Turtle hatchlings uprooted Coal spill cleanup disrupts beach habitat Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

For the second time in as many years, dozens of Western painted turtle hatchlings have been uprooted because of a 2014 coal spill into Silver Creek. In January 2014, a CN train derailed and spilled coal into the creek, which runs into Burnaby Lake, home to one of the largest known B.C. populations of the Western painted turtle. The first time the hatchlings had to be dug up was when heavy equipment to clean up the spill was deployed from their nesting grounds. “After the train derailment happened a year ago, we had to dig up this whole beach because they were coming in with their heavy equipment whether there were turtles here or not, just to suck up all the coal that they spilled,” said Deanna MacTavish, a biologist for the Coastal Painted Turtle Continued on page 9

Insights West conducted the poll from Oct. 5 to 10 and used live telephone interviews with 400 randomly selected people, asking them only if they were going to vote and who they were going to vote for. The poll’s margin of error is plus or minus 4.9 per cent, which means the results could sway by nearly five per cent, making the NDP’s two-point lead on the Tories statistically insignificant, not to mention the large

‘Youth need to feel represented’ Librarian has made it a mission to get students registered to vote Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

If more young voters don’t cast a ballot in Monday’s election than in years past, it won’t be Colleen Alstad’s fault. The Alpha Secondary librarian has helped at least 50 young people get one step closer to voting in their first election this year. In June, she tracked down all the Grade 12 students at her school who had turned 18 during the school year, took them down to the library and helped them register online with Elections Canada. “I wanted to make sure we got the Grade 12s who were graduating registered before they left us forever,” Alstad told the NOW. “They’re perfectly capable of registering themselves, but who knows. I thought if we facilitated that, it would be one less hurdle for them to face, and then they would be able to vote.” The Alpha librarian tracked down two more el-

igible student voters this year. But Grade 12 student Colby Fowlie had already set himself up, having registered at Brentwood Mall with his mom. “I figured I should,” he said. “Not a lot of people my age do vote.” For students who haven’t registered yet, though, he said helping them sign up online at school might encourage them to actually cast a ballot. “If they didn’t have to go find a place to register, it would make it easier,” Fowlie said. Alstad agrees. “To ease them in, that was the purpose for their first time,” she said. “I’m really really concerned about getting the youth vote out and how low the numbers have been lately, and I’m hoping to do even a little bit to change that.” Alstad started voting as soon as she turned of age about 40 years ago.With parents who often discussed politics and voted, she said

VOTE READY: Alpha Secondary School librarian Colleen Alstad, right, visits the Elections Canada website with Grade 12 student Colby Fowlie on a library computer. Alstad thinks all schools should help students who turn 18 get registered to vote. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR she never considered not voting to be an option. “You feel like you’re part of a democracy when you vote,” she said. “You feel like

you have a say.” This is the first time Alstad has systematically set out to help students register, but she’d like to keep the

idea going for future elections and see it expand to other schools. “It’s important to get the youthful energy and

the youth issues,” she said. “We’re turning into such a seniors country.Youth need to feel represented, and I don’t know that they do.”

Ready, set, vote: Here’s what you need to know Jeremy Deutsch

It’s that time to exercise your franchise. On Monday (Oct. 19), millions of Canadians will head to the polls for the federal election, and if you live in Burnaby, here’s some basics you’ll need to know. The polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on voting day. There are three ridings in

Burnaby including Burnaby North-Seymour, Burnaby South and NewWestminster-Burnaby. To see which riding you’re in, or for more information go to Elections Canada’s website elections.ca. In all, there are 19 candidates running in the three ridings representing seven different parties. The confirmed candidates in Burnaby North-Seymour

include Carol Baird Ellan (NDP),Terry Beech (Liberal), Helen Hee Soon Chang (Independent), Brent Jantzen (Communist Party), Mike Little (Conservative), Lynne Quarmby (Green), Brian Sproule (MarxistLeninist) and Chris Taylor (Libertarian). According to Elections Canada, there are 73,614 voters in the riding. The confirmed candidates in Burnaby South are

Liz Jaluague (Libertarian), Adam Pankratz (Liberal), Grace Seear (Conservative), Kennedy Stewart (NDP) andWyattTessari (Green). There are 74,764 electors in the riding. In NewWestminsterBurnaby, the confirmed candidates include Rex Brocki (Libertarian), Chloe Ellis (Conservative), Peter Julian (NDP), Sasha Ramnarine (Liberal), Kyle Routledge

(Green) and Joseph Theriault (Marxist-Leninist). There are 78,575 electors on the voters list. All told, 10,704 electors in Burnaby North-Seymour, 9,376 in Burnaby South and 11,591 in NewWestminsterBurnaby cast their ballot in advance polls. You can vote if you are a Canadian citizen, are at least 18 years old on election day and can prove your identity

and address. If you plan to vote, you’ll need to prove your identity and address by either showing one piece of government issued ID with your name and address (like your driver’s licence). Or you can show two pieces of ID, but both must have your name and one must have your address, such as a utility bill and health care card.

