Her first day will be a long day First round of five-year-olds heads to full-day kindergarten Niki Hope
staff reporter
Five-year-old Tara Kato’s trek to kindergarten this fall won’t just be a personal milestone, it’s also a landmark year for public education in this province. The Stride Avenue schoolgirl will be among the first class of the Education Ministry’s phased-in shift toward providing full-day kindergarten for five-yearolds. This year only some schools will offer the program, but by the fall of 2011 every school in the province will have full-day kindergarten. This isn’t the Burnaby school district’s first foray into full-day kindergarten. The district ran a full-day kindergarten pilot program at Maywood and Morley elementary schools. Response from parents and teachers to that program has been favourable, Burnaby superintendent Claudio Morelli said. “I think there was a transition period at the beginning,” he said. “It’s a long day for five-year-olds at the beginning, but as they become immersed in the program, they become much more comfortable.” Interest in full-day kindergarten has been strong, but it hasn’t come at the expense of half-day kindergarten, Morelli said. “The implementation of full-day kindergarten doesn’t appear to be at the detriment of the half-day schools. Some parents are still choosing half day,” he said. The Education Ministry will pay for up to 887 Burnaby kids to attend full-day kindergarten this year. Of the 41 elementary schools in Burnaby, 24 will run the new provincially mandated program. The schools are: Brantford, Cameron, Capitol Hill, Cascade Heights, ChaffeyBurke, Douglas Road, Edmonds, Forest Grove, Gilmore, Glenwood, Inman,

Kitchener, Lochdale, Maywood, Morley, Rosser, Second Street, South Slope, Stride Avenue, Suncrest, Twelfth Avenue, University Highlands, Westridge and Windsor. The district cherry-picked those schools for the first round of the government’s bid to phase in all-day kindergarten because
they have enough space. To make room for full-day kindergarten at every school in 2011, the province will provide funding for five new modular buildings – similar to portables – at Brentwood Park, Lakeview, Montecito and Sperling elementary schools and an addition will be built at Taylor Park Elementary.
Skunks: ‘Bum rap is unfair’ continued from page 1
plenty of advance warning before spraying, including hissing and stamping their paws. “For sure, skunks have an image problem, but the bum rap they get is unfair,” said Sheldon. “Skunks are actually pretty useful creatures to have around. Their natural diet includes slugs, wasps, bees, crickets, grasshoppers, worms, grubs and larvae, so they are perfect natural pest controllers.”
The association receives up to 100 skunks a year – almost all with injuries caused by humans. Over the last 18 months, workers have treated skunks for a range of issues, including being hit by cars and shot with pellet guns. She said homeowners shouldn’t worry unnecessarily about the threat posed by the malodorous creatures. A skunk family – a mother and six kits – even set up home alongside the animal rescue

After being left undisturbed for several weeks, the skunks moved on without causing a stink. “We didn’t even know they were there until a colleague working late saw them come out one night,” she said. “We left them alone and they weren’t a problem at all. If we can just take a few appropriate measures we can live in harmony with skunks.” Zellers Visions* Home Outfitters* Shoppers* The Bay* Rona* Staples* * not in all areas
In all, Burnaby will see a net increase of 13 new classrooms to make room for full-day kindergarten.

HUMAN REMAINS FOUND IN SOUTH BURNABY HOME Alfie Lau
staff reporter
Human remains were discovered Friday afternoon in a South Burnaby house that was being demolished in preparation for redevelopment. The Burnaby RCMP serious crime unit, along with forensic identification services and the B.C. Coroner Service, was called to the scene after the remains were found at about 5:30 p.m. Last week’s question Do you think the Burnaby RCMP needs a new facility? YES 66% NO 34% This week’s question Do you think full-day kindergarten is a good idea? Vote at: www.burnabynow.com
After an initial assessment, the investigators concluded the remains were human and transported them to hospital for further examination. The Burnaby RCMP are conducting an investigation at the nowdemolished house to determine the cause of death, but according to the press release announcing the discovery, they will issue no further comment until later this week. There was no indication of how long ago the death occurred.

Bedbugs: Tenants and landlords in bug fight continued from page 1
“I look out and then I see somebody taking the carpet from the garbage back in. … I told them not to take it back in, but they don’t listen to me.” Satic didn’t speak to Correia’s specific allegations, but she said that bedbugs and pharaoh ants aren’t a problem for her and she’s been the live-in manager for the past seven years. “I take care of myself, I don’t take anything from the garbage, and I’ve had no problems at all, no bugs, no ants,” she said. “I’ve tried my best to do the right things, but what can I do when people go and take the old carpeting from the garbage?”
Correia said many of her new immigrant neighbours can’t speak English, and that language barrier may be part of the problem when they speak to Satic. “I’ve seen one family move out already, and there are others who want to move, but they’ve just come to Canada so it’s hard enough for them already,” said Correia. Another tenant, Razm Afarin Abdul Raqib, said he’s been living in a three-bedroom unit since the end of 2006. Abdul Raqib said the bedbug problem flared up three months ago and Satic has ignored multiple requests for pest control work to be done on his apartment.
PAY NO HST*
Abdul Raqib said he has thought about moving, but he can’t find a three-bedroom unit at a similar rent. “We have to live here,” he said. For herself, Correia can’t afford to move because she is still recovering from some physical issues and she’s almost finished a two-year child and youth care college program. “I know it’s an old building but I shouldn’t have to live with these bedbugs and ants,” she said. “I also know I don’t want to deal with the Residential Tenancy Branch because every time I’ve dealt with them, it’s been time-consuming and nothing got done,” she said. “I don’t know what to do.” alau@burnabynow.com

Feeling itchy? Check these bug tips ◆ Hire a good pest control company; don’t try to do it yourself. According to experts, bedbugs are the most difficult pest to treat, ahead of ants, termites and even cockroaches. ◆ When throwing out furniture, make sure it’s wrapped and disposed of properly. Don’t leave it outside for someone else to take. ◆ Wash all clothing and bedding in hot water, followed by at least 20 minutes in the dryer, as heat kills all bedbugs.

