Judge rules against city in mountain battle Jennifer Moreau staff reporter
Burnaby residents and antipipeline activists plan to block Kinder Morgan’s survey work in the Burnaby Mountain conservation area, following a Wednesday morning B.C. Supreme Court decision that rejected the city’s request for an injunction to stop the company. Kinder Morgan wants to run a new pipeline, which the city opposes, through the city-owned conservation area but must conduct survey work to see if the route is even feasible. “People are getting organized, so if push comes to shove, as they say, if Kinder Morgan comes in, we are going to try to be in their way and make their work very difficult,” said SFU English professor Stephen Collis. “I think there will be a lot of people taking this into their own hands.” Alan Dutton, a member of Burnaby Residents Opposing Kinder Morgan Expansion, said the group is working with lawyers and the B.C. Civil Liberties Association to host workshops on people’s rights if they engage in civil disobedience. BROKE also plans on engaging the public to
On guard for trees:

develop long-term strategies to stop the pipeline, Dutton added. “It’s a responsibility of people in Burnaby to make sure their land is protected,” Dutton said. Mayor Derek Corrigan issued a statement Monday morning,
suggesting the battle is not over despite the court’s decision. “It’s not the end of anything. It’s another step in what we’ve always known will be a long fight to protect our conservation lands – and all of our land in the
city – from further destruction by Kinder Morgan,” Corrigan said. Madam Justice Brenda Brown issued her ruling Wednesday morning, but she won’t release her reasons until next week. Corrigan said the city is con-
sidering whether to appeal and will look to the National Energy Board to stop Kinder Morgan’s work. “We strongly feel that the decision as to whether or not Kinder Morgan must respect our bylaws is one that should be made by the Supreme Court,” Corrigan added. Kinder Morgan left the mountain on Sept. 3, after the city issued a stop work order and tickets for cutting trees in the park, which violates a local bylaw, even though the NEB has sanctioned the company’s survey work. There are two legal proceedings underway: the city’s application to the B.C. Supreme Court Pipeline Page 11
Teachers have mixed opinions on agreement Cornelia Naylor staff reporter
Burnaby teachers stayed on the picket line Thursday as teachers across the province voted on an agreement that would end the nearly five-month-old labour dispute. “Different districts are doing different
things, but we’re on strike until the strike’s over,” local union president Rae Figursky told the NOW Thursday. Figursky said opinion about the agreement among local teachers was “all over the place” after they went over the points in the agreement at three study sessions Wednesday.
“My prediction is it’ll be a yes; it won’t be high,” Figursky said. The full text of the agreement, including a back-to-work protocol, wasn’t available to teachers until 1 a.m. Thursday morning and local teachers had between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. to vote. The details of the agreement and the

results of the vote were not available by press time, but Figursky said back-to-work provisions in the agreement provide “a little bit of time for teachers to be in the schools without the students to get ready and then students starting.” As of Thursday, the school district had Teachers Page 11

CITY OFFICER SAYS PROBLEM IS MUCH BIGGER THAN IT APPEARS
Drivers aren’t paying attention
W
hile distracted driving is an ongoing problem throughout the Lower Mainland, one Burnaby sergeant says it is only part of a much bigger issue. Earlier this month, ICBC and police services across Metro Vancouver launched a campaign targeting drivers who continue to use electronic devices behind the wheel. Burnaby RCMP is one of the police agencies that jumped on board but according to Sgt. Dave Bell of the department’s traffic serON MY BEAT vices, the growing trend Cayley Dobie of inattentive driving is what’s really to blame. “Inattentiveness is a systemic problem and that’s why I think the statistics are misleading because we focus on the use of cellphones but that’s not the only problem,” Bell told the NOW. So far this year, Burnaby RCMP have issued 1,137 distracted driving tickets – nearly 400 in July and August alone – and in Bell’s opinion, these numbers are low because often officers can’t ticket or charge someone for inattentive driving because it would be too difficult to prove in court. “You have collisions … where people aren’t paying attention to their driving. The difficulty is we simply can’t prove it because we can’t get the information from the driver themselves, they often don’t answer the question or they provide some other sort of excuse,” he said. A number of examples come to mind when speaking about inattentive driving, Bell said.
Larry Wright/burnaby now
Busted: Burnaby RCMP participated in a distracted driving enforcement blitz on Wednesday afternoon. Officers nabbed a number of drivers using cellphones. One recent crash almost resulted in severe injury when a man, driving his two children, drove through the stop sign at 12th Avenue at Sixth Street. Travelling at full speed, Bell said the driver told investigators that because traffic wasn’t moving, he assumed the pedestrian-controlled traffic light had turned red. So rather than stopping at the stop sign, he drove through the intersection and crashed into a car travelling along Sixth Street.
“He went through it at 50 kilometres and then his vehicle hit so hard that it went up on two wheels and almost flipped over but didn’t, it came crashing down and almost hit pedestrians who were waiting to cross the street,” he said. “And this is just ‘Joe Blow’ father with his kids in the car going somewhere.” Driving Page 12
Street-level crime spikes in summer Cayley Dobie staff reporter
It was a busy summer for Burnaby Mounties. Crimes, including break-andenters and car thefts, throughout the city all increased over the summer months, according to the Burnaby RCMP’s monthly report for July and August. At the Sept. 11 community policing committee meeting, Chief Supt. Dave Critchley told members the spike in these types of street-level crimes was likely due to people leaving their home or car windows and doors unlocked or open during the warm weather. Residential break-and-enters were up this summer compared

to 2013, according to the monthly report Critchley presented. Throughout July and August, 170 residential break-and-enters were reported to the Burnaby RCMP while only 124 were reported during the same time last year. The spike was most noticeable in Burnaby’s southeast district, which reported 31 more residential break-and-enters in July and August 2014 than in 2013. “While (break-and-enters) were down overall and are expected to continue to drop, many homes were targeted with break-andenter during the warm weather,” Critchley wrote. The monthly report also indicated that car thefts had increased in three of the four districts in

