Company president says city will get millions of dollars in tax revenue Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

How does Burnaby stand to benefit from the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion? That was the subject of Ian Anderson’s talk at the Burnaby Board of Trade luncheon on Wednesday, and the Kinder Morgan Canada president is promising jobs and millions in tax revenue for the city.

Anderson spoke to the business crowd at the Delta Burnaby Hotel and Conference Centre, outlining the benefits of the proposed pipeline expansion.

“I’ve always thought: are those benefits worth the risk?” he said. “Are those benefits worth jeopardizing our beautiful environment in British Columbia, and I know that’s foremost in everyone’s mind.”

Some of the benefits include additional tax revenue for the City of Burnaby. The existing Trans Mountain pipeline generates an annual $7 million for Burnaby, but that’s expected to rise to $13 million if the expansion is approved.

According to a video accompanying Anderson’s presentation, the money could cover an extra 132 firefighters per year or more than cover annual garbage costs for Burnaby. Each tanker that docks at Burnaby’s Westridge Marine Terminal injects $310,000 in value to the local economy, according to Anderson’s presentation.

Anderson promised the company would prioritize hiring locally whenever Pipeline Page 9

A small two-person Burnaby operation is showing local kids a whole new world – and one that’s not far from home.

Since its inception 13 years ago, the Pacific Parklands Foundation has given children the key to escaping the concrete jungle.

The foundation works within 22 regional parks, raising funds for projects that improve accessibility and give youth and nature lovers more opportunities to interact with the natural world.

“It’s pretty much an escape from the

city, to get away from the hustle and bustle of Vancouver and even Burnaby,” said Caitlin Hill, the communications and fund development coordinator for the foundation.

One of the foundation’s success stories is located within the city, though it seems an entirely different world from Brentwood or Metrotown – the viewing tower at Burnaby Lake Park.

On a bright, cold fall day, the two foundation staff members and their intern meet with the NOW at the park to discuss the foundation’s work.

scene is tranquil and quiet – barring the occasional train whistle.

The tower was built in 2009, after threeand-a-half years of planning, though it took only two months to build the structure.

The foundation raised $160,000 for the tower project, according to executive director Denise Coutts.

“Metro Vancouver has such a big long list of things that they need to do, so that’s where our foundation can come in and approach some of our different funders and see if they’re interested,” she said of

City SkyTrain facelift to cost $37 mil Stefania Seccia staff reporter

10 Global banks targeted

The proposed upgrade to Metrotown SkyTrain has a benchmark price of $37 million.

More than 60,000 riders will notice drastic changes in increments at the bustling Burnaby SkyTrain station if the project gets approved.

“Over the next 30 years, we’re expecting a million people to come into the region and we wanted to upgrade these stations to meet those capacity levels,” TransLink

spokesperson Jiana Ling told the NOW. The Metrotown SkyTrain upgrade is one of seven SkyTrains across the Lower Mainland getting upgraded, including New Westminster station.

TransLink applied to Burnaby council through a rezoning application to allow the upgrades, which will not only change the façade of the building, but also how commuters access the surrounding area.

Ling said the SkyTrain station will have white mesh and more

glass replacing the older station mesh, which will be “more transparent, brighter and a safer amenity for our customers.” There will be up and down escalators from ground level to platforms on both ends, and the elevator will be replaced with two new ones.

“Metrotown is one of the bigger ones,” Ling noted. “It’s the second busiest station, it holds a lot of people. We wanted to make sure that with these upgrades they’ll meet the future capacity, as well as improve accessibility and customer amenities, and better integra-

tion with the surrounding neighbourhood.”

As the Burnaby NOW previously reported, back in May, council raised the alarm over the proposed bus exchange moving to Beresford Street.

At the time, Mayor Derek Corrigan said the bus loop move was his primary concern because it did not match council’s vision for that area.

But Ling says nothing has been finalized.

Construction is expected between April 2014 and 2016.

Last Friday was the final cap in the story about a former Burnaby dentist with an illegal practice on the run from the law.

On Nov. 22, after Tung Sheng (David) Wu turned himself in to the Toronto Police on Nov. 16, he finally stood before the Supreme Court judge who sentenced him in absentia last month.

At the Friday court date, Associate Chief Justice Austin Cullen wanted to ensure that Wu understood the former proceedings where he was found guilty of the charges that had stacked against him.

Wu had an injunction filed against him in 2003, preventing him from practising dentistry.

He was found in contempt of court for disobeying the order and another injunction was issued against him. Wu will also have to serve a threemonth jail sentence.

Evidence found by private investigators showed that Wu had full intentions to set up a dentistry practice again over the summer, when he was still on the run.

The initial investigation was Dentist Page 5

Dirt cheap? Not anymore The soil removal and soil deposit bylaws in Burnaby haven’t changed much since they were introduced in 1961 and 1971 – but they’re due for a major update.

The permit fee of $2.50 for soil removal or a soil deposit permit fee has changed to $250 per application.

The new fee is intended to offset the city’s “actual” costs related to the permit, according to a city engineering report.

