Sean Kumagai, general manager of Metrotown Mazda, has seen countless close calls from his office at the corner of Kingsway and Imperial Street, the scene of a serious crash last week that sent a woman to hospital. The complex intersection is slated for improvements in 2014.

From his second-floor office, Metrotown Mazda general manager Sean Kumagai probably has the best view of the nightmare that is the intersection of Kingsway and Imperial Street. “From jaywalking to cars making improper turns, sometimes when I’m watching you just sort of cringe at what you see,” Kumagai said.

For safety reasons, there are no left turns allowed at all there but that hasn’t stopped some from doing so. Kumagai has even seen people turn left from Imperial onto Kingsway, essentially at a 45-degree angle. And for drivers turning right from the southeast corner with Imperial onto Kingsway, they often start the turn only to slam on their brakes about 30 feet away to avoid hitting a pedestrian because that’s where the crosswalk is located, he added.

The family of a 71-year-old Burnaby man who went missing while picking mushrooms east of Vernon last month has received the worst news possible. Nakusp Search and Rescue, with the help of a police service dog, found a body in the bush about 40 metres from a spur road that connected to the road where Kyung Chun abandoned his van after it got stuck in the mud. He was originally reported missing Sept. 19. RCMP said there was no obvious signs of trauma to the body, and foul play isn’t suspected. Chun, according to his daughter Sandra, has been a hobby mushroom picker for 15 years. Though he normally goes picking with his wife, Seol, on this particular trip he was helping a friend collect pine mushrooms. The area is popular with mushroom pickers, who sell their finds from nearby campsites. “He doesn’t even go into the woods,” said Sandra. “He’s a driver. He always said if he goes into the woods he’d die.” Chun had some health issues. Please see CHUN’S, A3

Man questions cost of refusing smart meter BC Hydro to charge $35 a month to keep old meter
But Khakh isn’t really interested. He’s received three visits and two phone calls from BC Hydro and each time he’s turned them down. Then two weeks ago he received a notice setting out his options: keep his old electrical meter and pay $35 a month; receive a smart meter but with the radiotransmitter function turned off and pay $100 for set up and then $20 a month; or agree to have a smart meter installed at no cost. It was not only more costly than Khakh expected, but he questioned why the fees are monthly when he only gets his meter read every two months? And citing media reports that more than 2,600 BC Hydro employees earned more than $100,000 last year, he added, “If they’re increasing charges to the public, why they don’t tighten their own belt?” He said he hasn’t yet decided but the fees are so high he may end up accepting a new smart meter. “I feel bad but I have no

For the past year-and-a-half, a Burnaby man has managed to decline to have a BC Hydro smart meter installed at his house. But that may soon change now that he’s received a notice of how much it will cost to keep the status quo. Balbir Khakh, 71, is a lung cancer patient and has been turning down requests to have the new meter installed out of safety concerns, although he said he has not discussed the issue with his doctor. Smart meters are capable of relaying information on power consumption to the electrical utility several times a day through the use of radio transmitters. Customers can access the information online to better control their electricity use, and the utility is notified automatically of power outages.

Balbir Khakh was shocked at the fees of up to $35 per month BC Hydro says he will have to pay if he continues to refuse installation of a smart meter at his East Burnaby home.
option.” Burnaby-Lougheed New Democrat MLA Jane Shin said Khakh is not alone. “It’s not an uncommon concern.” Shin said she has also spoken to local businesses and residents who saw their bills double and triple after getting a smart meter, raising concerns about the accuracy of the new meters.
How the program has been rolled out “is a cause for bigger concern than the actual smart meter program itself,” she said. “It’s a significant burden for any person who chooses to opt out of the system for whatever reason, personal or otherwise.” There is a misperception that the proposed fees are simply for meter-reading, said Greg Alexis,
spokesperson for BC Hydro’s smart metering program. It’s actually also the cost of building and operating a separate system to accommodate those who want to stay off the main smart-metering system that serves the other 96 per cent. The fees for people wanting to opt out are nothing new, Alexis added. In Portland, Ore., they’re charging $51 a month plus an initial setup charge of $254, and Hydro Quebec is charging $17 a month plus an initial $98 fee. “The decision to charge costrecovery fees ensures that the rest of Hydro’s customers, the ones that have accepted smart meters, aren’t subsidizing the personal choices of a very small number of people.” In Burnaby, 91,100 smart meters have been installed and 800 customers, or one per cent, have asked BC Hydro to hold off, he said. That compares with 1.83 million installed and 60,000 declined provincewide. twitter.com/WandaChow

