While the federal election is officially on,not everyone is pleased.

Peter Julian, the NDP incumbent nowrunning in NewWestminster-Burnaby,criticized Prime Minister Stephen Harp-er for calling the election early, after the writdropped last Sunday.

“Mr. Harper was really clear why he wasdoing it. He basically wants the taxpayers tosubsidize the Conservative attack ads. Ev-ery additional day the campaign is beingheld, you have half-a-million dollars paid

for by the taxpayers.That goes to subsidizethese Conservative attack adsthey’ll be running against theopposition parties,” Juliansaid. “Mr. Harper said, ‘I’mdoing this to save the taxpay-ers some money,’ and I thinkit’s blatantly false, and I thinkmost Canadians recognizethat.”

According to ElectionsCanada rules, if a candidatespends $100,000 on cam-paign expenses, 60 per cent of that will be re-imbursed, provided he or she secures at least

10 per cent of the vote. For political parties,the reimbursements cover 50 per cent of theexpenses, and party limits also increase tocover longer election periods.

The election officially started on Sunday,Aug. 2, and voting day is Oct.19, making it one of the lon-gest election periods in Ca-nadian history at 79 days, in-cluding election day.

The longer the election pe-riod, the more each candidatecan spend.

The NOW called all threelocal Conservative candidates,to ask what they thought ofthe early election call, but

none was available for a phone interview.

Fentanylsuspected inteen’sdeath

[email protected]

A 17-year-old Burnaby boy is dead af-ter he and a friend took party drugs po-lice believe were laced with fentanyl.

Jack Bodie was found unconsciouswith another teen in Shelley Park inVan-couver, near East Broadway andWood-land Drive, on Saturday, Aug. 1, accord-ing to a media release fromVancouverpolice.

Bodie and the other teen, 16, weretaken to Children’s Hospital, but Bod-ie never regained consciousness. He re-mained in grave condition until Mon-day, whenVancouver police announcedhe was taken off life support and haddied.

Bodie’s sister Grace and his fatherMark spoke with CBC this week abouthis death.

Mark told CBC he hopes his son’sdeath will bring attention to the dangersof fentanyl and recreational drug use.

Grace echoed her father’s message,adding that most teens often considerthemselves invincible and take unneces-sary risks.

According to theVancouver police, thetwo boys ingested fake Oxycontin, alsoknown as fake ’80s.

The pills were green with the num-ber 80 on them, and police believe theycontained Fentanyl, which is a powerfulpain medication that can be 80 to 100times more potent than morphine, ac-cording to the release.

Bodie’s overdose comes only days af-ter NewWestminster police respond-ed to three separate drug overdoses in aweek, one of which was fatal.

Investigators in NewWestminsterhaven’t confirmed whether fentan-yl caused the overdoses but have issuedwarnings about the dangers of usingdrugs of any kind.

Recently, in NorthVancouver, threepeople have died from overdoses investi-gators believe were caused by fentanyl.

The runner-up in Burn-aby’s last mayoral race wasawarded $68,000 last weekin a $1.37 million civil suitagainst a woman who rear-ended him with her car fiveyears ago.

Daren Hancott ran withthe Burnaby First Coalitionin last year’s municipal elec-tion and lost to Mayor Der-ek Corrigan by more than19,000 votes.

In B.C. Supreme Courtearlier this year, Hancott tes-tified he struggled with elec-tion events during the cam-paign because of lingeringeffects from the 2010 crash,including nausea, dizzinessand pain.

“He testified that he nev-er put in a long day,” statesthe ruling in the case hand-ed down by Justice Mar-got Fleming lastTuesday.“He took breaks and wouldgo home and lie down. …When he went out knockingdoor to door, he chose flatstreets.”

Hancott was rear-end-ed by Maple Ridge residentErin Barnes in Burnaby onJuly 27, 2010, and the for-mer mayoral candidate saidthe accident caused him tosuffer injuries to his neck,upper and mid back, his leftknee and left jaw, as well asheadaches, nausea and diz-ziness.

He sought nearly $1.25million from Barnes for lossof past and future wages;

$100,000 for pain and suf-fering; $14,000 in specialdamages, to cover costs likemassages, travel to treat-ments and gardening ser-vices; and $7,000 for cost offuture care, including medi-cations and stability devices.

Barnes’s lawyer,TimKushneryk, argued Han-cott’s injuries were not assevere or long lasting as heclaimed.

The defence lawyer usedHancott’s willingness to takeon the responsibilities ofmayor of Burnaby as evi-dence.

