Processis worsethan coalburning

Burnaby’s waste-to-energy incinera-tor should not be expanded as it createsa demand for more waste and emits asubstantial amount of greenhouse gases,according to a new study.

Closing the Loop: ReducingGreenhouse Emissions Through ZeroWaste in B.C. is a new study from theCanadian Centre for Policy Alternativesand the Wilderness Committee, whichcame out last week.

The closed-loop model takes a zero-waste management approach whereproducts, such as appliances, are repairedand reused for as long as possible. Thenthe items are broken down into parts tobe used in new products, or recycled.

Currently, Metro Vancouver inciner-ates its waste in Burnaby. The studystates it is not only an environmentalconcern, but in many cases is also a socialone – as low-income households live inclose proximity to the incinerators, “withadverse impacts on health.”

“Incineration has appeal among poli-cymakers because it gives the percep-tion of making waste disappear, and canproduce heat and electricity for other

Donations: Jack Gin, left, is putting out a call to Burnaby residents to donate whatever they can to help pay for a newgastroscope. Here Gin gets a quick lesson from nurse Peter Reimer in how the device works.

Jack Gin has a challenge for youWhen Terry Fox embarked on his

Marathon of Hope to run across Canadain support of cancer research, he askedevery Canadian to donate just one dollartowards the cause. In 1980, that wouldhave meant about $25 million.

In the same vein, though on a muchsmaller scale, a Burnaby entrepreneur isputting out a call to residents of this city todonate what they can for the purchase of amuch-needed piece of medical equipmentat Burnaby Hospital.

Jack Gin, an entrepreneur and profes-sional engineer, has a goal of raising the

$20,000 that would pay for a new gastro-scope, a surgical device that allows doctorsto put a fibre-optic camera into a patient’sdigestive tract.

The device is both a preventative tool,allowing for minimally-invasive diagnostics, aswell as an administrativetool, used to administermedication and place feed-ing tubes. Gin will match,dollar-for-dollar, whatever donations aremade, up to $10,000, to pay for the device.

“Hospitals are supposed to be paid forby the government. Well, the reality is, thegovernment isn’t able to afford to pay foreverything,” he said. “The biggest expense

is paying for the people there, and clearly,we have to pay our doctors and nurses.And when the doctors and nurses ask forspecial equipment and the hospitals can’tafford all of it, it’s nice if citizens can con-

tribute to part of it.”Cheryl Carline,

president and CEO ofthe Burnaby HospitalFoundation, said the foun-dation is grateful for the

Gin family’s donation.“By bringing this new gastroscope to

the hospital and matching every dollardonated up to $10,000, they are creat-ing a sense of community and helping

Local streamkeeper Paul Cipywnyk israising concerns about fisheries manage-ment and habitat protection, following amulti-million dollar cut to Fisheries andOceans Canada (DFO) in the federal bud-get.

TheMarchbudgetannouncementinclud-ed a cut to DFO of $108 million by 2017/18

through finding“internal depart-mental efficien-cies,” somethingthat worriesCipywnyk.

“Mymaincon-cern is DFO hasalready under-gone serious cuts– loss of funding,loss of staff par-ticularly – whenit comes to habi-tat protection,”he told the NOW.“Habitat officeshave been closed

in B.C., habitat officers have lost their jobs,and I notice it’s a huge concern in the com-munity across the province.”

Cipywnyk, a longtime volunteer withthe Byrne Creek Streamkeepers, also sits onthe salmon enhancement habitat advisoryboard, a group of volunteers from acrossthe province that provide advice to the pro-vincial and federal government on protect-ing fish habitat and salmon stocks.

“That’s a common thing we are hear-ing from stewardship groups everywhere:There’s no more habitat officers. If you havea problem, there’s no one to even talk toanymore,” he said. “If a company bulldozesa stream, there are no officers to come out tolook at it much less impose a fine or regula-tion or anything.”

The federal budget also included a planto provide funding for fisheries conserva-tion projects: $10 million for local groups,$4 million to Fisheriesand Oceans Canada andEnvironment Canada formarine projects, and anincrease (from roughly$300,000 per year to $1million) for the Pacific Salmon Foundation.Cipywnyk lauded the financial boost forthe foundation but raised concerns thatthe government is downloading work ontovolunteers.

“Even if that’s accompanied with fund-ing, the other issue is as stewards, as vol-unteers, we have no enforcement powers.

We have no authority. Soif the government thinksit can cut fisheries officers,habitat officers, and havevolunteers replace thatand throw them a little

funding now and then, I don’t think that’sgoing to work because we are not the guyswho carry guns, and arrest people and finethem,” he said. “I think the government isreally abdicating its responsibilities in that

sense.”According to the two main unions that

represent DFO workers, roughly 1,134 oftheir members who work in fisheries havereceived layoff notices, but it’s not clearhow many have been and will actually belaid off.

Instead, Cipywnyk would like fundingfor habitat protection restored.

“There’s a lot of talk about sustainabilityand preserving things for future genera-tions, and on and on, but if there’s no habi-tat, there’s going to be no fish,” he said.

