Headline makers and head shakers of 2013

New Year’s Eve is fast approaching – and, for those of us in the newsroom, what better time to pause, reflect and remember all that’s happened in Burnaby in 2013.

When it comes to news headlines, Burnaby has never been short of things to write about – from those stories that are very specifically local to those that garner national and even international headlines.

Earlier this month, the Burnaby NOW editorial team sat down to discuss the top stories of the year. Our collection of awards, honours and special mentions include The News Story of the Year, The Newsmaker

of the Year, and several other awards, such as our Quote of the Year, the Most High-Profile Hijacking Award and the Stuff of Which Childhood Nightmares Are Made Award.

Our choices are obviously subjective. How does one judge the relative merits of the controversy over pipelines versus the loud debate over animal rights? What criteria can be used to ensure heartwarming stories like Marwa O’Da’s don’t get overlooked?

We don’t pretend these “awards” can possibly touch on everything important that happened this year – but they do cover many of the highlights.

Being democratic about such things, we also polled readers to see what they chose as their story of the year.

To see their choice, turn to page 8.

To see the Newsmaker of the Year, and the start of more awards, turn to page 3. And don’t miss our If This Didn’t Melt Your Heart, Then You Must Be A Robot award on page 9.

A big thank you to all of our newsmakers and those who pass on news tips and ideas – we couldn’t do it without you!

NEWS STORY OF THE YEAR: ANIMALS MAKE THE HEADLINES

The story with the most legs – literally C

ountless letters, emails, Tweets, protest signs and barking mad advocates meant that the amendments to Burnaby’s animal control bylaw caused quite the spectacle in council chambers this past fall.

City staff had been working on amendments to the bylaw for about two years, after several animal advocates from far and wide made delegations to council asking for the removal of breed-specific legislation and to ban the sale of animals in pet stores.

Staff divided the animal control bylaw report in two: the first half dealing with pit bulls, dangerous dogs, exotic animals and raising the limit of two dogs per household to three; the second half concerning pet stores.

Animal advocates were shocked when staff came back not only keeping breed-specific legislation, which would keep pit bulls muzzled in city limits, but strengthening it, as well. City staff used what some considered dodgy evidence to back up their recommendation, including data that grouped several dog breeds under the large umbrella of “pit bulls” and compared it to single dog breeds, which skewed the numbers. The city’s own shelter and animal contractor, the Burnaby B.C. SPCA, expressed its opposition to breed-specific legislation.

Wave after wave of presentations were made to council, and the majority of letters piled in also opposed the staff report, but in the end each councillor and the mayor chose to keep pit bulls muzzled.

The reaction led to a quieter start to the debate over the second half of the animal control bylaw. Animal advocates were less surprised that staff decided to ban the sale of turtles but keep the sale of puppies, kittens and sterilized rabbits in pet stores – but it didn’t ease their disappointment.

When it came down to council making its final decision, pet store owners and animal advocates alike

NEWSMAKER OF THE YEAR: JANE SHIN

Will the real Dr. Shin please stand up?

Looking back over 2013, there was one local figure who rose above the rest when it came to controversy and drama: Burnaby’s newest MLA, Jane Shin.

The NDP announced Jane Shin’s candidacy for the Burnaby-Lougheed riding in fall 2012 and described as follows: “Educated in genetics and cell biology at University of British Columbia, Jane went on to receive her medical doctorate in 2007,” and “Dr. Shin has acquired a diverse set of skills and insight through her work as a physician.”

As spring rolled around, there were serious questions circulating about her professional background. Acting on an anonymous tip, the Liberals started monitoring Shin and her changing online biographies. Shin seemed to take the duck-and-cover approach and was increasingly difficult to get on the phone for an explanation.

As questions rose about Shin’s education, someone dug up an offensive comment she made on online more than a decade ago, saying she was fed up with the “chinkasauruses roaming about Vancouver.” This time, Vancouver MLA Jenny Kwan jumped to her defence and the NDP stood behind her, but Shin was still unavailable by phone.

As it turned out, Shin did have a medical degree (from a Caribbean school, not UBC) which technically allows her to use the doctor title, like anyone with a PhD. However, she has never practised and did not com-

A

s always, there were a few stories and people that clearly grabbed the headlines and earned the distinction of being our news story and newsmaker of the year.

