MP slams ‘habitat’ change Change in Fisheries Act removes habitat protection Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

The federal Conservatives have gone ahead with a move scientists have feared: removing the term “habitat” from a key section of the Fisheries Act. “What the government is doing is gutting environmental protection and gutting protection for our fisheries,” said Burnaby-New Westminster MP Peter Julian. “What they are doing is irresponsible for the environment and for the future of the fisheries.”

The changes to habitat protection rules in the act are expected to make things easier for industrial projects, like the proposed Enbridge pipeline. Julian said the government is “gutting” the system of checks and balances to protect the environment.

“They are doing it because this government thinks the only thing Canada can export is raw materials – raw bitumen and raw logs,” he said. “When they are exporting those products, they are exporting jobs.”

The move was also no surprise to retired DFO biologist Otto Langer, who received leaked information in March that the Tories were secretly planning to remove habitat protection measures for fish. The proposed wording he received was almost identical to what appeared in Bill C-38.

“Basically, they’ve gutted the habitat section of the Fisheries Act, and it’s going to be extremely difficult to protect fish habitat,” Langer said. “If you don’t protect the habitat, you don’t have fish.”

Langer said the government did not hold public consultations on the changes but Langer Page 4

Clean streets: Const. Shelby Murphy wants youth to know that graffiti is not a harmless crime. The Burnaby RCMP officer is leading anti-graffiti efforts, which involve weekly ‘paintouts’ to remove the paint as quickly as possible.

Cracking down on graffiti Alfie Lau

staff reporter

The fight against graffiti continues in Burnaby.

The Burnaby RCMP is continuing to take a pro-active approach to fighting graffiti in the city.

According to Const. Shelby Murphy, the Burnaby RCMP’s anti-graffiti coordinator, the city doesn’t let graffiti stay on walls for very long.

“When we’re made aware of graffiti in the city, we try to get it down as soon as possible,” said Murphy. “The message we want to send is we’re going to take back the community. If we see graffiti, we’ll have weekly paintouts to get it taken down.”

Murphy said graffiti often shows up on buildings around SkyTrain lines, and with both lines running through Burnaby, that means the city sees more than its fair share of graffiti.

Convincing youth that graffiti isn’t a harmless crime is part of Murphy’s strategy.

“We want youths to realize that there is a criminal subculture to graffiti and graffiti can lead to more serious crimes,” said Murphy. “The common perception is it’s only kids who are getting involved with graffiti, but we’re seeing more adults between the ages of 18 and 22 getting involved. ... When youths get involved in that network, it can lead to other criminal things.”

Murphy said any youths who are

SMARTEN UP THIS SUMMER.

arrested often go through the restorative justice program, which has a large education aspect to it.

The City of Burnaby’s graffiti bylaw requires that hate- and profanity-laced graffiti be removed within 48 hours and all other types of graffiti be removed within 14 days.

There is a $500 fine for placing graffiti and up to a $500 fine for failure to remove graffiti.

Burnaby RCMP is treating graffiti vandalism with zero tolerance, as those caught engaging in graffiti vandalism can face criminal charges or a bylaw fine.

THEN & NOW – A SPECIAL SERIES PROVIDES A GLIMPSE INTO BURNABY’S UNIQUE HISTORY A single snapshot reveals details about the past both large and small, from history-making events to the small, private moments of individuals.

In our ongoing series, Then & NOW, reporter Christina Myers has taken a glimpse into Burnaby’s past through pho-

tographs revealing the people, places and unique moments in the city’s 120-year history.

In today’s instalment, the NOW takes a historical look at a place that appears often in these very pages: Burnaby City Hall.

Things have changed a lot since those first

council meetings at a small boarding house.

Change reflected in city hall history

W

hen Burnaby was incorporated as a municipality in 1892, there were an estimated 300 people living within its borders.

Today, 120 years later, there are more than 220,000 people living in the city, making it the 20th largest municipality by population in Canada.

In the intervening years, the seat of municipal power has grown accordingly.

The first city hall was built in 1899, seven years after incorporation (and seven years after the first-ever council held its meeting at Sample’s Boarding House on Beresford Street). Located at Kingsway and Edmonds Street, the new city hall was near the bulk of the city’s population at that time, in South Burnaby, and near the tram line, which travelled through

the city from Vancouver to New Westminster.

That original wood building later became a public hall and then was demolished in 1962 to make way for the Edmonds branch of the public library.

The second city hall, a large brick building – which can be seen behind the two young women in the photo below right – was built in 1911 not far from the original building and would be used for more than 40 years.

It later served as a police headquarters and was eventually torn down in 1970.

For 10 years starting in 1932, the provincial government took control of the city as a result of the ongoing Depression; the city was run by a commissioner, and the province was responsible for welfare for the unemployed.

But in 1942, with the war in Europe still raging and the economy improving, Burnaby returned to its own elected council.

The current city hall on Canada Way was built in 1956. It was considered to be thoroughly modern and reflective of the growing city. With development in North Burnaby booming after the Second World War, the new location represented “central” Burnaby much better than the former South Burnaby location.

The building cost $625,000 and was officially opened on June 22, 1956 by then-Reeve Charles MacSorley.

By then, the city’s population had grown to more than 75,000.

Today’s city hall has had an update or two over the years and, in 1975, the facility got a significant expansion with the construction of the “west building.”

In 1992, Burnaby became an official city.

The city has 1,516 regular full-time and regular part-time staff working at facilities around Burnaby. Of those, 608 – more than twice the population of the entire city in 1892 – are located at city hall itself.

Among them are Blanka Zeinabova, an administrative officer, and Therese Nielsen, from the planning department (see photo below left). They are just two of the hundreds of staff who help run what is now the province’s third-largest city.

DATELINE 1940

Canada was at war in 1940 – and would remain so for another five years. Mackenzie King won a second consecutive majority in Ottawa and, for the first time, unemployment insurance was introduced.

In Burnaby, the crippling impact of the Depression was slowly lifting.

After a decade of provincial control, an elected council returned to the city in 1942, returning to the city hall building seen in the background of the photo below. That structure was built in 1911.

Reports can also be made to the City of Burnaby graffiti hotline at 604-298-TAGS (8247) or online at www.burnaby.ca/reportgraffiti.

The city has also been involved with a mural program where the city funds up to half the costs of murals in the city.

Research has shown that graffiti artists tend to leave murals alone.

Burnaby has more than 17 murals painted on private property, with businesses covering the other half of the costs. Businesses do have to pay all the up-front costs and apply to the mural program for reimbursement.

Burnaby’s four neighbourhood associations – Edmonds Business and Community Association, Kingsway Imperial Neighbourhood Association, the Heights Merchant Association and Burnaby North Road Business

Improvement Association – are involved in the application process.

The city has had a task force on graffiti for several years now. The city enacted a tough anti-graffiti bylaw in September 2007 and created the position of anti-graffiti coordinator to combat the problem of tagging in Burnaby.

Murphy works with Kathy Wipf, the city’s anti-graffiti coordinator.

Questions on graffiti vandalism can be directed to Wipf at 604-294-7388 or Murphy at 604-294-7922.

buried them in the budget bill instead.

“It’s not the way you change legislation, you don’t sneak it on the end of another bill you need to pass to keep government functioning,” Langer said.

“This government is so arrogant.”

In March, more than

625 scientists, including Canada’s most senior ecologists and aquatic scientists, signed a letter urging Prime Minister Stephen Harper to back off from changing the Fisheries Act, and a society of Canadian biologists and ecologists also wrote the government, urging the Conservatives not to rewrite the laws.

