Enhancements to Fraser Cemeterywill be considered as part of the 2011to 2015 capital budget process.

A Fraser Cemetery master planthat was conducted in 2002 examinedthe need for a range of options foraddressing the need for expansion ofcemetery services and the demandfor a range of affordable memorial-ization options.

Phase 1, done in 2006, saw theaddition of a columbarium that con-sists of 503 single niches and 36 dou-ble niches, an ossuary (a communaltank for ashes) and a water feature.

Phase 1 cost $955,000, but the cityestimates that when interment rightsfor all the niches in the columbarium

and ossuarium are sold, it will gener-ate net revenue of about $758,000.

A staff report states that cremationis the growing trend for the disposi-tion of human remains because of thescarcity of land at cemeteries, eco-nomics and environmental concerns.

The report notes that awarenessand sales of the columbarium hasgrown during the past few yearsand it’s projected the columbariumwill be sold out within the next fouryears.

The city recently introduced con-ceptual design to the public to getfeedback from residents about twoareas of the cemetery that are tar-geted for development:◗ A small columbarium with anoverhead structure, a water feature,benches and planters is proposed as

a Heritage Plaza near the centre ofthe east side of the cemetery, wherethe old washroom building used tobe located. This proposal is estimatedto cost $359,000 to build and to gen-erate revenues of $668,646 throughsales of niches in the columbarium.◗ An additional columbarium is pro-posed to replace an existing rockgarden, in an area just north of Phase1 of the columbarium.

Called Richmond II, this projectwould cost $905,000 to build andwould generate nearly $1.6 millionthrough the sale of columbariumniches.

New Westminster city coun-cil referred the Fraser Cemeteryenhancement project to its capitalbudget process.

Reports prepared by theSurgical Patient Registryfor health authorities andsurgeons will flag length-ening wait lists, as well aspeople who have waitedthe longest or who are in

the greatest need.The wait times website

is part of the province’sstrategy to improve surgi-cal access and reduce waittimes.

B.C. leads Canada inexceeding the benchmarksfor all priority areas: can-cer treatment, cardiac care,sight restoration and jointreplacement, according

to the report Wait TimesTables – A Comparisonby Province, 2010 by theCanadian Institute forHealth Information.

That report echoed the2009 Wait Times Alliancereport, in which only B.C.and Ontario received an Ain every category – radi-ology, hip, knees, cardiacand sight – when it came

TransLink is a train wreck.The management structure devised

by then-transportation minister KevinFalcon in 2004 has lurched from fund-ing crisis to funding crisis,buying and building likethere’s no tomorrow and thenpleading poverty when itcomes to day-to-day budget-ing.

The plans, unveiled last week, to payfor the Evergreen Line and the NorthFraser Perimeter Road are yet another

pile-up.Once again, the unelected TransLink

board emerged from a secret meetingto stick their whole spending plan onto

property tax rolls.Metro Vancouver mayors

know that property taxes arealready high, already growingand already earmarked for

mandatory big-dollar projects like solidwaste and sewage treatment plants, notto mention the everyday running oftheir municipalities.

TransLink seems oblivious to theserealities.

The funding of transportationshould be reconnected to the use oftransportation, through some combina-tion of gas tax, a vehicle levy and, yes,the tolling of some routes. Pillagingmunicipal budgets is not only unfair,it’s just not sustainable.

More importantly, though, the prov-ince needs to clean up its mess andreconnect the people who make theplans with the people who are going to

pay for them.This means doing away with the

TransLink cabal, who effectively holdthe region’s mayors for ransom by pro-ducing a fait accompli plan and onlygiving them an up-or-down vote. Thetaxpayers’ interests should be in theminds of planners at every stage, notjust at the very end.

The unelected board can’t keep try-ing to shift the funding responsibilitiesover to municipalities – it just doesn’twork.

Group homefunding down

There are many wonder-ful things about being theMLA for New Westminster,

chief among them the residents Iam honoured to meet.

At fundraisers for local char-ities, I am reminded again andagain that we are a caring com-munity.

Unfortunately, while thepeople of New Westminster tellme they place great importanceon caring for those who needassistance, there is only so muchthey can do when theB.C. Liberals have adifferent view.

I was as shockedas many of you whenI learned the government wasquietly slashing the funding forpeople with disabilities success-fully living in group homes.

The Ministry of SocialDevelopment has orderedCommunity Living B.C. – theagency responsible for carehomes and similar services formore than 12,700 adults – to cut$22 million from its budget.

In order to have funds for anexpected five per cent increase innext year’s service demand, theministry is asking current recipi-ents to pay for this with a reduc-tion in their funding. Men andwomen with developmental dis-abilities will be forced from theirhomes of many years in what iscalled a “service-level redesign”that is predicted to see at least 20group homes close.

As well, about 200 employeeshave been affected and, accord-

ing to the B.C. Governmentand Services Employees Union,about 100 men and women havealready lost their jobs.

Despite assurances last yearfrom former Social DevelopmentMinister Rich Coleman thatgroup home residents would notbe forced to move out of theirhomes if they or their familiesare opposed, that is exactly whatis happening.

