Too close encounters I

t was just another late night getting home from school. Alexa Dredge stepped off the bus with her boyfriend after a long day of studying at Simon Fraser University – but they were not alone.

When they shut the door behind them, the man who had followed them from the stop used his body to try smash in their front ON MY BEAT and Stefania Seccia door, hurled aggressive obscenities at them and circled their building until finally the police they called had arrived.

This is only one of many close calls related to being on transit that Dredge has experienced, which is what led her and fellow SFU classmate Katie Nordgren to start Harassment on Translink, a blog dedicated to posting stories from those who have similar, or worse, experiences on transit.

“The idea for the project, it’s been rattling around for a really long time in our minds, I think,” Nordgren told the Burnaby NOW inside SFU’s gender, sexuality and women’s studies department, which she and Dredge are majoring in, at the Burnaby campus. “Just the experience of riding transit, constantly … builds up a backlog of these little experiences and the bigger ones that all go together and

change the way (we) approach the transit system.”

The two students came together and started the blog on Oct. 20 for a women’s studies project to get the ball rolling – expecting a small reaction from friends on social media. However, the blog quickly fell into the media’s hands and in its first

week about 10 media outlets interviewed Nordgren and Dredge to talk about harassment on transit lines and what can be done about it. The media flurry led to a snowball in story submissions from both women and men alike.

“We wanted a pretty broad reach and we figured it would take awhile to get the

message out, and we wanted to get somewhere between 50 and 100 responses, and we thought it would take a couple of months to get there,” Nordgren said, noting by the blog’s third day on the web it had caught the public eye. “Just the short distance from inception, to let’s just see what

City investigating spill in salmon spawning creek Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Shortly after salmon were spotted spawning in Burnaby’s Still Creek, a local resident is raising concerns about dumping waste down drainpipes.

On Saturday, Burnaby resident Bruce Causier filmed a substance that appeared to be white paint, flowing from a storm

drain, into Still Creek near Skeena Street and Cornett Road, on the Vancouver side of Boundary Road.

“To me it looked like it was white paint, and there (were) a couple of workers around there, and one of the guys said, ‘Oh this is an ongoing thing,’” he told the NOW. “The thing is it goes right into the Burnaby side.”

Still Creek runs from East Vancouver

to Burnaby Lake and was once one of the most polluted waterways in the Lower Mainland. The creek has made a comeback in recent years, and salmon have returned to spawn both this fall and last, after decades of absence.

But, as Causier’s video shows, the fish were swimming in the midst of the white substance in question. Causier suspects a nearby company that deals with paint

products may be the source, but he wasn’t sure.

Causier reported the incident to the B.C. Ministry of Environment, and staff went to investigate, but they could not find the source.

According to the federal Fisheries Act, it’s illegal to dump a deleterious substance Spill Page 8

Incinerator budget could rise by $3 million Stefania Seccia staff reporter

More electronic devices finding their way to the garbage heap may cost Metro Vancouver’s budget for the Burnaby incinerator an extra $3 million.

Electronic devices have rechargeable batteries, which produce a toxic chemical (cadmium) increasingly found in testing samples.

Cadmium is a toxic metal linked to cancer, respiratory problems and kidney failure.

The domino effect of an increase in cadmium levels found in fly – airborne – ash samples a year ago has led to several factors driving up the proposed 2013/14 Metro Vancouver budget for the incinerator, according to Paul Henderson, solid waste general manager.

“What we have seen over time is that there are more and more electronics and other devices that have rechargeable batteries in them, and people need to know those types of products shouldn’t be thrown in the garbage,” he told the Burnaby NOW in a phone interview. “It should be recycled.”

These electronic devices and their batteries are what

Henderson says has led to an increase in cadmium levels found in the bottom ash and fly ash samples produced as a side effect by the incinerator.

The incinerator burns about 285,000 tons of garbage to produce electricity every year, and, in doing so, it also produces two types of ashes. About 12,000 tons per year of ash in the air stream out of the combustion process. About 50,000 tons of bottom ash – found in the ground – is the material that is not combustible and is found every year, as well.

More than a year ago, a wave of fly ash samples didn’t pass leachability testing. Due to the toxic issue, the fly ash was no longer shipped to the Cache Creek landfill but has since been sent to an industrial landfill in Alberta, which comes at a higher cost.

“We’ve done a number of things,” Henderson said.

“We’ve been investigating a lot of detail since.”

He noted that each load of material is tested before it leaves the facility, as opposed to the former practice of doing the same testing once a month.

Metro Vancouver’s position is that the contracted out lab that tests its samples made a mistake dur-

Inquest underway in shooting death Cayley Dobie staff reporter

On May 27, 2012, Angus Mitchell walked into the Royal Oak Sushi House in Burnaby and allegedly shot and killed Huong “Andy” Tran and Chinh “Vivian” Diem Huynh. Two days later he allegedly shot and wounded his former landlord.

RCMP shot Mitchell on May 30 in Maple Ridge. He later died in hospital.

Mitchell’s death is now the subject of a B.C. Coroners Service inquest taking place at coroner’s court in Burnaby this week.

The inquest began Nov. 12 and is expected to run until Nov. 15 (Friday). Members of the jury and coroner Liana Wright will hear from subpoenaed witnesses in order to determine what happened leading up to the shooting death of Mitchell.

In June, the Vancouver Police Department completed their review of Mitchell’s shooting death at the hands of the RCMP and concluded there was no evidence to support charges against the officers involved.

Vancouver Const. Brian Montague told the NOW the Vancouver Police Department found no evidence to indicate officers had “acted inappropriately or did any wrongdoing.”

ing the process, which led to the “anomalous results,” according to Henderson.

“An independent lab does the sampling and the analytical work, which determines the sample’s characteristics,” he added.

“Metro Vancouver’s position is that there was an error at the laboratory, and many parties are involved in these discussions and not all parties have the same perspective of what happened.”

The Ministry of Environment is investigating the issue, gathering information from all the parties involved and will come to a conclusion on what happened with the samples, Henderson added.

