City MLAwants costof federalcrime bill

How much will the federal govern-ment’s omnibus crime bill cost B.C.?That’s the billion dollar question onelocal politician is asking, and blankdocuments released through freedomof information requests aren’t helpingsolve the mystery.

Burnaby MLA Kathy Corrigan, theNDP’s public safety and correctionscritic, made freedom of informationrequests on the provincial government’scosting and correspondence in respectto Bill C-10, also known as the omnibuscrime bill. She received roughly 300pages of documents, but information oncosting was redacted.

“All the pages that have to do withcosting are blanked out,” Corrigan said.“Either they haven’t got very far along,and they don’t know what the costs are,or they are hiding the truth, and I justdon’t know why they won’t tell BritishColumbians what the costs are of BillC-10.”

The federal Conservatives passed thebill in March. It calls for tougher mea-sures to fight crime, but politicians likeCorrigan have raised concerns aboutwho will bear the brunt of the costs.

“We know there’s going to be a verysignificant impact on the justice systemin B.C., particularly corrections,” shesaid. “It could be in the hundreds ofmillions of dollars for B.C. We just don’tknow, and it’s time we do know.”

According to Justice Minister ShirleyBond, the missing information was jus-tified.

Pipeline plans draw more oppositionThe public hearings have

yet to start, but oppositionto Kinder Morgan’s pipelineexpansion is moving ahead.

Kinder Morgan is planningto twin the Trans Mountainpipeline, which runs oil fromAlberta to Burnaby, where

tankers can fill up with crudefor overseas markets. Thecompany has yet to apply tothe National Energy Board forproject approval but is pro-ceeding with expansion plans.

Fraser Valley residents areholding a public meeting onApril 11 to share informationand voice their worries.

“In terms of actually involv-ing residents’ concerns in thedevelopment of their projectproposal, that has not beenguaranteed,” said Chilliwackresident Sheila Muxlow.

Kinder Morgan has saidthere will be public hearingson the pipeline expansion buthas not yet released any details

about where or when they willbe.

Muxlow said the ad hocgroup of residents wants togather sooner and share theirconcernssothatKinderMorganis not setting the agenda, espe-cially given the recent cuts tothe Canadian Environmental

On a warm spring day in 1944, alarge class of female studentsat Edmonds Street School were

out in the large yard, dressed to matchin dark skirts, white blouses and whitesocks with dark shoes.

As they set off to march in two longlines, they were headed by DoloresJackson, then 14 and one of the oldest stu-dents in the group. In an all-white dressand cap, she led the students in a seriesof formations and exercises for InspectionDay, with local Canadian military person-nel on hand to take part.

Jackson got a photo of the event after-wards, but it was tucked away into abox and forgotten about for the last fewdecades.

Until one day last year when, as shepaused at a corner on Kingsway to pushthe crossing button, she spotted herself –

white dress, whitecap – and the rowof girls behind her,on a hydro box afew feet away.

“I couldn’tbelieve it,” sherecalls with alaugh. “I pushedthe button to cross,and then I juststood there look-ing at it. It was atotal surprise.

“There wasGrade 7, 8 and 9(behind), and whois in the very frontrow, with the longblond hair – it was

me,” she said. “I have the original pic-ture, and I’d forgotten all about it.”

She was thrilled and decided to callup city hall to find out how it had comeabout. The front desk put her through to

city staffer Kathy Wipf, who had beeninvolved in choosing photos for wraps onutility boxes around the city.

“Well, I heard that name and realizedI knew who it was – I workedwith the Burnaby RCMP for31 years, and she used to comeover from city hall sometimes,she was a very nice younglady.”

When Wipf phoned back,she remembered Jackson – whowas affectionately known to staff at thecity and the RCMP detachment as “Mrs.J” – but didn’t realize she was one of thegirls in the old photo.

“It was exciting,” says Jackson.A lifelong Burnaby resident, Jackson

says she’s enjoyed being part of the city

as it has grown, living most of her youthon 16th Avenue, then settling on 12th,where she’s been for 60 years.

“I was born in Saint Mary’s (in NewWestminster) on Jan. 20, 1930. ThenI went to Stride Avenue School,then Edmonds, then BurnabySouth.”

She later had three children– and now has eight grandchildrenand 14 great-grandchildren.

She is proud of her years of ser-vice to the RCMP and still remembers itfondly. When former superintendent RickTaylor came to the city, she sent him anote welcoming him “to the best detach-ment in B.C.”

“It really was, it was a wonderful placeto work all those years,” she said.

Sometimes, a moment in history comesalive in a remembered song, or a certain fra-grance in the air. Sometimes it’s a person’svoice or a long-forgotten memento found inthe bottom of a box.

But photographs – even when they’rewrinkled, yellowed and torn – can bring the

past alive like nothing else. The right photois a window to the past that can show howmuch things have changed – and, in somecases, how much they’ve stayed the same.

Life in Burnaby

In 1944, the year thatJackson was photo-graphed leading herclassmates, Canadawas still at war inEurope; in June, theytook part in the invasionof Normandy, in par-ticular at Juno Beach.In Burnaby, the city wascontinuing to grow: pop-ulation rose from 20,000in 1925 to 75,000 in 1954.Most of that growthwould come in the post-war boom as familiessettled in Burnaby.

“The severing in the FOI is in linewith exceptions under the Freedomof Information and (Protection of)Privacy Act, including informationthat could be harmful to intergov-ernmental relations, or thatwhich is not responsive tothe particular request. Thesedecisions are made by pro-fessional public servants. It’simportant to note that smallsections of the more than 350pages of records were sub-ject to severing, the majorityof the records were, in fact,released,” she said. “Sincewe first got notification thatthe federal government wasto bring in the bill, my min-istry has been working to come upwith an accurate estimate of costs,as it would be irresponsible to startguessing at numbers without thembeing based on fact.”

Mark Weiler, a local freedom ofinformation expert, said the govern-ment should not have withheld thecosting information.

“If the cost estimates are relatingto a policy or project of the public

body, they are notallowed to with-hold. And if theyare, they are doingit unlawfully,” hesaid.

According to theact, public bodiescan withhold infor-mation, but onlyunder certain con-ditions.

The costinginformation was

blanked out under section 16 and13. Section 16 states information thatcould harm intergovernmental rela-tions can be withheld. But, Weilersaid, the government has to prove

harm.“Just because that information is

about inter-government relations,that doesn’t give full power to with-hold it. The next step they have to dois show it causes harm, and the bur-

den of proof is on them.”The other exemption

used, outlined in Section 13,states that information thatwould reveal advice or rec-ommendations developedby or for a public body ora minister can be withheld,something Weiler takesissue with.

“Everyone kind of knowsthat the government triesto hide everything underSection 13. It’s a known

problem,” he said, adding that there’sno broad interpretation of what poli-cy advice is. “The provincial govern-ment has been getting away with thisfar too long.”

Now that spring break hasended, and teachers andstudents have returned

to school (somewhat reluctantlyin both cases, given the continu-ing labour clashes), we shouldconsider the issue of salaries andpayment.

Nope, not for the teachers.For the kids.

There has long been a debateabout whether or not studentsshould be paid for going toschool, or more usually, for get-ting good grades.

When I was a child, I wasjealous of the kids who got $10for an A or $5 for a B. But myparents explained to me thatthey expected me to get goodgrades because education wasimportant for its own sake. Andanyway, I was getting 50 centsa week in allowance, what did Ineed cash from grades for!

Actually, some researchseems to bear out my parents’point. Giving people money foran activity turns it into a job,and it tends to lessen their enjoy-ment of that activity. In experi-ments with groups of children,and even adults, people given

pens to colour with or puzzles tosolve would work longer at theirtasks if they weren’t being paid.

