Burnaby residentNia Furtadohasbeen worried about the sidewalksalong Rumble Street for nearly adecade.

Thesidewalks in theareaareoftenimpassable after it rains, accord-ing to Furtado, who lives betweenPatterson and Joffre avenues.

It was the first winter after Imoved in that I realized how bad thesidewalks really were, she said. Icalled the city a few times.

Furtado moved to the area andnoticed water puddling in front ofher home and freezing over duringthe winter.

It was like an ice rink, shesaid.

He mother fell, and Furtado con-tacted the City of Burnaby again.After that, a catch for water wasinstalled in the gravel shoulder ofthe road in front of her home, tokeep water from flowing downtoward the sunken sidewalk.

But the problem is prevalentthroughout the whole neighbour-hood, she said.

These sidewalks were built backin the 50s, Furtado explained, add-ing, they just dont work now.

Traffic increases annually, shesaid, and there are three schoolson Rumble Street, with two othersnearby.

After it rains, pedestrians walk-ing on the south side of Rumble

Everyday heroes make a differenceNobody nobody should die alone.This is Thea Juetts personal philosophy

and the impetus behind her work with theBurnaby Hospice Society.

We are there from the time they arediagnosed, she said. We have volunteersto live in the home, we visit in the hospitals,we do vigils and sit with people as they taketheir last breath.

Juett, one of the founders of the society,

began her volunteer work with people atthe end of their lives in England when shewas 12.

Her school required that students volun-teer, and Juett chose to volunteer at her localhospital.

She ended upworking in theward for theterminally ill.

I used to read to them and bring themtea, she said. Thats really how I started.

Juett moved to Ontario in 1965 and cameto Burnaby in 1967. She worked for homesupport services as a supervisor.

I had clients who had nobody and diedat home, she said.

It was one such client that led to thefounding of the hospice society, she added.

I got called out one Christmas evening,and I sat with the worker until the doc-tor came and pronounced this gentleman,who had died all alone on Christmas Day,Juett said. I went back to my office afterChristmas and said, Weve got to do some-thing about this.

A local resident is collecting signa-tures for a petition to keep regular-sizedbuses running along two routes in NorthBurnaby.

Burnaby resident Tina Poole is peevedthat TransLink switched to smaller buseson the 134 and 136 routes, which she oftenrelies on to get around the city.

The Forest Grove resident says thesmaller vehicles are often overcrowdedand leave people behind at bus stopsbecause they are full. The smaller busesare also less accessible for wheelchairs andbaby strollers, she claims.

Im more advocating on behalf of myneighbours, she said. Ive got a lot ofneighbours with mobility issues.

Poole said the changes were made inearly September.

They say its going to be permanent,but not if I can help it, she said.

TransLink spokesperson Drew Sniderconfirmed the buses on routes 134 and135 were downsized in September, butthe smaller buses are only being used onweekends, he pointed out.

TransLink made the changes as part ofa service optimization initiative, whichincluded a study of bus routes to figureout where best to use the buses.

With 134 and 136, on weekends theridership just didnt justify having a 40-foot bus, Snider said. In the fall of 2011,ridership for the routes peaked at 17 board-ings, a third of the large buses capacity, headded.

We put the bigger buses elsewhere

and replaced them with the communityshuttle buses.

The community shuttle buses havespace for 24 seats and the same numberof wheelchairs or strollers as the regular-sized buses.

According to Snider, only one personhas formally complained to TransLink

about the downsized buses, and the transitcompany keeps an eye on public feed-back.

We always monitor the situation tosee if any changes are warranted. Lookinginto the numbers and taking into accountwe can carry just as many strollers andwheelchairs, for now, it just doesnt

make economic sense to run a big bus for17 people per trip, he said.

We do log all the complaints we getabout these things, and they are taken intoconsideration.

The 134 goes to Lake City Way andBrentwood Station, while the 136 goes toLougheed Station and Brentwood Station.

Family still waiting for dad to be movedFamilymembers of a former city council-

lor, who is floundering in BurnabyHospitalwith Alzheimers, are still waiting for theirfather to be transferred to a care facility andare questioning the decision to give himantipsychotic drugs.

Douglas Evans, now 82, served onBurnaby city council for 15 years. He wasadmitted to hospital roughly three monthsago after he became lost while out for awalk. According to his family, his healthdeteriorated while in hospital. Hes comedown with pneumonia and C. difficile,

he has lost his ability to walk, and he wasgiven three anti-psychotic drugs, includ-ing haloperidol, which is used primarily totreat schizophrenia.

