Candidate cries foul

Fair play?

School board candidate Elias Ishak says antipipeline brochures with the mayor’s photo on them should be classified as political material and, according to the city’s own bylaw, not displayed in public spaces such as Burnaby libraries.

Political pipeline brochure with mayor’s photo on it is ‘hypocritical’ says Elias Ishak Jacob Zinn staff reporter

An aspiring Burnaby school trustee is challenging the city over its sign bylaw, which prohibits election advertising on city property, after finding the incumbent council has political brochures at the library. Several weeks ago, Elias Ishak, who is running as an independent for school board in next month’s election, was informed by the city that he was in violation of Burnaby’s sign bylaw after he placed election signs on streetlights and at intersections. According to the bylaw, “no political or election temporary signs, or temporary signs relating to a public referendum, shall be erected or placed on any public property,” except as otherwise permitted. But shortly after he took down the signs, Ishak said he noticed the Burnaby Public Library carries anti-pipeline brochures with Mayor Derek Corrigan’s pho-

Jennifer Gauthier/ burnaby now

tograph on the cover. Given that the proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion is among the biggest issues in this year’s election, Ishak said he considers the allowance of the brochure at the city-owned library branches hypocritical. “I kind of took it personally because I got a phone call recently saying, ‘You

can’t put up your flyers on city property,’” he said. “It’s one thing for the incumbent party to neutrally publish something without a photo on it before the election, but he had his photo on it.” Ishak noted he doesn’t take issue with the city’s opposition to the pipeline but rather the political nature of the pamphlet.

He said he asked library staff if he could put his own stack of election brochures at their information booth but was told anything with political content is not allowed. However, Sid Cleave, Burnaby’s deputy city clerk, differentiated between Ishak’s Brochures Page 4

MP wants Burnaby waterways protected Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Burnaby-Douglas MP Kennedy Stewart put forward a bill in the House of Commons, calling for the protection of Burnaby Lake, Deer Lake and the Brunette River. The bill, tabled on Oct. 6, is called the

Protecting Burnaby Lakes and Rivers Act, and it was timed to coincide with World Rivers Day, an international celebration of waterways started by Burnaby’s very own Mark Angelo. “At the demand of oil and gas lobbyists, the Conservatives recently removed protections for 98 per cent of Canada’s water

bodies so that proposed development projects – including some pipelines – would no longer need environmental assessments or public consultation before proceeding across our lakes and rivers,” Stewart said in a media statement. The changes Stewart referenced were in the Conservative’s 2012 omnibus budget

bill, which altered Canada’s environmental laws. Stewart’s bill would classify Burnaby Lake, Deer Lake and the Brunette as “navigable waters,” which are protected by the federal government. Bills from the Opposition very rarely become law, as the majority-holding party can easily vote them down.

The survey, conducted from Oct. 1 to 14, attracted 100 respondents, who were asked to select the top three education issues of most concern.

Readers also had the opportunity to voice their own concerns, beyond those listed on the survey. Issues included classroom composition, smaller class sizes, resources for the homeless, respect for teachers and funding for fine arts, special needs students and libraries. One reader raised the issue of public funding for private schools, while another mentioned the pipeline expansion as a concern. (The current Kinder Morgan pipeline runs close to local elementary schools, like Forest Grove and Stoney Creek Community School.)

election signs on the city’s library brochures about the pipeline expansion, noting there is an obligation by the city to inform residents about the project and the city’s stance. “From a staff perspective, we look at the city’s position regarding the

Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion as kind of a formal city initiative,” he said, noting the brochures have been at the library since May. “The city has taken a formal position against the pipeline based on staff research and analysis. We don’t get into the political side of things.”

When asked about the reasoning for putting the mayor’s photo on the brochure, Cleave later replied via email with the following message: “It should be noted that the mayor’s picture as the leader and official head of the city, along with a brief statement or message from him,