Permit extensions beyond the six-month validity period will still have no charge, unless conditions change.

Racist graffiti triggers RCMP investigation Cayley Dobie and Stefania Seccia

staff reporters

It’s just three little words – but together the short, blunt sentence has sparked an investigation by Burnaby RCMP. “Kill all Chinese” was found etched into the wall of a bathroom stall at Metrotown this week. The racist phrase was reported to Burnaby Mounties on Tuesday afternoon, almost 24 hours after it was posted to a website popular in the Chinese community, forum.iask.ca.

According to Burnaby RCMP Staff Sgt. Maj. John Buis, the racist graffiti has since been removed from the bathroom, but the investigation is just getting started.

“We take this very seriously,” he said.

“We’re working with the mall security and also with the mall management.”

Jeanne Fike, of the Burnaby Intercultural Planning Table, said the graffiti came up at her group’s meeting Thursday morning, and everyone was shocked.

“Everyone around the table, there were more than 20 people there, and everybody was appalled,” she said. “It’s the work of our table to try to educate and do whatever we can to eradicate racism and inequality and this kind of appalling incident.”

Fike said she hopes this graffiti remark does not represent the majority of how Burnaby residents feel.

“Although there are systemic barriers

CITY BRIEFS $60K for electric hand dryers

Following a vandalism incident at one of the Burnaby Lake Sports Complex change rooms in 2011, a switch was made from paper towels to hand dryers.

The difference in the one change room significantly reduced the amount of garbage and litter. It led to more switches from towels to dryers at other recreation centres across the city.

On Nov. 25, city council approved $60,000 from the gaming funds to switch over other paper towel dispensers to electric hand dryers at other field houses and washrooms across Burnaby.

Burnaby amends solid waste and recycling bylaw and clarifies terms

City council approved several changes to its solid waste and recycling bylaw, including clarifications in its wording.

The amended bylaw attempts to define the term overflow to help curb littering for multi-family and commercial customers, according to an engineering report.

It also adds a fee table for miscellaneous products and services, which will be charged as $30 for a composter per unit, a $25 fee for delivery (per trip), and a $6 fee for Styrofoam disposal (per cubic meter).

Maywood Community School gets grant for rainforest mural

The West Coast rainforest mural on the side of Maywood Community School will be half-funded by the City of Burnaby.

At a recent meeting, city council authorized $2,600 for the mural, which is part of its 2013 mural grant program.

The mural was painted by Todd Polich, artist and founder of Earth Foundation Conservation Society, and cost $5,200 to install.

sparked in May, when a patient lodged a complaint to the College of Dental Surgeons of B.C. Last August, Wu was caught practicing dentistry in his Burnaby home. He eluded the authorities and had been on the run until turning himself in, in Ontario.

Wu had about 1,500 clients, and so far more than 450 people have come forward – identifying themselves as former patients.

Wu was delivered to North Fraser Pretrial Centre on Friday, which assigned him a correctional facility where he will serve his sentence.

“People like Mr. Wu are in business for personal gain only, purely for profit, and put their patients’ health at risk,” said Jerome Marburg, College of Dental Surgeons of B.C. CEO, in a statement. “They are neither qualified to practise, nor do they implement the infection control and other safety measures required to protect their patients.”

The dental college covered costs for the private investigation and court proceedings against Wu, which has cost more than $140,000.

to immigrants and refugees, big time, in our community,” she added. “And that’s what we’re trying to deal with, is a systemic change to eliminate barriers to some of the most vulnerable people in our community.”

The planning table organizes dialogues through community dinners, educational workshops and programs for all ages, in an effort to end racism.

“Given some of the facts about how we need immigrants, and so many come with incredible strength and experiences, we need to, as a community, eliminate the barriers,” Fike noted.

According to Buis, it’s unusual to find this type of graffiti written in such a

secluded area.

“It’s not that it doesn’t typically happen, it’s just that it’s very confined and not a lot of people would have seen it,” he said.

Because the graffiti was written on a bathroom stall, which is essentially a private area, police have very few leads in their investigation.

“We don’t have any suspects. We don’t have any video because it’s in a women’s washroom, and nobody has come forward with any further information,” he told the NOW. Anyone with information about the graffiti is asked to contact Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922.

If they don’t believe Justin Trudeau is a privileged pot-smoking dilettante with no economic policy now, they will by 2015.

The NDP may have had its vote halved and more in Manitoba on Monday, but in Toronto Centre it actually increased its share of the vote to a historic high of 36 per cent. So while Trudeau and his party will be pleased the Conservative vote dropped in Toronto from 23 per cent in 2011 to nine per cent, they know they must worry about beating the NDP decisively before they can beat the Conservatives.

He also then took it a step further stating that no one knows where the donations go – insinuating that charities are stealing people’s money. He said self-promoting rescue groups use sad cases of animal neglect to bring in money. He also added that he, as a computer specialist, knows that rescue groups spend money to hire computer technicians to pad the number of likes on our websites and social media pages.

