Burnaby teachers off the job next week Cornelia Naylor staff reporter

Burnaby parents have nine days to figure out how their kids will spend the school day next Thursday when local public school teachers hit the picket lines for a one-day strike. The walkout would be part

of four days of rotating strikes around the province announced by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation Tuesday. The move comes on the heels of an announcement by the provincial government last week that is was backing off its demand for a 10-year contract and would give teachers a signing bonus if a

deal was reached before the end of the school year. But that was followed one day later by a B.C. Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA) threat to cut teachers’ pay by five per cent for its limited job action last month if a deal wasn’t reached by then. “Last week, teachers were

hopeful when they saw the government and BCPSEA put out an olive branch by backing off the unrealistic 10-year term,” said B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker at a press conference Tuesday. “But the next day, hope that this government would start negotiating in good faith faded

Artist not certain if he can salvage murals after latest ‘tagging’ incident Jacob Zinn staff reporter

So-called graffiti artists left their mark on three murals in one night – and they seem to be proud of it. Taggers wrote “3 Murals 1 Night” next to their spray painted nicknames on one of the three murals, located near the Royal Oak SkyTrain station. Todd Polich, a local artist who designed the murals, said he was notified on Monday, May 12 that they were defaced likely sometime the previous night. “I got lots of emails and phone calls and texts from people,” he said. Graffiti now adorns his 220foot Connected Oceans mural, which illustrates a number of majestic humpback whales swimming in the sea. The colour of the water fades slightly from green (representing Western Canada’s waters) to blue (representing the South Pacific), showcasing the distance that the whales cover around the world. “The humpback whales represent global travellers of the ocean, and they’re a perfect example of the interconnectivity of ecosystems,” said Polich. “The mural was painted to show the oceans being connected and to represent that what we do on one coast will affect the coastline of other continents throughout the world.” The mural was designed as part of a youth program called the Art of Empowerment. Polich paint-

Burnaby firefighters were off to a busy start this year. The department, which submits an incident report to council every three months, responded to 3,380 incidents between January and March of 2014, up from 3,265 compared to 2013. According to the recent report,

while building fires were down compared to the same time last year, Burnaby firefighters responded to more false and accidental alarms, motor vehicle incidents and medical emergencies. Firefighters kicked off 2014 with a bang when they were called to a suspicious fire at the site of the old Globe Foundry on Willard Street in South Burnaby. An early morning blaze nearly

destroyed the entire site and left most of the remaining buildings in ruin (council approved staff’s recommendation to try to contact the owners of the foundry at last week’s council meeting). As previously reported in the NOW, the fire began early in the morning and grew so rapidly that residents in the Edmonds area above the site could see smoke billowing from the old foundry.

The number of injuries and smoke exposure was also down this quarter compared to last year. As readers may remember, Burnaby firefighters were called to 3526 Smith Ave. after a blaze broke out in the apartment building on Feb. 17. It took nearly two days for firefighters to put out all the hot spots. The incident resulted in 53 exposures to smoke and one injury.

MLA raises concerns over ambulance response Cornelia Naylor staff reporter

The Burnaby Fire Department continues to question changes to provincial ambulance response protocols after firefighters watched a local man deteriorate rapidly and go into cardiac arrest during the 21 minutes it took paramedics to arrive. Initially his case – an upper gastro-intestinal bleed on April 21 – had been categorized Code 3 (lights and sirens), but it was quickly downgraded to Code 2 (routine). According to a fire department report to city council, ambulance dispatchers kept the patient’s case at Code 2 despite repeated updates and requests from firefighters for a Code 3 response. “At (3:52 p.m.) dispatch was again called to let them know that we were losing the patient and need BCAS now when the patient collapsed and went into cardiac arrest,” states a report by attending fire captain, Scott Morrow. The case was one of three presented to city council by fire chief Doug McDonald highlighting incidents where ambulance arrival times weren’t “especially prompt” despite B.C. Emergency Health Services statements that changes to its resource allocation plan last fall have improved response times for more serious events. McDonald told the NOW last month a potential problem with the changes, which saw 74 types of calls downgraded from Code 3 to Code 2, was that serious calls could be miscoded. But Emergency Health Services vice-president William Dick, who has been in charge of implementing the changes, told the NOW that shouldn’t happen since calls are upgraded based on firefighter updates. “Or policy is that if the first responders are on scene and they think that something’s not right, they get an upgrade,” he said. Burnaby-Deer Lake MLA Kathy Corrigan, the NDP critic for Public Safety and Corrections, now wants Health Minister Terry Lake to order an investigation into the case of the Burnaby man. “A letter with the details of this case has been in the hand of Dr. Dick of the emergency health services for more than two weeks with no response other than: ‘We’re putting it in the queue of letters of cases that need to be reviewed,’” Corrigan said during question period Wednesday. “We want the minister

OUR VIEW

We’ve seldom had cause to question the expenses of our own MLAs. And we tend to believe that most politicians are honest enough – and, let’s face it, politically savvy enough – to spend within acceptable limits. But that hasn’t always been the case. Speaker Linda Reid became a particular flashpoint after it was revealed she had taken her husband on a taxpayerfunded trip to South Africa on the public dime, along with spending on a host of other out-of-province jaunts.

