Hospital flagged in report ‘Urgent patient-safety concern’ highlighted in Fraser Health review Cornelia Naylor staff reporter
Burnaby Hospital took a pounding in a recent provincial review of the Fraser Health Authority. “Burnaby Hospital is showing flags in nearly all patient-safety indicators,” states the report, summing up a long list of deficiencies found at the local health-care facility. Topping the list was the hospital’s performance on so-called “nursingsensitive adverse events” – pneumonia, urinary tract infections, fractures and pressure ulcers that patients get from their stay in hospitals. Among its peers, Burnaby was the worst hospital in the country for such events from 2010 to 2012, doubling the national average. The report called the findings an “urgent patient-safety concern” and recommended Fraser Health undertake an immediate review of the issue to identify root causes and take “urgent steps” to fix the problem. Burnaby also performed worse than 97 per cent of its peers across the country for treating patients admitted with fractured hips within 48 hours, a crucial factor in the recovery of elderly patients.

he NOW’s Jennifer Moreau toured Kinder Morgan’s tank farm to see the fire safety equipment first-hand, but is the company prepared to fight a major fire? Burnaby’s deputy fire chief doesn’t think so and says the company is contravening the city’s bylaw on fire safety. Both sides allege the other is being uncooperative, and in the middle of it all are 1.6 million barrels of crude, close to homes and schools. ◆ t’s an overcast July day on the grassy slopes of Burnaby Mountain, and the smell of crude picks up with the breeze. The site is covered in tall grass, wiry dandelions and 13 massive storage tanks that hold oil brought from Alberta through Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline. The company’s Rob Hadden, Craig Telford and PR rep Lisa Clement have invited the Burnaby NOW to see the facility’s fire safety equipment. The first line of defence is detection, the men explain, and there are “fire eyes” and wires on the tanks that act as sensors, should the oil ignite. The sensors trigger alarms monitored 24/7 in Burnaby and Edmonton, and there are systems attached to the tanks that spray foam to suppress fires. “You can’t use water on a petroleum fire,” Hadden says. “All you do using water is spread the fire out.” Kinder Morgan also has one

Crude storage: Rob Hadden, an operations supervisor with Kinder Morgan, says the company has people who can fight fires at the tank farm, although the fire department says the opposite. foam trailer (and another one on the way) that can be deployed in the event of an emergency. The newest piece of equipment is a shiny red fire-water pump from Texas. Thankfully, the company has never had to use the equipment in a real scenario. “We’ve been here for 60 years now, and we haven’t had a tank fire,” Hadden says. “They do happen, … but we’ve never had one.” Kinder Morgan has trained staff to operate the equipment, and Hadden estimates they have 20 people who can be called on in the event of a fire. “Reality is, in the middle of the night, we are manned here, but we have one guy. He’s going to

call 911,” Hadden says. “Initially, that manpower on site will be our guy, the security guard, and the fire department. … That’s why we want to have a relationship with the fire department, so they are not getting here and seeing (the new equipment) for the first time.” Hadden says they’ve invited the fire department to see the new equipment, since they will be called on for the actual firefighting, but they haven’t received any committal response. “We’re struggling with Burnaby right now,” Hadden says. “It would be nice if they were more cooperative. … Regardless, there are still 13 tanks on this hill with a lot of oil.

have to respond effectively with the fire department.” Hadden even expressed concern that the fire department may not show up if Kinder Morgan calls with an emergency. “I don’t know what their status is if we were to call 911,” he says. ◆ urnaby’s deputy fire chief, Chris Bowcock, is the tank farm’s most outspoken critic when it comes to fire safety, and he has a background working in the oil industry with tank farms. Bowcock says Kinder Morgan’s ability to respond to fires has decreased over the years, and the company expects the fire department to make up for it.

Tank farm: Kinder Morgan, city fire department at odds continued from page 3
“We don’t believe they have any firefighting capabilities,” he told the NOW. “They have equipment, but they don’t have anyone to operate it.” According to Bowcock, the deal with other local oil facilities – like Chevron, Suncor and Shell – is that the facility will fight its own fire, while the department protects the surrounding community and helps supply water. Kinder Morgan used to have a fire truck but got rid of it (along with associated personnel) and didn’t notify the fire department of the changes, Bowcock says. “Currently, the fire department believes Kinder Morgan is in contravention of the fire bylaw on several points,” Bowcock says. Furthermore, Kinder Morgan has refused to provide a comprehensive version of the emergency response plan for the current tank farm, Bowcock adds. “When I insisted, they gave us an emergency response plan for the entire pipeline with all the references for the tank farm removed,” Bowcock says. “Also, when I asked specifically for the details on the storage tanks and written protocols for how they plan the fire protection for the storage tanks, I was told by Kinder Morgan that they have none.” Hadden conceded that there is no plan specifically for the tank farm, but the company is working on one. It’s in draft form, and Kinder Morgan is hoping for input from the fire department. According to Bowcock, on May 30, the fire department met with Kinder Morgan, and the company disclosed it had no ability to provide any personnel for hands-on fire protection. Bowcock says that was the first time the
company admitted to having no capability to fight fires. Bowcock says Kinder Morgan could call backup personnel from other parts of Canada and the U.S., but that would mean letting the fire burn until they arrive, something that concerns him given the toxic fumes that would result. Hadden explains that refineries are considered more hazardous because their products are more flammable. However, Bowcock says the industrial standards for fire protection treat petroleum with the same degree of hazard rating for refined products. “In fact, crude petroleums have some event potential that are extremely catastrophic that don’t exist for refined products,” he says. ◆ inder Morgan wants to more than triple the storage capacity on Burnaby Mountain, as part of its proposed pipeline expansion. The company would add 14 new tanks, and replace one old one, bringing the total to 26 and the volume to roughly 5.6 million barrels. The fire department has already raised several safety concerns via a request for information through the city, as part of the National Energy Board hearing process, but the company’s response was inadequate, according to Mayor Derek Corrigan. “The responses received to date from Kinder Morgan have been evasive and do not adequately address fire staff (and more broadly city staff) concerns that potential risks and impacts of a fire event at Burnaby Mountain terminal can be appropriately responded to by the company,” the mayor said in a media release. Kinder Morgan spokesperson Ali Hounsell has stated the company will pro-

