SEXUAL EXPLOITATION

City helps task force for youth Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Burnaby councillors approved $6,000 in funding Monday for a city-led task force that aims to combat child prostitution and the sexual exploitation of youth through pornography, stripping and phone sex.

The task force is a city-led initiative but includes representatives from a number of agencies, such as local school districts, the Fraser Health Authority, the Ministry if Children and Family Development and nonprofit groups.

The task force’s plan is to use the money for a variety of upcoming projects, mainly to figure out what services are missing for sexually exploited youth and advocate for those services. The group has also had a hard time getting reliable statistics and information on sexually exploited youth, so the task force wants to develop a guide for social service agencies to identify sexually exploited youth (or those at risk) in Burnaby and New Westminster and start a pilot project to keep track of them.

The task force also plans to participate in “Stop the Sexual Exploitation of Children and Youth” awareness week in March and hold a walk to raise community awareness about the problem. The task force will also launch a new resource website for youth and sponsor presentations in high schools to raise “awareness of the dangers of high-risk behaviour.”

The task force has been around since 1998. In 2000, Burnaby social service agencies tracked 35 local youth at-risk of being sexually exploited through the sex trade if they weren’t already.

The task force states that each year, kids as young as 13 are recruited into the sex trade, “lured by promises of glamour and excitement, because they can sell their Youth Page 4

A CLOSER LOOK: BURNABY’S CITY ARCHIVES STORE HISTORY AND CHART CHANGE

What the future holds for the city’s past Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

Burnaby’s city archives has shaken off the image of archives as dusty, dark rooms filled with microfiche with its Charting Change online atlas project.

Charting Change: An Interactive Atlas of Burnaby’s Heritage tied with a Smithsonian Institute project last month for ArchivesNext’s award for best repurposing of digitized data.

“We’re so excited,” city archivist Arilea Sill says, adding it is great to be acknowledged, as the Burnaby Archives is a comparatively small organization.

She adds it is also great that “We can make something equal to, and as good as, the service provided by the Smithsonian.”

The project started 10 years ago, she says, with a poster of four historical maps of Burnaby, and one current map.

The online project, which allows visitors to Heritage Burnaby’s website to click on and learn about historic locations on each of the maps, launched last February. The city’s gaming funds, and a Department of Canadian Heritage grant, funded the project.

Charting Change is not the only modern initiative the archives has taken on.

HeritageBurnaby.ca – a collaboration between Burnaby’s community heritage commission, the heritage planning program, the archives, the Burnaby Village Museum and the Burnaby Library – launched last February, as well.

The site contains online exhibits, links to history websites, historic photographs, information on artifact and text collections, heritage landmarks, and library collections.

Technology is also being used to preserve documents, Sill says.

“It’s opening a lot of new windows to us,” she says, adding the archives can kill two birds with one stone by digitally scanning photos to preserve them, and provid-

The archives are also exploring crowdsourcing, primarily with a comment feature on the historical photos on the site, so people can discuss photos or provide additional information.

“We’re gathering a great deal of information,” Sill says. One woman who saw

her family in photos on the site was able to provide historical background back to England.

“It’s everybody’s history, and personal stories add to it,” Sill says. “The resources of the public can be so vast.”

Sill is also hoping to add a feature that would allow viewers to upload their own photos.

While 2,000 of the city’s historic photos are now online, the city’s textual and audiovisual material is still only accessible by visiting the archives, located at the McGill Library at 4595 Albert St. The city bylaws are all available online, however.

The hardcopy materials are held in cold,

Archives jam-packed, but shelves may help Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

The Burnaby Archives are requesting a space-saving measure that could prevent the need for a larger location for the time being.

City council passed a report from the community heritage commission, asking for $174,000 for high density shelving for the archives, on to the city’s finance and civic development committee.

Currently, the archives is at 90 per cent capacity and is expected to be at 100 per cent by the end of 2011, according to the report.

The shelving could increase the archives’ capacity by 75 per cent.

“It is an effective solution at this point,” said Arilea Sill, the city archivist.

The additional shelving could provide enough space for the next five to seven years, she said, adding that is a conservative estimate and she hopes it would last

longer than that.

The archives moved into its current location at the McGill library branch in 2001, and at the time received large amounts of records from the city. The archives also received the Burnaby Historical Society’s archival material in 2007.

“In the first few years, we were receiving transfers of 300 to 400 boxes at a time,” Sill said, adding transfers come in much smaller quantities now.

If funding is approved, it would take

a few months to install the shelving, as a vendor needs to be found, she said.

The installation would use the current shelves but compact them, while adding additional shelving units.

The archives’ material would have to be moved for about a month during the installation, Sill said. The funding request included $2,000 for storage.

Eventually, however, a larger space or

CITY HALL

City concerned about cost of regional sewer plans Burnaby city staff agree with the principles behind Metro Vancouver’s liquid waste plan, but they’re concerned about the financial implications to the municipality.

The environment committee presented a report on the issue to city council this week.

Metro Vancouver’s board adopted the Integrated Liquid Waste and Resource Management Plan in May. The plan includes goals and strategies originally in the 2002 plan, to manage and provide

wastewater services.

These services include collection and treatment, source control programs, rainwater management and support of environmental monitoring programs.

The new goals and strategies for 2010 include protection of public health and the environment, use of liquid waste as a resource, and effective, affordable and collaborative management.

While the city supports these goals, the financial burden is worrisome, the staff report stated.

“The detailed financial implications and affordability of the regional and municipal commitments remain uncertain at this time, especially with respect to the level of cost sharing that will be available from senior levels of government for the upgrading of the wastewater treatment plants at Lion’s Gate and Iona,” the report said.

Burnaby wants Metro Vancouver to secure cost sharing, and determine levels, from the provincial and federal governments.

House demolition set

A home on city property is beyond repair and should be torn down, according to a report from the engineering department, presented to council this week.

The house at 7624 Newcombe St. was bought by the city in 1973 for road right-of-way for future road construction.

There is currently a singlefamily home on the property, with tenants. The dwelling is in need of extensive repairs to bring it to rental standards, the report

stated.

