FRIDAYMarch 9, 2012

The sister of a Port Moody woman who vanished aweek ago while on a cruise from the Bahamas to PalmBeach, Fla. says her family feels left in the dark aboutimportant details of the investigation being led by theFBI.

Fariba Amani, 47, is believed to have disappearedat some point overnight on Feb. 28 while on a cruiseship bound for Palm Beach.

“They’re keeping everything confidential,” Fariba’shalf-sister Saloumeh Amani told the Vancouver SunWednesday.

“They keep saying to be patient and to wait,” shesaid, wondering aloud if the FBI has reached out toother passengers on the cruise or to police in theBahamas, where her sister spent two days with her

boyfriend before they embarked together for Florida.“Will they go out and search again for her body in

the water at some point?” she said, pausing repeatedlyto contain her emotions.

The 1,100-passenger cruise ship arrived in FloridaFeb. 29 without Amani, but with her possessions andpassport still on board.

Authorities searched the ship and combed the wat-ers along its route, to no avail.

Her boyfriend, 46-year-old Ramiz Golshani, report-edly said he saw her last around 1 a.m. the night shedisappeared, shortly before he visited the casino andthen went to sleep on his own.

He reported her missing at 8 a.m. the next day afterthe ship docked, when he had still not heard from her.

Port Moody police said Amani’s family reportedFariba missing to them on Feb. 29, after beinginstructed to do so by the FBI.

“At this point we are assisting (FBI), but I can’t

actually disclose in which ways we are, because it istheir investigation,” Port Moody police spokesmanConst. Luke van Winkel said Wednesday. He said theinvestigation continues.

Saloumeh Amani said the family still has unan-swered questions for Golshani, whom they hadn’t metduring his eight-month relationship with her sister.

“We haven’t heard anything from him,” she said,noting they live in the same community and it wouldbe easy for him to get in touch.

Golshani said Tuesday he told investigators every-thing he knows, but has remained quiet — not evenspeaking to Amani’s family — since returning to B.C.because of emotional stress.

“You don’t know what happened to me over the lastweek,” he said, his voice breaking up. “I haven’t evenslept for 10 hours in one week. Last week, at this time,

Do Port Moody families needmore daycare options?

For Coun. Rick Glumac, theanswer is yes.

Glumac has proposed a zon-ing bylaw amendment thatwould allow more flexibilityto establish new commercialdaycares in the city.

“This started with me talk-ing to a number of residents inthe community who expressedconcern. They put me in touchwith some business ownerswho were trying to open up adaycare in Port Moody,” saidGlumac, a father of two.

“The further I looked intothis, the more solidified myopinion was that we reallyneeded to move forward. …We are the community withthe highest growth rate in theregion and we are a magnetfor young families, and yet wehave the most restrictive zon-ing for daycare.”

Glumac said it’s time tomodernize the zoning bylaw,which was adopted in 1988.

“Port Moody is a much dif-ferent community now thanwhen this zoning was first setup and I believe it is now timeto support the young fami-lies that are now calling PortMoody home,” he told council.

Jennifer Rodriguez is one ofmany parents who stood up tosupport Glumac’s idea at lastweek’s council meeting.

“My husband and I movedto this community becauseit seemed incredibly familyfriendly, sustainable and some-thing that we thought fittedour future needs.

“Upon having our child, whois now two years old, we foundthat we were in a quite difficultsituation in finding childcarewithin Port Moody that fittedthe standards that we were

The distance betweenCoquitlam and Saitama,Japan, is more than 7,500

kilometres.Seven-year-old Taiyo Boily is

hoping to bridge that gap witha lot of swings of the bat.

The Coquitlam second graderand his family were living inthe Tokyo suburb a year agowhen a devastating earthquakeand tsunami struck the islandnation.

The people of Japan are stillrecovering from the traumacaused March 11, 2011, whena quake measuring 9.0 struck,followed by tsunamis andaftershocks. Ever since then,Taiyo wanted to do somethingto help.

That’s where baseball camein.

On March 11, the boy willtake bat in hand and swing forthe people of Japan, especiallythe many children who a yearlater still live in temporaryshelters.

“I wanted to do somethingfor the kids a year ago when wewere still in Japan, but becausewe were making plan to comeback to Canada it never hap-pened,” Taiyo told the NOW.“I asked my mom and dad if Icould do this at the one-yearanniversary.”

Having picked up the sportat the age of five, Taiyo is pas-sionate about the sport, says hisfather Milo.

“Baseball in Japan is veryserious. When you join a teamyou basically play all year. Thatis why they are so strong inthe Little League World Seriesevery year,” says Milo. “He

learned this style of play anddedication to it while in Japan.He feels it is a natural thing toplay on a daily basis.”

A switch hitter, Taiyo willslug for three straight hours onSunday at Surrey’s Bolivar Parkbeginning at 10 a.m., with theproceeds raised going towardsJapanese earthquake relief.

On Tuesday after the storyfirst appeared on televisionand on The NOW’s website,the pledges had already brokethrough the original goal of$500. Since then, the newlyadjusted goal of $1,000 has alsobeen surpassed — before thefirst pitch.

Although he loves to hit, hisfavourite part is actually field-ing — with the Toronto BlueJays’ Brett Lawrie his favouriteplayer.

“My dad showed me videoof [baseball Hall of Famer]Roberto Alomar and I loved theway he plays. He switch hitslike me and dives for balls andthat is just how I play,” saysTaiyo.

“My favourite active player isBrett Lawrie because he nevergives up on any balls.”

Taiyo has maintained his reg-ular hitting schedule but hasn’tdone any extended training.

“This being the first time hehas tried to hit so long we real-ly do not know what to expect,”says his father, “but he hit 16balls on the right (side) and14 on the left in just over fiveminutes in training for this…Don’t worry. Taiyo will get torest whenever he needs it andfor how long he needs it.”

Coquitlam daycare operatorMaria McFerran has had a fourthcharge — manslaughter — addedto three previous charges in con-nection with the death of ArtoHowley, a one-year-old infant ather Rattle-N-Roll daycare.

The manslaughter chargecomes in addition to three previ-ously-announced charges — crim-inal negligence causing death,failure to provide the necessariesof life, and obstruction of justice.

On Jan. 17, 2011, police werecalled to McFerran’s unlicencedday care on Shaughnessy Street

where the infant died.Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Jamie

Chung said earlier that the casehas been “devastating” and diffi-cult on a number of fronts.

“Charge approval is an import-ant milestone in what has beena devastating incident for thevictim’s family and a difficult filefor even our most seasoned inves-tigators and Victim Services work-ers,” Chung said at a Jan. 9 pressconference where the three initialcharges were announced.

“But our work is not over. TheCoquitlam RCMP’s Major Crimes

investigators and our VictimServices team will continue to beheavily involved in this file as itmoves through the courts.

“Unfortunately, this tragic inci-dent is not over for the victim’sfamily either.

“While we understand that thisincident has raised a lot of ques-tions and concerns in the com-munity, there is very little we cansay about the original incident orour investigation — now that it isbefore the courts.”

Cuts put at-risk program at risk604-444-3451 [email protected]

NEWS TIP?NEWS TIP?GOT A

“We need a miracle.”Evelyn Humphreys reached

out to Port Moody council lastweek in search of last-minutesolutions to a financial crunchthreatening the future of AChance to Choose.

Run by SUCCESS, theemployment program for at-risk youth is funded primarilyby Service Canada. The PortMoody-based program pro-vides work skills to Tri-Citiesyouth aged 15 to 30 whohave barriers to employmentlike homelessness and addic-tions. Program participantsincrease their odds of findingemployment by completingwork-related certificates andorganizing projects to benefitthe community.