In posting receipts online, it doesn’t mean that every glass of orange juice or family visit will be questioned. But it could get politicians to think ahead of time about how their spending could be perceived. We all know no politician should utter words they wouldn’t want to see on the front page of the paper. That goes double for spending on the taxpayers’ dime. – Guest editorial from the North Shore News

Lessons learned from Libs’ last win IN MY OPINION

Keith Baldrey

his past week marked the one-year anniversary of the B.C. Liberals’ stunning re-election win, and it’s worth re-visiting some of the lessons we can take from that historic event. 1. Voter demographics are key. Election outcomes are determined by people who actually vote, not those who respond to polling firms. According to Elections B.C. data, the voting turnout among age groups varies greatly. Those under the age of 35 have a turnout rate of slightly less than 40 per cent, while those aged 55 and older have a turnout rate of 66 per cent (and those over the age of 65 have a turnout rate of almost 75 per cent). The implications of this are crucial for our two main political parties, and greatly explain why the B.C. Liberals proved victorious last May 14. The NDP’s support is skewed by the disproportionately high support it enjoys by those under the age of 35. Simply put, many of its supporters don’t actually vote, while older, B.C. Liberal

supporters do cast ballots. And this situation is likely going to worsen for the NDP in the years ahead. Our population is getting older, not younger, and that bodes well for more conservative political parties (older people are generally more conservative than younger folks). 2. Beware of polls. A series of polls by some of Canada’s top pollsters all suggested the NDP had a big lead among voters at the beginning of the election campaign and a smaller edge near the end but was still poised to take power. However, the pollsters did not sufficiently take into account the fact many of its younger respondents in their online samples didn’t actually intend to vote, thus skewing the results of the polls. It’s unlikely in the next election campaign that media coverage will be driven by pollsters. The polls created a false narrative last year (that the B.C. Liberals were tremendously unpopular and that voters wanted a change in government) that shaped all media coverage, and the media will be much warier next time around. 3. The televised leaders debate matters, and not for reasons you might think. The debate featuring B.C. Liberal leader Christy Clark and NDP leader Adrian Dix (and other Debate Page 7

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Mining jobs pay well in B.C. Dear Editor:

I was amazed to learn that the average job in B.C.’s coal industry pays $107,000 per year. That’s a living wage that a person can really sink their teeth into and build a solid life around. If you calculate it on a 40-hour work week, across a 52-week year, that’s more than $50 an hour, or five times the minimum wage. And that’s just what the average coal industry job pays! Rather than putting precious resources into training more teachers just to add to the glut of teachers that already exists in B.C., why not put the emphasis on training people for jobs in the mining industry. Mining is high-tech these days, and the people

needed to fill those jobs need high-tech skills and training. Besides which, if we’re ever going to have the financial resources to support and employ all those people graduating with teaching certificates, we’re going to need the revenues that a healthy mining sector contributes to the province’s bottom line.

GO THE DISTANCE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Pipeline in wrong location continued from page 6

expansion project is bunk. B.C. public do NOT want bitumen-laden tankers, unnecessarily bobbing around in Burrard Inlet; Gulf Islands and their busy, narrow passes; the island bound Douglas Channel and the wiggly path remaining to find the open Pacific. The bitumen transport projects are planned for the wrong locations – having heard of major oil spill calamities. One would expect the proponents to recognize and care that the B.C. public do not want bitumen-laden tankers bobbing in our waters, when there is a near ideal location that provides open ocean access to world bitumen customers – Port Simpson provides such an opportunity. Go there, before it’s too late! Unless we see some consideration by the NEB for the B.C. public interest, these pipelines, as proposed, may become a legal/political impossibility as we Lotus Landers waken! With some leadership, we could turn this B.C. pipeline mess into a B.C./Alberta winner easily. Our leaders need to lead,

by allowing a joint venture (Enbridge and Kinder Morgan) to build a combined pipeline system from Alberta to Port Simpson and remove practically all the concerns and fears about that bitumen spills in our water. Ultimately, the real NEB (National Election Ballot) will listen and decide – in October 2015! Carl Shalansky, North Vancouver

Oil will come by rail Dear Editor:

Our politicians at city hall, the two NDP MPs, our intelligentsia at SFU, BROKE (Burnaby Residents Opposing Kinder Morgan Expansion), the Tsleil-Waututh Nation and equally keen individuals have made such great efforts, that they deserve recognition. Should we just shelve the doubling of the Kinder Morgan pipeline? This, I am sure, would be cause for wild celebrations in some quarters. And then they will discover to their dismay, that they helped to worsen the situation because oil will flow anyway. By rail! Ziggy Eckardt, Burnaby

