Buyers find mice in bread?

Two families in Burnaby say they took home loaves of bread that had stowaway mice in them Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

The Burnaby NOW has received two complaints of store-bought bread loaves that appear to have been chewed through by mice within a week of each other.

The first case, reported by Vincent Singh, involved a loaf of Wonder bread bought from Zellers in Brentwood Town Centre on May 2. Singh is convinced that a mouse had burrowed inside the loaf of bread and was brought into his home from Zellers.

According to Singh, his mom bought the bread on May 2, brought it home and put it in the pantry of their Brentwood area home. Later that day, his wife made a sandwich and discovered a hole in the bread. There was a hole in the bag and in the middle of the loaf.

“I opened up the pantry and saw the mouse,” Singh said. The mouse escaped and hid in his oven, which Singh proceeded to damage as he killed the mouse.

Singh said he’s never had a rodent problem in his home and is insistent the mouse was a stowaway from Zellers.

“There’s no way a mouse would have eaten a loaf of bread, from front to back, in four hours,” he said. “It was living in the loaf.”

Singh called Zellers to complain.

Living art blooms in city Spring gardens are blooming, and soon Burnaby’s gigantic beasts will follow.

The city’s eco-sculptures will be on display in Central Park next weekend.

“The eco-sculpture program in general is a celebration of horticulture, art and the environment,” said Melinda Yong, the city’s environmental technician. “People see these things and are fascinated.”

The sculptures are giant frames in the shapes of animals. They are filled with

The sculptures will be on display in Central Park for anyone interested in seeing them all in one spot before the city places them throughout Burnaby.

This year, there will be horses, bees, bears, eagles and salmon, scattered throughout the city. The horses go to the Burnaby Village Museum, the bees are from Century

Garden at Deer Lake, the bears from the Burnaby Mountain Golf Course, the eagles are from the Bill Copeland Sports Centre, and the salmon are from Southwest Marine Drive.

Yong said the animals are chosen to highlight local environmental issues.

To check out the eco-sculptures, visit Central Park Saturday, May 29 and Sunday, May 30.

Student wins hybrid bus for her school Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Students at Burnaby North Secondary could soon be riding to school in a hybrid bus, thanks to Jennifer Hao. The 16-year-old Grade 10 student won the top prize in the Canada’s Greenest School contest – a new hybrid bus from IC Bus. Hao learned she was the winner in a surprise announcement on May 18.

“I was really shocked, I had no idea,” she said. Hao wants the bus to be used for field trips. She also wants to start morning- and afterschool rides for students.

“I hope more people use the bus than driving cars.

It’s better, more sustainable transportation,” she said.

To win, Hao submitted an essay outlining her school’s commitment to going green.

Members of the public voted for their favourite entries online, and Hao came out on top out of 10 finalists

from across the country.

Hao will receive $3,000 toward her education, $500 in school supplies for her classroom and the bus, which is valued at $200,000.

The school also gets an audit to see how green the buildings are.

“I’m really passionate about the environment in general, and I believe to do stuff you have to start small.

The best place to start would be my very own school,” Hao said.

Burnaby North principal Lynn Archer said the school and the district still have to figure out who will take ownership of the bus.

The district doesn’t normally own school buses, but they hire them to get kids to field trips and hockey games.

“I can see great possibilities,” said Archer. “I see it having bigger ramifications than just a bus.”

Hao’s win was announced in an assembly of about 100 students.

Mice: Rodent in bread ‘an extremely isolated case’ continued from page 1

According to Singh, the store manager maintained there was no problem with the store and asked him to throw the mouse in the garbage, which Singh refused to do.

Singh also contacted the claims department for Zellers.

“They wanted to offer me a $100 gift card and a loaf of bread,” Singh said, adding he refused. “It was insulting.”

Singh went over his list of demands with the NOW: He wants his stove fixed or replaced, he wants the store manager to visit his home and apologize, he wants the tongs and the broom handle he used to kill the mouse and all the food the mouse ran over replaced, and he wants a new loaf of bread.

Singh also contacted the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and Fraser Health.

The NOW contacted Zellers, which referred calls to Edelman, the store’s public relations firm. The NOW asked where the bread came from, if the store had past problems with mice in the bread and if it was possible that the mice problem was with Wonder bread’s manufacturer and not Zellers.

Edelman responded with the following statement: “We take pride in offering customers a clean atmosphere within our stores and are taking this isolated incident 6

very seriously. We are working with health authorities and our supplier partner to look into the matter. The health and safety of our customers and associates has always been top priority for Zellers, and we remain committed to delivering a positive experience and quality products in each of our stores across the country.”

Edelman said it was an isolated incident – there had been no past cases of mice in the bread – and that the Zellers has a pest control company that comes in and does regular, ongoing work.

Fraser Health spokesperson Roy Thorpe confirmed that they investigated Zellers following Singh’s call. They did find a mouse in a trap but no food contamination or evidence of an infestation, Thorpe said. A followup visit showed the store had made some changes. According to Thorpe, everything was clean, and Zellers is doing “enhanced trapping,” as far as pest control goes. They didn’t find any evidence of mice in the bread, but it was moved to a higher shelf as an extra precaution, he said.

According to Thorpe, there is no food safety concern, but they will keep an eye on the store.

Fraser Health had no other recent reports of bread chewed out by mice, but the Burnaby NOW did. On May 8, Theresa Wong’s husband bought a loaf of Wonder

bread from Buy-Low foods on Royal Oak Avenue. The next day, Wong discovered something strange.

“I pulled (two slices) out of the bag and found a gaping hole in the middle of both, the diameter of a loonie,” she wrote in an email to the NOW. “It looked like something had chewed through it. … I checked the outside of the bag to find the same-sized hole in the bag, with tiny bite/chew marks around the hole of the bag.”

Like Singh, Wong said she was sure she did not have mice in her home.

Wong called Buy-Low to complain but said she was brushed off. The NOW spoke with the store’s manager, Rick Chapelsky.

When asked twice if the store had any past problems with mice, he replied that they have a pest control program.

“We’re going to step up on the vigilance,” Chapelsky said. “I’m hugely disappointed that customer found this loaf.”

Chapelsky said the bread came from Weston Bakeries, but he wasn’t sure if the problem was mice at the store or with the manufacturer.

The NOW contacted Weston Bakeries, the company that makes Wonder bread.

Spokesperson Geoff Wilson said they had not heard of any complaints from the customers, Buy-Low or Zellers regarding the bread in question. Unless they get their hands on the chewed bread to conduct their own analysis, it’s impossible to say where the mice came from. All of the Wonder bread in B.C. comes from a plant in Langley. Wilson said they checked the plant for pests, and everything looked OK. They also scan the bread and look for problems before distribution.

“There’s a remote possibility it would get through our controls,” he said.

As far as complaints of live mice found in loaves of bread, Wilson has only heard of one similar case in about 20 years.

“Food safety and product quality are our highest priority,” Wilson said. “This is an extremely isolated case.”

OUR VIEW

In Great Britain, MPs were running for cover when the press found out that one of them had tried claiming moatcleaning expenses. Closer to home, in Nova Scotia, one politician tried claiming a $738 espresso machine.

