Firefightersstill raiseambulance response concernsBCEHS says paramedics getting to urgent cases fasterWanda Chow and Jeff [email protected]

Burnaby firefighters and politicians continue to question the changes in protocol they say are compromising the response times of ambulances and paramedics.

Earlier this month, Burnaby deputy fire chief administration Joe Robertson wrote to Dr. William Dick, vice-president of medical programs for B.C. Emergency Health Services (BCEHS), outlining 11 cases involving waits of more than an hour since the change in late October.

They include a 90-year-old woman who fell, had a large laceration the back of the head and no memory of the incident.

“Unable to control bleed,” the letter said. The ambulance arrived one hour and 23 minutes after firefighters.

A 26-year-old woman waited one hour and 53 minutes after suffering a seizure and falling off a massage table, sustaining a possible head injury.

There appears to be no shortage of people trying to replace incumbent Kennedy Stewart as MP in North Burnaby.

The riding of Burnaby-Douglas has been reconfigured to include North Vancouver in the next federal election and will be known as Burnaby North-Seymour.

The New Democrat Stewart announced last year he will run for the NDP nomination in another

new riding, Burnaby South. As for Burnaby-North Seymour,

local boy Trevor Ritchie has thrown his hat in the ring to vie for the NDP nomination.

A Burnaby North secondary grad, Ritchie has a bachelor degree in political science from the University of British Columbia and is currently pursuing a bachelor of education degree, also at UBC.

A frequent writer of letters to local newspapers, he has worked

as a tutor with students with behavioural or cognitive challenges.

The Conservatives also have two candidates running for their nomination.

Burnaby resident Daren Hancott previously served as chief administrative officer at University Canada West and is a past-chair of the B.C. Chamber of Commerce.

He has also held executive posts at Seafood Products Ltd. and the University of Phoenix.

“I have left the corporate world to try my hand at politics,” Hancott said by email.

Hancott is a member of the Knights of Columbus and is still involved with the B.C. Chamber of Commerce as a member of its policy review committee, which writes and reviews policies for small business in the province.

His education includes a bachelor of commerce from Memorial University.

This weekBurnaby Heights is

welcoming foodies to its annual dine-out event, Crave, running April 22 to 24.

The event features 16 Heights restaurants and specialty food shops. Each offers set menus at $15, $20 and $25 price points.

“The Heights is a special place, rich in multiculturalism,” said Isabel Kolic of the Heights Merchants Association. “Crave is a perfect way to not only experience this strong sense of culture, but also to discover the variety of amazing eateries available on the Heights.”

For information, including menus and reservations, visit www.Crave TheHeights.com.

Talent takes the stage of Michael J. Fox Theatre on Wednesday, April 23 at 7 p.m. Hosted by the District Student Advisory Council, the district-wide charity talent show benefits the Burnaby Children’s Fund which assists local children living in poverty. Performers have been chosen through talent shows at each high school.

The event is organized by student leaders from the city’s high schools, with the help of teachers and administrators. Tickets are $10 adult and $7 student, and available at the door or reserved online at bit.ly/bgt2014tickets/.

Infocus OPINION page 6 | LETTERS page 7

A 103-year-old man fell from his wheelchair and suffered a head injury. He waited an hour and 13 minutes. And a 77-year-old man who had fallen and lay on the floor for two days without food or water waited another hour and eight minutes for an ambulance after firefighters first arrived.

A 60-year-old woman suffered a shoulder and arm injury after falling down the stairs but waited two hours and one minute for paramedics to show up. While she had normal vital signs, “non-emerg is appropriate yet two hours is a long time.”

There were an additional 67 incidents during the same time period—November through March—where ambulances arrived more than 30 minutes after firefighters, Robertson wrote.

The province is sticking to its contentious decision to stop dispatching ambulances at high speed for less urgent medical calls and municipal fire department first responders are being urged to adopt the same approach.

Officials at BCEHS have been on the defensive since the November implementation of their new Resource Allocation Plan, which slowed ambulances to posted speeds for dozens of types of routine calls with stable patients.

Ambulance response times have since averaged six minutes slower provincially and 10 minutes slower in the Lower Mainland for the downgraded calls, according to BCEHS, while enabling about one minute faster

responses on urgent lights-and-siren emergencies.

