Free (or nearly free) summer fun

t’s summer, and that means it’s time for all those fun things that come along with the season – from backyard barbecues to road trips to weekends at the cabin. It also means it’s time to watch the bills mount up as you pay for the food, gas and tourist attractions attached to all that fun.

But the good news is, Burnaby is full of things to do that don’t cost anything – or at least, not much. You just have to know how to find them.

Never fear, you don’t have to look far, because we’ve done your homework for you and compiled this list of the Top 10 Free (or Nearly Free) Things to Do in the city this summer.

Among our suggestions (pictured, clockwise from top left) Burnaby Village Museum and Carousel, Burnaby Mountain, getting out on the water at Deer Lake, the Burnaby Art Gallery, the Burnaby Farmers’ Market and Burnaby Central Railway.

Did the dog eat Kinder Morgan’s homework?

City councillors dissatisfied with company’s response to their 1,700 questions Jacob Zinn staff reporter

It was abundantly clear Monday night that Burnaby city council is not satisfied with Kinder Morgan’s response to their 1,700 questions.

At the last meeting, council spent more than an hour criticizing the energy company’s reply to a 300-page information request from the city. The request was submitted as part of the National Energy Board process that’s examining Kinder Morgan’s pipeline expansion plans.

Council claims that more than 62 per cent of their questions were not answered properly or not answered at all and that 14 per cent were only partially answered.

Coun. Nick Volkow compared Kinder Morgan’s “wholly inadequate” responses

to the infamous “my dog ate my homework” grade school excuse and likened the company’s attitude to that of another Houston-based corporation mired in controversy.

“I’ve been around long enough to remember Enron,” said Volkow. “Two of the principles got out just in time, and their names were Rich Kinder and Bill Morgan.

“There was a culture within Enron that I think has been transposed into the company we’re dealing with now. (There’s)

an absolute arrogant belief that they’re dealing with a bunch of rubes up here, and that what they were able to get away with down in Houston, they’re going to be able to get away with it here.”

Among council’s biggest concerns was Kinder Morgan’s apparent conditions for municipalities requesting to see their emergency response plan, as brought up

by Coun. Dan Johnston.

“Vancouver was told specifically that that plan is not available,” he said. “They Kinder Morgan Page 4

Katherine Willett knows how hard it can be to care for a loved one.

Her elderly mother developed mixed dementia, and Willett became her primary caregiver for 17 years. The emotional toll was heavy.

There was worry – worry when her mom left a pot burning on the stove because she decided to cook some potatoes but took a nap instead. There was impatience – Willett grew short-tempered after her mom lost all motivation to dress herself, asking her daughter to do it. And there were tears – a lot of tears. “(One day) I came home, and I just started crying and crying and crying,” Willett says. “It wasn’t because anything bad had happened, it was more the realization that my mother, the woman I knew as my mother, was in serious decline, and she was going to be dying sooner, rather than later.”

One of the most heartbreaking moments for Willett was when she moved her mother into an assisted living facility, knowing that it was no longer safe for her to live at home.

“We gave away a lot of her furniture, and I remember … they were loading the van with her furniture, and she started crying, and I felt really bad,” Willett recalls.

In need: Gerontologist Katherine Willett is with the Burnaby Seniors Outreach Services Society, which has lost the funding for its caregivers program and has launched an online fundraising campaign.

That experience of caring for her mother for nearly two decades left a deep impression on Willett, and she signed up for the gerontology program at Simon Fraser University. She began working with the Burnaby Seniors Outreach Services Society in 2009. Since then, she has been coordinating educational workshops and the annual caregivers’

information and speakers fair, which draws an estimated 200 to 300 people. Linda Comba, the society’s program director, runs a support group for family caregivers. They meet every two weeks, and about 25 people participate.

The three-pronged program is well attended, but it may be coming to an end, now that the United Way is scaling back $1.65 million

in funding for seniors’ programs, due to a drop in donations.

Comba learned in February that the United Way was not going to renew their grant.

“I was in shock. I really was.

I was devastated. We had been led to understand our program was pretty well respected by our funder,” she says, adding that Caregivers Page 4

Kinder Morgan: City unhappy with response on pipeline

O Canada:

The Burnaby-based B.C. Boys’ Choir sang on Parliament Hill on Canada Day as part of a cross-country tour that’s currently underway. The choir, which includes 17 young singers from Burnaby, is touring with the Abbotsford Virtuosi violin ensemble. For more on the tour, see www.burnabynow. com.

the United Way is choosing to focus on the Better at Home program instead.

Funding for the caregivers’ program ran out at the end of June; it costs $50,000 a year to run, and the society is hoping to keep it going.

