More needs to be done

Advocate:

Burnaby’s Ken Kramer, who ran for the Liberals in the last provincial election, welcomes the government’s new plan to make B.C. more accessible for people with disabilities, but he wants real action to make that happen.

Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

B.C. Premier Christy Clark unveiled an accessibility strategy Monday, but a Burnaby disability advocate who ran for the Liberals wants to see action. Ken Kramer, who ran in BurnabyLougheed in the last provincial election, has spent roughly three decades advocating for people with disabilities. “From a disability advocate standpoint, clearly we always want more,” Kramer told the NOW, following the plan’s launch in Vancouver on Monday. “From a disability-community perspective, we want to see definite results. We’re moving in the right direction, but I think that clearly there are areas this report is lacking on completely, the one really big omission is around home supports.” Kramer is a lawyer and has muscular dystrophy and has a home support worker to help him with day-to-day living, something people with disabilities need to participate in the workforce. “If I can’t get up in the morning, and I can’t get dressed, and I can’t get to work … a job isn’t going to do me much,” he said. “It’s great there are jobs out there for folks with disabilities, but for someone to be able to work that has a disability, there

separate disability assistance from income assistance. “I think there are definitely some positive things in the report, and an example of that is this recognition that people who are receiving disability benefits under the provincial module have always been lumped in with the income assistance approach. A lot of people who are receiving those benefits feel that can be really demeaning. They are not there by choice; they are

The report outlined 12 key areas of focus, and Kramer lauded the inclusion of transportation, housing and income support. In particular, Kramer was pleased with the government’s plan to

The Burnaby school district plans to hold off as long as possible before cancelling 400 summer school classes for 7,500 students next month. “We’re delaying any decision until the summer program is clearly no longer viable,” Burnaby board of education chair Baljinder Narang told the NOW. “We’re kind of between a rock and a hard place. We don’t know how to manoeuvre on this one. The government

has lifted its partial lockout for teachers, but we have no decision in terms of how the teachers are going to view this.” As it stands now, the 390 teachers tentatively hired for the summer session are on a fullscale strike that will wipe out classes unless the B.C. Teachers’ Federation announces a plan that would allow them to go ahead. But Burnaby Teachers’ Association president and BCTF executive member-at-largeelect James Sanyshyn said the union is busy focusing on Plan A – hammering out a collective agreement.

“We don’t have a position officially on summer school that says, ‘Here’s what we’re going to do at this time,’ because we’re madly trying to work on a collective agreement in time to allow for summer sessions to happen,” he said. The teachers’ federation could still come up with a plan for summer school in the next few days, he said, but it will be up to the board whether its summer program can still go ahead at that time.

Burnaby has had a lot to say about the teachers’ dispute – read it all

Winnipeg artist Steven Nunoda was at the Nikkei Centre in Burnaby on Saturday for the opening of his exhibit Ghostown. Nunoda has created 200 miniature tarpaper models and has added video and audio to create an art installation to memorialize a pivotal moment in his family’s history – the Japanese internment during the Second World War. The piece focuses on immigration, racism, human rights and displaced populations.

the four-year contract – from incorrect email addresses to outdated documents – ever since it was ratified in December 2012. He said the city did not respond within the provincially allotted 30 days to a freedom of information request he filed in February and later refused the request, noting the document would be available “once the review process is complete.” Under the act, municipalities can deny FOI requests if the information will be released within 60 days of receiving the request.

McGowan says that 60 days came and went, but once he and other members of the coalition submitted their delegation application – to question “the secrecy that continues to shroud this major civic expense in a civic election year” – the document was promptly published on CUPE 23’s website. “I think we put some pressure on them,” McGowan told the NOW. “I think part of the reason that it got released was because of the BFC, myself and the media.” But, while the collective agreement is in the public domain, deputy city manager Chad Turpin

said the decision to place the delegation in a closed council meeting is based on the B.C. government’s Community Charter, which outlines topics that are only designated for in camera meetings. “Under the Community Charter, the provincial government spells out what you can discuss in camera,” said Turpin, listing employee contract negotiations, staff personnel issues and land purchases as examples of items limited to in camera discussions. “It’s not really a City of Burnaby decision, it’s a Community Charter decision.”

He said it’s not uncommon for the city to have delegations in closed meetings, especially when the delegation is vague on what they would like to discuss. “It’s really hard to determine what a delegation wants when they give you one line,” he said. “This delegation was not specific in what they wanted to talk about other than contract negotiations in the CUPE contract. That puts it into an in camera situation.” As of Thursday, McGowan has declined to appear at the closed meeting in protest of the city’s “systemic lack of transparency.

Dispute: Parents ‘stuck in the middle’ continued from page 3

“The board may take its decision before we have a formal decision and that’s their business,” he said. Classes are scheduled to begin July 2 for secondary students and July 8 for elementary students. The district told parents in a letter last week it would announce its final decision about summer school a week before startup, but Narang said it could consider pushing that deadline back for secondary classes if there was movement at the bargaining table. “The only one that we may be able to delay by a week would be the secondary, not

the elementary,” she said. Parents, meanwhile, are in limbo. “I’m going to be really annoyed if it ends up not going ahead,” district parent advisory council vice-chair Jocelyn Schonekess said. Like other parents with kids in summer school, she booked all her family’s summer activities for August and put off entering her daughter in July sports camps after registering her for summer school months ago; those camps are now full. Sanyshyn said he sympathizes but blamed the provincial government for the lack of progress at the bargaining table.

