NOW, THAT’S A SELFIE:

Clarius Mobile Health founder and CEO Laurent Pelissier holds one of his Burnaby-based company’s C3 handheld ultrasound scanners, which won Health Canada and U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval in December for use by medical professionals.

EXCLUSIVE After knowing him for only a few minutes, Clarius Mobile Health CEO Laurent Pelissier shows me parts of himself I’ve never seen in any other man. Using his Burnaby company’s new handheld C3 ultrasound scanner and his iPhone, the 45-year-old entrepreneurial electrical engineer lets me peer at his liver, one of his kidneys, his gall bladder and his diaphragm. Slipping the scanner under his shirt, Pelissier slides it around on his abdomen, and writhing black and white images appear on his cell phone in real time via the Clarius app. “That’s my liver,” he says, zooming in and out with the phone’s touch screen much like you would a Facebook photo. “The grey is my liver and then the vessels are showing black because blood doesn’t reflect ultrasound … If I keep going you can see my kidney.” The device, approved in De-

cember by Health Canada and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use by medical professionals, is a first of its kind, and Laurent expects it to become as ubiquitous as the stethoscope someday. SIZE MATTERS The use of portable ultrasound scanners in so-called point-of-care

settings, like doctors’ offices and emergency rooms, has become increasingly popular for things like guiding injections and scanning quickly for internal bleeding. But even the portable devices now in use are still at least the size of a laptop computer and require doctors to mess around with cords, buttons and toggles to get

usable images, Pelissier says. Clarius scanners, meanwhile, are cordless and fit in the palm of your hand. “We took the whole ultrasound machine and put it onto one chip and this chip we put it inside the scanner,” Pelissier says, “and for interfacing – like controlling and viewing images in real time – we

use smartphones or tablets,” Billed as the world’s first pointand-shoot ultrasound scanners, the Clarius machines have also been engineered to optimize images automatically for clinicians. “At point-of-care, what doctors need is an ultrasound that they Continued on page 4

OWNER ADVOCATES FOR HIS PIT BULL

Diesel deserves some freedom in his own yard By Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby family wants the city to tweak part of the animal control bylaw that’s responsible for regulating

pit bulls. At Monday night’s council meeting, Ram Bansal shared how he was recently fined for having his American pit bull, Diesel, out in his yard.

Valid ONLY at Nando’s Kingsway. Not available in combination with any other offer. Not valid for alcohol, gift cards or sauce bottle. Must be presented at time of purchase. No cash value. Expires February 15, 2017.

15% off Family and Friends. Only valid at Nando’s Kingsway.

Under the current bylaw, pit bulls are considered a “vicious dog” and must be muzzled and kept on a leash when in public. Otherwise, owners must “securely confine” them

either inside or within a fenced yard that is: capable of preventing inadvertent entry by any person, including a child; adequately constructed to prevent the dog from escaping or inflict-

ing harm on any person or domestic animal; and has a sign posted at each point of entry advising that a vicious dog is within. Bansal made the case to council that his yard is

fenced, and that Diesel, who he described as lovable dog that has never hurt anyone, should be able to roam free. “In the court of law, you Continued on page 8

Reaching for the universe BCIT planetarium is the place to be on Friday nights in the city By Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

A makeover of the BCIT Planetarium appears to be paying off. The space was recently renovated by Roundhouse Productions, a laser and light show company that held a 30-year residency at MacMillan Planetarium in Vancouver. Shows like Radiohead, Vancouver’s Stars Live and Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon were huge hits, according to producer and company president Craig McCaw. “We’ve always had the best attendance in Canada because we were essentially planetarium people who didn’t do just lasers,” he told the NOW. So when the shows got cancelled in 2012, McCaw knew that wasn’t the end. He heard the BCIT Planetarium wasn’t in use and asked the school if Roundhouse Productions could give it a face lift.

“We thought, gee whiz, it’s pretty, sort of, sterile. Can we approach them and bring all our equipment in? It took about a year and a half to get anybody to pay attention,” he said with a laugh. After upgrading the BCIT Planetarium with full dome digital 360-video projection, RGB lasers and 360 sound, the entertainment company re-launched last November. “We have sold tons of shows,” McCaw said, noting a new lineup was added at the start of January. But creating a show is no easy task, he added.They can take up to five months to produce. “The guys are sitting there, animating this stuff and rendering it out, so you’ve got a computer with 32 cores, chugging away for a week and a half to give you 15 seconds of imagery,” McCaw explained. “Because it’s full dome video and animation, that’s what takes time.”