As the Burnaby NOW previously reported, over the last year 19 out of 479 (about four per cent) bottom ash samples not only failed toxicity testing but, in some cases, exceeded more than twice of the regulatory limit.

can’t be bothered to take it to the recycling station. One careless, lazy act can wipe out years of salmon life and years of environmental stewardship.

And, aside from the damage done to nature, there is the monetary impact.

Investigators are called out, chemists must analyze the substance, and, if possible, track down the perpetrator. And then, if possible – and it rarely is – a case must be made to charge the person or

persons responsible. One spill can cost taxpayers thousands of dollars even if no one is ever found responsible.

We’re all for educating folks about why they shouldn’t dump stuff down drains, but surely everyone knows this by now. It’s time that very large rewards are given to those who can finger the culprits responsible for dumping stuff.

We’re thinking a large enough price on a polluter’s head might just do the trick.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ALC treatment cause for concern Dear Editor:

It’s an election year, and the B.C. Liberals are trailing in the polls. They look like they’re finally going to be beaten in an election.

Our brave media asks if the Liberals will enact a particularly polarizing policy if elected, and the premier responds that the policy isn’t being considered in any way, shape or form.

Less than a year later, the policy is enacted, much to the shock of the province. No, this is not 2009 and the HST. This is happening right now, and the topic this time is the Agricultural Land Commission, which is slated to become part of the provincial government

instead of being an independent commission.

According to Minister Bill Bennett, the ALC has been too rigid in its mandate of protecting agricultural land.

I’m certainly not an expert in how public agencies should act in the pursuit of their mandate, but I have never once heard of an organization that was criticized for being too rigid in its duties. Instead we’re told that we should trust the Oil and Gas Commission to handle land use decisions. That should end well.

Once again, this government has decided to hide its agenda from the voters, knowing full well they wouldn’t win an election if they told the truth about their plans for this province.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Gov’t lacks ‘moral authority’ continued from page 6

That the government continues to lie and contradict itself simply proves that it lacks the moral authority to continue in government. Perhaps next election we won’t allow ourselves to be fooled a third time.

Homelessness a real fear Dear Editor:

Re: The many faces of homelessness, Burnaby NOW, Oct. 11 As a longtime non-market-rate apartment renter, I fear one day losing my own residence through eviction by reason of renovation (a.k.a. “renoviction”), a means by which large real-estate owners can become considerably wealthier by replac-

ing non-market-rate rental units with bigbucks condos.

The renoviction epicentre, the West End of Vancouver within the core of Vancouver proper, got well underway about a decade ago; it’s been slowly creeping outward since.

Where can a renter there possibly go to afford non-market-rate rental shelter, except into the outlying areas, the suburbs, until they’re eventually driven to the (for the most part) still-barely-affordable Metro Vancouver outskirts – or even beyond, including Abbotsford and Mission, etc.

– territory which will not guarantee indefinite respite from the spread of the renoviction virus. And with the renoviction infection spreading outwards from its ground zero, “non-profit” coupled with “supportive housing” are as crucial as ever for the shelter-survival of the poorest folk.

Trades: Training offers options continued from page 6

the skills and knowledge required for them to pursue their future goals.

For example, we had a female student who took carpentry as she aspired to be an architect and recognized that it would be useful to know how to build things from the ground up.

Some other students are choosing carpentry or construction electrician because their goal is to become a firefighter or an engineer.

The message that we would like to share with parents is students who

participate in industry training programs have a wide range of career options available to them in their future, including increased certification, post-secondary diploma and/or degree programs, project or company management positions, business ownership, a different or new career in related fields, etc.

These programs offer training that is unique and provides students with the opportunity to build and refine highly marketable transferable skills. All programs lead to post-secondary.

Parents, I encourage

you to check out the trades and certification programs that are offered in our high schools today – so your child is poised to achieve career success.

You will find the information on our district website under programs at www.sd41.bc.ca or speak to a career program advisor at your child’s school.

The demand continues to increase for skilled trades workers – in B.C. – and beyond. The world is their oyster, and it would all begin in high school in Burnaby.

Donna Scott is the district principal for the Burnaby School District.

Some even carry their holidays over from the previous year and have it paid out. The whole point to this is there are not enough ambulances in service at the present moment.

Mystery substance: A screen grab from Bruce Causier’s video shows a milky white substance flowing from a storm drain into Still Creek, directly into the path of spawning salmon. A salmon is seen swimming at the right-hand side of the image.

Spill: ‘What kind of chance do the eggs have?’ continued from page 1

in water frequented by fish or in a place that leads to water frequented by fish.

“The things that gets me is the salmon were spawning right there,” Causier said.

“What kind of chance do the eggs have?”

City of Vancouver staff are investigating the spill, but they haven’t determined a source.

“We have sewer and water bylaws that have provisions for appropriate and not appropriate substances that can go into these pipes, which include fines and penalties for non-compliance,” said Viviana Zanocco, media relations coordinator for the City of Vancouver.

Causier is not the only one to document spills in Still Creek. On Sept. 13, Vancouver resident Duncan Creamer took several photos of the creek full of a similar white substance

at 22nd and Renfrew streets, upstream from where Causier shot his video. Duncan said he wasn’t sure what the substance was and did not notice any unusual odours.

The most recent spill led Burnaby-Douglas MP Kennedy Stewart to write a letter to Environment Canada, urging the federal body to prioritize investigating the source of the spill.

In his letter, Stewart pointed out that community groups, such as the Outdoor Recreation Council of B.C., have spent 40 years working to restore Still Creek.

“The ongoing stewardship of Still Creek has been a labour of love for the community, and the return of salmon is celebrated by many,” he wrote.

Hookah lounge Police investigate indecent act can continue to operate Cayley Dobie staff reporter

Stefania Seccia

staff reporter

Burnaby’s Hafez Tea House can breathe a flavoured sigh of relief since the city decided to repeal its smoking bylaw.

