Bloy says tax cuts not dead, just on hold Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Gordon Campbell’s 15 per cent tax cut, announced just weeks ago, has been suspended, but that doesn’t mean it’s never going to happen, according to Liberal MLA Harry Bloy. “It’s not a reversal. It’s being put on hold so the new leader can review it and look at it,” Bloy said. “I would still expect the tax cut would still go through.” This Wednesday, the outgoing premier

announced that the provincial government’s executive council had decided to suspend the 15 per cent reduction in personal income tax rates for the first $72,000 of personal income – that same tax cut he had dangled in front of British Columbians on Oct. 27, just days before he announced he would step down as premier. The tax cut, which was subject to legislative approval, Harry Bloy was set to take effect Jan. 1, 2011. MLA “In order to ensure the executive

council has maximum flexibility to set government’s economic and fiscal agenda, cabinet has decided to suspend the planned tax reduction,” Campbell said in Wednesday announcement. “The cabinet has decided that during this period of transition, it is important that decisions are not made that would unnecessarily limit executive council’s ability to set priorities and implement their agenda for government.”

When asked if the tax cut would mean less government revenue for services and social programs, Bloy said that it would actually stimulate the economy by leaving more spending money in the pockets of British Columbians. Government can still generate revenue, but through taxes on consumption rather than income. “In the long run, it puts more back into the economy,” he said. But New Democrat MLA Kathy Corrigan isn’t convinced.

They’re all feeling the urge to run again I

n just a little more than a year from now, Burnaby residents will once more head to the polls to cast their vote in the municipal election. And while it’s clearly too early to see campaign signs on lawns, the current mayor and council members have already said they’d like to be on the ballot. Mayor Derek Corrigan and all eight city councillors have said they plan to run in the 2011 municipal election, under the Burnaby Citizens’ Association banner. “I’m thrilled to be running again,” Corrigan said. “I’m hoping the people of Burnaby will support me.” Corrigan was a city councillor for 15 years and was first elected in 1987. He served his first term ON MY BEAT as mayor in 2002. Janaya Fuller-Evans The election results will show whether or not the citizens of Burnaby support the BCA-led council’s decisions, he added. The BCA won all city council and school board seats in the 2008 election. There were concerns from the Independent Voices and TEAM Burnaby candidates at the time that a council without opposition would operate in secret, something Corrigan dismissed. All the councillors contacted by the NOW said they intend to run again, though many also said it was still too early to make a formal declaration. “Yes, I’ll run if they’ll have me again,” Coun. Nick Volkow said, laughing. Volkow is currently serving his fifth term on council. He was first elected in 1996. “I don’t think I’ve embarrassed the city,” he joked. Council’s record over the past term has been pretty good, Volkow said. Coun. Dan Johnston, who first ran in ‘93, said there are more environmental initiatives he’d like to introduce. “We’d like to continue working with the committee on those,” said Johnston, who is chair of council’s environment and waste management committee. Coun. Colleen Jordan is in her third term this year, after being first elected in 2002. Her experience as a director on the Metro Vancouver board has added to her knowledge of issues affecting the city and region as a whole, she said. She sees a number of regional issues coming to the

forefront in the next couple of years, she added. “There’s going to be some significant challenges for the region as a whole,” Jordan said. “I’d like the opportunity to see it through.” Coun. Sav Dhaliwal is also a Metro Vancouver director, as well as president of the Lower Mainland Government Association, one of five area associations of the Union of British Columbia Municipalities. He was also first elected in 2002 and is serving his third term. While he does intend to run, he also mentioned the election is still a year away. “I have the interest in the job and the enthusiasm,” he said. “I hope to carry on with the blessings of the voters next year.” All of the councillors and the mayor said they intend to run with BCA again, and most have been longtime members. “I have great regard for the organization,” said Dhaliwal, who is in his third term. He was first elected in 2002. Coun. Pietro Calendino also said it was very early to make a formal declaration but does intend to run again. He was first elected in 2002, like Dhaliwal and Jordan, and is serving his third term. Calendino said he is proud of his work as chair of the community policing committee. “I’m proud of bringing crime down in the city,” he said, adding the committee has helped the community policing offices work more efficiently with the community and has encouraged more people to take part in the community policing program. Coun. Paul McDonell is serving his first term on council, though he served on the parks, recreation and cultural commission for six years prior to that. “I’m just starting to understand it all,” he said of all the ins and outs of his newer role as councillor. “It takes quite a bit, but I’m enjoying it.” He is enjoying his work on the city’s social sustainability strategy, he said. “I like people too, I like to get out to public events,” McDonell said of his job as councillor. Overall, he said, “It’s rewarding.” Coun. Richard Chang is also serving his first term as councillor. He has been a BCA member for four or five years, he said. His focus when he joined council was on bridging the

OUR VIEW

don’t think Bloy was ever part of the Liberal inner circle, perhaps his opinion, at this point in time, is valid. Aside from the optics of it all (the act of a desperate Gordon Campbell), there’s still the overriding attraction of a tax cut. Call it a trial balloon or a trial bribe, but there’s no question that the tax cut held some attraction for taxpayers. Perhaps the tax cut was fiscally irresponsible, as many pundits said. Other commentators said the tax cut would

boost spending and help the economy. Regardless – if you’re a family that’s trying to make ends meet, and your credit cards are at their limits, you may not care if your government is rolling the dice on future revenues. Any help looks like good help. We don’t know if Bloy is right or wrong. Time will tell. But we do know that, given the twists and turns on the provincial political scene up to now, we wouldn’t rule anything out.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Why no full station consultations?

