Transcript of Coquitlam Now February 22 2013
An alleged prolific lot-tery ticket thief will have toanswer to more charges whenhe faces a judge next week.Coquitlam Mounties
announced additional chargesagainst 37-year-old AnthonyBakker in connection withmore than a dozen robberiesin the Tri-Cities and aroundthe Lower Mainland.Bakker is now facing a
total of 20 criminal chargesfor 10 robberies and twothefts in Coquitlam and PortCoquitlam, six robberiesin Pitt Meadows and MapleRidge, and two robberies inBurnaby.Coquitlam RCMP arrested
him on Jan. 4 after he alleged-ly tried to steal a handful oflottery tickets from a liquorstore.Bakker was originally facing
three counts of robbery witha weapon and one count oftheft.“Robbery section investiga-
tors from Burnaby, Coquitlamand Ridge Meadows detach-ments seamlessly workedtogether on this investiga-tion, much like an integratedteam,” said RCMP Cpl. JamieChung in a statement.Bakker has been held in
custody since his arrest andis set to appear in a PortCoquitlam provincial court-room on Thursday.Investigators origin-
ally believed the suspectwas behind as many as eightconvenience store robberiesof scratch lotto tickets in theTri-Cities.The first robberies took
place during a two-week spanbetween Nov. 29 and Dec. 13.
Their titles as councillors, therapistsand event planners will be temporarilycast aside for one night, because comeSunday, it’s all about the diva.The third-annual Tri-Cities Oscar
Night gets underway at 4 p.m. inthe Coquitlam council chambers,and as in years past, the big show isbeing headed up by the “three divas”— Coquitlam Coun. Selina Robinson,Port Moody Coun. Diana Dilworth andevent planner Polly Krier.Now in its third year, the event
represents an opportunity to take in
the Academy Awards on a pair of bigscreens situated both in, and outside,council chambers.Though meant as a fundraiser for
organizations across the Tri-Cities, theevent also gives attendees a chanceto live the life of the beautiful people,even if for just one night — red car-pets, paparazzi and champagne are thenorm.“From the moment you get on that
red carpet and come to our event, thewhole point is to make everybody feellike they are a celebrity,” Dilworthsaid.The evening kicks off at 4 p.m. with
a red carpet drawn and local paparazzi— courtesy of CKPM radio — cover-
ing all aspects of the big-ticket arriv-als. The awards show begins at 5 p.m.“And it will start off with valet
parking — because you are special,”Robinson added.The three charities selected as
beneficiaries from the fundraiserare the Coquitlam Foundation, PortCoquitlam Foundation and PortMoody Foundation.In years past, charities included
the Crossroads Hospice Society,SHARE, the Society for CommunityDevelopment, the New View Society,KidSport Tri-Cities and the EagleRidge Hospital Foundation.“This year we decided that because
Port Coquitlam has a new foundation,
that we would do something totallydifferent,” Krier said. “The three foun-dations are a nice mix, because wehave three divas, three cities and threecharities.”And while the actors win on the
big screen, those in attendance willwin in person as well. Six major prizepacks, each named after movies thathave previously won Oscars, will bedoled out over the course of the even-ing. Everyone in attendance will begiven ballots asking them to predictaward winners, and as the winners areannounced, the ballots will be drawnand the prizes will be awarded.

There is no shortage ofhistory in Port Moody.Various heritage
homes dot the city’s land-scape, like the AlexanderHouse on Grant Street inMoody Centre.
Most residents nowadaysprobably don’t know thehouse was built back in theroaring 1920s by a futuremayor.
The house was originallylocated on St. Johns Street.A.H. Alexander was a mer-
chant in the early days of thecity and married his businesspartner’s wife, Ethel Bennett,after the partner died.The three had been in
the Yukon for the gold rushbefore settling in Port Moody.Eventually, Alexander
became an alderman for acouple of terms in the 1920s,before beingelected tothe top job asmayor for twoyears in 1930.The home
remains a slice ofPort Moody’s pastthat for one dayis on display tothe public.In an effort
to celebrate thecity’s centennial and HeritageWeek, the Port MoodyHeritage Society is offering aself-guided tour of nine localheritage sites for one day thisSunday (Feb. 24).Participants will be given a
map with the locations of theeight heritage homes and onebusiness on the tour.Costumed hosts will wel-
come guests and provideinformation about the archi-tecture and family history of
each house.Jim Millar, manager of the
Port Moody Station Museum,believes it’s important torecognize and celebrate theheritage of the community.“It’s important to know
where youcame fromand how thecommunity
developed,” hetold The NOW,adding many ofthe homes built at
the turn of the20th Centurywere moreof a workingclass nature to
reflect the town at the time.The society offered a similar
tour in 2004, with great suc-cess, so it was brought back tomark the city’s centennial.“People like to see inside
other people’s houses,” Millarsaid, noting there aren’t alot of heritage homes in thecity compared to other partsof Metro Vancouver like NewWestminster.“For the heritage house
tour, it’s interesting to see
what they’ve [the owners]done to the house.”The buildings on display
range in age from 1909 up tothe 1960s.Millar explained the theme
of this year’s heritage weekis neighbourhoods, so threehomes in the Glenayre andCollege Park areas built in the1960s have also been includ-ed. The tour also includes astop at the old Pleasantsidestore on Ioco Road.The society has decided to
release the addresses of thehomes on the tour Sundayonly to participants, citingprivacy concerns.Tickets for the tour, which
runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.,are $30.For more information
about the tour, check outportmoodymuseum.org or call604-939-1648.As for the Alexander House,
it was bought and moved twoyears ago to its current loca-tion on Grant Street by localbusinessman Fred Soofi.The house is currently in
the final stages of a renova-tion.

Police issue warning about theft from vehiclesAn increase in theft from
vehicles around the Tri-Citieshas prompted CoquitlamRCMP to issue a warning todrivers.Though police note the
number of reported stolenvehicles is drop-ping, that isn’tthe case when itcomes to theftfrom vehicles.So in an effort
to heighten aware-ness for AutoCrime Month, local Mountiesand volunteers at CommunityPolice Stations (CPS) will behanding out “crime preven-tion notices” when they seevaluables visible inside avehicle.“Most vehicle crimes are
crimes of opportunity andtherefore prevention is thekey,” said RCMP Cpl. JamieChung in a statement.“We have a group of dedi-
cated CPS volunteers patrol-ling and reporting suspiciousactivities.”Police have also offered
several theft prevention tips tovehicle owners:• Lock your vehicle and put
valuables out of sight, prefer-ably in the trunk, or bringthem into the house at night.• Don’t leave your gar-
age opener andvehicle registra-tion in yourvehicle. If thievestake those twoitems, they couldprobably breakinto your home.
• Thieves will break intoany vehicle if they think thereis something of value inside.Thieves know that briefcasesor backpacks may containwallets, identification, tabletsand other electronic devices.• After removing valuables
from view, lock your cardoors. This will discouragesome of the more casualthieves, the ones looking foreasy targets. It will also deterthose who would go into anunlocked car to look for atrunk or hood-release buttonin order to steal auto parts or
the contents of the trunk.• When parking at home,
always use your garage if youhave one, and lock both yourvehicle and your garage. Ifyou don’t have a garage orwhen parking at work or yourlocal mall, try to park in awell-lit, open place.• If you see something,
say something. Call 911 andstay on the line if you see orhear something that seemsunusual or suspicious.
Two men arrestedA pair of alleged Surrey
crooks is behind bars thanksto the work of the CoquitlamRCMP’s prolific offender team.On Feb. 6, the detachment’s
Prolific Target Team (PTT)caught a 51-year-old Surreyman in relation to an allegedstolen vehicle.David Edward Traill is now
facing a slew of criminal andmotor vehicle charges, includ-ing theft of a motor vehicle,possession of a stolen motorvehicle, carrying a concealedweapon, breach of an under-
taking condition and drivingwhile being suspended.A week later, the PTT
nabbed 25-year-old CoreyTodd Siebolts of Surrey withtwo outstanding arrest war-rants. Police note Sieboltsalso had numerous outstand-ing out-of-province arrestwarrants.In addition to his warrants,
Siebolts is facing a numberof charges, including eightcounts of possession of stolenor forged identification orcredit card, four counts ofbreach of a recognizance orundertaking condition, onecount of possession of stolenproperty and two counts ofidentity theft.Traill was in court on
Wednesday, while Siebolts isdue back in court on Monday.
Turn in your gunsWhile the U.S. might cor-
ner the market on guns inNorth America, there is stillno shortage of the weapons inthis province.So in June, the provincial
government, along with policedepartments across B.C., willbe offering a gun amnesty inan effort to collect unwantedand unauthorized guns fromthe public.According to a Ministry
of Justice press release, forthe entire month of June,people who want to surren-der ammunition or weapons,including imitations andreplicas, can contact theirlocal police and provide basicinformation on the items theywant to surrender.Police will visit homes
to pick up the firearms, so
residents should not bringguns or ammunition to policethemselves.The amnesty will not apply
to weapons or firearms usedfor a criminal purpose.The press release went on
to note that similar programsin 1997, 1998 and 2006 suc-cessfully removed thousandsof guns from B.C. streets.During the four-week prov-ince-wide gun amnesty in2006, B.C. residents turnedover 3,213 guns, including505 handguns, 96,500 roundsof ammunition, a rocketlauncher and a machine gun.

