Big Sugar headlines Blues Fest Julie MacLellan staff reporter

Roots, rock, reggae, blues and soul are all on offer as the Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival returns to Deer Lake Park for its 15th year this summer. The festival, which is coming on Saturday, Aug. 9, has just announced its performance lineup – with some returning names and some first-timers, and young performers alongside veterans of the music world. Headlining this year is Big Sugar, who’ll churn out their unique blend of roots-rockreggae, soul and dub with double-neck guitars and flying dreadlocks. “Gordie Johnson and his Rasta brethren are well-known for their thundering live performances spiced with epic dub excursions that keep crowds grooving,” promises a press release. Also getting top billing is New Brunswick blues-folk guitarist Matt Andersen, who’ll take to the stage with the MelloTones. Bettye LaVette, a.k.a. “The Great Lady of Soul,” is joining the bill in celebration

City MLA says gov’t is destroying emails Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Burnaby MLA Kathy Corrigan is raising concerns that the provincial government is using a loophole to delete documents and hide them from the public. Last Wednesday in the legislature, Corrigan, the NDP MLA for Burnaby-Deer Lake, pointed to an email connected to the

Burnaby Hospital controversy that came up missing after a non-profit association filed a freedom of information request looking for it. “This organization requested a series of damning emails exposing a B.C. Liberal strategy to manipulate the community consultation report on Burnaby Hospital for the political benefit of the B.C. Liberals,” Corrigan said in the legislature. “The asso-

ciation was told the records had been deleted because they were ‘transitory.’” According to the provincial government, transitory is a term that applies to some drafts and working materials, mainly ones that are temporarily useful and may be used to prepare a “more ongoing record.” However, drafts and working materials related to program delivery or operations, decision-making or government activity are

In fact, the government is required by law to retain those records and release them, where applicable, in accordance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.

One-year-old La Luna is becoming a fixture at Burnaby Hospital and that seems to make the patients and staff very happy. La Luna is a bunny – a rare 10-pound English Angora bunny to be exact. Leela Densa, La Luna’s owner, brings her pet to the hospital once a week for patients to cuddle, stroke or just watch. “There are certain things that you can get from animals that you can’t from human beings,” said Densa. “Person to person you can’t express too much, there are certain things we hold in, but with pets, people seem to let it go.” Some patients aren’t animal lovers, so not everyone wants to hold La Luna, but according to Densa, overall the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Densa recalled one senior patient who was sitting quietly with his family. No one was talking to each other, but once La Luna was brought in, everyone started connecting. “They started talking, they started sharing and there were smiles,” she said. Densa, who works full time as a recruiter for an employment agency, got involved last year with B.C.’s Pets and Friends program, a not-for-profit organization that matches pets with patients in medical centres, after noticing how passionately people in her south Burnaby neighbourhood reacted when they saw La Luna, then just a bunny, out and about. “One day we were walking on the street and I saw this gentleman in a wheelchair and I didn’t know him, but when he saw La Luna, he gave a big smile and asked to pet her,” Densa said. Other passersby crowded

Densa and La Luna visit Burnaby Hospital once a week – they’re particular favourites on the seniors’ acute care and psychiatric wards. around and asked to hold or take pictures of the bunny. Kids came running to see the furry white creature. La Luna seemed to respond well to the attention so the incident made Densa wonder if her cherished La Luna could be useful in health care somehow. After a lengthy screening process, which La Luna “passed with flying colours” Densa and La Luna started visiting several wards at Burnaby Hospital every Sunday. La Luna is a favourite on the seniors’ acute care and psychiatric wards. “What it adds for these patients is a distraction or a comfort,” said Clare O’Kelly, manager of volunteer resources at the hospital.

“It takes their mind away from what is happening that may not be pleasant, and takes them away to a different place,” she said. O’Kelly said for some patients the bunny brings back memories of happier times, perhaps when they were younger and had a pet of their own, and that too gives them a break from the routine and stress of a hospital stay. But La Luna isn’t just popular with patients. The hospital staff too has really taken to having La Luna visit. “Working in the hospital is a really crisis driven job, and then here comes this rabbit for a visit. It allows them to step back for a

moment,” said O’Kelly. Not all bunnies are cut out for a job in health care, though.

She said for her the reward of seeing people perk up when they see La Luna means everything. “I like helping people,” she said.

