Kathy Corrigan is pleased with the gov-ernment’s new changes to the way Tasersare used, but the Burnaby-Deer Lake MLAwants independent safety certification forthe devices.

“There are CSA standards for toast-ers and other electronic devices,” Corrigansaid. “(But) there are no standards forweapons in Canada, including intermedi-ate weapons like Tasers. It is surprising.”

According to Corrigan, the only stan-dards set for the certification of Tasers areones that are set by the companies them-selves.

“I believe there needs to be independentoversight with something as potentiallylethal as a Taser, and that doesn’t exist,” shesaid. “You have to get toasters tested andnot Tasers, so that’s a real gap.”

Tasers are the only energy-conductedweapons allowed for use in B.C.

Justice Thomas Braidwood oversaw aninquiry into the use of energy-conductedweapons, following the 2007 tasering deathof Robert Dziekanski. In his final report,Braidwood made 19 recommendationson how Tasers should be used and sug-gested a special committee of the legisla-ture be created to review the government’simplementation of his recommendations.Corrigan, the NDP’s public safety critic, sat

on that committee, and she’s pleased withthe government’s changes.

“The province has done a good jobimplementing the recommendations ofBraidwood,” Corrigan said. “The main waythey’ve done that is they’ve created policestandards, written standards, standards foruse and training and so on.”

Tasers can be used by police, RCMP,sheriffs, transit police and correctional offi-cers, but they are mostly used by police,according to Corrigan. Conducted energyweapons are not supposed to be lethal forceweapons, she pointed out.

“Now, if somebody wants to be certi-fied to use a Taser, then they have to havetaken a course in the use of Tasers,” she

said. “You also have to be trained in crisisintervention and de-escalation.”

Since 2003, 25 people in Canada havedied after a conducted energy weapon wasused on them, according to Braidwood’sreport. Taser use was on the rise untilDziekanski’s death in 2007, and it’s sincedeclined by 87 per cent. Corrigan suspectsthat’s related to the widely viewed videofootage of the Dziekanski tasering inci-dent.

“People seeing that video and being sohorrified by that video had a huge impacton people, and I think police themselvesand other law enforcement agencies made

PROTESTERS DRENCHED AS THEY BANG POTS AND PANS IN PIPELINE PROTESTA few dozen people gathered in the rain on

Sunday for a protest against the Kinder Morganpipeline expansion.

The group, spearheaded by longtime environ-mental activist Gene Logan, started with Vancouverresidents but attracted some local protesters aswell.

“Considering the weather, I think it was great. Itwas really wet. By the end of it, we were soaked,”Logan told the NOW.

He estimated there were between 50 and 60protesters. They gathered at Kensington Park, andmarched to the site of the 2007 Kinder Morganpipeline spill, where the line was ruptured andnearby homes were coated in oil. They proceededto the gates of Kinder Morgan’s gates at the foot ofBayview Drive.

“We had some very encouraging honks on theway,” Logan said.

Protesters wrote notes for Kinder Morgan onlarge water drops, cut from poster board, andattached them to Kinder Morgan’s gate.

The group’s main goal is to stop Kinder Morganfrom expanding the Trans Mountain pipeline. Thecompany wants to twin the exist-ing line, which has been runningoil from Alberta to the West Coastsince the 1950s. The new systemwould nearly triple capacity, from300,000 to 890,000 barrels per day.

Logan said there would bemore protests in the future.

The 14th annual Burnaby Blues andRoots Festival is set to have 12 bandsperforming on three stages, with a bigCanadian headliner this summer.

On Aug. 10, Deer Lake Park will bebrimming with music, enthusiasts andsome of the best blues legends the worldhas to offer.

This year’s headliner Blue Rodeo kickedoff a cross-country tour in January to cel-ebrate 25 years of making music together,and will bring the party to this year’sfestival.

“It’s going to be pretty exciting,” JaredBowles, Shadbolt Centre for the Arts mar-keting sponsorship coordinator, told theBurnaby NOW in a phone interview. “It’sthe 14th one and we’re looking forwardto it.”

The lineup also includes “the screamingeagle of soul” Charles Bradley, ZZ Ward,Shakura S’Aida and David Gogo, amongothers.

“We’ve had great success the last fewyears and we’re looking forward to anoth-er successful one,” Bowles said.

This year will have an additional stage,with three in total, to maximize the enjoy-ment for the 8,000 attendees who areexpected to pack the park. The festival willalso have food vendors and an artisan vil-lage, as it has in past years.

“The best thing about this is that ticket

prices are the same as last year,” Bowlesnoted. “Everyone gets more value for theirmoney, more acts, more music and morefun for the same price.”

Early bird tickets are on sale now for

$65 each, or a pack of four for $180 at theShadbolt Centre box office. Tickets on theday will be $75. Online ticket sales and the2013 website launch will be on March 12 atwww.burnabybluesfestival.com.

“Once the weather starts getting better,the sun will be here and summer will beright around the corner,” Bowles added.

Blue Rodeo heads Blues and Roots Fest

TOILETS, PLEASEBlue box changes worry councillors

Proposed changes to what can go in the bluebox has Burnaby councillors worried about adrop in service for local residents.

Burnaby council asked staff to write Multi-Material B.C. regarding concerns about remov-ing recyclable materials such as glass fromcurbside pickup. It is asking the agency to atleast maintain all of the recyclable materialscurrently picked up at the curb.

Multi-Material B.C. was formed under theB.C. Society Act to develop a stewardship planfor packing and printed paper. The non-profit’sboard is comprised of representatives from theretail and food industries.

The agency drafted an updated list of accept-able items for pickup at the curb and drop off atthe depot last November, and has added itemsto it. Council is concerned about glass and plas-

tic film only being accepted at the depot underthe proposed changes.

“From staff’s perspective, this is a reductionin service and risk transference, as glass whichgoes uncollected at the curbside may likely bedisposed into the garbage stream rather thanbeing taken to the depot,” Burnaby’s depart-ment of engineering report states.

