Private schools at the top City school trustee says that’s no surprise given that private schools can ‘pick and choose’ Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Once again, private schools dominated the top five spots in the Fraser Institute’s annual report card on B.C. schools. Holy Cross Elementary was ranked first in Burnaby and 22 in the province. Also for Burnaby, John Knox Christian School came in second, Our Lady of Mercy was third, St. Helen’s fourth and St. Michael’s was fifth. The highest-ranking public school was Buckingham Elementary, which came in sixth for Burnaby, but 74th in B.C. The lowest ranking school was Forest Grove Elementary, which scored 865 out of 874 schools provincewide. The Fraser Institute, a right-wing think-tank, uses data from the provincial Foundation Skills Assessment tests to rank the schools. The FSAs are annual reading writing and math tests for grades 4 and 7 students. The provincial government uses them to get a snapshot of how B.C. students are doing, something the left-leaning B.C. Teachers’ Federation has opposed for years, particularly because the Fraser Institute uses them for ranking schools in the Report Card. Last year, the top five schools in Burnaby were also all private. The Fraser Institute’s Peter Cowley outlined a couple of reasons that private schools consistently dominate the Report Card’s top spots. Private schools can pick and choose whom they enroll, whereas public schools Tests Page 8

Grisly discovery: The Burnaby RCMP and IHIT members were on scene most of Monday and Tuesday at Warner Loat

Foul play: Woman’s body found Alfie Lau

staff reporter

Police tape was all around Warner Loat Park on Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning as Burnaby RCMP and members of the integrated homicide investigation team looked into the discovery of an adult woman’s body near the popular dogwalking park in central Burnaby. IHIT spokesperson Cpl. Dale Carr told a media scrum on Monday afternoon that a walker in the area noticed the body in some bushes around noon and immediately called the police. The area, near the intersection of

Winston Street and Piper Avenue, is often frequented by dog walkers and people who use the trails that lead to Burnaby Lake. When Burnaby RCMP arrived, they quickly roped off the area and the mobile command unit was sent to the scene. Carr said investigators are working the case as a homicide and they do suspect foul play. “From a two-foot distance, what they’re seeing suggests foul play,” said Carr, who added that it is still early in the investigation. Carr revealed on Monday night that the body was that of a woman. He said

the body doesn’t look like it has been there long – probably less than a week – judging by the level of decomposition. Carr said that currently, there is no indication the body’s discovery is linked to gang violence or drugs. Carr was quick to point out that investigators have no reason to believe Monday’s discovery is connected to a case last week where a woman’s body was found wrapped in plastic and dumped in a ditch in Kirkstone Park in North Vancouver. “I would venture to say they are two Body Page 5

Low bid picks up floor job Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

Cascadia Sport Systems Inc. has been picked as the contractor for the new portable wood floor for the Bill Copeland arena. City council approved the contract at Monday night’s council meeting. Cascadia was the lowest bidder on the project, coming in at $318,998 including HST. The cost was originally estimated at $668,640, including HST. The submitted floor design concept uses four- by eight-foot panels of maple wood and includes a three-year warranty. The plan for a portable wood floor was based on a commitment made when the centre was first built, Coun. Sav Dhaliwal explained at a previous council meeting, as it was intended to be a premier facility for lacrosse. The 17,000 sq. ft. floor is to be installed each spring and removed at the end of the summer, to accommodate the ice sports season, according to a report from Dave Ellenwood, the director of parks, recreation and cultural services. Following the installation, lacrosse games will be booked primarily at Bill Copeland, with time at Burnaby Lake and Kensington arenas set aside for other dry floor sports, the report said. The wood floor would include a protective cover, so that graduation ceremonies and other events could be held there, according to Ellenwood, and a subfloor would also be purchased to go between the ice and hardwood floor, for events in the fall and winter. The project is expected to take two to three months. “The addition of a portable hardwood floor at Bill Copeland Arena will enhance the sport of lacrosse by providing the best possible playing surface available,” the report stated. The floor is intended to prevent injuries, an issue with the concrete floor currently being used by lacrosse teams at the facility. The floor would allow the centre to accommodate more events, Dhaliwal said at a council meeting last month, suggesting the Mann Cup could be held there. “It would definitely benefit the community in many ways,” he said.

Fire guts Japanese restaurant Admiral had to be evacuated Alfie Lau

staff reporter

A two-alarm fire has destroyed the Toyotomi Japanese Restaurant in the 4100 block of East Hastings Street in North Burnaby.