Gin: Entrepreneur helps others through foundationthousands of patients each year,”she wrote in an email to theNOW.

The hospital has a “wish list”of items needed, compiled by themedical staff who work there.

From this list, Gin choseto help fund the gastroscopebecause of his interest and back-ground in cameras and surveil-lance technology.

He founded a company calledExtreme CCTV in Burnaby that

produces active-infrared night-vision-surveillance equipment.

In 2008, he sold the companyto a corporation in Germany andput a “substantial portion” ofthe sale towards the Gin FamilyFoundation.

Through his foundation, hesearches out causes to donate toboth locally and internationally,in areas related to women, chil-dren, education and health.

“My family foundation isabout contributing to the com-munity as close as our hospi-

tal and as far away as Ndola,Zambia,” he said.

A few years ago, The JackGin Family Foundation helpedbuild a boarding school for HIVaffected orphans in Zambia, andtwo years ago helped pay for thereplacement of the school’s play-ing field.

As a long-time resident ofBurnaby, Gin said it is importantto him to support his local com-munity.

Gin said he recognizes thereare many causes Burnaby resi-

dents may be interested in sup-porting, but believes the localhospital should be near the topof their priority list.

“Every hospital has to raisemoney,” he said. “And here’sthe thing with hospitals in B.C.:most of the money goes to theChildren’s Hospital because …the community takes care ofchildren. Well, what about oldpeople? Our own hospital needssupport, too. In terms of whichis the rock star hospital to giveto, this is not it. But if you live

in Burnaby, why don’t you givea little bit to your own hospital,too?”

Donations to the BurnabyHospital Foundation can be madeonline at http://bit.ly/14trUZcor mailed to Burnaby HospitalFoundation, 3935 Kincaid Street,Burnaby, B.C., V5G 2X6, witha note indicating the donationis for the purchase of a gastro-scope.

economic uses,” the report states. “Thisview is deceptive: incineration may welldestroy recognizable items, but not theirmaterial basis.”

Waste never truly disappears, butturns into a new form such as ash, gas,heavy metals and toxic compounds frombeing burned.

B.C.’s major incinerator inBurnaby processes approxi-mately 280,000 tonnes ofwaste every year and officialgas emissions in 2010 was atotal of about 84,000 tonnes ofcarbon dioxide.

“While Metro Vancouverhas been actively promot-ing the idea of zero waste …its recently approved SolidWaste Management Plan putshigh priority on new incinera-tion capacity on the groundsthat it diverts material wastefrom landfills and can gen-erate electricity,” the reportstates.

Metro Vancouver’s pro-posed waste-to-energy facilityis still in its planning stages,but is projected to handle upto 370,000 tonnes of waste per year.

“This would more than double inciner-ation emissions,” the report states. “Overtime, this investment could underminezero-waste goals, as waste will be neededas a feedstock to power the facility forseveral decades.”

The report also points out that if therewas a decrease in waste flow, whichwould normally be positive, it could leadto energy shortages.

The dependence on burning waste tocreate energy generates higher green-house gas emissions than burning naturalgas, according to the report, and close tothat of burning coal, “the dirtiest of fossilfuels.”

“However, if all emissions (includ-

ing combustion of organic materials) arecounted, incineration is worse than anyfossil fuel generation, including coal,”states the report.

Another key concern with new incin-erators is how they divert resources, suchas funding and staff time, from otherwiseseeking out alternative waste reductionactivities.

“This significant opportunity cost isoften ignored,” the reportadds.

The study’s recommenda-tions include the integrationof greenhouse gas emissionsinto waste management plan-ning, not expanding incinera-tion capacity, requiring prov-ince-wide composting, phas-ing out single-use productsand packaging, and banningor tightly regulating toxic ornon-recyclable materials.

Marc Lee, the lead authorof the study, estimates thatB.C. could reduce emissionsby five million tonnes, if itswitches to a more aggressivereduction and recycling sys-tem by 2020.

“Zero waste means that weproactively reduce the vol-

ume of materials entering the economyin the first place, while supporting a highquality of life for consumers,” Lee states.“A good model is beer bottles, whichare reused about 15 times before theyare recycled due to deposit-and-returnsystems.”

The report was primarily funded by theSocial Sciences and Humanities ResearchCouncil of Canada, with support fromVancity, the Vancouver Foundation andthe Pacific Institute on Climate Solutions.

It is part of the Climate Justice Project,which is a partnership between theUniversity of British Columbia and theCanadian Centre for Policy Alternatives.

In the 2009 B.C. election, just51 per cent of eligible vot-ers bothered to cast a ballot.

Some 1.65 million ballots werecast, 120,000 fewer than in 2005,according to Elections B.C, when58 per cent of eligible votersmade their mark.

That’s 100-per-cent apathetic.

To think that thepenalties for not completing themuch-lamented, long-form cen-sus were a maximum a $500 fineand three months in jail, or both,and there’s no requirement, letalone penalty, for not showingup at the polls, is, well, short ofnonsensical.

