Safety concerns trigger protest

By Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

More than 50 anti-pipeline activists braved the rain last week to protest the proposed Kinder Morgan tank farm expansion.

The rally was held at the corner of Gaglardi Way and Burnaby Mountain Parkway, the intersection that provides the only escape routes off Burnaby Mountain.

“We feel the issue of the tank farm safety risk has been ignored and swept under the table, and we thought it was time we bring this to the attention of a broader public,” said organizer Andrew Larigakis.

As part of the Trans Mountain expansion project, which seeks to twin the Edmonton-to-Burnaby pipeline, an additional 14 new tanks will be built, bringing the total to 26.

Protesters worry that should there be a fire, residents and SFU students will be trapped on the mountain for days and will be exposed to dangerous chemicals.When the NOW first reported on this issue in spring of 2015, thenchief safety officer Terry Waterhouse said there was no plan except to “shelter in place.”

“It’s a very ugly scene.

The fire department has identified this area as a high life risk area.This is very serious ... It’s a huge failure of our regulatory process,” said Larigakis. “Kinder Morgan’s been given a free pass on fire, and it seems to me, a free pass on seismic.There’s no real seismic study that’s been done.

A RAINY RALLY: Roslyn Hart was one of many anti-Kinder Morgan protesters who stood out in the rain last Friday at the intersection of Gaglardi Way and Burnaby Mountain Parkway. Hart, who’s lived in North Burnaby for more than 35 years, told the NOW she’s “terrified” by the worst-case scenarios surrounding the proposed Trans Mountain expansion project, including a spill in the Burrard Inlet.

I think there’s a good reason for that.These tanks would just crack and leak fuel if there’s a significant earthquake. It only takes one.”

But a new report concludes the fire risk at the tank farm is “extremely low” and falls in line with the criteria set out by the Major Industrial Accidents Council of Canada.

RELATED STORY

The city of Burnaby loses its B.C. Court of Appeal case/Pg. 3 the NEB’s conditions,Trans Mountain filed an updated risk assessment for its Burnaby terminal.

The report, prepared by Genesis Oil and Gas Con-

sultants, includes: the potential consequences of a pool fire, boil-over, flash fire and vapour cloud explosion; the cumulative risk based on the total number

of tanks in the terminal; the effect of seismic activity on the storage tanks; the effect of sulphur dioxide and carbon monoxide on people; and risk mitigation measures.

Jamie Kereliuk,Trans Mountain’s director of emergency management, said he’s confident in saying the facility is very safe.

“I think our operation re-

cord backs up this. In over 60 years, we haven’t had any storage tank fires at the terminal,” he told the NOW. Kereliuk was quick to point out the risk assessment is unmitigated, meaning Genesis assessed the property with no mitigation procedures in place.

A little string goes a long way Burnaby man’s fibre finds some new uses

By Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

A new world of opportunities has opened up for Burnaby entrepreneur Gordon Shank after winning a provincewide challenge with his innovative biodegradable yarn.

Shank specializes in advanced materials – specifically fibres. For years, he’s been selling his BioMid sustainable fibre to governments and private companies around the world.

“I’d only ever thought to use fibres as a reinforcement for resin in some very complicated military or aerospace product, and that’s a very limited market in Canada,” he said.

But last year, while lamenting there were too few clients in Canada for his special string, a friend suggested he try something different and enter the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture and the B.C. Innovation Council’s innovation challenge.

So Shank went to work adapting BioMid so it could be used in an agricultural setting. It didn’t take much, he said, as most of the work had already been done.

Once complete, the yarn provided an alternative to synthetic products often used in greenhouses. BioMid is made from B.C. forest product waste and, because it is fully compostable, it doesn’t have to be separated from organic waste.

ECO-FRIENDLY: Burnaby resident Gordon Shank displays a spool of BioMid, a biodegradable yarn made out of forest product waste. Shanks was awarded $20,000 as a finalist in the innovation challenge. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED Earlier this month, the provincial government announced that BioMid, along with three other innovations had won the challenge.

BioMid’s first agricultural application was on a 20-acre bell pepper farm in Abbotsford where about 3,000 kilometres of BioMid was used to replace the petroleum-based, synthetic yarn.

“I honestly didn’t know what to expect,” he said of the competition. “As far as I knew I could, maybe, if I crossed my fingers, be first, but maybe dead last; I might even get laughed out of the place, who knows. As it turns out, whoa. I mean I didn’t even know peppers grew up a string.”

Looking back, Shank can’t help but be proud and also surprised at how far he’s come.

Having been taken during the Sixties Scoop, when First Nations children were taken from their homes and placed in fos-

As it turned out, whoa. I mean I didn’t even know peppers grew up a string

ter care or adopted, opportunities were scarce or hard to come by with so little experience, Shank said.The best thing he could do was go into business for himself.

“Too often, on your 18th birthday you fall into homelessness and pennilessness, right? So it’s kind of tough; the only thing you can do is more or less menial jobs and really the only thing you could do to better your life is to start a business,” he said.

“It’s really the only thing you don’t need a lot of qualifications for.”

Now, almost 50 years old, Shank has travelled all over the world selling his ad-

vanced material products, like BioMid. Its new application means there’s an entirely new sector out there waiting for solutions, and Shank hopes to capitalize on that.