vide “more detailed emergency response plans for the expansion” in the future, but that doesn’t sit well with Bowcock. “They have no ability to respond in any way to any fire, so how is a future risk assessment and detailed response plan going to change that at all?” he asks. ◆ hen asked why the fire department hasn’t met recently with Kinder Morgan, Bowcock says it’s because the company wants the firefighters to take over responsibility for handling onsite fires. “They’ve asked us to get involved, and they want us to take on the entire protection within the facility, and absolve them of the firefighting responsibility within the facility, and we’re not agreeing to do that,” Bowcock says. It’s no secret the city is against the pipeline expansion, and the mayor has said he will stand in front of a bulldozer to stop it. But Bowcock says there’s been no political interference from the city.

IMPRESS WITH A HEALTHY SMILE!
“The mayor has never asked us to take a position one way or the other,” Bowcock says. “The fire department’s core mission is to be advocates for fire safety, prevention and response within the city, regardless of political parties or interests.” ◆ he question remains: Where does it go from here? The fire department wants Kinder Morgan to fight its own fires. In the event of an emergency, the department would still respond but expects to work under the direction of Kinder Morgan’s staff, especially because local firefighters haven’t been trained to deal with crude. Hadden disagrees with the fire department’s assertion they can’t fight fires and reiterates that their staff are trained to operate the equipment. “We’ve also put the invitation out to Burnaby (firefighters) that we are providing training courses to our own folks, and we’d like to invite them as well,” he says. twitter.com/JenniferMoreau

Scouts Canada: A Canadian Tradition of Community Volunteering By Kelina Kwan Volunteering has truly become a Canadian part of our culture and a tradition bringing people together to build community.
CAMPFIRE WITH VICTORIA GROUP AT VICTORIA SCOUT HALL
One of those volunteering traditions is Scouts Canada. For more than 100 years Scouts Canada has brought a world of adventure, outdoor experience and friendship to 17 million Canadian youth. Scouts Canada is one of the largest volunteer-run organizations in Canada: 27,000 volunteers nation-wide; over 12,000 in the Pacific Coast Council; and between 200 and 300 volunteers in Burnaby alone. Viki Fanous, Area Support Manager and Verna Adamson, Burnaby Area Commissioner Youth explain how Scouts Canada helps shape Canadian communities. Viki Fanous says what makes scouting a community-building activity is that their programs are run at the grass root level, they focus on the need of the community. “We take input from youth and families, so the programs are really meeting the need of their specific area… they feel they are part of the community, so we can engage them to get more involved with their own community.” Verna Adamson proudly notes how many well-known Canadians have been Scouts. Including Burnaby’s own Michael J. Fox, singer song-writer Gordon Lightfoot, and Free the Children founder Craig Kielburger. Craig founded Free the Children when he was only 12 years old, and he credited Scouts Canada for helping him to have the courage to speak

out against injustice, and the leadership to do something about it. Melissa Nemeth, a Beaver leader and Spokesperson - Pacific Coast Council, says how, from a very young age, Scouts are taught about helping others in their own community while having fun. “One of our projects is to make “Christmas Crackers” for Meals-OnWheels using empty toilet paper rolls, Christmas paper, confetti and chocolates etc.” Melissa said. The Beavers, age 5 to 7, are working on their craft activities and at the same time help to make others’ lives better. “Beavers really help families and friends!” said one little Beaver cubs present. Beavers are also involved in the “Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup”. They can see what a big difference a couple of hours’ work makes on the shoreline in their community. “It’s wonderful to hear the kids saying “Oh my God! It looks so much better now! Beavers help take care of the world!” said Melissa Nemeth. From these activities, many scouters grew up to be leaders who have genuinely made a difference in the world community. Scouts Canada hopes to continue to shape and build community through volunteering making the world a better place.

