A PHD IN DECOMPOSITION

Jordan wants papers

Delving into death H

er field is called forensic taphonomy, the study and interpretation of the changes that occur to human remains from the point of death to discovery at crime scenes, and Sgt. Diane Cockle is the world’s first to earn a PhD examining the progression of human decomposition in Canada. Cockle started as an archaeologist and now works with the RCMP’s National Forensic Identification Support Services. She recently graduated ON MY BEAT from SFU, with a PhD Jennifer Moreau in forensic anthropology from the department of archaeology. Her thesis project was on forensic taphonomy. Question: So, tell me a bit about what you do? Answer: I work as a special crime scene investigator for the National Forensic Identification Support Services section in Vancouver B.C. For the most part, I help police agencies in B.C. and the Yukon with homicide scenes where there’s a need to analyze and interpret the blood stains at a homicide scene, or with the recovery of human remains from an outdoor scene. As a bloodstain pattern analyst, I examine the two-dimensional bloodstains created by the trauma inflicted on a victim by a suspect, in order to reconstruct what happened. Q: What kind of things can you figure out by analyzing a body? A: A body will look different depending on whether it decomposed, inside, outside, in water or in a burial. Now that this research has been completed, we can say for the first time whether or not a body has been moved from one scene to another. This Death Page 8

Burnaby Coun. Colleen Jordan said it’s been five years of back and forth letter writing with the province, and she’s still no closer to solving the mystery of the missing breakdown costs associated with the 2006 business case for the Evergreen Line. In 2008, city staff raised the alarm over the stark differences between TransLink’s 2006, The Case for the Evergreen Line, report and a business case published only two years later – not only were the numbers different, but the earlier case called for Light Rail Transit technology over a SkyTrain line. The 2006 case from TransLink recommended light rail and projected the cost at $0.97 billion. But following that report, the Evergreen Line went under the provincial government’s jurisdiction, and in 2008, the province and TransLink came up with a report recommending a SkyTrain line into Coquitlam connecting at Lougheed Town Centre – then the price estimate went up to $1.25 billion. The 29 per cent cost escalation was never given an explanation, so council wrote to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure for one in 2011. When council asked about the breakdown costs for the light rail technology from the 2006 case, the response was surprising. “They lost it,” she said. Evergreen Line Page 10

10 MLA seeks office

Cold shoulder doesn’t deter gallery boosters Taking charge:

Stefania Seccia

The advocacy group for a new Burnaby art gallery includes, from left, Brian Daniel, Irene McCutcheon and Bill Thomson

staff reporter

Despite the underwhelming response received from council during Monday’s delegation, the Burnaby Arts Council is still moving forward in hopes of making a new state-of-the-art facility a reality. Arts council director Irene McCutcheon and vice-president Brian Daniel appeared before city council on June 17 and made their case for a new art gallery – something they have been waiting for since 1973. McCutcheon, who is an artist herself, said she was disappointed by some of the responses that came from council but was overall appreciative of the outcome. “I think it went very well. They were very considerate of us, really,” she said. “We were able to answer some of the things that needed to be answered about all the sports facilities and a sense of balance between the arts and sports in community life.” Councillors Sav Dhaliwal and Pietro Calendino said the city was meeting the needs of the arts community, and that a new art gallery would burden the taxpayers. “It’s a hurdle,” McCutcheon said. “Always trying to think of where the best place to spend the money is – really the arts are another part of our human being, and we really need to foster that, either in music, drama, dance art – in this case we’re wanting to get another art gallery. After that, we should have a civic theatre too.” Although the group is going back to the drawing board and strategizing its next move, McCutcheon said they’d like to start building relationships with the business community. “We’d like to meet with the Burnaby Board of Trade and get business on our side,” she said.

It’ll be much arts council, was present at the like the presentation we gave to council meeting on Monday but council, it’s all set so we can do it was not part of the delegation. again.” He said council’s response McCutcheon noted that didn’t surprise him.

imagination and creativity that it’ll actually benefit the city to invest in.” Thomson said the group’s strategy is a work in progress. “There’s a lot of different issues running through this,” he said. “Somehow, we feel that historically the pendulum has swung too much toward sports and recreation areas and less toward culture.” Thomson also said he wants to know the city’s long-term plan for culture and art. Dave Ellenwood, Burnaby’s director of parks, recreation and cultural services, said the new art gallery would mean a big bill for the city. “Council and (the parks, recreation and cultural services community) commission admire the passion of the new gallery advocacy group, and I share that opinion,” Ellenwood said in an email to the NOW. “As some councillors have expressed to them already, it is, however, a very expensive

proposition for taxpayers to foot the bill for a new gallery.” Ellenwood said many community members request new facilities all the time, and the city has a vast range of them to operate, maintain and budget for. “So we have to consider the request within this context, which is likely why council has not moved forward on a new gallery,” he said. “I also think our staff do a great job exhibiting the collection in the existing facility and at our libraries, and we will work to get the collection shown more often in more locations throughout Burnaby in future.” But one thing they can all side on is not knowing why or how the art gallery never became a reality, after receiving so much support and feasibility plans in the ‘70s and ‘90s. Ellenwood said it could be related to the changing councils and shifting priorities. Otherwise, the advocacy group intends to push forward for a new gallery amidst the numerous recreational and sports facilities. McCutcheon said she doesn’t understand the imbalance between sports and the art in Burnaby. “It’s not going to cost that much to build an art gallery is it?” she said, when comparing costs of other multi-million dollar facilities in the city. “Operational costs, they seem to dive into that a lot. All our fields, all our sports centres all need to be maintained. No one considers that a cost like they do an art gallery. I don’t understand that imbalance.”