The production team first looks at music. “We look at something where the music has got dynamic range, maybe tells a story; not always about just guys singing about their girlfriends,” said McCaw, adding they’re currently working on a Gorillaz show. The track is then mixed, followed by many storyboard meetings. “The hard part is sitting there looking at a blank white screen and figuring out, ‘What the heck am I going to do?’” McCaw said.

Marking heritage in Burnaby City will spend up to $60,000 to install heritage signs for 125th anniversary Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

The City of Burnaby wants to mark its 125th birthday with a series of plaques. On Monday night, city council approved $60,000 from the city’s gaming fund to implement the project. The idea is to create and install permanent heritage markers throughout Burnaby.The theme is BurnabyThen and Now. “We want to capture the diversity of the history of the people in Burnaby. A lot of people aren’t aware that Burnaby is very rich in its culture, and there are a lot of stories people don’t know about,” heritage planner Helen Lee told

the NOW. City staff want to focus on five sub themes.They are:Working people – the lives of Burnaby citizens; taking a stand – collective action and advancing human rights; protecting the environment – waterways, green spaces and parks; celebrating diversity – multicultural Burnaby; and urban development – transportation, urbanization and building a modern city. Information around the precise locations of the heritage markers and how many there will be in total is unknown at this time. Lee said the project will launch on Sept. 22 in conjunction with the Burnaby Neighbourhood History Series at the BurnabyVillage Museum.

Meanwhile, the stories, artifacts and photos collected will be catalogued, digitized and will be uploaded to the Heritage Burnaby website, according to a staff report. Each year, the City of Burnaby receives 10 per cent of net revenues from the GrandVilla Casino, roughly $10 million.The money is spent on capital projects dealing with the environment, heritage, public safety or arts and culture, and not on operations as it’s not a secure source of funding. The gaming fund has helped pay for the cleanup of the former gun club sites at Burnaby Mountain Park ($3 million) and upgrades to the festival lawn at Deer Lake Park ($1.5 million), to name a few.

Man charged after SkyTrain attack A 29-year-old Surrey man faces multiple charges after allegedly slapping, grabbing and spitting at police officers on a Burnaby SkyTrain platform. Adam BradWaters is charged with two counts of assaulting a police officer and one count of willfully resisting a police officer. Officers approached him at about 9:45 p.m. on Jan. 29, according to aTransit Police press release, after they spotted him holding an open bottle of cider and carrying a sixpack of additional ciders. As the officers approached, police say he smashed the six-pack on the floor and tried to fight with them, allegedly slap-

ping one officer in the face and grabbing the groin area of another. During his arrest, he also allegedly spat in one officer’s face, according to police. After he was taken into custody, it was determined Waters was wanted on a Surrey RCMP warrant for domestic assault. Waters made his first court appearance and was released with conditions that bar him from SkyTrains and stations. The transit officers involved suffered no significant injuries, according to the Transit Police press release. - By Cornelia Naylor

Commercial phase: Above, a batch of Clarius portable ultrasound scanners is almost ready for sale. At right, another scanner is assembled at the company’s Burnaby facility. PHOTOS CORNELIA NAYLOR

Pocket ultrasound scanners ready to go Continued from page 1 can place against the patient and they don’t need to fiddle around with all the buttons, so we actually have technology inside the scanner that auto-optimizes parameters,” Pelissier says. Clarius scanners are also cheaper than existing portable devices, which cost between $25,000 and $70,000, according to Pelissier. The price of the Burnaby-made devices ranges from $8,900 to $12,900 on the Clarius website. Despite its user-friendly features and relatively low price, though, it turns out not just anyone can buy one of the handheld scanners to check out their own innards. “If you’re buying one to use yourself, we wouldn’t be able to sell it to you,” Pelissier says. “That’s medical-device regulations. It’s still a prescription device.”

The cutting edge, hand-held Clarius scanners are the product of two years of aggressive research and development by a team of engineers with lots of experience in ultrasound technology, according to the founder and CEO, and the company is now launching into its commercial phase. “The result of FDA and Health Canada approval is that we’re going to ramp up sales and ramp up activity,” says Pelissier, who has worked in the industry for more than 20 years and is also the founder of Ultrasonix Medical, a Richmond-based company acquired by an American firm fourand-a-half years ago. Clarius, which currently employs 60 people at its Gilmore Way facility, expects to double its workforce by the end of the year. “We’re going to continue growing the company here,” Pelissier says.

