New-look NewsLeader

Hospice Society marks 25 years

Today, the NewsLeader launches its Àrst redesign since 2008.

Why the change?

Redesigning this paper isn’t about throwing out the old and putting out something completely new.

We will continue to provide cover stories each week that explore something in-depth. You’ll get commentary, and also get to meet interesting fellow residents through our Coffee With feature, where we sit down and catch up with one of your neighbours, and our weekly recipe feature, Local Flavour. And you’ll Ànd all the arts, sports, and events coverage that you’ve come to expect from the NewsLeader.

The NewsLeader does a lot online these days, and in this paper you’ll see some signposts to share what’s going on there, too, from Twitter and Facebook, to extra features like videos and slideshows exclusively on our website.

We hope you like the new look.

Enjoy!

G&F Financial chosen for six-month pilot to provide machines for city facilities Wanda Chow wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

Three Burnaby city facilities will be getting ATMs this month as part of a six-month pilot project.

City hall, the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts and Bonsor Recreation Centre will be getting one ATM each as an initiative aimed at improving customer service.

G&F Financial has been chosen as the vendor, according to a city staff report.

The credit union was the only ¿nancial institution among the ¿ve responses city hall received to a request for proposals to include a request for revenue sharing opportunities.

While G&F’s proposal offered the lowest level of revenue sharing, it also offered the lowest fees for users.

The credit union will not charge user transaction fees for Exchange network cardholders, which comprises members of most B.C. credit unions and all HSBC clients in Canada.

Clients of Canadian “big ¿ve” banks will pay a $1.50 convenience fee and, depending on their banking package, potentially an additional Interac fee. City hall will receive 10 cents for each of these types of transactions.

“The convenience fee is less expensive than the fee charged by white label ATM providers who would charge a fee to all users,” the report said.

The other private ATM providers were proposing to charge a fee ranging between $1.75 and $2, plus additional bank or Interac fees.

For the Direct Cash ATM, that meant a total fee of $3.50 to $4 per transaction.

“Although the city would receive $0.85 per transaction, the fee structure was determined to be excessive and could signi¿cantly detract from the city’s primary objective of providing additional convenience for residents and visitors at no additional cost to the city,” the staff report said.

G&F Financial is unable to offer mobile ATMs for special event locations, but staff determined the need for such units would not be high once the machines are installed at the three pilot sites.

If necessary, the city could still contract separately with a private vendor for such a service.

The six-month pilot will start this month.

At the end of the pilot, staff will report back to council on usage of the ATMs and the potential of a long-term contract.

If the program proves viable, additional sites could be considered, such as Riverway Golf Course.

Labour Council endorses Burnaby candidates The New Westminster and District Labour Council has endorsed all of the Burnaby Citizens Association candidates in the Nov. 19 civic elections.

The council is backing Mayor Derek Corrigan in his bid for reelection along with incumbent councillors Pietro Calendino, Richard Chang, Sav Dhaliwal, Dan Johnston, Colleen Jordan, Anne Kang, Paul McDonell and Nick Volkow.

It is also supporting board of education chair Larry Hayes and incumbents Ron Burton, Baljinder Narang, James Wang and Gary Wong as well as Àrsttime candidates Meiling Chia and Harman Pandher.

OPINION NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

PUBLISHED & PRINTED BY BLACK PRESS LTD. at 7438 Fraser Park Drive, Burnaby, B.C. V5J 5B9

ADRIAN RAESIDE:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Monitoring the buzz Insomnia, anxiety, allergic reactions, palpitations and withdrawal – a list of symptoms from an illegal drug?

No, it’s what adults have known for years are the downsides of drinking too much coffee and tea.

Unfortunately, now the kids are emulating their parents by drinking energy drinks that typically have twice the caffeine of pop and just about as much as a cup of drip coffee.

The kids think these drinks are cool, their logos are eye-catching and they are easy to get at corner stores and grocery outlets.

A single can of Red Bull or Monster falls within Health Canada guidelines for caffeine consumption for older teens, but what happens if two or more are consumed in a day?

Should the government have taken a tougher stance and prevented these drinks from being sold anywhere but pharmacies?

The more adults try to regulate teen behaviour, the more challenges they face.

And the fact that caffeine is mildly addictive is not lost on companies marketing their products to kids in new and innovative ways.

The popularity of these beverages among teens looking for a light buzz is reminiscent of the older generations’ interest in cigarettes.

