CITY RULES

She wants to hawk hotdogs Resident gets her food cart ready but finds out process is filled with challenges Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

Burnaby needs to allow food carts to help small business owners and create a fun atmosphere in the city, according to a resident who has had her hotdog cart business stalled. Kathy Sullivan moved to Burnaby 18 months ago and was unable to find work, she said. So she decided to start her own business. “I bought a hotdog cart,” Sullivan said, adding she outfitted it, and got her insurance and Food Safe certification, before discovering it is impossible to run a food cart business in Burnaby. Food carts are only allowed on private property, and must be approved by businesses that own the property. Business owners want to see all the licenses and permits in place before they’ll allow you to put your cart on their property, she explained, but the city won’t grant the permits until that agreement is made with the business. Many of Burnaby’s businesses are centred at the city’s malls, Sullivan added in her recent presentation to council, which is not good for small business owners. Malls have contracts with big chain restaurants and fast food operators, which makes it unlikely that the malls will welcome a hotdog cart vendor on the property, she explained. Sullivan came with a short petition Carts Page 9

Solid gold: Hayley Wickenheiser lets Megan Beres, 11, hold her Olympic gold medal during last weekend’s inaugural Wickenheiser International Women’s Hockey Festival held at Burnaby 8 Rinks.

First hockey fest is a winner More than 900 young women from across Canada, the U.S. and the Czech Republic converged in Burnaby last weekend to participate in the inaugural Wickenheiser International Women’s Hockey Festival. Organizers mixed competition, elite athletes, sports personalities and world-class trainers in a unique hockey event that ran from Thursday to Sunday at Burnaby 8 Rinks. A total of 54 teams across 10 divisions competed in the tournament in addition to attending the off-ice clinics and presenta-

tions. “The festival was everything I wanted it to be and more thanks to our sponsors who saw the value of investing in the empowerment of these young women both on and off the ice,” said Hayley Wickenheiser in a press release. “My hope is that they have all left here with a sense of ‘why not me?’ And that they can do anything they set their minds to.” Special guests at the festival included Olympians and Wickenheiser’s teammates, CarlaMacLeodandGinaKingsbury,Olympic

gold medalist and rower Ben Rutledge and Olympic swimmer Scott Dickens. Highly regarded coaches and trainers such as Mel Davidson, former NHLer Ryan Walter, Kim McCullough, Syl Corbett and Kelsey Andries held sessions that addressed everything from coaching techniques to interactive footwork for players. Guest appearances were made by former NHLer and Olympian, Trevor Linden and young Vancouver Canuck Hockey Page 3

COSTS GO UP

You’ll fork out more to live, play in Burnaby Janaya Fuller-Evans staff reporter

It’ll cost more to live, work and play in Burnaby in 2011. Council approved plans to introduce a fee schedule for use of the city’s artificial turf fields at Monday night’s meeting. Currently, Burnaby only charges artificial turf user fees to youth sports groups whose membership is less than 60 per cent of Burnaby residents. As of 2011, all groups will be charged to use the fields, an idea which the city’s parks, recreation and cultural services department started exploring in 2009. Staff discussed plans to introduce user fees with representatives of boys and girls soccer clubs in the city, and in February and March 2010, set up meetings and communication with other sports groups, including field hockey, field lacrosse and football clubs. While all of the groups said they would prefer not to have to pay to use the fields, each agreed to the fee introduction. The Burnaby Girls Soccer Club in particular indicated it would be able to accommodate a fee in its budget, according to a parks department report. The fee, which is $15.75 per hour for 2011, will be phased in. As of January, groups will be charged $4.20 per hour; as of September 2011, $8.40 per hour; and in September 2012, the fee will be $12.75 per hour. The fee is set to increase to $16.75 per hour in September 2013. According to the report, seven municipalities in the Lower Mainland have higher rates, while Coquitlam and Delta still do not charge for field use. Grass and all-weather fields will continue to be available free of charge. There are currently seven artificial turf fields in Burnaby, with another planned for Central Secondary School, due to be available in December 2012. Utilities are also set to increase in 2011. Waterworks utility rates are due to increase to $459.66, if paid by the due date, next year. The rate for 2010 was $414.10. The new rate is for those single-family households that pay before or on March 15, while it will cost $483.85 for those who pay after the due date. Costs up Page 10

It’s all online: Julia Nelson is leading a workshop on digital identity at the Tommy Douglas Library in Burnaby. The

workshops are geared towards parents who want to know more about what kind of digital footprints their children are making when they’re online.

Check out your kid’s digital tattoo Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

As if parents didn’t have enough to worry about with the ink variety, now there’s a new type of tattoo teens are getting, and this one can be harder to remove. Teens who use social networking sites – like MySpace, Facebook and Twitter – and have blogged or bought things online are creating a personal digital identity, or “digital tattoo,” as Julia Nelson calls it. “It’s basically a collection of behaviours and activities that are recorded online,” says Burnaby’s teen services librarian. And to help parents counsel their kids in creating online identities, she’s hosting a session called Digital Tattoo on Monday, Nov. 29 at the Tommy Douglas library branch.

