Iconic blues guitarist John Mayallis set to burn up the Lake Stage thisSaturday as one of the headliners ofthe 12th annual Burnaby Blues andRoots Festival.

In a phone interview from LosAngeles, Mayall said he and his newcollection of band mates go where theaudience is, and they have that righthere in the Lower Mainland.

Every time we play in Canada,the reaction has been really terrific,Mayall explained. I really enjoy play-

ing there.Vancouver

over the yearshas been one ofour main cir-cuits.

Mayall hasjust wrappedup touringacross Europeand started hisCanadian showsearly Augustin Kelowna,Nelson, Castle-gar, Edmonton,Kitchener andG r a v e n h u r s t

with a few pit stops in the U.S. beforeembracing Burnaby on Aug. 13.

We travel so much, he added.But travelling from A to B is the hardpart. Getting on stage is easy.

Thats what we do.Mayall said he mostly plays at blues

festivals wherever he can because hefinds every experience worthwhile from the attendees to fellow per-formers.

Blues festivals are wonderful, hesaid. You get to address a large audi-ence and unite with other musicalpeople from over the years.

Mayall was surprised when theBurnaby NOW informed him that hellbe a headliner with fellow icon k.d.lang.

They never really tell us who wellbe playing with, its a nice surprise,he said. Thatll be interesting. I nevermet her (k.d. lang) before.

When asked what inspired Mayallafter a successful 40-plus-year career,he compared the work of being a musi-cian with the like of being a painter.

Music is like painting, you getinspired by the music itself, Mayall

explained. Its a form of self-expres-sion.

The legendary guitarist was bornNov. 29, 1933 in Macclesfield, England,near Manchester. His guitarist fathersextensive jazz record collection isresponsible fordrawing Mayallinto the musicalworld.

After attendingart college, spend-ing three yearswith the BritishArmy in Korea,and working as agraphic designer,Mayall finally dived into performingmusic when he was 30.

Around this time, Mayall was partof the leading components of the

British Blues Boom in the late 1960s.He soon formed the famous

Bluesbreakers and eventually met EricClapton, which led to the bands firsthit album and worldwide recogni-tion.

M a y a l l ssidemen haveincluded EricClapton andJack Bruce (whowould later leaveto form Cream);Mick Fleetwood,who left to formFleetwood Mac;and Mick Taylor,

who joined the Rolling Stones shortlyafter moving on from Bluesbreakers.

Mayall set to grace the stage

Community pillar: Longtime volunteer and seniors advocate Grace Joe, seen here in a 2003 photo, passed away in July. Hermemorial will be held Saturday, Aug. 20 at the South Burnaby United Church.

Mallturns 50

A longtime community figure haspassed away. Grace Joe, former winner ofBurnabys Kushiro Cup, died on July 12.

Every year, the Kushiro Cup goes toBurnabys Citizen of the Year, and Joereceived the honour in 2002 for her out-standing contributions to the community.

Wherever theres a need, wherevertheres a call, I will go, Joe told the NOWin 2003. You can (volunteer), any time,anywhere. You dont have to wait for the

opportunity. It just presents itself.Joe was a registered nurse who taught

nursing in Victoria, Vancouver and NewWestminster. She also studied gerontologyat SFU and taught English as a second lan-guage. She spent five decades volunteeringfor the benefit of others. She helped theBonsor Seniors Society Health Alert pro-gram and volunteered with groups like thecitys Citizen Support Services. She helpedother seniors, by taking them shopping,assisting with tax forms or keeping theisolated ones company. She donated bloodand also worked with the RCMPs victimservices program.

In a note to the NOW, Joes daughter,Gail, described what her mother meant to

others. Mom was not only the matriarch inour family, but was also a mother to every-one she met. Her caring nature for peoplemade them feel very special because shetook such an interest in them. This compas-sion resulted in over 50 years of volunteerwork that she did with society.

Joe also received the OKeefe ShiningLight Award for her work with seniors. In2007, she received the Governor GeneralsCaring Canadian Award for her outstand-ing and selfless contribution to the commu-nity and to Canada.

Joes memorial service will be onSaturday, Aug. 20, at 10:30 a.m. in SouthBurnaby United Church, at 7591 Gray Ave. where she taught Sunday school.

Childrens clothing companyPlease Mum has closed its doorsat the Brentwood and Lougheedtown centres.

The closures came with littlenotice in early July, according toBrentwood Town Centre man-ager Brian Wong.

