Predictions, anyone? Umbrellas to snow boots – and back again. That’s what Burnaby residents were faced with after a wild ‘n’ wet winter blast this past week. And get ready, it may be more of the same this week – though today (Saturday) is meant to have some sun, the forecast calls for heavy rain Sunday, with the rain continuing into Monday.

Corrigans throw support behind Horgan Janaya Fuller-Evans, Jennifer Moreau staff reporters

Mayor Derek Corrigan, and New Democrat MLA Kathy Corrigan announced their endorsement of John Horgan’s run for the B.C. NDP leadership on Thursday night.

The mayor and wife Kathy – vice-chair of the B.C. NDP caucus and MLA for Burnaby-Deer Lake – made the announcement at a rally for Horgan at Nikkei Place.

Derek said he was very impressed with Horgan, calling him “a fresh face that has a

lot of experience.”

He has a very broad view of the NDP’s mandate, Derek said, and can appeal to all sectors of B.C. “He’s got a good feel for business and labour, and a great respect for the local community,” he said.

He added that Horgan is a very passionate politician and has a vision for the party, and for the province.

Kathy has worked with Horgan as a fellow MLA, Derek added, and has a great deal of respect for him.

went with her judgment,” he joked.

Kathy described Horgan as intelligent, hard-working and involved a lot in policy direction.

“I’m a huge fan of John Horgan’s,” she said.

Horgan is MLA for the Malahat-Juan de Fuca riding and the NDP’s energy critic.

“He’s been very, very strong. He’s a nice man. He’s family man – he’s very close to his wife and family – he’s a got great sense of humour, he’s very good with the media,” Kathy said. “Frankly, I think John is the one with whom we have the best chance of

beating the Liberals. He’s not afraid to talk to business, and I feel the same way. We need to have a strong economy.”

Kathy said Horgan advocates for strong public services and is against privatization, particularly power.

When asked if Horgan could help heal the NDP caucus divide, given the very public fallout with former leader Carole James, Kathy said that all of the leadership candidates recognize the need to move on.

BURNABY COUPLE DEDICATE THEIR LIVES TO HELPING THIRD WORLD PEOPLE GAIN EYESIGHT

‘Everything in this room we have begged for’ B

urnaby’s Marina Roma-March and her husband, Derrick, are the couple behind the Third World Eye Care Society, an organization that outfits the poorest of the world’s poor with used eyeglasses from Canadians.

◆ n the cold basement of the Burnaby Lougheed Lions Club, Marina RomaMarch and her husband Derrick stand in the belly of the Third World Eye Care Society.

“Everything in this room we have begged for,” Marina says.

The shelves are lined with large plastic bins, full of countless pairs of donated eyeglasses from across Canada. They are destined for distribution through the society’s volunteer-run clinics set up in developing countries. Each ON MY BEAT pair of glasses Jennifer Moreau carries the potential to transform someone’s life.

“It’s just amazing. You take sight for granted,” Marina says. “In developing countries, it’s hard enough to find a job with vision. But without vision or poor vision, it’s harder. We’ve seen thousands of children who haven’t advanced in school because they can’t see to learn or read, for no other reason.”

One Filipino teen in particular stood out for the couple. He was just 15 years old and classified as legally blind – all because he couldn’t afford glasses.

His friend had to bring him to the clinic because he couldn’t see.

“Once we put the glasses on, he was fine,” Marina says. “The tears just started coming down his face because everything was just coming into focus.”

It’s that powerful transformative gesture which makes the work they do particularly moving.

“You feel they’ve struggled all their lives, and they just need a pair of eyeglasses,” Marina says. ◆

I

How it all began

Marina and Derrick started the society in 1995, before their twins were born. They visited service groups all over the Lower Mainland, doing talks five days a week to anyone who would listen. Sometimes they spoke for more than an hour, only to get a couple of donations. But things picked up, and by November that year, they had collected 10,000 pairs.

Since then, the society has helped 60,000 people around the world – that’s roughly the population of neighbouring 6

Vision for change: Derrick March and Marina Roma-March are the husband-and-wife team behind the Third World Eye Care

Society, a group that sends used eyeglasses to the poorest of the poor.

New Westminster. They’ve been on 14 aid missions in the past 15 years. Countries visited include the Philippines, Ethiopia, Cambodia, Mexico, Malawi and Vietnam – and that’s only a few. ◆

How they operate

The glasses come in from all over Canada, and the Burnaby basement functions like a processing centre. The glasses are cleaned in an industrial dishwasher, the men’s and women’s are separated and then sorted according to prescription strength. The bins are full of every colour and style imaginable, and there are cardboard boxes packed and ready for shipment overseas.

Once a year, the society sends a team of eye surgeons, eye doctors, opticians and volunteers abroad. They all pay their own way and are not allowed to take any personal items apart from what they can fit in their carry-on bags. Their luggage allotment is reserved for cardboard boxes packed with hundreds of eyeglasses.

The teams set up mobile clinics in churches, schools or the local town square

– anywhere people can find them. Marina says they can arrive at a clinic with up to 1,000 people waiting in line, often sleeping there overnight. In a 10-day stretch, the volunteers can see 3,500 to 5,000 people, who all get full eye exams as well.

And once people receive their new glasses, the reactions are often emotional.

“Lots of tears. Some people are so happy they dance, lots of hugs,” Marina says smiling. ◆

Honouring her grandmother

Part of the reason Marina started the group goes back to her grandmother.

Marina grew up in the Philippines but came to Canada when she was just six years old, and her grandmother lived with the family for 20 years. When Marina grew older, she enrolled in optometry school. By that time, her grandmother was well into her 90s and nearing the end of her life.

“She knew her time was coming up,” Marina says. “She knew she was dying, and her children wanted her to go back to the Philippines.”

But her grandmother wanted to stay in

Canada to see Marina graduate. She was proud of her granddaughter and wanted to bring Marina back to her village to help people who needed eye care.

“She just didn’t make it,” Marina says.

Starting the society was something she had to do – for her grandmother.

“It was something I knew I wanted to do in her honour,” she says.

The society’s first mission was to deliver eyeglasses to people living off of a garbage dump outside of Manila in the Philippines. At first, the children appeared to be wearing black clothing.