Debate: Clark won hands down continued from page 6

leaders) was watched by a record-high audience and most post-debate analysis suggested it was a tie or that Dix somehow enjoyed a slight edge. In fact, later research showed Clark won the debate hands down. While it is true that Dix’s answers to questions were more detailed and specific, the average voter watching was impacted more by the two leaders’ appearance and presence on television. Clark came across as a positive, likeable and competent leader, while Dix looked angry, uncomfortable and shifty. It’s a reminder that the image, more than the content, often counts for more in politics. One need only recall the famous debates between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon. Those listening on radio thought Nixon, the veteran, experienced vice-president who knew volumes about all topics

discussed, was the winner. But those watching on television were captivated by the handsome, younger Kennedy. 4. Election campaigns themselves also matter. Clark ran a masterful campaign that had an easily defined message that was constantly communicated. Always mindful to wear a hard hat at an industrial site each day, she talked about jobs and building an LNG industry that would generate tremendous amounts of money for the government. Dix and the NDP, on the other hand, ran an unfocused, hodge-podge of a campaign that lacked a central theme. It was almost as if they were mailing it in, thinking they had victory in the bag. A top NDP strategist told me after the campaign that he went back and reviewed all the television coverage, and realized his party had been whipped by a superior campaign. 5. As U.S. political strategist James Carville once

famously said: “It’s the economy stupid.” Forget all the other issues. When most voters (particularly older ones) cast their ballots, they are thinking about their wallets. The B.C. Liberals and Clark talked only about the economy, both before and during the election campaign. The NDP were all over the map, talking about child poverty, social services, even selling B.C. Place. And then there was the famous, critical “Kinder surprise” moment when Dix announced his opposition to the Kinder Morgan pipeline, thus mortally wounding his party’s hopes outside the Lower Mainland. The 2014 election was perhaps the most pivotal in B.C. history and one year later, it’s still worth taking a closer look at it. The lessons it offers hold the key to who wins in 2017. !

and guaranteed staffing levels for specialist teachers into the contract. Fassbender, speaking at a press conference Tuesday, said he was “very disappointed” with the strike and maintained the five-per-cent rollback in teachers’ wages was not a threat. If there is no movement at the bargaining table, rotating strikes will begin Monday in 16 school districts, including Vancouver and New Westminster. Burnaby teachers will stay on the job till Thursday. The plan is for all districts to be back at work on Friday. “Any extension of the rotating job action will depend on events at the bargaining table,” Iker said. Burnaby superintendent Kevin Kaardal and Burnaby Teachers’ Association president James Sanyshyn did not respond to calls from the NOW by press time.

The purpose of the proposed zoning bylaw amendment is to permit the construction of a four-storey mixed use development with retail at grade and residential uses above, including surface and underground parking. 2)

BURNABY ZONING BYLAW 1965, AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 15, 2014 – BYLAW NO. 13344 Rez. #12-48 4700 Imperial Street Lot 1, DL 99, Group 1, NWD Plan BCP6963 From:

CD Comprehensive Development District (based on the P2 Administration and Assembly District)

To:

CD Comprehensive Development District (based on the C2 Community Commercial District and in accordance with the development plan entitled “Presentation Centre, 4700 Imperial Street, Burnaby, British Columbia” prepared by Ramsay Worden Architects, to be superseded on 2018 January 01 by the development plan entitled “4700 Imperial St, Burnaby, B.C.” prepared by Matthew Cheng Architect Inc.)

continued from page 4

The organization called on the province to develop “an effective, well-integrated, patient-centred emergency response service for our citizens provided by fire and rescue services and B.C. Ambulance Service working together.” Lake, however, argued changes to the resource allocation plan are based on best practice and strong clinical evidence. His position was bolstered by a recent independent review by retired deputy chief of Toronto Emergency Services Alan Craig, who concluded the new plan is “likely to improve public safety by the careful balancing of risk and benefit.” In a large emergency medical services system, the report states, there will always be small numbers of “perhaps compelling” examples of unexpected incidents, like high acuity patients assigned a low priority response, but that doesn’t constitute a structural failure of the response plan.

The play’s two characters are joined by live sound, by Emma Hendrix, that becomes almost a third character. Also part of the show are stage manager/producer Ruthie Tabata, lighting designer Jonathan Ryder, visual artist/ costume designer Leah Weinstein and director Blake Brooker – from Calgary’s One Yellow Rabbit theatre company. The group is at the Shadbolt Centre in rehearsals this week – a space that Yamamoto says is special to them, even though they’re now based in Vancouver. “We usually always come back here at some point with our shows,” she says. “We have a really great relationship with the Shadbolt. … It’s just been a really great space. It’s nice to come back here and do a show.” As a special incentive for Vancouver

residents, they’ve organized a series of Bike to the Bolt rides – organized group rides from Science World and from Broadway and Victoria that will bring cyclists to the Shadbolt along an easy, flat route. Cyclists even get discounted tickets – $15 instead of the regular $32 or $27 for students and seniors. For more on the Bike to the Bolt rides, check out www.facebook.com/ TheatreReplacement. Kate Bowie is onstage Wednesday, May 28 to Saturday, May 31 at 8 p.m. nightly. Tickets for the production are available by calling the Shadbolt box office at 604-205-3000 or through tickets.shadbolt centre.com.

Hydration: How Much is Enough?