The finance department confirmed that, because of the age of the building and the significant improvements required in the next few years, it is not economically feasible to upgrade the dwelling for rental purposes.

Staff said there is no heritage value to the building.

City council approved the plan to remove and/or demolish the structures and outbuildings on the property.

The tenant is being notified.

dry storage facilities on the premises.

The archivists’ primary job is to collect records from the community, and preserve and index the material, says Sill, who has been the city’s full-time archivist since 2002.

The archives also provides research services for the public and city staff.

While Burnaby’s archival online presence is primarily through the city website, New Westminster’s Archives launched a Facebook page, New Westminster Museum and Archives, earlier this week.

Neither of the archives have a Twitter account as of yet.

It is a balancing act to make sure material is collected, preserved and protected as well as promoting the archives to the public, Barry Dykes, New West’s archivist, says.

The Royal City archives still uses traditional methods of preservation, such as microfiche, but has also been digitally scanning photos since the mid-’90s, like many archives, he says.

New West is planning to launch a new website for the museum and archives by the end of the year.

While the website will be simple in structure, it will contain online exhibits, as well as the archives’ online public access database, which is also set to be completed by the end of the year.

Dykes hopes the projects are completed around the same time, so the two can be launched together.

However, he points out that New Westminster Archives is a smaller organization – he is the sole archivist and works four days a week, whereas Burnaby has two on staff – and must keep preserving and indexing material as its priority.

“We have a duty to preserve the records we do have,” he says, adding the archives is also trying to take advantage of available technology, to preserve material and show people what’s available.

Vancouver Archives, which has more financial and staff resources than the smaller cities’ archives, has had a strong online presence for years.

Vancouver has a Twitter account, VanArchives, and has had a YouTube channel for its digitalized videos since 2008.

The city even has its own digital archivist, Sue Bigelow.

The archivists continually update the online database, and are proponents of open data access, and also use open source software to preserve records and material.

But Vancouver archives manager Heather Gordon agrees it is impossible to digitize everything and put it online, even with the Vancouver Archives’ resources.

“For heavy-duty research, they pretty much have to come in,” she says.

Shelving: Archives needs expansion continued from page 3

expansion of the current space will be needed.

“We’ll have to look at all the options,” Sill said.

“There will have to be some long-term planning.”

The commission also submitted a request for funding for the archives’ oral history digitization program.

The archives has been digitally preserving text

documents and photos for some time, but is looking at preserving audio recordings as well.

The archives has about 100 hours of oral history recordings of Burnaby’s pioneers, done in the ‘70s and ‘80s.

The commission has requested $75,000 to digitize the recordings.

Thus far, the archives

has made an inventory of the analog tapes, Sill said.

Eventually, she hopes to upload the digital tracks to the Heritage Burnaby website, and make them keyword and subject searchable, so people can find interviews or portions of interviews relevant to their searches.

“It is in the planning stages now,” she said.

bodies for the security of a place to stay or food to eat, or because they have a drug habit or alcohol problem they must feed.”

Annabel Webb is a spokesperson with Justice for Girls, a non-profit group that works with young girls in the crimi-

nal justice system. She said her group has worked with sexually exploited youth from Burnaby and New Westminster, and that often they are criminalized to keep them out of the trade.

Webb said it’s difficult to say if Burnaby and New Westminster are any better or worse than other munici-

palities when it comes to child prostitution, but the task force’s effort to get statistics and reliable information was a good idea.

Webb said the best way to solve child prostitution was to address root causes like violence against women in the home and poverty.

Authority is given for an annual tax sale by the Local Government Act Sec. 403 (1) which states “At 10 a.m. on the last Monday in September, at the council chambers, the collector must conduct the annual tax sale by offering for sale by public auction each parcel of real property on which taxes are delinquent.”

Take notice that the following properties shall, on the 27th day of September, 2010, in the Council Chamber of the City Hall, 4949 Canada Way, Burnaby BC at the hour of 10:00am be offered for sale at the public auction, unless delinquent taxes, with interest, are sooner paid.

Purchasers of tax sale property are subject to tax under the Property Purchase Tax Act. This tax will be calculated on the market value of the property at the time the title is transferred to the purchaser at the Land Title Office.

At the end of the redemption period, the City will notify the Registrar of Titles to transfer the title to the purchaser and will also notify the Administrator of the Property Tax Act who will bill the purchaser for the tax.

Prospective bidders are advised that it is their responsibility to search the title in advance to determine if there are any charges against the property.

For further information call the Tax Office at 604-294-7350.

Burnaby MLA off HST ‘hit list’ But Fight HST organizer says Richard Lee isn’t necessarily safe Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

The Fight HST campaign announced a new revised list of Liberal politicians targeted for recall campaigns on Monday, and Burnaby North MLA Richard Lee is no longer on it.

However, Fight HST organizer Bill Tieleman says Lee is not safe from the recall campaign.

“He still could get on there. What we’ve done is got expressions of interest from the ridings,” Tieleman said, explaining the Fight HST campaign collected public input to see which ridings were best prepared for the recall campaign.

Each riding is going to try and sign up canvassers to get signatures to recall MLAs, and the ridings that have the most support will get launched first in the recall campaign, he added. “The folks in Richard Lee’s riding weren’t quite ready to meet to circumstances.”

Tieleman said Lee is still a target but he’s just not on the top list of 18

OUR VIEW

He said police often deal with suicidal people, and knowing if those people have a firearm saves lives.

As Chief Const. Peter Lepine of the West Vancouver Police Department summed it up: “Why do you think this information is so important? We do it when a student on a Facebook page says they are tired of being bullied and don’t want to take it any more. … We do it when people call to report a relative with mental health problems or a landlord calls to say a couple is fighting and he

doesn’t know if they have any firearms.”

Yes, a farmer in a peaceful Saskatchewan town who uses his .22 for killing prairie dogs is probably not too pleased about having to register his gun.

But guns can be moved from one place to another – and, unfortunately, domestic violence and mental illness also occur in idyllic prairie towns.

It’s time to get politics out of this issue and listen to the police.