They got caught up in theenjoyment of the thing. Whereasthose being paid would stopas soon as the money tap wasturned off.

This is why I’ve never accept-ed any money for my work.Hey, I enjoy writing and beinga reporter! So I show up everyday, write stories, take pictures,and lay out pages, purely outof my love of the work. Heck,I’d pay them for the privilege!(Note: No, I would not. I need toeat, and I like being paid.)

That’s the weird thing aboutthese discussions about whetheror not we should pay students.

We hold children and teenag-ers to completely different stan-dards from ourselves.

An adult who works fiveor six hours a day, five days aweek at a task, for no money, isa volunteer of some kind, andan incredibly dedicated one.They win awards for this kind ofthing. Kids, on the other hand,are expected to not only makethe same level of commitment,but to get little to no recognitionunless they do exceptionallywell. It’s all very odd.

But let’s leave aside the ideaof paying every kid for everyA or B grade. Let’s just take asa given that it would turn theintrinsic rewards of learning intoan extrinsic reward of cash

Budget course set for shores of hypocrisy?Perhaps the best that could be said of

last week’s federal budget is that it couldhave been much, much worse.

The Conservative government isworking to get the country out of a defi-cit. They are doing this entirelyby cutting back on spending,rather than raising taxes onanyone – even the very wealth-iest or most profitable. As theparty with the most seats in the House ofCommons, they can certainly chart theirown course.

But does that course send them sailing

straight onto the rocky shores of hypoc-risy?

For much of the past year, the Torieshave been pleased to focus on mattersthey couldn’t get through as a minority.

Tough-on-crime legislation wasnear the top of their agenda,along with the controversialpurchase of new fighter jets forthe military.

Yet in this budget we see thatPublic Safety Canada, which includesCorrections Canada and federal policing,is being cut by $687.9 million over three

years. The military is losing $1.1 billionover the same timeframe.

How are we to afford locking up moreoffenders, for more time? How will thisput more police on the streets?

Perhaps the Conservatives are doingwhat they rightly condemned theChrétien-era Liberals for: downloadingcosts.

Offenders who spend less than twoyears in jail do “provincial time,” in jailsthat cost the taxpayers of each province.Provinces and municipal governmentspick up a lot of the costs of policing.

As for the military, with the jet pur-chases, it looks as if the Conservativeswill succumb to the lure of flashy tech-nology over more trained soldiers andofficers. How many boots-on-the-groundpeacekeeping missions or disaster reliefprojects will the Canadian Forces beable to undertake if reduced funds arebeing sucked into the upkeep of a newfleet of aircraft?

With their majority in hand, theTories will be able to take all the credit,or blame, for this budget.

What about payfor students?

An alternative to bridge tollingDear Editor:

With the new Port Mann Bridge getting closer tocompletion, mayors and politicians are figuring outhow to charge for tolls for bridge.

In my opinion, I would make it as simple as pos-sible. Port Mann Bridge is the most important cross-ing and escape route out of Vancouver in case of anatural disaster.

Why not devise a simpler method to collectthe money to pay for the new bridge? How aboutcharging a flat rate for motorists from Abbotsfordto Horseshoe Bay instead?

This could be anywhere from say $50 to $100going directly to pay for the costs. Thus, there is

no need to install expensive tolling devices such ascameras, and bypassing all unnecessary administra-tive expenses.

Motorists should be paying the bridge costs, notthe homeowners. The funds collected need to bemanaged responsibly and go directly to the bridgeaccount.

and that it would dam-age their little brains byteaching them that work =money.

Let’s look at one areawhere we should definitelybe paying kids. Let’s startpaying high school stu-dents to graduate.

We know that the differ-ence between graduatingand not graduating has ahuge impact on lifetimeearning potential and onfuture job prospects. Amassive amount of workis expended every year inB.C. trying to shove thegraduation rate above 80

per cent and keep it there.At present, 78 per cent ofhigh school students willgraduate on schedule, and81 per cent within six yearsof starting high school.

So nearly a fifth of highschool students don’t fin-ish. How many of themwould buckle down andfinish the last couple ofyears if they knew they’dbe handed a cheque for$1,000 or $2,000 at the endof it? (Maybe some willblow the money on beer,but they’ll be drunk highschool grads, not drop-outs!)

This idea has a few ben-

efits. First, it’s focused ona tangible goal that will,hopefully, have a lifelongimpact. Second, we’ll beable to see pretty quicklyhow much of an impact itwill have. And finally, itwill benefit every studentwho crosses the threshold,with many of them likelyputting it toward theirpost-secondary education.

It may cost a lot, butwould it cost more thanhaving a fifth of our kidsnot finish school?

Students: Pay for graduating?

Kudos to Pat Tracy for her timely andprovocative item on Burnaby city coun-cil’s shameful rejection of transparencyand accountability in refusing to matchthe standards of other B.C. municipalitiesin making election expense data readilyavailable to taxpayers online.

Coun. Sav Dhaliwal’s response (themayor and most of council being off on ajunket) that it is of no interest to the publicand onerous to staff, is typically feeble andarrogant, particularly in light of the com-prehensive and no doubt costly websitethat city hall maintains.

I am shocked in particular by the rev-elation of the magnitude of the $20,000CUPE contribution to the coffers of theruling and unopposed Burnaby CitizensAssociation.

It is hardly surprising that our cityfathers wish to hide their cozy relation-ship with their employees, which comesat the expense our rising property tax bill,which increments annually regardless ofeconomic indicators.

Democracy is being lostDear Editor:

Re: Financial info should be online,Editor’s Letter, Burnaby NOW, March 30.

I would like to congratulate the editorof the Burnaby NOW for speaking veryopenly about Burnaby’s city hall politics.

Especially important is her pointing outthe cozy relationship berween CUPE andthe ruling party. Just a reminder: unionscontributed about half of of the funds forthe Burnaby Citizens Association electioncampaign, thereby effectively shutting outany other voices. This was more moneythan all the other parties collected com-

bined.The present system is not good for

democracy and could conceivably lead toconflicts of interest.

Leave pensions aloneDear Editor:

In his 2012 budget speech March 29,Finance Minister Jim Flaherty assertedaction was necessary to ensure the OldAge Security program remained sustain-able. In 20 years, he said, there would beonly two workers for every one retireepulling down OAS benefits.

The implication is that the viabilityof this important public pension schemeis threatened by the influx of retiringbaby boomers expected over the next fewdecades.

But this flies in the face of opinionby reputable pension experts, as well asthe findings of the parliamentary budgetofficer, who maintains the program is onsound financial footing and doesn’t needto be tinkered with.

So, the question is: Why is the govern-ment insisting otherwise?

One possible answer can be found inFlaherty’s budget speech when he refers tothe OAS as “the largest spending programof the federal government.” By promisingto eventually reduce this expenditure, isthe Harper government signalling to theworld, in particular the corporate world,that it is committed to reducing social-service spending? And is it reinforcingthis message by launching an immediateattack on public service employee pensionplans?

The Harper government knows thelogic of its case is weak, so it is going togreat lengths to get ordinary Canadians onside. Basically, it’s using a carrot and stick

strategy. On the one hand, they try tofrighten the next generation by suggestingthe OAS might not be there for them, whileat the same time reassuring baby boomersthey have nothing to worry about. Inactual fact, as long as our taxes are usedwisely, the OAS is going to be there forall of us.

Working people pay taxes in exchangefor social programs. For the most part, themore they earn, the more taxes they pay.

So, lasting and decent paying jobs areessential to a sound tax base. For as longas I can remember, our governments havegiven business and industry tax breaksand give-backs and write-offs and a wholerange of monetary inducements to reinvestin our economy and, ergo, create jobs.

