Chouhan will pay money back for trip Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Burnaby-Edmonds MLA Raj Chouhan is refunding taxpayers more than $2,000 for airfare for a trip he took with his wife to South Africa last August. While Chouhan insists he followed the rules and was allowed to book an airline ticket for his wife to accompany him, he decided to repay the $2,200 because he didn’t want to be the centre of negative publicity. “I don’t want any distraction. I checked many times that what I did was correct and that I didn’t need to pay,” he said. “But the story was going on and on, and I don’t want to be that story. … Mainly, I didn’t want any distraction so I paid.” Controversy around the trip surfaced with media reports focused on Liberal MLA Linda Reid. Reid has spent $120,000 in renovations and expenses, and $5,500 for her husband to fly business class with her to South Africa. Reid is the House speaker, and Chouhan is the deputy speaker, and while they were not on the same flight, both travelled to South Africa last fall for the annual Commonwealth Parliamentary Conference. The purpose of the five-day event is for representatives from Commonwealth countries to gather and discuss global issues, Chouhan said. According to Chouhan, travel rules stipulate two options for MLAs taking flights longer than four hours: travel solo in business class, or take a spouse and travel in economy – although those rules are now under review, he says. Chouhan says he booked the cheapest flight he could find. “I was sitting in the last row of the plane, I couldn’t move my feet,” he said. “That was very uncomfortable. … I could not justify flying business class. It was a 22-hour flight.”

Going buggy: Amber Robinson’s family is being bitten by bedbugs in a Burnaby apartment building that has a chronic

infestation. Residents of the Albert Street building have filed a complaint with the Residential Tenancy Branch, and a hearing is scheduled for April.

‘They feast on us all the time’ Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Residents of a Burnaby apartment building have taken their property manager to the Residential Tenancy Branch in an attempt to deal with a chronic bedbug infestation. The rental building at 4105 Albert St. has been infested for years with the blood-sucking parasites, and the NOW spoke with several upset tenants who want action.

Roughly a year ago, she saw small insects in her suite and noticed bites. “(I) saw them crawling around everywhere, (I was) waking up in the middle of the night and they would be all over me and my toddler, my baby was seven months old,” Robinson said. “They just enjoy us, they feast on us all the time. It’s tiring, it’s tormenting, it’s very traumatic.” Throughout one of her pregnancies, Robinson had to sleep on the floor in her living room because of the bedbugs. “It just became mental for me.

SCRIBJAB: HELPING KIDS TELL THEIR GRANDPARENTS’ STORIES

SFU profs have an app for that Janaya Fuller-Evans

staff reporter

It was a generational gap fueled by disappearing language skills that led Simon Fraser University professor Kelleen Toohey to cocreate Scribjab. When Toohey was working on a research project with a local teacher, she became aware of the challenge the teacher had, reaching out to the grandparents who cared for some of the students. The seed for Toohey’s most recent project was planted while working with the teacher at a school with mostly Punjabi Sikh students. The teacher wanted to involve the grandparents of kindergarten students, who were watching the kids during the day, by having them read to the kids. “The teacher had noticed not too many of the Sikh grandparents would come in,” Toohey said, adding the kids said the grandparents couldn’t read English. And so they created a project, giving the children MP3 players to interview the grandparents. The students translated the interviews into stories about their grandparents’ childhoods, written in both Punjabi and English, and made them into illustrated books. “Some couldn’t read Punjabi either, so they made CDs of kids reading stories in Punjabi and English,” Toohey said. Toohey began thinking of the possibility of sharing these stories online, and the creation of Scribjab began. Scribjab is an IPad application and website that allows students to publish stories and translations online. The students write the stories in both languages, and with the help of an adult, post them online. Other students can comment on them, and the authors can also respond to comments.

APP-TITUDE: Diane Dagenais and Kelleen Toohey, SFU education department professors, show their multiple language story-writing app, Scribjab.

The content is not edited by anyone on the site and is written at the childrens’ skill level in both languages. Toohey is passionate about maintaining and preserving students’ first-language skills, she said. “I’m really very much convinced by the research that if children develop literacy in their first language first, they’re much better at second language learning,” she said. She added that students often lose their first-language skills when they enter the school sys-

tem, or they stay at a five-year-old level. “I just think that that’s a terrible waste of linguistic resources, and it’s important that schools and teachers really value those languages,” she said. Toohey worked on the project with fellow SFU professor Diane Dagenais. They began planning it in 2010 and received funding from Canadian Heritage in 2011, as well as some from the university. Now, the website has about 30 stories, according to Toohey. Dagenais, whose background is in second-language education,

said she’d noticed a need for multilingual resources when conducting her research. “This project that Kelleen began to work on in her research, I found really relevant for language learners,” she said. “And so we started to work together on this.” Both Toohey and Dagenais are hoping more students will use the audio option – recording stories in both languages – as that can be an important way to connect with those who are not literate in one language or the other.

