Burnabyteacherswill jointheircoun-terparts across the province Mondayfor a full-scale teachers’ strike.

Eighty-seven per cent of B.C. teach-ers voted yes to escalate the current jobaction. Of 32,209 ballots cast, 27,946voted in favour. The strike will lastthree days.

“Teachers are determined and unit-ed in their opposition to Bill 22 and tothe bullying tactics of a provincial gov-ernment that has deliberately under-funded public education for a decade,”said Susan Lambert, president of theB.C. Teachers’ Federation.

The union said that Bill 22, tabledyesterday in the legislature, seeks toimpose a net-zero contract, to restrictthe ability to negotiate improved learn-ing conditions and to eliminate fun-damental civil and labour rights forteachers.

“The results of our provincewidevote are strong evidence of the unityand determination of BCTF membersin rejecting this government’s pro-vocative and damaging legislation,”said Lambert, who worked in Burnabyas a teacher-librarian and resourceroom teacher for students with specialneeds.

The Labour Relations Board isallowing the union to stage a full walk-out one-day-per-week, following theinitial three-day strike. The Liberal

A team of senior doctors at BurnabyHospital says that the ongoing infectioncontrol problem in their facility – andthe “ineffectual” response to it – is bad

enough to be considered medical negli-gence.

That’s just one charge in an extensiveletter sent to the head of the Fraser HealthAuthority in early January, signed by thehospital’s general pathologist and chair ofthe infection control committee, Dr. ShaneKirby, and the heads of several hospitaldepartments, including surgery, internalmedicine and emergency.

NDP leader Adrian Dix and BurnabyMLA Kathy Corrigan questioned Health

Minister Mike de Jong in the legislaturethis week about the situation after theyreceived a copy of the letter.

Corrigan told the NOW yesterdaythat the number of cases of infection anddeath resulting from Clostridium difficile– a bacteria that causes diarrhea, feverand nausea – outlined in the letter are“astounding.”

“The most shocking point in the letteris 84 (related) deaths and 473 cases in two-

As cases of whooping cough pop upthroughout the Fraser Health region, medi-cal authorities here are now expandingtheir adult vaccination recommendationsbeyond the original outbreak zone in Hopeand Chilliwack.

Last week, the health authorityannounced it’s encouraging all adults andyouth in the region who are in regular con-tact with young children to get the free vac-cination from their doctor or participatingpharmacy. The recommendation includespregnant women and their partners.

The health region runs from Boston Barto Burnaby, including New Westminster,Coquitlam, Delta, Surrey, Langley, MapleRidge and Abbotsford, covering more than1.6 million people.

“The best protection against whoopingcough is to get vaccinated,” said Dr. PaulVan Buynder, the region’s chief medicalhealth officer. “The booster shot is espe-cially important for those who have orexpect to have close contact with infantsand young children. The vaccine that mostpeople get when they are children onlyoffers protection for four to 10 years, sothere are many adults without adequatecoverage.”

An outbreak in Hope in December wasinitially thought to be well contained, butcases have since cropped up in Chilliwack,Harrison/Agassiz and in other FraserHealth communities.

In all, there have been 140 suspected orconfirmed cases, but health officials saythe true number could be much higher, assome cases go undiagnosed or unreported.Whooping cough, or pertussis, is a high-ly contagious disease that causes severecoughing that may last for months and canbe fatal, particularly for infants.

The disease spreads easily through theair when an infected person coughs, sneez-

es or even laughs. Symptoms appear aboutseven to 14 days after infection, lookinginitially like a cold with runny rose, lowfever and mild cough, but the cough willcontinue to worsen, becoming so bad thatit can lead to vomiting.

The health authority is also encouraging

parents to ensure their children are fullyimmunized.

Free vaccine is available through doc-tors’ offices and participating pharmaciesfor adults and youth who haven’t had awhooping cough booster in the past fiveyears and are in regular contact with young

children. A list of immunizing pharma-cies can be found at www.fraserhealth.ca/whoopingcough. To check a child’s immu-nization records and make an appointmentfor childhood immunizations, contact alocal health unit for an appointment.

and-a-half years,” she said.She also noted that infection

outbreaks forced the closure oftwo units in 2011 – one for ninedays in July and another for 12days in late November and earlyDecember.

The letter says the “unaccept-able rates” of C. difficile are a“significant, serious and sus-tained problem” that exceedsregional and national averagesand has resulted in “significantmorbidity and mortality.”

The problem, say the doctors,arises from a number of issues,including an aging hospital facil-ity, hospital overcrowding, a sus-ceptible elderly patient popula-

tion, inadequate hospital clean-ing and a lack of administrativeorganization and support.

The doctors also outlined 16recommendations on how toimprove the situation, includingenhanced cleaning recommenda-tions.

Cleaning staff at the hospitalare employed by a private com-pany but are members of theHospital Employees’ Union.

Union head Margi Blameysaid the doctors are “right on” intheir assessment.

“It’s certainly not news to usand certainly not news to ourmembers who do the cleaning atBurnaby Hospital,” she told theNOW. “I think the doctors out-

lined things very, very clearly,and they’re right on all thosefronts.”

The first step in improving thesituation, said Blamey, is address-ing staffing and workload. Aswell, she said that money spentnow will save dollars later.