OUR VIEW

When sideshows become news EDITOR’S LETTER

Pat Tracy

t was, sadly, predictable. When Sylvia Gung threw her hat in the ring for the mayor’s seat stating that she intended to ban kissing and handholding if elected, she became the media’s bizarre election story darling of the day. The story swept through local TV channels and landed on websites such as the Huffington Post and Vancouver Observer. At presstime today, it is still making the rounds. Even I, as a cynical editor and a veteran member of the media machine, shuddered. Gung’s platform also includes statements such as: the current job of the mayor in the city “allows nothing for the real job – establishing wholesome society” and banning election campaigns, which she says will “restoring (sic) citizens the sense of responsibility.” It’s an old election dilemma. According to the unwritten rule book of journalism election fair play, all candidates get to use the media as a vehicle for their “platforms” – and I use the term “platform” loosely. Any other time of the year some of

these folks couldn’t manage to hold a coherent conversation with someone else in a supermarket aisle, but now they are offered media space to air some fairly bizarre thought patterns. Over the decades I’ve been faced with candidates who are running just because they feel wronged by a bylaw officer, who feel they need the extra money, who believe that despite a failed business, an inability to do basic math and an inability to keep their temper in check, they should be elected to a position of responsibility in government. And why not? It’s a free world, and in a democracy anyone is encouraged to take a run at politics. To discourage anyone seems almost unsporting. I remember one council candidate years ago who had a vendetta against one department in a city. She was determined to get elected so that she could fire the department head. She was a troubled individual who, for whatever reason, sought to dramatize her damaged soul via an election campaign. And, yes, she had her 15 minutes of local election fame. There was another candidate who eventually had to be kept away from council chambers with a restraining order. And, well, we only have to say the name Rob Ford to realize that politics really has no minimum requirements. Elections Page 7

on Homelessness to make sure that folks voted for those issues. Online surveys, of course, are vulnerable to being “plumped” by folks. And ours is no exception. But isn’t that all part of democracy in action? If you phone your like-minded friends and tell them to vote – well, good for you. We were a bit surprised that “one party rule, lack of opposition” came as high as it did. The Burnaby Citizens’ Association has a lock on civic and school politics, and while folks may have qualms about it, it never seems to trans-

late into enough votes to even get one non-BCA slate member elected. Could that change? Perhaps, but it’s highly unlikely. Burnaby Hospital, property taxes and development came relatively high, not surprising. We’ll be exploring those issues as we cover the election campaign. Crime was close to the bottom – clearly not a hot-button issue in this city. Perhaps we should be grateful for that when we compare ourselves to Surrey, where crime seems to be the top hot-button issue.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Pesticide bans are the problem Dear Editor:

Re: Raccoons feast on her grubby lawn, Burnaby NOW, Oct. 8. While reading your article on the raccoons that are destroying local lawns, I couldn’t help but be confused by the focus on the raccoons. They aren’t the real problem – the problem is the larvae. Birds, raccoons and other animals are digging up lawns because the grass is infested with grubs – grubs that aren’t being controlled or killed because of misguided pesticide bans by city and regional governments. It is not a secret that local pesticide bans have made this problem considerably worse by forcing

residents to use ineffective biological agents and expensive microorganisms to kill the larvae. As usual, government doesn’t consider the implications of their actions but instead strives to make itself look good and feel important by passing regulations that only serve to make the lives of citizens more inconvenient and burdensome.

her lawn in Burnaby. My mom and I live on Kitchener Street in North Burnaby, and our backyard has been constantly dug up for the past three years by the raccoons. This year has been the worst ever. As my mom uses a walker to check out her garden at the side of the house, she can no longer go out onto what is supposed to be a beautiful flat green grass lawn as it is all lumpy from trying to roll back the grass that has been dug up. Right now, I have just come in from attempting to roll the grass back but have decided to stop doing this and will have to get someone in to pull up the grass and expose the dirt, hopefully killing off the chafer worm that the raccoons go after and then hopefully the raccoons will get the idea that there is no food for them in our backyard. I have been given numerous suggestions to try to discourage the raccoons from coming into the yard – nematode applications, flashers, dollar store pinwheels, lights and netting, but the raccoons that love our backyard ignore all. Our backyard has always been admired by the HandiDart drivers that assist my

mom to the backyard, by taxi drivers who have also assisted her, and now anyone coming into our backyard is shocked at what was once a beautiful flat backyard lawn is now all torn up. The City of Burnaby is not interested in helping out any homeowner with this problem, and as they have banned any form of chemicals to put down on lawns this problem is only going to get worse. They have suggested calling pest control companies, which I did contact, and if we want to pay upwards of $500-plus to catch the raccoon (no guarantee that they won’t come back – skunks included), I am now at my wits’ end in knowing what to do. If anyone has any suggestions as to whom I can contact to pull up the grass that has been rolled back by the raccoons, I would love to get a company name! Any other recommendations to get rid of the raccoons would also be appreciated. By the way, last night I looked out the basement window and saw a raccoon. I opened the door, yelled at it, sprayed it with water from the hose – and it just looked at me as though to say “Ha, ha, ha, don’t disturb me, I am eating!”

