RCMP RAID CLOSED SHOP

Nipped in the bud

Marijuana dispensary closes, hemp shop takes its place Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

Burnaby’s first hemp shop has risen from the ashes of the medical marijuana dispensary in Metrotown, which closed following an RCMP raid last summer.

Britney Anne, former director of the Metrotown Medicinal Society, has done everything possible to reopen as a completely legal business, she said in an interview in the new shop last week.

The Burnaby dispensary is no more.

Britney Anne and shop staff kept the doors open following the raid on July 28, to let patients know they would have to go elsewhere for medical marijuana, finally closing on Aug. 31.

Jordan Kuyvenhoven, who was working in the shop on the day of the raid, said it was done respectfully.

“They parked a van out front,” she said. “It was quiet when it happened.”

Britney Anne, Kuyvenhoven and Ryan Steplock have a total of 10 charges against the three of them, with the case going to court in May 2013, Britney Anne said. It’s a risk that people in the dispensary business face, she added.

Britney Anne eventually changed her cellphone number, as people continued to call for months regarding the dispensary, she said.

“We’re trying to run a legal business,” she said of the new shop.

Everything required for operating the dispensary – from about $2,000 worth of marijuana to the computer system – was confiscated during the raid, according to Britney Anne.

“They took everything we had in here,” she said. “We had a lot of debts to pay off.”

But on Jan. 16, the shop reopened as Hemp Page 3

It was part of Project Pink 2012, where 20 schools film their own segments for a video that will be released on Feb. 29, for Pink Shirt Day. The anti-bullying film project was inspired by a video of a flash mob at Oakridge mall in 2011 that went viral on YouTube.

Burnaby grows by 10 per cent Alfie Lau

staff reporter

If Burnaby seemed just a bit more crowded in the last five years, those suspicions were confirmed with Wednesday morning’s release of Stats Canada’s 2011 Census of Population.

Burnaby now has 223,218 residents, an increase of more than 20,000 residents,

from the 202,799 people who lived in the city in 2006. The 10.1 per cent increase is substantially higher than the 4.4 per cent increase in Vancouver, but slightly less than the 12.7 per cent increase in neighbouring New Westminster.

The increased Burnaby numbers mirror the overall increase across the country, as Canada’s overall population increased 5.9 per cent, from 31,612,897 in 2006 to

33,476,688 in 2011. Canada’s population increased 5.4 per cent between 2001 and 2006.

According to the Stats Canada report, the increase in the growth rate was attributable to a slightly higher fertility rate and to an increase in the number of non-permanent residents and immigrants.

Hemp: Shop first of its kind in city continued from page 1

the Metrotown Hemp Shop – a first, she said, for Burnaby, as most hemp or “head” shops are over the border in Vancouver. The shop sells hemp clothing, pipes and other hemp-related products – all legal with a tobacco retail authorization certificate, she said.

Dana Larsen, former B.C. NDP leadership candidate and marijuana legalization advocate, was at the shop to show his support, he said.

Larsen was on the board of the Metrotown Medicinal Society but does not own a share in the new business, he said.

He was disappointed that the dispensary was raided in Burnaby, when there are 12 dispensaries in Vancouver and one in Maple Ridge that have been left alone, he said.

“It’s hurting a lot of patients in this city,” he said.

Businesses in the area were supportive of the dispensary, he and Britney Anne said.

“The only ones not happy were the RCMP,” Larsen added The day after the raid, Cpl. Rick Skolrood of the Burnaby RCMP told the NOW that the society also had a business licence violation but said that was under the jurisdiction of the city, not the police.

The City of Burnaby’s business licence office did not respond to requests from the NOW regarding the hemp shop’s current application.

The hemp shop is operating under a temporary business permit while awaiting approval for a permanent licence.

The society invited the Burnaby RCMP to the dispensary when it first opened, but the police did not respond.

At the time, Burnaby RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Brenda Gresiuk said that compassion clubs and dispensaries aren’t legally entitled to sell marijuana under Canadian law.

“To date, there’s no legal mechanism for that,” she said.

She refused to comment in April on whether or not action would be taken by the RCMP against the dispensary.

Health Canada does not license such organizations to possess, produce or distribute marijuana for medical purposes, according to a June 2010 press release, sent by media relations officer Olivia Caron last year.

The Metrotown Hemp Shop is located at 4927 Kingsway and is open Monday to Friday, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and on Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.

City gives Dow tower green light Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

After assessing the concerns of residents voiced at a public hearing last September, the city has decided to move ahead with approval for the Dow Avenue tower.

“There’s been some significant gains,” Burnaby Coun. Colleen Jordan said at Monday night’s council meeting, regarding revised plans for the property.

Issues brought forward by residents of the neighbourhood surrounding the proposed development at 6634 and 6638 Dow

Ave. included the proximity to Maywood Community School, traffic congestion, displacement of renters in an apartment building on the property, increased crime in the area, the loss of views and privacy, and the effect on property values.

Basil Luksun, the city’s director of planning and building, presented a report to council Monday night, attempting to address those concerns.

The report stated that the proximity to Maywood Community School – the property is behind the school, separated by a back lane – is not an issue because the

majority of school activities are oriented to the interior of the school property, toward Imperial Street.

In response to traffic congestion concerns, the developer commissioned IBI Group, a professional firm that specializes in urban land development planning, to conduct transportation impact studies in the area, according to Luksun.

The current access to the school via Imperial Street is “relatively poor,” according to the report, but can be improved Development Page 8

Love is ...

