Protect neighbourhoods from rapid change: Murchie Pace of change proceeding all according to plan: Jordan Wanda Chow wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

Neighbourhoods around Burnaby’s SkyTrain stations are undergoing signi¿cant change as they are being redeveloped to accommodate higher densities. The planning department says it’s all according to its Of¿cial Community Plan, the basis of which was created in the 1960s. Other than occasional updates, Burnaby city hall has been working towards ful¿lling that vision. The NewsLeader asked three council candidates: What do you think about the pace of development in Burnaby? Incumbent Coun. Colleen Jordan, Burnaby Citizens’ Association, is chair of the city’s community development committee and retired former secretarytreasurer for CUPE-BC. “The key question is JORDAN whether Burnaby can continue to grow as a diverse, modern city, while ensuring we maintain the values that make us a leader in Canada. The answer is a resounding yes! Following our Of¿cial Community Plan (OCP), and in consultation with residents, we have increased density in our town centres, while preserving green space and single family neighbourhoods. In the 1980s I lived in Middlegate. Over

30 years the new Highgate area has evolved, complete with new city facilities like a ¿rehall, library, and recreation centre. Private development replaced the mall, and new housing continues to expand. This is exactly what the OCP envisioned. As one resident commented respecting the new plan to rebuild the [Station Square] Save-On-Foods site with a pedestrianfriendly urban village, ‘It’s about time.’ Too fast, or too slow, I would say it’s just about the right pace.” Carrie McLaren, Burnaby Municipal Greens, currently works in the accounting of¿ce of a Burnaby ¿rm while studying business at Capilano College. “From just personal observation, the pace of MCLAREN development looks healthier than in the past few years. Two townhouse developments ¿nally ¿nishing up in my neighbourhood. They had been delayed for a few years leaving empty lots and holes in the ground due to the economic recession. According to the city’s website numbers, 2011 so far has seen double the new construction starts of 2010. The overwhelming majority is single-family and multi-family developments. One item I’ve noticed, the city seems to depend on developers to create neighbourhood sidewalks—leaving them a patchwork of incomplete sections.

We will need to continue to replace, update and renovate older buildings and homes over the next 20 years or so, and ¿nd ways of creating new housing for future population growth (over one million in Lower Mainland cities in the next 30 years, according to Metro Vancouver). Also, we can’t forget the commercial and industrial sector if we are to continue to have a good mix of residential and business in Burnaby.” Graham Murchie, Team Burnaby, is a retired urban planner. “When I was Surrey chief planner, our growth rate was much higher than Burnaby’s now. We prepared for it, had MURCHIE up-to-date plans in place, and we talked to the residents, and required that developers consult residents too. Change happened without too much conÀict because people knew what was happening. This is not the case in Burnaby today. 1. Burnaby’s plans are hopelessly out-ofdate. The Metrotown plan, for example, is 34 years old! We need to create a new vision for Burnaby. 2. Our neighbourhoods must be protected from dramatic change, and residents must shape what happens. Council needs public input on how this growth is to occur, what

Burnaby Teachers’ Association endorses BCA The Burnaby Teachers’ Association (BTA) has endorsed the Burnaby Citizens’ Association’s slate of candidates for school trustee. Of the other parties vying for school board seats, BTA president Richard Storch said, that Burnaby Parents’ Voice did not respond to its trustee questionnaire. It also “opposes policy 5.45 on sexual orientation/gender identity and seemed lacking in knowledge on issues critical to teachers in this round of bargaining, when responding to questions on CBC Radio” recently. Green candidates also did not respond to the BTA’s survey. TEAM Burnaby, meanwhile, “is led by the former Burnaby Board of Education human resources director, Bonda Bitzer, who presided over the largest increase of union grievances in the history of our organization...” As for its endorsement of the BCA, Storch said, “BCA candidates were the only respondents who stated their support for a return of stripped collective agreement language on class size and composition and keeping teachers in the classroom rather than gutting public education as part of the provincial government’s 21st century learning initiatives.”

