GOOD DEEDS

Keian’s dream lives on

By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

IN THE SPIRIT OF GIVING:

This is Keian Blundell’s dream.

The young boy wanted to collect as many toys as possible for kids at BC Children’s Hospital who won’t make it home for the season.

Four Christmas’s later, his legacy continues.

On Wednesday, Keian’s family was at the Burnaby RCMP detachment to collect a bounty of toys - 312 in all - which were raised by members of the force for children at the hospital.

“To know there are kids that are in there, they’re going through a difficult time, and anything that can bring a smile to their face is definitely worth it,” said RCMP Const. Sam Bowen, who led the efforts at the Burnaby detachment.

While there were smiles all around as the family and detachment members mingled

Burnaby RCMP members load a box full of toys into vans Wednesday.

The toys, destined for B.C. Children’s Hospital, are part of a toy drive in honour of Keian Blundell, a young boy who passed away from cancer two years ago.

Tax hike reflects staff raises, inflation Burnaby’s provisional budget includes a 2.95 per cent property tax increase – but that may change

By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

As Burnaby city council attempts to tackle the issue of spiraling property assessments, the municipality continues to work on the budget for 2016.

The 2016 provisional budget is proposing a 2.95 per cent residential proper-

ty tax increase, with another two per cent and 1.5 per cent increase for the waterworks utility and sanitary sewer fund respectively.

However, Mayor Derek Corrigan noted the tax increase is not set in stone, and he’s hoping there will be some room to get it lower when the budget is finally approved in the spring.

“I would expect a little bit of work done on it, but you’re certainly seeing somewhere in that 2.5 to three-per cent range is probably where all of us (municipalities) are going to land,” he told the NOW. Corrigan also suggested the rate increase would be acceptable for residents given that it reflects items like

inflation and salary increases to city employees.

He also noted part of the budget discussion will include factoring in the dramatic increases expected to property assessments for next year.

More than 7,000 properties in Burnaby are expecting to see property increases in the 15 to 25 per cent

range and beyond in 2016.

The city is calling on the provincial government to freeze assessments at least year’s levels.

The budget document noted the city is facing cost increases that surpass the projected annual rate of inflation, with a rise on costs for salaries, operational and inflationary increases and

provisions for new services.

The document, which is 130 pages, also includes details of where the city spends the money.

The operating budget is pegged at $436 million, with the biggest percentage of the total going toward the parks and rec department at Continued on page 4

Newsnow CHRISTMAS BUREAU

Delivering good deeds Heather MacKay is one of the bureau helpers who helps make Christmas brighter in Burnaby

By Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

Heather MacKay sees some of the best parts of the Burnaby Christmas Bureau, but she also sees the most heart-breaking.

The Burnaby resident volunteers to deliver gifts from toy drives to the bureau’s toy room on Kingsway, and she also delivers hampers to people in need.

“You feel like, ‘Wow, people can be really generous. They can put together an event and put together a whole lot of stuff that will make kids happy,” she says of the toy pickups. “Delivering the ham-

pers is harder.You have to come up against the people who really have needs.

They have very little, but they are extremely grateful.

Sometimes they are embarrassed. They can’t believe how generous people can be, and they are also embarrassed because they have the need. Sometimes it just makes me cry, because these people are falling through the cracks.”

The bureau helps supply low-income families with toys and food and gives isolated seniors holiday hampers.

MacKay got involved as a volunteer driver last year.

She feels she can at least

“I feel better that I’m doing something, and it also keeps me aware that this sort of thing is out

there. We all pretend that everyone is happy and wonderful, but for me, it brings me face-to-face with the need out there, and it reminds me that I

have to do my part, whether it’s becoming politically involved or bugging governments or that sort of thing,” she said.

CRIME IN THE CITY

RCMP believe he’s hit 350 cars in the city

By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

It usually happens in the dead of night.

A man drives up to a parked car on a quiet street, gets out and smashes the driver-side window. Sometimes he’ll grab something, other times he doesn’t take anything at all.

He repeats the cycle over and over again, staying busy by targeting, in some cases, nearly 50 cars in one evening.

This is the MO of the man Burnaby RCMP are convinced is behind a rash of theft-from-vehicle incidents plaguing the city in the last couple months.

In all, police believe the suspect is behind 350 incidents, including 47 this past weekend on three separate Burnaby streets.

On Tuesday, local Mounties stepped up their efforts to nab the crook, by releasing more details about the crimes along with video surveillance and still images of the suspect in hopes of generating tips from the public.

“It’s very disturbing this person has not been caught yet,” said RCMP Cpl. Daniela Panesar. “That’s why we’re working on it and appealing to the public, and hopefully someone will be able to help us identify this individual.”

She noted the acts appear to be ran-

Do you recognize him?: Police are looking for the driver of the car, shown in this surveillance video with its lights on, who is suspected of being behind a rash of theftfrom vehicle break-ins and vandalism across the city. PHOTO SUBMITTED

dom, but mostly they occur to vehicles parked on residential streets in the early morning hours, between 3 and 7 a.m.