“It really isn’t that much,” Comba says. “It’s such a dribble, and it does so much good for people.”

Willett says caring for the caregivers is paramount with an aging population and the provincial government’s push to keep seniors at home longer.

“The Ministry of Health has this philosophy of home is best. They’re trying to keep people home longer and longer. That means more work for family caregivers,” she says. “However, the longer seniors stay at home, … the higher the incidence of developing complex care needs.

That means family caregivers will be caring for them longer and also in more complex situations. It’s kind of a double-edged sword.”

The society is looking for funding elsewhere, but it’s difficult when similar programs are competing for the same limited resources.

Burnaby Seniors Outreach Services Society has launched an online crowd-funding campaign, in partnership with Glacier Media, in hopes of keeping the caregivers’ program alive. The society is hoping to raise enough money to cover the next year, which will buy time to find alternative funding.

To donate, go to www.fundaid.ca and type “SOS for Burnaby caregivers” in the search window.

“The demand can only increase with the numbers of seniors who are going to be requiring more care,” Comba says. “The stress levels are already high and will only increase with the changes in community services.”

could sign a confidentiality agreement and look at it, but once they look at it, they couldn’t comment or do anything with it.”

Mayor Derek Corrigan highlighted the issue further, noting that not only would they have to keep quiet about the plan, but that they would have to agree to accept the plan before ever laying eyes on it.

“I’m astounded by the answers and the logic behind the answers, arguing that their emergency response plan is proprietary,” said Corrigan. “How can the National Energy Board, who are supposed to be intelligent people, put up with answers like that?

“It appears that we’re just being dismissed, and that is astounding.”

Greg McDade, the city’s legal counsel, called the ongoing review process “highly irregular,” noting that the question period for Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline allowed intervenors to cross examine the responses.

“Here, the National Energy Board has told us there will be no such opportunity, and in fact, this is the only way the public can ask questions,” he said. “There are two conclusions we can draw from this: This application is simply not ready. It’s not complete.

“The second conclusion is, they’re really contemptuous of the process. They don’t expect there to be any hard questions because all the hard questions are going to be deferred until after approval.”

McDade noted there will be one more round of information requests in the coming months, though Corrigan continued to state how unimpressed he has been with Kinder Morgan’s answers to date.

“Their nonchalant approach to serious questions across the board – from municipalities, not-for-profits, citizens, even the provincial government – either they don’t really care about winning this application, which seems unlikely, or they’re absolutely satisfied in whatever they do that they will win this application. How else could you describe this pitiful effort to respond to what were very serious, very important questions being asked by our staff and many other people across British Columbia in regard to this proposal?”

Neighbours push for traffic light after pedestrian hit Cayley Dobie staff reporter

Residents in the area surrounding Burnaby Hospital are hoping a petition will be the key to bringing much-needed change to a traffic problem they say is only going to get worse.

The four-way stop at Kincaid Street and Smith Avenue, which is nestled in Burnaby’s CascadeSchou neighbourhood near Burnaby Hospital, is a disaster waiting to happen, according to residents in the area.

Jim Favaro and his wife, Karen, have lived in the area since 1986 and have watched the population balloon around them. The four-way stop at Kincaid Street and Smith Avenue is no longer sufficient enough to control the amount of traffic that flows in and out of the area, so Favaro is asking that the city install a traffic light in its place.

“We’ve seen the area go through a lot of change,” he says. “Earlier on, the fourway stops were adequate to meet the needs of the community, but the community has grown quite a bit, as well as the traffic and the through traffic.”

Favaro said Smith Avenue has become a much-used alternative to Boundary Road and the cars that travel up and down the avenue are in

such a hurry that pedestrians really have to hustle to cross safely.

“The pedestrians are dodging the cars and the drivers, they’re urgent to get to work and there just isn’t enough time,” he said.

“People will cross and a car will dash right behind them as soon as they’re clear.”

This is particularly troubling for Favaro. He believes the fast-paced intersection is a danger to pedestrians, especially seniors who need a little extra time crossing the street.

“Our population is aging, the folks with mobility issues, they just can’t cross that quickly,” he said.

“A four-way cross in the past may have been sufficient, however to meet the needs of the community now, we need a traffic light.”

Favaro, who uses the crosswalk on a daily basis to walk his son to and from Cascade Heights Elementary School, has witnessed several what he calls, near “hits” – but on June 30, the near hit didn’t miss.

Favaro’s neighbour Mike Bhangu was hit by a car while he was crossing the four-way stop at Kincaid Street and Smith Avenue at about 5:45 p.m.

