Second lives for jack-olanterns:

Local resident Lise Kreps is organizing Burnaby’s first-ever pumpkin parade, where neighbours put their carved pumpkins on glowing display.

Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Local librarian Lise Kreps has a postHalloween vision of neighbours gathering to see countless glowing jack-o-lanterns lighting up the dark in Confederation Park.

Kreps is organizing Burnaby’s first pumpkin parade on Nov. 1, and she’s hoping people will bring their carved pumpkins.

“Each one is like a little lantern,” she told the NOW. “Some of them are very simple, and some of them are very incredible, artistic and amazing. It’s just fun to see them all in one place.”

The idea is simple: Save your jacko-lantern, bring it to the park, light the candle and line it up with the many others on display. Then peruse the glowing path and check out other people’s carving skills. Afterwards, all of the pumpkins will be composted.

Kreps got the idea while listening to a radio piece about a similar parade in Toronto. Every year, neighbours line up their lit jack-o-lanterns and gather in Toronto’s Sorauren Park. The event began

years ago with roughly 120 pumpkins but now boasts close to 2,000.

Kreps wanted to organize something similar here in Burnaby.

“I have been taking my daughter trickor-treating for years in the Capitol HillBurnaby Heights neighbourhood. I saw

so many amazing jack-o-lanterns, from charming to funny to incredibly artistic,” she said. “I thought it would be great to see them all lined up in one place for everyone to enjoy.”

Kreps contacted the volunteers behind Toronto’s event for tips on how to orga-

nize her own pumpkin parade. She then coordinated with the City of Burnaby and secured a grant from the Vancouver Foundation and Burnaby Neighbourhood House. The Heights Merchants and neighbourhood associations have also Pumpkin Parade Page 8

OTTAWA SHOOTER HAD CONNECTIONS TO BURNABY

City MP: ‘You think about your loved ones’ Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

For Peter Julian, it was one of the most disturbing events of his life.

The Burnaby-New Westminster MP was in a caucus meeting in Parliament Hill Wednesday morning when shots rang out.

“We first heard two or three gunshots that were obviously further away and

then gunshots that were right outside our room, very heavy gunfire right outside our caucus meeting,” Julian told the NOW Wednesday afternoon. “A security guard came in, secured the doors, asked us to take cover, which we did. We stayed close to the ground and we watched the door and heard the gunshots and wondered how many gunmen were involved, (and) whether or not they were going to come through the door.”

Julian said security staff were calm and professional, as were the MPs. “At that point you are not thinking other than following instructions and seeing how things play out,” he said. “The gunshots were taking place right there. …

There was a gunfight taking place right outside our room.”

Julian described it as an anxious moment.

When the gunshots stopped, security escorted Julian and the other MPs to safe rooms, where they were instructed to stay, while security swept the area. When the NOW spoke with Julian, Parliament Hill Shooter Page 4

Lynne Axford, Chief Election Officer for Burnaby, holds a voter guide and voter card.

Both will be sent out to households of registered voters the last week of October.

Voting should be easier than ever New centralized system will allow residents to vote at any polling place in the city Tereza Verenca staff reporter

Voting in this year's civic election should be a lot easier than three years ago.

The Burnaby election office has switched to a centralized system, which will allow residents to vote at any location in the city.

"I think it'll be a huge bonus to people.

We've had complaints in the past that if someone moved, they still had to go to that specific location they were assigned," said chief election officer Lynne Axford. "It was very frustrating for some."

How it works is simple. Every voter card has a barcode that can be scanned at any of the 35 polling stations.

"This also makes it easier for those working at the desk. They're not looking up names in big books and crossing them off with a ruler," she said.

The election office has also ramped up its online efforts, creating a user-friendly page on the city's website. The FAQ section has

been translated into four different languages and there's even a 60-second YouTube video explaining the ABCs of voting.

"We really wanted to make it a fun process for everyone, one that appealed to youth as well," Axford told the NOW. Also new this year is a voter guide that will be mailed to all 94,000 households in the last week of October. Candidate profiles will be included in the brochure.

"It's really about educating the public of where they can vote and who's running for office.

These are some of the things we received feedback about after the last election," she said.

Axford, who has been involved in Burnaby's municipal election in one way or another since 2005, said spreading the word about it has come a long way over the years.

"Back then, we only did the minimal amount of advertising required. In 2011, it was the first time we did a pamphlet, with little social media. Today, we've introduced this guide and pocket cards to compliment everything else. We're definitely out there."

Superstore* Fair Market* M&M Meats* * not in all areas

Twenty-thousand pocket cards, which are slightly bigger than a business card, have been distributed to the Burnaby Public Library. The need-to-know info has been printed on them and will be given to readers when they sign out a book.

In terms of staffing, the local office has hired 335 people to work the polls. That figure is slightly down when compared to 2011, which Axford credits to the streamlined process now in place.

Only 23 per cent of registered voters cast a ballot in the 2011 election. Axford hopes her team's hard work pays off by seeing that number change.

"My goal here is to really make it an easy and positive experience,” she said.

Registered voters will receive their voter card, voter guide and InfoBurnaby brochure by the end of the month. Non-registered voters will also be mailed a copy of InfoBurnaby and the voter guide.

Advanced voting will take place Nov. 1, 5 and 8. For more information, visit burnaby. ca.

FORMER STUDENTS OF HIGH SCHOOL WERE TOLD THEY COULD VISIT, THEN TOLD THEY CAN’T

Alpha classrooms are off limits to candidates Cornelia Naylor staff reporter

The Burnaby school district has kiboshed a local high school’s plan to host class discussions with two former students running for city council.

Matthew Hartney and Jason Chan, two Alpha Secondary grads vying for city council seats with the Burnaby First Coalition, were putting the finishing touches on a visit to their former Social Studies teacher’s Grade 11 classes earlier this month, when they got an email from the school’s principal, Paul Fester.

He had gotten some “clarification” from the district, he said, and, because of concerns about school-district neutrality, the Socials classes would not be able to host the two grads before the election.

“I was a bit taken aback because he and I had met face to face, and his decision and tone was very different than the email,” Hartney told the NOW. He said his former Socials teacher Andrew Hunchak had initially been excited about the idea.

Hunchak confirmed as much with the NOW, saying he had thought it would be an “excellent idea,” especially since both candidates were Alpha graduates.

