Funding shortfall frightens families Jennifer Moreau staff reporter
When Wendy Tremblay received a seemingly innocuous call from her brotherin-law George, telling her they needed to buy bread, she was floored. “A year ago, George didn’t know how to dial a phone. To me that was mind blowing,” she said. George Tremblay, who has an intellectual disability, is one of many people who receive help from the Burnaby Association for Community Inclusion. He’s been con-
nected to the organization for two decades, he’s learned some basic life skills – how to use a phone, for instance – and he’s employed in a work program where he earns some money. To Wendy and her husband Dan, the support BACI offers people like George is invaluable, and local families are upset and worried those resources are under threat, thanks to a funding shortfall resulting from what Burnaby MLAs describe as a case of bad faith bargaining from the provincial government. But the Tremblays aren’t the only family with serious concerns about BACI, and whether the group is receiving proper
funding to help what they describe as the most vulnerable people in society. At least five families with loved ones connected to BACI have formed an ad hoc group called All Families First, and they are upset at what they see as chronic underfunding on behalf of the government. Burnaby resident Sonya Wachowski is also part of All Families First. Sonya has a sister, Moordryd, who has learned to navigate the public transit system on her own, with the help of BACI. Sonya wants a full life for Moordryd, where she can work, and share her gifts with society. But with continual underfunding, Sonya has serious

concerns about BACI’s staffing. “I’m worried that with these continued cuts, the staff are going to be so demoralized, good people are going to be lost, … good people that care about my sister are going to leave this profession, … and what are we going to be left with? The worst case scenario is groups like BACI end up disappearing.” BACI’s latest funding issue is connected to confusion around the bargaining table with the provincial government.

Federal NDP leader Thomas Mulcair visited Burnaby to talk about transit with Mayor Derek Corrigan on Saturday. Corrigan described the meeting as “very interesting.” “(It) was about transit issues, and funding of transit and the choices for the future,” Corrigan said, adding that Mulcair also met with North Vancouver mayor Darrell Mussatto. “(Mulcair) came over to talk to me about my take on some of the transit issues, because the NDP is making a commitment to looking at an expanded funding for public transit across Canada as part of their election platform.” Mulcair said the NDP has a bill proposing to invest more in transit infrastructure. – By Jennifer Moreau, staff reporter Follow at twitter. com/@JenniferMoreau

impression that the provincial government would fund a three per cent wage increase for their employees. But after the contract was signed, the organizations learned they would have to find savings out of their own budget, without cutting services, to cover the wage increase. For people like Wendy and Sonya, it’s just more erosion of an already underfunded resource they rely on to help their loved ones. The families are reaching out to other families and are considering approaching the government, once the provincial legislature is back in session. On Monday, All Families First visited Burnaby NDP MLAs Jane Shin, Kathy Corrigan and Raj Chouhan to discuss their concerns. “I don’t think it’s a communication problem, it’s a classic case of bad-faith bargaining,” Chouhan told the NOW.

The Red Chamber debacle sinks to new depths If you’re finding it difficult to keep few cats out of a few bags, including pace with what is now the roiling boil that the prime minister knew far more of our Senate scandal, you’re in good about the questionable expenses far company. earlier. Three Stephen HarperPamela Wallin and Patrick appointed senators, all accused Brazeau have also turned of misusing senate funds (and around to bite the hand that Burnaby NOW one of hitting his wife), are once fed them and named the facing suspension from the Senate. But Prime Minister’s Office. The strategy on they aren’t going down quietly. the part of the disgraced senators seems When Senator Mike Duffy showed to be along the lines of, “If I’m going up to say his piece this week, he let a down, you’re going to break my fall.”
OUR VIEW
To Harper’s credit, he did show up to face questions in the House of Commons this week, rather than have one of his underlings take the heat for him. He refuted Duffy’s claims, even though he must now admit he at least knew what was going on, which he denied before. Proroguing Parliament clearly didn’t work as hoped for the Conservatives. It remains to be seen whether the attempts to make the bad press surrounding the
expense scandal go away will hurt them more than the image of three Harper appointees fiddling expenses on a massive scale. Whether or not Harper survives the “What did he know, and when did he know it?” spotlight, this whole sorry debacle drags Canada’s upper chamber ever deeper into the muck. Our prime minister once campaigned for a Senate that was equal, elected and effective. Does anyone care anymore?
Liquor laws may be a minefield IN MY OPINION
O
Keith Baldrey
ther than its all-in approach to creating a liquefied natural gas industry and talking about growing the economy, the B.C. Liberal government is not particularly active when it comes to other initiatives. It is not a government bent on fixing all kinds of things or sticking its nose in a lot of people’s business. When the legislature resumes sitting next February, don’t expect a heavy legislative package to be put before the house (except for bills relating directly to economic measures). But there is a big exception to this light touch of lawmaking that will affect many people, and that is the looming overhaul of the province’s liquor laws. Changing the rules when it comes to alcohol use is always tinged with controversy, which is why major changes rarely occur. The last significant overhaul was done for the province’s Expo 86, although there has been the occasional tweak since then. B.C. Liberal MLA John Yap is heading up the review. The public consultation phase ends this week, and so far Yap has
received a blizzard of feedback. The website set up for the review has had more than 50,000 hits (average stay: 10 minutes), while there have been more than 100 email submissions and almost 60 meetings with stakeholders. It’s not surprising there is enormous public interest in the subject, given the evolution of B.C.’s laws governing alcohol. Framed against modern attitudes, some of the old laws seem downright bizarre, and it would surprise most people today that they once even existed. For example, how many people know that vodka (today’s most popular distilled spirit) was banned in B.C. until 1960? Or that music was only permitted in drinking establishments since 1954? Sunday openings only became legal as a pilot project for Expo 86, and that was the year that import draft beer was first available. Women were prevented from working in government liquor stores until 1962. But some odd laws still remain on the books, and I suspect many will disappear after Yap’s review becomes legislation. Licensees currently can’t change their prices during the day, which means no “happy hour” specials, a common attraction in most U.S. establishments. I’m betting that rule will be relaxed.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR MLA is failing on smart meters Dear Editor:
Once again, B.C. Hydro continues to hound smart meter holdouts with another letter, telling us what our choices are. And once again, our MLA Jane Shin does nothing but pay lip service to her constituents in response. In her letter of Oct. 9 (MLA speaks out on smart meters, Letters to the editor, Burnaby NOW), she said she has raised this issue with NDP energy critic John Horgan. Well, that’s fine, but there’s more she could do. On Thursday, Oct. 24 I phoned her office. I mentioned to her secretary (once again no Jane available) that that day was the last day to register for

