Fun, fun, fun: Roughly 60,000 people attended
the 30th annual Hats Off Day in Burnaby’s Heights neighbourhood on Saturday.
Hats on for Hats Off Day Sunny skies drew nearly 60,000 people to the Heights neighbourhood on Saturday for the 30th annual Hats Off Day. This year’s anniversary event theme took guests back in time to the totally awesome ’80s, and, according to Isabel Kolic, executive director of the Heights Merchant Association, everyone was keen to participate. “I really like it when the public also embraces (the theme),” she told the NOW on Tuesday.
Smart meter opponents plan rally in Burnaby Jennifer Moreau staff reporter
Lower Mainland residents are planning a rally in Burnaby for June 14, calling for better options for people who don’t want smart meters. White Rock resident Linda Ewart, one of the rally organizers, says the event is about democracy and choice. “An opt-out needs to be for anyone that wants to opt out, and we’re not getting that,” she said, explaining that B.C. Hydro resorted to pressure tactics to have the meters installed, and once they’re in, there’s no removing them. Like cellphones, smart meters emit radiofrequency waves, and those electromagnetic fields are considered possibly carcinogenic by the International Agency
for Research on Cancer. “People should have a choice about having a possibly carcinogenic device in their homes,” Ewart said. Ewart is a member of the Citizens for Safe Technology and the Coalition to Stop Smart Meters. She’s hoping roughly 200 people will attend the rally at Burnaby’s Fraser Foreshore Park, just across the street from a B.C. Hydro office. Last summer, the province gave some people an option to keep their old meter or have a “radio-off meter” installed, (where the radio transmitter was turned off), but by then 97 per cent of homes in British Columbia already had smart meters installed. Fewer than 19,000 British Columbians have refused to allow B.C. Hydro to install smart meters on their property. Those who

are keeping their old meter pay $32.40 per month. According to B.C. Hydro, B.C.’s Provincial Health Officer, Health Canada and the World Health Organization have all confirmed that smart meters are safe. B.C. Hydro maintains that smart metres are only transmitting wirelessly for 1.4 seconds per day, and that one year of smart meter radio frequency is equivalent to four minutes of Wi-Fi use. The Burnaby rally coincides with a series of rallies across B.C. on June 14. On a related note, the Health Action Network in Burnaby is hosting a screening of Take Back Your Power, a documentary on electromagnetic frequency and associated health concerns. The screening is on Thursday, June 12 at 7 p.m., (doors open at 6:30 p.m.) at the Firefighters Banquet Hall, 6515 Bonsor St.

Mystery: Who killed Hong Wei Yin? Cayley Dobie staff reporter
NEWS
5 More HandyDart funds
It’s been nearly five years since Hong Wei Yin’s body was found in the trunk of her car, and police still haven’t determined who is responsible for the 33-year-old Burnaby woman’s death. Yin, originally from China, was a permanent resident of Canada working at a massage parlour in Burnaby and living near Metrotown. In 2006, the young woman moved to Burnaby from Toronto, and police said she had been working in several massage parlours across the Lower Mainland. But on July 12, 2009, Yin left her Burnaby home around 9:30 a.m. and was never heard from again. Police issued a missing persons bulletin for Yin, which included a description of her Toyota Corolla, a few days later. As the NOW reported at the time, Yin had a flight home to China on July 16 to visit family, but she never made that flight and her family and friends were beginning to worry, describing this behaviour as “very unusual.” The search for Yin ended tragically on July 29, when Vancouver police discovered her white 2009 Toyota Corolla in the 8300 block of Chester Street, an industrial area of South Vancouver. According to investigators, the vehicle had not moved for days, and it was dis-
tinctive because of the Hello Kitty car accessories inside the vehicle. A few days later, Vancouver police confirmed, using dental records, that the body in the trunk was in fact Yin. Today the investigation is ongoing. Neither the Vancouver Police Department nor the B.C. Coroners Service has released much information on the investigation into Yin’s murder. While an autopsy was conducted, the results of the autopsy were never made public, including cause of death. According to coroner spokesperson, Barb McLintock, the results of the coroners report won’t be released at this time because “to do so would be to risk hampering ongoing police investigative work.” When the NOW asked if investigators were close to closing the case, the Vancouver Police Department echoed McLintock’s reasoning, saying they couldn’t share any information related to Yin’s homicide for fear it would impact the investigation. “These investigations are pretty delicate. So, other than to say it’s ongoing and it hasn’t been solved – no arrests have been made – I wouldn’t be able to say anything more than that,” Const. Brian Montague told the NOW. Until police announce an arrest or break in the case, the mystery surrounding Yin’s death remains unsolved. twitter.com/cayleydobie