City council’s decision followed an Oct. 21 presentation from Honeyeh Adibi-Larijani asking the city to fix its smoking bylaw so her family business, Hafez Tea House, could continue to operate.

The local hookah lounge recently moved to a new location on Hastings Street and has a new business licence pending. It has been in business for 12 years.

The Fraser Health Authority was not letting it continue to operate unless it met Burnaby’s smoking bylaw, which required a separate smoking room.

“We no longer have to build that second room,” AdibiLarijani told the Burnaby NOW. “It was pretty exciting; we’re relieved.”

Despite having to read the report several times to understand what the implications would be for her business, Adibi-Larijani said it was “good news.” The tea house can continue to operate as it awaits its business licence application.

According to the report, when staff reviewed the city’s smoking bylaw, they determined aspects of it were redundant or outdated with current provincial smoking regulations. The smoking bylaw has not changed much since it was adopted in 1997.

Now, the Fraser Health Authority will be the only one to regulate smoking in Burnaby.

The city will continue to regulate the business with other applicable bylaws such as building permits, licensing and parking. For more information on the city’s smoking bylaw, visit www.burnaby.ca.

In these cases, police aren’t sure what the man was doing on the patios, but in one incident the man did knock on the sliding door – the resident didn’t answer and subsequently called police.

“We are looking at that because that was, obviously, an incident where individuals were on balconies in a similar area, so it is something that we’re going to look at, but we can’t say at this time that they’re related,” Dunlop told the NOW. Anyone with information is asked to call the Burnaby RCMP at 604-2947922 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

Two women had quite the fright last Thursday evening when a man entered their ground floor apartment and began touching himself.

At about 9:30 p.m. on Nov. 7, an unknown man entered an apartment in the 6100-block of Willingdon Avenue through an unlocked sliding door. Once inside, the man allegedly put his hand down his pants and began touching himself, according to a Burnaby RCMP media release.

Two women were home at the time, but he didn’t approach or harm them, and he left shortly after he entered, the release added.

Burnaby Mounties are now asking for the public’s help in identifying the man. He is described as Caucasian, about six feet tall with short black hair and a black goatee.

At the time of the incident he was wearing a black sweatshirt with a fur-lined hood and grey sweatpants.

“Police have increased patrols in the area and are working diligently to identify this male,” said Cpl. LeaAnne Dunlop. “The public is asked to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity to police right away.”

This is not the first time an incident like this has happened in Burnaby.

On Nov. 1 and 2, the RCMP received three separate reports of a man lurking outside ground floor apartments

Teacher disciplined for using inappropriate force Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

The B.C. Teacher Regulation Branch has disciplined a former Burnaby teacher for using inappropriate force on students and failing to follow school procedures.

According to a consent resolution agreement released by the branch on Oct. 17, Inman Elementary teacher Fiona Elizabeth Walsh, who still holds a teaching certificate, “forcibly moved” a kindergarten student across a carpeted area which resulted in “bruising and abrasions” consistent with rug burn.

Walsh also put a student in a chair by herself, after the girl became upset during a presen-

tation of the poem In Flander’s Fields during a Remembrance Day assembly. In another example, Walsh was cited for not following school procedures, when she dismissed her students for the day during an unexpected fire drill.

Walsh also started lunch at 11:30 a.m. for her class, even though the rest of the school’s break was at noon, and she continued to do so, even after the principal told her not to.

According to the branch, Walsh had “unreasonable” and “unnecessary” rules for lunch: chairs had to be pushed in so close that students’ chests touched the table, and the kids had to eat the “main” part of their lunch before they were allowed to eat other items, like fruit and vegetables.

“As a result, some students felt coerced into eating more food than they wished,” the agreement stated.

But the unreasonable and unnecessary instructions weren’t limited to students. According to the branch, Walsh also told parents what they could and couldn’t feed their kids while at school.

Walsh instructed parents to pack a “main” dish, either a sandwich or leftovers, and they were not to include cookies or other items. Walsh even sent a note, attached to a yogurt drink container, home to one parent.

The note read: “This container is garbage. We don’t bring them to school.”

Walsh also insisted that stu-

dents going home at the end of the day had to be wearing all their items of clothing and were not allowed to carry anything while leaving the classroom, and students were sometimes dismissed late in order to comply with her rule.

Two parents asked that their kids be removed from Walsh’s class because of “her insensitive and inappropriate interactions,” according to the branch.

On Apr. 24, 2012, the Burnaby school district suspended Walsh without pay for 10 days and then placed her on-call but didn’t assign her to any post.

The district then transferred her to another elementary school for the 2012/13 year, and recommended she teach Grade 2 or

higher. According to the district’s communications manager Jodie Wilson, Walsh is no longer teaching in the Burnaby school district as she retired in June 2013.

The B.C. Education Ministry’s Teacher Regulation Branch, which replaced the self-regulating B.C. College of Teachers, is the provincial body that handles teacher certification and discipline for misconduct.

The branch offers consent resolution agreements, where teachers can agree in writing to the facts of their case and avoid facing a hearing. In Walsh’s case, she agreed to the facts outlined in the agreement.

The agreements are regularly posted online at www.bcteacher regulation.ca.

Blog: ‘Being creepy isn’t a crime’ continued from page 1

happens, we can’t even keep up with the amount of submissions coming in. We thought maybe we’d put up three a day for two months, but at this point we’re putting up 20 a day now.”

Dredge said many of the stories posted aren’t always recent, but something that happened 10 years ago – and still weighs on the minds of the victims today.

“One thing I’m really pleased with, as well, because we’ve had our story covered in the media, instead of just inside our social circles in Facebook … we’ve been able to reach each demographic that otherwise we might not have been able to reach, which has been really good because we’ve been getting some stories from older women that we might not have been able to,” she added.

The posts are unedited and left raw, and are then coded by the duo, who will analyze the stories down the road. The stories range from violent attacks, to an invasion of privacy, gay bashing, molestation, being engaged in a conversation that makes the person uncomfortable, to having headphones pulled out of a woman’s ears so the man can get her attention.

