipat-

ing certain events that occur annually. For example, the season-ally strong gold season which coincides with India’s wedding sea-son. India is one of the biggest consumers of gold and their appetite often peaks during the months of August to October. This annual uptick in demand is often followed by an increase in price of the metal (supply and demand).

Many commodities or markets indices will have their own season of strength (and some-times season of weak-ness).

How reliable is it?It is fairly reliable.

During the past 10 years it has worked seven times. The same can be said for the more tradi-tional technical analysis (where analysts look at graphs for signs of “over sold” and “over bought” stocks/markets) and has outperformed funda-

mental analysis (deci-sions based on interest rates, earning reports, employment numbers, consumer confidence, etc.).

At the end of the day, I would implement all three analysts styles (seasonal, technical a n d f u n d a m e n t a l ) . Despite the 70 per cent track record, it is not recommended to use seasonal analysts as a

“stand alone” tool.

Is season-a l i t y g o i n g to work this year?

I sure hope s o, b u t w e won’t know for sure until next May. If the past 10 years are an indication,

we have a 70 per cent chance that the markets will strengthen between the months of October to May. I am generally an optimist and believe investors are best served by “time in the market” rather than “timing the market.” However, if you are thinking about investing and want to take advantage of a vol-atile and a seasonally low stock market, then maybe “it is the season to invest.”

This Oct. 20 it's time again to "Drop, cover and hold on."

It's the Great Shake-Out drill that is designed to remind everyone the proper way to react if a large earthquake hits the region.

And everyone, from school kids to business owners, and everyone in between, is invited to take part in what is termed the largest earth-quake drill in Canadian history.

More information is available at Shake-OutBC.ca, but for start-ers you can register as an official participant. Visit the website and download posters and flyers to help promote the event.

More than 200,000 British Columbians have already made the com-mitment to participate during the drill which starts at 10:20 a.m. on Oct. 20.

Michel Latendresse, Deputy Chief of Emer-gency Management with Delta Fire and Emergency Services said it is almost a cer-tainty an earthquake will hit the area at some point in the future and being prepared to with-stand it and then care for yourself for a least 72 hours or up to a full week before help arrives is vital.

Latendresse added it is easy for people to become complacent about such emergen-cies, but events such as the recent 8.9 magni-tude shake in Japan and similar quake in New Zealand should serve as reminders to be pre-pared.

The public should also make an emer-gency plan and practise it. Plus, being prepared should include getting an emergency kit that includes water, non-per-ishable food, a flashlight and batteries, wind-up radio, first aid kit, drug prescriptions and even copies of important documents.

PHILIP RAPHAELE D I T O R

L ooking at Mike Ching surveying the action whirling around him it’s hard not to try and fit him with a ringmas-

ter’s top hat, tails and put a microphone in his hands.

To his left bodies fly into the air in a tangled formation, only to come to rest, cat-like and realigned on the sprung floor at the Delta Sport Development Centre in Ladner.

To his right, a pair team up to work on some fighting moves. The two never connect blows, but the finish sends the bigger of the two crashing into a vast pit of foam cubes.

In between, others stretch their muscles, practise their footwork, and manage to per-fect an elaborate shoulder roll over a tall foam pad.

It’s a late Sunday night and stunt men and women, as well as martial artists, from all over the Lower Mainland have come to the gym to give their moves a shakedown.

It’s been that way for close to two decades, says Ching, who has been in the stunt game for TV and film for about the same length of time.

“Basically, I supervise, watch and help out where I can,” he says, scanning the floor of the gym.

From the slopes to filmInitially, Ching, an alpine ski instructor

and former representative for running shoe

brand Asics only had a vague interest in the film industry.

“I didn’t really know what aspect I wanted to get into,” he says.

Asked if there was one moment while watching a movie or TV show that lit a light bulb in his mind that stunt work was for him, Ching laughs and says, “no.”

“I grew up watching all the shows people grew up watching that inspired others to be stunt performers, but I never really thought of it as something I could do, until I came across some people who guided me in the right direction.”

One of them was former Canadian Olym-pic gymnast, Ladner resident and now movie stunt co-ordinator Owen Walstrom who at the time was a coach at Delta Gymnastics.