◆ Don’t assume bedbugs are only in your bed. While bed frames and mattresses are the most likely location for bed bugs, they can and do often hide out in sofas and other soft furniture, electrical sockets, light fixtures, baseboards and floor crevices. ◆ Don’t believe that bed bugs only bite at night. They prefer a sleeping, stationary host who is fast asleep. But if they’re hungry, they’ll take what they can get. You can be bitten while in a chair, awake.

Adults are about the size of an apple seed, and the youngest nymphs can be the size of a speck of dirt. The unfed nymphs are light-colored, while a bedbug that has fed will be red, rust or brown in color. ◆ Bedbugs feed at night and leave their victims with seemingly inexplicable itchy, red welts.

McBarge could find new life in Mission Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter
Floating forlornly in Burnaby waters, McDonald’s Friendship 500 has been attracting some attention lately. The former Expo ‘86 floating restaurant, better known as the McBarge, has a strong Facebook following and the support of Gastown developer Howard Meakin, who is the current owner. McBarge could see new life as part of a development on Mission’s waterfront if the district’s council passes a motion to approve the development on Sept. 7. The floating restaurant would become part of Sturgeon’s on the Fraser, a waterfront dining establishment with a floating deck and access for venture and ecotours, fishing guides and a floatplane terminal. “The goal is to make it the number 1 dining destination in the Fraser Valley,” Meakin said. Meakin is a good candidate for the job. He was one of the developers behind Gastown’s revitalization in the ‘70s. He has put forward an application for rezoning the water lot in Mission. If it passes third reading, the project will begin, he said. “The plan is to prepare the uplands for parking,” Meakin said. He estimates that it will
cost $5 million to revamp the McBarge but says it is structurally sound. The total cost for the project is estimated at $10 million. “The hull is concrete, and it has a steel superstructure,” he explained, saying the barge had a life expectancy until 2085 when it was built. He hopes to have Sturgeon’s up and running in a year, he added. It will be a mixed-use development similar to the Flying Beaver Bar and Grill in Richmond, Meakin said. Tour buses will be able to stop, tourists can have lunch and take a riverboat cruise, he said. The response from the people of Mission has been positive, he added. “It has been fabulous,” Meakin said. “It’s been very well received by the people of Mission.” The project is also popular on Facebook, where the group, Sturgeon’s on the Fraser, Mission, BC had 429 members as of Monday, Aug. 23. Adam Lewis, the man who started the group – formerly named Save the McBarge – did not expect to be involved with a development project in Mission when he did. He discovered the Friendship 500 while driving around with friends, killing time before a concert, he said.

“We drove down this big hill and found the McBarge,” Lewis said, adding that he recognized it even though he was only two years old in ’86. He created the group to get some discussion going about what could be done with the Expo relic. “I was intrigued by the design and the potential,” McBarge Page 8

Hope floats: The old McBarge from Expo ’86 is still floating in Burrard Inlet – but it may not be for much longer, if plans for a new project in Mission are approved.
Choosing the Perfect Window Covering So many types, so many challenges Window Covering Styles
The challenge with choosing the perfect window covering is to balance fashion and function to meet privacy, security, light control and energy efficiency needs. You also need to consider each window’s directional exposure in order to determine which style of window covering will best suit each room in your home. The perfect window covering can improve the security of your home, decrease damage to valuable furnishings from incoming UV rays, and lower your energy costs.
There are two styles of window treatments available, commonly referred to as hard and soft styles. Hard window styles include shutters, shades and blinds made of metal, vinyl or wood. Some hard window coverings have the addition of sheer fabrics to combine the benefits of both styles. Hard window styles are appreciated for their simple, streamlined look and the ability to effectively control light and provide maximum privacy.
Window coverings can do more than add a beautiful decorating element to a room. They can also solve many issues to add comfort to your home, such as:
Soft window styles include drapes, roman shades and sheers. These use fabrics that enrich windows and rooms with colour, pattern and texture. They can carry out a room’s decorative theme and even stand on their own as a room’s focal point. Soft styles can be combined with specialty linings to make them very effective at blocking incoming light, preventing drafts and reducing outside noise.
• Saving you money by increasing the insulating r-value of the window — stay cooler in summer and warmer in winter • Protecting your furnishings from harmful UV rays, preventing fading and colour alteration to carpets, hardwood floors, etc.
Directional Exposure Considerations
• Filtering incoming light to remove glare on electronics
• Increasing daytime privacy while allowing you to maintain your outdoor view

East-facing windows admit warm and bright light, especially in the morning. Options for window coverings for this exposure include materials that diffuse light, such as sheers, woven blinds, or shutters. West-facing windows are exposed to the hottest light of the day, especially during the summer months. Prolonged exposure to this strong light can be damaging to valuable furniture, flooring, fabrics and artwork. Options for window coverings for this exposure include a combination of lightdiffusing sheers or blinds, combined with a blackout or thermal drape to help control light and heat. By Karen Blunderfield, Chief Decorator for Arlene’s Interiors
North-facing windows bring in the most even and consistent light but also the coolest. Options for window treatments for this exposure include energy-efficient styles such as thermal-lined drapes or roman shades, or honeycomb-style thermal blinds.

South-facing windows are the most important natural light source in any building because they receive sunlight yearround and cast a warm, golden glow. Options for window coverings for this exposure should include sheer fabrics to diffuse the intensity of the sun, protecting your valuable furnishings while still offering a soft-focus view of the outdoors.

