Fire chief questions wait times

Up in vapour:

Students are smoking e-cigarettes in local schools, but the district has no plans for a specific ban, as the devices should be covered under the current smoking rules.

Cornelia Naylor staff reporter

Burnaby’s fire chief doesn’t think a 90year-old woman with uncontrolled bleeding from her head after a fall should have to wait one hour and 23 minutes for an ambulance to bring her to hospital. But that’s what happened in January after B.C. Emergency Health Services downgraded certain types of medical emergencies last October. The woman’s case is one of 11 in Burnaby since October in which patients have had to wait more than one hour for paramedics. There were also 67 incidents of ambulances taking more than half an hour to arrive, and one 60-year-old woman waited for two hours after injuring herself falling down a flight of stairs. Such wait times, detailed in a Burnaby Fire Department report to Emergency Health Services vice-president William Dick last week, are unacceptable, according to local fire chief Doug McDonald. “There’s a moral issue here that we should do the right thing, and this is not the right thing,” he said. B.C. Emergency Health Services has been criticized by fire departments around the province since it downgraded 74 types of emergency calls in its resource allocation plan (RAP) from Code 3 – lights and sirens – to Code 2 – routine. McDonald said the new policy, which was adopted without consulting with fire chiefs, is flawed. Besides increasing wait times for calls now deemed routine, it ties up firefighter resources since fire crews still respond to the calls the way they always have and won’t leave a patient at the scene once they arrive. In a Tuesday press conference defending the new protocol, however, Health Ambulance Page 4

City students ‘vaping’ in school Jennifer Thuncher contributing writer

An increasing number of Burnaby secondary students are “vaping,” and it is sometimes happening right under teachers’ noses. Vaping is puffing on electronic cigarettes (also know as e-cigs, or vape pens), which release a steam-like vapour. Electronic cigarettes, which are marketed as smoking cessation devices, come in various shapes, sizes and flavours. Some resemble real cigarettes, complete with an end that lights up to simulate burning tobacco while others look like oversized pens. It is the pen variety some Burnaby teens said they see kids smoking, sometimes right in school.

“You see random puffs of smoke sometimes, and I have actually seen them in our classrooms, students trying to hide them from the teachers,” said Sydney Landrie, a Grade 10 student at Moscrop Secondary. Another Moscrop student, Csaba Laszlo, said he started noticing kids using electronic cigarettes at school about three months ago. “It is really out in the open,” he said. Electronic cigarettes were recently banned in Vancouver schools, and the Fraser Health Authority is currently contacting all its school superintendents to make them aware of concerns around electronic cigarettes and to recommend the devices be added to the school smoking bans. According to the Burnaby school dis-

trict spokesperson, Burnaby has no plans for a specific electronic cigarette ban for Burnaby schools because the current smoking ban covers all types of smoking. “The safety of (electronic cigarettes) has not been demonstrated,” said Fraser Health’s medical health officer Helena Swinkels. “There are many compounds in them and some compounds, including for example propylene glycol, have been shown to be respiratory irritants and, with longer term exposure, has been shown to be associated with asthma and other respiratory difficulty in children,” she said.

Fresh faces in the race Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

The race for the newly formed federal riding of Burnaby North-Seymour is shaping up to be a battle between relatively young candidates. While Terry Beech, 33, is hoping to be the Liberal candidate, Burnaby’s Trevor Ritchie, 24 is hoping to secure the NDP nomination for the riding. “I’m excited to be able to get my policy ideas out there,” Ritchie told the NOW. “It’s time to see what our generation can do.” Ritchie is a Burnaby North Secondary grad, who studied political science and education and is on his way to becoming a teacher. As for political experience, Ritchie volunteered on MLA Jane Shin’s provincial campaign and the 2011 Burnaby Citizens’ Association push for school board and council. Readers may recognize Ritchie’s name, as he’s a frequent letter-writer to the Burnaby NOW. “I’ve been writing all these letters to the editor, I figured it’s time to put my money where my mouth is,” Ritchie said.

Ritchie isn’t the only NDP hopeful; actor Michael Charrois is also interested in securing the nomination. The NOW was not able to get in touch with Beech for an interview before deadline, but according to his LinkedIn profile, he has an extensive background in business and is an adjunct professor at both UBC and SFU. Beech had a very early start in politics. He was first elected to Nanaimo city council in 1999, when he was just 18 years old, making him the youngest elected official in the country. The Burnaby North-Seymour riding was formed following a review from the B.C. electoral boundaries commission, which redrew the ridings for the province. The BurnabyDouglas riding was split in two, and the northern half became part of the new Burnaby North-Seymour riding, which includes a sizeable chunk of the North Shore. As for the Conservatives, the NOW did not hear back from the federal party’s headquarters. Neither the NDP nor the Liberals have a date set to choose their candidates. The next federal election is tentatively set for October, 2015.