Streamkeepers want pond remediated For the fish:

Alan James, left, and John Preissl want CN to clean up and deepen the pond on Silver Creek so salmon have a place of refuge.
staff reporter
Burnaby streamkeepers are calling on CN to remediate a pond on Silver Creek, following the Jan. 11 train derailment that spilled 82.8 cubic metres of coal into the local waterway, an area deemed sensitive habitat for fish and wildlife. The streamkeepers say a small pond in the Cariboo business park used to be clear but is now collecting silt, possibly from a construction site upstream, making it uninhabitable for the tiny salmon that were recently released in the area. CN removed most of the coal and some soil along with it, making the pond a bit deeper than before. “I see it as a compensation project for CN

City OK’s contributions from tower developers Amenity bonus funds could yield about $16.5 million for social needs in Burnaby Jacob Zinn staff reporter
More highrises could be popping up in Metrotown and Brentwood soon. On Monday, Burnaby city council approved a cash-in-lieu contribution derived from the density bonus of a proposed mixed-use development in Metrotown with two towers. The development – a four-storey commercial podium with 27- and 42-storey towers – would be located between McKay and Cassie avenues near Beresford Street. The report on the project notes the community amenity bonus, which allows developers to build with higher density in exchange for funding services for the area, could yield about $16.5 million for the
city’s social needs. Additionally, council supported a similar recommendation seeking approval for a cash-in-lieu contribution valued at $4.56 million tied to the proposed second Brentwood tower. As outlined in council’s adopted policy, 80 per cent of cash-in-lieu contributions are applied to services for the town centre in which a development is proposed, while the remaining 20 per cent goes toward a city-wide affordable or special needs housing fund. According to the city, the density bonus fund has already paid for upgrades to the Bonsor Recreation Complex and Central, Bonsor and Inman parks, as well as improvements to the B.C. Parkway, development of the Bonsor Skateboard Park and more than 22,000 square feet of new, non-profit office space currently under construction. Public hearings are expected to be held for both projects.

OUR VIEW
Is there a solution for this dispute? IN THE HOUSE
A
Keith Baldrey
s the latest contract dispute involving B.C.’s teachers careens towards the inevitably unsatisfactory conclusion for all involved, it’s worth asking whether another bargaining model should be adopted. But while it may be worth it to pose the question, it’s far from clear that any alternative exists that is the magic solution that would satisfy all parties. Take binding arbitration, the most commonly referred to option to the current system. I’ve not heard enthusiasm for this solution from either the employer or the teachers’ union. The problem with binding arbitration for the parties involved in it is that it can lead to an outcome that is beyond the control of those affected. For the employer, this can mean a financial arbitration that may greatly exceed its ability to pay, or may have a “domino” effect on other contracts involving other groups of its employees (i.e. other public sector unions) with the total financial impact being substantially high-
er than anything contemplated in a single set of negotiations. For a union like the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, binding arbitration would mean it would have to buy into the notion that its wage proposals (always substantially higher than any other public sector union) would likely have to be scaled back considerably to be treated seriously by an arbitrator. Of course, prior to 1987, binding arbitration was actually used to settle teachers’ pay (and few other issues). That was the year the Social Credit government of the day gave the BCTF the right to strike, which led to full collective bargaining. But if binding arbitration was to be used today, it presumably would include many more cost items, not the least of which would be the thorny and expensive issues of class size and class composition. The fact both parties likely fear that an arbitrator could rule against their self-interest on these issues is another big reason for the lack of enthusiasm for that model. And frankly, I’m not sure binding arbitration could adequately deal with the class size/ composition situation. That’s because it’s a very complex issue, and it’s as much about a philosophical split between the employer and the union as it is about funding. The BCTF wants fixed rules in Dispute Page 7
hensive listing of all known demonstrations” regardless of who is protesting or why. The agency set up to ensure sharing of information in the event of emergencies like earthquakes, tsunamis and nuclear meltdowns is now apparently also concerned about environmental and First Nations protests and teacher strikes among other threats to social order. Our Charter of Rights and Freedoms specifically uses the word “fundamental” to describe our rights to freedom
of expression, peaceful assembly and association. It is part of a healthy democracy, not something to be monitored and feared. It is part of what distinguishes us from totalitarian states like China. Shame on Ottawa for its willingness to violate the rights of its own citizens to serve its own paranoia. And shame on us for not speaking up louder to condemn such actions. – Guest editorial from North Shore News
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR City is saving too much money Dear Editor:
Re: New civic party questions city reserves, June 4, Burnaby NOW. Coun. Dan Johnston still ignores the big numbers in small print. Your reporter Jacob Zinn identifies $891.9 million in the city investment portfolio and $142 million in the city development cost charges account (see 2013 Burnaby Financial Report, footnote No. 2 and footnote No. 5, p. 49). But he does not identify another $200 million or more in projected market value in the city’s “land inventory held for resale” (see 2013 Burnaby Financial Report, footnote No. 7, p. 50.)
Burnaby holds property beyond its own foreseeable needs on its books at “the lower of cost and net realizable value” (see 2013 Financial Report, footnote No. 1, p. 48.) In 2013, the reported cost of land technically “held for resale” was $96.5 million. Given how rapidly Burnaby real estate values have appreciated in the last few years, this resale property may be worth two to three times more than its purchase price. So the “BCA billion” may be more like $1.2 to $1.3 billion. Coun. Johnston also continues to ignore the reality of “excess reserves” when he points to the $620 million in required reserves. (This sum was up $35.5 million from $585 million in 2012 – see 2013 Financial Report, p. 35).