“We understand that there are people who caught in the middle of a labour-relations dispute and that’s really unfortunate,” he said, “but we’ve modified our proposal quite dramatically. The salary proposal we tabled is within one per cent of what government had been offering, and yet there’s no desire to bargain fairly.” The Ministry of Education expressed the opposite view in a press release Thursday, saying the teachers’ new wage and benefit demands alone were twice what other unions have settled for and had driven a deal farther out of sight than it had been a week earlier.

Kinder Morgan is keeping an eye on Enbridge’s newly approved Northern Gateway Project, but the company says it will focus on its own plans to twin the Trans Mountain pipeline. “Trans Mountain will continue to watch Enbridge Northern Gateway and other pipeline projects under consideration with interest, but we’re focused on our process and our project proposal,” said Ian Anderson, Kinder Morgan Canada president in an emailed statement. “We’ll continue to listen to communities, First Nations and British Columbians both through the National Energy Board process and our engagement and are committed to proceeding with respect and in consideration of local and national interests.” On Tuesday, the federal government approved Enbridge’s plan to build a new pipeline from Alberta to the B.C. coast, but the company must meet the 209 conditions set out by the National Energy Board’s joint review panel. The actual construction of the line

is still a long way off, given the multiple legal challenges against the project and opposition from First Nations. The Enbridge decision means Kinder Morgan is no longer the only pipeline company that can ship oil to the West Coast. Burnaby-Douglas MP Kennedy Stewart used the news of the Enbridge approval as a pitch to vote NDP. “We’ve said an NDP government would set aside this decision. Everybody in B.C. and their dog has said no to this thing, and the Conservatives are just moving ahead regardless,” he told the NOW from Ottawa, shortly after the announcement. “There’s no way it’s going to be built before the next election (in 2015). When we form government next year, we will set aside this decision and put in place a credible environmental review process.” As for Kinder Morgan, Stewart said Tuesday’s decision shows the Conservatives will push projects through, regardless of opposition. “It used to be that these review processes actually meant something,” he said.

Protesters take on smart meters

A few dozen people rallied against smart meters in front of a B.C. Hydro office in Burnaby on Saturday. The rally, organized by Citizens for Safe Technology and the Coalition to Stop Smart Meters, was part of a series of similar events across the province. “We’re really happy with how the rally went; it went quite well. We’d like to see more members out, but considering it was our first time, it went well,” said Mission resident Lori Giesbrecht, one of the organizers of the Burnaby event. The group is concerned about the health impacts of the wireless technology used with smart meters, while B.C. Hydro maintains the devices are safe. The local event was at Burnaby’s Fraser Foreshore Park, across the street from a B.C. Hydro office on Glenlyon Parkway. – Jennifer Moreau

according to polls, make up the majority of British Columbians – have repeatedly charged that the National Energy Board recommendation overlooks significant environmental issues. Even voters in Kitimat, which would probably gain the most from the project, symbolically rejected the pipeline. That’s all been noted by the province – a significant wild card – which set out five conditions that must be met before Victoria will give the project its blessing.

The province doesn’t have a veto, but it can create significant difficulties for the pipeline. So while the decision may have been announced, the political and legal battles are just beginning.

IN MY OPINION

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Students’ needs not being met Dear Editor:

I have worked as a teacher for 33 years in the public school system in British Columbia, the past 12 of which have been as a secondary counsellor. The most important part of our work is supporting the social-emotional needs of our students. Only 12 years ago counsellors were able to offer classroom instruction and do valuable preventative work. Today, meeting students’ social-emotional needs has become all but impossible, given the current levels of staffing for teacher-counsellors. Only 12 years ago, I never dreamed the job would be what it has now become. School counselling now involves triage, making quick decisions about who needs our attention most

urgently. Some of the issues we encounter include challenges with learning differences, attention deficit disorder, Internet addiction, poverty, abuse, family breakup, violence, gangs, and drug use and abuse. On a daily basis we deal with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and panic attacks. Sadly, suicidality is not an uncommon occurrence. A healthy, productive, educated society is incumbent upon a strong, financially supported public education system. Students’ academic and social/ emotional needs are not being met at the level that they should be. These are the future citizens of B.C. upon whose educational outcomes we all will rely. We should all be concerned. Kelly Bosello, Burnaby

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Province isn’t trying hard Dear Editor:

It’s hard to be hopeful that the June 10 mandate given to education minister Peter Fassbender by premier Christy Clark is meant to produce a less dysfunctional relationship with the province’s teachers. The mandate directs him to “present options to cabinet on ways to restructure collective bargaining with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation.” There is no mention of a desire to repair relations, much less express a need to come up with a more collegial approach to resolving disagreements. Some might argue that this does not necessarily mean the government will not be open-minded about finding a new and improved way to do business with teachers. But Fassbender has doomed any possibility of that outcome by publicly stating he is looking for a restructuring that provides “longer-term agreements.” Inasmuch as the system already in place provides for that, it’s safe to conclude what he really wants is to find a way to dictate contract terms. Once you do that, of course, you invalidate the collective bargaining concept. And that, as we all know, is what the Liberal government has been trying to do for the last 12 years. Bill Brassington, Burnaby

