Like just about every city in the Lower Mainland, Burnaby has its share of rat-running traf¿c through neighbourhoods and occasional rush-hour gridlock. The NewsLeader asked two candidates: What are the traf¿c and transportation issues in Burnaby and what should the city do about them?

Garth Evans, Team Burnaby, is a lawyer specializing in social housing. He served as city councillor from 2005 to 2009. “Traf¿c problems are a major concern in many Burnaby neighborhoods including Burnaby Heights where I live. Many of my neighbors have complained to me about the commuter traf¿c passing through our neighborhood. When I was a city councillor and sat on the traf¿c committee I frequently EVANS raised this issue and as a result the city held a public consultation process and produced an area traf¿c study. So far nothing has happened. What is required is a traf¿c control system like those in many Vancouver neighborhoods to prevent commuter traf¿c from using our residential streets. This would involve roundabouts and street barriers designed to direct the traf¿c back onto Hastings, Willingdon and Boundary. Similar action is required in many other neighborhoods and a Team council will act quickly to implement such a program. “Infrastructure construction is not keeping pace with new development with the result that our road

network is becoming more and more congested and we are facing future gridlock. Our tax dollars must be used to construct the required infrastructure before future high density development is permitted.” Incumbent Coun. Nick Volkow is a retired truck driver and chair of the city’s transportation committee. “Our problem is we’re smack dab in the middle of Metro Vancouver. So our problem is everybody from east of Burnaby is heading into Vancouver. Our problem is trying to mitigate the Àow of traf¿c from the Tri-Cities and Surrey, and with the new expansion of the Port Mann Bridge and the freeway, it’s not going to make it any easier.” Burnaby city hall will be reviewing its transportation plan, said Volkow, noting it’s been at least 15 years since the last review. “We’ve just done the Heights traf¿c plan, bringing in some traf¿c calming measures—roundabouts, curb bulges and synchronizing the lights along Hastings Street. We do the best we can with what we have.” He noted the city just won an award for a system which allows the drivers of all Burnaby emergency response vehicles to control any signalled intersection in the city to VOLKOW help them get to calls as soon as possible. “We’re in a great location. But with that too, comes the responsibility of allowing folks that are going through Burnaby to try to get there without impinging on our residential neighbourhoods. It’s an ongoing struggle. I think I’d be lying to you if I said we’ve got the magic bullet and the solution for it.”

Team would put grievances online Team Burnaby is promising to post employee grievances online if voters elect the party to a majority on school board. Team school board candidate Bonda Bitzer, a former director of human resources for Burnaby school district, said posting grievances on the board’s website would increase the transparency around school district issues. She said parents and district employees have a right to know about issues in the school district. “At step one, a grievance is often a misunderstanding between an employee and a supervisor and should not be posted but by step three, a grievance is an issue between the Burnaby Teachers’ Association and the board and should be

posted,” said Bitzer in a press release. She stressed that any posting of grievances would protect the identities of those involved in complaints, involving both teaching and nonteaching staff. But the issues raised in the grievances would be made public to give parents and taxpayers insight into employer-employee disputes in Burnaby schools. “People will be able to draw their own conclusions on the merits of various grievances and whether the board is acting responsibly and ful¿lling its mandate as a public education body and employer.” wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

A4 NewsLeader Wednesday, November 9, 2011 BUGGED? Several libraries in the reigon have faced temporary closures to deal with the discovery of bedbugs. Recently, two Burnaby branches dealt with the insect, and just two weeks ago, they were found at New Westminster public library. Patrons visiting there last week were asked their thoughts.

...Says he uses the library four times a week, when he heard about the bedbugs, “I was surprised, I was shocked, I couldn’t believe the bed bugs got into books.” Says the presence of bed bugs in the library makes him think twice about borrowing books.

...Says the bedbug infestation at New Westminster library has given him “very minor pause” when using the library, but it is in the back of his mind. He says it’s a very limited outbreak so he’s not too worried.

...Says when she heard there were bedbugs in the library, “you got a bit of a scare, but they’ve looked at all the books,” and she’s conÀdent the problem is under control. She is taking a closer look at the books she takes home to make sure they’re not infested.

