Burnaby Mountain drama continues Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Police are no longer enfrocing a court injunction at the main area where protesters have been gathering on Burnaby Mountain for the past two weeks, now that Kinder Morgan crews have completed pipeline survey work on Centennial Way. The road, which is the only access to Horizons Restaurant, is now open to single-lane traffic. Staff Sgt. Major John Buis from the Burnaby RCMP told the NOW police’s nogo zone on Centennial Way has been cut in half, and there will be fewer officers on the mountain. “There will be a For reduction, but what the more reduction is I can’t say photos, at this time,” Buis said. scan “We’ve put tape up for with one side of the road for Layar police vehicles and to continue our operation.” Anyone marching up the mountain to cross the yellow police tape on Centennial Way will be arrested for obstruction, which is a Criminal Code charge, explained Buis. However, the court injunction still stands in a clearing in the woods known as bore hole 1, another site where Kinder Morgan is still working. The vast majority of the 126 protesters arrested so far have been charged with civil contempt for breaking the courtimposed injunction prohibiting people from interfering with Kinder Morgan’s survey work for a new pipeline route in the conservation area. The latest arrests include a group of the original organizers of the Clayoquot Sound blockade, and on Thursday morning, after NOW deadlines, Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs was planning to march up the mountain to be arrested. The National Energy Board gave Kinder Morgan till Dec. 1 to complete the survey work. The company is on track to meet that deadline, but Kinder Morgan’s legal counsel is still requesting to extend the injunction to Dec. 12.

“The injunction extension will allow us to complete the work already underway on Burnaby Mountain; work necessary to inform the detailed design and engineering for the proposed pipeline,” the company wrote in an email to the NOW. Meanwhile, the B.C. Civil Liberties Association is questioning whether the recent arrests are even legitimate. RCMP have set up exclusion zones marked by yellow police tape, around the injunction areas, creating a zone within a zone. The problem, as the association sees it, is that the injunction areas were never clearly marked in the first place, and people have been arrested for crossing police imposed lines, which don’t correspond to

Core question: Alex Baumgard, senior geotechnical engineer for the Trans Mountain expansion project, displays the first core samples taken on Burnaby Mountain. Preliminary survey work indicates that the mountain is stable enough for pipeline drilling.

Mountain tunnelling is ‘feasible’ Preliminary survey work indicates Burnaby Mountain is stable enough for pipeline Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Kinder Morgan’s preliminary survey work indicates the ground on Burnaby Mountain is stable enough to tunnel through for a new pipeline route. The reason for the ongoing survey work is to determine if the mountain is stable enough to support a pipeline, and early indications show a tunneling option is possible. “At this point, we are able to say a trenchless alternative is feasible,” said Alex Baumgard, of BCG Engineering. Kinder Morgan was considering either tunnelling or using horizontal directional drilling through Burnaby Mountain to connect the tank farm to the Westridge Marine Terminal. Tunnelling is a more expensive option and would cost roughly $47 million, while horizontal directional drilling, which involves bor-

ing a hole through the mountain and pulling the pipeline though with the drill, would cost the company an estimated $24 million. Core samples and early analysis indicate tunnelling would be preferable, which means there would be enough space to also deactivate the existing Westridge line and run that through the mountain instead. One of the major concerns with the mountain route was earthquakes and fault lines, but Baumgard said data from his company and SFU indicates the area is seismically stable. “A fault has never been observed on the south side of the Burrard Inlet,” he said. Kinder Morgan contracted SFU professors John Clague and Doug Stead, who are using the company’s data for a new study examining earthquake fault lines for the entire Lower Mainland. Kinder Morgan’s survey work marks the first time core samples have been taken this deep from in the mountain. Kinder Morgan contractors have been working around the clock for the past five days, taking core samples from two locations on Burnaby Mountain. Those samples pulled up a mix of sandstone,

siltstone, conglomerate and traces of coal, which is what they expected. The mountain route was not in Kinder Morgan’s original application to the National Energy Board, so the board extended the hearing to allow for further studies on Burnaby Mountain but gave the company a Dec. 1 deadline. BCG Engineering has been drilling, while police have been holding protesters back with a court injunction. At press time, the total number of arrests was at least 79, as people chose to cross the injunction line. Baumgard’s crews have been working in the midst of ongoing protests. “The verbal abuse that’s been said at people can increase the stress levels out there,” Baumgard said. “But essentially we are trained to do the work and get it done.” Kinder Morgan opted for the mountain route because it was considered less invasive than following the existing line, which runs through Burnaby’s Westridge neighbourhood. Kinder Morgan still needs the NEB’s approval before expanding the Trans Mountain pipeline.

of Islam, at least – makes it all right. After a few decades of an apparently growing global awareness of the rights of women, it seems things are moving back towards darkness. But the problem isn’t “over there.” It’s right here at home. Up to 50 per cent of women in this country have suffered sexual or physical abuse. Women are 11 times more likely than men to suffer sexual violence. (Yes, that’s in Canada.) Statistics Canada has determined that,

every night in this country, an average of more than 3,000 women are sleeping in shelters to escape abuse, and an average of more than 400 per day can’t be accommodated by Canada’s 600 or so existing shelters. And, sadly, many of the women living with violence also have children – who then get trapped in untenable situations far beyond their control. Violence against women gets international attention. But the solutions have to start right here at home.