“For the most part, we don’t even edit for spelling,” Nordgren said. “Bam, we put it up, and we’re trying to do the best we can.”

However, since the blog hit the limelight, Nordgren and Dredge said they were surprised to receive emails reacting negatively to the blog – saying that asking for non-criminal harassment to end is asking too much.

“One thing that resonated with me is there was a comment where someone said, ‘Well, being creepy isn’t a crime’; ‘these women are being oversensitive,” Dredge said. “And I was like, oh my goodness, point completely missed.”

The pair agreed that while it’s not a crime to be creepy, disrespecting someone’s privacy is not OK even if it’s not a criminal offence.

“That’s the one thing we’re trying to point out,” Dredge added. “It doesn’t have to be criminalized. Somebody hits you. This is assault. Obviously something I can file. I can report. But in cases where it’s just being creepy, people don’t take it seriously – and that’s what we’re trying to

illuminate. This should not be considered an OK and predictable facet of daily life in public places.”

Had the SFU duo waited a month, it would have better coincided with what the Transit Police were about to roll out, according to its spokesperson Anne Drennan.

“We welcome the blog,” she said. “It’s excellent. It’s raised awareness so quickly, so thoroughly because that’s what we want to do, is have people talk about this.

It’s the elephant in the room that nobody talks about, but most people know it happens.”

Transit Police were already planning to initiate a campaign to raise awareness on this issue in early December. First, it’ll start at English language schools, colleges and universities throughout the Metro Vancouver region, Drennan said. Then in early 2014, Transit Police will release a free smart device application for immediate reporting with information and even photographs of incidents for real-time tracking.

“This will allow people to report information to us in real time, from buses and trains,” she added. “We think this will be very beneficial because we’ll be able to notify members immediately – wherever these people say they’re heading.”

When the app is released next spring it will coincide with a system-wide sexual assault awareness campaign, which will be directed towards victims, witnesses, suspects and potential suspects through posters and videos.

As for the SFU students, Drennan said she looks forward to working with them in the future.

“I’m surprised at how quickly it’s caught on and how much attention it’s gotten, sure,” Drennan told the NOW. “But I’m not surprised there’s so many stories out there, though. We know a lot of people affected by this. We know it happens way too often.”

In the meantime, Transit Police hope the blog and campaign will lead to a safer environment aboard TransLink.

“We want to know about every incident so we can follow it up, and hopefully get as many of these suspects off the trains,” she said. “We want them to know we’re out there.” sseccia@burnabynow.com

Pennies add up to $539 Stefania Seccia staff reporter

Burnaby civic offices have collected $539 in pennies since the denomination’s discontinuation, and the money will be donated to United Way. Collection of the pennies concluded at the end of July as there was a huge decrease in penny dropoffs, according to a city staff report.

Council approved the collection of pennies for donation in February

through its Coins for a Cause program in support of the annual United Way campaign.

Election officer appointed for 2014 vote

Nov. 15, 2014 is the next local government election, and Burnaby council has appointed its chief election officer.

Lynne Axford, an administrative officer in the city clerk’s depart-

ment, served as deputy chief election officer for the 2011 election and election supervisor in 2008 and will be the new chief election officer in 2014.

According to the Local Government Act of B.C., council is required to appoint a chief election officer and deputy chief election officer. The deputy officer’s appointment will be recommended at a later date.

South ’hood house expanding north

A

major community organization is expanding into North Burnaby.

On Tuesday, the South Burnaby Neighbourhood House announced an expansion plan that includes changing the house’s logo, dropping “south” from the name, and opening a second location in North Burnaby.

“We’re pretty excited about it,” said Antonia Beck, executive director at the non-profit community group. “It was just time. The neighbourhood house has been growing and evolving and addressing needs, and it hasn’t been just in South Burnaby.”

The second location will be at 4463 Hastings St., in Burnaby’s Heights ON MY BEAT Jennifer Moreau Neighbourhood, and it’s scheduled to open in January.

“It will be a storefront, where you can drop in, meet your neighbour and get connected to community resources,” Beck said. “We’re not going to duplicate what other people are doing.

We’re going to work with other people offering support in the Heights.”

The South Burnaby Neighbourhood House, which has been around for roughly 14 years, runs a broad variety of programs: helping seniors, teaching youth leadership skills, and running licensed daycares, for example.

The overarching goal is to build community, Jason Lang/burnaby now by getting neighbours to meet one another, and create a welcoming city for new residents.

Let the warm feelings flow – donate a blanket MOVERS & SHAKERS Janaya Fuller-Evans

L

ocal real estate agents are once again collecting blankets and warm clothing for the homeless.

The annual Realtors Care Blanket Drive takes place from Nov. 18 to 25, according to a press release from the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver.

“What our blanket drive does is provide the first line of defense for our most vulnerable citizens living outside,” Louise Boutin, a Vancouver Realtor and volunteer, said in the release. “Many of our recipient charities distribute what we collect right on the streets and regularly see repeat clients com-

Check

ing back for a change of clothes or a sleeping bag to protect them from the rain, cold and concrete.”

Real estate agents plan to collect and deliver enough blankets and warm clothing to help 20,000 people, the release stated.

“What we’re looking for most is gently used blankets, coats, gloves, hats, jeans, hoodies and new underwear and socks for both men and women; and whenever possible, smaller waist sizes,” Kellee Romaine a Chilliwack drive volunteer, said in the release.

There will be donation bags at more than 100 real estate locations in all – four of those locations are in Burnaby: Coldwell Banker-Love Realty at 5489 Kingsway, RE/MAX Central at 3906 Hastings St., RE/MAX Central at 1-5050 Kingsway and Sutton Centre Realty at 105-3790 Canada Way. Last year, the blanket drive collected enough donations to

help more than 19,000 people in the Lower Mainland.

City salon collecting food for Sally Ann While most people’s minds haven’t turned to Christmas yet, the Salvation Army is already preparing to help people through the holidays – and a Burnaby business is helping out, too.