The fire broke out around 10 p.m. Monday night and caused people staying at the Howard Johnson Boutique Hotel and Admiral Pub and Grill two doors down to be evacuated out onto the street. “Smoke was coming into the pub and we started our emergency procedures,” said pub and hotel owner Amir Sadath.

different incidents,” said Carr. Carr said investigators were canvassing the area and doing a thorough ground search to see if there was evidence that would allow them to identify the victim. In addition, RCMP officers were seen on Monday afternoon door-knocking and asking neighbours if they had any information or had seen anything suspicious. “Right now, the weather’s cooperating, and our investigators want to do everything in the most efficient way,” said Carr. The news was both shocking and upsetting to local residents who were in the area and couldn’t go for their normal walks. Manuel Bastida works in the area and said he often walks south along Piper Avenue to his workplace. “I can’t believe it,” said Bastida. “I know this as a very calm area, with lots of people out walking.” Tony Dibiase lives on the north side of Piper Avenue and was surprised to see yellow police tape all around the area. “It’s a shock,” said Dibiase. “I usually go for a walk in the area, and it’s really peaceful. … This is a family-oriented area.” Tino Cucca was delivering a scooter to a local home when he came upon the flash-

ing police lights. “I don’t think you can say it’s a shock any more when a body is found in a neighbourhood. … It seems to happen everywhere, and there’s no such thing as a quiet neighbourhood any more.” This is the fourth case in the past two years where a woman’s body has been found in a Lower Mainland park. In September 2010, 15-year-old Laura Szendrei was found murdered in Delta’s Mackie Park. In April 2009, 53-year-old Wendy Ladner-Beaudry was killed on a trail in Pacific Spirit Regional Park. Both cases are still unsolved.

damage was done to their facility. “It’s kind of a shame what happened,” said Sadath. “But it looks like everybody’s OK and nobody was hurt.” Heights Merchant Association executive director Isabel Kolic said she toured the burnedout Japanese restaurant on Tuesday morning and got a first-hand look at the damage. “Everybody’s fine,” she said. “I talked to the owner and asked if he had an excellent firewall and he said yes. … It looks like the fire was contained just to the restaurant because I talked to the owners of the pet store (next door), and they seemed to be OK.” When Burnaby firefighters arrived, they found thick smoke pouring from the structure. Toyotomi started in 2004 with the vision of serving their customers some of the most unique and tasty Japanese food in the region. The restaurant was known for its 20-plus different rolls and an extensive menu of traditional Japanese offerings, with a modern twist.

and call for a new government was simply that they just couldn’t take anymore. The disparity between the haves and have-nots has reached such levels that fathers working seven days a week can’t support their families. Young people could see that the system was rigged and there was little hope that their generation would be able to escape the out-of-control patronage. Desperation drove this revolution, not the ideology of democracy.

Jordan’s king quickly announced reforms to Jordan’s government, hoping that his citizens wouldn’t get any ideas. But there was clearly a lesson to be learned by other North African and Middle Eastern leaders or, for that matter, any leaders and politicians in the world. When people can share information globally, there’s a good chance they won’t accept a system where injustice, poverty and oppression rule. In fact, they will get mad as hell and just not take it anymore.

Re: ‘Passive consent’ triggers complaint, Burnaby NOW, Feb. 5. Kudos, Ms. Ward, for your due diligence in identifying this unethical approach. The right of parents to have parental guidance over their children is being compromised. This looks to be social engineering of some academics to get into our children’s personal lives without proper parental approval. It starts with this, setting precedents, and then the floodgates are open to no limits. This cannot be allowed to happen, as our children are vulnerable to all types of predators. The group directing the survey, as mentioned in the article, would keep the findings anonymous in a secured electronic bank. Keeping electronic data secure is giving a false sense of security.

My own “water options” would be a reusable plastic container filled with tap water, being as Vancouver’s water is quite possibly the best in the world for a city of our size. To spend money on prepackaged water seems unnecessary, but that option deserves to be, well, an option. Now, as to the matter of condom machines within the hallowed halls of academe; this seems to me to be just slightly more problematic, not just because many, many parents object to it, but because they are not reusable or recyclable, nor are they natural, either in manufacture or intent.

Dear Editor:

Politics: Bridge won’t happen continued from page 6

government started to lessen. That was also the moment any recall campaign became dead in the water. ◆ The bolt-from-the-blue announcement by B.C. Ferries CEO David Hahn that another big round of fare hikes looms has brought back talk of an issue that never seems to disappear: building a bridge between the Mainland and Vancouver Island. To which I say: put a sock in it. There is not going to be a bridge built, period. Not now, not ever – no matter how much ferry fares continue to climb. The reasons are numerous. First and foremost is the ridiculous expense,

with one government estimate pegged at a staggering $12 billion (which would include a one-way toll of $260 to $800; ferry fares may be expensive, but they are a long way from approaching a return fare of more than $500 to $1,600). Why is the cost estimate so high? Well, the main problem is the extremely deep waters of the Strait of Georgia, which is much deeper than almost anywhere else in the world a bridge is located. That $12-billion cost, by the way, is equivalent to 60 years’ worth of the current level of tax subsidies currently received by B.C. Ferries. All proposals for such a bridge suggest it would span the shortest distance