“We had just finished a unit on poli-

have been arranged by teachers and student groups in the past.

“We’re trying to make sure that we respect all the political views that are out there, and that we don’t advantage any particular party over another,” Kaardal said.

Asked if the district has guidelines or policies in place to guide administrators in making decisions like the one at Alpha, the superintendent said no, but that the decision about Hartney and Chan was an ethical one based on “good common practice.”

Asked why Hunchak, as a professional educator, would not be left to make that judgment call, Kaardal said, “We make decisions collectively, and in this case we made the decision from the district office. … I’m not going to comment on the judgment of our teachers. They are excellent professionals. The practice in the district during elections is to make sure that public servants remain neutral.”

As for whether any school board trustees – six of whom are running for re-election with the Burnaby Citizens Association – were involved in the decision about Hartney’s and Chan’s visit to Alpha, Kaardal’s answer was emphatic.

“Absolutely not,” he said. “It’s absolutely a decision that rests with my office.”

The shooter has been identified as Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, a Canadian in his 30s. Media reports say he fatally shot 24year-old Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, who was on guard at the National War Memorial on Parliament Hill, before driving to Centre Block, the main parliamentary building, where he was shot by the House of Commons sergeant-at-arms.

“What I most bring out of this is how courageous the security guards were, who went towards the gunfire, as opposed to away,” Julian said. “The gunman was mere feet away from 160 Conservative MPs and 100 NDP MPs, and if he had been able to break through to any of

Muslim Association’s spokesperson and head imam, told the NOW they had a scant description of Zehaf-Bibeau and that he drifted in and out of the Burnaby mosque for a few months in 2011.

Rashid was surprised by the report Zehaf-Bibeau was seen at the mosque six weeks ago.

“I spoke to people at the mosque and they said basically this guy left. He was asked to leave the mosque, because he had gotten a hold of keys and stuff from the mosque, and when he got out of jail, he just started sleeping there. They discovered him one day, he would come late at night and leave early in the morning, before people came.

And when they discovered him, they changed all the locks and asked him not to come back. That was like a year ago. We do not have any confirmations of him visiting that mosque after that.”

Zehaf-Bibeau, after he complained about some of the programs.

“At that mosque, they have a lot of inter-faith programs and community programs. He had a problem with that. He said, ‘Why are you allowing non-Muslims into the mosque?’ So the chairman sat him down and said, ‘Look, our mosque has always been very open, and we plan on staying that way. Either you respect the way we are running it in an inclusive way, or it’s probably better you go somewhere else,’” Rashid said.

According to Rashid, people were uncomfortable around Zehaf-Bibeau because he had a rude demeanor. He also said it appeared Zehaf-Bibeau was “radicalized” through the Internet.

“If this guy was radicalized, it happened through online activities, as opposed to community interaction with people, especially in a place like Burnaby,” Rashid said.

Images of more armed soldiers guarding Parliament, of barricades and fences around our prime minister’s residence, is not a Canada that we would recognize or welcome.

But we also can’t remain naive about the potential for much more damaging assaults. We, like others, think about what might have happened on Wednesday if the lone deranged attacker was able to procure some of the automatic weapons available in the U.S. The fact that he had either a shotgun or long-barrelled rifle certainly limited the potential

for much more loss of life.

Last week the Justice Institute of B.C. in New Westminster held a simulation of a shooter running amok in a public building. The enactment allowed emergency personnel to practise their medical skills, communications skills and policing strategies. It was eerily prescient given what happened this week.

Sadly, we expect to see more such training sessions, more armed guards, more and higher security measures in public. Even sadder, they may be necessary.

IN MY OPINION

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR City had success with chafers Dear Editor:

In response to your Oct. 8 article, “Raccoons feast on her grubby lawn,” about the damage caused by raccoons searching lawns for European chafer beetle grubs (beetles in their larval form), the City of Burnaby offers the following information about initiatives the city has underway to address the problem.

The European chafer is present in many Lower Mainland communities. Grubs will feed on grass roots, and may move into vegetable patches to feed on other plants if food is scarce.

The damage this causes, combined with the visible damage of skunks, birds and raccoons pulling back lawn turf to get at a meal of grubs, make chafer

grubs a damaging pest.

In 2002, the city developed a comprehensive program that has resulted in a decrease in calls – from 323 in 2004 (the height of the issue) to 17 to date in 2014. The city has funded and completed six separate studies, between 2003 and 2009, looking at various treatment methods, application processes and treatment timing, and has treated 19,416 square metres of land with nematodes that function as a biological control method. In addition, city staff have conducted resident outreach and education through newspapers, brochures, public displays the city website, lawn care workshops, and presentations at garden centres.

Staff also held two nematode sales, in conjunction with the rollout of the city’s pesticide bylaw.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Homeowners have help continued from page 6

The use of nematodes, in combination with healthy lawn care practices, has proven effective at controlling the European chafer population.

Through its research conducted to date, the city has determined that the period from July to early August is the optimal time to treat chafer-infested areas. Sites that are suffering damage that is significant enough to warrant treatment by the city are treated and/or restored at that time.

The city is not able to treat every area affected by the beetle. Treatment of most homeowners’ sites is left to the homeowner, with support from the city, as identified above.

Burnaby’s wake-up call

Dear Editor:

Wake up, Burnaby.

Soon there will be an election, and if you vote in the same party, then you must expect higher taxes, more monster houses and an unbelievable concrete jungle.

Thank you, Mr. Mayor, for relieving me of my southern view as the view is slowly being taken away.

Thank you for relieving all seniors of their public transportation.

building sidewalks along city property and will only do so when it is just an extension of a sidewalk being paid for by property owners. As the city owns all the land on either side of this corner, there are no sidewalks, despite how dangerous the corner is.

Burnaby has actually made this intersection more dangerous by adding in a bike path. Now pedestrians, cars and bikes are all funnelled into a tight 90-degree corner with poor visibility. It is only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured at this location. But despite my best effort, Burnaby continues to dismiss concerns.

In further conversations with the city about my safety concerns, I was advised that Burnaby now charges 8.75 per cent interest on installation of local area improvements, which cover sidewalks. You read that right, 8.75 per cent.

How can the Burnaby justify charging citizens 8.75 per cent interest when rates are at near historic lows? Shouldn’t Burnaby be actually encouraging local area improvements instead of making them prohibitively expensive?