The changes are outlined

in Bill C-38, which was introduced in the House of Commons on April 26 and passed first reading, but with the Tories holding a majority, it is almost certain to become law. According to Bill C-38, the Jobs, Growth and Long-Term Prosperity Act, the Tories are proposing to change Section 35.1 of the Fisheries Act, which states that no one can carry

on work or undertaking that “results in the harmful alteration, disruption or destruction of fish habitat.”

The new wording reads: “No person shall carry on any work, undertaking or activity that results in serious harm to fish that are part of a commercial, recreational or Aboriginal fishery, or to fish that support such a fishery.”

Volunteering for families

by Kelina Kwan

Where would you go if you have recently arrived in Burnaby, have a young family, and need help? If you ask Katalin Camara, she will refer you to Burnaby Family Life. Camara started working for the organization as a volunteer 17 years ago, and is now the Director of Operations.What is so unique about Burnaby Family Life? What makes Camara and others like her stay for so long?

Burnaby Family Life began as a grassroots organization, and has been serving families in Burnaby for the past 40 years.

The organization runs many familyrelated programs providing services for families with young children, a licensed day care, child-minding services, programs for children living with abuse, programs for adults in families dealing with violence, family life education, pregnancy outreach programs, and the list goes on.

Camara joined the organization in 1994, soon after a big change occurred in the population in Burnaby.To serve the fast growing new immigrant families, Burnaby Family Life introduced a number of multi-cultural programs, some of which

are still running today. Coupled with the change in population and programing, is the change in personnel. In order to help immigrant families effectively,“We have staff who are immigrants.They work more easily with immigrants because they understand what the new families have been through.They understand the immigration process and the settlement process” said Camara.

Today, Burnaby Family Life has staff who, together, speak more than 45 different languages. It is the place where immigrants and their families go to for help because “they feel it is their home.

They feel welcomed.They feel they are accepted, not that they will have to adjust or that they cannot be themselves.

They feel they are comfortable in our culture” said Camara.

This is also how Burnaby Family Life makes volunteers feel.The organization has volunteers who help out in general, but their core organized volunteering centers around the licensed day care.

“We have a lot of practicum students who volunteer, mainly in early childhood education. But we also have practicum nurses, practicum student counsellors,

The Hats Off Day Committee is actively seeking volunteers to assist with the road closure of Hastings Street from Boundary Road to Gamma Avenue. We are looking for individuals and groups to help fill the 140 spots we need to effectively close Hastings and monitor Albert and Pender streets and keep pedestrian traffic safe. If you would like to volunteer you can email Lee Faurot at lee@volunteerburnaby.ca

and students doing master level work.

We try to support the practicum placement.” Camara also points out that the only difference between volunteers and staff members is that volunteers are not paid. Otherwise, volunteers are treated as if they are part of the staff. The organization interviews, hires, orientates, and trains volunteers as if they are part of their staff family.They also try their best to provide volunteers with what they need in order to volunteer with them. For example, if a volunteer needs to travel to a location, they will provide bus passes.They also provide feedback and volunteer appreciation, and make sure that volunteers and staff are communicating regularly.

When asked why people want to volunteer with Burnaby Family Life, Camara said that people like to get involved because volunteering is valued here.Apart from being able to help young children and families, volunteering can realistically turn into paid work or a career. Camara herself is a good example of that.“When somebody is doing a great job and at the same time when there is a need, of course, we will consider the person who has been with us for a long time and is doing an awesome job before we consider a total stranger.”

What makes Burnaby Family Life unique is its diversity and the organization’s commitment to serving the needs of their clients.“Our number one priority is always the clients we are serving, the

VOLUNTEER BURNABY

families we are serving.” Everyone in the organization follows the five values that form the core of the organization: Learning, Integrity, Cooperation, Respect and Empowerment. By adhering to these values, volunteers and staff work together as a team, support each other and respect each other.“It’s like a big family. People feel proud about their work, and feel good about it” said Camara.

If you want to help families and young children, and work with people who come from literally all over the world who are highly committed

and enthusiastic, then volunteer with Burnaby Family Life. It can possibly turn into one of the most enriching experiences of your life.

Every study in the world has shown

OUR VIEW

We often take moms for granted and realize much too late how much they sacrificed and did for us when we were growing up. So, when a local teacher suggested that we look at his young students’ thoughts on why they have the best moms, we jumped at the chance. And we were not disappointed.

“I have the best mother in the whole universe. … She has taught me not to be selfish and share with others. It has helped me make new friends every

week.” one student writes. Another says, “I know you might be asking, what is the best present that she gave me. Well, she gave me my life, without her this document would’ve never been written. That is a big sacrifice in life you know.”

And if those sentiments don’t choke you up a little, turn to page 13 of today’s paper and get some more reminders of just how important moms are in some young people’s lives.

Every golden age has its dark side IN MY OPINION

I

Matthew Claxton

t truly is a golden age, a time that will be remembered fondly for decades.

Historians will write of these glory days, and bards will sing of their triumphs. Possibly with the aid of Autotune.

It’s the golden age of superhero movies. As a longtime comics reader (don’t ask how many boxes I have at home), I’m giddy about the release of The Avengers, after a multi-year buildup that started with the first Iron Man film.

There had been other superhero movies, and the Tim Burton Batman franchise made plenty of money, the Richard Donner Superman series is still well thought of.

But finally, with CGI and directors who could tell tales of spandex heroism with a straight face, we got superhero movies that were actually good.

Really, those Burton Batman films? If you want to really drive a comic book nerd into a redfaced, spittle-flecked rage, ask him how much he liked the idea of Batman machine gunning people from the Batmobile. (Jeez,

it’s like Burton didn’t take the idea of a millionaire playboy/ flying mammal-themed vigilante seriously or something!)

The first of the golden age of superhero movies was arguably the 2000 release of Bryan Singer’s X-Men, followed by its sequels and spin-offs, the parallel Spider-Man films that started in 2002, and Christopher Nolan’s new Batman movies.

Now, a lot of these films have ranged from so-so to awful (we’re looking at you, Fantastic Four movies!), but you have to take the bad with the good.

It’s always the golden age of something, and right now we’re living in the midst of several.

The golden age of the hourlong drama? Sure, it started sometime in the 1990s when HBO rose to prominence and started making The Sopranos and Oz and The Wire, and everyone else had to bring up their game to compete. With Breaking Bad and A Game of Thrones still airing, it’s far from over.

How about sitcoms?

Arguably, it started with I Love Lucy and has not yet ended.

The style seems to shift, though.

The 1970s gave us MASH and All in the Family, with political and social commentary, then the 1980s gave us cosy, politicsfree shows like Cheers and The Cosby Show. Seinfeld and Arrested Development brought cynical,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Teachers aren’t ‘ahead’ at all Dear Editor:

Re: Teachers should quit while they’re ahead, May 4.

Burnaby NOW’s Our View opinion article states that teachers should “quit while they’re ahead.”

As a teacher, I hardly think that teachers are “ahead” right now. Teachers are: ◆ fighting to protect classroom conditions that Bill 22 is proposing to remove; ◆ fighting to keep specialist jobs that help struggling kids (learning support, counsellors, librarians and more); ◆ fighting to keep basic bargaining rights; ◆ trying to mitigate the effects of many years of cuts to education programs and supports.

The editorial states that teachers are embroiled in a “political war” where it is “about politics and not about the kids.”

Actually, it is about the kids. This is where the media is getting the message wrong. Let me enlighten you if you haven’t yet been informed.

I love teaching my students. I love getting to know each individual personality and seeing each progress as the year goes by. I love making connections with them, celebrating successes and enjoying the journey together.