He received a kidney transplant, had a pacemaker, and had two strokes in the past, Sandra said, causing him to walk with a limp. But his mental state was sharp. On Saturday, Sept. 14 around 6 p.m., Chun realized he’d misplaced some of his medication and told his picking partner he was returning to Burnaby to get a refill and would be back on Sunday night. On Monday, a group of campers saw his van stuck on the road as they were heading into the woods. When they returned from the bush on Thursday, Sept.
19 and saw the van still there “red flags and alarm bells went off,” Sandra said, and Nakusp RCMP were notified. “My mom got a call that afternoon saying do you know where your husband is, and she said no.” Meantime, Chun’s picking partner didn’t feel anything was amiss when Sunday came and went with no sign of Chun, and eventually hitched a ride back to Revelstoke and caught a Greyhound to the Lower Mainland a few days later. “It didn’t set off any alarm bells for him,” Sandra said. “That’s why

family members arrived to assist search-and-rescue volunteers Sept. 21, she was surprised because the area didn’t appear desolate at all; there were several wellused roads and in many cases the surroundings were opened by clearcuts. It didn’t seem an area where one could easily get lost, she said, and she wonders if the stress of the situation contributed to his disappearance. “Maybe he was disoriented. There’s obviously something that happened when he left the van, to make the choices he did. It’s horrific. It’s a nightmare.”

He was only about seven kilometres from the main track, Sandra said, and the area is frequented by pickers. “When you’re picking you’ll go anywhere and everywhere,” she said. Sandra said it appears he had attempted to free his wheels from the muddy track on the evening of Sept. 14, without success, then opted to spend the night in the van. There was

Malaysian Cuisine of the Kingsway-Imperial Diane Gillis, president
Neighbourhood Association (KINA), said her group has coined a new term, “jayrunning,” to refer to people who cross Kingsway from the southwest corner where there is no crosswalk at all. It’s understandable, she said, since people getting off at the bus stop there would otherwise have to traverse three major crosswalks, plus a smaller fourth one, to get to the northwest corner. “They’re running across six lanes of Kingsway … I saw an 85-year-old neighbour pulling her cart across Kingsway, it really concerned me.” Gillis said KINA has been working with Burnaby city hall for years trying to get improvements to the intersection, and recognizes the

challenge they and police face. “How do you make design changes to stop people from taking these chances when it’s very clearly signed?” Burnaby’s city engineering department believes it has figured out solutions, and plans to make the improvements in 2014, said Doug Louie, the assistant director of engineering in charge of traffic and parking management. To start, it plans to build two left-turn bays on Kingsway to allow the turns onto Imperial from both directions, necessary since the turns wouldn’t be as safe without the bays. “It’s something from a transportation planning perspective is a desire that’s easy to see,” Louie said. “It just wasn’t implemented because there wasn’t the room to do so.” To make it happen, the sidewalks and road lanes will be narrowed to their minimum
standard, creating room for the bays. Lengthy turning arrows, giving enough time to make the elongated turn, will be added to the traffic signals. A new north-south crosswalk will be added on the west side of Imperial to make it much more convenient for people crossing Kingsway, Louie said. As for the issue of motorists not noticing pedestrians when they’re trying to turn right onto Kingsway from Imperial, he said there are plans to improve pedestrian visibility by moving lampposts and improving signage. The project is within the engineering department’s capital budget for next year, pending final approval from Burnaby council. If all goes as planned, construction could take place in the spring or summer, he said. twitter.com/WandaChow