I would hope that voting forwho governs us is more import-ant than a head count, althoughby the anguish every time you’dthink that civilization as weknow it was doomed withoutthe mandatory, long-from cen-sus.

But look, we’re still here!More than 20 countries have

some form of compulsory-turn-out voting system, which means,by law, that you have to turn upat the polls come voting day.

Mind you, that doesn’t meanyou have to vote; you can spoilyour ballot, mark none of theabove or write in your own can-didate, but you do have to makean appearance at the pollingstation.

Australia has such a system,which stipulates that barringsickness or being incapable,

all citizens over 18, except ofunsound mind or convicted ofserious crimes, must be regis-tered to vote and turn up at thepolls on election day, subject tofines if they don’t have a validexcuse.

Before the Aussie lawcame into force nation-wide in 1924, voterturnout was as low as

47 per cent. Voter turnout nowhovers between 94 and 97 percent.

In the 2011 federal electionin Canada, the voter-turnoutnumbers weren’t much betterthan B.C.’s provincially in 2009– about 61 per cent of eligiblevoters cast a ballot. By compari-son, 80 per cent voted federallyin Canada in 1962.

The municipal turnout? Youdon’t even want to go there.

In Vancouver, for example,in 2011, voter turnout was about35 per cent. It begs the question:Does anyone actually have amandate to run the city?

So the solution is obvious,one would think, just enact asimilar, compulsory-turnoutsystem in this country, with allits voting requirements and pen-alties.

This would make all the dif-ference, because, as National Postcolumnist George Jonas has said,“In the last 45 years, the onlyquestion has been whether thegovernment implementing

Oversight needed for carbon neutral programCarbon offsets could be a good idea, so long as programs are monitored by those outside carbon-trading system

Using financial incentives to forcepeople to “do the right thing” isn’t abad idea in theory.

One sure way to motivate action isthrough the wallet. If youhave to pay for your badbehaviour, your behaviourwill usually change soonerthan later.

That theory has much to do withthe province’s carbon neutral program,brought in at a time before economic

woes overshadowed the fate of theearth on most political agendas.

The idea of carbon offsets isn’t bad– money charged for environmentally

bad behaviour goes to pay forprojects that will counteractthose deeds.

But in a blistering reportreleased last week, B.C.’s auditor gener-al John Doyle questioned whether twomajor projects funded by the province’scarbon offsets did much to save the

planet.He concluded that both the Encanna

gas-drilling project and Darkwoodsforestry project would have gone aheadregardless of offset funding and thattheir environmental worth was overval-ued.

These are serious criticisms becausewithout that legitimacy, the wholecarbon offset process runs the risk ofbecoming a kind of shell game of trad-ing in shady environmental derivatives.

Both the government and the PacificCarbon Trust have rejected Doyle’s con-clusions, saying he’s not enough of anexpert to assess the projects.

But even in a complex area, the waysuch projects are assessed and fundedshouldn’t be above oversight and expla-nation – even to non-experts.

At the very least, Doyle’s report sig-nals a need for more robust transpar-ency and oversight – by someone whois not part of the carbon-trading system.

Housing is desperately neededDear Editor:

Re: Land sale: It’s Corrigan versus Coleman,Burnaby NOW, March 29.

The 19,000-square-foot lot at the corner of 18thAvenue and Sixth Street represents a viable opportu-nity for affordable housing in Burnaby.

While it is reported that Minister Rich Colemanand Mayor Derek Corrigan have opposing views onthe history and negotiations regarding this site, bothhave also publicly acknowledged the need for afford-able housing in Burnaby.

There are far too many Burnaby people livingin extreme poverty, including families and seniors.Most have great difficulty finding an affordable place

to live.The Burnaby Task Force On Homelessness rec-

ognizes the need for collaborative efforts and sharedresponsibility from the city, the province and thefederal government to ensure the success for creatingand maintaining affordable housing.

The Burnaby Task Force On Homelessness bringsconsiderable expertise in this area and is committedto working with all three levels of government toestablish affordable and transitional housing.

The Burnaby Task Force On Homelessness encour-ages Mayor Corrigan and Minister Coleman to worktogether to create the housing which is so desperatelyneeded by Burnaby citizens.

the NDP’s policies will beLiberal or Conservative.”

Great line, Mr. Jonas,but, unfortunately, oh sotrue. Big government ishere to stay.

But not so fast, cyn-ical citizen. I have a betteridea.

An election lottery – orlotteries.

Federally, for instance,when you cast a ballotyou’d automatically beentered in the “Votto.”

First prize would be$5 million tax free, eitherin Canadian currency,U.S. coin or gold bullion,

whichever is worth moreat the time.

It costs taxpayers about$290 million for eachfederal election. I bet wecould do a little trimminghere and there to come upwith the first prize.

Provincially, same deal,but maybe $3 million,or something like that,depending on whetheryou’re a have- or have-not province, I suppose.(Quebec’s could be freedaycare or free tuition or apasta menu in Italian).

