Queen and cake: A winning combo For most people, Monday was a statutory holiday and day to relax. But for the staff at the Burnaby Village Museum, it was a day to celebrate Queen Victoria, for whom the holiday is named after. The museum, decorated in a 1920s Olde England theme, was hopping with activity, including children doing a traditional maypole dance, the Tiddley Cove Morris dancers

performing and the Metropolitan concert band providing musical accompaniment. “For me, Victoria Day is one of the most fun days of the year,” said Nancy Stagg, marketing and sponsorship coordinator for the museum. “Everybody had a great time, and the weather even held up.” The historical re-enactors, the Seymour Artillery Company, got the

proceedings going with a salute and cannon-firing for Queen Victoria as she entered the museum on a Model T just after 2 p.m. Sitting beside the Queen – played by actor Heather McPherson – was honorary reeve Carol Rush. “The top on the Model T was down, and everybody was cheering,” said Stagg of the crowd estimated at 700 people.

Health critic decries 18-month MRI waits Funding cuts have increased waiting times says Adrian Dix Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

It can take up to 18 months to get an MRI scan at Burnaby General Hospital, one year after the hospital acquired a new MRI machine, according to the NDP health critic.

Funding cuts have increased waiting times, Adrian Dix said in a press release. Fraser Health estimates most patients wait five to seven months. “Thousands of patients have to undergo an MRI scan before having surgery or in order to have medical treatment,” Dix said. “But the B.C. Liberals are limiting access to care by cutting 10,000 MRI procedures and reducing the budget for diagnostic services by another 10 per cent

in the coming months.” Before the May 2009 election, the B.C Liberals increased MRI volumes in Metro Vancouver and other parts of the province, Dix added, but after the election, they cut funding. Health Minister Kevin Falcon plans to consolidate diagnostic services in the Lower Mainland to trim the budget by another 10 per cent. “Technicians responsible for operating

MRIs have been notified about potential layoffs,” Dix said in his press release. According to the Ministry of Health Services, the number of MRIs performed in B.C. has increased by 170 per cent since 2001/02. The province conducted 101,000 MRI exams in 2008/09, the ministry has reported, up from approximately 37,000 in 2001. “We are experiencing growing costs MRIs Page 9

‘The ones that slip through the cracks’ Special program designed for immigrant youth in Burnaby and New Westminster Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

hen Mitra Mahmoodi came from Iran to Canada last September, everything was different. She couldn’t speak the language and had trouble with the mundane but necessary things in life: going to the bank, renting an apartment, shopping for groceries. Now, from a room in New Westminster’s Lower Mainland Purpose Society for Youth and Families, she sits at table and talks about how she got involved with the Newcomer Youth Connection Program, a specialized program designed to help new immigrants adapt to Canadian life, learn the language and get their education back on track. Mahmoodi wears a scarf over her hair, speaks softly and weaves her long, thin fingers through the air as she tells her story. The 24-year-old moved to Canada from Iran with her newlywed husband so he could further his education. Back in Tehran, Mahmoodi was studying economics in university. “When I came, I couldn’t speak English at all. I couldn’t communicate with another person,” she said. Now, she’s working on a written English assignment, outlining her opinion on Quebec’s proposal to ban the veil, worn by some Muslim women. Three months ago, Mahmoodi signed up with the Newcomer Youth Connection Program. It’s for New Westminster and Burnaby youth, between the ages of 15 and about 24, who have moved to Canada within the past five years. It’s designed for youth who don’t fit in the traditional school settings. “We take all the youth who drop (out) from mainstream school,” says program coordinator Tully Mtatiro. They get help with things like life skills, English and counselling so they are ready to go back to school — either high school or adult education, depending on how old they are. Each student gets an individualized program, and they work one-on-one and in groups with their instructors. The program is for all the ones who can’t cope with school for whatever reason: language barriers, cultural barriers or emotional problems. Mtatiro says some come from refugee camps; they may have witnessed atrocities and now need counselling. More than 65 youth have successfully graduated since the program started last September, Mtatiro says. Alex Gist is Mahmoodi’s life skills teacher. He works with a team of seven that includes a teacher, a thera-

pist, a youth worker and outreach workers. He says the school usually has about 15 students, and they stay for about two months, but it varies depending on need. “We’re like a bridge program, a transition program,” he says. “It’s not a high school, it’s not a university, but we’re trying to get them into those things.” Most of the students are from East Africa or the Middle East, Gist says. Some are referred to the program through local high schools. New Westminster Secondary, for example, and Burnaby’s Byrne Creek Secondary both have a high population of refugee kids. Gist says a lot of students come to Canada when they are young and can pick up the language and assimilate, but it’s the older kids that have a harder time. “They come into high school, they have to adjust, they have to learn English,” Gist says. “They are kind of the ones that slip through the cracks.” And that’s what the program is trying to address.

The Ministry of Advanced Education funds the program, which is free. There are bus tickets and food available, based on need. For Mahmoodi, the program is helping her prepare for an academic environment. She wants to go back to school and change her major to become a kindergarten teacher. Meanwhile, Mtatiro hopes to get more youth involved. And to help spread the word, the Purpose Society is holding an open house to showcase the relatively new program. Mtatiro hopes to spread news to the community so more youth get referred. “When the youth drop out from school, it’s very hard to get them,” Mtatiro says. The event is Friday, May 28, from noon to 4 p.m. at 720 12th St. in New Westminster. To RSVP, e-mail tully. mtatiro@purposesociety.org.