Favaro arrived at the scene shortly after Bhangu was struck and helped other area residents tend to

Bhangu and call police and medical personnel.

“This, unfortunately, is not a rare occurrence,” he said. “But it was really encouraging to see so many people stopping to help someone who was injured.”

Luckily, Bhangu survived without any major injuries, but the experience was the final spark needed to prompt Favaro into action.

Later that day, Favaro put together an online petition to garner support for the installation of a traffic light at Smith Avenue and Kincaid Street. The petition already has 72 signatures, more than Favaro expected.

On Sept. 2, Favaro and

his neighbours will be at the city council meeting to present the results of the petition and officially recommend that Mayor Derek Corrigan and city councillors approve the installation of a traffic light at Smith Avenue and Kincaid Street.

Staff told Favaro the issue will be brought by staff to council on July 21 for information only.

“We have to highlight for city hall that the need is here … I think our cause is just and we can defend why we need a light there,” Favaro said.

IN MY OPINION

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Kinder Morgan president speaks Dear Editor:

Re: City upset over Kinder Morgan pipeline fees, Burnaby NOW, Friday, July 4.

Over the past several days various media outlets have reported on a report prepared by Robyn Allan related to the development cost funding of Kinder Morgan’s proposed expansion of the Trans Mountain Pipeline.

The stories and the report in no way present a full explanation of the facts. Let me attempt to describe the fairly complex arrangement that is in place.

In 2008, Trans Mountain found itself facing a growing and unprecedented demand from its shippers for tanker loadings at its Burnaby facility.

As our pipeline also serves the important Lower Mainland gasoline market, and the refinery market in Washington State, the amount of oil we can deliver to our dock in Burnaby is limited.

At the same time, our shippers were attempting to grow offshore markets, and the monthly bidding process that determined who got access to the limited dock space did not provide the certainty they needed to develop these offshore markets.

The solution Trans Mountain proposed, and was supported by our shippers, was we would “auction” space at the dock to the highest bidder for a 10-year period. This process resulted in five of our shippers securing this “firm service” at premiums over the normal pipeline toll.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Opponents misrepresent continued from page 6

The fees collected by Trans Mountain for this service are on average $1.45/barrel, or roughly $28 million per year.

Rather than keeping this additional revenue, Trans Mountain agreed with its shippers, to put the money in reserve to help pay for system improvements, including expansion development plans.

The real long-term solution to the pipeline constraints that lead to the firm service offering is the expansion of the pipeline as is currently being proposed.

The agreement we struck with our shippers was the firm service fees would cover development cost risk for the project, and they would be used to reduce the ultimate total cost of the project if it was approved and built by late 2017.

If we are successful in getting the project approved, approximately $136 million will have been set aside to credit against the total cost of $5.4 billion.

If the project does not proceed, the firm service fees will offset much of the anticipated development cost, and any cost in excess of fees collected will be shared with our shippers.

For large projects such as this, shipper backstopping of development costs is not

uncommon.

In this case, we agreed to use the fee that shippers volunteered to pay for all important increased capacity to B.C., Washington State and tidewater towards the development cost.

Ms. Allan is correct in that the fees paid by those few shippers will be treated as an expense for them, and they are not considered revenue to the pipeline.

However, the important fact she overlooks is that the revenue realized by the shipper for those exported barrels will ultimately be higher than they could otherwise attract selling into the North American market.

Otherwise, they would never voluntarily pay more for the firm dock service.

The shipper, and the Canadian economy, is net better off by exporting the barrel and accessing a world price that exceeds the North American price.

I have continued to attempt to convey the facts about our pipeline expansion plans and will continue to do so in the face of opponents who prefer to misrepresent the facts in order to sway the public’s opinion.

Ian Anderson, president, Kinder Morgan Canada *Editor’s note: The Burnaby NOW contacted Kinder Morgan for an interview for the story and did not receive a reply.

First Nations: Can shut down projects continued from page 6

it represents a reiteration of established law regarding aboriginal title that has been developed over decades,” it said.

Another prominent law firm, MacMillan LLP, had this to say: “With the exception of clarifying what is required to establish occupation, the decision does not make significant changes to the law of aboriginal title as it has come to exist over the last several decades.”

In B.C., the reality on the ground for the past decade or so is that First Nations have had a de facto veto over many significant activities on land claimed as ancestral.

Increasingly, both the provincial government and private sector companies have realized this and have had to ensure that First Nations support is secured – not ignored – before proceeding with a particular development. And, really,

what is the problem with that?

Not having First Nations support can frustrate or even block a particular development (hello there, Northern Gateway pipeline). The court’s decision would seem to cement this reality along more defined lines.