Community Living B.C.recently confirmed that 19

group homes hadclosed up to the endof September, and itis likely the numberswill be much higher

by the end of the year.Imagine the trauma for

someone forced to move out ofa group home where he or shehas lived, built relationships andintegrated into the commun-ity for as long as 20 years. It isheartbreaking.

The Liberals seem much moreconcerned with slashing fund-ing than with the best interestof these vulnerable people. Theassessment process currentlyunderway ignores a resident’spast or future needs and dealsonly with their present situation.

The excellent care and sup-port they are now receiving intheir group home can result inmany residents being assessedas capable of living with a lowerlevel of services which in turnreduces the funding available to

Conflict policy overdueDear Editor:

Re: Trustee raises conflict question, The Record,Nov. 13.

It’s fascinating to watch the Herculean effortbeing made by trustees Michael Ewen, Lori Wattand James Janzen to stonewall the development ofa conflict of interest policy for the New Westminsterschool board.

If they’d put that much effort into getting a newhigh school built, we would have had one builtyears ago.

I strongly suspect I’m not the only person whofinds it shockingly negligent that a conflict ofinterest policy does not already exist for NewWestminster school trustees. Conflict of interest isan easily understood concept and one with a longhistory in the common law, not to mention the

School Act.Moreover, the New Westminster school board

passed a motion nearly a year ago to develop such apolicy. So where is it?

The motion didn’t call for anyone to reinvent thewheel or come up with a clever solution to a com-plex issue like climate change. The motion simplycalled for a conflict of interest policy; a basic, com-mon sense, garden variety conflict of interest policythat would ensure the integrity of public processesand place them above reproach.

Nevertheless, efforts to facilitate discussion ofthe conflict of interest question were voted downat the Nov. 9 school board meeting, notably by thesame trustees whose potential conflicts are underquestion. Why?

And what agenda is being served by inhib-iting the implementation of a policy that

unequivocally spells out what constitutes aconflict of interest for trustees?

Section 56 of the School Act, whichaddresses conflict of interest for schooltrustees, states clearly that “a trustee hasan indirect pecuniary interest in any matterin which the board is concerned if … thetrustee … is in the employment of a personor firm that has a pecuniary interest in thematter.”

If Watt is not absenting herself fromdiscussions involving CUPE, it represents aflagrant conflict of interest on her part.

However, it would not be the first timeshe has failed to recognize the most basicelements of conflict of interest: Watt has alsobeen attempting to further a major nationalpolicy objective of CUPE by seeking to banbottled water (as opposed to all bottled bev-erages) in the district.

Conflict of interest is not a complicatedconcept. And for school trustees, it’s spelledout very clearly in the School Act. So I’m leftwondering what part of conflict of interestdo some people not seem to get?

Op-ed misses the pointDear Editor:

Your dreadful and misleading op-ed

(Don’t confuse criticism with anti-Semitism,The Record, Nov. 13) draped in the flag offree speech, missed the point of the OttawaProtocol entirely and, in the process, gavelicence to anti-Semitic rhetoric.

It is a sloppy rant that insults world lead-ers combating rising global anti-Semitism.

The whole premise of the article is bogus,i.e. that Stephen Harper is confusing anti-Semitism with legitimate political debate.Absurd.

Readers should know that the exact pur-pose of the internationally authored OttawaProtocol is to clearly delineate abhorrenthate-speech from appropriate criticism.Canada’s support of the document is to beapplauded, not ridiculed.

Anti-Semitism is a uniquely insidiousand dangerous form of prejudice. Yourpaper glaringly omitted this point andinstead cast a cloud of suspicion aroundthose taking a stand against an ancient evil.

Curiously, to support your paper’suntenable position, you resort to the stan-dard device typical of anti-Semitic rhetoric:the conspiracy theory. You paint a sinisterpicture of “bizarre hype” emanating froma secretive “ad hoc group of MPs” floating“questionable” statements. You even sug-gest there is a secret agenda to control themedia.

And we all know who is out to controlthe media, right?

Watchdog: Disabled adults need onethem and makes it impos-sible for them to continueto live in the group home.This is incredibly short-sighted, given that adultswith development dis-abilities require stability intheir lives and a traumaticmove may result in nega-tive consequences.

Families have toldme they have not beenconsulted and that now,after an inadequate needsassessment, their lovedones have no choice but toleave group homes againsttheir will.

Families point out thatresidents of group homeshave the benefit of supportworkers and the compan-ionship of other residents.Moving into individualliving arrangements couldmean isolation and reducedservices.

New Westminster resi-dent Andrew Latta worriesthat his 48-year-old sisterSusan, who has Down syn-drome and other challen-ges, will be forced to leaveher home of 20 years.

“She’s very, very happy,very well served and shewouldn’t be doing as wellas she would without theservices and supportsshe’s getting,” he told theCoquitlam NOW news-paper. “What the govern-ment is about to do is kickher out of her home, takeaway all those services, andit’s going to be devastatingto her life.”

Mary Jo and Peter Daweof New Westminster havethe same concerns aboutMichael, who has lived inthe same group home for14 years, since the age of18. The three residents arelike family, they say.

