Pipeline safety plans on the drawing board T

he school district has come up with a safety plan for schools to deal with pipeline-related emergencies, the NOW has learned. The plan outlines response recommendations for two pipeline scenarios: rupture of a line during excavation or an underground leak. The plan asks schools to identify major pipelines by looking for the telltale yellow Kinder Morgan pipeline signs. If those are found within 100 metres of the buildings, there should ON MY BEAT be an alternative evacuation Jennifer Moreau route and a safe destination away from the release site, the document explains. According to the plan, signs of an underground pipeline rupture can include a hissing or roaring sound, liquid on the ground near the pipeline, dirt blown into the air, fire or a dense white cloud, and the strong scent of petroleum. In that case, teachers are supposed to evacuate the area immediately, administer first aid if needed and notify administration, which will then call the Trans Mountain emergency line. In the case of a rupture during excavation, which happened in Burnaby’s Westridge neighbourhood in 2007, teachers follow the same protocol, and administrators will call 911, as well as Trans Mountain, the pipeline operator. For ruptures, teachers should assess the situation based on the proximity of the

reviewed the plan and sent some suggestions to the district. Association president James Sanyshyn has more questions about specifics for each school. “The plan looks pretty good as a first draft. I would say what they need to make sure is to create school-specific plans,”

Sanyshyn said. “We haven’t seen those. We just got the generic template from the district.” The teachers’ association also suggested schools hold drills for an environmental Schools Page 9

Councillors offer mixed reviews on four-year terms Stefania Seccia staff reporter

Burnaby council mostly welcomes a four-year cycle, if the province follows through with its proposal to extend terms by one year for councillors and school trustees. The B.C. government is intending to pass legislation during the current session

to change local elections from three-year to four-year terms beginning with the upcoming election in November. Coun. Dan Johnston said he supports the four-year term because the third year is usually spent in election mode. “The third year tends to be hijacked by the political agenda as opposed to the business of the community,” Johnston told the NOW. “I think an extra year will bring

more continuity to the people’s business.” Overall, Johnston said one more year isn’t a big deal. But Coun. Colleen Jordan does not share that view. Jordan said having a fourth year added to her term could impact her decision to run. “It makes it a harder decision to run,” she added. “I want to retire before a cer-

Mayor Corrigan: ‘... and fight we will’ Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan spent Tuesday night rallying the troops at a town hall meeting for opponents of the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion. The meeting was held at Cameron Elementary with roughly 200 people in the audience, many of who applied as intervenors in the National Energy Board hearing. “We’ve decided as a city to stand up and fight, and fight we will,” Corrigan said. Corrigan told the audience that the city, which has also applied for intervenor status, has hired lawyer Gregory McDade to prepare Burnaby’s case. According to Corrigan, McDade needs petitions and comments from Burnaby residents opposed to the pipeline, to help build his case. “It’s up to you to go out and get those signatures, to ensure people are aware and they are prepared to stand up and make their position known to the National Energy Board,” Corrigan said. “We have the opportunity to show them how a community can come together to fight against multinational corporations imposing their will on average citizens.” After the speech, Zeralynne Te, from the city’s planning department, gave a presentation on how Kinder Morgan’s plan has changed over time and what the impacts would be if the expansion were approved. Te also raised concerns about emergency response for residents if the city’s first responders are tied up with an oil spill. “I can tell you, if there was a major accident in the Shellmont system, that would deplete all of the city’s resources,” she said referring to the oil storage tanks on Burnaby Mountain. According to the presentation, areas that will be impacted by the expansion include Westridge, Forest Grove, Lake City and Lougheed Town Centre, as well as conservation areas around the Brunette River and

Dipak Dattani, from the city’s engineering department, raised concerns that Kinder Morgan overlooked the storm drain system when drafting maps. (Crude oil escaped through sewer drains in the 2007 pipeline rupture in Burnaby’s Westridge neighbourhood.) First Nations representatives also spoke, including Carleen Thomas from the TsleilWaututh Nation. Helesia Luke, assistant for MP Kennedy Stewart, told the crowd that her office would continue to help hearing applicants. Ben West from ForestEthics said he felt “as strongly as ever before” that the pipeline would not be built, and that the fight could

make B.C.’s War in the Woods look like a cakewalk. He also raised the possibility of First Nations’ legal action, which could interfere with the project. “This may be the trump card to stop these projects from going forward,” West said.

CN Rail has started a major cleanup of metallurgical coal that spilled into fish-bearing Silver Creek, a tributary of Burnaby Lake, after a train derailment almost two months ago. CN, which has hired consultants Triton Environmental to help with the operation, has estimated 5.5 cubic metres of coal lies in Silver Creek and 76 cubic metres were carried downstream into Burnaby Lake.