The companys location atMetropolis at Metrotown is stillopen, as are two other locationsin the Lower Mainland; on WestBroadway in Vancouver and atWillowbrook Mall in Langley.

Please Mum closed 68 storesin early July, leaving just 21open across the country.

The Vancouver-based com-pany filed for creditor protec-tion in mid-July and laid off 750employees.

There has been a massiveincrease in competition fromthe U.S. and other countries,Please Mum founder and CEOKathryn Adrian said in an emailinterview with The VancouverSun. This comes as a result ofthe recession down south. Therecession there, and to a degreehere, has changed the markets

focus from hand-me-downquality to less quality but a lotcheaper prices.

An administrator for thecompanys toll-free line saidthe media relations line hadbeen disconnected, but redi-rected the NOW to customerservice and another line forthe media which was consis-tently busy throughout the dayon Wednesday, Aug. 3.

The company is only hon-ouring exchanges and returnson purchases made before fil-ing for bankruptcy on July 11,according to the Please Mum

website, and all merchandisepurchased after that date is afinal sale.

Gift cards are not beingaccepted, the website also stat-ed.

The website is offering dealsof 30 to 70 per cent for merchan-dise.

The company is protectedfrom creditors claims includ-ing employees for 30 daysafter filing for bankruptcy pro-tection while it comes up with arestructuring plan.

Martin Brautigan spent nearly 50 years of his life as abarber in Burnaby Heights.

The former owner of Top Barbers known as MartsBarbershop during his reign is relieved to see the 65-year-old shop in good hands today.

I was happy to see the business come back to life,Brautigan says.

Brautigan began working at the barbershop in 1949 forthen-owner Ernie Chesham, he says. The shop first opened in1946.

Brautigan went to barber school in 1947 and never lookedback.

It always looked like a good steady job, Brautigan says.

He bought the shop from his employer in 1972.

Brautigan, who grew up on a dairy farm near Mission, hasseen the Heights grow and change over the years.

He remembers when the streetcars still ran along HastingsStreet and houses sat beside businesses, he says.

I used to go to the Regent Theatre after work, he says,adding the spot between MacDonald and Gilmore avenues isnow a doctors office.

While the amount of clients fluctuated over the years,Brautigan says he always made a good living, most oftenworking in the shop by himself.

They were mostly ordinary working people, he says ofthe clientele, adding he had about 90 per cent repeat business.

The only difficult time was during the 70s, Brautigan says.

When the hippies came in, business slowed down, he ...

The joy of blueberries

Summertime alwaysoffers a bountifulharvest of fresh fruitand berries and blueber-ries are, by far, one of myfavourites.

As a matter of fact, Ijust finished performinga number of live cookingshows where blueberrieswere the main focus. Theyare not only packed full ofnutrition and flavour butare also a very versatilecooking ingredient.

Upon any investigationinto foods that are richin antioxidants, you willalways find berries at thetop of the list. Blueberrieshave all the other berriesbeat when it comes to anti-oxidant levels.

The health benefitsthat we gain from foodsabundant in antioxidantsare too numerous to list incomplete detail but includeanti-aging, lower choles-terol, strong immune resis-tance to flus and virusesand reduction in risks ofcancer and heart disease.

This being said, it is inour best interest to attemptto introduce blueberriesinto our meals wheneverpossible.

The first idea that cross-es most peoples minds

when considering blueber-ries as an ingredient is des-serts, but blueberries alsocompliment many savourydishes quite well.

Here are two sugges-tions for you to experimentwith in the kitchen: Red Meat: Since blue-berries are very dark andintensely flavoured, theytend to stand up to meatsthat are also very bold.A red wine pan gravyon steaks, roasted beef,or lamb, for example, isalways complimented bythe rich intensity of a cou-ple handfuls of blueberriescooked down in it. Simplystrain out the skins for asmooth syrupy sauce. Salads: When dealing withacids in vinaigrettes, blue-berries work well as addedsweetness, either as a saladingredient or pureed intothe dressing, to help tonedown the sharp notesof vinegars, lemon andlime juices. The result is asmoother, more complextaste.

One last thing toremember is that blueber-ries are also enhancedby the taste of balsamicvinegar. Try this at hometonight: take a handfulof blueberries, wash anddry them and toss witha teaspoon of balsamic,and a sprinkle of sugar ifdesired. The blueberriesand the balsamic are bothbold flavours and pairquite well. Keeping this inmind will also assist youwith the inclusion of blue-

berries in red meat andsalad dishes as mentionedabove.

