PUBLIC SAFETY

Firefighters to inject naloxone in future?

Fentanyl epidemic has pushed 46 fire departments in B.C. to carry the drug to try to save overdose victims Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

While public health officials continue to grapple with an epidemic of illicit drug overdoses around the province, in large part related to fentanyl, Burnaby’s fire department is taking a wait-and-see approach

to carrying the life-saving treatment naloxone.

Deputy fire chief Dave Samson said the fire department is not currently administering naloxone, but the possibility of doing so in the future is being discussed at the management level and at the city’s public safety committee.

$ Includes up to 6 liters of 0W20, 5W20 or 5W30 oil. Additional cost for specialty oils and filters.

Not valid for diesel engines. Environmental disposal fee ($2.50 for oil and filter) and tax are not included.

Meanwhile, all ambulance crews and 46 fire departments around the province are now carrying naloxone, including the Vancouver and Surrey fire departments.

Samson explained the department is gathering data on the issue, noting in July a separate code for overdoses

was created to better track the data before making a decision.

“It’s certainly a concern to us for the public,” Samson told the NOW. “We’re concerned for our own members, it’s something we’re looking at, there’s just no firm decision on it yet, (we’re) just gathering data.”

Last week, the province’s chief coroner provided an update on the number of overdoses in B.C., which showed the total deaths from illicit drug use at 488, an increase of 61.6 per cent from the same time period in 2015.

The latest numbers also show that fentanyl remains

a major contributor to the high number of deaths. According to the BC Coroners Service, between Jan. 1 and July 31, there were a total of 264 deaths in which fentanyl was detected, which is about 60 per cent of all illicit drug deaths.

‘This is straight wrong’ Homeowner billed for secondary suite even though no one has ever lived in it

By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

Richard Main and his wife have been living in the same Burnaby house he built with his own hands for more than 30 years.He even has the original construction plans for the property on Atlee Avenue.

And while there is space on the bottom floor for a secondary suite, it’s only ever been used by his kids when they were going to university.

So it was a bit of a surprise when in July, Main received a letter from the City of Burnaby informing him that he had a secondary suite and the property was subject the city’s new supplemental utility charge and garbage disposal fee.

And under the program, all property owners with a secondary suite are subject to the fees to cover the additional cost of providing increased water, sewer, garbage, and recycling services for suites.

The fees are 50 per cent of the home’s charge for water and sewer services and the medium garbage toter rate.

“I didn’t do anything.

I’ve never rented any part of this joint and I don’t intend to,” Main told the NOW.

In his case, Main believes the city got word of a secondary suite in his home from the B.C. Assessment Authority.

A spokesperson for B.C. Assessment confirmed the organization and municipalities are allowed to share information under the Assessment Act. The letter from the city states that if the owners believe they received the notice by error, they can request an inspection of the property.

Main, who said he didn’t have a problem with people paying more if they’re actually using the secondary suite, followed the directions and was sent a notice

earlier this month informing him that the city would be contacting him in a few months to arrange an inspection of his home.

While he’s confident that his home will be taken off the list, he doesn’t believe he should have to go through the process in the first place. Main related the city’s approach to the fees as “negative billing,” in which companies charge for a service unless it’s declined.

“This is a case of grab them and get some money,” Main said. “I don’t get it.You just tick people off right off the bat.”

Since the city began sending notices out this

summer, several residents have reached out to the NOW complaining about the changes.

When asked for an update on the program, Burnaby’s director of planning and building Lou Pelletier said the city is in the process of sending notices to houses that may expect a bill for having a secondary suite.

He reiterated residents have an opportunity to request an inspection and, if they don’t have a suite, they won’t get a bill.

“That’s the process we’re in to make sure people are aware they’ll have a bill coming,” he said.

But Main is so incensed by the situation he intends to take up the issue at an October city council meeting.

“This is straight wrong,” he said.

In the summer, Mayor Derek Corrigan defended the fees, arguing the program was put in place for people with suites to pay their fair share for additional infrastructure.

He also suggested the program went through extensive consultation back in the day and the majority of residents with secondary suites are accepting of the fees.

The City of Burnaby has fined Adera, the developer behind an Eastlake Drive construction site that was leaching silty runoff into nearby Silver Creek.

“Currently, they have to bring the site under control,” said Dipak Dattani, Burnaby’s assistant director of engineering.

The city has been investigating the site, following complaints from local streamkeeper John Preissl, who went to media with photos of the silty runoff overflowing from the site.

Last week, Burnaby issued a stop-work order after another bout of heavy rain washed silty runoff into a nearby storm drain, which leads to Silver Creek.The local stream is considered sensitive fish habitat, and silt can smother eggs and cause breathing problems for fish.

Dattani said the city issued seven tickets for two cases of allowing leakage or contamination into a stream. Adera Developments was issued four tickets; the design engineering firm was issued one ticket and the environmental monitoring firm was issued two tickets. Each ticket carries a $500 fine. As a result, the developer has to install and maintain sediment control ponds.

While Preissl also raised

concerns about city work upstream, Dattani said that work was completed a couple of weeks ago and that it’s not contributing to the sediment. Meanwhile, the city is keeping an eye on the site.

“We’re still pursuing the ongoing investigation,” Dattani said. “Having these tickets issued and putting a stop-work (order) does not say that we’re done.We’re still continuing to work with the developer-contractor and the design engineer to make sure the site is going to be under control.”

