Coyote encounter leaves dog injured

Transit change worries locals

Cayley Dobie staff reporter

A Burnaby man and his family are celebrating their dog’s resilience after she was attacked by a pack of coyotes along a Burnaby Mountain trail on July 30.

The Linklaters’ 18-month-old coonhound, Addy, was out for a run with Tim Linklater – something he’s been doing with his dogs for years.

“I jog every day and my running partner is my dog,” Linklater said.

“There’s a trail that we hit every second day …that runs alongside (Kinder Morgan’s) south fence.”

While Linklater and Addy were running down the hill along the Burnaby Mountain trail, they came upon another jogger and dog. As Linklater approached, the other dog jumped back and, at first, he thought he’d startled it.

After pausing for a moment to see if he’d scared the dog, he turned back to Addy, only to see her running after a coyote – the real reason the other dog had backed away.

“My dog got lured into this culvert and then that’s when – on the other side (of the culvert) – the attack took place,” he recounted.

Linklater and the other jogger stood outside the culvert trying to see what was happening or if Addy was going to run back out, but she didn’t and after a couple of minutes he knew he had to do something if he was going to save his dog.

“I’m sitting there helpless. I knew something was going on and I knew it was a secured area so it wouldn’t be another dog,” he said.

Bitten: Tim Linklater and his dog, Addy, are recovering from an unpleasant encounter Tuesday morning, when Addy was attacked by a group of coyotes while the pair was out running along on a trail on Burnaby Mountain.

According to Linklater, his dog was lured away from him by a coyote and then attacked once isolated. Addy had to have emergency surgery to repair her badly bitten back legs.

At a time when Burnaby council is pushing the city’s vision of a more transit-oriented community, one councillor is concerned TransLink’s newest cuts will work against it.

On Tuesday, TransLink announced the end of its employee pass program, FareSaver and free travel for family members of monthly pass holders on Sundays and holidays – all effective Jan. 1, 2014. The transition will occur around the same time the Compass Card program is implemented.

Burnaby Coun. Colleen Jordan said she’s worried the move will discourage transit use, which is the opposite of what the programs were intended to do.

“When they bring in any new system there’s going to be some changes and some people are never happy with any change, but this one seems to be very painful because they’re doing it in drips and drabs now,” she said. “This is another layer of specialized programs there to encourage people to take transit.”

Burnaby youth adventures down the Fraser Cayley Dobie staff reporter

When 21-year-old Marie Pudlas applied for the Sustainable Living Leadership Program at the end of May, she didn’t expect to hear from the organizers so soon.

But in June Pudlas got a call from the Rivershed Society of B.C. informing her she had been selected for the month-long program that will take her north to Mount Robson and from there she – along with seven other young people – will canoe, raft and hike down the Fraser River.

The program, organized by the Rivershed Society of B.C., is an annual trip open to young people across the country. The 25-day, 1,400 kilometre adventure aims to educate youth about sustainable living and the different ecosystems that can be found in British Columbia. The participants began their journey on Thursday (Aug. 1) and for the next 25 days will travel south down the Fraser River, camping under the stars, exploring nature and visiting various communities along the way.

Pudlas said she was

happy to be chosen even though, only days before she left, it still hadn’t sunk in.

“You send a resume, cover letter saying why you want to be in the program, and you have to make a report on a project that you want to do,” Pudlas told the NOW during an interview at Burnaby’s Fraser Foreshore Park.

The project has to be something the participants intend on implementing when they return to their communities after the trip. As a Burnaby native, Pudlas’ project is the creation of a school garden at Cariboo Hill Secondary.

“I’ve already started working with them, but this program will help me build a better plan,” she said.

Pudlas, who graduated from Burnaby Mountain in 2010, is currently studying urban ecosystems at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Langley.

“I finished a diploma in landscape design there, actually. That was two years and now I’m doing another two or so years in the degree program,” she Trek Page 5

Transit: Employee passes, FareSavers and family Sundays gone continued from page 1

The City of Burnaby has 95 city employees currently taking advantage of the pass program, according to Jordan. In total, the program had 300 businesses and 25,000 employees.