However, Humphreysrecently found out ServiceCanada will reduce the fundingto the organization. As a result,A Chance to Choose will needto reduce its staff levels effect-ive April 1.

“In our funding in A Chanceto Choose, we run year by year.So every year, we go to ServiceCanada, we submit a proposaland we negotiate. In January,we found out that we hadanother cut,” said Humpreys,the program manager.

“Our funding was cut byService Canada to the pointwhere we’re currently runningwith four staff and we will berunning with 2.3 staff. ... It’snot safe for participants or forstaff.”

Each 15-week intake costsabout $12,000, which includesminimum wage payments forparticipants. This price is lowcompared to roughly $55,000per year for a person living onthe streets, Humphreys said,citing the cost of health care,social services and shelters.

“If you’re looking for valuefor your dollar, I think AChance to Choose is reallyvaluable,” she said.

Facilitator Bob Lewis saidthey’ve been asked to cut 10per cent from their budget,amounting to about $45,000.

“Our program has been verywell run. It doesn’t have a lot

of fat in it anywhere,” Lewissaid.

“The only place that we haveavailable to cut the budgetis in the cost for staffing. …Trying to run the programwhere you’ve got that muchof a workload and that muchpressure on a staff person isobviously going to translateinto fewer services or a pro-gram that’s going to be totallydysfunctional.”

Lewis said they need about$60,000 to maintain staffingat the current level, consider-ing they will soon need to paya higher minimum wage toparticipants. To reduce oper-ational costs, they hope to finda less expensive venue or adonated space to operate.

Coun. Bob Elliott noted that

in the past six years, 300 peoplehave graduated from A Chanceto Choose with a success rateof 85 per cent.

“That’s amazing. … Youcan really tell the difference.They’re positive, they’re confi-dent and they come out feelinggood about themselves,” Elliottsaid.

However, Elliott said itwould be difficult for the cityto provide a municipal buildingfor their use.

Coun. Gerry Nuttall agreed.“As much as I appreciate

everything you’re doing and Ilike the program, you have tounderstand that our budgetsare tight too, really tight,”Nuttall said. “And that’s a formof downloading that I don’tknow whether we’re prepared

to accept.”Humphreys said they’re

looking everywhere for options.She is even considering diversi-fying services to include asmall restaurant to becomemore sustainable.

Port Moody council willrespond to their request at thenext council meeting, sched-uled for Tuesday, March 13.

‘Prolific’ pair face charges

looking for,” Rodriguez said.“We were able to find this childcare in

Coquitlam; however, there were many wait-ing lists of which we became a part of. In theend, our child ended up at a daycare in PortCoquitlam. So we drive 15 minutes in the oppo-site direction when both my husband and I gointo Burnaby and into Kitsilano for work.”

Better access to quality childcare will alsohelp keep cars off the road, she added.

Childcare provider Michael Samson said hehas been trying to open a daycare in Port Moodyfor the past three years.

“We’ve been really challenged with the zon-ing, which seemed to be the only issue thatcomes back. … Again it goes back to the zon-

ing regulation, which in Coquitlam and PortCoquitlam is so much more easier to do so,”Samson said.

“But in Port Moody, unfortunately it’s notreally something that’s possible at the moment.”

Mayor Mike Clay encouraged residents to letcouncil know about these types of challenges.

“In the six years that I’ve been on council,nobody has come down to us and said ‘I’m try-ing to open a daycare and finding it incrediblydifficult.’ … It would be nice if there are allthese challenges going on out there that peoplewould come and see us,” Clay said. “The doorsare always open and as you can see, we’re usu-ally amenable to looking at these things.”

Council voted unanimously to have staff pre-pare a report on the issue for further considera-tion.

Coquitlam RCMP announced the arrest of two “prolific offenders” Wednesday who are chargedwith a series of crimes allegedly related to drugs and weapons.

Coquitlam residents Michael Kim, 24, and Hyun Shin, 22, are facing more than 10 criminalcharges each, including possession of a weapon dangerous to public peace and drug possession forthe purpose of trafficking.

The two men were recently apprehended by members of the Coquitlam RCMP’s IntegratedDrug Suppression Team, which is made up of officers from both Coquitlam and from the PortMoody Police Department.

According to Port Moody Police, a search warrant at a Coquitlam home related to the caseturned up an AK47 automatic assault rifle with three fully loaded high-capacity firearm maga-zines. Officers also discovered numerous pre-packaged bags of marijuana, oxycodone pills andcocaine.

“Our intelligence-led and evidence-based method of fighting crime has proven to be effectivein reducing criminal acts committed by prolific offenders,” said Staff Sgt. Stan Szelagiewicz, thePlainclothes Section Commander of the Coquitlam RCMP, in a news release. “By focusing onthese offenders and crime hot spots, our proactive crime reduction method has produced measur-able positive results.

In addition, our integrated approach with other police agencies allows everyone to contributeto our common goal — to reduce crime.”

Kim was in court on Thursday, while Shin is due to return to court on March 26.

Be prepared for daylight savingsWhether it’s springing ahead of

ensuring safety within your household,time will be the name of the game thisSunday, March 11.

Representatives from the PortCoquitlam Fire and Emergency Servicesare reminding residents to test, clean andvacuum their smoke alarms, as well aschange their batteries this weekend.

It’s a message that fire officials trad-itionally look to promote twice a year, inspring and again in the fall, to coincidewith daylight savings and the changing ofall household clocks.

All homes in B.C. are required bylaw to have either a battery-operated orhard-wired smoke alarm on every floor.Smoke alarms should be installed outsideeach sleeping area and on every level of ahome, and mounted high on the wall or

on the ceiling.The chance of dying in a fire is 74 per

cent greater without a working smokealarm, according to study of almost50,000 fires in B.C., Alberta and Ontariobetween 2006 and 2011. As well, firedamage is reduced by 19 per cent with aworking smoke alarm.

However, that same study suggestedthat close to 25 per cent of smoke alarmswere not functioning properly at thosefire locations.

To ensure that your alarm is in work-ing order, reps with the PoCo Fire andEmergency Services are offering the fol-lowing tips:

• Follow the manufacturer’s instruc-tions for maintenance.

• Each week, test all smoke alarms bypressing the test button until the alarm

sounds.•Twice a year (at each daylight savings

time), change the batteries of battery-operated models, unless using a 10-yearsealed-in lithium battery ionizationalarm.

•Twice a year (at each daylight savingstime), open the case and gently vacuumthe inside using the soft-brush attach-ment to remove dust from the sensors.If it doesn’t open, vacuum through theholes.

• Replace your alarm every 10 yearsregardless of whether or not it still func-tions.

Those looking to purchase a smokealarm should ensure that the producthas either an Underwriters Laboratoriesof Canada, or Canadian StandardsAssociation certification.

The Coquitlam RCMP areinvestigating the discoveryof a man’s body found in theFraser River Wednesday mor-ning.

On March 7 before 9 a.m.,police received a report thata body had been found in thewater near Brigantine Driveand Schooner Street.

Cpl. Jamie Chung said

officers guarded the bodyand kept it in the water untilthe forensic team arrived togather evidence.

“We are now in the processof trying to identify the body.No names have been releasedpending next of kin notifica-tion,” Chung said Wednesdayafternoon.

“We don’t have a cause of

death. There is no obviousinjury or trauma, so IHIT isnot involved.”

The body is believed tobelong to a man in his 50swho didn’t have ID with him.Since police were able to takehis fingerprints, they believethe body had not been in thewater for a long time.