However, while the B.C. government and many companies doing business here are aware of this, the trouble is that many outside interests are not and they (i.e. potential capital investors) may well be thinking that the sky has indeed fallen, particularly if they pay more attention to media coverage than legal analyses. This is where concerns about the impact on the provincial economy arise. It may well be that an investment chill may develop in this province, as potential investors nervously wonder whether it’s safe to invest in a project where the backing of the

First Nations concerned is not secured, or not certain.

It seems likely that the investment world may be unsettled for a period of time, as many things flowing from this decision sort themselves out. There are outstanding questions: what happens to overlapping land claims when it comes to establishing title is an example of just one.

In the meantime, it may be wise and prudent for any natural resource developer to secure the support, if not the outright partnership, of First Nations before proceeding – which is often the case today anyways.

While there’s no doubt the Supreme Court decision is historic and significant, British Columbia has been moving in the decision’s direction for some time now. The sky is not falling, folks, but it may have some storm clouds for a while.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Leave speed limits alone

Dear Editor:

The B.C. government wants to raise the current speed limits on some of our highways by 10 kilometres per hour.

I have read a few articles in reference to the issue, and, frankly, I’m still unsure on the real purpose of their madness.

Are we becoming such a fast-paced society that gaining approximately 10 to 15 minutes on a 400-kilometre trip is going to make a difference?

A vast majority of drivers already surpass the speed limits by anywhere between 10 to 20 w/h, and this, I believe, would continue to be the scenario over and above the new increased speed limit.

I’m convinced we have nothing to gain by this futile and outrageous change. On the contrary, we will increase our consumption of gas, we will increase the emission of greenhouse gases and, more importantly, the number of fatal accidents.

Leave our speed limits alone. Life in the fast lane is nothing more than destructive.

Let’s take a deep breath, slow down and enjoy our trips.

Frank Di Cesare, Burnaby

Washrooms work on transit

Dear Editor:

Re: Should new SkyTrain renos include washrooms?, Burnaby NOW, June 27.

The claim by TransLink that its mandate is public transportation without washrooms is false. At least all bus loops are provided with private staff washrooms that have to be maintained and secured. It would not be too much of a stretch, then, for TransLink to provide public washrooms.

If cost and security are top of TransLink’s corporate mind, then washroom users could be required to insert their Compass Card

A COMPLIMENTARY CONSULTATION AND DENTURE

into a smart lock on the door of a cubicle.

A small fee would be debited from the card; and the identity of the user might be tracked for security and crime prevention purposes.

Teachers’ greed to blame

Dear Editor:

Re: Christy Clark to blame, Letters to the Editor, Burnaby NOW, July 4.

Christy Clark is not to blame for the teachers’ strike – it is called teachers’ greed.

The government of Saskatchewan is presently involved with contract negotiations with teachers. The last teacher contract ended on Aug. 31, 2013, and negotiations are still going on. A 6.5 per cent wage increase over four years offered in October 2013 was rejected by the teachers even after the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation told teachers to vote yes.

A second offer of 7.3 per cent over four years was also rejected in June even after the union told the teachers to vote yes.

What is ironic here is that the Saskatchewan Teachers’ Federation negotiated new contracts twice with the Saskatchewan government, advising the teachers to accept the offers, but still the teachers would not listen to their union.

In summary, it all boils down to the fact that the majority of school teachers are greedy, and that Saskatchewan school teachers are more greedy than their counterpart teachers in B.C. What is amazing is even without a wage increase, most teachers are paid excellent wages and benefits and cannot seem to realize that they only have to work 188 days per year, where the rest of us must work 238 days per year. Unbelievable, as they all have a university education.

Endangered turtles nesting at Burnaby Lake Cayley Dobie staff reporter

Turtle alert!

An endangered Western painted turtle was recently spotted near the outdoor riding arena at Burnaby Lake, and the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources Operations says it was likely looking for a suitable place to nest.

The turtle was spotted by the NOW on June 26 at the Burnaby Horsemen Association facilities on the east side of Burnaby Lake. A biologist with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources Operations confirmed the turtle was in fact an endangered Western painted turtle, the only indigenous pond turtle left in the province.

When the NOW spotted the turtle at the end of June, it appeared content wandering around the equestrian facilities, including the large outdoor ring adjacent to the parking lot at the Avalon entrance to Burnaby Lake. In fact, the horses were more con-

cerned about the turtle rather than the other way around.