I wonder what hap-pens to the people withdevelopmental disabilitieswho don’t have someoneto speak up for them. Willthey be shuffled into a set-ting where they may spendtheir time alone withoutstaff members trained tohelp them live a full andhappy life?

I agree with AlannaHendren, executive direc-tor of the Developmental

Disabilities Association,that it is time this prov-ince has an independentwatchdog with a mandateto look out for disabledadults in the same way thatChildren’s RepresentativeMary Ellen Turpel-Lafondprotects the interests ofchildren.

I fear that despite car-ing staff who want onlythe best for their residents,some men and womenwith developmental dis-abilities are going to fallthrough the cracks. Anadvocate could bring thesecases to the public’s atten-tion.

In an effort to save $22million, the Liberal govern-ment is hurting disabledresidents in our communityand throughout the prov-ince.

As a society, we will bejudged on how we carefor our most vulnerableresidents. This is a time tospeak out for those whocannot easily speak forthemselves.

A developer has received permissionto buy an uptown lane but now needs adevelopment permit to pave the way forits new commercial development.

Canacemal Investments, owners ofWestminster Centre, purchased504 and 508 Sixth Ave. TheUptown Property Group, thecompany’s development arm,has been talking to the city aboutits proposed short- and long-termredevelopment of the properties.

The company’s short-termgoal, said a staff report, is to builda three-storey plus penthousecommercial building on the newproperty that would be known as500 Sixth Ave. It is proposing toprovide underground off-streetparking for the building, with access tobe from the adjacent existing WestminsterCentre mall underground parking area.

“This would be accomplished by pur-chasing, from the city, the lane between theSixth Avenue properties and the mall andconstructing underground parking underthe lane and the proposed new building,”said the report. “There will be no vehicleaccess to the underground parking onSixth Avenue from 500 Sixth Ave.”

Following a public hearing on Oct. 18,

council approved a road closing and landsale authorization bylaw.

Mayor Wayne Wright said the city hasnothing to worry about regarding sell-ing the portion of the lane to CanacemalInvestments because the city has anextremely strong relationship with thecompany, and the city is protected by legal

covenants.A staff report stated that a real

estate appraisal company hasdeemed the market value for theland to be $53,000. In addition tobuying a portion of the lane, theUptown Property Group wouldpay any legal fees accrued by thecity’s solicitors.

In order for the project to pro-ceed as planned, the developerrequires a development permit tobuild in the C-6 Central BusinessDistrict zone.

“The project requires variances to reducethe easterly side setback to zero, to reducethe required parking to 48 spaces andto allow one of the parking spaces to bewithin the 15-foot side setback and allowa height of 54 feet on the easterly 65 feetof the property,” said a staff report. “Staffbelieve that these variances are reasonableand will provide the buffer anticipated bythe zoning of the site. The project is welldesigned and will benefit the neighbour-hood.”

A four-storey apartmentbuilding is being proposedfor a Sapperton neighbour-hood near East ColumbiaStreet.

The city has received anapplication to build a four-storey apartment buildingwith 25 two-bedroom unitsat 309, 311 and 315 Ward St.The site is currently occu-pied by three houses.

The city’s design panelreviewed two proposals forthe site – one with a flatroof and one with a slop-ing roof.

A staff report noted thatthe neighbourhood hasindicated a desire to seea more “village” type ofapproach to architecture ofthis project, which wouldindicate a sloped roofbuilding. The city’s designpanel, however, supporteda flat-roof approach for thesite development.

Jim Hurst, a develop-ment planner with the city,said the design panel wasconcerned that neighbours’views would be impact-ed and shading from thesun would be a concern ifthe building had a slopedroof. While some people

feel that buildings shouldhave more of a village typefeeling, such as that beingproposed at the BreweryDistrict at the formerLabatt’s site, Hurst saidthat’s not going to happenovernight.

“The buildings aroundthere are going to be aroundfor another 30, 40 or 50years,” he said about theWard Street site. “I don’tthink a lot of the buildingsare going to change veryquickly.”

A public hearing onthe issue is scheduled forMonday, Nov. 22 in councilchambers.

The $4,000-plus dona-tion comes from the pubdonating half of theirThursday sales to prostatecancer research. In addi-tion, the pub gave away ahumidor and five cigars,which tied in with the Motheme.

As for Saran, his home-grown ‘stache is so poorthat his staff have a varietyof fake moustaches for himto try on a daily basis.

“They’ve had me gowith the full ‘trucker’ look,and I look pretty silly,”said Saran. “When my wifelooks at what’s on my face,she wants to throw me outof the house. … It’s all for agood cause, and we raiseda lot of money for prostatecancer.”

with each person gettinga mat, pillow and blanket,but it’s a welcome respitefrom the biting cold out-side.

Finding beds for all thecity’s homeless is alwaysa challenge. While theSalvation Army catersmostly to men – womenare also welcome – womenalso have the ElizabethFry shelter in Sappertonand children youngerthan 19 have the PurposeSociety in downtown NewWestminster as a refuge,according to Macpherson.

“We don’t turn peopleaway,” said Macpherson.“If we don’t have room oryou’re younger than 19, wedo try and find an appro-priate place for them tostay.”

With this weekend’s

forecast of snow and coldtemperatures – includinga forecast for a prolongedstretch of below freezingtemperatures next week– Macpherson said heexpects to be as busy as in2008.

