KINDERGARTEN SURVEY

Company ‘tests’ oil pipeline expansion

‘Passive consent’ triggers complaint Burnaby parent says survey is ‘unethical’

Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Kinder Morgan is eyeing plans to expand capacity of its Trans Mountain pipeline, which runs crude and refined oil products from Edmonton to Burnaby.

“We believe that the market is showing us signals that it may be ready to initiate expansion activities, and we’ll test that next fall,” said company spokesperson Lexa Hobenshield.

Kinder Morgan has mulled over expanding the pipeline in the past, but any increase in capacity would depend on market demand.

“What has changed is we think there is more interest at this point,” Hobenshield said. “We’re seeing signals that the market may be ready.”

Over the past several months, companies have wanted to ship more oil than what the pipeline can handle. Later this year, Kinder Morgan plans to conduct an “open season,” which is a call for agreements to ship additional oil products to see if there is enough interest that would support an expansion.

“If there is, then we put together a plan for a consultation,” Hobenshield said.

It may be five years before construction starts, and that’s only if the plan is approved, she added.

Hobenshield said the possible expansion may mean more tanker traffic around Vancouver.

“It depends on who comes to us and says we want more product,” Hobenshield said.

A parents’ group lead by a Burnaby woman is filing an ethics complaint over a survey on kindergarten kids.

Local resident Helen Ward is the president of Kids First Parent Association of Canada. On Jan. 21, Ward made a complaint to UBC’s behavioural research ethics board about a letter sent home to parents regarding the Early Development Instrument, a survey on kindergarten kids.

“It’s breaking standard procedures for privacy protection and parental consent,” Ward said.

The letter informs parents about the survey and mentions that data collected can be linked to education and health information. The letter also states that participation is voluntary, and that parents can contact their children’s teachers if they don’t want them to participate.

Ward has issues with the use of passive consent, meaning if parents say nothing, their kids will be included in the survey, rather than signing a consent form expressly stating they want their kids involved. Ward is also complaining about what she calls a lack of information on what the data gets linked to.

“They don’t say what they are linking it to,” Ward said. “It violates

Then: illiterate – Now: an author How one man went from illiteracy and life on the streets to being the author of his own life story

I

f there’s one word that John Mills uses a lot, it’s discouragement.

When he was a child, he was evaluated at school and excited to see the results.

“I asked the person, ‘How did I do?’

He looked at me and he said, ‘You won’t accomplish much, and you’ll always have a mediocre job.’ I was 11, and I remember that. He shut his suitcase and left me there,” Mills says. “I just wanted to retreat and be by myself.”

ON MY BEAT Discouragement is Jennifer Moreau something the now 38year-old Burnaby father had to face throughout his life to get where he is now – about to finish a psychology degree and publish his first book.

But it wasn’t easy.

Mills grew up in what he describes as a negative environment.

“I went through a lot of emotional abuse,” he says quietly at a local coffee shop with his toddler in tow. “You just want to get through the next day and survive.”

The soft-spoken, bespectacled Mills tells how his tumultuous childhood led to a bad education. Throughout his young life, he was constantly moving, from home to home, school to school. He offers one lonely word to describe his young self: outcast.

“I didn’t want to settle in because I knew we’d move again,” he says.

His schooling suffered, he never learned to read and write, and he dropped out at Grade 8, when he was 15. He spent the next several years “bumming around” – drinking, partying and hanging out with friends. He worked odd jobs but never held onto them for very long.

By the time Mills was 22, he was fed up.

“I realized it was just the same thing, week after week,” he says. And he saw adults around him stuck in repetitive routines and dead-end jobs.

“I did not want to get trapped in that. ...

I decided to make a change.”

But it didn’t happen overnight.

Mills applied for a moving job, but being illiterate, he couldn’t fill out the application form. Again, he felt discouraged because of the response he got from the man at the moving company.

“I heard him laughing in the background,” Mills said. “I just ran.”

His illiteracy was a closely guarded secret. In restaurants, he always ordered

Storytime: Burnaby resident John Mills does a little light reading with his 18-month-old son, Vicente. Mills was unable to read for much of his life but has managed to overcome his illiteracy. He has written a self-published book, called I Could and I Did, which chronicles his inspiring story. familiar things and avoided any situations where he would have to deal with words.

But he didn’t let go of his desire for change.

Mills tried to upgrade his education and was told he didn’t have the minimal requirements. Feeling discouraged again, he wanted to give up, but he didn’t. He got involved in an adult literacy program at age 23. By that time, he had left Vancouver behind and was living in his hometown of Edmonton.

“I remember going down there and (thinking): If this doesn’t work out, I’m done. I was so discouraged, and I was so unaware of where I was. The whole school system – I didn’t realize it was that hard.”

Mills got connected with a tutor whohelped him learn to read and write. He marvelled at how she could do multiplication tables in her head.

“I was just starting to learn the basics,” he says.

But he was still racked with self-doubt and mired in a negative environment reminiscent of his abusive childhood. His friends were putting him down, saying he was slow and didn’t stand a chance.

He enrolled in various programs, struggling to get an education, and again, faced enormous setbacks. t one point, he was kicked out of his home and spent four months sleeping in bushes. He didn’t know that there were things like social services, food banks and shelters that could help him.

At that point, he was trying to finish his Grade 12, but he stopped going to school because he was living on the streets.

“I was so discouraged, I dropped out,” he says.

But again, he persisted and enrolled in business management in college but was told his marks were too low. Then he thought about pursuing a psychology

degree, only to be told his IQ was too low by the school’s psychologist.

