The Community Safety Grant aims to encourage local residents and merchants to participate in community safety and livability by hosting neighbourhood safety meetings and events. These safety meetings or events are used as a forum to talk about crime prevention, whereby police staff or volunteers would like to attend and talk to your group or host an information booth. The Community Safety Grant is a way to promote safe, livable and cohesive neighbourhoods, which in turn build the best community in which to live, work and play.

Movember gets personal

Concussions are a game changer Mario Bartel photo@burnabynewsleader.com

or two months Kris Chucko measured the likelihood of resuming his hockey career with telephone poles. The former Burnaby Winter Club grad and ¿rstround choice of the Calgary Flames in the 2004 NHL entry draft was recovering from his second concussion in less than a year by taking walks from his Burnaby home. He would gauge whether he was getting better by counting the number of telephone poles he could pass before nausea and dizziness forced him to return home to ride out the constant headaches in isolation in a dark room. Chucko’s second concussion happened two games into his comeback from his ¿rst, which had cost him the last half of the 2009-10 season. Refreshed and strong again after a summer in which he was able to resume skating and working out, he was hoping to make it to the NHL from the Flames’ farm team in Abbotsford. He was chasing down an opponent behind the net in Milwaukee when he was coldcocked by the shoulder of an onrushing teammate. “We were going after the same guy I guess, and I just didn’t see him coming,” says Chucko of the devastating hit. “After that I felt sick, everything was spinning, I couldn’t look at light.”

‘EVERYTHING WAS SPINNING’

When Kris Chucko sustained his ¿rst concussion in a game against the Manitoba Moose in December, 2009, he didn’t really know what was wrong. He’d been hit from the side, crashing his head into the glass. “I got up, I didn’t think much about it,” says Chucko, who was given a memory test and passed with Àying colours. But after the game he felt tired, his eyes couldn’t focus. “I thought I was just extra tired, exhausted after the game,” says Chucko. Getting on a plane for a road trip the next day, he says he felt “under the weather.” When he next stepped on the ice he felt dizzy, “everything was spinning, it got worse and worse.” He didn’t put skates on again until May, 2010.

New WestminsterCoquitlam MP Fin Donnelly is joining the Movember movement to grow a moustache in honour of deceased NDP federal leader Jack Layton. Participants in the Movember campaign spend the month without shaving their moustache to bring awareness to prostate cancer—a disease that claimed Layton’s life earlier this year—and raise funds to Àght the disease. “This campaign is very personal to me,” said Donnelly. “It is a Àtting tribute to Jack. He was so positive throughout his illness; he would want us to continue to Àght this disease and to do so with style and grace.”

Twitter conﬂict Trustee candidate takes issue with allegation of conÁict of interest Grant Granger ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

School trustee Jim Goring, who is running for reelection on the Voice New Westminster slate, is upset about accusations in the Twittersphere charging him with conÀict of interest. But the author of the comments says they’re no different than the conÀictof-interest charges leveled by Voice in the past over labour-endorsed trustees being involved in union negotiations. New Westminster teacher Stacey Robinsmith, who sits on the local teachers union executive, wrote on Twitter that Goring was in conÀict when he negotiated in 2010 an agreement on the board’s behalf with the Massey Theatre. Robinsmith, who also runs a blog called theleftcoast.ca, said thenMassey board chair Mike Redmond had contributed to the Voice slate in 2008, so Goring should not have been part of the negotiating committee. “It’s along the same lines as Jim Goring and (Voice trustee) Casey Cook throwing it up continuously because there are teachers on the [board of education] and CUPE members on the board that there’s a conÀict [during contract negotiations],” said Robinsmith. “I believe it’s something that needs to be explored. I say it doesn’t pass the stink test. It’s Tea Party politics. It’s obstructionist. It’s slowing down the work of the board so labour-endorsed candidates can’t get anything done.”