Conservatives reject city MP’s e-petition plan Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Kennedy Stewart’s motion to bring online petitions into the House of Commons has met some opposition, after two Conservative MPs rejected the idea last week. According to Stewart, MP for BurnabyDouglas, a Conservative that sits on a par6

liamentary standing committee that deals with House procedures and another Tory MP rejected the idea while the motion was debated on June 12. “The government’s position was pretty lame. They are going to oppose it because they say it constrains the (parliamentary) committee too much,” Stewart said. “They are just looking for an excuse to oppose it. … They don’t say they oppose electronic

petition or any parts of the motion, they just say the committee feels that I’m directing them too much in the motion. … I’ve never heard that excuse before.” Stewart’s motion calls for the government to study the idea of accepting electronic petitions and consider having an hour of debate in the House if the petitions garner a minimum number of signatures. Currently, the House only accepts paper

20-YEAR BRENTWOOD REDEVELOPMENT PLAN COVERS 28-ACRE SITE IN BURNABY

First phase sees busy corner become a plaza Stefania Seccia staff reporter

Brentwood Town Centre is putting up its under construction sign this summer, and the mall’s owners are both excited and curious to see what happens next. Fifty-two years after its grand opening, the mall is about to undergo a complete metamorphosis as Shape Properties’ vision of the area takes form. The master plan states the redevelopment is divided into four phases and will include 10 residential towers, possibly ranging from 20 to 70 storeys and two office towers ranging from 30 to 40 storeys. The design includes a redeveloped commercial centre, a 50,000square-foot food store and a variety of outdoor spaces. The anticipated number of residential units is between 2,000 and 4,200, which could house about 8,400 people. Shape Properties acquired the mall in 2010. The company’s executive vice-president of acquisitions and development, Darren Kwiatkowski, says it’s an exciting endeavour. “We’re going to start moving on-site services out of the way of phase one this summer, with construction and excavation targeted to start early next year,” Kwiatkowski said in a phone interview, adding that, officially, how many phases will be involved is yet to be determined. “The 28-acre site is to be built over 20 years. We have some flexibility in the phasing.” Kwiatkowski also said

the redevelopment is going to breathe new life into the area. “I think it’s very exciting that it will create a social heart for the community,” he said. “Right now, the site naturally is the commercial core. As it sits today, you have a busy roadway next to a large parking lot with the mall at the back of the property.” The first phase entails the eight acres at the front corner of the site, which includes a community plaza that’s about one acre in size, according to Kwiatkowski. “It really becomes a focal point for the community,” he said. “Imagine, as you drive up Willingdon (Avenue), this blank empty corner takes on a life … it seamlessly ties into the SkyTrain.” Kwiatkowski likened the area to an “urban outdoor living room.” “It’s a unique opportunity,” he added. “Here, you walk off the SkyTrain and it’s seamless, you’re in the middle of development – a line with restaurants, outdoor shops.” He said the site ties in with the new bus stops, as the bus loop on Willingdon Avenue is being replaced by on-street stops around the mall and SkyTrain. “We’re fortunate, the natural nature of the site is so powerful (and) what we’re planning there is going to be extraordinary,” he said. “It’s going to be a great amenity to the neighbourhood and to North Burnaby.” As for tenant feedback within the mall,

New plaza:

Work is starting on the first phase of the new Brentwood Town Centre this summer, beginning with a new plaza near the SkyTrain and two towers between 20 to 70 storeys high. Contributed image/burnaby now

Kwiatkowski said the overall sentiment has been positive. “The tenants there have been expecting this, just like the neighbourhood, since the city had the area plan in place so long ago,” he said. “A lot of tenants are there because they’ve been hoping this day was coming – that it would be revitalized, new and expanding.” Although Kwiatkowski admitted to some disruption during the construction phase, he said the site is large enough that it can be accommodated. “We can hoard off the phase in the area, and with signage and enhancements on other areas, keep the experience good,” he said. “Part of that is, as you go to the site today, the periph-

eries of the site, there are parking lots that are not very well utilized, where they will be much more utilized during construction, as the parking lot at the front is closed.” Phase one will also include the former gas station at the corner of Willingdon and Lougheed Highway. “I think we will also be curious, seeing as to what’s going on,” he said. “We’ll hoard it off, keep quiet, keep the dust down … enhance entrances that will be more popular now.” He said the changing access points for parking will be a benefit. As far as consulting with the neighbours, Shape hasn’t formally heard from the public since a public

votes on my side of the house with the NDP, and I also have all the Liberal votes, as well. I really am sure that (Green party leader) Elizabeth May and the Bloc will support it. That means I only need

to get a few backbenchers from the Conservatives to split off from their party and get this passed. I already have two, so I only need eight more. That’s really my work this summer, to talk individually with these Conservatives backbenchers.” While it’s rare for private mem-

bers’ motions to pass in the House of Commons, Stewart said they are often subject to free votes, meaning parties do not dictate how their MPs will vote. For more information, go to bet terpetitions.ca. jmoreau@burnabynow.com

we have (four pools), nine community centres, two pitch and putts, two 18-hole golf courses, 159 parks, 40 softball fields, 87 tennis courts, 20 baseball diamonds, 23 basketball courts, a rowing pavilion, a soccer stadium …’ And, they noted, we have one art gallery in a building that is less than ideal. The city’s arts council is not in a unique situation. Sports trumps art in many cities nowadays. Taxpayers push for more soccer fields, pools, ice rinks, but places to view art? It’s easy for politi-

cians to ignore – particularly ones who favour golf over Van Gogh. Some cities, such as Surrey, took a longer and wider view and created vibrant multi-use arts centres, which incorporated their art gallery. Kudos to them. Burnaby missed the boat years ago when it didn’t incorporate a new gallery into the civic square or the Shadbolt Centre. The city needs to revisit the situation, make good on its pledges, or, at the very least, provide some definite closure for the arts folks who dream on.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Liberals already making waves Dear Editor:

Re: Nurses blast Fraser Health for wheelchair charge plan, June 19. I’m sure in any other jurisdiction, this would be something of a record; cabinet had only been officially sworn into office for a single day and already the B.C. Liberal government was manufacturing new controversies around itself. The scandals du jour are in regards to massive pay hikes to advisors loyal to the premier, though those have since been cancelled, and new fees for senior citizens to use wheelchairs in their retirement communities. In fact, given that MLA Vicki Huntington received

a letter of complaint regarding the wheelchair tax as of June 6, today’s B.C. Liberals somehow managed to create a governance scandal before they were officially sworn into government. This is what the new austerity budget will look like, brought to you by the ever smiling face of our premier, possibly during another government announcement dressed up as part of her permanent campaign. They promised a balanced budget, and now we see how it will be created; by taxing seniors and forcing them to pay for equipment essential to their health and mobility needs. For those who hoped that Christy Clark’s Liberals would be softer and kinder, this is a terrible start

