“Disgrace,” “sham,” and “appalling”were some of the words used by Burnabycouncillors to describe the Royal Bank ofCanada’s use of temporary foreign work-ers to replace 45 jobs for Canadian work-ers.

The bank and its president and CEOGordon Nixon came under fire after itwas revealed by CBC that foreign workerswere replacing Canadian jobs. The bankrecently issued an apology and initially

said the workers were hired to manage atransition and only one temporary foreignworker was employed, according to a CBCreport.

Coun. Dan Johnston put forward themotion to write a letter expressing council’sdispleasure at exploiting foreign workersand taking away jobs from local citizens.Council passed the motion unanimously.

The controversial immigration programcreated by the federal government wasalso heavily criticized at Monday night’smeeting.

Coun. Sav Dhaliwal said foreign work-

ers can be paid 15 per cent less and said hewas appalled banks are resorting to that.

“Anything like this should be con-demned,” he said.

Dhaliwal suggested council also writeto the government about the program,which he called a “sham.”

He said temporary foreign workersundercut jobs from not just Canadians,but also immigrants who want to stay herein the long term.

It’s not a good way to grow a commu-nity, Dhaliwal added.

Mayor Derek Corrigan said this relates

to the many phone calls he receives dailyfrom those who cannot find employment.

He said refugees and immigrants whocome to Canada, and First Nations mem-bers spend years on social assistance whilejobs they could get are given away to tem-porary foreign workers.

Coun. Nick Volkow called the wholething a “disgrace.”

He said this problem has affected theunion community and unions brought theissue to the forefront.

Volkow said the public should consider

City council jumps on RBC worker brouhaha

On the campaign trail: Olivia Chow, left, NDP MP for Toronto’s Trinity-Spadina riding; andJanet Routledge, B.C. NDP candidate for Burnaby North, centre, speak with a North Burnabyresident during door-to-door campaigning on Monday evening.

Though the B.C. election didn’t start offi-cially until yesterday, federal and provincialstars have already begun descending fromtheir political firmament to shine a little lighton local campaigns.

Both Premier Christy Clark and NDPleader Adrian Dix have made multiple visitsto Burnaby and this week, Olivia Chow, NDPMP for Trinity-Spadina in Ontario, came tohelp Burnaby North NDP candidate JanetRoutledge with some door knocking.

Chow chatted with volunteers and signeda biography about her husband, the late fed-eral NDP leader Jack Layton, for a supporterbefore addressing the crowd.

“Burnaby North, isn’t it time for a changefor the better?” Chow said to nearly 30 volun-teers and supporters gathered at Routledge’scampaign office on Monday evening. “Achange for a better MLA, an MLA whoactually understands the people in BurnabyNorth?”

City to get$2.9 millionfrom fines

BUDGET

The Fraser Health Authority is call-ing it misleading – an online reportcard from CBC ranks Burnaby Hospitalamong the worst five hospitals in thecountry for overall patient care.

Along with Ridge Meadows Hospital,Surrey Memorial Hospital, UBC Hospitaland Vancouver General Hospital,Burnaby Hospital received a D grade– the lowest possible – in a study donefor the Rate My Hospital Project, con-ducted by the CBC for its investigativeshow, the fifth estate.

The study is based on data collectedby the Canadian Institute for HealthInformation (CIHI) from about 240acute-care hospitals across the country,as well as from public response on theCBC website.

The online survey allows people torate Canadian hospitals on a scale of one

to five in five categories: respect, com-munication, timeliness, cleanliness andwould recommend to others.

Fraser Health has concerns with themethodology of the survey and the waythe data was used to report the quality ofhealth-care at the hospitals, Fraser Healthspokesperson Roy Thorpe-Dorward saidin an emailed statement.

“We appreciate the work that CBC hasput into their hospital report card projectbut believe that the CBC results showthat it is difficult to compare resultsbetween jurisdictions when the methodshospitals use to keep track of data aboutquality of care vary widely,” he said.“While we acknowledge the opportuni-ties for improvement identified in theCBC report card, it would be misleadingto judge the overall performance of ahospital based on this report alone.”

The grade is based on five categoriesmeasuring how well patients do aftersurgery or medical treatment, including;mortality after major surgery, re-admis-sion after surgery, re-admission aftermedical treatment, “nursing-sensitiveadverse events” for surgical patients,

and “nursing-sensitive adverse events”for medical patients.

In the first category – the amountof deaths reported after major surgery– the hospital got an A+ for having “sub-stantially fewer deaths” than an averagehospital of the same size. But BurnabyHospital got a failing grade in all theother categories.

Thorpe-Dorward noted the CBCranked hospitals using only five of the21 health indicators available from theCIHI, two of which are related to “nurs-ing-sensitive adverse events,” which hesaid are not consistently reported.

“If you look beyond the five indictorsthat CBC has chosen to use for its report,the CIHI data shows that Fraser Healthhospitals have some of the best indica-tors in the province and nationally,”he said, noting almost 90 per cent ofpatients in Fraser Health hospitals saidtheir quality of care was “excellent, verygood or good” in a survey conductedlast year.

Burnaby council was relieved to hearit will receive $2.9 million in 2013 fromits share of traffic fine revenue from theprovince instead of $448,541 – a prospectthat concerned councillors when it wassuggested at a previous meeting.

At the March 18 meeting, Coun. ColleenJordan said she was nervous about apotential dip in the share of the province’straffic fine revenue, which goes towardsthe police budget and is usually closerto $3 million, after receiving a letter fromMLA Bill Bennett that stated the citywould receive the much lower amount.

Council received a finance report atthe April 8 meeting, where staff outlinedthe provincial grant from the Ministryof Community, Sport and CulturalDevelopment is to help municipalitiescover safety costs. The funding is a returnof net revenues from traffic violations andis meant to fund police budgets.

In 2012, the city received $3,838,656 incash payments from the traffic fine rev-enue grant.

This year, the city is expecting to receive$2,964,735 from the annual operating grantfunding, according to the report.

Next year, the report states it willreceive about $1,762,627 by June 2014.

Each year, the city has had to publiclyreport on how the shared grant was used.

Jordan said the confusion stemmedfrom the province’s restructuring of theprogram, and she’s glad the city isn’tbeing “short changed.”

Thecurrentfundingagreementbetweenthe province and Burnaby expires in June2014. Jordan said it will most likely berenewed after that.

All of the funding goes to the policeoperating budget, according to the report.

“These funds help to reduce the impacton property taxes, which are the mainsource of funding for Burnaby policeoperations,” the report stated.

The report also provided council withinformation on the recent activities of theBurnaby detachment.

Total city break-and-enters were attheir lowest in 2012, and for the first timein 25 years Burnaby experienced a fullyear without a single motor vehicle fatal-ity, the report stated.

Impaired driving investigationsincreased from 202 in 2010 to 511 in 2011.

Last year, the Burnaby detachment cre-ated a two-person unsolved homicide unitthat solved a historical homicide in its firstfew months and resulted in charges.

Report card gives hospital a ‘D’


Health authority calls CBConline report ‘misleading’

Chow went on tospeak of Routledge’sdedication to public ser-vice, and her focus onyoung people, jobs andeducation.

