Waiting:RichardMcBrideElementaryis one of fourlocal schoolsdeemed athigh riskfor damagein a majorearthquake.The recent 4.3magnitudeearthquakeoff the coastof B.C. servesas yet anotherreminder ofthe “sleepingmonster” thatcould awakenat any time.

High-risk schools wait for seismic upgradesParents at Richard McBride Elementary

send their children off to school everymorning knowing that if a major earth-quake hits, their kids will be sitting ina building that is deemed high risk fordamage.

The same is true of those at NewWestminster Secondary School, F.W.Howay and the former Hume ParkElementary School, which now houses thedistrict’s Homelearners’ program.

“It is scary, and especially because wesee signs of wear and tear on the buildinganyway … but, of course, we also don’tknow when the ‘big one’ could happen,”McBride parent advisory council co-chairHeather Corbett said in an email to TheRecord.

The recent 4.3 magnitude earthquakeoff the coast of B.C. serves as yet anotherreminder of the “sleeping monster” thatcould awaken at any time, and for fourNew Westminster schools, it could spelldisaster.

McBride, a school with approximately420 students, is on the province’s radar tobe replaced, Corbett said.

The question of whether the provincialgovernment should act faster on replacingthe seismically unsafe school has come upat McBride’s parent council meeting forthe last couple of years, Corbett said.

Anvil tower owner in no rush to lease spaceThe Anvil Centre office tower hasn’t

signed a deal with any tenants but has hadsome “keen interest” in the space.

LastMarch, theCityofNewWestminsterannounced it had sold the office toweratop Anvil Centre to a company ownedby businessmen Suki Sekhon of the CRSGroup of Companies and Joseph Segal ofKingswood Capital Corporation.

The building includes 137,000 square

feet of Class A office space.Sekhon told The Record there’s been

some “keen interest” in the office space.“We have some offers out there on

different areas of different floors, someproposals,” Sekhon said. “Some of themwe are negotiating with. We have nothingthat is firm.”

Sekhon said the owners have alwaysknown it was going to be a one- or two-year run to get most of the building filledwith tenants.

“This is a long-term vision,” he said.

“This is something we want to get leasedup with a quality tenant. You don’t wantto put in tenants for the sake of puttingthem in. We prefer to have a good tenantmix there.”

The owners are looking for professionaltenants that could include lawyers, unionsor a banking firm. Sekhon couldn’t put adate on when tenants could move into thebuilding.

“It could be a day, it could be a month,it could be a year,” he said. “I don’t havea crystal ball.”

Currently, much of the interior of theAnvil Centre office building is a shell andhasn’t been finished.

“We are working on a show suite onthe 14th floor and maybe finishing off the12th,” Sekhon said. “Right now the onlyfinished area is the lobby area and thedecks.”

According to Sekhon, the City of NewWestminster is holding an event on the14th floor of the office tower in February.

Locked-out employees of theSouthern Railway of B.C. releaseda video recently showing the com-pany’s managers operating a trainwith no headlights in thick fog onAnnacis Island.

The video shows a train rollingat a crossing just off the AnnacisChannel bridge with no headlightsor front ditch lights on, despitethick fog, after 6 p.m. on Tuesday,Jan. 13.

“This video raises concern aboutpeople with less experience run-ning trains during the lockout,”CUPE Local 7000 president BillMagri said in a media release. “Ifthis kind of thing keeps happen-ing, someone is going to get hurt.”

Sections 17 and 19 of CanadianRail Operating Rules – SignalsOperations require that headlightsand ditch lights be kept on at alltimes during a crossing.

CUPE 7000 has reported otherincidents to the Safety Authoritysince the lockout began, the unionrelease states.

On Jan. 5, Southern Railwaylocked out 126 members of CUPELocal 7000 following the union’srejection of its final offer, a conces-sions-filled package that the unionsays fails to address its healthand safety concerns. Since then,the trains have been operated byapproximately 20 of the company’s34 managers.

“They need to drop the conces-sions and negotiate a fair collectiveagreement so that we can get thesetrains running properly again bythe people who know how to oper-

ate them and stop putting publicsafety at risk,” Magri said in therelease.

Frank Butzelaar, SouthernRailway president, said theemployee involved in the videoincident acknowledged it was amistake.