B.C. dodged NDP bullet

Settlement funding tripled

Dear Editor:

Re: Jane Shin speaks, Burnaby NOW, May 24. I find it disconcerting that no one has picked up on something significant and very revealing in what Jane Shin said to reporter Jennifer Moreau regarding her candidate biography. Shin said she received “recommendations” on how to word her candidate biography. Oh really! I think it’s safe to assume these “recommendations” were given to Shin by her NDP handlers and campaign managers. It appears that Shin deliberately and knowingly doctored her bio by omitting certain information, and she was apparently encouraged to do so by her NDP handlers. The people of British Columbia managed to dodge a bullet on election night. We were spared the disaster that NDP governance and economic mismanagement always bring to our province. The people of Burnaby-Lougheed, however, were not so lucky.

We would like to address concerns raised by some in the settlement sector that the Government of Canada is eliminating funding for programs that help newcomers integrate and successfully participate in our communities. Nothing could be further from the truth. The fact is, the Government of Canada has actually tripled settlement funding across Canada since 2005/06, from less than $200 million to approximately $600 million in 2013/14. This includes an increase from $39.5 million in 2005/06 to $100.6 million in 2013/14 for immigrants in British Columbia. In 2014/15, the Government of Canada will begin administering federal funding for settlement services in British Columbia as we do for every other province in the country. To help immigrants succeed, the Government of Canada wants to ensure that a similar level of settlement services is available regardless of where newcomers choose to settle. Newcomers will continue to have access to important federally-funded settlement services including language classes, employment assistance, information and orientation sessions, among many other services. The Government of British Columbia will, of course, continue to administer provincial settlement funding however it sees fit. The Government of Canada is committed to improving outcomes for newcomers and, as evidenced by increases in federal settlement funding, we remain committed to helping newcomers succeed.

Practising MDs go by Dr. Dear Editor:

Re: Get over issues with Shin, Letters to the editor, Burnaby NOW, June 5. Barbara Ruebottom is missing the point(s). Yes, people with doctorates can refer to themselves as doctors, but in the real world, most choose not to unless they are practising medical doctors. Combined with the account she and her team sent to newsrooms for public dissemination that suggests she was a practising MD who received a doctorate from UBC rather than some school in the Caribbean … Well, not all of us can so eas-

Media: Should tell truth continued from page 6

As bad as Duffy and Wallin are in cheating us out of our hard-earned money, cheating people out of the truth and honest reporting is, in my opinion, much worse. As the poet Lord Alfred Tennyson put it, “Cursed be the lies that warp us from the living truth” or – as we were warned by George Orwell in his

books Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four about government surveillance – Big Brother, media control and brainwashing. Recent examples of silencing or cancelling scientific government research or withholding it from the media, and public scrutiny by the Harper government is a crime. Relying on the courage of whistleblowers to

get at the truth is only an unfortunate alternative. We have much to be concerned about. Duffy and Wallin are just the tip of the iceberg and small, though significant, part of the problem.

Death: Sgt. Cockle is called to most murder scenes in B.C. continued from page 1

information will help crime scene investigators determine, for example, whether a body discovered on the bank of the river was washed in from the river or placed there from the land, hoping the river would take it. Q: Can you explain why this work is so important, especially with respect to wrongful convictions? A: One of the main purposes of forensic taphonomy is to determine what changes to the body were caused by nature – natural decomposition, scavenging, insect activity – and what changes were caused by the suspect around the time of death. There is a risk of wrongful convictions when trauma caused by scavengers – teeth marks or tears – are misinterpreted as cut marks and stabs. Q: What drew you to this? A: As a professional archaeologist, I always enjoyed the challenge of putting together what happened in the distant past with the artifacts that were discovered at a site. What drew me to the RCMP was the fact that I could use those same skills to reconstruct what happened at a crime scene and contribute to today’s society in a relevant and positive way. Q: I suspect most people would be repulsed by decomposing bodies. How do you handle that? A: People are often repulsed by what they don’t understand. A decomposed body is not some-

thing that most people have to deal with, so they are shocked by the visible state and smell of the body because it’s unfamiliar to them. I understand the biological processes which decompose us, and I’m used to the sight and smell of it; not that it makes it any more pleasant, it just makes it less shocking. Q: How would you describe your relationship or attitude towards death, given that you work so closely with the subject? A: In a bizarre way, it’s a healthy relationship. I know only too well what unexpected and tragic ways death can come to us. I use that as a motivator to ensure that I never postpone, and I don’t pass up an opportunity or experience. Q: I understand you are called to most murder scenes and found bodies in B.C., and you’ve also worked on some high profile cases, like the missing women investigation at the Pickton farm. What was that like? A: The fact that all the scenes I attend are homicides certainly adds pressure. I have to make sure that I’m always on my game, I can never have an off day, and any mistakes that I make have serious consequences. I try very hard not to make any mistakes! Q: How did your work influence your PhD pursuits? A: I think my experience as a crime scene examiner helped me during my PhD. For both, you need to be meticulous, detail-oriented and completely obsessive compulsive.

Q: And you’ve also been to Rwanda to work as a forensic investigator on war crimes cases? What was that like? A: Going to Rwanda was fascinating. I feel like I have a real connection to that country, the conflict, and all the Rwandans who have survived it and are trying to move past it. Whenever you travel to places like Rwanda, I come home to B.C. and Canada with a greater appreciation of the life I live and the country I live in. Q: How do you stay sane? A: I have a very understanding husband – very understanding. I try to split myself into two people: the normal off-duty me that hides her eyes at the squeamish parts in movies and faints at the sight of her own blood, and the crime scene investigator who cannot be grossed out and can handle any manner of gruesome scene. The key is to keep those two people from ever meeting each other at the scene or at home. Q: What’s next for you? A: I plan on taking the results of my research to the crime scene examiners to give them another tool in their scene toolbox. I am continuing my research on human decomposition. I’ll be going up to the Yukon this summer to start a project looking at the differences between decomposition in the south versus the north in Canada. The focus for this summer however, is to reclaim some free time to reintegrate myself back into normal society after this seven-and-a-half year mental marathon (to finish the PhD).

