HandyDart changes spark frustration Mario Bartel

Jo-Ann Lingley’s many medical problems make it difficult for her to get around. And recent changes to TransLink’s HandyDart service have made it even more frustrating. Lingley’s knees are shot and she suffers from pulmonary heart failure and diabetes. She relies on the HandyDart buses to transport her from her Burnaby home to doctor’s appointments in Vancouver or at Burnaby Hospital.

But since TransLink cut 10,000 efficient, as recommended by a service hours in favour of subsidized provincial audit of TransLink, said taxis as of April, Lingley said even spokesperson Jiana Ling. calling a week ahead is no guarantee “This practice is used by most she’ll be able to other specialized book a ride. transit agencies “There’s a lot of across Canada,” Jo-Ann Lingley frustration,” said said Ling. there’s a lot of frustration.

A man was arrested by Burnaby RCMP early last Friday after a van belonging to a Metro newspaper delivery person was car-jacked. About 1 a.m., the driver had pulled into a Mac’s convenience store at Lougheed Highway and Production Way. While his assistant was in the store, the suspect entered the van and started punching him, insisting he start driving. The driver escaped the van, but left his cellphone inside before calling the police from the store, said RCMP spokesman Cpl. David Reid. Upon arrival, police pinged the cellphone, which allowed them to determine its location through GPS. They soon found the van abandoned in a ditch on Highway 1 near the Sprott Street turnoff. A police dog soon found the man, who attempted to choke the dog, Reid said. The Metro delivery driver only received minor injuries, Reid said, as was the case with the suspect. Burnaby RCMP has had dealings with the suspect in the past, Reid said, adding the man was intoxicated and faces charges of robbery and assault of a police officer.

She said a trip to Vancouver General Hospital, using a combination of taxis and SkyTrain, can become an all-day odyssey that leaves her exhausted. “Most of the HandyDart clientele don’t like taxis,” said Chitrenky. “The drivers aren’t trained to deal with handicapped people. Our buses are larger, it’s easier to fit people with wheelchairs.” Ling said taxis are only sent to

customers who can use them. “Customers that use large wheelchairs that do not fit into a wheelchair accessible taxi are still transported on HandyDart vehicles,” said Ling. The cost of the taxi service is the same as a HandyDart fare, she added. Chitrenky said his union hasn’t been given a timetable for the pilot project by TransLink. “We’re not sure where it’s going,” he said.

Ling said the project is supposed to run to the end of the year, at which time an assessment will be made to determine if the taxis are more efficient.

Makaella came home one day talking about how she’d done pushups in daycare. “Mommy, I showed everyone how to work out,” Makaella told her mother. “She’s a little athlete,” says Ashlie proudly. Mommy, however, doesn’t want to see her daughter become obsessed with her looks. Ashlie goes out of her way to praise Makaella for her intelligence instead of the traditional greeting for girls of “you’re so pretty.” Although Makaella tells her mother she wants to get a “sparkling wakini,” as the little girl calls it, Ashlie tells her, “Go to university and then I’ll buy you a sparking wakini.” • Pre-judging begins Saturday at 9 a.m. with the finals starting at 6 p.m. Tickets are available at www. masseytheatre.com, 604-521-5050 or ticketing@masseytheatre.com.

That’s because the festival was competing against a host of other big events around Metro Vancouver, including the Squamish Music Festival, a marathon in downtown Vancouver, a food truck fair in New Westminster and the Abbotsford Airshow. “We can only get what is available,” said Parent. The tents are barely folded away and the recycling bins emptied of their contents when work begins on next year’s festival, said Parent.

publISheD & prInteD by blaCk preSS ltD. at 7438 Fraser Park Drive, Burnaby, B.C. V5J 5B9

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

10 years too long

LAST WEEK:

When the Liberal government and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation signed a short collective agreement in the summer of 2012, nobody anticipated the same players would be back at the bargaining table 12 months later. But here we are in 2013 with the re-elected B.C. Liberal government making drastic changes to how the bargaining process will go this time around. The recent announcement by education minister Peter Fassbender to remove school trustees from the board of the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association could be a step in the right direction for both sides. The minister’s claim that this will allow the union to negotiate directly with the government, as opposed to an intermediary whose hands are essentially tied, should give the teachers more clout at the bargaining table. For whatever reason, whenever the BCTF goes through negotiations it’s a more tumultuous, public process than other unions in the province. Having to go through a middleman – the BCPSEA – wasn’t working to anyone’s benefit, especially given that the government, which has the power to legislate teachers back to work or tear contracts, was using BCPSEA as a wall between them and the teachers. This shift shows the province is taking a softer and more direct approach to bargaining with the teachers, and that’s good. But it’s likely motivated in some ways by their unprecedented move to seek a 10-year agreement with the teachers. As it stands, there’s nothing in it for the BCTF to agree to such a lengthy contract. Ten years is a long time to be locked into a contract, especially when one considers the ups and downs of the Canadian economy. A more open bargaining process between both sides is a step in the right direction, but 10 years is too long.