“He’s (Walstrom) one of the people who helped train me and told me what I needed to do in the gym,” Ching says. “As a place for stunt performers to train, this (Delta Gymnas-tics) was ideal because you had a sprung floor, pads all over the place, and the type of equip-ment that you do use on set, like a mini tramp. That’s good for learning your air space, plus you have a safe place to hit the ground.”

It’s a big departure from growing up play-ing mostly tennis, badminton and skiing. But those activities laid the foundation for Ching to explore the demands of stunt work.

He admits he never dabbled in martial arts as a youngster, but being Asian and in the movie industry, “You have to know martial arts in some way or another, because that’s

all the things (jobs) you’re going to get off the top. You get stereotyped being Asian.”

Over the years in the local film business he’s worked on both of the Fantastic Four feature films, the Night at the Museum movies, The Last Samurai, I Robot, The Mummy 3, and The Chronicles of Riddick, to name a few.

“Lots of fun things,” Ching says. “All of those films utilize the stuff I learn and play around with here.”

Training timeIt’s a busy night as groups gather in the

Delta gym.One section of the floor is composed of

mainly young Asian men.“You’ll see a lot of kids who do martial arts

tricking, which is a whole different aspect of things,” Ching says. “It’s inspired by a lot of movies, and they will see stuff on YouTube, and they’ll come here to learn how to do it.”

While that’s not related to stunt work, the gym is well suited to cushion their leaps and dives.

Working on specific moves is Langley resi-dent Michael Lewinson. He’s been in the stunt business for six years—two of those paid, he jokes—after a high school teacher who dou-bled for British actor Jason Statham in a Van-couver shot move asked Lewinson if he’d like to drop by the Delta gym to work out.

“I thought that was kinda cool and ended up just using it to pay for my school,” he says.

So far, he’s appeared in a couple of com-

mercials for Nike and most recently was in the feature film Planet of the Apes and WB Network series Hellcats.

One of his highlights to date was tumbling along a main street in downtown New West-minster at 3 a.m.

“That was for Hellcats,” he says with a wide grin.

In the gym Lewinson works methodically, stretching and pacing carefully through his moves for an elaborate tumble.

“I haven’t been set on fire yet. But I’ve been shot at,” he says laughing.

Perfecting skills is how Lewinson uses his gym time.

“Things like handsprings and tumbling, and also developing new skills. Plus I like to see what else is out there,” he says, alluding to the variety of disciplines using the gym.

“I basically try to pull pieces from other people and use what they can do as motiva-tion, you might say.”

He adds that tumbling is more of a mental thing for him because he wasn’t a gymnast growing up.

“So, it’s a little harder for me.”Finding steady work in the industry can

also be a challenge. But when it does present itself, it’s all go, and a challenge.

When not working on a production, Lewin-son says he trains roughly five nights a week—two of those in Delta, and the rest in Vancou-ver.

Another regular in Delta is stunt woman Nicole Lissner, 30, who has been in the busi-

ness for the past 10 years.“I was a Tomboy,” says the Mission native. “And

it just piqued my interest. It was a natural progres-sion to start falling and hitting things, then get hit by things.”

A track and field athlete in high school, she has a compact and petite, athletic frame that lends her to much younger roles.

“I stunt double kids a lot,” she says. “Kids tend to get tackled a lot. So, I’m pretty good at that.

“I’ve also been set on fire,” she adds somewhat nonchalantly. “I’ve been hit by a car. And I’ve done a couple of fight scenes.”

And it’s those fight moves she has been paying closer attention to in the gym—working on timing and footwork.

Pairing up with Lissner for a photo for the Leader’s cover is Richmond native Darren E. Scott, 39, who now lives in Beijing, China and has been in the stunt and film business for the past 16 years.

A martial artist growing up, Scott didn’t intention-ally seek out the business. It just happened for him.

Walk on career“I was asked one day to be an extra in a movie

(The Hunted) one day and got to work with the stunt men,” he says.

He played a Ninja in the 1994 film that starred Christopher Lambert—from Highlander fame—and Joan Chen.

