City mosque pitches in for refugees Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

As Canadians prepare for the impending influx of thousands of Syrian refugees, a local Burnaby mosque is stepping up to help. The Masjid Al-Salaam and Education Centre has applied to sponsor a refugee family and has been calling on other mosques in the province to do the same. Daud Ismail, the chair of the mosque, explained the congregation has been raising funds to sponsor the family. He noted it costs about $30,000 to sponsor a family of four for the first year, and the mosque has surpassed the number already. “We’re very pleased, it’s moving in the right direction and hopefully we can help these people who are in desperate and dire need,” Ismail told the NOW. He said the centre has been working with other faith-based groups and intends to hold future fundraisers to raise more money for the family. The mosque doesn’t know which specific family it will be sponsoring yet and is awaiting for the application to be approved. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has pledged to keep his campaign promise Continued on page 9

to avoid it. After all, their main purpose is to make money, so they don’t give it away,” Corrigan said. Last March, Staff Sgt. Major John Buis said the RCMP would not release the final costs of the operation and suggested the NOW file an access to information request. Under the Access to Information Act, the RCMP’s Ottawa office has 30 days to respond to a request, but in this case, staff took six months provide the documents. Some of the pages are titled “Kinder Morgan expense summary” and include

MONEY MYTHS

It’s been one year since the mass antipipeline arrests on Burnaby Mountain, and there’s still no clear cost for the overall policing operation, but Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan says the city was not stuck with the entire bill. The NOW filed an access to informa-

tion request for documents showing the total cost of the Burnaby Mountain police presence and received what appears to be a partial report for local expenses only, but no one in the RCMP will comment on the data. The issue of who would pay was a contentious one, with Corrigan expressing concerns the city would be on the hook. But Corrigan said the city only paid for Burna-

by’s officers. “We paid for our RCMP and what our RCMP did,” he said. “We certainly haven’t put ourselves in the position of having to accept responsibility for those (other) costs, and there hasn’t been an approach made directly to council at this point in regard to that.” Kinder Morgan has not made any payments for the policing costs, according to Corrigan. “Kinder Morgan talks a big game, but when it comes time to pay the piper, Kinder Morgan is going to do everything they can

Family loses everything By Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

At 35 weeks pregnant, one local woman never dreamed she would spend the final month of her pregnancy looking for a new place to live, let alone buying new furniture and essentials. Kristen and Nathan Sundevic had already been through more than most people when the adjoining suite of their duplex caught fire Tuesday afternoon. Last year, 29-year-old Kristen was diagnosed with cervical cancer. She underwent surgery and completed treatment until she was deemed in remission. Before the diagnosis, she and her husband had been trying to have a baby. For five years, the couple endured endless doctor appointments in hopes of one day having a child of their very own. About eight months ago, their dream finally came true when Kristen found out she was pregnant with a baby boy. In August, the couple moved from Vancouver to the upper suite of a four-unit duplex on Halifax Street. It was a larger place than they had been in before, perfect for a new family, Kristen told the NOW. But on Nov. 24, their dreams went up in smoke. “I’m really pregnant, so

usually I am sleeping on Tuesday afternoons when I get home from prenatal class, but I was feeling really guilty that I don’t have our bag packed to go to the hospital yet. So I was working on that, and I was really hot, so I had my patio door open to the bedroom, and I heard a lady shouting, ‘Are you OK? Do you need help?’” Kristen recalled. When she went outside to see what was going on, she saw smoke coming from the suite next door. Kristen ran back inside to grab a fire extinguisher, but by the time she made it back outside, the windows had shattered and flames were shooting from her neighbour’s suite. Kristen watched in horror as her neighbour, already covered in burns, grabbed a garden hose and went back inside to fight the fire. “I assumed that he’d die, so I just ran in to get my cat and dog,” she said. Kristen threw the pets in her car and moved it out of the driveway so it wouldn’t get burned by the growing inferno. She called 911 and watched as her neighbours’ suites were engulfed by the flames. Thirty-two firefighters, eight fire trucks, two rescue trucks and one command vehicle were sent to battle the two-alarm blaze, assistant fire Chief David Continued on page 5

CITY DEVELOPMENT

Brouhaha doesn’t change council’s mind By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

It may have been a heated public hearing over a proposed development in the Metrotown area, but the outcome likely did little to diffuse the affordable housing fight in the city. On Tuesday, council approved a zoning amendment that would allow for the construction of a 27-storey apartment building and townhouses on Marlborough Avenue and Imperial Street. The development was the latest battle ground between

affordable housing groups opposed to the new developments in the Metrotown area and the city, which continues to approve applications for large high-rises. The issue boiled over briefly during the public hearing as protestors, who filled the council chambers, disrupted the meeting for about 10 minutes. In the end, the meeting continued with council approving the development that will mean the demolition of four older apartment buildings. In all, 47 units will be lost to the development, although one eight-

unit building was vacant due to a fire. Coun. Paul McDonell said there is little the city can do, arguing the city can’t be in the business of building social housing and the buildings in question were at the end of their life. “There’s not much we can do really.They’re (developers) within the bylaws right now,” he told the NOW after the meeting on Thursday. McDonell added the city is growing and the current situation comes with that growth. He also said the city

doesn’t have the means to replace the older buildings and suggested the developers aren’t going to do it since they’re not in the business of subsidizing affordable housing. Instead, the councillor hopes the new federal Liberal government will come up with a national housing plan to alleviate the problem. But Rick McGowan with the Metrotown Residents Association doesn’t believe Burnaby’s hands are tied and instead suggested the city has neglected the area for years waiting for redevelopment.