Man killed in car crash

One man is dead after his car struck a tree last week. Burnaby RCMP say a male driver in his 20s was travelling on Goring Street at about 9:20 a.m. on March 21, when his vehicle went off the road and hit a tree, killing him instantly. Police are in the early stages of their

investigation and can’t definitively say what caused the car to go off road, but Burnaby RCMP is reporting that speed and alcohol may be factors in the crash. Officers were on scene at Goring Street near Holdom Avenue for several hours combing through evidence. – Cayley Dobie

was supposed to be better than that. Instead, they came to see themselves as entitled. Their actions have resulted in a huge sense of betrayal. While the sins of the wicked pierce our side, the sins of the righteous pierce our heart. One of the saddest fallouts of the sorry affair is that it has given plenty of ammunition for those who would love to cut public funding for similar endeavours, regardless of the good they do.

B.C. Housing Minister Rich Coleman said criminal charges aren’t being considered against society executives. That’s too bad, because if this isn’t technically criminal, it’s certainly a moral crime. It will have a real and negative impact on the most vulnerable people the society was supposed to help – perhaps for years to come. For that, those associated with this sordid affair have only themselves to blame.

IN MY OPINION

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Save Canada’s postal system Dear Editor:

Eliminating door-to-door mail delivery to Canadians runs contrary to a fundamental principle of our democracy: governments are elected to provide services which maintain and, ideally, enhance the quality of life of its citizens. Not long ago, this Conservative government justified legislating striking Canada Post letter carriers back to work by claiming they were “essential” to Canadians. Today, the same government would have us believe that door-to-door mail delivery is now a luxury – not a necessity. Try telling that to seniors who depend on its security and convenience; to people

with disabilities who rely on its accessibility; and to small businesses who count on its consistency. There’s also the environmental argument in favour of home delivery over so-called “super mailboxes.” First, not everyone can reside within a stone’s throw of one of these super mailboxes. The cancellation of home service will inevitably cause people to get in their cars to drive out to retrieve their mail. Second, in addition to leaving a larger eco-footprint, having no home delivery will make it harder on the millions of Canadians not fortunate enough to live in our mild West Coast climate. While braving one of their worst winters on record, Winnipeggers could at least bank on one thing other than –40 C degree temperatures when

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Mail is a national issue continued from page 6

they opened their front doors: their mail. And, despite the ever-increasing flow of information digitally, there remains an important function for Canada Post in our wired world; namely, protecting the privacy of our personal and professional communications. Super mailboxes are already prime targets for mail and identity theft by sophisticated criminals who’ve now begun to trade in their crowbars for illegally-produced master keys. But this isn’t just about mail disappearing. It’s about the loss of thousands of decent-paying jobs for Canadian workers, not to mention the loss of a national institution as old as Confederation itself. Like every other G8 country, Canada deserves an administratively lean (I mean, do we really need 22 presidents and vicepresidents making a combined $10 million annually?), forward-thinking, multi-faceted, door-to-door, public postal system serving to connect communities from coast to coast to coast. And if this federal government can’t deliver the goods, then let’s send a message of our own with a stamp of disapproval on Election Day 2015. Harman Pandher, Burnaby

Payday lending ‘vultures’ Dear Editor:

As a Canadian, I am ashamed we allow payday lenders to operate. They are like vultures that prey on the weakest of our society. Consumer Protection B.C. has recently ordered one of these companies, The Cash Store, to repay lenders $1 million. Between November 2009 and March 2012, some of the poorest people in B.C. felt they had no choice to make ends meet than taking out 68,000 loans with the company that was charging well above the legal rate of 23 per cent per month. That’s right, the legal rate is 23 per cent per month, not per year. So, while wealthy and middle-class people pay about three per cent for a mortgage, our provincial government allows payday lenders to charge the poorest people in the province interest rates at about 100 times what well-

heeled people pay. Talk about an upsidedown world. I want to know what Burnaby MLAs are going to do to stop this immoral and unjust practice. Kathy Corrigan, Raj Chouhan, Richard Lee and Jane Shin: I want to know what you will do to stop this abuse of those of us who can least afford it. Remember, we are voters too.

The accord created fairer federal funding formulas and recommitted all provinces to the Canada Health Act, ensuring Medicare remains public and universally accessible. When the accord expires on March 31, the federal share of health-care funding will have nearly doubled to 20 per cent.

Where was the oversight? Dear Editor:

In light of the recent extensive outrage over the egregious ripoff perpetrated by four sanctimonious socialists and one professional politician ex-spouse on the denizens of the Downtown Eastside and the rest of us taxpayers, the one key question that needs to be asked is: where is the oversight? Were there no audits performed at the Portland Hotel Society prior to those imposed recently by Vancouver Coastal Health and B.C. Housing? The period reported by the recent audits goes back only three years, but one might readily conclude that the spending habits of the PHS executive suite did not just take off one day three years ago, and the total amount effectively stolen is more than double what has been reported if one looks further back in their accounting records. In a society that can shut down a child’s lemonade stand for not adhering to onerous health regulations, and requires us to keep expense vouchers for a minimum six years, do our social welfare agencies just shovel out money to “charities” with no accountability? It seems that standards of GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) which are so rigorously applied to commercial enterprises were not observed at PHS and, for all I know, may not apply to charities in general. Does their tax exempt status relieve them of CRA oversight altogether? While Ms. Kwan has made a token attempt at restitution of her known misappropriations, what about the gang of four who are the principal abusers? Their relationships with the guardians of our public funds call for meticulous examination. Thomas Hasek, Burnaby

But now that is all about to change. Public health care is facing its latest crisis – brought on by a different federal government that refuses to support Canada’s most cherished social program. That’s why it’s time for a new generation of provincial leaders to make the case for a new and better health accord.