“As soon as they moved, it would be 100 flies coming off them,” Marina recalls.

The couple eventually made it to the grandmother’s remote village with a couple hundred pairs of eyeglasses and ran a small clinic in her memory. ◆

The next generation

The society is a family affair with the next generation as well.

Here’s how you can help The society’s 2011 mission will be to Nicaragua. Marina and Derrick need volunteers to help collect, clean and sort the glasses in their Burnaby storeroom.

Volunteers meet every Monday at 7 p.m. in the basement of the Burnaby Lougheed Lions Club, at 7420 Mulberry Place.

Up until Feb. 16, London Drugs and Suntech Optics will donate a pair of glass-

es to the society when people buy a pair of “Infokus” reading glasses. Last time they did this in 2009, the society received 3,200 pairs of glasses.

Eyeglasses donations can also be made at any optometrist office, and they will eventually make their way back to the society. To get involved, contact Marina through the website: www.twecs.ca.

Eye care: Emotional experiences continued from page 3

with their parents for the first time.

“It’s important that our kids understand what mommy and daddy have been doing all these years,” Derrick says. The concept of charity is something they want the twins, now eight years old, to understand.

“It’s the value of what we give and the reaction of people who get it.” ◆

Emotions and politics

The work can also be emotionally intense for the volunteers, as evident in their personal testimonials. Kim Pearce writes about her experience volunteering in Ethiopia, where throngs of people lined up for days.

“The first week of registering people was emotionally difficult as the people were so desperate. How do you justify shouting at people to move back when they have nothing and the ability to see will make such a great difference to their existence?”

Optometrist Pasqualino Marcantonio wrote of some of the more moving cases he saw in the Philippines: An elderly lady

who made shopping bags from recycled juice bags, couldn’t thread a needle, let alone sew, because of her deteriorating vision. All she needed was a simple pair of reading glasses. Then there are the children: an eight-year-old girl with a turnedin eye that seemed to straighten almost immediately after she was fitted with some glasses, and a three-year-old boy with an acute eye infection who just needed a topical antibiotic.

“Sometimes you just felt like a miracle worker,” Marcantonio writes.

Marina says some volunteers have held onto glasses of a recently departed loved one, wanting to personally pass them off to someone in the Third World. “(It’s) very emotional,” she says.

There are also behind-the-scenes political wranglings. In Vietnam, for instance, the Communist government was refusing to let the glasses into the country. In general, it takes a year to process the glasses and do all the accompanying paper work to ship them overseas.

but John and the whole of the caucus know we need to move forward.”

Horgan was excited about the rally and the support from the Corrigans, he said in an interview on Thursday afternoon.

Horgan worked closely with Kathy while she was on the Burnaby school board and he was the education critic for the NDP, he added.

But he is looking to build support outside of caucus, as well, Horgan said.

“Over the next 90 days, my job is to not just to get support from caucus members but also community leaders like Derek,” he said, “who have a long track record of positive government activity.”

He added that he and Derek are quite alike, saying both support investment and business building in B.C. Horgan also compared his riding with Burnaby, saying both are areas that are growing rapidly.

But he said it is also an advantage that he serves rural areas such as Prince Rupert, adding that the population in many rural areas of B.C. is shrinking rapidly because of the provincial government’s mismanagement of resources.

He hopes to change people’s perceptions of the NDP as being anti-business, he added, saying the NDP under him would welcome investment, provided the environment is considered first and foremost, and wages are fair.

Horgan agreed with Kathy that the party needs to move forward and put aside internal disagreements.

The dual leadership race with the Liberals is a good thing, he said, as it gives the NDP an opportunity to connect with undecided voters who “may well have been NDP members all their lives and just not known it.”

Horgan announced his plans to run, with support from Alberni MLA Scott Fraser and Esquimalt-Royal Roads MLA Maurine Karagianis, on Jan. 10.

Horgan was an assistant to former Vancouver Island MP Jim Manley and later served as a policy analyst under former premier Mike Harcourt.

Horgan worked as director of issues management under Glen Clark and was briefly chief of staff to Dan Miller when he served as interim premier after Clark resigned.

OUR VIEW

BCA. But naked party provincial politics played out in the media will, we think, stir concerns. Are they valid concerns?

Our opinion: only if it interferes with the job he is doing for the citizens of Burnaby. And that, dear readers, is why we have elections.

So far, the citizens are pretty darn happy, for the most part, with how the city is run. But if there’s discontent, the mayor’s involvement in a provincial

leadership contest will surely be used by opposition.

On a side note: It’s a bit of a media person’s dream mix. We have an MLA who’s the “peacekeeper” (see story on page 5) and a mayor who may have picked a guy who is not labour’s standard bearer. What will other city council members do, and who will they support?

Stay tuned – it promises to be a story that has as many legs as a centipede.

Dear Editor,

Re: Haiti’s problems are systemic, Letters to the editor, Burnaby NOW, Jan. 15.

I agree with Mr. Neil Swanson’s letter in sending shelter, food and medical care and a percentage of the money donated.

What I am disappointed in is our government’s promise to double the amount of donations on the money received. Yet, one year later, they have only sent a part of this money.

So we can’t put our fingers on others when our own government is part of the problem.

Mr. Swanson mentions “accountability” when it comes to “our” money donated by our “taxpayers.”

Putting the blame on the Haiti government is an

Taxes are way too high – but if you’re a senior, you don’t have to pay them.

The provincial government offers an excellent program for deferring your tax payments. It is very cheap, easy to get and makes total sense.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Tax deferral works well continued from page 6

You apply through the Internet or get forms from your city tax office.

It costs $60 (added to your tax deferral account) and a $10 charge each year (also added to your account). Interest right now is a low four per cent and is simple interest – it is not compounded.

Each year, all your taxes (except for water and sewer) are paid to the city by the provincial government and added as a tax lien to your tax account. When you sell your home, or die, the tax lien must be paid.

In the 41 years we’ve owned our home in Burnaby its value has increased by nine per cent, compounded, every year. So if you go into the tax deferral program for, say, 15 years, the net value of your home will still increase and you’ll still be leaving almost all that money to your heirs.

In the meantime you’ll have had an increase in the amount you can spend each month of at least $200.

