Jane Shin speaks Newly elected MLA for Burnaby-Lougheed clarifies her background Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Burnaby-Lougheed’s recently elected MLA has broken her silence to set the record straight on her background.

Jane Shin, a first-time NDP candidate, secured the BurnabyLougheed seat in the provincial election, according to the preliminary results, but after the Liberal party started digging up information about her and questioning her credentials in the final weeks of the campaign, she was largely silent and unavailable to media.

“I needed some time to lick my wounds, and despite everything that was happening, I needed to stay true to the campaign efforts,” Shin told the NOW on Wednesday.

The Liberals, acting on what they called an anonymous tip, started looking into Shin’s background and began questioning her credentials as a doctor. Shin graduated from a medical school in the Caribbean, but in some cases, this information was omitted from her biography. The result was a misleading picture that suggested she graduated from UBC with a doctorate of medicine in 2007 and that she had worked as a physician.

“That’s a huge mistake. One Shin Page 5

In remembrance of lost loved ones Marelle Reid staff reporter

Ever since the first memorial bench was installed in a Burnaby park in 1992 – Burnaby’s centennial year – the tradition of honouring loved ones with a special place to sit has been popular among local families.

Last summer Carol Robillard paid for a bench to be installed in Confederation Park that bears a plaque with her mother’s name – Maisie Blackburn – who died last year at the age of 96.

Robillard said her mother wasn’t comfortable discussing

what to do with her remains after her death, but she was happy to learn about the bench.

“When we mentioned the bench, she got a smile and she said, ‘Oh, I’d like that,’” she said. “So every time I see the bench I think of mom – well, I do all the time anyway, I still really miss her because we were very close – so it just means that I did something that she really thought would be very nice.”

There are several hundred donation benches throughout city green spaces, with Central Park being the most popular location, according to Henry

deJong, park design technician for the City of Burnaby.

The donation program – Presenting Burnaby Parks – has allowed the city to recoup costs for park infrastructure while giving residents a way to honour their loved ones, he noted.

Benches start at $2,000, and are tax deductible because they’re considered gifts to the city.

They last between 15 and 20 years, and once they have worn out, the original donors have the option of renewing them.

“We’ve been tickled pink that the bench is there,” she said.

As well as memorial benches, the program also includes options to donate picnic tables and other park infrastructure.

So far this year, seven memorial benches have been donated to the city.

Mayor and MLA go head to head Stefania Seccia staff reporter

When Langley Mayor Peter Fassbender was elected as the Liberal MLA for Surrey-Fleetwood, he was quick to call out Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan as a hindrance to the province moving forward on transit issues.

On election night, Fassbender was quoted in a Langley newspaper, saying Corrigan was stalling progress because he believed the NDP would form government.

“Derek has always been down on the provincial government on every front, whether it was TransLink or policing, and he was accusing me many times of being a lap dog of the provincial government,” Fassbender told the NOW. “And (he) has said the government’s going to change, so why bother working with this government.”

Fassbender noted that in 2010, Corrigan voted against a memorandum of understanding with the province regarding working together to find funding solutions for transit projects. It was signed despite the Burnaby mayor’s stance.

“I find Derek every time I’m in a meeting with him, (he’s saying) how bad the provincial government is,” he said. “That doesn’t build (any) kind of a relationship. Whether you like the government or not … you need to work with them.”

Corrigan wholeheartedly disagreed with Fassbender’s comments.

“I know that Peter vastly overestimates my ability to influence decisions made by the mayors’ council,” Corrigan said.

He said he voted against the memorandum of understanding because he had concerns about election promises being made by former premier Gordon Campbell.

“I have worked with the Liberal government for all of the years that I’ve been mayor,” Corrigan said. “It’s been difficult, no question about that.

Whenever I’m given an opportunity to do something positive with the government – I do. It’s always Burnaby’s interest that I put first. Whatever my personal feelings are, the interests of Burnaby far outweigh (them).”

However, on election night, Corrigan told the NOW he was concerned about the Liberals, saying, “this has been the worst government – a government that has shown a tremendous tendency toward corruption.”

In response to Fassbender’s comments, Corrigan said Fassbender’s political affiliation with the Liberals proved a strain on the mayors’ council, and that affiliation was the reason he lost his seat as chair and vice-chair of the council.

Corrigan said despite Fassbender’s comments, he will work with the provincial government – no matter who is in power.

On the same note, Fassbender said he will focus on finding solutions to issues brought forward by the communities.

“I just hope everybody, and Derek – he’s an outspoken and a very passionate person in a lot of ways – will do what we all should do – and that is work together.”