Man arrested for drug dealing near SkyTrain A 20-year-old Surrey man was arrested for allegedly dealing drugs near a Burnaby SkyTrain station last week. On Jan. 23 at about 6:40 p.m., plain clothes Transit Police officers found Luis Abarca in an idling car in the Lougheed Town Centre parking lot with several phones in his lap and a plastic bag filled with smaller packets of what appeared to be drugs on the passenger seat, according to a police press release.

As the officers took Abarca into custody for suspected drug possession, police say the phones began ringing with people apparently calling to order drugs. Abarca was then arrested for both trafficking and possession. A search of his person located a significant quantity of cash, according to police, who also discovered Abarca didn’t own the vehicle he was found in nor did he have a driver’s licence. He has been charged with

two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking and was released on bail after his first court appearance. SkyTrain stations are an attractive spot for dial-a-dope drug dealers, according to Transit Police, because of their central location and accessibility. Anyone who is aware of problem areas or who spots suspected drug activity near a station is asked to text Transit Police discreetly at 877777.

The NDP MP for New Westminster-Burnaby wants the “bad apples” in Canada’s mining industry to be held accountable for any human rights abuses conducted overseas. Peter Julian has tabled Bill C-331, which would amend the Federal Courts Act to allow foreign nationals to bring forward tort claims in Canada for injustices that take place abroad. The legislation, based on the United States’ Alien Tort Claims Act, would allow the Federal Court and the Federal Court of Appeal to hear and decide the cases.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

It’s time to make seniors’ care a priority Thanks to the BC Care Providers Association (BCCPA), we now know that elder care in this province is substandard and there are things that could be done to make a difference in people’s lives. What it would take, besides money, is an elderfirst view rather than simply adherence to schedules and budgets. The organization is requesting an annual investment of $337 million over the next five years to in-

crease care hours, improve training, replace old infrastructure and overhaul the current system, with matching funds from the federal government. BCCPA points out that the Scrooge-like allowance of home care in 15-minute blocks and less than 3.36 hours per person of direct care in most seniors’ homes is inadequate. We say it’s pathetic. We understand that there are only so many dollars to go around.We get that pri-

orities have to be set and budgets adhered to. But the current elder care system seems to offer nothing but the bare minimum, with volunteer programs, stressed-out family members and paid private care expected to pick up the slack. What’s innovative about the BCCPA approach is it doesn’t just talk about dollars. Many of the recommendations in the #CareCanBeThere Strengthening Seniors:A Made-in-B.C.

Roadmap are about not just meeting urgent care needs but about improving quality of life. For example, it recommends a Seniors Quality of Life Fund to pay for programs such as recreational therapy, music therapy and occupational therapy for those in residential care and receiving home care. This would be a blessing, for as anyone with a parent in the system knows, most government care is about meeting basic needs of toi-

leting, bathing and administering medicine. Making it a priority to provide emotional and physical supports to elders with chronic health needs would be a game-changer. Also of note is the idea that residential care centres could be hubs delivering a wide variety of services so people don’t have to travel so far for programs, while a Care Credits program could provide families with choice in a caregiver, eliminating the stress in-

volved in having a number of different caregivers handling a single person’s intimate tasks. In the end, the goal should be not to determine what can be done with less, but what would be the best for our elders, then work back from there.The BCCPA report goes a long way towards offering some innovative ideas. – Guest editorial from the Tri-City News

MY VIEW PAT TRACY

Will we make it after all? Well, the first month of 2017 is over, and I think I’m speaking for a lot of people when I say it’s not looking a whole lot better than the last month of 2016. U.S. President Donald Trump is wielding his executive pen like Barney from The Flintstones wielding his club. It looks like under Trump’s reign he’s just going to set up a big oil drain pan in the States and get Justin to turn on the taps. And, oh, yes, that nasty man from the Dragons’ Den who is basically Trump with

But, to top it off, we lost Mary Tyler Moore

a bigger vocabulary hopes to be the next leader of the Conservative Party of Canada.There’s much more bad news that we simply can’t bear repeating. But, to top it off, we lost Mary Tyler Moore. I don’t often choke up when celebrities die.Yes, we’ve lost a lot in the last year or so who trigger poignant memories. But Moore was bigger than just another lost celebrity for me and a lot of women. For a generation of women (and women journalists) she was what Obama is to black America. “You’re going to make it after all” – the lyrics to her theme song for The Mary Tyler Moore Show – were the