We felt the anti-psychotic drugs weredoing more damage than anything, saidEvans daughter Diane.

The family was told haloperidol (alsoknown as haldol) was the best drug forcalming down a patient, but Diane saidher father was overdosed twice and wasdrugged into a stupor.

Douglas is no longer on any of the anti-psychotic medications, Diane added.

Hes been very calm since, but of coursenow he cant walk. We feel those drugs

sped up his deterioration, she said. Werefinding so many people with Alzheimersare being medicated with antipsychotics.

Diane said the family is not looking tocast blame, just questioning what seemsto be a common practice in dealing withdementia.

I want to be clear were not blamingpeople. Were not blaming the doctors orthe nurses, Diane said. Were just sayingthere has to be a better way.

Gloria Gutman, president of theInternational Network for Prevention ofElder Abuse, said shes heard many similarstories from patients advocates, and thatthe over-medication of seniors is an issue,

whether at home, in a care facility or inhospital.

The problem is sometimes peoplesbehaviour gets disturbed, or they act outwhen they are frightened, especially thosepeople who have Alzheimers or relateddementia. (They) can get somewhat agi-tated when they are afraid, when they arein strange environment, she said. (For)virtually any of us, at any age, going intohospital is a stressful process. What hap-pens is sometimes staff will misinterpretthe behaviour and prescribe tranquilizers,sedatives, anti-psychotic medication as a

Ridership: Burnaby resident Tina Poole wants to keep regular-sized buses running along two North Burnaby routes that haveswitched to smaller community shuttles. Poole is collecting signatures on a petition to have TransLink reverse the decision.

Street have to walk on thebusy street to avoid largepuddles, flooding and inthe winter, ice, she said.

Traffic turning fromBoundary Road andPatterson Avenue oftenspeeds through the area,with some cars ignoringthe school zone speed lim-its, she said.

While increasing trafficis an issue, Furtado said itcould be manageable.

We arent saying, makeit go away, she said of thetraffic. Were just saying,make it safer for everyoneinvolved.

Furtado said she isafraid someone will behurt or killed if pedestrianproblems in the area arentaddressed soon.

She has witnessed anumber of accidents, shesaid, including one lastJune where a car went intothe oncoming traffic laneand hit a minivan, thenwent through a fence andhit a house.

The accident occurrednear Suncrest Elementary,where students cross thestreet, she said, adding itwas luckily on a Saturday.

In 2010, Furtado andmany of her neighboursbegan expressing theirconcerns to the city inwriting, she said, addingthat they submitted a peti-tion with 120 to 130 namesof Rumble Street residentand parents of SuncrestElementary students.

City staff told residentsthat upgrades to RumbleStreet were included in thecapital construction pro-gram for 2013 to 2014, shesaid.

But last April, Furtadosaid when she called cityhall, she was told the proj-ect had been bumped to2016 to 2018.

Thats not acceptable,she said. Its just gettingworse every year.

The citys director ofengineering, Barry Davis,confirmed the upgradesare scheduled in the 2016to 2018 budget but couldntsay why the project wasmoved from the 2013 to2014 budget, as he hasonly recently taken over asdirector.

Plans of course doget reprioritized due toavailability issues, such asfunding availability, andsometimes there are other

priorities that happen tochange things, he said.In this particular circum-stance, I dont know whatwouldve dropped it from

2013/2014, but it is still inthe plan.

The budget is reviewedannually, but Davis saidhe didnt see anything that

would change the timelinefor the project again at thispoint in time. Eroding side-walks are repaired throughcapital roadworks projects,

as in this case; redevelop-ment; and cost-sharingLASPs local area serviceprograms between resi-dents and the city, he said.

The city regularlyinspects local sidewalks toensure theyre maintainedand repaired as necessary,he added

way of managing behaviour, rather thantaking the time to talk with the person andreassure them that they are safe.

Overmedicating seniors can make themmore confused, slower and incontinent,Gutman said.

They should not be prescribing medi-cations that are designed for people withschizophrenia or another psychosis to peo-ple with dementia, she said. The excuseis: were short staffed, whether your talkingabout a hospital or a care facility. If some-ones misbehaving we dont have time tosit and talk with them and hold their hand,but its also staff perhaps not understand-ing the disease. ... The easiest thing is togive a drug.