IN MY OPINION

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Trustees respond to criticism Dear Editor:

Re: “Flash of intelligence” for trustees, Letters to the editor, Burnaby NOW, Nov. 21. As trustees of the Burnaby board of education, we feel compelled to write a response this letter. As a school district that values respect, diversity and inclusion, we were shocked and dismayed at the tone and suggestions made. As a result, we believe it important to provide accurate facts. The Burnaby school district has a total enrolment of over 24,000 school-age students and 12,000 adult learners. The continued reference that the Burnaby school district is not enrolling “7,000 local children” is simply inaccurate and deliberately misleading. It should be noted that the 7,000 school-age student figure that is quoted includes over 2,000 students

who have already graduated. The facts are that the Burnaby school district has done an exemplary job of attracting and retaining students while most other metro-area school districts have experienced enrolment decline. Year after year, Burnaby schools have seen a significant net gain of students from other districts. What draws so many families to our public schools? Burnaby schools offer programs, services and opportunities second to none. Our students, teachers and schools win awards locally, provincially, nationally and internationally. Burnaby has sustained enrolment and continues to attract and retain students by developing creative and innovative programs, including fine arts programs, sports academies, specialty programs and one of the strongest advanced placement programs in Canada.

Every year, students and families continue to choose and attend Burnaby’s public schools. This includes students both locally and abroad. Burnaby’s exemplary reputation is far-reaching and, as a result, we have one of the finest international education programs in the province. What began as a modest program in 2002 has now grown to one of the most sought after programs worldwide. The program yields over $14 million in revenue for the school district. And, most importantly, the thriving program adds to the rich diversity of Burnaby’s classrooms and creates a global experience for all students. For us, it means that every child is provided with an opportunity to learn, reach their potential and discover new possibilities. Thank you for your interest in public education.

Let’s find middle ground Dear Editor:

I have a pet peeve. It’s people who can’t seem to engage in a rational discussion or find middle ground and compromise. There are countless examples I could point to, but the example that interests me the most here in the context of B.C. is the one that pits the economy against the environment as if they were mutually and diametrically antagonistic concepts. I have news for people: the environment and the economy are not opposites. They are different forms of the same thing and complexly intertwined. Take a look around. It’s painfully easy to see that our B.C. economy is almost entirely based on our environment. Our land and sea resources are incredibly rich. They sustain us. We are also situated in a highly strategic location geographically with one of the

great natural ports of the world. The very rocks that make up our land base contain valuable metals which can be transformed into endlessly useful products like bikes, lifesaving hospital equipment and safe copper wiring for our homes. Yet there are those on the environmental fringes, people who can’t seem to engage in a rational discussion or find common ground or compromise, who would leave our natural resource wealth locked in the ground. They would shut down all mines and leave thousands jobless. They completely ignore modern resource extraction practices that tread lightly on the environment and restore sites to their natural state afterwards. Their minds are closed to any view other than their own. Having a rational discussion with these people, as I’ve discovered, will get you nowhere fast. Perhaps I’m an optimist, but I sincerely believe that there is common ground out there to be found if people are willing to engage one another rationally and respectfully. In fact, I’m certain of it; despite my frustrating experiences with an irrational few. Protecting and caring for our environment and supporting our economy are not diametrically opposed values. They are one and the same. Rational people know this to be true and know that we can value and have both as part of an integrated, sustainable whole. Donald Leung, Burnaby

Standing behind the police Dear Editor:

To the RCMP working on Burnaby Mountain: We recognize the degree of perseverance required to fulfil your duties. The radical climate alarmist lawbreakers will taunt you and attempt to draw you into physical struggles.

change things, improve our communities, and add value to our lives and others’. It is important that we engage. If not just for the benefit of leaving your own personal mark – a legacy, but for the benefit of the community, city and world we live in. The final Clef recital at the Shadbolt was held on Nov. 16. This recital was by students of the Broadway and

Markham music studio, from North Vancouver. A “wind-up” party after the recital concluded the event and the official function of the Clef Society of Burnaby – after 65 years of successful operation. The #WeDay event has come and gone from Vancouver, but hopefully we can all be inspired by its message and come together to make the world a better place through local and global action. For those interested in

getting involved but not sure how, there is now a free app We365. Next time you see someone in need, or a society in need, take a moment to engage – and whether the outcome is good or bad, at least you will know you did your part.

