The proposed expansion of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline would have a significant effect on people trying to sell their properties along the route.

A Burnaby senior is suing the Pacific National Exhibition and the City of Vancouver after being trampled by a horse during the fair last August. Yuen Yen Benny Wong, 77, was walking in the Miller Drive area of the fairgrounds on Aug. 22 when an uncontrolled horse suddenly ran up the roadway and knocked him to the ground, according to the notice of civil claim filed Nov. 28. The suit also names as a defendant John Doe, the owner of the horse, who is unknown to the plaintiff. Wong, a retired B.C. Ferries worker, claims he suffered a traumatic brain injury, head injuries and a stroke as a result, the court document says. He is seeking damages as well as the cost of past and future health care. When contacted at her South Burnaby home, Wong’s wife, Min Yee, confirmed she hired a lawyer and referred all further questions to her. Please see HE WILL NOT RECOVER, A3

Plan to almost triple pipeline’s capacity ⫸
continued from frOnt page
Kinder Morgan is proposing to expand capacity of the pipeline, which runs between Edmonton and Burnaby, from the current 300,000 barrels per day (bpd) to 890,000 bpd to increase exports of oil sands crude to overseas markets. It plans to twin the pipeline along the existing right-of-way but has proposed alternative routes in urban areas, such as Burnaby, where development over the years would impede the project’s construction. The survey was conducted online last month among 803 randomly selected B.C. residents who are Angus Reid Forum panelists. The margin of error is plus or minus 3.4 per cent, 19 times out of 20. After the National Energy Board cancelled local information sessions on how people can participate in its pipeline approval process, choosing to hold them online instead, Stewart launched his own information program at http://letbcdecide.ca/.

Burnaby photographer and SFU student Connor Stefanison was one of this year’s winners in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition, and his photographs can currently be seen at the World’s Best Wildlife Images of 2013 exhibition at the Royal BC Museum in Victoria. The show opened Nov. 29 and runs until April 6, 2014. Stefanison was the winner of the Eric Hoskings Portfolio Award.
‘He will not recover from his injuries’ ⫸
from frOnt page
Wong’s lawyer, Robyn Wishart, said Benny Wong was at the PNE with his wife on senior’s day. “He was trampled by the horse, sort of thrown in the air. He landed on his head. His injuries are catastrophic in nature.” His traumatic brain injury required surgery and it’s left him unable to eat, walk, use a washroom by himself or carry on a conversation. He remains in hospital in intensive care,
Wishart said. He has “weathered quite a few storms” healthwise since the incident but has managed to pull through to the point that doctors are looking at releasing him to a long-term care facility. “He will not be able to return home to his wife and son. He requires 24 hour care,” she said. Unlike motor vehicle accidents where the Insurance (Vehicle) Act provides benefits of $150,000 which can be paid
out directly for medical needs, Wong’s case provides no such benefits, “which is why we’ve started this lawsuit so quickly,” Wishart said. He’s on a public waitlist for a bed in a care home, but he doesn’t speak English, only Cantonese. “There’s a lot of concern by the family that with what little speech he has he’s not going to be able to communicate with the people in the rest home,” she said. “It’s a trying time
to say the least for the Wongs.” He’ll get the first bed available to him, but that could be in a facility without Cantonesespeaking nurses or care aides or anywhere in the Lower Mainland. The family is seeking a facility close to their Burnaby home where his wife lives with their son, who has disabilities himself. If the lawsuit is successful, the family hopes to receive enough
compensation to allow them to pay for Wong’s care privately, which would give them a choice in what facility he is moved to, Wishart explained. “He was a healthy man in his late 70s with his wife at the PNE one moment and the next moment he’s fed through a feeding tube in intensive care,” she said. “He will not recover from his injuries. They are of a catastrophic nature and so he will live out the rest of his life in a care home.”