“The light was off for a verybrief period of time while hechanged directions of the locomo-

tives,” Butzelaar said. “I can assureyou at no time was the publicat risk. There was an employeepositioned on the front platformof the leading locomotive, and thatemployee was in constant commu-nication with the engineer.

“A lot is being made out ofthis. It was a rules violation, butwe are going to handle it, just likewe handle any other situation like

that,” he said.The company is servicing about

50 per cent of its customers inthe face of the labour dispute,Butzelaar said.

Meanwhile, there have beenno discussions between the unionand the company since the lockoutbegan, he added.

Southern Rail’s main facility isthe port at Annacis Island.

Union questions railway safety

Labour dispute: The union for locked-out Souther Railway employees recently released a video showingthe company’s managers operating a train with no headlights in thick fog on Annacis Island.

Seismic: Report being prepared on McBride“It’s like an endless waiting

game,” she said.However, Corbett added that

she was “encouraged” to see thatthe school made the government’sseismic upgrade list.

But the big question remainswhether McBride will be fixed orreplaced.

“Either way, another key ques-tion will be how much upheavalthis will cause the kids and theireducation,” Corbett wrote. “Itwould be ideal to have an answersoon so that proper preparationscan be made.”

The district is working tosecure a replacement of NewWestminster Secondary School, a

process that has been going onfor years.

“In terms of hearing aboutwhether the district will get fund-ing for the high school or forMcBride, I’d rather hear the ver-dict on the high school,” Corbettsaid. “I think it’s more impor-tant.”

Doug Templeton, the district’sdirector of operations, told TheRecord that once the high schoolreplacement funding is approved,the district will move forwardwith securing funding for the dis-trict’s other seismic upgrades.

The district is currently work-ing with the Ministry of Educationon the high school replacementproject and looking to secure

funding. Superintendent JohnGaiptman has estimated the com-plex project – the site contains anold cemetery – would cost about$110 million.

The district is putting togethera project report (“being writtenas we speak,” Templeton said)for the earthquake upgrades atMcBride, Templeton said.

The district is working with aconsultant to determine the costof replacing McBride. After NWSSand McBride, the district woulddeal with Howay.

“Howay is a pretty minor proj-ect, and it’s scheduled to followMcBride,” Templeton said. “Wehave finished all of our assess-ment work on the school, so we

know what the resolve is andwhat the fix is.”

If an earthquake does hit, allschools across the district havean emergency plan that studentspractise several times a year.

Other schools in the district areconsidered medium to low riskfor damage.

For the entire list of schools inthe region, visit www.bced.gov.bc.ca.

For the last decade, the pro-vincial government has beenupgrading schools throughoutMetro Vancouver, only one RoyalCity school (newly built QayqaytElementary, which replaced JohnRobson Elementary), made thelist of completed seismic projects.

The man accused of keying more than60 cars in New Westminster last Novemberwill be spending some time behind bars fol-lowing a sentencing hearing last week.

Coquitlam resident Soo Yo Kim pledguilty in New Westminster provincial courtto one count of mischief to property over$5,000, according to a release from NewWestminster police.

The 37-year-old was sentenced to threemonths in jail and three years probationfor vandalizing 63 cars in New West’s WestEnd and 66 cars in Burnaby in November,and more than 100 cars in Coquitlam lastspring.

The New Westminster PoliceDepartment’s street crime unit arrested Kimon Nov. 18, 2014. Six days prior to Kim’s

arrest, residents living in the area of LondonStreet between 15th and 20th streets awoketo find many of the vehicles parked onthe street had been keyed by an unknownsuspect.

Over the course of their investigation,police observed Kim keying vehicles inBurnaby, bringing the total number of carshe keyed in New Westminster and Burnabyto 129 – in less than one week.

Part of the mischief charge, according toCoquitlam RCMP, also includes a car-key-ing spree in the Tri-Cities last spring whenmore than 100 cars were vandalized.

According to ICBC, the damage done byKim has cost the corporation about $650,000in claims plus another $250,000 in out-standing claims. Customers have also spentabout $35,000 on deductibles.

New Westminster fire-fighters used the Jaws ofLife to free a man trappedin a clothing donation bin.

