CONSERVATIVE PARTY

‘Dissidents’ battle on Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

A longtime Burnaby resident and devoted Conservative is at the heart of an internal squabble that could threaten the future of the B.C. Conservative Party – and she’s not about to back down. Ariane Eckardt, president of the Burnaby North constituency association for the B.C. Conservatives, and her Surrey-Whiterock counterpart, Allison Patton, are two of the figures calling for the party’s leader, John to resign.

Residents united against pipeline proposal Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Roughly 250 people packed Confederation Seniors’ Centre Wednesday night for the first public town hall meeting organized by a Burnaby residents’ group opposing Kinder Morgan’s pipeline expansion plan.

Speakers talked of widespread public opposition to the expansion and recounted their experiences with Kinder Morgan’s 2007 pipeline rupture that sprayed local homes with oil. Rueben George of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation opened the meeting, talking about the importance of protecting the environment for future generations.

“It’s not just a First Nations problem,” he said. “It’s all of our problem.” Local resident Mary Hatch told the crowd of her experience with the 2007 pipeline rupture. The Inlet Drive resident did not know her home was next to the pipeline until it broke and sprayed her home and car with crude. “That was a traumatic time for our com-

‘It’s an interesting sensory experience’

or Judy Larush, the world looks like an impressionist painting. Like a Monet or Renoir, colours blur together and shapes have soft edges. “There are no details, but it’s very beautiful,” she said. “It’s an interesting sensory experience.” Five years ago, Larush was diagON MY BEAT nosed with agerelated macular Marelle Reid degeneration, a disease that causes slow vision loss. Today, she has only about 10 per cent of her vision in each eye. “Frankly, I didn’t really know what macular degeneration was,” she said. “I thought of it as something I might have to worry about when I was 75 or 85. So to get the news at 55 was absolutely a shock.” The disease causes damage to the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for seeing fine details, such as reading print or seeing faces. People who have it experience blurred central vision and a growing central blind spot. In 90 per cent of all cases, vision loss occurs slowly, usually over a number of years, and the condition may cause few or no symptoms until it’s more advanced. As a customs officer for Canada Post, Larush had intended to retire at the end of next August, but when her eyes could no longer handle the strain of her job earlier this year, she was forced to work her last shift in May. In light of the recent Age-Related Macular Degeneration Awareness Week, Larush wants people to know what they can do to prevent vision loss. The most important thing, she suggested, is to maintain a regular check-up schedule with an eye specialist. “If things are starting to get a little bit fuzzy, for heaven’s sakes, go,” she said. “You could have glaucoma and lose your sight completely, just for want of going for a check-up.” Dr. Keith Gordon, vice-president of Research for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, confirms Larush has the right idea. “Early diagnosis is extremely important to prevent vision loss,” he said. “Especially if you’re over 50, you really

No warning: Judy Larush was shocked to learn, at age 55, that she has age-related macular degeneration. The Burnaby

resident wants people to know how they can prevent this and other types of eye disease. need to be getting your eyes examined on a regular basis. New treatments for AMD are quite effective, but the earlier the disease can be diagnosed, the better the outcomes.” Othere preventative measures include not smoking, eating a diet rich in leafy greens and omega-3 fatty acids, wearing sunglasses and exercising regularly, according to the CNIB. Though there’s no cure for her vision loss, Larush hasn’t let her diagnosis slow her down. She still goes to the gym regularly, attends social and community events and recently found a new ballroom dance partner. Most of her travels have been within the last five years, since her diagnosis.

“When I was first diagnosed, I thought, there’s so many beautiful things in the world, I have to see them before it’s too late,” she said. Having always been passionate about the visual arts, Larush took off to Europe to take in the cultural experiences there, making a point to visit world-class galleries in Greece, Italy, France, England and also New York City. This year she is planning a couple of months in Mexico, which she plans to continue to visit no matter what level of vision she retains. “Even if I can’t see anymore, I’ll enjoy the warm sand under my toes and fresh papayas,” she said. Larush said she can get around “quite well,” especially having had a volunteer

from the CNIB help her figure out the best routes to take on a regular basis in her neighbourhood. She has also learned how to use a computer program that allows her to interact using her voice rather than having to read the screen. Clearly one to always look on the bright side, Larush suggested her situation is not as bad as it could be. “Macular degeneration is an ugly thing, but you know what? It doesn’t hurt,” she said. “And a lot of people age and end up with things that cause them pain every minute of every day, and this is not one of them.” For more information about the CNIB, or about living with vision loss, visit www.cnib.ca.

MP blasted for spending Thanksgiving with Lennikov Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

While many families celebrated Thanksgiving dinner at home, ex-KGB agent Mikhail Lennikov 6

spent the holiday in Vancouver’s First Lutheran Church, avoiding deportation. The former Burnaby resident is now in his third year of church sanctuary.

Lennikov: Former KGB agent still living in church sanctuary continued from page 3

2009,” Davies wrote on his website. Lennikov first came to Canada on a student visa in 1997, but Canadian immigration law states that members of an organization that spied on a democratic government are not allowed to stay, unless the public safety minister deems they are not detrimental to national security. Lennikov and his supporters have argued he’s not a threat, but the government has not budged on its position that he’s inadmissible. The Ukrainian Canadian Civil Liberties Association, which has lobbied the government to forcibly remove Lennikov from church sanctuary, spoke out against the Thanksgiving dinner. “Millions of Ukrainians and other east Europeans now living in Canada were victims of the KGB,” wrote the association’s Lubomyr Luciuk in an email to the NOW. “We find it reprehensible that Mr. Julian and Mr. Davies would sup with a fugitive who is openly flaunting the rule of law in this country.” Lennikov and Julian declined to comment. However, Davies told the NOW about 75 people from the community came to the dinner, and Lennikov’s family was in good spirits. “They are just lovely people under very difficult circumstances,” he said. “I

think they appreciated the support of the broader community.” Davies said Lennikov was a lowranking official in the KGB, performing bureaucratic work, and there’s no evidence that he’s harmed anyone. “I’ve been working with Mikhail Lennikov for the last four years, and I don’t think I could find a better candidate for Canadian citizenship than Mikhail,” Davies said, adding the family is involved in the community, they speak English, and they are people of great integrity. “They are exactly the kind of people Canadians would want to welcome to our country.” Davies said he understands Luciuk’s deep feelings about the historic oppression Ukrainians may have faced at the hands of the Russians. “But I think it’s completely unjust, totally illogical and unacceptable for (Luciuk) to use someone like Mikhail Lennikov as a pawn in those historical politics,” he said. Davies said if the public safety minister thinks Lennikov is a threat to national interests, he should provide evidence to support that position. “They can’t provide us an iota of evidence,” he said. “We want a system that’s evidence-based, not based on guilt by association.”

