police officer.“They’re on the job

and they’re in a very vul-nerable position because they don’t really have anywhere to go,” Arkell said.

The strongest sentence handed down recently was 33 months in prison for someone convicted of two counts of aggravated assault, one for choking a bus driver and the other for stabbing another pas-senger once off the bus, he said.

Last year, Del Louie pleaded guilty to a Feb-ruary 2011 assault in Burnaby on bus driver Charles Dixon, who sus-tained a shattered orbital bone.

Louie received a con-ditional sentence of 18 months to be served in the community, with two years probation.

Dixon underwent multiple surgeries to repair the damage and address related health complications and was off work 14 months be-fore getting back behind the wheel of a bus last May.

Don MacLeod, presi-dent of Canadian Auto Workers Local 111, which represents Metro Vancouver bus drivers, said it’s important to not only look at a snapshot of assault numbers.

While the number may be down this year, “the previous year there was actually an increase of over 20 per cent,” Ma-cLeod said.

MacLeod would like to see Transit Police and transit security more ac-tive on board the bus sys-tem and stiffer sentences involving jail time.

“The courts need to recognize it’s simply

unacceptable to assault public service workers out there. It particularly is concerning when our members get assaulted when they’re behind the wheel, there have been some when the coach has been in motion.”

There have been as-saults against bus driv-ers as long as there have been bus drivers but the nature of such attacks have changed.

“They seem to be

more brazen and some of them seem to involve weapons,” MacLeod said, noting last week a bus in Surrey was the scene of a stabbing incident which spilled out onto the side-walk.

“Our members are vulnerable out there be-hind the wheel and they just want to get home safe at the end of the day and get their passengers safely from point A to point B.”

To the editor

Dear editor,

I feel compelled to write as I have heard so many people commenting on the bud-get introduced on Tuesday (Feb. 19). I am normally the � rst person to look for ways to reduce taxes, especially for the under privileged in soci-ety. However, I fail to see how a two per cent increase on those earn-ing more than $150,000 and a one per cent increase to big business is going to hurt them or B.C.

I think the more important thing, in these economic times, is that B.C. is the � rst province to deliver a balanced bud-get in Canada since the recession. And as B.C.’s economy gets better, and provin-cial revenues increase, these speci� c tax increases should be the � rst to go. � en the government can continue by reduc-ing taxes even further to encourage our economy and allow businesses to take risks and hire British Columbians.

Marney HoganLangley

Bravo for balanced budget

� e BC Liberal government’s plans to boost income taxes on business and high-income earners takes a page out of the NDP opposition’s plans, and makes sense.

� e NDP plan had called for the corporate tax rate to go to 12 per cent, where it stood in 2008. � e BC Liberals are boosting the cor-porate tax rate to 11 per cent on April 1.

� e provincial government also will im-pose a higher personal income tax rate on individuals with incomes of $150,000 or more. � eir provincial income taxes will rise 2.1 per cent to a rate of 16.8 per cent, as of Jan. 1, 2014.

Both of these tax increases are necessary at this time, given the � nancial shackles the province is in. It has been running large de� -cits, at least partly because of much lower natural gas prices, which have a ected gov-ernment revenues.

� e province is claiming it will balance the budget in 2013-14, largely because it plans to sell more than $600 million in surplus prop-erty. Given that the real estate market has so� ened somewhat, that is probably an op-timistic � gure. � ere is nothing wrong with selling surplus properties, but there are prob-ably too many properties on this list.

� e provincial government is also boosting

MSP premiums again next year. � is is com-pletely unfair to moderate income earners, who do not get the exemption from paying the premiums that goes to low income people. � is will be the � � h year in a row the premi-ums will increase, and they will have jumped by 28 per cent since 2008. � ere should be no additional boost in MSP premiums.

� is budget is cra� ed with the May 14 election in mind, and while its revenue as-sumptions may be sound, as economist Tim O’Neill asserted last week, it is very much a political document.

It is designed to convince wavering voters that the BC Liberals are competent money managers. Over the course of the past 12 years, the Liberals have been sound money managers much of the time, but in recent years their record has been more mixed.