So perhaps Coun. Kang can shed some light on these problems.

Sidewalks: City is failing residents and the city to make a lot of profit. The currently practice of allowing developments and all but ignoring the necessary infrastructure upgrades is not working and will lead to major problems in the future.

We regularly hear how the City of Burnaby is taking in millions of dollars from developers on density bonuses, yet it is apparent that Mayor Derek Corrigan and the BCA are more keen on stuffing the city coffers instead of actually using that money to help build the necessary infrastructure.

And it’s not just the newly redeveloped areas that are feeling the neglect of Mayor Corrigan’s policies. My neighbourhood has been attempting to deal with sidewalks for decades, to no success and this continues to this very day.

I raised safety concerns with the city about the corner at Burris and Sixth Street, in which vehicle traffic makes a 90-degree turn at an area where Burris Street sidewalk just ends at a ditch. Specifically, I was enquiring as to why the city would not build sidewalks at this location.

To my surprise, city staff informed me that Burnaby has a policy to not

Slow down the spread of influenza - Get a flu shot.

Why are the density bonuses collected by Burnaby not being used to enhance the local areas where these towers are being built? Why has the city chosen to charge such a high rate of interest to property owners on local area improvements? Why does the BCA appear to be prioritizing profits over safety of citizens, many of which are just children going to school?

Personally, I find it rather shameful that Burnaby is a city known for its vast financial reserves and yet distinctive lack of sidewalks. I would like to see Burnaby actually use the property taxes and density bonus it collects to address the unsafe conditions pedestrians face in our city.

And if Mayor Corrigan and his BCA continue to be unwilling to do so, then it’s time to elect someone that actually will.

And just a little something for mayor and council to keep in mind: It does little good to spend $55,000 on oversized school zone signs when children have to walk on the road dodging cars going 50 km/h before they can even make it to the school zone.

Police investigate suspicious package Police determined package delivered to Kinder Morgan was not a threat Cayley Dobie staff reporter

A suspicious package delivered to Kinder Morgan’s office on Shellmont Street on Wednesday was ‘not suspicious,’ according to police.

Burnaby Mounties determined the package wasn’t a threat around noon on Oct. 22, several hours after being called to the facility, Staff Sgt. Maj. John Buis told the NOW. “There was nothing suspicious about (the package),” he said.

The sender of the package is unknown at this time, and Buis couldn’t confirm if the package was intended to be a threat against the energy company.

“It led us to believe that we had to use an abundance of caution with it,” he added. “We take these things very seriously, and we deploy the appropriate resources to determine the nature of it.”

The package was sent to Kinder Morgan’s office in the 7800 block of Shellmont Street. When staff received the packaged, they called the police, according to a statement from Kinder Morgan.

Kinder Morgan wouldn’t comment on the contents of the package or what made staff believe it was suspicious, adding the incident was under investigation by police.

Pumpkin Parade: First outing for a future Burnaby tradition continued from page 1

been helping her promote the event.

The city threw in a composting bin, so all the jack-o-lanterns stay out of the landfill.

“They were really nice about it, they agreed to wave their fee for it. The City of Burnaby and engineering have been incredibly helpful,” Kreps said.

The funding she got was from the neighbourhood small grants program, which is designed to bring neighbours closer together, and Kreps thinks her event will do just that.

“We get to meet each other there, and we get to see what each other is doing. It’s something anybody can participate in, of any age and any artistic ability,” she said.

Kreps hopes to host more pumpkin parades in the future.

“I’m really hoping this will become a tradition, as it has in Toronto, and it will grow every year,” she said. “I think we have a really great community here to support this. … It has the potential to take off.”

Burnaby’s first ever pumpkin parade runs on Saturday, Nov. 1, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at the corner of Willingdon Avenue and Albert Street, in the lot where the Burnaby Heights Resource Centre used to be. Look for the sign that says pumpkin parade.

Break-ins a headache for Burnaby apartment Cayley Dobie staff reporter

A Burnaby man wants to see an end to break-ins at his Metrotown area apartment building.

Dennis Lou-Hing lives in a building on Jersey Avenue across from Central Park and in the last five months, the building’s garage has been broken into twice. During the first incident, which happened in May, the suspect broke into the car garage and smashed five car windows, Lou-Hing told the NOW. “The only stuff he got was some change, but the damage of having to repair each window is quite annoying,” he said.

The second incident happened around 4:30 a.m. last Thursday. The suspect pried open the lobby door and made his way through the building and into the garage, Lou-Hing said.

“We noticed him going up into the garage, then he had a little flashlight and he checks each of the vehicles and apparently he couldn’t find anything worth stealing,” he said.

Some of the tenants store personal items in their parking stalls, and Lou-Hing said the suspect ransacked those items before

leaving the building through the garage door.

“This seems to be rampant in the Burnaby area,” he said.

There have been about 1,265 incidents of theft in the southwest district (where Jersey Avenue in located), including theft from vehicles, break and enters and auto thefts, according to a recent monthly report

by Burnaby RCMP. Between January and December 2013, about 1,559 similar incidents were reported to local Mounties, according to the 2013 November/December report by Burnaby RCMP. Lou-Hing has lived in the building for more than two decades and said breakand-enters continue to be a problem in the area. His fellow tenants were so fed up a few years back they invested some of their strata fees into installing surveillance cameras at key points around the building, among other precautions.

“Because no one goes out at night, we’ve put it (the garage door) on a timer so the power goes off,” he said.

Lou-Hing and his neighbours are hoping to circulate the images of the recent suspects as soon as possible. twitter.com/cayleydobie

BFC would do core review The Burnaby First Coalition held its third town hall meeting on Tuesday, speaking with locals at the Bonsor Recreation Complex about key issues in the city.

A handful of residents took the podium to express their concerns, ranging from voter apathy to quality of education in public schools. One attendee asked about the party’s pledge not to raise taxes for three years, questioning where they would get funds to maintain city services.

Mayoral candidate Daren Hancott said the BFC would conduct a core review of all budgets, departments and city positions to find ways to save money and spend more efficiently. He also referenced the city’s portfolio, calling Burnaby’s return on investment poor.

“I wasn’t joking when I said we had pathetic returns,” he said. “There’s a billion dollars in the bank and there’s so much required by law – the law says about $500 million, so we’ve got an extra $500 million.