Mayor must learn to cooperate with others Dear Editor:

When I read this morning that 20 of Greater Vancouver’s 21 mayors had agreed on a new comprehensive transportation

plan I knew without reading the story that it would be Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan who was opposed. He is the most obstructive and least cooperative person I have ever encountered. He opposed and obstructed the Pacific Gateway Project that widened Highway 1 and built the new Port Mann bridge. Almost no new low-income housing has been built in Burnaby in the last 15 years because he refuses to cooperate with the province. The list goes on ad nauseam. The impression I have is that he is opposed to everything and is unable to work constructively with anyone. Just once I would like to read that Mayor Corrigan was working co-operatively to solve our problems rather than working overtime to prevent others from doing so. I live in Burnaby and am embarrassed to be represented by such a Luddite.

Teachers deserve better

Dear Editor:

I support the teachers in this province, they have a great responsibility to teach the students in their classrooms, and they do an exceptional job doing that. However, if the classroom sizes are too big it makes it very difficult to do this. As far as their salaries go, they deserve a better salary than they have now and need to catch up to the other provinces. Peter Fassbender and his fellow MLAs think this is too much. However, if Fassbender and his MLAs want a raise all they have to do is vote one in for themselves. Where is the fairness in that. Cody Tabs, by email

Now it seems like the rush is in to make it look like Yaletown with condos on all 4 corners of every intersection. Is this really progress?

THE BURNABYNOW STORY: “SFU students want Burnaby Mountain gondola in mayors’ transportation plan” – June 16

Comment via BurnabyNOW.com I Eric: Since early 2012, UniverCity (the developers) have gone very quiet on the topic, and various student organizations at SFU have taken up promoting the gondola. I don’t wish to be critical, but the fiscal realities of increasing taxes on homeowners and drivers, and the net benefit test of taxpayerfunded investment in transit clearly points to developing only those projects around the region that serve hundreds of thousands of riders on a daily basis, not four or five thousand a day for six or seven months a year. There are many larger regional issues to address, and to determine an equitable means of paying for those priorities shouldn’t be slowed by protests or complaints about ideas that have already been taken off the table.

Pipeline: City has worked hard to preserve Burnaby Mountain parkland continued from page 6

road” while preserving for all time the forest, wildlife habitat and streams of Burnaby Mountain for public use and enjoyment. In the years since the agreement, the city has committed resources to improve and protect the mountain parkland, streams and wildlife. A contaminated site on the north side of the mountain was rehabilitated and redeveloped into the popular Burnaby Mountain Air Bike Skills Park, opened by the city in 2008. I saw the protection and expansion of Burnaby Mountain Park as part of a city strategy to expand our parkland network. Our city strategy also included the gradual deindustrialization of the Burrard Inlet, which has resulted in the beautiful and publicly accessible foreshore parkland at Barnet Marine Park. This strategy has also achieved major portions of Fraser Foreshore Park on the city’s southern perimeter.

The Kinder Morgan proposal to twin its pipeline through Burnaby and expand its tank farm on Burnaby Mountain flies in the face of the progress we have made in the gradual transition of Burnaby into an urban community. We are far past the point where the expansion of heavy industry should be considered for Burnaby Mountain and the shore of Burrard Inlet. If the National Energy Board approves the Trans Mountain pipeline twinning proposal with its clear implications for a bigger mountain tank farm, new petroleum tunnelling through Burnaby and vastly increased tanker traffic through Burrard Inlet, it will be thumbing its nose at decades of thoughtful planning in Burnaby. It will be acting as though nothing has changed in the Lower Mainland since the early to middle of the last century when refineries and other heavy industries were established on the shores of Burrard Inlet.

Opposition to Kinder Morgan’s proposed pipeline twinning does not imply people in Burnaby are opposed to jobs and economic development or hypocritical because they drive gasoline-powered cars. These arguments are red herrings. For decades, the shoreline of Vancouver’s False Creek has been transformed from sawmills and heavy industry to housing and parkland. What would be the public reaction today if an industry, backed by a federal regulator, tried to force through the re-introduction or expansion of heavy industry on False Creek? Running high capacity oil pipelines through our neighbourhoods is risky. One only has to look at the record of pipeline ruptures in North America, not to mention the July 24, 2007 Trans Mountain rupture that blanketed numerous homes with crude oil in our Westridge neighbourhood. A pipeline through Burnaby Mountain seems risky as well since we live

PSST… WE ARE OPEN

in a seismically active area, close to the Cascadia subduction zone. Significant earthquakes are a certainty in the future. And what about the risk to Burnaby from a significantly expanded Trans Mountain tank farm should a major earthquake hit the region? According to a Metro Vancouver report, Burnaby’s population is expected to grow from 223,000 to 345,000 by 2041, while the region’s population expected to grow from 2.3 million to 3.4 million people in the same time frame. Burnaby is doing its part in accommodating population growth by planning new and expanded town centres, including UniverCity, and expanded parks and conservation areas. If the National Energy Board approves the Kinder Morgan pipeline proposal, it will be a slap in the face to all efforts Burnaby has made to be a regional player. Burnaby’s 1995 agreement with the province and the university reflected

the vision that a vast forest on Burnaby Mountain, teeming with wildlife, and wildlife habitat, could be protected for future generations. Larger tank farms and oil pipelines are not the right vision for Burnaby Mountain and adjacent res-

idential neighbourhoods. The National Energy Board and the federal government should reject Kinder Morgan’s proposal. Lee Rankin served 22 years on Burnaby council. He is a practising lawyer and lives near Deer Lake.