‘Nineteen per cent undecided … is a really big number’ Continued from page 1 hardest to earn your vote.” Baird Ellan pushed back against aggregators, likeToronto Star’s Signal, using national data for local riding projections. “Those aren’t polls,” she said. “They look at aggregate polls, and then they use a formula to project (riding results).They are inaccurate when it comes down to a specific riding, particularly in North Burnaby.” While the poll has put

Little in second, he was still cautious. “Nineteen per cent undecided at this point is a really big number, but with five days left we don’t really have to wait too long to get to, really, the only poll that matters,” he said, referring to Election Day. “With 19 per cent undecided, I really don’t know how useful that data is.” Little said he’s doing everything to get out the Conservative vote, and he’s not

too concerned with polls at this point. Quarmby, who faces the most damage from the latest numbers, didn’t put much faith in the results, which she says “in no way” reflect the support she’s getting while door-knocking. “I know that number is either an anomaly or it’s reflecting the insecurity people are feeling because of the big push for strategic voting,” she said. “Seven per cent would suggest I had

gone out and robbed a bank or something. I know I have much more support than what’s reflected in that number.” Like virtually all Green candidates across Canada, the biggest barrier Quarmby faces is convincing people that a vote for her will not split the left and benefit the Tories. “The polls themselves are affecting the election, they’re not just taking the temperature.They’re actually having

an effect, and that’s an important thing to be acknowledged,” she added. The second poll, released by Mainstreet close to the NOW’s press time, showed the following: for respondents identifying as certain to vote, Conservative candidate Little was in the lead at 32 per cent, Beech (Liberal) and Baird Ellan (NDP) were tied for second with 24 per cent, Quarmby (Green) was pulling in eight per cent, and 12 per cent were certain they

were undecided. The poll was conducted using interactive voice response technology, meaning there was no live person interviewing the respondents. There were 716 respondents contacted, on landlines and cellphones, between Oct. 9 and 10, and the margin of error is 3.65 per cent.

Voter unhappy about mayor’s endorsement Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

A recent round of letters from Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan endorsing NDP candidate Carol Baird Ellan has one local voter raising her eyebrows. Trinity Bissett, a resident in the Burnaby North-Seymour riding, received a letter in the mail from Derek Corrigan encouraging her to vote for Baird Ellan. “I thought it odd, and I was surprised he would use his influence to sway the vote. I’ve never been lobbied by another politician to vote federally,” she said. “I think it’s inappropriate to use his influence that way. He should let people stand on their own and vote the way they want. I understand some people can support other people, but he shouldn’t be using his politi-

cal office to do that. … He signed it as ‘mayor of Burnaby.’ I was just surprised by that. I was taken aback. He shouldn’t use his political station to push his favourite candidate into the limelight.” Baird Ellan’s office sent the letters to voters they identified that may be swayed by Corrigan’s endorsement, and the letters were authorized by Baird Ellan’s official agent. “The BCA (Burnaby Citizens’ Association) is traditionally supportive of the NDP and vice versa, and basically he and I agreed I would be the candidate in the riding,” Baird Ellan said. “He endorsed my campaign from the outset. … He recruited me and was happy to have me in the riding.” Baird Ellan said the letter was an endorsement like any other in an election

Burnaby Hospital Foundation grant helps the homeless Every Thursday morning about 120 vulnerable people in Burnaby turn up at an Edmonds church for a nutritious snack and a warm welcome.

Wanda Mulholland, community development coordinator for the task force, which runs the Outreach Resource Centre in Southside Community Church.

Thanks to a grant from the Burnaby Hospital Foundation under its new Community Health and Wellness Grant Program, the Burnaby Task Force on Homelessness is able to ensure they get access to healthy food and fellowship.

Many are homeless, at-risk of losing housing, or struggling with poverty. Along with food, with the help of the task force, they receive access to clothing, social services and medical care, including seasonal flu shots.

“The people that come are poor and are in need of services, and are very much in need of being in a non-judgemental place,” explains

Meanwhile, Burnaby Hospital Foundation grant funds will also go toward fare saver bus passes, which the task force gives to clients, helping to ensure they can get to doctors’ appointments. “Because Burnaby is so large geographically, there are challenges for people to access the services they need,” Mulholland explains. “Access to transit is a very clear way for people to exit from homelessness.”

best way to meet this final initiative, which creates barriers for people searching for work and housing. “The majority of people we work with are Burnaby folks that have lived here for most of their life,” Mulholland says. “Many people were raised here; they have raised their children here. They call Burnaby home.” The task force is comprised of representatives from government agencies, the health authority, community groups, businesses – including Burnaby Board of Trade, churches and concerned citizens, who have come together to identify and address issues of homelessness in Burnaby.