“We were open for 50-plus days that year, andif the weather forecast forthis year is true, we may beup to those numbers thisyear,” said Macpherson.

People who use the shel-ter get a meal each night,along with a small break-fast in the morning.

This year, Macphersonand the Salvation Armyhave partnered with theRiver’s Reach Pub, locatedacross the street, to provide

the shelter with food leftover from the day’s busi-ness.

“The staff at (River’s)Reach are very good at help-ing out, and they’re verysupportive of everythingwe do,” said Macpherson.

“Last year, we dida penny drive for theSalvation Army, and thatraised more than $6,000,”said River’s Reach daymanager Peter Saran. “Thisyear, we wanted to dosomething different, anddonating our leftover foodwas one way to help.

“We’re also going to bedoing something in thenext couple of weeks wherewe donate two big turkeys,a big box of mashed pota-

toes and other food for theSalvation Army. … They’reour neighbour so we wantto try and help them wher-ever we can.”

That help is music to theears of Macpherson, whoalso makes sure that peoplewho need winter gear, suchas dry socks, toques, coatsand mittens, get them.

“We’re always look-ing for donations of thoseitems,” said Macpherson.“There are always peoplewho need them.”

Extreme weather bedsare different from emer-gency shelters, which pro-vide homeless people withshelter, food and supportservices, and operate allyear.

Making music – and musical instru-ments – has proven to be a rewardingexperience for some of the folks at Queen’sPark Care Centre.

Each Friday, a group of the residentsmeets in the centre’s music therapy roomto make musical instruments from kitsordered from Minnesota. The group willbe selling some of the instruments they’vemade, as well as some music boxes, at itsannual sale on Nov. 25 and 26 from 9:30a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the lobby of Queen’sPark Care Centre.

“We have a banjo, a beautiful oval harp.We have several wood ukuleles and sev-eral cigar box ukuleles – it is an old-fash-ioned kind of thing,” said Jeremie Tucker,music therapist. “We have some beautifullap harps.”

The sale will also feature some strum-blies, which is like a guitar – only lighterand easier to play.

“You hold them like a guitar. They arelittle and sleek,” Tucker said. “We havea 77-string hammered dulcimer. It has77 stings – you play it with these littlehammers. We have a couple of traditionaldulcimers.”

Copper wind chimes and music boxes

will also be available at the sale. Items willrange between $5 (music boxes) to $200.One instrument sold for $350 at last year’ssale.

The 2009 sale raised $1,300, which getsreinvested in the program.

“It goes for more kits,” Tucker said.“They love doing this. It gives them asense of accomplishment. There is a com-munity feeling around the table.”

Tucker compared the musical instru-ment-making sessions to quilt-makinggroups of the past.

“I think it is the only one in Canada,” sheadded. “I am pretty sure this is unique.”

The group, which consists of people

into their 90s, enjoy their musical instru-ment making meetings so much that theyoften don’t want to leave. Six to eightpeople usually participate, and a handfulof others often watch.

The musical instrument making meet-ings start and end with singing – and par-ticipants make some beautiful instrumentsin between. The music therapy departmentoffers music on all three floors of Queen’sPark Care Centre, including its extendedcare, hospice and adult day units.

Queen’s Park Care Centre is located at315 McBride Blvd. People attending thesale are reminded that the parking lot haspay parking.

“It comes with its ownset of armour for protec-tion from predators. It haswhisker-like barbels thathelp it find its food in thesilty waters of the FraserRiver. It is extremely welladapted to life in theFraser River. It is a giantfish that has survived formillions of years, but nowit is an endangered spe-cies.”

In 1993, approximately34 large adult sturgeonwashed up on the shoresof the Fraser River nearNew Westminster, and noone could identify whythey died. The followingyear, First Nations people,conservationists and thegovernment came togeth-er to ban sturgeon fishingfor harvest.

WE ALSO OFFER:

The story of theFraser River is onethat draws our atten-

tion whether we are read-ing about its history, look-ing out over it from somevantage point, or standinga few metres from its siltcoloured waters.

Being close to the river,it is easy to imagine those

who have marvelled atand feared its strength:First Nations, explorers,prospectors, travellers,homesteaders, tourists andlocal residents.

At its mouth, the riverflows peacefully along tojoin the waters of the Gulfof Georgia, the river’splume of light brownsediment often showingits effect across the openwater seemingly all theway to the Gulf Islands.

At its start near Mt.Robson, the Fraser is aclear babbling stream,then picks up momentumand runs 1,375 kilometresto the coast, at times ina broad calm expanse, at

times through a frighten-ingly narrow channel.

There are many placesalong its route where theFraser roars and crashes asit forces its way throughgorges of rock or erodedhillside. The central partof the Fraser Canyon, formany people this is theriver at its best – danger-ously violent, but captivat-ingly picturesque – blend-ing awe-inspiring sightswith deafening sounds.

Rafting down theFraser and through Hell’sGate means seeing manyfaces of the river rangingfrom relatively placid,albeit fast moving, tooverwhelmingly tumul-

tuous and frightening.The feeling of exhilara-tion when you are safelythrough this part of thecanyon is amazing in itsown right.