“That took me back to when I was 11 years old,” Mills says. “I got discouraged, but I wasn’t the type to listen to people.”

So Mills reapplied to upgrade and finish Grade 12, and he also enrolled in Athabasca University, an online institution, and is hoping to finish a psychology degree by fall. (He had enough credits from college courses to get in, even without having finished Grade 12.)

His achievements have won him some financial awards to help pay for his schooling, and, in 2007, he received a Canada Post Community Literacy Award for individual achievement, something for adult learners who have overcome barriers in learning to read and write. He’s also given workshops on adult learning, sharing his story and telling other people it can be done.

Survey: Parent raises privacy concerns and mental health records, vital statistics and perinatal records by other researchers, and it’s these details Ward wants parents to know about.

“It’s when I read the list of records they may link to – that’s when I was blown away,” Ward said.

The B.C. Civil Liberties Association couldn’t comment specifically on Ward’s complaint, but the group’s privacy expert and policy director Micheal Vonn had more broad-based concerns.

“We have a provincial government that is highly committed and has dedicated tremendous amount of money towards data linkages,” she said, citing examples like centralizing electronic health records and the integrated case management database, where the provincial government aims to share information across the social services sector.

“We’ve got a government that is committed to centralizing information from a vast number of ministries, and what this allows you to do in terms of creating dossiers on citizens is just unprecedented,” she said. “That is a privacy nightmare.”

Vonn said privacy has been protected by having information in different places.

“The minute you start trying to put them together, you create a great danger of prejudice occurring to people based on things that are not relevant to the service provision that they need.”

According to Vonn, in the UK, their databases on children will be used to try and figure out future criminality.

“What we do know is it takes an astonishingly little amount of information to be able to flag people,” she said.

No one from UBC’s ethics board or HELP was available for comment.

But, in the letter sent to parents, HELP stated that there are privacy professionals involved at all stages of collecting and storing data and that their policies and practices meet standards set by the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.

parents’ rights to informed consent.”

The survey is done by kindergarten teachers and asks questions on physical health and well-being, social knowledge and competence, emotional health and maturity, language and cognitive development, general knowledge and communication skills, and “special concerns,” such as behavioural problems, disabilities and medical issues.

The survey results are collected by the Human Early Learning Partnership, a government-funded research consortium of universities, based at UBC. The survey measures the state of early childhood development and helps determine if kindergarten kids are “vulnerable” or healthy and ready to start school.

The information goes into a secure, electronic databank. While the information is anonymous and never made public, HELP uses Personal Education Numbers of the kids for data linkage purposes.

Oil: Kinder Morgan plans to twin pipeline more sections of the existing line. The pipeline’s maximum capacity is now at 300,000 barrels a day, but the most it could handle if fully expanded is up to 700,000 barrels.

“We know we can’t get any more out of it than that,” Hobenshield said.

But, she added, they will likely expand to 80,000 barrels a day at first and possibly add more capacity, depending on demand.

The Wilderness Committee is raising concerns about the possible expansion.

“We will stand up and mobilize the already widespread opposition to Kinder Morgan’s pipeline plans,” said Ben West, the group’s healthy communities campaigner. “The threat of an oil spill is enough to convince most Vancouverites that this is a bad idea,

since none of us wants to see crude oil washing up on the beach as we walk around the seawall at Stanley Park.”

West said a pipeline expansion would make the existing threat of tanker traffic in Burrard Inlet “exponentially worse.”

“At a fundamental level, I think there’s a reason they are doing this so quietly. … I think the public would be opposed,” West said, adding he would like to see public consultation on the expansion.

Hobenshield said it’s important to know that Kinder Morgan has the same objectives.

“We don’t want to see an oil spill.

We don’t want that,” she said, adding they have lots of measures in place to ensure that doesn’t happen. jmoreau@burnabynow.com

He got married three years ago, and has an 18-month-old son, Vicente.

“I’m glad I waited because now I have the understanding and capability to raise a child right,” he says, while Vicente quietly amuses himself with a cellphone.

Mills is a stay-at-home dad, focusing on his schooling, while his wife works as an accountant.

Now that he’s literate, the fact he can read books to his child is great, he says.

“It’s not only the reading, it’s the emotional stability.”

Mills wants to share his story with others; it’s his way of helping. He has a selfpublished book coming out in a few weeks called I Could and I Did. “Life’s challenges can be overcome, and people deserve a chance,” he says. “What got me here (was) keeping my focus on

my goals and facing my fears.”

He also has advice for those facing similar situations as he did: “People should give themselves a chance if others won’t.”

Outside of the coffee shop, Mills prepares for the walk home to his Brentwood area apartment.

“I understand what it’s like to be raised in a broken home,” he says, as he helps Vicente into his tiny jacket. “I know what it’s like to be discouraged and people wanting to beat you down.

“I want my story out there to help others. I know what it’s like to be down and out, and it’s very hard to pull out of that,” he says. “And it’s good to hear that it can be done.”

Indeed, it is.

We couldn’t disagree more.

That’s why sketches of proceedings In fact, it is because our judicial are often used by larger newspapers;

OUR VIEW

system is one of the core pillars of our democracy that media should be allowed to broadcast, and take photos, in courthouses.

Our justice system is a frequent target of criticism. But most are unlikely to have ever seen the inside of a courtroom, let alone watched a trial unfold.

It’s worth noting that the ban on broadcasting audio and images from courthouses is government policy. The Supreme Court’s policy merely upholds it.

Attorney General (and ChilliwackHope MLA) Barry Penner has indicated that he is open to cameras in courtrooms.

But despite being the one man with the power to reverse the medieval policy, he hasn’t actually done anything about it.

