Mayor:City getsrisks, fewbenefits

Burnaby is facing the most risks andseeing very few benefits with respectto Kinder Morgans pipeline expan-sion project, according to Mayor DerekCorrigan.

There arent any large gains forBurnaby; a dozen jobs at best and afew million dollars in additional taxes,Corrigan said.

Most of the gains are at the otherend of the pipeline in Alberta. As forthe potential risks, we probably morethan any other community are awareof the implications of the pipelinebursting, and one of the best examplesof how human error can compound tocreate an even bigger disaster, he said,referring to the 2007 Kinder Morganpipeline spill. The reality is weregoing to look at more oil more dan-gerous oil, the bitumen product goingthrough our community in twice asmany pipelines and then ending up onour foreshore at Barnet Beach in tank-ers that are going to come in and havetriple the amount of berths and triplethe amount of traffic. Were taking allof the worst implications of this andall of the biggest risks, with very littleto gain.

Corrigan is one of several speak-ers at next weeks town hall meeting,hosted by BROKE, a citizens groupopposing the Kinder Morgan pipelineexpansion. The meeting is to informlocal residents about Kinder Morgans

Running again: Susan Crossley-Vorell, a Burnaby mother of two and a former athlete, was told she would most likely neverrun again, but after she spent years recovering and regaining her strength, she made her first run around the track at BurnabyNorth Secondary recently. Her young son was an inspiration to run again.

Jennifer Moreaustaff reporter

Recovery road: I will run againA single run around the track at

Burnaby North Secondary may not seemlike cause for celebration, but for oneBurnaby woman, it was enough to moveher to tears.

Susan Crossley-Vorell, a mother of twoand an athlete in her youth, circled thetrack once on Thursday, Sept. 20, clearingthe first hurdle on a path to reclaim herhealth.

It went amazingly well, she said.I feel like my road to recovery has justbegun.

Crossley-Vorell, now 44, was an athlete

in her high school years. She was a track-and-field champion who won athlete of theyear throughout high school, a level-fiveskier and a competitive swimmer, whosecured a soccer scholarship to university.

About four-and-a-half years ago,Crossley-Vorell was carrying her secondchild and found herself facing a harrow-ing, high-risk pregnancy. She spent threemonths in bed, leading up to the preg-nancy, which left her leg muscles com-pletely atrophied, drained of all strengthand muscle mass.

I had to be on bed rest to make surethat myself and my son would survive,she said.

It wasnt until after her son was born

and she fell down a flight of stairs that shelearned the walking pain she felt wasnta normal postpartum problem. Crossley-Vorell went to an orthopedic surgeon andfound out she also had patellofemoral painsyndrome, brought on by the three monthsof bed rest. She was told she would mostlikely not run again.

But Crossley-Vorell was not having anyof it.

I am a very determined person. I neverbelieved it, she said, reciting her his-tory of athletic prowess. Imagine tellingsomeone like me that you will not be ableto run again? I never believed it. I alwaysstayed positive, and I said, No, I will run

Lets talk. From thepersonal to political.

Life in Burnaby

History of Metrotown area unveiledHistory uncovers everything, says local resi-

dent David Pereira. And on Wednesday, Oct. 10, theamateur historian will be uncovering how BurnabysMetrotown area has transformed over the years.

For instance, Station Square used to be a Ford fac-tory but was abandoned after the Second World Warand was eventually transformed into a civic centre.According to Pereira, Kingsway, now a busy thor-oughfare, was originally a trail used primarily by the

military.It used to be a clear shot, a clear

sight-line, to see if the Americans wereinvading Vancouver, Pereira said.

Central Park was the highest van-tage point, from which soldiers couldspot ships docking in the Vancouverport and alert their counterparts inNew Westminster.

Thats also why the real estate isso successful in Metrotown as wellbecause its such a high point, headded.

This is just a taste of PereirasWednesday talk, hostedby theBurnaby

Historical Society. Hell also discuss the old Oakallaprison and political conflict tied to the development ofMetropolis at Metrotown.

Pereira did his masters degree in urban studies atSimon Fraser University, with a focus on town centreplanning in Burnaby. He also gleans information fromold local newspapers The Burnaby Advertiser and theBurnaby Courier and the citys archives.