The clock is winding down on the old Health Accord. But there’s still plenty of time to renew our national commitment to the values of a public and accessible Medicare system. Let’s get started. Bonnie Pearson is the secretary-business manager of the Hospital Employees’ Union.

CITY OF BURNABY OPPOSES KINDER MORGAN PIPELINE PROPOSAL Kinder Morgan Pipeline Expansion Project Proposal – the Facts Kinder Morgan has run ads in Burnaby newspapers, claiming that 90 per cent of their proposed pipeline would follow the existing pipeline corridor (73%) or utility corridors (17%). In Burnaby, approximately 90% of the proposed pipeline would follow an entirely new corridor. • The new pipeline would triple the carrying capacity of the current system, bringing 890,000 barrels per day of dirty, unrefined oil to Burnaby for export via Burrard Inlet – even more than all of the oil proposed for Enbridge’s massive Northern Gateway Project.

On February 3, 2014, the City of Burnaby applied for official intervener status to oppose the Kinder Morgan Pipeline Expansion project. We oppose this pipeline proposal because of the significant negative impacts that its construction and operation would have on our city. To ensure Burnaby citizens have access to all available information about the pipeline and can participate in the City’s intervention, the City will hold community meetings on April 9 and April 15 and will continue to engage with Burnaby citizens and businesses throughout the National Energy Board hearing process. I hope to see you on April 9 and 15.

• The number of tankers coming into Burrard Inlet to receive this dirty oil from the Westridge terminal would increase from approximately eight to 34 tankers per month.

Current tankers per month

Proposed tankers per month

• Kinder Morgan’s application includes maps that show potential consequences of oil spills in Burnaby. Heavy crude oil could leak into the Brunette and Fraser rivers, and Burnaby Lake. • Kinder Morgan says their pipeline has operated safely for 60 years. In fact, Burnaby has already dealt with one significant Kinder Morgan spill. In 2007, a Burnaby neighbourhood, including 44 homes, was drenched in oil that also leaked into Burrard Inlet and Kask Creek. This was a miniscule spill, compared to what would be possible with this new pipeline – and was not the dirty, unrefined oil that Kinder Morgan is proposing to carry in their new lines.

• Kinder Morgan is proposing to triple the storage capacity of the tank farm on Burnaby Mountain, increasing the number of tanks to 26. These tanks are located above and below Burnaby homes and businesses, and below SFU and UniverCity. Kinder Morgan’s proposal does not adequately address fire, leakage and security concerns.

• This is not oil for B.C.; it is the dirtiest oil from Alberta’s oilsands being transported by a Houston-based multinational company via Burnaby for export.

The 2007 Kinder Morgan oil spill in Burnaby

• The application submitted to the NEB by Kinder Morgan is incomplete and the timeline allowed for Burnaby citizens to apply to intervene in the NEB hearings was too short.

• The City calls on the federal governmentt to pment develop an energy plan. Current development is happening in the absence of a plan.

Texas-based Kinder Morgan claims the pipeline would create jobs and benefit Burnaby’s economy. In fact, the net impact of this pipeline on jobs in Burnaby and our economy would be negative. The pipeline would hurt hundreds of businesses that are responsible for economic development and quality of life in our thriving city. It would threaten our city’s livability, limit development opportunities, ignore longstanding citizen-driven plans, and damage our environment. Its net effect would be to eliminate jobs, not to add them.

Kinder Morgan says: “Pipeline spills can have both positive and negative effects on local and regional economies, both in the short and long term. Spill response and clean-up creates business and employment opportunities for affected communities, regions, and clean-up service providers. This demand for services and personnel can also directly or indirectly affect businesses and resource dependent livelihoods.” Kinder Morgan – on jobs the new pipeline could create in Burnaby

Bedbugs: Residential Tenancy Branch dispute hearing postponed continued from page 1

sprayed downstairs. For the past four or five, days, they’ve been constantly biting us. These are babies now, they go through your socks and they just bite you.” Robinson said all four of her children are being bitten. “I’m in a state of panic all the time, and I’m embarrassed at the same time. I need to get out of here, but no one will take a family of six in,” she said. “(The building manager) won’t even pay for a hotel so this place can get sprayed.” During a recent phone conversation, Robinson was in tears, facing the prospect of having to throw out all her furniture yet again. Another tenant, Gerry Cole, has been living in the building for four or five years and said bedbugs have been in the place as long as he has, although he insists his suite is clear of insects. “I’ve seen people leaving in the middle of the night,” Cole said, adding he’s spent hundreds on pest control. “I’ve seen tenants moving in and out of the building. There are people that live in the building that have mental illnesses, and they are not dealing with the bedbug problem properly.” Cole said the building manager, Nader Pourbazyar, is spending quite a bit of money on pest control, but he’s not doing it properly. The NOW spoke to Pourbazyar and was told he has spent $9,000 on pest control over