When he returned to court last week to face a fifth charge of sexual interference, he was not asked to pay any more. Let’s get this straight: a person accused of five counts of sexual interference and one count of criminal harassment is asked to pay only $1,400 in bail? That hardly seems like enough considering the serious nature of the charges.
The only reason we’re learning of the details of Plehanov’s bail is because the Crown wants him to forfeit the first payment of $400 for breaching the conditions of his release. So what is the point of bail anyway? If it’s to keep accused criminals on the straight and narrow while they await trial, shouldn’t the amounts be set higher for serious charges? A total of $1,400 for charges of sex crimes against children? Only in the court’s world would that amount be high enough.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Think carefully about RCMP
Dear Editor:
Re: Burnaby RCMP are ‘running out of space,’ Burnaby NOW, Aug. 18. Kudos to Coun. Nick Volkow in having reservations concerning the renewal of the RCMP contract with Burnaby in 2012. RCMP Chief Supt. Rick Taylor’s request for a new building to house Burnaby’s police force comes at a time when serious thought is being given to replacing Burnaby’s RCMP detachment with a municipal police force, similar to our neighbouring cities of Vancouver and New Westminster. Over the past several years, nationwide, the reputation of the RCMP has been sullied with a number

of deficiencies, principal among them being the horrendous Pickton fiasco and the Robert Dziekanski disaster at the airport. Granted the Pickton and Dziekanski matters cannot directly be ascribed to the Burnaby RCMP detachment; however, the type of training that RCMP recruits receive has been described as ‘paramilitary’ and not conducive to neighbourhood policing. An excellent expose of the RCMP training procedures, and other practices were revealed in an article approximately one year ago in the Vancouver Sun. Since that time, the Sun has reported on several RCMP deficiencies, namely gender discrimination against female officers and generally low morale on the part of a large percentage of RCMP members,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR RCMP have had problems continued from page 6
due to harassment by their supervisors. From the perspective of a Burnaby resident, I find it to be high on the debit side when RCMP members, unlike municipal police officers, are subject to transfers to other jurisdictions. Such a procedure lacks cohesiveness. This procedure was considered to be one of the major stumbling blocks in the Pickton case – outlined by the Vancouver Police Department’s deputy chief in his summary of the infamous Pickton case. In regard to the upcoming RCMP contract versus opting for a municipal police force, I sincerely hope that Burnaby’s council members weigh the pros and cons with a very fine tooth comb.

MLA has a choice to make Dear Editor:
B.C. Liberal MLA, Richard T. Lee, has given democracy a poke-in-the-eye by publicly declaring his decision on the HST will override the wishes of his over 10,000 constituents who voted in favour of the HST. By uttering such a comment, he makes a farce of democracy. His position on the HST has tainted him, and the five other B.C. Liberal members on the Select Standing Committee on Legislative Initiatives. Now he has one of three choices to make before May 14, 2013:

Animals deserve help Dear Editor:
The kittens and mother cat who were abandoned in a box in the middle of the road – apparently because the person who dumped them couldn’t pay the Burnaby SPCA’s surrender fee – perfectly illustrate why charging surrender fees at animal shelters puts animals in danger (Kittens dumped on road with note: ‘We are really sorry,’ Burnaby NOW, Aug. 7). Not everyone can or will pay to drop off unwanted animals, and the animals often end up paying the ultimate price. PETA routinely hears about cats and dogs being abandoned to “fend for themselves” and even purposely run over in a shelter’s parking lot after shelters refused to accept them. The purpose of animal shelters is to provide a safe haven to unwanted, lost and abused animals. They owe it to animals to accept every cat and dog in need with open arms, even if that means taking a monetary loss or making hard decisions about euthanasia. Making it more difficult for people to do the right thing only invites tragedy. To learn more, visit www.helpinganimals. com.

Add it all up, and it makes for a very high mountain for recall proponents to scale. Nevertheless, having underestimated the popularity of the anti-HST petition, I’m reluctant to state unequivocally that any attempt at recall is doomed to failure. There clearly is widespread anger and frustration among a lot of voters right now, and much of it is, not surprisingly, directed at the B.C. Liberal government. The two anti-HST campaigners, Bill Vander Zalm and Chris Delaney, have sent out mixed mes-
sages about when they would begin recall campaigns and how many MLAs will be targeted. Sometimes, they have said they’ll start in November, and at other times they’ve said they’d wait until spring. They’re still hoping the B.C. Liberal government will scrap the HST, but I wouldn’t bet on it. The all-party legislative committee now dealing with the anti-HST petition may very well submit the law to repeal the tax to the legislature, but hardly anyone expects it to be passed into law. So expect some recall campaigns to begin in earnest at some point. And some of them may defy the odds and actually succeed. Aside from Donna Barnett, the Liberal MLAs seemingly most vulner-
able to a recall campaign appear to be John Slater in Boundary-Similkameen (where another 2,784 people would have to sign a recall petition) and Bill Bennett in Kootenay East (3,961 names short). Keep in mind that for all the publicity and attention paid to the antiHST petition, and for all the apparent depth of the government’s unpopularity, more than three-quarters of the electorate never even bothered to sign the petition. Getting a huge chunk of them to sign a different kind of petition may prove to be a hard sell. But you never know these days – particularly when the born-again, indefatigable Vander Zalm is running the show! Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

HST petition heads to legislative committee Alfie Lau
staff reporter
It took less than a week for the next stage of the HST fight to play out in B.C. Supreme Court. Chief Justice Robert Bauman ruled on Aug. 20 that the anti-HST petition and its accompanying law extinguishing the act are legal. On the heels of that decision, Elections B.C.’s Craig James then forwarded the petition, which he certified two weeks ago, to a legislative standing committee, on Monday. That committee, which has appointees from both parties, has never formally met. The Liberal MLAs on the committee are Burnaby North’s Richard Lee, Kamloops-North Thompson’s Terry Lake, Vernon-Monashee’s Eric Foster, Surrey-Tynehead’s Dave Hayer, Peace River North’s Pat Pimm and BoundarySimilkameen’s John Slater. The four NDP MLAs on the committee are Mike Farnworth (Port Coquitlam), Katrine Conroy (Kootenay West), Rob
Fleming (Victoria-Swan Lake) and Jenny Kwan (Vancouver-Mount Pleasant). The group now has 30 days to meet and 90 days thereafter to make a recommendation. The committee can recommend that the issue go to the legislature for debate or go to a non-binding referendum that wouldn’t occur until September 2011 at the earliest. James had delayed sending the petition to the committee as he waited for the court case to play out in B.C. Supreme Court. In a 13-page ruling, Bauman dismissed the arguments raised by the coalition of industry and business groups that included the Council of Forest Industries, the Mining Association of B.C., the Independent Contractors and Businesses Association, the Western Convenience Stores Association, the Coast Forest Products Association and the B.C. Chamber of Commerce. The groups had argued that because the HST was imposed by Parliament, it could not be overturned by a B.C. court. Local reaction to the decision was swift.