Riot charges sought

Concussions are a game changer Mario Bartel photo@burnabynewsleader.com

or two months Kris Chucko measured the likelihood of resuming his hockey career with telephone poles. The former Burnaby Winter Club grad and ¿rstround choice of the Calgary Flames in the 2004 NHL entry draft was recovering from his second concussion in less than a year by taking walks from his Burnaby home. He would gauge whether he was getting better by counting the number of telephone poles he could pass before nausea and dizziness forced him to return home to ride out the constant headaches in isolation in a dark room. Chucko’s second concussion happened two games into his comeback from his ¿rst, which had cost him the last half of the 2009-10 season. Refreshed and strong again after a summer in which he was able to resume skating and working out, he was hoping to make it to the NHL from the Flames’ farm team in Abbotsford. He was chasing down an opponent behind the net in Milwaukee when he was coldcocked by the shoulder of an onrushing teammate. “We were going after the same guy I guess, and I just didn’t see him coming,” says Chucko of the devastating hit. “After that I felt sick, everything was spinning, I couldn’t look at light.”

When Kris Chucko sustained his ¿rst concussion in a game against the Manitoba Moose in December, 2009, he didn’t really know what was wrong. He’d been hit from the side, crashing his head into the glass. “I got up, I didn’t think much about it,” says Chucko, who was given a memory test and passed with Àying colours. But after the game he felt tired, his eyes couldn’t focus. “I thought I was just extra tired, exhausted after the game,” says Chucko. Getting on a plane for a road trip the next day, he says he felt “under the weather.” When he next stepped on the ice he felt dizzy, “everything was spinning, it got worse and worse.” He didn’t put skates on again until May, 2010.

Nine Burnaby residents make up 15 per cent of the 60 people who Vancouver police have identiÀed and are recommending charges against for their alleged roles in the Stanley Cup riot last June. The suspects—50 men and 10 women—face a total of 163 charges. The average age is 21 and all are being charged, at a minimum, with participating in a riot. The investigation led to numerous charges against the suspects, including a 21-year-old Burnaby man. The Burnaby man was seen in video footage and identiÀed through DNA from blood left at the scene of a break-and-enter to a sporting goods store on Robson Street. He was also found in a number of other videos. Also on Robson he was seen punching a random male victim in the head, knocking him unconscious before running into the crowd. Police have recommended charges of assault causing bodily harm, break and enter, disguise with intent to commit an indictable offence and participating in a riot. The man is known to police and has a previous criminal record involving drug trafÀcking and violent crimes.

Market wants back at city hall

BREAKING NEWS!

Have met with city planners, ‘80 per cent’ chance of move: Hainstock Wanda Chow wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

The Burnaby Farmers Market could be moving back to city hall for next year, says market manager Lyn Hainstock. The market set up shop at Burnaby Village Museum this year as part of the museum’s 40th anniversary season which included free admission. But while the museum tried to accommodate the vendors, many complained that their sales dropped due to seniors not being able to park close by (so as to allow multiple trips to their vehicles with their purchases), and dogs and bicycles not being allowed on site, Hainstock said. A recent survey of customers saw 204 vote in favour of staying at Burnaby Village while 221 wanted to return to the nearby city hall parking lot. Hainstock noted that the numbers are relatively even but people who didn’t want to be at the museum site didn’t come to vote. Meanwhile, she had received a “huge number” of emails and notes from former customers calling for a move and 95 per cent of vendors wanted to go back to city hall. While a few vendors were doing better at the museum, many saw their sales cut by half, she said. Hainstock has met with city planning department staff and has been told a decision whether or not to allow the move likely won’t be made until January. “I’m hopeful.” She believes the Burnaby market has the potential to be bigger than the one at Trout Lake in Vancouver if it’s allowed to move back to city hall. Since the Trout Lake market moved, Hainstock said people had been traveling to the Burnaby market to shop because parking was easier to ¿nd. Once the location is sorted out for the Saturday Burnaby market, she hopes to expand by providing a mid-week market either on East Hastings Street or in Central Park, she added.

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

What’s in a hairy lip?

LAST WEEK:

Men don’t like to think about their nether regions too much. Let alone talk about them. Movember is trying to change that. No, that’s not a spelling error. Movember started in 2003 as a bet between two buddies in Australia to see who could grow the best moustache. Some more friends and relatives joined in and started to turn the follicle challenge into an awareness and fundraising campaign for men’s health issues like prostate cancer. Last year, 447,808 registered participants raised $76.8 million worldwide; almost a third of that was raised by 119,000 Canadians. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer to affect Canadian men, afÀicting one in seven. It will kill 4,100 men this year. But if caught early, it is 90 per cent curable. Unfortunately, there aren’t a lot of symptoms to alert its presence. That’s why prostate Cancer Canada recommends men over 40 talk to their doctor about a prostate examination, including a prostate speci¿c antigen (PSA) blood test. For many men, that’s a rather uncomfortable proposition. But 25 years ago breast cancer lurked similarly in the shadows. Since then, swaddled in pink ribbons and balloons, propelled by runs, walks, rides and paddles, awareness about breast cancer and fundraising to help ¿nd its cure has exploded into the public consciousness. And it’s had a real impact. Since 1999, the incidence of breast cancer in Canada has stabilized, and since 1986 the death rate from breast cancer has dropped 30 per cent. More women are bene¿tting from better screening and advances in treatment. As yet there are not many mass runs for prostate cancer, no ribbons of reminder to be worn on lapels, no purple power tools to show support. But there is Movember. And it’s as simple as neglecting to shave for 30 days. Or pledging support to someone who’s participating.