And the suspect is picking neighbourhoods throughout the city. Panesar said investigators don’t have anyone in mind, but Burnaby RCMP’s prolific offender team has been tasked with finding the person responsible.

In the last couple months, the NOW has received numerous calls and emails from residents and victims upset about the car break-ins on their street, in both south and north Burnaby.

While RCMP have issued warnings to residents to keep valuables out of their cars, they gave no indication all the incidents were linked until this week.

Panesar said police didn’t want to jeopardize the investigation by appealing to the public.

Besides being annoying for the victims who have to go through the process of filing a claim and repairing their damaged vehicles, the spree is getting costly for ICBC. The RCMP noted a typical claim costs the insurance company about $1,000.

With 350 reported incidents and counting, the figure could top $350,000.

Along with the video and pictures, police also offered a description of the suspect, who is described as a tall man with a slim build.

His vehicle is described as a late ’90s, light coloured four-door sedan with a large dent on the passenger-side door.

Anyone who can identify the suspect or who has information about the crimes is asked to call Burnaby RMCP at 604294-7922.

News now

RCMP toy drive continues in memory of Keian Continued from page 1 and looked through the toys Wednesday, the day is clearly bittersweet for both.

Keian passed away two years ago on Jan. 1 2014, after battling cancer.

Just a few months before, he was made an honorary member of Troop 15 and presented with a custommade red serge.

Bowen, who has a daughter himself, said he was touched by Keian’s story and wanted to help and make sure the family knows the young boy is not forgotten.

“It’s something I think is a great cause,” he said.

Keian was just five years old when he launched his

fist toy drive in 2012 because he was able to make it home for Christmas and felt bad for the other children who had to spend their time in the hospital over the holidays.

It’s something I think is a great cause In his first year, Keian delivered 16 toys to the hospital.

This year, the family will drop off more than 800 toys, bringing the total over the years to more than

2,800.

They’re numbers that make the Blundell family proud of what Keian started and thrilled the local RCMP want to keep his legacy going.

“It means so much,” said his dad Ryan, who added a toy is usually the first thing a child looks to for comfort.

The toys were eventually loaded into vans and dropped off at the hospital.

Both the family and Burnaby RCMP say they’ll be back at it again next year collecting toys for kids at the hospital.

It’s just how Keian would have wanted it.

Giving back: Burnaby RCMP Const. Sam Bowen hands over one of the more than 300 toys raised by members of the detachment to Joren Blundell. Joren’s brother Keian passed away of cancer in 2014, but started a toy drive before he died that has collected more than 2,800 for sick kids at B.C. Children’s hospital.

DFO wants action on Stoney Creek rehab Jeremy Deutsch

An environmental mishap during the repair of a culvert in Burnaby has forced a federal ministry to step in.

Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) has sent a letter under the Fisheries Act, directing the City of Burnaby to come up with a plan to remedy the damage to a tributary of Stoney Creek resulting from a

That was the day a construction mishap led to a series of events that eventually forced a large amount of sediment into the creek and put the fish habitat in the waterway at risk.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Devil is in the Senate – er – details As political problems go, the Senate is one that has long confounded our elected leaders.

Making it go away for good or substantially reforming it – the “real change” favoured by most Canadians – requires the consent of the provinces and promises to inspire so much nasty constitutional wrangling that politicians have been loath to open that Pandora’s Box.

What’s left has been to make smaller tinkering changes such as those recently introduced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

On the surface, the idea of a non-partisan, merit-based process to guide Senate appointments sounds good. But the devil will be in the details.

For instance, it’ll still be the prime minister who will choose the majority of the advisory board

who will put forward a list of potential senators. And those suggestions are still non-binding.

We’re told that “ordinary Canadians” will also be welcome to apply. But don’t hold your breath waiting for too many Bob and Doug McKenzies to take their seats in the Red Chamber.

The idea of people who can put party politics aside for the good of the coun-

But don’t hold your breath waiting for too many Bob and Doug McKenzies to take their seats in the Red Chamber

try is certainly a noble one.

Sadly, that’s also what disgraced Senator Mike Duffy claimed his own role was to have been – and we’ve

seen how that worked out.

The problem with the Senate isn’t just who is appointed. It’s who they become while there, partic-

ularly in the absence of meaningful rules about what their role on the public dime is supposed to be.

Tightening those and making them explicit is also an important part of reforming the Senate and making it accountable to the public.

COMMENT ON THIS AT

Burnabynow.com

MY VIEW JORDAN BATEMAN

Good, bad and ugly in budget Audiences love a good remake, but we shouldn’t embrace The Good,The Bad, and the Ugly – otherwise known as the B.C. finance committee’s pre-budget recommendations.

The bipartisan legislative committee was asked by Finance Minister Michael de Jong to travel the province and make recommendations for the 2016/17 B.C. budget. Unfortunately, the committee fell into the usual trap of recommending billions in new spending requests, put in by dozens of special interest groups.