From Nov. 22 to Dec. 20, Salon M2 in Parkcrest Plaza is collecting cans of food for the Salvation Army, according to a press release from the business.

Customers can earn a salon dollar, up to $10, for each can they bring in. These can be used on any of the salon services, according to the release.

A report released last year about the Salvation Army’s food services program stated more people are turning to the programs for assistance.

However, nearly a third of

Salvation Army food programs have seen a decrease in donations in the last 12 months, according to the release.

“With donations down and client demand up, we hope that the people of Burnaby will respond with the generosity and empathy we have come to rely on by volunteering with or donating to the Salvation Army” said Captain Glynden Cross, the supervisor for the Metrotown unit.

Food hampers are available to low-income families with children under 19, living in Vancouver and Burnaby. Eligible families are able to receive this service during an emergency or once every 90 days up to three times per year. Hampers usually include: soup, beans, peanut butter, tuna, vegetables, fruit, macaroni, rice, instant noodles, bread, cheese and margarine (quantities depend on family size).

Parkcrest Plaza is located at 5901 East Broadway, Burnaby.

Mitsubishi hosts Variety fundraiser

Susan Oliver, a Burnaby resident, wants to give back to the organization that helped her after an ATV accident two years ago.

To that end, Oliver recently organized a fundraiser for Variety – the Children’s Charity with the help of Metrotown Mitsubishi’s general manager Ricardo Rojas.

The pair raised $151 for the 2013 Kids Coin Drive for Variety with a barbecue at the dealership, according to an email from the charity.

Rojas provided the food and drink for the fundraiser.

“Susan and our other coin kid champions around B.C. are inspiring a spirit of support and philanthropy,” Bernice Scholten, Variety’s executive director, said in a press release. “The coin drive campaign is an example of the power of families helping families.”

New look for Brentwood Janaya Fuller-Evans

staff reporter

Look, up in the sky! It’s a bird. It’s a plane. No, it’s the new Brentwood Town Centre.

The North Burnaby mall is undergoing a complete redevelopment and Shape Properties, which owns the centre, has dubbed it “The Amazing Brentwood.”

Shape Properties announced plans for the first phase of redevelopment in a recent press release. The rezoning application for the first phase goes to public hearing at city hall on Nov. 26.

The first phase is planned for the front 10 acres of the property and would connect to the Brentwood Town Centre SkyTrain station at Willingdon Avenue and Lougheed Highway, according to the release.

Preliminary work has already begun on the site, in advance of the groundbreaking, according to Darren Kwiatkowski, executive vice-president of development for Shape Properties.

“There’s a number of site services that

need to be relocated before we can dig the hole,” he said in a phone interview Wednesday, adding the bus loop will be moved as part of the master plan for the site.

The plan for the first phase includes turning the mall’s huge parking lot in front of the SkyTrain entrance into a central plaza. It also includes two residential highrises, more than 350 shops and services, a high street and a public plaza.

Shape plans to start selling residential units next spring, according to the press release. Rennie Marketing Systems, a real estate sales and marketing firm, is in charge of the marketing.

There will be separate public hearings for the two highrises early next year, but Kwiatkowski said Shape is fairly confident the process will go smoothly, as the master plan has already been approved and the plans for the highrises match what was in the master plan. Shape expects the first phase to be completed by the end of 2017.

“Lilly” was left behind when her owner moved out of the country. Ideally, it’s our hopes to get her in to a foster home where she can be given the opportunity to bring out her true personality. She is very gentle and would do best in a home on the quieter side with adults only.

If you have a home in need of some feline love, please give this adorable young lady her second chance.

KAWASAKI ID 311412 7Yr 7Mth 4Wk old, Neutered Male , Husky, Mixed Breed, Greyhound.

“Charlie” is a handsome, high energy pooch looking for his perfect match! Ideally his new guardian should have a lot of time for exercise and plenty of time for mental stimulation (ie: agility, doggy sports would be great). Charlie would benefit strongly from formal training to help him bond with his new owner and learn to walk nicely on leash! He needs an owner with a flexible schedule/retired person as adjusting to being alone will take some time. He has some experience in the crate so continuing with making this a positive place will help him feel comfortable. Positive reinforcement training from an experienced guardian will help Charlie be a fantastic dog.

RYLEY ID 310595 2Yr 4Wk old, Female , Domestic Short Hair, Mixed Breed.

“Kawasaki” is more reserved and shy than his bro ‘Honda’ #311411 but he comes around once he sees all the attention his brother is getting. He’s also seven years CHARLIE ID 297951 9 Mth 3 Wk old, young and will require an active home. Kawasaki will make an excellent companion to those willing to put the time and Neutered Male , Collie Rough, energy in to him.

Mixed Breed, Border Collie.

An important facet of the Movember movement is to raise awareness regarding prostrate cancer and illness. Man’s best friend, the dog, also tends to get various kinds of prostrate illnesses (including cancer). An important difference being, prostrate problems in dogs can be easily avoided. Neutering (or castration) of male dogs is a safe surgical procedure wherein the testicles are surgically removed. Various veterinary associations and veterinarians across Canada recommend neutering pets within the first year of life. In this day and age, this recommendation is mostly aimed at decreasing illnesses as seen in non-neutered dogs. Decreasing inter-pet aggression and unwanted puppies are also known benefits of neutering.

There are various myths about the neutering of pets. Dogs will reach their adult weight and size based on a combination of genetics, nutrition, exercise, environment, socialization and hormones. Neutering a pet does not affect the eventual size of the dog and generally does not alter how muscular (or cute) he may look. While neutering at around 6 months of age is ideal, there is no harm if a pet owner decides to pursue the

neuter surgery for the pet at around one year of age. Generally speaking, any non-neutered dog is prone to testicular or prostrate illness after a year of age.

Neutered dogs are much less likely to have health problems such as prostrate infection, testicular tumors and prostatic cancer. Nonneutered or intact dogs with such problems may show signs such as difficult urination, blood in urine, hair loss and changes in behavior during early illness. If diagnosed early, neutering the pet can easily treat such illnesses. If, however, an infection or tumor has progressed to a certain stage, more complex treatments and a poor outcome may be possible.