Municipalities have until March 1, 2014 toprovide input on the proposed Packaging andPrinted Paper Stewardship Plan, according tothe city report. The agency is still researchingthe existing plan’s curbside, multi-family build-ing and depot collection costs.

Burnaby is one of the selected municipali-ties that received a request from the agency toreview what collection cost the city last year,including administration.

At the Feb. 18 council meeting, Coun. DanJohnston said the agency is not making deci-sions based on the interest of the city.

The issue is that the non-profit organizationis made up of representatives from the food andretail industry, which means the city is dealingwith a more privatized system, he said.

Coun. Colleen Jordan said the recycling pro-gram could change things drastically.

“It looks like a huge step backwards,” shesaid.

Coun. Nick Volkow said he was suspiciousof the agency’s plans and questioned the ratio-nale behind the drafted list.

“If it’s not broken, why fix it?” he said.But, the agency stands by its proposed

change to remove glass from the blue box.Multi-Material B.C. chair Allen Langdon

says the agency is happy to hear any commentsfrom Burnaby, but by removing glass fromcurbside pickup it allows more room for otheracceptable items to fit into the blue box.

He says glass often breaks in the blue boxand contaminates the other recyclable materi-als.

“It impacts the ability to recycle materials,”Langdon said in a phone interview. “It’s moredifficult to recycle.”

He said removing glass from curbside pickupand making it only a depot drop-off item isn’tnew, as the regional districts of Nanaimo andCentral Okanagan already took these steps.

Flowers and condolences are piling up at the doorstepof Paul’s Restaurant on Hastings Street in Burnaby, afterthe owners’ daughter was found deceased in a water tankatop of a hotel in Los Angeles last week.

“I think it’s the worst nightmare of any parent. I havefour daughters myself,” said Vincent Ma, owner of X-SiteGrill and Bistro, just next door to Paul’s Restaurant. “Iwish them well, because it’s tough.”

Paul’s Restaurant has a closed sign on the door, andMa said he hasn’t seen the family in a while. The 21-year-old daughter, Elisa Lam, was reported missing by her par-ents, after she went on a trip to California in late January.Lam was staying at a hotel in Los Angeles, and a workerinvestigating complaints of low water pressure foundLam’s body in one of the hotel’s rooftop water tanks.

Los Angeles police are investigating, but the cause ofdeath is still a mystery. It’s not clear if she was killed orthe victim of an accident. Coroner’s officials are awaitingtoxicology tests before making a final determination.

The evidence is in: BritishColumbians have collect-ively hit the “off” switch

to anything the B.C. Liberal gov-ernment has to say.

Nothing the B.C. Liberalshave tried for months hasimproved theirstanding with thevoters, who nowappear firmlyentrenched in the anti-B.C.Liberal camp.

The multi-million taxpayer adcampaign that made question-able boasts about job creationhas been a dud. The nasty attackad on NDP leader Adrian Dixhas had no impact. The ThroneSpeech was a flop.

The budget fell flat with thepublic, which appears to havedecided to ignore anything thegovernment has to say.

Two recent polls back upthese assertions. One, by Ipsos-Reid, showed that just 12 percent of those who knew thegovernment had tabled a newbudget believed the governmentwhen it claimed it was “bal-anced.”

The latest Angus Reid pollprovides a mountain of find-ings that show the B.C. Liberalscontinue to be mired in a swampof negativity from the voters.The party trails the NDP by 16points, and has lost about one-third of the people who votedfor it in 2009.

Most tellingly, the AngusReid poll showed that 59 per

cent of the electorate want anew government. That is anastounding figure, one that mustsend shudders through the B.C.Liberal camp.

But the governing party ispressing on, and has decided

to make its alleged fis-cal prowess the centraltheme of its electionplatform.

You may well ask how agovernment that has wrackedup four deficits in a row (andmaybe even five) and almostdoubled the provincial debt canexpect to be re-elected on a plat-form that says it’s the only partyto be trusted to manage govern-ment finances properly.

Yet that is precisely the seem-ingly contradictory argumentthe B.C. Liberals are puttingforth as we head towards theelection. Unfortunately for theruling party, its track record formanaging finances is hardly astellar one.

Despite their claims of beingfinancial geniuses, the B.C.Liberals have brought homeseven deficit budgets duringtheir time in office, and havepushed the provincial debt levelfrom $34 billion when they werefirst elected to $63 billion nextyear.

And since absolutely nothinghas worked for the B.C. Liberals,there is little reason to think thepublic is going to suddenly start

Too many pipeline questions left unansweredA report from the federal commis-

sioner of the environment last weekpoints out once more the disturbingway Ottawa has failed to addresslegitimate concerns about BritishColumbia’s pipeline propos-als.

It’s just the latest in a ser-ies of less-than-reassuringdevelopments.

Last month, Kinder Morganannounced that despite one set offigures used in public consultations

last year, the company actually wantsto ship a lot more oil – meaning moreor bigger tankers in Burrard Inlet – orboth.

This week, federal commissionerScott Vaughan informs usfederal regulators are ill-pre-pared to address any kind ofcatastrophic oil spill.

In apparent confirmationof what activists have said, Vaughanpoints out in his report that rules andresources in place to deal with any

major oil spill are wholly inadequate.Among his findings: there is no

formal process for updating an assess-ment of risks, no recognition of ahuge anticipated increase in WestCoast tanker traffic and not enoughmoney to handle the costs of cleaningup spills.

Any costs not covered wouldinevitably fall to the public purse.

Proponents of the projects, ofcourse, don’t expect to see any oilspills.

But that is the nature of disasterpreparation – spending money andeffort to deal with something wedon’t expect to happen.

We don’t expect ships to sinkeither, but we still have federallymandated safety standards and life-boats meant to carry all passengers onboard – not just some of them.

Ottawa’s insistence on seeing noevil when it comes to environmentalrisk should make us all very nervous.