Larry Wright/burnaby now

At work: Sgt. Diane Cockle with some of the camera

equipment she uses at crime scenes. Cockle specializes in blood splatter analysis, and she’s an expert in studying the decomposition of human bodies, looking at clues to shed light on what happens to a body from the time of death till discovery. She also just earned a PhD in taphonomy, the study of decomposition.

Burnaby’s newest MLA has been sworn in and is now searching for a location to set up shop. Jane Shin, NDP MLA for BurnabyLougheed, is looking for a suitable location for an office, now that she has access to a constituency allowance, according to Stuart Alcock her temporary assistant. “It’s a work in progress,” Alcock said. New MLAs can sometimes take over the lease of outgoing MLAs, but

in the case of Burnaby-Lougheed, Alcock said Harry Bloy’s old office will be a construction site for the new Evergreen Line. MLAs get a base taxpayer-funded salary of $101,859 per year, and they also receive $119,000 annually, to cover staff wages and operating expenses. Shin is currently looking for a constituency assistant, as Alcock is only helping out temporarily. Meanwhile, NDP incumbents Kathy Corrigan and Raj Chouhan and Liberal Richard Lee have settled back in their old offices, which were running at reduced hours dur-

ing the election period. Chouhan’s office is still at 5234 Rumble St., and Corrigan also kept her old location at 5172 Kingsway. Lee’s office is still at 1833 Willingdon Ave. Shin’s MLA email, jane.shin.mla@leg.bc.ca, is now active. NDP leader Adrian Dix announced his shadow cabinet on June 14. Shin was named deputy critic for small business, tourism, arts and culture. Corrigan kept her post as public safety and solicitor general critic, and Chouhan took a new post as assistant deputy speaker. Lee is still the parliamentary secretary for the Asia Pacific strategy.

Evergreen: Breakdown costs missing continued from page 1

“TransLink lost it. I still can’t believe it.” Kevin Richter, then assistant deputy minister of the infrastructure department, responded one year later. “TransLink did an extensive search for this information but was unable to locate the breakdown of costs associated with LRT technology from the 2006 business case,” Richter stated in his May 30, 2012 letter to council. He said the increased cost from the 2006 case was due to the construction cost start for 2007, while the 2008 case was based on a 2010 start. “The 32-month shift in an overheated construction market created an escalation of costs that significantly contributed to the overall costs of construction,” Richter stated. Council had also approached the auditor general but was told

It’s only fair.” Jordan noted that she hasn’t had the chance to speak with her colleagues on what to do next. She said council could present the issue to the official opposition to try to get the discrepancy raised in the legislature. When the NOW asked after the 2006 business case from TransLink, the transit authority said it was a provincial issue and they did not comment. The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure said the 2006 case was reviewed by the auditor general. Evergreen Line construction has started and its projected cost is $1.43 billion.

One final ride on the engine Fire Chief Shaun Redmond calls it quits after almost 34 years fighting fires Cayley Dobie staff reporter

It’s been almost 34 years since Shaun Redmond first donned his Burnaby fire uniform and hopped on the engine to attend a chimney fire that had broken out in a home on Gilley Avenue. Redmond says he still remembers how he felt during the ride to the scene; his heart was pounding, his pulse quickened and all the while hoping he wouldn’t make any crucial mistakes. Redmond must have done something right that night because in 2011, he was promoted to the highest position in the Burnaby fire department – fire chief. Redmond was hired by the department when he was 22 years old and soon he was out fighting fires and helping people, which is the reason why he applied in the first place. “You get into firefighting because you really want to help people, especially when they need that help,” he says. “For me, personally, the most rewarding part of this job has been able to help people and not always in emergency situations.

have to worry about certification any longer. He plans on enjoying retirement with his wife, who is retiring from her nursing position at Burnaby Hospital. Redmond says he’ll miss riding on the fire truck and helping people in need, but most of all he’ll miss the familial atmosphere within the department. “I enjoyed that camaraderie around the fire stations. I enjoyed that strong sense of teamwork,” he says. Both Redmond, and his replacement, Doug McDonald, deputy fire chief, say that being a firefighter is like becoming part of a family. “It was wonderful to be part of that team, to feel like you’re part of something and working towards a common goal,” Redmond says. The bond that develops between firefighters is one that lasts forever, and Redmond says he hopes he can keep in touch with his co-workers after he retires. As for McDonald, he says he is looking forward to following in Redmond’s shoes and continuing to move the department into the future. “Shaun’s left us in great shape,” McDonald says. Burnaby fire Chief Shaun Redmond will have his walkout ceremony at the number 1 fire station, 4867 Sperling Ave., on June 21 at 10 a.m.

Will play for food: SFU MBA student Richard Loat started the Five Hole for Food street hockey fundraiser in 2010 to collect donations for Canadian food banks.

SFU student Richard Loat, who started the biggest road hockey tournament in Canada, hopes to raise 250,000 pounds of food for food banks across the country Marelle Reid staff reporter

Will you play hockey for food? Canadians from Victoria to St. John’s are going to have a chance to score a goal for their local food banks next month during the fourth annual Five Hole for Food campaign. The biggest road hockey tournament of the year offers everyone a chance to play in a road hockey tournament in exchange for donations to local food banks. Last year, the campaign raised 133,000 pounds of food, and this year another 250,000 pounds of food is expected to be gathered for food banks across the country. SFU student Richard Loat started Five Hole For Food in 2010 after he saw the success of public road hockey tournaments during the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. “We’re trying to build a social movement that is really tapping into the passion that Canadians have for the sport of hockey, and using that as a vehicle for social change, not just in our hometown of Vancouver, but across Canada,” he said. After putting the word out online to start the first tour, Loat managed to round up a team of like-minded fellow bloggers and hockey fanatics across the country who were keen to support the cause. Since then, the campaign has continued to expand each year. Next month, the campaign will kick off its 13-city tour on July 3 in St. John’s, N.L. and end up in Vancouver on July 20, when it will shut down Granville Street for the afternoon. Loat says everyone is welcome to play and all ages and skills levels are encouraged to participate. “On July 20, when we shut down Granville Street, we encourage anyone and everyone from … the Lower Mainland to bring their hockey stick and contribution to the food bank and come out and join us,” he said. Games will be played from noon to 6 p.m. For more information about the campaign or the tournament downtown, visit www.fiveholeforfood.com.

