Burnaby Now November 19 2014

The Burnaby Citizens Association tookthe city with another full sweep, with candi-dates snagging every last council and schoolboard seat for the third time in a row.

While it may be remarkable, Corrigan,now in his fifth term, was not surprised.

“I feel absolutely great, I feel elated. Thisis probably the toughest one for us to comeback and repeat it a third time. I just feel soprivileged the people of Burnaby trust usand respect us,” he told the NOW, from BCAheadquarters at the Firefighters Banquet Hallnear Metrotown on Saturday night. “I don’tthink it’s happened before, and I don’t knowthat it could ever happen again. It’s some-thing that’s unique in our city.”

The evening started with a bagpipe pro-cession bringing in the BCA’s council andschool board candidates to a crowd of rough-ly 200 supporters. Corrigan and his wifeKathy, MLA for Burnaby-Deer Lake, werealso brought in with pipers shortly after.

The final election results show Corriganre-elected as mayor with 28,113 votes, or 68.9per cent of the ballots cast.

BCA incumbent Pietro Calendino was thetop councillor, with 23,373 votes, followed byDan Johnston (23,267), Anne Kang (22,164),Colleen Jordan (22,158), Paul McDonell(21,303), Sav Dhaliwal (21,082), Nick Volkow(19,700) and James Wang (19,490).

BCA school trustee candidates also heldall the school board seats.

Longtime trustee Ron Burton garneredthe most votes at 24,189, followed by LarryHayes (23,249), newcomer Katrina Chen(23,116), Gary Wong (21,743), BaljinderNarang (18,854), Meiling Chia (18,552) andHarman Pandher (18,345).

The only changes from the previous BCAlineup are that Wang has moved from schoolboard to council, while Chen is new to theschool board.

Corrigan said the opposition didn’t seemwell organized or focused in their approachto the issues.

“They didn’t seem to have much of a mes-sage of doing anything differently than whatwe were doing. Mostly they just criticizedus, and I don’t believe that’s an effectivecampaign. Our campaign was very positive,”

Corrigan said.However, Daren Hancott made a strong

run for mayor, securing 21.7 per cent ofthe vote, but those 8,848 ballots weren’tenough to unseat Corrigan.

Likewise, the BFC’s council candidatesfell short of winning a single seat. HelenWard came closest with 14,680 votes (5.4per cent), but was still 4,810 votes awayfrom tying with trustee-turned-councillorWang.

“I’m disappointed we don’t have anofficial opposition in seats,” admittedHancott, though he was impressed by theincreased voter turnout, with 41,494 resi-dents casting their ballots. The 2011 elec-tion only saw 32,953 eligible voters showup at the polls.

“On two fronts, I think we wonsomething. The democratic deficit got

One-party school board will workon generating confidence in process

The Burnaby school board may be head-ing into its seventh year without a dissentingvoice at the table, but that doesn’t mean therewon’t be debate and openness over the nextfour years, according to newly elected BurnabyCitizens Association trustees.

BCA swept the trustee seats in Saturday’selection, adding only Katrina Chen to the boardin place of James Wang, who won a city councilseat.

By the end of the new term, the left-of-centreparty will have run local schools sans opposi-tion for 10 years.

During the campaign, the oppositionBurnaby First Coalition warned such an out-come would stifle openness and debate.

But board chair Baljinder Narang, who waselected to a third term Saturday, said it is amyth that BCA trustees agree on everythingand that there is no debate on the board.

The debate happens mostly in committeemeetings, which are open to the public, shesaid, while board meetings are “more aboutcelebration.”

But Narang said she heard the concernsabout openness raised during the election.

“And that’s something the new board willbe looking at to see how do we work as a teamand yet generate that confidence in the com-munity that we’re actually not rubber-stamp-ing each other and that there is a consensusthat is built and that there are arguments,” shetold the NOW on election night. “That doeshappen.”

Narang also pointed to Chen as a new voicein the mix.

“She’s going to bring a new dynamic to thetable,” Narang said.

Trustee Ron Burton, who was elected to his10th term Saturday and will have served for31 years by the end of his new tenure, was lessconciliatory.

He said the election results speak for them-selves.

“I think the people of Burnaby are satis-

fied with what’s going on,” he said. “I think itsays that we’re on the right track, and that ourschool board’s doing well. We reflect what thecommunity wants, and that’s the most impor-tant thing.”

As for openness and debate, he reiteratedNarang’s point that all that work goes on incommittee meetings open to the public.

Burnaby First trustee candidate JaniceBeecroft said she’ll be keeping a close eye onthose committees over the next four.

Beecroft was the Burnaby First candidatewho came closest to spoiling the BCA shut-out on school board and city council, com-ing in 2,934 votes behind incumbent HarmanPandher.

Despite her party’s loss, she said there is stillwork to be done.

“Hopefully we’ll get some change goingeven if we still have to be a loud voice from theoutside,” she said.

She disagrees with Burton about the mes-sage sent by the election results, crediting theBCA school-board sweep to the party’s superi-or war chest and campaign experience instead.

“It’s like you’re just up against a wall, buteventually that wall’s got to crumble a littlebit,” she said. “Nobody thought the Berlin Wallwas going to crumble and here we are celebrat-ing the anniversary.”

Trustees will be sworn in to their new termat an inaugural meeting on Dec. 9.

Burnaby First promises to rebuildThe polls may have closed on Burnaby’s

2014 election, but Burnaby First is already look-ing ahead at the next four years.

While mayoral candidate Daren Hancottcouldn’t guarantee that he would be leadingthe opposition in the next election, he notedin his speech that the BFC has created a strong

base for the future of Burnaby.“I want to rebuild our group because, even

though I think we represent a large chunk ofthe population, I don’t think it’s large enough,”he told the NOW. “More diversity, more youth,more women, maybe more broad experience.”

Hancott also said he wants to instill leader-ship among the BFC’s other candidates andbuild “bench strength” – a sports term for aquality lineup – for future iterations of the

coalition.“If I’m lucky enough to do it again and the

group wants me, I’d like to have three peoplebehind me who could be great mayors as well.That way, people can see succession planningat work.”

