‘Stealth’ cell tower proposed Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

Scott Telecom Services Inc. wants to put a cell tower in the Lake City Way area but has had difficulty coming up with a design city staff is willing to approve. Vanessa Cartwright and Ryan Scott spoke at Monday night’s council meeting about their most recent design, which they have worked with city planning staff member Zeralynne Modequillo to develop. It is the company’s fourth attempt to come up with an unobtrusive design that the city would be willing to approve, Cartwright said. According to Scott, it is the last revision the company can make on the planned project. “This is the last model we can go,” he said. “It’s the end of where the design has gone.” Cartwright described it as a “stealth tower,” a tall metal pole with metal cabinets beside it to contain the additional equipment. The tower would be located at 8020 Enterprise St. Scott Telecom’s client, Mobilicity, has identified Burnaby as needing more infrastructure for its network, Cartwright said. Mobilicity would have first rights to the tower, with use being offered to three or four other carriers – such as Shaw, Rogers and Telus – afterwards. The visual impact of the tower’s antenna is minimized because the area is not a residential one, Cartwright said. She added that the tower would emit about one to five per cent of Cell tower Page 4

Survivor: Jane Thomas of Burnaby was the first person to receive an experimental fecal transplant for treatment of a superbug infection. Fraser Health has since banned the procedure, saying it must be tested in clinical trials before it can be carried in local hospitals.

Superbugs battle in city woman Resident says life saved by controversial transplant at Burnaby Hospital Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

Two years ago, Jane Thomas went to Burnaby General Hospital for treatment of a bowel obstruction. While there, she became infected with the superbug C. difficile. Thomas, who was 86 at the time, said it lasted for about

a year. “The doctors told me, ‘We fixed you one way, but now you have this,’” she said, The Burnaby resident said she didn’t blame the hospital and knew it could happen to anyone, but she was very concerned. “People are dying from it,” Thomas said. “It’s rampant across the country.” Thomas was the first person to receive an experimental fecal transplant at the hands of Dr. Jeanne Keegan-Henry at the hospital.

“It was a blessing,” Thomas said. “If it wasn’t for the doctors, I wouldn’t be here to talk about it.” The treatment involves transferring healthy stool from a donor, usually a family member, into the infected patient via an enema. Thomas had to continue the treatments to stay healthy, she said, but added she started to feel better after the first six weeks, and within six months, she had recovered from the infection.

Would single-rider rail cars work for SFU sky transit? Polish engineer says his system is the best option Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

What if people could travel up to SFU in comfortable, individualized elevated rail cars with less impact on the environment and less cost than a gondola system? That is what a Polish engineer is proposing with his MISTER (Metropolitan Individual System of Transportation on an Elevated Rail) plan. Ollie Mikosza submitted a proposal to TransLink, asking the company to consider MISTER as an alternative to the gondola currently being considered for Burnaby Mountain. When asked if the system is like an individualized gondola, Mikosza explained it would be more like a taxi, running on an elevated rail system. It

could be expanded throughout the city, for less money than the gondola project up the mountain would cost, he added. The rail system would be like a spider web guide system, which the cars could travel on to various destinations, he added. “It would move just above the road, like a car,” he said. The idea of conveying large groups of people via transit is outdated, Mikosza said, as most people want flexibility and comfort when travelling. The MISTER system would be operated on a private commercial basis, according to Mikosza, and wouldn’t cost TransLink any money to run. The City of Burnaby would be offered a five percent shareholder stake in the operation, and a seat on the board of directors, he added. Because the system would require

fewer materials than a gondola system, it would be cheaper to build, Mikosza said. The MISTER plan would cost about $50 million to build, he said. The gondola project is estimated at $70 million, according to TransLink. Mikosza was upset, and said that his project wasn’t considered in the business case stage of the project, because his application to manage the business case arrived late. But Ken Hardie, spokesperson for TransLink, said there had been a misunderstanding, as Mikosza thought TransLink was looking for technology pitches at this point. Mikosza wasn’t actually interested in developing the business case study, Hardie said, he wanted to propose the MISTER technology as a transportation option for Burnaby Mountain. Transit Page 4

Transit: City will consult with TransLink, community on gondola He will be able to pitch the concept after the business case is developed, Hardie said, at a later date. At this time, approximately 25,000 transit users travel on Burnaby Mountain per day, according to TransLink’s data, with that number expected to increase to 40,000 by 2030. A gondola could possibly transport 3,000 or more people per hour, in half the time of the current bus trips, TransLink’s backgrounder on the project stated. Trolley buses, SkyTrain and rack or funicular railways are also being considered as possible transportation options for the SFU community, according to a City of Burnaby report. The City of Burnaby approved plans for staff to consult with TransLink and other community partners on the business case study at Monday night’s

Pietro Calendino told the delegation that council had seen a staff report on the proposal, and staff had said the antenna was too obtrusive for that area. “They’re willing to work with you on the revised plan,” he said. Cartwright responded that staff had worked with them on the latest revised plan. Staff had indicated it would be approved to go to public hearing if the design for the base included cedar hedging to make it less obtrusive, and if they could “stealth” the tower, she said. City council passed a motion for the planning and building department to work with the applicant on the plan, and develop a presentation for a public hearing.