The B.C. Ministry of Environment has allowed CN – the company responsible for the spill – to proceed with the cleanup after several weeks of preliminary assessment and development of a recovery plan. “CN is providing the expertise, resources and funding to fully remediate the effects” of the spill, CN spokesperson Emily Hamer said. Christine Ensing, environmental services officer for the City of Burnaby, said Wednesday it took time to come up with an environmental plan that would not cause further damage to wildlife. That would include salmon eggs in

She said she is pleased with the cleanup to date. Hamer added that high flows and saturation of the area added to delays. Seven cars of a 152-car Canadian Pacific

A Burnaby man is dead following a backcountry snowboarding accident. The 29-year-old from Burnaby was found unresponsive by a friend during a ski and snowboard trip on Feb. 23 near Miller’s Ridge Forest Service Road, according to a media release from B.C. RCMP. The men were part of a group of friends who had ridden snowmobiles into the area to do some backcountry skiing and snowboarding. One of the snowboarders was waiting for his friend at the bottom of a hill, but decided to walk back up when his friend never showed up. On his way up the hill, he found his friend upside down

in a tree well, the release added. According to police, the man was able to pull the Burnaby man from the well, but he “was unresponsive, blue and not breathing.” “The snowboarder and others began CPR, however were unable to revive their friend,” the release stated. According to police, both search and rescue and Pemberton RCMP, along with coroners were on scene on Monday, Feb. 24 to retrieve the man’s body. Police have not released the name of the victim. – Cayley Dobie

Cleanup: Habitat a ‘high priority’ continued from page 3

train operated by a CN crew on CN tracks derailed on Jan. 11; four cars stayed upright but three tipped over spilling coal. The ministry said in a statement that CN’s recovery plan for the coal includes protective measures for the stream bed, streamside buffers, and protection of downstream water and sediment quality. “Protecting painted turtle overwintering habitat and stream spawning areas are a high priority in the recovery plan,” the statement said. The work area has been closed to the public, including a portion of the Brunette Headwaters Trail and most of the picnic area between Cariboo Dam and Silver Creek.

CN primarily plans to use “suction dredging” to remove the coal, pumping the recovered coal-water mixture through filters to remove coal particles and sediments before discharging the water back into the creek. Crews will also use smaller Shop Vacs as well as shovels and buckets on more remote sections of Silver Creek. Turtles and their eggs will be removed from the work area, while a turtle beach will be restored and basking logs cleaned. “Burnaby Lake Regional Park will be restored back to similar conditions upon completion of the work,” CN says. The company refused to provide a cost estimate for the cleanup, which is expected to take weeks.

staff reporter

It’s been nearly 12 years since Amanda Zhao was murdered, and her family is still waiting for closure. The 21-year-old international student from China was living in a north Burnaby basement suite with her boyfriend Ang Li and his cousin Han Zhang, when she went for a walk to a nearby grocery store on Oct. 9, 2002. She never came back. Eleven days later, Zhao’s body was found stuffed in a suitcase near Stave Lake in Mission. Her boyfriend and his cousin were later charged in relation to her murder, but by then it was too late – both had left the country. Li, who reported Zhao missing, wasn’t a suspect in the initial investigation into Zhao’s disappearance and eventual homicide. Shortly after her body was found, Li returned to China. It wasn’t until Li’s cousin was arrested in December 2002 that investigators began suspecting the 18-year-old boyfriend. Police formally charged Li with seconddegree murder in May 2003, but because Canada has no extradition treaty with China, Li couldn’t be forced to return to stand trial. Amanda Zhao’s family emailed Jenny Kwan, MLA for VancouverMount Pleasant, pleading for information on their daughter’s case. It was so moving, Kwan said, she had to help them. “It was such an incredible cry for help,” she said. “They were thousands of miles away, they had language barriers, they had financial barriers, their only daughter was murdered, and they had no ability to find out any information

about this.” With help from Mike Farnworth, MLA for Port Coquitlam, Kwan invited the Zhaos to Canada to speak with investigators and government officials overseeing their daughter’s case. In October 2008, the Zhao family travelled to Burnaby. While their visit provided some insight into what happened to their daughter, many questions remained unanswered. Despite many setbacks, including a media frenzy surrounding the handling of the Zhao case by Burnaby RCMP, Li was charged with second-degree murder in July 2009. It would be another two years before Li would