However, when the government wants to put in rules that take away from this special relationship, I get upset. This is what is really happening. The government wants to remove conditions that ensure a good learning environment for all kids, such as class Government Page 7

size limits. The government is doing this, despite the fact that when they removed class size limits before, the B.C. Supreme Court told them that they were illegal and unconstitutional in doing so. Yet in Bill 22, the government removes the strips, then reinstates them word for word.

Not only that, but the government is taking other things away as well. One of those things is called “autonomy,” which covers a lot, including the teacher’s right to choose what strategy is best for his/her students.

All teachers can testify that every class is different, year to year. You would think that they would all be the same, with the law of averages. However, this is not the case. Every class has a unique quality. I do not have any year that is “the same,” because my students’ varying personalities and ways of interacting affect that. And that is what I love about teaching … every year is new, despite teaching the same grade.

The kids make the difference.

This is why teachers are upset about the misrepresentation of the current job action in the media. We do love kids. We do love it when they have fun.

So the decision to withdraw the “extra” stuff is not done without heartache.

However, to sit back and let the government continue with its strips to public education would be to let the government continue to steal from our students’ future potentials.

So this is why the teachers are withdrawing from voluntary activities. Not because they want to hurt the kids, but because the government is doing so, yet no one seems to notice unless the teachers stand up and protest. Since walking out was not an option (with Bill 22’s punitive fines), this was the only way that teachers could make a point, without jeopardizing the students’ core education.

If teachers went to “business as usual”

after Bill 22 passed, would the public be aware of the issues still at stake?

We needed to get people’s attention. The government gave us no other choice.

Jennifer Heighton, Burnaby teacher

Win-win idea for schools

Dear Editor:

Re: No vacation is ‘cruel,’ Letters to the editor, Burnaby NOW, May 4.

Here we go again. Teacher concerned about the welfare of the students. Attending school 12 months of the year instead of the present 10? Taking away two months of summer vacation from them when they should be at the beach? Incarcerate them in a classroom watching pointless videos and filling repetitive work sheets? That is cruel!

But just a moment, something just struck me – doesn’t that mean that teachers would be subject to the same consequences? Now, that’s a barbaric thought .

I was trying to think what other job/ employer allows employees to have two months off in the summer, but nothing came to mind. Of course, in a perfect world that would be an ideal scenario; unfortunately, we don’t live in a perfect world.

I have no idea how much time is appropriate for children to have off during the year in order for them to lead healthy lifestyles (I’m not a psychologist), so I won’t go there. However, what I do think would be appropriate, is to have teachers teach classes 12 months of the year and, in a noncompulsory way, give those students who had difficulties learning during the school year a chance to attend the same. They could get that required time and attention that teachers were unable to give during the rest of the year because of class sizes or for whatever other reasons.

As well, teachers could use that time to discuss and prepare curriculums for the following year.

That sounds like a win-win situation.

dark comedy, and the current crop of great shows include Community and Parks and Recreation, shows that mix heart and absurdist, rapid-fire jokes.

It’s also the golden age of the young adult novel.

When I was a young adult, we had Choose Your Own Adventure novels, old bluespined Hardy Boys books written in the 1930s, and Sweet Valley High, all 2.97 million volumes of it.

These do not hold up well compared to Harry Potter or The Hunger

Games.

Other genres and art forms, however, are not doing well.

The last good time to be a big fan of innovative jazz was the early 1960s.

The soap opera is not likely to see any further artistic developments if it ceases to exist, as seems likely. The western genre produced everything from The Searchers to High Noon to The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. In recent years, we’ve seen few westerns, many of them remakes.

There are also areas

where I simply can’t tell.

If I don’t care for dubstep, how can I know if it’s a bold new musical genre, the next bebop or punk?

How do golden ages end? They end when the innovation and drive move elsewhere, and the art form dies, usually by being smothered by nostalgia.

But something new will come along to take its place, sooner or later.

School chair labels Fraser reports ‘drivel’ Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Burnaby school board chair Larry Hayes has come out against the Fraser Institute’s annual ranking of schools, calling the reports “drivel.”

“Once again, without any apparent concern for comprehensive research, the public of B.C. has been subjected to the drivel of the ranking of schools by the unproductive minds at the Fraser Institute,” Hayes said in his report at the May 8 school board meeting. “The ‘apples to oranges’ comparisons that are produced on an annual basis continue to overly simplify some very complex situations in our education system, and these rankings should continue to be treated as such.”

The Fraser Institute, a right-wing thinktank, ranks B.C.’s public and private schools, mainly based on provincewide test results. Private schools usually dominate the top spots. In Burnaby, schools with high numbers of refugee students, like Byrne Creek Secondary and Edmonds Elementary, tend to fare poorly. This year, Byrne Creek scored the lowest for Burnaby, and Edmonds, which has ranked low in the past, didn’t even make the rankings because there weren’t enough students writing the exams, so the Fraser Institute couldn’t include the school in the report.

Meanwhile, Byrne Creek Secondary recently received an international award – the ASCD Whole Child Award – for looking beyond academics and fostering students who are knowledgeable, emotionally and physically healthy, civically

active and prepared for the world beyond school.

Hayes criticized the Education Ministry for its “feeble” opposition to the Fraser Institute’s rankings.

“How much insight does it take for our (Education) Ministry masterminds to realize that being told that you’re ‘dumb and stupid,’ as is basically what’s being said to some of the more challenged schools in the province on a yearly basis, would certainly affect the confidence and morale that is such an important part of productive learning,” he said. “Thank goodness for weekly garbage day, because that’s where the Fraser Institute’s school rankings belong.”

The Fraser Institute’s Peter Cowley, author of the report, took issue with Hayes’ comments.

“In an age when critical thinking skills are considered essential for any adult, perhaps some constructive discussion and debate would set a better example for the students to whom Mr. Hayes is ultimately responsible,” Cowley wrote in an email to the NOW. “As the public school educated ‘unproductive mind’ responsible for the ‘drivel’ about which Mr. Hayes is so incensed, I would be pleased to meet with him to explain the actual intent and design of our report cards and to seriously discuss any constructive criticism he might have.”

Cowley offered to debate Hayes publicly, “anytime, anywhere” about the report cards’ benefits for students. “Let’s all be thoughtful and respectful in our discussions of education improvement,” he said. jmoreau@burnabynow.com

Traffic: New plans continued from page 9

that was one of the key failing points in what was done in the Heights scenario.”

The lessons of what worked and what didn’t in the Heights transportation planning process can be applied to all of Burnaby, Hnatiuk added.

“Ours is not a unique situation,” he said. “I think all residents face the same issue with rat-running, cutting through the neighbourhood.”

Peter Cech, another Heights resident who advocated for the safety of area residents during the consultations and to council, is glad the city is revisiting the traffic issues in the city.

“I’m thrilled that the mayor and council listened to the concerns of the residents of the Heights,” he said. “But the process that resulted was flawed, in my view, because it wasn’t comprehensive.”

He hopes a new citywide plan would make sure that traffic control interventions are more interconnected, so that traffic is kept on the main arterial roads, he said.

He intends to take part in any of the future consultations in the Heights area, he said, as he thinks the safety measures taken with the Heights plan were not effective enough.

But he is happy to see the city looking to address the problems on a larger scale, Cech added.

“I think it’s pretty remarkable that the city went to the length of even revisiting the traffic concerns in our community, and I think that speaks really well to how inclusive this mayor and council is of people’s opinions,” he added.

Burnaby is on the right track when it comes to the city’s design and traffic planning, according to Gordon Price, urban planner and director of the city program at Simon Fraser University.

“It just needs some tweaking,” he said of the city’s current transportation system.

