MLA confronted by protesting teachers Cornelia Naylor staff reporter
Liberal MLA Richard T. Lee faced a couple dozen protesting teachers at his Willingdon Avenue constituency office Monday afternoon. The Burnaby Teachers’ Association organized the rally to “amplify” its call for government to enter into arbitration with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation to end the ongoing teachers’ labour dispute that has already wiped out more than a week of school. The BCTF called for binding arbitration Friday, but government has rejected the notion. Even before the offer, Education Minister Peter Fassbender told the NOW last week the government was not considering arbitration. “Arbitration allows a third party to come in and make decisions that should be made by the parties at the negotiating table,” he said. Teachers around the province will nonetheless vote on arbitration today (Wednesday). A “yes” vote would end the strike and reopen the schools as soon as the government agreed to arbitration. Back in Burnaby, Lee told teachers he would bring their message about arbitration back to the minister. “I think everybody has the right to express their opinion,” he said.

City takes case to Supreme Court staff reporter
The City of Burnaby has filed a civil claim in B.C. Supreme Court to keep Kinder Morgan out of the Burnaby Mountain conservation area. The move, made Monday, is the latest in the legal battle over the city-owned land, where Kinder Morgan has been cutting trees for survey work for a new pipeline route. The city is also asking the court for a temporary injunction to stop the company from cutting trees before the court decides on the matter.

“We have no other options. We tried to raise these issues at the NEB, we tried to deal with the company itself, and now we are in B.C. Supreme Court,” said the city’s lawyer, Gregory McDade. “It’s fairly straightorward. Municipal bylaws are enforceable by court injunction.” The bylaw McDade was referring to forbids anyone from cutting trees in a city park, something Kinder Morgan did last week during survey work. The city should know by Thursday if the B.C. Supreme Court will grant the temporary
injunction, but that still won’t solve the larger question of jurisdiction. Much of the mountain is city property, yet the National Energy Board Act says companies can conduct work without the landowners’ permission. The city, which is opposed to the pipeline expansion, has argued that cutting trees is breaking the local bylaw. “Eventually the question will be whether the NEB ruling has the jurisdiction to override Burnaby’s bylaws,” McDade said. “That can only be raised in B.C. Supreme Court, and it has Battle Page 3

Residents got exactly what they wanted on Monday night as city council approved a full traffic light at the busy intersection of Kincaid Street and Smith Avenue. Less than a week after the proposal was presented to the traffic and safety committee, councillors voted in favour of the traffic signal at the Burnaby council meeting on Sept. 8. The push for a signal at Kincaid Street and Smith Avenue began on June 30 when local resident Jim Favaro witnessed his neighbour Manjinger Bhangu get hit by a passing car while crossing the street. Fed up with the dangerous intersection and repeated near misses, Favaro started a petition to ask city hall to install a full traffic signal at Kincaid and Smith. More than 160 people signed the petition, all of whom shared Favaro’s concern for pedestrian safety in the intersection. After submitting the petition to city hall, Favaro and Bhangu presented the traffic light proposal to the traffic and safety committee on Sept. 2. In the presentation, Favaro cited several factors as contributing to the increase in traffic in the area, including residential growth, increased traffic to nearby

businesses and continued use of the intersection by ambulances coming and going from Burnaby Hospital. The presentation, it seems, had the effect Favaro intended because the proposal was added to the Sept. 8 council agenda and was
subsequently approved. The traffic light at Kincaid Street and Smith Avenue is expected to cost about $230,000 and will be included in the 2015 budget. “Our only hope was this could happen before the kids get back to school but (Coun. Sav Dhaliwal)
mentioned that all the funds were allocated for this year and we respect that,” Favaro told the NOW following the traffic and safety committee last week. “One doesn’t just snap a finger and a light goes up, there’s a process. You’ve got to do it right.”

to be raised by the company if they are going to make that argument.” The notice of civil claim also argues the NEB has no jurisdiction to override city bylaws, McDade added. “The company has been claiming they have that right, but no court has given it to them. Now they are not cutting, so we want the court to ensure the status quo continues while we have that constitutional discussion,” he said. Last week, Kinder Morgan applied to the National Energy Board for an order that would compel the city to comply with the NEB Act, allowing the pipeline company to finish working in the conservation area. The order could be enforced by a court if need be. The NEB is giving the City of Burnaby until Sept. 10 to comment on Kinder Morgan’s request, and then the company has a further five days to state its position before the board makes a decision on the matter.