Learn English before MandarinRe: Smart to teach Mandarin, Letters to the

Editor, Burnaby NOW, Feb. 22.Trevor Ritchie, who usually proclaims the virtues

of socialism, this time decided to praise the wisdomof teaching Mandarin in Burnaby schools.

Nevertheless, his published opinion suggeststhat he would very much benefit from studyingEnglish.

He hopes the increased funding for teachingMandarin would serve “as a compliment to theFrench language program, not as a competitor toit.” He most likely meant as a “complement” to theFrench language program. Not very impressive fora university student.

So, I would suggest, Trevor, forget Mandarin.Study English for now.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

listening to their argu-ments about financialmanagement.

The onlyvariable leftin the gamehas nothingto do with theB.C. Liberals.Instead, it’sall about theNDP.

Only amajor stumbleor scandalin the NDPcamp is likelyto derail theirelection chan-ces. The gapin popularity between thetwo parties is so huge thatonly a self-inflicted woundcan take the NDP out.

The NDP is constantlybattling its stereotypedimage as a left-wing,tax-and-spend party.Certainly, its time in officein the 1990s won’t helpit dispel that image, as itraised taxes considerably

and balanced the books amere two times.

And now the NDP isfacing an interesting chal-lenge. After branding the

B.C. Liberals’latest budgetas “phony”and “bogus,”it can hardlyput the samefiscal plan infront of vot-ers.

It’s morethan likelythe NDP willhave to putforth a budgetthat shows adeficit next

year, not a “phony” sur-plus like the B.C. Liberals’plan.

The key question maybe, just how high of a defi-cit can the party get awaywith? I suspect less thana $500 million deficit maystrike voters as reasonable.

After all, the currentfiscal year shows a $1.3billion deficit on the B.C.Liberals’ watch, so a

reduction of almost two-thirds may prove accept-able.

But how the NDP getsto that figure is unclearand perhaps problematic.

They’ve condemnedthe government’s sell-offof $475 million worth ofassets and its taking ofa $245 million dividendfrom B.C. Hydro, plus ithas suggested health careis about $235 million short.

It adds up to a deficitof about $750 million,which may strike someas too high (and I haven’teven included the variousdemands from NDP cau-cus members to increasespending in other areas;party leader Adrian Dixwould be wise to muzzlehis caucus’ spending calls).

Of course, none of thismay matter.

If the general publickeeps that “off” switch toanything the B.C. Liberalshave to say, that big gapbetween them and theNew Democrats won’t beclosing come Election Day.

Unions consist of peopleDear Editor:

Re: NDP gov’t would cost us, Letters tothe Editor, Burnaby NOW, Feb. 22.

Letter writer Shane Perich states thatthe NDP favours unions over people.

I would remind Mr. Perich that unionsconsist of people, working people, all peo-ple, nothing else, lots of them.

Most people who earn a decent wagetend to spend more, thereby supportingbusiness.

Most of my working life I belonged to aunion. I began my trade at a union spon-sored trade school. I earned a living wage,enough so that my wife was able to stay athome and care for our children who I amproud to say have turned out to be well-educated, solid citizens.

Belonging to a union, if there was aproblem at work, I had a voice.

There’s an old labour song that goes,“you’ve had your pay, be on your way,

you no good useless bastard.”This is what will happen to most non-

unionized workers when they are too oldto cut it. They are the “associates” that yousee at big box stores, who look like they aretoo old to be working.

Now that I am too old, my union pro-vides me with a pension.

Long live the NDP. Long live theunions.

Russ Leach, Burnaby

B.C. Liberals full of gasDear Editor:

The provincial budget table by the B.C.Liberals gave me cause to remember some-thing my father said to me when I wasthinking of buying my first car.

The one I favoured was a used modelthat still promised dependability and per-formance.

On a closer look, however, it proved tobe a rusty clunker that had been patchedup, repainted and fitted with retreadedtires.

But it was when we lifted the hood tolook at the engine that dad uttered hismost damning comment.

“Hmmm,” he said. “All gas, no poop.”I didn’t buy it then. I’m not buying it

the decision to use themless,” she said.

That may have a poten-tial downside, she added.

“Are police not usingthem because they areafraid to use them becauseof potential negative pub-licity?” Corrigan asked.“What Braidwood con-cluded, and I think ourcommittee concurs with, isthat despite what has hap-pened in a very few cases,Braidwood said, we arebetter having Tasers thannot, because they are bet-ter than shooting someone.… They are a useful inter-mediate weapon in somecases, but what we haveto be careful of is that theyare used in very restrictivecases and as a last resort.”

The committee wasalso asked to look into anynew medical research onenergy conducted weaponssince Braidwood’s report.Corrigan said there’s anational body doing a com-prehensive review of themedical literature.

“But we did find …there are very few deathsassociated with Tasers,”she said. “The chance withdeath with someone who ishealthy is very, very low.”

Tasering deaths ofteninvolved people whowere very agitated or hadother medical conditions,Corrigan explained.

“The cause of death isusually something like aheart attack, essentially,but the jury is not in. Westill don’t know exactlywhy people are dying,” shesaid.

Justice Minister ShirleyBond said her governmentis committed to ensuringthe safe use of conductedenergy weapons.

“AfterJusticeBraidwoodconducted a thoroughreview of the use of con-ducted energy weapons inJuly 2009, we immediatelydirected all police, sheriffsand corrections officers inB.C. to severely restrict theuse of conducted energyweapons in accordancewith Braidwood’s rec-ommendations. We alsoaccepted all 19 of JusticeBraidwood’s recommenda-tions, which are now partof binding provincial polic-ing standards, which tookeffect June 1, 2011,” shesaid in an emailed state-ment to the NOW.

Regarding Taser certifi-cation, Bond said the prov-ince asked the federal gov-ernment to add conductedenergy weapons to the listof items covered by theHazardous Products Act.