Penner is known for his love of photo opportunities. Surely he wouldn’t argue that their omnipresence has detracted from his ability to perform his job.

It’s time for him to show the same lens love when it comes to courtroom cameras.

Focus attacks on facts, policies IN MY OPINION

I

Matthew Claxton

had my feet propped up on the coffee table, my backside firmly planted on the couch and a glass of water in hand.

My brain was in neutral, happily zoned out while the TV made stupid sitcom noises at me.

When the commercials began, I almost did a spit take.

A political attack ad? Did somebody topple Parliament and I missed it?

No, but the Tories are acting like an election is right around the corner.

The five years of minority government recently marked

by Prime Minister Stephen Harper have made all the parties twitchy. The NDP has built itself a new election war room. The Liberals are again talking about being ready to lead the country.

But it’s the Tories who are off to a false start. No, Mr. Harper, that was not the sound of a starter’s pistol you heard. Get back to the line. One more fault like that, and the voters might actually disqualify you.

There are several attack ads, but the first one I saw was the worst. It features a series of short,

out-of-context snippets from Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff’s speeches and writings, all played up to make it look like Iggy hates Canada.

After a black and red and white montage, we get a still shot of Ignatieff, with the grim-butambiguous statement: “Ignatieff.

He didn’t come back for you.”

The ads come in a couple of flavours, one which claims Iggy came back just to raise taxes, the other questioning his patriotism.

The net effect of watching them back-to-back is the suggestion that Ignatieff is a cross between Vladimir Lenin, Vidkun Quisling and a troll living under a bridge.

The most baffling part is when they quote Iggy as saying he wishes Canada was better.

Yeah, just what we need, a politician who wants to improve things. That’s wretched.

The Tories have also taken the time to make an ad attacking Jack Layton, NDP leader and chief moustache farmer.

This one ends with the ambiguous-but-grim line: “He did it before. He’ll do it again.”

This is in reference to attempted alliances with the Grits and the Bloc Quebecois to bring down the Tories, apparently.

Yeah, remind people there’s a possible coalition government out there!

What has Liberal-NDP cooperation ever given us?

Universal healthcare? Bah!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Teachers’ group ‘intransigent’

Dear Editor:

Re: Time to set politics aside, Letters to the editor, Burnaby NOW, Jan. 26; and Hayes slams tests, Burnaby NOW, Jan. 29.

So now, a show of support for the intransigence of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (that is not to say, a majority of teachers necessarily) – the president of the B.C. Principals and Vice-Principals’ Association, Jameel Aziz, claims it is time to change the Foundation Skills Assessment tests. In other words, they are abetting the teachers’ federation in their totally illegitimate attempts to disobey the directives of the Ministry of Education.

The teachers’ federation says the tests are used in a way that favours private, parochial and traditional

or heritage schools, and it seems, too, that school board chair Larry Hayes has now thrown in with this recalcitrant group. It seems to me that it is time, long past, for a general firing!

It appears that the teachers (I reiterate, an unknown percentage) keep dreaming up new ways of celebrating mediocrity.

Also, this professionally aggrieved group, when not busy propitiating homosexual behavior or encouraging our children to experiment in “safe” sex, seem not to be interested in encouraging them in numeracy or literacy skills.

Reporter Jennifer Moreau goes on to suggest that the Burnaby Teachers’ Association is also against the tests but makes no attempt (seemingly) to question individual teachers on what they might think.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Teachers off the mark continued from page 6

Of course, the B.C. Teachers’ Federation argues that the tests should not be made public because … well, because they know better than the parents what is best for their children. One wonders what kind of lesson is learned by these same students when they are sent home by their teachers with instructions on how they might avoid writing tests that are not seen as optional?

Keep water options open

Dear Editor:

I read with interest the article written by Jennifer Moreau that appeared in the Jan. 29 edition of Burnaby NOW, entitled “Students campaign to stop bottled water sales in city schools.”

In the piece, Ms. Moreau includes information provided by Metro Vancouver employee Peter Cech that is incorrect.

According to industry steward Encorp Pacific (www.encorp.ca), the recovery rate for plastic beverage containers was 75 per cent across British Columbia last year, meaning millions of empty water bottles did not end up in the landfill.

Also contrary to what was reported, recycled water bottles and other plastic beverage containers do become plastic beverage containers and food packaging as well as auto parts, carpeting, clothing and toys.

Montclair, Canada’s oldest bottled water brand, is packaged in 100 per cent recycled plastic. And, yes, plastic does break down over time.

Independent research firm Quantis International (www.quantis-intl.com) found that bottled water has the lightest carbon footprint of any bottled beverage, whether measured by water usage, plastic/oil use or greenhouse gas emissions.

A 2009 Toronto District School Board report enunciated the problems associated

with banning the sale of bottled water in schools. Board staff wrote that “students have access to 35 per cent of the water needed for proper hydration during the school day, ”and when bottled water was temporarily removed as part of their study into the matter, “of those students who normally purchased bottled water at school, 22 per cent drank nothing at all and those who substituted pop or soft drinks for water outnumbered those who chose milk or juice.”

Staff warned there is a direct link between hydration and brain function and “a mere two per cent drop in body water can trigger short-term fuzzy memory, trouble with basic math and difficulty focusing on a computer screen.”

Bottled water is proving to be particularly helpful at a time when the incidence of obesity and diabetes are on a significant increase amongst young Canadians born after 2000. More than 60 per cent of Canadians consume bottled water each and every day because it is a portable, accessible and healthy choice. They are not choosing bottled water over municipal tap water.

They are choosing bottled water over other bottled beverages that do not have the same health benefits as bottled water does.