“This is all about the partnerships, and to have support from the Burnaby Hospital Foundation, in the form of the grant, is very important for our work, for our ability to assist the people that we see regularly,” Mulholland says, adding, “The The task force also intends partnerships are the only way we survive.” to use the grant funds to For more information about Burnaby help provide places for Hospital Foundation visit homeless individuals to www.bhfoundation.ca or call take showers.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

What strategic voters need to know

So you want to vote strategically? Let’s make one thing clear.We’re not fans of voting for someone you don’t really like to keep someone you really don’t like out of office, meanwhile forgoing a vote for the person you actually like. But with calls for strategic voting in tight races, including Burnaby North-Seymour, we’re going to give you a few words of warning. Make sure you know what you’re doing.

In order to vote strategically, you need to determine the candidates’ standings. To do that, you need to look at the right polls, and there’s not a whole lot of ridingspecific data available. Our story on page 1 features the latest from Insights West, commissioned by the Dogwood Initiative, one of the few polls that actually uses riding-specific data. But another Burnaby North-Seymour poll released shortly before our press time contradicts its

findings. Polls are incredibly problematic because a flaw in the methodology can skew results, or, even worse, crooked pollsters can “cook” the poll to get the results their clients are looking for. Here’s what to watch for when assessing polls: Look at the sample size. Is it a large enough randomized sample? Ideally, something like 1,000 people would be best, but 400 isn’t bad either.The smaller the sample

size, the larger the margin of error.What’s the margin of error, you say? It reflects how much the poll results could be off by. So if the margin of error is higher than the lead the first place party has, as is the case in Burnaby North-Seymour, the results are statistically insignificant. Look for undecided voters.Were they included in the poll? If a pollster has a sample size of, say, 400, but removes a large number of undecided voters from the

final tally, that sample size has shrunk, which will affect the results. If possible, find out the order of questions used. Were there suggestive or damaging questions leading up to the final query? That can affect how people answer. Also, what methodology was used? Anything using self-selecting respondents or robocalls is suspect. Ideally, you want live calls with a randomized sample. If you’re looking at sites

like ThreeHundredEight. com and Signal.TheStar. com, remember these more closely reflect national trends than on-the-ground reality for local ridings. We’ve said this before and we’ll say it again:Take all polls with a giant grain of salt. Remember the last provincial election? Pollsters were wildly incorrect. Basing your vote on what the polls are showing is a risky game. Proceed with caution.

MY VIEW ANDREW SIMPSON

Minority rule the best result After attending the “all” candidates debate for the Burnaby North-Seymour riding at SFU and observing the Green, Liberal and NDP candidates undermining each other (while the Conservative candidate was notably absent), I would like to put this question to all candidates who are currently running as “progressive” alternatives to the Harper Conservatives: Are the specific details of your party’s agenda worth risking four more years of degradation of our society? I ask this because I am very concerned about how the values and priorities of the majority of Canadians (including myself) are not in any way represented (or even respected) by the federal Conservative party, which in fact only represents a minority of those who vote, yet has total legislative power in Parliament (and the Senate) due to our flawed system. Of particular interest to myself, as well as many others, was the fact that all three local candidates indicated that they (and their party) supported moving our current system of governance to some form of proportional representation. Furthermore, they were all clearly in favour of reducing the power and influence of big oil companies in decisions regarding energy infrastructure, shifting to a “green” renewable energy economy, and respecting the wishes of local citizens and First Nations.The means

by which they propose to achieve these goals vary, but their overall position on these topics appeared very similar to me. So this leaves me with one fundamental question:What will it take for the various “progressive” political elements in this country to cast aside ideological semantics and take the more pragmatic approach that the political “right wing” of Canadian politics did nearly a decade ago – to unite under one banner? My fear is that it will take another four years of Harper’s Conservative government (elected to power by less than 40 per cent of the popular vote again) before the “progressive” elements in our political landscape are willing to temporarily put aside their ideals and confront head-on the unfortunate reality that our system is broken. This is why, in the meantime, I intend to do my part by voting as strategically as possible (and encouraging everyone I know to do the same) in order to remove the federal Conservatives from power before we travel any farther down the rabbit hole into Harperland. At this point in the game, I’m convinced that the best representation we can hope for is a minority NDP or Liberal government that is committed to working with the other parties to pass legislation that is actually supported by the majority of voting Canadians.Wouldn’t that be a refreshing change?