Kids attack gosling at park Marelle Reid staff reporter

A two-day-old gosling suffered a broken leg after a group of young children attacked it at Barnet Marine Park in Burnaby on Monday.

Local resident Olga K., who declined to give her last name, said she was at the park with her two young children watching the geese near the water at about 6 p.m. when three children started attacking the birds.

“They were trying to throw sand on them, hit them with a stick, catch them,” she said.

The children were unsupervised at the time of the incident, she said.

“I did not expect that,” Olga said.

“I was in shock … you can expect this from children, especially at a younger age, but I was more in shock that nobody was trying to stop them.”

Later, she found the crippled chick

in a parking lot after it had been separated from its family.

She took it home to care for it overnight before taking it to the Wildlife Rescue Association of B.C. at Burnaby Lake on Tuesday morning.

The gosling was “highly stressed and thrashing in pain” when staff first examined it, according to the rescue association.

The bird is now in stable condition with its leg in a splint, thought it may still have to be euthanized, said Yolanda Brooks, communications coordinator for the WRA. “It had a small cut on the leg as well, but otherwise its body condition is good, so if we can get the leg to heal, it stands a good chance of surviving,” she said. “But it is tricky because it is growing so quickly.”

The rescue centre has a number of orphaned goslings and the injured bird will be released with the others, if it survives.

The majority of the animals at the rescue centre are injured by accident, and it is uncommon to see animals brought in after deliberate acts of cruelty, Brooks noted.

For more information or to contact the association, go to www.wildlife rescue.ca.

Aggressive coyotes The City of Burnaby is warning residents about aggressive coyotes near the CG Brown Memorial Pool and down to the lower central valley.

Either one coyote or a group of them have become more aggressive and problematic in the last several months following an incident, said Don Hunter, assistant director of the parks, recreation and cultural services department.

He could not provide specifics on the incident itself.

The city has been working with B.C. Ministry of Environment conservation officers to deal with the coyote issue, he said. The coyotes mostly live in the bushes around the fields

near the pool and down below, in the central valley.

Hunter said prevention is the key way to deal with coyotes that have become desensitized to humans.

He also strongly advised against feeding them.

“They get used to humans,” Hunter told the Burnaby NOW. “Keep your personal yard tidy, secure, cover your garbage and protect your pets.”

Keep cats indoors at night and dogs on a leash, under supervision, he added.

“If you actually come face to face with a coyote stand your ground,” Hunter said. “Don’t run. It may trigger the coyote to

chase you.”

Coyotes can be scared off by loud noises, such as yelling, or by tossing a stick at them.

Hunter said if someone comes in contact with a coyote, to report the incident to the Ministry of Environment at 1-877-9527277.

“We are not allowed to remove them,” he noted.

“We work in cooperation with (the ministry), and we have to inform them of any wildlife incidents.”

Conservation officers at the Ministry of Environment’s Surrey office were not available to comment before press deadline.

Shin: Earned MD in St. Lucia continued from page 1

thing I can clarify right from the get-go is that … I earned my MD from Spartan Health Sciences University, which is in St. Lucia in 2007, and I had done my clinical rotations in my third and fourth year at various teaching hospitals, which was Sheffield to Edinburgh and so forth,” she said. “There sort of was a translation mistake, … but that was the resumé that was submitted to the party, it’s the resumé I stand by, it was the resumé that I put in front of the voters.”

Yet the biography sent to the NOW by Shin’s campaign manager suggests she graduated from UBC and states she’s a physician.

“That was one of the things that was unfortunately misleading, and I do want to take responsibility and apologize for that.

UBC is where I went for my undergraduate studies,” she said.

Shin studied at UBC for about five years, majoring

in cell biology and genetics, but didn’t finish. When asked why she would omit Spartan Health Sciences University from her bio, Shin said not all of her educational background was listed.

“It was just one of the recommendations I was given, it had nothing to do with politics,” she said. “I always list my work experience. But again, it was an old resumé, and there have been mistakes with the bio, and with that said, I do apologize for the confusion that was caused. So that everything is clear, yes, I did attend UBC to finish my prerequisites, in cell biology and genetics, and the school from which I received my MD is Spartan.”

Shin also came under fire for using the Dr. title during her campaign. She is not a licensed doctor and never did her residency, however, as someone with an MD, she can use the title.

“Again, I acknowledge there were several misspoken points, there were

misquotes and translation errors, but I do want to take responsibility for it, and I do sincerely apologize for the confusion. But it is true that I do have a doctorate degree, and I’ve always made it very clear that I’ve found my passion in teaching,” she said.