But they weren’t the only ones that stuck in our minds when we looked back on the year that was.

So the Burnaby NOW editorial staff put their heads together and came up with this list of other “awards” to bestow upon the moments and the people who made our jobs – and our lives – just that much more interesting in 2013. We present our winners on pages 3, 4 and 9. See more at www. burnabynow.com.

Disappearing act: Burnaby-Lougheed MLA Jane Shin in the lead-up to the May 14 election. Shin’s campaign was plagued with controversy, and she was unavailable for comment in the weeks leading up to the election and for a short time afterwards. plete her residency, and she does not have a licence to practice in B.C. The anger around Shin’s campaign seemed to cross party lines and spread through the Lower Mainland Korean community.

Some New Democrats, however, were defensive of Shin, criticizing the controversy as a Liberal conspiracy.

The most bizarre twist came on election night, May 14, when Shin pulled a disappearing act.

NOW reporter Jennifer Moreau stopped by Shin’s office, but the lights were out and the door

was locked even though she had made a plan to meet the team there.

When the results came in, and it was clear Shin had won, she was still unavailable for comment and nowhere to be found.

Shin’s duck-and-cover tactic was backfiring, as NOW readers became increasingly irritated with her silence. It took some arm-twisting of certain NDP folks to finally get Shin on the phone, and by this time, her strange behaviour was making national headlines. Ten days after the election, the NOW ran

Shin’s explanation when other media outlets were still having a hard time getting a hold of her.

Shin chocked the confusion up to “misspoken points,” “misquotes” and “translation errors.”

Shin has since moved to the Burnaby-Lougheed riding (a good gesture, we think), but trust is a difficult thing to rebuild once broken. While Shin has done a good job of staying out of trouble lately, it may take a while before Burnaby-Lougheed residents can put faith in her.

Here’s to a fresh start in the new year.

BEST QUOTE OF THE YEAR

Bearing the city load This award often goes to city politicians, and this past year proved to be no exception.

The people with the most experience speaking to the masses often use the most colourful language, and one of the most colourful orators we have is Mayor Derek Corrigan.

Corrigan wins the award this year for his stated reason for running in the next civic election.

Visions* Shoppers Drug Mart* Staples Canada* Buy Low Foods Ltd.* Dell Home Solutions* Pizza Factory* Fair Market* * not in all areas

“I’m a mother bear protecting our interests,” he told the Burnaby NOW. “I know I’m going to have real separation anxiety when I’m no longer part of the decisions being made.”

Corrigan has served as mayor for the past 12 years.

In a city known for its green spaces and wildlife, aren’t we all just cubs under the careful, watching eye of Corrigan, our diligent den mother?

Our own Bermuda triangle You would think with all the tug-of-warring over the federal BurnabyDouglas riding this year that it would be considered the most cursed riding in the city.

But no, despite the fact that the riding was wiped out of existence to merge with the Burnaby NorthSeymour riding – making the New Democrats’ chances of holding it in the next election very tenuous indeed – there’s Harry Bloy still one former MLA other riding in the city that has suffered more.

While Bermuda has its triangle, Burnaby has its sextagon – the provincial Burnaby-Lougheed riding has become an unexpected realm of political intrigue and superstition.

The stretch of East Burnaby became infamous as the riding of former Liberal MLA Harry Bloy, who was embroiled in one controversy after another in recent years, most involving leaked documents.

The residents – and Liberal government, no doubt Jane Shin – breathed new MLA a collective sigh of relief when Bloy did not run in the May election.

But the political roller coaster was not over for residents of the riding.

During the election, a number of controversies surfaced about NDP candidate Jane Shin, namely that she had misrepresented her status as a practising medical doctor and had not been honest about her background in her election campaigning (see our Newsmaker of the Year story on page 3).

Despite this, Shin won the election.

It remains to be seen what Shin will do as MLA (particularly since the legislature is not in session), but Burnaby-Lougheed will be the riding to watch in our city for some time to come.

THE ‘MOST HIGHPROFILE HIJACKING’ AWARD

Greenpeace activists seize Burnaby terminal While the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion project has certainly been a prominent issue for locals and those beyond Burnaby’s borders, the situation became much more dramatic in October when Greenpeace protesters

seized Kinder Morgan’s Westridge Marine Terminal.