Dear Editor:

Re: Cameron station is needed, Letters to the editor, Burnaby NOW, Nov. 10 Evergreen Line’s broken promise with respect to Burnaby’s Cameron Street is no surprise to Port Moody residents who were promised a station near the Barnet Highway, one of 12 when the original light-rail system was planned. Dropping the Cameron station in Burnaby, despite high density development around it, is inexplicable. The Evergreen Line’s alternative to a western station in Port Moody is also inexplicable. So why wasn’t there a full public consultation on the most important issue to locals: station loca-

by the Lebanese (via their visitors Hezbollah), the Gazans, in the past the Egyptians, Syrians in the past (fortunately not lately), Iraqis, Russians, in the past, Turks in Cyprus, China in Tibet – shall we name a few more? Israel does not! A few civilians were killed in the latest round a couple of years ago in response to 10,000 rockets aimed at civilians by Gazans. Most of those were unfortunate casualties when their homes, schools, hospitals, mosques, etc. were used as bases for attacks on Israel – primarily so since the government of Gaza knows that Israel does not target civilians. Israel is likely the only nation in the history of warfare which warned civilians to get out of the way of certain targets, with plenty of time to do so. Criticism of Israel is fine, but please use it in conjunction with criticism of Turkey, China, Gaza, the Palestinians, Iran, Iraq, and a host of other nations. Why are you singling out one? Bill Gruenthal, Burnaby

Why no support for STV? Dear Editor:

So the Liberal party is adopting a preferential voting system to choose its next leader. One has to wonder why neither the Liberals nor the NDP would commit to supporting BC-STV in the last referendum. The mayor thought the system was too complicated for him to support. Why would a party not support an electoral system that was clearly fairer than the first-past-the-post system we currently use? Those who opposed STV used voters’ fear of change and complexity to bolster the “No” vote last time around. Clearly, the limitations of first-past-the-post favour

the two well-funded parties. It should be worth remembering that only the Green party came out strongly in favour of preferential voting. Voters will do well to remember that in future municipal and provincial elections when they feel forced to choose the party they dislike least. Rick McGowan, Burnaby

Hey, NDP: No need to panic Dear Editor:

Re: Locals are sticking with James, Burnaby NOW, Nov. 17 The Campbell Liberals are imploding, and the NDP seems to think they should imitate them. By doing so, they committed their second irreversible blunder since Campbell’s sneak attack with the HST. The first was joining the anti-HST forces, the second was taking internal “problems” public. It is apparent that some of the boys feel that because they are in possession of a certain unmentionable physical characteristic (which Ms. James lacks), they must know best. Bob Simpson publicly started the virus that has spread though the NDP, and the press, by stating that Carole James’ comments were “simply politicking for the press.” Why blame her for speeches that are written and sanctioned by the party? Is the B.C. NDP an all-inclusive gender party or just an other old boys’ club? The liability for the failure to regain political dominance in B.C. is a breakdown in party procedures, not the style of any one individual. Carole James is a believable, sincere and dedicated party member. Her detractors should learn to contain their opinions of her imagined failings within the party and stop inviting the press and the opposition to take potshots at her. Rally round the flag, boys, or you’ll surely be buried wrapped in it. Brian J. O’Neill, Burnaby

Rowing: Watch out for turtles continued from page 6

is now a known turtle transit corridor. So each time a motorboat or racing shell transits a rowing lane, it may well be harassing and even harming turtles. Rowing activity that frightens or otherwise inhibits them from crossing the lake during daylight hours may seriously harm them. City hall also has to acknowledge the impact on prospective rowing venue users of the potentially huge penalties set forth in the act. For example, under Section 97

(1), a criminal conviction on one offence (say hitting and injuring a turtle with an oar) can net a race sponsor fines of up to $1 million and the actual individuals (coaches or rowers) fines of up to $250,000, five years in prison, or both. Under Section 97 (3), subsequent offences double the fines. This will greatly complicate the day-to-day use of any training and competition rowing venue in Burnaby Lake. I suggest that you have NOW reporters ask Mayor Corrigan about these issues. Is he writing

a proper venue management plan for his proposed facility? Is he getting that plan approved in the ministries of the environment in Ottawa and Victoria before he sinks more Burnaby tax dollars into what might well become an unusable facility? Or is he waiting for the first charges to be filed under the act before he blusters and blames other governments for his own failure to recognize that Burnaby Lake is endangered species habitat?

communication gap between the city and Burnaby’s Chinese and Taiwanese population, he said. Prior to running, Chang was a TV host on Fairchild Television. He emigrated from Taiwan 18 years ago. Chang said he feels his approach is working, and the Taiwanese and Chinese communities are participating in municipal politics more. “More and more Chinese people are coming out to vote,” he said. Coun. Anne Kang, who

is serving her first term along with McDonell and Chang, has enjoyed her first term but agreed with McDonell that there is a steep learning curve to the job. She was a member of the environment and waste committee prior to running as councillor and is proud of the work the committee has done this year. Specifically she mentioned the food scrap pickup program implemented for single- and two-family residences last summer. Like McDonell, she also mentioned the social

sustainability strategy that the social sustainability committee is working on as a feather in the current council’s cap. Gord Larkin, president of the BCA, said the party hasn’t set a date to nominate candidates for the next election as of yet, but it would probably be in late spring. The Burnaby NOW left voicemail messages and e-mails for previous TEAM and independent candidates but received no responses. jfuller-evans@ burnabynow.com