that Cummins wasn’t going to share his limelight with anyone. And he didn’t seem to care if the Johnny Come Latelys quit over it. Now, most leaders are supposed to at least give the impression that they value members’ input – no matter what they believe or do behind closed doors. But, to give him some credit, Cummins appears to take the same dim view of dissidents in public as he does behind closed doors. Will charges of voting irregularities in his leadership race shake his hold on the party? We doubt it. The anti-Cummins’

team want him to resign – he wants them to leave or toe the line. It’s a Mexican standoff, for sure. But there’s a venerable tradition in B.C. of attacking one’s leader. Usually the attacks increase in intensity as leaders appear closer to actually obtaining power. The stakes are so much higher at that point. But these attacks may just send the Conservatives back to the ‘amusing’ sideshow category in B.C. politics. But, perhaps, the next tune Cummins will hear is, Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye?

The cost of religion behind prison bars EDITOR’S LETTER Pat Tracy

don’t know how important religion is to people in prison. I suspect it depends on a multitude of things. For some, religion might have been what held together a fragile home life. For others it may have been an oppressive force in an already frightening existence. For still others, faith in God might never have entered their minds until they were facing a 20-year sentence for a crime they wished they hadn’t committed. In any case, some might be thinking about faith this week after the federal Conservatives announced they were going to cut chaplain services in prisons. The cancellation of the programs will, according to the CBC, remove all the part-time chaplains, leaving about 80 full-time chaplains. Whether intended or not, this will leave only one Christian chaplain. The government stumbled upon this when a Wiccan in B.C. was going to be hired as a prison chaplain. (Yes, of course,

we can hear the chuckles now, “only in B.C.”) Needless to say, the minister in charge did not believe a Wiccan chaplain should be on the taxpayers’ tab, and he immediately suspended the hiring plan and ordered a review of the whole program. Good for him. While the Wiccan may have triggered the review, a review was certainly in order. The changes, which will happen in 2013, translate to a $1.6 million savings – not a lot in government budgets. But to the average taxpayer, it’s certainly worth saving. Of course, the first media coverage of the cuts gave the clear impression that other faiths were being targeted and only Christian chaplains protected. It was, of course, not that simple. But, understandably, given religion’s emotional side, there were a lot of suggestions that the Conservatives were galloping along on a pre-ordained plan to make Canada a truly Christian country. I suspect human rights and constitutional lawyers are poring over law books wondering if there’s a high-profile case to be made here. I also suspect that the federal government will have to review how it’s hiring full-time chaplains and make a concerted

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Rumble a problem for decades

Dear Editor:

Re: Rumble repairs delayed, Burnaby NOW, Oct.

I read with interest, the article about the condition of sidewalks along Rumble Street. Having lived in our home for more than 34 years, I strongly support the concerns of neighbour Nia Furtado, but must add many years to the duration of the issue. I spent several years in the 1990s as a traffic and safety advocate, trying to secure safe walkways along Rumble – the major commuter route for the pedestrians as well as students walking to both Suncrest and Burnaby South. Eventually, I was able to convince the city to put in “interim paved walkways” on the north

side of Rumble from Joffre to McKay avenues, where there had been no sidewalks. Now 15 to 20 years later, those “interim” northside sidewalks, as well as the poorly maintained south-side walkways, continue to be the only area for pedestrians to use. In those years, the no left turn from Griffiths Drive to Rumble has been removed, and very aggressive construction throughout south Burnaby has significantly increased the traffic (and accidents) on both Rumble and Patterson Avenue. Currently, massive development is starting at Station Square with an obvious traffic increase. The residents of South Burnaby surely deserve to have a safe and easily walkable route along Rumble. We have waited long enough. Diana Mumford, Burnaby

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Where’s the money? Dear Editor:

Re: Rumble repairs delayed, Burnaby NOW, Oct. 3. I am glad to see Ms. Furtado is speaking out about the state of our sidewalks in the city. In my neighbourhood, Burris and Sixth Street, sidewalks end, leaving pedestrians, cars and bikes to share a two-lane, 90-degree corner. Pedestrians have no choice but to walk on the road, in the direct path of vehicles. The City of Burnaby had no problem putting a very large and no doubt expensive bike path at that corner but does not seem to care enough about pedestrian safety to put sidewalks around the corner. I note that the city owns the land on both sides of the corner as well. Our council loves to remind us of how wealthy Burnaby is, so perhaps our council will see fit to put some of that money back into Burnaby, making it a safer and nicer place to live. Or they could just spend the money on another visit to one of our sister cities half way around the world instead.

be increased tanker traffic in the Burrard Inlet, possibly requiring a dredging of the inlet. The environmental costs of such a dredging, and the continual potential for a spill in or around Burnaby waters and land is too much of a burden for a dozen or so permanent jobs. Those of us who live in the neighbourhood of the last leak will never forget how awful the pipeline was when it was only pumping 300,000 barrels a day. More than doubling the capacity is going to present more of an environmental risk than Kinder Morgan is willing to admit, and I’m grateful to the mayor and council for standing up for Burnaby residents and opposing this pipeline expansion. When will Kinder Morgan start explaining and answering questions? Citizens still have no idea what Mr. Anderson’s spill cleanup plan is, or if that was just stated to alleviate concerns. What about dredging the Inlet? Who pays for that, and who deals with the environmental impact from species displacement? Too many questions and no answers, say no to Kinder Morgan. Trevor Ritchie, Burnaby

Keith Bemister, Burnaby

Too many questions

No parking fees, please

Re: City gets risks, few benefits, Burnaby NOW, Oct. 5. The more people who become part of the campaign to stop Kinder Morgan’s TransMountain pipeline expansion, the more willing we all seem to be to speak truth to power. Mayor Corrigan is right when he says Burnaby is going to be left with extreme risks and very few benefits from the project. In addition to having the pipeline capacity more than double, there will also

