ArtsadvocatesuptobatagainFor decades, artists in Burnaby have been

pushing for a new art gallery, without muchsuccess.

Now, the Burnaby Arts Council is hop-ing to resurrect the issue one more time inhopes of finally getting a new home for artin the city.

The council is hosting a public forum to

discuss a new public art gallery for Burnaby.The forum is scheduled for Nov. 3, at

7:30 p.m., Room 103 at the Shadbolt Cen-tre for the Arts.

BillThompson, chair of the arts coun-cil, suggested the current gallery located inCeperley House at Deer Lake has reacheda point where it can’t accommodate largeshows.

The gallery has been housed at DeerLake since the late ’60s, and he noted the

population of the city has grown immenselysince that time.

“There’s a real need and the time isright,”Thompson told the NOW.

“The city is going through a lot of chang-es. …This is great opportunity to make astatement on how the city believes in cul-ture, it’s a creative city and how it needs togo forward and support its arts communi-ty.”

He also pointed out the current gallery

can’t hold or store the city’s vast art collec-tion of 5,000-plus art works on paper fromnoted artists including RobertYoung, Syb-il Andrews, Gordon Smith and Jack Shad-bolt.

It’s a similar sentiment echoed by DavidHandelman, another member of the artscouncil.

He said he has a great respect for the

About 32 years ago, ayoung Burnaby residenthad an encounter with aMountie that changed herlife forever.

Sandy Labinsky wasabout 10 or 11 years oldwhen she was followedhome by a suspicious manin a car. He first caught hereye when he slowed downto pass her as she walkedsouth on Buller Avenue.When he circled the blockto pass her a second time,she knew something waswrong. She headed downthe alley between Ewartand Carson streets, but thedriver followed, blockingthe gate to her backyard.So Labinsky ran for it. Shemanaged to slip by the car,get through the gate intoher backyard and up theback steps into her home.

Labinsky told her moth-er what happened, andtogether they called theBurnaby RCMP.

More than three decadeslater, Labinsky can still pic-ture the officer who ar-rived on her doorstep thatafternoon. He was tall,lean but strong and “ut-terly professional in everymanner.” He spoke to herlike an adult, rather thana child he had to tolerate.He asked questions to testher observation skills, andhe was impressed when shenearly guessed his age – 29.

“It seemed like he real-ly cared to actually talk tome, like I was capable ofanswering his questions,which I really appreciated,”Labinsky said. “It was justone of those encountersthat you just think, ‘Well

that’s a really cool thingbeing a police officer.’”

Today, Labinsky is a po-lice sergeant for the Cityof Henderson Police De-partment in Nevada, a cityslightly larger than Burn-aby with a population ofmore than 270,000. Shehas been with the depart-ment for about 14 years.

Every now and then,the memory of the kindMountie pops into Labin-sky’s head. She said she hasthought of trying to findhim before, but it wasn’tuntil a discussion about in-fluential people at a recentleadership course that shefinally decided to try andtrack down the officer whohad made such an impacton her life and career path.

So, Labinsky sent a let-ter to the Burnaby RCMPexplaining the incident in1983/84 and the way inwhich it helped steer hertowards a career in polic-ing.

“I don’t sit still well, soto have a job where it’scontinuously different allthe time and you neverknow what your day is go-ing to be like, that is my fa-vourite aspect of (polic-ing),” Labinsky told theNOW.

When Labinsky wasworking as a training of-ficer in Henderson, shewould often share her storyabout the Burnaby Mount-ie. She would tell the re-cruits about his profession-alism and overall presencethat left her in awe.

“He just had this phys-ical presence that wasjust different than a regu-lar person.When we talkabout officers having com-mand presence or physi-

cal presence, he definite-ly had that going on, and itmight have been a little bitthe fact that I was 10 or 11years old, but he was very,very impressive to me,” shesaid.

While Labinsky ad-mits it’s unlikely the offi-cer remembers her, she still

wants to track him down ifonly to say thank you.

“I thought it would becool just for him to knowthat that was somethingthat I definitely remem-bered and it made a hugeimpression on me,” shesaid.

Labinsky suspects the of-ficer is in his early 60s now,possibly retired, but be-cause she doesn’t have aname, it’s difficult for eventhe Burnaby RCMP tospeculate on who he couldbe or if he even retiredfrom the Burnaby RCMP

or was transferred to an-other RCMP detachment.

Whether she finds theMountie or not, Labin-sky was glad she finallyreached out to the Burna-by RCMP.

“Even if he can’t befound, I thought this wasa nice reminder for all thepeople there that what youdo is important, and ev-ery time you’re talkingto somebody it could besomething that has a longreaching effect,” she added.

Whoaretheanti-pipelineadvocatesbacking?Lynne Quarmby,who was arrested in anti-pipeline protest, looks like she’s being left out in the [email protected]

Anti-pipeline advocatesare lining up behind theNDP’s Carol Baird Ellan inBurnaby North-Seymour,leaving Green candidateLynne Quarmby out in thecold in the city’s hotly con-

tested riding.Key activists Sven Biggs

and BenWest are backingthe New Democrats despiteNDP leaderThomas Mul-cair’s non-committal stancefor or against the pipeline, adefining issue for the riding.Meanwhile, Quarmby, whowas arrested in anti-pipeline

protests last fall and suedby oil giant Kinder Mor-gan, has staked much ofher campaign opposing thepipeline expansion.