As for election night, Shin was nowhere to be found, but she told the NOW she was knocking on doors up until 8 p.m. in the Forest Grove area.

“All these allegations really came about as relentless attacks. I didn’t see (it) coming from the B.C. Liberals. Yes, it was character assassination, and it traumatized me and my family,” she said. “It was a tough time, but I am very humbled and grateful for what our team was able to do, and all the support that we’ve got in the process.”

According to the preliminary results, Shin won by 315 votes, barely beating Liberal first-time runner Ken Kramer. Shin said she’s waiting for the final results before she sets up an MLA office.

for others. But that isn’t how it works.

Kids, especially young children, need guidance. They have to be taught not to bite or kick other children, not to torment siblings, not to lie, etc. Most importantly, they need to be taught to empathize with other people and living creatures, as this is an essential element to coexisting in a community.

Having a pet is an easy way for kids to learn empathy – caring for another’s needs and forming relationships helps with children’s emotional growth.

Even if families cannot have pets,

they can take the time to introduce children to animals. Volunteer at an animal shelter. Foster a pet. Or simply take your children to a park and sit with them while they watch the birds and squirrels.

Help them cultivate a sense of familiarity and fondness – at a respectful distance – for other creatures. It will only do them good.

And hopefully, they’ll end up in our paper because of their accomplishments – not because they were tormenting the wildlife in a local park.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR City wasting money on roadwork Dear Editor:

I have been wondering for years how the City of Burnaby’s engineering and planning department works. What I have noticed in North Burnaby is that there is a lot of money wasted.

For example, two or three years ago, Broadway was completely re-paved between Holdom and Duthie avenues. Last fall, the city dug a trench from Holdom to Duthie to replace the storm drain or sewer piping lengthwise along Broadway.

The City of Burnaby would have already known when they re-paved Broadway that this infrastructure had to be replaced. Now, we are left with a terrible patch job that jars your teeth running from

Holdom to Duthie.

I live on Hycrest Drive, and the City of Burnaby replaced the water mains three years ago. The water main was switched from the north side of the street to the south side of the street with unacceptable patch jobs done on the street in front of every house.

If you complain to the City of Burnaby, you are told that it is not in the budget to properly repair or repave the street. Our block still has the original pavement that was done in 1970. The street still has gravel at the sides of the road, ditches and no lighting, along with the badly repaired street.

We have drug deals going on in the laneway to the north of Hycrest Drive as well as on the École Laneways Page 7

The laneway to the north side of Hycrest Drive that runs parallel to the Sperling school is gravel. The city will come out and spend two or three days every year grading and dumping new gravel instead of paving.

During the spring, summer and fall months I have to keep my windows closed because of all of the dirt and dust flying every time a car drives down that lane.

Lastly, there is the laneway that runs between the south side of Hycrest Drive and the north side of Broadway.

It was also paved in 1970, and the only prep work done was to run a grader down in to grind it down to dirt and pave directly onto that. This lane has split and sunk from the middle to the north side.

My father complained about it three years before he died in 2009, and I have complained about it as well.

If we have snow, I have to deal with the cars sliding into the ditch from my driveway to the end of my property.

Guess what I am told by the City of Burnaby? “It’s not in the budget.”

Why am I paying inflated property taxes and utility taxes if the City of Burnaby is wasting tax dollars doing projects in reverse order and ignoring maintenance requests?

Lesson for non-voters Dear Editor:

My congratulations to the Liberal party, but more importantly to the Liberal voters.

Approximately 48 per cent of the voters chose not to exercise their rights as Canadian citizens.

We live in a country with democracy, in a country with freedom of choice, and that includes to vote if we wish to and not to vote if we wish not to, so what’s my point?

Now the comments start; “I knew that would happen, that’s why I didn’t go to vote,” “I’m glad I didn’t vote, it would have been waste of my time,” “my vote wouldn’t have made any difference anyway” etc.

That is disturbing in itself, but what’s more disturbing it is the fact that in the next four years we will have to put up with all the lamenting, complaints and remarks – mostly from those 48 per cent – about how this government is turning British Columbia into an undesirable place to live.

I truly hope that Christy Clark’s government, for our sake, will surprise all of us in a good way.

But if the opposite proves to be the truth?

I’m tempted to say, “we deserve it,” but I’m going to go with, “I hope from it we will learn the importance of voting.“

continued from page 6

Head, the Green party won its first ever seat in the legislature; in Delta South, Vicki Huntington was re-elected – the first independent to be so in B.C.’s history; and in Saanich North and the Islands, the NDP may very well have eked out a victory in the province’s tightest three-way race.

