Back in 2002, retired Burnaby teacherMike Jones was sitting in his officein the first week of classes at Alpha

Secondary, when he first heard of DesiCollinson.

“I remember a young boy come runningin and saying, ‘Mr. Jones, you have to see thisguy playing in the gym,’” said Jones.

That guy was Collinson,a First Nations studenttransfer to the NorthBurnaby school from whatwas then called the QueenCharlotte Islands before theReconciliation Act of 2010renamed the North Coastarchipelago “Islands of theHaida People.”

Matt Rachar, who wasan up-and-coming junior post on the Alphasenior boys’ team, also remembers the firstday Collinson walked over to ConfederationPark and singularly took over a game ofpickup basketball.

“(Collinson) dominated the games,” saidRachar, who went on to set a B.C. high schoolrecord with Alpha for most field goals ina provincial tournament before embark-ing on a successful five-year hoop career atthe University of B.C. and later turning proin Austria. “We were ecstatic to hear thathe was moving to Burnaby and would beattending Alpha. That was a huge turningpoint.”

Alpha head coach Wayne Best remem-bers Collinson and his buddy Duane Alsop,who followed his friend to Alpha in 2003, as“tough and passionate.”

“He’s always looking for the positive. …I’m just beaming with pride,” Best said of hiscommitment to the youth.

Collinson, a first team Lower Mainlandall-star, helped Alpha to its first AAA pro-vincial tournament and a top-eight finishin 2003, averaging more than 18 points pergame and placing fourth in overall free throwpercentage, potting 21-of-24 in four games.

After graduation, Collinson attendedLangara College but returned home beforefinishing his studies.

RCMP probetouches onLib donations

The RCMP’s Federal Serious andOrganized Crime Unit is asking questionsabout former MLA Harry Bloy and theLiberal leadership race, the Burnaby NOWhas learned.

Two RCMP officers recently questionedCoquitlam resident Sanjay Sharma abouthis Liberal party membership renewal andwhether he received a PIN number andinstructions to vote in the party’s 2011leadership race. Sharma was told he was awitness in what “may or may not be some-thing.”

“The first question out of their mouthswas, ‘Are you affiliated with any party?’”Sharma told the NOW. “And I said, ‘Ibelieve I signed up for a Liberal (party)membership when Christy Clark was run-ning.’”

The officers were questioning Sharmaabout an event he attended, in which herenewed his Liberal party membershipwith Bloy, who was then the MLA forBurnaby-Lougheed. Sharma paid cash torenew, then later received instructions inthe mail on how to vote online for one offour candidates vying for leadership of theB.C. Liberals – Kevin Falcon, Christy Clark,George Abbott and Mike de Jong.

The RCMP officers asked Sharma if heremembered how much he paid and wheth-er he remembered voting online, which hedid. It’s not clear what exactly the investi-gation is focused on, because RCMP can’tcomment.

However, last fall, B.C.’s Criminal JusticeBranch appointed a special prosecutor tohelp police with an ongoing investiga-tion into contraventions of the provincialElection Act.

The RCMP were investigating issuesconnected to the review of the draft

tool to bring you somewhere else,” Collinsonsaid in a recent long-distance call.

Collinson, now a First Nations youth work-er on Haida Gwaii, is making a return trip tothe Lower Mainland this week.

The 28-year-old will be leading theQueen Charlotte Saints single A basket-ball team to perhaps the biggest, singlechallenge that any provincial high schoolteam has ever attempted.

The Saints, which even by single Astandards is considered tiny, will beattempting the near impossible whenthey enter the B.C. high school quad Aboys’ basketball championship againstthe No. 4-ranked and defending pro-vincial champion Walnut Grove Gatorstoday (Wednesday).

The team is led by two of the bestplayers in the province, 6-6 forwardJesse Barnes and guard Nathan Vogstad,who recently committed to Simon FraserUniversity for next season.

“Our kids are tough, playing againstmen makes you tough and playing onHaida Gwaii makes you tough,” saidQueen Charlotte Secondary instructorDave Wahl, who played varsity basket-ball at SFU in the late 1990s.

For Desi Collinson, basketball has,and continues to be, the key to openingup doors.

He is a three-time MVP at the All-Nativebasketball championships and the winner

of the men’s war dance competition at theisland’s museum anniversary celebration forthe last five years running.

“Desi works his kids hard - like he plays,”said Wahl, who helps out Collinson on the

bench. “Just last week, he broke his hand inthe opening quarter of a game, but he justplayed on it. He’s something else. The kidsreally look up to him.”

