‘Inspiring the uninspired’ B
ack in 2002, retired Burnaby teacher Mike Jones was sitting in his office in the first week of classes at Alpha Secondary, when he first heard of Desi Collinson. “I remember a young boy come running in and saying, ‘Mr. Jones, you have to see this guy playing in the gym,’” said Jones. That guy was Collinson, a First Nations student transfer to the North Burnaby school from what was then called the Queen Charlotte Islands before the Reconciliation Act of 2010 renamed the North Coast ON MY BEAT archipelago “Islands of the Tom Berridge Haida People.” Matt Rachar, who was an up-and-coming junior post on the Alpha senior boys’ team, also remembers the first day Collinson walked over to Confederation Park and singularly took over a game of pickup basketball. “(Collinson) dominated the games,” said Rachar, who went on to set a B.C. high school record with Alpha for most field goals in a provincial tournament before embarking on a successful five-year hoop career at the University of B.C. and later turning pro in Austria. “We were ecstatic to hear that he was moving to Burnaby and would be attending Alpha. That was a huge turning point.” Alpha head coach Wayne Best remembers Collinson and his buddy Duane Alsop, who followed his friend to Alpha in 2003, as “tough and passionate.” “He’s always looking for the positive. … I’m just beaming with pride,” Best said of his commitment to the youth. Collinson, a first team Lower Mainland all-star, helped Alpha to its first AAA provincial tournament and a top-eight finish in 2003, averaging more than 18 points per game and placing fourth in overall free throw percentage, potting 21-of-24 in four games. After graduation, Collinson attended Langara College but returned home before finishing his studies. “Basketball and sport in general, is just a Basketball Page 3

The RCMP’s Federal Serious and Organized Crime Unit is asking questions about former MLA Harry Bloy and the Liberal leadership race, the Burnaby NOW has learned. Two RCMP officers recently questioned Coquitlam resident Sanjay Sharma about his Liberal party membership renewal and whether he received a PIN number and instructions to vote in the party’s 2011 leadership race. Sharma was told he was a witness in what “may or may not be something.” “The first question out of their mouths was, ‘Are you affiliated with any party?’” Sharma told the NOW. “And I said, ‘I believe I signed up for a Liberal (party) membership when Christy Clark was running.’” The officers were questioning Sharma about an event he attended, in which he renewed his Liberal party membership with Bloy, who was then the MLA for Burnaby-Lougheed. Sharma paid cash to renew, then later received instructions in the mail on how to vote online for one of four candidates vying for leadership of the B.C. Liberals – Kevin Falcon, Christy Clark, George Abbott and Mike de Jong. The RCMP officers asked Sharma if he remembered how much he paid and whether he remembered voting online, which he did. It’s not clear what exactly the investigation is focused on, because RCMP can’t comment. However, last fall, B.C.’s Criminal Justice Branch appointed a special prosecutor to help police with an ongoing investigation into contraventions of the provincial Election Act. The RCMP were investigating issues connected to the review of the draft Probe Page 9

Recycling changes may be costly Don Hauka staff reporter
The Burnaby Board of Trade supports a growing call for the provincial government to put the brakes on B.C.’s new recycling regime, set to launch May 19. Paul Holden, president and CEO of the board of trade, says there needs to be more consultation before the province presses ahead with the revised recycling rules. “There are still groups out there that are concerned about how this affects their sector,” said Holden. “I think there is sufficient merit in pausing for a while and looking at it again to see what sort of impact it will have.” Holden said the Burnaby Board of Trade expressed con-
cerns about the program during earlier consultations, especially with the speed with which it was being implemented. He said Burnaby has a number of businesses impacted by the recycling changes. Holden was responding to the launch on Monday of a campaign by a coalition of B.C. businesses asking Environment Minister Mary Polak and Premier Christy Clark to hit the pause button on the contentious recycling rules they say will kill jobs and increase red tape. Mike Klassen, B.C. director of provincial affairs for the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) called on Clark in Contributed/burnaby now particular to rethink the rules. “It’s better to hit the pause but- Raising the alarm: Peter Kvarnstrom, chair of the Canadian ton and rethink this rather than Newspaper Association, is part of a coalition of businesses that say Recycling Page 4 B.C. needs to rethink its recycling rules.