Fire crews got called tothe 1000 block of QuaysideDrive on Jan. 15 after get-

ting reports that someonewas stuck in one of the con-tainers where people candeposit clothing donationsfor charity.

“For whatever reason,this individual crawled inthere,” said Fire Chief TimArmstrong. “Those bins arelike a mailbox – once you

open it you can get in, butyou can’t get back out.”

Passersby alerted emer-gency officials about theman’s predicament.

“I guess the guy wasthrashing around so muchthat he knocked the thingover and it was on its back.

Safety of our children should take priorityWe are inundated with community

service announcements asking us ifwe are ready for an earthquake. Theyremind us to have extra food, plenty ofwater, emergency plans for the family –all good and necessary things.

But that’s if the big one hitswhen you’re at home. If a mas-sive earthquake hits the LowerMainland during the day,many of us will be at our workplacesand our children will be at school. Andwhat can a parent do if their child is atschool – and a school deemed at high

risk for damage if an earthquake hits?For decades we’ve been waving edi-

torial red flags about speeding up theprocess to have our city schools seismic-ally upgraded. And while there’s been

some progress – it is simplynot enough and not fastenough.

The recent earthquake offof Vancouver Island reminded

us, yet again, of how vulnerable we areif the big one hits.

Scientists say the last major earth-quake hit the Pacific coast on January

26, 1700. They believe it was about a 9on the seismic scale and was probablyfelt as far away as the Manitoba border.It created a four-storey high tsunamithat hit the Japanese coast and levelledeverything in its path.

For many, it’s just too horrible toimagine, and indeed, if we are hit withsomething in the 9 range – seismicretrofitting may not be able to savemany older buildings. But that surelyshouldn’t stop us from trying to ensurethat our schools are as well equippedas possible to withstand a major earth-

quake. If a major earthquake happens,and we have not done everything we canto ensure the current high-risk schoolshave been upgraded, how will we beable to justify our losses? It doesn’tseem possible.

Once again we urge the provincialgovernment to come up with the cash toexpedite all seismic upgrading for high-risk schools.

Surely this is an issue that is asimportant as making sure our transitsystems can handle commuters for thenext 20 years. Isn’t it?

Harper is still theone to beat

How is it that PrimeMinister Stephen Harper,who has been vilified by

his political opponents like fewpoliticians before him, is still thefront-runner when it comes towinning the next federal electionin October?

How can someone who stirsup deeply passionate and emo-tional negative responses on somany issues still look like theone to beat come the vote?

There are many, many rea-sons to be upset with the Harpergovernment (and many othergovernments, for that matter). Sohow can it even stand a chanceof being re-elected?

While political polling hasto be taken with a very largegrain of salt these days (givenhow wrong some of them havebeen in recent elections), onecan’t simply dismiss out of handa series of polls that put theConservatives firmly in the leadover the federal Liberals andNDP.

The latest Ipsos-Reid poll forGlobal News gives Harper’sConservatives 35 per cent ofthe decided vote, while JustinTrudeau’s Liberals are at 31 percent and Thomas Mulcair’s NDP

appears to be fading, sitting atjust 24 per cent.

That Conservative lead seemsto be solidifying, if not increas-ing. How can this be?

Well, first of all, take a look atwho actually votes in this coun-try. As I’ve written here a num-ber of times before, voters tendto be older and by nature moreconservative in outlook.

Polls often over-represent theviews of younger people – whodon’t vote in nearly the samenumbers as older people – andunder-represent older folks. On-line polls, it seems to me, likelydon’t reflect the views of a greatmany people who may still feeluncomfortable with the internetand online communications.

In fact, if your sense of wherepublic opinion is based onwhat’s being said online, you arelikely getting a very distortedview of things.

Go to any major media web-site, and check out the comments(most of them anonymous)posted after political news stor-ies. Invariably, if they concernfederal politics at all, Harper isbasically referred to as the devilhimself (although that is likelyone of the more polite character-izations).

Increasingly, people onlylisten to or read things thatreinforce their pre-conceivedopinions. And so, on somethinglike Facebook for example,people only read what theirFacebook friends send their way– friends who likely view the

Get rid of the tacky lightingDear Editor:

Re: Does statue need better lighting?, The Record,Jan. 16.

You bet it does!Thank goodness city hall has recognized that

there might be something wrong with the gawd-awful lighting that presently exists on our Wait forMe Daddy addition to downtown.

