Surviving the horrors of war at 16

itting up against rocks and boulders, wounded men were slowly losing their lives, their bodies stained red from blood. The Allied forces were tasked to take the eightkilometre stretch of land from the Germans, leaving many soldiers vulnerable on Omaha Beach, waiting, ON MY BEAT row by row. No poppies were Stefania Seccia blowing in the wind and no larks were singing in the sky. Just the battered, beleaguered, exhausted and bleeding soldiers stranded across the beach after storming it in one of the most gruesome and infamous battles of the Second World War. The soldiers who did survive the onslaught of bullets, mines and grenades needed aid, and it was coming. A carrier filled with nurses and doctors was pulling up on shore to help those entrenched in the sand. And one local man was on that ship. He has the black-and-white photograph, approaching the beach from the carrier, to prove it. Signs of mortar shells, tanks and billowing smoke are nowhere to be seen in a quiet South Burnaby neighbourhood where a Battle of Normandy veteran and the last living Freeman of the City calls home. The freeman title is an honour bestowed upon distinguished persons in public service, and Burnaby had five, part of the city and

City MP says premier making oil deals ‘on the fly’ Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Burnaby MP Kennedy Stewart thinks Premier Christy Clark is making deals “on the fly,” when it comes to heavy oil projects in B.C. Stewart, MP for Burnaby-Douglas, was commenting on the recent framework agreement between Clark and Alberta

Premier Alison Redford. “All this stuff seems to be happening on the fly without any consultation or input from the local communities that will be impacted,” he told the NOW. Clark and Redford announced Tuesday that the two had reached a framework agreement, where Alberta would agree to support B.C.’s five conditions that must be met for heavy oil projects in the province.

In return, the B.C. government, which wants a bigger share of the profits, agreed to not go after Alberta’s royalties. B.C.’s five conditions for oil companies are that the environmental review process is met, that there are “world-class” oil spill prevention and cleanup measures in place for spills on land and water, legal requirements over aboriginal and treaty rights must be addressed, and B.C. must receive

Dave Taylor, president of Legion Branch No. 148 in The Heights, is keeping the branch alive as it waits for a new space Stefania Seccia staff reporter

Although the North Burnaby Legion closed its doors earlier this year, the president is still braving the cold every week by selling off parts of the old bar – just to make sure his club survives. With the building that houses the Burnaby Heights Legion Branch No. 148 going through redevelopment, president Dave Taylor is doing what he can to make sure his club will still have funds to last the next few years. Redevelopment was the only option for the beleaguered legion because it suffered financially due to changes to B.C.’s smoking and drinking laws, and increasing property taxes. The branch, established in 1937, is expected to move into the western portion of the new four-storey development. The Legion is putting up the land as its part of the deal. Since closing in January, Taylor stays at the Legion four days a week for its garagetype sale. “I started bringing everything out that we’ve accumulated over 77 years,” he told the Burnaby NOW. “And bits and pieces of the building I took out, pool tables – just

Sea of flags: Cariboo Hill Secondary student Sammy Ortiz places a Canadian flag into the lawn at the George Derby Centre.

Tiny flags with a big message

Social studies students from Cariboo Hill Secondary spent Wednesday and Thursday planting Canadian flags on the lawn at George Derby Centre. “It has been so positive, people are stunned. They are just feeling the remembrance, the respect,” said Linda Bush, the coordinator of administrator services with George Derby Centre.

Got a News Tip? editorial@burnabynow.com

The weatherproofed flags are part of a public awareness campaign spearheaded by the centre and its volunteer society. For a $5 donation, members of the public can pledge a flag to honour a veteran. Bush said the flag planting sparked conversation between students and veterans. The students who helped with the flags are visiting other classrooms to

talk about their experience. The centre purchased 5,000 flags, and all will be displayed on the lawn of George Derby Centre in the days before and after Remembrance Day. To donate $5 and dedicate a flag to a veteran, text 45678 on your cellphone, or visit the centre in person at 7550 Cumberland St. For more information, call Bush at 604-527-4465. – Jennifer Moreau

OUR VIEW

War is almost an abstract in our daily lives – we see it on TV, but it’s far away. And if it’s in Afghanistan or Syria, it’s complicated and mired in politics and changing goals. Do we ever consider what we would do if our country went to war as it did in 1939? What would we do if faced with a true threat or call to action? Could we put down our smartphones, golf clubs and lattes and pick up weapons instead?

Have we become too soft to think of sacrifice? Are we even capable of understanding that heroes are more than hockey players? At the moment of silence Monday, we ask you to consider what causes you would risk life and limb for. Would you pay the price for freedom that other generations paid? And, after those thoughts, be thankful that the younger generations of Canadians have not had to make that same decision.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Cautionary tale for school reform Dear Editor:

A cautionary tale for Kindergarten to Grade 9 curriculum renewal: “There once was an impatient farmer. He was so anxious that he went into his field every day to measure his plants. To his dismay, they just would not grow as fast as he wanted them to. “So one day he devised a solution. He would tug each shoot upward just a little bit each time he visited. Thus his plants appeared taller when he measured them. “The farmer was happy to see this result. For six days he went around boasting about his brilliant new method of encouraging growth. On the seventh

day his neighbours came to see for themselves this miracle – only to discover that the crop had withered in the night.” Some of the principles outlined in the renewed provincial curriculum and assessment testing for K-9 students remind me of this fable. Their author claims that the principles reflect “the growing body of research on brain development and learning.” But so often today’s insight from research becomes tomorrow’s discredited idea in practice. For example, “whole-language” learning and “sound-it-out” phonics have each had their turn as insight and discredited idea in teaching of reading and writing in our public schools. I believe that a child’s brain is like a digital

recorder – uncritically absorbing everything the child encounters. This divine design is intended to equip our children to take in the large amounts of information (facts, data and images) they must first absorb before they can start learning the skill of pattern recognition that enables them to make sense of the world. Only then, after mastering second-order pattern recognition can they learn thirdorder adult skills of “critical thinking” and finally how to constantly evaluate incoming information – keeping or discarding it as appropriate. The period of uncritical absorption lays the foundation for all that follows. Just as dwellings built on incomplete foundations later sag; so educations based on incomplete absorption of evidence-based knowledge (from maths to reading and writing, history, biology, chemistry, physics and geography, etc.) will later fail. K-9 students already have all that they can do in an average school day to absorb the basics of what they need to know to prepare for their lives in what promises to be an intensely competitive global economy. Let’s not require them to also practise “critical thinking” so soon. In short: let’s get back to basics, let’s lay a solid foundation of literacy and numeracy in K-9 and leave the critical thinking to

