By Wanda ChowNEWSLEADER

The sun is shining and Bob Rutherford is in his element—the back-

yard garden of his South Burnaby home.

He’s got umbrellas on stakes protecting his bloom-ing prized dahlias from direct sun and rain. His greenhouse is fi lled with bright red tomato plants and a lone cantaloupe. Leeks and onions abound and grape-vines line the rear fence while honeybees peruse the fl owers.

Every year the yard has been brought to life this way, and each September for 30 years Bob and his wife Virginia have turned it into something of a command centre for their competitions at the South Burnaby Gar-den Club’s annual fall fair.

“You should see the backyard, it’s covered in veg-etables,” said Virginia, 90, with a laugh. “You try to get three carrots to look alike [for their carrot entry] and you dig up two dozen.”

They’ve spent countless hours in the garden, always working to improve it and get better results. Bob, 84, is always trying something new. This year, for the fi rst time, he’s grown a peanut plant.

“We do it because we enjoy it,” he said, “being out amongst it, puttering around.”

Virginia teased, “Putter-

ing! He knows what every tomato is doing, I swear.”

It’s the challenge both have enjoyed, and the con-stant learning.

Virginia recalled one of the fi rst vegetable displays she entered didn’t win, but a fellow competitor took the time to give her some point-ers.

He told her a cob of corn would score higher than a zucchini, since “zucchini, you can’t stop it from grow-ing but a good cob of corn is harder to do.”

All the work put in by participants is impressive, she said.

“It’s actually a wonderful sight to walk in there [to the fall fair] and think every-thing there was grown on a city lot.”

Younger members participating

The precursor of the South Burnaby Garden Club has been holding annual fall fairs since 1901 when the group was located in a hall in Central Park. In those early days, displays for fruit, veg-etables, poultry and needle-work were entered and all the judging was done by the Department of Agriculture out of Vernon.

The fair grew to include competitions of baking, can-ning, fl ower arranging and children’s categories.

Today it’s somewhat smaller, and runs Sept. 10 and 11 at Bonsor Rec Centre,

but Virginia is encouraged by the participation of younger club members and a renewed interest in garden-ing.

In comparison, the Queensborough Urban Farm-ers’ Fall Fair is something of a newbie event at “only” 18 years old, but it continues to carry out its original role as a means of bringing the com-munity together.

Carla Brown, chair of the Queensborough fair which takes place Sept. 18, said it started out as a fundraiser for the New Westminster neighbourhood’s community garden.

Today, the community gar-den is “so ginormous with a huge waiting list so it funds itself,” so other projects ben-efi t from the funds raised. This year, it will go toward

a planned expansion of the community kitchen at the local community centre.

While Brown stressed the fair is about more than competitions, she noted they have participants who come from as far as Abbotsford and Vancouver Island to enter.

And when they’ve sur-veyed visitors, “over the years certainly every one of them has said ‘This is what the PNE used to be.’ “

With the Queensbor-ough Community Centre a construction zone as it undergoes an expansion, the fall fair has been moved to the Queensborough Middle School this year.

As a result, some of its regular offerings, such as messy eating contests (“We can’t do that to our school,”

Brown said with a laugh.) won’t be happening. But it will still include pony rides, sack races, artisans, a farm-ers’ market, a bee and honey display, live entertainment and of course, food.

The Queensborough fall fair is an example of the neighbourhood’s “home-grown values,” Brown said.

“You need to have a vision of people getting together with neighbours, sharing stories with neighbours, keeping the community alive with the heritage and history around them.”

Jellies, pies and moreNew Westminster resident

Ellen Berg, 67, has been entering everything from Spartan apples to quince and blackberry jellies into the Queensborough fair for years.

“I’m making it anyway, I do jellies every year ... So it’s fun.”

Growing up on a farm in Coombs, B.C., Berg recalled the competitions were a big part of such fairs back then. She remembers checking out the entries with interest sim-ply because a neighbour lady was a “queen of the fair” for many years.