Zalm joins Hydro conspiracy club VICTORIA – The smart meter installation van arrived on my street last week, as BC Hydro’s smart grid project heads toward the halfway mark. This system will not only detect outages, electricity loss and theft, it enables a voluntary time-of-use system where users can get a discount by shifting consumption to low-peak times. You could even set up wind or solar generation that the meter would record and subtract from your bill. But apparently no one wants to talk about that. Black Press papers continue to run letters with exaggerated or false claims that stoke baseless fear of radio waves. Where is this coming from? I’m grateful to the anonymous smartmeter foe who started sending me updates from “Citizens for Safe Technology,” a loose collection of U.S. and Canadian activists that claims to include doctors, lawyers and other professionals. Not much is professional about the Canadian content on their website. A video starts with a juvenile union parody showing executives

Tom Fletcher tÁetcher@blackpress.ca

plotting to sell BC Hydro to General Electric. Then it moves to an apparently serious interview with Bill Vander Zalm, who expands on his earlier conspiracy theory about the harmonized sales tax being part of a European Union plot for world domination. Vander Zalm asserts that smart meters and appliances create such a powerful surveillance network, “they’ll even know what you’re cooking.” There are those who claim smart meters can tell what channel your TV is on, but this is the ¿rst I’ve heard about them detecting whether you’re having eggs or oatmeal for breakfast. And who might “they” be? “The big picture is of course that we’re moving to globalization,” Vander Zalm intones. “Eventually

we’ll be governed out of Brussels, Belgium or someplace like that. And this all ties into that. They can monitor what’s happening anywhere in the world. It’s Big Brother. We’ll be totally controlled.” He stops just short of what I’ll call the Full Tinfoil, a belief that these radio waves control minds directly. Wildlife artist Robert Bateman also makes an ass of himself in a brief video, where he describes hiring someone to come in and detect “hot” wiring in his Saltspring Island mansion. (A surprising number of selfappointed smart meter experts sell measuring and “shielding” services.) A reader sent me a newspaper commentary by Nelson-Creston MLA Michelle Mungall, basically a vague summary of NDP talking points about smart meters being too expensive and a possible health threat. This is interesting, because Nelson owns its own power utility, which started installing wireless meters in 2004. They ¿nished last year, with no protest. I asked Mungall why. She was

on the city council that chose a different model, a “drive-by” meter. They broadcast readings every 15 seconds and still need meter readers, who no longer have to get out of their trucks. BC Hydro’s meters signal only three or four times a day, but one of the oft-repeated false claims is that they secretly transmit much more often with some sort of damaging energy pulses. And yet these granola-loving West Kootenay folks cheerfully endure a 24/7 bombardment of what are essentially brief cellphone signals. Mungall said Nelson council speci¿cally rejected a smart grid system, “because of the cost.” Somehow retaining meter readers saves the city money. She noted that rural parts of her constituency are serviced by BC Hydro, and some people are very concerned. I’ll bet they are. Not just in West Kootenay, but a few other remote areas known for production of B.C.’s number one cash crop. ■ Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

COMMENT Remember your duty

Re: Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement CETA It is now less than one month until the municipal elections in B.C. None of our local politicians have made the CETA an election issue. I know that the Burnaby Council and the UBCM have passed resolutions and lobbied the Federal Government to exempt municipalities from CETA . The effects of the CETA will be a signi¿cant threat to the concept of democracy at the local level. Decisions regarding buying locally produced goods or food, pollution control, local job creation, control over our water supply services, health care and many more will be subject to the new CETA rules. If some European corporation thinks that it has lost future pro¿ts as a result of a city decision then that corporation can sue the city, province or Canada for those theoretically lost pro¿ts even if the decisions are in the public interest. The suits will be decided by a non-elected “trade dispute resolution panel”. I would have expected municipal politicians of all stripes to have been raising this. But no! The federal and provincial governments have been very quiet about these negotiations with Europe and hope to complete the deal by year’s end so this may be the last chance for British Columbians to become informed and tell their local politicians to object.