Brian Johnson, Burnaby

Light bulb ban misguided Dear Editor:

What about freedom of choice? I am so angry at our throw-away society that I feel obliged to write about the ban on incandescent light bulbs which Thomas A. Edison worked so hard to develop.

The compact fluorescents (CFLs) are not suitable for some light fixtures. Does this mean they end up in the garbage?

Where are the savings then? What does that say about going “green”?

The consumer should be able to decide which bulb he wants to use where and when.

This ban is shortsighted. Until such

time that one can use the new CFLs for every occasion, the ban should be lifted.

I have stocked up on incandescent light bulbs to last my lifetime. I do not want to replace perfectly good light fixtures which I like and which have served me for many years.

The name of the party or individual or company who came up with this idea to impose the new law on the public should be published, so we who are upset about this issue could vote them out.

Investors who work with an advisor are 33% more likely to feel empowered and educated.†

Dear Editor:

During my recent visit to China, while being driven along one of China’s many excellent freeways, I watched the farmers working in the fields. I was struck by the contrast. The car and road were completely modern, but the farmers were using methods that haven’t changed in hundreds of years. They were using water buffalo to plow the fields and harvesting rice by hand. They were also cutting sugar cane by hand and loading it into two-wheeled ox carts. The only sign of the modern world was the motorbikes parked near where they were working.

This contrast demonstrates China’s dilemma. Somehow the 900 million living in the country in the same fashion as their ancestors have to be brought up to the standards of the 400 million in the cities who are living at near First World levels.

The Chinese government is aware of the problem and is trying to do something about it, but so far very little has happened.

I think that unless real progress is made soon, China is likely to be overwhelmed by social unrest.

trade. What he did not tell me was that this deal is much more about the rights of European corporations to favourable conditions of investment in our resources, industry and public services.

If it goes through, CETA will open up the environmental rules, standards and public spending priorities of provinces and municipalities, as well as federal, to direct competition and challenge from European corporations. It could cost us dearly to maintain important environmental legislation or to keep our water from being sold.

You may remember a

few years ago when the GVRD wanted to contract out our water system to a private operator. People came out in the thousands to protest, and the GVRD had to back down. What might that cost us under this new CETA deal?

In my opinion, by not explaining the full implications of CETA, Richard Lee was not being completely honest. He favours these trade deals and prefers we not know the truth.

To make wise choices, voters need to know.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS

Time to ‘drop, cover and hold on’ Burnaby businesses and schools to join in provincewide earthquake safety drill Wednesday Andrew Fleming staff reporter

If you find yourself inside an unfamiliar workplace next Wednesday, don’t be alarmed if you find workers hiding under their desks.

A wide variety of Burnaby businesses, non-profits and schools have joined more than 330,000 British Columbians in signing up to participate the first Great British Columbia ShakeOut. The inaugural earthquake safety awareness event involves a two-minute drill at 10 a.m. focusing on the mantra “drop, cover and hold on!” – meaning that if the earth starts moving, you should drop to the floor, find cover under a desk or other piece of solid furniture, and hold on to it for at least 60 seconds.

“I think a lot of people will actually be diving under their desks to get an actual feel for it,” said Scott Larson of Krasicki and Ward Emergency Preparedness Ltd., a Vancouver safety equipment supply business. “It really helps you to get a sense of just how long 60 seconds really is.”

Waves Coffee House continues to grow

In the last six years, Waves Coffee House has made quite a ripple in the java business.

In 2005, the local coffee purveyor opened its doors at the corner of Hastings and Richards streets in downtown Vancouver, and since then have opened about five new locations a year.

Today, there are 22 across the Lower Mainland, with a new Waves slated to open on Robson Street in early spring, as well as three in Calgary, Alberta.

Impressive for a company which was founded right here on the West coast.

“I think what makes us stand out is that we really are very much involved in the communities which we serve,” says Kayvan Rahmati, marketing director for the chain of coffee shops.

What makes Waves unique is how it encourages community groups to gather and enjoy its ambiance. Waves invite customers to linger and warm up around its fireplaces, cozy couches and leather chairs.

Head over to any Waves on any given day and you might catch reading club members bantering the merits of its monthly selection, while enjoying their favourite specialty drink. Or watch the creativity and camaraderie of the knitting group that gets together for inspiration and a laugh or two, once a week.

“We also have four of our locations which have conference rooms that anyone can book free of charge,” says Rahmati, adding all locations have free WiFi. “We want to be the neighbourhood gathering place.”

Waves provide a warm and inviting atmosphere, and offers espresso beverages, coffees, international loose leaf teas, real Belgian hot chocolate, and a variety of other caffeine free and high in antioxidant beverages.

They also feature delicious paninis and freshly baked goods, delivered fresh daily from local bakeries.

From the moment you walk into any Waves Coffee House, you’ll feel a warm and inviting energy and a sense of community that will keep you coming back.

In 2008 and 2010, Waves was recognized by the Brand Coaches as the Hottest Brand in Canada, beating out more than 1,500 specialty coffee retail businesses across the country.

RCMP officer charged with theft

A constable with two years of experience with the Burnaby RCMP has been charged with theft after police investigated the alleged taking of loose change from a desk drawer in a community policing office on several occasions.

Const. Derrick Holdenried, 37, is currently suspended from duty and will be appearing in Vancouver

Provincial Court on Feb. 14.

Holdenried also faces a separate internal code of conduct investigation.

The investigation began in the fall of 2010 when another RCMP officer reported loose change had gone missing from a workstation. This was reported to senior management, and an internal investigation was immediately started. During the investi-

gation, it was discovered that the amount of loose change taken was between $40 and $70.

“While the theft does not involve a lot of money, the fact is, as police officers, we’re in a position of trust, and any breach of that trust is taken very seriously,” said Sgt. Rob Vermeulen in an RCMP press release. alau@burnabynow.com

Discover lost stories

T

he Shadbolt Centre’s Triple Threat musical theatre series continues at the end of this month when Ten Lost Years takes to the stage at the James Cowan Theatre.

Ten Lost Years, presented by Seacoast Studios, brings to life the stories of the generation of Canadians who lived their formative years during the Great Depression.

“In a number of prairie landscape paintings, there’s a solitary figure or building pushing up past the horizon line, standing defiantly against an overwhelming sky.