Collinson is well rooted in his Haida cul-ture and uses myth and song as a complementto his on-court strategies on the recreationcentre’s old-growth log floor or when runningwith his team along the stony beaches of the

rugged north coast.“Culture is just so strong,” he

said. “Finding who you are is goingto make you a better player and abetter person.”

The long journey to the provin-cial championships in Langley islikely as much about finding thatplace as winning to Collinson.

“It’s about inspiring the unin-spired. It makes a better commu-nity, in the end,” he added.

Win or lose, the Saints will nodoubt return to Haida Gwaii witha greater understanding of whatit means to meet a challenge thatan entire community has activelybacked you on.

Collinson remembers the anxietyof his first time at the provincials.He got over it by believing, “This iswhat I came down for.”

Wahl says, the story that isbeing written by these young menis less about basketball and more“about the four years they’ve spenttogether.”

After these provincials, the 12-memberSaints squad from Haida Gwaii will surelyagree with Collinson, when he says, “This isthe place I want to be.”

Recycling changes may be costlyThe Burnaby Board of Trade

supports a growing call for theprovincial government to put thebrakes on B.C.’s new recyclingregime, set to launch May 19.

Paul Holden, president andCEO of the board of trade, saysthere needs to be more consulta-tion before the province pressesahead with the revised recyclingrules.

“There are still groups outthere that are concerned abouthow this affects their sector,” saidHolden.

“I think there is sufficient meritin pausing for a while and look-ing at it again to see what sort ofimpact it will have.”

Holden said the BurnabyBoard of Trade expressed con-

cerns about the program duringearlier consultations, especiallywith the speed with which itwas being implemented. He saidBurnaby has a number of busi-nesses impacted by the recyclingchanges.

Holden was responding to thelaunch on Monday of a campaignby a coalition of B.C. business-es asking Environment MinisterMary Polak and Premier ChristyClark to hit the pause button onthe contentious recycling rulesthey say will kill jobs and increasered tape.

Mike Klassen, B.C. director ofprovincial affairs for the CanadianFederation of IndependentBusiness (CFIB) called on Clark inparticular to rethink the rules.

“It’s better to hit the pause but-ton and rethink this rather than

Raising the alarm: Peter Kvarnstrom, chair of the CanadianNewspaper Association, is part of a coalition of businesses that sayB.C. needs to rethink its recycling rules.

being stuck with a bad lawon May 19,” said Klassen.“There are way too manybusinesses balking at it.”

Nine major businessassociations representingtens of thousands of B.C.small businesses and theiremployees have formed acoalition and launched acampaign to protest regula-tory changes involving therecycling of printed-paperand packaging.

The Rethink It, B.C.!campaign is launching amedia and social mediablitz with ads running in130 newspapers across theprovince.

The new regulationsshift the responsibility forpaying for recycling pack-aging and other paper prod-ucts from consumers to theproducts’ producers. Multi-Material B.C. (MMBC), anOntario-based industrygroup that includes gro-cery giant Loblaws, mega-retailer Walmart and theTim Hortons fast foodempire, runs the new pro-gram, scheduled to launchMay 19.

Klassen said the rulechanges will hurt thou-sands of businesses whowill have to pass the recy-cling costs on to their cus-tomers.

The Rethink It, BC!Coalition includes busi-nesses in the agriculture,newspaper publishing,landscaping, printing andcustom manufacturing,retail, wholesale, food, andwaste collection sectors.

The coalition alsoincludes the B.C. and YukonCommunity NewspapersAssociation (BCYCNA).The Burnaby NOW and itspartner newspapers in theGlacier Media chain aremembers of the BCYCNA.

Canadian NewspaperAssociation Chair PeterKvarnstrom (also presi-dent of B.C. operations forGlacier Media Group) saidhanding B.C.’s recyclingprograms over to an orga-nization run out of Torontomakes no sense.

“B.C. is the first jurisdic-tion in the world wherethe government has abdi-

cated its responsibility andhanded the whole recyclingsystem over to a group ofmulti-national organiza-tions run from Bay Street,”said Kvarnstrom.

“Decisions on B.C.’srecycling programs arebeing made in offices inToronto and local busi-nesses have not been con-sulted.”

Ministry of Environmentspokesperson David Crebosaid the intent behind theMMBC program shifts thecost of recycling from tax-payers to the companies

who produce the packag-ing and other materials. Itshould provide incentivesto industry to reduce pack-aging.