In times when every government dollar has to be spent wisely, those types of expenses are unacceptable.

If Fraser wants to look into possible misuse of money, she should be given a wide berth to see if any of our federal MPs are abusing the system. Those who

have nothing to hide have nothing to fear.

Julian, a former financial administrator himself, knows that while audits are often painful, they are necessary, especially if it helps the public know that their money isn’t being wasted.

We think the board of internal economy should reverse its stand and let Fraser do her job.

After all, she won’t find any moatcleaning expenses or espresso machines, will she?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR HST will help British Columbia

Dear Editor:

Mr. Brian J. O’Neill, in his letter to the editor on May 8 (Backbench MLAs were kept in the dark), is skeptical about the estimated effect of the HST on lower-income families, because, he claimed, it was from a hotbed of right-wing theorists.

That was actually based on Statistics Canada data.

Economists from all political spectra essentially agree that the HST is a good tax reform.

The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA), widely considered as a think-tank for the NDP, published a report titled “Not a Tax Grab After All” last December, and even CCPA econo-

mist Marc Lee stated in principle a harmonized tax would be a good idea.

The NDP government in Nova Scotia embraced the HST as well.

This harmonization played a major role in helping Nova Scotia rebound its economy.

It is evident that the NDP in B.C. cannot decide what to do with the HST. That is why they are looking for leadership from the B.C. Conservatives, who flip-flop on the HST. Thanks to the letter to the editor from Kathy Corrigan and Raj Chouhan on May 8 (Is MLA misleading the public?) for confirming that the HST is not in the B.C.

were opposed to a harmonized sales tax.”

It is true that in the reply to a letter from the B.C. Restaurant and Food Association there are concerns regarding HST, but certainly HST was not in the party platform or the distributed campaign materials, and there were neither promise to oppose it nor promise not to implement it in the election campaign.

If Ms. Corrigan and Mr. Chouhan listened to the month-long debates in the legislative assembly, they should have realized that the consideration of the HST was made after the election, because of all the options and flexibility being offered by the federal government, including the provincial government’s ability to adjust the rate, which is part of the concerns.

After one month of debate in the legislative assembly, it is my understanding that the Opposition did not propose any extension of the debate after our house leader announced the debate schedule.

I believe that the people of Burnaby North elected me to work on keeping our economy strong. HST is a policy that will make B.C. more competitive, increase investment and create more jobs.

Under the B.C. Liberal government, British Columbians earning less than $118,000 a year are paying the lowest personal income tax in Canada. We will pay the lowest HST in the country, and small business will pay no provincial income tax soon.

I hope the NDP will stop claiming that before the 2009 election the B.C. Liberals promised the HST would not be implemented.

Continuing to do so is indeed mislead-

ing the public.

Richard T. Lee, MLA, Burnaby North

Has multi-sports centre project been abandoned?

Dear Editor:

I drove past the abandoned sports excellence project near Burnaby Lake on the weekend.

Nothing is happening, and there is no sign anything will happen soon.

The site has been shut down for approximately a year-and-a-half.

There is an abandoned construction crane in the middle of the site and a lot of half-built structures.

I don’t know why the project is not proceeding, but I don’t buy the developer’s story that he is waiting until he has completed more leasing.

I was told a year ago that the city had been paid under the lease, but I wonder if that is still the case and if the developer owes the city money for anything else.

By my rough estimate the cost of the construction to date is over $2 million, and someone is paying for the crane and other equipment on the site.

I would like some answers respecting this project.

When will construction restart, and, if it doesn’t, what happens then?

Does the city have the right to cancel the lease, and, if it does, who pays to complete the project or remove what has been built to date?

What is there now is a real eyesore and can’t be left there indefinitely.

The city needs to show leadership on this issue and ensure the public’s interest is protected.

Garth M. Evans, Burnaby

Vote: Idea raises serious questions continued from page 6

local elections.

In fact, nowhere else in the world has such an assault on democratic rights been allowed or even contemplated.

Mr. Bonney must have done a lot of Googling to come up with one meek example of London, to put up as a rationale for the idea of corporate vote.

Mr. Bonney was not thorough enough in his search, though, as he appears to have missed the fact that the City of London Corporation is a unique form of local government that provides services within just one square mile for the finan-

cial and commercial centre of Britain.

The corporation has only 9,000 residents but has 340,000 workers that come into the city daily. It is unlike any local government in B.C. The idea of corporate vote is not only anti-democratic, it will, if adopted, spawn serious issues that will go way beyond local elections.

For example, if paying taxes is the only prerequisite to get the right to vote, why would not ordinary shareholders of corporations be able to vote in provincial or federal elections?

Why could corporate

giants such as Costco, Home Depot and WalMart not demand similar privileges under the NAFTA? Further, why should such voting rights be not extended beyond the corporations?

Similar arguments can indeed be made for all entities, such as unions, charity foundations, community organizations, private clubs, etc. who rent, lease or own property.

Where would it end?

I am with the majority of British Columbians on this.

Audit: Auditor general turned down continued from page 8

printing, telephone costs, office furniture and equipment and a category called “other.”

In fact, on Julian’s, Donnelly’s and Burnaby-Douglas MP Bill Siksay’s individual websites, each has a link to the 68-page MP expenses document for the period from April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009. (Donnelly’s expenses aren’t on these forms because he didn’t take office until October 2009, when he won a byelection to replace Dawn Black.

Black’s expenses are included on the document).

Fraser has argued the current auditing system isn’t good enough. She says her team of auditors would go deeper to ensure taxpayers are getting good value for the more than $500 million in public money spent annually on MPs’ expenses.

On May 14, she accepted, for now, the board’s decision, but in a letter to the Speaker of the House of Commons, she reiterated that her mandate covers “the accounts of Canada,” which to her includes money received and spent by members of Parliament.

Ujjal Dosanjh and Joyce Murray, both Liberal MPs in B.C., said they had no reason to question the board’s decision. Dosanjh, who represents Vancouver South, reiterated that the House of Commons “looks at every receipt that goes in.”

The decision to reject Fraser’s request for such an invitation comes on the heels of political expense scandals that rocked

Britain and Nova Scotia. While the moatcleaning expense by a British MP has received the most media attention, a representative in Nova Scotia tried putting in a claim for a $738 espresso machine.

The Bloc Québécois said it supported the idea of Fraser’s request but was overruled inside during the closed-door discussions of the board.

“We are completely open to having the auditor general look at MP expenses,” said Bloc House leader Pierre Paquette.

“Unfortunately, the board of internal economy decided otherwise. … I can’t explain it.”

MPs do disclose a general breakdown of their office budgets for things like travel and furniture but do not release specifics and can file some expenses under the heading of “other.”

The three local MPs mentioned in the most recent expenditure report have very minimal expenses in the “other” category.

Julian listed $716, Black listed $338 and Siksay listed $254 in the “other” category.

MPs and senators manage a combined budget of $544 million a year, which includes individual office budgets and central services such as the library and security.

The budget also includes perks such as the services of a tailor for free clothing repair and pressing, and free language training for themselves and their spouses.

MPs can also receive free training in media relations.

Fish kill file is closed Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Environment Canada’s file on the Byrne Creek chemical spill has gone cold.