Bruce Friesen, chair ofthe Burnaby First campaign,testified Hancott was op-timistic about winning theelection for mayor and saidthe party would not have ac-

cepted him as their candi-date if he was not going todo everything possible towin.

Fleming’s judgment statesthat neither Fries-en nor BFC trust-ee candidate BenSeebaran, who alsotestified at the trial,was aware Hancottsuffered from nau-sea or dizziness.

When Hancottwas questionedin court about hismayoral bid, how-ever, Fleming de-scribed his answersas “almost coy.”

She used an exchange be-tween Kushneryk and Han-cott to illustrate her point.Kushneryk:So you recog-

nized that there was a chancethat you – that you could win.Hancott:Small, but yes.Kushneryk:You recognized

that the position of being may-or of Burnaby is aposition of high re-sponsibility?Hancott:From

what I can see,no.Kushneryk:And

sir, you would agreethat the mayor ofBurnaby, throughthe way he or shedoes his or her jobcan affect the lives ofthousands of people?Hancott: I’d say

more council that (sic) themayor, but in some ways, yes.Kushneryk:And the job of

mayor of Burnaby, that’s ademanding job that requires

the office holder to work longhours?Hancott: I’m not sure. I’ve

never been in that position.Fleming awarded Hancott

$68,000 for pain and suffer-ing but rejected his claimsfor lost wages – in part be-cause of his mayoral run.

“I infer from the positionshe testified to seeking andhis decision to enter poli-tics, that he regarded himselfas capable of fulfilling suchroles,” said Fleming in herruling.

Fleming also rejectedHancott’s $7,000 claim forcost of future care and someof the $14,000 in specialdamages, like gardening ser-vices, which Fleming foundwere already being provided

A Burnaby mom hopesswimming nearly 10 kilome-tres fromWestVan-couver to Kitsilanowill bring aware-ness and funds toher fledgling foun-dation.

GerdaWever isthe founder of thePARCY Foun-dation, a groupcreated to raiseawareness aboutconcurrent disor-ders after her ownson’s struggles with men-tal health issues and drugabuse.

On Saturday,Wever willjoin a handful of open-wa-ter swimmers in this year’sBay Challenge from Sandy

Cove inWestVancouver toKitsilano.The race is a firstforWever.The seasoned dis-tance runner was originallyplanning to run in a 60-kilo-

metre race in Rev-elstoke, but a bro-ken fibula threw awrench into thatplan.

Swimming andyoga were the onlytwo activities shewas allowed todo after breakingher leg, so she fig-ured she’d try herhand at open waterswimming.

“I’ve been swimming likea woman possessed,” shetold theNOW after return-ing from another practiceswim.

Wever has been trainingin lakes, swimming pools

and the ocean to prepareherself for the big swim.Her biggest challenge willbe reaching the safety cut-offs point within the time-frame laid out by race orga-nizers.The first cut-off is atabout the halfway mark, andshe has two hours to makeit there.

“I’m made for endurance,not for speed,” she laughed.

Wever said she’s excitedfor the opportunity to drawattention to her founda-tion and possibly raise somemoney in the process.

“I’m hoping to draw a lit-tle more attention to thefoundation because we’re

fairly new, we’re only abouta year old,” she said.

A longtime North Burn-aby resident wants to knowwhy the city decided to tearup blackberry bushes inConfederation Park in themiddle of berry season.

Retired longshoremanKen Erickson, who’s livedin the area since 1983, saidgrabbing a handful of ber-ries during his walks alongthe blackberry-flankedpaths north of the park’stennis courts is somethinghe looks forward to thistime of year.

“I just have a snack onthe way,” he told the NOW.“I’ve see other people comethere with containers andfill them up and take themhome.”

When he went to thepark last week, however, thebushes were gone.

“They’re torn right out,”Erickson said. “Every littlebit of them is ripped out ofthere. It’s right down to theground.”

He said there might be agood reason the city had towipe out the bushes, but of-ficials should have put upa sign to explain the move– especially at this time ofyear.

“My biggest objection isthey should have waited amonth until the berries weregone and after everybodyhad had their snacks for Au-gust, then that would havebeen the time to tear themout,” he said.

Unfortunately, howev-er, the best time for berries

is also the densest time forbrush, according to the city,and that’s a safety and secu-rity risk in parks.

“We are very sensitive tothe blackberry issue, we re-ally are,” Steve Bruneau, su-perintendent of parks oper-ations, told the NOW. “Weleave them up everywhere,but there are certain areas,for safety-security, we needto cut them down.”