The 39-year-old Burnaby man was with his 48-yearold boyfriend at the popular St. Leon’s Hot Springs, just outside Nakusp.

OUR VIEW

For many kids who went to public schools in the ’50s and ’60s, corporal punishment – a more genteel word for physical beatings – was just part of the routine. When teachers lost control of their classrooms, they would send the unruly (usually boys) down to the principal’s office for the strap or ruler. The punishment was rarely meted out fairly and rarely achieved results. Dailly saw through the punishment

and decided to outlaw it, to her credit. She also, wisely, deduced that some form of sex education was needed in the schools. While it may seem noncontroversial nowadays, the thought of teachers explaining the facts of life to children was a hotly contested plan. She was, as Barry Jones, said: “classy, strong, she was upbeat, and I think she really cared.” No truer words were spoken.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Burnaby schools offer choice Dear Editor:

Re: Students have many options, Letters to the editor, Burnaby NOW, Jan. 29. Thanks to Mr. Trevor Ritchie for his vote of confidence in the advanced placement and industry training programs in the Burnaby School District. He’s right that both these programs are excellent preparation for life and careers after high school. What Mr. Ritchie may not know is that over 1,100 Burnaby students take advantage of these programs every year, or close to 11 per cent of the students in our secondary schools. Mr. Ritchie is concerned about the cost of postsecondary education. So are we. That’s why we

work hard to provide a variety of avenues for students to transition smoothly into the workplace or onto further education. As he noted, students in the advanced placement program have the opportunity to earn first-year university credits while still in high school, which reduces tuition in their first year. Burnaby has one of the largest advanced placement program enrolments in Canada. Industry training programs, with close to 300 students currently enrolled, allow Grade 11 and 12 students to achieve graduation credits while they pursue the first year of technical training through nine different ACE-IT programs that the district offered this school year.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Programs benefit students continued from page 6

Created here in Burnaby, the industry certification and Industry Connect programs offer in-class training, work experience and certification through a recognized professional organization. These programs equip students for work in areas such as graphics and media arts, computer support and hospitality management. Our high school counsellors also help students and families identify scholarship opportunities – not just for students who excel academically, but for those who demonstrate excellence in athletics, social responsibility, the arts or other areas of interest. Last year Burnaby students earned more than $7 million in scholarships to help fund their post-secondary education. One of the district’s greatest challenges is making our students and parents aware of these programs. Program information is now on district and school websites, the district hosts parent/student information sessions and information brochures are sent to students’ homes. Responding to letters, like Mr. Ritchie’s, is another important way to get the message out that good things are happening in Burnaby public schools. Larry Hayes, chair, Burnaby board of education

Good Samaritan thanked Dear Editor:

heading to the Metrotown SkyTrain station to make my way home after a long day at work. When crossing MacKay, I tripped on a curb and landed face first on the sidewalk. I instantly heard a voice asking me if I was all right. As I pulled myself up, I found a tall young woman beside me saying, “I can see you’re bleeding. I have first aid. If you’ll allow me, I will help you.” And she did, with my grateful permission. She helped me find tissues to apply to my bleeding forehead, assisted me to the nearest medical clinic while carrying my backpack for me, helped me fill out the forms (it was difficult to put on my reading glasses) and then said, “You’re in good hands now” and left. I was indeed in good hands – the clinic staff looked after me well and called a taxi to send me home after I had seen the doctor. I probably could have managed on my own in this situation and would have eventually found my way to the clinic, but this calm and efficient Good Samaritan, whose name I was too dazed to get, made a bad situation so much better with her actions. I’d like to publicly thank her for her extraordinary kindness in an urban landscape where we are too often too busy or fearful to exercise that virtue with strangers.

Falcon: Needs broader appeal continued from page 6

backing his candidacy. If his government were to make any changes to drug policies that end up benefiting those companies, how long do you think it will take for the NDP to cry foul and allege a conflict-of-interest? He also has the support of optometrists and transportation companies. Again, any changes to government policy that affect those operations will be framed against whatever contributions those companies gave to his campaign. There is also the issue of government contracts and grants. If any of them go to any of his business supporters, he may be inviting the kind of scru-

tiny that can dog his time in office. What is somewhat surprising about all this is that Falcon, of all the candidates, does not have to establish his credentials as a business-friendly politician. His reputation on that front is already well known. Instead, I would have thought Falcon would have wanted to soften and broaden his image to appeal to a wider base of voters. Of course, he may think that’s not necessary during the leadership campaign. And, to be fair, the membership of the B.C. Liberal party – who are the ones choosing the leader – are certainly pro-business

in their outlook, so coming across as the most business-friendly candidate will not be a disadvantage in that community. But whoever wins the leadership race will immediately have to govern for all British Columbians – not just party members. And the winner will eventually have to face the electorate in an election. If Falcon does indeed prove victorious on Feb. 26, he will soon discover that support from the business community can only take him so far. In a general election, the winner will need the support of a lot more people than simply CEOs. Keith Baldrey is chief political correspondent for Global B.C.