The 28-year-old will be leading the Queen Charlotte Saints single A basketball team to perhaps the biggest, single challenge that any provincial high school team has ever attempted. The Saints, which even by single A standards is considered tiny, will be attempting the near impossible when they enter the B.C. high school quad A boys’ basketball championship against the No. 4-ranked and defending provincial champion Walnut Grove Gators today (Wednesday). The team is led by two of the best players in the province, 6-6 forward Jesse Barnes and guard Nathan Vogstad, who recently committed to Simon Fraser University for next season. “Our kids are tough, playing against men makes you tough and playing on Haida Gwaii makes you tough,” said Queen Charlotte Secondary instructor Dave Wahl, who played varsity basketball at SFU in the late 1990s. For Desi Collinson, basketball has, and continues to be, the key to opening up doors. He is a three-time MVP at the All-Native basketball championships and the winner

cated its responsibility and handed the whole recycling system over to a group of multi-national organizations run from Bay Street,” said Kvarnstrom.
“Decisions on B.C.’s recycling programs are being made in offices in Toronto and local businesses have not been consulted.”
Ministry of Environment spokesperson David Crebo said the intent behind the MMBC program shifts the cost of recycling from taxpayers to the companies
who produce the packaging and other materials. It should provide incentives to industry to reduce packaging. Some 86 communities
have signed on for the MMBC program, which provide recycling services to over 1.25 million households, or 73 per cent of B.C. residents.

being stuck with a bad law on May 19,” said Klassen. “There are way too many businesses balking at it.” Nine major business associations representing tens of thousands of B.C. small businesses and their employees have formed a coalition and launched a campaign to protest regulatory changes involving the recycling of printed-paper and packaging. The Rethink It, B.C.! campaign is launching a media and social media blitz with ads running in 130 newspapers across the province. The new regulations shift the responsibility for paying for recycling packaging and other paper products from consumers to the products’ producers. MultiMaterial B.C. (MMBC), an Ontario-based industry group that includes grocery giant Loblaws, megaretailer Walmart and the Tim Hortons fast food empire, runs the new program, scheduled to launch May 19. Klassen said the rule changes will hurt thousands of businesses who will have to pass the recycling costs on to their customers. The Rethink It, BC! Coalition includes businesses in the agriculture, newspaper publishing, landscaping, printing and custom manufacturing, retail, wholesale, food, and waste collection sectors. The coalition also includes the B.C. and Yukon Community Newspapers Association (BCYCNA). The Burnaby NOW and its partner newspapers in the Glacier Media chain are members of the BCYCNA. Canadian Newspaper Association Chair Peter Kvarnstrom (also president of B.C. operations for Glacier Media Group) said handing B.C.’s recycling programs over to an organization run out of Toronto makes no sense. “B.C. is the first jurisdiction in the world where the government has abdi-

Some Burnaby councillors say aging bridge shouldn’t be replaced at all Stefania Seccia staff reporter
Some Burnaby councillors say it’s better to tear down the Pattullo Bridge and not replace it, rather than build a new, tolled four-lane crossing. That was among the councillors’ reactions to a presentation from New Westminster Coun. Bill Harper, who appeared in front of Burnaby council Monday night to discuss his city’s proposal to replace the Pattullo with a new
tolled, four-lane bridge. New Westminster is starting a tour across the Lower Mainland to present its position on a replacement bridge, and its first stop was Burnaby council in an effort to rally support for its vision. “New Westminster already had significant traffic challenges due to our location at the centre of the region and this traffic is already affecting the livability and economic viability of the city, and indeed the region,” Harper said to council. “Adding the Pattullo as a free alternative only exacerbated the negative impacts on our residents and businesses. And I’m sure that’s the case in Burnaby, as well, since a good sizeable portion of the traffic comes across Bridge Page 8