Any rivalries she sees at the Queensborough fair are “all in good fun,” said Berg, a member of the New Westminster Horticultural Society.

EARLY MORNING HOMICIDEOne person is dead and another sent to hospital following an incident Thursday morning at a Central Park area apartment complex.Burnaby RCMP said they received a call of a domestic dispute just before 6:30 a.m. in the 4100 block of Maywood Street, between Willingdon and Patterson avenues. When fi rst responders arrived they found one female dead and another injured.The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has been called in to conduct the investigation. The injured female was arrested but was sent to hospital for medical assessment.Police are not releasing the identities pending notifi cation of next of kin.

BACKPACKS GIVEN OUTAbout 500 Burnaby students

will receive backpacks fi lled with basic school supplies they likely would not have been able to afford otherwise.

The kits are part of almost 9,500 kits being donated by Telus Community Ambassadors, a volunteer effort by the company’s employees.

PERMIT VALUE UPThe value of building permits

issued in Burnaby continues to recover from the global economic downturn of a couple years ago.

Through the end of July, city hall had issued building permits with a construction value of almost $315.7 million. That’s up from $293.3 million for the same period last year and $205.4 million in 2009.

The record year remains 2008, when the same period saw $435 million in permits issued.

Fair rivalries all in fun“I think we admire each

other’s work ... There is one pie-maker I don’t think I’ll ever beat because she’s a fantastic pie-maker.”

Brown said the competitions themselves are all about show-ing people the results of hard work and are all in fun. She noted that their pie competition culminates in a fundraising auction of the entries one slice at a time. They’ve gone for upwards of $30 a slice.

“It depends on if you want that piece bad enough,” she said with a laugh.

Berg once bought a slice of her competitor’s prize-winning pie for $7.

“It was very good,” she con-fi rmed.

Virginia Rutherford agreed that any rivalries are friendly and all part of the fun.

She noted that her husband Bob and fellow club member Ray Luporini are always com-peting for the best onion.

“I hugged Ray one year and said, ‘my something or other beat yours, it must be good!’” she said with a laugh.

This year’s fall fair will be Bob’s last as a competitor. Virginia has already decided to pack it in and is cheering from the sidelines. They’ve sold their house and at the end of the month they’re moving into a retirement residence.

“It’s been a great life for 55 years,” Virginia said of their home and garden. “It’s going to be a drastic change.”

They’re hoping to continue gardening in whatever space or containers they manage to get at their new home, and to keep attending meetings of the South Burnaby Garden Club for the social aspect.

In the meantime, Bob has a competition to prepare for. On a recent sunny morning, they were mulling over whether the peanut plant counted as a vegetable and in what category they might be able to enter it.

“I think it goes under ‘other,’” Virginia said.

• South Burnaby Garden Club’s 110th annual fall fair will be held Saturday, Sept. 10, 1 to 5 p.m. and Sunday, Sept. 11, 11 a.m.. to 4 p.m. at Bon-sor Recreation Complex, 6550

Burnaby school district pays roughly $200K


The B.C. New Democrats are calling on the province to stop using money from schools and hospitals to subsidize large polluting corporations, which it says is happening with its carbon offset require-ments.

Last year, British Columbia’s public sector paid more than $18.2 mil-lion to the Pacifi c Carbon Trust, a provincial Crown corporation which uses the money to fund projects aimed at reducing carbon emissions, according to the NDP.

Public sector bodies such as school districts and health authorities pay $25 per tonne of emissions it produces.

The Burnaby school district paid roughly $205,000 last year, including the 82 cents per stu-dent it is forced to pay for a tool to calculate what it owes.

Elsewhere in the public sec-tor, Surrey school district paid $497,000, Vancouver school district $406,000, the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority paid $1.15 million and the University

of British Columbia, $1.52 million.Meanwhile, the Pacifi c Carbon

Trust sent $2 million to oil and gas company Encana to help it reduce its carbon emissions.

“We’re not saying those proj-ects are bad but why should the public sector money go into ret-rofi tting private corporations?”

said Burnaby-Deer Lake NDP MLA Kathy Cor-rigan. She noted that large companies such as Encana are also eligible for signifi cant exemp-tions from the carbon offset requirements for certain aspects of their operations.