Can you spare some blood? Canadian Blood Services urges Burnaby residents to help combat low inventory Cornelia Naylor staff reporter

Canadian Blood Services is heading into a traditionally dry summer season with the lowest inventories in five years and is calling on Burnaby residents to donate. “We usually see a little dip in the summer time, but it seems to have happened earlier this year,” event co-ordinator Trudi Goels told the NOW, “so we’re just trying to make sure that we have everything in place for the summer.” More than 150 donation appointments are available at two clinics running in

Burnaby over the next couple of weeks. Residents can donate Thursday, June 26 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Telus Day of Giving clinic at Brian Canfield Centre (The Telus boot building at 3777 Kingsway) or Thursday, July 3 from 1 to 8 p.m. at Fortius Sport & Health (3713 Kensington Ave.) Roughly half of all Canadians are eligible to donate blood, yet less than four per cent actually do, according to Blood Services statistics. For Goels, the reasons to get out and donate are simple. “It takes about an hour and you could save somebody’s life,” she said, “so I guess the idea is do you have an hour and would you like to save someone’s life?” To book an appointment, download the GiveBlood app, visit blood.ca or call 1-8882-DONATE (1-888-236-6283).

Dogs jumping from three storeys at SFU Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

SFU’s security department is recommending people keep their dogs on a leash when walking on campus, after three dogs jumped a ledge and fell at least three storeys. Julie Stewart, manager of patrol operations for SFU campus security, told the NOW there have been three instances of dogs jumping a wall on the third level of SFU’s Burnaby campus. The dogs fell three storeys, but she does not know if they survived. The first case was in 2005, the second in 2008, and the most recent in the winter of 2013. Stewart said the dogs were likely running before they leapt and cleared the wall not realizing there was a three-storey drop on the other side. “Dogs don’t understand what’s on the other side if they are going full tilt,” she said. “These things do happen. It’s really unfortunate, it’s up to the owner to make sure the animals are not in an unsafe position.” The wall where dogs are jumping is about three feet high on the 3,000 level of the transportation centre. According to Stewart, there’s an outdoor walkway

along the rooftop, and the wall has signage that says to keep off. Stewart says each incident involved a dog off leash that would have leapt over top of the railing and fell roughly three storeys. Stewart said SFU has no reports of people or children falling from the ledge – just dogs. Since SFU falls under the City of Burnaby bylaws when it comes to dogs, pet owners should keep their canines on a leash, Stewart explained. “It’s beautiful up here, … but please be a responsible pet owner and keep your dog on a leash,” she said. The Vancouver Sun recently ran a story about a similar wall at B.C. Place, in downtown Vancouver, where at least nine dogs have jumped and inadvertently fallen. Dr. Claudia Richter, from the Burnaby Veterinary Hospital, has never seen any thing like it in her practice, and she’s unsure why the dogs would jump. “My guess is that they get excited about something they see, … and they just don’t know that there’s nothing behind the wall,” she said. “I can’t see any medical reason on why they would do that unless they are blind.” Burquitlam Animal Hospital and Kensington Animal Hospital did not have any cases of dogs jumping off walls.

Hazard for dogs: SFU has three reports of dogs jumping over this low wall, three storeys from the ground at the Burnaby campus. The university is urging pet owners to keep their dogs on leashes.

With the public input received at the Southgate Neighbourhood Ideas Open House #1 (held 2013 April 18), City of Burnaby staff have developed a draft Concept Plan for the proposed neighbourhood, one that envisions the transformation, over time, of the existing industrial site (formerly Safeway Distribution Complex and Dairy Plant site) into a community of complete neighbourhood areas, each of which express a deﬁnitive sense of place and character. At the heart of the proposed Southgate Neighbourhood is a ﬁve-acre central park, which stretches over a quarter mile through the centre of the development site. The draft Concept Plan sets out to create a truly memorable place where residents and the broader Edmonds Town Centre community will want to live, shop and play.

Native plants: Volunteers spent Saturday, June 7, repotting more than 1,300 seedlings that will grow in the city’s nursery for two years, until they are mature enough to be planted outside.

Volunteers help trees Volunteers from local streamkeeping groups and Rotaract, the youth wing of Rotary, spent last Saturday, June 7, repotting more than 1,300 seedlings at the City of Burnaby’s nursery. The seedlings were donated to the city, but they need to be raised in the nursery for two more years before they

can be planted outside to help bolster the native plant population. Volunteers from Rotaract and the Byrne Creek, Stoney Creek and Eagle Creek streamkeeping groups volunteered to help. –Jennifer Moreau

ON BEAUTIFUL FACE LAKE

O Canada: Members of the B.C. Boys’ Choir pose for a photo at Deer Lake Park. The choir, which includes 17 singers from Burnaby, is embarking on a cross-Canada tour.