“It’s become such an issue in the media, and parents really need to have the knowledge and the information needed to help their teens make good decision,” Nelson says. A digital tattoo is basically what people, a future employer for instance, may find when they Google a person online. That includes nasty comments, embarrassing Facebook photos, depictions of illegal activities, blog entries and suggestive photos that may have found their way onto the Internet. But social media isn’t all bad when used with care, Nelson points out. “You want to leave a positive impression. It’s a place to find out about your reputation,” she says. Cyber bullying is also a big issue with teens online, Nelson adds.

“The thing that’s going to affect your teen most online is their peers. This is a chronic problem in school. It’s a form of bullying, but it’s invisible to adults,” she says. Nelson’s workshop will cover things parents need to know to help their teens manage their online presence. She’ll talk about improving online image, reflecting on things before revealing them and how to get something removed from cyber space, which can often be difficult. “Sometimes there isn’t anything you can do, so the most important thing is to be thoughtful from the beginning,” she says. The Nov. 29 session is from 7 to 8 p.m., and it’s free. The Tommy Douglas branch is at 6100 Willingdon Ave. in Burnaby. Call 604-436-5427 for more information. twitter.com/JenniferMoreau

and for the Burnaby Minor Hockey Association. The girls all had a lot of fun and it was very informative. I can’t wait until next year,” said Moe Velji, coordinator of female hockey from Burnaby Minor Hockey. The inaugural festival raised money for Kidsport B.C. and Right to Play, and was sponsored by Samsung.

Give where you live: Hannah Romero (at left) and Wendell Harlow of Electronic Arts are putting together food packs for charity.

Not just fun and games Electronic Arts employees pitch in to help the hungry Thank goodness, it’s Friday will have a whole new meaning at Electronic Arts this Friday. On Nov. 26, 600 Electronic Arts employees and their families will volunteer for one hour each to package 7,000 meal packets to feed 42,000 people in need in the Lower Mainland. EA is partnering with Kids Against Hunger Canada and the Greater Vancouver Food Bank Society to package the proteinrich meals in a six-hour timeframe in the gym of EA’s Burnaby office. Wendell Harlow, EA’s manager of out-

reach and corporate giving, Canada, said the enriched and fortified rice soy casserole packages that can feed six people are filling – and after a Monday afternoon taste test – she was able to give an unequivocal thumbs-up to the finished product. “It tastes pretty good and we know it’s healthy,” she said. The packages are similar to food packages that are sent abroad to help people in need, but when Harlow and the EA staff thought about where they wanted their packages to go, there was an easy answer. “We wanted to help the people in our own communities,” she said. “There are hungry people here and this is a chance for us to concentrate on our own community.” – By Alfie Lau, staff reporter

OUR VIEW

to quash it is the height of hypocrisy. It’s worth noting that for all Harper’s protests of Senate Liberals dragging their feet on important legislation, the Grits never actually killed off a Commons-approved government bill. In fact, the sober second look has only led to a thumbs-down twice in the past 50 years. Coming less than a year after Harper simply padlocked the House of Commons to avoid inconvenient votes, this wielding of the Senate veto raises

an important question about his respect for our nation’s institutions – and for democracy itself. He’s come a long way from direct democracy advocate to autocratic prime minister. Power has proven more precious than principle. It’s time to make the Senate an elected and accountable body, or get rid of it. To use the unelected and apparently beholden group of appointees to quash climate change legislation is simply unacceptable.

every institution, in West Beirut – hospitals, schools, apartments, shops, newspaper offices, hotels, (…) and the parks.” To make matters worse, phosphorus bombs were used, turning “babies into human torches.” On April 16, 1996, Israeli artillery deliberately shelled a United Nations refugee compound killing 106 and injuring 116. In January of 2009, the Guardian reported that Israel was once again using phosphorus against civilians. These are not isolated events, but rather examples of continuing brutality. When Bill Gruenthal says that “a few civilians were killed,” I’m reminded of the Israeli army sergeant quoted as saying, “It’s just a bunch of Arabs. Why are you taking it so hard?” Remi Masson, Burnaby

Tory senate kills climate bill Dear Editor:

On Nov. 16th, the Conservative majority in the Senate voted against second reading of bill C-311, which is also known as the Climate Change Accountability Act. It is the only legislation to pass through the house that would set hard reduction targets on greenhouse gases and is also the only piece of legislation that would provide meaningful methods of measuring the success rate of the country in the short,

medium and long term. The sheer hypocrisy of the defeat of this bill would normally have surprised me, but considering the party involved in this, I must confess that I’m not shocked by Conservatives betraying their core principles. What happened to the Stephen Harper that hoped that the Senate would fulfill its historic duty and not kill legislation outright? I guess that changed once he flipflopped on his principles and stacked the Senate with his cronies. We now get to hear reports in the media about how both sides blame the other for the defeat of this bill. If you’re all so damn worried about who killed the bill, why didn’t you vote for it when you had the opportunity? Trevor Ritchie, Burnaby

Dear Editor:

Re: Sorry to see Campbell go, Letters to the Editor, Burnaby NOW, Nov. 13 Garth Evans knows no shame in his letters to your Voices page. He not only has his facts wrong, he twists them to suit his political agenda. He infers the previous government had more than one equalization transfer by adding an “s” to payment. There was only one, Garth: $125 million for 1999/2000. How do you square that with the Liberals FIVE equalization payments for a total of $2.4 billion? F.B. Heyman, Burnaby