Old Edmonds gas station site gets a facelift Provincial grant will help owner test and clean up property Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter
A former gas station site in Edmonds is up for a facelift after the provincial government granted the owner $83,347 to test and clean up the area. Kamcon Construction owns the brownfield site, at 7320 Canada Way. Kamcon received the funding for the remediation of the site, which has been unused for more than 20 years, through the brownfield renewal funding program. Kamcon’s president Kamran Tafreshi was told that the land was the site of a service station from approximately 1970 to 1988. “This would have resulted in the concerns over possible contamination,” he said in an e-mail. Testing has been done in the past but more is needed, he added. “Over the years, I believe the previous owner(s) did some investigations; however, it seems that the required studies and/or remediation required by today’s standards were not completed,” Tafreshi said, adding the tests are necessary prior to development
of the land. Kamcon bought the property in December 2009 and intends to start the investigation and remediation process in September, he said. The company is working with environmental consultants on the project, Tafreshi added. After the testing is complete, Tafreshi plans to work with the City of Burnaby to develop a plan for the site. “We believe the site has a high potential for redevelopment and is ideally located for a mixed-use development,” he said. The company currently does not have any permit applications before the city, in advance of the testing, city planner Robert Renger said. The property is the only listed brownfield site in Burnaby, according to Patrick Vert, public affairs officer for the Ministry of Agriculture and Lands. “Burnaby has been experiencing a lot of positive growth and renewal over the past decade,” said Burnaby North MLA Richard Lee in a press release. “This funding is one more step in building a better community.” The provincial government has put forward $800,000 through the brownfield renewal funding program, part of the brownfield renewal strategy introduced in 2007, to encourage remediation

of brownfield sites, according to the press release. According to the B.C. government, brownfields are defined as abandoned, vacant, derelict, or under-utilized commercial and
industrial properties, where past actions may have cause possible contamination. The province’s third intake for the program took place this spring.
Last year the program approved 17 projects, and more than $1.6 million in funding, the press release said. www.twitter.com/janayafe

Crown wants teacher to forfeit bail deposit Jennifer McFee
staff reporter
Pixie McGeachie’s memorial has been set for Aug. 30 at the Burnaby Village Museum, according to granddaughter Sarah Murray. The memorial is slated to take place at the tram exhibition at 11 a.m., with refreshments at the ice cream parlour to follow. In lieu of flowers, the family is asking for donations to be made to the museum or the Burnaby Historical Society. McGeachie, passed away on Aug. 14 from heart failure. She leaves behind a wealth of friends and family, including two children – Kathi Dunlop and David McGeachie – four grandchildren, and seven great grandchildren. The grandchildren are Joan McGeachie, Sarah Murray, Craig McGeachie and Jennifer Wood. McGeachie’s great-grandchildren – from oldest to youngest – are Landon, Savannah, Heather, Dawson, Laura, Conner and Summer. The historian was 88 years old and had been suffering from ill health over the past year. She took a turn for the worse over the
past few months due to a bout of pneumonia, according to daughter Kathi Dunlop. “She was still joking till the end,” Dunlop said. Dunlop, who now lives in Roberts Creek, was at McGeachie’s home with her daughter Joan making arrangements. It is the same home Dunlop was raised in, built by McGeachie and her husband Jack in 1947. “She was the best mother in the world,” Dunlop said when asked to describe McGeachie. McGeachie is well known to Burnaby residents as the woman who preserved the city’s history.Jim Wolf, heritage planner for the city, called McGeachie “one of Burnaby’s great community leaders.” She researched the history of Burnaby and collected artifacts and stories out of a passion for this city, he said. “Really, it was out of just a great big heart and a love of her community,” Wolf said. “Just for the love of the place.” McGeachie wrote five books on the history of Burnaby, including her first, Bygones of Burnaby – An Anecdotal History, which contains the stories of Burnaby’s last living pioneers.

TASTE Tips for making the best pasta possible ON COOKING
A
Chef Dez
staple in almost every home’s pantry is spaghetti or some form of pasta that makes its way to the dinner table on a regular basis. Many of us take the time to focus on building the flavour and complexity of the accompanying sauce for our pasta of choice; however, the pasta itself needs attention as well. Many food columns could be dedicated to achieving palate-pleasing goals in pasta sauces, but let us not forget about the substance of these dishes – the pasta noodle.
Thus, this column will be focused on unravelling some myths and procedures in what seems to be one of the simplest tasks in the kitchen – boiling water and cooking pasta. The first thing to examine is the dry pasta noodle and the transformation that takes place during the cooking process. The most obvious observation is that cooked pasta is larger in volume and flexible, compared to dry raw pasta. What makes this possible is the absorption of water during the boiling process. The cooking process of any food, no matter how simple it seems, needs to be analyzed because this is our chance of infusing flavour into the ingredients being cooked. Everyone has heard of the process of salting water when boiling pasta, but few know or realize
the reason why. Some believe it is to help the pasta from sticking or to help keep the water from boiling over; however the reason is to season the pasta and to increase the flavour. Pasta on its own is very bland, and combining bland cooked pasta with a sauce that you have perfected will be a detriment to your finished dish. If the pasta water is salted liberally, then the pasta will be absorbing saltwater, instead of just water, and thus your pasta dish will be seasoned from the inside out. Another no-no is to add oil to your pasta water. This idea probably first came about to prevent the pasta noodles from sticking together; however, it will affect your finished dish negatively. Oiled pasta water will help to