Govt. flips on PST refund for leaky condos Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Leaky condo owners in the midst of a multi-million repair project at a Burnaby highrise will get their PST refund on work done before the government scraps the rebate program on June 30. “We’re certainly glad to get some cer-

There are 50 units, and the owners have already pitched in roughly $75,000 each for a $3.8million repair job. The 12-month project started last year and is expected to wrap

up this October. Earlier this year, Lancelyn was told that the Homeowner Protection Office deemed them ineligible for a refund because the repair job would not be complete before the program was going to be scrapped — that would have cost them an estimated $100,000 extra. “Our advisors (project manager and

engineer) queried this in March on our behalf and were told that the project had to have reached ‘substantial completion’ by June 30 to be eligible for the rebate. Substantial completion is defined as 97.5 per cent completion. Under that definition, we would not have been eligible,”

Condos: PST rebates are available continued from page 3

Lancelyn wrote in an e-mail to the NOW. But last Friday, Lancelyn received a phone call from the rebate program administrator, who said they would be eligible for rebates on repairs done up till June 30, when the program will end. B.C. Housing spokesperson Sam Rainboth said that any homeowner can get a PST rebate on the portion of work completed that they’ve paid PST on, provided they have the proper paperwork. “As long as they can provide that by the June 30 deadline, they can get rebates,” Rainboth said. “I’m not sure exactly when the change occurred, but back in March, for example, … builders and contractors were being told by HPO

they would have had to reach substantial completion. Since that time, HPO decided to make the change, because, obviously in interest of fairness, (those) people who had paid the PST by the end of June should get rebated for it. The definition basically has been changed, and we are going to have to clarify that.” Rainboth said they’ve been keeping track of people who have contacted the office regarding the PST rebate and that office staff are notifying them that

they will now be eligible for rebates up till June 30. “Anyone who can show they’ve paid PST on work they’ve done up till June 30, they’ll get the rebate,” he said. But news of the refund is only a part of the picture for Lancelyn. Because the HST will mean an additional seven per cent tax on many things now PST exempt come July 1 – labour, for example – the strata is still estimating another $110,000 in additional costs.

staff reporter

A Burnaby man pleaded guilty on May 21 to having sex with more than a dozen underage girls in Cambodia and Colombia. Kenneth Robert Klassen also pleaded guilty in B.C. Supreme Court to one count of importing child pornography in the high-profile sex-tourism case, believed to be the third such case prosecuted in Canada. The accused, a father of three in his 50s, made a brief appearance in court to enter his pleas, a week before a jury was to be selected for his trial. Klassen, an international art dealer, pleaded guilty to six counts of sexual touch-

Beware of phone extortion scams

The Burnaby RCMP is warning the public about a telephone extortion scam that is making its way throughout the Lower Mainland. On May 13, a Burnaby resident received a call from an unknown man at around 10:45 a.m. The suspect spoke Mandarin and English and knew the victim’s name. He demanded the victim get $10,000 cash ready and said, “Don’t let me come get you.” The Burnaby resident hung up the phone and called the Burnaby RCMP. Burnaby RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Brenda Gresiuk said the Burnaby resident did the right thing and the manner and details of the May 13 incident are similar to a scam tried last year. Gresiuk said police in Vancouver, Richmond and Surrey have also received similar reports about this scam. She advised that people who want more information on avoiding being scammed can go to www. phonebusters.com to learn more about recognizing and protecting oneself against scams and frauds.

ing involving girls under the age of 14 in Colombia. The offences occurred between December 1998 and March 2002. He also pleaded guilty to eight counts of sexual touching involving girls under the age of 14 in Cambodia. Those offences occurred in August 2001. Klassen pleaded guilty

to importing child pornography between August and September 2004. The accused, who remains out on bail, is to make his next appearance in court Thursday (May 27) to deal with bail issues and to set a date for sentencing.

That’s about 9,000 fewer vehicles per day. That’s a lot. It’s also not surprising considering that the bridge usually looks like a ghost town no matter what time of day. But TransLink isn’t worried. Of course it isn’t. “What we see, though, is a trend that’s improving,” said Hardie optimistically. In March, for instance, the peak volume hit an average of 26,200. Whether that number stays solid and continues to grow is anybody’s guess.

We hope so because, under the bridge contract, TransLink (meaning us) has to pay the builder no matter what. This isn’t to say we don’t like the bridge. But surely there is something that needs to be adjusted. Perhaps the toll is too much? A smaller toll might mean a lot more drivers using the bridge. In any case, it doesn’t make sense to see cars lined up bumper-tobumper on the Trans Canada spewing exhaust fumes while the new bridge is vastly underused.

The teachings of the Catholic Church may be considered essential tenets of the curriculum and code of conduct at this school, but that does not preclude the school from violating the law, particularly in this case when there is no demonstrable proof of any wrongdoing by Ms. Reimer, only the complaints of the parents who claim there is a possibility of future harm to the students. This is a debate about rights, and where the rights of religious groups end and the rights of the individual begin. As has been noted by media reports of this issue, there has been no accusation of misconduct by Ms. Reimer, and there has been no complaint against her ability to teach the courses she has been assigned by the administration. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is quite clear in section 15 that discrimination based on sexual orientation is unconstitutional. The Canadian Human Rights Act and the B.C. Human Rights Code also specifically note that sexual orientation is a protected class from discrimination. These pieces of legislation, as well as our Constitution, are not simply disregarded because of section two and the guarantee of freedom of religion. All freedoms in Canada are subject to reasonable limits, and it is reasonable to say that religious freedom should be limited when

Private schools aren’t picky

Dear Editor:

Re: Two-tiered education, Letters to the editor, Burnaby NOW, April 28 It is a misconception that all people who seek out a private education for their children are rich. The partial public funding of some independent schools makes the cost of this alternative education within reach for families with moderate incomes. Families who chose private or independent school for their children are also taxpayers, and society at large will be served by these children, too, once they are educated. Since society stands to benefit, then society should also make a contribution to their education. The suggestion or notion that private schools offer better education because they “cream” the applicants and only select high achieving students is not entirely accurate, and there are other important factors that are often overlooked by those who make this argument. Education should be about giving our children the opportunities to learn and develop to their potential in a positive environment. We would all be much better served if we all chose to focus on that objective rather than engage in highly divisive and negative discussions pitting public education against private education. Angela Battiston, Burnaby