“The best transportation plan is a land-use plan,” he added, saying that Burnaby’s focus on building denser, mixed-use city centres is a good start.

As Burnaby is between Vancouver and the rest of the Lower Mainland, there is not much that can be done to prevent traffic from travelling through the city, Price said.

But the city can make sure residents have a range of travel options aside from owning cars, he explained.

“Really there’s only one way to do it. You have to give people some other choices,” he said. “They should be able to take transit, and that transit shouldn’t be stuck in the traffic.”

City planning should include travel options such as cars, a frequent transit network, taxis and car sharing, cycling and walking, he said. www.twitter.com/janayafe

City MLA hopes inquest will prevent future deaths Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Burnaby MLA Raj Chouhan is hoping a coroner’s inquest into the deaths of three Langley mushroom farm workers will bring change to the industry so similar tragedies never happen again.

“What we have seen, and I heard today is it’s not just the lack of regulation. The problem is enforcement,” Chouhan said.

“In this particular farm, the workers who worked there mainly spoke Vietnamese.

It seems like they did not have any safety instructions provided to them in their own language.”

The B.C. Coroners Service is holding the public inquest in Burnaby, examining the deaths of Ut Tran, Han Pham, and Chi Wai (Jimmy) Chan, workers who died on a Langley mushroom farm in 2008 after they entered a pump house where toxic gases had accumulated. Chouhan, the NDP’s labour critic and a founder of the Canadian Farmworkers Union, is attending the inquest, which is expected to wrap up next week. “In my view, the Workers’ Compensation Board has to make sure all farms with confined spaces must be inspected on an annual basis, and if they do not pass the inspection, they should not be able to maintain their licence,” Chouhan said. “We have to show some seriousness here, or workers will continue to work in unsafe conditions that lead to other tragedies.”

The point of the inquest is not to assign blame but to hear evidence from subpoe-

naed witnesses to determine the facts surrounding the deaths. The jury can make recommendations to help prevent future deaths in similar circumstances.

“I want all these issues to be in front of the jury here so people know what steps were missed and what steps were taken and what more can be done in order to prevent this,” Chouhan said. “People don’t really understand the safety issue at workplaces, especially farms.”

At the inquest on Monday, two paramedics described a grim scene when they arrived at the farm. Lacking the equipment or training to handle toxic gases and confined spaces, they stood by helplessly, as the men succumbed to the deadly fumes. One of the paramedics treated a man in respiratory distress outside the shack, while the other peered inside and saw two men facedown in the water, another unconscious, and a fourth screaming for help, trying to hold up his coworkers. Chan, Pham and Tran died on the scene, while two others suffered brain injuries.

Chouhan described the tale as horrible.

“It’s so sad. You can’t stop having teary eyes, when you hear the family or see one of the workers, in a wheelchair for many years, who doesn’t know what’s going on,” he said. “It’s just really heart wrenching.

It’s so horrible.”

Once the inquest concludes, a report on the findings should be released within a month.

The best mothers in the world

H

ere’s to the mothers of the world.

They make sure we are fed, happy and warm. They take care of us when we are sick, pick us up when we fall and brush off our dusty knees. They comfort us in the middle of the night, they read and reread us bedtime stories, and according to a students at Twelfth Avenue Elementary, they buy a lot of games. With ON MY BEAT video Mother’s Day Jennifer Moreau approaching this Sunday, Derek Cockram’s Grade 4/5 students shared their thoughts on why they have the best mothers. From sushi chefs to account managers and homemakers, all of them are the best. ◆ I have the best mother!

My mother’s name is Pearl. She is beautiful; she is an accountant manager of Future Shop and Best Buy Canada.

What is the most important thing my mother has done for me? Easy, it’s that care and love that motivates me and keeps doing well.

She taught me everything I know, but the most important thing she has taught me was to be good.

I know you might be asking, what is the best present that she gave me. Well, she gave me my life, without her this document would’ve never been written. That is a big sacrifice in life you know.

The best time I spent with my mother is in London, U.K., EU and in Paris, France, EU. It was a wonderful time. I went with not only my mother, but with my dad and with my sister. We went there to visit. We were newcomers.

Nothing bad; Nothing unique; She’s just the best; And that’s what counts.

– Jarell ◆ My mom’s name is Nibool. My mom is pretty and looks like me. I think my mom is very brave because she flew all the way from Sudan to Egypt and to Canada. I also think my mom’s brave because she raised four children of her own and now has a happy life in Canada.

The best thing my mom has done for me is taking care of me.

The most important thing my mom has taught me is not to talk to strangers and to not give out any information. That has helped me because I’m still here in a wonderful world with my family My mom is really nice. The best present my mom has ever got me is a Little Lets Pet Shop electronic and a Nintendo DS. A Little Lets Pet Shop is like having a real pet that you have to bathe, feed and clean.

I love you Mom. – Awek ◆ I have the best mother in the whole universe. My mother is Jun. She is a sushi maker.

She has taught me not to be selfish and share with others. It has helped me make new friends every week.

We went in this really cool place that had all the clothes that famous people wore. It was really cool because for the first time I got to see the clothes they wore up close.

– Alisha ◆ My mother’s name is Jenny. She is a banker. She is 43. The thing that makes my mother special is that she was born in a very poor environment in China where three to four people stay in a room.

The most important thing my mother does for me is give me advice. It keeps me responsible. The most important thing that my mother has taught me is to value things. It taught me to not waste anything.

The best present my mother gave me is a Nintendo 3DS. It’s a video game console and you can play games on it. I feel thankful for it.

The best day I remember spending with my mother is going to Disneyland. It was in L.A. I was with my mom ,my dad, my grandpa and my grandma. I went on rides.

I have the best mother.

as me. She works as a casino worker, but someday she is going to be a phone agent. The important thing my mother does for me is she helps me with my homework and takes it so seriously and it helps me learn a lot. My mother gave me a present and it is my brother. My brother looks like a normal brother he is Grade 1 at Twelfth Avenue school. My brother makes me happy.

The important thing my mother taught me is how to use the Internet. It helps

me find amazing things.

The best day I spent with my mother was going and having a party at my Auntie’s birthday. It was at a restaurant and people I know were there.

I have the best mother.

-Nathan ◆ My mother’s name is Emy. She is a homemaker.

She was born in Indonesia and then in about 2003, she moved to Canada with my father and me. The most important thing she does for me is she prepares my lunch because if she

doesn’t I won’t have any lunch because I don’t have any time to prepare it.

The best present she has ever given to me was a Wii. I played it just about all the time and I wanted a Wii since I was small.

The best day I can remember spending with her is when our family went to the P.N.E. It was really fun. And I hope we can go there again.

I have the best mother.

Music Monday

Burnaby students from Inman, Kitchener and Cameron elementary schools spent Monday singing their little hearts out in concert with people across Canada.

Their choral efforts were part of Music Monday, an annual crosscountry event where students, teachers, parents and community members all sing a pre-chosen song

at the same time. This year’s commissioned song was called Tomorrow is Coming. The event is meant to highlight the importance of music education, and roughly 700 schools and organizations participated this year. Music Monday is organized by the Coalition for Music Education in Canada, a collection of more than 20 music education groups.

Little Mermaid

The Byrne Creek Theatre Company is presenting The Little Mermaid, based on the Disney version of Hans Christian Andersen’s popular fable.

The show is Wednesday, May 16, and tickets are $13 for general admission,

$10 for staff, and $9 for students. To reserve, call 604-664-8299. The theatre company is Byrne Creek Secondary’s student drama class. The school is at 7777 18th St., and the curtain rises at 7 p.m.