intervener or interested party status with the B.C. Utilities Commission. This is in regard to having at least some say in the punitive rates set by B.C. Hydro for those who wish to retain their analogue meters, as well as a new fee if we don’t allow them onto our property. I’ve registered for intervener status, but what’s stopping Jane Shin? She hasn’t registered, and her secretary thought it was more of a personal matter. Not so personal if it affects her constituents, I said. Once again, we have an MLA who takes her direction from her own party only and not from the people who elected her. To us she offers tea and sympathy. But I guess we get what we deserve if you’re prepared to accept that BS. Jim Ervin, Burnaby

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Put blame where it belongs
Dear Editor:
We’re starting to hear much about the dangers of transporting oil by road or rail compared to – so the argument goes – the safer and environmentally friendlier pipeline. Not only are the three train derailments in as many months used to support this thesis, but the Fraser Institute’s very recent statistical study concludes “resistance to pipeline transport is sending oil to market by modes of transport that pose higher risks of spills and personal injuries such as rail and road transport.” The implication is clear. Those opposed to pipeline construction
are responsible for creating this state of affairs. But the reality is otherwise. The truth of the matter is that the tar sands oil industry decided sometime ago to increase bitumen production despite the lack of pipelines to handle the increase. In other words, it was the bitumen producers that created the current safety crisis, not those who oppose new pipeline construction. If oil transport safety really was a primary concern of the industry, wouldn’t they have slowed down rather than speeded up bitumen production? I mean, after all, it’s not as if the stuff is going to evaporate overnight. Bill Brassington, Burnaby
Booze: Tough decisions ahead owners argue the pendulum has swung too far in favour of restaurants and want the playing field levelled (one idea they are pushing for: allowing minors on the premises during the day, to join a parent for lunch, perhaps). Then there are the medical and law enforcement communities, which understandably are pushing back against any major loosening of rules that would make alcohol easier to obtain. So how far will the B.C. Liberal government go in this sensitive area? Talking about LNG and the economy is easy. But mixing alcohol with politics is a more potent cocktail, which is why the government will find it easier to cut red tape rather than make wholesale changes when it comes to booze. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Comment via BurnabyNOW.com I blueadept1: Corrigan is such a blow hard whiner. He needs to think a little bit before flinging out silly questions, complaints, and conspiracy theories. Comment via BurnabyNOW.com I Harmel Guram: I agree with you on the conspiracy theory part. It’s not a question of conspiracy theories when it comes to TransLink officials’ incompetence. The Mayor is right about the maintenance factor. TransLink can’t even keep escalators running. The one at Commercial-Broadway Station has been out for nearly 6 months. How did they manage to leave a loophole in the fare gate system? No brains, no conspiracy. Comment via BurnabyNOW.com I blueadept1: Vancouverites need to get their heads out of their a**es. No system is perfect, and asking for a perfect system would be inexplicably expensive (e.g. having a transit police officer on every vehicle). Cubic has its fare systems installed on 9 systems around the world, with many cities seeing far greater use than Vancouver. Incompetence would be choosing to build their own system.

There seems to be a general consensus that B.C. has enough outlets – public and private – that dispense alcohol, although B.C.’s wine and craft brewer industries would like more access and visibility in the marketplace. But there is one huge exception: Yap’s review has found the number 1 hot button issue is that people want the convenience of buying wine or beer in their local grocery story. The idea is viewed with considerable alarm by pubs and private store owners, who have invested huge amounts of capital in their operations and don’t want to be threatened by a momand-pop grocery on the corner. This is just one of the more controversial issues Yap will have to address when he hands in his recommendations to AttorneyGeneral Suzanne Anton next month. Another is that pub

As well, licensed clubs (such as a legion) have to prepare their own food on site and are not allowed to contract that service out, which seems unreasonable if not archaic. Did you know liquor tastings can only be done using plastic cups instead of glasses? Or that you can’t take a drink from a bar and into a restaurant, even if the two establishments are adjoining? Most of these rules and regulations fall into the red tape category and may be more easily dealt with than other, more complex issues that have come up in the review. The various stakeholders in the liquor industry – pubs, restaurants, private liquor stores, breweries, wineries, etc. – all have positions on a number of reforms they’d like to see implemented, or perhaps blocked. A number of them are contradictory as well.