The Greenpeace action was timed to coincide with a speech from the throne in Ottawa, in which the federal government renewed its vow to

expand pipelines from Alberta to the Pacific through B.C. to get tar sands oil to foreign markets.

It certainly got us all talking about security issues at a facility that transports large quantities of oil products.

City to apply for intervenor status in Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

The City of Burnaby will be applying for intervenor status in the National Energy Board hearing over the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion.

Vancouver has already announced its intent to apply, and on Friday, Mayor Derek Corrigan confirmed with the NOW that Burnaby would do that same.

“We will apply for intervenor status in the new year. We have already put them on notice that we are opposed to the application, but we will formalize our status now that the application has been made,” Corrigan wrote in an email.

Kinder Morgan filed the application with the National Energy Board on Dec. 16. The board’s main task is to review the application and decide if the project is in Canada’s best interest. People can apply as intervenors (or file a letter of comment to the panel) in mid-January.

The board will decide who is allowed to participate. Intervenors have to be directly affected or have relevant information or expertise to share, and they can file written evidence and ask the applicant questions.

The board has to make sure the company’s application is complete, which should take three or four months, and then the hearing location and date can be announced.

The City of Burnaby has already come out against the expansion plan, which involves twinning the Trans Mountain pipeline. Kinder Morgan wants to increase capacity from 300,000 barrels of oil per day to 890,000, nearly triple current capacity.

The tank storage facility on Burnaby Mountain will also be doubled and the Westridge Marine Terminal will be expanded.

In the past, Corrigan has said that Alberta will receive most of the benefits of the expansion, while Burnaby will bear the brunt of the risks.

If the National Energy Board approves the expansion, tanker traffic in the Burrard Inlet will rise dramatically, from five to 34 tankers per month.

Suspect in crime spree arrested in city Vancouver police arrested a 40year-old man in Burnaby for an alleged string of robberies and sexual offences committed Thursday night.

According to police, the man brandished a gun at two women in an attempt to steal their purses and demanded one expose herself to him.

The suspect was arrested at a motel in Burnaby later that night

after patrol officers located his vehicle. Officers arrested the suspect and he remains in custody at this time, according to Const. Brian Montague, spokesperson for the Vancouver Police Department.

Police seized a replica pistol and property believed to belong the victim.

Montague said the suspect, who is known to police, has only been

living in the area for about five or six months. Police believe he has no fixed address at this time.

Several charges have been recommended. At press time, police expected them to be approved, Montague added.

dear to them.

Be it animal bylaws, trees or taxes, what mattered to these folks was that a local journalist spent time making sure that the facts, and their side of the issue, was conveyed to other people – our readers.

We are able to do that job because advertisers find value in the paper, because people read it. It’s a simple equation, but one, again, that is often lost in the buzz over bright new shiny gadgets.

It’s all about people.

So, we pause a moment to be grateful, not just for our warm abodes, but also for all the people in Burnaby who made a connection with us this past year and trusted us with their advertisements, stories, letters, photos, and much more. And, of course, a special thank you to all the paper carriers who trudge door-to-door no matter the weather to bring our work to you.

IN MY OPINION

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Mayor not at fault for this mess Dear Editor:

Re: Brentwood plans raise problems, Letters to the editor, Dec. 18.

I read the letter from G. Bruce Friesen, and I have to respectfully disagree with his opinion, at least in part. He seems to want to blame the mayor for everything that TransLink is doing, but the truth is that heavy-handed TransLink goes about things with no thoughts to how their asinine decisions are affecting the public.

Take a look at the mess they have created at Lougheed Town Centre, where the only way to get to the mall from the SkyTrain at this point, is to either climb two flights of stairs, or walk up two hills to get to the nearest entrance to the mall. As a

senior with mobility issues, I am forced to walk with a cane. For me, neither option is acceptable, because of the physical discomfort caused to my hips by either climbing hills or stairs. Because of the mess TransLink has created, I choose to not bother shopping at the Lougheed Mall at all, until it is easier to access.

Let’s also look at the nightmare TransLink has now created at Brentwood Town Centre for pedestrians with the closure of the bus loop, especially for those with mobility issues to access the mall proper from wherever the buses are presently stopping.