Michelet, who is the handler for bedbug-snif¿ng beagle Vegas, said his dog sees his work as much as a chance to eat as an opportunity to work. In a demonstration, Vegas was quick to ¿nd the live bedbugs inside vials hidden inside a roomful of furniture at Care Pest’s of¿ces. Each time he sniffs out a bug, he sits, pointing his noise at the source. With each successful detection, he gets a bite of kibble. The four dogs used by Care Pest are trained in Florida and are all smaller breeds—beagle (Vegas and Ranger), terrier cross (Duke) and whippetbeagle cross (Sky)—since they’re less threatening to clients who are then more willing to use them, Michelet said. In the worst cases, it appears the dog isn’t even necessary, as he shows photos on his cellphone of a side of a bed absolutely covered with the bugs. In that case, the boy whose bed it was is among the 50 per cent of people who don’t react to bedbug bites, so he never noticed the bugs which were on the side of the bed against a wall.

“They’re in apartments, hotels, hospitals, and now they’re in our libraries,” said McEvoy. “Anyone can get bed bugs, from a typical rental apartment to high end condos and homes.” McEvoy said in New York, the problem has gotten so bad the city formed a Bedbug Task Force to deal with the issue. He believes the Fraser Health Authority should follow suit, and intends to present a motion to council asking Fraser Health to do so.

A Burnaby couple is upset that they had to put down their cat less than a year after adopting him from the Burnaby SPCA. Liisa Harcourt said the male cat, Spot, was eight years old when she and her husband Mark adopted him on Nov. 15, 2010. Shelter staff could not ¿nd his ¿le, but he appeared healthy, she said, although they could see a little pink spot in his ear. Shortly after taking him home, the couple learned Spot had broken, rotting teeth and a cancerous growth on his right ear. They looked after the veterinarian bill and then contacted the SPCA requesting they be reimbursed. They were told “you can always return Spot,” said Harcourt. “I was appalled by that MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADER statement.

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

Honour and respect

LAST WEEK:

Remembrance Day is Friday. Which means a long weekend for most British Columbians. And the temptation to take full advantage of the three-day respite from work will be great. Some may hightail it out of town. Some will get a start on their Christmas shopping. Which is all well and good, provided we pause to honour and reÀect on the sacri¿ces others made that allow us to enjoy such luxuries as long weekends, travel, bountiful stores. The last of the WWI veterans are gone. The ranks of those who served in WWII dwindle every year. Soon they, and the stories they tell to enliven that conÀict to current generations, will also be gone. Their sacri¿ce and their selÀess contribution when they were in the prime of their lives to allow us our current freedoms and quality of life are unquestioned. When they went off to war, the enemy was apparent, unmistakable in its intent. Their job was to be liberators, to vanquish that enemy, banish it forever as a threat. And as we watch them shufÀe by in ever smaller ranks at Remembrance Day ceremonies, it’s hard not to swell with pride at the job they did so very well. The veterans of more contemporary conÀicts, like the war in Afghanistan, don’t have it so easy. The war they were sent to ¿ght is not universally seen as our war. The freedoms they ¿ght to uphold are more removed from our daily lives. The decision to send them there is regarded by some as more political and ideological than just. Sixty years on, their stories won’t be of heroic landings by tens of thousands on forti¿ed beaches; they’ll be about patrols along dusty roads where death might lurk in a pothole around the next corner. The success of their missions won’t be measured in our ability to vote in free elections but in better access to education and an improved standard of living in faraway lands. For that, their sacri¿ce is no less deserving of our honour and respect.

Do you think events like Movember, the Terry Fox Run, Run for the Cure, Ride to Conquer Cancer, etc, are getting us closer to Ànding a cure for cancer?