Good lighting doesn’t compete with the verything it is meant to enhance. All one needs to do istake a look at professional stage lighting. It is subtleand discreet and hidden from view – not blatant,glaring and just plain ugly. Before any further dam-age is done and money spent, for goodness’ sake,city, consult the lighting expert that should havebeen consulted in the beginning.

After all, the statue depicts an emotional and

thought-provoking moment in history – not a LasVegas carnival. Forget about the suggestion to addto what already exists – what exists is dreadfulenough.

I would never, ever take a visitor to see our newmonument. Public art reflects the image of the cityin which it is installed. I dislike the idea that I couldbe living in a tacky town.

world as they do.Or people will only

read or listen to a mediaoutlet that has a bias thattilts their way. This isparticularly a problem forthose who are decidedlyleft-wing or right-wing– they shut out anythingthat clashes with their ownviews or ideology.

And so the people whoare most vehemently anti-Harper only listen to eachother, and therefore onlyreinforce their view thathe is some sort of horribleleader who is about to bedeposed.

After all, everyone issaying that, so it must betrue, right?

The trouble, of course,that if you only listento your limited circle offriends, you’re not get-ting the full picture. I see

many people gleefully saythey don’t read or watchso-called “mainstreammedia” and only con-sume media that agreeswith their viewpoint – asa result, they live in anecho chamber that leads toignorance and uninformedcommentary.

This is a relativelyrecent phenomenon. Therapid rise of websites,blogs, and social mediamakes living in that echochamber that much easier– and that much easier tounderestimate a suppos-edly unpopular govern-ment like the Harper one.

Finally, throw in the factwe have three major pol-itical parties at the federallevel, and you can see whythe Conservatives willlikely grow more confidentas the October vote growsnearer.

The Conservativevoter base, which hoversaround 40 per cent of theelectorate, is fairly loyaland committed. But thereare a fair number of folkswho are likely comfortablevoting for either the fed-eral Liberals or the NDP,meaning each of thoseparties can hurt each otherthrough vote splitting (tosay nothing of the GreenParty adding to that confu-sion).

So, despite all thatvitriol and fury directedHarper’s way, he can clingto power with only a min-ority of voters backing him– a fact lost in so much ofthe noise on the Internetand social media, andamong people who onlylisten to those who thinkjust like them.

ONLINE COMMENTS

THE RECORD STORY: New West leading the charge for transit ‘yes’vote – Jan. 13Facebook I Dave Lundy: Yes I have decided how I’m voting. And while I believe thatthe money is needed, and I also believe that utilizing the PST increase of 0.5 percentis the fairest most equitable way to “spread the pain” amongst everyone who willbenefit from the proposed transit resources … I’m going to vote NO. For the simplefact that I believe that Translink needs to be remade, or scrapped in its current formand replaced with an elected, accountable transit authority as exists in other majorcities throughout the world. Before handing it 7.5 billion dollars over 30 years. Thisissue (Translink governance reform) should be one of the key issues in the 2017provincial election.Facebook I Katrina Hilliard: I agree that the transit system will definitely need moremoney to make itself actually work. However I 100% say NO to giving Translink any-more of taxpayers’ money. The corporation has no idea how to handle its financesand throws most of what it gets into the trash or pays their people way too much.Have Translink either be completely taken over by another company or have a thirdparty step in and handle their financial department and I would definitely vote yes toan increase. But not now with the way they are.

New Westminster police have laidcharges in connection with a car caughtspeeding through Queen’s Park onHalloween night.

As previously reported by The Record,police spotted a vehicle around 6:55 p.m.allegedly driving erratically down QueensAvenue near Fourth Street on Oct. 31.Officers with the bike squad pursued thevehicle as it sped down Third Street, hit-ting a street sign at Townsend Place anddriving over a resident’s lawn.

The driver eventually abandoned thevehicle at Fourth Street and Regina Street,and police arrested a man a short timelater.

Following an investigation, whichincluded witness reports from the com-munity, charges have now been approved

against 31-year-old Joonhee Hee Cho, aresident of New Westminster, according toa media release from police.

“We are extremely thankful to the manymembers of the community that came for-ward to assist our investigators in this mat-ter,” Sgt. Chad Johnston, spokesperson forthe New Westminster Police Department,said in the release.