If TransLink was going to make access so difficult, they should at least have provided shuttle services, to and from the entrance to both the malls, until this construction is completed.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR TransLink is to blame continued from page 6

Any attempt to blame the mayor for this is ridiculous, when it is TransLink’s poor planning that is responsible. Perhaps if TransLink was under the direct control of the Metro Vancouver board’s control, then one could place blame on the local politicians, but presently TransLink seems to answer to nobody, and are a force unto themselves, who should never have been handed the power they have.

The TransLink organization should be disbanded and taken over by the provincial transportation department, with governance chosen by members of the local communities serviced by TransLink At least if it was part of the provincial government, we could then hold our provincial government responsible, but the way it is operated presently, the Liberals seems to have taken a hands-off approach and just shrug their shoulders, and pretend there is nothing they can do when TransLink once again, comes looking for more and more money to fund raises and

bonuses for their executives.

Cannabis will win out Dear Editor:

Although Sensible B.C. didn’t get enough signatures to make the next ballot, I’m writing to encourage citizens in British Columbia and all Canadians to continue hope and the good fight (Just a matter of time before pot is legalized, Burnaby NOW, Our View, Dec. 10) to end discrimination towards citizens who use the God-given plant cannabis (marijuana). The majority of North American’s support ending this government subsidized discrimination and the day will come when the injustice is over and people look back and ask how on earth cannabis prohibition ever started to begin with?

As a Colorado citizen who helped RElegalize cannabis for sick citizens over a decade ago and completely RE-legalize the plant a year ago, I can assure Canadians, the vile ignorance will end.

Comment via BurnabyNOW.com I Nathan Bauman: This article states “Under Canadian immigration law, anyone who was a member of an organization that spied on a democratic government is not allowed to stay in the country, unless the public safety minister deems they are not detrimental to national security.” I am not sure if this is a fully accurate statement, but it certainly points out the hypocrisy of the conservative government’s position on this when it directs our own “Security Communications Establishment Canada” to engage in economic espionage on the democracy that is Brazil. Lennikov has repented of his past work for the KGB but our Prime Minister has not repented for spying on Brazil and other democracies. Quite aside from the morality of forgiveness and allowing this family to stay together, Lennikov should have been a boon for our own security services. It is foolish as well as mean-spirited to kick out this man. Let him stay.

Comment via BurnabyNOW.com I Lubomyr Luciuk: When and how has Lennikov repented for having voluntarily served in the ranks of the notorious Communist secret police? Never.

Comment via BurnabyNOW.com I Nathan Bauman: I call BS on this claim. Mr. Lennikov left the KGB of his own accord and disclosed the fact that he had worked in it when he came to Canada. In this article, he says that he left as soon as he could.

Those actions and those words sound a lot like regret to me. And that’s just the information in this one article. Furthermore, in order to make the claim that you have made, you would have to have the ability to peer into Mr. Lennikov’s brain every hour of every day in order to be sure that he had never been sorry for joining the KGB.

READERS’ CHOICE: TOP NEWS STORY

Readers choose pipeline as top story for 2013 It was a close race, but the Kinder Morgan pipeline proposal prevailed as our readers’ top choice for story of the year.

Of the 155 people who voted in our online poll, the pipeline debate earned 45 per cent of the vote.

The proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion has been making local (and sometimes national) headlines for well over a year.

On Dec. 16, the company finally filed its application with the National Energy Board, triggering the start of the official review process.

It’s no surprise the pipeline debate is top of mind for Burnaby NOW readers.

If the project is approved, it could drastically alter the Lower Mainland, turning the Burrard Inlet into a major oil exporting port. The pipeline’s terminus is in Burnaby, and the tank farm facility on Burnaby Mountain and the Westridge Marine Terminal would also have to be expanded. Kinder Morgan wants to nearly triple

capacity on the pipeline, which would also increase tanker traffic from five to 34 vessels per month.

While some Burnaby residents are understandably nervous about the proposal – remember the 2007 rupture that left several local homes coated with crude?

– others are staunchly opposed. Greenpeace activists chained themselves to the company’s Westridge Marine Terminal this past October, and the city is home to the Burnaby Residents Opposing Kinder Morgan Expansion, a grassroots residents’ group against the project.

Kinder Morgan has been running a tight PR campaign, touting the benefits of the expansion, but one thing’s for sure: the company will face opposition from local residents and the City of Burnaby, which is planning to apply for intervenor status in the National Energy Board hearing.