“So it’s a double whammy of subsidiza-

tion.”Corrigan said she personally

has always favoured simply hav-ing strong regulations in place to deal with pollution.

“Because I don’t know that you’re bringing down the total carbon output anyways [with carbon offsets].”

Corrigan, a former Burnaby school board chair, said Burn-aby school district has already made great strides in improving the energy effi ciency of its build-ings. And yet, a couple of years ago the Education Ministry cut its facilities grants province-wide, which Burnaby had been using to retrofi t its facilities to

reduce emissions. Those grants have since been reinstated.

As for the roughly $200,000 a year that Burnaby pays in carbon offsets, she said that’s money that could pay for a couple of teachers or possibly hundreds of fi eld trips.

“It was one more download-ing and increasing of fees that the school board has had to contend with, so essentially it’s a cut in their budget again.”

She cited the increase in Medical Services Plan premi-ums for staff, and the full cost of implementing full-day kin-dergarten as other examples. “And that’s why you end up with Burnaby school board, year after year, having to make cuts to services.”

Corrigan said the school district has pushed ahead with making its operations more energy effi cient both because it’s the right thing to do and as a way to reduce energy costs.

“At the very least if there is a requirement for districts [and other public sector bod-ies] to be carbon neutral—this of course does not mean that they’re not emitting carbon anymore, it just means they’re paying for it—that the money come back into projects that benefi t the school district and the public sector.”

Request for ProposalsAllocation of Community Space

The City is inviting proposals from Burnaby-based non-profit community organizations for the lease of all or part of a future City-owned space. The successful proponent would be expected to provide services and programs which respond to priority social, cultural or activity needs of Burnaby residents and which complement existing programs/services, particularly in north Burnaby.

Through the City’s Community Benefit Bonus Policy, the City will gain title to a community amenity space, with a gross floor area of 6,000 square feet, that is being developed as part of an approved high-rise residential development at 2085 Rosser Avenue (at Lougheed Highway). The amenity space will be located in a stand-alone, two-storey building on the southwest corner of Rosser Avenue and Lougheed Highway. The net leasable floor area will depend on the design of the space and the area required for circulation such as stairs, elevator and entry lobby (at a minimum, about 15% (900 square feet) of the gross floor area will be required for circulation).

An information session for interested non-profit organizations will be held at Burnaby City Hall on Thursday, September 15, 2011 from 2 – 3:30 p.m. in the Council Committee Room.

The Request for Proposals package can be found on the B.C. Bid Website at www.bcbid.gov.bc.ca or through the following link: www.burnaby.ca (click on Bid Opportunities, Results & FAQs). Please direct any questions about the RFP to [email protected] or 604-294-7370.

Deadline for submission of proposals is 3 p.m., Monday, October 3, 2011.


It’s back to school week. Sort of.Because this fi rst week of school will be

unlike any other.Oh sure, kids and parents are being jolted

out of their lazy routines of summer to a new regime of early alarms, hasty breakfasts and packing lunches. Traffi c in and around school zones is hectic, as parents drop off and retrieve their charges. School playgrounds, silent and mostly deserted for the past two months, are suddenly alive again with excited chatter and screeches as kids burn off the energy that builds up during long ses-sions cooped up in classrooms.

But beneath the facade, there is tension.In their bid to negotiate a new contract

with the provincial government, teachers are working to rule. That means they’re not attending staff meetings or communicat-ing with their administrators. They’re not keeping watch over the playgrounds during recess. They’re not scheduling meetings with parents.

If the dispute carries on, the teachers say they won’t produce report cards.

Given the gap between the demands of the B.C. Teachers Federation and the govern-ment’s determination to hold the line on public sector wage increases, there’s every indication the impasse will continue, even escalate.

Once again, kids are caught in the middle.The teachers say their demands aren’t just

monetary; they want to improve the quality of education they’re able to provide by having fewer students in every classroom and more services for children with special needs.