Cho is charged with one count of dan-gerous operation of a motor vehicle, fail-ing to remain at the scene of an accident,obstructing a peace officer, failing to stopa motor vehicle, and operating a motorvehicle without a driver’s licence.

Cho is scheduled to be in NewWestminster provincial court on Feb. 4 toset a date for his trial.

– Cayley Dobie

Halloween driving spreeleads to charges

He was banging around inthere and somebody musthave called,” Armstrongsaid. “Police were thereand they called us to help

because they couldn’t gethim out.”

Because the openings fordepositing clothes are “oneway in”, firefighters had touse the Jaws of Life to cut

the front lock mechanismoff the bin to open it up andlet the man out.

“He had no injuries,”Armstrong said. “Woundedpride, that’s about it.”

“I think for the 14th,because it is a unique floor,we want to show what itwould look like finished,”he said of the building’s topfloor. “I think we are goingto spend some money andsome time there, we aregoing to put some furniturein the lobby. We are goingto invest some money sowhen people come throughthey can look at it and say,‘This is a finished space.’”

The city was originallyworking with the UptownProperty Group on theoffice tower, but after itpulled out of the projectthe city decided to build iton its own.

The Anvil Centre andoffice tower project cost$86.4 million, which was$1.9 million over what thecity had budgeted.

Under the terms of thesale of the office tower, thepurchasers are paying forthe office tower in instal-

ments. After putting downa $5 million non-refund-able deposit upon sign-ing the purchase and saleagreement, the purchasersprovided an additional $5million in December 2014,when the sale closed (andheld back another $1.5 mil-lion until some constructiondeficiencies are addressed.)The remaining money willbe paid to the city, withinterest, within three yearsof the Dec. 31, 2014 closingdate.

Although the officetower was initially market-ed as Merchant Square, it’ssince undergone a namechange.

“Is called Anvil Centre,”Sekhon said. “Why wouldyou have two differentnames? I didn’t like theidea of Merchant Square atAnvil Centre. It made moresense to have everythingunder one name.”

Follow Theresa on Twitter,@theresamcmanus.

New Westminster is moving onup in Anvil Centre to showcase itsfuture plans for the city.

Mayor Jonathan Cote and citycouncil will be holding a meetingwith various community groups inFebruary on the top floor of the AnvilCentre office tower. Instead of havingonce-a-month, one-on-one meetingswith various groups, Cote said thecity decided to bring city and busi-ness leaders together at one time.

“It’s an opportune time, we feel,

to number 1, showcase Anvil Centreto those that haven’t seen it and havea close look at what we are doingthere,” Cote told The Record. “Wealso want to talk about the city’swaterfront vision, some of the devel-opments, but in particular the cityproject of the Q2Q pedestrian bridge,and get the word out there that this isa major project that the city is goingto be working on.”

The city has negotiated some casi-no funding to help build a pedestriancrossing from Queensborough to theQuay.

“We are going to get to the pointwhere we are potentially going to belooking at some sponsorship oppor-tunities and trying to raise fundsfor that, so it’s kind of laying thegroundwork so people are aware and

they can speak in their networks andword gets out about those opportuni-ties,” he said of the meeting. “Andalso just to really get word out thatpeople who are really involved inour city are aware of some of the bigthings that we want to be taking onand working on over the next fouryears.”

Cote said the city appreciates theowner of the office tower is willing towork with the city and allowing thespace to be used for the meeting. Hesaid the city was considering a loca-tion that had a view of the river, andstaff suggested the office tower.

“We thought why don’t we geteveryone together in the room,” Cotesaid. “Mayor and council will bethere to present some of the thingswe want to be doing.”

Steel & Oak BrewingCo. is bubbling upwith accolades just

months after opening.The annual Craft

Beer Survey hosted byBeerMeBC.com named theNew Westminster darlingBest New Brewery in B.C.

“We couldn’t be morethrilled,” co-owner JordenFoss said in a mediarelease. “Our goal wasto create a tasting roomwhere people enjoy spend-ing time sampling the everchanging variety of beerswe are developing. To bevoted Best New Breweryin B.C. is great affirmationthat we are on track andthat people are enjoyingour beer.”