He noted the most recent approved development will lead to the displacement of more low-income families in the neighbourhood. McGowan said the big concern for the association is just how much redevelopment and densification will take place in the neighbourhood, adding there is a lot of speculation in the community. “If they plan to demolish all those affordable low-rises in Metrotown, then they need to be honest about it,” he said. “It is a community already, and basically they’re replacing it.”

McGowan also believes the city will continue to approve developments without seeking public approval. “I think that what’s happening here.They’re going to ask for forgiveness rather than ask for permission from the people that are living in the neighbourhood,” he said. McGowan said it’s up to his group and the other involved in fighting the city to continue to educate the public on what’s happening in Metrotown. COMMENT ON THIS AT

‘It could be a lot worse’ Continued from page 3 Graystone told the NOW on Wednesday. When firefighters arrived, they managed to rescue Kristen’s neighbour from the fire. He was rushed to hospital. “The fire was coming out of the windows when we arrived, so what we did was we attacked it from the outside at first, and then knocked it down,” he said. All the tenants escaped the blaze, along with two cats, one dog and the Sundevic’s more than 20 reptiles. Two other cats, believed to be living in the suites gutted by the fire, were not as lucky. One cat was found barely alive by firefighters when they first entered the duplex, Graystone said. “We tried to resuscitate it, but it was too badly injured,” he said, adding that all Burnaby fire trucks are equipped with oxygen masks specifically designed for animals. A fourth cat is still missing.

Fire investigators, meanwhile, will be combing through the home over the next few days to try and determine what caused the blaze. It appears the fire started in the downstairs suite of the eastern half of the duplex, however Graystone said he couldn’t confirm this until after investigators completed their report.

This’ll just be a big bump in the road.

While the flames didn’t cross over into the Sundevic’s suite, all their possessions have been contaminated by smoke and asbestos. Kristen’s husband was allowed to return to their home onWednesday to look for two missing bearded dragons, which he found, and he told her everything was covered in a heavy layer of black soot.

“He said everything is pretty much covered in black stuff, and we can’t have anything until they see if maybe some things are OK, or we have to hire some kind of disaster crew to just get rid of everything,” Kristen said. With five weeks to go before Kristen’s due date, her cousin April Michelson has started an online fundraising campaign to try and collect donations to help the couple restock. Despite the hardships the couple has faced over the past few years, Kristen is trying to stay positive as she and her husband await the birth of their first child. “It could be a lot worse,” she said. “In the grand scheme of things, long term, we’re doing really well this year. … This’ll just be a big bump in the road, but we’ll get by.” To donate to the Sundevics’ crowdfunding campaign, visit www.youcaring. com and search ‘Helping Kristen, Nathan, and Baby Sundevic.’

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Don’t deep fry that turkey on the balcony ‘Tis the season for festive fun, time with family and, sadly, house fires. And not the kind in the fireplace that everyone gathers around holding a hot mug of cocoa. The majority of house fires year round are caused, according to national statistics, by smoking and cooking.The person who falls asleep on the couch after a hard day’s work while having a cigarette is still one of the leading culprits for house fires. Right behind

him or her is the person who forgets they’ve left the bacon frying on the stove. Grease fires are fast and deadly. But during the winter months when the temperatures drop, people often use a number of ways to try to stay warm. Space heaters are the usual addition. But some folks have used stoves, and open fireplaces.Throw in the multitude of candles that seem to be required for that festive glow in homes,

and you have accidents just waiting to happen. Over a century ago folks used to put lit candles on real Christmas trees, have kerosene stoves and gas lights. Needless to say, they had more fires and less chance of surviving them. Nowadays if a family is careful and follows basic safety rules, chances are they can avoid disasters. But even the most cautious folks can have accidents. Electrical shorts, overloaded plugs

Smoke damage is not to be underestimated – there are numerous ways a fire can start in a home. This past week in Burnaby several people are reeling from having house fires impact them. As our page 3 story shows, one fire can have a

tremendous impact on a family. Smoke damage is not to be underestimated. Anyone who has had their belongings affected by smoke knows just how damaging it is. So, please, folks – don’t become another fire story in our pages. Don’t go crazy with the candles. Don’t overload sockets or plugs. Don’t leave stuff on the

stove unattended. Don’t ever smoke when you’ve had a couple of drinks and you’re nodding off on the couch. Don’t leave space heaters on when you’re not around. Don’t throw a log on the fire before you go to bed. Don’t try and deep fry that turkey on the balcony. Stay safe! COMMENT ON THIS AT

