burnaby now november 11 2011

In this age of Twitter andFacebook, there are politicians outthere who are using social media asan integral part of their communica-tions strategies.

They’re just not running for officein Burnaby.

Ask Peter Chow-White, professorof communications at Simon FraserUniversity, for his assessment ofsocial media use in this Burnaby elec-tion campaign, and his first responseis this: “Quiet.”

Not to say that local politicians arebehind the times – but, well, maybethey are.

“I feel like I’m looking at 2000,2002 right now,” Chow-White says.“It feels like Burnaby hasn’t quitecaught up.”

On a broader scale, social mediause has increased enormously sincethe last municipal election, in 2008.

“What’s new about Twitter thisyear is it’s become the social mediacommunication avenue of choice,”Chow-White notes.

But that trend tends to hold moretrue at higher levels of governmentthan at the civic level.

To a large extent, Chow-Whitenotes, how extensively politicians areusing social media depends upontheir constituency and the most effec-tive way to reach that constituency.

“In Burnaby, the Burnaby NOWbecomes an important place to beseen,” he notes.

Which isn’t to say that Burnabycandidates are completely invisibleon social media.

Some local candidates are onTwitter.Chow-WhitementionsCarrieMcLaren of the Greens and HarmanPandher of the BCA as two of the

more active and visible presences,and I’ll add to that list Jim Favaroand Jeff Kuah of TEAM Burnaby.

But, with the exception ofMcLaren, who has an establishedpresence on Twitter, the others arenew arrivals and still facing very lowfollower counts.

The same is true for the partiesin Burnaby. TEAM Burnaby, theBurnaby Citizens Association andthe Burnaby Greens all have Twitterfeeds – but, with 40, 25 and 153 fol-lowers respectively, the impact oftheir tweets is relatively limited.

What most of them are still miss-ing out on is the chance to use Twitter

as not just a way of disseminatingtheir own publicity but a way ofinteracting with voters.

Chow-White points out that oneof the selling points of social mediais that it offers an opportunity forvoters to interact with the candidatesand parties in the same forum thatthey’re disseminating their message.

My Twitter monitoring over thepast couple of weeks convinces methat Burnaby candidates aren’t tak-ing advantage of that fact. The oneexception I’ll make is for the BurnabyGreens, who actually are engagingin discussion on their feed – and forcandidate Carrie McLaren likewise.

“The Greens themselves are alittle more forward thinking,” Chow-White agrees.

But the lack of interaction onTwitter between voters and candi-dates indicates that there’s a demo-graphic that’s missing in this elec-tion.

“It says a lot of young voters aren’tengaged for some reason,” Chow-White says, noting that means votersin their teens, 20s and even 30s. “Thiscan be a sign of leaving people out.”

CARRIE McLAREN, BurnabyMunicipal Greens candidate for councilTwitter: @cwalkker

ProsCarrie McLaren is one of the

most established social mediapresences in the race, whichgives her a clear edge in usingsocial media effectively. Carriehas built herself a follower baseof 136 on Twitter and has tweet-ed a whopping 2,016 times, which putsher well ahead in the numbers game.

She’s tweeting not just about the elec-tion (although she’s using the #bbelxnhashtag to advantage) but about othergreen-related issues and stories. She’salso a liberal retweeter of other folkswho have interesting things to say.

On Facebook (where she accepted afriend request promptly), she has 242friends, and the page is largely personalin nature. She isn’t using the Facebookpage as actively for her own campaignand appears to have focused most of hercampaigning efforts on Twitter.Cons:

Her Twitter handle, @cwalkker, is notimmediately obvious as Carrie McLaren(although it does come up in searches).

Her Facebook presence could be usedmore effectively for campaigning – per-haps by creating a candidate “page” ifshe doesn’t want to use her personal

Facebook identity to campaign.

HARMAN S. PANDHER,Burnaby Citizens Associationcandidate for school boardTwitter: @Pandher4Burnaby

Pros:Harman S. Pandher is another high-

profile presence on social media. He’san active Facebooker, with 471 friends,and was clearly established here beforethe campaign began. He includes visualsand links to news stories, which keep thepage lively and interesting.

He has a great deal of engagementfrom the community, with friends andsupporters frequently posting on hiswall, which speaks well to his level ofinteraction with others.

On Twitter, Harman is one of thebusiest Tweeters in the campaign.

He posts frequent updates aboutwhat he and the BCA are up to, andhe’s also liberally retweeting the tweetsof other people engaged in the Burnabycommunity. He has figured out theimportance of targeting community

Let’s talk. From thepersonal to political.

Life in Burnaby

When it comes to social media, a sur-prising number of Burnaby candidateshave no individual presence at all.

To a large extent, many appear to berelying on the social media efforts of theirparties/slates to take care of their socialmedia – TEAM Burnaby, the BurnabyCitizens Association and theBurnaby Municipal Greensall have active presences onFacebook and Twitter. (See aseparate analysis of the parties’efforts in our online coverage atwww.burnabynow.com.)

However, if you’re a voterlooking to contact a candidatedirectly on social media, youwon’t have a lot of luck withsome names.