Adera’s “Eastlake Campus” features six buildings on the south slope of Burnaby Mountain, just below the Forest Grove area. Construction started years ago, and four of the buildings are already done.

The remaining two should be built by 2017.

Adera president Norm Couttie said the company is doing all it can to resolve the problem.

“It’s very rare we have problems like this, but the weather has been very extraordinary lately,” Couttie said, adding they are working in the fish window, the period when nearby work impacts fish the least. “It was a perfect storm for us.”

Couttie said the company is deepening a pond to catch more water and adding more pumps.

Inside council chambers at Burnaby City Hall Thursday, people were stopping by to take swabs of their DNA. The quick procedure was not only a donor stem cell drive for the general public, but it was an effort that hits close to home for one Burnaby Mountie.

RCMP Const. Aaron Jahed’s 10-year-old nephew Aaryan was diagnosed with a rare blood condition last year, in which the boy’s body is not producing blood cells, leaving him vulnerable to infection and uncontrolled bleeding.

There is no cure, but a stem cell transplant could save Aaryan’s life. Unfortunately, there are no stem cell matches within his family.

His rare genetic heritage – he has an Afghan father and Vietnamese mother – also makes finding a donor difficult.

Until Aaryan finds a matching donor, he’ll have to undergo frequent blood transfusions.

While Jahed noted the drive is in Aaryan’s honor and isn’t specifically for his nephew, the family still hoped a match could be found at the city hall event.

“Anyone we can save, we would reach our goal,” he said.

Besides the stem cell drive, anyone who wants to be tested is encouraged to visit www.match4aary.com and register.

The deputy chief also pointed out the overdoses are happening to people from all walks of life and ages. But the overdoses in younger people are particularly hard on firefighters.

In April, B.C.’s provincial health officer declared the overdose situation a public health emergency.

Closer to home, there have been 13 illicit drug overdose deaths recorded in Burnaby so far this year. It’s not clear how many of those deaths involved fentanyl.

Samson said the department is seeing a steady increase in the amount of overdose calls, noting there have been 20 overdoses since the end of July. He also noted those numbers have not been broken down

Opinion now OUR VIEW

If we weren’t so nice, we’d be gloating It’s been a week of spectacle on both sides of the 49th parallel – and that spectacle has gone a long way to driving home the differences in the two countries that share our long and undefended border.

Up here on this side, the spectacle has revolved around a visit from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (and, of course, their progeny, Prince George and Princess Charlotte).

Throw in our own first cou-

ple (he of the hair and the killer smile, and his effortlessly chic and effervescent wife) and you’ve got a week of photo ops that just oozed charm and glamour all over the place.

What was most noticeable, however, wasn’t so much the glamour – although any room occupied

by Kate Middleton and the Trudeaus certainly doesn’t come up short on that front – but the gosh-darn niceness of the whole thing. Roy-

als they may be (or, in the Trudeaus’ case, the closest thing we can breed here on Canadian soil), but they’re astonishingly good at making everyone they meet feel that they’re just regular folks.

They shake hands, they admire babies, they exchange brief snippets of conversation that leave the folks they meet feeling all warm and fuzzy about the encounter.

Their ability to identify as

“one of us,” with their basic humanity shining through their designer clothes and their innate elegance and poise, is testament to the charm of all four.

Contrast that with the whole mess south of the border.You know, the race for president and the highly anticipated and muchwatched Trump vs. Clinton debate.

Up here on this side of the 49th, we take in Trump, with all his unpleasantness,

rudeness, vulgarity and bluster – not to mention his complete lack of command of the facts – shake our heads and thank our lucky stars that we’ve got the leader we do.

And we can’t help thinking (in a somewhat selfrighteous way) that this is what you get in a land like America – a land that thrives on capitalism and competition and me-first thinking.

Instead of a land like

Canada, where politeness and courtesy and cooperation are legendary and where “socialism” is not a dirty word.

Nice guys finish last, you say? Maybe so.

But we’ve got the Trudeaus and the royals, and down south they’ve got Donald Trump.

Kinda feels like we’re winning right now.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Will Trudeau’s popularity last?

I was a bit taken aback when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau drew the loudest roar from the crowd of any guest when he was introduced at the B.C. legislature on the weekend along with the visiting royal couple, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

Premier Christy Clark’s reception was more muted and a smattering of boos could be heard amid the polite applause.

A reason for the different kinds of response may lie in the fact that Clark has been running a government for more than five years now and therefore has made decisions that have rubbed many people the wrong way.

Trudeau, on the other hand, is approaching just the first anniversary of his election victory and has yet to make the kind of decision that is sure to anger a big chunk of the electorate.

But the prime minister is about to open his own Pandora’s Box and, in doing so, will inevitably find himself the target of all kinds of angry responses.

First and foremost are the decisions his government must make that involve oil and natural gas.Will he or won’t he approve at least one oil pipeline coming out of Alberta to tidewater, and the same question must be posed when it comes the LNG industry in B.C. I think his government will green light both an oil pipeline (most likely Kinder Morgan) and the Pacific Northwest LNG project.

But in both cases, such a de-

cision will surely enrage and upset a large segment of the electorate.

But Trudeau must be willing to risk losing some of his hefty political capital in order to make tough calls.