“I am disappointed anda bit perplexed. I am clear-ly the strongest anti-pipe-line candidate in this riding– by a long shot,” Quarm-

by told the NOW. “(NewDemocrats) have candidatesin Alberta saying, essential-ly, ‘Don’t worry, the pipe-line will go through,’ whilecandidates here say the op-posite. One can only guesshow Mulcair will instructhis MPs to vote when thetime comes.”

Mulcair has stoppedshort of picking sides on theKinder Morgan debate, in-stead criticizing the approv-al process, which is goodenough for Biggs.

“A fair process that in-cludes a climate test and re-ally listens to the concernsof impacted communities

like Burnaby is the first stepto resolving Canada’s pipe-line debate,” Biggs said.

Biggs is volunteeringon Baird Ellan’s BurnabyNorth-Seymour campaignon behalf of a group calledForce of Nature Alliance,which is endorsing six

Joining BlockWatch hasits benefits, according to theRCMP.

present gallery but suggest-ed people in the communityhave felt the City of Burna-by could have a better gal-lery.

The forum will includebrief presentations from apanel that includes mem-bers of the arts and educa-tion community. Panelistsare expected to share theirvisions for a new gallery andhow a new facility wouldprovide benefits to the com-munity.The second half ofthe forum is reserved forthe comments of audiencemembers who will be en-

couraged to share their vi-sion for a new gallery.

The members of the artscouncil said at this pointthere are no limits on thelocation, scope or cost of aproposed art gallery.

“We’d just like see whatpeople have to say,” Handel-man said.

Meanwhile,Thompson ishoping for a good turnoutfrom the public to demon-strate the support for a newgallery, noting some citycouncillors and city staff arealso expected to be in atten-dance.

Following the meeting,

he’s also hoping the city willlook at funding a strategicplan as part of a first phase.

The issue of a new galleryhas been going on since theearly 1970s, when a new artgallery was a priority andplans were made up.

In 1987, a proposed artgallery and performing artstheatre in civic square werepart of the original plans be-side the Bob Prittie library.Then in 1998, there was an-other plan for an art galleryexpansion, and a feasibilitystudy was completed, alongwith public support.

candidates in the region.Biggs holds nothing againstthe Greens; he just doesn’tthink Quarmby can win.

The party that forms cab-inet will decide if the Kind-er Morgan pipeline goesahead, and the likelihoodof that happening for theGreens is remote at best.

West, who sits on theForce of Nature board, saidthe Burnaby riding is partic-

ularly tricky but he’s backingBaird Ellan.

“(She) probably has thebest chance of beating theConservatives in that riding,but I got to say I find thiselection pretty stressful. Ihave a lot of love for Lynne,and as a former Green orga-nizer, I definitely don’t takeit lightly to overlook Greencandidates,” he said, addingvote splitting is a concern.

Baird Ellan is happy to re-

ceive support from the anti-pipeline crowd.

“The position of the NDPis the Kinder Morgan appli-cation will not proceed,” shesaid. According to Baird El-lan, the NDP would quashcabinet’s power to ultimatelydecide that fate of pipelines,something the Conservativebrought in, allowing themto override the National En-ergy Board’s recommenda-tion.

‘The last of its kind’ inhousing faces the axeQuaint, affordable single-family homes will bedemolished if landlord proceeds with [email protected]

Paul Paydafar and Eliz-abeth Scorse have beenneighbours for the last twoyears.

Living side-by-side insmall but quaint, one-bed-room family homes in theFair Haven United Churchcottages on Rumble Street,the two are more thanthrilled with their accom-modations.

Paydafar, 57, moved intothe Burnaby low-incomeunit two years ago and hasfound the peace he’s neededto deal with medical issues.

“The minute I saw thisplace, I knew it was for me,”he told the NOW.

Scorse, at the age of 86, isstill independent and oftentends to her garden outsidethe front door.

“It’s like a little house inthe country,” she said.

But the two could findthemselves out of theirhomes by 2017 if plans bythe landlord go through.

The cottages are ownedby Fair Haven UnitedChurch Homes, a faith-based non-profit group thatprovides affordable housingfor seniors in Burnaby andVancouver.

Residents living in thecottages have been advisedthe houses will be redevel-oped and to look for an al-

ternative place to live duringthe construction.

But for Paydafar, he’s notinterested in moving and isinstead hoping the organi-zation will reconsider theplans.

He currently pays $543 amonth rent, and since he’snot currently working, hesaid he can’t afford markethousing.

The organization has of-fered him a spot in a multi-unit building right besidethe cottages, but he’s con-cerned about the noise fromtenants and the expectedconstruction.

He said he also can’t af-ford the $900 cost for themarket rental rate.

“I’m really angry and up-set,” he said, also addingwhen he got into the cottagetwo years ago, he was nev-er told of the redevelopmentplans. “This is a very diffi-cult situation for me.”