the injunction zones. “That is the big issue,” said Josh Paterson, executive director of the association. “The police tape line doesn’t appear to conform to the injunction.” When asked if the arrests to date would be thrown out of court, Paterson said he didn’t know and that would be for the courts to decide in January. Buis said he didn’t know if the police tape matched the injunction area. “We’ve been in discussion with Department of Justice lawyers,” he told the NOW. “We put the tape up based on our best knowledge. The injunction also gives us a work area.” Like Paterson, Buis said it will be up to the courts to decide what happens. “I think that’s the fairest way to find out,” he said. On Thursday morning, activists also chained their necks to the doors of the Vancouver court house, protesting Kinder Morgan’s proposed pipeline expansion.

Should Kinder Morgan pay policing costs? Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Response Team, a team of negotiators and the Integrated Forensic Identification Team. Police continue to maintain a 24-hour presence in the conservation area. Corrigan did not know when the final numbers on policing costs would be available, and when they are, he may not be able to release them, as there will be ongoing negotiations about who will pay. Corrigan said some of the regional police resources (like IHIT, for example) are typically covered by the province, so it’s likely the City of Burnaby will not be stuck with 100 per cent of the final costs.

Policing bill:

Who will pay for the Police policing costs on Burnaby from all Mountain? That’s the millionover the dollar question, and Mayor Lower Derek Corrigan is already Mainland calling on Kinder Morgan to have help pick up the tab. been on The City of Burnaby will Burnaby likely be stuck with some Mountain costs, while the provincial around the government normally covers clock for the regional policing resourcat least a es. week. However, Corrigan is going to argue Kinder Morgan should also be on the hook.

Dietitian isn’t afraid to walk the walk Cornelia Naylor staff reporter

Fortius Sport & Health dietitian Ashley Charlebois isn’t afraid to put her money where her mouth is when it comes to diet advice. Four years ago, when she found out about a diet (the low FODMAP diet) that was helping people in Australia deal with irritable bowel syndrome, she tried it on herself three times just to make sure it worked. “I did it to see what challenges my clients would go through, so I could better provide a plan for them,” she said. Having herself grown up with IBS (which she describes as a medical umbrella term for “we don’t know what’s wrong with you”) Charlebois was pleasantly surprised the diet helped her too. “I thought I had it figured out a long time ago,” she said. Turned out she had a wheat intolerance she hadn’t discovered before. Charlebois began accumulating her blend of personal and researchbased nutrition know-how as a kid working through her own digestive issues. “I found that using nutrition and changing my diet helped so much, and that doctors at the time weren’t able to help me,” she said. She has since converted those early experiences into a career, earning a bachelor’s degree in dietetics at McGill and a master’s in exercise physiology and nutrition at UBC. It was at UBC that the Ottawa native began to veer off the beaten path usually pursued by dietitians. Her studies focused on a program of nutrition and exercise to help people with chronic kidney disease. In the exercise physiology lab, she started connecting with a lot

of athletes. She has since worked with a wide range of sports organizations, including a Canadian men’s Olympic field hockey team, the Vancouver Whitecaps, Skate Canada, Gymnastics B.C. and Cycling B.C. Given that resumé, Fortius was a great fit for her when the centre opened in May 2013, especially since she was eager to work as part of a team. “A fully integrated team approach is way more effective than one person on their own,” she said. “I’ve worked in a couple of other multidisciplinary clinics, which are different than interdisciplinary clinics. It’s a bunch of different health professionals that work under the same roof but they don’t actually collaborate, and there’s no point really. I might as well work on my own.” Charlebois brought her expertise in digestive health with her when she joined the centre, so on any given day she might be helping an elite soccer player optimize performance with the right foods, at the right times, in the right combination, or she might be helping someone pinpoint food intolerances and sensitivities to help manage Chrohn’s disease, celiac disease, IBS or ulcerative colitis. The job isn’t without its challenges. It’s tough for Charlebois to watch high-level athletes put so much effort into training only to be held back by an inadequate diet. “If they ate properly, they would see so much improvement in their performance,” she said. Alternatively, there’s nothing more rewarding for Charlebois than helping people who feel they’re too sick to lead healthy and active lives get on their feet and start meeting their goals. “We can do so much with their diets,” she said. cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Nutrition know-how:

Fortius Sport & Health dietitian Ashley Charlebois’s career helping people manage chronic illnesses and boost athletic performance with nutrition started when she was a youngster working through her own digestive problems through trial and error. “I just found what I love. I got lucky, I think. Not everyone finds what they love right away,” she says.