She has not experienced any side effects, she said. The good bacteria overpowers the bug, Keegan-Henry told The Province, adding the treatment was effective in 90 per cent of cases worldwide. Keegan-Henry has since been barred from performing the procedure by the Fraser Health Authority until clinical trials are done to confirm it is safe, according to The Province. As many as 10 patients have died after becoming infected since she was told she couldn’t do the procedure, Keegan-Henry said. Dr. Andrew Webb, vice-president of medicine for Fraser Health, said in an e-mail that the health authority is open to considering new procedures to help patients recover from the infection.

All-day kindergarten going well in city Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

The school district is transitioning to full-day kindergarten smoothly. The provincial government is phasing full-day kindergarten in across B.C. over 2010 and 2011. In Burnaby, 24 schools started all-day kindergarten last September and the remaining ones will start this coming fall. For September 2010, families who did not want their kids in full-day kindergarten could apply to a school that still had the half-day program, since not all of the schools have yet transitioned to the full-day program. The district hasn’t had much opposition to the plan, according to assistant superintendent Gina Niccoli-Moen. “We had two cases where families did not want a full-day (kindergarten) program, and we began them on a half-day program and did a gradual entry. By the time the end of September rolled around, they wanted the full-day program,” she said. “Those cases we do on a oneon-one basis, and we will continue to do that for September 2011.” Kindergarten is optional for families – they don’t have to send their kids at all, Niccoli-Moen pointed out. Next school year, however, there won’t be any elementaries with the half-day program left to

transfer to, so the district will work with families on a one-on-one basis if need be.

Reaching out to Africa

Students at Burnaby South Secondary are holding a fundraiser on Feb. 17 for their sister school in Kenya. For the past seven years, the school’s student government has been involved with Project Kenya Sister Schools, an organization that connects schools in Canada and Kenya. The sister schools are around the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, a wildlife reserve in central Kenya. Burnaby South teacher Peggy Chow said the schools were set up so the kids have an education and don’t resort to poaching animals around the conservancy. At Burnaby South, they’ve raised more than $20,000 over the past seven years for Endana Secondary School in Laikipia, Kenya. The money helped build a school (they didn’t actually have one at first) and a water retention system and helped pay for books and school supplies. This year, the Burnaby South students are holding the fundraising dinner and silent auction at their high school on Thursday, Feb. 17, at 4:30 p.m. Their goal is to raise $5,000, and all proceeds go to Endana Secondary. For $10 tickets, call 604-664-8560 and ask for Peggy Chow.

School gets a technology boost staff reporter

Burnaby North Secondary is one of six Canadian schools to receive $50,000 from Future Shop for a new technology lab. As part of the retailer’s Future Generation Tech Lab program, six schools were selected from more than 90 hopefuls to receive $50,000 grants to use towards technology. “We’re just really, really super excited,” said principal Lynn Archer. The money will go towards new computers, software, laptops and cameras, as well as upgrades to one of the school’s rooms. “It’s going to be our media, film and broadcast classroom. We’re going to rejuvenate it and bring it up to the 21st century.” Burnaby North was picked because

there is just one computer for 18 students, and the school’s digital sound production and film and broadcast programs draw kids from other districts. The lab should be ready by next September. “It’s not typical for us to go out and have companies fund us unless there’s something wonderful like this Future Shop grant process,” Archer said. “We’re really looking forward to the opportunity to enhancing our students’ learning environment.” School board chair Larry Hayes welcomed the news and checked out the program over concerns around balancing commercialism in schools. “My concerns were subdued because it seemed like a very worthwhile project, something that could help the school without it becoming a real big commercial adventure or a

big advertisement for Future Shop,” he said. “The school is certainly more than happy to accept the money.” The district keeps an eye on balancing corporate donations. “I’m quite confident that senior staff are very aware of the balance,” Hayes said. But, Hayes added, the district would not want to rely on external sources, be it donations from business or fundraising from parent groups. “We still have to be true to our philosophy that public education is public education, and the operation ends should be borne by the taxpayer, by the public.” Company spokesperson Cheryl Grant said there’s no restriction or expectation that the money is spent at Future Shop. “It’s really about giving back into the community,” she said.

How to live life with chutzpah Local resident at the helm of Chutzpah! The Lisa Nemetz International Showcase of Jewish Performing Arts Julie MacLellan staff reporter