She mentioned Dix asa potential “premier whoactually gets it,” and saidhis focus on improvinghealth-care would helpthose who need home care.

She finished her addressto the crowd with a speechin Chinese and then offeredcanvassing tips to the vol-unteers, with specific tech-niques for campaigning athighrise buildings.

Janet Routledge thankedChow for coming by.

“For us in BurnabyNorth, this is the homestretch,” Routledge added.“We have actually beencampaigning to win backthis riding for the NDP fortwo years.”

According to her team’snumbers, Routledge hasknocked on the doors of10,000 voters, she added,and some of the volunteerspresent became involvedwhen she met them ontheir doorstep.

“Our commitment isthat after May 14, we aregoing to continue to con-nect with the community,”Routledge said. “We aregoing to continue to dopolitics in Burnaby Northin a way that everyonefeels that they’re part ofit, and everyone feels thatthey have a say.”

Routledge and Chowthen left the office at 4688Hastings St. to do somedoor knocking together.

Routledge handlesemployment insuranceappeals and is a past direc-tor of political action at theB.C. Federation of Labour,according to a previousinterview with the NOW.She also led the anti-HSTcampaign in Burnaby andhas lived in the riding for17 years.

She is running againstLiberal Burnaby NorthMLA Richard Lee, whohas been the MLA for theriding since 2001; B.C.Conservatives candidateWayne Marklund; andB.C. Green Party candidateCarrie McLaren.

Chow was in town tospeak with municipal pol-iticians about the federalinfrastructure program,she said, and also met withseniors and communitygroups about transporta-tion concerns.

As the federal transpor-tation and infrastructurecritic, Chow was particu-larly concerned about arecently released infra-

structure funding report,she said.

According to Chow, areport released by Canada’sinterim ParliamentaryBudget Officer SoniaL’Heureux on Thursday

indicates money plannedfor infrastructure fundingis actually “old money”and there will be a $2-bil-lion cut to infrastructurefunding over the next year.

“It’s a complete shell

game,” Chow told theNOW.

The report was thefirst to be released byL’Heureux, who replacedCanada’s first parliamen-tary budget officer, Kevin

Page, last month.According to the report,

the amount needed to main-tain infrastructure fund-ing for 10 years – between2014/2015 and 2023/2024– is $45 billion, and the

funding planned in the2013 Economic Action Planexceeds that by $3 billion.

But she also mentionsthere has been a spendingdelay, primarily from theBuilding Canada Fund.

Toys gone: Lesley Cannon, a supervisor at VarietyHotelier House Children’s Centre in Burnaby’s Royal Oakarea, says toys were taken from the Burnaby child-carefacility.

Crooks stealtoys from kids

Two Burnaby child-carecentres for children withdevelopmental disabili-ties have apparently beenrobbed of their playgroundtoys.

Approximately $600worth of playground itemswent missing from FairHaven Children’s Centrein the Edmonds area andVariety Hotelier HouseChildren’s Centre in theRoyal Oak neighbourhoodin recent weeks.

“We were sad. We don’thave the money to replaceall those items,” said LesleyCannon, supervisor at theVariety centre. “We had25 children that were verysad when they didn’t havetoys to play with in theirsandbox. What do you tellchildren when their toys arestolen?”

The Variety centre washit the hardest, with rough-ly $500 worth of toys sto-len. The items went missingover the Easter break. Thetoys, bought with donatedmoney, were large, out-door metal Tonka trucks.Cannon considered calling

police but figured it wouldbe futile. Only one item wasstolen from the Fair Havencentre a week earlier: aLittle Tikes toy car.

The non-profit BurnabyAssociation for CommunityInclusion runs both child-care centres, which areopen to children with andwithout developmentaldisabilities. SpokespersonCarol Broomhall said thenon-profit group will haveto fundraise for more equip-ment.

“We receive virtuallyno government funding,”Broomhall said.

If anyone is interestedin donating to replace theequipment, call BACI at604-299-7851 and ask forBroomhall.

The election campaign isofficially underway, whichmeans British Columbians

will have to endure 28 days ofoverblown rhetoric, personalinvective, half-truths and a fairamount of hypocrisy.

And it will comefrom the entire rangeof the political spec-trum. No matterwho wins the vote on May 14,no party will emerge with cleanhands when it comes to beingcompletely forthright with theelectorate.

The two major parties – theNDP and the B.C. Liberals– would have you believe, forexample, that they have com-pletely opposite approaches tothe province’s finances. Nothingcould be further from the truth.

Both parties want to raise cor-porate income taxes. Both partieswant to raise income taxes onthe rich. There was a time whensuch policies were the darlingof the left, but now the B.C.Liberals have adopted the samephilosophy as the NDP.

Of course, the NDP wants a12 per cent corporate tax ratewhile the B.C. Liberals prefer an11 per cent rate. I suppose theformer is unbridled socialism,while the latter is unfetteredcapitalism.

The B.C. Liberals are in themidst of running four and pos-sibly five deficit budgets (I’mnot one of the measly 12 percent of British Columbians who,

according to pollster Ipsos-Reid,actually believe the current onewill be balanced) and the NDPintends to table three consecu-tive deficit budgets.

The B.C. Liberals will havedoubled the provincial debt dur-

ing their time in office,which is exactly whatthe NDP did duringtheir administration in

the 1990s.The B.C. Liberals have pro-

vided massive spending hikes tothe health-care system. The NDPintends to do the same.

Do I sense a pattern here?About the only real difference

between the two party’s fiscalplans is the NDP’s plan to re-introduce a tax (which existedduring the early term of the B.C.Liberal government) on banksand financial institutions.

The NDP would also expandactivities captured by the carbontax (a tax created, of course, bythe B.C. Liberals).

Does this really representa yawning ideological schismbetween the two parties, or doesit merely indicate the rathergrim fiscal reality facing eitherparty should it win the election?

Yet, on the campaign trail,I’m sure we’ll hear the NDPtalk about how the B.C. Liberalshave somehow “cut” health-care spending, no matter howmisleading (and wrong) such astatement really is.

Don’t underestimate the power of your ballotAs of today, the “writ has dropped”

and the province of British Columbia isin election mode.

This is democracy, folks, and you’repart of it.

This is when you get tomake the decisions that reallycount because the decisionsyou make in the comingmonth will determine who makes thedecisions that steer your communityand your province, economically andsocially, for the next four years.

This is an important election. Theyall are. Whatever the pollsters may tryto tell you, the results are not a fore-gone conclusion.

It may sound trite when the politi-cians say it (and it is usuallysaid by those who don’t likewhat the polls say at any givenmoment), but the only poll

that counts is the one that takes placeon election day – the one that’s countedafter the ballot boxes are opened bybona fide Elections B.C. personnel.

Some people consider this wholedemocracy thing an unwelcome chore,others will ignore it altogether – anannoyance that will go away in a fewweeks.

Then they’ll complain about “poorleadership” and how they don’t reallyhave any control.

But we’re going to do our best togive you as much information as we canabout the candidates and the issues thataffect you directly.