Think about it!Canadians would look for-ward to voting again.

The world wouldnotice: “Just look at whatthose crazy Canadians aredoing, Heinrich.

“Let’s visit Canada,sounds like an avant-gardeplace.” (English translationfrom German.)

And it would be fun.After all, elections in

Canada are kind of like alottery now, although noone wins.

And the best part isthat with $5 million, if youdidn’t like who won, youcould leave – for Australia.

Seniors not gov’t priorityDear Editor:

Re: Project for seniors in trouble, BurnabyNOW, March 20.

Your story points to significant prob-lems with the priorities of the current gov-ernment.

While the Liberals spend millions oftaxpayer dollars on partisan ads, crucialservices such as the Seniors Active in Livinghealth program are facing cutbacks.

I recently visited the program atConfederation Seniors Centre and I wasvery impressed. There must have been 50people or more – learning how to boosttheir immune systems, having their bloodpressures monitored, doing chair exercises,receiving massages and foot care by quali-fied volunteers.

As the title of the program suggests,these activities are designed to enhance thequality of life for seniors and keep them liv-ing independently longer.

The program has existed for 21 yearsbut is now in jeopardy because of financialconstraints imposed by the provincial gov-ernment.

To me, this doesn’t make sense. Thevalue of a community-based program thathelps seniors take responsibility for theirown health and takes the pressure off ofthe more expensive acute care system isself-evident.

This is why we need a new governmentwith better priorities. We need a govern-ment that will invest in our seniors insteadof spending millions on self-serving ads.

Janet Routledge, NDP candidate, Burnaby North

Maintain mining tax creditDear Editor:

I would like to suggest something for thevoters of B.C. to consider when decidingwho to vote for in May: The current govern-

ment has established a 20 per cent refund-able mining exploration tax credit, which,for pine beetle affected lands, increases to30 per cent. This tax credit runs through toJan. 17, 2017 and it has already resulted inthe best few years ever for investment inmineral exploration in B.C.

Not only has this tax credit resulted inexploration jobs for British Columbians, ithas also resulted in increased business formotels, local airlines, community restau-rants and a host of other small businessesthat rely on mining exploration activity.

So, what happens if all of this comes toan end after May 14?

We can choose to maintain a strong min-ing exploration climate by voting for a gov-ernment that supports the socio-economicwell being and economic stability of ourcommunities, or we can turn the clock backto a time when exploration investment, andthe jobs it supports, went elsewhere.

For me, it’s not a very hard choice tomake and I know which one I will be mak-ing in May. How about you?

Randy Rinaldo, Burnaby

Premium collection costlyDear Editor:

Forty million dollars a year is what itcosts the B.C. government to collect MedicalServices Plan premiums from us all. Thisexpense is unnecessary. MSP should not bea separate tax, but be included in the incometax system as it is in other provinces.

During the last 12 years of B.C. Liberalgovernments, this wasted money amountsto half a billion dollars.

This is about the same as the moneywasted by the previous NDP governmenton fast ferries. The difference is that thiswaste by the Liberals has been deliberate.

Let us hope that the next B.C. govern-ment gets rid of this waste.

SFU students try to break dance recordExam time is always

stressful. To break freeof the pressure of study-ing and to try to set a newworld record, hundreds ofstudents at Simon FraserUniversity will be cuttinga rug this weekend to thepopular song Good Feelin’,by Flo Rida, in a mass cho-reographed dance routine.

The Crush Exam Stressand Just Dance event at SFUis being organized in part-nership by campus dance

club YOURS Dance, andUbisoft, producer of theXbox game Just Dance.

According to AnthonyLam of YOURS Dance crew,the event needs to includemore than 800 people par-ticipating in the same danceat the same time in anenclosed space.

“It’s (also) just to gath-er the community and getpeople excited just beforeexams, so that students cankind of relax just prior to

the stress of exams,” saidLam.

Seven other universitiesacross Canada are also par-ticipating. The school withthe largest turnout wins a$2,500 cheque from Ubisoft,to be donated to a charity ofthe students’ choice.

The event starts at noonSaturday with a dance les-son, with the challengerunning from 2 to 3 p.m.Members of the pub-lic are invited to join in.

The Burnaby NOW’s Marelle Reidrecently chatted with singer NdidiOnukwulu about her career and her

upcoming performance at this summer’sBurnaby Blues and Roots Festival.

Q: Where are youfrom?

A: I was born inNew Westminsterand I grew up in thenorth and then inthe Interior beforecoming back to theLower Mainlandwhere I was in myteens.

Q: What prompted your move to Paris?A: That’s just where I am because that’s

where I work the most. I mean, I just thinkyou need to go where you have the mostgigs, and I happened to have the mostgigs in France, Germany, Switzerland andBelgium right now.