“It’s cheaper to prevent anoutbreak than it is to contain it.If we’re looking for money sav-ings, then the money up frontfor a workforce that is properlytrained is going to save moneylater,” she said. “Cutting corners… is penny-wise, pound-fool-ish.”

Dr. Andrew Webb, FraserHealth vice-president of medi-cine, told The Vancouver Sun on

Wednesday that they acknowl-edge there is a “high rate ofClostridium difficile in Burnaby”and that officials are working onthe problem.

Those measures include iso-lating patients with the virus,increasing cleaning and shuttingdown areas if necessary duringan outbreak.

He also noted that FraserHealth recently got the results ofan external review by an infec-tious disease expert and receiveda number of recommendations,which they’re acting on now.

Additionally, Fraser Healthissued a statement yesterdayafternoon saying that the claimof 84 deaths was not accurate.

“Determining whether ornot a C. difficile infection hascontributed to a patient’s deathis extremely difficult. … While84 patients who had C. difficileinfection may have died over thattime period, it does not meanthat CDI was the cause,” readsthe release. “In 2010/11, therewere 13 cases … where (it) wasbelieved to be a contributingfactor. Of these 13 cases, eightpatients were over the age of 80,and all cases had other compli-cating medical conditions.”

The release also includes acomment from Webb stating thatBurnaby Hospital “is a safe placeto get health-care services.”

Burnaby’s two membersof Parliament say they arereceiving calls from constit-uents about possible robo-calls they received duringthe 2011 federal election.

Burnaby-Douglas MPKennedy Stewart said hehas received one report ofa misleading “robocall”– an automated phone call– about poll station times.

“A gentleman who wentdoor-knocking for me onelection day, he sent anemail saying when he wasdoor-knocking someonetold him, ‘I just got a calltelling me the polls close at4 o’clock’ when they reallyclose at 7, and it was arobocall,” Stewart said ina phone interview with theNOW.

The volunteer’s memoryof the incident was trig-gered by recent reports offraudulent robocalls claim-ing to be from ElectionsCanada but giving falseinformation about pollingtimes and locations.

“It’s exactly what we’rehearing right across thecountry,” Stewart said,adding that one recordedcall that was played duringa news program was exact-ly like the call his volunteerreported.

But he added he plans tocarefully research claims ofrobocalls before assigningblame to anyone.

“I’m taking quite a cau-tious approach to this,”he said. “I don’t want toaccuse anyone of doingwrong if they haven’t.”

At this point, his officeis working to verify theone report he’sreceived, he said.

As for why any-one would go tothe trouble of set-ting up mislead-ing robocalls andlive calls across thecountry, Stewartpointed out mis-information couldhave a big effect ina riding where therace is close.

Stewart, run-ning for the New DemocratParty, won by 1,011 votesover Conservative candi-date Ronald Leung.

“In a close riding likemine, if you suppress theNDP vote, you could helpthe Conservatives win,” hesaid.

Fellow NDP MP Peter

Julian, who represents theriding of Burnaby-NewWestminster, told Stewarthe’s received a handful ofreports of possible fraudu-lent calls.

Julian put out a pressrelease saying theMPs’ offices areinvestigating theclaims.

“We haveto stress that itis still too earlyto say whetherthese specificclaims can be ver-ified,” Julian saidin the release.“However, weencourage any-one who believes

they might have informa-tion to contact ElectionsCanada toll-free at 1-800-463-6868.”

The minister of financeframed the 2012 budgetusing the theme of fiscal

prudence in uncertain economictimes, but this can’t be furtherfrom the truth.

There is nothing prudentabout deliberatelyunderestimating theamount of money thegovernment has towork with and padding budgetestimates for what could only beinterpreted as political reasons(to help justify their ideologicalposition in favour of small gov-ernment and ensure that targetsare exceeded in advance of nextyear’s election).

There is nothing prudentabout shirking our responsibilityto tackle the global climate crisis,to reduce income inequality, tosupport the vulnerable amongus.

On the contrary, we knowthat failing to address theseproblems now will only make itmore difficult and more expen-sive to deal with their conse-quences in the future.

It’s the slow economy, ratherthan out-of-control spending,that presents the major fiscalproblem for Canadian provincialgovernments.

A slow economy means thatthe government revenues aregrowing slowly while demandfor many public services remainshigh or even increases.

In the case of B.C., this prob-lem is compounded by the large

tax cuts we’ve seen during thelast decade, which have addi-tionally drained the public purseof much-needed revenues.

Government revenues as ashare of gross domestic producthave fallen from 22.6 per cent

in 2000 to 19.6 per centin 2012. If we collectedthe same share of oureconomy in revenues

today as we did in 2000, we’dhave $6 billion more to spend onmuch-needed supports for fami-lies. (B.C.’s GDP was $203 billionin 2010, three per cent of that is$6.1 billion).

We can’t just wait until theeconomy improves. We muststep up to the challenge andaddress our pressing social andenvironmental problems today.

Our debt levels are still veryreasonable, projected to peak at18.3 per cent of GDP in 2014/15,among the lowest in Canada. It’sa far cry from the predicamentof Greece and other Europeancountries that find themselveswith debt levels well in excess of100 per cent of their GDP.