Scorse is also hoping theorganization will change itsmind and is waiting to seewhat they’ll do before mak-ing a decision. However, shetoo suggested she couldn’tafford the market prices for

a place to live.Paydafar and Scorse re-

cently gave the NOW atour of their homes, whichappear to be well main-tained and in good shape.They can’t understand whythe cottages would be torndown.

“This is the last of itskind, you won’t see any-thing like this again,” Payda-far said.

But beyond the rent, thetwo talk about the relation-ships between all the neigh-bours.

For instance, when Scorsebroke her hip earlier in theyear, it was a neighbour whocalled 911 for help.

“I hope Fair Haven willleave the cottages stand-ing.They are the best placeavailable in my mind for se-niors,” she said.

In response, Fair Haven’sCEO Carol Mothersill ex-plained the cottages are be-yond their useful life cycleand need to be replaced.

“We know we have to dosomething with those cot-tages.They’re lovely andcute and everybody lovesthem, but they were built in1949,” she said.

Mothersill explained theorganization is exploring thepotential redevelopment ofthe cottages in order to pro-vide better and more afford-able housing options.

The Lower Mainland’smayors, bless their hearts,are making another go ofraising money for moreTransLink infrastructure.

This time, they’re look-ing into road pricing, a sys-tem of tolls based on dis-tance driven, or on bridgeor highway use.

ButTransLink’s new-ly appointed governmentmaster, Peter Fassbender,says that too will have to

win the support of votersin yet anotherTransLinkreferendum.

Let’s not go down thisroad again.

That another referen-dum would fail is a given.The first one never had afaint hope of passing, de-spite a stupid amount ofmoney being spent to pro-mote theYes vote. It was anexpensive, time-consum-ing mess.

Fewer than half of theballots were returned anda clear majority of thosewere marked No. Eventhose who agreed we needbetter transit infrastruc-ture proudly voted No be-cause they wanted to “senda message” about their dis-satisfaction with how thegovernment allowsTrans-Link to operate without ac-countability.

And the mayors chose a

0.5 per cent sales tax thefirst time around becausetheir research told themthat’s what had the bestchance of passing. Roadpricing is far more compli-cated and harder to sell.

You’ve got to admire thesteely resolve our govern-ment has shown to main-tain the status quo, eventhough the status quo isworking to the satisfactionof pretty much no one.

It’s time to read betweenthe lines to see what Fass-bender is really saying:Transit service is as goodas it’s going to get in theLower Mainland,Trans-Link is as transparent andaccountable as it’s going tobe, and, until there’s a newgovernment inVictoria,don’t expect either of thosethings to change.

Axe the aphid infestation

Liberalsstandtogainground

Whatever the outcome ofthe Oct. 19 federal election,it seems likely the party thatwill see the greatest growthin votes and seats will be theLiberal Party of Canada.

It may not form govern-ment, but it appears theLiberals may regain a lot ofground that it used to own.And there’s a good chanceit may win back some of itsturf in B.C.

The Liberals went intothis election with just thetwo B.C. seats that it won in2011, but a number of polit-ical observers have suggest-ed it would be wise to rejectthe 2011 election as typi-cal of anything. Public opin-ion about the main partiesappears to be returning tohistorical levels, which willbenefit the Liberals morethan any other party.

In fact, the six electionsbefore the 2011 vote elect-ed, on average, six LiberalMPs in B.C. (a high of ninein 2006).The ’80s were bar-ren years for the party in thisprovince as it held just oneseat for almost 15 years.

I noted in this column lastweek that the NDP’s popu-larity was sliding and that itsleaderTom Mulcair had hiswork cut out for him. I’veseen nothing since then tosuggest he has been notablysuccessful.

Ironically, a key part ofthe NDP’s strategic mes-sage – that it and it alonewas best positioned to de-feat the Harper government– may be coming back tohaunt the party. The under-lying theme of that messagewas that voters had to flockto whoever had the best

chance of beating the Con-servatives. If people are buy-ing into that message, it’sreasonable to assume thatthey are headed the Liber-als’ way more so than theNDP.

So how can this play outin B.C.? If we go back a fewyears, we can see the Lib-erals used to routinely winseats in Richmond, theNorth Shore, SouthVan-couver, Surrey andVicto-ria.We can forgetVicto-ria – the party’s candidatedropped out of the race –but the other cities have rid-ings where the Liberals haveto be given pretty good oddsof winning. If they do, theywill pick up seats at the ex-pense of the Conservatives(although the NDP’s hopesof winning two new ridings–Vancouver Granville andBurnaby North-Seymour –may be dashed if a Liber-al freight train does indeedmaterialize).

While it’s far from certainthat the party will return tothe heady days of seven tonine seats, it’s logical to sug-gest they are going to winmore than their current al-lotment of two B.C. ridings.

Of course, things are veryunlikely to return to the Lib-eral party’s golden days inthe modern era of this prov-ince.That would be 1968, ofcourse, when the party won16 of the province’s 23 rid-ings.Things have changed alot since then. But one thinghasn’t: in that year the partywas led by someone namedTrudeau. Just like this timearound.Keith Baldrey is chief politi-

cal reporter for Global B.C.

North Burnaby residents fed up with a plague ofaphids lobbied city council to axe about 82 tulip trees.About 70 per cent of residents between the 4500 and4800 blocks of Pender Street supported the replacementof the trees, according to an informal poll conducted byone resident who took the issue to city hall. Aphids pro-duce a sap-like honeydew that sticks to fences, car exte-riors and people’s shoes and is difficult to wash off.

