Majority still want pipeline fight: poll But a large segment of the business community showed solid support for Trans Mountain

Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Burnaby and New Westminster residents stand apart in Metro Vancouver in their desire for local governments to continue in the fight against the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project.

In a survey taken before the Federal Court of Appeal quashed government approval of the project, only 36 per cent of Burnaby and New West residents (grouped together in the

data) said they want municipal governments to work with the federal government to get it built. A slight majority – 53 per cent – said they want to see mayors and councillors fighting the pipeline, while 11 per cent said they were undecided on the matter.

The figures come from a research project from Mustel Group and FleishmanHillard HighRoad in partnership with the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade.

Over the region, support for the pipeline expansion

was much stronger, with 57 per cent saying they want to see municipalities working to have it built and 35 per cent wanting to see it fought. Support was even stronger in the business community, at 71 per cent.

Support for the pipeline was strongest (67 per cent) in the southwest (Richmond, South Delta and Tsawassen) and northeast (Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody and Maple Ridge).

The survey looks at a wide variety of issues head-

ing into the Oct. 20 civic election that will see British Columbians choose their mayors, councillors and school trustees. (In Vancouver, voters will also choose park board commissioners.)

Burnaby and New West residents listed affordable housing as the top issue (37 per cent), followed by transportation (22 per cent).The opioid crisis was listed as the lowest priority for municipal spending.

The vote in Metro Vancouver “will take place against a backdrop of sig-

nificant concern and anxiety among voters and politicians about quality of life and affordability in the region,” said the report.

“Metro Vancouver has long enjoyed a reputation for an excellent quality of life, but residents and businesses seem to be falling out of love with the place we call home.”

Unaffordability has left many pessimistic about their future in the region, with nearly half (46 per cent) saying they’ve considered moving away.

A man who fell down a set of stairs while conducting a personal fire drill at his Burnaby condo didn’t come up with enough evidence to sue his strata for negligence, according to a B.C. Supreme Court judge.

On Jan. 10, 2014, James Goddard was using his cellphone to measure the time it would take him to reach the various fire exits in his apartment building, according to court documents, when he fell down a wooden exterior staircase outside of a fire exit.

He remembered putting his phone away and grabbing the railing, and, the next thing he knew, he was at the bottom of the stairs.

Goddard launched a lawsuit alleging Bayside Property Services Ltd. and the owners of Strata Plan NW 289 were guilty of negligence because of the stairs and their condition.

But Goddard, according to his own testimony, didn’t know how he ended up at the bottom of the stairs, according to a ruling by Justice Kenneth Ball last Friday, and there was evidence the stairs had been properly maintained.

In his ruling, Ball said laws about negligence are there to protect people from “an objectively unreasonable risk of harm.”

“The existence of stairs by itself is not an unreasonable risk of harm, but a risk that persons in our society face on a daily basis,” Ball said. “The existence of stairs is not therefore something from which the defendants needed to protect the plaintiff.”

Ball dismissed the case.

Mountie bridges gaps with soccer Dangerous IN BRIEF

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A summer soccer camp started by a local Mountie for kids in a low-income Burnaby neighbourhood just keeps on growing.

RCMP Const. Kwame Amoateng (or just “Kwame” to the kids) ran the first of the day camps last year with about 18 kids, mostly from the Hillside Gardens housing complex – home to a diverse mix of families, including many newcomers and refugees.

The camp was back this year at Edmonds Park twice in August and a total of about 80 kids participated.

The camp is aimed at kids aged eight to 12 and designed to build on the positive attitude most youngsters that age still have toward police.

It also gives them something to do when their parents are at work.

Besides soccer, there are snacks and water provid-

ed every day and a wrap-up pizza party at the end.

Amoateng, who has become well known in the neighbourhood since his days as a general duty officer doing foot patrols there, also recruited a few older kids to act as assistant coaches this year.