While in the canyon,you can look up to hill-sides and canyon wallsand imagine the people ofthe First Nations, explor-ers and gold seekers asthey moved along trailsand almost non-exist-ent pathways. The rivercanyons, by water or byfoot, offer great historicalinspiration and a feast forthe imagination.

Photographs of thiswaterway include manydifferent scenes, qualities,

and colours, as there areso many factors that playupon the camera.

Old black-and-whitephotos of the river allowus to see the simple riverfeatures, as well as otherdetails of the scene atthe moment the shutteropened.

Colour photos addreflections of the sky inthe water, the darknessof the forests, the flatnessof the rocks and hillsides– all mixed together. Butalways, the river domin-ates and can change col-our from one instant tothe next.

The Fraser River has agreat story that demands

to be told emphatically inwords and pictures, withthe images often takingthe lead role.

Coming up onThursday, Nov. 25, from 7to 8:30 p.m., at the FraserRiver Discovery Centre,Westminster Quay, we willbe presenting a selectionof our Fraser River images– old and new views– blended, of course, withmany stories.

Come along on anhistorical trip to seesome river photographs.Program is by donationand there will be lightrefreshments. For moreinformation, visit www.fraserriverdiscovery.org.

Meet the Luksuns.The family has 26

members, most locatedin Burnaby, and all havea special attachment toBurnaby Hospital.

On Nov. 9, 11 fam-ily members took partin a photo shoot on theMetropolis Express to helppromote the hospital’scurrent fundraising cam-paign.

“We’ve always beenreally happy with the carewe received there,” saysMiranda McNamara, thegranddaughter of Ellenand Ford Luksun, whohelped organize the photosession.

McNamara currentlylives with herfamily in NewWestminster,while themajority of theLuksuns live inBurnaby. A fewfamily mem-bers live inVancouver, sheadds, and onein Port Moody.

Ellen andFord broughtthe family toBurnaby in1969 fromKrugersdorp,South Africa.The couple hadfour daughters– Ivy, Gloria, Grace andPearl – and a son, BasilLuksun, who is the city’splanning and buildingdirector. There are now11 grandchildren and twogreat-grandchildren in thefamily.

“Thehospitalhasalwaysbeen really good to ourfamily,” says McNamara,eldest of the grandchil-dren. Her daughter wasborn at the hospital, andMcNamara went to thediabetes clinic when shewas pregnant, she adds.

Hospital staff also pro-vided additional care tothe family when Ellenwas hospitalized overChristmas in 2008, aftersuffering a heart attack.

The family was verydistressed, as they alwaysspent Christmas dinnertogether, Ivy Chan, Ellenand Ford’s daughter, saysin a phone interview fromBoston, Massachusetts.Chan,wholivesinBurnaby,was visiting her son whois studying in Boston. Thefamily spoke with Dr. JohnMartyn, who was cover-ing for Ellen’s regular doc-tor, about holding a familyChristmas in the cafeteria.

However, Ellen wason heart monitors, whichmade this impossible. SoDr. Martyn offered thefamily use of a conferenceroom in the cardiac unitinstead.

“Dad was reallytouched,” Chan says.“They’d been married72 years, and he told her(Ellen), I didn’t want aChristmas dinner withoutyou beside me.”

About 20 family mem-bers, and any nurses thatwere away from theirown family Christmasesthat night, gatheredfor what would beEllen’s last Christmas.She passed away thefollowing summer.

The hospital has caredfor both of her parents,Chan says.

“The hospital means alot to us.”

The family made adonation to the hospital

in 2009 andalso took partin the hospitalf o u n d a t i o n ’ smost recentfundraiser.

The foun-dation is tak-ing part inMetropolis atM e t r o t o w n ’ snew fundrais-ing programthis fall, whichhas four localn o n - p r o f i t seach receiv-ing the profitsfrom the trainat the mall for amonth.

Autumn is indeed a ‘purrfect’ time tocheck out the local shelters for a newcompanion at Royal City HumaneSociety (www.rchs.bc.ca; FacebookRoyal City Humane) or the NewWestminster Animal Shelter (www.newwestcity.ca/residents/residents_services/animal_services).Adopting in November means longerevenings and more time to enjoygiving tummy rubs. It also meansthe pet will have time to settle inbefore the annual winter parties and

celebrations begin. Should you doa lot of entertaining, ensure that yourpet has a quiet place to retreat. Theymay not appreciate all your friends asmuch as you do.A special reminder: In their search tokeep warm outdoors, small animals,such as cats, often take refuge nextto a warm car engine or tire. Alwaysslap or bang your hood before youstart your car.

ZeldaTwo years old andtotally tortie, thisgirl is playful andenjoys humansocial interaction.She was foundup a tree in early

October and was thankfully scooped up torescuers before the coyotes spotted her.

The power behind believingThey look like pixies

as they dance on narrowwooden beams and seem-ingly float effortlesslythrough the air.

But the calloused palmsof teenage Burnaby gym-nast Briannah Tsang tell adifferent story.

“There was a time Ithought I couldn’t do thisanymore and I really want-ed to quit. But my momsaid to just keep going andI could get through this,”said Tsang.

