Home declared unsafe Owner reportedly trapped in the home, under debris Stefania Seccia staff reporter

It isn’t the first time the Mandy Avenue home has been an issue for council, or the fire department, but now it’s officially a nuisance. Council has declared a home in the 6900-block of Mandy Avenue a nuisance. The city says it poses a “significant threat” to the safety of the property owner because of accumulated debris inside and outside the home, according to a staff report. After first rescuing the property owner in January after he was trapped under debris, the fire department was again called to the home on July 2. The owner was reportedly trapped in the home, under debris. Four units and 12 personnel responded and remained on the scene for more than an hour-and-a-half. “Similar to the original incident, the responding crews were met with a large amount of materials and debris, which complicated the rescue and raised concerns for their own safety,” said Denise Jorgenson, the City of Burnaby’s director of finance, in her report to council. At council’s Feb. 4 meeting, staff were authorized to undertake a cleanup of the property’s exterior at the owner’s expense, which cost $12,500. It took seven city staffers (labourers, foremen, property use coordinators and a carpenter) and one contract employee, an excavator and three dump trucks to complete the exterior

There’s a new place in town where young Picassos can go and let loose all of their creativity. Welcome to Kidoodles Art Studio in Metropolis! Owner/graphic designer/artist, Claudia Guerrero, encourages children to play and create art by engaging them in imaginative and unique ways. “It’s been a dream of mine for a decade to open up an art studio,” says Claudia, adding that by the time she was four, she knew art was her calling. From her native Mexico, early on she showed a natural talent for the arts and started actively pursuing her creative side in Grade 7. When her family immigrated to Canada in 1990, the budding artist enrolled in art programs at Capilano University and Emily Carr University of Art + Design. After a successful career as a graphic designer, Claudia decided it was time to realize her long-held dream. Kidoodles Art Studio was born. It’s happy, bright and colourful studio designed to allow youngsters ages 3 to 12 to explore and tap into their imagination! All of the instructors have an arts background and all have a passion for all genres of art. “I have one instructor who is a bakery chef, teaching children to make cookie decorations,” she adds. Each week, classes include exploring and making different art projects with mixed media, painting, drawing, sculpting, collage, and much more. “In September, we are starting our fall program that includes a variety of art lessons including our little architects class. The children will be designing their own home ﬂoor plans and then creating a 3D model.” She recently held her Grand Opening on June 29th. Parents with shopping to do can drop off their children for a Kidoodles Splatter Painting Session, where friendly staff will supervise the children who create a splatter work of art to take home at the end of the one-hour session. Sign up now for its popular summer day camps, where children will learn about famous Artists from around the world. Every week, children focus on a different artist and his/her country, and reproduce their own paintings in the same artist’s style and create a variety of crafts from his/hers native country. “We also take an exercise break every 45 minutes so that the kids can stretch a little,” says Claudia. The mother of two young children is dedicated to offering art materials and classes that spark childrenís interest and creativity. Visit the Arts & Crafts Shop, where you can purchase a wide range of affordable, high-quality art supplies from brand names like Crayola and Melissa and Doug. Kidoodles can also host Birthday Parties with three options to choose from: artist, splatter or fantasy theme. Kidoodles is located in Metropolis at Metrotown, 4800 Kingsway, Burnaby.

City staffer retires after 35 years in rec dept. Stefania Seccia staff reporter

When Wendy Scott first started working for the City of Burnaby, there was only one preschool program and community centre fitness class – both of which she started. That was more than 35 years ago. Now Burnaby offers about 3,500 preschool programs a year and has almost 135,000 people participating in fitness classes. Scott is retiring from her position as the assistant director of recreation for the city as of July 31 after first coming on board in 1974. “When I first started, I worked with people with physical disabilities,” Scott said. “That was my training, which had been in therapeutic recreation.” Scott went to Langara College in the recreation management program and started to work for Burnaby part-time as a preschool instructor, fitness and gymnastics instructor until 1981. “I left the city in 1981 and went into private business,” Scott said, noting she and her husband at the time opened a store in Kerrisdale that sold B.C. arts and crafts. “It was very interesting, and I really enjoyed it. But what I realized after a few years is that the bottom line is still the dollar. Even if you want to give the best customer service, you still had to think about if you give money away … it’s coming out of your salary. I realized that wasn’t as satisfying to me as recreation. The bottom line (here) isn’t just the dollar, it’s the service to the community.” When Scott returned, she worked for the arenas, then the art centre, became an area manager, and for the last 12 years she’s been assistant director. “That’s a piece about my career that I feel very fortunate about is I’ve had many different positions,” she said. “So just when things were getting a little mundane, it would be all new. “It keeps changing by the day.”

Scott, the City of Burnaby’s assistant director of recreation, is retiring after 35 years of employment. When she first started with the city in 1974, there was just one preschool program and one community fitness centre class.

Developer applies for more changes to Brentwood Stefania Seccia staff reporter

As Brentwood Town Centre’s master plan advances to the last round of approval, the mall’s owner is looking to get another rezoning application in. Shape Properties has put forward a proposal to amend a zoning bylaw to permit exterior tenant improvements and a minor retail building at 4567 Lougheed Hwy. The proposed rezoning site is at the northeast corner of Lougheed

Highway and Willingdon Avenue. At the July 18 council meeting, Lou Pelletier, director of planning and building, told council that any changes to the northeast corner would be temporary until the next phase of redevelopment, including that corner of Brentwood mall, is proposed. The rezoning application addresses minor site improvements including exterior glazing, site circulation, parking configuration and a retail building to relocate some tenants affected by

the first phase of the proposed redevelopment process. Brentwood’s proposed future development is expected to evolve over the next 20 years and is split into four phases, which will include 10 residential buildings, two office towers about 30 to 40 storeys tall, a redeveloped commercial centre, a 50,000-squarefoot grocery store and a variety of outdoor spaces. The first phase involves a massive transformation of eight acres connected to the SkyTrain at Lougheed Highway and

At the Monday night meeting, Coun. Sav Dhaliwal raised the issue of the bus loop on Willingdon Avenue, which will be removed as part of the first phase to council. A new on-street bus exchange approach in the vicinity of the SkyTrain station will replace the loop, but Dhaliwal is not conLast week’s question Do you donate to the food bank during the summer?

vinced the changes to certain bus routes are a good idea. Dhaliwal said he wants TransLink and Shape to reconsider putting any bus stops proposed for Halifax Street closer to the SkyTrain as it will pose an issue for those with disabilities or mobility issues. Mayor Derek Corrigan said TransLink is aware of council’s concerns about some of the proposed bus stops, and the application is still in its early stages. Council approved staff to work with Shape Properties on the rezoning application.