New route being considered Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Kinder Morgan is pondering yet another route change for the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, one that involves drilling through Burnaby Mountain and avoiding the Westridge neighbourhood altogether. Kinder Morgan is now looking at a beeline tunnel from the Burnaby Mountain tank farm to the Westridge Marine Terminal, a route that would cut across the southwest corner of the mountain, instead of going around, as originally planned. “We’re required and obligated to optimize the study corridor, and what that really means is ensuring as much as possible we can minimize the impact as much as possible to people and the environment,” said Ali Hounsell, spokesperson for the Trans Mountain expansion. “Based on what we heard, in order to minimize the impact in that area, particularly to the neighbours, we’re looking at a selected study corridor that runs directly from the terminal through Burnaby Mountain.” The study corridor is a path of land the company is considering for the pipeline route. (The line’s exact route will be determined at a later date but will be placed somewhere within that corridor.) According to Hounsell, Trans Mountain is considering drilling through the mountain, a practice for more sensitive areas, instead of using

a cut-and-cover method. “They lay down the pipe in the terminal facilities, and they sort of pull it through using a drill technology,” Hounsell said. Kinder Morgan floated the new routing information at an open house on Thursday, April 3, to collect feedback from the public. The company also announced it would prefer the alternative route along the railway tracks in the south of the city, something the NOW reported on in early February, although Kinder Morgan would IN BURNABY not confirm or deny it. “At the time we didn’t have anything to present,” Hounsell said. “We knew we wanted to go out with it publicly at one time and provide a proper format for people to give feedback, that’s why we are doing it in this process (with the open house).” Some people are not happy no matter what route Kinder Morgan suggests. Burnaby resident Pat Howard and dozens of people in her housing complex were accepted as intervenors for the upcoming hearing, and she attended the recent open house only to sing protest songs outside. “There is nothing that they could do with the route that would satisfy me. I have to tell you that most of us are opposed to any pipeline com-

ing anywhere through Burnaby,” she said. “We think it’s outrageous to have it come to the Burrard Inlet.” Originally, Kinder Morgan put forward two Westridge area routing options in the application to the National Energy Board: a preferred route along Cliff Avenue, and an alternate route to the east, behind Pandora and Ridgeview drives. Now, the eastern option is considered the preferred route, although it has changed with the new plan to cut through the mountain. Howard characterized the route as a “moving target” with all the changes. According to the National Energy Board, it’s normal for a pipeline company to refine the route after the application has been filed and the public has already applied to participate in the hearing. “My understanding is it’s normal for a company to apply for certificate for a corridor instead of a specific route, so that they can hear from the public,” said NEB spokesperson Tara O’Donovan, adding that Kinder Morgan would have to change its application if the study corridor has moved, which it has. While the NEB has already announced who can participate in the hearing, O’ Donovan said the board would consider late applications on a case-by-case basis.

the phone and immediately reported it to police. While the scam didn’t work in her case, Williams says that’s not often the outcome. According to Williams, this scam is successful because of two main factors. Firstly, the average person isn’t very informed about credit cards and the regulations that govern

them, and secondly, many Canadians have thousands of dollars of credit card debt, making the scam extremely appealing. Many of these types of scams claim to be representatives from either major banks or credit card companies, which is an illegal act. “The only people that could actually lower your specific interest rate would be the bank that issued it or the

company that issued it,” he says. Williams says the best thing to do is to hang up and call the bank or credit card company that was quoted in the call and ask if they’ve been contacting customers. If they say no, call the police or anti-fraud centre right away, he adds. The anti-fraud centre website is www.antifraudcentrecentreantifraude.ca.

Ferries fares also went up again, co-ordinating with decreases to service expected to continue for several years. But ferries apparently aren’t part of the highway system, like they used to be. Upgrades to highways are now reserved for getting wealthy people to their sec-

That’s an amazing number of increases for a government that prides itself on balancing the budget without adding “taxes.” Unfortunately, the increases are still coming from the same place – your wallet. And that’s no April Fool’s joke.