That’s what governing is all about. Flowing directly from those energy issues are the high expectations he has created for First Nations in this country. A large number of First Nations oppose pipelines (although many support them), and Trudeau has also backtracked on his promise to implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People, pushing it off to a fuzzy consultation process.

On top of that, his government quietly approved key permits allowing the Site C dam construction to go ahead, even while two First Nations bands are in court trying to stop it.

There are two other potential headaches that Trudeau has needlessly created for himself: reforming the Senate, and arbitrarily changing the federal electoral system.Trudeau doesn’t have to proceed with either reform – the public is hardly crying out for any changes to Senate or how we elect our MPs – and he may well abandon both. If he doesn’t, they will likely – in combination with those energy-related decisions – ensure that if another royal visit occurs a couple of years from now, the loud ovation he received on the weekend will be a very distant memory.

No subsidies? Good luck with that idea

MP says premier will approve pipeline, and readers weigh in

Dear Editor Re: Pipeline opposition is not at 100 per cent, Inbox, Burnaby NOW, Sept. 23.

I hope the erudite Ziggy “what works does not require subsidies” Eckardt will remember to call his volunteer, unsubsidized neighbourhood firefighters to put out the fire in his kitchen or bedroom, should that ever occur.

And should his dream of “no subsidies” ever come true, I hope that his volunteer rescue team will have been privileged enough to afford unsubsidized “private” education, so they will know how to read and understand the firefighting equipment instructions. The list goes on.

Another tax is not the answer to solving hunger problems Dear Editor Re: It’s time for a ‘food bank tax’ in Canada, Our View, Burnaby NOW, Sept. 21.

I have supported the food bank for most of my working life. I am now in a position that I can and do generously support it. The tone of your opinion piece reads it’s “us against them.”

If your idea of a hunger tax comes to fruition, it’s unlikely I would continue to voluntarily support the food bank.

If you feel you are not paying enough tax, you can pay more. Personally I feel I pay more than enough considering the squandering at all levels of government. The idea of handing over more money because you don’t agree with their allocation of funding is not reasonable.

Burnaby!

Burnaby Capitalist Look, in my opinion this is a not-in-my-backyard type of syndrome. All things considered, the pipeline is clearly a good thing for so many people (and future generations) in Burnaby, GVRD, BC and Alberta. The climate warming is highly debatable.

If you think otherwise, please find a moment to check Lord Monckton’s presentations.

BurnabyResident You are partially correct, it is ‘a not-in-my-backyard type of syndrome’, if my backyard includes the entire south coast of BC. The oil companies are so desperate to get their ‘product’ to ‘tide water’ at the absolute minimum cost that they choose routes that end up with giant tankers full of volatile fuels weaving through jagged channels before reaching the open ocean. We see this with the Northern Gateway (with the airbrushed out island chains) and with the Trans-Mountain projects.

JohnCHunter mind sharing with us the source supporting your claim of “NO support in the lower mainland”, which is clearly a false statement. I have seen 3 or 4 scientific polls of BC which show a lot of support for this pipeline but have seen no such polls for the munis that claim their citizens are against it. I have asked several for the source backing up their claims, asking if it is “self selection” data. These munis will not answer.

Sad story: Stills from the film RiverBlue, starring Burnaby’s Mark Angelo. The world renowned river conservationist is highlighting the harmful effects the fashion industry is having on our streams and rivers.

PHOTOS COURTESY RIVERBLUE

A river story Continued from page 5 “A lot of people didn’t make the connection between clothes and the environment,” Angelo told the NOW. “The worst river pollution examples I’ve seen in recent year have related to fashion.”

The film, RiverBlue, features actor Jason Priestley as the narrator, and it premieres Oct. 1.

“As a longtime educator on the environmental side I’ve always believed everything is connected. …

When you start to see toxins from an Asian textile mill showing up in the tissue of a North American polar bear, you start to realize that these are issues we should all care about.”

According to Angelo, the leather and denim industries are the worst polluters for streams and rivers, and the most toxic place on Earth is in Bangladesh, where the rivers run dead, and leather workers are exposed to huge amounts of chromium.Toxins, like lead, mercury and copper, are released directly into the waterways, Angelo added.

“This film, I think, will be for a lot of people a real eyeopener,” Angelo said. “The goal of the film is to change an industry – to make it more sustainable and more ethical.”

The film calls out companies like The Gap, H&M and Nike, while calling on change from the fashion industry.

RiverBlue premieres on Saturday, Oct. 1, at the Vancouver International Film Festival.The screening is at 6:30 p.m. at SFU’s Goldcorp Centre for the Arts.

The film has been nominated for the VIFF impact award. For more information on the film, visit riverbluethemovie.com.

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

Burnaby South MP Kennedy Stewart says he thinks the Kinder Morgan pipeline will be approved and Premier Christy Clark will support it once the provincial election has passed.

“I think there is a deal between (Prime Minister Jus-

tin) Trudeau and Christy Clark. I know they are having all kinds of meetings all the time,” Stewart said.

“Premier Clark was here in Ottawa a lot in the last session. I know there are weekly meetings happening about this.”

Kinder Morgan needs federal approval to proceed with the pipeline, and the

If Trudeau approves it in December, that means the only thing stopping it from proceeding is Christy Clark province has to grant permits as well.