Goring took exception to the Twitter attack. He said he was assigned to do the negotiations with Massey because he has experience in dealing with commercial leases. Also on the negotiating committee was trustee Lori Watt, who was endorsed by the New Westminster and District Labour Council and is employed by CUPE BC but is not running for reelection on Nov. 19. Goring said Redmond donated $120 to Voice in the 2008 campaign, and with the slate ¿elding 14 candidates that worked out to $8.57 each. “The elephant in the room is what is the amount you think is a conÀict,” said Goring. “Where’s the direct bene¿t to Mike and myself on that? If we want to talk about a single contribution, let’s talk about that and let’s have an open discussion about that. What he’s (Robinsmith) not saying is the tens of thousands of dollars that have been contributed to the district labour council’s campaigns. Are those not signi¿cant contributions?” Grant Osborne, president of the New Westminster Teachers Union, isn’t a Twitter follower so he wasn’t willing to wade in on the accusations about Goring. But, in general, he said, “There seems to be an assumption that the trustees are beholden to unions. We haven’t seen it. The conÀict of interest conversation is one that has gone both ways. Obviously it’s going to be part of this election and it seems to me all sides need to answer those questions. I would hope that all of them would be open to who they receive funds from.”

PUBLISHED & PRINTED BY BLACK PRESS LTD. at 7438 Fraser Park Drive, Burnaby, B.C. V5J 5B9

NEWSLEADER’S VIEW:

QUESTION OF THE WEEK:

What’s in a hairy lip?

LAST WEEK:

Men don’t like to think about their nether regions too much. Let alone talk about them. Movember is trying to change that. No, that’s not a spelling error. Movember started in 2003 as a bet between two buddies in Australia to see who could grow the best moustache. Some more friends and relatives joined in and started to turn the follicle challenge into an awareness and fundraising campaign for men’s health issues like prostate cancer. Last year, 447,808 registered participants raised $76.8 million worldwide; almost a third of that was raised by 119,000 Canadians. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer to affect Canadian men, afÀicting one in seven. It will kill 4,100 men this year. But if caught early, it is 90 per cent curable. Unfortunately, there aren’t a lot of symptoms to alert its presence. That’s why prostate Cancer Canada recommends men over 40 talk to their doctor about a prostate examination, including a prostate speci¿c antigen (PSA) blood test. For many men, that’s a rather uncomfortable proposition. But 25 years ago breast cancer lurked similarly in the shadows. Since then, swaddled in pink ribbons and balloons, propelled by runs, walks, rides and paddles, awareness about breast cancer and fundraising to help ¿nd its cure has exploded into the public consciousness. And it’s had a real impact. Since 1999, the incidence of breast cancer in Canada has stabilized, and since 1986 the death rate from breast cancer has dropped 30 per cent. More women are bene¿tting from better screening and advances in treatment. As yet there are not many mass runs for prostate cancer, no ribbons of reminder to be worn on lapels, no purple power tools to show support. But there is Movember. And it’s as simple as neglecting to shave for 30 days. Or pledging support to someone who’s participating.

Zalm joins Hydro conspiracy club VICTORIA – The smart meter installation van arrived on my street last week, as BC Hydro’s smart grid project heads toward the halfway mark. This system will not only detect outages, electricity loss and theft, it enables a voluntary time-of-use system where users can get a discount by shifting consumption to low-peak times. You could even set up wind or solar generation that the meter would record and subtract from your bill. But apparently no one wants to talk about that. Black Press papers continue to run letters with exaggerated or false claims that stoke baseless fear of radio waves. Where is this coming from? I’m grateful to the anonymous smartmeter foe who started sending me updates from “Citizens for Safe Technology,” a loose collection of U.S. and Canadian activists that claims to include doctors, lawyers and other professionals. Not much is professional about the Canadian content on their website. A video starts with a juvenile union parody showing executives