Health system is making progress IN MY OPINION

Keith Baldrey

ave we finally wrestled that voracious gobbler of tax dollars – the public health-care system – to a standoff, if not to the ground? By that I mean the days of the system automatically devouring increasingly large amounts of money every year to feed itself may be drawing to a close, at least in British Columbia. Of course, I don’t mean the healthcare system will stop being the biggest area of government spending by far (the health-care budget this year is pegged at $16.9 billion, out of a budget of $44.4 billion). But the rate of growth in spending is slowing down significantly. The annual hike is down to 2.6 per cent this year, compared to just several years ago when it was above five per cent. Now, there are those who think this is bad news. After all, shouldn’t we be plowing even more money into the system rather than less? If we don’t, won’t health-care standards suffer? The answers are: a) not necessarily and b) no.

The ideological defenders of the public health-care system (who think the answer to everything is to blindly spend gargantuan amounts of more money) think the only measuring stick worth anything is per capita spending. In other words, B.C. should spend more dollars per person than anywhere else, and things will take care of themselves. But those with experience in the system, who study it and come up with good ideas for change, point to another, and far better, measurement: health outcomes. And in that regard, B.C. ranks the highest in the country. While we sit second-to-last in percapita spending (only Quebec ranks lower) we beat most other provinces in all kinds of areas: best cancer survival rates, lowest heart attack rate, longest life expectancy, lowest smoking rate, lowest infant mortality rate, etc. When it comes to wait times for certain surgeries (an admittedly frustrating situation for many people on those wait lists), they’ve been mostly going down and not up. The median wait time for a hip joint replacement has declined to 13 weeks from 19 weeks over the last 10 years, while a knee joint replacement has gone from 25 weeks to 18 weeks over the same time period.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Garden store doing the right thing

Dear Editor:

The recent article South Burnaby garden centre infested with fire ants (Burnaby NOW, April 2) highlights why it’s so important for gardeners and the horticultural industry to be aware of the dangers of invasive species to our province. Through provincewide cooperation and coordination, the Invasive Species Council of B.C. (ISCBC) is working to minimize the negative ecological, social, and economic impacts caused by the introduction, establishment, and spread of invasive species, including European fire ants. At the request of provincial government, we are working with a team of government and researchers

to develop an action plan to minimize the impacts of these invasive ants. We commend GardenWorks for their strong leadership and early action to address European fire ants at their South Burnaby location, and for their willingness to advise the public of the issue. We also applaud GardenWorks for their proactive efforts to voluntarily remove species of invasive plants from their shelves several years ago. They were an early adopter of the Grow Me Instead program and a key partner in our B.C.-wide PlantWise program, which is launching this month for another season. This situation shows that no one person or business can do this on their own. Business can make a difference by being informed and reaching out for

Building a good decision

Dear Editor:

I would like to address your article TransLink spends $1M renting space (Burnaby NOW, April 2). The building in question is a sound financial decision. In 2012, thanks to the federal gas tax, the budget to refurbish 114 Mark I SkyTrain vehicles was approved, keeping the system in a state of good repair. The refurbishment will prevent increased life cycle costs, as well as deter degradation in customer service – maintaining service levels and promoting system reliability. Part of the refurbish project budget includes leasing another maintenance facility as the current facility within B.C. Rapid Transit Company (BCRTC) is at

Health: Spending not whole answer continued from page 6

None of this is to suggest the health-care system does not need constant upkeeping and reform (crowded emergency rooms, for example, seem to be a chronic problem, and we could always use more nurses). But it is encouraging that blind yearly spending hikes are being replaced by newer, innovative ways of spending that are both efficient and lead to healthier outcomes for the users of the system. Not being able to count on big increases in funding every year has brought some much-needed discipline to the system, and employing some different models has also helped. One of the most significant changes that is paying off is the government’s relationship with doctors. In the past, physicians were viewed as costly, selfinterested cogs in the system. Now, however, they

are viewed as equal partners who have real responsibilities when it comes to running the health-care system. For example, several joint committees have been established with the Doctors of B.C. (formerly called the B.C. Medical Association) where doctors and the government shape policies that are aimed at improving patient health, rather than protecting the financial interest of either party. One committee is for general practitioner services (overseeing improvements to the primary care system), another is for specialist services (aimed at improving access to specialist care) and a third is for shared care (focused on better integration of all levels of care). As well, something called the Divisions of Family Practice has been created. It links family doctor practices and is

