Burnaby singer Marie Hui is used to performing in front of big crowds. She sings the Canadian and American national anthems before every Vancouver Whitecaps home game. She’s also sung them at Rogers Arena before Canucks games and at Nat Bailey Stadium for the Vancouver Canadians baseball team. But the appreciative roar of 20,000 soccer fans in BC Place stadium will seem like a whisper compared to the famous din produced by 60,000 screaming Seattle Seahawks football fans in CenturyLink Field. Hui’s been booked to sing the anthems before the Seahawks’ home game on Sept. 21. And it’s not just an ordinary early season tilt. The Super Bowl champions will be playing the Denver Broncos, the team they beat to win the title last February. “My heart rate is still pumping a mile a minute,” said Hui, who learned of her latest gig on Wednesday. Hui has sung professionally for eight years, though despite no formal musical training. Please see SINGER’S, A3

Rose MacInnes, 75, is getting ready to particiapte in her 33rd Terry Fox Run on Sept. 14. She’s been joined for the last 10 years by her granddaughter Ashley Tessmer, 15.
Fox run holds special place in senior’s heart Mario Bartel
photo@burnabynewsleader.com
Rose MacInnes missed the very first Terry Fox Run. She hasn’t missed one since. On Sept. 14 MacInnes, 75, will lace up her sneakers at Central Park for her 33rd romp to raise money for cancer research. She’s a little slower and a little less ambitious than when she collected her first finisher’s badge on her participant’s certificate, but she’s no less passionate about the cause. MacInnes said she was touched by Terry Fox’s dedication and perseverance. She followed the news reports of his courageous run across the country in 1981 and cried when he had to cut it short because his cancer had recurred. But she missed that first public effort to carry on his dream because she was out of town with her mother. She vowed never to miss another. That’s because every year the disease seems to strike someone close to her. She’s lost family members and friends. “There’s always someone every year who’s found out they have cancer,” said MacInnes. Over the years her participation in the run has become a bit of a family affair. Both of her daughters have run with her, including one who was seven-
months pregnant at the time. Her son, who lives in Barriere, has done the run in that community. Every run is traditionally followed by a family breakfast at a nearby restaurant. For the last 11 years MacInnes has been joined on the track by her 15-year-old granddaughter Ashley Tessmer, who lost her own father to cancer of the oesophagus when she was just seven. “It gives me more motivation to do it,” said Ashley of being able to run alongside her grandmother. Last year MacInnes enlisted her four-year-old grandson Frankie into the Terry Fox Run fraternity. And while her advancing years have cut her distance from the 10-km route to the shorter five-km loop, MacInnes said she has no intent of ever stopping. Even if it means her grandkids have to push her around in a wheelchair. “I couldn’t imagine not doing it. It’s just a very special place in my heart. It’s just something I have to do.” • The 34th annual Terry Fox Run in Burnaby will be held Sunday, Sept. 14 at Swangard Stadium. Registration begins at 9 a.m. and the run starts at 10 a.m. on routes of two, five and 10 kilometres through Central Park. Participation is by donation.
continued from FRONT PAGE
She’s the lead singer in two local bands, Groove&Tonic, a cover band, and LeftCoast, an original funk/soul band. She’s performed at the Grand Villa Casino, the Railway Club and the Vancouver Convention Centre. Hui first caught the ear of the Whitecaps in 2011 when she was amongst 240 singers who submitted performance videos in a contest to find a new anthem singer for the team’s home games. She and 12 other semi-finalists auditioned for a judging panel at Empire Field, where the team was based at the time. Hui’s been part of the game day show ever since.
Her path to the Seahawks’ gig was somewhat similar as she first came to the team’s attention when she performed a parody song called “Soar” for their Super Bowl drive, based on Katy Perry’s “Roar.” The video received more than 165,000 views on YouTube. Hui said she was so inspired by the Seahawks’ victory over the San Francisco 49ers in last year’s National Conference championship game to win the opportunity to play for the Super Bowl, she didn’t hesitate when a friend, Clayton Imoo, texted her to ask if she’d perform a song to honour the team. “I still find myself in awe
while thinking about that game,” she said. It took the duo 30 minutes to record the video which they posted a week before the championship. When the Seahawks recently brought a contingent of players and team officials to Vancouver for a promotional event, they booked Hui to sing the parody song live. Her cover band provided the day’s musical entertainment and Hui got a chance to play in a celebrity touch football game as well as sing the anthems before the match. “I guess the right people were in the crowd that day,” said Hui. Her performance on the 21st will likely be Hui’s biggest audience yet, as the Seahawks-Denver game will be nationally televised across North America on CBS. Burnaby’s Marie Hui sings the national anthems at Vancouver Whitecaps’ home games. But on Sept. 21 she’ll perform them at Seattle’s CenturyLink Field before the start of a Super Bowl rematch between the Seahawks and Denver Broncos.
Respitality hopes to grow ⫸
continued from FRONT PAGE
Which is exactly the intent of the program, said Richard Faucher, the executive director of BACI. “For parents of a child with a disability, a night out is often more than just a wonderful experience, it’s a lifeline,” said Faucher. “It offers a break from the everyday demands they experience, and enables them to re-energize for the challenges they will continue to face.”
...by Accident We Meet and we’re there when you need us with over 67 years of award-winning collision repairs
Sebastien Theriault, the director of sales and marketing at the Delta, said it was important for his hotel to participate. “It’s a local cause,” he said. “We have a good feeling playing a role in the community.” Nancy Small of Tourism Burnaby said she hopes Burnaby’s hospitality industry will step up so more families can enjoy a break. Currently they’re targeting one Respitality
night a month. “With so many families who could benefit from this program, we’re hoping that those in the Burnaby hospitality sector will help us make a difference in their lives,” she said. It certainly did for the Pattersons. Heather saw her husband smile. “It’s hard to smile sometimes,” she said. “But seeing him smile, it’s contagious.” twitter.com/newsleaderfotog