We’ll use Twitter and Facebook,

Layar and our website at www.burnabynow.com, and of course, these print-ed pages to convey your candidates’responses to election issues as theyarise.

Just ask the millions of people onthis planet who would die – literally– for the democracy so many of us takefor granted.

They would tell you to pay atten-tion, study your options and make aninformed decision on May 14.

The decision really is yours.

B.C. parties not sodifferent after all

Mayor should quit complainingDear Editor:

Isn’t it time that Mayor Derek Corrigan quitacting like a bully in his criticism of anyone whodoesn’t agree with his opinion?

One can’t pick up the Burnaby NOW withoutseeing him using nasty, ridiculing language againstother politicians.

In fact, it has become more than obvious that hehas become too arrogant in his position, now that hehas held it so long, whilst at the same time his wife,Burnaby-Deer Lake MLA Kathy Corrigan, is alsoliving off the taxpayers.

Time for both, or at least one, to quit.W. Phelps, Burnaby

Burnaby students donate $5,500Dear Editor:

On April 10, I attended a fundraiser event atMichael J. Fox Theatre that was organized andhosted by the Burnaby District Student AdvisoryCouncil.

This is an annual event where secondary stu-dents from the school district present a show ofstudent talent, and all the funds raised are donatedto a charitable organization.

The determination of the each year’s charitablecause is a lengthy discussion and vote by the councilstudents, and over the years they have supportedorganizations both international and local.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

And the B.C. Liberalswill denounce the NewDemocrats as tax-and-spenders who will runup deficits, when they’vedone exactly the same onChristy Clark’s watch.

Each party will wrapitself in a cloak of self-righteous indignation, por-traying itself as the onlycompetent alternative, theonly one to be trusted withthe levers of power.

But brush all theseflotsam and jetsam asideand we’ll be left with twocentral campaign messagescoming from each of themajor parties.

For the B.C. Liberals,that message will be “it’sall about trust,” as in: whocan you trust best withgrowing the economy andhandling provincial finan-ces? This will involve a

double-barrelled approachthat combines the partyboasting of its economicskills while portraying theNDP’s time in governmentas a complete disaster forthe province.

The NDP, meanwhile,will exploit the apparentwidespread desire (accord-ing to opinion polls) for achange in government inthis province. Any partythat spends more than adozen years in govern-ment piles up a lot of bag-gage over the years, andthe NDP will remind vot-ers of that baggage overand over again.

There will be plentyof photo ops on the lead-ers’ campaigns that arefocussed on such issues ashealth care, education, for-estry and the environment.While all those issues areimportant, they are not

what this election is about.“Trust” and “change” arethe key emotional issuesdriving the vote.

Of course, the twominor (for now) polit-ical parties – the B.C.Conservatives and theGreens – will try to maketheir voices heard overthe next month. I suspectthey will have more suc-cess than in previous cam-paigns because the elector-ate appears more volatilethis time around.

So hang on tight forthe next 28 days. The endresult will be either achange in government, amiracle comeback for alltime, or a historic break-through by one of theminor parties.

But a lot of hot air willbe expelled before weknow which scenario weend up with.


Parties: Plenty of hot air

This year, this amazing group of stu-dents worked extremely hard to presenta fantastic venue for student talent andthe money raised went to the Burnabytask force. The council hit a new recordof donations – presenting Homeless TaskForce representative Wanda Mulhollandwith a cheque for more than $5,500!

My congratulations go to all the stu-dents in Burnaby secondary schools whogenerously gave their time and energyto support the less fortunate in our com-munity.

Led by co-presidents Ally Graham andKieren Gadhia, this event was a phenom-enal success. Recognition should also begiven to the support and guidance pro-vided by administrators Ms. Kristmanson,Mr. Allen and Mr. Hall.

As a society, we are always quick tocriticize all youth, but knowing we haveyoung people such as this council groupwho see a community need and worktoward a resolution, I am confident thatour future is in good hands.

Congratulations to the students on a jobwell done!

Halt incinerator programDear Editor:

Re: No real alternative to incineration:Mayor, Burnaby NOW, April 10.

I disagree with Mayor Derek Corrigan’sassertion that there is no real alterna-

tive to incineration. There are, of course,alternatives. We can continue to send ourgarbage to the landfill at Cache Creek orelsewhere.

None of the options for disposal of solidwaste are attractive. The key is to select theleast bad one.

Metro Vancouver made a policy deci-sion some years ago to embrace incinera-tion, which they call waste-to-energy andthey have basically ignored the alterna-tives ever since. They went through abogus public consultation process, whichwas effectively a public relations exerciseto promote incineration.

The problem is now no one knowswhich approach is best since no effort wasever made to properly assess the costs andbenefits of each. Incineration may be bestor maybe not. No one knows.

What I do know is it is a lot easier toquantify the costs associated with landfilling since we have been doing it for along time.

What are the human health and envi-ronmental costs of incineration? Whatabout the toxic ash that is left after inciner-ation? The pollutants don’t just disappearwhen the garbage is burned, they end upin the air we breath.

For me, the unknown human healthand environmental risks of incinerationare unacceptable.

Until we have a better understandingof what these risks are, Metro Vancouvershould not be proceeding with their incin-eration program.

Bank: Temporary foreign workers not at fault

TransLink is moving its head-quarters from Burnaby to NewWestminster’s Brewery District thissummer, which will combine threehead offices and save $2.6 million ayear.

TransLink, the Transit Policeand Coast Mountain Bus Companywill combine head offices at thenew Sapperton location in NewWestminster on June 1, accordingto TransLink spokesperson DerekZabel.

The new building’s lease will be$1.7 million a year, including operat-ing costs, which will save a total of$2.6 million a year when TransLinkofficially occupies the new site,

according to Zabel.TransLink’s head office is current-

ly stretched over five floors at one ofMetrotown’s office tow-ers near the SkyTrain sta-tion.

The lease for the siteended and TransLinkhad to move because of acompetitive solicitation.

“Our business needschanged,” he added.“We needed a facility tomeet our needs in thelong-term … The movemade sense.”

Zabel said TransLinkwent through the prop-er RFP process and thelocation in Sappertonwas deemed the bestsolution.

The downside might be foremployees who have to travel fur-ther, Zabel noted, but the new loca-tion has rapid transit close by.

“There will be a lot more col-laboration between departments,”he said. “There’ll be an increase in

productivity. People willget to know one another,as well.”

In a previous interviewwith the NOW, MayorDerek Corrigan said heunderstood TransLink’smove was a financiallydriven decision.

“I understand there’s asavings for them,” he said,adding he hopes the costsof moving and setting upelsewhere were factoredinto the decision.

“If that’s true, there is abusiness case for them tomake the move,” Corriganadded. “Hopefully it

benefits all taxpayers in the LowerMainland.”

But he said the city is sorry to seethe company go.

where they put their money, and thatevery major bank uses the federalprogram, but RBC was “the first oneto get caught.”

He blasted the federal govern-ment’s controversial program and

said the “government programis designed to do exactly what it’sdoing.”