designed to improve common health-care goals in a particular region (improved maternity coverage, for example). Committees such as these were unheard of a decade ago. They appear to be improving patient care by focusing on smart, evidence-based decisions rather than on simply demanding more money, either for doctors’ pay packets or a health authority’s budget. The Canada Health Accord between the provinces and the federal government died last week. It means Ottawa will be cutting in half its annual transfer of money to pay for health care. The fact the B.C. government hardly said a peep about the accord’s demise is evidence of how much the system has changed in the past few years. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

capacity and does not have extra space to undertake this project. After reviewing our options, the Southridge Drive facility was the most financially sound decision, especially due to its close proximity from the maintenance yard at BCRTC. Otherwise, refurbishing the trains at any other location would require cutting the permanently connected two-car trains and finding additional transportation means to move the trains – resulting in substantial increased costs, risks and time. TransLink began leasing the Southridge Drive facility to prepare for the refurbish work. One year’s worth of preparation work was accounted for in the project scope. This included installing trackage into the facility (which is now complete) and construction of a train-painting booth (which is now in its final stage of procurement). The building is now 75 per cent equipped to begin refurbishing the trains, much of this was pending the City of Burnaby’s permit approval processes. That being said, the project is still on budget, scope and time. We are committed to maintaining this network in a state of good repair and to meet the needs of our growing region. The investment to refurbish 114 Mark 1 trains and thus lease the Southridge Drive facility is again, a financially sound decision.

Garden store gets praise for handling of fire ants Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

The Invasive Species Council of B.C. is commending Burnaby’s GardenWorks for dealing with its infestation of European fire ants, an invasive species known to swarm and sting people and pets. The council – a nonprofit, non-government organization – praised GardenWorks for “going public” about an infestation of fire ants at the Mandeville location in the south of the city. “Basically, if you get an invasive species, there are some people keeping it quiet, because they don’t want other people to know they’ve got (fire ants),” said Gail Wallin, executive director of the council. “GardenWorks said they’ve got it, and they are taking aggressive action.” The NOW first reported on European fire ants at the Mandeville location on March 31, after a tip from a reader.

Blues: Sales start April 11

Ant expert Robert Higgins confirmed that the centre had fire ants, but only after checking with GardenWorks to see

if the owners were comfortable with releasing the information to the public, which they were. “They could have said

no, and there are other businesses and other property owners that are keeping quiet,” Wallin said, adding that the business

Love as a memoir A

n author’s memoir will be featured at the Burnaby Writers’ Society’s next Spoken Ink night. Bertha Washington Walker will be on hand for the reading evening on Tuesday, April 15 to present from her new memoir Love at First Sight: A 1950s Interracial Story. A press release notes that Bertha knew at age 10 that she wanted to be a writer, but love and life took her in different directions. She began her working days in 1950 as a clerk-typist, took accounting courses at UBC and then worked as a financial controller at a micrographics company for 15 years. She started her own publishing business – which is now owned and operated by her son – and raised six children. She’s now retired and living in New Westminster. You can hear Bertha read from her work at 8 p.m. There will also be an open mike – signup for that starts at 7:30 p.m. The Spoken Ink event is happening at La Fontana Caffe, 101-3701 Hastings St. in North Burnaby. The reading series runs regularly on the third Tuesday of each month. For more, check out www.burnabywritersnews. blogspot.com or contact bwscafe@gmail.com.

Art in the neighbourhood: From left, Pat Sexsmith, Dianne Yard and Sheila Chowdhury with their work in the Gamma Garage

studio. They’re holding an art show April 12 and 13.

Meet the artists of Gamma Garage North Burnaby artists hold exhibition April 12 and 13

It was a somewhat accidental beginning for the Gamma Garage Art Group of North Burnaby. A press release from the group notes that Sheila Chowdhury’s daughter, Maia, left her UBC architecture school clutter behind when she moved to New York about 14 years ago. “You paid for it, Mom,” she said. “Maybe you can use it.” The only place to house it all was on the rough shelves of a back-lane garage that had a large skylight but neither doors nor heat. Slowly, that space acquired all these and more features. Chowdhury moved in her own art clutter too. Having trained, in England, to be an art teacher, but having followed other teaching directions, Sheila had continued to produce fabric art and had co-ordinated many school and Brownie group art projects.