Informed parents will understand the need for the limited strike launched by teachers this week even if it does affect them, say parents in the Burnaby school district. “The ones that are there every day and interact with the staff and trust the principal and trust the staff and trust what they’re trying to do in the best interest of their child, they’re going to get it and they’re going to be OK with it,” Westridge Elementary parent advisory council member Stace Dayment told the NOW. “The people that aren’t involved in their school, the people that aren’t there every day, that don’t know their teachers, that don’t know the staff, that don’t know the principal well, the ones that never go to PAC meetings and they don’t know what’s going on at their schools, it’s going to affect them and it’s going to piss them off.” Starting today, teachers around the province will stop supervising students outside of class and stop meeting and communicating with principals except about safety issues. The “low-level Stage 1 action” – as the B.C. Teachers’ Federation is calling the work-to-rule campaign – was announced at a press conference Friday, and Burnaby school district and union officials were quick to reassure parents

that students wouldn’t be affected. “It’s really focused on administrative issues only, and teaching and learning will continue in classrooms,” superintendent Kevin Kaardal told the NOW. “The major change that they’ll see in their schools is that at recess there will be management staff in most cases out supervising recess.” ButsimilarpromisesweremadeinSeptember 2011, the last time teachers launched a work-torule campaign, and Dayment remembers that’s not how it turned out. An American who had recently immigrated to B.C., Dayment’s first experience of Canadian education was when her daughter was enrolled in kindergarten just as teachers started their job action. “They weren’t allowed to put handouts in the backpacks. They weren’t allowed to tell us anything about the PACs. They weren’t allowed to answer questions. They weren’t allowed to do report cards,” Dayment said. “We thought, ‘Man, this is what school’s like? This sucks!’ I hated those teachers. I was so mad. How dare they?” But her perspective has changed completely since she started getting involved at her daughter’s school, she said. “I feel like there’s this strange tug-of-war that’s the teachers fighting for the kids,” she said, “and I feel like the other side is the B.C. government trying to sabotage what the teach-

ers do for a living.” Dayment cited the Burnaby school district’s $3.1 million operating shortfall projected for next year and proposed cuts to elementary music teachers and teacher-librarians. She said it’s unfair teachers have to risk angering parents to do the right thing for kids. “It’s so unfair because they have so little weaponry that they’re able to use,” Dayment said. “There’s no artillery except for doing things that end up pissing off parents.” Dayment’s sentiments were echoed by Jocelyn Schonekess, a Burnaby parent who has spent 15 years volunteering on school PACs, the District Parent Advisory Council and the B.C. Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils. “My thoughts are that parents who are aware of the issues are very supportive of the teachers,” she told the NOW. Ultimately parents and teachers are working toward the same goal, she said. “As a parent who volunteers and sees first hand how hard the teachers and parent volunteers are working to support all the children, it is very frustrating to see the system degrading each year as costs to the district increase, and more and more pressure is put on parent groups to fundraise for the sporting equipment, books, music and arts supplies, new technology, field trips and playgrounds.” Twitter.com/CorNaylor

authority is that teens may be getting exposed to nicotine without even knowing it. “In Canada, nicotinecontaining solutions are not legal, but there are many stores that do sell them and studies have shown some (devices) that say they don’t contain nicotine, actually do,” she said. What is most troubling to Swinkels is, according to some American studies, 10 per cent of youth who use these devices never smoked before they picked one up. “So it is not kids who are quitting, who are using them,” she said. Those youth who are buying the electronic cigarettes as a way to quit smoking may be misguided as well, Swinkels said, because there is no real evidence they help people kick the habit. Seventeen-year-old Mason Raymer said while he has not seen kids smoking inside his school, St. Thomas More Collegiate, he has seen them smoking off the school grounds. He said electronic cigarettes are readily available at stores near the school and because they come in

Services officials argued it has shaved 29 seconds off average response time for more urgent, Code 3 calls. They also suggested the “comfort” care firefighters provide on most Code 2 calls doesn’t make a difference to patient outcomes. While McDonald and other fire chiefs want B.C. Emergency Health Services to reverse its downgrade of the 74 call types, Dick said that’s unlikely. “Unless we find evidence that we’ve gotten something wrong, and right now I can tell you we’ve looked at 114,000 patients’ calls, and we’re getting it right.” Burnaby-Deer Lake MLA and NDP Public Safety and Corrections critic Kathy Corrigan, however, disagrees. She plans to take the Burnaby fire chief’s concerns to the legislature. ”Because they haven’t consulted with the fire chiefs, they haven’t consulted with the affected communities, they haven’t consulted with the front-line paramedics, all of whom have expressed deep concern about these changes, I think that means that they need to roll back on this and they need to take a fresh look at it,” she said.