Young singers from Burnaby will be on the road this summer as part of a coast-to-coast tour of the country. Seventeen boys from Burnaby are part of the B.C. Boys’ Choir, which is embarking on a cross-Canada tour from June 27 to July 26 – including singing O Canada on Parliament Hill as part of the televised noon-hour Canada Day show. Bicheng An, Charley Cai, Timothy Cameron, Luca Ferronato, Luke Gair, Manvir Gupta, Oliver Hermansen, Daniel Lee, Jared Legovini, Jeremy Lucero, Zyon McLean, Isaac Morgan, Kalyan Rath, Marko Sukunda, Joshua Yang, Kevin Ye and David Zhang are part of the group, which is on tour to mark the choir’s 45th anniversary. Their show, O Canada Our Home –

Songs and Stories of Canada, includes choral favourites from across Canada including Northwest Passage, I’se the B’y, This Is My Home, J’entends le Moulin and Frobisher Bay. “The goal for this show and tour is to celebrate Canada, this great country, the people, cultures and traditions – through songs and stories,” said the choir’s executive director, Margot Holmes. “We are even dramatizing the poem We Are More, by B.C.’s Shane Koyczan, who presented it during the opening ceremonies of the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver.” The choir will be led by artistic director Tony Araujo and associate conductor Edette Gagne. The singers are being joined on tour by the Abbotsford Virtuosi violin

ensemble, directed by Calvin Dyck. The ensembles will perform in locations across the country, including Montreal, Ottawa, Gros Morne National Park and Corner Brook, N.L.; Charlottetown, Saint John, Toronto, Saskatoon, Banff and more. “It’s such a wonderful opportunity and fantastic cultural experience for these young artists to perform Canadian choral music across our own great nation,” Araujo said in the release. The choir is holding three send-off concerts before the tour: Friday, June 20 at St. John Shaughnessy Church in Vancouver; Saturday, June 21 at South Abbotsford Church; and Sunday, June 22 at the Port Theatre in Nanaimo.

Evergreen Line shut down again Cornelia Naylor staff reporter

The equipment failure on the Evergreen Line project that shut down North Road Tuesday won’t affect the construction schedule for the new SkyTrain line, according to the Ministry of Transportation. North Road was reopened Tuesday night after a beam on the truss – a giant crane used to move sections of concrete SkyTrain guideway – was repositioned. It had shifted earlier in the day, crushing a work platform. Construction on the elevated guideway on North Road was stopped for an investigation. No one was injured during the incident and there was no damage to the Evergreen Line guideway or columns, or other property, according to a Ministry of Transportation press release Wednesday afternoon. It is the second time in three months work on the Evergreen Line has been halted because of equipment failure. On March 14, a 300-tonne beam dislodged on the line, shutting down Como Lake Avenue.

Each subject fills out a short questionnaire, “filling in the blanks” to let us know about themselves. Meet this week’s featured artist, Lucille Loose: 1. I am Lucille Loose. 2. I spend my time volunteering, watercolour painting, keeping house. 3. Right now I am working on some watercolours, and redecorating bed and bath. 4. The book on my bedside table right now is … I don’t read in bed, but am reading Danielle Steele’s latest novel while I lunch – easy reading. 5. Three songs you’ll find on my iPod playlist are by Celine Dion and Amy Grant (iPod was stolen from my car, so I listen to 103.5 for music). 6. One work of art that inspires me is January Dreams because I can just feel the winter cold as I look at its beauty with the deer gazing at me. 7. One artist who inspires me is Roger D. Arndt because his paintings of the outdoors are so realistic and incredible. 8. My idea of a perfect day is sitting on my deck on a sunny day with a book or latest magazines with a cold drink. 9. My favourite edible (or potable) treat is a hard choice as I enjoy food

World needs more unconditional love HEALTHWISE

Dr. Davidicus Wong

n Homer’s Iliad, Odysseus commands his crew to tie him to his ship’s mast so that he can hear the beautiful but tempting song of the Sirens. With their ears covered, the crew has been ordered to ignore Odysseus’ demands when he is under the influence of the Sirens. In psychiatry, a patient with bipolar disorder may request an Odysseus contract whereby he agrees to be admitted if he is manic and unable to make

appropriate decisions for himself. In other words, he tells his family and doctor, “Don’t do as I say when I am not of sound mind.” I wonder if Homer was warning us of the pitfalls of lust and love. Perhaps young people should not be allowed to marry when they are madly in love. Before they sign their lives away at the end of the wedding ceremony, they should at least produce a doctor’s note certifying that they are capable of making rational decisions. Joseph Goldstein has called infatuation and desire the near enemy of love, and by love, I mean unconditional love – agape, metta, lovingkindness or brotherly love. The former is obsessive and possessive. It seeks to take, to hold and con-

trol. Unconditional love is giving, forgiving and letting go. Pleasure and the satisfaction of our material wants are worldly counterfeits of true happiness. Unlike enduring happiness, they soon give way to emptiness and disappointment. So too do infatuation and desire – counterfeits of real love – give way to disappointment, disillusionment and ill will. It’s OK to enjoy a delicious meal, a cup of coffee and a relaxing massage, but don’t expect pleasure alone to give you a complete and meaningful life. It’s OK to fall in love as we all do, but that alone is not enough to sustain meaningful relationships over a lifetime. Romantic love is a lens that creates a distorted image of another,