Lower Mainland fire chiefs and city councils have denounced the changes as a service reduction and cite extreme delays for ambulances arriving at downgraded calls.

“We’re absolutely confident that we’re correct in the assignments that we’ve changed,” said Dr. William Dick, interim vice-president of medical programs at BCEHS. “We are getting to sicker patients faster.”

He and other officials at a media briefing last week argued against sending municipal first responders at high speed to calls that aren’t medically urgent when those firefighters can only provide “comfort care” while waiting longer for ambulance paramedics to arrive under their revised protocol.

First responders are now “unnecessarily” rushing with lights and siren to 35 per cent of their calls, according to George Papadopoulos, quality and safety director at BCEHS.

“That has created a gap in response time that is being used in the media to say there’s downloading [of ambulance costs to cities],” he said. “If they implemented the changes that we’ve implemented for ourselves there would be no gap in the response times. And therefore no argument around downloading.”

Cities could save money if they adopted the same rules for their first responders, BCEHS says, and also reduce the risk of crashes between their responding fire trucks and the public.

There were 225 ambulance

crashes with the public while lights and sirens were on in the last three years, and passing emergency vehicles are also blamed in other “wake collisions” where other vehicles collide trying to get out of the way.

BCEHS spokesperson Kelsie Carwithen confirmed that Dick received the Burnaby fire department’s letter and will be reviewing the calls mentioned.

The “majority of calls [resulting in long waits] that are being brought forward are extremely rare cases and not the norm,” she said by email. “In Burnaby, we are seeing a 20 second improvement in our code 3 response times since the changes were implemented.”

Burnaby-Deer Lake NDP MLA Kathy Corrigan noted that firefighters are trained mostly in basic first aid and not to assess patients or provide medical treatment.

To not have paramedics available in a timely fashion to take over is “rolling the

dice.”“How can you say

when someone is in the middle of a second-trimester miscarriage and is bleeding heavily, that this is not appropriate for an ambulance? It’s preposterous,” she said, calling it “another download onto municipal governments.”

Burnaby Coun. Colleen Jordan was among city officials that met with Dick last week to discuss their concerns. She came away feeling the resource allocation plan is “a way of rationing the service” due to a lack of resources.

Jordan scoffed at BCEHS advocating that municipal fire departments follow their lead in not always rushing to calls with lights and sirens. “Ask the people that are laying on the sidewalk and they want people to come.”

At last Monday’s council meeting, Mayor Derek Corrigan recounted a case he heard of Burnaby

firefighters arriving at a single-vehicle accident but not being able to determine what was wrong with the driver.

They called for an ambulance but, due to their lack of training, couldn’t identify any serious symptoms. Fortunately, a passerby who is a doctor had a look and discovered the driver was having a heart attack, which likely caused the accident.

The doctor was able to reprioritize the call to an urgent ambulance response. The firefighters said otherwise it may have been an hour before paramedics arrived.

“I worry we’re going to lose a life. I think it’s just a matter of time,” the mayor said. “We have to have the resources to be able to respond to an accident in a timely manner. Waiting an hour could cost someone their life. This incident really brought that home to me.”

Burnaby firefighters say they’ve seen several examples of ambulances arriving more than an hour after first responders since the new response allocation plan went into effect in late October.

A North Burnaby neighbourhood was awoken early Sunday morning by the sound of shots being fired.

Police officers responded after receiving several calls of shots possibly being fired in the 4400-block of Carleton Avenue at about 5:30 a.m., said Burnaby RCMP Staff Sgt. Ghalib Bhayani on Monday.

Officers found a number of shell casings “outside a residence that’s known to police,” Bhayani said.

The investigation was turned over to the Burnaby RCMP’s serious crimes unit, which responded Sunday and then

revisited the scene on Monday looking for additional evidence.

While initially police believed there had been a shooting victim, that’s no longer the case, Bhayani said.

“We’ve been in touch with all the hospitals … but nobody’s come in with a gunshot wound. At this point in time we don’t believe we have a victim but still we’re trying to move this forward.”

The possibility of there being a victim was raised when blood was found but investigators now believe that was from an unrelated injury to someone.

Two “persons of interest” known to police were arrested

and have since been released without charges.

“No one was injured inside the home and again, the house is known to police. The occupants of the residence are known to police,” he said.