Reporter’s diet questioned in Week 5 ON MY BEAT

Cornelia Naylor

For 14 weeks, NOW health reporter Cornelia Naylor has been assigned to undertake a “Fortius challenge,” setting fitness and performance goals and experiencing first-hand the many ways Burnaby’s

Fortius Sport & Health can help. As a rehab project, the team will zero in on a lingering shoulder injury, but Cornelia will also get a chance to sample everything else Fortius has to offer, from massage therapy to diet advice and from vision testing to a scientific analysis of her running gait. Here’s her fifth report: ortius Sport & Health dietitian Ashley Charlebois and I are negotiating. A week ago, I’d sat down in her office and she had grilled me

about my food intake the day before, including the types of food I’d eaten, the time of consumption and the portion sizes. Charlebois eschews normal weights and measures like pounds or litres. When querying me about the tortellini I’d eaten, she had asked how much in relation to the size of her fist. One fist? Two fists? How many thumb-sizes of cheese? Was that piece of meat about the size of a deck of cards? About a ping-pong ball’s worth

of cream in your coffee, then? We had gone through what I’d eaten and drunk from waking till sleeping, and Charlebois has since plugged the information into a nutrient analysis program. Today we are going over the results and coming up with a diet plan. “Your total fat intake was a little on the higher end,” Charlebois says, looking at tables on her computer. “Your saturated fat content was about double

what you’d actually want it to be. That’s probably the biggest thing I would focus on.” Considering not dying of a heart attack like my mother was a goal I’d set with Charlebois last week, that seems fair, but I ask the slim, clearly fit 30-yearold, who recently finished her first triathlon, if she ever feels judge-y talking to people about their diets. “Yeah, but I don’t like that feeling,” she says. Fortius Page 12

Fortius: Detailed daily nutrition with fewer late-night potato chips continued from page 11

She explains that she doesn’t judge but sometimes gets the feeling that others might think she is. “I think a lot of times people are hesitant to say what they actually eat, but it’s like, if you really want help, just be honest. I’ve seen it all.” She tells me my baseline diet is healthier than most people’s (which I’m pretty sure is just a ploy to get me excited about eating even better) but almost everyone can improve. Toward that end, Charlebois has worked out what and how much I should be eating based on my weight, height, age, activity level and goals. After giving me a few miscellaneous pointers – like that I should consider a vitamin D supplement and generally try to get vegetables to cover half my plate at any given meal – we start hammering out a detailed “daily nutrition plan.” Let the negotiations begin. “I do it with you,” Charlebois says, “so that you have feedback as to what’s on your plan so that you can enjoy what you’re eating as well.” What that looks like, is me trying to hang onto my evening potato-chip snack,

One-man team

while she amiably and persistently tries to get me to give it up. “There’s no way I could sway you to switching that to popcorn once in a while?” she suggests. “What about trying to reduce the amount and trying to add a fruit on the side?” The same goes for switching the cream in my coffee to milk and cutting down my prodigious cheese intake. “I’m just going to keep trying,” she says. By the end, we have a plan that starts with breakfast and ends with an evening snack (sometimes popcorn, sometimes chips). Given my vague dietary goals going in, my consultation with Charlebois is pretty straightforward, but for people coming to her with high-level performance goals or debilitating chronic illnesses, she can be a godsend for sorting nutritional fact from an avalanche of fiction. “You can find so much information on the Internet,” she says, “and it’s so hard to filter through. What I do is try to guide them.” Next stop, performance vision screening. Follow Cornelia’s journey at www.burn abynow.com.

It’s that time of year again. The Burnaby Potters’ Guild is hosting its annual Christmas show and sale this Saturday. The event is being put on at Capitol Hill Hall, located at the corner of Hastings Street and Howard Avenue. The fundraising initiative, now in its 37th year, will feature 15 artists from the club.

“It’s a place for people who are between taking classes and having their own studios, to showcase their stuff,” said coordinator Suzan Marczak. The money raised will help with the guild’s operating costs, including paying the rent at the Shadbolt Centre and for the materials used on a weekly basis. The group hopes to raise $12,000 in total, similar to what was collected last year. The show and sale is held twice a year (the other

time during the summer), and attracts hundreds of shoppers, according to Marczak. “There will be a lot of functional ware that’s colourful and eclectic,” she said. “It’s a great time to start your Christmas shopping.” This year’s theme is “Santa’s Little Helpers.” For more information, visit burnabypottersguild. yolasite.com.