“My art junk had reached critical mass,” she says. “By the time it was all housed, I realized I had an art studio.” Within the next few years, she was sharing the studio space with two neighbours: Pat Sexsmith, a Burnaby school principal who had retired to study art at Capilano College, and Dianne Yard, a nurse with long-standing ties to the B.C. arts community. They thought their neighbours would like to see what they were doing, so they put on an art show – with no intention of selling anything. Offers to purchase soon changed their focus, and the Gamma Garage Art Group was born. Now, more than a dozen years later, the group includes Wilma Cook, a friend from Roberts Creek on the Sunshine Coast. Last year, Cook brought a challenge to the group: Sechelt artists had produced a quilt-like painting and suggested that other art groups might do their own version. The Gamma Garage took up the chal-

lenge, and the results can be seen at this year’s show. The garage space “cleans up well,” Chowdhury says. “We can hang about 60 or more pieces, and the light is great.” There is room to include work from a guest artist, and this year Robin Timms from North Vancouver will also show For paintings. The styles and materials more photos, are already varied, so Chowdhury scan notes that including one more just with ups the interest. Layar “We’re a close-knit neighbourhood,” she said, “and we never expected our work to travel beyond that. However, we now have a loyal following, and we can certainly say our work is in many countries around the world. But none of us has yet had time to create an art website. We’re too busy painting.” You can see this year’s Gamma Garage Art Show at 232 North Gamma Ave. on Capitol Hill in Burnaby, on April 12 and 13. It runs from noon to 5 p.m. both days.

Local musicians onstage with orchestra Burnaby residents have been onstage with the UBC Symphony Orchestra this week as it tours Western Canada. The orchestra has performed in Salmon Arm, followed by three Alberta dates – in Lethbridge, Edmonton and Okotoks – before coming back home to British Columbia play in Kamloops and

Chilliwack. It caps off the tour with a performance in Surrey tomorrow (Thursday, April 10), when the ensemble takes to the stage at the Chandos Pattison Auditorium at Pacific Academy for a 7 p.m. show. The orchestra includes four Burnaby residents: violinist

Monica Chen; principal violist Angela Chen, oboist Diana Chan and percussionist Julia Chien. Performing under the baton of Jonathan Girard, the orchestra will play repertoire that includes Strauss’ Don Juan, Tchaikovsky’s Concerto for Violin Op. 35 and Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5. The Tchaikovsky concerto

will feature David Gillham, an assistant professor of violin at UBC, as the violin soloist. The Chandos Pattison Auditorium is at 10238 168th St. in Surrey. Tickets to the UBC Symphony Orchestra concert are free and available at the door. www.twitter.com/juliemaclellan

Morin served the city staff reporter

Severin Morin, a city hero and a key figure in Burnaby, passed away on March 28, at age 86. Morin had a long record of helping the community and was well connected to many local figures. “Everything he did was all about Burnaby,” said Gloria Staudt, a local Rotarian. “He did so much.” Staudt knew Morin through the Burnaby Board of Trade, where Morin was a liaison officer, and he was also an honorary member of Rotary for many years. “Even though he was an honorary member, he was more active. He was always very generous,” she said, adding that he helped out with Rotary’s annual wine festival. Staudt said Morin was in the hospitality industry for a long time and ran a restaurant on Kingsway. “It was the place to go for dances and dinners. It was the who’s-who’s that went to that restaurant on Kingsway, the Gai Paree,” she said. “He knew all the politicians, he was just a very kind and generous man. He knew everyone in the community.”

Meeting coverage pre-empted by hockey Jennifer Thuncher contributing writer

Resident politico watchers who like to take in Burnaby city council meetings from the comfort of their living rooms may have noticed there was not the usual live council coverage Monday night. Council coverage was rescheduled in favour of Game 3 of the Western Hockey League playoff finals between Victoria and Portland. Shaw TV sent an email to the city clerk’s office on April 1 advising that the April 7 council meeting would not air live, and instead WHL playoffs games would be shown. Monday night’s council will be broadcast on Saturday, April 12 instead, according to the email. If a Game 7 is necessary, the Monday April 14 meeting will also not air live but will be broadcast Saturday April 19. The email states this move is “due to Shaw’s commitment to live coverage of WHL playoffs for the 2014 season.” Coun. Nick Volkow said he sees this as just another step in Shaw’s movement toward a more commercial model and away from its Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications mandate to serve local communities. “This is a for-profit operation, the WHL,” he said. “When did that become community broadcasting?” Volkow said now, more than ever, it is important to broadcast the meetings consistently because fewer media outlets are cov-