That’s about as close as I can come to describing why the stories of this particular period affect me so much,” says director Scott Swan in a press release.

The show – which is told simply, with actors giving voice to images – first came into being in 1975, when Swan was living in Edmonton, working as the artistic director of a small theatre company.

He happened upon a Vancouver Sun reporter, Barry Broadfoot, who had written a book about the Great Depression, Ten Lost Years. The reporter, realizing that the stories of the Great Depression generation would be lost, went on leave and took his tape recorder across the country, asking people the question: “What do you remember about the Depression?”

The resulting memories have been turned into the stories that make up the show – which is different each time Swan directs it.

It’s on stage at Shadbolt Centre at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Jan . 29, and tickets are $30.

Shadbolt Centre is at 6450 Deer Lake Ave. For tickets and information, see www.shadboltcentre.com or call the box office at 604-2053000.

Something fishy:

At left, from left, Yvetta Fisher, Deborah Finkel, Chris McBeath (seated) and Jennifer Morabito are working at the fish packing plant in Pityme, B.C., in An Inconvenient Fish, playing at Shadbolt Centre for the Arts from Feb. 1 to 5.

Something’s fishy at the Shadbolt Sequel to Desperate Fishwives on stage Feb. 1 to 5 In 2007, Barbara Whiting and Patrick Cotter had them laughing at Shadbolt Centre for the Arts with Desperate Fishwives.

Next month, the two playwrights will introduce the long-awaited sequel to the production: An Inconvenient Fish. The farcical comedy opens Feb. 1 and plays until Feb. 5 at the Shadbolt Centre’s Studio Theatre.

It follows the tale of the six fishwives of Pityme, B.C. – who, in the original produc-

tion, had come up with a scheme to save the Pityme Sports Palace, by fundraising with a calendar of themselves in a variety of scantily clad, Canadiana-style poses.

Well, as it turns out, Oprah Winfrey took a liking to the women, luring them away from the fish plant and turning them – at least temporarily – into stars.

But, by the time we rejoin the fishwives again in this sequel, their fame has faded.

They’re back at the fish factory and, in their “intolerant trailer-park town,” they are the subject of finger-wagging shame.

As Cotter explains in a press release:

“However, the plant’s unscrupulous new owner, Floyd Codpiece, has a plan that would restore their fame for his personal gain. And if it brings the ladies global-wide shame? You can bet Codpiece won’t take the blame!”

To get in on the fun, check out An Inconvenient Fish in any of its nightly shows at 8 p.m.

The Shadbolt Centre is at 6450 Deer Lake Ave. Tickets are $20, available through the box office at 604-205-3000 or boxoffice@ burnaby.ca. jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

Explore biographies at library presentation Book lovers and film buffs should check out some upcoming special events at Burnaby Public Library’s McGill branch.

On Thursday, Jan. 27, it’s Librarians’ Choice: Biography and Memoir, running from 7 to 8:30 p.m.

Burnaby librarians will offer up an evening of fast-paced reviews of biographies and memoirs – the subjects being the famous, the infamous and, in some cases, the unknown. It’s free, but space is limited, so pre-registration is needed.

On Friday, Feb. 4, the library then hosts a National Film Board film night from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., with a screening of two thoughtprovoking documentary films.

The first is Tagged, a 27-minute film that explores the debate over RFID (radio

frequency identification) chips – touted as a tool with invaluable medical applications on the one hand, and denounced as the death knell for civil liberties on the other.

The second is Children of Soldiers, a 52minute film that explores the daily lives of children and teens from four military families at Canadian Forces Base Petawawa.

It’s free, and no registration is required, but space is limited, so arrive early.

On Thursday, Feb. 10, Burnaby authors Masako and Stanley Fukawa offer a presentation about their award-winning book Spirit of the Nikkei Fleet, running from 7 to 8 p.m. Again, it’s free, but pre-register.

A life in movement staff reporter

Billy Marchenski is fascinated by movement.

He loves to explore the ways in which the movement of the human body can express both literal realities and abstract concepts.

“I’ve always been interested in the threshold between the abstract and the literal,” he says, “what abstraction can say about the literal, and what the literal can say about the abstract.”

He loves the way, too, that movement works hand-in-hand with character, and how character can be expressed through physicality. It’s part of what he’s been exploring through dance and physical theatre for the past decade – and what he’s bringing to the stage at the Legion on Commercial Drive for Dances For a Small Stage 23, part of the PuSH Festival.

Marchenski, a graduate of Simon Fraser University’s theatre program in Burnaby, is curating and hosting the evening, alongside Tara Cheyenne Friedenberg.

They were invited by Julie-anne Saroyan, artistic producer of the contempo-

rary dance society MovEnt, to put together the production – part of the Dances For a Small Stage series that’s been going on since 2002.

The popular series brings unique contemporary dance to a cabaret setting, using a 10- by 13-foot stage to showcase cutting-edge performances.

Marchenski doesn’t find the small stage to be a limitation at all – in fact, he says, limitations can force you to be ever more inventive.

“It’s a restriction that can be very fruitful, artistically,” he says. “Sometimes too much freedom is not a good thing.”

Marchenski and Cheyenne Friedenberg came up with the idea to ask various dancers to create character-driven pieces. Each piece, five to seven minutes long, will be framed by Marchenski and Cheyenne Friedenberg as two Victorian characters “who take the audience on this journey through a macabre landscape.”

Marchenski doesn’t want to give too much away, but he says audiences should expect that the piece will say something about the Victorian era as composed to the modern day – and,

Enjoy a Vacation close to home!

Stars in the making: From left, Daniel Clark, Jake Meadows and Colin Clark are Ready Steady Go, in the top 10 for B.C.’s Best Teen Band.

Are they the best in B.C.?

Will a Burnaby band be named the Best Teen Band in B.C.?

Local voters can help determine the fate of Ready Steady Go in the online voting for the B.C.’s Best Teen Band Contest, being run by Youthink Magazine, Tom Lee Music and 100.5 The Peak Radio.

Ready Steady Go is a reggae-ska-rock band with members from Burnaby and North Vancouver. They’ve been playing together for more than seven years, performing in clubs, music halls, schools and festivals.