– somewhere around Nanaimo, to Delta, with potential of connecting to some Gulf Islands. This means the main population hub on the Island – the capital region – would not be serviced unless people were willing to travel the 90 minutes over the often-dangerous Malahat Pass. Finally, the problem with B.C. Ferries is not getting people back and forth between Nanaimo and Vancouver – that route actually makes money. Rather, it is the dozens of small, island runs that lose money every time they leave shore that are the problem. No $12-billion bridge is going to fix those. Keith Baldrey is chief political correspondent for Global B.C.

On Feb. 5, Burnaby NOW published an article (‘Passive consent’ triggers complaint) about a letter sent home to parents to gain passive consent for the Early Development Instrument survey, a study on the education, development and health of kindergarten-aged children. The article raised concerns about privacy issues, the amount of information parents receive about the study and the use of passive consent, which is the ability for researchers to use a student’s information unless a parent opts out. Passive consent, used in a study by researchers with the Human Early Learning Partnership (HELP), a research consortium of universities based at the University of British Columbia, is a wellestablished research method for population level surveys. To gain approval to use

passive consent, the research must comply with provincial legislation, multiple privacy safeguards and security regulations, and strict standards established by the university. The parent information letter clearly conveys the details of the information collected, how it is used, who has access to the data and how it is linked to other data. It is explained using simple language and is available in nine languages. Parents are given four weeks to request further information or to opt out of the survey, which is filled out by kindergarten teachers. HELP trains teachers to work with parents to ensure that they comprehend the nature of the project and understand that their children’s participation is voluntary. Research conducted by HELP provides important insight into the health and wellbeing of children and informs family policy in this area. Information from this long-term study has already driven the development of more than 500 initiatives to support children and families across the province, including the development of Strong Start centres, neighbourhood hubs, Welcome to Kindergarten programs and family literacy programs, among others. UBC’s research ethics review board has thoroughly reviewed the methodology of the study and is satisfied that passive consent has been used appropriately by researchers at HELP. In 10 years of data collection, HELP has never experienced a breach of privacy. The ethics board has received Ms. Helen Ward’s letter requesting more information and will respond to her concerns in a timely manner.

Another reason is private schools, where parents pay tuition, are under marketplace pressure to be successful, he added. “Private schools exist at the pleasure of the families who pay the money for tuition.

Teens set to hit the streets for day of volunteering

A bee’seye view

Hundreds of kids will be painting the walls at Chaffey-Burke Elementary as part of an Earth Foundation Conservation Society project. “It’s a wildlife mural through the eyes of a bee,” said artist Todd Polich. “It’s actually an entire ecosystem. We’re going to be doing the West Coast temporal rainforest.” The mural will be on a 100-foot-long wall and will include images of Burnaby’s Still Creek, the North Shore rainforest and lots of animals. With the coordination of teachers, the project will include an educational component, where each class learns about a different element of the eco-system, which they are then responsible for painting. Polich is doing the project pro bono. He makes his money as a local mural artist and runs the non-profit society on the side. The mural should be done by mid-March.

Chigiri-e: Creating art from paper Julie MacLellan staff reporter

Light and colour abound in Roxsane Tiernan’s living room. The walls of her Cariboo Heights home are covered in art. Some of the works are reflective; others are sheer celebrations of the beauty of nature. But the overall impression is one of joy. It seems right, somehow, that Tiernan should be surrounded by this joyous explosion of her own work – particularly when you learn that it was sorrow that started her on this journey to a life filled with art. An exhibition of Tiernan’s chigiri-e is opening at Jeunesse Gallery of Fine Arts in Vancouver this weekend. The Japanese art form uses delicate, handmade paper of varying textures and colours to produce work that, upon first glance, looks very much like watercolour painting. It’s an art form that came into Tiernan’s life at a profoundly difficult time. It was 1984. Her 17-year-old daughter had died of a brain tumour a few years previously. She had just walked away from a marriage that was no longer working. Needing a change, she left for Japan to spend a few months with a friend. Japanese culture had always fascinated her, and the chance to immerse herself in a new life came at a welcome time. Her friend signed her up to take an introductory class in chigiri-e, where the first assignment was to create a simple dogwood blossom. Tiernan was done the project in 20 minutes, and she spent the next couple hours experimenting and learning how to play with the paper. She was hooked. Tiernan laughs at the memory as she hauls out an oversized plastic bag, filled with a profusion of colourful papers. She’s managed to bring some of it in from Japan – from her own travel or that of friends – and the rest she generally orders from a specialty supplier in Toronto. The paper comes in various thicknesses – the most delicate being about half the thickness of a Kleenex – and various textures, with some being very fibrous and others sheer and gauzy. Much of it is dip-died, with subtle variations in colour