Those presenters asked for an astonishing $18.6 billion in new spending – equivalent to 40 per cent of the annual provincial budget and nearly 70 times the projected surplus.

There was one sliver of good news for taxpayers in the committee’s report: they took the Canadian Taxpayers Federation’s advice and recommended a review of the Medical Services Premium (MSP) tax, including “threshold levels, comparisons to other jurisdictions, costs of administering the program, and alternatives.”

MSP has been likened to an insurance premium – but it is clearly not. Insurance premiums change based on risk factors and usage. But with MSP, healthy people pay the same as unhealthy people. It is not an insurance premium; it’s a tax.

And it’s a tax that has been rising at an alarming rate.

The B.C. Liberals have hiked the MSP tax 39 per

cent since 2010. Families now spend $1,800 a year on that single tax, regardless of income levels. A family making $30,001 a year pays the same as a multimillionaire. It doesn’t make sense.

Or, as the committee put it: “The CTF pointed out that increasing rates have proven onerous for some families and seniors, and for businesses who pay through payroll contributions.” It’s time to freeze and review the MSP tax and see if there are better, fairer ways of paying for health care.

Unfortunately, none of the other 61 recommendations included any call to find efficiencies or cost savings within government.

Instead, we got a dizzying array of “increased investments.”Translation: more spending, more taxes, more debt.That’s the bad.

The ugliest recommendation was to “explore” a tax on drinks with sugar in them.This is a terrible idea that Denmark has already abandoned, and, as this CTF report shows, would do little besides make life more expensive and create a massive bureaucracy.

Hopefully de Jong ignores the committee’s bad and ugly ideas, holds the line on spending and reviews the MSP tax. Otherwise he will end up demanding another fistful of dollars from British Columbians to pay for all of the committee’s recommendations.

Jordan Bateman is B.C. director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

Leaders need to be more like Bill Bennett

MP sponsors petition to keep Trump out

Dear Editor Re: He changed the face of B.C., Burnaby NOW, Opinion, Dec. 9.

Today’s political leaders would do well to take lessons from the ambition and responsible foresight of Bill Bennett.

With only a little political effort, the incalculably positive derivative benefits to Greater Vancouver, and to B.C. and Canada generally, resulting from the province hosting Expo 86 and the building of Metro Vancouver’s SkyTrain rapid transit lines could be replicated in B.C.’s second largest city (by population), Surrey.

The industrial park-wasteland of northwest Surrey – where the city borders New Westminster and the Fraser river – would be ideal as a World Exposition site. Afterwards, this area could be suitably redeveloped as mixed-use highrises and parkland: emulating Vancouver’s downtown business district, Yaletown and Coal Harbour areas, thereby acting to reduce the region’s housing shortage and, hopefully, attracting corporate head office clients, along with high-technology design and research and development firms, Bill Bennett would never have accepted the “lowest common denominator,” as cheapas-possible, at-roadway-level rapid transit system that is currently proposed for much of Surrey. The ambitious foresight criteria so often associated with Bill Bennett would demand a city-wide rapid transit system for Surrey that will be perceived internationally as a world beater – and certainly no worse than the 30-year-old, but still excellent, above-theroadway SkyTrain….

Ridiculous? Impossible? Insurmountable?

Maybe that’s what some would have thought in the 1980s. Bill Bennett, and other leaders of his time, clearly didn’t – and we are all beneficiaries today as a result. Praises for Bill Bennett need to be matched by actions.

Thank you for helping Girl Guides Dear Editor On behalf of the Burnaby Glens District, Girl Guides of Canada, I want to thank the Burnaby NOW and Jennifer Moreau for helping us to let people know about the Nov. 28 Holly Tea and Fair. The numerous inclusions on the events calendar contributed to the excellent attendance and consequent success.

We are very happy that the proceeds will help us to offset the cost of taking city girls to Camp Olave on the Sunshine Coast, where they can experience the forest and ocean environments. We don’t want to leave any girl behind because her family cannot afford to send her.

The Holly Tea and Fair is not only a fundraiser; it is part of the history of South Burnaby.

When it began in 1953, it was called the Guide Bazaar. Ever since that time it has been an important community event where neighbours and past and current Guiding members gather in friendship to reminisce and to celebrate a movement that enriches the lives of girls and women. In preparing for the Holly Tea, girls learn planning and crafting skills. During the event, they assist by manning stations, doing set-up and clean-up, serving guests and handling money. They enjoy these responsibilities and gain confidence.

Thank you for being a part of a good news story for today’s youth.

Margaret Stevens, Holly Tea coordinator

Stacy Wallwork MP’s are supposed to represent the views of their constituents. While it is up the American people if they choose to be represented by a racist sexist arrogant ***hole, I hope my government will keep myself and my fellow Canadians safely away from Donald Trump.