I have recently had occasion to visit the Burnaby Hospital emergency ward. There is a sign there that states “Patients please do not eat or drink until the doctor has seen you.” This allows you to pay $4.50 per hour for parking while you starve to death. Outrageous. Seriously, no one should have to pay to park at a hospital, no one other than the staff really wants to be there.

effort to represent the major faiths. But, honestly, wouldn’t it be better to spend this money on victim services instead? The total program costs about $6.4 million. That could buy a lot of nonreligious counselling. I’m sure supporters will argue that chaplains who offer counselling and

faith can play a big part in rehabilitation. They could very well be right. But should taxpayers be paying for religious services, however well intentioned, for prisoners? Personally, I’d rather see religious folks doing voluntary work in prisons. It strikes me as a better example for prisoners, and, dare I say, a more

“Christian” thing to do. Surely, freedom of religion doesn’t extend to taxpayers having to pay for religious services in prison. Or does it? Pat Tracy is the editor of the Burnaby NOW newspaper. Follow her on Twitter at www.twitter.com/PatTracy or email at editorial@burnabynow.com.

BROKE: Group considers second town hall meet continued from page 1

Canada, explaining that the company was intending to twin the current pipeline, which runs oil from Alberta to B.C., and more than double shipping capacity. Stewart said he raised the issue with his constituents, conducted phone surveys and found the majority of respondents were not supportive of the expansion, and had a map made of the current pipeline route when Kinder Morgan declined to give him one. “My job is to take what I’m hearing here back to Ottawa and develop a national position,” he said. Stewart also mentioned that there are 2,200 homeowners along the pipeline route. Kinder Morgan clarified with the NOW, stating that there are 2,200 landowners (not homeowners) along the existing right-of-way from Edmonton to Burnaby. In Burnaby, there are a total of 13 landowners – one is Kinder Morgan, seven are “government,” and five are private. Mayor Derek Corrigan criticized the federal government for having no national energy plan and leaving the fate of Canadian energy security up to market forces and corporations that oversee bitumen shipments to China, where there are

less stringent environmental regulations. “We’ll be handing those environmental problems off to China, and they’ll be drifting back over the Pacific into our communities,” he said. “To impose upon our communities this incredible risk and to risk tanker traffic that will affect the oceans of our world is beyond ridiculous – it’s absurdity. And we need to stand up as a community – if we are the only voice across Canada that is heard – we need to stand up as a community and say we are not going to tolerate this foolishness. We want an energy policy in Canada that answers to Canadian needs first that ensures our long-term viability as a nation and that we do not export our environmental problems to other parts of the world.” Ben West, a healthy communities campaigner with the Wilderness Committee, described the region as the frontlines of a fight against some of the richest, most powerful companies on Earth. “We’re fighting some of the richest people in the world,” he said. “This is just the beginning of a long fight.” He also said diluted bitumen, which Kinder Morgan has been shipping through the Trans Mountain pipeline for years, is “very different from light crude,” and he

Conservatives: Both sides are digging in their heels continued from page 1

Cummins’ noon deadline rolled by, but there were no real changes in the standoff. “There was nothing earth shattering,” Eckardt said. “We had been led to believe Mr. Cummins was going to announce his resignation.” Eckardt, who held a press conference with Patton Wednesday after the noon deadline, is digging her heels in and still calling for Cummins to resign. “There’s no other way. Mr. Cummins is divisive, and the way they want to reconcile us all is kick us out,” she said. Cummins, a former federal MP, was acclaimed as leader of the B.C. Conservative Party in May of 2011. According to Eckardt, the trouble became apparent at the party’s Sept. 22 annual general meeting held in Langley. Eckardt said

she witnessed a split with Cummins on one side and John van Dongen on the other. Van Dongen, who had left the B.C. Liberals to join the Conservatives only a few months prior, was their only sitting MLA, but he resigned from the B.C. Conservatives after the meeting, citing “differences of opinion” with Cummins “regarding the direction and operations of the party.” Eckardt’s not sure if it was a personality clash or ideological split, but she was upset nonetheless, and said Cummins, who was “clearly not a team player,” was not onside with van Dongen, who could have bolstered the party’s status at a time when the Liberals are not faring well in public opinion polls. “We know for a fact there were some MLAs who would have liked to join us, and Mr. Cummins made it quite clear he wasn’t

In a statement posted on the party website, Cummins pointed out that 70 per cent chose not to review his leadership at the last AGM. “I am unwavering in my dedication to the B.C. Conservatives, and fully intend to lead my party into the next general election,” he said in the statement, describing his detractors as “few but vocal.” But Eckardt, a lifetime party member, has no intention of backing down. “He is digging in his heels as are we,” she said. “We actually see it the other way. With Mr. Cummins, we don’t stand a chance in the next election.” No one from the B.C. Conservative Party returned calls from the NOW by press time. For more on this story, see Jennifer Moreau’s blog at www.burnabynow.com.

interested,” Eckardt said. “That’s when we realized we were in trouble.” According to Eckardt, many constituency association presidents were also upset following the AGM, so they decided to put their concerns on paper, but someone prematurely leaked their letter to the media, and that’s when Cummins replied with the ultimatum to get in line or quit the party. Eckardt said the party has about 54 constituency associations in B.C., and presidents from more than 21 of those have signed the letter. Eckardt also said Cummins has surrounded himself with “dinosaurs” as advisors. “Their attitudes and their advice (are) just not conducive to today’s political parties,” she said.