Running to keep hard times at bay

Running man: From

homeless to mentor, Burnaby resident Brendan McLellan is running in his third halfmarathon Sunday to help raise funds for the Union Gospel Mission’s new facility for women and children in the Downtown Eastside.

Cayley Dobie staff reporter

It’s been almost five years since Burnaby resident Brendan McLellan was living on the streets, addicted to drugs and running away from all his problems. Today he’s still running but for a different cause; the Union Gospel Mission, the organization he says saved his life. When the NOW spoke with McLellan nearly two years ago, he was preparing for his first halfmarathon. Since then, he has run two charity half-marathons and has plans to run a third – the Scotiabank half-marathon on Sunday. “I’m sure there will be hard times again, but right now, it just keeps

People were there and reached out to me when I was in my darkest place, and I want to be there for others. Now, life is absolutely fantastic. It just keeps getting better. I used to be so selfish. I’ve given that all up to God and my life is completely transformed.” He is running on the mission’s team, which hopes to raise $50,000. To donate to the team, visit www. ugm.ca/run.

PETS

The importance of a family veterinarian

Over the past number of years, our pets are being regarded more and more as members of our family. More often now pets are given full access to the house as opposed to being just yard dogs or outdoor cats, as has traditionally been the case. The couch, our beds, the car, or the window as a perch to enjoy the view outside, are all fairgame for our pets to position themselves on. From a pets’ perspective, this decade may be the beginning of the golden era for being a pet! This improved pet lifestyle goes hand in hand with the excellent dietary options available, the level of veterinary care that is equivalent to human healthcare in most cases, and the general acceptance of the behavioural and emotional needs of our companion animals. I am always amazed at how much people do for their pets, be it right after adoption or in their older years. No stone is left unturned when it comes to pet care, be it a time-related, financial or emotional investment into making sure our little companions get the best possible care within every family’s resources. We are not just pet-owners anymore, we are pet-parents. The same high standards hold for veterinary teams treating illness or while providing preventive care. I have seen clients carry 80 pound dogs daily up and down a long flight of stairs after major surgery in order to provide adequate “bed rest” to the patient. I know cat parents that have gone through complete home renovations in order to resolve inappropriate behavioural urination problems. Staying up at night with a pet that needs monitoring or with an older pet in discomfort, is more common than most veterinary professionals and paraprofessionals might realize. This is a testament not only to the human animal bond, but also to the strong human spirit and what it can accomplish for loved ones. All such emotional investment and effort put into a member of the family can be very draining for individuals. After all, we all do have our jobs to keep, bills to pay and our own well-being to be mindful of. Unlike in other situations, there is a definite lack of “outside” support to deal with pet illness. Support groups for pet parents undergoing stressful times are practically unheard of. The one avenue of support other than family

and friends would be your veterinarian and veterinary staff members. I truly believe in the concept of having a family veterinarian just as you would have a family doctor or chiropractor. Like other medical professionals, a veterinarian can provide the best healthcare to your pet by knowing them while in good health, by being able to see patterns of certain illness, by knowing the pets’ temperament and by knowing you as a pet parent. They can also be a source of feedback and just listen to your concerns in a time of need, having developed a bond with the pets’ family. As a veterinarian, it is also an absolute pleasure to see a dog or cat go through different life stages, just like our own pets. If you do not have a designated veterinarian that knows and treats your pet, be sure to look at ﬁnding one in your area. Unlike in the human medical world, chances are your pet won’t be turned away or made to wait months before being welcomed as a patient. By Dr. Jangi Bajwa (Dr. Bajwa is a Veterinarian at Hastings Veterinary Hospital in Burnaby and BC’s ﬁrst Veterinary Dermatology Resident.)

1 Week old, Spayed Female, Labrador Retriever, cross Annie has made her way to Burnaby from North Peace where she was found as a stray. She requires a calm, consistent routine with an experienced guardian as she will require time at the beginning to learn her new surroundings and boundaries. She is a young active girl that would be good in an active home.

Battling bathroom habits of narcissistic birds CLICK & CLACK TALK CARS Ray & Tom Magliozzi

Dear Tom and Ray: Every morning when I walk out the door to go to work, there is bird poop all over the sides of my car. Always in the same exact spot.

JUNE 20-24

what’s gotten into the birds that would drive them to destroy the appearance of my vehicle. Any suggestions on how to keep the birds away from my precious black 2007 Ford Fusion? Thanks. – Megan RAY: I think you’ve got some narcissistic birds, Megan. Maybe they’re celebrity birds? TOM: We helped a woman once who had a similar problem. One particular bird could see his reflection in the car

so they can no longer see their reflections … TOM: Or you can make the “perches” less appealing. That’s the way I would go. RAY: You know the birds are sitting on the sideview mirrors. So cover them with something that makes it hard for them to sit there. TOM: Like a Taser? RAY: No. Not nice. I would suggest trying something like kids’ birthday party hats. You know, the cone-shaped hats with

window, so he liked to sit on the mirror and admire himself. RAY: I guess he particularly liked to admire himself after breakfast, because her car looked a lot like yours does. TOM: Actually, we don’t know if he was admiring himself or “hitting on” that pretty bird he “saw” in his reflection. RAY: In any case, you can eliminate the appeal of your car for these birds in one of two ways. You can cover up the windows

the elastic chin straps? Buy a bag of those, and toss them in the car. When you get home at night, put one on top of each side-view mirror. You can even use the elastic bands to hold them in place.