The BFC’s candidates garnered more votesthan 2011’s TEAM Burnaby, narrowing the gap

narrowed – I think the voterturnout was pretty good,and I think that galvanizeda bunch of new voters. AndI’m pleased at the showingof some of our candidates,”Hancott said.

Behind Ward, Hancott’swife Linda won 5.1 percent of the vote, followedby Jason Chan (4.7 percent), Matthew Hartney(4.4 per cent), Ray Power(4.2 per cent), Nick Kvenich(3.9 per cent), Charter Lau(3.7 per cent) and ShakilaJeyachandran (2.9 per cent).

Hancott noted the chal-lenges of putting togethersuch a diverse group anddeveloping policies as aunit, but based on the over-all votes for Burnaby Firstand the coalition’s budgetof roughly $25,000, he saidthey proved they can domore with less.

“It was true democracyat work,” he said.

While unsure that he willbe leading the BFC chargein four years, Hancott toldhis supporters that BurnabyFirst will look ahead to2018, noting that “each citydeserves a choice” of strongmunicipal parties.

“We’re not going any-where,” he said in a speech.“We’re going to be strongernext time, and we’re goingto hold those feet to thefire.”

Burnaby’s independentmayoral and council candi-dates did not fare quite aswell: Helen Chang received1,845 votes (4.5 per cent)while Allen Hutton had 974(2.4 per cent). Raj Guptawas marked down on 680ballots (1.7 per cent) andSylvia Gung got 372 votes(0.9 per cent).

For independent coun-cil candidates, Tom Tao,who ran for mayor in 2011under TEAM Burnaby,received 3,959 votes (1.4per cent). Jeff Kuah, whoran for school board underTEAM Burnaby last timearound, received 3,107 (1.1per cent).

between the support forincumbent Mayor DerekCorrigan and the other may-oral candidates. Hancottpartly credited the increasedturnout to the BFC’s cam-paigning over the last sevenmonths.

“I think each citydeserves a choice,” he said.“I hope that we will be seenas a credible group of peo-ple that’s going to build andgive people choice.”

But while he and manyother BFC candidates areanxious to close that gapeven more in 2018, oth-ers are more apprehensiveabout committing to anoth-

er run at politics.Matthew Hartney, an

accountant who has workedwith all levels of govern-ment, said he would haveto consider running again

at a later time so as not toconflict with his job.

“I’ve got to be cautious,”he said. “I made a decisionto do it at this point in time– I don’t want that to harm

or hinder my work as a pro-fessional.”

Many members of theBFC’s 2014 council slate pre-viously ran under differentbanners: Charter Lau and

Helen Ward were membersof Parents’ Voice, and RayPower was a candidatewith TEAM Burnaby. NickKvenich previously ran asan independent.

Deadline passes but protesters stay on mountain

The Monday dead-line for Kinder Morgan’spipeline injunction haspassed, but protesters donot appear to be leavingBurnaby Mountain any-time soon.

Approximately 350to 400 people gatheredon Centennial Way onMonday at 3 p.m. for a

rally against the pipeline– just an hour before theywere supposed to clearout so Kinder Morgan canfinish survey work. Therewere songs and speechesfrom First Nations repre-sentatives and activists,while the Burnaby RCMPlooked on.

About a dozen pro-testers remained on siteTuesday morning. Somehave been sleeping in

the park, keeping watchovernight, and more arestationed at a clearing inthe woods, where KinderMorgan needs to drill forsoil samples.

Sut-lut from theSquamish Indian Band saidthe list of people willing tosleep in the park is grow-ing.

“I don’t know what theplan is, but I’m not goingtill this is resolved,” she

told the NOW on Tuesday,from inside the protest-ers’ camp. At Monday’srally, Elsie Dean, a mem-ber of Burnaby ResidentsOpposing Kinder MorganExpansion, said the plan is

to interfere with the com-pany’s work and stop thepipeline expansion.

“We don’t want to bearrested, but we do wantto continue the opposition.We do want to continue

to inform people, becausethere are still a lot of peo-ple who don’t know theseriousness of this wholething,” Dean said.

The latest move to study(and perhaps eventuallyreduce) problem gambling

is welcome news, but don’tthink for a minute it’s a sign theprovincial government is anyless voracious when it comes togobbling up money from gam-blers.

Last week saw the estab-lishment of the new Centrefor Gambling Research at theUniversity of B.C. A UBC newsrelease said the centre’s keygoals are “probing the psychol-ogy of gambling, helping prob-lem gamblers and enhancinggaming policy.”

There will be a “casino lab”created in the centre, whichsounds nifty. It will have slotmachines and other games, andit will measure things like heartrates and brain responses ofgamblers.

The whole thing is being paidfor by a $2-million grant fromthe B.C. government and theB.C. Lottery Corporation. This isall well and good.

But if you think that grant is“guilt” money, you would becorrect.

The B.C. government, likeevery other provincial govern-ment (if not governments prettymuch everywhere), long agobecame addicted to revenuesflowing its way from the gam-bling industry.

It wasn’t always like this, ofcourse. For decades, if a personwanted to gamble legally (Istress that word) in this prov-ince, such activities were basic-ally confined to horse racing,the crown and anchor wheel onthe carnival midway (I used tooperate one, by the way) andperhaps an annual Grey Cuppool or the old Irish HospitalSweepstakes horse race.

That changed in the mid-1970s, when a national lotterywas established to help pay forMontreal’s Olympic Games in1976. The Olympics came andwent, but the lottery stayed.

Then, in 1985, provinceswere given control of gambling.One can just imagine provincialfinancial ministers of the daysalivating at the prospect of awhole new revenue stream beingopened up to them.

And open it up it did, asprovincial lotteries became big-ger and bigger. Eventually,casinos were brought into being,and with them the biggest cashcow of all: slot machines andother electronic game machines.

By 2002, revenues for the B.C.government broke through the$500 million level. Since then,

One-party rule shouldn’t ignore other voicesDerek Corrigan and his BCA team

have won another resounding re-electionin Burnaby.