far less successful. Quebec lost 26,000 jobs in February. The province’s unemployment rate now sits at 7.8. Those numbers are a stark contrast to her lead in the polls, which currently sits at 22 points. And more than any other provincial race, Quebec’s election could carry national consequences. After its failure nearly 20 years ago, Quebec separatism is once more in the
spotlight. While shifting demographics may not be in the favour of the Yes side in another referendum, it is a painful, bruising process for the country as a whole. The rewards sought by those who push for an independent Quebec are mainly symbolic. We urge Quebecers to choose their symbols carefully. – Guest editorial from the North Shore News
Are B.C. Liberals courting labour? IN MY OPINION
A
Keith Baldrey
n unusual gathering at Premier Christy Clark’s legislature office last week served as a reminder of some of the challenges facing the New Democratic Party as it continues to rebuild after last year’s devastating election defeat. A Who’s Who of B.C.’s organized labour movement met with Clark to see if there was any common ground on three issues: raising the minimum wage, reducing the reliance on foreign workers and increasing the number of apprenticeships at work sites. Almost a dozen union leaders huddled with Clark in her office, which is about 100 metres from NDP leader Adrian Dix’s office. But when B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair appeared at Clark’s side in a joint news conference afterwards, the distance seemed much greater. This was another example of the labour movement – traditionally a strong supporter of the NDP – making a bet that it was better to do business with Clark and her government, rather than
simply aligning itself with the Opposition New Democrats. The first such episode of this evolving relationship between labour and the B.C. Liberals came last fall, when Sinclair and building trades head Tom Sigurdson shared a public platform with Clark, to announce they had formed a joint committee to develop a skilled workforce that will be needed to develop the LNG industry. Framed against these developments is the ongoing internal debate within the NDP that goes to the heart of the party’s increasingly tense relationship with at least parts of the labour movement. The NDP cannot decide where it stands on a critical issue: the creation of jobs in natural resource industries. And so it finds itself struggling to hold onto the support of those private sector union members whose livelihoods may depend on these jobs. This issue will likely dominate the party’s leadership race. The only declared candidate – MLA Mike Farnworth – has already been criticized by some of his caucus colleagues for daring to suggest the party take a neutral position on the proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline. Farnworth has also run afoul of the positions of two NDPfriendly mayors, as both Labour Page 7
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Playing ‘name that bill’ with Telus Dear Editor:
We’ve had the Olympic Games, now we’ve got the annual Telus Games where the future of your bill is a mystery. As one of their longtime, so-called “loyal” customers I’m told I have a discount rate of $42 per month for basic phone and Internet service. The catch is that every year that rate jumps back to the usual rate unless you phone them and threaten to take your business elsewhere. This time my latest bill for February jumped to $67. So I phoned them once again, and someone from the customer loyalty department said he could reduce my bill by $10 a month for six months. Then
I’d have to phone in again. Well, two days later I decided to phone them again and ask for the customer loyalty department to see if I could do a better deal. And guess what. Now I’m back to $42 a month but only for six months. Then I have to phone and play the game again. How can you have any respect for a company that charges whatever rate you’ll accept, it seems? This is the result of deregulation of the telecommunications industry. My trust and respect for Telus is gone, not to forget B.C. Hydro either with their smart meter games. If you can’t trust a company to charge you a fair rate, then you certainly can’t trust the company. Jim Ervin, Burnaby

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Government looks foolish
Dear Editor:
According to Education Minister Peter Fassbender, a teacher attending a district meeting obtained a document outlining a B.C. Teachers’ Federation strike plan and passed it on to the government. What does the minister do? Does he think maybe the release of a strike plan before the results of a strike vote are tabulated is extremely unusual? Does he attempt to verify the authenticity of the document? No, what he immediately does is dis-
tribute copies to journalists and raise the alarm of classroom disruption. Given the history of the relationship between the government and teachers, one cannot be faulted for wondering if this whole matter was staged. The minister assures us that “that’s not the way we operate.” We are left wondering, however, whether he is referring to the suggestion of government dirty tricks or its knee-jerk response. Either way, Fassbender and the government look pretty foolish. Bill Brassington, Burnaby
Labour: Should NDP be worried? continued from page 6
Vancouver’s Gregor Robertson and Burnaby’s Derek Corrigan strongly oppose the Kinder Morgan project. Farnworth (and fellow MLA John Horgan, should he decide to run for leader) advocate policies that are more accepting of natural resource industries, but there are many, many folks in their party who vehemently oppose such a shift. Take the issue of fracking, which is used to extract natural gas from deep in the ground. The party is committed to a review of the practice, but the outright banning of fracking is a favourite position of many environmental groups as well as NDP activists. Of course, if fracking was banned, the existing natural gas industry (which ironically grew significantly because of policies of the NDP government in the 1990s) would
collapse, thus robbing the provincial treasury of hundreds of millions of dollars. There are other hotbutton issues that put some New Democrats in knots of course: mining, liquefied natural gas, port development, private power projects – the list is a long one. These industries not only create jobs, but wellpaying jobs – precisely the kind sought after by the labour movement. So when not one, not two, but almost a dozen top labour leaders meet with the head of the B.C. Liberals to talk about jobs, that’s not a good thing if you’re a New Democrat struggling to maintain the party’s traditional identity as a workers’ party. Now, to be clear, the B.C. Federation of Labour and its members are still supporters of the NDP and they’re not going to hold any fundraisers for Christy Clark anytime soon.
But those NDP ties have become somewhat strained, as labour leaders realize their members’ interests come well ahead of those of the environmental movement. Some New Democrats who realize that turning their backs on the natural resource sector is a recipe for electoral disaster have spoken out. Former NDP premier Dan Miller and former senior NDP aide Bill Tieleman have both written op-ed pieces or columns warning the party may be headed over a cliff. Don’t be surprised if we see more labour summits in the premier’s office. Clark’s political savvy tells her they not only make good sense from a public policy point of view, but they also serve to magnify the growing rift in the party that is her chief political opponent. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Comment via BurnabyNOW.com I Golden Girl: So much misinformation in this article, it’s appalling. There will not be a vote on the act this week or next week, it’s in committee and parliament is set to take a two week break next week. Committee has agreed to hold more hearings than originally planned, and will take presentations from people via Skype or video conferencing. So this group should be contacting the committee to find out how they can be involved. Not much point having a news story when there are so many mistakes in it.