MY VIEW MIKE PRIARO

Fatal ﬂaw in pipeline plan Kinder Morgan’s application to expand its Trans Mountain pipeline with a twin line, currently before National Energy Board hearings, is fatally flawed because of Kinder Morgan’s insistence on expanding its existing marine terminal in Burnaby. The Trans Mountain pipeline from Edmonton to Burnaby is the only existing outlet forWestern Canada oil to west coast tide water. Two-thirds of the demand for refined petroleum products by the 3.5 million residents of the B.C. Lower Mainland andVancouver Island is met by batching refined products from Alberta refineries down the existing Trans Mountain pipeline. Kinder Morgan has said it will cost $1.2 billion more to go to a new marine terminal in Tsawwassen than to expand their existing marine terminal in Burnaby. However, a pipeline to Tsawwassen would not require crossing the Fraser River, drilling through Burnaby Mountain, or greatly expanding the tank farm on Burnaby Mountain as does Kinder Morgan’s current proposal. One must weigh increased tariffs due to higher cost against the cleanup, economic, social, public relations and insurance costs of a major dilbit spill in one ofVancouver’s harbours or in Burrard Inlet. And one must weigh higher tariffs against the very real possibility that no additional dilbit tankers will ever be al-

lowed to navigate through Vancouver’s harbours – whether the NEB approves the Trans Mountain expansion or not. Any higher tariffs required to go to a new marine terminal in Tsawwassen will be at least partly offset by lower costs to ship crude and refined products using two million barrelVLCC-class tankers than the 500,000 barrel Aframax-class tankers that shippers are limited to for navigation through Vancouver’s harbours and under the Second Narrows’ bridges. The larger tankers reduce the number of Salish Sea tanker transits by threequarters as well as reducing the nautical miles of Salish Sea that is traveresed. Re-routing the end-point of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain expansion proposal to Tsawwassen using the existing Roberts Bank Rail corridor’s right-of-way removes the largest obstacle to expanding pipeline capacity toWest Coast tide water – large increases in tanker traffic throughVancouver’s harbours. If Canadians want increased capacity toWest Coast tide water, the safest place for a marine terminal on the B.C. coast must be pursued because it is unlikely the existing Northern Gateway pipeline or Trans Mountain expansion will ever be built as proposed.

Refugee reaction brings a sad déjà vu

Thieves clean out school’s earthquake supply locker

Dear Editor The Greater Vancouver Japanese Canadian Citizens’ Association (GVJCCA) denounces the despicable terrorist attacks in Paris and other parts of the world. We call for a stop to the backlash (including petitions) against Syrian refugees who are trying to escape violence in their country. We stand in solidarity with Muslim Canadians who are facing increased attacks, including a physical assault against a mother wearing a hijab and the burning of a mosque in Ontario. We find it very disturbing to hear some American politicians suggesting mass internment is necessary, repeating disinformation from 1942 when 120,000 Americans of Japanese ancestry were imprisoned. Their only “crime” was that they looked like the people who bombed Pearl Harbour. Japanese Canadians have a sick feeling of déjà vu, because in 1942, we too were incarcerated. Using the War Measures Act, our government targeted Canadians of Japanese ancestry as “enemy aliens,” stripped them of their rights, and sent them to internment camps. There was no evidence of wrongdoing, and no consideration of the loyalty of Japanese Canadians, including Second World War veterans and those who had been in B.C. since the 1800s. We urge our government and Canadian citizens to withstand the ignorance and fearmongering, and welcome Syrian refugees. Lorene Oikawa, president, Greater Vancouver Japanese Canadian Citizens’ Association

What people think but dare not say Dear Editor Re: Why should Burnaby house the refugees?, Inbox, Burnaby NOW, Nov. 25. Please note that I am in total agreement with Larry Bennett. I want to add that the new wave of refugees brings people from another world, who expect us to honour their so-called religion by changing our well-established way to those of the newcomers. And there is always the possibility that their nice and well-behaved child will be radicalized. What I wrote, most old emigrées like myself think but dare not voice. And I can not end without mentioning affordable housing, homeless on the street … you get the drift. Marina Wilson, by email

Kudos to the NDP Dear Editor Congratulations to B.C. NDP leader, John Horgan, and the NDP Opposition for coming up with a viable alternative to the Site C dam. “PowerBC” is a plan that answers environmental concerns, avoids First Nations court challenges, and promises to create a wide range of good jobs for generations to come. Rather than build a $9 billion dam, the approach suggested by Horgan – upgrading existing dams, generating stations, transmission lines and investing in new energy sources – is a much more realistic solution to the provinces future energy needs. But is the B.C. Liberal government about to buy into such a forward thinking plan? As evidenced by the knee-jerk reaction of Energy Minister Bill Bennet, the B.C. Liberal government is stuck in the 1950s with its megaproject mentality. Janet Routledge, Burnaby

Heidi Bouillet Cogan “If the “big one” were to hit tomorrow, students and staff at Lakeview Elementary would be left without any supplies for the first 72 hours.” No, how about students at ALL schools that haven’t been able to fundraise for earthquake provisions will be left without any supplies. Unfortunately these kinds of emergency supplies will always be at risk of theft & vandalism but that does not mean that the province shouldn’t be providing these essentials to schools. @sosfirstaidbc @BurnabyNOW_ News this is horrible!

Dag Kudos to my local government for fighting this monstrosity that Kinder Morgan is trying to visit upon us. earlrichards The citizens of Burnaby should carry-out a plebiscite against KM, which would be similar to the plebiscite held against Enbridge by the people of Kitimat. The judge should have stopped Kinder Morgan from entering Burnaby, until KM comes-up with some world-class equipment to clean-up a toxic, tar sands spill. Remember the Kalamazoo.