Tom Fletcher tÁetcher@blackpress.ca

plotting to sell BC Hydro to General Electric. Then it moves to an apparently serious interview with Bill Vander Zalm, who expands on his earlier conspiracy theory about the harmonized sales tax being part of a European Union plot for world domination. Vander Zalm asserts that smart meters and appliances create such a powerful surveillance network, “they’ll even know what you’re cooking.” There are those who claim smart meters can tell what channel your TV is on, but this is the ¿rst I’ve heard about them detecting whether you’re having eggs or oatmeal for breakfast. And who might “they” be? “The big picture is of course that we’re moving to globalization,” Vander Zalm intones. “Eventually

we’ll be governed out of Brussels, Belgium or someplace like that. And this all ties into that. They can monitor what’s happening anywhere in the world. It’s Big Brother. We’ll be totally controlled.” He stops just short of what I’ll call the Full Tinfoil, a belief that these radio waves control minds directly. Wildlife artist Robert Bateman also makes an ass of himself in a brief video, where he describes hiring someone to come in and detect “hot” wiring in his Saltspring Island mansion. (A surprising number of selfappointed smart meter experts sell measuring and “shielding” services.) A reader sent me a newspaper commentary by Nelson-Creston MLA Michelle Mungall, basically a vague summary of NDP talking points about smart meters being too expensive and a possible health threat. This is interesting, because Nelson owns its own power utility, which started installing wireless meters in 2004. They ¿nished last year, with no protest. I asked Mungall why. She was

on the city council that chose a different model, a “drive-by” meter. They broadcast readings every 15 seconds and still need meter readers, who no longer have to get out of their trucks. BC Hydro’s meters signal only three or four times a day, but one of the oft-repeated false claims is that they secretly transmit much more often with some sort of damaging energy pulses. And yet these granola-loving West Kootenay folks cheerfully endure a 24/7 bombardment of what are essentially brief cellphone signals. Mungall said Nelson council speci¿cally rejected a smart grid system, “because of the cost.” Somehow retaining meter readers saves the city money. She noted that rural parts of her constituency are serviced by BC Hydro, and some people are very concerned. I’ll bet they are. Not just in West Kootenay, but a few other remote areas known for production of B.C.’s number one cash crop. ■ Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

I attended the demolition of the Woodlands centre block tower on behalf of my darling wife Carol, a former resident. I held her photo high on a stick, anxiously waiting to see it fall. I saw Mayor Wright in the crowd, and it took 25 minutes to convince myself that I could approach him and say hello. I have always wanted to meet Mayor Wright, so with a friend’s help assuring me, I walked up and met him. He read my sign and saw my wife’s photo, and we chatted for a bit. I explained why my wife was not there with me, because she is afraid of crowds, because of her frightful life inside the walls of Woodlands. I will always remember Mayor Wright’s private conversation with me. He said, with his arm over my shoulder: “Mike if I could turn the clocks back in time I would, and make life better for all who suffered here.” Mayor Wright really made me feel a whole lot better inside. In my opinion he is a person with a true caring spirit. My wife Carol asked me today to take her for a walk, for the ¿rst time. Thank you for the conversation, Mayor Wright. Mike Picton, New Westminster

TIME FOR ACTION IN QUEENSBOROUGH At the conclusion of the recent all-candidates meeting in Queensborough it looked as though most incumbents just want to maintain the status quo while two ex-councillors wish to be recycled. The promise from our mayor and other incumbents to deal with open ditches in Queensborough from previous campaigns was defended by “things take longer than you think,” “we are working on it” and so on. Nine years ago, Wright promised to look after it and six years ago so did Harper. Our own Sukh Sidhu, with community help has done more in the last two years to get this job moving than this council has done over the years. Even James Bell, a new face on the scene, commented on the hazards these open ditches are to pedestrians and cars. We need fresh faces, ideas and people who will engage with the residents and taxpayers to make our city even better, more inviting, and a true community where everyone is included, consulted with and welcomed. Gavin Palmer Voice candidate for city council