magnifying positive qualities and blurring the rough edges that will later prickle us. Unconditional love allows you to see and accept the whole, appreciate beauty and genuinely want the best for the other. Becoming a father and holding in my arms a helpless and beautiful child who is completely dependent on parental care has helped me grow in love. As each of my children grow, stumble, fall and succeed, the most important thing that I can teach them is that I see the best in them and love them completely just as they are. Sometimes as parents, our children may feel that our love is dependent on their innate qualities or their behaviour, and being human, egos can get in

the way and we may love imperfectly. But in the end, the well-being of our children takes precedence over our own. Real happiness and the meaning in our lives come from our relationships. The purpose of our lives is to accept love and learn to love more fully. We are given a lifetime. Love is limitless. Unlike its near enemy that can only be given to few and for a limited time, our love can extend and benefit many even beyond our lifetimes. When I think of our potential for love, I use the metaphor of the water cycle. Water is a key constituent of our bodies and we share it with the whole world. Water is excreted and evaporates from our bodies. Water condenses

into clouds. It falls as rain and snow. It flows in rivers to lakes and oceans. We drink it and it sustains physical life. Throughout our lives, we receive love in many forms from countless people. We depend on the kindness of strangers, our teachers, coaches, parents, mentors, friends and the people of the past who have worked to create the places we live and the systems that sustain our lives. Love is not ours to keep for ourselves or share with just a few. It has been freely given to us to give out and give forward. In your life, what gifts great or small have you received that you cannot fully give back? How are you paying this forward? Dr. Davidicus Wong is a family physician.

PETS

Adopting Pets Far from Home

With increased travel, pet lovers are adopting pets far from home. California, Texas and Mexico seem to be common places pets get adopted from these days. Then of course, there are pets moving in with their families to beautiful BC from the east. So what does this mean for all the existing and new pet parents? It means a lot. Adopting a pet is a major life decision – you are bringing in a new member into your family, after all.

Pets that come from southern US or Mexico may be exposed to potential infections that are unheard of in BC – these include deep fungal infections (which can stay dormant in a pet’s body for years) and heartworm (a parasitic infection of the lungs). Pets previously exposed to harsh weather and a high UV-light index can also be prone to skin problems we’re not used to seeing in our pets in BC. Other more uncommon infections may be imported with pets adopted from Asia, South America or Europe. While few of these diseases have potential to spread to other pets, the pet most at risk would be the one carrying the dormant infection. Adopted pets frequently lack some form of care in their history (as well as an incomplete medical history record). Thus, a non-infectious underlying medical condition can also be a concern in newly adopted adult or geriatric pets. Adult cats that have lived outdoors previously in endemic regions for life-threatening viral illness (feline AIDS and feline leukemia) are best confirmed to be negative for such illness before or soon after adoption. What can pet-parents do? Be thorough. It’s important to do your research prior to adopting a pet from a different geographical region, even within Canada. Enquire if the pet has been receiving long-term preventive care based on the surroundings. An example would be ongoing heartworm preventives for a pet living in Ontario or California. Ask if the cat being adopted has been an outdoor pet previously, which would indicate a need for AIDS (different from HIV in people) and Leukemia testing, if it hasn’t already been performed. Ask for a copy of previous medical history, if available. Ask

NIGHT WISH

KIT KAT

6 Year, 6 Month, 3 Week old, Spayed Female, Domestic Short Hair, Mixed Breed.

8 Year, 3 Month, 2 Week old, Neutered Male, Domestic Short Hair, Mixed Breed.

SPCA ID: 219579

Night Wish is a very loving and affectionate cat. She’s a talker that is more laid back than playful. Her favourite place to be is curled up in her little bed. This tells us that she would probably be a lap cat too! Her new family may try to encourage her in to some playtime for exercise as she could shed a pound or two. Her coat is beautiful in colour and soft to the touch. It’s recommended that she be brushed daily to keep her coat healthy. She’ll need to be fed a good quality weight reduction diet. If you’re looking for an awesome cat and not kittens, Night Wish may just may be the gal for you!

SPCA ID: 324635

Kit Kat found his way to the Burnaby SPCA through the Drive for Lives Program. He’s a big boy, and loves to talk to you whenever you pass by. He is absolutely beautiful! He is currently sharing his space with other cats but he would prefer to be the only cat in his forever home. Kit Kat has a big personality that will warm your heart with his super easy-going and affectionate temperament. So if you are looking for a new best friend and want a big guy like Kit Kat, come on in to the Burnaby SPCA (as he has just been transferred here in hopes of finding a home) and meet him today!

FRANKIE

FONZIE

4 Year, 2 Week old, Male, Chihuahua, Mixed Breed.

4 Year, 2 Week old, Male, Terrier, Mixed Breed.

SPCA ID: 334270,

if there is a specific medical reason for the pet being on its current diet. Once you have brought the new family member to your house, prioritize a complete veterinary evaluation with your veterinarian. Let your veterinarian know where the pet has come from. This would help potentially detect underlying medical concerns, as well as give your veterinarian a chance to ensure that the diet and preventive care are in line with the individual pet’s needs. For example, pets adopted from Alberta may not be current on flea prevention, which would be absolutely necessary year round for a dog or cat with an outdoor lifestyle in the lower mainland. While I recommend all pets to have veterinary health insurance, I strongly advice health insurance for newly adopted adult pets, as a veterinary examination at adoption does not preclude the chance of medical bills in the near future. For pets that are moving with their families, again taking the pet to a veterinarian soon after moving would help ensure that you are following a veterinary health program suitable for the new region you have moved into. Because of all the pets moving in and out of lower mainland with their families or through adoption, it is even more important than before to keep them up to date with vaccination, flea, tick and deworming programs. By Dr Jangi Bajwa, DVM Dr Bajwa is a Veterinarian at Hastings Veterinary Hospital in Burnaby since 2005 and is BC’s first Veterinary Dematology Resident.