Life in colour: Roxsane Tiernan of Burnaby has an exhibition of her chigiri-e work at Jeunesse Gallery in Vancouver. across a sheet. “You can play with the colour,” she explains, pointing out differences between deep purple sections and subtler lilac shades in one particular sheet. “It allows you to get the shading, it allows you to get the light. You can shade, you can glaze, you can do all the things paint allows you to do.” The paper’s natural folds and creases also come into play in working – she points out one of her pieces, a forest scene, where the natural fold in the paper allowed her to create an appearance of distant trees. “It’s the kind of thing you can’t necessarily teach somebody,” she notes. “They have to observe and go from there.”

Tiernan was no stranger to art by the time she took up chigiri-e. She was raising her family in Squamish in the 1970s and working as a substitute teacher, but she wasn’t fond of staying home. So she went Capilano College to study art – the program covered weaving, spinning, painting and more – and art became a big part of her life. Over the years, her art work has also been influenced by her travels. She’s seen more than 30 countries and also spent time working abroad. She spent two years in Mexico as program director for the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. Later, alongside teaching at New Westminster Secondary School, she

worked for the New Westminster School District marketing its programs at education fairs in Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan and Mexico. Everywhere she goes, she comes back with photographs, ideas and impressions to incorporate into her art. She’s built up a large body of work – just take a tour of her house, and especially her basement, to find out how many works she’s created over the years – and become involved in many artists’ organizations. These days, she’s president of the Burnaby Artists’ Guild, a member of the Northwest Collage Society in Washington State and a member of the Federation of Chigiri-e Page 12

Canadian printmaker’s work at Burnaby Art Gallery The work of a renowned Canadian printmaker is the focus of the next exhibition at the Burnaby Art Gallery. The gallery is presenting an exhibition of work by Sybil Andrews, Feb. 11 to April 3. Andrews, who died in 1992, is considered one of the most significant Canadian printmakers of the 20th century. She’s known primarily for her linocut prints, and the exhibition includes 22 works on loan from the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, plus seven from the Burnaby gallery’s collection. The exhibition covers Andrews’ career in both Britain

and Canada, with several linocuts and engravings, a watercolour and a drypoint. “The inclusion of this exhibition within the 2011 program demonstrates the gallery’s commitment to historical print culture and senior artists from the local community,” said a press release from the gallery. Andrews was born in England and studied in London and the Heatherleys and Grovernor School of Modern Art. Her influences include architect and artist Cyril Power, who became her sketching partner in the 1920s, encouraging her commitment to sketching.

It was teacher Claude Flight who introduced her to linocut printing and the stylistic influence of Futurism. “Linocuts quickly proved to be the ideal media for Andrews’ interest in expressing the raw dynamism and energy of her subjects,” the release notes. Andrews married in 1943 and immigrated to Canada with her husband in 1947. They first settled in Campbell River, and, after a four-year hiatus from art, she returned in 1951 and spent the rest of her life adapting her modernist approach to West Coast subjects – First Nations culture, the rainforest, the logging and

fishing industries. She also taught printmaking to artists right up until the end of her life. The gallery has a few special events planned in connection with the Andrews exhibition. Among them: ◆ Sunday, Feb. 20: Mary Jo Hughes, chief curator of the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, will give a curatorial talk at 1 p.m. ◆ Sunday, Feb. 27: In the BAG - The gallery’s next free family Sunday program will give families a chance to take part in a hands-on studio activity connected with the Andrews exhibition. It runs every half hour from 1 to 4 p.m. No registration is needed,

and all ages are welcome. ◆ Friday, March 18: Lunch BAG Days - Guests can tour the exhibition with the gallery’s public programmer and enjoy a lunch of fresh greens, breads, tapas, cheese and sweets, with tea or coffee. E-mail gallery@burnaby. ca or call 604-297-4422 to reserve a space. It costs $9 per person. The Burnaby Art Gallery is at 6344 Deer Lake Ave. It’s open Tuesday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. Admission is free.