MYTHS AND REALITY MYTH: Turnstiles stop fare evasion. MATH: If fare evasion is only 2.5 per cent, why spend $171 million to recover $6.4 million? No accountant, or successful business owner would. MYTH: Turnstiles are the magic solution. MATH: For the same reason we still use QWERTY to type on computers. When typewriters were invented women were too fast and the typewriter keys jammed. So men mixed up the letters QWERTY to slow women down, but women still succeeded. Turnstiles slow people down, make transit worse, pose a real danger to children and people with physical limitations, damage bikes and strollers, but proprietary turnstile corporations who make and install them get rich!

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT? Re: Long road to ‘community living’ (BC Views, NewsLeader, Oct. 26) One can only think that Tom Fletcher has never really been associated with any of our vulnerable citizens, and if he has it’s probably just a hello. Already 200 thrown out of their homes, and never to see their family in those group homes again. It is 200 and growing until we all start to stand up and ¿ght. Now they are put away in basements with no friends and as one said on TV it is very lonely. What are their legal rights? Tom, it seems you haven’t read or watched TV very much about what is happening, and now we ¿nd out that employees overseeing some of this have been ripping off our tax dollars by having their own basement for these citizens and charging way more than the regular price. Give your head a shake. If you want to make a statement, ask where was the NDP last year when this all started. How would you like to be thrown out of your home and taken away from your family there? Sleep on this if you can. Barbara Der, New Westminster

POOR POLITICS I have been a student, participant, and observer of politics all of my adult life. To me, candidates running for of¿ce should have two qualities: a positive attitude about government and a vision with a broad base of support to see that vision become a reality. Campaigns and an election are nothing more than individuals applying for work. In this case elected of¿ce. The ones who do the hiring are the voting public. I certainly would think twice about hiring an individual who castigates the very employer he or she is seeking employment from. Likewise, I have never understood a so-called populist or self-appointed citizen advocate who rails against government only to turn around and ask to be a part of such government. It sounds like the old Ronald Reagan line, “Government is not the solution to our problem. Government is the problem.” The same government who educates our children, maintains our streets and parks and a myriad of other services people tend to forget about come election time. Last month, I wrote a viewpoint piece about train noise and condos in the Quayside neighbourhood for this paper. Never mentioned any names but one mayoral candidate took exception to the piece and wrote a long response—a diatribe if you will—against me personally as a citizen and resident and questioned my motives rather than address the issue at hand: noise at the Quay. He even went as far as to say I was wrong in stating that railroads don’t pay property taxes. According to the City of New Westminster, railroads like all other property owners pay property taxes. In this case $200,000 annually. Lastly, if a candidate attacked me personally rather than say, “Well Scott, it looks like we have a different point of view but I respect your view”, I’d think twice about voting for them.

put into project development and site investigation. That puts the cumulative costs at $19 million. “[The cost] speaks to one of the reasons why the ministry is being careful in reviewing all the details in making sure the project does go ahead effectively,” said project manager Jim Alkins. School board chair Michael Ewen said the original planning costs—the portion “written off”—weren’t a total waste of money. “The (phrase) ‘written off’ is the wrong term,” Ewen said in reference to Sommerfeldt’s choice of words. “A lot of the material that we received from the project is still useful material. The survey material, and the ground work material will still be useful in the project. The only thing that really was written off was the architect’s fees.” He pegged those at being in the $3 million range. Ewen points out the money has been spent by the provincial government, not the school district. “It’s capital funds from the province. It’s not operating funds,” said Ewen. “I think [the Ministry of Education has] realized this is an extraordinarily

complex situation and hopefully we’ve sorted it out and we’re almost ready to move forward.” Trustee Jim Goring, a candidate for the Voice slate, said the Grant Granger district was fortunate the ministry ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com was able to acquire the St. Mary’s The total price tag, so far, for land at a good price.