Their songs range from the poppy, feel-good vibe of Don’t Cry Love Your Life,

to anthems of the human condition such as Room 813 and In Cold Blood. They’ve recently released their first full-length CD. Check them out at www.rsgmusic.com.

You can find out more about the contest at http://bandcontest.youthink.ca, where you can also cast your vote for your favourite of the Top 10.

Also in the running are Alexandria Maillot, All the Way, the Archers, Far From Fiction, Hailey Morgan, Ivory Coast, Patrick Kelly, the Stirs and Stoned Optic.

The top three finalists will be announced on Feb. 8, and those three will compete live at Tom Lee Music Hall on April 30.

Neighbourhood house celebrates cultures HERE & NOW

Jennifer Moreau

T

he South Burnaby Neighbourhood House is holding another sharing cultures event next week.

Usually, the events feature one particular culture, but this time, it’s a mix of many. There will be multicultural cuisine, art and entertainment.

“The point is to bring people together to meet their neighbours and learn a little bit about what cultures exist in their own neighbourhood,” said Kimberly Barwich, program director at the neighbourhood house.

“It’s community building at its most basic building block – neighbours meeting neighbours.”

The event is on Friday, Jan. 28, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at the Gordon Presbyterian Church, 7457 Edmonds St. Admission is $5 for adults or $10 for families. To register in advance, call the neighbourhood house at 604-431-0400.

developmental disabilities are more included.

For the news service, BACI is looking for people with stories about this kind of inclusion or innovation, and a contracted news agency will publish the articles online and in an electronic and print newsletter.

If you have a story to share, contact the Axiom newsroom at 1-800-2940051 or e-mail michelle@ axiomnews.ca. For more on BACI, visit www. gobaci.com.

Last give-away

This is the last book I have to give away to you, my dear readers. This one is called Cellular, by Ellen Schwartz, and it’s from Orca Book Publishers, which specializes in “short, high-interest novels for teens.”

Cellular is a story about Brendan, a teen who has it all – the girlfriend, a loving family, good friends.

Things change suddenly when he is diagnosed with leukemia, and he meets Lark, whose condition is worse, yet she still manages to keep a positive outlook. Through her, he discovers his strength to

survive and to love.

Here’s an excerpt from the first chapter: “I’m sitting across the desk from Mr. Wong. My mom is beside me clutching her purse. Dr. Wong folds his hands. Clears his throat.

Glances at the folder in front of him, then at me.

‘I’m afraid I have bad news Brendan. It’s leukemia.’

It goes right by me, I don’t even hear it. I’m so prepared to hear anything else - a virus. Mono, meningitis, even avian flu – that it’s only when my mom gasps, that my mind backs up, rewinds the tape, and I actually hear what he just said.

Dear SwarmJam I wanted to instantly express my thanks for your advice. I thought I knew a lot about advertising, as I own Imageworks, a Graphic Design and Web Design Studio. I am often correct in my assessments... but you proved that I still have more to learn! I signed up Magic Clean, a pressure washing and window cleaning provider, for SwarmJam; I thought the ad should run in late March or April. You assured me it would work now in early January... even though it’s cold and quite miserable outside! I was hesitant about running it now but you assured me it would WORK and BOY, oh BOY you were right!

THE AD APPEARED TODAY!

• By 7 a.m. we had 3 people buy. Who gets up that early to buy?

• At 11 a.m. we had 12 new clients • At 6 p.m. we had 24 buyers • WHOOPS... another just signed up as I am typing! That’s 25 and growing • WHOOPS... 3 more signed up.That’s 28 now!

WE HAVE 4 days to to go!!!!

Piling up the pillows MOVERS & SHAKERS Janaya Fuller-Evans

W

hat looks like a giant pillow fight is actually a donation made Dec. 20 from Quilts Etc. to the Progressive Housing Society.

The Burnaby-based company asked for the Burnaby Board of Trade’s help to identify a suitable charitable organization in the city that would be receptive to an in-kind donation, as the retail outlet didn’t know which charitable organization would be appropriate. The board connected Quilts Etc., a new member, with the Progressive Housing Society, a long-time Burnaby-based member.

Quilts Etc. donated 345 pillows to the society, which helps people with mental illness find permanent housing and also facilitates a homelessness outreach program in Burnaby.

The clients who have been chosen to receive new

pillows are adults in the community who have been struggling with mental health and homelessness but have received recent Burnaby housing placements from PHS in an effort to live independently. Quilts Etc., has been in business for more than 18 years. This year alone, Quilts Etc. has donated $40,000 worth of products to the Lower Mainland Christmas Bureau, in addition to other local charities, according to the board of trade.

Riding the rails

A winner has been announced for the Metropolis Express fundraising challenge held over the fall and early winter.

Burnaby Hospital Foundation received the $10,000 grant, in addition to all the donations raised on the Metropolis Express during its challenge month, November.

As part of the fall fundraising campaign, more than $36,000 was raised through train rides. (The rides are $1 minimum, but people could donate more to help the featured charity of the month.)

The participating nonprofit groups were also

encouraged to get people to come out to help raise more money, and the group that got the most in a single “challenge day” won the extra $10,000.

(That’s on top of the donations coming in throughout the month.)

For September donations, the Progressive Housing Society garnered $6,271. Progressive Housing does outreach work with Burnaby’s homeless population. For money raised in October, Stream of Dreams will get $6,315. The group raises awareness about protecting waterways and maintaining healthy habitat for salmon. For November, the Burnaby Hospital Foundation will receive $6,700 plus the $10,000 grand prize grant for mustering up the most donations for their cause in a single day. The foundation raises money to buy hospital equipment. And for December, the Adoptive Families Association of B.C. will receive $7,520.

The association has been helping adoptive families for more than 30 years.

MOTORING New Touareg offers more of everything David Chao

NOW contributor

I

ntroduced in 2003, the original Touareg was supposed to be unique and different from the traditional SUVs. And it was … for a brief period of time. Volkswagen’s first crossover SUV was widely praised by the media and consumers but eventually fell to the wayside as the luxury SUV market exploded.

Following a 2008 refresh (after which it was briefly known as the Touareg 2), Volkswagen has taken the wraps off of a new, 2011 model. And this time around, the Touareg isn’t trying to be different from the masses in any particular way – it’s trying to be better than them in every possible way.