Valentine’s Day is upon us, and what better place to seek insight into the meaning of love than with a group of children.

The NOW spent a recent morning at Stride Avenue Elementary in Helena Readman’s Grade 2 class to chat with children about the meaning of love – what it looks and how it makes ON MY BEAT like one feel. The students Jennifer Moreau were asked to complete the sentence: Love is …

Here are some of the responses we heard.

Love is when my mom makes me dinner.

Love is when my mom and dad kiss me on the cheek. Love is when I get hurt, my sister helps me. Love is when I am sad, my brother helps me to be happy again. – Mariel, 7.

Love is helping your friends and being kind to people and others. Love is sending Valentine’s cards to people. Love is caring to others. – Victor, 7.

Love is when my mom and dad come to the hospital with me when I’m sick. – Hannah, 7.

Love is work. I go to bed, I sleep and my mom reads a book, and I sleep in bed. My mom kisses me and I sleep. – Sulaiman, 7.

Love is when my aunty and my mom made me some cereal before I came to school today.

Love is when I get tired on the couch and my mom picks me up and she took me to my room and she reads me a bedtime story and she tucks me in and kisses. – Edric, 7.

Love is when I fell down the stairs, I went to the hospital. My dad slept at the hospital.

He slept on the chair for the night. At morning, I was better. Then it was time to go to my home. My dog came to me and he licked me on Larry Wright/burnaby now the cheek. Then he jumped onto me. – Dakota, Love is: Hannah Daniels displays the valentine project she made in her Grade 8.

POWER LINE TREE PRUNING AND HAZARD TREE REMOVALS

Q) Why did you want to become a chef?

At a very young age, I was led into the kitchen of my grandfather’s restaurant in Montreal. If I close my eyes and think about it, I can still remember the aroma. I was hooked.

When: January 30 to May 11, 2012 Time: 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Q) How do you describe your cooking style?

My style is globally inspired, using classic French techniques from my training. I often find myself on a certain kick, but whether its comfort food, Italian or Moroccan, or maybe Korean, Spanish or Chinese, it’s always the basics that speak first.

Trees are a significant cause of power interruptions. Contact between trees and power lines can also create a severe danger.

Over the next few months we will be pruning and removing trees in the V5A and V5G Postal Code area of Burnaby.

Q) What is the menu development process that you take to bring new menu items to life?

Once we decide on a platform for a promotion, we “blue sky” potential menu items. From that huge list, it gets paired down to a workable few dozen items. We try to work a year out, so that we’re working on a promotion within the same season it will launch. From that list, we internally taste all menu items, review plating, and build recipes accordingly. Once items are approved for test, we then train our test stores on the new items, and run the items for a few weeks. We gather feedback, and make decisions on how to move forward. Eight months later, those items could be at a White Spot near you…

Postal Code V5A Boundaries: North to South: Burrard Inlet to Burnaby lake East to West: Cliff Ave. to North Road 3323

Postal Code V5G Boundaries: North to South: Burke St. to Highway 1 East to West: Boundary Road to Sperling Ave. Trees are pruned using the best arboriculture (tree care) practices. Skilled workers employed by BC Hydro are trained in both electrical safety and tree care. Only correct and proper techniques are used to eliminate and safety hazards.

For more information about our current work or other vegetation management practices, please call Mike Chadwick, your area coordinator of Vegetation Maintenance, at 604 528 0952.

Q) What is your favourite restaurant to dine at?

That’s a really tough question… The list is long….. But if I had to choose … In Vancouver, Kintaro is still one of my favorites. All I ever have is the BBQ Pork Ramen, but it’s always incredibly satisfying, and there’s something special about huge pots of simmering broth steaming up the windows.

For 50 years, BC Hydro has been providing clean, reliable electricity to our customers.

Today we are planning for the next 50 years by investing in new projects, upgrading existing facilities and working with our customers to conserve energy through Power Smart.

Q) What food/dish could you never live without?

Cheese. Never! Don’t make me do it!!! www.whitespot.ca

NELSON ELEMENTARY CELEBRATES 100 YEARS

Ila Appleby’s life comes full circle Teacher in same classroom she attended as a six-year-old Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Ila Appleby’s lifelong love for Nelson Elementary started in Grade 1.

It was then, in 1958 in Miss Robinson’s class, that Ila the little girl decided to be a teacher.

So she graduated from high school, went on to Burnaby’s Simon Fraser University and studied to become a teacher.

And sure enough, about 14 years later, Ila the grown woman was at the front of the class teaching the next generation of elementary students.

She was 21 years old when she started her career, and after five other Burnaby schools, she settled at Nelson Elementary, in the very classroom she had sat as a young child more than three decades earlier.

“It was strange at first,” she says.

“Walking through those walls and halls, everything was so much the same but different. It was eerie at first, going to check those nooks and crannies I knew still existed.”

And those curious little hidden spots

and forbidden places that tantalize children are exactly where she took her students. She led them to the bathrooms of the opposite sex, the staff room, the crawl space behind a stock room – all to demystify those spaces.

“If they just know about them and experience them, they are not distracted about them anymore,” she says.

Ila took on Appleby, her husband’s last name, but her students will know her as Mrs. Chapman. She taught Grade 6 and 7 at Nelson, and every other school she worked at was in Burnaby.

Appleby notes that she’s come full circle, from student to teacher.

“I loved my time at Nelson when I was a kid, and I loved it my last 10 years of teaching,” she says.

