After Eileen Sue’s hus-band Paul was diagnosedwith aplastic anemia in2004, she became awareof the dire need for stemcell donors throughout theworld.
Sue attended the firstThanks Mom! stem cellawareness campaign –headed by former LiberalMLA Sindi Hawkins, whopassed away last fall – in2006.
She was determined tohold another.
The second ThanksMom! event is taking placein Burnaby, where muchof the Vancouver resident’sfamily lives.
The concept behind theevent is giving back whatyour mother gave you –life, she says.
“Mothers are revered inall cultures,” Sue says. “Wewanted to reach out to allCanadians.”
The multi-ethnic stemcell drive is scheduled forMay 7 at the grand court inMetrotown at Metropolisfrom 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Those interested in regis-tering with One Match stemcell and marrow donor net-work will have DNA takenvia a swab from the insideof their cheek.

Sick of dogs: Alan James stands at Charles Rummel Park, where some people consider off-leash dogs a problem. James wants a full-timeranger to enforce the leash bylaw at Burnaby’s parks.

Fragile habitat is going to the dogs
A Burnaby environmentalist is worriedoff leash dogs could pose a threat to fish andother wildlife in the city’s conservation areas,particularly around Eagle Creek.
City signs stating that leashes are requiredare not easily noticeable, said Alan James,secretary for the Stoney Creek EnvironmentCommittee, who has spoken to dog owners atlocal parks about whether or not they’re awareof the bylaw.
“We need better signs,” he said.Some assume they just have to keep their
dogs under control, James said, instead of ona leash.
“I often see dogs in the creek,” he said ofEagle Creek, adding the committee took partin a fish release there recently.
Dogs can disturb wildlife, and spread dis-eases to other animals, he pointed out.
The committee brought up the issue to thecity’s parks, recreation and cultural servicesdepartment at a recent meeting.
In particular, the committee referencedthe Burnaby Mountain Conservation AreaManagement Plan from 2000.
“Off leash dogs are incompatible with theconservation objectives of the conservationarea and are therefore not permitted,” the plan
states.Enforcement needs to be stronger, James
said, adding that if the RCMP only arrestedspeeders when someone filed a complaint,they’d never catch anyone.
The analogy was in reference to the depart-ment’s primary method of enforcement –responding to complaints.
“I envision a full-time ranger in the area,”James said.
He has not received a response about theissue since the committee met with depart-ment staff in March.
“I would’ve expected a response by now,”he said.
There is room for compromise withdog owners in the area James said, such as

It’s been a project almost two decades inthe making, but when the doors openedat Riverway Golf Course’s new club-
house this month, golfers and gourmetsalike marvelled at the finished product.
The main dining room seats more than200, while the main patio can accommo-date another 100 and a separate side patiohas space for another 20-plus people.
The kitchen is equipped with all thenewest equipment, including four differentfridges/freezers, and would be the envyof every haute-cuisine restaurant in the
Lower Mainland.For the golfer
though, thedelights and con-veniences will bevaried and abun-dant.
With the club-house situated onthe site of a formerputting green over-looking the first
tee, the 18th green and a beautiful lake, notonly will the views be spectacular, but theopportunities for gentle and not-so-gentlechiding will be present.
The course, open since 1993, has aninteresting history that goes back to themid-1980s.
The land upon which Riverway sits wasa nutrient-rich peat bog and the city beganselling off chunks of that fuel.
Making the economics even betterwas that large construction projects atMetrotown and on the old Expo ‘86 sitemeant developers had lots of fill and fewplaces to put it.
The city capitalized by taking that con-struction fill to replace the peat taken outand began plans to put a championshipgolf course on the site just east of ByrneRoad and south of Marine Way.
One of the councillors during that timeis current Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan.
“One of the most interesting thingsto us as a council was we could build agolf course for virtually no public moneybecause we could sell the peat and acceptthe fill and this would generate moneyfor the city,” said Corrigan. “This was anopportunity too good to pass up, a tremen-dous opportunity to get a championshipgolf course at literally no cost to the tax-payer.”
In 1988, when trucks started taking thepeat out and putting the fill in, renownedgolf course architect Les Furber startedputting his innovative stamp on thecourse.
“I don’t think anybody had ever doneanything like this before,” said Furberfrom the Canmore, Alberta offices of GDSGolf Design Services. “It really was inno-vative to sell the peat and backfill it with
construction waste.”For Furber, putting a championship
course on what was a flat piece of land,with few large trees, would prove to be achallenge he relished.
“We had to add some definition to theland,” said Furber.
To do that, Furber built up bermsthroughout the course which not onlydefined fairways, they acted as noise buf-fers from the high-speed traffic going byon Marine Way.
Furber said that watching the land and
the course develop during the next eightyears was very rewarding, simply becausehe knew how much work had been putinto the project.
“I think by the end, there were about 8million cubic metres either trucked in ortrucked out,” he said. “It truly was a mas-sive undertaking.”
Furber is particularly proud of the 523-yard finishing 18th, which he designedwith a future clubhouse in mind.
“Absolutely, we wanted that hole toplay right toward where the clubhouse
was supposed to go,” said Furber. “Theway that site was set up, that was wherepeople were coming into the course andhow they would leave too.”
Furber said what he remembers mostabout the Riverway project was how pro-gressive the city was in moving forward.
“It was such a dynamic process,” hesaid. “To do this without any example tofollow was really interesting.”
If Furber thought building the golfcourse was interesting, then he’d be cap-tivated by the story of the building of theRiverway clubhouse.
David O’Connor is Burnaby’s assistantdirector of golf operations and he said hehad a clear mandate when it came to theRiverway clubhouse.
“I was told to build lots of flexibilityinto the clubhouse,” he said. “The club-house had to service golfers, it had to beable to host receptions and banquets, andit had to utilize the patio space.”
The clubhouse was always scheduledto be part of the second phase of theRiverway project, but as the 1990s turnedinto the 2000s, the clubhouse took a back-burner to other, more pressing civic proj-ects.
In 2004, the project was put in thehands of the company that helped designWestwood Plateau’s signature clubhouse.