GO THE DISTANCE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Reserves must be capped continued from page 6
Coun. Johnston apparently fails to realize that if the market portfolio holds $892 million and the required reserve is $620 million then the difference between these amounts – or $272 million – is “excess” to statutory requirements. (And to this “excess” could be added the money in the development cost charges account and the projected market value of the resale land.) So again I ask Coun. Johnston, as BCA “spokesperson” on these issues, how much fiscal reserve does the city really need? Every dollar held, in excess of the statutory (required) reserve, is a dollar unnecessarily levied from taxpayer pockets. How high must property taxes go when city coffers already bulge with excess dollars and young families struggle to make mortgage payments while city seniors on fixed pensions struggle to remain in their existing homes? Burnaby badly needs to debate putting a “cap” on its excess fiscal reserves, allowing for necessary growth in the statutory reserve, and further adjustment to the ongoing increases in the property tax levy. G. Bruce Friesen, Burnaby
Questions about protesters Dear Editor:
Chevron fences, Burnaby NOW, June 4. Jacob Zinn, who is described as a “staff reporter” on your front-page story of the June 4 edition, seems somewhat lacking of detail for interested readers of such a prestigious placement directly below your masthead. That said, he does mention that the protesters were willing to face jail time.” He then mentions that police (though not how many, which would give us some idea of the cost to taxpayers for their services), “sawed off bike locks” and then quotes some rather insipid statements by one, Mia Nissen, before informing us that they (presumably) spent the night in some lockup and were released about noon on Saturday. There was no mention whether they were released with conditions or what might be the consequences for their criminal actions. I trust I can assume that the mayor’s seeming support of such nonsense will not have any influence on charges? One wonders if, considering the massive growth of condos and other expansion throughout Burnaby, with council’s approval and the consequent increase of the need for power, heat, and other amenities, that it will not impinge on the loss of same for those who seem bent on stopping said services from being increased in the future? I think we can assume that there will be increases in the costs associated with it.