As we raise awareness and learn more regarding health issues for men, it is important not to forget man’s best friend. A timely neuter procedure may well add years to your pets’ life.

“Ryley” is the perfect choice for a home looking for a fabulous, adult feline! Ryley had kittens which have been adopted, however her foster home says “Ryley is an absolute doll!”

She lived peacefully with 3 other cats and a Golden Retriever.

Ryley is also very friendly and affectionate with her humans.

She will be spayed prior to her adoption so no more babies for this sweetheart. She’s deserving of a loving home too!

Original small SUV gets a refreshing spin

contributor

In 1996, Toyota launched the world’s first small SUV to use a carlike unitized chassis, the RAV4. It garnered a lot of praise because it offered more versatility than a car but wasn’t as cumbersome as a large SUV. Due to its success, many of Toyota’s rivals created similar vehicles.

As the popularity of these cars continued to rise, the RAV4 lost some momentum.

The signature rearmounted spare tire has been moved inside to a more conventional location, under the cargo floor.

This allowed the Toyota to switch from their sideswinging tailgate to a traditional liftgate. While this move is somewhat surprising, the “switch” does make the RAV4 more functional and cleaner in design.

RAV4: Significant improvement continued from page 21

Prices remain competitive. The RAV4 is available in three trim levels; LE, XLE and Limited. Allwheel drive is standard on the Limited and available as an option on the others.

Performance

The only engine available is the same 2.5-litre four cylinder as before; it continues to produce an adequate 176-hp and 172 ft.-lbs. of torque. The optional V6 has been dropped, mostly due to weak demand.

The transmission has been updated, however.

The out-of-date fourspeed automatic was switched out in favour of a new six-speed. Indeed, front-wheel drive models have a combined rating of 7.7L/100km.

While it’s unlikely the RAV4 will spend a lot of time off-road, the available AWD system features an electronic locking centre differential, capable of splitting torque 50-50 at low speeds.

Environment

The first thing you notice climbing into the new RAV4 is the wide, soft-touch dash. Even the entry level receives a twotone interior design that is much appreciated.

Front seats are wide and easy to get into, while retaining good side supports during tough turns.

And while exterior size is down, the interior feels larger, especially in the rear seats, which also recline.

From the driver’s seat, you will notice that all of the instrumentation is new.

The cargo area boasts a class-leading 1,087 litres of space with the rear seats up and 2,078 with them down. Tie-down hooks are standard to keep items from moving around.

Convenience options include a backup camera, heated side mirrors and programmable power liftgate that allows you to set the height the hatch opens to.

Lane departure warning, blind spot monitoring

and rear cross traffic alert are also available, but only at the Limited trim level.

Features

Ranging in price from $23,790 for the LE, to $31,700 for the Limited.

The XLE sits in the middle, starting at $27,000.

Fuel efficiency numbers (L/100km) for FWD models are 8.7 city, 6.4 highway and 7.7 combined.

AWD models are rated at 9.1 city, 6.8 highway, 8.1 combined.

Changing tires in remote areas can be tricky

CLICK & CLACK TALK CARS Ray & Tom Magliozzi

Dear Tom and Ray: I have a two-year-old Camry, and I like to work on my cars. I live in northwestern Montana. Great place!

But we have snow. I have a complete set of studded tires, and I am quite happy changing out all four tires twice a year. But I cannot

get the wheels off the car myself – either set! I have changed wheels for 60 years, but I can’t seem to remove these. I had the dealer do it and watched at the garage as they pounded on them with sledgehammers. I asked the service manager, and he told me that this is not an uncommon problem. What if my wife or I get a flat tire and need to remove a wheel? Did I mention I live in remote northwest Montana? The service manager told me that if that happens, I should loosen the lug nuts and drive it for a while, and the wheels will come loose. Is that really good advice?

– Nick

TOM: This is a pretty common problem, Nick, especially in parts of the country where snow, salt and rust are prevalent.

RAY: What happens is that there’s a protrusion on the hub, over which the hole at the centre of the wheel slides. The wheel is then secured to the hub with the lug nuts.

TOM: That hole in the centre of the wheel just barely fits around the hub’s protrusion. So if you have steel wheels, which I’m sure you do, and you have snow, salt and rust, which I know you do, the wheel and hub can

become sort of fused with rust over time. That’s what makes the wheel hard to remove.

RAY: Brute force tends to be the tool of choice for this job. That’s why you saw the repair guys going at the wheels with sledgehammers.

TOM: My brother wasn’t paying attention when they taught this in mechanic school, so he also uses his sledgehammer for computer repair – less successfully.

RAY: But more satisfyingly.

TOM: What we do when we change a customer’s

wheels in the snow belt is first take some sandpaper and clean off any rust or budding corrosion that we find on the inside of the hole in the wheel or on the outside of the hub protrusion.

RAY: You don’t have to worry if you end up making the hole a little bigger.

The wheels are centred and held securely in place by the lug nuts.

TOM: Then we grease both surfaces before putting on the wheels. That usually helps a lot, at least for the six months or until the next seasonal change.

RAY: And if you do have

a flat tire and need to change a wheel in some remote area, the advice you got is almost good.

TOM: Yeah, almost. What you want to do is loosen the lug nuts a little bit – not a lot! And then drive the car quickly for a very short distance (like 10 feet) and stop abruptly. Then put it in reverse and do the same thing going backward. That usually will jolt the stuck wheel free so you can remove it.

RAY: But don’t just loosen up the lug nuts and go driving around for a while.

That usually doesn’t end well. Good luck, Nick.

“You’ve got a ‘friend’ in the business!” the announcer says. “From now till Saturday, you’ll save as though you’ve got a ‘friend in the business’ here at XYZ motors (not their real name) …”

Yes indeed, XYZ motors might be having a sale to end all sales. I can almost

buy that one. But the misconception lurking behind this innocent jingle is a philosophical one rather than commercial one.