The photo on the cover of the brochure – a dancer in motion, head flung back, arms stretching to the skies, skirt in midtwirl – says many things about the festival it’s advertising. It says passion. Abandon. Excitement. Fervour. Fierceness. Intensity. And, of course, chutzpah. Yes, the festival in question is Chutzpah! The Lisa Nemetz International Showcase of Jewish Performing Arts, which runs from Feb. 10 through 27. The multi-disciplinary festival brings local and international performing artists together in a celebration of dance, music and theatre that has grown to be one of the established features of Vancouver’s performing arts calendar. That’s due in no small part to the efforts of Mary-Louise Albert, its artistic managing director – who happens to be a resident of North Burnaby and a passionate backer of the Heights neighbourhood. She loves its walkability, its village feel, its many restaurants (for the record, a favourite is Bombay Bhel) and its sense of community. Not, mind you, that she’s spending a whole lot of time there these days. She’s rather wrapped up in the whole process of putting the festival together, working from the hub that is her cosy, cheerfully cluttered office in the Jewish Community Centre of Greater Vancouver. It’s an enormous undertaking, putting on a festival of such magnitude. But, for Albert, the challenge is an irresistible one. “It’s pretty competitive out there,” she admits. “Having really high-level artists come to the festival, for me, is the way to stay alive.” When she took over the reins seven years ago, she set her sights on growing the festival to a new level. Her philosophy, she says, has always been: “Let’s really support artists and present really good work that people don’t normally get to see.” This year, as always, it’s worked. Among the musical offerings will be the Canadian premiere of Yemen Blues, a nine-member ensemble from Israel and New York that’s headed by Israeli singerpercussionist Ravid Kahalani. They’ll play Venue Nightclub on Granville Street Feb. 24. Another Israel-New York ensemble, Balkan Beat Box, makes a return to Chutzpah! to play for the closing night party at the Commodore Ballroom. “We’ve been able to give bands an anchor date for touring,” Albert points out. Not surprisingly, given Albert’s background as a professional dancer, dance is always a big focus of the festival. On the dance front, the Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company from Israel promises to be another standout, with three shows at the Norman Rothstein Theatre Feb. 22, 23 and 24.

Dance fans will also have a chance to see Israeli choreographer-dancers Yossi Berg and Oded Graf, who – thanks to grants from the Schusterman Foundation and the Canada Council for the Arts – have had a five-week residency in Vancouver, working with Vancouver dancers Noam Gagnon, Justine Chambers and Ziyian Kwan. Albert notes that Berg and Graf have been active in Vancouver while they’re here, holding classes around the city and meeting local dancers during rehearsals at the Norman Rothstein Theatre. “Connecting international artists with local artists, it’s kind of the juice that keeps you going,” Albert says with a smile.

On the theatre front, the festival has seen growth this year, with three productions that all have extended runs. Falsettos, a Broadway musical directed by Burnaby’s Peter Jorgensen, runs at the Norman Rothstein Theatre Feb. 12 to 20. Visiting Mr. Green is being co-presented with Presentation House Theatre in North Vancouver, running Feb. 10 to 27. And, in the Jewish Community Centre’s Wosk auditorium, Itai Erdal’s How To Disappear Completely will run from Feb. 17 to 27. The latter, Albert notes, is a brand-new production that’s been developed based on Erdal’s own life. In September of 2000, Erdal received a call telling him that his

mother had been diagnosed with lung cancer and had only months to live. Then a recent film school grad, he dropped everything and flew back to Israel to spend time with her, documenting the final months of her life on film. “It’s so, so generous of him to share this with people,” Albert says. For Erdal, who’s known as a lighting designer, this will be his first time performing. Albert notes it’s one of the joys of the festival, to be able to offer a space for new work. “It’s hard to get brand-new work and get it presented in a high-profile forum,” Chutzpah! Page 12

Films explore history Two upcoming film screenings are exploring stories connected to the JapaneseNorth American experience of the Second World War. The Japanese Canadian National Museum in Burnaby is presenting screenings of The Cats of Mirikitani, Henry’s Glasses and Ishizue: fusion of the hearts. The Cats of Mirikitani is being shown on Thursday, Feb. 3 at 7 p.m., with additional showings on Saturday, Feb. 26 at 2 p.m. and Saturday, March 26 at 2 p.m. The film, by director Linda Hattendorf, traces the life of Jimmy Mirikitani, an 80-year-old Japanese-American artist who was born in Sacramento and raised in Hiroshima. By 2001, he is living on the streets of New York City, sitting alone on a corner in Soho drawing whimsical cats, bleak internment camps and the red flames of the atomic bomb. What begins as a portrait of one homeless man becomes a document of daily life in New York leading up to 9/11 – and of the deeply intertwined story of Mirikitani himself, and how he ended up on the streets. When a filmmaker stops to ask Mirikitani

about his art, his tales come out. The result is a film described as “an intimate exploration of the lingering wounds of war and the healing power of art.” On Saturday, Feb. 19, the museum is hosting a double-bill showing of Henry’s Glasses and Ishizue: fusion of the hearts. Henry’s Glasses, by director Brendan Uegama, is a 20-minute film telling the story of a young boy in a JapaneseCanadian internment camp who must use the power of his imagination to escape reality and help his elderly new friend. Uegama and some of the cast will be in attendance. Ishizue, directed by Linda Ohama, is a 20-minute film featuring 13 young Vancouver Chibi Taiko players who travelled to Japan – most for the first time – and practised taiko with a traditional Japanese group in Hiroshima. Both screenings are by donation, with a suggested donation of $5. The Japanese Canadian National Museum is at the National Nikkei Museum and Heritage Centre, 6688 Southoaks Cres.