The following make theDidn’t Show Up For Class listby having no obvious Twitteror Facebook presence. (Notethat some may be on Facebook, but withprofiles that aren’t searchable or that don’tmake it immediately obvious who theyare; a couple have Facebook “pages” setup but have done nothing with them, as ofthe writing of this on Nov. 7.)

Mayoral candidates skipped social media classWhen it comes to social media, there’s

no doubt there are some mayors whohave it figured out – you only have to fol-low “@MayorGregor” on Twitter to seehow a municipal mayor can indeed usesocial media to reach out to voters andresidents.

But the example set by GregorRobertson in Vancouver isn’t being fol-lowed here in Burnaby.

“I think you’re seeing an intergen-erational difference,” is how Peter Chow-

White, a social media expert and profes-sor of communications at Simon FraserUniversity, put it.

Whether it’s their age or other factorsat work, our four mayoral candidateshave a decidedly low profile in the socialmedia world – which is to say, they’re allbut absent.

To get a sense of how visible the fourcandidates – incumbent Derek Corriganand challengers Sylvia Gung, AllenHutton and Tom Tao – are, I did searchesvia Google, Facebook and Twitter to trackdown the candidates.

Not surprisingly, Corrigan is an easy

man to find online, given his already highpublic profile and frequent coverage in awide range of media. He’s also the onlyone of the four I could find on Facebook,and, with 651 friends, he’s maintaininga fairly good profile there. However, thevast majority of the posts on his profileare actually other people tagging him – asopposed to him actually posting informa-tion or links. (A caveat: As of the momentof this writing, he hasn’t accepted myfriend request, so there may be otheractivity that I can not see.)

Both Corrigan and Tao, thanks totheir party affiliations, also have a web

presence through their respective partywebsites – www.burnabycitizens.ca forCorrigan and www.teamburnaby.com orTao.

As individuals, however, they do nothave websites, and Tao has only an oldblog from a previous candidacy for coun-cil.

None of the four is on Twitter.Which pretty much means that what-

ever makes the difference in the mayoralrace on election day, it won’t be socialmedia that decides the outcome.

leaders and bringing himself to their atten-tion with retweets and responses to posts,and he’s using the #bbyelxn hashtag tokeep his conversations visible.Cons:

Harman’s Twitter presence is still rela-tively small, with 31 followers, and he isfollowing 78 people. He could make a con-certed effort to boost the number of peoplehe is following.

However, with his current level of inter-action with the community, it seems likelythat his follower count will grow.

Could benefit from saving a Facebookusername so that voters could have adirect link to his page.

◆

JEFF KUAH, Team Burnaby candidate forschool boardTwitter: @JeffKuah

Pros:Jeff maintains an active – and bilingual

– presence on Twitter, @JeffKuah.Like many of the other candidates, Jeff

is fairly new to the Twitter game and hasonly tweeted 29 times, but those tweetsoffered some interesting links to photo andvideo, as well as related news articles.

Jeff is also active on Facebook (althoughhis friends are hidden from me, so I can’tsee how many he has).

His page appears to be quite active,with frequent links to photos, video andthe occasional news story, and there issome interaction with the community.

Jeff has also set up a “page” for his

candidacy, but at the moment it is inactive(and I believe I was its first follower).Cons:

Again, Jeff has a fairly small followercount, with 63 followers on Twitter, but heis following 406 people so is clearly spend-ing time on Twitter building up his profile.

Should be using the #bbyelxn hashtag.Could also benefit from retweeting and

engaging with others in the community,not just his colleagues in TEAM Burnaby.Could benefit from spending more timetweeting news stories and other links,rather than just the “photo-op” moment.

His grades:Visibility: A-Interaction: BOverall effectiveness: B+

The runners-upJIM FAVARO, TEAM Burnaby candidatefor councilTwitter: @JimFavaro

Jim is definitely one of the up-and-com-ers in the social media world, having cre-ated himself a fairly high profile in a fairlyshort time on both Twitter and Facebook.But, for social media to become a trulyeffective tool, he’ll have to increase his fol-lower count.BALJINDER K. NARANG, BurnabyCitizens Association candidate for schoolboard

Baljinder isn’t on Twitter but earns amention for rocking the Facebook worldwith a well-thought-out and well-followedprofile that she’s using very effectively forthe campaign.

Iam the unnamed “well-spo-ken Parents’ Voice candidateon CBC Radio last week”

recently attacked in editor PatTracy’s column. Tracy seems tobelieve in mind-reading ratherthan calling to check facts, andengages in blatantslander and fear-mongering: “Butas she has alreadyshown me that she is not upfront about why she is run-ning under the banner, Parents’Voice, her candidacy is veryunsettling.”

It is discouraging to see thispaper accusing me of decep-tion, discrimination, and lack-ing the virtue of honesty, whiledishonestly and in violation ofstandard journalistic practiceclumsily avoiding mentioningmy name, perhaps to avoid legalaction. The editorial states thatI “very skillfully avoided thegay issue” in the CBC interview.Well, the CBC interviewer didnot ask about “the gay issue.”