You always take for granted how things look liketoday, and you always assume they will be there, butone thing history tells us is that things change so rap-idly, says Pereira.

Pereiras presentation is on Wednesday, Oct. 10,at 7:30 p.m. at the Burnaby Village Museum. Helltalk for an hour, and then the Burnaby HistoricalSociety will hold their business meeting for members.The society, which formed in 1957, meets monthsat Burnaby Village Museum, usually with a guestspeaker discussing history. Theres no need to registerfor Pereiras talk, just show up at 6501 Deer Lake Ave.Admission is free.

RogerWhitehouse, secretary for the BurnabyHistoricalSociety, says the group is looking for new members.Membership is $15 a year. For more information on how

to join, call the Burnaby Village Museum at 604-297-4565.For more local history from Pereira, visit his blog atdavidpereira.ca.

Crossley-Vorell: ... never give up and have patienceagain.

Then came years of aqua-size, physio-therapy and massage to rebuild her legmuscles. But last year, she experienceda turning point that strengthened herconviction to run again. While helping aninjured child at her daughters school, herthree-year-old son suddenly ran off.

It was extremely frightening for mebecause I couldnt find him, Crossley-Vorell said.

Knowing she could only run, and notwalk, she decided to abandon the injuredgirl in search of her own child. Three

minutes later, a teacher found him on theedge of a sidewalk next to a busy road.

That was the longest three minutesof my life, Crossley-Vorell said. At thatmoment, I said to myself, this is evenmore reason I will run again.

In the past year, shes started cyclingand has gone on longer walks. She canswim again and do laps in the pool, likeshe used to. But on Sept. 20, she felt readyto try running for the first time in fiveyears. While NOW photographer LarryWright was there to capture the moment,Crossley-Vorell did not tell anyone else.Her knee started to hurt at the 300-metre

mark, but she made it.It was a very emotional day for me,

Crossley-Vorell said. My journey hasjust begun, and I have a long way to go,but I feel like Ive jumped over the firsthurdle. And I feel like my son is so worthall of this.

Crossley-Vorell still wants to improveher physical health, and her first runaround the track was just one major step.

I want to become a faster swimmeragain. I want my legs to feel strongeragain. I want to know I can help mydaughter with her soccer, and I can joinin on my sons future endeavours, she

said. I still have a ways to go, but thisis my determination, and Im so happy Iwas able to run.

Crossley-Vorell was thankful for herfriends and neighbours, the Fogale fam-ily, whom she described as loving andsupportive.

Crossley-Vorell is also hoping her storyserves as an inspiration to others with aninjury or disability.

I just want them to know: never giveup and have patience, she said. It takesa lot of patience and positive will.

pipeline expansion plan.The company wants

to twin its existing TransMountain pipeline, whichruns oil from Alberta toBurnaby, and expand theBurnaby Mountain tankfarm and the WestridgeMarine Terminal on theBurrard Inlet.

If the National EnergyBoard rejects the plan anddecides it is not in Canadasbest interests, recent chang-es brought on by the fed-eral Conservatives now

give cabinet the final say onwhether pipeline projectswill go forward, Corriganpointed out.

People are becom-ing more afraid that thefix is in, that the federalConservative governmenthas predetermined thisissue, which is why theymade these changes to theNational Energy Board tolet cabinet make the finaldecision, he said. Thetwinning of the pipeline isgoing to be their first pri-ority while they battle out

whether the Enbridge proj-ect will go ahead.

The town hall meetingis Wednesday, Oct. 10, at 7p.m. at the ConfederationSeniors Centre.

Speakers will includelocal MP Kennedy Stewartand Rueben George fromthe Tsleil-Waututh Nation.

There will also be somemusic and a question-and-answer period. The centreis at 4585 Albert St.

Earlier this year, weannounced our inten-tions to pursue expandingthe Trans Mountain PipelineSystem, which has been respon-sibly transporting oil betweenEdmonton and Burnaby since1953. At that time,we committed toembarking on anopen, extensive andthorough engagement processon all aspects of the proposedexpansion project along theroute and marine corridor. Itwas a promise, to hear everyvoice and every concern.