the past 2.5 years. However, Pourbazyar said the tenants were exaggerating the problem and some would not cooperate to let anyone in to spray their suite. According to Pourbazyar, 12 of the building’s 20 suites have bedbugs. Pourbazyar said he manages several buildings and has dealt with bedbugs before, but this building has uncooperative tenants. ColefiledacomplaintwiththeResidential Tenancy Branch to try to force Pourbazyar to deal with the problem, and there was a dispute resolution hearing set for March 21, but it was postponed until April. Pourbazyar plans to ask the branch if he can evict the tenants who are not cooperating with the pest control measures. Bedbugs are not considered a health hazard because they don’t spread diseases, so Fraser Health will not get involved. (The building also has cockroaches, however, which are considered a health hazard.) According to the Tenancy Resource and Advisory Centre, a bedbug infestation may not be reason enough to break a tenancy agreement, although it is largely the landlord’s responsibility to handle pest control. People who find bedbugs in their suites should notify their landlords immediately, and failure to comply with pest control instructions could result in eviction. While many cities have a standards-of-maintenance bylaw, which means the municipality can force landlords to keep their property in good shape, Burnaby does not.

Group welcomes seniors’ advocate Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

A Burnaby seniors’ task force is welcoming Isobel Mackenzie to her new post as B.C.’s first seniors’ advocate. The provincial government announced Mackenzie’s appointment Wednesday, and Voices of Burnaby Seniors, a local not-for-profit task force, was pleased with the appointment. “We’re very happy they’ve appointed someone, and the person they’ve appointed seems to have a lot of experience working with seniors. So we are looking forward to meeting with her and seeing what her ideas are for the future,” said Elsie Dean, a member of Voices of Burnaby Seniors. The seniors’ advocate position was created following a B.C. Ombusdperson’s report from two years ago, which made more than 170 recommendations to better help B.C.’s seniors. Dean would like to meet with Isobel Mackenzie Mackenzie to discuss issues facing seniors’ advocate Burnaby seniors, including lack of affordable housing and adequate funding for programs that help seniors, especially when it comes to health. “There’s (no) appreciation of how much money that’s saving the health system,” Dean said. Mackenzie is now head of the newly formed Office of the Seniors Advocate, set up to make systemic improvements to seniors’ care and services. According to the Seniors Advocate Act, Mackenzie must report to government “in an independent manner” at least once a year, and she can make recommendations regarding systemic “challenges” seniors face. According to a provincial government press release, Mackenzie has nearly two decades of experience working with seniors’ issues and is a board director with the B.C. Care Providers’ Association.

Brave new leap for Galloway’s in Burnaby Well-known specialty food store serves up a healthier, safer line of products for a new generation Christina Myers contributing reporter

In business, most decisions are based on the bottom line – supply and demand, customer projections and, of course, profit. But for Annie Muljiani, a recent decision to radically alter her approach to the 70-plus-year family business came straight from her heart and her gut. “Really, it’s your soul you put into your business in the first place, and you have to know you’re doing what you think is right,” she said. “I’m actually starting all over, in a sense – this is like a fresh business. It’s a big leap, it’s scary, but it’s so exciting, too.” Over the last few months, Muljiani and her team at Galloway’s – which has a location in South Burnaby and another in Richmond – have been stripping shelves, poring over product specifications and calling suppliers with hard questions. The end result: everything on the shelves is certified non-GMO, dye-free, MSG-free, preservative-free, dairy-free, gluten-free and soy-free. “I want people who are coming in here to know that every single thing has been cleared – that we’ve done the homework on it, that they know exactly what they’re getting and what they’re not.” Muljiani says the decision came after lots of reading, learning and – most of all – plenty of soul-searching. “You know, we were talking about celiac disease and the effect of gluten years ago, we had customers who came for (specialty products) based on their specific diets, but for a long time I don’t think most of us thought as much about things like food dyes and colourings, and the impact that they have,” she said. Over time, as more and more information became available, Muljiani realized she couldn’t, in good conscience, continue to stock products that she didn’t think were healthy or safe. Sounds like a simple approach, but as a company that had built a reputation as the go-to specialty foods store with hardto-find products, it meant risking the loss of some longtime clients. For example, they used to stock arguably the largest selection of fruitcake supplies in the region – for some customers, it was a tradition to come in the autumn from as far away as Vancouver Island to stock up on the jewel-coloured fruits to make their traditional annual recipes. But laced with additives, the fruit had to go – along with the stockpiles of cakedecorating supplies, sprinkles, sauces, chocolates, even many spices – to conform to her new guidelines. “We had everything here – people knew you could get it here, and for a long time that was our goal: to give the

A fresh start: Annie Muljiani decided to completely restock her specialty food store with items that are certified non-GMO, dye-free, MSG-free, preservative-free, dairy-free, gluten-free and soy-free. It’s a huge step for the store, and one Muljiani says is both scary and exciting. – but you know, I’m a parent, and I had customer that huge variety,” she said. “But you start to learn more and you just to say ‘would I feed this to my kids?’ It’s hard to know that there may be customsay ‘I can’t do this’ – there’s more than ers that have been with us since I was a 40 names for MSG, you might be lookkid that may not like the change, but a ing at a label thinking something sounds fine, but not realizing you’re looking at a lot of people who have come in and have seen it have said, ‘Wow, thank you.