IN MY OPINION
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Firing back at Kinder Morgan prez Dear Editor:
Re: Kinder Morgan president speaks, Letters to the Editor, July 9, Burnaby NOW. In his letter, Ian Anderson, president of Kinder Morgan Canada, agrees with the key points in my study. The report indicated that the National Energy Board, in an unprecedented move, allowed the pipeline company to establish a $136-million fund so Kinder Morgan could push its expansion plans through the regulatory review process at no risk to the company. This I pointed out was totally unfair to the Canadian consumer and to the public interest.
However, there is one deliberately misleading statement made by Mr. Anderson. He says that shippers get higher prices in markets outside of North America. What he fails to disclose is what Kinder Morgan told the National Energy Board – that firm service to the Westridge dock would essentially guarantee reduced supply in North America for Canadian crude oil “and this would lead to higher prices in Alberta for all Canadian producers.” When refineries face higher feedstock prices they pass those prices onto us. This is how they maintain their profit level for their shareholders. Gas prices, heating fuel, diesel, jet fuel – they all go up.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Gas prices will increase continued from page 6
Trans Mountain’s firm shippers PetroChina, Nexen, Astra, US Oil and Cenovus agreed. They told the board during oral cross-examination at the hearing that it wouldn’t be only Asian exports that captured higher prices. They confirmed Trans Mountain’s assertion that all producers would win because the price on every barrel would be greater with reduced supply in North America made possible by firm waterborne access to Westridge in Burnaby. What we have seen with gas prices thanks to Kinder Morgan is nothing compared to what’s coming if Trans Mountain’s Expansion gets approved. Trans Mountain is wholly owned by Texas-based Kinder Morgan Energy Partners. What Mr. Anderson told investor analysts at Kinder Morgan’s annual conference in Houston last January was that greater pipeline export capacity to B.C.’s west coast to serve the Chinese market is crucial so it can raise the price of oil for all producers by an average of $25 per barrel. If he’s right, by the time that price increase makes its way to us it’s about 15 cents more a litre at the pumps. Robyn Allan, Economist
Baldrey loses credibility Dear Editor:
rooms? In My Opinion, July 2, Burnaby NOW. Keith Baldrey had some interesting words about the teachers’ strike. However, towards the end he must have lost interest and repeated a teacher’s account without giving it any thought: “… Seventeen are ELL (English Language Learners), of which one child has two words (“bathroom” and “no”), and a second child has about 150 words. I have two ADHD, one ADD and four seeing the school counsellor because of problems at home ...” I am not going to pretend that I know how to fix all her problems, especially, because I do not even know how infectious ADHD and ADD are (just kidding!). However, I should know something about how to and how not to learn languages. Why do I get the feeling the teacher and Baldrey treat the lack of English as something permanent, like my webbed toes, for example? Take my word that at age seven, the student with the “two-words-only” should have known 10 more words by lunch and an additional 10 before leaving for the day. If not, why not? In a city where we are surrounded by new Canadians, it is painful to watch teachers with such little understanding of how one deals with another language, and, not having questioned the teacher’s silly remarks, Baldrey’s article loses overall credibility.

Speed: Truckers oppose raising limits continued from page 6
Coincidentally (or not?), that period shortly after photo-radar was nixed saw a flurry of horrific car crashes. Mr. Speed, Dufus, and their fast and furious ilk continue to complain that they aren’t allowed to drive as fast as they should – actually, as fast as they’d like. The real menaces on the road, they point out, are those who frustrate them into doing stupid things by sticking close to the speed limit. Using impeccable NRA
logic, they point out, “Speed doesn’t kill, bad drivers kill.” That assumes, of course, that the faster you drive, the better a driver you are. And it appears that this government, extending the Campbell road vision yet again, is acceding to their guttural vocalizations. Interestingly, the B.C. Truckers Association – made up of the people who probably know the road as well as anyone – opposed the government’s proposal to raise speed limits.
Some of their reasoning is instructive. They’re not going to go faster, because it messes with the return on their fuel investment – and it’s simply not safe: a loaded tractor-trailer running at 90 km/h takes 107 metres to come to stop, but adding just 15 km/h to the speed adds 73 metres to the stop distance. And Speed and Dufus will put their complaints pedal to the metal again in no time flat. Bob Groeneveld is the editor of the Langley Advance, a sister paper of the Burnaby NOW.

Italy: Seeking the third generation continued from page 1
for display. His work at the centre has deepened his connection to his Italian background. “I’m surrounded by my culture all the time,” he says. With third-generation immigrants, there’s often a resurging interest in their respective cultures, according to SFU’s Eva Sajoo, the survey’s designer. The first generations come to Canada and work hard to establish themselves, but they have a deep nostalgia for what they left behind, she explains. The second generations tend to be more interested in fitting in and may have a more discreet relationship to their parents’ culture. “But the third generation tends to be the ones that are more likely to look back and say, ‘Isn’t that interesting where grandpa and grandma come from,’” Sajoo says. “They are more interested in the hyphenated identity.” It’s the third-generation Italians that Sajoo wants to hear from with her survey. “We’re looking for behaviours and associations that might influence how people see their sense of identity,” she says. The Italian Cultural Centre is partnering
with Sajoo on the survey and is very interested in the results, she says. Like many cultural centres, the ICC was primarily established for and by firstgeneration immigrants and served as a place to connect and find help settling in a new country. Nowadays, cultural centres – be they Jewish, Chinese or Polish – could be at risk of becoming irrelevant unless they adapt to the changing times, and that includes listening to the needs and interests of the third generations. That’s why Sajoo’s survey findings should have implications for all immigrant communities, not just the Italians. For Papa, he thinks there are aspects of Italian culture that would benefit North American life. “The familial ties is what I would think would benefit North American culture the most, especially considering that North American culture is highly individualistic,” he says. “That I think is very important to take home.” The survey will be online till fall. To participate, go to www.sfu.ca/diasporainstitute.html and click on Italian Identity Project. The results will be posted on the institute’s site.

Rates of infection at the hospital were close to Fraser Health targets last year after a 40 per cent decrease in infection rates since 2009. The report called the improvements a “notable achievement.” “I’m very proud of the work that the staff on the Burnaby site does,” Heritage said, “and I’m extremely proud of their approach to patient care and we absolutely recognize that there is always the possibilities for improvement and we will continue to strive towards those.” The Fraser Health review was ordered by provincial Health Minister Terry Lake last November in response to budget overruns in the health authority and concerns about patient care.