Happy 102!

Happy belated birthday to Burnaby’s Edna Tamkin, who turned 102 on April 23. The Normanna rest home resident was born in Nelson, B.C., in 1910 and is the third of 13 children. She was married for 48 years, raised two kids and spent much of her life as a homemaker. She’s also been involved with Queens Avenue Church in New Westminster. We’re told

she was a wonderful cook and an avid bowler, who loved watching baseball and soap operas.

“Edna is well-respected and loved at Normanna,” writes the rest home’s Leslie Torresan. “She has a feisty spirit and love for life and always joins in the daily activities.”

So here’s to Edna, and let’s hope we’re all lucky enough to make it to the ripe old age of 102.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS SAFETY WEEK: Canadians are encouraged to be prepared

Natural disasters may be beyond our control, but there are ways to reduce the risk and the impact of whatever emergency we might face - whether natural or humaninduced.

Emergency Preparedness Week (May 6 - 12, 2012) encourages Canadians to be prepared to cope

on their own, for at least the first 72 hours of an emergency while rescue workers help those in urgent need. Emergency Preparedness Week is a special week and a national and provincial effort of provincial of emergency management organizations, including Public Safety Canada.

By taking a few simple steps, we can become better prepared to face a range of emergencies – anytime, anywhere.

It is important to: • Make a detailed plan – It will help you and your family know what to do • Prepare an emergency

kit – During an emergency, we will all need some basic supplies. We may need to get by without power or tap water.

Be prepared to be self-sufficient for at least 72 hours in an emergency.

• Know the risks – Although the

consequences of disasters can be similar, knowing how the risks are specific to your community and your region can help you better prepare

Visit: www.GetPrepared.ca for more resources to help you and your family

prepare for all types of emergencies.

Experience has shown that individual preparedness goes a long way to help people cope better - both during and after a major disaster.

Get prepared - it can make a world of difference.

Prepare a “Grab and Go” Kit A Grab and Go Kit is a must have for your home, office and vehicle. It should contain supplies to see you through the next 12-24 hours. Personalize a grab ‘n go kit for each member of your family, including infants and pets. Store the supplies in a wheeled backpack so you can easily to carry other items, hold a child’s hand or assist someone else.

These kits should be readily available if you have to leave your car or premises quickly.

A grab ‘n go kit should contain: • an extra set of keys to your house and vehicles, safe deposit box, etc.; • copies of your identification papers (licenses, birth certificates, health cards); • copies of all insurance policies and the contact info for your insurance agent; • cash and banking information;

• flashlights with batteries; • AM/FM battery powered radio with batteries; • required medication and prescription drug information; • information and pet supplies if taking pets along;

• things to keep children busy; • some non-perishable food items; • bottled water; and • contact list: family, friends, doctors names and phone numbers For more information on getting prepared, visit burnaby.ca/getprepared.

MAY IS CNIB VISION HEALTH MONTH

ADVERTISING FEATURE

Seeing beyond vision loss

BY TAMARA TEDESCO

On a typical day, Brenda Knechtel, 54, might take care of her flower garden, browse online travel sites or carefully write cards to friends. But how she does these things is not so typical.

It wasn’t always this way for Brenda, a Coquitlam resident. As a child, she wore glasses and often visited her eye doctor.

But as an adult, she began to develop vision problems, including retinal detachment, and had to undergo 22 eye surgeries. The experience was hard.

“Losing your sight… is like grieving something,” she explains.

She was soon referred to CNIB (Canadian National Institute for the Blind), a charity that provides support to Canadians who are blind or partially sighted. She began attending the CNIB Vision Odyssey Group, a course that supports

“It’s CNIB that gave me the vision to be hopeful,” she says. “They taught me that I may not be able to do things the exact way I did previously, but I can still do them.”

Brenda also took other CNIB courses that taught her safe ways to cook, sew and organize her home. Her favourite CNIB service was the one-on-one assistive technology instruction that taught her how to use a computer in spite of her vision loss.

In British Columbia, less than 10 per cent of CNIB’s funding comes from provincial government sources, and CNIB relies on charitable donations to provide services at no cost to people who are blind or partially sighted.

“I told everybody,” she recalls, “‘I’m getting back on the computer!’”

To make a donation or learn more about how you can support CNIB programs and services in B.C., visit cnib.ca or call the toll-free CNIB Helpline at 1-800-563-2642.

With the help of screen-reading software that reads both what is on the screen and what she’s typing, Brenda now uses her laptop just like her sighted friends and family.

Have your eyes checked regularly Many serious eye conditions can be present without symptoms.

Early detection is key to ensure prompt diagnosis and treatment, so visit your Doctor of Optometry.

Never ignore changes to your vision.

P R O U D LY S U P P O R T E D B Y :

An avid traveller, Brenda does all of her travel planning online. An added benefit of researching her trips ahead of time is that it helps her better visualize her surroundings when sightseeing.

Whether she is off travelling the globe or at home with family and friends, Brenda credits CNIB as a big reason she’s able to enjoy life just as she did before she became blind.

Will gardenias grow well?

GREEN SCENE Anne Marrison

Question: We have moved to B.C. from Newfoundland, into a very small townhouse with a little area in front of our dining-room window.

I would like to plant two gardenias and a rose bush there and some low, colourful bushes in front to outline the bed itself. Would they grow well together and is now a good time to plant them?

Can you plant cuttings from an outside rose bush? If watered regularly, would they take root and grow?

– Beverly Warford, Ladner Answer: Yes, Beverley, this is a good time to plant most things.

A rose bush would be quite rugged and would fit well into your garden bed, but the hardiness of gardenias may be unpredictable here. The Kleims Hardy gardenia is said to have survived down to about 10 C. The Summer Snow gardenia is said to be zone 6

hardy (Ladner is somewhat warmer than that, probably 7B).

But every few years we have had a brutal winter here in B.C., where borderline-but-usually-hardy plants have perished. So they can be a gamble.

A long-flowering perennial to outline your bed might include the ornamental sage Purple Rain, or the white or pink-flowered Musk Mallow (Malva moschata).

Yes, Beverley, roses can be grown from cuttings, and, if watered regularly, some will grow. Chances are not all will grow, so take two or three times as many cuttings as you’ll need. August or September are the best months to do this because the rose stems have become somewhat mature by then. ◆ Question: Last year I planted hollyhocks, and the stem and leaves were covered with rust.

Also, my pretty pink mallow, which had been fine the last two years, also became covered in rust.

This year both plants have rust again. Should I discard them?

Is rust an airborne disease or is it an infection?

– Heidi, Port Coquitlam

Answer: The rust releases spores that over-winter in the ground and re-infest new growth as it comes through. But yes, the spores can also float through the air. Rust is the reason why fewer gardeners grow hollyhocks these days. But some varieties are said to be rust-resistant. The Antwerp Mixed seed variety is said to be very rust resistant.

But any hollyhocks can usually escape rust for most of their first year – and early-flowering varieties are now being developed. Fiesta Time, Spring Celebrity Mix and Summer Carnival are all said to be first-year flowerers when started early from seed.

Yes, you should garbage the rust-infested hollyhocks. Don’t compost them and don’t plant hollyhocks or mallows in the rust-prone spot for several years.

You may be able to save the mallow. Cut back and garbage every bit of new growth, wash all the soil off the roots then wash the roots again in 10 per cent bleach solution. Replant the mallow where rust has never been a problem.

Finding what’s important on Mother’s Day FAMILY TIES

T

Christina Myers

here’s two kinds of Mother’s Day – the fantasy kind and the real kind.