Thankfully there was a little less chestbeating this time around, but there wasstill a lot of ‘I told you so’s’ tomake up for it.

BCA and Mayor Corrigansupporters will say that theleft-leaning slate has takenthe whole ball of wax again because thevoters respect his leadership, trust hisgovernment and know that it’s being run

well. And to be sure, many, many votersput their mark next to BCA because theyare completely satisfied with the way thecity is being run. Or, perhaps, becausethey agree with the city’s anti-pipeline

stance. But a fair number puttheir mark beside a BurnabyFirst Coalition candidatebecause they either didn’t havefaith in the BCA government,

disagreed with its principles, or felt thatthere was a need for more voices on citycouncil and the school board.

As Corrigan asked us (rhetorically) inthe election run up, does that mean BCAshould not do its damndest to win everyone of the seats? Of course not. In politicsyou play to win, and you hope to takehome all of the marbles. But it doesn’tmean that after winning you ignore everyidea and every concern coming frompeople of different political stripes. Cityhall and city government shouldn’t be aclosed shop.

It was refreshing to hear BaljinderNarang, the BCA school board chair, say

that she recognizes there are concernswith one-party rule and the perceptionthat all board members are in lock-stepon issues. Her pledge to try and open upthe discussion a bit, is a welcome one.

As for the Burnaby First Coalition’spledge to rebuild and come back stron-ger. Good for them. Politics is a hardgame. It takes fortitude. It also takes athick skin and a incredible devotion tobuilding a community. Derek Corriganhas certainly shown he has all of that andmore.

Gambling isn’tgoing anywhere

Can’t have steel without coalDear Editor:

I find it interesting that among the variousanti-this and anti-that protestors and activists whoseem to populate the media landscape of BritishColumbia, I’ve never seen one protesting againststeel. People readily understand that steel is a vitallyimportant material that has made the modern worldpossible. We all benefit from steel.

Yet, without metallurgical grade coal, a naturalresource that British Columbia is fortunate to havein abundance, and one that is frequently the targetof anti-this and anti-that protestors, there would beno steel and no modern world. British Columbia isblessed with a valuable gift in metallurgical coal. It’sa gift we are able to share with the world. And it’sa gift that creates tens of thousands of high-paying

jobs for many of our fellow British Columbians who,in turn, support thousands of small- and medium-sized businesses all over the province.

So, the next time you see someone on the nightlynews ranting against coal, stop for a moment andthink about the steel that would be impossible with-out British Columbia’s coal. And then stop and thinkabout the tens of thousands of British Columbiafamilies whose jobs and livelihoods would vanishwithout that important natural resource.

dumbfounding declarations (the pipelineis not an issue), it seems to me that theoutcome was determined by the singlemost important ingredient that accompa-nies each vote cast: Trust.

On this issue alone, the positive,upbeat campaign of the Burnaby Citizen’sAssociation had more (the numbers sug-gest a great deal more) appeal than themostly negative and policy starved plat-form of the Burnaby First Coalition.

No secrets, pleaseDear Editor:

The National Energy Board (NEB) hasrecently ordered that Kinder Morganreveal their secret emergency plans – withsome conditions.

The B.C. Emergency Preparedness forIndustry and Commerce Council (EPICC),was established to help businesses preparefor emergencies and disasters. Membership

is open to businesses, of all sizes.Is Kinder Morgan a member?

How much B.C. public infrastructureis being upgraded (costing billions), tocope with expected ‘greater magnitude’earthquakes?

Burnaby residents, located in a residen-tial neighbourhood, located just ‘down-hill’ from Kinder Morgan’s storage tankfarm, should be assured that all of KinderMorgan’s (existing and new) facilities aredesigned/upgraded to current earthquakestandards, which would preclude majoroil spills!

Some might be interested to know thatthe 1995 Kobe, Japan earthquake resultedin direct property losses of $US 147 bil-lion and 4,000-plus deaths – while theirLNG plant and storage tanks remainedintact. This is exactly what a Burnaby (orother resident) citizen should expect fromKinder Morgan’s new and upgraded pipe-line and oil storage tank facilities!

So please, Kinder Morgan, show usyour earthquake preparedness plan – nosecrets, please!

BCA was ‘positive, upbeat’

they have doubled toalmost $1.2 billion expect-ed to come in this year.

That money is distrib-uted, in part, to non-profitarts, culture and sportsgroups (like your localLittle League baseballteam) and to municipal-ities that host casinos(which helps explain theoften muted oppositionto gaming expansion bymunicipalities). But thevast majority (almost $900million) goes to the gov-ernment’s general revenuefund.

The government’s directshare of the gambling pieis enough to fund, to pickjust one area, what thegovernment spends on allsocial services in an entireyear.

This isn’t chump changewe’re talking about folks,which is why any notionthat the government – anygovernment – is going tospend gobs of cash treat-ing problem gamblers hasdim prospects of becomingreality.

There are valid argu-ments to curtail a casino’soperating hours, reducethe number of slotmachines (which are par-ticularly insidious when itcomes to attracting prob-lem gamblers) and anynumber of other measuresaimed at making gamblinga bit harder to access.

But the fact is, evenwith that $2 million grantfor UBC, the money spentannually on problem gam-bling is less than one percent of the profits govern-ment earn on that activity.

And as long as govern-ments refuse to even havea dialogue about revisitingour tax system, they willcontinue to look greedilyat any prospective rev-enues that allow them tomeet ever-rising publicexpectations for govern-ment services, whetherthey are for health care,education, social services,or whatever.

So until a political partystakes out new turf, andputs things like an incometax hike, a substantial cor-

porate tax increase, or abig reduction in spending,revenue generators likethe gambling industry willcontinue to be an indispen-sible part of the social fab-ric, as distasteful as manypeople find that.

B.C. Provincial HealthOfficer Perry Kendall, inhis groundbreaking reporton gambling released lastyear, has estimated thereare about 31,000 peoplestruggling, at variousdegrees, with problemgambling in this province.