Elections: Who’s a ‘real’ candidate? continued from page 6

Sometimes the lure of media attention for those who are struggling with issues is just too much. They fly into our light like moths to a flame, and, sadly, we shine our light on them just as we do the other candidates. Is it the right thing to do? I don’t know. I watched Gung being interviewed briefly – she is probably a well-meaning,

kind-hearted person, who certainly doesn’t deserve to be ridiculed no matter her unconventional outlook on affection and life. But does she deserve to be treated as if she is a serious contender? Do we as media merely add to the circus atmosphere of elections when we focus on the sideshows? Are we that desperate for views or readers that we will give airtime or webtime or

print space to those who draw us away from the important issues in our cities and schools? Yes, we will cover Gung – it is, after all, a Canadian journalism tradition to tell you who is running and why. But we will restrain ourselves from running a survey on hand-holding and kissing in public. Pat Tracy is the editor of the Burnaby NOW and Record newspapers.

French students Environmental challenge launched dropping out in Burnaby district Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Cornelia Naylor staff reporter

Despite growing numbers overall, the Burnaby school district’s French immersion program consistently loses students at two-and-half times the provincial rate between grades 7 and 8, according to a report by the B.C. and Yukon branch of Canadian Parents for French. The French-language advocacy group’s 2014 State of French Second Language in B.C. & Yukon Report shows enrolment in the local French immersion program grew by 2.73 per cent in 2013/14 despite a drop in overall student numbers. The district was still slightly below the provincial average when it came to the proportion of students in the program, with 2,143 or 8.58 per cent of the district’s total 24,963 population enrolled, compared to 8.9 per cent provincially. Burnaby’s dropout rate in grades 1 to 5 was just over one per cent higher than the provincial average last year – 16.58 per cent, compared to 15.21 per cent provincially. But in grades 7 to 12, Burnaby students left French immersion at a rate 13 per cent higher than the provincial average – 55.97 per cent, compared to 42.96 per cent provincially. The main driver of the high dropout rate was the transition from Grade 7 to Grade 8, where the Burnaby program lost 38.43 per cent of students, compared to 14.31 per cent provincially. “That’s a huge dropout rate,” Canadian Parents for French B.C. execuKevin Kaardal tive director Glyn Lewis told the NOW. superintendent “That signals to me that there’s a bit of a problem there.” Lewis, a graduate of Burnaby’s French immersion program, suggested the absence of a middle school model in the district might be a contributing factor. He remembers the transition from École Inman Elementary School to Moscrop Secondary being a big one. “I lived in North Burnaby, so I had to commute all the way over to Moscrop, which is in central Burnaby,” he said. Superintendent Kevin Kaardal told the NOW the district recognized the need for a high school program in the North in 2008/09, after a surge of interest in French immersion in the elementary grades. The district added a program at Alpha Secondary in 2010/11, and attrition between Grade 7 and 8 dropped seven per cent. But local students moving from elementary to high school have continued to leave French immersion at twice the provincial rate in all the years since then. Kaardal said the ongoing attrition was the result of a lingering “pattern of behaviour” that will change as the program at Alpha takes root. He said the dropout rate between grades 7 and 8 is not currently a major concern because students are not leaving the district. “We offer a variety of programs in the district,” he said. “We’re happy that parents choose them, whether it’s French immersion or AP or our career programs or whatever when they get to secondary.” Lewis, however, said students who drop out of French immersion between elementary and high school miss out on becoming functionally bilingual.

An environmental group is trying to stop the National Energy Board hearing for Kinder Morgan’s pipeline dead in its tracks. In spring, ForestEthics Advocacy filed a legal challenge with the NEB, claiming the hearing process unfairly restricts public participation and refuses to hear concerns related to climate change and oil sands development. Two Burnaby residents and one SFU prof were applicants in that legal challenge. ForestEthics Advocacy recently learned that the NEB rejected the motion, so the group is appealing to the Federal Court of Appeal while seeking an injunction to halt the hearing. “This is a bold move. It’s a relatively new tactic,” said ForestEthics Advocacy spokesperson Sven Biggs. “We feel we’re on really strong legal footing.” Biggs said ForestEthics Advocacy fully expected the NEB’s rejection, but he was surprised at how long it took. Burnaby resident Ruth Walmsley was named in the legal challenge. She applied to participate as an intervenor in the NEB hearing but was rejected entirely. She, too, was not

Walmsley is hoping the federal court of appeal will rule in her favour. “That’s kind of the last hope. … There’s nowhere to go really after that except to stand in front of the project,” she said. “Some people are

willing to engage in non-violent, direct action to stop this project.” The second Burnaby resident named in the original legal challenge is John Clarke, who lives close to Kinder Morgan’s tank farm.