‘Occupy’ is just another squat VICTORIA – A full three weeks after the Occupy Wall Street protest camp sprang up in New York City, a few stragglers announced they were almost ready to “Occupy Maple Ridge” and “Occupy Revelstoke.” Perhaps other pathetic protests are still being dreamed up around B.C. But most have already packed up, and in places such as Prince George, these anti-capitalist rallies never led to an illegal squat. Let’s be clear about our squats, the ones in Canada and particularly B.C. They are explicitly anticapitalist and statist in their message, which is presumably why they were funded by government unions. Despite the free food, power and porta-potties, these squats quickly became ¿lthy and dangerous as the chronic street drug population replaced the spoiled young drummers and hulahoopers who camped out to curse corporations on their iPhones. And yes, squats are still illegal here, following a unanimous October decision of the B.C. Court of Appeal against David Arthur Johnston.

Tom Fletcher tÁetcher@blackpress.ca

This pretend-homeless guy’s antics are at the root of the latest squatter outbreak. Victoria and its courts caved in to Johnston and allowed camping on public property at night. But he demanded 24-hour squatting rights, because some supposedly homeless people are supposedly insomniacs too. Turns out there were plenty of shelter beds on which to snooze away the day or night, and his vague claim of a constitutional right to camp on public property was summarily dismissed. I had a brief exchange with an Occupy Vancouver “organizer,” one Min Reyes, as she tried to rouse the reluctant radicals of Maple Ridge. Reyes de¿nes herself in her Twitter pro¿le as “Flirting with Anarchism while making love to Socialism,” which sums up B.C.’s occupy movement as well as

anything. “My personal approach to the analysis of society relies on Marx’s historical materialism,” Reyes writes on her blog. After majoring in Marxism at SFU, she moved on to BCIT’s journalism program, but dropped out after a couple of weeks because her studies “compromised my personal values.” Turns out BCIT is all about “skills” to get a “job.” Bummer. A glimpse of these “values” was on display when a reporter from CKNW radio tried to cover a heroin overdose at Occupy Vancouver. She was shouted down and accused of shaping the news to bene¿t “Coke and McDonalds.” At Occupy Victoria, which I visited a few times before it descended into another needle park, signs warned against “chem trails,” smart meters and corporations. Campers were urged to “nationalize ¿nance, energy and food” industries. Five-year plan for tractor production, anyone? Nationalizing banks is also at the top of Occupy Vancouver’s long, pretentious list of demands. Why is this stale leftist ideology so pervasive? Here’s a hint. The

union representing these kids’ teachers is demanding higher corporate taxes to pay for their typically self-serving, ¿nancially illiterate contract demands. Here in Victoria, as in Vancouver, the huge growth in shelter, food, clothing and transition housing service doesn’t impress the hardcore system users. Victoria’s mayor built his reputation with years of street outreach work, but he’s still targeted for the ugliest treatment, including vandalism at his family home. Victoria council even kowtowed by voting to “support” the squat next to city hall, where Johnston used to camp. Then they cut off the power and water, which had been commandeered rather than set up by city staff at taxpayers’ expense, as was the case in Vancouver. In B.C.’s most “progressive” cities, we’re getting used to encountering public areas fouled by vomit, feces and used needles. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press

COMMENT

English

Party’s platform does no good for kids Having read the Parents’ Voice campaign platform and the article about them in the Burnaby NewsLeader, I am increasingly concerned about the suitability of this political party to govern, and even to call itself the voice of parents. The strident opposition to policy 5.45 already showed this party’s determination to punish children who happen to be different and who do not ¿t the heteronormative nature of society. Why haven’t they talked in their campaign about the party’s desire to repeal a policy that would bar discrimination against a minority group? In fact, why have they not said anything about the policy, when it was the very issue that gave rise to this farce of a political party? Since we’re on the topic of their rhetoric toward children, why are they so determined to punish children simply because of their family’s socioeconomic status? The hot lunch program has been in existence for decades, certainly as long ago as when I was in elementary school. It works. It gives children a chance to have the meals needed to ensure they are best able to learn in the school environment. Since the party has concerned itself with achieving better grades for children, why are they opposing something that does just that? Speaking of punishing kids because of who they were born to, why are they so upset about the daycare being run out of the Duthie Avenue installation? Have any of them been to it before? It’s not nearly large enough to be a full school, but for families where there’s no one at home to look after the kids until after work, it’s a perfect venue to go to in order to receive care. Why are they trying to shut it down? The Burnaby NewsLeader already veri¿ed that the statements made by Parents’ Voice don’t hold water with reality (Parents’ Voice ‘facts’ disputed by school district, Oct. 26), but yet they stand by those statements and continue to defend them as though they were indisputable facts. The party’s policy prescriptions, when they’re made at all, do nothing but harm those children. How can they claim to be the voice of any parent when you’re running on a platform that harms children?