“Environment Canada has not been able to locate the source of pollution in this case.

No further action can be taken as a result of this from an investigation perspective,” wrote media relations advisor Tina Cobb, in an e-mailed statement to the NOW. Environment Canada got involved in the March 4 chemical spill, testing water samples collected by the City of Burnaby.

While results showed “various types of cleaning agents” were dumped in to the creek, no one knows if the spill was accidental or deliberate. The chemicals wiped out the creek’s entire fish population, including cutthroat trout, baby coho salmon that had just hatched and were emerging from the gravel and coho smolts that were almost ready to head out to sea. Volunteers from the Byrne Creek Streamkeepers counted about 500 dead fish but estimated 1,000 to

2,000 were killed in total.

According to the Fisheries Act, it’s illegal to dump substances harmful to fish or their habitat into waterways. Under the act, first-time offenders could be fined up to $300,000.

Environment Canada is urging the public to call 1-888-811-6233 with any information they may have regarding the spill.

Meanwhile, the creek has been slowly recovering. Volunteer streamkeeper Paul Cipywnyk said new fry have been spotted in the creek recently.

“We think they must be cutthroat (trout) from eggs laid after the March 4 kill, because we did not see anything alive in the creek for many weeks after,” he said. “It’s great to know Mother Nature is doing her thing.”

Small chum salmon from the Fisheries and Oceans Canada were also released in the creek. They have already headed out to sea.

To see a video of the fry, visit Jennifer Moreau’s blog, Community Conversations, at www.burnabynow.com.

Chlorine leak fixed at pool A leak in the water supply pipe in the chlorine room of the Eileen Dailly Leisure Pool Tuesday evening has been fixed, and the pool is open for normal activities once again.

According to Dave Ellenwood, the city’s director of parks, recreation and cultural services, a chlorine leak detector went off at

9:45 p.m. Tuesday night, and, as per normal safety procedures, the Burnaby Fire Department was called in and pool staff started a controlled evacuation of the building.

The leak was contained to the chlorine room and the water supply pipe in that room.

Sixteen firefighters were

on scene.

Pool officials called in a technician and a plumber to repair the pipe, and, by 12:30 a.m. Wednesday, the facility was registering normal chlorine readings.

“I think this shows our chlorine detectors are very sensitive, and we take safety very seriously,” Ellenwood said.

HST numbers rising

A

nti-HST campaigners in the Burnaby-Edmonds riding are hoping to collect more signatures this long weekend.

There will be petitions set up at HighGate Mall, 7155 Kingsway, on Saturday, May 22, and Sunday, May 23, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. There will be copies of petitions for all four Burnaby ridings at that site.

People need to make sure they sign the petition for their own provincial riding.

Canvassers have until July 5 to collect signatures from 10 per cent of registered voters in all of B.C.’s 85 electoral districts for the petition to be valid.

Campaign organizers are aiming for 15 per cent of signatures, just to be on the safe side in case some of the signatures are not valid. The petition calls for the end to the agreement between the federal and provincial government to bring in the HST. According to the latest numbers, as of May 16, BurnabyDeer Lake had 2,379 signatures but they need 5,106; BurnabyEdmonds has 3,483 but is aiming for 5,074; Burnaby-Lougheed has 2,400 but needs 5,279 and Burnaby-North has 3,524 but needs 5,679.

Burnaby started off slow and was last in the province at the beginning of the campaign, but they’ve made great strides, according to Chris Delaney from the Fight HST campaign.

While Burnaby’s numbers still look low compared to the rest of the province, they only reflect a couple of weeks’ worth of work, whereas other ridings have been collecting for six weeks, Delaney said. When that’s taken into consideration, Burnaby has seen the biggest jump, he added.

“They are not a worry at all.

They are going to surpass their targets,” he said.

Library wins award

The B.C. Library Association has given the Burnaby Public Library an award for the new Tommy Douglas library branch.

Fabric importer weaves a new life in a new country Businesswomen fled political turmoil to bring her family from to Kyrgyzstan to Burnaby

F

irst thing in the morning, Olesya Aleksandrova, 32, leaves her Forest Grove home and loads her Volvo with a rainbow of fabrics as she heads out to meet with interior designers.

But by mid-June, Aleksandrova will be able to sell her professional interior fabrics from her own storefront in Burnaby Heights, she says.

Aleksandrova is excited about her prospective new business in the 4800block of Hastings Street.

She wanted to open a retail space, as well as a showroom for cliLIFE STORIES ents, so she could Janaya Fuller-Evans stay in touch with individual buyers, Aleksandrova said.

“I so enjoy when women come and touch fabric,” Aleksandrova says. “It feels so good when I see the emotion on their face.”

She was raised to take care of herself and credits her father for making her independent.

“I was grown in my strong father’s hand,” Aleksandrova says with her soft, Eastern European accent.

Aleksandrova first brought fabric back with her from Kyrgyzstan last summer and offered to sell some to a North Vancouver woman, who was looking for beautiful European-style curtains on an online Russian forum, Aleksandrova said.

The woman bought all of her fabric, and business took off from there.

Aleksandrova now has exclusive “I was grown in agreements with my strong father’s three factories in Europe. Most hand.” fabric sold in the Lower Mainland OLESYA ALEKSANDROVA comes from Asia, business owner she explains, because it is more affordable.

But she has been able to negotiate with her suppliers and offers 1.5 by three metres of fabric for the same price that other importers sell 1.5 by one metre.

Aleksandrova developed her business acumen at a young age. She studied business management at the Russian university in Kyrgyzstan, she says, and went on to help her father get the family out of financial difficulties after he needed surgery.

Her father was grateful for her help and gave her US$3,000 to invest as she saw fit, according to Aleksandrova.

Aleksandrova, who had initially wanted to be a doctor, used the money to start a medical clinic. It was the second private medical clinic to open in Kyrgyzstan, she

Nine months later, she opened a maternity hospital on Karakulskaya Street in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan where her family lives, Aleksandrova says. She gave birth to her first daughter shortly after the opening ceremony.

But political turmoil put the family, and business, in peril.

President Askar Akayev and his government were overthrown in what is known as the first Tulip Revolution, following elections on February 27, 2005.

By the time the government was ousted, the president’s son, Aidar Akayev, and his brother-in-law, Adil Toigonbayev, had control of 42 businesses in the country, including some of Kyrgyzstan’s most profitable companies, according to the Kyrgyz news agency Akipress.

Aleksandrova says that Aidar’s people had been trying to take the hospital, as well.

The first night of the revolution, Aleksandrova sat up with her father in their home, her sister and mother hidden downstairs, in case the rioting in the streets came to their door. A building 200 metres away was burned down in the night, she says.

The next morning, Aleksandrova’s father received a phone call threatening her life if she didn’t turn the hospital over to the caller. Aleksandrova’s father sent her, with her infant daughter and teenage sister, over the border to Kazakhstan to hide with family there, she says.

They had to be smuggled over the closed border checkpoints in the luggage compartment of a work bus, Aleksandrova added.

Celebrate Victoria Day at museum Burnaby Village Museum is the place to be for local Victoria Day celebrations this long weekend. As always, the museum has a myriad of events planned throughout the day to mark the birthday of Queen Victoria.