“They’re kids in the neighbourhood, some who have sort of had some contact with the police,” he said. “It’s amazing to see them change when you put them in leadership roles.

When you try to get the attention of 40 kids, it can be pretty hard, and some of the older kids are seeing that challenge, and they’re getting involved, saying, ‘Guys, keep quiet,’ because now they’re in those roles as opposed to being on the other end of it.”

Local firefighters were also invited to come out and show off themselves and one of their fire trucks on the final day of the second camp last Friday.

“We work so close with the firefighters,” Amoateng said, “but yet, when we do events, we don’t seem to be together, so I thought, ‘Why not bring them out?’The kids love them as much as they love police officers.”

Cigarette suspected in South Burnaby bush fire Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby Fire Department is reminding residents there’s still no smoking allowed in local parks and the risk of wildland fires is still high after firefighters were called to a brush fire in a South Burnaby park Thursday morning.

The department got reports of a smoky smell near Southwynde Avenue and Byrne Park Drive at about 3:30 a.m.

Crews responded, but the area the smoke was coming from was in dense bush, so they decided to return at daybreak, according to assistant fire Chief Barry Mawhinney.

They returned at about 6:30 a.m. and located the fire off a path about 170 metres into Bryne Creek Ravine Park, he said.

An official cause hasn’t been determined, but a discarded cigarette is likely to blame, according to Mawhinney.

“The fire was right on the edge of the trail, and it spread away from the trail,” he said.

The blaze scorched about 1,500 square metres, and firefighters had to cut down a few damaged trees.

Mawhinney expected crews to be on site into the afternoon on Thursday, using mattocks to dig up the fire’s perimeter and soak the area to prevent any smouldering.

“It’s bone dry, everything’s dry,” he said.

No structures were threatened by the blaze, according Mawhinney.

“It’s just a nice large park,” he said. “It’s a place people like to use, so nobody wants to see it destroyed by a fire.”

A high-friction surface treatment will be applied to a dangerous part of the Highway 1 - Willingdon Avenue off-ramp in Burnaby as part of a provincial roads program.

A total of 14 high-collision locations throughout the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island were identified as needing the treatment to help drivers stop faster - with the goal of reducing rear-end collisions.

The treatment will cover the eastbound section of the Willingdon off-ramp.

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure worked with ICBC to identify four interchange off-ramps and 10 intersections.

The treatment will be applied to the roadway by an automated truckmounted machine using a specialized aggregate and resin to help vehicles come to a full stop more quickly.

The total cost of the program is $3.9 million, and the province said in a news release that the hope is it will reduce rising ICBC insurance claim costs.Work will start the first week of September and is expected to be completed by the end of the month.

Warm showers for homeless

Free warm showers are being promoted by a Burnaby anti-homelessness group for people who are “living rough.”

The Society to End Homelessness in Burnaby posted on its website that the free warm showers were available at the Burnaby Lake Rugby Club.

This includes designated male and female showers.

The showers are available daily from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.

According to the society’s Karen O’Shannacery, getting people access to warm showers was a key item for the Burnaby task force on homelessness.

“For a while we’ve been trying to get access to warm showers for people who are living rough,” she said. “It’s a major health concern if you can’t get clean.”

Man gets two years for three-week crime spree Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A man found guilty of seven Vancouver and Burnaby bank robberies in three weeks has been sentenced to two years in jail after chalking up an “exceptional” rehabilitation record since his arrest, according to a B.C. Supreme Court judge.

Eranga De Silva was arrested on Feb. 18, 2016 in the back of a Burnaby cab after robbing his seventh bank since Jan. 29 that year – this one a TD Canada Trust at 4994 Kingsway. It was the second time he had robbed that branch. He had also robbed a TD Canada Trust at 3710 Canada Way and banks in Vancouver.

De Silva was eventually convicted on seven counts of robbery and one count of attempted robbery.

In each case, he had handed a bank teller a note saying he had weapon (a gun or, in one case, a gun and a grenade) and demanded specific sums of

money ranging from $1,200 to $3,000.