Limited, said the new club-house at the Riverway GolfCourse has been a greatproject to be involved in.
“We wanted to capturea classy look reflecting theesthetic of clustered farmbuildings,” said Fligg. “Wewanted the clubhouse toreflect the farming past ofthis land, but at the sametime represent a realisticand modern clubhousebefitting a public golfcourse.”
Design work wouldstretch into late 2005 and2006, but Fligg and thedesign team discovered a“hidden surprise.”
“Because the course wasbuilt on an old peat bog,imagine our surprise whenwe found out that coursehad settled about two feet,”said Fligg. “The soil chal-lenges led to some delays,and that meant we neededto build in time for pre-loading the site.”
Going out to tenderduring this period of red-hot real estate meant therewere too many projectsand not enough qualifiedcontractors to do the jobcorrectly.
It wouldn’t be until late2009 that the project wentout to tender, and the mar-ket conditions had changedvery drastically.
“Contractors wereliterally fighting for thecontract,” said Corrigan,who estimated that thecity saved 15 per cent bysigning a tender in a softmarket.
Fligg said that while heput in a lot of work on theRiverway project as prin-cipal-in-charge and projectdesigner, a lot of the credithas to go to his colleague,Mark Zaitsoff, the projectarchitect and sustainabilitymanager who shepherdedthe delivery of the project
After the new clubhouseopens, the old café building
will become a multi-pur-pose room and perhaps acheck-in area for golf tour-naments.
“Now that you have aclubhouse that can hosta big event, the sky’sthe limit,” said Fligg. “ACanadian Open is not outof the question.
“When we were puttingthe plans together for theclubhouse,” said O’Connor,we were told to dream big.We were told to make thisa showcase for the entirearea. I’d like to think wedid that.”

“It’s so simple to save someone’s life,”Sue says. “That’s something that struckme.”
The registry is connected with other reg-istries worldwide, she adds.
While all are welcome to register, Suestresses that there is a big need for donorswith multi-ethnic backgrounds.
Sue’s husband is in remission, but sheis well aware that if he were to become illagain, it would be more difficult to finda stem cell donor for him because he isChinese.
Visible minorities and biracial patientsare the hardest to match with a donor,because a successful donor usually has asimilar genetic makeup, she explains.
Therearecurrently894Canadianpatientson the active search list in the One Matchregistry, according to Beth Amer, nationalrecruitment manager for the network. Ofthose, 631 are listed as Caucasian, while 263are of other origins, from Chinese to LatinAmerican. Thirty-two are multi-ethnic.
While One Match has been around sincethe late ‘80s, Amer says, it is still a challengeto educate people about the network.
“It’s when people become aware of apatient in need – a friend or relative – that
they become aware of the network,” shesays.
People who are registered with CanadianBlood Services are not automatically regis-tered with One Match, Amer adds, as eachrequires a different set of indicators for amatch. While blood is matched by bloodgroup, stem cell donor and patient matchesrequire HLA – human leukocyte antigens– indicators match up, she explains.
Once someone registers with One Match,they aren’t usually called on to donate rightaway – the average wait (estimated from asmall study of less than 100 donors) is aboutseven years, she says.
If a potential donor is identified aftertyping, they’ll be asked to provide bloodsamples for further testing. The transplantlab then confirms the markers before thedonor is brought in for an interview, ahealth assessment and a physical examina-tion at Vancouver General Hospital, Amersays.
It is only once the donor has gone throughall the steps and has given consent that thepatient is contacted, she adds.
Bone marrow stem cell transplants aredone under general anesthetic.

Income-splitting is a reoc-curring theme in the familypolicy quagmire.In 1999 the Finance
Committee established the “sub-committee on tax equity for fam-ilies with dependent children”to address it. TheLiberal Party’s socialpolicy caucus wrotethat this was theresponse to a complaint madeto the UN about discriminationagainst women who reduce theirpaid work in order to do familywork. Beverley Smith, motherof four, made that complaint in1997, supported by Kids FirstParent Association and others.
Most unusual was the partici-pation of many parents, forcingthe sub-committee to recognizeand value family care work.Though income-splitting wasthe initial focus, the final reportexpanded the mandate to betteraddress the complexity of familyeconomics.
Expansion of the debate wasand is needed because fam-ily policy is mired in unstatedassumptions buried in hiddensocial-political agendas. Forstarters, there is the tax-fundedpundits’ coy non-disclosure ofvested interests in the status quothat supports them.
Then there are assumptionsthat are harmful to child-rear-ing, some shared by many onboth sides. Take the insistenceon describing mothers as either“working” or “staying at home.”
This assumes that family workis not work, and that those whoprioritize it actually stay athome, uninvolved with the soci-ety outside.
This stems from deeperassumptions: the GDP is the
only measure of pro-ductivity even thoughit excludes essentialunpaid productivity,
and GDP growth is necessary.(Note: Britain evaluated wom-en’s unpaid family work at 104per cent of GDP.)
The two sides disagreeon other agendas: Increase/decrease overall taxation,women should/should not besaved from mindless subser-vience to patriarchy, parentsshould/should not “shareresponsibility for child-rear-ing with the state,” as per theOECD’s blueprint.
The sub-committee endorsedfive principles creating a mani-festo worthy of reviving. Hereare the principles, assumptionseach addresses, and suggestedamendments.◆ 1. Our policy should be child-centred and promote the bestinterest of the child to the great-est extent possible.
This ends the dominance ofaforementioned agendas includ-ing GDP-centricism.
The Liberals’ own paper wentfurther and deserves inclusion:children need a “loving” care-giver, and “the benefits of