Q: How did you get your start in music?A: I was 19 and I was living with two

good friends who would do talent nightsand I didn’t necessarily have a talent, perse, so … I decided to sing for them, andthey went, ‘Oh, you should maybe con-sider doing this,’ and I sort of went, ‘Well,OK, why not? Let’s do this’ and I movedto New York and started trying to makemusic. … When I decide that this is whatI’m going to do, I’m the kind of personthat commits to it a hundred and 10 mil-lion per cent. So, I thought to myself, ifI’m going to be a musician, if I’m goingto be an artist, then I’m going to go some-where where I think it’s very, very difficultand I’m going to see how far I can go. Imoved to New York, and I had managers,and things happened for me there, butthey weren’t the right things. I was beingpushed into an R&B sort of predictableworld for somebody that looks like me,and I didn’t want that so I stopped andI ended up partying pretty hard. Then afriend of mine said, ‘Let’s go to Toronto,’and I went there and that’s actually whereI started really making music. I was in thisrock band, and then I was in a hip hopband and an electronic band called StopDie Resuscitate, and it was during thatprocess that I started writing and I endedup making my first record.

Q: Would you describe yourself as a bluessinger?

A: No. There was a time when I wouldhave, but now I no longer would. … Aperson I work with described me as anearth singer. I guess it’s rootsy, but there’salso pop in what I do and elements ofdifferent types of music, but they’re alldifferent music that are very rooted in theground. So it would be like if you took abit of Tom Waits and Radiohead and thensome sort of Shirley Bassey, Etta James andthere we go, all very earth-based. I mean,music in general is earth-based – but theiractual notation and their sonic value, theirwaveform is very rooted and moves peo-ple in a particular way and that’s where Ising from.

Q: Can you describe your performance

style?A: I throw down. That’s what I do. I

make jokes, generally, and then I sing real-ly sad songs. And then sometimes I kick ina beat while singing really sad songs anddance. I hope that when I’m dancing andtransferring that energy, people will getinto it and they usually do, though some-times they just stare, like, ‘Look at thatlady. That’s great, but you’re crazy.’

Q: What’s the difference between audienceshere and in Europe?

A: Oh, it’s kind of the same. People arepeople. As long as you’re singing froma place of truth, and as long as you’re agood performer, everyone has a goodtime. You never can tell. Some people like

to just sit back and absorb, and that’s cool.Other people like to participate, and that’scool. When I go up there I sort of look atthe stage as my home and I’ve invited allthese people over for dinner. So I’m like,‘Whatever you want to do. Here’s thefood, eat how you want, pick what youwant.’

Q: What can your Burnaby audience expectthis summer?

A: I think when they come to the showthey’ll hear some things that might reso-nate with them in a way that maybe hasn’tin a little while, and we’ll have a lot of fun.Either way, it’s all about fun with thesemusicians and some good singing, so I’mpretty excited.

Dozen bands set to perform on three stages at Blues Fest

Ndidi O. brings her own tone to fest‘ … IF YOU TOOK A BIT OF TOM WAITS AND RADIOHEAD AND THEN SOME SORT OF SHIRLEY BASSEY ...’

Local talent: Ndidi Onukwulu, who was born in New Westminster but now lives in Paris,returns to the Lower Mainland to play the Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival on Aug. 10. Itwill be her first time playing the festival.

Safe, stable sedan best option for teen driver

If there’s one thing I canreally take pride in, it’sdriving well.“Well,” by my stan-

dards, means that you’reaware of what’s going onaround you, you’re obey-ing the law and playingit safe … and that you’requick about it. Prettyplease on the last item onmy list, OK?

I don’t know about you,but it’s so difficult to beon the road surroundedby slow, often inconsider-ate and sometimes evenclueless drivers (shouldn’tthere be signs on their carsto that effect?).

Yes, anyone who knows

me knows that I’m speedy,but my dad taught me thatdriving isn’t just aboutgoing fast, which is ironicconsidering he’s a talentedand gifted race car driver.

No, it’s about payingattention to what othersare doing, safely manoeu-vering and being defensiveby keeping your eyeballseverywhere at once.

While snaking throughdaily Los Angeles,California traffic, I do mybest with this philosophy,but the stress has a way ofamplifying my pet peeves.

Here are the few thatreeeeaally get my hornhonking and my coolantboiling. See if you don’tagree.

Probably the most com-mon move that we can allrelate to is made by thedriver who feels the needto putt along at 10 kilo-metres per hour less thanthe posted speed limitwhile rudely or absent-mindedly loitering in the

passing lane. Yes, it’s thepassing lane, not the rudelane.

Driving so slowly as toimpede the regular flow oftraffic is an offense worthyof a big fat ticket with abig fat fine because it’sunsafe.

Although it would benice if the highway patrolspent a little more timeissuing citations to thesefolks (as much as they goafter the speed demons)it would be much moreproductive if drivers couldactually police themselves,perhaps with a little incen-tive.

How about the threat ofa huge fine … say $10,000for loitering in the passinglane?

Absurd, for sure, but Idoubt anyone would everdo it again. “Keep rightexcept to pass,” is themotto.