Bridge: Council debates Pattullo continued from page 5
the Pattullo Bridge and runs through your main connectors.” Councillors Nick Volkow and Dan Johnston said they supported New Westminster’s four-lane proposal. However, councillors Colleen Jordan, Paul McDonell and Sav Dhaliwal had different ideas on how to deal with the Pattullo Bridge issue. McDonell said truck traffic should be forced back on to the Port Mann Bridge, and the Pattullo should be torn down and not replaced at all. “I don’t know if we really need that bridge,” he noted. “I’m not being facetious. No bridge at all. Tear it down.” McDonell also said if a bridge is built, it shouldn’t allow trucks. “We’ve got to stop, why do we worry about those people,” he said. “Let them travel another 15 or 20 kilometres. Why should we be building for the convenience of them and subjecting our citizens to the outpouring of all of the problems we have with them?”
Jordan echoed McDonell’s opinion of tearing down the bridge and not replacing it, or if the new bridge could ban truck traffic like the Lion’s Gate Bridge. Dhaliwal had a different idea, which is to connect McBride Boulevard with Highway 1 because 10th Avenue, Canada Way and Kingsway have all been adversely affected by the bridge traffic. “Every car that crosses the Pattullo goes down through Burnaby,” he said. “We have a lineup here. … Guess where that traffic is going? It all flows through Canada Way, 10th Avenue, McBride and the Pattullo.” Mayor Derek Corrigan said Harper can report back to his city saying that many Burnaby councillors think “four lanes was too generous.” “There hasn’t been a decision made, but certainly you can tell that most of us are worried about the impact of that traffic coming through our city,” he said. Corrigan said staff will be working on a report to advise Burnaby on how to proceed regarding New West’s proposal. See more at www.burnabynow.com.

Probe: RCMP look into leadership race continued from page 1
multicultural strategic outreach plan, which was at the heart of the Liberals “quick wins” scandal. While Bloy previously told the NOW he had no knowledge of the leaked ethnic vote targeting strategy, a review ordered by Clark found that Burnaby’s Brian Bonney was doing partisan work on taxpayer time, while working for the provincial government. The RCMP investigation and special prosecutor appointment was linked to a complaint made by NDP leader Adrian Dix. “This investigation relates to concerns the Opposition raised repeatedly in the Legislature, as well as other serious issues,” Dix said in a statement last August. “I thought these issues were sufficiently serious as to warrant an investigation. The RCMP has now undertaken one, and a special prosecutor has been appointed.” Dix offered no further information and opted to let the investigation “run its course.” The NOW tried contacting Bloy and Bonney but did not hear back. The RCMP said the investigation had “heavy timelines,” and that the first report could be out in May, although they could not confirm or deny whether it was tied to the ethnic vote scandal. The NOW contacted David Butcher, the special prosecutor, but did not hear back by press time. The NOW also contacted Clark’s office for comment, and her assistant said she didn’t know anything except what was already reported by the Burnaby NOW and referred us to the B.C. Liberal Party. “The only comment we have is very simple, it’s our policy to cooperate fully with any questions the authorities have, and that will continue to be the case,” said Emile Scheffel, spokesperson for the Liberal party. Editor’s note: Sanjay Sharma is an employee of Glacier Media, which owns the Burnaby NOW.