One small step back, but it’s a good startIt was in August of 2006 when we
first tore a strip off the provincialLiberals for their ongoing policy ofturning provincial parks into revenueproducing factories.
“What is it about the “pub-lic” part in “public parks” thatthe B.C. Liberal governmentjust doesn’t get?” we asked.
We railed against them for a virtualanti-park campaign since taking officein 2001. At that time they had alreadyput parking meters in the parks, cut
park interpretive programs, and hikedcampground fees so much that it wasvery nearly just as cheap to stay in ahotel. They had also tried, unsuccessful-ly, to pave a chunk of Cathedral Grove
on Vancouver Island. Theirlogic ran something like this:“We want to cut down somebig trees so people can park
their cars to go see big trees.”And then they issued a call for pro-
posals to build lodges and helipads inwilderness areas like Golden Ears, and
Wells Gray parks. To that we said: “Andnow the B.C. government wants to puthigh-end lodges in our public parks sothe rich can enjoy B.C.’s wilderness butwithout the wilderness experience ofmosquitoes, lumpy sleeping pads andcampfire cinders in your coffee.”
So, while it is indeed a smallstep back – Premier Christy Clark’sannouncement this past week that payparking will be removed from provin-cial parks is very welcome.
Clark acknowledged that the parking
fees were wrong and stopped peoplefrom using the parks.
Will she revisit the whole idea ofpublic parks as a revenue source? Wedon’t know. But we do know that heracknowledgement and correction ofa long-standing policy gives us somehope that she may understand that pub-lic parks are for the enjoyment of thepublic, not just for those who can affordthe experience. And, perhaps, it is thefirst step in a much more rational viewof our super, natural outdoors in B.C.
Time to redefinewhat ‘work’ means
Parents have plenty to learnDear Editor:
Re: Parents protect gay-positive policy, BurnabyNOW, April 30.
I was appalled to read about the prejudicedand unruly behaviour of the parents at the lastschool district meeting. Have they actually read thedistrict’s proposed anti-homophobia policy? The“morality” it teaches is that we all need to treat eachother with respect – gay or straight, whether or notwe approve of each other. Clearly, not only childrenneed educating about this.
We have already passed this “morality” into lawin the B.C. Human Rights Code.
The policy also recommends teaching that gaypeople exist. Pretending otherwise is pointless and
harmful. Gay teens are at much higher risk ofdepression, dropping out and suicide due to isola-tion and bullying.
Twelve school districts in B.C. – includingVancouver, North Vancouver, and Comox – havealready passed similar anti-homophobia policies.Do we in Burnaby really want to set the clock back30 years by saying that homophobia in schools isacceptable?

breastfeeding cannot beoverstated.”◆ 2. Our policy shouldpresume that parents arethe primary caregivers andthat they are in the bestposition to determine whatconstitutes the best pos-sible care arrangement fortheir children.
This addresses undem-ocratic, beer-and-popcorncondescension towardsparents. It curtails tech-nocrats’ ability to force usto subsidize their “boldvisions” of universal insti-tutional childcare.◆ 3. Our policy shouldprovide flexibility, optionsand choices which willmake it feasible for eitherparent to be the caregiveror to be in the paid work-force.
This principle aims atrespecting preferences,but maintains the falsework-vs-care dichotomy.Looking after our ownloved ones must be for-mally defined as work.Labelling it “leisure,“inactivity,” “time to carepersonally” or “staying athome” is inaccurate andmisogynistic.
◆ 4. Our policy shouldbe inclusive and respon-sive to the social realities,circumstances and prefer-ences of parents and theirchildren. Specifically, itshould be sensitive to thesituation of lone parents,stay-at-home parents,those with disabled chil-dren, the self-employed,students with children andthose on social assistance.
This begins to recognizethat no two families arealike. Variables are infi-nite. Yet then as now, pun-dits base policy on “forexample” families whichinevitably encode theirassumptions about fam-ily composition, activities,expenses, and worthiness.Financing family workequitably (see number 5)means that policies reallyonly need to address afew variables: number ofchildren (as per Frenchincome splitting) and dis-ability.◆ 5. Our policy should befair and equitable and nei-ther encourage nor penal-ize caregiving choices.
This principle of stateneutrality on care choicesis essential, but it neces-
sitates neutrality onGDP-counted choices.Preferential treatment ofGDP-work bribes us toprioritize GDP-work overfamily-work. This has cost-ly effects: families cut backchild-bearing – Canada’sbirthrate is down 60 percent – and outsourcemuch elder care, volun-teerism, and child-rearingto government GDP-work-ers. Government nowfinances about 40 per centof GDP-work.
The tax and transfersystem can redistributeincome from GDP-work tofamily-work, creating payequity between the two.Income-splitting helps dothis. Government-financedsalaries are basicallytransfer payments; cap-ping government-financedremuneration at, say,$60,000 per year wouldfree up funds. This wouldcreate neutrality andreduce the subsidization ofGDP-work by unpaidfamily-work.

Butt out of the tree issueDear Editor:
Re: Burnaby needs to protect trees,Letters to the editor, Burnaby NOW, April30.
When I moved to this house 33 years
ago, I had an unrestricted view of SouthBurnaby. It wasn’t long before a neighbourmoved in across the street and planted 11jack pines which grew to such a height thatthat view was obliterated. A high hedge orfence would have provided the privacy heobviously wanted.
Fortunately for me, a new owner dis-posed of this “forest.”
It’s all very well for “tree happy” peo-ple such as Mr. Morev to peruse the neigh-bourhoods and condemn city hall for theirtree policy, but I am very happy with thenotion that a property owner has the rightto decide what to do about trees on his/her own land.
There is too much government interfer-ence these days without more rules andregulations regarding compulsory treeplanting.
Forcing citizens to plant two trees (evenif they can choose which ones) is, to mymind, absolutely ludicrous.

