PUBLIC APPEAL

Seniors’ home in trouble Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

A local seniors’ home is in financial peril and at risk of closing by the end of the month. “We’re at the 99th hour,” said Colleen Saunders, resident coordinator of Abbeyfield Burnaby, a small non-profit seniors home. “We’re facing a potential foreclosure at the end of the month.” Saunders spoke to the NOW on behalf of herself, not the board that runs the non-profit society. The problem is the home doesn’t have enough residents – they can house 20 but only have nine – which means less income to run the place. Saunders is making an appeal to the community to step forward with donations. Abbeyfield needs $15,000 to pay the mortgage for the next two months to buy time for the board to figure out what to do next. “This is about saving my job, my home, my seniors’ homes and the Abbeyfield way of life,” Saunders said. “This is not just an institution, this is a home.” Abbeyfield is part of a larger movement of non-profit seniors’ homes, often run by volunteers. The homes are designed for roughly 10 to 15 people who live like a family to reduce isolation and loneliness. There are more than 1,000 Abbeyfield homes worldwide; they are all independent of each other but share the same philosophy. Abbeyfield Page 8

tary Alan James concerned about the construction stage of the project. “Anything that goes into the storm drain goes into the creek,” he said. “We would like to see a plan to deal with the sediment.” The Evergreen Line environmental assessment is currently in the review process, and a certificate on the assessment is expected in early 2011, according to Jeff Knight, spokesperson for the ministry of transportation and infrastructure. The Evergreen Line is slated to run from-

Lougheed Town Centre to Coquitlam Town Centre. Funding options for the project are currently being considered. The concern James has, which he submitted in both stages of public consultation for the environmental assessment, is that construction could increase sediment, which goes into the storm sewers and flows into Stoney Creek. James suggested the possibility of using temporary retention ponds to prevent silt runoff.

PROVINCIAL POLITICS

Corrigan to chair caucus Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Local MLA Kathy Corrigan is the NDP’s new acting caucus chair, following Norm Macdonald’s decision to step down. Macdonald, MLA for Columbia River-Revelstoke, left the role of chair following leader Carole James’s expulsion of Bob Simpson from the party after he publicly criticized her speech for the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. “I think it all has to do with Bob Simpson,” Corrigan said of Macdonald’s decision. Corrigan was previously vicechair, and her position is temporary until a new chair is voted in. Corrigan declined to comment on caucus discussions in detail but expressed support for James while it appears the NDP is struggling with internal dissent over James’s leadership. “We’re not supposed to talk about stuff that happens in caucus,” Corrigan said. “Carole has an awful lot of support in caucus. This was upsetting that Bob decided to leave and Norm decided to leave, and he didn’t agree with the way it was handled.” Burnaby’s other New Democrat MLA, Raj Chouhan, also stood behind his leader. “Oh, she’s wonderful,” Chouhan said. He said criticism coming from within the party was natural, and that no leader is totally free from criticism. Liberal MLA Harry Bloy said while there may be criticism from within a party, it doesn’t necessarily mean that that person gets kicked out of caucus. “They’ve got lots of people with leadership ambitions, and I think this is just the cracking point,” Bloy said. “You start to see some of the old boys’ network in the NDP coming forward.” Bloy said the New Democrats feel pretty good about themselves and think they’re going to win the next election. “This just shows the style of leadership they’ll have if they get elected. They can’t keep the knives out of anyone’s back,” he said.

Metrotown murder: Members of the Burnaby RCMP and the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team investigate the Metrotown parking spot where a Vancouver gangster was shot to death on Saturday afternoon.

Man killed in targeted shooting Alfie Lau

staff reporter

A longtime Vancouver gangster was shot and killed in the Metropolis at Metrotown shopping centre parking lot on Saturday afternoon in what police are calling a “very targeted” shooting. The shooting occurred just before 6 p.m. in the ground level parking lot adjacent to the Sears and The Bay. When police arrived, they found a black BMW SUV with a dead man inside. On Monday, police investigators identified that man as 32-year-old longtime Vancouver gangster and convicted killer Gurmit Singh Dhak.

Cpl. Dale Carr of the RCMP’s Integrated Homicide Investigation Team said Dhak was alone in the black BMW, though other witnesses said that his wife and kids were nearby. “The shopping centre was open at the time of the shooting, however, there were very few shopping patrons in the parking lot at the time of the incident,” Carr said at a Saturday evening press conference. Carr added the murder appears “very targeted.” Dhak was shot in the face, which is often the mark of a professional hit. Dhak and his brother Sukhveer have a long list of enemies. Gurmit Dhak refused to help police catch the masked gunmen who shot him in

September 2007 while he was at a birthday party at Quattro on Fourth in Vancouver. Dhak, who has been associated with a criminal organization dubbed “Billy’s Crew,” was charged in 2005 with uttering threats to Vancouver police who stopped his Lexus SUV after it had been shot up outside Club Uranus, a strip bar at 315 East Broadway in Vancouver. At the time, police said Dhak was “very confrontational, very uncooperative with police, and he made some threats.” In April 2003, he got seven years in jail for the 1999 slaying of a 19-year-old who was shot in the head by a passenger in Dhak’s vehicle, after Dhak lowered the window so Shooting Page 4