Why does Burnaby have to take refugees? hannah WhiteHorse. It is the biggest city in the North. Already has the infrastructure and could use some new inhabitants. But we know what will happen. All of the refugees like all of the immigrants will come to Vancouver and Toronto, in this case Vancouver since it is the warmest climate in Canada. So if any ISIS members sneak in it is Vancouver that will pay. Keith So are you suggesting we send ALL of the refugees to Whitehorse or just the ones Burnaby is supposed to take in? Either way Whitehorse does not have anywhere close to the same resources available as there are in Metro Vancouver. For a matter of perspective, Whitehorse has a smaller population than Courtney, B.C. So while it may be the largest city in the north, it is not a large city by any stretch of the imagination.

HARPS, FLUTE, CHOIR PURE CHRISTMAS MAGIC

RCMP mum on policing costs Continued from page 1 expenses for staff, police officers, equipment and snacks over a period of several days in late November. The report, which was released in paper format only and in barely legible tiny font, contains 28 pages that appear to outline a running total of expenses, but it’s impossible to be sure without RCMP confirmation. The RCMP’s Ottawa office refused to offer any explanation about the documents, instead referring the NOW to the local Burnaby detachment, and no one at the local detachment is talking.

The total for what appears to be RCMP office staff (which includes people handling communications, records and the switchboard, for example) is $20,591 over several days. Meals, coffee, snacks, water and other “expenses” totalled more than $10,000. (See sidebar below for detailed items.) The running total for police, staff and all expenses appears to peak $510,675.82, but again, it’s difficult to say as police aren’t willing to talk. Estimates at the time were running around $1 million for

The tab:

Training vehicle repairs: $9,954.53

Here are some of the costs associated with policing the protests: Cleaning of prisoner van: $378.70

Electrical cords: $189 Heaters: $302.40 Hand sanitizer: $75.92 Toilets from RCMP supplies and services:

the full cost. Last November, Buis told the NOW police officers cost roughly $100 per hour, although he wouldn’t say how many were on the mountain. Police units present included the Lower Mainland Integrated Tactical Troupe, aboriginal policing from E-division, the Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team, a team of negotiators and the Integrated Forensic Identification Team. Police kept a 24-hour presence on the mountain in the conservation area. Last fall, police were on

Burnaby Mountain to enforce a court-ordered injunction against protesters opposed to the Kinder Morgan pipeline.The order forbade people from interfering while the company conducted survey work for a new pipeline route.The standoff was roughly 10 days long, although police were on the mountain before the injunction kicked in on Nov. 17. More than 100 people were arrested, but all charges were dropped because Kinder Morgan had the wrong GPS coordinates for the no-go zone.

City now CAR CRASH AND A NAKED MAN ON THE RUN

Busy night for city RCMP Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

It was an eventful few hours for local RCMP in North Burnaby last Thursday night. Around 9 p.m. officers were called to the 200 block of Fell Avenue near Dundas Street after a car crashed into the side of a house.

The driver of the vehicle was arrested for impaired driving, and his car was impounded. No one was injured in the crash. “He was issued the roadside screening device, which he failed, then he was subsequently arrested,” Cpl. Daniela Panesar, spokesperson for the Burnaby RCMP, told the NOW.

The 48-year-old Burnaby man was released from custody and has been issued a 90-day driving suspension under the Motor Vehicle Act. His car will also be impounded for 30 days. About four hours later, shortly before 1 a.m., officers were called to Hastings Street near Warwick Avenue

following reports a naked man was running around the area. The man was apprehended by police under the Mental Health Act. He was taken to hoispital by paramedics. No charges were laid.

Refugees are terrorists’ victims Continued from page 1 for Canada to accept 25,000 Syrian refugees, 10,000 by the end of the year and the rest by February 2016. The plan has sparked a sometimes nasty debate among those who want Canada to open its doors, and others who are concerned terrorists might find their way into the country. The recent terror attacks in Paris have only added fuel to the debate. Ismail agreed security is also a concern, suggest-

ing there needs to be stringent scrutiny of the refugees coming into Canada. However, he also argued the Syrian refugees are the victims of the same terrorism that many people around the world fear. “We should not deprive as human beings to help when they really need our help and support,” Ismail said. The mosque has also come out condemning the terrorist attacks in Paris. “We’re all upset about these cowardly acts by indi-

We’re all upset about these cowardly acts viduals who are doing these things in the name of Islam,” Ismail said. “The vast majority of Muslims condemn this, they are very peaceful loving people.” Following the Paris attacks, there been some isolated incidents across the

country targeting Muslims, including a mosque in Peterborough, Ont. that was set on fire. That kind of violence has fortunately not occurred locally. Instead, Ismail said the mosque has received an outpouring of support within the community, noting just last Friday an unknown couple dropped by the centre with flowers. It’s a gesture Ismail said was appreciated by the mosque.