One dead in three-car crash on Gaglardi Way Alfie Lau

staff reporter

A 22-year-old West Vancouver man is dead and several others hurt after a Wednesday afternoon car accident on Burnaby Mountain. The collision occurred just before 4 p.m. on Gaglardi Way between Broadway and Burnaby Mountain Parkway, near Simon Fraser University. A 2007 black Pontiac G5 was travelling northbound up Gaglardi Way when it veered into oncoming traffic and struck a Chevrolet Blazer head-on. A third vehicle was unable to avoid the collision and stuck the Pontiac. The 22-year-old driving the Pontiac G5

died from the injuries he sustained in the crash. The driver of the Chevrolet Blazer sustained a fractured leg, and her passenger was treated for minor injuries. The other driver was also treated for minor injuries. “It is early in the investigation, but speed, distracted driving and road conditions may have been contributing factors in the crash,” said Burnaby RCMP Cpl. Brenda Gresiuk in a press release. The police are asking any drivers who were in the area at the time of the collision and witnessed the vehicle’s driving pattern to please contact Const. Wade Young at 604-294-7922. alau@burnabynow.com

Adventure race coming to Burnaby in May Alfie Lau

staff reporter

Come May 28, 2011, more than 400 competitors will be kayaking, orienteering, mountain biking and trekking their way up, around and down Burnaby Mountain at SFU in the 32nd edition of the Atmosphere Mind Over Mountain Adventure Race (MOMAR). The off-road multi-sport race will require individuals or teams to mountain bike, kayak, orienteer and trek through a series of checkpoints. Each race has two course options: a 30-km sport course or a 50-km enduro course.

“Burnaby is a fantastic venue for a MOMAR,” says race director Bryan Tasaka. “The trail system on Burnaby Mountain is amazing, the Simon Fraser University campus is spectacular and Burrard Inlet is a fantastic place for a paddle.” “Burnaby is excited to host the Mind Over Mountain Adventure Race. This is a tremendous opportunity to showcase the outdoor recreational pursuits available in Burnaby,” said Matthew Coyne, executive director for Tourism Burnaby. “The MOMAR is a terrific addition to the growing number of sport events that have chosen Burnaby as their host destination, and we are thrilled to partner up with them.” www.twitter.com/AlfieLau

Tax: Economy is in ‘terrible shape’ continued from page 1

“This is the trickle-down argument the Liberals have been operating under for the last decade, and it hasn’t worked. The economy is in terrible shape,” she said, adding she doesn’t believe the Liberals will stick to the tax cut. “I don’t understand where Harry gets the idea they are going to keep it. They are preparing a budget based on the premise that the tax cut is not there.” Corrigan said Campbell originally announced the cut “to save his political

skin.” “(It was) a desperate political move by Gordon Campbell to get the support of the public,” she said. The Liberals are scheduled to pick a new leader

on Feb. 26, 2011. The throne speech is set for Feb. 14, but it will only cover the period until the next Liberal leader is sworn in. The budget will be tabled on Feb. 15.

SFU physicists part of major scientific first Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Physicists are a step closer to solving one of science’s biggest mysteries: is there a difference between antimatter and matter? An SFU student and his supervising professor are part of the international team that has managed to catch atomic antimatter for the first time ever. Mohammad Dehghani Ashkezari, a physics PhD student, and his supervising professor Mike Hayden are working in Switzerland at CERN, the world’s biggest particle physics labora-

tory and home of the Large Hadron Collider, a massive particle accelerator. “Even though scientists have now been producing antihydrogen atoms for about 15 years, no one has ever managed to hang on to them. Within a tiny fraction of a second, the newly produced antimatter atoms collide with some ordinary matter and disappear in a flash,” Hayden said. “We’ve managed to create a complicated magnetic bottle in which the antimatter can be stored, without ever touching the walls.” Even though they can

only hold onto the antimatter particles for a 10th of a second, the development will allow scientists to collect detailed measurements and compare antimatter and matter. According to a media release from CERN, the lack of antimatter is one of the biggest mysteries of science: “Matter and its counterpart are identical except for opposite charge, and they annihilate when they meet. At the big bang, matter and antimatter should have been produced in equal amounts. However, we know that our world is made up of matter: anti-

matter seems to have disappeared.” No one is sure why the universe’s scales tipped towards matter. Scientists

are investigating whether a difference in the properties between the two are the cause. The development is part of the ALPHA col-

laboration, which involves about 40 scientists from eight countries. www.twitter.com/ JenniferMoreau

