Massive oil tanks are firefighter’s nightmareBurnaby’s deputy fire chief is raising

alarming safety concerns about KinderMorgan’s plan to expand the BurnabyMountain tank farm.

Dept. Fire Chief Chris Bowcock is wor-ried the 13-tank storage facility slated forexpansion on the south side of BurnabyMountain, would be an uncontrollabledisaster in the event of a major fire or earth-quake. His worst-case scenarios involveclouds of poisonous gas, explosions of mol-ten crude and fires burning for days – allclose to residential areas and Forest GroveElementary.

“I think from the fire department’s per-spective, we are coming at this as commu-nity advocates for fire and safety,” Bowcocktold the NOW. “We believe our responsibil-ity is to the citizens of Burnaby – the protec-tion of their lives, their property – and thehealth of the community as a whole.”

Kinder Morgan filed its application tothe National Energy Board in December.The company is proposing to twin theTrans Mountain pipeline and expand thetank storage facility, increasing capacityfrom 1.6 million barrels of oil to 3.6 millionby adding 14 new tanks.

According to Bowcock, Kinder Morganraised three safety concerns about the tankfarm in the application: potential dischargeof sulphur-based compounds, such ashydrogen sulphide, a poisonous gas; toxic

smoke plumes in the event of a fire; anda “boil-over” event, when a tank is leftto burn for an extensive period of timeand eventually explodes, spraying moltencrude the length of 10 tanks.

“So if you have a 100-foot tank, the

dispersal rate of that molten crude wouldbe 1,000 feet – that’s a great distance,”Bowcock said.

For 15 years, Bowcock worked as anemergency management consultant andconducted field training for tank-fire sup-

pression and pre-planning in the Albertaoil sands. While there, he learned a thing ortwo about tank farms: Don’t put them onmountains and keep them on flat ground

Council OK’s two Station Square highrisesThe next two Station Square highrises

are set to join Burnaby’s skyline, and thefirst Brentwood tower is one step closer toapproval, following Monday night’s citycouncil meeting.

Council gave final adoption to the con-struction of the two Metrotown towers– 38 and 48 storeys – atop a lowrise com-

mercial podium, and gave third reading toBrentwood Town Centre’s first 53-storeyskyscraper, to be located at 4567 LougheedHwy.

The city reports noted that dozens ofprerequisite conditions for both develop-ments have been satisfied, including instal-lation of underground wiring, granting ofnecessary easements, provisions for cyclistsand designs of units adaptable for peoplewith disabilities.

“We will be filing disclosure once we’reall set up and we’re able to sort of go tomarket with it,” said Greg Zayadi, vice-president of sales and marketing withAnthem Properties, one of the developersof the Station Square towers. “We’re justgetting everything set up and we’re goodto go.”

The 12-acre Station Square site, locatedbehind the Metrotown SkyTrain station, isproposed to hold five residential apartment

buildings, one of which is currently underconstruction on the corner of Kingsway andStation Street. The two newly approvedtowers, at 4670 Assembly Way and 6098Station St., will hold upwards of 700 apart-ments, with construction set to begin thisfall. Two future towers are proposed to bebuilt along McKay Avenue to round out theproject, though those are still in the designphase.

Caught between a rock and the city

A South Burnaby homeownerclaims the city is coming downon her over some previouslyapproved landscaping on herproperty, but the city argues thatthe homeowner is encroaching onpublic property.

Last August, Louise Leblanc,who lives on Clinton Street, hireda landscaping company to doextensive work to the front ofher property, including installingtwo large, stone pillars at the topof her driveway. However, cityengineers have sent several lettersto Leblanc since October, orderingthe pillars to be moved back fromthe curb.

“They said that the pillars thatwe put to delineate the start ofthe driveway… had to be movedbecause the city would be puttingin sidewalks at some point,” saidLeblanc.

While the city widened theroad by three feet when it recentlyinstalled curbs on both sides of thestreet, Leblanc said her husband,a civil engineer, checked with thecity’s engineering department andwas told it was still too narrow forsidewalks.

“My argument with the citywas that sidewalks wouldn’t begoing in, but they said (they were)looking 30 years down the road.There’s always a possibility, I’mnot going to deny that, but wewould be more than willing tomove the pillars at that time, andwe’ll sign something making usliable for doing so.”

However, Leon Gous,Burnaby’s director of engineering,

said that even though sidewalkshave not been paved on Clinton,the front of the lots are publicproperty and are meant to be usedfor pedestrians to walk on.

“We have a boulevard for a rea-son – it’s partly for public access ifthere’s sidewalks,” he said, notingthat he’s received about five com-plaints from neighbours about thepillars. “If there isn’t, then you canstill walk along it off the street.

“The two stone pillars …they’ve put right up to the curband built rock walls up to them, sobasically they’ve blocked off thepublic sidewalk.”

According to Gous, Leblancwould have to move the pillarsabout four metres back – the dis-tance from the curb to her prop-erty line – as well as shorten one

of the rock walls. Otherwise, thecity may remove the pillars andbill the work to Leblanc.

He likened it to people puttingelection signs on public property.

“We will remove them andyou can come fetch them – theyremain your property, but they’renot allowed to be on public prop-erty,” he said.

Leblanc maintains that the pil-lars are part of the driveway, whichis considered a private access roadto private property rather thanpublic property. She said she feelslike she’s being singled out by thecity as she’s seen other nearbyresidences with landscaping workup to the curb.