He never displayed a weapon of any kind, according to court documents.

All of the tellers gave De Silva less than he asked for, and the first teller he tried to rob refused to give him anything.

“In that case, after the teller refused, Mr. De Silva asked him if he was sure, and the teller said ‘Yes,’ and Mr. De Silva left the bank,” states an Aug. 17 sentencing ruling.

In total, De Silva succeeded in robbing the banks of $2,360.

De Silva came to Canada as a five-year-old in 1997 when his family fled political turmoil in Sri Lanka, according to court documents.

He became a Canadian citizen in 2013.

As a teen, he fell into drug use and associated with people in the drug trade. He became drugdependent in his late teens and early 20s.

His robberies were per-

petrated to get money for drugs, according to a presentencing report cited in his sentencing ruling.

The prosecution in the case called for a five-year jail term, while De Silva’s lawyer argued for a two-year sentence with three years’ probation.

B.C. Supreme Court Justice George Macintosh agreed with the defence submission, citing De Silva’s lack of a previous adult criminal record, his family support, his efforts at rehabilitation and the particular facts of his robberies.

While robbery can be a most serious crime with a maximum sentence of life imprisonment, according to Macintosh, he said the particular facts underlying each conviction must be given proper weight.

“This case cannot be viewed in the same way as one, for example, in which a perpetrator enters a bank, brandishes a weapon, and demands all those present to lie face down,” he said.

City seeking $7 million MISSING TEETH? We can help! to prevent sewage flow Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Burnaby is asking senior levels of government for $7 million to prevent sewage from flowing into Burrard Inlet.

City council approved a grant request seeking the funds from the Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program. If the request is approved, the city would use it

to separate sewage carrying pipes from surface runoff carrying lines connected to storm drains. Doing so “reduces the likelihood of combined sewer overflows, and therefore improves the water quality within the Burrard Inlet and Fraser River and reduces sewer treatment costs,” according to a staff report.

Nearly 65 per cent of the municipality’s combined

sewers have already been separated, leaving only 49 kilometres of combined lines, the report says.

If approved, the cash would go towards a $9.6-million plan to separate the sewer lines, as well as replace water mains, rehabilitate roads and install the required conduits.The plan targets North Burnaby due to its proximity to Burrard Inlet.

Poll numbers tell a story for local politicians

Polls, polls and more polls.We’re constantly hearing the results of polls that have been conducted on any number of issues.

Well, we’ve got even more poll results for you.

The NOW received special access to regional numbers that were part of a wide-ranging poll conducted by the Mustel Group for the GreaterVancouver Board of Trade.

Part of those results can be found on page 1 about what Burnaby residents think about fighting the Trans Mountain pipeline.

But there was much more to the questions being asked of Burnaby residents.

They covered a number of important issues, and this is what people said: The majority of Burnaby and NewWestminster residents think their municipal government has the most impact (42 per cent) on quality of life, or at least the same impact (35 per cent) as other levels of government. But when it comes to affordability in MetroVancouver, they tend to think their municipal government has the same impact (32 per

cent) or less (36 per cent) than other levels of government. Only 24 per cent think they have the most impact.

As found region-wide, a clear majority of Burnaby residents (64 per cent) believe the quality of life and affordability in the region have declined in the last five years, and they expect the situation to worsen (53 per cent). Only nine per cent expect the situation to improve. Over half of Burnaby (and NewWest) residents, 56 per cent, have considered moving away from the re-

gion due to quality of life or affordability concerns, higher than the average across the region (46 per cent).

Three issues were identified as top priorities: 1. Local road maintenance and traffic management.

2. City services such as waste collection, water and sewer.

3. Social housing and poverty reduction.

With a civic election just weeks away, everyone running for office on Oct. 20 should take note of what local residents think.

DON’T IGNORE PROP REP Speaking of voting, the future of B.C. politics could potentially undergo a radical change, but unless voters wake up and pay attention, they might not notice until it’s too late.