While we are opposed to any banning of bottled water in Burnaby board of education facilities, we are not opposed to the use of filtered water filling stations or water fountains, as long as operating funds are in place to properly maintain both in accordance with local public health unit regulations. We simply believe staff and students have the right to select and consume the beverage of their choice, particularly one featuring the health and wellness attributes that water does. The decision should not be made for them.

All school board staff and students need to be encouraged to consume more water, whether from bottled or tap sources, to help them live more healthy lifestyles.

Politics: Ads a waste of money continued from page 6

Seriously, the Tories shouldn’t have wasted their money on these ads.

They’re far too personal, especially the one questioning Ignatieff’s patriotism.

Demonizing your opponents is preaching to the choir.

Die-hard Conservative supporters will nod along in agreement, but a swing voter is not going to watch this and think, “Yeah, that Ignatieff, he’s a jerk.”

They’re more likely to get mad at the bullies kicking sand in the skinny Liberal’s

face.

I’m most baffled because Ignatieff has largely been his own worst enemy over the last couple of years.

The Grits have barely come within shouting distance of the Tories in polling numbers. Ignatieff could easily win an election tomorrow, if his opponents were a damp cloth and a bag of road salt.

Sure, Iggy has a bit more charisma than Harper, but that doesn’t matter that much to Canadians.

We like our politicians clever and a bit nerdy. (Our

federal political leaders: Conservative – economist, think tank dork; Liberal – novelist, historian, Oxford teacher; NDP – political science major, policy wonk.)

The worst thing about all of this is that I suspect there won’t be an election at all. This is approximately the 1,943rd election scare since Harper first got elected five years ago. We’ve had one actual election in that time.

SFU prof eyes Burnaby-Douglas Kennedy Stewart enters race for NDP nomination Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

A second contestant has entered the race to replace Burnaby MP Bill Siksay.

SFU professor Kennedy Stewart announced this week he will seek the NDP nomination for the federal riding of Burnaby-Douglas, following Siksay’s December announcement that he is retiring after 25 years in politics.

Stewart was approached by the local candidate selection committee, which asked him to seek the nomination.

“I said yes because, first of all, I think I have strong links to the community. I want to do as much as I can for the people of Burnaby,” he said.

“The second thing is I think that it’s a really important election. ... I’m really concerned about the economy.”

Stewart described his politics as “pragmatic but progressive.”

He said he’s interested in the economy, education, housing and health

Maybe tomorrow, she’ll want to settle down, but for now, a skittish German shepherd just keeps moving on, in and around the Burnaby Mountain Golf Course.

The dog has been running free for nearly a month now after bolting from the home of its new owners, who live in the Greystone Village complex on Woodbrook Place in North Burnaby. They had adopted the dog from the SPCA. Jane Talbot, SPCA Burnaby branch manager, said they are doing everything they can to catch the dog.

“We currently have three traps set in the area – two in an area where the animal is seen most often and one in a vacant home where we know she’s found refuge,” said Talbot. “We put fresh food in the traps every day, and we monitor the traps at a minimum of two times a day, and then we also patrol the area.”

Talbot said the efforts of some nearby residents are hurting rather than helping the rescue operation.

“We have people in the community who are well-meaning, absolutely well-meaning, but they are continuing to feed the dog, so that reduces the likelihood that the dog will go into a trap when it has a food source,” she said. “This is hard for people.

They love animals and want to help, but

dogs know instinctively – this is a trap, and I don’t want to go in there.”

Frustration at the lack of progress is mounting among some concerned residents, who worry the dog could get hit on busy roads and isn’t getting the care should.

“There have been ample opportunities for the Burnaby SPCA to catch this dog during the day, and whenever I see the dog I call them immediately, but I have not been too impressed with their response,” wrote Greystone Village resident Brianne Patterson in an e-mail to the Burnaby NOW. “I am either told ‘Well, we only have one officer on, and he’s on the road right now’ or ‘Maybe try and corner the dog,’ which … is hard to do. It’s going to take a team, and it’s going to take more than just the SPCA doing a quick drive-by to catch this dog.”

Talbot said staff are doing their best.

“I can tell you I think about this dog in the middle of the night,” Talbot said with emotion. “We are doing everything we can within our resources to help this animal.

We receive phone calls daily where people see the dog, and we encourage people to continue to call us.”

She added that the new owners are also putting out food and water next to a blanket outside their home.

Anyone who has seen an unattended German shepherd in the North Burnaby area is urged to call 604- 291-7201.

Get a deal on dog licences Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

It’ll cost $10 less to get Fido licensed this month than it will after March 1.

Burnaby, like other cities in the region, is providing pet owners with a discount if they buy their licences before the cut-off date.

“It’s just to get people to come in to buy them earlier,” explained Dan Layng, superintendent of proper use coordination for the city’s licensing department.

Licence fees in Burnaby went up Jan. 1 after a decade of no increases, but they will be $20 more than last year after February.

Dog licences have been set at $15 for spayed or neutered dogs, and $40 for pets that have not been fixed, since March 2000.

Fees will be $35 for neutered or spayed dogs, and $60 for animals that have not been fixed as of March 1.

The city has gotten a few calls about the increase, Layng said, but most people are understanding when they realize the rates haven’t been raised in 10 years.

“We’re still below average,” he pointed out. “(And) we’re not waiting 10 years to do it again.”

People are happy to hear that, Layng said.

Burnaby is still charging slightly less than other municipalities for licences for animals that have not been spayed or neutered, said Craig Collis, Burnaby’s chief licence inspector, in a NOW article last October. The city will be looking at increasing fees incrementally on an annual basis from now on, Collis said.