Frankie is a Retriever in a Chihuahua’s body! This wee fella LOVES to play fetch, which is a great thing because he needs to shed a few pounds. He has responded well to positive reinforcement training along with the kindness received from staff/volunteers. He would do best in an adult-only home and with owners who have had previous experience. In addition to regular exercise and training, Frankie needs frequent bathroom breaks so he is more effectively housetrained.

SPCA ID: 334271

Fonzie is a smart and alert boy and although he is apprehensive when meeting new people and in new situations, he does warm up quickly once surrounded with assurances and kindness. In his ideal home, Fonzie will have plenty of training and exercise and we think he would do well in a household with another canine to help boost his confidence. He has responded well to positive reinforcement training and his new owner should be willing to help work on his housetraining.

MIKO

RIO

13 Year, 4 Week old, Neutered Male, Himalayan, Mixed Breed.

1 Year, 1 Week old, Female, Budgie, Mixed Breed.

SPCA ID: 332605,

Miko is a wonderful, mature and handsome boy looking for a compassionate home. He may play hide and seek with you at first as he’s on the shy side, but he’s incredibly gentle and has a soulful personality. He was left behind when his owners moved so he may need extra loving care initially until he feels more secure. His beautiful coat will require daily care and he recently had a dental scaling/cleaning. Miko is looking for a forever home, one where he need never worry about being abandoned.

SPCA ID: 334895

Wanting to add some sweet music to brighten your life? Rio is up for the job! This beautiful little budgie was found as a stray in Burnaby. No one ever claimed this musical gal so she is now hoping to find that special human. Rio would also love to live with another budgie.

The BCSPCA cares for more than 32,000 homeless, abused and injured animals each year, including more than 1,000 animals in Burnaby. The non-profit society receives no provincial government funding and is completely reliant on community support for most of its services.

Best plants for droughts GREEN SCENE Anne Marrison

hen the sun is hot and there’s little time for watering, it’s a big time-saver to have drought-resistant plants in the garden – and if you know what to look for, the plants themselves will tell you how they conserve water. Some plants resist drought because their leaves are very finely cut threads, which give virtually no moisture back into the atmosphere. The annual cosmos is one of these. Some cosmos are two metres tall, others just 20 centimetres, but all make a delicate cloud of green studded with large, usually pink or white flowers. Another annual with filigree leaves is the blue, white or pink flowered nigella (Love in a Mist). Then there’s the perennial Coreopsis verticillata, which makes a fluffylooking leafy mat of yellow daisies that slowly

expands over the years. At the other extreme are plants that store water in their leaves. A cactus can store large amounts, but in our southwest B.C. climate, you’re far more likely to run across Sempervivums (Hen and Chickens). These grow in rosettes, which increase so thickly they shoulder out weeds. Their colour varies from red to green. Many mix the two colours in diverse mixes of stripes or coloured tips. Sempervivum archnoidium is covered with white cobweb-like threads. All are very hardy, perennial and drought-resistant. Sometimes an older rosette throws up a scalystemmed, small but exoticlooking flower cluster. The rosette then dies, but younger rosettes soon fill the gap. The annual portulaca also stores water in its succulent leaves, which are said to be edible (like the vegetable purslane). Portulaca loves poor soil and dry places. Baby portulacas need water, but they soon grow out of it and go on to produce brightly coloured little rose-like flowers despite our long summer

THE BLACK ONE PIECE

droughts. Needle-like leaves are another sign of droughtresistance. These include rosemary leaves and the needles of pines. Other plants have lacy leaves like yarrow, or narrow leaves like ornamental grasses and the perennial Armeria (Thrift). Grey-leaved plants are great drought-resisters and often use more than one technique to do so. For instance, Stachys lanata (Lambs Ears) has grey leaves with a wooly surface. The greyness reflects light while the fine hairs help to trap moisture. Some artemesias, such as Lambrook Silver, not only are grey but also have finely-split leaves which reduce the evaporation of water. Other plants have a waxy surface to reduce water loss. Acanthus is one that has a thick surface skin; others, like carnations and pinks, have a thinner but still effective skin. Virtually all droughtresistant plants are sunlovers. That’s why watersaving is so large on their agenda. Send gardening questions to her via amarrison@shaw. ca.

Brothers in arms: Vancouver Whitecaps FC residency players Mark Baldisimo, left, and younger brother Matthew, right, of Burnaby will be heading to the U.S. Soccer Development Academy championships in Indiana this weekend with their respective under-18 and u-16 soccer teams.