PNE spokesperson Laura Ballance declined to comment on the case as it’s before the courts. None of the defendants have yet filed statements of defence. At the time of the incident, media reported that the horse left the livestock barns and wandered onto Miller Drive. It became spooked and ran off when a staff person approached it. Two people were taken to hospital as a result.

Man arrested in lesbian assault Wanda Chow
wchow@burnabynewsleader.com
A 45-year-old Burnaby man has been arrested in connection with an assault of a woman who claims it was due to her sexual orientation, says the Vancouver Police Department. On Sept. 18 at about 5:15 p.m., a man boarded a westbound No. 135 bus at East Hastings Street and Kensington Avenue in Burnaby. At around 6 p.m., at Renfrew and East Hastings in Vancouver, two women boarded the bus, according to Metro Vancouver Crime Stoppers. While seated, the two women kissed, which may have triggered a reaction in the male suspect. When the two women got off the bus at East Hastings and Commercial Drive at around 6:30 p.m., the suspect followed then, without provocation, confronted and assaulted both of them, punching one in the face. The assault was interrupted when several people came to the women’s aid and chased the suspect. Vancouver police responded immediately but were unable to
locate the suspect in a search of the area. The woman who was punched sustained a bloody nose and was treated at the scene by paramedics. Photos of the suspect, obtained from bus surveillance cameras, were published through Crime Stoppers, which resulted in a number of tips leading VPD to identify the suspect. The allegation by the victim that she was assaulted because of her sexual orientation is “taken very seriously by the Vancouver Police Department and one which is being reviewed by our Hate Crimes Unit,” said VPD on Nov. 27. On Friday, VPD Const. Brian Montague confirmed that a 45-yearold Burnaby man had been arrested in connection with the case. “Charges have been recommended, but have not yet been approved by Crown,” Montague said by email. “The investigation is on-going. “He was arrested and released pending further investigation and charge approval. He has no criminal history.” twitter.com/WandaChow
BRIEFS Bonsor goes solar
Teachers’ essay contest
Bonsor Recreation Complex has a new solar hot water heating system thanks to $271,067 in funding from the federal government. The money is from Canada’s gas tax fund which provides funding to municipalities to build and revitalize infrastructure. The Bonsor project, fully funded by the gas tax money, generates renewable solar energy to heat the pool and the centre’s hot water system. “This solar project will significantly reduce energy costs and consumption, making a valuable and innovative contribution to meeting Burnaby’s sustainability goals,” said Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan.
Burnaby Teachers’ Association (BTA) is sponsoring its second annual essay contest for students at Burnaby public high schools. This year’s topic is, “What is needed to develop and maintain a vibrant, public education system that benefits both the individual and society?” Two prizes of $500 will be offered to winning contestants in grades 11 and 12, and gift certificates for top essays in grades 8 to 10. “Last year’s essay contest was an opportunity for students to tell us what they value in public education,” says BTA president James Sanyshyn. “This year we want to hear from students about how we can strengthen that system.” Deadline is Feb. 12, 2014. Entry forms can be found at www.burnabyteachers.com.
TAKE NOTICE THAT the Council of the City of Burnaby proposes to designate a Business Improvement Area (BIA) for the west side of the North Road area. The purpose of the BIA is to help local business people and property owners to upgrade and promote a local business district to improve its economic viability. The business promotion proposed to be undertaken by the North Road Business Improvement Association includes joint marketing, security and beautification improvements, and research and marketing studies. It will be designed to benefit the designated commercial area which is: 1. West side of North Road between the Trans Canada Highway and Austin Road 2.