Canadian Artists. She laughingly admits that she has no patience and that her attention span tends to be short, so she tends to work in a whole variety of media – from oils and acrylics to mixed-media and paper. Her subject matter is varied, but it always focusing on nature. The chigiri-e show opening weekend is very local in focus, with a variety of West Coast-inspired subjects – many from right here at home. One, she notes, is based on a photograph she took just outside the New Westminster Public Library, of crocuses just beginning to bloom in spring. Tiernan confesses she’s excited by this upcoming show. Though she’s been part of many shows in the past at many galleries – the Arts Council of New Westminster, Place des Arts, the Inlet Wellness Gallery in Port Moody, Brackendale Art Gallery and many more – she notes that this exhibition is special. “To get into a commercial gallery is a major step, and this is a solo show,” she notes. She found the gallery by accident, she says. She was just looking around the city for places to exhibit and happened upon this new gallery in Kitsilano. The gallery took some of her mixed-media abstracts and asked her about the possibility of a solo show.

It’s not the football players or the sumo-sized eaters who will impress you – their eating skills are to be expected – but the little young ladies who can polish off dish after dish of sashimi, sushi and rolls. “The all-you-can-eat is definitely very popular,” said Kawawa manager Fiona Chan. “A lot of the young ladies can really surprise us with what they can eat. There’s a lot of young guys who come here for it and they can’t keep up.” But to call Kawawa only an all-you-can-eat joint is to do a disservice to all of the dining options at the eatery that opened up at Metropolis at Metrotown in mid-2009. There’s a regular menu with innovative takes on traditional Japanese fare. And there’s also a ramen restaurant, where some of the tastiest Japanese noodles – in a secret recipe broth – are on offer. On a recent weekday, I sat down with Chan and talked about how successful Kawawa has been in

menu. One of the favourites – and certainly the most colourful – is the rainbow roll (eight pieces for $10.95), featuring crab meat and avocado and topped with raw fish and tobiko. The rainbow of colours atop the sushi almost makes you feel guilty about eating it, but I got over that shame quickly enough and devoured the hearty and tasty dish. The gyoza (five pieces for $3.95) weren’t too hard to swallow either, as they Kawawa Page 14

were nicely fried and full of juicy plump meat. I also had the opportunity to try a little something from the ramen menu, and, for $9.95, you can’t beat the Kawawa ramen, featuring some kimchi, pork and a golden egg. “We have a special broth, and that’s what makes our ramen so popular,” said Chan. And I had no argument, slurping down the noodles and really savouring the golden egg. As Chan and I talked about the business, she said the recent glut of Japanese restaurants in the area means that Kawawa has to continue putting its focus on great service and affordable prices. “Everybody gets their product from the same couple of suppliers,” she said. “If you get fresh product and have great service, that’s what keeps people coming back.” That means for the business lunch crowd, the sushi combos are served within minutes and party trays – ordered for Christmas parties – are ready almost as quickly. When I was in for dinner, I also had the opportunity to share the full course boat ($32.95), which is a great choice for people who want to try a little of everything. There’s your requisite salmon, tuna and tai sashimi. There’s a California roll, ebi, salmon and tuna roll as well. And there’s some cooked goodness, with tempura, karaage, chicken teriyaki and yaki soba noodles. I would’ve thought there wasn’t enough food for two people in the full course boat, but I was wrong. Add in the fact that the wooden boats are really cool to look at – if I could’ve snuck it under my coat, Kawawa might be missing a boat – and you have the makings of a great meal. When I asked Chan what Kawawa meant, she said it’s a Japanese term that denotes water that flows like a river, with water representing life. And in Burnaby, Kawawa apparently means great food at great prices. www.twitter.com/AlfieLau

Happy Valentine’s Day

Celebrate love without the Valentine

By Melissa Yue Valentine’s Day can be difﬁcult when you’re single. Though some people are happy and proud of their single status, there are others who are widowed, divorced, separated or who may be going through a tough breakup. If you’re in this category, avoid focusing on lost love. Instead, take part in these activities to change your mindset and boost your mood: 1. Treat yourself. Usually, small indulgences like your favourite (and pricey) latte coupled with a freshly baked pastry are off limits. But if you need an extra pick-me-up on

Open Monday February 14th for Dinner

Valentine’s Day, go for it and consider treating a friend as well. 2. Show love to people in need. Volunteer for a cause you believe in, bake a treat for the single mother next door or sponsor a child living in extreme poverty through a charity like Christian Children’s Fund of Canada. Giving will shift your focus and warm your heart. 3. Mail cards of appreciation to friends and family. People love

getting personal letters and notes in the mail. It shows the recipient that you gave of your time and effort as opposed to sending an email or text message out of convenience. 4. Make it your goal to laugh or smile on Valentine’s Day. That may mean a night out with your best friends, getting tickets to watch stand-up comedy or vegging out with a bucket of popcorn and your favourite movies.