Although council was not sayingthe temporary foreign workers wereat fault, Coun. Paul McDonell said theworkers are the ones being exploited

by the system.McDonell noted the issue should

be brought to the provincial leveland up to the federal level because“enough is enough.”

Local resident David LaCroix haswhat most kids dream of – a collec-tion of sunken treasure. His pieces

come from ships at the bottom of the seathat were once heavily loaded with sil-ver, gold, tobacco, indigo, emeralds and

pearls from bygonecolonial eras. Hisdecades-old collect-ing hobby has eventaken him on scubadiving trips aroundthe world, searchingold shipwrecks forpieces of gold andsilver. Now a retired

machinery salesman, LaCroix spendshis time volunteering with the BurnabySeniors Outreach Services Society. Hetakes his collection to seniors’ homes tostimulate discussions on history.

Q: Can you introduce yourself?A: My name’s David LaCroix. I’m a

senior in Burnaby.

Tell me about your collection of sunkentreasure.

I started collecting in about 1967, thesame time I started scuba diving. Sincethen, it has grown and grown. As moreships have been found, and more historyhas been learned, I’ve tried to add to thecollection from that perspective so I cantake it out and talk to people about it,which is what I do now.

Can you tell me about some of your moreinteresting pieces?

Yes, we have various gold coins, somefrom Canadian waters, but I must sayall of the coins are acquired by ethicalmeans and have the appropriate permitsof ownership, because heritage laws havechanged recently in various countries. Oneof the more interesting pieces would be themanilla. The manilla is not made of gold orsilver. It’s made of bronze, and what it rep-resents is one human life, sadly enough. Itwas used as a trade item. You would havea captain of a ship go into a bay in Africa.They would go ashore, and they wouldbarter with the chiefs to deliver healthyslaves that could be used back at the ship.They’d load the ship, and when the shipwas full, then they would leave, but foreach human they brought, they would begiven one of these bronze manillas. Thecaptain would then row ashore when theship was full and set up a little store withcheap beads, trinkets, knives – those sortsof things – as mediums of exchange.

Where did you find this one?This one came from a ship called

Douro. It was sunk in 1843.

How did you get it? Did you dive for it?No, I think I must have traded someone

for this.

How does one find sunken treasure?It depends on how you are collecting,

if you are collecting by country, if youare collecting by time period, because allcountries had a colonial history. First youresearch who has the title to the ship, thenyou contact that person and buy the coinsfrom them if they are allowed to sell themand that has to be done by the country

of origin. They have to give the gentle-men, the archeologist, the permission tosell them. And they usually do. Up untilthe last 20 years, it’s tightened right up.Anything you find has to go to the govern-ment, pretty much.

What’s the oldest piece you have?It’s a piece of eight, recovered from

a ship that went down in a hurricane in1622. The name of the ship was Atocha,quite a famous ship, and it was off thecoast of Florida. It was heading back toSpain. It was part of a fleet, and a coupleof ships went down in that hurricane.Unfortunately, the Spanish, when theytravelled back to their country of origin,they did their travelling at the height ofhurricane season. It had to be that way totake advantage of the Gulf Stream and theprevailing winds.

When you say “piece of eight,” what doesthat mean?

It’s a denomination of a coin, it’s calledan eight reale, and it became known as thepirate piece of eight. It was a very commoncoin, Spanish in origin, but it was like acoin of the realm. All countries used it. It

was well-respected. It was like the green-back, the American dollar.

You’ve also done some diving yourself,right? Can you tell me a bit about that? Whatbooty have you found while diving?

Well in England, one of the wreckswhich we looked at down below, the HMSAssociation, that was one that I dove on.The fellow I went with, he was a fellowwho originally found the ship, a lot of itwas already salvaged. The cannons werebrought up, it had been quite well pickedover. However, I did get an opportunityto get what I needed for my display fromhim.

So you were diving when you found thatpiece?

The ones that were there, that I hadanything to do with, they were no good,they were all corroded. So the fellow whohad originally found the treasure wasselling them, he had authorization to sellthem. We’re going back a long ways now,we’re going back to the ‘70s. Things werepretty easy to do at that time.

Tell me a bit about what you do with yourcollection.

I have an assistant that helps me. Ibundle it all up, I take it to give talks, andwe set it up museum style. We give talksand interact a lot with seniors, not entirely,but it’s turned out to be that sort of thing,because it seems like they want more stim-ulating talks about various things. So, theykeep me on my toes.

You’ve visited various seniors’ homes inBurnaby to show your collection?

Yes.

How do you keep your collection secure?What you see on the walls (framed

coins) comes down, and it goes off to stor-age in a remote site. Everything goes incases.

How much is your total collection valuedat?

Probably at $250,000.

And you have coins and jewelry as well.Can you give me some example of what you’vegot?

There are weapons, flintlocks, … ablunderbuss. What you do with this (blun-derbuss) is you load buckshot if you hadany, broken knives and forks, glass, any-thing you could get in there. And whenyou boarded a ship by rope, you’d justlower that and let it go, and it would cleara path about 40 feet across. Total devasta-tion. They were used from about 1670 to1780, I would say.

How can readers learn more about your col-lection or invite you for a talk?

They can email me. ([email protected])

RecycledMILK CARTONS are broken down intoPULP. Every tonne of pulp saves 17 TREES

In2012,RETURN-IT TM DEPOTS throughoutBC collected over 666,000 kg of milk containers,an INCREASE of 32,000 KG over 2011.

PULP from MILK cartonsis made into tissue paperAND CARDBOARD

How to preventmilk containers frombeing trashedIn 2012, milk container recycling in BC increased 5% over2011.While that’s an encouraging number, there is still morework to be done. Recent research shows that BC residents

say they dispose of 15% of milkcontainers in the garbage.You can help make a positiveimpact by bringing back yourown empty containers, and byspreading the word to friendsand family who don’t.

How to make it partof your routineYoucanhelpmake theworldacleaner, better place bymakingonesimple choice: insteadof throwingaway your empty containers,bring them to the Return-ItTM

Depot along with your bottles andcans for recycling. Since you didn’tpay a deposit when you purchased

them, youwon’t get a refundwhen youbring themback—butyouwill enjoy the satisfaction ofmaking a lasting difference.

For many British Columbians,recycling empty milk containershas become part of their regularroutine. It’s an effortless choicethat’s good for the planet; and whilepeople are generally aware thatrecycling reduces waste, it’s stilleasy to underestimate the positiveimpact it has on the environment.For example, did you know thatusing recycled plastic uses lessenergy than producing plastic fromnew materials? Once they are turnedinto plastic pellets at the recyclingfacility, empty milk jugs are usedto make not only new bottles, butalso plastic buckets and pails,flower pots, and plastic lumber.Milk cartons, meanwhile, aremade from a high-quality paper

fibre which is broken down intopulp during the recycling processand then made into products liketissue paper and cardboard boxes.Every tonne of paper pulp recycledfrom cartons saves approximately17 trees, and in the past five yearsthat the Milk Carton RecyclingProgram has been in place, theamount of paper pulp recycled was1,450 metric tonnes. That is roughlyequivalent to 24,000 trees!With these kinds of tremendousenvironmental benefits, it’s nowonder that Encorp Pacific and theBC Dairy Council are thrilled thatmore and more people are choosingto bring their milk containers backto the Return-ItTM Depot.