The government says it can’t afford the teachers’ demands, monetary and otherwise. Yet it has no such concern about spending half a billion dollars on a retractable roof for BC Place Stadium, a facility many say was already obsolete years ago.

Quality education is too valuable a com-modity to become a bargaining chip. An investment in kids today is an investment in the province’s future.

VICTORIA – Bill Vander Zalm’s most fantastic claim after the defeat of the harmonized sales tax was that B.C. could go back to the old provincial sales tax in six weeks if the government wanted to.

Remember, this is the guy who once fi gured he could run an election campaign out of his car. He also promised to cut the price of beer, and then once elected, brought in a property purchase tax instead, without consultation. But I digress.

Vander Zalm’s typically simplistic analysis soon gave rise to another conspiracy theory. That’s the one that holds that the B.C. Liberals are drag-ging their feet on reinstating the old provincial sales tax so they can rake in added revenue for another 18 months. That would help repay the federal gov-ernment $1.6 billion for the transition fund that helped B.C. institute the HST.

The fi nance ministry provided some details to get a better sense of the task ahead. First, there are 70,000 businesses in B.C. that switched their accounting and point-of-sale systems to the HST. It’s not likely that they kept notes, hardware and software on hand in anticipation of having to switch back.

Then there are the roughly 1,000 businesses

that start up each month in B.C. Assuming most of that continues, by the time the federal and pro-vincial governments undo the HST in March 2013, there will be thousands of businesses that have no experience dealing with the PST. They’re in for an unpleasant surprise.

Here’s one example. Smart Tax Alli-ance co-chair Mike Jagger got involved in the effort to defend the HST because of his experience running a security company in Vancouver. Due to the ambiguous nature of the PST rules, he got expert advice on how to pay the tax. Three different experts gave him three different answers.

You have probably heard by now that after the rejection of the HST by 55 per cent of voters, the PST is to be reinstated as it was before July 2010.

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon vowed, “I can assure British Columbians PST will not be applied to such items as restaurant meals, bikes and gym memberships – just as it was before the HST was introduced in B.C.”

That sounds pretty defi nitive. But I’ve learned in the last two years that there is seldom a simple answer with sales taxes.

For instance, should B.C. reduce tobacco taxes by seven per cent? Unless you’re a smoker, you probably didn’t notice that the HST raised the

price of cigarettes by that amount. Tobacco was PST exempt, with the province historically having chosen to impose a separate “sin tax” instead.

Liquor taxes also went down under HST, from a 10-per-cent provincial tax to seven per cent. The B.C. government increased the Liquor Distribu-tion Branch markup to hold onto the revenue, billing it as a policy move so as not to encourage drinking.

The hotel room tax also went down by a point under HST. Should that be raised? These are policy decisions that still must be made, with the province still in defi cit.

• A correction to last week’s column: I referred to a PST reduction for Toyota Prius hybrids, sug-gesting it would be restored.

In fact this tax break had a sunset clause, and would have expired in March 2011 in any case. B.C.’s 2008 “green budget” brought in a series of PST incentives for fuel-effi cient vehicles, from $1,000 to $2,000 depending on how carbon-effi cient they were. PST exemptions were also extended to Energy Star appliances.

The centerpiece of that budget was the carbon tax.

The province has released the salaries and compensa-tion for the top public sector executives in B.C., and it shows Fraser Health CEO Dr. Nigel Murray received more remu-neration than any other health authority head.

Murray’s base salary was $349,000 and his total compensation $444,000. Vancouver Island Health Author-ity CEO Howard Waldner was close behind at $442,000, while the lowest-paid health authority CEO was Northern’s Catherine Ulrich at $362,000.

Other executive compensa-tion at Fraser Health included:

Brian Woods, VP corporate services integration and CFO, $355,000,

Dr. Andrew Webb, VP medi-cine, $328,000,

Barbara Korabek, VP clinical operations, $292,000, and

Arden Krystal, also VP clini-cal operations, $292,000.

Krystal was formerly the executive director of Burnaby Hospital.