Letters to the editor and opinioncolumns may be reproduced on the Burnaby NOW website, www.burnabynow.com.

No easy answers forHastings StreetDear Editor In thenearly 20 years since theHOV laneswere installedonHastings, this isthird for sure, andpossibly the fourth, letterto the editor I havewritten about attempts tochange this primary east-west corridor.Well, of course theworld has changed, so

revisitingwhat hasworkedbefore always hasmerit, and some ideas in the study shouldbeconsidered, but a full public debate is neededfirst. Yet, the study is sonarrow in its perspec-tive that it virtually ignores thatHastings is acorepart of regional roadandbusnetwork,especially the vital transit connection fromdowntown toSFUonBurnabyMountain.Most important, the study admits the road

noise is not fromcars, but primarily from thevast numbers of transit buses that run in thecurb laneduringpeak times. Sodoes slowingthe street downalsomean slowingdown thetransit buses so that riders consider alterna-tives like gettingback in their cars. Thiswillcertainlymeanmore cars running through theadjoiningneighbourhoods,which the city hasworkedhard to reduce through various trafficcalmingmeasures. In short, doing anythingthat reduces transit bus priority is just counter-productive. Andkudos to city engineerDougLouie for recognizing full consultations areneeded, and thismust happenwell beyondtheHastings landowners and tenants.Plus, fewcommunities inB.C. have received

millions of dollars’worth of land for free toprovide theHasting’s off-street parking lots,which is available all the time,while theHOVimpact on the local businesses ismostly dur-ingweekday afternoons. All thosenewcondosalongHastings alreadybenefit from those ad-ditional nearby free, and I stress, free parkinglotswhich the study says shouldbe convertedtopayparking.

Don’t play politicswith our hospitalDear Editor SponsoredbyVoice of BurnabySeniors, the Sept. 28 all-candidatesmeetingwasattendedbyabout 60of us seniors. Predictably,theConservative candidatewas conspicuousbyhis absence.However, the four attendingcandidates –Green, Liberal,Marxist Leninist,andNewDemocratic – didn’t seem tomindthatwhat’s-his-namewasn’t there todefendhisparty’s honour.For themost part, thedebatewas fairly high-

mindedand respectful, although theGreenandLiberal candidates hadabit of a goat theNDPcandidate. But the audience seemeddeter-minednot to take sides andpolitely applaudedin equalmeasure for all. Itwas a rather pleasantkindofmeeting.That is, until theGreenParty decided to inject

amoment of “gotcha” theatrics. LynneQuarmbyheldupaphotoof twowomanwearing aT-shirtwith thewords “I loveoil sands”. She statedoneof themwasanNDPcandidate anddeclared thiswaswhy voters couldnot trust theNDPon thequestionof theKinderMorganpipeline expan-sion. But, as I foundout thenext day, allwas notas itmayhave seemed.The candidate in question isMelody Lapine,

running in the FortMcMurray-Cold Lake riding,right smack-dab in themiddle of theoil sands.Ms. Lapine is amember of theMiskewCree FirstNations and, in accordancewith her communi-ty’s decision, for the last 12 years hasbeenwork-ing to ensure theMiskewCreepeople benefitfromoil sandsminingof their traditional lands.That decisionwould seem to reflect the intent

of GreenParty policy: “Wewill work…toensure

that the responsible development of Canada’snaturalwealth benefits all Canadians, begin-ningwith the consent of thepeoples onwhosetraditional territories they exist.”Although theobjective of flashing thephotoat

anall-candidatesmeetingwas to embarrass theNDP, it seems tome that theGreens shouldbeembarrassed instead.Most certainly it doesn’tbodewell for future relationswith First Nations.Bill BrassingtonSr., Burnaby

‘Be proud to letyour orange glow’Dear Editor Thank you, Burnaby. At first Iwasscepticalwhen theCons gerrymandered thenew ridingof BurnabyNorth – Seymour, until Icame to realize theBurnabyNorth has consis-tently votedNDP. Thismeans that theyhavealways cared for their neighbours, appreci-ated and tried toprotect their environment,empowered their children and colleagues andbuilt a close community which is accepting andinclusive.Inmywell over 40 years of voting, I havebeen

a Liberal. In theolddays, therewasnotmuchdifference, but I havebeen so embarrassedbyour government’s andour actionsworldwidesince theprivileged Liberals got caught in thesponsorship scandal. Evenafter that, for a shorttime, I tried tobelieve that thenewyoungercandidatesmight save them.Not so.Conservativemeasures inmedicine and

health care usuallymeans status quoandatleast “donoharm.”Themagic occurswith the innovators, the

creativemindsof scientists basedonprovenscientific principles. This is particularly truewith

the resilienceof thepediatric population – thechildren –our future. TheCons’majority hasdonealmost irreparable harmduring this “lost”decade.Don’t be embarrassed tobeCanadian

anymore – even theCons are so embarrassedof their record, theydon’t showupat all-candi-datesmeetings. First priority is to get rid of theCons, butwemust join together as a communityin our voting this timeand choosewisely. Beproud to let your orange glow!Vote optimisticallyNDP for the future of your

dreams–and take your neighbours and col-leagueswith you!WendyEves,Burnaby

Let’s talk aboutCanadian valuesDear Editor Twenty years agomy then-teen-ageddaughter and I toured theUnitedNationsheadquarters inGeneva. The guide talkedabouttheworkof theUN thenaskedwhat countriescontributed themost financially to itswork.She gaveus the answer: the Scandinavian

That little boy couldhavebeen safe inCanada if Canada’sMinistry of Citizenship andImmigrationhadnot rejected anapplicationtoprivately sponsor this family “owing to thecomplexities involved in refugee applicationsfromTurkey.”Is thatwhat Canadahasbecome?