Burnaby in July and across all districts in August compared to 2013. The southeast district, which covers the area southeast of Highway 1 to the Fraser River, was the only district to report a decrease in the month of July – it reported an increase of nine the following month. Critchley said it is a mystery as to why thefts as well as thefts from autos, which spiked across the city in both July and August, are increasing after nearly a decade of decreases. While he couldn’t provide an explanation, Critchley said it’s a problem in many cities throughout the Lower Mainland, not just Burnaby. “In recent weeks, we are starting to see a drop in auto theft

and theft from auto,” Critchley wrote in the monthly report. “This may be due, in part, to the arrest of a number of prolific offenders believed to be responsible for the spike.” These offenders were targeted by Burnaby RCMP investigators, arrested and are now facing several charges, the report added. So far, this year nearly 580 cars have been reported stolen in the city. There have been more than 1,840 thefts from cars, according to the Burnaby RCMP report. ◆ For breaking news on the crime beat in Burnaby follow Cayley Dobie on twitter @cayleydobie.

Police identify victim in suspicious death Cayley Dobie staff reporter
Burnaby resident Abdul Sarwari has been identified as the victim in Monday night’s suspicious death near Lougheed Town Centre. Burnaby RCMP found Sarwari, 23, dead outside of an apartment building in the 3900 block of Carrigan Court shortly after 10:30 p.m. on Sept. 15, according to a press release from the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team. The dispatch call was initially reported to Burnaby Mounties as a home invasion but no other individuals were found inside Sarwari’s apartment, the release added. There were also reports on social media the victim had been thrown from an eighth-
floor apartment during a home invasion, but this has not been confirmed. Homicide police are now leading the investigation and have yet to determine whether or not Sarwari was murdered. “The victim’s cause of death has not been confirmed and the death is considered suspicious. IHIT currently has carriage of this investigation and are looking to speak with any witnesses who may have been in the area during this time,” Staff Sgt. Jennifer Pound, spokesperson for the homicide police, said in the release. An autopsy is scheduled sometime in the next few days to confirm cause of death, the release stated. Anyone with information about this suspicious death is asked to call the homicide police tipline at 1-877-5514448 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
Man killed on film set identified Amrik Singh Gill has been identified as the man who was killed when he was pinned by a five-tonne truck in Robert Burnaby Park on Monday. Gill, a 59-year-old Delta resident, was working security on the set of Falling Skies, a science fiction drama broadcast on American network TNT, which was setting up for a
shoot the following day. Around 8:30 p.m., an unattended truck with a lowered tailgate rolled backwards down a hill and hit Gill, pinning him into a tree, according to a press release from the B.C. Coroners Service. Gill was rushed to Royal Columbian Hospital but died a short while later, the release stated.
Both the Coroners Service and WorkSafe B.C. as well local RCMP are investigating the incident, the release confirmed. Trish Knight Chernecki, spokesperson for WorkSafe B.C., said her organization is putting together a full incident report, which will be available to the public at a later date. – Cayley Dobie

OUR VIEW
agreement as this paper went to press), it likely means all will be back to normal by Monday. And for almost everyone involved, that news couldn’t come soon enough. The job action has caused chaos in the life of many parents and students, financially hurt some teachers who haven’t seen a paycheque in months and divided many on the issue of public education in B.C. The question now: What, if any, impact will this dispute have on the education system?
The Burnaby school district, like many others in the province, was struggling to juggle its budget allotments just to maintain education standards. This agreement won’t, in our opinion, result in a dramatic change in that situation. The teachers promise to keep the issue of public education front and centre, but what will that look like? Long-term collective agreements provide labour peace, but they also take away a reason for unions to rally their members to action. Only time will tell.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Burnaby needs new council Dear Editor:
The following email is in answer to your item which was posted on Aug. 27, “City sends emergency resolution to UBCM to stop Kinder Morgan’s plans.” We are against Mayor Derek Corrigan and his dictatorial attitude. His arrogance towards the cause is not very digestible. The Kinder Morgan survey crew holds the right by Canadian laws to survey Burnaby Mountain. They should not be harassed by Burnaby employees. The next election, there will be a big campaign to elect a new mayor and council. Anyone present in the current council but Corrigan must be considered. We need a new team!
Also his endorsing all these new highrises. No rental highrises at all. Let’s think about our rental citizens. Our hospital and schools cannot handle the citizens of Burnaby we have now. New ridiculous planning. Here is to the new team of Burnaby in the next election. J. Schulz, by email