No easy answers to gang violence Alfie Lau

staff reporter

On the first weekday back after a Saturday afternoon shooting at Burnaby’s busiest mall, Burnaby’s top cop said he’s very worried about the escalating levels of gang violence in the region. “I’m very concerned about this,” said Chief Supt. Rick Taylor of the Burnaby RCMP. “What concerns me is the wanton disregard for the safety of people in the community and of the police officers who have to try to ensure public safety.” Taylor said the Saturday afternoon shooting of 32-year-old longtime Vancouver gangster and convicted killer Gurmit Singh Dhak

in a Metropolis at Metrotown parking lot troubles him on many levels. “There may not have been a lot of people in the area, but you never know where the bullets are going to end up,” said Taylor. “It’s not impossible that an innocent passerby would have been hurt and that concerns me greatly.” Taylor said the welfare of the officers under his command is also important. “We have officers who regularly patrol in the area,” said Taylor. “My worst fear is that an innocent member of the public or one of my members is hit by an errant bullet. … My officers are trying to protect the community, and any time members of the community or

my officers are put in danger, these are the things that keep me awake at night.” Burnaby’s top cop said that while the murder took place in Burnaby, it could have happened anywhere in the Lower Mainland. “It was a very, very targeted hit. It happened to happen at Metrotown. It happened where the intended target was found in a vulnerable place,” said Taylor. “This is not about stepping up patrols at Metrotown, it’s about how we look at and approach the overall problem of gang violence.” Taylor said gang violence has been on the radar for the region’s top cops, ever since the Oct 2007 Surrey Six killings led to a wave of

the killer could take aim. At the time of the shooting, Dhak was on probation and under a court-imposed curfew. When the former South Slope gangster was arrested, police discovered two loaded guns and three balaclavas hidden in an airbag compartment in the vehicle. The guns were linked to a December 1998 non-fatal shooting of five men at the New Lucky Garden Restaurant. Carr said forensic identification specialists conducted a comprehensive examination of the Metrotown scene fairly near the Sears store in the mall. “During the preliminary examination

of the scene, it appears as though no other vehicle in the vicinity was struck by any of the shots fired,” Carr said. The Metropolis at Metrotown shopping centre has extensive video coverage throughout the exterior of their buildings and will be turning over that footage to police.

Dear Editor:

Re: Campaign targets Lennikov, Burnaby NOW, Oct. 13. Lubomyr Luciuk, director of research for the Ukrainian Canadian Civil Liberties Association claims, Mr. Mikhail Lennikov, must be forcibly removed from the sanctuary of Vancouver’s First Lutheran Church and shipped back to Russia – the reason being that Lennikov was a low-level functionary of the KGB for a five-year period during the ‘80s. The federal government has declared Mr. Lennikov persona non grata, therefore according to Mr. Luciuk, he has no grounds, compassionate or otherwise, to remain on Canadian soil. His sole accusation is based on “the law is the law.” In that case, what is his defence for requesting the federal government rescind its decree that church property is a legal refuge for individual? He appears to be emphatic that the law is the law only when it suits his desires. Mr. Luciuk’s opinion is in line with the

dictatorial views he claims to despise. It is clear that double standards are at play regarding his view. If he says the law is the law in relationship to immigrants, he must abide by the law is the law regarding places of safe haven for immigrants. Brian J. O’Neill, Burnaby

Dear Editor:

Re: Religion doesn’t build civilization, Burnaby NOW, Oct. 16. I found Jack Chivo’s letter on the matter of it being nonsensical to mention the faith or lack thereof of various scientists, artists, poets etc. etc. to be a very interesting take on the matter as it concerns Muslims and others. However, I think it a bit nonsensical on his part to totally ignore it. Many of these people, in pre-Reformation Europe were monks and priests and nuns, and most learning of the sort was in fact done in monasteries and paid and funded for by the faithful, in their search for the truth. But what I find most intriguing is how Mr. Chivo is aware of the attendance at religious services at various churches, temples, mosques, etc. Has he attended them all? I know that where I sometimes go to mass just over Boundary, there are so many bums in pews that I often have to stand throughout the service. There is no doubt that attendance at most places of worship is down, yet it is estimated that 5,000 Canadians will be present in Rome for the canonization of the little doorman of Montreal called Brother André. Gee, I wonder how many rock bands would draw that many that far for a concert? Larry Bennett, Burnaby

NDP: Is ideology in the way? hold on the job? In recent weeks, James can point to several things that cast her in a good light. She spoke at a corporate fundraiser that oversold its target (250) by almost 100 per cent (400 tickets were sold). She received glowing coverage in a special Globe and Mail section on powerful Canadian women leaders. And the latest poll pegs NDP support at 49 per cent, more than double the support for the B.C. Liberals. But there are those within the NDP who resent her attempt to modernize the party, expand its support, and to push it more toward the political middle, and away from the left and organized labour (think

Tony Blair in Britain). For some of these people, their rigid ideology will never allow them to embrace James’ non-ideological approach. They would rather lose an election than compromise their ideological positions. Meanwhile, James’ troubles have given Premier Gordon Campbell and his government a brief respite from the pounding they’ve been getting over various issues, notably the HST. But Campbell must face his own leadership vote at the party convention next month, and it is by no means a sure thing that he’ll score a high number. However, unlike the New Democrats, the B.C. Liberals are sticking

together. Other than Blair Lekstrom quitting the caucus back in June over the HST, there has been no sign of public discontent from the caucus ranks. The two parties’ marked difference when it comes to dealing with problems with leadership brings to mind that famous line from the Godfather movies: “It’s not personal. It’s just business.” That would seem to be the B.C. Liberal motto as they begin to deal with the leadership question. But the NDP seem to have turned that line around. For them, the attacks on James show their motto is: “It’s not business. It’s just personal.” Keith Baldrey is chief political correspondent for Global B.C.