Now, on the flip side,there are drivers who treata public road like a race-

track.They’ve got the pedal

to the metal, practicallykissing your rear bumper,with the high-beam lightsflashing, even if you’redriving the speed limit oreven slightly over.

This situation, unfold-ing in your rear-view mir-ror, is startling, unneces-sary and is just as danger-ous as driving too slowly(although it doesn’t holdup traffic for kilometres.)

Race-driver wannabes(better known as road bul-lies), be patient – I knowthat sounds like a bit ofa stretch – and save theaggression and showinessfor somewhere other thanthe road.

Now, ridiculous trafficis pretty much synonym-ous with Los Angeles.Unless it’s Sunday at 6a.m., it normally takesabout an hour to go just afew kilometres. If it’s rain-ing, don’t plan on gettingthere at all.

I’ve also experiencedgridlocked traffic inChicago, Illinois; Miami,Florida; and Minneapolis,Minnesota.

Big cities have so muchappeal (which is whypeople live in them), yettraffic is one of their big-gest downfalls.

To get anywhere inL.A., we have to takeadvantage of every oppor-tunity to manoeuverthrough traffic.

Knowing this, I can’tcount the number of timesI’ve sat behind sleepydrivers waiting to turn lefteven when there’s a hugegap in oncoming traffic.

I’m sorry, but if thathappens and I’m waitingbehind, the driver gets myhorn.

Dude, quit day-dream-ing and brush up on yourmotor skills to help saveeveryone else behind youa little time … that addsup to a lot of time at theend of the day.

Changing gears andgetting out from behindthe wheel, I just might bethe world’s most annoyingback-seat driver.

Sorry guys, I can’t helpit.

As a passenger, myultimate pet peeve is thedriver who jabs the throt-tle and jumps on the brakeevery few seconds. Insteadof fluctuating between 70and 100 kmh, how aboutdriving 85?

This saves gas, givesthe right foot a whole lotof rest and keeps the lastmeal where it belongs(inside).

I could go on all dayabout my pet drivingpeeves, but they’re prob-ably the same as yours.

FULL THROTTLECourtney Hansen

Dear Tom and Ray:I’m turning 16, and I’m

looking at buying a 1998 JeepWrangler Sport.

Do you think this is agood car for me? A safe car?

I know it’s in good shape.

It has only 20,000 miles onit, and it has a brand-newtransmission. It has a soft topand a hard top.

I’ll base my decision onwhat you guys say, so youropinion would really help me.

– AlecTOM: It’s not a good carfor you BECAUSE, in ouropinion, it’s not a particu-larly safe car.RAY: It’s got a shortwheelbase, so it bouncesall over the road.

It’s got an ancient typeof suspension system, soit’s like driving a basket-

ball. It’s top-heavy, hasflimsy doors, has no sta-bility control and has anold-style four-wheel-drivesystem that can contrib-ute to a rollover if usedincorrectly.TOM: This car – in ouropinion – basically givesa 16-year-old male driverevery tool he needs to flipover on a highway, rolldown a ravine and end upoperating his motorizedwheelchair with his lipsfor the rest of his life.

But other than that,it’s a great idea, Alec.

RAY: I’m sure we’re dis-appointing you terribly,because we do under-stand the appeal of theJeep Wrangler. It screams“adventure.”TOM: Which is appropri-ate, because driving thisthing IS an adventure!RAY: Well, we do under-stand why that appeals toyou, Alec.

The primary concernof every 16-year-old boyis getting dates, so you’reobviously convinced thatthis adventurous enhance-ment to your image will

help you in that arena.TOM: But don’t be sosure. My brother alwayshad cool cars, and henever got any dates.

The girls just askedto borrow his car everyFriday and Saturday night.RAY: So if you were myson, I’d much rather seeyou in something moreboring and safer: a sedanwith a normal centre ofgravity, stability controland side and curtain airbags, if possible.TOM: Not to mentionsomething that didn’t need

a new transmission at20,000 miles!RAY: I know it’s hard foryou to believe, but girlsdon’t care nearly as muchabout cars as guys do.

You’d be much betteroff with a clean, modestcar, and a warm, friendlysmile.TOM: A FenderStratocaster that you couldplay like Jimi Hendrixwouldn’t hurt either. Goodluck, Alec.

Water those veggies

Question:I have a small area for a

vegetable garden. Last year,my garlic grew nicely but Iwould also like to squeeze intomato plants and pole beans.But last year my tomatoeswere stunted and dried out.Was it because I had themnext to the garlic?

– Heidi Naman, emailAnswer:

No, it isn’t due to thegarlic. I suspect your toma-toes didn’t get enoughwater last year. It was avery long, dry hot sum-mer. Tomatoes and polebeans need lots of water attheir roots.

But by July garlic needsdry conditions. That’swhen garlic leaves start toyellow and wither. This isa sign the garlic bulbs aregetting ready to be har-vested.

If garlic is wateredwhen it’s ripening yourcrop can develop rot.

This means that justbased on water require-ments, tomatoes and polebeans aren’t good compan-ions for garlic.