The fees provide support to animal control, specifically services provided by the B.C. SPCA – operating the city’s animal shelter, enforcing bylaws, investigating animal attacks, caring for injured animals and removing dead animals from city streets, as well as selling dog licences.

Even with the increase, the fees only cover about a quarter of the city’s animal control costs, Collis added.

The B.C. SPCA had its contract with the city renewed in June for three more years.

The contract, which runs until December 2012, pays the B.C. SPCA $494,320 annually for services as the city’s shelter operator.

Residents looking to buy a dog licence can do so at the SPCA office, at Burnaby City Hall or through some veterinary clinics in the city, Layng said.

New city child-care centre opens Burnaby parents have another place to get child care for their kids, now that the city has officially opened Cameron Children’s Centre.

The centre has space for eight infants, 12 toddlers and 24 preschoolers, and the Lower Mainland Purpose Society operates the centre on behalf of the city.

Mayor Derek Corrigan was at the centre on Tuesday, Feb. 1 for the official opening.

The centre is the third child-care space developed for the city as part of its community amenity program, where developers get city permission to build more units in exchange for giving up space or money for community groups.

The Cameron Children’s Centre was built, equipped and furnished by developer Ledingham-McAllister at its residential development at the intersection of

Cameron Street and North Road.

The city now owns five child-care centres that provide licensed child-care spaces for 232 children.

“This beautiful new child-care centre demonstrates the city’s commitment to supporting Burnaby families and children in their search for quality child-care options that best suit their personal circumstances,” said Coun. Paul McDonell in

a media statement.

The Cameron Children’s Centre is at 9838 Cameron St. Although the official opening was Feb. 1, the centre has been operating for about a year already.

To enquire about available space, call the Lower Mainland Purpose Society at 604-526 2522.

Blog keeps an eye on sustainability in Burnaby HERE & NOW

I

Jennifer Moreau

came across a local blog that inspired me to start a new feature in my column. Each week or so, I’ll post a description of a cool or interesting local blog that readers can check out to learn more about Burnaby.

The first is from UniverCity Neighbours for Environmental

Sustainability, a group of local nature lovers interested in protecting the environment.

Vivian Sorensen does most of the writing and has lived in the UniverCity development close to SFU since 2006. Lois Cohen is another contributor, and both bloggers are active with the Stoney Creek Environment Committee, the volunteer group that helps restore habitat for fish.

The blog is mostly about sustainable ecological planning around the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area and UniverCity. There are

posts on streamkeeping in the area, damage to trees, and issues with stormwater drains, which lead to fish-bearing streams. (Just a reminder: Never dump anything down storm drains, as they lead to fish habitat. We’ve reported on enough chemical spills and dead fish in our local streams for now, thank you very much.)

To check out the blog, visit univercityenviro stewards.org.

If you have a blog that speaks to life in Burnaby and you want it featured in this column, send me a link: jmoreau@burnaby now.com. Include a brief

bio and a short description of the blog’s focus.

Space for peace

You may want to wait till the weather is warmer, but local resident Hamid Farahani has created a front-yard space where neighbours can gather in North Burnaby.

Farahani covered his lawn with more than 20,000 river rocks to create a sort of stone garden with water features – all to promote world peace.

“I did it for the neighbours,” he said.

Anyone in the neighbourhood can come by and use Farahani’s lawn

Hymns for babies Andrew Fleming staff reporter

The local Danish Lutheran Church has begun offering a unique new service that first debuted in Denmark.

Beginning Feb. 12, the Kincaid Street church in Burnaby will be offering hymn singing sessions for babies up to 12 months that take advantage of the church’s acoustics and warm setting.

“Hymns for Babies introduces traditional singing with simple gestures so that baby and parent together can get an experience of the special church sound and environment,” said Pastor Bodil Toftdahl. “This is the first time this program has been offered in Canada.”

Toftdahl said the program was given a test drive in the fall after she approached a member of her congregation who minored in music at university, Karina Thomas, about trying out the program.

“I’m half-Danish myself and have lived in Denmark for a few years,” said Thomas. “(Toftdahl) has a granddaughter who’s done Hymns for Babies in Denmark, and when she asked if I’d be interested in

getting a similar program up and running, I said absolutely.”

People interested in participating needn’t have a Danish background. In fact, they don’t even need to be practising Christians, just people who want to provide a positive experience for their infants, and all new parents are welcome to attend.

“We sing the first verses of well-known hymns in English, we have simple dances that we do with the mums and the babies, we blow bubbles for them, we have colourful scarves,” said Thomas. “It provides

some visual stimulation and kinds of tries to cradle the mood of these hymns.”

Toftdahl said the sessions so far have gone wonderfully.

“The effect on the babies has been simply amazing,” said Toftdahl. “They are on blankets surrounded by all these mothers, and it is all just so soothing.”

For now, the church plans on offering a total of five Hymns for Babies sessions on Saturdays every two weeks. They begin a 1 p.m. and last roughly 45 minutes. Call 604-298-6112 or e-mail office@danish church.vancouver.bc.ca.

Nordic art exhibition coming LIVELY CITY

Julie MacLellan

H

ere’s one for all you artists and photographers out there – in particular those of Nordic heritage or whose work reflects Nordic themes.

The Scandinavian Community Centre has issued a call for artists for its Nordic art and photography exhibit and sale, set for Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 26 and 27.

Artists and photographers are invited to enter mounted two- and threedimensional works.

The event is non-juried, an artists may show up to four framed works for a hanging fee of $6 each and up to six unframed, matted works for table display for $3 each. Sold works can be replaced free.