Lay off the tree theatrics Dear Editor:

Re: Trees bylaw just doesn’t cut it , and Tree bylaw issue not so clear cut, Burnaby NOW, Oct. 25 and Nov. 1. I could not have agreed more with the writers. I love trees. I believe they play a wonderful, colourful part in our landscaping, but more importantly, we all know that they are an immeasurable, vital element of our universe. That said, I also believe that neither the city nor anybody else should have the power to stop anybody from cutting a tree on their property if they choose to do so. In fact, in my opinion, trees that can potentially grow beyond 30 feet in height should not be allowed to be planted within the city. From my house, I have a wonderful view of Cypress, Grouse and Seymour mountains. It is a spectacular view. However, with trees getting taller and taller, I can see that in the very near future, I will lose that view, which will be replaced by a blanket of trees. I have already witnessed that in another part of the view I used to be able to enjoy. As I said, trees are a must-have for all aspects of life, but let’s not get too theatrical about them.

But even though the regional districts aren’t exactly omnipotent, sitting on one does make balancing the family budget a little easier. Last year, councillors and mayors from the Lower Mainland who were among the lucky few to be chosen as Metro Vancouver directors collectively took home $870,000 in stipends plus $61,000 in expenses; and all of it on top of their local council salaries. Christmas even came early for them. Last month, Metro Vancouver awarded its directors a 2.3 per cent pay increase retroactive to the beginning of 2013; despite the fact that there

were no reports of directors panhandling to make ends meet during the year. For a Metro Vancouver director that means $354 for every regional district meeting that is wrapped up within four hours or $88.50 per hour. God forbid the meeting should run over four hours because then the fee doubles. For directors with additional responsibilities or titles, it can bring a whole new meaning to two-income households. The mayors of Burnaby, New Westminster, Richmond and the district of North Vancouver all took home at least $26,500 from their gigs at Metro Vancouver last year, and that’s on top of the average

$105,000 that they were each paid by their respective communities. And for Metro Vancouver’s top dog, Greg Moore, it means an extra $70,865 from Metro Vancouver over and above his $85,418 salary as mayor of Port Coquitlam. All nice work if you can get it, but likely not the most ideal model for regional governance in 2013. Two megacities isn’t the answer, but maybe 40 communities is no longer appropriate. And it’s time for the provincial government to step up and show some leadership on the issue. Dermod Travis is the executive director of IntegrityBC.

Comment via BurnabyNOW.com I Barnstormer99: Not to take away the great charitable work some of the firefighters do, however it needs to be said that the fire services is a huge budget item for municipalities. Increasingly, taxpayers will want to ensure good value and budget accountability from their elected Councils. The Province needs to step up and increase ambulance services and take over the 60% of class the fire service receives, which are medical calls.

Salmon are returning to spawn om Still Creek, a promising sign that the health of the local waterway is improving. “What we’ve seen on Still Creek in recent days has been really exciting,” said Burnaby resident Mark Angelo, retired chair emeritus of BCIT’s Rivers Institute and the founder of World Rivers Day. “On some of the stretches of the creek, we’ve seen lots of chum salmon, and it’s been really neat to see.” The salmon spectacle has been attracting onlookers, according to Angelo. “I would see neighbourhood residents and school kids, or people who had read about it online, … I’d see some people who had travelled quite a distance just to see these fish,” he said. “For the people of Burnaby to come see the salmon life cycle play out in their own backyard is just so exciting.” Still Creek feeds into Burnaby Lake, so the spawning salmon would have travelled up the Fraser River, up Brunette Creek, across the lake and then up Still Creek, according to Angelo. Once one of the most polluted waterways of the Lower Mainland, Still Creek has come a long way, Angelo pointed out. According to Angelo, many groups partnered over the years to help Salmon Page 10

McLean: ‘We spent the night with the Germans threatening us from above’ continued from page 1