stand trial for murdering his girlfriend. In 2012, a Chinese court found Li guilty of killing Zhao and sentenced him to life in prison. In response, the Zhao family sent a letter to Kwan and a number of Canadian officials thanking them for their work on the case. In the letter, Zhao’s parents described the investigation process as a long and painful experience, one that would stay with them forever. “The road to justice has been long and difficult. During that time, we felt hopeless and despair. Justice was beyond our reach,” the letter stated. “It has been 10 years. We

running through their neighbourhoods. After all, some of these pipelines have been underground for several decades. In 2013, residents opposing the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion called on the education minister to come up with safety plans for schools situated near or on the pipeline. As Kinder Morgan’s new pipeline expansion application moves forward, it’s clear that many city residents weren’t even aware that a pipeline ran through

or by their neighbourhood or their children’s school. Currently, only Stoney Creek and Forest Grove schools have a pipeline near them. But if the new pipeline expansion plan is approved, five more schools may have pipelines running by them. Those schools are Seaforth, Cameron, Westridge, Lochdale, Montecito and Burnaby Mountain Secondary. By then, we hope, there’ll be thorough safety plans for all.

IN MY OPINION

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Plan does nothing for families Dear Editor:

28.

Re: Skyscraper stirs debate, Burnaby NOW, Feb.

In fairness to the mayor and as a regular pedestrian and cyclist, I am excited about the mayor’s suggestion “to build a bike and pedestrian path … to connect the Heights with Brentwood.” A safe bike and pedestrian route along Willingdon is long overdue. On the other hand, it will be interesting to see how well Confederation Park and the pool absorb the additional clientele. And, while I will agree with the former CEO and president of the Burnaby Board of Trade that “rental stock is very much needed” and is indeed “a

part of this particular development,” I wonder how affordable it will be in any of the proposed towers. For example, a fourth-floor, 1257-square-foot apartment at the Jewel II in Metrotown can be purchased for $898,000. I don’t know about Ms. Gering, but such a home is certainly “out of reach” for my dual income family of four. I also agree “single-detached housing … is out of reach for young families,” but so is the average three-bedroom apartment in a town centre. An additional challenge for families with children is a preference investor landlords have for student renters, who are usually willing to pay more and are shorter term. Shape’s proposal will do nothing for young families in the area.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Vision is unsustainable continued from page 6

The city has the resources to create affordable rental housing close to SkyTrain, but it doesn’t have a plan or the will to make it happen. Make no mistake about it. The bylaw amendment allowing for these 50 to 70 storey towers popping up around the city,” s-zoning,” is about self-interest. The city and highrise developers can “green-wash” it all they want with cycle paths, electric charging stations and free transit passes. Or scare us with talk of doing something for Burnaby’s portion of the 40,000 newcomers coming to the province every year, or of dealing with the expected incoming of 30,000 people over the next 20 years. The bottom line is that more floors equals more profits to developers and more taxes to the city to keep their unsustainable vision alive. Rick McGowan, Burnaby

Residents right to worry Dear Editor:

Re: Skyscraper stirs debate, Burnaby NOW, Feb. 28. I empathize with the concerns of some residents of the Brentwood neighbourhood about the redevelopment of the Brentwood Mall by Shape Properties. This company proposes to redevelop Lougheed Mall too. A public open house was held a Cameron Recreation Centre on Feb. 14. The display panels showed bird’s-eye views of the redevelopment plans and appealing photographs of streetscapes and plazas taking in other locations. Several of the plan and elevation drawings hinted at skyscrapers in the redevelopment. But there were no artist’s perspective renderings to reveal the final appearance of the redevelopment. The emphasis in the presentation was on internal pedestrian and vehicle movement. But the display offered no infor-

mation on the four new intersections on Cameron Street and Austin Road (in addition to the five existing accesses). Why didn’t Shape Properties present information by its traffic engineering consultant on the level of service of these intersections at full build-out? City of Burnaby planning has to be more forthcoming on these types of redevelopments if it wants to avoid the blowback it is experiencing from Brentwood residents. Will southeast Burnaby be next to rebel?