The runner up for the readers’ choice was Burnaby’s development

boom, which will very likely change the face of the city.

The development issue came in close second, with 43 per cent of the vote.

TransLink came in a distant third, with only six per cent of the vote, trailed by the rogue dentist story (four per cent), and the animal bylaw brouhaha was a dead last at three per cent.

While our poll is nonscientific, the last place winner was a bit surprising for the NOW editorial team, as we chose the animal bylaw issue as the top story. This hot-button issue generated considerable letters to our paper and attendance at city hall meetings (see our story on page 1).

Perhaps it goes to show that a loud and vocal group can make a news story seem bigger than it actually is.

As for your top two choices, we are sure development and the pipeline will be supplying us with many stories in the years to come.

What started as story of loss and separation last June became a tale of love conquering all – civil war, borders, two years in different countries and statelessness – by September.

Marwa O’da’s tale of separation from fiancé Wissam Nassar touched people in the community enough that they came together to bring her to Burnaby from Syria, where she was a stateless refugee – and the campaign to bring her home moved both reporters and readers.

Nassar was able to leave behind the war and crowded refugee camps to come to Canada in 2011 with his parents and brother when the family was sponsored

by Ian Macdonald’s family. The family, along with Macdonald’s former congregation at the South Burnaby United Church, began a campaign to bring Nassar’s fiancée to him, as well.

20 Top 5 Things To Do

22 Helping to fight hunger

SECTION COORDINATOR Jennifer Moreau, 604-444-3021 jmoreau@burnabynow.com

Helping hands

Staff and students at Byrne Creek Secondary were busy spreading Christmas cheer during the school’s annual hamper drive.

They surpassed their goal of collecting enough donated items for 65 hampers and ended up with 78.

The hampers, which include $150 gift certificates for groceries, go to families in need that have students enrolled at Byrne Creek.

Grade 12 student Bryan Lee helped collect items from school staff and students.

“I think it’s important because for a lot of us, the food we eat is taken for granted. It’s important we help (low-income) families enjoy the winter months,” he said.

A bounty:

Burnaby students get into the giving spirit THE STUDENTS’ VIEW

Jane Leung and Kendra Ho

I

n spirit of the holidays, the feeling of giving was definitely in the air, and multiple Burnaby schools made a difference in the lives of many this Christmas. Through school-wide activities and fundraisers, the schools aimed to do as much as possible for the underprivileged in our community and around the world.

Take Burnaby South Secondary, for example; the school’s Interact club organized

Operation Christmas Child, where the students get shoeboxes from Willingdon Church and fill the boxes with necessities and other small Christmas gifts. The students get to choose whether they want to send the boxes to a boy or a girl of any age they wish, and they customize their boxes however they like. After the boxes are filled, each student puts in a $7-donation, and the boxes are shipped to different parts of the world such as Asia, Africa and South America.

Although this may be a new concept for some, Burnaby South has been doing this for years.

Across town, Burnaby North Secondary didn’t hold anything back, either. Each year the school as a whole sets a target amount of money to fundraise, and this year’s target was $10,000.

The school-wide activities are

called Christmas Cheer, and all the funds go to the Burnaby Children’s Fund, a charity that helps children in poverty. Raising money through Christmas Cheer involves selling Christmas cards and cookie dough. Small things like this make a difference when the whole school is involved, and the students have managed to surpass their target in previous years.

Smaller schools like École Alpha and École Cariboo Hill are doing many things for their community. Alpha’s teachers have donated money towards grocery store gift cards for the families of students at their school. The students in the ACE-IT hairdressing program are giving haircuts and styles for free to those who donate five or more cans to the Vancouver Food Bank – quite the original idea. Cariboo Hill

has been doing its share as well, donating to the Vancouver Food Bank as well as selling bracelets to raise money for the popular Me to We Foundation. Cariboo is also teaming up with local elementary schools to provide Christmas hampers filled with food and clothes, basic essential for families in the community: it’s a way of giving that seems to be very common this season. Byrne Creek is another school that creates hampers with their annual Holiday Hamper Drive, and it’s proven to be quite successful.

This year they’ve created more than 65 hampers for the families of their students in need.

Being students ourselves, we know that when the holidays roll around, the school becomes busy.

