Living at home wasn’t easy for Burnaby resi-dent Poh Tan, but one thing she knew for certain– she would never be like her parents.

Tan came from a broken home, with her moth-er and father constantly fighting and calling onthe kids to watch. She started seeing a counsellorin Grade 10, after the family had moved fromMalaysia to Burnaby years before.

“I was told when bad things happen you keepit in the family,” she says.

Close to Tan’s graduation, her parents finallysplit up, and the young woman focused on herprovincial exams and getting into university.Her determination to excel and be better thanher parents kept her focused. She was acceptedto SFU to study biology and then the Universityof B.C. to do her PhD on stem cell research. Stemcells can reproduce themselves and make virtu-ally any other cell in the body. She worked in abiotech company till she started her own consult-ing business in 2011, advising companies aroundthe world how best to apply their technology inthe stem cell field.

This weekend, she’s one of the featured speak-ers in the TedX Stanley Park event. TedX is anindependently organized version of the well-known TED Talks, collections of short presenta-tions, featuring non-biased, non-partisan, reli-gious-free innovative ideas. For Tan’s talk, sheplans to debunk some of the misconceptionsaround stem cell research.

“It’s a controversial field, so there are a lot ofgroups who are not knowledgeable about thefield, who make up stories about it,” Tan says.

For instance, when some people hear “stemcell” they imagine babies killed in laboratories,she says.

“That is absolutely not true at all,” she says.There is a certain type of stem cell that can onlybe extracted from a human blastocyst – an egg

Report reveals‘serious breach’ ofstandards

Burnaby’s Brian Bonneywas named multiple timesin a review into the ethnicvote controversy plaguing theLiberals as a provincial elec-tion looms.

Premier Christy Clarkasked for the review, follow-ing the release of a leakeddocument that outlineda Liberal strategy to targetethnic voters, a plan thatinvolved the misuse of gov-ernment resources, accordingto a report released in Victoriaon Thursday.

DeputyministerJohnDybleled the review team, whointerviewed those involvedand reviewed IT records.Dyble’s report found activi-ties took place that involvedboth partisan elements andgovernment activities.

“It is the conclusion of thereview team that there wereviolations of the public ser-vice standards of conduct.There were also differences inthe level of participation andculpability of the participantsin these actions. This rangedfrom passive participation toactive leadership and execu-tion of clearly inappropriateactions,” the report states.“Brian Bonney used theopportunity to take actions

Burnaby residents who live near thesouth end of Forest Lawn Cemetery areangry over trucks going in and out of thesouth gate on pedestrian-heavy roads forthe second phase of construction.

At Monday night’s meeting, more than50 people packed into council chambers fora delegation asking council to enforce itstruck routing bylaw for Royal Oak Avenueand Moscrop Street. If the bylaw’s enforced,it would mean trucks would have to use thecemetery’s north gate and Canada Way,which is the officially designated truckroute closest to the work site.

“You don’t mix trucks with kids,” saidRon Thompson, a resident near the southgate of the cemetery who delivered the del-egation on behalf of his neighbours. “Thecommunity itself is a high-pedestrian areaby the south gate.

“I see tragedy occurring. It’s inevitable.”The cemetery is currently upgrading

its grounds with a new mausoleum onthe north side of the property, which isin Phase 2 and will take six days a weekover two to three months to complete, withapproximately 60 total trips a day.

At a recent meeting of city staff and cem-etery representatives on Feb. 4, a truck rout-ing agreement was proposed that couldallow the construction trucks to use thesouth gate and avoid any bylaw infrac-tions.

The proposed agreement states thedump trucks must maintain low travelspeeds on Moscrop Street, and the truckswill enter the gate on Royal Oak and exitusing the gate on Moscrop Street.

“At the conclusion of the meeting,Zulfiqar (Rafiq, of the City of Burnaby)stated that if trucks entered at the midwayRoyal Oak access and exited at the southMoscrop Street access that they would notbe ticketed and that he would share theagreement outlined herein with city bylawstaff,” state the minutes from the Feb. 4meeting.

But more than 50 residents near RoyalOak Avenue and Moscrop Street signed apetition opposing the proposal.

As part of his delegation, Thompson alsoshowed video of construction trucks exitingthe south gate with students walking downthe road.

Thompson said the trucks should berestricted to entering and exiting using thenorth gate only, which isclosest to the constructionsite and Canada Way.

“We implore you tolook at the northern gate,”Thompson said to council Monday night.“Keep the truck traffic at the greatest dis-tance (from our neighbourhood).

“They’re making their problem ourproblem.”

Mayor Derek Corrigan said the con-struction is under provincial governmentjurisdiction and the city has limited powerover the cemetery’s activities.

“It’s not a plot by city council … in order

to try and make your lives miserable,”Corrigan said to Thompson. “We try andprotect your lives.”

Council asked staff to look into the issueand propose a way to resolve it.

We’ll take the staff’s suggestions andreach an equitable solution,Corrigan added.

“We will have a careful sec-ond look and hopefully (staffwill) come back with a report,”

he said.Coun. Volkow echoed Corrigan’s point

about having limited jurisdiction in this areabut said council does have other options.

“We don’t have a lot of power,” Volkowsaid. “But the power we do have is to askstaff to take another look, (and) enforcingbylaws is one of the tools we have.”

He said it makes sense to him for thetrucks to use the north gate only for the

cemetery upgrade.Thompson said he was satisfied with

council’s reaction.“I feel the city councillors listened care-

fully,” Thompson told the Burnaby NOW.“It always feels good when a councillorsays, ‘I didn’t realize this was a problemand thanks for bringing it to our atten-tion.’”

But to Thompson, the city does have sayover what happens on its streets.

“One of the powers they do have is thetruck routing bylaw,” he said.

Last year, during Phase 1 of the cem-etery upgrade, a similar issue arose overtrucks using the south gate.

Neighbourhood residents broughtit to the city’s attention, and the truckswere ticketed and stopped using MoscropStreet or Royal Oak Avenue, according toThompson.

Let’s talk. From thepersonal to political.

Life in Burnaby

that has been fertilized by sperm– and the cell can only be extract-ed five days after fertilization.That cluster of cells, Tan says, issmaller than the dot of an i in anewspaper.

Another misconception is thatstem cell research is all about clon-ing humans.

There are strict laws againsthuman cloning and the technol-ogy doesn’t exist to do that yet,she says.

“The fact is, cloning is not ascary thing. It’s not even inventedin the lab, it occurs in nature,”she says. “For example, geneti-cally identical twins are clonesof each other, … and it happensnaturally.”

Tan wants people to know thebenefits of stem cells.

“Stem cells can help us inregenerative medicine. They canhelp make tissue to replace dam-aged tissues and organs in thebody,” she says.

For example, if someone burnsa cornea and can’t see, stem cellsfrom the other eye can be trans-planted to the burnt eye. The stem

cells will grow a new cornea, sothe patient can see again.

If both eyes are burned andthere are no stem cells left, cellsfrom skin can be turned into“induced pluripotent” stem cellsto grow corneal tissue in the lab.