HOMELESS CHAMPIONED When Brian J. O’Neill says that I have never bothered to champion the homelessness problem before city council he is just wrong. While a Burnaby city councillor from 2005 to 2008, I raised the issue repeatedly. I raised it in open council and in private. I also raised the issue at a GVRD Council of Councils meeting on housing issues and presented my plan for dealing with homelessness and the shortage of low income housing to a meeting of members of council, and Burnaby’s MLAs and MPs. All of my efforts came to nothing because the BCA-controlled council refused to cooperate with the province in dealing with these issues. They simply repeated their worn-out line and said it’s a provincial responsibility and that the city wasn’t going to bail the province out. Of course it is a provincial responsibility but the city has a responsibility to cooperate with the province in dealing with the problem. Garth Evans Burnaby

QUIETLY LOSING LOCAL CONTROL

have 11 Skytrain stations inclusive of the four town centre stations. The decision to densify four of them a half century ago might have been “visionary” at the time, but the world has changed considerably since the Sixties and Seventies (and so have the BCA). I doubt most people of that time anticipated the worldwide changes in human migration, the reality of a global economy, climate change, ALR encroachment, or local food security. Another misconception is that council has the capacity to rezone a property against the wishes of the property owner. If a homeowner wishes to rezone a property, they can apply to do so. Those owners with single and two family lots that had the good fortune to buy close to a SkyTrain hub deserve the opportunity to rezone their property to higher density, make a handsome pro¿t from doing so and reduce the ecological footprint of the people that settle there in the future. One point that we can agree upon with Mr. Rankin is the need for a community “buy-in” to densi¿cation. As far as I can see, when the supplementary density bonus amendment “S-zoning” was introduced and unanimously approved by the current council, there was little, if any, public consultation or input. New towers being constructed or considered are planned to be 50 to 100 percent taller than anything that existed in the town centers before. These projects will add to congestion and over-crowding. Greens believe the affected neighbourhoods were not given an opportunity to “buy-into” this S-zoning. If the BCA and Team want to vilify Greens for trying to give a voice to people in the town centers then so be it. Rick McGowan Green candidate for city council

So now all the politicians are gearing up for election or re-election. This past term has given us a one-party selection, so now we must weigh in our minds whether this choice helped or hindered us. Friends and neighbours, I say a one-sided governing body or city council is not favourable to any of us. Don’t be “slate crazy.” The act of voting is a privilege to all of us whether we are native or immigrants to this land. We have been granted the right to a free vote and we must exercise that right. If a change is in order and you feel it then you must decide the matter. Don’t be dictated to prior to casting your ballot and remember most “election promises are only words.” Talk is cheap, action proves. Think before you cast your ballot but most of all “CAST ONE.” Remember our fallen comrades Nov. 11 and voting for city council Nov. 19. “I believe in you the people.” V. Blancard Burnaby

Can’t quite bear it

On The Air A Musical Revue

hosted by DJ Giant

n Thanksgiving Monday we did what most people do on a day reserved for family and gratitude: we shopped. With a ¿ve-year-old and a two-year-old in the mix, my wife and I soon sought refuge through a walk at Colony Farm Park. My older son spotted it ¿rst, on the sign at the trailhead: a picture of a bear and a warning. He broke into tears, terri¿ed at the idea of taking the narrow path into the bear’s awaiting jaws. As a responsible parent, I knew it was time to tell a few lies. “There are no bears here, buddy.” Tears. “The bears are all asleep, sweetheart. They’ve gorged themselves on salmon, dug a big hole and gone to bed until the spring.” More tears. Oblivious to the possible trauma I was causing, I gently tugged him along the trail. editor@burnabynewsleader.com “Bears are afraid of us,” I assured him. “When they hear us coming, they run away.” Though I was ¿nally being truthful, he found this ludicrous. “No they don’t.” His mother, who knows parents are supposed to put their children’s needs ahead of their own, said we’d best head for home. I was ticked. I needed that walk. But I couldn’t really get angry with the little dude for being afraid of bears. After all, I’m terri¿ed of them myself. Had I admonished him, my wife might remind me of a few camping trips over the years.