“We have other properties thathave landscapes all the way up tothe street – not only on our street

but in the surrounding neighbour-hood,” she said.

Leblanc noted she and her hus-band are willing to compromisewith the city, saying, “I’m surewe can come to an agreement thatisn’t, ‘Take everything out.’”

Gous acknowledged that engi-neers have had “a bit of a back-and-forth” with the Leblancs andsaid the city is trying to give themone last chance before workers aresent in to move the pillars.

“It’s unfortunate – we neverwant to get to that position, whichis why we go to a lot of troubleworking with people,” he said.“At the end of the day, it’s goingto cost them money to move theserocks, but it’ll cost them more if Iremove them and they have to goreinstall them.”

City says homeowner’sstone pillars are on cityland – but she says theywere approved


Stonewalled: Louise Leblanc says the City of Burnaby has ordered her to move two pillars recentlyinstalled at the top of her driveway. The city says the pillars are on public property.

Pot: Fed rules and city bylaws collideWhile the federal government’s

new medical marijuana regula-tions took effect nearly a monthago, a recent injunction to tempo-rarily allow previously licensedusers to continue growing on their

own has called into question con-tradictory municipal legislation.

In November, Burnaby citycouncil approved a bylaw amend-ment to force all medical mari-juana production facilities intoindustrial zones, falling in linewith the incoming Marihuana forMedical Purposes Regulations

(MMPR). The switch by the fedsto the new program sparked anational uproar from users underthe old Medical Marihuana AccessRegulations (MMAR), whose per-sonal licences were to be revokedas of April 1.

However, an injunction hasallowed those users to keep grow-

ing their own stash until a consti-tutional challenge of the MMPRsystem is heard.

“The feds granted a licencefor personal growers or someonewho was growing for a numberof people under those licences,


Pot Page 4

but that didn’t mean that if you got afederal licence that you were licensedat a provincial or local level,” said LouPelletier, director of planning and build-ing with the City of Burnaby.

Pelletier said that even if a medicinaluser wants to grow only for themselves, todo so legally, they would have to rezonetheir property to industrial.

“The bylaw in Burnaby has beenchanged, so looking backwards at whatthe federal licence is isn’t really materialto what we look at when someone comesforward and says, ‘I’d like to get localapproval for this,’” he said, likening it tolicensing programs for other fields.

“I can get a licence to drive a taxifrom Burnaby, but if I go to Ontario, thatdoesn’t mean I have a licence to drive a

taxi in Ontario. I still need to go through alocal approval process.”

Similar bylaws have been put in placein other Lower Mainland cities, includingSurrey and Richmond, restricting com-mercial grow operations to specific zones.

Pelletier noted that the city does notkeep track of the number of medical mari-juana users in Burnaby, though the bylawamendment will allow the city to mapout new medical grow-ops when own-ers apply to rezone their properties. Inaddition, the rezoning process requires apublic hearing to give residents their say ifa medical marijuana production facility isproposed for their neighbourhood.

Pelletier added that at this time, no onehas applied to rezone their property togrow medical marijuana, commercially orotherwise.

The growing tension over a bed-bug infestation at 4105 Albert St. isspinning out of control, and the riftbetween tenants and the buildingmanager is worsening.

“A lot of people are afraid,” saidtenant Gerry Cole. “Now I am beingvictimized by the landlord, and theyare seeing that.”

Many of the residents in the build-ing are living on limited incomes,they are elderly or dealing with men-tal illness issues, Cole added. It’snot easy for them to find anotherapartment.

William Yen, the building ownerwho has 13 properties in the LowerMainland, attributed the conflict toone or two troublemakers.

According to Yen, the issue is `onetenant who refuses to have her suitesprayed, so she’s been served withan eviction notice.

“She has a couple of kids. Shewanted to stay in a hotel, we agreedto pay,” Yen said, referring the NOWto Local Pest Control company formore details on the bugs.

Erick De Carvalho, sales managerwith Local Pest Control, confirmedthe infestation has been ongoing fora couple of years, but his companywas only hired in recent weeks. It’sunclear how many suites are infest-ed, but De Carvalho was told thereare only three units in the building

with bedbugs, and they are comingfrom one apartment and a noncom-pliant tenant.

“The issue is resulting most likelyfrom one individual suite and ten-ant,” he said, adding that tenant isnot cooperating with steps to pre-pare the place for treatment.

“When we came in to treat lasttime, he hadn’t followed a single step,and the infestation is quite wide-spread in that unit,” De Carvalhosaid. De Carvalho has proposed toinspect every single suite and is wait-

ing for Yen’s response.However, the building manager,

Nader Pourbazyar, said the tenant inquestion has been cooperating, buthe was evicting another noncompli-ant tenant who wouldn’t leave hersuite so it could be treated. He’s alsoevicting Cole for allegedly running amarijuana grow-op out of his suite.

The other tenant and Cole arefighting the eviction, and Cole isextremely frustrated.

“I’m way past that,” he said.“Nobody is helping me.”

The B.C. Liberal govern-ment has largely shedthe labour relationsheadaches it helped cre-

ate when it first took power in2001, with one glaring exception.

That would be its tumultu-ous, antagonistic and befuddlingrelationship with the union thatrepresents B.C.’s public schoolteachers.

Watching the B.C. Teachers’Federation and the governmentengage in a seemingly never-ending struggle to determinewho wields the power in schoolsand classrooms is akin to view-ing a soap opera in which you’renever really sure which charac-ter is in charge.