Simon Fraser University’s Freeman Legacy project. George H.F. McLean has lived in Burnaby for more than 60 years, raising a family and serving the public. On his dining room table, a large scrapbook filled with memories is splayed open with black-and whitephotographs – some even falling out. Many have McLean in them but most he took himself during the war and mailed to a cousin in Scotland to have developed – including a snapshot of the chaotic Omaha Beach from the water. “I was on the landing craft that delivered the … doctors and nurses to Omaha Beach,” he said. “We were doing special duty … because Omaha had badly shot up a lot of wounded that they were just sitting against the rocks, bleeding and it was heart-wrenching to see all these young guys wounded, waiting for attention.” They were stuck on the beach because the captain ordered the ship to land far up on it so the nurses wouldn’t get their feet wet. “We spent the night with the Germans threatening us When asked from above, and we had a about ever forget- guy who was really nervous,” McLean said. “He was cryting his experiing. He was a grown man, ence, McLean you know? We were the last says, “No, never landing craft ever to leave the shores. It was quite an ordeal ... I wake up when you’re not sure what happens to the ship.” thinking about McLean was 16 when he it.” fibbed his way into the Royal Canadian Navy a few years after war was declared. He was trained as an engineer and volunteered for a combined operation unit that would respond to any crisis. He was shipped off to Toronto, then Detroit to receive the necessary training. “I was a big kid at that time,” he noted. “And quite muscular, I weighed about 200 pounds.” The next thing he knew, he was boarding a landing craft in Orange, New Jersey as a member of the crew. “We headed out for Africa,” McLean, now 88, said. “We landed in Morocco. We were delivering a number of soldiers that would back up the British regiment that was pushing the Germans out of Africa at the time.” Tunisia was the destination, which is where a German stronghold was waiting for them. “They (German military) had built a base,” he said. “I think they expected it to be there forever. So we took their base and it was a mistake because they kept bombing us. One night, they came over and they dropped a series of bombs and they killed 28 British seamen.” McLean’s first taste of war, identifying blown up bodies of men still brings tears to his eyes as he retells it. “We had to go identify the bodies,” he added. “And here we are, pulling people out … it was a terrible experience for a young fella. One guy lost his head. How do you identify him? The war had its ups and downs. We were widely exposed.” As a crew member, McLean travelled to Gibraltar, North Africa, Malta, Sicily, Britain and France. “Everywhere we went, there were wounded soldiers waiting,” McLean said. “We had 12 nurses and an entire roll of doctors that were transported on D-Day.” However, being on a ship travelling the waters did not mean the ship McLean was on was immune from attack. “When that German plane dropped that bomb the impact lifted us out of the water, and we were a 20,000ton ship,” he said. “And it threw me to the deck.” That incident almost cost them their lives, but the injury he sustained instead took a toll on McLean’s hearing. “I hit my head on the deck there,” he added. “The German plane, I could see the pilot, they were 200 feet above my head and they just kept going. They were over the mast. He didn’t realize his bomb missed us, and we were lucky because we have 1,150 American soldiers aboard and 1,000 Dutch men. He could’ve really scored.” After the war, McLean moved to his South Burnaby home at a time when the house he built was surrounded by farms. His wife died in 2006, but he’s left with his five children, eight grandchildren and 12 great-grandchildren.

He entered into municipal affairs in 1957 and stayed for the next 30 years. He sat on many civic committees, coached minor hockey and is involved with many organizations such as the Royal Canadian Legion, Rotary Club and Burnaby Hospital Society. He’s also an active participant in the Memory Project, which is a Veterans Affairs of Canada program bringing veterans who share their stories into the classroom. By the end of the war, he was awarded many medals, including the North Africa Star, France/Germany Star, the Italian Star and the Malta Star. Despite the sounds of war far behind him and a life filled with volunteering and raising a family, not a day goes by that McLean doesn’t relive the memories of battles and fallen friends. “No, never,” he said about ever forgetting the experience, while choking back tears. “I wake up thinking about it.”

Never forget:

Pipeline: ‘Resistance will be big’ continued from page 1

B.C’s West Coast (and Kinder Morgan’s terminus is in Burnaby), but both need National Energy Board approval before proceeding. B.C. is already on record opposing Enbridge’s Northern Gateway project, as it currently stands, and this new framework doesn’t change that, according to Clark’s press secretary, Sam Oliphant. It’s the National Energy Board’s job to decide what pipeline or heavy oil projects can move forward, but Clark has the power to stop the projects, dead in their tracks, according to Stewart. “Premier Clark has made this clear. She’s said she wouldn’t provide electricity, she’s said in previous interviews she would not provide land permits. … If the premier of province says ‘no pipeline,’ the federal government won’t push it through. She has a veto over both pipelines,” Stewart said. Jonn Axsen, assistant professor with

SFU’s school of resource and environmental management, doesn’t think the premier has the social licence to allow either pipeline project, even if her five conditions are met, and he also raised concerns about climate change and oil spills. Axsen conducted a nationwide survey on the issue and found B.C. residents were more likely to oppose a pipeline coming through the province. “I think it’s pretty clear, if there is any serious movement to go forward with the pipeline – whether it’s Northern Gateway or Kinder Morgan – there will be resistance for almost any action,” he said. “It’s very important for our policy makers to pay attention to the case where there’s a large chunk of the population who are quite concerned or against the pipeline. That suggests to me the protests are not going to go away; the resistance will be big and widespread and will not stop.” www.twitter.com/JenniferMoreau

Salmon: Returning to Burnaby continued from page 8

rehabilitate the creek, improving the habitat for salmon. “It’s been so exciting to see this stream come back to life,” Angelo says. Last year, Still Creek also saw unusually high numbers of returning salmon, so this year’s promising run means 2012 was not a “oneoff,” according to Angelo. “(Still Creek) can provide a blueprint for other cities with severely damaged waterways flowing through them. If a plan is put in place, and there’s a will and desire, we can turn things around,” he said. “We can never give up on any waterway.” Burnaby’s Stoney Creek is showing high numbers of salmon returning this year, according to local streamkeepers. The NOW has also heard reports of salmon in

Eagle Creek, Buckingham Creek, (which runs into

Deer Lake) and in Deer Lake itself.

Bollywood shenanigans: Sabrina Saran of Burnaby is onstage in I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Chicken: The ‘Best Of’ Show, running Nov. 15 to 17 at the Newton Cultural Centre.