“If you take that and invest it properly, you can get much better returns – but we don’t. If you go back five years, six years, seven years, they get the same returns every single year.”

Gordon Shank, a consultant and a member of the scientific community who has turned out at previous town halls, brought up homelessness and sustainable jobs as issues, but noted his trust in the BFC to address those concerns and formally announced his support for the coalition.

“I think we need a government in Burnaby for the citizens of Burnaby,” he said.

The town hall ended with the party urging residents to make their voices heard by voting on Nov. 15, with council hopeful Matthew Hartney’s words resonating with the crowd.

“This election is a key point for the city,” he said. “Put aside Orange Burnaby or Red Burnaby or Blue Burnaby – now’s a time when people can make real change to have people accountable to them.”

STUDIES: BIZ ADVOCATES SAY TAX SHARE IS OUT OF LINE

Businesses pay majority of taxes Jacob Zinn staff reporter

Two recent studies are calling into question Burnaby’s taxing practices on local businesses, saying businesses pay far more than residents and account for an increasing amount of tax revenue.

The Fraser Institute – a public policy think tank – recently compared finances between 17 Metro Vancouver municipalities while the Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses tackled the disparity between how much residents and businesses pay in property tax.

Looking at data from 2002 to 2012, the Fraser Institute found that 52 per cent of Burnaby’s property tax revenue comes from businesses – the highest of all municipalities in the study.

“By relying too heavily on businesses for property tax revenue or maintaining uncompetitive tax rates, municipalities risk scaring off entrepreneurs and business people who consider property taxes when making decisions about whether to continue operations, whether to expand, or whether to start a business in the first place,” said Charles Lammam, the institute’s associate director of tax and fiscal policy and co-author of the study.

Similarly, the CFIB’s new B.C. Property Tax Gap Report, which also looked at a decade of civic financial information, found that Burnaby businesses pay 4.22 times what residents pay in municipal taxes. Burnaby ranked third among the worst tax gap offenders in the Lower Mainland, behind Coquitlam (4.50) and Vancouver (4.33) “Overall, British Columbia’s property tax system continues to be hugely unfair for small business,” said CFIB’s B.C. director Richard Truscott in a statement. “It

appears even more unbalanced when you compare the taxes paid to the level of services actually received by residents versus businesses.”

On average, Burnaby residents pay $2,129, compared to $8,986 for businesses.

Truscott argues that businesses are getting shafted with quadrupled taxes as municipal politicians solicit votes in the lead-up to their respective elections on Nov. 15.

“As municipalities grow and citizens demand more services, there’s less hissing, and fewer votes to lose, if the politicians dump more and more of the tax burden on the shoulders of business owners.”

Noting that high property taxes can negatively impact small businesses, Truscott pointed to the cities of Toronto and Saskatoon, which have closed their tax

*Source: Fraser Institute gaps considerably in recent years, and suggested B.C. municipalities do the same to ensure small businesses can thrive in the future.

“Small businesses in B.C. are tired of being treated like a cash cow. We hope the mayors and councils elected across the province on Nov. 15 will do the sensible thing and commit to making the property tax system more fair and equitable for small business.”

On a more positive note, the Fraser Institute ranked Burnaby 13th in government spending by population, at $1,249 per person – just below the Metro Vancouver average of $1,384. However, it also noted that all municipalities in the study increased spending “well beyond the rate needed to accommodate for inflation and population growth.” twitter.com/JacobZinn

The openconcept space was designed to encourage integration and collaboration between everyone who see Fortius clients.

Former pro cyclist turns to sports medicine Cornelia Naylor staff reporter

Fortius sport doctor Jason Crookham’s career path isn’t what you’d call typical.

After dedicating much of his 20s to cycling – both professionally and on Canada’s national team – the Terrace, B.C. native took up medical studies later in life.

And inner-city Detroit was where he first started practising family medicine.

“It was really hard core – a great experience and a great place to learn,” Crookham said.

After two years, however, it became

clear his impact as a family doctor would be limited.

“I came from a sports background,” he said, “but then I was working in an inner city where I was treating tons of chronic disease and tons of problems that don’t have a simple answer in pills or medical prescriptions.”

Part of what steered him toward sport medicine, he said, was a desire to get people active and keep them that way.

“I want to see people get better function and be able to do what they want to do with their lives and improve their health through exercise,” he said.

A sport medicine fellowship at the

University of Michigan, a huge NCAA school with 2,000 student athletes, first threw him into what he describes as “the opposite of inner city-type medicine,” dealing with highly motivated college athletes on the Wolverines football, basketball, hockey and soccer teams.

At Fortius Sport & Health in Burnaby, Crookham works with more of a mix.

He admits treating elite athletes, like Olympic freestyle snowboarder Mark McMorris and Canadian-born English national team soccer player Owen Hargreaves, is exciting.

“The interesting part about it is their goals and what they’re going to do with

it,” Crookham said. “The depth of the outcomes are really significant.”

But at the end of the day, he said, the underlying question for professional athletes is the same as for anyone else trying to stay active.

“The crux of the question here is, ‘Why does it matter that your shoulder hurts?

What do you want to be able to do that you can’t do because of your shoulder?’

That’s sort of the deeper question,” he said.

Local reporter is not bionic quite yet ON MY BEAT

Cornelia Naylor

For 14 weeks, NOW health reporter Cornelia Naylor has been assigned to undertake a “Fortius challenge,” setting fitness and performance goals and experiencing

first-hand the many ways Burnaby’s Fortius Sport & Health can help.

As a rehab project, the team will zero in on a lingering shoulder injury, but Naylor will also get a chance to sample everything else Fortius has to offer, from massage therapy to diet advice to vision testing to a scientific analysis of her running gait.

Here’s her second report:

I

’m at Fortius looking forward to my first physiotherapy appointment, which I’ve been

told will include a “musculoskeletal assessment.”

Whatever it is, it sounds thorough, and at age 47, my musculoskeleton is due for some kind of state-of-the-union once-over.

Like all the therapy rooms at Fortius, my room has sliding doors on either end – one opening onto a corridor, the other onto a therapy area lined with mirrors, exercise machinery, fitness balls, a row of physio beds and lengths of rubber tubing dangling everywhere.