Abbeyfield: Seniors’ home is in jeopardy continued from page 1

Abbeyfield Burnaby markets itself as an affordable seniors’ residence for people who can live independently. Rent is $1,675 per month and includes meals. Because seniors live independently, Abbeyfield doesn’t qualify for government funding, although two residents can get subsidies from B.C. Housing if needed. Karin Litzcke’s mother-in law is staying at Abbeyfield. If the place closes, Litzcke will likely have to move her into a larger, less intimate home where staff is less able to respond to residents’ individual needs. “There are a lot of other nice places out there that she can live, but I’m worried about the prospect of having to move her again, because the moves are so stressful,” Litzcke said. Litzcke said because Abbeyfield is small and has a low profile that it has consistently struggled to fill its units in recent years. There’s also talk of Atira Women’s Resource Society possibly taking over the home, but Litzcke has concerns about that may mean a change in target clientele. Atira mostly houses women escaping violence. Litzcke said Abbeyfield is unique because it’s small and quiet, but it’s somewhat overshadowed by bigger homes with hundreds of residents. “I believe there are more seniors for whom small, quiet and self-reliant fits the bill better,” Litzcke said. “Not everyone wants to enter a community of over 200 new people when they are in their 80s.” Litzcke and Saunders have been in touch with local MLA Kathy Corrigan about the problem.

Stay warm, cozy & comfy

Larry Wright/burnaby now

Home for now: Karin Litzcke with her mother-in-law at Abbeyfield House. The seniors’ residence is faced with potential closure if it can’t bring in more money to meet its mortgage payments.

“It provides a really nice service. I guess they say it’s kind of a niche type of residence, not for everybody but perfect for people who want a smaller setting,” Corrigan said. Corrigan said she helped out by giving Abbeyfield some contact information for places where the home might be able to recruit more residents. “(But) that doesn’t help them with their short-term financial crunch,” she added. “They don’t get government funding, and that’s another challenge for them.” Corrigan said Abbeyfield is a benefit to the whole community, and it’s up to individuals to decide if it’s a

resource worth investing in through donating. To try and keep the place afloat, Saunders has pledged $1,000 of her own money if $15,000 can be raised by Oct. 28. Saunders e-mailed her plea to 200 people somehow connected to Abbeyfield or seniors’ causes. “I have a little saying, a sticker I put on my computer, and it talks about the power of one and the might of many. And if you think about those words, all it is is one little idea, and you never know where that one little idea might go,” Saunders said. To make a donation, contact Abbeyfield at 604-205-9350.

Benefit helps Lennikovs There is a French baroque benefit concert on Oct. 29 for Mikhail Lennikov, a Burnaby resident and former KGB agent living in sanctuary to avoid deportation. A Company of Instruments Baroque Orchestra is presenting the show on Friday, Oct. 29 at 7:30 p.m. in First Lutheran Church, 5745 Wales St. Vancouver. Admission is by donation, and money raised will benefit the Lennikov family. Mikhail has been living at First Lutheran since June 2009. His wife, Irina, and son, Dmitri, are also staying there. “The family is doing as well as can be expected in light of a government that refuses to budge on its policy or display its ‘com-

passionate and humanitarian’ side,” wrote the church’s pastor, Richard Hergesheimer, in an e-mail announcing the show. “Cheers and best wishes to you all, and thanks for not forgetting Mikhail and his family. Your concern and care, expressed in e-mails, letters, phone calls and even the occasional donations continue to be a source of encouragement.” Lennikov is facing deportation because he worked for the KGB for five years during the ‘80s. He came to Canada on a student visa in 1997 with his family. Although Lennikov has argued he’s not a threat to national security, he has exhausted all legal efforts to stay in Canada.

Transit: Environmental group worried about impacts continued from page 1

In his comment on July 15, during the second public consultation for the environmental assessment, James asked the province to coordinate with the cities of Burnaby, Coquitlam and Port Moody to create a composite map of the storm sewer system. Because the line does not cross over Stoney Creek, it was not included in the study area for the environmental assessment certificate application. However, the application states that the creek was considered in the application because of possible impacts from the stormwater system. “Drainage design measures to be incorporated into the Evergreen Line guideway will ensure that surface run-off from the guideway is directed away from Stoney Creek and its tributaries, either through a connection to the storm sewer system or infiltration to the ground,” the environmental assessment stated. “Therefore, no impacts to the creek during project operation are anticipated.” Stoney Creek is not mentioned specifically in the construction stage planning segment, which concerned James. However, the assessment does state that a surface erosion prevention and sediment control plan is being developed for the construction stage of the project. James is going to a stakeholder session on the Evergreen Line next week to find out more about what’s planned for the construction stage. He is also concerned about the proposed Simon Fraser University gondola project, which is being looked at by TransLink. A preliminary feasibility study, prepared by SFU’s Community Trust – which is in charge of overseeing the UniverCity project – was presented to TransLink. Doppelmayr Garaventa Group, which

built Whistler’s Peak 2 Peak gondola, was behind the feasibility study, conducted by Bryce Tupper in 2009. The study references information collected by the City of Burnaby and AXYS Environmental in 1997. “If a decision is made to proceed with the Burnaby Mountain Gondola Transit Project, the environmental impact to the conservation area will likely be minimal because gondola construction techniques can limit disturbance to the small footprints surrounding the tower locations,” the feasibility study stated. “Nonetheless, the AXYS report will provide a significant resource for understanding any potential impact from the construction of towers.” James is worried because, at the time of the study, a fish ladder at the BNR railroad crossing and improvements to culverts along Lougheed Highway were not in place. Today, there are more spawning and juvenile salmon further up the mountain than there were more than a decade ago, James said. Ken Hardie, spokesperson for TransLink, said plans for the gondola are in the preliminary stages, and it is simply a business case study at this point. So far, TransLink has received seven responses to a request for proposals for the business case study. Hardie added that, if the gondola project is approved to go ahead, an environmental impact study would have to be done, based on the preferred or desired route. During last year’s spawner count, chum, coho and pink salmon, and cutthroat trout, were spotted. In total, 775 live salmon and trout were counted, and the majority were Chum salmon, with 293 dead fish also counted. www.twitter.com/janayafe

The Burnaby Archives has been given the funds to increase shelving space. Burnaby city council approved a request on Oct. 4 for $174,000 for high-density shelving for the archives. 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 a report from the heritage commission. The shelving could increase the archives’ capacity by 75 per cent. The installation would use the current shelves but compact them, while adding additional shelving units. Archival material would have to be moved for about a month during the installation. The request included $2,000 for storage. Council also approved a request for funding to digitize the archives’ oral history recordings.