However, there is evidence that manyof the jobs offered these days are mostlyshort-term or low wage. Jobs that comewith the promise of a full-time tax-payingcareer are scarce.

One reason is that Canada processesless and less of its raw materials and,instead, ships them to other countries formanufacture. In effect, with the activeassistance of the federal and provincialgovernments, resource-based industriesare exporting long-term good paying jobsalong with our natural resources.

The impact of failed job creation onour tax base is obvious. Less taxes paidby a stagnant or impermanent workforceultimately means less money to maintainsocial services.

So why does government continue tofinancially support corporate Canada if itis not doing a satisfactory job of creatingjobs? If we’re not getting a good return onour investment, why don’t we redirect it to

other programs?For example, I dare say that the hun-

dreds of millions of dollars at stake eachyear would produce a more positive out-come if provided to social services suchas health and education and, oh yeah, oldage security.

City must take steps toencourage active livesDear Editor:

The cost of maintaining one’s healthin this age of prepackaged food and sed-entary leisure activities is becoming pro-hibitively high. As a society, we find it ischeaper and more efficient to buy foodwith no nutritional value and to par-ticipate in video games. However, this issomething that, as a society, we shouldbegin to actively start combatting far morethan we have in recent history. The priceof food is, of course, beyond the ability ofany government to legislate or regulate,but the price of leisure activities in cityfacilities is something that can be dealtwith and legislated.

The rates of youth in British Columbiawho were obtaining the proscribed level ofphysical activity is alarmingly low, with acorresponding decrease in positive healthoutcomes that taxpayers must pay for inthe form of increased health premiumsand a greater drain on the health-caresystem.

Recent research from the McCrearySociety indicates that only 24 per centof young men and 11 per cent of youngwomen obtain the recommended mini-mum amount of physical activity eachweek. There was also a surprising numberof youth who stated in the survey thatthey did not do any exercising at all; seven

per cent of males and 10 per cent of femaleparticipants in the study indicated thatthey had not been engaged in any physicalactivity in the week preceding the survey.

Access is one of the key issues revolv-ing around the recreation system. Lessons,leagues and drop-in activities are prohibi-tively high for many low-income families.Looking specifically to the Be Active pass-es, which grant access to any of the facili-ties owned by the City of Burnaby, the costfor a single use is over $5 for adults andover $4 for children and seniors.

I cannot speak to the cost of lessons forathletics or other physical activities, butI do know that privately run leagues arealso quite expensive for people of limitedmeans.

Children from lower-income fami-lies are far less likely to be involved insports, either informally or formally. Only43 per cent of surveyed children fromlow-income families indicated they wereinvolved in organized sports, and 55 percent of low-income youth were involvedin informal sports not involving a coach.This compares unfavourably with otheryouth, 60 per cent of whom have beeninvolved in organized sport and a further69 per cent who were involved in informalphysical activities.

Physical activity, especially when start-ed at a young age, has been shown tohave numerous health benefits that carryon throughout one’s life and can addconsiderably to life expectancy and posi-tive health outcomes. Youth who committo the recommended levels of physicalactivity each week are positively corre-lated with a reduced likelihood to begin orcontinue smoking, and with an increasedlikelihood of maintaining a healthy bodyweight. In terms of mental health, at-riskyouth who are able to confide in a coach

or who feel as though their actions matterin their physical activities report improvedmental health.

Burnaby has some of the lowest userfees for any of the cities in the LowerMainland, with the Be Active pass systemexisting as a means of paying for drop-inleisure activities in advance. In spite ofthis, youth participation rates in physicalactivity have lowered since 1992. Whatcould be done is to lower the cost of theBe Active passes and standard drop-infees by 15 per cent, which would allowindividuals from lower-income familiesto be able to afford a chance to maintaina healthier lifestyle. This reduction in thecosts of the pass would allow youth to beinvolved more often and help facilitategreater opportunities to maintain healthylifestyles.

The other idea would be to changewhen the City of Burnaby hosts its physi-cal activities and ensure they are open attimes that are best for its citizens. Manyof the public or lower-cost activities, likethe public swim or the public skate, startwhen many youth are either in school orat a job helping to earn money for theirfamilies or their personal use.

City council and the parks board shouldcommit to discussions with stakeholdersto ensure that user groups and the publicat large are both able to use city facilitiesto the best of their abilities, and allow forgreater use by youth who can take theopportunity to maintain or improve theirlifestyles.

The savings can be measured beyondsimple savings to the health-care budgetin British Columbia; it can and should bemeasured through the ability of our youthto enjoy their lives more, and for longerthan they otherwise would.

Residents upsetas trees felledfor new condos

WhenTimHellerboughta house on 16th Avenuein Burnaby 12 years ago,he was happy to settle ina neighbourhood wherethere were still many oldtrees in the area. Today,he is upset because manyof these trees are beingcut down to make way forcondo development.

“I’ve seen so many firsgo down inthis area,” hesaid, point-ing to a pile offallen branchesat the corner of16th Avenueand 17th StreetonWednesday.“They couldhave saved a whole row,but they didn’t bother.If this was Victoria, thiswouldn’t happen. Like thisone on the corner, whycouldn’t they leave thisone?”

The private lot at theend of the street is near acreek, and until recently,there were houses nestledon the property betweenseveral stands of old trees.

Heller and a few otherresidents stood watching

from the street as a crew ofconstruction workers usedchainsaws and a backhoeto clear the site for futuredevelopment.

The property, whichspans from Stride Avenueto 16th Avenue between17th Street in Burnaby isprivately owned. Hellersaid he understands sometrees need to come outif the owner intends todevelop the property, buthe and other neighbours

want someconsiderationgiven to theaesthetic valueof the naturalgrowth.

“ T h e ytreat trees ase x p e n d a b l ecommodities,”

said Jill Finney, who livesacross the street from theproperty being cleared.“They should have to saywhy we have to take thetrees out.”

The City of Burnabyhas plans to re-establishByrne Creak, which runsalongside the property inquestion, according to thecity’s landscape develop-ment technician, GeoffGooderham.

While some trees might

have been left in place with-out hampering construc-tion of the new housingdevelopment, the decisionto remove many of the treeswas based on the need tomake room for the water-way, said Gooderham.

“It’s about re-establish-ing Byrne Creek,” he said.

The creek currently runsunderground in one sec-tion, and the city has plansto uncover it in order tore-establish it as a naturalfeature in the area.

The city is currentlyreviewing its tree bylawand is planning to holdpublic consultations thisyear, with a final report tobe sent to council expectedthis fall.

Timber: From left, Tim Heller and neighbour Jill Finney are frustrated all the trees are being cut down to make roomfor condo development.

Assessment Agency announced in theMarch 29 federal budget. The TransMountain pipeline, which has been inplace since the `50s, can handle a maxi-mum daily capacity of 300,000 barrels perday. If fully twinned, the line could trans-port up to 700,000 barrels per day.

The line has an existing right-of-way,

but the company has suggested the twinline may take another route.

The meeting will include presentationson the economy, ecology, First Nationsrights, and health concerns, followed by apublic discussion, Muxlow said.

The meeting will be held on Wednesday,April 11, at 6:30 p.m. at the Abbotsfordcampus of the University of the FraserValley.

Rino Cioffi is known as the unofficialmayor of Hastings Street, having run hispopular meat and Italian food store therefor several generations.

But on Tuesday, the owner of Cioffi’sMeat Market and Deli – at two locationsin the 4100 block of Hastings – got a nastysurprise when three people succeeded instealing $1,365 from his till by distracting acashier. The incident occurred at 1:30 p.m.