Cops investigate shooting Jacob Zinn staff reporter

Police are trying to determine the circumstances of an early morning shooting that, at this point, does not have a victim. Burnaby RCMP responded to the 4400block of Carleton Avenue on Sunday around 5:30 a.m. after neighbours called in about shots fired in the area. Upon arrival, police found spent bullet casings outside of a residence. Two men who are known to police were located nearby and arrested but were later released without charges, even though they were still considered people of interest. Cops spent the evening trying to figure out who the suspects may have been shooting at. “There was no victim located at the scene,” said Staff Sgt. Ghalib Bhayani. “All the local hospitals have been notified to

contact us if somebody turns up with gunshot wounds. “We’re hoping that there’s no victim, but we’re also very concerned that something like this would happen in a quiet neighbourhood like that.” Until about 1 p.m. on Monday, police had taped off one residence as officers combed for clues inside. “We don’t believe it was a home invasion, but at this time, our serious crimes unit has conduct of the investigation,” said Bhayani. “They’ve been working all night on this.” Bhayani said the owners of the home are cooperating with police as they tried to find the connection between the property and the suspects. Anyone with information is asked to call Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). www.twitter.com/jacobzinn

OUR VIEW

Focus shifts from urban voters IN MY OPINION

Keith Baldrey

ith the legislature not in session this past week, Premier Christy Clark paid a visit to the political epicentre of her government. No, not her hometown of Vancouver. But Kelowna, B.C.’s “City of Premiers.” Her visit there was to showcase some modest government spending announcements – funding for an ice skating event, and money for flood protection – but the amount of money wasn’t the key aspect of her trip. Instead, the Kelowna visit served as a reminder that there has been a seismic shift in the B.C. Liberal government’s outlook and how that shapes its priorities. The result of the last provincial election forced that shift, and its impact will be significant as long as the B.C. Liberals hold power. I’ve noted this shift before, and now we are starting to see some examples of how this is playing out, and they’re not just about where the premier chooses to travel.

The breakup of the Agriculture Land Reserve into two zones, for example, is clearly designed to favor the outlying regions of the province, far away from downtown Vancouver. Allowing increased economic activity on land that may have been in the ALR since the days of the 1970s NDP government will no doubt be more popular than not in the Interior and the North. The relentless focus on building a liquefied natural gas industry and potentially creating tens of thousands of jobs (almost all of them located in the North) speaks to this government looking outside of Vancouver and its suburbs and not at them. Bill Four, which allows pipelines and transmissions lines to be built inside provincial parks (essentially, allowing a rightof-way through a park to allow economic development outside of that park) is more evidence the B.C. Liberals are less interested in courting urban voters, and more focused on winning support in natural resourcedependent communities. The cabinet order (subsequently rescinded last week after an outcry from First Nations) to exempt ski resorts and natural gas processing from a provincial environmental assessment review shows how Shift Page 7

much those in poverty live on daily for not just food but also shelter, clothing, medical and other costs. And, before anyone points out that $1.75 Canadian a day might be able to buy a lot more in some far-off place, the amount was calculated using something called the purchasing power parity to keep the concept relative. In other words, the $1.75 represents a relative quantity of spending money. It’s an extreme challenge – some would argue impossible – and that’s the point.

If we can’t do it, how can anyone anywhere? The truth is that poverty is a global issue – one that affects people right here in our city, and on the other side of the planet. Understanding the experience of poverty, even temporarily, may be a first step in shifting our priorities – and without that shift, nothing will ever change. To find out more, see www.livebelow theline.ca – and then dig into the change jar and start figuring out how to make those seven quarters last you all day long.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Creativity could alleviate cuts Dear Editor:

Re: District must make $3.1 million in cuts, Burnaby NOW, April 11. Ms. Moreau fails to note that these expected cuts are likely just a first round exercise. Why? District secretary-treasurer Greg Frank told budget meeting attendees – including me – that Burnaby enrolled 23,391 school-age children in 2013/14 and expects just 23,406 in three years (2016/17). “Static” enrolment – in a context of rising costs and fixed operating grants – is a strategic recipe for chronic fiscal deficit. Not surprisingly, Mr. Frank’s three-year financial forecast shows a cumulative deficit of $22.5 million. No one at the budget meeting – parent, teacher,

or custodian – wants these expected cuts. So why do the current trustees embrace policies that only compel cuts? There are alternatives, if trustees would abandon ideology and embrace intelligence, as I noted in my own presentation to them. They could adopt policies to draw additional students to underutilized schools to increase revenue. (And there are more school-age children to be found right here in Burnaby!) The last census found 29,578 local kids aged five to 18. But only 23,400 such children are in local public schools. So an estimated 6,000 Burnaby kids are being educated outside Burnaby public schools (see www.bcstats.gov.bc.ca/StatisticsBySubject/ Demography/PopulationEstimates.aspx).

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Try to attract new students continued from page 6

These missing kids have significant budgetary implications. Victoria automatically provides $6,900 (plus certain “needbased” supplements) to any public school enrolling an eligible school-age child. And Burnaby’s average per-pupil funding (base plus supplementary) now reaches $9,033 (see Chart c-12 www.bced.gov. bc.ca/accountability/district/revenue). This implies that attracting just 1,000 new enrolments (or 15 per cent of 6,000) could add $6.9 to $9 million to annual school board revenue (or $21 to $27 million over three years). Remember that $22.5-million deficit Mr. Frank projects? Giving school board staff direction to pursue revenue could eliminate this deficit, restore cuts and even add services. I think your readers – particularly teachers, custodians and parents of children now in the public schools – would like to know why the trustees are in such a cost-cutting rut. Why won’t they reach out to parents of children living in Burnaby but not now in local public schools – particularly, but not only, private school parents? This ought to be an easy dialogue given the economic advantage that B.C. public school administrators hold over their private school rivals in any competition to attract parents. Children enrolled in private school draw one half of the public funding granted for children enrolled in public school.

The difference ($3,500 vs. $7,000) cumulates to $42,000 over 12 years and must be covered by tuition fees. (Private school parents also pay full school taxes too.) Such raw cost considerations ought to give Burnaby trustees the undivided “attention” of private school parents. But what are the trustees doing with this considerable marketing advantage for public schools? Apparently not enough – given Mr. Frank’s “static” enrolment projection. I urge them to at least try strategic thinking – instead of ideological thinking – for a change of pace! For example, they could try surveying the parents of non-public school children to determine what programs or priorities might attract these parents to the local public schools. They could tout innovations such as the Roots of Empathy program or Burnaby’s music programs. They could consider additional “magnet” programs. How about some “AP” (advanced placement) public schools: places where the AP program is the norm instead of the exception? Above all, I hope that the trustees will embrace the following maxim: no organization – private or public – ever cut its way to greatness. And at least they should give Mr. Frank and his colleagues the opportunity to try attracting more children before they cut further into existing programs and teaching positions. G. Bruce Friesen, Burnaby

Shift: Clark looks to the Interior continued from page 6

far the government is willing to go to hasten development in the regions, even if it sidesteps environmental protection regulations (although the government argues its own review process is simply duplication of other, existing ones). It’s not hard to see how and why these policies have been arrived at. First, the B.C. government firmly believes developing the natural resource sector is the key to economic growth for the province in the coming decades. Secondly, though, is the fact the B.C. Liberals know the key to them remaining in power is to build and retain electoral strength along the Fraser River, and through the Interior and the North. Although the government has four seats in Vancouver, the election cost them two seats in the city. However, it increased

its voter strength in the regions and picked up an additional seat from there as well. Now, less than a quarter of the government caucus represents Vancouver and its northern and eastern suburbs. Power has shifted to the southern suburbs, and the outlying regions, and this is bound to help shape government priorities. There is also the psychological impact of Clark having been defeated in Vancouver-Point Grey. She has said on more than one occasion that losing in that riding made her realize she doesn’t have to worry about the urban green voters that dominate the coffee bars of Kitsilano and UBC. This brings me back to Kelowna, and why that city is poised for benefits less likely to flow Vancouver’s way. When Clark was there last week, the idea of a second bridge crossing

over Okanagan Lake was part of the conversation. Long viewed as part of a dreamy wish list for Okanagan residents, the project has suddenly taken on a new urgency, as Clark’s government has committed $2 million for study and planning purposes. It may take a decade to actually complete the bridge, but I like the odds of it being completed ahead of, say, a SkyTrain or rapid transit line down the West Broadway corridor to UBC. That SkyTrain line would travel through two ridings that gave the B.C. Liberals the boot last May. An Okanagan Lake bridge would impact three ridings that are represented by B.C. Liberal cabinet ministers and the premier herself. Bets, anyone, on which one has a better chance of being done first? Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Honour St. George with bangers and mash