To start things off with a bang, organizers will fire a cannon at 11:30 a.m. There’s also a special firing salute to the Queen at 3:05 p.m.

The confectionery centrepiece is the colossal birthday cake decorated with blueberries and strawberries in the

shape of the Union Jack.

The Tiddley Cove Morris Dancers will strut their stuff from noon to 1 p.m. Morris dancing is a traditional English dance that features complicated figures and skipping steps. There will also be maypole dancing and lessons on how to properly bow and curtsy to a queen. The museum is at 6501 Deer Lake Ave. The event runs from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. editorial@burnabynow.com

Here & Now: Jr. kindergarten helps Haiti continued from page 13

The award recognizes outstanding achievement in a library building project.

“It was Burnaby city council’s vision for the Edmonds community that led to the building of the new Tommy Douglas library. From the very beginning of the project, our shared goal for this new branch was a building that would reflect both the considerable history of the Edmonds area, as well as its current cultural diversity, and be a beautiful, sustainable and functional part of the community,” said Iqbal Dhanani, chair of the library board.

“We also wanted the new library to be a beacon to shine its light out into

the community so that it could be both a gathering place and a community resource.”

The library branch also saw a jump in cards issued after the new one was built – from 188 in December 2008 at the old location, to 828 issued in December 2009.

Helping hands

You’re never too young to help out. Children aged two to five from a junior kindergarten in Burnaby delivered a cheque to the Red Cross for $1,528 on May 14.

The money was raised through the school’s Rebuilding Haiti project.

Core Education and Fine Arts is a private school for junior kindergarten school with a branch in Burnaby.

Fabric: New home Five days later, Aleksandrova was able to come home when the family discovered the threat was just an opportunist trying to profit from the chaos of the revolution. Nevertheless, Aleksandrova no longer felt safe because of the turmoil and corruption in Kyrgyzstan, she says, and decided to immigrate to Canada with her daughter and husband, Maxim.

It took 18 months.

Aleksandrova had to learn French so she could enter through the more afford-

able French-language immigration program, but she was living in Canada by 2007.

Her husband followed in 2008, and their second daughter was born a year later.

It is not surprising after Aleksandrova’s journey to be here that her goals are big.

“My dream right now is to be the biggest professional decorative fabrics supplier in North America,” she wrote in an introductory e-mail.

Aleksandrova’s fabrics can be found at www.per fectfabrics.ca.

The teachers set up a program for the kids to raise money to help Haiti following a devastating earthquake in January.

Each classroom had a collection jar, and students were encouraged to earn money by doing chores, errands or good deeds at home.

The Burnaby CEFA location raised $604, and the kids got to deliver the cheque since they raised more than the other Lower Mainland locations. The parent advisory council also pitched in to bring the grand total to $1,528.

Fraser ranks third on endangered rivers list Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

The Fraser River came in third on this year’s endangered rivers of B.C. list, moving up one spot from last year’s place as the fourth most endangered river in the province.

The Fraser has ranked in the top five of B.C.’s most endangered rivers for 17 of the 18 years that the list has been compiled by the OutdoorRecreationCouncil of British Columbia.

The river earned the dubious distinction due to pollution, industrial development and urbanization affecting the river.

Two B.C. rivers tied for first place, making the Fraser fourth in the number of most endangered rivers, though third in the rankings.

The most worrying issue with the river this year was the dismal sockeye salmon return, according to Mark Angelo, chair of the Rivers Institute at BCIT. Angelo, who is also chair of the Outdoor Recreation Council’s B.C. Rivers pro-

gram and a Burnaby resident, said it was the lowest sockeye return recorded in 52 years.

Fisheries and Oceans Canada forecasted that 10.6 million sockeye salmon would return to the Fraser, but only 1.37 million made it back last July.

The prime minister called a judicial inquiry into the salmon stock depletion last November. The commission is investigating the causes for the decline of Fraser River sockeye salmon and the current state of salmon stocks and will develop recommendations to sustain the Fraser River sockeye salmon fishery.

According to Angelo, the depletion of the salmon stocks highlights the need to research the marine environment more thoroughly.

Another issue affecting the Fraser River fishery is the Iona Island wastewater treatment plant, he added.

The plant is in Richmond and releases treated effluent into the Georgia Strait, which the sockeye salmon enter from the Fraser,

Angelo explained.

“Young fish have to move through that,” he said.

Metro Vancouver has been ordered to upgrade Iona to a secondary treatment facility by 2020 by the provincial government, but Angelo hopes to see it happen sooner.

“We have indications that they would be willing to do that,” Angelo said.

Urbanization and agriculture are also adversely affecting the river, but Angelo said he thinks the Fraser could be restored and protected, with the right help.

“There are certainly things we can change,” said Angelo, mentioning groups like the Fraser Basin Council, which works to protect the Fraser River environment,andtheFraser River Discovery Centre in New Westminster, which educates the public about the river.

The 2010 list ranks the Kettle River and Sacred Headwaters of the Skeena, Nass and Stikine rivers in the number 1 at-risk spot.

here are numerous benefits in planning one meal ahead, whether you have diabetes, are watching your weight or are just trying to keep your energy high and your hunger suppressed.

Planning one meal ahead will force you to think about what you are eating and will make you more aware of what your body needs for its next meal.

The truth of the matter is, by not regulating your meals and not eating regular snacks, you are discouraging a healthy metabolism and encouraging weight gain, mood swings and reduced energy.

This is why the ultimate goal is to be planning your whole day’s meals ahead of time: to know your breakfast, morning snack, lunch and afternoon snack, as well as your supper, prior to the day’s commencement.

into the habit of planning your meals, think ahead of what you’ll be having for each meal before you go grocery shopping.

Making a grocery list of all of the food and ingredients you’ll need for each meal will not only help you with planning your meals but will save you a great deal of time when you get to the grocery store and will prevent you from being enticed by the goodies on the shelves.

Despite the best intentions, planning your meals ahead of time is not infallible.

Certain allowances must be made for one-offs, such as a sudden night out with friends at a restaurant or a late work meeting that features take-out.

Even top athletes, who plan their whole day’s meals beforehand, make allowances for eating out.

However, these athletes also know the hazards of eating out, and they prepare by knowing what they will eat at the restaurant before they sit down, cautioning against making an impulse decision based on what the tempting menu has to offer.

Thinking ahead can encourage a good choice.

MOTORING Hyundai Sonata gets all jazzed up for 2011 David Chao and Bob McHugh NOW contributors

H

yundai has taken a daring and dramatic approach to styling for 2011 with the new Sonata, and its design is already winning the hearts of today’s modern car buyers. As well, Hyundai breaks the tradition from family-car convention by not offering a V6 engine option with its all-new 2011-model year Sonata.

While a bit of a gamble, I’d put my money on a company that’s been on a red-hot streak of late.

Last year, Hyundai sales went from strength to strength in an auto market that went completely the other way, and this year has been another of record sales growth in Canada. In addition, a turbocharged four-cylinder engine and hybrid-electric powertrain versions of the Sonata are expected sometime later in the model year.