Pasta: Tips for making noodles taste their best continued from page 11
keep your pasta from sticking together when cooking, but a film of oil will always be left on the drained noodles. This thin film of oil will inhibit the starchiness of the cooked pasta and then in turn lead to the accompanying sauce to not stick to or absorb into the noodles as much. When pasta is eaten, you want the starchiness of the pasta to hold onto the sauce as much as possible, so that the dish will be able to be enjoyed to the fullest. That being said, drained cooked pasta should not be oiled for the same reason. A better way to help prevent your pasta noodles from sticking together during the cooking process is to stir the noodles constantly for the first two minutes of cooking time. By that point, the water will have returned to its full-boil action and the agitation of the bubbling water will keep the pasta moving and prevent it from sticking. Once the pasta has been drained, do not rinse it. Rinsing will cool the pasta down and also wash away some of the starchiness that we want to help secure the sauce to the noodles. Homemade “spaghetti” is a very common dish in many households, and whether you use spaghetti, linguine, or other types of noodles, I hope these few
simple recommendations help to make your meal more enjoyable and flavourful. ◆ Dear Chef Dez: What is the best way to tell when pasta is cooked? Norma L., Maple Ridge Dear Norma: There are many ways that people use to determine that pasta is cooked to perfection – including the old wives’ tale about throwing it against the wall, and if it sticks, it’s done. The best way is to let your mouth do the talking. Carefully remove a strand or piece of pasta from the boiling water. After waiting a few seconds to cool down, take a bite. It should feel “al dente,” meaning “to the tooth” in Italian. This relates to the feeling that the pasta should not be overcooked and offer some resistance when biting into it. It should not be hard, but it should not be too soft and mushy either. The package of the pasta you purchase will always offer a guideline cooking time, but your bite will always give you the right answer. Send your food/cooking questions to dez@chefdez.com or P.O.

SECTION COORDINATOR Jennifer Moreau, 604-444-3021 jmoreau@burnabynow.com
Clockmaker has time on his hands Next time you pass the chiming steam clock in Gastown, you can thank Raymond Saunders. The Burnaby resident has built steam clocks that have become popular landmarks and tourist attractions all over the globe. His Gastown steam clock is said to be the most photographed attraction in Vancouver. Saunders spoke with NOW reporter Jennifer Moreau about the dying art of creating public clocks. Can you tell us a bit about yourself? I was born in Vancouver and moved to Burnaby 10 years ago. That’s where I settled into fixing antique clocks in the garage and also designing and building public clocks. I had a shop in Gastown for 25 years, right next to my steam clock. I designed and built the steam clock in Gastown, my very first public clock, built in 1977. I’ve done six more since then. … I’m the world’s only steam clock builder that specializes in steam clocks. The one in Gastown was the first one in the world. How did you get interested in steam clocks? The (Vancouver) city planning department called me to ask if I could build one, to cover a central heat steam vent on the sidewalk. They asked me to make something to cover the vent. … I was too stupid to know it couldn’t be done. We guessed it would cost $25,000, and it ended up costing $58,000. What drew you in? It was an opportunity to build something for the citizens in Vancouver. It was a labour of love, that’s for sure. I ended up $23,000 in the red when I finished the clock. An anonymous donor came in and paid the rest. I never knew who he was. You also fix antique clocks, too. That’s sort of my retirement passion to do antique clock restoration. I’ve been doing that for the last 40 years. I specialize in higher-end antiques for collectors. I do clocks for anybody who contacts me, … collectors that are serious collectors. What’s the fascination with clocks about? It was a hobby in high school. I worked for Woodward’s as a watchmaker for 10 years when I left high school. What are you working on
now? I’m working on the world’s most complicated steam clock for a place in Australia called Scenic World in Katoomba. (There’s) a big fancy tourist attraction there, with gondolas going up the mountain. I’m making a steam clock. … It has 13 whistles and plays Waltzing Matilda.
Father time:
Above, Ray Saunders holds a reproduction pub clock, next to an 1850s French table clock. At left, Saunders with an original Roman dial casting for the Gastown steam clock.
Is this a dying art? There’s no one else. Clocks and steam don’t mix. No one has really thought of doing it before. There are actually 12 steam clocks in the world right now. … I’ve built seven of the 12. No one else had built one before I had built one. Most people think that clock (in Gastown) has been there 100 years because it was made to look Edwardian. They’re quite uncommon. Do you have plans for your next project? I’m building a two-sided street clock – a post clock, like on Main (Street and Seventh Avenue in Vancouver). I just finished doing the Birks clock. It was a major project, (restoring) a 100-year-old clock. It took me two years to do that one. Are there any special skills a

lots of patience and “stickability” – sticking to the job, not giving up. Is there anything else you would like our readers to know? There’s no one following in my footsteps, … no one seems to want to do public clocks. Even
my son is a watchmaker, but he doesn’t want to do public clocks. It’s a shame there’s no one to pass the torch to. It’s one of those trades. It is a dying trade because everything is electronic. For more information, e-mail Saunders at timeworks@telus.net.

Back Pain and Sciatica can be excruciating Lower back pain that travels down one buttock and leg is called sciatica. It often begins suddenly, soon after an awkward, twisting movement or heavy lifting. The pain can become excruciating and moving around or sitting down becomes very difficult. Bending over, coughing or sneezing aggravates the pain. If numbness occurs or muscle coordination is affected, the problem is serious and needs immediate attention. In older people, a slightly different type of sciatica is more common. The onset is slower and the pain more constant and nagging. Sciatica is an irritation or inflammation of the sciatic nerve, usually resulting from muscle strain or spasm, or a slipped disk, which can cause serious problems. The most common cause is improper lifting of heavy boxes, especially if

Tips and tricks: Think positively about aging Aging is a natural part of life that begins the minute we are born. Early in life, aging is considered positive and we call it “growing,” but later on, we tend to look at it more negatively. Internationally recognized author and boomer expert PJ Wade believes that one way to improve our overall well-being is to change the way we think about aging. “The truth is that we are living longer than ever before and there is no reason to adopt a pessimistic attitude towards aging,” says PJ Wade. “While the reality is that we do experience changes over time, it’s important to keep doing things that fill our lives with wellness, strength and energy.” PJ’s tips, available at www. livingwell.ca, show us how to think differently and positively about aging: • Try a new adventure: Just because you’re not in your 20s anymore does not mean you have to stop being adventurous with your activity choices. Going to sporting events, travelling to new places and attending concerts are just some of the things that people can enjoy at any age. While it might be a challenge to fit another activity into your busy life, the rewards are great and definitely worth the extra effort. • Take time to enjoy your favourite foods and explore new ones: As we get older, many of us