Business owner frustrated by bridge delays
While repairs to the BraidStreet bridge are expected towrap up today, the openingof the crossing couldn’t comesoon enough for BrigitteDunbar.The Coquitlam resident
operates Driving Miss DaisySeniors’Service, acompany thattaxis elderlycustomerswherever theyneed to go.And for one
of Dunbar’sclients, it’s atrip to RoyalColumbianHospital threetimes a weekfor dialysis.Though
traffic enter-ing New Westminster near thehospital has never been idealfor Dunbar, the closure ofthe wooden Bailey bridge twoweeks ago has only added toher headache.She said the bridge’s clos-
ure has been tough on herbusiness.Dunbar typically takes
Lougheed Highway to get intoNew West, but the increasedtraffic from the bridge closureis adding to her commute tothe hospital.She’s frustrated and wants
to see a long-term solutionin place for the Braid cross-ing to keep the flow of traffic
moving.“I just don’t understand
why New Westminster thinksthey can keep people out oftheir city,” Dunbar told TheNOW, going so far as to sug-gest the city wants to keep thebridge closed to prove a point.The single-lane Bailey
bridge that connects UnitedBoulevard in Coquitlamto Braid Street in New
Westminsterwas shutdown on Feb.10.According
to TheRecord news-paper, engin-eers whoinspect thebridge discov-ered a coupleof “fairlysignificantsplits” on twoof the trussmembers.
Repairs on the bridge beganthis week, with both munici-palities splitting the estimated$30,000 tab.But the recent closure of
the bridge has reopened anold debate between the twocities on what to do with thecrossing in the long term.Currently, the bridge sits
inside New Westminster’sboundaries and is maintainedby that city, but both munici-palities split the cost in half.The Bailey bridge was first putin place in 1995.Two years ago TransLink
and the City of NewWestminster rejected a United
Boulevard extension.New Westminster Mayor
Wayne Wright told TheRecord his city has no plansto reopen the debate aboutthe controversial extension.So with a permanent fix
for the bridge apparentlyyears away at best, the Cityof Coquitlam is proposing ashort- and mid-term solution.Coquitlam Mayor Richard
Stewart said the city has pro-posed to its counterpart inNew Westminster the instal-lation of a second single-laneor two-lane bridge at the loca-tion to open up the area totwo-way traffic.He estimated the second
bridge could cost a couple ofmillion dollars.And if cost is a problem for
New Westminster, Stewartsaid the City of Coquitlamwould be willing to pay forand maintain it in lieu ofmaintaining the currentstructure.The mayor argued the one-
lane bridge has never beengood enough and he hopesNew Westminster will agree.“This is a river crossing
that we both have to work ontogether,” Stewart said.Although New Westminster
rejected the United Boulevardextension, that city’s mayorsaid something needs to bedone to address traffic conges-tion near Braid and Brunette.Wright questioned whether
the City of New Westminstercould consider closing BraidStreet at Brunette Avenue,which would require vehiclesto access the industrial area
by going across the borderinto Coquitlam and using thenew King Edward overpass.“Maybe there’s a different
method, a way that we canmake the changes necessaryand not create the same traf-fic difficulties that are therenow,” he said.“I don’t know what that is
but we are going to be — weare actually going to be look-ing at all the new things wecan think of.”Wright said he hadn’t
talked to any councillors orcity staff about the idea ofrestricting traffic from access-
ing the industrial area viaBraid Street.“It creates what is supposed
to be there — that is an outletfor the industrial lands,” he
said.Wright said the city has
about 24 months to decidewhat do with the BaileyBridge.

Express hockey game offers cultural lessons
The Poirier Sport andLeisure Complex will playhost to a cultural melting pottonight, as east meets westagainst a backdrop of quintes-sential Canadiana.A multicultural celebration
centred around the LunarNew Year will take place attonight’s Coquitlam Expresscontest, and the event willfeature lion dances, Chinesecultural dances, Koreandrumming and Hapkido dem-onstrations.The point of the celebra-
tion is two-fold: to help newerCanadians, particularly thosefrom China and Korea, inte-grate into Canadian society,while giving others an oppor-tunity to immerse themselvesin Asian customs.That it’s all happening at a
hockey game is no accident,as the event carries on with apartnership developed threeyears ago between the Expressand the immigrant settlementgroup SUCCESS.“Hockey is almost like a
social skill,” said Alice Poon,a settlement officer withSUCCESS.“It is a workplace language
and you can start a conversa-tion with other people by
using hockey.”Conceived of in 2011, the
program is referred to asHockey 101 and has beenoffered a handful of timessince its inception.The learning process begins
with PowerPoint presenta-tions mixing simple Englishterminology with the mostbasic rules that govern thesport: the number of playerspermitted on the ice, what theblue and red lines representand the type of equipmentused.
From there, the studentshead to the rink to make avisual connection between theclassroom terms and the les-sons that play out on the ice.“They need to be coached
and they need to be told aboutwhat the sport is,” Poon said.“They won’t take the initia-
tive to find out because it is soforeign to them.”Outside of learning the ins
and outs of the game, partici-pants also work on practicalEnglish skills — a discussionabout what a puck is also
lends itself towards learningabout the word “rubber,” forexample.While previous instalments
of the classes have focusedon the game itself, the mostrecent lesson plans have alsotouched on the significance ofthe anthem being sung beforethe game, and what a 50/50
draw is.“The 50/50 draw really
comes from North Americanculture, but it’s not just forhockey: you can do it for com-munity events, fundraising forschool activities or at parties.A new immigrant wouldn’tknow that.” Poon said.“We focus ourselves on
hockey, but we also want totouch on these things becausethey are social norms and cul-tural norms that we want toincorporate into their learn-ing.”Tonight’s events kick off
at 6:30 p.m. with the variousdemonstrations, while thepuck drop is slated for 7 p.m.