“The federal govern-ment responded that con-ducted energy weaponsare beyond the scope ofthe act because they can-not be imported or bought

by consumers. However, asa prohibited weapon, theyare already strictly regu-lated by the Criminal Codeand Firearms Act. Throughthis, their importation and

sale is severely restrictedand only authorized per-sons and law enforcementpersonnel can have them,”she said. “As part of thechanges our government

has made, we now havea testing program for allconducted energy weap-ons in British Columbia.According to the new pro-vincial policing standards,

conducted energy weaponsare now required to be test-ed regularly to ensure theirongoing performance andto ensure their output iswithin safe boundaries.”

disabled members of the public,” Olewilerstates in her written response to council.“However, (B.C. Rapid Transit Co.) hasto consider the operational and financialimplications of providing public wash-rooms or allowing the public access to staffwashrooms.”

Olewiler noted that there would alsoneed to be funding for maintenance, andTransLink would have to also guaranteethe safety and security of transit users andstaff.

“We do not have that funding at pres-ent,” she states.

Olewiler notes that any transit userswho have an urgent need to use a facilityare allowed to ask staff for access.

“The degree of urgency is to be deter-mined by the staff member present,” shestates. “The staff member should escort theindividual to the facilities and wait outsidefor them before escorting them out of thestaff area.”

At its Monday meeting, council request-ed further information from TransLinkabout the issue, and increased awarenessabout the availability of staff washroomsfor those in dire need.

“Furthermore, that TransLink make

provisions for public washrooms whenfunding allows, and that future options forpublic washrooms be maintained in anynew or modified SkyTrain stations wher-ever possible,” the traffic safety committeereport to council states.

Coun. Sav Dhaliwal said TransLinkshould have this issue on its radar in thefuture, and that sooner or later, toiletsshould be made available.

Mayor Derek Corrigan first sent a let-ter to TransLink’s board of directors onNov. 30 asking for the implementation forpublic toilets, citing it as a need especiallyfor those with disabilities, and the agingpopulation.

“Recognizing this, Burnaby providespublic washrooms at all civic facilities,as well as at our larger municipal parks,”Corrigan states in the letter. “Counciltherefore feels that it is the responsibilityof TransLink to provide these public facili-ties at SkyTrain stations.”

The TransLink Access Transit Users’Advisory Committee sent a resolutionrequesting that municipalities adopt pro-grams to increase the number of publicwashrooms around transit hubs and majorgathering places.

Seniors’ advocate should beindependent, says city activist

A member with a local seniors organi-zation is disappointed that the proposedseniors’ advocate for B.C. will not be asindependent as expected.

Carole Kaye is a member ofVoices of Burnaby Seniors, alocal group that advocates forseniors’ interests.

“Everybody requested thatit be an independent position,and it’s not,” Kaye said.

The provincial governmenttabled the Seniors’ AdvocateAct on Feb. 20, but Kaye hasconcerns that the advocate willnot be established as an inde-pendent office of the legisla-ture. Instead, the advocate willreport to the Ministry of Health, somethingshe also takes issue with.

“We are wondering why they chosethe Ministry of Health. Seniors have con-cerns and issues beyond health. We’re not

a bunch of sick and dying people,” Kayesaid.

According to the act, the lieutenant gov-ernor would appoint a seniors’ advocateresponsible for a number of items, includingmonitoring seniors’ services, advocating forseniors’ interests and identifying systemic

challenges faced by seniors.Prior to the act’s introduc-

tion, Voices of Burnaby Seniorshad been calling on the govern-ment to enact legislation bring-ing in a seniors’ advocate. Kayesaid the group has not had achance to form an official posi-tion on the new advocate, andthat she was speaking on behalfof herself only, not Voices ofBurnaby Seniors. Still, she calledfor a truly independent seniors’advocate.

“On this one key point, which we con-sider to probably be the most importantpoint, they let us down,” she said. “We’dlike them to change that aspect. … It’s not

too late for them to changetheir mind on that.”

Ralph Sultan, minister ofstate for seniors, dismissedthe concerns in an interviewwith the NOW.

“To quote HumphreyBogart, ‘It doesn’t amountto a hill of beans,’” he said.“This person is going to becut loose to do whateverthey damn well please, andwe’ll say, ‘Hold your hats,fasten your seatbelts, crossyour fingers, good luck.’That’s how it works.”

Sultan told the NOWthe advocate’s duties andresponsibilities includehealth care, non-medi-cal personal care, housing,transportation, and incomesupport.

“That’s a pretty broadmandate in terms of cuttingacross lots of different silos,”Sultan said. “The mandateof the advocate extends farbeyond government into allprivate institutions dealingwith seniors, as well,” headded. “It’s both public andprivate.”

As for why the positionis not as independent as, forexample, Mary Ellen TurpelLafond’s job as B.C.’s rep-resentative for children andyouth, Sultan replied thatthe advocate will report tohim, not the health minis-

ter.“My responsibilities cut

across all ministries, not justhealth,” he added.

Furthermore, Sultan list-ed the independent thingsthe advocate will be ableto do, including establish-ing her own work priorities;setting up her own councilof advisors; gathering infor-mation, protecting thosewho assist the advocate,so whistleblowers will notbe punished. According toSultan, the advocate will

also make independent rec-ommendations and will becompensated in a “grandmanner.”

“This is not some juniorclerk in the back room. Thisis a big, well-paid job thatshould attract very capablepeople. It will be on parwith the deputy minister ofgovernment,” he said.

Sultan also expects theSeniors’ Advocate Act topass during the current leg-islative session, which endsMarch 14.

Saved those ’80s pants? Good thinking

T’is the season for musical theatre atlocal high schools.

Final rehearsals are underway at St.Thomas More Collegiate for the school’sproduction of Fame – The Musical, whichruns Feb. 28 to March 2 at the ShadboltCentre for the Arts, as well as BurnabyNorth Secondary’s production of Guysand Dolls, running March 6 to 9 at theschool.

Julia Webber, drama teacher at St.Thomas More, said the annual main stageshow alternates each year between a playand a musical.