Steamworks taps the Burnaby market Jacob Zinn staff reporter
Liquor stores and the Steamworks Brewpub in Gastown used to be the only places to get the beer maker’s Pilsner or Oatmeal Stout, but now Burnaby residents can cut out the middle man and go straight to the source, short of putting their mouths on the fermentation tanks. Steamworks has opened a taproom within its 30,000square-foot brewery on Williams Street in North Burnaby, offering many of its beers year-round. Even leftover batches of seasonal and specialty brews are sometimes available offseason. “We have some stuff that you can only get here, you can’t get in bottles or cans at stores,” said Marnie Burnett, director of business development for Steamworks. “It’s either sold out, or we just brewed it here or we just brewed it for a special client. “Right now, we have eight beers on tap, and three of them you can only get here.” While the taproom is a change of pace from the Vancouver tavern where the Steamworks namesake comes from, the company has given the Burnaby facility its own identity from the former stoneworkers’ building that they bought about 18 months ago. “When I first saw the pictures of it, I was like, ‘I don’t know, it looks kind of old,’ but when I came in, I was wowed,” said president Walter Cosman of the production facility. “It’s a
1955 building, and it’s got great character.” After the first batch was brewed last September, Steamworks was able to more seriously pursue the idea of an onsite alehouse. Unlike most bars, the taproom is bright, with large windows allowing sunlight to naturally illuminate the tasting area. That, paired with the relaxed atmosphere, has drawn in neighbours to kick back with a few drinks on site. “Some people will come in on their laptops and do some work,” said Burnett. “It’s like going to a café, but you’re having a beer instead.” On tap, the brewery’s selection includes their classic Wheat Ale, seasonal favourites like the autumn Pumpkin Ale and winter Belgian Tripel Blitzen, and the ruby red, “summer in a bottle” Frambozën raspberry ale. They’re also showcasing their light, aromatic Jasmine IPA, made with parts of the tropical flower. The full-flavoured IPA was designed by brewmaster Caolan Vaughan, who has a knack for balancing the elements of a traditional Indian Pale Ale with the scent of the flower. “Beer is all about balance – that is definitely my ethos about brewing,” he said, noting it still boils down to hops, barley, yeast and water. “With those four main ingredients, it’s amazing the depths of flavours you can come up with.” While the quantities of those ingredients can make
Local brew:

or break a beer, Vaughan notes that the components of the ingredients are equally as important. “You’re balancing alcohol, malt sweetness, malt flavour, hop flavour, hop aroma, hop bitterness, yeast. It’s balancing all those different flavours and just using different quantities.” With a state-of-the-art bottle filler that runs 140 bottles per minute, there’s no shortage of beer for anyone who wants to drop by for a quick pint or pick up a growler to go. The taproom is open until 8 p.m. everyday, with the doors opening at 2 p.m. Sunday to Thursday and 11 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. “The main purpose of
the taproom is for anybody to pop in,” said Burnett,
noting the warm reception from area residents. “It’s a
really neat neighbourhood to be in.”

Take care of turtles Association rehabilitates turtle found caught on fishing hook Jennifer Moreau staff reporter
The Wildlife Rescue Association is asking the public not to leave litter and fishing line around local waterways, after an endangered Western painted turtle was brought into the centre with a fishing hook through its cheek. Laura Evans, one of the association’s wildlife rehabilitators, was at Burnaby Lake last Wednesday evening, when she spotted the turtle. At first, she though it was entangled in fishing wire, but it was actually caught on a hook belonging to a man fishing on the dock. The two tried to remove the barb, but there was too much blood, so the reptile was taken to the association’s care centre, headquartered at the lake. Staff removed

the hook, the wound healed quickly, and the turtle was released in the water and swam away. “Most of the time we treat animals that become entangled in discarded fishing line. In this instance, people were feeding the animals off the dock while others were fishing. Unfortunately, all of the animals flocking for food were put in danger,” said Evans. “Staff at Wildlife Rescue have seen some terrible injuries caused by fishing hooks and fishing line, not just to waterfowl but to birds of prey, reptiles and mammals. … We just want to remind everyone that fishing line and other litter can cause suffering and be lethal to wildlife.” The association wants the public to also be careful of feeding animals where people are fishing, as wildlife drawn by food can easily get tangled in the lines. Western painted turtles are endangered in B.C., yet Burnaby Lake is home to one of the largest known groups of the species.

CONVENIENCE STORE OWNERS COMMISSION STUDY
Are illegal cigarettes a problem in Burnaby? More than half of discarded butts at SFU came from contraband, says study Cornelia Naylor staff reporter
Up to half the cigarettes smoked in some Burnaby and New Westminster locations this spring were illegal, according to a study commissioned by the Western Convenience Store Association. The study, which involved gathering butts at 48 locations around B.C., found 51.6 per cent of the butts at SFU’s Burnaby campus and 23 per cent of the butts gathered outside the Justice Institute in New
West were contraband, meaning appropriate taxes and duty had not been paid on them. The study, conducted between April 27 and May 26, involved the butts being collected and checked for branding. Those without brands or with international or “native” brands were deemed contraband. How roll-your-own cigarettes were classified was unclear, but Western Convenience Store Association president Andrew Klukas said they likely represented only a very small percentage, although he admitted “there may be a little bit of skewing there.” Besides SFU and the Justice Institute, 15.8 per cent of the butts collected outside
of Douglas College, 10.9 per cent by the Queen’s Park Care Centre and 6.6 per cent by the New Westminster Lawn Bowling Club were found to be contraband. Overall, the study shows illegal tobacco use is a growing problem in the region, according to Klukas. “We didn’t think we had a problem, unfortunately,” he said. “We thought Manitoba was really the border in this battle.” His organization wants to create more public awareness around illegal tobacco and the fact that those who sell it don’t abide by age restrictions or pay taxes. “They’ll sell to anybody,” Klukas said. “And that tax loss – that represents a school, that represents a teacher, a doctor,
a hospital.” He would like to see stronger enforcement, including jail sentences for repeat offenders. Naturally, contraband tobacco also cuts into legal sellers’ bottom lines. “Legal tobacco sales are still a pretty significant part of the industry,” Klukas said. The Montreal-based company, Niric, which was commissioned to conduct the tobacco study, bills itself online as a business development firm that offers sales and marketing strategies like market analysis and assessment and communications. No one from the company was available to answer questions about the study before press time.