� e Liberals were hoping for a big boost in revenue through the HST, but that was torpe-doed by voters because of the bumbling way the government brought in the tax. � at hurt their reputation as competent managers.

By adopting part of the NDP platform, the Liberals may have unintentionally tele-graphed that the NDP too has good � scal ideas.

CHRISTINE CHENG

Just as keeping our houses clean promotes a better sense of well-being and allows for greater en-joyment of our houses, keeping our bodies cleansed via detoxi� cation helps us to feel better and enjoy life more fully.

So, where does the “dirt” come from? Our daily activities expose our bodies to many different toxins. Whether they be in the form of drugs that we take for medically necessary reasons, additives or preservatives found in our food, environmental toxins found in the air around us, or cellular debris from normal metabolic processes as well as disease processes, it is virtually impossible to avoid exposure. A buildup of toxins can lead to fatigue, degeneration, aging, and weakening of our immune defense. Toxins can lead to in� ammation, which has been associated with many diseases includ-ing diabetes and cancer.

Detoxifying our bodies involves removing toxins from the cells and encouraging their expulsion via the lymphatic system as well as the liver and kidneys. Herb-al products are effective for cleaning structures outside of the cell, i.e., the lymph, blood, liver, kidneys and bowel. In other words, herbs are good for cleaning out-side the “house” or cells. Homeopathic remedies can also clean the inside of the “house” by stimulating the cell to kick-out toxins by activating intra-cellular mech-anisms. Detoxi� cations can be done for general cleans-ing, ongoing cleansing, or for preparing the body for upcoming therapies.

The basis of every detoxi� cation should be ade-quate water intake. Water not only � ushes out the sys-tem, it is a vehicle in which toxins can dissolve and be removed from the body. Adequate intake of fruits and vegetables helps with water intake, but also provides

the body with vitamins that are necessary for synthesis of natural detoxi� cation molecules. Vegetables are also a source of � bre, which can help to bind toxins as they are mobilized and remove them from the body. Differ-ent programs may detail speci� c diets, but in general, make sure to avoid alcohol and junk food, and ensure adequate nutrition.

Many herbal formulations are available and usual-ly consist of a laxative to clean the bowels, a diuretic to clean the kidneys and sometimes herbs to stimulate the liver’s normal detoxi� cation functions. Some kits also

contain � bre supplements and probiotics to help main-tain a healthy gut � ora. These kits are available in liq-uid form (e.g., Omega Alpha’s Detox Kit, Flora’s Flor.Essence or 7-Day Puri� cation Kit) or in pill form (e.g., Enzymatic Therapy’s Whole Body Cleanse Kit) or a combination of both (e.g., Wild Rose D-tox). Those with respiratory concerns or smokers may bene� t from Omega Alpha’s Detox Kit as it includes a “Lung Flush”. Regardless of which detoxi� cation program you choose, keep in mind that by � ushing out the toxins from their “hiding spots”, your body is being re-exposed to them and thus for the � rst few days, you may experience a

“healing crisis”, characterized by a feeling of malaise. Don’t be discouraged though as the bene� ts of detoxi-fying are felt soon after the “crisis” passes.

Heel’s Detox Kit consists of the homeopathic complexes Nux Vomica Complex, Lyphosot, and Ber-beris Complex. These remedies work by stimulating the body’s cleansing organs to work more ef� ciently. The greatest bene� t of homeopathic cleansing is there are virtually no interactions with any other herbs or med-ications. Also, other than the “healing crisis” (or “ho-meopathic aggravation”) mentioned above, there are no side effects. As well, homeopathic detox programs are the only ones that make the cell eliminate toxins at the intra-cellular level.

Detox programs can be done as a “spring clean-ing” for healthy individuals, prior to initiating treatment for those with speci� c diseases, and either bi-annually or annually for those with chronic illnesses. For those interested in more continual support of the organs of detoxi� cation, consider supplementing with reduced glutathione, SAM-E, or milk thistle. Thorne Research’s L-Trepein supports liver function by providing the body with the nutrients needed to synthesize detoxi� cation molecules cysteine and glutathione. This is also a lipo-tropic formula, meaning it supports healthy lipid me-tabolism, which can prevent the accumulation of fat.