Preliminary polls showed Stewart to bethe winner on election night with 20,943votes compared to Conservative candidateRonald Leung’s 19,932 – a 1,011-vote (2.1per cent) difference. After election resultswere validated on Wednesday, those num-bers were unchanged.
The only variation after validation wastwo fewer votes for Communist candidateGeorge Gidora, who finished with 153.
Leung was not ready to concede therace Monday because, he said, the marginof votes between him and Stewart wassmall enough to merit having a closer look,simply as a precaution.
The vote spread is not wide enoughto trigger an automatic judicial recount,which requires one one-1,000th differencebetween candidates but Leung may stillrequest one from a judge.
To do so, an elector must, within fourdays of validation, provide an affidavitthat shows: the count was improperlycarried out, that ballots were improperly
rejected or that the returning officer incor-rectly added up the results at the valida-tion.
Stewart welcomed the news of the vali-dation on Wednesday evening and saidhe does not expect arecount.
“I don’t anticipatethat, but that’s withintheir rights to do if theylike,” Stewart said. “Iwasn’t worried. I knowthat recounts, unlessthey are very, veryslim margins, rarelygo against the initialvictor. I’m just happyto get on with doingthe work that needs tobe done in Burnaby-Douglas.”
Stewart said he isnow looking for con-stituency office space,ideally on HastingsStreet, and staff to“get down to the real-ly valuable caseworkBurnaby-Douglas MPsare famous for.”
Leung and his cam-paign team have notbeen available for com-ment since Tuesday.
Stewart said he has not heard from theLeung camp and has not been informed ofany discrepancies in the votes.

designating some spots as off-leashzones.
But there needs to be clear com-munication on a public level to makesure the problems are addressed, headded.
“One-on-one never seems to getthings done,” James said.
The director of the parks depart-ment said the city is equally con-cerned about the issue.
“We are concerned about off-leashdogs in the conservation area,” DaveEllenwood said, “but we can’t blan-ket the city.”
The department has increased itsbudget for additional patrols thisyear, he said.
When the city receives a com-plaint, or if animal control patrols seesomeone violating the bylaw requir-ing dog owners to use a leash, thedog owner is asked to either use aleash in the area or go to an off-leashpark.
There are six off-leash parks inBurnaby, Ellenwood pointed out,including an off-leash trail nearConfederation Park.
The most common complaints thedepartment receives involve dogs off-
leash, owners not picking up aftertheir dogs, dogs on sports fields andtrails, and loud dogs at dog parks, thedepartment reported last summer.
Dog owners have also told citystaff that signage advising owners touse leashes is often not visible, some-thing the department was working torectify this past year.
Animal control patrols areincreased in the summer months,between the end of April and LabourDay
“We’ve got a dedicated park patrolperson for that period,” Ellenwoodsaid.

The Burnaby Board of Trade’s newpresident and CEO is former Business inVancouver publisher Paul Holden, theboard announced in late April.
Holden was group publisher and direc-tor of custom publishing at Business inVancouver Media Group prior to his newappointment.
“I’m really excited about it,” Holdensaid in a phone interview on April 27before leaving for England. “It’s beenimportant to me, getting involved in thecommunity where I was publishing. It’s anaspect I always enjoyed.”
It is his first professional foray outsideof the publishing industry, though he hasserved on association boards in the past.
He said he has business contacts inBurnaby and looks forward to connectingwith business owners and industry leadersin the city upon his return.
“It’s important to me that I get out thereand maintain the level of contact (Darlene
Gering had),” he said.He spoke well of Gering’s works as
president and CEO, and of the board.The board’s work on social sustainabil-
ity, attracting and connecting with busi-nesses globally, and increasing member-ship really impressed him, Holden added.
“It’s a testament to the work Darlenehas done,” he said of the membership,which has increased from 300 a decade agoto 1,100 today. The board’s plan is to con-tinue increasing membership to 1,500.
Another area he is looking at is theboard’s events – he wants to make sureevents are relevant to everyone from theyoungest business person to the most sea-soned professional, he said.
Holden was selected based on his sig-nificant experience, business intelligence,personal integrity, and outstanding trackrecord, said Dick Kouwenhoven, chair ofthe board of directors.
Holden is scheduled to start in his newrole on May 9.

Usually All Risk coverage andReplacement Cost coverage areavailable on eligible RVs. It’s best toreview the declared value annually withyour insurance agent to make sure it’sup to date.
Get the right coverage: Did youknow that your basic ICBC policy doesnot provide coverage for physicaldamage? The good news is that youcan look for optional insurance thatprovides coverage for:

Imagine you’re a new immigrant toCanada, trying to negotiate myriads ofred tape as you’re applying for Canadiancitizenship.
The endless forms don’t make muchsense, the “frequently asked questions”don’t provide the answers you’re lookingfor and nobody seems to want to lend youa helping hand.
Enter certified Canadian immigrationconsultant Carina Tan-Lucero.
Tan-Lucero, who spent more than adecade working for the Burnaby HospiceSociety, wanted a change of pace, so sheregistered for the seven-month certifiedconsultant program at UBC. She passedwith flying colours and has been offeringher services to clients for more than a year.
“Personally, being an immigrant myself,I’ve helped a few people through theirapplication process,” said Tan-Lucero, whocame from the Philippines more than 20years ago. “I figured if I could do this pro-fessionally, this was an area where I couldreally help others.”
Tan-Lucero said that prior to 2004, it wasthe Wild West for immigrants, as peoplewho purported to help were not comingthrough with their promised services.
In fact, in April 2004, the federal gov-ernment amended the Immigration andRefugee Protection Act Regulations so thatthose who, for a fee, advised and rep-resented potential immigrants needed tobe members in good standing with eitherthe Canadian Society of ImmigrationConsultants, a provincial or territorial bar,or the Chambre des notaires du Québec.
The need for regulation stemmed froma number of factors. For many years, therewere no set standards for the level of edu-cation, the quality of services or the pro-fessional accountability necessary to offerservices as an immigration consultant.
The lack of standards resulted in a seri-ous deficiency when it came to protect-ing consumers within the immigrant andrefugee communities. Many applicants didnot understand the differences between alawyer, an immigration consultant and anon-governmental organization, and wereunfamiliar with Canada’s official languagesand immigration laws.
During a recent search of the society’swebsite at www.csic-scci.ca, there were1,813 consultants who are authorized rep-resentatives.
Certified consultants offer a variety ofservices and are equipped with the latestinformation on immigration law, proce-dures and practices. All consultants mustalso conduct business according to a strict,enforceable code of conduct.
To become certified, consultants mustpass a rigorous application process, whichrequires evidence of good character,and pass knowledge and language skillsexams.
For added security and client protection,certified consultants are fully insured forerrors and omissions and can be subject tocomplaints that are all duly investigated bythe society.
For Tan-Lucero, her services entail help-ing her clients through the entire processand not setting unrealistic expectations.
“There are many different categories
people can apply under,” she said. “Ifyou apply in the professional-high demandcategory, chances are you can go throughthe process in 12 to 18 months. If you havearranged employment, it can take as littleas six months. ... There are a lot of catego-ries and some can take 32 to 48 months ormore.”
Tan-Lucero cautions prospective clientsnot to be taken in by consultants purport-ing to be able to expedite the applicationprocess.
“We cannot expedite the process,” shesaid. “I don’t tell my clients that I can expe-dite their application because I know thatcan’t be done, that’s something that I can’tdeliver.”
Instead, Tan-Lucero said she has a suc-cess rate of approximately 80 per cent,which is proof that she underpromises andoverdelivers with her clients.
“When I’m talking to people, I tell themthey have to be patient,” said Tan-Lucero.“Sure, you can shop around and someone
will promise you the moon, but can theydeliver? For me, I make sure all the formsare filled out, I make sure that people knowif rules have been changed, and I’m therethrough the whole process.
“New immigrants have to realize it’sa very long process. I can’t shorten it, butI can try and make it smoother for myclients.”
Tan-Lucero also recently opened a UPSshop in the Edmonds neighbourhood ofSouth Burnaby and she explained how run-ning her own business dovetails nicely withher immigration consulting.
“Because the immigration process takesso long, I still wanted to do another job,”she said. “Running our own business givesme the time and flexibility to do my immi-gration consulting as well. I believe the keyto being a good consultant is knowing theneeds of each of my clients. If consultingwas my only business, I’d need to have somany clients that I wouldn’t know them aswell as I do now,” she said.
She helps untangle the red tape
Guide: Carina Tan-Lucero moved to Canada 20 years ago. Today, she’s helping other new immigrants as a certifiedimmigration consultant and running a UPS store in Edmonds.

Facing the stage is fright-ening for most people, butit is especially scary forsomeone who can’t evenleave their home.
But David Granirer, thefounder of Stand Up forMental Health, says it canbe very therapeutic forpeople with a mental ill-ness.
“We see folks who havenever left the house,” hesays, “and now they’re
leaving the house and get-ting jobs.”
Comedians from hisprogram recently made anappearance in Burnaby at aMental Health Week eventat city hall on Wednesday.
Granirer started theprogram in 2004, after see-ing what a life changingeffect the stand up comedycourse he taught at Langarahad on students.

One effective parent-ing approach canmake each of us
happier if we apply it toour daily lives.
A great strategy weused when our kids weresmall was to catch thembeing good.
We would smile andcomplement them whenthey did somethingthoughtful, generous orkind.
Not only did this rein-force good behaviour, butit made our home a morepositive place.
Each day, we saw thebest in them, and I’m surethis helped them see thebest in themselves.
Parents shouldn’t
underestimate the powerof their words.
Long after childhood,positive or negative state-ments continue a con-scious and subconsciousdialogue that shades thethoughts and feelings ofgrown children.
Obviously, putdownsand negative generaliza-tions about character andability can erode a child’sbudding self-esteem witha cascade of emotionaland relationship issuesdownstream, trickling intoevery aspect of that child’sfuture life.
Less obvious is theeffect of excessive criti-cism that is not balancedby positive reinforcement.It is like the differencebetween optimism andpessimism.
Is your cup half full orhalf empty?
Is your kid half-good orhalf-bad?
The reality of the pres-ent is exactly the same,but the difference is in our
outlook and our behav-iour.
If we see more of thepositive, we can make themost of it and bring moreinto the future.
As parents seizing thebest in our children, webecome more positive andoptimistic.
We can leverage ourchildren’s strengthsto work with theirchallenges.
Wecreatea moreappre-ciativeatmo-spherefor thewholefamily,and this willshape ourchildren’s evolv-ing mindscape.
Now we all knowthat our very lives are notsmooth sailing. We eachget a mixed bag of goodand bad moments in each
day.Even on your bad
days when it seems as ifeverything is going wrongand during those long
stretches in your lifewhen you’re copingwith loss or over-
whelmed withstress, there will
be momentswhen life
does giveyou a
break.The light
turns green justbefore you reach the inter-section (and no one is run-ning the red light).
The last pair of shoes is
just your size.You get to the parking
meter before the time hasrun out.
You find a parking spotwith an hour left on themeter.
Someone lets you aheadin line.
You get a day off andthe sun is shining.
A stranger smiles atyou.
Another driver lets youmerge into his lane.
You hear your favou-rite song in an elevator.
No one else is in theelevator so you can singand dance to it if youwant.
The elevator doors openbefore you have a chanceto wait and you make it toyour floor without a stop.
Your kid is in a cuddlymood and feels like givingyou a hug.
You run into an oldfriend you haven’t seen ina long time.
These great things don’thappen all the time, but
some good or great thingsdo happen to you eachand every day.
When you’re hav-ing a bad day or passingthrough a tough stretchwhen life hasn’t beentreating you so well, youmay not be primed tonotice these little breaks.
Your happiness exercisefor today: Make a pointof catching life when it’sgood to you.
I guarantee you’ll noticethat you’re day will gobetter than you thought.
You’ll be happier.Your life will be hap-