Both he and Katherine Kinman, owner of King Ed Pet Centre, missed the fact that rescue groups wouldn’t exist if people would stop selling unaltered animals and breeding more and more to

Dear Editor:

After having attended last Monday’s city council meeting on the sales of animals in Burnaby pet stores, I find myself this morning still reeling as to what I was witness to last night.

I am astounded that council would allow John Crocock, a Richmond resident, to publicly stand up, on the record and slander reputable, hard-working rescue groups and not make a single move to correct him. Crocock stated that rescues are unregulated and that anyone can hang up a shingle and call themselves a rescue.

Contrary to this is the fact that reputable rescue groups are highly regulated as they are registered societies through the province of B.C., are registered

Trees: Take pride in surroundings continued from page 6

I cannot even see the sky.

It was as if someone had turned off the light in my lovely light, airy home, and it affects most of the house.

During the course of a single walk, I felt my house had been devalued by literally thousands of dollars, and my pleasure in my home had been stripped from me.

I moped around in my gloomy home for a week or two, feeling hemmed in, confined and depressed.

Then I accepted the fact that I could do nothing about having what feels like a factory wall built beside me, so I had better do whatever I could to remedy the situation by altering what I could control.

I decided to take down the trees. They were here when I bought the house a few years ago but had grown enormously. Trees don’t have to be huge to be attractive. I intend to replace them with smaller ones and flowering shrubs.

I barely miss them, and I am again captivated by the marvellous view.

People who bemoan

the loss of trees should fly over Burnaby or see the view from one of the highrises. Burnaby looks like a forest, with nothing but trees as far as the eye can see.

No one is talking about taking them all down, but equally, no one with any sense would let a few trees rob them of a stunning, world-class view. You can grow trees anywhere, but people from other countries spend thousands to come to Canada to see our mountain ranges and coastlines.

Many people pack too many trees into a garden when they rebuild, without thinking that they will crowd each other out as they grow. You can have too many trees, and some of the homes in my area are so dark and foreboding that I would consider them unsaleable.

If council sees its contemplated new restrictions as a cash grab, there are plenty of more worthwhile targets – fine people for putting out their dirty old mattresses or broken furniture or other rubbish for weeks on end, or for not picking up after their dogs.

Fine them for littering, or even for letting their trees grow too large!

Despite my cardinal sin of removing eight trees in one fell swoop, I consider I do more for the planet than most Burnaby residents. I recycle everything I can, and have the smallest size garbage toter. It goes out only three times a year, as I generate very little trash, yet I still pay the same $25 as those who put out full bins every week.

I have chosen not to drive any more (and I hardly ever use transit either, as most of the things I need are within walking distance). I bet most of your tree-huggers drive a car, and many drive SUVs or trucks.

People who live in glass houses should not throw stones.

I sincerely hope that the city will abandon its proposed bylaw and not be so willing to appease a few misguided individuals.

Let’s all just take pride in our surroundings and do all we can to make Burnaby a better, cleaner place to live.

D. Ashenden is a Burnaby resident.

sell. Kinman said that her customers need a place to bring all the babies they are having.

A responsible citizen would take steps to stop this cycle, not encourage it by paying for litter after litter to sell and profit off of.

Rescue groups would be more than happy to shut down.

Unfortunately this goes against the pet store owners’ logic that we want all the animals for ourselves so that we can have neverending bottle drives to pay for vet bills, food and bedding.

Their signs (incidentally misspelling the word rescue) encouraging people to not donate to rescues goes to show their lack of understanding on the whole issue.

They also included the word “bullying,” which is sad, as it completely disrespects the true meaning of the word and those who are truly affected by bullying. Stooping to personal attacks rather than providing substantiated facts is a tactic used by those who have no argument or leg to stand on.

As a lifelong resident of Burnaby, I am saddened, as I expected more from the city.

then drove away without securing the chair or putting a seatbelt on her.

The average years of service for a HandyDart driver are 11 years. HandyDart drivers are given intensive training that has evolved over 30 years; they are also held accountable to professional standards.

It is unconscionable to argue that vulnerable people like my mom deserve anything less than safe, affordable public transportation. Neither TransLink nor taxi advocates in the disabled community should be criticized for looking for efficiencies.

Reducing HandyDart service hours despite skyrocketing demand is myopic and solves nothing. The high turnover in the taxi industry makes adequate training hard to sustain. The financial reality of driving taxi makes it hard for drivers to take extra time to safely help frail people to and from their homes. The use of taxis comes at a human cost. Taxi trips may be cheaper in Vancouver city when trips are short, but anyone who has taken a taxi outside of Vancouver city knows how quickly the meter runs up.

The provincial government continues to announce megaprojects and subsidizes corporations through giving them one-half of the carbon tax. TransLink is being forced to fund financial black holes. Meanwhile taxpayers are being told that they should swallow inadequate transit solutions that hurt seniors and disabled people.