In combination with appropriate exercise, adequate sleep, and conscientious diet choices, regular “spring cleaning” can help us to live long and healthy lives.

By Kristine SalzmannA Cloverdale author is

doing his part to help re-stock libraries destroyed by Hurricane Sandy.

Copies of My Tem-porary Life by Martin Crosbie have been sent to libraries in Connecti-cut, New Jersey and New York City, where facili-ties and collections were ravaged by the storm last October.

The donation is part of a larger movement called Indie (Indepen-dent) Authors for Hurri-cane Sandy, spearheaded by author K.S. Brooks, a native New Yorker who

now lives in Washington State.

Brooks contacted Crosbie, who writes a column for a web site she administrates called In-dies Unlimited.

He had obviously heard of the devasta-tion caused by Hurri-cane Sandy, but hadn’t thought of the impact on the area’s library systems.

“It’s just nice to be able to do something to help,” Crosbie said, adding he will follow up with cop-ies of his second novel in the series, My Name is Hardly.

Crosbie self-published

his first novel, the com-ing-of-age suspense/thriller My Temporary Life, on Amazon.com last year.

After taking advantage of a promotion in Febru-ary 2012 that featured his book for free for a limited time, the e-book took off and soon be-came a Top 10 Amazon bestseller.

To date, close to 30,000 e-books have been sold, and on Amazon.com it

averages 4.5 out of 5 stars from customer reviews.

My Name is Hardly was released on Ama-zon.com in December. He hopes to have the third book in the trilogy, A Different Kind of Girl, available this spring.

His self-publishing success has led to speak-ing opportunities such as the North Shore Writers Festival this April, where he will be on a panel.

Crosbie is one of more

than 70 independent au-thors from around the world who have donated their fiction, non-fiction and e-books to public libraries and schools in need through Indie Authors for Hurricane Sandy (books are vetted by the organization).

Thinking about buying your � rst home? Wish you had saved up a good down pay-

ment? Maybe you have, but didn’t know it. Designed to help � rst-time buyers get into home ownership, the federal Home Buyers’ Program lets you access tax-free monies for use towards the purchase or even construction of your � rst home.

Why tap into your RRSP? The most common reason is to boost the down payment on a home. The bigger your down payment, after all, the smaller your mortgage. And you may

qualify for better interest rates too; your healthy down pay-ment shows the lender that you are a low-risk candidate for a mortgage loan.

Here’s how it works. If you’ve been contributing to an RRSP, then you already know that the program is designed to set aside money for retirement, with the money going into the program tax-free (pay-ing taxes on the funds when they’re withdrawn later). But there are some valid reasons why you may want to access these funds earlier. A home purchase may be one of them. As a � rst-time homebuyer, you are allowed to withdraw money tax-free, provided you adhere to the repayment plan. (Just make sure, of course, that your RRSP is not a locked-in plan.) You can withdraw up to $25,000 from your plan. If your spouse quali� es as a

� rst-time homebuyer, then he or she will also be able to withdraw $25,000. Between the two of you, you could pos-sibly have a hefty down pay-ment sum of $50,000. That’s enough to make a substantial di� erence in the a� ordability of home ownership!

There are some conditions that you should know about. For example, you must enter into a written agree-ment to buy or build before you can withdraw money.

And you are expected to com-plete the home purchase no later than October 1 of the year following your withdraw-al. In addition, all HBP-eligible withdrawals must be made in the same calendar year, and you can’t have owned the home more than 30 days before the date of withdraw-al. Above all, you must meet certain repayment terms. Re-payment to your RSP begins the second year following the year of withdrawal. You have up to � fteen years to repay, and each annual repayment must be at least one-� fteenth of the total withdrawal, other-wise you have to include each repayment amount as income for that year.

A common question: so who exactly quali� es as a � rst-time homebuyer? What if one partner has owned a home before, for example?

Well, it often happens that only one partner quali� es as a � rst-time homebuyer, so only one RRSP can be tapped for funds. But if either of you has not owned a home for the past � ve years, then you meet the description of a � rst- time homebuyer!