Liberals: Lagging in polls continued from page 6

religious right, which would doom it to the margins of the political scene. That’s one prospect of hope for the government. The B.C. Liberals’ other glimmer of hope found in the Mustel poll (and supported by the findings of other recent polls) is that the NDP itself shows few signs of growth in popularity. The NDP is still not viewed with much credibility when it comes to managing the economy. This may provide the only path back to respectability for the B.C. Liberals, but it’s by no means guaranteed. Hansen rhymed off a number of economic indi-

cators and forecasts that all point upwards for B.C. Job numbers are up, as are building permits and retail sales. Mills are reopening as the forest industry lurches back to life, and the mining industry appears stronger than any time in recent memory. Several economic forecasts put B.C. at the head of the pack when it comes to economic growth among provinces. Once an economic recovery takes a firmer hold, will the electorate be more forgiving toward the B.C. Liberals and more suspicious of the NDP’s perceived weakness? Or will a recovery put everyone in a comfort zone that allows enough people to

take a chance on the New Democrats? The answer to this puzzle may provide the key to the next election. In the meantime, Hansen and his colleagues have to find a way to make people listen to them once more. As long as the din over the HST blocks everything else out, the government will continue be ignored (or vilified) – and the prospects of that third party rising will increase. There may come a day when Hansen visits the press gallery and gets his message out in a more effective way, but that day still seems a long way off.

MRIs: Demand for scans constantly on the rise continued from page 1

The Burnaby Hospital Foundation raised $2.7 million to buy the MRI. Fraser Health, which covers Burnaby to Mission, a population of more than 1.5 million, has two other MRI scanners, one at Royal Columbian Hospital and one at Surrey Memorial Hospital MRI brain scans usually take place at Royal Columbian, which has a neurology unit, while scans for tumours are primarily booked at Surrey Memorial, which has a cancer unit, Bernard said. Royal Columbian Hospital’s waiting list is also 18 months long. – with files from The Vancouver Sun

cases. In an article in the NOW in July 2008, a spokesperson for Fraser Health said it was unlikely Burnaby’s new MRI machine would decrease wait times. Population growth in the area, and newly discovered uses for the magnetic resonance imaging unit, meant time slots would still be filled, spokesperson Michael Bernard said in the July 12, 2008 article, titled “Patients will still wait for MRIs.” “The uses of MRI continue to multiply, which drives more demand for its use,” Bernard said.

of technology, drugs and an aging population putting pressures on the sustainability of our health-care system,” according to a statement sent by an aide for B.C. Health Minister Kevin Falcon to The Vancouver Sun on Monday. “We are reviewing the way diagnostic imaging is done in the province to ensure these expensive procedures are being used in an appropriate manner.” The average wait time for MRIs in B.C. was 84 days in 2008, and there was a year-long waitlist at the time, though spaces were held for critical

products. They produce a line appropriately called Natural Beauty Skincare® that is 100% natural and delivers fantastic results.

People have become concerned about what their skin is absorbing from beauty products. For over 10 years Nature’s Creations has been committed to educating consumers on the hazards of toxic synthetic ingredients in skin care products. “It’s very serious, and women are starting to take it seriously” says Suzanne LaurinSeale of Nature’s Creations Aromatherapy and Natural Day Spa. “The average North American woman exposes herself to over 200 synthetic toxic chemicals a day.”

Within weeks, clients comment on how radiant their skin becomes and say their friends notice it too.

Buyer Beware. Many companies have jumped on the “natural” band wagon promoting purity. However, to call a product natural it only has to legally contain 10% natural ingredients. Read labels and ask questions. Nature’s Creations is chocka-block full of 100% natural

Is public health care viable? Forum looks at patientfocused funding and how to sustain public care Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

Patient-focused funding and health-care issues were the topics of discussion at a forum, Public Health Care: How can we sustain it?, held in Burnaby on May 14. The public forum, hosted by the B.C. Health Coalition, had about 100 people in attendance. The primary concern for the coalition is the increase in private healthcare clinics in British Columbia, according to coordinator Lew MacDonald. The coalition’s count is 22 clinics throughout the province, though Burnaby and New Westminster have very few, he said. The New Westminster Surgical Centre is the only private surgical clinic in the area listed online. Private clinics are paid by the government to provide surgical and other health services to treat patients, just as hospitals and physicians are. The issue with such facilities, MacDonald said, is that private clinics sometimes allow patients to jump the queue if they are willing to pay outof-pocket. Another topic of discussion was the provincial government’s announce-

ment that it would be starting a patient focused funding strategy, which pays hospitals per patient treated. The province is planning to spend $250 million over the next two years to launch its patient-focused funding model to the 23 largest hospitals across the province, Health Services Minister Kevin Falcon announced in April. According to MacDonald, the new model would benefit private clinics, at a time when a group of private clinics has a lawsuit against the provincial government. The lawsuit argues that the 2005 Chaoulli Supreme Court of Canada case should be applicable in B.C. That case struck down Quebec’s ban on private insurance for medically necessary services. The private clinics are arguing that patients should be allowed to buy private health insurance to use in private clinics if the public system does not provide the services they need in a timely manner. “If they’re successful in their lawsuit, it opens the door to U.S.-style health insurance,” MacDonald said. The idea that Canada’s health-care system is public is a myth, according to Dr. Brian Day, one of the plaintiffs in the current lawsuit. Canadian patients pay for healthcare services such as dentistry and pharmaceuticals, though that is not the case in many European countries, Day said in a phone interview after the

forum, which he did not attend. Family physicians are also private health-care providers, he pointed out. “Every doctor runs a private, forprofit business,” he said. Day is the former president of the Canadian Medical Association and founder of the private Cambie Surgical Centre. He would like to see more of a European model in Canada, similar to France, where there are both private and public health-care options available but the government pays the provider on the patient’s behalf for necessary medical procedures. Under this system, Canadians would also be able to buy private health insurance to pay private providers on their own. The B.C. Health Coalition, an offshoot of the Canada Health Coalition, has strong union backing and is not specifically speaking for patients, Day said about the forum. He added that patient advocacy groups are needed in Canada. Other forum topics included cuts to health authority budgets and medical tourism. Speakers at the forum included Rachel Tutte, with the coalition; Steven Shrybman, a lawyer with Sack Goldblatt Mitchell LLP; Iglika Ivanova, with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives; Paul Hochfeld, with Physicians for a National Health Program; and Glyn Townson, with the B.C. Persons with AIDS Society.