“So if Trudeau approves

it in December, that means the only thing stopping it from proceeding is Chris-

ty Clark saying it can go ahead – her cabinet saying, ‘Yes, we approve this project.’ I don’t think she’ll want to do that before an election,” said Stewart. “I’ve actually heard this from people who are negotiating, First Nations who are negotiating, is that Christy Clark has agreed that the pipeline will go ahead, as long as

the Liberals delay the process until after the provincial election.”

Stewart said he talks with First Nations groups, ENGOs and industry insiders and has heard this idea from a couple of these sources, and that they would be party to these pipeline negotiations.

City now Has progress been made on conditions?

Continued from page 9 “There are all kinds of negotiations going on, lawyers talking to one another, and what I know through watching this process since 2011, being involved in it, often you get a signal that a change is coming, and it’s almost always right. Once you hear it from two or three different people that don’t know each other, you think, Oh, this is coming.”

Clark’s office, however, rejected any such notion and reiterated the province’s five conditions that must be met before B.C. approves

anything.

“Since Premier Clark announced the five conditions in 2012 at the Council of Federation meeting in Halifax, British Columbia’s position has remained unchanged: no heavy oil pipelines can proceed without those conditions being met,” reads an emailed statement from her office.

“In the case of the Trans Mountain proposal, the province was clear in its submission to the National Energy Board that it did not meet the five conditions and, as such, we could not

The five conditions have always been a path to yes

support the project at this time.The five conditions have always been a path to yes, if they can be met.The proponents believe they can conform with the conditions and are welcome to work towards that. As well, since introduction of the condi-

tions the federal and Alberta governments have accepted them.The government has been very clear in our position over the last four years, and nothing has changed.”

In January, the provincial government came out against the pipeline in its final argument for the National Energy Board hearing, citing a lack of information on oil response plans as a reason. Since then, B.C.’s Energy Minister Bill Bennett said the province isn’t opposed to the pipeline and there’s been progress on the conditions.

What are the province’s five conditions?

These are the five conditions imposed by the province that must be met before B.C. approves oil pipeline projects: Successful completion of the environmental review process. In the case of the Northern Gateway Pipeline, that means a recommendation by the National Energy

Board Joint Review Panel that the project proceed.

World-leading marine oil-spill response, prevention and recovery systems for B.C.’s coastline and ocean to manage and mitigate the risks and costs of heavy-oil pipelines and shipments.

World-leading practices

for land oil-spill prevention, response and recovery systems to manage and mitigate the risks and costs of heavy-oil pipelines.

Legal requirements regarding aboriginal and treaty rights are addressed, and First Nations are provided with the opportunities, information and resources

necessary to participate in and benefit from a heavy-oil project.

British Columbia receives a fair share of the fiscal and economic benefits of a proposed heavy-oil project that reflects the level, degree and nature of the risk borne by the government, the environment and taxpayers.

Burnaby filmmaker’s doc screens at VIFF Julie MacLellan LIVELY CITY

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby filmmaker’s documentary is having its world premiere at the Vancouver International Film Festival next week.

Jeff Chiba Stearns’ Mixed Match shows twice at VIFF:Tuesday, Oct. 4 at the Rio Theatre and Thursday, Oct. 6 at Cineplex International Village.

The film tells the stories of mixed race blood cancer patients who must confront their multiracial identities and genetics as they struggle with the search to find bone marrow donors.

“The difficulty of finding a bone marrow donor is a worldwide issue that affects tens of thousands of people a year,” Stearns said in a press release. “Few people know about this topic, and I wanted to clear up misconceptions and encourage more minorities and multiethnic people to help increase patients’ odds of finding a match by becoming bone marrow donors and donating to umbilical cord stem cell banks.”

Stearns, who is of Japanese, English, Scottish, Russian and German ancestry, is hoping the film will spark a dialogue on mixed identity and ethnicity in medicine.

“My work focuses on my multiracial identity, and this subject is an important topic as we see multiethnic people becoming the fastest growing demographic in North America,” he said. “Some people may

not even be aware they have mixed heritage until they, or someone they know, needs a transplant themselves.”

To help raise awareness and find donors, OtherHalf – a registered charity that targets Chinese underrepresentation in the global stem cell donor registry – will be on hand at the second screening to help register people aged 17 to 35 to join Canadian Blood Services’ national bone marrow registry.

For details or to buy tickets, see www.tinyurl.com/ MixedMatchScreening.

I wanted to clear up misconceptions

FILM FORUM FRIDAY Film fans, don’t forget about another film event even closer to home.

The Burnaby Arts Council is presenting the Burnaby Film Forum on Friday, Sept. 30 at 6 p.m., part of local Culture Days events.

The 6 p.m. film forum will include a film screening, with awards and reception to follow.

The arts council received more than 500 submissions, representing some 60 nations, in response to its call for short films of no more than four minutes in length.

Twenty of the best submissions were chosen and are being presented in a onehour screening that covers a wide cross-section of genres, from experimental to docu-

mentary.

All the fun is happening at the James Cowan Theatre at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts. Check out www. burnabyartscouncil.org for more details – or just turn up. It’s free, and it’s suitable for the family.

MORE CULTURE DAYS FUN If you’re looking for a way to get in on even more of the Culture Days fun this weekend, then be sure to stop by the Deer Lake Gallery on Saturday, Oct. 1.

The gallery is hosting two artist talks. At noon, Carolyn Kramer will present a talk about environmentalism in art. At 1 p.m., Corey Hardeman will look at “good” versus “bad” art.