“It encouraged people to take transit, and also then we don’t have to supply parking spaces for people with cars,” she said.

“That’s an expense too. All those little things add up. I would say that’s not a positive change.”

Jordan said she’s also concerned about the transitional phase when Compass Cards and paper tickets will be around at the same time.

“My main concern is that it actually looks like what they’re trying to do is discourage people from using transit, and they had so many programs to encourage

people,” she said. “And for the sake of a one-size-fits-all payment system, those are going away.”

New Westminster Coun.

Jonathan Cote said he’s also worried about the changes potentially discouraging transit use.

“I think it’s always a concern when you remove any kind of incentive to promote people to use public transit,” Cote told the Burnaby NOW. “Things like the FareSaver tickets or family program put in place make it easier for people to take transit.”

Cote said he lives near the Columbia SkyTrain Station, and his family often uses the family program on the weekend.

“I use transit quite regularly, my whole family uses transit,” he added. “I think these changes will discourage families from taking transit. Not a lot of families

live in such close proximity to a SkyTrain station, and adding up the upfront cost chokes you to get on the SkyTrain. I hope in some way this will be addressed.”

He also noted when the transit authority was first considering the Compass Card, it was clear it would not be changing the rate structures in place, and it would not eliminate discounts.

“I think it’s important for TransLink to be talking more about what kind of incentives are with the new (Compass Card) and how they’ll be replacing these discounts.”

TransLink maintains this is a move towards a more equitable system.

“We don’t know what the savings would be,” said Derek Zabel, TransLink spokesperson, in an email to the NOW. “(This) is about

Superstore* Old Navy* Payless Shoes* BuyLow Foods* Natural Focus Foods* Fair Market* M&M Meats* * not in all areas

creating fairness and equity across the system.”

Zabel’s comment echoes what TransLink’s executive vice-president had to say in the initial press release announcing the fare tariff changes.

“This is about equity and fairness in the system,” Bob Paddon said in the release. “We took a good, hard look at our programs to determine which ones still make sense. We found some programs benefited a select few people and companies.”

Paddon said the incentive programs were successful – providing an 84 per cent increase in ridership and a 50 per cent increase in service hours – in the past decade.

“Our incentive programs did their job,” he said. “In the interest of fairness and efficiency for the Last week’s question Are you excited about the new royal baby?

overall system, it’s now time to dial back on some of our discount programs.”

The Compass Cards will go into beta testing this fall, and TransLink is looking for testers.

“Beta testing could go up to four weeks as they test the system,” Zabel told the NOW. “After beta testing, we will take some time to correct or fix any issues we might encounter.”

Following the testing, the transition to Compass Cards will begin in the fall, Zabel said.

“Both fare systems will be running at the same time as we transition to the Compass Card,” he added. “Compass Card stored value will offer approximately 14 per cent off cash fares depending on the zone or type of pass.”

Attack: Guard helped dog owner up the bite marks on her back legs.

“She’s doing OK now.

She’s limping; She’s got her cone of shame on, her legs are all sewn up (and) it’s two more weeks of healing,” he said.

Later that day, Bob Love, from Kinder Morgan, contacted the Linklaters offering to pay for all the veterinary expenses, which came as quite the surprise, Linklater said.

“Wow, that helped, because my wife and kids were all upset … and I’m in the dog house because we have a $900 vet bill and then Kinder Morgan graciously offered to pay,” he said.

This isn’t the first coyote encounter Linklater has had on his runs; often he sees coyotes sitting along the trail.

He’s also noticed many missing dog and cat posters in the area, pets that may have been snatched up by the resident packs.

Conservation Officer Jack Trudgian agrees there’s been a spike in the coyote population across the Lower Mainland and people should be careful when out enjoying the trails, especially because most coyotes still have their pups with them.

“It’s not very often you hear of a pack of coyotes trying to get a bigger dog because they’re very protective of themselves, they don’t want to be injured,” he said. “They could have been a family group.”

said.