TransLink and taxi advocates should walk hand-in-hand to fight for a better, safer transit system rather than bicker over Christy Clark’s table scraps. Meanwhile, after years of safe HandyDart rides, my mom lives in fear of injury in a taxi.

possible and that there would be opportunities for Burnaby contractors, but data he presented to the crowd showed most of the jobs would not be local hires. Anderson said the Burnaby workforce would peak at about 600 jobs. As for permanent post-construction jobs, the company estimates there will be 50 in B.C. If the expansion is approved, Anderson said there would be a working hub, either in Langley or Surrey, and that there would also be economic benefits for Burnaby, stimulated by work at the company’s tank farm and the Westridge Marine Terminal.

Anderson also cited the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, which states that lack of market access (meaning the inability to get more of Canada’s tar sands crude to oil companies) has cost Canada as much as $50 million a day.

Anderson also announced that the company would file an application with the National Energy Board on Dec. 16, and public hearings would likely start next fall.

Kinder Morgan wants to twin the existing pipeline and nearly triple capacity from 300,000 barrels a day to 890,000, causing a spike in marine traffic from five or six vessels per month to 30 or 34.

If the board approves the expansion,

Anderson said the $5.4-billion project should go ahead in early 2015 and will be complete in late 2017.

Anderson was well aware of anti-pipeline sentiment in Burnaby, a city where the mayor and council have publicly opposed the expansion and residents have had their homes sprayed with crude after the 2007 Kinder Morgan pipeline rupture.

“I’m the first to admit that there’s no way people would put up their hands and say, ‘I want a pipeline down the street, I want a pipeline in my yard, I want a pipeline adjacent to the school.’ We understand that,” he said. “And we need to do that as sensitively and as neutrally a way as we can to understand and respect those interests, while at the same time providing something that offsets that.”

Anderson said Kinder Morgan has invested almost $400,000 in community programs in Burnaby alone since 2007.

After the presentation, Anderson fielded audience questions on oil spill risks, the number of permanent jobs, tanker traffic and relations with Burnaby and Vancouver mayors.

“We’re in the pipeline business. I understand that has an impact on people. I won’t apologize for that, but I’ll try to mitigate the impact as best as I can,” he said.

In the Burnaby NOW’s Nov. 27 article, “Advocates face off over puppy sales in stores,” it incorrectly stated that Maria Soroski, of Vancouver Orphan Kitten Rescue Association, provided violation records against the Metrotown’s Pet Habitat. The violations were filed by the USDA against the American breeder that Pet Habitat gets its puppies from. Not to the store itself.

City takes aim at global banking Stefania Seccia staff reporter

In an effort to stave off another Great Depression or 2008 stock market crash, Burnaby is supporting a Canadian push to limit banking powers.

Council recently received a letter from Robert Hux, of the committee for the Republic of Canada based in Montreal, calling for the reinstatement of American legislation on a global scale, known as GlassSteagall.

It refers to the U.S. Banking Act of 1933, which prohibited commercial banks from owning security brokerage firms, prohibited interest on commercial chequing accounts

and capped interest rates on savings accounts.

Essentially, reinstating the act would make global “megabanks,” such as J.P. Morgan Chase and the Bank of America, smaller and their failures would have less influence on the global market.

The act was repealed in 1999. Many supporters of Glass-Steagall say it was meant to avoid another Great Depression, and that its removal led to the 2008 financial crisis.

“The idea being that a new act would re-establish a firewall between commercial and investment banking, making the financial system more secure, stable and manageable as history has shown that ‘self supervision’ by the banks and security firms has not been in citizens’ best interest,” Denise Jorgenson, director of finance, stated in her report.

The petition from Hux includes

having commercial banks placed under government protection and investment banks stand independently. It also calls for the creation of a national banking system for the provision of long-term credit with low interest rates for productive investments.

“In general terms, introducing restrictions and applying separation between banking and securities activities would be a positive for industry and society for the same reasons the act was introduced 80 years ago,” Jorgenson stated.

The petition also appeals for the “reconstruction of the economy through the facilitation of treaties between nations,” according to the report.

Council decided to write a letter of support to the committee for the Republic of Canada, in an effort to bring back Glass-Steagall legislation.

Foundation: Connecting youth with nature continued from page 1

the foundation’s fundraising efforts.

Metro Vancouver provides interpretive staff to educate students about the park, and it uses features like the viewing tower to do so, she said.

“They complement it by having interpretive staff that will meet the teacher and the class right in the park here and then take them out to the viewing tower and talk about the ducks and the painted turtles and all the different aspects of the birding boxes. All of the different components that all the kids get absolutely excited about,” she said.

“And the interpretive staff are really fabulous. They dress up, they have lots of props, they have binoculars, I mean, they just have all sorts of ways of really connecting with youth. For some of them, they’ve never been in a park.”

The foundation also offers the Catching the Spirit program through four regional parks.

The program includes free camps for youth 12 to 18 years of age, pro-

viding outdoor recreation and environmental stewardship experiences.

“Many of the kids, they just haven’t had that experience of setting up the tent and cooking,” Coutts said, adding they do trail maintenance, invasive species removal and tree planting as well.