“For whatever reason, the little things, the little tiny details (in the agriculture sector), they kind of get overlooked, but in order for continuous improvement, you have to look at the little details as well, one by one by one,” he said, “and if you add up all these little details, they can equal a big, huge, disruptive innovation.”

Already, there’s a growing list of possible commercial applications for BioMid, even beyond the agriculture sector, Shank said.

He’s donated the yarn to more than 100 universities that have already begun projects using the sustainable fibre, including using it in the development of lighter and more fuel-efficient cars and the next generation of lithium ion batteries, he added.

City’s rules useless against ‘Act of Parliament’ Judge says Trans Mountain work crews could cut down trees on Burnaby Mountain despite city bylaws

By Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

It’s not the ending the City of Burnaby was hoping for.

On Monday, the B.C. Court of Appeal ruled in favour of the National Energy Board (NEB) after a twoand-a-half-year legal battle with the city on whether the NEB can override municipal bylaws.

The matter goes back to

2014 when Trans Mountain work crews started cutting trees in the conservation area on Burnaby Mountain for field studies, a move that violated Burnaby’s bylaw but was sanctioned by the NEB. The city responded by launching an appeal in the Federal Court of Appeal and a B.C. Supreme Court case seeking an injunction against the company.

The latter was denied, and

the former ruled in Trans Mountain’s favour.When that happened, city council quickly approved a resolution to appeal the court decision.

When the NOW spoke to city lawyer Greg McDade last December, he remained optimistic the appeal decision would come down in the city’s favour because of a Windsor, Ont. Supreme Court of Canada ruling. In that case, a federally incor-

porated transportation carrier refused to cooperate with Windsor’s bylaws and the top court sided with the city over the issue of jurisdiction and ruled that the case should be heard in provincial court.

“That’s effectively what we’re trying to do.When we argue about whether the pipeline has to follow municipal bylaws, do we get a fair hearing in B.C. superior courts or are we in front

of a tribunal who only cares about pipelines?” McDade said at the time.

In her ruling on Monday, Justice Lauri Ann Fenlon said the Windsor case was not similar to Burnaby’s.

“The company in Windsor was not seeking to exercise a right granted by a federal statute which brought it into conflict with municipal bylaws. Rather, it argued that the Federal Court had jurisdiction to hear the

dispute simply because the dispute involved a federal undertaking,” read the judgment.

“The present case is readily distinguishable from Windsor. Unlike the company in Windsor,Trans Mountain applied under s. 73 of the NEB Act, ‘an Act of Parliament,’ to enforce its right to enter onto municipal land to conduct its work in relation to the Continued on page 4

City now Ruling disappoints mayor Continued from page 3 expansion project.”

Mayor Derek Corrigan said he was disappointed to hear the news.

“I really thought that this time the court would take notice of the recent decision of the Supreme Court of Canada in regards toWind-

sor. I’ll be interested in seeing what exactly the reasons were for that.

“They (the courts) have a great deal of faith in the National Energy Board and that the NEB has the best interest of Canada in mind in its ruling, and unfortunately, that hasn’t been true.

Even the prime minister recognized that and said he was going to change the system.

This is one of those residual decisions that comes out of an acknowledged flawed process and yet that doesn’t appear to be part of the consideration of the Court of Appeal,” said Corrigan.

Kinder Morgan defends plans Continued from page 1 has gone above and beyond the regulatory requirements, including enhancing its emergency response plans.Those plans include a larger fire-water reservoir, new high capacity fire-water pump and foam systems, early fire detection systems, remote-activated fire suppression systems and a mobile firefighting system that includes a foam trailer, cannon and firefighting equipment.

“This is a commitment we’ve made to our community and to our stakeholders, to make sure that we have the very best systems in place,” Kereliuk added.

The director called a boilover event “not a credible scenario.”

Kereliuk said to avoid such a disaster, the new tanks will be designed to prevent the accumulation of

water, which is necessary to cause a boil-over.The tanks will be fitted with fixed automated full-surface firesuppression systems and back-up mobile systems, according to the report.

Genesis Oil and Gas noted a boil-over would take at least five hours to develop,

which gives crews enough time to implement a tactical response plan to suppress or extinguish a fire, well before a boil-over were to occur.

Kereliuk said Trans Mountain is always doing emergency drills and is constantly updating its plans.

U.S. field trips questioned

School district wants to reroute trips to Canada

By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby school district has rethought field trips to the United States over concerns about travel bans proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump.

“We’re not outright, policy-wide banning all trips,” assistant-superintendent Roberto Bombelli told the NOW, “but if there is a trip being planned to the U.S., the question we’re asking is, why we would go into the

U.S. where you may be automatically excluding some students from being able to participate? And we’re asking teachers to plan to reroute those for a similar experience not in the U.S.” Already a Burnaby South band trip planned for Seattle in May has been rerouted to Nanaimo and Victoria, according to Bombelli.

“A couple of our schools looked at their trips and were able to reroute for the same kind of experience,” he said.

The Toronto school board decided last week not to approve future trips to the U.S. despite the fact Trump’s most recent executive order banning foreign nationals from six majorityMuslim countries has been suspended pending the outcome of court challenges.

Trips that had already been planned will go ahead, but if any student or staff member with proper documentation is denied entry Continued on page 8

Opinion now OUR VIEW

It’s never too late to break bad habits The federal budget was delayed last Wednesday thanks to a protest of sorts in the House of Commons.