CRIME
Burnaby RCMP investigate chocolate shop break-in BY CAYLEY DOBIE REPORTER cdobie@royalcityrecord.com
It seems someone couldn’t wait until Halloween to get their treat. Burnaby RCMP was called to Charlie’s Chocolate Factory on Canada Way on the morning of Oct. 20 after an alarm was triggered at the store. Officers from the department’s property unit and a canine team responded to the call shortly before 1 a.m. “A passerby informed us (Burnaby RCMP) that the front door had been smashed and he thought he heard noises inside,” said Staff Sgt. Maj. John Buis. When police arrived the store was empty and nothing appeared out of place, accord-
ing to the officers’ preliminary report. “It’s unknown at this time what was taken. Nothing (was) noted disturbed inside the business,” Buis said. “We’ve got some investigational leads that we’re going to pursue.” Police were, however, able to recover a surveillance video that shows the suspect inside the store. The suspect is described as a Caucasian man, 6-1, slim build and 30 to 40 years old with blond or brown hair. He was wearing a baseball hat, black jacket, jeans and black shoes at the time of the break-in. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Burnaby RCMP at 604-2947922. twitter.com/cayleydobie

each year, so if you’ve been to the house before, it’s a new display this season. This year, the family put in an estimated 40 to 50 hours, over the course of four weeks, to create the display. The Quartos have about a dozen family members and friends who contribute to the efforts. The Quartos’ display is at 4260 Dundas St. and will be

Mural triumphs over graffiti Stefania Seccia staff reporter
After a day of pressure washing and scrubbing, the whale mural in the Kingsway-Imperial neighbourhood was ready to face the world graffiti-free. Just a few weeks after unveiling the global mural project, Connected Oceans, which was a concerted effort by artist Todd Polich, of the Earth Foundation, and local youth, the mural was defaced with a large graffiti tag that covered it from top to bottom on Oct. 22. “(It) was a panic for me to see the damage that was done,” Polich told the Burnaby NOW. “Today (Oct. 23) was dealing with it and fixing it.” Polich was tending to the mural for several hours, and thanks to the coating he put overtop the mural, the graffiti was slowly but surely coming right off.
“It was really fortunate I put on a lot of protective coating,” he said. “I’ve never had to test it. This is the first time I had to test it. It’s holding up very, very well.” Polich said the company that originally donated the lift to paint the mural, donated it once again so he could clean. He also received cleaning material for free from the community. “I was getting text messages like crazy,” he added, from people who were outraged about the mural being defaced. “It was a beautiful thing that people really care and helped. “People in the community are so happy it’s coming off.” On Sept. 29, Polich and about 60 people braved the pouring rain to unveil the mural. He worked with about 18 students at the South Burnaby Neighbourhood

In April, the City of Burnaby gave a $3,500 grant for the mural to go towards its $9,300 cost. As for Polich, he said he’s happy that the coating has protected the mural.
“I felt defeated yesterday (Oct. 22). Today I feel much, much better,” he added. “It’s such a cool project the kids got involved with, Children’s Hospital kids painted with us. It would be a horrible thing if it couldn’t get fixed. I’m elated.”

Benefit concert helps Footlight Theatre
Julie MacLellan staff reporter
Footlight Theatre is taking a hiatus from producing its annual fall musical – but the theatre company isn’t going away. The Burnaby theatre company is holding a benefit concert, Friends of Footlight, on Sunday, Nov. 3. The star-studded concert will bring together a cast of Footlight alumni, along with a live band, to perform many of the hits from past shows, including Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, The Sound of Music, The Wizard of Oz, Grease, A Christmas Carol, Annie and more. Proceeds will be used to help Footlight Theatre Company continue its work producing high-calibre musical theatre productions. Jane Wace, a Footlight board member, said the decision to not produce a fall show this year wasn’t taken lightly. She noted it comes on the heels of four big shows in the previous four years. “They were fantastic shows, but the last couple were extremely expensive shows to do,” she said. She noted that Footlight – like all other arts groups, amateur and professional – is facing a tough time filling the seats for all its productions. “In the arts these days, it’s all the same. It’s tough to present something and get bums in seats,” she said. “People are not going
to the theatre as much as they used to.” She said the board felt it wise to be cautious and hold the benefit concert instead, in order to be able to come back strong with a mainstage show in 2014. And, she noted, the Friends of Footlight show is shaping up to be an amazing experience. It will include both chil-
dren and adult performers, with vignettes and songs from a variety of Footlight shows of the past as well as other Broadway musicals. Michael Creber will be on hand with his professional band, offering live music onstage. Wace said it will be an enjoyable evening for fans of musical theatre, and it’s designed to deliver
the message: “We’re still around, we’re still here.” “We’re all really excited about it,” she said. Friends of Footlight is on Sunday, Nov. 3, 7 p.m.
at Michael J. Fox Theatre, 7373 MacPherson Ave. Tickets are $19, $29, $35 or $75 for the Gold Circle – which includes the best seats, plus one complimen-
tary ticket to the group’s 2014 mainstage show. Tickets can be purchased online at www.tickets tonight.ca. For more, visit www.footlight.ca.

Target set to open at Metrotown in November staff reporter
Burnaby fans of Target will no longer have to travel outside of the city to score a deal at their favourite store.