McDade said the court’s final decision on jurisdiction could take weeks or months. Kinder Morgan was not available for immediate comment, but Mayor Derek Corrigan issued a press release blasting the company. “This pipeline has not been approved, but Kinder Morgan thinks nothing of illegally entering our park, causing irreparable harm to the ecosystem and defying the laws our citizens have put in place,” he said in a release. “We will do everything we can as a City to ensure Kinder Morgan does not return.” Meanwhile, there is an anti-Kinder Morgan protest planned for Saturday, Sept. 13, from 2 to 4 p.m. in Burnaby Mountain Park on Centennial Way. At press time, more than 200 people had RSVP’d on Facebook for the event. For updates on this story, go to www. burnabynow.com and follow Jennifer Moreau on twitter, @JenniferMoreau

NEB accepting new applications on pipeline Jennifer Moreau staff reporter
Burnaby Douglas MP Kennedy Stewart is opening his office doors to people who want to have their say on Kinder Morgan’s proposal to run a pipeline through Burnaby Mountain. The National Energy Board is accepting new applications from people hoping to intervene in the pipeline hearing, but only for those affected by the newly proposed route through Burnaby Mountain or those who have expertise to offer. “I encourage residents and those who use the area to apply to have their views heard as the NEB considers whether or not to allow Kinder Morgan to build a second crude-oil, export pipeline from Edmonton to Burnaby,” Stewart said in a news release. “I understand people are skeptical about the hearings, but I believe Canadians must use these official processes so there is a record of their involvement.” Kinder Morgan wants to build a pipeline through Burnaby Mountain to connect the tank farm and the marine terminal while avoiding the Westridge residential area. Much of the mountain is city-owned land and a dedicated conservation area, with possible earthquake hazards

and steep dropoffs. The new application period is for people who are directly affected by the pipeline,
but those with relevant expertise are also invited to apply as participants. The application period
opened Monday and closes on Sept. 24. Stewart’s office will be open Monday to Friday, from 10 a.m. to 5
p.m. The NEB also has process advisors and online training conferences for

At about the same time, the teachchange daily) for not getting schools ers’ leader, Jim Iker, was announcing open than they will for blaming teachers that the teachers were going to vote on for keeping them closed? Who knows? it.
OUR VIEW
Last week we saw duelling press conferences where both sides came out with misinformation designed to sway the public. Premier Christy Clark said the teachers had asked for unlimited massages. Iker said the teachers were still locked out. And neither side appeared to be ready to apologize for any misstatements. Meanwhile, parents are either pulling their hair out or trying to figure if they can afford private school before the next education labour dispute.
We think this all does not bode well for the teachers. Clark knows that if she can keep parents thinking this is about teachers’ wants and not educational needs, she’ll force the teachers even further out on a limb. Their strike fund is in trouble, and union members won’t welcome a dues increase after losing pay on the picket line. The trouble with gamesmanship like this is that it merely perpetuates the game – and education should not be part of a political game.
Recalls won’t get off the ground IN THE HOUSE
T
Keith Baldrey
here’s no doubt that emotions are running high in the teachers’ contract dispute, so it is perhaps not surprising that all kinds of people are trying to whip up enthusiasm getting recall campaigns organized against B.C. Liberal MLAs. All I can say is, good luck with that. Since the recall legislation came into effect in the 1990s, there have been 24 applications for a recall campaign filed with Elections B.C. Only a handful got off the ground, and all failed miserably (one was withdrawn after the MLA in question quit). The bar for recalling an MLA is rightly set very high. For a recall petition to succeed and force a byelection, 40 per cent of the registered voters in the riding in question must sign the petition within 60 days. In a number of B.C.’s ridings, the number of signatures required actually exceeds the number of people who actually voted, in total, in the last provincial election. On social media (Twitter and Facebook), many teach-
ers are excitedly talking about launching a recall campaign against Education Minister Peter Fassbender in his riding of Surrey-Fleetwood. For such a campaign to succeed, 14,226 people in his riding must sign a petition within two months. To put that in perspective, slightly less than 18,000 people in total even voted in Surrey-Fleetwood in the last election (including 8,200 for Fassbender). This means that about 80 per cent of those who voted last time would have to sign the petition, or that thousands of people who didn’t vote before would have to be convinced to participate in an electoral process that they refused to partake in previously. There is little evidence – yet – that the general public is as up in arms over the dispute as the teachers understandably are. There are no doubt a lot of angry and frustrated parents out there, but only about half of those who live in Fassbender’s riding likely even have children in the school system, so why should they be expected to sign a petition booting him from office en masse? Others have suggested a recall campaign against Premier Christy Clark herself in her riding of Westside-Kelowna. There, more than 18,000 people would have to sign a recall petition for it to go forward, which means almost every single person who Strike Page 7
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Teachers just don’t get it Dear Editor:
As a Burnaby resident, I am one of the “silent majority” that sadly cannot support the striking teachers for the following reasons. Firstly, the current government was given a mandate by the people of B.C. to manage the province and its finances for the next five years only 18 months ago, which most teachers and their union just seem unable to accept or respect. They have openly shown defiance to all government and employer attempts to manage or resolve the current dispute, and even seem unwilling to effectively manage the vast funds already provided to education in any constructive, flexible manner,
that times demand. Most other unions and businesses do understand that this last several years have required innovation and flexibility to survive and continue to provide the service or product to its customers. Do we see this from the teachers or their union, or is it the same old rhetoric over and over from them? The teachers, by “their vote to strike” back in May, show no respect or understanding for their own students and families or other union workers or local businesses directly affected by the strike. Their lack of acceptance of anyone else’s view or position on education and its funding (which cannot exist in a vacuum), must and will affect spending on other branches of government and social services Teachers Page 7

