Behind Surrey Six, a tearful story Murder victim’s mother offers to loan her tale out to library patrons Jennifer McFee jmcfee@thenownews.com Cherish your family today because you don’t know what tomorrow will bring. Eileen Mohan learned this lesson three years ago. She had no choice. Her 22-year-old son was gunned down as an innocent victim in the Surrey Six slayings. After years of tears, Mohan is ready to speak about her experience

and urge other families to make the most of their time together. Next Saturday, she will participate in the Living Library event jointly hosted by the Coquitlam Public Library and Douglas College. Mohan will act as a “living book” available for one-on-one conversations with patrons. “It’s very difficult when all of a sudden life changes on you,” she told The NOW. “It’s as if you are walking one direction one day and the next everything crumbles down into pieces.”

Life took a tragic twist on Oct. 19, 2007. That day Mohan asked her son, Christopher, to stay home since the gas fireplace was scheduled for servicing. He called her at 1:45 p.m. to chat. Two hours later, he was shot dead. In one apartment building, gang members shot four men who were linked to the drug trade. They also killed two innocent men: Mohan’s 22-year-old son and 55-year-old gasfitter Ed Schellenberg. ❫ CONTINUED ON PAGE 9, see ‘I’M LONGING.’

10-kilometre version will head east along Como Lake to Linton Street before looping back westbound along Austin Avenue. Louie and her team of volunteers are hoping for about 500 race-day registrants, though they are bracing themselves for upwards of 1,500 participants. Given this year’s run will be the first in Coquitlam, Louie stopped short of listing a fundraising goal. “The money will come eventually, but this is our inaugural year. This is about building a foundation,” she said. “People believe in what Terry did, has done and is still doing, even though he’s been gone for 30 years next year. It will get done and it will be the best it can be for this year.” Registration for the Coquitlam run begins at 8:30 a.m on Sept. 19, and the opening ceremonies — to be emceed by Coun. Selina Robinson — start at 9:30 a.m. The run itself kicks off at 10 a.m. The Anmore run is being organized to coincide with the village’s annual Ma Murray celebrations, and Coun. Kerri Palmer Isaak is tasked with the run organizer duties for the village. To that end, she said registration kicks off at 11 a.m. and the run — split into one- and five-kilometres distances — will start at noon. “I’m always looking for new ways to get our community involved and get our community together,” Palmer Isaak said. “Ma Murray Day is definitely our biggest community event, so to put the two together only adds to the community spirit.” Palmer Isaak said the one-kilometre run will feature a quick loop from the Village Hall to Buntzen Lake, while the five-kilometre jaunt will see participants travel to the floating bridge at Buntzen Lake and back. “We’re crossing our fingers that the weather will co-operate with us,” she said Thursday. “Because it’s our first year, we’re really not sure what we’re going to be looking at in terms of participants, but we’re optimistic and

Port Moody run organizer Keith Vernon and Coquitlam organizer Donna Louie are marking the 30-year anniversary since Terry Fox inspired the nation with his Marathon of Hope. we’re really hopeful that we’ll have a good number of people turn out.” Port Moody run organizer Keith Vernon will head up his fifth consecutive Terry Fox Run, and hopes to build upon the $7,000 in funds raised in the City of Arts at last year’s run. He’s expecting anywhere from to 300 to 400 people to come out for the day’s events, which will also feature live music from Tony Prophet, barbecues, and an appearance by the Port Moody Secondary School cheerleading squad. Run day registration kicks off at 9 a.m. for both the five- and 10-kilometre runs, both of which start at Port Moody City Hall before winding through Rocky Point Park and

Alderside — the same route Fox used to train on more than 30 years ago. “The people that lived on the far side of Alderside would look out the window and see him running down the road before the major run started,” Vernon recalled. “I think it’s an inspiration for everybody when you look at what Terry Fox did, and he didn’t ask for a thing.” Kicking off at the Hyde Creek Recreation Centre at 8 a.m., the Hometown Run in Port Coquitlam will feature 2.5-, six- and 10-kilometre treks. The 2.5-km version will consist of a loop around École des Pionniers School (Dorset Avenue, Wellington Street and Coast Meridian Road), while

the six-kilometre route will encompass areas around Coast Meridian Road, Laurier and Prairie avenues and Fremont Street. The 10-kilometre run will be bound to the north by Lincoln Avenue, to the west by Shaughnessy, to the south by Riverwood Gate and the east by Fremont Street. “A lot of people think this is just a run, but it’s not. You can run, walk, ride your bike, ride your skateboard, rollerblade, anything,” said PoCo run organizer Dave Teixeira. “The whole idea is to get out there, participate and hopefully raise some money for cancer research.” For information on the Terry Fox Run, see www.terryfox.org/Run.

municipalities. “It will have to be resolved by both Anmore and Port Moody,” she said. “They’ll have to be in agreement between them.” At the same time, Hyndes said the school board hopes to build the new Moody Middle school on the existing St. Johns Street site so students can remain in school with minimal disruption. Project plans will be announced in early October. “We’re hoping the projects are actually tandem projects, so they’ll both be starting and hopefully opening on the same dates,” she said. “That’s what we’re hoping for.” Anmore councillor Kerri Palmer Isaak said she supports the idea of building both new middle schools simultaneously. “As a parent of a child at Moody Middle, I’m really positive about that because I think it’s considerably less disruptive. The transition will be much smoother,” said Palmer Isaak, who was part of a parent group that rallied for a new Heritage Mountain school. The village council wanted to see the

Heritage Mountain school built on either of the proposed sites, she added. “The village met with the school district and tried to reassure them that we were willing to do whatever it took to make that project go forward. We’re so committed to providing a space that’s closer for us to go to school. It’s such an incredible distance they’re travelling right now. They obviously heard our enthusiasm and our passion for bringing that school closer to us, and agreed to pop it back into Anmore,” she said. “We went into the meeting very positive and we weren’t at that time discouraged that the site was going to be in Port Moody. We just wanted to see the project moving forward. And whatever they needed help from us in facilitating, we were more than willing to do. “We’re very, very, very excited.” The school district will host an open house for the Heritage Mountain community on Sept. 21 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Heritage Woods Secondary, located at 1300 David Ave. in Port Moody. Architectural drawings will be presented, and consultants will be available to provide information and gather input.