Coquitlam RCMP and B.C.

Coroners Service continue toinvestigate the incident to tryto determine the events priorto the man’s death.

Did you know that if you’re hurt in a car crash, thedefence (i.e., ICBC) may use secret video surveillanceof your activities after the accident to try and discredityou or reduce your claim?

Car crashes often lead to whiplash and other typesof soft tissue injuries to the neck and back. Thesetypes of injuries and the pain they cause are veryreal and sometimes persist for years. Unfortunately,they’re notoriously hard to pin down objectively bymedical tests. Courts must therefore rely on your ownevidence, clinical records of your complaints to yourdoctor or therapists, and expert opinions.

To counter this evidence, ICBC may secretlyvideotape some of your day-to-day activities in themonths and years after the accident. The defence maythen show this footage in court to try and prove thatyou aren’t a reliable and credible witness and that yourclaims of ongoing pain or limitation of movement orfunction are exaggerated.

A recent 2011 case in our Supreme Court offersan illustration. The plaintiff’s car was hit by anothervehicle going through the intersection against a redstop light. At trial, four years later, a key issue was howmuch the plaintiff’s ongoing back problems (caused bythe accident) still hurt her and limited her functioning.

The court was shown footage of surveillancevideotape surreptitiously filmed on several differentdates over the years. Some of these tapes, particularlythe 2009 and 2010 ones, showed the plaintiff walkingstiffly but normally (rather than with the limp orwaddle she said she had developed) and loading andunloading a cart full of groceries, loading a three- orfour-foot house plant into her car, and squatting,getting up and moving around a garden centre, allwithout apparent difficulty or limitation.

“The impression left by the videotape evidenceis of an individual less limited than [the plaintiff’s

evidence] would lead one to conclude,” said the court(which noted that other evidence also supported thisconclusion).

Still, while less than the $75,000 claimed for painand suffering, the BC Supreme Court awarded theplaintiff $40,000 in damages for her pain and suffering(in addition to other damages).

In another 2010 case, the plaintiff injured hisshoulder in a rear-end collision. The court was shownvideotape surveillance evidence showing him groceryshopping and unloading objects into his car. In thiscase, however, the BC Supreme Court decided thevideo footage didn’t contradict or cast serious doubton the plaintiff’s credibility. The plaintiff had been toldby his doctors to continue to use his left arm andshoulder; the footage simply confirmed that whenlifting heavy objects, he was “careful to use botharms” and often used his body to support the object.His main complaint was that he had pain when usinghis left arm and shoulder, and “a videotape cannotcapture all pain,” said the court. He received $45,000for his pain and suffering (and more than $86,000 intotal damages).

If you have a personal injury claim, you shouldbe mindful that you may be the subject of videosurveillance after the car accident – perhaps evenyears later, when the accident has faded from memoryand you are going about your daily activities. And ifhurt in an accident of any type, you should consult alawyer who can advise you, protect your legal rightsand help you recover fair compensation.

It’s an old cliché, but a good one: “A picture isworth a thousand words.” And it’s true.

In my opinion, there is nothing more valuablethan a good picture. A picture is many things.

It’s a reminder of good or bad times. It’s a way tohonour and remember those no longer with us.

It’s a memory of joy, happiness, sadness. A pictureis one of the most versatile possessionsone can own.

I’ve seen breathtaking pictures ofscenery, of mountains tipped with ice,rugged and menacing; I’ve seen sunsets,calm, peaceful, and meditative.

I’ve seen everything from cute furryanimals, to a picture of an amazinglyclear blade of grass. Each of these pic-tures recalls a different memory, eachevokes a different emotion, each meanssomething totally different to me.

I have a picture sitting on my shelf,right beside my desk. It’s of me and my two friends,one a girl and one a guy, taken ages ago, when I wasin Grade 1.

Back then, I was young and carefree. I was bestfriends with these two. I would play on the play-ground with them every recess and lunch and everyday after school, we’d go over to each other’s houses.

Like so many others, the three of us were insepar-able. The joy of simply being unconditionally there

for each other, rarely fighting or arguing, simplyfriends, was something that I cherished.

It was a great time of my life. And now, we’ve lostthat magic. The boy moved to New Zealand, and I’venever talked to him since, apart from one postcardhe sent me shortly after he moved.

I simply let my friendship with the girl dwindleover time. As we aged, the teasing ofbeing boyfriend and girlfriend started toaffect us more I think.

The seemingly insurmountable chal-lenge of being friends with the oppositegender started to divide us, and overtime, our friendship diminished. But Istill remember her.

Looking at that picture on my shelf,it brings back the joy of being withfriends, the regret and sense of loss, andthe happiness and naïveté of being a kid.But you can’t live in the past.

If you are forever focused on what was, you willnever know what could have been. Each momentyou spend regretting past actions means anotheropportunity slipping through your hands.

There have been many moments of heartbreak inmy life. The thing I learned from all of them though,is that I need to pick myself up, and keep movingforward.

Up ahead is the future, where anything is possible,

but behind you is the past, where nothing can bechanged. In the future, you can right past wrongs,address and correct your mistakes, and start anew.

The past is set in stone, and to spend forevertrying to change the past is akin to filling an ever-draining bathtub, or filling a sieve with sand. It’s astupid, impossible, crazy task to undertake, one thatwill accomplish nothing and get you nowhere.

Sure, it’s fine to reminisce about the good-olddays, and wish everything was back to how it was,but it’s up to you to go out and make a difference. AsGhandi said, “You must be the change you wish tosee in this world.”

Pictures are many things. They are the portalsinto places you will never visit.

They are the reminders of things lost, of thingsthat once were. They are our hopes and dreams, ourgreatest failures.

Photos are our reminders to cherish and honourour memories, but not to dwell on them. So, ultim-ately, a picture isn’t worth a thousand words.

It is far more valuable than that. A picture isinvaluable, for it is the physical embodiment of ourmemories, and it is our memories that make us whowe are today.

Photographs may fade, but memories live on

Stephen Hawking is universally acknowledged asone of the most brilliant theoretical physicists sinceAlbert Einstein.

A couple years ago, when asked to name themost pressing scientific challenge facinghumanity, Hawking promptly answeredthat it was the quest to produce com-mercially viable electricity from cleannuclear fusion — the same energy sourcethat powers the sun.

Unlike today’s nuclear reactors, fusionpowered reactors could be safely turnedoff in an instant and would be so safe they could belocated in the middle of heavily populated urbanareas, right where the majority of electricity demandhappens to be.

Imagine a power plant much, much smaller thanBurrard Thermal that could safely and cleanly power

the entire Lower Mainland, and beyond, without anyharmful emissions, radiation or risk of meltdown.

Unfortunately, commercially viable fusion powerremains stubbornly elusive and the scientists and

engineers working on the problem esti-mate that it will not be a reality for atleast 30 to 50 years, if not 100 years ormore from now.

That’s why the clean, renewableenergy sources we can develop today areso important, because they are going tobridge us from a world dependent on

dirty coal (the world’s major energy source for elec-tricity generation today) to a world that might oneday be powered by safe, clean fusion power.

As purveyors of news, we should be thelast people in the world to suggest thatsome news is too distressing.

But the financial news seems to have its own,special disturbing undertone that makes uswant to sit in the corner with our hands overour eyes and our ears thoroughly plugged.

It’s the endless yo-yo factor that repels us.On Tuesday stock markets around the world

fell sharply. Why? Well, according to the pun-dits, it was because of more problems withthe Greek debt crisis, which could also cause aEurope-wide crisis, which could cause a world-wide crisis.