Automakers leaving the past behind FULL THROTTLE Courtney Hansen

oth Ford and Chevrolet have to make a decision and it can’t be an easy one. Where do they take the Mustang and Camaro next? It’s the kind of question that keeps executives staring at the bedroom ceiling at 3 a.m. trying to think of an answer. Other automakers have similar issues. BMW doesn’t dare mess up its 3-series and if Porsche makes a misstep with the 911, there will be heck to pay. Chevrolet has to be careful with the Corvette, but that doesn’t seem to

There are others, but for Americans, the Mustang/Camaro loyalty is the stuff of fist fights. As these loyal buyers get on in age – the people who might have owned a 1960s Mustang, or at least pined for one for decades – Ford and Chevy are giving up younger buyers who don’t really connect with the originals upon which the new retro models are based. And that’s really ironic when you consider that the originals really spoke to a generation of young buyers. So, I guess that leaves two problems, doesn’t it: where do you go after retro; and how do you interest younger (or just more) buyers when you do it? Chevrolet might know, but it’s not sharing what the next Camaro will look like. Just to be clear, I’ve loved the current car since I first saw concept photos

stop the company from making drastic changes. Perhaps that has to do with the fact that the current Corvette has been around for close to a decade, so you can’t really have anything other than drastic changes, hence the gorgeous new 2014 model. The Ford Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro are different, though, because they are what I would call “full-circle cars.” Instead of progressing the brands in new directions, the two automakers chose to cherry-pick the best of the past and create modern interpretations. This is where the term “retro” comes from. We got a very good taste of retro back in the late 1990s with the New Volkswagen Beetle. And although the Chrysler PT Cruiser and the Prowler weren’t based on a given model from the past, they both pulled at our nostalgic heartstrings.

back in 2007, as well as the various models that have been unleashed over the years to keep it fresh, whether it be the convertible, the ZL1 or the upcoming Z/28. Ford has also been adding models to keep the Mustang fresh, from the Boss 302 to the GT 500, and it surely doesn’t want a repeat of the 1974-’78 Mustang II debacle – a car viewed as vastly inferior to its predecessors – so when it finally does break away from the retro theme, for the 2015 model year, it will have to do it in a big way. I suspect the logic goes something like the following. Since the 2005 retro Mustang was launched, there are literally hundreds of thousands of these cars on the road. There’s basically enough supply out there to keep the retro enthusiasts neck deep in cars for decades to come, while aftermarket companies can help them

personalize their rides in whatever manner they like. Forever. If Ford steers clear of the classic look, which it fully intends to do, there will undoubtedly be cries from the faithful, so why do it? The obvious reason? There’s more to gain than lose, or we wouldn’t even be having this conversation. Sales were about 166,500 in 2006 and in 2012 … they were about half that. OK, so what will the new Mustang look like? The Evos concept car is sort of like a bunch of future cars all glued together, but the word is that it will provide the styling inspiration for the new Mustang. One of the things that Ford has to do, at least the way I see it, is build a car so good that the critics will look like bitter fools stuck in the old days if they come down on it. And if the Evos is any indication, the faithful

might actually want the retro version as well as the new 2015 model. Now that would be an interesting business strategy. The Evos looks like a two-door car, but it actually has four and it also has a grille shape that’s similar to cars such as the Fusion sedan. The new Mustang will apparently still have a V8 option (which implies it will be a rear-wheeldrive car), but I’ve seen reports that there will also be a 350-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder as well as a base V6 engine. But the real question is, what do you think, since you hold the keys? What should Ford and Chevy do?

serviced before a road trip, 65 per cent is still low considering that their entire vacation revolves around the reliability of their car,” Ken Cousin, the association’s associate vice-president of Road Assist, said in a press release. As for travel insurance, 73 per cent of respondents say they always ensure they have travel medical coverage for long trips. However, 22 per cent admit they sometimes take short trips across the border without travel medical insurance because they feel nothing will happen during a short time period. That number is significantly higher among 18 to 35-year-olds, with 35 per cent willing to visit the U.S. without coverage. For advice on how to plan ahead and prepare your vehicle before a road trip, along with what emergency items to carry, visit bcaa.com/roadtriptips.

More than half of B.C. motorists plan to get out on the highway this summer, but are they properly prepared for a safe road trip? The British Columbia Automobile Association’s recently conducted its Summer Road Travel Trends survey. According to the Ipsos Reid survey, most B.C. motorists take road safety and road trip preparation seriously, with 65 per cent saying they get their vehicle serviced before they head out on the highway. However, 33 per cent of respondents aged 18 to 34 years don’t bother to get their vehicle serviced, because they don’t expect anything bad to happen to their vehicle. In fact, 41 per cent of 18 to 34-yearolds say they spend more time packing the car and picking music for their road trip than checking the safety of their vehicle. “While our survey results show that the majority of motorists get their cars

David Gogo ready to rock Burnaby festival

The Burnaby NOW recently chatted with David Gogo about his upcoming performance at the Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival.

ON MY BEAT Marelle Reid

Q: Where are you from? A: I’m from Nanaimo, Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada – born and raised. Q: How did you get your start in music? A: I’ve always had a guitar. I can’t remember a time I didn’t play guitar or ukelele, so it’s always just been a part of me. I started

playing kind of professional gigs right in junior high school, basically. Me and my pals would rent a hall and do a show and then we started playing bars after that, and it just continues to this day.

Q: What made you pick blues? A: I really don’t know. My dad had some blues albums in his collection alongside you know, CCR and Hank Williams, but he also had BB King and Taj Mahal and people like that. It’s kind of fun because when I started listening to blues, I’ve gotten to the point in my career where I’ve managed to open up shows for so many of my blues heroes and even been on stage with them sometimes. I’ve done a lot of touring with Jonny Winter. He asked me to sit in one night. I’ve just recently opened for BB King in my hometown of Nanaimo. I actually got

2013 RAM 1500 REGULAR CAB ST 4X2

to play on stage with him back in Switzerland a few years ago, and a lot of the guys aren’t around anymore, like Albert Collins.