station, according to Burnaby RCMP. Police officers arrived soon after and administered first aid before the victim was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
Burnaby RCMP, with help from Transit Police and security personnel from the Metropolis at Metrotown shopping centre, arrested a 28-year-old man who is well known to police.
The suspect is being held in custody for the courts. Police are still trying to determine the motive for the stabbing. This incident follows a series of stabbings throughout the Lower

‘Burnaby boy’ hits blues fest stage Jacob Zinn staff reporter
S
teve Kozak has performed his style of upbeat, foottapping blues for 30-some years throughout B.C. He’s toured just about every blues festival in Western Canada except the one in his own backyard. Now, Kozak is finally getting his chance to play at the 15th annual Burnaby Blues & Roots Festival, and he’s kicking off the Aug. 9 show on the main stage. “I’m really glad that they’ve invited a Burnaby boy to be part of it,” said Kozak with a chuckle. “I’ve been watching it since its inception, and it’s one I’ve always wanted to do. “In previous years, they had Burnaby Blues Week and they had bands playing at local pubs leading up to it – I got to do that for a few years, but to get to be on the main stage this year is a real thrill for me.” The lifelong Burnaby resident was raised on blues, hearing classic tunes as well as bluesinspired rock ‘n’ roll that hooked him on the rhythmic style. It wasn’t long before he got his own guitar and started playing in high school. “My mom and her friends listened to some blues stuff, and I had some older cousins that did that kind of got me exposed to it early on,” he said. “That’s what I took a liking to, and I started playing that music.” Kozak’s first taste of the genre came from musicians like high-energy blues rocker Johnny Winter, English hard rock quartet Led Zeppelin and early material from Fleetwood Mac. “I’d hear some of those songs that were on the more bluesy side and really liked that stuff,” he said. “Then I started to delve into it a bit more and discovered Muddy Waters and Willie Dixon
– the guys that actually wrote those songs.” In 1977, Kozak had the good fortune to meet Waters after a performance by the legendary blues man at the Old Roller Rink in North Vancouver, around the time Kozak started playing guitar. “He said, ‘There’s not enough young guys playing blues anymore, so you keep at it. It’ll be hard, but just keep chipping away.’ I sort of made a promise to myself and to him at that time,” he recalled with a chuckle. That promise has led to more than three decades onstage, several albums – live and in studio – and some national recognition for his music. “In 2013, the Toronto Blues Society awarded me New Artist of the Year – it took me 30 years to become new again,” he said with a laugh. “But that was great, it was really an honour.” But perhaps the biggest honour for Kozak is to share the stage in Burnaby alongside the likes of Toronto rock band Big Sugar, New Brunswick blues guitarist Matt Andersen, and American soul singer Bettye LaVette. He’s set to bring some of his prized guitars along to mark the occasion. “I use a ‘62 reissue Stratocaster – that one’s from 1984, so it’s one of the last of the Fullerton, California plant, U.S.made ones,” he said. “And I’ve got a 1962 Gibson ES 330 that I play, I really like that guitar. “I’ll probably bring the Strat to the festival just because of the big stage. The other one, it’s a great guitar, but it’s a hollow body and it’s a little more susceptible to the heat outside.” Kozak credits the longevity of the Burnaby festival to the range of people, young and old, who come out to Deer Lake Park year

after year. “Generally, the blues crowd is more of a middle-aged crowd, but I think it appeals to a wide variety of people,” he said. “It would be nice to see more younger people getting into it,
to Cook? Posh has an amazing selection of items! RSVP, Chef’n, Scanpan, Le Creuset, Bamix, Kitchenaid, and more! And cooking classes to keep you inspired!

Symphony in the Park set for this weekend If you haven’t made plans for Sunday night, make them now. Music lovers from around the Lower Mainland will be flocking to Deer Lake Park for the Sunday, July 13 performance by the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra.
The orchestra’s Symphony in the Park concert returns to Burnaby for the 26th year. This year’s concert, conducted by Gordon Gerrard, will feature popular classics including the overture from Johann Strauss II’s Die Fledermaus, John
Williams’ Raiders of the Lost Ark: March, Richard Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries, Antonin Dvorak’s Slavonic Dances and, of course, Peter Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture. This year, 17-year-old violinist Lucy Wang will be featured in
Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto in D Major. The Symphony in the Park concert is set for 7:30 p.m. Families are invited to bring blankets, arrive early – with picnics, if so desired – and settle in for a summer’s evening.
Parking is limited, so it’s recommended that people use alternate transportation if possible. For more, check out www. vancouversymphony.ca and find the summer concerts information under Concerts and Tickets. twitter.com/juliemaclellan