A trusted name in Hearing Aids client is at ease wearing the aids and then we teach them how to use them properly.”
At first, you realize that you are struggling to hear a conversation amidst noise and babble. Before long, your family and friends have to speak loudly in order for you to hear them.
His father, David Lloyd, built the business based on integrity, great service, fair prices and quality products.
Locked in increasing silence, older people with impaired hearing often withdraw and feel isolated.
In 1986, David brought in his son Robert Lloyd; Stuart Lloyd joined the company in 1993.
There is no reason to live like that, says Stuart Lloyd, owner and manager of Sears Hearing (Fuller and Lloyd,) a company he runs with his brother Robert Lloyd.
“The best compliment is when a customer breaks into a big smile because they can hear better,” says Lloyd.
Today’s advances in technology offers alternatives that didn’t exist years ago. The days of the big, bulky hearing aids are gone. Today’s state-of-the-art technology offers comfortable and smaller hearing aids, adds Lloyd. “There’s new and better technology out there including wireless and Bluetooth hearing aids,” says Lloyd. “Not only are they cosmetically better looking, but the new aids automatically adjust to filter and reduce background noise.” Sears Hearing is an independently owned and operated company with three locations – Metrotown Burnaby,
Stuart Lloyd, Anita Prizmic and Mal Nagra from Sears Hearing Metrotown Coquitlam Centre and Guilford Town Centre in Surrey. What sets Sears Hearing apart? Sears Hearing has been a trusted name in hearing aids for more than four decades. That’s because they ensure a proper fit and a comfortable one before each client walks out the door.
“Imagine you haven’t heard your refrigerator hum or heard the traffic for many years, and then in one day you are welcomed back to a noisy world,” says Lloyd, adding they offer a free hearing screening test. “We help our clients get used to the new sounds. “Our first priority is to make sure each
Hearing aids are important because they will give you the chance to hear again, but it is important that you get the hearing aid that is right for you from a company that you can trust. Many clients have entrusted Sears Hearing with their hearing devices. “Our Burnaby office has won the Readers’ Choice Award in the Burnaby Now for 12 consecutive years … it’s an honour we are extremely proud of,” says Lloyd. Sears Hearing offers exceptional service and quality hearing aids with a 60-day trial period. All three locations are open six days a week.

Offensive Lineman Non-Import
I’m a small town B.C. guy – born and raised in Parksville on Vancouver Island. I began playing football while attending high school at Ballenas Secondary and because of my size I was a natural fit on the offensive line. In fact, I did so well that I was named my team’s Most Valuable Player in my senior season. Following my high school graduation, I had an opportunity to head south to continue my education and play football for the University of South Carolina in the NCAA’s Southeastern Conference, which features some of the most competitive college football in the United States. After playing four years on the Gamecocks’ offensive line, I had a newfound appreciation for my adopted home but was nonetheless excited to return to British Columbia to don the black and orange as the Lions’ first-round selection in the 2008 CFL draft. I’d seen firsthand what playing in front of some of the most passionate football fans is all about and I knew I’d see similar CONGRATULATIONS! support from Lions fans back home in B.C. Now in my second season on the Leos’ offensive line, I feel privileged to come to work every day and play the game I love. Nothing would make me happier than to bring the Grey Cup home to British Columbia and share that experience with my family and friends. Through thick and thin, the guys on the offensive line have become family to me and I’m proud of the contributions we make on and off the field. As a kid who dreamed of playing professional football from a young age, I remember looking up to athletes for inspiration. For that reason, I enjoy taking part in the Lions’ community programs Panorama Ridge student Jenn Grewal throughout the year, particularly the Congratulations to Gwen Stafford (left) winner of four BC Lions tickets in the gets a lift from BC Lions offensive lineTerasen Gas Energy Champions initiative. man Justin Sorensen before a charity Burnaby Now “Blues Festival Trivia” contest.

Why you should try to understand your doctor HEALTHWISE
Dr. Davidicus Wong
T
he self-help and magazine industries thrive on the confused communications between the sexes. Both men and women huddle with their same-sex friends, bemoaning and advising one another on how the other sex really thinks, feels and wants. Cosmo advises women on their relationships; Maxim advises men on theirs. I wonder if men would understand women better by reading their
magazines. Yet I shudder to think of the impression women get when they look at a typical men’s magazine. They don’t have to turn a page to peak into the dark recesses of the male mind; the cover says it all. Though your relationships with the opposite sex affect your happiness and sanity, there’s another relationship you might need to work on – one that can have an even greater impact on your present and future health. It’s your relationship with your doctor, and talking with your friends and reading magazines may not help you understand doctors any better. The magazines in a medical office can give you some limited clues. I
remember seeing a lot of dog and boating magazines in one specialist’s waiting room. But to really get into the mindspace of a physician, you have to be one, live with one or – easier yet – read my next series of articles. Communication, of course, is the central issue in the patient-doctor relationship. It goes both ways. Physicians have to listen and understand your concerns; you need to understand what they are talking about. Effective communication can be short-circuited by inadequate listening, the tendency of physicians to interrupt you before you’ve finished telling your story, and our confusing use of
medical jargon. Clarity of communication is one thing, but just as important is the dialogue. Without a collaborative approach, even if you’re lucky enough to fully understand what your doctor told you, you may leave the office with orders you don’t intend to follow. In this series of articles, we’ll cover the obstacles to effective communication with your doctor. First, we’ll take you into the mind of the doctor. You’ll understand how medical school transforms normal people into jargonspouting, goal-directed clinicians; how we are trained to dissociate our feelings; how we apply a scientific approach to your problems. You’ll learn about the
patterns of thinking that physicians tend to fall into. We can allow the pressure of our schedules to limit our listening and jump to a diagnosis. We tend to fall into stereotypical patterns of speaking and thinking. We tend to come up with the most common diagnosis rather than a rarer more serious condition. We can narrow the list of possible diagnoses too early, and we can misdiagnosis you as noncompliant just because you didn’t understand our instructions or didn’t agree with them. You’ll get an intimate look into the emotional life of doctors: how we relate to one another; how we sacrifice life balance for
our work; how we tend towards perfectionism; how we deal with stress; and how patients affect us. All this impacts on how present your doctor is with you and how you communicate. Along the way, you’ll learn practical tips on getting the most out of your doctor’s visit, including how to agree on an agenda and treatment plan, how you can get doctors to listen better, and how some key questions can prompt doctors to put more thought into your problems. Dr. Davidicus Wong is a family physician. His Healthwise column appears regularly in this paper, and his Internet radio show can be heard on www.pwrnradio. com.
Simon Fraser pipes its way to third in the world Simon Fraser University’s pipe band has hit a sour note in its hopes for a three-peat world bagpipe title. An estimated 53,000 spectators watched as the
Burnaby band tied for third place at the world pipe band championships in Glasgow, Scotland. Pipe Sergeant Jack Lee said it’s disappointing to lose this year after clinch-
ing the top spot in two straight championships. “But as we see it, we’ve officially finished in the top three and that’s still a good feeling,” Lee said. “We’ve been here before.
We’ll be back.” St. Lawrence O’Toole of Dublin, Ireland took first place. Northern Ireland took second spot. Twenty-six bands from
around the world participated in the competition. Lee said the band, which has won six championships between 1995 and 2009, will now regroup and gear up for its 30th anniversary