Another round of liquor reforms VICTORIA – The B.C. Liberal government is ordering up another round of liquor regulation changes, looking for ways to make life easier for businesses and customers without aggravating the health and social problems associated with alcohol. Discussions with B.C.’s 10,000 liquor licence holders have identified a few problems that should be fixed. Going into a consultation phase that runs to October, the government is looking for answers to a few obvious questions, such as why it takes a pub or bar up to a year to get a licence. Another question: why can a family with under-aged children go into a licensed restaurant for lunch, but can’t go to a pub and place the exact same food and drink order? This should be allowed, perhaps until the traditional 5 p.m. “happy hour” when the pub reverts to adultsonly. A couple of suggestions have come out of the healthy growth of B.C. wine, craft beer and distillery operations. Look for new licence opportunities for

farmers’ markets to sell local beverages along with the produce and preserves. Letters inviting suggestions from existing licence holders have gone out, and RichmondSteveston MLA John Yap will be meeting this fall with industry groups, local governments, police, health and social policy organizations and First Nations in the fall. A website will be put up in September so members of the public can have their say. Here’s my suggestion to start things off. Recent incidents involving so-called “party buses” shone a light on this growing industry, The sudden death of a 16-yearold on a party bus outing in Surrey in February turned out not to be alcohol-related, but to no one’s surprise, open liquor

was found aboard the bus. Open liquor isn’t allowed in any vehicle, but perhaps a new kind of special event licence could be created for party buses. They have been viewed mainly as part of the solution to impaired driving, and the situation isn’t much different from a supervised event on a boat. Here’s another suggestion. Gourmet cooking classes are becoming popular, with customers preparing and then enjoying their meals. Why not licence these establishments, at least so people can bring their own wine for dinner? Both the B.C. Liberals and NDP have advocated for easing the archaic rules on interprovincial trade in wine. B.C. lifted its restrictions on mailorder wine and has urged other provinces to follow suit. There are a couple of reasons why this Prohibition-era structure persists. Liquor sales are a cash cow for provincial governments, and every case of wine brought in from elsewhere is lost profit for the provincial wholesale monopoly. Then there is the local

industry lobby that would rather not add to its competition. Premier Christy Clark pressed this point at the recent premiers’ meeting in Ontario wine country, bringing in the maximum amount of B.C. wine allowed under Ontario rules and urging free trade in Canadian wine. The Toronto media drank it up, aghast that they were barred from ordering the latest Naramata Bench tipples directly. No movement so far from the Ontario government, in a province that has done well developing its own wine industry. The B.C. government will no doubt be lobbied again to allow beer and wine sales in grocery and convenience stores. Our politicians show little interest in that, which is understandable. The B.C. Liberals don’t want to upset the private liquor stores they have nurtured for a decade, and the NDP would never risk annoying the government liquor store union. There are more creative ways to liberalize alcohol sales. tfletcher@blackpress.ca</I>

Lee Safranek doesn’t just climb stairs, he charges to the top. He doesn’t step around the handrail or a nearby concrete planter, he leaps over them. Safranek, 23, is getting ready for the first Concrete Hero obstacle course race to raise money for the BC Cancer Foundation. Competitors will be timed as they race

Lagoon, and clamber up a two-storey wall standing in as “The Chief.” It’s part running, part parkour, part strength and endurance. It’s unlike anything Safranek’s ever done before. As a result, he admits, he’s not quite sure how to train. “I don’t really know how to prepare for climbing over cars and

buses,” says Safranek, who’s studying for his Masters in applied mathematics at Simon Fraser University. He’s been running, and hitting the gym two or three times a week to work on his upper body strength. “You just work out and hope for the best,” says Safranek. He’s driven by his own close encounters with cancer. Safranek has lost relatives to the disease, but when the father of his best friend and roommate was diagnosed he was devastated.