Store brands just fine F

rom electronics to groceries, from vitamins to hardware, there has been an explosion of “house brands” in the retail business in recent years. You must have seen them when you’re shopping: Wal-Mart’s Great Value brand; Superstore’s President’s Choice and No Name; Jimmy Pattison’s stores’ Western Family; Costco’s Exact. From The Bay’s Truly to Canadian Tire’s Mastercraft (not to be confused with Sears’ Craftsman range of tools and equipment!) house brands are proliferating. Often, store brands go headto-head with national or even international brands, and many consumers find there is little difference. Are store-brand cornflakes better than Kellogg’s, for example? Are Safeway’s roasted peanuts any different from Planters? Does a Mastercraft screwdriver drive a screw better than one made by, say, Stanley Tools? There’s no denying you can save a lot of cash by buying store brand products instead of name brands. But do they taste as good? Do they work as well? The only way to find out is to try for yourself. Alarmingly for the big global companies, many customers are saying they don’t find much difference at all and are happy to save money because usually, the store brand is less expensive than the national one. Lower prices are what first drives customers to try the store brands, but good quality keeps them coming back, according to one retail analyst, writing in The Economist. Store brands, he continues, have morphed from the bland, sub-par products of 20 or even 10 years ago to true competitors for name brand foods, electronics and tools. And recent research by Ipsos Marketing suggests that 80 per cent of consumers agree. And that’s hardly surprising since many store brands are manufactured by the same people who make the national brands. Brand name prices can be kept lower for several reasons. First of all, the store deals directly with the manufacturer, cutting out the wholesaler’s markup. Secondly, the goods can be shipped Shop Talk Page 18

Grad photos with a twist Studio offers green screen technology for high school graduation photo shoots Janaya Fuller-Evans

staff reporter

Rob Johnson has run AAA Photography since 1977, with a focus on amateur athletic association photos. He provides his clients with options such as photo buttons, magazine covers, double-take photos and team trader cards, trying to make the photos more fun for the young athletes. Today, he is redirecting that energy to an important moment in a young person’s life beyond the soccer field or the baseball diamond – graduation. Johnson grew up in Burnaby, attending McPherson Park Junior Secondary School and then Burnaby South Senior High School. Now, Johnson is marketing his new green screen photo studio to high schools in the city. “We’re hoping we’re going to get some high schools (as clients),” he says. “Give the kids some choice, let them have some fun.” To that end, he has opened Burnaby’s first green screen photo studio, he says.

Boosting business in Burnaby Burnaby Board of Trade promotes economic development program Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

Burnaby’s Board of Trade has been busy this year. That’s the message Darlene Gering, president and CEO of the board, brought to council Monday night. Gering went over the board’s many accomplishments in a presentation about the board’s funding through the economic development program. She referred to the close relationship the organization has with city hall. “We’re very proud of the relationship we hold with the City of Burnaby,” she said in her presentation. “I think it’s one of the strongest in Canada.” The board has more than 1,100 members and is one of the fastest growing boards of trade in Canada, Gering added. She spoke primarily about the board’s efforts to increase international trade opportunities and relationships. In September, Burnaby’s Board of Trade visited China and had a starring role at B.C.

Opening on the Horizon

Out of the ashes:

Horizons Restaurant on Burnaby Mountain was damaged by fire last spring. The restaurant underwent major renovations, with some monetary help from the city, and is set to reopen this Wednesday.

Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

Horizons Restaurant is slated to reopen on Wednesday, Nov. 24, according to restaurant operator Geoffrey Howes. Horizons, at 100 Centennial Way in Burnaby Mountain Park, was extensively damaged by a fire that started on an outside deck on April 15. The renovations have taken place over the past five months, Howes said. “We actually had to rebuild the restaurant from the inside out,” he said. More information will be released in the coming week, he added. The Burnaby landmark got a monetary boost from the city to aid in repairs this fall. The tenant, Toseki Entertainment, and its insurer committed to returning the restaurant to its original condition while also updating the building, according to a September report from the City of Burnaby’s finance department. City council voted to put $286,000 towards repairing the popular Horizons Restaurant, which is located on cityowned property. In addition to repairing all the damage caused by the fire, the restoration also includes the replacement of the front entry canopy; larger, double-glazed windows; an additional two inches of insulation on the roof deck, a new handicap access ramp; upgrades to the outside deck; a new exterior paint job; and repairs to the building near the rear exit stairs. “The enlarged window openings and new canopy will result in a building profile that is more modern and more appealing,” the report stated, adding double-glazed windows and increased insulation would make the building more energy efficient. The tenant and insurer funded all fire-related repairs and code upgrades, but the city covered the cost of enlarging the west- and north-facing window openings, using double-glazed window panes and the additional roof-top insulation. jfuller-evans@burnabynow.com

Birthday parties are full of festive fun Continued from PAGE1 “We put on a production. It’s really, really well done,” Ramos says. At the girl birthday parties, the backroom of the store is set up like a powder room. The girls get dressed up in fancy ball gowns and if there are any boys on board, they get to dress up like pirates. “It’s very Cinderella-ish,” Ramos says about the parties. The kids walk down the runway and put on a fashion show for the parents. Afterwards, they do a formal high tea party with real china. Attendees get a 5x7 picture of themselves. The birthday parties cost between $350 and $850. “The parties have done really well,” Ramos says. Kiss a Frog also hosts parties for guest appearances from famous princesses like Belle and Cinderella. There are also table and tea etiquette lessons, where little ones learn table manners. Along with the popular parties, Kiss a Frog will continue to sell toys and children’s clothes. The shop has an abundance of cute offerings, such as tin tea sets, delicately feminine crystal chandeliers, tea sets, vintage toys, cute clothes and reclaimed wood furniture. Kiss a Frog is located at 948 12th St.