Best of Butter Chicken onstage

I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Chicken is back – and a Burnaby performer is part of the fun for the Butter Chicken “Best Of” Show. The live sketch comedy night is onstage Nov. 15 to 17 at the Newton Cultural Centre in Surrey. Burnaby’s Sabrina Saran is part of the lineup for the show, produced by South Asian Arts and Bollywood Shenanigans. It combines what’s being billed as “bestof-the-best” bits from previous Butter

Chicken Shows. Since 2010, they’ve been serving up ethnic-inspired comedy in shows such as I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Chicken, The Butter Chicken Reloaded, The Butter Chicken’s Back ... Alright, and The Fellowship of the Butter Chicken. “No topic is out of bounds for these comedy crusaders as they act, sing, dance and Bollywood their brains out in rapidfire skits penned by the Bollywood Shenanigans crew,” a press release says. The show also features Munish Sharma,

Leena Manro, Jason Vaisvila, Kallol Mitra, Carmel Amit and Stuart Gray. It’s on for five performances over three days, with 7 p.m. shows on Nov. 15, 16 and 17, plus a 9:30 p.m. show on Nov. 16 and a 4:30 p.m. show on Nov. 17. Tickets are $20 in advance or $25 at the door and can be purchased online at butterchicken. eventbrite.ca. For more information, check out www. bollywoodshenanigans.com. – Julie MacLellan

Gallery offers exhibitions at libraries The Burnaby Art Gallery is presenting eclectic selections from its collection at three new exhibitions at local library branches. The Burnaby Public Library’s Metrotown branch is playing host to Haydn Thomas: ESC CTRL, until Feb. 2. The exhibition includes a series of pencil crayon drawings by Thomas, combining forms and motifs drawn from nature. “Patterns emerge from these forms through a wandering, unplanned drawing process, with the artist seeking to allow the drawings themselves to unfold and bloom,” a press release explains. Thomas is inspired by various sources – Ukrainian Easter eggs, Indian and Tibetan mandalas, Moroccan rug designs, Polish and Eastern European lace work. Thomas is presenting an “artist walk” on Nov. 17, meeting in the atrium at the Metrotown library at 2 p.m. He will discuss his ideas on drawing and his recent experi-

mentation with patterning from various mushroom and fungus spores, then lead a walk to look at and collect natural pattern pieces in Central Park. The walk is free, and everyone is welcome. The Metrotown library branch is at 6100 Willingdon Ave. At the McGill branch in North Burnaby, art lovers can enjoy The Natural Numeral, an exhibition that draws on the gallery’s permanent collection to examine the use of numbers in printmaking. The release notes that the works reference the Gregorian calendar and seafaring charts, and draw upon scoring systems and the ordering of objects, precise measurement and cures for insomnia. “What can also be noted when viewing these works is the graphic presence of the numeral – in other words, the number as form or shape,” the release notes. The McGill library is at 4595 Albert St.

Winter is beautiful... unless you’re driving in it

MARINE WAY & BYRNE RD., BURNABY and GRANDVIEW HWY & RUPERT,VANCOUVER Who Needs Winter Tires?

18.99 - 29.99 Trico Force and Reﬂex Ice Winter Wiper Blades. Assorted Sizes. #21-1100x/1900X WE CAN INSTALL! See in store for details.

FROM $18.99

If you regularly encounter ice, unplowed snow, or slush—or if you drive in temperatures that regularly dip below 7°C/45°F—you can benefit from winter tires, also known as “snow tires”. Regular all season tires lose elasticity when the temperature dips below 7°C/45°F. Winter tires are constructed with a special compound that allows them to retain more elasticity in cold temperatures. Technologically engineered tread designs prevent snow build-up and improve ice and snow traction more than ever before—so you get a better grip on the road and better control of your vehicle. Winter tires provide better control for all vehicles—even 4WD vehicles—on snow and ice-covered roads. Whether you drive a car, SUV, pick-up or light truck, you’ll find four winter tires help you get a better grip on the road in difficult driving conditions. Without winter tires you are more likely to fishtail on corners and spin out on that icy hill.

Foodster leads tasting tour Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

The Vancouver Foodster himself, Richard Wolak, is serving up a delicious evening in Burnaby Heights next month. Wolak, writer and founder of www. VancouverFoodster.com, is organizing a Tasting Plates tour of the neighbourhood on Dec. 11. Though Wolak was a fan of Romana restaurant on Hastings Street, he was not aware of the other eateries opening in the area until last spring, he says. “I’ve been at Romana, for years I’ve gone there, but all I knew was Romana, I didn’t realize there was more to the neighbourhood,” he says, adding that the neighbourhood came on his radar again last spring when Chez Christophe Chocolaterie Patisserie and Glenburn Soda Fountain and Confectionery opened. So he made a visit to the neighbourhood. “When I did, I was like, ‘Wow, there’s all these new restaurants, it’s a real hub now,’” he says. “It’s a huge resurgence of that neighbourhood.” Wolak’s event is intended to make foodies in Vancouver aware of the neighbourhood’s offerings, he says. “I think an event like this is gonna put it more on the radar for people in the city,” Wolak says. “The people who go to my events are all foodies from all over the city.” Thus far, four locations are confirmed – Cioffi’s Meat Market and Deli, Caffe Divano, Chez Christophe and Glenburn. Wolak says four more locations will be confirmed in the next week. “The idea is, there’ll be Italian, there’ll be Greek, there’ll be Thai,” he says. Cioffi’s is planning tastings on both sides of their location – the meat market and the deli. Caffe Divano is serving up coffee and hot chocolate, and Chez

Christophe and Glenburn will be offering desserts. Wolak began his Tasting Plates event series nearly two years ago, he says. “I did one and it was a huge hit, and everyone was like, ‘when is the next one?’” Wolak says. Since then, he has been pacing how often he holds events, so that they aren’t too close together, he says. In the summer, he did one in North Vancouver. “North Van was a huge hit,” he adds. He has to check out each location before adding it to the event and has been visiting many places in the Heights recently, he says. “I’ve been eating a lot in that neighbourhood.” Wolak says. “Any place that I have any of my events, I’ve got to have eaten there first and it’s got to be good. If it’s not good, I’m not inviting them.” But Wolak also looks for something special at the places he adds to the tours. “If people are going to try the food, it’s got to be good food, first of all, but it’s got to be something a bit more enticing there for people,” he says. Because the Burnaby event is in mid-December, there will be a bit of a holiday theme, as well, according to Wolak. “The focus is Burnaby and Burnaby Heights, but because it’s so close to the holidays and Burnaby Heights neighbourhood is going to be lit up with all the lights in the neighbourhood, I thought, well, might as well make it holidayish,” he says. Tasting Plates, Burnaby Heights edition, takes place from 6 to 9:30 p.m. on Dec. 11. Early bird tickets to the walking and tasting tour are on sale until Nov. 12. Early bird tickets are $24.50 plus a fee and GST, advance tickets sold after Nov. 12 are $40 plus a fee and GST, and regular tickets are $50 plus a fee and GST. See burnabyheights. eventbrite.ca for tickets and information.