A bounty of fresh ideas for summer reading ARTS SCENE
T
Annie Boulanger
here’s a fresh lot of new books out, some to help you enjoy summer activities, others just for your reading enjoyment. If you’re staying home to watch your garden grow, these books should help you along: Growing Food in a Short Season: Sustainable, Organic ColdClimate Gardening by Melanie J. Watts (Douglas & McIntyre): While this book is aimed at shorter seasons than we enjoy on B.C.’s coast, the author’s experience, suggestions and gardening hints will be of interest to any gardener. Illustrated, including suggestions and recipes for using the fruits and vegetables covered in the text. The Book of Kale and Friends: 14 Easy to Grow
Superfoods, by Sharon Hanna & Carol Pope (Douglas & McIntyre): Just the thing for the backyard gardener who has decided to grow kale for health, beauty and longevity. It’s also full of useful information about gardening in general, as well as growing useful herbs. Plants and recipes are illustrated with bright, colourful photographs. Heart and Soil: The Revolutionary Good of Gardens by Des Kennedy (Harbour Publishing): Kennedy’s short essays on gardening, its trials, revelations, beauty and hard work, are both entertaining and informative. Ranging from the largest trees to the smallest flowers, vegetables and shrubs, how to make a good sod roof, attack invasive ivy, discourage pests, even how to save the Prairies, this book gives you something of interest about
it all. When you’re starting to harvest your bounty, you’ll need some new recipes, as well as the ones in the gardening books, so try 100 Recipes From 100 Books, by Jean Pare (Company’s Coming). This is a colourful, useful book of best recipes from the long-popular Company’s Coming series. Great photos of each dish, easy-to-read format, and exciting but not too exotic ingredients. Varied selection of vegetarian main dishes, as well as a good variety of appetizer, mains, salads, soups and desserts section. For some time travel, read A Century in a Small Town: One Family’s Stories, by Evelyn Sangster Benson (Westminster Publishing). A wonderfully nostalgic trip down one of our local memory lanes. Benson’s stories of early New Westminster, her own and
her parents and grandparents, are entertainingly written, full of interesting detail that will be familiar to those over 50, and a revelation to anyone younger. For longer hikes, there’s Off the Beaten Path: Hiking Guide to Vancouver’s North Shore, by Norman D. Watt (Harbour Publishing): Watt’s clear directions and maps make this a useful guide. He’s also careful to note where you can park to start your hike, and how
long the hike should take. He covers hikes of different levels of difficulty, and some of the photographs of views you’ll see should inspire readers to don their hiking boots.
Be sure to take along A Field Guide to Medicinal Wild Plants of Canada, by Beverley Gray (Harbour Publishing), and A Field

BEAR DISCOVERY • SUMMER 2014
16 • Friday, July 11, 2014 • Burnaby NOW
Books: Plenty of great reads available for summertime continued from page 15
Guide to Edible Fruits and Berries of the Pacific Northwest, by Richard J. Hebda (Harbour Publishing). Two more in this great portable series by Harbour, their fourby-eight-inch, accordionfold pages fit neatly into a pocket or a backpack, with hardly any weight, taking up little room. Each plant is well photographed, as well as a written description of where it can be found, what it’s good for, with precautions and warnings. No hiker should be without these. For reading enjoyment at home and at the beach, there’s Sophie, In Shadow, by Eileen Kernaghan (Thistledown Press): An entertaining and intriguing novel that takes a young girl traumatized by her escape from the Titanic, into the completely different and mysterious world of India in the early part of the 20th century. There, rival factions plotting upheaval involve her in exciting and sometimes mystic adventures. This well-told, fast-moving story can be enjoyed by all ages. Bonsai Love, by Diane Tucker (Harbour Publishing): Burnaby writer Diane Tucker’s fourth book of poetry, full of everyday yet newly experienced images, conveys strong and universal emotions. Tucker’s spare yet always sensual poetry seems to vibrate with her sense of fulfilment, loss and longing. The Best of Adrian Raeside: A Treasury of
B.C. Cartoons (Harbour Publishing): A good cartoon can always bring a smile or laugh, even after many years. Raeside has skewered many of B.C.’s idiosyncrasies and foibles in his entertaining drawings and captions. Short historical notes beneath some of them give readers the context. Beyond Barbed Wire: Essays on the Internment of Italian Canadians (Guernica Editions): A little-known and little advertised part of the panicky state of our world at the beginnings of the Second World War that created the internment camps for Canadian citizens who came here for refuge from what had became enemy countries. Sometimes painful reading that may sometimes sound contemporary. Combining both history and personal feelings, is We Go Far Back in Time: The Letters of Earle Birney and Al Purdy, 1947-1987 edited by Nicholas Bradley (Harbour Publishing). Forty years of letters between two of Canada’s well-known and respected poets are serialized, picked and chosen for this dense book. It can be read to follow the growth of Canadian poetic literature and publishing, or you can read it for the often juicy literary gossip about the Canada Council, or other authors and poets. Opinions on the work of a whole spectrum of Canadian poets and writers is interspersed with everyday events in the lives of these two dissimilar contemporaries, in their four decades of friendship. For the younger readers there’s Jeremy Stone, by Lesley Choyce (Red Deer Press): It’s hard enough to
move, go to a new school, and doubly hard if you’re the only First Nations student. Then, getting involved with a girl, who is convinced of spirits acting in her life, complicates a bad situation that Jeremy Stone has to find a way out of – and does. The Widow Tree, by Nicole Lundrigan (Douglas & McIntyre): An exciting teenage mystery set in post-war, government-controlled, poor and ravaged Yugoslavia, that involves finding an ancient Roman hoard, then the mysterious disappearance of a friend, and fear and threatening violence. Red: A Haida Manga, by Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas (Douglas & McIntyre): A traditional Haida tale told in the Japanese form of Manga, which is similar to the style of the old comic books. The illustrations are bold and vigorous as they tell this epic story of theft and revenge. Pay It Forward Kids: Small Acts, Big Change, by Nancy Runstedler (Fitzhenry & Whiteside): A book to inspire young people, not with preaching about helping others, but with stories of actual young people and how they found ways to help others. The ways they found are simple enough for anyone with energy and determination to follow. Illustrated with photos and graphics. The Raven and the Loon, by Rachel and Sean Qitsualik-Tinsley, illus. by Kim Smith (Inhabit Media Inc.): An entertaining tale, with big, lively illustrations of an old legend telling why the raven is black, and the loon has flat feet. For ages four to six. Do you have any summer reading suggestions of your own? Send them to us by email, editorial@burnaby now.com, or send us your ideas on Twitter, @BurnabyNOW_news.