Also, I have personally met both Kennedy Stewart and David Black and anyone who knows them personally would know there is not ulterior motive here. Just honorable people, trying to do the right thing. To not stand up to hate speech is to silently agree that it is ok. It’s not right, it’s not Canadian and I hope that they are successful to keep this hatred contained inside the American border, because that’s really the only power we have in this situation.

City now ‘Major restoration effort’ ahead

Continued from page 5 way to meeting the requirements.

James Lota, an assistant engineering director with the City of Burnaby, noted the municipality has met the first deadline to put in a site management plan, while consultants have been hired to work on the long-term restoration plan within the next 90 days.

“We had already engaged consultants to do exactly what DFO was asking us to do. It’s now just a

notice from DFO to make sure we are doing it, and it was already in progress,” he said, adding the day after the washout, the city had already assessed the damage and the repairs.

Lota said the city is also hopeful it can complete the mitigation work by the end of summer 2016.

Local streamkeepers are pleased the DFO is involved.

“It’s certainly nice to see them (DFO) going out and looking at the issues,” said

Alan James, a member of the Stoney Creek Environment Committee.

He said the city has been open with the streamkeepers and has met with the group several times since the incident, but he also suggested there is a lot to learn from the incident.

“It’s going to be a major restoration effort,” he said.

James said his group is waiting to see what the city proposes and hopes to provide comment when the draft plan is done.

According to a city report, during the rehabilitation of a culvert on a Stoney Creek tributary, an A.C. Paving employee who was maintaining a filter screen on a pump at the construction site got his boot sucked into the inlet hose of the pump.

The city had undertaken the project in the first place after crews and Stoney Creek streamkeeper members noticed the beginning of some creek bank erosion.

City now Petition calls for ban on Trump entering Canada Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

A NewWestminster man is spearheading an online petition to ban Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump from Canada, and Burnaby MP Kennedy Stewart has agreed to sponsor the petition in Parliament.

NewWest resident David Black, president of MoveUP (formerly known as COPE 378), wants to keep Trump out of Canada because he called for a ban on Muslims entering the U.S. “I think Mr.Trump’s re-

marks are abhorrent.They are dangerous, and I was appalled by them,” Stewart told the Burnaby NOW. “I think this petition is a good way to express, first of all, these aren’t really the views Canadians hold, and to express a displeasure for someone who’s running to be one of the most powerful leaders in the world.”

The Burnaby NOW could not reach Black by press time, but his petition states it is illegal in Canada to incite hatred against any identifiable group and that Canada is a “proudly multicultural nation.”

So far the petition has more than 900 signatures, more than enough to garner an official written response from government. Stewart said it was his responsibility as an MP to sponsor the petition.

“Mr. Black works in my riding and I know him well, and he wanted to put this forward,” Stewart said.

“I think it’s serious.We’ve had various parliamentary leaders, including our leader Thomas Mulcair, say that Mr.Trump should not be allowed to come to Canada.

City now No Trump Continued from page 9 Essentially this borders on hate crime, which is illegal in Canada.”

Stewart is taking the petition seriously.

“It’s not a joke if you’re a Muslim, it’s not a joke if you’re a Mexican, and who knows who’s next,” he said.

Stewart is the MP who pushed government to accept electronic petitions.

The government’s e-petition site went live on Dec. 4, and a couple from Burnaby seeking a ban on shock collars for dogs was the first to file. Until this month, MPs in the House of Commons would only accept written, paper petitions with a minimum of 25 signatures.

Stewart will table the Trump petition in the House of Commons in April, and by June, the government should have a written response. Stewart is hoping more people sign up to use online e-petitions.

Local man killed A Burnaby man killed in a Kamloops workplace accident has been identified.

On Wednesday, the B.C. Coroners Service confirmed the identity of a male who died following an industrial accident in Kamloops on Nov. 25 as Sean Alexander Donetz, 45, of Burnaby.

A press release said Donetz was performing cleanup work at his worksite in Kamloops when he fell

from a scissor-lift, a distance of about three metres to the concrete below.

Donetz was transported first to Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops and later moved to Kelowna General Hospital, where he died of his injuries on Dec. 1.

The B.C. Coroners Service and WorkSafe B.C. continue to investigate the death, while the family has asked for privacy.

Mary Gates Occupation CHAIR – CPAC DISTRICT #4 Why is she in the news?

She’s been a volunteer for the City of Burnaby for nearly two decades, and even after so many years, Mary Gates still believes volunteering is one of the best ways to give back to the city she’s lived in for almost her entire life.

Gates is chair of the District 4 community policing committee (CPAC), a subcommittee of the city’s public safety committee that oversees the southwest quadrant of the city.

Twelve people sit on the District 4 committee, many of them security personnel from businesses, schools and community facilities in the area. There is also one owner of an apartment building and four or five residents from the community.

While 12 is considered a healthy number for such a committee, the CPAC still has its struggles.

One of the biggest challenges for the District

4 committee is getting proper representation from all groups within the community – including students – and because the committee meets at 2 p.m., the logistics just don’t work, Gates said.