But even with laudablemeasures being taken,such as establishing theCentre for GamblingResearch at UBC, I’mafraid many of thosepeople will end up beingcollateral damage result-ing from the government’sceaseless efforts to findmoney to pay for thethings that everyone wants– but don’t really want topay any more for them.

some BROKE members may resort tocivil disobedience, but only if it is “reallyessential,” Dean explained.

“I will do civil disobedience if it’snecessary, if I can see it’s going to accom-plish something, because I take this veryseriously,” she said. “Moving forward,it’s going to be a long fight. I’m just abso-lutely ecstatic about the way it’s catchingon and how people are responding, eitherquietly in some way or out like this, so Ihave great hopes we will turn this thingaround and stop the tar sands.”

Earlier in the day, the RCMP announcedthere would be no arrests, as police wantto give people a chance to clear out.

“We have discretion to use the enforce-ment order when and where we wish,”Staff Sgt. Major John Buis told the NOW.

Buis didn’t want to speculate on whatwould happen if protesters refused to

vacate the premises.“We don’t want to arrest anybody,”

Buis said, adding they will if they have to.“We will be observing the protest camp.... Are we going to be there 24 hours aday, seven days a week? I can’t answerthat.”

Kinder Morgan didnot send any workcrews to the mountainMonday.

“Right now we arejust assessing every-thing to see what ournext steps are,” saidLisa Clement on behalfof the Trans Mountainexpansion project. Clement could not saywhen the company would resume surveywork on Tuesday morning either. KinderMorgan wants to tunnel through BurnabyMountain, through a city-owned conser-

vation area, as part of the Trans Mountainpipeline expansion.

Protesters have been keeping watchon the mountain for the past severalweeks, with some even sleeping in thepark overnight. They have an encamp-

ment set up on the sideof Centennial Way, whereKinder Morgan wantsto drill for soil samples.Some are also gathered atanother bore-hole site in aclearing in the woods.

Around 2:30 p.m.today, Trans Mountainrepresentatives went toBurnaby Mountain to read

out the injunction and enforcement orderto protesters.

The B.C. Supreme Court injunctionprevents the activists from blockingKinder Morgan’s survey work, which the

company is trying to complete to meet aDec. 1 deadline from the National EnergyBoard.

“Trans Mountain is hopeful individu-als occupying the area will respect theorder and exercise their rights to expresstheir views in a respectful manner, whileallowing our team to get the work com-pleted,” the company stated in a mediarelease. “We hope those who oppose ourproject respect the decision and keeppeace as we resume the work required.We believe it is possible for people toprotest and express themselves while wecommence our work safely.”

The remaining survey work involvesdrilling two holes, roughly 250 metresdeep, to take soil samples to help deter-mine if the pipeline route is feasible.

Burnaby’s civic election turnout was higher than 2011’sbut still below the provincial average.

According to Civic Info B.C., which posts results fromall of B.C.’s municipal elections, the provincewide voterturnout average was 33.3 per cent. In Burnaby, 41,494 resi-dents voted in the municipal election out of an estimated159,975 eligible voters – that puts Burnaby’s voter turnoutat 25.94 per cent, roughly seven per cent below the prov-incewide average but higher than last year’s local results,

which were 22.55 per cent.The City of Burnaby’s election office is reporting a

slightly higher turnout number at 28.92, because they cal-culate the percentage using registered voters, rather thanestimated eligible voters.

The city’s final figures show 41,494 votes were cast outof 143,489 registered voters.

Lynne Axford, Burnaby’s chief election officer, washappy with the results.

“I was very pleased that we increased from 2011. We’reup almost six per cent,” she told the NOW. The averageprovincewide turnout in 2011 was 29.55 per cent.

Burnaby students denied the Burnaby CitizensAssociation a third sweep of city council Saturday.

In a parallel election run by Student Vote, 1,463 kidsfrom 14 local schools elected two Burnaby First Coalitioncouncillors: Linda Hancott and Jason Chan, with 471 and552 votes respectively.

BCA councillors-elect Nick Volkow and James Wang,who won seats in Saturday’s grown-up election, didn’tmake the cut among students.

Wang was 49 votes behind Hancott, while Volkow was54 votes off the pace.

One thing local students and their parents did agree onwas their choice for mayor.

Incumbent Derek Corrigan garnered 886 votes – 666more than independent Helen Chang and 701 more thanBurnaby First mayoral candidate Daren Hancott.

Student Vote is an Ontario-based program that hasorganized authentic parallel elections for students acrossCanada since 2003.

This was the program’s first municipal election in B.C.,and in the interest of simplifying the ballot, organizerssaid they decided to make trustee candidates optional thistime around.

Two people remain in hospital after their SUV collidedwith another vehicle on Barnet Highway last Thursday.

Burnaby RCMP were called to the 8200 block of BarnetHighway near Barnet Marine Park at 6:39 a.m. on Nov. 13for a multi-vehicle collision involving two SUVs, Staff Sgt.Maj. John Buis told the NOW.

“It was a two-vehicle crash, and an eastbound car strucka westbound car,” Buis said.

Firefighters had to remove the driver and passenger ofthe eastbound vehicle who were trapped inside the SUVduring the crash, Buis added.

Both victims were taken to Royal Columbian Hospital,where they remain in stable condition.

“They need more surgery,” Buis told the NOW onMonday. “They’re not out of danger yet but they’re stillalive, that’s the main thing.”

The driver of the westbound SUV was uninjured in thecrash.

Investigators believe that speed coupled with icy roadconditions may have been what caused the eastboundvehicle to collide with the westbound vehicle.

Years ago, Burnaby’s Katarina Lovricworked as a volunteer picking upgroceries for seniors, but what she

really wanted was a paycheque and someexperience under her belt.

She enjoyedvolunteering andfelt confident inher abilities, andshe connected withan employmentagency. Lovricspent seven-and-a-half yearswith that agency,attending meetings

and taking courses, but had no luck find-ing a job.