A new state-of-the-

art GDI (gasoline direct injection) Theta II 2.4-litre four cylinder is the reason behind Hyundai’s single-engine introductory strategy. It can produce 198-horsepower and 184 lb.-ft. of torque, which is considerably more than the departing four (175 hp/168 lb.-ft.), yet it offers better fuel economy.

In addition to direct injection, this engine uses variable valve timing on both the intake and exhaust cams to make it the most potent four-cylinder in its class. It also uses a maintenance-free valve timing chain instead of a rubber belt.

The six-speed manual transmission is only available on the base GL edition of Sonata; all other trim levels come with a six-speed automatic. The automatic is a Shiftronic that also allows manual mode gear selection via the floor shifter.

The new Sonata continues its value tradition in the family sedan class with an impressive list of standard

features. Included features you may pay extra for in competitive cars include air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, keyless entry with an alarm, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, cruise control, a Bluetooth hands-free phone system, a trip computer, heated side mirrors and an audio system with inputs and six speakers.

My test Sonata was the top-line Limited edition with a $2,000 Navigation package, which raised its manufacturer suggested retail price to $30,999. In addition to the Navigation system this package also includes proximity entry, keyless push-button start and a backup camera system. While by no means essential, these are great convenience features and the extra cost is reasonable.

The looks

A new rendition of fourdoor coupe styling theme, which Hyundai calls a “Fluidic Sculpture,” the new Sonata shares some

obvious design cues with the Mercedes-Benz CLS. It’s a curvaceous eye-catching design with deep body creases that give an impression of movement even while at rest.

Up front, it has a Genesis-like wavy grille, only this time it comes with a large and prominently positioned Hyundai logo.

A rising side character line that partially conceals the door handles and continues

ing on who’s doing the assessment.

No longer satisfied with just keeping pace with the likes of Honda and Toyota, the double-cockpit dash layout and particularly the centre stack display have Infiniti overtones. Hyundai uses distinctive control features, and, for the most part, it’s an intuitive layout with lots of handy storage places.

across the back of the car is another attractive feature.

Compared to the 2010 Sonata, its external dimensions are almost the same.

The new Sonata is a little longer and just a tad lower and wider.

The inside

While considered a mid-sized car, the Sonata’s generous interior volume (2,939 litres) can put in the full-size category, depend-

MOTORING Hyundai: New Sonata ready to change car buyer’s minds continued from page 25

There’s a small price to pay for its good-looking swept-back design in terms of rear-seat headroom for tall adults. Otherwise, the back seat is roomy and comfortable. Heated rear seats are included with the Limited editions.

Safety

The safety package is the same regardless of the trim level.

A standard set of six air bags – front, side (front seats) and side curtain (front and rear) – are provided in addition to active front seat head restraints.

Electronic stability control is another excellent standard feature, as is the Bluetooth phone system that connects to the driver’s cell phone and allows voice-controlled hands-free use.

The Limited edition also comes with repeater turn signals on the side mirrors.

The drive

An interesting gauge-withina-gauge instrument cluster design greets the driver of a new Sonata. Round engine temperature and fuel gauges are placed centrally within the larger tachometer and speedometer

gauges.

A good range of adjustments allows a comfortable driving position and my tester even came with a power lumbar support setting. The seat is generous in size, and the driver is provided with a large left foot rest-pedal.

My tester also came with the optional backup camera system, which makes this task considerably easier in a congested parking lot. Without the camera, a high rear shelf plus the steeply raked back window restrict vision considerably, although the side mirrors are a decent size.

Sonata’s new four-banger engine possesses good offthe-line power and performs smoothly and quietly. The sixspeed automatic is quick to lend a down-shift hand on uphill climbs and most users will find this engine completely satisfies their power requirements.

Sonata’s new electronic power steering changes the assist provided quite dramatically as you build up vehicle speed. Light at parking lot speeds, it becomes considerably firmer as the speedometer rises, to give it a sportier handling feel than the current Sonata.

Photo contributed/burnaby now

Expensive? Not really: The Hyundai Sonata has a stylish new look for 2011 and offers impressive fuel efficiency and features – without a high price tag.

While on the topic of sport, this mode doesn’t exist on the automatic transmission. It does, however, have an eco mode, which shows up on the dash as a green icon. Not sure what

it does, however, other than reward the driver for being easy on the gas pedal.

The score

Looking way more expensive

than it actually is, the athletic yet fuel-frugal new Sonata will turn heads and change some rival car buyers’ minds about owning a Hyundai. See more at www. hyundaicanada.com.

PAPERWORK

Don’t fall victim to ID theft in spring cleaning Spring is here, and now is a good time to rid the house of paperwork that has accumulated over the past year.

The Better Business Bureau reminds people that, when they are doing their spring cleaning, they should properly shred sensitive documents to avoid ID theft.

“When people think of ID theft, they almost immediately focus on hackers and online security,” says Lynda Pasacreta, president and chief executive officer of the Better Business Bureau of Mainland B.C. “But one of the most common ways ID theft happens is when people have failed to secure or properly destroy important financial information including paper documents, IDs and credit cards.”

Every year, thousands of Canadians become victims of preventable ID theft.

Often ID theft occurs when the thief has direct contact with the victim’s personal information such as through a stolen or lost wallet, or by rifling through the victim’s mailbox or trash.

The Better Business Bureau offers the following guide on when to shred the following documents: ◆ Cancelled cheques: Cancelled cheques with no long-term significance for tax or other purposes can be destroyed after one year. However, cancelled cheques and other receipts that support tax returns, such as charitable contributions or tax payments, should be held for at least

seven years – long enough to cover the sixyear retention period. Consumers should not shred cancelled cheques and related receipts or documents for a home purchase or sale, renovations or other improvements to owned property, and non-deductible contributions to a Registered Retirement Savings Plan. ◆ Deposit, ATM, credit card and debit card receipts: Consumers should save credit, debit and ATM receipts until the transaction appears on their statement and they have verified that the information is accurate. ◆ Credit card and bank account statements: Credit card and bank account statements with no tax or other long-term significance can be discarded after a year; remaining statements should be kept for up to seven years. ◆ Credit card contracts and other loan agreements: Credit card contracts and loan agreements should be kept for as long as the account is active in case the consumer has a dispute with their lender over the terms of the contract. ◆ Utility or monthly bills: Monthly bills should be shredded the year after being received by the consumer. This way, if it’s a power bill, for example, consumers can compare this month’s bill to last year’s bill for any major changes before shredding it.

Ball hockey goes for gold at worlds Canada won double gold in Slovakia in 2008 Tom Berridge

sports editor

If Canada has to go to a shootout at the Street and Ball Hockey World Championships in the Czech Republic, it will have a goto-guy on the roster.

New Westminster’s Trevor Sidhu scored the game-tying goal and the eventual shootout winner for Team B.C. at last year’s under15 national championships.

“I faked the wrist shot and went to the backhand and then shelved the winner,” the Grade 10 New Westminster Secondary student said of the goal. “(When we were young), me and my brother played for hours in the garage. He’d play goalie and we’d always have debates about who would be in the net.

But I’d never go in goal.”

Good thing too, because Canada will need a scoring touch around the net if it wants to emulate its feat in 2008, when it won gold at both the u-16 and -18 levels in the inaugural world championships held in Slovakia.