Any kind of home quali� es for the program – detached, semi-detached, mobile, con-dominium, etc. – as long as it is located within Canada and will be your principal resi-

dence within one year. A de-tailed booklet is available on the Canada Revenue Agen-cy website. Look for T1036, which is the form required for requesting a withdrawal.

If you’re thinking of using your RRSP for your � rst home purchase, consider meshing your RRSP strategy with your down payment savings. Put-ting away funds in your RRSP not only saves you the current income tax, but any tax refund translates into more dollars towards your down payment. If you have RRSP contribution room, you can make your con-tribution now and then after 90 days you can redeem your RRSP under this plan, using your tax refund to bolster your down payment.

Let’s have a conversation about your future plans for home ownership. A good plan is always a great beginning!

CONTRIBUTED PHOTOLisa Marie Johnson with two of her three sons.

By Kristine SalzmannWhen Lisa Marie

Johnson went to work on Sunday, her business manager had a surprise for her.

It was a card. And in that card, words of en-couragement, support – and plane tickets.

See, Johnson is a pho-tographer. She runs, or rather is, Lisa Marie Photography in Clover-dale. Earlier this year, clients, friends and fam-ily members’ votes for her company launched it into the Top 10 for the Canada-wide Mompre-neur Award of Excel-lence, which recognizes and celebrates moms who own and operate their own businesses.

The winner is an-nounced this weekend (March 2) in Toronto and the plane tickets, bought with money raised through a raffle organized by friends, will enable Johnson to be on hand for the event.

During the course of running her pho-tography business, the mom of three has been amazed by the support from fellow mothers, families and clients in the community.

There was the time she was in a medically induced coma after con-tracting a rare type of pneumonia in Novem-ber 2011. Six days later, she woke to hundreds of messages of support, homemade meals for her family, and clients willing to postpone their shoots until she recovered.

There was the time, six months ago, when she and her husband were told their four-year-old son has autism. Johnson decided to blog about how lost she felt upon receiving the diagnosis – “and people just came from everywhere.”

“The network I have with the local moms built my son the most incredible therapy team,” she says.

And now, there’s the award nomination and the plane tickets.

“I’m extremely hum-bled by this, no matter what happens next week-end, in my heart I feel like I have already won the best prize ever,” John-son wrote in a blog post.

Yet, as in awe as she is of them, it is her family, friends and clients who are often amazed by her.

The mom of three made the career change from construction proj-ect manager to photog-

rapher after the birth of her second son four and a half years ago. She completed the digi-tal photography pro-gram at Surrey College and began Lisa Marie Photography almost two years ago, although through word of mouth and social media she was working nearly full time before she graduated.

As a lifestyle photog-rapher, she often sees clients multiple times over the course of ma-jor stages in their lives: engagements, weddings, pregnancies and other special occasions.

“I love it because I’m like a part of the family,” Johnson says.

And she takes docu-menting these occasions as a “massive responsi-bility.”

She recalled a boudoir shoot where she and a client were in tears upon viewing the resulting photos.

“It was so nice to show her what we see.”

“I take photography really personally,” she adds. “It’s a big respon-sibility. You can’t redo someone’s wedding. A newborn is only a new-born for 10 days and then they’ve changed.”

Johnson is also a vol-unteer photographer with The Tiny Light Foundation, a non-profit organization that offers professional pho-tography to families faced with life altering diagnoses such as a ter-minal illness.

Another passion of hers is the Tiny Bundles program at the Surrey Food Bank, which pro-vides pregnant women and families with babies the proper nutrition needed during pregnan-cy and nursing. Johnson donates profits from special family Christmas photo shoots and other fundraisers to the pro-gram.

Her business has now grown to include a part-time manager, associate shooter and her oldest son, who often works for her on weekends. Win-ning the business devel-opment prizes from The Mompreneur Award of Excellence would enable her to grow even more.

“It [photography] is ex-actly what I’m supposed to be doing,” she says. “I love every part of it.”

EVAN SEAL PHOTOBC Lions receiver Shawn Gore addresses students at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary Tuesday afternoon.