“It was really frustrating,” she says.Then Community Living B.C. stepped

in and suggested another agency, pos-Abilities, which took all of five months toland her a cashier position at Costco.

“I know, I know!” the 31-year-old saysgiggling with glee. “It’s crazy, it didn’teven take them that long. It’s a good feel-ing.”

Eight months ago, Lovric started atCostco. She was nervous at first but

quickly grew comfortable with her dutiesand now considers her co-workers family.She clocks in 20 hours a week, at $10.25 anhour, and she’s happy as a clam.

“I love it here. The people are great,”Lovric says in the noisy Costco cafeteria,before her Friday afternoon shift. “I’vemade a lot of new friends.”

Lovric’s among nearly 200 peoplefrom all over the Lower Mainland whohave found work through posAbilities,an organization dedicated to empoweringpeople with developmental disabilities.The disabilities can range from fetal alco-hol syndrome, to brain injuries, to autism– things that could make it challengingfor people to find work on their own.PosAbilities helps by identifying people’sworkplace strengths and connecting themto jobs they would do well at. The serviceincludes access to a job club, help withresumes or cover letters, on-site job train-ing and referrals to more services if needbe.

There’s also Melissa Tobin, a posAbili-ties employment specialist, who helpspeople like Lovric settle in their new posi-tions.

“(Katarina’s) so outgoing, and she has

a great personable attitude. As soon as wegot the interview at Costco, I knew shewas in. She had them laughing the wholeinterview,” Tobin says.

In the beginning, Tobin worked along-side Lovric and helped her bag groceries,but as Lovric grew more confident andindependent, Tobin visited less frequently.

Costco is just one employer posAbili-ties works with. Kalena Kavanaugh, theposAbilities employment service manager,says the employers include Thrifty Foods,Lowe’s, White Spot, the Vancouver PublicLibrary, Value Village and CasalingaFoods, a Burnaby-based business. Mostjob-seekers find posAbilities throughCommunity Living B.C. People can callCLBC and ask for a facilitator’s referral fortheir family members with developmentaldisabilities.

In the earlier years, families were ner-vous about sending their children off tothe workplace, Kavanaugh explains.

“Families put a lot of faith in us,” shesays. “Everything is scary when it’s new.”

But she also describes a shift that tookplace.

“That shift was a mindset for peoplewho wanted to have purpose in their day,

who wanted to be included in the commu-nity,” she says.

Lovric, who lives with her parents, ishappy to now have her own paycheque.She spends her earnings on BackstreetBoys concert tickets and merchandiseand pitches in to help with some familyexpenses.

“It feels good. I feel like I’m givingsomething back as a gift. I’m not askingmy parents for money anymore,” shesays. “I feel like I’m giving back to thecommunity.”

Lovric’s goal is to stay at Costco as longas she can, but she has advice for otherslooking for work.

“It’s hard to get a job. I was one of thelucky ones that got what I wanted,” shesays.

“For the people that don’t have a job,I know you guys can do it. I have a lot ofconfidence in you guys, and I wish youthe best of luck,” she says, lowering herface, tears welling in her eyes.

The Hastings Veterinary Hospital has been a leader in the veterinaryfield in Burnaby for more than a decade. Founded in 2003, the veterinaryclinic is owned by two brothers, veterinarians, Dr. Jangi Bajwa and Dr.Amardeep Bajwa. Their mandate is to provide the most sincere andcompassionate veterinary care possible.Hastings Veterinary Hospital is committed to setting the higheststandards of veterinary care and believes in educating pet parentsduring client consultations. Keeping appointment times longer than thestandard practice of 15 minutes gives them the opportunity to get toknow the pet better and be able to discuss in detail what would be thebest individualized care for each pet. “Animals have always been closeto humans but in this day and age, it is about knowing how best you cantake care of companion pets. We are lucky to have their unconditionallove and it is our responsibility as pet parents to do our best by them.Treatments are tailored for every family’s specific budgets and needs,while still providing valuable care. We do our bit in helping where wecan when it comes to the cost of veterinary care. To ensure completerecoveries from illness, a majority of follow-up consultations areperformed at no cost” Dr. Jangi Bajwa says.The veterinary hospital is definitely feline friendly, having recentlyexpanded their space in order to open a dedicated cat wing. “Cats liketheir privacy and a peaceful environment, andmany cats are not exposedto the outside which causes added stress during vet visits. Providingcats and kittens with the most relaxed veterinary visit is key. We set upa separate cat waiting area and have moved the cat boarding to thequietest part of the hospital”. We urge cat parents to bring cats in forregular health checkups” Dr. Jangi Bajwa adds.Dr. Jangi Bajwa is only one of two board-certified veterinarydermatologists in the lower mainland. He provides the highest possiblecare for skin and ear problems, while offering video-otoscopy (detailed,thorough ear care) and skin allergy testing (with the gold standard test)to his patients.The Hastings Veterinary team encourages timely preventativevaccinations and services include a prescription pharmacy, digital x-rays,ultrasound and dentistry. The broad range of services and making petparents a part of veterinary care helps build invaluable long-termrelationships within the local community. His goal is for pets to be attheir vigorous best. If you would like to visit the veterinary hospital orcat boarding facilities, or to learn more about pet-care please contact theclinic at 604-291-6666.

A. Community newspapers continue to be aneffective channel for advertising -many of ourregular customers see strong results from theiradvertising campaigns. Community newspapersare trusted by their audience and give the readersa sense that the business is connected to thecommunity. The keys to an effective advertisingcampaign are good design and frequency. Ensure

that your ad design is consistentwith the branding strategy thatyou have established for your business, and includes a call to action.Regarding frequency, repeated exposure to an advertisement is the bestway to keep your business top-of-mind so thatwhen the need strikes,the customer thinks of you first. Depending on your budget, it is betterto run a smaller ad more frequently (ie:weekly or twice per month)than a large ad just once or twice. To further your reach into the marketand see stronger results, compliment your print campaign with onlinedisplay ad impressions.