“I had just finished college so I gave it a try and it was a lot of fun,” Scott says. “I was a martial artist first. The gymnastics came later when I decided to give this business a serious try.”

After living for a while in Japan, Scott returned to Vancouver and pursued the business more.

Now, he is doing film work in Asia. Last year, he was in three feature films and he has appeared in numerous commercials.

With the chisled good looks of a model, Scott tends to be more on the acting side of the business rather than solely stunt work.

“Plus, I’ve never really been acrobatic,” he says. “Most of my stunts involve getting shot or beaten up.”

And one of the most important thing he has learned in the gym is how to fall properly.

“Yeah, of course,” he says. “You only get one back.”[email protected]

Things to do before baby arrives!

Mylene Lefebvre is a happy mom with a story to tell other moms whose babies are having a difficult time teething. “My little one now has 16 teeth and I never had to give her any medication for teething. Plus I’ve been off cortisone for my eczema since I started using the Pure Hazelwood prod-ucts,” said Mylene.

The story is one that has its roots back in the very, very early days. Many long years ago aboriginal people put chips of hazelwood on their babies’ necks to soothe teething pains. The practice seemed to have been nearly lost until a Quebec couple with a new baby who was teething was given a necklace made with beads from the hazelwood tree. Genevieve Lagace and Patrick Lafond were delighted when they found that the age-old practice seemed to work wonders, so they began to make a few necklaces. Word of mouth traveled fast and soon a drug store owner asked them to supply some necklaces that he could sell to his customers. In 2002, they decided to go into the manufacturing of the necklaces, bracelets and anklets full-time, for infants, children and adults.

They have since purchased a farm where they are naturally growing their own hazel-wood trees and they hand-make the beads

on site (over 65 employees). This is a 100 per cent natural, 100 per cent handmade and 100 per cent Canadian product, specially constructed to be safe for infants. They now sell in over 1,200 outlets across Canada, the United States and Europe.

Hazelwood has the property of neutral-izing the body's acidity. Testimonies from our clients confirm that hazelwood relieves or soothes heartburn, gastric reflux, teeth-ing, skin problems (psoriasis, acne, ecze-ma), arthritis, osteoarthritis, constipation, migraines, cavities or any ailment associ-ated with surplus acid.

Ladner's Laura Thomas is about to have her Money Moments show launched on DeltaTV this Sunday (Oct. 16). It's crammed full of good tips to help take control of your personal finances that sometimes come down to good old fashioned sense, like baking gingerbread cookies as a fun and inexpensive activity for children that also makes for a great hostess gift during the holidays. Philip Raphael photo

Money talkLaura Thomas set to launch DeltaTV show focusing on our relationship with money

DIRECTIONSMix sugar, shortening, egg and molas-

ses. Beat until fluffy. Add dry ingredients. Chill dough for about 30 minutes. Roll out on floured surface about ¼ inch thick (or thicker). Cut with seasonal cookie cut-

ters. Bake in 350 F oven for about 10 minutes or until golden brown on the edges. Cool and ice with butter icing. Use sandwich bags and twist ties for piping the icing. Use candies, sprinkles, dried fruit and nuts for decorations.

If there’s one thing that Ladner writ-er Laura Thomas learned during the shooting of her DeltaTV show, Money Moments with Laura Thomas, which begins airing Oct. 16, it was that every-one has some sage advice on how to make a buck stretch or work harder for them.

The nine-episode series was shot last summer and Thomas interviewed a number of “money experts” from all walks of life, both local and national, for the five-minute-long programs that will continue in rotation on local cable and the video-on-demand por-tion of parent company EastLink.

“Even if a handful of people save $10 with a helpful tip from the show, it’s all good,” says Thomas. “And based on that maybe they will feel a little more empowered to talk about money. And that takes away a little of the fear factor.”

She adds that all of us are in the economy together and sharing infor-mation—even on the sometimes taboo subject of personal finance—is

a step in the right direction.“I think everybody has one or two

nuggets of wisdom when it comes to money. It doesn’t matter who you are,” she says. “It just reminds you that we tend to want to give away much of our power when it comes to money. We want to have people make choices for us.”