Old yoga mats can help the animals MOVERS & SHAKERS Janaya Fuller-Evans

ave a yoga mat kicking around that’s a little worse for wear? You can recycle those mats at MetroZen between Nov. 9 and 16. The mats will be donated to the B.C. SPCA. “Mats we collect will be donated to the B.C. SPCA where they will have a second life giving the rescued animals something more comfortable to lie on,” stated a press release from the studio. “There are a myriad of reasons why a good number of the animals cannot have a bed made of cosy blankets, so an old yoga/pilates mat is just the ticket.” Yogis and yoginis who drop off a mat can take a class at the studio for $10 plus GST and can enter a draw for a new yoga mat and bag. For those looking for new mats, MetroZen stocks two environmentally friendly brands – the PRO, which Manduka guarantees for life, and the eKO Lite, which is a biodegradable mat made from nonAmazon harvested natural tree rubber. The yoga studio is at 111-6125 Sussex Ave. Go to metrozen.net/about-you/ recycle-your-mat.

Paying our respects

oppies are on lapels as Remembrance Day ceremonies in Burnaby are around the corner.

The Edmonds Community Centre is hosting the first Remembrance Day service on Nov. 9.

Battleﬁeld poem lives on

he famous lines by Lt-Col. John McCrae, scrawled during the Battle of Ypres, have become enshrined in the innermost thoughts and hearts of all soldiers who hear them.

John McCrae was their voice. The poem circulated as a folk song, by word of mouth and all who hear it are deeply touched. The poem speaks of Flanders fields, but the subject is universal – the fear of the dead that they will be forgotten, that their death will have been in vain. Remembrance, as symbolized by the poppy, is our eternal answer which belies that fear. Sadly, McCrae died of pneumonia at Wimereux near Boulogne, France on January 28, 1918 when he was 44 years old. His words, however, are immortal.

IN FLANDERS FIELDS

In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. – Source: Royal Canadian Legion website, www.legion.ca

The Poppy is a symbol of remembrance

he poppy has stood as the official symbol of Canada’s Remembrance Day since 1921, a visual reminder of all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for war. Some may wonder why this small flower is used to represent the fallen soldier. Poppies and fallen soldiers have a long history together. The origins of the flower can be traced back to the Napoleonic wars in France. During these times of unrest and battle, many soldiers went on to final resting places in graves in Flanders, France. Ensuing literature describing how poppies grew so thickly and vibrantly over these graves – in soil that once could not produce much vegetation. Lt.-Col. John

McCrae observed how poppies grew so well among the makeshift graves of the soliders. When McCrae lost a fellow soldier and close

friend, he penned a poem called “In Flanders Fields” and portrayed the picture of war and the poppy flower visual.

Each month, the Burnaby NOW will publish a photo from the Burnaby Archives of days gone by alongside a similar recent photo of the city. These photos will provide a glimpse of what life was like in Burnaby’s early days, what has changed and what hasn’t. Keep an eye out next month for the next installment in the series. Good quality boots were essential to the comfort and even survival of soldiers in the Second World War, and Bill Price worked hard to make sure Canadian soldiers had the best.

Price was a shoe repairman by trade, according to his son, David Price.

Bill was a sticher operator at a large shoe repair shop at the corner of Main Street and Broadway in Vancouver and soon found his skill declared an essential service.

CANADA’S PREMIERE ONLINE GUIDE TO THE GOOD LIFE

The Cavalier Kind

May Globus

After being buzzed into the jewellery shop in the historic Dominion Building, it’s clear that Cavalier is in a league of its own. Not only is the space beautiful with its tall ceilings, brick and wood, Cavalier is also community-minded, exclusively carrying pieces from local independent designers. Whether more contemporary or traditional in look, high quality materials, precious gemstones and good design makes each work sold here timeless. Classic German-made NIRVEL wristwatches (from $500) run on Swiss mechanics, while the Contoli watches (from $750) are handcrafted just up the street. The ZULA Jewlery + Design leaf print medium necklace ($110) is for those with a penchant for the delicate and feminine, much in contrast to the bronze rock and roll signet-style LACAR skull ring ($146).

The team also works with clients to create customized pieces and has with an in-house goldsmith on hand. There’s something for everyone here — the problem is, we want it all. Cavalier, 217 - 207 W. Hastings., 1-800-808-4367, www.cavaliergastown.com

The New Family Heirlooms

May Globus

New in The Chinatown Experiment’s pop-up space, Izm’s moniker represents a movement focused on existence, essential nature and how one should live, a philosophy that seems inherently West Coast. Clean lines constructed from solid wood are the design foundation and, despite a contemporary minimalist aesthetic, there’s still a delightfully rustic air about the high-end handcrafted pieces, each meant to age and to be passed on between generations. What we wouldn’t give to have the Visualizm cabinet (from $4,650) and Eyeful coffee table ($2,950) accenting our living rooms — that, or the quirky air plant terrariums (from $50) by Gastown !orist Green Stems. By the looks of it, beautiful furniture is new family heirloom.