The race in BurnabyNorth-Seymour is as tightas ever with aggregate pollsshowing the Liberals takinga slight lead in projectionsfor the local riding. Butwhere do the candidatesstand on the issues?

The Heights Neighbour-hood Association host-ed an all-candidates meet-ing onThursday, Oct. 8, forthe Burnaby North-Sey-mour riding. In attendancewere Green Lynne Quarm-by, LiberalTerry Beech andNew Democrat Carol BairdEllan. Only ConservativeMike Little was absent.

About 60 people attend-ed, raising a variety of is-sues. Here’s an abridgedversion of how the candi-dates responded.

BILLC-51Beech was left to fend for

the Liberal party’s position,in which they voted in fa-vour of the controversial bill,while proposing amend-ments to the part that crimi-nalizes protests. Baird Ellanused bill C-51 as leverageto criticize the Liberals andsaid the NDP would repealthe bill, as there was noth-ing worth saving. Speak-ing on behalf of the Greens,Quarmby said anythingfrom Bill C-51 that Cana-da actually needs could bebrought forward in a newbill.

KINDERMORGANPIPELINE EXPANSION

Quarmby held a clearstance against the pipeline,stating she is “unambigu-ously” opposed to the ex-pansion.

Baird Ellan’s stance onKinder Morgan has been

the same as the party’s,mainly that the approvalprocess is flawed, and theNDP would restore the pro-cess, but in the meeting, shesaid, the pipeline has to bestopped.

For more details on BairdEllan’s and Beech’s stance,see the candidate profiles onpage 11.

HOWWILLYOUMAKETHINGS EASIER FORYOUNGPEOPLE,STRUGGLINGWITHTHECOSTOF LIVING,ESPECIALLYHOUSING?

Quarmby called for an af-fordable housing strategyand brought up the fact thatBurnaby has no shelter. Shealso wants to restore fund-ing for co-op housing andimprove housing for FirstNations.

Baird Ellan said the NDPwould extend the licensingagreements for co-op hous-ing and called for $15 perday national child care.

Beech responded by say-ing much of the NDP plat-form was a mirage, and that$15-per-day child-care planrelies on contributions fromthe provinces, which haven’tcommitted anything. Mean-while, the Liberals plan oninvesting $20 billion in so-cial infrastructure, includingaffordable housing, whileincreasing the GST rebateto 100 per cent to incentiv-ize developers to build morehousing.

ONYOURCHANCESOFGETTING ELECTEDANDKEEPINGTHETORYCANDIDATEOUT

Baird Ellan said her partywould bring in true propor-tional representation, andsaid the NDP and Con-servatives are neck in neckin the polls. (At press time,

current aggregate polls, likethe Toronto Star’s Signal andThreeHundredEight ac-tually show the Liberals inthe lead and the NDP inthird.) According to Beech,if you transpose past elec-tion results on the new rid-ing, what is now known asBurnaby North-Seymourhas always gone to the Lib-erals or the Conservatives –never the NDP. (Earlier inthe evening, Beech statedthe Liberals would ditch thecurrent first-past-the-postsystem.) He implored theaudience to vote for theirown person, and “to heckwith the polls.” Quarmby, avictim of vote-splitting fears,said the “orange crush” hasbecome the “orange crash,”referring to the NDP’s de-cline in national polls. Asfor strategic voting, she pro-posed voting for the can-didate that best representsone’s values.

ALTERNATIVE ENERGYQuarmby would halt sub-

sidies for the fossil fuel in-dustry, and there would beno new bitumen pipelinesunder the Greens’ watch.Baird Ellan said the NDP

has targets for greenhousegas emissions, and she tooka swipe at Stephen Harper,claiming he doesn’t believein climate change. Beechsaid the Liberals would alsoend subsidies to the fossilfuel industry and put a priceon carbon.

THE ECONOMYQuarmby’s plan to stimu-

late the economy is to hirean army of tradespeople toretrofit buildings and makethem more energy efficient.Baird Ellan talked of theNDP’s plan to raise the cor-porate income tax rate andprovide incentives for inno-vation in the manufacturingsector. Beech said Canadaneeds jobs today, and point-ed to the Liberals plan for ahistoric investment in infra-structure.

meeting for Burnaby North-Seymour is onThursday,Oct. 15, but you’ll have tocross the bridge to get there,as it’s at Mount SeymourUnited Church, at 1200Parkgate Ave. in NorthVan-couver.

As the federal electioncampaign rolls into the finalstages, new issues pop upon a weekly basis that grabthe headlines and some-times the attention of voters.