Perhaps she is not as obsessedwith that as some are. The edi-tor seems unaware that “the”issue is parental empower-ment: the need for parents tohave a direct political voice toadvance parents’ and children’sinterests. Corporations, unions,professionals’ groups, etc. allhave their interests vigorouslyadvanced and protected. In ourrole as parents, we don’t.

I am painfully aware of themarginalization of parents by

government because I have beenactive in advocacy for parentsand children for 12 years locally,nationally and internationally. Ihave been active in communitybuilding and environmental,human rights and peace issues

for most of my life. YetTracy accuses me of dis-honesty regarding thereasons I stated in that

interview for running for schoolboard trustee.

Ask the moms whose cryingbabies I hold. Or the low-incomemoms threatened with appre-hension of their children. Orthe home-learner kids I taughtto sing in six languages. Orthe lactation consultants whofought baby formula companiesin Burnaby Hospital with mymedia help. Or the Swedishparents now learning fromB.C.’s Dr. Gordon Neufeld aboutthe importance of child-parentattachment. Or the folks whohad a great time at the all-agedances I organized this year. Orask your own reporter about myexposing in-school data-miningdone without parental consent.

These are just a few examplesof my active, informed, unpaidcommitment to advancing par-ents’ and children’s interests.

As NOW editor, Tracy mustknow a bit of my track recordbecause the paper has reportedsome of it. If the NOW believesin political engagement andcommunity building, kindly

Watch out for beer bribes on election dayIt’s a serious offence to mess around

with the democratic process – especial-ly when it comes to elections.

In fact, breaching the election rulescan carry a fine of up to$10,000 and net the offender acouple of years behind bars,not to mention a prohibi-tion from holding elected office for sixyears, or loss of voting privileges for asimilar period.

Some of the offences outlined in

the Local Government Act are quitestraightforward. For instance, you’renot allowed to buy or pay for votes– and that includes trading votes for

gifts, entertainment, refresh-ments (no beer before ballot!),or job offers.

And it’s just as illegal toaccept an election-related bribe (orindeed, any other kind of bribe) as it isto offer one.

It’s probably also no surprise that

the law strictly forbids threateningpotential “supporters” in any way.

Lesser offences (up to $5,000 in finesand just one year in jail) include adver-tising at inappropriate times, or cam-paigning too close to a ballot box.

With all the provincially decreedrules to ensure the integrity of the elec-toral process for the upcoming civicelection, it is remarkable that there isno restriction on using municipal fund-ing or resources to aid an incumbent in

pursuing re-election, unless rules areset up through municipal bylaws.

We are not offering this informationas a suggestion to those who haven’tthought of using (or abusing!) the sys-tem that way. But voters may want tokeep a weather eye out for such prac-tices – for they could occur.

And if they do occur, it might belegal – but in this case, it’s up to indi-vidual voters, rather than the law, tokeep them honest.

Does the editorread minds?

A history of Community LivingDear Editor:

Community Living B.C. was doomed from thevery beginning. It was never about greater indi-vidual and family control and improved servicedelivery. People have a short memory about how itwas that Community Living B.C. was created.

Doug Walls, premier Gordon Campbell’s relativeby marriage, who was under investigation for fraudat the time, was the hand-picked architect for thecreation of Community Living B.C. Walls wouldlater go on to be convicted of fraud for chequekiting. Minister Gordon Hogg from Children andFamilies stepped down from cabinet and ChrisHaynes, the ministry’s deputy minister, was fired

because Walls had been given untendered ministrycontracts (during a time he was being investigatedby police) for which he did not produce a thing. Themoney simply disappeared.

As a former labour representative, I wasinvolved in the devolution of community livingservices from direct government and transfer ofstaff to Community Living B.C., the new stand-alone authority. There was never any monitoring,transparency or accountability built into the plan,and Community Living B.C. was no longer subjectto the Freedom of Information and Protection ofPrivacy Act since it was no longer part of directgovernment.

in working with children and adults withdevelopmental disabilities (and their fami-lies) were replaced because CommunityLiving B.C. designed a model that no lon-ger provided case management. The workwas designed to be quick, in and out, withno caseloads.

It soon became clear to the B.C. govern-ment that Community Living B.C. hadnot competently carried out CommunityLiving B.C. children’s services.

Therefore, after months of planning,on Oct. 31, 2009, children’s services weretransferred back to the Ministry of Childrenand Family Development and the millionsof funding went with the services.

The ministry, to their credit, returnedto a caseload model for children with dis-abilities, although social workers continueto experience grossly inflated case num-bers for the most vulnerable and fragilechildren in B.C.

The work these social workers and com-munity service providers perform everyday is admirable and inspirational, andsociety owes them thanks for it.

Once children’s services funding wasgone, Community Living B.C. needed tofind millions in “efficiencies” and savings.

Funding for services to adults began tobe slashed, along with community socialservice work and jobs. At this point, over60 group homes have been closed aroundB.C. In some cases, experienced and dedi-cated community social services work-ers have been replaced by people foundthrough advertisements for homes shareson Craigslist.