“Yes, we can” of the Obama years. Not to mention “love is all around.” So when the media just kept replaying that song last week, there was a catch in my throat. She inspired me to go into journalism at a time when the guidance counsellor at our school told me that I should become a secretary – “because there’ll always be a need for secretaries.” Her advice, however, should be taken in context. We didn’t get along as I had refused to go on her beloved annual field trip to Madame Runge’s clothing store in Vancouver to learn how to dress well. So, understandably, she had basically given up on my “potential.” However in a lame defence of my guidance counsellor, there weren’t a whole lot of career options offered to girls in 1970. Nursing and teaching were considered the main ones – if you left out marriage. So when Mary Tyler Moore encountered sexism in her newsroom, and did so with humour and unrelenting spunk, I soaked it up. It didn’t hurt that around the same time Washington Post journalists Carl Bernstein and Jonathan Woodward were investigating President Richard Nixon’s crimes in the White House. Watergate and Moore were a powerful combination on TV when there were only six channels.The entire family – all three of us – sat glued to our old black Continued on page 7

MP stands up for forests

Burnaby-Kingsway MP Svend Robinson pleaded guilty in July to violating a Supreme Court injunction against blockading the Clayoquot Sound logging road. In a court statement he said he accepted full responsibility for standing on the blockade to protest clear-cut logging the previous year and deserved the same sentence as other protesters. His lawyer requested a one-week jail term instead of an electronic monitoring program. Robinson had been fined $750 for a similar protest in the Queen Charlottes.

GOOD

They aren’t just roofers, they’re heroes to Vanda Thomson of Burnaby. Thomson sent a letter and called the BurnabyNOW to make sure that the guys at RooFix get credit for a couple of good deeds. During the snow and ice storms last month, Thomson was trapped in her home. Her garage door was frozen shut and so was her back door. “I was really scared,” she said, “I wouldn’t have gotten out if it wasn’t for them.” She called RooFix, and within an hour they were there to help. One guy got on the roof and dislodged some dangerous chunks of ice that could have fallen off and injured someone, and the other fellow thawed out the garage door and made sure that Thomson could get out and return safely. “They deserve a big thank you,” she said.

Seeing stars in the city Continued from page 3 The avid astronomer (he even named his son Orion) has always had a passion for the skies and music. During the late ’60s and early ’70s, he played lead guitar, sitar and keyboard for Canadian band The Poppy Family. After the band stopped touring, McCaw went on to play in many more bands. When he joined the MacMillan Planetarium later on, he held a variety of roles, including special FX design, air brush art and scripting work. He eventually be-

came the de facto resident composer at the planetarium, composing the music scores, recording the narration and mixing the audio for dozens of shows. Asked what the biggest reward of the job is, McCaw said it’s seeing the smiles on the audience member’s faces. “To see people enjoying it, that’s what it’s all about. It’s not really trying to get rich, but it’s just having fun,” said McCaw. Shows at the BCIT Planetarium, which seats 80

people, are on every Friday night until the spring. Vancouver’s Stars and The Hot Universe kicks things off at 7 p.m. (free), followed by Dark Side of the Moon at 8:10 p.m., Radiohead at 9:15 p.m. and Dark Side of the Moon again at 10:15 p.m.Tickets cost $12 each or $22 for two shows on the same night.They can be bought at the door or by visiting roundhouseshows. com. The planetarium is in the SW3 building.

Dog bylaw there to protect the public, says councillor Continued from page 1 are innocent until proven guilty and you have the chance to present your case. In this case, pit bulls have to be under house arrest or in jail without committing any crime and cannot present their side of the story,” said Bansal, noting Diesel is a help to his deaf wife when there’s someone at the door

or when the phone rings. “This is total discrimination on the whole breed.” Coun. Sav Dhaliwal threw his support behind the city bylaw, telling Bansal it was created based on what staff know about the behaviour of pit bulls. “It has been, in fact, well debated many times.We asked our staff to get more

stats before we arrived at that conclusion, that we believe pit bulls do behave viciously,” he said. “A lot of examples of pit bulls attacking people right across the country. Many jurisdictions completely ban pit bulls.We didn’t go that far.” Dhaliwal added it comes down to public safety. “We’ll always have oppor-

tunity to review bylaws if, over the longer period, we find this hasn’t made any difference. For the time being, I see that the way the current bylaws are, they’re there to protect the public,” he said. Coun. Colleen Jordan agreed. She shared a story from a few months ago when a pit bull got away

Mayor Derek Corrigan advised staff to look into why Bansal was given a ticket and asked that a memo

Mayor skeptical of climate change letter

DENTURE WEARERS!