The goal – and the only goal here – should be to ensure fewer people die.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Electoral system isn’t working Dear Editor:

Burnaby NOW has recently published an interview with former city councillor Lee Rankin (Does Burnaby city council need opposition?, Burnaby NOW, Sept. 8), an Editor’s Letter (Is opposition always better?, Burnaby NOW, Sept. 11) and a letter from G. Bruce Friesen (Opposition crucial to democracy, Letters to the editor, Burnaby NOW, Sept. 15).

These have all pointed out the lack of any opposition in the present Burnaby city council and its consequences. They all miss two important points: that we all deserve representation, and how to get it.

In his 1940 book, George Hallett wrote: “In a democratic government, the right of decision belongs to the majority, but the right of representation belongs to all.”

Our present system fails badly on both counts.

The Burnaby city election in 2005 resulted in the party that received the largest number of votes losing the election to a party with a smaller number of votes. Crazy? Yes, but that is what happens with our voting system. And it is routine with this system that about half of the voters do not get a representative of their points of view on council.

At the 2008 election, 51 per cent of the votes were for candidates from the Burnaby Citizens’ Association, and those votes elected all eight councillors. The other 49 per cent of the votes elected no one.

Why can’t we have everyone represented on council? The culprit is the block voting system in use; it may be simple, but it is a failure. It routinely produces an unrepresentative council, and

occasionally a “wrong winner.” A simple improvement could be made by the city council – that is, instead of giving everyone eight votes, give everyone a smaller number, say six, votes. This is called limited block voting. It is not perfect but would result in a better representation of what people vote for.

Better still is a voting system in which voters indicate their preferences, ranking candidates 1, 2, 3 etc., and the ballots are counted using the single transferable vote.

This system matches voters’ and candidates’ interests and would result in each candidate being elected by about the same number of votes.

Limited block voting is something that candidates at the next election should be promising to institute if they are in a position to do so. If they do not, I do not want to hear them complaining about how unrepresentative council is.

Looking further ahead, we really should do our best to get each councillor representing a set of voters with similar interests. My reading of the Local Government Act is that we could do this now; the present council disagrees. The act does not specify any particular voting system. What it does specify is that the “candidates who received the highest number of valid votes” are elected.

This is true for nearly all voting systems.

I find it very disappointing that the parties that did not get anyone elected at the last election did not make any representation to the Local Government Elections Task Force earlier this year; this was their

opportunity to try to get the act changed to give us fair elections. The City of Vancouver and several groups made submissions but were ignored by the task force. Perhaps those who have connections to the B.C. Liberal Party could use their influence to get the minister to get this underway.

Dear Editor:

Re: Opposition crucial to democracy, Letters to the editor, Burnaby NOW, Sept.

15. Mr. G. Bruce Friesen‘s attempt to include our city council with the dictatorial B.C. Liberal Party is simply attempting to kill two birds with one stone. Regarding our city council makeup, it was an autonomous voters’ choice. Their democratic decision resulted in the opposition being humiliated and the BCA flabbergasted. It was no Machiavellian ploy by the BCA. Burnaby voters democratically eliminated those they knew to be ineligible for our city governance, therefore those contesting local politicians who complain about BCA dominance on city council, or school board, have only themselves to blame.

Our so-called “free press” is built on the same model employed by countries such as China and Russia. The only difference is theirs is state-controlled, ours is controlled by an individual or a corporation with vested interests. With the control of newspapers falling into fewer and fewer hands, we now have an enormous amount of private influence being controlled by those hands.

Referendum: Liberals in tough continued from page 6

one in the last election, more than 800,000 people would have to leave their homes en masse on one Saturday next fall and vote to keep the HST. That strikes me as an awfully high bar for the government to get over.

It’s not completely out of the question for enough people to vote in favour of the HST to keep it, but the odds seem awfully long.

And compounding the problem from the government’s point of view is the inevitability of many, many people seeing the referendum as the perfect vehicle to register their displeasure and frustration of the government – and particularly the premier – over any number of issues.

I’ve long thought the

anti-HST petition was signed by a lot of people who viewed it as more of an anti-B.C. Liberal petition than an anti-tax effort.

I visited a lot of canvassing locations and witnessed many people asking, “Is that the anti-Campbell petition” or “Is that the antigovernment petition?”

Will Campbell’s popularity recover in time for next year’s referendum?

According to various polls, he’s got a heck of a lot of ground to make up to even get to the point where half the electorate supports him.

One wild card in all this speculation could be the fact that more than $2 billion in extra revenue over the next three years has suddenly materialized, thus creating the real possibility that next spring’s

budget could contain significant tax cuts or some kind of financial rebate scheme (to go with the various ones already in place).

But I’m not sure Campbell and the B.C. Liberals can buy their way back into the good graces of enough people to save the HST at this point.

After nine years in power, a government – and especially a leader – can accumulate so much bad baggage that they inevitably sink. He may insist the HST referendum is not about his leadership, but Gordon Campbell may discover that for so many people, it is exactly about that – unless, of course, he resigns before the vote.

Families seek changes to wrongful death laws Alfie Lau

staff reporter

Beatrice Pereira admits she’s always a mess on June 19 each year.

That’s because that date is the anniversary of when Pereira lost her mother, Theresa, in 2006.

What makes Beatrice so sad is that her mother died in a case she believes is a case of medical negligence.

“My mom went in to a hospital for an eye infection, and she ended up dying,” said Beatrice. “It’s been more than four years now, and I still don’t have any answers.”

Theresa Pereira’s story goes back to May 10, 2006, when the 71-year-old went in for cataract laser surgery. The surgery seemed to go well, but less than two weeks later, on May 21, her eye became sore and swollen and she had a headache.

Her son Gordon took her to Vancouver General Hospital, and the first doctor there told her the eye was infected. Theresa was told to go to an eye clinic down the street because they had more specialized equipment. At that clinic, Theresa was told by the resident doctor there that she needed immediate treatment and a freezing solution, Lidocaine, would be injected. The resident doctor also told Theresa that she needed some antibiotics, which would take an hour to arrive, so the doctor suggested that Theresa and Gordon go for lunch.

After Theresa returned, the resident doctor administered the Lidocaine and left

to page a retinal specialist.