The sustainable living program is an opportunity to study and explore 10 of the 12 ecosystems in the province, she added.

“Getting to see just the different plants and environment out there – I haven’t gone through that many ecosystems,” she said. “Just seeing what’s out there … I’m really interested in those things.”

While the scenery may be what draws in participants like Pudlas, the focus of the program is teach young people about sustainable living and the importance of responsible community and resource development.

For Pudlas, sustainable living means ensuring people protect resources that can’t be replenished.

“It’s a closed loop of sorts,” she added.

In addition to Pudlas’ school garden initiative, she said she rides her bike to and from work and tries her best to eat local and incorporates weekly vegetarian nights.

“It’s the little things,” she said, which – according to the program’s mission statement – is what it aims to promote in its young participants.

“This is a chance in a lifetime,” Pudlas said. “I’ll look back on it and go: I’m glad I did that.”

Whether she’ll feel the same way after 25 days of camping, Pudlas couldn’t say, but she was definitely keen to get started.

Kinder Morgan gate and called to the security guard to let him in. Together, the men ran over to where Addy had been cornered into a bush near the fence.

“Fortunately, she ran into the brush,” he said.

Addy’s defensive manoeuvre – one she learned while being chased by other dogs at the dog park – may have saved her life, Linklater added.

“I’m grateful because if she ran … that’s one of the coyotes common tactics, they’ll run down their prey, and they’ll pounce on them when it’s tired,” he said.

Addy was eventually coaxed out of her hiding spot and taken to a New Westminster veterinary clinic where she received emergency surgery to stitch

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Postpartum support available

Dear Editor:

The Pacific Post Partum Support Society staff and board of directors wish to send our condolences to the Gibson family and community of Winnipeg.

This is tragic news that highlights the importance of resources for women, families and community.

An estimated one out of every six women experiences troubling depression or anxiety after the birth or adoption of a child.

This is referred to as postpartum depression (PPD) and can be a tremendously stressful time for the family. PPD is often characterized by despondency, emotional instability, anger, guilt, tearfulness, worrying, anxious thoughts or images, feel-

It may occur shortly after the arrival of a new baby or many months later. For some women, symptoms may begin in pregnancy. If you are experiencing any symptoms, and your youngest child is younger than three years old, please call. You are not alone. We are here to help.

It is unfortunate that it is often these types of tragedies that bring PPD into focus. We do not know whether Lisa Gibson was suffering from PPD or postpartum psychosis. Most often it is postpartum psychosis that make headlines as it can often end in terrible tragedies such as this story.

It is important to distinguish postpartum depression as a separate illness, however, as

The most important factor for all new mothers and fathers, regardless of their diagnosis, is that they receive treatment and support through what is often a challenging time.

Food: Group shares skills more social to buy and preserve food with others. Instead of food being something we do in a rush, attending to where our food comes from can restore food to the centre in life with family and friends.

A little bit of gardening can go a long way, too.

Anyone with a balcony or place for a pot can grow lettuce greens. In our mild climate, it’s possible to grow greens like chard almost year round, and store root vegetables for most of the winter just by leaving them in the ground.

These “go local” suggestions are at an individual level, but it’s critical that governments at all levels address food security: for the protection of farmland and support of farmers, urban and rural;

for education and the promotion of food skills, including growing, storing and cooking; and to deal with the poverty that keeps many people in Canada malnourished despite the abundance of food on supermarket shelves.

Buying and eating local food is a good choice at the moment.

In the future it will be the only option on the table. We and our governments can either plan for that inevitability or suffer the future consequences.

So, in addition to the other suggestions for going local, here’s one more: call an elected representative and ask what he or she is planning to do toward food security.

And you can join with others to create the changes we need. Burnaby Food First is a group of

residents and representatives of community organizations who work on local food issues.

Among other activities, the group offers free community workshops on topics like container food gardening and canning.

By learning and sharing skills or volunteering your time on other aspects of food security, you can help strengthen our community’s ability to respond to these important food issues.