Road

The City of Burnaby is partnering with the City of Coquitlam to improve the intersection of Lougheed Highway and North Road. Burnaby council approved a budget of $700,000 (which includes 12 per cent HST) for the upgrade project. The project will increase intersection capacity and is designed to make the intersection safer. The plan includes dual left-turn lanes on the north and south legs of North Road at Lougheed and a traffic signal at North Road and Rochester Street. The upgrades are intended to address traffic congestion and pedestrian safety on North Road and improve access to Rochester Street. Construction is scheduled to start this sum-

mer and finish by the end of 2010. The total cost of the project is $1.4 million. Burnaby’s share is $700,000, but TransLink has agreed to pay 50 per cent of the project because the roads are part of the major roads network. Therefore, the net cost to Burnaby will be $350,000.

Balancing act: Christine Konrad holds Laura Evans in the air during a CircusWest rehearsal. The CirKids youth circus program is staging a circus adaptation of Around the World in 80 Days this week at the PNE Gardens.

Youths perform under big top Local teenagers star in circus adaptation of Around the World in 80 Days Andrew Fleming staff reporter

Once upon a time, it was one of parents’ worst nightmares that their kid might someday run off and join the circus. Nowadays, seeing their offspring fly through the air with the greatest of ease can be a dream come true. Take, for example, the proud parents of kids in the popular CirKids program, a non-profit circus school based in the PNE that has been pumping out aspiring acrobats, jugglers, tightrope walkers, trapeze artists, contortionists and the loose-limbed like for more than 25 years. “My mom got me into it,” said Laura Evans, 18. “I was a really active little kid, and I needed something to do. I went to a Cirque du Soleil show and thought, ‘Oh my gosh, circus is so cool!’ My mom then found this for me, and I’ve been doing it since I was nine.” “My mom actually had to convince me to come,” added Burnaby teen Christine Konrad. “There was one girl at my school who was already enrolled, and everybody thought she was really weird because she would ride a unicycle to school. But then my mom convinced me to try, and I just completely fell in love with it.”

CirKids were most recently seen dazzling likes the “roussiere” best, which involves crowds at Robson Square and Granville standing braced inside a large hoop and Island when the world came to town for the rotating around.

Lively City: Fertig exhibition continued from page 13

full guidelines and submission details, call the gallery at 604-298-7322 or e-mail info@burnabyartscouncil. org.

‘Moon man’ show

Lovers of art have a rare opportunity to see the work of George Fertig in an upcoming exhibition at Burnaby Art Gallery. The exhibition runs from June 1 to July 11, with an official opening reception on Saturday, June 12 at 1 p.m. A press release describes Fertig as “an artist’s artist whose rare oil paintings are esteemed by those who delight in the inner realities of life.”

Born in Alberta in 1915, he started out in photography at age 20 and started oil painting at age 24. He lived in Vancouver and Burnaby from 1941 until his death in 1983, and, through the 1950s and ‘60s, became known as the “Moon Man” when he painted large and powerful archetypal images. His later oils were small still lifes described as “meditations on eternity, unity and light.” His paintings now are found almost exclusively in private collections, so the chance to catch this exhibition – chronicling his work from the early days to the recent past – is notable. His daughter, Mona Fertig, will be on hand

at the gallery on Sunday, June 27 for a talk about her father. That’s set for 4:30 p.m. The gallery is open Tuesdays to Fridays from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 5 p.m. See www.burnabyart gallery.ca or call 604-2974422 for more.

When in Rome: Theatre Replacement bring to life the Deep South’s versions of world famous cities with a new play opening at the Shadbolt Centre.

Greatest city on earth? Andrew Fleming staff reporter

Think Burnaby is a great city to live in? If so, then Theatre Replacement wants to hear from you. The Vancouver troupe will be premiering a new play at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts next week and is asking local residents to be a part of it. They don’t mean just by buying tickets. Instead, the experimental theatre company wants to shoot video of Burnabyites talking about the city for an exhibit to be displayed in the gallery lobby. The informal interviews will be held May 29 from noon to 3 p.m., June 1 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. and June 2 at the opening of their new show, The Greatest Cities in the World.

Although not mandatory, entrants will be asked to complete the sentence “Burnaby is the greatest city in the world because…” and will earn the chance to score two free tickets to the play. The Greatest Cities in the World is based on artistic director James Long’s travels in Tennessee, which has the highest concentration anywhere of places named after world famous cities. Paris, Athens, Rome, Bogata, Moscow and London can all be found inside the southern state’s borders, although in the Deep South, the similarities generally end at the name. London, for example, sits in the middle of of a dirt road running through the Cherokee National Forest, Rome is little more than a handful of ancient houses, and the hick town of Paris, Tennessee is even smaller

than Paris, Ont. – although at least it has an 18-metre tall replica of the Eiffel Tower. Through a vast collection of interviews, photos and video collected in these small towns, The Greatest Cities in the World maps out what it means to be a citizen of our constantly shrinking world while making connections between geographically and culturally separate groups. Winner of the $60,000 Rio Tinto Alcan Performing Arts Award, The Greatest Cities in the World runs June 2 to 5 at the Studio Theatre in the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts (6450 Deer Lake Ave.) at 8 p.m. Tickets are $25 ($20 for students and seniors) and are available online at www.shadboltcentre.com or by calling 604-205-3000. afleming@burnabynow.com

t was 2000, and George Petropavlis was tired of hearing his friends tell him there was no place in South Burnaby or New Westminster where locals could gather and have a relaxing night at the bar. In other words, there was no “Cheers” like the bar that had been a television mainstay in the late-