The 2011 model is a beautifully crafted car that feels almost Audi-ish in terms of the quality of design and construction. It is an extremely pleasant surprise, taking everything we liked about the Touareg and raising the bar about three or four notches. If you still aren’t convinced that Volkswagen should be building luxury vehicles, this might be the one that will change your mind.

Design

VW’s new design language is clean and athletic but may be a little too plain for some tastes. The new grille looks great, cutting across the face from headlamp to headlamp, and the sculpted side

panels give the SUV an athletic stance.

However, the rear is just a bit too generic, lacking any notable details beyond the triangular tailpipes.

The most striking thing about the Touareg is definitely its overall shape and profile, which looks so much leaner and purposeful than last year’s model.

The interior is very upscale and wellexecuted.

Performance

Powered by a 3.6L V6 with 280-hp and 265 lb.-ft. of torque or a 3.0L TDI V6 that produces 225-hp and 406 lb.-ft. of torque, the Touareg can compete with the best luxury mid-size SUVs when it comes to power. 4MOTION all-wheel drive is standard equipment, along with a new, eightspeed transmission.

The hybrid powertrain will use the 3.6L V6, enabling the Touareg to run on gasoline, electricity, or both at once.

Boasting much sportier performance than the first-generation Touareg, the 2011 model is clearly gunning for BMW’s X5. It’s highly responsive, and perhaps on par with the Porsche Cayenne in terms of overall handling (though it’s not as powerful). Perhaps the only downside with respect to performance is the stiff ride.

Environment

You expect a quiet cabin in a vehicle with luxury intentions, but you also

expect a diesel engine to be very loud. So, it’s seriously impressive just how well the Touareg TDI dampens the noise coming from under the hood.

VW designers clearly paid attention to customer concerns, finding more space for everything.

GPS navigation is standard equipment in every Touareg, and it comes with a great touchscreen instead of the controlwheel arrangements that we’re seeing in more and more vehicles.

Thumbs up

Great profile and performance; sharp new VW grille; spacious interior.

Thumbs down

Generic styling cues; annoyingly bulky key fob.

VW has taken a good thing and made it even better.

Giants facing biggest tests Tom Berridge sports editor

The Northwest Giants could be staring the B.C. major midget hockey league season in the face this week.

The second-place Giants face the league-leading Valley West Hawks in a pair of road games this weekend, with the final outcome potentially having a major bearing on how the two teams might finish the season.

The following week, the Giants will host the thirdplace Greater Vancouver Canadians at the Burnaby Winter Club.

“Yeah, these two weeks should place us where we finish this season. It’ll be a tough go,” said first-year Giants head coach Todd Harkins.

After failing to make the playoffs at the Mac’s AAA midget tournament over the Christmas break, the Giants split last week’s two-game series with the lowly Fraser Valley Bruins at the league’s mid-season showcase tournament in Chase.

The Giants lost their opening game to the Bruins 5-4 after coming back from a 4-1 deficit to knot the contest midway through the final frame.

Alex Kerfoot and Scott

Patterson, with the gametying goal, both scored in the third period to draw the Giants even.

But Fraser Valley’s Travis Oddy notched his second of the game with just five minutes left to play to give the Bruins just their ninth win this season.

On the following day, Sam Reinhart tallied a pair of goals to lead the Giants to a 3-0 win over the Bruins.

Sean Lan got what proved to be the unassisted gamewinner early in the opening frame. Scott Legault posted the shutout in goal for the Giants.

Meanwhile, Valley West picked up three of four points last weekend against the Northeast Chiefs to move three points up on the Giants in regular season standings.

However, the Giants have two games in hand over the first-place Hawks.

Earlier in the season, the Giants edged the Hawks with a pair of 4-3 decisions at home back in October.

But Harkins maintains a lot can change in the course of a single season.

“The league is very fickle, you play the same teams over and over,” Harkins said, but added player motivation is not needed with the season virtually Giants Page 30

Burnaby centre tops at CHL Top Prospects Tom Berridge sports editor

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins was the top prospect of them all at the Canadian Hockey League Top Prospects game in Toronto Wednesday.

The No. 3-ranked prospect by NHL Central Scouting was named Team Orr player of the game following a 7-1 victory over Team Cherry at the Air Canada Centre in the televised major junior hockey showcase.

Nugent-Hopkins assisted on two of Orr’s seven markers, feathering a pro-league crossing pass to teammate Sven Bartschi on a two-on-one early in the second period.

Bartschi, a forward with the Portland Winter Hawks, scored easily into an open net for the eventual game-winning goal.

Nugent-Hopkins, who cap-

tained the Orr squad, also helped out on the team’s second goal in a four-goal third period. The crafty centre set up Saint John Sea Dog forward Zack Phillips on a giveand-go that made the score 5-1 for Team Orr. “Playing with (NugentHopkins) was a privilege. His speed and vision on the ice definitely helped me a lot tonight,” said Phillips in a Postmedia News release.

Not only was the 17-year-old Burnaby superstar the best player on the ice, but he also went into the dirty areas to help out his teammates.

Late in the second period, Nugent-Hopkins went to the aid of Bartschi, who had been checked to the ice by Duncan Siemans.

Vancouver Giants defenceman David Musil then stepped in to defend Nugent-Hopkins.

Both Musil and Siemans

received rare all-star game fighting majors.

“Hopefully (the scouts) liked what they saw,” said NugentHopkins in a Toronto Sun report.

“I just tried to play my game.”

Nugent-Hopkins also told Postmedia News that being the final cut off Canada’s junior national team was further incentive.

“It kind of gave me more motivation to get better and improve everything I can do,” said NugentHopkins. “I tried to play my game.

I had a lot of fun out there. I played my game and hopefully the scouts like what they saw.”

Nugent-Hopkins was also a big factor in the skills competition a day earlier.

The second-year Red Deer Rebels centre posted the secondhighest score in the breakaway event, scoring twice, including one where he dragged the puck with his skate blade before flip-

ping it back through his legs and backhanding it into an open net.

The Burnaby centre led the Orr group to a win over Team Cherry, averaging 31.67 in the breakaway contest.