One of those nuggets that can be mined is the age old tradition of using practical lessons as a way of not only teaching a skill, but creating a fun and inexpensive activity—in this instance, baking gingerbread cookies.

Thomas says her family recipe was a hit with her seven-year-old daugh-ter and her friend who were recently tasked with decorating them with but-ter icing.

“I do this twice a year—Thanks-giving and Christmas,” Thomas says, adding the kids enjoyed taking owner-ship of the decorating and the finished products are an inexpensive host or hostess gift during the holidays.

A family owned and run business in Tsawwassen is ready to roll the video game party right to the front curb of their customers’ homes.

It’s called Playpodz, a 26-foot-long, nine-foot-high trailer packed with flat screen TVs, all the lat-est video game titles and platforms, and it’s the first of its kind in the Metro Van-couver marketplace.

Company president Colin Lowndes said the idea originally sprung from a task handed to his father, Colin Sr., to provide a team-building event for his own workplace.

The result was packing up a few Nintendo Wii game systems and carting them down to the office

event.That proved to be a bit of

an organizational chore.“People had a great time,

but it was challenging to set up,” Colin says.

So his father went about researching a better alter-native and discovered the idea of placing all of the games into one mobile unit that can take the video game party just about wherever it needs to go.

“It’s very prominent in the U.S. and we designed our own trailer, did all the research and develop-ment and now we’re ready to go with the region’s first mobile arena. That’s what we call it,” says Colin, 31, who is joined in the busi-ness with his mom and younger sisters Angela, 29, and Michelle, 18.

What they have inside

the trailer is a video gamer’s dream come true with four, 55-inch, high definition flat screen monitors placed in front of four couches that feed vibrations through the seats to give an added dimension to game play.

The trailer can seat 16 players, an optimum num-

ber since one of the most popular games around, Halo, can accommodate that number of players in the same game.

“That’s a good sized party for parents,” Colin says. “And if they want 32, they can go in two shifts.”

The trailer can also play

four separate games as well, and players can choose from a Sony Playstation, Nintendo Wii, or XBox 360.

They started taking bookings at the start of October and reaction has been [email protected]

SMALL BUSINESS WEEKOCTOBER 16-22, 2011

Video games ready to rollTsawwassen family packs trailer with gamer’s heaven

Tsawwassen's Lowndes family (L-R) Angela, Michelle and Colin, recently rolled out Playpodz, a mobile gaming system for up to 16 players that is packed into a 26-foot-long trailer. Philip Rapahel photo

T o help celebrate Small Business Week, the South Delta Leader focused on a pair of local ven-

tures that speak to the adventurous nature entrepreneurs share.

First we take a look at a family's idea to bring video game parties right to the customer in one package—a 26-foot-long trailer packed with the latest gear.

Then we shift to a business that's non-traditional in South Delta—one that provides the tattoo and body piercing community with a place to call their own.

CHRISTINE LYONR E P O R T E R

Tsawwassen may not be a Mecca for the tattooed and pierced community, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a market for body jewelry and ink-inspired clothing.

Culture Craze is the latest retail store to move into the Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall. The shop, which offi-cially opened its doors Oct. 7, carries everything from graphic T-shirts to blue hair dye to eyebrow rings.

“We’re trying to break d ow n t h e s t e r e o t y p e s placed on the tattooed and pierced lifestyle,” said store owner Lisa LaFauci, a Tsawwassen resident. Body modification is not about being “scary,” she says, it’s all about appreciating art and expressing yourself. But Culture Craze is by no

means limited to just inked and pierced customers.

“We want everyone to come in and see us. It doesn’t matter if you’re young or old,” LaFauci says.

In fact, the store made its very first sale to a senior citizen who bought himself a plaid button-up shirt by Sul-len—a clothing line designed by tattoo artists. And on a recent weekday afternoon, a handful of teenage girls walked into the shop and immediately swarmed the popular Angry Birds graphic T-shirt collection.

Culture Craze also carries Canadian musician Avril Lavigne’s rocker-chic influ-enced clothing line Abbey Dawn, as well as punk-rockabilly attire, toddler clothes, and soon-to-arrive baby pajamas.