’80s and early ’90s. Petropavlis had a prime location on Sixth Street, just south of Fourth Avenue, in New Westminster, but Venus Pizza was better known as a great pizza delivery place and not a gathering spot. And so was born the River’s Reach Pub. “George wanted to give the place a sense of history, and what’s more historic in New Westminster than the Fraser River,” said manager Peter Saran. “That’s how the pub got its name.” When the pub opened in 2000, it didn’t take long

for customers to gravitate to the central location and turn it into the “Cheers of New Westminster.” “We have a lot of teachers who come here, and that includes the high school (New Westminster Secondary) and Byrne Creek Secondary,” said Saran. “And we get a lot of business people who work in the uptown.” On the day I stopped in for a late afternoon lunch, the place was buzzing, even though a Canucks playoff game was still hours away from starting. “It’s an absolute zoo Taste Page 19

Taste: River’s Reach buzzing when the Canucks game is on,” said Saran. “It’s just mildly busy right now.” For my meal, I started with the tuna tacos (four for $9.45 and even cheaper on Wednesday nights when appetizers are halfprice from 3 to 8 p.m.). The seared tuna served on a flour tortilla with red pepper pesto and the tacos were simply divine. “I just added this to the menu, and it’s been our most popular dish,” said Saran. “It’s healthy, and it’s got a unique taste.” My dining companion went with the Royal City salad ($11.95), which is fresh mixed greens served with artisan goat cheese, dried cranberries, a honey raspberry dressing and, this is what makes it special, a large skewer of jumbo prawns. While my dining mate had to work through all the green stuff, I managed to capture some of those prawns on my plate. And just eating the prawns made the Royal City salad a winner for me (For the record, my dining cohort loved the salad, especially the goat cheese). For our main, we shared the Thai chicken rice bowl ($12.25), which featured sauteed chicken with apples, pineapple and a sweet and spicy Thai curry sauce, all served on a bed of rice. “This is an homage to my East Indian background,” said Saran. “I wanted to have some ethnic dishes on the menu and we came up with the idea of the rice bowls.” Chef Spiros Kantillas has the job of making all the dishes, and while he has input on the changes to the menu, Saran takes full responsibility for that job. “I always like to change things up, add a few new items that I’ve seen at other places,” said Saran. “It makes it interesting for

our regulars.” Even more interesting for the regulars is the upcoming 10th anniversary party, to be held on the evening of May 27. Unlike other parties, where only a few samples are free, Saran has a whole back room of appetizers and food items. “It’s the party of the year in New Westminster,” said Saran, quick to add everybody, Burnaby residents included, are invited. “We want to thank our customers for their patronage over the year so we have free appetizers and we keep refilling the food.” Add in the fact four beverage companies will have taster samples available, and you have the makings of the most fun night in the Lower Mainland. “I had a customer tell me once that on that day, we pretty much feed half the city,” said Saran. “If that’s the case, we just

have to make more food.” On a more sobering note, being across the street from the Salvation Army means Saran and his staff see a different side of life. “It’s heartbreaking to see homeless people lining up for food or clothes,” said Saran. “That’s why we try to help out in the community whenever we can.” Recent donations of an Alex Burrows hockey jersey for a silent auction fundraiser, sponsorship of the high school football team and a penny drive for the Salvation Army are all proof that the “cheers” at River’s Reach extend to applause for their charity efforts. River’s Reach is located at 320 Sixth St. in New Westminster. It’s open seven days a week from 11 a.m. For more information, go to www.riversreach. com. alau@burnabynow.com

Hearing aids turn heads Acoustica Hearing expands to North Shore

John and Reza Jahanashahi have many reasons to smile. After more than a decade selling hearing aids at Acoustica Hearing, they’re expanding the business and have now opened a North Shore location at 2432 Marine Dr. in Dundarave, West Vancouver. This, along with their flagship Burnaby location at 4564 Dawson St. and South Surrey/ White Rock location, the Jahanashahi brothers are offering same day service for hearing aid sales and repairs to customers throughout the Lower Mainland. “All of our custom hearing aids are made right here and all of our service is done right on site in our production laboratory,” said Reza. “Unlike other hearing aids that are made out east, our products are in stock and our staff is ready to help you right away. You can be tested and fitted with a new hearing aid the same day.” Now with three locations, Acoustica can provide hearing aids and repair hearing aids for many customers in the Lower Mainland. “We will test your hearing, we will help select the best hearing aid for you and we will fit your hearing aid, all in the same day,” said Reza. Reza said the advancements in hearing aids mean small behind-the-ear units are almost invisible. “The new units fit more naturally behind the ear and most people don’t even know they are wearing a hearing aid,” said Reza. “The new units don’t plug the ears.” Since opening its retail outlet in Burnaby in 2000, Acoustica Hearing has enjoyed business

y Factor Direct!

growth right from the outset by providing same day service. By producing its own custom hearing aid products, Acoustica has managed to dramatically reduce the costs of manufacturing and cut down waiting time, allowing the savings to be passed on to the consumer. “We make the shells and assemble the hearing aids right here,” said John. “We don’t have to send things out East.” When customers need repairs or service, Acoustica has its own technicians on site and in most cases; hearing aids can be repaired while customers wait. Acoustica is in partnership with one of the world’s leading makers of hearing instruments. Using the latest in technology to create all types of hearing aids - analog, programmable and digital - allows Acoustica to offer customers a wide selection of products in order to suit the customer’s needs. The ﬂagship Burnaby location is at 4564 Dawson St, one block south of Brentwood Town Centre, 604-294-1080. White Rock is located at 102A 15252 - 32 Ave, Surrey, 604-535-1080.