“That means it’s difficult for us to involve some of the high school kids,” she added. “We would like to have representation on our committee to get their perspective, to get the youth perspective involved in our community.”

She and her fellow committee members had drafted a proposal for the school district two years ago, but then the strike happened, and since then, the committee has decided to hold off on the idea.

The NOW spoke with Gates earlier this year about her role on the committee and why she thinks volunteer committees like CPAC are so important.

– Cayley Dobie

COMMUNITY MINDED Mary Gates was born and raised in Burnaby. She began volunteering for different city initiatives in the late ’90s and hasn’t looked back since. Today she is chair of the District 4 community policing advisory committee, which addresses public safety concerns in the southwest quadrant of the city. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

loitering around there and not moving on.

How did you get involved with the community policing advisory committee?

I became more aware of community policing and procedure and what was going on over there after my involvement with Burnaby’s citizen Crime Watch and that was in 1998 or so. My husband and I had seen the ad and (thought) maybe we should look into this so there begins my beginning into community policing.

What types of concerns are discussed at your meetings?

It’s really anything that sort of personally affects your feeling secure and happy in your own home. It is seeing people wandering about that you question why they’re there; hearing in the paper or reading that there have been theft from autos, theft of autos, breakand-enters, and those kinds of concerns. At one time, a concern was the traffic around the Royal Oak SkyTrain station, say when there seemed to be people

Do you think the SkyTrain line impacts your community?

It can be a concern.We don’t personally get the concerns delivered at the CPAC committee, but we get the statistics monthly that we will look at to see that there’s been a rise (in crimes) or successes that (the RCMP has) had.

What successes has your CPAC had?

One of the successes, from a former member on the committee, was KINA, the Kingsway (Imperial Neighbourhood Association) group, because they were constantly reporting on all the behaviour that was upsetting in the area and bringing that to the committee.

That can be a long process though, right?

A lot of them are longer. It’s not usually an immediate fix, because I think we have the police out watching what’s happening all the time, and they do have to prioritize where their resources and time are going depending on the

crime, but I’ve noticed they’re very interested in the bicycle patrols going back on, because they were successful in lowering what was happening underneath the SkyTrain.

Does the RCMP take complaints seriously?

If people take the time to report what their concerns are, they will hear back.

What is your impression of the RCMP’s handling of residents’ concerns?

I have found that they do listen.They do have a positive group of officers that we are working with, and we have to understand

that they have to prioritize too and can’t maybe always get right on to our immediate concerns, but because of the way the RCMP in Burnaby are structured, there are neighbourhood police officers who will follow up on the concerns. Especially if a citizen will put it in writing and say, ‘I am really concerned because I have observed this,’ and they’ve got specifics, so that they’re not just talking about what they think might be happening, but if they give them real time, real incidents, it will be looked at.

Why do you think committees like CPAC are important?

For being a conduit of information and concerns from the community, because at the public safety committee, there is the elected officials at the table plus concerned citizens plus the RMCP, so that is a very good source of getting solutions to problems because the concerns are raised, they’re minuted, and then they are addressed.

If someone has a concern about safety/crime, what should they do?

There are citizen complaint forms that are real things to pick up at any of the community police offices, including the main detachment.They can write (the complaint) down and turn it in, and it is addressed and somebody will get back to them.They are bringing their concerns to the right people.

Why is important for residents to get involved in these types of committees?

I don’t think there’s any better investment with your time and energy than keeping your community safe and protecting your

investment in a house.

What is your committee’s No. 1 goal?

Just maintaining public awareness for safety. …

Public safety has always been one of the major concerns; that you feel safe in your community. …What is it (that) the community is really most concerned about? It’s traffic safety, like are our streets safe? … All the things you would see when you walk around the community going, ‘what are they thinking?’

A salute to heritage The City of Burnaby has now officially recognized Patterson House as a heritage home.

Helen Lee, the City of Burnaby’s heritage planner, presented a plaque for the historic Edwardian Burnaby home on Thursday, Dec. 10.

“Patterson House is unique. It is the only home in Edmonds to receive Burnaby’s heritage

distinction plaque this year,” said Lee. The Patterson home is 105 years old and belonged to early pioneers Dugald and Frances Patterson.The two first settled on a plot of land that’s now part of Central Park.

Patterson SkyTrain station is named after the family.

Patterson House is at

7016 18th Ave., in the Edmonds area. Current home owners David Myles and Luci Baja bought the home in the 1980s and used it as a guest house during Expo ’86.

The Pattersons’ greatgrandson, Raymond Reitsma, was also at the plaque installation Thursday.

Christmas Cookies These sweet treats are a hit for Christmas Mexican wedding cookies take the cake for the Radbourne family

Mexican Wedding Cookies 1 cup butter, softened One-half cup powdered sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla Two-and-a-quarter cups sifted flour One-quarter teaspoon salt Three-quarters cup chopped walnuts Powdered sugar (for rolling baked cookies in).

Cream together butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy; stir in vanilla.