That’s the concern with the campaign for the proportional representation referendum overlapping with elections for city councils and school trustees, although the actual prop rep mail-in vote doesn’t start until after the Oct. 20 civic elections.

That’s when voters will

decide whether to stick with the existing first-past-thepost electoral system or move to proportional representation.

With this big issue at stake, it’s important for voters to educate themselves.

Go online and you’ll find all sorts of events going on discussing the referendum.

Municipal elections are important, and we all need to pay attention to who represents us at the local level.

But we should all also take the time to learn about the potential changes to how we vote provincially.

Too many listen to Dr. Internet For decades, British Columbia has been a popular destination for Canadian retirees.

Two years ago, the number of seniors in our province prompted the previous provincial government to call for changes in healthcare funding, essentially abandoning the per-capita transfer in favour of a formula that would take into account the age ranges of each province’s population.

Our province’s aging population also includes doctors. In a recent letter, former provincial health officer Perry Kendall outlined a severe problem that may affect the health-care system for years to come. Many family practitioners are entering retirement age, and their patients face uncertainty about what will happen to existing practices and who will be there to see them when they require attention and care.

With this backdrop, Research Co. asked British Columbians about specific ways in which they are using online tools to take better care of themselves.The survey shows a province that is actively using the web to learn more, with the expected variations across gender, age and region depending on the topics of interest.

It is not surprising to see that more than two-thirds of British Columbians (68 per cent) have searched online for information about a particular illness or condition in the past year.We are more connected than ever before, and it is remarkably easy to learn more about ailments than it was two de-

cades ago.

Still, as is the case with the prevalence of “fake news” stories designed to look legitimate, some websites may be providing people the wrong kind of advice. Internet users may be overwhelmed by the number of hits a search engine can give them.

What we are researching online, and when, is of particular interest. Almost half of British Columbians (47 per cent) have looked for information about nutrition, exercise and weight loss online.There is a sizable gender gap, with 54 per cent of women going online to learn more about these topics compared with just 41 per cent of men.

More than a third of British Columbians (35 per cent) go online before and after visiting their doctor.

Some residents appear to be arriving at the doctor’s office armed with information gathered online. Others seem to be getting a “second opinion” from the web after spending time with their general practitioner.

There are generational differences when it comes to combining online research with visits to the doctor.

Residents aged 18 to 34 are significantly more likely to check online before seeing the doctor.Those aged 55 and over are more likely to put the recommendations of their doctor to the test.

Baby boomers also lead the way in a particular category – searching for information about prescription drugs.

Council fights over butting out

Burnaby politicians butted heads at a council meeting over whether or not to gather info on a Toronto smoking bylaw flip-flop.Though Burnaby council had voted unanimously a month earlier for a 100 per cent non-smoking bylaw for restaurants and public areas, Coun. Nick Volkow asked for a staff report on Toronto’s decision to relax its own bylaws. Calling Toronto’s vote “the ultimate in hypocrisy,”Volkow’s motion was seconded by Coun.

Derek Corrigan. Burnaby’s council split on Volkow’s request, with the motion tossed into the ashtray.

BFC candidates have a good chance once the real campaigning begins Editor: Burnaby First Coalition doesn’t stand a chance, NOW letters, Aug. 29 I agree that Mike Hurley’s mayoral campaign is off to a good start, but I can’t agree that BFC does not stand a chance. The Burnaby Greens, BCA and BFC are not campaigning very aggressively at the moment.

In 2014, Burnaby First candidates for both council and school board came within 4,000 of being elected and, in fact, some Burnaby First candidates did win the most votes at individual polling stations. Running a slate of candidates for a second time usually produces better results. It should be noted that in 2014, over 100,000 eligible voters didn’t even bother to vote.

Now that the financing rules have been evened out a little, and there is considerable resentment towards the ruling BCA, especially over demovictions, I believe that another BCA sweep is most improbable.