According to Cioffi, two women and aman spent more than three minutes dis-tracting a female cashier. The trio had got-ten a hold of a set of keys and were tryingto get the cash drawer open.

“We have it all on video surveillance,”said Cioffi. “It looks like they cased us

out. They were trying everything to gether away from the till and they were evenordering food.”

Cioffi said it’s the first time his store hasfallen victim to such a cash-and-grab. He’sturned over the video footage to the policeand his insurance company and wants toget the word out to other business own-ers so they don’t fall victim to this type oftheft.

“Our cashier had no clue what washappening,” said Cioffi. “And they got somuch money because it was just before wewere supposed to go to the bank.”

Cpl. Rick Skolrood of the BurnabyRCMP confirmed that Cioffi had filed areport and that officers were looking intothe case.

CRIME IN THE CITY

Assault on bus driver getsman conditional sentence

A man convicted of assaulting a busdriver in Burnaby last year has beenhanded an 18-month conditional sen-tence, plus two years probation.

Del Louie, who was 21 at the timeof the offence, attacked Coast Mountainbus driver Charles Dixon, 55, on a busnear Edmonds Station on Feb. 15 lastyear. Dixon was left with a black eye andrequired surgery (that placed a plate andscrews in his face) after he asked Louienot to board his bus via the back doors.

In front of a packed Vancouver court-room, the judge said she considered therecent Supreme Court of Canada rulingasking judges to consider the backgroundcircumstances of aboriginal offenders insentencing.

Louie, 22, who is half First Nations (onhis mother’s side) apologized to Dixonfor the assault and revealed he was drunkat the time of the incident. He was diag-

nosed with FASD and was exposed toviolence and substance abuse early in hischildhood, according to his pre-sentencereport.

But the Crown pointed out that thiswas the second time Louie had been con-victed of assault. He previously attackeda bus female driver, spitting in her face,and he has twice breached his bail condi-tions.

Dixon, who was sat in the courtroomfor the sentencing with bandages on hisface from his most recent surgery, sayshe is still feeling the effects of the violentsucker punch.

Dixon - who has been targeted 14 timesover the course of his 25 years as a driver– has not worked since the attack.

There have been more than 1,000attacks on bus drivers in the past decade,according to the Crown.

Are we prepared to handle a major oil spill in Burrard Inlet? WesternCanada Marine Response Corporation is the private Burnaby-basedcompany in charge of oil spill cleanup for the West Coast. Thecompany is bracing for more marine traffic, some related to KinderMorgan’s expansion plans for the Trans Mountain pipeline.

Kinder Morgan is movingforward with expansion plansfor the Trans Mountain pipe-line, raising the spectre of moreoil tanker traffic in the BurrardInlet. But are we ready for theassociated risks? Burnaby NOWreporter Jennifer Moreau looksat the response plan for a majoroil spill.

◆

Trevor Davis was having lunch onJuly 24, 2007, when he heard the heli-copters and sirens.

It was his first month on the job asoperations supervisor with WesternCanada Marine Response Corporation, thecompany in charge of oil spill cleanup for

the West Coast ofCanada.

At first, hethought nothingof the commotion.Then a co-workersaid somethingwas happening,and Davis got thecall: There was aspill of some sort.

A city-hired contractor had broken apipeline while digging along Inlet Drive.A 20- to 30-metre geyser of oil sprayed forabout 25 minutes, coating nearby homesin crude. The thick, black oil was runningdownhill into a storm drain and comingout underwater in the Burrard Inlet.

“We boomed it immediately,” Davissays. “It went on for three months at least.… Even a couple of years later, oil was stillcoming out of that drain,” Davis says. “It’sall gone now.”

In all, 224,000 litres of crude escaped,and, according to Kinder Morgan, 210,000litres were recovered. The cleanup tookmonths and cost roughly $15 million, notincluding the money Kinder Morgan paidfor the damaged homes.

For Davis, the hours were long, and itwas “challenging,” but he considers it thebest oil spill response training he couldget.

Western Canada Marine ResponseCorporation (formerly known as BurrardClean) is preparing for more marine traf-fic. Enbridge is proposing a new pipelineup north, and Kinder Morgan is mov-ing ahead with expansion plans for theTrans Mountain line, with its terminus inBurnaby. Both would bring more oil fromAlberta to the West Coast, and both wouldmean more tankers in Canadian waters.

“We’re always bracing. There’s moreequipment coming,” Davis says. “We’realways trying to look at what we’ve got, isit ready? Are we in the right place?”

How WCMRC beganBurrard Clean started as an oil indus-

try co-op in 1976; companies pooled theirmoney to create a response team in theevent of a spill, but in 1995, changes tothe Canada Shipping Act required theybecome federally certified as WesternCanada Marine Response Corporation.

Transport Canada, which regulates oilspill prevention and response, certified

WCMRC to handle the entire West Coastof B.C. in the event of an oil spill. In thecompany’s 35-year history, there has neverbeen a major oil spill with marine trafficin the Burrard Inlet. (The Kinder Morganspill is considered “land-based” eventhough the oil ran into the water.)

“The chance of an oil spill in Vancouveris greater than everywhere else,” Davissays. “You’ve got more traffic here.”

What happens whenthere is a spill?

Ships and tankers of a certain weightneed to have a pre-arranged agreementwith WCMRC to clean up the mess in caseof a spill, and the polluter pays. The major-ity of WCMRC customers are freightersand tankers.

A typical cleanup usually starts with acall to the WCMRC pager, which some-

one from the company carries at all times.There’s a list of questions: What spilled?Where? How much?

“If someone says it’s 100 litres, it’s prob-ably 1,000,” Davis says. “People generallyunderreport.”

Davis is in charge of getting the properequipment mobilized. WCMRC has 28vessels strategically placed along the WestCoast, 13 of which are for the VancouverHarbour. There is also a warehouse full ofequipment with various types of booms,skimmers, absorbent materials and amobile home converted into a commandstation.

According to government regulation,WCMRC must be able to clean up 10,000tonnes of spilled oil, roughly equivalent to60,000 to 80,000 barrels, but the companyestimates it could probably handle a spillmore than twice that size. The largest tank-ers that currently enter Vancouver ports

are Afromax, which carry 650,000 barrelsof oil, and the most WCMRC could handlewould be an estimated 160,000 barrels– roughly a quarter.

But the chances of a tanker losing itsentire cargo seem very slim, accordingto Davis. All tankers that enter Canadianwaters are double-hulled, and they havemultiple chambers, so if one area breaks,the ship’s whole cargo doesn’t leak.

“To rip the guts out of the entire ship,that’s not how they are designed, that’s notgoing to happen,” Davis says.

WCMRC has 22 full-time staff, but thereare roughly 500 backup responders, usu-ally fishermen or mariners who receiveannual training to help in the event of amajor spill. Part of the response involveseveryone keeping their mouths shut.

“We tell all the contractors on a spill:don’t talk to the media,” Davis says. “An

assigned media rep canhandle that role.”

There doesn’t seem tobe any formal way of alert-ing the public. The partyresponsible for the spillmay assign a spokespersonto handle the press, andthe public would typicallylearn of a spill through thenews.

It’s difficult to say howmuch oil is usually recov-ered, since that dependson a myriad of factors: thetype of oil, the equipmentused, the timeliness of theresponse and the weather,for instance. Crude tends tostick around longer, whilelighter fuels may evaporate.

The recovered materialsgo to Newalta, a companythat treats the wastewaterand separates the oil andsells it back on the market.

WCMRC handles, onaverage, 20 spills a year.Most are small; some typi-cal examples include sink-ing boats or falling forkliftswith petroleum products.