Appleby is one of members of an organizing committee getting ready for the school’s 100th anniversary celebration this September, so even though she’s retired, she’s still volunteering at Nelson. “(It’s) a huge milestone for the school, (there’s) lots of history, lots of getting together with people that I used to know,” she says. “It’s a huge thing. How many buildings turn 100? And how many people can say they attended, taught and are now on the committee? … It’s a big, big deal for me.”

Calls and emails have been sent out

Full circle:

Ila Appleby attended Burnaby’s Nelson Elementary, grew up, became a teacher and eventually taught in the very classroom she had sat in as a student.

Nelson is gearing up for its 100th anniversary celebration this September.

Larry Wright/ burnaby now

to former students, even from the late 1920s, and the school is inviting former staff and students to the planning meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 15 in the school’s library. (Call 604-664-8784 for more information.)

There will likely be regular monthly meetings leading up to the celebration, so there are plenty of opportunities to get

involved.

If anyone has pictures of Nelson or memorabilia to share, Appleby said the group would love it if they contact the school. There was also a school time capsule buried in 1992 that will be unveiled, but no one knows exactly where it is. If anyone knows the precise location, that would help, too, she added.

Census: International migration boosts numbers continued from page 1

Canada’s population increased at a faster rate than the population of any other member of the G8 group of industrialized nations between 2006 and 2011. This was also the case between 2001 and 2006.

Net international migration accounted for two-thirds of Canada’s population growth during the last 10 years, with natural increase, or the difference between births and deaths, accounting for the other one-third increase.

Stats Canada also breaks down the numbers according to federal electoral districts. For the two Burnaby ridings, the percentage increase is roughly the same, as in Burnaby-Douglas, population increased from 112,119 to 123,275 in the last five years, an increase of 10 per cent.

In Burnaby-New Westminster, the numbers increased 11.1 per cent, from 118,713 to 131,917. www.twitter.com/AlfieLau

People who make the justice system more could well be guilty of heiefficient. This coming from nous crimes will escape justice simply the same person who wanted to waste because the system cannot handle their precious court time broadcasting hockey case. Short of court space, short of judghooligans.

OUR VIEW

Of course, the president of the Canadian Bar Association, B.C. branch said the problem is funding. A system that has been underfunded for years is finally starting to wear out.

The president of the B.C. Crown Counsel Association said there are currently 2,500 cases over 18 months old (the point at which charges could be stayed). He also said there are another 5,000 cases as of five months ago that were between 12 and 18 months old.

There is clearly no time to spare.

We agree with Premier Clark that the problem cannot be solved with just more money. But that is surely a large part of the solution.

The Liberals, understandably, may not want to put any money into ensuring justice is done. But we will all be paying a higher price when those who should be kept off the streets are walking free simply because the system can’t handle the cases.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR An inconvenient argument Dear Editor:

Mr. Finberg may as well fall off his chair again.

I agree with his statement that Al Gore is not a scientist! (Global warming no joke, Burnaby NOW, Jan. 13). As a matter of fact, as I have mentioned repeatedly in submissions to the Burnaby NOW, a British court ruled on Oct. 2, ‘07, that Al Gore’s movie An Inconvenient Truth is nine parts political propaganda and one part science. Virtually every assertion that Gore makes in the movie has been strongly contradicted by sound science. (Not my words. The court’s.) To make his fraudulent views available to billions of people may, eventually, be recognized for what it is: the greatest con job ever.

That’s why Mr. Finberg has no business to compare Newton’s law to the junk science of Al Gore. (Let’s remember: non-scientist Gore himself stated “the science is settled.”) Mr. Finberg follows the doctrine of a certain J. Goebbels who said: “If you repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth.”

For this reason I feel sorry for the readers who try to gather information about the subject by relying on the Burnaby NOW and letters written by people such as Mr. Finberg. Of course there is climate change.

There always has been. However, all relevant scientists agree that not enough is known to summarize the workings of it. How can you fix something of which you do not know the cause? (Kyoto’s answer was to take money from poor people in rich

countries and ship it off to rich people in poor countries. … Would it address the environment? Not much.)

Mr. Finberg must have hoped no one would bother to look up Joe Romm’s website. But I did.

In one debate Joe’s opponent, Marc Morano, wipes the floor with his utterings and exposes him for what he is: a paid spokesperson (at any cost) for Barak Obama.

Another scientist, Bob Carter, states the obvious: computer-generated scare mongering will never survive the truth presented by real science, or words to that effect.

He then produces a number of torpedoes, five as a matter of fact, with which he explodes and sinks the good ship “Global Warming.”

I am sure Mr. Finberg did not want anyone to see that when he asked us to look up Joe Romm!

E. W. Bopp, you had it right. Victor Finberg’s fearmongering is not just misguided but, unfortunately, also dangerous in ways which do not even look connected to the unsuspecting.

Here is a hint. Ask him where on his fantasy island will he get his fuel?

Don’t accept gibberish about something to be invented in the future.

Don’t accept windmills and solar panels. They can replace hydro-generated electricity at triple the cost, that’s all.

Right now, and for the next 50 years, he needs oil!

Where will he get it? And then, why not from Alberta? Why not from a Canadian source?

Ziggy Eckhardt, Burnaby

Other oil solutions Dear Editor:

Opposition to “twinning” the Kinder Morgan pipeline is misguided and harmful to both the environment and the economy.