As defending champion, Canada must be considered the favourite again this year when the tournament kicks off in 10 days time.

Sidhu is torn between the ice game that he has enjoyed for the past 10 years, and the ball hockey sport that he knows he has more of a future in.

“It’s pretty even, but I like ice hockey better,” Sidhu said. “But I think I’m better at ball hockey. I like it because I’m good at it.”

Like many ball hockey players, Sidhu plays the fast-moving sport to prepare himself for his winter pursuits.

“But I’m probably more serious in the future about ball hockey,” he added. “I’ll continue on Team

Larry Wright/burnaby now

To worlds: Burnaby-born Trevor Sidhu will be making his debut on Canada’s under-16 ball hockey team in Czech Republic.

B.C. for ball hockey, but I just play ice hockey for New Westminster probably for fun.”

He shared a third place at the provincial Tier 3 championships with the New Westminster Royals midget ice hockey team as a first-

year player this year. But he does not consider himself a prospect like his older brother Brandon.

At the ball hockey nationals in Edmonton last year, Sidhu got wind from his teammates that scouts had their eyes on him.

Earlier in the summer, Sidhu had played well for the Metro Minor all-stars, garnering nine points in five games en route to a berth in the final game at the Western Challenge Cup, another venue for Canadian scouts.

A month later, Sidhu was contacted by e-mail telling him he had made the national team.

“I was kind of shocked and excited to go,” he said. “Any time you represent Canada, it’s got to mean something,” Sidhu said. “When you get picked for that team, you should represent them well. It would be nice to be noticed and have a good tournament, and just win it all.”

Canada’s assistant general manager Gary Slavin said, they have put together the teams to do it again.

“The biggest thing for Canada is their hand skills and the running,” Slavin said. “It’s a puzzle piece, but mainly it’s finding what kids play well, their backgrounds and their schooling.”

Slavin recruited Sidhu for B.C.’s winning u-15 team at last year’s nationals mainly on the strength of his back-checking skills.

“He’s a sneaky checker with soft hands,” Slavin said. Stamina and running are two assets good ball hockey players possess, and many soccer players are finding their good cardio translates well into the indoor game.

Many junior ice hockey players also use the summer game as a preparation for a new season.

It develops the hand skills and ability to read the game, which translate well into ball hockey, Slavin added.

“You have both ice hockey and soccer, and you have a good ball hockey player,” Slavin said. “The second thing is, for high-level athletes, it’s a chance for a break at rep levels to come back and play with their buddies in a sport they Hockey Page 42

Central soccer to B.C.s Tom Berridge

sports editor

Kaleigh Fratkin booted the Burnaby Central Wildcats into the B.C. high school AAA girls’ soccer championships.

Central defeated the Handsworth Royals 1-0 on Fratkin’s second-half winner, eliminating the North Vancouver team that won it all in 2008.

Back then, Central had beaten Handsworth in zone playoffs, but lost in the provincial semifinals to Kelowna, giving the Royals a clear road to the B.C. title.

This time, it was different.

“It was kind of like from the first half we had to get it together or we weren’t going to go to the provincials again,” said senior Tessa Barbour, who was on that highly favoured Central side two seasons ago.

On Wednesday, it was Barbour’s corner kick that set up the game-winner.

Alisha Penev got a strong header on Barbour’s inswinging cross kick that the Handsworth goalie had trouble knocking down.

Fratkin was in perfect position to pound the ensuing rebound high into the back of the net with a strong first-time volley.

“Maybe if we really come out and try hard, we can win (the provincials),” said Barbour.

The B.C. championships will be held this year in Victoria from June 3 to 5.

The Show to take up digs in Langley in 2011 Tom Berridge sports editor

The B.C. High School Boys’ Basketball Association will be relocating the site of the AAA championships to Langley next year.

The announcement was made by e-mail on May 12 following a unanimous vote in favour by the association’s executive, a board of governors and championship tournament committee members.

Tournament director John Buis said in the e-mail the difficult decision to break ties with the PNE was made easier by the number of features offered by the

new host Langley Events Centre.

“We will have a lot more flexibility,” said Buis in the release.

“In addition to the arena, which will seat close to 6,500 fans, we have access to three additional basketball courts, a modern audio-visual system and a 500seat banquet facility.”

In addition to free parking at the new Langley site, Basketball B.C. has moved its hardwood floor to the events centre, making it more cost effective for the high school association to follow.

Buis added the move was a win-win for the tournament sponsors, fans and sponsors.

“We have clearly had an

upswing in the tournament over the last few years, and we think this move will help to continue the growth of the event.”

Next year’s AAA championship will be held at the Langley Events Centre, located at 7888200th Street, from March 15 through 19.

The news was met with a certain amount of inevitability by Burnaby high school coaches.

“It’s a brand new facility.

The history, the nostalgia of the Agrodome will be missed,” said Byrne Creek Bulldogs head coach Wayne Best, who coached the Alpha Aztecs to a seventh-place finish in 2004 and went to the B.C.

final with Centennial in 1985.

Best described the Langley site as a “bigger, brighter, newer and easier accessed facility that makes for a very good change.”

But it will take some time for Langley to replace all the memories that have been made under the domed roof of the PNE barn, Best added.

“I played in the Agrodome, I coached in the Agrodome. I’ll miss it,” he said.

Burnaby South head coach Greg Matic, who led the Rebels to eighth overall at this year’s provincials, also had mixed feelings.

“I think the Agrodome was

awesome,” Matic said. “But eventually, I wouldn’t be surprised if they (expanded) to 24 teams.”

The Burnaby resident is in an interesting position of working just minutes from the new events centre.

But for a loyal number of older high school hoop fans, it’s anyone’s guess whether the move will have an effect on overall spectator numbers.

In any event, the new site will have to begin a process of building a new set of basketball fans in the basketball-rich Fraser Valley, said Matic.

“It’s uncharted waters. … This is something new.”

Men’s hoop coach resigns; takes head job at TRU Tom Berridge sports editor

Scott Clark announced his resignation Tuesday as head coach of the Simon Fraser University men’s basketball team effective May 21.

Clark will take over the head coaching job at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, beginning Monday.

“It was a family decision,” said Clark, who made the daily commute from Langley to Burnaby Mountain. “(Kamloops) is a different lifestyle. It’s something we’ve been wanting.”

Clark first began at SFU as an assistant coach to Jay Triano during the 1992/93 season and became head coach in 1995.

Clark coached 15 seasons at SFU and last season led the Clan to second place overall in the Canada West Pacific Division with a record of 14-4.

At Thompson Rivers, Clark will inherit a program that finished last in the Pacific Division last season with a 3-15 record and has gone 11-96 in its first five seasons as a member of Canadian Interuniversity Sport.

“We wish Scott well and thank him for 15 years of

service to the university and to the athletic department,” said SFU senior director of athletics David Murphy in a Clan release.

Clark was expected to lead SFU into its inaugural season in the NCAA Division II this September.

Murphy went on to say the job of replacing Clark has begun with significant interest already being received from NCAA Div. I and II coaches.