OUR VIEW

sales ban is a good place to start, simply because of the overwhelming number of homeless animals rescue groups are desperately trying to place. When you buy a pet, you are buying a living creature. It is not a toy, and as cute as that puppy in the window is, it should not be bought on impulse while shopping at the mall. We at the Burnaby NOW are tired, frankly, of writing about pet turtles, with illnesses and rotting shells, dumped in local lakes, or gerbils and

hamsters left outdoors in cages, nearly drowning in the rain, or tame abandoned pet rabbits being mauled by dogs in a local park. We would be happy to see a moratorium on pet sales until all the homeless animals are properly cared for and our collective society can demonstrate the responsibility that pet ownership entails. Until that happens, consider adopting instead of buying. There are more than enough animals that need forever homes.

Dear Editor:

Re: Pet store owners oppose ban, Burnaby NOW, July 17 Of course the owners of Pet Habitat and King Ed Pets oppose a ban, as the retail sale of pets is likely the primary source of revenue for these stores. While (Pet Habitat owner Tom) Peters argues the breeding industry should be regulated, and that should be the focus of our efforts, he fails to mention that the majority of his puppies come from the United States, therefore, Canadian breeding regulations would have no impact on him. Further, he argues that all the breeders are American Kennel Club certified and U.S Department

of Agriculture regulated. As indicated in several investigative reports (see bit.ly/19ipuPB and bit.ly/135u7Jc), neither of these designations ensure the humane treatment and strict breeding practices. This is unlike the Canadian Kennel Club, which actually prohibits its members from selling their animals through pet stores. The mere fact that these facilities have to be USDA inspected indicates that they are large scale “farm” like operations. Simply put, no reputable breeder would sell their animals through a store. They want to ensure that they are going to a proper home. It is not uncommon for these breeders to do home and

I also find it curious that he is so adamant that his puppies do not come from puppy mills, when there has been so much evidence that clearly shows the Hunte Corporation gets its puppies from mills.

Let’s ban bunny breeders

Dear Editor:

Re: Animal advocates worried about pet sales, Burnaby NOW, July 19 The unregulated and unrestricted breeding and selling of intact rabbits in pet stores and other public venues has been a long-standing issue of concern to rabbit advocates. Cute little baby bunnies are displayed in pet stores tempting the impulse buyer, usually a parent giving in to a child’s plea. Frequently, they are discarded shortly thereafter, often outdoors, where they survive long enough to reproduce and multiply in short order. This comes at great cost to society, both financially and ethically. Businesses can demonstrate social responsibility and a commitment to animal welfare by simply not selling these little beings. Last September, the Union of B.C. Municipalities passed a resolution to ban sales of unsterilized rabbits in pet stores throughout the province. Let’s hope Burnaby’s revised animal control bylaw, expected to be completed this fall, will include the same. Carmina Gooch, Burnaby

Meter reading is easy Dear Editor:

It has been recently announced that B.C. Hydro has rethought its position on forcing everyone to use the signalling option of the new meters providing that they are willing to pay an extra fee to have their meters manually read. This raises some interesting questions. My meter reader reads both the gas and electric meters on the same trip. He leans over the fence to get the gas reading then takes, say, 20 seconds to climb the stairs, 20 seconds to record the numbers, and another 20 seconds to descend to the street. One minute. The meters are read once every two months or six times per year for a total of six minutes per year. Given that my timing might be out a bit let us say twenty minutes per year at say $36 per hour in wages and benefits for the reader and B.C. Hydro is chasing $12 per year. This is ridiculous. I don’t know who actually employs the meter readers, B.C. Hydro, B.C. Gas, Fortis or whoever? The labour saving by reading one meter per home is small, but is there a grander scheme afoot? Is B.C. Gas soon going to announce that they, too, are switching to smart meters? Time will tell.

Dear Editor:

The more the Conservative government criticizes Justin Trudeau, the more popular he becomes. We wouldn’t have known that Justin is a professional public speaker. This is a kind of free promotion. Trudeau did not go with a gun to New Brunswick to deliver a speech to Grace Foundation. They invited him to lecture and paid him $20,000 for his service. The Conservative government should clear its house first before throwing mud on others. I doubt a clerk from the prime minister’s office can pay $90,172 from his own pocket! Let us see how he made the payment.