The human body is made up of 60% water, on average. A similarly large percentage of animal bodies are made up of water. It’s obvious that water is an essential component of every body, just as it is essential for life in general. But how much water is essential and what is excessive? Is excessive water intake by an individual a problem or does it have the potential for harmful effects? Does the required water intake vary from species to species? It’s estimated that for good health, an adult human should drink approximately eight glasses of water a day. Unlike humans, it wouldn’t be easy to make a pet drink the exact recommended amount of water per day. But a very important aspect of pet ownership and their dietary management is to be aware of the importance of water intake by your pet. A healthy dog should drink 60-80 ml of water per kg of body weight. This would amount to 1 to 1.5 cups of water (250-400 ml) for a 5 kg dog over a 24-hour period. This requirement varies based on many factors and is not the same for each dog. Similarly, a cat should have a daily water intake of about 40-60 ml per kg per day. This is roughly 3-quarters to 1 measuring cup per 24 hours. Some individuals will drink far less per day, especially if a big proportion of their diet is moist food and if they have a more sedentary lifestyle (think indoor only and senior pets). One of the wonders of the body’s physiology is to maintain hydration at all times unless if water is withheld or if stressful factors are involved. Thus, generally speaking we need not worry about inadequate water intake in our pets unless if they are obviously ill. From a monitoring standpoint, what is more significant is whether a pet is drinking (and urinating) in excessive amounts, also called polydipsia/polyuria (PU/PD). There is a long list of diseases attributed to PU/PD signs, including diabetes, kidney insufficiency, bladder infections and hormonal disorders to name a few. Signs of PU/PD in pets indicate towards a need for immediate veterinary attention in order to rapidly diagnose

1 year, 2 weeks, male, neutered, Domestic Short Haired cross.

SPCA ID: 332076

SPCA ID: 332155

Bella is a beautiful fluffy muted Tortoiseshell who was surrendered due to allergies. She’s a bit shy upon first meeting but warms up quickly and is very loving and affectionate. She has had deworming, flea treatment and vaccines. Bella loves to be petted and can be quite talkative at times but doesn’t like to be picked up. She also likes other cats but is not suitable with dogs. Come meet her today!

and treat the cause of these symptoms. Withholding water to mask such symptoms will result in dehydration, weakness and undue stress on the pet. Timely diagnosis and treatment may help achieve remission in a cat suffering from diabetes, or may help prevent bladder stones from developing in a dog with a UTI (urinary tract infection). Thus, having a good understanding of your pets’ water intake needs and frequency of urination during good health can help identify signs of PU/PD without delay, if they were to develop. If you feel that your pets’ fluid intake is inadequate, it may help to add some water to their dry food, or to introduce a water fountain instead of the traditional waterbowl. Providing fresh water by frequently refilling the water-bowl is also helpful. Pets eating mostly canned food will often appear to have inadequate water intake. This should not be a concern in healthy cats and dogs. Keep in mind that some pets may have mild to moderate increases in water intake without excessive urination, during warmer summer days. While this should be a normal physiologic need, call you family veterinarian if the daily fluid volume intake appears abnormally high.

Zippy is a purr machine who loves belly rubs, and loves to play and roll around on his back, even when you’re trying to hold him he will squirm around and try to roll around in your arms. He is used to living with other cats and he would also be suited to a home with children who are cat savvy. Don’t miss out on Zippy!

CINDY CLAWFORD

KILO

5 years, 3 weeks, female, spayed, Calico.

2 years, 1 week, male, neutered, British Bulldog cross.

SPCA ID: 331541

Cindy Clawford is a beautiful Calico who doesn’t want to share her runway with any other felines. She is best suited in an adult home that understands a cat with a bit of an attitude. Not a lap companion, Cindy is playful and enjoys relaxing by a window with a view or on top of a scratching post. Cindy prefers that grooming sessions be kept short and will let you know when she’s had enough! She LOVES to carry on a conversation while following her humans around rubbing against their legs. Come fall her today!

SPCA ID: 332383

Kilo is looking for an experienced guardian who has plenty of time to take walks and play. While he’s not suited to live in a family with children, he’s an affectionate cuddle monster and goofy once you build up a relationship with him. Someone with a flexible schedule will help Kilo initially acclimatise to his new environment, as he can be shy and fearful of new situations. We see Kilo flourishing with a calm and firm guardian who will bring out the best in him with positive associations. Kilo is looking for his one and only – could it be you?

VINLY

DEXTER

3 year, 4 month, 3 week, male, neutered, Orange Tabby.

SPCA ID: 333402

Vinly is a lovable dude looking for a super active owner who lives an outdoorsy lifestyle and enjoys hiking and going for adventures, so apartments and condos are not recommended. Vin already knows how to sit, high five, leave it and “go to bed” but he needs continued work on loose leash walking, so no frail guardians. Also, because he can be mouthy and jump up, families with smaller children are not recommended. Come see this super special dog today!

SPCA ID: 227512

Dexter is a lovely, sometimes shy guy who warms to humans quickly. He wants nothing more than a quiet home where he can spoiled. He can very playful and also enjoys a good grooming session. He would prefer a home with no young children or other pets. He’s very playful and enjoys hiding under blankets and being chased around. Please give Dexter a chance and he will show you unconditional LOVE!