“Obviously this is concerning in a neighbourhood like that but we have been receiving information from the neighbours and a number of witnesses have come forward as well.”

Burnaby RCMP is asking for the public’s help in trying to figure out what happened. Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call police at 604-294-7922.

5,400 calls were made to BC One Call before people started digging. Despite that, the city still saw 44 third-party natural gas line hits. Info: fortisbc.com/safety or bconecall.bc.ca.

A Burnaby musician who got a break when he was young that helped fire his musical ambitions is hoping to give similar opportunities to aspiring bassoonists in the Philippines.

Isaac Bull, a professional bassoonist, has launched a fundraising campaign on the crowdsourcing website Indiegogo to raise money to buy instruments, supplies, music books and ongoing lessons for members of the Orchestra of the Filipino Youth.

The orchestra is comprised of 90-100 young people, aged 12-18, who are handpicked from various ensembles around the Philippines. Many are from underprivileged families and travel to Manila at least one day a week for lessons, practices and performances.

The orchestra was founded in 2012 by Filipino pianist Jose Antonio Abreu. Bull, whose wife is from the Philippines, is a close friend of one of the orchestra’s major supporters, Jovianney Emmanuel Cruz.

On a recent visit Bull, who plays on a freelance basis in such groups as the Vancouver Symphony and the Vancouver Opera Orchestra, was able to make a stop in Manila where the youth orchestra is headquartered. He coached some of the young musicians. He brought them a fistful of handmade reeds. And he saw the possibility of doing more.

The experience, Bull said, reminded him of a kind, guiding hand he got from a bassoonist in the New

Westminster Symphony named Paul Woods when he attended a concert with his brother many years ago. Woods let Bull play his giant contrabass bassoon, and handed him some of his own reeds.

Bull, who was just beginning to learn how to play the bassoon, was so impressed he convinced his parents he should take lessons from his new hero even though it meant a long, arduous trip from their home to Vancouver’s West Side.

Bull went on to study music at UBC and he’s played professionally for 25 years in addition to his steady job as a paralegal.

Bull said he was struck by the dedication and focus of the young Filipino musicians. Their instruments are of inferior quality, and there aren’t enough. The orchestra, supported by corporate sponsorship and donations, can’t afford insurance for the instruments, so the kids can’t take them home to hone their skills. Supplies like reeds, mouthpieces

and even supportive straps are lacking.

“It’s hard when you’re playing a new instrument just once a week,” said Bull. “It really slows down the learning process.”

That’s especially true for the bassoon, a complex and expensive instrument. Bull said a new, quality bassoon can cost 200,000 pesos in the Philippines. But the average family is lucky to earn 10,000 pesos a year.

So when Bull recently returned from his month-long visit, he set out to raise $35,000 to help his new musical friends and proteges out.

He’s got less than 60 days to fulfill his Indiegogo campaign, but he hopes he’ll be able to make a difference.

“Here kids have so much on their plate. But over there they’ve made the choice. They’re making some sacrifices but they’ve decided they’re worth making. It’s heartwarming.”

I am the majority owner of Black Press, the company that owns this newspaper. This is the first of two columns addressing what I see as the greatest threat to the B.C. environment in our lifetime. I am a reasonably sensible and conservative businessman, not an alarmist. All of the information in this column can be confirmed from public sources.

The oil industry wants to export Alberta bitumen to Asia via tankers. Under no circumstances should we allow that to happen. A bitumen spill at sea could destroy our coastline, together with the fish and wildlife that depend on it, for hundreds of years.

Bitumen, even if it is diluted, does not float in sea water if there is sediment present. This has been proven many times, most recently in a thorough Environment Canada study published on Nov. 30, 2013. Page 51 of the study provides graphic evidence of sunken bitumen. Given that there is an abundance of sediment along the B.C. coast, the bitumen will sink rapidly and there will be little chance of recovering any of it if there is a spill.

By Northern Gateway’s own admission the likelihood of a bitumen spill at sea is over 10 per cent over the next 50

years. Others say that it is much higher. We are in agreement with the position taken by the Coastal First Nations that even the slightest risk of a spill of bitumen at sea is unacceptable.

The grounding of the Exxon Valdez in Alaska in 1989 is often held up as an example of how bad an oil spill at sea can be, however, a spill of bitumen at sea would be much worse. The Exxon Valdez carried light crude and lost 250,000 barrels, one-eighth of a tanker load.