Kids, family festival at the Nikkei Centre Kids getting ready to go back to school will have one last chance to blow off summer steam—Japanese style. The Nikkei Centre is hosting its first Nikkei Matsuri, an indoor kids and family festival, on Aug. 31 and Sept. 1. The festival will feature a kids zone with Japanese cultural games and activities, and a performance hall with Japanese food, vendors and performances. Some of the kids games include Wanage, Senbon Hiki

and Superball Scooping. Players will be able to win tokens which they can then cash in for prizes at the toy shop. There will also be a children’s mikoshi parade, where groups of six to 15 kids will carry box shrines they’ve elaborately decorated on their shoulders through the Nikkei Centre. A display of Japanese structures built of LEGO, including the famous Skytree Tower, a pagoda and maybe even Godzilla, will be featured

The event will also have a talent show for amateur entertainers of all ages, a gateball tournament, and, in the evening, a performance of rakugo, or comic storytelling, by Japanese TV personality and ex-pat Canadian, Katsura Sunshine. For more information about Nikkei Matsuri, go to http:// festival.nikkeiplacefoundation. org/ Nikkei Centre is at 6688 Southoaks Cr. in Burnaby. newsroom@burnabynewsleader.com

Team called the Concrete Villains ⫸

continued from page a8

The Hosak family had taken Safranek in as one of their own when he came from Oregon to Burnaby to study at SFU. They included him in family gatherings, shared Canadian holidays with him. “They became my Canadian family,” says Safranek. He especially bonded with patriarch Bill over whiskey, math and teasing people.

When Bill took ill, Safranek says he felt “helpless. It’s really humbling.” Unable to do much more than offer support as his Canadian “dad” struggled through treatment, Safranek signed on for Concrete Hero as a way to give something back. “Jumping over a bus seems like a small price to pay” to be able to take a stand against cancer, says Safranek.

Each competitor must raise at least $400 to participate, a sum that Safranek says intimidated him at first. He achieved it in a week and he’s now got his sights set on reaching his goal of $600. His team, the Concrete Villians, is aiming to raise $6,000. As for his goals for the race, Safranek remains guarded. “I want to keep running the whole time,” he says. “I don’t want to walk.”

“It’s hard because I can’t work while going to school - my body just won’t do it anymore. Getting these bursaries is a huge blessing and a weight off my shoulders.” CHELSEA STAMP-VINCENT Theatre grad; Bachelor of Applied Psychology student. Bouncing back from a serious car accident.

A day with the horses

An annual tradition for the Burnaby Horsemenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association (BHA) was to bring their mascot, a pony named Muffin to visit Finnish Manor in Burnaby. It was a highlight for many residents. Sadly, Muffin recently passed away and the annual event could not continue, says Ulli Dargel of the BHA. So his group decided to bring the residents to their facility. They just concluded a visit to their facility. The recreational department of Finnish Manor brought donuts, coffee and juice for everyone to enjoy. And the BHA provided visitors a chance to meet Teepee the pony, somewhat larger than Muffin, and a barn tour where they had the opportunity to give treats to several horses.

Arrest warrant for outlaw dentist

COOKING CONTEST

Mario Bartel

A warrant has been issued by B.C. Supreme Court for the arrest of a man accused of operating as an unlicensed dentist out of his Burnaby home. Tung Sheng Wu, who also went by the name of David Wu, failed to appear in court on Monday following an investigation by the College of Dental Surgeons of B.C. (CDSBC). That investigation was promoted by a complaint from one of his patients. When surveillance by a private investigator hired by

the CDSBC revealed evidence that Wu was conducting illegal dental work, the governing body for dentistry obtained a warrant to enter the Southwood Street premises. There it found a “significant amount” of dental equipment that may not have been cleaned or sterilized properly, nor met Health Canada standards, as well as files for nearly 1,500 clients, most of them from within the Chinese-Canadian community. Some of those files date as far back as the 1990s. Wu’s patients have been advised by the Fraser Health Authority to get tested for Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and

HIV because of their risk of exposure to blood borne infection from poorly cleaned equipment. Prior to setting up his outlaw practice in Burnaby, Wu operated a similar clinic in Port Moody. He closed that clinic voluntarily after it also caught the attention of authorities. Wu’s patients are urged to call 1-855-895-7425 toll free for a nurse to arrange blood testing. “It’s a precaution,” said Dr. Michelle Murti, Fraser’s medical health officer. “It’s so people know their own status.” —With files from the Tri-City News.