Mike Foster, a longtime local physiotherapist who joined Fortius Sport & Health when it opened in May 2013, saunters in from the busy room and slides the door closed behind him.

Turns out my whole musculoskeleton is not on the menu.

My right shoulder, however, is scrutinized at every angle and in every position, and will apparently give us plenty to work on.

“I can get my finger right in there,” says Foster poking his

finger between my shoulder blade and back ribs. “We need to get these muscles stronger.”

Seems I’m not supposed to be able to hook my right shoulder blade (which looks a little like a bony flipper when I poke it out) over the back of my chair.

“Your rotator cuff is not bad, but your shoulder blade is weak,” Foster says.

Fortius: Tiny shoulder circles key to reporter’s recovery continued from page 13

reiterates what Fortius sport doctor Jason Crookham has told me about my too-mobile shoulder.

“Your rotator cuff is four different muscles that come from here and wrap around into your shoulder,” Foster says, “and when those are coordinated and working well with your shoulder blade muscles, your ball stays in the middle of the socket.

If any of those muscles are weak or irritated, this will move around too much and will cause pain.”

Forster and I move into the therapy area for the second half of our session, and my rehab commences with four shoulder strengthening exercises.

They are, in the words of my son (a university football player who’s inherited his mom’s lax shoulders and already been through physio) “surprisingly lame.”

For one of them, I lie on my back with my arm

straight in the air and move it in tiny circles.

Doing these exercises faithfully over the next few weeks, I am told, will be the key to my recovery – not bionic implants, but tiny circles in the air.

During our session I ask Foster – who has rehabbed pros and recreational athletes alike – what the hardest part of his job is.

He answers without hesitation.

“Unmotivated people,” he says. “If people aren’t motivated and not doing what they’re supposed to do, they’re not going to get better.”

That’s not me, of course, but I leave Fortius with some low-level foreboding nonetheless.

Next stop, massage therapy.

Disaster scene: Paramedic students and police trainees took part in one of two 90minute simulations at the Justice Institute in New Westminster last week. Participants, who also included nursing students and UBC medical residents, had to work as a team during a simulated shooting incident to stop the ‘shooters’ and care of the casualties.

Jennifer Gauthier/burnaby now

Preparing for the unthinkable

eople are in danger, others are injured and suspects remain on the loose.

That’s the scenario students were thrown into on Friday during a live training simulation at New Westminster’s Justice Institute. Students from the institute’s paramedic academy joined police trainees, medical residents from UBC and nursing and psychiatric nursing students from Douglas College for two 90-minute simulations.

The event was the largest multi-agency training simulation held at the New Westminster campus.

During the simulations, students were required to respond as they would in the field, with medical personnel managing

casualties and injured civilians, while police secured the scene and searched for the suspects.

“Simulations are really the heart of the applied public safety education and training that students receive at JIBC,” Dr. Laureen Styles, academic vice-president at the Justice Institute, said in a media release. “These training simulations provide students the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills in a safe learning environment.”

The provincial mobile medical unit was supposed to be a part of the event but was pulled out a few days prior.

Students had access to field hospital facilities instead.

2015 Lincoln MKC: luxury for the right price Design

David Chao

contributing writer

The MKC shares a platform with the Ford Escape, and features a unique style. To give it an elevated level of refinement over its Ford cousin, the MKC receives Lincoln-specific mechanical and feature upgrades.

Epitomizing Lincoln’s new, youthful look, the MKC sports the brand’s contemporary split-wing grille. This is framed by high-efficiency HID headlamps with LED accents.

The MKC has a sleek profile, enhanced by crisp shoulder creases and sculpted body panels. The low, flowing roof and high beltline give it an athletic nature. Available 19- and 20-inch wheels add to the bold image.

At the back, full-width LED taillights compliment the front lights, and the distinctive wraparound liftgate combines form with functionality.

T

he most youthful offering from Lincoln yet, the MKC, was designed with driver comfort and fun-to-drive manners in mind and comes with a host of premium amenities. Lincoln is targeting the growing base of new, young buyers as well as current owners looking to downsize as their needs change.

The MKC is an all-new crossover SUV for 2015, and enters Lincoln into the fastest growing market segment against established rivals such as the Acura RDX, BMW X3 and Audi Q5.

It’s a tall order, but I was thoroughly impressed with the new MKC and taken back by its strength in comparison to one of the strongest leader in this class, the Audi Q5, which I currently drives.

DS S T N E 31 R R FE B E F O O T OC

A nice touch is the standard approach detection system. This feature senses your arrival and then illuminates the exterior lights, including the door handles, which are colourkeyed to the vehicle. The Lincoln logo appears in front of both driver and passenger doors and warm ambient cabin lighting welcomes you in.

The cabin is an inviting environment, with premium materials such as aluminium and natural wood.

The available Vista Roof is expansive and allows both front and rear passengers a great view of the sky.

Performance

Customers of the 2015 MKC have a choice between two turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder engines. The base engine is also used in the Ford Escape and this 2.0-litre motor is rated at 240 hp Lincoln MKC Page 20

Your journey starts here.

Lincoln MKC: Measures up in the fast-growing crossover SUV segment continued from page 19

and 270 lb-ft of torque.

The MKC’s optional engine is an all-new 2.3litre unit that will also be equipped in the 2015 Ford Mustang. It produces 285 hp and 305 lb-ft of torque. Through the use of turbocharging, direct injection and twin variable cam timing, Lincoln was able to make this smaller powertrain powerful and efficient.

To help improve the MKC’s fuel economy, it has class-exclusive active grille shutters, which make it more aerodynamic at highway speeds.

The six-speed SelectShift automatic transmission is mated to both engines. The wheelmounted paddle shifters allow the driver to change gears quickly without taking their hands off the wheel, or they can leave it in full auto mode and relax.

The MKC comes standard with Lincoln’s Intelligent All-wheel Drive system, which includes Continuously Controlled Damping (CCD). Using Lincoln Drive Control, drivers can select from sport, comfort and normal modes to suit their mood, while CCD constantly monitors the road to provide a smooth ride and enhanced handling.

Advanced safety technologies are also available on the MKC. Highlights are the collision warning with brake support and a lane-keeping system to help drivers avoid common accidents.

Lincoln introduces new park-out assist technology on the MKC, which guides the vehicle into parallel parking spots as well as assists with parking-out manoeuvers from tight spaces.