Lions talk to students about violence prevention

A pair of BC Lions visited students at Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary in Cloverdale this week to promote a message of healthy relationships and peaceful schools.

Wide receiver Shawn Gore and offensive line-man Dean Valli talked about the impact of violence against women and girls as part of the Lions’ Be

More than a Bystander program.Through the program, launched in 2011 by the

Lions and EVA (Ending Violence Association) BC, the players provide students with the tools and ideas to be more than a bystander, and teach them how to communicate that violence and abuse is not acceptable.

The Feb. 26 workshop at Lord Tweedsmuir was in the lead-up to Anti-Bullying Day on Feb. 27, held an-nually in Canada on the last Wednesday in February.

Zombie paintball looking for a homeBy Dan FergusonAfter a successful run

in South Surrey last year, the Lower Mainland’s first live-action zombie fight-ing game is looking for a new home in Langley.

“We sold out a week into the season,” said game creator Ron Mc-Call, a Langley resident with years of film and television experience that includes horror and action-adventure pro-ductions like Hellraiser: Hellseeker, Vampire, and Max Havoc: Ring of Fire.

The outdoor eve-ning adventure game launched Sept. 15 and ran until the end of No-vember, when the weath-er got too wet and cold to continue.

By then, there were 350 people on a waiting list to play.

“We’re looking to ex-pand,” said McCall, who

has been talking to the Township of Langley about finding a new site.

McCall said the Town-ship staffers he’s spoken to so far have told him there doesn’t seem to be anything in municipal regulations that covers a zombie apocalypse, even the pretend variety, but he’s hoping they’ll see the potential benefits.

“We could be bringing hundreds of thousands of dollars of tourism,” Mc-Call said.

McCall got the idea for a live-action zombie fighting game when he was playing paintball during a first-season wrap party for the True Justice television series he worked on.

McCall compares the “Zombie Combat Zone” he developed with busi-ness partner Jen Yarnell to “Tony n’ Tina’s Wed-

ding,” the often-staged improvisational live theatre production that has audience members become part of the show by pretending they are guests at a profoundly dysfunctional and funny wedding.

Only rather than con-fetti and cheap wine, McCall’s show involves weapons and the undead.

Groups of eight to 10 players go on an after-dark mission into a zombie-infested zone to locate and rescue a group of missing scientists, dis-cover the source of the plague that has caused the dead to rise, and, if possible, stop it.

Unlike ordinary paint-ball games, players only shoot at zombies, not other players.

Players use lower-pres-sure paintball guns, and no physical contact is

allowed between zombie performers and players.

McCall is already

thinking about a follow-up, non-zombie game.

One possibility is a

Predator-themed game, based on the dread-locked human-hunting

aliens first seem in the 1987 Arnold Schwar-zenegger film.

Food safety booklet available for pregnant women

Women in B.C. now have a one-stop resource for information on food safety during pregnancy.

The B.C. Centre for Disease Control and Fra-ser Health Authority have released an ‘Eat Safely, Eat Well’ booklet online to help pregnant women prevent illnesses such as Listeria, Salmonella, Campylobacter and E.coli through safe food handling and safe food choices.

“We know that Listeria and other bacteria can cause food borne illness and major complications for pregnant women and their babies,” Shendra Bris-don, environmental health officer with

Fraser Health, said in a media release. “This practical resource guide will

support them in making informed choices about what they eat and pro-vides recommendations on how to handle and prepare meals safely during their pregnancy.”

To develop the educational mate-rials, the BCCDC, Fraser Health, and University of B.C. researchers consulted with pregnant women and new mothers to assess their awareness and knowledge of food safety.

“This work highlighted that pregnant women want clear, accurate informa-tion about what foods to eat or avoid and safe food handling and prepara-tion,” the Provincial Health Services Authority said in the media release.

To download the booklet, visit www.bccdc.ca/foodsafetyinpregnancy.

“It was definitely more difficult than it

looked on TV,”

- Matthew Stowe, of Top Chef

Canada

Watch Stowe this springFrom page 1

“I was a student do-ing the work of two guys in a really high end restaurant with luxuri-ous products,” he says. “I figured most of my classmates would have this opportunity, but when I got back to the school I realized I had had a really great expe-rience.”