Fame was chosen this year for its moremodern, dramatic style to add variety tothe repertoire of main stage productionsthe school has produced in the last fewyears.

“One of the reasons is that it’s appeal-ing to a high-school age audience becauseit deals with everything from body imageissues to relationships to addiction to allsorts of things,” she said.

There are 29 cast members and about23 music students in the orchestra, as wellas a student crew backstage.

Audience members are invited to dressin their best ’80s fashion in order to beentered to win prizes after the perfor-mance.

At Burnaby North Secondary, dramateacher and producer Courtney Couchsaid she chose to produce Guys and Dollsfor her school’s drama show this yearbecause of its familiar but classic style.

“There hasn’t been a musical here for a

while, so we’re excited to bring it back,”she said. “It should be fun.”

This cast includes 36 on stage, as wellas about 15 band students in the orches-tra, plus another six to 12 in the set crew.

Other students in design and marketingclasses have also been involved in pro-ducing marketing material and promo-tions for the show, Couch noted.

Tickets to see Fame are $14, available at

tickets.shadboltcentre.com.Tickets to see Guys and Dolls are $10

for students and $12 for adults, availablefrom the school office. For tickets, call604-664-8550.

Burnaby Central SecondarySchool students are gettingready for a tragedy.

Hamlet, WilliamShakespeare’s longest and argu-ably most popular play, willcome to life at the school fromMarch 12 to 14, at 7 p.m. eachnight.

The school’s theatre produc-tion class has been working formonths on this condensed ver-sion of the show, which dramateacher Carol Mann says wasa good choice for this group toperform.

“It was the right year forthis cast, this class,” she said.

“They’re just doing an absolutelyamazing job.”

A lot of work has gone intoboth the performance and the setfor this production, she noted.

The stage includes trap doorsand professionally-coached fightscenes.

Mann hired expert theatricalfight director Paul Gelineau toteach students how to make asword fight look as real as pos-sible.

The play is set in modern time– with 21st century street clothesand cell phones used on stage– but the original language of thescript is the same.

The cast and crew totals 30students, 18 of whom are per-forming, with the rest workingbehind the scenes.

Hamlet runs 2 hours and 10minutes, including an intermis-sion.

Everyone is welcome toattend, though Mann cautionsparents against bringing elemen-

tary-aged kids, as there is vio-lence in the play.

Tickets are $10 for adultsand $7 for students and seniors,available from the school office,at 604-296-6850.

Most last-minute RRSP contributionsjust go into cash. Don’t waste your time andmoney! Instead, put your cash to work insome well-chosen investments right away.Here’s how:

At your bank or brokerage firm where youmake your contribution, ask for their on-site advisor. The advisor will ask you a fewquestions about your investing objectivesand risk tolerance, and will probably alreadyhave a slate of money market, fixed-income, and equity mutual funds that areappropriate for your circumstances.

Select an asset allocation. As an example,I’ll use a mix of 30% safety/30% income/30%growth. Then populate that allocation withthose fund choices. Simple. It’ll take onlya few minutes, and your money will beworking for you within 24 hours.

Another option is to call up a mutual funddistributor that takes direct deposits fromretail clients. Outfits like Phillips, Hager& North (a subsidiary of Royal Bank), CIFinancial, AGF Management, Investor’sGroup, or whoever, also have a qualified

customer service people who will be happyto get you set up.

These days, many investors choose to gothe “do-it-yourself” route. That’s fine too,and not an obstacle to getting your returnsflowing right away. But you’ll need to openan on-line investing account with yourbank, and that can take a few days for theapproval to go ahead and invest. Once youhave the approval, you can choose whatevermutual funds or exchange-traded funds(or stocks or bonds) you want, all from thecomfort of your own home.

But the do-it-yourselfer will needto choose an asset allocation on theirown. Based on current capital marketexpectations and assuming a medium risktolerance, I’m going with 5% cash, 40%fixed-income, and 55% equities. If you’remore aggressive, you can up the equitycomponent at the expense of fixed income,leaving the cash allocation unchanged. Ifyou’re more conservative, boost the fixedincome and reduce the equity exposure. Butdo something!

As for populating that allocation, considerholding the cash allocation in eitherguaranteed investment certificates (GICs) orterm deposits, choosing a rate that is higherthan current inflation, which is 1.5%. I don’trecommend money market funds, Treasurybills, Bankers’ Acceptances – the returnsaren’t there, and the fees and commissions/spreads just make it worse. Or you couldjust put the cash into a Tax-Free SavingsAccount (TFSA), and use the RRSP only forfixed-income and equities.

To get started in fixed-income, you mightconsider a diversified exchange-traded fund(ETF) or two. You might, for example, putall 40% into the iShares DEX Universe BondIndex Fund (TSX: XBB), which covers boththe Canadian government and corporatebond universe. Or you could put 20% intothe iShares DEX All Corporate Bond IndexFund (TSX: XCB), and 20% into the iSharesDEX All Government Bond Index Fund (TSX:XGB).

For equities, I’d put half of the 55%sample allocation into the iShares S&P/TSX60 Index Fund (TSX: XIU), and split the other

half evenly between the iShares S&P 500Index Fund (CAD-Hedged) (TSX: XSP) andthe iShares S&P MSCI EAFE Fund (CADHedged) (TSX: XIN). That way you’ll have halfin blue-chip Canadian equities and half inU.S. and international equities.

If you want something sexier for theCanadian equity component, and less riskand more income, I really like the DynamicEquity Income Fund Series A, fund codeDYN029. Or half in that and half in the

iShares S&P/TSX 60 Index Fund.

But you’d better get moving! The deadlinefor 2012 contributions is March 1st.

Three giants from the music worldshare the spotlight in the open-ing concert of the year by the NewWestminster Symphony Orchestra:Mozart. Beethoven. Brahms.

Orchestra conductor and musicdirector Jin Zhang has chosen Mozart’sOverture to the Impresario to open theprogram. This is an early work the mas-ter wrote as his entry in a musical com-petition in February of 1786, accordingto local arts promoter Tony Antonias.