Factions: New party for B.C? MLAs such as Katrine Conroy and Norm MacDonald from the Kootenays, Nicholas Simons and Gary Coons from the Coast, Harry Lali from the Interior, Jenny Kwan and Guy Gentner from the Metro Vancouver, and Island MLAs Lana Popham, Doug Routley, Leonard Krog and Claire Trevena. Some of these folks simply can’t get over the fact that James fired Cariboo MLA Bob Simpson for insubordination. It is quite conceivable a number of them may well decide to join Simpson in exile. The level of animosity to James varies among this rump group. But this problem extends beyond James and now pits some MLAs against others. I was an eyewitness

2010 WATERMAIN FLUSHING

to this deterioration of caucus relations during that council meeting. On my way out of the room after James’ speech, I found myself suddenly in a near-physical encounter between Simons and fellow NDP MLA Mable Elmore (Vancouver Kensington). Simons was leaning into Elmore, jabbing his finger at her, and loudly saying over and over again: “Do you want to fight?” He suddenly saw me, and slunk away. Oh, what a happy bunch! The magnitude of this problem for the NDP cannot be underestimated. At some point, James is going to have to take action. I can’t see all 12 leaving, but it is conceivable Conroy, Popham, Routley, Simons and MacDonald (they appear to be the

angriest as well as being the closest to Simpson) leave and sit with their one-time colleague from the Cariboo. Again, all it takes is for three of them to join Simpson to gain official party status. B.C. has long been a two-party province, with a third party popping up with scant representation from time to time. But we may be on the verge of a huge political re-alignment. The two dominant parties are fracturing right now and if they don’t end their internal strife (and the NDP has the biggest problem on this front right now), they’re going to find one or two new competitors suddenly appearing on the scene. Keith Baldrey is chief political correspondent for Global B.C.

Carts: Mayor raises concerns continued from page 1

with names of people who would be interested in buying from food carts in Burnaby. She said she would have collected more names, but she didn’t have much time. “I was told that people are going into Vancouver to get a hotdog and do their shopping,” she said, adding this is revenue Burnaby businesses are missing out on. However, the City of Vancouver isn’t much better when it comes to licensing food carts, Sullivan said, since it is done through a lottery system on an annual basis. Small business owners can’t run a successful food stand business without proper support from the city, she said. “Burnaby even calls us peddlers, which makes my point,” she said. She asked city council to change the bylaws to make it possible for her to run her

business. It would allow her to support herself, she said, while also opening up opportunities for others. Mayor Derek Corrigan referred the issue to city staff, asking that staff come back with a report about what issues might affect the running of Sullivan’s business and whether those points of the bylaw should be changed, or if there were good reasons to keep the bylaw as it is. Corrigan has stated in the past that he doesn’t think food carts on public property are a good fit for the city, outside of festivals. He addressed the issue after returning from the Safeway Waterfront Blues Festival in Portland, Ore.

last summer, where he and city staff sampled some of the food cart offerings there. “The problem is it can become prohibitively expensive to operate them,” Corrigan said, “and you’ve got to balance very legitimate health concerns against the viability of these operations.” Another issue is how these businesses could affect restaurants, he added. “Merchants put a lot of investment in their businesses,” he said, “and put a much more significant investment in restaurants.” It would be difficult to balance the needs of restaurant owners with those of food cart vendors, he said. “You can’t go too far, with the food carts.”

Help for caregivers

here are more talks on caring for the elderly coming up this week and next. The Burnaby Family Caregivers Project is hosting the sessions at local library branches. There’s one on housing option at the McGill branch on Saturday, Nov. 27, from 10:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. For tips on how to improve communication with health-care professionals, check out the talk at the Metrotown library branch on Friday, Nov. 26 from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Then, on Monday, Nov. 29, there’s a session on how to discuss health-care wishes of someone who may end up incapacitated. That talk is at the Metrotown branch, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. All the talks are free, but seating is limited, so call 604-241-0485 to save a spot.

Students take over

Three Burnaby kids were part of CBC News Day on Nov. 18, where students take over the airwaves of Canada’s national broadcaster. Kelly Furey from St. Thomas More Collegiate did an investigative report on tanning salons. Miguel Ramos, also from St. Thomas More, was doing “streeters” for CBC News Vancouver. Streeters are when reporters interview random people on the street for their opinions on current affairs. Beth Bowers of Moscrop Secondary was covering schools sports. Thirty students participated in the event, and this year some of the stories also appeared in The Vancouver Sun.

Another free book

This one is Edge of the Sound, Memoirs of a West Coast Log Salvager, by Jo Hammond. The Gibsons author moved to Canada from the U.K. and met writer Dick Hammond, an enigmatic log salvager, whom she married and raised children with. Here’s a snippet from the book jacket: “Edge of Sound is both a love story and a tale of adventure between a man with an uncommonly high IQ who found his niche behind the wheel of a salvaging boat and a young woman searching for her own place in the world.” The first person who e-mails me at jmoreau@burnabynow.com with Edge of Sound in the subject line gets the book.