Cemetery walk celebrates iconic women Tour set for Oct. 24 to mark Women’s History Month Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

Burnaby residents can celebrate Women’s History Month with a champion diver and the first female MLA to have an active portfolio. Irene MacDonald and Tilly Jean Rolston are two of the eight inspiring women featured in October’s Ocean View cemetery walk. The walk, led by genealogist Diane Rogers, is being conducted on Oct. 24 to celebrate Women’s History Month. The tour will also look at unique markers and epitaphs, and Rogers will give tips on how to research the gravestones, from a genealogical point of view. “We go from looking at gravestones, to how to research them further,” Rogers said. It is her first official tour with the Burnaby Village Museums walking tours, although she has given talks for the museum. Rogers intends to focus on eight women for the tour. MacDonald won her first national diving championship for women’s three-metre springboard in 1951 and was Canada’s national diving champion again in ’52, and yearly from 1954 to 1961. She also won a bronze medal in the three-metre springboard at the 1956 Olympic Games. MacDonald coached athletes for 30 years following her diving career and actively advocated on behalf of the sport. She was inducted into the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame, the Canadian Aquatic Hall of Fame and the Olympic Hall of Fame. She covered diving events for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation from the 1976 Summer Olympics to the 1988 Summer Olympics. MacDonald, born Nov. 22, 1931, died on June 20, 2002. She is buried at Ocean View Burial Park. Tilly Jean Rolston was born in Vancouver in 1887. She attended the University of British Columbia and later the Vancouver Normal School.

Larry Wright/burnaby now

Tales from the crypt: Genealogist Diane Rogers is leading a tour of Ocean View cemetery on Sunday, Oct. 24. The tour, held to celebrate Women’s History Month, will focus on the stories of some inspiring women. She taught at a Vancouver school until 1909, when she married Frederick James Rolston. She entered politics in 1941 as a Progressive Conservative MLA. She was the first Canadian woman to cross the floor, sitting as an independent in 1951 and running as a Social Credit candidate in 1952, under W.A.C. Bennett. As education minister, she was the first Canadian woman to hold a cabinet post with a portfolio. She died in office in 1953 at the age of 66 and was the first Canadian woman to

receive a state funeral. She is also buried at Ocean View. The tour also includes the grave of Mildred Neilson, which includes a drinking fountain memorial. Neilson – a nurse at the Trail-Tadanac Hospital Trail, B.C. – was shot by a war veteran, Pat Hanley, in 1925. Hanley was known to Neilson’s family and had been asked to deliver a tin of cookies to her by her mother in Vancouver, according to the www.trailhistory.com website. He had seen doctors before his death,

saying he had suicidal thoughts, the website stated. He shot himself after killing Neilson. These three intriguing women and many others can be found at Ocean View. The tour of the cemetery, which opened in 1919, takes place on Sunday, Oct. 24 from 1 to 2:30 p.m. The cost is $15, and registration is required. To register, phone or visit the museum or any Burnaby recreation centre or use the WebReg system register online. jfuller-evans@burnabynow.com

Byrne Creek pitches in to clean up the streets HERE & NOW

Jennifer Moreau

tudents and teachers at Byrne Creek Secondary armed themselves with gloves and garbage pickers to clean up the school grounds and the surrounding neighbourhood on Oct. 5. The school’s Leo Club

organized the effort, and about 350 staff and students helped. Besides cleaning the streets close by, they also picked up garbage at nearby Stride Elementary.The idea was to clean up the neighbourhood and instill a sense of pride and shared responsibility for the upkeep of the community. The Leo Club is a youth service organization sponsored by the Edmonds Lions Club.

New faces

There are some new

people at the helm of education groups in Burnaby. Richard Storch is the new president of the Burnaby Teachers’ Association, replacing Marianne Neill. The association is a local branch of the provincewide B.C. Teachers’ Federation. Storch was a past vicepresident of the association and a social studies teacher at Burnaby North and Burnaby Mountain secondaries. Burnaby North music and French teacher James Sanyshyn is the new vice-president, and Gilpin

Elementary teacher Pamela Park is the new officer-atlarge/grievance officer, a post akin to second vicepresident. Storch said the association will focus on bargaining (since teachers will renew their contract with the provincial government) and the campaign against the Foundation Skills Assessment tests, as well as things like professional development for teachers and member involvement. The association will also continue with the Sock it to Poverty campaign, an

effort to collect socks for the homeless. The district-wide parents advisory council also has a new leader. Jennifer Mezei is the new president, and Dave Dye is now vicepresident. They basically switched positions from last year. Dye said the council will focus on parent education, mainly helping parents be better at parenting and fostering their children’s education.

Games grant

A charity called S’Cool Life Fund gave Forest

Grove Elementary a $2,000 grant on Oct. 4 for outdoor sports equipment and extracurricular games. Forest Grove was one of 232 elementary schools across the country that got grants. For more information on the charity, visit www.scoollifefund.ca.