What’s ahead?According to projections

from Ian Anderson, presi-dent of Kinder MorganCanada, tanker crude traf-fic could increase to 288annual arrivals by 2016,should the pipeline expand.That’s much higher than71 in 2010 and 34 in 2011.Anderson has also raisedthe possibility of Suezmaxtankers arriving, whichcarry one million barrels.

Kinder Morgan wouldhave to consult the publicand get regulatory approv-al before expanding theWestridge Marine Terminaland the Second Narrowschannel would need to bedredged to make way forlarger tankers.

“It’s very tight in theSecond Narrows, but thewhole coast is a challenge,”Davis says. “But more deepsea freighters are comingthrough here.”

Port Metro Vancouveroversees safety on thewaters, and there arenumerous procedures fortankers, including tugboatescorts, inspections andclose monitoring.

But environmentalist

Ben West, spokesperson forthe Wilderness Committee,still has concerns.

“It’s not a matter of ifthere’s going to be a spill,it’s a matter of when,” Westsays. “Ultimately it comesdown to human error.

“If you ever want tolook at how prepared weare, the auditor general ofCanada issued a report ayear and a half ago thatsaid we were woefully

unprepared to deal withan oil spill on the WestCoast of Canada,” he says.“That was with the existingtanker traffic, thatwasn’t a referenceto the Enbridgeproposal or theKinder Morganexpansion.”

Transport Canadamakes sure private cleanupcompanies, like WCMRC,are ready to handle a spill,

but the 2010 report Westcited states that there is nosimilar process in place tomake sure the Coast Guard

– the lead federalagency – is readyto handle its partof a cleanup.

The auditorgeneral’s report

listed several recom-mendations to improveCanada’s oil spill response,including better risk assess-

ments, updated emer-gency management plansand exercises and betterdocumentation. And whileEnvironment Canada, theCoast Guard and TransportCanada agreed, the auditorgeneral has not yet done afollowup report.

But WCMRC is ready,according to regulations.

“We’re quite wellbeyond our legislatedcapacity,” says Bruce

Turnbull, the company’sbusiness support man-ager. “We anticipate thatcapacity in the future willincrease. We are continuingto build capacity whereverwe can, but we have toget it authorized by ourboard. We have to put infee increases and get itgazetted.”

In the meantime, thecompany is adding to itsfleet and equipment.

There are five major oil-handling facilities in theBurnaby/Tri-Cities area ofthe Burrard Inlet.

KINDERMORGAN

Tankers fill up withcrude at Kinder Morgan’sWestridge MarineTerminal. About 27 percent of the Trans Mountain300,000 daily barrels of oilgoes out over the dock,which is roughly 81,000barrels of oil per day onaverage.

For every 10 tankersthat leave Westridge, eightgo to California, one goesto the Gulf Coast and onegoes to China, althoughAsian exports are expectedto increase with risingdemand for Canadiancrude abroad.

CHEVRONOf the four Burrard

Inlet area refineries,Chevron’s is the only onethat is still operating as arefinery – the rest are nowdistribution terminals.

Chevron gets its crudefrom Alberta via theKinder Morgan pipelineand makes 50,000 to 55,000barrels of jet fuel, diesel,gasoline, asphalts, heat-ing fuels, heavy fuel oils,butanes and propane eachday. About half of thatis shipped via Chevron’smarine loading wharf.

Products Terminal, whichwas a refinery until 1993.

The terminal straddles theBurnaby-Port Coquitlamborder, on the south sideof Burrard Inlet. Most ofthe facility’s petroleumproducts are from theAlberta oil sands andarrive already refined viathe Kinder Morgan pipe-line.

Suncor distributes theproducts on land (by trainand truck) and on watervia barges. Most of theirproducts are for domesticuse.

SHELLShell used to

run a refinery inNorth Burnabyuntil 1993, butnow the site is adistribution terminal atthe end of KensingtonAvenue. (WesternCanada Marine ResponseCorporation leases a build-ing onsite to run its opera-tions.)

The ShellburnDistribution Terminal hasa dock where two to threevessels arrive per week;they are mostly bargesdropping off product.

Shellburn gets its petro-leum products alreadyrefined – via rail, barge orship – but does not use theKinder Morgan pipeline.The products come from

the U.S. and Alberta.Barges can also load up

with products, like die-sel, jet fuel and gasoline.Most of their products arefor the Lower Mainlandmarket, but they cater tosome overseas customersas well.

IOCOIoco (short for Imperial

Oil Company) has a dis-tribution terminal in PortMoody, on the North sideof the Burrard Inlet.

The terminal, whichwas a refineryuntil 1995, storesbulk petroleumproducts that aredistributed viatruck and on a

marine loading terminal.The main products

are marine bunker fuel,marine diesel, asphalt andbulk lubricants.

Almost all of Ioco’sproducts arrive via railcarand are stored in tanksbefore being loaded ontrucks or barges.

A spokesperson forImperial Oil, also knownas Esso, said the terminalserves “Metro Vancouverand beyond” but declinedto provide informationon where the petroleumcomes from.

Ever since it was formed in 1990, RoyalCity Musical Theatre has always workedto provide chances for young and aspir-ing performers to work alongsideexperienced professionals.

This year is no exception –and, as Hello, Dolly! takes to theMassey Theatre stage in NewWestminster starting April 12,two young Burnaby performersare among those enjoying theride.

Damon Jang and Angela Kingappear in the dance ensemblefor the classic musical, whichstars veteran profession-als Colleen Winton and DavidAdams as Dolly Levi and HoraceVandergelder.

“It’s wonderful,” says King, a 19-year-oldwho’s studying biological sciences at SimonFraser University. “You learn so much justfrom watching Colleen and David perform.They’re such nice people, and super-sweet.Being able to watch them, from what theystarted with to the final product, is justamazing.”

For Jang, a 26-year-old who’s carvingout a career in the world of the theatre,the chance to work alongside people like

Winton and Adams is one of the appeals ofRoyal City Musical Theatre.

He points out that it’s not often youget to work with such a mix of performers– in this show, there’s a dance ensemble, anon-dance ensemble, a kids’ chorus and theleads, who include both emerging youngtalents and the veterans.

“Working with Colleen and David andsome of the more experienced profession-als, and working with the up-and-coming

artists – it’s a nice balance,” hesays, adding he learns a lot fromwatching Winton’s and Adams’rehearsal process.

At the other end of the spec-trum, he’s also enjoying watchingthe kids rehearse.

“It’s great because all of themhave such good, professional atti-tudes,” he says.

Jang says he appreciates direc-tor Valerie Easton’s skill in bring-ing together people of many dif-ferent experience and ability lev-els.

That’s especially true in the big dancenumbers – which, he notes, are one of thethings that sets Royal City Musical Theatreapart from other companies.

Easton’s choreography makes the mostof everyone’s abilities, he says.

“It’s complicated, but not overly compli-cated,” he says, noting Easton gives thosewith higher skill levels a chance to sparkleand those with less experience a chance tolearn from the others.

King agrees, noting that some of thenumbers – notably the one with the suit-able title of Dancing – are full of lifts andpartner work that demands a great deal ofthe dancers.

Mind you, she’s up to the task – she’sbeen dancing since she was eight, and,when she’s not at her studies at SFU, she’salso a dance teacher at Douglas BalletAcademy.

Both young performers are also happyto have a chance to perform in one of theclassics of musical theatre.

“I think it’s always great to do workthat is classic and fun,” Jang says. “It’s soaccessible to so many people.”

King points out that, as an addedbonus, much of the music from Hello,Dolly! has become familiar to a new gen-eration thanks to its inclusion in the Pixaranimated movie Wall-E.