Impress with a Healthy Smile! LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Subsidies are for real continued from page 6
largely ignored by Canada’s corporate media, estimates such subsidies at $28 billion annually, much of it uncollected tax on externalized costs, including carbon emissions and air pollution. The David Suzuki Foundation estimates $6.7 billion in subsidies to oil, gas and coal since Harper’s 2009 promise to end them. Even The Financial Post (May 21) admits to $211 million a year. But we don’t need a statistics battle, just commonsense ethics. Fossil fuels are finite, non-renewable resources. Big Oil massively dumps greenhouse gases into our atmospheric commons without offsetting the environmental damage. A transition to post-carbon energy is both desirable and inevitable. The longer that takes, the greater the costs. Breakneck tar sands development delays that transition; subsidizing it encourages over-consumption and discourages investment in renewable energy, which creates many more jobs for money invested. The Kinder Morgan pipeline is integral to the tar sands behemoth. Isn’t stopping it the most ethical option? Don’t trust Big Oil’s “facts.” For independent energy policy information, try pembina.org, or policyalternatives.ca (Climate Justice). Bob and Angelika Hackett, Burnaby
Tailing ponds a real issue Dear Editor:
In 2010, tar sands tailing ponds covered an area of more than 175 square kilometers (67 square miles). At the current rate of expansion, it has been estimated that this will grow to 250 square kilometres (96.5 square miles) by 2020.
The tar sands industry website Oilsands Today describes the content of tailings ponds as follows: The bottom layer, a mixture of clay and water called fine tailings, takes a long time to settle and solidify. Even after many years it will still have the consistency of yogurt, and it can take up to 30 years to separate and dry out. The remaining water, because it has come into contact with oil during the extraction process, contains concentrations of natural chemicals that are toxic to fish. The small amount of residual oil that floats to the surface of the pond poses a risk to waterfowl. Near Fort McMurray is a 220-hectare rise in the landscape that has been renamed Wapisiw Lookout. For 30 years it was a Suncor tailings depository known as Pond 1. It has been drained of polluted water, filled with 65,000 truckloads of soil, and planted with 600,000 trees and shrubs. At the end of 20 years it will be eligible to be certified as a successful reclamation. It is somewhat misleading to call tailing sites ponds; they are in fact larger than many lakes. And, as much as tar sands industry and their government supporters would prefer the public to think otherwise (or even not think of it at all), they are lakes of toxic pollution and therefore present a risk to life, land and water. Some would argue the risk is minimal, but as all of us now know, dams and dikes are not impervious to the passage of time or indifferent to human error. They can fail. By the end of this decade there should be the equivalent of 110 tailings lakes the size of Wapisiw Lookout scattered across the tar sands area. If one represents a minimal risk, what do 110 add up to? Bill Brassington, Burnaby

THE BURNABYNOW LETTER: “A message to Corrigan: Pot, meet kettle” – Sept.4
Comment via BurnabyNOW.com I Harmel Guram: You stated, “My point is quite simply is this: If it is bad for the NEB to limit public input, then why is it acceptable for the City of Burnaby to do so?” The difference is that the NEB is not elected but appointed by the Harper Government and the City of Burnaby Council is elected. The council is doing its job when it comes to opposing Kinder Morgans’ expansion plans. My point is that you are unable to acknowledge that city council is doing what it should as the elected government of Burnaby as you continue to criticize it. As for limiting public input; whether or not council limits public input is a matter of opinion and it is your opinion that the city limits public input. I disagree. Let’s agree to disagree on that one. You are free to have opinions on different matters and it’s great that your opinions are expressed. It’s what makes our society great.
The proposed dedication is an area of approximately 5.46 acres (2.21 hectares) located in the southeast region of Burnaby. Do you agree to the dedication of the subject lands within Stride Avenue Ravine Park?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Trustee failed to mention students Dear Editor:
I write in response to Ron Burton’s “Teachers just searching for respect” (Burnaby NOW, Sept. 4). This letter was intended to be published before any announcement of the possible settlement to the teachers’ dispute, which I welcome with great relief. However, the contents of my letter are still to be considered and the points worth making. With 35 years as a parent, teacher, and Vancouver public school administrator, I would like to share with your readers some of my reaction to Mr. Burton’s letter. I fully support the teachers’ quest for equitable wages and better working conditions, but I do not think that it should be at their students’ expense. I am disappointed and surprised that Mr. Burton’s submission made only passing reference to that most important element in the teachers’ strike: the continued interruption of the education of our students. I would have expected more concern for our students from an incumbent trustee. The available research evidence is that extended breaks in classroom routine cause disruption to learning with enduring effects on measured student achievement. Studies in particular conducted at the universities of Edinburgh and Rotterdam found that work stoppages adversely affected achievement and even resulted in an increased number of students repeating grades, through no fault of the students themselves. Studies in Ontario have also shown statistically significant correlations between teacher strikes and lower student math scores, with those students “marginalized” academically or socio-economically experiencing the worst of these effects.
While I appreciate that B.C. boards of education and incumbent trustees like Mr. Burton have no power to influence the parties in a dispute, there are ways for incumbent trustees to help local public school children address negative effects of the dispute on later educational achievement. For example, I would have expected trustee Burton to draw the attention of Burnaby parents to alternatives to in-school public education still open to children even as the strike continued. An example of this is the Ministry of Education’s online distributed learning (DL) program – administered through accredited institutions including the Traditional Learning Academy – which are unaffected by BCTF picketing. Homeschooling is also available. Either option keeps any otherwise vulnerable students learning while public schools are strike-bound – avoiding the disruption with its negative impact on achievement. I am also concerned that scheduled public meetings of the Burnaby board of education in June and September were cancelled. The board is a body charged with public business. Incumbent trustees cannot simply abandon their responsibilities, including planning for the budgetary consequences of the dispute. Burnaby parents deserve to know that their trustees do in fact remain on the job, even if they had no meaningful power to settle the dispute. I am not sure that trustees should flaunt their indifference to the inconveniences that parents also suffer during such an imbroglio between the government and the BCTF. As elected officials they have a responsibility to help its constituents find a resolution to the challenges that school closures create. I note also that current census data suggest that
Ismaili Walk 2014
Burnaby has already lost thousands of its resident children to non-public school options. Each day a strike occurs, more parents make the decision to find nonpublic school alternatives with further negative consequences on the public school system. And schools in other provinces openly advertise in the B.C. media for international students to consider their programs in lieu of B.C. public schools. Notwithstanding my sympathy for teachers during their struggle to achieve equitable wages and better working conditions, a way had to be found to end the serious disruption and negative consequences that teacher strikes create in the education of our young people. Yes, “teachers were just
searching for respect,” but students became innocent victims, who may still experience some negative consequences from the strike. Ben Seebaran, Burnaby, trustee candidate with Burnaby First Coalition
Are pipelines above the law?
Dear Editor:
You reported (Burnaby NOW, Aug. 22) on the National Energy Board’s correspondence with KinderMorganaboutaccess to Burnaby Mountain for Kinder Morgan to do testing. The substance is the claim that access does not require either permission from the City of Burnaby or an order from the National Energy Board. This is not what is stated in the National Energy
For YWCA Cause We Care House There will be food, music and entertainment at this family-friendly event in support of Housing for low-income women. To fundraise for YWCA Cause We Care House sign up at ismailiwalk.org.
ny can not just go ahead without an NEB order as is suggested by the recent correspondence. Perhaps the law has changed since the NEB published its booklet four years ago, but if so, why did Kinder Morgan give me an incorrect publication and why is there no updated version on the NEB website? And why was a picture of the booklet cover featured prominently on an Aug. 28 email circular sent to me by Kinder Morgan? Does the law now state that a pipeline company can go onto any land and do anything it wants any time it wants without any permission? If so, it is unacceptable in a democratic society and is likely to lead to civil disobedience. David Huntley, Burnaby