ICBC drops rates 2.4 per cent ICBC will reduce its basic insurance rates by 2.4 per cent beginning Nov. 1. The move follows a decision from the British Columbia Utilities Commission, which is responsible for regulating basic insurance rates in the province. Rate changes are driven mainly by projected claims costs. Fewer crashes in B.C. have led to a drop in the number of claims; however, the average cost of injury claims, which are covered by basic insurance, continues to rise. The commission found that

ICBC’s operating expenses were 2.8-per-cent lower on average than forecasted over the past few years. This resulted in ICBC adding a 0.5per-cent rate reduction, on top of the 1.9 per cent in the application. “It’s the first time in more than a decade that we have been able to reduce our basic rates,” said Jon Schubert, ICBC’s president and CEO. ICBC has more than 5,000 employees assigned to the 3.1 million customers, and the corporation oversees licensing and insuring of drivers

and vehicles across the province and a network of 900 independent brokers.

District 43 plans open houses on possible Centennial sites Jennifer McFee jmcfee@thenownews.com The fate of Centennial Secondary school will soon be decided. At two upcoming neighbourhood consultation meetings, the public will have a final chance to weigh in on two site options for a replacement high school in Coquitlam. The first option is to rebuild the school at its current site at 570 Poirier St., where it has stood for more than 40 years. The second selection is to change the school’s location to 1100 Winslow Ave. School District 43 originally planned to make a decision about the $49-million project in May, but the process was put on hold due to public concern. Trustees will now vote on the issue at the Oct. 5 school board meeting. Assistant superintendent Dan Derpak said the school district doesn’t want to delay the decision any longer. “We need to choose the site so that the design can begin. There’s 18 months of design before anything else, and then construction,” Derpak said. “We’re hoping to open the school in September 2014.” On behalf of district staff, Derpak originally recommended the Winslow option at a meeting in May. However, a full house of residents spoke out against that location due to potential neighbourhood impacts. This time, Derpak said district staff will remain neutral, providing no recommendations for a specific site. “Both options have pluses and minuses,” he said. “We’re going to listen to what the public have to say around each of the sites, pass that

on to the trustees and let them make a decision.” At the Poirier site, the main issue is a highpressure oil line that bisects the property, which would limit construction to either side of the pipe. Meanwhile, the Winslow location sparked concerns about increased neighbourhood traffic and impacts on nearby Blue Mountain Park. Previous public consultation also touched on the possibility of incorporating a neighbourhood learning centre in the 1,250-student school. This provincially funded initiative would allot an extra 15 per cent of school space for community services. As well, past plans considered the possibility of rebuilding Como Lake Middle School on the Poirier property, incorporating the gym and multipurpose space in the design. This discussion, however, will no longer be part of the decision-making process since the province has not yet approved reconstruction of the middle school. “The middle school is in our capital plan, but it’s not been approved or supported at this point. So we’ve pulled that out of the equation,” Derpak said. The district is hosting two upcoming meetings for the public to provide feedback on the issue. Both meetings will offer the same information, Derpak noted. “If they have an opinion, we would welcome them to come in and share it with us,” he said. The first meeting will be Wednesday, Sept. 15 at 7 p.m. in the courtyard at Centennial Secondary School at 570 Poirier St. The second meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 22 at 7 p.m. in the Winslow Centre gymnasium at 1100 Winslow Ave.

Our View

We all must defend workers’ rights Everyone working in B.C. has the right to a safe workplace. Not everyone has one, however, as the families of five workers on a Langley mushroom plant found out two years ago. Three men were killed, two left severely disabled, in a toxic event in a small room. Charges were laid Monday against four supervisors or company directors, but the charges can only indirectly protect other workers. Too many workers in B.C. don’t know their own rights. They may not have much education. They may not speak English as their first language, or at all. They may simply be too young to worry about risking life or limb. Those vulnerable workers are more likely to be taking exactly the jobs where poor safety precautions can be fatal. In advance of Labour Day, Murray Coell, the minister who oversees workplace safety, noted that things have changed greatly since workers first flooded into the province during the Gold Rush of 1858. The holiday is marked each year with lip service, but ought to be a reminder for action. The B.C. government should make it a priority to crack down on unsafe employers from Tsawwassen to the Peace River. Fines should be hefty, and they should be levied before people are hurt or killed. There needs to be more outreach — in more languages, in more venues and more often. Perhaps some of the budget dedicated to telling us how great things are going could be put aside for this purpose. But workers can’t trust the government to do everything for them. They need to stand up and fight for their own rights. B.C.’s unions could be a big part of this, looking outside their traditional bailiwicks to help workers in casual, part-time jobs or in smaller workplaces. We also hope that good employers, the ones who try to keep their workers safe, will speak out on this issue, and help to shame their lessethical colleagues into acting better. If all employers were as ethical as most, there’d be little need for charges at all.

Perspective

Tamil refugees met with double-standards T he following scenario is purely imaginary. After a months-long sea crossing in a leaky converted freighter, more than 400 people from a nation wracked by terrorism and civil war land on Canada’s shores. They immediately claim refugee status. They come from a country that has seen a long and violent conflict. They are essentially on the losing side. They worry about further violence if Matthew they return home. While many of those on board are women and children, some may be members of a foreign terrorist organization. What does our government do? That depends. My imaginary boat comes from Northern Ireland, circa 1985. But it may have called to mind a boat that just arrived on our shores from Sri Lanka. I’m having a hard time imagining a boat of Englishspeaking white Irish-Catholics getting the same vicious reception that the Tamils have received since they arrived. The level of racism in the debate over the Tamils is hard to measure. It’s veiled behind rhetoric about refugees “jumping the queue” and talk about them becoming freeloaders on Canada’s welfare system. The terrorism charge is the one the government has jumped on with both feet. Apparently, to have

ever been a member of or soldier for the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam is also to be a terrorist. Of course, the Tamil Tigers committed a great many terrorist crimes, including pioneering the use of suicide bombing. (That’s where the Palestinian Intifada got the idea.) They also committed political assassinations, both in Sri Lanka and in India. The Tigers also forcibly conscripted children, attacked Claxton religious targets and engaged in piracy and arms smuggling. But they ran a good portion of northeastern Sri Lanka as a de facto independent country for decades. So the Tamil Tigers organization contains vicious monsters, and it also contains people who worked for the monsters and looked the other way so they and their families could survive. That the Sri Lankan government might not make fine distinctions between the two types of Tigers is a legitimate concern. So there may be terrorists on board the boat, and they should be found and deported to face justice for their crimes. But like determining who in Northern Ireland is an IRA bomber, who an IRA supporter and who an accomplice out of fear, it will not be easy. The odd notion that the Tamil migrants are trying