“It’s real physical work for the kids, and it’s very new to them and it’s very unique.”

Coutts, who previously worked for sports non-profits and the Minerva Foundation, said she loves her work with Pacific Parklands.

“It’s an opportunity to be outdoors and connect with my roots for recreation and healthy living,” she said.

“I like small little organizations that are great, they have a good mandate and mission. It’s just fun to start with them when they’re very small and watch them grow. I get up every day excited to come to work.

“Some of the volunteers we work with, they’ve had these dreams and visions for 10, 20, 30 years,” she

added. “When you see the look on their face and the accomplishment that many hands can make happen, it’s pretty rewarding.”

The foundation is currently working on its first major capital campaign, the Kanaka Creek Watershed Centre in Maple Ridge.

The first phase of the project – rebuilding the old Bell-Irving Hatchery – was completed in April, according to Hill, and now the foundation is raising funds to build an accompanying stewardship centre.

“The idea is that it will become a sort of campus, so it’s not just the indoor component with the stewardship centre but also the activities that take place at the hatchery that youth and the public can engage in, as well as the whole outdoor environment,” Hill said, adding the park is very unique, with sandstone canyons and waterfalls.

Since the foundation began its work in 2000, they have partnered on more than 80 projects within regional parks.

19 Top 5 Things To Do

SECTION COORDINATOR Julie MacLellan, 604-444-3020 • jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

Top dancers go for gold When Canada’s best dancers face off against the best in the world in December, six young dancers from Douglas Ballet Academy will be among them.

Erin Carpentier and Jaydene Searle are off to the International Dance Organization’s world tap championships, Dec. 1 to 8 in Germany. Caroline Kiddie, Emily Wismer, Jenny Lian and Morgan Bringeland-Powell are heading to Poland for the IDO’s ballet, jazz and modern worlds Dec. 7 to 15.

They’re part of Team Canada, selected after a rigorous audition process that brought together the best dancers from across the country. A press release notes that Canadian dancers are known to be some of the best in the world, with several world titles to the country’s credit.

This year’s team is headed by choreographer’s Danielle For a Gardner, of So You Think You Can Dance video, Canada, and Joshua Beamish of Move: The scan Company. with “They have high hopes of making it to Layar the podium and making Canada proud,” the release says.

But getting the dancers to Europe isn’t easy.

“Dance is not recognized in Canada as a sporting event, even though many of these dancers train up to seven days per week, they are as flexible as any gymnast, as graceful as figure skaters and as dedicated as any Olympic athlete,” the release notes.

That means the dancers must cover their own costs, which amount to $4,000 or more per dancer. They’ve been fundraising since the summer to raise the money, with a variety of events that have included a fashion show, pub night, bake sale and performance.

This weekend is a major Team Canada fundraiser: the Gala for Gold at Massey Theatre in New Westminster.

The event will include dance performances, as well as silent and live auctions.

It’s on Friday, Nov. 29, and it’s set to start at 7 p.m.

Tickets are $21.95. Buy through www.masseytheatre.com or call 604-521-5050.

For more on the dancers’ journey to the ballet, jazz and modern worlds, check out their website at www.four dancersonedream.com. You can also sponsor individual dancers there. You can also find out more at www.facebook.com/TeamCanadaWestDance.

Winter Harp celebrates 20th anniversary season Burnaby talent part of acclaimed ensemble, onstage this weekend It all began simply enough in the late 1980s, when Lori Pappajohn and Alan Woodland started annual Christmas concerts, featuring harp and readings at the New Westminster Public Library.

Now, Winter Harp is one of Western Canada’s most beloved holiday traditions, and it’s celebrating its 20th anniversary this season. The acclaimed ensemble is offering a concert on Sunday, Dec. 1 at the Massey Theatre with the Vancouver Welsh Men’s Choir.

“New Westminster really gave us our start,” said Pappajohn, the ensemble’s director and a New Westminster resident, in a press release.

She recalled the days of working with Woodland – who was the city’s chief librarian at the time – to put on their concerts in the library.

“We had no budget when we started, but

we could use the library’s community room for free, so that helped,” she remembered.

“And I also performed at Irving House for its Christmas celebrations.”

Each year the audience grew, and the two renamed their show Winter Harp and moved it to Vancouver. Out of that grew the Winter Harp ensemble, which has recorded 12 CDs For a over its two decades.

The ensemble combines harps and video, percussion with rare medieval instruscan with ments, flutes, poetry and song. It has Layar performed its Christmas concerts to tens of thousands of people, consistently receiving standing ovations and often selling out in theatres as large as 1,000 seats.

In 2006 it first teamed up with the Vancouver Welsh Men’s Choir for a Christmas concert at the Massey Theatre – and that concert was such a success that it’s become an annual event.

“What a beautiful concert it is,” Pappajohn said. “Here you have the harps and flutes and

Local talent in panto Burnaby and New Westminster residents are featured in a holiday pantomime by the Fraser Valley Gilbert and Sullivan Society.