Some 86 communities

have signed on for theMMBC program, whichprovide recycling servicesto over 1.25 million house-holds, or 73 per cent of B.C.residents.

Some Burnaby councillors say it’s betterto tear down the Pattullo Bridge and notreplace it, rather than build a new, tolledfour-lane crossing.

That was among the councillors’reactions to a presentation from NewWestminster Coun. Bill Harper, whoappeared in front of Burnaby councilMonday night to discuss his city’s pro-posal to replace the Pattullo with a new

tolled, four-lane bridge.New Westminster is starting a tour

across the Lower Mainland to present itsposition on a replacement bridge, and itsfirst stop was Burnaby council in an effortto rally support for its vision.

“New Westminster already had signifi-cant traffic challenges due to our locationat the centre of the region and this trafficis already affecting the livability and eco-nomic viability of the city, and indeed theregion,” Harper said to council. “Addingthe Pattullo as a free alternative only exac-erbated the negative impacts on our resi-dents and businesses. And I’m sure that’sthe case in Burnaby, as well, since a goodsizeable portion of the traffic comes across

An unusual gathering atPremier Christy Clark’slegislature office last

week served as a reminder ofsome of the challenges facing theNew Democratic Party as it con-tinues to rebuild after last year’sdevastating election defeat.

A Who’s Who of B.C.’s orga-nized labour movement metwith Clark to see if there wasany common ground on threeissues: raising the minimumwage, reducing the reliance onforeign workers and increasingthe number of apprenticeships atwork sites.

Almost a dozen union lead-ers huddled with Clark in heroffice, which is about 100 metresfrom NDP leader Adrian Dix’soffice. But when B.C. Federationof Labour president Jim Sinclairappeared at Clark’s side in ajoint news conference after-wards, the distance seemedmuch greater.

This was another example ofthe labour movement – tradi-tionally a strong supporter of theNDP – making a bet that it wasbetter to do business with Clarkand her government, rather than

simply aligning itself with theOpposition New Democrats.

The first such episode of thisevolving relationship betweenlabour and the B.C. Liberalscame last fall, when Sinclairand building trades head TomSigurdson shared a public plat-form with Clark, to announcethey had formed a joint com-mittee to develop a skilledworkforce that will be needed todevelop the LNG industry.

Framed against these devel-opments is the ongoing internaldebate within the NDP thatgoes to the heart of the party’sincreasingly tense relationshipwith at least parts of the labourmovement.

The NDP cannot decidewhere it stands on a criticalissue: the creation of jobs innatural resource industries. Andso it finds itself struggling tohold onto the support of thoseprivate sector union memberswhose livelihoods may dependon these jobs.

This issue will likely domi-nate the party’s leadership race.The only declared candidate– MLA Mike Farnworth – hasalready been criticized by someof his caucus colleagues for dar-ing to suggest the party take aneutral position on the proposedKinder Morgan pipeline.

Farnworth has also run afoulof the positions of two NDP-friendly mayors, as both

Just say non to this fear-mongering campaignQuebec Premier Pauline Marois is

hoping to lead the Parti Québécois toa majority government on April 7, andshe’s planning to do it the old-fash-ioned way: by appealing to the fearfuland those stuck in the past.

She has targeted “overt reli-gious symbols” in her muchballyhooed charter of values,a transparent attempt to court the heartsand minds of the xenophobic.

The great writer Anatole France once

commented that the law, in its majes-tic equality, forbids the rich and pooralike to sleep under bridges, beg in thestreets and steal loaves of bread. By thesame token, Marois’ charter of values

forbids Christians, Muslimsand Sikhs alike from wearinghijabs, niqabs and turbans inthe public service.

If Marois is successful next month, itwill be because of her focus on symbols.

Her focus on the tangible has been

far less successful.Quebec lost 26,000 jobs in February.

The province’s unemployment rate nowsits at 7.8.

Those numbers are a stark contrastto her lead in the polls, which currentlysits at 22 points.

And more than any other provin-cial race, Quebec’s election could carrynational consequences.

After its failure nearly 20 years ago,Quebec separatism is once more in the

spotlight.While shifting demographics may

not be in the favour of the Yes side inanother referendum, it is a painful,bruising process for the country as awhole.

The rewards sought by those whopush for an independent Quebec aremainly symbolic. We urge Quebecers tochoose their symbols carefully.