You live in Regina, your elderly mom lives in Victoria. Having a hard time taking care of her? You’re not alone. Statistics Canada estimates that almost one-quarter of the 1.65 million Canadians over the age of 45 who are providing care to a parent or in-law live over an hour away. Distance creates challenges for caregivers. Mom might tell you she’s fine, even when she’s not coping well. You’ll worry and feel guilty that you can’t spend more time with her. The situation may cause resentment with siblings who aren’t able to help. What to do? Holly Quinn, spokesperson for myNurse, a new service from Bayshore Home Health that offers people regular health management visits by a registered nurse, provides these suggestions:

• Identify friends or neighbours mom can call if she needs help. • Get someone to come in regularly to help with light housework, shopping or to keep mom company. • Arrange for meals-on-wheels to be delivered. • Hire a registered nurse to visit mom quarterly and conduct a physical assessment, a nutrition review and home fall risk assessment. • Take care of yourself—if you’re not coping, you won’t be much help to mom.

Managing your meds Every year, incorrect use of prescription drugs is the cause of one quarter of hospital admissions for the elderly and 23 per cent of all nursing home admissions. But keeping track of what drug to take at the right time can be challenging, especially for people with multiple prescriptions. “According to the Canada Safety Council the average Canadian over the age of 65 is taking nine medications daily,” says Holly Quinn, spokesperson for myNurse, a new service from Bayshore Home Health that offers people regular health management visits by a registered nurse. “Factor in additional health problems such as dementia, and it’s easy to understand why drug non-adherence is a serious health concern for the elderly.” Quinn offers the following tips: • Have a health professional review your medications, help you establish a schedule, and discuss possible side effects or interaction concerns.

• Always take your medication at the same time and in the manner prescribed. • Have your pharmacist organize your medications in a blister card. • Visit www.mynursehealthcheck.ca to download a handy chart to keep track of the medicines you’re taking. • Unless otherwise instructed, finish any prescription you receive—even if you’re feeling better. • If you have trouble opening the safety cap of your medication bottle, ask for a flip top lid.

Preventing fatal falls Kathleen was an active 85year old until she slipped in the bathtub, cracking several vertebrae and breaking her wrist. Kathleen’s situation is not uncommon. Falls are one of the greatest health risks for seniors. Every year, one out of every three seniors over the age of 65 will fall, and more than eight out of ten injuryrelated hospitalizations for seniors are a result of falls. “The good news is that most falls are predictable and preventable,” says Holly Quinn, spokesperson for myNurse, a new service from Bayshore Home Health that offers people regular health management visits by a registered nurse. Quinn suggests the following to help prevent falls: 1. Since most falls occur at home, especially in the kitchen, on the stairs or

in the bathroom, take some time to review any potential hazards. Make sure stairs are well-lit, eliminate throw rugs and use a non-skid bath mat. 2. Develop a safe program for staying active to help strengthen legs and improve flexibility and balance.

3. Wear slippers with nonskid soles and replace worn or ill-fitting footwear to prevent tripping. In case of a fall, have a plan to get help. Consider getting a personal alarm and keep a mobile or cordless phone available at all times. NC

Five simple tips to help seniors ‘right-size’ their life As people transition into old age, there’s often a series of difficult decisions to be made. Should they move to a smaller house or condo? Is it necessary to look at a retirement residence? Regardless of the decision a number of things can be done to make the next chapter of seniors’ lives easier and enjoyable. Downsizing, or right-sizing, can be an emotional process for the whole family: moving parents into a smaller space may mean sifting through a lifetime of memories, deciding what to keep and what to give away. Seniors involved often feel like their lives are slipping away with the family home. The experts at Henkel – makers of Purex®, Soft Scrub®, and Renuzit® -- have some suggestions may make the transition easier. 1. Create a positive atmosphere around the move. Host a moving party with family and friends. This will give the sense that a new and exciting chapter is starting in the parent/ family member’s life. 2. Break the move into steps. Do it a room at a time, easy ones first. Save the family heirlooms, pictures and other treasures until last. This will decrease the stress level and allow time to reminisce over the emotional items. 3. Consider having some of your items appraised and, if they are valuable, hold a live or online auction. 4. De-cluttering is only one part of the equation: thought must also be put into making the new living space convenient and functional for whoever is moving in. The new living space should reinforce the senior’s independent lifestyle while making sure the space is organized. It’s sometimes a good idea to hire an organizational expert to make the house as functional as possible. 5. While closets, shelving, the laundry room, etc. can all be organized and arranged by an expert, there are some simple things a family can do themselves

For Tours Call (604) 527-3323

to make everyday cleaning and household activities manageable for elderly loved ones. For example, two or three sets of dinnerware can be kept in easy to reach places while the rest are stored in cupboards. Another solution is Purex Complete 3-in-1 laundry sheets which contain a load’s worth of detergent, softener and anti-static all in one powerful sheet. When the sheet is dropped into water, the detergent is released into the wash cycle. Once the wash is complete, the laundry sheet can be

transferred along with clothes into the dryer. The sheet’s built-in, heatactivated stripe softens and removes static throughout the drying cycle. Instead of using multiple steps, liquids and dryer sheets to get laundry done there’s just one compact box. As the population of seniors increases, change doesn’t have to be seen as negative or upsetting – it can be exciting and enjoyable.

Eat Together

Handled with planning and organization, the next chapter of their lives can be stress free. NC

Youngsters put their feet in motion for charity Burnaby brothers taking part in World Partnership Walk Andrew Fleming staff reporter

There is an old saying that you have to learn to walk before you can run. Although Naheer Bharmal has only recently mastered the ability to walk, the almost two-year-old toddler is already helping to run a fundraising campaign for the less fortunate. Naheer, along with his threeyear-old brother, Ziyaan, and proud parents, Zeimina and Nazir Bharmal, will be heading to Stanley Park on May 30 as

part of the World Partnership Walk. The walk is Canada’s largest annual event dedicated to increasing awareness and funds to fight global poverty. If all goes according to plan, the two young boys will have helped put another $2,500 towards the cause. A recent United Nations report estimates that around three billion people live on less than $2 a day and six million children under the age of five die from malnutrition each year. Zeimina said her eldest son already has a sense of the difference between his own comfortable standard of living in Burnaby and that of many children in, say, his parents’ native lands in Central Africa.