Well, lookie here. One minute you have a perfectly good Blue Box recycling program. The next, something new and rather questionable is being put in its place. And they thought they’d get away with it right under your nose, without telling you or asking your opinion. That’s definitely not democracy in action. The BC Government, elected by us to represent our best interests, has decided to offload the costs of recycling to big multi-national corporations. To implement this new plan, they’ve set up an association that doesn’t seem to hold the environment, local jobs, or the municipalities that run the Blue Box program, close to its heart.
Perhaps that’s why some of our elected officials are using the word “scam” to describe how the new program is being set up. It’s also perhaps why several of BC’s municipalities refuse to jump on board. That’s gotta tell you something. Now it’s your turn to let Premier Christy Clark know what you think. Contact her today to say that dismantling an already-working recycling program to replace it with something that few people think will be as good, is a bad idea.
What’s going on here?

Lights, camera, artifacts at the village Burnaby Village Museum seeks memorabilia, stories from the film industry for summer exhibition Julie MacLellan staff reporter
Burnaby Village Museum wants to transport residents into the world of the movies – and it’s looking for help from people in the film industry. The museum is searching for people to contribute memorabilia and expertise for a Summer at the Movies exhibition planned to run at the village this summer. “The exhibit overall is looking at the kind of experience of going to the movies in the ’20s and ’30s in Burnaby,” explained Lisa Codd, the museum’s curator. As part of the exhibit, the museum wants to also explore the history of the film industry in Burnaby over the last 20 or so years. “It is a neat place to really think about what filming was like 100 years ago and see how things have changed,” Codd said. Codd is hoping to hear from people who have worked on films or TV series that were shot in Burnaby. She pointed out that many long-running, popular shows – 21 Jump Street, MacGyver, Stargate and Smallville, to name a few – were filmed in Burnaby. She’s hoping that people will have memorabilia from those and other shows – props, set pieces, costumes, photos, sketchbooks and the like. And, she said, it’s more than just the objects: they’re also interested in people’s memories of the filming. “It doesn’t just have to be stuff,” she said. “We’d also just love to hear from people with stories.” The museum is also looking for people who have worked in the industry who would be willing to share their stories and demonstrate their skills on site, or who might have old equipment to demonstrate.
Larry Wright/bur naby now
Action!: Lisa Codd, curator of Burnaby Village Museum, checks out some of the holdings in the HollyNorth warehouse in North Burnaby. Mike Kaerne of HollyNorth is an advisor to the museum for the Summer at the Movies exhibition that it’s working on right now. The museum is seeking memorabilia and stories from the local film industry. Codd noted they’re looking for all kinds of skills, whether it’s set design, costume design, special effects, stunts or makeup. She said the museum’s efforts to document the history of the film industry are, in fact, unusual. “It’s largely an undocumented history,” Codd said, noting that once filming is over, all traces of the process tend to just vanish from the public eye. “A lot of the objects disappear into prop houses or people’s private collections.”
The museum is getting some expert assistance for the project – Mike Kaerne of Burnaby’s HollyNorth studios is serving as an advisor for the exhibition. Codd hopes the Summer at the Movies exhibit will help shed a light on an industry that many people simply don’t have knowledge about. “We want to lift the veil. We want to let people inside,” she said, noting it’s in keeping with the museum’s mission. “Part of our mandate as Burnaby Village
Museum is to show Burnaby to itself.” Memorabilia would be taken on loan. Anyone with objects to lend is asked to contact Codd, lisa.codd@burnaby.ca, as soon as possible – please provide a description of the memorabilia you would like to loan, along with a photo if possible. People who are interested in sharing their stories and expertise as on-site demonstrators or storytellers are also asked to email Codd. twitter.com/juliemaclellan
Douglas Road students stage original operas HERE & NOW
Jennifer Moreau
H
ow often do kids get the chance to put on their very own operas? That’s exactly what’s happening in the Burnaby school district, with a pilot project where students get the chance to create, produce and perform in their own short
operas. Project Opera is collaboration between the district and Vancouver Opera, and Douglas Road Elementary students have been meeting with “teacher artists” from Vancouver Opera. The students will showcase two 20- to 30-minute operas in the school gym this Friday, March 14.
Helping orphans
Kudos to Maya Callender, a young Burnaby woman who landed a Moellership Award to support two months of volunteering in
South Africa. Callender, a doctoral student at the University of Florida, is off to an orphanage in Durban, South Africa, where she will provide speech-language therapy for children and help the caregiver staff. “I chose to go to South Africa because there is a high need with the number of orphans there – one in five children in the country are orphans. I’ve always had the desire to work with children in underserved populations,” she said in a media release.
Maya’s mother is one of the key organizers for Burnaby’s annual Black History Month celebrations.
Robotics stars
Hundreds of students from B.C., Washington and Alberta descended on Burnaby’s BCIT campus for a large-scale robot competition over the weekend (March 8, 9). The students were vying for top spot in the regional championships of a larger worldwide contest, organized by Robotics Education and
Competition Foundation, a non-profit organization. The winning team was from Gladstone Secondary, which has a history of performing well in the annual contest. Moscrop Secondary was the only Burnaby school that sent a team to the competition. The students come with homemade robots to play a competitive game, where they have to throw balls into a goal and remove their opponents’ objects from the goal.
“It takes an understanding of basic physics and engineering, understanding the concepts of torque and leverage and programming,” said Lance Balcom of For a the Pacific Youth video, Robotics Society. scan The winners go with Layar on to compete in the finals in California, and the grand prize is a trophy and bragging rights, Balcom said. Most of the teams are boys, but Balcom said they are actively reaching out to encourage more girls to get involved.