While alone, Theresa suffered a reaction to the medication. When the resident doctor and her son found her, she was unconscious and not breathing. Gordon was told that his mother had thrown up and had possibly inhaled some of the vomit when a breathing tube was put down her throat.

The initial diagnosis was that the Lidocaine had entered Theresa’s cerebral fluid and frozen her brain. Theresa’s brain was deprived of oxygen for more than three minutes.

Admitted to the intensive care unit, Theresa also suffered burns when an intravenous needle was incorrectly inserted into her arm and caused the medication to burn the outer layers of her skin.

By June 13, 2006, Theresa’s condition had worsened, as a blood clot led to her needing medication to maintain a regular heartbeat. Six days later, Theresa was diagnosed with internal bleeding. When doctors were preparing her for surgery, they discovered that blood was barely flowing to her extremities. Within hours, the family had to make the decision on whether to take Theresa off the machines that were keeping her alive.

“Less than a month after my mother went in to get treatment on her eye, she was dead,” said Beatrice. “I know that I definitely have to let go of the past, but it’s been hard.”

Instead of wallowing in pity and sorrow, Beatrice wanted to make a difference.

She became involved in a local group, the Law Page 10

Law: Families seek reform continued from page 9

Wrongful Death Law Reform Group, that was started five years ago.

The group offers support to families, like the Pereiras, who believe they lost their loved ones as a result of wrongful death.

Bentley Doyle, communications director for the Trial Lawyers Association of B.C., said wrongful death cases generally involve deaths caused through medical negligence or car accidents where the death was caused by someone else’s recklessness and negligence, though not of a criminal nature.

“As it stands, non-wageearners, generally children, seniors and the disabled, are worthless in the eyes of the law,” said Doyle. “If their family didn’t count on them for income, their loss of companionship, care, guidance, protection and so forth are ignored by the system, as is the pain and suffering experienced by the direct victim prior to death and the secondary victims, the loved ones left behind.”

Doyle cites the recent case of a Vancouver lawyer receiving a multimillion-dollar settlement for loss of wages after being injured in a bar incident as an example of how the law places differing values on what a life is worth.

“There have been far too many victims of wrongful death in this province, and far too many families have been left helpless by the

lack of proper law,” said Beatrice. “The families are outraged by the state of the law in B.C. The greater public will be shocked and outraged as well, especially once citizens are made aware that – as it stands in British Columbia – children, seniors and the disabled are all worthless in the eyes of the law.”

The group celebrated its fifth anniversary on Sept.

11 during a meeting at the Bonsor Recreation Complex that was attended by more than 50 people.

“It was a great turnout,” said Doyle, who also had local lawyer Don Renaud speak at the gathering.

“New, fair and effective legislation is needed to provide legal remedies to suffering families,” Renaud said. “As it exists, the law is only concerned with wageearners and the economic loss of wrongful death. It totally fails to recognize pain, suffering and other forms of loss, such as loss of guidance, companionship, protection and care.”

Doyle said the organization has more than 100 different supporters and their goal is to have a provincial Wrongful Death Act to be established.

In June 2007, the attorney general’s ministry undertook a consultation on this topic, specifically looking at reform of the existing Family Compensation Act. The consultation concluded in September 2007, but so far there hasn’t been any change to the existing law.

Casino pitches in for the kids

T

he Grand Villa made a donation to the Burnaby Christmas Bureau this month and plans to participate in the Angel Project at Christmas.

The donation was made because the Bureau seemed like a natural fit as a charitable giving partner, according to Matt Ballesty, executive general manager of the casino.

“The Burnaby Christmas Bureau provides a great service to the community, especially during the holiday season,” Ballesty said in an e-mail.

On Sept. 1, Ballesty presented a cheque for $3,552.25 to Stephen D’Souza, executive director, and Claudine Souza from the bureau.

The money is slated to provide gift certificates for food for lowincome families over the holidays.

Grand Villa staff and customers will also participate in the Bureau’s Angel Project this Christmas, providing gifts for children of Burnaby families that are living in poverty, Ballesty added.

The casino also provides support to the Burnaby Hospital Foundation, KidSport B.C. through the Ritchie Brothers’ corporate kids challenge, the Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival, the Rotary Club of Burnaby Metrotown, the B.C. Cancer Foundation, the Burnaby Fire Fighters Association’s nutritional snack program, B.C. Children’s Hospital, the Royal Columbian Hospital, the Make a Wish Foundation, and Giro di Burnaby.

“We are very passionate about the community that we belong to,” Ballesty said.

The casino is introducing two new restaurants this fall; one serving Japanese food, and a modern Cantonese eatery.

Both restaurants will be located on Dominion Street and will be owned and managed by the Tropika Restaurant Group, according to Ballesty’s e-mail.

Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

It can be difficult to work with family.

Defining professional and personal relationships, and the tensions that can arise from that, isn’t easy.

But one Burnaby family has managed to build a small but successful business together over nearly five decades.

Daniel Boffo and sister Flavia Boffo Punzo currently run the Boffo family of companies, which was formed in 1963 by their father, Tarcisio – or Terry – Boffo.

The construction and management company’s success lies in the values of its founder, according to Daniel and Flavia.

“We’re planning to keep the reputation he’s built up, and build on it,” Daniel says, adding that Terry taught his children not to focus only on the bottom line, but to assess how a new building is and will be received by the community.

His barometer of success: “In 10 or 15 years, will you still be proud of it,” Daniel says.

Boffo is a small company, and Flavia and Daniel still rely on their father’s advice, going over project plans with him.

“We’ve been fortunate to have his expertise across a wide range of properties,” Daniel says.

Terry emigrated from Ca’Rainati, Italy when he was 18, starting in the construction industry as a landscaper.

He still chooses the landscaping for each project.

Terry and his brother, Mario, formed Boffo Brothers Landscape and Construction in 1963. Terry then created his own group of companies, including Boffo Homes Inc., Boffo Living Inc. and Boffo Building Inc. Daniel, Flavia and Terry all live within minutes of each other in North Burnaby.

As for the difficulties of working with family, Daniel jokingly says, “No comment!”