Of course, there were the Wednesday morning quarterbacks who tried to bend the votes of other parties so far out of shape as to claim that suchand-such a party cost such-and-such a party the election.

It may provide comfort to the defeated, but it’s an argument based more on wishful thinking than political acumen. Vote tallies can easily be moved

Voters: Turnout very low vote, the percentage choosing “anything but” grew from 5.6 per cent of the popular vote to 16.1 per cent.

But it’s not just the province-wide numbers that are telling. As the Liberals showed on election night: “it’s the ridings that count, stupid.”

Twenty-five of B.C.’s 85 ridings had a turnout of less than 50 per cent, and 19 of those were in the Lower Mainland. The award for most apathetic riding: Richmond-Centre at 38.9 per cent.

Only seven ridings saw a turnout of over 60 per cent, and of those the top three had one thing in common: races that engaged voters.

from column-to-column after the fact, voters aren’t so easily moved before the fact.

But the message for the NDP in all these numbers is ominous, and it’s not just about Adrian Dix. The NDP has been nothing if not short of leaders. In the last nine elections, no less than seven have been put to the electoral test.

It may have more to do with the brand. Something isn’t connecting with the voters that the NDP needs in order to win. And that soul-searching is going to be far harder on the party faithful than a leadership race ever will be. ◆ Dermod Travis is the executive director of IntegrityBC.

SFU chemist lands award Marelle Reid staff reporter

A chemistry professor at Simon Fraser University has been recognized for his pioneering work in health research with the Horace S. Isbell Award from the American Chemical Society.

David Vocadlo, a Burnaby resident and professor at SFU, has won numerous awards for his research, and this time is being lauded for his “excellence in and promise of continued quality of contribution to research in carbohydrate chemistry,” according to a press release from SFU. The Horace S. Isbell Award goes to scientists under the age of 44 and affirms international recognition by their peers, as well as carrying with it a $1,500 cash prize and scroll.

Vocadlo’s research is aimed at furthering our understanding of the role of carbohydrate structures in regards to health and disease.

His work has uncovered major insights into the role that complex sugar enzymes play in the development of insulin resistance and brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s.

Vocadlo is also applying the results of his research to the development of new approaches to combat antibiotic resistance mechanisms and bacterial virulence factors, as well as cancer and inflammation. mreid@buranbynow.com

Crisis line in crisis Marelle Reid staff reporter

A phone service that directs calls to crisis lines throughout the province is now facing a crisis of its own.

The service, run by the Crisis Line Association of B.C., operates the toll-free 1-800-suicide and 310-mental health (310-6789) numbers, which will be shut down July 1, when funding runs out.

The two numbers were created in 2004 and 2008 respectively, with one-time grants and “transitional dollars” from various provincial organizations, including the Provincial Health Services Authority.

The association needs $177,800 annually to continue the service, which routes calls to the province’s 14 individual crisis

lines.

Having a provincewide number for either suicide intervention, or mental health crises, is important, said Jackie Yurick, spokesperson for the Crisis Line Association of B.C., because the numbers are easy to remember and because they give callers more chances to have their calls routed to a counsellor on one of the regional crisis lines, rather than getting a voice message.

Since the two network numbers were launched, they’ve handled 50,000 calls, and B.C. crisis lines field one call every threeand-a-half minutes, according to the association.

During times when demand for service is high, the service automatically re-routes calls to other crisis lines to increase response time.

Local guitar maker builds unique instruments Tom Wray has been custommaking guitars for more than 30 years and found a niche building instruments for musicians with special needs Marelle Reid staff reporter

Tom Wray is an expert when it comes to wood.

The local entrepreneur started his career in the woodworking industry in 1984 with his own company, Acorn Wood Designs, helped launch the Centre for Advanced Wood Processing at the University of British Columbia in the mid-90s and has been custom-making guitars for about 30 years.

The collection of wood in his basement workshop is neatly stacked in piles of planks, collected and gathered from around the world – Indian rosewood, German spruce, African mahogany.

It will all be shaped and moulded, varnished and shipped back out into the world again, transformed into something not just beautiful to look at, but beautiful to hear.

And it takes time.

The average guitar takes Wray three months of full-time work to complete, and most take longer than that.

“You have to be really pernickity,” he says. “If the idea is to get the best sound out of the guitar, you can’t rush it.”

Wray guitars start at $3,500, but the average goes for $5,000, and Wray’s latest project went for $11,000.

Whatever he earns from his handiwork, though, Wray says he does it more for the pleasure of crafting the instrument he knows will come to life in the hands of a talented musician.