Stocking shelves: Stephen D’Souza, executive director of Burnaby Community Connections, helps get the toy room in order at Metropolis at Metrotown. Early donations of toys for boys are outnumbering those for girls.

Boy toys outnumber girl toys Christmas Bureau needs toys for girls aged five and under Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

The Burnaby Christmas Bureau has a gender disparity problem when it comes to toy donations this year, and no one seems to know why. “Basically for every one girl-toy we get, we have three boy-toys,” says volunteer Pam Bloom. That’s been the trend for the whole Lower Mainland, and no one really knows why, she added. The bureau helps low-income families

who may need a hand putting food on the table and presents under the tree for the holidays. Burnaby Community Connections facilitates the program, and they rely on donations to stock the shelves in their toy room at Metropolis at Metrotown. Every year, Bloom volunteers to run the toy room, and while she’s been inundated with Hot Wheels, she’s sorely lacking toys for girls aged five and under. She’s asking the public to donate baby dollies, strollers, play food and tea party sets. The hot toy this season seems to be Zhu Zhu Pets, which are battery powered hamsters. People can also buy hamster wheels, tunnels and little cars for them. “It’s new this year, and it’s taking off,”

she says. As always, toys for teens are in demand. “In stock, I have zero boxes for 13-plus boys. Zero,” Bloom says. Sports balls, advanced Lego sets, movietheatre vouchers and inexpensive portable stereos (in the $20 range) are popular with older boys. “No more stuffies,” Bloom said, as she’s got enough stuffed animals already. The bureau’s toy room is at Metropolis at Metrotown, on the lower level by Toys “R” Us. People can drop off new, unwrapped toy donations during mall hours. For more information, call 604-434-1234 or visit www.burnabycommunityconnec tions.com.

Local man takes dangerous journey Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

He’s at it again. Burnaby resident Duc Nguyen is back from his latest trip, tempting fate in some of the world’s most dangerous and conflictridden zones, in honour of his wife and now to spread a message of peace. In all, Nguyen travelled to 15 countries on this last trip, several for the first time. He started in England, then went to Turkey Iran, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia, the United Arab Emirates, Yemen, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and Iraq. He also stayed in the Kurdish regions of

Turkey, Iran and Iraq. Nguyen was featured in the NOW last fall for his five-month trip through conflict areas in Africa, taken in honour of his wife, Marlene Bockmann-Nguyen, a program assistant at SFU. Nguyen’s latest trip was through the Middle East. He left in May and returned in September with a message of peace. “Bring our kids home,” he said. “There are no just wars, only atrocities and sufferings.” Nguyen left his homeland in Vietnam decades ago and chose to live in Canada because there were no wars here. But visiting the Middle East has brought up connec-

tions to his home country and criticism for Canada. Nguyen couldn’t get a visa to get into Afghanistan, but he said it’s “just a corner of the same cauldron” that he has visited. “On my last trip, at 70, all my thoughts go to the memory of my dead father and my native Vietnam with its history of wars, suffering and victorious resistances. On the same ground in the Middle East and around, I wasn’t scared at any moment, even though in many countries, as soon as I departed, car bombs, mines or strikes killed dozens of people,” he said. “Travelling War Page 12

mostly overland, I see the same human cruelty, the same pseudo ideology, the same rhetoric and the same absurdity with more cynical, manipulated civil wars.” Nguyen noted that Canada’s international reputation is suffering. “Under Harper, Canada has recently lost its status of a longtime revered neutral, peaceful gendarme into (a) fighting unit force in the region to please some foreign lobbies,” he said. “There are no just wars. Liberation doesn’t come with invited foreign invasion. It results in occupation and death. Our kids should be brought back immediately … to protect and defend our own land.” Nguyen’s previous trip, a five-month trek through Africa, covered Madagascar, Ethiopia, Congo, Sudan, Namibia, Botswana, Swaziland, Mozambique, Lesotho, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Zaire, Burundi, Djibouti and Malawi, to name a few. He threw out his copy of the Lonely Planet and used Foreign Affairs alerts instead. For his next trip, Nguyen

is planning to visit 10 peaceful nations in the Pacific. Twitter.com/ JenniferMoreau

he next time you’re in the Grand Villa Casino and are getting a little something to eat in the Scala Lounge, ask chef Marcus Bugoy if he can whip up some butterscotch ripple ice cream for you. The big smile on his face will tell you there’s more to the story than just a dollop of greatness. Bugoy was working for the Fairmont chain in Kananaskis in 2002 when the G8 Summit hit town. A certain two-term U.S. President with the middle initial “W” had a craving that only Bugoy and his team could satisfy. “It was an absolutely crazy time because we had security officials over our shoulders, health officials

all around us and then we get word that W wanted butterscotch ripple ice cream,” said Bugoy, who started at Scala earlier this year and is responsible for most of the casino’s culinary options. “We didn’t have any, so one of the sous chefs, complete with a security detail, went to Canmore to get the ice cream. ... I think they did the drive in half the time it usually takes.” Things have quieted down for Bugoy, originally from Smithers, but with an extensive resume that also includes stints in Toronto and Calgary. The 2010 Winter Olympics brought Bugoy back to B.C. as he helped put together the menu for the NBC VIPs such as Bob Costas and Matt Lauer. Bugoy is also a star on the international cooking scene, having recently finished second in the Canadian Culinary Federation’s recent competition to help determine who would be part of the