City Sharcs take on waste energy Burnaby company turns up the heat with help from the sewers Janaya Fuller-Evans
staff reporter
There are many urban myths about what lurks in the sewers, but you wouldn’t expect to find a Sharc. However, if it is up to International Wastewater Systems, the sewers will be full of Sharcs in the near future. The Burnaby company is selling its sewage Sharc, which stands for sewage heat recovery, to building owners and developers to stop renewable energy from “going down the drain,” instead using that energy to heat and cool buildings. While it is a subject that makes many people squirm, CEO Lynn Mueller admits, the energy that can retrieved from wastewater is far too useful to let a little squeamishness get in the way, he says. “The strange part of it was that everybody seemed to recognize there was a tremendous amount of energy that goes down the drain, but didn’t really want to have anything to do

The company, located in Burnaby Heights, has a distribution network across Canada, the United States, the U.K. and Australia. The systems are self-cleaning and are also closely monitored by the company, which provides servicing for the lifetime of the units – about 40 years, he says. The company is ramping up staff and working on the systems to prepare for future growth, according to Mueller. “We want to be a $250-million company within the next 10 years,” he says.

hrifters may be interested in a new shop on Kingsway, where proceeds help children in Burnaby schools. The non-profit Burnaby Association for the South East Side – or BASES for short – runs the thrift store at 7666 Kingsway. The shop opened on Oct., 15, and things have been going really well, according to BASES member Peggy Woodruff. “We’re amazed with the amount of foot traffic, people just walking by and coming in,” she told the NOW. The shop sells clothes and household items, and things like tea cups and records have been going fast, Woodruff said. The shop is open Monday to Saturday, from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and donations are accepted during those times. The six schools that benefit from the shop’s
profits are: Edmonds Community School, Byrne Creek Secondary, Stride Avenue Community School, Twelfth Avenue Elementary, Taylor Park Elementary and Morley Elementary. Money raised helps pay for breakfast and afterschool programs and literacy initiatives.
Supporting kids
The Burnaby Teachers’ Association is hosting a free parents’ seminar on supporting children’s learning. The session is on Monday, Nov. 4, at 7 p.m., in the Schou Education Centre at 4041 Canada Way. Parents who attend can learn practical tips on supporting their children’s education, while exchanging ideas with teachers. “It’s an aspect of our community outreach,” said association president James Sanyshyn, in a press release. “We’re a teachers’ union, and we’re also a member of Burnaby’s education community. Parent seminars are Burnaby teachers’ way of giving back to that community – especially to parents, whose hard
work supports our work and the health of Burnaby schools.” To reserve seats for Nov. 4, email bta5@telus. net or call 604-294-8141.

Celebrating 60 Years of Serving Our Community
Farmland and forest speckled with patches of development: that was Burnaby in 1943. Phone calls were still connected through a manual switchboard, cars made their way through the city on roads that were mostly – but not always – paved, and families worried and wondered about their loved ones serving overseas in the war. The post-war growth boom was still ahead – and a serious boom it would be: in ’43, there was an estimated 33,000 people calling the city home, but by 1954, that number would more than double to a total of 75,000 residents. Fortunately that boom was already being considered and the call had begun for the city to have its own medical facilities. That year, on July 14, the Burnaby Hospital Fund Committee was formed to work on gathering information and ideas, raising money and beginning the long process of what would eventually lead to the opening of Burnaby Hospital. From the very start, the effort was one led, driven and fueled by the
very people who would use the facility: local residents. Men and women canvassed door-todoor, spreading word of the project and the fundraising efforts, while small groups around the city contributed through bake sales, raffles and garden parties. Early auxiliary groups worked endlessly in supporting the project. Even the youngest city residents got involved in the project. According to historical records, a suggestion went out among the local public schools – still only comprising a handful of schools throughout the young city - to rally the city’s students. Each pupil was asked to donate five cents to be used towards the costs of furnishing a ward. When all was said and done, $1,500 was raised through students, teachers and staff – enough to cover the cost of furnishing a complete ward. But furnishing wards came only after years of planning and preparation. Though organizing began in 1943, it wasn’t until 1950 that the official “sod
turning” took place on Smith Avenue, and 1952 before doors opened at the new hospital, with 125 beds. An estimated 8,000 people toured the hospital during its official opening – the population of the city was about 58,000 – and the building itself was a simple rectangular structure sitting atop a hill, mostly surrounded by farmland. Though small by today’s comparison, that facility was Canada’s largest suburban hospital and it was, from the beginning, much in demand. Within two days of admitting its first patient, the first baby was born in the building (nearly 100 babies would be born there that first year) and, by 1953, the facility was operating at full capacity. From there, the hospital’s role in the community only continued to grow. In 1959, the Centennial Wing was opened, doubling the hospital’s capacity to 250 beds. The level of expertise and care available to local residents increased too: in ’62, patients who had previously had to travel to Vancouver for orthopaedic surgeries were able to stay in Burnaby as surgical
capabilities expanded. Later, vascular and thoracic surgeries would be added to the critical care capacity, and new technologies are added through the help of fundraising efforts. The building itself kept growing, too. Another 147 beds were added in a new extended care wing in 1973, and then another 500 beds in 1977 with the opening of the acute care tower. As the hospital approached 30 years of operation, the phenomenal growth of both the facility and the city was clear: in 1982, more than 15,000 patients were admitted to the hospital and more than 1,000 staff worked in the facility. In all, 1,500 babies were born that year – compared to 98 in its first year of operation. Another major milestone was celebrated in 1982: the Burnaby Hospital Foundation was established as the facility’s official charitable organization. The foundation is still today an integral component of the care and work done at the hospital, as it raises funds to support the
highest priority needs and supports the staff in improving quality and effectiveness of care. The first auxiliary groups that worked to get the project going during the 1940s are still hard at work: now known as the Auxiliary to the Burnaby Hospital, the group of volunteer members has donated more than $2 million to the foundation and hospital over the years. In 1992, the hospital opened its palliative care program for terminally ill patients and in 1993, the hospital’s regional cancer centre opened with a grant from the Ministry of Health. As medical advancements continue, the need for ever-newer equipment continues: in 2008, a new $1.4 million CT scanner was introduced and, in 2009, a $4.85 million MRI unit was opened with funds raised through community donations, the province and the Keith & Betty Beedie Foundation. The last several decades have continued in the same fashion as the first few: growth, growth and more growth – and continued support from the community. And
that’s unlikely to change any time soon. “Burnaby Hospital’s history is built upon a strong spirit of philanthropy, evident in the fact that the dream to build a hospital in Burnaby began in the early 1940s with a group of concerned citizens,” says Cheryl Carline, president and CEO of the Burnaby Hospital Foundation. “Looking back, I don’t think this group of concerned citizens could ever imagine how much our community would change and grow—demanding more of its community hospital than ever before. … It is clear there is much work ahead of us. As we move forward, I am grateful to those who go above and beyond to help us make Burnaby Hospital the best it can be.” See www.bhfoundation. ca/60years/ for more information about the hospital’s history.