One of those spots is thesection of ConfederationPark, close to the Beta Av-enue parking lot, where theblackberry bushes were de-stroyed last week.

“We get a lot of theft,”Bruneau said. “We get a lotof needles.What we cleaned

out of this area here, for ex-ample, in this go around,they got a kitchen sink, skis;they got steel, burnt copperwire; you got tires, blankets,bikes, clothing, car seats.They find all kinds of stuffin there.”

Dense brush close to theparking lot provides po-tential cover for thieves, hesaid.

“People sit in the bushand they watch you leave,”he said. “You’ve got yourpicnic chairs and your blan-ket and your cooler, andyou head down for a pic-nic in the park. As soon asyou’re about 30, 40 secondsaway, they know you’re notcoming back, and, boomboom boom, they break theglass and take your stuff.”

The city aims to cleardense brush in high-risk ar-eas every year, Bruneausaid, and crews went intoConfederation Park in Sep-tember last year.

What’sonyourelectionwish-list?Here we are, less than a

week into the federal elec-tion campaign, and alreadycandidates are springinginto action.

Looking at the 70 or sodays that stretch ahead ofus, we’re sincerely hop-ing this campaign will be agood one in all three Burna-by ridings.

We’d like to see a cam-paign where all candidatesare approachable and ac-cessible – not just to us butto their voters.We want to

talk to our local folks, get toknow them, find out theiropinions about the issuesthat matter to the peoplewho live in this city. Afterall, we’re electing people torepresent us in Ottawa; weneed to know who they areand where they stand.

We’d like to see a cam-paign where all candidates,and their leaders, treat eachother with respect.Thatdoesn’t mean they have toagree on everything – oreven on anything at all. It

just means they have to treattheir differences of opin-ion with the same kind ofcourtesy and politeness thatwe as parents try to instillin our children. Leaders orcandidates who act like pet-ulant toddlers are not thekind of people we want tosend to Ottawa on our be-half.

We’d like to see a cam-paign where the party lead-ers show that Burnaby mat-ters.We’d like to see theleaders in town, talking to

Burnaby folks, and we’d liketo know that they hear andunderstand the issues thatmatter in these three rid-ings.

We’d like to see a cam-paign that deals with real is-sues.We don’t want a cam-paign that’s full of personalattacks, insults and scare-mongering.We want a gen-uine discussion about theissues that matter to thepeople of Burnaby and thepeople of Canada.

We’d like to see a cam-paign where the electorategets involved.We want tosee voters who give a damn,who get informed about theissues, who turn out at pub-

lic meetings, who write let-ters to the editor and holdtheir candidates account-able on the issues that mat-ter.

Most of all, we’d like tosee a campaign where thereare lineups at the polls. Notbecause the poll workers areinefficient but because thereare just so darn many peo-ple wanting to cast a ballotthat they simply can’t keepup with demand.

That’s our campaignwish-list.What’s on yours?

Senior wins tug-of-war

Workersneedbetterpension

The Harper Conserva-tives believe retirement in-come is the primary respon-sibility of the individual. Itis a belief that does not takeinto account the absence ofan ability to put aside retire-ment savings. And strippedof its ideological grounding,it is a far too convenient wayto ignore a growing socio-economic problem. Many,too many, Canadians arenot putting aside sufficientmoney for retirement.

For the most part, a vastnumber of people simplydon’t have anything left overfor retirement savings afterpaying the cost of housing,clothing and food. Settingaside a sufficient part of in-come for retirement is justnot an option.

For those who earnenough income to put asidesavings, the daunting chal-lenge is the time and ex-pertise needed to manage apersonal retirement invest-ment plan. Having the fi-nancial wherewithal to pur-chase an RRSP or open aTFSA account is one thing,but it is quite another tomaintain an annual injec-tion into those saving vehi-cles, and then manage themin a way that produces in-vestment growth. If econo-mists have widely differentviews when it comes to pre-dicting rates of investmentreturns, it is nothing lessthan an economic crapshootwhen it comes to the unini-tiated.

As reported by Stats Can-ada, the average salary inB.C. for the year 2014 was$46,900. That’s not a great

deal for a family to live on.In fact, according to a re-port co-authored and re-leased by the CanadianCentre for Policy Alterna-tives last April, a family offour with two working par-ents would need a com-bined income in excess of$75,000 just to make endsmeet. But even that incomelevel isn’t be enough to car-ry a mortgage or put moneyaside for the kids’ education,much less accommodate apersonal retirement savingsplan.