In recent years, the govern-ment has established an impres-sive record in negotiating collec-tive agreements with a host ofpublic sector unions, with rarelya peep of unrest and withoutdraining the public treasury aswell.

Not so its dealings with theBCTF, which have been charac-terized by strife, suspicion andalmost a complete lack of suc-cess. The fractious relationship is

played out in public, with duel-ing news conferences or protestrallies, and it’s getting rathertiresome.

Yet here we go again.The government and the

union are on yet another colli-sion course, which will almostcertainly end in a way thatpleases neither party. The gapbetween the two sides on somany issues is so vast, it willtake a miracle to close it – and itwould involve shifting hundredsof millions of dollars from oneside to another.

As I write this, the union islooking for a salary increaseof almost 16 per cent (com-pounded) over four years, whilethe government is offering overseven per cent over six years.Given that a one per cent payhike is the equivalent to about$25 million, that’s a gap of about$75 million a year, and thatdoesn’t include an improvedbenefit package and otherimprovements the BCTF is look-ing for.

On the important issues ofclass size and class composition,the union is seeking a return tocontract language and staffinglevels that were in place in 2002.That would cost about $300 mil-lion a year over what is current-ly spent, while the governmentis offering to top up its LearningImprovement Fund by $75 mil-lion this year. The gap: about$225 million.

Federal Online Crime Act bill goes too farBill C-13, the Protecting Canadians

from Online Crime Act, is the latestTory Trojan horse that would under-mine citizens’ privacy rights under theguise of protecting us fromonline evil.

Who wouldn’t want to doaway with child pornograph-ers, cyber bullies and vile websites likeThe Dirty? The problem is only a tinyportion of the bill is actually aimed atsuch legitimate concerns.

The vast majority of it is instead

aimed at legitimizing police and gov-ernment snooping through our privateinformation — without any oversight.

Search warrants exist for a reason.They provide an importantcheck and balance.

Under the provisions ofthe online crime bill, how-

ever, Internet service providers couldhand over anything requested byauthorities — without a search war-rant or even a record. Justice MinisterPeter MacKay has been asked by legal

experts to divide the bill into two parts– to distinguish between cyberbully-ing and terrorism – but he refuses to dothat.

There are those who make the argu-ment that they have nothing to hide, sosuch laws don’t concern them.

But hands up those who’d likethe state to have access to everythingthey’ve plugged into a search enginein the past month? Every email they’vesent to friends or website they’ve vis-ited? Admittedly, Canadians already

give up a lot of privacy willingly. Theytrade use of “free” sites like Facebookand Google for their information.

But a year after Edward Snowden’srevelations about massive online sur-veillance were made public, the factremains citizens should have a reason-able expectation of privacy in a freecountry – including online. Anythingless is a move down the slippery slopeto Big Brother’s surveillance state.

– Guest editorial from the North ShoreNews

Will B.C.’s soapopera ever end?

Class size impacts teaching styleDear Editor:

Peter Cameron, speaking to media on behalf ofthe B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, hasbeen dismissive of the notion that class size mat-ters to student outcomes. Seemingly as a side note,he acknowledged that class composition has someimpact.

Then, he strongly emphasized that teacher com-petence is a very important determinant of improvedstudent outcomes. What he neglected to mention,but most likely understands, is that the three factorsare interrelated in important ways and cannot besensibly discussed as separate issues. Argumentsin favour of including class size and composition

in the teachers’ contract are fundamentally aboutinstitutionalizing working conditions that facilitateteacher competence, and thus support the diverseand varied learning needs of students.

I have been a teacher for over two decades,in large and small class-size situations, in publicschools in the Lower Mainland of B.C., and in pri-vate schools overseas. I have found that class size hashad little impact on the numbers of hours I devote tomy work, but it does have a very strong impact onthe quality of my interactions with students. WhenI teach large classes and have a larger student loadoverall, I have to shift to more of a “mass consumer”approach, rather than attending to individual anddiverse learning needs of my students.

Both instructional approaches take timeand energy, but the way that time is uti-lized is different. In large classes, studentsget less individual and personal care, and Ias a teacher learn my craft more slowly.

One of the things that I love about mywork is that I never really feel as thoughI have mastered it, thus I’m provoked tocontinually strive and struggle to learnand improve.

Even though over 3,000 students havebeen in my various classrooms over theyears, when I have time and capacity toattend more closely to individuals, stu-dents are still showing me more and morelayers of the ways in which they under-stand and make sense of things (or, misun-derstand and struggle to make sense).

Thus, they continue to teach me howto be more useful to them as their guideand mentor. Each of those layers revealedto me by individual students is part of

the ongoing training that helps me learnto be useful to a higher percentage of mystudents each year (when one studentwakes me up more fully, all my studentsbenefit).

Smaller classes are important for stu-dents, for the teachers, for the system aswhole, and thus for our society.

Smaller classes, with supports appro-priate to the diversity of learning needswithin those classes, establish conditionsin which teachers have the capacity notjust to provide academic instruction to themasses, but also to provide care, and tomore effectively learn and develop theirprofessional expertise.

The institutionalization of class sizelimits and support for diversity in classcomposition is an investment in currentand future students, which ultimately isan investment that supports the long-term heath and development of B.C. as awhole.Mati Bernabei, secondary school teacher, Burnaby

school district


Yes, class size matters

Add it up and the dif-ference between the twosides’ position is a whop-ping $300 million, andas I noted, this does notinclude a raft of otherexpensive items.