“It’s your own DNA still, soyou can guarantee no rejection,and you can transplant that andyou can see,” Tan says.

Tan’s talk, “Myths andMisconceptions on Stem Cells,” isscheduled for Saturday, March 16,at UBC Robson Square.

There are 16 speakers, and Tanis one of two women on the ros-ter.

Tickets are already sold out, butthe event will be live-streamed atwww.tedxstanleypark.com.

Burnaby MLA Richard Lee is voic-ing concerns over a so-called NDPslush fund – money allegedly divert-ed from New Democrat constituencyoffices for partisan purposes.

According to a leaked correspon-dence from the auditor general, theNew Democrats were pooling tax-payer money earmarked for constitu-ency offices –in about $200 per monthfrom every office across B.C. for sev-eral years. Roughly $460,000 was paidto Vancouver-Fraserview candidateGabriel Yiu to conduct outreach isAsian communities.

“A lot of concern, from my under-standing, (is) funding from constitu-ency offices should be used for non-partisan activities. If it’s used for par-tisan activities, I don’t think that’sallowed for that purpose. I don’t knowwhy NDP offices are doing that,” Leesaid. “That’s not appropriate.”

According to the MLA handbook,public funds for constituency officesare not supposed to be used for parti-san causes.

Lee said he’s seen a lot of articles inChinese newspapers authored by Yiuand signed as an advisor to the NDP.

“All of those articles were very crit-

ical of the government, speaking forthe NDP,” he said. “It’s very politicalwriting. If he’s getting paid for doingthat kind of work, it’s really, reallyinappropriate.”

The auditor general’s office is notcommenting on the contents of theleaked document, as the informationwas not part of a public report andis considered confidential. The onlypeople who would have received thedocument from the auditor gener-al’s office are the senior managementof the legislative assembly and thespeaker.

Local NDP MLA Kathy Corrigandirected the NOW to Shane Simpson,the caucus chair, who is handling allmedia requests for this issue.

Simpson told the NOW the NewDemocrats did pool funds, but theycleared the plan with the financial con-troller, who administered the account.

“We don’t believe we did anythinguntoward with this money,” Simpsonsaid. “All the money was spent on thecaucus. Not 10 cents of this went to theNDP. There’s no connection betweenthis fund and the New DemocraticParty. It’s all spent on caucus memberand caucus initiatives aimed at pro-viding multicultural support to mem-bers and their constituencies.”

According to Simpson, Yiu was

hired in 2005 and paid about $50,000 ayear for multicultural work before thepooled funds account was set up in2007, so only $300,000 of the $460,000paid to Yiu was from the pooled fundsaccount.

“(Yiu)’s been a political commenta-tor in the Chinese media since wellbefore 2005 and has for over a decadebeen a commentator in the media,”Simpson said, adding that Yiu was nottold what to do with his own time.

“We were very specific in what hedid for us, that was support for MLAs,it was advice around cultural issuesand protocol in communities, it wascoordination of events, those kindsof things,” he said. “When we weredoing commentary in the media asthe NDP, that was done by membersof the legislature.”

Simpson said he gets $119,000 ayear to run his constituency office,and the MLA handbook outlines ruleson how that money is spent. When indoubt, one should ask the legislativecontroller for advice, which the NDPdid, Simpson explained.

“We followed the advice we weregiven by the financial officer of thelegislature. Clearly, the auditor gen-eral, on some issues, did not agreewith the advice the controller gaveus,” Simpson said.

In response to Steve Hill’sletter to the editor, Agingpipeline is worrisome, in the

March 8 edition of the BurnabyNOW, Trans Mountain hascomprehensive initiatives thatcontribute to the continued safeoperation of thepipeline, a criticalpiece of B.C.’s energyinfrastructure fornearly 60 years.

Maintaining the pipeline isassured with an integrity man-agement program. Managed bya team of dedicated experts, thisincludes regular pipeline inspec-tions, maintenance and repairinitiatives.

This program also identifiespreventive measures to stophazards from impacting on theintegrity of the pipeline.

While construction, qualityassurance and quality controlstandards have improved sincethe line was constructed, stronginstallation practices were alsoin place 60 years ago.

Our testing and inspectionpractices indicate that the pipemeets today’s requirements.

Trans Mountain has foundthe coating used on the pipelineis excellent and continues toperform exceptionally well. Wecomplete coating assessmentsevery time the pipe is exposedand the vast majority of ourassessments indicate that thepipe coating remains in verygood condition and poses nothreat when undisturbed.

Kinder Morgan also has strictsafety practices and proceduresaround working with the pipecoating to protect our work-ers and the environment whenpipeline maintenance is beingperformed.

To further help pre-vent corrosion, TransMountain also has aneffective cathodic pro-

tection system in place.Trans Mountain uses “smart

pigs” – highly technical inspec-tion tools that examine the pipewall to detect changes in pipe-line condition and wall thick-ness.

Each pipeline segment isinternally inspected every fiveyears with tools that accuratelymap any areas where metalloss may have occurred. Theseinspection activities allow us toreliably monitor for the pres-ence of any internal or externalcorrosion. When these or otherirregularities are detected thatcan affect the integrity of thepipe, they are repaired.

We also conduct regular aer-ial and ground patrols of thepipeline to look for any irregu-larities or unauthorized activitiesalong the pipeline corridor.

Trans Mountain is regulatedby the National Energy Board.We are regularly audited bythe board with a definite focuson integrity. We are constantlybeing encouraged to strive for

Stepping over the blurry lines in governmentOf one thing we are sure – very sure.

Brian Bonney has been a very busy man.The affable Burnaby resident has

always been ‘the guy’ in the politicalright-wing backrooms as far as Burnabyis concerned. He told theBurnaby NOW a couple ofyears ago that he became enam-oured with politics when, at 17,he found himself owning hisfirst business and with that developed anew group of friends in the “free enter-prise” Burnaby Voters’ Association.

While we would stop short of call-

ing him a zealot – his loyalty to the freeenterprise cause is deep. He worked inthe trenches with the old Social CreditParty of B.C. and the federal ProgressiveConservatives.

In between, and some-times at the same time, he haslaunched two telecommunica-tions businesses (with MLAHarry Bloy), worked as the

director of sales with a New Westminsterbusiness (Uniserve), worked with theCanadian Federation of IndependentBusinesses – and, of course, was the

director of operations for five years forthe B.C. Liberal Party. He also ran ChristyClark’s campaign for leader. He thenmorphed into a communications directorfor the provincial government. His mostrecent job – and the one he is in now – isCEO of the Canadian Homebuilders’Association of B.C.

It’s no wonder his name keeps crop-ping up everywhere. He must have anemail contact list that makes the WhiteHouse’s look like a little black book.

The last time he was “outed” in emailswas during the Burnaby Hospital com-

munity committee report brouhaha. Notsurprisingly – he was part of that conver-sation.