Whisk together flour and

salt, add gradually to butter mixture; stir in chopped nuts.

Chill dough if it seems too soft.

Form dough into oneand-a-quarter inch balls and place onto parchmentlined or ungreased baking sheet.

Bake at 400 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or just until the cookies start to turn light golden-brown.

Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.

While cookies are still warm (but not hot), remove them from baking sheets and roll a few at a time in powdered sugar until evenly coated.

Cool completely on wire racks.

Cookies may (optionally) be rolled in powdered sugar a second time once cooled to room temperature.

Emily Wager has been baking up a storm raising money to buy her neighbour a new scooter.

Check out her story at www.tinyurl.com/Emilys Cookies – and see below for the recipe she’s sharing this season.

Her gingersnap recipe has been the most-requested cookie.

Gingersnaps 2 cups flour 2 tsps baking soda 1 tsp cinnamon ½ tsp ginger 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp cloves 2/3 cup shortening 1 cup sugar 1 cup egg ¼ cup molasses Roll dough into one-inch balls and roll in sugar. Bake 10 to12 minutes at 350 degrees F.

Helping: Emily Wager has been baking up a storm to raise money to buy her neighbour a scooter.

She makes several kinds of cookies, but gingersnaps have been the most requested.

CooKies Sure bets: They kept the volunteers at the Folk Fest fuelled – and they are a hit for cookie sharing parties. The oatmeal walnut chocolate chip cookies are worth working for.

PHOTO THINKSTOCK

Try a folk fest favourite Jennifer Kirkey and Eric Urquhart bake these little beauties for their annual Christmas Cookies sharing party. But the cookies were first made for volunteers at the annual Folk Fest in Vancouver.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Walnut Cookies (also called Folk Fest Cookies) Recipe makes 48 cookies.

Preheat oven to 375 F and have your toasted nuts ready before you begin.

3/4 to 7/8 cups unsalted butter, softened 1 cup brown sugar 1 cup white sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 eggs, lightly beaten 2 cups flour 3/4 teaspoons baking soda 1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar (if you do not have cream of tartar then use 1 teaspoon each of baking powder and soda.)

2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (not instant) 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips

2 cups chopped pecans that have been roasted and cooled.

Sift the baking soda and cream of tartar into the flour.

Cream the butter with the sugars in a mixer.

Add the vanilla, milk and eggs.

Add the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder to the creamed mixture and beat to combine.

By hand, stir in the oats, chips and nuts.The dough is sticky, and this is a lot of stuff to put into the dough, so the best way is to use your clean hands.

Drop the dough 1 1/2” apart on greased cookie sheets.

I use a small ice cream scoop or use two tablespoons.

I use parchment paper instead of greased sheets.

Press with a fork.

Bake for 13 to 15 minutes until brown at edges and set on top.

Turn halfway through the baking.

Let sit one minute, and

then remove to cooling racks.

The original recipe is from the Frog Commissary Restaurant in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and used walnuts instead of pecans.

Eric bought the cookbook in the late 1970s, and this is still one of his favourite cookies.

If you use hazelnuts and milk chocolate chips, you get a Nutella cookie.

This recipe used the organic old-fashioned oats from Famous Foods.

The chocolate chips were 51 per cent cocoa chocolate chips from Costco.They are fair trade and made with real vanilla.

Many of my friends call these Folk Fest cookies as they are my granola bar. I make many of them to feed my fellow volunteers, and friends, at the Vancouver Folk Fest.These have been dinner for hundreds of people over the last three decades.

Greetings & Gratitude at the Holidays

Stay safe during the holidays Between Christmas Eve and Boxing Day in B.C., on average, one person is killed and 320 people are injured in 1,000 crashes.

That’s why police will continue to be out in full force at CounterAttack roadchecks across the province during the holidays.

Tis the season for some good cheer but make sure you plan ahead for a safe ride home if your celebrations involve alcohol.

Here are a few tips from ICBC to help make sure everyone gets home safely this holiday season: & /A?; ? !?$6 #G86 I9>6 <6$9#6 =9F I6?8 9FH, Choose a designated driver before going out or set money aside for transit or a taxi.

7 Series

Your journey starts here.

The Future is Here

BY DAVID CHAO

By David Chao BMW has introduced an all-new 7 Series – the flagship of the brand.

The 7 Series embodies everything BMW stands for and features a great deal of innovations never seen before.

The new 7 Series will be the pinnacle of what BMW can do in terms of technology, luxury and comfort. It will compete against the best from Mercedes-Benz, Audi and Lexus.

This article highlights what you can expect from the new 7 Series which is just arriving in showrooms now.

Design

From first glance, it’s apparent that the exterior styling is more evolutionary than revolutionary. But, upon a more careful examination you will notice some creative differences.

At the front, the kidney grille is larger than before and now boasts active shutters to improve aerodynamics.

The headlights extend from the grille and wrap around the bumper. BMW’s Lazerlight is the next generation of headlight technology and improves visibility and light distribution by a considerable margin.