Opposition parties are outraged at a series of changes the Liberals are proposing for Parliamentary procedures. Among them, the Liberals want casual Fridays to get really casual – they don’t want to work in the house on

Fridays anymore. (Who does?)

The Tories are hardly in a position to criticize, given their time in power being marked by decidedly undemocratic tactics: omnibus bills, prorogues, stubbing out debates, a no-show prime minister in question period.They also earned the distinction of being the only government

found in contempt of their own Parliament.

They aren’t wrong, however, that the Liberals are attempting to push through procedural changes without adequate buy-in from the other parties.

Taking a wider view of the matter, it’s part of an age-old trend in politics, in which parties, once elected, adopt the self-serving,

... parties, once elected, adopt the selfserving, bad habits of their predecessors.

bad habits of their predecessors.

Other examples that transcend political stripes include pre-election ad blitzes paid for with public dollars, loading up the months prior to an election with spending announcements, and budgets that reward loyal ridings.

The sad truth is it’s almost impossible to change

these awful habits because the governing party always has the most to gain from keeping the status quo.

But we don’t have to make their hypocrisy easy for them. Don’t be afraid to call up your representative and give them an earful. Don’t be afraid to make it uncomfortable.

It’s never too late to break a bad habit.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Will Clark jump on transit issue?

My email inbox has been flooded with about 100 spending announcements from the B.C. government the past few days, as money is being shovelled out of the door as the fiscal year draws to a close later this week.

But a particular big ticket spending item has yet to arrive. For a while, it looked like it never would but I expect to see it any day now.

I’m referring, of course, to the question of whether the province will step up to the plate and finally agree to increase its share of funding to build badly needed transit lines in MetroVancouver: the Surrey light rail lines, and the Broadway subway line inVancouver.

The feds are officially putting more than $2 billion (over a decade or so) on the table, and this has put the squeeze onVictoria to sweeten its offer.

The B.C. government can hardly let this kind of cash contribution disappear, so I’m betting it will now undoubtedly revisit its longheld position that it would fund only one-third the costs of any project, with the feds and the municipal governments also contributing a third each. But Ottawa has upped its ante to 40 per cent and it can reasonably be assumed the provincial government will follow suit, thus reducing the municipal level share by a significant amount (still more than $1 billion, however).

The province can hardly squawk about this. It spends a gargantuan amount of money on infrastructure –

about $4 billion annually on roads, highways, schools and hospitals – every year anyway, so being pressured to fork another $700 million or so (over a long period of time) hardly seems unreasonable.

It’s a political no-brainer to end this game of chicken that has been going on for years.The provincial election is on the horizon, so what better time to court thousands of traffic-choked commuters?

Big transit projects such as the Broadway subway line and Surrey light rail lines are also massive job creation vehicles, a fact that fits nicely in Premier Christy Clark’s political wheelhouse.

Her re-election mantra is essentially “jobs, jobs, jobs,” and I can’t believe she’s going to give up a chance for a campaign stop at a potential Surrey construction site, with her trusty hard hat affixed firmly on her head as she beams for the television news cameras.

As well, the NDP has already promised that if it is elected on May 9 it will increase its transit funding share to 40 per cent, so a move by Clark to do the same right now may neutralize the NDP’s position, which if left unmatched will be a popular one.

Now that the Trudeau government has made the first move in a very clear way, the path is clear for the B.C. government to make the next one. My email inbox is awaiting the news.

A finger-lickin’ takedown A thief got more than he bargained for when he tried to snatch a 53-year-old woman’s purse in Metrotown in March.The woman, wearing one injured arm in a sling, had been walking down Kingsway near Royal Oak when a man grabbed her purse and ran away. Screaming, the woman gave chase. She was soon joined by others on the street and from the nearby Kentucky Fried Chicken. A crowd of about 20 then pursued the man until he was eventually caught and held until police arrived.

Police enforcement beats photo radar for safety Dear Editor: I have to respectfully disagree with Paul McGowan regarding the benefits of photo radar because if it is in a fixed location, it becomes nothing but a cash cow for government coffers, and it has the consequence of penalizing the registered owner of the vehicle and not necessarily the actual driver.

What would be preferable is for our numerous RCMP officers to regularly target the areas he mentions. I would also suggest stoplight cameras be installed at intersections where there is a high incidence of collisions.

The intersection of Willingdon and Maywood would be a great place to start because there has been numerous accidents at that intersection.

As well, some drivers seem to think an amber light means they should speed up, and they end up actually running red lights. I can sit at the bus stop at that intersection and at times it’s like a speedway, where drivers routinely fail to obey the traffic laws, which state that an amber light means you come to a complete stop if it is safe to do so; it does not mean speed up, which I see on a regular basis.

I would like to see the RCMP doing enforcement in this area before someone is killed.

Wayne McQueen, Burnaby

Missing the green mark Dear Editor: Last Sunday I was visited by my local Green Party candidate, Joe Keithley. He asked for my support in the upcoming provincial election, and I told him, not in so many words, I wouldn’t support any candidate who doesn’t raise the issue of B.C. Hydro’s practice of charging a fee of $32.40 a month to those of us who wish to retain our analog hydro meters.

To this, he told me that I would have to raise this issue at an all-candidates meeting. I didn’t reply then, but I certainly am now. If he thought the issue was important, both he and his party would raise it. Last provincial election, we didn’t have any all-candidates meetings in my riding.