My View

to jump the queue should also be discarded. As Stephen Hume pointed out in a recent Vancouver Sun column, there are two routes to becoming a refugee in Canada: You can get there from a refugee camp, or you can show up and say you would suffer persecution if returned home. The Sri Lankan government has been dismantling refugee camps since the war ended; it’s an open question whether persecution has ceased and one that will likely determine the refugees’ fate. Finally, the notion of freeloading is also interesting. A lot of fury has surrounded the idea that these are only “economic migrants,” that they just want a better life, with things like clean water, good jobs and nice homes. Well, how dare they! Those things are clearly for those of us who were already here and inherited them without doing a lick of work settling this country. But of course, perhaps I’m biased. Aside from the recent arrivals from America, none of my family members ever applied for permission to come to Canada. I don’t think they ever asked the Sto:lo, Algonquin, Six Nations or Cree people for immigration forms. Matthew Claxton is a reporter at The NOW’s sister paper, the Langley Advance.

Letters Opinions divided on issue of Tamil migrants Re: “Churches to help Tamil migrants,” Friday, Aug. 27. I want to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to both St. Catherine’s Anglican and Trinity United churches for their initiatives to help a Tamil family settle in the city by paying one month’s rent and linking them to local social services. Tamils are fleeing in large numbers from Sri Lanka to escape the violations of international human rights, including widespread abductions, disappearances, harassment To The and killings of Tamils still taking place with impunity. Even after the war ended almost two years ago, tens of thousands of poorly fed Tamils are still living in inadequate, government-run internment camps. During the last year, 40,000 Tamils were killed and 50,000 more maimed during state-sponsored violence. But the Sri Lankan president adamantly opposed the UN war crimes advisory panel, which wanted to find the truth about crimes and serve some justice to the victims. The Sri Lankan President claimed in his victory speech in Colombo in June that his troops carried a gun in one hand and a copy of the human rights charter in the other, and that their guns did not fire at a single civilian. If so, why is he is preventing the UN from doing its job? Only he knows. These desperate Tamils are most definitely thankful to both St. Catherine’s Anglican and Trinity United churches for showing them compassion, kindness and understanding, which are part of our country’s legacy. Esan Satkunarajah Toronto

••• Re: “Tamil kids don’t deserve jail,” letter to the editor, Wednesday, Aug. 25. I share Leslie Hammond’s concern over the incarceration of the Tamil women and children: is this indeed Canada where we would treat these illegals in such a fashion. Jail? Correctional facility? Concentration camp? How easily one can use these words and descriptions without concern about what is really happening here. The government is supposed to be acting on my behalf as well, and to that end, these people are here illegally. There is a process in place, and Editor what a process it is: the lawyers will fill their pockets again and again, and we the taxpayers will be left paying. There is a legal process and way (albeit I admit, one must wonder what rules and guidelines this process entails) of immigrating to Canada. If you don’t follow that process, you should not have the right to be here. It is time we as a country strengthen and secure our borders. Legal means legal, and not “Hey, it’s just a good idea” and open the border floodgates. R. Yule Port Coquitlam ••• I am Canadian. My parents and grandparents are Canadian. We have all worked very hard to make a living and for Canada. We have been very tolerant and compassionate in having our government assist the world with our tax burden. We have fought wars to maintain our freedoms and those of others. This is our country. This is our land. This is my land. Tamils, you were not invited, but chose to abuse our standards and goodwill.

You supposedly paid substantial cash to the people smugglers. You could have applied like all other immigrants and waited your turn. You chose the illegal route. We cannot accept the huge cost for our hospitality when we need to support our own residents who are in need. Tamils, go home. Elwin Mowry Coquitlam ••• I just voted on your online poll. I am part of the 75 per cent of people who voted to send these people all back and have them use legitimate channels to enter Canada. The Sri Lankan government is formally recognized by Canada as the legitimate government. If there are ethnic conflicts within the borders of such a country, then the people in those countries need to solve these problems themselves. Anybody who is not happy with their legitimate government at home should stay and fight from within. During the Second World war, when Germany invaded most of Europe, many people escaped, but that was an occupying, unlawful force doing the invading. Many people, including my parents, joined the Underground at great risk to their own lives to obstruct the invaders. Most of the refugees we so warmly embrace are not from countries occupied by invading forces. It is nauseating to hear that hospital wings are set aside and that housing will be made available for the Tamils, while legitimate Canadian citizens or legitimate landed immigrants are placed on lengthy waiting lists for both. What the hell is wrong with us? We are weak and gullible. This needs to stop. Dick Veerman Coquitlam

home. And here am I, I’m longing to have my son at home with me. That’s the hard part. “Sometimes I think back and think where did it all go? And you try to hold on to the best parts of it. I remember him very fondly.” Mohan also wants to speak about her loss to keep the memory of her son alive. “I have nothing to lose. I’ve lost every single thing I’ve had. After Christopher, it just became meaningless.” The Living Library event is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 11 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Nancy Bennett program room of the Poirier Library. Five other “living books” will also be available to speak to patrons.

“What a waste of energy and dreams and aspirations — all gone just because of somebody’s market share in the drug trade,” Mohan said. “We were just a normal family, hardworking, trying to make ends meet, ensuring kids grow up the way you want them to, putting food on the table, thinking about their futures, thinking about your own future. “And in come these thugs and they don’t think twice who Chris is, what his dreams were, what his rights were and how is his family going to cope.” In a heartbeat, Mohan’s life changed forever. “I believed in living for tomorrow because tomorrow was such a promising time for us. We had so many plans as a family to do together. We were going places,” she said. “Since Christopher was taken, I live in the moment. … You realize how short life is.” And other parents should realize that too, Mohan said. “They need to realize how fortunate they are to have their kids at home and to value who they are and to listen to their kids and to develop a relationship with their children,” she said. “Sometimes I wake up in the morning, and in my consciousness it seems like it’s just a normal day. My mind will say, ‘Oh, I’ve got to make a sandwich for Chris.’ And then I wake up and I go two steps back and then I realize who I am then. And then you have to just crawl into bed and never come out again.