Board’s own publication, Pipeline Regulations in Canada: a Guide for Landowners and the Public (Revised September 2010). I was given this booklet in April this year at a Kinder Morgan public meeting. It discusses a “Land Agreement” between pipeline company and land owner, and then the process for obtaining “a right of entry when a land owner refuses to permit a company to enter his or her lands for pipeline-related purposes.” This process includes a notice of 30 to 60 days to the land owner that it intends to apply to the NEB for a right of entry, the ability of the land owner to submit a written objection, and a process for determining compensation when there is no agreement. It is absolutely clear from this that the compa-

Pipeline: Kinder Morgan awaiting NEB response on work continued from page 1
for a temporary and permanent injunction against the pipeline work, and Kinder Morgan’s request for an order from the National Energy Board that would force the city to let the work continue. The legal conflict underscores an important question: Does the federal gov-
ernment have the right to supersede municipal bylaws? Kinder Morgan issued a brief statement following Wednesday’s ruling. “We’re satisfied with today’s decision from the B.C. Supreme Court denying the City of Burnaby’s application for an injunction,” said Kinder Morgan’s
Carey Johannesson. “We maintain that the National Energy Board has jurisdiction in this matter and has given us the authority to undertake the work needed on Burnaby Mountain. We will await the NEB’s response to our motion filed on Sept. 3 before resumption of work.” Burnaby-Douglas MP

sound to have them come in in the way that we do,” Kaardal said. “We have to make sure we don’t traumatize kids just for expediency’s sake.” Teachers still on the picket lines Thursday, meanwhile, hoped they’d be able to get into their classrooms Friday to get organized. “There are still lots of teachers in Burnaby who are moving schools, who weren’t able to finish packing, and therefore the cartage of boxes from the old school to the new school hasn’t happened,” Figursky said. The local union will be in meetings with the school board and district executives this week and possibly into the weekend, according to Figursky, working out an

array of logistics. “We want everything to work in the best interest of kids and for it to make sense for teachers too,” Figursky said. But some “struck work” left undone during the walkout – like reports cards – will not be made up. “They’re gone,” Figursky said. The agreement put to teachers Thursday includes a 7.25 per cent wage hike over six years, a boost to health and dental benefits, increased rates for teachers on call and more prep time for elementary teachers. The deal also includes a $400-million education fund that will go toward improving classroom conditions, including hiring as many as 850 new teachers a year.

Teachers: Union works out logistics provisional plans in place to open schools for a part day Monday and full days starting Tuesday if teachers ratified the agreement. “We’re ready for a start,” superintendent Kevin Kaardal told the NOW. “I’m very excited that we’re going to get to open and engage our learners again. We’re looking forward to having an outstanding year.” Kaardal said schools will work with teachers to postpone professional development days scheduled for next week, and kindergarteners will see a “modified gradual entry” that will have them up to full-time attendance a week earlier than usual. “It’s still educationally