Burnaby NOW • Friday, August 2, 2013 • A09

Stefania Seccia staff reporter

While other Metro Vancouver building permit numbers are on the decline, Burnaby may beat its own 2008 record.

So far for 2013, permits have totaled more than $427 million, which is coming close to the last record.

Building permits in 2008 boasted more than $700 million in building permit values by the end of the year.

“Looking at the figures provided by staff it seems (we) may be heading for a record year in development in Burnaby,” said Coun. Pietro Calendino at council’s July 22 meeting. “We are at $427 million and we’re only halfway through the year

and with a few other major developments, we might beat the record.”

Calendino noted it’s not just about putting up more highrises, but the density allows the city to provide more amenities for its citizens.

“Some of the major developments will apply for density bonuses, which will allow the council to provide things like more parks, community centre – like the one we just opened (in Edmonds) – and other facilities that we have in the plans.

“Citizens should also realize there are benefits coming through those developments.”

However, not all cities across the Lower Mainland area are experiencing the same building boom.

According to the Vancouver

Regional Construction Association, the Lower Mainland-Southwest region’s total building permits as of this May were down by 25 per cent with $636.6 million this year compared to $851.4 million in May 2012.

Total building permit values were six per cent lower in the first five months of this year compared to the same period in 2012.

Non-residential permits dropped the most, from $661 million compared to $1.1 billion last year – a 40 per cent decrease.

But, residential permit values went up with $2 billion as of May this year compared to $1.8 billion in 2012 – a 14 per cent spike.

For more information, visit www. vrca.bc.ca.

Weekend closures planned for Willingdon Drivers headed east on Highway 1 this weekend will have to find an alternative to the Willingdon Avenue exit in Burnaby.

As part of the continued Highway 1 construction, the Willingdon Avenue overpass will be closed to northbound traffic on Aug.

2 from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. on Aug. 6, according to a media release.

Drivers looking to exit the highway into North Burnaby will have to use the Boundary Road or Sprott Street exits instead.

The closures will also affect southbound traffic

along Willingdon as construction crews reduce the Willingdon Avenue overpass to one lane.

First Avenue and Kensington Avenue are other options for drivers wishing to access Highway 1 from North Burnaby.

For more informa-

tion on the closures, visit www.pmh1project. com/closures-detours/ construction-bulletins /Pages/VancouverBurnaby.aspx and select “Significant Closures at the Willingdon Avenue Interchange.”

The give and take of community art Burnaby Art Gallery’s KIOSK brings public art installations to Burnaby Civic Square Julie MacLellan staff reporter

What would happen if you built a kiosk, took it to a busy public space and opened a free “swap shop” where people could take an item, leave an item?

Rebecca Bayer likes musing about just that sort of question.

It fits in to her work in art and architecture, where her projects explore the interaction between people, materials and their surroundings.

“I’m interested in the way people who are in the public realm act and interact with the fabric of the city,” she explains.

Bayer is spending a sunny July Friday in her Give and Take kiosk at Burnaby Civic Square.

She’s arranging an ever-changing collection of small objects – books, CDs, jewelry, knick-knacks, toys – and chatting with passersby who come up, curious about why the brightly painted green kiosk has shown up in the square.

The short answer? It’s part of a public art installation being put on by Burnaby Art Gallery this summer.

Bayer is one of six artists who’ll be using the kiosk this summer, each with a shortterm art installation on a new theme.

Bayer’s Give and Take is based on the basic idea of exchange without any money.

“It’s a simple concept: Give something, take something,” she says.

Her installation has been set up in the square since July 16. Bayer stocked it herself to start with, using a few small donated items, and since then she’s allowed the contents of the kiosk to ebb and flow naturally as passersby take part.

She’s pleased with the public response so far.

“It’s better than I was really even anticipating,” she says, noting people seem to be interested in the simplicity of the swap system.

“Kids are really into it,” For she notes. “Kids especially are more on familiar with the act of tradKIOSK, ing.” scan with Her visitors have run the gamut, she says – men, women, young, old, from a variety of backgrounds.