But he says it takes patience and communication, and it is important to be open and honest with each other.

“You need to be able to leave business at the front door,” Flavia adds. Her husband, Steve Punzo, is also part of a family business, and both strive to keep the two aspects of their lives separate.

“We really try to make a conscientious effort,” she says.

Flavia has been with the company for more than 20 years, since graduating from the B.C. Institute of Technology.

He has also worked with the B.C. Children’s Miracle Network Telethon since 1988.

Boffo: Brother and sister team continued from page 13

She started out working with bark mulch when she was little, as her father thought she could do the least damage there, she jokes.

Daniel has worked for the company since he was a kid, like his sister, but has only co-run the company with her for the past two years.

He first got his economics degree from the University of British Columbia, and his architectural and building engineering technology diploma from BCIT, and worked with another construction company, as well.

The company is currently selling units in its TowneWalk town home developmentnearPatterson SkyTrain station. Boffo is holding an open house for the new project on Sept.

23.

It is a mixture of 13 twolevel units and 13 one-level units. The exterior is an interpretation of traditional Arts and Crafts design, Daniel says, and each home has its own front door.

While the outside has a traditional appearance, the interior has a more contemporary, European look, he adds. And there is elevator access from the parkade, as well.

One of the primary

perks to the location is that it has a high walkability score, Daniel says, which means it is close to shopping, transit, Central Park and other neighbourhood amenities.

Another relatively new undertaking for the company is the official Boffo Foundation.

While Terry gave back to his community in a variety of ways – helping other families; founding the Gruppo Folcloristico

Trevigiano-Veneto di Vancouver; and commissioning a monument for the Italian Gardens from his home town of Italy – corporate giving was not formalized in the past, Flavia says.

A lot of the foundation’s focus will still be on Gruppo, which is a folk dancing and performing group that performs in seniors’ homes and hospitals, she says. jfuller-evans@burnabynow.com

Teen musical’s run extended LIVELY CITY

I

Julie MacLellan

f you didn’t get a chance to see 13: The Musical, don’t worry.

The musical has been recognized as a Pick of the Fringe for the 2010 Vancouver International Fringe Festival – which means it gets extra shows.

The musical was featured in the Sept. 11 Burnaby NOW. For those who missed it, it’s an all-teen production that features two young Burnaby talents, Julia Di Spirito and Brittany Gee-Moore.

They’re part of the cast that tells what’s described as the “wickedly funny” story of Evan, a boy plucked from his New York existence and plunked down in the middle of nowhere, Indiana, just weeks before he turns

13 – and just when he’s ready to throw the best bar mitzvah bash ever.

The coming-of-age story is unique for the Fringe, with a cast aged 12 to 18.

The musical runs in two casts – a junior cast (ages 12 to 17) and a more experienced senior cast (ages 15 to 18). Julia and Brittany are both part of the junior cast and can be seen on stage on Saturday, Sept. 25 at 3:30 p.m.

The senior cast performs again on Friday, Sept. 24 at 7 p.m.

Both shows are at the Waterfront Theatre, 280 East Cordova St. Tickets are $18 and on sale at www.vancouver fringe.com or by calling 604-637-6380.

And there’s more good news for 13: The Musical – it’s also going to play at the Norman Rothstein Theatre over Thanksgiving weekend, Oct. 7 through 11.

Good Friends Good Sushi

TASTE It’s time to make friends with garlic ON COOKING

B

Chef Dez

eing a chef, I am certain that you will think my opinion is biased when I tell you that garlic is my friend.

However, I have reasons to support my love for this little bulb.

I honestly believe that most people who say they hate the taste of garlic must have been exposed to an overpowered caesar

dressing or Greek tzatziki sauce at some point in their lives.

Garlic, when cooked, does not have that overly pungent flavour reminiscent of these raw form recipes. Alternatively, it has a sweeter and smoother temperament and adds a depth of flavour to your dish that cannot be mimicked.

A perfect example of this would be roasted garlic. Whole heads of garlic roasted in the oven can be puréed and mixed into an endless variety of recipes such as bread dough, dips, spreads, stuffings, etc, and it’s one of the easiest things to prepare:

*Cannot be combined with any other special or promotion. Expires Oct. 15, 2010

Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. Keep the garlic heads whole and cut off the tops of the garlic heads, just enough to expose the tops of the garlic cloves. Place the garlic heads in an ovenproof casserole dish equipped with a lid.

Drizzle one teaspoon of olive oil over each of the exposed garlic heads, and season lightly with salt and fresh cracked pepper. Cover and bake for 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand at room temperature (with the lid on) until cool enough to touch. Serve whole for presentation, or squeeze out Garlic Page 20

Getting the right diagnosis isn’t always easy HEALTHWISE

Dr. Davidicus Wong

H

ave you ever left the doctor’s office, feeling rushed, uneasy and worried that you don’t have the right diagnosis? Have you ever felt that the doctor wasn’t listening? Do you sometimes feel like doctors are thinking of you as a disease or a problem rather than a real person?

In medical school, we learn to recognize patterns of disease, and while we listen to a patient talk about their condition, in our heads, we run through a list of possible explanations – the differential diagnosis.

We are taught to listen first and not interrupt the patient too quickly. We also start with open-ended questions before funnelling down to more precise questions. You can tell if the doctor has made up his mind about your problem if he starts asking a series of short close-ended questions that just require a one word answer, such as yes or no. If the doctor believes she already knows what you have, the physical examination will be very focused and brief. Once the doctor gives you a working diagnosis, you may be sent for some lab tests to confirm it, and of course, the treatment prescribed will be based on that diagnosis.

Doctors tend to get frustrated if a patient’s presentation of symptoms don’t fit a typical pattern. A few rise to the challenge, maintain a broad differential of possible diagnoses and won’t rest until they arrive at the solution. But if a doctor is in a rush or doesn’t have much invested in your professional relationship, he may narrow the differential too quickly and make a diagnosis – usually the most common condition to explain your symptoms even if they don’t quite fit.

An experienced doctor’s intuition is like one’s conscience. If after a patient encounter, I have a sense of unease – that I missed something or that the presentation doesn’t quite fit the diagnosis – I’ll go back to my notes and think things through again.