“He knows,” said Zeimina over the phone while also juggling cooking duties. “We try to explain it to him, and he is getting a sense of how things are in other countries.” The two boys, both designated captains of their Burnaby Lake Tots and Tykes team, have already raised $1,600 after putting in some serious leg work and knocking on neighbourhood doors over the past few weeks. They may be small, but they’re hoping to raise big money, and their parents are confident it won’t be a problem reaching their target. “My wife and I realize the importance of contributing to people who are less fortunate and want to instil these values

in our sons at an early age,” said stay-at-home dad Nazir. “We want them to grow up appreciating the things we too often take for granted and understand that not everyone is given the same opportunities. We are trying to teach Ziyaan and Naheer to help those less fortunate, and the walk is the perfect avenue for this lesson.” An initiative of the Aga Khan Foundation Canada and the nondenominational charity’s vast network of volunteers, the walk attracts tens of thousands of Canadians united in an effort to bring hope and renewal to poor communities in Africa and Asia. All funds raised go directly to international development programs rather than administra-

tive fees. Now in its 26th year, the annual event is expected to involve up to 70,000 donors, sponsors and walkers, as well as some 900 corporate supporters (including the Burnaby NOW), in nine different cities. So far an estimated $50 million has been raised. Along with the five-kilometre loop around Brockton Point that begins at Lumberman’s Arch at 10 a.m., many family-friendly activities are available, including a warm-up by the Steve Nash Sports Club, live multicultural entertainment, multi-ethnic food, sports clinics, and more. To enter or to find out how to sponsor the boys, visit www. worldpartnershipwalk.com. afleming@burnabynow.com

The rookies are leading the way in this season’s edition of the senior A Burnaby Lakers. Trevor Moore, the eighth overall draft pick of the Lakers, scored his first four goals of the Western Lacrosse Association season in Burnaby’s 15-8 loss to the Coquitlam Adanacs at home Friday. The third-star nod for Moore, a 100-plus point scorer for Coquitlam in junior A last season, has been the norm for the rookie-laden Burnaby ball club this season. In the Lakers’ WLA opener a week ago, firstrounders Dane Stevens and Shaun Dhaliwal were the only Burnaby players to score in their senior debuts. Two days later, Stevens, the fourth overall pick in the 2010 draft, scored five times to earn the first star in an overtime win against the Maple Ridge Burrards. The trend is both exciting and troubling for the this year’s Lakers, who, although 1-2 to date, are still dawdling behind the rest of the pack with just 22 markers in their three games. Sixteen of the Lakers’ 22 goals to date have come off the sticks of either Stevens, Dhaliwal or Moore. Another three came by way of transition. The conclusion is more help is needed from the other front-liners. “It’s a different experience,” said Moore, who was named the inaugural Northeast field lacrosse conference player of the year for Robert Morris University this season. “I was fortunate to put up some good numbers (last season). I had good guys around me, and I have Lakers Page 31

Knights to seventh straight B.C. AA girls’ championships Tom Berridge sports editor

Leah Purdey scored the game-winning goal in a shootout to put St. Thomas More into the B.C. AA high school girls’ soccer championships for a seventh consecutive season. STM won the penalty shootout with a 4-2 score over the Windsor Dukes last Wednesday. The two teams played 85 minutes of scoreless soccer, including two periods of overtime before going to penalty kicks. Vanessa Campbell made two stops in the shootout to backstop the win for the Knights. “It’s just one of those teams that just battles and fights, scratches and claws,”

said STM head coach Carlo Zavarise, who led the Knights to their first provincial soccer title in 2008 in Richmond. The Knights have also finished second in 2006 and third in ’07 at the provincials. Last year, STM placed eighth overall. This season’s squad has been hit with the injury bug, but Zavarise says many of the hurt players may be ready to play by the time the tournament rolls around. This year’s provincial tournament is to be held in Kamloops June 3 to 5. “We have a lot of silver and gold players, but they just fight and stand up for each other,” Zavarise said. “The injuries have been amazing. The junior varsity Knights lost in the semifinals to Crofton House 3-2, also Wednesday.

Pink bat fundraiser to be annual event

In the pink:

Burnaby Buzzard pitcher Ward Gogol zings one in on a White Rock Legends hitter in 50-and-over league play at the recent Mother’s Day fundraiser at Robert Burnaby Park.

The Lower Mainland Baseball Association collected more than $6,500 in donations from its Mother’s Day fundraising weekend benefiting cancer research. All 16 league games featured pink wooden bats supplied by Merv Sandrel, owner of Ball Park Sports. The Canadian Cancer Society provided a website, banners and pledge forms, while the 500-plus association players collected the donations. Delta Community Television even telecast a game between the Burnaby Brewers and the South Delta Padres. The Padres wore a set of numbered pink jerseys donated by a mother of one of the South Delta players. “The Canadian Cancer Society was extremely pleased with the collective response from the LMBA, while players and teams were impresed enough to indicate that this would become an annual event,” said association commissioner Dan Taylor of Burnaby.

Clan win pool at NAIA women’s softball nationals

Simon Fraser University moved on to the championship double-elimination bracket at the NAIA national women’s softball championship. SFU outlasted fifth-seed Concordia University of Oregon 7-6 Monday in a marathon 12-inning match that allowed the Clan to clinch top spot in Pool C and continue its move into the playoff rounds. Carly Moir and Brittany Mayers of Burnaby were the offensive heroes. Moir had a run-scoring single in the 12th inning, while later in the inning Mayers brought home Burnaby’s Kelsey Haberl. Senior pitcher Jennifer Van Egdom earned the win, going six and two-third innings, including throwing three straight strikes to retire the final batter with the bases loaded. Earlier, Van Egdom extended her shutout streak to 10 innings at the small college nationals, following a 4-0 shutout over Nebraska’s Bellevue University Saturday. Van Egdom threw a

complete game two-hitter to lift the Clan to 2-0 in Pool C play. SFU scored three runs in the top of the fourth inning. Moir was once again the catalyst, connecting on a double to deep right field that scored Stefani Durrant. Mayers then cashed in Leah Riske with a sacrifice fly to right. Moir eventually scored when Haley Cicchetti crushed a double to deep right field. SFU added an insurance run in the seventh inning on a run-scoring Haberl single. The win came on the heels of a 2-0 victory over Lindsey Wilson College in SFU’s pool opener Thursday. Moir’s two-run dinger on a 2-2 pitch in the bottom of the second inning proved the difference. The Clan registered just two hits, while leaving three runners on base. Van Egdom and freshman Cara Lukawesky, with her first career save, teamed up for the win.