Honouring a life well lived Family donated funds in honour of loved one BY CHRISTINA MYERS If you’ve spent your life committed to giving back, there is likely no better way to be remembered than in a manner that continues – and honours – that tradition. For Jyanwati Nath, making a donation to the Burnaby Hospital ER department after the passing of her husband was a valuable way to help keep his community-minded spirit alive, and to recognize the care he received there. “It was very, very important to us to do this, because it was a way to give something back to the (emergency department) where my husband was taken care of so well and so many times,” said Nath. She notes that Gyanendra, who passed away in April 2012 at the age of 80, had various health complications through his final years, but she believes that the care he got in the ER on multiple occasions
significantly extended his life – and his ability to enjoy his family and continue doing the things he enjoyed. “It absolutely gave him extra life. I think he got an extra seven years probably,” she said. She says that one of the most notable components of the care in the ER was how quickly and efficiently different areas of specialty could be coordinated to assess and treat. But it wasn’t just the care he got there that motivated the family to donate more than $10,000 to the ward: it was also a life-long and firm belief in the importance of giving back and supporting the community whenever possible. Nath says she and her husband both believed strongly in the value of volunteering and lending a hand, from helping to raise funds to pitching in on community projects.
“We really appreciate Canada,” she said. “We came here (in the 1960s) when Asian migration to other countries was very restricted – England, New Zealand, Australia – but Canada welcomed us and we remember that always.” Both husband and wife (originally from India and Fiji) originally worked in education in Vancouver – Gyanendra was a wellknown secondary school teacher at Killarney for much of his career – and, through the years, volunteered in a variety of capacities in Vancouver and later in Burnaby. Giving back and getting involved was also a life lesson that sunk in for their three children, now adults with children of their own. Nath’s daughter Ragini Kapil – who followed in her parents’ footsteps into the education field – says some of her earliest memories involve volunteering at a local hospital with her siblings

Photo contributed and going door-to-door as canvassers for various fundraising efforts. “We’ve just always been involved, and that example came from both my parents,” she notes. “It was just part of what they stood for and what they wanted us to learn.” She says the decision to donate the money reflects the family’s gratitude for the care he received over the years, but also the values that were so
important to her father. “I think (my mom) felt very, very grateful for the help that had been provided by the ER staff and I think she wanted to help make it better for other people, for the future,” says Kapil. The donation was arranged about six months after Gyanendra had passed away. “It was still very difficult, a difficult thing to do at
Young life saved at hospital
Mathur, a high school student at West Point Grey, was born in the local facility 17 years ago. Last year, he was brought to the ER in terrible pain – from an appendix he would later learn was within a half hour of bursting – and had an emergency appendectomy performed there. They were both, he says,
“milestone experiences” - the latter an event that most likely saved his life. Mathur had been traveling from Amsterdam to Vancouver, returning from an event in Prague with his high school debate team in August 2012. By the time he landed, “the pain had overwhelmed my entire abdomen, crippling me with each passing second,” he wrote in a letter published in a Burnaby Hospital Foundation publication earlier this year, as part of the 60 Years of Caring celebration.
He notes he went ahead home, took some Advils and tried to tough it out, but by morning he was unable to move. His parents rushed him to the emergency department at Burnaby Hospital. From there, the team at the hospital quickly assessed him and, as soon as possible, he was moved to an operating room. A lifelong fear of surgery had him distressed, but he says the staff helped calm him, explain what would be happening, and walk him
“It brought such a closure – it made us feel good to know we had done it.” Nath says she hopes that others will feel compelled to think about how to get involved in their community and giving back.

through the process. “They will forever have a special place in my heart, and I am appreciative to them beyond words,” he wrote. Had the appendix ruptured, the surgery could have been much more challenging – in part because it was discovered afterwards that there was a tumour
on the organ – and quite likely life threatening. “I’m honestly not even sure if I would still be here today,” he said in a video segment on www. bhfoundation.com. “(I want to say) a big thank you from the bottom of my heart. … There’s no words I’ll be able to tell them how grateful I am.”
Burnaby Hospital’s emergency department sees about 70,000 patients visits each year (about 30 per cent of those are from East Vancouver residents, most of the remainder from Burnaby residents.) In all, the hospital conducts about 10,000 surgeries each year, and has more than 200,000 patient visits.