Sometimes, making the

right diagnosis requires calling up the patient to ask a few more questions or considering different investigations.

Patients can inadvertently force a doctor to make premature diagnoses by presenting a barrage

of problems that he or she could not possibly work through systematically in a single office visit.

We usually want to see all the patient’s concerns up front – at least a summary list, so that we can realistically give each the attention

they require.

What can you do if the doctor arrives at a diagnosis that you’re uneasy with?

Most people wouldn’t come straight out and ask, “Are you sure?” An alternative approach would be to ask two reasonable and

simple questions. What else could it be? What’s the worst thing it could be?

I have a golden rule in practice: to treat each patient with the same degree of care I would want for a member of my family.

Art group seeks members Burnaby artists invited to check out the Heritage Life Drawing Society

Artists of all levels are invited to practise their skills in figurative drawing with the Heritage Life Drawing Society.

The non-profit group meets weekly at the Dance With Me Studio in downtown New Westminster, and Burnaby artists are being invited to join them.

A core group of artists has been meeting for close to five years, but the artists are actively looking for new members to bolster their ranks.

The artists gather on Sunday evenings from 6 to 9 p.m. at the studio.

Tables are available, but artists should bring their own supplies. The fee is $12 per session, covering the costs of a professional model and the rent for the studio.

“As in other disciplines, it is important to practise your skills,” group member Gillian Wright noted in an e-mail to the Burnaby NOW. “We would like to encourage all artists of all levels to consider the value in figurative drawing.”

The group also gives its members a chance to take part in a variety of local events, and members have had a showing at the Arts Council of New Westminster gallery in Queen’s Park.

Professor wins award for controversy SFU professor Mark Jaccard is the recipient of the 2010 Nora and Ted Sterling Prize in Support of Controversy.

Jaccard is an environmental economist whose work on sustainable energy and climate policy has garnered national and international acclaim and protest.

The prize will be presented on Oct. 5, at SFU’s Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue in Vancouver, preceding his Sterling Prize lecture titled Climate Controversies: The Saga Continues.

For nearly two decades, Jaccard has argued that our energy options should not be seen as a choice between good (renewable energy, energy efficiency, for example) and evil (such as fossil fuels or nuclear power).

He says greenhouse gas emissions will not decline unless climate policies are dominated by strong emissions pricing and regulations.

“Most governments have been unwilling to implement strong climate policies,

although they talk a good line about ambitious targets and faking-it policies,” says Jaccard in a media release. “I am proud, as a British Columbian, to say that here, our government has established policies that are a model for the world, but it has not been easy getting to this situation and there is much work ahead.”

Jaccard has provided evidence that subsidies are usually an ineffective policy and that energy efficiency is much more difficult to achieve than claimed by its advocates.

Jaccard teaches in SFU’s School of Resource and Environmental Management and served as chair and CEO of the B.C. Utilities Commission from 1992 to ‘97.

He is a member of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change team that shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize.

His lecture is free and open to the public, but seating is limited.

Dear Tom and Ray: In my infinite wisdom, I woke up early one Saturday morning and decided I would do something productive with my weekend.

Even though I’ve never attempted any sort of car repair in my life, I decided to change the front brake rotors on my 2006 Ford Ranger. I bought all the tools necessary for the job, cranked up the

radio and got the front passenger brake rotor replaced in just under 16 hours.

NNNNNice!

I took the car for a test drive, and the brakes did just fine, no issues. Then I moved on to the driver’s-side brake rotor, which took just about four hours, given all the experience I’d gained on the other side.

But then I had a problem: I went for a test drive, and my ABS system started to activate when I slowed down to under two mph or so. I can feel the pumping in the pedal and hear a bit of a humming noise.

Well, that was about five months ago, and unfortunately, the problem hasn’t worked itself out yet. I did some

RAY: There are two things you may have screwed up on your brakes. One is that you may have damaged the reluctor, or “chopper wheel.”

TOM: The reluctor is a disc that spins along with the wheel.

It has a series of notches on it, and the ABS wheel sensor uses those notches to determine how fast the wheel is turning.

If you cracked the reluctor while replacing the rotors, for instance, it could be causing the wheel sensor to read the wheel speed incorrectly.

RAY: But a more likely possibility is that you damaged an ABS sensor (there’s one on each wheel).

Knights lose to Van’s Fighting Irish Opening kickoff score set tone for Burnaby’s defeat Alfie Lau reporter

The St. Thomas More Knights were the perfect homecoming guest for the Vancouver College Fighting Irish.

The Irish scored on the opening kickoff, 16 seconds into the game, and never looked back as they beat the Knights 29-7 at O’Hagan Field in Vancouver.

Sean Mayzes returned the opening kickoff 94 yards and then hauled in an 85-yard TD pass from quarterback Jeff Tichelman with 23 seconds left in the first quarter to give the Irish a lead they would never relinquish.

The Irish also got 15 points from their multipurpose receiver and kicker Reiner Theil, who hauled in a 42-yard TD pass in the second quarter, made all three conversions, and added 21 and 26-yard field goals.

Irish defensive tackle Christian Covington – son of former CFL allstar Grover Covington – added the other Irish scoring, sacking Knights quarterback Mikey Carney

in the second quarter for a safety.

The Knights managed to avoid the goose egg by scoring in the final two minutes of the game, with running back Kyle Madden punching in a one-yard score that was set up by a 30-yard reception by Ross Hilliam.

“The start definitely hurt us,” said Knights head coach Bernie Kully. “We thought we were well prepared but little mistakes snowballed on us and led to big plays for them.”

Kully said he wasn’t surprised that College head coach Todd Bernett relied on Tichelman’s arm

to lead the Irish.

“We knew they’d probably do a lot of things in the air,” said Kully. “You’ve got to remember that Todd was an old quarterback himself.”

“I’m very happy with our intensity level,” said Bernett. “We got a great start and we just kept on

building on that start.”

Bernett said Theil gives him a lot of offensive options.

“As a receiver, he’s a big target,” said Bernett.