Keira Jang and Gillian Myers are part of the chorus for The Frog Princess, under the direction of fellow local resident Mike Balser.

The original panto was written by Balser, along with Cathy Willmot and Norma Rushton, based on the Russian fairytale of the same name.

“Things are good and bad for the Tsar of Russia.

He has found a beautiful bride to marry as soon as he can select a wedding site,” explains a synopsis.

“On the bad side, his fiancée is a witch. She has turned his daughter into a frog to keep the daughter quiet about her plans to rule all of Russia. Fortunately, the frog princess has some good friends who will help her break the spell and try to warn her father about his

No outbreaks this year Stefania Seccia

W

hile C. difficile cases still exist at Burnaby Hospital, there’s been no outbreak at the facility since last December.

It’s been more than a year since the Fraser Health Authority first rolled out its laundry-list of changes at Burnaby Hospital to tackle the highly infectious bacteria – and the results are starting to show.

Clostridium difficile causes diarrhea, nausea and dehydration, and it’s highly contagious. In December 2011, two units were closed for nine and 12 days each, according to several Fraser Health head doctors who wrote concerned letters that were made public at the time.

The doctors said more than 470 patients had contracted C. difficile in a two-and-a-half year period from 2009 to mid-2011 – and 84 of those patients with C. difficile had died.

Last September, Burnaby Hospital reduced the number of patients in each room and upgraded its ventilation system, in an effort to curb the problem. By May 2012, 14 new cases of the infection were reported. Burnaby now has under four cases.

“Burnaby has not had an outbreak of C. difficile since Dec. 3, 2012,” Dr. Elizabeth Brodkin, executive medical director for infection control, told the Burnaby NOW. “We have been working very hard on C. difficile for almost two years now.”

Another big change was made with the number of Fraser Health staff-

Darcy questions upcoming review

New Westminster MLA Judy Darcy wants to know more about the upcoming review of the Fraser Health Authority.

Darcy, also the NDP health critic, said Health Minister Terry Lake needs to answer questions about what the review will include and who will be consulted.

“There have been a number of troubling incidents at Fraser Health hospitals over the last few months that shed light on the urgent issues of hospital overcrowding, emergency room wait times and inadequate staffing levels,” Darcy said in a media release. “Despite what the (health) minister says, these issues are more than hiccups – they are pervasive issues that require a clear and comprehensive action plan.”

The province ordered the strategic and operational review of the authority and appointed the head of the Fraser Health board to co-chair the review panel.

Darcy said she wants to know why details about the review haven’t been released, and if there will be public consultation.

In an interview with the Vancouver Sun, Fraser Health’s CEO Nigel Murray said the review will help the authority, as it’s been struggling to expand and make ends meet. He added that the review will provide ways to streamline services and ensure that every bed is used efficiently.

Nurses worried about ERs

The B.C. Nurses’ Union is still ringing the alarm over Fraser Health’s emergency rooms.

In a recent media release, the union has called on the health authority to take immediate action by eliminating understaffing and overcrowding in hospitals.

The union referenced an 86-year-old woman’s case where she had been to the emergency room 11 times over the last year.

The union says the woman should be in a long-term care facility, but no one put her on a waiting list for one.

“There are thousands of other seniors just like Mrs. Otloff across B.C. emergency rooms and hospital wards overflowing with seniors who shouldn’t be there,” said union president Debra McPherson, in a media release. “They need to be in long-term care facilities or receiving adequate nursing support at home. Instead, they inevitably return to the ER again and again.”

It costs B.C. taxpayers $5,000 for each hospital visit, according to the media release. In one year, Otloff cost the system $350,000, which is significantly more than what nursing services at a home cost.

ers dedicated to infection protocols. There are now 30 practitioners across the health authority and 12 consultants.

In another effort to beat C. difficile, a vaccine trial in its third phase is being conducted at Royal Columbian Hospital. The study is part of a worldwide trial.

The hospital is still enrolling potential candidates, and there will be 15,000 people involved in the study worldwide, according to Alison Orth, research coordinator at Fraser Health. There are specific eligibility requirements involved, as well.

MOTORING

CounterAttack campaign begins this week people are killed in B.C. each year in crashes involving impaired driving.

While attitudes towards drinking and driving have changed considerably over the years, an average of 95 lives are still lost each year and impaired driving

On Wednesday, the B.C. government, police and ICBC launched the annual December CounterAttack campaign to ask drivers to plan ahead for a safe ride home if their holiday festivities involve alcohol.

During December, an average of five

remains a leading cause of car crash fatalities in B.C. “We’ve come a long way since 1976, the year before CounterAttack roadchecks started, when more than 300 people were killed in impaired related crashes each

year in our province,” said Suzanne Anton, Attorney General and Minister of Justice.

“Despite the progress, the numbers are far too high.”

Home safe with Operation Red Nose Cayley Dobie staff reporter

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

Operation Red Nose officially kicks off this weekend, and organizers are reminding people to plan for a safe ride home this holiday season.