“Even younger generations now will beable to relate to it,” she points out.

Throw in the usual ingredients of aRoyal City Musical Theatre production – afull orchestra, stunning costumes by ChrisSinosich, colourful sets by Omanie Elias– and you’ve got yourself a night that bothJang and King say should appeal to peopleof all ages.

For Jang, being able to offer up pureentertainment is something that’s criticalin today’s world.

“When your world is so fraught withfinancial crisis and personal stress … it’snice to go a nice Broadway musical andbe uplifted,” he says. “It’s nice to go to atheatre and forget all of that for a coupleof hours.”

Burnaby’s 2011 Citizen of the Year,Kehar Singh Aujla, is a very busy man.

Aujla, who emigrated from India withhis wife in 1996, began volunteering inBurnaby a decade later.

“While I was a security guard, I wastrying to decide what to do after I retired,”he said in a phone interview Tuesday,adding he began volunteering with theBurnaby Hospital Foundation in 2006after he retired.

Now, Aujla volunteers for nine organi-zations and multiple events, as well.

It makes for a very busy schedule,but Aujla said the positive response hereceives from those he workswith keeps him energized.

“The people with whomI work, they appreciated mywork, that was actually myincentive,” he said. “All thetime, I get this appreciation, soI love to get that.”

Aujla volunteers near-ly every day of the weekat the Sikh Temple of theKhalsa Diwan Society inNew Westminster; with Citizen SupportServices as a shopping buddy for thosewho need assistance on Mondays; at theinformation desk at Burnaby Hospitalon Wednesdays; at the Burnaby VillageMuseum on Thursdays, and as a volun-teer grandparent for a family with threeyoung children on Saturdays.

Their grandparents live in Toronto andJapan, he explained.

“I have my grandchildren – here, andin England and India,” Aujla said. “Butat the same time I am their (this family’s)grandparent, as their grandparents arenot here.”

Fridays he is at home, he said, to helpanyone who needs him outside his regularvolunteering hours.

In between, Aujla also volunteers forthe Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, theBreast Cancer Foundation and the SikhSeva Foundation – a charitable organiza-tion that he joined a few months ago.

“They want to do some volunteer work

in the community, and they needed some-one who has got experience volunteer-ing,” Aujla explained.

Aujla is in high demand as a volunteer,so much so that one of his character refer-ences for his Burnaby Village Museumvolunteer position urged them to call himright away.

“When I went there, they said I neededtwo references,” he said, adding that hegave his bank manager as one reference.

“When they called her, you know whatshe said? ‘Grab the person, he should notgo away, otherwise you will lose. Grab theperson.’”

Immediately he was selected for theinterview.

He plans to keep up the pace as long ashe can, he said.

Aujla was very happy abouthis nomination for the KushiroCup 2011 Citizen of the Year.

“You cannot imagine howmuch I am excited,” he said.

Aujla was chosen by theCity’s Kushiro Cup selectioncommittee, and the decisionwas passed by council atMonday night’s meeting.

Coun. Anne Kang, chair ofthe committee, called Aujla an outstand-ing citizen.

“We feel he truly deserves this awardfor the time, energy and enthusiasm hecommits to his community,” she said atthe meeting.

Aujla had an incredible resume andwas very deserving of the award, MayorDerek Corrigan said.

“It’s always a hard choice, but it soundslike this year, the choice made itself,” hesaid.

This may be the first time the honourhas gone to a recent immigrant, accordingto Coun. Pietro Calendino, a member ofthe selection committee.

“We’re all very grateful he’s a citizen ofBurnaby,” he added.

The Kushiro Cup will be presented toAujla at the annual volunteer appreciationdinner on May 4.

Last year, seniors’ advocate GloriaKravac won the award.

Easter is one of thespecial times of theyear when our whole

family gets together.The cherished relation-

ships we have with eachother are rekindled, andwe celebrate with food anddrink.

Two of our most popu-lar side dishes with anEaster dinner are garlicmashed potatoes andhomemade brandied cran-berry sauce, so I sharethese recipes with you.

Please make note thatpotatoes that are steamed,instead of boiled, arealways better in mashedpotatoes as they don’tabsorb as much water,which has no flavour.

Side dishes are neverthe “star of the plate,” butthese will be a close sec-ond. Enjoy.

GARLIC MASHEDPOTATOES

These will spoil you for

any other mashed potatoes– very rich and flavourful.

5 russet potatoes, peeledand diced in approximate-ly one-half inch pieces1/2 (one-half) cup butter,cubed6 to 8 garlic cloves,crushed2 tsp salt1/2 (one half) tsp pepper1/2 (one half) cup whip-ping cream

Steam potatoes overboiling water for approxi-mately 20 minutes untiltender.

Drain water out of thepot, and put cooked pota-toes in the pot.

Add the butter, garlic,salt and pepper.

Mash by hand untilalmost smooth.

Add the cream andmash again until smooth.

Taste and re-seasonwith salt and pepper ifnecessary.

Makes approximatelysix to eight portions.

BRANDIEDCRANBERRY SAUCEVery intense flavour

– a homemade cranberrysauce to be proud of.

1 340g package fresh cran-

berries (approximately 3.5cups)1/2 (one half) cup packeddark brown sugar1/2 (one half) cup brandy2 cinnamon sticks, brokenin halfzest of 1 lemon, finelychopped pinch of salt

Combine all ingredientsin a heavy bottomed medi-um-sized pot. Turn heat tomedium-high and bring toa boil uncovered.

Once boiling, reducethe heat to medium andcontinue to cook mixturefor approximately 10 to 15minutes until desired con-sistency is reached, whileoccasionally stirring andmashing berries with awooden spoon.

Remove from the heat;transfer the sauce into adifferent container andcool in the refrigerator.Once cooled, remove thecinnamon sticks and serve.

Makes approximatelytwo cups.

Flavourful side dishesfor an Easter meal

According to Vancouver dietitian GloriaTsang, author of the new book Go UnDiet:50 Small Actions for Lasting Weight Loss andfounder of nutrition network HealthCastle.com, choosing the right chocolate eggs canreduce the health impact of your kids’Easter egg hunt.

“Many big brands produce chocolateeggs specifically for the Easter season,”Tsang said in a press release. “Since par-ents are buying products they don’t buythe rest of the year, they may not havechecked out the ingredients of each prod-uct.”

Here are HealthCastle.com’s top itemsto watch for when buying chocolate eggs:◆ Sugar: You know chocolate eggs containsugar. But you might be surprised that all

brands reviewed contain more sugar thancocoa. The key source of sugar is often acandy shell.◆ Artificial dyes: Colourful candy shellscontain dye, of course. But some containtartrazine (aka Yellow No. 5 in the U.S.),which may cause hyperactivity in somekids.◆ Artificial flavour and wax. Yes, wax.Many branded chocolates use wax in theirformulas. Look for brands that skip this“extra” ingredient. The best course ofaction is to buy chocolate eggs from a localchocolate shop, where you’re likely to findmore real chocolate and less sugar, dyeand other artificial ingredients. If you’rebuying chocolate eggs at the grocery store,look for brands with no candy shell.

Canadian Blood Services is looking for local donorsthis Easter long weekend.

The national non-profit group has set a target of 94donors for a Burnaby clinic on Sunday, April 8, to meethospital demand. They need 40 more donors to reach thattarget.

Since it takes many donors to treat one patient, the 40donors represent the needs of five leukemia patients forone week.

According to Canadian Blood Services, long weekendscan be a difficult time of year to collect blood, becausepeople are out of their normal routines, going out of townor visiting family.