Getting industry to pay for its fair share of climate costs will be tough to do, Corrigan says Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

The mayor of Burnaby says asking the fossil fuel industry to pay for its “fair share” of climate costs is tough to do. The comment is in response to a letter sent out last week to 190 local governments in B.C. on behalf of 55 groups, including Burnaby Residents Opposing Kinder Morgan Expansion and Burnaby Pipeline Watch. The letter, spearheaded by theWest Coast Environmental Law Association, states B.C. and Canadian taxpayers will be the ones to foot the bill – from wildfires and drought to flooding and rising sea levels. “If the fossil fuel companies – whose products are the major drivers of climate change – had to pay even a fraction of the associated climate costs, they would not be able to out-compete renewables and would pivot towards sustainable alternatives without delay,” the document reads. The signees ask for two things.The first is that local governments demand fossil fuel accountability, which could take the form of a detailed invoice for climate costs.The second is they work towards a classaction lawsuit and demand accountability through the courts. Mayor Derek Corrigan said both requests are “conceptually very interesting.” He told the NOW asking

Clinic offers care for hepatitis C patients cnaylor@newwestrecord.ca

“When you think of hepatitis C, what do you think of?” That’s a question hep C patient advocate Daryl Luster said he has posed to a lot of politicians. “Drug users and addicts” is the answer he almost always gets back, he said, and he believes that stigma has made it “convenient” to ignore the needs of people living with the disease. A new specialized clinic opening in New Westminster this month, however, has given him reason to hope attitudes are changing. “I’m encouraged by it,” he told the NOW. “Any step like this, for me, is huge considering where we were five, 10 years ago.” The Columbia Hepatitis Clinic, across East Columbia Street from Royal Columbian Hospital, hosted an open house last month and will provide medical and nursing assessment, Fi-

‘Blemish’ on country

broscan testing, treatment and monitoring for hepatitis C – a blood-borne virus that can lead to liver cancer and liver scarring. “It was just a question of need,” said Dr. Ken Atkinson, one of eight doctors launching the clinic. “There was a hole in the care for hep C patients.” Until now, there hasn’t been a formalized hep C clinic outside of Vancouver, and patients outside of the downtown area and in the Fraser Valley have been treated ad hoc, according to Atkinson. “A family doctor would make a referral, pick an individual doctor who may or may not treat hep C and refer them on,” he said. “There wasn’t any kind of formalized process.There wasn’t any specialized nursing involved.There wasn’t any kind of centralized place.” A key component of the new clinic will be a specialized nurse, who will help patients negotiate the ex-

Langara Mechanical Ltd.

He said that has been a disincentive for doctors to take on hep C patients. “My secretary would have to do it,” he said. “We’d have to call around. Now what happens is we have a nurse who will help

The majority of people living with hepatitis C are not drug users. navigate that. She already has experience with that, so she’ll help the patients navigate through the application to the government process, through their private insurer’s process.” The new clinic is also equipped with a Fibroscan, which measures liver damage caused by the hepatitis C virus. Only patients with a certain degree of liver scarring

qualify for Pharmacare coverage of certain drugs, and a Fibroscan or biopsy is needed to prove the extent of the damage, according to Atkinson. Until now, he said, hep C patients in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley would have to travel into Vancouver to get a scan. That patients have to wait until their liver is damaged to be covered for treatment is absurd to Luster. “With cancer, we say, ‘Treat early,’” he said. “With diabetes, we don’t say, ‘Let’s wait until your arm falls off or your leg or your foot.’” If left untreated, hepatitis C can lead to liver damage, liver cancer and the need for a liver transplant. Ideally, Luster would like to see hep C medication covered for all people living with hep C regardless of liver damage. In the meantime, however, he said B.C. should follow Quebec’s lead and reduce liver fibrosis (scarring) as a criteria to access drug

funding. As for cost, Luster questions the government estimates, saying they’re inflated. “What that has done is made it easy to say, ‘Oh, we can’t afford it.’We would argue we can’t afford not to,” Luster said. “People are getting sicker, and it isn’t just liver disease that is the problem.” While intravenous drug users might be responsible for most new hep C infections, Luster said they make up only about 15 per cent of the infected population in B.C., which is estimated at about 70,000. “They need support too,” Luster said, “but the majority of people living with hepatitis C are not drug users … The majority of people living with hepatitis C in British Columbia and North America and globally are people, like myself, in their 50s and 60s.” The Columbia Hepatitis Clinic is located at 410-301 East Columbia St.