Petition campaign won’t necessarily mean a vote Cayley Dobie staff reporter

As Sensible B.C.’s petition campaign to decriminalize marijuana continues to dominate media coverage, Elections B.C. is looking to clarify a reoccurring inaccuracy. If the petition – to be released on Sept. 9 – gathers enough signatures within a 90-day time frame, it won’t necessarily result in a referendum, according to Elections B.C. “Initiative (votes) and referendums

are two very different things. Initiative petitions are legislations governed by the Recall and Initiative Act,” said Don Main, communications manager for Elections B.C. “Any registered voter can apply for an initiative petition to propose a new law or to propose changes to an existing law.” This requires the applicant, in this case Sensible B.C., to draft a bill to amend provincial legislation. Sensible B.C. submitted its application to Elections B.C., including the Sensible Policing Act, which aims to amend the current Police Act, prohibiting

Brentwood proposal includes park, school Developer wants to transform industrial area into family neighbourhood Stefania Seccia staff reporter

Another high-density development is being proposed near Brentwood Town Centre on industrial lands, which could include an elementary school and park. Concord Pacific Holdings has put forward a rezoning application to allow construction of a multi-phased highrise, mid-rise and low-rise residential development with a commercial component. The site is on 10.5 hectares (26 acres) of land south of Lougheed Highway and east of Beta Avenue. At its Monday night meeting, Burnaby council authorized staff to work with the developer on the 10 individual parcels and

areas of unopened rightof-ways. The site is currently occupied by the Dragonwood Industrial Estates. Dragonwood consists of heavy industrial buildings, a large outdoor storage yard and a used car dealership. About seven acres of the site – for the park and school – would be acquired through a mixture of density transfer and cash, to serve the southern portion of the Brentwood area. “The proposed preliminary development concept for this key site within the Brentwood Town Centre is to transform its existing industrial nature into a new signature multiple-family residential neighbourhood, with a new elementary school, a neighbourhood park, and an improved naturalized riparian corridor for Stickleback Creek, at its heart,” the city report states. “The neighbourhood park space would be

for both active and passive recreation, children’s play and environmental enhancement, and would add to the primary outdoor and indoor recreation opportunities available at the nearby Burnaby Lake Sports Complex.” Concord Pacific will have to meet certain service requirements such as finishing surrounding streets with bicycle facilities, sidewalks, trees, boulevards, and street and pedestrian lighting. Coun. Dan Johnston noted that despite the controversy with high-density developments, it’s often a good opportunity to get density bonuses, which fund great community amenities. “Density is not always a bad thing,” Johnston added. A noise study will also be completed due to the site’s close proximity to the SkyTrain line and Lougheed Highway.

Celebrate Fijian culture in heart of city Annual festival takes place July 27 at Swangard Stadium Cayley Dobie staff reporter

Burnaby may not be the tropical paradise her father remembers, but for one day each year Vincent Prakash and his daughter, Regina, transform Swangard Stadium into a hub of Fijian culture, bringing together people from all over the Lower Mainland to celebrate the Pacific island’s unique traditions. This year’s festival marks the 14th annual Fijian celebration, which began in 1999 as a small neighbourhood festival held at Surrey’s Bear Creek Park. Since then, the event has grown into an event that attracts more than 5,000 people each year to its current location at Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium. Regina Prakash, whose father, Vincent, founded the event, said the festival is all about showcasing the unique and colourful culture of Fiji. “It is a day where everyone gets together enjoying the cultural dances and entertainment. The festival begins with a yagona ceremony, which includes various dignitaries,” she said. The yagona ceremony – a traditional Fijian ceremony where dignitaries are asked to drink a special Kava drink – is central to the festival, she added, as it marks the opening of the festivities. From that point on, it’s all fun and games. From a kids zone with games and activities, to a soccer tournament for the adults, and traditional Fijian foods available for purchase, the event really is for anyone, Prakash said. There will also be vendors set up behind the stands at the stadium, selling items and clothing throughout the event. On top of the numerous vendors who

Fiji, a country made up of more than 300 islands in the Pacific Ocean, has a diverse

population including South Asians, who emigrated from neighbouring India, native Polynesians and European descendents. Prakash, whose family is of Indian descent, said that the majority of Fijians who’ve immigrated to B.C. have settled in

Surrey, while the rest are spread out across Burnaby and Vancouver. The festival is on July 27 at Swangard Stadium, at Boundary Road and Kingsway Avenue, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. For more, visit www.jaifijitv.com/services.

BROKE because her home was sprayed with oil in the 2007 Kinder Morgan pipeline rupture. After visiting Stoney Creek Community School and noticing the pipeline runs beneath the commu-

nity garden by the school, Mary became interested in pipelines and school safety and put together a Power Point presentation on the issue. Mary has been trying to share it with stakeholders,

and has shown the BCTF, which put it up on their YouTube channel as well. She’s also tried to connect with local parent advisory councils, but was told they don’t want to get too political.

The Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue Centre has rescued animals for over 50 years.

PARENTING

Julie MacLellan

onfession: I cried over a peachesand-cream muffin at Starbucks. No, it wasn’t over the quality of the muffin. It was about the fact that I was standing in Starbucks alone, and it suddenly hit me that at that moment I had no one to share my muffin with. Which wouldn’t have been such a big deal in a past life. But a couple of weeks ago, it was a shock to my system. Because, for the preceding 51 weeks, I had had a constant companion for every single Starbucks trip, grocery shopping run and mall excursion I’d taken. Yes, that constant companion was my daughter – a wee blue-eyed sprite who, since her birth in July 2012, had become such a part of me that leaving home without her felt like abandoning a limb or a vital organ. In that moment at the Starbucks counter, it hit me that our year together was over. She was in daycare, and I was about to go back to work. Paying for that muffin was a moment that, in all its ordinariness, became a symbol of everything that had changed in my life over the past year. One tiny newborn bundle became a growing infant, who would sit in the stroller and gurgle next to me as I drank my coffee. The infant got bigger and started to sit up on her own. We’d go for coffee and she’d spend time grinning and giggling and staring with big blue eyes at other customers. Then she graduated to a high chair, and she’d eat her lunch while I learned to juggle a baby spoon in one hand and a coffee cup in the other. And somehow, before I knew what had happened to the year, there she was, this “big girl” of mine, sitting up in her own chair, stuffing her tiny face with pieces of muffin while she pointed, waved and babbled to other customers. My sweet baby girl and I had done it. We’d made it through a year.