Mayor Derek Corrigan, at the last council meeting, officially proclaimed April 23 (today) as the day to celebrate the life of St. George. St. George, born circa 275 to 281 AD, was a soldier in the Roman army and is revered as a Christian martyr after he protested the arrest of Christian soldiers. He was later executed. Now, 1,711 years later, his religious

persecution is still remembered by the Catholic, Anglican, Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox churches. The Royal Society of St. George is encouraging everyone to partake in a full English breakfast or a bacon butty (sandwich), along with bangers and mash, tea and a strong English ale, in honour of St. George. twitter.com/JacobZinn

Weight loss drug seized from store

An unauthorized drug that may cause cancer has been seized from a Burnaby retailer. Health Canada announced on Wednesday it had seized an undisclosed quantity of L-Showm Weight Loss Pills from U-Box, a store located at the Crystal Mall on Kingsway. According to Health Canada, testing of the weight loss pills determined they contained an ingredient that wasn’t listed – phenolphthalein. In the past, phenolphthalein was used as a laxative, but it is now believed to cause cancer and is no longer authorized for sale in Canada. According to Health Canada, phenolphthalein is also associated with a number of side effects including decreased blood pressure, skin rash and gastrointestinal bleeding. Anyone who has purchased L-Showm Weight Loss Pills should stop taking the drug and report any side effects to Health Canada by calling 1-866-234-2345.

Retired fire truck heading to Central America Cayley Dobie staff reporter

Talk about two birds, one stone. A Burnaby firefighter has found a way to extend the lives of fire trucks no longer in service and help firefighters in Central America. Prompted by a persistent Capt. Erik Vogel, the Burnaby Fire Department approached the City of Burnaby earlier this year about participating in an initiative founded by a retired teacher in Kamloops and quickly adopted by the local firefighters. Among other relief work, Operation Nicaragua takes old equipment from fire departments across the province and ships it south to the Central American country. Burnaby has donated other “It’s amazing. items in the past, They’re so excit- including 2,000 feet of hose and ed. We donate gear no lonour uniforms as ger used by the well, and they’ll department, but this is the first keep our patch time it has ever on and they’ll donated a fire put their (patch) truck. “This is just underneath it.” going to be perfect for them,” ERIK VOGEL Vogel said. Firefighter The truck the city is sending to Nicaragua is too old for Burnaby, but Vogel said its lack of new technology and gadgets is perfect for the small, rural departments that can be found in Nicaragua. And if the truck hadn’t been donated, its outcome would have been much more grim. “You’ll see this truck end up in a landfill or scrapped or someone will make a flat deck out of it. You see the old trucks all over,” he said. “This way it can be a whole new life and they can get another 20 years out of this thing, easily.”

Cayley Dobie/burnaby now

Donated: This fire truck, circa 1986, is being donated to a fire department in Nicaragua thanks to the persistence of local firefighter Erik Vogel.

The truck will now head up to Kamloops for a few months, where it will be fitted with other equipment bound for Nicaragua and driven back to the Lower Mainland. From here, it will be shipped south on a freighter. “They just chain the thing to the top of the deck, but it takes two months at least to get down there, and then it has to go to another Central American country and

then it gets put on a truck and driven to Nicaragua,” he said. “So it’s quite a process.” When the trucks and equipment bound for Nicaragua finally arrive, a group of firefighters and volunteers from B.C. fly down to meet with local firefighters and distribute the donations, Vogel explained. Vogel has gone twice already to volunteer with the program, and he’s hop-

ing he’ll get to go a third time, when the Burnaby fire truck, destined for the Corn Islands off the east cost of Nicaragua, finally arrives. “It’s amazing. They’re so excited,” he said. “We donate our uniforms as well, and they’ll keep our (Burnaby) patch on and they’ll put their own Nicaraguan patch underneath it.” editorial@burnabynow.com

This is formed by a pontic (artificial tooth) attached to the crown on one side and supported by a metal loop embedded in the adjacent tooth by the use of composite bonding. Only one of the teeth adjacent to the gap needs to be prepared for the crown. Those patients had one congenitally missing tooth and the tooth next to the space needed a crown.