Q. Is declawing safe for cats?A. Declawing is safe for cats, ifperformed by a licensed veterinarianand with adequate pain control. Theprocedure is surgically performedunder general anesthesia and is avery painful surgery, needing paincontrol for several days. It is vital thatthe potential reason for declawinga cat be thoroughly assessed. This

should never be an“elective”procedure. Instead,behavioral modification is recommended if a catis acting aggressive or destroying furniture. Ifsuch behavior or other concerns become severeenough to affect the well-being or quality of lifeof a cat, declawing should be discussed with yourveterinarian. Cats that have been declawed shouldstay indoors 100% of the time.

A. Many baby boomers still consider themselves to be youngand vital. Indeed, they are far more physically and socially activethan previous generations making them an active part of thehousing economy for years to come. Developers are taking noticeand tapping into this boomer market - a reduced need for space,housemaintenance, and the cost tomaintain single family home infavour of something smaller and simpler.With today’s amenity richneighbourhoods, condo living is much more social and convenientwith added benefits of an active life. It has become a mecca for

developers to bring retail shops, exercise facilities, amenities, and even golf courses just outside theirdoorstep. So downsizing doesn’t mean you have to downgrade, think of this as transitioning into‘living large’ - a better, bigger life.Jenny Wun has helped hundreds of downsizers understand the many options available of simplifiedliving. Let Jenny help you transition into this new stage in life.

Q. What is the biggest challenge today for thosebaby boomers or downsizers?

Q. Should I receive theflu shot?Andhoweffective is it?

A. The number one cause of illness and death amongst the elderly(over 65) is theflu orflu-related complications, such as pneumonia.Themore individuals that receive theflu shot, the less likely it is that elderlypeople will be overtaken by the virus. Furthermore, if you have anychronic medical conditions such as heart disease, diabetes or asthma,you may be susceptible to more serious complications from the fluvirus. So yes, everyone should receive a flu shot, unless you have hada serious allergic reaction to a vaccine in the past. A lot of individualsare scared that they will get the flu from the flu shot, however this is

impossible.You may experience flu-like symptoms, such as a headache and slight fever that usuallylasts 3 -7 days, but it is important to note that this is not the actual flu - it is just your body reactingto the vaccine. The first time you receive the vaccine this reaction may be more pronounced, butafter that your body should become accustomed and you won’t experience the flu-like symptoms.

There are a number of different strains of the flu virus that may be floating around in any givenyear. The flu vaccine is supposed to contain the 3 most prominent strains of the flu virus, howeversome years the scientists who develop the vaccine may get it wrong, resulting in the vaccine notcontaining the most prominent strains. On a good year, the flu vaccine prevents the flu by 75-80%,and on a bad year this number reduces to about 20-35%. If you have any questions or would like toreceive a flu shot, please stop by Target Pharmacy with no appointment necessary.

Q. Won’t wearing a hearing aid make mestandout?

A.While you are no doubt concerned about

appearance, compensating for a hearing loss by

asking people to repeat themselves, inappropriately

responding to people (or not responding at all),

or even withdrawing from social situations is more

obvious than wearing a hearing aid.

Today’s hearing aids are small, discreet andmore stylish than ever before.

Someare even invisible.And, chances are that once youhave

A. Designating a beneficiary to your RRSP or RRIF is a goodidea, however, there are cases where designating it to yourestate is the better option. Consider your options carefully,as probate avoidance could result in some overall savings,

but has the potential to create problems and strain relationsamongst your children.

For example, if you have $400,000 in non-registered assets with a $200,000 capitalgain and a $200,000 RRSP, a common mistake would to be to make one child the directbeneficiary of the RRSP, and divide the rest of your estate equally between the 2nd and3rd child. The misconception is that this will leave each child with an equal portion ofyour assets.However, upon your death, your estate will be responsible for paying the income taxeson the RRSP, the capital gain from your investments, and any probate fees. Because therewill be no withholding tax on the payment of your RRSP assets, this leaves the 2nd and3rd child with the entire burden of your estate’s income taxes. The result – one childreceives the intended $200,000, while the other two receive significantly less, down to$130,000 each depending on marginal tax rates and provincial probate fees.Beneficiary issues are complicated and sensitive. If you have any questions or concerns oninequitable treatment of heirs, Iwould be happy to help.

Q. I am a single parent with non-registered assets, an RRSP,and 3 adult children.What is the best way to ensure allmy children inherit an equal portion of my assets?

Q. Howcome Implants cost somuch?A. Dental implants act to replace missing teeth, andprovide natural appearance and function. Through theuse of dental implants we can preserve and improvethe health of your mouth, its bite, and level of boneas well as the surrounding tissue. Research shows thata healthy mouth affects our overall health, not onlythrough proper chewing and digestion but alsoa sense of overallwell - being derived from confidence

in social settings and ability to communicate.Dental implant treatment has provided us with the ability to help our patientswho have lost their natural teeth. The science of implant dentistry is complex andrequires a great deal of continuing education on the part of the doctor and teammembers in addition to expensive instruments and materials. Our goal is alwaysto provide the safest and most cost effective treatment to patients, using the besttechnology andmaterials to provide a long lasting result.We think our patients areworth the time and investment we have made to ensure we can deliver this highlevel of care.Is this the right investment for you?

At the chamber’sannual general meeting,the BBOT submitted reso-lutions looking to addressthe shortage of skilledworkers in Canada’seconomy and the need fora labour market impactassessment exemption forforeign workers in the filmand television industry.

The board also co-spon-sored a resolution fromthe Richmond Chamberof Commerce that recom-mended steps to managethe Lower Fraser Riverand “ensure the continu-ous flow of commerce toand from the Asia-Pacific

market.”While the film industry

resolution was narrowlydefeated, the other twowere approved by theCanadian chamber mem-bers, who collectively rep-resent 200,000 businessesnationwide.

The resolutions havebeen adopted as formalpolicy positions, and thechamber will pursue theissues with the federalgovernment in the comingmonths.

The BBOT also assured,in a statement, that thefilm industry resolution isstill a major concern andthe board “will continue toadvocate strongly to pro-tect B.C. and Canada’s filmand television industryfrom the negative impactsof recent federal regulationchanges.”