Since then our conversationhas begun in earnest and wevereceived much feedback frominterested British Columbiansabout different aspects of ourproject.

Of all the feedback wevereceived, risk and safety par-ticularly pipeline safety andmarine safety have been theprimary concerns.

This concern is echoed in theB.C. governments five condi-tions for oil pipeline projects.Were confident that, with thecooperation of others, this con-cern can be addressed.

We understand the safetyof our coastline is paramount,and are proud to be able to saythat all 900 tankers that haveever loaded and sailed from theWestridge Marine Terminal inBurnaby have done so without asingle spill.

This record is thanks to a

culture of safety within TransMountain, the network of safetyand response organizations inthe marine community and theregulations and requirementsestablished to ensure safe transitof oil tankers in the local waters.

When it comes tomarine safety, KinderMorgan Canada alsostands with B.C. in

advocating for the necessarylevel of federal funding andresponse capabilities. At thesame time, we believe compan-ies must also pay their fair share,as it is companies that are liablefor potential spills not com-munities.

On the pipeline itself, wevehad very few incidents in a hist-ory spanning nearly 60 years.For us, no spill is acceptable, butwe have plans to respond, cleanup, remediate and learn fromevery incident, should one occur.

While we cannot promisethere wont ever be a spill, wecan tell you this: were doingeverything we can to preventspills.

Theres been much discus-sion about heavy oils and bitu-men and whether these types ofproducts pose increased risk.

Bitumen isnt something new,but a resource Trans Mountainhas been transporting for closeto 30 years with no scientificor operational evidence it is anymore corrosive to the pipeline

Give thanks on a deeper level this weekendFor a few minutes this weekend, most

of us will set aside some time to ponderthe things were grateful for.

Good health, well say. Or, if werebeing particularly insightful, well bethankful for the food on the table, thepay cheque that allowed us tobuy it and the good fortune tohave a home to serve it all in.

And then well get back toeating turkey and feeling disgruntledabout something or other, wishing wehad a better car or more money in thebank.

How quickly we forget that, as resi-dents of one of the wealthiest countriesin the world, we enjoy freedom, libertyand access to education and health carethat is practically unparalleled.

Here at the NOW, we are regularlyreminded of the trials experi-enced by people in otherparts of the world throughthe stories we cover: like the

young Burnaby girl from Haiti who solddirt cookies (flat biscuits of dirt, saltand shortening that poverty strickenHaitians eat to fill their stomachs) as

part of a fundraiser for her home coun-try.

Or the man who escaped Iran afteryears of religious persecution, leavingthe country on foot under the dark ofnight, fearing for his familys life atevery step. Or the Burnaby city stafferwho came to Canada after a child-hood living under the oppressive lawsof apartheid-era South Africa. Or theyoung man who fled his home in Sudanat the age of nine, becoming one of theLost Boys without home or family.

We dont recall these tales to sug-

gest that we in Canada should simplybe grateful for our lot in life and neverwork to improve injustices, or that therearent many people suffering in terribleways in this country, too.

Its simply a reminder that things wemay not even consider being grateful forare non-existent in some places in thisworld: running water, electricity, publiceducation, peace.

So dig deep and ponder gratitude thisweekend and what kind of respon-sibility it leaves us with on behalf of theless fortunate people of the world.

Dont tell me what to doDear Editor:

Well, if city councillors and the local newspaperfeel it is okay to do so, then so do I.

I would like to tell these animal rights activiststo piss off.

It is not anyones right to tell people what theymay eat, when it is legal. Cities do not have theauthority to do so.

Next, they may be telling us we must all be veg-ans because of their beliefs.

I will make a deal with Dania Sheldon: If she iswilling to back me in my personal political quests, Iwill certainly be willing to forgo shark fin soup!

In the meantime, I am willing to stand behind

Burnaby city council and shout in unison (una vocedicentes): piss off!

What a year for school historyDear Editor:

I went to a doubleheader this past weekend.No, I wasnt soaking up the sun at Nat Bailey. TheVancouver Canadians baseball season is already inthe rearview mirror after another glorious playoffrun, culminating in them winning back-to-backchampionships.

I was celebrating glory of another kind. Its thekind that was neither built in a day nor in a season.

than other products.The bitumen in our

pipeline is less dense thansalt or fresh water, at amaximum density of 0.94,and will float if theres aspill.