The light oil floated and could be removed from the beaches. Even so, after four years of work with up to 11,000 workers and 1,400 boats involved, less than 10 per cent of it was recovered. Roughly 200,000 birds and many kinds of other wildlife were killed.

Approximately 1,300 miles of shoreline were affected and the fishery has yet to fully recover. Bitumen is very different. It would harden up on shore and much of it would sink to the bottom, making it unrecoverable

and killing virtually everything with which it comes in contact. Imagine if we lost a full tanker load.

Some say that, with GPS-based navigation and double hulls, spills such as Exxon Valdez are not possible today. They are wrong. Double hulls do not prevent hull fracture if there is a collision at speed, only if there is a gentle scrape. As for the GPS claim, most marine accidents are caused by human inattention, not by a lack of knowledge about position. All ships carried systems to indicate their location before GPS came along. The Exxon Valdez crew could have glanced at their instruments to determine their location but they didn’t, neither did the crew on the Queen of the North. Marine disasters regularly occur and a quick search of the Internet shows human error is most often the problem. Undoubtedly there will be many more marine accidents in future. Our grandchildren will not thank us if we willingly risk the destruction of the B.C. coast on our watch.

Fortunately there is a solution that is beneficial for all concerned: all we have to do is build a refinery at Kitimat. The refinery will convert the bitumen to gasoline, diesel and jet fuel which float and evaporate if they are spilled. Often little or

no spill remediation is required. These refined fuels simply do not cause the habitat destruction of conventional or synthetic crude oil, or anywhere near the devastation caused by bitumen.

The second part of this OP-ED will run in the next issue. It will discuss the enormous value-added benefits and environmental advantages of a modern green refinery. The pipeline from Alberta and the tanker fleet to export the refined fuels will also be considered.

Let me declare my biases. I am for creating thousands of good permanent jobs in B.C. I am for creating billions of new tax dollars for government coffers. I am for reducing the planet’s greenhouse gas emissions. I am for building an oil pipeline that will never leak.

I am for building a modern tanker fleet that carries only refined fuels that float and evaporate if spilled. I am against shipping bitumen in tankers.

If you agree that we should not put bitumen in tankers please contact your local MP and say so.

The Canadian government makes a decision on this next month.

David Black is majority owner of Black Press, and lives in Victoria.

We shouldn’t ship bitumen on B.C.’s coast

Some Albertans just can’t understand it, but many B.C. residents do not want to roll over and do everything the oil and gas industry pushes for. And much of this resistance is not from those described as far-out environmentalists, but comes from business people and ordinary citizens who live here and don’t want to take unnecessary risks with the environment.

The latest proof of this comes with Eagle Spirit Energy, which is proposing a pipeline alternative to Northern Gateway. It already has significant buy-in from First Nations groups in northern B.C., and if enough financial resources are made available, it just might work.

Interestingly enough, Eagle Spirit is working with the Aquilini Group, owner of the Vancouver Canucks. The Aquilini family are based in B.C., have operated businesses here for years, and understand the province quite well.

The same can be said for David Black, whose company owns this newspaper. He is heading a plan to build a refinery at Kitimat to ship refined oil products across the ocean — not bitumen. Eagle Spirit also opposes shipping of bitumen from B.C. ports, feeling the environmental risks are simply too high.

Meanwhile, residents of Kitimat, a town which would benefit economically from Northern Gateway’s proposed terminus, voted 58 per cent recently in a non-binding referendum against Northern Gateway’s plans.

Most British Columbians are not anti-oil. They do want oil and gas companies to respect First Nations whose territories are affected by pipeline routes, and they value the environment. They want jobs and growth, but not at any price.

That nuanced stance is rarely understood in Calgary.

COMMENT

Re: Ukraine independence a failed experiment (Letters, NewsLeader, April 16)

Gloria Karadeniz’s letter shows her own ignorance of Ukrainian history.

She would have us believe that Ukraine is being run by jack-booted Nazis.

Nothing could be further from the truth.

The Ukrainian people have fought for centuries against Russian imperialism.

The Russians have suppressed the language and culture of Ukraine for centuries. To this day, there are no Ukrainian-language schools in Russia. Putin is on record stating that Ukraine is not even a state.