Educational institution sala-

ries were also released with B.C. Institute of Technology president Don Wright collect-ing $15,000 more than his coun-terpart across town at Simon Fraser University. Wright had

a base salary of $257,500 with total compensa-tion of $301,699 while Petter made a salary of $213,060 and $286,417 in total.

Compensation for presidents of other post-secondary institutions in the Lower Mainland was around $200,000

with the exception of UBC’s Stephen Toope, who made the province’s top 10 at $579,000.

This is the fourth year the provincial government has pub-licly reported the compensation of public sector executives. It requires public sector organi-zations to disclose base salary, benefi ts, employer pension contributions and performance payments. The disclosure requirements apply to CEOs and the next four highest-ranking executives by pay.

“These reports ensure public-sector compensation reporting continues to meet best practice standards for dis-closure, and they provide the

public with background about the compensation philosophy of the organization and how it relates to performance,” said a press release from Victoria.

The 10 highest-paid execu-tives in the province for 2010-2011 were:

1. T.M. Bechard, managing director of Powerex-BC Hydro, $1.011 million

2. Allan Seckel, deputy min-ister to the premier, $924,000 (severance $550,000)

3. Martyn Brown, deputy minister of jobs tourism and innovation, $653,000 (severance $416,000)

4. Stephen Toope, president UBC, $579,000

5. Warren Buckley, president and CEO B.C. Pavilion Corp, $564,000

6. Kevin Mahoney, presi-dent and CEO, BC Railway Company, $523,000 (severance $392,000)

7. Geri Prior, CFO ICBC, $523,000

8. T.M. Conway, president and CEO, Powerex-BC Hydro, $522,000

Robber causes border commotionBy Todd Coyne

BLACK PRESS

It’s not what the bank robber took but what he left behind that had police scrambling Wednesday to keep pedestrians and commuters away from a credit union on the Burnaby-Coquitlam border.

“Not in 29 years have I seen anything like this before — never,” said RCMP Insp. Al Ramey.

Behind him, a robot from the RCMP’s Explosives Disposal Unit (EDU) entered the Vancity credit union at 3977 North Rd. armed with a video camera and two shotgun-like “disruptor cannons.”

At approximately 11:20 a.m., Burnaby RCMP received a report of a bank robbery in progress at the credit union. A middle-aged man carrying a briefcase reportedly walked up to an employee and demanded money, somehow communicat-ing to her that he had a bomb inside his briefcase.

Police will not say whether the teller handed over any money but the suspect promptly left the bank, leaving behind his case.

One witness who spoke to Black Press reported seeing a fl ood of people leaving the credit union just before police arrived. Among them were some Vancity employees who gave chase after the man “at a discrete distance,” following

him into the Sears outlet store on Austin Avenue, where he was “subdued by warehouse workers,” Ramey said.

The man was interviewed by Burnaby RCMP Wednesday and Ramey said police were still trying to fi gure out who he is, adding that he was not co-operating with investigators.

“Given the possibility of an IED [improvised explosive device], we cordoned off the area and evacuated a safe radius and restricted all traf-fi c,” Ramey said.

By 12:15 p.m., Mounties with the Annacis Island-based EDU had arrived, sending their remote-controlled robot into the credit union to examine the suspicious case.

By 1 p.m., the offi cers con-trolling the robot from a nearby van instructed the dozens of Burnaby RCMP offi cers on-scene to halt all vehicle and pedestrian traffi c through the intersection of North Road and Gatineau Place.

At 1:05 p.m., the robot fi red one of its explosive charges into the case, opening it suf-fi ciently that an armour-laden EDU member was able to enter the building and determine that whatever may have been in the case had been neutralized.

“It’s like something out of the movies,” Insp. Ramey said.

By Thursday afternoon, Burnaby RCMP Cpl. Brenda Gresiuk confi rmed that no bomb was found at the scene. “It was determined after it was blown up that there was no explosive inside,” she said.

She also said police had no further information to release about the suspect except that they believe he was acting alone.