Or, if you’d like to rent a table to display as much of your work as you choose, it’s $25.

The Scandinavian

Cultural Society keeps a 25 per cent commission.

An artists’ reception is set for 11:30 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 26, with about 100 dignitaries and guests expected to be in attendance.

There will also be a free folk-orchestra concert, and free coffee and snacks will be offered.

Featured artists this year are Aaslaug Boulier, a North Vancouver artist who paints in oil; and Vancouver-based photographer Roberta Holden.

The show is free.

Artists must apply by Feb. 15.

Forms are available at the Scandinavian Community Centre website, www.scandinavian centre.org, or by calling 604-294-2777.

The Scandinavian Community Centre is at 6540 Thomas St. in Burnaby.

Valentine’s treats

It’s a Valentine’s threesome at Shadbolt Centre

for the Arts.

The centre is offering up a Valentine’s extravaganza with three nights out on Feb. 11, 12 and 14.

On Feb. 11, at 8 p.m., enjoy CSI: Burnaby, a night of improv with Roman Danylo.

The comedian, familiar from CTV’s Comedy Inc., offers up a show packed full of sketches, improv comedy and a title parody sketch featuring Roman impersonating David Caruso, cracking a case that could only happen in Burnaby.

On Feb. 12, also at 8 p.m., you can enjoy Spring Breakup, featuring the talents of Yukon singersongwriter Kim Barlow, alongside Mathias Kom, singer-songwriter for the Ontario-based folk-orchestra The Burning Hell.

“With tongues only partially in their cheeks, this banjo and ukulele duo write pretty little folk songs about the inevitable end of love, laugh at their repeated mistakes and

sometimes even cry – when nobody is looking,” a press release says.

On Valentine’s Day itself – that’s Monday, Feb. 14, for the non-romantics out there who may have forgotten – you can enjoy the next offering in the Black Box Film Series.

Appropriately, it’s Lovely, Still, a movie by Nicholas Fackler that stars Martin Landau and Ellen Burstyn.

It’s a story of romance that begins as an awkward encounter between a lonely man and an unexpected stranger in his house.

It screens at 7 p.m.

For more or to buy tickets, check out the website at www.shadboltcentre. com or call the box office at 604-205-3000.

Impressive Mazda5 fast fowards to 2012 David Chao and Bob McHugh

NOW contributors

The New Year that Mazda5 buyers are already celebrating is 2012. Yes, Mazda has skipped the 2011 model year entirely, and early buyers of the new 2012 edition of its Mazda5 get what amounts to a bonus year as a current-year vehicle.

While it looks and acts like a small minivan, Mazda5 is actually classified as a compact car/wagon, and it’s based on the Mazda3 platform. In addition to its obvious advantages of having a smaller vehicle when it comes to parking and general use in a busy urban setting, the Mazda5 offers excellent fuel economy.

Powered by a new 2.5-litre, four-cylinder engine that produces 157 horsepower (replacing a 153-h.p., 2.3-litre), a new six-speed manual transmission is standard and a five-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission is optional ($1,200).

The 2012 Mazda5 is offered in two trim levels, GS and GT. The base retail price is $21,795, and for that you get a well-equipped van with climate control air conditioning, power windows, locks and mirrors and a tilt and telescopic steering wheel with audio controls.

The looks

While its basic shape and dimensions are unchanged, the new styling theme

was inspired by its nagare design culture, which means “flow” in Japanese. It’s most evident along the side panels, where swirling body creases have a sculpted by the wind appearance that adds to an overall sense of motion.

The inside

Inside it remains as spacious as before and comes with three rows of flexible seating for six. The seating is tiered (theatre-style) to give all occupants better forward vision. The third row is designed as an occasional use seating position that flows flat when not in use.

Safety

In addition to a standard electronic stability control system, the Mazda5 comes with dual front and side airbags for first-row passengers and side air curtains that protect occupants in all three rows of seats.

The drive

You really have to drive the Mazda5 to get a full appreciation of the finer points of this great little vehicle. It starts with a great driving position that’s more car-like and an instrument panel directly in front, yet you’re seated higher. Taller than average drivers may have an issue with legroom.

Driver sight lines are generally very

Practical: The Mazda5 offers a fun and fuel-efficient option for those looking for a small wagon or van-like vehicle.

good with special thanks to a large back window and big side mirrors, although a backup camera would still be helpful.

A highlight of the new Mazda5 is undoubtedly the new MRZ 2.5-litre engine that offers higher performance yet better fuel efficiency than the previous 2.3-litre engine.

My test Mazda5 came with the fivespeed electronically controlled automatic,

which also provides manual shift control.

Despite its long wheelbase, Mazda5 has an impressively tight turn circle of just 11.2 metres.

The score

The 2012 Mazda5 is a great little passenger van that’s fun to drive and a secret whose time may have arrived. It’s waiting to be rediscovered.

The Burnaby Lake Rugby Club won a firsttime Palmer Cup last Saturday.

The annual contest between Burnaby and the Vancouver Meraloma club was started 11 years ago in honour of a Burnaby Lake member who passed away.

The cup is awarded to the club with the highest aggregate score from both the fall and spring matchups between the two sides.

On Saturday, Burnaby Lake premiers drew 16-16 on two comeback tries by the Vancouver side.

In the match, Burnaby took a 16-6 lead on a try

by Anthony Luca, set up nicely by backrow forward Colin Mackenzie’s pickand-go that was stopped just short of the line. James Gough booted three penalty goals and a conversion for Burnaby.

The tie gave Burnaby Lake a valuable point against last season’s league runner-up and playoff finalist.