Beyond risks andsafety, another overalltheme weve heard loudand clear from indi-viduals and in the B.C.governments five condi-tions is that people wantto know about the benefitsof expanding the TransMountain Pipeline toBritish Columbia and B.C.communities.

The project promises toyield significant economicbenefits for communitiesalong the route. It will cre-ate both construction andlong-term jobs, and weare committed to hiringcompanies and workersfrom communities andaboriginal groups alongthe pipeline. Should theproject proceed, more than60 per cent of the $4.1 bil-lion in projected construc-tion costs would be spentin B.C.

B.C. and its commun-ities can also benefit from

opportunities associ-ated with this project tocreate legacies such asinvestments in the greeneconomy, environmentalstewardship, First Nationscommunities and improve-ments to drive a world-leading spill response andcleanup capability. Wehave some ideas but alsowant to hear yours.

We know the publicis very interested in ourproject and is seekingchannels to provide input.A large part of our projectteam is local, based inB.C. communities alongthe pipeline. Weve beenreaching out to the 2,200landowners along thepipeline and meetingwith community leaders,elected officials, environ-mental groups and aborig-inal groups to get theirperspective. We agree withthe provinces view aboutbuilding strong and endur-ing relationships with FirstNations and we will meetits expectation to addressaboriginal rights.

Well soon be expand-ing our public engagementprogram, giving BritishColumbians the opportun-

ity to learn more about theproposed expansion andprovide feedback on someof our routing options,soliciting ideas on thekinds of benefits theydlike to see, and listeningand responding to theirconcerns.

Lastly, through thediscussions weve had sofar, we understand BritishColumbians want andneed reliable informationand facts that will providethem with greater under-standing of our proposedproject and assist them informing opinions, allow-ing for an even moreinformed and effectivedialogue.

Well do our best toprovide that informationthrough various channels,including a new and muchmore expansive website,meetings and variousengagement events.

The Trans Mountainteam is committed to earn-ing your trust and con-fidence not simply tobe able to say we did, butbecause its the only wayforward.

Benefits: Focus on pipeline

The first glorious occasion was onFriday evening, when Burnabys NelsonElementary School opened its doors to thepublic and, in particular, to its alumni tomark its centennial (1912-2012).

I met students whod graced those hal-lowed halls as far back as the 1920s.

Proudly sporting my commemorativeT-shirt, courtesy of principal Dino Klarich,I spoke with one lady who was trying tofind her name on one of the dozens oforiginal, handwritten class rosters postedin the gym, which had been transformedinto a fascinating museum of 20th centuryhistory, pop culture and memorabilia.

Pointing to her Grade 7 class in the early1940s, she explained to me the reason ithad a whopping 54 students was due to ateacher shortage during the Second WorldWar, as young teachers were needed in thewar effort.

My second brush with glory cameon Saturday morning, when I attendedBuckingham Elementarys 50th anniver-

sary celebration (1962 to 2012).A relative pup compared to Nelson,

Buckingham nevertheless boasts a proudhistory.

As principal Gregory Walters put it tothe audience, Buckingham has been thecrown jewel of the community overthe last half-century a fact that did notgo unacknowledged by a certain regalnamesake.

In an official letter from BuckinghamPalace, sent on behalf of the Queen, HerMajesty conveyed her warm good wish-es to all concerned in this most specialanniversary year.

These milestones that seem to be com-ing at a brisk pace for the Burnaby SchoolDistrict, bringing past and present stu-dents and staff together in celebration andremembrance, are the fruits of the carefulforethought and labour of our forefathersand foremothers.

They built such schools to ensure wewould have the highest quality publiceducation institutions in Burnaby, not justfor everyone, but forever.

Disaster awaits usDear Editor:

Re: Residents organize townhallmeeting on pipeline, Burnaby NOW,Sept. 19. Kinder Morgans engineer-ing directorMichael Davies is quoted:We havent seen any unusual corro-sion or have had any other problemswith diluted bitumen. At pipelinetemperatures, its not more acidicor corrosive than conventional crudeoil. Who said it was more corrosive?The existing pipeline was built tothe highest standards of the 1950s,yet despite being well maintained,still leaked once a year over the pastdecade. Posing no additional threatis of little comfort to Burnaby resi-dents.