Sometimes, saving pennies just isn’t worth it CLICK & CLACK TALK CARS Ray & Tom Magliozzi

Dear Tom and Ray: My husband insists that taking the centre seats out of our Toyota Sienna will increase our gas mileage and save us a lot of money over time. I don’t mind them being out sometimes, but he doesn’t want to put the seats in for friends, who then have to ride in the third seat, which is uncomfortable and hard for older adults to get into. He will not put the seats in when our grandchildren visit, so that when we all go somewhere, someone has to take an extra car. I say, Why have a passenger van if you are not going to use the seats? I can see not having the seats if we go on a long trip and it is just the two of us riding. Does it really save that

much gas mileage to remove the center seats of the Sienna? Please, help our marriage! Thank you. – Naomi TOM: We have nothing against trying to save a few bucks, Naomi. But at some point, the obsession with saving money can override normal human behaviour. RAY: And I’m afraid your husband is pushing right up against that line. What’s next? Is he going to insist that you stay home with the seats so he can save a little more weight? Where does it end? TOM: He is correct in theory about the seats. I don’t know what year Sienna you have, but the newest, heaviest captain’s chairs that are optional as middle seats in the new Sienna weigh about 75 pounds each. So let’s give him the benefit of the doubt and use the heaviest possible middle seats to do the calculation. RAY: So he’s shaving 150 pounds from a vehicle that weighs about 4,500 pounds

with the two of you in it. TOM: Cutting down on weight does increase mileage. I don’t know if the two things are directly proportional – they’re probably not, but let’s assume they are, to estimate. RAY: So he’s shaving about three per cent off the vehicle’s weight. If we increase the mileage by a similar percentage, that means that instead of getting an average of about 20 miles per gallon, with the seats out he’s getting 20.6 m.p.g. TOM: And for that, he’s ticking off his wife, alienating his friends and telling his grandkids that his gas mileage is more important than they are. Makes perfect sense to me! RAY: Yeah. That’s why my brother has no friends, and his family won’t speak to him. TOM: Actually, we’re on your side, Naomi. It’s crazy to buy a seven-passenger minivan and then use it as if it’s a four-passenger sedan. RAY: Why not just buy a

sedan in the first place? For the same money you spent on a minivan, you can get a more luxurious and lighter sedan, which gets better mileage all the time, with all of its seats in! TOM: So you have to try to reason with this guy. I know that seems like a lost cause, but give it a

The power to keep believing Tom Berridge sports editor

They look like pixies as they dance on narrow wooden beams and seemingly float effortlessly through the air. But the calloused palms of teenage Burnaby gymnast Briannah Tsang tell a different story. “There was a time I thought I couldn’t do this anymore and I really wanted to quit. But my mom said to just keep going and I could get through this,” said Tsang. That was three years ago. Since then, the Grade 9 Burnaby North Secondary student is quite possibly only a year or two away from joining an elite few who will make it to the senior national level. Tsang has already earned a spot on the Canadian national junior artistic gymnastics team and is the recipient of three consecutive provincial gymnast of the year awards. The latest was being named the Kate Richardson outstanding female athlete of the year at the Gymnastics B.C. annual awards banquet last month. “I was pretty surprised because I thought someone else would win it. So that came as a bit of a shock,” Tsang said. Those other someones were Omega Gymnastics Academy teammate Shae Zamardi and Taylor Ricci of Flicka Gymnastics. All three finished in the top eight at the Canadian junior championships in Kamloops in May. Tsang placed seventh in the all-around at the nationals, while also qualifying on three separate individual apparatus.

nastics also has its lows, says Tsang. The sport she says is one where personal doubts have a direct bearing on success or failure. “Everyone doubts themselves,” she said. “It’s the ones who can persevere, even when it’s tough. ... As you go higher in the levels, (gymnasts) either quit or go to the lower levels, so you know (the others) are tough, when they’re still at a high level.” She says committing to training for up to 30 hours, six days a week year after year is taxing on young athletes. “But I thought, why did I spend so much time doing this just to give up. I’m happy I made that decision,” Tsang said. Gymnastics has also helped her believe in herself. She says many gymnasts are probably capable of performing at a level

The Burnaby North Vikings lost a heartbreaking final at the Lower Mainland AAA boys’ volleyball championships. The district champions fell in a five-set tiebreaker to upstart wild card qualifier Eric Hamber Griffins in the provincial qualifying final at St. George’s School Wednesday. Leading 2-0 in the final game, North was forced to sit star power hitter Preston Wong with a muscle cramp for most of the next two sets, allowing the Vancouver No. 4 seed to mount a comeback rally. Hamber claimed the No. 1 Mainland seed with a 23-25, 21-25, 25-17, 25-20, 15-11 score. “That was the biggest difference,” said fourthyear North coach Aaron Lock. In the final tiebreaker, the Vikings fell behind 8-3 at the interval but Wong, clearly slowed by the cramp, still managed to rally North to within a point of Hamber. Trailing 10-5, North broke back, picking up four points on Wong’s service and three back-court kills. But it wasn’t enough. North upset B.C. No. 7-ranked Vancouver Technical in five sets to advance to the Mainland final. The Vikes also got by a stubborn Burnaby South in four sets in the quarter-