Cutting skills are key ON COOKING

Chef Dez

s the final entry of a three-part series on cutting, this column will focus on cutting techniques. (If you missed either two of my previous columns on knives or cutting boards, please e-mail me at dez@chefdez.com.) When holding a “chef’s” knife, it is important to have it balanced properly in your hand to reduce fatigue and improve control. To find this balance point, carefully place approximately the middle of the flat side surface of the knife’s blade on your extended index finger a couple of inches over a cutting board. Slowly move the knife, so that your finger travels up or down the knife’s blade, to find the position on the knife where it is completely balanced by your one finger. At that point, place your thumb of your same hand on the opposite side of the blade and wrap your remaining fingers around the handle. On a good-quality knife, this balance point will be approximately on the first inch of where the blade extends from the handle. It may seem awkward at first, to grasp the base of the blade in your hand, but after regular practice, it will become comfortable. Holding the knife in other fashions, such as having the index finger extended on the top of the knife when cutting, will reduce the amount of control one has and increase the chance of injury. If you find these instructions on holding a chef’s knife are unclear, I recommend searching the Internet to get a visual of this technique. Placement of the oppo-

site hand (the one holding the food) is also just as vital to prevent injury. One should grasp the product in a claw-type fashion, with the fingertips bent inwards and the thumb tucked behind them. Having the fingertips bent in towards the palm of the hand will get them out of harm’s way of the knife blade.

Everything’s Coming Up Roses

Continued from 15 It’s been awesome so far.” Karpoff fell into the floral industry, having originally gone to school to be an addictions worker. But the longer she stayed with flowers, the more she enjoyed the business. The industry is not easy to get used to, as the days start early with the flower auction in South Burnaby, where buyers from all across the region bid on products that come from near and far. It’s not unusual to see flower buyers, jumbo coffees in hand, perusing product at 4 or 5 a.m. to see exactly what they want to bid

on when the auction free-for-all begins. Karpoff has a broker who does her bidding for her - the auctions start at 6 a.m. or earlier - but she still has to do a lot of the prep work when deliveries start arriving at her door in the morning. Karpoff said her work is more of a European style, with more high-end flowers and not much filler used in her arrangements. Karpoff takes care in each of her arrangements and for wedding consultations, she’ll sit down with the client and work with them to figure out the most appropriate arrangements within all budget

ranges. She said getting the freshest local products is important, as is getting product that other stores don’t get. “I get fresh orchids flown in,” said Karpoff. “They really are a beautiful flower.” To get a little more publicity in the neighbourhood, Karpoff has put together weekly arrangements that are on display at some of the neighbouring shops. So that means if you’re in for a coffee at Caffe Artigiano or in for a gourmet meal at the Pear Tree and see a beautiful flower arrangement, Continued on page 17

Finding love in the Heights Sajeda Virji The Heights Contributor

... Continued from page 16 that’s Karpoff’s handiwork and you can get your own by going to her floral studio. By getting her store up and running, Karpoff is ideally situated for what florists call the Big Three of upcoming events. Starting with Valentine’s Day, the biggest days of the year also include Easter and Mother’s Day. “Those are the busiest days, no doubt about it,” said Karpoff. “And once you get through those, you’re right into wedding season.”

It’s that time of the year again, when stores are filled with red roses, lovey-dovey cards, and heart shaped chocolate boxes. Beneath the sweet treats and flowers lies the fundamental reason for the dedicated day of love – a time to appreciate that special someone who means the world to you. Here are a few ways you can celebrate with your beloved on the Heights. Leave the kids at home with the sitter, and in indulge in a date night! With a wide variety of restaurants on the Heights, there’s something for everyone. Then, once you’ve finished off your dessert, head to Dolphin Cinemas (4555 Hastings St.) to catch the latest release.

Plus, with three fitness facilities on the Heights, including Eileen Dailly Leisure Pool & Fitness Centre (240 Willingdon Ave.), you can afford to indulge in those boxed chocolates you receive.

How to prepare for a visit to the doctor PARENTING TODAY

Kathy Lynn

t’s time to take your preschooler to the doctor. It may be for a checkup, to handle some medical problem such as a pesky rash or sore throat or it may be time for a vaccination. Although they have likely had a number of visits to the doctor when they were babies, they probably don’t remember them, so this may be the first time they’re truly aware of where they’re going. And they’re wondering what is going to happen. Buy or borrow a child’s doctor kit so that they can become familiar with some of the instruments the doctor may use. Let them play with the kit using a doll or stuffed toy as the patient. While they play, you can explain to them what each instrument is for, how the doctor uses it and why. If you haven’t time for that, go online and find pictures to show them. Kids are naturally curi-

ous and they will love to learn all about his or her doctor visit and how the doctor can find out all kinds of neat things. Go to the library and take a look at some books about visits to the doctor. If they’re also curious about how bodies work, find some books to answer his questions. Librarians are marvelous sources of information so simply ask them to help you find the books that will work for your child. If you are matter-of-fact about a trip to the doctor your child will likely have the same response. For example, if your child is going to get a shot, be honest with them. Tell them that the doctor or nurse is going to be giving them a needle. Explain the process and be honest. Tell them

that it will pinch and that their arms might be a bit sore or itchy afterwards. But assure them that you know he can handle it. It would be nice to believe that you will be able to book an appointment that doesn’t interfere with meal or naptimes, but let’s face it, that’s not going to happen. So how do you cope? On top of that, there will be waits in both the waiting room and again in the examination room. So come prepared. Before you leave the house, phone and ask how the day is going at the doctor’s office. If they tell you the doctor is running 30 minutes late, suggest to them that you will arrive later. If at all possible, make sure your child has some exercise before you arrive.