For those first eight or so hazy weeks, I’d thought that year would never end. Mothers of older babies would say, “Treasure it, it’ll go so fast,” and I’d smile and nod while thinking to myself, “Fast? FAST? Who are they kidding, how does a year of no sleep and hastily snatched meals and interrupted showers and constantly-attached-at-theboob baby go FAST?” Turns out they were right. It did. We hit our stride, the wee sprite and I, and we became such constant companions that before I knew it, I was the mama I’d seen other friends become – the one who loved her baby to distraction, who rarely left her side and who hardly spared a thought for the me I used to be. I hardly remembered how much I had mourned that me – how much, at first, I felt I had lost myself somewhere and wondered if I would ever be an independent individual again. I hadn’t exactly forgotten that me, but I hadn’t stopped to miss her much, either. So when, on that recent mid-July morning, I realized that the solitary woman ordering coffee and a peaches-and-cream muffin at Starbucks was that old me, it was surreal. And sad. And, even later, just a teeny-tiny bit happy. It’s not that I wanted

to leave my wee sprite behind. (If I were to win the lottery tomorrow, I would happily abandon a full-time outside job and stay home with her.) But stepping out of the house without her reminded me that there are other parts of me that I’ll enjoy meeting again – the singer, the writer, the reporter, the co-worker, the friend. I’ve only been back at work for two weeks, and I have missed my wee sprite to pieces every day. But I’m also happy to be back in my “old” life. To leave the house without a stroller and a diaper bag is still a little off-putting – but it’s liberating, too. To know that my wee sprite is being well cared for and enjoying a day full of fun and adventures with other little people – dare I suggest, having more fun than she’d be having at Starbucks with Mommy – makes me smile. What helps most of all is that each moment I spend with the wee sprite now feels special. I’ve traded in quantity for quality. We may be together for far fewer minutes in day. But I’m absolutely present for her when we’re together. It’s those moments that remind me that, while I wear my Julie-the-reporter hat during the day, I’ll always and forever be Mommy.

In 1960, a small northern fur seal was brought to the Vancouver Aquarium after a harrowing experience. A fisher had accidentally caught him with his rod while fishing for salmon. The tiny creature, later known as Nippy, was the Aquarium’s first rescue patient. Dedicated Aquarium staff carefully removed the fishing gear from his little body and nursed him back to health. Two years later, Aquarium staff brought an orphaned harbour seal to the facility. Buster, as he was called, was malnourished and desperately in need of a helping hand. Staff fed and treated the small pup until he was healthy and chubby.

“The work was, and still is, so intensely gratifying,” says Lindsaye Akhurst, manager of the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue Centre. “When I began working for the Aquarium, I was so thrilled to help animals every day—many of whom were in danger because of human actions. But for staff at the Aquarium, it was becoming increasingly challenging to treat sick, “Our goal is to keep injured and orphaned improving what we do, marine mammals to be actively involved without a proper in research programs, facility.” and to share what we know with as many people as possible.”

Nippy and Buster remained at the Aquarium for many years. The two even spent time together in the same habitat. During this time, the team was able to learn how to best care for and rehabilitate marine mammals.

Murray Newman, one of the founding directors of the Vancouver Aquarium, recalls the learning curve that was involved with caring for wild animals. “Baby harbour seals were brought to us occasionally in the early days, but we had great difﬁculty feeding them because we didn’t realize they could not digest cow’s milk. My wife, Kathy, helped to get them started on a liquid diet. They snapped with their sharp little teeth, and one particularly energetic little fellow left a permanent scar on her elbow.” In the years that followed, Aquarium staff cared for a number of rescued marine mammals. When there wasn’t room, staff often created make-shift habitats for the injured or sick animals that were rescued and rehabilitated at the Aquarium. Occasionally, patients with special needs were even taken home by Aquarium’s staff for extra, intensive care.

Despite not having a formal rescue centre, the team’s commitment to animal welfare was always apparent. Staff and volunteers brought animals to the Aquarium for treatment or travelled to locations where animals were stranded. No patient was too small or too big and, when tragedy struck, staff and volunteers were always ready to pitch in. In 1989, staff at the Aquarium rescued and cleaned a number of sea otters covered in oil after the Exxon Valdez disaster off

the southern coast of Alaska. In 2002, the Aquarium also played a key role in the rescue of Springer, a one-year-old killer whale who was found in Puget Sound (near Seattle), orphaned and hundreds of miles from her pod. She was rescued, restored to health, transported back to British Columbia’s Johnstone Strait, her pod’s summering grounds, and released to rejoin her family.

In 2004, the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue Centre was created. Located on land provided by the Vancouver Port Authority, the new facility gives staff and volunteers the space needed to manage their ever-increasing patient load.

The Rescue Centre is perhaps best known for rescuing harbour seal pups who garner much public attention with their cute faces and human-like cries, but over the past 50 years, the Aquarium has rescued a variety of animals. Patients at the Rescue Centre have included elephant seals, fur seals, sea otters, sea lions, and cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises) and thousands of harbour seal pups. Today, the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue Centre provides world-class veterinary care to its patients. A highlyqualiﬁed medical team performs complicated medical procedures with cutting-edge diagnostic tools.