A sign on the kiosk asks, “How do you say give and take in your language?” – and the responses filled in by visitors attest to just how many languages and cultures are represented in the area.

Which isn’t surprising, Bayer points out, considering the makeup of the Metrotown area – which was one of the reasons she likes the location so much.

In fact, her original idea for a kiosk location was the Metrotown bus loop. She was intrigued by the idea, she says, because it’s one of those locations that isn’t a destination but is rather an “in-between” place.

She saw a symbolic connection between the place itself and the kind of goods being left in the kiosk – “the ephemera of our daily lives, little bits and pieces that come and go.”

“There’s the in-between of the object and the in-between of the place itself,” she

Stop and swap: Rebecca Bayer, right, makes a trade with Carmen Lee at the Give and Take kiosk at Burnaby Civic Square.

Bayer’s exhibition is part of an off-site art installation by the Burnaby Art Gallery, which will run at the square outside the Metrotown library branch all summer featuring a variety of artists.

notes.

That having been said, however, she’s pleased that in the end, the civic square was a chosen location.

It offers her a vantage point from which to watch the changing face of the city through the day – dancers out performing in the square, mothers with strollers, people asleep in the park, working folks out enjoying their lunch hour.

“It is so active here,” she says.

Plus, she notes, with a nod out over the lush green lawn with its large shade trees and flower beds, it’s a peaceful sort of area in the midst of the city bustle.

“People are not in a big rush,” she says.

That means they’re willing to stop and check out the kiosk – and, in many cases, to engage in long discussions with Bayer about what she’s doing and, in some cases, about what they’re leaving.

“Sometimes I hear people’s life stories,” she says with a smile. “The thing that I’m getting the most out of at the moment is that interaction. … Personally, what I’m collecting is the stories of what people are doing here.”

There’s a particular reward in that, she says, because it shows that the art installation isn’t just static – it’s drawing people to take part.

“It’s open to anybody walking by,” she says. “It’s something that is truly interactive.”

She’s pleased that she’s seen people come up one day asking questions and then return the next day with an item to give.

Give and take

“How do you say give and take in your language?” asked artist Rebecca Bayer – and visitors obliged with providing answers in a wide variety of languages.

She sees the interest in the kiosk as reflective of the fact that there seems to be a resurgence in the popularity of the idea of exchanges.

She notes that, in modern times, the whole idea of non-monetary bartering really took root in the counterculture of San Francisco in the 1960s. Recently the rise of public art exchanges and pop-up libraries – where people can leave a book, take a book – have seen it catch on once again.

“There’s a bit of a buzz about this kind of thing,” she says.

Give and Take will be on at the square until Aug. 11.

Bayer herself is on hand Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Other days the kiosk is watched over by volunteers, also from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Wooden treasures:

Neno Catania’s unique sculptural bandsaw boxes are part of the Knock on Wood exhibition now on at Circle Craft Gallery on Granville Island.

Catania is from Burnaby.

Photo contributed/ burnaby now

Woodworker featured in gallery show For Neno Catania, a lifetime of working with wood began with a job as a hardwood floor tradesman.

These days, his sculptural woodwork can be found on display in a variety of artistic settings – including a current group exhibition by the Circle Craft Cooperative Association on Granville Island.

Knock on Wood, which celebrates the craft cooperative’s 40th anniversary, is running until Aug. 27 at the Circle Craft Gallery in the Net Loft on Granville Island.

The Italian-born Catania came to Canada at the age of two and was raised in Burnaby, where he still lives.

He says his work with hardwood floors inspired him in entirely new directions.

“That initial contact with wood inspired me to teach myself the art of box making, after spending many hours reading books, magazines, watching videos and attending craft workshops,” he said in a press release. “Throughout the 1990s, I developed my skills and techniques working highly figured woods, thereby creating unique sculptural bandsaw boxes.”

Catania says he enjoys all aspects of working with wood.

“It’s a constant surprise and pleasure to me when I cut into a fresh green log and find what is behind the bark,” he said.

Catania uses local woods such as big leaf maple, birch, alder, elm and cherry.