Who’s the ‘political’ one? Dear Editor:

It seems that if you are not in synch or inline with the mayor of Burnaby’s pet projects you are labelled “political.” This is curious, especially coming from the mayor of Burnaby, who is one of the savviest “politicals” around. Oddly enough, the Community Charter under which the City of Burnaby operates states in Chapter 26 Part 2 Division 1 Paragraph 6 (1) that: “A municipality is a corporation of the residents of its area.” This labelling of the citizen residents of Burnaby who do not agree with the mayor as “political” shows contempt for democracy and denies the dissenting residents inclusion in the public debate (or lack of it) and further shows disregard for the public process of debate and input to which we are all entitled. Consultation is defined as an exchange of opinions: a discussion aimed at ascertaining opinions or reaching an agreement. So far, all consultations on the Brentwood redevelopment have been rather one-sided, and no attempt at reaching agreement on differences has been made. Council tells us what we should be agreeing to. The mayor’s motives are as transparent as the king’s new clothes. Darcy Olson, by email

Beijing is in regular contact with Chinese authorities about this case. To date, the appeal of the defendant is still under review. We anticipate that the Embassy will be informed when the review is completed,” said Ian Trites, spokesperson for the department, in an email to the NOW. While the appeal is under review, Trites said the government is not in a position to comment on the case but continues to assist the Zhao family from its embassy in Beijing. But until that day comes – when the decision is made or announced – Kwan said she will continue to petition the government for answers. “The family asked me directly to help them, and I said I would,” she added.

Our hearts are bleeding!!! … Today’s verdict finally brings us closure for seeking justice for our daughter.” The court ruling, however, was immediately appealed by Li’s family and heard in Chinese court in January 2013. It’s been more than a year since Li’s appeal was heard, and Zhao’s family is still waiting for the court’s decision. “The family has had no information about the appeal since that time, so we do not know what the outcome is,” Kwan told the NOW. “I’ve a written a letter to both the Canadian Embassy, the ambassador and then also to three federal ministers – the Minister of Justice, Foreign Affairs and Jason Kenney.” Today, the Zhao family is once again in limbo as

Schools: Pipeline safety plans being drawn up plans. “I think each school is going to be responsible for producing their own. Obviously they will be overseen by management and the superintendent,” she said. Kinder Morgan’s existing pipeline runs along the property of two local schools – Stoney Creek and Forest Grove elementaries – and there could be more, depending on where the company runs the second line if the National Energy Board approves the expansion.

Baljinder Narang, chair of the school board, said schools are ensuring that all staff are aware there is a separate plan for pipeline emergencies. “Please know that the board takes safety issues very seriously,” she said. According to Narang, different schools are supposed to add to the

In January, the association said the proposed new pipeline route would run close to seven elementary schools (Seaforth, Cameron, Westridge, Lochdale, Forest Grove, Stoney Creek and Montecito) and Burnaby Mountain Secondary. As previously reported in the NOW, Burnaby Residents Opposing Kinder Morgan Expansion called on the education minister to come up with a safety plan for schools close to pipelines in January 2013.

decisions end up,” he said. Coun. Sav Dhaliwal echoed Volkow’s comments and said he’s always supported the motion when it came up at Union of B.C. Municipalities meetings. At last year’s meeting, there was a majority vote supporting four-year terms. “There’s a benefit to new councillors,” he said. “For many people who are elected for the first time there’s a fair amount of a learning curve. It’s overwhelming. By the time you get a hang of things in the third year, it’s over.” Dhaliwal said B.C. will be one of the last provinces to join the rest with fouryear terms. “That tells us it’s working reasonably well,” he added. Burnaby’s mayor also agrees with four-year terms

but raised his concern for rural communities that this change may impact them negatively. “I’m worried about the outlying municipalities,” Mayor Derek Corrigan said. Corrigan said it would be best to have two sets of elections, where larger cities have four-year terms and smaller communities have two-year terms. “This came as a surprise to me,” he added. “The government usually said no, but then when it was voted on at the last UBCM the government said yes.” The proposed four-year term is part of a local election reforms package being considered by the province, which would also move election time from November to October.

o you know someone from the local arts and entertainment community who deserves to be featured? We’re starting up a series of new mini-profiles to introduce our readers to some of those interesting folks in the community who might not otherwise make the headlines. If you want to see what our “Fill in the Blanks” series is all about, check out a blog post I’ve done introducing it, at www. tinyurl.com/FillintheBlanksBBY. (And, should you be interested, said blog post will also introduce you to me and reveal some secrets, including my guilty pleasure and my secret wish for superpowers.) If you have a suggestion for someone you’d like to see profiled in the NOW, let me know – email jmaclellan@burnabynow. com, or find me on Twitter, @ juliemaclellan.