AND

WHEELS Deals Cutting through ad fluff with a real inspection FULL THROTTLE Courtney Hansen

After surfing the web for months, there it was: a clean-looking 1963 Chevrolet coupe. It was the first year for the Stingray, the only year for the “split” rear window, and although the car was red instead of its original “Sebring Silver,” magical phrases in the Ebay ad such as “restored within the last year,” “new paint,” and “perfect interior,” and 20 or so good photos had the Wheelbase Media gang convinced that the price was more than fair. Ebay and other online sources can be great places to find rare and unique vehicles that are just not available on local car lots … unless you’re sloppy with the transaction. This could be the subject of a book and some time spent in a courtroom over what was blatant misrepresentation by the seller of this particular vehicle. Certainly the experience provided some practical, real-world, expensive advice for anyone contemplating buying a vehicle that they have found somewhere online. Keep in mind that these sites are merely a conduit to the vehicles. The actual transaction is between you and the seller/buyer, which means you need your game face on at all times. In hindsight, it was easy to see what went wrong. At the time, however, all looked rosy. Cheerful correspondence from the seller, a supposedly reputable used-car dealer from the Bronx in New York with words of high praise from many other buyers, put the Wheelbase gang’s mind at ease, even as the money, $30,600 of it, was now in the hands of the seller. Rather than drive for a couple of days to show up with the cash and collect the car, it was decided to send the money and have the car shipped in an enclosed transport truck. That’s how confident everyone was about the ‘Vette’s condition.

Imagine the surprise of a car that barely ran (seller description: “beautiful running”), poured blue smoke from its burnedout engine, had plenty of interior tears, and upon closer inspection, had been hit, at one time or another, on three of its four corners (description: “Very straight and clean body”). Sloppy bodywork covered by cracked and faded paint that was at least 20 years old (description: “restored within the last year”). Weeds had grown through the wheel covers and the passenger side front floor pan was filled with water from an obvious leak (description: “always garaged throughout”). “You mean you didn’t go look at the car before bidding?” Wheelbase’s hired-gun body man, Mike, was quick to point out the obvious problem and the biggest mistake. Me, I wouldn’t normally drop $306 on a vehicle located on the same street without seeing it first, let alone $30,600 for one that’s more than 1,500 kilometres away. Absolutely nothing beats buying a local car that you can touch, hear and drive, so don’t let distance be an excuse for not picking over a prospective purchase up close. This, however, is actually trickier than it seems since the duration of an Ebay “auction”, in particular, is usually seven to 10 days. Often you’ll stumble over an auction that has just a day or two remaining, which, depending on the location of the vehicle, might be almost impossible to see in time to decide whether you want to bid at all. This, of course, assumes that after all that time and effort, you actually bid enough money to get the vehicle. So, what do you do? If you’re serious about getting your money’s worth, it’s better to be out the travel time and the airfare (if you have to fly) than risk a bad purchase. But is there any other option? The more reputable sellers will let you inspect the vehicle before handing over the money, even after the auction is over

and you’ve committed to buy. Although many sellers don’t state this up front in their payment terms, it’s obviously in your best interest to at least ask before bidding (and not after). If none of this is possible, the last resort is to have someone who lives

near the vehicle check it out and report back to you. Of course, it has to be someone with some knowledge about the year and model of vehicle, which might be difficult to find on short notice. For older cars, contact the appropriate local car

club and inquire about an inspection. Ahhhh, good common sense. But where was the common sense when it came to the Corvette? Lulled into a false sense of security by what was thought to be an accurate and honest description

(even with flowery prose dialed out), and no doubt caught up in the excitement of auction madness, if you’re going to trust a total stranger with your $30,600, you need to minimize, or entirely negate, the risk. Believe it or not, it Ads Page 24

Roundabouts improve city traffic congestion

Rhonda Wheeler contributor

You’re sitting at a red light that seems to last forever. It might only be 30 seconds, but the 50 cars in front of you have to first get rolling once the green flashes. You watch in utter agony as the procession chugs to life, each driver taking an extra second to react to the driver in front pulling away. It’s like watching a game of motorized dominos. Just as it’s your turn to make it through the intersection, the light turns red again. Funny thing is, however, this time there’s no other traffic. Now you’re just sitting there burning gasoline, time and patience for no real reason other than the fact the very expensive stoplight is completely oblivious – or indifferent – to the traffic situation. It’s frustrating and wasteful enough, made worse by the fact that it’s likely not the last time it’s going to happen to you in the next 10 minutes. Our cities were formed

well before the automobile, based on gridded streets. As cars came on stream, it likely made sense to erect traffic-control signs to curb the chaos of people on horses, riding bicycles, steering ox carts and driving cars all heading in different directions through the same intersections. A commute through downtown Los Angeles or in Manhattan (yes, I’ve done both) is enough to wear anyone’s patience thin for the simple fact that it might take you an hour or two to travel a very short distance. Congestion is everywhere. You can blame traffic-control systems and standard four-corner intersections for a lot of it, and for whatever reason, the fact that we all need to go to work and head home at exactly the same time as each other. You know that giant gap between the city and highway fueleconomy ratings of your vehicle? These two factors are why it exists. Most intersections with traffic lights are inefficient, yes, but four-way stops

– when no one else is at them but you – could very well be the most outdated and inefficient form of road control there is. At a typical four-corner road junction, stop signs are an absolute necessity, however, because many drivers are generally complacent by nature – and are poor judges of distance and speed – they routinely drive through unmarked intersections without even looking. You disagree? Look how many people run red lights – intersections with controls – every day, causing crashes. A recent trip to Italy brought to light just how efficient traveling in a circle can really be. The idea is simple. Instead of a four-corner intersection with traffic lights and stop signs, there’s a traffic loop you merge into. It’s fine and dandy that our cars are becoming more efficient – even electric – but there are big gains to be made in looking at all aspects of the drive, even if it means driving in circles.

Ads: Be cautious with online buys continued from page 21

actually could have been worse for us. How about no money and no car at all? It might seem unlikely, but the chance is there, from the moment the payment, in whatever form, gets to the other end. It takes a big leap of faith to believe a car will magically appear after that.

OUR DOBERMAN-CROSS IS STILL MISSING! Sassy left home on the evening of Thursday, August 15th apx. 7:30 PM in the area of Rumble and Nelson in South Burnaby.