And last week, it wasnews that 12 countries,including Canada, haveagreed to major free tradeagreement called theTrans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).

The Canadian govern-ment has described theTPPas the largest free trade ini-tiative in history that willgive Canada access growingAsia Pacific markets.

Some of the other eco-nomic heavyweights in thedeal include the U.S. andJapan.

While the leaders of allthe federal parties werequick to weigh in on thetrade deal, the NOWreached out to the four lo-cal candidates in BurnabySouth for their thoughts ontheTPP.

Liberal candidate AdamPankratz said his party isgenerally supportive offree trade, adding the dealsare good for the Canadianeconomy and for business-es to have access to foreignmarkets.

However, he said he’d like

to see more details aboutthe agreement before offer-ing support or not for theTPP.

“We don’t know exact-ly what’s in that deal,” Pan-kratz said. “We’re a partythat is pro free trade, alwayshas been and supports it, Ithink the Conservatives’ se-crecy doesn’t allow us toknow what’s in the agree-ment and that’s problem-atic.”

Conservative candidateGrace Seear is all for theTPP suggesting it will cre-ate jobs and grow every sec-tor of the economy throughaccess to world markets.

She also argued theTPP

will have an impact forB.C., noting the deal re-moves tariffs on exportsfrom iron, aluminum, andsteel to shrimp, blueberries,salmon and even ice wine.

“It’s very exciting,” Seearsaid of the trade agreement.

NDP candidate KennedyStewart said his party’s tra-ditional stance is to wait tosee the details.

He noted the NDP vot-ed with the Conservatives insupport of the Canada-Ko-rea FreeTrade Agreement,but he also expressed someconcern with theTPP overagriculture and Internet pri-vacy.

“The thing we (NDP)don’t do is we don’t signbad deals,” Stewart said.“We have to take a longlook at the text.”

While some news head-lines have suggested NDPleaderTom Mulcair has op-posed the deal, the riding’sincumbent insisted the lead-er’s response has been morenuanced.

WyattTessari, the Green

candidate for BurnabySouth, said his party isn’topposed to free trade, buthe suggested there is a prob-lem with what he called “in-vestor state clauses” that al-low foreign companies tosue Canada and taxpayersfor laws in place that impactthe company.

“I don’t see why it’s fairfor taxpayers to be on thehook for whatever compa-nies feel they’ve lost theirprofits on,” he said.

Tessari said he’s alsoconcerned theTPP bindscountries to higher phar-maceutical costs, whichhe suggested could impactpoorer countries.

Make no mistake. Burna-by North Seymour is the lo-cal riding to watch on Oct.19. It’s a new riding, with allnew, very strong candidates,and if the current polls are

a reliable indication of howvoters are leaning, it willbe a tight race between theLiberals and the Conserva-tives, with the NDP closebehind and the Greens trail-

ing.The riding is also hometo the Kinder Morgan pipe-line terminus, a hot issuethat’s attracted protests,where more than 100 peo-ple were arrested last fall,

including Green candidateLynne Quarmby.

A long weekend can bea significant game-chang-er during an election period,and we’ve seen the Liberals

pull ahead ever so slightly,but whether they can keeptheir momentum going re-mains to be seen.Whatwould a Liberal or Conser-vative win mean for the rid-

It’s the shoes that stick inYunuen PerezVertti’s mind.

Looking back at last year’sinaugural Living Room Artin the Heights event, thatimage sticks in her mind:seeing the shoes piled allover the deck at the homehosting the night of drop-in public art. It was a visualtestament to how many peo-ple had turned out for thefirst-ever event – whereVert-ti had expected 50 or maybe100, there were at least 250people who turned out toenjoy the evening.

“I had no idea what to ex-pect,” she says. “It could re-ally have gone anywhere.”

Vertti had been in Burn-aby about a year when shegot the idea to start up lastyear’s event. She reached

out to the community andfound an enthusiastic re-sponse, as performing andvisual artists from all disci-plines pooled their talents tocreate an interactive eveningof art in a private home.

What she learned, shesays, is what she already sus-pected: “This community isreally passionate about com-munity stuff, and they likenew events and new oppor-tunities to get together andlearn about each other.”

So she and fellow art-ists have joined forces onceagain for the second event,this one set for Saturday,Oct. 17 from 5 to 9 p.m.in a private home at 4155Trinity St.

The night’s program in-cludes offerings from bothreturning and new artists.

Storyteller Philomena Jor-dan and harpistTara Bon-ham are both back, and thisyear they’re collaborating

on a new work. Filmmak-ers Ciaran Davis-McGregorandVertti herself will also bepart of the evening, as willphotographers GrantWith-ers, CourtneyTran and Car-olyn Sullivan. Several visu-al artists will also take part:Patricia Haley-Tsui, DinoPai, Beatrix Schalk, Jo AnnSheen, Michelle Sound andBillThomson, as well as theGamma Garage group ofPat Sexsmith, Sheila Chow-dhury,Wilma Cook and Di-anneYard.

This year, organizers arealso including young talent,as students from ArtSpaceand Staccato Music Studioswill be part of the fun.