To be sure, John Dyble’s report(see story on front page) is damning ofBonney, who was basically working asa Liberal operative while being paid outof taxpayer funds. But it really shouldn’tcome as a shock to anyone who has beenfollowing the workings of the Liberalparty in recent years. The line betweencampaigning and running a province isbecoming more and more blurred. This isjust another cynical example.

Stop smoking near non-smokersDear Editor:

Re: Butt out outside, Burnaby NOW, March 1.I read your article in the March 1 issue and

strongly agree that it would be nice if all smokerswere required to confine their smoking only to thoseareas where non-smokers wouldn’t have to breath intheir second-hand smoke.

The harmful effects of second-hand smoke arewell-known, and non-smokers should not have to beforced to risk the long-term effects caused by breath-ing in second-hand smoke.

My wife and I do a lot of walking in the area andare offended when we have to stand at a street cross-ing, waiting for the light to change to green for us,

and we are surrounded by smokers puffing away,not caring about those around them. The cornersof Kingsway and Willingdon Avenue, Hazel Streetand all the way down to Royal Oak Avenue, areparticularly bad for this. In some of these areas thereare training schools along the street and the studentsoften smoke, en masse, on the corners during theirbreak time.

There are also many restaurants where patronsgo out and stand on the street to light up and pollutethemselves and everyone passing by. Outside theMetrotown library and the SkyTrain stations are alsoheavily polluted.

There is a further problem: these areas are alsolittered with cigarette butts. The sidewalks and the

gutters along the curbs are full of thephysical pollution of discarded cigarettes.When it rains, they get washed down thestorm sewers and swept into the riverswhere the aquatic wildlife consume thesepollutants not knowing it can shorten theirlife significantly.

We know that non-smokers in B.C.heavily outnumber the smokers, so whycan’t we get some legislation passed andthen enforced, so we can all enjoy the cleanair that we have here in B.C.? Could theClean Air Coalition of B.C. not get moreactive in this area?

We enjoy a beautiful city in Burnaby, butit is fast becoming a dirty and unhealthyplace to reside.

Thank you, TransLinkDear Editor:

Re: Shuttle stays put, Burnaby NOW,March 1.

I would like to thank TransLink for for-mally committing to retaining the C1 andC2 bus routes.

These routes are critical, especially forseniors and others who rely on transit fordirect access to the services they need on adaily basis in addition to the vibrant shop-ping existing Burnaby Heights.

It is encouraging to see TransLink takingthe time to really listen to our community.

Many local residents told me they wereconcerned about the loss of these TransLinkroutes.

As your paper reported, the most vocalwere from Seton Villa where residents relyon these buses to get them to the Heightswhere some have been shopping for closeto 30 years.

It is important for everyone who regu-larly uses these buses to know that it wasthis dedicated group of North Burnabyseniors who championed this issue andultimately saved the bus routes.

Please thank these seniors the next timeyou travel on the bus. They are the reasonit is still running.

Kennedy Stewart, Burnaby-Douglas MP

Grateful for neighboursDear Editor:

Late last year, my husband became illand had to spend three weeks in hospital,and when he was discharged he couldn’tdo too much in our yard or garden. Wehave a big backyard and vegetable garden.

Frank, who lives in the second houseto our right, helped plant our garden (hebrought his own tomato plants.)

He would also come over and weed thegarden and trim our plants and yard.

Walter (next door) would, when hemowed his lawn, also mow ours.

Jason, to our left, when he mowed hisyard, would mow that portion of ours nextto his.

Ralph, next to Jason, would mowbetween the street and sidewalk and clipthe edges.

When I first wrote this, it was in hopesthat I could nominate these good neigh-bours for the Burnaby Citizen of the Yearaward. Unfortunately it did not qualify forthe award nominations.

My neighbours are truly good citizens,and I very much appreciated their quiet,steadfast help during our challenging time.

that violate public service standards ofconduct and financial and procurementpolicy. Brian Bonney did not create a cleardistinction between his volunteer role withthe B.C. Liberal Party and his role in thepublic service. His actions result in a seri-ous breach of the standards of conduct.”

The report also states, “it is clear that atleast a portion of Brian Bonney’s salary waspaid for time when he was doing partisanwork.”

The leaked ethnic strategy email, datedJanuary 2012, was sent by Clark’s then dep-uty chief of staff Kim Haakstad to a numberof government staffers, including Bonney,who was handling communications for theministry of multiculturalism at the time.

Burnaby-Lougheed MLA Harry Bloy,who recently told the NOW he had noknowledge of the leaked strategy, also toldthe review team the same thing and that helearned about it in the news. Bloy was min-ister of state for multiculturalism till March,2012, when John Yap took over.

The original leaked email suggested set-ting up an “ethnic database.” While thereview found no evidence of such a data-base, lists were generated for events and torecord attendance.

“The IT security review shows lists (gen-erally containing names, titles, addresses,email and phone numbers) being sharedfrom the government email accounts tothe personal accounts of Brian Bonney andFiera Lo. IT security records show thatBrian Bonney forwarded over 1,100 emailsfrom his government account to one of threepersonal email accounts during the time hewas employedin the publicservice. Whilethese facts and

analysis create an impression, both BrianBonney and Fiera Lo were adamant intheir interviews that information was notshared inappropriately. However, giventhe volume of personal emails involved itis evident government resources were mis-used,” the report states.

The NOW contacted Bonney for an inter-view, but he wasn’t available before pressdeadlines. Bonney announced his resigna-tion from the multiculturalism ministry inJanuary.

A security firm in Burnaby now knowsthe price for having unlicensed softwareon its computers.

Cobra Integrated Systems Ltd. had topay $78,000 to settle claims, delete allunlicensed software on its computers andacquire the necessary licences moving for-ward, according to a Business SoftwareAlliance press release.

The alliance is a software industry advo-cate committed to raising awareness aboutrisks associated with software piracy andit takes action against illegal software use.

“Under-licensing is a significant con-tributor to the overall software piracymarket in Canada and affects all indus-try sectors,” said Jacqueline Famulak,the alliance’s Canadian committee chair.“Software piracy hampers technologycompanies’ ability to innovate and create

much-needed jobs and government rev-enues during these challenging economictimes.”

Under-licensing is a form of copyrightinfringement when software is installed onmultiple computers without proper autho-rization. Under the Canadian CopyrightAct, it can result in fines of up to $20,000for each software title illegally copied.

Cobra Integrated is a national securitysolutions provider and paid the settlementafter being investigated by the alliance forbeing under-licensed.

“The demands of our growing businessand the recent establishment of multiplenew offices across the country led to alapse in our adherence to IT administra-tive policies,” said Bryan Sylvester, direc-tor of Cobra Integrated Systems Ltd.

Burnaby councillorswant genuine apologies

Burnaby councillors Anne Kang, SavDhaliwal and Richard Chang have co-signed a statement calling for only genuineapologies from the province in response tothe recent ethnic vote scandal.

A joint statement from March 10 signedby Vancouver councillors Kerry Jang, TonyPang, and school trustee Allan Wong,along with the three Burnaby councillors,was released in an effort to address thegovernment’s role in ending racism andoffering a genuine apology – not just a“quick win” attempt to secure votes.