So why did markets panic just one Tuesday?And more importantly, why had they been socheerful and positive for the past two or threemonths?

There have always been panics, booms andbusts, bull and bear markets, ever since therehave been financial markets. But it seems ourpresent financial overlords — the oligarchy ofbankers, bond traders, and ministries of financethat massage the flow of money around theworld — have gone mad.

The news about Greece has not been goodfor a long time. It has been either bad or verybad. In the long term, everyone thinks thingswill get worse before they get better.

Yet traders seem to be grasping for any strawof good news as we recover from the worstrecession in a generation. So stocks go up andup and up, and then down. Fast. We’ve seenstocks recover almost all the way to their pre-recession heights. Which likely means they havea long way to fall when things turn very badagain. Neither the heady rises nor the sharpplummets seem to be based on reality; it’s allfear and hope.

We’ll survive, of course. But maybe we’d getalong better with a little less minute-by-minutecoverage. The people running the economyseem to have lost their ability to think aheadmore than 10 minutes.

Teachers’ disputestill a hot topic

Re: “Teachers speak out,”Letter, Wednesday, Feb. 29.

I read with interest Ms.Hernandez’s letter. Before I goon, let me state that I have a highregard for teachers.

I had excellent teachers whenI went to school in the 1950s, mydaughter had excellent teachers,and so does my granddaughter,who is now in Grade 2.

However, in reading Ms.Hernandez’s letter, I cannot helpbut think that she believes thatteachers are the only professionalsthat require a high level of educa-tion, that are dedicated to theirwork, and that, therefore, deservespecial consideration.

She makes a lot of valid pointsabout feeling betrayed, unappreci-ated, being a mentor and pursuingfurther education. This, however,is not unique to the teaching pro-fession.

Ask any other professionalaffected by current economicconditions about how he or shefeels. Maybe the BC Teachers’Federation needs to wake up to therealities of life.

The teachers’ salaries are beingpaid by the taxpayers, many ofwhom have lost their jobs, havehad to accept lower paying jobsoutside their areas of expertise, or,if lucky, have only seen their salar-ies frozen for a number of years.

From that perspective, how can

the teachers’ federation justifyasking for their exorbitant salaryincreases?

All professionals will tell youthat if they don’t keep up withdevelopments in their fields, theirspecialized knowledge will soon beobsolete. And as far as dedicationgoes, I don’t believe any teacherever received a call late at nightthat required him or her to dashto his or her place of employmentto attend to an emergency thatcould have dire safetyor environmental con-sequences.

Sure they some-times put in longerhours, but who elsehas the vacations theyhave — summer,Christmas, spring break, not tomention those frequent “profes-sional development” days, whichseem to be just another excuse tohave an additional day off.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’twant to belittle the work teachersare doing, after all they are helpingto bring up our future. But I amgetting tired of hearing the teach-ers’ federation’s mantra that it isall for the children

They are nothing but a unionthat just wants to get the most forits members.

•••As a learner-support teacher,

one of my goals is to increase mystudents’ receptive and expressive

vocabularies.I often turn to several different

dictionaries, both the online ver-sions and the old-fashioned paperkind, to put together a compre-hensive definition of a word.

Thus, with the aid of Oxford,Webster, and Wikipedia, I offer thisdefinition of mediation: to resolveor settle differences, through pri-vate and confidential negotiation,with all the conflicting parties,using a wholly impartial mediator

to promote reconcilia-tion and compromise.

It seems thatChristy Clark coulduse a little extra tutor-ing on the concept. Ioffer my services.

Voter suppression aserious issue

I am very disturbed by thereports of interference in theelectoral process during the 2011election.

With the sheer number ofreports from numerous swing rid-ings (many of those reports werefiled immediately after the elec-tion) this points to a concertedeffort to suppress the vote.

It is not plausible that such alarge scale action, involving accessto various phone and addressdatabases, was the work of someoverzealous staffer.

Highly organized electoral fraud

is not only a crime, it is an under-mining of the very foundations ofour democracy.

This matter must be thoroughlyinvestigated through an account-able public investigation andinquiry process. If necessary, newelections must be called.

We are a democracy: we deservenothing less than honest, transpar-ent and clean elections.

Kudos to columnistRe: “Ignorance isn’t bliss for

Gen Entitled” column, Feb 24.Highest praise, Claudia

Malinowski, for tweaking GenEntitled about the path of selfabsorption. But let’s not forgetGen Whatever — the 30-55 year-olds who wheel around the TriCities in 400 horsepower barges,eyeballs deep in debt, screaminginto cellphones or texting, oblivi-ous to everything and everybodyaround them.

Long ago we opted to live inartificial environments. Now, near-ly all live mentally in an electroniccocoon that is not reality.

Real reality, as you suggest, isothers, along with the water, soiland air that give us life.

You are awake Claudia, andeager for what is real. I’m confi-dent that many of your generationare the same.

Adjust driving for time change, BCAA saysOn Sunday, March 11, most com-

munities in B.C. will switch toDaylight Saving Time.

That means some pretty drowsydrivers behind the wheel going toand from work the following Monday,according to a press release fromBCAA.

Driver fatigue is a dangerous condi-tion where the symptoms of sleepinesscan severely impair driving perform-ance, BCAA states.

Studies show that our circadian

rhythms or body clocks don’t adjust totime changes naturally. A tired driveris a dangerous driver.

Sleep deprivation impairs brainfunction as much as alcohol does,reducing the ability of the mind andbody to respond quickly and accur-ately. This impairment can affect yourdriving ability long before you evennotice you’re getting tired.

Symptoms of driver fatigue rangefrom heavy eyelids, frequent yawningand feeling irritable to misjudging

traffic situations, being surprised bya pedestrian or cyclist and allowingyour vehicle to wander or drift acrossthe line.

Sleep related collisions, hitting apedestrian, rear-ending the vehicle infront of you, veering off of the roadand into a parked car, are very com-mon after a time change.

Sleep is what the body really needsto be able to function properly.

The BCAA Road Safety Foundationrecommends drivers do the following:

• Adjust your sleep patterns beforethe time change.

• Avoid caffeine or other substancesto “wake you up.” This is short termand you may feel even more fatiguedonce it wears off.

• For better visibility drive withyour headlights on during the darkermorning commute.

• Be aware of the increased numberof people out walking in the eveningstaking advantage of the extra daylight,especially in residential areas.

Cancer society ‘desperately seeking’ driversDesperately seeking driv-

ers. That’s the message fromthe Canadian Cancer SocietyGreater Vancouver Region.

Facing a diminishing teamof volunteer drivers, theGreater Vancouver Region hasembarked on a campaign torecruit drivers interested intransporting patients to theirprimary cancer treatmentsacross the Lower Mainland.

Without more drivers,says support programs co-ordinator Sara Salehie, “Wewill have to tell some clientsthat we cannot send a volun-teer to pick them up.” Andthat, she said, would be verysad, because the volunteerdriver program is often the“last resort” for some cancerpatients.

Asking for help from the

society, she said, usuallymeans they don’t have anyoneelse to turn to.

Drivers are required to havetheir own well-maintained,smoke-free vehicle and a cleandriving record. Volunteer driv-ers who use their own car arecompensated for mileage.

Volunteers need to be avail-

able weekdays during businesshours, as that is when mostcancer treatment appoint-ments are scheduled. Theywill be screened and mustundergo a short training ses-sion and they are asked tocommit to a minimum of oneday per week for at least oneyear.

To learn more about beinga volunteer driver, visit www.