The female turtle appeared to be looking for a suitable place to nest, but according to the ministry’s biologist, the bark mulch in the arena wouldn’t be the best place for it. The turtles prefer sandier locations, as the bark mulch would likely be too warm underground, where the eggs are kept.

According to the ministry, the turtle was probably digging a test pit to see if she could nest in the mulch.

The following week, however, there was no trace of a nest and it was doubtful she actually laid any eggs in the riding area.

If she had chosen that particular spot that would have meant a more than 130-metre trek to Burnaby Lake for her roughly 13 offspring.

The ministry biologist said that if the turtle had nested in the arena, she would have moved the eggs to the nesting beach on the edge of Burnaby Lake.

The move would give the hatchlings a better chance of survival, while they gestate and when they hatch.

Free (or nearly free) summer fun

Looking for a lot of fun without spending a lot of money? Check out our top=10 list of free (or nearly free) summer fun in the city:

1

Take a walk back in time at Burnaby Village Museum.

With admission now free, you just can’t beat the value you can get out of a day at the museum, which walks you back in to the 1920s. Special events, demonstrations and programs are offered throughout the summer. Extra fun this year is the At the Movies summer exhibition, which includes Saturday demos of various aspects of filmmaking – green screen, makeup, stunts and animal handling are among them. Of course, a highlight of any visit to the village is always a spin on the restored 1912 C.W. Parker Carousel. (There is a $2.50 charge for a carousel ride.) And don’t forget to visit the restored Interurban tram No. 1223 and get some treats at the ice cream parlour, too.

The village is open Tuesday to Sunday, plus statutory holidays, from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

It’s at 6501 Deer Lake Ave. See www. burnabyvillagemuseum.ca or call 604-2974565.

2

Take in the view from the top at Burnaby Mountain.

Although a hoped-for gondola won’t be making its way up the mountain anytime soon, you can drive your car or take a bus up instead to enjoy life at the top of the city. It’s home to Simon Fraser University – worth a visit just to check out the architecture and the recognizable academic quadrangle that’s made its way into a lot of movies and TV shows – and the growing UniverCity urban community. And, of course, it also houses the fantastic Burnaby Mountain Conservation area. With trails for hiking and mountain biking, grassy lawn for playing and picnicking, the Centennial Rose Garden and Horizons restaurant for a beautiful lunch or dinner, there’s something for everyone. Don’t miss the awe-inspiring Kamui Mintara (Playground of the Gods) sculpture, a gift from Japanese sculptors Nuburi Toko and his son, Shusei, in honour of the city’s sister city relationship with Kushiro, Japan. And just pause to enjoy the sweeping views over Burnaby, the Burrard Inlet, the North Shore and downtown Vancouver.

Soak in the sounds of summer at Symphony in the Park.

It doesn’t get any better than the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra playing at Deer Lake Park – which probably explains why thousands of people turn out every year to enjoy this free concert. This year’s (the 26th edition) is on Sunday, July 13 at 7:30 p.m. (Tip: You’ll want to arrive early, with blankets and picnic, to stake out your spot.)

The program will offer classical favourites like the overture to Strauss’s Die Fledermaus, Wagner’s Ride of the Valkyries and the ever-popular 1812 Overture by Tchaikovsky. Featured soloist this year is 17-year-old violinist Lucy Wang.

The great outdoors: The wooded trails at Burnaby Fraser Foreshore Park are just one of many natural spots to enjoy while hiking the city this summer (number 4 on our list of free summer fun in Burnaby).

Parking is limited, so you’ll probably want to take transit (or walk, or ride your bike).

Check out more at www.vancouver symphony.ca.

Take a hike. And another. And another.

Never mind about the crowds who flock to the North Shore for the Grouse Grind. Burnaby has its own “Grind” trail – the 1,400-metre Velodrome Trail that starts in the gravel parking lot at the Doug Drummond trailhead, just north of the Harry Jerome Sports Centre on the north side of Barnet Highway.

“Hikers experience natural forests through the gradual (average grade 20 per cent) 240-vertical-metre elevation climb,” the city’s website notes.

“Reaching the hillside base are the impressive 500 timber stairs that wind up the steep slope and into Pandora Trail.

The trail continues until it enters the open meadow below Horizons Restaurant, and there you discover the outstanding towering Kamui Mintara totems, reach the highest point of the route and savour the breathtaking views of Burrard Inlet and Indian Arm.” If uphill is not your thing, never fear.

There are hosts of other places to walk in Burnaby – a stroll along the Fraser River at Burnaby Fraser Foreshore Park, a circuit of Burnaby Lake, the network of trails at Central Park or a meander around Deer Lake and its surroundings are among some popular favourites.