Inuit art explored

Art lovers still have time to check out the exhibition of First Nations and Inuit prints at the Burnaby Art Gallery. The exhibition, Recent Acquisitions of First Nations and Inuit Prints, is running at the gallery until April 6. The gallery recently received the promised gift of a significant collection of First Nations and Inuit prints, created during the 1970s and early 1980s. Two notable Inuit works were also added to the gallery’s collection in 2013. The new exhibition features master works by Kenojuak Ashevak, Joseph and Kananginak Pootoogook, Bill Reid, Roy Henry Vickers and more. Running in conjunction with the exhibition, the gallery is also offering a Fireside Talk with Krista Belle Stewart on Thursday, March 20 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. It’s also hosting a Mandarin language walking tour with Dong Yue Su on Saturday, March 22 from noon to 1 p.m. Burnaby Art Gallery is at 6344 Deer Lake Ave. It’s open Tuesdays to Fridays, 10 a.m. to Lively City Page 15

Tales from the seventh floor: Jun Kim (at left, in red) and lead Darren Tran appear in Burnaby Central’s production of 7 Stories. It finishes its run tonight (March 7), in a double bill with Les Belles Soeurs.

Central stages two Canadian plays Local audiences have one last chance to catch Burnaby Central students onstage in a pair of Canadian plays. 7 Stories, by Morris Panych, and Les Belles Soeurs, by Michel Tremblay, are onstage at the school for one last time tonight (March 7). The first half of the evening is devoted to 7 Stories, the story of a well-dressed man who’s standing on the ledge of the seventh storey of a tall building, contemplating leap-

ing to his death. He’s interrupted by the residents of the building, who are too caught up in their own lives to question his being there. The second act will be Les Belles Soeurs, an English translation of Tremblay’s Canadian comedy. It follows the story of Germaine Lauzon, who has won a million trading stamps from a department store and who has dreams of refurbishing her workingclass home from top to bottom. She invites

14 of her friends and relatives over to help her paste the stamps into booklets – and there the fun begins. Tickets are $8 and $12, available at the door. Burnaby Central is at 6011 Deer Lake Parkway. Parking is available across the street from the school, in the Burnaby City Hall parking lot. twitter.com/juliemaclellan

Burnaby students on Douglas stage College production of The Importance of Being Earnest onstage March 7 to 14 Two Burnaby students are in the spotlight as an Oscar Wilde classic comes to life on the Douglas College stage. The college’s department of theatre is teaming up with the stagecraft and event technology department to stage The Importance of Being Earnest, onstage March 7 to 14. Wilde’s comedy, first performed in the 1890s, tells the story of stylish Algernon Moncrieff and gentlemanly John Worthing, close friends who each encounter romantic conflict while masquerading under the name of Ernest. “Wilde’s play is light-hearted and humorous on the surface, but beneath that he is

delivering some sharp critiques of the society and times he lived in,” said director Thrasso Petras in a press release. “I think this work still resonates with us because we all come up against social or cultural boundaries when trying to figure out our own happiness.” Petras notes that the Aylin Vandeputte play can be a challenge actor for beginning actors. “The world of the Victorian era can be unfamiliar and difficult to connect with,” Petras pointed out. “Our theatre students had to immerse themselves in the period’s culture, esthetics and even etiquette, until it became second nature.” The cast of theatre students includes two

Burnaby students: Adam Tatelman as Lane and Rev. Canon Chasuble, and Aylin Vandeputte as Cecily Cardew. The cast also includes Alexandria Gamache as Gwendolen Fairfax, Sam Hahn as Algernon Moncrieff, Olivia Lindgren as Lady Bracknell, Jordy Matheson as John Worthing and Heather Wyborn as Miss

Prism. The Importance of Being Earnest runs March 7 to 14 in the Studio Theatre at Douglas College, 700 Royal Ave. Tickets are $10 to $12, and they’re available through the Massey box office at 604521-5050.

Award-winning theatre: The 2b theatre company production of When It Rains will be onstage at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts March 19 to 22.

When it Rains at ’Bolt An internationally acclaimed East Coast theatre company is coming to the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts. Nova Scotia’s 2b theatre is bringing its production of When It Rains to the Shadbolt March 19 to 22. The production is described as “a play in the form of a live-action existential graphic novel.” “When the improbable happens, two couples are beset with misfortune, communication fractures, relationships crumble, behaviour becomes absurd,” a press release says. “When a series of tragic events strike Alan, Anna, Sybil and Louis, they all react in different and sometimes surprising ways. People sing, get naked, give up, lose control, have

sex with strangers. Some kind of God intervenes. Or observes. Or something. Or nothing.” When it Rains premiered in Halifax in April 2011 and toured to the SummerWorks Festival in Toronto in August 2012, For a where it won the SummerWorks trailer, design award. scan It’s onstage at the Shadbolt at 8 with Layar p.m. March 19 to 22. Advance tickets are $32, or $27 for students and seniors. Otherwise, they’re $35 regular or $30 for students and seniors. Wednesday night’s performance is $15, and Thursday’s features two-forone tickets. Call 604-205-3000 or book through tickets.shadboltcentre.com.