Health

Make time with your doctor countWhen you visit a doctor

in a clinic or in thehospital, it’s not a

social call.It’s not unlike a meeting,

with each party bringing anagenda of items to discuss aswell as individual expecta-tions. The problems beginwhen the agendas don’tmatch; the doctor and thepatient have different prior-ities and different expectationsfor the visit.

Now you’d think that yourreason for seeing the doc-tor should be obvious andstraightforward. When youbring a single simple problem— a sore throat, fresh lacera-tion or sports injury — it’seasier for both you and thedoctor to stay on the samepage.

But your life and yourhealth are more complicatedthan that; most patients bringin two or more medical con-cerns. Some may bring a listof six or more, and to makethe visit even more unwieldykeep that list in their heads,bringing out one problemafter another rather thansharing the entire list up

front. It’s like getting into theexpress line at the grocerycheckout then — like a magi-cian — pulling out anotherdozen items from your pock-ets and sleeves.

Your doctor may also havean agenda that differs fromyours. If youhave a chroniccondition such asdiabetes, a con-scientious doc-tor will want toreview your mostrecent lab results,explain their sig-nificance and talkabout how youcan improve yourhealth.

From the doctor’s pointof view, all of this is in yourbest interests, but if the doc-tor fails to engage you in thediscussion and you aren’tmotivated to address theseconcerns, you won’t be shar-ing the doctor’s agenda.

Recognizing this, what canwe do as patients and doctorsto come to a common under-standing and have our needsand expectations met at eachvisit?

The worst meetings at workare those where the attendeesdo not share a common pur-pose or understanding andwhen they do not begin witha shared agenda. If we take afew moments even before themeeting starts to plan that

agenda, we willmake the mostrespectful use ofeveryone’s time.

What can youdo as a patient?

When you bookyour appointment,tell the office staffeverything onyour list. Medicaloffice assistants

(MOAs) are part of your healthcare team and they respectyour confidentiality.

By informing them of allyour concerns, they can bookan appropriate appointmenttime for you and ensure thatthe doctor has everything thatis needed to look after eachof them. For example, if youare seeing the doctor for awork-related injury, you mayneed to provide additionalwork details or complete someforms before the visit. If you

are coming for test results,the MOA will ensure thatthe reports are in your chartbefore the doctor meets you.If you need immunizations,the vaccines and any othernecessary medical supplieswill be in the room when thedoctor sees you. This will helpyour visit run more smoothlywith your doctor less distract-ed by interruptions. For thesame reason, if you have anyaddition to your list on theday of your visit, let the staffknow as soon as possible.

Coming up: How doctorsand patients can agree on theagenda.

Do you have some sugges-tions for how patients anddoctors relate? Send yourcomments and suggestions tome at facebook.com/davidicus.wong or leave a comment onmy website at davidicuswong.wordpress.com.

Mustang GT makes a statementDear Tom and Ray:I took my GMC (‘06 K2500 Extended Cab) to the purchas-

ing dealer for service. My truck has only 20,000 miles on it. Itwas up on the lube rack when something either broke or col-lapsed, and my truck came down, rear end first, landing on therear tires and receiver hitch, with the front end sticking up atabout 60 degrees. I looked under it (I was afraid to actually getbeneath it), and saw that the underbody is damaged, especiallyaround the doors and side rail. The steps are totally crushed(they appear to have taken the bruntof the damage). They lowered thetruck by lifting up the rear end witha forklift so it could be brought down.I know about the body damage, butwhat about the frame rails? Are theylikely to be twisted or bent? Is thecab or bed twisted? When it was backon all four wheels, the crease line onthe cab no longer lined up with thecrease line on the side of the bed.The dealer says he will “take careof me,” and he gave me a car as aloaner. Everyone has been friendly and courteous about this.But I worry about unseen damage — the frame, or cab, or eventhe receiver hitch. That was quite a fall — it was six feet tothe concrete floor. What do you think? Will my truck be OK?Or will it be twisted or bent? It was in outstanding conditionbefore. Please advise.

— Sven

TOM: Yes, it’s highly likely that your frame got bent.RAY: Six feet might not sound like a lot, but when you weigh

5,000 pounds and don’t have knees, it makes for a hard landing.

Fall at shop couldmean a bent frame

The Mustang has always been aunique vehicle with its own charac-ter and performance traits that set

it apart from many other “average” sportscoupes in the marketplace.

The vehicle really captures the spiritand excitement of the muscle-car era, anera that is fondly remembered by many.

For 2012, the difference is under thehood. That’s where you’ll find 412 rawhorsepower speaking loudly to anyonethat’ll listen. It’s not a quiet steed, nor isit docile, but it’s a tremendously reward-ing pony for those with a lust for per-formance and a heart for nostalgia.

The 2012 Mustang GT Convertible is afine rendition of all that made the earlymuscle-car era so special. Despite its con-stellation of airbags and modern vehiclestability/safety accoutrements, my tester’sretro-spirit wasn’t dampened with thepresence of a modern navigation systemor other in-car tech toys.

Except for Ford’s discreet SYNC sys-tem, the 2012 GT ragtop fulfills autoenthusiasts’ desires with simplicity andbeauty, such as its easy-to-use knobs tocontrol audio and climate functions. Thepresence of conventional switchgear andfull instrumentation was a refreshing find— and frankly, I wouldn’t want it anyother way in this sort of car.

I also wouldn’t want to change what’s

under the hood.The GT’s 5.0-litre 32-valve V8 power

plant produces its height of 412 horse-power at 6,500 rpm. This huge herd ofhooves is complemented by 390 pound-feet of torque at 4,250 rpm, the sum ofwhich flows through a six-speed gearbox— automatic or manual. In my case,manual — and thank you.

The GT’s horsepower was boosted to412 in 2010, so the beast of an engineenters 2012 just the same, which is tosay with plenty-o power and matching

auditory punch. The Mustang GT isn’t adiscreet Ford, let’s be clear about that.

If the Grabber Blue paint doesn’tscream loud enough for attention, thetwin pipes will. Ford hasn’t stumbledupon the Mustang GT’s aggressiveexhaust note by accident — there’s beenresearch and experimentation to get it“just right.”

And it’s that distinctive V8 popping,burbling and growling that makes this

Dealer who dropped truck from hoist should buy it backYour truck may be done for.

TOM: If your frame is notperfectly rectangular, thetruck will always ride andhandle strangely, and becausethe wheels will never be align-able, your tires will wear outprematurely.

RAY: You certainly arewithin your rights to have thetruck taken to an auto bodyshop of your choice to get anindependent opinion.

TOM: If the frame is notbent, you’re all set, and theycan just fix the body damage.If the frame is bent but therest of the damage is not tooextensive, it’s possible thatyour frame can be replaced.Toyota’s been doing that forowners of old Tacoma pickuptrucks whose frames haverotted out. So it’s possible todo. And again, if you have thisdone, you should have yourown body shop verify that itwas done well before agreeingto accept the truck back.

RAY: Their only otheroption is to take the truckas a trade-in. Here’s the fair-est way to do it: You find theblue-book, retail value of yourused truck. That number willbe adjusted for your low mile-age so that it’s fair to you.

TOM: And then the dealertakes your truck (he can fixit and resell it, or auction it,or crush it) and gives youthe blue-book value in credittoward any car he sells. So

you can use it to buy anotherused Sierra, or you can putthat amount toward a new

vehicle if you want to. Itshould be your choice, Sven.