Byrne Creek Ravine Park, Barnet Marine Park, Robert Burnaby Park and Squint Lake Park are among the other parks offering walking trails.

Check out www.tinyurl.com/ BurnabyTrails.

Get arty at the city’s galleries.

Whether you’re an art expert or a newcomer to the gallery scene, Burnaby’s galleries will offer something of interest for you.

There’s the Burnaby Art Gallery (www.burnabyartgallery.ca, 604-2974422) in historic Ceperley House at Deer Lake (6344 Deer Lake Ave.) It’s open Tuesday to Friday, 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Saturday and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m.

Admission is by donation, and the exhibits are accompanied by a variety of public programs – including tours and hands-on family activity sessions. Check out the website for the most current exhibition information.

Just down the way, at 6584 Deer Lake Ave., you can also visit the Deer Lake Gallery, run by the Burnaby Arts Council.

It’s open Tuesday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and on weekends during exhibitions. Call 604-298-7322, email info@burnabyartscouncil.org or check out www.burnabyartscouncil.org for current exhibition information. It’s free.

And don’t forget about the SFU Gallery, up on Burnaby Mountain. It’s in the Academic Quadrangle, Room 3004 – on Level 3, across from the Shrum Science Centre. It’s open noon to 5 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday (closed Saturdays on holiday weekends). Check out www.sfu.ca/ galleries for all the details, or call 778-7824266 or email gallery@sfu.ca.

6

Browse, buy and eat at the Burnaby Farmers’ Market.

You just can’t beat a community farmers’ market for a great way to start your weekend. The Burnaby market runs Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the north parking lot at Burnaby City Hall (Canada Way at Deer Lake Parkway). It runs every

Saturday until Oct. 25, and there are a variety of special events: the Teddy Bears’ Picnic on July 19, Great Zucchini Races on Aug. 16, Dog Day on Sept. 20 and a Scarecrow Contest on Oct. 18.

Each weekend, you can browse among the offerings of conventional and organic produce, prepared foods and crafts, and there are also fun extras like a kids’ area, a reading area, games table and live music.

Check out www.artisanmarkets.ca for all the details.

7

Discover Japanese Canadian Culture at the National Nikkei Museum and Cultural Centre.

The Nikkei Centre is a cultural gem that may not be as well-known as it should be, considering what a host of programs and activities it offers. The museum gallery is open Tuesday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. – the current installation is Ghostown, Steven Nunoda’s homage to his family’s past in the Japanese Canadian internment camps, which runs until Aug. 31. Special events in the summer include workshops and book readings, plus the Nikkei Matsuri festival on Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 30 and 31.

Check out centre.nikkeiplace.org, drop in to 6688 Southoaks Cres. (near Kingsway and Sperling Avenue) or call 604-777-7000 for more details.

It’s all aboard for family fun at the miniature railway in Confederation Park.

ASK A PHARMACIST Q.

Myallergiesarereallybotheringme-whatallergymedication would you recommend?

A. There are several types of allergy medications currently on

the market. First-generation medications, like Benadryl and Chlortripolon, work well to reduce itchiness but can cause drowsiness and should only be taken at night. Benadryl is the worst offender for drowsiness, but this can be a positive thing if you have trouble sleeping due to allergies. Chlor-tripolon causes mild drowsiness, but with this drug, individuals usually build tolerance against this side effect and Hassan Lalani Owner, Target Pharmacy can take it during the day.

Second-generation antihistamines, including Claritin, Aerius, Reactine, and Allegra, are all very similar and alleviate most allergy symptoms with the exception of congestion. If congestion is your main allergy symptom, a combination decongestant with antihistamine and pseudoephedrine in it might be more appropriate for you. A side effect of the combination decongestant is that they have a tendency to keep you awake and raise blood pressure if taken too close to bedtime. Another option to alleviate congestion is a prescription nasal spray.

Prescription nasal sprays work well and are much safer than the over-the-counter nasal sprays that cause rebound congestion if overused. All the second-generation antihistamines are non-drowsy; however, Reactine has been known to cause drowsiness in some individuals. After using the same allergy medication for a period of time, your body may build tolerance to the effects and it would be best to switch to a different brand.

For all your allergy needs, please come into Target Pharmacy Metrotown, where I would love to discuss all of your allergy options with you.

The company, formally operating as Sears Hearing Center, was started

by David Lloyd. The company grew to become a family affair as Robert and Stuart Lloyd, David’s sons, joined the practice is 1986 and 1993 respectively.