Q: How would you describe your musical style? A: I’m not a traditionalist by any stretch of the imagination, and I’ve listened to all that music, but when I’m doing my solo show I perform pretty traditional, but I like to throw in modern elements. When I choose a cover tune, I’ll use a cover tune that people might not think of as a blues song at all and try to turn it into a blues song. So, to me it’s just as much as I respect the past, I’m not a paint-bynumbers kind of guy that tries to recreate the songs the way they were done 50 years ago. Q: Was there ever a time you thought you’d have to find a different career? Gogo Page 36

A: I never questioned it. It was not till after I got my first record deal and dealt with the professionals in Toronto. That was really not a good experience in my life, because I always just played music because I liked it and things just kept progressing positively until I ended up having a record deal and a management deal and all this stuff you’re supposed to have. Then things kind of took a nosedive for a while, and I had to kind of go back to the sense of just doing it because I like doing it. It’s just something I’ve always done. It’s nice to be back, and the last years have been very positive, you know, selling out shows and the album’s doing well again, and the last record I put out sold out, Soul Bender, picked up the blues album of the year award as well as was nominated for a Juno and things like that. Those things are positive reinforcement to keep going, and I’m really looking forward to the festival this

summer, especially with the new album out. Q: Can you tell me about Come On Down, your latest album? A: I’m quite excited. The official release date is July 2, and we’ve got six new original tunes on there as well as some kind of groovy covers. We’re hoping to do quite a few of the new songs at the festival, and I’m going to expand the band when we’re back there in Burnaby. We’re going to have a couple of backup singers and an organ player. Q: You’ve put out how many albums? A: I think this is number 13, but I’m not sure. I look back and I go, ‘holy schnikeys,’ ‘cause especially a lot of blues guys I know, you might just put out a record every three or four years, but I always like to have something current for people to come out to the show and check out. Q: Is playing live the best part of your career?

A: You know, you’re in a confined space in kind of a sterile environment and I think that’s something I’ve managed to pull off in the last couple of years, is getting that live feel in the studio, kind of recreating that energy from a live show on the disc. So, that’s kind of cool. I enjoy doing both, but there’s just something about playing in front of an audience and getting the energy. Q: What can your fans expect from your set at the Burnaby Blues and Roots Fest? A: Well, new songs, new album, and the addition of a couple extra members of the band, so people who’ve seen us play in the past, especially in the Lower Mainland, they wouldn’t have seen us play with the girls singing, or perhaps even with the keyboard player, so yeah, the band is expanded, and there’ll be some new tunes and a new record. The official release is July 2, so we’ll have copies, plus it’ll be on iTunes and available on the website.

Good things come to those who wait. Even better things happen to those who use that time to improve themselves. That certainly appears to be the case for the New Westminster Salmonbellies current No. 1 keeper Neil Tyacke. The just turned 25-year-old played perhaps his best senior A lacrosse game on the eve of his birthday last Thursday, since being drafted into the Western Lacrosse Association in the third round by the Victoria Shamrocks in 2010. The New Westminster Secondary School grad was the first star in the 5-4 victory over the Burnaby Lakers in a game that was anything but a defensive struggle. More than 100 shots rained down on both goalies at Queen’s Park Arena, with Tyacke stopping the lion’s share with 49 saves. In his first nine games as the Salmonbellies starter this season, Tyacke has a goals against average of nine and is third in the league with a .797 save percentage. Not bad numbers for a young man who almost didn’t get a look in junior A. Tyacke spent most of his junior career playing at the B level before finally getting a chance to start in his final year with the Salmonbellies in 2009. Before that, he played just 102 callup minutes in goal with the junior A ‘Bellies. The likeable Tyacke said he was lucky to have been in that position. It gave him an opportunity to learn and grow behind costarters Sean Tessarolo and Ray Hodgkinson. “Just watching them and how

after playing in just four senior A games, but was later picked up in a trade by the Burnaby Lakers for the remainder of the season. In 2011, Tyacke started the season in Maple Ridge, but was again let go. As luck would have it, the expendable Tyacke was brought back to Queen’s Park last season as a backup for all-star starter Tyler Richards. This season, Tyacke was thrust into the starting role when Richards was slow to return to the team after backstopping the Washington Stealth to the pro National Lacrosse League Championship Cup final. Tyacke has played all but 29 minutes so far this season. “I’m just grateful I got the opportunity here,” said Tyacke. “I knew T (Tyler Richards) was going to take a little time off, but not this. I’m just taking the opportunity.” Tyacke said he fully expects to go back to a backup role when Richards returns. But like his junior days, Tyacke chooses to dwell on the upside of that experience. “I had no problem playing junior. I just knew I had to play. I had to get the shots from somewhere,” he said. And that above all, just might be Tyacke’s mantra. This year, he worked his way onto the practice roster of the Stealth behind Salmonbellie teammates Richards and Matt Roik, and revelled in it. “I got experience in Washington getting the shots. The shots I got all year were so huge,” he said. “I took every shot I could. I wanted every shot I could. Honestly, every opportunity I have had, I’ve

A team of 12-year-old Hyack Swim Club boys finally got their record. The Hyack relay foursome of Burnaby’s Dima Lim and Sehajvir Singh, Ethan Laing and Brian Ni of New Westminster set a new national age group record in the boys’ 12-and-under 400 metre medley relay, setting a new Canadian standard of 4:42.49 at the club’s one day Summer Solstice invitational meet at the City Centre Aquatic Complex in Coquitlam on Saturday. The boys’ time eclipsed the old standard of 4:42.72 set back in 2007. Last week, the four boys travelled to Kamloops in an attempt to break the existing national records in both the 200m medley and freestyle relays. They came away with new provincial records in both, missing the national mark in the medley by just two-tenths of a second. “We had to find a way to do it,” said Hyacks assistant head coach Andrew Lennstrom. With an age window of time ticking down on Ni’s

Hall of famer to be honoured at Junior A game Tom Berridge

sports editor

Former Burnaby resident Murray Lehman will be honoured for his induction into the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame at a junior A lacrosse game next week. Lehman, who gave a half century of his life to the junior game, was inducted into the hall last November. “I was shocked,” said Lehman, when he first heard of his induction. Only one other hall of fame member, John Van Os, Lehman’s mentor, has been inducted as a builder at the junior level. “I say it was 50 years, but some say it was longer. But it’s an experience I didn’t think I will feel again,” said Lehman, who stumbled on Canada’s summer sport by accident. Back in the 1960s, Lehman and Bob Marineau coowned the Junior A Royals baseball club that played in the Metro Vancouver league. “It was funny how I got involved (in lacrosse),” said Lehman.