Young star on the rise Casino
Virgin
11-year-old Burnaby girl has lead role in new feature film
Kaitlin Cheung may be only 11 years old, but she has already achieved more than many actors much older. The young Burnaby actor is in the Philippines shooting the upcoming feature film Hope Rises, in which she has the leading role. Kaitlin – who was a recipient of the 2011 Young Artist Award for her performance in the short film The Perfect Gift for Flora – stars in director David Bolt’s story, inspired by his work with the Bring Me Hope Foundation. The foundation’s mission is to improve the lives of Chinese orphans. Hope Rises tells the story of young Hope, whose poverty-stricken and desperate father sells her into slavery. During a crackdown on the gang with which she is being held, an American filmmaker named Nate meets Hope for the first time. Amid the chaos of the gang crackdown, Hope flees and must fend for herself, eventually forming a family with some other street kids. She and Nate later reunite and forge a bond. Bolt collaborated with Brian Godawa on the story and screenplay, along with Austin Sheeley on the screenplay. “The story of the Chinese orphan deserves to be told,” Bolt said in the press release. “What Hope Rises has to contribute to that story has been gleaned from nearly a decade of firsthand work with discarded children. This film can save an orphan from a lifetime of pain and that, in 11 words, is how it came to be.” Kaitlin has worked on several other

Burnaby seniors need new bus
By Jennifer Moreau
B
urnaby resident Ethel Presly just celebrated her 79th birthday, and she wants to get outside more often. With help from Burnaby’s ScandiaCare Society, her wish may come true soon enough.
Presly, 79, lives in Dania, a Burnaby care home for seniors with complex needs. She can no longer drive and needs help with transportation, like many other seniors at her Burnaby home. ScandiaCare Society, which runs Dania, Normanna and the Swedish Canadian Rest Home, is raising money to buy a new bus to help seniors with transportation,
which is good news for Presly. “I want to go out more often, to enjoy life and be with people outside,” Presly said.“What we need is to have our own bus to take us anywhere and everywhere, a bus that can accommodate everyone who would like to join us.” ScandiaCare Society is hoping to raise $125,000 for a 24-seat bus with a wheelchair lift and rails, and removable seats for wheelchairs. The bus program, which the society hopes to have running by 2014, will serve residents from all three see pg. 24 …
Ethel Presly is one of many Burnaby seniors that would benefit from a new bus ScandiaCare is hoping to buy for residents of three local care homes. – Larry Wright/BURNABY NOW

The bus will also be available, for a minimal charge, to seniors in Burnaby who do not live in ScandiaCare homes but would like to visit the nearest facility for social activities, meals and
The bus will be available for all kinds of trips residents may need to make, whether it’s an appointment with the doctor or dentist, meeting
music programs.
“Social interaction is invaluable to seniors as it increases their quality of life and longevity. This program will be therapeutic and beneficial for seniors dealing with isolation,” said executive director Margaret Douglas-
Matthews in a press release.
While ScandiaCare has not formally launched the bus fundraising campaign, the society has already raised $53,000, which leaves $72,000 to go. Proceeds from a recent garden party celebration at
Normanna went towards the cause, and volunteers and supporters have been quietly collecting funding, according to ScandiaCare.
Meanwhile, Presly is looking forward to getting out and about in her community. “It would be healthier
and above all, change our outlook in life. Any financial assistance would be highly appreciated,” she said. To make a donation, email ScandiaCare’s development officer Linda Foster at lindaf@dania. bc.ca.
Fraser Health encouraging seniors to get flu shots for themselves T
urkey dinners, Halloween, school recitals and flu shots? There are many great reasons to get the whole family together at this time of the year, but did you know that flu shots are another good reason? While watching the wee ones in your family put on a costume may be more fun than a poke in the arm, making sure everyone in your family is protected for flu season means you can all enjoy more activities together. The flu shot is you and your family’s best defense for preventing the flu.
Influenza is a virus infection of the upper airway, and can lead to symptoms of fever, headache, fatigue and cough. Complications from influenza, such as pneumonia, are more common in the elderly and those with heart, lung or other health conditions.
An estimated 4,000 to 8,000 Canadians, mainly seniors, die every year from complications of influenza infection. Influenza is easily spread from person to person, and an infected person can spread the virus before they even know that they are sick.To prevent this spread, free flu shots are now available for seniors and for everyone in their household.
This year, seniors 65 years and older and those living in long-term care facilities, will again be receiving Fluad flu vaccine.This is an adjuvanted influenza vaccine, and a recent study conducted by Fraser Health found it can be more effective than the regular flu shot in the elderly. Free flu shots are available for the rest of the family, and new this year, children two to 17 years of age can get the nasal spray flu
vaccine, Flumist.