“(The ethnic vote scandal) promptedmany of us to have a discussion on whatthe government’s role in this is,” Dhaliwaltold the NOW in a phone interview. “Wewanted to do something, to make a state-ment on behalf of the local areas. I wasvery pleased to be part of that.”

The statement, titled, “Genuine apolo-gies crucial to building trust and hope forthe future,” touches on the history of rac-ism documented in B.C. through legisla-tion and highlights motions made to closethe gap of inequality in the last decade.

“Governments of the day tapped intoracist sentiments and even campaignedon it,” the statement reads, and sourcesheadlines from a 1935 Vancouver Sun arti-cle. “Newspaper reports reveal commentssuch as, ‘A vote for any C.C.F. candidate isa vote to give the Chinaman and Japanesethe same voting right you have! A vote fora Liberal candidate is a vote against orien-tal enfranchisement!’”

Dhaliwal said he signed the statementto ensure history does not repeat itself.

“The government has a duty to makesure the mistakes of the past are notrepeated,” he said. “What we want to hearfrom the government is that it will nothappen again, whether they win or lose.”

He added he was concerned when heheard the Liberals were allegedly usingapologies as a way of getting ethnic votes.

“It was appalling to use it as a tool towin votes,” he said. “Do it sincerely.”

The statement highlights three genuineapologies or motions made at all threelevels of government, such as when theB.C. legislature passed a motion calling onthe federal government to consult with theChinese Canadian community to redressthose impacted by the Chinese Head Taxin 1992; and in 2006, the federal govern-ment made a formal apology for the headtax; and in 2010 when the City of NewWestminster “issued a formal apology to

Chinese Canadians for the discriminatorypractices of its government and electedofficials in the past.”

“In light of these sincere attempts byall three orders of government, last week’srevelation from leaked documents that thepresent B.C. Liberal government’s plan toissue an apology to the Chinese-Canadiancommunity for historical wrongs waspolitically motivated simply to win votesis repugnant and detestable,” the state-ment reads.

Kang said it’s now time to move onfrom apologizing for things in the past.

“The government needs to look aheadand make the best, progressive choices,”she said. “We have had enough apolo-gies.”

She said apologies should derive froma process of consultation with the affectedgroups and the Liberals did not approachthe apology appropriately.

“They should not just dig up the past,”she added. “We all know what happened.We have textbooks telling us that.”

Kang said there are many different cul-tural and religious groups also wronged inthe past that could feel left out.

“The governments in the past didn’thave that wisdom to be accepting,” shesaid. “People make the choice to cometo Canada still. We’re all past that rightnow.”

The Head Tax Families Society ofCanada and the Chinese CanadianNational Council said it appreciated thejoint statement.

But the two organizations are still call-ing on the province to apologize for mis-takes made in the past.

“B.C. politicians, including former B.C.premiers, were the most rabid anti-Chineselegislators in Canada,” said Sid Chow Tan,president of the Head Tax Families Societyof Canada. “It is only right and just thatthe B.C. legislature offer a genuine apol-ogy to the families who were affected.”

The national council wants a sincereapology and a “meaningful amount” ofhead tax money given back to head taxfamilies, according to a press release.

“B.C. must not be seen to be profitingfrom racism – it damages our image athome and overseas,” said Victor Wong,executive director of the Chinese CanadianNational Council.

A leaked email dated Jan. 10 outlinedthe B.C. Liberals’ plan to target the ethnicvote.

The NDP received the plan and pre-sented it in the legislature on Feb. 28.

Help for post-partum depression

Hollie Hall says she’s always been aworrier, but she wasn’t prepared for thekind of anxiety she suffered with the birthof her two children.

It all started at age 31, when Hallfound herself 16 weeks pregnant.

“Pregnancy anxiety started rightaway,” she says.

She feared she would have a miscar-riage, that second-hand smoke wouldharm her baby and that the fire alarm inher apartment building hallway was mak-ing her unborn child deaf. Hall told noone about the anxious thoughts.

“I wanted to make it like I was OK,”she says. “There was this expectation:Why am I not happy? Why am I not morerelaxed?”

She didn’t seek help, nor did she tellher husband what she was going through.She saw a doctor over worries that herbaby would suddenly drop from herwomb while she was walking, but thedoctor found nothing wrong, and sentHall on her way.

In August, 1998, Hall’s first daughter,Violet, was born, and things got worse.

Hall started having telltale “intrusivethoughts,” scary and disturbing ideasinvolving harm to the baby, so rattling,she said, she’d rather not repeat them onrecord.

Then came bouts of crying, sleepdeprivation and caring for the baby with-out breaks.

It wasn’t till Violet wasfour months old that Hallattended her first mom-and-baby talk in Vancouver, atalk where the Burnaby-based Pacific Post PartumSupport Society was deliver-ing a presentation on emo-tions.

“I would never have clas-sified myself as having post-partum depression,” Hallsays.

To her, that was thestereotypical depressed, weepy mom insweatpants who can’t bring herself toleave the house. But Hall left the talk witha pamphlet in hand that mentioned thoseunspeakable thoughts she was having.

“I saw that and went, ‘Holy cow!’” sherecalls.

There was relief but then dread at hav-ing to call for help. Hall still felt shame,trepidation, fear – fear she would bedeclared mentally ill and have her daugh-ter taken away if she shared what she wasthinking.

But out of sheer desperation, she calledanyway, and the woman who answeredthe phone told her it sounded like post-partum depression and that there washelp available.

“I felt like there was a huge rock takenoff my shoulders. It was such a relief.”

Hall started attending the society’ssupport group and found shewasn’t the only one with thosefrightening, disturbing thoughtsabout harm coming to the baby.

The group helped breakthe isolation Hall felt, and shelearned how to better take careof herself. Her relationshipwith her husband improved,although she still didn’t tell himexactly what she was experienc-ing. The ugly thoughts wereless frequent, and she gainedmore confidence as a mother.

But this was no quick fix; the processtook months.

Then two-and-a-half years later, Hallfound herself pregnant again.

“I knew there was a risk (of post-par-tum depression), but I wasn’t too con-cerned,” she says.

She had been through the supportgroup, she was less anxious this timearound, and things seemed fine.

But shortly after her second daughter,Lily, was born in 2001, two planes hit theWorld Trade Center towers in New York,

and Hall felt that old fear creeping back.“I was scared. I thought the world was

going to end,” she says.When Lily was four months old, Hall

read an article about a mom who haddrowned her kids, and the intrusivethoughts came back.

Hall picked up the phone and calledthe Pacific Post Partum Support Society.She joined a support group, went on med-ication for depression and anxiety, andgot more sleep. She was also referred to apsychiatrist with the reproductive mentalhealth clinic at B.C. Women’s Hospital.

“I seemed to bounce back quicker thesecond time around. I knew what to do. Ihad been through it before,” she says.

Four years later, Hall got a notice fromthe society. They were looking for vol-unteers to train for facilitating supportgroups and answering the counsellingline.