There, she won gold in the individual vault and a silver medal in floor exercises, while also finishing

seventh on uneven bars. “Well, like every kid, your dream is the Olympics, I guess,” said

Tsang. “It’s still my dream, but I would like to get a scholarship with a university in the States.” Both are very real possibilities for the powerful 14-year-old. In 2007, Tsang stood on the podium in her first high-profile level appearance at the national championships, winning the floor in the national novice division. The following year, she took top spot in the vault at the Elite Canada competition. Last year, Tsang dominated the Elite Canada competition at the junior national level, winning both the individual floor and vault, while also placing runner-up on bars. She also took the overall bronze medal in the all-around at the elite competition. “It’s like amazing and exciting,” Tsang said. “It’s kind of like I can’t believe I did it.” Despite the highs, gym-

Daniel Wenzek curled his way to a berth in the Canada Winter Games. The 15-year-old Burnaby skip, who attends the Esquimalt High School Curling Academy, along with third Nolan Reid, second Max Langlais, and lead Calvin Heels stole their way to victory at the Games qualifying bonspiel last weekend in Vernon. Tied 3-3 without last rock, playing the last end of the final against Brady Ursel of Vernon, Wenzek drew top button and inched his rock behind overlapped stones on the top eight-foot circle. Trying to find a bigger piece of the button, Ursel’s hammer shot was

Derrick Bassi earned an invitation to the Canadian under-20 national soccer team training camp in December. The Simon Fraser University freshman defender earned a Great Northwest Athletic Conference all-star mention for the 19-1-0 varsity Clan team this season. Bassi is a former member of Canada’s u-17 national team.

All-academics

Seven runners on SFU’s cross-country team were named to the GNAC allacademic team Nov. 16. Five women made the scholar squad, including independent region champion Helen Crofts, with a 4.04 grade point average in sciences. Also named were Emily Palibroda, Brianna Kane, Olivia Brennan and Burnaby South grad Emma Vogt, who maintained a 3.35 GPA in biological sciences. Brett Wakefield and James Young were named to the men’s academic team.

Six to grid squad

SFU seniors Kris Gluppe and Marc DesLauriers were both named to the GNAC first all-star football team. Earning a spot on the second team were running back Gabe Ephard, Justin Capicciotti, Adam Berger and Nigel Palma.

Simon Fraser University junior Chelsea Elvy was named to the Great Northwest Athletic Conference all-academic team in volleyball Nov. 10. The right side hitter posted a 3.89 grade point average in sciences despite battling injury for much of the season.

Burnaby Central grad Rachel Harker was named to the Southwest Athletic Conference first all-star team Nov. 3.

With all three of his teammates sweeping the line, the finish was perfect, although the final result was somewhat unexpected. “I thought it was light and inside ... it felt good when it landed.” The three other teams at the qualifier had all medalled at the B.C. Winter Games last season, but, in a new twist this year, Curl B.C. added a backdoor qualifier, which Wenzek won two weeks ago in Cloverdale. It was the first time Wenzek’s team had curled together, and except for having a connection to Wenzek, none of the oth-

Burnaby skaters shine at sectionals Burnaby figure skaters did well at the Skate Canada sectional championships in Kelowna last weekend. Andrew Lum placed second behind Coquitlam clubmate Ronald Lam in the senior men’s division, following a 95.96 score in the free skate. Lum trailed eventual third-place finisher Patrick Wong of the North Shore Winter Club after the short program. Lam won the event with a 175.16 score. Lum finished second with a 144.78 tally. Rika Inoda of Burnaby also came home with a silver medal, garnering 105.66 total points in the senior women’s category. Devon Neuls of White Rock won the senior women’s event. Burnaby skaters topped the junior men’s division. Nam Nguyen defeated his North Shore Winter Club teammate Pollux Yeung following a sparkling 159.11 score, including a 108.63 free skate. Only Lam and Nguyen scored more than 100 points in the final long program. Nguyen’s final score, which included a 50.48 in the short program, was also the second highest

recorded at the men’s sectionals. Another NSWC skater, Janet Truoung of Burnaby, won the junior women’s event, tallying 108.08 points. Kitty Qian placed fourth in the highly competitive category with a 100.95 total score. Up-and-coming Burnaby Figure Skating Club skaters Nami Inoda, Adonis Wong and Ajax Wong also did well. Nami placed fourth in the novice women’s after a strong final free skate. Nami’s final score was 88.18, just under five points behind the champion Brianna Delmaestro of Coquitlam. Caelen Dalmer of Burnaby finished in sixth place. Melissa Nguyen also competed in the novice event. Adonis topped both the short and long programs to win the pre-novice men’s title with a 76.66 score. Ajax placed fourth overall at 61.56. Travis Winn of Burnaby also finished in the top 10. In the junior dance, Burnaby skater Qwynn Dalmer and Inlet club’s Sara Aghai won the title over runners-up Troy Shindle of Burnaby and Inlet’s Larissa Van As.

ers knew each other. “Our team was kind of put together at the last minute,” said Reid, a 17year-old from Duncan, who also plays with Wenzek on a junior men’s team skipped by Josh Hozack. In the four-team round robin, their only loss was to Ursel, whose grandfather Jim Ursel, a Brier champion, and dad Bob Ursel, a three-time B.C. champ, watched from behind the glass. “A lot of ends, we just stole points,” Reid said. “We loaded it in the house, and we loaded it up front.” “Daniel did fantastic,” coach Cindy Tucker said. “For him to have that kind of composure was very cool to see.”