It’s raccoons vs. homeowners, Round 2 Cayley Dobie staff reporter

Another Burnaby homeowner is fed up with raccoons tearing apart her lawn. Leslie Madunic, who lives at North MacDonald Avenue and Eton Street, said the raccoons have made a huge mess of the boulevard that runs in front of her house. The mess is so bad the loose lawn pieces have started clogging up the gutter, she added. Madunic said she has phoned the city’s engineering department three times since Sept. 23 regarding the mess. The first time, she was put through to Tracey Tobin who is the environmental services officer in the city’s engineering department. She told Tobin about her problem with the raccoons and Tobin assured her she would send an assessment team out the following day – no team ever came by. Madunic called back on

Oct. 1 but was put right through to Tobin’s voicemail. On a third call, on Oct. 6, she managed to get Tobin on the phone but said that Tobin didn’t remember her and couldn’t recall their conversation. “‘We already (cleaned) it in the spring time, we’re not doing it again,’ that’s what she said to me,” Madunic said. “So I said, ‘If that’s the case, then I’ll hire two young kids and I’ll have them rake it onto the road.” According to Madunic, Tobin told her she couldn’t do that because it would cause problems for the sewer but again offered no solution or help to clean up the mess. Madunic hopes the upcoming election will make the city reconsider cleaning up the mess left behind by the raccoons. The NOW left repeated messages with Tobin but as of press deadline had yet to hear back. See a related story at www. burnabynow.com.

What’s in a name? Help define B.C.’s ridings B.C. Electoral Boundaries Commission holds public hearing on Oct. 22 How do you want your provincial electoral riding defined? Does it reflect the community you live in? Does the name hold meaning for your area? These are some of the questions the B.C. Electoral Boundaries Commission wants local residents to answer at a public hearing. “These electoral boundaries translate to seats in the legislature,” said commission spokesperson Don Main. The event takes place on Wednesday, Oct. 22 at 9 a.m. at the Executive Suites Hotel, at 4201 Lougheed Hwy. Attendees

can learn about the commission’s process and offer feedback on how their communities should be represented. It’s too early in the process to know what changes will happen in Burnaby, Main added. People who can’t make the hearing in person can offer input online by visiting www.bc-ebc.ca until Nov. 16. Once the first public consultation period has ended, the commission, an appointed group of three people, will redraw the provincial ridings and present the preliminary proposal to the legislature for input. Then, the commission will hold a second round of public consultation before the final report goes back to the legislature for approval. B.C.’s provincial ridings are adjusted after every second provincial election. – Jennifer Moreau

SECTION COORDINATOR Julie MacLellan, 604-444-3020 • jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

Be prepared: There will be tears Burnaby performers take to the stage in reimagined version of Suor Angelica Julie MacLellan staff reporter