And one of the highlightsof the night is bound to bethe audience participation:there’s a “SelfieTree,” wherepeople can use old CDs,find their reflection and thenuse Sharpie markers to drawtheir own selfies and addthem to an installation.

“Selfie is such a thingnow.These days, every-one takes a selfie,”Verttisays. “Instead of take a self-ie, we’re going to say,makea selfie.”

The evening will alsowind up with an open mikesession at 8:30 p.m., so any-one wanting to share theirown art – whether it’s po-etry, singing, dancing orsomething else – is welcometo do so at that time. Peo-ple interested in checking itout can drop in anytime be-tween 5 and 9 p.m.

“Just show up,”Vert-ti says. “You can stay therefor 10 minutes, you can stayfor the four hours.You cancome and go anytime youlike.”

As with last year’s event,there’s no charge to attend,and no tickets are need-ed.The cost of producingthe event is being coveredby a Neighbourhood SmallGrant from theVancouverFoundation, and local mer-chants are also donatingfood and refreshments.

Don’t let the new nameand location fool you -Lloyd Hearing Solutions hasbeen serving the Burnabycommunity for 45 years.

The company, formallyoperating as Sears Hear-ing Center, was started byDavid Lloyd. The company

grew to become a family affair as Robert and StuartLloyd, David’s sons, joined the practice is 1986 and 1993respectively.

“While we enjoyed a good working relationship withSears, it was time for a change. As an independentoperator, we now have the freedom to make necessaryupgrades and provide unparalleled top-quality care toeach and every customer,” explains Stuart Lloyd, ownerand primary operator of Lloyd Hearing Solutions.“Whenmy father started the hearing clinic over 45 years ago,he built our family business on integrity, trust and profes-sionalism. I am proud to say that those values have beenmaintained when caring for clients today.”

Lead by Stuart Lloyd, we are just past our two year an-niversary of opening Lloyd Hearing Solutions at our newlocation #205 - 5066 Kingsway, Burnaby. Stuart said thatwhat has been especially great is the support that LloydHearing Solutions has received from their loyal customers– just another testimonial to the fact that Lloyd HearingSolutions provides great service.

“I take the time to get know each client and make surethat I am providing the highest standard of individualizedcare,” says Stuart.“It’s important to educate customers aswell, because each person is unique and personal prefer-ences play a big part. Hearing loss is like a fingerprint, notwo are the same! It’s like when you buy a set of speak-ers, not everyone prefers the same brand - same thingfor hearing aids.What sounds good for one person mightnot sound good for the next, so it’s important to educatecustomers how to tell us what sounds good and is com-fortable for them.”

If you or someone you know suffers fromhearing loss, call Lloyd Hearing Solutionstoday and book an appointment.

What do I need to know nowthat flu season is upon us?

(Part 1 of a Series on Flu)The flu is a respiratory infection thatcan be caused by a variety of influenzaviruses. In North America, it usually strikesbetween November and April. Up to

25% of the population may be infected in an aver-age year. Stronger epidemics (infecting twice asmany people) come every 2-3 years. Most peoplerecover within 1 to 2 weeks, but some people maydevelop complications such as pneumonia. Onaverage, about 4,000 to 8,000 Canadians die an-

nually from complications, and about 20,000 people with the flu are hospitalized.Most of these people have other medical conditions, are seniors, or are veryyoung children.Influenza is contagious, and spreads mainly by respiratory droplets madeairborne when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Other people inhale theairborne virus and can become infected. In some cases, it can be spread whensomeone touches a surface (e.g., doorknobs, countertops, telephones) that hasthe virus on it and then touches their nose, mouth, or eyes. Flu also spreads easilyin crowded places (e.g., schools and offices).The flu takes 1-4 days to incubate, but infected people become contagiousbefore symptoms appear, often a day after the virus enters the body. Adults canspread the virus to others for about 6 days, and children for up to 10 days.Most people can protect themselves from the flu through the flu vaccine, whichis available at no charge for eligible BC residents – come see us at the phar-macy for details and to book your appointment.

ASK A DENTISTThere are so many differenttoothbrushes on the markettoday. How do I know whichone is the right one for me?

Walk down the dental product isle in any drug-store, pharmacy or supermarket and the choicescan be overwhelming. There are a multitude ofbrands, sizes, colors, as well as manual and elec-

tric brushes to choose from. The particular brand you chooseis not as important as the bristle strength and size of head.If you read the label it should list the bristle strength which canvary from extra soft, soft, medium to hard. Our office alwaysrecommends soft bristles as we feel they are more gentle on

the gums and less likely to cause any possible damage to tooth enamel. The next consideration isthe size of the brush head. Many people think that a large head means that they will be able to doa better job of cleaning their teeth. In fact our mouths, especially in the very back, have very limitedaccess. For this reason we recommend a small brush head that allows you to reach around the backof the molars and all other areas.Electric tooth brushes have been around for over 40 years. There are many economical styles thatprovide exceptional cleaning ability. Almost all will come with the above mentioned soft bristle,small brush head. One of the biggest advantages to using an electric brush is that it prevents the‘scrubbing’ pattern that so many people use that causes damage to the gums and enamel. Ratherthan the patient doing the work you simply guide the brush gently along the gum and tooth surfaceallowing the brush to spin or vibrate to gently remove plaque and debris from your teeth. We havenoticed excellent results for many of our patients who have made the change to an electric brush.One last thought on toothbrushes:-change it often approximately every 1 – 3 months. It should never look like the bristles are falling over.