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Teachers show disrespect continued from page 6
for many years, if the current teachers’ demands are met in full. To demonstrate my personal disapproval of their strike, I have shown them my view by giving them a clear “thumbs down” several times as I drive past their picket line in my local area, so they have got to know my vehicle, and this morning they collectively jeered me as I drove by, again another level of disrespect for any counter view but their own. As this disrespect seems so ingrained in their whole culture and attitude now, why should I support them when the consequences of their current demands will effect many other parts of my community and our society as we know it in B.C. Tim Savage, Burnaby
Athletes hurt by strike Dear Editor:
This letter is in response to the many letters to the editor regarding the teachers’ strike. I started coaching football in 1998 as a community coach with Coquitlam. I moved to Burnaby Central as a teacher in 2000 and became head coach there in 2002. As a teacher, I am not a proponent of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, but, as a teacher, I must adhere to the union’s goals and directions whether or not they are my own. As a special education teacher of 33 years, I fully understand what they are attempting to achieve. As a coach, I am torn and thoroughly upset that my team is not practising while others are. I have no choice. Burnaby School District has informed me that we are not allowed to practise on the field behind our school. The fact that our helmets are locked up in
the school is secondary. My worry is that certain schools will continue to practise and play games while many of us will be forced to stand on the sidelines. This in itself causes issues with our players who are questioning our integrity because we will not or can not practise. How am I to convince those players that although this is not fair, we are in the right. If/when the strike is over, how can I take my team against another team that may have practised and played for weeks and ensure my parents that their son will be safe. I can’t. He won’t be safe. The British Columbia Secondary Schools Football Association (BCSSFA) has spent the last few years making sure that we understand concussions, have medical staff on the field, teach heads-up tackling etc., yet they allow this inequity to exist and place many players in the province at risk. At present, I am working as an adjunct teaching professor/faculty advisor for UBC. I work with teacher candidates and help them to understand the complexities of being a teacher. One of the standards teachers profess to follow is: Educators value and care for all students and act in their best interests. How can this be if we are placing football players at risk? There is another one: Educators are role models who act ethically and honestly. By letting players continue to practise and/or play, coaches are reinforcing that old, tiresome “jock” attitude of, “I’m a football player, I’m special.” People may dislike this strike, but so do so may of us in the system. However, it isn’t easy to look in the eyes of a player and tell him that, although it is unfair that that coach is not adhering to the standards we are supposed to adhere to, I am and sometimes being right sucks. Jim Stockman, via email
Strike: Recalls just too unlikely continued from page 6
voted in her byelection victory would have to sign it. And I can’t see many of her near-12,000 supporters (those who voted for her last time) siding with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation over having a premier as their MLA. All this talk of recall campaigns suggests, again, that many BCTF members communicate in an echo chamber, where the only thing they hear is each other. The average person wants schools to be open but doesn’t necessarily support the BCTF on everything. As I suggested in last week’s column, the public is likely of the “a pox on both your houses” view when it comes to the teachers’ dispute, which doesn’t translate into booting MLAs from office because the teachers’ union is furious. In the end, a recall
campaign arising from that dispute has about as much a chance of succeeding as does one of BCTF president Jim Iker’s suggestions: raising taxes to pay for a new teachers’ contract. In other words, no chance. ! I see Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson has made the proposed $1.9 billion Broadway subway line the centerpiece of his re-election campaign, but I fail to see how he can realistically expect the province to fund it anytime soon. As I’ve noted before, that line would run right through two provincial ridings – VancouverFairview and VancouverPoint Grey – that gave the boot to the B.C. Liberals in the last provincial election. As a result, the chances of a B.C. Liberal government pushing that particu-
lar transportation project anywhere near the top of its infrastructure priorities list is rather remote. The political centre, as long as the B.C. Liberals are in power, has shifted out of Vancouver. As a result, transportation projects in places like Surrey and Langley and the Fraser Valley stand a far better chance of receiving significant provincial government funding than anything in Vancouver. The Broadway line would also need the financial support of the federal government, but the line runs through the Liberalheld seat of Vancouver Quadra. So unless federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau wins the next election, don’t expect much coming from Ottawa. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Craigslist post leads to robbery attempt Cayley Dobie
BCIT is turning 50. Help us prepare for our future.
staff reporter
A Burnaby man managed to escape the clutches of two suspects after they attempted to rob him Thursday evening. According to Burnaby RCMP, the victim responded to a Craigslist ad listing a laptop for sale. He arranged to meet the seller at Sussex Avenue and Bond Street shortly after 7 p.m. Thursday night, but when he arrived at the location, two men jumped in his car and pointed what he thought was a gun in his face. The victim managed to get out of the vehicle and ran to a nearby home for help. The two suspects fled on foot, according to police. Burnaby RCMP are taking this opportunity to remind residents to be cautious when responding to ads on Craigslist or other online vending sites. “We understand these social media sites are a popular method for people to buy and sell items,” Supt. Steph Drolet, operations officer with the Burnaby detachment, said in a press release. “However, we urge people to be careful, especially when meeting strangers. If at all possible, bring someone with you, don’t let people into your vehicle and meet at a busy location where there are lots of people.” The police are now trying to identify the two suspects. The first is described as a heavyset man with blonde hair, and the second is described as a slim man. Both appeared to be in their 30s and were wearing white T-shirts and carrying backpacks. Anyone with information about this incident or the suspects is asked to contact the Burnaby RCMP at 604294-7922 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
It’s a milestone year, and BCIT is hosting a sold-out fundraising anniversary gala to celebrate. As we pay tribute to our past, we are also preparing for our future.