The number ofrecyclers is growingAccording to the most recent datafrom 2012, the program is havinga great deal of success as more andmore people become aware ofthe options for recycling milkcontainers. 89% of BritishC o l u m b i a n sare now awarethat at least onetype of milkcontainer can berecycled. To helpa c c ommoda t ethis increasedawareness and

the resulting positive change inrecycling habits, the number ofReturn-ItTM Depots accepting milkcartons has grown to 165.

The amount ofmilk containers isstaggeringThis increase in numbers adds upto more milk containers beingrecycled than ever before. In 2012,Return-ItTM Depots throughout BCcollected over 666,000 kg of milkcontainers, an increase of 32,000 kgover 2011. That works out to over14 million individual containers.In fact, if you were to place themall side-by-side, they would reachfrom Vancouver to Prince Georgeand back – a distance of over 1,500km. An impressive number to besure, and while the steady rise inthese numbers is an encouragingsign, too many milk cartons inBC are still finding their way tothe trash. Thus, the task of raisingawareness continues.

Recyclingmilkcontainers ismore importantthan you think

Moscrop hosts third Human Library Project

It’s a different kindof library with a veryhuman element. Burnaby’sMoscrop Secondary hostedthe third annualHuman LibraryProject on April 4.

The libraryinvolves peoplewho volunteer tobe human “books,”with various labelsor titles attached,and studentsare encourage to“check out” the books andhave conversations thatdispel stereotypes andprejudices.

“Hopefully, it opensa space for discussion onstereotyping,” said LeanneSjodin, Moscrop teacherand organizer for the library

project. “This is where youcome to ask those awkwardand uncomfortable andrude questions. … Ideally,people are checking out thebooks they know they havesome stereotypes about,some hunches about.”

This year, there were21 people books, andtitles ranged from psychic,

recovering drugaddict, businessmanager, little oldlady and NativeIndian FootballAssociation soccerplayer. Moscropstudents brain-stormed their ideason prejudices andstereotypes associ-

ated with the labels beforethey talked to the books.Sjodin estimated that 300students participated in theproject throughout the day

To volunteer for nextyear’s human library, con-tact Sjodin by calling theschool at 604-664-8575.

WAGESFOR AGE 25-34ARE DOWN

Wemay not agree on whether theCanucks will win the Stanley Cup thisyear, but we can all agree that housingprices have gone way up.

But while high housing prices werethe primary source of wealth for babyboomers, it is the primary source of debtfor Generation X, Y and the Millennials,who are currently in the 25-45 age range.

We know much about this group.Educated, tech-savvy and skeptical, someare new parents who are planning to buya home. Others have recently graduatedpost-secondary and are now entering thework force. And some are saving up forretirement.

Despite Canada’s economy doublingsince 1976, the average wealth forCanadians aged 25-34 fell 41 per cent,while at the same time, the average wealthfor those aged 55-64 rose 176 per cent.

While residents in Burnaby and theLower Mainland are becoming parentsor are considering taking on a mortgage,the financial squeeze is now significantlygreater than a generation ago. And thesqueeze is impacting families and theirquality of life.

Collectively, the generations under 45are being squeezed for time and money inorder to adapt to higher costs of living.

To become more employable, theyspend more years in education, thustaking on more debt. To buy a home,they work longer hours and spend moretime saving up for down payments. Andthey are finding less time for themselvesand their families as they struggle to findwork-life balance.

UBC professor and family policyexpert Paul Kershaw, calls them Genera-tion Squeeze. He believes there is much atstake for our families, and that we can nolonger afford to ignore the effects of thesqueeze.

“More and more young adults simplycan’t afford to live in the Lower Mainland.It’s becoming a generational city in whichpeople only own homes if they got in thehousing market over a decade ago, orthey are among the very richest of today’syounger generation,” he said.

Kershaw maintains that families arebecoming unaffordable because youngpeople’s wages are down nearly 20 percent, even though they are twice aslikely to have post-secondary education,compared to the 1970s. Meanwhile, the

cost of housing is up 150 per cent.“This means young families need

to work far more in the labour marketto compensate for lower incomes andhigher costs of living, which means theyare squeezed for time at home. But inorder to work more in the labour market,young families need to find and affordchildcare services. Problem is, theseare in short supply and cost more thanuniversity tuition,” he said.

An avid public speaker, Kershawleads a growing campaign to raiseawareness of the disproportionategovernment spending between recentgenerations.

According to him, Canadian govern-ments spend $45,000 per retiree eachyear, mostly on medical care, public

pensions and subsidies for retirementincome, compared to just $12,000 perperson under age 45, which is spentmostly on school, medical care, employ-ment insurance and supports for families.

“The big spending on retirees hasmade a remarkable difference for ageneration of seniors. In 1976, nearly30 per cent of seniors were poor, butbecause of government investments inmedical care and old age security, retireesnow report the lowest levels of poverty ofany age group in the country, around 5per cent today. It’s time for young adultsto ask and expect their governments toadapt for Gen Squeeze, as we already dofor retirees,” said Kershaw.

Kershaw says that it is especially important to raisethe spending on the Gen Squeeze population now, toeffectively narrow the generational spending gap, whileleaving spending on retirees where it is.

The change will ensure that young families in theLower Mainland can afford to spend the first 18 monthsat home with their new babies, and can find and afford$10-a-day child care, as well as achieve greater work-lifebalance.

Residents feel squeezed for time, moneyTRUE STORIES

The following are real interviews with Burnaby residents who commented on Generation Squeeze and the voting process. All interviewees insisted onremaining anonymous, due to the sensitive nature of the subject matter.

Steven is a marketing professional who worksdowntown but has lived in Burnaby for 4 years. Hefeels the effects of the squeeze and commits to workingharder and focusing on career as a way to survive.

“We’re living in a premium place now. Everyone ispushing off having kids and our parents were havingkids much earlier,” said Steven.

“High cost of living is par for the course if youwant to live in Burnaby but it’s all on you. You have toimprove your situation. People that live here have to becareer focused.”

UBC Policy Professor Paul Kershaw gives kudos tothose in Generations X and Y who are doing all they canto cope with the challenges, but says focusing solely onwork may not be the solution.

“The Gen Squeeze campaign is showing that thesegenerations can’t work their way out of the squeezewithout giving up something fundamental,” saidKershaw.

“They must choose between starting the family theymay want, at the expense of having enough time in thelabour market to cope with declining wages and risingcosts of living, or devoting more time to the labourmarket, but at the expense of the family, once they startit,” he said.

Despite feeling disconnected from politics, Stevenstill believes it is important to participate in the Mayprovincial election.

Caitlin says that the squeeze generation is investingmore on post secondary education, in order to get by.

“Years ago, a college degree and a university degreeused to be a guarantee of success. Whereas now, it’s justa starting point. It’s definitely more difficult,” she said.