“We … allow people to have a really good time at Christmas so they can relax and not worry about driving and let us take care of it. We add to the Christmas cheer,” said Chris Wilson of KidSport and organizer of Operation Red Nose in Burnaby, New Westminster and the TriCities.

On Dec. 13, officers and volunteers from the New Westminster Police Department will be out on the roads picking up people for Operation Red Nose, and on Dec. 14 Burnaby RCMP will take over. Having organizations like police departments is one way of getting the community involved, Wilson said.

“There’s lots of opportunities for organizations and companies or different groups to participate,” he added.

Often volunteer drivers and navigators are regular folks from the community simply looking to lend a hand during the holiday season.

While the Burnaby and New Westminster operation is still looking for volunteers, Wilson said they often get a variety of applicants, from youth and students to senior citizens.

“They’re from all walks of life really,” he added.

Volunteers are organized into groups of three and sent out to pick people up when

volunteers back at the base alert get a call.

Volunteer drivers are required to use their own vehicle and must complete a police background check (the fee is waived by police departments when applying for Operation Red Nose).

Operation Red Nose has been providing people safe rides home in British Columbia for nearly two decades, and today (Nov. 29) the 2013 campaign gets underway for the second year in Burnaby and New Westminster. Last year, the local operation, which includes the Tri-Cities, gave 864 safe rides to residents.

“Not all those people were super intoxicate, but I really, honestly believe, in those 864 rides we gave, we prevented collisions, (and) we might have saved a few lives,” Wilson said.

Had too much to drink? Feeling sleepy?

People living in Burnaby can call 778-8666673 or 1-877-604-NOSE for rides between 9 p.m. and 3 a.m. and three Operation Red Nose volunteers will come pick you up.

Two volunteers, a navigator and a driver, will drive you home in your own vehicle as a third follows in an escort vehicle to pick the volunteers up after dropping you off.

While all the rides are free thanks to volunteer drivers, Operation Red Nose collects donations for local non-profit youth organizations such as KidSport.

Interested in becoming a volunteer driver? Drop off an application for at the Burnaby RCMP office at 6355 Deer Lake Ave. or any of the community police stations, along with two pieces of government ID to have a criminal record check done, or visit operationnezrouge.com/en/ region/burnaby for more information.

data to be accessed, analyzed and shared online.

3. Mobile Fitness Apps: Downloading mobile applications is familiar to most of us in 2013. Though we often use apps as time-wasters, did you know a number of great fitness apps are also available?

Most are free with the option to pay a small fee for added features. These apps can be used for everything from monitoring your diet (MyFitnessPal) and connecting with fellow fitness enthusiasts (Fitocracy, Gympact) to designing exercise routines (Workout Trainer, iMuscle) and tracking the distance, elevation change, pace and path of outdoor runs (GarminFit).

There are even apps to help you prepare for specific goals like completing a 5K run (CouchTo5K).

Now that’s what we call personalized innovation.

When used in conjunction with a well-designed exercise and nutrition routine, digital fitness aids can elevate your fitness to a new level and into the current millennium.

orkout tapes and spring-loaded novelty gadgets are in the past, while digital fitness tools are taking over in their place. So far, three main product offerings are leading the charge.

1. Interactive Fitness Games: The first true breakthrough in fitness gaming came in 2008 with the introduction of Wii Fit, which has since sold more than 20 million copies and spawned two sequels. Nintendo’s movement-sensing controllers and companion pressure-sensitive balance board allowed Wii Fit to track effort in a whole new way.

Competitors Sony and Microsoft wasted little time introducing physical feedback controllers of their own.

A recent step forward came in 2010 with the introduction of the Kinect device, a camera that tracks complex human

movement. It allows Xbox games like Nike+Kinect to assess exercise technique and offer real-time feedback with no other controller besides your body.

There are many similar games, and each can store your results to encourage progress.

A new generation of home consoles arrives this holiday season, which means a new round of upgraded fitness games.

Fitness games and hardware of the past will become vastly cheaper.

2. Wearable Fitness Trackers: With recent buzz about Google Glass and the Samsung Galaxy Watch, it’s clear the tech industry sees wearable devices are a future growth sector. The wearable fitness device is already a marketplace hit. These clip-ons, wristbands and watches constantly monitor steps taken, distance and locations travelled to, calories burned, heart rate, activity level, quality and quantity of sleep and much more.

All fitness trackers, such as the Nike+Fuel, Fitbit Flex and Jawbone Up writstbands and the Misfit Shine medallion, wirelessly transmit well-organized

THE HOLIDAY SEASON IS IN FULL SWING!

People are busy attending get-togethers or meeting friends to watch a game and some of these activities may involve a few drinks. If your festivities include alcohol, plan ahead for a safe ride home before you head out.

While attitudes towards drinking and driving have changed considerably since the launch of CounterAttack more than 35 years ago, there are still people who take chances or make excuses for drinking and driving.

Stay Safe this Holiday...

Please Don’t Drink & Drive

Impaired driving remains a leading cause of car crash fatalities in B.C. Every December, an average of five people are killed on our roads in crashes involving impaired driving.