Both Kramer and Hardeman have work at the gallery now in the ongoing Diffusion exhibition, along with Sean O’Flynn, and you can check that work out while you’re there. (Saturday is the final day of the exhibition, so don’t miss out.)

Following those talks, you can take part in a hands-on art workshop called Discovering Marbling. Dorothy Williams will lead the family-friendly workshop and help people discover how to make marbled paper. It’s free, and it’s suitable for kids of all ages.

You should register ahead, so be sure to email info@burnabyartscouncil. org – the workshop runs 2 to 3 p.m. and again from 3 to 4 p.m.

Send arts and entertainment suggestions to Julie, jmaclellan@burnabynow.com.

Local playwright’s work opens Vagabond season A Burnaby playwright’s new work takes to the stage next month as the season opening production for the Vagabond Players.

Body and Soul, by Elizabeth Elwood, runs from Oct. 6 to 29 at the Bernie Legge Theatre in Queen’s Park, New Westminster.

The play, described as “a romantic comedy full of whimsical fun and a lively ghost,” tells a uniquely New Westminster-based story, with the storyline taking place in a heritage home in Queen’s Park. It follows the tale of Timothy Grey, who quits his job to write a book about one of the Royal City’s forefathers.

His friend, Conrad, finds an unorthodox way to ensure that the historic details are correct:With the help of a psychic seamstress, he restores the resident ghost and “sets off a chain of events that turns history upside down,” as a press release says.

Elwood also directs the production, which is her fourth play to premiere at the Bernie Legge Theatre.

A former Burnaby English and drama teacher, chorus singer with the Vancouver Opera and performer with community theatre, Elwood turned to writing when her children were young.

She and her husband,

Hugh, formed the family entertainment company Elwoodettes Marionettes, and she later began writing for the stage. Her first play, Casting For Murder, premiered with the Vagabond Players in 2000 and has since had seven productions across Canada.

Elwood followed that up with the comedy Renovations, the mystery play Shadow of Murder and four books of mystery stories.

This premiere production of Body and Soul features cast members Alex Ross as the struggling writer, Heather Evens as his disapproving fiancée and Tracy Labrosse Continued on page 12

Time for romance?

Harmony Court honours seniors A local seniors’ home awarded four outstanding citizens for their contributions to their communities. Harmony Court Estate held its annual Seniors of Distinction event on Friday, Sept. 23, and this year’s honoured seniors are Susan Nugent, Raj Vyas, June Exworthy and Marilyn Pitt.

“There are more than 25,000 seniors living in Burnaby. Many of these seniors go about their daily lives quietly achieving positive change, both within the community and in the lives of those around them,” said Paula Anderson, general manager of Harmony Court. “National Seniors Day is Oct. 1, and the Seniors of Distinction Awards is our chance to show our appreciation to these individuals and celebrate their amazing accomplishments.”

This year, three local politicians spoke at the awards ceremony: Richard Lee, Liberal MLA for Burnaby North; Kathy Corrigan, outgoing New Democrat MLA for Burnaby

Deer Lake; and Raj Chouhan; NDP MLA for Burnaby Edmonds. Coun. Sav Dhaliwal also attended.

The annual awards are given out in four categories: community service, arts, healthy living and leadership.

Seniors from both Burnaby and New Westminster are eligible for the awards.

The City of Burnaby has proclaimed Oct. 1 as International Day of Older Persons, thanks to a prompting from a local seniors’ planning table.

The proclamation recognizes the contributions older people make, said Tazul Ali, a longtime Burnaby resident and chair of Voice of Burnaby Seniors, the group that asked for the proclamation.

“We wanted to gain awareness of the importance of older people and their contributions to their city,” Ali told the NOW. “We need to recognize and respect older people because there comes a time in their life when they feel they are being isolated because of their immobility or whatever it is that they’re not able to be as active in life as they used to be. … I am a senior myself, but we have so many older seniors that feel they

Feeling the need for a little extra parenting help?

You’re not alone. Anyone who’s raising kids knows how hard it can be and how much you just need a little extra help sometimes.

Never fear, there are plenty of local resources to help out.

Here are a few ideas: BURNABY FAMILY LIFE If you haven’t discovered Burnaby Family Life yet, be sure to look up their program offerings for 2016/17.

The organization offers a number of parenting programs, including Nobody’s Perfect, an educational and support program for parents with children under age 6.

There’s also an ongoing Single Mothers’ Support Group, with child care available, on Wednesdays from

6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

And, for lots of family fun, there are regular ongoing family drop-ins at Burnaby Neighbourhood House and Brentwood Learning Centre, and Learning Together Through Play dropins at Burnaby Neighbourhood House, Edmonds Resource Centre and the Burnaby Family Life Metrotown location on McKercher Avenue.

Check out www.burnaby familylife.org for the fallwinter brochure to get all the up-to-date time and location information.

The centre, at 2055 Rosser Ave., offers a Baby and Me drop-in for parents and caregivers of children up to age 12 months. It’s on Thursdays starting at noon, and it covers various health and development topics related to babies, with presentations from public health

nurses and other professionals.

Sessions will cover topics such as breastfeeding, nutrition, postpartum fitness, child development and more. Bring a blanket for your little one to lie on, and hang out to learn more and socialize with other parents.

Are you facing the challenges of the ‘middle years’?

The information sessions are an hour long, but open drop-in playtime then runs until 4 p.m.