amela Morgan and Irina Kim can’t contain it. The enthusiasm they feel about being onstage in Opera Mariposa’s Suor Angelica is emanating from them as they sit and chat about the upcoming performance. The two Burnaby sopranos are making their opera stage debut in the production, which opens Oct. 17 (tonight) at Marpole United Church in Vancouver. Opera Mariposa is a Vancouver-based company that’s dedicated to providing a stage for emerging artists. Morgan and Kim can both wear that badge, although they come from opposite sides of the spectrum. Kim is a Capilano University student in classical music, where she studies with Heather Pawsey. She also studies voice privately with Vancouver-based soprano Raphael Wagner. Morgan, meanwhile, has come into the world of opera in mid-life. She, too, studies voice privately with Wagner, and, for the past several years, has been performing primarily on her own, staging her own opera highlights concerts. Wagner encouraged both students to audition for Suor Angelica – and both were chosen. “It’s my first time ever singing in an opera. I’m in the deep end, but I’m swimming,” Morgan says with a laugh. “What a learning curve for me.” Morgan points out that opera, unlike other forms of vocal performance, also requires you to bring acting skills to the table. “There’s a character you must create,” she points out. She laughs that she found herself originally out of place in a cast full of twentysomethings. “You don’t see any other grey hair in the room,” she says, but she adds it was not an issue. “Sometimes a little maturity is a benefit.” Kim says it’s inspiring to be part of the Opera Mariposa ensemble, noting that most of the singers around her have extensive experience and the cast is packed full of talent. “Our two Suor Angelicas are so amazing,” she says. The title role is shared by sopranos Jacqueline Ko and Sarah Templeton. Two other experienced Burnaby sopranos are also part of the cast: Megan Bryden as the Abbess and Mistress of the Novices, and Julia Fox as the Second Tourière (alms sister). Bryden’s resumé includes performances with the Opera Project, Vancouver Island Opera, Opera Vivace, North Shore Light Opera Society and Dragon Diva Operatic Theatre, among others, as well as work as a concert soloist. Fox is a piano teacher who began her operatic career with the Young People’s Opera Society of B.C., where she played title roles in Hansel and Gretel and Pandora’s

She is a former member of the Burnaby Central Secondary Chamber Choir, currently sings with the Vancouver Peace Choir and has also been onstage with Burnaby Lyric Opera, as well as acting for TV and film. She continues to study voice with Tony Caruso. The singers welcome the chance to be part of director Sergio Augusto Flores’ reimagined version of Puccini’s one-act, one-hour opera. Flores has moved the action to the Second World War, and the convent is occupied by soldiers – a change for the allfemale opera. “Nobody else has ever put men on the stage,” Morgan notes. “They’re always there, and they’re getting in the way of what we need to do.” Flores has also changed a dramatic

moment in the plot – which, in typical operatic fashion, is full of family tragedy and melodrama that includes an illegitimate son, an unforgiving elderly aunt and a death (or two, or three). No spoilers here, but suffice it to say that audiences can expect to see the title sister appear more as victor than victim. “It changes the whole mood,” Fox says. “It changes Suor Angelica from being a victim into having a foot in the outcome of her story.” Be prepared, however: there will be tears. Kim has broken down in tears just watching a video of the performance on YouTube. And Morgan promises that Suor Angelica’s famed aria Senza Mamma (Without Mom) will wrench the heart. But they also promise that, in the end,

the audience will find itself uplifted. The final music is usually interpreted as peaceful and reflective, Fox says – but not this time. “We do it in a more majestic, bright, enlightened way,” Fox says. “It’s a big, glorious ending,” Kim agrees. And while there’s glory onstage, there’s personal triumph at work too – Morgan has always dreamed of being onstage in an opera. “It’s a dream come true,” she says with a smile. “It’s a milestone in my life. My bucket list is getting shorter.” Suor Angelica is onstage Oct. 17, 18, 24 and 25 at Marpole United Church, Vancouver. Tickets are $22 regular or $18 for seniors and students.

Archibald Rodrigues is working with the Life Raft support group for patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumour. File photo/ burnaby now

He’s offering a life raft to those with rare cancer Cornelia Naylor staff reporter

Archibald Rodrigues’s introduction to gastrointestinal stromal tumour (GIST) was terrifying, but without it, he might not have found out he had the rare cancer until it was too late. About four years ago, the then 78-yearold Burnaby resident got up at about 5 a.m. to use the washroom, when he experienced a severe hemorrhage and collapsed. “There was blood all over; it was a mess,” he said. “I’d never been sick before or anything like that, so my wife was absolutely in panic stations.” After hemorrhaging and collapsing again at Burnaby Hospital, emergency surgery revealed a tumour the size of a small mandarin orange in his stomach. It was removed, along with a third of his stomach, but it could have been worse. Some GISTs are not cancerous, but generally speaking, the bigger they get, the greater the risk. “Fortunately the operation must have done a real good job because I am not taking any cancer treatment,” Rodrigues said. Because GIST is rare, information about

his new disease wasn’t easy for Rodrigues to find, until his family doctor recommended an information session being put on by the Life Raft Group, a patient support organization for people with GIST. “It is something that I wish I had known when I first got (GIST),” Rodrigues said. “For the first one-and-a-half years, I did not even know it was a type of cancer. It widened my horizon on what the facts are and what could happen and what I should be doing. These are some of the things doctors don’t normally have the time to sit down and talk to you about.” Rodrigues, now a director with Life Raft, wants to pass that support on to others dealing with his disease. “My message to people is, I hope you don’t have it, but if you do, call me. I’d like to help if I can,” he said. Life Raft is hosting a free day of education at the Coast Coal Harbour Hotel this Saturday (Oct. 18) from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Three experts will be on hand to present information about GIST diagnosis and treatment, the emotional impact of the disease and the drugs available to treat it. For more information, phone 1-855LRG-GIST (574-4478) or visit www.life raftgroup.ca.