Dispute: Arbitration not the answer continued from page 6
place that govern how many special needs students can be in a particular classroom, while the employer argues the system needs flexibility to deal with what can be very complex situations (the employer also argues fixed ratios are actually discriminatory against special needs kids). The union’s position inevitably translates into more classrooms being created, and therefore more teachers being hired (this fits with the BCTF’s constant struggle for control of the classroom). The employer’s position would presumably not create the same number of classrooms. Each side exaggerates the merits of its own position, and the dire consequences of the other’s. There’s no question the issues involved are vital, but I wonder if most people even know what is meant by “special needs” when it comes to diagnosing children. Do people know there are actually 12 “catego-
ries” of special needs? They include: physically dependent, deaf or blind, moderate to profound intellectual disability, physical disability and chronic health impairment, visual impairment, hard of hearing, autism, severe mental illness, mild intellectual disability, moderate mental illness, learning disability and gifted. The definitions of what constitutes each category are shaped by diagnostic findings of the American Psychology Association, and those diagnostic tools are used to diagnose students when their parents or their teacher(s) think it’s necessary to do so. And some of the definitions can change. Take autism, for example. In 2000, about 1,300 kids were diagnosed with autism, and this past year the number was 6,750. Experts say this phenomenal growth is because much more information has become known about autism, and the diagnostic tools are vastly different now than they were back in 2000.
I’m providing this kind of detail because I think it shows the complexity of the situation may be beyond the skill set of a traditional labour arbitrator. Best to leave the decisions surrounding this issue in the hands of those actually running the system – which means teachers and administrators. The BCTF has made a compelling argument that more funding is needed to address class composition situations, while the employer has made an equally good case about the need for flexibility in the system. Hopefully the two sides can still achieve some middle ground in the current dispute. To accomplish that, they will have to engage in real collective bargaining. The traditional model hasn’t served teachers well for a number of reasons, but binding arbitration may prove to be no better, at least when it comes to class size and composition issues.

to excavate even further, deepening that pool to six feet or so, and bringing in some large, woody debris – stumps and large logs – so there’s some place for the fish to hide out,” said Alan James of the Stoney Creek Environment Committee. John Preissl, who recently joined the Byrne Creek streamkeepers, would like to see more places for fry to hide from predatory birds, like herons and kingfishers. “It’s a small stretch of creek, but every inch of salmon ground is precious,” Preissl said. The City of Burnaby is also considering compensatory projects CN could take on to improve the habitat but is still reviewing the environmental impact assessment report from the railway company.
The NOW made a Freedom of Information request for the report, but the city maintains it’s CN’s document and won’t release it, and CN failed to provide a copy of the report by NOW deadlines. The spill left 82.8 cubic metres of coal in the creek, Burnaby Lake and further downstream in the Brunette River – of that, an estimated 81.4 cubic metres were considered recoverable. Nearly 400 cubic metres of coal and sediment were removed, but CN could not provide exact figures on how much coal was actually left behind, although spokesperson Emily Hamer said it was only “miniscule amounts.” No one from CN was available to discuss the possibility of remediating the pond. twitter.com/JenniferMoreau

Transit: More money for taxi trips continued from page 5
“We know that door-to-door public transportation is important to the people who use it, and this funding will help more people with disabilities travel throughout the region in 2014,” stated TransLink COO Doug Kelsey. From April to November last year, TransLink and Coast Mountain Bus Company tested the cost-effectiveness of increased service in B.C. by reallocating 10,000 hours of HandyDart vehicle service to taxis. The transit groups learned that by using taxis, they could more efficiently increase service while giving customers more independence and flexibility. Kelsey said part of the inspiration for the pilot project was to address the num-
ber of service denials, which climbed to 42,000 last year. “Since several years ago, we have not received extra funding from the taxpayer, so we’ve had to live within our means,” he said, noting the HandyDart program was caught in the ongoing reallocation of funds. Thanks to a surplus of more than $47 million last year, TransLink was able to invest in HandyDart and mitigate some of its transit issues. “This is one area that we said, ‘We want to really make an impact,’ and because of our success last year, we made a decision to allocate here and really try to help out.” twitter.com/JacobZinn

Father-son team hosts car show
Second event returns to PNE fairgrounds June 21 and 22 Jacob Zinn staff reporter
There’s something about classic cars that brings generations of gearheads together. Maybe that’s why a local father and son are behind one of the Lower Mainland’s biggest car shows. Phil and Jason Heard, of Burnaby, are returning to the PNE Fairgrounds to run the second annual Vancouver Collector Car Show & Auction on June 21 and 22. The father-son duo started the event last year and drew more than 16,000 people to the 12-acre site, making the car show the second biggest event on the fairgrounds next to, well, the fair. “We had 500 cars on display and 116 cars on the auction block last year,” said Phil. “This year, we’re going to 700 cars on display, we hope, and about 175 across the auction. “The quality of the cars from last year to this year in the auction has just gone way up.” Phil has a history of organizing car-centric events: He was the general manager of the Molson Indy for six of its 15 years. But his love of cars stems back to when he bought a brand new 1970 Mustang Fastback as a young man, and that passion has since rubbed off on Jason. “For me, I got the opportunity to work at the Indy when I was only 18 and continued on until I was probably 25,” said Jason. “You get into it pretty easy with that kind of history.” Five or six years ago, the Heards bought a 1970 Cougar Convertible, which really invigorated their shared passion for cars. “We started going to all the events – we must’ve one year done 35 classic events during the summer and kind of realized that there was something missing out of all of them,” said Jason. But their idea for an auction didn’t come until they bought their second classic car together: A 1972 red-and-black Mustang from San Diego, which saw Jason driving 26 out of 28 hours. “The Vancouver Auto Show invited us to put it into Classic Alley, which is an area they have within their show that shows old cars, classic cars,” said