Westcoast Seniors Stephen D’Souza, executive director of Burnaby Community Services.The organization runs the annual Christmas Bureau and a seniors’ hamper program. – Larry Wright, photo

Bureau helps seniors

hen Christmas comes around, it’s heartbreaking to know there are some local seniors who have no means to celebrate. That’s front of mind for the folks at Burnaby Community Services, the local organization that facilitates the Burnaby Christmas Bureau. For years, the bureau has provided food and gifts for low-income families during the holidays, so parents have something to put under the tree for their children. About four years ago, Burnaby Community Services also started helping seniors by providing holiday hampers. “It was just a recognition of growing need amongst seniors who are increasingly isolated in their homes,” said Stephen D’Souza, executive direc-

tor of Burnaby Community Services. “We thought this would be at least one small way to connect them to the community.” Every year, Burnaby Community Services puts a call out for people to sponsor local seniors at Christmas and works with other service groups – such as Voices of Burnaby Seniors and Progressive Housing – to find seniors who may need some extra help at Christmas. “We have access to the seniors who are the most isolated and the most alone,” D’Souza said. Once seniors sign up for the program, they identify what they need for the holidays, which often includes food and gifts. They are matched with a member of the public who agrees to buy the things on the senior’s wish-list to create a gift hamper.

“It’s not a one-sizehamper-fits-all situation. It’s more about catering to the needs of that senior,” D’Souza explained. Gift requests can be household items, like candles, gloves or a nice blanket, D’Souza added. “Just something they really want that would help them celebrate the holidays,” he said. Once the hampers are put together, the sponsors arrange a time to meet the seniors to deliver the goods. D’Souza said it’s sometimes difficult to find seniors who need help, as they may be isolated and wary of strangers. “It can be a challenging population to work with as well, just in terms of finding them. Those who are isolated are not see pg. 17 …

Westcoast Seniors

Seniors receive food and gifts for Christmas …from pg. 16 always comfortable talking to those they don’t know,” he said. “Some of these people were active influential people in our community who had thriving networks and friends. Slowly, almost unnoticeably, they disappear. … They just shut themselves away.” Sometimes their partners or friends have passed away and their families live in other cities.

D’Souza recalled one scenario where the client was barely eating, and the sponsor insisted something be done. Burnaby Community Services was able to get that senior signed up with Meals On Wheels and connected to Fraser Health. Stories like that are not uncommon, D’Souza said. There are also mental health issues, language barriers and addictions, he added.

“I think it’s important not to forget these seniors any time, but particularly at Christmas we see an increase of depression,” D’Souza said. “Christmas is a time for family, and when you are alone, it can be very hard.” Seniors who wish to sign up for the Christmas Bureau’s program can do so until the end of November, either in person or at the bureau’s toy room at 7252 Kingsway.

Registration involves showing proof of income. A c-print from Revenue Canada is ideal, D’Souza explained, and registration just involves filling out a form. Folks who sign up to help a local senior will receive a sponsorship package. Sponsorship costs start around $100 for a single senior or $200 for a couple. The food and gifts must be bought by Dec. 14. For seniors who

are homeless or at risk of homelessness, sponsors can use the bureau’s toy room as a meeting place. Last year, the bureau helped 95 seniors, but this year, D’Souza doesn’t yet have the final number, as more are still signing up. However, the need is growing, he added. D’Souza encouraged people to keep an eye out for seniors during the holidays. “If you are living in an

apartment building or (a) street where seniors are living, take the time to go by and see how they are doing and wish them a merry Christmas so they know they are not alone,” he said. For more information on how to give or get help through the seniors hamper program, contact Burnaby Community Services at 604-299-5778 or visit www.burnabycom munityconnections.com.

Explore art at the libraries Art lovers can enjoy two ongoing Burnaby Art Gallery exhibitions at Burnaby Public Library branches. The gallery is continuing its off-site exhibition series with two exhibits, with work by Vivienne Kubik at the McGill library branch and work by Ben Frey at the Bob Prittie library branch. The exhibition at the McGill branch, on until Dec. 8, features a selection of prints in a variety of media that were created by Kubik at the Malaspina Printshop between 1979 and 1982. Kubik was a dress designer in her native England before moving to Canada in 1958. She then enrolled in the Emily Carr College of Art and Design, graduating with honours in print making. Kubik’s work has appeared in numerous group exhibitions at Burnaby Art Gallery, but this marks the first exhibition consisting solely of her work. The McGill library branch is at 4595 Albert St. in North Burnaby.

At the Bob Prittie (Metrotown) library branch, meanwhile, visitors can see illustrations and paintings by Frey, on display until Dec. 7. His work draws from various literary and fantasy sources, with inspirations that include traditional Western tattoo design, children’s books and political and cartoon imagery. The work on display at the library is displayed as “darkly comical.” Frey is a graduate of Capilano University’s design and illustration program and has illustrated three children’s books with Annick Press and Simply Read Books. The Metrotown library branch is at 6100 Willingdon Ave. Both exhibitions can be viewed at any time during library hours – check www. bpl.bc.ca for library details.

If the answer is YES, I want to learn from you! I am a PhD Candidate at Simon Fraser University. My research aims to gain insight about how parents navigate this experience and make sense of it over time. I believe that parents who have overcome these difficulties or moved on in spite of them can offer valuable insights to inform practitioners, policy makers and other divorcing parents. Participation would involve 2-4 hours, including a confidential interview of 1.5-2 hours. Participants will receive a cash honorarium.