How can I keep my summerrunning & walking habitsheading into Fall?

As west-coasters, we always seem toget spoiled with a beautiful Septemberand then October hits and reality setsin… The rain, cold and darkness should

be no excuse not to get out for your regular run orwalk. Here are some great tips to keep your sum-mer fitness momentum going throughout the Fall!First thing to think about as a Fall runner is safety.Shorter days and rainy nights are a pedestrian’s

worst nightmare so make sure you take the necessary precautions to be seenby other runners, cars, busses and bikes! A simple combination of a running light,reflective jacket, and looking both ways is a great way to ensure you’re doing allyou can to be seen.Running and walking gear will also take the rainy and cold weather into con-sideration during the wet months. All major shoe brands are offering Gore-Texlined shoes that will keep your feet and socks dry! Consider Gore-Tex if wet toes issomething that keeps you from heading out on a run. When it comes to athleticclothing one should consider water resistant jackets and pants when exercising.The more water-proof a garment is, the less breathable it is… We’ve found avoid-ing a full water-proof jacket during exercise is preferred otherwise you may endup too hot and sweaty inside a jacket without ventilation.Our complete Fall stock with water-proof shoes and weather resistant clothinghas just hit the shelves- we’d love to be a part of your Fall running & walkingsuccesses!!

Why does my dog groomhimself like a cat would?Is it because he grew upwith a cat in the house?

Dogs don’t groom them-selves as a cat would. If adog is “bathing” himself and

licking parts of his skin, chancesare that your dog has an allergicskin itch as opposed to being a

self-groomer. Dogs typically should not lick themselves forany more than a few minutes a day. Just as cats do notlearn species-specific dog behaviors by living with them, it ishighly unlikely for a dog to start demonstrating cat specificbehaviors that are not natural to dogs. Other causes fordogs licking their skin or pawing at their faces may includeeye problems, etc.

Private mortgages are private moneyusually from investors looking for a returnon the extra money they have sitting intheir accounts. They lend money tosomeone who cannot get financing at

a regular bank because they don’t qualify.The rates of private mortgages range greatlydepending on the client’s income and credit, theloan to value they are borrowing against the prop-erty, and what position they are on title, (1st posi-

tion or 2nd position).You can see anything ranging from 6%-12%. You have alreadyheard these private lenders on TV commercials, radio and even on print ads.Let me give you a scenario of when someone might require private financing.There is heavy competition on a property listed below market value for 500K. Aperson goes and places an offer on the property without any subject to financing.Client has 200K for the down payment and needs to borrow 300K from the bank.Due to his lack of income to qualify for the mortgage, regular banks can only lendthe client 200K. Client is short 100K. If he doesn’t come up with the extra 100K hewill lose his deposit on the house because he did not enter the contract with asubject to financing date. His only solution is to find a private 2nd mortgage. Theprivate lender will go on second position on title behind the bank. In addition topaying the mortgage payments to the bank every month, the client will also payan interest only payment to the private investor every month for a year.

What does it really mean whena disclaimer on a real estatelisting says ‘The enclosedinformation while deemed to becorrect, is not guaranteed’?

Q

A

ASK A REALTOR®

Every now and then I come acrossa listing that could have used a littlemore proofreading or diligence.Sometimes we know what the listing

real estate agent is getting at, but over-exaggerating and over-using words on afeature sheet such as “recently updated”when the renovations were in fact com-

How can I recognizehearing problems?

604-434-2070

CALL TODAY FOR BETTER HEARING

Most of the time hearing problemsbegin gradually without discom-fort or pain. What’s more, familymembers often learn to adapt to

someone’s hearing without even realizingthey are doing it. Here are some questionsto ask yourself to determine whetherhearing loss is present.

1. Do I often ask people to repeat themselves?2. Do I have trouble following conversations with more than two

people?3. Do I have difficulty hearing what is said unless I’m facing the speaker?4. Does it sound like other people aremumbling or slurring their words?5. Do I struggle to hear in crowded places like restaurants, malls and

meeting rooms?6. Do I have a hard time hearing women or children?7. Do I prefer the TV or radio volume louder than others?8. Do I experience ringing or buzzing in my ears?If you answered yes to several of these questions, chances are you dosuffer fromhearing loss.

Alpha Secondary Schoolleadership students pushedthrough an hour-long poweroutage Friday to pull off anannualThanksgiving lunchand raise close to $1,000for B.C. Children’s Hospi-tal and the Burnaby FoodBank.

The annual event isn’tnormally a fundraiser, ac-cording parent AllisonJohns, but a generous do-nation from the MadisonCentre Save On Foods, in-cluding 40 rotisserie chick-ens, potatoes, corn, gravy,green salad and pumpkinpies, will allow the Grade10 leadership students andteacher TammyWirick todonate the proceeds fromthe approximately 125 $8tickets sold.

An hour-long power out-age in the area from about10 to 11 a.m. was min-utes away from closing theschool and wiping out thestudents hard work, Johnssaid, but the power was re-stored just in time.