FULL ROADWAY CLOSURE OF BARNET HIGHWAY NEAR IOCO ROAD As part of construction for the future Evergreen Line Inlet Centre Station, a portion of Barnet Highway, between Ioco Road and Barnet Highway, will be closed for two weekends in November to enable crews to push a large concrete box into position underneath Barnet Highway that will ultimately contain the station platform and guideway. Lane closures will begin at 7:00 pm, followed by a full closure starting at 9:00 pm on Friday, November 8 until 6:00 am on Tuesday, November 12. If the work is not completed during this first weekend, an additional weekend closure will be implemented on Friday, November 15, beginning with lane closures at 7:00 pm and a full closure at 9:00 pm that will continue until 6:00 am on Monday, November 18. Two clearly marked detour routes will be in effect during the closure periods: > Drivers travelling eastbound on St. Johns Street will be detoured at Dewdney Trunk Road to Mariner Way. Drivers also have the option of turning left on Moody Street to Murray Street to access Coquitlam. > Drivers travelling westbound on Barnet Highway will be detoured on Ioco Road to Murray Street and will use Moody Street to access St. Johns Street. Drivers coming from Coquitlam may wish to use Dewdney Trunk Road from the Mariner Way overpass to continue travelling westbound on St. Johns Street. > Signal timings at key intersections will be changed to accommodate the changes to traffic flow, however drivers should anticipate delays.

Solara convertible best for safe driving fun Dear Tom and Ray: I want one more crack at a convertible, having had a wonderful Dodge Dart convertible in earlier years (it was stolen in Detroit when I left it with a company to replace the top and they parked it on the street – boo hoo!). Background: I’m 93 years

That means you can get into it without having to “fall” down into the driver’s seat, or rappel back out of the car with a grappling hook. That also means you’ll see better when you’re driving. I thought of the Mustang for you, too. But you sit pretty low in the Mustang’s seat, and I don’t know how tall you are (you didn’t mention a playing career in the WNBA), but you may feel a little bit like you’re

the Solara is the convertible for you. First, it’s based on the Toyota Camry, which means it’ll be durable, reliable, ergonomically practical and easy to service. RAY: Second, it’s a little bigger than some of the sportier convertible alternatives, like the Mazda Miata, the Mini Cooper or the VW Golf Convertible. And if you’re driving across the country, it’s nice to have a little room for your belongings and not feel cramped. Plus a slightly larger car will feel more stable on the interstate at high speeds. Not to mention that size
RAY: Well, first I have to ask if you’d accept a marriage proposal from my brother. He’s been looking for someone like you ever since Wife No. 2 changed the locks. TOM: I see you in a Porsche Turbo Carerra, Anne – as long as I’m not making the payments. I’ve made enough “payments” already, if you know what I mean! RAY: Actually, the car that first comes to mind for you is the Toyota Camry Solara. It’s basically a Camry with two doors and a convertible top. TOM: There are several things that make me think

Clan runners qualify for regionals Tom Berridge sports editor
Lindsey Butterworth led the Simon Fraser University women’s team to second place overall at the 13th annual Great Northwest conference cross-country championships. The Clan’s senior women’s captain placed fifth overall in a personal-best time of 20:41 on the six-kilometre course in Oregon on Saturday. It was Butterworth’s third consecutive fifth-place finish at the conference championships. Sophomore teammate Kansas Mackenzie placed eighth in 20:57, while Kirsten Allen rounded out the top-10 in a time of 21.57. Senior Sarah Sawatzky was right behind in 11th place and freshman Rebecca Bassett placed 15th in a personal-best 21:14 to also score points for the runner-up Clan. Bassett was also named the Great Northwest freshman of the year following the meet. “The course was fast, and it ended up being my fastest sixkilometre race this year,” said Bassett in a Clan press release. “I am really excited to compete at regionals and am hoping to run strong and help the team qualify for nationals.” Oliver Jorgensen led the Clan to third place with a time of 25:15 and a ninth-place finish in the men’s 8km race. Jorgensen also earned conference freshman of the year honours for SFU. Senior captain James Young placed 17th in a personal-best 25:41. Also scoring points for the Clan men’s team were Burnaby’s

In her wake: Simon Fraser University’s Lindsey Butterworth led the Clan women to second place after a fifth-place finish at the Great Northwest conference cross-country championships. Cameron Proceviat, in 26th spot, Brendan Wong and Stuart McDonald. “I’m really proud of both teams,” said SFU head coach Brit Townsend in the release. “They
took some risks, and it paid off with probably the best conference performances we’ve ever had.” Alaska Anchorage topped both men’s and women’s team titles. The West region qualifier will
be held in two weeks time in Spokane, Washington. The top five finishing teams at the regionals will qualify for the NCAA Division II national championships in Spokane on Nov. 23.
Bantam girl tops cross-country zones Tom Berridge sports editor
Glenbrook Middle School student Grace Fetherstonhaugh had quite a week of running. The Grade 8 New Westminster student dominated the senior and junior girls’ field at the BurWest/Richmond high school zone cross-country championships with a winning time of 16:46 last Wednesday. Fetherstonhaugh took the lead on the first of two loops on the 4.3-kilometre course and never looked back. “I tried to run close to the lead, and when I felt I could take control going into the woods, I tried to put some space between me and the other runners,” Fetherstonhaugh said. New Westminster Secondary’s Sarah Stewart and fellow Royal City Track athlete Emily Chilton finished in third and fourth place, respectively. Grade 9 runner Celine Loriot of Burnaby South placed sixth in the 78-girl field. South teammates Sara Eng and Jennifer Shannon also finished in the top 10. Robyn Lee of Burnaby Mountain finished in
seventh place. The Burnaby North team of Morgan Lai, Kristyn Lee, Alyssa Sommer, Zoe Loewen, Sophia Govorcin and Alicia Kan all finished bunched between 10th and 23rd place to finish first among district schools. In the boys’ 6.5km race, Byrne Creek’s Jemal Reta placed first overall in a winning time of 21:05, nearly half a minute ahead of the runner-up McMath student. Junior Liban Farah of Mountain finished in third place in 22:05. Grade 11 runner Alec Maloney of Burnaby Central was fourth in 22:14. Central topped the district aggregate, nipping Mountain by a descending point score of 51-54. Central’s Ashneel Varma came seventh, while teammates Josh Lim, Grade 8 Charles Yu, Santiago Ward and Andrew Liu also finished in the top 21. The Mountain team got points from fifthplace Andrew Woinoski, sixth-place Tim Woinoski, Stefano Fadi, Daniel Min and Lucas Ritter. Running Page 31