Hall signed up, did the training andwas hired.

That was six years ago, and she’s beenthere ever since, answering the phonesand facilitating a group in Vancouver.She goes to mom-and-baby talks, like theone she first attended years ago, to givepresentations.

Besides phone counselling and groupsupport, the society also offers coaching

Support services forpost-partum depression

over the phone to help womendevelop cognitive behaviour therapyskills so they can better manage theirpost-partum depression.

At the society’s headquarters inBurnaby, Hall chats with two otherstaff members about their experienc-es. Program manager Sheila Duffysays pregnancy is an enormous tran-sition, which can often be stressful.

There is a myriad of factorsthat can contribute to post-partumdepression: lack of support, isola-tion, sleep deprivation, hormonal or

chemical imbalances, a recent death,high expectations or perfectionism orproblems with self esteem, relation-ships and identity. The cocktail isdifferent for each woman.

According to the society, an esti-mated one out of six women sufferspost-partum depression.

Of the society’s 10 staff members,all have been through depression,anxiety or difficulties connected tothe birth of their children.

For Hall, working at the societyand giving back to other women is acrucial part of her recovery. She stillgets anxious at times, but because of

the skills she’s learned, especially theself-care, she’s able to cope and helpother moms. Hall advises womenwho may be experiencing post-par-tum depression and anxiety to callthe society for help.

“I know how scary it can be.Especially with the intrusivethoughts,” she says. “Don’t be afraidto pick up the phone. There’s helpout there.”

Post-partum: Society helps moms copecontinued from page 11

Howie English says heisn’t the type to cry – ever– but when he talks aboutwhy he’s walking fromMaple Ridge to Burnabythis weekend, he gets emo-tional.

“I’m a really tough guy.I never cry, but I get chokedup if I talk about this,” hesays. “It’s pretty tough.”

What’s tough is talk-ing about his five-year-olddaughter, who was bornwith Down syndrome andhas never been invited toa birthday party, and howshe’s sometimes left to playalone at school.

“I went to see her, and itbroke my heart, and I start-ed crying,” he says. “Peopledon’t really understand. …She’s so amazing.”

English, who man-ages Kaplan’s Deli inVancouver, is planning towalk for roughly six hourson Saturday, March 23,from his hometown of PittMeadows to Burnaby toraise money and awarenessabout Down syndrome – allin the name of his youngestdaughter, Rebecca.

English is aiming toraise $10,000 for Burnaby’sDown Syndrome ResearchFoundation, which runsprograms for children andadults with Down syn-

drome.English is no stranger

to fundraising walks.Following the Canucksriot, he trekked from PittMeadows to Horsehoe Bayto raise money for van-dalized businesses. Lastyear, he walked from PittMeadows to Maple Ridgeand then Horseshoe Bayand back, raising moneyfor the Down SyndromeResearch Foundation.When English first startedtraining for his fundrais-ing walks, he was so brokehe couldn’t even afford agym membership, so hewalked around a track inCoquitlam every day – rainor shine.

When he reaches the fin-ishline,theDownSyndromeResearch Foundation willbe hosting a celebrationand barbecue at 12:30 p.m.The foundation is at 1409Sperling Ave., and the pub-lic is invited to attend.

English would like toraise people’s awarenessabout Down syndrome.

“I think people becomedesensitized,” he says. “Iguess people are just afraid.They don’t understandpeople are just different. …Don’t be afraid, treat themexactly as someone else,with heart and caring.”

Five reasons why you need a family doctor

Anumber of yearsago, I realized thattimes had changed

and I was part of anendangered species.

After boarding an air-plane and learning that Iwas a physician, the pas-senger next to me asked,“Are you a family doctor… or just a specialist?”

She was of course look-ing for a family physicianand, having complex med-ical problems, was havinggreat difficulty in findingone.

There are now an

estimated 176,000 BritishColumbians who areunable to find a regularfamily physician. Theymust rely on visits towalk-in clinics, where theymay be seen by a varietyof different physicians.

Last month, theMinistry of Health and theB.C. Medical Associationannounced new programswith the ultimate goal ofproviding a family phys-ician for every BritishColumbian who has beensearching for one by 2015.

Why has primary carebecome a priority?Here are the top five rea-sons why you need a fam-ily doctor:

1. Having a regularfamily doctor improveshealth outcomes.This has been shown inthe international researchof Dr. Barbara Starfield

and the Canadian studiesby Marcus Hollander, thatdemonstrated improvedpatient outcomes, reducedmortality, decreased hos-pitalizations and reducedhealth-care costs.

2. Your family doctortakes the long view – yourlifetime – your history,your family history andyour potential future.Primary care is longitud-inal care over time with afamily physician you trustand who knows you well.

3. Your family doctorprovides holistic care,treating you (not just dis-ease) in the context of yourfamily, work and otherimportant aspects of yourlife. You are more thanyour joints, your gastro-intestinal system and your

hormones.Good primary care

attends to your body,mind, relationships andspirit.

4. Your family doc-tor treats all your healthconditions – acute andchronic, including youremotional and relationshipconcerns.

5. The family doctorwho knows you well maybe the best physician tohelp you make personalhealth choices, sortingthrough informationyou’ve read on the inter-net, advice from friendsand the opinions of otherphysicians.If you don’t have a familydoctor yet, consider thesetips when seeing otherdoctors for episodic care.

First, know your per-sonal medical history (pastillnesses, chronic condi-tions, family history, oper-ations and allergies.)

Second, keep a list ofall your medications (pre-scription and non-prescrip-tion, including dosages.)

Third, for any treat-ment, investigation or pre-scription, ask three things:What is it for? What arethe risks or side effects?You should know the com-mon side effects as well asthe more rare but seriousones. And what are thealternatives?

Fourth, keep a record ofall test results. Without afamily doctor, you have totake responsibility for yourhealth records.

Fifth, ask this question:

“Given my age and familyhistory, what tests shouldI be doing?” (e.g. mam-mograms, pap smears, dia-betes screening, prostateexams).

On March 14, GlobalB.C. will be launchingBC1, the province’s first24-hour news channel.Jill Krop will host hernew talk show AM B.C.weekdays at 9 a.m. I’mfortunate to be involved toenhance public health edu-cation. You can find a clipof my first interview withJill on my website at bit.ly/ZAd1wY.

Burnaby couple lives bytheir music for 33 years

Mozart’s opera TheMagic Flute, willbe transformed

into a First Nations sagaby the Vancouver OperaCompany, and two long-time Burnaby musicianswill be lending their tal-ents to the music.

Jim and Holly Littlefordplay the trumpet and theFrench horn, respectively,and have been living bytheir music for most oftheir lives.

High school band teach-ers take heart – Jim got hisfirst start and inspirationin music playing trumpetin his Grade 8 band, andHolly started the Frenchhorn in her high schoolband, too.

They went on to classic-al training in their choseninstruments, met at musicschool at the University ofBritish Columbia and havebeen married for 33 years.

So how do you make aliving in music?