For teens, water is boring, pop is old-school and so is juice, although neither are great as they are full of sugar.

But are we comfortable with kids picking up an energy drink at lunch or on the way home from school?

At the very least, parents should be educating themselves as to what their children are ingesting.

Health Canada’s suggested limits for daily caffeine intake are roughly 2.5 mg per kilogram of body weight.

Parents can at least use the new content disclosure rules to ¿nd out whether their kids’ drinks measure up.

The delicate art of parking What kind of parker are you?

Arriving at a busy shopping mall, do you drive around endlessly in search of a space?

Do you meander, as though on a Sunday drive through the country, until luck strikes?

Or are you a different breed entirely, one who idles the car outside the mall doors? It’s not stalking, really, is it? Let’s call it “following with intent.”

Sure, this approach might get you labelled a creep, but that’s not the only peril.

After all, you might follow your target all the way across the lot only to watch as they dodge through some bushes to the sidewalk, and wait for a bus. Back to square one.

The obvious solution is to ¿rst ask, “Hey, you leaving in a car?” before initiating the pursuit. If they nod, there will be that added charm of the fact you’re not only following them at 4 km/h in your vehicle, but they know you are.

You’ve made a friend.

Then there is the hybrid

approach. You wander the lot until you spot someone with bags, or a shopping cart, and you make the contact there. It seems like serendipity, doesn’t it? Like a surprisingly pleasant chat with an attractive server at a restaurant.

You’re both there for a purpose.

You’re not a vulture.

I must say, though, it’s good to pick your spots.

If a woman is coming out of Superstore with two toddlers and a baby, and an obscene amount of groceries, “Hey, you leavin’?” might not get you a smile.

When it comes to parking, I prefer the outdoor variety. Even if you’re not claustrophobic, there’s something about the cavernous, multi-tiered parkades at Metrotown

and Paci¿c Centre that suggest a trip to the centre of the earth. I get short of breath. Even in a small car, the ceilings seem low, the spots squeakingly narrow.

The real challenge is to ¿nd your car when you come back.

There was a time when I just said to myself “You left it by the concrete pillar” but soon learned this wasn’t good enough.

Today, I get out of the car and walk backwards toward the elevator. It’s like previewing how things will look when I return.

A friend takes this one step further and snaps a photo with her camera phone.

For the tech lovers, there are also devices like the “Auto Finder,” which I found online from the appropriately named Finder Technologies. The website states it can “¿nd your car from one-half mile away... using our patented radio direction-¿nding technology.”

befuddled, anxious, catatonic, suicidal, pondering just abandoning your car forever—wherever the heck it is—you simply pull out your little fob, and press a button.

Then you spin around in circles until, like a geiger counter, it suddenly goes BEEP-BEEP-BEEP and the arrows light up.

An improvement on this, in my humble opinion, would be one that says “warmer... warmer... oh, you’re getting hot, hotter.”

Finder Technology also sells a the Child Finder, and Pet Finder too, though I’m not sure where you’re supposed to af¿x the beacon to your kid. Regardless, it’s a great idea. You could just let them loose in the morning, then pull out the fancy gadget and track them down at the end of the day. No more daycare, no more using the kennel.

COMMENT

Friday, October 21, 2011 NewsLeader A7

EMAIL letters@burnabynewsleader.com

A salute to those who are standing up An open letter to participants of Occupy Vancouver: First let me thank you from the bottom of my heart.

For every one of you who participated, know that there are thousands like me—the middle-class—who are also fed up with watching our precious social safety net decay; fed up with banks and corporations getting government bailouts one year only to report record pro¿ts the next. This while there are fewer opportunities to make a living wage.

Pundits and those in political power say the Occupy movement has no clear focus.

Well neither did the early Internet, but the desire was clear to do something good—and to keep it out of the hands of government and the private sector. That turned out all right, didn’t it?

Your actions last weekend, and those of others at Occupy events in countless communities around the world, may well mark the turning point for society; the day we started to right the wrongs created by a greedy minority. The day we started to reject governments that represented the many but rewarded only the few.

You have the attention of the senior governments that led us to where we are today, take advantage of it.

You are rousting thousands of us from our complacency and making us, all of us, believe again that we can make things better.

Like Sir John A. MacDonald said, “We are a great country, and shall become one of the greatest in the universe if we preserve it; we shall sink into insigni¿cance and adversity if we suffer it to be broken.”