thought comedy would bebeneficial for those dealingwith mental health issues.
“It was a logical place tostart,” he says.
The comedians per-form at conferences, publicevents – such as the showsduring Mental HealthWeek – and municipalgovernment seminars toraise awareness of mentalhealth.
The stage is hard forpeople to face at first, hesays.
“Oh, yeah, they’re ter-rified,” Granirer says. “It’sabout walking into the fearand coming out the otherside.”
Ardell Brophy-Fitzpatrick, founder of LaffRiot Girls in New West,went through the pro-gram in 2009 and emceedthe event in Burnaby thisweek.
“It’s one of the bestthings I ever did,” she saysof the course, adding it gother back to performing.
She has known Granirersince 1994, and asked him ifshe might take the course.
Brophy-F i tzpatr i ck ,who has been in recov-ery for about 20 years, feltthat the program mighthelp with the depressionmany women in AlcoholicsAnonymous also experi-ence along with the addic-tion, she says.
Now, she helps Granirerwith teaching courses outof a church in Burnaby onoccasion, and she is still
taking the alumni courses.“It’s a stepping stone
back into other things inlife,” she says of the pro-gram.
B r o p h y - F i t z p a t r i c kemceed two shows at cityhall on Thursday, one atnoon and one at 1 p.m.
Six comics, includingBrophy-Fitzpatrick, per-formed.
“It went pretty well,”she says.
It wasn’t a full house,she noted, but the peoplethere were very engaged.
The shows were part of
the Mental Health Weekevents taking place aroundthe city from May 1 to 7.
Today – Friday, May6 – the Canadian MentalHealth Association hasdeclared it Your WellnessDay.
People are encouraged to
give themselves a spa dayto relax, and 20 per cent ofgross sales from participat-ing salons and spas will goto mental health programsin the community.
There are also mentalhealth information tablesat some local libraries – on
Saturday, there will be anexhibit in the main foyerof McGill Library at 4595Albert St.
This is the 60th year forMental Health Week.

Is MKX simply a rebadged version ofthe wildly successful Ford Edge? Afterall, both are designed from the same
platform, and built in the same plant inOakville, Ontario. That depends onyour perspective of what we mean by“same.”
The Lincoln is a full-load singletrim line vehicle with standardall-wheel-drive and comes withunique-to-Lincoln features, aritzier exterior and interior anda better warrantythan the Edge.
The FordEdge, of course,is not as upscaleas the Lincoln,and it has less fea-tures than its moreexpensive cousin.
The Ford Edgealso recently receivedthe prestigious 2011Canadian Utility Vehicleof the Year Award. So, theMKX is certainly built on a verygood foundation.
A full-load Edge is about the sameprice as the MKX, which is something forbuyers to consider. However, the Lincolnis more likely to appeal to a buyer who’slooking at a similar class luxury utilityvehicle, such as the Audi Q5, Cadillac SRX
or Lexus RX350. Value-wise, the MKXstacks up very well against this calibre ofcompetition.
The MKX was first introduced byLincoln as a 2007 model. While not a com-plete makeover, over 60 per cent of partsand components in the 2011 edition havebeen changed. It’s still a five-seat mid-sizeutility vehicle, but now it’s powered bya 3.7-litre V6 that’s mated to a six-speedautomatic transmission.The new enginecan produce 305 horsepower, which is 40extra horses than the outgoing 3.5-litre V6.
Yet fuel economy is better than in thepredecessor, rated at 12.2 L/100 km inthe city and a very frugal 8.8 L/100 kmon the highway.
Topping the list of new features isthe industry-exclusive MyLincoln
Touch system. Like MyFordTouch, this is an advanced ver-
sion of the Ford Sync multime-dia driver con-nect technology,which providesan array ofinformation andoptions for thedriver and other
occupants in thevehicle to interact
with personal andvehicle digital tech-
nology. Unfortunately,I find the system too cum-
bersome to use while drivingand, in general, it’s a bit “ahead
of its time.”Highlights of the long list of standard
features that come with the MKX are its18-inch polished aluminum wheels, hillstart assist, automatic adaptive xenonheadlights, fog lamps, heated blind-spotmirrors with puddle lamps, a power lift-
gate, a rear-view camera, keyless entrywith push-button start, a power tilt andtelescopic heated steering wheel, heatedand cooled leather 10-way adjustablepower seats, driver’s side memory, leather-trimmed seats and the SecuriCode keylessentry keypad.
It doesn’t stop there, as you can alsoadd some unique options like adaptivecruise control, collision warning withbrake support, and THX II audio system.
The lookThe most obvious change is the big,
chrome split-wing front grille. While newto MKX, it’s actually a modern version ofan older Lincoln signature feature, and
it’s an attractive interpretation. Anothernostalgic nod is a general increase in theamount of brightwork on the body, whichincludes chromed door handles.
Styling changes up front are extensiveas the hood, fenders, headlights, bumperand front air intakes are all new. Aroundback, MKX gets new LED tail lights, a newliftgate design and oval exhaust tail pipes.
The insideProviding a quieter, more comfortable
cabin with more utility for its users weregoals of the Lincoln interior engineers.
As such, they left little or noth-ing of the old interior, as the instrument