RAY: And if the dealer

complains that he doesn’tbuy used cars at retail price,remind him of two things:

(1) He’s not buying this car— he dropped it. And (2) he’llbe selling you another car at

retail value, so he’ll still haveplenty of opportunity to takeadvantage of you!

car such a delight to drive— especially with its rooflowered so that the full cac-ophony can be appreciated inan unfiltered state.

Of course, if you’re gonnatalk the talk, you’d better becapable of walking the walk —and the GT certainly is. Thepower under foot is immenseand ferocious, especially oncethe big-8 crests 4,000 rpm onits rapid rise to a 7,000 rpmredline.

Adding to the exhilaratingexperience behind the wheelis the availability of a short-throw notchy six-speed stickthat’s topped with a steelcue ball. It doesn’t get muchsweeter than this for dyed-in-the-wool motoring fans.There are no shift paddlesand there’s no lightning fastdual-clutch shifting; there’salso no rev matching or anyof the latest tech gadgets thatremove the driver from thephysical role of making thingshappen.

Family

Summer camp teaches kids about independenceImagine a group of your

friends sitting around acampfire on a beach some-

where.If any of them attended

summer camp as a child I canguarantee youthat they will findthemselves think-ing about theirold camp songs.

Then someonewill begin to humand soon anotherwill start singing.They will be eight,or 12 years oldagain, roastingmarshmallows, sitting underthe starlit sky and singingtogether.

Camp memories stay withyou for life. We know we needto give our kids roots andwings. We give them rootswith our love, with our guid-ance, with rules and withboundaries. It makes themfeel grounded and secure andready to take on the world.And it takes wings to moveforward. Summer camp isa great way for our kids totake the necessary steps toindependence. They go awaywithout you, they make newfriends, they live in a differentenvironment and they grow.

Research shows that 90per cent of people who wentto a residential camp alsosent their children. Since myhusband and I were childhoodcampers and counsellors, youcan bet our kids attended. Thetrick is to choose the rightcamp for your child. Then youneed to trust the camp staffand your child.

What are the considera-tions when selecting the rightcamp?

Is your child ready to beaway from home? Has heor she spent some nights

with friends or relatives andhow did they handle that?Remember, this is aboutwhether your child is readyto be away from home, notwhether you’re ready. It can

be hard to letour kids go, tolet them head offinto the unknownwithout us alongto look afterthem, but as soonas they’re ready,it’s the best giftwe can give them.They learn theycan handle things

on their own and we learnthey can survive without usfor a short while.

First, however, do your duediligence. Look at the train-ing of the camp staff. Is thewaterfront staff qualified tolifeguard children? What isthe ratio of staff to children?Are there staff members whohave been working at thecamp for a number of years?The best way to really assess acamp is to talk to the parentsof children who have previ-ously attended. If you can talkto parents who share yourvalues and have kids quite likeyours, that is the absolute bestroute to go.

Speaking of values, thisis an important part of thediscussion about summercamp. Often camps are associ-ated with organizations youalready know. Maybe yourchildren are involved in pro-grams at the Y, the Boys andGirls Clubs, or your churchor sports team. In these casesyou already know a lot aboutthe staff and its values. It isimportant to know who runsthe camp. Ask if it is religiousand if so how much religion isincluded in the programming.Some parents have chosen a

great camp only to find outlater, when their child returnshome, that there was a strong,pervasive religious messagethat hadn’t been mentionedin the literature. If the campis religious, ensure that activ-ities and messages fit withyour belief system.

What do your kids wantfrom a camp experience?There are so many optionsfor kids today. Some childrenlove a rustic camp with tentsor basic cabins and outdoorbiffys. They are looking forwater sports, hiking and phys-ical challenges.

Other kids are lookingfor something a little moreupscale with hot showers andflush toilets. There are campsfor all kids. Choose the onethat best fits your child.

To help you assess thesafety of the camps, the B.C.Camping Association offers an

accreditation process for allcamps that have been runningfor at least one year. Knowingthat the camp you’ve chosenis accredited is one way toknow that it has met the basicstandards in terms of train-ing, programming and safety.To get more information oncamps and accreditation, goto www. bccamping.org.

Once you have selected acamp, attend the open house.This is a marvellous oppor-tunity to meet the camp dir-ector and the staff. Listen tothem and note how they talkabout the kids and the activ-ities. Don’t be afraid to asklots of questions. If the staffis not comfortable with yourconcerns, choose anothercamp. Do your homework,then kiss your children good-bye and let them head off fora great adventure that they’llremember for a lifetime.

Garden

Crop rotation helps prevent pests from finding food“I could really use some

advice on how to get the mostout of my very limited garden.It is long, narrow and insidea retaining wall. Tomatoes dovery well. I have tried plantingchives, cabbage, cucumber,mint, peppers, pumpkin andcarrots. Pumpkins and carrotsusually don’t do very well. Ireally wish I could grow them.Do you have any suggestionson how I should plan my gar-den this year?”

Julia Nygravia e-mail

Crop rotation would helpimmensely. This spring, tryplanting each of your vege-tables in a different spot fromthe place they occupied lastyear. This makes it harder forany pests to increase in num-bers to the point they causemajor trouble because they’llhave to go looking for food.Even a small change wouldhelp.

It would also be useful if you

got one or two bags of organiccompost to use as top dressingalong the bed. If you want totry growing pumpkins again,a bag of manure would also beuseful to dig into their desig-nated spot. Pumpkins needvery rich soil. Buteven with rich soil,you just don’t haveenough room inyour long, narrowgarden bed to growbig pumpkins forHalloween carving.There are compactvarieties of pump-kins, squash andzucchini, though,that don’t need nearly as muchspace.

Names of these bush vinevarieties include “snack Jack,”which produces bowling-ballsize pumpkins; “table kingbush acorn,” which producessmall winter squash; and“black beauty zucchini.”

About your carrots: I won-der how easy it is to cultivate

the soil deeply in your retain-ing wall bed. It’s importantto grow carrots in loose soilwhere it’s easy for their rootsto penetrate. They hate clay.You’d possibly be more suc-cessful with the “Danvers”

heirloom carrot.This has shortstubby roots thattolerate difficultsituations well.

I should men-tion that if thereare stones orrocks in yoursoil, carrots oftendevelop forked,misshapen roots

that sometimes are quite hairy.Another hazard is the carrotrust fly. The carrot variety “fly-away” and also “resistafly” areless attractive to this fly than

other carrots.Some crops take up very

little space if you grow themvertically, and the soil at theirfeet can be used for otherplants such as green onionsor parsley. Cucumbers do verywell climbing a small trellis.It’s also possible to grow polebeans up an obelisk.

I’m sure one reason yourtomatoes grew so well isbecause concrete blocks are aheat sink — absorbing warmthfrom the summer sun in thedaytime and slowly releasingit at night. If you like very hotpeppers such as jalapeños andcayenne, you might be inter-ested to know that these areeven easier to grow than sweetpeppers and produce massesof fruit.

Before you get warm

enough weather to set outtomatoes, you could try grow-ing some cold-tolerant fast-growing salad crops in thatplace — arugula or radishesperhaps.

Try to keep a very closewatch on the mint. It’s incred-ibly invasive. If it gets its rootsbetween those big concrete

retaining blocks, it will bevery hard to control its spread.Transplanting the mint into aseparate container might saveyou a lot of grief in the future.

In the Silver State wheregaudy is king, Coquitlam’sRobin Lowenberger displayed

a bit of flash on the pitch.The Dr. Charles Best

Secondary student found himselfimmersed with a new group ofteammates and a new kind ofrugby challenge.

When the dust settled at theLas Vegas 7 Invitational tourna-ment, Lowenberger was prettyimpressed.