Fair Haven United Church Homes

by Kelina Kwan

“We believe in enriching the lives of our Fair Haven community by providing a secure, compassionate and inclusive environment.” This is the vision of the Fair Haven United Church Homes, who provide affordable housing and long-term care for seniors in the Burnaby and Vancouver area. It is not only an ultimate goal to strive for, but it is also a true description of the community that they have built through their 60+ years of history. The Fair Haven United Church Home in Burnaby is truly a community, not only in terms of its residents, but also in the spirit of volunteering – it is an example of how a volunteer community can be created through the simple belief of connecting and caring for each other. Volunteers are recruited to help in the Oneto-One Visit programs, special projects as well as a variety of recreational programs. But

Fair Haven’s volunteers are not only comprised of outsiders. Recently, I spoke with Normeo Chung, Director of Therapeutic Recreation and Volunteer Services at Fair Haven, and discovered how the spirit of volunteering is all around Fair Haven. In addition to recruited volunteers,“residents volunteer too,” said Chung. “Residents help fold towels and protective cloths every day, they water the plants in the garden and inside the building, they help in a variety of recreational programs, and they help provide companionship for other residents” – a role that is usually fulﬁlled by recruited volunteers. “Residents also volunteer as ofﬁcers in the resident council that, like a strata council, provides a voice for fellow residents to raise concerns.” But that is not all, staff members and workers at Fair Haven often introduce their friends and families

to become volunteers, and family members of residents also often become volunteers for the care home. Neighbouring organizations, such as L’Arche Greater Vancouver, also volunteer at Fair Haven. Fair Haven’s volunteer “community” also extends to residents of neighbouring cottages and apartments, and members of the South Burnaby United Church, who form auxiliary groups and volunteer to help raise funds for the long-term care home. An upcoming Christmas craft sale fundraising event will be hosted by the auxiliary group on November 17, from 1:30pm to 3pm. At this Christmas craft sale you can purchase Christmas and other craft items prepared by the auxiliary members.There will also be a tea, bake sale, white elephant and rafﬂe. For more information on this and other events, please visit their website www.fairhaven. bc.ca

Although the entire community pitches in, Fair Haven is still very much in need of volunteers. Fair Haven’s volunteers are mostly high school students and retirees, who are usually only available on weekends or in the evening. Fair Haven needs more volunteers who can help out weekdays and in the day time when elderly residents are more alert and can enjoy the activities more,“especially for the One-to-One Visit program,” Chung said.“We have 100 residents in the Burnaby home, and they would all like to have a visitor every day.We need a lot of volunteers!” Another initiative that Fair Haven is working on is corporate volunteering. Chung would like to see corporations and companies who would like to give back to the community, volunteer with Fair Haven.Volunteer opportunities can be arranged for company employees, such as helping out with a BBQ, helping with

events such as the upcoming craft sale, helping with graphic design for posters, or helping in a recreational program.There are many opportunities to volunteer as a team in your community. So get involved in your community and join the Fair Haven team of volunteers! If you are interested in volunteering for the Fair Haven United Church Homes, or if your company would like to set up volunteer opportunities with Fair Haven, please contact Normeo Chung at 604-435-0525 (ext. 312) or 604-433-2939 (ext. 2230), or visit their website at www.fairhaven.bc.ca and look under “Join the team”. For more information on how to get involved in your community, please contact Volunteer Burnaby through their website at www.volunteerburnaby.ca Or call 604-294-5533.

Former MP backs Cummins staff reporter

For New Westminster provincial Conservative candidate Paul Forseth, there’s no doubt who he’s supporting in the brouhaha surrounding the beleaguered party. “I’m 100 per cent behind John Cummins, who resurrected the Conservative party from oblivion,” said Forseth, the former federal MP who is hoping to make his mark in next May’s provincial election. “He deserves to lead us into the next election.” Forseth was responding to a Wednesday afternoon press conference held by an opposing faction of Conservatives who are asking for Cummins’ resignation. He said it’s simply a case of sour grapes. “The main board of the party, they’re carrying on business as usual,” said Forseth. “A few people, people who are unwilling

Ready, set, ShakeOut Duck and cover, Burnaby. The third annual B.C. ShakeOut, a provincewide earthquake drill, is taking place on Oct. 18 at 10:18 a.m., according to a press release from the City of Burnaby’s emergency program coordinator, Charmaigne Pflugrath. “During the drill, participants will be asked to ‘drop, cover and hold on’ for up to two minutes, simulating the quake-safe response to an earthquake event,” Pflugrath stated in the release. Everyone is welcome to participate. The theme for this year’s drill is Secure Your Space, she added, and participants are encouraged to assess their surroundings and take appropriate precautions. It will be the largest earthquake drill in history, according to Pflugrath, with California, Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, Guam, Puerto Rico and southern Italy participating, as well.

to accept a 71 per cent vote in favour of John’s leadership, they’re continuing to agitate. And it’s typical of the media that they concentrate on the minority. … The majority of the party supports John. I just think that these so-called dissidents, they call a press conference and what you have is a one- or two-day story. They have no other place to go. It’s just silliness.” Forseth contrasted the dissidents’ press conference with the media conference Cummins presided over earlier on Wednesday afternoon. “The dissidents say the

party can’t raise money and can’t sign up new members. They create the controversy and call a media conference to try to get that point across,” said Forseth. “John comes out and shows the finances are in good shape and we’ve grown by more than 300 members. … That’s John’s way. He has his facts, he has substance, and that’s his style.” The dissidents have given Cummins an ultimatum to resign by Oct. 12 or face a continued assault, but Forseth put little stock in that threat. “I know John, and he’s not going to resign,” said

Forseth. As for what consequences the dissidents might face, Forseth said the Conservative party has clear rules and processes to deal with such dissent. “If individuals continue to undermine the party, there is a due process to withdrawing their memberships,” said Forseth. “If it comes to that, that’s what will happen, but it will be done in a professional and fair manner. The board has to follow its constitution if they want to pull a membership.” www.twitter.com/AlfieLau

Fully charged:

Burnaby resident Matthew Klippenstein convinced his wife to splurge on a Toyota Prius Plug-in, a hybrid car that can be charged with a regular outlet or at public charging stations, like this one at Burnaby’s BCIT campus. Klippenstein thinks the extra cost is worth the investment in the planet and his son’s future.