Help sought at Xmas

The Burnaby Christmas Bureau is offering local residents a chance to experience the true spirit of the giving. Every year, hundreds of low-income families ask to be sponsored through the Christmas Bureau. Parents fill out a wish-list of holiday food and gifts for their kids, and the bureau matches them with donors willing to buy and deliver the items before Christmas. “We’ve been encouraging sponsorship for the last few years, and we’ve really seen more stepping up,” said Stephen D’Souza, executive director of Burnaby Community Services, which facilitates the bureau. Burnaby-based Ritchie Brothers Auctioneers, for example, buys and decorates Christmas trees for several families and supplies grocery vouchers. Staff members then buy gifts for the kids and deliver the whole package. The company’s Megumi Mizuno said the families are overwhelmed by the generosity. “You could tell by the way they talked about their children – it was very heartwarming – and that it was going to make a difference in their lives,” said Mizuno. “We’re lucky we’re all able to provide for our families.We have jobs, and we can make it special for our own families, but not everyone in our community is lucky,” she added. To sponsor a family through the bureau, call 604-299-5778 or visit www. burnabycommunityconnec tions.com.

Book bonanza: A bibliophile browses this year’s bounty at the annual SFU Burnaby book sale. The sale took over a hallway off the academic quad for three days last week and raised nearly $13,000 for the United Way. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR

An annual book sale at SFU’s Burnaby campus raised nearly $13,000 for the United Way last week. Tables of books lined a hallway off the academic quad from Tuesday to Thursday, and book lovers were helped by a team of about 50 volunteers. “I enjoy connecting people with books,” volunteer Percilla Groves, a former SFU librarian told the NOW between sales. “This is a way to connect a lot of people with a lot of books.” Volunteers collect books all year and store them in a room off the West Mall. Last week, 40 varsity football players helped unload the year’s bounty (19 pallets, about 650 boxes) from a forklift onto the tables. “That’s a lot of books and in 10 minutes they had them all off the pallets and onto the floor and tables,” said book sale coordinator Jeff Rudd. The book sale is part of the university’s United Way campaign, which also includes bake sales and the annual Faculty Smackdown, during which student-nominated faculty debate ridiculous questions for a good cause. To donate money to this year’s campaign, volunteer for future campaigns or donate books any time, www. sfu.ca/unitedway.html.

Some gift ideas for the gardeners in your life Anne Marrison GREEN SCENE

editorial@burnabynow.com

Gardeners who are mourning dead trees and shrubs and dehydrated plants might love any Christmas gift that could help them through a similar dry spell next year. Few people say, “Oh, how beautiful!” about presents that make watering easier – but these gifts can be met with gratitude for years to come. The heritage-type wooden rain-barrels are nicelooking and last a while if treated with respect. But they tend to leak when liquid runs low. Sometimes wooden half-barrels can be found with plastic liners, but these are better at creating container ponds than for storing water. More workable choices are sturdy plastic barrels that are crafted to look like heritage ones.These have useful variations like flat backs (to fit against a wall), links for adding extra barrels, screening and water taps and spigots for attaching hoses. There are also budget-priced barrels of polycarbonate that also feature screens, spigots and are linkable to other barrels. Stands are available for

them.These give water barrels enough elevation for filling watering cans. Not everyone wants to give up beautiful wall-side plantings for rows of barrels. But it is possible to buy connectors so that downspout water is carried to wherever the barrels have been placed. From these hoses can be attached. People who have been struggling with vinyl hoses that kink and resist being straightened after being coiled for winter storage, might be glad of a chance to try a rubber hose instead. These are heavier, but much more cooperative. Those of us who still have sore backs after a summer spent lugging buckets of grey water to thirsty plants might be quick to see the value of a small submersible pump. Like the other watering gifts, it’s a utilitarian present. But these pumps are so valuable because they can be plunged into a waterfilled bath or washing machine and connected to a hose.This works best with a sprinkler head that can be stopped briefly and started again as one moves from one dry area to another It’s possible to find birdbaths that are large, ornamental pottery saucers. Some are one colour (often blue), while others have

plant motifs painted on them.These are wonderfully mobile because they can be hung on a branch. Others come with a lightweight stand. Another interesting gift might be a self-watering planter in which plants are grown in a top container, the floor of which is porous to water. A second container below is for water – refillable by hose or watering can. Plants grow well providing the bottom space is kept well filled up. For container gardeners, ceramic plant minder watering bulbs may be useful if the soil is not a kind that dries out very fast.These are plain globes that fit into a porous terracotta cone that should be soaked in water before use, then filled with water. Once attached, the water oozes very slowly out of the globe and into the terracotta cone, which weeps water into the surrounding soil. There are large or small versions of “Plant Nanny” terracotta spikes, in which the water-holder can be a wine bottle or any large plastic pop bottle. Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions. Send them to amarrison@shaw.ca. It helps if you mention your region or city.

Your journey starts here.

Fiesta

Surprisingly agile BY DAVID CHAO

The Ford Fiesta enters 2016 as one of the most acclaimed “supermini” cars for its blend of high-tech features, outstanding efficiency and fun-to-drive personality. The subcompact segment is filled with many worthy competitors. A few of the strongest rivals are the Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris and Kia Rio, to name some. To combat them, the 2016 Fiesta receives a few small, but key, updates - the Fiesta is one of the first in Ford’s range that is available with SYNC 3.

Design

All models, save the performance-focused Fiesta ST, are available in two different body styles. The practical 5-door hatchback is the popular choice, but a traditional 4-door sedan is an option if you prefer something more conservative. The hatchback models offer more cargo space and its proportions are pleasing to the eye; in particular, the Fiesta ST has a fantastic design that garners plenty of attention.