Homelessness now on the radar in Burnaby While homelessness is increasing in Burnaby, one thing that is changing for the better is people’s attitudes, says Wanda Mulholland, community development coordinator for the Burnaby Task Force On Homelessness. The task force is marking Homelessness Action Week Oct. 13 to 19 with a series of events, from a donation drive and outreach events to a film presentation and a fundraiser. “Nine years ago [when the task force started] people weren’t talking about homelessness as a Burnaby issue at all,” Mulholland said. A large part of the task force’s work has been to raise awareness that “Burnaby is not exempt from homelessness and extreme poverty.” A survey conducted last year in the Lower Mainland found that 23 per cent of respondents knew someone who was homeless or had been in the past five years, she said. “There’s a lot of

understanding now that these are real people affected and often people they know and care about. That makes it very different.” The task force is comprised of representatives from government agencies, Fraser Health Authority, community organizations, businesses, faith communities and concerned citizens. Since 2005, it has helped people access services and housing, providing support to one homeless person at a time, she said. “Having said that, we meet new people all the time that are in need of those services that didn’t necessarily need them a year ago … The need is increasing, absolutely.” • A clothing drive will kick off Homelessness Action Week, on Saturday, Oct. 12, 12 to 2:30

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Question of breed
LAST WEEK:
Burnaby has chosen to keep pit bulls muzzled. And that’s a good thing. After a vigorous debate at City Hall, where council heard from many speakers who didn’t want the pit bull-type breeds singled out, council chose to keep the 11-year-old rule to keep pits muzzled in public, and also raised the fees and fines for pit bulls and other “vicious dogs.” Critics said educating dog owners is the better route. As with the gun control debate, they argued, it’s not the dog but how effectively it’s been reared by its owner. Some questioned the dog-bite statistics, saying it was unfair to compare individual breeds to pit bulls, which is in fact a broad term that applies to several breeds such as Staffordshire terrier, American Pit Bull terrier and the American bulldog. Most pit bulls in this city are well-raised, friendly, playful and gentle. But the heart of the matter is the size and strength of the pit bull jaw. All dogs have the potential to bite, and something as simple as accidentally stepping on the paw of an older dog could prompt a vicious reaction. We think little of the small, high-strung dog who makes a run at our heels as we walk down a path at the park, only to be pulled back on its leash before it takes a nip. If that dog were 40 pounds with a mouth like a vise that opens up almost to its ears, we would think differently. City council rightly pointed out that, despite the large turnout of people opposed to the city singling out the pit bull, there is a silent majority among city residents who support the city’s approach. Today, however, it’s not unusual to visit a park and see a pit bull without its headgear. As with any bylaw, the question is whether it will be enforced.

B.C. pot referendum misguided VICTORIA – I won’t be signing the “Sensible B.C.” petition to demand a provincewide referendum on marijuana enforcement. You shouldn’t either, and here are a few reasons why. Let me start by saying I’ve been calling for legalization and regulation of pot for 20 years, to conserve police resources and reduce violent crime. Our war on drugs is a failure even for heroin and cocaine, and marijuana is obviously much easier to produce. But the current effort led by Dana Larsen, B.C.’s clown prince of pot, is not only misguided, it’s dangerous. The petition does not propose legalization. It seeks to impose a provincial law that would stop B.C. police from using any resources for simple possession charges. This would create a loophole in the federal drug law. So what would that do? It would protect otherwise innocent customers of the current illegal marijuana trade, while leaving the criminal distribution business in place.
Tom Fletcher tfletcher@blackpress.ca
For a closer look at that, I recommend reports from the Surrey Six murder trial now underway, or the upcoming case against three accused assassins of Red Scorpion gangster Jonathan Bacon in Kelowna. Larsen’s loony law would tie police hands when they are trying to hold someone on a lesser charge while they search for evidence of something nastier. This is a source of many simple possession charges today. Police chiefs have a different idea, asking for the option of treating simple possession as a ticket offence to keep the court time to a minimum. Both of these notions have the same obvious flaws. They don’t deal with sales to minors and they divert no revenue to government, leaving most of that in the hands of criminal dealers