As for the actions of the Van-city employees who followed the suspect and the Sears employees who subdued him until police arrived, Ramey said that neither company condones that kind of action — nor does the RCMP.

“We just ask that you call 911 and then follow whatever pro-tocols there are,” Ramey said. “You don’t know who these guys are and for a little bit of money, it’s not worth it.”

To go to public hearing on Sept. 20


Burnaby council gave the go-ahead for several rezoning applications to proceed to public hear-ing on Sept. 20.

Anthem Properties and the Beedie Group are proposing a complete transformation of Station Square shopping centre. The current rezoning application is for the fi rst of fi ve phases which would involve the extensive renovation of the shopping area south of Kingsborough Street.

It is also seeking to establish development plan guidelines for the almost 12-acre site which, if approved by council, would eventually be home to residential units within fi ve towers ranging in height from 35 to 57 storeys, as well as commer-cial space at grade and offi ce space.

The entire site would be redesigned to be pedestrian-friendly and “showcases a highly creative approach,” said a city staff report.

“The overall redevelopment approach for the site begins with the creation of a very high

quality public realm, which is designed with the intent of both attracting people and, once on site, keeping people there.”

Another project nearby, at 6634 and 6638 Dow Ave., is also seeking rezoning approval to allow for 253 units in a 33-storey highrise apartment tower with townhouses. Currently, the site is comprised of a vacant, older two-storey plus-penthouse apartment building in “very poor condition,” and two empty lots, the report said.

There is no commercial space being proposed for Beresford Street at ground level due to the site’s location backing onto Maywood Commu-nity School, the fact there is no other commercial space the the immediate area and limited road access.

Over in the Edmonds area, a 71-unit, four-storey apartment building is being proposed for 7125, 7133, 7139 and 7145 Stride Ave. and 7132, 7134 and 7138 16th Ave.

The developer plans to daylight a section of Byrne Creek through the site as part of the project.

The public hearing will be held at 7 p.m. Tues-day, Sept. 20 in city hall council chambers.

Council to consider several rezoning proposals

By Tom FletcherBLACK PRESS

Fewer than 500 police offi cers found themselves dealing with a crowd of 155,000 hockey fans and troublemakers much more quickly than they expected, a review of the Stanley Cup riot has found.

Police started out with 446 offi cers on the streets of downtown Vancouver on June 15, and had 928 on duty by the time the situation was brought under control, said a report issued last Thursday by two reviewers appointed by the B.C. government.

Unlike the 1994 riot, police from different cities were able to communicate, but due to a lack of practice working together, there was still confu-sion, the report said. Another difference from 1994 was the expansion of SkyTrain service, which rapidly delivered many more people to the downtown core.

The police “meet and greet” technique that was effective during similar downtown gatherings at the Olympics in February could not function because of the size and early arrival of the crowd, said Doug Keefe, the former Nova Scotia

deputy minister who conducted the review along with former Vancouver Olympic CEO John Furlong.

NDP public safety critic Kathy Corrigan said the province needs to help fund the regional event security recommended by the report. Corrigan said Chu is wrong that people can’t be charged with additional offences if new evidence comes forward.

The report makes 53 recom-mendations to prevent or con-tain future incidents, including having the RCMP and Vancou-ver Police tactical squads train together.

TOYOTA INVESTS IN FUTURE

HINT: Sometimes the answers are right below

CROSSWORD

WE DOUBLE CHECK DOUBLE CHECK OUR INSPECTIONS WITH BCAA INSPECTIONS FOR YOUR

PEACE OF MIND!

Consumers have long operated under the presumption that “bigger is better,” which is often refl ected in the size of the vehicles on the road. However, future mandates on fuel economy could signifi -cantly increase the number of compact cars being bought and sold.

Toyota is already beginning to invest heavily in smaller vehicles. Compact cars were popular and prominently fea-tured attractions at auto shows through-out 2010 and into 2011.

Consumers who once leaned toward larger vehicles may now purchase com-pact cars thanks to escalating fuel costs and more eco-conscious consumerism. Compact hybrids have become trendy among the celebrity set, and many fans may choose to emulate their favorite A-listers. The “green” movement has certainly changed consumer perception of small cars.