Students are going around asking for donations, it seems there’s a different bake sale every week

held by student government, and teachers are in heated competitions over whose class can raise more money or collect more non-perishable food. Sometimes it gets hard and participation becomes weak. We forget to give, but then the realization hits, and we think, “Why not?” Why not bring in a couple of cans, or a few bucks? The school is making it easy for us – effortless really. All we have to do is participate and bring in what we have to offer.

We forget just how big of an impact all the schools have and all the revenue we bring in for many foundations and charities.

It just goes to show how every single student and teacher can make a big difference just by participating.

Jane Leung and Kendra Ho are Grade 11 students at Cariboo Hill Secondary School.

Dispatchers spread real warmth with Burnaby senior Cayley Dobie staff reporter

A Burnaby senior is a little warmer this week after receiving a special gift thanks to the kindness of an E-Comm dispatcher.

When Janie Fumo, a call taker at EComm – the emergency communications centre for southwest B.C – received a phone call from a Burnaby senior looking for the address of the nearest Canadian Tire, she never expected it would end

with a spur of the moment fundraiser at E-Comm headquarters.

On Dec. 9, Fumo was answering calls on the non-emergency line when a 97year-old woman called in. The woman was looking for the address of Canadian Tire so she could go buy a heater for her apartment in Burnaby. She had seen the heater in the store’s flyer, but there wasn’t a location close to her home.

“I had my partner look (the address) up and she said ‘Oh, it’s moved to Market

Crossing and the other one is going to be in Vancouver, at Grandview and Renfrew,’” she recalled.

Fumo told the senior where the two locations were, and the senior responded by asking her which bus she should take to get to the Vancouver location.

“She’s asking how to get to the SkyTrain and once she gets off there what bus does she take,” she said.

Fumo and her colleague Hadley Hart devised a plan to split the cost of a heater

and take it to the woman, rather than have her travel across the city via transit. So Fumo went and asked her supervisor for permission to buy the heater and deliver it. Much to Fumo’s surprise, her supervisor suggested she ask the other staff at E-Comm if they too wanted to donate to the cause.

“So I did, and within an hour and a half we had enough money to buy her a really Senior Page 12

good heater and $60 leftover. It was so awesome,” she said.

After the money was collected, another one of Fumo’s colleagues offered to go and buy the heater on her lunch break. By this time, Fumo had reached out to the Burnaby RCMP who agreed to send over an officer to pick up the heater, deliver it to the Burnaby senior by the end of the day and donate another $40 to the cause.

“They delivered it and showed her how to use it. It was so cute,” she said.

The next day, Fumo received a second phone call from the senior to thank her.

“She said, ‘This morning, I had a blanket and a sweater on, and the minute I plugged it in, I took my sweater and blanket off,’” she said. “At the end of the day it wasn’t about the heater, it wasn’t about every body else.”

Lee will work under Virk’s direction and with the program’s advisory committee, acting as a liaison with the broader community, according to the release.

“A public school of traditional Chinese medicine enhances the breadth of opportunities offered in our provincial system,” Lee said in the release. “It will add to our world- Richard Lee renowned brand and, new appointment once open, will deliver on a promise we made to B.C.” The idea for a traditional Chinese medical school harks back to a Liberal thronespeech promise made in February. twitter.com/JenniferMoreau

Ray & Tom Magliozzi

Dear Tom and Ray: When driving down the freeway, I heard a scraping sound, shortly followed by my car slowing down, no matter how hard I pushed on the gas. I barely made it to the service road without getting hit by other traffic.

Platinum model shown#

When the tow truck driver came, he noticed green liquid (coolant) leaking out. The mechanic towed the car and said my water pump had frozen, and that broke my timing belt. He said it was the first time he had ever seen it, and he doesn’t know of a way I could have avoided it. I need to know if it was something I did, that I can avoid doing in the future. I am paranoid about the situation and worried that it will happen again.

Thanks!

TOM: You don’t tell us what kind of car you drive, but I’m guessing it’s something with a noninterference engine. Cars with interference-style engines get ruined when their timing belts break.

It sounds like you were lucky, and you avoided that grisly fate; you got off with just an expensive repair and a severe travel disruption!

that you change your car’s timing belt after a certain number of miles – 60,000 miles used to be common.

Now lots of manufacturers suggest 90,000 miles.