Both parties face budget questions
With an election just a fewmonths away, it’s no surpriseopposing local MLAs have adifferent take on the provin-cial budget.On Tuesday, the finance
minister tabled a balancedbudget, but the oppositionNDP wasted no time in chal-lenging the numbers.“The clear message is the
Liberal budget is not a bal-anced budget, it is a deficitbudget in hiding,” said PortMoody-Coquitlam NDP MLAJoe Trasolini. The MLA hastaken issue with some of theprojections in the budget,including the selling of prov-incial assets worth hundredsof millions, and a drop in theannual increase in the health-care budget from five to sixper cent to less than three percent.Trasolini suggested the
government is overestimatingrevenues and voters won’t buyit when they head to the polls.“This is a budget that will
never see the light of day,”he said. But Trasolini’s party
is facing its own tough ques-tions, particularly what anNDP budget would look likeand whether it would run adeficit.He said his party is still
analyzing the numbers beforereleasing its own budget, butnoted the NDP believes in abalanced-budget approachover an economic cycle.Some of the details in the
provincial budget include aforecast surplus of $197 mil-lion for this year, an increasein income taxes on individualsearning more than $150,000,a one-per-cent corporateincome tax increase and a $2tax increase on a carton ofcigarettes.Coquitlam-Burke Mountain
Liberal MLA Doug Hornedefended the budget, callingit balanced “in every sense ofthe word.”He also criticized the
notion the government wastrying to balance the budgetby selling $625 million inassets, noting the propertiesaren’t long-term assets heldby the government.In one case, Horne noted
one of the properties was ear-marked for a new hospital inSurrey, but the decision wasmade to just expand the cur-rent hospital, freeing up theunused land for sale.“There’s really not a lot of
substance to the argument.It’s not as if we’ve takena whole bunch of histor-
ical assets of the province ofBritish Columbia and saidwe’re going to put themup for sale to balance thebudget,” he told The NOW.Horne also noted the
budget includes conservativeestimates on the prices of nat-ural gas and $200 million-plusin contingencies in each ofthe next three years to guardagainst revenue volatility.“It’s important to have fis-
cal discipline and that’s whatwe’ve tried to do,” he said,
adding he’s comfortable tak-ing the budget to the peoplein the upcoming election.Interestingly, both local
MLAs agree parts of thebudget appear to be right outof the NDP playbook, like theincrease in corporate taxesand taxes on high-incomeearners. Horne suggested thebudget has “taken the wind”out of the NDP’s sails, butTrasolini argued it validateswhat his party has been tout-ing for the last year.

A8 Friday, February 22, 2013 The NOW COQUITLAM, PORT COQUITLAM, PORT MOODY, ANMORE AND BELCARRA
So you want to be cool, eh? If you follow my sim-ple directions, then you will definitely be…Well you’ll be several minutes older that’s for
sure. This four-step plan will not help you becomethe sunglasses wearing, motorcycle driving, smoothtalking “cool” guy and it won’t magically turn youinto the most popular person in school either.So if that’s what you’re looking for
then stop reading this right now.Or keep reading.I’m not there to stop you.But if you still want to be my
definition of a “cool kid” then you maycontinue.What is my definition of a cool kid? I
guess you’ll have to keep reading to findout.Note: If you want to be cool in the
sense of temperature, I suggest somenice shorts or a portable fan, but that’snot what this is about.Alright, step one is to completely forget every-
thing you know about anybody at your school thatyou consider to be cool.By the way, do you know that one really cool girl
that ... no, you don’t.Forget them all. Create a clean slate to build your
own coolness off. Don’t try and copy what every-
one else is doing. Just because they wear expensivebrands or listen to a certain band, doesn’t mean youhave to too.Doing that would be like saying you want to be an
artist but all you do is copy everyone else’s artwork.That’s dumb and also plagiarism.Don’t do that, be original. If they coincident-
ally wear the same clothes or like yourfavourite singer, then good for them(because then they’d have somethingin common with you, the coolest kid inschool.)Step 2: Stop thinking so much.I mean, keep using your brain for aca-
demics but don’t think about the nega-tive and instead focus on the positive.If you think too much then your brain
will explode, that’s a scientific fact. I’mnot telling you to block out every singlenegative thing anyone ever says to you,
that’s also unhealthy, but instead filter the thoughts.If someone calls you ugly, then ignore it. Who
cares? Not you, the coolest kid.If someone calls you fat, ignore them too. Again,
who cares?But if someone who cares about you tells you that
you should start watching what you eat, then that’s adifferent story. Be aware of who is insulting you and
who is trying to help.Constructive criticism is always good until it gets
a bit more criticizing than constructive.Also, if you find yourself hanging around a lot of
these critics then get away from them.They are probably just jealous of how cool you are.Step 3: Really, stop thinking so much.To quote the wonderful Ellen Degeneres, “It’s
amazing how much time that we put thought intothinking about what other people are thinking aboutus, when everybody else is just thinking about whatwe’re thinking about them.”Basically, if you’re trying to be cool for someone
else, then you’re doing it all wrong.Be cool for you.If you’re cool with yourself, then you’re really the
coolest you can truly be.If you’ve followed these steps correctly, then con-
gratulations! You’re now the coolest kid in school!Go get a piece of paper and make yourself a
diploma or certificate or something and I will signyou off with the cool kid handshake.High five this newspaper right now.Oh right, Step 4: Don’t be a jerk.Be a nice happy person. Nobody likes a meanie.
Next stop: becoming the coolest of the cool
There are 7,000 people throughout the provincewho have an inherited risk of fainting or dying sud-denly from an abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia)— often this is only discovered through an event likefainting.However, research indicates that this
is just the tip of the iceberg — for everyperson identified with inherited arrhyth-mia, four or more family members mayunknowingly be at risk.The condition can be managed with
simple medical intervention, but whenleft unmonitored, it puts lives in danger.As the recently appointed Sauder Family and
Heart and Stroke Foundation chair in cardiology, weare assembling a team of experts to build a networkof clinics to discover those British Columbians atrisk, and provide them with protection.Despite all of our advances in prevention and
treatment of heart disease, several thousand peoplein British Columbia die suddenly every year.I feel this is a key challenge for my team to iden-
tify why this happens, who is at risk and how to pre-vent these tragedies.
I am proud to be able to pursue this work, thanksin part to the generous Heart and Stroke Foundationdonors.This February is Heart Month.When a Heart and Stroke Foundation canvasser
arrives at your door, please give gener-ously.Your support enables me and my fel-
low researchers to continue vital workthat will save lives here in B.C.Show your support for healthy lives,
free of heart disease and stroke atwww.heartandstroke.ca.Together, we can make health last.

Areport from the federal commis-sioner of the environment lastweek points out once more the dis-
turbing way Ottawa has failed to addresslegitimate concerns about B.C.’s pipelineproposals.It’s just the latest in a series of less-
than-reassuring developments.Last month, Kinder Morgan announced
that despite one set of figures used inpublic consultations last year, the com-pany actually wants to ship a lot moreoil — meaning more or bigger tankers inBurrard Inlet — or both.This week, federal commissioner Scott
Vaughan informs us federal regulators areill-prepared to address any kind of catas-trophic oil spill.In apparent confirmation of what activ-
ists have said, Vaughan points out in hisreport that rules and resources in placeto deal with any major oil spill are whollyinadequate.Among his findings: there is no formal
process for updating an assessment ofrisks, no recognition of a huge antici-pated increase in west coast tanker traf-fic and not enough money to handle thecosts of cleaning up spills.Any costs not covered would inevitably
fall to the public purse.Proponents of the projects, of course,
don’t expect to see any oil spills.But that is the nature of disaster prep-
aration — spending money and effort todeal with something we don’t expect tohappen.We don’t expect ships to sink either,
but we still have federally mandated safe-ty standards and lifeboats meant to carryall passengers on board — not just someof them.Ottawa’s insistence on seeing no evil
when it comes to environmental riskshould make us all very nervous.