“It’s a very common mind set, that if you live inVancouver you have to pay a premium to live here. Ithink you kind of have to accept it,” said Darren.

Darren chooses to remain a non-voter, but says it isnot out of apathy, but out of lack of information.

“I’m not planning to vote in this election. I’m not100% informed,” he said.

“I’d rather not be someone who makes anuninformed decision. I can never be 100% confident soI’d rather not vote. I wouldn’t just vote just for the sakeof voting.”

Helen and her friends occasionally talk about theeffects of the squeeze.

“Many of my friends have masters degrees but theyare barely making more than minimum wage,” saidHelen.

“I do feel we are being squeezed. It’s not a veryaffordable city. It’s hard to find a decent neighborhoodto start a family,” she said.

Kershaw says that for Gen Squeeze, higher educationdoes not guarantee better quality of life.

“Gens X and Y are twice as likely to have postsecondary credentials compared to baby boomers,” hesaid.

“Despite all this extra education, they are bringinghome lower average wages, often in jobs that don’t paypensions. So they live squeezed for time and money”.

Kershaw insists that the squeeze is seeping intopeople’s love lives.

“The 20 somethings are now more likely to live withtheir parents than their partners. A generation ago itwas the reverse, and now many young Canadians arepostponing starting their families, or they having fewerkids,” he said.

“For many, it pushes the expectation of homeownership out of reach, or pushes many others into longcommutes from the burbs, thereby exacerbating theirtime squeeze,” said Kershaw.

Helen believes that in order to address the effects ofthe squeeze, a two-way relationship must be establishedbetween Gen Squeeze and government representatives.

“If you don’t have a representative for your owninterest group, then there’s no one there to representyour interests,” said Helen.

“That’s one of the major reasons why our generationis squeezed, because nobody is voicing for us,” she said.

Helen believes that in order to make changes, youhave to be a part of that system, first.

“Policy changes won’t happen overnight, it’s a longprocess. But I know that if we have enough people withconfidence in government, we will be able to makechanges. But if we don’t take that first step, it will neverhappen,” she said.

Narrowing the spending gap could save youngfamilies around $50,000 before their kids reach age six,which they could use to pay off debt or use toward adown payment on a house, he says.

Kershaw will be the keynote speaker at an event inBurnaby on April 22 called The All Candidate’s GenSqueeze Dialogue. The event will take place at theBurnaby Firefighter’s Club at 6515 Bonsor Avenueat 6:00 pm and will host a panel of Burnaby electoral

candidates, who are running in the May provincialelection.

All residents are invited to attend, particularly thosein the 25-45 age group, who feel the squeeze.

With live entertainment and food options, the eventis as much a fun and exciting rally for change as it is achance to create a long-overdue dialogue between GenSqueeze and government. Register by emailing [email protected] or call 604-659-2200.

engaged in politics

Kelly works hard and finds time to volunteer in hercommunity, but says it is difficult to save for retirement.

“A couple of weeks ago, I sat down to look atthe amount of money I need to pay off bills and putsomething away for savings,” she said.

“You really do need about 50 years if you can onlyafford to put a couple hundred dollars away, after youpay your rent, your car bills, food bills. And it’s notleaving much for social life at all.”

Kelly insists that government is fully capable ofimplementing policy changes that change our lives,but if Gen Squeeze remains apathetic to the politicalprocess, then nothing will happen.

“We have to push for change as a community, notjust one or two people. It has to be a movement,” shesaid.

“Dialogue has to happen, but politics can be seen asboring to many in our generation.”

However, the upcoming All Candidate’s GenSqueeze Dialogue on April 22nd at the BurnabyFirefighter’s Hall will feature a bit of politics and a bit ofentertainment.

Burnaby kid’s event makes fitness funUPCOMING EVENT

From as early as she can remember, Teresa Tibbithas been living an active and healthy lifestyle.

Passionate about exercise and nutrition, Tibbit, theowner of Coast Kinetics, a conditioning and rehabilita-tion center near Holdom Skytrain station, wanted todo something big to help kids in Burnaby learn abouthealth and fitness.

For many years, Tibbit had the idea to educate kidsabout fitness in a way that made it fun, while being apositive role model for kids to look up to.

The idea became a reality after Tibbit met JeanneFike, Executive Director of Burnaby Family Life.

In just a few short months after their initial meeting,the inaugural BFL Kid’s Challenge event was held in thesummer of 2012.

Hosting numerous teams that mixed adults withkids in a mentorship format, the event featured avariety of unique challenges to test strength, agility andendurance, while incorporating nutritional education, ina low-pressure and fun environment.

“The education component was important to me,”said Tibbit.

“It’s beneficial to start young because it just sets thetone for good experiences later in life. You’re educatedon all the things that make you healthy and that willcontinue to build as you get older,” she said.

Now in its second year, with a summer eventplanned for June 8, 2013, 1pm-3pm at Holdom SkytrainPlaza, her vision is well on its way.

Tibbit says that having role models were importantto her as a kid, and this contributed to the idea forhaving mixed teams consisting of 2 adults and 4 kids.

The BFL Kid’s Challenge also raises funds to supportprograms for abused children and disadvantaged youthin Burnaby.

“I’ve always wanted to give something back whereI could leverage what I know and do something withkids,” says Tibbit, who proclaims she is a big kid at heart.

“Just the opportunity for the kids to come into thefitness studio was great because I don’t know how manyof them get the opportunity to be in a place like that,”she said.

Tibbit says there are many barriers preventing kids

from becoming exposed to health and exercise, and sothe event also enables and encourages disadvantagedkids to participate.

“We don’t really talk about these kind of issuesand I hope that this can create an open dialogue,” shesaid.

“Ultimately, I want to see relationships being builtand connections made as a result of the event.”For more information about the 2013 BFL Kid’sChallenge, email [email protected] orcall 604-659-2200.

Building a Healthier Community

For a good part ofmy childhood, mymom would take me

to almost monthly visitsto my pediatrician forrheumatoid arthritis treat-ments. She also took mefor many blood tests andX-rays.

Curious about theresults of all those tests, Irequested my records afterstarting my own practice.Unfortunately, I learnedthe pediatrician’s officehad shredded my chart themonth before.

In B.C., doctors arelegally required to retainmedical records for aminimum of seven yearsafter the patient is lastseen or after the age of 26(seven years after the ageof majority), whichever islonger.

This will change onJune 1. The College ofPhysicians and Surgeonsof B.C. has changed itsrequirements to reflectchanges to the LimitationsAct. After that date, doc-tors must retain medical

records for a minimum of16 years from the date lastseen or the age of majority.

For those who havemoved and haven’t founda new family doctor, yourold records may be gonebefore you have a chanceto transfer them.

Your medical recordsbelong to the physician orthe facility where you havebeen treated. They includeconsultants’ letters, sur-gical reports, lab resultsand other investigationsin addition to the clinicalnotes of the physician.