We can afford to borrow abit more at today’s record lowinterest rates to make capitaland social investments thatwill pay off in the future. But ifwe are unwilling to leave anymore debt to our children, whatwe need to do is step up andpay slightly higher taxes todayinstead of just ignoring our

Thinking pink sends an important messageWe all have a role to play in helping to empower victims and to help tackle the root causes of bullying

Congratulations to the staff and stu-dents of those Burnaby schools whoproudly sported the colour pink onWednesday as part of PinkShirt Day.

The day, of course, isdesigned to share an anti-bul-lying message. The “pinkness” sprangfrom a 2007 incident in a Nova Scotiahigh school that captured national atten-tion. Some Grade 12 boys heard that

a new-to-the-school Grade 9 boy hadbeen called a “fag” and threatened forwearing a pink polo shirt to school on

his first day. About a dozen ofthe Grade 12 boys went to adiscount store and bought 50pink tank tops; others spread

the word. The next day many studentswore pink to show they did not supportthe bullying.

The point of the day reflects what

those Grade 12 boys did and reinforcesa simple message: Take appropriateaction. They chose a way to stand up tobullying while avoiding confrontation.

There is a lesson here in empower-ment for all those who have felt toouncertain about confronting bullying:the majority are allies. There is far moregood than bad in our world. Seek it outand enlist its help.

Those that seek to inflate their own

worth by demeaning or intimidatingothers are likely in trouble as well.

Physical aggression is most common-ly learned in – or in the absence of – ahome environment. Early interventioncan make a difference, but that requiresothers to speak up.

We can all help to empower others. Indoing so, we make the immediate soci-ety in which we function a better placeto live.

Budget createsfalse picture

‘Prudent’ a euphemism for inactionDear Editor:

Re: It’s a stay-the-course fiscal plan, Burnaby NOW,Feb. 22

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon uses the word“prudent” a lot to describe his first budget. Thecontents, however, suggest that prudence is nota strategy but, rather, a euphemism for doingnothing. Think about it. The personal income taxincrease is not budget induced. It’s a consequence ofa return to the PST. Falcon avoids the question of arollback of tax cuts, as well as the larger issue of taxreform, as a means to deal with the revenue-versus-expenditure crunch.

Think about it. There is no real commitment

to increase corporate taxes. Instead, it’s offered asa possibility (and then limited to one per cent) ifexpectations in economic growth fail to materializebetween now and 2014. Given that this governmenthas repeatedly lowered the corporate rate since 2001(from 16.5 per cent to 10 per cent), and given thatthere is at least one more budget before 2014, it’sdifficult to think of this as a serious possibility.

Think about it. A thousand dollars toward reno-vations that help seniors stay in their homes won’tgo very far. Moreover, home renovation is not anitem one normally includes in a retirement budget,so it will come as no surprise if only the more afflu-ent seniors are able to take advantage of this taxcredit, as little as it is.

problems and hoping thatthey’ll go away.

Yes, it will cost moneyto seriously tackle theclimate crisis, to reduceincome inequality, to

properly support thevulnerable among us andenable them to reach theirfull potential.

But failing to addressthese problems now doesnot make them disappear,it only makes it more dif-

ficult and more expensiveto deal with their conse-quences in the future.

Budget: Too prudent, perhaps?

Think about it. Money allotted to edu-cation won’t even keep pace with expectedcost of living increases, thus ensuring yetanother cut to that crucial public servicefor the next three years as school boardsare subjected to the cascading effect ofmore budget pressure.

The only funding increase is the previ-ously announced three-year, $165-millionfund for special needs students.

There is no mention of a program toassist in meeting the needs of inner-citychildren whose ability to learn is erodedby daily hunger.

To not address that issue in a positiveand meaningful way is to perpetuate thecondition of, as one teacher puts it, “haveand have-not schools.”

Think about it. Our health plan alsowill not keep pace with inflation. Alreadystaggering under a spending cap of 4.8per cent over the last three years, FinanceMinister Falcon has reduced this to 3.2 percent over the next three years.

Partial relief will come with yet another(the fourth?) jack-up of our MSP premi-ums, but only to the tune of $109 millionfor 2012/13. It spells serious trouble forhealth care.

Think about it. Falcon and his gov-ernment are not doing economic battle;they’re raising the white flag.

Funding tied to party politicsDear Editor:

Re: Minister challenged to visit ‘needy’district, Burnaby NOW, Feb. 17

The provincial economy – the educationpart at least – is a brutal partisan game.

Burnaby kids get minimal dollarsbecause largely, Mayor Derek Corriganis an arrogant, loud-mouthed, staunchNDPer and to a lesser degree, (schoolboard chair Larry) Hayes is also pro-NDP.

If you’re pro-NDP and like Corrigan,you get the least funding. If you’re NDPbut less aggressive and more reserved, youget intermediate funding. If you’re pro-Liberal, welcome to the 6/49!

The economy is mainly tied to one’spartisan position, partisan philosophy.This explains it better than (EducationMinister George) Abbott did.

Ban smoking in all parksDear Editor:

Re: Butts out in Burnaby Lake Park,but other city parks still allow smoking,Burnaby NOW, Feb. 8

Our parks are supposed to be forhealthy, active use. Sitting on a park benchand leaving your “butts” all over isn’thealthy or attractive.

Maybe, if the smokers just picked upafter themselves, it wouldn’t be too bad.Unfortunately, most of them feel that it’sup to someone else to pick up after them.And the poor children that are playingaround in that.