School district helps transform neighbourhood Cornelia Naylor staff reporter

The Burnaby school district got kudos last week for its part in helping to transform the neighbourhood around a local elementary school. A couple of weeks ago, kids at Windsor Elementary, near Imperial Street and Gilley Avenue, got outdoors for a neighbourhood cleanup. Neighbour Diane Gillis

couldn’t help thinking what a nice change the sound of their happy voices outside her home was from 10 years ago. “Those are the sounds in our neighbourhood now as opposed to a pimp and a hooker having a disagreement,” Gillis said. Ten years ago, the sex trade, drug activity and property crime had taken over her neighbourhood. Together with local businesses and other concerned neighbours, Gillis set out to

change that through the formation of the Kingsway Imperial Neighbourhood Association (KINA). The group’s activities, such as neighbourhood cleanups and barbecues, along with efforts by the City of Burnaby, local RCMP and the school district, have helped transform the community, once derisively called the “Whalley of Burnaby” after a neighbourhood in Surrey notorious for crime. “It’s not perfect, but it’s much,

VIEW WITH

much better,” Gillis said. The neighbourhood association had hoped the school district would turn Windsor into a community school to provide a much needed community space and activities for youth and their families, many of which are new to Canada. While that did happen, the district did get “creative” with its budget, according to Gillis, opening a Neighbourhood Learning Centre, which offers

English teaching to families new to Canada. It also added some extra staff, including a community connect worker, a neighbourhood learning coordinator and a settlement worker. The changes have made a big difference, Gillis said, and a delegation from the neighbourhood association was at a board of education meeting last week to express their thanks. Twitter.com/cornaylor

Yes, fat can be your friend – in moderation ON COOKING

Chef Dez

f you have ever attended one of my cooking classes or cooking shows, you know that I am a big advocate for using fat in cooking. You will always hear me chanting: “Fat is flavour, fat is moisture, fat is your friend.” I even take it one step further by joking that my title is not doctor, dietician or nutritionist – my title is chef. But I always take a moment from this overindulging-of-fat celebration to mention moderation. Moderation is truly the key. Just because I may demonstrate an incredible tasting recipe loaded with fat grams and calories, this does not mean that I expect you to eat like that on a regular basis. These types of recipes are meant to be illustrated as your “go to” formula for a special occasion when you want to wow someone with your cooking. Having a background myself of having to deal with being overweight as a child and young adult, I know that it is not the preferred way to journey through life. Today, with a balanced diet and my best attempt at a regular exercise routine, I have more energy and feel better than I ever did in my younger years. The main difference, more than any time prior in my life, is that I now celebrate all foods, not just the fatty and calorie-laden ones. There is flavour to be found in all types of ingredients, recipes and cuisines, and to find greatness in your regular diet is to rejoice in variety and moderation. The focus of moderation in this column has a couple of meanings: restriction and portion size. Eating forbidden foods (everyone’s perspective of “forbidden” is different, so I will leave

it up to you to define this term) does not have to be done on a daily basis (restriction) or should be of a small amount (portion size). Whether you practise restriction and/or portion size will again depend on your lifestyle, beliefs and ultimately what works for you to lead a healthy way of life. This being said, there is a huge variety of recipes that I share with the public, not just the fatty ones. Most menus I teach at my classes and shows tend to have a balance unless there is an obvious general menu focus on a certain technique or specific ingredient. My opinion on life is a bit biased as a chef, but I believe that food helps us to celebrate and enjoy our daily existence. We need food to survive, so let’s make it exciting and something to look forward to every day. Having influence from a chef in your life will help you in many ways to prepare restaurant-quality food right in your own home. By cooking from scratch, you have the ability to control ingredients, cooking technique and also save money. Honing this skill in the kitchen you already have, and with the daily requirement that you need food to stay alive, will prove to be invaluable. So, blow some dust off your cookbook collection, watch some cooking shows, or take a cooking class. Consulting a doctor, dietitian and/or nutritionist may not be a bad idea either. Although eating fat in food has no direct correlation to drinking red wine, I do feel compelled to state the following in my argument of moderation: Many studies have suggested that drinking a single glass of red wine every day is good for you, but skipping the whole week and having seven glasses on Friday night … not so good.

Shaw home one of the last from pioneer era Our Then & NOW series takes a look back in the archives, to see the city’s changes through the years

t’s one of the oldest homes in Burnaby and an extremely rare one at that. The Shaw House, at 7725 Fourth St., was built in 1891 and was home to Burnaby’s first mayor, Charles Shaw, and it’s one of only a few known remaining examples of the late Victorian architectural style typical of the city’s pioneer era. Built in the Queen Anne style, the Shaw house gives modern day residents a glimpse into the city’s early settlement era. There were only a handful of documented homes built in Burnaby in the early 1890s, and only three, including the Shaw house, have survived. The Shaw house remains relatively intact, having

survived relocation and a modest addition of a new wing and porch. According to the city, the first owner, Shaw, immigrated to Canada from England in 1869. He lived in New Westminster and worked in a mill, then moved to Burnaby and bought the property around 1891. He built his home shortly after and set up a farm and a small market on the property, while running a home decorating and painting business on the side. As a Methodist preacher, Shaw was a seasoned orator and pushed to establish Burnaby as a new municipality. His efforts paid off, and he was unanimously elected as Burnaby’s first reeve (the old term for mayor) in 1892. But just two years later, he sold his house, as his wife’s health was failing. The couple moved to Kamloops, but she died in

Housing relic:

The Shaw House, at 7725 Fourth St., was built in 1891 and is one of the last architectural examples of homes built in Burnaby’s early pioneer era. Below, the Shaw House was the home of Burnaby’s first mayor, Charles Shaw. This photo was taken in 1920, after the Brookes family bought the home from Shaw.