Compact cars like the Toyota Prius could grow increasingly visible on the nation’s roadways thanks to future government regulations regarding fuel economy.

Audiologists cannot bill the Medical Services Plan for their professional services. Payment for a complete hearing test ensures you will receive an unbiased, professional opinion.

It is common to include this fee when you buy hearing aids.

Hearing aids must be ordered within 6 months of your last hearing test

If you are covered by a third party such as WorkSafe BC or Veterans Affairs Canada,they will be billed for the hearing test.

Extended health plans may pay for the hearing test. Contact your

insurance company to see if you can be reimbursed for a hearing test.

Pen and ink witMerv Magus has been drawing comics his whole life,

capturing his observations about sports and life

Country vegetable soup

INGREDIENTS

4 -5 large slicing tomatoes chopped (you can peel them prior to stewing, or leave the skin on)1 large russet potato chopped1/2 onion chopped fi ne1/2 cup veggies – corn, okra, peas, lima beans, chopped carrots, green beans (use any veggies you like!)salt and pepper to taste

METHOD

In a medium sized pot, simmer the onion and toma-toes until they begin to break down and skins come off tomatoes. Remove skins from pot if desired. Add in potato. Simmer until potato slightly tender. Then, add in other veggies until fully cooked. This takes approximately 2 hours on the stove top. You can add a little water or veggie stock to the soup if necessary, but it shouldn’t need much.

Merv Magus’s distracted doodles as a boy became his lifelong avocation. But the shrinking world of print media is making it harder for his comics to fi nd an audience.Magus, who’s been retired for 10 years after teaching for 33, has been drawing for as long as he can remember. His caricatures fi lled the margins of his school books. He doodled during his studies at the University of British Columbia, where he took fi ne arts as a minor component of his degree. He kept on drawing when he embarked on his teaching career at Burnaby Central secondary.He drew cartoons about his buddies in recreational hockey, his observations from the sidelines as a track, rugby and basketball coach, his experiences as a teacher and about the world around him.In the late 1960s he submitted a bunch of his cartoons, about a moose that lived in South Vancouver, to the local community newspaper that was distributed in his neighbourhood. The editor liked them, even printed a number of them, encouraging Magus to do more.“The success rate helps you start to do more,” says Magus, who then sent some of his cartoons about hockey to the newly-minted Vancouver Canucks. The team’s public relations director at the time, Norm Jewison, said he’d try to fi t the occasional one in when an ad space didn’t sell. Magus’ relationship with the Canucks lasted more than 20 years.But the corporatization of big-league sports and the advent of the Internet have made it harder for him to fi nd buyers for his pen-and-ink wit. Posting a panel or strip to his website just isn’t the same as seeing it printed on paper.“I’m from the old days,” says Magus. “I like print, I like the smell of the newspaper.”Ironically, his website helped land him his biggest current client, a golf magazine based in Malaysia for which he draws cartoons about golf, a sport with endless frustrations that make good comic fodder.To see some of Magus’ comics, as well as purchase a book of some his greatest hits about hockey, go to www.cartoonroom.com.

Wake up, eat, go to school, learn, eat, practise piano, prac-tise soccer, eat, sleep, repeat.

Ready for another year of the same-old, same-old? You don’t have to be. It’s easier than you think to break the boring school cycle and keep your year interesting. From September to June, there’s always something to do, see, eat, or watch that will allow you to mix up the routine. All you

need to do is look for small opportunities and events that inter-est and excite you. If you get more involved, you’ll be more moti-vated and you’ll fi nd greater opportunities for success—and you’ll fi nd yourself having fun, no matter where you are, what you’re doing, or who you’re with.

Start smallWhen making

changes, it’s best to start small. Change your routine in small, manageable ways. For example, wake up to your favourite play-list or radio station instead of to an annoy-ing, abrasive alarm sound every morning to get a positive start to the day. Find a friend to walk to school with or one who takes the same bus as you. Even better, fi nd a completely new and unique way to get to school or practice: bike riding is a good way to get more exercise, and parkour is becoming more and more popu-lar for those seeking a more adventurous way to travel.