ering Burnaby council than in years past. “There is a viewership that is very interested in what goes on, and they want to see the council meeting as it is happening and not delayed four or five days,” Volkow said. The city streams the meetings on its website, Burnaby.ca, but Volkow said that method leaves out a significant group of the population. “Not everyone has a computer,” he said. “But everyone has a TV.” Volkow said many seniors in particular don’t own computers and yet they are very interested and invested in what goes on at council. “On average Shaw TV airs 308 hours of city council meetings per month across the country alongside local celebrations, parades, festivals and education and a variety of sports including the WHL,” Shaw vice president of public relations Chethan Laksham told the NOW in an emailed statement. “Shaw TV chooses to air city council meetings because of our commitment to the community programming and to our viewers. We can assure our viewers that we do everything possible to provide them access to relevant local content.” Volkow and the Burnaby council took Shaw to task in 2012 when the company cancelled live broadcast of the meetings for the same reason, to cover hockey. At the time council passed a resolution to send a letter to the CRTC regarding the cancellation. The company reversed its decision a few days later.

Exercise boosts physical, emotional health HEALTHWISE

Dr. Davidicus Wong

uring the week of May 3 to 11, doctors throughout British Columbia will be promoting physical activity and literally walking the talk with their patients in a variety of community events. On Saturday, May 3, the Doctors of B.C. (formerly the B.C. Medical Association) will kick off the week with a free and fun two-kilometre walk at Kitsilano Beach Park in Vancouver at 9:30 a.m. I’ll be there with many of my colleagues along with our patients. Even if your doctor isn’t there, you’re welcome to attend. All members of the public are invited, but come early to get your free pedom-

eter. For more information about this event, check online at www.bcma.org/ walk-with-your-doc. Throughout this month, doctors across the province will be writing prescriptions for exercise, encouraging patients of every age to be physically active. To celebrate the World Health Organization’s Move for Health Day on Saturday, May 10, the City of Burnaby has organized a large number of free events, including community walks in many of our neighbourhoods, canoe lessons, boot camp, swimming and the grand opening of the outdoor fitness circuit at Central Park. For more information check the city’s website at burnaby.ca. Why the big push for everyone to be more active? Here are seven proven benefits of regular physical activity. 1. It decreases your risk for heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes and cancer. Exercise

also plays an important role in managing and improving chronic health conditions. 2. Physical activity prevents weight gain and can help maintain a healthy weight. It complements healthy nutrition. 3. It improves the fitness of your heart, lungs and muscles. Regular physical activity conditions your body to function better making everyday activities easier.

4. Regular physical activity prevents falls and improves cognition in older adults. When your limbs and brain are accustomed to movement, your balance, agility and ability to react improve. When blood flows better throughout your body, it also provides better circulation to the brain. 5. Weight bearing activity (i.e. walking) helps maintain bone density, reducing your risk for

osteoporosis and fractures. 6. Exercise improves sleep. Although vigorous exercise just before hopping into bed may be too stimulating, activity earlier in the day can improve the quality of your sleep. 7. Physical activity improves emotional wellbeing. For a number of years, psychiatrists have been prescribing exercise to their patients suffering from the symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Exercise has been shown to reduce stress hormones, such as cortisol, and increase endorphins which are natural painkillers and feel-good chemicals. Exercise also promotes a sense of accomplishment and selfconfidence. Dr. Davidicus Wong is a family physician.

Local daycare nets Prime Minister’s Award HERE & NOW

Jennifer Moreau

urnaby’s Rosangela Giacobetti won a Prime Minister’s Award for excellence in early childhood education. Giacobetti learned she won the award in late 2013, but local MP Peter Julian presented the certificate at a special event on March 19. Giacobetti has run Munchkin Land Family Daycare in Burnaby for 20 years. It’s for kids up to age 12, and she uses a lot of open-ended activities where children can explore, investigate and find answers on their own. “Now I do a little bit more of observing them as they play, so I can provide them with what they are actually curious about learning,” Giacobetti said. “It’s more child-centered now rather than being

teacher-lead.” The award is for outstanding educators who show leadership, exemplary education practices and success in fostering early childhood development and socialization. Giacobetti takes inspiration from ideas and methods developed in Reggio Emilia, Italy. Giacobetti has a long wait-list, especially for children up to three years old.

toddlers,” said Kristina Ducklow, a home economics teacher at Alpha. “They are interactive and stylish. I call them the haute couture of baby books.” The contest prize is a pizza party and plaque, and the books will be donated to the students’ friends, family and community members with babies.