Trading luxury for a ‘green’ machine Plug-in car reduces fossil fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions for local family Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Matthew Klippenstein’s idea of a luxury purchase is something that leaves him with a clean conscience and his one-yearold son, Leo, with a brighter future. The Burnaby resident and his wife are among the first in Canada to get their hands on a Toyota Prius Plug-in, a new electrical hybrid vehicle that plugs into any old outlet. “It’s worth it for going green. Instead of spending a bit of extra money on luxury for me, it’s worth it to spend a bit of extra money on the car, which will benefit Leo in the coming years,” Klippenstein said. “I want him to be able to grow up in the Lower Mainland that I grew up in, and in order for that to happen, people do need to make prudent decisions.” For the Klippensteins, that prudent decision meant shelling out more than $39,000 in late September when the Plug-in hit the market. The price includes a $2,500 rebate from the provincial government to encourage drivers to go electric. Klippenstein estimates he spent about $2.80 on gas to drive 20 kilometres in his

March 31, 2013. Klippenstein is looking forward to 10 new stations planned for Metropolis at Metrotown, so he can plug his car in while shopping or watching a movie. It takes approximately three hours to fill the battery, which costs about 20 cents and allows him to drive for roughly 20 kilometres. Once the Plug-in runs out of electricity, Klippenstein can switch to gas at the touch of a button, so there’s no fear of being stranded between charging stations. Klippenstein said the vehicle is very quiet and smooth to drive, and he expects to have it on the road for the next 20 years. “If you have a car and buy a new car, it takes a lot of energy to make that car, so I hope to make very full use of the vehicle. I hope we can drive it for a long time,” he said. But going green on the road is more for his son than anything. “This is a chance to walk the walk and put my money where my mouth is,” Klippenstein said. “I guess it’s like sacrificing for your children, I suppose. … We wanted to try and reflect that sensibility, that ethic.” He’s looking forward to hitting the 150,000-kilometre mark so he can say he’s done the right thing and saved money.

MOVERS & SHAKERS Janaya Fuller-Evans

he Burnaby Board of Trade is starting up its Student Access Program this month. The board launched the program with an orientation event at the Electronic Arts facility in Burnaby last Wednesday. The career development program was created last spring to connect postsecondary students with business leaders and representatives. Access has three components, including one that works by connecting final year post-secondary students with someone in their field for a one-on-one meeting. That person will then connect them with two other professionals, who will connect them with two more each. The other two components of the program are the seminars and workshops offered by local consultants and business networking opportunities at student and board of trade events. The goal is to help students build a professional

The Burnaby branch of Community Savings Credit Union is holding a pumpkin-carving contest from Oct. 27 to 31, according to a press release from the credit union. There are three categories: ages 12 and under, ages 13 to 18, and People’s Choice. The two age categories are to be judged by representatives from the Burnaby Heights Merchants’ Association, while everyone can vote for the people’s choice category, the release stated. “Halloween is such a fun holiday, and I have great memories of pumpkin-carving with my daughters. My oldest always enjoyed pulling out the pumpkin’s innards while my youngest spent hours planning the right design,” said Val Bahnman, branch manager, in the release. “I think this is a wonderful activity. The staff and I can’t wait to see what the neighbourhood kids come up with.”

The elementary school teacher used a similar visual organizer in her classroom and, for many years, made them for her students by request.

hat does it mean to be part of a community? And what kind of an impact does it have on our children, families and neighbours? That’s the focus of an upcoming provincial gathering that will be hosted in Burnaby on Oct. 18, 19 and 20. Together for Kids and Communities: A Common Vision is the theme of the 2012 conference for the Association for Community Education in B.C. Doreen George, with the Burnaby School District, told the NOW that the concept of community education refers to the process of identifying the strengths and needs of the community and then bringing together community resources – be it human, organizational, physical or financial – to address issues and develop the leadership capacity of the community. Burnaby has a strong connection to the concept. The local district and city hall came together more than 30 years ago to develop the community school model here. Today, there are seven elementary community schools and a pilot secondary school model. “Community schools act as a community hub - places where students, families and community can come together, feel welcome, access resources and access a vast variety of programs for both students and adults,” she wrote. “The premise is that students belong in families living in the communities. By working together – schools, families, community members and the vast array of organizations in Burnaby – we are better

Collaboration

There’s another unique event related to children and education happening this month. On Oct. 19, the B.C. Cooperative Learning Association, along with the Dalai Lama Centre for Peace and Education, hosts the Social Emotional Learning: What Do We

Know, What Do We Do? conference at the Michael J. Fox Theatre at Burnaby South Secondary. The event is a professional development opportunity for educators and educational researchers, with a keynote by David Osher from the American Institute of Research. Sessions include a closeup look at mindfulnessbased approaches, restorative practices, classroom climate and cooperative learning.

able to support our students and their learning.” George says the conference will attract a mix of people, including parents, community members, educators, principals, community school coordinators, and those from the non-profit organizations. She notes that several of the sessions may be of interest to parents, particularly the keynote presentation: a talk by well-known community developer Jim Diers, from the University of Washington, entitled “Neighbour Power: Building Strong Communities.” “Jim has a passion for getting people engaged with their communities and in the decisions that affect their lives,” she told me. Others speaking at the conference include Molly McCloskey, managing director of the ASCD’s (formerly the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development) Whole Child initiative, and Abe Fernandez, deputy director of the National Centre for Community Schools, Children’s Aid Society, New York. David Rawnsley with Burnaby’s Byrne Creek Secondary will also speak in the opening of the conference. Workshop sessions include themes as diverse as advocacy, educating the whole child, innovative before/after school programs, chronic absenteeism, and community council/Parent Advisory Council best practices.

Bringing pieces of the world back to Canada Burnaby resident has unique offerings in his Urban Gypsy shop Niki Hope

staff reporter

He’s lived a life as unique and exotic as some of the pieces of furniture he sells at his Columbia Street store in New Westminster. Urban Gypsy owner and Burnaby resident Jason McGill has travelled to more than two dozen countries, lived through a political uprising and bought a business after just one visit. There’s no question McGill likes adventure, and his store has allowed the family man – he has a one-year-old son and a three-yearold daughter – to go on buying trips but to still have a home base from which to share his wordly tales. In the 1990s, McGill started his career in the fashion business, in marketing, which took him to all of the usual stops in Europe. Eventually, he took an unusual route, finding a job teaching at a fashion design school in Asia. “I was thinking London or Milan,” McGill says. “And they said, ‘Jakarta, Indonesia,’ and I said, ‘Sounds good, let me get my map.’” McGill got off the plane, and fell in love. Urban Page 20

Exotic tales: Jason McGill owns the Urban Gypsy, a furniture and art store on Columbia Street, which he took over after visiting just once. McGill has lived an adventurous life – travelling to more than two dozen countries and living through a political uprising.