he Toyota Venza is somewhat unique in Toyota’s lineup, which consists of high-quality models with generic characteristics. The Venza boasts expressive styling, an engaging driving experience, driverfriendly technology and

impressive versatility that gives it a bit more charisma. The Venza is larger than the RAV4, yet smaller than the seven-passenger Highlander. This makes the Venza a great choice for someone looking for the versatility of a small SUV who doesn’t want the bulk or brutish look of some SUV’s.

Your journey starts here.

Toyota Venza: A roomy, versatile crossover that’s hard to beat in its class continued from page 21

for the 2013 model year, so Toyota didn’t make huge alterations for 2014. XLE and Limited models receive standard powerfolding mirrors, and the Limited also adds front and rear parking sensors.

The Venza shares the same platform as the Toyota Camry and Highlander. Therefore, the V6 engine, transmission, brakes, steering and suspension are the same and can be trusted as reliable. But despite the fact that it shares its platform with

other Toyota vehicles, the U.S.-based design team made sure it is visually different from the Camry and the Highlander.

Thumbs Up

Making AWD available across the Venza range is a much appreciated

gesture from Toyota. The one-touch fold-flat seats certainly makes the Venza very user-friendly. The car provides good balance of performance and comfort.

still leaves plenty to desire. It is somewhat unique in its approach, but is it unique enough?

The Bottom Line

The 2014 Toyota Venza is a roomy, versatile crossover that offers premium styling and car-like driving dynamics that are hard to beat in this class.

Thumbs Down

While the base engine is reasonably economical, it

Hastings Veterinary Hospital Celebrates Animal Health Week

Veterinarians and animal wellness advocates throughout Canada celebrated Animal Health Week September 28 to October 4, 2014. This yearly appreciation week is to celebrate the lovely and varied animal species we veterinary professionals work with. This is a time we celebrate popular companion pets like dogs and cats as well as larger species like cattle and horses; and the more “exotic” ones like rabbits and reptiles. The veterinary profession is responsible for the care of all animal species after all. The Canadian Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA) chose this opportunity to highlight the importance of responsible antimicrobial use by one and all during this years’ celebration, as not all illnesses require antibiotic use.

Event hosts Brandi Watson and Ashley Lemond of Hastings Veterinary Hospital

Celebrating 40 Years of Caring

Pet Nutrition & Supply Stores

BC family ~ owned & operated since 1974

Event organizers Carmen Saenz, Dr Jangi Bajwa (owner), Dr. Amit Ranjan and Dr. Amardeep Bajwa (owner)

Alongside other veterinarians in the lower mainland, the veterinary care team at our clinic; Hasting Veterinary Hospital, celebrated the importance of pet-care on with some very enthusiastic and knowledgeable pet parents. The event held October 4th in the Burnaby Heights area, included educational seminars on important pet health topics. The event named “Healing is a team effort” was in appreciation of educated pet parents being a vital part of responsible pet ownership. This was just one of many efforts by veterinarians across Canada to help further improve our nations’ top notch, compassionate care for animals, large and small. These events would not be possible without the involvement of eager, nurturing pet parents. If you are an animal lover and missed this year’s celebrations, be a part of the celebration next year during the week of October 4-10, 2015. You can contribute by getting involved in helping organize a pet-health celebration event with a veterinary team or an animal care group; or by attending a pet health educational event.

ANIMAL ID: 341640

Here’s a bit of an insight into my background and personality: Meet Lucy! A beautiful husky cross that was brought into the SPCA with her best buddy Roger. These two are quite the pair and are the best of friends. We are looking for a home that both of them can settle down in and live happily ever after. These two will need an active home with owners who are willing to redirect some of the naughty behaviours they have picked up on their journey through life. Both dogs are quite vocal due to the breed and are very easily excitable which makes them eager to jump up. They are both very good listeners, take direction well, are easily walked together, and make an adorable friendship. If you think you are able to provide these friends are forever home please inquire with staff!