“You just cry a ton of tears and you just try to make your day work and look at all the good things that people have done for you.” At the Living Library event, Mohan will speak about how she has dealt with her grief, as well as answer questions on any other topics except the ongoing court case. “There are so many guys like Christopher who are the love of their parents, who are the apples of their mothers’ eyes. And there are parents who have kids and haven’t even developed a relationship with their children. You have to develop this relationship with your kids because it’s so important. I was very fortunate to have that,” she said. “They have their kids at

Spending summer in school of life Coquitlam student volunteers in Kenyan village to foster change Louise Hung Special to The NOW Whenever I just close my eyes, I am back there in an instant. I could perhaps open my eyes again to see the yellow, cracked earth passing under my feet as I walked past the acacia trees lining the path. Perhaps I would walk over the broken part in the chicken wire fence and in between the cactus trees to emerge on the rutted and uneven road of the village. I would suddenly be greeted with dozens of excited and grinning faces and cries of “Jambo, jambo!” As I would laugh and yell, I would walk toward all my young friends at Free the Children’s school, Salabwek Primary, in Narok South District, Rift Valley province in Kenya. Just six short months ago, I decided to go on a volunteer trip to Kenya with Me to We. Craig and Marc Kielburger of Free the Children founded Me to We, a social enterprise, to support the charity Free The Children to help nor-

mal people make everyday decisions that create a more fair, humane and sustainable world. Last summer, I went to a Me to We Take Action Academy and then We Day in September. I was involved at school with global issues and Me to We club, but it was a little hard to feel passionate about so many different issues that just kept on popping up all over the place. So when I learned about the volunteer trips to Kenya, my mind was set. I was going to go, though I did not know what was in store for me. I was going to go and experience all I could. I was going to understand. How we can help if we do not understand? When we played and talked with the kids at the primary school, they were eager, curious and energetic. As I talked with small circles of girls this July, we braided grass and they braided my hair. Their eyes would always light up and glint as they spoke of their futures of perhaps going to high school and university and becoming lawyers, doctors, teachers and pilots.

These kids loved school. Yet, while they spoke with such conviction, I was a little sad, too, wondering how many of these kids would even make it to high school, with high schools private in Kenya. All the “mamas” in the village were so involved with the whole Adopt a Village Model from Free the Children. They had a mamas group that would get together to discuss matters in the village and also support each other through their daily lives. These people were all working so hard to give themselves and all their future generations better lives. I saw this when we were building the classroom. When we were mixing the cement, we exhausted the pond and rain water catchment system, so we ran out of water. Without asking, all the kids and the mamas carried water from different sources all over the place to come help us. As the kids dumped jug after jug into these large barrels we used to hold water, we began to work at a faster pace. We were suddenly heartened

and touched by the knowledge that the whole community wanted to improve their lives, and they wanted to be a part of the change that was occurring. This is what I learned: positive change can only happen in a community through education and through the dedicated involvement of the people in the community. The community of Salabwek had a school, a new bore-hole water system and a monthly clinic that came with medication and nurses. This was not only Free the Children coming in to change the village. Nothing would have gotten far if the mamas, babas and children had not embraced the Adopt a Village Model so readily and taken up the cry for change in such a hands-on way. They showed me that money wasn’t the only part of helping, and that these were hard-working people who wanted to make their future brighter. In the end, it was I who was changed. • Louise Hung is a Grade 11 student at Gleneagle Secondary School in Coquitlam.

Policing across borders offers different perspective

thick winter coats. I radioed for a cover car to assist me in the questioning of these individuals. The individual on the bike became increasingly agitated, did not answer any of my questions and when he did, he contradicted himself. I finally advised him he was under arrest for obstruction. When I attempted to place him under arrest, he resisted and a brief struggle ensued — his friend who was standing yards away did nothing to intervene, and in my mind I was wondering where my cover unit was. During the struggle, the subject kept turning his right side of the body away from me. Eventually I was able to control the individual and place handcuffs on him. When a search was conducted, I found a loaded nine-millimetre pistol in his right jacket pocket. His friend later advised us if his friend had taken more drugs that night he would have shot me.

Some of these officers were on the job for less than two years; others were senior officers with 20-plus years of service.

BMW 7-Series stretches out to be the top of luxury class 750i’s proportions are more pleasing to the eye. The interior design reinforces the spaciousness of the cabin, holding true to BMW’s traditionally minimalist feel while incorporating lots of elegant touches and design cues. The overall feel is modern and high-tech without being overly complex. Build quality is exceptional, as you’d expect at this price point. The 7-Series is solid and extremely well built, with beautiful, high-quality materials and solid doors that close easily and convey a sense of safety and security.

David Chao editorial@thenownews.com As luxury cars go, it might be impossible to do better than the 2011 BMW 7-Series sedan, which offers one of the most complete and satisfying experiences of any vehicle on the road. The only question is, where are you sitting? If you’re behind the wheel most of the time, then the base 750i is all you’ll need and want, boasting a ton of features and excellent performance at a “reasonable” price (for this class of car) of $108,600. However, if you’re more likely to be found relaxing in the rear seats while someone else drives, that just won’t do — you’re going to want to spend an extra $8,000 for the longwheelbase 750Li, which increases the wheelbase and rear passenger space by 14 centimetres. At that point, the 7-Series isn’t just a luxury car — it’s a limousine. Audi and Lexus also have long-wheelbase versions of their flagship sedans, the A8 and LS, respectively. However, while the redesigned A8 is an impressive vehicle, Audi’s brand doesn’t offer the prestige and status of BMW. As for the Lexus, it’s designed more for people who want to blend into the crowd — a stark contrast to the attention-grabbing 7Series. The closest competitor is the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, which has as much star power as the BMW, but isn’t as well-balanced or as good a value. Can you do better than the 750Li? Possibly, if you’re willing to spend a lot more. For an extra $15,700, the ActiveHybrid 7 brings fuel-saving hybrid technology to the 7-Series, whereas the $186,000 760Li swaps in a six-litre V-12 engine for staggering performance. But the question remains: where are you sitting? While the environmentally conscious will appreciate the hybrid’s 10.2 L/100km fuel efficiency (combined city and highway), the V-12 seems a bit unnecessary for a chauffeured vehicle. It makes more sense to stick with the 750Li and also pick up a Z4 roadster, or — if you’re so inclined — donate the extra $70,000 to a worthy cause.