The implication is that when you have friends or family who are in the car business, you’ll get a terrific deal from them. Maybe yes, but there’s much more to it than that.

In fact, my relatives’ experience has borne out exactly the opposite: they were extremely dissatisfied after buying a car from my cousin in the car

biz. How so?

People tend to trust their car-biz contacts too much, lulling the buyers away from doing their homework. So when a pal calculates less-than-bargain prices, you’re more likely to unwittingly blink prettily and say, “Sure.”

This is not to say that it’s intentional.

Your friend selling the car – making his or her livelihood doing so, remember – might have some assumptions, too.

It’s like you’re expect-

ing to get a better deal than you should get, because you’re friends or family, and then the person selling the car is thinking maybe they shouldn’t be asking as much as they want to, because you’re friends.

In short, whoever feels they got the best deal could take a lot of guilt with them. Whoever doesn’t, might feel they were taken advantage of, whether it be the buyer or seller. And that can put a genuine strain on any rela-

tionship and becomes even worse when family and friends are involved.

For example, friends of mine approached a relative who sells cars. It’s a long and sordid story, but my friends ended up with a car that was not right for them. And because of the personal relationship, they somehow felt obligated to keep the car when they discovered it didn’t have the key options they thought they were getting.

Despite our pushing (which probably didn’t

help), they still wouldn’t discuss the problem with the dealership, who, upon discovering the mix-up, most likely would have fixed the problem somehow. But I guess we’ll never know.

Don’t think of your car salesman as your buddy, even if he or she really is.

It’s a business relationship. Do your homework and ask a lot of questions, and you’ll come home satisfied every time – and your friends will stay your friends.

Bullying damages our kids.

Do something about it.

SECTION COORDINATOR Tom Berridge, 604-444-3022 • tberridge@burnabynow.com

Back-to-back Beans for Spartans Tom Berridge sports editor

Burnaby’s Lindsey Pulice must be wondering what the next three years at Trinity Western University have in store.

The sophomore left back with the Spartans’ women’s soccer team toasted her second straight Gladys Bean Trophy in as many seasons following Trinity Western’s 1-0 victory over the Université de Montreal Carabins in the Canadian Interuniversity Sports national championship final in Toronto on Sunday.

In the final, tournament allstar striker Krista Gommeringer scored the cup-winning goal for TWU in the 59th minute.

Trinity Western’s Vanessa Kovacs was named the championship MVP. “It’s pretty unbelievable,” said Pulice. “We were all hugging and screaming, some of us were crying. It was an amazing feeling.”

The national title was the fifth such banner in as many CIS finals for the women’s soccer program.

The game was also a rematch of the 2009 final between TWU and Montreal that the Langley school won on penalty kicks.

Last year, Trinity Western won CIS gold in a shootout over Queen’s. The Spartans also won back-to-back titles in 2008 and ’09. The Spartans’ first national title occurred in 2004 against host McGill.

With its fifth national trophy, Trinity Western tied the University of British Columbia for most CIS titles.

Canada West teams have claimed 17 national banners in the 27-year history of the CIS women’s soccer championships.

“It feels just as good as my first. I want to win more of them,” said Pulice, a second-year business major. “It’s the best feeling in the world to share these moments with my teammates. It’s just so great to accomplish it together.”

Pulice’s Burnaby North gradmate Isabella Di Trocchio and fourth-year New Westminster midfielder Caitlin Haines also shared in the Spartan’s second

But the path to a second consecutive national tournament was far from a sure thing for Trinity Western.

The Spartans finished fourth overall in the Canada West conference with an 8-1-3 record.

After starting the year as the pre-season favourite, TWU fell to

No. 8 nationally in the polls.

But in the playoffs, Trinity avenged an earlier regular season loss to the University of Victoria, advancing to the conference final with a 1-0 win over the Vikings and claiming one of two available berths to the nationals.

In the CanWest finals, TWU lost 2-1 in overtime to Alberta.

Trinity Western opened the national championships with a 30 win over Laurier in quarter-final action.

The Spartans then got by Atlantic champion Cape Breton 10 to advance to their fifth CIS final in six seasons.

Clan claims men’s all-conference silverware

The Simon Fraser University men’s soccer team swept most of the post-season honours in the Great Northwest conference this season.

Chris Bargholz, a second-team all-conference midfielder in 2012, was voted as the Great Northwest player of the year.

It is the third straight season that a Clan player

Royals take bronze at nats

has won player of the year in the Great Northwest conference.

Michael Winter won the award in 2012, while Carlo Basso was named co-player of the year last season.

SFU teammates and first team all-stars Alex Rowley and Magnus Kristensen were also honoured, receiving defensive player and freshman of the

year honors, respectively.

SFU head coach Alan Koch was named coach of the year for a fourth consecutive season.

BargholzandKristensen were unanimous selections to the all-conference first team.

Five other Clan players earned second team honors, and two more were named honorable mention, giving SFU a total of 11

members of the program earning all-conference recognition this season.

Forward Ryan Dhillon repeated as a second-team honoree. Colin Jacques also made the second team up front.

Midfielder Jovan Blagojevic and defenders Marco Voegeli and Johannes Hallman were also second team picks.

Freshman goalkeep-

er Brandon Watson and Adam Staschuk, in the midfield, were honourable mentions for the Clan.

With the regular season in the books, the Clan now turns its attention to the 2013 NCAA tournament, which began Thursday in Los Angeles (after NOW deadlines). tberridge@burnabynow. com

The Douglas College Royals turned a first-round loss into a bronze medal at the Canadian Colleges’ national men’s soccer championships on Saturday.

The fourth-seeded Royals lost their opening game 2-0 to Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, but rallied to defeat the No. 2 Alberta seed in the bronze-medal game 2-1 in a shootout, successfully avenging their only loss in the eight-team tournament.

“Given all things considered, it’s good to come home with a bronze,” said first-year Douglas College co-coach Robby Toor.

In the tournament opener, Douglas monopolized play but could not beat the Alberta keeper despite seven or eight clear-cut chances in the first half alone, said Toor.