CARRIER OF THE WEEK:

KRISTA

I have been delivering newspapers for the Burnaby NewsLeader for about seven months. I think that a paper route is a good way for kids to get experience working and that all kids should do a paper route. It has been a good opportunity for me to understand what a job would feel like. The people that I deliver to are great because they always say thank you. I always try to deliver my newspapers on time. I believe that I am helping my community. Even though it is not a big job, I Ă&#x20AC;nd it helps little by little. This job has been easier than I thought it would. My supervisor Andy gives me delivery tips and guidelines. With his help it has been easier along the way. It is an honor to be chosen as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Career of the Weekâ&#x20AC;?. I hope that everyone reading my message has a great day!

If you are interested in becoming a carrier for the NewsLeader or would like to nominate a carrier please call 604.436.2472 Thank you to Panago (Kingsway & Arcola) for their kind sponsorship of the Carrier of the Week program.

Garbage fees soar in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;frugalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Metro budget Get ready to pay more for regional utilities â&#x20AC;&#x201C; especially garbage disposal â&#x20AC;&#x201C; next year. Metro Vancouver will raise the garbage tipping fee at its transfer stations Jan. 1 from $97 to $107 per tonne, an increase of more than 10 per cent. A sluggish economy means less garbage is being generated and less tipping fees are collected, so the region has had to increase the rate to cover the Ă&#x20AC;xed costs of the wastedisposal system. The Metro board on Friday passed a $614-million budget, which is up 1.2 per cent overall.

Infrastructure falling behind pace of development: Palmer Grant Granger ggranger@newwestnewsleader.com

New Westminster residents can’t turn around without seeing a new development going up, or about to go up. Even though it’s a city with limited land space, there are projects popping up all over the place. Downtown is Àush with several high rises either newly built, under construction or in the planning stages. Victoria Hill is a growing neighbourhood. The Brewery District is rising out of the rubble of Labatt Brewery in Sapperton. One side of the freeway that cuts through Queensborough has gone from sawmills to stores, enormous warehouses and a casino, with more on the way. The other side is booming with residential projects. Some candidates for city council in the Nov. 19 civic elections are quite comfortable with the pace of development. Others, like Gavin Palmer of Voice, wonder if it’s not time for the city to PALMER take its foot off the accelerator. While development is important, Palmer said plans have to be followed and city services have to keep up. “The infrastructure is falling behind,” said Palmer, who stepped aside from his post as president of the Queensborough Residents Association to take a run at a council seat. “Without sounding pessimistic there are some concerns, but we can work our way out of it. I think we have to slow down on the permits and the approvals until we have a better understanding in terms of infrastructure and schools, the roadways.” Coun. Bill Harper, who has been endorsed by the New Westminster and District Labour Council is “quite happy” with the pace of development. He said the Brewery District is “a huge boon to the Sapperton area, Queensborough development is going a long way toward replacing lost industrial

tax revenue, and Downtown has been in need of revitalization for decades.” “We have been very conscious of [Downtown development] in the last few years,” Harper added. “City council has talked about that for the last 50 years and nobody’s done anything about it and now we have.” Harper said one future development that excites him is the HARPER 38-acre Bentall site on Braid Street because of its potential to bring in not only more residents but lots of employment. “The number of jobs that are coming out of this is phenomenal,” said Harper. All of it helps to ¿ll the city coffers, something that’s needed to pay for such things as rebuilding the Canada Games Pool, which Harper said would be a $52-million project. “We can’t even begin to do that unless we have a solid tax base.” For Harper, even without development, traf¿c will always be an issue in New Westminster. It’s a matter of managing it, not reducing it, and making sure it doesn’t intrude on neighbourhoods, said Harper. Independent candidate Cal Donnelly, a former councillor, is glad to see the positive development market in New West. However, he doesn’t want to see the pace picked up too quickly. “We have to look at a steady progressive type thing. We don’t want to overwhelm the city. DONNELLY These are quality developments. You don’t want development for development’s sake,” said Donnelly. Although he is concerned about the traf¿c issues that new projects can create, he said new development is positive in that a lot of infrastructure can come as a result of the new taxes generated and development cost charges. “The amenities will come with the development,” said Donnelly.