The clinic will be at Burnaby North Secondary School,751 Hammarskjold Dr., on Sunday, April 8, from 10:30a.m. to 5 p.m. Healthy people 17 or older can donate bloodevery 56 days. First-time donors older than 61 and regulardonors older than 71 need to get their doctor’s permissionto donate.

Call 1-888-236-6283 or visit www.blood.ca for moreinformation or to book an appointment to donate. It’sbest to make an appointment to help reduce lineups andwaiting times.

It’s a welcome addition to a close-knitcommunity.

Community Savings held a ribbon-cut-ting ceremony on Tuesday to show off itsnewest branch in Burnaby Heights.

Mayor Derek Corrigan, along withCommunity Savings president and chiefexecutive officer Doug Eveneshen helpedcut the ribbon to usher in the new financialinstitution to North Burnaby.

The branch is on the site of a formerMcDonald’s restaurant that had closeddown, with the restaurant relocating fur-ther east along Hastings. The old buildingwas rife with graffiti and was a neighbour-hood eyesore until the redevelopment ofthe Firma building on that site.

Coun. Pietro Calendino is a NorthBurnaby resident who welcomes the addi-tion of the new financial institution to thearea.

“It’s a beautiful building, a really nice

branch,” said Calendino. “It’s a lovely greataddition to the area.”

The branch itself offers services such as afree coin counting machine, a $2 unlimitedchequing account and the second largestbank machine network in the province. Inaddition, the branch has a modern look,and instead of traditional stand-up coun-ters, the service area offers comfy chairsand privacy dividers for customers to dotheir banking.

Also as part of Tuesday’s festivi-ties, Burnaby Family Life and BurnabyCommunity Connections each receiveda charitable donation of $2,500 fromCommunity Savings.

On May 5, Community Savings willbe hosting a block party from 10 a.m. to 3p.m. for all its neighbours in the BurnabyHeights, with events such as children’sentertainment, a barbecue, an outdoor café,tours of the vault and prizes. For more info,go to www.FirmaBlockParty.com.

The branch is located on the corner ofHastings and Alpha.

When the originalMercedes-Benz SLK-Class convertible

debuted in 1996, it redefinedthe convertible market. With asharp design, retractable hardtoproof and excellent attention todetail, the diminutive roadsterhad style written all over it. Itwasn’t perfect, but over the eightyears of its existence Mercedes-Benz refined it into a superbautomobile. As first attempts go,the SLK was an unquestionedsuccess.

Released in 2004, the sec-ond-generation SLK raised thebar significantly with an exte-rior design inspired by the SLRMcLaren supercar, more cutting-edge technology and improvedperformance. While the originalSLK brought us a superb foldinghardtop, the followup focusedon open-air comfort with itsunique and useful Airscarf sys-tem, which pumps air out ofvents in the backs of the seats towarm passengers’ necks.

So, what newfangled innova-tion does the redesigned SLKbring to the table? Well, the first

model made it easier to drive aconvertible throughout the year,and the second one allowedfor top-down driving in colderweather. This time around,Mercedes-Benz has made it morefun to drive with the top up.

With a bold design and aslew of new features, the 2012SLK continues the pattern ofadding more style, more tech-nology, and more performance.However, the killer feature thatsets this car apart from the com-petition is the impressive newMagic Sky Roof. Available asan option, the Magic Sky Roofbrings a new twist to the retract-able hardtop, adding a panoram-ic glass panel that can be leftcompletely transparent, or dark-ened at the touch of a button.

As a result, owners of thenew SLK can have their cake andeat it, too. Drop the top whenthe weather is good. When it’stoo cold, too wet or too fast, theglass roof leaves the car feelingalmost as open without compro-mising comfort. If you’ve hadenough sun for the day, darkenthe roof to create a closed-incoupe feel.

Is the Magic Sky Roof a goodreason to buy the SLK? In a

word, yes. While it can’t matchthe performance of the BMWZ4 and Porsche Boxster, or thecarefree fun of a Mazda MX-5,no other convertible offers the

year-round, all-weather comfortof the SLK.

If style, innovation, and flex-ibility are high on your list, thenthis is the roadster for you.

DesignThere’s no mistaking the

SLK’s striking design, which

D

begins with a broad and flatfront fascia borrowed from theSLS AMG coupe. The long hoodretains the centreline bulgeinspired by the SLR McClaren,but the car feels otherwise entire-ly new.

Moving toward the rear, theharder lines give way to smooth-er curves and a short rear deckthat doesn’t entirely match withthe blunt-nosed front end. As aresult, the SLK sometimes feelslike two different cars, dependingon where you stand.

The interior adopts a retro-futuristic look that owes muchto the circular, chrome air ventsprotruding from the dashboard.Six different upholstery choicesenable owners to customize theroadster to their personal tastes,ranging from warm browns tobusiness-like greys.

PerformanceThe SLK is initially available

with a 3.5L V6 producing 302-hp and 273 lb-ft of torque, alongwith Mercedes-Benz’s fantasticseven-speed automatic.

That’s more than enoughpower for the compact SLK,which strives to balance perfor-mance and comfort.

Handling and ride quality areboth improved over the previousmodel, making the SLK easierto drive, smoother, and quieter.However, the steering feels a bitnumb and artificial at times.

You might say that the SLKfeels more like a sports sedanthan a sports coupe, and that’sa compliment. Mercedes-Benz’sengineers have provided theroadster with a wonderful blendof comfort and athleticism, guar-anteeing that it never feels tooharsh or too soft.

Drivers can also feel goodabout the long list of safety fea-tures, including the adaptivebrake system that works in thebackground to ensure maximumstopping power when you needit.

EnvironmentButtons and switches on the

dashboard and steering wheelare logically placed, but theresure are a lot of them. It’s great,however, to see the LCD screenmounted at the top of the dashwhere it can be seen with a quickglance.

It should be no surprise thatpassenger space is minimal, butthe comfortable and supportiveseats make up for the cramped

space. Cargo room is similarlylimited, though Mercedes-Benzhas done its best to make thesmall trunk usable.

Another new feature in theSLK is the standard AttentionAssist system, which detectswhen the driver is drowsy andwarns of overtiredness. Manypeople feel that driving tired is asdangerous as driving intoxicated,and it’s great to see Mercedes-Benz taking steps to prevent it.

Unlike some cars, the SLK

isn’t capable of parking itself.However, the Parktronic guid-ance system is the next best thing,measuring the length of parkingspaces as the car passes by andproviding diagrams to help thedriver parallel park.

FeaturesThe SLK 350 sells for $66,500

and will eventually be joined bythe SLK 250 and SLK 55 AMGvariants.

Standard equipment includes

ABS, stability control, AttentionAssist, automatic A/C, tilt/tele-scope steering, power-deployingrollover bar, rain-sensing wipers,CD audio system, Bluetooth, andfront/side/knee/head airbags.

Options include the DistronicPlus accident-avoidance system,GPS navigation, DVD changer,Magic Sky roof, carbon-fibre orwood trim, keyless-go starter,and steering-mounted shiftpaddles. A separate PremiumPackage adds the harmon/kar-don LOGIC7 surround-soundsystem and panoramic varioroof, as well as the Parktronic,Airguide and Airscarf features.

Fuel efficiency for the four-cylinder SLK 250 is rated at9.1L/100km in the city and6.1L/100km on the highway.

Mary KellerMarch 25th, 1924 – March 29th, 2012

Mom passed peacefully after a lengthy stay inLangley Memorial Hospital. Predeceased by herhusband Harry and granddaughter Kylie, Maryleaves behind her children Brad (Marilyn), Chris(Harold), Kim (Jim), and Bruce. Also saddenedby her passing are grandchildren Mary-Ellen,and Eric (Courtney), and Jennifer and great-grandchildren James, Lillian, Jessica, Cameron,Asia, Finnley and Reid.