Introduced in 1965, theCPP was based on this con-cept of employee/employerpremium sharing, but it wasmeant as a base on which tobuild, not an end in itself.The federal government ofthe day left it up to employ-ers and employees to es-tablish workplace pensionplans. However, employers(particularly non-union em-ployers) didn’t rush forwardto fill the pension void.To-day, 76 per cent of Cana-dian workers do not have aworkplace pension plan.

For the past 10 years theHarper government hasstonewalled any and all sug-gestions of reformation oreven that a pension crisisexists. According to a Na-nos post-budget survey inApril, 88 per cent of Cana-dians support an enhancedand expanded CPP. Thatbeing the case, all we nowneed is a government com-mitted to making it happen.It’s something for all of usto think about over the nextseveral weeks leading up tothe Oct. 19 federal election.

Opinion

Even if it hurt me personally,I would still do it because it’s

the right thing to do.

Let’s not let Canadabecome a petro-stateDear EditorKeithBaldrey (July 29)maybecorrect: B.C. is experiencing growingpolariza-tion aroundenergy, economic andenviron-mental policy. But hedubiously characterizesit as “thosewho support thedevelopmentof natural resources (versus) thosewhodonot.” That description implies that First Na-tions territories, B.C.’s beautiful terrain andour economy’s landbase are simply “naturalresources” tobe “developed”or not. It alsoimplies that thosewhowantmore sustain-able development,more green jobs andmoreresponsible useof non-renewable resourcesare simply naysayers.Investment in renewable energy, ecological-

ly responsible tourismandemission-reducinginfrastructure like public transit, creates farmore long-term jobs thanextracting fossil fu-els for export.Moreover, Alberta’s oil crash andB.C.’s tax-giveaways on LFG (liquefied frackedgas, let’s behonest) show the economic folly ofrelying soheavily on extractivist industries thatcontribute to humanity’s climate crisis. EvenPremier Clark, on aphoto-opwith forest fire-fighters, admitted that B.C. is already sufferingfromclimate change.The real polarization is betweenextractiv-

ist corporations, often foreign-owned, andcommunities andworkerswhoneedanurgenttransition to low-carbonprosperity. It’s notjust aB.C. issue. InOctober,we canevict theHarper government beforeCanadabecomesanauthoritarianpetro-state.BobHackett, Burnaby

EbbenFloodMore craven, servilebehaviour from theNEB.Ostensibly anorganof the federal government, andthus a trustee of thepublic interest,yet theyhave completely failed to liveup to that responsibility. The spectacleof public officials calling for uniformedpolice toblockpublic participation inapublic process is disgusting --majorreformsat theNEBarepast due.

before the accident.Hancott told the NOW

he wasn’t happy about theruling and is considering anappeal.

During the trial, he ar-gued he had lost 50 per centof his earning capacity be-cause of ongoing symptomsfrom the accident that limithis activities.

When asked why he de-cided to run for mayor un-der those conditions, he saidit was the right thing to do.

“People were saying, ‘Youshould do this,’” he said,

“and there was a democrat-ic deficit, and even if it hurtme personally, I would stilldo it because it’s the rightthing to do.”

Asked if he was confidenthe could have performedthe duties of mayor, he saidhe was not 100 per centsure because he has neverbeen a mayor.

“There’s a team of peo-ple, so the mayor has acouncil, and you split thework,” he said. “I don’tthink it’s one person whodoes all the work, so I woulddo the best I could.”

This month marks thedebut of a musical featur-ing fairy-tale favourites thathave been revamped totackle contemporary issues.

Lisa Simon, writer anddirector of AModern FairyTale (AMFT), had the ideaof writing her own musi-cal when she realized therewas a lack of anything otherthan traditional representa-tion of gender and relation-ships in the fables she grewup with.

“That’s not the way myfriends are,” said the Burn-aby resident of 13 years,whose production has madea conscious effort to breakaway from traditional gen-der roles and storytelling.The musical also tackles is-sues of racism, homophobiaand consent.

In AMFT, the much be-loved fairy-tale princess,Cinderella is known as“Prince Cinder,” who is ro-mantically involved with an-other male character namedPrince Chuck, while thecharacter ofWolf from Lit-tle Red Riding Hood is por-trayed by an actor who doesnot identify as either maleor female.

The actors of AMFT are

rehearsing in the dance stu-dio adjunct to the BonsorRecreational Complex.