TASTE

Peanut butter can add flavour to many recipes ON COOKING

Chef Dez

s a child, I remember when I first discovered the taste of a peanut butter and banana sandwich. The contrasting flavours of salty nuttiness and the sweetness opened up a whole new world for me. I then started searching for other ways to indulge my newly established passion for peanut butter. Spreading a spoonful of it on each bite of an apple was my favourite. My fascination of peanut butter has matured since then, and I have discovered many ways to use this household pantry staple. The most important thing to keep in mind, however, is the growing number of peanut allergies in people. Always inquire with dinner guests to discover any allergies you may not be aware of before planning a menu. Peanut butter has been in existence for hundreds

of years and is a regular food item in over 70 per cent of households. Peanut butter, in moderation, is a good part of a balanced diet and a source of protein. Although it contains a large amount of fat, approximately 80 per cent of the fat content is unsaturated. Unsaturated fats have been proven to help reduce levels of LDLcholesterol (the bad cholesterol) without lowering HDL-cholesterol (the good one). If the healthy aspect is your focus, however, you are much better off with natural peanut butters where the ingredients are just peanuts. Peanut

ever have tahini on hand, peanut butter is a wonderful alternative. It is the same consistency as tahini, and the flavour depth that the peanut butter adds to the recipe is incredible. In addition to these uses there are many desserts that feature the wonderful taste of peanut butter.

I cannot stress enough to take advantage of the free resources like the library and the Internet for an abundant amount of recipes. Experimenting in the kitchen is the pathway to creating recipes that you can call your own and take pride in.

Leaves are a benefit to compost bins GREEN SCENE

Anne Marrison

very fall sees gardeners with garbage bags roaming neighbourhoods and collecting leaves under boulevard trees or picking them up readybagged from non-gardening neighbours. If they were scarce, leaves would cost big bucks because they’re rich in carbons, minerals and fibre – brought up to the surface by the long, deep roots of trees. Every autumn, when the leaves fall, they nourish the top layers of soil. Leaves can be used in general compost heaps, composted separately for leaf mould or spread on garden beds as a mulch. Actually, where the leaf layer isn’t hugely thick, fallen leaves can be left on perennial beds where they protect plants against winter cold, compaction of the soil and germination of cool-season weeds. But leaves do need to be raked up from lawns since they tend to smother grass. Grass benefits from light and air during winter

since it doesn’t hide underground as many perennials do. No matter where you put them, leaves break down much faster if you rake them, then shred them by running over the pile with a lawnmower. If you plan to do this repeatedly for a fine shred, you may have to rake them between runs or use the lawnmower bag and keep rebuilding the pile. Time-short gardeners who want to add leaves to a compost bin can mow the unraked lawn, collect grass clippings and leaves together and add them asis to the compost. It’s not perfect, but the nitrogen in the grass and carbon in the leaves roughly balances, and the job gets done fast. Some people keep bags of raked leaves through the winter, then add one bag at a time to compost in the spring when moist, green waste is abundant but brown carbon is hard to find. Fall or spring, leaves can be safely shredded by being dumped in a garbage pail and attacked with a weedwhacker. It only takes a few minutes for a tubful of leaves to be reduced to a few inches of shredded leaf bits. This reduction in volume is the reason why people who want leaf mould

need to gather many, many bags of leaves. Neighbours are often very cooperative – especially in jurisdictions where city governments levy a fee for collecting compostable materials. For leaf-mould, gardeners really need to shred the leaves well. It’s the only way to see the approximate quantity you’ll end up with – and usually the only way to ensure the leaves will definitely be decomposed in a year. It’s worth the effort because aside from their high nutriment level, leaf mould retains moisture beautifully. Some leaves need shredding because they’re slow to break down. This includes waxy leaves like holly and laurel and large leaves like cottonwood, paulownia and big leaf maple. These need to be shredded even for compost unless they’re destined for a compost pile that won’t be used for two or three years. Some gardeners claim toxins in black walnut leaves vanish after six weeks of composting. So far I’ve not tested this out. But leaves of poisonous perennials like lupins, foxgloves and daffodils are safe once they’re broken down in the compost. Send garden questions to amarrison@shaw.ca.

Night fundraiser on Nov. 15, put on by the Shooting Stars Foundation.

Don’t just talk about making a change.

Stars sing for benefit

Do it. Call us today.

Twenty-five years ago, the first Starry Night concert was held on Granville Island, staged by the Shooting Stars Foundation. It’s still going strong – and the next edition is coming up Nov. 15, with some Burnaby talent in the lineup. The concert is set for 8 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 15 at the Stanley Industrial Alliance Stage in Vancouver. “This magical, musical smorgasbord has inspired devoted fans to return year after year and continues to win a whole legion of new ones,” a press release says. The evening includes performances by wellknown favourites as well as some emerging talent. Among them is David Sinclair of Burnaby, who is well known for his guitar talents – he played in Sarah McLachlan’s band from 1993 to 2003 and with k.d. lang from 1992 to 1995. As a studio guitarist, he has worked with many Canadian artists, including Amy Sky, Rita MacNeil, Valdy, Terry Jacks, the Irish Rovers and more. For the Starry Night concert, he’ll be performing with veteran singer-instrumentalist Keith Bennett. See his website at www. davidsinclairmusic.com for more about Sinclair. Also from Burnaby, Alita Dupray will bring her soulful song stylings to the stage. “Alita pours bluesy woe, spinning a web of purring delight, illuminating both lyric and melody with a sound and feel obviously her own,” says a bio of Dupray. They’ll be joined by an array of other performers including Rae Armour, Jim Byrnes, Linda Kidder,

Jane Mortifee, Sibel Thrasher, Tom Landa of the Paperboys, and many, many more. The Shooting Stars Foundation produces special events to help people living with HIV and AIDS. For more on their work,

visit the website at www. shootingstarsfoundation. org. Tickets for the concert are $32 and $40, available online at www.vancouver tix.com or by calling 604629-8849. jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