Other classes included sessions with a naturopath, a class to learn about natural sweeteners and another looking at gluten-free shopping on a budget. Muljiani hopes to see those classes expand and grow, and so far, the response has been 100 per cent positive, she says. “People love it – they’re free, and they come and they learn something and then they have a chance to look around and see the changes,” she said. “It’s a winwin.” With the bulk of the work behind her, including significant rebranding to freshen up the look of packaging and signage, the rest of the transformation involves teaching current customers why they’ve made the changes they have – and hopefully drawing in a whole new generation of customers. The irony, she notes, is that the evolution is really more of a circle than a new stop along a straight route. “Really, it’s sort of just going back to our roots – 50 years ago we didn’t have all the packaged, processed things: we had nuts, seeds, oils, spices, the basics. Whole foods. It’s really sort of a homecoming really.” To find out more, see www.galloways foods.com. The Burnaby store is located at 1108620 Glenlyon Pkwy.

Cats and Dogs Have Allergies Too

The bright, sunny days of spring are here. Unfortunately, so are seasonal allergies for people and pets. Just as a ‘sniffly-sneezy person’ does not always have the flu, similarly an itchy dog does not always have mange. A lesserknown fact is that a dog that licks itself a lot is not a clean, self-groomer. A dog that rubs its face on the carpet is not the same as a dog that plays and enjoys feeling the grass on its face. A dog that scoots around is definitely not a dog enjoying itself. These can all be signs of allergies, which cause considerable discomfort to pets.

Food allergies are very common in dogs and cats, although allergies are not always food related. The two other most common types of allergies are environmental allergies (usually seasonal) and flea-bite allergies. Apart from tree pollen resulting in skin allergies, the spring season also brings with it an environment that is more amenable for fleas to thrive in (even though I have also seen a stark increase in flea infested pets during the past two winter seasons). Treatment options exist for all common forms of allergies. If it happens to be food related, a strict diet regimen is a great help. In the case of an environmental allergy, early and accurate diagnosis opens up the potential to reverse the “allergy march” through allergen-specific immunotherapy (or allergy vaccines), just as is done for people. Many other therapeutic, dietary and allergen avoidance measures are also available for the allergic pet. Preventing flea infestation in pets is easy nowadays with the availability of numerous safe flea preventives. Keep in mind that products labeled for dogs may not be safe for use in cats. Due to harmful side effects, steroid therapy should always be the absolute last resort for treatment of allergies.

PAWS & TIGGER

DOLCE

3 years, Domestic short-haired brown Tabby, males.

4 years, Domestic long-haired mixed breed, spayed female.

SPCA ID: 328785; 328786

Paws and his brother Tigger were recently surrendered together when their family developed allergies. It’s been a difficult transition for them, but especially for Tigger. Paws is an affectionate, cuddly boy who enjoys belly rubs. And once Tigger gets in his comfort zone, he also likes affection and often snuggles on your lap, and head butts your hand for more love. Both are bonded and need to stay together. They both have the unusual habit of enjoying time in the shower and playing in the tub! Come meet this darling duo!

My top 5 recommendations for pet care in spring: 1. Avoid ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) injuries in dogs - get them active slowly. Especially if they have been non-active during the winter months. Sudden strenuous exercise can result in injuries. 2. Vaccinate cats that go outdoors – Feline leukemia and Feline immunodeficiency (feline AIDS) are both viral diseases that may be contracted by your cat from another infected cat. These infections are preventable through adequate vaccination. 3. Use established flea prevention– use topical flea preventives which are much superior and efficacious when compared to the old-fashioned flea baths. 4. Be aware of allergy type symptoms – watch for itching, scratching, licking, chewing and/or rubbing of skin with or without skin infection. 5. Watch for ear infections – may be due to allergies or from excess moisture in ear canals after going swimming.

SPCA ID: 326590

Stella is a lovely girl looking for her perfect match. She’s an affectionate and cuddly girl who will warm your heart.

SPCA ID: 326649, 326647

Burnaby businesses shine at TED MOVERS & SHAKERS Stefania Seccia

hree technologically advanced businesses based in Burnaby opened their doors recently for TED. D-Wave Systems, General Fusion and Inventys Thermal Technologies showed their stuff off for the 30th anniversary of TED Talks, which was held in Vancouver from March 17 to 24. As the Burnaby NOW previously reported, DWave is the world’s premier developer of quantum computers backed by the CIA, Lockheed Martin and others. Each computer sells for about $10 million. Burnaby’s Inventys Thermal Technologies – which recently announced

that Nobel physicist Steven Chu, former first energy secretary to U.S. President Barack Obama, joined the board – has developed a way to capture carbon dioxide from heat to sell it back to the oil and gas industry. General Fusion also allowed a tour through its facility in the city, where it is still in the middle of developing a commercially viable fusion reactor. Michel Laberge, General Fusion’s chief scientist, also presented during the third session of TED at the Vancouver Convention Centre. If you weren’t interested in paying the $7,500 ticket, or did but didn’t make it past the application round, you can watch the talks for free at www. ted.com/talks. – With files from the Vancouver Sun