I wonder if you couldplace your tomatoes at oneend of the garlic rows andpole beans at the other.This would work if youplant from north to southbecause the pole beanscould be put at the northend and the tomatoes at

the south end.By the time the tomato

plants get big, sunlightwon’t be such a crucialfactor for the garlic andin any case the sun is sohigh in the sky at that timeof year that most areas ofvegetable gardens get sununless very tall plants areplaced to thesouth.

As well,you couldseparate thewateringrequirementsby raisingpart of yourveggie bed sothat the garliccould be bet-ter drainedwhile nearbycrops arebeing wat-ered.

If this isjust a hill (not a wooden-edge raised bed) you couldrotate crops by relocatingthe hill every spring.Question:

What is the best type ofmanure to use for potatoes,tomatoes or root vegetables?

– Gerry, emailAnswer:

The most importantthing is that manure isold and thoroughly com-posted. One year is usuallyenough for it to mellow.Two years is safer.

It’s also vital to be verycautious with high-nitro-gen manure around rootvegetables unless youwant small roots withextravagant foliage. Leafycrops do well with high-nitrogen feeding.

Many gardeners infarming areas wheremanure is free routinely

use old manure in vege-table gardens.

Horse manure is verygentle but higher in nitro-gen and potash than phos-phorous. It usually hasmore weed seed than othermanures.

Sheep and llamamanure has a similar bal-

ance of ingredi-ents. This is a‘hot’ manurewhich burnsroots if notthoroughly com-posted.

Another ‘hot’manure comesfrom chickenand turkeys andcontains highphosphorousand nitrogen butlow potash.

Steer manureis very balancedand can be used

without getting an over-dose of nitrogen. It’s agood all-purpose manurefor almost anything.

So is pig manure: nutri-tionally balanced and verylight. Unfortunately pigmanure is hard to find.

Mushroom manure isgenerally good for vege-table gardens (though notfor potatoes and otheracid-soil lovers). It’s quitealkaline – occasionallyvery alkaline – but forveggie gardens that growmoss in winter it’s a goodcorrective.

So, Gerry, my vote is forsteer or pig manure sincethese are nutritionally bal-anced and can be used formany types of vegetables.

30 Lake wins 7th straight 30 Co-pitcher of the week 30 Too little, too late

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

A goalscorer’s final shot at goalComing to a winning

program was easy – butbecoming one of LimestoneCollege’s all-time best fieldlacrosse players took alittle more effort for boxproduct Riley Loewen.

The 6-1 Burnabylefthander becameLimestone’s all-time goalscoring leader last weekwith 162 career tallies fol-lowing three markers in a12-6 victory over QueensUniversity of Charlottein an NCAA Division IIConference Carolinasmatchup at home inGaffney, South Carolinaon March 30.

Not bad for a youngman who had just oneseason in the field gameunder his belt before mak-ing his freshman debut atLimestone in 2010.

“I’m still learning everyday, even though I’m asenior,” Loewen told theNOW in a long-distancecall on Tuesday.

Loewen earned a schol-arship to Limestone on arecommendation by for-mer Limestone Saints mid-fielder Jackson Decker,who played with theBurnaby sniper on thejunior A Lakers box teamat the time.

It was a gamble thatpaid off in dividendsfor the two-time NCAAnational champions.

Loewen is a two-timesecond team All-Americanand all-conference scholarathlete at the small privatecollege. He currently holdsfive other all-time pro-

gram records at Limestoneand shares in another fivecareer and single-seasonmarks.

Loewen’s 231 totalpoints are currently thirdbest all-time, but with atleast four more games stillto play, he is within shoot-ing range of Limestonealumnus Nick Carlson,whose 159 goals he sur-passed last week to setthe program’s new goalrecord.

Carlson, also a leftyand a product of the WestCoast, currently plays proin the National LacrosseLeague with Colorado.

But Loewen has yet toaccomplish what Carlsonwon – a national title. TheNanaimo product sharedin both of Limestone’s twonational banners in 2000and ’02. Loewen went tohis first national champion-ship game last season withLimestone but the Saints

lost 11-10 to Dowling in anunforgettable final.

“I want to win a cham-pionship with this team,but it’s nice to be in therecord book,” admittedLoewen. “I remember (thenational final) more thanany other game. Thingshappened that didn’t hap-pen at any other time ofthe season. It wasn’t reallyour day.”

Loewen started in 11 ofLimestone’s 13 games as a

freshman. The followingyear, he potted 54 goals upfront – the sixth most inprogram history.

This season, Loewencurrently leads the Conference Carolinas with32 goals and is second intotal points with 52.

Loewen is currentlyfourth in the nation with4.73 points per game andfifth in the NCAA with

Chile ready for Provincial Cup soccer draw

Estrella de Chile qualified bothits premier and under-21 men’ssoccer teams in the Provincial Cupdraw held Tuesday in Victoria.

Chile’s presence in its firstfull season in Vancouver MetroSoccer League’s premier divisionwas meteoric, taking the league bystorm, while winning seven of itsfirst eight matches against the bestthe league had to offer.