Driving: Inattentiveness can be hard to prove continued from page 3
These are types of accidents that leave investigators grasping at straws when it comes to proving inattentiveness. While charges can be laid against drivers for driving without due car or attention, it’s a hard charge to prove in court because it requires a lot of evidence, Bell said. “It’s not impossible, but you have to have substantive evidence that will show the judge that the person didn’t just have a momentary lapse of judgment because there’s case law that says … a momentary lapse of attention does not constitute driving without due care or attention,” he said. Momentary lapses could mean the driver was distracted by what he or she thought was an ambulance in their rearview mirror, while driving without due care or attention might be something like the driver was eating a burger and a piece of tomato fell into their lap, causing them to look away from the road. “That’s a 20- or 30-second incident, and they could have gone through a stop sign or red light and run over five people in a crosswalk,” Bell said. And the same logic applies to pedestrians, he added. With the winter months fast approaching, the shorter days, gloomy weather and limited visibility often caused by the Lower Mainland’s rainy season, are all factors in crashes and if drivers and pedestrians aren’t paying attention, the risk only grows, Bell added. “December, January and February are the worst, I think, for pedestrian collisions, and we can’t stress enough the need for pedestrians to pay attention to where they’re crossing, when they’re crossing and who’s coming around the corners and to
look and to wear appropriate clothing,” he said. Last week, an 87-yearold woman was killed on Kingsway near Edmonds Street when she was hit by a car while jaywalking across the busy street. “How did the driver not see this pedestrian coming across the roadway? The explanation that we were given was she was looking ahead at the light at Edmonds to see what was going on at the intersection,” he said. “Her sightline was distance driven, not directly in front of her, and missed this woman crossing the road.” Despite the severity of this underlying problem, Bell said most police agencies continue to target electronics use rather than inattentiveness because it’s easier to prove. In the meantime, Burnaby RCMP will continue with enforcement strategies in an effort to discourage people from using cellphones and keep their attentions focused on the road ahead. “Whether the enforcement acts as a deterrent or not will only be known years down the road,” Bell said. He likened the problem to seatbelt enforcement in the late ’80s and early ’90s. At the time, about 80 per cent of the population wore their seatbelts. Nearly 30 years later, the percentage of people who wear their seatbelts is in the mid-90 per cent. The issue of inattentive and distracted driving came on the heels of recent advances in technology and is relatively new – it’s going to take some time to sink in, according to Bell. “I suspect it’s going to take dozens of years to have people come around to understanding that it is extremely dangerous and they shouldn’t be doing it,” he said.

Burnaby actor onstage in Experience adventure Vagabond season opener in fall reading series A Burnaby actor takes centre stage when the Vagabond Players open their new theatre season. Alex Ross appears in Murder by the Book, a comedic mystery that opens at the Bernie Legge Theatre on Oct. 2. The mystery by Duncan Greenwood and Robert King, directed by Jacqollyne Keath, tells the story of the vitriolic thriller writer Selwyn Piper (played by Harry Pering), who crosses swords with his venomous ex-wife Imogen (Michelle Collier). Piper’s publisher, John Douglas (played by Mike Parker) ends up as a pawn in a game of murder. Alanna Winterly appears as Christine Scott, the secretary who has to cope with bodies as well as books, and Ross is on board as Peter Fletcher, the neighbour who tries his hand at playing Sherlock while helping the attractive damsel in distress. A press release about the production promises “crisp dialogue exchanges and clever plot twists (that) will keep audiences laughing and guessing right up to the final curtain.” The Bernie Legge Theatre is in Queen’s Park, New Westminster. Murder by the Book runs Oct. 2 to 25, with shows Thursdays through Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15, or $13 for students and seniors, with $10 previews on Oct. 2 and 3. Reserve by calling 604-521-04512 or email reservations@vagabondplayers.ca. See www. vagabondplayers.ca for more details.

Pet Nutrition & Supply Stores
PREVENT OBESITY IN PETS Obesity is a growing concern in companion animals, and the increasing incidences appear to be mirroring the trend observed in humans. In fact, obesity is the most common nutritional disorder in companion pets. Obesity is defined as an accumulation of excessive amounts of adipose tissue in the body. Similar to humans, being overweight is usually the result of either excessive dietary intake or inadequate energy utilization, or both.
Numerous factors may predispose our pets to become overweight including genetics, the amount of physical activity, and the energy content of the diet (the whole sum of pet-food, homemade & commercial treats, table food etc). We all like giving our pets treats as positive reinforcement and as part of TLC. Those big eyes, wagging tails or the persistent meowing (depending on how your pet companion may influence you) definitely makes it easy to reach for the treat bag or food off the dining table. While it is all right to use treats for training or to show affection to your pet, it is not the only available method. After all, it is you and your company they crave most. Yes, even over food and treats. In order to prevent pets from packing on the pounds, the most important thing is to not reach out for treats as a reflex. We use treats as positive reinforcement, as a distraction, when we just want the pet to be attentive, when we are happy, when the pet is happy, the list goes on. Treats are meant to be just that – similar to snacks or an order of fries that we might enjoy from time to time. We should not be thinking of treats at every instant. The smaller your pet is, the smaller his or her stomach is, and the more harmful excessive treats can be for their wellbeing. So, instead of “treating” your pet, think of alternative methods of positive reinforcement, distraction etc. If you want to share some love with your dog or cat, nothing beats hugging and petting them. Our clinic cat, Midnight is overly food oriented at the best of times and steals food all the time. But when she is in the mood and is getting gentle scratches on her chin and getting babied, she drools profusely. Obviously it is not all about the food and treats, is it!
Celebrating 40 Years of Caring BC family-owned & operated since 1974
a pet should be getting per day. The family needs to work as a team on this. I am always surprised to see that often the weakest link in following a weight reduction program is not the pet, but a family member. Following a weight loss program for a pet is only successful with a whole family approach. It is very easy to train a young pet to not want treats at every instant – all it is takes is some self-restraint. In a house with an adult or senior pet, the same self-restraint would be needed, but with the additional hurdle of slowly backing off on the treats and extra food, rather than stopping abruptly, in order to wean them off of a longstanding habit. Do not forget the need for exercise in maintaining a healthy pet body weight – this is especially true for indoor cats. Remember to regularly stimulate them to run around and play on a daily basis. By helping keep your pet at a good body weight and preventing a serious problem like obesity, it would help decrease the chances of other serious illness such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, respiratory problems, cancer, or severe arthritis in your pet. Let us make sure they are with us for a long and happy life.
It is also helpful to designate one person in the family, or a common place of treats in the house, so as not to exceed the designated volume of treats