The MKC was developed primarily for onroad driving, therefore it has a wider track and lower centre of gravity than the Ford Escape.

This, along with its exclusive suspension and steering calibrations, give it a more surefooted character.

It’s not as sporty as the German competitors, but the steering feel and the ride characters are inline with some of the best models in this class.

Environment

Inside the MKC, crafts-

manship and technology combine to create a warm, luxurious cabin. Lincoln’s signature push-button gear selector adds to the open, airy feel by removing clutter from the centre.

The SYNC feature with MyLincoln touch system enables drivers to personalize their MKC through the eight-inch touchscreen.

User-friendly knobs and buttons on the centre console provide quick and easy access to the climate control and sound system.

The general usage has improved over the years but in reality, SYNC/ Touch system is still a bit awkward to use.

The MKC’s power front seats offer a comfortable and supportive seating position to people of every size. The 60/40 folding rear bench is less accommodating as it is fixed in its position. This results in the MKC having less total rear legroom than some of its rivals.

MKC has 25.3 cubic feet, expanding to 53.1 with the seatbacks folded down, which is competitive with others.

Accessing that space has been made easier thanks to the MKC’s foot-activated hands-free liftgate. If your hands are full, with the key in your pocket or purse, simply kick your foot under the rear bumper to effortlessly open the hatch. Pressing a button, or waving your foot under the bumper again, will smoothly close it again.

Standard on all MKC models, Active Noise Control reduces unwanted engine noises while enhancing desired sounds to improve the driving experience. Microphones monitor the cabin’s sound profile and cancel out anything which would disrupt the serene environment.

Features

The MKC is available in two models with the base 2.0-litre engine starting at $39,940 and the new 2.3litre beginning at $49,650.

Standard equipment includes perforated leather heated front seats, heated exterior mirrors, dual-zone automatic climate control, rearview camera, keyless entry, and remote start.

Additional features, available as options or on higher trims, include ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, heated steering

wheel, universal garage door opener, navigation system with voice recognition, blind spot monitoring with cross traffic alert, and an embedded modem.

Fuel efficiency numbers (L/100km) for the base engine are 12.4 city and 9.0 highway. The optional

engine returns 12.9 city and 9.2 highway.

Thumbs Up

The MKC is more youthful and contemporary than most other North American SUVs, and has a delightful road manner.

Thumbs Down

Lincoln’s movement towards a younger customer base means they had to sacrifice interior volume. As a result, some rivals offer more rear passenger legroom and cargo space.

The Bottom Line

The 2015 Lincoln MKC is an upscale crossover SUV that offers sophisticated styling, excellent comfort and many luxurious features for the right price and design.

Charlford House appoints new ED The board behind a women’s recovery house in Burnaby has appointed a new executive director.

Valerie MacLean, a former RCMP officer, will now lead the board of directors for the Charlford House Society for Women.

After police work, MacLean moved to the nonprofit world, starting with the Better Business Bureau of Mainland B.C. She spent 12 years there and became accustomed to being in the

limelight, as she developed a reputation for exposing illegal and unethical businesses.

MacLean then moved to the B.C. Crime Prevention Association, the Vancouver Police Foundation and the Rental Housing Council of B.C. Charlford House runs a 15-bed supportive housing operation in Burnaby but helps women from all over the province. editorial@burnabynow.com

Stop Heartburn

and Reflux Naturally

Prevent reflux by having an alkaline balanced stomach with the Bell Acidic Stomach & Alkaline Balance #39.

You may not need more chemicals or drugs ever after. Many millions suffer needlessly. Read the guarantee.

Truthful actual experiences from real people: !Reflux gave me a sore throat and I could not sing in the church choir anymore. After taking Bell #39 I have no more reflux and rejoice in singing again. Helene Giroux, 65, Quebec, QC !Have family history of heartburn. For last 10 years I suffered a lot with acid reflux. I told all family members about #39 being all natural, giving quick relief with noside effects and no antacids needed anymore. Michael Fasheh, 49, Port Ranch, CA !Very happy with acid reflux relief. Last 4 years had increasing reflux despite taking antacid products. Grzegorz Smirnow, 43, Mt. Prospect, IL !Burning in my stomach, bloating, headaches all stopped! For 20 years I was tortured with stomach acid, reflux, belching, even my brain was affected. Within 2 days after taking Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline balance I had relief of all my health problems I suffered with for so long. Floyd D. Davis, 89, Denham Springs, LA !Heartburn, acid reflux, stomach trouble for many years. Doctors gave me different pills, but I had no lasting relief. Had every test known to man. I finally talked to my health food store and they said Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance really works. It sure does. I had my husband and son take it and they all had the same results. I can now eat even spicy food with no problems. Verna Conti, 80, London, ON.

CONTROL WEIGHT = CONTROL BLOOD SUGAR

By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD. Long term weight control without controlling blood sugar is destined to fail. This is why we have an epidemic of obesity. How it works: Stops the “roller coaster” of cravings and appetite to eat foods like sugar and starches that cause high blood glucose levels, which then brings on your pancreas to automatically pump insulin into your blood stream. Subsequently the high level of insulin precipitates low levels of blood glucose and cravings for more sugar and starchy carbohydrates (breads, noodles, crackers, cereals, french fries) which you don’t need and therefore it goes into unwanted fat storage and being overweight. Experts now recognize these basic facts.#40 Bell Blood Sugar Imbalance helps to stop this vicious cycle and puts you in control. Dr. Hammond says this natural product works 10 times better because it reprograms our brain and pancreas to release insulin in a controlled manner. Helpful non-fattening eating suggestions in the box. Fibers and exercise like walking are beneficial and help after you control the underlying basic blood sugar imbalance. ! Working in a health food store I heard people saying how well #40 works. I tried it myself. Finally a product that controls my blood sugar much better than what anything else we had in the store. Thank you for helping people around the world. Irene M. Urdialez, 43, Brynton Beach, FL ! My medical indicated prediabetic. I took #40. When re-tested readings were fine. This helped my metabolism and my weight is down 25 lbs. I am grateful to the health food store people for their advice. Michael O’Brien, 60, Rutherglen, ON ! I finally found the right #40 NPN 80040208 approach to lose weight. I tried for 3 years to lose weight. After starting #40 my blood sugar is stable now. I was able to stop overeating and lost my excess weight. Sara John, 40, Kitchener, ON ! I was struggling for 15 years with weight gain in spite of diet and exercise. I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic. I will forever be grateful to the store manager that explained to me to take #40 and read suggestions to avoid fattening foods. I lost 70 lbs. My fasting blood sugar is now 92. My 2 hour post meal glucose level is now 92 as well. My new shape raised my self-esteem and gave me immeasurable peace of mind. Karen Maples, 55, Clarksville, TN !Diabetic eliminated high blood sugar levels with #40. My readings were 140 to 200 and are now 99 to 122 range where I want it to be. Before I bought about 10 different supplement that were more expensive and didn’t work as well. I also lost some weight. A great improvement in my health and daily living. Roger Light, 57, Fort Lauderdale, FL.