If we’re going to make the Stanley Cup rioters accountable for their looting, then perhaps it is time we look at another form of pillaging which warrants similar public outrage: city council salaries. Every year, local taxpayers are forced to pay eight Burnaby councillors hundreds of thousands of dollars—not just for salaries, but for travel expenses, cellphones, faxing, and “retirement allowances”— for doing what is basically part-time work with a rather vague job description. Burnaby’s current council members voted themselves a three per cent raise, and Mayor Corrigan’s salary increased 17 per cent in just one year. This at a time of looming global recession and rising local unemployment. Public of¿cials make an arrogant show of disdain for voters when they increase their own compensation while the ordinary people they serve are losing their jobs and facing an endlessly rising property tax levy.

AGAINST PROGRESS? I was pleased to read that as a result of the approval by Metro Vancouver mayors of a two cent increase in the gasoline tax the construction of the Evergreen Line will start in the near future. The Transportation Minister announced that construction will start in weeks or months. What a relief! After a delay of nearly 20 years the desperately needed SkyTrain link between the northeast and Burnaby will ¿nally become a reality. To no ones surprise Burnaby’s current mayor bitterly opposed the funding proposal. It seems to me that he is opposed to progress generally. I’m not keen on paying more for gasoline but recognize that infrastructure is expensive and must be paid for somehow and that an increase in gasoline tax is the fairest and least painful way to do so.

Letter demands withdrawal of district anti-homophobia policy Wanda Chow wchow@burnabynewsleader.com

A Burnaby teacher has received a death threat in a letter calling for the withdrawal of the school district’s anti-homophobia policy. The letter was sent to the teacher’s workplace last June just as the Burnaby school board was about to vote on Policy 5.45 amid much protest from Parents Voice, a group that formed to oppose the policy, said James Sanyshyn, vice-president of the Burnaby Teachers’ Association. The typed letter, decorated with hand-drawings of knives dripping with blood, reads: “Must immediately withdraw POLICY 5.45! Adhere to the basic social principles! You have no right to do so! You want to destroy our children! You are our enemy! You will be shot!” Sanyshyn said the threat was reported to Burnaby RCMP. The same letter was also sent to another Burnaby school of¿cial, but he did not know if that was forwarded to police. Since the letter was sent, Parents’ Voice formed a political party and is running ¿ve candidates for school board. Sanyshyn said he raised the issue of the letter at a forum for school board candidates Tuesday at the of¿ces of the Burnaby Association for Community Inclusion. “I thought it was appropriate to raise this issue at this time because we’re in a political campaign and I think the citizens of Burnaby need to understand that this political party was formed solely in opposition

to a policy that was designed to protect children,” Sanyshyn said, “and that this kind of hate mail came out of the very, very vicious debate that went on about the policy. “I’m not suggesting that it was sent by Parents’ Voice but obviously somebody who was stirred up by the debate has created this and you have to wonder about a party that engenders that kind of response from people.” Sanyshyn declined to provide information that might identify the recipient out of concern for the person’s safety and privacy. “It’s a disturbing act, it’s a cowardly act and it’s meant to put a chill on any sort of discussion around this very important issue of homophobic bullying and fortunately in the case of the teacher who received it, that individual is not going to decrease their activities. They’re still going to maintain the work that they do.” By Thursday, Burnaby Parents’ Voice was offering a $2,000 reward for information leading to the identi¿cation of those responsible for the letter. Parents’ Voice candidate Homara Ahmad said she doesn’t believe that anyone involved with the party had anything to do with the letter. “We’re denouncing all forms of hate and threats and we’re asking people to join together and stop all these threats and hatred because nobody should have to go through this,” she said. “We’re being accused of something we haven’t done and we want to know who the perpetrator is and no one should have to feel threatened, that’s just not who we are.” Burnaby RCMP Corp. Brenda Gresiuk con¿rmed that they are investigating the complaint. There are no suspects and it is still being actively investigated. “We take threats very seriously and we’re doing everything we can to exhaust the investigation with hopes of identifying the author,” Gresiuk said. Anyone with information on the case is asked to call Burnaby RCMP or Crime Stoppers.