Dear Chef Dez:I love buying blueberries

from our local farms in largequantities at a great price.What is the best way to freezethem? How long should Ikeep them?

Joseph C.Mission, B.C.

Dear Joseph:Blueberries are best fro-

zen individually to make iteasier to retrieve a certainmeasurement when theyare frozen, rather thandefrosting a solid massof them. I find the bestway to do this is by lay-ing them all out on bakingsheets, freeze them com-pletely and then transferto sealable freezer bags. Tomake it easier to use themdirect from their frozenstate, I suggest washingthem prior to freezing,however they would alsoneed to be dried beforegoing onto the sheet pans.Wet berries will freeze notonly to each other but alsoto the pan, making it muchmore difficult to transferinto the freezer bags. I sug-gest keeping frozen blue-berries for up to a year forbest results.

Gardening with naked ladies

Very soon a spec-tacular fall flowererwith many nameswill be available in gardencentres today its usuallycalled autumn crocus afterits flowering time and theshape of its large, goblet-shaped flowers in purple-pink, mauve or white.

Old-time namesinclude: Naked Ladiesand Naked Boys becausethe flowers usuallyemerge before the leaves.Sometimes its calledWonder Bulb since itscapable of flowering whenbare bulbs are left on awindowsill. Botanically itscalled Colchicum.

Because its beautiful,easy to grow, tolerant ofadversity and adaptableto most variations of sunand shade, its a wonderfulasset for any garden withaverage soil. This is one ofthe plants that survives foryears in very old, unten-ded gardens.

Though Colchicumbulbs arent cheap, theyregreat value becausetheyre long-floweringand increase fast into largemats without adventuringinto places where theyrenot wanted.

The two extreme situ-ations that can kill themare dry, dense shade andswampy or flooded condi-tions.

Their ideal situation isa few hours of sun dailyand well-drained soil thatdoesnt dry out severely.

During August, gar-deners who want autumncrocus for their gardenwill need to move fast toacquire them. Once springbulbs arrive, the autumnbulbs either sell out orvanish from stock.

Its also important toplant the bulbs beforeleaves begin to grow,and they should never bemoved while leaves arevisible. I tried this once asan experiment, and it tookseveral years for flowers toreappear.

All Colchicum are veryhardy in this climate. Theyaccept acid or alkaline soilbut can have trouble inextremely nutritious soil.Bonemeal is good nourish-ment for them.

Easily availableColchicum include someColchicum speciosumhybrids such as the giant(which is very tall, mauveand white-throated) andwater lily, a double pinkwhich is inclined to flop.Another popular bulb is

Colchicum autumnale, asmaller, later-bloomingwhite version which alsohas white stems.

Earlier blooms leanover and become a whitemat surrounding the later,upright flowers.

Garden club plant salesare a good place for gar-

deners seeking unusualColchicum bulbs.

Seed can be found onthe soil at the base of theleaves in spring, but col-lecting it needs care andlatex gloves. Colchicum isvery poisonous.

great team. They fight allthe time, not against eachother, and thats even bet-ter, said Walmsley, whohas coached for 47 years.

B.C. host RidgeMeadows Rage finishedin fourth place. Provincialchampions BurnabyHurricanes was sixth over-all in pool play.

Were disappointedbut the Prairie competi-tion is really hard. Youknow youre going to meetthem in the finals, saidJosie Bradley, president of

Burnaby senior fastpitchand chair of the WesternCanadian championships.

Two of Burnabys lossescame against Strathmoreand Prince Albert in thefirst two days of tourna-ment play. The Hurricanesalso dropped a 9-1 deci-sion to Saskatchewan No.2 on Saturday.

In the games we lost,we left at least 14 girls onbase each game. Our prob-lem wasnt hitting or get-ting on base, it was finish-ing it off, said Bradley.

Strathmores KatrinaAnderson was the topbatter, hitting .476 in thequalifying rounds.

Prince Alberts LaurieEarle was the top pitcher,allowing just eight hitswhile striking out 22 bat-ters in 18 innings work.

Kara Shelly of theVictoria Kaos was namedthe MVP, batting seven for27 at the plate, while mak-ing seven putouts with noerrors.

Despite Burnabys over-all finish, Bradley said she

received winning compli-ments from the visitingteams on the park venueand the city itself.

At night it was just likethe Field of Dreams, saidBradley.

After the success of lastweeks Western Canadianhosting, Burnaby Fastpitchis also considering puttingits name forward for thesenior B mens and wom-ens championships nextyear.

Were going to put in abid, Bradley said.