Of course the Kinder Morgan pipeline should not be “twinned” to the Westridge Marine Terminal. Trying to navigate large tankers east of the Ironworker’s Memorial Bridge is almost as insane as allowing the Gateway pipeline to Kitimat. A spill at any of the river crossings on the Gateway route, at Kitimat, or a Valdez-style incident would be almost impossible to clean up. Alaska has never completed cleanup of the Valdez spill.

However, there is an alternative. The Kinder Morgan pipeline has a tank farm and pumping station in Abbotsford. It then passes through Langley, Surrey and Delta before it crosses the Fraser River.

There is also the Westport Coal Terminal at Tsawwassen. The Westport facility already handles large ships.

Negotiations should be entered into with the Tsawwassen Band to expand Westport to also be an oil terminal.

A new pipeline would then follow the Kinder Morgan right-of-way to Surrey or North Delta, where the new pipeline would need a right-of-way to Westport.

The current Kinder Morgan pipeline would then be used for the transport of fuel from the Alberta refineries and the transport of the crude for the Chevron refinery. Every bit of motor vehicle fuel and the fuel for the cruise ships comes through the Kinder Morgan pipeline. We need it if we don’t all want to drive to Bellingham to fill our tanks and don’t want to lose the cruise ship industry.

Union: Gains made by new technology will offset job losses continued from page 6

Ms. Farrell and COPE 378 that they do not hold a patent on caring for people and their families.

This is a concern that we all share in society.

And we fully expect our governments to pursue prudent policies that support economic growth and job creation.

Availing ourselves of technological innovations such as smart meters that can help to keep B.C.’s

electricity rates among the lowest in North America, and our electricity supply one of the cleanest, is something that supports the province’s job creation policies and will invariably lead to the kind of jobs people want and need, and in numbers far greater than the meter reader jobs being displaced.

So, while it is unfortunate on a personal level that the jobs of the COPE 378 union workers who

previously read electrical meters have been made redundant by technology, the gains made will invariably lead to better jobs and job opportunities for these displaced workers and for many others in our province. The history of technological innovation, from the Stone Age to the present, has shown this to be so.

Embracing cultural diversity in Burnaby The Burnaby Intercultural Planning Table project group spoke to city council on Monday night regarding its work connecting newcomers with their community.

The group asked Mayor Derek Corrigan to declare Feb. 8 Embracing Cultural Diversity Day in Burnaby, which he did.

The group included Jeanne Fike, executive director of Burnaby Family Life and Chris Friesen, director of settlement services for the Immigrant Services Society of B.C. – co-chairs of the table group – and Raj Sharma, chair of the Burnaby Board of Trade’s immigration integration sub-

committee, and Antonia Beck, executive director of South Burnaby Neighbourhood House.

The group answered questions about some of the challenges newcomers face and the work the table does to make Burnaby more inclusive and welcoming, including working with the city and the school board.

Last year, the table received the first Welcome B.C. Award from the B.C. government for its work, the group stated in a letter to council.

Child care gets City makes money on investments a boost in city The city’s child-care resources group, a sub-committee of the social issues committee, was busy last year working on a number of initiatives, according to a report from the director of planning and building, Basil Luksun.

In 2011, the group surveyed local child-care providers about the transition to full-time kindergarten; toured five local centres in March and provided advice to centres, including advice on changes to Burnaby’s bylaws.

It also promoted May as Child Care Month and May 19 as Child Caregiver Appreciation Day in the city; and monitored the development of a community plan for a public system of early care and learning, prepared by the Early Childhood Educators of B.C. and the Coalition of Child Care Advocates of B.C. In 2012, the group intends to prepare a presentation on the results of the child-care provider survey and present it to the social issues committee.

The group also plans to assist city staff in preparation of a step-by-step guide on the approval process for opening a child-care centre.

It will also work on implementing two actions relating to child care in the city’s social sustainability strategy and will once again promote and celebrate Child Care Month in 2012, according to Luksun.

The city invests its money through the City of Burnaby Investment Fund, which includes development cost charges and city reserve funds.

Approximately $437 million is invested in long-term investments, while the rest is invested in shorterterm investments that mature within

a year, Jorgenson added.

The city expects to make $34.5 million, with an annual yield of 5.10 per cent, on its investments in 2012.

THIS YEAR, I WILL

I

In this instalment of our ongoing series, the Burnaby NOW checks in with the B.C. Council of Families for some tips on how to squeeze in more time with the kids and why it’s so important in our hectic world

Putting family first pays dividends

t may not be as common as losing weight or paying off bills, but the resolution to spend more time with the family is a common theme for many. Every family is different but most face the same challenges: time, finances, balancing work and other demands, and sometimes just an uncertainty about how to get the most out of the time they have with their children.

Today, reporter Christina Myers shares some ideas from Ruby Banga, a coordinator with the B.C. Council of Families, in the fourth instalment in our ongoing series.

Keep an eye on future editions of the NOW for expert advice on everything from getting your home organized to learning something new in 2012.

We talked to: Ruby Banga, program coordinator with the B.C. Council for Families Question: Can you tell us a bit about the B.C. Council for Families?

Answer: B.C. Council for Families is a non-profit provincial organization that supports families and family serving professionals in B.C. We understand the needs of families and we develop programs, services and resources to help families. Our vision is healthy families in a healthy society.

Throughout our long history, the B.C. Council for Families has consistently advocated that prevention, promotion and early support must become a valued and essential part of the continuum of supports and services to children, youth and families.