Salish Sea Spill Map at salishseaspillmap.org. “Every single card has a distinct identification number that we can track,” said Ross Dixon of the Rainforest Conservation Foundation. “We track the exact location of where the cards end up, so we have an indication of the potential spatial extent of an oil spill affecting this area.” The $5.4-billion Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project aims to twin the existing 60-year-old pipeline that carries petroleum from Alberta to Kinder Morgan’s tanker terminal in Burnaby on Burrard
Inlet. The new pipeline would tunnel under the Fraser River near the Port Mann Bridge, where some drift cards were released last Tuesday. The twinning would nearly triple Trans Mountain’s capacity to 890,000 barrels of oil per day and greatly increase the number of tankers passing through Vancouver harbour. Carey Johannesson, a project lead for the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, told Black Press the route through Burnaby Mountain is the final piece that still needs to be assessed to satisfy the National Energy Board. The City of Burnaby has vowed to do what it can to block the project. At the site of the simulation, the George Strait Alliance’s Alexandra Woodsworth reiterated her group’s concern for the pipeline and for what a spill would do to the water in and around Vancouver and B.C. “There is no cure once the oil hits the water,” she said. “We’re looking at 15, 20, 30 per cent recovery rates. In these kind of highconsequence events, we are looking at real devastation to our marine environment and also to our economy. When we have such reliance on our beautiful B.C. brand, on tourism, on recreation, all those kinds of things. “These are the reasons British Columbians choose to live here and work here and it’s the reason people choose to visit, is that beauty and that natural abundance that we have here, that would really be at risk by an oil spill.” – with files from Mario Bartel 14-068d