Performance

The BMW 7-Series sedan is tough to compete against in the luxury market. I drove the latest 750Li across Los Angeles and San Diego, and came away completely impressed. It’s one of the greatest luxury sedans on the market — bar none.

Design The 750Li maintains the curves of its muchmaligned predecessor, but steps back from the odd and unsettling proportions to take on a shape and profile more in line with past 7Series designs. You can still see elements of the criticized Chris Bangle styling, but they no longer compromise the overall beauty of the car. Instead, they give it a slightly eccentric feel that helps

it to stand out on a crowded street. With all of the extra wheelbase length going into the rear seats, the 750Li has extremely long rear doors that open very wide. It’s an imposing vehicle with a strong stance and attractive lines, though the standard-length

The 750Li is powered by a turbocharged, 4.4-litre V-8 producing 400 hp and 450 lb-ft of torque, and comes with BMW’s fantastic xDrive all-wheel-drive system. A six-speed automatic is the only transmission available. Opting for the turbocharged six-litre V-12 gets you 535 hp and 550 lb-ft of torque, as well as an eight-speed shifter, but only with rear-wheel drive. The 4.4-litre V-8 is an amazing engine, delivering power smoothly and quietly — exactly what you’d want from the 750Li. The big sedan never feels like it’s in a rush or straining to accelerate, conveying a sense of competence and control to all occupants. Handling is on the softer side, even when the car is in Sport mode, but the 750Li is still supremely confident and steady. For balanced comfort and performance it can’t be beat, proving surprisingly manoeuvrable for such a large vehicle and offering great road feedback to the driver.

freeways posed no issues, allowing me to pass other cars with ease. Passengers will have little reason to complain when the 750Li is in Sport mode, but in Comfort mode it’s even better, delivering unbelievable ride quality and completely soaking up bumps and potholes.

Environment As noted previously, the 750Li adds 14cm to the wheelbase, all of which benefits rear passengers. The only downside is the large drivetrain tunnel that prevents a flat floor, compromising legroom for the middle passenger. BMW’s iDrive all-in-one controller gets better with every redesign and now includes dedicated buttons for oft-used functions, but the benefits are still debatable. GPS worked great, and even re-routed me when the traffic was busy using real-time traffic info. There are too many cool features to mention, but some of the most notable include adaptive LED brakelights that glow brighter when more braking force is applied, and options such as airplane-like reading lamps for the rear seats, the night vision system, massaging front and rear seats and heads-up display with integrated navigation prompts. Self-adjusting cruise-control systems are becoming commonplace, using lasers to manage the distance from the vehicle directly ahead, but the 750Li’s optional active cruise control takes things a step further.

Westwood Honda, a family owned business in Port Moody since 1978, is proud to announce the appointment of Mel Madrazo to the position of Sales Manager.

The system is able to start and stop the car without driver input, greatly easing the frustration of stop-and-go traffic.

Features The long-wheelbase 750Li starts at $116,600, rising to 132,300 for the ActiveHybrid 7 and $186,000 for the 760Li. Notable standard features include automatic climate control, heated front and rear seats, heated steering wheel, navigation system, adaptive headlamps, backup sensors, and adaptive headlamps. Your 750Li can be personalized with a wide variety of options (found mostly in packages) such as active blind spot detection, active cruise control, massaging front and rear seats, auto open/close trunk, heads-up display, night vision system, rearview camera, rear entertainment system and an M-Sport package with aerodynamics and dynamic drive. The 750Li’s Fuel efficiency is rated at 15.4 L/100km in the city and 10 L/100km on the highway.

Thumbs up Superb balance of performance and comfort; extensive list of standard and optional features.

As Sales Manager, Mel will be responsible for the day to day operation of both New and Used Vehicle Sales Departments.

Some of them (or to survive composting.

Both are far too dangerous to be touched without medical supervision. One warning signal telling gardeners to be cautious is when contact with a plant produces dermatitis. I banished aconitum from my garden after a stalk brushed over my face and produced a sore red welt that lasted for several hours. Handling the seeds of toxic plants can also be dicey, especially since it’s almost impossible to wear gardening gloves for this task. Prolonged contact with hellebore seed has produced very sore fingers for me. There can also be skin problems from plants that almost nothing eats. This can happen with bluebells, scilla, daffodils, narcissus, euphorbia and daphnes. But it’s not always a reliable guide. Slugs, for instance will eat things that nothing else will touch, including rhubarb leaves and the soft capsules of daphne seeds. In winter, hungry deer browse on ivy and holly.

Road Safety GET THE MESSAGE!

Driving while using a handheld cell phone isn’t just illegal. It’s dangerous. Twenty-ﬁve per cent of vehicle crashes each year can be attributed to drivers being distracted. The number one cause of distraction? Wireless electronic devices, such as cell phones. Driving demands your full attention. When you’re behind the wheel, anything that competes with your attention impairs your driving ability and increases your chance of being in a crash. Remember – a distracted driver is a dangerous driver. Find out more at drivecellsafe.ca (http://www.drivecellsafe.ca).

SAFETY TIPS Whether you’re doing the daily commute, seeing the sights while on vacation, or just running to the neighbourhood grocery store to shop, there are things you can do to help make our roads safer. Here are some of ICBC’s smart driving tips: 1. Plan ahead: Beginning September 20th, police in B.C. will be armed with Canada’s toughest laws and penalties to get impaired drivers off B.C.’s roads faster and for longer. If your activities will include alcohol, take all the necessary steps to make sure you get home safe. Be safe – don’t drink and drive. Make plans to have a designated driver, take a taxi, public transit or call a friend or family member for a ride home. Remember – a true designated driver is a person who decides not to drink. Period. 2. Focus: Studies show that drivers who talk on a cellphone lose about 50 per cent of what’s going on around them, visually, and are four times more likely to get into a crash. If your cellphone rings while driving, let voice mail do its job and call back later. If you need to take the call, use a hands-free device and keep the conversation brief. Find more tips at drivecellsafe.ca.