Other artists featured in the Knock on Wood exhibit include Judson Beaumont, Sandy Douglas, Claudia Hayward, Jason Marlow, Peter Pierobon, Ed Pretty, Dale Rouleau and Rainer Schmid.

Local talent onstage at Theatre Under the Stars Julie MacLellan staff reporter

It’s a favourite destination for theatre lovers every summer, and this year is no exception.

Theatre Under The Stars is back once again for its summer run at Malkin Bowl in Stanley Park, offering up two comedic musicals: How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, and Legally Blonde – The Musical.

Two young local residents are in this year’s ensemble for How To Succeed in Business: Angela King and Charlie Deagnon.

The 21-year-old King is no stranger to the TUTS stage, having first appeared in its 2010 production of Singin’ in the Rain.

She’s also been seen by Burnaby audiences in the casts of Footlight Theatre’s For more on musical producthe TUTS tions and in New shows, Westminster with scan with Royal City Musical Theatre.

Despite her extensive experience, King is quick to say that musical theatre is a hobby for her. She’s studying biological sciences at Simon Fraser University and has her sights set on a potential future in marine biology or physiotherapy.

Mind you, she’s been performing for much of her life.

“I grew up dancing a lot and branched into theatre in later years,” she explains.

She still dances and serves as a dance teacher for Burnaby’s Douglas Ballet Academy and the Vancouver Academy of Dance, where she leads classes for everyone from toddlers to moms in ballet, jazz, tap and musical theatre.

Yes, she is as busy as that makes her sound.

“I’m kind of used to this kind of lifestyle,” she says with a laugh.

Plus, she says, she just plain loves what she’s doing.

“I think it’s the people,” she says simply, explaining what draws her back to Theatre Under The Stars each year.

This year, she says, the choice of shows is an added draw.

How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying is a satire on corporate life, set in the 1960s.

King says she was immediately attracted by the fact that it’s set in an era she’s not familiar with.

“All the hairstyles and costumes are really cool,” she says.

“It’s a lot of effort.”

And she adds the show itself is particularly funny for adult audiences.

“It’s really well-written, it’s got witty humour,” she explains.

“It’s just so funny. I can’t even get over how well-written it is.”

Her castmate agrees.

Deagnon, 23, moved west

appearing in How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying at Theatre Under the Stars. from Calgary last September to study musical theatre at Capilano University.

“How to Succeed is a show I’m quite fond of,” he says. “The show itself is very funny, very witty.”

He notes that it’s “over-thetop ridiculous” while at the same time offering up an incredibly intelligent satirical take on the corporate world.

Deagnon has been in eight or 10 shows in the past, with his biggest role to date being NicelyNicely in Guys and Dolls.

He’s balancing his Theatre Under the Stars run with paid work in the restaurant industry

PLUS, EVEN BIGGER SAVINGS AT:

– yes, he says, he is one of those “arts major serving types” – while he works to make musical theatre his career.

Which makes working with TUTS a huge opportunity, he says, because it gives amateur performers a chance to work alongside professional actors and team members to get their first foothold in the industry.

He has two more years of his program ahead of him and after that, he says, he’s ready to go where the work takes him.

“The thing with being a performer is, you have to be able to pack up and move on where you find work,” he says. “I’m defi-

nitely serious about pursuing this as a career.”

For now, though, both King and Deagnon have a few more weeks of Theatre Under the Stars performances to get through before they set their sights on their next project.

How To Succeed in Business is alternating with Legally Blonde on the TUTS stage this summer, running until Aug. 17.

In August, Legally Blonde is on odd days and How To Succeed in Business is on even days.

How to barbecue a mouth-watering rack of ribs ON COOKING

E

Chef Dez

veryone, other than vegans and vegetarians, loves a good rack of pork ribs that have been cooked to perfection. The trouble is, how does one achieve this on the barbecue without making them tough and dried out?

Unlike the typical grilling of steaks and chops, ribs need low temperatures in a moist environment for a long period of time to become tender and juicy.