With only a few shortweeks until opening night,there is a need to rehearsemultiple dance routines atonce, with the smaller rou-tines being relegated out-side. And, inevitably, mis-steps occur.

“You’re not jumping, justme,” the actor playingWolfcalls over her shoulder ather dance partner, breakingcharacter and bringing themusical number to a halt; asingle misstep had broughtthe two actors together in apainful collision.The cho-reographer tells them totry again for what does notseem like the first time.

Associate choreographerand publicist for AMFT,Damon Jang said thatteaching choreography tothe cast was slow going atfirst, but things have pickedup nicely.

Much like its inclusion ofperformers from all walksof life, the casting of AMFTdid not discriminate basedon how well an actor coulddance.

Jang, who has also helpedchoreograph productionsat Byrne Creek Second-ary every year since 2013, isthankful for the cast’s hard

work and is certain that “au-diences who see the cast ismade of intergenerationalcast members will (be ableto appreciate what we’vedone).”

Despite having to re-hearse in the evenings aftera full day’s work, the moodamong performers is jovial,and there is a genuine senseof camaraderie.

Simon said that shouldthere be any sort of sugges-tive innuendo in a scene, in-tended or otherwise, a re-curring joke among theactors is for one of themto say “It’s not that kind ofshow!”

But there is somethinggreater than comedy be-ing fought for here.With hermusical, Simon is challeng-ing society’s conceptionsof what “normal” is, andshe hopes to change a fewminds along the way.

“Being feminine is seen assomething shameful whichit isn’t. A boy can be a prin-cess if he wants; a girl canbe a superhero.”

It’s that kind of show.AModern FairyTale is on-

stage at the MetroTheatre inVancouver,Aug.19 to 30.Shows are at 7 p.m.,with 1p.m.matinees on Sundays.Tickets are $20,on sale attickets.metrotheatre.com.

A new festival spearhead-ed by the Burnaby ArtsCouncil aims to promotethe arts in a family-friend-ly setting with something for

everyone.The inaugural festival,

to be held on Saturday,Aug. 15 at Deer Lake Gal-lery, will feature musicians,actors from the BurnabySummerTheatre and morethan 15 artisans with their

work for sale.The idea for the event

was put forward byTeenaMartin, the event coordina-tor at Deer Lake Gallery.

She saw it as a way tobuild on the success of thecouncil’s popular Deer Lake

Craft Festival, noting thearts council hadn’t staged asimilar event in quite sometime.

The biggest challenge hasbeen finding the money toput the festival on, accord-ing to Martin.

“We’re feeling thesqueeze,” she said.

But Martin has been ableto skillfully navigate the lim-itations of a fixed budgetand said that public supporthas been phenomenal, withan outpouring of artists and

vendors in greater numbersthan she expected.

“I don’t know where I’dput them all,” said Martin.

Lamborghini-ish centre-exitexhaust, and available rally-stripes.

On the plus side, people seeyou coming. On the negativeside, people with badges seeyou coming. That centre-exitexhaust is also a pain foranyone who would wish toupgrade their muffler, as mostaftermarket offerings lookcompletely silly when bolted on.

Still, despite the big grille andobvious wheels, the ST can stillmanage to fly under the radar in aneutral colour.

Environment:Here again the ST benefits from its regular Focus roots,with a usable four-door hatchback body. The trunk is alittle on the small side for some duties, and strapping ina rear car seat gets a bit onerous as the rear parcel shelfis tricky to remove.

Apart from that, it’s a regular little hatch, and thatmeans folding seats for a hockey practice, or roomenough to pick up three friends from the airport. Letwhom ever is your best friend ride up front.

The front Recaros for both driver and passenger aresome of the most aggressive seats ever fitted to amainstream car. The side-bolstering is huge, to the pointthat some everyday users might actually find it a taduncomfortable. If you hit the twisty bits, though, they’rewonderful, keeping you firmly strapped in place.

MyFord Touch continues to improve, but can still beconsidered to be the Achilles’ heel of the Focus. Screenfonts are small, and a bit of a reach while on the move.

However, voice commandswork far better than on thesystem’s original rollout, andwhile the learning curve is a bitsteep, the system works wellwith familiarity.

Performance:Under the Focus’ new hood isthe familiar 2.0L turbochargedengine, punching out 252hpand 270lb-ft of torque. Muchmore than what’s offered fromrivals at VW or Honda, the ST’sstraight-line performance isstrong, punctuated by morethan a hint of torque steerscrabble.