Down the side, stylish chrome trim runs from the air breather along the button of the doors. This compliments the trim around the windows, which BMW is keen to point out is made from a single piece of aluminum.

There is more chrome at the rear. The taillights are full LED and the exhaust outlets are integrated into the rear bumper.

Once again, the cabin of the new 7 Series in not a radical departure from before, but there is a noticeable step up in quality and it feels like a truly world-class premium product.

Despite the new 7 Series coming with even more amenities, it is also lighter than its predecessor. BMW used the

technology it learned when developing its cars and has combined the carbon fiber technology with aluminum and steel to create a structure that is both light and strong.

and beautifully designed trims, you immediately feel special in the new BMW flagship car.

BMW designed the cabin as a place for comfort and well-being, but it also sets the pace in terms of innovations.

The car is filled with innovation to make the environment “amazing.”

Performance

The new 7 Series is available with extensively updated V8 and inline-6 variants of BMW’s latest generation of power units. All engines will come standard with a likewise further developed 8-speed Steptronic transmission. BMW’s xDrive intelligent all-wheel drive system is an available option and operates more efficiently than ever.

BMW’s eDrive technology, first introduced in the i cars, is an addition to the model range. The plug-in hybrid model will be powered by a 4-cylinder engine and an electric motor, which together generates a total system output of 326 hp.

BMW reports combined fuel consumption of 2.1L/100km.

Moreover, the system enables all-electric driving up to speeds of 120 km/h and up to a range of 40 km.

BMW claims the new 7 Series will be the best 7 Series to drive yet. It will have all-around adaptive air suspension, which allows you to raise and lower the ride height. The 7 Series will also have other adaptive systems, such as active roll control and active steering. The car can even go as far as to learn your driving habits and predict corners, intersections and road conditions and set itself up accordingly.

This is a huge step towards autonomous driving.

And for those who don’t like to park in tight spaces, the 7 Series has a self parking system. Straight out of a Hollywood movie, with the press of a button on the display key the car will use sensors to safely pull in and out of your garage or parking space – even if you are outside the vehicle.

Starting and stopping the engine is also done using the display key.

Environment

The luxurious quality of the BMW 7 Series welcomes you before you even step inside. To give an exclusive feel, the new Welcome Light Carpet elegantly illuminates the lateral area of the car with white light patterns.

With high quality materials, craftsmanship

As expected, the new 7 Series gets BMW’s very latest iDrive infotainment system. As before, you can control it using the swivel-wheel next to the gear selector, but now the central display is also a touchscreen.

A never seen feature in the past, BMW will offer gesture control – which allows you to operate the system via simple hand movements. A 3D sensor in the dash recognizes preset gestures to control a number of functions, including stereo volume and accepting or rejecting phone calls.

If that’s not enough, the intelligent voice command now recognizes everyday phrasing. There have never been so many options to operate a car.

Obviously, the 7 Series is the most luxurious car in BMW’s range, but if the already posh base trim is not satisfactory, you can upgraded to the Executive Lounge package.

This adds plusher rear seats and the front passenger seat can slide forward presenting an electric-folding foot rest.

The rear centre console opens to reveal an airplane-style folding table.

Tech-savvy passengers will appreciate the personal tablet that can be removed from the centre console. Not only does it perform all the usual tasks of any modern tablet, but from this you can control the infotainment system, climate control, or engage the massaging seats.

To further accentuate the luxurious atmosphere, the Sky Lounge Panorama glass roof has side-mounted LED modules which can mimic a starry sky. The pattern matches to the 6 different colours of the ambient light.

To extend the luxury to all your senses, the Ambient Air package features 8 different fragrances to choose from… wow.

Thumbs Up

The all-new 7 Series has an incredible amount of technology and comfort. It will set new standards.

Thumbs Down

With this amount of new tech, it may take some time for people to appreciate all the features. We hope the reliability won’t be affected by the new innovations.

The Bottom Line

The all-new BMW 7 Series will make everything else look and feel outdated.

Christmas

CooKies

Orange raisin cookies are a family recipe When our assistant editor, Julie MacLellan, is looking for a treat, she knows better than to try baking.

Fortunately, her husband, Steve Makuch, is at the kitchen helm – and for his holiday treats, he turns to his family’s Rachkewich Reunion Cookbook.

For this holiday season, he offers up a recipe from his aunt’s kitchen. For a sweet and tangy holiday treat, why not try it out?

Here’s the recipe for Chocha Elsie’s Orange Raisin Cookies.

Orange Raisin Cookies 1 cup butter or margarine 1 1/2 cups brown sugar 2 tsp baking powder 4 Tbsp finely grated orange rind 1 cup rolled oats 1 cup unsweetend coconut 2 cups flour 2 eggs

Fresh flavour: Orange zest adds zing to raisin cookies in this recipe from a family cookbook.

PHOTO THINKSTOCK

1/2 tsp salt 1 cup raisins.

In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until creamy.

Beat in eggs and orange rind.

In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking powder and salt.