Continued from page 5 Gold (the largest gold producer in the world) were implicated in alleged gang rapes and other violent crimes at the Porgera Mine in Papua New Guinea. Critics, like Human Rights Watch, argued Canada wasn’t doing enough when it came to imposing “greater government oversight.” That has given Canada somewhat of a “black eye,” according to Julian, who hopes his bill will change the narrative. “There’s no doubt that it’s a blemish on the Canadian record. Us putting this type of legislation in place shows the rest of the world that we take it seriously,” he told the NOW, adding Bill C-331 has been endorsed by the Canadian Association of Labour Lawyers. Julian’s bill could move up in the House of Commons if it receives enough public support, if it gets drawn during the private members’ bill lottery or if the Liberal government takes it and makes it its own. “There are lots of opportunities for getting this bill through,” Julian said.

tensive paperwork needed to secure funding for costly medication. The nurse will also help educate patients about the importance of the medication, its success rate, its sideeffect profile and the importance of compliance. Drugs to cure hep C have improved dramatically over the last two years, according to Atkinson, from a success rate of about 50 to 60 per cent with lots of side effects and toxicity in about 2014, to about 90 to 98 per cent with minimal side effects today. But the new drugs are expensive. The overall cost of providing, administering and monitoring one of the new drugs (Harvoni) is close to $140,000 per patient, according to a provincial estimate cited in a recent CBC story. That price comes with a lot of paperwork from government and private health insurers, according to Atkinson.

Don’t let emotions hijack your ability to live DavidicusWong HEALTHWISE

editorial@burnabynow.com

Have you ever asked, “What was I thinking?” when you were carried away with strong emotions, such as anxiety, anger or love? Have you noticed that emotions can highjack your brain, narrow your perspective, limit your thoughts and make you do things that you realize later were not so rational? When we are angry, we regress (in emotional and intellectual maturity) and aggress (prepare to attack). Anger limits our ability to see the positive in the other person. When anxious, we overestimate the challenge before us and underestimate our ability to cope. Anxiety makes us avoidant and holds us back from reaching our full potential. When depressed, we withdraw, and we think

more negatively about ourselves, others, our situation and the future. Why do we have these troublesome emotions? Our brains and our emotional responses are the products of human evolution. Every emotion – love, anger, sadness and anxiety – has served a valuable survival function. Without anxiety, we would never plan or be alerted to potential danger.Without sadness, we would not appreciate what we cherish or value.Without anger, we would not defend our selves or our loved ones. Without love, we could not work and live together, have families and friendships. Like pain, our emotions serve important functions; they warn us that something needs our attention. But, like chronic pain, our emotions become a problem when they negatively affect our function, our relationships and personal sense of well-being.

Like chronic pain, our emotions become a problem when they negatively affect our function We still carry in our heads the vestiges of evolution. In what is called the triune brain, we have the reptilian brain (of the brain stem that is reactive and instinctive), the paleomammalian brain (of the limbic system that is emotional) and the neomammalian brain (of the prefrontal cortex that is rational). When we are overwhelmed by stress, emotion or pain, we tend to function with our reptilian and paleomammalian brains. Our emotions and survival instincts control our actions and thoughts. Our sense of self is contracted; we feel small, alone and separate. Two skills taught in modern psychology can help us manage strong emotions

and chronic pain: cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness. Cognitive behavioural therapy shows us how our thoughts, emotions and actions interact, helps us recognize how common thinking traps and negative assumptions can worsen our mood, and how choosing more adaptive thoughts can reduce our suffering and help us manage our emotions. In the world of mindfulness, we say that pain is unavoidable, but suffering is optional.The causes of suffering are our reactions to experiences. We tend to react with aversion or craving.We run away from, fight or react to unpleasant experiences or

sensations.We desire, crave or cling to the pleasant.This flows naturally from our reptilian and paleomammalian brains.We pursue happiness by seeking the pleasant and avoiding the unpleasant.This of course is not a good strategy for lasting happiness; nothing that we cling to will last.We, our world and all that is in it are constantly changing. If we can accept what is without judgment or reactivity (in other words, without resistance), there is no suffering. We increase our suffering with what is called in mindfulness the second arrow. The first arrow is the sensation or discomfort.The second is our automatic negative thoughts, our clinging or aversion, the emotions that shape our thinking, and the ruminating thoughts that perpetuate our emotions. Most of us fail to recognize our power to reduce our own suffering.