Injured hawk rescued Jennifer Moreau staff reporter
A Burnaby tree-removal company played a key role in rescuing an injured hawk recently. On Aug. 31, a hiker spotted a red-tailed hawk hanging upside down in a tree in Froggers Creek Ravine Park. The hawk’s leg was stuck on a branch, and the bird was crying out. The hiker called the SPCA, which in turn called ABC Tree Men, a local tree removal company, and the Wildlife Rescue Association of B.C. ABC Tree Men workers arrived, and one climbed the tree, covered the bird in a blanket and dislodged the leg, while a co-worker gave directions from below. The Wildlife Rescue Association took the
hawk to the Burnaby Lake rehabilitation centre, where it’s expected to make a full recovery. The association was thankful ABC Tree Men stepped in. “The hawk is a large bird, and it was a stressful situation,” said spokesperson Yolanda Brooks. “Their arborist had to carry out a tricky manoeuvre to circle the tree and capture it from above, while avoiding further injury or upset to the bird.” For Jozef Klimo, rescuing hawks is all in a day’s work. The owner of ABC Tree Men said his company often receives call to help save wildlife and cats. “I kind of feel like it’s my hobby, too, when you rescue some bird,” Klimo told the NOW. “If we can help we are really happy to (offer) our service.” ABC Tree Men still charges for wildlife removal work but offers a discount.

African tortoise found roaming SFU Cayley Dobie staff reporter
An abandoned tortoise is lucky to be alive after the reptile was found roaming near Simon Fraser University recently. According to the Burnaby SPCA, a Good Samaritan brought the African spurred tortoise, the third largest species of tortoise in the world, to the shelter. The tortoise – whom staff have named Eddie – was found wandering near SFU. In a press release, the SPCA points to existing laws that don’t prohibit the sale of exotic animals and reptiles as the reason why many exotics like Eddie end up abandoned or worse. “These tortoises belong in the desert. They can live up to 150 years and can weigh up to 200 pounds, and pet owners may not realize how hard it can be to provide for their needs,” Sara Dubois, chief scientific officer at the B.C. SPCA, said in the release. “Eddie can outlive several owners. The fact he was found as a stray is even sadder since he could have easily been
killed by a car. Leaving him to fend for himself alone is horrible.” African spurred tortoises are native to northern Africa and typically live on the southern edge of the Sahara desert. They have specific diets and living requirements that most owners would be unaware of or unable to provide, according to the release. As for the fate of the Burnaby Mountain tortoise, the SPCA has consulted with an expert reptile veterinarian and will be recommending a placement with the hope Eddie will eventually be moved to “a sanctuary that caters to his species,” the release added. “There are very few reptile sanctuaries and many are full – yet another reason why people shouldn’t own exotic pets,” Dubois said. “We just want to encourage people to research exotic animals and their needs if they’re considering purchasing an exotic pet. Hopefully that will lead them to think twice before buying a pet they shouldn’t have.” cdobie@burnabynow.com

Julian running again MP will contest the newly redrawn and renamed New Westminster-Burnaby riding
While it’s not surprising, it is now official. Burnaby-New Westminster MP Peter Julian will run again for the NDP – this time focusing on two key issues that have irked civic governments: a new coal facility on the Fraser and the Kinder Morgan pipeline. Julian characterized the two projects as examples of the federal government running roughshod over the concerns of civic governments in New Westminster and Burnaby. “These are the types of actions I think are reprehensible,” Julian told the NOW. The City of Burnaby is in a legal battle with Kinder Morgan over access to Burnaby Mountain, where the oil company is hoping to survey the land for a new pipeline route. The National Energy Board, a federal body,
is sanctioning the pipeline company’s work, despite Burnaby’s opposition. Meanwhile, Port Metro Vancouver (also a federal body) approved the Fraser Surrey Docks coal facility despite opposition from the City of New Westminster. For the 2015 election, Julian will be running in the new riding of New Westminster-Burnaby, which includes twothirds of the riding he currently serves and a new portion of New Westminster. Julian, first elected Peter Julian MP in 2004, is the official Opposition house leader for the federal New Democrats. The Conservatives and the Liberals have yet to announce a candidate for New Westminster-Burnaby. – Jennifer Moreau

For the record
I have a clarification I’d like to share with you about a story I wrote in December of last year about the passing of Dinty Moore, a longtime Burnaby resident. In my article, I wrote that he was the longest living amongst his siblings, when I really meant to
say he was the last living. Apologies for the confusion, as the distinction is important, because I received an email from relatives of Dinty’s, who pointed out that Montague (Monty) Hutchings Moore (Dinty’s brother), actually lived the longest out of the siblings. Monty was born Aug. 10 and lived till Nov. 10, 2007, so he died at 93 years and three months, while Dinty lived for 92 years and six months. Do you have an item for Here & Now?