Host Burrards learn Presidents Cup lesson Burnaby misses final after belated comeback bid Tom Berridge sports editor
A spot in the President’s Cup final was just a goal away for the host Burnaby Burrards. The West Coast Senior Lacrosse League regular season champs lost a 10-9 decision to the defending two-time national champion Owen Sound Woodsmen on the final day of the round-robin that would have put them into the Canadian final against the Onondaga Redhawks. Burnaby went on to drop a 13“This whole tour- 6 encounter with nament has been the Kahnawake in the good for our club. bMohawks ronze-medal We now know match at the Bill Copeland Sports what it takes.” Centre on Aug. 21. KEVIN HILL “We came Burnaby Burrards goalie out and we were playing hard. It was just a few breakdowns and they capitalized on the mistakes,” said Burrards keeper Kevin Hill. “(Kahnawake) is a good club.” Burnaby fell behind by two goals to Kahnawake on two separate occasions but managed to draw even both times before giving up three late second-period goals, including a pair in the final minute of the stanza. Burnaby player of the game Justin Thomas tied it up 2-2, with his first of two goals in the period. Then later in the frame, Mitch Dibblee, a pickup from Ladner, knotted the score at fours with his team-best 10th tally of the tournament. But Kahnawake responded with three goals of its own in the final four minutes, which appeared to take some of the wind

Burnaby mounted a brief flurry in the final period, with Cory Melville and Cory Siegner of Burnaby both scoring just seconds apart.
But Kahnawake’s second team all-star James Rooney immediately answered back with his hat-trick goal. Player of the game for the Mohawks, Alex Henderson, also scored three times,
all on breakaways. Burnaby also lost to the Mohawks 10-6 on the opening day of the championships. But Hill said the experience was invaluable for the young Burrards club. “After losing three games in the playoffs and the first two in the Presidents Cup, everyone had us written off. But we finally buried it and got some momentum going, and began to play some lacrosse,” said Hill, who played in five of the team’s seven games despite a painful back injury. “This whole tournament has been good for our club. We now know what it takes.” In the pivotal one-goal loss to Owen Sound, the Burrards trailed the Woodsmen 9-4 at one point in the contest, but came back to score five times in the last four minutes only to fall a single tally short. Marus Wooden and Dibblee both scored a pair of goals in the comeback bid. Travis St. Germain had a three-point outing, including a single counter. Onondaga, 5-1 winners in the roundrobin standings, defeated Owen Sound 14-7 in the championship final, becoming the first CanAm champion since the Newtown Golden Eagles in 2000 to win the Presidents Cup. Owen Sound won a third consecutive medal at the Presidents Cup, settling for the silver medal after winning the senior B title in both 2008 and ’09. Wooden led all Burrards players with 20 points, including seven goals. Kyle McCartney had seven goals and 16 points to tie Dibblee. Quinn Waddington, Melville, Siegner and Chris Fox all scored six times in the tournament for Burnaby. Tri-City Bandits forward Athan Iannucci led all goal scorers with 17 markers in tournament play. Russ Heard was second in Bandits team scoring with four goals and 12 assists. Tri-City lost its final game of the Presidents Cup 13-10 to Kahnawake on the final day of the round robin to put the Mohawks and Burnaby, all with 3-3 records, through to the medal round.
B.C. finish fourth at unforgiving midget nationals Tom Berridge sports editor
Team B.C. had to settle for fourth place at the Canadian national midget lacrosse championships Friday. Playing within an outdated championship schedule, thirdplace finishing B.C. and runnerup Alberta paid the price for having to play two games on
the final day of competition in Coquitlam. B.C. lost the morning semifinal match 5-3 to its prairie neighbours before having little left in the tank to take on a fresh Ontario side waiting for them in the afternoon bronze-medal match. Ontario won the bronze medal 7-2, while Iroquois doubled Alberta 4-2 in the gold-medal final that followed.
“Playing so many games in a short amount of time is hard on the body,” Team B.C. captain Chris Nasato of New Westminster said of the seven games played in six days. In the semifinal, B.C. fell behind 3-0, but mounted an attempted comeback, scoring three times in the final frame. “We fought hard in that game, but we had a lot of penalties,
Nasato added. With their gold medal hopes dashed, “It was hard to go out and show a lot of emotion. But we stepped it up and we showed a lot of pride. … We didn’t want to let B.C. down.” In the bronze final, Ontario led 2-0 after the opening period and were up 4-0 before B.C. got on the board with back-to-back goals late in the frame by James Rahe of
Langley and Brett Hawrys from North Okanagan to close the deficit to two goals. But Ontario had more jump and scored again on starter Steven Mayervich, who was replaced by Burnaby’s Cody Gilliam. B.C. and Ontario finished the round-robin play with similar 42 records, but the home team Midgets Page 30