91A

With mindfulness, we can learn to engage the prefrontal cortex to calm the lower centres of the brain, experience our emotions and physical sensations without reactivity and maintain our more connected, expansive sense of self. In my next column, we’ll explore the practice of mindfulness. It is not something that we practise only in a quiet place for a few minutes of the day. It is an approach and a perspective that can transform our minds to their evolutionary potential and help us manage difficult emotions and experiences throughout each day and over the course of our lives.

SFU squads bulk up

Football, soccer programs recruit new talent for 2017 On the special event known as National Signing Day, the Simon Fraser University Clan football team unveiled its first recruits of the winter. With an eye on improving on last year’s dreadful 0-10 season, the Clan coaching staff added an impressive list of 16 newcomers to the program that address both sides of the ball. “I think today, we added players that will continue to build the base of our program,” said SFU head coach Kelly Bates. “Today is the start of our signing period, which will continue to play out over the weeks ahead, but the guys that have committed today are going to be huge pieces of moving this program in the direction that we want.” Among the incoming who will battle for roles in 2017 are Burnaby natives Lorenzo DelGiglio, Mauro Glammaria and Matteo Montagliani, each making the jump to Div. 2 after stellar high school careers. DelGiglio, who like Glammaria is a product of Notre Dame Secondary, is one of four offensive linemen added to the roll call trying to replace the likes of Burnaby’s Felix Gacusana Jr., who wrapped up a fouryear career as a member of the Great Northwest Athletic Conference’s second all-star team. Glammaria joins a deep receiving corps, while Montagliani, of St.Thomas More, will compete for defensive back minutes alongside returnees Jaryn Bailey and Adam Turrin, both Burnaby natives. Meanwhile, the SFU men’s soccer team launched its recruiting season by inking four players to national letters of intent. Among the four are Burnaby Central grads Connor Glennon and Christopher Guerreiro. Glennon, a midfielder, and Guerreiro, a fullback, have been groomed through the Whitecaps FC Residency program for the past four years. “All four of them can play right away and will really add to the present competitive culture we have in place for our program,” said SFU coach Clint Schneider, who has led the Clan to an 18-3-5 record over two seasons. “Every player is an outstanding student and they have all of the ingredients to be successful at Canada’s top comprehensive university.”

Chargers embrace a road less travelled

Burnaby girls launched 2016-17 sr. hoop season in the centre of an international story Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

The journey each year for most sports teams has its ups and downs, but few Canadian high school basketball teams could say their pre-season preparation was guided by a state funeral. The Cariboo Hill senior girls Chargers are prepping for next week’s league playoffs and a Double-A qualifier down the road. It’s unlikely anything could rattle this group after a November trip to Cuba gave them a glimpse of life’s bigger picture. The pre-season trip – which began with the players doing a lot of fundraising – landed them in the midst of an international story, with the death of Cuban president Fidel Castro happening on their first day on the island. Participating in some training with the Cuban national coaching program, Cariboo Hill also took part in some humanitarian volun-

teering, as well as sightseeing. But the eight-day trip was also in the middle of the nation’s nine-day of national mourning. “The girls stood in Revolution Square the day of the funeral procession, witness to the silent mourning of a nation in grief,” recalled Chargers coach Wendi Palmer. “To say that this experience was surreal would be an understatement.The team showed the utmost respect and reverence throughout our tour, despite the major itinerary changes due to the national mourning restrictions.” Through their stay, they expressed the appropriate interest and respect for the people of Cuba, and demonstrated traits of generosity, kindness, humour and compassion, Palmer noted. Grade 12 post MacKenzie Smith said while unplanned events may have altered their schedule, the intention of the trip was fulfilled in many ways. “I hoped that as a team we

would bond over experiencing a new level of basketball as well as being in another country and experiencing their culture together,” said Smith. Palmer said the players took many items – clothes, shoes and basketballs – to give away on the

To say that this experience was surreal would be an understatement. trip, and many personal items were handed to members of the host Cuban team, making for a lighter suitcase coming home. Once into the grind of the regular season, the Chargers gave a spirited effort in the opener only to fall 45-44 to Burnaby South.While they rebounded to beat Burnaby