Stop at a park on the way to your appointment to let them run off some of this energy. That way they can handle the wait to see the doctor. Bring food if your appointment is going to interfere with a meal or snack time. Actually, bring food no matter when you need to be there. There is nothing like a snack to tone down the behaviour of an antsy child. Also bring toys or books to entertain them while you wait. Even if you know

there are toys at the office, it could be that other kids got there first, and there’s nothing to play with or nothing that interests them. It’s always better to have more than you need. If they’re at all concerned or tend to be nervous with new people, bring their favourite lovey so they have something to soothe them and hold them as much as possible during the exam. With a little planning, a trip to the doctor can be simple and fun.

Roadshow is in New Westminster Starting January 31st!

By: Terry Inkler

After a very successful show in Port Coquitlam and Delta, The Roadshow is now here in New Westminster, BC. So you had better search through your attics and garages, go through your lock boxes and jewellery, because you may be sitting on a small fortune and not even know it! Roadshow experts are here to examine all your antiques, collectibles, gold and silver.

wear anyways. Expert Elijah Gold explains, “We have noticed a substantial increase in the amount of precious metals such as gold and silver coming to the Roadshow, which makes sense considering how high it’s currently trading at. He added, “The Roadshow is great because it puts money in people’s pockets, especially during such hard times. Lots of items that are just sitting around collecting dust in basements and jewellery boxes can be exchanged for money, on the spot!”

During a show near Toronto, a woman came in with a jewellery box that she had just inherited from her late aunt. “I don’t wear jewellery,” explained Barbara Engles, “so it was an easy decision to come down to the Roadshow to sell it”. She was very excited when she was able to walk away with a cheque for over $2,100 for jewellery she was never going to

At another Roadshow event, a woman, named Mira Kovalchek, walked in with a tin full of hundreds of old coins that were given to her as a young child by her grandfather. She ﬁnally decided to come in to the Roadshow and see what he had given her. She was ecstatic to learn she had coins dating back to the late 1800’s, some of which were extremely rare. Roadshow consultant Perry Bruce

Local Roadshow Expert Examines Some Gold Jewellery

explains “We had uncovered an 1871 Queen Victoria 50 Cent piece, valued at over $2,000!! She had a nice assortment of coins that were not rare dates, but she was able to sell them for their silver content”. She explains, “I never would have thought that my old tin of coins was worth so much! I can ﬁnally afford to renovate my kitchen”. Perry Bruce

continued, “Canadian coins prior to 1967, and American coins prior to 1964 are all made with silver, and we have noticed a large increase of customers coming to the Roadshow with coins and cashing them in for their silver value”.

Experts at the Roadshow will evaluate and examine your items, FREE OF CHARGE, as well as educate you on them. The Roadshow sees hundreds of people during a one week event, and they have been travelling across Canada to different cities and towns, searching for your forgotten treasures. Trains, dolls, toys, old advertising signs, pocket watches, porcelain and bisque dolls, pretty much everything can be sold at the Roadshow. Any early edition Barbie’s are sought after by the Roadshow collectors, as well as a variety of Dinky Toys and Matchbox cars. Lionel Trains and a variety of tin toys can also fetch a

price, especially if they are in their original box or in mint condition. If a collector is looking for one of your collectibles, they often make offers to buy them.

A man brought in a 1950’s Marx Tin Toy Robot, in fairly good condition, still in its original box. We were able to locate a collector for that speciﬁc toy within minutes, and that gentleman went home with over $700 for his Toy Robot and a few other small toys. So whether you have an old toy car, a broken gold chain, or a Barbie sitting in the closet, bring it down to the Roadshow, we will take a look at it for FREE and it could put money in your pocket!

See you at the Roadshow!

Burnaby turning ice dance central Tom Berridge

sports editor

When Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers first starred in the 1937 musical Shall We Dance, who could have forseen what impact those three little words would have in the world of sport and entertainment. Shall We Dance has since been used as the title for a 1996 Japanese film about ballroom dancing. Decades before it coined a popular song by the award-winning team of Richard Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein II from the musical The King and I, and most recently is the name of a current reality TV series in the Philippines. Now in Burnaby, it is arguably the best way to describe the growing success of ice dance teams in the city at the 8Rinks Centre of Excellence. Two Burnaby skaters, Nicole Orford and Zhao Kai Pang, won separate Skate Canada national ice dance titles as part of a growing number of successful pairings under former Olympians turned coaches Aaron Lowe and Megan Wing. Orford, an 18-year-old Moscrop Secondary grad, won the junior ice dance title with new partner Thomas Williams at the junior nationals in Victoria last week. Pang, along with longtime partner Madeline Edwards, shared a third national title together with a record-breaking novice ice dance score. The two successful pairings are not alone. Orford and Williams were pushed by training mates Larissa Van As and Troy Shindle of Burnaby, who placed eighth at the recent junior nationals. Pang, who is a current Grade 11 student at Moscrop, and Edwards had even more company at the top of the novice division. Runners-up Noa Bruser and Timothy Lum of Burnaby also train under Lowe and Wing, as do Shane Firus and Burnaby’s Caelen Dalmer. Lowe and Wing also coach Tarrah Harvey and Keith Gagnon, who finished fifth at this year’s senior nationals. Together the up-and-coming