The real issue is more difficult toimagine than pipes bursting or sealssuffocating. It is the gradual runawaywarming of our planet, which mayalready be happening, as the Arcticice mirror melts before our eyes.

Richard Kinder, of KinderMorgan,is one of the richest men on earth.With his personal wealth, he couldbuy the safest pipeline ever. But eventhe safest bitumen operation wouldstill be a huge mistake. If all thatcarbon spills into the atmosphere andnot on our beaches, our goose is stillcooked. Our kids will be trampled inthe stampede north as B.C. burns.

Bitumen and coal, the worldsdirtiest fossil fuels, must stay wherenature intended them to stay inthe ground, in spite of the short-termeconomic bonanza for big oil.

Our long-range economic healthdepends on the stable climate whichhas nurtured civilization for the past10,000 years.

The proverbial canary in the coalmine stopped singing. Do we notice?BROKE is holding a town hall meet-ing for Burnaby residents who wouldlike to learn more about the localimpact of the Kinder Morgan pipe-line expansion project.

Our town hall meeting with MPKennedy Stewart, Mayor DerekCorrigan and others, will be atConfederation Seniors Centre at 7p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 10; www.burnabypipelinewatch.ca.

Karl Perrin, Burnaby

Expansion is no goodDear Editor:

At a time when we ought to beworking toward reducing our depen-dence on fossil fuels, we are see-ing the largest expansion of oil andgas exploitation in history. There isa worldwide push by industry andgovernments to plunder Canadasenergy reserves as quickly and com-pletely as humanly possible.

Shale gas exploitation is increasingdramatically, wasting B.C.s freshwa-ter and threatening the natural envi-ronment of the North.

Production will nearly triple by2025 from 4 billion cubic feet beingproduced per day to 11bcf per day.In the Horn River Basin water con-sumption has jumped from just over2 million cubic meters in 2009 tonearly 7 million cubic meters in 2011.Wells are using more water per frac,and being fracked more often overlonger horizontal distances. The con-sequences for the environment areirreversible.

According to the provincial gov-ernment, only 15 per cent of our cur-rent production is consumed in B.C.

By 2025, our domestic consump-tion of natural gas will fall to less thansix per cent while freshwater usagewill skyrocket. Both the B.C. NDPand the Liberals are supportive ofthis expansion of the shale gas indus-try and the construction of a naturalgas pipeline to the coast. While theB.C. NDP opposes the constructionof the Northern Gateway pipeline,by supporting the construction of anatural gas pipeline across the north,they will ultimately be making it eas-ier in the future for a parallel bituminpipeline to be constructed along thesame right-of-way.Rick McGowan, Burnaby Municipal Greens

Kudos to the LowerMainland GreenTeam for remov-ing invasive plants fromBurnabys Stoney Creek onSept. 29 in celebration ofB.C. Rivers Day.

Thirty-seven volunteerscame out to stuff 32 bagswith English ivy, laureland holly, all invasive

species that can choke outnative plants. The greenteam, a meet-up group ofenvironmental enthusiasts,also planted 82 nativeplants. For more on thegroup, or to get involved,go to www.meetup.com/The-Lower-Mainland-Green-Team.

B.C. Rivers Day was

held on Sept. 30 this year.Burnaby residentMarkAngelo started the annualevent to promote aware-ness about the importanceof waterways.

Thanksgivingdonations

Burnaby residents dug

deep in their cupboards tohelp the B.C. Thanksgivingfood drive in September.From Sept. 10 to 15, vol-unteers collected an esti-mated 352,000 pounds ofdonated food from B.C.households. In Burnabyalone, 215 volunteersvisited 8,300 homes, col-lecting more than 8,700

pounds of food for theGreater Vancouver FoodBank Society.

It was great to see howthe residents of our com-munities came forward tosupport our project, saidAndrew Rolfson, execu-tive director of the B.C.Thanksgiving Food Drive.

HERE & NOWJennifer Moreau

Researcher explores issue of medical tourism

Dental work in Mexico, a face-lift in Barbados, or perhaps aknee replacement in India.