Owners Foss and JamieGarbutt had to close thedoors on Steel & Oak inearly August after beingopen for just over a month,

as they couldn’t keep upwith demand for theirproduct. They have nowdoubled production cap-acity and will be addingtwo more fermentationvessels as well as a bot-tling line this spring totheir brewery on ThirdAvenue and StewardsonWay.

“We have been hum-bled by the kind wordsthat people have saidabout our beers and arealways taken aback whenwe see how busy our tast-ing room is on a dailybasis,” Garbutt said in the

release. “It’s an excitingtime in the B.C. craft beerscene as there are so manyfantastic breweries open-ing up, we’re just happy tobe a part of that commun-ity.”

Everybody cutFootloose

The New WestminsterSecondary School’s per-forming arts departmentis presenting Footloose themusical next month and ishoping to garner some cor-porate sponsorship to helpwith the show.

Business sponsorshipoptions include: $300 to bean official sponsor, whichmeans the company’s busi-ness logo will appear ina prominent position inthe program as an OfficialSponsor. The business willalso receive two tickets toopening night and an invi-tation to the “Cheers andCheese” event after theshow in Plaskett Gallery.

considered one of the “great” comets thatonly come around once or twice in a life-time.

The other key event is a triple eclipse onJupiter, when all four of the planet’s larg-est moons will be visible, and three will becasting shadows on the surface.

“Jupiter is always fabulous to look at.It’s the brightest thing in the sky,” Kirkeysaid, adding it’s often mistaken for anairplane.

The triple eclipse should be visible from10:28 until 10:52 p.m. The next one isexpected in 2032. Because Jupiter is somassive, the moons only cast small shad-ows on the planet’s surface. The fourthGalileo moon will also be visible.

Galileo Galilei was the first to discover

Jupiter’s four largest moons, hence thename, and they were a major indicatorthat the universe did not revolve aroundEarth.

On Friday, there will be 10 to 20 tele-scopes set up for the public to look through,and Kirkey will be there manning one ofthem.

The star gazing party runs from 8 until11:45 p.m. by the pedestrian path lead-ing to the Trottier Observatory on SFU’sBurnaby campus, just west of the upperbus loop. For a precise map, go to RASC’sMeetup page at www.meetup.com/astronomy-131.

Visit www.sfu.ca/starrynights to makesure the event is still on, as it is weatherdependent, and Friday’s forecast calls forrain.


Stars: Event set for Friday on mountain

What could a pilot, a politician, a crimi-nal and a cop have in common? They allsurvived a deadly plane crash in NorthernAlberta.

Carol Shaben is the daughter of one ofthe survivors and has written a rivetingbook, Into the Abyss, which tells the truestory of the crash and its aftermath.

Shaben will be at the New WestminsterPublic Library on Tuesday, Feb. 3 at 7 p.m.to present a slide/talk about her book.

In the book, Shaben presents the dra-matic account of the plane crash and howthe four survivors, who waited in sub-zerotemperatures for help, found that their

survival hinged on one of the four: a pris-oner in transit to face charges.

Shaben is an award-winning Vancouver-based author and recipient of two NationalMagazine Awards, including a gold medalfor Investigative Journalism.

Into the Abyss is her first book. It receivedthe 2013 Edna Staebler National Award forNon-Fiction and was a finalist for the B.C.Book Prizes Hubert Evan’s Non-FictionPrize.

The New Westminster Public Library isat 716 Sixth Ave. Pre-register for the talk atthe library, by phone at 604-527-4667 or byemail to [email protected].

Dear Car Talk:I have a 2005 Mercury

Sable with 37,000 miles and abrand-new battery. I recentlytook it to a local ASE-certi-fied auto repair shop for start-ing problems. After havingthe car all day, the servicemanager gave me a writ-ten diagnosis, in which hismechanic claimed there was aslow current draw within thewiring inside the instrumentpanel.

I was told that it wouldtake two weeks for the panelto be sent away to have thewiring refurbished, at a costof about $800. I paid for thediagnostic time, which was$120, and took the weekendto think about the largerrepair.

I decided to get a secondopinion, so I took it to aFord dealership and quicklygot a diagnosis as merely afaulty starter. They replacedmy starter, and now the carstarts great.