At this point, it is not enough for areview to be completed of CommunityLiving B.C. A full inquiry and financialaudit will lift up the rock of CommunityLiving B.C., and there will be many thingsthat crawl out once the light of day shinesdown.

Persons with disabilities and their fami-lies deserve nothing less than for justice,dignity and human rights to prevail.

Take time to voteDear Editor:

So now, all politicians are gearing up forelection or re-election. This past term hasgiven us a one-party selection, so now wemust weigh in our minds, did this selection

help or hinder us?Friends and neighbours, I say a one-

sided governing body or city council is notfavourable to any of us.

Don’t be slate crazy. The act of votingis a privilege to all of us, whether we arenative or immigrants to this land. We havebeen granted the right to a free vote, andwe must exercise that right.

Don’t be dictated to prior to castingyour ballot, and remember, most electionpromises are only words.

Remember our fallen comrades on Nov.11 and voting for city council Nov. 19.

I believe in you the people.V. Blancard, Burnaby

Not this parent’s voiceDear Editor:

I am a citizen of Burnaby and have beenfor the past seven years. My five year olddaughter attends a school in this district.When Burnaby school district’s policy5.45 was brought about, I became a proudcitizen of Burnaby. I am pleased that mydaughter attends a school in a communitythat embraces and protects children andtheir teachers of all races, nationalities,abilities, sexual orientations and genderidentities. How do I tell her that there is agroup that wants to allow her friends andleaders to be bullied because they mightbe different from her?

Parents’ Voice’s false platform disgustsme. Had I not been following its opposi-tion to this policy from the beginning, Imight believe that the group’s platformmight actually include “elimination ofexcess spending” or “educational excel-lence”. However, Parents Voice hasalready shown, to anyone who is payingattention, that they are not up front aboutwhy they are running, and this is verydisturbing to me.

The party has a one-plank platformand that is elimination of this policy. Thegroup has missed the whole point of thepolicy to begin with. It doesn’t matterwhether or not you believe homosexual-ity is morally wrong. Bullying is morallywrong. Of any person. For any reason.That is the point. This is not a religiousissue.

In light of the recent death threatsreceived by people opposed to ParentsVoice’s beliefs, I have declined includingmy last name in this correspondence. I’msure you’ll understand.

Affordable housing andpoverty were the focusof Wednesday evening’smayoral and council all-candidates debate at StrideElementary School in SouthBurnaby.

The debate was set upby the Burnaby InteragencyCouncil, which includesBurnaby CommunityConnections and SouthBurnaby NeighbourhoodHouse.

The first question fromthe council asked what can-didates’ plans are to ensurethat affordable and acces-sible housing continues tobe available in Burnaby.

TEAM Burnaby councilcandidate Graham Murchiesaid TEAM’s solution is toform a task force on hous-ing with 30-, 60- and 90-daydeadlines.

The first step is creat-ing a temporary emergencyshelter demonstration, withshipping container housingon city land, he said.

The second is talkingto residents about possiblesolutions, and the third isdeveloping a new officialcommunity lan for Burnaby,Murchie added.

Murchie also suggestedlooking at Burnaby’s bylawon secondary rental suites,as only in-law suites areallowed in Burnaby at thistime.

“That can solve a lot ofaffordable housing prob-lems,” he said.

Burnaby MunicipalGreen council candidateRick McGowan said theGreen’s plan is to take 20per cent of the city’s densitybonus money to establishaffordable housing nearSkyTrain stations.

The Green candidatesalso plan to return to for-mer density rules, updatethe community plan, andfocus on creating stacked,low-rise housing, he said.

Coun. Sav Dhaliwalspoke for the BurnabyCitizens Association, point-ing out that the currentcouncil has put some ofthe density bonus fundstowards housing, such asthe Poppy Residences forseniors in South Burnaby.

But the city cannot domuch without the coopera-tion of the provincial andfederal governments, ashousing is their responsibil-ity, he stressed, adding thatthe city only gets eight centsof every property tax dollar,and has to cover city ser-vices including police andfirefighters with that.

the city to pick up the slack,” Dhaliwalsaid.

In regards to questions from the audi-ence about why council increased propertytaxes and why it won’t fund more afford-able housing projects in the city, he pointedout they can’t keep taxes low and financehousing projects.

“You can’t have it both ways,” he said.The second question from the interagen-

cy council asked candidates how they’daddress the serious problem of poverty inthe city.

Coun. Pietro Calendino of the BCA spoketo the issue first, pointing out that refugeesand immigrants have come to Burnabybecause of the stock of rental housing here.

He also said the city has protected rentalhousing by not allowing developers to comein and replace it with condominiums.

TEAM council candidate June Jeffriessaid the party plans to develop a $2-millionemergency fund, to be managed by a non-profit organization, to deal with immedi-ate poverty issues in the city. The moneywould come from cutting excess spending,she said.

“What we don’t need is to continuedeliberating,” she said.

Green council candidate Matthew Stuartsaid a creative plan is needed for povertyreduction.