Three-time champs: Burnaby's Zhao Kai Pang, back, and partner Madeline Edwards won the Canadian novice dance title. teams make a formidable argument for calling Burnaby the centre for ice dance on the West Coast. “Sure, we’d like to think that we are a strong centre for ice dance. We just have to keep producing,” said Lowe. A common thread that seems to tie all the skaters together is

10-time Canadian championship medallists Lowe and Wing. Lowe believes that a measure of the ice dance teams’ success comes from being able to communicate just “what it takes to get to the top.” The other half comes from B.C. Centre of Excellence skating director Joanne McLeod, who

helps with ice times and creating schedules that work for everyone, added Lowe. What results is a lot of give and take from both sides. “Just working together with the parents and skaters is instrumental in part to their success,” Lowe said. Orford wanted to remain in junior another year when her former partner aged up to senior last season. The match with Williams has worked well for both skaters, who have now won two Canadian dance titles and placed third in a junior Grand Prix assignment in England in four short months. “I guess winning (a national junior title) reinforces the belief that we’re capable of it. We just want more and to compete for it,” Orford said. “Next year when we’re seniors, we have so much work to cover to get there. We’re hoping to improve next year as well. We want to get our senior careers off on a good note.” Lowe also likes the initial pairing. “They both want it,” he said. “They both have a strong work ethic, they’re both very stylish and she’s very expressive. And they’re both super strong skaters with amazing speed, as well as great qualities and strengths as a team.” The dance duo will get an opportunity to test themselves on the world stage next month when they skate at the junior world championships from Feb. 28 to March 6 in South Korea. Pang and Edwards also have some work cut out for themselves when they step up to junior, despite setting a Canadian novice dance record with their winning 96.75-point score at the recent nationals. “We’re going to have to work on pushing on (getting faster) and obviously improving our technique and presence on the ice,” Pang said. The former juvenile and prenovice national champions will also be looking to earn an international assignment when they take the step up. Skating Page 24

Junior named conference track athlete of the week Tom Berridge

sports editor

Helen Crofts' new conference record in the 800 metres gained her a Great Northwest Athletic Conference female athlete of the week honour. Crofts recorded the fourth-fastest time in the 800m, placing third in her heat with a confer-

ence record-setting 2:06.65 time at the University of Washington invitational indoor track meet in Seattle on Saturday. The Simon Fraser University junior also won her section in the mile run, posting the sixth fastest time in conference history with a 4:54.77 clocking. Crofts also shared a fifth-place finish in the

distance relay with Olivia Brennan, Brianna Kane and Abbey Vogt of Burnaby. A total of 24 performances, including 13 women athletes, ranked on the GNAC top 10 all-time list over the weekend. The Clan team of Michaela Kane, Jessica Smith,LindseyButterworth and Emma Vogt won the 4x800m relay in a com-

bined time of 9:11.09. Andrew Boss ran a 22.04 time in the 200m, while also winning his section of the 400m, with a 49.32 clocking. Boss' times were both all-time top 10 conference times. Freshman Travis Vugteveen recorded SFU’s top time of 1:52.98 in the 800m to place sixth overall. His time was the fifth-best

in GNAC history. Ryan Brockerville posted a time of 4:17.81 in the mile. Andrea Abrahams qualified for the NAIA indoor nationals in the 60m hurdles. Rachelle Barnett also qualified for the nationals in the pentathlon. Sviatoslav Moldanov recorded a leap of 13.90m in the triple jump.

Juniors name head coach Tom Berridge

sports editor

Former Burnaby Laker sniper John Wilson was named the junior A Lakers new head lacrosse coach Saturday. Wilson, the 1990 Western Lacrosse Association rookie of the year, will coach alongside new assistant Stu Watson. "I'm very excited. It was a call out of the blue," said Wilson, who was an assistant with the senior Thunder in Langley two seasons ago. Wilson, a three-time junior all-star with New Westminster, scored 186 goals and 423 points in 105 games in his junior A career. Wilson also spent 15 seasons in the WLA with both Burnaby and Coquitlam, where he earned a second Mann Cup ring with the Adanacs in 2001. During his playing days, Wilson tallied 388 goals in league and playoffs and amassed just eight points shy of 1,000 in his career. "We're looking for athleticism, fitness and discipline, and solid team defence," said Wilson. "We just have to get everyone buying into the system." Wilson hopes to rekindle the pride in the junior Lakers that brought five Minto Cups to the city, including an unprecedented 12 straight appearances in the Canadian junior A championships. "We want to get the franchise back to that level," said Wilson, who hopes to meet with returning players this week to discuss the coming season. "We want to reconfirm with the kids it's going to be a fresh start for everybody," Wilson said. Wilson admits he has had his share of ups and downs, but maintains it will help him and the club get back to the top level. "I've been at the top and I've been at the bottom. It's better to be at the top, but it's a lot harder to get there," he said. "It's all about bringing in the right personnel."