“We weren’t just winning,we were dominating,” said headcoach and club president ClaudioRamirez. “There was a percep-tion out there like, ‘Where did wecome from?’”

The answer to that questionwas a simple one for Ramirez.

“We never stop,” he said.Estrella de Chile club teams

contest local leagues all year long,including summer and multicul-tural leagues, as well as the LowerMainland metro league.

Last season, Chile just missedpromotion to the premier, los-ing out by a single point due tochanges in division alignmentsmade last year.

But that extra year in Division1 helped the team perfect itshigh-tempo possession-style ofgame for the season at hand, saidRamirez.

“We really lucked out,”Ramirez said. “We don’t play thelong ball. We just don’t. I’d ratherlose pretty than win ugly. We’revery different.”

The Burnaby-based club is

bolstered by former VancouverWhitecaps defender NarcisseTchoumi, who played profes-sionally in Japan and represent-ed Cameroon at the 2002 WorldCup.

Chile was also fortunate tosign former Kenyan league playerHabil Otieno, who led the squadwith nine goals in the regularseason.

Admir Salihovic and BrianDottin, two local former BurnabySelect products, also provided thefirepower up front with eight andseven goals, respectively, this sea-son.

After four seasons in Div. 1,Chile’s strong opening startcalmed somewhat in the winterschedule with just one win andtwo draws in its next seven starts.

At the restart, Chile did betterbut finished the regular seasonon even terms, with a record of 2-2-3 to finish its first season in thepremier league in fifth place witha 10-7-5 record, just two pointsout of third spot and behind clubheavyweights Columbus, WestVan FC, Surrey United Firefightersand ICST Pegasus.

“What happened was teamsadjusted properly in the secondround. I believe teams were hang-ing back, and we had to adjust,and it cost us some points,” saidRamirez.

But Estrella de Chile has madethose tactical adjustments anda recent 2-2 draw in a friendlyagainst Surrey United, a good

Simon Fraser Univer-sity’s Nayo Raincock-Ekunwe was named to athird NCAA Division IIAll-American women’sbasketball team.

Raincock-Ekunwe wasnamed to the NCAA Div.II Bulletin second team,after also earning a spoton the Women’s BasketballCoaches Association teamand the Daktronics secondteams.

Raincock-Ekunwe wasthe only Great NorthwestAthletic Conference playernamed to one of the fourBulletin teams.

This past season,Raincock-Ekunwe waspart of a Clan team thatmade it to the Sweet 16 atthe NCAA Div. II nationalchampionship tourament,finishing second in thewest region and second inthe conference.

R a i n c o c k - E k u n w eaveraged 16.8 points pergame and 12.4 reboundsper game this season, andposted the highest shootingpercentage in the nation inDiv. II with a 0.653 scoringpercentage.

The award comes at theconclusion of an impres-sive collegiate basketballcareer at SFU for Raincock-Ekunwe, who helpedthe Clan to a CanadianInteruniversity Sportnational title in her fresh-man season.

WhileRaincock-Ekunweplayed only three seasonsin the Great Northwestconference, she was stillable to break 12 conferencerecords, including the con-ference career double-dou-bles record of 48, earning atotal of 63 in her three-yearNCAA conference career.

Her 63 double-doublesunoffically places her thirdall-time in the NCAA Div.II record books. Her recordaccomplishment is not rec-ognized because SFU wasnot a full-fledged NCAAmember until this year.

After the 2012/13 reg-ular season, Raincock-Ekunwe was named a firstteam conference all-starand the Great Northwestplayer of the year.

league indicator of how good a team is, may bear outRamirez’s optimism heading into the provincials.

“I think we’re in a perfect spot to be a dark horse.I think we’re going to be motivated,” he said.

Chile will take on ICST Pegasus at the NewtonAthletic Turf next weekend on a day and time to bedetermined later.

just under three goals an outing.Not surprisingly, third-year Limestone head coach J.B.

Clarke likes Loewen’s consistency.“He’s Steady Eddie. He shows up every day with his

hard hat and lunch pail. He’s so good near the goal,”Clarke said.

But Clarke was not convinced that Loewen’s nifty stickin close quarters would necessarily translate to the strat-egy of the more open field game.

“At first, we didn’t think he was a good perimetreshooter. But he’s always trying to get better. He’s amaz-ing,” said Clarke. “He’s turned into a good room-and-time shooter. It’s a dramatic change and he’s developinga right hand.”

Clarke was also impressed with Loewen’s “remarkablecoachability”.

“I asked him to try this new way and the next threetimes he had the ball he tried it,” said Clarke. “But hisability in the classroom is every bit as good as his workethic and ability on the field.”

Clarke added Loewen will “almost certainly” be nomi-nated nationally as an academic All-American this sea-son.

But first on the agenda is a third Div. II title for the No.3 nationally-ranked Saints, Loewen said.

“I think we have to build off last year – everythingwas perfect. What we did last year, we have to learn fromthat,” he said.