North 63-33, three straight losses demonstrated the difficulties involved in finding consistency and a winning streak. It all turned around a week ago when Cariboo Hill powered past Moscrop 72-63 in overtime. Smith set the tone with 32 points and 16 defensive rebounds, while Grade 11 forward Dalia Ananga counted a career-best 21 points and 11 boards. Also registering a doubledouble was senior guard Britney Arujuno-Okafor, who tallied 10 points and 10 rebounds. It was followed with Monday’s regular season-ending 62-26 win over Alpha, with Smith cashing in 18 points, Ananga a dozen and Courtney Cameron with 10. The Chargers head into next week’s Burnaby-New West league playoffs as the No. 4 seed, squaring off against No. 5 Moscrop in Monday’s quarter-finals. “Placing fourth overall in our league is a big credit to the heart of Continued on page 25

Steelers wheel past Aldergrove in ﬁrst-place test

Behind a re-energized powerplay, the Grandview Steelers looked like giant slayers in a 7-5 victory over the league-leading Aldergrove Kodiaks on Sunday. Grandview went an impressive three-for-six with the man advantage, building up a 7-1 lead just 33 minutes into the Pacific Junior B Hockey League contest.

Sixteen-year-old rookie Leeam Tivers, playing just his seventh game with the club, scored once and set up two others as the Steelers maintained their lead in the Tom Shaw Conference race over Delta, with four games to play. Picking up his team-leading 20th goal of the season was Keito Lee, while Mateo Coltellaro racked up a goal and two assists.

Also scoring for Grandview were Anthony Benevoli, Nico Bruno, Jeffrey Wong and Kristofor Zlomislic. Matteo Paler-Chow turned aside 26 shots for the win. Grandview, which leads Delta by two points in the conference race, visits North Vancouver on Saturday before hosting Delta on Sunday, 4 p.m. at the Burnaby Winter Club.

Knights edge Killarney Post Cam Morris racks up 70 points over two games The wait is almost over. The St.Thomas More Knights packed in five games over the past week and have one more exhibition test on the table before getting down to the nitty-gritty: the playoffs. After a 4-1 run that saw them cross paths with the top-ranked team in 3A, as well 4A’s No. 6 team, the Knights are eager to put the season on the line for real. “I guess this is the dog days of the season,” remarked STM coach Aaron Mitchell, a day after his squad defeated the No. 6-rated 4A Killarney Cougars 79-58. “With all these exhibition games it really comes down to the guys’ internal motivation.They are ready for the next season, which is the post-season.” Led by Grade 12 post Cam Morris, the Knights stayed ahead of Killarney but didn’t

pull away until the fourth quarter. Morris opened the game with four straight treys in the first 1:30, but the shorter but speedy Cougars were not easy to shake, as STM led 25-24 after the first quarter. With injuries to RyanYuen and Cedric Ducharme taking a toll, Mitchell turned to Cedric Alvarez and Nathan Hallam midway through Wednesday’s game, and both played well. Morris finished with 39 points, a day after counting 31 points against Sullivan Heights in a strong 75-48 victory.Twenty-seven of his points in Tuesday’s match came in the first half. On the weekend, STM finished third at the R.A. McMath tourney, with the lone blemish coming in a 87-62 loss to 3A rival Rick Hansen. They close out the exhibition season on Saturday against Steveston-London in Vancouver.

Chargers primed for playoffs

Looking up: Capilano University’s Sarah Hughes continues to lead the charge for her women’s volleyball team. The Burnaby setter was named the Pacwest Female Volleyball Player of the Week after posting a two-day tally of eight kills, 91 set assists, five aces, 23 digs and six blocks in a sweep for the squad as they prepare for the playoffs.

Continued from page 24 the team, and to the hard work and commitment they’ve shown over the years,” said Palmer. While they focus on next week’s playoffs, a date on Feb. 14 in a AA Lower Mainland playoff qualifier looms close. Ananga said the recent string of successes is a result of

being focused and united. “Us wanting it more than the other teams (is the difference).We fight hard for every possession and show lots of determination,” said Ananga. Through the journeys shared over the past years, the team has grown incredibly tight, remarked Smith. “Just being a family to each

other,” she said of the squad. “The support is unreal, and I know I will always have a place to go when I need to feel safe.” Palmer points to the coming playoff games and feels the team is in a good spot. “I like our chances in both playoff routes, as our girls are peaking at just the right time of year,” said Palmer.