Climate Smart

One of the 10 largest credit unions in the province recently announced

it achieved Climate Smart certification for 2013. G&F Financial took a series of actions to obtain the certification, including reducing garbage emissions by 28 per cent; reducing material emissions by 17 per cent; and reducing heat emissions by 20 per cent. “We are continually working on reducing our emissions and have drafted a reductions plan for the upcoming year aimed at reducing waste, electricity, staff commuting, and paper,” said Bill Kiss and Jeff Shewfelt, co-CEOs of G&F, in a media release. Climate Smart is a local social enterprise that works with organizations to reduce carbon emissions through training, tips, software and provides certification.

Get your Vehicle Ready for Warm Weather Driving UNDER THE HOOD Modern engines are very advanced, but still need regular maintenance. Click image to enlarge Your engine and transmission have a variety of fluids and filters to keep them running at their best: fuel, oil, coolant, and more. Winter is hard on these fluids – especially the transmission fluid and engine oil. Grab a service manual and change any fluids that might need to be replaced, or take your ride to your favorite lube-shop to have the work done professionally. Don’t take fluids lightly – many a mechanic says that they’re the life-blood of your vehicle. If you neglect them, you shouldn’t expect your car to be healthy for the long term. Make sure to change your air filter on time as well, as a plugged or dirty filter can cost you performance and mileage. Also, if your older engine seems a little under the weather, why not try some intake tract cleaner? It costs about $10 and removes years

Will ‘minor seepage’ cause major trouble? CLICK & CLACK TALK CARS Ray & Tom Magliozzi

Dear Tom and Ray: I have a 2009 Subaru Outback, currently with 54,000 miles. Since April 2012, every time I take it in for an oil change (at two different places), I am told that the front axle clamps have failed and are seeping grease (last year, left axle; this year, both sides) and that they should be replaced by the dealer under the powertrain warranty before the car reaches 60,000 miles. Every time I take it back to the dealer (three times), I’m told that it’s not a problem and it’s not covered under the warranty. The dealer’s service department cleans around the clamps, says the clamps are not serviceable, that it’s “very minor seepage” and that they’ll monitor it at the next service. New clamps will cost $130. Who do I believe, and should anything be done? Is this leakage setting me up for other, more expensive problems in the future? – Karen TOM: In our experience, Subaru axle clamps do tend to seep grease. RAY: Kind of like we do when we get home from work at night. TOM: I don’t know why this happens on Subarus. It may be the unique angle created by their highermounted differentials that makes the CV boots hard to seal well against the CV joint housing. RAY: But we’ve also noticed that the minor seepage usually does not lead to imminent, disastrous axle failure. TOM: But without seeing your car, it’s impossible for us to know how badly yours are leaking. If it’s really minimal seepage, the dealer may be right. And lazy. But also right.

RAY: On the other hand, if it looks like grease has been slung all over the place, like after my brother tries to make lunch, that indicates a more serious leak, and then the answer to your question is yes, that will eventually lead to hundreds of dollars in repairs when your CV joint fails due to lack of lubrication. TOM: The problem is that you’re not sure who to trust in this situation. On the one hand, you’ve got a couple of oil-change guys who might not be Subaru experts, and on the other hand you’ve got a Subaru dealer who may have an interest in not fixing your car for free, perhaps because he won’t be reimbursed under warranty from Subaru. RAY: So my recommendation would be to find an independent repair shop that specializes in Subarus. TOM: We maintain a free database of recommended mechanics all over the country (www.mechanics files.com). These are shops that have been reviewed and vouched for by our newspaper readers and radio listeners. And if you enter your ZIP code, you’ll get a list of highly rated shops in your area. Then you can look for one that has some Subaru expertise, and ask them to take a look and tell you what they think you should do. RAY: My guess is that the dealer probably is right in this case. But a second opinion will give you peace of mind. And then you can forget about it and worry about more important issues, like how to get the bird droppings out from between the tiny crevices in your roof rack. Good luck, Karen.

Where to buy bluebells GREEN SCENE Anne Marrison

Question: I am living here with my son and his family and miss my garden in England. Is it possible to get bluebells here? – Anne Wilkinson, Maple Ridge Answer: Yes, it is possible. The bulbs are offered in some fall catalogues (print and online). Garden Import offered bulbs of Scilla non-scripta (the name for English bluebells) last fall. But the bluebells usually sold here are the Spanish bluebells, which are sturdier and have bell-flowers all the way around the stem. These are more flamboyant than the English ones. Both types are listed as being the same height, but the true English bluebells I’ve seen are somewhat shorter and have flowers on one side of the stem only. When correctly labelled (unfortunately not always), the Spanish bluebell is sold under the names: Scilla campanulata, Hyacinthoides hispanica or Endymion hispanicus. To