For the Littlefordsit means teaching, pri-vately and otherwise,as well as performingwith the orchestra forthe Vancouver OperaCompany, for ballettroupes and travelingmusicals like Phantomof the Opera and LesMisérables.

Holly managesthe Vancouver YouthSymphony, which includesfour orchestras and 294young musicians.

Jim has the LittleMountain Brass Band, acommunity group whichplays British style brass,and travels to local schoolswith the Touch of BrassQuintet.

They have raised

three sons, who all wentto Suncrest School andBurnaby South.

One went to thePrairies, getting this musicdegree there, his master’sdegree in Boston, andnow plays and teaches inBrandon, Man.

“The other two aremusical, but mostly on theguitar,” Jim said.

“There’s not that muchfor the trumpet in themusic for Mozart’s MagicFlute, but Holly and herFrench horn have more todo,” he said, explainingthe French horn is reallyan English instrument,while the English horn is aFrench one.

To add to the confusion,he continued, the Englishhorn or Cor Anglais is amisnomer, because it wasmeant to be the “angledhorn”, and is really awoodwind.

And what does a life asa musician mean?

“Practice” said theLittlefords, “because justlike in athletics, the stan-dards for achievementkeeps getting higher, withthe best just getting young-er and younger. You haveto keep developing yourstrength and technique.”

For beginning musi-cians, passion is importantand must be maintained.

For their latest work inThe Magic Flute, Jim andHolly rehearsed at firstwith just the orchestra,then with the chorus, andthen there was the seatedrehearsal – the Sitzprobo– when the singers came inand worked with them.

Then came the tech anddress rehearsals.

“From what we’veseen and heard, it’s goingto be a visually excitingperformance, with every-thing translated into FirstNations costuming andsets,” Jim said in an inter-view with the NOW beforethe production began.

“In what we do, wetravel all over the Lower

Mainland and beyond, andthat’s another reason whywe were so happy to be inBurnaby. We are central toeverything, with SkyTrainand our location, com-muting is easy. It’s beena good move for our fam-ily,” he concluded.

The Vancouver OperaCompany’s First Nation-inspired version of TheMagic Flute runs untilSunday, March 17 at theQueen Elizabeth Theatre inVancouver.

There is a 7:30 p.m.show on Saturday, anda 1:30 p.m. matinee onSunday.

Buzzing about spring

Question:If mason bees come out so

early, what do they feed on?There is not too much out inmy garden in February and Idon’t see how I could supportthe bees.

James Rowley, by email

Answer:Mason bees and flowers

are temperature sensitive.This means flowers aretriggered to open whenthe temperature is right forthem to open. At this time,the temperature is also atthe right level to promptmason bees to hatch.

In mid-February incoastal B.C. and the FraserValley, witch-hazel is infull bloom, also hardycyclamen, winter jasmine,winter heather and snow-drops. Other spring flowersquickly follow.

But even if you don’thave any of these in yourgarden, mason bees traveland there are likely to beearly flowers in neigh-bours’ gardens.

Question:Two-thirds of my front

lawn and part of the boule-vard has been hit with thechafer beetle. Spring is comingand I want to reseed, but Idon’t know what to do withthe unaffected part.

Should I dig up the rest ofmy lawn or just re-seed theinfected lawn? The raccoonsdigging up my lawn seemedto stop going any farther.

Bill Stott, by email

Answer:Some people decide to

give up their grass lawnand either put in a patioor reseed with a new lawnof chafer-resistant plants.These include Dutch whiteclover, Brass Buttons or, forsunny, well-drained areas,Wooly Thyme.

If you want to continuewith a grass lawn, it is bestto dig up and reseed thewhole lawn because thepart which appears to beunaffected is bound to havesome chafer larvae in it– just not as many.

But no matter what youdo, it’s very likely to getre-infested again after thechafer beetles mate in lateJune and begin laying eggsin early July.

Because these beetlescan fly, infestations canmove in from other infest-ed lawns or boulevards.

Between mid-July andthe month end, the newlyhatched larvae will be inyour lawn but close to thesurface. This is the timeto apply the predatorynematode Heterohabdilisbacteriophora. It has tobe done before the larvaemove deeper into the soil.

You can order thisnematode from gardencentres. They are tiny livingcreatures and need to bewatered within a short timeof being brought home.There are instructions witheach nematode kit. It isvery important the nema-tode mixture contacts bareearth – this enables them tomove quickly down to thechafer larvae.

Question:I would like to know if

there is an evergreen ivy. Iwanted it in a pot on my deckto offer privacy.

Helga, by emailAnswer:

All ivies are evergreen.Ivy will provide you withquick, dense cover, butthe plain green kinds andones with large leaves getout of control very fastand need frequent cuttingback. Small-leaved ivies aremuch easier to maintain,but they do grow slowly.

Ivy has a reputation as aseriously invasive plant.

Cats have been domesticated companionsfor man for hundreds of years. The earliestevidence of cat companionship has beentraced back to Egypt and Asian cultures. Itis not known if cat overpopulation was aproblem in ancient cultures, but it is a realproblem in today’s day and age. In BritishColumbia alone, upwards of 32,000 homelessanimals are taken in by the BCSPCA eachyear, most of these being cats. Rescues andcharities like VOKRA (Vancouver OrphanKitten Rescue Association) help with caringand homing for hundreds of additional catsin Burnaby and Vancouver.

Cat overpopulation is not an easy problem todeal with due to the fact that cats reproducerapidly. In just seven years time, oneunspayed cat and her off-springs can possiblyproduce up to 450,000 cats (average litter ofsix kittens, twice a year). This is a staggeringnumber!!

Due to the sheer number of feral catsinvolved, bucket-loads of finances and timeneeds to be invested in order to tackle catoverpopulation. While the BCSPCA, catrescue associations, individual volunteersand veterinary teams pitch in to tackle thisissue in many different ways; more needs tobe done.

There is a good chance that feral or wild catsare in every neighbourhood, even though wedo not see freely roaming cats like in other

countries. This may be in part due to theuntiring efforts of local feline welfare groups,but also due to the fact that feral cats are moreactive during the quieter night hours.

The Canadian Veterinary MedicalAssociation (CVMA) recognizes that alongwith providing spay/neuter services for catadoptions and the under-privileged , one keyelement in helping reduce overpopulationis the TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) programwhere feral cats are trapped, neuteredand returned to their environment. Thisis different from the previously used trapand remove (read euthanize) method ofpopulation control. Tame and social cats orkittens can also be safely homed through thismethod. VOKRA is one of the long-standingand well-respected cat rescues providingsuch non-profit charity work.

So what can we do to help with catoverpopulation? Options include makinga pledge to get our pets neutered, donatingtime as a volunteer for a cat rescue programor sponsoring a cat sterilization throughdonation. You may also foster a cat for arescue organization until it is ready to beadopted. Also, consider adopting a cat orkitten that is waiting for a home at the SPCAor at VOKRA, so that another one from thewild can be rescued.