Are B.C. Liberalscourting labour?

Playing ‘name that bill’ with TelusDear Editor:

We’ve had the Olympic Games, now we’ve gotthe annual Telus Games where the future of yourbill is a mystery.

As one of their longtime, so-called “loyal” cus-tomers I’m told I have a discount rate of $42 permonth for basic phone and Internet service. Thecatch is that every year that rate jumps back to theusual rate unless you phone them and threaten totake your business elsewhere.

This time my latest bill for February jumped to$67. So I phoned them once again, and someonefrom the customer loyalty department said he couldreduce my bill by $10 a month for six months. Then

I’d have to phone in again.Well, two days later I decided to phone them

again and ask for the customer loyalty departmentto see if I could do a better deal. And guess what.Now I’m back to $42 a month but only for sixmonths. Then I have to phone and play the gameagain.

How can you have any respect for a companythat charges whatever rate you’ll accept, it seems?This is the result of deregulation of the telecommu-nications industry.

My trust and respect for Telus is gone, not to for-get B.C. Hydro either with their smart meter games.If you can’t trust a company to charge you a fairrate, then you certainly can’t trust the company.

IN MY OPINIONKeith Baldrey

LETTERS TO THE EDITORGovernment looks foolishDear Editor:

According to Education Minister PeterFassbender, a teacher attending a districtmeeting obtained a document outlining aB.C. Teachers’ Federation strike plan andpassed it on to the government.

What does the minister do? Does hethink maybe the release of a strike planbefore the results of a strike vote aretabulated is extremely unusual? Does heattempt to verify the authenticity of thedocument?

No, what he immediately does is dis-

tribute copies to journalists and raise thealarm of classroom disruption.

Given the history of the relationshipbetween the government and teachers,one cannot be faulted for wondering if thiswhole matter was staged.

The minister assures us that “that’s notthe way we operate.”

We are left wondering, however,whether he is referring to the suggestionof government dirty tricks or its knee-jerkresponse.

Either way, Fassbender and the govern-ment look pretty foolish.

Bill Brassington, Burnaby

Vancouver’s GregorRobertson and Burnaby’sDerek Corrigan stronglyoppose the Kinder Morganproject.

Farnworth (and fellowMLA John Horgan, shouldhe decide to run forleader) advocate policiesthat are more acceptingof natural resource indus-tries, but there are many,many folks in their partywho vehemently opposesuch a shift.

Take the issue of frack-ing, which is used toextract natural gas fromdeep in the ground. Theparty is committed to areview of the practice,but the outright banningof fracking is a favouriteposition of many environ-mental groups as well asNDP activists.

Of course, if frackingwas banned, the exist-ing natural gas industry(which ironically grew sig-nificantly because of poli-cies of the NDP govern-ment in the 1990s) would

collapse, thus robbingthe provincial treasury ofhundreds of millions ofdollars.

There are other hot-button issues that putsome New Democrats inknots of course: mining,liquefied natural gas, portdevelopment, privatepower projects – the list isa long one.

These industries notonly create jobs, but well-paying jobs – precisely thekind sought after by thelabour movement.

So when not one, nottwo, but almost a dozentop labour leaders meetwith the head of the B.C.Liberals to talk about jobs,that’s not a good thing ifyou’re a New Democratstruggling to maintain theparty’s traditional identityas a workers’ party.

Now, to be clear, theB.C. Federation of Labourand its members are stillsupporters of the NDP andthey’re not going to holdany fundraisers for ChristyClark anytime soon.

But those NDP tieshave become somewhatstrained, as labour lead-ers realize their members’interests come well aheadof those of the environ-mental movement.

Some New Democratswho realize that turningtheir backs on the naturalresource sector is a recipefor electoral disaster havespoken out.

Former NDP premierDan Miller and formersenior NDP aide BillTieleman have both writ-ten op-ed pieces or col-umns warning the partymay be headed over a cliff.

Don’t be surprised if wesee more labour summitsin the premier’s office.Clark’s political savvy tellsher they not only makegood sense from a publicpolicy point of view, butthey also serve to mag-nify the growing rift inthe party that is her chiefpolitical opponent.

Labour: Should NDP be worried?



the Pattullo Bridge and runs through yourmain connectors.”

Councillors Nick Volkow and DanJohnston said they supported NewWestminster’s four-lane proposal.

However, councillors Colleen Jordan,Paul McDonell and Sav Dhaliwal had dif-ferent ideas on how to deal with the PattulloBridge issue.