He also had a couple of goals in the three-on-three shinny game between Team Orr and Team Cherry. Team Orr won the overall skills competition 12-11 over Team Cherry.

By all accounts, NugentHopkins outheralded No. 2ranked Sean Couturier of the Quebec major junior league Drummonville Votigeurs at the two-day prospects competition.

Perhaps not surprisingly, Red Deer moved into the top 10 and into ninth spot among major junior hockey clubs in this week’s CHL national rankings.

The Douglas College Royals put together a nearclean sweep at the third badminton tournament this season.

The Royals chalked up their third straight overall tournament win, winning the team competition with a perfect 5-0 record before taking all but one of the individual events in the two-day weekend tourney at Vancouver Island University Sunday.

Douglas was fortunate in pulling off a 3-2 team win over the host school to remain unbeaten before meeting the only other undefeated Kwantlen team in the final set of matches.

Tied 2-2 heading into the pivotal final match against Kwantlen, RuiLin Huang of Burnaby, the Royals twotime player of the year, teamed with Amy Leung to give Douglas the overall team title Saturday.

The win gave Douglas an overall 1,009 total points in the first three tournaments and all but wraps up a sixth consecutive provincial title for the Royals.

Douglas would have to suffer a complete collapse at the final tournament in February in order for second-place Kwantlen to have any chance of stealing the B.C. title away, said Royals head coach Al Mawani.

“We’re proud of that.

But we have to stay focused though,” Mawani added.

“As a team we played really well. We woke up a bit after a close win against (Vancouver Island University).”

In the individual events, Douglas took first place in women’s singles and all three final doubles matches.

Huang extended her singles winning streak to 11 straight event titles, edging Royals teammate Stephanie Ko 21-19, 21-19 to extend her individual win streak to 35 consecutive matches.

Huang decimated Thompson Rivers University’s Anica Arduini 21-4, 21-3 in the other semi.

However, the Giants will likely be facing major midget player of the month Steven Myland in the nets when the the two teams take to the ice in South Surrey on Saturday.

Myland posted an outstanding 4-0 record last month, while posting a sparkling 0.75 goals against average.

Due to an illness to the Hawksothergoalie,Myland has played the majority of Valley West’s games and is largely responsible for the team’s 13-game winning streak.

never seemed to find its rhythm.

“They’re a tough team.

But we win as a team and we lost as a team,” said post Dylan Johnson, who scored 11 of his team-high 13 points in the second half, including seven from the foul line.

South got 27 points from starting point guard Manroop Clair, including 20 in the first half. Clair also gunned 11-of-12 free throws. As a team, South shot 19-for-21 at the charity stripe.

But South’s volunteer head coach Greg Matic wants more from his charges, who have seen their No. 1 provincial ranking fall to third in recent weeks.

“These opportunities only present themselves so few times in a team’s life span,” said Matic after the game, stressing he wanted more “communication, commitment and sacrifice” from his leaders.

Defenceman Matt Grassi blocked a season-high seven shots in Michigan State University’s 2-2 draw against Lake Superior State on Jan. 15. Grassi’s seven blocked shots was a singlegame high for any Spartan skater this season.

JUNIOR B HOCKEY

Steeler leads all-star blowout Tom Berridge

sports editor

Four Grandview Steelers enjoyed a 28-goal romp at the Pacific International Junior Hockey League allstar game in Abbotsford on Monday.

Kentaro Tanaka led the Burnaby-based Steeler contingent with two goals and a single helper, both markers coming in a 14-goal second period.

Grandview captain Curtis Rocchetti also scored for the Tom Shaw conference in the middle period in what turned out to be a 14-14 saw-off with the eastern conference all-stars.

Former Burnaby Express junior A forward Konrad Sander, now playing for the Delta Ice Hawks, scored

the shootout winner for the Shaw conference.

Christopher Busto and North Delta 19-year-old Marco Finucci both garnered a pair of assists.

Recently acquired forward Mike Phillipson, from the Aldergrove Kodiaks, scored a goal and had one assist for the Harold Brittain conference.

Ryan Panichelli, who plays defence for the Port Moody Black Panthers, also drew an assist in the all-star game.

In league play, Grandview stayed ahead of North Delta with a 10 overtime win over the Abbotsford Pilots at the Burnaby Winter Club Sunday.

Zach Hillhouse tallied the OT winner from Danny

Merth at 3:15 of the first extra-time session.

It was the 17-year-old defenceman’s first goal in just five games played this season for Grandview.

First star Norbert Biszczak kicked out all 30 Abbotsford shots for his third shutout this season.

Biszczak sports a fourth overall 2.76 goals-againstaverage and a 0.903 save percentage in a league-high 30 games played.

A day earlier, Grandview lost a 3-2 decision to North Delta in OT that momentarily dropped the Steelers into fourth place in the conference. Biszczak stopped 34 shots in the loss.

The Steelers take on Port Moody at Burnaby Winter Club on Sunday. Puck drops at 4 p.m.

CAREER COACH

New Source of Income

Over the last number of years a great new economy has developed allowing businesses to connect with professionals of all kinds who are available to do work, no matter where they’re located in the world. This new economy has been facilitated by websites like Elance, Guru oDesk , to name a few. These web ‘work’ communities Gregg Taylor and allow anyone to sign up for free as either an ‘employer’ or a ‘provider’, or both. You can then search for projects or proposals that you can bid on, or post projects for providers to submit proposals and bids.

What services can you provide on these sites?

• Administrative work including creating documents, data entry, writing letters • ‘Virtual Assistant’ work – making calls, taking calls, performing tasks, organizing, customer support • Writing for any area including reports, articles, websites, ghost writing, blogs • Computer programming of any kind or websites and ecommerce development • Business, HR, or Marketing consulting • Graphic arts for brochures, reports, logos • Research for reports, articles, marketing, sales or product development • Accounting, engineering, legal, and other professional work • And much, much more…

In reviewing these sites I have noticed that there are providers from all over the world. This does mean that on some project bids you will be competing with some admin services being offered for as little as $5 per hour. Although this may undercut rates we would bid from North America (based on our wage rates and cost of living), there are many service providers charging reasonable rates who are winning projects due to the relevance of their skills and experience, language proficiency, and the quality of their portfolio and sample work. So what do you have to offer? Check it out at: www.odesk.com/jobs, www.guru.com/pro, www.elance.com 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.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Secrets, depths, sexual urges, subconscious nudges, large finances, net worth, other people’s money and resources – these fill the weeks ahead. Research, look beneath surface appearances. Love vows or business agreements are one thing; commitment to share, delivering the funds, is another. Now it’s commitment time. You either get deeper, or break off. Tackle errands Sunday morning.