Mike Santorelli tallied his fourth goal of the season on a snap shot to help the NHL Florida Panthers record a 5-2 win over Philadelphia Nov. 13. It was Santorelli’s sixth point of the season with the Panthers and third goal in his last five games. That included the game-winning marker and a first-star nod in a 2-1 win over Minnesota on Nov. 12.

The Northwest Giants moved into a second-place tie with the South Island Thunderbirds following a three-point weekend. The Giants started the road weekend with a 5-1 win over the North Island Silvertips. The Giants then salvaged an important single point in Sunday’s matchup, tying the contest 44 on a hat trick by Alex Roberts, including a pair in a come-from-behind three-goal third period. Mitchell Steinke also tallied for the visitors in the final frame. On Saturday, the Burnaby Winter Clubbased Giants got goals from five individual players, including the eventual game-winner from scoring leader Alex Kerfoot. Austin Barr, Tayler Tanti, Chris Critchley and Roberts also tallied for the Giants, who improved their season record to 112-3.

Ron graduated from North Vancouver High and from UBC and went on to earn a Masters from the University of Oregon. He dedicated much of his life to working as a special counselor with challenged youth in Burnaby. Ron loved the outdoors and was an avid hiker, skier and sailor. Known by many as The Beagle Man, Ron was a common sight on north shore trails as he walked the many beagles he had over the years. Family and friends would like to give a special thanks to the North Shore Palliative Care nurse Janett and Dr. Paul Sugar for their wonderful care in Ron’s ﬁnal days. A private service will be held for Ron’s family. A celebration of Ron’s life will take place in February. Please express interest in attending this by emailing RonPearsonCelebration@gmail.com. Donations in Ron’s memory to continue his work with challenged youth may be made payable to the Burnaby School District/Frodo Fund, 5325 Kincaid St., Burnaby, BC V5G 1W2.

CAREER COACH Bitter or Grateful?

This article is by Chris Newell, Career Coach and Facilitator with Transitions Career & Business Consultants. Chris Newell When I was quite young, I remember hearing a lot of negativity concerning work, money and bills, such as: “you have to work to survive, nobody likes their work”; “money is a necessary evil”; and “bills, bills, bills” (exasperated tone here). I wondered what made working such a bad experience for people that they were miserable so much of the time. What was the point in going to a job they didn’t like to earn money that they were resentful about spending, and then spend the rest of the time complaining about it all? It seemed depressing to spend one’s whole life feeling so bitter about this whole process and about something that is a huge part of life, given that we all need to make a living and pay bills. Life is just too short! So, I went on a quest to find another way of living and working in a more positive, purposeful and productive way. I read books, such as: What Colour is My Parachute?” and I experimented with different types of jobs, either by working in that area, or by taking courses or volunteering to learn more about it. After much exploring (almost 18 years), I found my ideal career, which allows me to feel grateful, not bitter, about going to work and generating enough money to pay my bills (and for me, bills mean I have something such as a home or car that I can even pay for). These last 13 years, I’ve had a positive experience surrounding work and life because of never giving up my quest to find a satisfying career. I feel grateful, not bitter. How about you? For help finding the work you love, call Transitions Career & Business Consultants, coordinators of The Transitions Program, a free 3-week career exploration program available to all unemployed people at 604-434-1177 or 604-681-2774.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Cancer June 21-July 22: Work and health issues loom large for the next four weeks. These are most intense to Dec. 7, as work swells and the stakes rise in your reputation and career zones. A working partnership might be volatile, but if you can keep tempers level, a splendid success is possible. Rest, withdraw to plan and contemplate Sunday to Tuesday eve. Midweek, your energy and charisma step up a notch – start projects, tasks. Chase money, or spend, Friday/Saturday. This month ahead will favour machinery. This week, buy it Friday, but watch for electrical/tech faults. Romance? Next week. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The weeks ahead offer romance, pleasure, beauty, creative surges and speculative urges.This is your time to accent your own desires, to take a chance on your talents – to expand and express yourself! A semi-romantic relationship could take off with fireworks the first two weeks, or a new, intense romance could spark. However, neither of these is likely to emerge into a stable marriage. You might wed, swiftly and impulsively, but create huge tensions as a result. Be patient. 2011 is your time. Your hopes, popularity soar early week. Rest, midweek. You shine, Friday/Saturday! Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Home, children, diet, nutrition, Mother Nature, gardening, parks, rest, hibernation, security, real estate – these form your “best world” for the month ahead. You might invest in property, or renovate or improve your present abode, especially over the immediate two weeks ahead. That’s good, BUT be aware of two “unforeseens” – 1) an unpredictable reaction by your mate, and/or 2) electrical issues. Make sure both are “settled” before you begin. You’ve had a bit of a wild ride in relationships over the last seven years. Decide now with whom you’ll go to the future.