The Clan will officially become the first Canadian institution to join the NCAA when they move into the Great Northwest Athletic Conference this fall.

Wrestler earns U.S. berth to worlds Simon Fraser University freshman Victoria Anthony won her weight class at the Body Bar women’s FILA junior national wrestling championships in Kissimmee, Florida, May 17.

Anthony won the women’s 48-kilogram title over Carlene Sluberski with a 3-0, 3-1 score.

The victory gave Anthony a berth on the United States national team for the upcoming junior world championships to be held in Hungary in July.

Anthony was the junior world champion at 44 kg last year and is the current Canada West and Canadian Interuniversity Sport champion at 48 kg.

In her freshman year, Anthony was named rookie of the year in both the conference and CIS. She was also the Canada West’s wrestler of the year.

Anthony will be joined by Clan teammates Danielle Lappage and Sidney Morrison, who will both represent Canada at the junior worlds.

Nine commit to Clan NCAA swim team

SFU swimming and diving announced the commitment of nine recruits for the program’s move into the NCAA Division II this fall.

Local swimmers Ciaran McDonnell, James McQuade and Hannah Fregin will join incoming freshmen Bruno Sharpe, Christopher Tanninen, Alex Duguay, Nicole Cossey, Whitley Sheehan and Katie McEvoy in the pool in September.

Temporary Nighttime Detours Highway 1 Eastbound and Grandview Highway In late May and early June 2010, travellers are advised to expect nighttime closures and detours on Highway 1 eastbound and the Grandview Highway on-ramp between Boundary Road and Willingdon Avenue to allow for construction of new high occupancy vehicle priority ramps linking Grandview Highway and Highway 1.

The nightly temporary closures are scheduled to take place between the hours of midnight and 4:00 a.m. from May 25 to June 9, weather permitting. This will ensure that both construction crews and the travelling public are safe while the necessary construction work takes place.

All detours will be clearly marked when in operation and drivers are requested to watch for detour signs and obey traffic control personnel.

RUGBY

Rebel backs win over Panther forwards in Div. 2 rugby final Tom Berridge

sports editor

The Burnaby South Rebels held off a concerted Moscrop Panthers pack to post a 10-5 victory in the Lower Mainland Division 2 rugby final at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex-East Wednesday.

First-year fullback Jerome Brathwaite scored an early back-line try for the Rebels and the converted score by captain Nolan Shelley stood up as the game-winner for South.

In a match that was played mostly on the defensive, South made the most of its opportunities.

Moscrop stuck to its game plan, keeping the ball tight to the maul and moving steadily downfield.

A second point-scor-

ing chance came midway through the second half when South outside half Nick McCue ran the ball out of his own end, setting up a Rebel counter that finally resulted in a penalty kick opportunity.

Nolan easily chipped the three-pointer through the uprights for a 10-0 South lead. “(Moscrop) definitely pressed the game after (the try),” said Brathwaite.

“They pinned our backs against the wall, but we kept stopping them. The main thing was we made our tackles. When it comes down to saving a try, it’s hard to get through us.”

But Moscrop was not done and kept possession in the forwards and went on the march again.

Moscrop scrum half

Jimmy Ly finally put the Panthers on the board with a try off a quick tap penalty that shaved the deficit to five points.

The extra points opportunity was missed.

Heavy rain and strong winds at times hampered South’s ability to run with the ball, but the Rebels showed they were more than an offensive team, Brathwaite added.

“If we didn’t tackle, we would have been blown out of the water,” Brathwaite said. “We can adjust to a lot of situations. We’ve been doing it all year. When we have to step up, we step up.”

In junior boys’ rugby, Alpha defeated Burnaby North 21-10 in the championship final played last Thursday.

Canada wins u-20 rugby opener Burnaby Central grad Admir Cejvanovic shared an opening game win over Zimbabwe at the Junior World Rugby Trophy competition in Moscow this week.

Cejvanovic started in the front row for the under-20 men’s national team that

went on to post a 22-6 victory over the African republic.

Connor Braid booted six penalty goals and converted Canada’s only try from scrum half Pat Fraser. Canada takes on Japan today (Saturday).

LACROSSE

NLL Vets win first pro title sports editor

Five local pro lacrosse players shared in a firstever Championship Trophy with the Washington Stealth on Sunday.

The Stealth, which had moved the franchise to the Pacific Northwest from San Jose last season, defeated the Toronto Rock 15-11 in a thrilling fourth-quarter comeback in the championship final of the National Lacrosse League.

Bryne Creek Secondary instructor Curtis Hodgson, Burnaby Laker veteran Cam Sedgwick, New Westminster Salmonbellies Peter Morgan and goalies Tyler Richards and Matt Roik were all part of the Stealth’s championship run.

Trailing 7-5 at halftime and by as many as

four goals late in the third frame, Morgan started the comeback with a goal from the left-side crease with just 12 seconds remaining in the period.

Washington caught a break after the ensuing faceoff and with the Rock goalie on the bench for an extra attacker, Eric Martin tallied into an empty net with little time left on the clock.

That led to an eight-goal run by the Stealth, including a seven-goal fourth period that swung the momentum of the game.

Rhys Duch, who led the Stealth with three goals and eight assists in the championship game and topped the playoffs with 11 markers and 14 helpers, tied the score with his second and third tallies in the early going.

Game MVP Lewis

Ratcliff, the only player on the Washington roster to have won a previous pro playoff title, put the Stealth in the lead 11-10 with his fourth of the game.

Sedgwick scored the game-winning goal, with a long, hard shot from right in front that found its way through the legs of Rock keeper Bob Watson at 8:53 of the final period.

Sedgwick, in his ninth pro season and sixth with the Stealth franchise, scored four goals and had 11 points in the playoffs.

Richards was stellar in goal when he had to be, making a career-high 50 saves, including 18 in the opening period.

Hodgson, who led the playoffs in shooting percentage, assisted on Mike Grimes’ empty-net marker that put the finishing touch on Washington’s win.

Happy and cheerful is in!

CAREER COACH

Get ahead while you work

Are you working, but still searching for other opportunities? If so, you should focus on exploring your career options AND making the most of your current job.

Here are my tips for doing so: 1. Identify your strengths and manage your weaknesses.

Put your emphasis on your strengths and look for Gregg Taylor opportunities to focus more on these skills.

2. Create a career portfolio. Collect all of your certificates, credentials, resume and any other papers that relate to your skills and put them in a binder.

3. Increase your profile. Volunteer to join committees, projects and special events to connect with people in other areas of the company. This shows your engagement with the company and your job will be more fun if you venture outside your cubicle.

4. Help others succeed. It's very satisfying to help someone out of a jam. You feel you're contributing and it benefits someone directly.

5. Build your network. Get to know people playing different roles in the company.

6. Find a mentor. Look for a colleague who's been with the company a long time – or someone in the same industry with another organization – someone you can safely talk to about your career aspirations and who will give you honest feedback.

7. Talk to your manager or human resources department about your career.

Discuss your long-term goals and seek advice about how you can improve your performance in your current job and what you could do now to prepare for a future role.

8. Pursue professional development. Seek training to enhance your skills in your current role but also consider what skills would be useful to your department.