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Commuters need more
LAST WEEK:
Commuters in Burnaby and New Westminster are pretty well served by transit. That is if they happen to live close to one of the 16 SkyTrain stations along the two lines serving our communities and happen to be travelling to Vancouver or a destination that’s also convenient to SkyTrain. A trip to South Surrey, or Delta or anywhere in the Fraser Valley beyond King George Station, the easternmost SkyTrain stop, can be an arduous adventure of tenuous bus connections and heavy traffic that can take hours. There’s no doubt SkyTrain has changed the landscape of Metro Vancouver since the Expo line was opened in 1986. The extension of a fourth line out to Coquitlam from Burnaby by 2016 will change it yet again. Huge town centres have grown up around SkyTrain stations and more are being developed, especially along the Millennium Line through Brentwood and the Brewery District in Sapperton. But one thing SkyTrain hasn’t done is ease traffic congestion. A recent survey by the GPS software company TomTom said Vancouver’s traffic is the worst in North America. Worse than L.A. Worse than New York City. That’s despite the investment of billions of dollars to build the SkyTrain system. SkyTrain is based upon the premise that most commuters are travelling from the nearby suburbs to jobs in Vancouver or elsewhere along its three lines. But the daily commute is more complicated than that. Particularly as jobs migrate out of the downtown core to commercial and industrial developments in outlying communities where land is cheaper. A pitch by Surrey mayor Diane Watts for light rail transit lines in her city is a good start. It should be heeded. It’s time for TransLink to get away from its one-track emphasis on SkyTrain.

Greenhouse gas trial balloon leaks VICTORIA – Last week I described the inevitable demise of B.C.’s “carbon neutral government” scheme, which continues to take millions from hospitals and schools to fund greenhouse gas reduction projects of questionable value. It’s like the AirCare program, a pollution solution that sounded great at the time. AirCare soon found itself chasing diminishing environmental returns. Public sector carbon offsets will suffer the same fate, growing as a political liability as their effectiveness declines. Former premier Gordon Campbell’s climate goals officially remain in place: 33 per cent greenhouse gas reduction by 2020 and a whopping 80 per cent by 2050. If the gas boom proceeds as planned, B.C. domestic emissions will not be down, but up substantially by 2020. New liquefied natural gas export proposals continue to pop up, the latest ones on former industrial sites near

Squamish and Campbell River. But questions linger about the pollution and greenhouse gas impacts. As she left for the government’s largest ever trade mission to Asia, Premier Christy Clark dismissed a study that estimated the impact of three LNG plants. That study, done by Kitimat environment group Skeena Wild, assumed “direct drive” technology to chill and compress gas for export. It concluded that three plants would burn two and a half times the amount of natural gas currently used in Metro Vancouver. Clark and Environment Minister Mary Polak relied on the same talking point to reject the study. The technology of powering LNG is still being

negotiated, as producers work towards environmental permits, so the total can’t be calculated yet. BC Hydro is predicting little electricity demand for LNG until after 2020, which suggests the early development will either be direct drive, the industry standard and simplest method, or building one or more gas-fired power plants in northwest B.C. Even if gas usage is only equivalent to one Lower Mainland, it’s plain to see greenhouse gas emissions are going up. Clark has repeatedly argued that B.C. LNG should get credit for displacing coal in China and elsewhere. I asked Polak if the international community would accept B.C.’s assertion that emissions from our LNG production shouldn’t count. “We haven’t said we won’t count them,” Polak replied. “What the premier’s talked about and I’ve talked about is that this whole issue of how one accounts for greenhouse

gases in a particular region is one that is constantly evolving. There are regularly changes to the international standards for accounting for these things and reporting them. And certainly the ability for one jurisdiction to impact positively on the GHG emissions of another, we think is appropriately considered in how one accounts for these things.” Clark visited the Jiangsu LNG import facility in China that could be a key export destination. Globe and Mail China correspondent Nathan Vanderklippe reports that the gas being imported at Jiangsu isn’t replacing coal. It’s being used in addition to coal in peak demand periods. Clark also visited Japan, another key customer for LNG. Japan needs new energy sources to replace production from its disaster-tainted nuclear facilities. Will B.C. LNG be part of the solution to human-induced climate change? On the evidence so far, the answer is no.