Drop-in play sessions are for parents and caregivers with children up to age six, and they run afternoons from 1 to 4 p.m. (starting at 12:30 p.m. on Mondays).

Technology in the classroom can be a polarizing topic. Some parents want to see as much as possible, preparing students for the future, while others would like to see it limited, for fear it dominates studies. Most parents fall somewhere in between and are constantly seeking to strike a balance.

At one private school, technology is flourishing.

With that comes the responsibility to educate students how best to use it. “Increasingly, there is a need in schools as well as at home, to teach the responsible use of technology,” comments Mrs. Cheryle Beaumont, Urban Academy’s Head of School who welcomes technology in the classroom, but also ensures students know how to be responsible with it. This lesson is of paramount importance as Common Sense Media, an organization dedicated to helping children thrive in a tech world, finds that kids are spending over 50 hours per week in front of a screen. Not surprisingly, the content they consume has a profound impact on their social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development.

Digital citizenship, how we behave when we are online, needs to be discussed with children as soon as they start playing with technology. “Our Grade 7 and 8’s are investigating topics such as the use of media in our daily lives, online scams, phishing, as well as understanding the implications of copyright versus creative commons license for fair use of work,” Mrs. Beaumont explained. “As they move to post-secondary education, and eventually their chosen career path, our aim is that they will be able to respect, educate and protect themselves and others online.”

Tools such as iPads make a big impact on the way junior students learn, investigate and complete various activities in the classroom. They engage student learning, encourage them to share their knowledge with others, and create a platform that

makes learning visible, providing today’s classroom a global reach.

“The iPad can foster collaboration, engagement and mobility in the classroom and create authentic learning spaces for students” comments Ms. Elyse Cochrane, Urban Academy Grade 2 teacher who is completing her masters in technology in the classroom. “iPads are changing how teachers and students share knowledge, empowering students to create and share rich content with their peers. Young students can navigate kid friendly search engines, create books, music or maps, learn to read and do math in an exciting and interactive environment.”

How to help high schoolers choose the right college

Choosing a college or university is the first big decision of many teenagers’ lives. A youngster’s choice of college can impact the rest of his or her life, and it’s important that kids recognize the gravity of this decision.

Many kids, in particular those who realize the impact that their choice of college can have on the rest of their lives, are overwhelmed when colleges begin sending information about their programs and campus life. Such information, especially when it is unsolicited, may begin to arrive at the beginning of high school, long before many teenagers have begun to think about where to pursue their educations after high school. But as daunting a task as choosing a college may seem, teenagers should enjoy the process, as the choice of where to go to college is unlike any other decision many students will make for the rest of their lives.

explain their financial situations to their kids at the outset of the selection process. Explain how much you can contribute toward tuition and fees, and explain the differences between loans and grants. Some kids may expect their parents to foot the entire bill for their education, but such situations are increasingly rare thanks to the rising cost of a college education. Make sure kids know the financial obligations they will be taking on should they take out loans to pay for their education.

Parents also can ensure the process goes more smoothly by helping their kids find the right school. That’s especially true for parents who have already been through the process with an older child. But even parents going through the process for the first time can take the following steps to help youngsters find the right college.

• Ask kids to list fields of study they may want to pursue. While incoming college students do not necessarily need to choose a major upon enrolling, kids who know their interests and what they may want to one day do for a living may be more likely to find the right college or university for them. Parents can ask kids to write down a list of their interests, including potential career interests. This can help kids narrow down the list of colleges and universities they are considering. For example, if a student is interested in engineering but a university on their list does not offer an engineering program, then that school can be eliminated. Kids who list multiple potential fields of study may benefit by choosing a larger school with more available programs. This can allow them to pursue more than one major or even switch majors without transferring to another school.

• Discuss finances with kids at the outset of the selection process.

While the choice of where a student goes to college should ultimately rest with that student, it’s important that parents

• Visit campuses. Student-athletes who hope to continue their athletic careers at the collegiate level may be limited to a certain number of official campus visits, but nonathletes face no such

restrictions. While college is first and foremost about getting an education, it’s also an opportunity to grow as a person.

Campus visits can give kids a feel for campus life, which varies considerably between colleges, and that feel can help them determine if a given college or university is somewhere they’re liable to feel comfortable over the next several years. Parents can accompany kids on campus visits and ask questions their kids may not know to ask but will certainly be glad to know the answers to. Traveling to various campuses can be expensive, so parents might want to delay campus visits until kids have narrowed down their lists of potential colleges.

• Stay involved. Some kids may succumb to the pressure of choosing a college and detach themselves from the process as a result. While taking periodic breaks from talking about college can benefit both kids and their folks, parents should not allow such breaks to go on for too long. Stay involved in the process so kids continue to approach it with the right attitude.

If kids appear to be struggling with their decision, act as a sounding board for them so they can let off some steam and clear their heads.

Communitynow Launching a new future Canoe project a symbol of a new awareness of aboriginal perspective Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Gilpin Elementary School students in colourful raincoats cheered by the side of a rainy Deer Lake Friday as their principal, Blake Briscoe paddled a small wooden canoe ashore.

The short journey marked the culmination of a project that began in the 2014/15 school year, when the school first decided to host a First Nations artist in residence. For three months last school year, Aaron Nelson-Moody, whose Squamish name means Splashing Eagle – Splash for short – came to the school three days a week and interacted with students while carving a traditional skumay, a stubby vessel traditionally used

by Squamish women and girls to ply the swamps and narrow streams of their territory.