MOTORING Time for new mechanic? CLICK & CLACK TALK CARS Ray & Tom Magliozzi

Dear Tom and Ray: I have a 2002 Subaru Forrester. Upon my monthly check of fluids, I was shocked to see that there was no cooling fluid in the reservoir. I immediately took it to the shop, where they told me the head gasket was blown, and it would cost $2,000 to fix. After doing some research, I found that Subaru had a service bulletin about this problem and advocated the use of a special Subaru additive for the coolant that could “possibly” stop the leak. So, I asked the mechanics to put the additive in my coolant. My mechanics then advised that I should just drive the car until it overheats, and only then fix my head gasket. So I have two questions: (1) Is it truly possible that this “additive” will fix my leak? And (2) if the additive doesn’t fix my leak, should I really wait until my car overheats to fix it? Thanks. – Catherine TOM: It is possible that the additive will fix your leak. For years, Subaru has had problems with its head gaskets “seeping.” They would remain intact (i.e., not torn or broken), but would allow fluid to seep through or around them. And if your head gasket is just seeping, and not actually blown, the additive may work. RAY: I’ve tried the additive on my scalp, but somehow bald spots are still seeping into the regions where I

once had hair. TOM: The fact that you check your levels every month is actually discouraging to us, Catherine. Because that means the coolant reservoir went from full to empty in less than a month. That suggests that the solution may involve your home equity line in addition to the additive. But by all means, try the additive first. RAY: But don’t just wait for the engine to overheat. That’s bad advice. TOM: Right. Let’s say your head gasket really is broken. You try the additive, it doesn’t work and the car overheats. If it overheats badly enough, you could crack or warp the heads or damage the block. Or you could degrade the oil so badly that you damage the engine’s bearings, which will shorten the life of the engine considerably. So you really don’t want the car to overheat, ever. RAY: Instead, now that the additive is in there, check your coolant reservoir every day for a while. See if you can assess whether the level is continuing to drop, and if so, how quickly. If it stops losing coolant, then have your garage do a pressure test and, hopefully, proclaim the problem solved. TOM But if the coolant level continues to drop, you want to find someone to fix it before the car overheats. And I’d suggest that that person be a different mechanic. RAY: Right. Your current guys didn’t know about the Subaru additive, and they gave you bad advice about what to do next. Ask friends who own Subarus who they use in your area. Or check out the Mechanics Files at www.cartalk.com.

Maximize resale value Depreciation is a major factor in buying and selling a vehicle. The average auto can lose 30 per cent of its value after the first year. There are ways to reduce a vehicle’s depreciation and improve its resale value. Some tips: ◗ Buy the “right” car in the first place. Some models and brands simply hold their value better than others. ◗ Stick to standard colours. Fad colours such as lime green or bright orange may turn heads, but they’ll be harder to find buyers for later on. ◗ Choose the right upgrades. A fancy stereo system or topof-the-line navigation system won’t necessarily add value to the vehicle. However, leather seats, a sunroof and an automatic transmission are popular among buyers. ◗ Maintain the vehicle. Keep records of maintenance that show the car was well cared for. Follow manufacturers’ maintenance schedule. – MetroCreative, courtesy Postmedia News Services

SFU curlers ready to take on world University athletes add curling to academic load

Alfie Lau

reporter

Steven Kopf and Mark Bradshaw are student athletes at Simon Fraser University and can boast about playing world champions, Canadian champions and provincial champions. But you wouldn’t know that from the unassuming way they combine education, work and a social life with competitive curling. The two students recently competed in the Westcoast Curling Classic in New Westminster during the October long weekend, losing all three of their matches, but it’s all part of the process. “I’ve been curling for 12 years,” said Kopf, a 22year-old SFU criminology student set to graduate next year. “I don’t think anybody at SFU even knows we curl. ... We certainly don’t get recognized.” Kopf, who skips the local squad that also includes third Derek Errington, second Mike Merklinger and Bradshaw, the lead, can laugh at the irony of that last statement, as a huge cheer from a SFU Clan football game next door interrupts his train of thought. “We curl in obscurity,” said Kopf. “I think only our friends and family

Swan song for ‘Caps

Curling in obscurity: Skip Steven Kopf, centre, throws a stone while teammates Mike Merklinger, left, and Mark Bradshaw, right, sweep. The Kopf rink recently competed at the Westcoast Curling Classic, losing all three games, but learning a lot of curling lessons from the pros.

know we curl.” Bradshaw can’t disagree: “Some people know I curl but that’s because I’m a residence advisor here at SFU and I’ve taken out some of the international students to teach them how to curl.” Bradshaw, 22, is a fifthyear linguistics student who has curled for 11 years. He took up the sport just after the 1998 Winter Olympics because he was captivated by the Sandra Schmirler story. Schmirler

won Olympic gold for Canada that year but died from cancer only two years later. “I’d played soccer for many years and my mom wanted to get me into a winter sport,” said Bradshaw, originally born in Zimbabwe. “I started curling at the Royal City Curling Club and I’m still doing it.” Kopf curled previously with Andrew Bilesky. Picking Bradshaw as a no-brainer, as the two had previously won a 2003

juvenile provincial title and had three B.C. Winter Games silver medals. The other two team members were surprising. “We got Derek from the Bryan Kedziora team that beat us at the B.C. Summer Games and we got MiniMerk to fill the team out,” said Kopf. Mini-Merk has curling in his blood, as Mike’s dad is Dave Merklinger, the former icemaker at Royal City. “It’s pretty exciting to be playing with a bunch of

young guys,” said Mike, who’s still spry at 30. “I don’t really feel like the old man of this rink because we all have a pretty good sense of humour.” Mike said he’s impressed with how solid a thrower Kopf is and he thinks the team will get better with each game and cashspiel this year. “We’re a new team so we’re still trying to get the chemistry right, get doing the little things right,” said Mike.