Toyota’s put a fresh new face on their smallest oﬀering BY BRENDAN McALEER

brendanmcaleer@gmail.com

Tweet: @brendan_mcaleer

“It’s a car!” That was the old tag-line for the Yaris commercials. Lest you think they protest a bit too much, the idea was pretty simple: here’s a little car with everything you need, and not much more than that. Personally, that’s my kind of machine. Just the facts, ma’am, - no need for 18-way seats and body-roll-controlling hydraulics, and on-board infotainment systems that can scan your brainwaves to ﬁnd the best radio station. Nope, sometimes it’s better if a car is just a car. Toyota’s put a fresh new face on their smallest offering, and by “fresh,” I of course mean “scary.” Yikes, that’s one aggressive looking little eco-pod! So, is the machine behind the fright mask still packing the essentials, or is there something more sinister going on here?

Well that’s certainly a unique take up front. No-one could accuse Toyota’s design department of being afraid to take a risk or two. What once was a tad on the bland side now looks like a cross between a Tiki mask and a Mexican Wrestler. It’s all just for show, so don’t worry – the Yaris isn’t going to bite. In fact, take a brief walkaround to peek at its other four angles, and the car remains as it was before, an inoffensive and handsome little economy car. It’s got wheelcovers. It’s got a hidden exhaust pipe. If it weren’t for the mean-mugging front, you’d call it cute. Also, you won’t be calling it cheap. While this is the most-basic version of the four-door Yaris hatchback,

it still comes with bodycoloured door-handles and mirrors. It’s inexpensive, but the exterior doesn’t trumpet it.

Environment:

The inside is much the same – not costly, but not bargain basement either. Toyota has ﬁtted the LE which pretty much everything you need in an entry-level car. There are standard power door locks and windows, cruise control, and even a touchscreen interface. Especially for such a diminutive little car, it’s quite roomy in here. Toyota ditched the centremounted instrument cluster some time ago, and now has massaged the dash with a bit more soft-touch material and a few extra cubbies. It’s just what you need, including a little pocket for your smartphone right next to the USB plug in. For some reason, Toyota weighs passenger space more heavily than cargo area, so while the Yaris has usefully-sized rear seats, the trunk space is a little on the small side. Lift the lid and you’ll see the culprit – a space-saver spare tire crammed into a small area at an angle. The seats fold down, but there’s none of the cleverness of Honda’s magic seat system here.

Performance:

Under the hood, the Yaris has a 1.5L four-cylinder engine making a modest 106hp at 6000rpm and 103lb/ft of peak torque at 4000rpm. The standard transmission offering is still a five-speed manual, but the only available automatic is a four-speed. Sounds pretty low-tech, right? Well, it is, but there’s something of an advantage to that. While it’s not as quick as a dual-clutch or as miserly as a CVT, the Yaris’ fourpot-plus-four-speed combination is bone-reliable, even if slightly neglected. Then there’s the Yaris’ other major party trick: it weighs practically nothing. “Simplify and add lightness,” that was the old adage of Colin Chapman’s Lotus, and while Toyota might not have involved Lotus in the building of their efficient runabout, they certainly espoused those ideals. The Yaris weighs about as much as a first-generation Miata, and that makes it relatively fun to drive.

It bounces over imperfections in the pavement without too much fuss and hurtles around the corners with gusto. The four-speed transmission is tuned for efficiency, not quick-shifting or extracting power, and the smalldisplacement four-banger doesn’t have much power to give anyway. However, there’s so little inertial resistance from the Yaris’ curb-weight, that you can just pogo the car off down the road without difficulty. The driving position is slightly on the odd side. As the steering wheel tilts only, and doesn’t telescope, a longer-legged driver ends up sitting with his or her arms straight out, almost like an old Ferrari. Even so, it’s not uncomfortable, and when you get the Yaris out on the highway, you can note that the four-speed is actually quite high-geared. It’s relatively quiet in the cabin, and the chassis feels stiff. Behind the scenes, Toyota’s put a few extra welds into the structure of the Yaris, and while it’s not about to do battling around a racetrack, the move has firmed up the feel of the car. It feels very composed despite the small power output, and more than up to the task as a commuter.

Features:

As mentioned, there’s no real need to consider options other than which transmission to pick on the Yaris. While slightly costlier than other manufacturer’s base models, the little Toyota has pretty much everything you need: USB connectivity, a touchscreen, keyless entry, air-conditioning, nine air-bags – it’s all there. The SE model adds in a few luxuries like leatherwrapped control surfaces, sportier seats, and foglights. Nice, but not absolutely necessary. Fuel economy is very good, as you’d expect, with official 2015 five-cycle figures set at 7.8L/100kms in the city and 6.6L/100kms on the highway. There are larger cars that’ll do better at high speed, thanks to slipperier shapes, but the Yaris does well, hitting its numbers in real-world driving.