By strengthening and supporting families through information, education, research and advocacy, we believe we can reduce the risks for families and prevent problems before they start.

Q: Many people feel that they don’t spend enough time with their kids, between work, chores, errands, etc. Can small pockets of time – if well used – be as valuable as big pockets of time?

A: Quality time is import-

ant; parents giving their kids undivided attention, and letting the child take the lead in what and how to play, but it’s also really important to give kids lots of short moments of attention throughout the day or whenever you’re together. These interactions can be as small as a smile, touch on the head, an affirming comment about something the child is doing; just showing the child that they’re in your heart throughout the day. Kids who get this kind of ongoing, consistent recognition and affection learn that they don’t need to act out or go for big reactions – they know they’re loved and appreciated for who they are all the time.

Quality time might mean planning for a consistent, scheduled time each day that the child can look forward to. Thirty minutes after dinner playing a game, drawing a picture or talking about their day, will all build the connection, help both parent and child learn about each other’s interests and ideas, and show kids that parents put them at the top of their priorities.

Q: Any tips for ways to carve out a bit more time with our kids – and what to do with that time once it’s been set aside?

A: In today’s world, parents/ families are definitely under more stress than ever before.

It’s important to remember that you can take advantage of times when you are running errands, such as picking up dry-cleaning or picking up the kids from school. It’s still valuable time spent with your child.

Q: When a family has kids with a lot of different age ranges, it can be hard to feel like everyone’s needs are being met. How important is it to set aside one-on-one time with each child?

Dreamstime image/burnaby now

Fun and free: There are plenty of ways to spend time as a family without spending too much

money – like checking out the resources at the local library or getting connected with neighbourhood community centres and organizations.

may have to grab those moments whenever and wherever you can, as they appear. However long or short, it is important to remember it is valuable. It might be something simple like walking the dog, or cooking together, shopping, going for a bike ride, watching a favourite TV show together, etc.

Q: Alternatively, how about family time where everyone is together – and what kinds of things can people do as a family, regardless of the age ranges, to spend time together?

A: There are several things a family can do together. Simple, routine easy things like sharing a meal together Ruby Banga – at least once a day.

A: Every child has Family council There are many benedifferent needs and fits to having a regular everyone wants to feel meal together. important. That one-on-one time Other things families can do with your child is important. together regardless of age is go Plus it’s easier to have meaningoutside! Play! Go for a nature ful conversations when another walk! Get moving! Be active! child is not interrupting. You More and more in the U.S. and might have regularly scheduled “alone” time with your child, but Canada we are hearing about the lack of activity and problems it is not always possible, so you

with obesity in children.

Q: Finances are also sometimes something that’s seen as an obstacle to family time. Do low-cost and simple activities get overlooked, and what kinds of things would you suggest?

A: Finances are tough for most people in today’s world.

Finances can definitely be an obstacle to family time if it’s going to cost a lot of money to visit the aquarium or go to a hockey game with the entire family. However, they do not need to be an obstacle. There are many, many free or low-cost things you can do as a family when money is tight. And, yes, we do often overlook these lowcost, simple activities. I think we get a lot of mixed messages from the media about what we should buy and do. Go to the library – in addition to books, most libraries carry DVDs. Free movies! Build a fort indoors, go for a walk, go to the beach, have an indoor beach party, have a spa day at home. Or visit your local Family Place or family centre.

Family Places offer support and parenting information and host several programs or groups you

can attend with your child. Most of these things are available for free or low-cost.

Q: In the long run, what is the benefit of having strong parent-child-family relationships?

What does the research tell us about how kids fare in differing environments relative to the amount of interaction, support, etc. they get at home?

A: Strong, loving and positive parent-child relationships are the basis for attachment, creating resiliency in kids and helping children feel that the world is a safe place and other people are trustworthy. Parents are their kids’ first and most important teacher; they should never underestimate their role in their children’s social, emotional and intellectual development.

Kids need to know their home is a place of love, acceptance, support and guidance –with that safe base they can explore the world, learn, take risks and weather stress and challenges.

Wondering what to do about flowers on your wedding day? Celia Chiang, of Floral Creations by Celia, offers the following advice: Wedding flowers are probably one of the most important aspects on your special day. They bring fresh scents, colour and life to your event.

Once you choose your colour theme, you can ask your florist about the types of flowers that are in season on your wedding day. You can import almost any type of flower

you like at any time of the year, if you have a large enough budget.

Most brides will choose local flowers. In B.C. we have the largest flower auction on the West Coast and a huge selection of flowers that are grown in our local greenhouses.

When searching for your florist, ask friends or family members who can refer you to someone they’ve worked with in the past. You will definitely want to see their work and portfolio.

When you meet for a free consultation, you should bring pictures of flowers and bouquets that you love. It will give your florist a sense of what your style is. During discussion, you will get a good feeling for their expertise and whether you’d like to continue working with them.

Make time to meet with a few different florists to compare pricing.

Flowers should add up to roughly 10 per cent of your total wedding budget.

Shark-friendly contest on Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Burnaby resident Claudia Li is launching another wedding contest to save sharks from slaughter.

Li founded the group Shark Truth and is leading the charge against shark fin soup, an expensive delicacy often served at Chinese weddings to signify prosperity.

Shark Truth holds an annual contest encouraging betrothed couples to not serve the soup at their weddings, and this year’s prize is a six-day cruise to the Galapogos.

