Thursday, November 1, 2012 The Nugget 5 opinion — Editorial — Sandy takes its toll

CLAIRE THEOBALD Editor-In-Chief After super storm Sandy made landfall on Monday night in New Jersey, millions along the east coasts of Canada and the United States have been left without power, more then 80 homes were destroyed in New York as a result of a fire in Queens and at least 26 people across the United states are dead. This is after the storm already killed over 60 people in the Caribbean last week. Toronto saw fierce winds that toppled trees and downed power lines. One woman in Toronto is reported dead after being struck in the head with a falling Staples sign. New York is left crippled after a record breaking storm surge of almost 14 feet swept through downtown Manhattan, leaving its subway system flooded. Without power, it could be days before water obstructing the system can be pumped out. Over 50 homes in Queens have been destroyed after a massive fire ripped through Breezy Point.

Newborn babies rescued New York University Hospital lost all power and their backup generator failed, forcing them to evacuate 200 patients. Nurses reportedly carried newborn babies dependent on respir- ators down nine flights of stairs while manually delivering air to their vulnerable patients. Although the devastation was widespread, New Jersey was hit hardest as the storm made landfall, experiencing steady winds of 130 km/h. Three towns in the state are under knee deep water after water levels overcame a berm on the Hackensak River. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie described the wreck- age in a press conference as “beyond anything I thought I’d ever see.” He said 2.4 million households had been affected, double the amount ravaged by Hurricane Irene that swept the state in August 2011. Christie said that after Irene, it took eight days to restore services. Due to the level of devastation caused by Sandy, Christie says residents left in the dark can expect it to take much longer to restore services this time.

WOMEN’S HOCKEY It’s back to the basics By LUCAS ANDERS NAIT’s women’s hockey team had a difficult outing Saturday night against Red Deer College. RDC was really looking to prove themselves after losing to the Ooks Thursday night 4-3. Things started out tough for the Ooks as RDC drew first blood within 51 seconds of the first period. This really set the tone for the rest of the game.

Something to prove The Queens certainly had something to prove and controlled most of the game. The fact that the Ooks didn’t have their legs underneath them did not help matters. Finding any offence proved difficult for the Ooks and the Queens kept up the pressure. RDC would eventually score two more goals before the end of period, making the score 3-0 and sending the Ooks to the dressing room with something to think about. In the second period, NAIT came out with a little more fire, scoring two quick goals to draw within in a goal of RDC.

GAMe REVIEW Fun and games with Harry Potter By SARAH STILWELL Harry Potter Scene It? is surprisingly a lot of fun for both Harry Potter fans and non-fans alike. For this week’s games night, five fans and five people who are clueless to the Harry Potter universe got together and hosted one of their loudest games night to date. As per normal Scene It, the same categories exist with a little bit of a Harry Potter twist on them. All Plays and My Plays remain the same, either all of the players or just the roller watch a clip from one of the first four movies and answer questions based on the clips they just watched. The card questions are where the game begins to differ from regu- lar Scene It. The questions surround the Harry Potter universe, the charms, spells and the actors who appear in the movies. Muggles, the category about the actors who appear in the films, are just as challenging for Harry Potter fans as they are for people who know nothing about the franchise. For most categories in the game, knowledge is not necessary but an asset. We played the older version of Harry Potter Scene It? that only has questions and film clips from the first four films. Most varieties of Scene It make it possible for everybody to answer questions, such as All Plays or My Plays that have you con- nect the images together to make a name of a character, movie name or prop used in the films. Those ones are my favourites because of everybody yelling ran- dom words over each other. They usually ended up with two or more screaming out the exact same correct answer. Those instances usually ended up with tie-breakers or with one thriftaway.wordpress.com person forfeiting to the other player because they still feel guilty from we’re in the Harry Potter universe it’s obviously much cooler than One last piece of advice, don’t say “Dumbledore!” for every sabotaging their last turn. normal. answer.

RESTAURANT REVIEW Dim Sum on the south side By KEVIN TUONG The food that best represents ‘Chi- nese’ isn’t a house pet, nor is it something unrecognizable. It’s also most definitely not sweet and sour pork or ginger beef. The most ‘Chinese’ food out there is probably ... Dim Sum. But what is Dim Sum, exactly? It’s a lunch time style of Chinese din- ing that involves ladies pushing carts of hot steaming food around. When they arrive at your table, you pick out what items you want and they’ll stamp your bill, which you use to add up your total for when you pay. No, you don’t pick out large dishes of stir-fry beef or chow mein. Instead, there are tiny round bamboo trays that hold anywhere from three to five items of a single food. Most of them are hors d’oeuvre-sized and can be easily devoured in one or two bites. But there are bigger items such as sticky rice, stuffed rice noodles or even chicken feet and all of this is served with Chinese tea.

Lots of parking I often get asked “What’s the best Dim Sum place in Edmonton?” And quite frankly, I don’t have a clear answer. They’re all equally “meh” and none of them really stand out.