1897, and the Shaw family relocated to Toronto. Meanwhile, the Shaw House was sold to the Brookes family, which took up residence in 1917. The Brookes built a much larger home, which later became the Normanna seniors’ home, and the Shaw house was renovated into a gardeners’ residence and moved to the back of the lot. The home is now the property of the Norwegian Old People’s Home Association, which runs Normanna seniors’ home. The association, with funding from the City of Burnaby, restored the Shaw house, which was designated as a protected municipal heritage site in 1996. People who volunteer at Normanna can live in the house, at a reduced rate, and the basement is a carpentry workshop for the volunteers. –Jennifer Moreau

Gardening tips for bats GREEN SCENE Anne Marrison

Question: Is it OK to plant or just lay cloves of garlic next to zinnia, acorn squash, rhubarb, chard and vegetable marrow (it’s like a zucchini). Are there any vegetables or flowers that do not like garlic near them? Koko, Coquitlam Answer: Generally, plants benefit from having garlic nearby because garlic is great at deterring pests. If any plant has problems with this arrangement it’s more likely to be the garlic. The allium family (garlic is an allium) hate competition. That’s why you’re unlikely to get big garlic cloves from this placing. The squash, marrow and rhubarb leaves will tend to smother and shade the garlic. The zinnias and chard should fit in nicely. Though garlic deters pests, it doesn’t deter the growth of any plants nearby. Some other plants do. One of these is couch grass. This is a coarse perennial grass which spreads by white, needlepointed roots and is quick to invade vegetable gar-

dens from couch-grass infested lawns. One of the most skilled trees in chemical warfare is Black Walnut which tends to create mini-deserts around itself. Even Himalayan blackberries struggle to survive in the root zone of this tree. Pines have something of the same reputation. Both are best far away from places where vegetables are grown. Question: I’m looking at starting a bat garden; a garden that will attract night insects and critters that will act as a food source for these awesome flying mammals. Do you have any suggestions for native B.C. plants with night-flowering blooms that will intoxicate the night air. Kirk, Langley Answer: Absolutely. The best thing to attract insects that bats feed on is a bright light. I’m very aware of that because in 2005 I was bitten by a bat that flew into my face and bit me as I walked across a brightly lit deck that was thick with insects attracted by the light. Among native B.C. flowers, Philadelphus lewisii (mock orange) does stay open at night. This is extremely fragrant, especially in late evening and early morning. The single form is more accessible to insects than the double

form. Another night-opening, fragrant native is the evening primrose. The native forms are Oenothera biennis and O. hookeri. Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) is not native to North America but has become naturalised (invasively in some places) on the East Coast. Besides being very fragrant, it has a long blooming season. Sweet rocket (Hesperis matrionalis) is also fragrant and non-native but naturalized here. It’s a magnet for insects in the day (especially swallowtail butterflies) and does stay open at night. Question: Is it too late to dig up my calla lily bulbs to thin them out? Nikki Stubbs, Tri-Cities Answer: It’s not too late to dig up and thin your calla lilies. After all, many people buy new calla bulbs and plant them at this time. They may flower a bit later from being disturbed, but if they’re crowded, flowers could be few and far between anyway. But after thinning, your callas should flower well next year. Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions. Send them to her via amar rison@shaw.ca.

IN BURNABY ASK A DENTIST

ASK A JEWELLER

Q. Why do I need to come every 6 months for exam

Q. Iboughtmyengagementringfromachainstore

andcleaning?

two years ago. I specifically wanted white gold butnowIamrealizingmyringisturningyellow. Whatishappening?

A. Dentists recommend regular exam and hygiene

(cleaning) appointments so we can help you maintain a healthy mouth through a preventive program. Your regular 6 month exam and hygiene visits allow the doctor and hygienist to note any changes in both your Lyle Pidzarko teeth and gums. In this way we can catch problems Dentist when they are small and before they become more difficult, uncomfortable and often times more expensive. We compare it to having regular maintenance on your vehicle, sort of like a tune-up for your mouth.

A. Since white gold is intrinsically yellow gold mixed

with alloys to make it white, most white gold will have a yellowish hue. To offset that, most white gold rings are rhodium plated when they are made. You can restore your rings whiteness by simply rhodium plating the rings once Shahraz Kassam again. We do this regularly in our in-store lab. There are CEO, Shamin Jewellers also new alloys available right now that are called Super White Gold, which do not need rhodium plating.These alloys may not be suitable for all ring designs as they are not as soft to work with but we have made many engagement rings in Super White. Drop in anytime to our showroom across from Metrotown and show your ring to our goldsmith. He can help you bring back the shine.

We usually tailor and schedule the appointments based on each person’s individual needs. This may mean some people come more frequently and others can wait a little longer between visits, although never more than one year. Patients are often concerned about what their plan will cover, and although plans may have a limit on what they will pay, this does not mean that is the best thing for your health. Some people feel that by limiting these basic preventive services, dental plans may actually be providing a disservice to their clients by not helping them to do routine maintenance.