Lincoln MKX offers luxury in an SUV
As with the rest of theHonda Civic’s comprehen-sive model range, the 2012Hybrid has been reworkedwith an eye to efficiency.
The hybrid system – orIntegrated Motor Assistin Honda-speak – is nowcomprised of a 1.5-litreengine (up from 1.3L), a20-kilowatt electric motor(up from 15 kW) and anew 144-volt lithium ionbattery that delivers betterpower while being lighterthan the outgoing nickel-metal hydride unit.
The hybrid delivers a netsystem output of 110 horse-power and 127 pound-feetof torque between 1,000
and 3,500 r.p.m. and israted at a very miserly 4.4litres per 100 kilometres inthe city and 4.2 L/100 kmon the highway – a reduc-tion of 0.3 and 0.1 L/100km, respectively.
Beyond the IntegratedMotor Assist, it is the CivicHybrid’s aerodynamictweaks and Eco Assist sys-tem that help the driverwring the best out of everydrop of fuel.
Pricing has not beenannounced, but expectit to start at around$27,000 when it arrives inSeptember.

panel, console, seats and door panels etc.are all new. And new sound-deadeningtechniques have also made it a uniquelyquiet cabin.
Cargo capacity behind the second seatis 915 litres and it expands to 1,942 litreswith the second row seats folded flat.
The front passenger seat can alsofold flat to allow something up to 2.4metres long to slide into the MKX.And for improved passenger com-fort, the rear seats also have aseatback recline feature.
If you like digital-age elec-tronics, you’ll befascinated withthe MyLincolnTouch system,which takesvoice-activatedcommunicationstechnology to anew level. A cool-looking panel displayis controlled by five-way thumb switches onthe steering wheel, and itobeys up to 10,000 voice com-mands, compared to the previousversion that understood about 300.
My test MKX also came with an in-carentertainment option ($2,100) that includedheadrest-mounted screens that rear pas-sengers can use to watch movies.
SafetyIn addition to the usual array of airbags
and other occupant protection systems, theMKX has the MyKey system. This systemallows a vehicle owner (typically a parent)to program restricted use by a secondary
operator (probably a son or daughter).Maximum speed can be set to 130 km/h
and audio volume can be reduced to44 per cent of full output. The audio
system can also be muted and achime sounded at regular inter-
vals if the front seat occupantsdo not buckle their seatbelts.
The driveThe all-
wheel-drivesystem defaultsfor front-drive
in normal drivingsituations to maxi-
mize fuel economy.It’s a passive system
that doesn’t requiredriver inputs, and it will
divert traction to all wheelsin slick driving conditions.
The driver can change gears manu-ally by moving the shift lever into the “M”position. A toggle switch on the shift leveris used to make gear selections.
While not as sexy as the steering wheel-mounted paddle shift levers found on
competitors, it does the job. An automaticsportshift mode would be another of my“wish list” additions.
That said, the MKX can move alongat a very good clip. Its zero to 100 km/htest time at the recent Canadian Car of theYear evaluation event was a spirited 8.1seconds.
The steering is weighted on the light
side but is reasonably sharp and commu-nicative. A combination of front struts andrear trailing arms, the suspension systemprovides a smooth ride and stable corner-ing behaviour.
The scoreIf looks could kill, the new Lincoln
MKX would be an assassin.