Malcolm Lee accounted for almost 300 total yards in total offence as the St. Thomas More Knights moved into a first-place tie in the Eastern conference of B.C. high school varsity football. Lee ran for 163 yards and one touchdown on the ground and passed for 123 yards and another score to lead the Knights to a 330 win over Mt. Boucherie at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex-West on Friday. But as good as the offence was against the Okanagan school, the STM defence proved every bit as timely. Kevin Marshall led the D with eight tackles and one interception. Middle linebacker Noah Usherwood also had a pick, seven stops and two quarterback sacks. Darthe Cappelan also sacked the QB on two separate occasions. “It was a nice finish for our defence to not allow any points,” said STM head coach Bernie Kully. “Our defence is much improved over the last few weeks. … Usherwood, Marshall and Jordan Mackenzie make our defence work. They are all athletic, disciplined and great tacklers. … Three guys on our defensive line (Raf Posypanko, Darius Mackay and Cappelan) also deserve full marks over the last two weeks.” Shane Noel scored two touchdowns for the Knights on 89 yards rushing, while Andrew Flett also scored on the ground. J.J. Deslauriers had 62 yards receiving, including a TD. The win moved STM into a first-place tie with Lord Tweedsmuir following that school’s 21-10 loss to Terry Fox last weekend. The Knights close out the regular season against W.J. Mouat at Burnaby Lake-West on Friday. Game time is 7:30 p.m. In junior varsity action, STM plays Terry Fox for the conference title in the Central division on Thursday. Game time is 3 p.m.

SFU SOCCER
It’s crunch time for soccer Clan Tom Berridge
Kelsey Robinson led Simon Fraser University to its second straight Great Northwest conference win and fourth this season in women’s volleyball last week. The SFU junior had 24 individual kills to lead the Clan to a five-set victory over visiting Montana State Billings on Oct. 24. Robinson, who is currently third in the conference in kills per game, also recorded 18 digs in a match that came down to a 16-14 tiebreaker. Alanna Chan led the Clan in digs with 25. Chan is also second in the conference in service aces, averaging 0.39 per game. Tamara Nipp and Brooklyn Gould-Bradbury had 30 and 25 assists, respectively, to help out the Clan cause. On Saturday, SFU lost a four-set matchup with third-place Seattle Pacific. Robinson led the Clan in kills with 21 winners and digs with 17. SFU dropped the opening set 25-19, but tied the match 25-21 with a second-set win. The third set was tied on 14 separate occasions before Seattle Pacific prevailed 25-23.

It’s shaping up to be a battle of the bigs in Great Northwest conference men’s soccer. With just three games left in the regular season, first-place leader Simon Fraser University will have have to prove its NCAA Division II fourth overall ranking to hold on to top spot. SFU’s toughest part of the schedule begins Thursday against fourthplace Saint Martin’s on Thursday. The final two games conference games pit top-three Seattle Pacific and Western Washington against the Clan on successive Saturdays, beginning on Nov. 2. Last week, SFU enjoyed a pair of 7-0 victories over conference lesser-lights Northwest Nazarene and Montana State Billings. It was the third consecutive 7-0 win for the Clan in conference play. Carlo Basso scored two goals in the win over Billings on Saturday, while Ryan Dhillon and Magnus Kristensen both potted a pair in the earlier win.

Douglas College earned a wild card berth to the Canadian Colleges’ national men’s soccer championships following a 4-3 shootout loss to Thompson Rivers University at the PacWest provincial championships in Nanaimo on Sunday. Nico Jecanski scored the lone goal for Douglas, knotting up the contest 1-1 with a telling strike off a corner kick in the 64th minute. Sahil Sandhu, who scored a goal and set up Shahbaz Khattra in an earlier 2-0 win over Langara in the semifinals, was named the tournament top forward.
conference in points per game. Saturday’s win was also the 100th victory for SFU head coach Alan Koch, since he took over the men’s soccer program in 2008. “We are very satisfied with the performances, and the results this week,” said Koch. “It is very rare that you score seven goals in a game against a qual-
ity opponent. We did that twice this week. We will enjoy the victory for now, and will start preparations for Saint Martin’s.” Clan scoring leader Colin Jacques also scored a goal in each of the wins last week to boost his firstplace point total in the conference to eight goals and

Joe Dolesau and James Reekie showed why the two Burnaby Lake backs are considered one of the most dangerous centre pairings in the B.C. Rugby premier division. Dolesau, fresh off an appearance with Canadian national men’s team at the Americas Rugby Championships,andReekie both scored two tries to lead Burnaby Lake to a 3010 victory over Castaway Wanderers at Windsor Park last Saturday. Burnaby Lake led 13-0 at the interval. Castaway scored early in the second half, but Dolesau, with his first of two five-pointer in the half, and Reekie, with his second try of the match, made the score 30-5 before Jonny Morris counted one more for the home team. Open-side flanker Doug Breadon led the visitors in total tackles. Burnaby Lake currently tops the table with a 3-0