McDonell said truck traffic should beforced back on to the Port Mann Bridge,and the Pattullo should be torn down andnot replaced at all.

“I don’t know if we really need thatbridge,” he noted. “I’m not being facetious.No bridge at all. Tear it down.”

McDonell also said if a bridge is built, itshouldn’t allow trucks.

“We’ve got to stop, why do we worryabout those people,” he said. “Let themtravel another 15 or 20 kilometres. Whyshould we be building for the convenienceof them and subjecting our citizens to theoutpouring of all of the problems we havewith them?”

Jordan echoed McDonell’s opinion oftearing down the bridge and not replacingit, or if the new bridge could ban truck traf-fic like the Lion’s Gate Bridge.

Dhaliwal had a different idea, which is toconnect McBride Boulevard with Highway1 because 10th Avenue, Canada Way andKingsway have all been adversely affectedby the bridge traffic.

“Every car that crosses the Pattullo goesdown through Burnaby,” he said. “We havea lineup here. … Guess where that traffic isgoing? It all flows through Canada Way,10th Avenue, McBride and the Pattullo.”

Mayor Derek Corrigan said Harper canreport back to his city saying that manyBurnaby councillors think “four lanes wastoo generous.”

“There hasn’t been a decision made,but certainly you can tell that most of usare worried about the impact of that trafficcoming through our city,” he said.

Corrigan said staff will be working on areport to advise Burnaby on how to proceedregarding New West’s proposal.

multicultural strategic outreach plan, which was at theheart of the Liberals “quick wins” scandal.

While Bloy previously told the NOW he had no knowl-edge of the leaked ethnic vote targeting strategy, a reviewordered by Clark found that Burnaby’s Brian Bonney wasdoing partisan work on taxpayer time, while working forthe provincial government.

The RCMP investigation and special prosecutor appoint-ment was linked to a complaint made by NDP leaderAdrian Dix.

“This investigation relates to concerns the Oppositionraised repeatedly in the Legislature, as well as other seri-ous issues,” Dix said in a statement last August. “I thoughtthese issues were sufficiently serious as to warrant aninvestigation. The RCMP has now undertaken one, and aspecial prosecutor has been appointed.”

Dix offered no further information and opted to let theinvestigation “run its course.”

The NOW tried contacting Bloy and Bonney but did nothear back.

The RCMP said the investigation had “heavy timelines,”and that the first report could be out in May, although theycould not confirm or deny whether it was tied to the ethnicvote scandal.

The NOW contacted David Butcher, the special prosecu-tor, but did not hear back by press time. The NOW alsocontacted Clark’s office for comment, and her assistantsaid she didn’t know anything except what was alreadyreported by the Burnaby NOW and referred us to the B.C.Liberal Party.

“The only comment we have is very simple, it’s ourpolicy to cooperate fully with any questions the authori-ties have, and that will continue to be the case,” said EmileScheffel, spokesperson for the Liberal party.

Well, lookie here.

One minute you have a perfectly good Blue Box recycling program.The next, something new and rather questionable is being put in itsplace. And they thought they’d get away with it right under yournose, without telling you or asking your opinion.

That’s definitely not democracy in action.

The BC Government, elected by us to represent our best interests,has decided to offload the costs of recycling to big multi-nationalcorporations. To implement this new plan, they’ve set up anassociation that doesn’t seem to hold the environment, local jobs, orthe municipalities that run the Blue Box program, close to its heart.

Perhaps that’s why some of our elected officials are using the word“scam” to describe how the new program is being set up. It’s alsoperhaps why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to jump on board.

That’s gotta tell you something.

Now it’s your turn to let Premier Christy Clarkknow what you think. Contact her today to saythat dismantling an already-working recyclingprogram to replace it with something that fewpeople think will be as good, is a bad idea.

What’s going on here?

Burnaby Village Museum wants totransport residents into the world of themovies – and it’s looking for help frompeople in the film industry.

The museum is searching for people tocontribute memorabilia and expertise for aSummer at the Movies exhibition plannedto run at the village this summer.

“The exhibit overall is looking at thekind of experience of going to the moviesin the ’20s and ’30s in Burnaby,” explainedLisa Codd, the museum’s curator.

As part of the exhibit, the museumwants to also explore the history of thefilm industry in Burnaby over the last 20or so years.

“It is a neat place to really think aboutwhat filming was like 100 years ago andsee how things have changed,” Coddsaid.