Mary was born in Cabbagetown, ON, served as aWAC during WWII, and was a founding memberof Kanata Coop in Vancouver where she lived for 36 years. She made manyfriends there who will sorely miss her. Mary devoted her life to helping others,particularly single parents. A single parent herself, she arrived in Vancouver byway of Ontario and California in 1965 with her children in tow.

She went to school in her early 40’s to become a social worker and spent manyyears at Frog Hollow Community Center helping families stay together. Hermotto was “family is the most important thing in the world”. Always livingher dreams, she was a cook in firefighters and oil rigging camps in NorthernBC, drove the Alaska Highway with her cousin Christine, rode in a hot airballoon, backpacked by herself in her mid-sixties to find her roots in Ireland,got a tattoo while in Germany on her 75th birthday, and took two teenagedgrandchildren to Strathcona Park to rock climb and track cougars, just tomention a few of her wild and crazy journeys.

A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, April 7th from 2-4pm at KanataHall, 7155 Blake Street, Vancouver, B.C. Please call Chris 604-463-1242 orKim 778-228-8646 for details.

In lieu of flowers a donation to Wild Birds Unlimitedor WWF will be greatly appreciated.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections April 8 - 14, 2012★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: An investmentopportunity might appear Sunday – grab it. The samegoes for intimacy, a lifestyle change or commitment– seize change this day, with both hands. Wisdomand a mellow mood flow over you Monday/Tuesday,which helps reduce the irritation early Mondayafternoon. Aim for far travel, intellectual matters thiseve and Tuesday. Your career, business, ambitionsand prestige meet good luck Thursday/Friday, butyou might have to turn away from friends. (This willbe a theme for a few years: friends or success.)Friends, flirting, hope and popularity, Friday night,Saturday!Taurus April 20-May 20: Continue to lie low, rest,contemplate and plan. You’re weaker than usual(physically, but also in competitive situations) butfriends or allies are supportive, and you’ll succeedin government-related tasks. Fulfill old obligations,clear your “work pile” for future action (to comeApril 19 onward). I have repeatedly told you thiswas your lucky year (to June) – but you might haveexperienced it more as a time of upheaval andchange. The upheaval itself is lucky – you’ll see, inretrospect. Meanwhile, another surge of luck andchange awaits in late April, and May. Plan ahead!Gemini May 21-June 20: Wishes might be fulfilledin health, support, government-related, welfare, sleepand similar zones. (Geminis are insomnia-prone.) Thisweek, wishes can also come true in work Sunday, inrelationships, relocation and negotiations Monday/Tuesday (weaker), in investments, finances andsexual intimacy Thursday/Friday (but take care: lookat the long-term “likelihoods”) and in love, travel,intellectual, cultural and legal zones Friday night/Saturday. Your popularity has been high for severalweeks. A love link might begin. Someone’s attracted.Realty, family matters shoot forward soon.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Remain ambitious– chase promotion, higher community status (politicsor humanitarian involvements the best route herethrough 2018). Mingle with big-wigs, etc. Sunday,you’re romantic, creative and prone to take lucky risks.Travelling a short distance, and/or communicating,boost your success. Tackle chores carefully Monday,with ease and confidence Tuesday. Relationshipsarise Wednesday to Friday morning – act before 2p.m. Thursday for best results. Keep an eye on thelong-term: most new bonds will likely break/fade byOctober. Mysteries, sensual urges come Friday eve,Saturday.Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Life’s mellow, easy. Your headand heart are filled with notions of love, far travel,educational or intellectual pursuits, cultural affairs.Last year your marriage planet began a seven-yearphase of successful love, one that can easily culminatein wedding your “equal.” Deception (1996-2011) isgone, and your sexual/sensual side now flows into aplace of sensitivity and “dreamy awareness.” Now toJune,Venus calls you to a light, playful love.This couldexpand June to mid-2013; it or a new love will fulfill adecade-long romantic wish. Now to late August, don’tplay the field.Virgo Aug.23-Sept. 22:Mysteries and opportunitiesstill surround you. Your career, under pressure forthe last year, receives two boons or gifts: 1) now toearly August, bosses, VIPs and parents favour you– even feel affection for you; and 2) June begins 12months of career luck and expansion. Still, neither ofthese is entirely safe while a bit of old karma hangsaround this zone – to August 30. (That great careerexpansion might entail leaving/losing one job.) Talk,write or travel Sunday. Home, real estate succeedMonday/Tuesday, but don’t invest Monday. Romancelures Wednesday/Thursday.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: The accent remains on vitalrelationships, Libra. Now to early August, love runsmuch more smoothly and sweetly – and themes ofmarriage or internationalism enter. From June onward(to mid-2013) great good luck is added to the brew.But until September, various subtle or unseen trapsor dead-ends might exist: so proceed, but carefully.A Gemini might attract you. (Until July 3, if he/she’s aGemini with a bad temper about recent 2010-11-12family/home disappointments, give it a pass.) All told,your best love will arise September 2012 onward.Romance calls Friday night, Saturday.Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Work. Chores are a bitoverwhelming, but the pressures will ebb late nextweek. This Friday, the winter’s subtle delays andholdovers in work end – chores will march to theirconclusion much more quickly in weeks/monthsahead. You’ll also be able to buy tools and equipmentwithout hesitation (lemons retreat from the field).Meanwhile, protect your health; eat and dresssensibly. Your energy and charisma step upwardnicely Sunday. Chase money Monday (carefullybefore 2:30 p.m.) and Tuesday (smooth).Wednesday/Thursday promote friendships, travel, news. Be homefor the weekend.Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Odd delays haveoccurred in your career or work zones for awhile.These end late this week, enabling you to chargeforward, especially with creative career/businessprojects. However, this “release” also means ahigher-up, who might have been containing his/heranger, now can let it loose – be diplomatic! Peerrelationships glow with affection now to August – andwith major luck June to mid-2013. Still, be cautious,aware until September: pitfalls might exist. (Perhapsa “honey trap.”) Same luck, same caution, applies topubic dealings, contracts, competitions, marriage.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Now to August, yourwork scene becomes a much more pleasant one. Co-workers show affection. From June to mid-2013, yourwork load expands mightily. But now through August,this entire area (work, chores, health, dependents,machinery) also contains subtle tests of your characterand morals, with pitfalls if you descend to unworthymotives. So: no temptations, no wishful thinking, noburying yourself in chores to escape other situations.Sunday’s hopeful, happy! Retreat, rest Monday/Tuesday. Your energy returns Wednesday onward.Decide who/what stays in your life, who/what goes.Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Sweet romantic feelingsarrive now to August. From June to mid-2013,optimism, camaraderie, major luck and joy will enterromantic situations. A major love affair is brewing!However, until late August, some subtle snares affectthis same zone. You can “insulate” yourself from thesepossible pitfalls by choosing your romantic partnerfrom your social group, or from some gathering – or byrefusing to become involved until September onward.Be ambitious Sunday. Your hopes, popularity soarMonday/Tuesday. Retreat, rest Wednesday/Thursday.Your charisma soars Friday eve, Saturday!Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Chase money wherever,whenever you can. Indecision and delays end Fridayin dealing with a partner or prospect (or ex-spouse)regarding a money situation. Your home, family andproperty interests are filled with luck and affectionnow to August. In June, a huge wave of additionalluck enters this area, to stay until mid-2013. Abeautiful baby could arrive.You might be wise to delayany family or property commitments, though, untilSeptember (2012) onward. Sunday’s mellow, loving.Be ambitious (but not competitive) Monday/Tuesday.Joy, hope, friends midweek. Retreat Friday eve.