He was hired at Lu-tèce after graduation, eventually coming back to B.C. to work at So-nora Resort, a luxury wilderness resort only accessible by helicop-ter, sea plane, or by boat from Campbell River.

At only 22-years-old, Stowe was the executive chef at a resort then un-dergoing a massive ren-ovation and rebranding – he was even involved in designing the new kitchen.

“We did some re-ally, really great food up there and got in touch with a lot of local suppli-ers. Because my experi-ence was in New York, I wasn’t as educated as to what we were produc-ing in B.C. It was a great eye opener,” he says.

Stowe worked at So-nora from 2004 to 2010.

While there, he wrote a cookbook document-ing the dishes through the course of a season at the resort (The Tastes of Sonora Resort), and in 2009 Sonora was grant-ed a prestigious Relais & Chateaux designation.

The lure of settling down and starting a family led Stowe back

to Cloverdale perma-nently. Today, he works at Cactus Club Cafe de-veloping menu items for the Canadian restaurant chain with Executive Chef Rob Feenie.

Being in product de-velopment, he is also one of the few chefs who can enjoy regu-lar work hours, which allows him to spend more time with his wife and 19-month-old son Gavin.

Eventually he hopes to open his own restau-rant, perhaps south of the Fraser.

“I would like to do something in this area,” he says. “There’s a lot of people out here who appreciate good food. It’s nice for people to not have to drive to the city [Vancouver] to have the same dining experi-ence.”

Hometown viewers rooting for Stowe this spring can hope his varied experience with high end and casual dining will give him a leg up on the competi-tion.

While what Stowe can say about filming Top Chef Canada is limited, he valued the opportunity to meet a number of the people he has looked up to on television, such as judge Mark McEwan.

He also says the com-petition was intense.

“It was definitely more difficult than it looked on TV.”

Top Chef Canada premieres March 18, 10 p.m. PT on Food Net-work Canada. The win-ning chef takes home $100,000 and thousands of dollars in other prizes.

Gas credits no subsidy, premier saysBy Tom FletcherB.C.’s natural gas ex-

ploration royalty cred-it program is worth up to $120 million this year, but it’s not a subsidy to industry, Premier Christy Clark says.

Clark announced the total at an interna-tional conference on liquefied natural gas exports Monday (Feb. 25), boasting that costs are higher for other producers.

“Australia’s the main competition, and it looks like we’re leaving them in the dust more and more every day,” Clark told delegates

at the Vancouver con-vention centre.

B.C.’s royalty cred-it program is going into its 12th year. It provides breaks on natural gas royalty payments to compa-nies that commit to building new roads and pipelines for gas production in remote areas.

Clark said the pro-gram recovers its ini-tial cost at a rate of $2.50 for every dollar given out, because it stimulates gas produc-tion that otherwise wouldn’t take place. The program was cred-ited with luring drill-

ing rigs away from Al-berta to B.C.’s remote northeast shale gas deposits in previous years.

Clark also an-nounced a $32 million provincial loan to 15 aboriginal communi-ties on the route of a new natural gas pipe-line from northeast gas developments to to LNG export facilities on B.C.’s North Coast.

The Pacific Trails pipeline is to run 463 km from Summit Lake to Prince George to Kitimat. At the con-

ference, the province and Chevron Canada signed a benefit shar-ing agreement that they said will provide up to $200 million to ab-original groups on the route over the life of the project.

First Nations that signed the agreement are the Haisla, Kitselas, Lax Kw’alaams, Lheidli T’enneh, McLeod Lake, Metlakatla, Nadleh Whut’en, Nak’azdli, Nee Tahi Buhn, Saik’uz, Skin Tyee, Stellat’en, Ts’il Kaz Koh, West Moberly and Wet’suwet’en. TOM FLETCHER PHOTO

South Asian Health Institute launched by Fraser Health

Fraser Health has launched a South Asian Health Institute to better understand the health needs of the South Asian population.

South Asian people have a higher pro-pensity to develop chronic diseases, and are four times more likely to experience coro-nary disease and diabetes due to a combination of he-reditary and environmental factors, the Fraser Health Authority said in a press release on Feb. 15.