These are preventable tragedies and that’s why police across the province are dedicated and will be out in full force targeting impaired drivers at CounterAttack roadchecks.

We all know that alcohol can affect one’s judgement, reaction time, coordination and visual functions. Behind the wheel that means it affects your ability to steer, control your speed and lane position, track moving objects and brake appropriately. And the truth is no amount of coffee, food or fresh air can sober you up.

We want everyone to enjoy a safe holiday season with their family and friends. If your festivities involve alcohol, here are a few tips to help make sure everyone gets home safely.

• Plan your safe ride home before you head out. Arrange for a designated driver or use other options to get home safely — call a taxi or Operation Red Nose, take transit or call a sober friend.

• Ask yourself if it’s your turn to be the designated driver.

Share the responsibility to help your friends and family get home safely.

Simon Fraser University finished among the top 10 teams in the country at its first-ever NCAA Division II national cross-country championships.

Clan senior Lindsey Butterworth, who placed fourth at the earlier West Region championships, finished in 12th place, the highest placing of all regional qualifiers.

Butterworth ran the six-kilometre circuit in a personal-best time of 21:23.7 to lead the Clan team to seventh place in the overall aggregate at the championships held in Spokane, Washington on Saturday.

“At the beginning of the season the goal was a top-10 finish, so we’re very happy with how things turned out,” said SFU head coach Britt Townsend in a Clan press release.

“We didn’t have Kansas (Mackenzie), who had to drop out with a stress fracture, and that was tough. She tried to compete and wanted to help the team, but she was in agony over the first two kilometres. Unfortunately that probably cost us 60 or 70 points that would have put us in the top four.”

Saturday will be an unfamiliar stage for the Simon Fraser University women’s rugby team.

The first-place SFU club side take on the Mudhens from Seattle in the first division Anna Schnell Cup championship at John Oliver Park on Saturday.

SFU last tasted victory in a championship final three seasons ago, when the Clan fashioned a 6-0 record en route to a Tier 2 title.

Since earning promotion to the premiership, SFU has steadily improved its product to the point of qualifying for the playoffs last year before being eliminated in the semifinals.

“The season has been very successful for us,” said SFU team captain Christina Burnham in a B.C. Rugby press release.

“It’s not just that we have gone undefeated this half, but we have made great strides as a team in several areas of our game. We have a very committed group of girls that push each other to improve their skills, fitness and work ethic each week.”

SFU leads the league in both offence and defence, piling up almost 400 points in just seven games, while allowing less than nine per outing.

The Clan showed its prowess with an earlier 71-17 victory over the Mudhens in league play.

Since then the Seattle club has rattled off five consecutive wins, including a 77-10 win over defending champion Bayside in the semifinals last weekend.

A key player to watch on the Mudhens is Ashley Kiniecik, who has scored 12 tries in just four games this season.

“We know their forward pack is strong in set pieces and at contact points, and we expect them to challenge us tight during open play,” Burnham said.

“They also have a lot of Rugby Page 43

Ceci led the Clan to a 7-1 victory over Trinity Western with a two-goal night,whileSandorchipped in with three assists in the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League matchup at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre on Saturday.

Yan Kalashnikov opened the scoring for the home team, but Josh McKissock put SFU into the lead for good, tallying the eventual unassisted game-winner in the final five minutes of

the opening period with his third goal of his rookie campaign.

SFU pulled away in the middle frame with three unanswered goals from Aaron Enns, Ceci and Colton Schock.

Mike Ball garnered his first of the year to close the contest late in the final period. Andrew Parent registered the win in goal.

SFU will entertain the University of Victoria on Saturday at the Copeland arena at 7 p.m.

The Clan will then close out the first-half of the season against Eastern Washington on Dec. 6 and 7.

Kids on the GO …

Doane College was as good as done in a dual wrestling meet with Simon Fraser University.

The Clan men’s wrestling team won all 10 matches at the one-on-one competition, sweeping the Nebraska school 45-0 last Saturday.

“The seniors all had convincing wins and Reid (Watkins) also impressed with a fall in his Clan debut,” SFU coach Abdou added.

Brock Lamb also scored a fall at 165 pounds in his first collegiate match.

NCAA All-American Skylor Davis opened with a major decision at 125 lbs.

Sukhan Chahal followed with a technical fall at 133 lbs.

But SFU’s stout defence and goalkeeping cannot be overlooked, having just allowed 17 goals to date this season.

“We’re an excellent attacking team, and (goalie) Brandon Watson is fantastic, and our team defence has set the stage for us to be successful,” added Koch.

“But honestly, we’re not even thinking about (the final). We’re just focusing on the next game. It sounds like a cliché, but you got to win a semifinal first.”

Double digits

Fourth-year guard Rachael Sider scored 14 points to help the University of Toronto to its first win of the women’s basketball season.

First career point

New Westminster Secondary grad Ariana Sider, a redshirt Clan freshman guard, scored her first career basket with the Simon Fraser University women’s team in the team’s 72-68 victory over San Francisco State University last Sunday.