But deeply embed-ded in this dispute (well,actually, the never endingdispute) is something thatappears to cripple anychance of a successful,negotiated outcome: a mis-trust and a lack of respectof each other.

The government poi-soned the well when itarbitrarily stripped lan-guage governing classsizes from the collectiveagreement back in 2002and things have neverreally got back on trackever since.

The union has won twocourt challenges on thisone issue, and the govern-ment won’t give up thefight and is appealing theruling to a higher court(and depending on whowins there, the loser willno doubt try to appeal

to the Supreme Court ofCanada).

The BCTF doesn’t exact-ly have clean hands inthis little ongoing dramaeither. I find teachers, forthe most part, to be a pas-sionate, committed bunch(many dip into their ownpockets to pay for theirstudents’ needs, includingfood) but their union isanother story.

It is an ideologicallyhidebound organizationthat doesn’t really fit intoa labour relations model,which makes its efforts atcollective bargaining feebleand ineffective at times.

Unlike other publicsector unions, it refuses totake into account the gov-ernment’s fiscal position orability to pay and exhibitsan often maddening senseof entitlement, as if theinterests of its membershiptrumps everything elsepublic tax dollars fund.

But it has also provento be a resilient foe of theB.C. Liberal governmentand has tripped it up onmore than one occasion.

It may not win at thenegotiating table veryoften, but it has postedbig victories in court andat the Labour RelationsBoard.

When both sides won’ttrust or respect each other,they make mistakes andmisread each other’smoves.

That’s been happeningin the current breakdown,even though bargainingcontinues (without muchprogress being made, itseems).

This current contractimpasse may be headedfor a legislated resolution,or perhaps if the two sidescan get at least a little clos-er to each other’s positionsome kind of meaningfulmediation can take place.

In any event, until amutual trust and respectfinds its way into the pic-ture, we’re going to see areplay of the current melo-drama as soon as the nextcontract expires.

and away from residential areas, forinstance. According to Bowcock, the tanksmust be placed no closer than the diameterof the tank, so if you have a 100-foot diame-ter tank, the next tank should be at least 100feet away. There should also be 360-degreeaccess to the tanks, in case of emergency.

Bowcock is concerned about increas-ing density of the tanks, which he saysincreases the chances of a fire at one tankspreading to another.

The massive oil tanks have been onBurnaby Mountain for decades, withoutany major explosions or firestorms, but thatdoesn’t seem to reassure Bowcock.

“You have to balance the frequency ofoccurrence with the consequences of occur-rence,” he said, adding the region is due fora major earthquake.

And if a fire were to start at the tankfarm, it would very likely burn for days,according to Bowcock.

“The amount of heat firefighters aretaking on, the amount of risk you’re expos-ing them to – if you can’t create a safeenvironment to fight the fire, it may not beextinguishable,” he said, adding it can takefour to seven days for a tank to burn off allof its fuel.

According to Bowcock, tank farm firescan start from lightening strikes, eventhough there are “counter measures” onthe tanks.

“Lighting hits high points, and it hitsmetal objects. Depending where a tank farmis located it can be more or less susceptibleto lightning strikes,” Bowcock said.

Any kind of “hot work” – welding, forinstance – or errors, human or otherwise,could also start a fire.

The fire department’s concerns wereincluded in the City of Burnaby’s informa-tion request, recently filed with the NationalEnergy Board, as a part of the pipeline hear-ing.

“We have a lot of questions based on theapplication. The application didn’t providemuch specific information on how theserisks and emergencies could be managedand reduced,” Bowcock said. “We haveconcerns about whether it’s even possibleto reduce these risks, … and if it is possible,we have no info on how that’s going to beachieved.”

Bowcock said the Kinder Morgan expan-sion proposal presents too many uncontrol-

lable risks that could have unacceptableconsequences for the NEB to accept theproposal.

Oil and gas facilities are required to havetheir own firefighters onsite, as the primeresponsibility for handling a potential firefalls on the operators. However, the city’sfire department may be called on to help,especially with rescues or evacuations,Bowcock explained, and Kinder Morgan’sfirefighting capability is “at question,” headded.

The NOW posed Bowcock’s concerns toAli Hounsell, spokesperson for the TransMountain expansion.

“First and foremost, there’s nothingmore important to Trans Mountain than thesafety of our neighbourhoods, the commu-nity and our employees,” she said. “Safetyis our top priority, and in 60 years of opera-tion in Burnaby, we’ve never had a fire atthe terminal.”

Hounsell said the pipeline applicationincluded risk assessments that deal withworst-case scenarios, and worst-case sce-nario planning assumes there’s no emer-gency response to a fire, which in realitywould not be the case.

“It is important to remember that theassessments contained in the applicationare preliminary, and we will use the reportsto inform the design of the facility anddevelopment of our operational emergen-cy response plan. So, we expect the finaldesign will result in significant decreases inthe mitigated risks that you see preventedin these types of reports,” she said. “We’lldevelop more detailed emergency responseplans for the expansion, and we’ll provideupdated risk assessments as well.”

Hounsell wasn’t sure when that infor-mation will be available, but since the firedepartment’s concerns were raised in thefirst round of information requests for thepipeline hearing, Kinder Morgan will for-mally reply through the hearing. The dead-line for the company to respond is June 13.

“We would also look forward with localemergency responders to help develop anyresponse plans moving forward,” Hounselladded.

As for the hilly location and proximity tohomes, Hounsell said there is no proposalto move the facility but reiterated that therehave been no fires in six decades.