As a highway car, the no-shiftpassing response is very good.Lots of low-end torque means youcan just leave the manual-onlyshifter in top gear and just letyour left foot get you up to speed.Road noise from the 18” alloysand performance tires is lessintrusive than in a Subaru WRX.

It’s no wallflower, shouting itsintentions to the world

However, the ST doesn’t reallywake up until the road gets

twisty. The advantage ofhaving a dedicated Europeanperformance arm for decadesis that Ford’s hatchbackofferings have been fightingoff a much larger competitivesegment than we experiencein North America. Here, we

contrast the ST against the GTI.There, they’ve got Peugeots and

Renaults to contend with as well.

The closest rival for power-on thrustmight be the Mazdaspeed3, a car

on borrowed time, but unlike Mazda,Ford doesn’t tame the torque steer inherent

in front-wheel-drive cars by cutting turbo boost.Instead, a trick front suspension and brake-basedtorque vectoring give the ST a chance to really bite intothe corner and then scrabble out the other side. Themore aggressive you are, the happier it gets – and thebigger the tire bill.

That’s not all. Most hot hatchbacks display nice safeundersteer if you push them a bit hard. Ford, on theother hand, has engineered in lift-off oversteer intotheir little hooligan. Pop off the accelerator sharplymid-corner, and the back end comes around like itson casters. This behaviour feels tamed compared tothe first editions of the ST, but is still present and stillsomething you won’t find elsewhere.

Overall, it’s a faster and more thrilling drivingexperience than you get from the more buttoned-downGermanic competition. Fly under the radar in thelatter, or by the seat of your pants in this thing: it’syour choice.

Features:The optional go-faster stripes from Ford add a hundredhorsepower each - proven fact.

Besides that, the ST is very well equipped standard, withthe only real options being navigation and a packagecontaining dual-zone climate control and a 10-speakeraudio upgrade. The latter is as punchy as the ST’sturbocharged engine, but subtracts trunk space with arear-mounted subwoofer.

Official fuel economy figures for the ST are quite goodat 7.3L/100kms on the highway, and 10.2L/100kms inthe city. Observed real-world economy is really going todepend on how often you ignore the upshift indicatorand just floor it, but the ST can handle a gentle commutewithout being too painful at the pump.

Green Light:Characterful, engaging drive; usable passenger andcargo space; grippy seats

Stop Sign:Seats maybe a little too grippy; occasionally frustratinginfotainment; polarizing looks

The Checkered Flag:A hot hatch hooligan that stands out; its biggest truerival might actually be the Fiesta ST.

The Ford Focus is a sensibly-sized andpractical hatchback, suitable for ferryingaround children and picking up the week’sgroceries.

Wait.

What’s with the rally-stripes?

Ah, but this is the Focus ST, an over boostedhooligan with big wheels, big brakes, punchyturbocharged acceleration, and a face like a disgruntledcatfish. It’s a genuine hot hatch, complete with seats thatwouldn’t be out of place in the Shelby Mustangs.

Ford has a long history of quick compacts overseas,but its North American audience is still getting usedto these. When we think “fast Ford,” we usually think“Mustang,” but something with four doors and a usablehatchback is sometimes far more practical.

With the incoming all-wheel-drive Focus RS currentlystealing the headlines for its STI-beating power outputand hoonish Drift Mode, here’s a look at the regularstrength fast Ford. It’s quick, but how does it work asan all-rounder?

Design:Building on the standard Focus is good news for the ST– already a sharp and stylish design, the Focus recentlybenefited from a refresh including a new front end andrestyled 18” wheels. The ST’s headlights now includestandard LED daytime running lights, and a powerbulge in the hood.

Many hot hatchback rivals to the ST are pretty tame– the VW GTI, for instance, is a relatively genteelmachine. Ford’s version is no wallflower, shoutingits intentions to the world with a huge front grille,

Is your home ready forback-to-school? Fivesimple !ps can help

REW.caWe may s"ll be basking

in sunshine but, before weknow it, summer will bea distant memory andthe hustle and bustle ofanother school year willbe in full swing. Someparents eagerly lookforward to September,while others start pan-icking about everythingthey need to do prior tothe [rst school bell ringthat heralds in a busy fallseason.As part of our 2015

Complete Home Mainte-nance Tasks Calendar, August

is all about ways to get yourwhole house organized for the

best school year yet. Beforeyou hit the mall, there’s

much more to do thangoing through your

children’s closets,praying you don’t have

to spend a small fortune onnew clothes, shoes and sports

equipment.REW.ca spoke to Everything Organized fran-

chise owner Kathleen Boland for her best "ps ever tomake the transi"on from summer to schoolroom asstress-free as possible.“The end of summer is a natural "me to refresh

our homes, schedules, wardrobes and habits,” saysBoland. “Back to school is ingrained in us to move from vaca"on modeto work mode. Go with it.”