Julian is ﬁnance critic Burnaby-New Westminster NDP MP Peter Julian has been named of¿cial Opposition ¿nance critic. Since being given he job by interim leader Nycole Turmel last weekend, Julian, as part of the standing committee on ¿nance hearings on pre-budget consultations, has met with the Mark Carney, governor of the Bank of Canada, Finance Minister Jim Flaherty and Parliamentary Budget Of¿cer Kevin Page. “I am aware there is a tremendous amount of work to do in the coming months as Canada enters a renewed economic slowdown,” said Julian. “The NDP caucus is hard at work providing economic alternatives as Canadian families are ¿nding it more and more dif¿cult to make ends meet.” JULIAN Page is projecting another 100,000 Canadians will lose their jobs in the coming months, and the international monetary fund is predicting Canada will have among the worst current account de¿cit on balance of payments among industrialized countries in 2012. “Canada is facing huge economic challenges in the coming months,” said Julian. “The current government is stubbornly determined to proceed with signi¿cant new corporate tax cuts on Jan. 1, 2012, at a time when the estimated accumulated pro¿ts of Canadian corporations have reached the half trillion mark and business investment in research and development and machinery is lamentable at low levels. “The government seems to deny, as they did in 2008, that Canada is entering a renewed economic slowdown. I will be pushing the Harper government to put in place wise investments to ensure economic stability, and to address the rampant inequality that we are now experiencing.”

The ministry has lowered the bar to exclude many children from a special needs designation who would have received support in the past. Those children are in the rest of the class. A child with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome sees the counsellor once a week for 30 minutes. Not enough. The child with Asperger Syndrome gets two 30-minute sessions per week. Not enough. Once two autistic children were placed together in the same classroom so one aide could work with them together. That was a disaster. Children who have a â&#x20AC;?very disruptive effect on the classroom environmentâ&#x20AC;? (Ministry description), â&#x20AC;&#x153;over an extended period of timeâ&#x20AC;? are in the Moderate (!?!) Behavioural Support category. What does moderate behavioural support look like in a school? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to each district to manage its funding to cover stafÂżng for this support. And guess what, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not enough. It takes time to get a psycho-educational assessment for a child through the school system, about six months from the time of referral. In the meantime that child is in the classroom. In the meantime teachers and specialists meet to write an IEP, an Individual Education Plan geared to the childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs. Parents are part of the process. Teachers implement the plan in the classroom and meet again to check on progress, rewrite criteria and learning outcomes. It takes a great amount of time. There are often three or four IEPs in the rest of the class, added to the ones for students designated as special needs. Adaptations and modiÂżcations must be made to the program to engage special needs students and problem students in the rest of the class at their NOW OPEN IN VANCOUVER level. This is huge.

hy are teachers making a stand on staffing, and class size and composition? Why are stafÂżng, and class size and composition important to your child? The two questions are halves of a whole. The whole is the classroom and the dynamic that grows there every year with a teacher and a group of students. Both need the classroom to be a positive environment to be able to go forward. Children who have been diagnosed as special needs and given a ministry designation are in every school. But they alone do not create the need for limits on class composition and size. Children with severe learning disabilities or physical disabilities have aides. The child with severe autism has an aide. These children take time and effort in meetings with support staff, paperwork, adapting curriculum, and teacher retraining to better support their learning. But also we must limit the number of special needs children because of the rest of the class. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rest of the classâ&#x20AC;? can have a wide range of abilities and behaviours. It includes the child with autism not severe enough to warrant an aide. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the neighbourhood child with serious behaviours who suffers from neglect or abuse. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the partially deaf child whose parents will not agree to a hearing aid. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the child whose parents will not accept learning assistance or ESL, the supposed stigma too much for them. It includes aggressive and hyperactive students, and of course it includes average to gifted students â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all with needs. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;rest of the classâ&#x20AC;? combined with special needs children can overburden children and teacher.