NAIT scored on its first chance early in the second half and then tallied later in the game on a penalty kick to move into the championship round.

The Royals responded with a 3-2 victory over the host and No. 8 seeded University of New Brunswick St. John on three second-half goals, all by player of the game Sahil Sandhu. Two of Sandhu’s goals came on penalty kicks.

Douglas moved on to a berth in the bronze medal final following a 4-1 win over the No. 3 seed MacEwan College from Edmonton.

Player of the game Shahbaz Khattra got two goals for Douglas, while Isaac Kyei and Javid Khan, playing in his first game at the nationals, both scored single markers.

In the bronze medal matchup, Douglas met NAIT for a second time in the tournament, but came away with a 2-1 victory following a shootout.

Khattra scored the only goal for the Royals in regulation time.

The Rockets eked out a 2-1 win over the Giants at home on Nov. 9. Okanagan then completed the weekend sweep with a 5-2 victory over the Burnaby-based club the following day.

The losses left the Giants in second place in the 11-team ladder, four points

Quinn Thompson scored the Giants’ only goal in the opening game.

Owen Stout and Justin Szeto tallied single markers in the second game.

MINOR HOCKEY

Demoted midget ’Dogs win first Vic Classic hockey title Tom Berridge sports editor

A Burnaby Minor midget hockey team is doing its best to prove the tiering round wrong.

The midget A1 Bulldogs won the 11th annual Victoria Midget Classic tournament for the first time ever, taking top spot in the A flight following a 4-0 victory over newly promoted Coquitlam A1 last weekend.

The Bulldogs, recently bumped to Flight 2 following an 0-6-2 record during the tiering round, were a perfect 5-0 against the 12 mostly Tier 1 teams taking

part.

After a scoreless first two periods, Burnaby defenceman Adam Merenda sparked a four-goal surge in the final session of the gold-medal game, scoring what turned out to be the game-winning goal midway through the third frame.

First team tournament all-star Alex Ambrosio, who led the team in tournament scoring, added a second goal less than a minute later.

Ken Takahashi counted a pair of late goals to salt Burnaby’s first-ever win at the Capital City competition.

Netminder Garrett Wills was named Burnaby’s player of the game following the shutout in the tournament final.

Kyle Harpestad shared the goalkeeping with Wills, posting two of Burnaby’s five wins. The Bulldogs outscored their combined opposition 35-4.

Burnaby bench boss Cleve Astle was named the first all-star team coach following the competition.

“It’s certainly a first, an all-time first,” said Burnaby Minor midget A1 team manager Paul Conners. “It was kind of a nice statement on our part that we don’t belong in A2.”

UNIVERSITY SPORTS

Spartans:

Clan teams win season firsts

Junior Erin Chambers led Simon Fraser University women’s basketball team to its first conference win this season.

Chambers was one of four Clan players to reach double-figure scoring following a 73-64 win over Cal State Pomona on Nov. 9.

SFU also lost the first game of a back-to-back series in Pomona, California, falling 66-64 in the opener.

The third-year forward led the Clan in scoring in both games, knocking down 20 points in the opening game, before tacking on 21, including 19 in a big second half in SFU’s win the following night.

Chambers was also a perfect 10-for-10 from the free throw line in the game.

Marie-Line Petit contributed 14 points, six assists, four rebounds and two steals in the Clan win.

Katie Lowen and Kia Van Laare of New Westminster both scored 10 points for SFU.

Opening victory

The Clan edged Fresno Pacific 69-67 in the men’s

season opener in Fresno, California on Nov. 8.

Ibrahim Appiah led the Clan with 11 points, 12 rebounds and six assists.

Sango Niang had a team-high 14 points, while David Gebru added 13.

The following day, SFU dropped an 85-72 decision to Cal State Stanislaus on the second leg of its California swing.

Gebru and Niang had 19 points apiece.

Lost the last one

In soccer, the Clan men’s team lost its final regular season match in the Great Northwest conference 3-0 to Western Washington last Saturday.

All three goals came in the first 15 minutes of the match.

Win stops skid

The SFU football team stopped a six-game losing slide with a 38-17 win over Humboldt State at Terry Fox Field last Saturday.

The Clan sacked the Humboldt quarterback seven times in the game. tberridge@burnabynow. com

“Last year, we had momentum. (This season) was a great challenge, but we succeeded,” said Pulice.

“The coaches and the girls, everyone has so much passion and so much heart just to really play for each other. It’s basically what we’re all about.”

Hard to the goal: Burnaby’s Nathan Howes goes to the net in a 6-3 win over Everett in pool play at the BWC bantam A2 Remembrance Day hockey tournament. Burnaby Minor lost 2-1 in a shootout to the eventual champions Ridge Meadows A1 in the semifinals.

Steelers knock off division leader Three unassisted goals gave the Grandview Steelers a 4-1 upset win over Pacific Junior Hockey League leader Delta Ice Hawks on Sunday.

First star Christopher Seto broke open a tight one-goal game against the Ice Hawks, scoring unassisted at 7:03 of the second period to give the Burnaby Winter Club-based junior B club a 3-1 lead.

Seto, who currently leads the club with 15 points, scored his team-high eighth goal of the season in the third period.

Rookie forward Timothy Chow tallied the unassisted game-winning goal early in the middle frame.

Last week, Grandview lost a 5-3 decision in Abbotsford to the first-place Harold Brittain conference Pilots.

The Steelers fell behind 4-0 early in the second period before staging an attempted comeback later in the frame.

penalty spot in the shootout to give Douglas the third-place medal.

The win was the first shootout victory for Douglas at the nationals in more than a decade, Toor said, adding the Royals were 0-5 from the penalty spot in past appearances at the Canadian college championships.

Humber College successfully defended its CCAA national title with a 2-0 win over the PacWest provincial champion Thompson Rivers University Wolfpack.

“I think it was a very successful season. We didn’t get a chance to play (Humber),” said Toor.

“They play a similar style to us. But we’re quite happy with the bronze.”