Trade deal too secret Dear Editor A few questions about the secretly negotiated Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement. If countries like Japan are currently buying B.C. raw resources for $3.64 billion a year, why do we need TPP to lower that country’s trade barriers? I mean, if Japan needs/wants our resources, doesn’t the first principle of capitalism – supply and demand – dictate it will continue to buy those resources tariffs notwithstanding? The quid pro quo, so we’re told, is that Japan (and the other 12 countries involved) will lower or eliminate import tariffs on a broad range of products if we do the same, thus generating more bilateral trade. But, why does that mean we end up paying more for a product (e.g., pharmaceuticals) while at the same time losing jobs to foreign industries (e.g. auto sector) whose production costs are less? And when it comes to protecting Canada’s supply management system (e.g., poultry and dairy) isn’t that really about food security? I mean, as long as we protect our food production against price under-cutting by other nations, aren’t we in reality safeguarding our ability to feed ourselves? Shouldn’t we be expanding supply management rather than trading it away piecemeal? And, really why all the secrecy surrounding TPP negotiations? I mean, after all, trade is trade isn’t it? Or is the TPP something more than that? Something secret, maybe? Bill Brassington Sr., Burnaby

No easy answers for Hastings Street: study Marv Walling The study shows that an excess of parking may exist. Living in the area I’ve done a study of my own, I agree at certain times there may be an excess of parking available. I’ve also observed at other times parking availability is completely inadequate. From this I have concluded that having enough parking when needed is more important than eliminating excess when not needed.

Liberals are gaining ground: Keith Baldrey Linda in BC I am really excited about the thought of our new PM being so talented as Justin Trudeau. Not often can we have a part time drama teacher, snowboarding instructor and water rafting teacher all in one package. The experience of those occupations alone should make him our PM for crying out loud. Let’s give the middle income taxpayers a break - we can worry about paying that money back in a few years or so. No big deal. Now the middle class is yet to be defined but whatever.

OCTOBER 1–25

Dear Editor As Burnaby residents, and taxpayers, and always wanting to keep up with our city’s civic issues, my wife and I were very disappointed to read in the Wednesday, Sept. 30 publication of Burnaby NOW an article about council’s procrastination in dealing with negotiations with our city’s firefighters. A four-year delay for a fair wage contract while, of course, council enjoys the fruits of their pay increases. As a “pro-labour” civic party, has council lost its understanding of just what our firefighters mean to our community? Not only on the job, always there in an emergency; but also off, with their full-time commitment to the Burnaby Firefighters’ Charitable Society. With an arbitration that will most likely give these firefighters the same contract that has already been bargained for by some 30plus other British Columbia locals, council’s stubbornness with this issue will only cost we taxpayers up to $80,000 spent wastefully on an unnecessary dispute mechanism, only to reach a foregone conclusion. This perpetration by council is a needless frustration for all. Council, please show respect for these men and women who are always there on the doorstep in events of disaster for all the citizens of Burnaby. Richard Tingle, Burnaby

Lettersnow Activists’ ideas are wrong

Dear Editor: In response to the Oct. 13 article in the Burnaby NOW, Anti-pipeline activists backing NDP in Burnaby NorthSeymour, I would like to point out some inaccuracies. Sven Biggs’ statement “The party that forms cabinet will decide if the Kinder Morgan pipeline goes ahead” is not true. In a minority government, and all the polls say we will have a minority government next week, the parties that are willing to work together will get things done. In Pearson’s minority government, that government got things done. They were able to give Canadians universal health care, the Canada Pension Plan, Canada Student Loans, the 40-hour work week, two weeks’ vacation time, a new minimum wage, and have

ment and stop Kinder Morgan? The next Prime Minister will be Thomas Mulcair or Justin Trudeau. The Liberals and the NDP will form a coalition and there will be an accord made with the Green MPs to support their minority government if they bring in some form of proportional representation, repeal Bill C-51 and go to the Paris Climate talk in November with a serious plan to reduce climate change. No one knows who will win the Burnaby North-Seymour riding. There is no clear winner for this riding. Even Ben West says “the Burnaby riding is particularly tricky.” It could go Green, Liberal, or NDP. Vote for the person who best represents your interests in Burnaby North-Seymour, not for a cabinet position in a majority government. Kathy Hartman, Burnaby

been credited with instituting the world’s first race-free immigration system. Pearson’s cabinet did not do this alone. They did this with Diefenbaker’s Conservatives and a small group of Douglas’ NDP’ers all working together. Under the next minority government, there should be a small group of Greens pushing the Liberals and the NDP to keep their promises. Neither the Liberals nor the NDP have said they will stop Kinder Morgan from bringing in its pipeline, expanding the tank farm and increasing the tanker traffic into the Burrard Inlet. Ben West from Tanker Free B.C. and Sven Biggs, from Forest Ethics know this. They know the minority government has to listen to everyone, not just those in cabinet. So why are they trying to scare us into thinking only one party can form govern-

Newsnow Volunteers dig up beach to save turtle hatchlings Continued from page 1 Project. “It was quite an emergency situation.” Those hatchlings were reared up at a North Vancouver facility and released back into the lake in the spring. MacTavish’s group was back at the beach this week, digging up a new generation of tiny turtles. This time they’re prepar-

ing for the beach to be excavated. All the sand is scheduled to be removed in either mid-November or early January and replaced with sand free of contamination. “Before the heavy machinery rolls in, we’re digging up the entire beach with a bunch of volunteers to make sure we get all the hatchlings out,” MacTavish said.