LOCAL RESOURCE OF INFORMATION & IDEAS FOR TODAY’S BUSY FAMILIES

Preparing your child for kindergarten

Kindergarten used to be a time when kids grabbed a nap in between ﬁngerpainting and playing outside, but today’s coursework is much more rigorous and kindergarteners are now introduced to concepts that were once taught in later years of elementary school. Preparing children who have never attended school for their ﬁrst day could take a little time prior to the start of school. Signing up for school Each school district has its own requirements to begin kindergarten, so parents should familiarize themselves with their school district as soon as possible. One of the primary requirements is age. Children generally have to meet a certain age requirement (usually age 5), meaning their birthdays have to take place prior to or by a cut-off date. Public schools will also require proof of residence. They often require utility bills with the student’s address on them. Private schools typically have more lenient residence requirements. Most entering students also will need to have received all the necessary vaccinations. If the student has not received all immunizations, he or she will need to do so before enrolling. Getting prepared Some children are anxious to be “big kids” and begin

school. Others may be nervous about what’s in store. The best way to prepare children is to think about enrolling them in some sort of social program. Preschool is the avenue many parents choose, but simply spending time together with other kids in a structured social setting is enough for many kids to get acclimated. Talking about what to expect at school can also ease jitters. Parents can establish a school-like structure at home to illustrate their points. Have set times for meals and snacks, require small chores be done on time and set additional rules and limits. Bed time and wake times should be the same each day as well. Children who are unaccustomed to having structure may ﬁnd the rigors of the classroom scary. Parents should inquire about touring the school to help calm kids’ nerves. This way children will see exactly what environment they will be working in each day. Honing skills

Children will partake in a variety of activities during kindergarten. They’ll begin learning to write and perform other activities that require ﬁne motor skills. Parents can introduce their children to pencils, crayons, markers, and safety scissors so they can learn the proper grip and how to maneuver these tools. It’s also never too early to read with children. Studies indicate that children who frequently read with their parents or others tend to have greater success in school. The National Education Association says that children who were read to frequently are more likely to: • count to 20, or higher than those who were not; • write their own names; • read or pretend to read; The Educational Testing Services reports that students who do more reading at home are better readers and have higher math scores. Kindergarten is a child’s initial foray into the world of academia. Much has changed in the kindergarten curriculum, and parents can expect their kids to be learning much more in kindergarten than they once did. Editorial from Metro Creative

Bad tie rods that need repair cause big trouble CLICK & CLACK TALK CARS Ray & Tom Magliozzi

Dear Tom and Ray: I have a 1987 Honda Accord, and the right front CV boot on the drive axle is torn. The mechanic said it would be about $250 to replace, but then said that the tie rod must be removed and needs to be replaced, so it amounts to $500 to repair.

The car has 198,000 miles and is not worth too much more than that. Should I repair or find another beater? Meanwhile, I wrapped the boot with plastic bags from the grocery store, wrapped duct tape around the bags and then used wire to hold it in place. I did squirt some grease into the boot before I did this. Can I get along with this for a while? Is this safe? I’m afraid to go too far from home. – Bo TOM: Fears often are irrational and misplaced, Bo. Not yours – your fear of not straying too far

from home in this heap is entirely justified. And we’d encourage you to abide by it. RAY: I’m actually less worried about the CV boot than I am about the tie rod. Long before the CV joint fails, the car will make a terrible clacking noise and eventually stop moving. But that’s it. TOM: On the other hand, if the tie rod breaks, you suddenly won’t be able to steer the car. RAY: So if you trust your mechanic and believe the tie rod really does need to be replaced, I’d spend the $250 on that. That’s a

threat to your existence; the CV boot is just a threat to your transportation. TOM: Eventually, the CV joint will degrade and fail due to lack of lubrication. The repair you did with the plastic bags and duct tape won’t help. As you probably know by now, the centrifugal force of the spinning wheel will make that stuff fly off. Or even if it doesn’t fly off completely, it won’t do much to keep the grease packed into the joint. RAY: There IS something that does a very good job of holding the grease in there, Bo. It’s called a CV

boot. And it costs $250. TOM: But if you’re willing to put in a little more time maintaining it, you can pick up a tube of CV grease from your Honda dealer, and then once a week, get under the car and squirt some grease into the joint. RAY: That would push out all the water, rocks and pedestrians that the joint accumulated from the road during the week and replace it with life-sustaining lubricant. And if you were diligent, and did that once a week or so, the joint could soldier on for a long time.

TOM: It’ll take you five minutes every weekend. Well, five minutes to grease the joint, then 15 minutes to clean your hands and two hours to go out and replace the clothes you stained. But that’s a safe, acceptable, midrange solution. RAY: But you can’t Mickey Mouse the tie rod, Bo. If that breaks, you’ll lose control of the car. So get that fixed right away.

Drowsy driving as dangerous as drunk driving FULL THROTTLE Courtney Hansen

ands up if you have ever driven home exhausted. Or anywhere exhausted. We’re all spending more time working – and playing – harder, and it’s time usually deducted from what should be spent sleeping. Trading in those 40 winks has turned us into a society of (cue intro dramatic music here) Drowsssssy Driverrrrrrrrs. That term brought to you by the U.S. National

Sleep Foundation, which reports that half of the drivers on the road have driven under the influence of sleep deprivation. Look around you. If it’s not you, it’s the driver next to you, behind you or in front of you. (Suddenly, mass public transportation becomes much more appealing.) What’s the big deal, you ask? In a media release explaining the findings, Richard Gelula, the executive director of the NSF, said driving while drowsy is no different than driving drunk. “Sleepiness slows reaction time, decreases awareness and impairs judgment,” he said. “Now we’re finding that sleepy drivers are

more tense and impatient, and may even be speeding up when they should really be stopping to rest.” Not buying it? The RealAge website decided to test the effects of sleep deprivation on driving. In one experiment, participants who missed as little as three hours of sleep experienced the same magnitude of driving difficulties, such as an inability to maintain speed and road position, as drivers who were legally intoxicated. What’s up with that? If you can’t remember the last few miles driven, you drift from lanes or hit a rumble strip, or if you have difficulty focusing or keeping your eyes open, pull over, join a 12-step program and admit it: you

are a Drowsy Driver. People driving long distances without rest breaks, people who drive when they would normally be asleep, and people driving alone or on long, rural, boring roads increase their chances of being in a drowsy-driving-related incident. It’s difficult to tack a number onto just how many traffic altercations occur as a result of drowsy driving. There isn’t a standardized test like a Sleepalyzer, or something, to determine if a lack of sleep contributed to an accident … shoot, who actually would pass it? For those who need a number, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates

You could be paying too much! Bring your vehicle home to Honda for a comprehensive multi-point inspection (including brakes, tires, cooling system, exhaust system and much more) plus a genuine Honda oil and filter change, tire rotation and battery load/charging test.

shouldn’t be relied upon. So, what is the best strategy to cope with fatigue while on the road? “Pull over in a safe place and take a short nap,” says Gelula. While 22 per cent of drivers report doing just that when they are sleepy on the road, the vast majority (63 per cent) turn to caffeine for relief from fatigue.” If you’re taking a trip: get a good night’s sleep; plan to drive long trips with a companion who can keep an eye on the early warning signs of fatigue or switch with you when needed. Passengers should stay awake to talk to the driver and schedule regular stops, every two hours. (Starbucks optional.)

that 1.5 per cent of all crashes in the United States involve drowsiness/fatigue as a principal factor. A conservative estimate of yearly related fatalities is four per cent of all traffic crash fatalities. Wake up! Sorry my friends, but if you’re seriously suffering from sleep withdrawal, all the double espressos at Starbucks aren’t going to do the trick. Recent studies have shown that caffeine may actually contribute to sleepiness because when the buzz wears off, you feel even more tired than before you downed that mug(s) of extra-light roast. Also, driving with the window open or cranking the stereo to stay alert are temporary tricks that

Receiver caddy holds securely

An essential part of any hitch system is the ball mount, or receiver. Many people simply toss this component into the back of their pickup trucks or inside their sport utes’ stowage compartment where it often gets lost or left behind somewhere. Worse is that it crashes around the cabin when driving. The Receiver Caddy from Du-Ha Inc. is designed to securely hold up to two standard-size ball mounts. Constructed of heavyduty aluminum, the Caddy attaches to an appropriate spot inside your vehicle (it has drain holes for pickup installations) without drilling. Once in place, the receiver(s) can be safe-

guarded with an optional key lock. The Receiver Caddy itself sells for US $35, while adding the lock kit costs an extra 15 bucks. You can obtain the necessary ordering information and watch the instructional video at www.receivercad dy.com.

In fact, the company claims that the Bodyguard can support up to 30,000 pounds (13,600 kilograms). As well, the product’s design means you won’t have to lift your vehicle any higher than you normally would when using a regular creeper. Each unit includes three heavy-duty 15-centimetre locking casters and an ergonomic four-position backrest with lumbar support. The Bodyguard sells for US $500 and is available in a variety of colors directly from the manufacturer at www.creepex.com.

WHEELS Deals Japan looks to wipe out internal combustion A task force made up of Japan’s major industrial, energy and manufacturing companies and political parties has been established to ensure that country becomes “the dominant force” in the field of hydrogen-powered transportation, where hydrogen is converted to electricity for propulsion, which would effectively eliminate the internal-combustion engine. The task force will focus on issues concerning infrastructure and the cost of hydrogen-powered vehicles, says The Hydrogen News. Toyota, Honda and Nissan all have plans to launch hydrogen-powered vehicles in the near future. Toyota intends to sell its hydrogen vehicle for about US $51,000, says The Hydrogen News. The ultimate cost of these vehicles is expected to be lower, however, “as the task force formulates subsidy plans and tax reforms to make these vehicles more available to a wider range of consumers.”

cars were sold in the United States through June this year, accounting for a one-half of one per cent of all new car and truck sales. Incentives and price cuts have led to a 385-per-cent increase in sales during the first six months of 2013 compared to the same period last year.

Hydrogen fuel cells?

A U.K.-based chemical-engineering company says it has developed a hydrogen fuel cell that doubles the U.S. department of Energy’s hydrogen fuel-cell durability standard. Acal says its engine has been tested too run 10,000 hours, or the equivalent of about 500,000 kilometres of driving.

Toyota to debut fuelcell sedan in Tokyo

The automaker that defied skeptics in the 1990s with its Prius gasoline-electric hybrid four-door car is planning a fuelcell sequel, reports Bloomberg news service. Toyota will show its 2015 hydrogen-powered sedan at the Tokyo Motor Show in November.

Huge increase in electric car sales

About 41,000 battery-electric

Contributed/burnaby now

Eco-friendly edge: The logical successor to the Prius hybrid is expected to be powered by hydrogen, which would be converted to electricity to drive the car.

It could be available in the United States as early as next year. It would be sold “for a price comparable to a mid-size BMW or Tesla Model S.” Some carmakers predicted a decade ago that millions of

hydrogen-fuelled vehicles would be on the roads by now, but development hurdles and an ongoing lack of hydrogen-delivery infrastructure have blunted the effort. Hydrogen cars will be “genuinely better” vehicles over the

long term than gasoline-burning or battery-only autos, says the International Council on Clean Transportation. In a fuel-cell vehicle, hydrogen is converted to electricity for propulsion, eliminating battery charging and gasoline.

eal Estate Weekly shared in a conference call last week with real estate and mortgage experts from across Canada. While there was consensus that the Canadian housing market is coming in for a soft landing - perhaps a bit bumpier in Toronto and Vancouver - it was the tips for home buyers that appeared most worthwhile. John Turner, national director of specialized lending at Bank of Montreal, emphasized the importance of getting a pre-approved mortgages in today’s lending environment. “The pre-approved process remains a very important keystone in the home buying process, whether you’re a ﬁrst time homebuyer or a move-up buyer,” Turner said. Pre-approvals are more important today because, under new mortgage lending guidelines, buyers are required to qualify for a mortgage at the posted ﬁveyear rate, around 5.24 per cent, even if they opt for a less expensive mortgage term, such as a variable rate