further muddy the waters, both kinds can interbreed. True English bluebell seed is offered by www.chilternseeds.co.uk. The company makes a special point this is the true English bluebell seed. Both kinds are quite lovely and very easy to establish. But because they spread so readily and are so hard to dig up, many gardeners consider them invasive. Question: Earlier this year, my strawberry plants were coming up green-leaved, but now most of the outer leaves have turned brown. Is it worth clipping off those brown leaves and leaving the green inner ones, or should I start over with new plants again? – K., Coquitlam Answer: The leaves would have turned brown because the weather was so cold. As soon as the temperature goes up, the inner green leaves will grow nicely. Strawberries are very hardy and even in pots it’s unlikely the cold would kill their roots. As long as the strawberries you have are basically okay, it’s better to keep going with these. New strawberry plants will grow slowly at first. That’s why in their first year they won’t fruit as enthusiastically as estab-

lished plants. If your strawberries are the small-fruited alpine type, they can keep growing and fruiting for years. Question: I have a small northwest-facing balcony partly shaded by a tree. I’d love to grow some greens, veggies or herbs. Any suggestions on what may survive? –Julie Chapple, Vancouver Answer: Leafy crops should survive well in your situation for most of the year. These would include sorrel, arugula, corn salad, lettuce, the mustards and many of the oriental vegetables such as Pak Choi and Jade Spring. Green onions should also do well. Herbs that would thrive even in the shadier part of the year include mint, parsley and chives. It would be worth trying the regular range of vegetables such as beans, beets and carrots during the summer months. Generally vegetables need a minimum of four hours sun (and ideally six or seven) to do well. Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions. Send them to her via amarrison@shaw.ca.

Eat your frozen veggies ON COOKING

Chef Dez

uring every trip to the supermarket, we must make choices between the price, health and convenience aspects of the foods we buy. Most people tend to believe that fresh is always the best option, and in many cases it is, but what about frozen vegetables? Are they just as nutritious as their fresh counterparts? Studies have shown that most frozen vegetables are just as nourishing. Other than a quick blanching process to kill any bacteria, they are virtually unprocessed and flash frozen to preserve freshness. By staying frozen from shortly after harvesting until the time they reach your kitchen, they are by far a better product than most people think. Unless fresh goods are harvested locally, they must travel great distances in order to be available to

you in the produce section. This usually means that they are harvested before full ripeness occurs in hopes of them being at their peak by the time they arrive for one to purchase. This timely arrival is not always the case however, and you may be left with a more inferior product than if you were to get it direct from the farm. Full ripening on the tree/vine before harvesting also always produces a far more healthful product. This being said, if you live in a farming area where fresh local produce is available then by all means buy fresh, otherwise frozen is another viable option. For many households frozen is far more convenient for their busy lifestyles: cutting, washing, and in some cases peeling has already been done for them. The chance of food spoilage is also greatly reduced, unless it is forgotten about in the freezer for long periods of time. Most frozen vegetables are recommended to be stored in the freezer for up to six months. They are not immediately bad or freezer burnt in the seventh

month, but should be used up sooner rather than later for optimal results. Dear Chef Dez: Whenever I buy a bag of either frozen peas or frozen corn, they are nicely individual, but after 1.5 weeks in my freezer they turn into one big hard lump. Any suggestions? Barbara T. Maple Ridge, B.C. Dear Barbara: This usually happens because the frozen vegetables partially thaw, waters collects on the vegetables, and then when they get put back in the freezer they clump together because the newly formed moisture freezes everything together. The only thing I can suggest is to make sure you do the following: Shop for frozen foods last when making your grocery store trip. Keep frozen foods together in your cart/bags to help keep them cold. Get them immediately into the freezer when you get home. Chef Dez is a food columnist, culinary instructor and cookbook author. Visit his site at www.chefdez.com.

Find your happy ending at Storybrook in South Burnaby

ouse hunters ready to enter a new chapter in their lives need look no further. With its grand opening on March 29th, Ledingham McAllister’s Storybrook is poised to become an all-time bestseller with a large cross-section of homebuyers who recognize what a great value this brand new four-storey development has to offer. “These homes are second to none,” said Manuela Mirecki, Ledingham McAllister’s Senior Vice President of Marketing & Design. “Not only is Storybrook in a sought-after location with great access to transit, shopping and schools, the building itself is on an unbelievably quiet no-through street in an established neighbourhood. We restored and day-lighted an underground stream that was onsite and designed a building that makes the most of this natural feature.” Within easy walking distance of the Edmonds SkyTrain Station, Storybook is in the heart of a vibrant community whose residents demonstrate an extraordinary commitment and loyalty to the area. New amenities such as the Edmonds Aquatic and Community Centre are close by, as are a new library as well as schools and Highgate Village Shopping Centre. Parks and trails abound, offering

endless walking and biking opportunities. Rare in the new condominium market, all 71 of Storybrook’s one bedroom and den and two-bedroom homes are move-in ready. “These are finished homes, so you’re putting your money to work for you right away,” emphasized Mirecki. “You can physically see, touch and feel your home’s finishings and move in right away. And, with Ledingham McAllister’s 109 years of history behind Storybrook, you can be sure you are choosing a well-built home by a developer that stands behind its projects.” As with all classics, Storybrook has a great beginning, middle and end. From the moment you arrive you will be charmed by the building’s quiet location and inspired by its West Coast architecture that has been thoughtfully designed to maximize the natural views. Each home boasts top-end finishes that buyers normally equate with downtown sophistication including KitchenAid stainless steel appliances (including wall ovens and slide-in glass cooktops), full height tile backsplashes, and wide-plank wood laminate floors. Buyers will also appreciate the quartz stone countertops and Kohler faucets, Whirlpool