Contest winners

Kudos to two Burnaby students who were singled out for their integrity and perseverance in overcoming adversity. Byrne Creek Secondary’s Dunya Aziz and Burnaby North’s Jialiang Li were both winners of a $5,000 scholarship through the Horatio Alger Association of Canada. Aziz and Li were among 20 B.C. students who received the scholarship, which goes to exceptionally motivated students who overcome difficult circumstances.

Congrats to Alpha Secondary students who won the 2014 Go Green Challenge, put on by Banner Bags at SFU. Banner Bags is a studentrun program that collects banners (the kind you see in cities, hanging from lampposts) and takes them into high school sewing classes where they are turned into bags.

Time for spring weeding GREEN SCENE

Anne Marrison

etting behind with weeding is surely among the top three gardening problems here on the West Coast. Some people like to smother weeds while others prefer pulling. Then there the mavericks who strew them on paths or mulch with them or even eat a few of the tastier ones. Young dandelion shoots can be used in salads. So can sorrel and cut-small chickweed. When boiled, young stinging nettles make a delicious (non-stinging) substitute for spinach. So do lambs quarters, though this cooks down to almost nothing. Chickweed cut small is a fresh-tasting salad green. But the most earthfriendly weeding tactic is mulching with plant material. It’s especially useful in organic veggie gardens. Natural mulch conserves moisture, earthworms

love to breed in it and if plant-based mulch is left on garden beds through winter, birds forage there endlessly. Gardeners with lawns find the cheapest and most easy to get mulch is grass clippings. It’s best to hold the clippings back slightly from tiny vegetable seedlings. You can move it closer as they grow. Since lawns also need nourishment, it’s best to keep grass length at about eight centimeters and sprinkle nutriments or compost on lawns in spring or fall. Once the veggie garden doesn’t need any more mulch, the clippings can just remain on the lawn. Other useful mulches for vegetables include straw – though some straw is quite seedy. Weed-free compost makes another good mulch. Commercial compost isn’t organic but it’s always weed-free. Home compost is variable. Wellcomposted manure is a good mulch for heavy feeders such as corn or rhubarb. When weeds get quite out of hand, a great job of smothering weeds and their seeds can be

done by black plastic. Unfortunately it tends to tear and fragment if left in one place for more than a year. Clear plastic breaks up even faster than black plastic. Cardboard or newspaper makes a good base for a garden bed of mounded soil and compost. Ultimately, both barriers rot so that deeprooted plants can establish themselves well. Boiling water kills top growth most effectively, though it should never be used in gardens anywhere near toddlers, pets or by people with balance problems. Other organic weed killers are usually based on horticultural vinegar. You may need to douse the offenders several times. When weeds get past the seedling stage, triage is sometimes necessary. Anything with seedheads, flowers or buds should be dealt with first. If there’s no time for pulling, at least cut them off so that crops or flowers can get ahead. Pulling is much easier when the soil is moist. Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden problems. Send them to her via amarrison@shaw.ca. It’s helpful if you can add the name of your city or region.

Not all GPS navigation systems are created equal Ray & Tom Magliozzi

Dear Tom and Ray: Do the different car companies offer GPS units that give different styles of navigation? I have a 2013 Nissan Rogue and have used the factory-

RAY: Traditionally, the built-in GPS systems were the best. They’re well-integrated into the car, they override the sound system when necessary, and they’re usually displayed on a large screen. TOM: The biggest disadvantage of the factory-installed systems is that they’ve been very expensive. So lots of people opted instead to buy portable, stand-alone GPS units that could be attached to the windshield with a

of installing the moreexpensive, larger, integrated units, they incorporated these cheaper, smaller, lesssophisticated GPS boxes. That’s what you got in your Rogue, Susie. You got a cheap little GPS. RAY: A final option on the market now is your smartphone. A lot of people are abandoning GPS units altogether now in favour of their phones. Google Maps, which is available for free on most smartphones, generally provides excel-

suction-cup-based mount. These are made by companies like TomTom, Garmin and Magellan. RAY: These portable units cost as little as $100, and they vary in quality, too. But a good one with a larger screen, like the highly rated Garmin 3490 or 3450, can be had for a few hundred dollars. TOM: So a few carmakers, especially on some of their less-expensive models, decided to do what consumers were doing. Instead

lent directions. In general, though, these days we’d recommend a highly rated portable unit for most people. So if you’re not happy with the cheap GPS system that came with the Rogue, Susie, just don’t use it. Buy one of the Garmin Nuvi 3000 series (or 2400 series) units from some place that gives you 30 days to return it, and try it out. If you don’t like it, try another one. Happy navigating!