Belle season as leader of SFU Clan golf team Alfie Lau reporter

Burnaby’s Michael Belle is having a strong season leading the Simon Fraser University Clan men’s golf team. In late September, the Clan finished 11th at the St. Martin’s Invitational in Olympia, Washington, with Belle garnering a 43rd overall finish. Belle’s final round featured an ace, an eagle and two birdies in a two-under round of 70 and a final score of 221 over 54 holes. Clan teammate Adam Karim was hot on Belle’s heels, finishing with a combined score of 224 after shooting a final round 73. TJ McCall posted a three-round score of 225 to finish 54th overall while Douglas Cheung, at 227 and Jordan Melanson, at 235, rounded

out the Clan’s performance. Western Washington won the overall title, while it’s leading player Xavier Daily posted rounds of 67, 69 and 70 to win the overall individual crown with a threeround score of 206. “Mike continues to be our top player, his final round was quite extraordinary,” said SFU head coach John Buchanan in a press release.

Burnaby beats UBC

The Burnaby Lake rugby club won two and lost one during their matches against the UBC Old Boys on the last weekend of September. In the first division game, Burnaby won 40-5, led by a strong game from Colin MacKenzie, who scored a natural hat trick in his

first game back this season. In the elite competition, Burnaby downed the Old Boys 2120 in a tight, physical encounter. The winning score came from Burnaby’s man of the match, Adam Martin, who weaved and ducked and broke several tackles on his way to scoring the winning try late in the game. In the third division game, Burnaby went down 42-5 to United.

New West senior win

New Westminster resident Klazina Noort walked away with six medals from the B.C. Senior Games, which were held in the Comox Valley and Campbell River in mid-September. Noort won two golds, three silvers and bronze in the sprint events.

Morneau out of series

New Westminster slugger Justin Morneau will have to wait another year for the World Series. Morneau’s Minnesota Twins were swept in three games by the New York Yankees, but Morneau wasn’t a part of that sweep after being sidelined since July. Morneau took batting practice and ran some light drills with the Twins on Sept. 30, but was told by team doctors in early October that Morneau will not play again this season. Morneau was hitting .345 with 18 homers and 56 RBI on July 7 when he was kneed in the head accidentally by Toronto Blue Jays second baseman John McDonald. The Twins won the American League Central crown. alau@burnabynow.com

The Vancouver Whitecaps played the team’s final game at Swangard Stadium Sunday night, dropping a 2-0 extratime decision to the Puerto Rico Islanders in the second round of the USSF D-2 playoffs. The Whitecaps, who drew 0-0 on Oct. 14 in Puerto Rico, were favoured to advance but were undone by a former Whitecap, Nicholas Addlery, who came off the Islanders bench, scoring both extra-time goals for the win. Addlery, a ‘Cap in 2008, scored the decisive goal in the 113th minute, when he converted a rebound of a Richard Martinez pass past ‘Caps goalie Jay Nolly. With the Whitecaps pressing for an equalizer, Nolly came up for a corner kick, but was stranded when the Islanders Sandy Gbandi found a streaking Addlery on the break. Addlery rounded Nolly at the halfway line before racing forward and slotting the ball into an empty net from 35 yards out for his eighth goal of the season. The Whitecaps, who beat the Portland Timbers in the first round of the playoffs, were undone by their inability to hit the back of the net. After scoring twice in the first 13 minutes against Portland, the Whitecaps went 377 minutes — almost four full playoff games — without scoring again. The Islanders now go on to meet the NASL Conference winners Carolina RailHawks in the final after the RailHawks beat the Montreal Impact 2-0 at home. The Whitecaps now look forward to next season, their inaugural season in Major League Soccer. The squad starts taking shape in November with the MLS expansion draft. In March 2011, the Whitecaps will begin MLS play at Empire Field on the grounds of the Pacific National Exhibition in Vancouver. Later in 2011, the ‘Caps will then move to a newly-renovated B.C. Place in downtown Vancouver.

Curling: SFU athletes hope to get better, make it to Brier national championships continued from page 23

Mike does the ice at curling rinks in Langley and Cloverdale, and his expertise is welcomed by Kopf. “To have an icemaker on your team means we don’t get surprised by ice anywhere because Mike will know how to deal with it,” said Bradshaw. “He’s a good curler and it’s a bonus to have that as well.” The camaraderie of curling – along with the post-match drinks – means that every curler has great stories to tell. “One time, we took Mark’s (parents’) van to Kamloops, it was a Plymouth Voyager, and we forgot to put the Club on it so when we got back, it was gone,” said Kopf. “We had to call his parents to come and drive us back.” Bradshaw volunteers, teaching curling to at his alma mater, St. Thomas More Collegiate in Burnaby. “I’ve got a group of about 20 kids on Mondays after school and it’s pretty cool to pass along what I know,” said Bradshaw. “I know how many people helped us when we were younger so it’s good to be able to give something back.” Bradshaw thanks former world champions Brent Pierce and Bryan Miki for being particularly helpful. Kopf, playing in his third Westcoast Classic, said teams at the elite level don’t make many mistakes. “You have to be throwing at least your B+ game and more often, you need to be throwing your A game to get a result,” said Kopf. Kopf remembers one previous match against current Olympic champion Kevin Martin. “We didn’t embarrass ourselves, I think we lost 7-4 or something like that and it went to the last end,” said Kopf. “The difference was they didn’t make any mistakes.” Bradshaw compliments Kopf for being able to throw the “up weight” game, while Kopf is equally complimentary with Bradshaw’s sweeping game. “I think the main thing we need to work on is our consistency,” said Bradshaw. “I think that will come with the more games we play together and the more time we have together as a team.” That’s a noble goal but the squad only gets in practice time on the weekends. “Our goal is to keep on getting better and yes, we do want to go to the Brier,” said Kopf of Canada’s national curling championship.

At the Westcoast Classic in New Westminster, Kopf’s rink started with a 5-3 loss to the defending champion, Bob Ursel of Kelowna. Ursel got out a 2-0 lead with the hammer in the first end, only to have the SFU student take a single with the hammer in the third and steal another in the fourth. Ursel laid down the hammer in the fifth, with a threespotter before Kopf took one in the seventh for the final margin of victory.