ENGAGING THE WORLD

Urban: Store supplies unique pieces to customers – including film biz continued from page 19

“As much as Jakarta was an absolute, I mean, it’s a dump. It’s the dirtiest, craziest, most polluted and one of the biggest cities on the planet. But I was young, doing business, and I had a five-bedroom penthouse, and I worked in the fashion industry – I was living the life,” he says. But the good times wouldn’t last. In 1998, the Asian currency crisis hit, McGill says, summing up the economic atmosphere. “And things happened, like there was basically a small revolution in Indonesia. They pretty much overthrew the government, when they kicked out Suharto,” he says. “I got caught up in all of that and lost everything. I lost my business.” McGill spent three days trying to get to the airport in the middle of what was basically a war zone. “I spent three days curled up in the fetal position in my penthouse waiting for my building to burn down,” he says. “There were thousands of people killed, and it was like the whole city was on fire. I was in a bad area. It’s a long and complicated story.” After he fled Jakarta, McGill began doing marketing for international education, but it wasn’t thrilling enough because he spent all of his time stuck inside hotel rooms. He got burned out and quit. McGill returned to Canada and eventually walked into a store that sold Asian furniture and decor pieces. He started telling the owner what he knew about the pieces in the store. “It was driving me crazy, and about a week later, I walked back in and said, ‘I’ll buy the store.’” It was that simple. Interestingly, while McGill didn’t live

in New West or grow up there, there was a connection – beyond the fact that he was born in Royal Columbia Hospital in 1970. McGill’s parents met in New West, just a couple of blocks up the hill from the store he bought. “My dad, the first job he got when he came to Canada (from Scotland in the 1960s) was bouncing in a night club called the Grooveyard. It was about two blocks away in New Westminster, and that’s where he met my mother in 1967,” McGill says, referring to a previous incarnation of what is now called Metro Hall. “That was the coolest nightclub anywhere. Ike and Tina Turner and Little Stevie Wonder as the opening act. Marvin Gaye, I think played there.” McGill says New West’s downtown has changed dramatically since he took over Urban Gypsy. “Five years ago when I opened my store, I’d be kicking some guy out of my doorway in the morning and now, I look down the street and see young couples pushing baby buggies,” he says. The downtown redevelopment has been “massive,” McGill says. “My thing has always been let’s do it as smart as we can, let’s do it as cheap as we can, the best that we can, but most importantly, let’s just do it,” he says. “Let’s just get stuff done.” The influx of condo developments downtown has been good for McGill’s business, which specializes in South East Asian furniture and art, with most of the pieces coming from India. McGill used to import quite a bit from Indonesia, but he doesn’t like buying new teak because it’s not sustainable, he says. “For 200 years, that’s all the colonials wanted was teak and mahogany, so they

wiped out teak forests all over, and it takes too bloody long to grow,” he says. McGill does have teak in his store, but it’s either original antique teak or recycled wood. On a trip to India, he saw sheesham wood, a native tree of the sub-Himalayan regions of Pakistan and India. “It’s heavier than oak and teak, yet it grows like a weed, so it’s totally sustainable,” he says. It’s the wood McGill uses for some of the new handmade, solid hardwood furniture pieces he sells, like dining room tables. The India experience was transformative for McGill. “When you go to India, I don’t care who you are, your head completely explodes just because it’s unbelievable,” he says. “It’s so vast, it’s so varied, I don’t care whether you are talking architecture to history to furniture to clothing – there’s nothing you can’t do see or get in India.” McGill also carries statues of Hindu gods and Buddha figures, which may seem somewhat specialized, but McGill says his clients are as varied as his products. Urban Gypsy carries unique story-filled pieces, like a bookshelf made out of old camel carts and a dining table made out of an 150-year old door. McGill also supplies the film industry. McGill got a call recently with what may have seemed like strange request for some. The set designer wanted a snake-charming basket. McGill happened to have one from Cambodia. “When these guys need some crazy stuff, they’ll call me because there’s not too many guys around,” McGill says, laughing. As for his own home, McGill says the house he shares with his wife and kids

looks more like a “horrible preschool” than an exotic temple. “I don’t have any of my beautiful pieces. I’ve got multi-coloured foam mats on the floor and baby gates and toys from one end to the other,” he says, “but I keep a couple of pieces that I can’t part with.” With two little tots running around and a store chock-full of striking furnishings and art, it seems McGill has the best of both worlds.

New Homes Registry Keeps Homebuyers Informed This helpful, easy-to-use, online resource is available from the Homeowner Protection Office (HPO) website at www.hpo.bc.ca. Savvy homebuyers are using it to make more informed purchasing decisions. The New Homes Registry provides free access to find out if a home has a policy of home warranty insurance and is built by a Licensed Residential Builder, or whether it’s built without home warranty insurance. Homebuyers can obtain valuable information such as the name and contact number of the warranty provider, the builder’s warranty number and whether an ownerbuilt home can be legally offered for sale. Every new home built for sale by a Licensed Residential Builder in British Columbia is protected by mandatory third-party home warranty insurance. Better known as 2-5-10 home warranty insurance, this coverage includes: two years on labour and materials, five years on the building envelope (including water penetration), and 10 years on the structure. It’s the strongest system of construction defect insurance in Canada. For free access to the New Homes Registry visit the Homebuyers section of the HPO website.

The Toyota FJ Cruiser still a true work horse

A true SUV in off-road capabilities for popular Toyota offering David Chao

NOW contributor

I’ve always liked the FJ Cruiser, not only because it’s “so different” than other SUVs but also because it’s so practical and usable in the real outdoors. Unlike most SUVs – which are really cross-overs designed for casual off-roading – the FJ is a true work horse when it comes to driving through tough terrains. Yet, surprisingly it’s not a bad road vehicle too, with a comfortable ride and predictable handling that might surprise you. The FJ Cruiser can seat five and has unusual rear-hinged side doors that allow access to its rear seats. Ease of entry has been improved on the passenger side, with a front passenger seatback that folds farther forward. The rear cargo door is hinged on the driver’s side of the vehicle, instead of the usual liftgate. The outboard rear seats have

also been upgraded with folding head restraints. This handy feature improves the driver’s rear vision when the seats are not in use. That said, outward vision is an issue in an FJ, mainly due to its extra wide roof support pillars. The FJ’s gutsy 4.0-litre V6 engine produces 271 lb-ft of torque, which peaks at 4400 rpm. It’s a modern engine with dual variable valve timing, which means the valve opening/closing sequence on both the intake and exhaust camshafts changes with engine speed. The base six-speed manual version comes with full-time four-wheel drive. Our test FJ Cruiser came with the optional five-speed automatic ($1,000) and part-time four-wheel drive. A separate shift lever allows the driver to select a higher-ratio gear range (for off-road use). This package also adds a rear differential lock and skid-plate protection for the engine, transfer case and gas tank. An “Adventurer Package” ($5,995) was also fitted to our test FJ. It includes a long list of features, including the very cool