Ebay as well as other websites are full of bargains and honest, reputable sellers, but when it comes to closing the deal, learn from these mistakes and use your head. See the vehicle (most sellers invite you to do so) in person, in advance, and exchange money for keys in person. It’s just good common sense.

Travel to Costa Rica and help the animals HERE & NOW

Jennifer Moreau

Burnaby non-profit is helping local animals by sending people on vacation to Costa Rica. Burnaby resident Kathy Powelson runs Paws for Hope, a Burnaby-based animal welfare group. Powelson teamed up with Holidays for Humanity, to offer people a vacation package to Costa Rica to help sea turtle conservation efforts.

Travellers volunteer to help sea turtles that have been injured and are recovering in a rehabilitation centre. Holidays for Humanity is selling the 10-day trip, from May 11 to 20, for $1,870, which includes airfare, accommodation, meals and a $100 donation to Paws for Hope. If Powelson has 20 people sign up for the trip, she can raise $2,000 to help animals in Burnaby. For more information, go to www.holidaysforhuman ity.com/paws-hope.

Pirate house

Burnaby resident Julie Desroches has raised $1,700 for a new roof

at the Saint Stephen’s Children Centre in Uganda. Desroches’ main fundraising draw was her Halloween piratethemed display at her South Burnaby home. Her display was featured in the NOW in early October, and on Halloween night, she raised $600 in donations and had more than 200 visitors. But Desroches is still short of her $2,500 fundraising goal, and she’s looking for more donations from the community. For more information on the display, go to www. piratehouse.ca. To donate to the project, go to www. gofundme.com/362aa4.

Festival of Lights

The Rotary Club of Burnaby-Deer Lake is hoping the local businesses will sponsor a Christmas tree for the Festival of Lights fundraiser at Brentwood Town Centre. The annual display of Christmas trees is on from Nov. 18 to Dec. 27. Local business owners can “sponsor” a tree in the display, and proceeds go to the local Rotary club for philanthropic projects.

The Rotarians run a Boots for Kids program, providing local children from low-income families with proper boots for the winter, and they also help out BASES, the community group behind the new thrift store on Kingsway that supports local schools. To sponsor a tree, or for more information, call Edward Cannell at 778899-3563.

For the record

Correction: In my last Here and Now col-

umn, I mentioned that ScandiaCare runs three Burnaby seniors’ homes (Dania, Swedish and Normanna). ScandiaCare only fundraises for the homes; it doesn’t run them. Apologies for the confusion.

The NOW published some incorrect information about the Burnaby Christmas Bureau registration hours. Registration times at the toy room at 7252 Kingsway are Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Also, former Burnaby MP Svend Robinson was not arrested at Clayoquot Sound, as reported on Nov. 6. He attended the blockade on the first day, and arrests weren’t made until the second day, but he was later charged for appearing on the first day. Also, he came out as gay in 1988, not 1998.

HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities. Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently. Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own. Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in. Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for

easier access, easy-to-reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors or faucets, walk-in showers, and bathtub grab bars and seats. Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis. If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help. For more information about the eligibility requirements or to obtain an application guide and form, visit www.bchousing.org/HAFI.

North and Moscrop VB champs Tom Berridge

Burnaby North and Moscrop stood up to the challenge. The senior boys’ and girls’ regular season champions both swept their way to a BNW banner, winning their respective No. 1 seeding into next week’s Lower Mainland qualifying volleyball tournaments. The North Vikings played a relatively mistake-free match in the banner final, taking league runner-up Burnaby South Rebels in straight sets 25-12, 25-21, 25-17 at North on Wednesday. “Today everything clicked together on offence and defence. We just played really great overall,” said North captain and league all-star Brian Shim. Shim, fellow all-star Caleb Tam, Jasper Quan and Devon Jones provided much of the firepower at the net for North, which flirted with a top-10 provincial ranking earlier in the high school season. In the final, Jones broke open a tie game early in the first set with a long service to put the Vikings well in charge. Tied 12-12 in the second set, Tam had a similar strong string of winning serves that put North into the lead for good despite a late South rally. North had control of the final set. Both North and South qualified for the Mainlands. South’s Josh Lovendino and power hitter Stanley Su were also named district all-stars after the match. Moscrop, a marathon five-set winner over Burnaby Mountain in the consolation final, took on Gladstone on Thursday (after NOW deadlines) for a wild card seed into the provincial qualifying tournament. The match for the third district seed was a thriller from the opening set.

Heavy hitter: Burnaby South’s Glen Zheng blasts a kill into a Moscrop wall during the semifinals at the BNW high school boys’ volleyball championships at North on Monday.

Moscrop won the first set in extra ends 29-27, but Mountain broke right back, winning the second set 26-24 in a game where no more than two points separated both teams throughout. The two well-matched school teams then traded the third and fourth sets by similar 25-23 scores, with Moscrop taking the first game and Mountain forcing a fifth and final tiebreak. Moscrop won the tiebreaker 15-5 to remain in the hunt for a spot in the Mainlands.

Kevin Giang of Moscrop and Eric Cheng of Mountain were also named to the all-district all-star team. North’s main competition at the Lower Mainlands will likely come from No. 3- ranked Steveston-London. “I’d say we have a pretty good chance of even first,” said Shim. “We play pretty decent volleyball.” The Mainlands will finish up at David Thompson on Nov. 14 and

SFU keeper earns GNAC player of the week honour Simon Fraser University goalkeeper Brandon Watson was named the Red Lion defensive player of the week in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference on Monday. Watson posted a pair of shutouts in back-to-back 1-0 victories over the Saint Martin’s Saints on Thursday and the second-place Seattle Pacific Falcons on Saturday. Watson backstopped a double overtime victory in Saturday’s match that clinched the Clan’s fourth straight conference championship title. The freshman goalkeeper made three saves in each game to record the shutouts. In 13 games this season, Watson is second in the Great Northwest conference in goals against average, third in save percentage and third in shutouts. Jovan Blagojevic, who scored the overtime game-winning goal against Seattle Pacific, also received an honourable mention for the offensive player of the week award. The Clan will wrap up their regular season schedule on Saturday when they travel to Bellingham for the second instalment of this season’s Border Battle against the Western Washington Vikings. The Clan won the first meeting between the two teams, 2-0 at Terry Fox Field in October.