Voted Best Realtor 3rd Year in a Row ®

Jewellery Expert Gives Back to Burnaby Shamin Jewellers needs no introduction to most of Burnaby. But what most don’t know is that Shamin was founded by its owner, Shahraz Kassam in 1981 when he was just 18 years old. Shahraz has won many awards himself including Retailer of the year to Profit Magazines Top 100 businesses in Canada. Each year since 1987, Shahraz gives back to the community by awarding up to 10 Shamin Jewellers Entrepreneurial Scholarships to graduating students in local high schools. As of press time, some of this year’s recipients are Simon Danyluk of Cariboo Hill Secondary, Nicole Schiess of Moscrop, Kyla Tonida of Byrne Creek Secondary and Aarushi Raizada of Burnaby Mountain. Each receives a cash award, a recognition plaque and a Bulova Diamond studded watch. It is this spirit of giving back to the community that has given Shahraz and Shamin Jewellers their reputation of trust and value. Not only is Shahraz a jewellery expert but he is also often seen speaking at local high schools on entrepreneurship and marketing; two talents that have made Shamin Jewellers one of the best jewellery stores in the city for over three decades. A decade ago, Shamins opened a new bigger showroom conveniently located on Kingsway across the street from Metrotown. A dream 20 years in the making became real for award winning Indo-Canadian entrepreneur, Shahraz Kassam. The old Metrotown location made Shamins a household name, winning the Best Jeweller in the city award seven out of eight times. However, the mall demographics changed along with the rents which had escalated to over $1000 a day. “Here I have the opportunity to serve my customers in a unique and exciting environment offering even greater value due to the lower overhead cost!” he said. The new showroom has lower prices on all merchandise especially loose diamonds. The only thing that does not change in the new showroom is Shamins emphasis on quality. Shahraz chooses his diamonds from the major cutting centers of the world and puts emphasis on Collection Colours and Ideal Cuts. Having been a major player in the global diamond industry for 31 years, Shamins is able to offer the finest gems at prices that are internationally competitive. The most unique aspect about Shamins is the range of styles, chosen from amongst the finest designers in the world and most of them, exclusive to Shamins. Shamin guarantees the most gorgeous diamonds at beautiful prices!

ASK A PHARMACIST Q. What is the best Omega 3 to take? A. The best Omega 3 to take is the one with the highest Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) content.

EPA is the long chain fatty acid responsible for decreasing inflammation in the body, increasing HDL (good cholesterol), helps to control psychiatric symptoms and lowers blood pressure. Now, in order to receive the these beneficial effects, one must consume about 1000mg of EPA once or Hassan Lalani twice daily, but in most Omega 3 supplements the dose of EPA ranges Pharmacy Owner from 180mg- 600mg per capsule.

good idea for most things, I am concerned about our 2002 Toyota Sienna minivan. It has 260,000 miles on it, and except for an oil leak (we keep adding oil), it runs great. The problem is, I’m nervous about driving my daughter around in it for long distances. She has dance competitions that cannot be missed, but every time we go, I wonder if this will be the day that the van dies. My husband won’t discuss replacing it until it dies

Free car-seat installation clinic Children are our most precious cargo, but when parents don’t know proper car-seat safety procedures, they put their children’s lives at risk on the roads. That’s why one local auto dealer is helping to put on a car-seat installa-

tion workshop. On June 1, Carter Chevrolet Cadillac Buick GMC Burnaby Ltd. will roll out the new Chevrolet Safe and Sure Child Car Seat Installation Workshop program with a little help from Parachute, a Canadian charity dedi-

cated to preventing injuries and saving lives. Parachute will be on hand at the Carter dealership at 4550 Lougheed Hwy. from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. offering free one-onone workshops with a certified car-seat technician who will teach families

and caregivers how to use and install car seats in any vehicle so children are safe for every ride no matter the make or model of their vehicle. Appointment registration is available in advance of this workshop at www.safeandsure.ca.

spent $2,000 keeping the car limping along. And then the transmission goes. TOM: So there’s an economic argument for giving up on the Sienna, as well as a very good safety and reliability argument, given the type of driving you do, Jeannie. RAY: If it were my wife and daughter, I’d give thanks for the 260,000 good miles I got out of the Sienna, sell it for a few hundred bucks to a guy who delivers pizza and get something much newer and safer for you guys. TOM: If he can’t be persuaded to do that (I’m guessing from your description that he’s cheap and stubborn), then the next-best option is to tell him you’ll drive it locally, but when you have to drive your daughter to faraway dance competitions, you’ll rent a car. RAY: That’ll cost $100 or $200 each time you have to go out of town. And you guys will have to weigh

spending that money on rental cars versus investing it in a newer, safer, more reliable car. But either way, you’ll be safer on those long, out-of-town trips. TOM: And if he refuses to go along with even that compromise? Well, far be it from us to suggest anything under-handed, Jeannie. But if you happen to drive to, say, Montana for a dance competition, and are so stressed about the car breaking down that you forget to top up the oil before heading home, and then you keep driving after the oil light comes on, you’ll seize the engine and finish off that Sienna once and for all.