Union accuses SFU of gouging int’l students Mario Bartel NewsLeader
International students at Simon Fraser University are being gouged on their health insurance premiums, says the Teaching Support Staff Union. Derek Sahota, of the TSSU, says international students at SFU are paying, on average, more than double for their health insurance than students at other post secondary institutions in the province like the University of British Columbia, Kwantlen Polytechnical University and the University of Victoria. In the fall of 2013, there were more than 4,000 international students enrolled at SFU, representing about 16 per cent of the school’s total student population. Sahota says the $353 international students pay for health insurance provided by Guard.me is almost triple the cost of the university’s previous health insurance provider, which charged $126 per student. “We have clear evidence of a public institution who forced their students into the most
expensive option when students would have chose a different option,” says Sahota. Guard.me is a Canadian company that specializes in insurance for students studying or working abroad, as well as teachers, faculty and staff. International students enrolling at SFU must pay for a private insurance plan to cover their health care needs until they are eligible to enrol in the BC Medical Services Plan. But Tim Rahilly SFU’s associate vice-president of students, says many international students don’t buy medical insurance on their own. “We have a duty of care for our students and believe that providing a mandatory medical insurance plan for all international students is the best way to ensure their well-being,” says Rahilly. Sahota says even if students have their own insurance, it’s difficult for them to opt out of the school’s plan, and they’re automatically re-enrolled in it year after year. Over the course of a student’s career at SFU, that can add up to thousands of

dollars. He wants the university to give some of that money back. “These students are owed more than an apology,” says Sahota. “They are owed a refund of the money that SFU has charged them.” Rahilly says the issue will be discussed at arbitration meetings with the TSSU scheduled for December. “The welfare of our students is an important issue,” he says.

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:
QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
Scamming seniors
LAST WEEK:
It used to be that one didn’t venture alone down a suspiciously dark alley for fear of being mugged. Technology has brought robbers to our doorsteps, via telephones and computers. We can’t afford to relax our vigilance at home. Conscienceless scammers are ready to exploit age, infirmity, inattention or our own naturally trusting natures. The young friend or relativein-distress scenario is still alive and kicking. Seniors receive a call from a young man trying to give the impression they’re a grandson. At this point, the scammer is armed with an identity, and, with a few more leading questions, will soon have enough to back it up convincingly. The caller is in some predicament that requires the sending of money, and the easiest way is by providing financial information that will compromise the victim’s accounts. Fortunately, the scam usually doesn’t succeed. The target clues in before any information is passed on. But it’s a cold-hearted scheme, relying on seniors’ delight to hear from a usually uncommunicative relative. Others respond to an offer to rid computers of viruses and malware at a special price. It’s a limited time offer. Once baited, the target is offered a series of options that test their willingness to co-operate and compromise computer passwords – with the result that malware is actually installed, shutting down the computer. Each of these schemes has a common lynch-pin – catching the recipient off-guard with a time-sensitive request, calling for a snap decision. It would be a sad commentary on our times if we became so jaded that we mistrust every attempt to communicate with us. Never volunteer information on the spur of the moment. —Peace Arch News

Ice buckets could lead to ALS cure I’m sure that in the large ad agencies across the world, high paid executives who are in charge of producing multi-million dollar publicity campaigns for their clients are pulling their hair out. “Why didn’t anyone here think of asking people to dump buckets of ice water on their heads to promote our clients?” Around the globe, people are standing in plastic wading pools on their patios or gathering in parks or stadiums. With little or no cost involved, they are simply dumping ice water on their heads to raise money for ALS. ALS is a neurodegenerative disease that is usually fatal in 36 to 48 months after a severe weakening of the muscles. Like all other major diseases, there is constant research and fundraising and awareness campaigns. However, since early July, the ice bucket campaign has raised over $53 million, and the challenges keep coming. People of all ages and walks
Jiim McGregor of life share their squealing, shuddering and shaking videos, then challenge friends and family and send off their $10 to the cause. It’s a lot of fun. Unless of course you have ALS. The entire challenge started when Pete Frates, a young, healthy Boston College baseball player, was diagnosed with ALS in 2013. He could have given up and gone home but knowing he only had a short time, he began speaking to groups and committees and agencies that could make a difference. Then a couple of friends did the challenge as a fundraiser. Thanks to YouTube and the internet, it took off. Of course, there are critics out