That was three yearsago. Since then, the Grade 9Burnaby North Secondarystudent is quite possiblyonly a year or two awayfrom joining an elite fewwho will make it to thesenior national level.

Tsang has alreadyearned a spot on theCanadian national juniorartistic gymnastics teamand is the recipient ofthree consecutive provin-cial gymnast of the yearawards.

The latest wasbeing named the KateRichardson outstandingfemale athlete of the yearat the Gymnastics B.C.annual awards banquetlast month.

“I was pretty surprisedbecause I thought some-one else would win it. Sothat came as a bit of ashock,” Tsang said.

Those other someoneswere Omega GymnasticsAcademy teammate ShaeZamardi and Taylor Ricciof Flicka Gymnastics.

All three finished in thetop eight at the Canadianjunior championships inKamloops in May.

Tsang placed seventhin the all-around at thenationals, while also quali-fying on three separateindividual apparatus.

There, she won gold inthe individual vault and asilver medal in floor exer-cises, while also finishingseventh on uneven bars.

“Well, like everykid, your dream is theOlympics, I guess,” saidTsang. “It’s still my dream,but I would like to get ascholarship with a univer-sity in the States.”

Both are very real pos-sibilities for the powerful

14-year-old.In 2007, Tsang stood

on the podium in her firsthigh-profile level appear-ance at the national cham-pionships, winning thefloor in the national novicedivision.

The following year, she

took top spot in the vaultat the Elite Canada com-petition.

Last year, Tsang domi-nated the Elite Canadacompetition at the juniornational level, winningboth the individual floorand vault, while also plac-ing runner-up on bars. Shealso took the overall bronzemedal in the all-around atthe elite competition.

“It’s like amazing andexciting,” Tsang said. “It’skind of like I can’t believeI did it.”

Despite the highs, gym-nastics also has its lows,says Tsang.

The sport she says isone where personal doubtshave a direct bearing onsuccess or failure.

“Everyonedoubtsthem-selves,” she said. “It’s theones who can persevere,even when it’s tough. … Asyou go higher in the levels,(gymnasts) either quit orgo to the lower levels, soyou know (the others) aretough, when they’re still ata high level.”

She says committing totraining for up to 30 hours,six days a week, year afteryear is taxing on youngathletes.

“But I thought, whydid I spend so much timedoing this just to give up.I’m happy I made thatdecision,” Tsang said.Gymnasts has also helpedher believe in herself.

She says many gymnas-tics are probably capableof performing at a levelhigher than they realize.

The error, she says isnot believing you can in asport that allows few sec-ond chances.

“It’s more letting your-self down. You know youcan do it. You just couldn’tdo it at that moment,” shesaid.

“But it is your fault. It’slike, why didn’t I do that?It’s something you wantto turn back time and doagain, but you can’t.”

Tsang has one moreyear of junior before she

VolleyVikingslose to

comebackGriffins

BY TOM BERRIDGE SPORTS [email protected]

The Burnaby NorthVikings lost a heartbreak-ing final at the LowerMainland AAA boys’ vol-leyball championships.

The district championsfell in a five-set tiebreakerto upstart wild card quali-fier Eric Hamber Griffinsin the provincial qualifyingfinal at St. George’s SchoolWednesday.

Leading 2-0 in the finalgame, North was forcedto sit out star power hitterPreston Wong with a mus-cle cramp for most of thenext two sets, allowing theVancouver No. 4 seed tomount a comeback rally.

Hamber claimed theNo. 1 Mainland seed witha 23-25, 21-25, 25-17, 25-20,15-11 score.

“That was the biggestdifference,” said fourth-year North coach AaronLock.

In the final tiebreaker,the Vikings fell behind8-3 at the interval butWong, clearly slowed bythe cramp, still managedto rally North to within apoint of Hamber.

Trailing 10-5, Northbroke back, picking upfour points on Wong’s ser-vice and three back-courtkills. But it wasn’t enough.

North upset B.C. No.7-ranked VancouverTechnical in five sets toadvance to the Mainlandfinal.

Wong contributed morethan 30 winning attacks tothe final score.

The Vikes also got bya stubborn Burnaby Southin four sets in the quarter-final.

It was the North boys’fourth city championshipand fourth straight appear-ance at the high schoolprovincials.

Now what is importantis just where the honour-able mention Vikings willbe seeded at the B.C.s, saidLock.

“That first round is thehardest to got out of. Theplacement is very impor-tant, especially whenyou’ve been ranked top 10all year,” Lock said.

The high school boys’AAA provincials take placeat the UBC Okanagan cam-pus in Kelowna from Nov.30 to Dec. 4.

Linebacker Casey Chin had 10tackles in the final regular sea-son game for the Simon FraserUniversity varsity football team.

Chin, a New WestminsterSecondary grad, placed sixth inteam tackling, contributing 28 solostops and 39 in total, includingone sack in seven league games.

The varsity Clan ended itsfirst Great Northwest Athletic

Conference season without a win.The Clan lost 66-20 to the

Humboldt State UniversityLumberjacks in Arcata, Californiain the final regular season gameNov. 13.

SFU gave up 28 first-quarterpoints and never recovered againsta Humboldt offence that rolled up548 total yards, including morethan 350 yards on the ground.