Brent Vandekerckhove, BComm (Hons) The decision to buy or sell a home represents a monumental milestone in one’s life. Finding the right Realtor® is a pivotal decision and can be a stressful task, but each Realtor® has their unique skill, personality traits, and value that will add to your real estate experience. Taking the time to selecting the right Realtor® who will meet your needs can save you a great deal of aggravation and effort in the process of finding a home or selling your home quickly. Owning a property is likely the most valuable thing you own, so it is in your best interest to find an Realtor® you can trust. Seek out referrals from friends and family and ask about their experience. Learning about the Realtor® and their personality will certainly allow you to make a determination on whether they could be a good fit for you. Always meet with any potential Realtor® in person before committing to one and learn about their experience in the neighbourhood, their skills, strategy, and how they negotiate single or multiple offers.

ASK A VET Q. What is catnip? Is it safe?
A. Catnip is a natural feline attractant
of plant origin, called Nepetalactone. It is a mild hallucinogen for cats, and provides a feeling of enjoyment to Dr. Jangi Bajwa, DVM most cats - usual behaviors seen are Hasting Veterinary rubbing on the plant (or toy containing Hospital catnip), licking at it, rolling and simply, being happy for 10-15 minutes. Even wild cats (tigers, leopards etc) are known to exhibit a similar feeling of enjoyment when exposed to catnip. Catnip is safe for cats. Although cats will refuse it once they have had enough, I recommend exposing your cat to it sparingly – once a week is usually a good idea.

Why should you not drink grapefruit juice when taking some medications? A. Grapefruit juice inhibits certain enzymes in the body that are responsible for metabolizing drugs and ultimately breaking them down for disposal within the body. If an individual started to drink grapefruit juice when taking certain medications, it might lead Hassan Lalani Owner, Target Pharmacy to an increase in the dose of the medication causing harmful unwanted side effects. For instance, Lipitor is one medication that may be increased if taken with grapefruit juice; others include statins and certain blood pressure lowering medications. Grapefruit juice is the main culprit for inhibiting enzymes within the body, but seville oranges also exert a similar effect within the body. Other fruit juices are usually okay to take with medications, but to be extra cautious - water is always safe to take with oral medications. If you ever have any questions about what is safe to take with your medications, please do not hesitate to call or drop by Target Pharmacy.

McDonald’s managers earn company kudos MOVERS & SHAKERS Jacob Zinn
T
wo managers of Burnaby McDonald’s locations have been awarded the company’s Outstanding Manager of the Year achievement.

franchisee Joe Guzzo hailed Camero for her hard work, with this year’s acknowledgement being her second consecutive Outstanding Manager of the Year award. “Frances has always gone above and beyond to provide the highest quality of service our guests have come to recognize from McDonald’s,” said Guzzo in a statement. “She is an excellent team leader and strives to create a fun environment for her staff and guests to ensure success. Frances is an integral part of the team here in Burnaby, and this award is extremely well-deserved.” Each year, McDonald’s recognizes select restaurant managers across the country to receive the Outstanding Manager award based on overall performance.

Life as an introvert in an extroverted world HEALTHWISE
Dr. Davidicus Wong
T
hough the current stress for many parents is arranging daycare and keeping kids productively occupied until our schools reopen, September is a month of anticipation, relief and anxiety. It depends on who you are (student, parent or teacher) and where you fall in the spectrum of introversion and extroversion. An introverted child may find new teachers, group activities and speaking out in class incredibly uncomfortable and daunt-
ing. In fact, some parents choose to homeschool because of this. Our place along the continuum of introversion and extroversion seems to be a hardwired aspect of personality and physiology. Although many are somewhere between the extremes of introversion and extroversion, at least a third of the people you know are introverted. If you’re introverted, you may prefer reading a book at home to going out to a party. You need to reflect before you speak, and you may find social interactions with multiple people emotionally draining. You need time alone to recharge your batteries. Extroverts, on the other hand, thrive on social interaction and in fact are energized by people. They may need to express them-
selves in order to figure out what they’re thinking. In her bestseller, Quiet: the Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking, Susan Cain outlines the neuroscience, psychology and sociology that explains the differences and relative strengths and gifts of introverts and extroverts. She describes how our western society is biased towards an extrovert ideal. We favour charismatic leaders, people who speak out and control meetings, and the gregarious and outgoing. Our classrooms and workplaces often favour extroverts who feel more comfortable working in groups and shouting out the answers to the teacher’s questions. Beautifully written and researched, Cain’s book is
a must read for teachers, employers, parents and partners of introverts. It will change the way you see and value introverts, and if you’re an introvert, it will change how you see yourself. In workplaces with an open office design without privacy, more introverted employees will be more uncomfortable and less productive. If an organization relies on group brainstorming meetings, they may not hear the creative insights of the more introverted who do some of their best work alone. In the classroom, group activities do not bring the best out of more introvert-
ed students. The brightest are not always the first to press the buzzer. Susan Cain’s book offers practical advice for introverts on self-acceptance and appreciation, understanding extroverts with whom they live and work, when to act more extroverted, and the importance of finding restorative niches to recharge themselves. The marriage of an introvert and extrovert can be both challenging and rewarding. Extroverts may say things they don’t mean and thrive on conflict; introverts can be more sensitive to their words. Each partner needs to understand how the
other needs solitude or social engagement. Cain offers insights to improve mutual understanding and honouring one another’s natures. Our society is enriched by a variety of cultures, temperaments and personalities. Introverts have great ideas, feelings and insights to share, and with better understanding, we can nurture their strengths at school, at work and at home. Dr. Davidicus Wong is a family physician. His Healthwise column appears regularly in this paper. You can read more about achieving your positive potential in health at davidicuswong. wordpress.com.