The thirds beat the Lomas 24-14.

Veendam announced on its website Tuesday that Marrello has a contract for the rest of the

season, following a successful trial with the team in Turkey.

“I never forgot about my goal of playing in Europe and knew if I ever got the chance, I’d be ready and it has worked out,” he said in a telephone interview from Veendam.

The talented Alpha Secondary grad faced a classic Canadian soccer dilemma when he was a teenager. Do you take a shot with a European club team or stay in North America and go to university?

Marrello took the university route, graduating with a com-

munications degree from the University of Buffalo last year.

“University can be a little bit safer but when you’re done, you’re at an age where it’s a lot more difficult to make that professional jump,” he said. “I’m happy things worked out for me.

I got my education and had a good experience with college soccer.”

Marrello spent four months training with another secondtier Dutch club – SC Cambuur – before earning a three-day trial with Veendam in late December.

Brutal winter weather forced

the three-day trial into a one-day indoor session, but the club liked what it saw and invited him to train with the team in Turkey.

The 5-7, 155-pound Marrello is an effective holding midfielder and is most comfortable in a centre position but can play anywhere in midfield if needed.

He suited up for Veendam on Monday but remained on the bench.

Marrello played for B.C. provincial teams in his youth career and also saw action with Canadian U-17 and U-20 squads.

His national U-17 coach was cur-

rent senior men’s national coach Stephen Hart.

University of B.C. men’s soccer coach Mike Mosher, who coached Marrello at the 2009 World Student Games in Serbia, said Marrello can be relied upon game in and game out.

“He’s a good, honest, hardworking player who’s pretty secure on the ball,” he said. “I know he never gave up on his dream to play at the professional level and it’s great to see him get this chance.”

Midget Giants over toughest remaining hurdle

CLAN WRESTLING

SFU women nab national mat titles

Three Simon Fraser University wrestlers won national titles at the Women’sCollegeWrestling Association championships.

Victoria Anthony, Helen Maroulis and Danielle Lappage each won their respective weight divisions to boost the Clan team to 96 points and second place overall. Oklahoma City took the overall title with 117 points.

Anthony took the 48kilogram group with pins in all three of her matches.

Maroulis won four straight matches at 55 kg, including a 7-1, 1-2, 2-1 victory over OCU’s Michaela Hutchison in the final.

Lappage also won all three of her preliminary bouts before scoring a 50, 9-2 decision over King College’s Alli Ragan in the 63-kg final.

Daphne-Ann Hodgson and Hillary Greening both earned silver medals in their respective 44kg and 90kg finals.

Story line

Justina DiStasio and Laura Gordon both placed fourth, while teammates Michiko Araki, Tessa Ma and Jenna McLatchy finished in fifth place. Chloe Ivanoff and Taylor Dick also earned All-American status with a sixth-place finish.

Downing No. 11

Big wins by Skylor Davis and Clete Hanson helped the Simon Fraser University men’s wrestling team down NAIA No. 11ranked Southern Oregon in a dual meet Jan. 27.

The Clan won six of the 10 bouts, including a narrow 4-3 decision by Arminder Virk in the 174pound division.

Davis scored a 9-0 win over Tyler Lander at 125lbs., while Hanson won a relatively easy 7-3 contest over NAIA All-American Ron Lee. Davis is currently ranked No. 8 nationally.

Four of the bouts were forfeited, with three going in SFU’s favour.

Steelers win over Wolf Pack The Grandview Steelers defeated conference doormat Squamish Wolf Pack 5-1 at Burnaby Winter Club last Sunday.

The Northwest Giants can see a glimmer of light at the end of the B.C. major midget hockey league tunnel.

The Giants finished arguably the toughest segment of their remaining schedule, taking seven of a possible eight points from two of the toughest competing teams in the past two weeks.

The Giants edged fourth-place Greater Vancouver Canadians 4-3 last Saturday and then drew 3-3 on Sunday in a weekend series at Burnaby Winter Club.

League scoring leader Alex Kerfoot scored a natural hat trick, including the eventual game-winning tally, in a five-goal second period.

Mitch Fyffe started the middle-period rally with his eighth goal of the year.

The second period was another big period in Sunday’s matchup. Trailing 2-0 after one period, Sam Reinhart sparked a three-goal rally with a pair of back-to-back goals. Fyffe gave the Giants a momentary 3-2 lead with his second goal in as many games.

Greater Vancouver salvaged a single point with a goal in the final frame from Malcolm Glaholt.

The Burnaby-based Giants currently lead the pack with 22 wins and 49 points, one better than the Valley West Hawks. The Giants also have two games in hand over the remaining top four clubs.

Next up for the Giants is a two-game series with the 10th-place Kootenay Ice in Nelson.

Hockey Clan draws with leaders Simon Fraser University drew 3-3 with B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League leading Thompson Rivers University Jan. 29. Defenceman Kyle Boyko scored the game-tying goal for the Clan club on the power play with less than four minutes remaining in the game.

“We’ll see,” Richardson said. “We might not be working that hard that night.”

Doors open at the club at 6 p.m. The draft is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.

Cancer June 21-July 22: The emphasis lies on mysteries, sex, intimacy, research, large finances, lifestyle, crucial health matters, commitment – anything that can change your life deeply (usually another person is involved). This month, these changes tend to work through your ambitions, career, or status situations. E.g., a “status” wedding changes your life and finances. Or a career opportunity demands a commitment (of $?) from you, and will change your life. (Your career is marked by splendid luck this winter/spring.) Charge ahead SundayWednesday (a happy day!). Retreat, rest, plan Friday eve, Saturday.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Relationships, relocation, dealings with the public, fame, negotiations, litigation, agreements, opportunities and opposition – these fill February. This week, especially Sunday to Tuesday, emphasizes the source of this winter/spring’s good luck: legal, loving, intellectual, international and cultural scenes. Work, health and your duties or ambitions might interfere – these are heading for a deep change and “rebirth.” (It centres on Wednesday, but could occur anytime in February.) Chase your ambitions Wednesday, but avoid conflict, aggression Thursday. Joy, friends, Friday/Saturday!