COMMENT
Burnaby is not for sale I am writing regarding the purported “benefits” Burnaby will realize from Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain Pipeline project. I encourage everyone to read the City of Burnaby May 2012 staff report on the proposal to pipe dirty tar sands oil through our city. The real bottom line is “there is nothing in it for us.” Should this project proceed, here’s what’s really in it for Burnaby: Disruptive construction of a new pipeline through our city and the increased risks of two dirty tar sands oil pipelines in an earthquake zone. By Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Anderson’s own admission to the Burnaby Board of Trade, few construction employees would actually be from Burnaby. We’ll have three tanker loading docks instead of one at Westridge Terminal, where minor spills are already a regular occurrence. We’ll see larger oil tankers full of diluted bitumen transiting Burrard Inlet and the Georgia Basin just about every day of the year. Burrard Inlet is still recovering from the 2007 Westridge pipeline rupture. To summarize, Burnaby will be turned into a sacrifice zone for the fossil fuel industry. The only people who would really benefit are a handful of very, very rich Americans. My neighbours and I say that Burnaby is not for sale. We’re not buying what Mr. Anderson is selling. Peter Cech Burnaby
BURNABY: WHERE DEVELOPERS’ FANTASIES ARE FULFILLED Avoiding public input on Brentwood Mall redevelopment has now become a pattern. For one, city hall is using the same consultation process that is used for minor zoning adjustments, rather than a process that is appropriate for such a vast development. So only the few residents living within 30 metres receive written notice, despite the fact this project will directly impact tens of thousands daily for generations. One sign notifying of public hearings is posted somewhere where the public is unlikely to read it. Secondly,
the NDP city council allowed the private corporation to hold “public” meetings—which the mayor actually boasted of in a speech. Then they held the first hearing in the final days of summer last year—a timing tactic used by cynical politicians seeking to minimize public input and canceled the second hearing this fall. Let us not forget the emerging Solo towers right across the street. Once rumoured to be 40 storeys, the brochure says 55 storeys. But why not make it 70, or 100? The sky’s the limit in Burnaby where developers’ fantasies are fulfilled. The current tally looks to be about 17 towers of 40 to 70 storeys within two blocks of Lougheed and Willingdon. Mayor Corrigan, in a 2010 presentation to Bosa developers and real estate agents available on YouTube, described the plans for “human scale” development in Brentwood. What happened? In his 2012 inaugural speech he claimed, “Whenever Burnaby embarks on a new ... land use plan, to ensure the plan is citizen-driven, we incorporate consultation that will involve and engage everyone ... Maintaining citizens’ faith in the city’s consultation processes is critical.” Meanwhile, the proposed Oakridge Mall redevelopment does look fairly human scale. Maybe Burnaby could learn a bit about democracy from Vancouver. Helen Ward Burnaby
IT’S A QUESTION OF DECEPTION Re: Now that’s a scandal (Letters, NewsLeader, Nov. 20) It is amazing that Ziggy Eckardt does not see the Senate issue for what it is. He claims that “not a nickel of taxpayer money was ever at risk” but it was and, with Pamela Wallin, still is. If Nigel Wright had not repaid Senator Mike Duffy’s indebtedness to the taxpayers, that would be outstanding too. What NDP leader Thomas Mulcair is concerned about is not the money but the deceptions of the dozen or so senators that tried to prevent the alleged money frauds from becoming public knowledge,
and the preponderance of lies and changing testimonies of some members of the PMO to whitewash the whole affair. Differences of opinion are legitimate between government parties, but lies and deception in the House and to the public in order to protect the activities of a party is simply not acceptable. I believe Mr. Wright acted to remedy a situation without realizing how it would play out. That was poor judgment, and when the situation blew up, he was dismissed. I think Mr. Harper was initially unaware of the proceedings but in short time realized the situation for what it was and tried to deny such knowledge because of the damage it could do. Evasive answers was his response when questioned. Then the answers were modified to accommodate new emerging discoveries. In any case, this is not a “kerfuffle” as Mr. Eckardt claims, but a serious situation that undermines the integrity of government. Deceiving the electorate is not a constituent of democratic government— hopefully something, I am sure, with which even conservative sympathizers can agree. I commend Mr. Eckardt’s zeal for the Conservative party, but not his reasoning. Dolores Myles Burnaby
PETS NEED PROTECTION Re: Pet store owner defends sale of animals All breeding and sales of any kind of animal needs to be monitored and regulated to avoid overpopulation, and suffering of the animals themselves. Owning a pet is an obligation that needs to be taken seriously so it is never just dumped in the bush when unwanted or neglected in an out-of-sight cage. Safeguards need to be in place in each municipality to protect pets, their sale and purchase and lives. It has been said that the measure of a society is how it cares for its seniors. And I believe, its pets, too. Bev Kitteringham —online comment burnabynewsleader.com