For the love of cars: Jason Heard, of Burnaby, and his dad Phil are back to run the second annual Vancouver Collector Car
Show & Auction at the PNE Fairgrounds in Vancouver on June 21 and 22. They’re expecting more than 20,000 people to attend this year’s event, which will likely have more than 700 cars on display. Phil. “We couldn’t believe the number of people that were taking pictures of these classic cars. “There was a big culture in classic cars, and so we thought there needs to be a show.” The car show has a wide variety of vehicles for every car buff – pre-war cars, hot rods, low riders and muscle cars. They also have motorcycle demonstrations, airbrush artists, live music, beer gardens and the chance to test drive a Model T Ford. “It’s more of a celebration of automobilia,” said Jason. “On 12 acres, you’ve got to have some fun.” Jason said they’re expecting north of 20,000 people to attend this year, and that the auction is quite the show in itself. The auction has three cars that were on dis-
play at the Specialty Equipment Market Association Show in Las Vegas, as well as a 2006 GT40 with a Whipple twin supercharger that boasts 850 horsepower, and a 1959 Mini with triple its normal horsepower. “This thing’s just a wicked little gokart – the guy said it’ll toast Mustang GTs off the line,” said Jason. “My favourite car so far in the entire thing is a ‘54 Chevy Bel Air custom – it has the most amazing blue colour. It is just the hottest car I’ve ever seen. I want to bid on it, but I know I won’t be able to afford it at the end of the day.” In addition, A&W has donated an orange 1966 Plymouth Satellite with 400 horsepower for auction, with all money raised going to the Multiple Sclerosis
Society of Canada. The weekend has become a multi-generational affair for the Heards, as Jason’s son Will is getting into cars. And there are plenty of other fathers and sons who come out to see the fairgrounds loaded with classic cars. “We do see a lot of fathers and sons over the two days,” said Jason. “We’re the weekend after Father’s Day, so we always do promotions for fathers and sons.” The fair runs from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday, June 21, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, June 22. Tickets are $15, but kids under the age of 13 get in free with an adult. For more information, check out vancouvercollectorcars.com. twitter.com/JacobZinn
Classic car show marks Father’s Day at museum Looking for something to do for Father’s Day? The Burnaby Village Museum is hosting a special day, just for dads, on Sunday, June 15 from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. “We’re calling it ‘come and have fun with your father,’ and I guess we’ve kind of stereotyped fathers and cars,” said Nancy
Check
Stagg, museum spokesperson. “Most guys are interested in looking at cars, even if they’re not interested in what’s under the hood.” Throughout the day, there will be costumes on display, filmmaking and archival footage of Burnaby for viewing, movie set memorabilia, and antique movie

cameras and photos of Burnaby’s early movie theatres. The Greater Vancouver Motorsport Pioneer Society is putting on a classic car show, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., featuring vintage cars from the 1920s to 1950s, and that wraps up with a parade at 3:20 p.m. “That will be quite exciting to
see them all revved up,” Stagg said. From noon to 4 p.m., there will be someone from the Squamish First Nation, demonstrating wool-weaving techniques and telling stories on the history of the nation. At 1 p.m., there’s an auto shop, where volunteers work on a car from the 1920s and
show how it works. Admission is free. “The only things families will need to pay for is their carousel rides and treats from the icecream parlour,” Stagg said. The museum is at 6501 Deer Lake Ave. For more information, call 604-297-4565. – Jennifer Moreau