2015 Subaru Outback: explorer-style road-trips Brendan McAleer contributing writer
T
his vehicle is not so much a desert explorer as it is a denizen of the rainforest. They should have called it the Subaru Damp. For more than two decades, the Outback has been a sort of anti-SUV, providing all the capacity of a large wagon with a little extra ground clearance, with the side bonus of some sweet two-tone paintwork. OK, so maybe that last part was more questionable than attractive. Even with Forester sales doing very well, the Outback is an important car for Subaru, and now there’s a new one. Time to see if it’s fair dinkum, or a bit of a dingo.
Design
In the mid-2000s, the Legacy was probably the best-looking Subaru that the company produced (admittedly, they aren’t known for building beauties). The car that followed was somewhat chunky, but some of the svelte shape has come back: the Outback’s a pretty handsomelooking rig up front. The plastic trimmings around the base of the car are all you get to indicate a rugged nature – no more two-tone paint – and the raised suspension still doesn’t
make this car as tall as most crossovers. There are integrated, swing-out crossbars for carrying kayaks and the like, and they’re actually reachable.
Environment
On the inside, things get even less Subaru-y, and that’s a good thing. In the company’s model hierarchy, the Outback actually sits slightly above the Forester, something you can immediately tell as soon as you step into the interior. The cabin trimmings are very nicely finished, with brushed metal or a mattefinish wood that’s very classy, and fit and finish appear very good. It’s uncomplicated but upscale, and there is a bit of that two-tone nature available: tan seats come with black carpets so you don’t mark them up with muddy boots. The front seats are quite comfortable, and the rears have plenty of space. Subaru calls their sunroof panoramic, but it’s smaller than you’d find in older Outbacks, although that does mean more headroom for rear passengers. In the very back of the Outback, there’s a whacking great trunk, one that comes with all sorts of optional accessories, including a divider so you can keep your pooch from clambering over the seats. The space is approximately 75 centimetres tall and just over a metre wide

2015 Subaru Outback: It’s “ridiculously capable” on gravel and sand. between the wheel-wells.
Performance
Two engines are on offer for the Outback, either the ubiquitous 2.5L flatfour, or the smooth 3.6L flat-six. The latter makes 256hp at 6000rpm, and now comes bolted to a continuously variable transmission for a little more fuel economy and even smoother operation.
The 175hp 2.5i also gets bolted to a CVT except where Canadians are concerned – we have at least the option of choosing a six-speed manual. However, most Outbacks will leave the showroom with the 2.5 and the CVT, so that’s how I drove it. It’s hard, at first, to believe that the Outback shares any DNA with the WRX Subaru Page 20

it’s likely parked beside in the showroom. This is a big, relatively heavy car (2,000kg), so 175 hp is just adequate in terms of acceleration. If there’s a short passing space on a winding country road, it might not have quite enough gumption to take advantage of a small gap. What’s more, that raised suspension does contribute to more than a bit of body roll, meaning that hustling the Outback along a curving road is a bit of a chore. Grip is plentiful and everything feels nice and safe, but this is not the Outback’s natural habitat. Don’t be put off, this is a very amiable car to drive. It simply favours a different driving style, the kind that has you pull over every second time you see a historicontinued from page 19

cal marker. It’s made for the explorer-style roadtrip, rather than hammering down the highway to make time. Speaking of the highway, here it is very comfortable indeed, soaking up bumps with that soft suspension. There is a little more wind noise above 80 km/h than expected, but it’s a much quieter car than almost any other Subaru has been. The CVT keeps engine revs low, and you just cruise on to your destination, getting decent fuel economy. When you get there, should the last few miles be gravel or sand, the Outback is as ridiculously capable as you’d expect from a Subaru. I drove it out through drifts of soft sand on the coast of Oregon, and it wasn’t fazed in the slightest.