These are just a few of themany options for surgeries avail-able around the world to thosewho can afford to pay out ofpocket.

The ethics, equality and safetyof what is known as medicaltourism comprise a complicatedsubject of debate, however.

In response to this, a team ofresearchers at SimonFraser University isstudying the topicto help find someanswers to offerCanadian patientsconsidering cross-border health care.

Valorie Crooks,a health geographerat SFU, recentlyreceived a $635,000salary award fromthe Michael SmithFoundation forHealth Research foran eight-year period to furtherher research in this area.

Her qualitative study focuseson Canadian medical tourism inBarbados, Guatemala, Mexicoand India. Crooks hopes to gaina better understanding of theimpacts of medical tourism forboth Canada and the destinationcountry.

By next year, she and her teamof researchers hope to have atool guide for Canadians whoare considering medical tourismto help them carefully considertheir options.

I can fully appreciate whypeople ask me, Is medical tour-ism right or wrong, is it goodor bad? and the thing is, itsa very complex practice, saidCrooks. Its a multi-billion dol-lar industry. You have flows ofpatients from countries in theglobal south to the global northand vice-versa, and within theglobal north and the global south.

It is extremely hard to make ablanket statement.

The research, Crooks said, isnot meant to come up with asimple answer to all of the neces-sarily complex questions relatedto this industry, but rather togather information and providepreliminary statistics on medicaltourism for patients and policy-makers in Canada.

There are many reasonspatients have for travellingabroad for health care, includingcost, wait times, and availabilityof treatments not offered in theirhome countries, Crooks noted.

Susan Beech is a retiredCanadian who spends half theyear in Cozumel, Mexico, whereshe and her husband run a tour

company.She said she

would, totallyrecommend it toanyone, whenit comes to get-ting surgery in heradopted country.

For years, Beechhad serious chronicsinus infections,further complicat-ed by a deviatedseptum, and was atone point needingantibiotic injections

daily to deal with the problem.When she was told by her

Canadian doctor she wouldlikely have to wait up to eightmonths to get an initial consulta-tion with a specialist here, shedecided to pursue treatment inMexico. There, she was seen bya specialist within days and wasable to have surgery done twoweeks later.

That was in February, andsince then, her sinus problemshave disappeared, she said.

I can breath, I can smell, I cantaste food again. I sleep better,she said, adding that with a life-style that involves a lot of time inthe ocean, she is delighted to beable to swim again. Beech paid$4,000 for the surgery, plus anextra $1,000 for travel expenses.

She said she feels it was a win-win for herself as well as for theCanadian medical system.

Weve saved MSP definitely$10,000, she said. And hope-

fully we may get something backon our taxes.

While some might considertheir choice to be a cost-savingmeasure for the Canadian health-care system, this is not always thecase, as it turns out.

Eric Cadesky, a family physi-cian who lives in Burnaby, hasa patient who elected to go toAsia for a cosmetic procedure shepaid for herself, but came backto Canada with a resulting infec-tion. She required emergencysurgery and follow-up antibiot-ics, which were paid for throughthe medical services plan.

Cadesky said he neitherencourages nor discourages hispatients from pursuing medicaltreatment outside Canada, but herecommends anyone consideringtreatment elsewhere first consultwith their doctor here and stay in

touch while away.He has treated at least 20

patients who have receivedmedical treatment overseas andseen both positive and negativeoutcomes once they return toCanada. But Cadesky said he canunderstand why patients chooseto leave the country for certainprocedures, such as surgery torelieve carpal tunnel syndrome.

As much as people say thereis not a two-tiered system here,there certainly is when you con-sider that Washington State is40 minutes away, and there areplenty of people in Bellinghamand Seattle that are more thanwilling and happy to accept ourCanadian dollars to perform theseprocedures, he said. Becausetheyre quite simple procedures;they just require resources. Andfor anyone whos willing to pay

for these resources, theyre avail-able.

With the myriad questionsabout the ethics both within theCanadian system and in access-ing other nations resources,Crooks is hopeful she and herteam will soon be able to offer abetter picture of what this indus-try actually looks like.

One of the main challengesis simply getting the statisticsbecause the Canadian govern-ment does not require travellersto report their specific reason forleaving the country.