Keep an eye onthe public purse
On Sunday, Feb. 17, JoeTrasolini was acclaimed theNDP candidate for Port Moody-Coquitlam for the upcomingprovincial election.I am relieved that we will have
an intelligent, hard working MLAto critique the budget introducedby the current government, revealits serious flaws, and hopefullyconvince the Liberals to makechanges prior to adoption.I am very concerned that the
province intends to sell off assetsto balance the budget.It is short-sighted and will
inevitably lead to future deficitsand create a drain on our socialfabric.Public facilities and lands are
essential for growingcommunities. We cannot turfthem for short term gain, espe-cially when British Columbia con-tinues to grow.Public land allows us to provide
the recreational and social facili-ties that promote healthy com-munities.The current government’s
approach is similar to the farmeroverspending on an unnecessaryglass roof for the hay barn andthen selling off the back forty topay off debts, leaving his childrenwithout an inheritance to main-tain the family farm.British Columbians should
speak out against this faulty
method of budget balancing.

Fare gates ensuretransit consistencyMost people who oppose the
upcoming SkyTrain fare gatesseem to have not realized that partof the reason that TransLink andthe Ministry of Transportationwant to introducefaregates is so thatintegration with theupcoming Compasstransit fare card can beachieved.The Compass Card
and the data it obtainsfrom its ability to track the begin-ning and end points of all transittrips will spawn huge improve-ments region-wide in transitservice optimization and cost-effi-ciency, and these are what is goingto offset the capital and annualcosts of the fare gates.Without the fare gates, there
would be no way to figure outwhat trips occur on SkyTrain andno way to optimize based on thosetrips.That would be counter-pro-
ductive, as SkyTrain is a part of somany transit trips in the region.The Compass Card concept is
the same concept that has alreadybeen introduced on the transitsystem in Montreal, and is usedworldwide in transit systems.
For example: in Tokyo, Japan, asingle money-containing fare cardwill grant you access to not justthe local metro, JR commuter railand local bus lines, but also vend-ing machines if you want a snackor a drink or whatever of the manyunique items dispensed throughvending machines in Japan.Once the Compass Card
becomes a part of our transit sys-tem, everyone’s going to have abetter experience on transit here
in Metro Vancouver.

What’s thereto hide?
Even though the provincial elec-tion is just three months away,NDP leader Adrian Dix still refusesto reveal the NDP’s election plat-form.Why?Is it so empty that he has to
hide it from public view for as longas he possibly can?I think the public deserves to
see what sort of plan Adrian Dixand the NDP have for this prov-ince.Voters should be able to evalu-
ate the NDP’s platform and weighit against the platforms, plans andvisions of other parties.Unfortunately, all Mr. Dix has
done so far is defend his secrecyaround the NDP platform byclaiming the B.C. Liberals never
revealed their plans this early onwhen they were in opposition dur-ing the 1990s.Well, I almost bought that argu-
ment from Mr. Dix until I checkedthe facts.Not surprisingly, the facts don’t
line up with Mr. Dix’s claim.In 1996, for instance, the B.C.
Liberals released their platformthree months before the election;and that was at a time when B.C.did not have a fixed election dateas we do now.And in 2000, the B.C. Liberals
released their platform more thana year before the election.These were documents that vot-
ers could read and study, evaluateand compare.How sad it is, then, that B.C.
voters still have absolutely nothingsolid from Mr. Dix this close to theelection.His platform and plans remain
a mystery.

Members of the Art Focus Artists’Association will highlight their par-ticipation in centennial celebrations in
PoCo starting this weekend, as they unveil amosaic spanning multiple members and gen-erations.PoCo Personal and
Inspirational: A CentenaryMosaic, includes two large pic-tures of Port Coquitlam’s flower,the azalea, painted by morethan 30 artists who each tookcare of one square foot of canvasspace. Each square is a compositionin and of itself, but will become apart of the whole picture comprisedof 20 squares when mountedtogether.“Mural Mosaic is a process
invented by Canadian artistLewis Lavoie, which takes individual paintingsby different artists and places them in a spe-cific order to create one large unified image,”Art Focus member Lindsay Watson said in ane-mail to The NOW.“A master image is chosen, which is then
divided into a numbered grid.Each artist is assigned a numbered sec-
tion, given basic colour guidelines and simpleshapes, but is free to create as they wish, aslong as their work fits within the theme of themural.”
An opening reception for the project isscheduled for Saturday, Feb. 23, from 2 to 4p.m. at the Gathering Place, and the show willbe on display until March 25.
Tri-Cities talentfeatured

is cast as Cinderella’s step-mother in the production, and is joined byother Tri-Cities natives, Kristina and SarahBadley, Julianna Douglas and Tessa Browning.Three shows are slated: Friday at 7:30 p.m,

the Port Moody Arts Centre’s new children’sgallery will be rolled out on Saturday, Feb. 23.The first showing features works from
Grade 5 students at AspenwoodElementary, who were guidedthrough the artistic process byShari Pratt, an artist in residence atthe centre.The new exhibit focuses on
portraiture, and the participatingstudents learned the ins and outsof that art through a series of workshops withPratt, who specializes in mixed-media, figura-tive acrylic paintings.Above and beyond this weekend’s debut, the
children’s gallery will host three other exhibitson a yearly basis.The format will be similar to that of the cur-
rent exhibit, in that students will attend a ser-ies of workshops before presenting their workto the public.The opening of the children’s gallery is
slated for 2 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 23 at thearts centre.

Incoherence rules in this filmSide Effects
Starring: Rooney Mara,Jude Law, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Channing Tatum
Directed by: StevenSoderbergh
Running time: 106 min-utes
Side Effects is the first filmwhere I have suddenly swungmy arms out hitting a friendseated next to me because ofa surprise plot twist. If AlfredHitchcock were alive, it wouldbe this kind of film he wouldbe making, only a lot better.Similar to Psycho, the firstact leads you astray with redherrings, and the second andthird act twist and turn beforefinally pulling the rug fromunderneath your feet. Frankly,by the end I was a little nau-seated by all the changes indirection. It reminded me ofbeing a passenger in a cardriven by my mother.Like my mother’s driving
the twists do come with aprice — in the end the viewerfeels as though the wholething has become a little bitridiculous. And in a film solelydriven by its narrative it isessential that the plot remainscoherent.
Alas, incoherence rules!The audience at numerouspoints in the film finds it hardto believe that the actions onthe screen would happen inreal life. The detective workof the psychiatrist (Jude Law)comes to con-clusions that tohim are facile tofind but are a bigstretch for theaudience. And, ofcourse, the releasefrom the psychi-atric ward so earlyseems to borderon fantasy ratherthan the realitythat the film isattempting to portray (pardonmy vague statements — inorder to discuss the film’sincoherence I would firstneed to spoil many shockingtwists).The realism that the film
strives for is to depict theconsequences of our society’sdependence on drugs. Thisportion of the film centreson Emily (Rooney Mara),the depressed wife of Martin(Channing Tatum) who hasbeen imprisoned for fouryears. As Martin is released,Emily struggles to get by; shetakes numerous drugs for herdepression. It is possibly thesedrugs that lead to her numer-ous failed suicide attemptsafter the release of Martin
from prison.“And now for something
completely different.”Surprisingly, I didn’t mindthe film’s decision to take a180-degree turn to becomea Hitchcockian thriller. This
section focuseson Emily’s psych-iatrist’s (JudeLaw’s) search forthe cause of whythe drugs are hav-ing such harshside effects onEmily, after a tra-gic incident. Onmany occasionshe visits her pre-vious psychiatrist
(Catherine Zeta-Jones) to seeif her past behaviour will giveany indication of what herfuture behaviour might be.If there’s anything I know
about Steven Soderbergh’spast behaviour, it’s that Icould predict that his newfilm Side Effects would notbe the greatest of movies.With a filmography featur-ing the remake of Solaris,The Informant, Contagionand Haywire, Soderbergh hasbeen making movies I detestfor a very long time. He hasannounced that Side Effectswill be his final film beforeretirement. I can’t say I’mreally sad to see him go.I must admit that at times
the tension of Soderbergh’s
film had me by the throat.Sadly, by the end it decided toslit it open and I’m not verypleased.