It’s ironic that you can’t have a coldbeer during your baseball game, but youcan leave your garbage, butts, all over thefields.

Let’s welcome Bill C-30Dear Editor:

Forgive me for not sharing the enthusi-asm with which some of my fellow citizensare attacking Vic Toews and his Bill C-30.

I support his efforts to make an attemptand provide the police with a tool that islong overdue and may get us out of therotary telephone era and into 2012.

The present firestorm reminds me ofthe time all airport workers were to befingerprinted.

Then as now my response is: “it willprove I did not do it!” Yet, many of myco-workers went off the rails about havingtheir human rights violated.

Let me relate an incident, which repre-sents reality in Canada as I see it: Whenour car was broken into, I expected theRCMP to come and take fingerprints sothat other impressions could be matchedwith the individual concerned. Insteadthey gave me an insurance claim numberover the phone.

Some of my fellow travellers are para-noid enough to believe there is enoughslack in the system for someone to listen inwhen I order a pizza!

How dumb does it get? Our lawenforcement needs improved proceduresand laws to match! Bill C-30 is but one ofthem.

filed by Postmedia News and theOttawa Citizen.

According to the report, therewere only five incidents reported toElections Canada that affected poll-ing station operations in B.C. Noneof the reports involved misleadingphone calls.

In Burnaby, the only incidentreported was a polling station atSimon Fraser University – in theBurnaby-Douglas riding – that wasclosed from 2:15 to 2:55 p.m. due tofire alarm testing at the university.

But Stewart said constituentsmight not have known whom to con-tact about misleading calls.

His campaign office was closed asof Election Day, he explained.

“So if it happened on ElectionDay there would’ve been no way forpeople to get a hold of us,” he said.

And constituents may not haveknown to contact Elections Canada ifthey did receive a call, he added.

According to Stewart, Elections

Canada is investigating calls made intwo Ontario ridings, one in Guelphand one in Thunder Bay, and so farreports of misleading calls have beenmade from 59 ridings throughout thecountry.

However, Elections Canada wouldnot confirm any investigations at thispoint, to protect the investigative pro-cess, said Diane Benson, a spokesper-son with Elections Canada.

“We have had calls,” she said inresponse to a question about com-plaints, adding that Elections Canadahas “a very experienced workforcethat can attend to large volumes ofcalls” and that each call was beinghandled individually.

Benson emailed a link to ElectionsCanada’s penalties for general offenc-es, saying that she could not listspecific possible penalties for specificacts, as penalties are determined on acase-by-case basis.

Anyone found guilty of obstruct-ing the electoral process can face finesof $5,000, five years in prison, or both,

according to Elections Canada’s tableof offences.

If constituentsbelievetheyreceiveda fraudulent call, they need to submita complaint in writing to the commis-sioner of Elections Canada, she said.

They should include their name,mailing address, phone number andemail address, as well as a descrip-tion of the circumstances behind thecomplaint.

Specific, relevant details such asdates, places or documents should beincluded, as well as the section of theCanada Elections Act related to thecomplaint if it is known.

Complaints must be receivedwithin 10 years of the offence beingcommitted.

Send complaints by email [email protected] orby mail to: Commissioner of CanadaElections c/o Elections Canada, 257Slater St. Ottawa, Ont. K1A 0M6.

government’s legislation will makeany strike by teachers illegal.

“Most people are characterizingthe bill as a ‘measured, thoughtful,balanced and constructive’ approachto a dispute that has been going onfor almost a year with little chanceof a resolution,” Education MinisterGeorge Abbott said in a press release.“If you look at the history of the rela-tionship between the teachers’ unionand the government in this province,you’ll soon realize that in almost20 years of provincewide bargain-

ing, the BCTF has only successfullyconcluded one negotiated agreement.You will also realize that Bill 22 is ameasured and appropriate responseto the current situation.

“I am disappointed by the initialcomments coming from the teachers’union. In the most frustrating exam-ple – the union has been asking formediation. Now, they are rejectingthe idea simply because the mediatoris required to strike a genuine balancein the discussions by looking at whatboth parties want so we can put theneeds of students first.”

Burnaby district parent advisorycouncil chair Jen Mezei said the dis-trict-wide parents’ group remainsneutral over whether it supports theteachers’ job action.

“However, it is disappointing thatboth sides have not managed to cometo a compromise and settle the dis-pute,” she said.

“Parents are frustrated at thewhole situation, and parents and stu-dents are caught in the middle as thishas played out once again.”

Local artist honouredA Burnaby artist has been select-

ed as Ducks Unlimited Canada’s2012 National Artist of the Year.

Itai Erdal has made a name for himselfas a lighting designer, winning awards andacclaim for his work behind the scenes formany theatre companies.

When his mother was diagnosed withterminal cancer, Erdal began a journey thatsent him down new artistic pathways.

The Chop Theatre is bringing Erdal’s one-man show, How To Disappear Completely, toBurnaby March 7 to 10.

The show, which premiered atVancouver’s Chutzpah! festival in 2011, isonstage at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts.