Lively City: Choir director needed continued from page 13
The choir is a four-partharmony group open to seniors over the age of 55. It performs two programs a year – Christmas music in December and “golden oldies” in May – at seniors’ residences and care homes. It’s a volunteer-run choir, so the position is a volunteer one. The director should have strong leadership and choral conducting skills, with education and experience in training senior singers and the ability to conduct from the piano when required. For information, call Christine Leston at 604516-0277.
Frankie’s back
And here’s some more news from Burnaby native Frankie Cena … Hot on the heels of announcing his upcoming big concert at the Michael J. Fox Theatre, Frankie has sent out an email to let
us know about his latest accomplishment: being selected to co-host the Mr. World 2014 competition. The competition is taking place in Torquay, England, with a live broadcast of the final on Sunday, June 15. Frankie (who grew up in Burnaby and now lives in Port Moody) was selected as Mr. World Canada in 2013 and competed in the Mr. World competition, making the top 10 overall and winning the talent portion of the competition. “Of all the potential hosts they could have chosen in England, or the other finalists in my year of Mr. World, they chose me, what an honour,” says Frankie. His co-host will be Megan Young, Miss World 2013 and a major celebrity in the Philippines. Frankie – who’s best known as a singer – brings his talents to the stage in Burnaby on Thursday,
June 26. Check out www. frankiecena.ca to keep on top of all the news. For more on his concert, search for “Frankie Cena in Concert” on Facebook.

Pause and take stock of life’s meaning
HEALTHWISE
I
Dr. Davidicus Wong
n medicine and in life, there are times when we ought to pause and ask about the meaning of it all. Patients and doctors alike can get lost when we react instead of reflect – when we reflexively choose a test, a drug or another intervention in response to a symptom or condition. When I consulted in hospital ethics, I would be called to assist families making choices about their loved ones’ life support in the intensive care unit. An elderly man may have suffered a stroke and lost his ability to understand his circumstances and communicate his wishes. Not being able to safely swallow, he is fed by a nasal feeding tube. After two weeks, he undergoes
a procedure to insert the tube directly through the skin overlying his stomach. This is complicated by a wound infection. Because of his bladder catheter, he requires antibiotics for recurrent urinary tract infections. Because of his decreased level of consciousness, he develops pneumonia, requires more antibiotics and eventually a ventilator to support his breathing. Because of numerous antibiotics, he acquires C. difficile diarrhea that is difficult to control because of resistance to multiple antibiotics. By the time I was consulted, the patient is feverish, obtunded and unaware of his circumstances. The tests, medications and procedures of modern health care are but tools. Medical ethics guides the individual (or a substitute decision-maker if the patient is incapable of making informed decisions) in choosing the most appropriate tools. And the purpose of

live. Live meaningfully. Live passionately. I wonder how many of us really do that. I suspect that most of us just settle and accept a life that is good enough rather than a life that is great. After all, we’re working hard enough just to keep up. Why risk everything on a great adventure? We can get side tracked living the life we did not choose but just fell into, or we can pursue goals that are not ours but rather dictated by our families, peers and commercial culture.
What is your bliss? It is that which brings you joy. When you are engaged in what you were meant to do, you enter the zone. You forget your sense of time and your sense of self as you become a part of something bigger. It is the answer to the call of life. It begins with an openness to life and the opportunities it offers you, to others and their needs, and to your own experience of being alive. It calls for the intention to make this your priority, and it

After antibiotics and unsuccessful surgery I was skeptical that a tea could help. The testimonials made me try it and to my delight they were true.

Helps to promote healthy mood balance, relaxation, use as a sleep aid and mental stress. Stress is one of the main causes of high blood pressure. Truthful experience by people: ! I am calm now in stressful situations! In the past 10 years I had a very short fuse, because my job is quite unpredictable. After I started Bell Calming Chronic Stress #66 the difference was amazing. My reactions to stressful situations are totally changed. I also have more energy, too. I don’t yell at others. I have more patience and I am much happier as well. Thank you. Mary-Anne Thompson, 61, Lasalle, ON ! I suffered #66 NPN 80041855 greatly from anxiety. Standard treatments did not make me feel good. So my mother bought Bell Calming Chronic Stress #66 and it has been helping me a lot. I am on my 3rd bottle. Remington Fletcher, 19, Ponty Pool, ON ! I have a very high stress career in the film industry. There was no time for relaxation or meditation as you are on demand for 12-15 hours a day with no breaks. Since using Bell #66I am able to focus on the tasks at hand with more patience. Thank you for your help! Christina Ollson, 36, Burnaby, BC !It’s exactly one year since we began using Bell Calming Chronix Stress #66 for our two sons. Our local health food store recommended it. Both of our sons suffer from anxiety disorders. Our older son (14) was going through puberty and had become quite unmanageable, because he is much larger than I am. We are delighted with the immediate results. Our older son became his former sweet self and our younger son’s (12) anxiety is dramatically reduced. Thank you so much.