Defenceman Ty Schultz of New Westminster scored a pair of game-winning goals for the Northwest Giants in a sweep of its weekend series against the Northeast Chiefs. The Burnaby Winter Club product got the winner with less than two minutes left in Sunday’s 3-2 win over the Chiefs in a B.C. major midget hockey league game at Coquitlam’s Planet Ice on Sunday. On Saturday, the firstround draft pick of the Western Hockey League Medicine Hat Tigers opened the second period with an unassisted first marker of the year that stood up as the game-winner following a 5-2 win at home over the Chiefs. Playing with just 15 skaters on Sunday, the Giants got big goals from support players to post the team’s 10th victory this season. Keegan Jones opened the scoring in the first period with his third counter of the year. Trailing 2-1 in the third period, first-year forward Ryland Chernomaz scored his first goal as a Giant to knot the contest midway through the final frame. A day earlier, the Giants dumped the visiting Chiefs at the Burnaby Winter Club. Defenceman Mitch Stapely got things started in the first period, counting his first goal of the year in a two-point effort at home. Quinn Thompson scored his 10th goal, and Colton Kerfoot added a team-best 12th goal of the year, while Owen Stout also scored to give the Giants a 5-1 lead before the Chiefs answered back late in the third period. The back-to-back wins kept the Giants in a firstplace tie with the Okanagan Rockets atop the 11-team loop, both with identical 10-1-1 records. Kerfoot led all scorers on Saturday with a threepoint effort. He is currently tied for third in league scoring with 24 total points.

Big night in town for South grad

Simon Fraser club remains unbeaten Two third-period goals stood up as game-winners for the first-place Simon Fraser University hockey club last Saturday. The Clan club improved its B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League record to 50-0 following a 3-2 win over the University of Victoria at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre. The victory was the Clan’s third straight win over the Vikes so far this season. First star Nick Sandor notched the game-winning goal from Graham Smerek and Jesse Williamson

midway through the final frame. Just minutes into the third period, Smerek gave SFU a 2-1 lead from second star Jono Ceci and Jared Eng. Jesse Mysiorek opened the scoring for the Clan. Andrew Parent got credit for the win, stopping just 11 shots in the SFU net. Despite the perfect record, SFU remained in a tie atop the six-team loop with Selkirk College and Trinity Western University, all with 10 points. tberridge@burnabynow. com

Burnaby South Secondary grad Adam Helewka posted a career night for the Spokane Chiefs of the Western Hockey League last week. The second-year major junior forward scored four goals and assisted on a fifth in the Chiefs’ 6-4 win over the Vancouver Giants at the Pacific Coliseum on Nov. 2. Helewka tallied three times in the third period, including his hat-trick goal and seventh of the season that stood up as the game-winner. He garnered the game’s first star in the win. The 6-1, 190-pound left winger was named the Chiefs’ rookie of the year last season, when he recorded 10 goals and 27 points and was a plus-five. Helewka currently has eight goals and 11 points and is fifth in overall team scoring despite playing in just eight games for Spokane so far this season.

Cariboo and Central get second chance at berths Tom Berridge

sports editor

Cariboo Hill and Burnaby Central secondary school soccer teams will have to make the best of a second chance opportunity to qualify for the provincials. The Cariboo Hill Chargers went down 2-0 early in the second half to North Shore champion Sentinel in the B.C. high school boys’ AA zone qualifying match at Cariboo Oval on Tuesday.

Cariboo captain Kirk Menezes scored a goal off a long free kick midway through the second half that sailed over the keeper to shave the deficit in half. With the Chargers pushing up for the equalizer, Sentinel scored a third goal late in the contest. A day later, the Chargers found out the team would have a second chance to qualify for the AA provincials, which will be played at Burnaby Lake Sports ComplexWest from Nov. 18 to 20.

The Chargers played Thursday (after NOW deadlines) for the second zone berth. “We didn’t know we’d have a second chance,” said Menezes. On the North Shore, Central lost 2-1 to Sutherland in the boys’ AAA zone qualifier. Vuk Erbez tapped in the game’s first goal off an initial strike at goal by Parker Ellis that gave the Wildcats a 1-0 lead at the interval. But Sutherland scored two unanswered goals in the second

half, including the game-winner with just 10 minutes left in the contest to earn the No. 1 zone berth into the provincials. “We missed our chance. We have to take a detour to the provincials,” said Central coach Anto Steko. In the other qualifying match, Moscrop was eliminated after losing to Handsworth by a 1-0 score. Central also played Thursday (after NOW deadlines).

U-16 HOCKEY

B.C. denied a second sip at Challenge Cup B.C.’s under-16 hockey team failed to win a second straight gold medal at the Western Challenge Cup in Calgary on Sunday. Alberta bettered B.C., which included Northwest Giants defenceman Dante Fabbro and forwards Tak Anholt, Quinn Benjafield and Keyvan Mokhtari of Burnaby, 4-2 in the championship final. It was the second time in the tournament that Alberta got the better of the West Coast reps. The Alberta rep team also defeated B.C. 3-2 in overtime in earlier round-robin play. Fabbro scored his first goal of the competition, including the game-tying goal that sent the game to

extra time. Fabbro also assisted on three other B.C. goals, helping out with a set up in B.C.’s 5-4 win over Saskatchewan in the opener. Last season’s minor hockey player of the year also assisted on a pair of B.C. goals in B.C.’s 3-2 overtime win over Manitoba, including the OT winner, on Day 2 of the competition. Mokhtari also scored a goal for B.C. in the win over Saskatchewan. Brody Wilms of Coquitlam stopped 36 of 40 shots on goal for B.C. in the gold-medal final.