Actually getting the boat into the water was an important final step, accord-

ing to district aboriginal resource teacher Tracy Healey.

“It’s just bringing it to life,” she said. “That was the intent, not to make it a museum piece, but something that we could use.”

For district elder Roberta Price, marking the event with a ceremony that included witnesses, drumming, a blessing and sprinkling cedar into Deer Lake was important too.

“Today in the larger society, we just do ceremony once in a while, like on a birthday or anniversary, but ceremony guided every single step of every single day of our lives,” she said, “and that’s what we need to bring back is that ceremony for the healing.The healing of our people in this country is not just for the First Nations. It’s for every one of us in this country to join hands and go forward in that healing because the healing needs to happen for all.”

With the new B.C. kindergarten to Grade 9 cur-

riculum now mandating aboriginal perspectives be embedded in all areas of kids’ education, the Gilpin project is the way of the future, according to district vice-principal of aboriginal education Brandon Curr “It is an exciting time and this project really signifies, I think, that shift into the waters that we’re all sort of wading into right now,” he said.

As Briscoe and Gilpin Grade 4/5 teacher Raffi Mahseredjian (a teacher deeply involved in the project) tried to take the canoe out Friday before the ceremony, however, it wasn’t all smooth sailing.

“We capsized a couple of times,” Briscoe said. “I think we were trying to put two people in a one-person canoe. As a one-person canoe it was super smooth.”

He said Mahseredjian graciously bowed out and allowed him the honour of piloting the vessel.

Briscoe said the project helped connect students with the local First Nations through their interactions with Splash.

In an ideal world, you could see your trusted family doctor whenever you need to, but in the real world, emergencies arise and you have to go to the hospital, or an urgent problem prompts you to walk in and wait at a handy clinic.

How can you ensure the unfamiliar doctor in front of you is making the right diagnosis? How can you be sure that you’re getting the best treatment?

To start, it’s helpful to understand the basic structure of a typical medical visit.

It begins when you present your problem(s).This usually takes the form of symptoms (such as pain, fatigue or shortness of breath) and the health-care provider will ask you questions to get more details.

Where do you feel the pain? When did it start?

What makes it better? What makes it worse? While doctors are asking these questions, we are formulating in our minds the potential diagnosis (or best explanation of your symptoms).The initial list of suspects is long, but it is pruned by your responses to our questions and what the doctor finds during the physical examination.

I teach my medical students and new doctors I have mentored that we should start with a broad differential diagnosis (list of possible diagnoses) and, like a funnel, gradually and logically narrow it down to the most likely diagnosis. I encourage my colleagues

Streak hits 7-0 for SFU Call it lucky number seven.

The SFU Clan men’s soccer team improved to 7-0 behind a 2-1 win over the Saint Martin’s Saints on Saturday.

Goals from Mamadi Camara and Kyle Jones proved to be the difference in the road game, as SFU collected its second Great Northwest Athletic Conference victory to maintain a redhot start to the 2016 season.

“That was as good a footballing performance as I can remember from this team,” said SFU coach Clint Schneider. “We didn’t finish as well as we would have liked, but overall, that was a terrific showing from the guys.”

The Burnaby Mountain squad’s dominance was evident in the score box – SFU launched 19 shots towards SMU goalie Griffin Small, while the Saints managed just seven at Clan keeper Brandon Watson.

The Clan struck early, starting just six minutes into the contest. Freshman striker Riley Pang made a terrific hold-up play to draw a defender before feeding Adam Jones on the right flank.The midfielder quickly put it into the middle of the SMU box, where Camara beat Small for his fifth goal of the season.

Small made a handful of big stops before Kyle Jones netted the SFU insurance goal in the 75th minute. After Michael North was jostled down inside the SMU area, the younger Jones brother stepped to the spot and buried it for his first goal of the season.

“Last year, not capitalizing on so many chances, this is the kind of (game) that we might have lost.We might not get ten chances every night, but the elite teams manage to makes the ones they do get count.,” remarked Schneider.

“But this is different, this group is different. I’ve said all along that they have a chance to be something special, and if we can continue to clean up our mistakes as we go, this year could be a lot of fun.”

The Clan’s next test is Thursday when they host Oregon’s Concordia University Cavaliers (3-1-1), 7 p.m. at SFU’s Terry Fox field.

Knights out-paced by big-play Ravens St.Thomas More sets sights for first regular season win this weekend in Surrey

Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

If you want the real tests, you’ve got to face the best.

The St.Thomas More Knights’ 2016 regular season began Friday with a beauty, as the Burnaby senior football team lined up against the No. 2-ranked Terry Fox Ravens, one week after wrapping up the exhibition slate against No. 1 rated Vancouver College.

Although a 37-20 loss to Fox wasn’t the result hoped for, the Knights saw and

measured their performance against a top calibre rival – of the likes they’ll have to surpass if they are to get to BC Place come November. “(We) played hard and didn’t quit,” said More coach Bernie Kully on the positive take-away. “When you’re learning sometimes you have to take your lumps and sometimes you give them.This was one of those experiences where we gathered a lot of info on what we need to do.”

After a rough first half, where Fox built up a 16-6

advantage, the Burnaby squad replied with a quick strike to pull within two points. But the Ravens charged back with a pair of majors, including an 88-yard kick return to lead 30-14 midway through the third quarter.