Codd is hoping to hear from peoplewho have worked on films or TV seriesthat were shot in Burnaby.

She pointed out that many long-run-ning, popular shows – 21 Jump Street,MacGyver, Stargate and Smallville, to namea few – were filmed in Burnaby.

She’s hoping that people will havememorabilia from those and other shows– props, set pieces, costumes, photos,sketchbooks and the like.

And, she said, it’s more than just theobjects: they’re also interested in people’smemories of the filming.

“It doesn’t just have to be stuff,” shesaid. “We’d also just love to hear frompeople with stories.”

The museum is also looking for peoplewho have worked in the industry whowould be willing to share their storiesand demonstrate their skills on site, orwho might have old equipment to dem-onstrate.

Codd noted they’re looking for all kindsof skills, whether it’s set design, costumedesign, special effects, stunts or makeup.

She said the museum’s efforts to docu-ment the history of the film industry are,in fact, unusual.

“It’s largely an undocumented histo-ry,” Codd said, noting that once filmingis over, all traces of the process tend tojust vanish from the public eye. “A lot ofthe objects disappear into prop houses orpeople’s private collections.”

The museum is getting some expertassistance for the project – Mike Kaerne ofBurnaby’s HollyNorth studios is servingas an advisor for the exhibition.

Codd hopes the Summer at the Moviesexhibit will help shed a light on an indus-try that many people simply don’t haveknowledge about.

“We want to lift the veil. We want tolet people inside,” she said, noting it’s inkeeping with the museum’s mission.

“Part of our mandate as Burnaby Village

Museum is to show Burnaby to itself.”Memorabilia would be taken on loan.Anyone with objects to lend is asked

to contact Codd, [email protected],as soon as possible – please provide adescription of the memorabilia you wouldlike to loan, along with a photo if possible.People who are interested in sharing theirstories and expertise as on-site demonstra-tors or storytellers are also asked to emailCodd.

student at the Universityof Florida, is off to anorphanage in Durban,South Africa, where shewill provide speech-lan-guage therapy for childrenand help the caregiverstaff.

“I chose to go to SouthAfrica because there isa high need with thenumber of orphans there– one in five children inthe country are orphans.I’ve always had the desireto work with children inunderserved populations,”she said in a media release.

Maya’s mother is oneof the key organizers forBurnaby’s annual BlackHistory Month celebra-tions.

Robotics starsHundreds of students

from B.C., Washingtonand Alberta descended onBurnaby’s BCIT campusfor a large-scale robot com-petition over the weekend(March 8, 9).

The students werevying for top spot in theregional championshipsof a larger worldwidecontest, organized byRobotics Education and

Competition Foundation, anon-profit organization.

The winning team wasfrom Gladstone Secondary,which has a history of per-forming well in the annualcontest. MoscropSecondary wasthe only Burnabyschool that sent ateam to the compe-tition.

The studentscome with homemaderobots to play a com-petitive game, where theyhave to throw balls intoa goal and remove theiropponents’ objects fromthe goal.

“It takes an under-standing of basic physicsand engineering, under-standing the conceptsof torque and leverageand programming,” said

Lance Balcom ofthe Pacific YouthRobotics Society.

The winners goon to compete in thefinals in California,and the grand prize

is a trophy and braggingrights, Balcom said.

Most of the teams areboys, but Balcom said theyare actively reaching outto encourage more girls toget involved.

Dear Tom and Ray:I’m on a website for own-

ers of a particular make ofcar. I got the idea of print-ing business-card-size cardswith the URL for the siteand briefly spelling out the

benefits: a listserv, a list ofrecommended mechanics, alist of recommended partssources. On a few occasions,I’ve encountered the owner asI was about to leave a card,or just after leaving the card,and the owner was fairlysurly about the whole thing.One prospective recipientseemed quite irritated evenafter I politely explained whatthe card was all about.

I figure there’s no point inarguing with the car ownerin these situations, but Ialways want to say, “I’m nothurting you, or the car!” I

think the surliness is com-pletely uncalled for.What doyou think?