You don’t need to be half of a couple in order for feel happy and fulﬁlled. Reﬂect on all the people who support, respect and value you. Then celebrate their role in your life in your own way. — News Canada

Ross has muscular dystrophy, an incurable disease which means that his body is missing part of the genetic information to create muscle. Because of his condition, Ross spends much of his time in a wheelchair. This will only increase as his muscles deteriorate. Transporting a growing child and a wheelchair is very challenging and some days almost impossible. Variety helped Ross and his family with a wheelchair ramp and tie downs to make their van wheelchair accessible.

henever I’ve felt sorry for myself, thought that life was unfair or, feeling underappreciated, decided I was giving too much of myself to others, I slap myself and ask, “What were you expecting?” You could consume your life with complaining. Looking at the cup half-full, you notice that it’s also dirty and chipped. You could even complain about the taste of the water in that lousy half-filled cup. You could fill your conscious thoughts with a running commentary on all that’s wrong with everyone else and everything you see. But where will that leave you? Anxious, angry or sad, and blind to the good things in life – the friendly, familiar smile in the crowd, a call from your best friend, the giggles of a child, green lights and smooth sections along the bumpy road of life. I start each day with a prayer of thanks, and, with an attitude of gratitude, I look for the good throughout the day. I seek the beauty that I might otherwise overlook in an ordinary day. I see it in my home and my neighbourhood, on the way to work, in my wife and children, my patients and friends. And I look for opportunities to make the world a little better and a little happier each day. Expectations can disappoint you. When life is sailing smoothly, we can take it for granted and expect nothing to change, but when the wind changes and storms ensue, we’re blown away. When we work hard and expect what we deserve but don’t get it, we feel miserable. When we get sick, have accidents and run into

work, through thoughtful gifts and cards, comforting words, a helping hand, and countless acts of kindness. This was her secret to happiness: not to hoard the good things in life or hope for a perfect world, but to give the good from your own heart to make this a better world for others. Since Feb. 1, I’ve been sharing the insights I’ve learned from my patients, friends and family in A Hundred Days to Happiness. Each day, I’m posting one new insight on facebook.com/davidicus.wong, twitter.com/ DrDavidicusWong and my blog at davidicuswong. wordpress.com.

a trend of bad luck, we protest the unfairness of it all. If life is a game where the object is to get ahead and get as much as we want, we are all ultimate losers. We will lose all the money we earn and all the things we buy, and we will lose all that we love, because we will someday die. Change your expectations; change your life.

Lucky break for driver who forgot oil cap Ray & Tom Magliozzi

Dear Tom and Ray: I recently drove about a thousand miles without my oil cap. It’s a 2005 Toyota Sequoia, and I was off-road for about 10 days at the same time. When I got home, no oil cap! (Human error all the way.) I checked the oil, and it was good all the way to the “full” mark, and there’s no oil on top of the engine, or even on the underside of the hood. As I drove, I didn’t see any drop in oil pressure or hear any weird mechanical sounds, so I’m wondering what damage (if any) I might have done to the engine, driving all that way without a cap. I am changing the oil and filter today. Thanks for your answer, and yes, it is the first time I’ve ever done that, and the last! – Steve RAY: You are one lucky fellow, Steve. Mostly because of the particular car you own.

have to be extremely unlucky to have a piece of debris come up from the road and go precisely into that hole. It’d be like winning a game of quarters at 50 feet. RAY: Even if anything did get into the oil fill, it either would sit at the bottom of the pan and get drained out during your next oil change, or it would be caught by the oil screen or oil filter. TOM: So this appears to be your lucky week, Steve. You might want to go out and buy a few lottery tickets. ◆ Stop the madness! You can stop driving like a knucklehead, and you’ll help your car in the process. Learn how your driving habits can harm your car in Tom and Ray’s pamphlet, Ten Ways You May Be Ruining Your Car Without Even Knowing It!

TOM: On most cars these days, the oil cap is right on top of one of the valve covers. When the cap is off with the engine running, the oil blasts out of there like the last feeding blasts out of an infant who’s been tossed into the air repeatedly by his father.

You can lose half of your oil that way in a matter of hours.

Rebels beat Kelowna, back on top South boys avenge January loss to Owls at Beagle Tom Berridge sports editor

The Burnaby South Rebels are back in the No. 1 spot in provincial high school boys’ basketball following a win over the Kelowna Owls. The Rebels, still stinging from a loss to Kelowna at the Terry Fox Legal Beagle tournament last month that knocked them out of the top spot, defeated the host Owls 81-69 in the championship final at the Western Canada tourney on Saturday. South had held the No. 1 spot since the preseason until that meeting against Kelowna on Jan. 7. “Yeah, familiar ground,” remarked Rebel head coach Greg Matic on Monday. “When we walked into the dressing room to give them a pep talk, there was silence. They knew the purpose of the trip. They wanted to prove they were pretty good.” South left little doubt they were better than just pretty good, knocking over Alberta’s No. 1 Raymond High School 8166 in the semifinals behind Nick Irvine’s 22-point, 20rebound double-double. Kelowna upset former provincial No. 1 R.C. Palmer of Richmond 73-69 in the other semifinal. In the opening quarter of the tournament final,

Kevin Hill/burnaby now

A star is born: Burnaby South guard Manroop Clair, with ball, scored a total of 67 points and was named a first team all-star at the Canada West high school basketball tournament in Kelowna on Saturday.