I awake in our tent to the sound of scratching outside. I hold my breath for a long time, deathly still. What is it? A squirrel? A raccoon? Did we leave some charred hot dogs in the ¿re? Did we spill too much wine? M&Ms? I picture a very large, ravenous black bear sharpening its claws, pondering who to eat ¿rst. A comforting thought springs to mind: my head is quite large, dif¿cult to swallow whole. Lake Louise Campground, August, 4 a.m.:

surrounded by Àeshy American and German tourists. But it feels like groundhog day when I awake to hear that damned rustling again. Breathing with my mouth wide open seems to cause less friction as the air passes my lips. I keep my eyes closed, hoping the lack of sight will make my hearing more keen. It does. But it means I almost jump out of my skin when my wife, again blissfully asleep, rolls over in her sleeping bag. SHUSH. Damn you, woman! The sound is louder than a Stanley Cup Final crowd at GM Place. My eyes Àash open, and I realize our tent roof is just inches from my face. It has collapsed. Did the bear do this? I lose track of time here. It may be two minutes later, it may be an hour, but somehow I ¿nd the courage to unzip the door to the tent. Outside is a winter wonderland, six inches of snow, in August. My rustling mystery solved. I have one more bear memory:

I am about six, on my way to my local park. I walk down a short street and through a little trail among the trees and come out onto a grass ¿eld. As I emerge, someone shouts at me. At the far edge of the ¿eld is perhaps half a dozen police cars, and an of¿cer shouting at me to go back, waving one hand at me, holding a revolver in the other. I turn, go through the trees, down the road, back to my room to play Lego or something. Soon, there is a shot. Then another two. Later that day I return to the park, and stand with some people as they stare at the furry lump about 15 feet from the trail I walked earlier. I am surprised at how small it looks. There is a small pool of blood. As I remember it, I was sad the bear died. And I was more afraid of the gun in the of¿cer’s hand than of how close I might have been standing to the bear. But maybe that’s memory through the lens of an older self. The truth is people do get attacked by bears. And for bears, this year’s been brutal in B.C. with hundreds “destroyed” by the Conservation Of¿cer Service. My little cub was right to be wary after seeing that sign on the trail. I was a little silly to be afraid in those tents. But if I were a bear, and I saw a human being, I’d head back into those hills. ■ Chris Bryan is editor of the NewsLeader, and has a strained relationship with tenting.

The people that I deliver to are great because they always say thank you. I always try to deliver my newspapers on time. I believe that I am helping my community. Even though it is not a big job, I Ă&#x20AC;nd it helps little by little. This job has been easier than I thought it would. My supervisor Andy gives me delivery tips and guidelines. With his help it has been easier along the way. It is an honor to be chosen as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Career of the Weekâ&#x20AC;?. I hope that everyone reading my message has a great day!

Metro Vancouver will raise the garbage tipping fee at its transfer stations Jan. 1 from $97 to $107 per tonne, an increase of more than 10 per cent. A sluggish economy means less garbage is being generated and less tipping fees are collected, so the region has had to increase the rate to cover the Ă&#x20AC;xed costs of the wastedisposal system.

Brian Martyn looks out from his apartment living room at the construction activity across the street at the Chancellor condo project. He works a late shift driving truck and he says the noise is disturbing his ability to sleep during the day, even though he’s covered his bedroom windows with insulation and he wears earplugs.

Brian Martyn stumbled out of bed convinced Burnaby was in the midst of an earthquake. Last March, the massive earthquake in Japan had dominated the news. A few days later, Martyn felt his apartment building shake with such force, he was sure it was the Lower Mainland’s turn. Instead, it turned out to be the result of demolition crews who had just taken down a wall of the old Kal Tire building on Bennett Street. That was the beginning of Martyn’s noise nightmare. Martyn, 44, works nights as a truck driver and usually doesn’t get to bed until about 2 a.m.

Brian Martyn If I want quiet, I have to stay up after work ... The city is not living up to its obligations to protect my rights.