“While we enjoyed a good working relationship with Sears, it was time for a change. As an independent operator, we now have the freedom to make necessary upgrades and provide unparalleled top-quality care to each and every customer,” explains Stuart Lloyd, owner and primary operator of Lloyd Hearing Solutions. “When my father started the hearing clinic over 43 years ago, he built our family business on integrity, trust and professionalism. I am proud to say that those values have been maintained when caring for clients today.”

Lead by Stuart Lloyd, yesterday marked the one-year anniversary of the company opening its doors as Lloyd Hearing Solutions at the new location at #205-5066 Kingsway. Stuart said that something that has been especially great is the support that Lloyd Hearing Solutions has received from their customers – just another testimonial to the fact that Lloyd Hearing Solutions provides great service.

“I take the time to get know each client and make sure that I am providing the highest standard of individualized care,” says Stuart. “It’s important to educate customers as well, because each person is unique and personal preferences play a big part. It’s like when you buy a set of speakers, not everyone prefers the same sound - same thing for hearing aids. What sounds good for one person might not sound good for the next, so it’s important to educate customers how to tell us what sounds good and is comfortable for them.”

ASK A DENTIST

Q. Why do my old silver fillings look black?

A. The silver (amalgam) fillings that were used for many

years contained a mixture of metal alloy containing silver, tin, copper and mercury. As with many metals that are exposed to a wet environment, they will begin to break down and oxidize, often times turning black. When this happens, the filling itself is weakened and shrinks, which Dr. Poulad allows bacteria to enter the gaps and create new decay. Your Dentist, Ocean Dental regular exam and hygiene visits allow us to check any fillings you have and look for new leakage and decay.

Our office has elected to no longer use silver (amalgam) fillings for our patients, following many studies and concerns related to the mercury they contain. In 2007 when our new office was built we followed protocol requiring the installment of a mercury trap to contain and collect any waste from old fillings. This is then removed from our office on a routine basis and handled by a Biohazard waste specialist group to ensure safe disposal.

Many of our patients comment that they really like the look of their new white (composite) fillings as it returns their teeth to a more natural looking state. We hope this makes them smile a lot more too.

Is it time to check your old fillings to make sure they are safe and healthy?

Soccer Selects strike gold at A Cups Tom Berridge

sports editor

The Burnaby Selects won two of three B.C. Soccer Provincial A Cup finals.

The under-13 Selects won their first A Cup title, eking out a 10 victory over Lower Mainland rival Surrey Guildford United at Burnaby Lake Sports ComplexWest on Sunday.

The u-15 Selects tasted gold for a third consecutive time, coming back from a one-goal deficit to eventually win 3-2 in a shootout over Surrey FC Pegasus.

The u-16 For Selects had to more photos, settle for the silver medal scan following a 3-1 with Layar defeat to Surrey Guildford also at Burnaby Lake-West.

The u-13’s got on the board early, scoring in the opening minute from Justin Petkovic, who took a through ball from Richard Culleton and put it through the goalkeeper’s legs from six yards out for what stood up as the cupwinner.

The win came as a measure of revenge for Burnaby, which lost to the Surrey side in the Coastal Cup earlier this season.

“I was happy we beat them in the provincials,” said Petkovic.

U-13 coach Scott Stefanek said playing at home was a big factor in the team’s preparation for the big game.

“All these things we couldn’t do at the Coastal Cup,” said Stefanek.

“The boys came together at the right time.”

Nicolas Sanchez also made his presence felt at the right time for the u-15’s.

Sanchez scored both goals for the Selects, tying the match on

Game saver: Nicolas Sanchez, left, celebrates his game-tying goal

against Surrey FC Pegasus that eventually sent the Provincial A Cup under-15 boys’ soccer final to a shootout. The Burnaby Selects won 5-3 on penalty kicks. two separate occasions, including a late second-half scramble that sent the game into extra time.

His first tied the game 1-1 mid-

way through the second half. The extra time was scoreless.

Sanchez also scored the team’s fourth goal in the shootout that

went Burnaby’s way 5-3.

Devon Sandhu scored the cupclincher for Burnaby, while keeper Jason Negus got a left hand on a shot from the spot to earn the win.

The u-15’s finished second in the Metro league to Surrey Pegasus and while qualifying for the provincials were left out of this year’s Coastal Cup. The Selects more than made up for it at the provincials.

Burnaby won its group without a goal scored against, including a tight 1-0 win over Peg earlier in the competition.

“This year, the history started.

(Surrey Pegasus and us) play the game quite hard, very similarly,” said Burnaby assistant coach Mario Montagliani. “We’re two good teams. It could have gone either way. Our impact players showed up.”

What was perhaps more gratifying than winning a third straight Provincial A Cup title was how they did it, Montagliani added.