BOGART ID 289175 7 Year, 1 Month, 2 Week Old Neutered Male, Domestic Short Hair, cross“Bogart” was found homeless and no one came to claim him. He became available for adoption onthe date of Humphrey Bogart’s birthday, hence the name. He is a little shy and takes a while to getused to new situations. If you are patient, gentle and live in a quiet home, Bogart will certainly comeout of his shell for you! He LOVES a petting session and to butt heads with his humans. Bogart isfriendly, affectionate and laid back. He hasn’t been around other cats while in our care so it wouldbe best that he go in to an adult home with no other pets. He’d be a great companion cat!

TYE ID 289856 1 Year, 1 Month, 1 Week Old Neutered Male, German Shepherd, cross Rottweiler“Tye” is a fun and loving dog! He’s an excitable, anxious, submissive boy who will require anactive family. His owner(s) should be willing to teach him basic obedience, calming exercisesand positive reinforcement. Gradual departure exercises are recommended when it’s time toleave him alone. He is goofy and very affectionate and loves to lean into you for a cuddle. Itwill be impossible not to fall in love with him. Tye is so deserving of a fantastic family who willcontinue his basic obedience and make him a part of the family.

BUDDY ID 286427 8 Year, 3 Month Old, Neutered Male, Rottweiler, cross“Buddy” is a handsome, gentle dog but can be nervous when meeting new people, slow introductions are mandatory.He needs an experienced, adult owner(s) who enjoys the company of a calm dog. Buddy can be affectionate and iseager to please. Buddy knows his basic commands and enjoys going for long walks. He didn’t deserve to be abandonedso late in life. Buddy is in good health and recently had surgery for a torn ACL. You would never guess he was 8 yearsold. Buddy is so deserving and would love to come home...Please contact the Burnaby Shelter for more information.

COSMO ID 286539 2 Year, 3 Month Old, Neutered Male, Domestic Short Hair, cross“Cosmo” who is currently in a foster home is a very friendly tuxedo cat. He loves getting his earsscratched and a face/chin rubbed. He’ll purr happily during this time. Cosmo will follow you aroundthe house in order to be with you as much as possible. He’s not very interested in going outside, helikes being indoors sitting on a tall scratching post to have a nice view out the window. He wouldprefer a quiet home, and possibly wouldn’t mind sharing his living space with another cat or dog.

WEBSTER ID 292130 6 Year, 5 Month Old, Male, Poodle Miniature, crossWebster is a lovely handsome boy. He is a high energy dog who will require a calm patient owner.Webster will need to be rewarded for calm behavior. He would love to do some basic obedienceand would benefit from plenty of mental stimulation. Webster seems to really like other dogs butcan be very excitable when greeting new pooches. He also is pending a neuter which will be doneprior to adoption. Webster really just wants to give affection and be with his people. A owner whois retired or works from home would be ideal and no small children. If you think Webster is the dogfor you please come on down and meet this special guy!!!

Dear Tom and Ray:I have a 2003 Mitsubishi

Lancer with about 90,000miles. Several months back, Iwas driving home on a rainy

night and splashed through adeep puddle.

Immediately, a loud whin-ing noise came from the car,which grew louder when Ipushed on the gas. A minutelater, it stopped.

Then about a week later,on another rainy day, it hap-pened again.

It happens for only abouta minute, then stops. It nowhappens even when it’s notraining, when I just step onthe gas for more power.

The whining is very loud

and scary, and it makes methink the car is going toexplode.

My husband thinks it’snothing and that I shouldcontinue to ignore it; how-ever, I am pregnant and don’twant to head into motherhoodworrying about my safetyand the safety of my baby.

Please help!– Moon

RAY: It sounds to me likea slipping belt, Moon.I’m guessing your splashguard fell off, and that

allowed water to splash upand temporarily lubricateyour belt.

Belts aren’t supposed tobe lubricated; they’re sup-posed to be sticky.

When a belt slips andslides on its pulleys, itmakes that shrieking/whining noise.TOM: And all that slip-ping wore out your belteven more, so now it slipseven when it’s not wet.RAY: It makes noise whenyou step on the gas, which

is a classic symptom of aloose or worn-out belt.

Eventually, the belt willget so bad that it’ll squealall the time. Then one dayit’ll break and fall off, andyou’ll lose your powersteering and alternator,among other things …TOM: But the noise willbe gone!RAY: True. But my advicewould be, before that hap-pens, to take it into a shopand tell them you havewhat you think is a belt

noise, and ask them tocheck it out.

You want to get thisfixed, Moon. Trust me onthis – there will be morethan enough squealing andwhining in your future.

You need to enjoy andsavor all the peace andquiet you can get in thenext few months!

Slow down, kids playing during spring breakAs spring break approaches, the British

Columbia Automobile Association isreminding drivers to pay close attention totheir surroundings when driving throughareas where kids are likely to be present.

To help parents and other B.C. residentsprepare for the increasing presence of kidsoutdoors, the association is offering free“Slow Down, Kids Playing” signs that canbe displayed on residential properties inorder to help make roads safer for childrenacross the province, according to a press

release from the association.“As the weather warms up, more and

more children venture outside to playin their front yards, on their streets andin neighbourhood playgrounds,” MarkDonnelly, director of the association’scommunication and community depart-ment, said in a press release. “The ‘SlowDown, Kids Playing’ signs are a way ofreminding drivers to pay close attentionwhen driving through residential areasand near playgrounds and to expect the

unexpected.”According to the B.C. Coroners’ Service,

more than 2,400 child pedestrians are seri-ously injured and approximately 30 arekilled each year in Canada.

Kids between five and 14 are at thegreatest risk for pedestrian-related injuriesand fatalities, according to the association.

The association has identified two keyareas of risk for child pedestrians: driverbehavior – such as speeding, making U-turns, stopping in no-stopping zones and

rolling through or backing up into cross-walks – and pedestrian distraction, whichincludes the use of cell phones and otherpersonal electronic devices.

A study conducted by the University ofAlabama at Birmingham reports that chil-dren who talk on cell phones while cross-ing the street are up to one-third morelikely to be hit or nearly hit by a car.

of Canada also indicatesthat up to 10 per cent ofinjuries to pedestriansunder the age of 24 were theresult of them running intothe street without lookingbecause they were runningafter a ball, for example.

The association recom-mends that drivers, alongwithparentsandguardians,take the following precau-tions to ensure the safetyof our kids during springbreak and as we move intowarmer weather.

Tips for drivers:◆ Slow down and watchout for kids in or near schooland residential areas, inter-sections and crosswalks,and be prepared to stop.

Look for clues such as“Slow Down, Kids Playing”signs, school zone signs,school safety patrollers,bicycles and playgrounds.◆ Expect the unexpected,such as kids darting outfrom between parked cars.

Always check for pedes-trians when you’re backingup, and be aware that kidscould be present on any

side of the vehicle.◆ Follow the rules of theroad. Yield to pedestriansand do not make U-turns,roll through stop signs orstop in no-stopping zones.

Tips for parents/guard-ians:◆ Teach your kids to finda safe place to cross theroad, such as patrolled ormarked crosswalks.