oniLyn Sanders is coming home. Or rather, the money she raises to help orphaned pets is. After 17 years of donating the proceeds from the thrift store she runs on 12th Street to the SPCA, she’s now supporting the New Westminster animal shelter and its effort to build a new, larger facility. “People like to keep it local,” says Sanders. “This move means there will be more of a connection to where the money is going to help.” It also means a new name for her shop, which has become a bit of an institution with its eclectic array of used clothing, furniture and household knick-knacks; the new sign will read Shop 4 Paws Thrift Store.

His second concussion was worse. He spent more than two weeks in a completely dark room. He couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t open the blinds, watch TV or even use his cellphone; the slightest exposure to light sent bolts of pain through his bruised brain. He couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exercise. He suffered a constant headache for more than Âżve months. And while everyone told him to take it easy, not worry about it and the symptoms would eventually subside, he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but worry. About his health. About his future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sit at home without thinking about it,â&#x20AC;? says Chucko. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re an athlete the way you relieve stress is through physical activity, working out, but thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way to get rid of the stress from a concussion when you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do any physical activity.â&#x20AC;?

CHOICEquotes Bjorn Osieck, B.C. Soccer Association The Ă&#x20AC;rst premise is to keep it simple. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not expecting anyone to earn a PhD in concussions. We have to give them tangible guidelines. SPORTS GROUPS PROACTIVE Sports associations are working hard to get ahead of the issue, giving administrators and coaches the tools to better recognize and manage head injuries, says Rizzardo. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My talk with Burnaby Minor wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have happened Âżve years ago.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to be ahead of the curve,â&#x20AC;? says Lalji. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Athletes are bigger, faster, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re generating more speed through contact.â&#x20AC;? Last spring, Lalji had all 70 kids in the NWSS football program take a 10-minute online test that measured their reaction speed, cognitive ability, attention and memory. Their scores formed a baseline against which they could be compared should they sustain a head injury. His program is one of Âżve or six in B.C. High School Football that participated in the voluntary tests. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoping theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be made mandatory. High school teams are also now required to have qualiÂżed medical care available on the sidelines, from a doctor, certiÂżed athletic therapist, Level 2 physiotherapist or a certiÂżed First Aid attendant

whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also completed a special course in head injury management. The sport itself has also changed. Headshots are penalized. And where once coaches taught players to ram their helmets into opposing players to inĂ&#x20AC;ict maximum damage, coaches now instruct players to practise â&#x20AC;&#x153;safe tackling,â&#x20AC;? leading with their shoulders, keeping their head and eyes up. In amateur community football, coaches are required to review all education material about concussions sent to them by Football BC, including a handy pocket-sized card that outlines what a concussion is, the symptoms, what should be done if a player is suspected of having a concussion and the six steps a player must take before returning to action. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As soon as somebody gets a shot in the head, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot more followup,â&#x20AC;? says Dino Geremia, Football BCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s technical director and also the linebacker coach at Simon Fraser University. But Lalji says thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still more that could be done to lessen the danger of concussions in football, like restricting the amount of contact in practices. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a cumulative effect when players sustain a lot of hits in practice, then they get hit even more in games,â&#x20AC;? says Lalji, whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lost three of his players to concussion so far this season. Soccer is also stepping up its vigilance to head injuries, says Osieck. The B.C. Soccer Association has formed a close partnership with the Washington Youth Soccer Association, which has become a leader in educating its members about concussions with its â&#x20AC;&#x153;when in doubt, sit them outâ&#x20AC;? program that mandates any athlete whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sustained a blow to the head must not play again until they can be properly assessed by a doctor. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also collaborating with Sports Medicine BC to create resource materials for coaches and draft soccer-speciÂżc guidelines for concussion management. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The challenge is getting that education to a large, diverse contingent of volunteers,â&#x20AC;? says Osieck. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Âżrst premise is to keep it simple. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not expecting anyone to earn a PhD in concussions. We have to give them tangible guidelines.â&#x20AC;? BC Hockey has a number of resources available on its website, including links to videos produced by Hockey Canada demonstrating new rules that penalize head contact and Hockey Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own concussion card.