After one day of work Wednesday, volunteers had unearthed 35 nickel-sized baby turtles. This batch of hatchlings and any others dug up on a second day of work will be reared up at the same North Vancouver facility or at the Greater Vancouver Zoo and returned to the lake in the spring. One upside to disturbing

the nesting ground twice in two years, according to MacTavish, is that it has given her group a chance to measure how successful the beach is – to determine how many eggs each female is laying and how many hatchlings survive versus dud eggs. While Western painted turtles sometimes try to nest in different places around

Burnaby Lake Park, she said, the beach is the only place biologists have found surviving hatchlings. “This beach is definitely where a vast majority of the turtles actually come every year to nest,” she said. COMMENT ON THIS STORY

Sgt. Dwayne Beckerleg Occupation TRAFFIC POLICE OFFICER Why is he in the news? We hear it over and over again, using your phone while driving is dangerous, and yet countless people continue to do it. In Burnaby alone, more than 500 tickets were issued for using an electronic device behind the wheel in only the first three weeks of September, according to the RCMP. Sgt. Dwayne Beckerleg is relatively new to the Burnaby RCMP’s traffic section, but he’s spent almost a decade working the streets as a general duty officer. During that time, he’s come across many, many drivers violating traffic laws be it speeding or talking on their cellphones – he’s also seen the tragic outcomes of

How effective do you think enforcement blitzes are? Well, it catches people off guard, that’s for sure, and it makes them realize they could be caught anywhere doing things they shouldn’t be. Even if they think they’ve got it hidden, their behaviour to someone standing on the side of the road is quite obvious. Explain what you mean by “behaviour.” Their behaviour is not focusing on what’s going on around them, it’s focusing on what’s in their hand or what’s in the car with them. You’ll often see them miss lights or be late moving or glance up from their lap, or even blatantly talking on the phone. When spotting, how close can you get to distracted drivers before

these violations. Earlier this month, he and a group of officers set up an enforcement blitz near Metrotown. A group of Cell Watch volunteers were stationed with signs urging drivers to put away their phones, while Beckerleg waited, in plain clothes, about a block away looking for drivers who ignored the warning. If caught by Beckerleg, the drivers were faced with a hefty $167 fine. The NOW caught up with Beckerleg to pick his brain about what he sees out on the roads, and what he thinks is needed to convince drivers to leave their phones alone. – Cayley Dobie

WATCHFUL EYE Burnaby RCMP Sgt. Dwayne Becklerleg has seen and heard a lot during his 10-plus years on the road. He says distracted drivers can be a danger to themselves and others around them. PHOTO CAYLEY DOBIE

they notice you? Sometimes I walk right up to them, knock on the window and say, ‘Please see that officer right there.’ That’s very common.You can walk right up to them, and the other drivers who are aware of their surroundings are all wondering what you’re doing.

ing at faster speeds these days, and we have a lot of new drivers on the road that can’t afford to be distracted from their primary task of driving.They’re driving a large vehicle that, if they don’t handle it properly, can cause a lot of devastation, to themselves and others, so you need to put 100 per cent of your concentration on the road.

Did you come across distracted drivers as a general duty officer? All the time, and the devastation that it causes as well.These people that aren’t paying attention and go off the road. Hopefully, if an accident happens it only involves them and doesn’t involve third parties.

Waiting for drivers: Burnaby RCMP officers conduct a distracted driving enforcement blitz. PHOTO CAYLEY DOBIE

What are some of the excuses you’ve heard from drivers you’ve caught? ‘My phone rang, I couldn’t not answer it; I only picked it up to check the time,’ that’s a common one. Or, ‘I didn’t answer it, I only wanted to see who’s calling,’ that sort of stuff, or

Why do you think people can’t put their phones down? In my opinion, technology is moving faster than we are to deal with it in cars. I have no doubt that in a few years we will be able to voice activate – and in some of the newer cars you can now – answer, send a text,

‘I put it on hold and am just looking for a place to pull over,’ but it’s still in their hand.

you won’t have to do that with hands on, but people are so tied to their cellphones right now that they can’t live without them and they don’t have the technology in the vehicle yet so they don’t have to pick up. What are some ways police are trying to keep up with changing technology? We’re trying to get people to pay more attention to the road.The cars are mov-

Do you ever get frustrated doing this job? Frustrated? No. Not frustrated just can’t believe that people are still doing this. When I started this job, nobody had cellphones and now everybody’s got one, and cars have changed a lot, but people still aren’t paying attention to their driving. Do you think it’s just taking time for people to realize it’s dangerous? Like drinking and driving. Yes, totally. It used to be talking on the cellphone, which a lot of people did. When it first started, again,

the law hadn’t caught up to it. People were talking (on their phones) and there were accidents, but then it went on to texting, which takes you more away from your concentration than talking on the cellphone, but still, people need to concentrate on their driving, not on other things in the vehicle or in their hands. Considering that, is it time for more education rather than enforcement? Totally. Several other jurisdictions, including Alberta, have gone to distracted driving, which is basically anything that distracts you – from a coffee to a burger to anything, a dog in your lap. … Technology and things are moving far too fast, you’re going to have to put a general thing in law that says anything that distracts a driver (is against the law), because you need to be paying attention to the road.