mash. I source local producers of sausage and potatoes, use the best cooking techniques, add in my personal flavours and you get a unique dish.” Well, no bangers and mash for me on a recent dining excursion to Scala. Bugoy and Smith are actually in the midst of putting together their winter menu and wanted some input from a foodie-in-training like myself and a true foodie, my older sister, Hayley, whose day job includes hiring chefs all across Canada. For our first dish, we had a pork medley, with one side being a five spice, double-smoked pork belly on one side and a bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin on the other. Separating the “combatants” were some chanterelle mushrooms and asparagus. The pork belly was exquisite, the equal of anything I’ve ordered in traditional Chinese restaurants and I whole-heartedly recommended that be put on the winter menu. The pork tenderloin wasn’t bad, but lacked that oomph and flavour that the

pork belly had. “Fat equals flavour,” was the unanimous Lau family recommendation for Bugoy and Smith. When Bugoy joined us for a talk after our meal, he said the biggest challenge of the job is not knowing what’s coming up next. “With a 24/7 operation like we have here, we can be called on to make anything from a hot dog to lobster tail with a prime cut of steak,” said Bugoy. “My job is to make sure the standards are high for everything.” Bugoy is also a believer in using fresh ingredients, local where available. He promised me that Atlantic farmed salmon would never sully any menu he’s a part of. “We’re part of the Ocean Wise program,” said Bugoy. “I’m planning to have items such as halibut, arctic char and sablefish on the menu when they’re in season.” Scala Lounge is located at the Grand Villa Casino at 4331 Dominion St. For more info, go to www.grandvillaca sino.com or call 604-436-2211.

Could falling back be making us fat? A British professor seems to think so. Mayer Hillman, the senior fellow emeritus at the University of Westminster in London, has written an essay in the British Medical Journal claiming that losing an hour of daylight each fall could be contributing to obesity and illness levels in the U.K. and abroad. Hillman discusses the lack of exercise in the U.K. as the main factor in the country’s rising obesity levels, and notes that an extra hour of darkness in the evenings makes people even less likely to go outside and be active. “It’s an interesting hypothesis, but I don’t think we have any evidence from rigorous research to back that up,” says Dr. James Lu, the acting Medical Ofﬁcer for the North Shore. Lu notes that a lack of daylight can bring about a slump in the psyche, often leading to a mood disorder, which affects a substantial amount of Canadians every year, Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.). “Seasonal Affective Disorder ... is inﬂuenced by the ability of the person who is affected by it to have enough exposure to

Don’t let the darkness get you down

sunlight or UV light, or light in general.” Lu suggests that our location in the northern hemisphere is the main issue for local sufferers. Because the difference in the length of daylight between winter and summer days is so pronounced due to our latitudinal whereabouts, that the effects of S.A.D. are increased. Among the symptoms of S.A.D. is a craving for carbohydrates, or “comfort foods,” which can lead to weight gain. Lu feels that a direct link between the clocks going back in fall and obesity is rather tenuous, but considers that this possibility should be of interest to

researchers and warrants further examination. One recommended treatment for S.A.D. is light therapy, using ﬂuorescent lamps to replicate the additional hours of daylight in the summer months. Alternatively, one effective remedy for both is already programmed into us. “Going back to how we’re built and what we’re meant to be as a human living being – we’re meant to be moving,” says Lu. When we are depressed, we go against our natural tendencies to be active. By getting the motivation to up our levels of ﬁtness, we can stave off the blues and any unwanted pounds.

Snowbirds should plan for the unexpected when travelling Canadian Snowbirds continue to head to hot spots like Florida, Arizona and the Caribbean during the frigid winter months in order to swing a golf club rather than push a snow shovel. As Canada’s population ages and more people retire, the number of Snowbirds is expected to grow. Though many retirees may already be seasoned travellers, today’s new snow “chickadees” may not be so experienced and could consequently be unfamiliar with the benefits of travel insurance.

“Travel insurance is something every vacationing retiree should investigate and plan to purchase – it will help protect you when the unexpected happens, and help put you and your family’s mind at ease so you can enjoy your adventures,” says Dr. Brian Aw, MD, CCFP, CTH, and International Travel Clinic Physician. “Along with your passport, it is a crucial document that you need.” Purchased prior to the trip, travel insurance can help cover medical expenses, accommodation expenses and other losses that may be incurred while travelling domestically or internationally. Various types of plans are available and can help cover lost or stolen baggage, trip cancellations or interruptions. It is particularly important for Snowbirds to purchase travel medical insurance if they have pre-existing medical conditions, to help protect them whether travelling down south or to more far-flung destinations.

What to have for dinner tonight? Barbecued ribs with scalloped potatoes. Maybe rotini pasta with sautéed shrimp and vegetables in a rosé sauce. Then a cream puff for dessert – or lemon meringue pie. So much choice.