“Being Diabetic, I never had pain-free feet - UNTIL NOW!”

Pain Doctor Discovers CirculationBoosting Material In ‘Miracle Socks’ for Diabetics and Foot Pain Sufferers! B r e a k t h r o u g h f i b e r s i m p r o v e b l o o d f l o w, s w e l l i n g , b o o s t o x y g e n f l o w, and eliminate foot fatigue - naturally within minutes!

If you suffer from poor circulation, injury, swelling or any condition that leaves your feet fatigued and sore, then read on to discover the breakthrough that can change your life. Good news comes in the form of a ‘pain-busting microfiber’ that is used to weave a circulation-boosting sock, called BambusaTM. Better Blood Flow The ‘miracle sock’ is made from a new, patented anion-technology that is weaved into every strand of thread used to make a BambusaTM sock. This special micro-fiber thread is made from revolutionary bamboo charcoal to stimulate blood flow and revitalize feet. When this material comes in contact with body-heat it is proven to release circulation-boosting ions. The 3D-weave technology used in the material has been compared to infrared light therapy to help revitalize stiff and sore muscles. The manufacturer, who also makes a back and wrist sleeve, says the material provides almost instant relief to any part of the body it touches, making it ideal for diabetics, athletes, inflammation, stiffness and swelling.

Anne M. from California agrees. “Bambusa socks are absolutely the most comfortable socks I have ever worn! My feet are no longer fatigued!” Doctor Recommended Pain specialist of 30 years, Dr. Ronald Jahner comments on the 3Dweave technology, “Infrared therapy has been used for years at medical clinics to treat vascular and circulatory conditions. Physical therapists use infrared therapy to speed recovery. Better blood flow equals less pain. This microfiber works much the same way.” Therapy Without A Prescription! When the socks were photographed using a thermographic imaging camera, results showed up to a 17% to 22% increase in blood flow. This helped to improve muscle oxygenation and decrease foot fatigue. The socks have been proven to provide extended relief from cold, swollen and fatigued feet. Relief for Tired, Swollen Feet BambusaTM socks are not a medical device or compression socks because they don’t restrict blood flow. Utilizing the special negative-anion technology, they comfortably increase blood flow and oxygen to tissues.

They are ideal for diabetics and those suffering from neuropathy or injury from repetitive use. BambusaTM socks can also bring comfort to tired legs within minutes of putting them on, energizing individuals who spend long hours on their feet. BENEFITS: • Increased blood flow and oxygen • • • •

Reduced swelling and pain Anti-microbial Wicks away moisture Increased range of motion

IDEAL FOR: • Neuropathy • Raynaud's Syndrome • Cramping • Cold Feet

“I went out on the golf course for 18 holes of golf, and when I got home my feet weren’t swollen, they weren’t sweating and my feet didn’t hurt,” says Lou B. from New York.

Goodbye to Pain and Numbness Marilyn H. has suffered persistent foot problems and noticed fast results. “The issue for me was persistent numbness in my toes - it was gone completely after a few days of wearing these socks!”

Tom from NJ reports, “I suffer from chronic foot cramps. My feet were sore for days after the cramping. My wife gave me the BambusaTM socks, I wore them, and the foot cramps stopped. I replaced all my socks with BambusaTM. My feet feel great now.”

Thermographic Imaging Before Wearing BambusaTM socks

Max Temp with no BambusaTM 29.4o C

After Wearing BambusaTM socks

Max Temp with BambusaTM 33.4o C

The infrared anions generated by the charcoal bamboo increase blood flow and deliver oxygen to the tissues. After wearing for only minutes there is an increase in temperature due to the increased blood flow, resulting in improved comfort and reduced swelling. Twenty minutes after using the anion-fiber infused socks, patient has better blood flow and less numbness.

Try Bambusa Risk Free! Order Bambusa™ at no risk and receive two bonus pairs of socks absolutely free! The technology used in BambusaTM socks is independently tested to boost circulation, blood flow and oxygen. These circulation-boosting socks allow you to wrap yourself in relief. BambusaTM is backed by a satisfaction guarantee so you can experience the short and long term results risk free.

Grants help community HERE & NOW

Jennifer Moreau

o you have a fun and interesting way to bring neighbours together? The Burnaby Neighbourhood House is calling on local residents to send in applications for the annual small grants program. The program awards grants of up to $1,000 for projects that build community by connecting and engaging residents. Past projects have included neighbourhood block parties and the annual bike fair organized by Tammy Ozero. They could also be community gardening projects, educational sessions or beautification projects. “As long as the focus is

on inclusivity and bringing people together,” said Mackenzie Dean, the small grants program coordinator for the Burnaby Neighbourhood House. Organizations (including school parent advisory councils) or businesses can’t apply, as the money is earmarked for residents’ projects only. In all, the neighbourhood house will dole out $40,000. (The money comes from the Vancouver Foundation, but neighbourhood house volunteers decide which projects will receive funding.) To apply for a grant, go to vancouverfoundation. ca/nsg. The application period ends April 7.