The Outback is available with Subaru’s new Starlink infotainment system, which is just as intuitive as any other on the market, and maybe even easier to use. It works with pinch-and-swipe gestures just like a smartphone, and is easy to navigate through the various menus. You also get a small display in the instrument cluster which repeats navigation directions. Also handy for exploration is the availability of quad heated seats and plenty of USB and 12v power outlets for all sorts of mobile devices.

Subaru: Outback a proper adventure ride, but you won’t be roughing it in-city and 7.1L/100 km highway, and real-world testing saw figures in the mid6L/100 km. With a 70L fuel tank, that’s plenty of range for your adventures.
Green Light
Roomy, comfortable interior; easy-touse navigation system; excellent off-road ability.
Stop Sign
Moderate acceleration; no push-button start except on top-trim models; power tailgate is a bit slow.

Still a proper adventure vessel from Subaru, but you’re no longer roughing it.

Knights open season with shutout win Tom Berridge
sports editor
Big plays and a sound defence gave the St. Thomas More Knights a win in their high school football season opener. The Knights scored two big-gainers in the first half and 20 more points in the second to blank Vancouver independent rival Notre Dame Jugglers 34-0 in the season opener for both schools at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex-West on Friday. Shane Noel rattled off a 20-yard touchdown run to open the contest in the first quarter and Matt Duda went up the middle for a 59-yd. score midway through the second quarter to give the Knights a 14-0 lead at halftime. Grade11quarterback Terrell Jana had a big game in his season start for the No. 2-ranked Knights, rushing for 96 yards while passing for 127 yds. and two J.J. DesLauriers scores in the fourth quarter. Noel rushed for 101 yds. for the Knights. STM corner Jordan Stewart picked off a Theo Landers pass and scored on the return from 40 yards out in the third quarter to silence the Jugglers, who started the second half with an impressive drive inside the Knights’ 10. But that long drive, helped out by a pass interference penalty, stalled in
the red zone following a great goal line stand by the Knights’ defensive line. In the fourth quarter, DesLauriers caught a 26yd. pass from Jana in the end zone after the ball went in and out of the hands of a Jugglers defender. DesLauriers also hauled in a 13-yd. TD toss following a fumble recovery off the ensuing kickoff. Despite the big scoring plays, most of the highlights came on the defensive side of the line. Defensive ends Ben Steele and Kieran Janes both stood out on D for the Knights. Steele led the team with 10 tackles, including five for a loss and four to view quarterback sacks, a video, while Janes was scan also active helping with out on seven stops. Layar Linebackers Spencer Moore and Landon Jackson shared in 16 other tackles for the Knights, who allowed Notre Dame just one entry into the red zone all game. “We’re fortunate we have some big play athletes who can help us out a bit,” said Knights head coach Bernie Kully of the otherwise less than efficient start to the season. “I definitely see potential. We have some athletes, we have some size and we have some toughness, and I like that,” said Kully. “I told (the team) enjoy it for tonight and we wake up tomorrow with Vancouver College.”

SFU sweeps volleyball season starts Tom Berridge
sports editor
Simon Fraser University women’s volleyball team swept an opening season four-game series against non-conference opposition at home this weekend. The varsity Clan blanked three of the four opposition teams, while giving up just a single set to Canada West conference Thompson Rivers University last Friday. SFU opened with a 25-17, 25-14, 25-17 victory over Columbia Bible College on Sept. 4. Devon May led the Clan with a dozen kills and 11 digs. “It was a fun game, we felt real-
ly prepared and it was exciting to get going,” said May in a prepared press release. Against TRU, SFU dropped the second set 25-19 before rallying 2513, 25-15 to post the win. Kelsey Robinson led the Clan with 13 kills, while Amanda Renkema chipped in with 12 winners. May also had double-digit kills and 17 digs, as did Alison McKay. On Saturday, SFU defeated Vancouver Island University in straight sets behind Renkema’s 10kill effort. McKay kept the ball alive for the home team with a game-high 19 digs. The Clan closed out weekend with a 3-0 win over Capilano University
later in the day. Robinson topped the Clan with 12 kills. McKay had 10 digs and Brooklyn Gould-Bradbury posted 23 assists. “I think it was a great way to prepare for the next tourney,” said SFU head coach Gina Schmidt in the release. “It’s tough to play four matches in three days and we stayed focused. I was happy with our ball control and defence, which helped us run the things well offensively.” Next week, the Clan will travel to California to play in another non-conference tournament against Fresno Pacific, Chaminade, Dominican and the Academy of Art.
Clan men open soccer season with win; women fall to Hilo Tom Berridge
sports editor
Simon Fraser University opened its varsity men’s soccer season with a shutout victory over Sonoma State. The varsity Clan scored three times in an 11-minute span midway through the first half to defeat the visiting Seawolves 3-0 in a non-conference match at Terry Fox Field on Sept. 4. Alexander Kleefeldt opened the scoring in the 16th minute off a corner kick and two minutes later made it 2-0 on an unas-
sisted solo effort. Niko Schroettle tallied his first goal for the Clan, tipping in a Jovan Blagojevic free kick in the 27th minute. “The first game is normally one of the tougher games you play because you don’t know what you’re going to get from your own group and it’s tough to get a good scout on the team you’re playing against,” said SFU head coach Alan Koch in a school press release. “We scheduled a game against a tough team and they made it difficult for us. We’re obviously very happy to get a positive result.”
Sophomore keeper Brandon Watson earned his shutout, stopping a late firsthalf penalty kick. “It’s good to get the win and I thought we played well,” said Watson in the release. “Last year, we struggled a bit at the start to get a clean sheet, but I think we are a little more sound defensively this year with a strong returning group from last season and obviously it showed on the field. The SFU women’s soccer team dropped its non-conference season opener 1-0 to visiting Hawaii Hilo Vulcans at Terry Fox
Field on Sunday. Jessica Marano of Burnaby had two shots at goal, including a header that went just wide of the post in the opening two minutes of play. Hawaii Hilo struck for the game’s only goal six minutes into the second half, beating freshman keeper Rriya Sandhu on a second-chance rebound. Sandhu stopped four shots in the Clan goal. The women played Hawaii Hilo again on Tuesday. The men’s Clan also played the visiting Vulcans. Both games were played (after NOW deadlines).