OUR MISSION: To protect and enhance the quality of life for domestic, farm and wild animals in BC
WILSON
STARLA
2 years old, neutered male, Blue Ticked Hound.
2 years old, spayed female.
SPCA ID 342560.
This is Wilson, a sweet active boy who has recently undergone a hip replacement. The good news is that he’s on the mend but the bad news is that he’s in dire need of a loving new home. He would love to find his perfect match and forever home. Seeing as he’s a hound, he’s a wonderfully expressive guy, very gentle and affectionate. He absolutely loves other dogs, but may chase cats. Wilson would likely do best in a home with a yard so apartment or condo living isn’t ideal. He’s a wonderful family pooch, a stellar addition! Come meet him today!
SPCA ID 335217.
After over 100 days, our sweet Starla is looking for a loving and patient guardian to take her on. Not unlike many other pets, she may be shy upon first meeting, but she does warm up to a kind and gentle hand. She would flourish in a calm environment where her sweet personality could really shine. Starla has great interest in other cats and may enjoy living in a household that already has one cat. She can while away the hours gazing out the window and combing her scratching post. She also loves getting little treats throughout the day. Starla just needs a chance, will it be you?
MAVIS
BUG
9 years old, spayed female.
3 years old, neutered male.
SPCA ID 339205.
If you are looking for an elegant beauty with so much love to give, look no further...Mavis is your girl! She is the grande dame of the sleddy clan and can’t wait for her retirement. She is good with cats and strongly prefers male dogs. Quiet, angelic, very loving girl...always come over for a snuggle (LOVES PEOPLE). Mavis has been fostered and has been great in the house but cannot be left unattended in a fenced yard. End this amazing dogs wait!
SPCA ID 342450.
Bug is a quirky looking little dude. He has suffered some major hair loss that’s probably due to having a flea allergy. No problem, his fur will grow back. You have to meet him in person to see what a loving and affectionate cat he can be. He’ll never say no to a petting session, grooming or belly rubs. What he doesn’t like is other cats. Who needs multiple cats when having just this one great guy will give you all the attention you need. Bug was found homeless and we’d love to see him live in luxury in an indoor home so he never finds himself alone on the streets again.
ZIG
TIGER
7 years old, neutered male.
6 years old, neutered male
SPCA ID 338942.
Zig is a super loveable, hilarious dude looking for an active, experienced guardian. He once was a working sled dog and still has the energy to go, go, go! Zig is initially very shy but with some delicious treats he makes friends quickly. He JUST NEEDS A CHANCE! A fenced in yard is very important as this boy wants to run, jogging partner anyone?! Come fall in love.
SPCA ID 344198.
Tiger is an incredibly lovely boy just looking to worship a human(s). He arrived as an owner surrender where we found he needed some serious de-matting and a dental cleaning. That is why he is rocking that adorable haircut. He has successfully lived with another cat but slow introductions are still important. Tiger loves to chat and often greets you with a song. He loves being pet and fussed over. He uses his scratching post and is an active, happy kitty. If you are looking for an amazing kitty look no further!
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.

Manufacturer offering a new engine? Take it! CLICK & CLACK TALK CARS Ray & Tom Magliozzi
Dear Tom and Ray: I am the owner of a 2012 Acura TL. It was purchased new in the spring of 2011. It is my fourth Acura ... all of the previous Acuras went well over 250,000 miles without any major repairs, and no engine repairs of any type. They were all very reliable. My newest Acura is a wonderful car – handles great, rides beautifully, the most powerful one yet. However, it is using oil excessively. Specifically, it is using a little more than a quart every 1,000 miles, and this problem existed right from the start (warning lights went off at 3,500 miles ... “return to dealer”). Since then, the oil level has been monitored continuously, and I’m adding two to three quarts between oil changes (Acura is giving me the oil for free). They have looked into the engine with fiber-optic cameras, they have installed a mini-computer under my dash to monitor engine performance (and probably to check whether I was driving the car like a nut), and have found nothing. We’ve tried using different-weight motor oil; we tried synthetic oil, all with no change. The car currently has 52,000 miles on it, and it is still running beautifully. Although no problem has been found with the engine, Acura is offering to replace the engine with a new one (not a factory-rebuilt one, either). They’re not sure it will stop the oil-use problem, but it is the only option they feel they have left. The amount of oil use has increased only slightly: It started at about one quart every 1,000 miles, to now slightly over one quart. Also, the dealer had me bring the car in every 1,000 miles to check the dipstick (perhaps they thought I didn’t know how to read a dipstick). So, that’s the story. Now the question: Do I take Acura up on the offer to replace the engine with a new one (free – it is under warranty)? – Lars TOM: Duh! Are they open
now? RAY: Sure. You definitely should accept the offer. Then you’ll have a brandnew engine in a car with 50,000 miles on it. So you’ll get 300,000 out of this one.TOM: And good for Acura for doing right by you and replacing your engine under warranty. RAY: If you had a Volkswagen, for instance, and your engine burned a quart of every 1,000 miles, they’d tell you that’s “acceptable oil loss” and tell you to get lost. TOM: Acura is acknowledging that your engine must have been mismanufactured somehow – which happens, unfortunately – and they’re taking it upon themselves to make sure you get a car that works as it’s supposed to. RAY: We’ve noticed a fair number of engines these days will burn oil like that from the very beginning. We don’t know why that happens. Most manufacturers, since they can’t afford to keep giving away engines, tell customers that a certain amount of oil burning – a quart every 1,000 or even 500 miles – is “normal,” or “acceptable.” TOM: And while it probably won’t hurt the engine to burn a small amount of oil over time, as long as you keep a close eye on it and never let the oil level get low, it really ticks you off, doesn’t it? I mean, you spend a large chunk of a year’s salary on a brand-new car, and it’s an oil-burner right out of the showroom. RAY: If you wanted an oil-burner, you could have bought one of my brother’s cars for $400. TOM: And it’s likely that those oil-burning engines will only burn more oil as they get older. So I don’t think a quart every 500 or 1,000 miles on a brandnew car should be acceptable. RAY: I actually had a knock-down, drag-out with my local Volvo dealer about my wife’s new car a few years back over this very issue. TOM: He eventually got his new engine, but I think every Volvo dealer in the region now has “Not Wanted” posters of his face near all the doors. RAY: So some manufacturers will try to stonewall
you, but good for you, Lars, for going through all the tests and being polite and persistent. And good
for Acura for doing the right thing and giving you a properly functioning engine for your car. Drop