POPPY FOR REMEMBRANCE

LEST WE FORGET REMEMBER NOVEMBER 11TH WHY THE POPPY PROGRAM? There are four good reasons for the Poppy Program. 1. To remind us of the dreadful cost of war and to encourage us to settle further disputes by non-violent means. 2. To keep alive the memory of those who sacrificed their lives for peace. 3. To remind Canadians of our responsibilities to those who died, to the disabled, and to dependents of those who served.

THOMAS COLBECK Branch of Service: R.C.A.F Bomber Command Unit: 514 &90 Squadron Years of Service: 1941 Served Conflicts: WWII Medals Awarded: Regular I joined the RCAF in July 1941, I started out as a Airfame Mechanic. I was in the Queen Charlotte Islands when Pearl Harbour was bombed. I finished my Air Frame in Saskatoon. I then re-mustered to Air Crew and finished the course and went over to England on the Queen Mary. After flying many planes I was sent to #514 Squadron flying Lancasters. After a mid air collision, â&#x20AC;&#x153;only two got out,â&#x20AC;? I went back to my Squadron. While I was in sick bay, the King and Queen came along with their daughter, she was very slim and a beautiful sweet 16. I then went to #90 Squadron near Mildenhall. After 29 raids I was repatriated, I was sent home on the Ile de France. When I got home I received my Commission - 36 years as a Vancouver fire fighter. I belong to Legion 83 and the Aircrew Association. I will be 90 years old next year!

4. To provide funds to assist ex-service people and their dependents in time of need.

WAIT FOR ME DADDY While looking at the famous photograph “Wait for Me, Daddy” taken in New Westminster in 1940, I envisioned what it might have felt like for the soldiers as they left for war. The courage of leaving for an unknown future is expressed in my poem. I also considered the courage of the wives and family members left behind to wait for the soldiers to come back home and wrote, also from the “Wait for Me, Daddy” photograph, a poem from the viewpoint of the main woman in this image taken in 1940. ~ Susan McLeod Susan’s poems may be found on the following pages

Painting submitted by Irene LaCharite of New West. Artists. Inspired by the famous “Wait for Me, Daddy” photograph

Wait for Me, Daddy is a photo taken by Claude P. Dettloff on October 1, 1940, of The British Columbia Regiment (Duke of Connaught’s Own Rifles) marching down Eighth Street at the Columbia Avenue intersection, New Westminster, Canada. While Dettloff was taking the photo, Warren “Whitey” Bernard ran away from his mother to his father, Private Jack Bernard. The picture received extensive exposure and was used in war-bond drives. In honour of those who fought and in support of those who are ﬁghting. Jim Harasymchuk WWII, William Stevens WWII, Victor Wierzbicki WWII, George Stevens WWI

RE-ELECT BETTY McINTOSH TO COUNCIL LEAVING NEW WESTMINSTER

THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO GAVE US FREEDOM

Inspired by the famous “Wait for Me, Daddy” photograph October, 1940: New Westminster streets are grey, I’m in a line of soldiers marching off to war today. I’m leaving home and family, afraid of what’s in store, But need to serve my country, overshadows fear of war. The sacrifice of leaving makes emotions hard to hide. For liberty and duty, I will risk my life with pride. Believing what I do will save the precious things in life, For this I leave my comfort and my safety, and my wife. I hear a voice that’s calling “Daddy, wait!” and with surprise I turn and see my little boy with eager loving eyes. He’s running to his father for the love he needs so much. I’m not a soldier for the moment, reaching for his touch.

Betty McIntosh City Councillor llor

My life will change forever, but I need to do my part. In Canada is everything, and here I leave my heart. With pain and longing, fear and hope, I leave to meet my fate. Until we fight to Victory, my family must wait.

October, 1940: New Westminster says goodbye. Down the slope of Eighth Street, all emotions running high. This war we never wanted has made other evils pale. There’s nothing more important; we must never pause nor fail. Submitted by Susan McLeod

In honour of those who gave ... BERNICE BERNARD AND “WHITEY” WAIT FOR DADDY

we remember.