The Greens plan to introduce a foodpolicy to help low-income residents, toinstitute a living wage policy in Burnaby,and also propose a community transit pass

for the city, he said.Independent council candidate Nick

Akvenich said the city needs to form acoalition to address poverty. He pointedto organizations such as the Union GospelMission in Vancouver as good examples ofgetting things done.

“I’m hearing a lot of dreams aboutspending money here,” Calendino saidin his rebuttal, adding that would meanincreasing taxes.

The third question from the interagencycouncil asked how candidates would col-laborate with other levels of governmentto address issues facing vulnerable popula-tions.

TEAM council candidate Jim Favaro saidthe party plans to do an audit of resourcesavailable, and work with the community,while inviting the provincial and federalgovernments to the table to address theissues.

Mayor Derek Corrigan of the BCApointed out that the city has tried to workwith the province and federal governmentsin the past but many of these projects havefallen through because the other levelsof government wouldn’t commit to theirshare of each project.

Green candidate Carrie McLaren sug-gested working with community organiza-tions that already have seed funding butneed space, which the city could provide.

16 Local artist at Van Dop

A few years back, principal DavidStarr was talking to parents of children inEdmonds Community School, a Burnabyelementary with an inordinate number ofrefugee kids.

“One mom actually said we have anamazing story that needs to be told ina book,” Starr recalls. “She told me herstory, and she was right.”

At 14, the woman and her cousin lefttheir conflict-plagued home in Sudan and

walked more than 1,000 kilometres toneighbouring Ethiopia.

The story was remarkable enough toput a bug in Starr’s brain about a creat-ing a book chronicling the many storiesfrom refugee families who made incred-ible journeys to Canada. He sat on the ideafor a couple of years and eventually ran itpast a publisher.

“They were very, very interested intalking to me about it,” he said.

And on Oct. 11, From Bombs to Bookswas released. Starr describes the bookas a collection of tales from people whomade it to Burnaby from countries such asSudan, Iraq and Afghanistan.

“What they all share in common isthese kids all go to our school,” Starr said.

“It talks a lot about the work of the teach-ers and counsellors that support them.”

The book is for adults and teens and isavailable at Chapters. Proceeds go to thefamilies whose stories are depicted in thebook.

“The people (who told their stories)also wanted to honour their families andfriends, people who travelled these jour-neys with them who perhaps didn’t makeit,” Starr said. “One thing they all agreeon, they want the world to know whathappened. … We’re talking about thingsthat are going on today in many of thesecountries. This is contemporary history.”

The book is also a chance to countersome of the bad press Edmonds has hadfor scoring low on the Fraser Institute’s

annual ranking of schools, something Starrconsiders remarkably unfair.

“The work our teachers do is outstand-ing,” he said.

Roughly one-third of the kids who goto Edmonds are refugees or their parentswere refugees, many coming to Canadaafter years spent in camps.

“I was in a fortunate position to beentrusted to these stories, but really theheroes, if you will, it’s the families them-selves,” Starr said. “It’s through the bookthey’ve had the opportunity to tell the sto-ries. They are my heroes these people, theiramazing resilience and their strength.”

Starr is no stranger to writing. He wasthe winner in the Province newspaper’sserial thriller writing contest back in 2008.

Burnaby’s Claudia Liis celebrating a majorvictory with her

campaign to stop shark fin

soup.The local resident is the

founder of Shark Truth, anon-profit group dedicat-ed to stopping the practiceof “finning.” Fishermencatch the sharks and slicetheir fins off to makeshark fin soup, a delicacyfor Chinese weddings.The sharks are sometimesleft to perish finless andunable to swim. Li’s grouprecruited nearly 10,000

people to join a campaignurging Toronto city coun-cillors to ban the soupin their city. On Oct. 25,the councillors voted andadopted a citywide ban onthe soup.

“For a city the sizeand influence of Torontoto pass a shark fin billis a historic momentfor Canada,” Li said.“Councillors are settingan example of how we can

protect sharks from thewasteful practice of fin-ning.”

Make the bestof moving day

There aremany thingsto think about whenyou are in themidst ofmoving, and it’s likelyinsurance is not at thetop of that list.However, it could be useful tocheck your coverage ahead oftime rather than when amoverdrops your dining room table, orthe friend who is helping carryyour stuff puts his back out.

The advice is to contact yourinsurance professional earlyon to let them know you aremoving. They will likely want todiscuss coverage for structuralinsurance, which needs tocover the full cost of rebuildingyour house; contents insurancefor your belongings; andliability coverage.

“We would encourage peoplenot to try and think through allthe scenarios. Every situationis different,” says Tim Bzowey,vice-president of homeand auto insurance at RBCInsurance. “Expect your insurerto have the answers for you.Call us, let us know what yourplans are and invite us to help.”

You will need full coverage assoon as you own the condo unitor house, regardless of whenyou physically move in.

“If you own it, you need someinsurance on it,” Bzoweysays. “If you have amortgageagainst that property, you arelikely obligated to carry someform of insurance in the eventof a catastrophic loss.”

As well, the new homemayend up having an impact onyour insurance needs.

“Some peoplemight bemovingfrom a rental into their firstpurchased home,” says SaskiaMatheson, spokeswoman forAllstate Canada insurance.That would necessitate aswitch from a tenants’ policy toa homeowners’ policy.