Student artwork highlighted Banners on display in city made with art from student exhibition at gallery Jacob Zinn

staff reporter

Burnaby is starting to look a little more lively, thanks to some new banners designed by local students that are popping up all over the city. More than 300 street poles throughout Burnaby have been decorated with new banners, taken from artwork from the Burnaby Art Gallery’s Arts Alive program, an annual exhibition that showcases works by students from the Burnaby school district. The works were judged on communication of concept, materials and craftsmanship. This year, only a handful of pieces from Arts Alive were chosen to be positioned along major routes in and out of the city. “You’ll see them along Marine Way down in the south and around Hastings and going up Gagliardi in the north,” said Marie Ishikawa, manager of marketing and communications with the city’s parks, recreation and cultural services department. The city dug through works of art that appeared in the Arts Alive display over the last several years, as well as pieces that were not part of the exhibition. It took a while for the city to narrow down the selection to just three submissions. “We went through quite a bit of process to select them,” said Ishikawa. “We looked at the students’ artwork and thought, these are great, and we wanted to be able to showcase that.” The three works of art were created by two Grade 10 students and one Grade 7 student: Amelia E. of Burnaby Central Secondary, Yejin H. of Burnaby Mountain Secondary and Alana S. of Cameron Elementary. Respectively, they designed an ink portrait that blends various textures, patterns and shapes into the subject; a watercolour and ink image of a vibrant sunflower; and a pastel drawing of a silhouetted tree at sunset. “The focus of the piece was on a tree that reminded the artist of one she had outside her window when she lived in Israel,” said Ishikawa of Alana’s drawing, adding that it was one of the pieces the art gallery used to promote last year’s Arts Alive exhibition. “It just sort of reminded her of the calm and peaceful sounds of the wind hitting the tree branches, which is what inspired her to create the piece.” The 2014 edition of Arts Alive is starting up again today (Friday), featuring a variety of new works by Burnaby students. The exhibition runs until May 18 at the Burnaby Art Gallery, located at 6344 Deer Lake Ave. editorial@brnabynow.com

While waiting politely for a pedestrian to clear the intersection while turning right, this car received a wide grin and a giant wave from a woman wearing industrial welding goggles. She looked a bit like a bee. So does this. It’s the Beetle GSR, a special edition version of Volkswagen’s Turbo Beetle that’s a real honey of a car. Take that comment literally; this machine really does look like it was hatched in a hive.

Your journey starts here.

A real honey of a car that is so famous, you never heard about it until just now. Sold only in the German home market, it had 50hp from an aircooled 1600cc and slightly larger wheels and tires – no Muhammad Ali here. Still, for the time the car was fairly nippy, and marked a change for the humble people’s car from modest little fuelsipper to unlikely performance hero. This new version has 210 turbocharged horses to draw on: is it all buzz, or is there a sting in the new GSR’s tail?

What’s the buzz: The Beetle GSR is a special edition of Volkswagen’s Turbo Beetle – and it’s a fun car for someone with a sense of humour.

Your journey starts here.

Beetle: Limited edition GSR offers up a fun, buzzy set of wheels continued from page 21

might have been accused of being a bit cutesy in its homage to the sturdy, nononsense original. I mean a flower vase next to the steering wheel? That’s a bit much. However, when VW decided to drop the turbocharged four-cylinder engine out of the GTI into the car, those cute looks were suddenly hilarious. Here was a car from the Care Bear/My Little Pony school that was perfectly capable of dusting off the hot hatchbacks of the day. The new car is much less saccharine-sweet, with an extended profile that gives it something of the look of a Porsche. All GSRs get the cosmetic upgrades of the R-Line cars, which means aerodynamic trim including a large spoiler, and 19-inch alloys shod in wide, 235series rubber. There’s also LED strip lighting up front, and in case you missed the point, an all-over yellow-andblack graphics package that includes “GSR” proudly emblazoned on the flanks.