9. Expand your horizons. Attend industry conferences and read journals and blogs about your profession and industry to find new ideas to bring to your job and organization.

10. Be inquisitive. Ask lots of questions: How can I improve? How do you do that? What needs to be done? How can I help? Where do I go from here?

These are just a few tips to get you started. If you need assistance in exploring your career options or transition, please call 604-568-4176 or 604-434-1177.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: A busy, detail-filled month lies ahead. Your luck has been low, but it soon will climb or reach equilibrium (early June through early September). Sunday/Monday feature relationships and opportunities. These are a tough slog Sunday – you might reach a final separation point or showdown over a domestic, career or similar situation. Don’t expect fireworks, just deep, thoughtful commitment to a path.

Monday’s the opposite – everything works when you admit your own fears, failings! Secrets, inheritances, investments, other people’s money fascinate you midweek: but a major problem lurks.

Cancer June 21-July 22: The few weeks ahead bring reduced energy levels, quietude and sweet solitude, spiritual nudges and administrative or governmental contacts. It’s a good time to contemplate and plan your future. When doing that planning, realize that June through August will favour your ambitions, and contacts with bosses and VIPs. Worldwide, this will also be a turbulent time – and in crisis there are opportunities. Your relationship, ambition and security/ domestic zones all face change (or at least, adventure!).

Sunday holds either deep affection or deep rejection.

Your romantic, creative urges rise midweek.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Expect four weeks of internationalism, higher learning, far travel, publishing and legal, cultural events – and love! But an April/May trend of intimacy, financial commitment or research with someone representing one of these zones, will continue. E.g., if you became intimate with someone in April or May, you might now see love dawning, or travel to see them. Or, if you researched, you might now publish, or take it to a court of law. Or an investment/ business partnership you explored might become a signed contract. Your charisma, energy soar Sunday/ Monday. Careful Sunday in career/home.

Taurus April 20-May 20: Tackle chores Sunday/ Monday – that’s better than getting into trouble by siding with one person or the other when they argue (Sunday). Relationships bless you Tuesday, but anger is close to the surface Wednesday. Life’s mysteries, depths and deep nurturing rise to consciousness Thursday/Friday. Your financial and sensual instincts surge – but something you start now might meet a longterm (romantic and financial) barrier. Saturday brings initial stress (around noon) then wisdom and mellow thoughts. The weeks ahead emphasize earnings, purchases, possessions, memory and sensual joys.

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The weeks ahead bring wish fulfillment, popularity, flirtations, entertainment, optimism and joyful plans! You could start a love affair; it could lead to marriage, or bring travel to a foreign country. Expect success in legal, educational, cultural, love, publishing, far travel and similar zones. But this might be just a taste of success, Leo – don’t force matters, be willing to wait until 2011 if success doesn’t fully gel. Much talk Sunday (watch underground resentments or sneaky people) and Monday (trust someone!) Rest, midweek. Romance, creativity and a winning streak, Thursday/Friday!

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: You face a month of depths, intimacy, sexual urges, secrets and research, commitment and consequence, and crucial health and lifestyle choices. You should meet success! Someone you’ve dealt with since early to mid-April could play a prominent role. You might find your work duties expanding June through August. Retreat, take a deep rest Sunday/Monday. (Sunday might subtly pull a “mellow relationship” apart.) Your energy and charisma surge Tuesday/Wednesday – ask a favour or start a new project! (Best Tuesday morn.) You can march straight toward more earnings Thursday/Friday – do so!

Gemini May 21-June 20: Your energy, charisma, effectiveness and decisiveness return, big time! Over the weeks ahead, start significant new projects, see and be seen, make an impression on important people!

Early June to early September might bring a wish true, especially in areas of marriage, relocation, business partnerships and social acceptance. Even if they don’t, your popularity, optimism and “future sight” will rise – get ready to enjoy life! There will be no more need for caution in relationships. But that’s early June.

Meanwhile, Sunday (uncooperatively) and Monday (magically) promote romance, creativity.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: A month of ambition, success, prestige relationships and community recognition has just started. But a study, travel, love, cultural or similar theme, evident since early April, continues to June 9. It might involve communications from another country.

You’ll be half ambitious, half thoughtful. You’ve met lucky opportunity in 2010 – for business, marriage, relocation, perhaps litigation. June-July-August will move these opportunities to deeper waters (commitment, intimacy, funding, etc.) If you “miss,” opportunity will return, September-December, and commitment will return, early 2011.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Your hopes rise Sunday (though money is a disappointing topic) and Monday.

Optimism, popularity, flirtation and fun visit you! Or perhaps you’d better go out and find them, since you’ve entered a month in which others hold the aces of charisma, energy and clout. Still, fresh horizons, opportunities and exciting relationships are imminent!

The more you approach, the more you’ll gain. An AprilMay task lingers into late June, so tackle it. (You might also be romancing a workmate during this time.) Lie low midweek. Emerge Thursday/Friday to greet the world!

Romance – soon.

May 23 - 29 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The month ahead accents work and health, machinery and service personnel, the heavy side of kids (e.g., dirty diapers rather than the joy of her first soccer goal). Look upward Sunday/Monday – to ambition, prestige. An attractive, affectionate person stands across from you Sunday – but are you too secretive, defensive? If so, rethink. You’ve been intrigued by a romantic or creative possibility April and May – this continues through June. Don’t abandon it.Your hopes rise nicely mid-week, but retreat for some solitude Thursday/ Friday. Real estate luck hovers on the near horizon.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: The weeks ahead feature pleasure, beauty, romance, joy with children, creative surges, and a winning streak in speculation. A Gemini or Virgo could be involved – perhaps a person you might have tried to end it with in April/May. Love, understanding, your life philosophy, far travel, legal or educational matters are the theme Sunday/Monday.

Sunday might bring a “silent disagreement” over duties. Be ambitious Tuesday/Wednesday, but avoid friction with a competitor. Your hopes rise Thursday/ Friday, as popularity, light romance and entertainment arrive. Retreat Saturday, seek quiet rest.

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: The weeks ahead accent your domestic scene, security, real estate, Mother Nature, gardening, nutrition. It’s a time to digest what you’ve done, where you’ve travelled over the past year (and years) and where you’re going. This might lead you to abandon certain bonds and projects, and to embrace new ones. That’s good, natural. Sunday presents you with a subtle, perhaps hardly conscious dilemma, a choice between different friends or viewpoints. Secrets, deep power, intimacy might be involved. Midweek’s mellow, brings understanding. Be ambitious Thursday/ Friday: success awaits! timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014

Yul Baker led the Burrards with a five-point night, while Brommer chipped in with a fourpoint outing.

Oliver Mckenzie got the win in goal, stopping 19 shots.

Stee Baker had a gamehigh four goals and six points for the Indians.

That’s good news for an up-and-comer like Sidhu.

“I’m a pretty good scorer, good with the ball, good hands, good speed and always hustling. I think that’s what makes me good at it, because I can last longer on the floor,” he said. “In league, my shifts are long, but on Team B.C. you’ve got to keep them short and keep the lines rolling.”

The Canada will depart for Most, Czech Republic on May 26 and then hold a week-long training camp in preparation for the June 2 to 5 world championships.