Income tax help

It’s tax season, and Burnaby Community Services is offering free help for seniors or lowincome families that need help with their tax returns. The non-profit organization is running free tax clinics, starting March 11,

at the Tommy Douglas library branch and the Brentwood Community Resource Centre. Volunteers will be available to help low-income folks file their returns, as long as they are not overly complicated. To sign up, call Burnaby Community Services at 604-292-3902. Tommy Douglas library is at 7311 Kingsway, and the Brentwood Community Resource Centre is at 2055 Rosser Ave.

Homeless count

Local volunteers are in training, gearing up for the Burnaby leg of the Metro Vancouver Homeless Count. Every three years, volunteers hit the streets, counting and interviewing the homeless population to provide a snapshot of who’s sleeping on the streets. This year’s count takes place on March 12.

Perfect choice named college athete Tom Berridge sports editor

It was second time lucky for Douglas College grad RuiLin Huang at the Sport B.C. athlete of the year banquet on Wednesday. The 24-year-old fivetime college athlete of the year was named the Sport B.C. college athlete of the year award winner at the Fairmont Hotel Vancouver on Wednesday. Huang, who posted a remarkable 207-1 career record in college badminton, beat out two-time PacWest women’s soccer league MVP Alanna Bekkering and PacWest female athlete of the year Kayla Bruce, the University of the Fraser Valley volleyball star who was also a runner-up for the collegiate award last year. Huang was also nominated for Sport B.C.’s top college athlete award in 2012. “I was so surprised. Last time, I had so many doubts. I didn’t win it,” said Huang, following her receiving the award on Wednesday. The Mainland China native won an unprecedented five consecutive Canadian Colleges’ association national women’s singles titles from 2008 to ’13. The perennial AllCanadian was also chosen CCAA female badminton athlete of the year in four of the five years. In 2012, she was also

happy and tell everyone. “I won a provincial award in China, too, and they were so happy. It was presented by the government in 2005, when I was 15-years-old.” Huang shared the spotlight with another athlete from Burnaby. Wrestler Stacie Anaka, ranked No. 2 in the world in her weight class, won the female senior athlete

All the Northwest Giants needed was a win, and they got it. The Giants won a seventh consecutive B.C. major midget hockey league title, narrowly edging runnerup Okanagan Rockets by a single point in the final regular season standings. “We had a little help. It was pretty shocking when we heard the news,” said second-year Giants coach Clint Thornton. Last weekend, the Burnaby-based Giants swept their two-game set with the Cariboo Cougars in Prince George, while Okanagan only needed to do the same at home against the Northeast Chiefs to place first overall. They couldn’t do it, tying the fifth-place Chiefs 7-7 in their opening game on Saturday. In fact, the Rockets became the victims of their own complacency, giving up five unanswered goals in the opening six minutes of the period to drop what proved to be a valuable point to the Giants. “Our guys played well. It didn’t affect them. We

named the CCAA athlete of the year across all sports. “It’s a good accomplishment for all the hard work and all the people who helped me,” Huang said. “Without them, I wouldn’t even have been nominated for this award.” Perhaps not surprisingly, Huang was the choice of Douglas College as its female athlete of the year in all five years she attended the New Westminster

campus. While receiving the award for top college athlete in the province, Huang became emotional on stage. “I don’t know why,” she added. “I never speak English in front of so many people.” After graduating from Douglas with a degree in accounting, Huang is ready to start on a new path. “I’m going to have a

new life, start work and keep coaching and play some games sometimes, but not so much anymore,” Huang said. Huang honed her badminton skill at China’s Provincial Sport Institute in Hunan Province for 17 years before coming to Canada’s West Coast to study. “When I tell (my parents) they will be very happy and proud of me. I think they would be so