Garden
Get ready for some serious gardeningIn March, milder temper-
atures encourage garden-ers to plan new begin-
nings. It’s time to begin weed-ing and cleaning up gardenbeds and checking out gardencentres for ideas on filling anygaps left by fall cleanup andwinter storms.People with
containers inshady places stillhave time to startbegonia tubers.These are a multi-year investmentbecause theycan be lifted andstored every falland sprouted eachspring for severalyears — and every year thetubers get bigger and producemore and more flowers.Leaving seed heads in gar-
dens over winter to feed birdscan also be an investment innew plants when the seeds thebirds miss sprout in springor summer. This includesalyssum, calendulas, lunaria,poppies, lupins, columbines,Nigella and many others.
It’s well worth watchingout for these as you weed.Usually it’s best to keep someseedlings and remove othersbecause a thick mat of eventhe most valued varietiesresults in weak plants andsmall flowers.
During March, Hellebore
orientalis flowers are in theirfull glory but later, whentemperatures rise, it’s best tokeep a watch on their prettythree-pointed seed heads andcut them back before they dryout and dump masses of seed.Hellebore seedlings are deep-
rooted and hardto pull out.When snow-
drops ceaseflowering, theycan be dividedand started innew places.Anyone with aspecial variety ofsnowdrop whowants progenywith the same
characteristics should removeits seed heads and rely on thenatural splitting of the bulbs.That’s because snowdrops
are totally promiscuous.Gardeners with enquiringminds will find large groupsof diverse snowdrops canproduce fascinatingly differentbabies.In the food garden, the tim-
ing of planting vegetable seedsoutside depends very muchon any garden’s location, soiland microclimate becauseseed sprouting is triggered bytemperature.The sea tends to stabil-
ize temperatures in coastalgardens, which means thesegardeners can plant several
weeks earlier than people liv-ing further inland.
South slopes, sandy soiland excellent drainage all helpsoil to warm up fast in spring.Gardens close to the southside of homes are also warmand sheltered. But north-facing hillsides and moist claysoil are chillier locations thatneed later seed planting evenwhen the gardener uses raisedbeds.By the end of March, pars-
ley, Swiss chard, peas andpotatoes can be sown in mostplaces — and earlier in milderareas. But if you’re not surewhen to plant, later plant-ings get you into less troublebecause if cold makes earlyplanted seeds slow in ger-minating, they can’t protectthemselves. Voles love to eatpea seed, for instance.Gardeners with a sheltered
place to raise tomatoes andpeppers could start themaround the beginning ofMarch. But it’s easy to end upwith huge plants that are dif-ficult to keep inside but can’tyet be put outside.It’s the same story with
squash and zucchini. April is
a reasonable time for startinginside. Some gardeners prefermid-May for outside plant-ing where, provided you givethem slug protection, squashand zucchini grow withoutcheck.Throughout the garden, the
best guarantee of a relaxingsummer is to pull weeds whilethey’re still small. Mulchingis also a huge help, althoughsome gardeners avoid mulch-ing places where treasuredplants might have droppedseed.

Is your child stubborn?Having a stubborn child can be a real
challenge. How can you ever get her tochange her mind?
The good news is that she will not be acompliant teen. She will do what she believesis right and not follow the crowd. Think of hernot as stubborn but as persistent. Now, youhave a child who sticks to her guns and willwork on something until she is successful. Youhave changed this maddening characteristicinto something positive.But, you still need to handle it
with her.I believe that offering kids
choices is always a good idea. Itgives them a sense of control andautonomy because you have offeredthe choices and whichever theyselect will be acceptable to you.
With stubborn kids it is particu-larly effective. When you give thema choice to make, taking a standand saying, “no way” just isn’t oneof their available choices. So instead of tellingher to take out the garbage, you offer a choice.“The garbage needs to be put out. Do you wantto do it now or after dinner?”Involve her in making decisions. Ask her
opinion so she can feel some ownership ofthe plan. Soccer season is coming up so askher what she thinks might be the best way toorganize all the soccer gear.Stubborn kids (oops, persistent) are often
adamant about what is right and what is wrongand once they have taken a stand they will notbudge. Their world is black or white, right orwrong, fair or unfair. There is no middle way.Getting into an argument with them is simplya waste of time and energy.
Instead, listen carefully, ask them why theybelieve what they do and accept their explana-tions respectfully. Then you can tell them
what you believe and why. So you will agree todisagree.However, this is where you need to use a
“however” statement. “I know you believe thatkids should not need to do homework, howeverit is your reality and you need to get to it.”Family rules are very important with these
kids. The clearer the rules, the less space thereis for argument.Keep the rules simple and post them in a
public space in the house. Whenthe boundaries are clear and sheknows exactly what is expected ofher she’ll be less likely to questiondaily expectations.In the same way, precise rou-
tines are a good idea. You can lether help with the decisions aboutthe routines and present somechoices. But once that has hap-pened, expect that she will followthe family expectations. When theexpectations are a habit, you get
fewer arguments.When you ask her to do something, make it
abundantly clear. When we use phrases suchas, “why don’t you,” “would you like to” or“don’t you think it’s time to,” you are askingfor an argument.Instead, say, “It’s now time to get ready for
bed. Please get your pyjamas on now.”When you have a persistent child, likely
one of her parents is the same way. One setof grandparents is quietly smiling to them-selves watching their son or daughter have todeal with the same stubborn behaviours theyhandled when their child was young. If that’sthe case, talk to the grandparents about theirexperiences raising a stubborn child. They mayhave some great tips for you or at the veryleast the reassurance that the child (who maybe you) turned out just fine.
If your child isstubborn — orpersistent, ifyou prefer— give him orher choices.Dreamstime