Those who watched the 17-year-old fly half were equallyimpressed.

“It was a blast,” Lowenbergersaid of the tour with the DogRiver Howlers under-18 men’steam, which gets its name fromthe TV show Corner Gas.

The 2004-to-2009 series wassituated in the small rural — andfictional — community of DogRiver, Sask. There is nothingfictional about the Regina-basedrugby club, however.

The team pulls playerstogether from virtually all pointsof the nation for national andinternational tours. It’s membersinclude numerous national-levelplayers.

Lowenberger, who’s playedrugby for nearly seven years,approached it like any big event.

“I think I fit in quite well, wehad guys from all over the coun-try,” he said. “I only knew oneperson, and I was really nervousabout how I’d fit in.”

The Grade 12 student-athleteis well-versed in rugby, withhis father having played forBarbados. He’s also played thepast few years with the UnitedRugby Club. Although he consid-ers himself more of a lacrosseplayer, the physical nature of thegrass game remains alluring.

“There’s something about rugby thatI’ve always liked, like you are alwaysmaking tackles and hits.”

His selection to the Dog River pro-gram kind of came out of the blue.National team member and Dog Rivercoach put on a clinic for Lowenberger’sschool team, took notice of the teen’sskills and makeup, and saw the basis ofa really talented player.

“Robin fits that diamond-in-the-rough profile, as someone who israw but extremely talented,” noted

Dog River coach and player RobinMacDowell in a phone interview fromRegina. “He’s mature beyond his yearsand exceptionally talented.”

In Vegas, the u-18 recruits wereexposed to a high calibre of rugby 7action. After losing the first two gamesDog River bested Pacific Northwest22-17 in overtime, with Lowenbergersetting up the winning try.

In the consolation final, the U.S. AllAmericans pulled out a 10-0 victory.

“The highlight for me was whenwe played the U.S. national and lostby 10 points,” the teen recalled. “We

measured up quite well consideringwe hadn’t played together before. I wasquite impressed.”Slotted in at flyhalf, Lowenberger gotto demonstrate his strong stride andestablished himself as someone whocould generate a lot of offence.

“He is what I call a ‘one-off’ in termsof talent and desire,” said MacDowell.“I noticed something about him lastspring when I was coaching a [B.C.]session and ID him for our club.

“He’s got the game in his blood.”Best rugby coach Jun Ishii concurs.At the high school level,

Lowenberger established himself earlyas a player on the rise. In Grade 9,he played a couple of senior games atscrum-half. He also started for Best inthe 2008 Valley Tier 2 championshipfinal, showing no fear going againstplayers two and three years older.

“[Robin] is a gifted runner witha good combination of speed andstrength,” remarked Ishii. “It oftentakes two or three opponents to tacklehim. Defensively, Robin is rock solid.”

Going into the Vegas tournament

If nothing else, at least thegoals came in abundance ina pair of mid-week games onVancouver Island.

The trouble is, half of those14 tallies found their way intothe back of the Coquitlamnets, as the Express posted apolished 7-3 win over VictoriaTuesday before being blasted7-1 the next day in Nanaimo.

Down 2-1 after two periodsWednesday, the Express col-lapsed in The Hub City duringthe final stanza, giving up 27shots and five goals en routeto the lopsided loss.

Three call ups saw actionin Wednesday’s loss — GarettWoodside, Alex Roberts andQuin Buckellew — and bothCoquitlam keepers were calledinto duty as well.

Starting netminder ColeHuggins took the loss afterallowing six goals on 40 shots,while Khaleed Devji allowedone goal on nine shots in justover six minutes worth ofwork in the third.

The Coquitlam tally wasscored by Brady Shaw.

Tuesday’s win in the pro-vincial capital saw the squadtake a scoring-by-committeeapproach, as 11 of the team’s16 skaters collected at leastone point in the 7-3 win.

Leading the scoring paradewere Justin Georgeson,Clinton Atkinson and Shaw,who netted three points each,while Jace Hennig, AlexanderKerfoot and Zach Hodderpotted a pair of points apiece.Kerfoot and Georgeson talliedtwice, while the singles camefrom Alex Petan, Mitchell Fyfeand Shaw.

Devji made 33 saves on 36shots to secure the Express’36th win of the season, a victo-ry that pulled them one pointbehind third-place CowichanValley.

The Douglas College Royalsroared again at the CanadianColleges’ Athletic Associationnational badminton champion-ships.

Douglas players took medalsin four of the five categories,including gold in the women’ssingles and men’s and mixed

doubles at the national finalsin Kamloops last week.

RuiLin Huang was againthe toast of the tournament,winning a fourth consecutivesingles crown, while Rey LuoWei and Simon Wu came backto capture the men’s doublestitle in dramatic fashion.

Charmagne Yeung andfreshman Logan Campbell alsowon a gold, taking the mixeddoubles title without dropping

a single game.First-year walk-on Bob

Sharma of Douglas also med-alled, earning the silver inmen’s singles.

“I’m exceedingly proud ofthis team,” said Royals headcoach Al Mawani. “I’m veryproud of Simon (Wu). He wasoverjoyed. He really wanted it.

“Things like this just makeyou proud... They just won’tquit no matter what. We didn’treally know how we’d do. Butto pull all these results ourway, I was extremely proud ofthem.”

Huang, who prior to thenationals was awarded afourth straight CCAA women’s

badminton player of the yearaward, had just one misstep inher march to a fourth women’stitle.

She defeated Ontario champTracy Wong in three games intheir Round 2 matchup, drop-ping her first game this season21-18 in the second set.

Huang rallied, remained incomplete control and sweptthe remaining opposition,including a 21-13, 21-10 vic-tory over Wong in the gold-medal final.

“We never gave up. Therewas no give up no matter whatthe score was,” said Mawani.

The men’s provincialchamps, Wei and Wu, lost

their opening two matchesin round-robin play to thePacWest hosts and Ontario butavenged both defeats in theensuing playoffs.

Wei and Wu toppledKwantlen University 21-12, 21-15 to advance to the finals.

The Douglas pair thenbested the Ontario tandem ofDayvon Reid and Mark Wong21-19, 12-21, 23-21 in whatturned out to be the match ofthe tournament.

“It’s our fighting experiencethat allowed us to bring usback,” said Mawani.

It was also evident inSharma’s victory, as he upsetPacWest champion Luke

Couture in two separate men’ssingles matches.

Sharma easily beat Couture21-9 in a third set tiebreaker inthe opening round.

The first-year Douglasstudent then topped Couture23-21, 22-20 in the men’ssemifinal before falling in thegold-medal match to three-time defending men’s singleschamp Dan Kai of Alberta.

In mixed doubles, Campbelland Yeung were first-timechampions.

Since 2009, Douglas athleteshave won 12 individual goldmedals and four silver in 20events at past Canadian asso-ciation championships.

Spearheaded by AustenButler’s three goal perfor-mance, the Port Coquitlamunder-16 boys Athletics cap-tured the Div. 2 Boys Cup witha 6-3 doubling ofPitt Meadows lastweek.

Chipping inwith a pair ofmarkers was NickAgnoletto, whileMitchelle Moslenko added asingle. Anchoring a stellardefensive effort was ShaunAlex, while netminder SamPironaggi was solid in goal.

COQUITLAMCapping a tremendous run,

the Coquitlam Metro-Ford u-11 select boys Espana slippedpast clubhouse rivals Shakhtar2-1 for the North Fraser Cupcrown.