Aries March 21 - April 19: A month of mellow understanding, gentle love, intellectual pursuits, legal, travel, cultural and religious involvements begins Monday morning. As your planet (Mars) is in this same area until early December, the first two weeks of this period will be intense, memorable and “high stakes.” You could fall in love, engage in a major lawsuit, travel afar – something unusual, a once-in-a-decade thing. Be honest, true-hearted; if you are not, the rest of December, into January, could bring retribution from higher-ups. Someone is ready for love with you. You’re romantic, Friday/Saturday! Taurus April 20-May 20: The weeks ahead accent depths, mysteries, investments and debts, lust, lifestyle changes, health diagnosis and cures. Your subconscious desires swell to the surface. A big decision or commitment might be demanded of you. For the next two weeks, these matters are more intense, more “impatient” than usual – and might also have more “strings attached” than is healthy. Be cautious, don’t be rushed into a situation or promise. Chase money Sunday to Tuesday – luck’s mixed, so be alert. Errands, paperwork, casual friends frustrate Wednesday, succeed Thursday. Home, family Friday onward. Gemini May 21-June 20: Drudgery ends, fresh horizons blow in, now to late December. A “quiet” relationship might take off like a rocket, or a new one begin. Links, confrontations, opportunities, challenges, competition, enmity, attraction – all grow intense. But in all the intensity, even in enmity, there is a definite streak of friendship, buoyancy and hope. A mingling effect can occur – e.g., love/hate, or you might become “best enemies.” Relocation and business/fame opportunities arise. Maturity, flexibility, diplomacy and an eagerness to join are your success tools. You’re energetic, charming this week!

Nov. 21 - Nov. 27

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: The weeks ahead feature travel, paperwork, errands, details, casual acquaintances and siblings, and communications. Usually this would be a ﬁne time to buy phones, computers, etc. – but lemons lurk until Dec. 7 (and to some degree until March 2011) so delay such purchases if you can. As in the last few weeks, you might meet a “viable” potential mate while travelling or talking. But here, too, glitches exist – long-term tension and/or an unpredictable relationship. Patience, Libra – real love’s coming! Enjoyment, happiness abound this week! Be ambitious Thursday (morning best). Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: The month ahead emphasizesmoney,possessions,sensualinvolvements and memory or rote learning. (This is always your best 30 days of the year to memorize anything – vocabulary, foreign languages, math techniques, etc.) Sensual = anything from good drapes, beautiful paintings, to someone’s closeness. Buy/sell, seek new clients, ask for a pay raise. BUT in all this, go slow before Dec. 8, as pitfalls exist. E.g., you might get too sensual and alienate a romantic prospect, or push too fast for a pay raise and spark tension. Love, legal, intellectual, travel success Thursday! Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness rise now through December! Your sexual magnetism, determination and “wilfulness” have already grown over the last few weeks – now these increase also. Start new projects, ask favours, see and be seen, attend “in person,” get your way, negotiate – you’re in charge! But, especially until Dec. 7, don’t recklessly overpower other’s needs, desires and sensibilities, or you could create “invisible rebellions” that erupt later, just when you need allies. This week’s happy. Financial, sexual luck soars Thursday! Love, wisdom Friday/Saturday.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Take a break. During the four weeks ahead, rest, contemplate and plan. Your energy will ebb. Attend to government-related tasks, institutional and charitable involvements. Fulfil obligations, but don’t volunteer for new ones. Avoid the spotlight. Avoid places where belligerent people gather – bars, dark alleys. Chores call Sunday to Tuesday – get them done. Relationships face you Tuesday eve through Thursday – be diplomatic, even evasive before Thursday. True friends, real loves, show Thursday. Mysteries, big finances, lifestyle decisions come Friday/Saturday – good results! Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Friends, popularity, wish fulfilment, optimism, flirtation and happiness visit for the next few weeks! You might face an unexpected dilemma in which your money and your wishes don’t agree, and you might have to choose one. Pick the dream – maybe you can accomplish it for less. You might discover that the person you “possess” doesn’t mix well with your friends. Choose friends – but don’t listen to friends’ advice about money. Romance, flirtation, pleasure, a risk-taking mood buoy you Sunday to Tuesday. Tackle chores midweek. Exciting meetings Friday/Saturday – forgo eccentricity. Pisces Feb.19-March20:Yourcareer,neighbourhood prestige, relations with parents and bosses, are emphasized for the month ahead. I’ve already warned you that bosses are temperamental. That continues to Dec. 7, so be diplomatic, good-humoured. Expect unexpected reactions, results! Hustle to perform tasks, to meet deadlines. Bosses love eager screwups more than competent grouches. (In some fields, engineering, math, medicine, Pisces are truly favoured now.) Sink into “domestic rejuvenation” early week. Creative, romantic success Thursday. Tackle chores Friday/Saturday – practise safety Saturday. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014

Justin Dhaliwal, Tyler Huguet, Nicholas PinedaGraham and Matthew Shannik also scored for the first-place under-16 Division 1 Selects. The Div. 2 u-16s remained in second place in its group with a 3-1 win over Richmond. In u-14 action, Christian Nichele scored Burnaby’s only goal in a 1-1 draw with Div. 1 Richmond United. Joel Padmore and Terran Campbell assisted on the goal. Stefan Cuk, Chris Milani and Michael Baldisimo all scored for the Selects in a 3-2 win over Richmond United in Div. 2 play. The u-18s were also unbeaten. The Div. 1 Selects blanked Vancouver 5-0 with Curtis Helm and Chris Diabikulu notching a pair of goals apiece.