Douglas soccer teams start season with unbeaten records Tom Berridge sports editor
The Douglas College Royals are off to strong starts in PacWest soccer. The women kicked off this season in encouraging fashion, winning their first three matches, including back-to-back wins over Kwantlen and Quest universities this weekend. Earlier in the week, Douglas opened with a 2-1 win over Langara College, before shutting out Kwantlen 2-0 on Saturday and winning 2-1 over Quest on Sunday. Danae Harding leads the women’s team with three goals in three games, while Marni McMillan and Nicolle Fraser contributed two and one goal, respectively. “The results have been good in terms of building confidence and building a belief the team can win week in and week out, but the performances have been less than stellar,” said first-
year Royals coach Chris Laxton, who took over the job in April. But with eight new players on board, five of whom started on opening day, the short-term future looks bright for the Royals. “There has been no lack of effort, … and spells of really excellent soccer,” added Laxton. “But it’s early, and if we’re playing our best (now), we’re in trouble.” Laxton is committed to playing a possession game with the object of playing attacking football. But at the end of the day, it’s all about playing intelligent soccer and taking advantage of the situation on the pitch, Laxton added. “I want smart players,” he said.
Men unbeaten
The Douglas Royals men’s team also started the college season with an unbeaten record. The Royals drew 2-2 with Langara mid-week before
blanking both Kwantlen and Quest in weekend fixtures. Marc Minceili posted the back-to-back shutouts for Douglas. Simrin Rattanpal scored the game-winning 1-0 goal for the Royals over Quest on Sunday. Burnaby Central grad Spencer Deboice tallied a pair of goals and Koneh Kalifala from Byrne Creek added a single marker in Saturday’s 3-0 victory over Kwantlen. Nicholas Pineda Graham scored both goals in the tie with Langara. “From preseason to now, every game we’ve gotten a little better,” said Douglas co-coach Robby Toor. The Royals play Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo on Saturday, before returning home to host Capilano University at Town Centre Stadium on Sunday. The women kick off the Sunday matches at 1 p.m. The men’s team follows.
Steelers open Jr. B season on Thursday Tom Berridge sports editor
It’s going to be another competitive conference season, predicts the Grandview Steelers junior B hockey coach. “I think it’s going to be a competitive league, for sure,” said Grandview head coach and general manager Aldo Bruno, whose Burnaby Winter Club-based Steelers play in the tight Tom Shaw conference. “It’s going to be hard to make a playoff spot. It’s going to be tough.” The Steelers ended the exhibition season with a 9-5 win in Abbotsford last Thursday and a 5-3 loss to the Pilots at home on Sunday. Like the start to every regular season, waiting for players to return from major junior and junior A trial camps makes a general manager’s job challenging, Bruno said. “Our defence is going to be our strength. We’re really big in the back end, but we’re
a faster team, for sure,” he said. Bruno is counting on winter club products Austin Campeau, Cameron Ginnetti and Alexander Rasovic, currently trying out with the Coquitlam Express of the B.C. Hockey League, to step in on defence, while rookies Braedan Gurney, Nico Bruno and Ian Prevost of Burnaby will be expected to add pace up front. The Steelers also signed D-man Jordan Henderson, who is presently trying out with the Spokane Chiefs of the Western Hockey League. Cole MacInnes returns in goal this season for the Steelers. “You want to be healthy and get a good start,” Bruno said, adding finding consistency with more than a dozen new faces is always a challenge. The Steelers open this Thursday in Richmond. Faceoff is at 7 p.m. Grandview hosts the Port Moody Panthers in its home opener at the Burnaby Winter Club on Sunday, Sept. 14 at 4 p.m.