Make sure they lookboth ways and make eyecontact with drivers beforethey cross the street.◆ Make it a rule for kidsto stay off their cell phonesor electronic devices whilecrossing the street. Makesure they focus on the roadand surrounding environ-ment.◆ Teach your kids to look

out for parked cars, as carsmay pull out or start mov-ing when they don’t expectit.◆ Make sure your kidswear bright or reflectiveclothing so they can beseen in the dark or in poorweather.

If they ride a bike, makesure they always wear ahelmet and clothing with

reflective strips. Equip theirbike with lights, reflectorsand a bell.

The “Slow Down, KidsPlaying” signs are free ofcharge for B.C. residents.The signs are available atany of the association’s ser-vice locations throughoutthe province. Go to bcaa.com/kidsplaying for a listof locations.

The Canadians have been aconstant burr under the saddle ofthe Giants in the past five seasonsof playoffs. All of the best-of-threeseries between the two clubs, foursemifinals and one playoff cham-pionship, have gone the distance.

Fortunately,the Burnaby-based Giantshave won allfive of the series,which date backto the 2008/09season, includ-ing last year’splayoff semifinalthat was settled

by a 3-2 score in extra time.In fact, of the 15 playoff games

against Greater Vancouver, 11 ofthem have been settled by a singlegoal, with five of those gamesgoing the Canadians’ way.

That’s where the Giants’ out-standing goalie tandem of LiamSmith of Burnaby and rookie BoDidur comes into play.

Against a playoff pest likeGreaterVancouver, clearlydefenceis going to be a huge factor.

Smith and Didur posted thetop two goals-against-averages inleague play this season. Didur ledthe league with a 1.84 average,while Smith, who was injured formuch of the season, posted 10wins and a 2.08 mark.

Didur, just 15 years old, hasbeen a particularly pleasant sur-prise, standing in for the injuredSmith and fashioning a near-perfect rookie-of-the-year 23-0-3season for the league championGiants.

“It’s a pretty big accomplish-ment. We gambled on a ‘97 (bornplayer) and he’s paid off,” said

Giants head coach Clint Thornton.“It’s a big step up for a first-yeargoalie.”

As one of just three 15-year-olds on the Giants’ squad, Didurhad a steep learning curve aheadof him.

An early road trip to PrinceGeorge ended in a 6-5 win againstthe Cougars and the understand-ing that his teammates were thereto support him.

“I have a great team in front ofme. Sometimes I have an off game,

but happily they have been thereto back me up when I do,” saidDidur, who always shared thegoaltending duties at the NorthShore Winter Club through his

The Burnaby SouthRebels staved off a fourth-quarter rally by the SardisFalcons to move on in thechampionship round atthe B.C. high school AAAboys’ basketball champion-ships in Langley.

Led by the hot hand offirst-year senior MartinBogajev, South held onto defeat the honourablemention Chilliwack schoolteam 73-69 in the openinggame at the Langley EventsCentre on Wednesday.

Bogajev led South’sbalanced scoring with 17points, including threethree-pointers and four-for-four free throws in thefinal two minutes of playthat kept the Rebels in con-trol of the scoreboard inthe dying moments of thegame.

South post DejanPosavljak had 14 pointson seven-of-nine shoot-ing, while senior guardGino Pagbilao nailed fourlong-range bombs in a 15-point contribution thatalso included seven assists.Nick Garcha also shot indouble figures, netting 13points and nine reboundsfor the Lower Mainlandrunners-up.

Junior varsity standoutJermaine Hayley was a per-fect three-for-three fromthe floor for South, whilealso chipping in with eightboards in his first playoffgame with the senior team.

South led 56-45 head-ing into the final quarter,but Sardis went on a 12-5run to close the deficit, butcould not get any closerthan three points on a cou-ple of occasions late in thegame.

Mike Gregory led theFalcons with 18 points,while Hayden Lejeunepopped in 17 points andadded 14 boards for theFraser Valley school.

minor hockey career.“It was a huge step,” Didur said,

regarding being the sole No. 1 betweenthe pipes. “But I wanted to be a goalie forthis team. … I just tried to take it week-end by weekend.”

Perhaps the most memorable week-end to date for the Rockridge Secondaryschool student came in the gold-medalfinal at the Mac’s AAA midget tour-nament in Calgary over last-year’sChristmas break.

There, Brandon Del Grosso sent thegame into overtime against the CarolinaJunior Hurricanes with a goal just 12 sec-onds full time.

In OT, Didur did the rest, shuttingout the U.S. club for almost 15 minutesbefore teammate Jackson Cressy slottedthe tournament-winner.

“It was one of those games, (my team-mates) had my back, and we learned howto win,” Didur said.

For Thornton, Didur’s performanceweek-in and week-out is a microcosm ofwhat the Giants are all about.

“That’s just our team. They can’t quit,”Thornton said. “They know if they keep

pushing and pushing, things will go theirway.”

And for the most part things havegone the Giants’ way this season. Theclub won an unprecedented sixth con-secutive regular season title, with a sec-ond-best-ever 34-2-4 record.

And Didur has been one of the mostavid exponents of that never-give-upadage.

“His competitive level is through theroof. He never stops,” said Thornton.“I asked him to take time off at practiceand he said, ‘Nope, nope. I’m going to bethere.’ He refuses to give in. It’s a goodattitude to have.”

Didur isn’t really sure where his innerdrive came from.

“I don’t know,” he said. “I love to playhockey. It’s my dream to play hockey.When I get out on the ice, I don’t like tolose.”

The Giants open its semifinal playoffseries against Greater Vancouver today(Friday) at the Burnaby Winter Club at7:30 p.m. Game 2 is at 7:45 p.m. at thewinter club.

If necessary, a third game will beplayed Sunday at 9:30 a.m.

The top-10 ranked Lions were beat-en 67-47 by honourable mention PittMeadows Marauders Wednesday after-noon in Langley, following a first-roundupset loss to Caledonia on Tuesday.

Against Pitt, Mountain shot a dismal20 per cent from the floor and collectivelymade just one-of-16 three-point attempts.Mountain led at halftime 28-27 followingan 18-9 second quarter.

The Marauders made good on more

than 45 per cent of their buckets and beatup the Lions under the glass, blockingeight Mountain shots and outscoring theBurnaby team 22-6 in the paint.

Jaryn Bailey had 14 points and AtdheHajrizi scored 10 for Mountain.

The loss dropped the BurWest cham-pions to the bottom bracket, where theLions beat up on the North Peace Oscars83-31 in an early Thursday morning match-up. Atdhe Hajrizi scored 30 and added 10rebounds for Mountain.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Delays and hold-backs end. A mellow, thoughtful, gentle, loving andobserving month trails off now, as ambition (or thedemands of authorities, bosses, parents) overtakesyou until late April. The switch into an ambitiousphase occurs Wednesday.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Delays end Sunday,especially in domestic, security, realty and retirementzones. But these concerns will be a minor whisper,because midweek begins a brash, exciting month ofromance, pleasure and creativity.