3. Be realistic: …about your travel times and check road conditions before you leave. Check drivebc.com (http://drivebc.com) for possible highway closures before heading out and allow extra time for delays that may occur, especially over the long weekend when more vehicles will be on the road. If you’re going to be later than you expected – deal with it. Take a deep breath and accept the delay. Relax… it’s a long weekend after all. Take the Drive Smart Challenge

head-on crash, a 150-pound adult not wearing a seatbelt will collide with other occupants, strike the inside of the vehicle or get thrown from the car with the same force as the weight of a ¾ton truck. 6. Set an example: …to your children and other drivers by being courteous and safe on the road. Your smart driving decisions can have a signiﬁcant inﬂuence on others. Learn the unwritten rules of the road. Check out some of

Take the Drive Smart Challenge . . . Log on to: http://apps.icbc.com/road-safety/drivesmart/index.html#/intro (http://apps.icbc.com/road-safety/drivesmart/ index.html#/intro) and learn first-hand how rushing can affect your ability behind the wheel. 4. Slow down and keep your distance: Slow down, especially if we get some unexpected rain, or if you’re driving on uneven roads. Always stay within the posted speed limits in construction and playground zones. Weaving in and out of traffic is one of the top five high-risk behaviours that cause car crashes. Give other drivers the benefit of the doubt and keep your distance. Even with a lot of sunshine and favourable road conditions, you need to allow at least two seconds of following distance, and at least three seconds on high-speed roads. The latter also applies if you’re behind a motorcycle since it has a much shorter stopping distance. Always be extra careful in intersections. Obey all traffic signs and signals and yield the right of way to other road users, such as pedestrians. 5. Buckle up: If you don’t wear your seatbelt, you are 25 times more likely to be killed in a crash if ejected from the vehicle. In a 50 km/h

ICBC’s Drive Smart Unwritten Rules of the Road (http://www.icbc.com/drivesmart), like when is it appropriate to wave “thanks”. Cyclists can also do their part by observing the rules of the road and making safety their top priority. The majority of children’s cycling crashes are caused by the child riding out onto a roadway without looking. Always make sure you and your child wear a bicycle helmet – it’s the law in B.C. MAKE SURE EVERYONE IN THE CAR IS PROPERLY SECURED Seatbelts are the law in B.C. for everyone over 9 years old or 145 cm (4’9”) tall. Children under 12 should be seated in the rear seat of the vehicle, and drivers are responsible for ensuring everyone under 16 is properly secured, whether in an approved infant, child or booster seat, or with a seatbelt. As you prepare for back to school, remember that the law requires child passengers to be properly secured in a child seat that is appropriate for their age and size.

20 Anniversary How do you join a union? It takes four easy steps T th

CELEBRATING OUR

here a many reasons people choose to join unions: better pay, benefits, job security, reasonable working hours and having a safe and healthy work environment being among the main ones. Whether you work in the private sector or in public service, in a workplace big or small, you have the right to join a union. According to the B.C. Federation of Labour, more than 4,600 workers in the province joined a union last year, and the process isn’t nearly as daunting as some (perhaps your boss) would have you believe.

Step 1 There is no “i” in team, so you can’t start a union all by yourself. The first step to getting a signed collective agreement is to talk with your co-workers and find out what issues are important to them. The whole point of joining a union is to make your place of employment a better and safer place to work, so it is crucial to find out what are the issues that matter at your worksite and what workers would like to see change.

government agencies? The answer — after even a brief look in the mirror — is no. We do not support this race to the bottom that the Liberal government has set us on with deregulation, self-regulation and the watering down of standards and enforcement. Yet, this is happening and the results are both shocking and shameful. On Labour Day, the trade union movement salutes the hundreds of thousands of British Columbians who toil to make the province work whether they are in a union or not. We understand that

After you’ve chosen the right union to go to bat for you, have as many people in your workplace as possible sign union cards. Not only is signing union cards a legal requirement to get a union vote, it also ensures most people at your worksite are united. B.C. Fed recommends getting at least two thirds of employees to sign union cards. They will contact the employer and request voluntary acceptance of the union’s right to engage in collective bargaining. Employers don’t have the right to know who signed and will never be told.

good jobs support strong families and strong communities. Main Street merchants understand this too. Well-paid workers spend their paycheques in their communities and keep local businesses alive. They also pay the bulk of the taxes that pay for critical public services such as health care and education. We understand that when unions are under attack, just as they are now, salaries are pushed down, jobs disappear and working conditions deteriorate. The tree planters we helped this summer understand this all too well. For them, and for all the workers in the province, we pledge to continue to build

Colo., I saw them in action at a conference of the Business Alliance for Local Living Economies (BALLE), which represents more than 21,000 independent business members across the U.S. and Canada. When times are tough, federal and provincial governments are too quick to slash programs, throw people out of work and deprive citizens of public services they’ve come to rely on. And they’re too quick to embrace privatization as the easy, shortterm fix — even though it may cost them so much more in the long term. What we really need right now is a bold, visionary approach to government that is unafraid of trying creative new revenue streams with an aim to protecting public services and the dedicated workers who provide them.

Together, we celebrate the dignity and honour of working people everywhere. Happy Labour Day! 3464-0710