I don’t make predictions haphazardly; I myself am a former longtime BCA supporter and have had two neighbours already volunteer to pick me up a BFC lawn sign once they are available.

My prediction is that we’ll have a new mayor and that the other positions will be won by an assortment of parties. In essence, my prediction is for that which other communities consider normal.

Sarah McDonald, Burnaby

Internet is no substitute Continued from page 6

While 41 per cent of British Columbians have conducted online research about dosage and side effects, the proportion jumps to 49 per cent among those aged 55 and over.

Millennials are more likely to have looked for information about mental health, including anxiety and depression (32 per cent, compared with the provincial average of 23 per cent).

Many of these interactions included a visit to the general practitioner, but there is a problematic statistic that suggests more needs to be done to improve the province’s doctor-patient ratio.

About one in six British Columbians (16 per cent) acknowledge that they diagnosed or treated a medical condition on their own, without consulting a doctor.

While the internet can certainly help in clearing up misconceptions about health-care issues, the quality of information cannot be guaranteed. It is refreshing to see residents doing a bit of research before and after seeing their doctor, but the proportion of British Columbians who are going exclusively with what the internet tells them is worrying.

The internet cannot be a substitute for a consultation with a physician. Improving access to general practitioners is the key to reducing the number of British Columbians who have no choice but to diagnose and treat themselves.

Claire Preston wants to bring her young, progressive and passionate voice to Burnaby city council.

The 31-year-old is launching an independent bid for councillor in the Oct. 20 civic election.

A self-described “politically left” and “democratic socialist at heart,” Preston described the ruling NDPaffiliated Burnaby Citizens Association as “quite conservative.”

Preston said her campaign will focus on two main issues: the environment and housing.

“I’m a big believer in social housing,” she said.

The current council, made up entirely of Burnaby Citizens Association (BCA) members, has done far too little to ensure the preservation and creation of affordable rental housing, Preston said.

“Up until recently, the BCA have been not working towards ending the housing crisis,” she said.

If elected to council, Preston said she would push for the city to buy up land and

Two independents, Rudy Pospisil and Claire Preston (featured above), are also seeking council seats.

Independent mayoral candidate and former firefighter Mike Hurley is currently the only declared mayoral candidate seeking to unseat longtime incumbent Derek Corrigan of the BCA. So far, only the BCA and Greens have announced school trustee candidates.

The BCA is running seven people, in a bid to sweep all local seats for a fourth time in a row. Incumbents Larry Hayes and Gary Wong will be joined by Suresh Bhayana, Bill Brassington, Peter Cech, JenYang Mezei and Ryan Stewart on the BCA ticket.

Christine Cunningham and Emily Zhang appear to be the only trustee candidates the local Green party plans to nominate.

City now Fire destroys vacant home

UP IN SMOKE: Flames can be seen in the distance as an old

home in the Metrotown area was burning when firefighters arrived on Tuesday night. PHOTO BURNABY FIRE DEPARTMENT

Burnaby firefighters knocked down a suspicious fire in a vacant Metrotown house Tuesday night.

The fire started shortly before 9 p.m. in a two-storey, single-family house at 6433 McKay Ave. Flames were showing out of the back of the building when firefighters arrived, according to deputy fire Chief Darcy O’Riordan.

“Soon after, flames were licking out of the roof, so it was burning through,” he told the NOW. The house was among several vacant single-family homes enclosed in construction fencing and slated for demolition.

Crews battled the blaze from the outside because abandoned buildings pose risks, like holes in the floors, for firefighters, according to O’Riordan.

The fire department left a truck at the scene all night in case the blaze sparked up again, he said.There were no reports of any occupants or homeless people living in the building, but fires at vacant buildings are usually treated as suspicious, according to O’Riordan.

“It didn’t start on its own,” he said.

Communitynow End the tattoo shaming Mommy’s

GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

As a biracial woman, adoptee and mother of three, I’m no stranger to social biases. So when I went for my long-awaited tattoo to celebrate an upcoming milestone birthday, I knew I’d receive mixed reactions.