Boland’s Top Five Back-to-School Tips1) Get the Kids to Sort Out their BedroomsYou can have the older kids help out with easy household chores –

[rst o#, ge!ng their rooms ready for the fall school year. A$er theyhave gone through their closets and ridthemselves of clothes, shoes and winterjackets and boots that they have outgrown,the rooms are then ready to have theirwindows cleaned, dirt marks washed o#the walls, furniture dusted and ^oors givena good vacuum. (The end of summer is aperfect "me to clean windows before it getstoo cold outside.)

2) Create a Communica!on CentreYou will be inundated with school-related

paperwork, so gather it all together in a des-ignated communica"on centre. It will keepthings under control and help you maintainyour cool when looking for permission slipsand forms.Boland is a real proponent of the clip-

board method because it provides eachfamily member with their own clipboard inorder to keep track of all per"nent schoolinforma"on.Another great technique is to create a

children’s work sta"on with hooks for back-packs and individual chalk message boardsto communicate to each child what theday’s schedule is, including homework and/or dance/sport/music ac"vi"es, what special

books or gear they need to pack, and any chores they need to do. Thiscould be set up either in the hallway, mud room or in a games room.Ensure that the most recent or pressing events are at the top of the

list and then ongoing informa"on to the back, such as allergy alerts forlunches. When using a tradi"onal paper or wipe-board calendar, colourcode each person’s board so that it’s easier to review who is doing what,and who might be doing too much or too li%le. Alterna"vely, maybe youprefer a chalkboard calendar that is really handy and easy to clean.

3) Designate a Homework AreaDecide if homework will be done in bedrooms or supervised out in

the open in a family friendly area. Set them up for success by having alltheir needs taken into considera"on in a simpli[ed and organized spacewith no distrac"ons: paper, wri"ng/drawing implements, calculator,eraser, and a dic"onary/thesaurus for those without a computer. If yourchild has a lot of school supplies, you can buy heavy-duty plas"c supplycarts, or refurbish an old [ling cabinet that is collec"ng dust in the a!c.You can add shelves with dividers and a chalkboard on the side of it foreasy access to homework deadlines.Know if your child works best with white noise in the background

such as their choice of music or a fan, or if they work best withsilence to concentrate, and provide the best environment forthem accordingly.

4) Time for a Chore ReviewAs children get older their responsibili"es should grow

as well. Let them to be working members of the family,showing maturity as their chores align with their age.Add on tasks that can challenge them such as cooking,

or chores that take more e#ort to achieve such as lawnmowing or shovelling snow. The goal is that they are ableto take care of themselves by the "me they leave homeone happy day!

5) Digital Diary Instead of Projects EverywhereDoes your house get overrun with artwork on walls, sci-

ence projects on sideboards and a host of other school-related detritus,which you’re dying to clear out but need a way to record for posterity? Agreat idea is to start an annual digital diary for each child. Take photos orvideos of those science experiments, cer"[cates earned, music concertsand art projects. At the end of the school year you can create a slide-show that is tailored to each child and much easier to keep than a pileof cra$ papers and cardboard. The added bonus is that you can share itwith family and friends.• Get kids to sort out their

bedrooms. Older kids can easilygo through their closets and getrid of clothes they’ve outgrown.

• Create a communication centreso that you can gather all school-related paperwork in one place.Clipboards can be helpful.

• Create a designated homeworkarea, either in a child’s bedroomor in a public area of the house.Set up a simple, organized spacewith no distractions.

• Make sure the kids are workingmembers of the family; assignthem increasing chores as theyget old enough to handle them.

• Consider creating a “digitaldiary” for each child ratherthan saving all projects andpaperwork.

In a nutshell

“The end ofsummer is anatural timeto refresh our

homes, schedulesand habits.”Having kids sort their closets and belongings is a

critical first step in getting the house organizedfor fall. Once they’ve gotten rid of clothes, shoesand winter jackets and boots they’ve outgrown,you can tackle cleaning and polishing.

Be sure to create an inviting and organized area for homework, whether that’s in the privacy of a child’sbedroom or in a public part of the house. PHOTOS: THINKSTOCK

Fourthplace forB.C.girlsBurnaby Mountain senior a big contributor to under-17 [email protected]

Burnaby’s Jacey Bai-ley helped B.C.’s under-17girls’ basketball team to afourth-place finish at thenational championships inEdmonton.