Both the Station Squareand Brentwood develop-ments have been met withconcerns from the publicover density, increased traf-fic, pedestrian safety, emer-gency access, infrastructureand parking, among other

fears.Last month, the city

acknowledged issues withthe Brentwood develop-ment by creating a city man-ager’s report that addresseda number of concerns raisedat a lengthy public hearingabout the site in February.

The city has yet to hold apublichearingforthesecondproposed Brentwood tower,though the city manager’sreport noted that additionalhearings and open houseswill be held for each phaseof the Brentwood develop-ment.

The City of Burnaby is asking Port MetroVancouver to revise its drafted land useplan to bring it in line with the city andMetro Vancouver’s own designations.

Council voted several weeks ago torequest that the port amend its land-use des-ignations for a number of Burnaby proper-ties in its plan. The request asks Port MetroVancouver to conduct further research ofBerry Point and Shellburn Lands, designatethe water lot of Burrard Inlet ConservationArea and two waterfront properties inBarnet Marine Park for recreation, and limitthe capacity of bulk shipments in and out ofthe Westridge Marine Terminal.

It also asks for recreation and conser-vation designations to be added to anindustrial area from Wiggins Street to city

boundaries.Coun. Nick Volkow said the city and

the port seemed to have an agreement onthe majority of the properties in question,but raised concerns with the port’s ideasfor expansion of the Westridge MarineTerminal. The city opposes expansion of theterminal and increased petroleum exports,citing risks to the environment in Burnabyand surrounding regions.

“There remain some points of conten-tion between us and Port Metro,” addedMayor Derek Corrigan. “I think it’s impor-tant that Port Metro Vancouver come to thetable with local governments and, as muchas possible, bring their land-use plan intoconformance with our zoning.”

Westcoast Seniors

T heir kids might not want to hear it, their doctorsmight not have brought it up, but a group ofNew Westminster seniors is ready to start talking

about what kind of medical care they want (and don’twant) if they ever get too sick to decide for themselves.

“My doctor has never discussed this with me. Maybeshe’s not prepared to, but I will go and talk to her,”Patricia Redman told the Burnaby NOW.

“If they’re not ready to discuss it,” Dianne Clark said ofher two daughters, “I need to write stuff down.”

Redman and Clark were part of an innovative newworkshop on advance-care planning this month.

Sponsored by the Fraser Northwest Division of FamilyPractice to mark national Advance Care Planning Day onApril 16, it brought together both seniors and family doc-tors to learn about planning ahead for their future care incase a severe illness ever renders them unable to makedecisions for themselves.

It’s rare to see doctors and laypeople learning togeth-er, said co-facilitator Dr. Charlie Chen, a hospice and pal-liative care consultant for Royal Columbian Hospital andthe New West community.

The content they need to know on most health-relat-ed topics is usually quite different, he said.

Not so with advance-care planning.“It’s an activity that everybody should know how

to do, even doctors for themselves,” Chen said. “Wealso believe that if doctors engage in the creation of

their own advance-care planning, they’re going to bemore able to facilitate advance-care planning for theirpatients.”

When patients don’t have a plan, the result is usually alot of stress on relatives and doctors.

It’s a scenario Dr. Marianne Russell, who was at thismonth’s workshop, has dealt with many times. A fam-ily doctor, who has worked as medical coordinator for a

seniors’ residential-care facility, she has seen how stress-ful it is for families to try to make decisions for loved oneswho haven’t made plans for themselves.

“You’ll have family members that may have no ideawhat their relative wanted, and that’s a problem for thefamily member,” Russell said. “They feel an immenseresponsibility and sometimes guilt.”

Seniors need to plan for end-of-life careArea doctorsand seniors learntogether aboutadvance-careplanning at apilot workshopsponsored by theFraser NorthwestDivision ofFamily Practice inNew Westminsterlast month. Moresuch workshopsmay be in storefor the future.

When there is no family, that responsi-bility and guilt falls on doctors.

This month’s workshop was aimed atencouraging both patients and doctorsto get conversations about advance-careplanning started early.

That’s important, Chen said, becausesuch conversations are complex and taketime.

“The more we talk about these thingswith our patients, the more they have anopportunity to think about them,” he said.“Each successive health-care encounterallows the patient to understand moreabout what they want and for us to under-

stand about what they want.”There is also a financial argument to be

made for advance-care planning.With clear instructions from patients

not to pursue treatments like life supportand feeding tubes if there is no chanceof meaningful recovery, the health-caresystem stands to save money on patientswho plan ahead. But financial consider-ations are secondary to Chen.

“We can’t go into it thinking about thefinances first,” he said. “I’m not an adminis-trator, and I do recognize that there are fis-cal constraints in our system, but that’s notmy priority. My priority is to make sure

that every patient receives the bestcare based on their values andgoals.”

Having begun his own advance-care planning at age 38, the 44-year-old doctor said the process also paysoff in terms of greater self-under-standing long before health-careissues come into play.

“The first step of advance-careplanning is reflection and under-standing my own values and goalsand priorities,” he said. “To engagein that process means that I get tolearn about myself more deeply. Andthat’s the gift.”

Seniors discuss advance-care planning at a workshop in New Westminster. Doctors saysit’s important to plan for the kind of care needed at the end-of-life stage.

Seniors at this month’sworkshop found the samething. Clark said it’s a pro-cess of figuring out whather beliefs are and figuringout what physical or men-tal ailment would make itimpossible for her to wantto live life.