Toyota: ‘Oh-so-cool’ factor helps boost FJ into a popular option continued from page 27

vehicle that it made, which became the Land Cruiser in North America. While some styling cues are transferred, the FJ Cruiser is a unique design that attempts to recapture the spirit of its predecessors. Toyota’s design studios in southern California came up with the concept and the engineering and production work on the FJ Cruiser was done in Japan. Retro exterior FJ styling cues include that narrow slot in the hood that acts as a secondary engine air intake and the upright windshield with its trio of wipers. While the FJ Cruiser shares much of its understructure with the Toyota 4Runner and Tacoma pickup truck, it has a shorter wheelbase and very short front and rear body overhangs. This, of course, is to allow it to manoeuvre better in tighter confines and be an even better off-road vehicle. The purpose-built highly functional theme of FJ is continued on the inside. Forget leather upholstery as the FJ only comes with water-resistant cloth upholstery and easy-clean rubberized floor and cargo mats. The dash has a utilitarian, industrial look and an odd lower section that sticks out into the cabin. I caught my knee on it a couple of times while hauling myself in the driver’s seat. When seated (and possibly cursing and hurting) the driver then faces an instrument panel with plain white-faced gauges that are easy to read. In addition to the regular glove box, there’s a handy although smaller covered storage box on top of the instrument panel in front of the driver. Cup holders are provided in the centre console and in all four doors. A feature that could come in very handy is a secondary fold-down sun visor above both front doors. The rear-seat cushions tip forward to allow the rear seatbacks, which are split 60/40, to fold forward and expand is cargo bay. It’s not a completely flat expanded cargo floor feature, but its close enough to still be highly usable.

The side curtain air bags come with a roll sensing and activation system, which is good to have on a tall, higher centre of gravity vehicle. The front seats also come with active head restraints that help prevent whiplash-type injuries. An auto-dimming rear-view mirror is a new feature. While it’s more capable than most utility vehicle buyers will ever put to test, the FJ Cruiser bestows its go-anywhere driving freedom and a status level on its owner that many will enjoy. It’s also rated to tow as much as 2,268 kg (5,000 lbs), which is a good-sized trailer. If most driving is done in the city, however, fuel consumption will probably be an issue. The FJ is a heavy vehicle with a fairly large engine and its transmission gearing is not designed to provide optimal fuel economy. The manual transmission version of the FJ Cruiser has an off-road crawl ratio of 41.84:1 and a clutch-less start feature that can come in handy, especially if you plan to do some rock-crawling manoeuvres. The automatic transmission’s four-wheeldrive system offers shift-on-the-fly selection. The choices are H2 (high range/2 wheel drive), H4 (high range/4 wheel drive) or L4 (low range/ 4wheel drive) settings on the transfer case. The wide roof support pillars and short window glass do present some driver vision issues, particularly if you’re an avid shoulder-checker. The driver has a wide B pillar over the left shoulder and C pillar on the right do restricts vision of traffic in the so-called “blind spot.” The big side mirrors, if used correctly, can certainly minimize or eliminate this issue. The roof extends further forward than in most vehicles and the wide front A pillars can also restrict cross-traffic driver sightlines in some intersections. Extra caution is the answer here. On city streets and on highways the FJ Cruiser offers a more comfortable ride than you might expect, even in the back seat.

While there’s some wind noise from the big roof rack at highway speeds, its oh-so-cool factor would certainly outweight this minor annoyance.

Cruiser selects its masters - they simply have to own it!

Use caution around water to avoid troubles CLICK & CLACK TALK CARS Ray & Tom Magliozzi

Dear Tom and Ray: I’m an authentic Chinese citizen writing to you guys from China. Did you imagine you would ever have faithful listeners and readers across the Pacific? Well, you have at least one! I studied and worked in the U.S. for 10 years before moving my family back to China. Now I commute about 50 miles a day by car. Your “Car Talk” radioshow podcast has made this routine journey bearable, and even joyful sometimes. Thank you! My question: Last week, a huge storm hit Beijing, causing serious flooding inside the city. One man reportedly drove his SUV under an underpass and

got trapped under 10 feet of water. Realizing that his car windows and doors were all stuck (or locked), he desperately tried to crack a window to escape. Meanwhile, he called his wife, asking her to come and rescue him with a hammer. Sadly, after spending about 40 minutes inside the car, he still could not break the window. When his wife arrived, it was too late. Of course, shame on the government’s infrastructure system. But I wonder what advice you would offer to anyone who finds himself in this sort of situation. You may think it is an uncommon scenario, but who can exclude the possibility that a disgruntled husband, like myself, desperately annoyed by his wife, may want to terminate his life by driving his car into a lake? And when he is already in the water, he realizes he forgot to turn off the rice cooker, and suddenly needs to get out? Thanks! Yang TOM: That’s why we

always say make sure you double-check the rice cooker before leaving the house, Yang. RAY: Actually, this kind of accident, where a car ends up under – or largely under – water can happen anywhere. So here’s what you need to know in case it happens to you. TOM: First, the window is a better option than the door. There’s a huge amount of pressure against the outside of the door from the surrounding water, so it’s very, very hard to push open a door. RAY: Second, on many cars, power windows will continue to work for at least a short time after a car has been submerged. So Step 1 is to take a deep breath and try to open your window immediately. TOM: In case the power windows do not work, then you should keep a tool in the glove box that you can use to break a window. Car windows are

hard to break. RAY: Car glass also is tempered, which means it’s been specially manufactured to be harder to break. RAY: Your best bet probably is using your feet and trying to push out the windshield or rear win-

dow. Neither of those is set in tracks, like the side windows. TOM: But our best advice is to be very careful around water. It’s hard to know how deep a puddle is before driving into it. So if you do encounter a puddle of

unknown depth, proceed very, very slowly, and stop if necessary.