Construction on Polygon’s 37-storey Chancellor condominium tower at Bennett Street and Nelson Avenue, next to Bonsor Recreation Centre, starts at 7 a.m. sharp, inevitably disrupting his sleep. It doesn’t help that Martyn’s three-storey building is of an older vintage, built without the insulation and noise-reduction standards that are common today. He stresses that he’s mindful that the construction project can’t simply stop so he can get some sleep. He’s put up sound insulation on his bedroom windows and now wears earplugs to sleep. But he’s convinced that the noise he’s being subjected to is beyond what’s allowed in Burnaby city hall bylaws. For instance, Martyn said a concrete pumper truck operates less than 50 feet from his bedroom window. The noise bylaws, he said, are designed only for people who work during the day and sleep at night. The sleep disruptions have left him more irritable and in a “kind of stupor” whenever he wakes. And since he works evenings, for just about every hour from when he wakes at about 10 a.m. his apartment

is surrounded by noise which could even be heard in the background during a phone interview. “If I want quiet, I have to stay up after work ... The city is not living up to its obligations to protect my rights.” Martyn ¿gures he’s already complained to city hall 30 to 40 times since March, with no relief in sight. Charlie Nelson, 40, who also lives in the building and works nights as a limousine driver, agreed with Martyn’s concerns. “I can’t open the window for fresh air without turning up the TV. It’s just been crazy loud.” Dipak Dattani, Burnaby’s assistant director of engineering for environmental protection, said the city has only received complaints from one person over the Chancellor project. “To the largest degree they have been in compliance from our monitoring at the time when we did the calls ... We do appreciate the concerns raised by the resident and have gone out numerous times to take [noise] readings. The last readings we felt that there could be accommodations made.” The highrise project is currently in the parkade structure phase. City staff met last week with the developer and are working on addressing the noise being created by the concrete pumper truck. The pump rate has been reduced to prevent the fans and their noise from kicking in, said Dattani. The developer is checking with its equipment supplier to see if a quieter machine can be provided. Other possible solutions are also being explored. As for how construction sites can breach noise bylaws, Dattani said city hall does not give construction sites leeway “but the reality is we’re not at every construction site 24 hours a day.”

Burnaby man stabbed A 24-year-old Burnaby man is in hospital after being stabbed in the Lansdowne Shopping Center parking lot Monday.

Police have interviewed witnesses but say it’s too early to says what led up to the incident. The victim suffered life-threatening injuries but is expected to recover. Anyone who witnessed the incident is asked to call Const. Edge at 604-278-1212 or, to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Moustache style guide (American Moustache Institute) • Chevron: A thick and wide moustache, usually worn long to cover the top border of the upper lip. • Dali: A narrow moustache with long points bent or curved steeply upward. Named for artist Salvador Dali. • English: A narrow divided moustache that begins at the middle of the upper lip, with long whiskers pulled to either side of the center. Areas beyond corners of the mouth are typically shaved. • Fu manchu: Moustache begins on the upper lip with long whiskers that extend down each side of the mouth to the jaw. The areas just past the corners of the mouth are shaven. • Handlebar: Bushy moustache that must be worn long enough to curl the ends upward, usually with styling wax. • Horseshoe: A full moustache with vertical extensions grown on the corners of the lips and down the sides of the mouth to the jawline to look like an upside down horseshoe. • Imperial: Large moustache growing from both the upper lip and cheeks. Whiskers from the cheeks are styled upward. • Pencil: A thin, narrow, closely cropped moustache that outlines the upper lip. • Pyramidal: A general name for moustaches that are narrow on top and wide at the bottom. • Toothbrush: A thick moustache shaved to about an inch wide in the centre of the upper lip. • Walrus: A large, bushy, droopy moustache that hangs down over the lips, often entirely covering the mouth.

New start for Movember J ohn Buis is getting a clean start. On his face. Monday, the Staff Sergeant Major of the Burnaby RCMP let his boss, Chief Supt. Dave Critchley, shave off his signature waxed moustache. So he could start growing a new one. Buis is leading a contingent of Burnaby RCMP of¿cers seeking to stimulate the follicles on their upper lip for “Movember,” an initiative by Prostate Cancer Canada to raise awareness and funds for the most prevalent cancer to afÀict men. Movember started in 2003 with 30 participants in Melbourne, Australia. It has since spread around the world; last year almost 448,000 men and women registered to grow moustaches, more than a quarter of them in Canada. For Buis, making the decision to participate in Movember was easier than the reality of losing his beloved handlebars. After all, his long, well-coiffed neatly-waxed moustache that spans his upper lip and ends in a curled Àourish somewhere above his cheeks has become something of a ¿xture in Burnaby, at community and charitable events he attends representing the RCMP, and on the sidelines at the BC High School boys basketball championships of which he’s the coordinator. It’s a look borne of necessity rather than fashion affectation. Buis grew his ¿rst moustache in 1994, when he was seconded to the United Nations peacekeeping force in Croatia for six months. It was long, and thick and bushy. “My kids didn’t recognize me when I got home,” says Buis It also contravened the RCMP grooming code. So when he returned to duty, rather than shave it, or trim it down, he shaped and waxed it so it complied.