Calming Stress

Helps to promote healthy mood balance, relaxation, use as a sleep aid and mental stress. Stress is one of the main causes of high blood pressure.

Truthful experience by people: ! I am calm now in stressful situations! In the past 10 years I had a very short fuse, because my job is quite unpredictable. After I started Bell Calming Chronic Stress #66 the difference was amazing. My reactions to stressful situations are totally changed. I also have more energy, too. I don’t yell at others. I have more patience and I am much happier as well. Thank you. Mary-Anne Thompson, 61, Lasalle, ON ! It truly made me feel calmer. I was able to better cope with stress and was not afraid to deal with stressful situations head-on, instead of avoiding them as I had done in the past. Consequently I was also able to sleep better at night. No more waking up hyperventilating from stress of the day.

Peter Armbruster, 48, Waterloo, ON. ! I have a very high stress career in the film industry. There was no time for relaxation or meditation as you are on demand for 12-15 hours a day with no breaks. Since using Bell #66I am able to focus on the tasks at hand with more patience. Thank you for your help! Christina Ollson, 36, Burnaby, BC !It’s exactly one year since we began using Bell Calming Chronic Stress #66 for our two #66 NPN 80041855 sons. Our local health food store recommended it. Both of our sons suffer from anxiety disorders. Our older son (14) was going through puberty and had become quite unmanageable, because he is much larger than I am. We are delighted with the immediate results. Our older son became his former sweet self and our younger son’s (12) anxiety is dramatically reduced. Thank you so much.

SOLO District soars high in North Burnaby Brentwood is a sought-after neighbourhood with great outdoor cafes and fabulous shopping, parks and trails, recreational amenities, and a historic business district, all within walking distance. That’s where you will find North Burnaby’s most exciting new development – SOLO District.

Jim Bosa’s Appia Developments has unveiled the second of four SOLO District towers to be built on the 6.65-acre site in Burnaby’s most liveable urban community, and will feature Burnaby’s tallest residential tower ALTUS. Equivalent to a 55-storey high rise, ALTUS will feature a collection of 280 beautifully appointed one, two and three bedroom homes, ranging from 534 to up to 1,709 square foot for the 3+ bedroom penthouses.

(Homes start on the 15th floor).

“ALTUS is the second of what will be four residential towers and it is selling very well,” says Lisa Murrell, sales and marketing manager for Appia Developments.

Jim Bosa’s Appia Developments – part of the BOSA family legacy – continues its long standing tradition to build well-designed, quality homes while ensuring home owners receive exceptional service each and every time.

The sweeping panoramic views are another of SOLO District’s strong selling points. To the west is the city of Vancouver and Vancouver Island, to the north, the glistening North Shore Mountains and the majestic Lions, to the south, Burnaby’s Central Park, and to the east, Golden Ears Mountains and Mount Baker.

The contemporary sleek glass building, with its stunning double-height lobby with concierge service and three high-speed elevators, caters to the changing demographics of North Burnaby.

People are also taken by the exquisite interiors. Suites are outfitted with Italian Armony Cucine cabinetry with soft-close doors, engineered laminate wood flooring, custom roller blinds and nine foot ceilings.

Homes come with state-of-the-art Energy Star sustainable features, such as a geothermal heat exchange system.

“It will have the distinction of being Burnaby’s second fully air conditioned residential building, next to SOLO District’s STRATUS,” adds Murrell.

That’s not all. The project also includes more than 100,000 square feet of retail space, with anchor Whole Foods Market, the world’s largest retailer of natural and organic foods for healthy living, along a pedestrian friendly street.

In addition, owners will have access to Club 55, sitting over 550 feet into the air, crowning Altus. The over 5000 square foot private amenity space features a fully landscaped rooftop terrace with a barbecue area complete with wet bar and outdoor seating as well as a media centre, full kitchen and much more. For fitness buffs, there’s a well appointed health studio with a unique outdoor “all-court” situated on the 3rd floor of the tower.

This shared space is available to Altus residents as well as the office tenants.

Owners will also be close to the urban hub, just minutes away from shopping, services, restaurants, grocery, entertainment as well as schools such as Simon Fraser University and BCIT. Across the street, they can access the Brentwood Station of the Millennium Line, connecting to downtown Vancouver in only 20 minutes.

When you look at the entry price-point level starting at $298,900 and the quality finishing that has been put into the spacious and luxurious homes, this is excellent value. Here is your opportunity to buy in Burnaby’s most exciting neighbourhood.

For more information, call 604-298-8800 or visit www.solodistrict.com.

The Sales Centre is located at 2131 Willingdon Ave. (1 block south of Lougheed Hwy). It is open daily, except Fridays from noon to 5 p.m.

Completion for ALTUS is slated for late 2016.

As close as it gets: Alpha Aztecs captain Marcelo Estay, right, goes up for a ball against a Burnaby Mountain opponent in the BNW high school senior boys’ soccer final at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex-West on Wednesday. Alpha won 1-0 on penalty kicks.

’Tecs nip pride in BNW shootout Tom Berridge sports editor

Two huge saves by Harrison Lee in a shootout helped the Alpha Aztecs to the banner in the BurWest high school boys’ soccer final.

Lee guessed right on two Burnaby Mountain shooters and Keenan Malloy then struck the game-winner to give the Aztecs a 1-0 victory over the previously undefeated Mountain Lions in the district final held at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex-West on Wednesday.

“I did what I had to do,” said Lee following the shootout win. “I stepped up.”