Following the magic of Mozart, con-cert goers will enjoy basking in thebeauty of Beethoven and Brahms.

The orchestra, along with guestmusicians Robert Rozek, violin; BoPeng, cello; and Keiko Alexander, pia-

nist, will perform Beethoven’s TripleConcerto for Violin, Cello and Piano.

Next up, an interesting piece bythe great Johannes Brahms. SerenadeNumber 1 in D major is a work thatrepresents one of the earliest efforts byBrahms to write orchestral music.

“What could be more relaxingand enjoyable on a Sunday afternoonthan a concert featuring three musicalgiants such as Mozart, Beethoven andBrahms,” said Antonias.

This concert is sponsored byWestminster Savings and takes placeon Sunday, March 3, at 2 p.m. at MasseyTheatre.

The Burnaby ArtistsGuild and Edmond’sCommunity Centre

want to thank thosewho came out to helppaint murals for the B.C.Children’s Hospital lastSeptember to support the2012 Culture Days celebra-tions.

The murals projectwas inspired by BurnabyNOW photographer LarryWright’s son, Casey, whohas been battling braincancer. Roxsane Tiernanof the Burnaby ArtistsGuild was moved byCasey’s story, as she also

had a daughter with abrain tumour. The muralsare destined for the B.C.Children’s Hospital inVancouver.

“When you havethese kinds of problems,and you are waiting, it’salways nice to look atsomething that takes yourmind somewhere else,”Tiernan said.

The Burnaby ArtistsGuild and Tiernan spear-headed the project, andlocal artist Jing Jia cameup with the design, whichwas outlined on smallpieces on canvas boards.Members of the commun-ity, from small childrento seniors, were invitedto help fill in the colours.Once complete, the pieceswere assembled into twomurals, and the hospitalfoundation is arranging topick them up.

Three friends andbusiness associatesfrom Japan have

caught up with each otherin Burnaby.

Norio Abe, ItsurokuKimura and KatsuTerada opened Teri Boy,a Japanese restaurantlocated at 4248 DawsonAve. last August and havebeen offering affordableJapanese comfort food tocommuters and local busi-ness people.

The most popular dish-es are the teriyaki chickenand teriyaki beef combina-tion plates, served withrice, salad and takoyaki,

the ball-shaped Japanesesnack made of a wheatflour-based batter andfilled with minced or dicedoctopus, tempura scraps,pickled ginger, and greenonion. Priced at less than$10, the dishes are fast andfilling, and reminiscent ofwhat you would get dur-ing a busy lunch hour rushin Japan.

We enjoyed our chickenteriyaki, which from thetime we placed our orderto the moment we tookour first bite, was only fiveminutes.

That’s the speed andefficiency the three menare shooting for, as theyknow that students, transitriders and business peoplewho need a quick lunchdon’t have time to wait.

If you haven’t figuredit out already, the “teri”in Teri Boy stands for teri-yaki and the dishes wouldnot be out of place on the

Japanese streets the threemen first met on.

But the journey toBurnaby has literally goneall around the world,as Abe was running aJapanese restaurant inSanta Monica, Californiaseveral years ago when hemet up with his friendsagain.

“Kimura had beenworking in Shanghai andIts in Mexico City,” Abesaid of meeting up withhis old college friends.

The trio decided theywanted to try somethingnew and they soon foundthemselves in Vancouver,where three years ago,they opened a sit-downJapanese restaurant whichthey operated for two-and-a-half years.

The trio then decidedthey wanted to change theconcept, offering Japanesecomfort food dishes served

quickly, but with no com-promise on food quality.

“We have a lot of youngpeople who like our food,”said Terada. “We’re alsotrying to get more of thebusiness people who workin the area.”

In fact, as we were talk-ing to Terada, a local officeworker stopped by to pickup a menu because he wasinterested in an upcomingcatered lunch.

The options at Teri Boyare unique in their ownregard, as the chicken, beef

or yakisoba sandwiches arequite affordable at under$7 each, while the chickenor beef noodle bowls areincredibly filling on a coldwinter day for only $6each.

There are also dailyspecials that run the gamutfrom salmon cutlet on ricefor $7.50 to ginger pork forunder $8.

We’ve also had a goodexperience with the chickenbowl served with udonnoodles and if you can’tdecide what you like best,the combo plates, whichinclude rice, takoyaki

and salad are a bargain atunder $10.

The three friends andbusiness partners alternateduties and seem to workwell together without need-ing to say much.

When we sat downwith Terada, Kimura wasbusy doing some com-puter work, while Abe wasbringing in the day’s sup-plies.

When they opened lastsummer, business was verybrisk, but it slowed downthrough the cold winterdays.

But with nice weather

coming soon, the businesspartners forecast a return tothe days of last summer.

“As it gets warmer,more people get out andthey’ll come back,” saidTerada. “We’re buildingthe business little by little.”

The cozy eatery is cen-trally located adjacent tothe Gilmore SkyTrain sta-tion and is open seven daysa week, with weekdaysopen from 11 a.m. to 8p.m. and noon to 7 p.m. onweekends.

For more information,call 604-558-4010.

Westcoast Seniors

S eniors who travelsouth for the winter

will soon be able to enjoyan extended 30-day stayand not worry about theirmedical coverage, thanks

to changes to provinciallegislation introducedrecently.

On Feb. 20, the provincialgovernment introducedamendments to theMedicare Protection Actthat will create authority toset regulations that would

allow British Columbianswho take longer-termvacations out of theprovince, often referred toas “snow birds,” to stay onholidays for an extra periodof time.

“The Canadian SnowbirdAssociation requested that

we extend the six-monthresidency requirementfor Medical Services Plancoverage. Our governmentlistened to them, and weare making the change topermit more flexibility,”said Health MinisterMargaret MacDiarmid in amedia release.