Lumberjack running backLyndon Rowells rushed for fivetouchdowns, while Clan quar-terback Greg Bowcott threw fourinterceptions, one which wasreturned 25 yards for a score.

SFU running back Gabe Ephardfinished off the season well, rush-ing for 170 yards, while adding apair of receptions for 58 additionalyards.

Ephard finished second inconference rushing with 941 totalyards, tying teammate Bo Palmerwith 6.1 yards per carry just behindthat of rushing leader Rowells,who had 6.2 yards a carry.

Bowcott ran in two TDs for theClan. Ephard plunged over theline from four yards out late in thefourth quarter for the other SFUscore.

RCCC skipsto Games

Daniel Wenzek curledhis way to a berth in theCanada Winter Games.

The 15-year-old formerRoyal City Curling Clubskip, who attends theEsquimalt High SchoolCurling Academy, alongwith third Nolan Reid,second Max Langlais, andlead Calvin Heels, stoletheir way to victory at theGames qualifying bonspiellast weekend in Vernon.

Tied 3-3 without lastrock, playing the last endof the final against BradyUrsel of Vernon, Wenzekdrew top button and inchedhis rock behind overlappedstones on the top eight-footcircle.

Ursel’s hammer shotwas heavy, and Wenzekwon 5-3, earning a tripto the Canada Games inHalifax, Feb. 11-27.

With all three of histeammates sweeping theline, the finish was perfect,although the final resultwas somewhat unexpect-ed.

“I thought it was lightand inside ... it felt goodwhen it landed,” saidWenzek.

The three other teams atthe qualifier had all med-alled at the B.C. WinterGames last season, but, ina new twist this year, CurlB.C. added a backdoorqualifier, which Wenzekwon two weeks ago inCloverdale.

It was the first timeWenzek’s team had curledtogether, and except forhaving a connection toWenzek, none of the othersknew each other.

“Our team was kindof put together at the lastminute,” said Reid, a 17-year-old from Duncan.

In the four-team roundrobin, their only loss was toUrsel, whose grandfatherJim Ursel, a Brier cham-pion, and dad Bob Ursel,a three-time B.C. champ,watched from behind theglass.

“Daniel did fantastic,”coach Cindy Tucker said.“For him to have that kindof composure was verycool to see.”

Bitter or Grateful?This article is by Chris Newell, Career Coachand Facilitator with Transitions Career &Business Consultants.When I was quite young, I remember hearing a

lot of negativity concerning work, money and bills, such as: “you haveto work to survive, nobody likes their work”; “money is a necessaryevil”; and “bills, bills, bills” (exasperated tone here).I wondered what made working such a bad experience for people thatthey were miserable so much of the time. What was the point in goingto a job they didn’t like to earn money that they were resentful aboutspending, and then spend the rest of the time complaining about itall? It seemed depressing to spend one’s whole life feeling so bitterabout this whole process and about something that is a huge part oflife, given that we all need to make a living and pay bills. Life is justtoo short!So, I went on a quest to find another way of living and working in a morepositive, purposeful and productive way. I read books, such as: WhatColour is My Parachute?” and I experimented with different types ofjobs, either by working in that area, or by taking courses or volunteeringto learn more about it. After much exploring (almost 18 years), I foundmy ideal career, which allows me to feel grateful, not bitter, about goingto work and generating enough money to pay my bills (and for me, billsmean I have something such as a home or car that I can even pay for).These last 13 years, I’ve had a positive experience surrounding workand life because of never giving up my quest to find a satisfying career.I feel grateful, not bitter. How about you?For help finding the work you love, call Transitions Career & BusinessConsultants, coordinators of The Transitions Program, a free 3-weekcareer exploration program available to all unemployed people at604-434-1177 or 604-681-2774.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Nov. 21 - Nov. 27★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: A month of mellowunderstanding, gentle love, intellectual pursuits,legal, travel, cultural and religious involvementsbegins Monday morning. As your planet (Mars) is inthis same area until early December, the first twoweeks of this period will be intense, memorableand “high stakes.” You could fall in love, engage ina major lawsuit, travel afar – something unusual, aonce-in-a-decade thing. Be honest, true-hearted; ifyou are not, the rest of December, into January, couldbring retribution from higher-ups. Someone is readyfor love with you. You’re romantic, Friday/Saturday!Taurus April 20-May 20: The weeks aheadaccent depths, mysteries, investments and debts,lust, lifestyle changes, health diagnosis and cures.Your subconscious desires swell to the surface. Abig decision or commitment might be demanded ofyou. For the next two weeks, these matters are moreintense, more “impatient” than usual – and mightalso have more “strings attached” than is healthy. Becautious, don’t be rushed into a situation or promise.Chase money Sunday to Tuesday – luck’s mixed, sobe alert. Errands, paperwork, casual friends frustrateWednesday, succeed Thursday. Home, family Fridayonward.Gemini May 21-June 20: Drudgery ends, freshhorizons blow in, now to late December. A “quiet”relationship might take off like a rocket, or a newone begin. Links, confrontations, opportunities,challenges, competition, enmity, attraction – all growintense. But in all the intensity, even in enmity, thereis a definite streak of friendship, buoyancy and hope.A mingling effect can occur – e.g., love/hate, oryou might become “best enemies.” Relocation andbusiness/fame opportunities arise.Maturity, flexibility,diplomacy and an eagerness to join are your successtools. You’re energetic, charming this week!