Happily, Fiat’s smallest car continues to age well Brendan McAleer contributing writer
I
n Italy’s epicentre of style, Milan, you’ll almost never see a Ferrari or a Lamborghini. If owning one was costprohibitive before, these days the carabinieri have a habit of pulling over every supercar they see to check to see if you’ve been paying your taxes – and most of the time, their drivers haven’t. Instead, what you get is a stream of diminutive little hatchbacks, many of which are fitted with towhitches. Point is; wheeled style isn’t something the Italians consume in huge, conspicuous packages. La Dolce Vita is more about buzzy Vespas and street side cafes – less gold-leaf gilt, and more everyday chic. Fiat absolutely nails this ethos with their 500c city car, an urban runabout that’s sized right
for Europe’s crowded streets. But now that it’s been on the market for a while, does the tiny Italian drop-top still appeal, or has something been lost in translation?
Design:
Happily, Fiat’s smallest car continues to age well. The car’s happy little face still beams and its short little wheelbase gives it the air of a bouncing pug. While nearly every other manufacturer continues to work towards an ultimate goal of building the entire car out of mesh grille, the 500c has hardly any grille at all. A bright red Fiat badge makes for a button nose, bright chrome work creates a pair of whiskers, and the car’s face appears to be beaming, rather than scowling. Next to the Fiat, everybody else just feels like they’re trying too hard – it’s not aggressive, it just wants to andiamo!
Stepping up to the folding roof version of the 500 is a $4,600 premium over the basic car. For this outlay you get not quite a real convertible; the middle section of the roof slides away, and can also be set to a midpoint to create an enormous sunroof, but the sides of the car stay where they are. So, your openair motoring experience is somewhat restricted, but if you roll down the windows, it’s hardly noticeable. Naturally, when compared to the standard car, lowering the top does mess with your rearward visibility somewhat. Optioning up for the Lounge model, as this week’s tester was outfitted, gives you lashings of extra chrome on the outside and pretty little 15” alloys to fill the wheelwells. Priced the same as a well-equipped compact car, it still gives an upscale exterior impression.
Environment:
Inside the 500c’s diminutive cabin, a tall roof-line and upright seating position impart an airy feeling, even though this
is a very narrow car. The dash is dominated by a slick body-coloured panel that apes the 1950s version with its all-metal interior. Trust me; this one’s quite a bit safer.
The driver gets a slightly complicated instrument cluster with a twin ring of tachometer and speedometer, with the speed chasing Fiat Page 21

Fiat: light on its feet continued from page 17
the revs clockwise around the circumference. As with most retro touches, this looks great at the expense of some functionality. Less impressive is the very plain-jane audio system, with its knobless design. However, optioning the six-speaker Beats audio does give the little Fiat quite considerable sonic punch. Rear seats and cargo area? Both are pretty tiny.
Performance:
With a 1.4L four-cylinder cranking out 101hp, the 500c was never going to be a rocketship. Instead, the normal 500c provides acceleration that’s perfectly acceptable, and its little motor does love to rev. If you’ve the skill, the five-speed manual makes the most of the power, though it’s nowhere near as precise a gearbox as you’d find in something like a Mazda 2. Given that the 500c is set up for top-down stopand-go, there’s no shame in opting for the automatic option, a six-speed gearbox. The manual is a little more fun – and a little more European – but the 500 should do just fine with the auto. With just enough snippiness to keep up with city traffic, the 500c feels light on its feet, and can wriggle through tight spaces with ease. The turning circle is very good, at just 9.3m, meaning it can whip around in a hurry too. Take note, the morepowerful Abarth version doesn’t have this same level of flexibility thanks to larger tires. Without wishing to
cause offence, the 500c drives a bit like a weeble – it wobbles but it doesn’t fall down. Cornering is a little bit tippy, but not really alarming as you’ve only got 101hp on tap, and the only real detriment to highway driving is some fairly high road noise. Then again, this is a subcompact convertible.
Features:
Navigation is available on the 500c, but only as a plug-in Tom-Tom unit that’s so much of an afterthought, it can be easily lifted right out and stolen. It also blocks forward visibility, so maybe give it a miss. Lounge versions of the 500c come with Bluetooth as standard, as well as heated seats up front, and foglamps. The leather interior was very good for such a small car, and it looked sharp in Marrone Brown. Fuel economy ratings are excellent at 6.7L/100km city and 5.2L/100km highway. However, please note that these are figures provided under the old testing methods, and real-world fuel economy in mixed usage is much closer to about 1L/100km worse for each.

Make the most of barbecued chicken ON COOKING
A
Chef Dez
lthough men have been assigned the stereotype of working the backyard barbecue, it is a joy that is shared by all home culinary enthusiasts. It’s a summertime passion. The smoky essence of smouldering charcoal starts my mouth watering as my mind conjures up recollections of flame-licked meats and fire caramelized vegetables. With a few basic tips, you can overcome any barbecuing intimidation you may have. Overcooking lean meats is the most common mistake made, as people want to ensure meat is fully cooked before serving. Although it is imperative for poultry and ground meats to be fully cooked, this does not give you the
right to transform them into dry, charred remains. Brining can help protect light-meat poultry and lean pork. This is a technique that involves soaking in a salt-water solution prior to cooking. Not only does this add moisture to the centre of the meat but also seasoning, as the salt-saturated water is drawn in. A simple brining formula would be: one-quarter cup table salt dissolved in four cups of water for pieces of poultry or lean pork. Let the meat sit in the brine for at least one hour in the refrigerator. Remove from the brine, pat them dry, and cook as you normally would. This brining process will provide a moisture protection shield to help keep fully cooked meats juicy. However, this is only a safeguard – overcooking is still possible, but this lessens the chance. The only other consideration you may need to give your recipe is the amount of seasoning. The meat will already be seasoned somewhat from the salt in the

brine, so back off on the salt shaker. Try this technique the next time you are barbecuing chicken breasts, pork chops, pork tenderloins or pork loins. You will be impressed with the results. The salt used can be any salt: kosher, sea, etc. – the important aspect is to ensure that the granules are the same size as table salt. A coarser grind will result in less salt per equal measure as more air trapped between the larger particles. It is important to mention that this is the simplest form of brine: water and salt. There are many more complex recipes available on the Internet that will bring flavour and moisture, but this easy brine is a straightforward starting point. Another essential pointer is that red meats are typically not brined; marinating is better for red meats, but that’s slated for another column.