I called the owner of theASE shop to tell him that hismechanic had grossly mis-diagnosed my car. I asked forhalf of the diagnostic fee back.This request was rejectedout of hand, because he saidthe mechanic worked all daytracking down this wiringpanel problem (which didn’texist). What do you think ofwhat happened?

– Danny

Ray: The first mechanicwent down what is calleda rabbit hole, Danny. I’msure his intentions were tosolve your problem andmake you happy. But heended up wasting a day ofhis time – and $120 of yourmoney.

My guess is that hesuspected the starter,but when he tested it, itworked fine. I’m guess-

ing that your “startingproblem” was intermittent,right? Your car would startsometimes and not startother times. That’s whyyou brought it in. That’svery common.

So, when the batteryand starter tested fine forhim, he checked for a cur-rent drain and found thatsomething was drawingpower from the batterywhen the car was turnedoff.

He assumed that wasthe cause of your startingproblem – that somethingwas draining your batteryto the point where it didnot have enough powerto start the engine. Sohe traced it as far as theinstrument panel and thenran out of daylight.

What he may not haveknown, and probablyshould have known, isthat just about all carsthese days have things thatdraw current when thecar is off and the key is inyour pocket. Things likethe alarm system, the maincomputer, the body controlmodule, the radio presetsand the fuel vapour recov-ery system all can requiresome sustaining power,depending on the car. Ifyou leave any moderncar for two to three weeksnowadays, it won’t start,for exactly that reason.

So he accurately diag-nosed a current drain,Danny, which is good. Butwhat he diagnosed was anormal condition that hasnothing to do with yourstarting problem, which isbad.

So you took it to thedealer, and the dealerknew, from experience,that the starters in thesecars (like many starters)often fail intermittently.And the dealer made aneducated guess that thestarter was failing, andhe replaced it (or he mayhave gotten lucky and seenit misbehave while he wastesting it).

In any case, your carhas been starting reliably

ever since. Hopefully, sinceyou wrote to me, it’s stillstarting reliably – in whichcase the dealer guessedcorrectly.

If your car fails to startagain, then perhaps thefirst guy was actually onto something. And maybethe current drain was not

“normal,” but was causedby a wiring problem.

But my guess is that thefirst guy did his best butunfortunately didn’t havethe knowledge or experi-ence to know what a nor-mal current drain shouldbe.

If he really spent all day

trying to track down yourproblem, then chargingyou $120 was already aconcession (that’s the ratefor an hour or maybe twoof labour, depending onthe shop).

But if that were myshop, I still would havehappily refunded you half

the cost of the diagnosis,with an apology.

Well, maybe not “hap-pily”! But I would havedone it, in the interests offairness and good custom-er service.

Hoop coach sets record career markBruce Langford made

Simon Fraser Universityprogram history Saturdaynight.

The women’s basketballcoach passed hall of famerAllison McNeil in careerwins following SFU’s 76-56 victory over WesternOregon at home on Jan.17.

The win was Langford’s364th career victory inNCAA Division II andCanadian InteruniversitySport, surpassing McNeill,who had a win/loss recordof 363-79 with the Clan inNAIA and one season ofCIS.

“It’s nice to win thisgame here at home infront of some people whocame out to watch usplay tonight, because thisgame was special,” saidLangford in a school pressrelease. “A lot of my ex-players were here, and Igot to win the game infront of my grandson.”

In his 14th season at thehelm of the women’s team,Langford’s numbers makehim the most successfulbasketball coach in Clanhistory.

Langford teams placedfirst overall on eight sep-arate occasions and wonfive Canadian collegiatenational titles in nine sea-sons in the Canada Westconference, includingundefeated runs in 2002and 2005.

Seven times a Langford-coached team has amassedmore than 30 wins in a

season. On two occasions,Langford led SFU on win-ning streaks of 45 and 54games without a loss.

In 2013, Langford guid-ed the Clan to second placein the Great Northwestconference with a 25-6 sea-son and to the Round of 16at the national champion-ships in SFU’s first year ofNCAA eligibility.

But it’s less about thenumbers than it is for theyoung women who havepassed through the bas-ketball program, saidLangford.

“That’s very special,”he said. “It’s sharing theirsuccesses – going to theirweddings and gradua-tions.”