CLAN BASKETBALL

Modest win streak snapped Spring has blossomed early for Simon Fraser University freshman guard Kia Van Laare. The New Westminster Secondary grad led the varsity women’s basketball team in scoring for a second straight game, netting 20 points in the Clan’s 74-63 win over the Central Washington Wildcats at home on Jan. 27. Van Laare shot five-for-seven from beyond the arc, while Nayo RaincockEkunwe added 19 points and 17 rebounds to help pace SFU to its second straight win in the NCAA Great Northwest conference. “We started the season as a very young team, it’s really been a learning process building on team play and focusing on improving our rebounding,” said Van Laare in an SFU media release. “Things have really been coming together for us. We’ve really been playing as a team and gaining momentum and confidence.” On Saturday, SFU led Northwest Nazarene by as many as 15 points, but eventually fell 78-70 to the Crusaders at home. The loss snapped the Clan’s two-game win streak. “We let them get back into the game after having a good start. We had a limited amount of players for tonight as well, and showed our youthfulness towards the end of the game,” said SFU head coach Bruce Langford in the release. Raincock-Ekunwe scored a game-high 27 points for the Clan.

The Clan bounced out to a 21-6 lead early in the contest, but the Crusaders roared back to keep the contest close after that. Northwest Nazarene led 40-36 at halftime. In the second half, Van Laare gave SFU a brief lead at 56-55 with a clutch threepointer. After a seven-point Crusader run, Raincock-Ekunwe helped shave the deficit to just three points with a three-point play later in the game. SFU played with just seven players, with freshman Chelsea Reist out with a concussion.

Second half not enough

The SFU men’s team put together a strong second half but still lost 8682 to Western Washington University on Saturday. Trailing 48-39 at halftime, SFU opened the second half on a 12-3 run and took a brief lead at one point in the period before losing its ninth conference match at the free-throw line. Ricky Berry scored a game-high 28 points for the Clan, while Justin Brown added 27 points and seven rebounds. Berry tied the game 51-51 early in the period. He then gave the home team a brief lead on a layup. But the Vikings retook the lead with less than three minutes to play, snapping their three-game losing streak. The Clan men host St. Martin’s University on Thursday. Game time is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Skating: Dance teams train together continued from page 23

But first up will be representing B.C. at the Canada Winter Games in Halifax next month. “They’ve grown together physically and mentally. They’re friends both on and off the ice, and it just shows,” added Lowe. The championship aura that permeates the centre, augers well for the future of dance teams in Burnaby, who often train together in a group setting. “We sort of push each other and see what the others are doing and make improvements,” Pang added. “We motivate each other to keep pushing.” And that just might be the design of the Lowe/ Wing approach to coaching. Together Lowe and Wing pushed for 11 years to get to five world championships. It’s not a stretch to think that in another 11 years, a Burnaby skater might also reach that lofty goal.

The facility introduced several innovative techniques in British Columbia and it was the ﬁrst in the province to offer ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy and ambulatory phlebectomy several years ago.

The procedure eliminates the source of some types of varicose veins by using laser energy to seal shut the saphenous vein from the inside. Unlike stripping, it can be done in the ofﬁce with only local anaesthesia. There are no incisions and no downtime is involved as patients can walk home afterwards and continue with their routine daily activities.

• Vein mapping with duplex and color doppler ultrasound detects all diseased vein segments. • EVLT or endovenous laser treatment. Ultrasound guided laser closure of the saphenous vein. A minimally invasive alternative to stripping with no downtime. • Ultrasound-guided (foam) sclerotherapy for treatment of veins right up to their source. • Ambulatory phlebectomy or microincision vein removal leaves no ugly scars. • Sclerotherapy of unsightly veins on hands, breasts and other parts of the body.

FACIAL REJUVENATION

A treatment for varicose veins that doesn’t involve stripping. The Vein and Laser Clinic was established in 1992 and since then thousands of patients, have been treated at its central Lonsdale location in North Vancouver.

ADVANCED VEIN TREATMENTS

The clinic is unique in that it makes extensive use of advanced color doppler and duplex ultrasound, to detect all the diseased vein segments and accurately pinpoint the source of the varicose veins. The technology thus enables delivery of a sclerosing solution into deeper lying vessels with precision that would be very difﬁcult to achieve with conventional techniques. All this makes the treatment safer and more effective with excellent functional and cosmetic results. The practice of medicine is changing rapidly and demands constant innovation. Keeping abreast of the latest developments, the facility in 2002, under the direction of Dr. Ferdinand Stasiak, was the ﬁrst in Canada to perform a breakthrough in the treatment of varicose veins. Called EVLT or endo-venous laser therapy, it offers a much less invasive alternative to stripping.