“Our company’s all about creating this environment

where everybody belongs,” LaFauci says. “We want to be that shop where moms feel comfortable bringing their daughters to us, so we’re really just trying to bridge that gap and have a safe and trustworthy place that people can come to.”

Tsawwassen Town Centre Mall is the company’s 20th retail location across four provinces, though most of those locations are small kiosks in shopping mall corridors. One location on Vancouver Island performs body piercings in-house and will soon offer tattoos as well. Meanwhile, the com-pany warehouse is located just up the street from its newest retail spot on 56th Street in Tsawwassen.

While the store carries a wide selection of clothing, accessories and art, the top-selling item at all locations

is body jewelry. Displayed behind glass cases are hun-dreds of shiny studs and rings for the ear, naval, tongue, eyebrow and lip. Earlobe expanders and surgical steel or Grade 5 titanium jewelry for allergy-prone people are also in store.

The Tsawwassen shop fea-tures a “jewelry bar” where shoppers can customize the gauge, length and material of a piece of jewelry.

And for those who aren’t prepared to commit to per-manent pigment or punc-tures, Culture Craze also

sells suction-on tongue rings, magnetic studs, clip-on earrings and temporary tattoos.

“We’re bringing tattoos and piercings to the main-stream,” LaFauci [email protected]

'Hawks put Wolf Packin the doghouseThird period outburst gives home team an 11-1 win

Delta Ice Hawks forward John Proctor gets stopped on the doorstep by North Vancouver Wolf pack goalie Jordan Liem Tuesday night at Ladner Arena. The 'Hawks went on to win 11-1 and take a share of top spot in the PIJHL's Tom Shaw Conference. Jim Kinnear photo


T he Delta Ice Hawks put an emphatic stamp on their

tie for top spot in the PIJHL's Tom Shaw Con-ference Tuesday night (Oct. 11) with an 11-1 drubbing of the North Vancouver Wolf Pack at Ladner Arena.

The game started out without too much fan-fare for the 'Hawks when Mark Whiteley provided the only scoring in the opening period at the 5:05 mark.

And even a pair of powerplay goals by Cody Fidgett and John Proctor, plus an even strength goal from Cody Smith that made the score 4-1 didn't give a clear indi-cation of what was to fol-low in the final frame.

What happened in the final 20 minutes was a collapse by the visitors as the 'Hawks scored s e v e n u n a n s w e re d goals—two with a man advantage, a pair short handed and three while at even strength.

Notching goals on the power play were Spencer Traher and Aaron Mer-rick, while short handed scores were provided by Anthony Brito and Sam Vikich.

Getting in on the offensive outburst with

the teams even were Brito—who recorded a hat trick on the night—a n d P r o c t o r — t h e game's first star—with

JEFF NAGELB L A C K P R E S S

Metro Vancouver driv-ers who save money by forgoing snow tires may want to rethink their strategy this winter.

A moderate La Nina we a t h e r p a t t e r n i s expected to bring cold-er-than-normal temper-atures to most of B.C.

Environment Canada meteorologist David Jones said that may translate into more snow in the Lower Mainland.

"I'd say it's a good year to get snow tires," Jones said. "But remem-ber other outcomes are possible."

One U.S. forecaster predicted the typically colder weather pattern from the Pacific Ocean could make this one of the chilliest winters in 20 years for Vancouver.

But Jones called it "irresponsible" to go that far in making any predictions.

He noted last winter was actually a strong La Nina yet there were few storms, relatively warm temperatures and less snow than Jones had expected.

"Whether it's sav-ing up to whack us this year, I don't know," he said. "It might happen. Is it predictable? I would say no."

The projection is for the 90-day temperature average over the win-ter to run one to two degrees colder than nor-mal here.

That would increase the odds of big dumps of snow in Metro Van-couver, Jones said.

While motorists inter-ested in a smooth com-mute may be frustrated, skiers and local ski hill operators will likely be happy.

"La Nina years are typically good for skiers because the snow stays, it doesn't melt," Jones said. "The freezing level is persistently lower."

The projection of another La Nina win-ter came from the U.S. National Weather Ser-vice, which noted it brings a strong chance of above-average pre-cipitation across the Pacific Northwest.