“As it got longer, I started to curl it rather than let it grow down past the corner of the mouth,” says Buis. He’s lost the moustache once before, in 2006 as part of his fundraising efforts for the Cops for Cancer bike tour. Buis suspects he’ll endure a lot of quizzical looks as he grows it back in again. “It’s part of who I am,” says Buis, who also gave up the hair on his head Monday. “But it will be a challenge for people to recognize me.” To learn more about Movember, register as a participant or to donate, go to ca.movember.com

His second concussion was worse. He spent more than two weeks in a completely dark room. He couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t open the blinds, watch TV or even use his cellphone; the slightest exposure to light sent bolts of pain through his bruised brain. He couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exercise. He suffered a constant headache for more than Âżve months. And while everyone told him to take it easy, not worry about it and the symptoms would eventually subside, he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but worry. About his health. About his future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sit at home without thinking about it,â&#x20AC;? says Chucko. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re an athlete the way you relieve stress is through physical activity, working out, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way to get rid of the stress from a concussion when you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do any physical activity.â&#x20AC;?

CHOICEquotes Bjorn Osieck, B.C. Soccer Association The Ă&#x20AC;rst premise is to keep it simple. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not expecting anyone to earn a PhD in concussions. We have to give them tangible guidelines. SPORTS GROUPS PROACTIVE Sports associations are working hard to get ahead of the issue, giving administrators and coaches the tools to better recognize and manage head injuries, says Rizzardo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My talk with Burnaby Minor wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have happened Âżve years ago.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to be ahead of the curve,â&#x20AC;? says Lalji. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Athletes are bigger, faster, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re generating more speed through contact.â&#x20AC;? Last spring, Lalji had all 70 kids in the NWSS football program take a 10-minute online test that measured their reaction speed, cognitive ability, attention and memory. Their scores formed a baseline against which they could be compared should they sustain a head injury. His program is one of Âżve or six in B.C. High School Football that participated in the voluntary tests. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoping theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be made mandatory. High school teams are also now required to have qualiÂżed medical care available on the sidelines, from a doctor, certiÂżed athletic therapist, Level 2 physiotherapist or a certiÂżed First Aid attendant

whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also completed a special course in head injury management. The sport itself has also changed. Headshots are penalized. And where once coaches taught players to ram their helmets into opposing players to inĂ&#x20AC;ict maximum damage, coaches now instruct players to practise â&#x20AC;&#x153;safe tackling,â&#x20AC;? leading with their shoulders, keeping their head and eyes up. In amateur community football, coaches are required to review all education material about concussions sent to them by Football BC, including a handy pocket-sized card that outlines what a concussion is, the symptoms, what should be done if a player is suspected of having a concussion and the six steps a player must take before returning to action. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As soon as somebody gets a shot in the head, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot more followup,â&#x20AC;? says Dino Geremia, Football BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s technical director and also the linebacker coach at Simon Fraser University. But Lalji says thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still more that could be done to lessen the danger of concussions in football, like restricting the amount of contact in practices. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cumulative effect when players sustain a lot of hits in practice, then they get hit even more in games,â&#x20AC;? says Lalji, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lost three of his players to concussion so far this season. Soccer is also stepping up its vigilance to head injuries, says Osieck. The B.C. Soccer Association has formed a close partnership with the Washington Youth Soccer Association, which has become a leader in educating its members about concussions with its â&#x20AC;&#x153;when in doubt, sit them outâ&#x20AC;? program that mandates any athlete whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sustained a blow to the head must not play again until they can be properly assessed by a doctor. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also collaborating with Sports Medicine BC to create resource materials for coaches and draft soccer-speciÂżc guidelines for concussion management. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The challenge is getting that education to a large, diverse contingent of volunteers,â&#x20AC;? says Osieck. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Âżrst premise is to keep it simple. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not expecting anyone to earn a PhD in concussions. We have to give them tangible guidelines.â&#x20AC;? BC Hockey has a number of resources available on its website, including links to videos produced by Hockey Canada demonstrating new rules that penalize head contact and Hockey Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own concussion card.