When faced with the need to filla larger space, new furniturealone could significantlyincrease the value of yourhome contents.

“Go through your house andstart to make a list (askingyourself), ‘What would it cost meto replace all of my electronics,all of my jewelry, my clothes, myfurniture?’” Matheson suggests.“It can really add up very quickly,

so it’s important to ensure thatyou have the right amount ofcoverage.”

Policies vary, but if you aremoving within Canada, usuallypolicies will cover you for 30days from the beginning ofyourmove, Matheson says.“Your total coverage will besplit between your old house,your new house and while yourgoods are in transit.”

Bzowey says couplesmovingin together should also ensuretheir contents’ coverage issufficient.

As for the day itself, mostmovers offer insurance. ButMatheson suggests checkingthe details to see what thedeductible is and whether thepolicy only covers items packedby themovers.

And if friends will help withthemove, check your liabilitycoverage before the day. Then,budget for lots of pizza.

If you need evidencethat Chrysler has changed,look no further than themarketing for the rede-signed 300 sedan. In thelatest commercial, anannouncer speaks to theconcepts of character,conviction, pride … and afuel-efficient eight-speedtransmission. Meanwhile,the sedan is shown drivingconfidently and serenelythrough the streets ofDetroit, passing by school-children, firefighters, andfamilies on its way to ahouse in the suburbs.

The commercial rein-forces a compelling themeof success and renewalthrough commitment andhard work.

The 2012 Chrysler300 builds upon the bolddesign and powerful stanceof the original 2005 ver-sion, with refreshed styling.The real difference is inthe small details. Gone arethe little annoyances thatmade the past model morebark than bite, replaced byan attention to detail thatdramatically improves theoverall experience. Theengines are still big andpowerful, but Chryslerwould rather focus on theeight-speed transmission,fuel-efficient all-wheel-drive system, and dramati-cally improved interior.

DesignWhile many current

family sedans lean towardsportier exteriors, the 300has more in common withsuper-luxury sedans suchas the Audi A8 and LexusLS, looking as if it wascarved from a block ofiron. Notable styling cuesinclude the new LED day-time running lamps andelegant, trapezoidal grille.

The 300 is upright andsolid, but has a surpris-ingly trim figure thanks tothe clean lines and subtlecreases running the lengthof the vehicle.

As far as build qual-ity goes, the 300 is a vastimprovement over its pre-decessor. It might not beperfect, but the materials,fit, and finish have caughtup with the rest of the autoindustry.

PerformanceA new 3.6L V6 pro-

duces 292-hp and 260 lb-ftof torque, while the 5.7LHEMI V8 carries over frombefore with 363-hp and 394lb-ft of torque. Then there’sthe 6.4L HEMI V8 found inthe SRT8 model, produc-ing a staggering 470-hpand 470 lb-ft of torque. Asgreat as it is that Chrysleris pushing a fuel-efficienteight-speed automatic, it’sa bit disappointing that it’sonly available for the 3.6LV6, and is an option on thebase Touring model.

EnvironmentIn addition to looking

good, the cabin is highlyfunctional, with loads of

passenger and storagespace, including a largeglovebox and centre con-sole, huge map pockets,illuminated cupholders,and a folding rear seat toexpand the already consid-erable trunk space.

Thumbs upAcross-the-board

improvements; excellenteight-speed transmission;intelligent Uconnect Touch8.4 system.

Thumbs downLimited availability

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

Going where confidence takes herSwimmer Sherry Liu is

on a journey of self-dis-covery.

That is what HyackSwim Club coach MarkBottrill calls the Burnaby17-year-old’s accomplish-ments that led up to herearning a place at the recentPan American Games inMexico.

“At this stage withyoung swimmers, it’s self-discovery,” Bottrill said.“It’s not just learning howto do things better. Theyhave to tackle, in manyways, a huge amount ofwork, which scares thebejesus out of a lot of peo-ple.”

Liu appears to not beone of those people.

Born in China, Liu cameto Canada at the age offour. She learned most ofher swimming skills fromher father before settlinginto the Hyack family ayear ago.

Since then, Liu hastaken a big step into thesenior swim ranks, finish-ing second in both the 800-and 1,500-metre freestyle,while also placing third inher first-ever 400m at lastseason’s summer nation-als.

She also won her first-ever national title in the1,500m free at the worldtrials in Victoria earlier inthe season.

“I think my dad gaveme a pretty good base tobegin with, but I dropped20 seconds off my 800 free-style after coming to theHyacks,” Liu said.

But her improvement at

400m struck an individualchord with the academichonour student.

“My favourite race fromlast year was the 400 free,”she said. “I was beginningto write off that distance,but had a two-second dropin time from the nationals.… I was really happy withthat time. It was a greatconclusion to the meet.”

That feeling carried onto the Pan Ams, where Liuwon the B final at that dis-tance, placing ninth over-all in a 4:18.11 time thatwould have been goodenough for the champion-

ship final.So where does the unas-

suming Liu get the strengthto challenge the best at thelonger distances?