Check your tire pressureDear Tom and Ray:I took my 2002 Infiniti I35
to a shop to have the rotorsand brake pads replaced onthe front. While in the shop,the mechanic told me thatI would need new struts inthe future. When I left theshop, my car wasbouncing all overthe place. I wasdriving on a pavedroad, and I wasactually bouncingoff the seat. WhenI took it back tothe shop, I wastold that whenthey had put thecar on the lift,air got into thestruts because there were tinyholes in them. The mechanictold me it would go back tonormal in a few weeks …as soon as all the excess airleaked out of the struts. It hasbeen three weeks, and my carstill feels like I am constantlydriving over railroad tracks.Is his explanation plausible?
— Patricia
RAY: No. He made that up,Patricia.
TOM: Changing the rotorsand pads shouldn’t have had
any effect on the ride, so Idon’t know what they did toyour car to make it ride soroughly — but I have a coupleof suspicions.
RAY: The most likely cause,in our experience, is that theyinflated your tires, or over-
inflated them.TOM: If, before
the repair, youhad been drivingaround with tiresthat were low onair, that couldhave covered upthe poor rideyou’d get frombad shocks.
RAY: Andthen, once they
properly inflated your tires,you felt the full effect of yourworn-out shocks — in whichthe springs are undamped andthe car kind of rides like abasketball down the road.
TOM: Of course, it’s notsafe to drive with underinflat-ed tires (or worn-out shocks),so you can’t just let some airout of the tires and keep driv-ing.
RAY: But they also couldhave grossly overinflated yourtires. If they weren’t payingattention, or had a tire gauge
that was faulty, they couldhave put 60 or 80 pounds ofair in your tires. And thatcertainly would cause you tobounce off the seat.
TOM: One other possibil-ity is that they’re actually badguys and they sabotaged yourshocks in hopes of gettingmore repair work from you.But I’m going to discount thatpossibility.
RAY: Me too. In our manyyears of experience, we’vefound that most repairmistakes flow from grossincompetence rather thanoutright dishonesty. Doesn’tthat make you feel better?
TOM: So I’m guessing theyoverinflated your tires by acci-dent. Have someone check thepressure for you, and if thepressure is correct, then gosomewhere else for a secondopinion about the shocks.Good luck, Patricia.

Don’t change your vehicle’s oil unnecessarilyWhen it comes to taking
care of their vehicles, manymotorists prefer to be overlycautious. While that’s notnecessarily a bad thing, thereare times when being toocautious can unnecessarilycost you money. Motor oil,and when to change that oil,has long been a point of con-tention. Many drivers grewup being told that motor oilshould be changed every 3,000miles (4,800 km). However,that myth has been debunkedfor many of today’s vehicles,which should come withsuggested intervals betweenoil changes. According toEdmunds.com, in 2010 theaverage interval for oil chan-ges was 7,800 miles (12,553km). In addition to changing acar’s motor oil less frequently,there are other things driversshould know about motor oil.• Oil does not necessarily
need to be changed before along trip. Taking a trip? Whileit’s good to have your carexamined before embarking, ifthe recommended oil changeinterval is not up, then youdo not need to preemptivelychange your oil. Such achange is likely unnecessaryand will not improve the per-formance of your vehicle dur-ing the trip.• Black oil does not neces-
sitate a change. Conventionalwisdom once suggested if theoil on the dipstick is blackthen it needs to be changed.But nowadays automotiveprofessionals are noting thatblack oil is doing its job anddifferent additives mightbe changing the oil’s color,which means the oil doesn’tneed to be changed.• You can use petroleum-
based oil after using synthetic.Another long-standing mythregarding motor oil was thatonce you use a syntheticmotor oil instead of a petrol-eum-based oil you have tocontinue using synthetic oil,which is often more expensivethan more traditional motoroil, in order to avoid harm-ing the vehicle. However,automotive professionals havenoted that these two types ofoils are now often blended,meaning switching back andforth from one to the other isnot likely to cause any dam-age to your vehicle. Just besure to use motor oil thatmeets the standards set forthin your vehicle’s owner’smanual.• Consider an earlier oil
change after buying a newvehicle. Sometimes a newvehicle will need an oilchange after its first 3,000miles. However, this doesnot mean your vehicle willneed one every 3,000 miles.According to BlackstoneLaboratories, which studiesmotor oil, oil samples takenfrom engines during theirinitial 3,000 miles of drivinghad elevated metal levels fromthe camshafts and pistons.
These elevated levels will notnecessarily be harmful, butsome auto manufacturers
recommend a shorter initialinterval just to be safe. Honda,however, includes an anti-
wear additive in their break-inoil and advises against chan-ging their oil early. Consult
your owner’s manual to deter-mine if it’s best to changeyour oil after the initial 3,000
miles or to let it go until therecommended interval.

Hyundai Genesis Coupeoffers value to buyersWhy do we like rear-wheel-drive cars?
Driving enthusiasts might say it’sbecause of their inherent balance. The
front wheels of front-drive cars are taxed withadded responsibility to both accelerate andsteer the vehicle, while all-wheel-drive can addweight and mechanical complexity. On a philo-sophical level, there’s just something morepure and true to form in a rear-drive vehicle.But unfortunately, numerous factors favourthe more common front-wheel-drive cars sothe rear-wheel-drive cars are rarer than ever.Luckily for us, several manu-
facturers have recently prevailedagainst the odds to provide us withsome genuine rear-drive sportscars, with starting prices aroundthe $25,000 mark. The HyundaiGenesis Coupe is one of those cars.The updated 2013 model flaunts afresh new look, a ton more power,and it still has a very attractiveprice tag.While the Genesis Coupe has
done plenty to increase the per-formance image of the Hyundai brand, it’spositioned in the middle of the sports coupesegment. It doesn’t offer the retro styling andtradition of “pony” cars like the Camaro orMustang, nor does it possess the lightweightfun factor from new arrivals such as theScion FR-S or Subaru BRZ. So what does theHyundai Genesis Coupe offer that other carsdon’t? In one word, value.
PerformanceFor 2013, the 3.8-litre V6 has been updated
with direct injection, providing 42 more horse-power, for a total of 348-hp, and 29 more foot-pounds of torque, to 295 ft-lbs. The 2.0-litrefour cylinder receives a new twin-scroll turbo-charger and a larger, more thermally efficientintercooler. The result of this colder and dens-er air is a 30-per-cent increase in horsepowerand a 23-per-cent increase in torque for a totalof 274-hp and 275 ft-lbs of torque.Off the line, you can easily feel the additional
torque but there’s still plenty of grip for a goodlaunch. The new V6 will comfortably propelthe Genesis Coupe from zero to 100km/h inthe lower five second range on its way to animpressive 240km/h electronically limited topspeed. The standard six-speed transmission hadto be tweaked to provide more feel and, indeed,it is very precise. A new eight-speed automaticis available to those who prefer to just enjoythe car without worrying about shifting.The brakes certainly live up to the sporty
style of the Genesis Coupe, as it boasts a shortstopping distance. Through the corners, itfeels well balanced with a front end that staysplanted at all times. There are new dampers
and the steering has been recalibrated too.Response is about the same as with the previ-ous generation, but you do notice some addi-tional feedback and a little more connectivityoverall. There’s enough torque to push the rearout a bit with timely throttle inputs, and asbefore, R-Spec models get front strut camberadjustment bolts.
EnvironmentOn the street, this regenerated Genesis
Coupe offers enough entertainment to makeit one of the most fun-to-drivecars in this price range. The rea-sonably spacious cabin rides ona comparatively long wheelbase,which is conducive to a suppleride. The rear seats are still toosmall for adults but the rear boastsa relatively large cargo room.What about the car’s sound? Thisis a sports car, and Hyundai hastuned the exhaust so that you getthe growl you want but not much
drone at highway speeds. With downshifts, younotice a nice “burble” when you match revs.Overall, regardless of which model of
Genesis Coupe you drive, it’s a nice placeto spend time in and out of, on the city orhighway. The layout is clear and everything iswithin reach.New for this year, and standard on all trim
levels, is a centre stack multi-gauge clusterthat houses three analog dials. They give read-outs of instantaneous litres-per-100km, torquelevel (3.8 models) or boost pressure (2.0T mod-els) and oil temperature.With the 2013 Genesis Coupe, Hyundai
looked at what was available in this marketsegment, made improvements where neces-sary, listened to their customers, and delivereda product that should be more than competi-tive.
FeaturesWith all of the great updates for 2013, the
base Genesis Coupe 2.0T starts at $26,499 andthe 3.8 GT model begins at $36,999.Standard equipment includes ABS with
EBD, ESC with TCS, keyless entry with alarm,Bluetooth with steering wheel controls andautomatic climate control.Additional features, available as options or
on higher trims, include push-button start,touch-screen navigation system, heated frontseats, power driver seat, Brembo brake packageand a Torsen limited slip-differential.Fuel efficiency numbers for the 2.0T manual
are 10.0L/100km city, 6.6L/100km highway, for8.5L/100km combined. Ratings for the 3.8 GTare 11.0L/100km city, 7.3L/100km highway,and 9.6L/100km combined.