South shot a blistering 75 per cent from the floor, but was lukewarm outside the arc and at the free throw line for much of the first half. South trailed the Owls 37-33 at the interval in front of an enemy crowd of approximately 2,000 partisan Kelowna supporters. “We are very much a second-half team,” Matic said. “We were missing tons of shots and were really tight, forcing things. But we felt good. They

played well, but we played well enough to win.” Tournament first team all-star Manroop Clair led all scorers with 28 points, including four three-pointers, for the Rebels. Tournament MVP Ater Degal potted 18 points, seven rebounds, six assists and four steals for South. Lazar Cuk was the difference maker in the final, said Matic, netting 15 points and nine boards, while Quentin Nguyen also chipped in with 10 for

the winners. South outscored the Owls 28-10 off turnovers, while also nailing 10 bombs from beyond the arc. The Rebels also got a key 25 points from players coming off the bench. The Rebels outscored Kelowna 48-32 in the second half, including 26-15 in the final quarter. In South’s semifinal matchup, Clair also garnered 19 points, while Degal and Daniel Edwards added 17 and 13 points,

respectively. Degal also posted five helpers and six thefts against the Raymond, Alta. school. South opened the eightteam Western Canada tourney with a 79-70 win over Kelvin High School from Winnipeg. Degal was South’s high man in the opener, nailing 23 points and seven assists. Clair chipped in with another 20 points. Bishop Grandin South Page 24

Burnaby sends contingent to Canada Games

Burnaby will send more than a dozen athletes and support workers to the upcoming Canada Winter Games in Halifax, beginning Friday. The Burnaby athletes named to Team B.C. include: Tamara Kuno and Briannah Tsang for artistic gymnastics; Clinton Wong in badminton; skip Daniel Wenzek in curling; Timothy Lum and Zhao Kai Pang in figure skating; Kimberly Newell in girls’ ice hockey; Gabriela de Sousa in judo; Courtney Knight in para-nordic skiing; and Shirley Fu and Mike Yue in table tennis. Two Northwest Giants players off the Burnabybased major midget hockey team, Sam Reinhart and Jackson Houck, will also be representing Team B.C. at the Games, which run from Feb. 11 to 27. Ross MacDonald will coach wheelchair basketball, while Aaron Lowe will coach figure skating. The Canada Games are held every two years, alternating between summer and winter. The athletes taking part are Canada’s next generation of national, international and Olympic champions. The first Games were held in Québec City in 1967.

Douglas to play good host to BCCAA badminton Tom Berridge sports editor

The Douglas College Royals are gunning for a sixth B.C. college provincial team badminton title, and where better else to do it than at home. Beginning Saturday, the Douglas David Lam campus will be the place to be for the finest in B.C. college badminton. The Royals are the No. 1 nationally ranked team in the country. They can expect to be pushed by No. 5 overall Kwantlen Polytechnical University and No. 9 Thompson Rivers University. Two other BCCAA schools, Langara College and Vancouver Island University are also ranked in the top 15. Capilano University

is also scheduled to take part in the six-team competition. “Two years ago we knew we were going to win four of five awards, we were seeded second, but won the provincials with a clean sweep. This year, yeah, I’d say the men’s doubles is where the landmine is. Anything could happen,” Douglas head coach Al Mawani said, adding both Langara and Kwantlen are formidable opponents in the men’s doubles. Douglas is all but assured of the women’s singles and doubles titles. Current Canadian college female badminton player of the month, RuiLin Huang, has yet to lose an individual match in three seasons at Douglas.