1.6-litre 4-cylinder. This motor is available with either a 5-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic and offers a nice blend of power and efﬁciency. Those looking for greater fuel economy can choose the optional 1.0-litre 3-cylinder. Using a turbocharger, it achieves better efﬁciency and slightly more horsepower and torque: 123 hp and 125 lb-ft versus 120 hp and 112 lb-ft on the standard engine. This engine is only available with a 5-speed manual. The Fiesta ST boasts 60% more hp than the base model, which is shocking in such a small vehicle with a reasonable price tag. The turbocharged 1.6-litre inline-4 produces 197 hp and 202 lb-ft of torque. While those are not out-of-this-world numbers, the Fiesta’s light weight and the engine’s instant response feel bring a true fun driving experience. Its 6-speed manual is quick and direct too.

Regardless of the body style, the Fiesta is stylish and distinctive. Sharp lines are visible from all angles and its standout feature is the large grille. Note: the thick C-pillars do create a sizable blindspot.

Considering the price point, the standard Fiesta already has excellent handling. But, the ST takes it to a whole new level.

Bright colours reﬂect the Fiesta’s fun-loving personality. New for 2016 is the SE Black Package that comes with unique 16-inch wheels, black trim and black mirror housings.

Major upgrades to the suspension, brakes and steering mean that the Fiesta ST handles like a go-kart and torque Vectoring Control nearly eliminates understeer. Overall, the Fiesta ST feels very balanced and neutral for a front-wheel drive car and has very little body roll.

While the Fiesta is Ford’s entry-level model, that fact is not immediately apparent inside the cabin. Use of hard plastic is limited and the soft-touch dash is especially plush, making the car appear more upscale.

Performance

The Ford Fiesta is available with three engines, each with a distinctly different character. The majority of buyers will likely opt for the standard

Even in base trim, the Fiesta’s quick and direct steering means it’s willing to play, but the ride is comfortable and little engine and road noise enters the cabin so long trips are not tiresome.

Environment

The interior design is as bold as the exterior. The sweeping dash is dominated by the central display screen and mobile phone-inspired button layout. The base model does feel a bit spartan, but as you move up the range you are treated to leather seats, contrasting seat piping, ambient lighting and push-button start. Five passenger seating is adequate in both sedan and hatchback models. However, it should come as no surprise that the rear seat is cramped in the subcompact Fiesta. Entry into the back is easier with the hatchback because its

openings are wider. Also, once inside, the sedan’s sloping roof slightly reduces headroom. There are many useful storage spaces found throughout the cabin; front door pockets are a decent size, the glove box is large and there are various other handy cubbies for smaller items. The deep centre storage doubles as an armrest for the driver and front passenger. The hatchback also has a much larger cargo capacity than the sedan version. To start, the wider opening eases access to the 423-litres in the hatch, over the 362.5-litres in the sedan. To further extend its advantage, the rear seats can fold 60/40 to create 720-litres of maximum volume. Regardless of the version of Fiesta you choose, it has an excellent driving position. The seat and steering wheel have plenty of adjustment, plus forward visibility is great. One interesting advanced feature is the MyKey system. This allows owners to set parameters on top speed and audio volume - an excellent idea if the Fiesta will be used by novice drivers.

Features

Starting prices for the Ford Fiesta range from $15,399 to $24,999. Standard equipment includes cloth seats, air conditioning, manual windows, power door locks, and an AM/FM stereo with CD/MP3 capability. Additional features, available as options or on higher trims, include an alarm system, SiriusXM satellite radio, leather-trimmed and heated front seats, voiceactivated SYNC 3, and a Sony audio system. Fuel efficiency numbers (L/100km) for 1.6-litre models with the manual transmission are 8.5 city, 6.5 highway and 7.6 combined. Automatic models return very similar numbers with 8.7 city, 6.4 highway and 7.5 combined. 1.0-litre models see 7.5 city, 5.5 highway and 6.6 combined, while the 1.6 turbo is rated at 9.0 city, 7.1 highway and 8.1 combined.

Thumbs Up

The addition of SYNC 3 makes operating the infotainment system faster and easier. The Fiesta’s selection of engines are wide and interesting.

Thumbs Down

While the Fiesta is a great driver, it’s not the most practical in this segment. There are also rivals that are more affordable and reﬁned.

The Bottomline

If you are looking for a stylish, economical subcompact, the 2016 Ford Fiesta checks a lot of boxes.

How to live well with chronic conditions DavidicusWong HEALTHWISE

editorial@burnabynow.com

An important focus of primary care is the management of chronic disease. This includes high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease and chronic lung disease.The proactive, planned management of these conditions has been shown to reduce complications and hospitalizations, prevent premature death and improve quality of life. The term “chronic disease” carries a negative connotation. I prefer the term “chronic condition.” After all, each of us shares one chronic condition; it is sexually transmitted, incurable and has a 100 per cent mortality rate.That condition is life. On good days (and I’m hoping that for you that means most days), you recognize that it’s not all bad. We don’t choose the conditions of our lives, and we don’t deserve misfortune, but we can choose to make the most of what we have. We remain agents of positive change.We can learn and do what we can to maintain the best quality of life so that we can pursue our personal dreams and do what is most meaningful to us. And we can be agents of

positive change by helping others struggling with their own chronic conditions, providing the support that we can and empowering them to be active managers of their own lives.