Busy beaver blacks out businesses Mario Bartel

For the second time in a month, a busy beaver made humans idle on Wednesday. BC Hydro crews responded to a report of downed transmission lines on Darnley Street at about 4:30 a.m. They found two trees toppled into a cluster of seven power lines including a transformer. One of the trees showed signs it had been chewed by a beaver, said BC Hydro spokesperson Mora Scott. It fell and knocked a neighbouring tree into the lines. Earlier in October another blackout in the area was caused by the wind knocking down a tree that had been weakened by a hungry beaver, said Scott.
Wednesday’s power outage affected about 30 customers, mostly businesses clustered in an industrial complex on the dead-end street near the Burnaby Lake Sports Complex West. One of those left idle was Soma Millwork and Design, a custom furniture manufacturer with about 15 employees. Roy Long, Soma’s operations manager, said the outages cost his company about $5,000. The latest blackout also forced him to delay two deliveries to contractors that fell behind schedule. “It affects everything,” said Long, who estimated about 100 people work in the various businesses in the complex. “We
can’t do anything.” Scott said while the utility has a vegetation management program to trim trees and bushes that might prove a threat to nearby lines, “beavers chewing a tree is beyond our control. All we can do is be ready to respond as quickly as we can.” Long, who’s spotted all kinds of wildlife in the nearby bush, said the solution is simple. “The beavers should be relocated,” he said. But any move of animals would be up to the City of Burnaby, said Scott. “We work with municipalities to review any dangers to our lines,” she said. twitter.com/newsleaderfotog
Mayor Corrigan gets honour Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan has been named an honourary citizen of Burnaby’s sister city, Zhongshan, China. The city, the birthplace of Dr. Sun Yat-Sen, has been Burnaby’s sister city since 2011 following visits by Corrigan in 2007 and 2009. It was the first sister city agreement for Burnaby since 1965. In bestowing the honour, Zhongshan City officials cited Corrigan for his commitment to “strengthening the exchanges and cooperation” between the two cities, said a press release from Burnaby city hall. Since 2007, several exchanges have occurred

Emphasize safety when decorating for the holidays Decking the halls for the holidays is a beloved tradition for many families. A home’s exterior festooned with lights help create a festive holiday mood, while stockings hung by the chimney and a Christmas tree in the living room bring that holiday cheer inside. Though the holiday season is a festive time of year, it can quickly turn tragic if revelers do not emphasize safety when decorating their homes. When decorating this holiday season, be sure to employ the following precautions so your holiday season is safe. • ExErcisE caution with holiday lights
Every year many fires begin with holiday lights and other decorative lighting. Such fires may start because of frayed or bare wires, broken or cracked sockets or even loose connections. It’s important
to be especially careful when decorating your home with holiday lights, inspecting each set of lights for damage and discarding any damaged sets. When choosing lights, use only lights certified for outdoor use on your home’s exterior, and never use outdoor lights inside. • PurchasE thE right christmas trEE
Though it can be tempting to purchase the most eye-catching Christmas tree you find, avoid acting rashly until you have learned a little about the tree. Artificial trees should be labeled as “Fire Resistant.” Such trees can still catch fire, but they are more resistant to fire than trees without such labels. When buying a live tree, make sure the tree is fresh. The tree should be green, and its needles should be difficult to pull off of branches, which should not be easily breakable. Tap the tree on the
ground before purchasing it. If the tree loses a lot of needles upon tapping the ground, it isn’t fresh. Trees that aren’t fresh are more susceptible to fire. • limit usE of candlEs.
Like Christmas trees, candles are a popular yet potentially hazardous decorative item during the holiday season. When decorating with candles, be sure all candles are extinguished before leaving a room and never leave them burning when you go to bed. Candles should be kept away from any decorative items, including Christmas trees, that can catch fire. Never place candles near curtains, furniture or presents. Holiday enthusiasts with little children or pets at home might want to decorate with fake LED-light candles instead of traditional candles.