appears as Bob in the comedy that follows Dr. Cecilia Monahan’s support group for single and divorced women. “Her ensemble of neurotic patients will have you rolling in the aisles with laughter when a ‘volunteer’ role-player becomes the in-

nocent victim of their notinconsiderable wrath,” a press release explains. It’s on Friday to Sunday and again Oct. 21 to 24. Tickets are $22 regular, $18 for students and seniors. Call 604-927-6555. The Evergreen is at 1205 Pinetree Way.

Who needs a legacy plan? You do - if you want to ensure you have provided ﬁnancially for your loved ones, and that your legacy will be passed on as you choose. According to LawPro, a recent study showed that 56% of Canadian adults do not have a signed Will, without which bitter family disputes and legal battles between siblings and their spouses occur regularly, incurring thousands of dollars in legal bills. Make sure you are making the right choices. Talk to industry professionals to ensure that you are taking advantage of tax reduction opportunities and risk management strategies. Main guest speaker, Christine Van Cauwenberghe, brings a wealth of knowledge in Canadian tax law and estate planning. Her presentation is an in-depth look into structuring of estates and tax planning for Canadians, including blended families. 900 - 5945 Kathleen Avenue Burnaby, BC V5H 4J7 - 604.431.0117 Insurance products and services distributed through I.G.

Let s chat!

LIVELY CITY

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

Art lovers, you have one more chance to check out the latest exhibition at the Burnaby Arts Council Gallery. Deer Lake Gallery is hosting Water’s Edge, a group exhibition by John Haig, Peter Gutmanis and Roderick Brown, until Oct. 17. “The works record and become monuments to the aftershock of a once booming and now exhausted marine industry, found in aestheticized nets, turned-over boats, coiled-up ropes, boats haunting horizon lines, sleepily anchored or washed ashore,” says a write-up about the exhibition. After that exhibition closes, there’s a week until the next show – Urban Rambles, featuring the works of Luciana Alvarez and Joy Hanser, which opens Oct. 24. Intrigued? The gallery is at 6584 Deer Lake Ave., and it’s open Tuesday to Saturday from noon to 4 p.m., with free admission. Check out www.burnaby artscouncil.org for the details of all the shows. KIDS’ NIGHTS AT GALLERY Is there a young artist in your house? The Burnaby Art Gallery is offering a series of Kidz Club Art Nights, giving kids a chance to socialize, meet new people, experiment with art materials and have fun while learning about art and artists in a new way. The nights come with “light bites,” music and supervision, and they’re aimed at

The Burnaby Inter-Faith Network is inviting the public to tour the local Ismaili Centre next week in an effort to “build bridges of understanding and communication.” “We do this to kind of break down those barriers and the stereotypes people build of each other,” network co-chair Don Dyck told the NOW. The ad-hoc group, which includes members from a variety of faiths and backgrounds, advocacy groups and settlement services, was established in 2010 by the Burnaby Intercultural Planning Table. Part of its mandate has been to collaborate with faith-based centres and organize tours. Dyck, a pastor at the Brentwood Park Alliance Church on Delta Avenue, toured the Ismaili Centre shortly after 9/11. “I felt compelled to learn more about Islam and what

it meant to be a Muslim in this time, and to learn from somebody who was a Muslim, as opposed to from somebody who might have an axe to grind with them,” he said. The experience, Dyck noted, was eye-opening.

who we are.” Dyck added most faiths share a common thread of compassion. “Most faith communities are already doing a lot that goes unnoticed in many ways, in terms of looking after homeless, newcomers to Canada, in terms of just taking care of social issues,” he told the NOW. “Our purpose is to say, where do we find that common ground among our faiths where we can stand together and make our communities a better place?” The Oct. 20 event will be the seventh tour the network has organized. Attendance in the past has usually been between 30 and 40 people, according to Dyck, who would like to see a bigger turnout this time around. The tour runs from 5:30 to 7 p.m., with a light dinner included. Admission is free, but registration is required. Call 604-294-7421 or email burnabyinterfaith@ gmail.com.

Where do we ﬁnd that common ground? “It gave me a deeper understanding of their reverence for God. I thought we could learn a lot about that from them; the realization that a lot of our roots are similar. It gave me a deeper understanding that there is some radicalized groups of course that don’t really represent the whole, just like in my own faith; that the ones that make the news are the radicalized people who are actually an embarrassment to us and don’t represent

The Bra Lady Is coming to Size You Up

Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra. Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in. Due to the overwhelming response to the previous clinic, Chapman is coming to BURNABY, TUESDAY OCTOBER 27 to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly. “Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.” Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running? If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

1-800-254-3938 by October 26

She doesn’t come into town very often so she advises booking as soon as possible. Although Chapman enjoys coming to this area, she is on the look-out for someone to train for or buy the business.