Former Cable to lead junior Lakers out of the wilderness Tom Berridge

sports editor

Brad Parker calls it a homecoming, but home for the former 1977 Burnaby Cablevision was never like this. Parker helped the famed Cables to their first of three consecutive Minto Cup national junior A lacrosse titles in the late 1970s. Now, as the new head coach of the Burnaby juniors, the retired police chief has perhaps his biggest sporting challenge ahead of him. The once storied five-time Minto Cup champion junior Lakers are coming off their worst season on record. Burnaby’s only win last year came via an 11-10 victory over visiting Nanaimo in early May. The Laker juniors ended the season on a 17-game losing slide, while continuing their recent practice of selling off assets at the league’s trade deadline. “It’s a complete culture change,” said Parker, who head coached in New Westminster’s successful inter-

mediate and junior programs for Vogrig, David Mathers, Randy Jones five seasons. “I think the kids just and Nick Kapusty in an earlier trade need a good grounding and get back with Delta. At the midget entry draft, to basics. This particular situation Burnaby picked up intermediate A was quite dire.” Getting players to recommit to scoring champion Tyler Vogrig from the Burnaby club goes deeper than Richmond with the No. 1 overall pick.

This is a good news story. We’re in January. The Lakers also added Ryan moving forward,” he said.

RUGBY

Review:

Lake XV stretches win streak to nine Tom Berridge sports editor

Burnaby Lake increased its lead atop the B.C. Rugby Union men’s premier division to double figures with a shutout win over the Vancouver Rowing Club. Burnaby currently leads second-place 9-4 James Bay by a dozen points following a 29-0 victory over the Rowers at home on Saturday. With first place all locked up and a homefield advantage heading into the playoffs, Burnaby built up a 10-0 lead before scoring three more tries in the second half over the 5-8 Oarsmen. “We weren’t able to play the expansive style we like to play, but I think we’ve shown throughout the year that we can play in pretty much anything,” said Burnaby captain Anthony Luca in a B.C. Rugby press release. Centre James Reekie scored the only try of the first half, darting through an opening in the backline late in the period. League top scorer Geoff Ryan

added the conversion and a game-opening penalty kick. In the second half, Burnaby Lake ran in three more five-pointers from fullback Cole McQueen, winger Matt Alexander and back row forward Gurvinder Kalar, who rumbled into the end zone off a quick lineout for for the bonus-point score. With the win, Burnaby Lake improved its season record to 12-1. Next up for the double blue is Capilano, the only team to put a flaw in the club’s near-perfect record this season. “No one is thinking about the playoffs, yet,” added Luca in the release. “We’ve still got a big battle against Capilano, and it’s an important game to us because they’re the only guys who beat us this year. They beat us in a bit of a dog fight and we’re looking forward to heading over there.” Burnaby Lake and Caps will meet in the league’s regular season finale at Klahanie Park on Saturday. Game time is 2:45 p.m.

Getting ahead: Nicholas Carusi, in white, goes up for a header in Cliff Avenue United’s 1-0 win over the Central City Breakers in under-17 boys’ Coastal B Cup quarter-final play at Burnaby Lake-West last weekend. Kyle Whitehead scored the game-winner for Cliff.

taking a chance – but at UBC they’ll get a great education.” As a team player, Tuson adds, it’s just not in her makeup to back out now. “Playing in a team sport, you can’t really think I’m going to do what is best for me. When you commit to a team, I don’t think you can commit that way.” The 13-13 Thunderbirds currently boast a five-game winning streak. UBC also has a doubleheader on tap today at Simon Fraser University’s Beedie Field, beginning at 5 p.m. Following that, the TBirds will take part in the AII regional tournament in Lawrenceville, Georgia in May. – Tom Berridge