While I may have received the odd, “What will your kids think?” and “Aren’t you worried what it’ll look like when you’re an old granny?” – the responses so far have been overwhelmingly positive.

When I heard that a Facebook Page called “Your Tattoos MakeYou a Horrible Mother” existed, which displayed slogans such as “Shun the Gun,” “Think BeforeYou Ink,” and “MomsWithout Tattoos Have ChildrenWith Futures,” I thought it was a joke. Not only did this page discourage tattoos – especially on women who are soon-to-be or existing mothers – but it spread fictional conditions related to get-

ting tattoos, such as “Fetal Ink Syndrome” (birth defects caused by getting tattoos while pregnant), “Tattoorettes Syndrome” (uncontrollable profanity as a side effect of getting tattoos) and “Inkrage” (getting tattoos causes violent, aggressive behaviour).

These conditions may sound like punchlines to tasteless tattoo jokes, but the followers of this page actually believed them to be true.

Thankfully, after a petition ran on change.org, calling out the group as promoting hate speech, the page was shut down.

The reality is, while we work towards becoming a more inclusive and accepting society, a stigma still exists when it comes to those with tattoos, and women, in particular, are at the receiving end of the body-branding backlash.

According to a survey conducted earlier this year, 29 per cent of males in Canada, and 36 per cent of females in Canada have at least one tattoo. And while women exceed men in ink stats, it seems to be the

women who suffer the most from the stigma that still exists.

In a post on the site Café Mom that shares the ridiculous things that have been said to moms with tattoos, one mom shares, “My partner and I both have tattoos and piercings, but I’m the only one who has gotten shamed out loud for it. No one calls him a ‘bad dad.’”

It’s time to stamp out the stigma that surrounds tattoos.

Moms seem to bear the brunt of the shaming, and the judgment is unwarranted.

Let’s stop misjudging moms with tattoos and recognize that their ink is a symbol of courage, creativity and character.

Ink, or ink-free, all mothers are faced with a slew of biases, and it’s time for these biases to stop.

Decorated skin doesn’t dissolve the love of a mother, nor does it reflect what exists on the inside.

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A veteran Burnaby elementary school teacher is among the finalists in the inaugural Premier’s Awards for Excellence in Education.

Lakeview Elementary Grade 3/4 teacher Nancy Sinclair is one of three finalists up for the Extracurricular Leadership Award.

Sinclair, who’s been teaching for three decades, was nominated by her school’s parent advisory council, with supporting letters from the chair and vicechair, as well as from Lakeview’s principal.

The longtime teacher coaches the school’s trackand-field and cross-country teams, takes students on an annual overnight camping trip and runs an afterschool primary skipping club, school stitchery and knitting clubs and the school’s juice

box recycling club, which raises money for field trips.

Sinclair is also known for attending students’ weekend sports or fine arts activities and researching and connecting students and parents with extracurricular activities and clubs in the

community that are available and affordable.

“Throughout the school year, we [parents] have witnessed Mrs. Sinclair build resiliency in her students, develop their sense of social responsibility and hold them accountable for their choices and actions,” stated one letter supporting the award nomination. “The sense

of community amongst the students and parents is nothing short of remarkable.

Mrs. Sinclair is so appreciated and relied upon by the parents that she is truly a pillar of Lakeview Elementary community.”

Out of a total of 188 nominations, 27 educators from across the province have been named as finalists in nine categories in the first-ever Premier’s Awards for Excellence in Education, launched in April to recognize teachers, administrators and support staff who go above and beyond to make life better for B.C. students.

Winners, who will be announced at a ceremony at Government House inVictoria onWorld Teachers’ Day (Oct. 5), will receive a $3,000 personal bursary for professional learning and a $2,000 contribution to their school community for professional learning.

