BCAA launches home
protection program

THE B.C. Automobile Associa-
tion has launched a program that
will pay a reward to anyone who
furnishes information leading to
the arrest and conviction of a per-
son who burglarizes a home in-
sured by the Association.

Called Home Protection Plus,
the project will give a sticker to
every BCAA member who renews
or buys home, apartment or con-
dominium insurance after Feb. 1,
1991.

The sticker is to be affixed to a
glass door or window in the
member’s home, and will state
that a maximum $1,000 reward
will be paid to the person who
provides information leading to
the conviction of a burglar of that

home.

“We see this offer as another
way in which BCAA provides se-
curity and peace of mind to our
members,"’ says Susan Bigelow,
BCAA’s director of insurance
agencies and club services. ‘‘Our
Emergency Road Service gives
members on-the-road peace of
mind, and this program will help
give that same sense of security to
our members at home.”*

The stickers, or decals, will be
provided to each member when
they buy or renew their home in-
surance. Members who currently
have BCAA home insurance, but
who would rather not wait for
their renewal date to receive their
sticker, can request one at their
nearest Service Centre.

The plot thickens
in the garden of hope

JOANNA TUDAN-SAINBERG is
always nourishing dreams with
hope. Founder of a lunch pro-
gram for children in Vancouver,
this energetic North Vancouver
woman is still making efforts to
nourish children, only in this case
it’s spiritual nourishment.

By Barbara Black
News Reporter

In front of the Vancouver Art
Gallery is one of her projects —
but you can't see it just yet. It's,
well, underground — 2,100 tulip
bulbs planted in a garden of hope.
In the spring it will be a splash of
brilliant heart-red in the metropol-
itan environment. And, says
Tudan-Sainberg, it wili represent
hope for the youth of the pro-
vince.

It all sprouted as a result of the
lunch program. In 1988, corporate
sponsors showed their support for
nourishing children by donating
time and materials to plant the
garden outside the Art Gallery
and to fund the lunch program.
Two years fater, the garden still
grows.

“f've used the tulip bulb since
1964 for positive thinking. The
bulb survives with food from its
growing season.’’ By drawing an
anology with the bulb, she teaches
children that the tools necessary to
go on in life are inside themselves,

that they come from their experi-
ence of life. A cancer patient
herself, she has also used tiie bulb
to boost morale among cancer pa-
tients.

With the present crisis in the
Gulf, Tudan-Sainberg believes
there is a real need to show
children that there is hope for the
future. And, she. points out,
children who have no hope for the
future have no interest in preserv-
ing the environment because they
do not believe the world will be
around for much longer.

“What the idea of the garden
is, is if a child feels nobody cares,
he has no hope. (But) if a child
feels the whole community is
behind him then he can do any-
thing.”’

The garden will be in full bloom
come Mother’s Day, representing,
says Tudan-Sainberg, ‘‘the heart
of the community and its care for
the future of its youth.”’