Home, kids and security, nature and nutrition capture your attention this eve to Tuesday. Romance has a bit of a rough ride mid-week. Still, joy exists! Tackle chores Friday/Saturday – you succeed!

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The emphasis lies on relationships, relocation, contracts, negotiations, opportunities and opposition. Emotions intensify; there’s little middle ground. Love and hate swirl.

Your romantic sensors are fine-tuned, and luck flows into all communications. In short, you might fall in love now or soon, or heal a valuable, longterm bond. This week isn’t the easiest, or the hardest. Communications, travel succeed Sunday p.m. to Tuesday. Recuperate, rest mid-week. Various frictions arise, perhaps with a partner. Be diplomatic.

Romance, creativity, luck soar Thursday night to Saturday!

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: A time of great change is upon you. It might affect where you live. It’s lucky, and occurs now to early June. During the same period, your romantic, creative and child-oriented projects/links will tread water – that gives you the time and focus to concentrate on this change. It is the first of two steps – the second one occurs November to July 2012. That second one won’t be so much lucky as “telling,” perhaps hectic, certainly filled with determination. Make your move soon.

Invest, commit, seek sexual intimacy, change your lifestyle. Thursday night to Saturday holds clues!

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Tackle chores Sunday – be safe with tools, electricity. This eve to Tuesday afternoon brings happy, flirty, friendly relationships.

Don’t be argumentative Monday. Though mid-week tempts you toward research, investments or sexual intimacy, or nudges you to make a commitment to a person or lifestyle, you’d be wise to wait. Your future will develop best if right now you are social, if you play, plan and dream. Rewards come from past efforts, not present ones. Gentle, mellow love and understanding, travel and legal success float in late Thursday night through Saturday.

Taurus April 20-May 20: Legal matters might slow now to June, particularly those involving work, health or machinery. So might far travel, religious projects and higher studies – in these, “revisit old haunts.” For instance, you’ll succeed in school if you resurrect an old project or study subjects you’ve studied before.

Sunday afternoon to Tuesday brings work and health concerns. The weeks ahead reward ambition, so plunge into tasks. Relationships can be irksome midweek. Be diplomatic; don’t push your own agenda.

Secrets, depths, sexual attractions and finances – all luckily – fill Friday/Saturday.

Gemini May 21-June 20: The weeks ahead beneficially emphasize higher learning, legal affairs, far travel, cultural involvements/rituals and gentle love. Sleep in Sunday morning. This eve to Tuesday brings romantic situations, pleasure and beauty, passion and risk. Your creative juices flow. Gambling, however, might hurt your bank account. Reject investments for now. (Until June, new investments are ill advised. Stick with those already in the works.) Work and health issues arrive late Tuesday through Thursday. Good and bad luck are mixed, so just plod ahead. Relationships excite, reward Friday/Saturday!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: The month ahead emphasizes romance, creativity and speculative luck. Until June, you stand on the edge of momentous events, prospects and opportunities. You might marry. For the best luck, relocate, negotiate, seek agreements and contracts, interface with the public, grab opportunities, form business partnerships or alliances, or seek marriage. (Some Librans, bound in unhappiness, might divorce now. But this influence might also “cure” your marriage. Can you give it one more try?) Rest Sunday daytime. This eve to Tuesday, your energy and charisma soar. Money caution mid-week.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Your workload will increase now to June. Just plod through if you have no enthusiasm. But realize this work can be the entry hall to one or two major career or business opportunities, to arrive after May, into mid-2012. For the next six years, your money fortunes are on an extended rise!

But it starts with work. Tamp down any domestic friction to late February: be gentle, kind. Pride wrecks love. Lie low, rest early week. Your energy surges back Tuesday night through Thursday. Thursday night to Saturday brings the first hint of your coming money luck. Get frequent rest these weeks.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Love, romance, creative projects, speculation, sports, risks, selfexpression, dealings with children – these meet great luck and opportunity now to June. The month ahead features talk, travel, curiosity – so get curious!

Travel and casual conversations can – no, will – lead to good things, romance among them! Uphold your reputation early Sunday. This eve to Tuesday brings social delights, flirtations and wish fulfilment! Retreat, rest and contemplate future obstacles mid-week. Your energy and charisma climb Thursday night to Saturday – start projects, ask favours, see and be seen.

Jan. 23 - Jan. 20 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: The weeks ahead emphasize money, earnings, buying/selling, possessions, sensual attractions and memory.

Accept surface appearances; they will tend to be true, and questioning will “sour the atmosphere.”

Lots of money might come! But be self-disciplined: spending can get out of control. Now to June, you are powerfully favoured to purchase (and sell) real estate, to heal family issues, to find security, and to end limiting situations, projects and conditions. (You might see and chuck these luckily Friday/Saturday.)

February is one of the best months to combine money and property.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness soar for the next few weeks. Start important projects, ask favours, seek permission, impress bosses, colleagues. Your determination and sex appeal (which are always linked) are unusually high now through February. Sunday morning has a mysterious cast,but this eve toTuesday brings wisdom, gentle love and understanding. Be ambitious midweek, but be diplomatic. You might push just because you have extra energy, but others could feel you’re abrasive. Wishes come true Friday/Saturday – expect social joys, entertainment, flirtation, happiness!

Pisces Feb.19-March 20: Retreat for a while.Gather your energies and your thoughts. Rest, contemplate, let the world go by. Be charitable, spiritual. The few weeks ahead favour dealing with government, taxes, institutions and large corporations. Study a money plan, rework it until it’s perfect. Soon – by March at the latest – money will start flowing your way, perhaps a huge pile of money. Students could win scholarships, consultants might land a big client, etc.

But now is preparation time. Avoid belligerent people, unsavoury places. Sunday to Tuesday is mysterious.

Be ambitious Friday/Saturday. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