And if you have a smart meter on your house or condo and don’t think this issue is important, then maybe you don’t care much about your own health. These meters emit radiation 24 hours a day and are fire hazards if their lithium batteries get wet. And if that isn’t enough, we’re being bombarded by radiation from Telus’s cell towers and radiation-emitting units being placed on telephone poles. The bullies at B.C. Hydro charge the highest fees in North America to those of us who are fighting to retain our own health.

They call themselves the “Green” party, but they’re no better than any other party when they run and hide from an issue which affects us all.

Between 11 a.m. and noon, Burnaby RCMP got calls from Vancity at Market Crossing, a Royal Bank in the 5000 block of Kingsway and the TD Canada Trust in the 1900 block of Willingdon.

In each case, a man ap-

proached a teller with a note demanding money but did not produce a weapon.

“We can’t definitively say that they’re the same suspect, but our descriptors are similar in all three,” Burnaby RCMP Cpl. Daniela Panesar told the NOW. The suspect is described as a white man, 25 to 30 years of age, wearing a dark baseball cap, dark hoodie

and sweatpants.

One witness after the TD Canada Trust robbery also reported the suspect getting into a gold-coloured sedan, according to police.

Anyone with information about these incidents is asked to contact the Burnaby RCMP at 604-2947922.

U.S. field trips examined Continued from page 5 to the U.S., everyone on the trip will return home.

That won’t be the case for Burnaby trips, according to Bombelli.

For the few remaining U.S. trips that have already gotten final approval for this year, he said organizers have been directed to have a contingency plan in place if a student should be turned away at the border.

In each case, the plan involves an adult being on hand to stay with the student until their parents

can get them, according to Bombelli.

“They’ve, of course, met with parents for all of these trips, have discussed all of these issues,” he said. “The feeling from parents is to continue to go.”

As for future trips, they’ll be considered on a caseby-case basis depending on whether the experience gained from the trip could be gotten elsewhere.

A B.C. Provincial School for the Deaf trip to Vancouver,Washington, earlier this month for an American Sign Language competition,

for example, would have been considered, he said.

“If that came today, we would look at that,” he said.

“The only place they could get that experience is there.”

Bombelli said the district has tried to strike a balance in its approach.

“All of our trips should be available for all of our kids to enjoy. Having said that, a straight-out ban might actually hinder some opportunities for kids, so we want to be able to look at each one and be flexible on when can it work, when should it work.”

City to clean up mess

By Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

The city will step in to clean up the mess at a Pender Street apartment after numerous complaints.

At last week’s council meeting, councillors gave city workers the green light to enter 3837 Pender St. and remove the debris, including planks of wood, a shopping cart, overgrowth and garbage, at the expense of the owner.

The building, which contains nine suites, is registered to Canny Huey and Lewis Huey, according to a staff report.

The city’s bylaw “prohibits the owners or occupiers of real property from allowing property to become untidy or unsightly” and requires “owners or occupiers of real property, or their agents, to remove therefrom any accumulation of filth, discarded materials, or rubbish of any kind.”

Between 2012 and 2015, the city received 10 com-

WATERMAIN FLUSHING The City Engineering Department will be commencing its annual program of flushing and cleaning watermains on February 9th 2017 to May 31st 2017 This activity may cause pressure fluctuations, some discoloration and sediment in the water supply reaching your home or business.

These conditions should be of short duration and do not pose a health hazard.

If your water appears discolored after our crews have finished flushing, clear your water by running a cold water tap.

plaints concerning dumping at the rear of the Pender Street apartment.The last time the three-storey walk-up was brought into voluntary compliance was Sept. 25, 2015.

In 2016, the city received another complaint regarding unsightly conditions.

“Since receiving the most recent complaint, attempts by staff to bring the property into volun-

tary compliance has proven unsuccessful,” reads the report. “While some initial progress was made, the property owners have never fully complied with the bylaw.”

The report noted the city sent the property owners correspondence on Sept. 9, 2016 and on Oct. 4, 2016, as well as three sets of bylaw violation notices, which have yet to be paid.

Mosaic is working with SFU Community Trust and the City of Burnaby on a development proposal for Parcel 31 at UniverCity on Burnaby Mountain.

Our proposal includes a 5 storey residential building with 84 apartments, 15 garden townhomes and 32 townhomes. The development embraces UniverCity’s Slopes Neighbourhood Plan.

We look forward to hearing your feedback on Fraser.

GoFundMe page set up by his family.

Because the cardiac arrest cut off the supply of oxygen to his brain, he now has severe brain damage, and the cost of his ICU stay piled up at a rate of $15,000 per day, the family said.

Kelly was moved from the ICU and was breathing on his own by Sunday, according to a GoFundMe page update, but his family has since learned he suffered a stroke along with the heart attack and the level of brain

damage he sustained can’t yet be determined.

“As you can imagine, the stress and worry of what is actually happening is unbearable for us and feels so terribly cruel,” they said.

Family members flew to Vancouver within hours of getting the news, according to the GoFundMe page.

They are now hoping to raise nearly $145,000 to pay for a special medical flight for Kelly back to Ireland.

Burnaby at heart of new film

Movie with a message: Burnaby residents are invited out to a screening of To the Ends of the Earth, a documentary that looks at issues surrounding fossil fuel depletion – including the 2014 Burnaby Mountain protests against the Kinder Morgan pipeline. The screening is set for Thursday, March 30.