How to Disappear Completely began, unex-pectedly, in September of 2000, when Erdalreceived a phone calling telling him thathis mother, Mery Erdal, had been diag-nosed with lung cancer and given only nine

months to live.Erdal, who had recently graduated from

film school, moved back to Israel to spendevery moment with his mother. During thattime, he shot hours of film and hundreds ofpictures, documenting her final months andthe circumstances surrounding her death.

In How To Disappear Completely, Erdaluses this material, in combination with on-stage lighting demonstrations, to support hisstorytelling abilities.

“There is no greater pain than havingto say goodbye to a loved one,” said CoryPhilley, facility and event services coordina-tor at the Shadbolt, in a press release. “Whilethis hurt and loss are present in Itai’s work,he bravely chooses not to let them dictatehis story. Instead, he finds light in the dark-

est of places and shows the life’s inevitableend is only more reason to fill each day withhumour, vibrancy and love.”

Philley describes Erdal as a “wonderfullyengaging and hyperbolic storyteller” andcalls the work a “deeply touching portrait”of an extraordinary woman.

How To Disappear Completely is writtenand performed by Itai Erdal. His collabora-tors include director James Long, drama-turge Anita Rochon, sound designer EmeliaSymington Fedy and projection designerJamie Nesbitt.

Shows are at 8 p.m. nightly.Tickets for the March 7 preview are $15.

Regular shows are $32, or $27 for studentsand seniors. Call 604-205-3000 or see www.shadboltcentre.com.

Poignant journey: Itai Erdal brings his one-man show, How To Disappear Completely, to the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts March7 to 10. The production tells the story of the final months of the life of Erdal’s mother, Mery Erdal.

After her professor pans herdoctoral thesis on Shakespeare,a student finds herself trans-ported into the Bard’s world,where she inadvertently sendshis stories in hilarious newdirections – and finds her trueself along the way.

That’s the premise ofthe comedic play GoodnightDesdemona (Good MorningJuliet), the latest production bythe departments of theatre andstagecraft at Douglas College.

The play, which runs March9 to 17, tells the story of aConstance (Claire Pollock), a

modern-day academ-ic who finds a newawareness of herselfthrough the dream-like experiences of twoShakespeare plays:Othello and Romeo andJuliet.

When her profes-sor criticizes her thesis– that the two trag-edies were originallywritten as comedies –Constance finds herselftransported to the worlds of thetwo plays, where she interferesin the action.

This leads to unex-pected results for thecharacters – and forherself.

The play starsBurnaby residentDavid Hollinshead inthe roles of Romeo,Iago and Ghost.

Allan Lysell, direc-tor, said he chose theplay because it has allthe elements of story-telling he loves: action,

great language, a happy endingand high and low comedy.

“Good comedy is life-affirm-

ing and laughter-making.Laughter is good for us. Thatincludes laughter generated byslapstick, parody, satire, puns,language or jokes. Goodnighthas all of this, plus sword fightsand some pretty bawdy actionand language,” he said.

Goodnight Desdemona (GoodMorning Juliet) runs March9 to 17 at the Studio Theatreat Douglas College, Room4140 at 700 Royal Ave., NewWestminster.

Tickets are $8 to $12 and areavailable at 604-521-5050. Seewww.douglascollege.ca.

The DOXA Documentary Film Festivalis bringing an award-winning documen-tary to Shadbolt Centre for the Arts.

The festival’s Motion Picture Film Seriescontinues at the Shadbolt on Monday,March 12, with a 7 p.m. screening in theStudio Theatre.

It features the Vancouver premiere ofJon Shenk’s The Island President, whichwon the People’s Choice Award forBest Documentary at the 2011 TorontoInternational Film Festival.

The film chronicles the story ofMohamed Nasheed, the first ever freelyelected president of the Maldives – anisland nation that is slowly being eatenaway by the rising waters of the IndianOcean, threatening the very existence ofthe Maldives.

If the oceans continue to rise, theMaldives will become one of the firstcountries in the world to succumb to

climate change – and Nasheed rose tolead the battle against climate change bymaking the country completely carbon-neutral.

Shenk follows Nasheed’s rise to power -taking over from a nearly 30-year dictator-ship and his struggle to take his country’sbattle for survival to the world stage at the2009 United Nations climate conference inCopenhagen.

After the documentary was filmed,however, Nasheed faced still more strug-gles. He was forced to resign from officeon Feb. 7 this year during a military coup.

DOXA’s presentation of the film will beits first screening in Vancouver.

For more information, call 604-646-3200or see www.doxafestival.ca.

Tickets are $12 and can be purchased atwww.shadboltcentre.com or by calling thebox office at 604-205-3000.

Spring break is almost upon us,marking not only the arrival of anew season but also the beginningof the spring and summer travelperiod. That is why now is agood time to assess your travelinsurance needs for the comingmonths. If you’re planning familygetaways or even quick shoppingtrips across the border, you’ll wantto ensure you have adequate travelinsurance coveragefor your entire family.No matter their age,it’s important that eachfamily member hascoverage in their ownname. Many insurers,including BCAA, offerfamily plans whichcould mean reducedrates and less worryfor you. Here aresome things to consider whendetermining which coverage isbest for you and your family.

If you’ve invested in pre-paid travel arrangements, suchas airfare, hotel deposits oramusement park or tour passes,you may want to include tripcancellation and trip interruptioninsurance as part of your policy.This coverage could reimbursenon-refundable travel costsshould you need to unexpectedlycancel your trip, or return homeearly due to an emergency whileyou’re away or even one backat home.