Cancer June 21-July 22: The focus remains on kids, home, food, shelter, security, basics and foundations, both Sunday/Monday, and this whole week. These are your zones of strength, so all should go well. While at home (or café, park, plant nursery, etc.) you might get a splendid career/work idea. Communications are affectionate all month. You might receive or send a love “note” (glance, flirty email). Midweek brings romantic notions, though whether you should follow them is not certain. (If you meet/date Tuesday eve, a new love might begin.) Tackle tasks Thursday onward – your career will benefit. Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Travel, communicate and visit Sunday/Monday – Sunday’s much better. A romantic wish could come true, or you could make a great friend. Be home, focus on domestic matters Monday night to Wednesday. Family members are unusually talkative (and would love a trip). This evening to Friday brings romance, adventure, pleasure, beauty and speculative luck. Tackle chores Saturday. All October, your money, income and spending luck sail sweetly along. Now to midNovember, your romantic courage is high; you could meet an exciting, marriageable partner (better this week than the next four). Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Continue to chase money, especially Sunday (and Monday, though routine is better this day). Travel, communicate, contact casual friends and do paperwork Tuesday/Wednesday. Be domestic, strive to further your security, retirement nest egg, children’s interests, late Wednesday night (listen to mate’s misgivings) to Friday afternoon. Romance, creativity and/or pleasure lure you Saturday – go. All month, you radiate a subtle charm; it attracts others, financially and emotionally. But step lightly at home: the floor burns with potential quarrels. Yet you desire to buy property.

Aries March 21 - April 19: The accent lies on relationships, especially Sunday/Monday.All October, you’ll hear secrets, divine someone’s true intent, or share in financial knowledge/action with another. If someone attracts you (a co-worker?) intimate talk is not far behind. (Perhaps Monday to Wednesday – with no guarantee of success.) Careful – this love can turn to work. Your cultural, intellectual, travel and love nature emerges strongly late week (and to mid-November). A new project in these arenas is pretty certain. But avoid legal hassles/suits, into midDecember. Be ambitious Saturday: contact VIPs. Taurus April 20-May 20: Work hard – it’s the only “sure thing” now, especially Sunday (maybe Monday) when your efforts can lead, financially, to success that somehow involves the government, an institution or large corporation. Relationships demand diplomacy, co-operation midweek. You might be attracted to a sexual or financial situation Wednesday night to Friday eve, and right into midNovember. Be careful: impulsivity can lead to chains. But there is also a money opportunity here, on the earnings-for-work side – mostly Thursday. A sweet, gentle mood flows over you Friday eve, Saturday: love brews. Gemini May 21-June 20: The accent continues on romance, infatuation, pleasure, creativity, beauty, children’s affairs and taking successful risks, especially Sunday/Monday – if you’re single, you could fall in love. (This is a bright, nervy, witty, friendly, “electric” meeting/person – and the “falling in” could be delayed – but not long.) Tackle chores Tuesday/ Wednesday. Relationships, exciting meetings, occur Wednesday eve to Friday afternoon. Be diplomatic, co-operative. All links are heating up – this causes you great hope, but irks another. It’s love or war. Home remains sweet. Sexy urges Saturday.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Your charisma and energy remain high, Libra. Continue to start things, to seek attention, favours and affirmative replies. You’re especially “in your power” Sunday/Monday – though watch the “start nothing” interval. Chase money, buy and sell Monday night, Tuesday – but avoid jewelry, travel tickets and luxury items generally. Thursday/ Friday bring travel, notes, reports, media, minor joys and casual friends (a potential mate might be among these). Focus on home, domesticity, security, children Saturday. Your inner world and confidants remain affectionate, lucky all month. Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Continue to lie low, rest, contemplate and plan, especially Sunday/Monday. (Let the plans be dreams Monday, as this day’s ones won’t really come true.) Your energy rises mildly Monday eve to Wednesday eve – lots of progress promised Tuesday. Chase money Thursday/Friday. Saturday’s for friends, trips, errands and paperwork (or read a paper). Now to mid-November much money will come to you, but you could spend even more, ending at a loss. Be conservative, bank it. Friends remain a delight this week and next. Though you’re tired, you remain unexpectedly alert and communicative. Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Dreams come true this week, especially Sunday/Monday – or you might make a wish that later comes true. (Fully expressed wishes seldom manifest: so let yours be a “feeling,” or semi-conscious.) Retreat, rest and think things over Tuesday/Wednesday: you’ve met a new friend or two in past weeks, might have begun a flirtatious relationship. Your energy and charisma soar Wednesday night to Friday – as does your popularity. Your romantic quotient is surging. However, a “suitor” – one who talks partnership – has the advantage. Higher-ups favour you all month. Buy/sell, Saturday.

Oct. 14 - 20, 2012 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Continue to pursue your ambitions, especially Sunday (best) Monday (but stick to routine, projects already “safe”) Tuesday (butter up VIPs or enhance co-worker relations via “fun”) and Thursday to Saturday. Your hopes and sociability rise Tuesday/Wednesday. Rest and plan, Thursday/Friday. Your energy and charisma lift Friday eve, Saturday – start something! All month, benefits come from intellectual, foreign, legal, publishing and similar sources. You might improve/purchase a property for security or family reasons anytime now into midNovember – seek government aid. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: The mellow, loving mood continues. You benefit this week from international, publishing, educational, cultural, ritual, intellectual, legal, far travel and similar matters, especially Sunday/ Monday and Thursday. (Don’t start anything Monday, though.) Be ambitious Monday night to Wednesday eve – higher-ups approve of your energy, but they’re casting a skeptical eye on your romantic and creative episodes/ideas. These VIPs (now to 2015) don’t like “fun.” Optimism, popularity, entertainment and light romance come Thursday/Friday. You’ll be popular into mid-November. Sleep Saturday. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: The mysteries continue – research, perform detective work, diagnose health, make changes,invest,fix finances,make commitments, and seek intimacy – these are very lucky Sunday, (seek earnings) and somewhat favoured Monday. (Monday’s things have a hard time “culminating.”) Wisdom and a mellow mood bless you Tuesday/Wednesday. Be ambitious, speak with higher-ups Thursday/Friday. (People in charge are testy, impatient now through midNovember, but that shouldn’t impede your ambitions.) A gathering, a flirtation, your popularity, future plans – something makes you happy Saturday. timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 604-727-3673