Many people of Ukrainian ancestry that have achieved fame have been called Russian by the re-writers of Russian history, including Peter Tchaikovsky (Chaika), Dostoevsky, Ihor Sikorsky (inventor of the helicopter), Sergey Korolev (the designer of the Soviet space program) and many, many more so-called Russians.

Under the brutal rule of Stalin, the murdered 10 to 12 million Ukrainians were replaced by non-Ukrainian Russians. That why there’s dissent in eastern Ukraine. They are not even Ukrainians but Russian loyalists with no interest in ever being Ukrainians.

As for the embracing of Nazism during the Second World War, this was a direct result of the brutal treatment under Russian communism.

As for Crimea, there was no mention on the ballot of an option to stay in Ukraine. The referendum was boycotted by the ethnic Tatars, who also suffered under Stalin.

The economy of Ukraine was pillaged by Yanukovich, a puppet of Putin. I recommend Ms. Karadeniz read Borderland by Anna Read, a British journalist who spent five years in Ukraine.

As Hillary Clinton said, the similarities between Putin and Hitler should not be ignored.

Ukraine is not and will never be Russia. We in the West should be wary of Putin and his dreams of rebuilding a new empire, for just as Hitler, he will see concessions as weakness.

One need only ask the Poles, Hungarians, Latvians, Lithuanians, Estonians and Romanians their reaction to Ukraine’s crisis, as they also have large numbers of “threatened” Russian inhabitants.

Public ed needs ProPer funding

I am a Burnaby teacher. I recently attended the

budget meeting for the Burnaby School Board and it left me disheartened. The province requires school boards to create balanced budgets based on such limited financial resources that programs will need to be cut, jobs lost, students will suffer, and teachers and other staff will experience even more stress and burnout than we currently do.

This situation is not unique to the Burnaby district (though Burnaby has the lowest funding per student this year in B.C.).

All this is due in no small part to the provincial government’s choice to underfund public education. How is it OK not even to provide school boards with enough money to maintain programs and services as they currently exist?

I’ve experienced first-hand the harmful effects of fewer supports for students, especially the most vulnerable.

Public education must remain vital, vibrant, respected and well-funded.

Time for fresh look aT brenTwood PlanRe: Man holds city to historic traffic plan (NewsLeader, April 18)

Kudos to Terry MacDonald for reminding Burnaby’s mayor and council of its obligations to the long-time residents of the Brentwood area.

It’s ironic that it takes a 73-year-old man with a great memory to not only make his point, but back up his statement with actual physical proof, as demanded by city staff.

So tell me, what are we paying the public servants and city government for, that someone has to take it upon themselves to do the research? Why was this not done ahead

of all the meetings that took place between the property owners, namely Shape, and city planners?

Either it’s a case of lack of due diligence on all parties or collective and selective research by everyone involved. Perhaps it’s time to take a step back and have a fresh set of eyes examine the Brentwood development plan to see if there aren’t more of these “gotchas” in existence before shovels hit the ground and it’s too late for alterations.

If auxiliary streets need to be added, as it clearly lays out in the original area plan, to accommodate an increase in area density and residential apartments then so be it. This should be paid by the developer, and not the taxpayers who are already taxed to the max.

devil in The deTailsRe: Lougheed Pulse: a vision for Lougheed of the future (NewsLeader, April 11)

If Shape Properties redevelops Lougheed mall to the same density proposed for Brentwood mall, then three office towers and 16 residential towers may puncture the sky.

The town centre will accommodate 4,500 households with over 11,000 people. Does the “vision” include enlarging Cameron Elementary School and Cameron Public Library?

Is the Burnaby Fire Hall on Brighton Avenue appropriately equipped and manned to respond to emergencies in 30- to 50-storey towers?

Finally, the proposed plan shows eight “themed” corridors in the redevelopment. These corridors will add five new accesses to the current six accesses that serve Lougheed mall. How can the level of service on Lougheed, North, Austin and Cameron be maintained though these new intersections?

As usual, the devil is in the details. The public open house at Cameron Recreation Centre on Feb. 18 raised many more questions than it answered.

He also has a masters of business administration from Saint Mary’s University and a PhD in organization and management from Capella University in Minneapolis.