Recent #concussion talk from Twitter:

The BC Rugby Union, which administers 7,500 registered members and thousands more playing in the province’s high schools, also works with medical professionals who comprise a standing committee that meets regularly to keep up with the evolution of the game and tweak the Safe Rugby program that is taught to all coaches. “The best thing we can do is identify the issues before they become prevalent,” says BC Rugby’s executive director Jeff Sauvé. “The game is managed with safety in mind. It drives all our decisions.” Rizzardo says the medical profession also has to gain better knowledge about concussions. “There has to be better education for regular family doctors because that’s where most people are going to go and the docs are missing it,” says Rizzardo. “If you miss a concussion, it can be a big problem.”

HOPES TO STRENGTHEN HIS BRAIN

@Àghtpcs

Kris Chucko saw numerous doctors in Calgary about his concussion, including a chiropractor. They sent him for CAT scans and MRIs. “But they’re not concussion experts, they’re not the ones who’ve had concussions,” says Chucko. “Basically you’re your own doctor.” Chucko hasn’t been back on the ice since that fateful blow in Milwaukee. He recently announced his retirement from hockey. He’s returned to the University of Minnesota, where he played on a scholarship for two years before he turned pro. He’s studying business management, taking advantage of a program that allows former student athletes to ¿nish out their scholarships. “I thought it would be better to strengthen my brain through education,” says Chucko. He still suffers from the effects of his concussions, like random Àashes. A whiplash injury related to his concussion has left him with a sore and cracking neck. He can’t lift grocery bags into the back seat of his car without pain. Even a bout of seasickness while he was on his honeymoon in Hawaii last summer may have been concussion-related. “You’re always wondering whether the concussion is still affecting you,” says Chucko. “The unknown is the scary part. An athlete can build muscle and strength, but you can’t strengthen what holds your brain together.”

Re #concussion fatigue: It’s a total system shutdown. You can’t push through it. All you can do is stop what you’re doing and rest.

WHEELS First drive 2012 Toyota Prius V V stands for versatile with Toyota’s new Prius model Lorne Drury For Black Press

very year, there are new words that make their way into our vocabulary. One of the latest is hybridization and it may very well have been the Toyota Motor Corp. that coined the word. Toyota started the hybrid revolution about a decade ago with the introduction of its Prius liftback, a hybrid gas-electric car that has gone on to sell more than three million units around the world, including 23,000 in Canada. No longer just a standalone vehicle, the Prius has been turned into a family of cars with the introduction of the Prius V (pronounced vee for versatility, not ¿ve) for 2012 with more models to come in the future. While some manufacturers look to diesel and others to fully electric vehicles, Toyota sees the hybrid as the way of the future and offers more hybrids than any other automaker with eight currently in the Àeet. In fact, by the 2020s, Toyota aims to have a hybrid in every segment of the market. Thus, the hybridization of the brand is continuing full bore as Toyota strives to increase its penetration in the Canadian

hybrid market to more than the 60 per cent it currently holds. Although the third-generation Prius liftback will carry on unchanged for the time being, the Prius V is clearly aimed at the family buyer. Toyota says the Prius V offers 50 per cent more cargo space behind the rear seats than the liftback and has more cargo space than 80 per cent of the small SUVs in the market. It is classi¿ed as a crossover but one could also think of it as a “mini” minivan as its tall roof and wagon-like rear hatch allow for lots of usable cargo and passenger space. With the rear seat at its rearmost position, there is 971 litres (34.3 cu ft) of cargo room. The 60/40 split rear seats also fold down to produce 1,905 litres (67.3 cu ft) and if you need even more room, the front passenger seat folds to handle really long items. The Prius V has seating for ¿ve adults and the rear seats actually travel fore and aft by 180 mm to add to the versatility of the design. That allows for more rear passenger legroom when needed, or, more cargo capacity when the rear seats are in the most forward position. I’ve been talking a lot here about interior capacity and versatility because that is what sets the Prius V apart from its liftback sibling.

and 5.4L/100 km in our two combined city/highway driving routes. The system uses an electronic CVT (continuously variable transmission) that routes power to the front wheels. You can choose from four drive mode selections: normal, EV, ECO and Power. Even with the Power mode selected, this is a sluggish car that de¿nitely favours fuel economy over performance. Competition for the Prius V comes from cars like The Prius V uses much the same Hybrid Synergy System as the original liftback model, but with a few tweaks and improvements. the Mazda5, Volkswagen Power comes from a 1.8-litre four-cylinder gas engine and a 60 kW Jetta Sportwagon TDI, and high-torque electric motor along with a 27 kW battery. crossovers like the Ford Escape and Honda CR-V.