Douglas women’s hoop silver no surprise to coach Tom Berridge sports editor

Douglas College’s playoff dash for a provincial silver medal came as no surprise to interim basketball coach Courtney Gerwing. The fifth-place Royals made an impressive run to the final, knocking off regular season champion Vancouver Island University in the semifinals before settling for second place following a 69-52 loss to Quest University in the title game at Douglas on Saturday. “Youth and inexperience played a part,” said Gerwing, who shared in three CIS national basketball championships with Simon Fraser University and was also an assistant coach for the Clan women the past two seasons. “We approached the first four minutes like we didn’t deserve to be there. But we fought through a lot of adversity this season, and we fought back in the second quarter and gave them a game. The silver medal is a phenomenal accomplish-

ment for our team.” Douglas opened the provincials with an emphatic 82-58 upset over fourth-place Capilano University on Feb. 27. “I think it was one of our better games, but we had been steadily improving,” Gerwing said regarding the team’s renewed emphasis on defence. In the semifinal, Douglas put up that stout defence to upset the league No. 1 Mariners 50-47 in overtime. “Others were surprised, but I think because we had made a steadily improved climb, there was more surprise outside our circle than inside it,” said Gerwing. Trailing by five points with three minutes left to play, Chloe Kennedy hit a clutch three-pointer with just under two minutes left on the clock. A minute later, Mackenzie Brenner sent the game into extra time with the game-tying bucket. In OT, Kennedy took the ball down the court to score the game-winning basket with only 16.3 seconds to play. Miki received her second player of the

game honour, finishing the contest with 19 points, six rebounds and two assists. In the championship final, Adelia Paul and Miki helped Douglas, but the Kermodes, which had won all three regular season games against the Royals, outscored their hosts 27-13 in the third quarter to take control. Kennedy posted a double-double in the final game, netting 15 points and 10 rebounds. Miki, who joined Kennedy on the PacWest all-tournament team, chipped in with 10 points and seven boards. Quest guard Andrea Eidsvik, a Byrne Creek Secondary grad, helped her cause with 11 points and four assists. On the men’s court, Langara College won the men’s gold medal, downing league runner-up Vancouver Island 90-84. Quest went on to take the bronze medal with a 95-77 victory over Capilano University. STM grad Andrew Morris was the Capilano Blues player of the game with 18 points and six rebounds.

Dynamo club dynamite at AAs

continued from page 27

Ryan Hong led Dynamo Swim Club at the B.C. AA swim championships in Chilliwack last weekend. Hong, 13, won gold medals in the 100- and 200metre breaststroke, while also earning a silver in the 1,500m freestyle at the short-course provincials. Helena Zhou, 12 also won a pair of gold in breaststroke, while 13-year-old Demetra Sicoli placed first in the 100m butterfly for Dynamo. Marko Dukic picked up the bronze medal behind Hong in the 1,500m free. Aivery McKinley, 14, also won a bronze medal in the 200m breast in the agegroup competition. Dynamo’s 200m freestyle relay of Erin Patterson, Rachel Su, Sicoli and McKinley made it into the 14-and-under final, placing eighth. The 16-year-old Dynamo club does most of its training at Bonsor and Edmonds rec centre pools.

just said, ‘Let’s keep doing what we’re doing and we put four (goals) in,’” said Thornton. The Giants blanked the Cougars 7-0 in their opening game and then ensured themselves of a seventh straight regular season title with a 4-1 win on Sunday. Colton Kerfoot led the Giants in the title-winning victory with a hat trick. On Saturday, Kerfoot, who placed second in league scoring with 38 goals and 86 points, had a goal and two helpers against the Cougars. Keegan Jones tallied a pair of markers for the Giants in the win, as the Giants took a 3-0 first-period lead before burying the Prince George club with four more goals in the final frame. In Sunday’s pivotal win, the Giants spotted Cariboo the first goal of game and then replied with four markers in the final 12 minutes of the opening frame to coast to their 33rd win of the season. The Giants open the playoffs on Friday with the first game of a best-of-three series against the South Island Royals. The Giants host the Royals at the Burnaby Winter Club on Friday, beginning at 7:30 p.m. The two teams play again the following night at 7:45 p.m. If necessary, a Game 3 will be played on Sunday at 9:30 a.m. at the winter club.

Burnaby Lake to face hot Castaways

Awards: Volunteers, too

with five matches remaining in the regular season. Burnaby Lake improved its leagueleading 8-1 record with a slim 27-26 victory over an inspired University of Victoria XV that rallied from a 22-point deficit to pick up two crucial bonus points despite the loss. Saturday’s matchup between Burnaby and Castaways will be a rematch of last year’s semifinal.

of the year award. Anaka, a Simon Fraser University grad, earned a silver medal at the 2013 senior world championships and a gold at the Pan Am Games. Two other local volunteers were honoured with Presidents’ Awards prior to the dinner. Burnaby’s Alexander Rosemann and Burnaby Central Secondary instructor Gianni Buono were similarly honoured for their work with B.C. Table Tennis and wrestling, respectively.