The maximum time aresident can stay out ofthe province withoutlosing Medical ServicesPlan (MSP) coverage issix months. Proposedchanges to the MedicareProtection Act create anew regulation that willallow B.C. residents whoare vacationing outsideCanada for six months tohave an additional 30-dayabsence and still maintaintheir MSP benefits.

“There are many BritishColumbia seniors whoenjoy winters away eachyear, and this changemakes it possible to allowthem some extra time awaywithout worrying aboutlosing their MSP coverage,”said Ralph Sultan, ministerof state for seniors.

Ontario, Newfoundlandand Labrador already allowresidents to be out of theprovince for more than sixmonths and still maintaintheir health-care coverage.

Bob Slack, president of

the Canadian SnowbirdAssociation, was pleasedwith the news.

“This legislation andthe related regulations,when passed, will allowthe estimated 144,000snowbirds, who call BritishColumbia their permanenthome, to travel southduring the cold months andstill have time to visit familyand friends in Canada andaround the world withoutfear of losing their B.C.medical coverage,” he said.

Under the MedicareProtection Act, residentsmust enroll in MSP in orderto become beneficiariesof the health-caresystem. People who nolonger meet residencyrequirements will havetheir MSP enrolmentcancelled and will nolonger have access toinsured health services.

The legislation has beentabled in Victoria and wasat the first-reading stage atpress time.

Snowbirds will haveextended health care

Tires are not built to explode

Dear Tom and Ray:Yesterday I went out

to put air in my tires, andI had the same problem Ialways do – I’m very afraidthat the tire will explodewhile I’m filling it, probablyripping the skin off my face.

I end up filling the tireonly one or two PSI at atime while looking away,then rechecking the pressure.

Can you give me anyadvice? Has a tire everexploded on you? Do

you still have your faces?Thanks.

– AshleyTOM: Unfortunately, forthose living near us, wedo still have our faces.RAY: You have tireo-phobia, Ashley. But youcan stop worrying. We’venever seen it happen in allthe years we’ve been fix-ing cars.TOM: It’s virtually impos-sible to explode a tirewhile filling it up with air.Even though your tire isdesigned to run on, say,30 to 35 pounds of pres-sure per square inch (psi),it would take somethinglike 250 psi to cause therubber to break apart.RAY: The air compressorsin gas stations and tireshops don’t produce anywhere near that much air

pressure. So even if yougrossly overinflated yourtire, it wouldn’t explode.TOM: We occasionallyhear about a tire explod-ing, but it’s almost alwaysa truck tire. And it’s usu-ally what we think of as a“blow out,” when the tireis on the road, travellingat high speed and gener-ating a lot of heat.RAY: Or it’s while thetruck tire is being mount-ed and the bead fails. Butthose instances are rare.TOM: So you can stopworrying, Ashley; it’s notgoing to happen.

But we know thatphobias are not entirelyrational. So if it reallyruins your day to inflatea tire, find a full-servicegas station or a friendlyrepair shop, and tip some

guy to do it for you. Findsome guy like my brother,who’ll be happy to riskhis face for a couple ofbucks. After all, howmuch worse could it get?

Driving cost toolreleased by BCAA

The British Columbia Automobile Association hasreleased a free online tool, “Driving Costs,” which calcu-lates the full cost of vehicle ownership.

The tool assesses everything from gas to depreciation,according to a press release from the association.

“Understanding the real cost of owning and drivinga vehicle will also help people make well-informed deci-sions regarding a vehicle purchase and may influencehow they use their vehicle and how often they’ll choose todrive,” Ken Cousin, the association’s associate vice-presi-dent of Road Assist, said in the release. “If they decide todrive less frequently, they may end up saving money.”

The calculator provides yearly figures by vehicle make,class and province. Users can input their own informationto get an extremely accurate picture or use representativefigures supplied by CarDATA Inc. to get a good estimateof their annual driving costs, the release stated.

The calculator also displays the annual greenhouse gasemissions for the vehicle selected and compares them tothe best-in-class for that class of vehicle.

Driving Costs is now available on the association’swebsite at bcaa.com/drivingcostscalculator.

South girls to wild cardThree times lucky was

not in the cards for theBurnaby South Rebelsat the Crehan Cup highschool girls’ basketballchampionships.

The Rebel girls lostthe consolation final 83-74 to the Richmond No. 1Steveston-London Sharksat the Mainland champion-ships. Steveston-Londonearned an automatic berthinto the AAA girls’ pro-vincial championships.South must play a wild-card matchup on Tuesdayagainst Fraser Valley hon-orable mention Yale.

It was the third gamethisseasonbetweenthetwohigh school programs andthe first loss by South tothe Richmond champions.South won the two previ-ous meetings between thetwo teams in tournamentplay, but unforced turn-overs and untimely shoot-ing played into the handsof the win-hungry Sharksthis time.

Junior guard AliyaPrasad was almost unstop-pable, knocking down31 points for the Sharks,including six three-point-ers. Nineteen of Prasad’spoints came in a turn-around second quarterthat knotted the game at40-40 at the half.

“We were determined,really determined,” saidPrasad after the game.“Our coach really wantedit. He wanted it for us.It was awesome. This iswhen it counted.”

Desiree Lister was aconstant force for South,scoring 18 of her team-high21 points in the first half.She also had 10 rebounds.But it was a lot to ask ofthe 5-10 junior forward.

In the second half,Steveston-London shutdown the low post andSouth had little answersfor Prasad and seniorguard Anmol Mattu, who

scored 16 of her 24 pointsin the final frame, includ-ing a perfect 10-for-10from the foul line downthe stretch.

Burnaby hoopteams to LMboys’ semifinal

For the first time in per-haps decades, Burnabyhigh school teams will notbe eliminating each otherfrom Lower Mainland boys’basketball playdowns.

Both Burnaby Mountainand Burnaby South ensuredthemselves a berth in theLower Mainland semifinalsfollowing memorable winslast Thursday.

Mountain can consideritself lucky following a 75-73 overtime win over ByrneCreek in the second roundof Lower Mainland highschool boys’ basketball.