Celebrating the Value of Volunteering Celebrating Volunteer Grandparents

By Maria Pollock Volunteer Grandparents has been bridging and enriching generations for 45 years and it is definitely something to celebrate! Since 1973, Volunteer Grandparents, as a non-profit organization, has been dedicated to building positive, intergenerational connections between children and older volunteers throughout Burnaby and the Metro Vancouver area. It facilitates these relationships through its three programs: Family Match, School Grandparents, and Ambassadors.

Veronica Grossi, the program manager, is responsible for screening and matching volunteers with families. During the matching process she “looks at a number of different parameters, such

as values expressed by the senior and the family, common interests, proximity, and of course, personalities.”

On July 28th, Volunteer Grandparents held their Volunteer Appreciation Picnic which was also used to celebrate their 45th Anniversary. Grossi describes the picnic not only as a fantastic way to recognize the valuable contributions of their volunteers but also as a “good opportunity for new participants that enroll in the program to connect with volunteers who are waiting to be matched [because] the meetings can sometimes evolve organically into a match.”

When asked what the most rewarding moment in her position has been, she recalls meeting the founder, Marjorie Anderson five years ago. “I’m so happy I was able to meet her… because she shared her past experience with the program, the behind the scenes with securing funding and she gave me such kind words of encouragement – it was all very full circle,” says Grossi. When asked where she hopes the organization is 45 years from now, she explains that she wishes that Volunteer Grandparents “expands so more people are able to get matched and there are less wait times for families.” Additionally, she says that “it’d be nice to have more permanent core funders to ensure the longevity of the organization and free up time to focus on more programming.”

If you’re interested in Volunteer Grandparents, you can visit https://www.volunteergrandparents.ca or call (604)-736-8271 to learn more about their programs. The organization accepts applications from both families and volunteers on an ongoing basis and would be thrilled to welcome you!

The art of preparing mollusks Chef Dez

ON COOKING editorial@burnabynow.com

As the final entry of a three-part series on shellfish, this article will focus on mollusks.

Basically, seafood can be broken down into three main categories: fish, crustaceans and mollusks.

Mollusks are then divided further into three groups: bivalves, gastropods and cephalopods.

Bivalves have two sides of a shell that are connected by a hinged ligament, like clams, scallops, oysters and mussels.

Gastropods are contained in a single shell, like abalone or snails.

Cephalopods have no external shell but have internal cartilage or a bone, like octopus or squid.

Clams, oysters and mussels are the most popular and usually purchased fresh and alive, rather than frozen.

At your local market, they are kept in open tanks of circulating water for one

to choose from.The circulating water helps to purge them of any sand or grit they may contain.

Once purchased, keep them moist and tightly wrapped in your refrigerator.

Clams and mussels are most commonly cooked live with their shell intact, while oysters are usually shucked first and then prepared with or without their half-shell.

This being said, clams and mussels are the easiest to prepare. Just prior to cooking, rinse them under cold water, and with mussels remove any foreign stringy matter – this process is called “de-bearding.”

If any appear to be open, a couple of light taps on the shell should cause it to close. If this does not happen after repeated attempts, they could possibly be dead and should not be used.

Comparatively, once cooked, any that do not open should be discarded for the same reason.

The cooking process is quite simple. All one requires is a contained steam-

ing environment for approximately three to five minutes. Once cooked, their hinged shells will open, exposing the inner flesh, thus being your signal that they are done and should be served immediately at this point.

This contained environment can be as simple as a steamer over boiling wa-

The shells add a tremendous visual aspect to the dish

ter, or, for more flavour, immerse the mussels in a boiling sauce or broth covered with a tightly fitting lid.

When serving, do not remove the clams and mussels from their shells.The shells add a tremendous visual aspect to the dish being served and prolong the dining experience by having your guests do the extracting as they consume the dish.

This makes for a more “hands-on” effect and is what makes the meal enjoyably different and tactile.

Abalone are quite rare in most of Canada, and snails (escargot) are usually only available processed in cans.