Parents of older students takingspring break vacations on theirown should also be mindful oftheir child’s travel insurancecoverage and insist it be part oftheir travel checklist. Consideringthe relatively low cost of travelmedical insurance coverage –in some cases it could cost lessper day than a fast food lunch –it’s a lot cheaper than paying for

emergency care. If forany reason your childlands in the hospital,it’s reassuring to knowthat some policies,including BCAATravel Insurance, mayprovide coveragefor you to travel toyour child’s bedsidein the event on anemergency.

A common misconceptionamongst vacationers is to regardtravel insurance as being mostlyfor those with existing healthconcerns. But it’s importantto remember that anyone,even children, could requirehospitalization as the unexpectedcan happen to anyone at any time.

Take some time to chat to aBCAA Advisor and ensure you areproperly protected and you’ll travelwith peace-of-mind no matterwhere you or your family goes.

Family sized peace-of-mind.

Cars not a once-in-a-lifetime purchase

Dear Tom and Ray:I’m 35, and I would like

to purchase a diesel SUV thatwill last the rest of my life… ideally, into my 90s. Myidea is that diesel engines lastlonger and that my familyand I could rack up 500,000to 600,000 miles on whateverwe buy during my lifetime.

I was thinking of buyinga BMW, Volkswagen, Audior Mercedes. All of themare around the same price.However, I cannot purchase acar that costs the same as myhouse.

So, I’d probably purchaseit used from a dealer or indi-vidual. At least, that is whatI’m thinking.

Am I crazy, or is thisdoable? I don’t like spendingthat much up front, but ifwe can realistically keep thevehicle for the next 60 years,it would be worth it.

P.S.: I do not have agarage, so something thatdoesn’t rust out quickly ispreferable.

– Mike

TOM: Are you crazy, or isthis doable? I vote crazy.RAY: I just can’t get over

what a depressing thoughtthat would be: buyingyour last-ever car at age35. You might as well buya coffin now, too, Mike.TOM: Why? His family’sgoing to bury him in thecar after 15 or 20 years ofhaving to ride in it!RAY: Yeah, this is a badidea, Mike.TOM: Think about whatit would be like to have a60-year-old car today. Itwould be something like a1952 Chevy Bel Air.RAY: It would haveanemic horsepower anda two-speed automatictransmission that got youto a maximum speed of 80miles an hour, while get-ting about 16 miles to thegallon.TOM: It would have noseatbelts, no air bags, noanti-lock brakes – not evendisc brakes – no stabil-ity control, an unpaddedsteering wheel and a metaldashboard to crack yourhead on in an accident.RAY: It would have “kneeaction” front suspension,no power steering, nopower brakes, it would bea horrible rust bucket bynow.

It would be hard to getparts for, and it wouldspew 100 times the pollu-tion of anything else onthe road.TOM: Now, a vehicleyou buy today obvi-ously will be up-to-datetoday, in terms of equip-

ment and technology. Butwho knows what will beinvented in the next 60years? In fact, I think it’ssafe to say that there willbe far more advances incars in the next 60 yearsthan there were in the past60.RAY: Even in 30 years, allcars may drive themselvesby communicating withother traffic. They may allbe electric, or powered byextra-virgin olive oil. Whoknows?TOM: Plus, if you forceyour family to ride in a25-, 30-, 40- or 50-year-oldcar, they will end up hat-ing you. And you’ll endup not only with an unsafeold heap that’s decadesout of date, but you’ll endup alone – with no one tohelp you push. Trust theguy who clung to his ’63Dodge Dart when I tellyou this.RAY: This is just a badtime in history to be try-ing to predict what you’llneed in a car 60 years fromnow, Mike. You’d be betterserved by buying four orfive modestly priced carsduring the same numberof years. That way, as safe-ty and technology trickledown into lower-pricedcars – as they always do– you’ll be able to catchup every 10 or 15 years.That’ll at least give you ashot at having kids who’llstill visit you when you’re90. Good luck, Mike!

“I didn’t do cross-country (ski-ing) before. My only sport wasdownhill skiing when I was little,”said Tsang.

“It’s just my dad. He was mycoach when I was younger,” saidTsang. “I find this sport motivatesme to go farther in life and achievemore. I really hope I can participateat it a little longer.”

Burnabybounced from

MainlandsThere will not be any

representation fromthe Burnaby/NewWestminster district atthis year’s B.C. AAA highschool basketball champi-onships.

The Byrne CreekBulldogs, BurnabySouth Rebels and NewWestminster Hyacks allflirted with top-10 rankingsthis season but were upsetby lesser-ranked teams atthe Lower Mainland cham-pionships this week.

The latestcasualty wasByrne Creek,which lost anal l -Bulldogs’matchup to No.9 Sir WinstonChurchill 65-63in overtime onWednesday.

Byrne Creekwere the victims of theirown making, surrender-ing leads late in the fourthquarter and OT to theChurchill team.

But a fifth and disquali-fyingcallonWilsonAnteroswas a game-changer.

Anteros was whistledfor an offensive chargethat turned the ball over toChurchill in the final min-ute of play.

“It was a crazy call. Ifanything, it was a non-call,” said Byrne Creekhead coach Wayne Best.