The fantasy version can be spotted in jewelry store commercials and soap operas. They involve breakfast in bed (complete with a big bouquet of spring flowers), some type of jewelry in a box topped with a big red bow, and freshly scrubbed children offering to do all the chores.

I’ve been told such things exist in real life, but much like the equally elusive “fantasy” Valentine’s Day, I’ve yet to see it with my own eyes. Around our house, Mother’s Day is a much simpler affair – if it’s an affair at all.

My first official Mother’s Day passed largely unnoticed until, in a bit of a snit while driving to a family dinner, I huffed to my loving but forgetful husband that he’d “missed the boat.”

His face fell.

“Oh,” he said. “Right.

Mother’s Day.” “Yes,” I replied, selfrighteous and cranky.

“My first one. The only first Mother’s Day I’ll ever have.”

I fumed, thinking of all those mothers out there getting big bouquets of flowers, breakfast in bed and fancy jewelry.

A few minutes later, he pulled over at a drug store and announced he was going in for some gum – he returned with some bubble bath, a cold drink and a new Winnie the Pooh hairbrush.

My first Mother’s Day gift.

Yes, that’s right – he bought me a cartoonthemed hair brush. It’s bright purple. I think it glows in the dark.

And as lame as it may sound, I love that damn thing.

Every time I look at it, I think of my husband trying to fix what he’d forgotten – and I’m reminded that he’s neither callous nor cold, but simply not so great at organization and planning.

He might tell me a dozen times in a month what a great mom I am

– then forget to do so on that all-important day in May. But what’s more valuable in life? Good and kind 365 days a year? Or great at spending money on a couple of special occasions? I’ll take the first, every time. (Mind you, there are those rare few individuals who seem to be good at both, but they too seem to be an elusive creature.)

Don’t get me wrong, it’s lovely to be celebrated, thanked and remembered, and as my kids get older, I hope they’ll mark the occasion in their own way. But when it comes right down to it, it’s not the “things” that make the day – it’s the family you get to spend it with.

Sound hokey and sentimental? Maybe, but it’s true.

In that vein, here’s a few ideas for ways to spend time, not a lot of money, with your family in Burnaby this Mother’s Day: ◆ With the weather shaping up to be dry and sunny, grab a few blankets and pack up a lunch (or pick up a takeout pizza) and hit one of the local parks. As any mom

Win-win! Check out Deer Lake, Confederation Park, Fraser Foreshore Park or even just your local neighbourhood spot. ◆ Avoid busy restaurants and long lineups: cook up a simple meal for dinner at home on Sunday, using ingredients you picked up

on Saturday at the weekly farmers’ market. The market starts at 9 a.m., in the city hall parking lot. ◆ Celebrate on Saturday by helping out some “kids” of another kind: the fishy kind.

10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the grounds of Stoney Creek Community School, 2740 Beaverbrook Cres.

Gift of life:

Scott Stefanek donating blood at Burnaby North Secondary on April 8 for Canadian Blood Services.

Jason Lang/ burnaby now

New blood donors wanted

Canadian Blood Services held a donation clinic at Burnaby North Secondary on the Easter long weekend. Only 73 people showed up, which left them 21 short of their 94-donor target.

“It’s very normal for a long weekend,” said Angela Poon from Canadian Blood Services. “By no means is this any reflection of having a low inventory or low

blood base. It just means we have to work that much harder to make up for it in the days and weeks following. Our inventory is still strong.”

However, Canadian Blood Services is always looking for more donors.

Call 1-888-236-6283 or visit www.blood. ca for more information or to book an appointment to donate.

Saturday, May 12, 2012 ! 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm Gather a group of friends and enjoy sips of wine, cider, coolers and beer, as you take pleasure in savouring the tempting offerings of local restaurants.

“After 12 treatments, I was healed!”

“I had laser therapy and all 12 treatments are 45 minutes each. Before therapy, I had constant pain in the knee for approximately 18 months. Sometimes it caused a lot of trouble walking, especially going down the stairs. After 12 treatments, I was healed! Now I just do a follow-up treatment once a month and I can go up and down the stairs, pain free.”

Safe strength training good for adolescents KEEPING FIT Shaun Karp

W

e all know how important it is to stay active and be fit, even at a young age.

There are plenty of opportunities for teenagers to get out there and exercise – joining sports or dance teams, walking to school, or participating in seasonal sports like snowboarding or beach volleyball, for example.

But what happens when an adolescent wants to take their fitness to the next level and begin strength training? The thought of their teenage child lifting weights some-

times worries parents, but it doesn’t have to.

Strength training is actually a common component of physical fitness programs for adolescents and is common practice in sports in which size and strength are desirable.

Strength-training programs can improve sport performance and prevent injuries. But it is important to make sure they, and anyone new to strength training, are supervised to ensure proper form and technique.

When adolescents start a strength-training program, they should begin with low-resistance exercises until proper technique is learned.

When 10 to 12 repetitions can be performed with good technique, it is reasonable to add weight in small increments.

However, it is very

One-man team

important to make sure not too much weight is added at once, or there is a risk of injury.

Exercises should include all of the muscle groups and be performed through the full range of motion at each joint.

Before any adolescent begins a strength-training program, it is a good idea for them to see a physician for a medical evaluation to identify any possible risk factors for injury. That being said, injuries related to skeletally immature individuals are uncommon and believed to be largely preventable by avoiding improper lifting techniques, maximal lifts and improperly supervised lifts.

CLICK & CLACK TALK CARS Ray & Tom Magliozzi

Dear Tom and Ray: I never would have imagined that my automotive life would be interesting enough to merit communicating with you guys, but 20 or so years after first discovering you, I think I have an experience worth sharing.

Actually, it’s my wife’s experience, but she has no idea who you guys are, so I get to do the honours.

My wife drives a 2003 VW Passat GLX 4Motion Wagon with just over 47,000 miles on it. She took it to a local dealer for service last May after smoke began billowing from the right side of the car and sweet-smelling

liquid was dripping out. The dealer replaced the heater core and coolant bottle, and all was well … until the next warm day, when my wife noted that her air conditioning (which had worked prior to the heater-core replacement) would not blow cold air. The dealer admitted that they had not properly shoved some hose in some opening, and they fixed it at no charge.

A few days later, while my wife was chauffeuring her elderly mother around, her steering completely failed.

This happened as she was changing lanes, so when the steering failed, she was pointing directly into oncoming traffic. She managed to stop the car before colliding with any of the oncoming cars as she crossed the centre line.

When the police arrived and interviewed the parties, they noted a threaded bolt, about 1.5 inches long, lying on the driver’s floor mat.

T

he Infiniti G Coupe has always been a great looking vehicle, and its design appears to be “just right” in terms of being fashionable, trendy and yet understated at the same time.

The Infiniti G also comes in sedan and convertible versions, and its drive power goes to the rear or all four wheels. All versions share the same basic chassis, have similar exterior dimensions and an identical wheelbase, yet body styling and interiors are unique to each model configuration.

The Coupe edition is particularly attractive and is available in reardrive, all-wheel drive and three levels of sportiness, Premium, Sport and IPL. An acronym for Infiniti Performance Line, the IPL Coupe pulls an extra 18 horsepower out of the V6 engine and adds a more aggressive exhaust note and a firmer suspension that provides even crisper handling.

Interestingly, Infiniti groups rear-drive with its manual transmission and all-wheel-drive with its seven-speed automatic, unless you buy an IPL, which only comes in reardrive. Our test car was a G37 XS. The “X” indicates all-wheel drive and “S” stands for sport, so it came with an automatic transmission. It’s also about as far down the performance road as most buyers will probably dare to venture, as it still retains a reasonable level of ride comfort.