How should I handle the surliness of strangers? CLICK & CLACK TALK CARS
Ray & Tom Magliozzi
Dear Tom and Ray: I’m on a website for owners of a particular make of car. I got the idea of printing business-card-size cards with the URL for the site and briefly spelling out the benefits: a listserv, a list of recommended mechanics, a list of recommended parts sources. On a few occasions, I’ve encountered the owner as I was about to leave a card, or just after leaving the card, and the owner was fairly surly about the whole thing. One prospective recipient seemed quite irritated even after I politely explained what the card was all about. I figure there’s no point in arguing with the car owner in these situations, but I always want to say, “I’m not hurting you, or the car!” I think the surliness is completely uncalled for.What do you think? – Andrew TOM: I think people are surlier these days, especially when it comes to being “marketed to.” RAY: Thirty years ago, our phones weren’t ringing all day with recorded sales pitches to visit condos we don’t want in Del Boca Vista, Fla. Our computer browsing wasn’t interrupted by pop-up ads for weight-loss panties. Our email boxes (we didn’t

Combine that with the fact that most things left on our windshields are unwanted junk, and I think you are more likely to get a grouchy reaction these days.

Know your own medical history HEALTHWISE
Dr. Davidicus Wong
T
hose who don’t remember their medical history may not necessarily be condemned to repeat it; you won’t have your appendix removed a second time, and you’re unlikely to get mumps again. However, if you ever find yourself in an emergency department, knowing your own history can help those who are looking after you. The current standard is for your family physician to have a summary of your medical history at the front of your chart. With computerized offices, there is an electronic version. Unfortunately, many people don’t have a regular family physician. Knowing your history is essential to complete and optimal care. In the past, medical students used to call some patients “poor historians,”
but they weren’t underpaid academics. Rather, the students had difficulty getting the important details from these patients. Being a good historian requires some familiarity with medical terms. Here is a primer for what you should know. ! Allergies: Here we list allergic reactions to drugs or medical materials, such as IV contrast, latex or adhesives. Many people mistake allergies for medication side effects, such as upset stomach, diarrhea and yeast infections with antibiotics. True allergic reactions include rashes, hives, itching, wheezing, fainting, shortness of breath or swelling of the lips, mouth or face. Severe allergies to foods and insects should also be listed. ! Current medications: Just like us, all drugs have two names. The trade name (which is like a first name) is capitalized and is often a catchy word made up by a drug company (for example, Viagra). The generic name (analogous to a surname but written in lowercase) is the name of the actual molecule (for example, sildenafil). It’s usually
harder for most people to remember. You should have a list of all your medications, including the dose (e.g. 30 mg) and frequency (e.g. once daily or three times daily). ! Family history: The problems of your parents and siblings are often great predictors of your health risks. Relevant conditions include coronary artery disease (causing angina and heart attacks) strokes, cancer (especially of the prostate, ovary, breast and colon), diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. It is also helpful to know the relative’s age of onset for any of these conditions. In general, the more relatives with the same disease and the earlier the age of onset correlate with a disease’s inheritability. This knowledge is helpful in identifying and treating conditions early. By treating risk factors with lifestyle changes and sometimes with medications, we may prevent heart attacks and strokes or delay the onset of diabetes. ! Operations: It is helpful to know both the date and
the actual medical term for each surgery or other procedure. ! Significant illnesses: This includes the dates and reasons for hospitalizations, chronic diseases and other significant medical conditions. Knowing a condition’s date of diagnosis can help determine its potential impact on your overall health. The salient details of your medical history can be summarized on a single sheet of paper. Consider keeping this summary with you when travelling or in case you have to attend a hospital or a clinic. If you already have a thorough knowledge of your medical history, you’re a step ahead in being more in control of your own health care. If you don’t, start writing down the details. You may soon be known as a great historian. Dr. Davidicus Wong is a family physician and physician lead of the Burnaby Division of Family Practice. His Healthwise column appears regularly in this paper. You can read more about achieving your positive potential in health at david icuswong.wordpresss.com.