In the history-mak-ing win on Saturday,Erin Chambers scored agame-high 21 points. MegWilson chipped in with19 points and a game-high nine rebounds, whileguard Ellen Kett dishedout a game-best 10 assistsin the win.

Div. I transfer AlishaRoberts of Burnaby, whohad five points and two

steals in the memorablevictory, had high praisefor Langford.

“Great coaches impactyour life on and off thecourt, and Bruce has donethat for me,” she said inthe release.

Earlier in the week,Clan freshman RachelFradgley registered agame-high 20 points and11 rebounds to give SFUan 83-70 win over SaintMartin’s University, tyingLangford with McNeill incareer wins with 363.

Roberts chipped in with

11 points in the program-tying win.

“You just try to winevery game, one at a time,”Langford said.

This week, the Clanare up against toughopponents in Alaska withgames against fifth-placeFairbanks and confer-ence leader Anchorage onSaturday. It gets no easierthe following week, whenSFU tips off against No. 2Seattle Pacific.

“This is going to be ahuge test to see where wereally are at,” he said.

Win No. 364: Simon Fraser University women’s basketball coach Bruce Langford became the program’s win-ningest coach in Clan history on Saturday.

Knight basketball teams win JV Chancellor tourneys

The St. Thomas More Knights swept both boys’ andgirls’ junior varsity Chancellor basketball tournaments.

“This was a great win for us,” said STMcoach Jen Farano. “Anabela Chiu rebounded extremelywell, and our point guard Emma Stewart-Barnett playedamazing defence, while running our offence.”

Marcella Mauro netted eight points to lead STM pastLangley Christian 40-24 in the tournament semifinal.

In the boys’ JV final, the honourable mention Knightscame back from a double-digit deficit to upset No. 1-ranked Walnut Grove 60-58 on Saturday. EJ Escobedoand Liam Feenan led the Knights back from the 15-point,third-quarter deficit in the win over the Gators.

Earlier, Galicia nailed a game-winning buzzer beater inthe tournament semifinal that beat No. 7-ranked Killarney49-47 to advance the Knights into the Chancellor final.

“The boys showed a true Knights’ never give-up atti-tude,” said STM JV head coach Dominic Zimmermann.

B.C. CatholicsSTM placed second-best at the B.C. Catholics basket-

ball tournament.The Knight boys placed third at the annual showdown

following a 48-41 win over St. Patrick’s of Vancouver onSaturday.

JJ DesLauriers led STM with 15 points in the consola-tion final.

Vancouver College defeated Holy Cross 66-53 to winthe Catholic tourney.

STM failed to advance to the final after falling toNo. 10 quad A Holy Cross 66-53 behind Edward Ju’s 13points.

“We just turned the ball over too many times to win,”said STM head coach Aaron Mitchell. “Overall, we stillneed to compete harder and communicate like a team inorder to get where we want.”

Cam Morris scored 11 points in STM’s 39-34 opening-tournament win over Notre Dame.

The Knight girls finished in fourth place at the Catholics,losing in overtime 42-41 to Little Flower Academy in theconsolation final. Zion Corrales-Nelson led STM with 24points, while Xenia Dumont contributed 13 rebounds,including seven on the offensive boards.

Stephanie Von Riedermann and Laurette Ticong bothscored 10 points in an opening win over St. Pat’s.

“It was a tough weekend for the girls,” said head coachJen Farano.



MVP: Grade 8 Shiloh Corrales-Nelson.

The Burnaby SouthRebels showed theirstrength and weakness thisweek.

The No. 2-ranked Rebelsgave a very good accountof themselves against apremier high school teamfrom Los Angeles, finish-ing runner-up to formerCalifornia State championFairfax High 80-61 in thefinal of the AbbotsfordSnowball basketball tour-nament last Saturday.

The second-place finishcame on the heels of a 99-67win over honourable men-tion Yale and a 96-89 vic-tory over No. 5 Kelowna inthe tournament semifinal.

“We actually playedreally, really well,” saidSouth head coach Mike Bellabout the loss to Fairfax.“They had talent all theway down the bench. …We left the gym feelinggood about it, and youdon’t often say that abouta 19-point loss.”

All of that good feelingvanished almost overnightfollowing a 78-76 defeat atByrne Creek in a districtleague game on Mondayafternoon.