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Work’s essential – get it done. Your efforts, duties (and perhaps health) are tied up with an influence of deep change this month, especially this Sunday to Tuesday. This can manifest as: a sexual affair with a co-worker, investment in your job or tools/machinery, or changes brought about by your job or health – all are agents of change – beneficial change. Money goes better than romance right now. A gentle love floats in Wednesday, but irritation dissipates affection Thursday. (DON’T invest or make big changes this day.) Be ambitious Friday eve, Saturday – success accompanies you!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: The emphasis is on romance, creativity, beauty, luck, risk, pleasure, charming kids, sports/games. You’re riding a winning streak – recognize and use it, seize on openings, issue invitations, respond, speak what’s in your heart, etc.

Take a chance! The source of your January-to-June luck is highlighted Sunday afternoon through Tuesday: relationships, relocation, negotiation, agreements and contracts, litigation, co-operation. Clue: everything in the first sentence will aid these; but security, property, family will “fight” them. These, security, property, etc., are about to transform.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Be gentle on the home front – spend energy on renovations, repairs, rather than causing family friction. Think back and ahead: decide who should stay in your life, who should leave. Your choices will affect your health and your duties, for good or ill. Your work will expand for the next four months – clues arrive Sunday to Tuesday.

Quiet discussions and administrative contacts benefit your efforts, but more adventurous communications (especially of love or competition) will erect barriers to work success – take heed Thursday. Mysteries, intimacy and finances succeed Friday eve, Saturday.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Romance, creativity and a risk-taking mood steal upon you Sunday afternoon to Tuesday – take that risk! But realize money and confidence aid romance/creativity more than wishful thinking does. You might have some puzzles to work out around these: romance, pleasure, money and work.Work definitely faces you Wednesday (success) and Thursday (when work interferes with romance’s communications, or might be dangerous – practise safety). Exciting meetings (and some a bit more stable, boring, with other generations) arrive Friday eve/Saturday: love’s possible! All month, money’s lucky.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Lie low, rest Sunday morning. This afternoon to Tuesday your energy and charisma surge – a bit of big luck could come, maybe involving home, relationships or money. (However, don’t push authorities.) Chase money Wednesday to Friday noon – but take care with purchases. Your hopes and your money resources (earnings level, savings) are in conflict – find reality. You might sense, or be offered, a career or status “partnership.” It’s subtle, you have to be intuitive or watch clues. Friday eve, Saturday bring errands, casual friends, curiosity and variety – read, write, talk.

Taurus April 20-May 20: The emphasis lies on ambition, career, prestige relationships, your reputation and status. Elements of fantasy/deception, creative ideas and impatient bosses crowd this zone.

If you deal with government, large corporations, institutions or charitable agencies, “impatient bosses” will be less of a factor. Be willing, quick to respond – and keep your sense of humour (especially Thursday!). Use Sunday eve through Tuesday for research and planning – get plenty of rest. Your energy surges Wednesday to Friday: display your skills, work hard. Excellent purchases Friday eve, Saturday.

Gemini May 21-June 20: The accent lies on gentle love, compassion, broad vision, law, higher education, publishing, far travel and cultural rituals.

February 5/6’s sober, realistic love wish is almost sure to come true. But a “sweet confection” love wish, involving beauty, and perhaps involving a Libra or Taurus, is less likely to come true. (Some “destiny” lies in wait for this one – either a wipe-out, or a deep rebirth.) In other ways, Sunday to Tuesday brings wish fulfillment, social delights and happiness. Rest, lie low Wednesday/Thursday. You shine, succeed and attract others, Friday eve, Saturday!

Feb. 6 - Feb. 12 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Chase money, buy/ sell, seek lucrative clients – but most importantly (as Sunday to Tuesday might whisper to you) pursue the connection between security and money: e.g., buy or sell real estate, start a retirement fund, put away funds for your children’s education, purchase insurance, spend on new business premises or to expand your territory. Ending unprofitable or stale situations is also a wise move financially. Romance and pleasure call Wednesday (successfully) and Thursday (not – beware “wasted money”). Tackle chores Friday eve, Saturday: you’re ambitious, productive!

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness are at a peak! Start important projects, seek favours, call in markers, show yourself in person. You’re very communicative, curious and travel-prone this month – these are emphasized Sunday to Tuesday. A Libra and a Gemini are attracted – the Libran is very serious. A Leo wants to spar – and join. Attend to domestic matters, family and security, property and “territory” Wednesday to Friday afternoon. Don’t be overbearing Thursday p.m.

Romance, creative surges and the urge to take a big chance arrive Friday eve, Saturday – yes, plunge in!

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Rest, lie low, contemplate, plan. Be charitable, spiritual. Attend to obligations, committee and administrative chores. (Do taxes?) You will want to be free of these in two weeks when your energy and money luck will soar upward.

Let much of your planning involve finances. Money, earnings and possession are highlighted Sunday p.m. through Tuesday – let realism rule fantasy and wishful thinking. Your wishes, however, do have a destined road ahead – something is wiped out or born this week; it changes your future. Careful with money Thursday. Deep rest, good family Saturday. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