Finding differences in the games of Burnaby soccer brothers Mark and Matthew Baldisimo is not that simple. Aside from chosing different numbers on their respective Vancouver Whitecaps FC residency team jerseys, older brother Mark and 16-year-old Matthew have few other distinguishing qualities. Both are defensive-minded midfielders with a strong minor soccer pedigree in Burnaby and participation on provincial age-group teams. Matthew was named to Canada’s under-15 roster for a match in Mexico in 2013, the same year Mark was playing in Germany for a top-flight youth team. The two brothers both started in 20 of 26 games for their respective under-16 and u-18 residency teams this season. They both root for FC Barcelona and list Chinese food as their favourite edible. The two teams they play for are also remarkably similar.

Aresh Beytoei won two black belt finals at the Karate B.C. provincials at the Richmond Olympic Oval earlier this month. Beytoei won both the men’s black belt kumite or sparring titles in under-67 kilograms and at open weight for the Burnaby Karate Academy. BKA martial artist Isaac Mand was a triple gold medalist, winning the 16 and 17 advanced u-61kg, the 18 to 20 advanced

under-68kg and the men’s u-60kg black belt finals. Brendan Ly won the men’s plus-84kg, while also placing second in the 18 to 20 advanced plus-78kg final. Jai Sanghera and Kyle Macmillan both won their respective 16/17 advanced u-68 and u78kg sparring divisions. Tai Joel was runner-up to Mand in the teen kumite final and a winner at 14/15 u-57kg.

We hated it because most of the time it was fitness.” But that has all changed now and attention to training is all in a day’s work within the Whitecaps’ program. “I think we are very similar,” agreed Mark. “Our personalities and how we play as well. We’re really quiet people off the pitch, but on the pitch we come alive. We’re (both) strong on the ball and move the ball well. Getting stuck on our tackles is also something we take on with any team we play.” Unlike Matthew, Mark’s first tryout at a u-16 Whitecaps combine did not lead to an invitation. He played in both the Metro and HPL leagues before going overseas. “It was a good experience and it worked out well, too,” Mark said, adding he was contacted by the ‘Caps upon his return home and this time he stuck. It just doesn’t get any better than to be in the biggest youth soccer tournament in America with a sibling, said Mark.

Jacob Mand won the 14/15 u-63kg kumite, while Parris Gill placed third. Arjun Gill, Kieran Quan and Masaki Soehardhi also placed top three in 14/15 kumite. Nikkei Shito-Ryu silver medallists in advanced black belt Matthew Chang was second at 18 to 20 u-78kg, while Andrew Jones was runner-up in 16/17 plus-76kg. In women’s sparring, BKA’s

WLA Lakers power play good luck in Langley Tom Berridge sports editor

Burnaby’s power play was money in the bank for the Western Lacrosse Association Lakers. The senior A club scored five straight goals with the extra man en route to a 5-4 win over the Thunder at the Langley Events Centre on Wednesday. Trailing Langley 4-0 late in the second period, Robert Church sparked the Lakers’ comeback, scoring two of Burnaby’s three power-play markers in a four-minute span on two Trent Hawke penalites, including a five-minute elbowing major. The Lakers also made the Thunder pay for its only two misdemeanors in the

final frame. Alex Gajic tied the game from Dane Stevens and Church midway through the period, before Scott Jones added his second of the game and the game-winner four minutes later with the man advantage from Church and Casey Jackson. Tyler Richards got the win in goal for Burnaby, stopping 24 shots. Former Burnaby junior keeper Brodie MacDonald was the busier of the two, facing 48 shots from the Lakers, who outshot the home club 34-17 in the final two periods. The win improved Burnaby’s road record to 3-1 and 4-3 overall, bringing the Lakers even with Langley into third place. Burnaby hosts Maple Ridge at the Bill Copeland centre on Friday at 7:45 p.m.

Soccer: It’s a dream of all of them continued from page 35

“I think it’s very special. We’re very close,” he added. “Obviously, it’s going to be a big tournament and a great challenge for us in moving on in our careers. But I think we can actually win it. We have a great squad, great players and we’re a good group.” Matthew will join other Burnaby teammates Terran Campbell, Radid Rahiem, Terrell Smith, goalie Luciano Trasolini and Xu Qugong on the u-16 team, while Mark will be joined by Titouan Chopin

on the senior squad in Indiana. “We haven’t really reached our prime performance yet. I think they are still to be unleashed,” Mark said. Regardless of the outcomes, there is still a lot of soccer left to be played in the Baldisimo family. Ten-year-old Jeffrey is currently making his way through the Burnaby minor soccer system. “Hopefully, one of us, and it’s a dream of all of ours, that we’ll make it. If all of us do that would be great,” Mark said.

Harpreet Sidhu won both 18 to 20 advanced plus-60kg and the women’s plus-68kg. Isabel Chan won the 16/17 advanced plus-48kg sparring, over finalists Vanessa Vung and Vickie Gialleli of Nikkei. Chan also won the 18 to 20 u53kg over Gill. Chan was third in women’s u-50kg sparring as well. Nikkei’s Claudia Laos-Loo won the 16/17 advanced kata and was third in u-53kg kumite behind BKA’s Rika Wong and Zoe Ye. Natasha Harland also placed third. Zoe Fong and Stephanie Zaborniak placed first and second, respectively, in 14/15 advanced sparring. Pawan Sidhu and Aya Kitaoka were also one-two in 16/17 advance kumite. Alexandra Zaborniak won the 16/17 gold at u59kg. Angelica GomezLalonde and Cassia Kitaoka both placed in their respective 14/15 weight classes.