– AndrewTOM: I think people aresurlier these days, espe-cially when it comes tobeing “marketed to.”RAY: Thirty years ago, ourphones weren’t ringing allday with recorded salespitches to visit condos wedon’t want in Del BocaVista, Fla. Our computerbrowsing wasn’t inter-rupted by pop-up ads forweight-loss panties. Ouremail boxes (we didn’t

have email boxes!) weren’toverflowing with Viagraads. Combine that withthe fact that most thingsleft on our windshieldsare unwanted junk, and Ithink you are more likelyto get a grouchy reactionthese days.TOM: There also areissues of personal safetythat you’re tiptoeing into.Between local TV newsand the Internet, we hearabout every weirdo whogets caught in a tutu and abozo wig now, and it’s nowonder some people are

also apprehensive aroundstrangers who approachthem.RAY: You also have peo-ple who are just … what’sthe word for it? Jerks. Somaybe the guy you raninto just woke up on thewrong side of the couchthat his wife made himsleep on that day and feltlike barking at somebody.TOM: But I agree withyou, Andrew, that you’redoing a nice thing forpeople, and I wouldn’t leta few crabs dissuade you.I think a big smile is prob-

ably your best defence.I would find a way toexplain what you’re doingas quickly as possible.RAY: For instance, ifsomeone looks concernedor asks what you’re doingat their car, you mightstart out by saying: “Oh,hi. I have the same car,and there’s a club for own-ers, which I was just leav-ing you a note about. I’mnot selling anything.”

Those who don’tremember theirmedical history may

not necessarily be con-demned to repeat it; youwon’t have your appendixremoved a second time,and you’re unlikely to getmumps again.

However, if you everfind yourself in an emer-gency department, know-ing your own history canhelp those who are look-ing after you.

The current standardis for your family physi-cian to have a summaryof your medical historyat the front of your chart.With computerized offices,there is an electronic ver-sion.

Unfortunately, manypeople don’t have aregular family physician.Knowing your history isessential to complete andoptimal care.

In the past, medicalstudents used to call somepatients “poor historians,”

but they weren’t under-paid academics. Rather,the students had diffi-culty getting the importantdetails from these patients.Being a good historianrequires some familiaritywith medical terms. Hereis a primer for what youshould know.! Allergies: Here we listallergic reactions to drugsor medical materials, suchas IV contrast, latex oradhesives. Many peoplemistake allergies for medi-cation side effects, such asupset stomach, diarrheaand yeast infections withantibiotics.

True allergic reactionsinclude rashes, hives, itch-ing, wheezing, fainting,shortness of breath orswelling of the lips, mouthor face. Severe allergies tofoods and insects shouldalso be listed.! Current medications:Just like us, all drugs havetwo names. The tradename (which is like a firstname) is capitalized and isoften a catchy word madeup by a drug company(for example, Viagra).

The generic name(analogous to a surnamebut written in lowercase)is the name of the actualmolecule (for example,sildenafil). It’s usually

harder for most people toremember.

You should have a listof all your medications,including the dose (e.g. 30mg) and frequency (e.g.once daily or three timesdaily).! Family history: Theproblems of your parentsand siblings are oftengreat predictors of yourhealth risks. Relevant con-ditions include coronaryartery disease (causingangina and heart attacks)strokes, cancer (especiallyof the prostate, ovary,breast and colon), diabe-tes, high cholesterol andhigh blood pressure.

It is also helpful toknow the relative’s ageof onset for any of theseconditions. In general,the more relatives withthe same disease and theearlier the age of onsetcorrelate with a disease’sinheritability.

This knowledge ishelpful in identifying andtreating conditions early.By treating risk factorswith lifestyle changes andsometimes with medica-tions, we may preventheart attacks and strokesor delay the onset of dia-betes.! Operations: It is helpfulto know both the date and

the actual medical termfor each surgery or otherprocedure.! Significant illnesses:This includes the datesand reasons for hospital-izations, chronic diseasesand other significant med-ical conditions. Knowing acondition’s date of diagno-sis can help determine itspotential impact on youroverall health.

The salient details ofyour medical history canbe summarized on a singlesheet of paper. Considerkeeping this summarywith you when travel-ling or in case you haveto attend a hospital or aclinic.

If you already havea thorough knowledgeof your medical history,you’re a step ahead inbeing more in control ofyour own health care.

If you don’t, start writ-ing down the details. Youmay soon be known as agreat historian.

Dr. Davidicus Wong is afamily physician and physi-cian lead of the BurnabyDivision of Family Practice.His Healthwise columnappears regularly in thispaper. You can read moreabout achieving your positivepotential in health at davidicuswong.wordpresss.com.