Finding time during the holiday season Perhaps no time of year is as busy as the holiday season, when social engagements and holiday shopping combine to dominate so much of what is normally our free time. Additionally, holiday travel and late nights spent at work to make up for lost time also cut into our free time, leaving many people in search of ways to add more hours to the day. Though there’s no way to make a day last longer, there are ways to save some time this holiday season. • Go it alone
Staying home for the holidays can save families a significant amount of time during this busy time of year.
Holiday shopping can be very time consuming, but shoppers who decide to shop alone may find themselves more productive and focused on the task at hand. Rather than going from store to store and checking items off multiple shopping lists, shoppers who shop singularly can devote all of their
attention to their own lists. • Shop online. Another way to save time when shopping for the holidays is to shop online. This saves you the time it takes to drive to and from the mall and walk around multiple stores, all the while saving you from the often frustrating and time-consuming experience
Sweet
of finding a parking space. In addition, you can shop online at any time of day. So rather than just eating lunch at your desk on your lunch hour or spending the last hour before you go to bed for the night idling away on the couch, you can make more efficient use of that time by doing some holiday shopping.

• Plan ahead
Whether shopping for holiday gifts, taking the family to buy a Christmas tree or organizing a holiday dinner with friends, the more you can plan ahead of the holiday season the less time you will waste once the season hits full swing. For example, when choosing a weekend to go Christmas tree shopping, inform others a few weeks in advance and let them know you want to go early to avoid crowds. This saves you time and might just help you land one of the best trees on the lot. The same principle of planning can be applied to other aspects of the holiday season as well. Planning a meal early allows you to gradually stock up on menu items, saving you the hassle of rushing to the store at the last minute or planning a menu in the days before the party when you will already have enough on your plate.

Don’t shy from shortcuts ⫸
continued from page a14
Hosting a holiday dinner is a big undertaking, one that often finds hosts spending a significant amount of time in the kitchen. But hosts can save time by taking some shortcuts regarding the menu. For instance, when hosting an especially large meal, don’t be afraid to buy some premade side dishes from a local grocery store or buy a bakery cake rather than whipping up your own homemade dessert. Guests will understand if you cut some corners in an effort to save some time, and the food will likely be just as delicious.
• Stay home
Travel is a big commitment come the holiday season, but what about staying home this season? If the time commitment of traveling is something you truly want to avoid this year, invite some friends and family over to your home instead. You might be more busy on the day of the holiday, but you will save yourself the travel days you usually build into the holiday season. Parents of young children might prefer to stay home so they can create their own unique holiday memories, while those without children might just appreciate some peace and quiet during this hectic time of year.