“I think it’s somethingI’ve tried really hard todevelop. It was easy withmy dad, practising one-on-one. You have to keepfocus and I think that’swhere it comes from,” Liusaid.

“I don’t think I’m oneof those athletes that hasraw power. … But whenit comes to distance swim-ming, it’s my cup of tea. Ifeel I’m light in the water.

When I’m swimming, I feelI can go on forever.”

And for the mediumterm, she likely will.

Liu will sign a letter ofacceptance from HarvardUniversity, where she willstudy and train followinggraduation.

From then on, her futurelooks wide open.

“What I really want todo is just focus on improv-ing,” Liu said.

“At the end of this sea-son, I want to leave thispool with no regrets. Idon’t know what that willbe, but I want to feel that I

honestly tried.”Knowing Liu, that will

be a given, said her Hyackcoach.

“To do what she did ina public swimming lane,it takes a lot of self confi-dence,” Bottrill said.

And confidence issomething Liu has workedhard to acquire.

“I try to be confident,especially in practice. If aset doesn’t go well, or ifI’m feeling tired, it beginsto wane a bit. But whenI’m behind the blocks, I tryto put all that behind me,”she said.

Going the distance: Sherry Liu of Burnaby will be swimming for Harvard University next year, but thereis still a full season of racing yet to do for the 17-year-old freestyle swimmer.


Cariboo Hill soccer off to AA provincialsA hat trick by Justin Dhaliwal

ensured the Cariboo Hill Chargerstheir first provincial soccer cham-pionship appearance in a decade.

The Chargers, unlucky 1-0losers to Windsor in the BNW/North Shore zone playdowns onMonday, were full value for a 4-1win over Seycove for the secondzone berth into the provincials atBurnaby Lake Sports Complex-West on Wednesday.

Dhaliwal opened the scoringmidway through the first half ona clinical finish off a great throughball from Reza Rahiem.

The Grade 11 high performanceleague forward for MountainUnited also scored a pair of sec-ond-half goals to put the game

away.“I was pumped. I had a good

feeling we were going to win, too,”said Dhaliwal after the game.

Dhaliwal made the score 3-1on a second breakaway ball fromRahiem, slotting his own reboundinto the far corner of the goal.

Dhaliwal also used his speed toturn a Bruce Duncan pass into ascore, outracing the Seycove keep-er to a ball before controlling theloose ball into the back of the net.

David Genet tallied Cariboo’sgame-winning marker in the 20thminute of the first half, one-tim-ing a hard Dhaliwal rebound thatwas cleared off the line back intothe goal.

Seycove scored its only goalon Charger goalie Juggy Dosanjhon a first-half penalty shot, sand-wiched between Cariboo Hill’s

two counters.“These boys they are amazing,”

said a happy Joseph Resendes,the team’s second-year volunteercoach.

“We got over Monday and wegot over the hump, I think. We’vebeen in so many games and gotinto the finals and lost. It wasgreat to get that monkey off ourbacks.”

Resendes, who has cerebralpalsy, was helped out by SecondStreet Community School teacherCarlo Bolognese.

“I have the soccer passionand Carlo has the organization,”Resendes said.

“Sometimes I think the kidsdrive off my passion and enthusi-asm, at least I hope they do. … Butsometimes I tend to ramble andthen Carlo can be quite concise

and to the point.”Resendes played for Canada’s

soccer team in the first CerebralPalsy International World Gamesin 2005, but was a final cut for thisyear’s national team.

“What I try to stress is I wasthat guy on the bench. … I’vebeen there. One thing I’ve doneis if you stick with somethingand keep working and today weused all our subs. That’s the wayI want it.”