Getting ready to care for the Baby Boomers

s Canada continues to age, caring for elderly parents becomes a challenging issue that requires mindful thinking and advance planning.

With approximately 13 per cent of the New Westminster population and 14 per cent of the Burnaby population at 65 years or older, according to the 2011 Census data, aging family members are becoming a greater concern and leading to a number of challenges for families. A growing problem employers are facing today is the rising number of employees calling in sick in order to care for their aging parents. Almost 25 per cent of Canadian households are now involved in caring for an elderly family member—and this number is rising. Nearly 65 per cent of these caregivers are also employed outside the home. With the average caregiver spending 20 hours per week looking after a senior, many are forced to take time away from their paid jobs. According to the National Alliance for Caregiving in the U.S., approximately 15 million days of work per year are lost due to these circumstances. What’s more is that these numbers will continue to rise with our aging population. The two most significant results for families having to

Wendy Scott care for elderly parents are a reduction in income due to missed shifts and an increase in stress. Many families face these problems with surprise and shock but it is becoming increasingly important to recognize these issues in advance and plan for them. People spend more time planning for their vacations and major purchases than they do planning for events that will happen as we age. Being prepared avoids the burden of crisis management that could lead to costly decisions and loss of dignity and independence. When faced with aging parents, it is always best to have a future plan before it becomes a critical issue. Here a few suggestions for families to consider: TALK TO YOUR PARENTS OR FAMILY MEMBERS BEFORE A CRISIS SITUATION.

With this conversation you will better understand the true wishes of your aging family members. Discuss Medicare, health insurance, long-term

LOCATE ANY COMMUNITY RESOURCES THAT MAY BE AVAILABLE TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. In Greater Vancouver there are numerous services available for the elderly including senior support services, Meals on Wheels, and adult day care facilities. You can access many of these services via the local hospital or skilled nursing facility discharge planners, or seniors citizen centres. ASK YOUR EMPLOYER IF THEY CAN HELP.

Many employers are willing to help employee caregivers in order to retain valuable workers. Find out if your employer offers paid leave benefits or flex hours. Some employers are even beginning to include long-term care insurance or caregiver respite programs in their benefit package. ASK FRIENDS AND FAMILY FOR HELP.

Ask them what experiences they have had with some of the community services. Many of these people may have already gone through this and can be of assistance.

Caring for our aging parents is one of the more challenging roles we undertake in our adult lives.

: If I remember correctly the marriage vow says “in sickness and in health.” What would happen if the tables were reversed and it was your mom that was not well? What would her expectations be of her husband? I have huge respect for those spouses who have become the prime caregiver. It is a very taxing role to watch the personality you used to know disappear. There are only a few things I can suggest. Find out what support is available in her community such as respite relief, local outreach support, day programs for dementia patients and she should also join a support group. It may be the time to reach out and encourage his immediate family to get actively involved. Be sure she gets a case manager from the provincial health authority because ultimately they have the final say on longterm placement. Think about the best location for his placement when the time comes. Good luck.

Dry summer hasn’t drained Metro water reservoirs Levels normal, officials credit tougher lawn sprinkling rules Jeff Nagel Black Press

Despite a sunny and rain-free July, Metro Vancouverites kept tap water usage under control. And regional district officials are crediting tightened lawn sprinkling regulations for the water conservation success during the record dry spell. Metro Vancouver dispensed an average of 1.45 billion litres a day last month, with a peak of 1.6 billion litres on July 24. The region consistently stayed well below its one-day record high for water consumption of more than two million litres set four years ago. “It appears that mornings-only lawn sprinkling regulations

Water conservation has helped keep reservoirs at decent levels despite such a dry July.

across the region have helped to reduce the demand for our highquality drinking water in summer, when the demand for water soars during hot and sunny days,” said North Vancouver City Mayor Darrell Mussatto, who chairs Metro’s utilities committee. Metro decided to ban evening lawn sprinkling to ease demand at peak hours when many households are running dishwashers, clothes washers and baths. Metro reservoirs are

currently about 78 per cent full – somewhat lower levels than the previous two summers when more rain fell, but still well within what’s considered the normal range. Metro has plenty of water most of the year but its North Shore reservoirs can run low in the peak-use summer months if homes and businesses consume too much. Mussatto said collective diligence in conserving water helps postpone the need for costly new projects

to build higher dams and bigger mains and pumping stations. Lawn sprinkling is only allowed before 9 a.m. in the morning, three days a week, between June 1 and Sept. 30. Watering of shrubs, trees, flowers and vegetables are exempt from the lawn restrictions.