“We lost 10 players to the high performance league in the last 12 months and we still managed to get back here. That’s the most satisfying.”

The u-16 Selects were disappointed following their match against Surrey.

Daniel Johnson scored first, taking a through ball in the clear and beating the Surrey keeper with a well-directed touch.

But Guildford took the lead with a pair of goals in the second half, before icing the win with a third tally late in the period.

The Burnaby Selects also fielded a Metro league girls’ team in the u-16 division at the A Cup. The Coastal Cup champions failed to make it through to the gold-medal round, finishing group play with a 1-2-0 record.

Jr. Lakers finish positive season with a flurry Tom Berridge

sports editor

The junior A Burnaby Lakers went out with a great, big bang.

The Lakers finished up their B.C. Junior Lacrosse League season with fireworks at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre, outscoring the Nanaimo Timbermen 17-12 to finish in a tie for sixth place.

Burnaby NOW’s league rookie of the year, Tyler Vogrig, scored an unofficial league-high five goals and eight assists to lead the Lakers.

Dave Mather, who gave up 12 goals on 30 shots in the first two period, buckled down in the final frame, blanking the T-Men the rest of the way.

The win, Burnaby’s fifth of the season, was a watermark in many ways for the resurgent club that was almost a dead franchise last year.

“In the last three weeks, they played some great lacrosse,” said first-year Burnaby coach Brad Parker, whose systems and demeanor

helped put the club back on track. “They’re already talking about next year. Last year, they were talking about getting as far away from this place.”

But, that’s all changed.

Burnaby finished with a record of 5-15-1, but the final game proved in many ways the Lakers regard themselves as winners.

One example was the return of rookie righthander Aiden Milburn, who missed much of the second half of the season with a shoulder injury. Milburn risked further injury, returning to the lineup for the final game and scored his 34th goal of the year.

Burnaby’s knocked-up back end played Nanaimo with just two regular defenders but clamped down in the final period to help shut out the T-Men. “You know what? They did what they were told. Our goalkeeper and our offence came through,” said Parker. “In the last three weeks, we’ve been in every game we played. And although we ran out of bodies, they have some confidence and they didn’t want to leave the

floor tonight.”

That rare sight in junior lacrosse was in many ways the most telling observation of them all.

“It was a lot of fun and a good group of guys,” said Australian-born Matt Shields, who lives in Seattle and plays the field game in North Carolina. Shields scored a career-high four goal for Burnaby, including a natural hat trick in the middle period that tied the contest at 12-12.

Matthew Bailey, who stepped in for captain Peyton Lupul in the final game, said “It was good to be competitive and a lot more positive.”

“We’ve done two things,” Parker added.

“We built confidence and we’ve built a system for them to play in. It took a while, … but they’ve accepted both. For a coach, it’s pretty rewarding. They’re looking at next year.”

But the final word went to Mather, who carried much of the load for the Lakers and Lacrosse Page 16

Burnaby golfers in the chase Tom Berridge sports editor

Sumie Francois of Burnaby placed ninth at the B.C. junior girls’ provincial golf championships.

Francois tied Janet Zhang of Richmond and Nanaimo’s Shirin Anjarwalla for a spot in the top 10, following a sixover-par 298 total in the 72-hole final played at the Dunes in Kamloops July 1 to 4.

The 14-year-old Francois finished the provincial tournament with the second-lowest score of the day – a one-under 72.

Canada junior team member Naomi Ko of Victoria, 16, won the girls’ event with a six-under 286.

Kathy Lim of Langley and Alix Kong of West Vancouver were two and three shots back, respectively.

Francois fired rounds of 76-74-76 and 72.

New Westminster’s Breanna Croxen and Jacklyn Duchen of Burnaby both missed the cut.

Francois had 11 birdies, including four in the final round, 15 bogeys and just one double-bogey in the four-day competition.

Recently, older brother Alex Francois placed in a tie for fourth place in the Zone 4 men’s amateur championship last month.

Michael Belle of Burnaby won the men’s amateur title with a six-under-par 137.

Alex, who was the runner-up in the Zone 4 junior boys’ championship, finished with a one-under 142 total.

Kevin Vigna and Lucas Gatto finished at six- and seven-over-par, respectively, in the 36-hole men’s amateur competition.

The junior boys’ provincial competition kicked off this Tuesday at the Meadow Gardens Golf Club in Pitt Meadows. The 72-hole provincial final wraps up on July 11.

The following week, the 112th B.C. amateur championships takes place at the Seymour Golf and Country Club in North Vancouver.

The 72-hole competition runs July 15 to 18.