Churchill took the in-bound pass and NickAtwal drove to the hoop totie the game 58-58 with 9.9seconds left in the game.

Byrne Creek then turnedthe ball over at mid-courtbut were saved by forwardKennedy George, whoscrambled back to makea game-saving block onBojan Sever under the bas-ket.

In OT, Byrne led by asmany as five points, butleft three points on thetable following three-of-sixfree throws by George.

It was Atwal again whosank the dagger into theByrne Creek armour, nail-ing a baseline three-pointerwith less than 25 secondsleft on the clock.

“The kids only wantto learn lessons the hardway,” said a disappoint-ed Best. “Everything we

talked about all year andthese guys refuse to takethat knowledge on and offthe court.

“I’m sick to my stomach– to do all this and they dothat.”

Byrne Creek trailed 18-12 after one quarter butclosed to within a point atthe half.

The Burnaby Bulldogsthen put together a 16-9third quarter to take a six-point lead into the final 10minutes.

George finished thegame with a game-high 25points, 13 rebounds and

three blockedshots.

GlenMorganplayed true tothe Bulldogmoniker, scor-ing 10 points,including back-to-back treys inthe fourth quar-ter for Byrne

Creek.The Rebels and the

Hyacks both exited thedouble-knockout Mainlandtournament on Tuesday.

The Hyacks also bowedout to Churchill 88-66,while South was upset byNo. 10 Point Grey 58-49 atSt. George’s.

New West were widelyoutscored in both the sec-ond and fourth quarters ina less than stellar outing forthe Hyacks.

“We didn’t shoot theball well and didn’t playvery good defensively,”said New West head coachJohn Doughty. “Their bigguys hurt us and we didn’thave an answer for it.”

Churchill’s MindayMinhas led all scorers with30 points, including 15 inthe third quarter.

Jesse Mushiana silencedany chance of a Hyackcomeback, nailing 18 of his24 points from under thebucket in the final 10 min-utes.

New West had itsmoments, rallying frombehind in both the first andthird quarters.

Masood Walli nailed ajumper early in the secondquarter that momentarilytied the game. Secondslater Manvir Gandham,with a team-high 20 points,scored on a transition bas-ket to give the visitors theironly lead.

Clan hoop players named to GreatNorthwest all-conference teams

Simon Fraser University forward Nayo Raincock-Ekunwe and Kristina Collins were both named to GreatNorthwest Athletic Conference all-star women’s basket-ball teams.

Raincock-Ekunwe earned a second consecutive first-team honour, while Collins received an honourablemention.

“Nayo is one of the best athletes in Division II bas-ketball,” said SFU head coach Bruce Langford in a Clanpress release. “She is an outstanding rebounder and ourleading scorer. She has the ability to dominate games.”

Raincock-Ekunwe broke her own single-season con-ference record, recording 22 double-doubles this year.

She also led the conference in both scoring andrebounding with an average of 18.5 points per game and13.3 rebounds.

“It’s a really big honour and being unanimouslyvoted to be on the team from the other coaches feelsgreat,” said Raincock-Ekunwe in the release. “I think theteam has improved a lot. Our shooting is a lot better, ourteamwork is better, we play together, and a lot of peoplehave stepped up this year where as last year two or threeplayers scored most of the baskets. Everyone came toplay this year.”

Collins received honourable mention in the coaches’

poll after a season in which she was the Clan’s secondhighest scorer and a constant threat from beyond thearc.

Collins led the team with 111 assists and had thehighest free-throw shooting percentage on the team at0.796.

Guard also named all-conferenceClan guard Justin Brown became the first Simon

Fraser University player to be named to an NCAA all-conference men’s basketball team.

Brown, who recently completed his second year withthe Clan, led SFU this season with an average of 17.6points per game – fourth in the conference. He also ledthe Clan in steals with 41, assists with 92 and free throwsmade with 154.

“We’re really lucky to have a former Division I playerfrom California here at Simon Fraser, so I’m happy thathe received an individual honour and that the othercoaches in the league recognize that he’s a talented indi-vidual,” said SFU head coach James Blake.

In his two seasons at SFU, Brown garnered 902 points,165 assists and 72 steals.

Brown transferred to SFU from California PolytechnicState University.

“I’m sick to mystomach – to doall this and theydo that.”WAYNE BESTByrne Creek head coach

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections March 4 - 10, 2012★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: Continue to rest, lielow. Contemplate: how have you come here, andwhere are you going? It’s a little too early to makeplans, as many factors, and your own certainty,will “show up missing” over the next few weeks– significant revisions will arise in April. Completeprojects and duties now, rather than starting anythingnew.What seems a dull Sunday might transform, thisnight or Tuesday, into romance or a pleasure foray.Your money luck improves over the next four weeks.Tackle growing chores midweek. Relationships havea strong message for you Thursday night onward.Taurus April 20-May 20: You’ve felt a bit put-upon,that luck wasn’t on your side, these last few weeks.That changes, Monday onward. Your gracefulnessand subtle magnetism return; your popularity surgesupward, puzzlement will dissolve. Still, don’t startnew projects or new romances before April. You oftenjudge yourself by your possessions. That will causeyou much wondering and bemusement in May/June– but these months of indecision will be only part of alonger phase of good money/possessions luck, fromApril to July, which in turn kicks off a hugely luckyyear of money, lasting to mid-2013.)Gemini May 21-June 20: The accent continueson ambition, reputation, mingling with “big shots”– considering your poor luck of the last few years,take a defensive rather than daring stance here.Strictly avoid starting ambitious new projects beforeApril 4. (A slowdown starts soon, technically March12. This will bring back a former hope, or “light lover”– but that’s next week onward.) You’ve been moregregarious the last few weeks: now, through March,socializing mingles with “quiet joys.” BTW, thoseyears of bad luck end in June; bad karma ends in lateAugust. Then a year of splendid fortune begins.