2014 Ford Fiesta EcoBoost: Nimble economy

Design:Ford’s smallest vehicle

remains a happy-lookinglittle thing, with a grillesomewhat reminiscent ofan Aston Martin. However,I wouldn’t count on anyonebeing fooled into thinkingthis scrappy little hatchbackwas blue-blood royalty.

The SE model designa-tion means this particularflavour of Fiesta comeswith 15-inch steel wheelsand hubcaps, and itsdiminutive shape is pureeconomy car. However,it’s a handsome little car,with clean lines and a well-formed silhouette.

The grille, the hood, theheadlights and the taillightsare all updated for the 2014model year for all Fiestas.Overall, it’s an improve-ment.

EnvironmentThe Fiesta is reasonably

snug on the inside too.However, you’d not call itan econobox. The plasticsare moulded in a pleasingpattern, and the fabric cov-ering the seats looks like itshould be durable.

Space in the back istight, as you’d expect for asubcompact, but the Fiestais larger than others inits class, and a workablefour-seater (add in a fifthpassenger and you mightas well all sign up to enterclown college). The trunk isa useful 422 litres, and youcan of course fold all theseats down to carry largeritems.

Up front, the Fiesta hasa fairly basic control layout,with buttons and digitalreadouts that would putyou in mind of an early2000s flip-phone. It’s notthe most stylish executionin the world, and comparedto the colour screens avail-able as an option on higher-trim Fiestas, it’s fairly basicin operation. The singlecentral joystick just feels a

bit flimsy, and the screenreadout is of a size that youshould really only navigatewhen pulled over.

However, the audioworks fine once you’ve gotit all set up, and there areplenty of power outletsand storage cubbies. As anoptional extra, this Fiestaalso had heated seats andautomatic climate control.

PerformanceLopping off a cyl-

inder and bolting on aturbo gives the EcoBoost-equipped Fiesta a rela-tively peppy 123hp and asolid 148lb/ft of torque.Considering all this poweris coming from just 1.0L ofdisplacement – the smallestengine Ford makes – that’sactually quite impressive.

Moreover, it’s nearly athird more torque than thestandard 1.6L engine andmost of that’s available atvery low rpm.

Getting off the very lightclutch, the Fiesta’s littlethree-pot engine grumbles

at first, and then immedi-ately surges into boost witha strong pull.

It’s only offered with a5-speed manual transmis-sion, one with gear-spacingset up for maximizing high-

way fuel economy ratherthan the slick-shifting closeratio box you get in itssportier cousin, the ST.

Still, it’s quite good funto keep the turbo-three onthe boil, and the low-end

response makes the Fiestaeasily capable of keepingup with traffic, handlingonramps, and dispatchinghills with ease.

Fiesta: A fun little drive from the Ford Motor Company’s smallest engine

All Fiestas are prettygood to drive, and despitenot having a sport-tunedsuspension or lightweightalloy wheels, the EcoBoostversion is actually quitegood fun. Down hereat the entry level end ofthe market, most of thevehicles have a certaincharm in the challenge itusually is to drive themhard enough to stay outof everyone’s way, but theFiesta actually feels sub-stantial.

Around town, it’s a

nimble little thing, and thethree-cylinder’s fat torqueband means you’ll be dis-patching stop and go withease. It’s comfortable andquiet.

On the highway, theFiesta’s small car rootsstart showing – it’s per-fectly acceptable in termsof wind-noise and ridequality, but that light-weight feel does impart aslight nervousness to thehandling as speeds rise ifthere’s much in the way ofcrosswinds. However, asa long-distance commuter,the extra low-end spool of

the turbo means you neednot downshift for hills, aslower-torque four-cylin-ders might demand.

FeaturesBeing set up as a fuel-

miser, the Fiesta is onlyaccidentally a hoot todrive; while there are afew options available, it’smostly targeted at a mar-ket segment that’s watch-ing their bottom line, sothere’s not much in theway of luxuries.

The $500 comfort pack-age gives heated seatsup front and automatic

climate control, and alongwith a full power groupfor the windows and doorlocks, means that all theessentials are covered. Theaudio system has USB con-nectivity and Bluetoothstreaming audio as stan-dard, and the headlightsare automatic.

So, everything youneed, and then there’s thatfuel economy. Even withmixed-mileage downgrad-ed to 5.5L/100 km , withFord’s new figures, it rep-resents nearly a litre per100 km improvement overthe 1.6L engine that’s stan-

dard. Better gas economyand more available torque?Sounds like a win-win.

However, assumingyou put 20,000 km a yearon your car, that’s only asavings of $300 a year atour current $1.50/L pric-ing versus shelling out$1,295 for the optionalEcoBoost, but environ-mentally friendly. And themore you drive, the moreyou save.

However, the manual-only option might limitthis car to the highwaywarrior, rather than theurban commuter who

wants an automatic to dealwith traffic.

Green LightNimble handling; good

low-end torque; very goodfuel economy; well put-together interior.

Stop SignLight feel on the high-

way; manual-only avail-ability; fussy multi-buttoninterface.

Checkered FlagA fun little drive from

Ford’s smallest engine.

SECTION COORDINATOR Tom Berridge, 604-444-3022 • [email protected]

Moscrop girls No. 2 at MainlandsThe Moscrop Panthers got the

win they wanted at the LowerMainland quad A high schoolgirls’ volleyball championships.

The five-time Burnaby/NewWestminster district champi-ons placed runner-up followinga 3-1 loss to top-ranked Argylein the zone championships atHandsworth on Saturday.

But it was a marathon five-settiebreak win over the host and No.4-ranked Royals that may wellhave been the most important winof the day.

“I’m glad that we beat the teamthat we needed to beat in thesemis,” said Moscrop coach KimOr. “Now we can breathe a sighof relief as we prepare for theAAAAs in Cranbrook.”

The win may also prove togive the former eighth-rankedPanthers a higher seeding at theprovincials, Or added.