Huang, who will contest the women’s singles, is on a 36-game winning streak in provincial play and has lost just once, in team competition at the national level, giving the Burnaby athlete a record streak of more than 50 individual wins during her college career. Douglas’s doubles pairing of Melody Liang and Stephanie Ko are equally as tough to beat. Liang is hoping for a fifth consecutive national doubles title, while Ko has shared in the last three. Both Liang and Ko will graduate from Douglas at the end of the school year. Darren Hong, who teamed with Douglas graduate Alvin Lau for a silver in men’s doubles at the 2010 nationals, will look to

return to the nationals in doubles, this time with freshman Rey Wei as his partner. “I’m hoping Darren’s experience and four years of playing competitively on the national circuit brings a calmness to the team and leads us through,” Mawani said. Darren Cho will contest the mixed doubles with teammate Amy Leung at the provincials. Leung is a former national silver medallist in mixed doubles for Douglas. Douglas will not contest the men’s singles competition. “This is where the fun is. It’s fun. It’s a challenge to get your team above the others,” Mawani added. The team event will run all

day Saturday at the Lam campus in Coquitlam, beginning at 10:30 a.m. and running until about 5:30 p.m. Douglas has won the past five provincial team banners at the B.C. college championships. Individual round-robin events will take the stage on Sunday, starting at 9 a.m. with a probable finish time of 3 p.m. The top two seeded teams, Douglas and Kwantlen, will meet each other in all five disciplines at the end of the draw. The winners of each singles and doubles events will earn an individual berth to the CCAA nationals at Mount Allison University in New Brunswick March 3 to 5. The provincial runner-up in each division will also earn a wildcard to Sackville, N.B.

SFU BASKETBALL

Men win one, women drop two Justin Brown nailed a three-point trey with just 18 seconds left that gave Simon Fraser University an overtime win over St. Martin’s University. Brown led all scorers with 36 points in the Clan’s 95-92 victory over St. Martin’s in a Great Northwest conference men’s basketball game at home Feb. 3. Ricky Berry helped the home Clan force OT with a three-pointer of his own in the dying seconds of the game. Berry finished with 33 points for SFU. St. Martin’s guard Blake Poole led the Saints with 35 points and 21 rebounds. St. Martin’s led after the first half 45-39 and stretched that lead to 7968 with approximately four minutes left to play. But Berry and Brown hit back-to-back threes to

cut the Saints lead to two points. The Clan pair then teamed up again to force OT. Brown was fouled going to the hoop and sank both free throws. Berry then let fly his game-tying bomb after Zack Frehlick grabbed a critical rebound to gain back possession in the final seconds of the game. On Saturday, SFU dropped an 80-73 decision to Western Oregon at home. Berry had a teamhigh 25 points for the Clan, while Frehlick added 17. SFU travel to Alaska to face Anchorage and Fairbanks this week.

Too many TOs

The Clan women lost both of their conference matches last week. SFU lost 75-68 to Western Oregon on Saturday following a 70-62 defeat at home to St. Martin’s on

Thursday. SFU remained in the eighth and final GNAC playoff spot despite the two defeats. At home, the Clan committed 28 turnovers to see its conference record fall to 2-9. “We committed crucial turnovers at terrible times,” said SFU head coach Bruce Langford in a prepared release. “We have played out this scenario three times now where we have given away a game.” The Clan missed its final four shots of the second half and a free throw and a costly turnover in the waning minutes of play. Nayo Raincock-Ekunwe led all scorers with 23 points and 18 rebounds. On Saturday, Kristina Collins had a team-high 24 points, five assists and three steals.

Burnaby’s Tumai and Raymond Baptiste are siblings and not brothers as reported in Saturday’s Burnaby NOW. Tumai, a 14-year-old Moscrop Secondary student, won the girls’ A division flyweight title at the JuniorNationalTaekwondo championships, while younger brother Raymond took top spot in the boys’ bantamweight D division.

Here's How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must ﬁll each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can ﬁgure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

In June 1961 the company was started in the British American (B.A.) Oil Company Service Station, on the north west corner of Royal Oak and Imperial, which had 2 service bays and one gas pump island, run by a fellow by the name of Stu Taylor with Ron Crompton doing the mechanical work. In February 1962 Stu and Ron formed a company named Taylor & Crompton Automotive Ltd. For the next 3 years they worked to build the business up. At the end of that period there was an agreement reached for Ed Crompton

to purchase Stu Taylor’s shares. In 1965 the name was changed to Crompton Brothers Automotive Ltd. In the next couple of years B.A. Oil Company was bought out by Gulf Oil, and we became a Gulf Oil Service Station. Over the following 6 years the brothers worked some very long hours to form a productive business when low and behold, Gulf Oil and Royalite were purchased by PetroCanada Oil. As the Oil Companies started to go to self serve and the Oil company leases got higher Crompton Brothers built their shop at 5186 Imperial and moved into that building on April 1st.

1974. As the business continued to grow it was offered for sale in November 1990, and Crompton Brothers was purchased by Simon Chivers on April 1st. 1991. After 12 years Simon offered Crompton Brothers Ltd. for sale and, was purchased by Riaz Noorani on March 1st. of 2003. Mr. Noorani has been very successful in maintaining the tradition established in 1961 of customer service, integrity, as well as respecting old school values that this company was built on! R.W.