The dealer’s service department confirms this. The rear differential gear oil, automatic-transmission fluid, power-steering fluid, brake fluid, engine coolant, etc., have to come from Honda, they say. Dire and catastrophic results are promised otherwise. Is there a chance that Honda is overdramatizing this as a way to provide extra revenue to the dealer? – Stan TOM: What the manufacturers tell us is that it’s all

RAY: But they also may be absolutely right about their fluids minimizing corrosion on their own cars.

Ex-A steals a win for Lakers in WLA split Tom Berridge sports editor
The Burnaby Lakers are tied for second place with Langley despite their first loss of the season to the Thunder in Western Lacrosse Association play last week. The senior A Lakers dropped their first game at home 12-8 to Langley on Friday, but rebounded with a low-scoring 6-5 victory over the Adanacs despite being hugely outshot a day later in Coquitlam. Minto Cup-winning keeper Dan Lewis made his first season start a timely one for the visiting Lakers. The former Coquitlam junior made 49 stops, including 15 in the final frame – none bigger than a point-blank save off Brett Hickey with 10 seconds left that salvaged the win for Burnaby. The A’s outshot the visitors 17-4 in the third period. Lewis was named the game’s first star. “(Lewis) definitely stole the game for us,” said Burnaby head coach Rory McDade, who was missing as many as half a dozen regulars out of the lineup. The weekend split upped the Lakers’ record to 3-1-0 just three points behind the as-yet unbeaten 4-0-1 Victoria Shamrocks. The two teams are scheduled to lock horns in
Friday’s feature match at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre at 7:45 p.m. “We’ll be looking forward to (Victoria). They gave it to us pretty good in the playoffs,” McDade said. At home, Ilija Gajic scored a hat trick and added a fourth point in his senior A Lakers’ debut against Langley. Tyler Richards had an off night, stopping just 30 of 42 Langley shots, while former Burnaby junior Brodie MacDonald had 41 saves at the opposite end of the floor for the Thunder. Langley stars Alex Turner had a hat trick in a five-point outing, while Athan Iannucci led all scorers with six points, including a pair of goals. In Coquitlam, Shawn Dhaliwal led the Lakers with three goals in the lowscoring matchup that saw just four markers scored with both teams at even strength. Goals appear to be hard to come by in the early going of the season, remarked McDade. “It seems a goalie steals the game for a lot of teams, and five-on-five it seems like it’s getting tougher and tougher (to score). We’ll have to see if this trend continues,” he said. The Lakers led 6-3 after two periods.