Green Light:

Nimble handling; fun-to-drive; quiet cabin; sensible packaging

Stop Sign:

Love it or leave it styling; low-tech powertrain; lack of cargo space

The Checkered Flag:

Fierce little scowl or not, it’s still just a car. Just what’s needed!

Seaweed shows promising signs of becoming a biofuel feedstock, thanks to a newly designed “hydrothermal” process that greatly increases the amount of bio-oil that can be extracted from it. As a fuel source that doesn’t take up farmland or use water that would otherwise be used to grow crops, kelp also grows extremely fast. Researchers at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology said their variation on a process known as hydrothermal liquefaction, which involves rapidly heating a slurry of kelp and water, then holding it briefly at a high temperature (585 C), results in 79

5 000 Initially designed for duty as an electric-power generator, a Japanese company realized its radically designed “4-in-1” piston combustion engine could be adapted for use in the auto sector. Namikoshi Electronics is pitching its “boxer”-style engine as a low-friction alternative to existing four-cylinder combustion engines. While it’s laid out in a similar way to a four-cylinder engine with horizontally opposed pistons, emerging technologies magazine, Gizmag says the four-in-one design departs from convention by way of a large, central unit surrounded by ball bearings, a central rod and a planetary gear. Namikoshi boasts the design has significant advantages over traditional engines in terms of internal friction, which reduces efficiency, and vibration, which affects noise and harshness.

At the opening of its Mercedes-Benz Product Engineering Center in Beijing, China, the luxury automaker and current dominant force in Formula One racing, unveiled a concept car powered not just by hydrogen, but by its paint as well. The Vision G-Code SUV sports “multi-voltaic” paint that harvests solar and wind energy. In a press statement, Mercedes said the paint acts like a giant solar cell “with excellent efficiency,” and can be charged electrostatically by the relative wind caused by driving, or by the natural wind when the vehicle is stationary. The G-Code also features “power on the move” suspension, which recovers energy from the motion of

the suspension to generate electricity.

Advice on Christmas cactus trimming GREEN SCENE Anne Marrison

Question: I have a couple of Christmas cacti that are really getting too big to manage. Would it be OK to cut them back after they bloom at Christmas? Neil Eyben, Langley Answer: It’s just fine to cut them back after they bloom at Christmas. This will give them ample time to make new growth and bloom next year. It doesn’t take long for a Christmas cactus to get massive and very heavy. Some people cut them back every year. The worst mistake people can make is to cut them back so late the new growth doesn’t

get time to mature and flower the next year. ! Question: Leaves have been falling on my front and back lawn. Do they make a good ground cover for the winter, or shall I remove the leaves? Florence, Burnaby Answer: Leaves aren’t very good as a mulch for lawns, because the grass they cover tends to die back. In this climate, grass continues with photosynthesis any time the temperature rises above freezing – and especially on days when it can see the sun. Grass is very hardy and it needs light and air even in winter if it is to be healthy and look its best. But there have been winters when I have let leaves stay on my lawn and the result is that the grass looks very sparse in early spring but bounces back nicely as sunlight gets

stronger and temperatures warmer. But unraked leaves can be a nuisance because in winter storms they blow everywhere. Then once they get wet, they become very hard to rake, especially when they get mixed up with blown twigs. Leaves do make an excellent ground cover around shrubs and for perennials in the garden. Spread on vegetable gardens, they prevent soil from compacting over the winter and are much less work in spring than winter rye and most other ground covers. Earthworms love to breed under the extra warmth that a leaf mulch gives them and their activties enrich the soil a great deal. Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions.

Morrey Auto Group

Grand Opening By: Michelle Hopkins

What does it take to thrive in the automotive industry for more than five decades? The Morrey Auto Group should know.The family-run company has built a stellar reputation for providing excellence in both customer service and satisfaction. “Over the years, we have sold many customers six and seven cars,” says Jason Morrey, General Manager, Morrey Infiniti of Burnaby.“Buying a car isn’t all about the price, although that’s important. Every dealership buys new vehicles for the same price; what is most important is the company’s integrity and history.” Since its inception, the company has sold more than 50,000 new and used cars. Another testament to the automotive company’s resounding success is the coveted awards it has received, including the Infiniti Award of Excellence, Nissan Award of Excellence, Mazda President’s Club and Grand Performer Award.

bar and lounge, which features comfortable leather seating, ﬂat screen TV and WiFi. “We offer personalized luxury,” adds Jason. From humble beginnings to trusted name: Syd Morrey, an icon in Vancouver’s automotive industry, founded his company more than ﬁve decades ago. Back in the late 1930s, Syd established his White Spot service station (later a Shell station) at Granville Street and 64th Ave. in Marpole, where all the businesses used the “White Spot” name in some form or another.