Pair celebrate B.C. gold, get set for school It’s goodbye sand, hello dusty gym. For Coquitlam’s Kelsey Davidson and Port Coquitlam’s Megan Rosenlund, the end of summer signifies more than just the end of fun and the start of school. Next week, the pair part ways and put beach volleyball behind them for the indoor high school court scene. And while the teenagers will enjoy trying to bury the ball past one another while playing for Centennial and Riverside respectively, they’ll also have the shared memory of a provincial gold medal won on the sand. “We’re best friends in real life and play in the same club,” Davidson said of the bond the pair has established over the years. “On sand we naturally complement each other.” The two racked up the under-16 girls B.C. Beach Volleyball championship last month, edging their rivals from Surrey 2117, 19-21, 15-5. It was the second time in three years that the Tri-Cities duo had achieved provincial gold. The pair cruised through a couple of preliminary games but ramped it up for a hard-fought final. “The first two sets (in the final) were really close,” Rosenlund said. “We came back and I think they just folded... It felt great, after a long two days, six matches you’re just filled with joy.” The duo have been court pals since signing up with the Coquitlam Ducks club more than four years ago. And though they play on opposing sides in both club and high school, the friendship has endured. The on-court chemistry hasn’t hurt, either. “Megan gets a lot of balls up, she’s faster than me,” Davidson said. “Kelsey’s serving kind of put us through, her passing and serving is a great advantage,” Rosenlund returned. For the beach season, the pair practised regularly and hit a couple of key tournaments before charging into the provincials. They both like the beach season because of it being two-against-two, where each return offers an opportunity to dive or dig in for the ball. “It’s kind of different, in that beach is more individual, you have less time to react,” Rosenlund noted. They began their march with a couple of second-place finishes at tournaments, tuning up for the B.C.s. “I think we were a both a bit rusty, and this (B.C. final) was the toughest one yet,” Davidson added.

EVERYONE’S TARGET: The Centennial Centaurs will be looking to defend its 2009 B.C. Triple-A High School Football title, while all other teams will be trying to knock them off the pedestal. Exhibition action hits the turf this weekend.

Cents set sights on repeating as B.C. champs Stories by Dan Olson sports@thenownews.com The spotlight is going to feel a little different this year for the Centennial Centaurs. This time, the heat will be on. Last year’s Triple-A B.C. High School senior football champions, the Centaurs slowly stole the show last year, flying under the radar of some opposing coaches and the mainstream media until late in the season. Following their dramatic 39-36 B.C. final victory over the W.J. Mouat Hawks, Centennial has now become the centre of attention. New head coach Ryk Piche, who replaced Kevin Phillips after the longtime Cent skipper accepted an assistant coaching position with the Simon Fraser University football program, says while some names are different, the goal remains the same. To paraphrase Oakland Raiders leg-

end Al Davis, just win again, baby. “Things haven’t changed that much,” Piche, himself a 1994 Centennial grad, said. “We lost a few seniors who were exceptional athletes, but we have a really strong core of Gr. 11s turning into Gr. 12s, and a crop of players up from junior.” Those two factors are quite significant, when you delve into just who is returning and who is making the jump. Piche, who spent the past handful of seasons working the sidelines alongside Phillips as either the offensive or defensive coordinator, says this year’s Centaurs will have the benefit of championship experience. Key returning veterans like all-purpose player Bobby Pospischil, tackle Jacob Hayes and centre Lucas Telfor will take over from offensively gifted grads like Lemar Durant, Nehemie Kankolongo and Spencer Lang. The 5’10 Pospischil will slot in to replace Durant as the quarterback

spearheading the attack. “Just like last year, we’re going to plug our best athlete in at quarterback,” he said. “(Pospischil) has got a terrific arm, he’s quick and he wants the ball.” Another returning sparkplug, running back Johnny Kalambay, will be one of Pospischil’s prime targets. Add the fact that Centennial can boast 15 kids over 200 pounds, including 6’7, 320-pound tackle Connor Nolan, and what you have is a recipe that spells success. Centennial will have eight returning starters on both offence and defence, to set the tone. The squad will also welcome members of last year’s B.C. Junior champions, who, like the seniors, pulled out a thrilling win when they topped St. Thomas More 24-22 in the final. The star of that victory, rusher/ kicker Jason Buren, will take on a larger role with the seniors, joined by linebacker Nolan Stutt. Both saw

action with the seniors last year. Piche wasn’t disappointed to be only ranked third in the first Province newspaper preseason Triple-A football poll, behind Eastern Conference rival W.J. Mouat and Vancouver College. Even ranked third, no one is going to underestimate the Centaurs. “It’s a great position to be in, because as we’ve learned success breeds success,” he said. “Centennial is really a football culture now.” The Cents kick off the exhibition season this weekend against twotime 2-A Washington champion the Lynden Lions. The following week they play a neutral site game against 5-A Post Falls of Idaho. The first league game isn’t until mid-October, when they play Holy Cross. Those first two tests will give Piche a good sense of what the team needs to do for the regular season. “We have a real big chip on our shoulder, something to prove. People are going to be gunning for us.”

Clan ready for Div. II debut A new season brings some new challenges for the Simon Fraser University Clan. The men’s football program is launching the school’s entry into the world of NCAA Division II athletics, starting tomorrow (Saturday) against the Western Oregon University Wolves at Terry Fox field (kickoff at 4 p.m.). SFU first played in the NAIA under U.S. college football rules from 1965 to 2001 before joining Canadian Interuniversity Sport for eight seasons. This season marks the return to the four-down American game. With that in mind, SFU head coach David Johnson sought out some experienced coordinators who could teach what they preach. Enter Brent Barnes and Jordan Malone. “We have been able to make this transition without any major hiccups, and really it’s a major credit to those two individuals and the rest of our staff,” Johnson said of the move back to U.S. rules. “Offensively we are still discovering our identity, we are going to have a multiple set offence, and because we are very young, we are going to use a lot of misdirection and quick hits.” Barnes, the Clan’s offensive coordinator, earned his stripes by coaching at both Middlebury College and the University of Chicago. Malone, the defensive coordinator, joined SFU after serving as a defensive assistant