Traveling to an exotic destination can put us at a greater risk of encountering an illness our body does not have the antibodies to fight off. Plus, getting sick or injured in a foreign country is not the ideal way to spend your vacation – not only does it cut into time spent by the pool, but it can cost thousands of dollars for transportation, medical treatment and medication. For many, the golden years will mean seeing the world and experiencing adventure, and with a little planning and foresight, they may be able to do just that.

Through our exclusive TasteBuds™ program, our residents choose from a variety of wholesome, homemade meals that are served in the comfort of our dining room – and in the company of friends. What’s on your menu today?

It’s a magical time of year Its a magical time of the year; a time of beautiful decorations, coloured lights, and festivities – but perhaps the most joyful part of the Christmas season is seeing the faces of children when they meet Santa Claus. Santa has arrived at Metropolis at Metrotown and is spending his days greeting children from all over, learning of their dreams and reminding them to be good. As we grow older, we may forget the innocence that we once had, and how exciting it was to meet the man in red. We may have forgotten that almost overwhelming anticipation of the visit, considering the most important things to share with Santa as we waited in line; the memory of sitting on his lap and being in awe of his sparkling eyes and wooly white beard, that magical moment when he wishes you a very Merry Christmas in that deep belly laugh sort of way and you just know it will be merry because he said so. As we get older, we move on from childhood heros and perhaps lose a little magic of the season But take a minute and visit Santa’s Castle. They say that a picture

Mountain girl wins gold at B.C. champs Tom Berridge

Alexandria Schofield won Burnaby’s only gold medal at the B.C. School Sports aquatic championships in Nanaimo last weekend. Schofield, a Simon Fraser Aquatics club swimmer, won the open girls’ 100-metre butterfly in a winning time of 1:03.54, beating Gleneagle runnerup Abigail Sayer by nearly two seconds. The Burnaby Mountain senior also finished fourth in the 100m freestyle and fifth in the 100m backstroke. Cristian Cristurean and David Pinsky also chipped in with points for Mountain. “I wanted to take it seriously so the other two boys on the team would want to swim again next year,” said Schofield, who swims on the under-18 provincial team. Mountain finished 40th in overall combined team standings with 68 points. Cristurean, a Grade 9 swimmer, made the final of the open boys’ 200m individual medley, while placing 12th in the 100m free and 15th in the 100m back. Burnaby North Secondary topped all district schools, placing eighth overall and third in boys’ team standings. North relays picked up two team medals. The Vikings’ mixed B relay team of Vincent Chung, Mabel Ng, Alison Tso and

Sean Qu earned a silver in the 200m free. The boys’ B team of Carlin Leung, Jun Jay Liu, Qu and Chung also took a bronze in the 200m free. North’s strong boys’ teams also placed fourth and ninth in the 200m medley. The Viking girls made the final in the 200m B medley. Chung and Leung had the best individual finishes for the Vikings. Chung placed fourth in the final of the boys’ B 50m fly, while Leung was also fourth in the boys’ 50m B breast. Liu made two championship finals for North, placing fifth in the 100m B free and eighth in the 50m free. Kenneth Ng also made the final in the 50m B breast, finishing in eighth spot. North swimmers making the consolation finals included Tabasom Shirbani, Brianna Fong, Linda Jiang, Bryan Cheung and Tso, who placed ninth in the girls’ 50m B fly. Cariboo Hill made some waves in both the B and open boys’ categories. Junior Stefan Milosevic earned a third-place medal in the open 200m individual medley. He also placed fifth in both the 100m back and fly. Milan Milosevic, a Grade 12 senior, won a bronze in the 100m B free, while also finishing seventh in the free sprint.

On a rollout: St. Thomas More quarterback Chase Malcolm, seen here in the team’s final regular season game against Centennial, will lead the JV Knights against Vancouver College on Thursday.

Junior varsity Knights look for redemption in semifinal showdown Tom Berridge sports editor

Giovanni Trasolini scored two touchdowns to lead the junior varsity St. Thomas More Knights to a 36-7 win over Lord Tweedsmuir Nov. 18. The quarter-final victory at Burnaby Lake Sports ComplexWest put the Knights into the final four and a meeting with archrival Vancouver College Fighting Irish. The upcoming semifinal took on greater significance following the varsity Knights’ ignominious 49-2 loss to Vancouver College in the AAA varsity quarter-final at Thunderbird Stadium last Friday. “Do I use that as motivation? Yes, I do. We are a program. When one of the programs feel it’s been challenged, the other program steps up, and that’s what we’re going to do,” said STM JV head coach Dave