“If I lose a faculty, can Icompensate and still havea good quality of life, andwhich faculties would I bewilling to lose?” she said.“It’s really hard to figureout.”

Having a chance to dis-cuss such issues, especiallyamong fellow seniors anddoctors, was helpful, shesaid.

So far Chen hasreceived “overwhelminglypositive” feedback fromboth doctors and seniorsabout the workshop,which will serve as part ofhis work on a master’s ofeducation degree at SimonFraser University.

Making the workshopsa regular thing or add-

ing a Level 2 workshop,however, will require morefunding.

“If we’re able to proveto the purse-string holders

that there is cost effective-ness and good bang fortheir buck, this might berepeated,” Chen said.

I invite you to enjoy your smile again!Missing a Tooth?

Dr.MariannaKlimekMK Pontic Cantilever Bridge

with SplintThe ‘MK Pontic’ is a unique treatment optionused to replace a single missing tooth thatdoes not require reduction of the adjacentteeth.While not available for all cases it canoffer tooth replacement that is both costeffective and minimally invasive. It lasts foryears at a cost of only $500.

This is formed by a pontic (artificial tooth)attached to the crown on one side andsupported by a metal loop embedded in theadjacent tooth by the use of composite bonding.Only one of the teeth adjacent to the gap needsto be prepared for the crown. Those patients hadone congenitally missing tooth and the toothnext to the space needed a crown. The CantileverBridge with composite splint was conservativeand successful restoration.

Firefighters know all too wellhow burns can change someone’slife, so when a Burnaby firefighterwas given the chance to help vic-tims of these severe injuries, hejumped at it – and now he’s get-ting his whole family involved.

Tyler Bruce is a second-genera-tion firefighter with the BurnabyFire Department, following in thefootsteps of his father and uncle.

In 2008, the New Westminsternative was called to an apart-ment fire and when he arrived onscene, the first thing he saw was ayoung boy who had been severelyburned.

“I didn’t want to show anyemotions because we’re not real-ly supposed to show emotions,”Bruce said, thinking back to thatday nearly six years ago.

The incident left Bruce shakento his core. He said his emotionswere so strong he had to pull overto the side of the road on his wayhome from work that day.

“That’s when I thought of mykids and it was just the ‘What if?What if that was my kids?’ It defi-nitely hit home. I hugged my kidsfor probably 45 minutes when Igot home,” he recalled.

Bruce knew he had to dosomething to help kids who suffersevere second- and third-degreeburns, so he began volunteeringwith the B.C. Professional Fire

Fighters Association Burn Fund atits Young Burn Survivor Camp.

At the camp, Bruce recon-nected with the little boy he hadmet at the apartment fire and wasshocked to see how much of adifference the camp made in theyoung boy’s life.

“I have kids roughly the sameage as him, so it really affectedme that way. Just to see whathis family went through and howwithdrawn he was,” he said. “Theburn camp just brings him out liketenfold, it’s amazing to see the dif-ference, and I think it was reallyimportant for him.”

This experience has left a last-ing impression on Bruce. He nowvolunteers annually at the campand tries to help the associationas much as he can, so when hisaunt Betty approached him aboutdonating his uncle’s art collection,he knew exactly where she coulddonate it.

John Carr, Bruce’s uncle, wasa firefighter in Burnaby for manyyears and in his spare time he col-lected art, all kinds of art from oilpaintings to First Nations carvingsand paintings. When he died ofa heart attack in the late ‘90s, thecollection remained untouched.

“He accumulated a lot of artover the years, and my aunt,this year, decided she wanted todonate it, and she chose the burnfund because it’s a big part of meand she just wanted to help out,”Bruce said.

With the assistance of burnfund project director Erik Vogel,also a Burnaby firefighter, and theLangley Arts Council, John Carr’scollection was appraised and soonthe public will have a chance topurchase more than 1,000 pieces

when they officially go on sale onMay 28.

All proceeds will go towardraising the final $2 million neededto build the Burn Fund Centre inVancouver. The centre will pro-vide eight short-term stay units

for burn and trauma patients andtheir families. The centre will alsohouse a public education resourcecentre and retail space.

To view and buy pieces fromthe John Carr Collection visitwww.johncarrcollection.org.

Priceless: Tyler Bruce, right, convinced his aunt Betty, left, to donate a large portion of his lateuncle’s art collection for a fundraiser in support of the Burn Fund’s new facility in Vancouver. Thefacility will provide a home away from home for victims of severe burns and their families whileseeking treatment in the Lower Mainland.

Burnaby’s multi-tal-ented Heather Laura Grayis set to perform with theVancouver-based contem-porary dance company, TheResponse, in the world pre-mier of The Art of Stealing, atale of surviving in a post-apocalyptic world.

In the piece, Gray’s char-acter and her fictional olderbrother (Kevin Tookey) tryto make it through the dog-eat-dog world they findthemselves in afterthe world as theyknew it has come toan end.

Along the way,the pair meets upwith the rest oftheir gang of survivorsand together they fight andsupport each other in aneffort to endure.

Throughout the perfor-mance, the theme of whatpeople steal from eachother, figuratively and lit-erally, is explored.

“There are some twistsand turns that happenwith my character that area lot of fun,” Gray toldthe Burnaby NOW over thephone earlier this week asshe made her way home toBurnaby on the bus.

Gray said dancing inthis performance gives hera chance to focus on beingphysical in a way her otherwork as a choreographerdoesn’t.