Burnaby travels to Nanaimo on Friday for a return match against the Timbermen. The Lakers won the first meeting 10-8. The junior Lakers will not play at home this Sunday because of high school graduation ceremonies at the Copeland centre. They will be back at home on June 6 against the Port Coquitlam Saints.

good guys around me here.” Mike Brascia broke the ice for the home side, scoring on a two-on-one break to make the score 2-1 Coquitlam in the first period. Burnaby fell further behind 5-1 before Dhaliwal took a faceoff ball to the net for his third goal in as many games. Moore followed with his first of three power-play goals in the game. But the Lakers were kept largely to the perimeter by the A’s defence despite outshooting their guests 45-43 overall. “Sometimes it felt like there was a little lack of effort. But we’re young, and we have to learn to play through a little adversity,” Moore said. “Once we get some chemistry, we’ll get a little bit more success.” Burnaby’s usually stout defence had few answers for Coquitlam’s left side. Dane Dobbie and Jason Jones scored five and four goals between them, while second star Cory Conway led all scorers

with eight points, including a hat trick. Interested fans are still watching intently to see if veteran Laker leader Cam Sedgwick will make an appearance after helping the Washington Stealth win a franchise-first National Lacrosse League title last week. Sedgwick’s presence in the Laker lineup would go a long way in giving the struggling offence form and function. But for now anyway, it’s been time for the rookies to rise up and shine, and Moore is happy to oblige. “It gives a lot of kids out of junior a chance to crack a spot,” Moore said, downplaying the existing junior A rivalry between Coquitlam and Burnaby. “For me, that was junior. This is a new league here. I’m happy (Burnaby) gave me an opportunity to play.” The senior A Lakers travel to Victoria this Friday for a matchup against the Shamrocks, while the Copeland centre welcomes Burnaby school district graduation ceremonies.

NCAA FIELD LACROSSE

Teams fall in second-round game at nats A standing-room-only crowd of more than 10,000 fans watched their Stony Brook Seawolves give No. 1 University of Virginia all it could handle in NCAA Division I field lacrosse Saturday. Stony Brook, behind a two-goal performance from America East player of the year Kevin Crowley, lost 10-9 to the favoured Virginia Cavaliers in the second round of the NCAA national championships Sunday. With his two goals, Crowley, the No. 1 draft pick of the Western Lacrosse Association Burnaby Lakers, set a new school record of 51 goals in a single season. Stony Brook teammate Kyle Belton also scored a pair of goals for the eighthranked Seawolves. Crowley helped Stony Brook get on the board, setting up teammate Jared LeVerne in transition to tie the score 1-1 early in the game. But Virginia answered with four straight counters to take a four-goal advantage. However, the Seawolves fought back and drew even at 5-5 in the third quarter, when Crowley took a pass from junior teammate Jordan McBride and scored from directly out in front. Crowley scored his second of the game in the final

Hershey earn fourth trip in five seasons to Calder Cup Karl Alzner of Burnaby is off to a second straight Calder Cup final with the Hershey Bears. The fifth overall draft pick of the

Washington Capitals in 2007 helped Hershey to a 4-2 series win over the Manchester Monarchs, following a 3-2 victory in the Eastern Conference

final Saturday. The Bears will play the winner of series between the Texas Stars and the Hamilton Bulldogs.

quarter, tying the contest at 8-8 before Virginia again answered with a back-toback markers in the final five minutes of play. “I’m so proud of these guys,” said Seawolves head coach Rick Sowell in a school press release. “We had a goal a year ago and accomplished that and then some. I was confident that our guys would show up and play, and they did that. This was one heck of a journey.”

Pair score two

Riley Loewen of Burnaby scored two goals for Limestone College in an 11-7 loss to No. 3-ranked Le Moyne in the semifinals of the NCAA Division II national field lacrosse championships Saturday. Loewen, a freshman attacker, opened the scoring for the fifth-ranked Saints. He also had a second first-half marker. Junior A Burnaby teammate Jackson Decker also potted a pair of goals in the game for Limestone. Both Loewen and Decker are expected back in the junior A Lakers lineup for this week’s box lacrosse game against Nanaimo. Limestone finished the season with a 12-2. Its only two losses this season were to Le Moyne, which will face C.W. Post in the national final on May 30.

Rugby team falls short Canada’s under-20 national men’s rugby team fell 1715 to Russia in a second-round match at the Junior World Rugby Trophy championships in Moscow Saturday. Canada, with starting front row forward Admir Cejanovic of Burnaby in the lineup, scored in injury time, but the ensuing conversion to draw level drifted wide of the posts at Slava Stadium.

The Vein and Laser Clinic was established in 1992 and since then thousands of patients, have been treated at its central Lonsdale location in North Vancouver. The facility introduced several innovative techniques in British Columbia and it was the ﬁrst in the province to offer ultrasound-guided sclerotherapy and ambulatory phlebectomy several years ago.The clinic is unique in that it makes extensive use of advanced color doppler and duplex ultrasound, to detect all the diseased vein segments and accurately pinpoint the source of the varicose veins.The technology thus enables delivery of a sclerosing solution into deeper lying vessels with precision that would be very difﬁcult to achieve with conventional techniques. All this makes the treatment safer and more effective with excellent functional and cosmetic results.