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Nov. 13 - 19, 2011★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: Embrace change.Embrace dreams, mystery, subconscious urges, largefinances, intimacy, commitment and consequences.Look far ahead before you tie up your future. Youmight change your mind (or heart) in a few weeks ormonths. However, if you’re sure, wrap things up now.A slowdown begins next week. Health diagnosis orsurgery might be needed. Sunday’s busy, easy. Focuson your home, family, security Monday/Tuesday.Romance lures you midweek – and succeeds – butdon’t miss a splendid work-earnings opportunityWednesday. (Pursue it further Friday.)Taurus April 20-May 20: Start wrapping things up– a slowdown begins next week. Grab opportunities,shake hands, make agreements, concludenegotiations.Your romantic and creative sides intensifynow to next July – take note Friday eve, Saturday.Earlier, Sunday’s for shopping, earning. (Good formovies, computer games.) Communications, shorttrips, paperwork fill Monday/Tuesday – duties restrictyou, but you still succeed. Head for home Wednesdayto Friday morning – some happy, good things happenhere – and they seem connected to love, affection.You could meet “the one” Friday eve/night!Gemini May 21-June 20: A slowdown starts nextweek. Use the present interval to complete choresso they won’t interfere with a “homecoming” latemonth into December. You might be literally goinghome, or revisiting a place you once relocated to,or homecoming might be in the heart: meeting an“ex,” even a former opportunity in business or publicdealings – but that’s next week onward. For now,finish those chores. Your energy and effectivenessare high Sunday. Chase money or shop Monday/Tuesday – don’t buy used items. Midweek’s busy,affectionate. Investments succeed, Wednesday toSaturday.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Romance, creativity,adventure, beauty and pleasure continue to flow. Takea rest Sunday – withdraw and dream, contemplate,plan.Your intuition is high this eve,especially regardingfinances. Your energy, charisma and effectivenesssoar Monday/Tuesday: you might meet someone veryattractive. Marriage/partnership plays a significantrole. Something begins, something breaks. Chasemoney and/or shop Wednesday/Thursday – successpromised, both socially and in buying clothes for work.Charm and a bargain combine. Prestige errands,travel and a flirtation come, Friday/Saturday.Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Wrap up projects now. Nextweek brings a slowdown. Only start things you cancomplete in a few days. DON’T begin extensive homerepairs or renovations before Dec. 13/14. Generally,you remain in a sluggish rest period this week. Takecare of domestic, security and property concerns.Sunday’s happy, hopeful. (Intuition’s high aboutfuture finances.) Retreat, rest, contemplate and planMonday/Tuesday. Your energy, charisma and romanticoutlook rise nicely Wednesday/Thursday. Charm canlead to a career-earnings plum! Chase money Friday/Saturday, but don’t spend it.Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: A slowdown arrivesnext week, so complete projects and reach finalunderstandings now, especially in domestic, propertyand similar affairs. Read Gemini for a clue to upcomingweeks: you might grab a property deal that eludedyou, or experience a unique nostalgia about familyor home. For now, though, stay busy, communicate,tackle paperwork, errands and meetings. Sunday’sfor prestige, ambitions. Your popularity and joy riseMonday/Tuesday. Retreat Wednesday/Thursday:tiredness and romance mingle, which could cause alearning experience. Your energy and charisma surgeFriday/Saturday.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Complete rather than startprojects. A slowdown looms on the near horizon.Spend, earn, sell. You might have been frustratedover the last few months, as an investment, housepurchase or sexual relationship hasn’t seemedto gel. Perhaps you needed to figure out distance(commuting) factors, or couldn’t quite find thewords to speak to someone. That looming slowdownwill bring a re-examination of these matters. Bylate December (into mid-2012) you’ll be ready tomove decisively on life-changing financial, sexualor lifestyle actions. Wishes might be grantedWednesday/Thursday!Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Your energy, charismaand effectiveness remain high. Get out. March forth,impress people, call in favours, seek permission.Tackle intimidating tasks. Usually I’d say start bigprojects – but not now. A period of delay, mistakesand second thoughts begins next week, so finishrather than start. Sunday brings mysteries and thejoys of investigation. Lovers feel a sweet intimacy.Wisdom, gentle love come Monday/Tuesday: buynothing. Be ambitious midweek: good money and agood agreement are possible. Friday/Saturday bringsuccess at work, and some co-worker hi-jinks.Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Your tiredness willonly last another nine days. Until then, rest, dress andeat sensibly, and contemplate – your soul, your lifeand future actions. Don’t plan too precisely or too nearin the future, as conditions will change. (An elementof delay, even of “backwardation,” will exist fromNov. 23 to Dec. 13.) Others hold the aces Sunday,so join, don’t compete. DON’T invest or make anycommitments Monday/Tuesday. Wisdom, gentle loveand intellectual and travel themes arrive Wednesdayto Friday. Be ambitious – and gracious, forgiving– Friday/Saturday.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: A late wish might cometrue, as your round of socializing, flirtation, optimismand entertainment continues – for nine days.After this,it’s “quiet time.” Tackle chores Sunday – you’ll putyour hand on just the right job. Relationships dominateMonday/Tuesday. Successes mingle with somefrustration – but overall these two days bless you,especially if you’re diplomatic and eager.Wednesday tonoon Friday unearths depths, subconscious longings,sensual desires. You could have a secret interlude. Bea detective. Friday p.m. starts a weekend of wisdom,mellow joys, and indecision.Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Remain ambitious, butdon’t start new projects, nor plan any new venturesbefore Dec. 13. Complete projects and tasks instead.E.g., don’t ask your boss for more responsibility now,because he/she might give you something to handlebefore mid-December, and it could go unflatteringlyawry. Sunday’s romantic and creative – you’re alluring.Plunge into chores Monday/Tuesday (but practisesafety Monday morn, Tuesday night). Relationshipsgrow intense midweek – major luck can comemidweek through Saturday in a financial situation,and/or in sexual intimacy. A new friend, or old?Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Your mellow, thoughtfulmood continues. Soon, you’re going to be temporarilyshunted back to a busy old career or prestige/status role (perhaps in your neighbourhood) so takeadvantage of the present restful, sweet time. Sunday’sfor relaxation, home, daydreams. Romance, passion,creativity and a winning streak visit you Monday/Tuesday. Don’t violate anyone’s dignity. Tackle choresmidweek: a friendly yet challenging person or proposalmight greet you – say yes. Bosses like you Thursday.Friday afternoon into Saturday brings excitingmeetings, a sensual clinch or a “money deal.”