Indian Wok features cultural fusion ON MY BEAT Jacob Zinn
I
ndian food and Chinese food are quite distinct types of cuisine, but to Sophia and Ian Chung, it was only natural to combine them. The Burnaby couple – both of Chinese backgrounds, but born and raised in India – have been dishing out their blend of the foreign flavours at the appropriately named Indian Wok on the corner of Kingsway and Royal Oak for almost a year. Their unique menu includes a wide variety of plates, ranging from Mumbai style sweet ‘n’ sour vegetables to hot paneer and spicy eggplant. For Ian, getting into the restaurant industry was a great work opportunity as a young man in India, but for Sophia, the restaurant business was just part of growing up in the 1980s. “My parents, they have a restaurant in India, so I
grew up in the restaurant atmosphere,” she recalled. “Then I married my husband, who’s also a restaurant entrepreneur. “We still have a restaurant over there – my uncle is taking care of that place.” Starting off in South Asia, the young couple migrated to Austria with their recipes and opened an Indian/Chinese fusion restaurant in the European country. While they stayed there for the better part of 30 years, they were drawn to the beauty of Burnaby and made the trek over a few years ago. “It’s a nice place, beautiful place, we fell in love with it,” said Sophia. “When we came to Canada, we said, ‘Let’s do one here.’” The Chungs opened Indian Wok in Burnaby last November, and since then, they’ve gained a dedicated local following, mostly from word of mouth. “The aim of opening a restaurant is to make the customer happy,” said Ian. “My main priority in living is to be healthy and happy. When you’re healthy and happy, money is some-

thing but not everything.” And while they’ve travelled nearly 12,000 kilometres from where their one-of-a-kind cuisine was born, Indian Wok is still a family affair. “My mom is in the kitchen checking things, putting their heads down to create something,” said
Sophia. “My brother takes care of most of the marketing and I take care of the front end here.” The Chungs are somewhat surprised that hardly anyone else in the area is blending Indian and Chinese food together. “It’s like the tastes of nearly half the world,”
pointed out Ian with a chuckle. But the two agreed that Burnaby is an ideal place to set up a restaurant boasting such diverse flavours as theirs. “Canada, it’s a multicultural place here,” said Sophia. “People here are so adventurous, they love
to try different food, so it’s a really good opportunity for us to bring something new.” Indian Wok is open from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. from Monday to Friday, and from 5 to 10 p.m. everyday. For more information, check out indianwok.ca.

Gardening tips for blight, fungi
Question: I have several boxwood, which I hope one day will grow together and make a small hedge. Most of them have some part of the bush now turning orange in colour. It started last year and is getting worse. I can’t see any bugs or webs on the bush. What is wrong? Pat Pryce, Maple Ridge Answer: Orange leaves are a symptom of the fungal disease boxwood blight. This started in England, moved to the States and is now in B.C. Sad to say, it’s considered incurable. The orange leaves will die and gradu-
ally fall off while more leaves turn orange. Box blight can spread around neighbourhoods by wind and rain (like other fungal diseases). Fungicides can prevent it, but they can also mask it so a bush may be infected but it seems OK. To be successful with fungicides, you have to cover all the bush, including the stems and undersides of leaves. Unfortunately box is so dense, this is almost impossible to do. There are other shrubs that might make a good replacement hedge. These include Japanese holly (Ilex crenata). This is an evergreen shrub that produces masses of white flowers followed by black berries. It is very hardy. Dwarf rhododendrons make a lovely hedge. The Yakushimanums usually have pink buds and pink or white flowers. Cryptomeria japonica
Carrier Week of the
(Globosa nana) is a dwarf, very rounded evergreen. Dwarf salal is another possibility. You might want to wait to see how fast the blight moves. But it has the reputation of being hard to deal with. Sarcocca can also catch it. So can some other boxes like Buxus microphylla. It can lay dormant in fallen leaves of box for five years. ! Question: My neighbour had a new lawn put in and there are mushrooms growing near the property line. How can I prevent the mushrooms from spreading onto my side of the yard? There is no fence there. Soo Chan, Vancouver Answer: To be absolutely certain, you could install an edging all the way along the property line. It should be deeper down in your soil than the depth of your neighbours new soil. A