Deep roots at vineyardIt is not too often you can trace the lineage
of an Okanagan winery to the late 1800s.However, Sperling Vineyards can trace
its history back to that time, when GiovanniCasorzo emigrated from Italy and was con-vinced by the founder of B.C. wines, FatherPandosy, to try his hand at agriculture in theOkanagan Valley.The farm flourished and by 1925, the first
vineyards were planted. The grapeswere mainly sold off to other win-eries but in 2008 Ann Sperling,a direct descendant of Giovanni,founded Sperling Vineyards. Shewas lucky to inherit vineyards thatcontain 45-year-old Foch vinesand 35-year-old Reisling vines thatproduce outstanding fruit. She alsoadded Pinot Noir and Chardonnayvines in 2008.Ann Sperling has more than 20
years experience in winemaking— or wine growing, as she likes to describe it— in Ontario and British Columbia. She hasa passion for organic and biodynamic grapegrowing and is totally focused on the vineyardas the source of top quality wines. Her 1992Merlot won a medal in every competition thewine was entered in, including gold medals.A talented wine maker, she won the 2004Winemaker of the Year Award for Ontario.I recently had the honour of having Ann
drop by our wine club to discuss and taste thelatest releases from Sperling.Here are some tasting notes from that meet-
ing:The Sterling Pinot Gris 2011 is crafted
from old vines. Due to crop thinning to 1.75tons per acre, this wine shows intense appleand orchard fruit along with hints of mineral-ity, honey and citrus notes. On the palate,
concentrated flavours and a creamy long finishdue to lees (fermentation) contact add thiscreamy mouth feel.The Riesling Old Vines 2010 is a hedonist’s
dream, wafting aromas of floral, petrol andcitrus with tell-tale signs of slate and mineral.Off-dry balancing the crisp acidity perfectly,this long-finish wine is an outstanding exampleof a well-crafted wine.
An absolute must white for thissummer is the Market White 2011.Priced around $15, this blend of 60per cent Bacchus and 40 per centPinot Blanc is an off-dry delightfeaturing apple, pear, peach andfloral scents. Easy drinking andsuper refreshing, the wine clubbought cases and cases of this wineit was so good.The ancient Foch vines found at
the Sperling Vineyards producedan outstanding 2009 Foch. This
little-known grape can make an excellent wineif it is ripened properly. Black fruit, cassis andwisps of smoke dominate this wine. Some spiceemerges on the finish due to this wine beingoaked in new French and American oak.I believe we are all in good hands with wine
makers like Ann Sperling; her knowledge andcare for crafting these Earth-friendly wines isimpressive. It takes a lot of hard work to groworganic and biodynamic vines, but the payoffis that we will all enjoy wines from these vine-yards for as long as we show stewardship andcare for our planet.

Roughly half of all homes havehardwood flooring, and industryprofessionals suspect more andmore homeowners are lookingto hardwood flooring for theirhomes.
When surveyed, 90 per centof real estate agents have saidthat hardwood flooring is adesirable feature in a home.Those agents also say a propertywith hardwood flooring sellsfaster than one with carpeting oranother flooring option.
With hardwood flooring soprevalent in homes, protectingthose beautiful wood floors is amajor priority for homeowners.Caring for hardwood floorsonly takes some common
sense precautions and minimalmaintenance. Today’s hardwoodfloors are often produced withdurable sealants that protectthe wood underneath or arecomprised of composite orreclaimed wood products. Butthat doesn’t mean precautionsshould be taken to further protectagainst potential damage to theflooring.
◗ Place area rugs or mats at thedoorways entering the home.This way sand, dirt and otherdebris can be wiped off at theentryway and not carried ontothe wood flooring where it cancause abrasions over time.
◗ Pay careful attention to whichtypes of shoes are worn on the
floors. High heels or cleats candamage the wood. Removingshoes prior to walking on thefloor is a safer bet.
◗ Choose the right type of cleanerfor the floor. Do not assume justbecause a particular cleaner isadequate for wood cabinetry orfurniture that it is also fine forwood flooring. Check the label.
◗ Use area rugs and carpetrunners on areas of the floorthat tend to be high-trafficareas. This will prevent theseareas from being worn downunevenly from other areas ofthe floor.
◗ Do not allow water or otherliquids to stand on the floor fora long duration. This can cause
degradation of the wood andstaining.
◗ Use felt or plastic protectors onthe“feet”of dining room chairsor other furniture to prevent
against scuffing or scratches.
Wood flooring can be anexpensive addition to any home,but one that is sought after forits esthetic appeal. To ensure a
floor remains in good conditionover the long haul, take action toprotect hardwood floors as soonas possible.

SFU basketball’s double danger on the court
Nayo Raincock-Ekunwe started her university career atSimon Fraser with an all-rookie nomination and a CISnational championship title.
Now a senior, the 6-2 former Toronto forward wants to book-end her career with the best the NCAA Division II can offer.“To go to the national championships, it would show the SFU
program is one of the top programs in the nation. It would behuge,” said Raincock-Ekunwe, who currently leads the GreatNorthwest Athletic Conference in field goal percentage andrebounds per game.That opportunity will come later when March Madness takes
centre court in the conference playdowns.But before that, Raincock-Ekunwe and fellow fourth-year
teammates Carla Wyman and Kristina Collins will be honouredat Seniors’ Night at the West Gym on Saturday night.While some outgoing seniors find playing their last home
game a sad affair, Raincock-Ekunwe said she plans to focus onthe conference game ahead of her.“We’ve never beaten Northwest Nazarene in three seasons.
It’s a good opportunity,” she said.The game will also be a further opportunity for Raincock-
Ekunwe to leave an even larger legacy as one of the all-timegreat players to play on Burnaby Mountain.Last week, Raincock-Ekunwe moved into elite company in
NCAA Div. II, registering her 55th double-double in the GreatNorthwest conference.Although unofficial because of the Clan’s then-provisional
status, Raincock-Ekunwe’s career numbers are currently fifth-best all-time.She set a new conference record for double-doubles in her
first year in the NCAA and broke her own mark the followingyear with 24 doubles, earning a second consecutive first teamall-star nod.This season, she broke the conference record with her 49th
double, scoring 11 points and grabbing 15 rebounds againstAlaska Anchorage on Jan. 5.Earlier in the season, she also set the conference single-game
rebound record with 24 boards.Her 941 career rebounds to date is fourth best in the confer-
ence all-time.Raincock-Ekunwe also has top-10 all-time numbers in total
field goals, blocked shots and offensive rebounds.“Rebounding has been my game,” said Raincock-Ekunwe.
“I just try to go to the boards every game and get as many as Ican.”The two-time Basketball B.C. outstanding university player of
the year says she never expected to reach the heights she has.“In my first year, I didn’t think I would be that good. I got
beaten up in practice pretty good,” she said.But SFU head coach Bruce Langford says, “she didn’t have a
choice.”With three outgoing seniors graduating following the
Canadian collegiate title and Raincock-Ekunwe fourth onthe depth chart, the former B.C. high school AA MVP fromKalamalka High School was thrust into a starting spot.“I thought she was going to be that kind of athlete, for sure.
But things came too easy (for her) as a high school player. Shestruggled in her first year ... She’s improved her intensity andfocus,” said Langford.Raincock-Ekunwe currently leads the nation in field goal
shooting and is second in total rebounds. The Clan is also thirdoverall in the NCAA in field-goal shooting percentage as a team.But with four conference games still left on the schedule
before playoffs, Saturday’s matchup with third-place NorthwestNazarene is a crucial test of the Clan’s mettle, said Langford.Earning the program’s first-ever berth into a NCAA national
tournament remains the team’s ultimate goal.
“It would be deserving for the kids,” said Langford, “and ashame if we didn’t reach our potential.”For Raincock-Ekunwe, the difference might just come down
to her new-found intensity.“I’ll remember most going down to the States and showing
the Americans that Canadian girls can play,” she said.“It’s always a good feeling when we beat the Americans.”
Ron Hole/Burnaby NOW
Simon Fraser University’s Nayo Raincock-Ekunwe leads the nation in field goal shooting, and unofficially sits fifthall-time in the NCAA Div. 2 with 55 career double-doubles.
Raincock-Ekunwe will likely go down as one of the all-time SFU greats