Documentary features 2014 Kinder Morgan pipeline protests bar rag,” he said. “When you get into this kind of crud, you know you’re at the end of the line.”

The film succeeded despite some logistical challenges.While flying a drone over a Burnaby Kinder Morgan tank farm, Lavallée was warned by CSIS his actions may count as a precursor to terrorism. No charges were laid.

The upcoming screening will include an all-candidates debate for Burnaby’s MLA hopefuls. Lavallée looks forward to local can-

didates addressing the issues raised in the film, and stressed the importance of policymakers responding directly to public environmental concerns. Local Burnaby activists featured in the film include Lynne Quarmby, who ran as Green party candidate for Burnaby North-Seymour in the 2015 federal election, and fellow SFU professor Stephen Collis.

Burnaby is the symbol of global environmental issues and economic “degrowth” in David Lavallée’s upcoming documentary To the Ends of the Earth.

The film will screen on Thursday, March 30 at 7 p.m. at Slovenian Hall, 5762 Sprott St. “I screened this film across North America, but screening it in Burnaby really has a special place in my heart,” says Lavallée. “Burn-

aby is an important piece of the story, and many local Burnaby residents are stars of the film.”

The documentary features the 2014 Burnaby Mountain protests against the Kinder Morgan pipeline as part of a larger narrative of global fossil fuel depletion. Lavallée claims the world may be seeing the end of fossil fuel-driven economic growth, as quality supplies dwindle.

Creativity & Children A great mix That’s one of the reasons our annual Design an Ad special supplement continues to be popular in Burnaby.

The Burnaby NOW, local businesses and organizations, and the Burnaby school district, team up and ask city students to design newspaper ads for the special section.

Every year, the students produce insightful, creative, thoughtful – and often humorous – advertisements that highlight the strengths of their subjects and often carry compelling messages.

The businesses and groups get to choose which students’ advertisement they want to run in the section and our photographer visits the students. The ads and photos of students are put together by our team at the Burnaby NOW and another Design an Ad section is complete.

The ads are also on display at Loughed Town Centre from March 31.

I would like to thank all of the students, teachers and participating advertisers who continue to make this annual project a real success!

Burnaby - A great place to learn Public Education means that every child is given the opportunity to learn and to be inspired to reach their potential, and Burnaby’s public schools have been doing just that, serving the learning needs of the community since 1906.

Arts; a Challenge or MACC Program for high-ability learners, or a school that focuses on education through the arts.

Secondary students will appreciate that the District offers one of the largest AP programs in Canada, including an option to earn an AP Capstone Diploma. Other specialized learning opportunities include sports academies, visual & performing Education is not a “one size arts programs, a wide range of fits all,” and we offer many career education options including options to support the unique Mechatronics (Robotics) and Health Sciences, and a mini-school for high learning needs of each child. ability learners.

Our mission, to prepare an inclusive caring community of learners for the challenges of a changing tomorrow is as valid today as it was 110 years ago –perhaps even more so. For with the impact of globalization and technology, the jobs of today are not likely to be the jobs of the future. We continue to be innovative, finding ways to engage our students and ensure they are prepared to contribute and thrive in the evolved world they will encounter.

We are making a difference – preparing our students for the challenges of a changing tomorrow and the accolades and awards garnered by our students, staff and schools are testimony to this fact.

We invite you to learn more about Burnaby’s public schools at www.sd41.bc.ca – so many reasons to be proud.

Ron Burton

Chair, Burnaby Board of Education

Education is not a “one size fits all,” and we offer many options to support the unique learning needs of each child.

For elementary students, this may include a language program such as French Immersion or Mandarin Language

AS WE AGE

Celebrating Seniors

Quiz tests seniors’ cybersecurity knowledge Ninety-six per cent of Canadian seniors age 70 and older use the internet to check email, manage money and keep in touch via social media.

Two-thirds of those users have been a victim to a hack, according to a new survey.

As part of Fraud Prevention Month, Home Instead

Senior Care has launched a new website to help people recognize the hazards so it doesn’t happen to them.

Protectseniorsonline.ca offers a 10-question yes-orno quiz.The questionnaire describes different scenarios where seniors might fall for a scam, including when not to click the Download Now button and when it’s OK to

Scams to watch out for: According to the National Cyber Security Alliance and the Better Business Bureau, here are five cyber scams that seniors need to avoid: Tech support scams: These types of scams can appear as “pop-ups,” that show up on computer screens and look like legitimate offers from reputable companies such as Microsoft. They could be selling fake software or asking for remote computer access, or install malware to steal personal and financial information.

She got one of those pop-ups on the computer saying, ‘Your computer has been infected with this virus…’ open an email attachment.

Dennis Fancy, owner of the Home Instead Senior Care Burnaby chapter, said one client of his was taken

Tax scams: The tax season provides another window of opportunity for online fraudsters. Online criminals will sometimes send emails claiming they are from the Canada Revenue Agency and there is something wrong with your recent tax return. They will even threaten to contact police if you don’t pay the fine ASAP. Public Safety Canada explains the CRA will never contact you via email if there is a problem with your return.

Ransomware: This is a malicious software designed to block access to a computer system until a sum of money is paid. Prevent ransomware by ensuring your sys-

for $250.

“She got one of those pop-ups on the computer saying, ‘Your computer has been infected with this vi-

rus and phone this number with your credit card.’They took $250 from her Visa,” he said.