INFINITI

The Morrey Auto Group has come a long way since its Studebaker/Austin days. It is that that deep commitment to its customers, shepherding it through difficult economic times, that inspires loyalty, trust and confidence to this day. The Morrey family invites you to its Grand Opening Sales Event, December 5 to 7th, at its luxurious showroom located at 4456 Still Creek Drive, Burnaby. For more information about its Grand Opening specials or to book an appointment to test drive an Infiniti,

Call 604-678-1000 or visit www.morreyinﬁniti.com

By 1962, Syd’s sons, twins Lyle and Gary Morrey, were entrenched in the family business. It was also the same year that the company morphed into a dealership with a showroom, rather than a service centre selling vehicles.

As the dealership grew, the company was among the first operations of its type in the province to introduce apprenticeship systems for mechanics. In addition, the Morrey Auto Group has the distinction of being the only dealer in Canada who has operated a Nissan dealership for so long under its original ownership. By the 1980s, Lyle and Gary took over the family business after Syd retired.Today, a third generation of Morrey men – Gary’s Its expansive upscale showroom is filled sons Jarrett and Jason Morrey and Lyle’s with a selection of Infiniti models to choose from. While waiting, customers are sons Rick and Steve - carry on the Morrey legacy. invited to relax or work in its cappuccino

Now, there is another reason to celebrate its achievements. December marks the Grand Opening of their fourth dealership - Morrey Inﬁniti of Burnaby.The premier boutique auto dealer invites everyone to come and celebrate the opening with interest rates as low as 0.9 per cent or up to $4,000 in savings on select Inﬁniti vehicles.

Program builds self-esteem in aboriginal youth CLASS ACT

Cornelia Naylor

boriginal students in the Burnaby school district have a new place to grow their leadership skills, thanks to a partnership with Outward Bound Canada. Launched earlier this month, with leadership activities in Deer Lake Park and hikes around Burnaby Mountain, the Aboriginal Youth Leadership Program is designed to build self-confidence and self-esteem through shared group experiences in nature.

The program’s first 16 participants, all in grades 11 and 12, will earn three course credits toward graduation after a total of 11 sessions, including things like snowshoeing in the North Shore mountains and a possible overnight trip. Each of the district’s high schools is represented in the group, and the program will culminate in June with a student-led community celebration on National Aboriginal Day.

Student one of the brightest

University last month. Carolyn Chen earned the honour with an exceptional score on a college entrance test. The award was sponsored by the Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth (CTY), which puts on an annual talent search using college SAT, ACT or similar tests. Of 16,459 seventh and eighth grade participants, Chen was one of only 960 students to score high enough to be invited to an awards ceremony on the Johns Hopkins University campus. The Burnaby Mountain

student also qualified for CTY’s residential summer programs, online classes and family programs.

Applications being accepted

The Burnaby school district is now accepting applications to its brandnew gifted program starting at Alpha Secondary next fall. The so-called minischool will launch with two Grade 8 classes: Cohort B, for students with high potential, talent and ability; and cohort A, for highly able students whose

written ability and production is significantly below their intellectual ability. Gifted students currently in Grade 7 have until Jan. 16 to apply. For more information, visit the district’s advanced learning blog at http://blogs.sd41.bc.ca/ advancedlearning.

Erin Chambers came close to a triple-double in Simon Fraser University’s bounce-back win over Colorado Christian on Monday. The senior Clan forward scored a season-high 34 points and added 10 rebounds and eight assists in SFU’s 90-69 win over the Cougars in an NCAA non-conference women’s basketball game in Burnaby. The win came on the heels of the Clan’s first loss of the season – an 89-80 defeat to nationally ranked Cal Poly Ponoma on Sunday. Chambers also led the Clan in scoring against Cal Poly, tallying 28 points, while teammate Katie Lowen nailed seven three-pointers, including a trey with seven minutes left to play that pulled the home team to within a bucket before the visiting Broncos went on a 13-2 run to seal the victory. “The numbers are fun and great but it doesn’t really matter to me,”

PLAN AHEAD TO GET HOME SAFELY THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

We want everyone to enjoy a safe holiday season with family and friends. If your festivities involve alcohol, here are a few tips to help make sure everyone gets home safely.

• Ask yourself if it’s your turn to be the designated driver. Share the responsibility to help your friends and family get home safely.

• Plan a safe ride home before you head out. Arrange for a designated driver or use other options to get home safely — call a taxi or Operation Red Nose, take transit or call a sober friend.

• If you’re hosting a party, show your appreciation to designated drivers by serving a variety of non-alcoholic drinks. As a responsible host, make sure your guests have alternatives to get home safely or if necessary, let your guests stay overnight.