Environment

If yellow stitching on a flat-bottomed steering wheel can really be considered tasteful, then the inside of the GSR is more tasteful than the exterior. It’s actually quite reserved in here, and you might never know it was a limited-run model – except that VW has helpfully written that fact on the steering wheel. Just 3500 GSRs will be sold worldwide. With the original car, all were gone in just two months. In Canada, fewer than 100 will be imported, so perhaps the rarity value is worth something. As far as the rest of the interior goes, this is essentially just an R-Line Beetle with a few extra badges. You get comfortable, greatlooking seats that don’t provide quite enough lateral support as compared to a GTI, a very VW-looking dash layout, and a multigauge pod. Where the regular Turbo Beetle gets a neat carbon-fibre trim, this car gets matte-finish treatment to most of the surfaces, and the aforementioned yellow stitching everywhere. This particular version was equipped with the Beetle’s Technology package, which adds satellite navigation and an eight-

speaker-plus-subwoofer Fender-branded premium audio system. While the Beetle’s shape does limit headroom and would send most young parents tut-tutting and heading for a five-door GTI or a GLI instead, it’s actually not all that bad for short distances. A child seat does (barely) fit, and an adult passenger could endure a short lift across town. Essentially, owning this car requires something of a sense of humour, both inside and out.

Performance

Ten more horsepower – that’s all I’m asking VW, just 10 more horsies to give this blazing-yellow Bug some genuine performance credentials over and above the regular Turbo Beetle. No dice. Still, the original GSR didn’t have any more punch-buggy than the 1600 Beetle it was based on, so perhaps tradition is being upheld. Besides which, this isn’t really a car about winning races – this is a car designed around the concept of having a bit of a laugh. Two transmissions are on offer, a six-speed manual that’s a bit more engaging, or a $1,400 six-speed dual-clutch gearbox that adds stop and go practicality without losing much of the fun. The 210hp, 2.0L four-cylinder turbo is the same venerable mill that’s found throughout the VW lineup. It’s responsive and grunty, and it makes a really good noise. So, if you’ve got a racing helmet with a VW sticker on it, then maybe you’re best off sticking with the GTI, particularly the new one coming later this year which is simply excellent. But what if you just want to have a bit of fun? Here, the GSR becomes an out-and-out hoot. If someone in a more-powerful Focus ST wants to stoplight race you, then just roll your eyes and let them go – the GSR isn’t built for would-be Vin Diesels. Instead, it’s easy to drive, with much better sightlines than the old car, excellent grip on long sweeping corners, and a comfortable, upright driving position. It’s not a serious car, but the world is full of serious cars stuck in traffic. At least with this bright yellow package, you’ll gather a smiling

wave or two, rather than a scowl.

Features

As mentioned, the GSR is a trim beyond a fullyloaded top-of-the-line R-Line Turbo Beetle, so you get 19-inch alloys, full leather interior, Bluetooth

handsfree, heated seats, biXenon headlamps, etc., etc. Fuel economy for VW’s four-pot turbo isn’t bad, with official ratings of 9.0L/100kms city and 6.5L/100kms on the highway. Like any other turbocharged vehicle, you’ll

struggle to hit those figures if you drive the car as it’s meant to be driven, but VW is often closer than most.

Green light

Nice interior; sense of fun; responsive engine and transmission; unique appeal.

Stop sign

No better dynamically than regular Turbo Beetle; stiff ride; slightly compromised handling.

Checkered flag

Buzzy, but in the good way.

Singing her Phantom swan song Cayley Dobie staff reporter

Burnaby hockey star Michelle Toor bid adieu to the Fraser Valley Phantom this week in the most fitting way possible – playing with them one last time at the 2014 Esso Cup in Ontario. Toor, a senior at St. Thomas More, has been with the Midget AAA girls’ hockey team since 2011, where she’s led the defence in scoring two years in a row. The Burnaby native scored six goals this season and assisted on 20 more, including one of the goals that led the Phantom to a 2-0 victory over the Thompson Okanagan Rockets in the first game of a best-of-three B.C. championship series earlier this month. The Phantom followed their 2-0 win with a 1-0 in the second game, defeating the Rockets and earning themselves a spot in the Esso Cup, the national Midget AAA girls’ championship tournament April 20 to 23. “It’s exciting that I get to spend my last year with a good ending – going to nationals,” Toor said. This is the second year in a row the Phantom have played in the Esso Cup. Last year, the national championship was held in Burnaby, giving Toor the chance to play at home in front of her family and friends. “It was disappointing; we had high expectations to make it at east to the final four but fell a little short,” she told the NOW last week. The Phantom were eliminated early on, losing 1-0 against Ontario’s North Bay Ice Boltz in the

Stop: Burnaby native Michelle Toor blocks a shot during Fraser Valley Phantom’s first game at this year’s Esso Cup. This is the second year in a row Toor and the Phantom have made it to the national Midget AAA tournament. Last year the Lower Mainland team was eliminated during the preliminary round of play. preliminary round of play. “It taught us to make sure that we play hard every game. We play a full 60 minutes, and no letting up, because last year we didn’t make it into the final four because of one goal,” she said. The Phantom kicked off the Esso Cup against pacific rivals Edmonton