Ruyzcki. Trasolini, a 6-3 junior wide receiver, hauled in two touchdown passes from quarterback Chase Malcolm, scoring from 40 and 21 yards out. Sebastien Adugalski ran for a 15yard score, while Elliot Nelson also had a rushing TD for the Knights. Dante Vigini blocked a punt and recovered the ball in the end zone for a fifth STM touchdown. Malcolm, the Knights’ Grade 9 pivot, completed eight passes for just over 100 yards in the win. STM’s only defeat this season was an exhibition loss to the Fighting Irish back in September. In that game, a Knight fumble with three minutes left in the contest led to a pair of touchdowns and a 34-28 comeback win for College. The semifinals will pit the topfour JV teams in the AAA loop, STM, Vancouver College, W.J. Mouat and Mt. Douglas, with the outcome any-

one’s guess, said Ruyzcki. “Oh yeah, make no mistake about it. Anyone can beat anyone on any given night,” Ruyzcki said. “Van College beat us, Mt. Doug beat V.C., we beat Mt. Doug and Mouat. Mouat beat Mt. Doug. It’s basically roll the dice.” Unlike the senior’s tentative beginning against Van College in the varsity playoff, the JVs have to come out hard and with purpose, said Ruyzcki. “Our strength is being aggressive and playing an error-free football game,” he added. STM will tackle Vancouver College at BLSC-W on Thursday. Game time is scheduled for 3 p.m. Mt. Douglas will travel to Abbotsford for a meeting with Mouat, also on Thursday. The Grade 8 Knights also played College in semifinal playoffs Tuesday (after NOW deadlines).

You might have a social network more sinuous than a spider’s web and an online presence that would impress Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg. But when it comes to landing a job, the old-fashioned resume still trumps all. That’s the opinion of three experts in the recruitment and job-seeking ﬁeld na-

tionwide. “Until we come up with a way where we can send a hologram of a person,” says Amos Tayts, a Torontobased former recruiter with ofﬁces across Canada and the U.S. helping people looking for work, “the resume is the only way that people will know who you are, and what you bring to the table.” Although there is industry talk of a ’resume 2.0’ comprising video proﬁles in which candidates speak about their impact on increasing sales at a company or reducing costs, for instance, the familiar resume is still expected by anyone hiring or recruiters. “It’s the standby — like the old pair of jeans that people are comfortable with,” says Jeff Aplin, who recruits out of Calgary. He says the importance of a resume cannot be overstated. “It means everything to get to the next step, such as the phone or face-to-face interview.” Vancouver-based executive search consultant Shaun Carpenter brands a resume the “quintessential jump-

In terms of

social media and resumes, one goes with another. The network helps to get your resume seen by the right people, but a resume is still the key starting point.” Carpenter says most employers want to see no more than two pages, and all want to see them tailored to their corporation and culture. He advises thinking in terms of

a full day’s worth of research: Look at everything online on the potential employer and download its financial reports and any news stories about the company. Those hiring want to see that candidates recognize what the organization is currently going through and the significance of its business. “The resume needs to really prove that you understand what you are looking at and be speaking to the cogent points that are identified in an advertisement,” says Carpenter. “Pull out points and address issues. It really has to be customized — use your knowledge, intuition and research ability — and avoid using formulaic vocabulary, such as ‘team player’ or ‘highly motivated.’ These will not cut it.” When describing the assets you bring to a job, make sure it is backed up by your working life. “You want to highlight different dimensions of your experience to be congruent with that organization and that specific job,” says Aplin, the COO at David Aplin Recruiting. “Ensure there are no empty words.” A resume can be a way to show your personality, he suggests. Include a few aspects that are unique to you such as a health or community initiative with which you were involved, for example, if appropriate to the job. “If a typical HR person is filtering through a high volume of resumes, you might be able to add colour or zing to your resume to make it more interesting to read,” he says. In explaining your career, adds Carpenter, never put the onus on the reader to do further research. “I can’t stand when I get a resume and they have the company name but nothing about size, scope, nature of business, reporting structure, revenue,” he says. “You should be able to look at the resume and get all the information you need to make a decision.” Employers find it hard to resist “compelling” resumes, according to Tayts. “In order to stand out and get to the top 10 per cent of the talent pool, you need to have a resume that is able to articulate value very quickly,” says the founder of ResumeTarget Inc. He estimates it takes around nine seconds for a hiring manager to propel the applicant to the next stage. Enlisting professional advice in writing your resume is often the best approach, according to Aplin. “It’s a good thing to polish or make the writing more attractive or engaging,” he says. Carpenter, however, stresses the need for resumes to remain personal to the applicant. “I don’t want resumes to look like they have all been written the same way,” he says, adding: “If you believe this is your dream job, you should be putting in a lot of effort.” © Copyright (c) Postmedia News

STM stung in grid quarter-final Tom Berridge

sports editor

The St. Thomas More Knights AAA varsity football team now knows what it’s really like to lose. The team of mostly first-year senior Knights took a sound paddling at the hands of their archrivals Vancouver College Fighting Irish, falling 492 in the quarter-finals at Thunderbird Stadium last Friday. The game began on a telling note for the Knights. The usually surehanded STM quarterback Mikey Carney fumbled the opening snap on his own 11yard line. He was then sacked for a four-yard loss before losing the handle on a long snap on a third-and17 call. That set up College for an easy score from three yards out with barely two minutes gone in the contest, which was played in falling snow for much of the game. The Knights fumbled away the ball on their own eight-yard line on their third possession, giving the Irish another easy TD. STM’s only points came following its best drive of the game, an 11-play drive that left College first-and10 on its own 10. The Knights were awarded a safety touch when an Irish ballcarrier slipped in the endzone. It went further downhill after that. College’s Charlie Thorpe took the opening play of the second quarter 69 yards for a touchdown, breaking tackles along the way. On its next possession, College marched the ball from its own one-yard line the length of the field, capped off by a sensational one-handed catch by Reiner Theil for the Vancouver independent’s fourth TD. College capitalized on another STM fumble and a Carney interception to close a dismal first half for the Burnaby faithful with a 42-2 lead. STM managed a total of just five yards rushing and