His competition for the Conservative nomination so far is Mike Little, a three-term councillor for the District of North Vancouver.

Little has worked in the lumber transportation industry for the last 16 years and serves as chair of the North Shore Emergency Management Office. He has a bachelor degree in political science.

The creation of the new Burnaby North-Seymour riding is “an

opportunity to take back a large area of Burnaby from the New Democratic Party,” Little says on his website.

Geographically, North Vancouver, a Conservative stronghold, is home to the largest portion of the new riding.

As reported in the NewsLeader, Burnaby’s Terry Beech, is seeking the Liberal nomination in the riding.

In 1999 at the age of 18, Beech became Canada’s youngest-ever elected public official when he was voted in as a Nanaimo city councillor.

The next federal election is expected to be held in October 2015.

Two Burnaby students’ thoughts on learning and education have earned them each $500.

Marina Gonzalez, a Grade 11 student at Burnaby South, and Sarah Hardjowasito, who’s in Grade 11 at Burnaby Mountain, are the winners of the Burnaby Teachers’ Association’s annual essay contest.

In her essay, entitled The Shift of Accreditation, Gonzalez said there should be less emphasis on grades and more “on what the student knows.”

Hardjowasito argued a case for deeper, individualized “learning for the sake of learning” in her essay, A Student’s Musings on Education.

Patricia Parkes, the

BTA’s first vice president, said both submissions were impressive.

Four other students, all from Moscrop, received honourable mentions. Maisaloon Al-Ashkar, Olivia Eremia, Rui Jia Wang and Martin Zhang will all get gift certificates.

Burnaby Central secondary Grade 10 student Amelia E. produced an image of a woman’s facial profile, which has been captured in one of the street banners. The new set of banners will be hung over the next two years.

Three Burnaby students will soon see their artworks gracing street poles in the city after they were chosen as the new designs for the street banner program.

The works were originally created for the Burnaby Art Gallery’s annual Arts Alive student exhibition.

The banner by Alana S., a Grade 7 Cameron elementary student, depicts a tree silhouetted against a sunset, a reminder of the view outside her window in Israel.

Burnaby Central secondary Grade 10 student Amelia E. produced an image of a woman’s facial profile highlighted with textures, patterns and shapes. And Grade 10 Burnaby Mountain secondary student Yejin H.’s banner is of a uniquely-patterned sunflower.

The banners will be hung over the next two years from more than 300 street poles along city hall, the Central Valley, Deer

Lake and entrances into the city of Burnaby.

Caregivers fairCaregivers of family members

can learn about supportive resources available at a free fair on Saturday, April 26 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

The sixth annual Burnaby Family Caregivers Information and Speakers Fair will be at the Holiday Inn Express Metrotown (free parking underground).

It will feature more than 25 exhibitors including the new Burnaby Better at Home program, Fraser Health Home Health Services, HandyDART, the Music Therapy Association of BC and seniors housing providers. Speakers will also give presentations on caring for a loved one with dementia, stress management for family caregivers, and legal issues.

At least 20 per cent of Burnaby residents aged 50 to 90

are caring for an elderly family member or friend, according to gerontologist Katherine Willett.

Willett is coordinator of the Burnaby Family Caregivers Project for Burnaby Seniors Outreach Services Society, which is set to lose its funding at the end of June due to the United Way’s fundraising challenges.

Those interested in the program’s information series are encouraged to attend what could be the final four sessions, on Saturdays from May 24 to June 14, 10 a.m. to noon.

They will teach caregivers about community resources to help alleviate stress and improve the quality of life of those they’re caring for, and how to navigate the health care, home care and seniors housing systems. Register at 604-734-3054.

Anyone with suggestions on how to continue funding the program can call 604-291-2258.

As of April 23, access to the BC Children’s Hospital Emergency Department (ED) will be from Oak Street, door 11 on the west side of the building. As a result, traffic patterns and parking have changed.

Parking

New short term Emergency Department parking is available in front of the new entrance area. Non-emergency parking is available close by in the underground parkade. A parking assistant is available at Entrance 11 to help patients and families access longer term parking from 10am to 4pm Monday to Friday.

We recommend that patients and visitors allow extra time to find parking before appointments.

This change is necessary to accommodate the start of construction on the new Teck Acute Care Centre. We appreciate your patience during construction.