Crooks said it would be use-ful for her research to have thisdata.

In the kind of work that I do,and the things that I know aboutthis, I would very much advocatefor us trying to (get) more infor-mation, she said.

Terry Fox walkStudents at Burnabys

St. Francis de Sales raised

$731 for the Terry FoxFoundation in September.Each student was asked tobring a toonie or more todonate to the cause, andthey walked either in thegym or along a path closeto the school.

Parent volunteershelped the students crossKingsway.

Weve had a numberof staff members affectedby cancer, so I thinkthats a motivation, saidprincipal Irene Wihak.St. Francis de Sales is anindependent Catholic

school in the Metrotownarea.

Date correctionIn my last column,

I mentioned the Oct.4 history event puton by the BurnabyHeights NeighbourhoodAssociation.

The date was cor-rect, but Oct. 4 was on aThursday, not a Saturday,as I mentioned in my col-umn, so apologies for theconfusion.

WHEELSWHEELSWHEELS DealsDealsDealsANDDear Tom and Ray:

I need your help. My carhas an odour that will not goaway.

My car, now known asThe Farm, smells like abarn.

Basically, my brothersdog (her name is Drama)squirted her anal gland (yes,its disgusting) on my Priusfabric back seat.

The substance permeatedseveral layers of seat fabric.By the way, this was threeyears ago.

Ive had the car cleanedmany times. Theyve sham-pooed the seats, done somesort of ozone cleaning,sprayed weird animal-scentremovers, etc., and the smellhasnt gone away.

The odour is so horrificthat if I roll down the win-dow and stop at a tollboothor to pay a fast-food worker,the person literally flinches.

Have you ever seen thatSeinfeld episode about thecar smell?

Well, thats pretty muchthe situation Im in.

My mom thinks that ifI change out the back seat,it will get rid of the smell. Ithink its too late. Anythingthat is in the car for morethan a few hours takes onthat smell.

If Im in the car for sev-eral hours, I smell like thecar. I think even if the seatsare removed, the smell hasbecome part of the interiorsDNA and will never goaway. Its horribly embar-rassing! I cant let anyoneget in the car.

Do you have any advice?Is there any cleaning sub-stance you can recommend?

Or should I cut my lossesand trade it in, hoping the

dealer has no sense of smell?Please help.

Joan

RAY: Wait until yourdealer has a terrible cold,then go and trade it in.TOM: Ive had severalcars like this, although notwith this particular odour.

Usually, it was mould.Id have an old convert-ible, and the top wouldeither leak or stop goingup and down altogether.

So Id leave it down allsummer (of course).

The car would get wet,mould spores would befruitful and multiply, andbefore I knew it, I wasdriving a biohazard level3 containment zone.RAY: Didnt helphim much with dates.Although, on the plusside, he never got asked todrive the carpool.TOM: If you hadntwaited three years, I thinkyoud have a better shotat this.

We spoke to our CarTalk veterinary consult-ant, Dr. Linda Siperstein,and she says that fordog anal gland odour,they use a product calledA.O.E., made by Thornell.

She says this can evenbe sprayed right on thedogs tailpipe if necessary.RAY: Thornell also makesa similar product for car-pets and upholstery calledDog Odor-Off.

The company claimsthat it works even afterthe offending material hasdried, but who knows?

Or maybe youve triedit already and it didnthelp.TOM: Id say youve gotthree choices now.

One is to replace theback seat with one froma junkyard, and then doyour best to treat the restof the car with one ofthese dog-gland-specificindustrial-strength odourfighters.

RAY: Youre right thatthe smell is now in the

headliner, the other seats,the carpet and who knowswhere else?

But if that is a second-ary odour, you might beable to tamp it down to amerely nauseating level.

TOM: On the otherhand, after soaking in thisaroma for three years, Imnot optimistic.

So the second option isto just trade in the car.

Sure, the dealer will

notice the smell when hechecks it out, but maybehell think he can treat it.Maybe he can.

Its certainly cheaperfor him to replace seats,carpets and headlinersthan it is for you.

RAY: Your third optionis a fire. Even that mightnot get rid of the smell,but it will at least mix itwith some more pleasantsmells, like burnt rubber

and plastic.Good luck, Joan!