One Thursday after a rainout at Queen’s Park, Marineau suggested the pair take in a senior lacrosse game at the arena across the way. “There were three guys I knew working the time clock,” said Lehman. “They asked me, ‘Do you want to get involved?’ I said, ‘Doing what?’ “I played (baseball), I coached it and I managed it. But when I saw my first lacrosse game, I said, ‘This is the game I could enjoy.’” He started as a goal judge and then was elevated to a bench official in the old Inter-City league, which is now the Western Lacrosse Association. He soon began to coach youngsters where he lived in the South Burnaby minor association and later managed teams across the border in New Westminster, when the two Burnaby associations merged in the mid-1970s. In 1981, Lehman took on the mantel of B.C. junior A league commissioner, a position he held for nine seasons. In the ’90s, he turned to managing, working in Coquitlam for a short time before returning to the Honour Page 39

Burnaby Lakers junior A slide reaches double figures Tom Berridge sports editor

Contributed photo/burnaby now

The Burnaby Lakers losing streak reached 11 games following a pair of B.C. Junior Lacrosse League losses last week. The junior A Lakers dropped their 10th game in a row following a 19-8 loss in Ladner to the Delta Islanders on June 15. The following day, Burnaby got popped 13-9 by the Langley Thunder at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre. The loss left Burnaby with a 1-14-0 record. The Lakers can climb out of last place with a much-needed win over the 1-12 Nanaimo Timbermen this Sunday at the Copeland centre. In Ladner, Burnaby fell behind 7-3 after the first period, but held its own in the second, outshooting the Islanders 19-9. The Islanders responded with a turnaround third, outscoring Burnaby 9-1, including eight goals in a row, to put the game away early.

Brendan Shea led the Lakers with a hat trick, while captain Peyton Lupul had a four-point night including a goal. At home, the Lakers got some help from newcomer Connor Pagnani and a couple of intermediate callups. Pagnani stepped in, contributing five points to the ledger, including his first two B.C. junior A goals, while Lupul contributed to his team-high 35 points with two goals and as many helpers. Intermediate callups Anthony Quatrano and Danny Spagnuolo also registered four points piece, including the former’s first junior A marker, coming shorthaned in the opening minute of the middle frame. Burnaby goalie Jack Woodhouse made 33 saves in the loss to Langley. Johnny Pearson led all scorers with a goal and seven assists for the visiting Thunder. Burnaby plays Nanaimo at the Copeland centre this Sunday. Game starts at 5 p.m.

Record breakers: From left: Ethan Laing, Brian Ni, Dima Lim from Burnaby and Sehajvir Singh set a new national boys’s 12-and-under 400-metre medley relay record at the Summer Solstice swim meet in Coquitlam last Saturday.

Swim: Record fell to their strengths continued from page 37

13th birthday approaching, Lennstrom, who has worked with the boys’ team for the past couple of years, said, “When are we going to get our chance?” With the records in mind, the club organized the side trip to Kamloops, where the 200m relays were to be run. A last chance came at their Coquitlam meet in the 400. “They realized they had a shot at it. It was right there, but these moments don’t come around that often,” Lennstrom said. Six years ago, a Hyack relay team was faced with a similar position in the exact same age event. That group set a then-new club record of 2:11.2 in the relay, but missed the provincial mark by one-tenth of a second.

Singh, Laing, Lim and Ni experienced the highs and lows again in Kamloops. “It was pretty exciting,” said Lennstrom. “You have your success and then your soclose moment. “It all fell in the moment to their strengths.” Singh opened with a 1:13.84 leg in the backstroke, followed by Laing’s 1:13.87 clocking in the breaststroke. Lim brought home the butterfly in a time of 1:12.85, leaving Ni to finish the final 100m free in a time of 1:01.93. “It just fell at the right moment. They have all had success at the short course provincials, and their attendance is quite good,” Lennstrom said, adding the boys looked energized following their achievement. “Their morning swim was good.” tberridge@burnabynow.com

“I think teams need two goalies they can be confident in,” he added. “I just want to help the team. … It’s what I wanted as a kid.” tberridge@burnabynow.com

Burnaby’s Ilija Gajic scored two goals to help the Western Lacrosse Association New Westminster Salmonbellies to a 7-7 draw with the Langley Thunder at the Langley Events Centre on Wednesday. The point moved New West ahead of Burnaby into fourth place.

third-place 9-3-1 Lakers with two goals and a single assist. Scott Petursson and Franco Corporale also scored for Burnaby. The loss left the junior club in a third-place tie with the New Westminster Salmonbellies. However, Burnaby has three games in hand on the Royal City team. Coquitlam and Delta top the 11-team loop with 26 and 25 points, respectively. The Lakers trailed the

home team 5-2 after the opening period and 7-2 after two. The two teams play a return match at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre on Saturday. Game time is 8 p.m. The West Coast league’s annual all-star game will take place on Canada Day in Ladner. Game time is scheduled for 2 p.m. Two players from each team will be selected to play against a team of allstars from the Vancouver Island league.

Royal City for the next 11 years in a variety of roles, including junior A club president and a Minto Cup in 1994. At the same time, he also held a position on the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame board of governors, including that of chair from 1994 to ’99. “One of the best moves I made was turning the (junior A) franchise over to Walt (Weaver). He was one of the reasons I came back,” said Lehman, who is currently general manager of the New Westminster junior B club. “(Walt) didn’t want the Bs to fold. He didn’t have to twist my arm too hard.”

Lehman cannot begin to list the many experiences he has had from his connection with lacrosse. But remembering the old-timers allstar games and the inspired playoff run that led to New Westminster’s last Minto Cup in ’94 stand out. “Lacrosse was so unique. To see these guys out there with wooden sticks and no helmets. They got to be crazy. But it began a love affair that hasn’t stopped,” Lehman said. Lehman will be honoured by the junior A Salmonbellies in a special ceremony at the game between New Westminster and Burnaby to be held at Queen’s Park Arena on Tuesday, June 25 at 8 p.m.