The semifinal match was athriller from start to finish, withMoscrop coming out on top fol-lowing an 18-16 win in the tie-breaker.

The Panthers took a close open-ing set 25-23. Ernestine Tiamzonled the way with six kills andtwo blocked shots, while IsabellaCheung added four kills and oneservice ace for Moscrop.

Handsworth came back to tiewith a 25-18 win in set 2, butMoscrop kept the pressure onwith a comeback 25-21 win in thefollowing set.

Trailing 15-10 in the third set,Tiamzon turned things aroundwith the first of her five kills inthe set.

Moscrop was leading the fourthset 21-18 at one point but eventu-ally lost 25-23 despite an eight-killouting by Cheung.

In the tiebreak, Cheung talliedtwo of her 26 total kills to gain thefinal two game-winning points,while Tiamzon finished with 18winners overall.

Marija Bojanic teamed up with

Elianna Guo for two of her threeblocks in the fifth and final set,while adding an ace that madethe score 7-4 and a kill that putMoscrop ahead 13-10.

“It’s a pretty big win. Our goalwas to get into the provincials,and we made it,” said Tiamzonafter the game. “I think every kill

we get motivates us to do better.We see each other getting better.… The thing is we just have tokeep calm and go on to the nextpoint.”

Burnaby North finished sixthoverall at the Mainlands followinga 3-0 loss to Winston Churchill.

New Westminster and wild-

card Burnaby South failed to getout of the pool round.

The 4A girls’ provincials takeplace in Cranbrook from Nov. 27to 29.

The Moscrop junior girls placedthird at the Vancouver and Districtvolleyball championships to alsoearn a spot at the provincials.

Boys bounced outBurnaby schools were shut out

of this season’s B.C. AAA boys’volleyball championships.

Both district championBurnaby North and runner-upMoscrop made it through to thechampionship round, but neithergot past the quarter-finals at theLower Mainland tournament atSteveston-London Secondary inRichmond last week.

North failed to earn a provin-cial berth, losing a tough five-settiebreaker to David Thompson onNov. 13. Moscrop also lost, drop-ping a 3-0 decision to the hostschool. North and Moscrop bothplaced third in their respectivepools.

“We definitely have the skilllevel and I believe we definitelycould have played better on Day 1or 2, but it just wasn’t our week,”said North coach Allen Tsang.“I feel that the competition inVancouver is more competitivethan what we have in Burnaby.… Not only do they have moreof a competitive league, a lot ofthe kids there play in club volley-ball programs, which allows themmore touches to the ball, and in acrucial five-set match those touch-es do play into account, especiallyin critical moments.”

North finished undefeated inleague play, winning a tourna-ment in Seaquam, while earninga ninth provincial ranking thisseason.

“I told my boys that they willhave to come back next year morehungry to compete for a provin-cial berth and prove that we havea good program here at North,”Tsang added.

Net affect: Isabella Cheung, 14, and Natalie Yu helpedMoscrop place second at the Lower Mainland 4A girls’ volleyballchampionships in North Vancouver last week.

Soccer Clan stopped in first-round playoff

Simon Fraser Universitywas stopped short of athird consecutive trip tothe NCAA men’s soccerFinal Four.

The varsity Clan lostits first-round matchupwith Great Northwestconference foe NorthwestNazarene 1-0 in a neutral-site playoff game at SeattlePacific University on Nov.13.

Red-shirt freshmanmidfielder MarshallHartley scored the onlygoal of the game in the23rd minute for NorthwestNazarene to send the No.5-seeded Clan home earlyafter reaching the DivisionII semifinals in each of thepast two seasons.

“History would tell usthat one goal is not usuallyenough to beat those guys(SFU), but we’ve real-ized just how exceptionalwe are defensively,” said

Nazarene head coach CoeMichaelson in a Clan pressrelease.

SFU came into the gameon a six-game winningstreak, scoring 11 goals inits last four games.

“The game character-ized our entire season,”said SFU head coach AlanKoch in the release. “Wedidn’t show up for thefirst 30 minutes and con-ceded a goal, and then itwasn’t until we woke upand started to impose our

will on them that we tookcontrol.”

The Clan dominatedthe second half, outshoot-ing the Great Northwestregular season runner-up9-1 and 15-8 overall.

Mateo Espinosa hadperhaps SFU’s best chanceto score, pouncing on aloose ball in the box in the70th minute, but his 12-yard shot deflected wideoff the foot of a sprawlingAlfredo Ontiveros in theNazarene net.

Joel Malouf also hada good oportunity to tiethe game up on a crossin front late in the game.With five minutes left toplay, Malouf just missedthe goal on a 14-yard vol-ley from the centre of thebox.

“We showed the desireto get the job done, and wecreated opportunities, buttheir keeper made someoutstanding saves andwe ran out of time,” saidKoch.

The three days of rac-ing will include a full pro-gram of Olympic sprintand endurance events forCanada’s up-and-comingyoung men and womenriders, including keirin,individual and team sprint-and pursuit, Madison andoverall omnium racing.

The Barnet Drive velo-drome was chosen asthe venue for the juniornationals after the comple-tion date for the scheduledtrack in Milton, Ont. wasdelayed.

The velodrome playedhost to the junior nats backin 2009, when the u-17 divi-sion was first offered.

“It’s like a homecom-ing,” said event organizerand velodrome program-director Kelyn Akuna.

It is also a testatmentto the growth in the juniorranks, with more ridersregistered at these nation-als than in the past fiveyears, Akuna added.

Considered one of themost exciting cycle tracksin North America becauseof its short, 200-metre dis-tance and steep 47-degreebanking, the Burnaby trackoffers spectators a morethrilling perspective thanlarger, outdoor ovals.

“It’s a dry run for us forour 4Day, which is com-ing up in December. Butour big focus is our youthprograms that run everyMonday and Wednesday,”Akuna said.

Racing is scheduled tostart on Friday, beginningat 2 p.m.

Saturday racing ses-sions begin at 9:30 a.m. and4 p.m. Sunday finals alsobegin at 9:30 a.m.