Those clinical notes aregenerally written with thesometimes illegible short-hand and abbreviationsof physicians. They aren’treally written to be readby a layperson. Rather,they are meant to pro-vide a summary of eachpatient-doctor encounterwritten such that anotherphysician could clearlyunderstand what was said(the history), what wasfound (on examination),what was suspected (thedifferential diagnosis) andwhat was planned (thetreatment, investigationand the follow-up).

If you walked into yourdoctor’s office and askedfor your chart, it wouldn’timmediately be handed toyou. Reviewing records– particularly clinical notes

– requires assistance fromsomeone with a medicalbackground.

For example, if youread “S.O.B.” in your chartyou might feel insultedthough the doctor wassimply using the acceptedabbreviation for shortnessof breath.

Though you don’t ownyour medical records, youhave a right to the infor-mation contained withinthem. You should be cau-tious when signing off theright to share your confi-dential information with athird party.

When you – or someoneelse, such as a lawyer, withyour written permission– requests the copyingor transfer of your rec-ords, the doctor’s officewill charge a fee that isgenerally reasonable andproportionate to the timerequired to review the rec-ords and produce copies.

The main reason med-ical records are destroyedbeyond the legal reten-tion limit is the amountof space required by thetraditional paper chart.I’ve had some patientswhose charts filled threefile folders.

The problem of spacewill eventually be resolvedwith the widespread adop-tion of electronic medicalrecords.

Cola, seltzer can both clean corroded battery

Dear Tom and Ray:I live near the ocean, and

my less-than-a-year-old bat-tery died this week.

My neighbour, whojumped the battery with hiscables, said that my connec-tions should be disconnected

and cleaned with a wirebrush due to corrosion.

My other neighbour saidshe poured a can of Coke onher battery and it cleaned offall of the corrosion. BeforeI start pouring Coke on mycar battery, may I have youropinion on her fantastic rem-edy?

– MarthaRAY: We prefer Dr.Pepper, Martha.TOM: If you do have alot of corrosion betweenthe posts and the terminalends of the battery, it canprevent the battery frombeing charged completely,

or discharged when youneed the power.RAY: But you shouldn’thave that kind of corro-sion on a year-old battery– even if your next-doorneighbours are Mr. andMrs. Sea Cucumber.TOM: Corrosion like thatusually is caused by “out-gassing,” which meansthe acid in your battery isescaping from its containerin gaseous form.RAY: That can be causedby either a faulty battery– in which case yoursshould be covered by war-ranty – or a charging sys-

tem that’s “overcharging”the battery and causing itto emit gas.TOM: So you’ll want totake your car to a goodmechanic, and ask him totest your battery and char-ging system.RAY: If all’s well, the cor-rosion may be a red her-ring. Especially since weknow herring live nearyou in the ocean.

Your battery may havedied due to human error:You may have left a domelight on, or simply left thecar sitting for a few weekswithout driving it.

TOM: If there is a problemwith the charging system,then you need to fix thatbefore you blow throughany more good batteries.RAY: And Coke – with itscarbonic and phosphoricacids – will help removecorrosion from batteryterminals, as will any car-bonated beverage (they allcontain carbonic acid).

Although a nice spark-ling water, without thesugary syrup, would be aneven better choice.

Add lime or a twist ifyou want your termin-als to feel particularly

refreshed.TOM: Or even better, andcheaper, mix a little bakingsoda with water to make arunny paste.

Remove the battery’sterminal ends, smear yourmixture on the batteryposts and terminals, givethem each a little scrubwith a wire brush, andrinse it all off with a gar-den hose.

Imagine if the entire length

of highway between Van-

couver, B.C. and Thunder

Bay, Ont. was littered with de-

bris – such as cigarette butts,

plastic bags and food contain-

ers.

That stretch of highway is the

approximate length of shoreline

(a little more than 3,000 kilome-

tres) that was cleaned during the

2012 Great Canadian Shoreline

Cleanup, a joint collaboration be-

tween the Vancouver Aquarium

and WWF. It’s the largest direct-

action public conservation effort

in the country. It’s a lot of litter

(more than 136,000 kg worth),

but it doesn’t even come close to

encompassing the total amount

of litter that still plagues Canada’s

shorelines (anywhere where land

In B.C. alone, more than 136,000 kilograms of litter was cleaned from its shorelines during the 2012 GreatCanadian Shoreline Cleanup.

meets water) and negatively impacts

surrounding communities and wild-

life. That’s why this year, even more

volunteers and site coordinators are

needed to battle shoreline litter, a

major environmental issue.

“No matter what form it comes in,

shoreline litter and pollution puts

ecosystems, wildlife and people at

risk,” says Jill Dwyer, program man-

ager for the Great Canadian Shore-

line Cleanup. “This litter can nega-

tively impact water quality through

contamination, as well as the health

of plants and animals that live in

that ecosystem.”

The results of shoreline litter are far

reaching:

* Shoreline litter poses danger

for people and causes economic

damage to areas that rely on tour-

ism or water-based industries, like

fishing.

* Local wildlife run the risk of get-ting tangled in or ingesting litter orother pollutants.

* Organisms often attach to litter

as it flows through water systems,

causing invasive species to infil-

trate foreign habitats and damage

the sensitive balance of the eco-

system.

* Wildlife entangled in litter such

as plastic bags, six-pack rings, rib-

bon, fishing line or food wrappers

can have their movements restrict-

ed, be injured or even eventually

drown, suffocate or starve.

* Animals like sea turtles often

mistake plastic bags for jellyfish

and swallow them. This clogs their

digestive tracts, leading to starva-

tion and death.

* Water quality is affected by the

toxins emitted from litter.

The good news is that you can

be part of the solution to keep

our shorelines healthy for your

community and wildlife. During

last year’s cleanup effort in Brit-

ish Columbia, over 136,036 kg of

shoreline litter was collected from

the province’s shorelines – the ap-

proximate weight of 27 Steller sea

lions – but there’s more where that

came from.

This fall, our national cleanup ef-

fort – part of the Ocean Conservan-

cy’s International Coastal Cleanup

– will take place from Sept. 21

to 29. Adopt a local shoreline as

a site coordinator, or volunteer

with an existing cleanup – right

in your own community. Online

registration opens in May at Shore

lineCleanup.ca, or sign up today

by emailing ShorelineCleanup@

vanaqua.org.

Volunteers are needed for the 2013 Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup.

Some kitch-ens will havetheir owner’sunharnessedculinary pas-sions bestowedupon them ona daily basis,while the onlyglory days inother kitchensmay be derivedfrom someoneadding onionsand garlic toa saucepan ofstore-bought pasta sauce…but it is all still cooking.

I hate to even imaginethere is a percentage ofour population who relyon daily practices of con-suming products like TVdinners, frozen pizzas andspray can pancake batter.Yes, I did say “spray canpancake batter!”

Talking with employeesof a large grocery chain,they tell me they are con-stantly bombarded with

requests from consumersfor fast already preparedmeals that they just heatand serve. Is there really agrowing number of peoplein our society who havesuccumbed to rely on pre-made meals from a pack-age or container? Havewe lost so much time inour ever-busy lifestylesthat we cannot committo practising creativity inthe one life-nourishing artform that our homes havealways been designedaround?