Thanks to sales featuring heavily discounted items, millions of people wait to start their holiday shopping until the season hits full swing. But in spite of such bargains, overextending budgets
during the holiday season is too tempting for many shoppers to resist. However, shoppers need not risk financial peril if they shop smartly and heed some dos and don’ts of holiday shopping.
• Do set a buDget
Establish what you can afford to spend on gifts and other seasonal trimmings early on. The National Retail Federation estimates that the average consumer will spend around $700 come the holiday season. But not every person needs to be a big spender. The “buy now, pay later” mentality that credit cards offer lands many shoppers in trouble, a sticky situation many only notice once the first bill comes due. If you cannot afford to pay your entire credit card balance off once the bill arrives, you face steep interest charges that can quickly add up. Instead, pick a set spending limit and keep to it no matter how tempting it may seem to overspend with a credit card. • Don’t be fooleD by false sales
Retailers understand that a good advertised deal lures shoppers into their stores. As a result, some retailers mark up the cost of certain items in order to slash the prices for holiday sales. Even if you are saving the assumed 50 to 60 percent, the final cost of the item still may be higher than normal. Comparison shop and do your research so you don’t fall victim to clever pricing. • Do scheDule time for shopping
Hectic schedules sometimes result in last-minute shopping that leads to impulse purchases. Schedule some distraction-free
time for your holiday shopping so you’re less likely to rush into purchases before thinking them through. • Don’t Double buy
Some shoppers use the holidays as an excuse to buy more for themselves than the people on their lists. While it’s tempting to treat yourself come the holiday season, this is a great and quick way to deplete your budget. If you plan on using holiday deals to supplement your own wardrobe or household needs, reduce your spending the rest of the year and save money for year-end purchases. • Do collect coupons anD seek incentives
Comparison shopping not only helps you get the best price, but also it can shed light on coupons, shipping discounts and other incentives that lower the overall cost of products. Search online for Web sites that publish coupons and codes for online discounts, including free shipping. Join a store’s marketing list and receive emails with deals sent directly to your inbox. • Do keep a level heaD
Some people forget the true meaning of the season is spending time with loved ones. Getting swept away by shopping and worrying about deadlines can make the season less enjoyable. Don’t allow the stress of holiday shopping to compromise an otherwise joyous time of year.

First-time holiday hosts can take a number of steps to ensure their menus appeal to all of their guests.
Holiday menu planning for first-time hosts Novice holiday hosts often have a lot on their plates. Whether hosting family or friends or a combination of both, first-time hosts typically want to impress their guests while ensuring they get enough to eat and have an enjoyable evening. Since dinner is such a big part of holiday gatherings, hosts often place extra emphasis on what to serve, and that can be tricky when this is the first time they are hosting. When planning the menu for your holiday soiree, consider the following tips.
lasagna might not be doable for a larger crowd, as it will force you to prepare multiple entrees, which means more time in the kitchen juggling the various cooking duties and less time with your guests. Once you have confirmed just how many guests you will be hosting, you can then choose a main course that suits the size of your guest list.
Please see tips, a18
Looking for that unique gift for Christmas?
• Get a head count
Though other factors will influence what to serve, the size of your guest list may ultimately dictate what to serve. For example, a small gathering of four to five people will likely rule out turkey, as even a small turkey will prove too much effort and produce too much extra food. On the same note, a small dish like

First-time hosts want to ensure everyone gets enough to eat, so it’s easy to overdo things and prepare too much food. This can be expensive, and guests may feel obligated to overeat so hosts don’t have to discard any of the food they worked so hard to prepare. Though it might once have been a holiday tradition to overeat, many men and women now prefer moderation, and hosts should keep that in mind when preparing their holiday meals. Hosting a holiday dinner for the first time can be nerve-wracking.

of the 159 that will be competing. Cheng said, “if he can finish in the top 50, that will be pretty decent, of course as a coach I’m hoping he finishes better than that.” Hui will benefit from the experience of playing against such a strong field and his “hard work and willingness to try out new things” could serve him well, he said. As for the trip to the United Arab Emirates for the tournament Dec. 17 to 29, Hui has been saving up from his part-time job teaching chess to younger kids, organizers provide some money for room and board, and he’ll be the beneficiary of his
dad’s frequent flyer points for his plane ticket. In addition to travelling alone internationally for the first time, Hui is looking forward to the chance of possibly meeting former longtime world champion Garry Kasparov, now retired, who will be in attendance. While Canada has some strong players, chess is not as big a deal here as it is in Europe and Asia where some countries even sponsor players to attend the worlds, he said. “I’ll have to work really hard and just see how I do. I’m pretty positive going into this tournament.”