SAHI medical lead Dr. Arun Garg said the goal is

to shift the focus from fixing health complications to preventing them.

“The cost of late interventions related to chronic diseases is significant for individuals, families and the

province’s health care system,” Garg said.More than 182,000 South Asian people

live in the areas served by Fraser Health, the third largest South Asian population in Canada.

Fraser Health said the institute will build on current programs, services and partnerships aimed at improving the health and wellness of the South Asian community.

By Kristine SalzmannSurrey’s secondary schools and

the district education centre are vying for bragging rights, but not for who is the brightest.

In fact, some schools may get a bit dimmer. From Feb. 18 to March 1, the 19 high schools and DEC will see who can save the most en-ergy in the district’s second annual Energy Conservation Cup.

Each school has committed to reducing their use of electric-ity and natural gas by a certain percentage over two weeks, to be calculated by energy intelligence provider Pulse Energy, district communications specialist Corry Anderson-Fennell said in a media release. The top two winners will move on to the energy competi-tion finals April 15 to 19.

At Lord Tweedsmuir Secondary in Cloverdale, Physics teacher Su-san Hunter-Jivung said students are creating Twitter accounts, Facebook pages and educational videos to spread awareness to their peers on how to conserve energy.

And while the competitive as-pect can be fun, Hunter-Jivung said the real success comes from empowering the students.

Yes, they turn off some lights, unplug a few things and close some windows – but some stu-dents are also researching long-term solutions, such as how to ef-ficiently light a room.

“It’s opening them up to the idea that kids can come up with a solu-

tion,” she said, adding she would like to see initiatives like this hap-pen more than once a year.

Hunter-Jivung said the compe-tition also helps make Physics real for her students. They can look at why one light bulb is more ef-ficient than another, and become familiar with the measurement of energy consumption in kilowatt hours.

During last year’s Cup, Surrey schools had their cafeterias serve cold lunches, held “Ugly Sweater Days” while turning down ther-

mostats, put on acoustic concerts, and turned off as many lights as possible (without jeopardizing student safety, Anderson-Fennell assured).

  “The idea is to be creative,” Alasdair MacKinnon, the dis-trict’s director of energy manage-ment and sustainability, said in the media release. “It’s one thing to change hardware and upgrade to energy efficient systems, but changing human behaviour is the greater challenge and it’s activities like these that will do it.”

Good things come in small packages

My o� ce roommate has her quirks – she spends most of the day snoozing, is obsessive about exercise and can be a bit self-righteous about her healthy vegetable-and-seed diet. But I guess she can be forgiven her eccentricities given that my o� cemate is actually a dwarf hamster named Holly, whose spacious habitat overlooks my desk at the head o� ce of the BC SPCA.

Like Holly, hundreds of hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits and other small animals are surrendered to the SPCA and are in need of loving homes. Each year the BC SPCA designates March as Small Animal Month to draw attention to these wonderful pint-sized pets available for adoption at shelters across the province.

Small animals are often overlooked, perhaps because people don’t see them as “real” pets. But rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, rats and hamsters come with delightful and inquisitive personalities, fascinating behaviours and the ability to enrich our lives.

While Homer’s nocturnal habits make him a quiet and unassuming o� cemate, he regularly rouses himself from sleep to greet colleagues or visitors who pop by – in the hopes they may have brought along a hamster treat or two. He also has very particular home design ideas and spends hours rearranging the tubes, toys and treats I put into his habitat to get the look “just right.”

Small animals are great for people

who have pet restrictions where they live. They don’t take up a lot of space or make much noise. But small animals do have unique care needs and, as with cats and dogs, people should familiarize themselves with the animal’s characteristics to ensure a suitable match.

So, before you head out to a BC SPCA shelter to adopt, check out our pet care pages � rst to learn what you need to do to keep your potential pet happy and healthy (at spca.bc.ca/pet-care/adoption/5-steps-to-adoption).

Then, should you feel ready to bring a small animal (or two!) into your life, check our adoption listings (spca.bc.ca) or stop by a shelter to � nd one just right for you.