who buy cocaine, guns and fancy cars. Colorado and Washington have gone the legalization route, so far without interference from their federal government. These states need money, and they don’t need more crime or ill-considered hippy gesture politics. Meanwhile in Ottawa, Health Canada is trying to convert a poorly regulated mess of smallscale medical marijuana licences to a free-market system of commercial producers. Local politicians tore a strip off Health Canada officials at their recent convention, after years of warnings that federal licences were scattered at unknown locations, often used as fronts for larger grow-ops. Mission Coun. Dave Hensman predicted that when a grower gets a letter cancelling his licence, he’s more likely to roll up a big joint with it than to shut down. Burnaby Coun. Nick Volkow suggested the response would echo an old Cheech and Chong routine: “Dave’s not here, man.” Here’s another reason not to support Larsen: the conduct of

his organizers. One fellow set up a petition table at, of all places, the Terry Fox Hometown Run in Port Coquitlam. After scrawling “pot cures cancer” on the table, he proceeded to interrupt speeches by cancer survivors and the run itself by yelling the same false slogan. You can imagine how people with terminal cancer and their loved ones would react. Some would know that marijuana may alleviate side effects of chemotherapy, just as it can ease suffering for some multiple sclerosis patients. But the suggestion of a cure is as cruel as it is moronic. Larsen’s “cannibus” has been rolling around B.C., reaping uncritical media coverage. It even blundered into the recent Walk for Reconciliation in Vancouver, an event to mark the end of federal hearings into the effects of residential schools on aboriginal children. I wouldn’t support the Larsen bunch for anything, unless it involved them looking for jobs. Just say no.

COMMENT Just like the good old days I would like to compliment a team of hardworking and dedicated professionals at Burnaby Hospital. Most of us older people believe we have a right to gripe because we no longer live in the good old days. I am one. How delightful to find a group of dedicated professionals who made me look forward to attending physiotherapy twice a week. I thank them for putting up with my crummy comments and taking a real interest in my real and imagined problems. What impressed me even more was the patience with which they guided not just me, but all patients through their paces. Many people still do a good job, which I appreciate. However, these professionals took real pride in their work, which is a real step up, and it showed over and over again on these Wednesday and Friday afternoons. It was just like the “good-old-days!” (real or imagined). Thank you! Ziggy Eckardt Burnaby