Gardening solutions for sloping yards GREEN SCENE
I
Anne Marrison
maginative gardeners don’t see tough terrain quite the way other people do. To a husband-andwife gardening team in Chilliwack, the raw subdivision moonscape around them was a source of rough soil they could use to terrace the steep dropoff behind their newly constructed home. Contractors who had been paying to truck soil miles away were glad to dump a few loads in a nearby lot. Once the soil was waiting in the front yard, the gardeners rigged up a wooden chute, which stretched from the front yard down into the rear. She shovelled soil into the chute, where it slid downhill. Meanwhile, far below, he shovelled the soil from the chute into a wheelbarrow and distributed it
around. Today, the upper terrace is a green lawn bordered with compact shrubs where people can sit under a patio roof and view the distant mountains. The lower terrace is a mini woodland, where a pea gravel floor meanders around raised rock-ringed beds. Water in the nearby fish pool has high levels of oxygen after its swift journey downhill via a little stream. The bottom of a slope is a natural spot for fishponds, and the freshening of the water doesn’t have to be done by a simple stream. This is what two Surrey gardeners did with their rugged, weedy front yard: Most of it is now a large fishpond backed by a rock wall where water seeps and trickles and is punctuated by two waterfalls. These don’t have to be large. Most gardeners with streams running down to a pond manage to add a large rock or two or a couple of steps over which water cascades. Rocky cliffsides have other uses, too.
A Kamloops gardener couldn’t plant the bare rock cliff, which stretched across the far end of his back garden. But he enjoyed the way it prolonged his garden season by storing the sun’s heat and then releasing it during cold nights. Where slopes are formed by clay or sand, stability can be a huge issue. Steps can be one solution. A North Vancouver gardener with a big, sloping yard built a long line of steps, which she broke into sections by adding landings at intervals. These were emphasized by pergolas supporting climbing vines. In the early stages of planning their North Surrey garden, two gardeners plotted out routes for electrical lines along steps. This made it possible to install lights under the risers so that people could navigate the garden at night. Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions. Send them to her via amar rison@shaw.ca.

South Burnaby Strikes silver at under-17 Provincial A Cup Tom Berridge
sports editor
The South Burnaby Strikers left their hearts in Richmond. The Coastal Cup under-15 boys’ B champions settled for a silver medal following a 1-0 loss to the Penticton Pinnacles in the gold-medal final at the B.C. Soccer Provincial B Cup championships at Hugh Boyd Oval on Sunday. The Strikers needed a basketful of goals in their final group stage game against Richmond to advance to the championships and they got it. But it came at a cost. South Burnaby and the Surrey FC Ravens both finished with 2-0-1 records to top Group 1, including a 2-2 draw to start the provincials. With both teams tied in goals for heading into the final stage matches, Burnaby had the advantage of witnessing Surrey’s 4-0 win over a Cowichan Valley side prior to their game. The Strikers then took the field and earned a spot in the cup final following a 5-0 victory over the Richmond Youth Lightning in their final game of the pool stage. “The boys were working so hard, but I think they ran out of steam

Burnaby takes third place and series from Thunder Tom Berridge
sports editor
Dan Lewis posted his third win in as many starts to help the Burnaby Lakers move into sole possession of third place over Langley. The Lakers came back from multi-goal deficits in both the first and second periods to post a 12-10 road win over the Thunder in Western Lacrosse Association play on Wednesday. Burnaby rallied from a 3-0 start to knot the opening frame 4-4, but again fell behind in the middle period after giving up three more goals in a two-minute spell midway through the frame. First star Tyler Digby
kicked off a strong third period for the visitors with his third goal of the game. The big righthander topped all players with a gamehigh five-point night. Justin Salt served up the game-winning tally midway though the period with his second transition goal of the game. Scott Jones also tallied a pair in the pivotal third period. Athan Iannucci led the Thunder with a hat trick. The win, Burnaby’s fifth on the road this season, elevated the Lakers into sole possession of third place on the seven-team ladder. Langley fell to fourth with a 6-8-0 mark. It was also the season-series clincher for Burnaby against the Thunder. The win came after a dis-
appointing11-9lossathome to the New Westminster Salmonbellies. But there is still concern in the Lakers’ camp despite their 7-5-0 record. “Everyone tells me how good we are, but there’s one problem with that. We haven’t proved it to anybody,” said Burnaby general manager Paul Rowbotham of the team’s fifth-place position in the national rankings. “The guys are playing all right and all right has got us in third place. Wait till we start playing well.” Burnaby has the opportunity to prove its real worth, when the club hosts the first-place Victoria Shamrocks at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre tonight (Friday) at 7 p.m.

already in place and plans to return again to B.C. next year, Santos said the next hurdle will be planning for when the players enter junior-age eligibility. “We have to keep offering programs for them, so the natural thing is we have to do a junior team. It’s good for the game,” he said. Santos’ enthusiasm for the box game can be excused if his dream appears too
far-fetched to the average Canadian. He foresees the possibility for a Pacific Northwest league in the next couple of decades and perhaps, one day, even entering into a great Minto Cup junior A championship with the best in Canada. “Tell me that wouldn’t be exciting,” he said.