“It is so much fun, I getto be a collaborator, but in adifferent way,” she said.

Gray has worked as achoreographer on commer-cials (recently for Crayola),and was one of the chore-ographers on the set of theVancouver-shot series TheKilling and the Canadian

film, Random Acts ofRomance.

Gray said being one ofsix dancers under the cho-reography and direction ofAmber Funk Barton was anopportunity to worry lessand move more.

But giving up con-trol over the process isn’talways easy.

“(It is) challenging to bemore focused as a danc-er and in my own bodyand not necessarily in mymind,” she said.

T h i r t y - s o m e t h i n gGray grew upin Burnaby andattended MorleyElementary andboth Moscrop andBurnaby Centralsecondary schools.

She later headed to bal-let school in Montreal andthen spent five years work-ing in Toronto. She is nowback living in Burnaby.

“Burnaby has been myjump-off point. I keep com-ing back to it,” she said.

She said the world por-trayed in The Art of Stealingis the exact opposite of thecommunity she got to be apart of growing up.

“The idea of having a lotof neighbours that I got tohave great times with andto build a community – thisis the complete opposite. Inthis world we are scared ofeveryone. It is as if Burnabywere completely desolateand we were just trying tofind food to survive.

“For me Burnaby is abeautiful, comfortableplace, and definitely thepiece is very much in a stateof anxiety and struggle.”

The Art of Stealing runsMay 28 to 31 at the FirehallArts Centre in Vancouver.See firehallartscentre.ca/event/the-art-of-stealing.

Ichose family medicinebecause I love stories– not fairy tales, fantasy

and fiction, but the narra-tives of everyday peopleliving their lives. Nothing ismore engaging or authen-tic.

Physicians are privilegedto listen to the personalstories of our patients, andwe are entrusted to becomea part of these stories aswe, understanding eachperson’s personal values,guide them in making themost appropriate choicesfor themselves.

At a recent strategicplanning session for theBurnaby Division of FamilyPractice, I invited all boardmembers to share their sto-ries. Why did they choosemedicine as a career? Whydid they choose familymedicine as a specialty?Why did they choose topractise in Burnaby, andwhy did they join theBurnaby Division of FamilyPractice?

Medicine chose mewhen in Grade 6, I wasadmitted to BurnabyHospital for inflammatoryarthritis and was moved bythe nurses and doctors whocared for me as a personand not just the disease. Iwanted to help others tocope with challenging anduncertain circumstancesand see and treat them aswhole people.

I chose Burnaby becausethis was my hometown.I went to ParkcrestElementary and Burnaby

North, played in most ofthe parks, learned to swimin the Kensington outdoorpool and spent count-less hours in the BurnabyPublic Library. To work inBurnaby was to give backto the community that hasgiven me so much more.

I chose to lead theBurnaby Division of FamilyPractice because thisnon-profit organization’spurpose resonated withmy personal calling. TheBurnaby Division’s missionis to engage, support andmobilize family physiciansin co-creating a networkthat will support the well-being of all members ofthe Burnaby community.At the heart of our mission– at the core of all that wedo – is the well-being ofevery patient.

Our organization andthe GP for Me initiativeask all family physicians toexpand their circle of care.As a group we are engagedin the care of everyone inour community, especiallythose who do not yet havea family physician and arenot receiving the care theyneed.

Our organization isinvolved in multiple initia-tives that will ultimatelyenhance access to primarycare, the health of our com-munity and the patient-doctor relationship.

On Monday, June 2,I’ll be speaking at theMetrotown branch of theBurnaby Public Libraryon The Patient-DoctorRelationship: making themost of each visit withyour family doctor. Formore information, call thelibrary at 604-436-5400 orregister online at www.bpl.bc.ca/events.

24 SFU Jr. player of year 24 Perfect finish to season 24 EDC drop first in PCSL

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

Joining the B.C. heptathlon eliteNina Schultz joined a celebrat-

ed list of remarkable Burnaby/New Westminster multi-eventsathletes.

The New WestminsterSecondary School junior becamethe fifth district female athlete since1980 to win the B.C. high schoolheptathlon title in Abbotsford lastweekend.

Schultz defeated three of lastyear’s runners-up in her provin-cial multi-events debut, recordingtwo wins and three other top-threefinishes in the two-day, seven-event competition.

The Grade 10 athlete openedwith a win in the 100-metre hur-dles – the first of three personalbests in the competition – in aquick time of 14.92, which wouldhave been a gold-medal time inthe individual race at the provin-cials last season.

She also won the long jumpto start Day 2 of the competitionwith a tremendous leap of 5.72m– another possible first-place jumpand best individual effort in thefield event since Sabrina Nettey’ssix-metre winning leap in 2008.

What was even more incrediblewas Schultz’s PB jump was half ametre farther than her previousbest.

On the opening day, Schultzfinished runner-up in the highjump at 1.59m, while placing thirdin both the shot put, at 9.51m, andthe 200m, in a time of 26.55.

Schultz finished in mid-pack inthe javelin and 800m on the finalday of the multi-events but stillmanaged to hold off last year’srunner-up, Robyn Buckinghamof Walnut Grove, by nearly 150points. She also defeated HannahBeaton of Langley Fundamentaland Monique Lisek of Maple Ridge– last year’s third- and fourth-place finishers, respectively.