Driver takes first checkered flag Tom Berridge
sports editor
Michael Valiante made sure of the checkered flag at this year’s sports car race at Kansas Speedway. Valiante held off a challenge by runner-up Wayne Nonnamaker in a Porsche Cayman, driving the Hart of America Team Honda Civic Si to victory for the first time this season. Last year, the Burnaby race driver was penalized after finishing first in the street tuner class in the inaugural Continental Tire Challenge race in Kansas. On Saturday, Valiante took over from co-driver Chad Gilsinger and
grabbed the lead with 45 minutes remaining in the 150-hour race and didn’t miss a beat. Valiante got by pole sitter Rebel Rock Racing’s Charles Espenlaub in another Cayman and then held off a still challenge from Team Sahlen to post HART’s first podium win. Nonnamaker, who set a race lap record time of 1:27.416 in the Team Sahlen Porsche over the 2.37-mile circuit, made numerous attempts to pass, but all were unsuccessful. “This was one of the toughest wins I’ve had,” said Valiante in a IMSA media release. “I knew I couldn’t make any mistakes, particularly when they are on your
bumper. I kept telling myself, ‘hit your marks, hit your marks,’ and get good exit shots, and I was able to pull it off.” Valiante, who also drives a Daytona prototype Chevrolet for the Spirit of Daytona team is currently tied for fifth place in the Tudor United Sportscar Championship. Burnaby’s Remo Ruscitti, who was in sixth place in the street tuner driver standings in another Porsche prior to the race, posted the secondfastest lap time of the day at 1:27.611, but finished in 23rd place after completing just 75 laps in the race. Next race is June 28 at Watkins Glen, New York.
Burnaby Winter Club names new hockey director Tom Berridge sports editor
What does Burnaby Winter Club’s new hockey director Maco Balkovec have in common with Scott Neidermayer, Sandis Ozolinsh and Alexei Zhitnik? Answer: They are all defencemen taken in the 1991 National Hockey League draft. Balkovec was a fifth-round pick of the Chicago Blackhawks back in the ‘91 draft and was the highest junior A player selected out of the B.C. Hockey League that year. The former Burnaby Minor product was an all-star blueliner in his final season with the Merritt
Centennials before earning a full scholarship to the University of Wisconsin, where he scored 16 goals and recorded 80 points in four seasons with the varsity Badgers. After knocking around the East Coast Hockey League and playing one season in Europe in the German first division, Balkovec returned to his university roots where he became a highly regarded high school teacher and hockey coach in Wisconsin. He has the distinction of taking two different schools to a state championship in the past five years and was twice named coach of the year in Wisconsin. Balkovec will take over the
direction of hockey at the winter club on July 1 and intends on bringing that same level of results. “I could not be more excited about the opportunity to return to B.C. and take over the reins as hockey director for BWC,” Balkovec said in a club release. “My goal is to strengthen Burnaby Winter Club’s reputation as the premier destination for hockey development in Western Canada, a place where we emphasize comprehensive and complete development of every athlete in our program.” Winter club president Ryan Wilson described Balkovec as a “high level communicator and
coach with a vision for the club that emphasizes player development.” Balkovec’s coaching philosophy is to grow talent from within, ensuring equal access to development opportunities to all aspiring players. “It’s more touches on the puck and more coaches encouraging and correcting finer details of the game that will make a difference for all of our players,” Balkovec added. Burnaby Winter Club offers comprehensive programs for players as young as four years of age on up to the new Hockey Academy program for midgetaged athletes.

JR. A LACROSSE
Lakers get third win of season Burnaby will need every ounce of that positivity heading into a weekend of back-to-back games against the 6-5-1 Victoria Shamrocks. It doesn’t get any easier for the Lakers, looking past this week and to the To watch next three weeks of a video, the schedule. Three of scan with Burnaby’s final Layar six games of the season are against either Coquitlam or New Westminster. “We’re moulding as a team, so we’re doing a lot better in general, Wong added. Burnaby takes on Victoria at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre on Sunday at 5 p.m. To view a video of the game highlights and postgame interview, go to www. burnabynow.com/sports and click on story.
The Burnaby Lakers moved out of the basement of the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League with an 8-6 win over Langley on Sunday. The junior A Lakers started quickly, jumping out to a 4-0 lead after the first period and upped that advantage to 5-0 on a goal by Justin Appels to start the second stanza. But a natural hat trick by Langley’s Duston Doudelet made it a more interesting contest the rest of the way. “It’s been a bunch of ups and downs for our team, so this was really crucial for us,” said transition runner Corey Wong, who tallied a pair of goals, including the game-winner at 57 seconds of the final period. Rookie under-age junior Tyler Vogrig also potted a pair of goals, while older
brother Ryan led the Lakers with a four-point outing, including his third counter of the season. Appels and captain Peyton Lupul also collected three points in the win for Burnaby. David Mather was solid in goal with 33 stops for Burnaby. The victory improved Burnaby’s record to date to 3-9-1, sixth best in the eight-team loop. After coming off a streak of just one tie in its last eight games, the Lakers badly needed to get back into the win column. “Honestly, I feel our coach stresses we have a positive mindset and it’s helped us going forward,” said Wong. “We’re coming together. It’s a big part of why we could pull off a win tonight.”
Disabled team escapes from the rock in Alcatraz tri
Three-time Paralympian Brian Cowie of Burnaby completed the Escape from Alcatraz triathlon with teammate Meyrick Jones of West Vancouver last week. The disabled team – 61-year-old Cowie is visually impaired, while Jones, 40, is a left-leg amputee – finished the 2.4-kilometre swim, the 29-km tandem bike ride and the 13-km run in a time of three hours, 31 minutes and 55 seconds. It was the fourth triathlon the two have entered as a team.