Courage, Confidence & Passionate Presence!
Award-winners shine in Burnaby A Burnaby school district program that supports vulnerable refugee and immigrant students, some who have experienced trauma before arriving in Canada, has been awarded an award of excellence for innovative services by B.C.’s Representative for Children and Youth, Mary Ellen TurpelLafond. As reported in the NewsLeader, the program, dubbed Body Worlds and the Brain Project, is an eight-week after-school program that includes activities such as rope climbing and kung-fu and time with Max, the therapy dog, to build confidence and support. Through the “back door approach,” students learn to open up about feelings, struggles and past experiences and build resilience and coping. Dealing with students who speak numerous different languages and little English, the strength of the program is that it focuses on activities that “can be translated to students struggling with language and culture, parents’ employment, separation from extended family, family stress/conflict, war, refugee camp, death of family members and violence,” said the award citation.
Students win GG Academic Medals Burnaby school district has recognized its eight recipients of the Governor General Academic Medal. For more than 125 years, the award has been given to students graduating with the highest average from a high school. For 2012-2013 Burnaby recipients were: Canny Kwok (Alpha secondary), Manvinder Bhangu (Burnaby Central), Daniel Piechnik (Burnaby Mountain), Grace Xiao (Burnaby North), Agnes Mei (Burnaby South), Daryl Seah (Byrne Creek), Alina Aref’yeva (Cariboo Hill) and Katy Thompson (Moscrop).
Distinguished alums at BCIT B.C. Institute of Technology recognized five individuals at its annual Distinguished Alumni Awards recently. Those honoured include Bill Dow, dean of BCIT’s School of Health Sciences; Craig Crawford, vice-president of operations for BC Housing; Gillian Findlay, investigative journalist for CBC News: The Fifth Estate; Robyn Worcester,
manager of the Stanley Park Ecology Society’s conservation programs; and broadcast journalist Ceilidh Millar.
Builders of excellence Dan Glavind of Dick’s Lumber and Building Supplies is amongst a half dozen Burnaby builders and renovators to receive an award of excellence from the Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association recently. Wall2Wall Media, which publishes magazines like the New Home Guide, Renters Guide and New Condo Guide was recognized at the Corporate Member of the Year.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK October 6th — October 12th
The Burnaby Fire Department Reminds Burnaby Residents to
Prevent Kitchen Fires
It’s time for Fire Prevention Week, and from October 6-12 the Burnaby Fire Department is joining forces with the nonprofit National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to remind local residents to Prevent Kitchen Fires. During this year’s fire safety campaign, fire departments will be spreading the word about the dangers of kitchen fires — most of which result from unattended cooking — and teaching local residents how to prevent kitchen fires from starting in the first place. According to the latest NFPA research, cooking is the leading cause of home fires. Two of every five home fires begin in the kitchen — more than any other place in the home. Cooking fires are also the leading cause of home fire-related injuries. “Often when we’re called to a fire that started in the kitchen, the residents tell us that they only left the kitchen for a few minutes,” said Chief Fire Prevention Officer Greg Mervin. “Sadly, that’s all it takes for a dangerous fire to start. We hope that Fire Prevention Week will help us reach folks in the community before they’ve suffered a damaging lesson.” Among the safety tips that firefighters and safety advocates will be emphasizing: · Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling, broiling, or boiling food. · If you must leave the room, even for a short period of time, turn off the stove. · When you are simmering, baking, or roasting food, check it regularly, stay in the home, and use a timer to remind you. · If you have young children, use the stove’s back burners whenever possible. Keep children and pets at least three away from the stove. · When you cook, wear clothing with tight-fitting sleeves. · Keep potholders, oven mitts, wooden utensils, paper and plastic bags, towels, and anything else that can burn, away from your stovetop. · Clean up food and grease from burners and stovetops. Fire Prevention Week is actively supported by fire departments across the country. Fire Prevention Week is the longest running public health and

The way this transition is handled—whether the discharge is to home, a rehabilitation (“rehab”) facility, or a nursing home—is critical to the health and well-being of your loved one. Studies have found that improvements in hospital discharge planning can dramatically improve the outcome for patients as they move to the next level of care and can help you avoid re-admission to the hospital. Patients, family caregivers and healthcare providers all play roles in maintaining a
Wendy scott patient’s health after discharge. And although it’s a significant part of the overall care plan, there is a surprising lack of consistency in both the process and quality of discharge planning across the healthcare system. What is discharge planning?
Medicare says discharge planning is “A process used to decide what a patient needs for a smooth move from one level of care to another.” Only a doctor can authorize a patient’s release from the hospital, but the actual process of discharge planning can be completed
by a social worker, nurse, case manager or other person. Ideally, and especially for the most complicated medical conditions, discharge planning is done with a team approach. The discussion needs to include the physical condition of your family member both before and after hospitalization; details of the types of care that will be needed; and whether discharge will be to a facility or home. It also should include information on whether the patient’s condition is likely to improve; what activities he or she might need help with; information on medications and diet; what extra equipment might be needed, such as a wheelchair, commode, or oxygen; who will handle meal preparation, transportation and chores; and possibly referral to home care services. see Why good discharge, a15
Burnaby Hearing Centre Why do you charge for a hearing test? 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. Kin