Conservationists, like

Li, are critical of the shark slaughter, which involves “finning,” a practice of slicing the fins off and throwing the shark back into the ocean, often while it’s still alive. The lucrative fin trade is mostly fuelled by demand for the soup.

According to Li, up to 70 million sharks are killed each year, mainly for their fins, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature estimates 25 species of sharks and rays have the potential to go extinct in our lifetime.

“Some of these species are going to disappear if we don’t do something about it now,” Li said.

The movement against

shark fin soup is gaining momentum. Some hotels and supermarkets in Asia have stopped selling the soup, and Toronto and four other Ontario cities have banned the dish.

The “Happy Hearts Love Sharks” contest opens on Valentine’s Day. Contestants submit a creative photo and a story about why they decided to support the cause. The winner is determined by who gets the most online votes from the public.

For more information on the contest, go to www.

HappyHeartsLoveSharks. org, and for more on Shark Truth, go to www.shark truth.org.

Table tennis takes on history

Young champion up against highprofile sports at Sport B.C. awards

Simon Fraser University won its opening game of the Pacific Northwest Collegiate field lacrosse league.

The Clan defeated Western Washington University 16-12 on Burnaby Mountain last Saturday.

Defending league scoring champion Calvin Craig led the Clan with six goals and one assist.

Freshman Sam Clare chipped in with a hat trick, while junior Colton Dow also had a three-point game, including a goal.

Burnaby table tennis champion Shirley Fu is up against the heavy hitters at the Sport B.C. athlete of the year awards.

The 16-year-old Canadian women’s singles champion is shortlisted alongside Victoria diver Emily Schmidt and Coquitlam golfer Jisoo Keel in the junior girls’ athlete category at the Sport B.C. awards to be held at the River Rock Show Theatre on March 8.

Last year, Fu won the Canadian under-21 youth singles title, while also winning the national women’s singles crown.

Fu knocked off Ioullia Degtiar, the highest ranked player in the country and 12 years her senior, by two points in the tiebreaker in the women’s final.

She also took gold in singles and doubles at the Canada Winter Games.

Fu is not just up against worthy opponents, the Burnaby North honours student is also fighting history.

Golfers have won the junior girls’ award for the past two years, while divers Olympic medallist Blythe Hartley and Pan Am Games silver medal winner, Paige Gordon, were junior athlete of the year winners in 2000 and 1989, respectively.

Other junior award winners through the years include former Toronto Blue Jays baseball play-

“It’s giving me more confidence and the desire to put more time into it,” said the Grade 11 Burnaby North student. “In Canada, table tennis is not the most popular sport. So for me, if I could win this award, it would lift the importance of table tennis.”

sports editor

The depth of the St. Thomas More Knights wrestling program was evident at the recent Alberni Invitational meet.

The STM cadet girls’ and boys’ teams finished first and second, respectively, in the cadet division at the high school wrestling meet in Port Alberni last week. The Knights’ schoolgirl squad also reaped a high aggregate score.

their respective weight classes in the cadet age group, while Ivana Baker was also a finalist at 57 kg.

In the cadet boys’ division, Eric Bauer was a winner at 67 kg and Kevin Marshall topped the 78-kg class, while Jordan McKenzie was a runner-up at 74 kg.

Darthe Capellan and Zakkaery Moebes were both third-place finalists at 57 and 63 kg, respectively.

In the Grade 8 category, Alana Bates, Izabella Molnar and Natalie Nelson were all finalists in their weight classes.

Bates was second at 46 kg,

while teammate Vanessa Lloyd placed third in the division.

Molnar made the 57-kg final and Nelson was second at 60 kg.

Ciara Corbett was third at 49 kg.

In the juvenile age class, Clarisse Dos Santos won the girls’ 47-kg final.

Jean-Luc Candolfi and Matthew Evans were the highest finishing senior boys, placing second at 54 kg and 130 kg, respectively.

Niko Repole was fourth at 90 kg.

ings. Central also won the juvenile boys’ team aggregate.

Emily McLaughlin of New Westminster was third in the cadet girls’ 54-kg class.

Burnaby/New Westminster schools will compete at the Lower Fraser Valley wrestling championships in Coquitlam today (Friday).

The top five finishers in each weight class qualify for the upcoming B.C. championships to be held in Penticton on Feb. 24 and 25.

Freshman John Mlikotic finished in a tie for 10th place at the California State University – San Marcos invitational golf tournament on Wednesday.

Mlikotic was in fourth place after a two-round 145 total but slipped to 10th at 11-over-par with a final round 82.

Calum Miller finished at 16-over with a tournament total 232. Mike Belle of Burnaby, a Great Northwest conference player of the week last fall, was 30th overall with three identical 78 rounds.

The two-time Canadian Interuniversity Sport coach of the year has a career record of 276-60 and five national championship titles with the Clan.

Langford also led high school teams to a provincial banner on three separate occasions. In 1997 and 2001, Langford led B.C.’s under-19 women’s team to gold at the Canada Summer Games.

A pro tryout

Former SFU soccer player Dalvir Malhi was selected to the North American Soccer League combine this Friday.

JUNIOR B HOCKEY

Giants need heat against midget Ice

Steelers win but fail to gain ground Tom Berridge sports editor

The Grandview Steelers started the month of February out right with a pair of wins last week.

The Burnaby-based junior B hockey club passed a couple of tough tests, gaining top marks for back-to-back wins against the North Delta Devils and the Abbotsford Pilots.