There were no white flags, however.With 5:20 left in the third quarter, More’s Tyler Eckert broke free and ran 40 yards to Fox’s seven-yard line, setting up the team’s next TD – a short pass from QB Kolby Buljevic to Connor

Hayek that made it 30-20.

And while the Knights’ defence held on the next two series, the offence was equally stymied by the Ravens line. After STM failed on a fourth-and-four at its own 40-yard line, Fox’s Jeremie Kankolongo dashed 40 yards into the end zone for his second major of the night and a dagger in More’s comeback hopes.

The Ravens rusher finished with 136 yards.

“To start the third quarter we had a great drive (to get within two) and then

gave up a kick-off return for a very long touchdown,” recalled Kully. “Momentum can be a funny thing.When you get it, you have to do what you can as a team to keep it and we made a few errors as a team where we lost it.”

Buljevic had a strong game, connecting on 21 of 32 pass attempts for 298 yards and three majors, with one interception. Anthony Prpic hauled down seven passes for 96 yards and one TD, while Hayek had Continued on page 24

Nationals a bold new stage for u16 boys

Mountain FC squad built foundation for nationals with strong provincial tournament Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

In their last major tournament, they had a mountain to climb.This time, they are the mountain.

The players with Mountain United FC boys under-16 soccer team will be packing big goals for next week’s Sportchek national soccer championships in Lethbridge, AB. The squad enters the 10-team tourney looking at building on a stellar run this past summer at the provincials, where they avenged their only losses of the season with a convincing win in the final.

“I think our kids had all the motivation they needed, and while we faced some adversity we were confident that if they played tactically

and played for possession that they could do it,” said former head coach Wayne Shaw of the B.C.s. “And they played the best game of the year, and in my two years it was the best game I’d seen them play.”

Shaw, who stepped down as coach after the June provincials to spend more time with family after a 30-year coaching career, said Mountain’s biggest advantage heading into the nationals, as it was at provincials, is its tactical strength.

Anchored by a talented core of on-pitch leaders, the team shook off the loss of four injured starters and blanked regular season champion Coastal FC 4-0 in the EA Sports B.C. Soccer Premier League final in Kelowna. Among the missing were Burnaby’s Ryan Hum and Loren-

zo De Bei. Stepping up and enjoying stellar games were New Westminster’s Ryu Ikeda, who shifted from forward to fullback and efficiently shut down Coastal’s top shooter, North Vancouver’s Alex Wallace, Miles Gailiunas and goalkeeper Sam Boppart.

“We called up four players, who contributed, but most importantly the core came up and played its best game.The big thing as a coach is I really appreciated how they stepped up, they beat the top team in the league when it counted.

In regular season meetings, Coastal prevailed 4-1 and 2-1 to claim first place in the league.Those were Mountain’s only losses, and served as a great motivator.

Shaw, who coached the Moun-

Tamura finishes 8th Burnaby’s Sarah Tamura posted her best international result on the ISU Junior Grand Prix figure skating circuit, placing eighth in Slovenia last week.

The 15-year-old skated a clean short program, before suffering her only deduction for a fall in the free event, for an overall score of 141.41 at her fourth ISU event.

“I fought through this program today, definitely was not my best but I know what to work on for my next Junior Grand Prix in two weeks,” said Tamura in a press release.

“It’s a start but I have a lot of things to work on. I am proud that I fought through it and didn’t give up.”

Continued from page 23 three catches for 82 yards and two majors. Catching eight passes for 54 yards was older brother Devon Hayek.

Doing his part in a 400yard offensive game was Eckert, who gained 98 yards on 10 carries. He also tallied five tackles and twin QB sacks.Topping the team in tackles was Mateo Moreira with nine, while Mateo Carteri counted eight.

Up next for STM is a trip to Surrey on Friday to play Lord Tweedsmuir, which won its season opener 47-0 over Kelowna. “(Tweedsmuir) run the ball well and are well coached – one of their coaches was here at STM for a long time (Tweedsmuir co-coach Laurent Deslauriers).They’re 3-0 and it’ll be a great test for us to try and get back on a positive side of things,” said Kully.

REMEMBRANCES CLUGSTON, Millie November 10, 1932 -September 7, 2016 Millie was known for being a stylish dresser and for her impeccable grooming; a lady with excellent taste, a sparkle in her eye and a beautiful smile on her face. She loved to laugh and dance. She worked hard her whole life to make the home and family she cherished.

She always had a kind word for those who were struggling.

Much loved by the many friends she made in her lifetime. She will be missed by her daughter Sandy, son Brad, daughter-in-law Heather, sister-in-law Joan, long-time best friend Audrey, as well as Gordie and his daughters, Susan and Lisa and Grant and his daughter, Robyn. Millie’s friend, Nancy and Millie’s other friends at Victoria Heights will miss her, too. Many thanks go to the staff at Victoria Heights, who supported her and cared for her for the last ten years.

She is now happily reunited with her soul mate and love of her life, Cliff, and with her friends who went before her to pave the way. We are certain she has been greeted enthusiastically by all her puppies, as well.

A Memorial Tea will be held to celebrate Millie’s life at Victoria Heights Assisted Living, 230 Ross Drive, New Westminster on Wednesday, October 5 at 2:00 pm.

As much as Millie loved flowers, she would have loved it even more if you gave a donation to the SPCA in lieu of flowers.