Stephanie Cho of WinstonChurchill placed third in thisyear’s multi-event final with 4,342

total points.“For my first heptathlon, it was

pretty good. I was really happy

with my hurdles. In my highjump, I went out at 1.62m. I waspretty disappointed with 1.59m,”

said Schultz, who has a career leapof 1.75m in the high jump.

Schultz’s winning score of4,655 points was far off four-timeheptathlon champion GeorgiaEllenwood’s B.C. record 5,296numbers from last year.

But when put into perspective,Schultz’s aggregate total is amongthe best of any past multi-event’swinner.

Ellenwood won her first of fourtitles as a Grade 9 with a 4,661total.

G.P. Vanier’s three-time winnerfrom 2004 to ‘06, Katie Gallagher,scored a personal-best 4,554 in the2005 championships.

Burnaby Central’s AngelaAnoliefoh and Natalie Jacksonshared four titles between themfrom 1996 and 2000. Jackson’sbest 4,712 came in her senior year,while Anoliefoh won as a junior in1998, when she won with a 4,553total score.

Another Burnaby Central great,Charmaine Cotton, won back-to-back heptathlon titles 20 years agowith a best score of 4,179.

Perhaps the best of all BurWesthigh school heptathletes wasAllison Eades, who won four con-secutive titles from 1980 to ‘83,breaking her own provincial highschool record three times with aB.C.-best 5,156 aggregate in herfinal year.

That record did not last longhowever. D.W. Poppy’s Kelly AnnKempf set a new standard of 5,262in 1985, which stood up for nearlythree decades until Ellenwood’srecord-setting performance lastyear.

While Schultz fully intends onbecoming B.C. high school sportsninth multi combine-events win-ner, she has no plans to continuethe gruelling event into her post-secondary future.

“I’ll definitely do (the heptath-lon) in my high school years. Idon’t mind most of the events.… But personally, I don’t want topursue it, it’s such a tough event,”she said.

St. Thomas More sprinterZion Corrales-Nelson won a pairof bronze medals at the YouthOlympic Games Asian qualifyingtrack and field meet in Bangkok,Thailand last week.

The Grade 10 Burnaby phe-nom, running in her internationaldebut for the Philippines, placedthird in the women’s 400-metrerun and then settled for a sec-ond bronze in a photo finishin the 200m, matching runner-up Ge Manqui of China with

a 24.30 clocking at ThammasatUniversity Stadium in the Thaicapital on May 22.

“I think I did pretty well withthe heat,” said Corrales-Nelson ofher first truly international meet.“It was a little new to me. I triedto treat it like a meet back home,but it was a little scary. It was likepeople I didn’t know. I guess itwas nerves.”

Corrales-Nelson, a 15-year-old Filipino-Canadian, was thesole competitor representing thePhilippines at the Asian areaqualifier.

Nevertheless, Corrales-

Nelson’s personal-best time inthe 200m qualified her for theWorld Junior Championships tobe held in Oregon in July.

Last season, she ran a wind-aided 24.01 in the 200m.

Corrales-Nelson, who has run54-second 400m times in the past,needs to run a 55.16 or bettertime in the metric quarter-mileto qualify for the World YouthGames to be held in Nanjing,China in August.

With her results, Corrales-Nelson became the secondFilipino woman to qualify forOregon.

Sixteen-year-old Filipino-American Kayla Richardson willjoin Corrales-Nelson at the worldjuniors.

Corrales-Nelson will alsorepresent STM at the B.C. highschool provincial track and fieldchampionships in Langley thisweek, where she will competein three individual events and inthe relays.

“The provincials are a bigdeal,” she said. “It’s three daysand a lot of events. But I don’tmind. I think I’m used to it. Itdoesn’t bother me that much.”

Cockney Kings Fish & Chips is a local favourite for fish and chips, earning ravereviews and accolades over the years.

Six years ago, Daniel Turner, owner of the landmark Cockney Kings Fish & Chipsin NewWestminster, purchased the Burnaby restaurant. There, he continues thefour-decade long tradition of serving up the best fish and chips in town.

“The Burnaby store is where I got my start and where I managed until 1999 whenI purchased the NewWestminster restaurant,” adds Dan.

When asked what his secret to his success is, Dan says it’s the fresh fish and chipsand local seafood, as well as friendly and great customer service.

“There’s also a great vibe and energy here … a really nice little buzz whichcustomers themselves create,” says Dan, adding some of his staff at his firstlocation have been with him 14 years.

Cockney Kings has earned quite a reputation for serving generous pieces of freshfish in a batter that is light, almost fluffy and sinfully delicious.

In 1965, founder Len Evans opened the fish and chips restaurant and soonpeople were flocking in. Dan began working at the popular spot in 1985 whenhe was 11 years old. He started as a dishwasher and soon moved up the ladderuntil he purchased it.

However, the British-style eatery is renowned for much more than just fish andchips; they also offer Louisiana shrimp and chips, chicken fingers and otherdaily specials.

“We introduced fish tacos and Haddock and customers love them,”adds Dan.

The success is simply that: “We are a family run business and that extends to ourcustomers, they don’t just feel like our family… they are our family!”

Meanwhile, Dan strongly believes in giving back to the community which hasbeen so good to him. Whenever possible, they help out at local fundraisers andoften provide donations to nonprofit organizations.

The traditional English fish and chips eatery seats about 72 inside and is locatedat 6574 East Hastings St. in Burnaby. Drop by and taste for yourself why Burnabyresidents have voted Cockney Kings Fish & Chips the Best in Burnaby for over 15years. For more information, call 604-291-1323 or visit www.cockneykings.ca.