Another one of Fancy’s clients fell for the popular Canada Revenue Agency scam, which via email, redirects victims to a website that mimics the actual CRA, where consumers are told to input personal infor-

tem has an up-to-date antivirus system.

Also, never open suspicious emails from unknown senders, do not download attachments from senders you do not trust or suspicious emails, and avoid clicking on links in suspicious emails.

False debt collectors: False debt collection emails often come as official-looking documents and the tone of the emails may be threatening and urgent. Do not respond, open any attachments or click on any links. Delete these emails. If you’re concerned about whether you owe money, contact any creditors directly to find out if they sent the emails.

mation.

The survey showed 41 per cent of seniors use the internet to bank online, with 21 per cent paying bills online. Nearly one quarter file their taxes online.

Fancy said by taking the online quiz, Burnaby seniors will be better equipped against fraud.

Sweepstakes scams: A sweepstakes scam often asks you to pay to receive your prize.

Another version of this is a charity scam, asking you to help those in need. Sweepstakes and charities scams prey on emotions, and scam charities may have names similar to real charities. However, they usually cannot provide important documentation of their identity and mission, nor provide proof of tax-deductible contribution. If you believe the charity is legitimate, you can check it out by looking up the number and calling it.

COIN SHOW

WHAT’S HAPPENING? Are you a collector?

The Coins, Stamps and Collectibles Show is coming to Burnaby this weekend and everyone is invited. There will be dealers in Canadian coins, world coins, ancient coins, stamps, covers, postcards, medals, tokens, bank notes and other collectibles.

TELL ME MORE The Canadian coinage featured will be from the 19th century to present day. The world coins display will have everything from a whooper swan from Finland to the China 2016 silver panda. Expect the unusual from Mike Souza, who loves all-things strange, including non-round, wooden, ceramic, guitar-shaped and spherical coins. Travel back in time by perusing the postcard and stamp collection – from 1900s New Alberni to the 1939 Germany.

WHERE IS IT HAPPENING?

The event is happening at the Nikkei National Museum and Cultural Centre, located at 6688 Southoaks Cres.

The facility is four kilometres east of Metrotown at the intersection of Kingsway and Sperling (Sperling becomes Southoaks south of Kingsway). There’s easy access from Metrotown via the #106 or by SkyTrain (stop at the Edmonds station).

There is free underground

parking at the centre and along Beresford Street.

WILL THERE BE FOOD? There’s a Japanese restaurant onsite, as well as other food outlets on Kingsway. So make sure to come hungry!

WHEN DOES EVERYTHING START? The collectibles show is on from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, April 1 and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, April 2. Admission is $2 or $3 for both days. It’s free for kids 16 and under if accompanied by an adult.

Purple basketball nets are popping up across the city.

It’s part of the Purple Net Project, an initiative by Big Brothers of GreaterVancouver that aims to show the need for volunteers.The organization, which pairs young boys with an older male role model, is looking for 23 Big Brothers and 50 in-school mentors from Burnaby.

“We seem to get more volunteers in theVancouver area, but the need is huge outside ofVancouver,” executive directorValerie Lam-

bert told the NOW, adding there’s a two-year wait list of children in Surrey, the TriCities and Richmond.

The Purple Net Project, coordinated with spring break and March Madness, will see 100 purple nets hung across the Lower Mainland in basketball courts where the hoop has no mesh, one net for each child waiting for a Big Brother. In Burnaby, there will be 10 to 15 nets hung.

Another goal of the campaign is to show that becoming a Big Brother is not a daunting task that requires extravagant excursions and lots of money.

“It can be as simple as kicking a soccer ball, going for a walk,” Lambert said.

“It’s about the presence and being there together. I think the purple net is a great way of getting that message across – that everybody has the capacity to make a lifechanging impact on the Little Brother.”

Many men don’t think they can take on the role of a Big Brother, noted Lambert.

“They think, ‘Oh, I’m not going to be good enough; I’m not going to get through the process I’m not going to be chosen,’” she said.

Do you need to rebrand your own self-image?

DavidicusWong HEALTHWISE

editorial@burnabynow.com

In business, branding is everything.

A lot of thought goes into a company’s choice of name, trademark and slogan, and that slogan – the catchy way that it expresses its values, vision and purpose – influences how the organization is seen by its employees and customers.

Well-chosen slogans are sticky.We automatically associate them with the brand.

Nike: Just do it. Kentucky Fried Chicken: Finger-lickin’ good. Coke: It’s the real thing.

Those sticky ideas get into our heads – sometimes through creative commercials and advertising campaigns, often through sheer repetition.They can have greater impact when spoken by charismatic or influential personalities.

Over time, we just accept them as part of our daily landscape, soundscape and mindscape.We eventual-

ly stop questioning their validity.

Therein lies the danger of slogans.We quickly adopt them as habits of thought.

They shape our beliefs and influence how we see the world.

As children, memorable phrases can help us learn important rules and good behaviour: I before E except after C. Look both ways before you cross the street; use your eyes and use your ears, before you use your feet. An apple a day keeps the doctor away.

Through the power of habit, what we repeatedly think becomes our inclination.

The connections between specific neurons are reinforced over time, and, like a well-travelled path, become ingrained.

This is fine when those habitual thoughts are true and useful.