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Feb. 24 - Mar. 2, 2013★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Aries March 21 - April 19: Rest, lie low, dealwith head office, government agencies, institutions,charitable and spiritual organizations. Start no newprojects nor relationships before March 17. Instead,reprise (or fix) the old, or stick with the ongoing.Sunday’s filled with beauty and pleasant notions,but your advances might be playfully steered aside.Tackle overdue work Monday/Tuesday. Relationshipsprove important midweek – a great conversation (ornews article) and a spiritual awakening or dreamystate occur. Seek changes, health diagnosis, realisticinvestments and/or intimacy Friday/Saturday.
Taurus April 20-May 20: Your popularity grows.Optimism, wish fulfillment, light romance andentertainment increase this week and the next few.Old friends return, old wishes are granted, and formerflirty, light romantic contacts reappear. New friendsand new projects, if started now to March 16, willtend to twirl brightly for awhile, then fizzle. Sunday’sfor home, garden, rest, and rejuvenation. Romancecalls Monday/Tuesday – your creative, speculativeand expressive skills rise up. Tackle familiar choresmidweek. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em Friday/Saturday – great things come from partnering!
Gemini May 21-June 20: Start no new projects,ventures or relationships before March 17. Untilthen, protect ongoing projects, especially in careerand dealings with authorities. They, and bosses,and parents, are gripped by indecision until then.Be ambitious (not ambiguous). Shore up yourposition, secure recent advances, Monday/Tuesday– or rest and nurture family, for they are the supportfor your ambitions. Earlier, Sunday’s for short trips,friends and curiosity. Romance and creativity lureyou Wednesday/Thursday: but they conflict withyour need to grow. You get a lot of work doneFriday/Saturday.
Cancer June 21-July 22: Chase money, buy/sell Sunday – garage sales intrigue. (Don’t buyanything big and important.) Short trips, details,communications and paperwork fill Monday/Tuesday(avoid government forms). Focus on home, kids,real estate, security and nutrition midweek. Friday/Saturday hold romantic/creative success– which fitssuperbly into February/March’s broad cycle of love,cultural rituals, far travel, wisdom and higher learning.You could fall in love! But remember: start nothing,project nor relationship, before March 17. The bestromance is ongoing, or is embodied in an old flame.
Leo July 23-Aug. 22: You’ve entered the realmof mystery, lust, health diagnosis and hidden powerplays. Something might return from the past in thisarena – perhaps a former sexy playmate, perhapsa chance to live a lifestyle you once hungeredfor, perhaps a former investment opportunity. DOresearch, ask questions, follow the mystery, and dealwith ongoing situations/people or those returningfrom the past. DON’T start a new relationship,project, investment or venture. All this, to March 17.You’re the subtle star Sunday. Chase money Monday/Tuesday. Paperwork, errands midweek. Home, familyFriday on.
Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: DON’T start new projectsor relationships before March 17. Stick with theongoing, and situations that return from the past– including a possible return of a former partner orsomeone you wished was. However, this few-weekinterval seems designed more to make you ponderthe big picture of relationships, than to re-instate anold one permanently. It’s as if you’re on a bridge toa very different land of love, and are stalled: not toturn you back, but to make you think. Lie low Sunday.Tackle everything with confidence Monday/Tuesday.Money, midweek. Casual friends late week.
Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Much work faces you, buttackle only routine, ongoing or formerly neglectedchores before March 17. DON’T start big newprojects, employ new staff, nor buy machinery, tools,computers – lemons abound. A former job might beoffered. If you’re seeking employment, canvas formerbosses. Sunday’s bright, hopeful, happy. Retreat andrest Monday/Tuesday -- government-related tasksgo well. (Though they, too, face delay.) Your energyand pizzazz return strongly midweek, but luck (inlove, learning, law and travel) mixes with domesticproblems. Your money luck soars Friday/Saturday.
Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: This week goes frombetter to best! (But don’t be tempted to start a newproject or relationship before March 17.) Sunday’sfor ambition and community reputation: elevateyours by joining, helping. Optimism, popularity, wishfulfillment and general delight fill Monday/Tuesday:an old flame or flirty friend could reappear . You’re ona month-long winning streak of romance, creativity,sports or pleasure. You can renew contacts on manylevels, including business. Retreat midweek to restand contemplate. Your energy and charisma soarFriday/Saturday – you’ll succeed, attract love.
Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Don’t start newprojects or relationships before March 17, Sage,especially in family, domestic, nutrition, real estate,retirement or security zones. (E.g., you could findnew renovations have left no room for the basementstairs.) Stick to ongoing projects, or situationsfrom the past. Clear away neglected home-relatedchores. Sunday’s mellow, thoughtful, cultural.Show your ambition Monday/Tuesday (but startnothing new!). Happiness, optimism and friendsfill midweek. Success assured with institutions,government, meditation, rest, health and researchFriday/Saturday.
Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Start nothing newbefore March 17, Cap, especially in mail, computer,telephony, office systems, stationery, or travel. Don’tbuy a car or any equipment. You might rediscovera lost book, letter, photo – or an entire “lostacquaintance.” (Don’t invest too heavily in the last.)Sunday’s secrets will open, if you diplomaticallypush. A mellow, understanding mood flows overyou Monday/Tuesday – love (or the hope of love) ispossible! Be ambitious midweek, display your skills:luck accompanies you. Social delights, popularity,light romance succeed splendidly Friday/Saturday.
Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Money’s just anabstract way to mete out power, security, position,food, shelter, clothing, medical, dental...and mostlove is entwined with these. So chase money nowto March 19, Aquarius. You won’t be neglectinglove, but supporting it. But don’t start a new projector venture. Stick with ongoing dollar situations, orreprise those from the past. (E.g., sell an old article,or seek a job where you worked before.) Sunday’smade exciting by a sensual person. Sex, secrets andfinances, Monday/Tuesday. Understanding, mellowlove midweek. Ambition, career Friday/Saturday.
Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Your energy, luck andcharisma remain high, Pisces. Remember, startnothing before March 17. Until then, you’ll remainindecisive about goals, partnerships, opportunities,relocation, and love. Stick with ongoing projects,or reprise old ones – avoid the new. Everything’ssmooth this week. Chores call Sunday. Relationships,opportunities and goals arise Monday/Tuesday –though excitement occurs, remember: no new links orprojects. Life’s mysteries emerge midweek, but holdfew rewards if you solve them. Friday/Saturday bringgentle love, intellectual venues and superb luck.