Knight girls win B.C. AA bronze Tom Berridge sports editor
Leilani Carney sparked a second-half comeback to help lead the St. Thomas More Knights to a third-place finish at the B.C. high school AA girls’ basketball championships. The Grade 11 guard had a 12-point third quarter, including a trio of three-pointers, to lead all Knights in total scoring following an 83-67 victory over the Wellington Wildcats in the bronze-medal match at the Langley Events Centre on Saturday. “It was a close game. We had to get “All the girls were back into it and come really playing back strong. We hard. … We play couldn’t have won without each other,” off emotion, but said Carney Carney led her we always go in teammates in overthere and battle, all scoring with 60 points over the fourand that’s how day championship, we’ve had sucincluding a 24-point cess.” outing in STM’s 6557 win over Vernon DOMUNIQUE BOOKER in the quarter-finals. STM first team all-star A point behind was junior point guard Zion Corrales-Nelson, who finished the consolation final with a game-high 24 points and eight steals. Corrales-Nelson was later named a championship second team all-star and winner of the defensive player of the tournament, an honour the talented Grade 10 athlete won last year with the runner-up junior Knights. Senior forward Domunique Booker earned a first team all-star nod for the Knights following a monster double-double in the bronzemedal win. Booker scored 18 points and added as many rebounds in the final, while fellow senior Meghan Ho played through injury in the second half, scoring 13, while adding five rebounds and three blocked shots. “All the girls were really playing hard. We really came out playing off each other,” said Booker. “We play off emotion, but we always go in there and battle, and that’s how we’ve had success.” Ho said the bronze medal felt “amazing.” “I wasn’t going to miss that game.

ball. I was really proud of how we played in the second half,” she said. Trailing by just two points in a tight first half, Carney pulled STM even with backto-back three-pointers, and then gave the Burnaby independent the lead with a perfect three-for-three at the foul line after she was fouled attempting another trey. The Knights then pulled away in the final frame, outscoring the Wildcats 27-15, includ-
ing seven-for-nine from the charity stripe. First team all-star Ally Keir had a teamhigh 20 points for Wellington. STM opened with a 73-54 win over Lambrick Park behind a 20-point effort from CorralesNelson. The Knights were stopped in the semifinals by eventual champion Windsor Dukes 64-50. STM graduates just two starters off its roster for next season.
Clan women earn third seed to NCAAs Tom Berridge