washers and dryers, the luxurious Hytec Bowen tub with full-height tile surround in the master ensuite, a Hytec Ledward shower in the main bathroom, as well as the Kohler under-mount sinks. The ground-floor homes have generous yards and private entrances, while the upper floors enjoy spacious balconies. A community courtyard overlooks the restored Byrne Creek. With three floor plans to choose from, homes range from 673 to 839 square feet. One bedroom and den homes start in the mid $200s with two-bedroom choices beginning in the mid $300s. Whatever your budget, there is sure to be a Storybrook home to help you create your “happily ever after.” Visit the Storybrook presentation centre opening March 29th at 7131 Stride Avenue in Burnaby.

The Vancouver Ice Dance Academy is teaming up with Fortius Sport and Health for even better figure skating results. “This is a significant partnership for Vancouver Ice Dance Academy and one that we believe will truly help optimize the performance of our athletes on and off the ice,” said VIDA co-director Meagan Wing in

a Fortius press release. “To have access to such important training and services at a world-class facility in our own backyard is convenient and compelling for our skaters and their families.” The highly successful former Olympic and 10-time Canadian champion ice dance team of Wing and Aaron Lowe head up VIDA at the B.C. Centre of Excellence at Burnaby 8Rinks. Together, they have produced

22 national and 11 international ice dance medals, including current 2013 junior champions Madeline Edwards and ZhaoKai Pang of Burnaby and novice champs from Burnaby Danielle Wu and Spencer Soo. Edwards and Pang are among the most successful young dance team currently training at the academy. The four-time national champions Fortius Page 42

Mat men win club nationals Burnaby Mountain won both the junior and senior men’s club aggregate at the Canadian wrestling championships in Edmonton. St. Thomas More’s Darthe Capellan led a wave of seven junior gold-medal winners, earning the outstanding wrestler award with his win over Sam Jagas of Brock in the 55-kilogram final on March 21. Other Burnaby Mountain club weight class winners included Oscar Bulaqui, Marc Magano, Jaskarn Ranu, Josh Kim, heavyweight Ben Tynan and Burnaby Central grad Parm Dhesi at 97 kg. Dhesi also placed sixth in the senior division of the nationals behind clubmate Arjun Gill, who was one of two individual champions from Burnaby Mountain. The other national champion was Olympian Haislan Garcia at 65 kg. In related wrestling news, Parm’s younger brother, Amar, got to Day 3 at the NCAA Division I wrestling nationals in Okalahoma City last week. Amar, a true freshman heavyweight on scholarship to Oregon State University, was eliminated from the men’s 285-pound division in the consolation round by fall by No. 8 seed J.T. Felix of Boise State. Dhesi opened his first national championship with a 14-6 major decision over Bucknell’s Joe Stolfi. In the second round, Dhesi was pinned by top seed and eventual national runnerup Anthony Nelson of Minnesota and relegated to the consolation bracket. Submitted photo/burnaby now

That’s one of the reasons our annual Design an Ad special supplement continues to be popular in Burnaby. The Burnaby NOW, local businesses and organizations, and the Burnaby school district, team up and ask city students to design newspaper ads for the special section. Every year, the students produce insightful, creative, thoughtful – and often humourous – advertisements that highlight the strengths of their subjects and often carry compelling messages. The businesses and groups get to choose which students’ advertisement they want to run in the section and our photographer visits the students. The ads and the students’ photos are put together by our team at the Burnaby NOW and another Design an Ad section is complete. The ads are also on display at Lougheed Town Centre until April 13. I would like to thank all of the students, teachers and participating

advertisers who continue to make thi annual project a real success! Lara Graham Director of Sales and Marketing Burnaby NOW

It begins at birth – early learning supports academic success. Burnaby was one of the first districts in B.C. to provide programs for children ages zero to five. Today, StrongStart B.C. Centres in 12 of our schools engage children and their parents/caregivers. At the centre of it all are the 23,000-plus kindergarten to Grade 12 students in our 49 schools. To support their journey, the district provides a variety of opportunities in languages, sports, career programs, visual and performing arts and new this fall, multi-age cluster classrooms and the AP Capstone Diploma Program. Adults are still learning, too, and Burnaby schools offer one of the largest district adult education programs in B.C. Its programs open new doors, leading to high school comple-

tion, English language skills or a new career. We are proud of our students, our staff and our schools – but we recognize that we can’t and we don’t, create student success and achievement on our own. For behind the face of each of our learners is a family who provides that bridge of support. Our community is also key. They make a difference beyond the classroom, providing basic needs like food, clothing and safety – needs that must be met before learning can take place. Thank you Burnaby for the support that you provide to our schools – helping our students prepare for tomorrow, today. Together, we make the difference. Stand tall and be proud of Burnaby’s public schools. Baljinder Narang, Chair, Burnaby Board of Education