B.C. wins fifth straight netball title Tom Berridge

sports editor

Team British Columbia is finding its stride at home. B.C. won its fifth consecutive Canadian national open women’s netball title and third straight as host, following a 48-34 victory over Ontario at the Fortius centre in Burnaby on Sunday. Team B.C. broke open a tightly played first half, outscoring Ontario 15-4 in a pivotal third quarter. Leading 23-20 at the half time interval, B.C. team veteran goal attack Maralyn Hope scored 12 of her team’s final 14 points in the third quarter en route to the game’s biggest lead at 38-24. The two teams played the final period even, ensuring B.C. of the win. “The difference was we stuck to our B.C. game, every little turnaround we capitalized on it,” said 10year goal defense veteran Shawnette Cockburn, who exemplified the team’s winning effort with a forced turnover at midcourt as the game ended. While, B.C. has won the last five Canadian titles, its record as hosts of the nationals has been little better than .500. “Actually, this was one of the better (wins), said Cockburn. “It was goalfor-goal for so long, but we just couldn’t relax. … We were forced to keep up the pace.” Amonda Francis, who

could have done it without Ann (Willcocks). She’s the heart and soul.” “We’ve broken the back of that jinx of playing at home,” said Willcocks, a Burnaby Sports Hall of Fame inductee and B.C. netball association president. “We have a good grass

roots program. What the players say is they like the positiveness of the program. They like it and they stick with it.” One of the keys is how the older women mentor the younger players, working at team spirit as much as developing fundamentals, added Willcocks.

“The roots go deep, but we work hard on developing our skills.” B.C’s under-23 team, including seven women from Burnaby, easily won its divisional national title, winning all three games it played, including a 5414 victory over runner-up Alberta.

Senior Lakers itching to get WLA started Tom Berridge

The adage goes, “good things come to those who wait.” For the senior A Burnaby Lakers, it means having to watch the rest of the Western Lacrosse Association for nearly two weeks before finally feeling the planks beneath their feet. “I’m really impressed with our practices now, we’re getting ready to start the season,” said Lakers head coach Rory McDade. That start will come on May 29 at Queen’s Park Arena against the New Westminster Salmonbellies, now entering their 125th year. Burnaby’s home opener will come a day later at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre when they host the Nanaimo Timbermen.

What has players and supporters itching to get started is the anticipation felt from last season, when Burnaby finished in third place with a 10-8-0 record, but was swept in the playoffs by Victoria. With some key acquisitions, including the recent addition of Chris O’Dougherty from Nanaimo and goalie Tyler Richards and Ilija and Alex Gajic from New West in the off season, the Lakers feel they have filled the few remaining holes in an otherwise talented and young lineup. “The transition has been working pretty smoothly,” McDade added. “We have a good mix of older guys now. It’s about us making that next step. With three quality netminders in Richards, Dan Lewis and veteran backup Joe Bell Jr., Burnaby

has all ground covered in goal. O’Dougherty will likely see part-time service this season in a back line that has gotten bigger and better with Matt Beers and much improved Scott Rouse ready to make things difficult for opposition snipers. Chris Manwaring will also be back in Laker green after a season off, giving Burnaby’s already strong transition game another quality piece. Up front, Ilija Gajic will join team scoring leader Dane Stevens on the left side. Stevens is coming off a banner season with 81 points, including a season second-best 55 assists last year. The already talented right side with the likes of Scott Jones, Jackson Decker and Robert Church, to name a few, should

only be strengthened with the addition of Alex Gajic. “This is definitely the strongest roster we’ve had,” said McDade. “My expectations are to win the west and go from there. Anything less would be a failure in my eyes.” With just three back-to-back matches on the schedule this season, and a four-game stretch in June to contend with, Burnaby is anxious to get things started in earnest. McDade said there are still some tough calls to come and further moves could be made before the Lakers take their opening faceoff. “All the guys on the team are disappointed about not making the finals (last season). They’ll have something to prove here,”

It was a tough weekend of new lessons learned for the junior A Burnaby Lakers. Hot off their first two wins of the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League season and a player of the week nod to goalie David Mather last week, Burnaby surrendered wins to bottom-table teams Port Coquitlam and Nanaimo. On May 16, the Lakers lost 12-9 in overtime to the previously winless PoCo Saints. On Sunday, Burnaby failed to close out a comeback rally against Nanaimo, dropping a 10-9 decision in the final minutes. “I think we still have to build our confidence after last year. We have to learn how to close out leads and learn to bury teams,” said first-year junior Aidan Milburn. Milburn is third overall in league scoring and currently leads the eight-team loop with 17 goals. The lanky righthander potted his fourth hat trick of the season against Nanaimo, helping to spark a five-goal middle frame to get the Lakers back into a game they very nearly squandered following a 7-3 first-period deficit. But despite taking a 97 lead on aged-up rookie Tyler Vogrig’s second of the game six minutes into the final period, Nanaimo fought its way back, scoring three times, the final pair coming with the help of the referee’s whistle late in the game. Nanaimo outshot Burnaby 20-9 in the third period. In PoCo, Milburn and Randy Jones both scored four times, but the Lakers came up goalless in extra time when it counted most. “We have to come out and ready to win,” Milburn added. “We just have to move forward, remember the losses but move on and play our game.” Burnaby played New Westminster at Queen’s Park Arena on Tuesday (after NOW deadlines).