% & ' !" , *# )+ or a one-year term, Turned explained. “There is a stress test built into the system to ensure folks can afford what they’re buying.” Turner added that appraisals are also required. “It is important that that appraisal is done in advance of firming up your offer. That’s an important dynamic today, probably more so than it was in the last few years.” Down payment is another important aspect and Turner noted there are a number of different strategies that buyers can use to save for the down payment. With an RRSP, clients can withdraw up to $25,000 for the purchase of a home. “ For those customers that may not have a credit history a great tip is to take out an RRSP loan. Obviously pay it back quickly with the tax refund and you have established credit by borrowing but then you can then use those funds to make that purchase of a home,” he said. He advised buyers to avoid the temptation of low-cost

variable rate mortgages and lock into longer-term rates, which currently are at near record lows. “We find most first-time homebuyers opting for security given concerns of budget, but essentially it’s about an insurance policy. Looking historically there are many rate graphs that would suggest variable is the right option, and certainly many benefited from that, but maybe the time has changed given where rates are in the cycle,” he said. The banker also urged buyers to take advantage of shorter amortizations and flexible lump-sum payment options to pay off their mortgage faster.

Get a solid appraisel, pre-approved mortgage before you shop for a home in today’s “changed” market, banker urges.

Top prospect – 2013’s male athlete Wrestler describes his mat career as just beginning

deal,” said Abdou. “For his size, it’s his speed and flexibility. He’s big and strong and flexible, ... He can execute moves that other wrestlers can’t. ... I’d say he’s one of the top 18-yearolds in North America. Right now, he looks definitely like a blue-chipper. He’s going to a top-notch program, and effectively he’s got what it takes.” With London Olympian Arjan Bhullar in semi-retirement, the only wrestler seemingly standing in his way is Abbotsford heavy Sunny Dhinsa. “Those two will be battling it out for a world and Olympic spot for the next eight years,” Abdou added. Prior to that, Dhesi will be honing his technique in the collegiate folkstyle method and looking for a rematch with Coon. “He’s going to Michigan and I’m going to Oregon State. We’ll meet in the future. I’m looking forward to it,” said Dhesi. Being named the high school athlete of the year was a different accomplishment, Dhesi added. “I’m honoured that the Burnaby NOW chose me. There are lots of good athletes in Burnaby, and lots of other sports.” But none with the tremendous up-side that Dhesi brings to the table. Still the likeable Dhesi plays down the accolade. “I’ve just started my career,” he said. “None of my goals have been accomplished – youth world championships, Olympic championships - I’m just starting.” His best memory to date still remains his first B.C. championship, when, as a Grade 9 novice, he beat all the top seeded wrestlers for the title. His father captured the moment in a photograph, showing a 14-year-old Dhesi waving his upraised arms in victory. “It is kind of a silly picture, but it is my memory of me winning. It was a pretty big moment – my most memorable, especially with me coming in as an underdog.” It’s very unlikely, Dhesi will stay an underdog for much longer.

Tom Berridge sports editor

Burnaby’s 2013 high school male athlete of the year is known for his deceptive quickness. But no one expected the sleight of hand Amar Dhesi showed at the U.S. freestyle national championships in Las Vegas earlier this year. Dhesi, a three-time Canadian national champion and former Pan Am championship bronze medallist, did what few Canadian wrestlers have done before him, and likely, even fewer will have the opportunity of matching – win a U.S. national title belt. Wrestling under the banner of the Northwest Regional Training Centre in Eugene, Oregon, Dhesi shocked the American heavyweight commu“I’ve just started nity last April my career. None by easily defeatAdam Coon, of my goals have ing the top NCAA been accomDivision I recruit in the championplished – youth ship final. world championOnly after Dhesi had acceptships, Olympic ed the championchampionships ship plaque, did – I’m just start- officials at the nationals begin to ing.” realize they had let a Canadian AMAR DHESI walk away from 2013 NOW athlete of the year the competition with the spoils. “It was a big moment for me down in Vegas. I wrestled in the (high school) provincial tournament on Wednesday, and (the U.S. championships) were on Friday,” Dhesi said. “I had five matches … I faced some good wrestlers. … It was one of my best accomplishments yet. But I’m just starting.” Dhesi was entered into the nationals by his incoming Oregon State University wrestling coach who wanted to test his blue-chip scholarship recruit against the best south of the border. Dhesi did not disappoint, downing Coon, a former under-17 world champion, 4-1, 4-0 in the national final – a feat Burnaby Central wrestling coach Gianni Buono described as “through the roof.” It took Dhesi two long years of tracking his opponent before the pair met eye-toeye on the wrestling mat. “Last year, at the western regionals, Coon did not appear, but I knew I’d find him,” said Dhesi. “I prepared for the nationals hard. I knew I’d find him. I was happy to have the opportunity to

Recent years had changed the eligibility rules for the U.S. championships, now allowing only U.S.-born wrestlers to take part in the event. However, even at past U.S. opens, only a handful of Canadian wrestlers have matched Dhesi’s accomplishment. In 1988, Simon Fraser University trans-

fer and Olympic silver medallist Jeff Thue won the heavyweight title. Current SFU wrestling coach Justin Abdou also won the 82-kilogram division in his first year of university after placing runner-up the year before as a high school grad. “At that age, it’s the biggest tournament you can win in North America. For a high school senior to win it, it’s a pretty big

Burnaby boys win silver medal at all-star nats

B.C. came away with a single silver medal from the Canadian Soccer Association national allstar championships last weekend. The B.C. all-star boys, including Premier League Mountain United FC’s Marcello Caporale and Devon Jones of Burnaby, finished runner-up in the under-15 division following a 3-1 loss to Ontario in the championship final in Laval, Que. on Saturday. Tied 1-1 going into the second half, Ontario opened the period with a penalty kick and then shut down the West Coasters the rest of the way. The u-16 boys, including Mountain pair Joal Padmore and Christian Nichele of Burnaby, opened their schedule with a 2-1 win over Alberta, but

couldn’t find a W after that, including a 2-0 loss to host Quebec in the bronzemedal match. In Thunder Bay, Ont., B.C. had an equally difficult time of it at the national all-star girls’ championships. The provincial u-16 girls, including Mountain’s Sydney Bell, Teagan McManus and Allyson and Christina Dickson of Burnaby, finished the round-robin with a 1-1-1 record, but missed out on a third-place medal, falling to Alberta for the second time in the competition 1-0 on July 20. The u-15 girls, including Mountain United’s Anisha Sangha and Lauren Rea of Burnaby, ended on a winning note, blanking Manitoba/Saskatchewan 3-0 to finish in fifth place overall.