In Kopf’s second game, against Yusuke Morozumi of Japan, he started with the hammer and gave up a steal in the first end before scoring two with the hammer in two. Kopf then stole one in the third and looked to have the game in hand with a 5-2 lead after five ends. But Morozumi took two in the sixth and eighth ends to win 6-5. In their final game, Kopf’s squad lost 6-3 to Seattle, Washington’s Leon Romaniuk.

The u-16 division 1 squad got two straight victories, with a 3-1 win over Victoria. The Selects were led by two goals by Justin Dhaliwal and a single from Willie Davis. The Selects continued their winning ways with a 32 win over Surrey-Guildford, with goals coming from Dhaliwal, Baldisimo and Matthew Shannik. In u-16 division 2 play, the Selects beat Victoria 2-0, with Daniel Pervan and Parker Ellis scoring the goals. The team had stellar defending by Comsia and Niko Sulentic, with Malahoff playing strong in the midfield and forward positions. Mangu recorded the shutout. In u-14 division 1 play, the Selects outscored their opposition 11-2 in their first two October games. The Selects started with an 8-1 win over Langley United, with Joel Padmore scoring a hat trick and Jacob McMahon, Luis Baez, Max Williams, Joey Ratcliffe and Brendan Shaw tallying the other goals. The Selects then beat Coquitlam Metro Ford Euro 3-1, with Padmore scoring another hat trick, his third straight game doing so. In u-14 division 2 play, the Selects beat North Fraser 31 and Coquitlam Metro Ford 2-1 to lead the table in their division. alau@burnabynow.com

Six Burnaby Selects players were recently selected to the national training centre west roster for the 2010/2011 season. Leading the way are three members from the u-16 division 1 squad: midfielder Mark Baldisimo, defender Adriano Clemente and midfielder/forward Nicholas Pineda-Graham. All three were members of the provincial u-15 squad in 2009/2010. Also making the national training roster were three members from the u-16 division 2 squad. Defender Alex Comsia, goalie Manuel Mangu and midfielder/forward Bjorn Malahoff all made the cut after being provincial u-14 members this year. The Selects had mixed results in the first two weeks of October. The u-18 division 1 team posted consecutive 2-1 victories, one on the Abbotsford Mariners, with Gilbert Kyne and Jayson Santiago scoring, and another over Surrey Guildford, with goals from Tanner Wright and Paris Gee. The u-18 division two team had a little less success, losing 3-1 to Langley before earning a 0-0 draw with the Surrey Selects.

After two weekends of rest, the BGSC Canadians FC women’s premier soccer team has no excuses when it takes the pitch on Oct. 24 against defending provincial champions, Surrey United. The Canadians haven’t played since Oct. 3, and hold a 4-0 record. In their last game, on the road, the Canadians beat Vancouver Westside FC 2-0. Westside was bolstered by four former Vancouver Whitecaps and the debut of ex-national team goalkeeper Taryn Swiatek. Swiatek played a solid game, as her squad was outshot 9-2. But Swiatek had no answer for striker Sarah Boulton, who got both Canadians goals. Boulton’s first came on a tip-in off a low shot, with the other coming off a redirected corner kick. New Westminster native and SFU grad Cassie Newbrook got the shutout for the Canadians, her third of the season. In a previous game in September, BGSC beat Langley FC 3-1. Langley played a strong first half and actually opened the scoring. Langley ventured into the Canadians end only a couple times in the first half and with a free kick from 40 yards out, got the opener when a Canadians defender attempted to head the ball away but flicked it over the head of a rushing Newbrook. The Canadians committed to wide play in the second half and got their first goal on a free kick from 30 yards out by Kylla Sjoman. A few minutes later, a great passing sequence had Catlin Carruthers and Fiona Lawson combine to lay off a perfect ball for Boulton to strike from 25 yards to the far corner. The third Canadians goal came off a corner kick in the last minute of the game when captain Amy Bobb rose and powerfully headed home the insurance marker. The Canadians match against Surrey United is at 6 p.m. on Oct. 24 at Burnaby North.

GLOBAL BC STAFF ACCEPTING THE HALL OF FAME AWARD AT THE 2010 BURNABY BUSINESS HALL OF FAME AND NOMINEES LUNCHEON

THE GLOBAL BC STORY: 50 YEARS OF TV It was October 31, 1960 when CHANTV first signed on the air. The first program manager claimed there were more ghosts on the screen than on the street that night. Fifty

years later, that shaky start is long forgotten. What was CHAN-TV is Now Global BC, the largest and most influential television station in the province. Moving from

temporary studios on Richards Street in Vancouver, CHAN began operations from its present day location on Enterprise Street in Burnaby in early 1961. Today, Global

BC produces 48 hours of news programming each week, more than any other station in Canada. The station’s flagship 6pm News Hour attracts more viewers

than all other local newscasts combined. Since its 1974 launch date, the BCTV News Hour has grown, surpassing CBC’s ratings dominance in 1976/77 and

maintaining that lead position still today. In fact, each Global newscast, from the Morning News at 5:30AM through to late night’s News Hour Final, leads its time period. An aggressive approach to news gathering is generally credited with the stations success. Aside from news, the station is completely immersed in community activities. An amazing 44 year run with Variety and the Show of Hearts telethon has amassed $155 million since its inception in 1963. Also on Global BC, Miracle Weekend helped raise over $16 million last year alone for BC Children’s Hospital. All of it benefitting the special children of our province. Global BC, with its half-decade of history, is very honoured to be recognized by the Burnaby Board of Trade and the City of Burnaby as their 2010 inductee into the Burnaby Business Excellence Hall of Fame.