Second-half points cost Simon Fraser University a Great Northwest conference title. SFU led by 10 points heading into the second half of the championship final, but lost momentum on the defensive glass before falling 78-74 to Western Washington in Lacey, Washington in a rematch of last season’s conference final. But the Clan women’s basketball team will get another crack at their cross-border rival when the two NCAA Division II foes meet again this Friday in the opening round of the national tournament
Midget Giants move on to semis
in Pomona, California. “(Western Washington) is a team we know really well,” said Clan head coach Bruce Langford. “Maybe we had too big a lead (in the conference final). When we got tentative, we couldn’t get untentative. I think it’s an excellant matchup.” It will be the fourth meeting this season between SFU and Western Washington with the Clan looking to even the series and to move on to the second round on March 15. SFU advanced to the conference final following an 85-74 upset win over regular season champion and No. 1 seed Montana State Billings on Friday.
“We came out with a lot of confidence. It just didn’t last long enough,” said Clan head coach Bruce Langford in a school press release. “We had four people contribute to the offence, but we could have used a little bit more in places. The game was really lost on the offensive boards. They had way too many offensive boards, which led to second-chance points.” Senior Marie-Line Petit, who scored eight of her 18 points in a 10-0 Clan start, finished the tournament with 54 total points. Erin Chambers led the Clan with 28 points. The SFU junior also registered a team-high 22 points in the win over Billings.
Katie Lowen chipped in with 13 points, while Chelsea Reist finished with 11 points and five rebounds. Sophomore Meg Wilson led the team in rebounding with 11. In the semifinal, SFU got 30 points and 21 assists off the bench in the upset win over Montana State. SFU lost its two matchups with Billings during conference play this season. Lowen added 17 points, while Wilson had 13 points and eight boards. Reist and Petit both contributed a dozen points to the scoreline. Petit also had a team-best nine rebounds and six assists.
The Northwest Giants will meet a familiar foe in the semifinals of the B.C. major midget hockey league playoffs. The Giants will host the Greater Vancouver Canadians in a best-ofthree semifinal series at the Burnaby Winter Club, beginning Friday at 7:30 p.m. The Giants took its first round quarter-final series in two straight, downing the South Island Royals 6-4 and 5-0 at home last weekend. Burnaby’s Keyvan Mokhtari scored what proved to be the series-winner midway through the first period in Saturday’s matchup at the winter club. Trevor Whithers recorded the shutout for the Giants. Quinn Thompson, Desmond BradfordBurgart and Mokhtari all had a goals and an assist for the Giants. In the opener, Justin Szeto of Burnaby led the regular season champs with a goal and two helpers. Ryland Chernomaz, Dante Fabbro and Thompson chipped in with two-point outings. Tavin Grant recorded the win in goal. The Giants have met the Canadians in the semifinals for the past four seasons, winning all of them by a 2-1 scoreline. The two teams also met in the playoff final in 2009, with the Giants taking that one by a similar 2-1 advantage. “It wouldn’t be the BCMML without a game against the Canadians,” said head coach Clint Thornton. “Due to the history (between the two teams) they always bring their best game against the Giants and I expect it’s going to be a battle.” Game 2 of the semifinal series will be played at the winter club on Saturday at 7:45 p.m. If necessary, a Game 3 is back at BWC on Sunday. Puck is scheduled to drop at 11:30 a.m.

COLLEGE HOCKEY
Clan club upset in first-round B.C. Intercollegiate playoff Simon Fraser University was upset in the first round of the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League playoffs. The Clan club hockey team lost 4-1 to No. 3 seed Trinity Western University in the third game of a best-of-three semifinal at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre on Sunday. The win propelled the TWU Spartans into the playoff final for the first time. Trinity Western, which finished a distant third to league champ Selkirk College and runner-up SFU in the regular season, took the opening game of the playoff 3-2 with the lone goal in the third period. SFU bounced back in Game 2, winning that won 2-0 on second-period goals by Nick Sandor and Yan Kalashnikov. Andrew Parent earned the shutout with 29 saves for the Clan. But it was the goaltending at the other end of the rink that proved the difference in the series. Trinity Western’s Silas Matthys was
named the first star in both games 1 and 3 for the Spartans. The first-year keeper stopped a total of 110 shots in the series, including 40 or more in both team victories. Another TWU rookie J.P. Villeneuve shouldered most of the scoring load on offence. Villeneuve scored five goals in the series, including a hat trick in Game 3. His game-winning strike came with less than three minutes left in the first quarter. “Our guys were determined to outwork the talent, and we got a great result because of it,” said Trinity Western head coach Barret Kropf in a school press release. Trevor Milner scored SFU’s only goal of the game on the power play, one of eight extra-man advantages for the Clan. In the regular season, TWU foreshadowed what was to come in the playoffs, eking out a 4-3 win in a shootout in last league fixture between both teams. During the regular season, SFU outscored Trinity Westernn 32-9.