Unfortunately, we all carry personal slogans adopted from the past.They may have been said first by influential people, like parents or teachers, or we may have

come up with them through past experiences.They are reinforced by self-talk: what we say to ourselves that shapes our opinions, feelings and actions.

Negative self-slogans that are never totally true and don’t help anyone include: “I’ll never be happy.” “I can’t control myself.” “I’m a loser.” “I can’t win.” “I’m not good enough.” “There’s something wrong with me.”

“Those people are different.”

Negative self-slogans can limit your thoughts, narrow your perspective, shape your emotions and keep you from trying.

What are your limiting beliefs about yourself and others? In what ways are you heeding the slogans of past advertising campaigns of companies long out of business?

Some of the things we bring forward from the past no longer apply or may never have been true. If you need help identifying negative self-talk, do what businesses do. Put together a small focus group of your

best friends. Ask them what negative phrases you regularly use.

Try out some new slogans. Here are some of mine. “Be an agent of positive change.” “We were made to move.When we don’t, our health suffers;

when we do, we thrive.” “Of the things within your control, the best predictors of your future health are the habits you practice today.”

“Help yourself to happiness by helping others.” “Give more than you get.”

St. Thomas More teen keeps her distance Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

At 14, Milena Kalisch has discovered a few things.

She loves running, and the longer the course better.

She’s also pretty good at it.

Kalisch made an impressive debut at the U.S. Athletic Amateur Union (AAU) national indoor track and field championships earlier this month in Landover, Maryland, declaring a couple of medals for the return home.

For the St.Thomas More student, it was awesome just being there.

“I felt very excited to have done so well my first time competing in a national championship event,” she told the NOW in an email.

“I felt so happy and overjoyed that I was even able to participate in such a big event in front of such large crowds.”

Kalisch competed in the 3,000- and 1,500-metre races for 14-year-old girls, scoring silver and bronze.

Not a bad spring break result for someone who spent much of 2016 sidelined due to a leg fracture.

“I felt a bit nervous before starting because I had never run the 3,000m on a track,” she recalled. “In Canada we do not run the 3,000m in competition until we are 16 years old. I had only run 3,000m in practice and in cross-country races.

“This was my first track race since I fractured my tibia early in 2016, so I worried a little about my leg.”

Her first event was the 3,000m run, one of 20 runners competing for position on a 200m track. She was aware that it could be jumbled and didn’t want that to stymie her pace.

“Before I left for the races, my coach recommended I start at a comfortable pace on the edge of the pack until the crowd thinned out.

After six laps there was a group of five of us in the lead … and it got tactical because no one wanted to take the lead so the race slowed down a lot.”

When she crossed the finish line there was just one runner ahead of her – 13 seconds separating her from gold. Entering the race, based on her personal best, Kalisch was seeded ninth.

The next day, she followed a similar route in the 1,500m event, enduring a crowded field and slipping back as far as eighth before lopping into the topthree by the fifth lap to finish third overall in a time of 5:08.66.This time, just five seconds separated her from first.

As a youth, Kalisch gave numerous events a try, first as a member of the Royal City Track and Field Club and now with Ocean Athletic in White Rock, where her coach is Olympic 3,000m bronze medallist Lynn Ka-

KEEPING HER STRIDE: St. Thomas More’s Milena Kalisch, in bib 2164, guards the inside lane during one of her races last week at the U.S. AAU national indoor track and field championships. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED nuka.

A B.C. champion in both cross-country and the 1200m in 2015, Kalisch’s winning stride was stopped by a leg stress fracture. It meant a couple of months of little activity, then onto a pool treadmill.With lots of encouragement from her coach and oversight from her doctor at Fortius Sport and Health, she strengthened the limb to the point where she was ready to race.

Putting last year’s injury behind her, the Californiaborn, Canadian-raised teen said the biggest challenge to getting back on course wasn’t the physical, but the mental side of recovery.

“The biggest obstacles to overcome after my injury (were) the fear of reinjuring my leg and getting my speed back.When I was injured, I could do nothing for months, so first I had to get back in shape and now

it’s working on regaining my speed. … It was really hard not to be running and training with my club, I felt very sad and worried about my leg.”

Her first race after the rehab was the Pinetree Classic cross-country race last September, which she won. She followed that with a provincial championship.

The most comfortable fit has been the distance races.

“I love the long races and

the strategy involved.You have to decide where you should be positioned in the first few laps of your race, and you also need to figure out when you need to start picking up the pace,” she said. “You have to be careful to make sure you don’t go out too fast so that you still have the energy left to sprint when it’s time for your finishing kick.”

Burnaby golfers top bantam division championships Andy Luo got his second wind on the second round at the Maple Leaf Tour’s Vancouver junior golf championships last week.

Sitting second overall after the opening day, the 14-year-old Burnaby golf-

er produced one of the best rounds of the tournament of any age division, shooting 70 to stake out first place.

Even a mediocre 77 on the third and final day couldn’t knock him off course, as Luo took first place hon-

ours on the 6,147 yard, par72 University Golf Club.

“I am very happy about this win because I shot under par on Day 2 and won the (season’s) first (Maple Leaf Tour) tournament.”

His game on Day 2 was

impressive, with five birdies, including four on the front nine holes. Although he couldn’t replicate that result on the third day, hitting his lone double-bogey on the 17th hole, Luo had built enough of a cushion to win

by four strokes (74, 70 and 77 for a total of 221).