“What I love the most is when somebody orders a guitar, they wait for months to get the guitar, and then they come down here and I put it in their hands and then I watch them play the guitar for the first time,” he says. “That’s where the big satisfaction comes from.”

All told, he has created between 40 and 50 guitars from scratch. In recent years, he’s discovered a niche building custom models for people with special require-

ments due to physical limitations or special needs. His current client has particularly large hands, so Wray is making his guitar with an extra-wide neck.

“I’m getting more known for being able to help people with physical problems,” he says.

Another customer asked Wray to make a guitar for him with a smaller neck to take the strain off his severely arthritic fingers.

Wray estimates he will be able to play for an extra five years because of the specially tailored instrument.

There are many ways he tweaks his designs to improve the sound and form, but Wray’s signature modification is the

rounded top where the musician’s right arm sits over the body of the guitar. Rather than the awkward feeling of the 90 degree angle, Wray discovered a more ergonomic shape that has no effect on the sound quality but greatly improves the comfort of playing the instrument.

“I developed that for a guy in Ontario,” says Wray. “He plays music and teaches, and he was developing shoulder and elbow problems.”

Most of Wray’s sales come through word of mouth. He also brings a handful of his instruments to summer music festivals. In August, he’ll have a booth set up, as he does each year, at the Burnaby Blues

and Roots Festival at Deer Lake Park.

The purpose is more for marketing than direct sales, though there has been a time or two that a musician has sat down to play and struggled to put down the guitar that felt like it was made just for him or her. A jazz musician from New York once discovered Wray’s guitars at a festival and cut a cheque on the spot.

Though he’s built guitars for some professional musicians, Wray says it’s all about being able to improve the experience for any guitarist, whatever his or her level of skill.

“To me, that’s great,” he says. “I love to be able to help somebody play better.”

“Singing the world’s great poetry with intense music helps us sense deep commonalities while discovering our unique ways of experiencing our world. Our annual Songfire Festival brings

together art song performers, scholars, and enthusiasts from all over the world to unite in a grand celebration of this powerful and timeless art form.”

Driedger-Klassen will perform several times during the festival, which runs May 26 through June 30 at the University of British Columbia and Robyn Driedgervarious other venues Klassen around Vancouver.

Soprano Driedger-Klassen

has performed with companies internationally and throughout the Pacific Northwest, including Seattle Opera, Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, Vancouver Bach Choir and Vancouver Opera.

Her past roles have spanned from Baroque to contemporary music.

Her performances have included Mozart’s Requiem, Handel’s Messiah and Beethoven’s

Ninth Symphony.

She has also been an active member of the Vancouver International Song Institute for many years as a performer, teacher and organizer.

Driedger-Klassen will perform at the Songfire Festival on June 6, 8, 18, and 21. Tickets range from free to $45, depending on the event, and can be purchased at www.ticketmas ter.ca or www.brownpapertick ets.com. For more information on the festival, visit www.songfire. ca.

Fun fairs this weekend T

HEALTHWISE Dr. Davidicus Wong

What is it, really?

O

ver the past few years, I’ve heard many of my patients say, “It is what it is.”

At first, only those over 30 would repeat this phrase, but more recently, younger adults have picked it up.

For most, it is not an expression of resignation and surrender. Rather, it is an acceptance of reality – the facts of the present, current circumstances or a phase of life.

“It is what it is,” reminds me of a much older quote, “I am what I am.”

It was first attributed to God – before he was labeled and gender-fied by us – in Exodus. It is a part of the collective unconscious of those who grew up in the 20th century, with some thanks to Popeye the sailor man, though comic artists would write it as, “I yam what I yam.”

Although, what Popeye meant is subject to philosophical debate, I recognize in it grounded selfacceptance and authenticity.

We can spend our attention and energy on things we cannot change – where we came from, bad luck, the past and personal characteristics that are beyond our control – age, ethnicity, body type and height.

Hanging out at the gym KEEPING FIT Shaun Karp

H

ave you noticed more exercisers just “hanging around” the gym lately?

They might have been utilizing one of the great fitness innovations of the past ten years: TRX cables!

Very much a back-tobasics approach, TRX is primarily a strengthening tool and relies on the user’s own bodyweight to provide resistance.

But TRX cables can also be used to train balance, endurance, and muscular coordination.

Also called suspension training, TRX was introduced to the public in 2005 by ex-Navy Seal and Stanford MBA graduate, Randy Hetrick who often

used salvaged parachute cables to help keep his muscles fit and responsive in remote safe houses.

The TRX system boils down to two straps attached at a single overhead point. The straps are adjustable in length and feature small handles for grip and balance.