New standard features on all 2012 models include a RearView Monitor, an eight-way power passenger seat and a new centre console design on automatic transmission-equipped models. An advanced climate control system (ACCS) with Plasmacluster air purifier has also been added to an optional Technology Package.

The Looks

The G Coupe is a very attractive automobile from just about any angle. Its curvaceous body gently bows over the engine and front wheels, has sweeping side-view character

lines and impressively tight panel gap lines.

Up front, Infiniti’s signature double-arch grill is flanked by stylized Lshape bi-xenon headlight assemblies. In the rear, the G Coupe has broad flanks with large (L-shaped) LED tail lights. That rear spoiler comes with the sport models and reduces rear lift at high speed. Chrome-tipped dual exhaust outlets are a nice finishing touch.

The Sport package adds a unique front fascia, special side sills and 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheels with performance tires.

The Inside

A snug-fitting wraparound cockpit greets the G Coupe driver. On first entry, our initial impression of the cabin was that it’s a bit too confining.

After making our personal adjustments and sinking into its glovelike fit, however, it transformed into a secure and comfy experience.

A unique feature of the dash is its instrument panel pod that moves in unison with the adjustable steering column, so that the driver always has an unobstructed view of the gauges.

The multitude of seat adjustments included power side bolsters on both the seatback and the seat cushion. However, these side-mounted controls are awkwardly positioned. A personal favourite was the seat cushion front extension that provides additional tight support. Head room, however, was only just about sufficient and could be an issue for tall drivers.

While the rear seats look inviting, head room is much more restrictive for the G Coupe’s rear occupants, due to the steep slope of the back window.

Automated power controls on both sides of the front passenger seat make entry and exits from the rear easier. On a slope, however, the large doors can overcome the springloaded stop, and they tend to swing back to close.

The Drive

There’s a performance edge and devilish tone to the exhaust of the G37 that separates it from its more sedate luxury-class Infiniti Page 46

New look

The design of the Infiniti G Coupe is just right: fashionable, trendy and understated.

Infiniti: G37 Coupe combines style, performance and all-around luxury continued from page 45

counterparts. It’s a complete package, too, that starts with a front-midship chassis, which centres heavy drivetrain components between the axles, for better handling characteristics. At its performance core is the 3.7-litre VQ-series engine with Variable Valve Event and Lift (VVEL),

which can spin to 7,500 rpm before the tachometer turns red. The VVEL system is a mix of hydraulically controlled valve timing and electronically controlled intake valves – a level of technical sophistication that’s amazing for those of us who worked on old cable-operated carburetor engines. Next in line is

Mechanic: Safety issue was dealer’s mistake continued from page 43

my wife was very shaken, and she refuses to drive her car ever again. The car ultimately was towed to the dealer, and we have a rental (paid for by the dealer) sitting in our garage. The dealer called this week and acknowledged that they were negligent and did not tighten down a bolt in the clockspring to VW specs.

They swear it’s fixed. Should we believe them?

–Robert TOM: Well, we have to give them credit for owning up to their mistakes, Robert.

RAY: But that doesn’t nearly make up for the debit we have to take for them being careless morons.

TOM: Here’s my reconstruction of what probably happened. When your wife went in for the heater core, they had to take off the dashboard, which is a big job. That required removing the steering wheel and lowering the steering column.

RAY: While they were replacing the heater core, they created a leak in the AC evaporator. That’s what caused the AC to fail.

TOM: When you brought it back, they forced the guy who had replaced the heater core to take apart the dashboard again and fix the AC problem he caused. I’m guessing he was none too happy about this, since they probably made him do it on his own time for no pay.

RAY So he was cheesed off, zipping the bolts off with his air gun, grousing about having to do the job again, and working quickly and carelessly.

And he forgot to tighten something crucial.

I doubt it was the clockspring, since that doesn’t hold anything on. I think more likely it was the nut that holds the steering wheel to the steering col-

umn. But regardless, this guy was eager to be done with you – and he almost was!

TOM: The question is, is it fixed now? I’d say it probably is. But here’s what I’d do: I’d send the general manager of the dealership a certified letter, reminding him of the sequence of events, and that your wife was almost killed due to their negligence. And then I would insist that he have a senior mechanic (not the guy who left the nut loose) inspect the entire car and have the dealership certify to you in writing that it’s now safe to drive.

RAY: By doing this, you’re letting them know that, should anything else go wrong and be traceable to any work they did, they will be held legally responsible for any death, dismemberment or temporary loss of bladder control that occurs in the future. They should take that very seriously and inspect the car carefully.

TOM: That still may not be enough to soothe your wife’s concerns. In which case you’ll have to drive the car for a few months and allow your wife to see that there are no further incidents (I’d up the value of your life insurance before doing that, just in case).

RAY: And you have to accept the possibility that your wife may never feel safe driving this car again. She may just opt to keep your new Porsche Cayenne Turbo and make you the new owner of an ‘03 Passat Wagon.

Congratulations, Robert!

an electronically controlled seven-speed automatic transmission. Again the level of sophistication is astounding. It adapts to your personal driving style, has an auto sport mode for spirited driving and a manual mode that can be operated with solid magnesium steering wheel mounted paddle shifters (Sport edi-

tion). Its top overdrive gears also contribute to the G37’s impressively low highway fuel consumption.

Power to the wheels of my test G 37 Coupe went via an all-wheel-drive system called ATTESA E-TS. It’s a mouthful of an acronym that stands for “Advanced Total Traction Engineering System for All Electronic

Torque Split.” What’s different about this system is that it allows the G Coupe to operate like a rear-drive car in normal driving conditions. An active torque distribution management system instantly kicks into action when wheel slip is recognized and can redirect up to 50 per cent of drive power to the front wheels.

Our tester also came with Intelligent Cruise Control. Laser sensors are used to identify and maintain a set distance from the vehicle ahead.

The Score

Good to look at and great to drive, the Infiniti G37 Coupe is a special automobile.

“Being a private school, we knew we’d have a program. It was just a question mark whether the public schools would play or not,” said Gatto.

But last month when the teachers voted to withdraw from extracurricu-

The decision came as a surprise to the STM team.

Breakout game for RNH at worlds Burnaby’s Ryan NugentHopkins scored his first goal at the International Ice Hockey Federation world championships in a 7-2 win over France on Monday.

The Edmonton Oilers rookie centre opened the scoring for Canada at 1:59 of the first period after being partnered on a line with Patrick Sharpe and Jamie Benn.

The new line showed a lot of hop against France, factoring in on five of the team’s goals, including the first four tallies, all of which came in the opening period in Finland.

Nugent-Hopkins, the No. 1 overall pick in last year’s NHL draft, picked up an assist on the power play on Canada’s second goal of the game by Sharpe.

The 18-year-old NugentHopkins also potted his second goal of the game in the third period.

The win over France came after last Saturday’s 5-4 overtime loss to the United States.

On Wednesday, Canada improved to 3-1 in preliminary round play with a 3-2 win over Switzerland.

Canada took on host Finland on Friday (after NOW deadlines).

The world championships continue through next week with quarterfinal action beginning Thursday, May 17.

Burnaby Lake women win first Division 2 rugby title Tom Berridge

sports editor

The underdog Burnaby Lake women’s rugby team pulled off a Cinderella finish in the Division 2 provincial final.

Burnaby Lake, the lowest seeded team heading into the playoffs with a 2-6 record, denied the Vancouver Meraloma its first women’s trophy in more than a decade following a 39-27 victory on Saturday to win its first-ever Ged Griffiths Cup in the Division 2 women’s provincial final at Klahanie Park on May 5.