Cancer June 21-July 22: Work and health issuesloom large for the next four weeks. These are mostintense to Dec. 7, as work swells and the stakesrise in your reputation and career zones. A workingpartnership might be volatile, but if you can keeptempers level, a splendid success is possible.Rest, withdraw to plan and contemplate Sunday toTuesday eve. Midweek, your energy and charismastep up a notch – start projects, tasks. Chasemoney, or spend, Friday/Saturday. This month aheadwill favour machinery. This week, buy it Friday,but watch for electrical/tech faults. Romance?Next week.Leo July 23-Aug. 22: The weeks ahead offerromance, pleasure, beauty, creative surges andspeculative urges.This is your time to accent your owndesires, to take a chance on your talents – to expandand express yourself! A semi-romantic relationshipcould take off with fireworks the first two weeks, or anew, intense romance could spark. However, neitherof these is likely to emerge into a stable marriage.You might wed, swiftly and impulsively, but createhuge tensions as a result. Be patient. 2011 is yourtime. Your hopes, popularity soar early week. Rest,midweek. You shine, Friday/Saturday!Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Home, children, diet,nutrition, Mother Nature, gardening, parks, rest,hibernation, security, real estate – these form your“best world” for the month ahead. You might invest inproperty, or renovate or improve your present abode,especially over the immediate two weeks ahead.That’s good, BUT be aware of two “unforeseens”– 1) an unpredictable reaction by your mate, and/or2) electrical issues. Make sure both are “settled”before you begin. You’ve had a bit of a wild ride inrelationships over the last seven years. Decide nowwith whom you’ll go to the future.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: The weeks aheadfeature travel, paperwork, errands, details, casualacquaintances and siblings, and communications.Usually this would be a fine time to buy phones,computers, etc. – but lemons lurk until Dec. 7 (andto some degree until March 2011) so delay suchpurchases if you can. As in the last few weeks, youmight meet a “viable” potential mate while travellingor talking. But here, too, glitches exist – long-termtension and/or an unpredictable relationship. Patience,Libra – real love’s coming! Enjoyment, happinessabound this week! Be ambitious Thursday (morningbest).Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: The month aheademphasizesmoney,possessions,sensual involvementsand memory or rote learning. (This is always your best30 days of the year tomemorize anything – vocabulary,foreign languages, math techniques, etc.) Sensual= anything from good drapes, beautiful paintings, tosomeone’s closeness. Buy/sell, seek new clients, askfor a pay raise. BUT in all this, go slow before Dec. 8,as pitfalls exist. E.g., you might get too sensual andalienate a romantic prospect, or push too fast for a payraise and spark tension. Love, legal, intellectual, travelsuccess Thursday!Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Your energy, charismaand effectiveness rise now through December! Yoursexual magnetism, determination and “wilfulness”have already grown over the last few weeks – nowthese increase also. Start new projects, ask favours,see and be seen, attend “in person,” get your way,negotiate – you’re in charge! But, especially untilDec. 7, don’t recklessly overpower other’s needs,desires and sensibilities, or you could create “invisiblerebellions” that erupt later, just when you need allies.This week’s happy. Financial, sexual luck soarsThursday! Love, wisdom Friday/Saturday.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Take a break. Duringthe four weeks ahead, rest, contemplate and plan.Your energy will ebb. Attend to government-relatedtasks, institutional and charitable involvements. Fulfilobligations, but don’t volunteer for new ones. Avoidthe spotlight. Avoid places where belligerent peoplegather – bars, dark alleys. Chores call Sunday toTuesday – get them done. Relationships face youTuesday eve through Thursday – be diplomatic, evenevasive before Thursday. True friends, real loves,show Thursday. Mysteries, big finances, lifestyledecisions come Friday/Saturday – good results!Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Friends, popularity, wishfulfilment, optimism, flirtation and happiness visit forthe next few weeks! You might face an unexpecteddilemma in which your money and your wishes don’tagree, and you might have to choose one. Pick thedream – maybe you can accomplish it for less. Youmight discover that the person you “possess” doesn’tmix well with your friends. Choose friends – but don’tlisten to friends’ advice about money. Romance,flirtation, pleasure, a risk-taking mood buoy youSunday to Tuesday. Tackle chores midweek. Excitingmeetings Friday/Saturday – forgo eccentricity.Pisces Feb.19-March20:Yourcareer,neighbourhoodprestige, relations with parents and bosses, areemphasized for the month ahead. I’ve already warnedyou that bosses are temperamental. That continuesto Dec. 7, so be diplomatic, good-humoured. Expectunexpected reactions, results! Hustle to performtasks, to meet deadlines. Bosses love eager screw-ups more than competent grouches. (In some fields,engineering, math, medicine, Pisces are truly favourednow.) Sink into “domestic rejuvenation” early week.Creative, romantic success Thursday. Tackle choresFriday/Saturday – practise safety Saturday.