Responding Rather ThanReacting to UnemploymentThis article is by Chris Newell, Career Coachand Facilitator with Transitions Career & BusinessConsultants.
When people are faced with unemployment – for any reason - theyexperience confusion, fear, frustration, insecurity and feelings of beingoverwhelmed. Not having a job, means not having a pay cheque, whichmeans not having money coming in, which means our survival isjeopardized.It’s scary to think that we may not have our basic needs met; after all, weneed shelter, food, clothing, and medical care. It’s natural to panic whenour livelihood is lost. However, I think it’s very important for people atthis time to stop and assess their inner and outer resources so that theydon’t allow their fears to get the best of them. Making hasty decisionsfrom a place of fear and anxiety can lead to ineffective and unsatisfactoryoutcomes in the future. It can actually cost more in the end: financially,emotionally, physically and spiritually.While being out of work is certainly a stressful time, make sure yougive yourself a chance to respond to the situation objectively. Seek outinformation, resources, guidance and services to help you with all aspectsof your life and career management. Don’t just react, and run out tofind a job - any job – because ‘you’ve got to pay the bills’, without firstconsidering how you can maximize this time to explore, invest and securea purposeful career for you. Sure, the process could take longer, and theremay be more time, money, energy and education involved, but the pay offcould sustain you in so many ways, and actually benefit you intellectuallyand creatively as well as financially. You certainly would be more in controlof your life, by making well thought-out decisions based on research,planning and experimenting, rather than just rushing into another job thatcould turn out to be a disaster.The Transitions Program, a free 3 week career exploration program isavailable to all unemployed people in the Lower Mainland.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections May 8 - 14, 2011★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Aries March 21 - April 19: Continue to chasemoney. This week is relatively smooth, unhurried.Sunday holds a few frustrations if you wanderafield after outside goals or adventure. Instead, stayhome, garden, repair, or soak up nature. Romance,creative surges, pleasure and beauty surgeMonday/Tuesday – you’re a winner! Tackle choresWednesday/Thursday, buy machinery, seek healthcures, employment or employees – you’ll succeed.Relationships face the deep, slow pulling apartyou’ve noticed in recent years, but Saturday showsthe cure. The problem is your ambition: the cure isanother’s – support it.Taurus April 20-May 20: Your energy, effectivenessand charisma rise nicely! Don’t expect everything, asyou’re in the trough that comes just before the bigluck wave swells. That trough lasts to June 4 – fivemore weeks. Then 53 weeks of great, life-changingluck begin! Don’t waste your present energy: youcan solve problems that would usually stymie you,can accomplish unusual feats. Focus your abilities onsolving whatever has held you back. The main thing:to clear the way for big, lucky things June onward.Home’s sweet, good Monday/Tuesday. Romance,creativity midweek. Work, Friday. A good week!Gemini May 21-June 20: Continue to rest, plan,pray, meditate. Be charitable, deal with governmentagencies, institutions. Wishes can still come true,but consider this: wishes that lead to freedom aremuch more viable than those that lead to depth,darkness, lust, security, investment. Soon, you willget a chance for these deeper things (June 2011-June 2012) but over the entire rest of this decade,these deeper things will “disagree” with ethics, law,friendship, lighter laughter – and the lighter will win.This also means light romance will conquer deepromance. Buy nothing Sunday. Success, all week!
Cancer June 21-July 22: Your energy and charismastep up a notch Sunday – conquer problems, seeksolutions. Chase money Monday/Tuesday – and chasefriends, contacts, information Wednesday/Thursday– luck accompanies you in both endeavours! Behome, pay attention to the needs of children, parentsFriday/Saturday. Take a rest after a lucky, active week.Wishes can come true this week and next, especiallyin career and social arenas. But realize your career ischanging deeply (and in many cases suddenly) overthe next eight years: in-depth research, investment,power plays, secrets play a bigger role.Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Chase ambitions, and thepeople who can grant them. You’ll be tested, butyou’ll win an “A!” Rest Sunday, plan and prepare– but be careful with fire, hot irons and ethical/legal temptations. Your energy and charisma soarMonday/Tuesday – get out and impress people,especially bosses, VIPs, parents and authorities.Chase money (e.g., ask for a pay raise, seek newclients) Wednesday/Thursday. These are foursuccessful, satisfying days – by Friday/Saturdayyou’ll be ready to socialize, dream, wish and enjoyyour optimism – though it will be a sober optimism.Until 2019, love succeeds!Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: A gentle, compassionateunderstanding flows over you. You might fall in love.Actually, someone is likely more impressed withyou than vice-versa, Wednesday/Thursday. Still, youmight fall in love. Something is working powerfully tochange your life – it could be sex, could be finances,a move, a secret, an urge – Charlie Sheen is a Virgo,and a hero, because he is embodying the Virgo urgeright now. Behind-scenes actions, government andadministrative chores succeed Monday/Tuesday.Charge forth and chase a major goal Wednesday/Thursday! Money needs care Friday/Saturday.
Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: Most trends/occurrencesare split into two streams: open relationships, andthe more private, behind-scenes interactions. E.g.,you are meeting challenging but lucky people orbright, obvious opportunities – these can quickly turnto intimacy, mutual financial funding, investment,detective work, or lifestyle commitments. Look forfriendship on the surface, bonding underneath.Soon, this “deeper side” will increase – and by Juneonward, for a year, it will grow very lucky. But for now,the luck resides in the meeting, the seeing, relocation,pursuing new horizons and opportunities.Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21:This month doesn’t exactlyoffer you the prize with a flourish of easy luck, but itdoes give you a real preview of the luck to come, June2011to June 2012. The prize involves a relationship.It could be an opportunity in business, new lifehorizons, love/marriage, fame, contract negotiations.It will arise because you impress or please someone,because you’re diplomatic and focused on another’sneeds and desires. (You’re an expert at that.) Thisweek, study your ethics Sunday: right, wrong? Yourambitions meet luck Monday/Tuesday; your hopesmeet “a friend”Wednesday/Thursday!Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Lots of work facesyou – you might as well plod through. Recentromantic, pleasurable, creative or child-orientedventures remain active, lucky. The year ahead(starting in a week or two) will expand your duties,so pack in some last-minute pleasure and relaxationnow, while you can. You might, in the six weeksahead, stumble upon a creative work situation– grab it. A co-worker romance might develop.Cautious Sunday: traps exist. Wisdom, gentle loveflow Monday/Tuesday. Be ambitious Wednesday/Thursday – success accompanies you! Your mood’shappier than events, late week.
Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: You’re riding a minorwinning streak, but it’s good practice for the “bigwave” that’s coming June 2011 through June 2012.That time will bring “benefits with responsibilities”in romance, creative projects, speculative ventures,pleasure, vacation, and children’s talents. These verythings fill May, so enjoy life, relax and pursue love! Arelationship gives you friction Sunday. Life’s depths,lust, finances, meet with luck Monday/Tuesday.Gentle love, understanding fill Wednesday/Thursday.You feel ambitious Friday/Saturday, but use a lighttouch if others react unexpectedly.Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: The focus lies on home,family, recuperation, nature, garden, soul, stomach,security, real estate, retirement, endings andbeginnings. This period isn’t ultra-important at themoment, but it will become the source of your luckfrom June 2011 to June 2012. So keep your eyesopen, your thoughts ticking. Chores might frustrateSunday: proceed cautiously, especially around powertools. Relationships might be competitive Monday/Tuesday, but they’re also lucky, even loving, so plungein! Investments, debt, sex, intimate commitments,lifestyle changes proceed well Wednesday/Thursday.Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Romance has a fewsnags Sunday – go slow. Tackle chores or buymachinery, toolsMonday/Tuesday. If unemployed, lookfor work, especially Tuesday afternoon. A whole grab-bag of opportunities faces you Wednesday/Thursday.Go forth, seek, be curious, ask. Be diplomatic, too.Relationships surprise, reward. The news mightdisappoint in financial, health and/or sexual areasFriday/Saturday. Investments made Friday won’twork; those made Saturday might. Generally, this is alight, busy, smooth and satisfying week. Money’s stilllucky in an income way, but not for long – act now!