Outdoor gas grills and

charcoal barbecues, however, never produce moist heat, and this is where you, the home chef, come in. As the ribs are cooking, a wet liquid called a “mopping solution” will need to be applied to the ribs regularly as they cook. I make a simple mopping solution by combining one-half cup of beer, one-half cup of vinegar, four chopped garlic cloves, a few slices of onion and a tablespoon of dry meat spice rub. This is enough mopping liquid for two racks of ribs and can be easily applied with a basting brush.

You will be cooking the ribs over indirect heat, so purchase only enough racks of ribs that will fit on your grill/barbecue in

this manner. Indirect heat means that there will be a heat source not directly under where the ribs will be.

On a gas grill this would be achieved by having the lid down and keeping one or more burners on, but placing the ribs over the one or more burners that will stay off. On a charcoal grill this would mean using a heat deflector.

Decide on a good dry meat rub (spice mix) or make one yourself – there are tons of recipes available online. Coat both sides of your racks of ribs with this spice rub.

Preheat your grill/barbecue to approximately 275 to 300 F. You are going to need to be able to maintain

this temperature for three to three-and-a-half hours with the lid down. Firstly place the spice-coated ribs bone side down and cook indirectly for one-half hour.

Lift the lid and “mop” the tops of the ribs, then close the lid and cook for another half hour before mopping again.

Basically you are going to generously mop the ribs every half-hour, cooking with the lid closed in between these times and maintaining the suggested temperature. Once you hit the three-hour mark, lift the lid and coat the tops with your favorite sauce. Close the lid and cook for 10 minutes, then sauce again, cook another 10 minutes, sauce once more, and then a final

10 more minutes.

Carefully remove the cooked tender ribs and let them sit for five to 10 minutes before serving.

These cooked ribs won’t be as tender and delicate as ribs that are braised in liquid in the oven, but they will definitely have a more “flame-licked” taste.

Charcoal grills are great for adding real barbecue flavor, while gas grills tend to be lacking in this department. Buying a smoker box designed for your gas grill with soaked wood smoking chips will help to improve this. I recommend soaking your wood chips for at least one hour before draining and using. Smoker boxes and wood chips can usually be

found at local department stores, hardware stores, barbecue shops, or gourmet food stores. I have even seen them offered at some butcher shops.

The cooking times and temperatures mentioned in this column are approximate and will depend upon the quality of grill or barbecue you are using and the accuracy of your grill thermometer. What you are trying to achieve is a slow cooked internal meat temperature of 190 to 205 F before resting and serving. A good instant read thermometer will help you accomplish this.

Happy cooking!

A romp in the park: Burnaby Lake Rugby Club, in blue, had an easy time of it at the fourth annual Lighthouse 7s until meeting Canada's development team in the elite men's final.

Burnaby Lake shut out at Lighthouse 7s Tom Berridge sports editor

The Burnaby Lake Rugby Club were denied in both the elite men's and women's finals at the Lighthouse 7s rugby tournament last week.

The premier men's team fell to Canada's developmental 7s team – the Maple Leafs – 12-7 in the fourth annual championship final, while the premier women also lost 33-7 to the San Diego Surfers – a team loaded with national U.S. representative players.

"We met our match on Saturday,"

said BLRC sevens manager Roko Kapaiwai.

In the men's final, Burnaby trailed by a slim 7-5 margin heading into the second half before Connor Braid scored the pivotal try on a 70-metre run for the national hopefuls.

The Burnaby women trailed the current regional champs by just a converted try before the Americans scored a further 19 points to win in a romp.

Despite the losses, Burnaby Lake continues to lead the overall B.C. Sevens series in both the men's and women's divisions.

The final two tournaments in the four-part Rugby B.C.'s summer series take place in Abbotsford this Saturday and the following weekend in Surrey hosted by Bayside on Aug. 10.

In the social division, the Youngbucks and the Untouchables vied for the title the two teams have sparred over for the past three seasons.

The Untouchables, Lighthouse winners in 2011, wrestled the title away from last year's defending champs 19-17 in the championship game.