Easing the challenges of living with dementia If you assemble three people in a room, chances are good one of them knows someone with Alzheimer’s disease. That’s how prevalent the disease has become, according to the Burnaby-based non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. The statistics are more than just numbers. They represent local families who are affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. This insight has led the society to bring its free workshop, Getting to Know Dementia, to the area. The introductory workshop will run on Saturday, Oct. 19 at the Holiday Inn Metrotown (4405 Central Blvd.) “Participants will receive basic information on dementia and the impact it has on the individual, their care partners, and their support network,” explains Lori Kelly, one of the society’s support and education

Why good discharge planning is important ⫸
continued from page a10
Effective discharge planning can decrease the chances that your relative is readmitted to the hospital, help in recovery, ensure medications are prescribed and given correctly, and adequately prepare you to take over your loved one’s care. Studies have shown that as many as 40 per cent of patients over 65 had medication errors after leaving the hospital, and 8.5 per cent of patients discharged from Canadian hospitals are readmitted within 30 days. This is not good for the patient and not good for the hospital. Research has also shown that excellent planning and good follow-up can improve patients’ health, reduce readmissions and decrease healthcare costs. Under the best of circumstances, the discharge planner should begin his or her evaluation when the patient is admitted to the hospital.
The family’s role The discharge staff will not be familiar with all aspects of your relative’s situation. As family (caregiver), you are the “expert” in your loved one’s history. The discharge planners should discuss with you your willingness and ability to provide care. You may have physical, financial or other limitations that affect your caregiving capabilities. You may have other obligations such as a job or childcare that impact the time you have available. It is important to tell hospital discharge staff about all this. Some of the care your loved one needs might be complicated. It is essential that you get any training you need in special care techniques, such as wound, feeding tube or catheter care, procedures for a ventilator, or transferring someone from bed to chair.
PLACE 2013
Because people are in a hurry to leave the hospital, it’s easy to forget what to ask. Depending on the circumstances you may need to hire outside help for the following care responsibilities: • Personal care • Household care • Healthcare • Emotional care Effective discharge planning increases the well-being of patients and caregivers and can prevent readmission. It is often not given the attention it deserves, and ineffectual planning often adds to patients’ and caregivers’ stress and can increase the cost to the healthcare system.

What do you love about your job? The favourite part of my job so far has been getting to know the locals and the community around the shop. I have had so many people come in looking for something they haven’t been able to find and after we talk for a while I feel like I know them. I like trying to track down the rectangular bread cloche they loved, or their friends 10-cup teapot that they accidentally broke and need desperately to replace. I also enjoy the cooking classes because I have designed them to be more like dinner parties. They are my guests and we have a very social night while the chefs create a great meal for them.

What do you like about the Heights? I love the culture of the Heights. Having just moved to Capital Hill I was amazed by how established it is. ! have apple trees and fig trees in my yard, huge rose bushes that were planted decades ago. My neighbours are 89 and 92 and have lived in their house since 1955! There is such a strong sense of community too, people that come to the shop want to buy things to keep the street alive and their options open that don’t involve driving off the strip. I like being part of something that still continues to grow, and I like the direction it’s taking.

Knights fall to Panthers The St. Thomas More Knights were licking their wounds after being severely scratched and clawed by the Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers on Friday. In a mild upset, the Surrey squad blanked the Knights 21-0 at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex West. STM went into the AAA
high school football game ranked third in the province, one spot ahead of Tweedsmuir. The loss left the Knights 2-1 in Eastern Conference action. They will look to rebound this Friday when they travel to the Okanagan to play the Kelowna Owls. • It was a good weekend
for local pigskin Panthers as Burnaby’s Moscrop Panthers defeated North Vancouver’s Argyle Pipers 35-7 at Burnaby Lake in AA action Friday. This Friday’s game (4:30 p.m.) will be a cat fight of sorts with Moscrop taking on the Timberline Wildcats from Campbell River.