Burnaby Lake allowed Loma scrum half Ciara Malone space to scamper in for the game-opening

try, but countered to take a 15-10 lead into halftime.

“We knew the Meralomas would come out hard and they did,” said Burnaby Lake head coach Ian Trevor. “Our forwards came up with a great effort, and we were able to feed off that to build a two-score lead. Once we had that buffer it was tough for the Meralomas to come back, and we were able to hold on for the win.”

The double blue played to its strengths, using its superior size to carry the play in the second half, outscoring the Vancouver side five tries to three.

Defensively, Burnaby keyed on Malone, limiting the Loma pivot’s

opportunities.

Three Burnaby Lake players crossed the line for a pair of tries, including Nancy Radman, Kathleen Grudzinski and Alya Govorchin.

Tiana Coutts also talled a fivepointer for the winners, while Rebecca Querido added a pair of three-point penalty goals.

“This is a young squad, the average age of our tight five is 17, and we have two high school players in the backs, not to mention one player who has played fewer than 10 games of rugby in total. While we do have some experienced players, this is quite Rugby Page 52

“We are just allowing teams which are still playing to meet and compete at a high level,” said STM coach Joe Thierman.

“We’re not trying to replace the provincials. It’s open zone.”

Both tournaments would be 36-hole affairs and run on the same May

26 and 27 weekend, allowing AA, AAA and single A schools to compete against each other.

Four schools were already confirmed at Osoyoos, but Thierman said the best fit for the Knights is the Shawnigan Lake invitational competition in Victoria, which is open to all schools.

“We’re keeping our fingers crossed,” Thierman said.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Aries March 21 - April 19: Continue to chase money – this entire week might build to a financial climax (Friday/Saturday) that favours you – there might even be a pay raise or you might sell a big item (or buy one). All’s good, so proceed. This is a smooth, easy week. Retreat, rest and contemplate Sunday to Tuesday afternoon. Your energy and charisma return this evening through Thursday – start important projects, follow through with earlier plans, seek favours, call people. Whether you’re aware of it or not, you and a VIP might soon shake hands over something. Continue the hard work.

Taurus April 20-May 20: Your energy and clout are at a yearly high. Life is expanding, but also changing. Some of you are being or have been “set free” – from a job, a duty, a marriage – in order to find new settings and new adventures. This freedom might be painful, but it is very likely fortunate for you in the long run. You might not believe me in late 2012 through 2013, as another factor indicates you will be living through the consequences of all your not-so-good actions of the last 18 years. But that’s then – for now, celebrate, as luck and ease fill this week. Wish fulfillment Sunday/ Monday!

Gemini May 21-June 20: This is your last week of rest and low energy. By May 20, you’ll be starting a high-energy month, which introduces an entire year of better luck, travel, marriage prospects, lucrative partnerships, even potential fame. Before then, you have to make it through the present interval of low energy – which should be a snap, as this is an easy, smooth week. Be ambitious Sunday/Monday: you could land an assignment. Midweek brings friends, a rising heart. Chase governments, institutions, charity, spirituality, therapy and research Friday/ Saturday – a civil servant likes you.

Cancer June 21-July 22: This fine, easy week starts with a beautiful, mellow and wise mood, Sunday to Tuesday afternoon. Your relationship with a Virgo or Gemini – or with a partner – flows successfully. Communication helps. Midweek brings ambition (or pressure from the boss). Again, a partner might help.Thursday eve through Saturday intensifies this week’s main note: social delights, entertainment, wish fulfillment, popularity and group affairs. All week, two broad areas seem favoured: relationships (opportunities, negotiations, love, relocation) and career (prestige, worldly standing). Go ahead!

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Chase your ambitions during this smooth, productive week (especially Friday/ Saturday, when a new project might begin). (Bosses approve of your wide viewpoint and your legal, financial and security insights these same two days.)

Friends accumulate – and old friends from the past will begin appearing soon. Life’s depths, financial opportunities, sexual urges, health diagnoses, research and lifestyle changes face you Sunday to Tuesday afternoon – charge after what you want.

Midweek’s mellow, wise, gently loving – however, your ideas or generosity might meet reluctance by another.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: You can simply enjoy this mellow, smooth week and float along, or you can use the calm waters to sail ahead on your favourite projects. It’s a superb time to expend effort – you’ll be pleased, and your life strengthened, by the results. Relationships are prime Sunday to afternoon Tuesday. Exciting meetings, opportunities, relocation themes, even love, enter the picture in lucky ways.

Midweek is for mysteries, depths, investments, debtreduction, and sexual urges. Be conservative. Far travel, cultural, intellectual, legal and international affairs succeed splendidly Friday/Saturday.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: This is your last week of secrecy, sexual temptations, research, large financial actions and possible health concerns. These areas appear headed for success, easy progress – at the very least, healing. You might have made a substantial commitment or investment recently, or might this week. Go ahead – this is where your good fortune lies. Sunday to Tuesday afternoon brings chores, mild health concerns. Midweek’s for exciting meetings, new horizons, new opportunities – and negotiations.

Friday/Saturday bring the last four weeks to a climax: embrace everything in the first sentence!

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Relationships open doors to new vistas and opportunities this week, especially Friday/Saturday. (Late May to mid2013 will feature financial, intimate and lifestyle “opportunities to commit” based on who/what you meet/agree upon, this week [and the last 50].) In other words, the meeting, the open doors appear now (and have, recently) but the commitment, the funding, will come late May onward. (Be cautious with commitment through August.) Romance, creative surges, even true love can arise Sunday to Tuesday. Tackle chores midweek. Friday/Saturday – the world! Be diplomatic, eager.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: This is your last week of chores, and an easy week it is. (However, the last year has brought an increase in work duties; and this Friday/Saturday might start a new job/project that will last to mid-June.) Be home, or attend to children, family, gardening, security, retirement, nurturing and similar themes, Sunday to Tuesday afternoon.

Romance calls midweek – so do pleasure, creativity and a speculative risk. Go slow. Late week, as mentioned, brings new chores. All week – and all the 13 months ahead – bring affection, generosity from others. Don’t “join” before September.

May 13 - 19, 2012 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Romance, love, charming kids, beauty, pleasure, creative surges and speculative joys last one more week before a large work load arrives. So enjoy yourself during this easy, happy week. Short trips, errands, casual friends, communications and paperwork fill Sunday to Tuesday afternoon. Midweek’s for rest, home, family, real estate, security, retirement, gardening and similar interests. Go slow, realize someone ultimately isn’t on board. (And that someone might be you.)

Friday/Saturday intensify everything listed in the first sentence of this message – in a lucky way!

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Chase money (or spend) Sunday/Monday – luck is with you. (But don’t “push” an investment Sunday – if you can’t meet on a price/ value, just leave it.) All this week you’re concerned with home values, real estate, family, security and retirement – Sunday/Monday and Friday Saturday are great times to buy or sell a home. Friday/Saturday are perfect for finding the home you want – or for ending a futile relationship or a wasteful project.

Midweek (Tuesday eve through Thursday) brings travel, errands, paperwork and casual friends. An old flame or former love prospect will soon appear.

Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: This is your last week of errands, communications, short travel, paperwork and daily details. These come in a whirlwind Friday/ Saturday. It’s an easy week.Your energy and charisma score high Sunday to afternoon Tuesday – start something important (except in home, real estate) or impress someone. Chase money midweek, but go slowly with purchases. (Best time, especially for technical or health products: 9:15 a.m. PDT onward, Wednesday.)Your home and family are sweet: luck either comes swiftly here, or eludes you. If the latter, walk away: better stuff awaits September onward. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 604-727-3673