Thunder on Sunday afternoon in Stoney Creek, Ont. Edmonton beat the Phantom last season in the pacific championships, winning a spot in the 2013 Esso Cup. “We played them in the regionals and then we played them last year in the Esso Cup,” she said. “We’ve been practis-

ing some systems to play against them, and we’ve been watching them for the last three years, so hopefully we’ll be ready.” But despite a hardfought game on Sunday – the Phantom out shot Edmonton 34 to 33 – the B.C. girls weren’t able to take down the Thunder. With less than five min-

utes to go in the final period of the game, Edmonton defenceman Jessica Healey managed to sneak one by Phantom goalie Valencia Yordanov to make it 1-0 for the Thunder. The Phantom faced Esso Cup host Stoney Creek on Monday and came up short once again, losing 3-0 Phantom Page 24

Local golfers teed off in Pitt Meadows this weekend, placing in the top 10 for both girls and boys 14 and under divisions. Burnaby’s Skye Ku tied for 10th place in the junior boys under 14 Canadian Juniors Golf Association’s competition at Swan-eset in Pitt Meadows with a score of 42. In the first round of play on Saturday, Ku finished four over par with a score of 42 after nine holes. On Sunday, he scored 91 on the par 72, 18-hole course. His total 133-stroke finish left him tied for 10th place. Under 14 junior boys’ winners Andy Kim of Langley and Raymond Li of Vancouver finished a total of two strokes over par. In the girls 14 and under division, Burnaby’s Jacklyn Duchen finished in third place – 23 strokes back from the leader. Duchen scored 12 over par in the first round on Saturday with a score of 48 and followed that up with a 16 over par finish in the second round on Sunday. Her total score of 136 set her 28 over par in both rounds, 23 back from division winner, Cecile Kwon of Maple Ridge. Kwon finished the tournament at five over par. Leo Harper, also from Burnaby, withdrew from the junior boys 14 and under division competition after the first round.

Burnaby to take on Capilano in semis Got a Cayley Dobie staff reporter

After a week off, the Burnaby Lake men’s rugby team is getting set for the Premier League semifinal where the local squad will take on Capilano RFC at home on Saturday. Division leaders, Burnaby Lake, recently defeated Capilano 25-19 in the team’s final game of the spring season.

Burnaby has had a stellar season so far this year, winning their last 10 games in a row to put them at the top of the premier league division with 13 wins and only one loss. Last year, the local team also led the league with 10 wins. For the second year in a row, Burnaby finished neck and neck with James Bay AA. Last season, the two teams tied for first place in regular season play but this year Burnaby managed

to pull ahead of their Vancouver Island rivals, finishing the season with 13 wins while James Bay finished with 10 wins. Last season, Burnaby beat the Castaway Wanderers RFC 26-10 in the 2013 semifinals to advance to the finals against James Bay. After losing 18-10 to James Bay last season in the Rounsefell Cup final in Victoria, Burnaby will be looking to avenge last year’s playoff loss when playoffs kick off on Saturday.

Burnaby will take on fourth place Capilano in the semifinals on April 26. Game starts at 2:45 p.m. at the Burnaby Lake Sports Complex. The winner of Saturday’s game will face off against the winner of the James Bay and Castaway Wanderers match up, also being played on Saturday, in the Rounsefell Cup final on May 10.

the Phantom this season who will be aging out of the Midget AAA league. She has had a successful career with the Phantom. Last season she was sixth overall in scoring with nine goals, and she also made it into the top five for both assists and total points overall. While this season she scored only six goals, she was second overall in assists and fourth overall in total points. For Toor, the most memorable moments with the Phantom were the bus rides to away games. The team spent hours upon hours together on a bus, which brought them all very close, Toor said. The Grade 12 student graduates from STM in June and she has already committed to playing college hockey for Castleton State College of Vermont, where she plans on studying social sciences.

Stoney Creek outshot the Phantom 31 to 18 and marked goals in each of the three periods – two of which were scored during the Sabres’ power play. By losing the Stoney Creek game, the Phantom were eliminated from the playoff round of the national competition. Toor said the biggest thing she wanted to focus on going into the Esso Cup was playing as a team and putting the team before her own glory. “I try not to be selfish and hold on to the puck. I tend to pass more than I shoot but I was the leading goal-scorer for the defence this year and last year so I choose when I (shoot),” she said laughing. Toor is among nine senior players on