Canada beats Scotland in World Cup opener
Peewee champion settles for a bronze Nicholas Carusi of Burnaby shared a bronze medal with B.C. champion Ridge Meadows at the Baseball Canada peewee boys’ Western championships in Brandon, Man. Sunday. Provincial runner-up Abbotsford nipped Ridge Meadows 5-2 in the semifinals earlier in the day before going on to beat host Brandon in the gold-medal final 13-11. Ridge Meadows edged the Saskatoon Braves 11-9 in the consolation final. The 13-year-old came on as a pinch hitter and had two hits, including a double, and one run scored
in an opening 12-6 victory over Manitoba No. 3 Mid West on Aug. 19. He then helped B.C. defeat Regina 14-6 the following day with a big day at bat, scattering three hits in six trips to the plate, while scoring two runs for the winners. Later in the day, Carusi had two more hits in Ridge Meadows’ first loss of the competition, a 5-3 defeat to Brandon. On Saturday, Carusi scored a run on a wild pitch in the second inning after his second triple of the tournament in the team’s 11-7 win over Alberta champion Spruce Grove.
Bulldogs off to Nova Scotia nats
The Burnaby Bulldogs won the provincial senior men’s baseball championships for a second consecutive year. The Bulldogs defeated host Trail, Victoria and Prince George before beating Nanaimo in the double-knockout competition 9-3 in the final game earlier in the month. Steve McCrea went the distance for the Bulldogs. Burnaby will now represent B.C. in the Baseball Canada senior championships in Darthouth, N.S., beginning Aug. 26 to 29.
One goal in mind:

BURNABY SPORTS BRIEFS The Burnaby Lakers finished in last place in the Western Lacrosse Association this season, but they’re first in league awards. Scott Tinning was named the league’s rookie of the year, while Bob Johnston and his coaching staff earned coach of the year honours. Tinning led the senior A Lakers in scoring with 28 goals and 53 points. Burnaby improved as a team from a 2-15-1 record in 2009 to finish tied with Langley at 6-12 this season. The Lakers also won the Ab Brown trophy as the most sportsmanlike team in the league.
Karate coach of the year
Local karate instructor Sandeep Gill was named national coach of the year. He was earlier honoured as Karate B.C. coach of the year as well.
Assistant coach hired
Simon Fraser University men’s basketball coach James Blake hired Dan Emerson as an assistant Aug. 19. Emerson has extensive experience in the NCAA as an assistant at Seattle University, Eastern Washington, Utah and Cal State Northridge universities. Last season, Emerson was associate head coach at Bellevue College, where he was primarily in charge of recruiting and advanced scouting.
Swimmer named
Lauren Lavigna of Burnaby was named to Canada’s swim team for the upcoming Commonwealth Games in Delhi, India. The 21-year-old Lavigna, a world qualifier in the 100- and 200-metre backstroke, was named to the 27-member national team on Aug. 22.
Nasato finished the competition with two goals and four assists for B.C. James Baker of Ridge Meadows led the team with seven goals. Hawrys and tournament all-star Challen Rogers of Coquitlam had six goals and six assists apiece. Cole Shafer of Coquitlam was named B.C.’s MVP.
Burnaby Lake Rugby Club’s Anna Schnell booted the Canadian national women’s team to an opening day win over Scotland in the Women’s World Cup in London, England Aug. 20. Schnell kicked for a total of 12 points on two penalty kicks and three converts as Canada scored five times to upend Scotland 37-10 in its opening match. Burnaby Lake winger and team vice-captain Maria Gallo also scored a try for Canada. “Scotland came out hard, but we had a quick start which was one of our aims for the tournament,” said Gallo in a Rugby World Cup release. “We want to start fast and finish strong, which are two things we actually achieved today.” Front row forwards Corinne Jacobsen and Kim Donaldson and scrum half Julia Sugawara are also all on the Canadian squad in England.

Looks like Orangeville/Coquitlam final; Alberta has a chance Tom Berridge sports editor
The Orangeville Northmen emerged as the team to beat after an opening day win at the Minto Cup junior A lacrosse championships in Coquitlam. The Onatrio league champs looked far from rusty, taking a 93 victory over the B.C. runner-up New Westminster Salmonbellies in the Minto Cup series opener on Saturday. The two teams played it even in the first 20 minutes but the Northmen came out for the second two periods with renewed pep, outscoring the Salmonbellies 7-1 while enjoying an edge in shots 34-17. Orangeville’s leading playoff scorers Adam Jones and Jeremy Noble led the team against New Westminster, with two goals and five points, and four points,
respectively. New Westminster player of the game Jay Card led the ‘Bellies with two goals and three points. Salmonbellies starting goalie Frank Scigliano faced 36 shots before being replaced by Brandon Mulligan early in the third period. Orangeville’s Dillon Ward faced 14 shots in the opening frame but faced just 10 the rest of the way. “We haven’t played in two weeks, so we came out a little flat, but we got better in the second and third periods,” said Orangeville captain Glen Bryan. “They call it old-school lacrosse. We play both ends of the floor. We like pushing and pushing it hard and run, run, run, run. We will build on that and go from there.” That cannot be good news for the other clubs involved in the

games in a row. Orangeville got past the pesky Alberta club 7-3 despite a 40save performance from Okotoks goalie Greg Hallet. In the later game, Coquitlam took care of New Westminster 117 despite being outshot 55-40 by the B.C. league runner-up. The goaltending was once again a storyline. Dan Lewis stopped 48 Salmonbellie shots in the Adanacs goal. New Westminster and Okotoks played off for the final semifinal berth on Tuesday (after NOW deadlines). The winner of Tuesday’s matchup will then play off against the second-place-finishing team tonight (Wednesday) at the Coquitlam Sports Centre. The winner meets the firstplace team in a best-of-three game final series, beginning Friday. All games are at 8 p.m.