TRX training is also relatively safe compared to many other forms of resistance training. When properly implemented, TRX programs can be very easy on the joints.

Here are a couple of exercises to help get you started with TRX cables.

Suspended push-up Stand feet together with one TRX handle in each hand. Lean forward to about a 45-degree angle keeping your back straight and assuming the start position for a regular push-up. Now, perform a push-up that lowers your body beyond 45 degrees

before returning again.

Perform up to twelve repetitions, if possible.

Lateral Split Squat First adjust the TRX cables so they nearly touch the floor and place a foot through one TRX handle.

Now, keeping constant pressure on the cable by extending that leg to one side, slowly lower yourself on your standing leg until it approaches a 90-degree angle and return again to the start. Perform eight to twelve repetitions and repeat on the other side.

This requires a combination of strength and balance so start slowly and progress at your own pace.

Interested in beginning a TRX routine? Consider booking an educational session with a personal trainer who is already enthusiastic about suspension training.

Offer extended through to

May 31st, 2013!

resentment, but this accomplishes nothing good.

A necessary step towards personal peace is acceptance of the things we cannot change.

The flip side of this is acceptance with appreciation – being thankful for the good we have received and the positive aspects of the present moment. It comes with the recognition that we live in a changing world and we ourselves are changing.

Some call it aging, others growth.

Acceptance of others – particularly those with whom we live and work – is a key to healthy relationships and personal happiness. In my children, in whom my wife and I have worked to instill the values we share, we must accept their unique personalities. Each of us has our unique challenges and strengths. Each of us is fallible and human.

Compassion allows us to accept and forgive others – and ourselves – for being imperfect and making mistakes.

Appreciation allows us to recognize the good – and love enables us to see the beautiful – in one another.

The acceptance of the imperfection in our selves and our world is the starting point of Reinhold Niebuhr’s Serenity Prayer that has been adopted by Alcoholics Anonymous and other twelvestep programs.

“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

It points to the next step, the acceptance of our own responsibility to change for the better that which we can. Hidden in the reality of the present is your potential. Recognize this and be empowered.

You may not like your body type, but you can improve your level of fitness.

You may have medical issues, but you can make positive changes to take control of your health. You may hate your job, but it can be the stepping stone to more meaningful work. You may not be able to change the people in your life, but you can improve your relationships.

The world is constantly changing and so are we. Let’s empower ourselves to be agents of positive change.

How to get rid of old motor oil and hazardous waste safely CLICK & CLACK TALK CARS Ray & Tom Magliozzi

Dear Tom and Ray: Back in the ’80s, when there wasn’t anywhere he knew of to take used oil for recycling, my dad started pouring it into a 55-gallon drum in the garage. Not just oil, but anything sort of like it: transmission fluid, brake

fluid, you name it. That drum filled up long ago, and it’s still there! Other than leaving it in place for eternity, what’s the best thing to do with it?

– Dottie TOM: Wow. Your dad left you a 55-gallon drum

of waste oil. I’m going tell my ex-wife never to complain again about that lousy, chipped tea set her mother left her.

RAY: Do you live anywhere near that big nuclear waste facility in the Rocky Mountains, Dottie?

TOM: Actually, it shouldn’t be very hard to dispose of. But it’s not easy, either.

RAY: Most states have strict regulations about how you can transport and dispose of waste oil. And they’ll only license certain

MICHELIN SPRING TIRE SALE

companies, that meet the qualifications, to handle waste oil properly.

TOM: “Properly” means, first, not spilling it, because a single gallon of spilled oil can contaminate a lot of ground water.

RAY: And here’s the other bad news: You can’t just lie about it and say there’s no brake fluid in there.

Licensed carriers will test a sample on the spot, to figure out if they have to treat it as waste oil or hazardous waste. If it’s hazardous waste, you are probably looking at more like $300 to $500 to have it taken away.

TOM: But you really should get it done, Dottie.

And the sooner, the better.

Because if that barrel ever rusts out and starts to leak, then you’ve got your own little EPA superfund site, and the costs of clean-

RAY: Start by going to the website of whatever department in your state deals with environmental protection.

Or call. If you’re prohibited from transporting it yourself, they should be able to give you a list of companies that are licensed to cart away waste oil and hazardous waste.

TOM: Call a few of them and shop around for a good price. Let them know over the phone that there may be brake fluid in the oil so you can get an accurate price quote.

RAY: Then bite the bullet and get rid of the stuff.

HOW IT WORKS

WHO CAN BENEFIT?

Low Intensity Laser Therapy (LILT) is a highly sophisticated, nontoxic and non-invasive therapy that uses light energy from both superluminous and laser diodes.