there who tell us not to support ALS research because of their testing methods. Others are chiding us for wasting clean water when millions in the world are dying of thirst and more will tell us that the cures are already out there but the drug companies are keeping them secret to sell more pills. We are reminded that the electronic media gives everyone a soapbox and we always hear from all sides. In the past week, I have been at a celebration of life, and a celebration of 50 years of marriage. At both events, there were Power Point presentations covering the last 50 to 60 years. The different fads and fashions were displayed and we were reminded of everything from poodle skirts to hula hoops, huge tail fins to powder blue leisure suits. I have no doubt that one day, 25 years from now, some hologram in my room at the home will be reminding us of

the ice bucket challenges of the summer of 2014 that helped eradicate a disease that nobody contracts anymore. Hopefully it will be followed by a side story of all the other diseases we used to get that have been cured. If it takes a few million people dumping a bucket of ice water on their heads, so be it. After all, if the public keeps providing the money for health research, the government can keep spending money on weapons, corruption and pollution. I accepted the challenge and poured my bucket on my head and sent in my money. When that news piece comes on 25 years from now, I want to be able to say, “I was a part of that cure.” And I hope the staff in that home says “If he tells that stupid golf joke again, he’s going to get another ice bucket.” Jim McGregor is a writer and poet who, until 2006, was also Langley City fire chief.

Life in a totalitarian state The Ukraine situation is very scary. Only someone who has lived and/or experienced living in East Germany or East Berlin knows how it is to live under a communist rule or have the KGB in charge, which Putin is (or was) a member of. To explain how everyone and everything was controlled, read the following joke: Every morning a not-so-smart person talked to the sun. “Good morning Sun, how are you?” The Sun answered back: “I am fine, and how are you?” The same thing happened at noon. In the evening the man again said: “Good evening Sun, how are you?” No answer. The man repeated, “Good evening Sun, how are you?” When there was no reply, the man asked: “Why are you not answering me, Sun?” After a while the Sun said: “I don’t have to, I am now in the West!” Hilda Weber Burnaby
CANNABIS NO LONGER A DEMON Re: Ahead of the smoke (Editorial) Cannabis can no longer be demonized in the 21st century. The B.C. court just ruled that people can use it in medicine in whatever form they wish. The Canadian doctors just told Prime Minister Stephen Harper that they would not support his prohibition efforts. The Canadian people are 80 per cent against continuing criminalization. Times have changed! John David Bourgeois —online comment burnaby newsleader.com
CONSULTATION BEARS LITTLE FRUIT Re: Vancouver, environmental groups conduct oil spill simulation on Fraser River, Burrard Inlet “There’s going to be a full opportunity for people, including the City of Burnaby, to make presentations and to provide information to the board.” And we’ve all seen—coal in the port being the latest example—how much impact presentations and information have.

CANADA NEEDS OIL Re: Burnaby to rally municipalities in pipeline fight Your bleeding hearts are not going to stop the project. The country needs oil exports. Most of you along that line are in huge expensive homes probably paid for by your pensions. Just how do you think
Canada is going to get the money to pay for your overbloated pensions? Give your heads a shake. These pipelines have been pumping oil for over 50 years now without major incident. Maybe we could hire MMA railway to haul down our hilly landscape. What would you think of that? John Mart —online comment
RIVERSIDE NEEDS PARK Re: Fire prompts extra security at former Kenneth Gordon school This school should never have been allowed to degenerate to the point where it became a magnet for vandals.