Pro-junior: Alex Francois holds the Jack McLaughlin

Cup after shooting a low 63 score.

Burnaby golfer helps club win pro-junior The Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club won the Jack McLaughlin Memorial PGA of B.C. Pro-Junior at the Summerland Golf and Country Club on Monday. The team, which included pro Alan Palmer and juniors Diego San Pedro, Josh Zhang and Alex Francois of Burnaby, shot an adjusted score of 125 to beat Jeff Hollman’s Penticton team by two strokes and Vernon’s team, captained by Bradlee Jones by three strokes. Shaughnessy was led by Francois, a 15-year-old Burnaby student, who shot a sterling nine-under-par 63, including 11 birdies. “This was my best round ever,” said the Moscrop Secondary School student in a PGA of B.C. press release. “I made a lot of putts and my team really

helped out on the holes I didn’t make birdie.” “Josh made four or five birdies and Diego chipped in with an eagle,” said Palmer. “It is awesome to win this award.” Palmer said the win was of special significance because of Jack McLaughlin’s ties to the Vancouver golf club. “I recently had lunch with Jack’s son Jim and I told him how important it was for me to personally bring a team to the projunior named in his honour,” said Palmer. “Jack’s influence on me and on junior golf is something I really value, and to win this makes it even more special. We’ll be hosting the dinner to honour Jack later this year and it’s just a special thing to be able to win this in his honour.”

Pulling for the line: Competitors take to the oars in a 1,000-metre men’s sweep race during the Cascadia masters rowing regatta at Burnaby Lake last Saturday.

Racer signs on for remainder of season Michael Valiante of Burnaby signed with 8Star Motorsports to drive the No. 3 Chevrolet Corvette DP with Stephane Sarrazin and team owner Enzo Potolicchio for the balance of the Rolex Grand-Am Series Daytona Prototype season. Valiante, 33, helped 8Star during its May test at Sebring International Raceway in Florida before subbing for Sarrazin in the June 15 race at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio. A masterful drive by the Canadian resulted in 34 laps led and a second-place finish, 8Star’s first podium in just the sixth race of its existence. Two weeks later, in the six-hour endurance race at Watkins Glen,

New York International, Valiante helped the team to a second consecutive runner-up finish, moving the team to within 17 points of the lead in the team championship point standings. Valiante is one of only a handful of drivers in Grand-Am history to win two professional races in one day, capturing a Daytona Prototype victory, as well as a win in the Street Tuner class of the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge last season at Mid-Ohio. He has two wins and 11 podiums in 83 Grand-Am Series Daytona Protoype starts since 2005. Valiante owns and operates MV Motorsports Driver Development and MV Motorsports Management

in Vancouver. “I’m really pleased to have signed with 8Star for the rest of the season,” said Valiante in a press release. “The races have gone very well. We’re actually not too far out of the championship hunt now, so I’m looking forward to the next five races.” The No. 3 8Star Corvette DP team is currently sixth in the 2013 team point standings. “Michael has done an unbelievable job for 8Star Motorsports,” Potolicchio said in the release. “He’s been a great help to the development of our Corvette DP program and has given us amazing results every race weekend.” tberridge@burnabynow.com

Oakeys win provincial midget softball title Tom Berridge sports editor

The Burnaby Oakeys are the new midget B girls’ softball champions. The under-18 rep team avenged its only loss of the round robin, knocking off the Langley Extreme twice in the championship round, including an 11-9 victory in the gold-medal final in Cordova Bay on July 21. Burnaby also beat Langley 7-4 with the help of a bases-loaded strikeout in the bottom of the seventh inning by Olivia Pagnottaro to move on to the final four. The Oakeys then mercied host Cordova Bay 11-4 to advance to the final. “It’s a team we kind

of built and we just all gelled,” said Oakeys coach Curtis Holm. Trailing 4-0 after the first inning of the final, Avery Hutton smacked a bases-loaded triple to tie the game 5-5 after two innings. Burnaby fell behind by two runs but rallied with six more runs in the sixth, when Kaela Ponte brought home the game-winning runs with a clutch RBI. In the final inning, with two out and Langley runners on first and third, Oakeys catcher Jenna Holm rifled the ball to Ponte at second base for the game-winning out. “It was a perfect throw and perfect timing, and ended the game in perfect fashion,” said Holm.

D-man to orientation camp Washington Capitals defenceman Karl Alzner of Burnaby was one of 47 players invited to the Canadian national men’s orientation hockey camp, which will be held from Aug. 25 to 28 in Calgary. Alzner is one of 17 defenceman named to the squad.

Mercy me: The Burnaby Oakeys won the gold

medal at the Softball B.C. midget B provincial championships in Victoria on July 21. “(Jenna) looked up and checked (the runner at third), and she knew she had her.” Two weeks earlier, Burnaby won a tournament in Everett, Washington that set the stage for the upcoming provincials.

“We really got hot at the right time,” Holm said, of the Oakeys, including Madison Arrotta, Haley Dore, Marcela Zuniga, Madison Rogerson, Bailey Mehan, Hayley Miller, Gabrielle Williams, Jamie Ursel and Amane Halicki.