Last Saturday, Grandview scored three times in the second period to fashion a 5-2 victory over the third-place Devils at Sungod Arena.

Kentaro Tanaka led the way with a first-star, threepoint showing, including a goal in the go-ahead middle frame.

Second star Giancarlo Romano picked up three assists in the win, including a setup on Danny Merth’s eventual game-winner late in the second period.

At home, William McGladrey recorded his first shutout of the season, backstopping a 6-0 win over the second place Brittain conference Pilots.

Third star Joel Gaudet got Grandview off to a quick start, assisting on Kyle Golz’s opening marker in the first two minutes of play.

Gaudet also tallied his fourth goal of the year to

start the middle frame, upping the score to 2-0.

Romano also scored in the second period. The 20year-old Burnaby forward is currently second in overall team scoring with 25 points.

Grandview finished off the Pilots with goals by first star Karl Schopf, Matt Martin and Joey Santucci.

Chris Busto was the game’s second star with two assists.

Despite the wins, lastplace Grandview failed to pick up any ground on the fourth-place North Vancouver Wolf Pack.

The North Van club picked up a pair of wins over Port Moody and a key 5-4 victory over the Delta Ice Hawks on a game-winning goals from Burnaby’s Marco Finucci last week.

With just six games and two weeks left in the regular season, every win is important in catching the Wolf Pack for the final playoff spot.

“We got to keep winning and our second-last game is against (North Vancouver), so that will be the deciding factor,” said Grandview head coach Aldo Bruno.

The Steelers are home to the Mission Icebreakers this Sunday at the Burnaby Winter Club. Game time is 4 p.m.

A series win against the Kooteney Ice this weekend would lock up first place in the B.C. major midget hockey league for the Nortwest Giants.

With six games left in the regular season, the Giants currently have an eight-point cushion atop the 11-team loop.

The Giants lost a game to the opposition last week, dropping their first match in 21 games following a 2-0 shutout to the thirdplace Greater Vancouver Canadians on Sunday.

The Burnaby-based

Giants opened weekend play with a 3-2 win over the Canadians.

Bret Higham scored the game-winning goal on a second-period power play – one of three Giants goals with the extra man.

Josh Thrower and Justin White scored a goal apiece in the opening period for the Giants. Braden Krogfoss recorded the win in goal.

In other major midget action, Greater Vancouver plays the Fraser Valley Bruins at the Burnaby Winter Club on Saturday.

Game time is 7:45 p.m.

BU loses Beanpot final in OT Larry Wright/burnaby now

Goal-getter: Sydney Roy, with ball, scored the

lone goal for the Burnaby Girls Strikers in a 1-1 draw with Chilliwack in an under-18 Metro girls’ soccer match at Burnaby Lake-West on Sunday.

Jr. B Lakers name new coach Baun Adlington was named the new head coach for the Burnaby junior B Lakers lacrosse club.

The posting is a step up from minor, where he coached the midget A1 and A2 teams, as well as a bantam A club on the North Shore.

The lifelong Burnaby

lacrosse player has also helped coach the senior men’s field team. He currently plays senior B box lacrosse with the Ladner Pioneers.

Kaleigh Fratkin of Burnaby scored her third goal of the season for Boston University in the school’s 5-2 win over Harvard in the opening game of the 34th annual Beanpot women’s hockey tournament on Feb. 1.

Fratkin, a sophomore defender on Boston, gave BU a 2-0 lead with her power-play goal against the Ivy League school. Although Harvard’s two counters both came on power plays, Boston killed off nine other penalty kill opportunities to record the win.

On Tuesday, the 10th-ranked Boston school lost 4-3 in overtime to No. 7 Northeastern in the final of the women’s Beanpot, symbolic of hockey supremacy between Bostonarea university programs.

The loss snapped a five-game winning streak for Boston University and denies the women’s team its first Beanpot title as a varsity program.

Aries March 21 - April 19: You are going through massive changes (2009-2023), especially in your worldly status, career and relationships. The question is: will they be beneficial changes, or otherwise?

To see and follow the best future, to nudge those changes toward the beneficial, the most important thing you can do is hope, understand and see life and people as positive. This week gives you that hope, and a road sign to successful changes/results, especially Sunday afternoon to Tuesday midday, and late Thursday night through Saturday. Watch, observe, think! Wisdom (love?) comes, Wednesday/ Thursday.

Taurus April 20-May 20: Keep striving. One last big effort could push a project toward success.

Tackle chores early Sunday. This eve to Tuesday morning offers challenges but also opportunities – seek the new, the fresh, be outgoing, make contacts, negotiate, find common ground. Don’t seek agreement Tuesday daytime to pre-dawn Thursday, unless you’re prepared to give everything, or to make a spiritual/psychological sacrifice. Avoid collusion, skirting the law, and gossip-inducing situations. Good investments, research Thursday. Wisdom, gentle love, travel, law, culture bless you Friday/Saturday.

Gemini May 21-June 20: Start getting your affairs in order, start any crucial projects – a slowdown will occur in about one month. On the one hand, there’s friendly romance – more correctly, the hope of romance. On the other hand, a financial step, an investment (or debt program) or even a sexual link – these will “overrule” romance this week. Until 2023, remember: sex, money and lifestyle will defeat light, friendly, social romance and fun, non-binding love affairs; but heavy romance (infatuation, “the world well lost” romance) will defeat all these. This remains a puzzle until October: then you’ll see.