When placed in contact with the skin, this energy safely penetrates the tissue. At an intracellular level, the light is transformed into biochemical energy. Cells use this energy to repair and regenerate themselves, enhancing the body’s natural healing process.

BioFlex Low Intensity Laser Therapy is an effective solution for musculoskeletal injuries, chronic and degenerative conditions, dermatological problems and the healing of open wounds. BioFlex therapy can safely increase the rate of recovery and help patients reduce the need for pain medication. BioFlex also has the ability to promote rapid recovery post surgery. The beneficial effects of LILT are cumulative over the course of a series of treatments.

Keeping the motorsports drive alive Tom Berridge sports editor

Burnaby’s Dino Milacic is hoping to celebrate his 40th birthday with his first race win of the season in June.

The manager of the Metrotown branch of Mark’s Auto Body was the Confederation of Autosports Car Club’s IP1 series champion last year.

Milacic, who teams with colleague David Dalmonte, the 2012 GTM champion as MioDino Racing, has five races left from a six-race season to achieve his goal of a back-to-back championships in the improved production class series at the River’s Edge road course at Mission Raceway.

“I’m already behind the 8-ball,” Milacic said. “The only way I can win is to place first in every single race from here on.”

The feat is not impossible, however. Milacic loves the BMW 330i he drives for its quickness and reliability.

“It’s a pretty bulletproof vehicle,” he adds.

Milacic always dreamed of being a race car driver, and although his dreams were muted somewhat when the Westwood track in Coquitlam closed, he never lost his passion for motorsports.

It rekindled in 1997 with his first driver training experience, and was

Reliable wheels: Burnaby’s Dino Milacic is behind the wheel of MioDino Racing’s BMW 330i for another season of car racing at Mission Raceway. fueled outright when he drove in an invitational sedan race at the Molson Indy in 2002.

Milacic longs for those days again and believes that better days are ahead for local motorsports.

“I’m not giving up pro-

moting motorsports,” he said.

Money has always been a limiting factor to how successful a would-be racer can be in the world of motorsports.

But Milacic maintains there are plenty of realistic

options at the local and regional levels that can give drivers all the thrills of the big-name events.

The Sports Care Club of British Columbia sponsors a varied race schedule involving two dozen race classes at Mission Raceway

each year.

The key is a responsible budget that fits a driver’s ability to support his passion for the track.

“It’s a competitive environment and I love it, but I think I have a world-class skill set,” Milacic said.

Track star named region athlete of the year Simon Fraser University middle distance runner Helen Crofts was named the West region female track athlete of the year by the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.

The Clan senior is currently the Division II leader at 800 metres heading into this weekend’s NCAA Div. II outdoor championships.

Crofts recorded a time of 2:04.53 in the metric half mile to lead all competitors by more than three seconds.

Her time is also the sixth-ranked time in the

event in Div. II history.

In addition, Crofts is ranked seventh in the 1500m with a time of 4:26.85 and 10th in the 400m with a 54.46 clocking.

Crofts recently won the Great Northwest conference championship in both events, and is also a member of the Clan’s eighthseeded 4×400m relay team.

The Clan are in Pueblo, Colorado this week for the NCAA Div. II outdoor track and field championships, which began Wednesday.

Last Friday, Crofts was one of six SFU athletes named to the U.S. coaches

association all-region team.

Crofts earned the recognition for top five finishes in four separate events this season.

She was joined by running mates Lindsey Butterworth and Sarah Sawatzky.

Chantel Desch and Michaela Kane earned allregion nods as members of the Clan 4x400m relay team, while field athlete Jade Richardson was also named to the team after a Great Northwest title in the women’s discus.

A combined New Westminster/Burnaby girls’ team won the provincial zone u-15 basketball title at the Langley Events Centre on Sunday.

The BurWest team was made up of seven New Westminster players – Nina Lalic, Katie Bruyneel, Emma Forgie, Tea Canton, Madisen Obrovac, Justice Steer and Zoe Roberts, – Nikko Sahagun, Nadine Stewart, Gabrielle Laguerta and Zion Corrales Nelson from St. Thomas More Collegiate and Jacey Bailey, who played up on Burnaby Mountain’s senior team last season, rounded out the district dozen.

BNW defeated South Okanagan 42-32 in the championship final.

Last year, BurWest lost to Fraser Valley in the event final.

“We had a nice mix,” said BNW coach Doug Woodward. “We went on a 14-2 run at the end of the game. It was everybody, everybody was making something happen.”

The local district side needed all 10 players in its final-four matchup before eking its way into the firstplace final with a 37-35 win over South Vancouver Island in the semifinals.