47 through the air against College in the first half. The Knights also lost the services of lineman Luca Molanari and running back Justin Siglos to injuries in the opening quarter. “Snaps, fumbles, the conditions, but at the end of the day, (Vancouver College) had to play with the same conditions and they played better,” said STM head coach Bernie Kully. A majority of the STM seniors can look back on better days in a Knights’ jersey. The players won a 10th consecutive Grade 8 title for STM in 2007. They then competed in a pair of close

junior varity provincial finals the following two years, losing to W.J. Mouat by a touchdown in 2008 and to Centennial 24-22 on a frigidly cold night in Langley last season. That, and the embarrassing loss last Friday, will prepare the boys for a better finish next season, said Kully. “We have a lot coming back who have contributed to that change of culture, getting us back to where we’re supposed to be,” said Kully, who praised the team for a 7-4 season. “They have brought football back in the eyes of the community,” he added.

The Lake Erie rookie potted his sixth and seventh goals of the season, both on power plays. Olver currently leads the team in scoring with 13 points.

Women’s playoff run stopped by top NAIA team Tom Berridge

sports editor

Simon Fraser University’s run to the NAIA women’s soccer nationals was stopped by the No. 1 team in the nation. The Clan fell 2-1 to top-ranked Concordia University in the nationals opening round in Portland, Oregon on Saturday. Burnaby South grad Abbey Vogt helped tie the score 1-1 midway through the second half with a crossing pass that was finished off by Aly Benes in the 64th minute.

Swim: continued from page 29

Thomas More Collegiate in the girls’ 50m B fly. Slama also finished fifth in the 50m back. STM finished 13th in the combined team standings, including a 10th-place result for the boys’ team and a 13th-place finish by the girls. STM garnered a lot of points from its relay teams, including a bronze medal in the mixed 200m B free and a fifth-place finish in the 400m B girls’ free. The Knights also earned an eighth-place finish in the B boys’ 400m free relay. Howard Chen helped out with two championship final appearances. Chen was fifth in the boys’ 50m B back and sixth in the 50m free. Justin Kiedrzyn made the consolation final in the open boys’ 100m fly. New Westminster Secondary had a top-15 combined team finish, with the Hyack boys placing eighth overall. Matt Hua led the way with a bronze medal in the open boys’ 100m breast. Igor Gasovic-Varga was fifth in the open boys’ 200m IM. He also placed 10th in the 100m fly. Daniel Gomez was right behind Gasovic-Varga in the open boys’ IM, finishing in sixth spot. Gomez was also 12th in the 100m back. Jacqueline Chui made the final of the open girls’ 100m fly for the Hyacks. New West swimmers Hau-Li Fan, Keila Stark, Vincent Guindon and Kieren Wou also placed. Emil Maric had the best finish for Burnaby South, placing 13th in the open boys’ 50m free. Burnaby Mountain Manta swimmer Bonnie He had a pair of fourthplace finishes for David Thompson Secondary.

Concordia opened the scoring two minutes into the latter half on a Kaitlyn Tebbs strike after a scoreless opening frame. Tebbs also tallied the game-winner on a tap-in in

the 72nd minute. “It was a classic battle between two teams, and clearly both teams realized how much was at stake by the level of play,” said SFU head coach Shelley

Howieson in a prepared release. “I am so proud of the program on a day like this, and particularly our seniors. When you watch a group of young women

put it on the line like that – you don’t see it much these days – but tonight they did, and those performances are inspiring.” Clan keeper Amelia Ng and Concordia’s Tori

Talbutt both made three saves in their respective goals. SFU finished its inaugural season as an NCAA Division II school with an overall record of 11-5-3.

Near-perfect Clan upset en route Tom Berridge

sports editor

The Simon Fraser University Clan took a great fall in its quest for a NAIA national soccer title. The No. 2-ranked Clan outshot the University of Great Falls 24-3 but lost 1-0 on the scoreboard on a goal in the 21st minute by junior Ryan O’Neil. The game, part of a 16-site opening round, was played Sunday in Seattle due to snow in Bellingham on Saturday. Great Falls advanced

to the round of 16 national championships in Alabama Nov. 29 to Dec. 4. “Today we outshot a team and lost on their only threat,” said SFU head coach Alan Koch in a prepared release. “It is incredibly disappointing to lose with this talented group. However, an individual approach and cocky attitude was prevalent today and you will not win matches or have success in the game of life with this approach.” The loss left SFU with a record of 19-2-0.

Central out of provincials Burnaby Central’s up-and-down senior boys’ soccer post season took a nosedive following a decision by B.C. School Sports to remove the team from the upcoming provincials for fielding ineligible players. “We added two players to the roster in the zone playoffs believing we were allowed and able to do that,” said Central principal Roberto Bombelli. West Vancouver defeated Burnaby South 1-0 on Friday in a game to determine the No. 2 zone seed.