Savoury soup makes a meal Chef Dez

ON COOKING editorial@burnabynow.com

Soup is great because just one pot is a blank canvas waiting for you to unleash your culinary imagination. One of my all-time favourites is Mulligatawny soup. The name for this currybased soup is derived from the words “milagu” (meaning pepper) and “thanni” (meaning water). It is also a great recipe for using up any leftover cooked chicken from the night before. When using lentils, salt is typically added at the end of the cooking time as it could slow down the cooking of the lentils, and I have followed that rule here. However, keep in mind that there is typically salt in chicken broth, so leaving the salt to the end probably doesn’t make too much difference in this instance. MULLIGATAWNY SOUP 1/4 cup butter 1 medium onion, diced small 2 celery stalks, diced small 1 medium carrot, diced small 6 garlic cloves, minced 2 tbsp flour 2 tsp curry powder 1 tsp garam masala 1/4 tsp dried thyme 4 cups chicken broth/stock 1/4 cup dried green lentils 2 bay leaves 1 apple, peeled and diced 2 cooked chicken breasts, cubed (preferably grilled)

1 – 400ml can of coconut milk 1.5 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper Add butter to a pot over medium heat. Once the butter foams, add the onion, celery, carrot, and garlic. Stir to combine and cook for two to three minutes, stirring occasionally until soft. Add the flour, curry powder, garam masala, and thyme and cook for two to three more minutes, stirring frequently. Slowly add the chicken broth and stir to combine while adding to prevent lumps. Add the lentils and bay leaves. Bring to a boil and then simmer over low heat uncovered for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the apple, chicken, and coconut milk. Continue to simmer for another 10 to 15 minutes to ensure that the lentils are cooked and to let the flavours come together. Season with the salt and pepper, discard the bay leaves, and serve immediately. Makes approximately eight cups.

Aromatic plants and herbs are safe to compost Anne Marrison GREEN SCENE

editorial@burnabynow.com

Question: Should I put smoke bush leaves in my compost? When I prune the branches there’s quite a smell of resin, and I’ve read you shouldn’t compost leaves with a high oil content. I dry leaves on trays in my basement to give me a supply of carbon to compost through the winter. – Donna Crosby, Coquitlam Answer: The leaves of many aromatic plants contain essential oils in tiny amounts, including herbs such as mint, thyme, etc. But I have never come across any suggestion aromatic plants should not

Compost should have as wide a variety of components as possible.

be used in compost. I’ve composted herb and aromatic prunings for years as part of a general mix for composting and had no discernable problems. Since you can spread

your leaves out on trays, it sounds as if you don’t have a large quantity of leaves anyway. I’d say go ahead and compost them. The only caution I might make is that a well-run compost should have as wide a variety of components as possible.These could be: leaves, grass-clippings, soil, weeds, manure and clipped prunings.The idea is that no ingredient should dominate. It’s not impossible that compost with a huge quantity of aromatic leaves and not much of anything else could cause problems for the worms, slugs and friendly bacteria that help decomposition. After all, in past centuries, aromatic leaves were used to deter ants, fleas, etc. from gaining access to a house. There certainly are leaves that can slow down composting by being reluctant to disintegrate (beech and some oaks, for instance). Black walnut leaves contain juglone, which is toxic to many plants. Many gardeners won’t compost them – although others say black walnut leaves are fine if you compost them by themselves for a year before adding them to a general compost. Question: How do I preserve hawthorn branches so the berries stay on them and remain attractive until Christmas?

I have had two suggestions so far: cut them and store in a cool dry place in a burlap sack or spray them with varnish. Do you have any suggestions? – David Patching, Ladner Answer: The traditional way of keeping berries on decorative boughs is to mix one part of glycerine to two parts of boiling water.Then hammer the end of each

stem until it is crushed and put the stems in a tall vase for a month to six weeks. My vote would be for six weeks. It’s best if the room is dark and cool. If the liquid level starts going down, add one part of glycerine to three parts water. An anti-dessicant spray is also supposed to keep the leaves and berries from drying out.

Question: I have five hostas in sixinch pots. Can I keep them in pots over the winter until I know where to put them? I can stand my pots in some tall, empty containers to give them some protection from the elements.Will that help? – Irene Brown, Ladner Answer: Yes, you can keep your hostas in pots over the win-

ter. Hosta plants are extremely hardy. The tall, empty containers would help protect them, especially if you surrounded the inner pots with an insulating layer of leaves inside the tall containers.