TOM: If you don’t change the timing belt, it can break on its own due to age and use. But on almost every car we see, the timing belt also runs the water pump (which circulates coolant in the engine). In other words, the timing belt goes around a waterpump pulley, and as the belt turns, it makes the Maintenance Page17

Opportunity to Comment on YVR Add Fare Variance

The South Coast British Columbia Transportation Commission, the independent regulator of TransLink, is seeking public comment on TransLink’s recent application to vary the YVR AddFare.

Specifically, TransLink wishes to apply the YVR AddFare to DayPasses purchased on Sea Island and single fares purchased with Compass Card Stored Value for trips leaving Sea Island.

Customers travelling with monthly passes (and certain other passes) will be exempt from the YVR AddFare. TransLink also intends to exempt airport employees and Burkeville residents.

WHEELS Deals

Carriertheof Week

Maintenance: Best trouble prevention water pump’s impeller spin. But if the water pump fails and seizes up, like yours did, it takes the timing belt with it.

RAY: So to prevent this in the future, you have to do a better job of maintaining your car, Joanna.

TOM: For instance, it’s possible your water pump was failing and you just didn’t notice the horrible growling sound coming from your engine compartment. Or you don’t see a mechanic regularly, so no one else had a chance to notice it.

RAY: Or maybe you were

a good car owner, and you had your timing belt changed when it was supposed to be, but to save a little money, you or your mechanic didn’t change the water pump at the same time. That’s pennywise and thousand-dollar foolish, in our opinion TOM: Yeah. We’d never change a customer’s timing belt without changing the water pump, too, for the very reason that caused you to write to us – that’s what can happen.

And then they come back and blame us for it!

RAY: Also, we tend to use factory water pumps rather than aftermarket pumps

for this repair, because the risks, if the water pump fails, are so severe.

TOM: So, how do you prevent this in the future? Get better about your regular maintenance. Find a mechanic you trust (if you don’t already have one, find one at the Mechanics Files at cartalk.com). And take your car in on a regular basis. Even if it’s just for an oil-and-filter change every six months, at least someone has a chance to notice when something is going terribly wrong.

RAY: And spend a cozy evening curling up with your owner’s manual (that’s the thing that’s still

Congratulations to

wrapped in cellophane in your glove box). Read the maintenance section, and see what sorts of things are required at different mileage intervals. A good mechanic can help you determine which items are absolutely necessary. But here’s a hint: Changing the timing belt and water pump is one of them!

Good luck, Joanna.

The Pride of Business in Burnaby The Festival of Lights brings a focus for Burnaby business owners and managers to support kids in our community through the Rotary Club of Burnaby Deer Lake. “The Boots for Kids” project provides elementary school children with winter footwear to keep them warm and dry. The need is there as we have seen children going to school in summer sneakers, even flip flops.

You can be proud when your business sponsors a tree at Brentwood Town Centre this Christmas season. Thousands of people see your support for Burnaby’s children. See our list of sponsors below and we hope you will join them.

T

he year is coming to a close, but there are still plenty of fun ways to finish off the holiday season in Burnaby.

From train rides to bike races, there is lots happening in the city.

Here’s our Top 5 list for Dec. 27 to 29.

Get a deal at the boxing week sales throughout the city.

Many of the smaller shops as well as the big box stores offer deals all throughout the week – not just on Boxing Day itself.

If you’re not quite done with the consumer frenzy that took place before Christmas, get back out there and find yourself something nice – or maybe start shopping for next Christmas. (Is anyone that organized?)

Get chug chug chugging along at the Santa Express miniature train at Lougheed Town Centre.

The train runs until Dec. 28, so if you missed out before Christmas, take the kids down for a ride before it shuts down for the season.

Help for new lunch program A fundraising team with the Global Liberty Foundation is helping Burnaby Mountain Secondary establish a new breakfast program for disadvantaged youth.

“Team Stretchmasters” secured a $2,000 donation from the Burnaby Firefighters Charitable Society, as well as donated food and gift cards, to start a healthy breakfast program at Burnaby Mountain Secondary.

The Global Liberty

Help: Team Stretchmasters raised money for a new healthy breakfast program at Burnaby Mountain Secondary, with the help of the Burnaby Firefighters Charitable Society.

Foundation is a non-profit philanthropic group that supports various projects around the world.

The program will feed 30 disadvantaged kids, according to Team Stretchmasters, and the group wants to fundraise more in the future to help other schools with similar meal programs.