Ask the Pro
Q: I’ve noticed my golfing buddies all have hybrids instead of long irons. What is the difference between an iron and a hybrid, and how do I hit a hybrid? Answer: There is a real difference between an iron and a hybrid. Hybrid: A hybrid has a larger sweet spot with a wider sole, which gives a lower Center of Gravity (COG). This lower center of gravity creates a higher trajectory. Higher trajectory allows the golfer to get out of the rough easier and get the ball air born quicker. A hybrid is more forgiving with miss-hits, so you will be able to lower your scores and have more fun on the Golf Course. Iron: You will find it more difficult to hit the ball out of the rough with an iron compared to a hybrid. The iron is not as forgiving as a hybrid and the sweet spot is a lot smaller, which requires a more precise shot. The center of gravity is higher which creates a lower trajectory. Your miss-hit with an iron will be approximately 20% shorter than your miss-hits with a hybrid. Come try a hybrid at one of our Driving Ranges. We carry brand new hybrids from both Ping and Callaway. We hope to see you working on your game at our practice areas and Driving Ranges soon. Thanks for swinging by!

Mount Polley tests ‘reassuring’ Jeff Nagel Black Press
There’s no cause for people to worry about human health risks from the Mount Polley mine tailings spill despite some elevated levels of contaminants in the latest sediment tests, according to an Interior Health official. “The results are quite reassuring,” medical health officer Dr. Trevor Corneil said after the release of new tests conducted Aug. 12 and 15, adding clean water without suspended sediment that’s outside the impact zone continues to be safe to drink. “The water continues to be safe, the fish continue to be safe, if normal food and water practices are undertaken.” That includes not drinking cloudy water or eating the sediment within the spill impact zone itself, where Corneil said “slightly elevated” arsenic levels have been found, along with copper, iron, manganese, silver, selenium and vanadium. Elevated levels of various elements are to be expected at an active mine, he said. Corneil noted arsenic is naturally occurring and measurable in most water

sources. Background data from samples taken last spring show there were previously elevated levels of the same contaminants – though not to the same extent – in Quesnel Lake and Hazeltine Creek prior to the disaster, environment ministry regional operations director Jennifer McGuire told reporters. She said the arsenic concentration tested far below a national guideline for human consumption. Tests released the previous week indicated higher levels of selenium in the gonads and
livers of fish meant someone who consumed more than a cup a day of those fish organs would exceed human consumption guidelines, but not if they just ate the flesh. The Aug. 4 breach of the tailings pond dam caused concern among First Nations and other fishery users that Fraser River salmon might be contaminated. The province is shifting to an audit role as Mount Polley mine owner Imperial Metals embarks on a long-term monitoring plan that McGuire said is required to measure any potential impacts on aquatic life.

A total of 107 cyclists will participate in four different tours that will visit businesses and schools from Fort St. John in the province’s north to the southernmost reaches of Vancouver Island. “For more than 15 years, communities throughout the Fraser Valley have welcomed us, hosting events that we look forward to each year,” says rider Trevor Sales, the team captain for the Tour de Valley, which

takes riders from Tsawwassen to Boston Bar. “It’s hard to describe the feeling when you see the lengths people go to, welcoming and supporting the riders, because they too believe that no child should have to face cancer.” In addition to the Tour de Valley, the Tour de Rock will cover Vancouver Island, the Tour de North will travel through northern British Columbia from Prince George to Prince Rupert (with a stop in Kitimat), and the Tour de Coast will journey around Greater Vancouver and up to Powell River and Pemberton. While the rides begin in this month, the cyclists have been in the midst of their fundraising and training efforts. Last month, for example, the Tour de Valley riders embarked on a 160-kilometre ride beginning and ending in Abbotsford. “All Cops for Cancer riders take part in rigorous training – they need to learn how to pace themselves and ride in a peloton,” says Allan Mugford, Fraser Valley regional director for the Canadian Cancer Society. “But what they can never prepare for is the emotional impact of seeing a child with cancer and the toll it takes on their entire family.” The campaign runs through September, with money raised going to Canadian Cancer Society.