We treat people, not medical conditions. That’s how I see my role as a family physician. In health care, we treat people, not medical conditions.We help our patients manage their health in the context of their whole lives.That man-

agement has to be tailored to fit the unique life of each individual. Doctors and nurses have traditionally had the habit of labelling patients with their conditions.They might call the first patient on the OR slate, “the 7:30 gallbladder.” There is a tendency to call people, asthmatics, diabetics or hypertensives. Patients can label themselves when they are first diagnosed with a chronic condition. A first heart attack can sometimes be a wakeup call to finally quit smoking, start eating a healthy diet, exercise appropriately and reduce other risk factors. Continued on page 32

They learn what areas of their health require more attention and how lifestyle changes reduce the potential for complications that would otherwise threaten their eyes and kidneys and the circulation to the heart, brain and feet.

Car-Sharing Comes of Age –

With Vancouver Developers on Board

he goal is unabashedly lofty: become the “greenest city on the planet” by 2020. And while the jury’s still out on whether Vancouver’s Mayor Gregor Robertson will make his pledge a reality, there’s no question Vancouver has become a poster child for eco-friendly living. Robertson’s goal also dovetails neatly with the car-light or even car-free lifestyle that’s become a well-documented trend in real estate. As increasing numbers of tech-savvy millennials reject the concept that owning a car equates to a status symbol, forward-thinking developers are finding new designs to give this influential demographic homes that make it easier to meet all their transportation needs through a combination of walking, cycling, transit and Metro Vancouver’s burgeoning carshare programs.

Why Car Sharing is Smart

Like many industry insiders, Brian McCauley, president and COO of Concert Properties, believes providing onsite carshare parking in new developments is smart for many reasons.

“Obviously anything that reduces our carbon footprint is something we should all be looking at. But consider that a parking stall typically costs the homebuyer $20,000 to $30,000 and in downtown Vancouver that could be $50,000. For a demographic that doesn’t see any value in owning a car, the saving adds up to a lot of extra affordability without any sacrifice.” Then there are the ongoing financial incentives. “Owning a car usually implies a monthly loan payment that immediately reduces the amount of mortgage you’ll qualify for,” says Mark Pribula, general manager of Zipcar in Vancouver, the second car share program to arrive in Vancouver (in 2007 – Modo launched 10 years earlier in 1997). “When you add up other costs like insurance, gas, parking, maintenance and depreciation, our members save, on average, $700 to $1,000 per month per vehicle.”

Heavy-Handed City Move

While most municipalities already give developers who provide car-share parking a break by reducing the number of resident parking stalls required, the City of

Vancouver at one point took the concept one step further. During the rezoning process at Wesgroup’s River District in south-east Vancouver, the developer was not only required to provide parking, they had to provide and pay for the cars as well. It was a move many in the industry saw as unduly heavy handed. “I’m a huge fan of car-share programs,” stresses Beau Jarvis, Wesgroup’s senior vicepresident. “However, I’m not a fan of the way the City implemented a requirement that forced us to essentially give the car-share program free cars. And in the discussion about affordable housing, that’s a cost that will ultimately be passed along to the consumer.” Since then, the City of Vancouver has made car-share spaces an option and offers a variety of incentives to encourage developer uptake. For example, according to corporate communications spokesperson Jag Sandhu, the City may now allow a developer to substitute a single car-share stall for five private parking spaces. Residents save money on the cost of the stall itself as well as being

able to reduce the number of vehicles they own and operate.

Security Concerns

Offering parkade parking does, however, raise what is probably the only significant drawback – how to maintain the security of an underground parkades if the co-op cars are parked there. Jarvis says he believes the City should allow some increase in street parking to compensate. Alan Woodland, executive director of the Car Sharing Association, says he’s delighted by the way acceptance of car share programs has “exploded” since 2009. He also sees easy access as an important piece of the homeownership puzzle. “Upcoming generations of homebuyers wish to have mobility but they don’t wish to own a depreciating asset,” he says. “I believe that in the future, the demand for private cars will continue deceasing as more people opt to live car free or go from two to one car. Paying $20,000 or $40,000 for parking spot that sits empty most of the time doesn’t make sense. So why not use that money towards a better lifestyle?”

On the ball: Team B.C. proved unstoppable at last week’s Western Canadian netball championships at Burnaby’s Fortius Centre. The B.C. under-18 side bested its Alberta rival by scores of 48-7, 51-10 and 49-14, while B.C.’s u-21 side swept Alberta 71-14, 63-23 and 73-30. Above, Sophia Chen, at right, positions herself to make a pass in her u-18 game. At far right, Brittany Antipas goes vertical in hopes of blocking an Alberta pass. The u-18 team is preparing for the B.C.