Double good: Nayo Raincock-Ekunwe took the SFU women’s hoop program

to a first-ever NCAA tournament and proved herself to be one of the best-ever players in the game.

SFU only became an official member of the national athletic association in the 2012/13 season.

Raincock-Ekunwe set a

new conference record for double-doubles in her first season in the NCAA and broke that mark the following year with 24.

Later in the year, Raincock-Ekunwe earned a spot on the Canadian women’s national basketball team.

Rebels make good at Emily tourney The Burnaby South Rebels girls’ basketball team made the best of an unlucky draw at the Tournament for Emily at Riversity Secondary.

The Rebels finished up with backto-back wins following 77-55 semifinal loss to provincial No. 1-ranked Brookswood Bobcats on Dec. 20.

Desiree Lister led South to 3-1 overall record at the 16-team, scoring a team-high 16 points in a 65-62 win over Alberta’s Western Redman.

Jasmine Manhas added 12 points, while Teinajia Colley had 10 for the Rebels.

Earlier in the day, Lister put up 24 points in South’s 76-59 victory over Charles Best in the consolation round. Amie Morrison also netted 13 points for South.

South opened the Port Coquitlam tournament with a 64-35 win over Terry Fox. Ana Lukic and Manhas led the way with 19 and 17 points, respectively.

In the semifinal versus Brookswood, South gave the Bobcats all they could handle in the opening half despite a short bench due.

With just six healthy players, the

Rebels kept pace with the Langley powerhouse, tying Brookswood 3333 at halftime, while trailing by just nine points heading into the final quarter.

Manhas led the Rebels with 17 points, while Lister and Selena Doyle chipped in with 12 and nine points, respectively.

“Not too many teams finished ahead of us. We gave Brookswood a really good scare,” said South coach Amar Manhas. “I think it gained us a lot of confidence.” tberridge@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby South Rebels finished in 10th place at the B.C. AAA high school boys’ basketball championships in Langley, where they helped set an all-time, two-team record for most points scored in a 109-105 win over South Kamloops.

Louisa Tsang won the Myriam Bedard award as most outstanding youth female athlete at the national cadet biathlon championships.

SFU lost in overtime to Selkirk College in the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League championship final.

The SFU Clan women’s basketball team made it the first-ever NCAA Division II West Region final in the program’s history.

The Burnaby Winter Club won the peewee A1 and A2 hockey provincial banners.

Burnaby Mountain Wrestling Club won both the senior and junior men’s titles at the Canadian championships.

N

NayoRaincock-Ekunwe began her university basketball career at Simon Fraser University as an all-rookie nominee and a CIS national championship title.

The 6-2 Clan forward finished her tenure as one of the best women’s basketball players to ever play in the NCAA Division II. Despite just three years of eligibility in the NCAA, Raincock-Ekunwe broke the Great Northwest conference all-time record with 49 double-doubles in her final year.

Earlier in the season, she also set a new conference record with 24 rebounds in one game.

Raincock-Ekunwe helped SFU to the program’s first-ever appearance in the NCAA sweet 16 West Region final. She was later named a second team All-American, one of many post-season accolades for the fifth-year senior.

In her final season with the Clan, RaincockEkunwe was named the Great Northwest women’s basketball player of the year. Her field goal average of 66.1 per cent led the nation.

She finished the year, averaging a conference third-best 16.9 points per game and a Great Northwest-leading 12.7 rebounds a game.

Raincock-Ekunwe earned first team all-conference honours for a third straight season – just the second-ever player in history to do so.

Her unoffical 63 career double-doubles are also the third-best all-time in NCAA Div. II, but cannot be recognized because

Itzia San Roman won a silver medal in the allaround at the B.C. artistic gymnastics championships in Prince George.

The City of Burnaby played host to the Esso Cup national midget girls’ hockey championships.

The Burnaby Winter Club and Burnaby Central Secondary School together formed a midget hockey academy that will compete in the Canadian Sports School Hockey League this fall.

Burnaby Winter Club had three bantam A1 skaters taken in the first round of the Western Hockey League draft, including Northwest Giants defenceman Dante Fabbro, seventh overall by Seattle.

May: The Burnaby Selects won Coastal A Cups in both u-16 and u-18 boys’ soccer divisions.