In the quarter-finals, BNW defeated Richmond/ Delta by a 52-42 scoreline.

BurWest opened with a 34-11 victory over Surrey/ Langley.

The u-15 boys’ competition was run in conjunction with the girls’ tournament.

The u-14 Basketball B.C. provincial zone championships will be happening this week also at the Langley Events Centre.

A combined Burnaby/ New Westminster zone girls’ team will take on 16 teams from across the province in the May 24 to 25 event.

JUNIOR GIRLS SOCCER

Alpha pipped by Seycove in V&D high school final Tom Berridge sports editor

The Alpha Aztecs gave it their best in the Vancouver & District high school junior girls’ soccer final.

The Aztecs dropped a 2-1 decision to North Vancouver’s Seycove Secondary in the championship final at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex-West on Tuesday.

“We just couldn’t get going until the second half,” said first-year Aztec coach Nikesh Mehta.

Trailing 2-0 after a pair of first-half counters by Seycove, Alpha staged a comeback and were finally rewarded when Cali Colangeli scored to pare the deficit in half.

In the first half, Alpha keeper Nicki Gerbrandt stopped a penalty shot, but the ensuing rebound fell to the Seycove shooter who put it in the back of the net for the game’s opening goal.

The loss was the first this season for Alpha, which carried a huge roster of 29 players.

Meet records fall for Burnaby swimmers at 39th Hyack meet Stefan Milosevic led a Hyack Swim Club wave of record-setting efforts at the 39th annual Hyack Festival Youth Cup last weekend.

The 17-year-old Cariboo Hill Secondary student won five age-group swims, setting new pool marks in each of the disciplines for the fourth-place-finishing club at the Canada Games Pool in New Westminster.

Milosevic took the gold medal in the boys’ 50-, 100- and 1,500-metre freestyle swims. He also won the 200m backstroke and butterfly. The Hyack club product also placed runner-up in the 200m individual medley.

Milosevic’s metric mile swim was voted the top swim of the meet.

The Hyacks also got record swims from two other club members.

Chris Baker set new marks in the 14-year-old boys’ 100 and 200m fly.

Twelve-year-old upand-comer, Ethan Laing, also set an age-group mark in the 200m breaststroke.

He placed second in both the 200 and 400m IM. In all, 32 meet records were bettered at the annual Hyack meet.

“That’s pretty significant,” said Hyack swim coach Mark Bottrill.

“They’re future Olympic hopefuls doing this outstanding stuff. It’s pretty exciting to see them dig in and perform.”

Hyack swimmers also set new club records at the meet in relays.

The 10-and-under girls’ team of Zoe Froh, Victoria Tocheva, Jaime Lavoie and Allison Wong swam into the record book in the free relay.

Brian Ni, Dima Lin, Sehajvir Singh and Laing also set a new club mark in the 12-and-under free team event.

Ni also medalled in six other individual events, winning gold in both the 100 and 1,500m free. He placed second in the 50m free, 200m free and 200m back, while taking third in the 200m IM. Hattie Sun, 12, won bronze in 200m back, IM, and 400m IM. Lin won a bronze medal in the 100m back. tberridge@burnabynow. com

FIGURE SKATING

Baseball story correction

Burnaby skaters earn section awards Burnaby figure skaters took home two of the three youth promise awards at the recent 28th annual B.C. section awards dinner at Delta Burnaby Hotel.

Eric Liu, the novice boy’s provincial champion and national silver medalist, skated away with the male award, while also accepting the Skate Canada competitive athlete award.

Ice dancers Danielle Wu and Spencer Soo, this year’s Canadian novice champions, were the winners of the youth promise award for dance for a second consecutive year.

Megan Wing and Aaron Lowe coached six separate teams to ice dance med-

als at this year’s nationals, including a clean sweep of the novice podium led by Wu and Soo. The former Olympians also coached Burnaby’s ZhaoKai Pang and partner Madeline Edwards to gold in the junior dance at the nationals.

Rachel Pettitt of Whitehorse won the female youth promise award.

Beth Crane of the B.C. Centre of Excellence won the Skate Canada officials award of excellence.

Vanessa Hunter won the section officials award.

Sally Rehorick from the centre of excellence was the section volunteer award winner.

The Burnaby NOW had some inaccurate information in its May 10 story (Braves showing they belong with the big bats).

In fact, from 2007 to 2011 Burnaby Minor ran an under-15 AAA bantam baseball program, winning a provincial championship title in 2009 as well as earning a berth to the B.C. tournament in each of the next two seasons.

This season was the Burnaby Minor association’s return to AAA division baseball.