Who made cookingnegative anyway? We did.We did as human beings.Take for example thesimple tasks of washing avehicle, mowing the lawn,

or our dailycommute towork. Arethese tasksof completenegativity thatall of us aredestined tosuffer throughfor the rest ofour lives? No,some of usthrive in thesesituations.What makesthese tasks athand, alongwith cooking,a chore then?

One of thethings wedo, which no

other life form does, isanalyze and label. Everysingle thing we do, otherthan breathe or blink, weanalyze and label. We cre-ate good and bad, positiveand negative with ournatural human psychewithout even realizing itfor the most part.

Cooking, again, is justcooking. If it is positive forone and also negative atthe same time for another,it is because each of those

individuals have made itso. It is because of theiropinion or perception thatmakes the act of doingsomething a joyous occa-sion or a nagging dailyoccurrence.

Don’t get me wrong;people are entitled to theiropinions, and if thereare people out there whoare happy with cookingbeing a chore, then sobe it. What I don’t wantis people believing theydon’t have a choice of itbeing a chore. Of courseyou have a choice. Youjust need to find the wayto create a positive frameof mind regarding the taskat hand. So with cooking,in our home, we introducemusic and a favourite bev-erage to the environmentand use this as an enjoy-able opportunity to catchup with each other andtake pleasure in the fam-ily being together in oneroom.

Everyone is unique,however, and what seemsto be a simple change offocus to creative, optimis-tic endeavours with oneperson, may be completelydifferent for someone else.What makes you happy?What can you bring tothe kitchen environment(mentally or physically)in order to make a moreoptimistic approach to thislife-essential assignment?

Whatever it takes foryou to have a more posi-tive approach, the truthis you will typically savemoney and eat healthieroverall for doing so … andhopefully enjoy yourself,your family and yourkitchen more. Happycooking.

SECTION COORDINATOR Tom Berridge, 604-444-3022 • [email protected]

KidSport football camp kicks off SaturdayThe CFL season might still be a couple of months

away, but kids from across the Lower Mainland will havethe chance to practise with Lions’ quarterback TravisLulay this weekend during the first-ever Football Frenzycamp in New Westminster.

The day-long camp – a partnership between the RoyalCity Hyack Football Club and Jim Pattison Hyundai – isthe first official fundraiser for the newest KidSport chap-ter, in New Westminster.

Royal City resident, Farhan Lalji, was approached byJeff Rae, general manager of JP Hyundai in Surrey, whowanted to run a fundraiser for KidSport.

Rae had previously organized an event in October tosupport the national charity, but thanks to the NHL lock-out the event wasn’t as successful as he had hoped.

“It didn’t get the exposure I thought it deserved,” Raesaid. “I thought (we could) try and do something to makeup for it.”

Rae then contacted Lalji and Lulay, who both signedon and soon Football Frenzy was born. The camp runs allday April 20 with all the money raised through registra-tion going to KidSport.

“We hope to raise a bunch of money for KidSport, buteven more than that, we hope to raise awareness for theprogram,” he said. “There’s lots of people out there thatdon’t know that (the) organization exists.”

KidSport is a non-profit organization that began in1993 to help families pay for their kids to participate inorganized sports.

According to their mission statement, KidSport helpsgive children between the ages of five and 18 access tosport opportunities and experiences in both team andindividual sports “so all kids can play.”

Both Rae and Lalji hope this weekend’s event will cre-ate awareness for this important program.

“I’d probably say that throughout our entire (Hyacks)program we probably have 15 to 20 (youths) that are inKidSport,” Lalji said.

For a long time New Westminster didn’t have its ownchapter – this meant families looking for support wouldhave to deal directly with the organization’s head officein Victoria.

“Many of the other municipalities and cities aroundhave their own chapter, so it was important that we haveour own,” he said. “When you look at the socio-econom-ics of our area, not everybody lives in Queen’s Park … wehave a lot of kids that need it.”

Much to Lalji’s delight, New Westminster opened its

own chapter about six months ago.“It’s important that we realize that there’s so much

potential for that person that we can help foster,” he said.“None of us involved in this (organization) ever wantmoney to be a reason why a kid can’t play.”

Sports are an important part of growing up, Lalji said,especially in today’s society where most kids spend moretime in front of a television than playing outside.

“This will allow more kids to take part in those typesof activities,” he said.

Young football players between the ages of six and 13years old will spend the day learning about the sport from

Lulay and coaches from the Hyack club.The camp runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Mercer

Stadium in New Westminster. To register, visit http://jpfootballfrenzy.com.

Rae encourages everyone to register online before theevent, so organizers can ensure every player gets a T-shirtand lunch.

Burnaby residents can find more information abouttheir local chapter at www.kidsportburnaby.com or byphone at 604-294-7111.

Estrella de Chile turns up heat in second half

Estrella de Chile has once again provenits worth, defeating the ICST Pegasus 3-2in the first round of provincial play.

Head coach Claudio Ramirez couldn’thelp but be proud of his team who – afteronly one season in the Vancouver MetroSoccer League’s premier division – man-aged to come back from a 2-0 start andbeat Pegasus in extra time.

“It’s pretty exciting for us to be in thisposition,” he said.

But the game didn’t start off the wayRamirez had hoped.

By the 30-minute mark Chile was down

2-0 to Pegasus, a team they’d beaten – ifnot dominated, Ramirez said – in regularseason play.

A free kick and a penaltykick forced Chile to play catch-up, but it took until the secondhalf for the team to really getgoing.

“I wasn’t really nervous asI was upset that they weren’tplaying the way they normallyplay, they weren’t taking it tothe other team, they weren’ttrying to hold on to the ball,”he said. “Maybe they were a bitoverwhelmed at the pressure ofthe game, but we were not on(in) the first 30 minutes of thatgame.”

Whatever the reason,Ramirez relayed his feelings to his teamduring the halftime break and with the

start of the second half, Chile was backplaying the style of game that led them to

a winning season in the pre-mier league.

The turning point camewhen goalie Michael Newtonstopped a breakaway kickfrom Pegasus. Almost imme-diately after, Chile turnedup the heat scoring their firstgoal of the game, which camefrom Eric Roy.

“Our goalie made a fantas-tic save and that was reallythe trigger point,” Ramirezsaid.

The tying goal camearound the 25-minute markfrom Brian Dotting.

Dotting’s goal forced thegame into extra time where Habil Otienoscored the winning goal for Chile, about

six-and-a-half minutes into the first 15 ofextra time.

With this win, Estrella de Chile advanc-es to the quarter finals of provincial playwhere they’ll face Surrey United– the onlyteam to have beaten Chile during the regu-lar season – some time this weekend.

“We had some good matches againstSurrey United, at times we dominatedthem but for the most part they came outat the good end of the scoreboard,” hesaid.

In an exhibition game a few weeksback, Chile managed to tie Surrey at 2-2.

Ramirez hopes the team can recap-ture the strength of that game during theupcoming quarter final this weekend.

“If we manage to stay disciplined andimpose our will on the game we’ll be fine,regardless of the outcome,” he said. “Wetake it one game at a time, we’ve got noth-ing to lose.”