In fact, the whole Aztec side stepped up following a red card late in the second half of regulation time that left the North Burnaby school playing a man down the rest of the way and through two periods of overtime.

“The red card almost benefited us. We gave it our all,” added Lee. In the opening period of extra time, Malloy sailed a free kick dangerously into the box.

Alpha looked even more dangerous in the second OT session

following a nice set-up by Oliver Morrison-Harding to Marcello Caporale on a counter attack.

“We weren’t going to take that (red card),” said MorrisonHarding. “We went down a player, and we went out and raised our level of play.”

The Aztecs had two more free kicks go wanting in the period before Morrison-Harding unleashed a cannon of a shot on goal that Mountain keeper Lucas Kliman had to be sharp on as the referee’s whistle signalled the end of the game.

Alpha went on to win the penatly shootout by a 4-3 score, but it was Mountain that got the upper hand early.

Tomi Fagbongbe opened the scoring for the Lions, and then Kliman made a hand save on a shot by Matthew Beaulieu. The Lions capitalized again on their second shot to lead 2-0.

Cristiano Basso got Alpha back in it, calmly stroking a well-placed ball past Kliman.

Alpha made its next three shots from the spot, including goals by captain Marcelo Estay and Caporale, while Lee was busy outguessing the Lions’ shooters.

“Honestly, we wanted it more,”

said Morrison-Harding, who had a solid game in the midfield for the Aztecs. “We wanted it way, way, way more. We’re younger, faster and stronger.”

Alpha certainly proved its speed, particularly in the first half, where the ’Tecs enjoyed much of the play.

Early on, Morrison-Harding was unlucky off a Basso free kick, miss-hitting the ball as it landed in the box.

Andre Ferrao put a Caporale free kick on goal and MorrisonHarding was unlucky again on the ensuing rebound at the corner of the goal.

The second half was more Mountain’s as the unscored-on regular season winner began to find its stride.

Fagbongbe had Mountain’s first good scoring chance with a shot on goal. The nifty striker also set up MinWoo Sung with a chance off an attack that went high and wide of the Aztec net.

Meanwhile Kliman looked unstoppable, palming away a solid chance by Alpha’s Tomas Silva late in regulation time.

Sohrab Sarhadi also had a nice run in the first half that set up a Lions’ free kick.

“(Mountain’s) a good team.

They beat us 1-0 in the season. It was a lucky bounce,” said Alpha coach Antoni Salov, who has been with the team since they began in Grade 8.

“In overtime and down a man, we just took it to them. We said, ‘We’re going to take it,’ yeah.

“They were very hungry today. … I think they really want to go to the provincials. We’re hoping.”

On Tuesday, Nov. 4, Alpha will take on the North Shore playoff winner in the first game of AA regional qualifying for the upcoming provincial championships.

Mountain is the No. 1 BNW AAA seed despite Wednesday’s loss to Alpha. The Lions will face the North Shore champion on Monday, Nov. 3 at a time and place still to be determined.

Mountain advanced to the district final with a 2-0 victory over Byrne Creek. Alpha nipped AA No. 2 Cariboo Hill 2-1 to earn a berth into the banner final.

“Most of us are mostly Grade 11s,” added Morrison-Harding.

“We wanted it more and honestly, that’s why we won. “This game was way harder (than the 1-0 loss to Mountain). It was way more intense.”

Simon Fraser University shut out the South Dakota School of Mines in the second half en route to a 53-31 win in NCAA Division II football action on Saturday.

The Clan trailed 31-26 at halftime but scored 27 points in the second half to move into sole possession of second place in the Great Northwest conference with a 2-1 record.

Linebacker Jordan Herdman forced a fumble on the first play of the second half and Kristian Lawrence recovered the ball on the Hardrockers’ 23-yard line to start the comeback at Swangard Stadium.

Two plays later, Clan quarterback Ryan Stanford passed to Justin Buren for the go-ahead touchdown on a six-yard toss.

Herdman came up big again on the opposition’s second possession, sacking the South Dakota QB to force a punt.

SFU capitalized again, this time on a 14-yard sweep by Lemar Durant shortly after Notre Dame grad Stephen Spagnuolo took the ball into the visitor’s red zone on a 31-yard rush. The Burnaby running back finished with 83 yards on the ground.

The Clan scored touchdowns on the next two possessions as well.

“I told the entire team, this game was going to be a bit of a statement game – especially in the second half,” said SFU head coach Jacques Chapdelaine in a Clan press release. “How we answered the bell in the second half was going to determine how the rest of the season was going to go for us.”

SFU’s Cole Tudor had a game-high 93 yards rushing and two touchdowns, while Standord ended the day completing 28 of 36 passes attempts to 372 yards and four scores.

Buren led all receivers with nine catches for 123 yards. Durant also had Football Page 39

The Grandview Steelers got back to near .500 after dropping back-to-back games to the Pacific Junior Hockey League conference leaders.

The junior B Steelers lost 5-0 to the North Vancouver Wolf Pack at home Sunday.

Last week, Grandview also fell 6-3 to the Langley Knights, which currently leads the Harold Brittain conference.

On Wednesday, Timothy Chow scored the game-winning goal in overtime to give the visiting Steelers a 2-1 victory over the Aldergrove Kodiaks.

The win lifted Grandview into a thirdplace tie with the Delta Ice Hawks in the Tom Shaw conference both with 6-7 records.

Joel Gaudet also scored for the Steelers, tying the contest 1-1 late in the middle frame. Gaudet was also a game star in last week’s loss in Langley.

Nicholas Anderson made 32 saves to record the win in goal against the Kodiaks.

Grandview hosts the Abbotsford Pilots at the Burnaby Winter Club on Sunday. Puck drops at 4 p.m.

Clan split with first-place Spartans Tom Berridge sports editor

Simon Fraser University split a homeand-home series with Trinity Western University in B.C. Intercollegiate hockey last weekend.

The Clan club team lost 3-2 at the Langley Events Centre on Friday before rebounding with a 5-4 shootout victory over the Spartans at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre on Saturday.

Nick Sandor and game star Mathew Berry-Lamontagna, with the game-winner, potted goals in the penalty shootout to hand Trinity Western its first loss of the season.

Berry-Lamontagna also scored earlier in the game, tallying his first of the season in the closing minute of the opening period.

SFU led 3-1 after two on secondperiod goals from Trent Murdoch and