How to get the best care from a walk-in clinic

could have tried calling your family doctor’s office for an appointment. When you just can’t get in to see your regular doctor, a walk-in clinic is an appropriate option. There may be additional consequences to convenience. I had two patients who had not had their blood pressure and cholesterol levels appropriately checked for over two years because they went to walkin clinics for prescription renewals. As a family doctor, when I write prescriptions for ongoing medications, I include the quantity and number of renewals consistent with

address whatever concerns they are presenting. If you’d like to ensure that a physician has given thorough consideration in coming up with a diagnosis and treatment, ask the following three questions. “Doctor, what else could it be?” “What’s the worst thing it could be?” “What would you advise your own family member?” Dr. DavidicusWong is a family physician at the PrimeCare Medical Centre in Burnaby.

that you should give to a physician treating you for the first time. If you don’t know if you might be due for any screening tests, such as diabetes or cancer screening, ask, “Given my age, past history and medical history, what tests should I be doing?” I personally don’t find that addressing screening tests takes a great deal of time, and I consider the same question with each patient I see every day before I step into the exam room to

For a number of reasons, walk-in clinics have become a necessary part of medical care. These no appointment clinics can be helpful if you have an urgent problem that doesn’t warrant a visit to the emergency department. Examples include acute bacterial infections, such as bladder infections, ear infections or tonsillitis. Of course, if your family doctor is available, you should call the office first. Sometimes it seems more convenient to pop into a walk-in clinic for a prescription for the medications you regularly take. However, you may need to wait several hours to be seen when you

essential information to treat you safely. Before anything is prescribed to you, the doctor needs to know the names of all other medications you may be taking as well as any known drug allergies.The treating physician also needs to know about any significant past medical history including any ongoing health conditions, such as asthma, heart disease, high blood pressure or diabetes. You could provide all this information on a single page

For some walk-in clinics – where most visits are for the episodic care of single problems – this is a significant change in practice.They are now expected to provide the same standard of care as a traditional family practice. If you do go to a walk-in clinic – because you can’t get in to see your family doctor or if you don’t have a family doctor, how can you ensure you get the primary care you need? First, make sure that your treating physician has the

how frequently they need to be reassessed. For example, when blood pressure is stable, it should be measured at least annually.With some medications, periodic blood tests are needed to ensure that they do not adversely affect the kidneys or liver. If you don’t have a family doctor in town, the walk-in clinic may be the only place you can get your regular medical care. If this is the case, how can you ensure that you get all the care you need, including the screening tests appropriate to your age, gender, personal and family history? If you get your care from a number of different family physicians, you might be fragmenting your care. Both you and your physicians may be operating at a disadvantage, not seeing the complete picture of your health over time. Earlier this year the College of Physicians and Surgeons of B.C. issued professional standards and guidelines for walk-in, urgent care and multi-physician clinics.These standards help address the disparity in the care you might receive at a clinic compared to a traditional family practice. The college stipulates that all patient medical records must identify your primary health-care provider (or family physician), if there is one, whether he or she is at the clinic or at another location. Furthermore, with your consent, a copy or summary of your visit (including copies of any tests) must be sent to your family physician. The college also stipulates that if patients do not have a regular family physician, the same walk-in, urgent care or multi-physician clinic must be responsible for offering the longitudinal medical care of a family physician, including appropriate periodic health examinations.

No further: Moscrop Panthers, in blue, try to stop a Valleyview Viking from gaining more yards during the AA varsity game last week at Burnaby Lake. For more photos from the game, see www.burnabynow.com. PHOTO CAYLEY DOBIE

It was a tough week for Moscrop’s AA varsity football team. The boys in blue fell 28-9 to visiting Valleyview Secondary in the Burnaby team’s final exhibition game before regular season play begins on Friday (today). The Kamloops team, who were in town taking a break from regular season play for the exhibition game at Burnaby Lake, has had a mixed season so far.They won

both of their exhibition games in September only to fall 12-0 to Salmon Arm in their season opener on Oct. 2. Moscrop, meanwhile, has been down a similar road as their Kamloops counterparts. The Panthers lost their first exhibition game 24-0 against Surrey high school Earl Marriott but bounced back the following week to knock down Nanaimo 20-8. This week, Moscrop will be looking to find their rhythm as they kick off regular season play.

The Panthers are on the road for their first southern AA conference game taking on Langley, a team that won three out of its four exhibition games and began its season beating Holy Cross 20-13 last week. The showdown between Moscrop and Langley gets underway at 7 p.m. in Langley. STM CLIMBS TO NO. 2 With a tie last week, St.Thomas More’s varsity football team fell shy of the No. 1 spot in the AAA eastern division.

The local boys kicked off their season in September with a 28-14 win over W.J. Mouat and followed that with a 4314 win over Centennial on Oct. 2. Last week, they tied Mt. Boucherie 14-14. STM is now ranked No. 2, one point behind division leaders Kelowna Secondary, who’ve won all three of their regular season games. The Knights face off against last place Lord Tweedsmuir at Burnaby Lake on Friday (today). Kick-off is at 7:30 p.m.