Aztecs Couture exits with CFL dream intact end BCs in SFU lineman earns second All-Conference honour to complete four-year career sixth spot Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

The ending wasn’t what it could have been, nor was it where they wanted to be. The Alpha Aztecs completed the B.C. AA boys soccer championship with a disappointing 3-2 shootout loss to Archbishop Carney on Wednesday, but its sting was nothing compared to the day before. That’s where the Aztecs’ charge to a top-four finish was tackled in a game decided by one goal and two cards. Early in the final pool contest Tuesday against McMath of Richmond, an Alpha player was yellow carded for what coach Antoni Salov said was an exchange following the play. It wasn’t anything he said to the referee, but words exchanged between rival players that drew the first yellow. Another card a handful of minutes later to the same player, before the game was 20 minutes old, put the Aztecs a man short; but even then, Salov said the effort was good enough to win. “I won’t disagree with the second (card) but I am at a loss for words to explain the first,” said Salov, who felt his team battled well through the extra adversity. Alpha opened the tourney with a 2-0 win over Duchess Park and a 2-1 victory over Mark Isfeld before meeting McMath. They rebounded to top Kwalikum 2-0 before falling to Carney.

Quicker, stronger, smarter – these have been the perameters that Burnaby’s Michael Couture has been working to improve on during his four-year playing career with the Simon Fraser University Clan. Through necessity, the 21-year-old has become adept at adapting to new challenges, as is a requirement when you play football on Burnaby Mountain. A senior, Couture was named to his second straight Great Northwest Athletic All-Conference team, earning the honour as an offensive lineman. Last year, he earned the honour as a centre. “It’s exciting, a nice honour,” said Couture of this week’s award. “When you switch positions you are focused on getting up to speed and I wasn’t expecting this.” In his second year, he played left guard after launching his

SFU career at right tackle. Every big enough and strong enough, year he was plugged into a differbut when you get into (the colent role, and three of those four lege game) everything’s so quick, seasons under a different coach. players are flying past you.” That kind of challenge was Moving to centre under thensomething he embraced – first head coach Jacques Chapdelaine, out of necessity, then presented the biggest with vigor. step. “I was told when “It was an eyeThe game I got to SFU I’d redopener, no doubt,” slows down a he said of 2014. shirt and just travel lot the more “I thought I knew with the team but in Week 3 we had some you know and stuff about football injuries and some but under (Chapplay. guys couldn’t make delaine) I learned it and I slotted in,” so much more.

The game slows down a lot the more you know and play.” The past season’s results may have been disheartening from an observer’s perspective – and Couture admitted finishing 0-9 was extremely humbling – the pick-ups and positives still stack up. “Nobody wants to go winless in your senior season, but I came in not worrying about the wins and losses,” he said. “The program has had a motto of celebrating adversity, with all the changes we’ve gone through. “Things in life don’t always go the way you expect them to, but its how you handle them and what you learn that will be most important.” In five of the nine games, SFU led at halftime. “We were a much better team Continued on page 42

Clan swimmers shred Burnaby meet records

A set of old records fell as the Simon Fraser University Clan swim team won eight of 11 events at the Clan Cup in Burnaby last week. SFU finished the three-day meet a powerful 26-for-37 overall, including six new meet records by Clan swimmers, with Gabriel Lee leading the way. The sophomore from Delta established

four new meet marks, including in the 200-metre backstroke on Sunday that saw him break his own record by two-10ths of a second. Lee’s time of 1:59.82 was more than 12 seconds faster than the nearest competitor. Lee also swam the anchor leg for SFU’s record-shattering 400m freestyle relay team, which peeled nearly two seconds off the pre-

vious mark. Joining Lee in that foursome march were New Westminster’s Justin Kiedrzyn, Colton Peterson and Adrian VanderHelm. Two days earlier, Kiedrzyn, Lee, Peterson and VanderHelm played a role in both the 400m medley and 200m medley relay recordsetting swims.

It’s been a whirlwind fourth season for Capilano University Blues’ Sarah Hughes. The Burnaby native has embraced the leadership role on her volleyball team with a roster mixed with fouryear vets and first-year freshmen. This past week, Hughes was the prime force in the Blues’ twin wins. On Friday she led a rally after a first set loss to overturn the Camosun Chargers 3-1 (16-25, 25-16, 25-21, 25-13) in North Vancouver. A day later, she was on point in a re-

He is still doing all the work with weights and footspeed with an eye on making the CFL. “I think the thing I’m always working on is my knowledge of the game. If I can maximize that I’ll have answers that the other guys won’t have.”

match that went the distance before the Blues prevailed 3-2 (29-27, 25-17, 24-26, 21-25, 15-8). “Our key factor was Sarah Hughes who was moving the ball around to different hitters,” said Cap coach Cal Wohlford. “Everyone as a team contributed to the win by either defence, blocking or serving… Everyone did something positive.” The sweep over Camosun countered the previous week’s result, when first-place Vancouver Island blanked the Blues in back-to-back 3-0 scores. Capilano stands deadlocked in second place with Camosun at 7-3. A setter, Hughes distributed the ball

like a magician and spun the ball supremely for the Cap hitters in a twowin weekend sweep. The St.Thomas More alumna added 38 set assists on Friday, then upped that total to 56 a day later, while also scoring nine points on well-timed dumps. Over the two matches she added 23 digs, nine kills, four blocks and two aces. She is currently ranked eighth in the PacWest in aces, having dealt 17 over 39 sets for an average of 0.44 per match, and 13th in digs, with 86 on the year.