Rex is a little ham! He loves nothing more then to curl up beside his humans and be groomed and pampered. This little dude was found on the streets of Burnaby. He came to us well socialized, litter trained and very outgoing and friendly. He is afraid of dogs and would ideally go into a home where he could bond with another rabbit. He has an adorable habit of grooming you and himself while he gets scratched. Rex is quiet, somewhat playful and loves his veggies! He would be great in an apartment setting as he is only a petite guy and as long as he gets plenty of exercise, he is content to laze around. This is one very special bunny. Have we drawn you in? Come visit the marvellous Rex!

ELLE

LEXI

ANIMAL ID: 234662 And I am a 3 Year 6 Month 3 Week old, Spayed Female, Domestic Short Hair, Mixed Breed.

Lexi is a lovely, velvety soft beauty looking for a great home. Lexi was surrendered after she wasn’t going to bathroom in her litter box. We think Lexi was very unhappy living with the other animals in the household as she never had this problem when she was the only kitty. Since being with us Lexi has been a total angel, now on the right diet, she uses her litter box with no issue. Lexi is one of the most outgoing and affectionate personalities around. Lexi is such a sweetheart and deserves a furever home that is pet and children free. She is very playful and always uses her scratching post. She has always been an indoor kitty and enjoys gazing outside the window! Come meet this angel of a girl!

ANIMAL ID: 346829

And I am a 2 Year 2 Week old, Spayed Female, Domestic Short Hair, Mixed Breed.

Introducing the beautiful Elle! Talk about one loving, affectionate kitty. After working very hard, raising six beautiful kittens, this truly special girl needs a home of her own. She loves to be brushed and petted. If she is sitting up high she will put her front legs on your shoulders and nuzzle your face and give you a few licks to show you how much she loves you. Now that Elle has settled in she doesn’t seem bothered by other calm cats. She is full of beans and just loves to climb her scratching post, while hunting for tiny toy mice. She would be okay with calm children that are respectful. This angel of a girl is waiting for you to come scoop her up. Don’t hesitate, you will not be disappointed.

Beat ‘gymtimidation’ Shaun Karp

o you experience self-consciousness or anxiety when entering a gym? It might be simple nerves, but it could be “gymtimidation” – a feeling common among both genders and people of all fitness levels that causes stress and intimidation in gym settings. Some experience gymtimidation because they simply do not like others noticing them while they exercise. Others have developed low self-confidence based on feeling judged for their fitness level or exercise knowledge. Whatever the cause, gymtimidation often prevents those affected from entering fitness environments and can interfere with the performance of a regular exercise routine. Here are five pointers to help you overcome gymtimidation: 1. Have a plan:

THE 1 PAIR OF JEANS YOU NEED THIS FALL

itis. 4. Start at slow times: Most gyms are busiest between 4 and 6:30 p.m. If you perform your first few workouts outside of those hours, you can gain familiarity with the equipment and work on technique with fewer distractions. No matter what, avoid negative thoughts and use positive reinforcement during workouts. Repeat, “I am doing great!” 5. Bring a friend: It is a great idea to work out with a friend, especially in the initial stages of a new fitness program. Together, you should feel more relaxed and more willing to try new things. Gymtimidation is very real, but it can be managed so it won’t prevent you from achieving your goals. Remember, even experienced exercisers can feel uncomfortable in the gym, at times, especially after prolonged breaks or when rehabilitating injuries. The key is self-belief, setting attainable goals, and holding yourself accountable. Do all this and you can overcome any fitness barrier. Shaun Karp is a certified personal trainer. Visit www. karpfitness.com.

Writing workouts down allows you to enter the gym with greater purpose. Within that plan, always schedule a warm-up on a treadmill or bike. This lets you adjust mentally to being in the gym. Once you feel comfortable and your body is warm, it will be easier to continue with your routine. 2. Have a backup plan: Sticking rigidly to your plan could lead to waiting for equipment or exercising uncomfortably close to others. While asking for a turn on equipment and working out near others are fine gym etiquette, gymtimidation sufferers may prefer to perform exercises out of order or, better still, utilize backup exercises for the same muscle groups. 3. Focus on technique: When you exercise, focus closely on form. This won’t leave you with much time to notice if others are watching. For instance, when performing squats, focus on keeping your head forward and back straight, the depth of each repetition and good balance. This will also help you target your muscles better and avoid common gym injuries, like tendon-