Cancer June21-July22:Yourmellow,understandingmood continues. Relationships are changing (2008-2023). This month is an excellent time to figure outwhy – why they’ve changed, what you can do, themeaning of it all. Your vision and thoughts are broaderand more acute than usual. You’ll be surprised/gratified by the nuggets of affection and optimism youuncover. (That’s partly because, now to April 3, yourpopularity rises.) Chase money – carefully – Sundayeve to Tuesday. Travel, talk, messages fill midweek:say heartfelt, loving things. Settle into home Friday/Saturday. Finish, don’t start, projects.Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The mysteries continue. Butyou’ll solve a lot of them Sunday eve to Tuesday, whenyour energy and alertness return. (Passivity promotesmystery; action solves it.) And Tuesday night toThursday, when money luck (combined with action)can reveal the forces and currents underlying manyaspects of your life, and reveal a profitable, satisfyingroad ahead. Take action! But stop Thursday; sitback, relax, have a coffee and communicate Friday/Saturday. All week, start nothing that will demandfurther (supportive) efforts after this week. E.g., buystocks, don’t start a business.Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Relationships dominateall month, but this week the aces fall in your lap.Take advantage of your position, luck and strength,especially Wednesday – but keep in mind the needto please another, to co-operate and work as a team.Strictly avoid starting any new projects before April 4;finish instead. (A period of slowdowns, mistakes andindecision technically begin March 12.) You’re hopefulSunday morning, but to little avail. Retreat this p.m.through Tuesday eve: meditate, finish chores, rest.Your energy and charisma surge midweek. Examinemoney (buy nothing) Friday/Saturday.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Tackle chores. Protecthealth; eat and dress sensibly. Though Marchis always a month of drudgery for you, it will belightened this time by a relationship. A friend couldbe all talk, or physically intimate – the former is a lotsafer. (You aren’t really in a good mating phase beforeJune, not in an excellent one until September – beforethis, sex is great, but not a basis for life-mating.) Yourpopularity and optimism rise Sunday eve to Tuesday– be happy! But retreat to rest, contemplate andexercise charity midweek. Your energy and charismarise Friday on. Start nothing new, big.Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: You’re on a wee winningstreak – take risks, be adventurous. But don’t startany large projects (ones that will demand yourparticipation later inMarch).Sundaymorning’smellowbut not successful – leave love for the moment. Beambitious Sunday eve to Tuesday pre-dawn – thepath is smooth. An ally will either fight you or promoteyou. Wishes come true Tuesday night to Thursday:optimism, social delights and entertainment arrive.A love interest could climax, become an affair. Butretreat, rest and contemplate Friday/Saturday. Plannothing big, start nothing big this week.Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: The accent lies onhome, family, property, security, retirement, gardening,nutrition, stomach and soul. Diving into any of thesewill give you a feeling of satisfaction – but finish ratherthan begin projects, in these or any zones. A romanticglance, a friendly but rushed conversation, couldspark an affectionate interlude, but any relationshipbegun now will inherit indecision. (And an old flamemight return later in March, complicating everything.)These are just a “stirring” – soon, April onward (into2013) a serious sweet bond will arise. Good careerluck midweek.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Travel,communicate, perform errands, do paperwork – dothese quickly, now, as a major slow-down hits thisarea next week, which will leave you “out of the loop,”planning-wise and data-wise, to April 4. (Speaking ofplanning, make none now; wait until April, after thesituation has changed.) Life’s depths, sexual urgesand financial actions fill Sunday eve to Tuesday. Amellow, wise mood flows Tuesday night to Thursday:dive into culture, international affairs, intellectualpursuits, and love. Luck accompanies you Sundayeve to Thursday, so act. A romantic mood creeps in.Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Chase money – butdon’t start any large projects (especially in monetary,friendship or communication zones) before April 4.Your home becomes a more affectionate place inMarch. You’ll be talking, mailing, travelling all month,too, but make your major contacts now, not later.Schedule meetings for April, not March. Relationshipsbless you Sunday eve to Tuesday: a property questionmight arise. Delve into intimacy, big finance, researchor health problems Tuesday night to Thursday – youmight make a major, lucky investment. Wisdom, butnot much luck, Friday/Saturday.Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Your energy, charismaand clout ride a peak wave – but the results of youractions might not be what you want, if you beginprojects now (or anytime before April 4). Finishthings, instead. You might meet a splendid friend soon(around March 13, but it could occur anytime March5 onward). Tackle chores, protect your health, Sundayeve to Tuesday.Tuesday night to Thursday brings greatrelationships, excitingmeetings and new opportunities(but remember my advice about new projects). (You’llsee these people again mid-next week.) Take carewith money, intimacy Friday/Saturday.