Peter Cech, Burnaby

RESIDENTS SUPPORT CITY CENTRES I read Grant Granger’s column “A surreal spin around Metrotown” (NewsLeader, Oct. 7) with great interest. Many of his observations hit the mark and reÀect more than three decades of collective wisdom around the issue of urban growth.

Conceived in the late seventies and early eighties, Burnaby’s major town centres—Metrotown, Brentwood, Lougheed and Edmonds—were designed to be hubs of residential and commercial activity, as well as transportation hubs.

The town centre concept has been supported historically across the political spectrum in Burnaby. As a council member and past housing committee chair, I always believed it was important that there was a community “buy-in” to the town centre concept and densi¿cation. High density

development outside the town centre has been restricted and successive councils have taken care to ensure that multi-family and commercial development in other areas has followed careful consultation.

There has never been much appetite for densi¿cation of single and two-family neighbourhoods and it is indeed surprising and a bit troubling that some aspiring politicians are advocating for it now.

MAYOR’S HOMELESS CASE DOESN’T STAND UP Question: What do you get when 42 congregations, assorted businesses, the Burnaby Board of Trade (BBOT), BC Housing Corp, Progressive Housing, the Burnaby Municipal Greens, and now Team Burnaby, all line up to support a local emergency shelter and related services?

Answer: One isolated BCA mayoral candidate and frightened council slate.

When will Derek Corrigan free his partisans to follow their hearts?

He still parrots lines from the NIMBY book: Homelessness is not my jurisdiction; Burnaby lacks the money; which neighbourhood gets the facility?

Let’s take the mayor’s arguments against

a civic investment in a homeless shelter one at a time.

Which neighbourhood? The homeless are already here. They live in Burnaby neighbourhoods. A managed shelter and transition housing will take them off neighbourhood streets.

Not the city’s jurisdiction: The B.C. Court of Appeal recently held, in a suit brought under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, that the City of Victoria could not enforce its “no-camping” bylaw until and unless suf¿cient shelter beds exist as an alternative. Burnaby, like Victoria, has no permanent shelter beds. Does Mayor Corrigan propose to test the Victoria “precedent” to determine that homelessness remains beyond civic jurisdiction?

Burnaby lacks funds: $800 million is apparently not enough. But let’s take Derek at his word. His successor can ¿nance a contribution without any net spending.

How? Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson commissioned a Vancouver Police study which determined more than 30 per cent of calls involved marginally-housed (a.k.a. homeless) people. The of¿cers were spending thousands of civic dollars every day arresting, booking, and releasing the homeless.

This has evolved into six critically acclaimed annual U.S tours, a CD on Favored Nations Records released in 2004, and a book of IGN compositions.

This year, International Guitar Night invites a new cast of guitar luminaries from their ever-revolving cast of Âżnger-style guitarists to perform in this tour.

Each of the musicians all bring

a different musical style to the table as well as each being from a different part of the world, each enjoying this opportunity showcase their talents. For this year’s North American tour, guitar poet Brian welcomes Lulo Reinhardt, a descendant of Django from Germany who mixes his family’s trademark Gyspy Jazz with new forays into Latin music; UK ¿ngerstyle guitar pioneer Adrian Legg, and renowned Brazilian guitarist Marco Pereira.

In addition to their performance, International Guitar Night will also be hosting a guitar workshop for the students of New Westminster Secondary School’s guitar class.

Students will have the opportunity to play and learn from some of the world’s greatest ¿ngerstyle guitarists.

BCIT business students unplug for Africa Wanda Chow wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

For the ¿rst time in ages, April Yau had coffee with her sister.

Face to face.

After all, Yau couldn’t text her like she normally does. She’s one of a number of business students at B.C. Institute of Technology who have unplugged from social media, such as Facebook and Twitter, and text messaging this week.

Dubbed “Unplug for Africa,” the experiment aims to make students aware of how excessive use of smart phones and technology can affect productivity while also raising money for Red Cross relief efforts in Africa.

It’s all about trying to ¿nd a balance, said Geoffrey Bird, a marketing instructor in BCIT’s School of Business, who came up with the idea.

The project was prompted by conversations Bird had with several industry professionals who told him when they hire young adults “they’re seeing their employees spend a heck of a lot of time on Facebook and using social media when they should be working.”