“And as a kicker, we’re comfortable having him try a 40-yard field goal. … As a coach, that’s a Knights Page 31

Lacrosse fans celebrate brotherhood of Mann Alfie Lau reporter

The River’s Reach pub in New Westminster was packed as if it were a Vancouver Canucks playoff game.

But it wasn’t Canada’s national winter sport that had everybody jumping for joy or biting their fingernails, it was Game 6 of the Mann Cup, Canada’s national summer sport.

The hometown ‘Bellies were fighting for their lives, ultimately losing 15-9 and the best-of-seven series 4-2 to the Peterborough Lakers.

But for the packed tables of lacrosse fans, it was a chance to celebrate the brotherhood that is Royal City lacrosse.

Jack Fulton just returned from Peterborough, where he watched his team play the first five games of the series.

“I had to be back because I’m organizing the (Salmonbellies) alumni golf tournament,” said Fulton. “They were all good

games, but our guys fell just a bit short.”

Fulton has four Mann Cup rings to his credit: 1958, 1959, 1962 and 1965.

Fulton said the task of winning out east for a western team is hard to do justice to.

“I think you have to be 25 per cent better and at this level, nobody’s 25 per cent better,” he said. “They’ve got guys like John Grant, Tracy Kelusky and John Tavares and those guys are pretty good.”

The mere mention of the Tavares name brings a smile to the face of Steve Goodwin.

Goodwin remembers the 42year-old superstar well.

“John actually came and played with us in Vancouver in 1990 when we went to the Mann Cup,” said the local real estate agent.

“He was 22 back then and we lost four straight to Brooklin.”

But that’s not the only memory Goodwin has of Tavares.

“One of those games, John did a doubleheader. He was playing

university football, I think for McGill, and he played an afternoon game at safety and played for us that night,” said Goodwin.

“That’s how good an athlete John is.”

Goodwin was an assistant to current coach Bob Salt, but with three kids, Goodwin left just as the ‘Bellies began their ascent back into the upper lacrosse echelons.

While Goodwin doesn’t have any Mann Cup rings to show off, his friend John Wilson won the coveted cup twice, but has only one ring to show for it.

“I won as a junior call-up by New West in 1989 and I also won in 2001 when I was with Coquitlam,” said Wilson. “I don’t have the 1989 ring because my place got broken into and that ring was stolen.”

Wilson doesn’t let that incident get him down, as he takes pleasure in ribbing Goodwin when the Realtor starts giving him the gears.

“I can’t hear you because my rings are clogging up my ears,”

said Wilson as he referenced a famous hockey put-down by goalie Patrick Roy to opposing centreman Jeremy Roenick.

Wilson said he should have had a third ring too, as he was an 18-year-old in 1986 when Casey Cook called and asked if he wanted to play in the playoffs for the senior Bellies.

“I had tickets to a Lions game at Empire Stadium,” said Wilson.

“So I told Casey that he should call up Brian Nikula. ... Nik gets called up and that’s the year they went out east and won the Mann Cup, the last time a western team has gone out and taken the Cup out east.”

Cook remembers that championship well, as that was the second of the four Cook would win.

“We beat Brooklin in six games and it was extremely difficult,” said the current New Westminster school trustee. “It was our fourth time going out east and that’s how long it took us to bring the Cup Mann Cup Page 31

Lucky number 13 for the Peterborough Lakers came at the expense of the unlucky New Westminster Salmonbellies.

The Lakers capped off their 13th Mann Cup victory on Friday with a 15-9 win in Game 6 over the Royal City squad that has now lost three straight Mann Cup finals.

“It’s harder each time you lose,” Salmonbellies general manager Dan Richardson said on Saturday afternoon. “The expectations are higher each time so it’s harder when you don’t meet those expectations.”

The ‘Bellies flew out of the starting gate, scoring the first two goals by 4:10 of the first, on markers from Jamie Floris and Pete McFetridge.

But the Lakers scrambled back to a 4-4 tie after the first period on the strength of a hat trick from Scott Evans and a goal and two assists from John Tavares.

“We felt very good after the first period,” said Richardson. “We got the start we were looking for.”

After the teams played a tight second period, marked by Evans’ fourth goal, the game turned in the final five seconds of the period when ‘Bellie Kyle Ross punched an unsuspecting Evans in the back of the head and received a five-minute roughing major.

The Lakers were holding an 8-6 lead at the time but opened the third period with two powerplay markers, with Evans’ younger brother Shawn scoring at 2:22 of the third, followed by Scott at 4:06.

“The Ross punch was something we didn’t need to do,” admitted Richardson. “Our PK (penalty killing) was doing a good job until that point but those Evans boys, they were dialled in.”

Scott Evans would finish with six goals and two assists on the night while ‘Bellies Page 31

blessing because I don’t feel obligated to have to go for it all the time.”

Kully did take some positives out of the game that went to running time – high school rules are that the clock is only stopped for timeouts and injuries once a team gets ahead by 29 points or more – for the entire second half.

“Positives, we started a lot of Grade 11s and they got a chance to learn that you have to keep getting better all the time,” said Kully. “Our best players were our leaders, Kyle, who just kept trying all game, Ross, who made some nice catches, and Mikey, who gave it everything he had.”

Cup series with 32 assists, breaking Josh Sanderson’s 2002 mark of 26 helpers in seven games.

The Lakers also got an eight-point effort from John Grant, who finished with a hat trick and five assists.

Richardson, fully aware that a Western team hasn’t gone to Ontario and won a Mann Cup since 1986, said his squad played well, but didn’t get any help from Lady Luck.

“We didn’t get too many bounces,” he said.

“I’m talking about not getting breaks on faceoffs, not getting the right

and three assists, Floris and Cliff Smith with two goals and an assist each, and Jordan McBride, who had a goal and two assists.

Wade Dewolff and Jordan Hall also scored for the ‘Bellies.

The ‘Bellies were buoyed by the first appearance of rookie Corbyn Tao, who missed the first five games because of school conflicts.

As for looking ahead to the future, Richardson said youth is on their side.

“Their average age is 28 and ours was 25, so we’re a young team,” he

three we lost.”

As for what changes the squad will need to make in 2011, Richardson said it’s too early for that talk to begin.