The Burnaby MountainSecondary senior scoredsix points and added fourrebounds in B.C.’s 70-61loss to Saskatchewan in thebronze-medal final on July29.

Ontario won the goldmedal, defeating defendingchampion Manitoba 67-55later in the day.

Bailey scored 12 pointsand chipped in with sev-en boards in B.C.’s open-ing 60-47 victory over NewBrunswick on July 24.

The 6-0 forward added26 more points and a totalof 17 rebounds in two morewins against Atlantic Can-ada competition – New-foundland and Nova Scotia.

B.C.’s first loss in poolplay came against the even-tual champs from Ontario,68-33.

The B.C. girls rebound-ed from that loss to betterthe host Albertans 63-54,with Bailey contributing 12points, seven boards andthree steals.

In the semifinals, Baileyadded seven points, four re-bounds and three assists ina 76-62 loss to Manitoba onJuly 28.

Playoffsbeginwitha ’Bellie’sgoalbingeSalmonbellie pair net 11 of 15goals between them in Game [email protected]

Expect the unexpected intheWestern Lacrosse Asso-ciation playoffs.

The NewWestmin-ster Salmonbellies punc-tuated that theme, takingGame 1 of their best-of-sev-en semifinal series againstthe LangleyThunder 15-12at Queen’s Park Arena onTuesday.

In a series that most la-crosse followers believedwould be close and lowscoring, the very oppositetranspired in the openingmatchup.

After a 4-4 first periodthat was conducted at an al-most furious pace by bothclubs, NewWest pulledaway from theThunder,outscoring Langley 8-1 in arunaway middle period.

First star Logan Schusswas the main driver in theearly going, scoring his fifthof a game-high six goalsmidway through the contestto give NewWest its biggestlead of the night at 12-8.

Schuss, who registeredan eight-point night, tallieda first-period hat trick withthe team’s playing three-on-three lacrosse.

Second star Keegan Balalso had a monster game,recording a seven-point ef-fort, including five goals –three of them coming in thesecond period.

Bal chased Langley start-er Brody MacDonald fromthe goal with his fourth ofthe game on a diving shotfrom the right crease.

But former juniorSalmonbellie Rocky Bow-man had no better luck, giv-ing up the second of twounassisted transition goalsfrom sophomore defenderBrendan Ranford.

“That’s what we’ve triedto do all year,” said Ran-ford, who chipped in withfour points for the ’Bellies.“We have to play a completegame to win in theWLA,for sure.

That complete game in-cluded an aggressive fore-check that proved very ef-fective, limiting Langley’sdominance on loose ballsand in the faceoff circle.

“It’s about wearing teamsout.We want to pressure

them – playing this game,things like that will go along way in a long series.”

Solid goaltending is alsoa must and NewWestmin-ster got just that for much ofthe 60 minutes from rook-ie netminder Eric Penney,who allowed just five goalson 35 shots on goal throughthe first 40 minutes. Pen-ney finished the game with41 stops.

Good news for NewWestfans was the sight of AlexisBuque backing up Penneyfor the first time since suf-fering a lower-body injuryearlier in the season.

But, what many thoughtmight be a seven-game se-ries going into the playoffs isnow fuel for argument fol-lowingTuesday’s outcome.

Langley came back inthe final period, outscor-ing NewWest 7-3, but thefinal outcome flattered theThunder.

Former NewWest ju-nior AlexTurner led Lang-ley with two goals in a five-point night, while PatrickSaunders had four countersfor the visitors.

In reality, NewWest ledby seven goals with eightminutes to go, and only afour-goal scoring spree in afour-minute span gave anyreason for concern.

Ranford admitted the’Bellies suffered the letdownin the latter half of the pe-riod, but added the team’scommitment to push thepace of the game is abso-lute.

“It’s our biggest thing –to be able to run teams intothe floor,” added Ranford.“Running and getting upthe floor that is going to winus games and we have tokeep doing it.”

NewWestminster was atthe Langley Events CentreonThursday for Game 2.

Game 3 is back atQueen’s Park Arena on Sat-urday at 7:45 p.m.

The fourth game in theseries is in Langley on Mon-day, also at 7:45 p.m.

Victoria holds a two-game-to-none lead over theMaple Ridge Burrards inthe other series, following a12-5 win onWednesday.

Game 3 of the Sham-rocks/Burrards series is inVictoria on Saturday.