FUTURE SHOP – Correction Notice NEWSPAPER RETRACTION FOR THE FUTURE SHOP OCTOBER 14 CORPORATE FLYER Please note that the incorrect price was advertised for Norton 360 5.0 (10163036) on page 23 of the October 14 flyer. The correct price is $59.99, not $39.99 save $40, as previously advertised. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our valued customers

He also found inspiration for the unplugging challenge from Digital Diet by Daniel Sieberg and an episode of Modern Family in which the family challenged itself to unplug from social media.

Bird has seen the problem ¿rsthand. He frequently sees students texting when they should be engaged in a lecture, or checking out Facebook when they should be working on an assignment in the computer lab.

He’s since discovered studies that found young adults send, on average, 109 text messages per day. And 30 per cent of North American young adults believe Internet access is just as important as food, shelter and water.

During the recent outage when the BBM network, a type of text-messaging between Blackberry users, was

Turn off social media for Àve days to raise money

down for days, “it was a major tragedy in their lives,” Bird said of his students.

Meanwhile, “look what’s happening on the other side of the world.”

That’s where the fundraising for African relief efforts comes in.

Participants in the challenge are still allowed to use email and the Internet for research, and Skype to connect with family abroad, but all other social media is off limits.

After the ¿rst day, Bird was already getting some positive feedback.

“One student said she cleaned her room.

She had extra time and made use of it.”

April Yau, 25, who estimates her social media usage before the experiment at ¿ve to six hours a day, is happy to report she’s been studying more for her exams and she’s had more face-to-face conversations with people.

Yau sees it as a personal challenge, to gain more control over that aspect of her life.

So far she’s been surprised that she’s not as stressed out as expected.

Then again, “I feel out of touch with the world,” she said, noting she gets most of her news from Twitter feeds.

And she’s doing her best not to look at her phone which is trying to tell her she has text messages waiting to be read.

“The blinking light on my phone is de¿nitely a stress.”

As of Tuesday, Yau had already raised about $500 in pledges, mainly from friends and family who don’t think she’ll make it to the end of the week.

“They know how attached I am to [my phone],” she said with a laugh.

“It’s almost like a bet.”

COMMUNITY CHAMPION

(District 2 - Burnaby Mountain)

Someone who continuously thinks of ways to improve the services offered from the local Community Police OfďŹ ce (CPO) is Al Sims.

As a volunteer himself, Al has taken a leadership role with the volunteers and is highly involved in all of the programs that the CPO offers.

At the annual Hats Off Day, you can ďŹ nd Al demonstrating a rollover simulator that always fascinates his audience. He believes in the importance of wearing a seatbelt and donates his time to make others aware of this safety feature. He says, “It really makes our kids sit up and watchâ€?. “I enjoy living in Burnaby, I think it’s one of the best places in the Lower Mainland and if you have a chance to give back to the community, you do itâ€?.

Sims used to be in the Armed Forces Reserves, but was also involved in several different businesses before retiring.

To learn more about how you can be involved in community safety initiatives, please call your local Community Police OfďŹ ce.

Q: What can drivers do to make to help make Hallowe’en safer?

A: Make sure your property is well-lit to welcome trick-or-treaters and deter vandals.

Remove objects from your yard that might present a safety hazard. Instead of using a candle to light up your jack-o-lantern, try using a light which is much safer.

Have you got your Emergency Kit together?

You likely already have emergency supplies at home, but they may not be in one place. By putting your emergency supplies in a portable container, like a wheeled backpack, you can take them with you if you have to evacuate your home. By already having emergency supplies ready, you save precious time. Don’t forget your pets – they should each have their own emergency supplies kit too. To learn more about what should be in an emergency kit, visit www.burnaby.ca/getprepared or www.shakeoutbc.ca. — Charmaigne Pugrath, City of Burnaby Emergency Program Co-ordinator

Since opening at the UniverCity neighbourhood on Burnaby Mountain a year and a half ago, Nester’s Market and Pharmacy SFU has made a point of getting involved in the local community by joining the UniverCity BlockWatch and the Burnaby Mountain Business Association. “It’s a way to reach out to the community. It’s all about communication, access is key,� said store manager Eric Olson.

Communicating with staff and customers led to recent improvements to the store itself. Store management received comments that it was too dark outside at night, especially as the store stays open until 9 p.m.

Nester’s responded by installing lighting outside. With security cameras already in place, it’s just another initiative that can maintain the store’s track record of deterring incidents of crime. “We want to keep it that way,�

Olson said.

Another 125 volunteers, including Juett, work in the society’s thrift store at 6855 Kingsway, which also houses the hospice’s of¿ce. The store was started six years ago to address a loss in gaming and government grants.