Escargot are often prepared simply by broiling them in garlic butter and served with chunks of bread for dipping.

From the cephalopod grouping, squid (calamari) is more popular than octopus.

Although both can be quite tough, octopus are usually more so.

Squid are prepared for cooking by cutting and discarding the head, beak, and internal plastic-like bone.

The tentacles and hollow body are then rinsed, with the body most commonly cut into rings. Sometimes the hollow body is left whole, and then stuffed and grilled or baked.

Guitarist onstage with Soultrax A Burnaby guitarist is centre stage for a tribute to George Benson.

Olaf De Shield, lead guitarist/vocalist for Soultrax, will be onstage at Blue Frog Studios in White Rock on Friday, Sept. 21 in A Tribute: Benson, Breezin’ and the B3 Organ.

The concert, put together by De Shield and Fran Jaré – who plays the digital B3 organ – is a tribute, retrospective and reimagining of Benson’s career, spotlighting well-known songs

by Benson. It will take audience members all the way back to 1966, when Benson’s first CBS record, It’s UptownWith the George Benson Quartet, was released, featuring organist Lonnie Smith.

A press release about the concert notes that De Shield is known as a “guitarist’s guitarist,” with a craft that encompasses a wide range of blues, jazz and infectious rhythms.

Social issues are also business issues Paul Holden

BURNABY BOARD OF TRADE

When I describe the Burnaby Board of Trade to people, one of the first things I mention is that we believe in the “triple bottom line” – caring about economic results, advocating for environmental responsibility, and caring about social outcomes.While this usually elicits nods of approval, I do often get looks of confusion too.Why would a business association care about social issues?

In fact, for many years the Burnaby Board of Trade has advocated that social issues are business issues and that businesses care about the health of their communities.

And why wouldn’t they?

Local businesses are far more successful when they are part of a thriving community, and the social issues facing a community can either undermine that success or contribute to it. If a com-

munity suffers from crime, a lack of education, poor health outcomes or any other social issue, the businesses operating in that environment will likely struggle to be as successful as they otherwise would be.

Specifically, one needs to look no further than the matter of homelessness to see a complex, social issue that can have direct impacts on the strength of the business community.

Homelessness – whether visible people on the street and in shelters, or the unseen people at risk of homelessness that are sleeping in cars or on a friend’s couch – is a social issue that can reverberate through a community and have effects on local businesses, both directly and indirectly.

The potential direct impacts of homelessness are obvious, as visible street homelessness can discourage customers from shopping at a particular business or from visiting a particular business district.

Tells Past Present and Future Helps in all Life’s problems, such as; • Love Life • Family Matters • Legal Issues • Business Matters

However, the indirect impacts of homelessness can have just as significant an effect on business by undermining the economic health of a community. Homelessness saps those who experience it of their potential to be full economic actors in the community and to contribute to our shared success. And it isn’t hard to understand why: without housing, an individual will have a very hard time being the paying customer, diligent employee or reliable supplier that our local businesses need to grow and succeed.

In recognition of this, the Burnaby Board of Trade has long advocated for business to be part of the discussions around addressing social issues and has participated in various initiatives and efforts.

In fact, that is why last week the Burnaby Board of Trade spoke out in favour of the supportive housing facility being proposed in Burnaby on Norland Avenue,

and in particular supported the project’s scope and focus on Burnaby, its builtin supports to help lift people out of homelessness for good, and its location near city hall instead of in a residential or business district.

While Burnaby does not suffer from the levels of homelessness that many other cities in our region do, it is nevertheless an important concern, and the proposed Norland Avenue project provides a unique opportunity for Burnaby to make considerable inroads in addressing this social issue for the benefit of everyone, including our businesses.

So yes, social issues are business issues and matter to local companies.That’s why I’m proud that our Burnaby Board of Trade business community continues engaging and supporting actions and solutions that address them.

Paul Holden is president and CEO of the Burnaby Board of Trade.