Shakhtar scored first butEspana put in a strong rally.Goals by Kasey Netter andHarjun Dhaliwal proved to bethe difference. Coquitlam got a

complete team effort in limit-ing Shakhtar to just one goal.

• Up against first-placeLangley in the u-14 boys final,the Coquitlam Metro-Ford

Rockets rose tothe occasion androlled to a 2-0 vic-tory.

Team work andperseverance werethe keys in the

shutout decision. Supplyingthe offence were Cody Pallinand Sourna Vafardy.

PORT MOODYWith a relentless charge

against a cross-district rival,the Port Moody u-12 boys ACSelects emerged triumphantand took away the NorthFraser A Cup title.

Port Moody knocked offCoquitlam Metro-Ford 4-1 inthe final, capping a season thatsaw the team begin the seasonslowly but build momentumover the final eight games— winning seven.

Butler does it inAthletics cup win

Douglas dominates again at badminton nationalsSports

after prepping for the high school season proved to be a hugeeye-opener.

“At the tournament, if you’re not going full speed you aregoing to get flattened,” said Lowenberger. “At school you seeguys with little to no experience… Speed is really important atmy position. You have to hit the group and speed through. Youcan’t be going at a jog or you’ll get caught.”

This new-found success presents an interesting option forthe six-foot-one player. Although he considers lacrosse his firstsport, Lowenberger is contemplating continuing his education atthe University of Victoria, where rugby would play a big role.

It is also where the national program is based.“That would be pretty high on my list,” he noted of playing for

Canada. “I put it up there with box lacrosse and playing at thenationals.”

MacDowell notes that with rugby’s inclusion for the 2016Olympics, the opportunity is there for the Coquitlam player.

“He’s got a bright future in front of him.”

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Mar. 11 - Mar. 17, 2012★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: This is your lastweek of weariness, obligations, restrictions andlow charisma. Be spiritual, charitable, and cleanup lingering threads with government and “headoffice.” Avoid new projects now through April 3.You’re heading into indecisiveness – or mistakes– in your work zone. (You, co-workers, or those onanother level, might misunderstand directions andcommunications, which can cause the mistakes; bealert, and ask if you feel confused.) Sunday/Mondaybring mystery, and lucky financial action. Be duteousTuesday to Friday: a possibly momentous careerdevelopment looms.Taurus April 20-May 20: It’s your last week ofwishing and hoping, of socializing and happiness,so enjoy it to the fullest. A major relationship mightstart this week, or you might stumble upon a majoropportunity, negotiate/litigate successfully, orrelocate. Yet another major phenomena – Mercuryretrograde, says don’t start anything new, normake any big commitments, un-doable changes,or promises now through April 3. But if you lookcarefully, that relationship, relocation, negotiation,etc., might be a form of correcting a past mistake.(Likely one that occurred in the past three months.)Gemini May 21-June 20: What is it? A past goodor bad deed coming due? Or a revision to a big stepyou took before (perhaps recently, since November2011)? Or something you’ve long wanted or plannedon? In any case, three things are happening now:1) indecision, mistakes and delays affect ongoingprojects, and will cripple brand new ones; 2) the past,past contacts, ideas, ventures, situations, tend torecur; and 3) almost every day this week, good fortuneaffects your financial, debt, investment, sexual, deephealth and research activities. Be optimistic and brave– by next week, you’ll celebrate.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Start nothing newbefore April 4. Until then, protect ongoing venturesfrom delays, mistakes and indecision – have a“Plan B” ready. Make lists before you shop, double-check addresses, dollar figures, etc. I’ve told you forseveral years that 2008 to 2023 will bring true love– this is one of the weeks this might occur, especiallySunday/Monday or Thursday/Friday. However, thisrelationship might have some connection to the past– e.g., introduced by a “long lost” friend or relative,or he/she’s connected to a job/career you once held,etc. A big wish can come true! Communicate.Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Start nothing brandnew before April 4. Protect ongoing projects andrelationships frommisunderstandings,shortages anddelays (especially in financial, intimate, health, legal,travel, educational and cultural zones). Welcomeresurrected or returning ventures and people fromthe past – important success potential lies here. Youcould flow into major luck/success in career, work,earnings, possessions and money. (In all this, your“foundations” are key – property, home, family.Examine/improve these Sunday/Monday.) A formersweet, sensual person (or boss) might return.Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Start nothing newbefore April 4. Until then, protect ongoing projects,situations and relationships from mistakes, delaysand misunderstandings; and, this week, at least,welcome/resurrect links and ventures from thepast. Great happenings, splendid fortune, cancome from the past now (this Sunday to Friday)especially in legal, international, cultural, love,intellectual, educational, travel, romantic, creative,speculative and child-oriented zones. Be pro-active; try everything in these zones that has a“past connection.” E.g., a returning relationshipcould lead to marriage.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Start nothing newbefore April 4, especially in relationships, litigation,negotiation, public interfacing, and work, health anddiet zones. Protect ongoing projects and links frommistakes, delays and misunderstandings.There is one“escape” from what seems like a dead-end: the past.This week, especially, people and projects returningfrom the past can be a huge blessing – primarily inreal estate, home, family, security, garden, investment,lifestyle, health and sexual zones. E.g., a home you’vealways wanted becomes available. Buy it! Someonemight return, offer intimacy.Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Start nothing new beforeApril 4, especially in social, sexual, financial, group,health and lifestyle zones. A real success might comein the present week in relationships, relocation,partnering (in love or business) dealings with thepublic, negotiations, litigation, and communications,travel and paperwork – IF a past connection exists.E.g., beginning a new lawsuit, advertising campaignor relationship, will likely fail; but re-establishing arelationship or finishing a neglected application couldlead to great success. Communication important.Love, romance, joy exist!Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Until April 4, startnothing new. Instead, protect ongoing projects andrelationships from mistakes, misunderstandingsand delays. (E.g., your factory might run out ofsteel fittings halfway through a major order: soorder much more, or pay a premium for quickdelivery, etc.) Until April, past contacts andventures offer openings and success. An oldflame might return. The week ahead offers hugesuccess in earnings, work and health (and tosome degree in sensuality). A hidden (former) allycould be instrumental – or a government agency,institution. Remember, the “past!”

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: I keep tellingyou a new future, new hopes and goals and a newsocial circle, will come to you (2009-2023) via thedifficulties that seem to beset you. (Moaning aboutyour losses would be like renovating your house, andwailing about the destruction of old walls, even thoughyou know the end product will be splendiferous. Youare being renovated, by life, by God.) You take a giantstep toward this future this week – by resurrectingthe past. Do so! Romance, a risk, a speculation, acreative accomplishment are involved. Legal, travel,cultural zones also benefit. Huge luck here.Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Start nothing beforeApril 4. Protect ongoing projects from mistakes,delays, shortages and misunderstandings. Your“connections” to the past could prove very fruitfulthis week. A returning project, person or situationcan bring splendid luck in financial, sexual, health,research, management, real estate, family, home andgovernment-institution-corporate zones. Jump onanything “returning” here. (E.g., a house you deeplydesired now comes back on the market – seize it.)A former friend might appear; this isn’t really an oldflame. Indirectly, money/career receive a boost.Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Start nothing new beforeApril 4. Until then, protect your ongoing interestsfrom false moves, misunderstandings, mistakes anddelays. Have a “Plan B.” Your energy and charismaremain high. Many, many strands from past actionscome together this week in an explosion of luck andsignificance. Don’t hesitate; do act – but preferablyon something from the past or connected to it. Themajor areas affected are relationships, money/earnings, possessions, important communicationsor travel connected to your career or social standing,and group affairs. A wish will come true.