All its services, including bereavement counselling, are free.

It runs on an annual budget of $245,000, of which about 41 per cent comes from the thrift store. It’s a relatively shoestring budget for an organization that serves more than 800 people each year.

For most, it’s the little things that make the biggest difference, like listening. Stableford said patients will often open up to volunteers more so than they will to family because they know their conversations are con¿dential.

“They know their stories are safe with us and we won’t interfere with the family.”

Juett noted that volunteers will also conduct a tea service, served on china cups with homemade cookies on a tea trolley.

“There’s something homely about sitting talking over a cup of tea. I’ve seen people all stiff and the tea, it’s just like somebody turned a switch and everybody starts talking normally.”

As far as the society has come, it still has a larger, longterm goal in mind—its own freestanding hospice.

“That’s our dream,” said Juett.

UNITED DEFENCE Burnaby Lake forward Brett Whitehead tries to squeeze between a sandwich of United Brothers’ defenders in their Vancouver Men’s Field Hockey League competitive division match, Saturday at the Burnaby Lake Sports Complex West.

Clan offence stalls in 34-10 loss to Wolves After a 34-10 loss to the Western Oregon Wolves on Saturday, the SFU Clan football team could be excused for wondering what might have been.

Coming off their dramatic triple overtime win over Dixie State College the week before, their ¿rst win in conference play, the Clan held a 7-6 lead over the Wolves at halftime. Western Oregon quarterback Evan Mazzochi found receiver Trevor Gates with a 47-yard completion early in the second half to put the Wolves in front 13-6. The Clan stormed back as quarterback Trey Wheeler engineered a 14-play drive deep into Western Oregon territory. But they couldn’t get the ball into the end zone, settling for a 22-yard ¿eld goal.

That seemed to take the steam out of the Clan’s offence. They stalled on their next drive early in the fourth quarter. The Wolves capitalized with another touchdown, widening their lead to 20-10.

Then Clan running back Bo Palmer

fumbled the ball away, setting up another Western Oregon touchdown, a 10-yard run by back Kenneth Hayes.

The Wolves put the game out of reach when defensive back Bryve Peila intercepted a Wheeler pass and ran the ball back 42 yards into the SFU end zone.

Despite the interception, Wheeler had a good day, completing 26 of 38 passes for 286 yards and a touchdown. Receiver Tore Corrado had a career high ¿ve receptions for 123 yards and a touchdown to lead all SFU receivers.

The Clan travel to Ashland, Ore. to play the Southern Oregon Raiders on Saturday.

Cross country success The SFU Clan women’s and men’s cross country teams will be running into Saturday’s Great Northwest Athletic Conference championships in Yakima, Wash., with momentum at their backs.

Jessica Smith ¿nished ¿rst in team

standings and second in individual rankings, and Lindsay Butterworth ¿nished fourth to lead the women’s team to the overall title at last weekend’s Adidas-Concordia Cross Country Classic in Portland, Ore. Two other SFU runners placed in the top 20.

Smith’s result also earned her GNAC athlete of the week honours for the second time this year.

The men ¿nished third overall with three runners in the top 20. Keir Foster placed third in his event. B.J. Cunliffe ¿nished seventh and Anton Humeniuk placed 11th.

Foster’s ¿nish was also recognized by GNAC as he was named the male athlete of the week.

“Today’s course was challenging,” said SFU head coach Brit Townsend. “It was soft, with a lot of hills and a lot of turns. I’m really happy with the way our team performed today.”

Soccer men on top The SFU Clan men’s soccer team is number one.

The unbeaten squad leaped over Fort Lewis College to the top spot in the NCAA Division II national rankings on Tuesday.

“It is a historic milestone to be ranked number one in the NCAA,” said the team’s head coach Alan Koch in a press release. “It is an achievement that the players should be incredibly proud of. It puts a huge target on our back now and the players need to be ready for some tough challenges ahead.”

Their ¿rst challenge came on Thursday, when they hosted Northwest Nazarene University. The Clan needed extra time to defeat the Crusaders 1-0 in their previous meeting Sept. 24 in Nampa, Idaho.

“To hang onto this ranking, I anticipate we will need to win every match on our schedule,” said Koch. “Nothing changes though, and as usual we take it one match at a time.”

The Clan will entertain Montana State University Billings at Terry Fox Field on Saturday at noon. sports@burnabynewsleader.com