Shamrocks shell Lakers to sweep WLA semifinal The Burnaby Lakers playoff ride was short and not very sweet as the Victoria Shamrocks swept the bestof-seven Western Lacrosse Association semifinal series. The Shamrocks defeated the Lakers 10-7 at Bill Copeland Arena to advance to the WLA final against the Langley Thunder, who swept the Coquitlam Adanacs in four games. Despite winning two of the three regular season matchups with the ’Rocks, the Lakers weren’t able to come up with a victory. On Sunday, Victoria dominated the first two periods outscoring Burnaby 4-1 in each frame.

The Shamrocks also outshot the Lakers 57-36 overall, and even 18-12 in the third period when the Lakers got a couple of late goals to make the score respectable. Colton Clark, Dane Stevens and Decker Jackson all scored twice for Burnaby with Scott Jones collecting a goal and four assists. The score wasn’t respectable Friday in Victoria when the Shamrocks rolled to a 17-3 victory. The Lakers could only muster a goal by Stevens in the first period and markers by Jackson and Shaun Dhaliwal in the second period. sports@burnabynewsleader.com

Minto Cup set to start The last time the New Westminster Salmonbellies won the Minto Cup was 1994, the same year Josh Byrne was born. This Saturday, the homegrown rookie scoring star—56 goals and 56 points in 20 games—will lead the Salmonbellies’ quest for another junior lacrosse championship when the 2013 Minto Cup tournament begins play at Queen’s Park Arena.

“It’s unexplainable. It’s one thing to play in a Minto Cup my first year and then in my own barn it’s great, something not everyone gets to do. There’s no better situation you could ask for,” says the 19-year-old Byrne. “This is the holy grail of junior lacrosse.” The Coquitlam Adanacs and Bellies will be joined by Ontario champion Whitby Warriors and the Okotoks Raiders

from Alberta in a round robin Saturday, Sunday and Monday. A semifinal will be played between the second and thirdplace teams in the tournament on Tuesday with the winner advancing to a best-of-final against the first-place team starting next Thursday. They will play every night until a champion is determined with a Game 5, if necessary, Monday, Aug. 26.

Sandhu to hit the ice again at B.C. Summer Skate at 8-Rinks A record 609 entries, including Emanuel Sandhu coming out of retirement, will participate in the Pond to Podium Super Series B.C. Summer Skate this Thursday through Sunday at Burnaby Eight Rinks. “This will be quite a competition,” said B.C.Yukon Section Competitions chair Bev Viger, “we have more than 100 entries over last year.” And they come from many places—B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, USA, Japan, Korea and Poland. One of the highlight events will be the senior men, featuring the country’s number two skater Ken Reynolds of Vancouver skating club, former national team member Jeremy Ten of Burnaby Centre of Excellence and Sandhu, former national senior men’s champion making a comeback after retiring for several years. Sandhu formerly trained at the centre of excellence. The senior men’s short program goes at 1:30 p.m. on Thursday with the free skate scheduled for 2 p.m. on Friday. Also taking part are national junior ladies’ champion Larkyn Austman of Connaught Club and fellow clubmate and former national junior champion Mitchell Gordon.

Starting times: Thursday 9 a.m., Friday 8:45 p.m., Saturday 9 a.m. and Sunday 7:45 a.m. Summer Skate is B.C.’s largest figure skating competition and officially kicks off the BC-Yukon Section season.

Burnaby players play big role at Canada Summer Games Two Burnaby boys helped British Columbia win the gold medal at the Canada Summer Games in Sherbrooke, Que. B.C. downed Ontario 5-0 in the final with the help of shortstop Anthony Cusati of Burnaby, who plays for the North Shore Twins, and Burnaby catcher Nicolas Favaro, who plays for the Vancouver Cannons. British Columbia’s women’s soccer squad also took the gold medal thanks in large part to Burnaby South student Seina Kashima who led B.C. in scoring with five goals in give games. Earlier this year, Kashima helped the Vancouver Whitecaps women’s prospects team win the Vancouver Women’s Metro League title, the Pacific Coast title and the Gothia Cup, the largest youth soccer tournament in the world, in Sweden.