Inspired by the famous “Wait for Me, Daddy” photograph I’m the mother of a five-year old who’s tugging on my hand. He’s been looking for his father and he doesn’t understand Why the men are dressed as soldiers and why every face is long, And the lines of men keep coming…Whitey pulls to join along. We’ve been waiting here all morning and I hope my Jack is near. I see fathers, sons and husbands and their wives hold back a tear. And when finally we see him he has almost passed us by! Whitey wrenches from my grasp and runs to Daddy with a cry! Several men can’t help but smile as the spell of gloom departs. It’s rewarding watching children and the meeting of two hearts. And although the day has sadness with departure of our men I will pray to God almighty they will soon be back again. “I will hold you in our memories with stories every day, And will keep your picture prominent so love won’t fade away. And though troubles may come calling, I will meet them at the gate, You must never give up hope, because your family will wait.” Submitted by Susan McLeod

EDWARD F. VOELLMECKE

LESLIE C. HEMPSALL Branch of Service: Royal Canadian Air Force Unit: 435 Transport Squadron Hempsall and his crew of pilot, second pilot, navigator and wireless operator were posted for transport duty in Burma, then occupied by the Japanese army. They became members of one of two Canadian transport squadrons formed to supply Allied troops driving the Japanese troops out of Burma. Their first operation was to deliver 665 gallons of gasoline by parachute drop to a dropping zone just behind the Allied line of battle. For the next 10 months, squadron crews flew up to six sorties per day as the troops forced the Japanese to retreat from their occupied positions. 435 Squadron was disbanded and the crews returned to Canada. Hempsall, now with the rank of Flight Lieutenant, was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and was mentioned in Despatches. He is currently retired and living in White Rock, British Columbia.

Remember Together

Submitted by NewsLeader staff member Annie Sarazin Edwin F. Voellmecke, my stepfather, was born on March 27, 1924 on a farm 9 miles from Muenster, Saskatchewan. He attended St. Peter’s College near Muenster. Ed joined the forces at the tender age of 17 and served for the next 33 years. He trained as a pilot of single engine airplanes at Prince Albert, Saskatchewan in the Royal Canadian Air Force and then took further training in Saskatoon to fly twin engine planes. Ed went on to become a flight instructor for the RAF. During WWII Major Ed Voellmecke was part of the ‘Royal Canadian Air Force Ferry Command’ headquartered at the Dorval Airport in Montreal. He flew the larger planes, the Lancaster, the Ventura and Mitchell needed in the war effort from Dorval to Prestwick, Scotland. On his return to Canada he often flew the wounded back. Ed was with the Royal Canadian Airforce Ferry Command (established in 1940) from 1942-43. While in the service Ed was stationed in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland. The Royal Canadian Airforce Ferry Command precipitated the commercial airline service proving that transatlantic flights for larger planes was possible! For more information go to www.airforces. gc.ca about the Royal Canadian Air Force Ferry Command and its’ role in the WWII effort. Today, Ed lives happily with his lovely wife Veronica in Ottawa.

Remember those who fought for our great Canada.

In remembrance of the veterans who fought for our freedom.

May we prove their lives’ worth the sacriﬁce.

German plum tart

Breaking the Wall T

he Berlin Wall divided Germany for 28 years. It was a misunderstanding that effectively tore it down on Nov. 9, 1989. When Winston Churchill, Harry Truman and Joseph Stalin signed the Potsdam Agreement to divvy up and map out the occupation and reconstruction of Nazi Germany after its defeat in Second World War, they hadn’t anticipated the German people might not be so keen. But while West Germany’s reconstruction and economy Áourished in the post-war years, the East struggled as property and industry were nationalized. Frustrated by the Soviets’ control on their lives and livelihood, more and more East Germans emigrated to the West; by 1960 the East had lost almost 10 per cent of its working age population, many of them well-educated professionals and skilled workers. Early Sunday morning, Aug. 13, 1961, East Germany took steps to stem that Áow, closing the border between east and west, tearing up streets that ran alongside it and erecting barbed wire fences. Over the next 28 years, the 140 kilometres wall was widened, heightened and repeatedly fortiÀed. During its ignominious history, around 5,000 people managed to defect to the west, by digging tunnels, secreting themselves in hidden compartments in vehicles, Áying over the wall in an ultralight. Scores died trying. But with increasing liberalization in the Soviet Union in the late 1980s, and the weakening communist control of the Eastern Bloc, the wall’s days were numbered. Emboldened East

A Berliner Bear peers through a preserved section of the Berlin Wall.