“We will get together and we’ll talk to our players and see what we need to do,” said Richardson.

“We’re not afraid to make changes but today (Saturday) is too soon to think about that. We fly back home Sunday, and we’ll start thinking about next year after that.”

back home.”

Cook, with championship rings in 1981, 1989 and 1991 as well, said the biggest problem back then was hydration.

“Our guys were losing 10 to 12 pounds a game, the place was so humid,” said Cook. “Our guys were getting stomach cramps and we had to make sure everybody was always hydrated.”

As the new Salmonbellies went down to defeat, the old ‘Bellies could only offer encouragement.

“Their time will come,” said Fulton. “They’ve got such a great young team, and they’ve got a good team leading them.”

“We went to 11 Mann Cup finals in 16 years and we won four,” said Cook. “Just getting there is tough but winning is even tougher.” alau@burnabynow.com

A career in

With the number of apprentices expected to double in the next year, Kent Orrock believes we’re seeing the first steps of a renewed respect for the trades. He now entertains several phone calls a day regarding applications to apprenticeship programs and inquiries about how to get involved in this steadily growing industry.

Mr. Orrick, the human resources co-ordinator for the British Columbia Road Builders and Heavy Construction Association welcomes the interest. “It can only help recruitment efforts when it becomes a point of pride for parents to have a son or daughter who is a ‘dozer operator, pulling down as much as $42 an hour.”

After decades of fighting negative perceptions about the boom-and-bust nature of employment and the hard work in construction and other heavyindustry sectors, there has been a steady increase of interest in a career in the trades. “They’re getting in at a time when they will definitely be able to [work until they] retire in this industry,” says Orrock.

The federal government has recently proposed tax incentives for employers who take on apprentices, and grants for individuals who sign on for skilled trades training. Sighting a serious shortage of trades people, the federal government is now attempting to make the lucrative trade industry even more enticing to prospective employees.

“The difficulty Canadian employers are having finding skilled tradespeople is becoming an impediment to economic growth,” the government said in its budget documents. “Meanwhile, many young Canadians find themselves in low-paying work, and are either not encouraged to consider the trades or are unable to do so because of financial barriers.”With measures to give employers tax credits of up to $2,000 a year for the first two years that they employ and train eligible apprentices, and as well as cash grants of $1,000 a year to eligible apprentices in the first two years of their training, the federal government is stepping up the push for

more Canadians to consider a career in the trades.

The federal government projects that nearly 100,000 apprentice workers will benefit as a result of the new grant and tax credit. Industry associations and community colleges have also stepped up their efforts to recruit and train the next generation of trades people.In past years, there has been a strong amount of pressure from teachers, parents and friends to go to university.

Opportunities in the trades have often been overlooked. This is gradually changing, in part because of industry association campaigns and promising labour market projections.

The common misconception that the impending retirement of baby boomers will open up jobs in all fields, across all sectors, is slowly being replaced by a better understanding of how the boomers’ withdrawl from the marketplace will shape the next few years. “The reality is that the most pronounced [recruitment] challenges are going to be for skilled trades and apprenticeships on the one hand, and executive management talent on the other,” says Ian Cullwick, national human capital practice leader with Toronto-based managing consulting firm Deloitte.

With trade shortages already affecting some sectors, employers are taking a more active role in the training and education of their future employees. The B. C. Road Builders and Heavy Industry Association, for example, has developed and launched a new program combining classroom training with on-the-job instruction to support a number of highway and port-building megaprojects currently in the works. The first stage of the program, which is being paid for by industry, is designed to teach the basics of road building and heavy construction.

“The aim is to give them a really good essential knowledge about the equipment that’s going to be used and how to maintain that equipment,” he says. “They’ll also be taught the basics of civil engineering, so they’ll know about grades, aggregates and environmental issues.” Says Orrock.

From there students can move on to apprenticeships in asphalt paving or specialized construction jobs. It gives them a starting point to continue working with heavy equipment like backhoes, excavators, bulldozers, graders and 50-ton trucks, or work.

Mr. Orrock says that members of his association are committed to providing management training, in addition to hard-skills training, for those interested in moving into supervisory and management positions later in their careers.

Meanwhile, Mr. Orrock describes his ideal candidates. “We’re looking for people who like to work outside and who don’t want to sit in an office.” If this sounds like you, we’ve made your search that much easier.

Given the incredible (and growing) demand for qualified tradespeople in Canada and around the world, Trades has become the hottest area in training at colleges and career colleges across the country.

Take Your Career in a New Direction Continued from previous page

NEW HORIZONS Now that you’ve identified why it is time to move on, follow some key strategies for making a smooth transition into a new career.

1. Make a list of likes and dislikes: Did you get into your current career because you needed money right away or you had no other options at the time? Don’t feel bad; many people assume careers out of necessity rather than a genuine interest in that field.

Now’s your time to jot down what you really like to do. What are your hobbies? How do you like to spend your time? It’s easy to focus on what you don’t like to do, but assessing what you enjoy can put you on the path to a career that may be better suited. There are even career assessment tests and services that can help you if you truly are unsure.

2. Explore what’s out there: Try and match up careers to your interests. For example, if you love animals you may consider becoming the owner of a pet shop or study to be a veterinarian. How much research you do will depend on just how drastic the change will be. For example, switching from salesperson to a marketing executive might not be as big of a change

as a salesperson investigating becoming a broadcast journalist. And don’t forget that no matter how large the career leap may seem, it’s likely you have certain skills (communication, ability to work with a team, general office skills) that can be transferred seamlessly to a new career.

3. Consider education and training: There are times when you won’t have all the skills needed and returning to school or enrolling in a training course is a wise idea. This may involve extra financing, so engage in education only when you have firmly decided on a new career path.

4. Be flexible: Remember, you are really starting out from scratch when entering a new career and won’t have the level of seniority your current career or company allows. You may have to make concessions in job location and salary in order to feel more satisfied in your work.

5. Try a new career on for size: You can do temp work or volunteer in the career you’re considering to see if it’s all you thought it would be. This way you don’t get in over your head or find out it wasn’t the challenge you imagined.