Sharing second place was Burnaby’s Leo Harper and Surrey’s Bailey Bjornson.

Harper cut two strokes off his game on the last day to finish on with a two-over 74

(75, 76 and 74, for a total of 225).

The next stop for the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour is April 15 and 16 in Surrey for the Humber College PGM Classic.

VIJFHUIZEN, Theodora Maria

November 21, 1934 March 22, 2017 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our beautiful mother. After a long battle with Alzheimer’s, Thea fought to the very end of her life with all the strength and determination that she was known for. In the presence of her loving son, friends and wonderful staff at the New Vista Care Home in Burnaby.

Thea’s soul was welcomed in the arms of her Lord on the second day of Spring. Thea enjoyed life in so many ways, including in her much loved career as a first aid ski patroller and of course, dancing and showing off her legs at the Royal Canadian Legion # 2. Thea adored her sons and will also be sadly missed by many friends and family in Canada, the US and her birthplace, the Netherlands. Thea was always ready to help those in need and as a final act of kindness she has donated her body to the UBC Body Donation Program to assist in hopefully finding a cure for Alzheimer’s Disease.

Donations to the Alzheimer’s Association http://www.alzheimer.ca/en/bc/Get-involved/Ways-to-donate or the UBC Body Donation Program (604-822-2578) would be very appreciated.

BAIRD, Ernest McNea

March 28, 1923 - March 17, 2017 Ernest McNea Baird passed away at Burnaby, BC on March 17, 2017, 11 days shy of his 94th birthday.

Ernie was predeceased by his 9 brothers and sisters.

Ernie is survived by Joan (nee Vaughan) his loving wife, of 65 years. They were married in Cumberland, BC on August 25, 1951. Ernie is lovingly remembered by his 5 children: James (Sally), John (Nancy), Rosemary, David (Sharon) and Kathryn (Ivor). And by his 12 grandchildren: David (Margot), Greg (Anita), Andrew (Charne), Shannon, Elizabeth, Christina (Andrew), Nicholas (Krista), Steven (Elya), Laura, Madalene, Cecilly and Felicia.

Also by his great grandchildren: Thomas, Claire and Brynna.

Born on the family farm near Nakusp, BC, March 28, 1923, Ernie was the 9th of 10 children. In 1942 he joined the RCAF, and as a Lancaster bomber pilot flew a full 30 operations in Europe during World War II. Following the defeat of Germany, he volunteered for transfer to the Pacific war against Japan but while in training back in Canada the war ended.

With government support as a veteran, Ernie went on to earn a Civil Engineering degree from UBC in 1951. He then worked for 39 years for a number of well-known Vancouver engineering firms including HA Simons, Crippen Wright, and Acres retiring in 1990. His work included pulp mills, bridges, dams, and power houses in Canada and internationally.

Ernie’s life centered around Family. He was always eager to maintain extended family ties through visits, reunions, and his work on the family tree. Ernie enjoyed outdoor activities such as hiking, camping and canoeing. His outdoor experience made him a skillful scout leader for many years. Ernie was active in South Burnaby United Church, the AOTS men’s group, and FairHaven Homes. He was also his neighbourhood Block Watch Captain for many years.

A memorial service will be held at Jubilee United Church (formerly South Burnaby United), at 7591 Gray Ave. at the corner of Rumble St., Burnaby on Saturday, April 8, 2017 at 1:00 pm. with Reverend Brownmiller officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Jubilee United Church, or the charity of your choice.

Condolences may be offered to the family at www.bellburnaby.com

åW HITE SPOT RESTAURANTS Set sail on the NEW W.S. Legendary!

What is the new White Spot Kids Program?

After serving over 25 million Pirate Paks since 1968, White Spot has brought its iconic ship into the digital age with the launch of their new 3D augmented reality Kids Program. The interactive Pirate Pak features a fresh cast of animated characters and revamped treasure map, plus the new W.S. Legendary pirate ship that allows kids of all ages to join the crew on their legendary (mis)adventures!

How can kids interact with the new Pirate Pak? They can interact with the new Pirate Pak through our WS Kids app on their mobile device. Using SmartLenz technology the camera will interact with the pirate ship and treasure map by hovering over the 3D digital markers. Kids can play games, make music, read stories, watch videos and interact with the characters.

What kind of characters can kids expect to meet?

Aboard the W.S. Legendary they will meet the dashing, daring and dauntless Captain Beak Rogers who has assembled a rag-tag crew called the ‘Cluckaneers’. The crew features the quick-witted Penny Poulet (who is even quicker with her flipper) and messy first mate Drumstick Nick – a no-napkin, never-ceasing nibbler. They are always hungry for new adventures!

What games can kids play on this new app?

Kids of all ages, and the young-at-heart, can join the ‘Cluckaneers’ in action-packed games like Doubloon Debacle, Bookadoodle Boom, Pirate Ship Battle and Cannon Bowling. They can also collect medallions and hunt for tasty treasure in the mysterious ‘Cluckaneer Cove’. There are over 10 different activities for kids to engage with and the app will be automatically updated with the latest seaworthy adventures.

How do you download the WS Kids app and start playing?

You can download the free WS Kids app on IOS or Android devices through the App Store or Google Play by searching WS Kids. The games don’t require internet access once the app has been downloaded and a printable version of the interactive map can also be downloaded from the White Spot website.

Visit whitespot.ca/kids for full details.