Germans held mass demonstrations that eventually forced their authoritarian leader, Erich Honecker, to resign. Hoping to quell the discontent, the communist government decided to ease the border restrictions that prevented East Germans from leaving. The new rules were supposed to take effect the next day, Nov. 10, but the party boss charged with announcing them hadn’t been fully briefed. He said they took effect immediately. T housands of Germans gathered on both sides of the wall demanding guards open the gates. Over whelmed, at 10:45 p.m. the guards yielded.

Ingredients 2.5 cups Áour 3/4 cup sugar 2 tsp baking powder pinch salt 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into small cubes 2 eggs 2 to 3 tbsp milk 1/4 cup breadcrumbs 1.5 - 2 pounds plums, pitted and quartered 1 tbsp - 1/4 cup sugar 2 tsp cinnamon Method Mix the Áour, 3/4 cup sugar, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl. Add the butter and blend it into the mixture with your Àngers. Beat the eggs and milk together, stir into the Áour mixture until the dough comes together. Remove to a clean, Áoured surface and knead gently until smooth. Wrap the dough ball in plastic wrap and chill for at least one hour. Preheat oven to 400F, and Áour a 9X13inch pan. Roll out the dough, place it in the pan and press to cover the bottom with a slightly raised edge. Prick the dough with a fork. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the dough, then arrange the fruit on top, cut side up. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until edges of pastry are golden brown. Remove from oven and sprinkle liberally with remaining sugar and cinnamon.

as we GE Taking a seat for good health The colourful, soft balls sail through the air at Confederation Seniors Centre in Burnaby, landing in outstretched hands amidst chuckles of delight. But it’s not a game being played. It’s exercise. To the casual observer, tossing neon-bright balls, stretching rubbery bands and wiggling the ¿ngers may not seem like a strenuous workout, but when you’re 90 years old and dealing with health issues like Parkinsons or recovering from a broken hip, every little bit helps. That’s the idea behind the gentle chair exercise session that is held every Tuesday at the Centre, one of its Seniors Active in Living (SAIL) drop-in wellness programs. The gentle exercise sessions, which are conducted by Doreen Player, accompanied by soft music, are part of a pilot program in collaboration with Fraser Health and the Burnaby Health Department to

encourage housebound seniors to get out into the community, stay limber, maybe get a foot massage or their blood pressure checked and enjoy the company of others. Player says they’ve been a rousing success. Most sessions are packed, some seniors traveling with their caregivers from as far away as Kitsilano. Nobody leaves with a frown.

“The aches and pains of daily life disappear,” says Player. “The social aspect is even more important than the physical aspect.” As she’s dealing with seniors with varying degrees of frailty, Player keeps her exercises simple and with no impact. The workout regime was designed with input from doctors to provide maximum

bene¿t with minimal risk. Kinesiology students from Simon Fraser University are often on hand to help out, and learn about the aging population at the same time. For many of the seniors, the reward for their 30-minute workout is lunch in the cafeteria at Confederation Centre, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary. The SAIL program has been around for exactly half that time, launching in 1991 with a health fair and weekly drop-in visits from retired nurses and doctors. Burnaby’s other seniors centres have followed suit, and the four programs are able to pool their resources as “Burnaby partners in seniors wellness.” Confederation Seniors Centre and SAIL will be celebrating their joint anniversaries on Nov. 21, from 2-4:30 p.m. The centre is at 4585 Albert St. in North Burnaby.

Locations have moved around the city until it found its present home in the beautiful Shadbolt Centre for the Arts.