I used the Shake and Feed just once when they were planted in May, and they looked gorgeous. Does it just need to be used once a season as it’s quite expensive? Terry Wong, Burnaby Answer: Shake and Feed fertilizer lasts about four months. so you won’t need any till the end of September. But, by then nights are colder and annuals are getting older, tireder and ready to be composted. The best thing you can do is hold off applying it again. Shake and Feed is intended to last a whole season. ! Email gardening questions to amarrison@shaw.ca.

Hospital foundation reveals award winners
The Burnaby Hospital Foundation has announced the recipients of its 2014 Philanthropy Awards. The four awards recognize individuals and corporate citizens with outstanding commitments to health-care excellence through philanthropy and community leadership. This year’s recipients are: ! The Keith and Betty Beedie Award for Leadership in Philanthropy went to William P.J. McCarthy, President and CEO of W.P.J. McCarthy and Company Ltd. ! The Dr. Kenneth Hill Spirit of Philanthropy Award went to Lee Busse. ! Burnaby Hospital Foundation Physician of the Year Award went to Christopher Bozek, M.D. ! Burnaby Hospital Foundation Award for Corporate Citizenship went to ABC Recycling’s president David Yochlowitz. The awards will be presented at the foundation’s annual gala on Nov. 14 at the Delta Burnaby Hotel. Two new award categories were designated this year. The Burnaby Hospital
Foundation Physician of the Year Award will now be granted to a Burnaby Hospital physician, who has demonstrated community leadership and hospital support through philanthropy and personal influence. The Burnaby Hospital Foundation Award for Corporate Citizenship recognizes a local business whose organizational values and dedication to community wellness embodies thoughtful leadership and a strong sense of civic pride. Two former awards have been renamed to honour their inaugural recipients. The Foundation’s Distinguished Patron award, which recognizes an individual or family demonstrating exceptional leadership in supporting Burnaby Hospital through philanthropy, is now the Keith and Betty Beedie Award for Leadership in Philanthropy. The Beedie family is a longtime supporter of Burnaby Hospital Foundation. The Spirit of
Philanthropy Award honours a health-care professional whose generosity has inspired others to become involved in supporting Burnaby Hospital. The Dr. Kenneth Hill Spirit of Philanthropy Award carries the name of the late Dr. Hill whose generosity, kindness and compassion are enshrined in perpetuity though this prestigious award. The foundation provides funding for state-of-the-art equipment and technology, medical education and community wellness initiatives. “Thanks to the generous support of our community, we are making a difference to patients and their families,” said foundation president and CEO Cheryl Carline in a media release. “We are always conscious of the crucial role of these committed individuals and engaged businesses in making that difference – within the walls of our hospital and well beyond.” For tickets to the gala or more information call the foundation at 604-4312881. editorial@burnabynow.com

Bacon jam a huge hit ON COOKING
R
Chef Dez
osemary maple bacon jam. Yes, I said bacon jam. What happens, when you take that wonderfully complex flavour and turn it into jam? True bliss. Recently I featured my recipe for rosemary maple bacon jam at a local fair, and the popularity of this recipe was overwhelming. The best tip I can give you is to use premium bacon from a butcher for best results. This is not a recipe for your run-of-themill grocery store brand. The results are much better with premium bacon. This recipe is not a place for dried rosemary. Fresh rosemary full of wonderful essential oils is the way to go. Use pure maple syrup and not regular pancake syrup. This jam is awesome on crackers with goat cheese, pizzas, bruscetta, sandwiches and almost anywhere you would like
a sweet and savoury concoction. Rosemary maple bacon jam is the perfect topping for almost any appetizers you may be thinking of offering to your guests, like bruscetta, cheese crackers and canapés. My favourite is with soft unripened goat cheese (chevre), as the creamy tanginess is the perfect match for this sweet complex concoction. Recipe: Rosemary Maple Bacon Jam 1 pound bacon slices, cut into 1/4 inch pieces 2 medium onions, quartered and sliced thin 6 to 8 garlic cloves, chopped 1 cup black coffee 2/3 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 cup maple syrup 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh rosemary Add the bacon pieces to a large heavy bottomed pan or dutch oven. Turn the heat to medium/high and cook the bacon until almost crisp (browned and cooked but not crisp), reducing the heat to medium as it starts to turn brown, stirring occa-
sionally, approximately 20 minutes. Remove the cooked bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on paper towels to drain. Remove all but one tablespoon of the bacon fat from the pan. Turn the heat to medium and stir in the onions to the tablespoon of bacon fat followed by the garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until this onion/garlic mixture is softened and slightly browned, approximately five to seven minutes. Add the coffee, brown sugar, maple syrup, vinegar, rosemary and reserved bacon. Stir to combine and increase the heat to medium/high to bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium/low and simmer uncovered for approximately 90 minutes until the mixture is syrupy and has a jam like texture. Transfer this mixture to a food processor and pulse until the consistency and texture are what you desire. Will last up to three weeks in your refrigerator. Makes approximately two cups !