Add to first mixture.

Stir in raisins, oats and

coconut.

Form into one-inch balls and place two inches apart on greased baking sheets.

Flatten lightly with floured fork.

Bake in 375 F oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden.

Let cool on racks.

Makes about four dozen cookies.

URINARY HEALTH IN CATS AND DOGS FOR A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

OUR MISSION: To protect and enhance the quality of life for domestic, farm and wild animals in BC My name is MIA Animal ID 382425

My name is MEOW Animal ID 387161

And I am a 6 Year 2 Month 1 Week old, Female, Neapolitan Mastiff, Mixed Breed.

And I am a 9 Year 1 Week old, Spayed Female, Domestic Short Hair, Mixed Breed.

Mia is an incredibly special girl who arrived in our care as result of a cruelty investigation. She is quite fearful of new people and will require a guardian with experience with fearful behaviour. Mia does very well meeting new people if introductions are slow and she is offered delicious treats to build a positive experience. Once Mia knows she is an absolute sweetheart, she adores being pet and pampered and loves her people. Even at six she is very playful and often gets quite silly and play bounces at you. She loves when you play bounce back and then she does her crazy zoomies with a big grin on her face! Mia is best suited to an adult only home in house oppose to apartment living. Mia is an absolute staff favourite as she loves her routine and is very well behaved and listens great. Come give our big girl a chance!

‘Meow’ is a big boned gal with plenty of LOVE to give. Sadly, she witnessed her previous owners leave in a U-Haul that did not include her. She was taken care of by a friend for approximately the past three weeks. She would like her next home to be free of other pets and with adults only.

She enjoys petting/grooming sessions on her terms and does not like to be picked up. On occasion, Meow will carry on a conversation and/or be playful. She is used to living indoors and is good about using a scratching post. She will bond quickly with her care taker but may be a little reserved around strangers. This sweet senior is deserving of a retirement home, could that be you!

My name is JEWEL Animal ID 384487

My name is CLOVER Animal ID 382737

And I am a 2 Year 1 Month 1 Week old, Female, Pit Bull Terrier, Mixed Breed

And I am a 6 Month old, Spayed Female, Florida White, Mixed Breed.

Jewel is a precious girl

Clover has spent a lot of time with humans and typically greets us in the morning to see what we are up to and to receive a craisin treat! She welcomes pets too and will hop on to an offered lap. Through slow introductions, she is getting used to being held. She’s an adventure seeker and enjoys exploring all new areas of space. She’s is currently working on her litter box training and can often be found atop a cardboard box to see what the taller folk are up too. Clover is a foster candidate as she can’t be spayed for another 2 months.

with a timid approach. She is the kind of girl that makes you work for her love. But once

As is the case with any other organ system in pets, good health of the urinary system is an essential component for overall good health. The urinary system is composed of the kidneys, urinary bladder, urethra, and ureters.

There are many factors that may affect the health of the urinary system including but not limited to, the pets daily water intake, urine excretion, genetics, age, exercise routines and diet. When it comes to diet, there is not one standard recommendation for good urinary health as requirements vary from species to species and from breed to breed. For example, Dalmatians would have different dietary requirements compared to other dogs, as they are predisposed to a specific type of urinary stone, called urates. However, not every Dalmatian will have this problem.

For a healthy pet, it is adequate to provide the best overall care possible while monitoring for signs of urinary problems. The frequency of urination, comfort or difficulty during urination, drinking habits (amount and frequency), and discomfort during urination should all be monitored.

As pet owners, such monitoring is easy to perform, as we tend to be around our dogs when they urinate during their walks and we scoop out the urine from the litter box for our cats. It is also a pet owner’s responsibility to fill and re-fill their pets water bowls, making pet monitoring fairly straight forward.

If any abnormal symptoms are noted in your pet, these symptoms should be reported to your veterinarian and a health exam performed in order to prevent discomfort to your pet and help avoid long-term problems. Urinary problems would affect your pets overall wellbeing. Such problems can also lead to kidney failure, heart disease, hypertension, bladder stones, urinary blockages (anuria; the inability to pass urine) which may in turn lead to rupture of the urinary bladder.

she gets to know you, she lavishes you with affection. Jewel is a young girl and becomes quite playful once she trusts you.

Jewel lived happily with many other dogs but needs slow introductions to new dogs. She has a look that touches your soul and draws you to her. This little gem needs a loving and patient person to share a quiet home with.

The BCSPCA cares for more than 32,000 homeless, abused and injured animals each year, including more than 1,000 animals in Burnaby. The non-profit society receives no provincial government funding and is completely reliant on community support for most of its services.

To summarize, urinary organ system monitoring for each pet should be regularly performed at home and an annual exam with your veterinarian would also help screen for subtle signs affecting the urinary system. A healthy overall lifestyle should be ensured for your pet which includes a healthy diet, adequate water supply throughout the day, ample opportunity to exercise, regular scheduled walks for dogs and ensuring minimal stress (especially for cats).