Operation Red Nose was busy on its first weekend last Friday and Saturday in Burnaby and New West, and is seeking volunteers. More than 100 people used the service with 34 rides provided in the two cities. The program helps impaired drivers get home in their own vehicles during the holiday season. Unlike a taxi, Operation Red Nose volunteers drive you and your
vehicle home. “It was extremely busy and we could have given even more rides if we’d had a few more volunteer teams,” said Operation Red Nose coordinator Chris Wilson. The service is free but donations to KidSport are encouraged. Last year, the average donation was more than $30. The service is Fridays and Saturdays until Dec. 21, plus New Year’s Eve.
Volunteers work in teams of three, with two driving the client in the client’s vehicle and the third following in the team’s vehicle. Last year, 260 volunteers in Burnaby, New Westminster and the TriCities gave almost 900 rides. Volunteers must be at least 19 and are needed not only to drive and navigate but also to take calls requesting rides and dispatching teams. “We provide the service

STM takes two titles in tilts at B.C. Place The St. Thomas More Knights were double winners at the provincial high school football championships held at BC Place on Saturday. The Knights knocked off Port
Coquitlam’s Terry Fox Ravens 28-0 to take the AAA junior varsity title. The win avenged a 14-7 loss to the same team in last year’s final. Tavin Grant had rushing
touchdowns of 43 yards and 23 yards while Terrell Jana scored on a 48-yard run and Liam Feenan on a 19-yarder. The Knights Grade 8 team returned to the squad’s former
glory by downing Surrey’s Lord Tweedsmuir Panthers 20-12. STM won 10 consecutive titles between 1998 and 2007, but had been shutout of the title the last five years.

Panthers 13th at provincials Burnaby’s Moscrop Panthers finished 13th at the provincial AAAA senior girls volleyball championships in Penticton on the weekend. The Panthers lost to Surrey’s Earl Marriott Mariners 25-8, 25-14 and 25-17 in the first round of championship play to drop down to the consolation side. They then were defeated by Port Coquitlam’s Riverside Rapids 25-16, 26-24 before beating Mount Baker Wild 25-20, 25-8 and the North Peace Ookpiks 25-18, 25-16 to take 13th place. In pool play, the Panthers lost 20-25, 25-16, 15-3 to Riverside, 25-23, 25-14 to North Vancouver’s Handsworth Royals and 25-23, 23-25, 15-7 to the Penticton Lakers.
Hait GNAC honourable mention Middle blocker Madeline Hait of Burnaby has been named as an honourable mention to the Great Northwest Athletic Conference’s women’s all-star volleyball team. The Burnaby Central grad finished second in team kills with 199 in 84 sets in her junior season at Simon Fraser University. She also led the Clan in blocks, average .95 per set. SFU finished the season 11-13 overall and 6-12 in GNAC. They had more wins than in their first three NCAA seasons combined and the six conference victories matched their combined three-year total.
Running back Nico De Poali scored three touchdowns including the deciding one with 2:26 left in the game. Derek Best and Walter Dingwall also had rushing TDs for STM.

Burnaby forward Nicole Kuhn tries to squeeze past Katie Davies and another New Westminster defender in the first half of their Pacific Coast Field Lacrosse U-15 field lacrosse game, Saturday at Queen’s Park.
Burnaby Minor Hockey Association product Luke Lockhart set a Canada West record by scoring three shorthanded goals as the UBC Thunderbirds downed the hometown Lethbridge Pronghorns 9-2 Friday. He also tied a Canada West record with two shorthanded goals in one period, which UBC’s four shorthanded goals in the game were one shy of another league record. The next night, Lockhart picked up an assist in a 3-1 victory to give him seven goals and nine points in 16 games. The former member of the WHL’s Seattle Thunderbirds is in his first season with UBC.