The BC Rugby Union, which administers 7,500 registered members and thousands more playing in the province’s high schools, also works with medical professionals who comprise a standing committee that meets regularly to keep up with the evolution of the game and tweak the Safe Rugby program that is taught to all coaches. “The best thing we can do is identify the issues before they become prevalent,” says BC Rugby’s executive director Jeff Sauvé. “The game is managed with safety in mind. It drives all our decisions.” Rizzardo says the medical profession also has to gain better knowledge about concussions. “There has to be better education for regular family doctors because that’s where most people are going to go and the docs are missing it,” says Rizzardo. “If you miss a concussion, it can be a big problem.”

experts, they’re not the ones who’ve had concussions,” says Chucko. “Basically you’re your own doctor.” Chucko hasn’t been back on the ice since that fateful blow in Milwaukee. He recently announced his retirement from hockey. He’s returned to the University of Minnesota, where he played on a scholarship for two years before he turned pro. He’s studying business management, taking advantage of a program that allows former student athletes to ¿nish out their scholarships. “I thought it would be better to strengthen my brain through education,” says Chucko. He still suffers from the effects of his concussions, like random Àashes. A whiplash injury related to his concussion has left him with a sore and cracking neck. He can’t lift grocery bags into the back seat of his car without pain. Even a bout of seasickness while he was on his honeymoon in Hawaii last summer may have been concussion-related. “You’re always wondering whether the concussion is still affecting you,” says Chucko. “The unknown is the scary part. An athlete can build muscle and strength, but you can’t strengthen what holds your brain together.”

Key client lost Metro garbage burner loses key energy customer with closure of Norampac mill Jeff Nagel jnagel@blackpress.ca

Metro Vancouver’s garbage incinerator in south Burnaby is being forced to retool because it can no longer sell steam to an adjacent industrial plant. The Norampac linerboard mill – which was the only buyer of steam from the waste-to-energy plant – will close down in December, parent ¿rm Cascades Inc. announced. That means Metro must upgrade the incinerator at a cost of $4.2 million to turn all of the steam it generates into electricity for sale to the power grid, said Metro utility planning manager Toivo Allas. The incinerator burns 285,000 tonnes of garbage per year and about a third of the steam produced was piped next door to Norampac. Selling steam was more lucrative than selling electricity, so the conversion will cut into Metro’s revenue. The region earned $11 million from the waste-to-energy plant last year and senior engineers say that will drop to about $7 million next year because of the loss of steam sales.

They expect revenue will rebound, but how much depends on Metro securing a higher electricity rate from BC Hydro when the power sales contract is renegotiated in 2013. Metro hopes most of the electricity output from the incinerator will be counted as green energy and fetch a higher price under B.C.’s Clean Energy Act. Right now about 63 per cent of the electricity would qualify because it is derived from organic and other non-fossil fuel sources. The region has also considered building a pipeline to carry hot water eight kilometres west to heat a huge housing development being built in southeast Vancouver. The challenges selling steam may provide lessons for Metro as it plans to build new waste-to-energy plants to handle an extra 500,000 tonnes of garbage that the region will stop sending to the Cache Creek land¿ll. Of¿cials hope any new plant or plants can be located where they can tie into a district energy system serving a cluster of buildings or industries, rather than be tied to a single customer. The extra revenue versus just generating electricity could save taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars over the life of the plant, Metro has estimated.