Small changes at school are easy to make and will keep you engaged through-out the year. If you have a locker, try deco-rating it with pictures, quotes and colours. Seeing visual remind-ers of things that make you happy at various points throughout the day will, in turn, make you happier. Keep your books and binders organized so you can grab them and go, leaving more time to spend with your friends.

Get involvedGetting involved in

activities will com-pletely change your attitude and will allow you to really make this year a memorable one. Sports teams are always looking for new players—from beginner level com-munity teams, to high level school or league teams, joining a sport will introduce you to new people, and get you active, which is proven to improve

focus and motivation. If you’re not a fan of the typical sports, look for something more unique such as badminton, Quidditch (seriously, there are teams!) or mountain biking. Joining a club or student council is a lot more fun than it sounds, too; you’ll get the chance to do all kinds of things, like organize talent shows, meet the mayor, and travel to places such as San Diego for confer-ences and forums.

There are lots of extracurricular events and adventures to look forward to throughout the year that can keep things exciting—you just have to keep your eyes open for fun, low-cost activities that appeal to you and your friends. In September, lots of summer stuff is still going on; just because school has started doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy beach volleyball, campfi res, outdoor movie screenings, outdoor theatre, music and cultural festivals, and more. Don’t forget that student ID gets you discounted admission to local places you’ve probably forgotten about, such as Science World, the aquarium, the art gallery and the space centre—all of which are worth rediscover-ing.

As the weather cools off, look for more indoor events to take

part in. Check out your local community cen-tre for youth dances, which bring together students from differ-ent schools; if you’re a little older, there are always all-ages events being organized in the community, from dances to concerts to movie nights. Fall is the perfect time to discover indoor physi-cal activities, too. Try a zumba class for a fun fi tness alternative, or a new type of yoga; join a boxing gym or a martial arts studio, or learn how to tap dance. Those are all ways to keep active that anyone can try, and they’ll keep you moving in a much more unique way.

Keep things freshWinter is the easiest

time of year to slip into boring school patterns. You’re only halfway done, there’s gray slush on the ground trying to pass as snow, and everything feels so sluggish. But don’t forget what makes the Lower Mainland so great! Ski, board or skate on our beautiful mountains and then take advantage of snowless activities too. Get your holiday shopping done at a craft market, or visit the mall with a group of friends. Find dif-ferent ways to give and receive gifts like Secret Santa or trea-sure hunts. You’ll also

fi nd lots of holiday-inspired events happening around town: try riding the Christmas train in Stanley Park, skating at Robson Square, watching the Polar Express in IMAX 3D, or entering a ginger-bread house contest. Sip a peppermint hot chocolate when it gets a little too chilly.

In the spring, jump on the playoff bandwagon and cheer on your Vancouver Canucks, if you haven’t been following them already. Even for those not interested in hockey, the playoffs are exciting and each game turns into some-thing to look forward to. They’re most fun to watch with a loud group…and make sure to wear your blue pride on your sleeve.

Variety the spice of life

Trying new food will also keep your year interesting. From dynamite rolls to wontons, from falafel to deep-fried Mars Bars, make an effort to add variety to your diet. Food is an easy way to spice up your school day, and weekends can be spent trying out new recipes with all the adventur-ous friends you’ve made over the course of the year. Spring is a great time for food, since everything starts to grow again. Local is always the way to go, and eating outside can change the pace of a sunny day.

In short, the best way to make this year the most rewarding yet is by pushing your-self to try new things and take risks. Take on a task that you never thought you’d try, like a pastry-bak-ing class, a robotics course, orienteering, creative writing, or model United Nations. Set higher goals and challenge yourself to achieve them. Start seeing everything as an adventure; you’ll be surprised at how much you’ll achieve, and best of all, you’ll meet new friends everywhere who have all kinds of things in common with you.

Making the most of your year