1 ’Tec grad inspires youth 20 Gr. 8 South wins B.C.s 20 Clan upset by TWU

SECTION COORDINATOR Tom Berridge, 604-444-3022 • [email protected]

Knight girls win B.C. AA bronzeLeilani Carney sparked a second-half come-

back to help lead the St. Thomas More Knightsto a third-place finish at the B.C. high schoolAA girls’ basketball championships.

The Grade 11 guard had a 12-point thirdquarter, including a trio of three-pointers, tolead all Knights in total scoring following an83-67 victory over the Wellington Wildcats inthe bronze-medal match at the Langley EventsCentre on Saturday.

“It was a closegame. We had to getback into it and comeback strong. Wecouldn’t have wonwithout each other,”said Carney

Carney led herteammates in over-all scoring with 60points over the four-day championship,including a 24-pointouting in STM’s 65-57 win over Vernonin the quarter-finals.

A point behindwas junior point

guard Zion Corrales-Nelson, who finished theconsolation final with a game-high 24 pointsand eight steals.

Corrales-Nelson was later named a champi-onship second team all-star and winner of thedefensive player of the tournament, an honourthe talented Grade 10 athlete won last yearwith the runner-up junior Knights.

Senior forward Domunique Booker earneda first team all-star nod for the Knights follow-ing a monster double-double in the bronze-medal win.

Booker scored 18 points and added asmany rebounds in the final, while fellowsenior Meghan Ho played through injury inthe second half, scoring 13, while adding fiverebounds and three blocked shots.

“All the girls were really playing hard. Wereally came out playing off each other,” saidBooker. “We play off emotion, but we alwaysgo in there and battle, and that’s how we’vehad success.”

Ho said the bronze medal felt “amazing.”“I wasn’t going to miss that game. We hadto play with heart, tenacity and fight for the

ball. I was really proud of how we played inthe second half,” she said.

Trailing by just two points in a tight firsthalf, Carney pulled STM even with back-to-back three-pointers, and then gave theBurnaby independent the lead with a perfectthree-for-three at the foul line after she wasfouled attempting another trey.

The Knights then pulled away in the finalframe, outscoring the Wildcats 27-15, includ-

ing seven-for-nine from the charity stripe.First team all-star Ally Keir had a team-

high 20 points for Wellington.STM opened with a 73-54 win over Lambrick

Park behind a 20-point effort from Corrales-Nelson.

The Knights were stopped in the semifinalsby eventual champion Windsor Dukes 64-50.

STM graduates just two starters off its ros-ter for next season.

Clan women earn third seed to NCAAsSecond-half points cost

Simon Fraser University a GreatNorthwest conference title.

SFU led by 10 points headinginto the second half of the champi-onship final, but lost momentumon the defensive glass before fall-ing 78-74 to Western Washingtonin Lacey, Washington in a rematchof last season’s conference final.

But the Clan women’s basket-ball team will get another crack attheir cross-border rival when thetwo NCAA Division II foes meetagain this Friday in the openinground of the national tournament

in Pomona, California.“(Western Washington) is a

team we know really well,” saidClan head coach Bruce Langford.“Maybe we had too big a lead(in the conference final). Whenwe got tentative, we couldn’t getuntentative. I think it’s an excel-lant matchup.”

It will be the fourth meeting thisseason between SFU and WesternWashington with the Clan lookingto even the series and to move onto the second round on March 15.

SFU advanced to the conferencefinal following an 85-74 upset winover regular season champion andNo. 1 seed Montana State Billingson Friday.

“We came out with a lot ofconfidence. It just didn’t last longenough,” said Clan head coachBruce Langford in a school pressrelease. “We had four people con-tribute to the offence, but we couldhave used a little bit more in plac-es. The game was really lost on theoffensive boards. They had waytoo many offensive boards, whichled to second-chance points.”

Senior Marie-Line Petit, whoscored eight of her 18 points in a10-0 Clan start, finished the tour-nament with 54 total points.

Erin Chambers led the Clanwith 28 points. The SFU junioralso registered a team-high 22points in the win over Billings.

Katie Lowen chipped in with13 points, while Chelsea Reistfinished with 11 points andfive rebounds. Sophomore MegWilson led the team in rebound-ing with 11.

In the semifinal, SFU got 30points and 21 assists off the benchin the upset win over MontanaState.

SFU lost its two matchups withBillings during conference playthis season.

Lowen added 17 points, whileWilson had 13 points and eightboards. Reist and Petit both con-tributed a dozen points to thescoreline. Petit also had a team-bestnine rebounds and six assists.