with the University of Central Arkansas. “Defensively, we are a little more established, we have more returning players, and we are very athletic, particularly up front on our defensive line.” Santa Rosa junior college transfer Quinton Agosta is expected to be the starting quarterback on opening day. Senior running back Gabe Ephard, who averaged 7.7 yards a carry in 2009, will likely get the start against the Wolves. Mathias Baumbach, SFU’s top returning receiver, and San Mateo transfer B.J. Bryant will be the main targets for Agosta in the opener. On defence, the defensive line will feature four returning starters from 2009, including guards Justin Capicciotti and Scott Puffer and tackles Dan Martin and Blair West. Terry Fox alumn Fabian Olaru is part of the deep sophomore class. Canada West all-star cornerback Nigel Parma will move over to halfback this season. Freshmen who will make the move up from high school include linebackers Casey Chin, a Port Moody native (and New Westminster Hyack grad), Coquitlam’s Victor Nunez of the B.C. AAA champion Centennial Centaurs, offensive linemen Thomas Basso and Curtis Starinovich, both of Centennial, and Archbishop Carney grad Don Labayo.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Cancer June 21-July 22: Pay attention to details, addresses: mistakes are possible. You could find old letters, emails from long ago. Siblings re-connect. Avoid major new starts before Sept. 12. An Augustlong influence of domestic friction will ebb soon, leading to romance, beauty, acceptance, creative work and general joy in life! (Might start this week, or early next.) Wednesday begins an autumn of success and luck in legal, educational, international, love and cultural spheres, especially if you work at them. Chase money/shop Sunday/Monday. Attend to home, kids late week. Romance Saturday! Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Start nothing big before Sept. 12, especially in earnings, purchasing and possessions – but a “renewed” start on an old project/venture might be slated midweek. All week, a former casual sensual relationship is good, a new one not. Your energy and charisma shine Sunday/ Monday. Travel, friends, communications have been lucky and intriguing the last few weeks – and are again, Thursday/Friday. But this promising area will ebb, recede soon – a powerful, perhaps romantic domestic situation will replace it. Are you ready for commitment? Saturday holds clues – in your neighbourhood. Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Rest Sunday/Monday. Your charisma, energy and luck soar Tuesday/Wednesday! (And all month.) Continue to avoid big new starts before Sept. 12. Apply your high spirits to ongoing projects and relationships, or those that return from the past. You’ve had a nice ”money run” for a month or so (in which you’ve probably reduced your bank account by lax/optimistic spending) – this ends soon, so start tightening up. (Wait until Sept. 14 onward to create a budget.) There will be many reasons to spend during the six-seven weeks ahead: travel will call, perhaps via siblings. Job inspiration Thursday!

If you’re unattached, this could be your last chance for a while to ﬁnd romance (with someone already met?). If you’ve recently formed an attraction, the weeks ahead could deepen it, bringing intimacy and questions of commitment. You’re having second thoughts about work, and the choices you’ve made. What to do? It’s best just to work, period, at whatever. Don’t sweat decisions. This is an easy, smooth, romantic, inspired week! Taurus April 20-May 20: The emphasis lies on romance, beauty, pleasure, creativity, speculation, successful risk. You’re on a winning streak, especially Tuesday/Wednesday and Saturday! (Other four days: tackle practicalities.) Your social life will meet luck and expanding popularity from this week to next January. And better: starting this week and next, romantic opportunities turn to partnership opportunities, through November. Singles among you are in for a great time (unless you’re chained to the couch). Remember, start nothing before Sept. 12: if someone enters before this, hopefully he/she’s a former ﬂame. Gemini May 21-June 20: Remember, start nothing new before Sept. 12. That said, your romantic prospects, high for the last month, remain that way until the 14th. But time is running out. If you have your eye on two or three people (or one) make your bid (Sunday/Monday or, better, Thursday/Friday). Someone with whom you’ve shared love before is better than someone new. Saturday shows you what awaits for the rest of 2010: work, career, ambition, health concerns. Midweek (Tuesday/Wednesday) pay attention to home, kids, nature, real estate: a new project might start, with a former situation or object.

# # # # # # # # Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Start nothing brand new and important before Sept. 12. A romantic link or creative opportunity inspires this whole week, especially Thursday eve through Friday night. If you’ve wanted to contact an old flame, this is the time to do so. (Best Sunday/Monday or Thursday/Friday.) Also great for working on film, creative chores, etc. (And for health, sanitation regimes neglected for a while.) Your romantic clout/attractiveness, high since early August, is about to ebb mildly (though it still supports sensual relationships nicely through November) so don’t delay. Rest, government, therapy midweek. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Wishes could come true, especially ones you formed long ago – and especially Tuesday/Wednesday. Remember, start nothing new and significant before Sept. 12. Your career, ambitions and prestige relations demand attention (and reward it) Sunday/Monday. Midweek thrills with social joys, flirtations, entertainment, popularity and high hopes! Retreat for a breather Thursday/Friday. (All week, especially during this “breather,” problems magically dissolve. Your energy and charisma surge back Saturday. Soon, very soon, your romantic magnetism will rise – for four months! Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: This week and next, the high hopes of August ebb into the “forming stage” – where you’ll contemplate them, plan, adjust to give them a path or room to grow, nurture them, etc. (Leave the planning part until next week.) Mostly, those hopes involve(d) romance, creative projects, pleasure, social situations, gatherings, an organization, and work or health. A meeting and/ or conversation this week could inspire or inform you luckily about one of these hopes, especially Thursday/Friday. Earlier, Sunday/Monday are gentle, wise. Be ambitious, friendly with higher-ups Tuesday/ Wednesday.

Sept. 5 - Sept. 11 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Despite mistakes, delays and other irritants, life remains mellow, gentle, loving. Your understanding and compassion flow. But don’t start new ventures before Sept. 12, especially in legal, far travel, publishing, insurance, statistical and cultural areas. It’s a great week for studying history or classical works (or your own family trees/ skeletons). You might receive a great idea about real estate, home, children, security or “Mother Nature” – let it percolate. Big finances, life’s mysteries and subconscious desires rise Sunday/Monday. Ambition, late week. Happiness, social joys Saturday! Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Lots of dealings with others this week. (Remember, in all this, don’t start new ventures or new relationships before Sept. 12: delve into ongoing or past ones.) Sunday/Monday can bring exciting meetings, opportunities – and the need for diplomacy. Secrets, mysteries circle you Tuesday/Wednesday. Delve deep – you could solve a psychological puzzle, find the money, or grow more intimate with someone. Legal, far travel, educational, publishing, cultural and love matters arise Thursday/ Friday. These are building a long-term “base” for ambition, worldly position (as Saturday hints). Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Relationships, partnerships, enemies and allies, opportunities and obstacles, potential fame, the public, negotiations, litigation, relocation – one or more of these fills the two weeks ahead. A new project or venture might begin here Tuesday/Wednesday. For safety and success, focus on “renewed” starts. Temptation in some form (sex, money/greed) has tickled your interest since early August (and does again Thursday/Friday). Soon, these lures will fade, to be replaced by a lucky, gentle, wise romantic urge. Saturday shows an early clue. Your financial intuition is correct this week. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