NOTICE TO CREDITORS AND OTHERS Re: The Estate of WILMA MARGARET REES aka MARGARET M. REES and MARGARET REES, deceased, formerly of 77 Jamieson Court, New Westminster, British Columbia Creditors and others having claims against the estate of WILMA MARGARET REES aka MARGARET M. REES and MARGARET REES are hereby notified under section 38 of the Trustee Act that particulars of their claims should be sent to the Executor, Royal Trust Corporation of Canada, at 7th Floor, 1055 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, BC, V6E 4P3 on or before March 12, 2012, after which date the Executor will distribute the estate among the parties entitled to it, having regard to the claims of which the Executor then has notice.

Royal Trust Corporation of Canada, Executor

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Cancer June 21-July 22: Complete any investment, financial, research, health or lifestyle projects this week. Next week starts a month of intellectual, travel, love and cultural involvements. Meanwhile, be home, hug the kids Sunday morning. This afternoon to Tuesday afternoon brings pleasure, beauty, romance, creative urges and a wee winning streak. You might face a deep, subtle, almost unseen conflict between a relationship and your ambitions midweek. Honour the relationship. Tackle chores, not ambitions.

Relationships confront you Friday/Saturday: embrace them – others support you, deeply!

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Cooperate, negotiate, chase new horizons, opportunities. DON’T fight or oppose. Get out Sunday morning: garage sales, used items offer bargains. But return home (or sink into nature, parks, a nice restaurant) Sunday afternoon to Tuesday afternoon – you can accomplish good things, especially in plumbing, or talks about love, trust, domestic chore-splitting. Your romantic side surges Tuesday eve to Thursday eve. Chores or duties might interfere, not with romance, but with its long-term future – if so, know chores/duties will win.

Tackle these, and health concerns, Friday/Saturday.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: It’s your last week of work, drudgery and health concerns. Soon, a month of new horizons and exciting relationships begins. Meanwhile, work hard, clear the decks for future opportunities. Buy/sell Sunday a.m. Later, through Tuesday, immerse yourself in errands, communications, short trips, and casual contacts (one of whom holds vast hidden significance) – better Monday than Tuesday. Head for home sweet home midweek. Thursday eve to Saturday, you might have to choose between romance and sex, speculation and investment, creativity and research: choose the first of each pair.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: This is your last week of romance,fine creative surges,risk-taking and winning – soon, a month of chores begins. Your energy and charisma attract attention Sunday, but much of it is muted, deep. Chase money Sunday eve to Tuesday – make purchases Monday, not Tuesday. Errands, travel, calls, paperwork and details fill Wednesday/ Thursday – your luck’s good, but a recent, promising relationship or opportunity might hit a barrier of money, crime or “different sex.” Domestic matters, real estate and security flow well Friday/Saturday: avoid big relationship commitments.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Rest up Sunday. Your energy soars this p.m. to Tuesday – a good time to tackle domestic concerns. You might receive news of an upcoming pleasurable event or contact – one you know holds a romantic potential. But before that event comes, you might face, midweek, a falling out with someone who wants you to remain a partner, or with a co-worker who finds your communications unsettling. You’re in command, but be understanding.

We should never alienate the defeated. Chase money, buy and sell Wednesday/Thursday. Talk, travel benefit you Friday/Saturday. Compliment, say the right thing!

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: You’re enjoyably busy – talk, write, travel, perform paperwork and errands.

Sunday morning supports your hopes, but retreat for a sweet rest this p.m. to Tuesday – contemplate, plan. Your energy bursts forth Tuesday eve through Thursday – tackle big things. Buy, sell, seek more money Friday/Saturday. VIPs back off, give you room.

In the weeks ahead, romance (or nature’s beauty) sweetens, yet a partner or lover retreats inward – this might signal a money or possessiveness problem, or perhaps he/she is leading you into a beneficial nesting phase. Embrace slowness!

Feb. 12 - 18, 2012 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: A social whirl fills Sunday eve to Tuesday – your optimism and popularity rise, a wish might come true (about a trip, a call, mail or a contact). Invite others to an entertainment venue.

Many stale or misguided things in your life are being crushed or eliminated this decade – but the one thing sure to grow is your social life. Give it a hand: passivity loses! Retreat, rest and contemplate Tuesday eve to Thursday night – all’s easy, smooth, but realize a draconian approach crushes domestic affection. Your energy and charisma soar Friday/Saturday – you’ll attract good things.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Your energy, magnetism and effectiveness continue to ride a wave of opportunity and success – be confident, make things happen. Good money ideas will come soon: wait until next week to put them in play. Conversations and friendly meetings lead to affection, grace and favour (but midweek’s gossip might squelch an affair). Sunday morning’s idealistic, dreamy, but get ambitious this p.m. and Monday. Friends gather Tuesday eve to Thursday night – get out, mingle, enjoy your popularity! A wish could come true. Shop, earn money and pursue sensual links Friday/Saturday.

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: This is your last week of weariness, health concerns and quietude. Feb. 18 begins a month of high energy, success and attention.

Meanwhile, plan, contemplate, be spiritual and charitable. Sunday begins with mysteries, but soon flows into a mellow, wise feeling that fills Monday and Tuesday. Be ambitious midweek – it’s a lucky time for prestige and your career, but barriers exist where money (compensation?) enters, especially between you and someone who’s been cultivating you, or a friend. Speaking of friends, your social life quickens Friday/Saturday. The future brightens! timstephens@shaw.ca