The Mountain Lions,85-72 upset winners overByrne Creek in the BurWestchampionship bannergame just a week earlier,were leading by 20 pointslate in the final quarterbefore Byrne Creek stageda monumental rally, tyingthe game 65-65 following alayin by David Majstorovicwith just three seconds lefton the clock.

In OT, Byrne’s WilsonAnteros scored sixpoints, including the go-ahead bucket on an assistfrom Glen Morgan, butMountain’s Jaryn Baileydelighted the lively 300-plus fans, who packedthe standing-room-onlyMountain gym, scoring thegame-winning basket withjust seconds left.

Bailey led all scorerswith a game-high 30 points,while Atdhe Harjrizi added25.

“We all let up, wethought we had this in the

bag. Our coach said, ‘Oncethe opposition is down,keep them down,’” Baileysaid, adding the teammust work even hardernow. “We’ve moved intouncharted waters. Wehaven’t been there.”

Nathal George led theBulldogs’ comeback, scor-ing 13 of his 17 points in thesecond half. Majstorovicalso scored 17 points, whileAnteros chipped in with16.

“The boys seeem tolike to do it the hard way,so I guess, we’ll do it thehard way,” said ByrneCreek assistant coach ClintLomax.

Mountain will move onto play Burnaby South at8:15 p.m. on Wednesday,Feb. 27 at Kitsilano. ByrneCreek will play John Oliveron Tuesday, also at Kits, at4:45 p.m.

At St. George’s, Southdid the near-impossible,upsetting No. 5-rankedSaints by an 84-83 score onThursday.

With just one second lefton the clock, Nick Garchawas fouled while grabbingan offensive rebound andmade the ensuing game-winning free throw to putSouth in the Final Four.

“It was an amazing winfor our boys,” said Southhead coach David Smith.“When we’re firing on allcylinders, we’re a goodteam.”

In past years, BurWestteams often matched upwith each other on the con-solation side of the draw


Clan women clinch second place; coach gets 300th win

Saturday was a special day forthe Simon Fraser University women’sbasketball team.

The Clan locked up second placein the Great Northwest conferencefollowing a 73-52 victory over third-place Northwest Nazarene on Senior’sNight at the West Gym.

The timely win, SFU’s first in threeyears against Northwest Nazarene,also proved to be the 300th victory inthe career of Clan head coach BruceLangford.

“I guess it’s an appropriate time

to get 300,” said Langford in a Clanpress release. “I’m more happy aboutclinching second place than anything.NNU is a team we haven’tplayed well against and weplayed well tonight.”

All Langford’s collegiatewins have come in 12 yearsas head coach at SFU. Duringthat run, Langford guidedthe Clan to five CanadianInteruniversity Sport titlesbefore the program wasaccepted into the NCAA.

It was also the final home gamesfor seniors Nayo Raincock-Ekunwe,Kristina Collins and Carla Wyman.

Raincock-Ekunwe did not dis-appoint, recording her 57th careerdouble-double with a game-high 23

points and 10 rebounds.SophomoreErinChambers

With the win, SFUimproved its conferencerecord to 13-3.

The Burnaby Devils upset PacificCoast regular season championRichmond 10-6 in the B.C. under-14youth field lacrosse championshipson Sunday.

Joel Sinclair and Josh Dumontboth tallied hat tricks to leadBurnaby to the gold medal. BradyFrench scored a pair of goals, whileMackenzie Burns was named thegame MVP for the winners.

“We had a tough time getting tothe provincials,” said u-14 coach JeffBurns, following a midseason pro-motion to Tier I and a subsequentappeal that overturned the leaguedecision. “The game was evenlyplayed. It goes to show it really wasour level. But it wasn’t a cakewalk.”

Burnaby jumped out to a 4-1 leadin the fourth quarter and led by asmuch as five goals before Richmondstaged a mini rally.

But with the clock on its side andTavin Grant stuck on Richmond’stournament MVP Tyler Moxin,Burnaby managed to keep the leadthroughout.

Burnaby was unbeaten at the pro-vincials despite just 14 players onthe team roster, beating Pacific Rim,North Shore, Kelowna and Valleyalong the way.

Brandon Toor was solid in goal forthe u-14s, while long poles BrendanZaph and Robert French anchored a

solid back line.The u-16 Devils missed a chance

to go to the provincial finals follow-ing a 7-6 loss to eventual silver med-allist Mission in the semifinal.

Leading 5-2 in that match,Burnaby had a goal called back on astick check and seemed to lose steamafter that.

The Devils lost the bronze-medalfinal 11-8 to Nanaimo in a rematchof the opening tournament matchupthat the mid-Island also won 11-9over the host team.

The Burnaby teens were 2-1 inpool play, including a 12-6 win overregular season Tier 2 championRichmond.

“We’ve shot better… but it was our turn-overs that killed us,” saidSouth coach Merv Magus.“(South) has played inpressure. They’ve playedSteveston-London before.They were really hot, butwe weren’t.

“It didn’t seem likethey were relaxed. Theyreally wanted to get to theprovincials.”

On Friday, the Rebelsovercame a six-point defi-cit in the third quarter to

defeat Kitsilano 58-51 inthe backdoor semifinal atBurnaby South on Friday.

Brar scored threestraight three-pointersbetween the third andfourth quarters to give theRebels their first lead of thesecond half, sparking theLower Mainland hosts toa 22-11 final quarter overthe westside Vancouverschool.

The turning point camewith five minutes left,when Brar made both foulshots to give South a four-point lead after the Kitscoach drew a technical

foul. Brar led all scorerswith 26 points, includingfour of her six treys com-ing in the second half.

Moments later, Brardished an assist to Lister,who made the layin togive South an uncatchablesix-point advantage.

Lister, who led Southwith 15 points and ninerebounds in Thursday’s30-point loss to Argyle,scored a key double-dou-ble against Kits, netting12 points and 12 second-half boards, including fouroffensive rebounds in thesecond half.