In 2011, the B.C. Health Ministry pub-lished a report on the use of antipsychoticdrugs in the provinces residential carefacilities. According to the report, thereare roughly 64,000 people in B.C. withsome form of dementia, but that figure isexpected to grow to 94,000 by 2026.

The report stated that antipsychotics,originally developed for schizophreniaand psychoses, are increasingly used totreat symptoms associated with advanceddementia because they help control agita-tion and aggression.

The report also cited provincial guide-lines that recommend physicians useextreme caution when prescribing anti-psychotics and should do so only whenother therapies have failed, or there is anidentifiable risk of harm to the patientof others, or the symptoms are severeenough to cause suffering and distress.

According to Nafisa Abdulla, a pub-lic affairs consultant with Fraser Health,antipsychotic medications are only givenif prescribed by a doctor and are some-times used to treat or manage symptoms

and behaviours related to Alzheimers anddementia.

It all depends on individual case andcircumstances, she wrote in an email tothe NOW. The patients doctor woulddecide, usually in discussion with fam-ily members, whether or not that was anappropriate course of treatment.

In general, antipsychotics are sometimesusedaschemical restraints,as theyrestrictpatients movements, but Fraser Healthspolicy is that any restraints chemical,physical or environmental are only usedto protect patients from harm when otherreasonable alternatives havent worked.

In the meantime, the Evans family mem-bers are taking shifts, watching over theirfather, who remains isolated in BurnabyHospital because of the C. difficile. Dianesaid her father needs to be re-assessed, todetermine what kind of care he requires,before he can be placed in a seniors home.

NDP leader Adrian Dix didsomething last week that is com-pletely out of character for a B.C.political leader.

He actually went out of hisway to speak glowingly of histwo rivals, Premier ChristyClark and B.C.Conservative leaderJohn Cummins. Inhis speech to about1,500 delegates to the Unionof B.C. Municipalities annualconvention, he heaped praiseon their public service, and saidthey were not deserving of anypersonal attacks, especially com-ing from him.

This was not an isolated caseof Dix playing nice in B.C.s pol-itical sandbox. Since becomingleader, he has strived to createa more positive tone in whatpasses for political discourse inthis province.

The question is: can he keepthis up, and will this kind ofstyle continue if he becomespremier? Dix insists the answerto both questions is a definiteyes.

Well see.But for now, you have to give

him credit for trying to wrestB.C. politics out of the aggres-sively partisan, attack-dog men-tality that has dominated thepolitical arena for decades.

For a recent example, oneneeds to look no further thanthe recent mini-scandal thatsaw the premiers chief of staffresign over some kind of inci-

dent involving a female politicalstaffer at a Victoria bar.

This is the kind of story thatallows an Opposition party tofurther embarrass the govern-ment. Not so here.

The NDPs response wastelling, because theresimply was no response.As per Dixs orders, noMLA or staff person

made a single comment aboutthe incident. Not a single tweetwas sent out, in an arena wheresocial media often drives thedebate.

When Kevin Falcon andGeorge Abbott announced theywere getting out of politics, Dixissued news releases thankingthem for their public service.More notably, Dix lauded theappointment of former premierGordon Campbell to the positionof Canadas high commissionerin London, England.

His endorsement ofCampbells position likely didntgo over well with many of hispartys faithful, who had cometo revile the former premier. ButDix didnt care about that andsaid he thought the post was theperfect fit for Campbell and thecountry.

In the legislature, Dix leadsoff every question period, but hedoes so in a low-key, non-con-frontational manner. He leavesthe shouting and arm-waving tohis caucus members.

Voting problems not biggest political issueCalls for electoral reform in B.C. are

increasing in volume once again notsurprising, as it begins more and moreto look like a lopsided result will comeout of the next provincial election.

Lopsided results tend toemphasize a small flaw infirst-past-the-post voting, inwhich the candidate with themost votes wins the election, regard-less of how few votes he or she actuallypolls. With three or four strong candi-dates running, a winner could have less

than a third of the total ballots cast.That inequity can be magnified dra-

matically between ridings. For instance,Gordon Campbell led the B.C. Liberalsto a massive victory in 2001, winning all

but two ridings about 95 percent of the seats in the legis-lature despite receiving lessthan 60 per cent of the popular

vote across the province.Traditionally in B.C., the uneven

split between popular votes andfinal outcomes in the legislature has

favoured the political right, particu-larly when there has been greater bal-ance between parties vying for power.Nevertheless, in 1996, the NDP tookmore than half of the available seatsdespite having polled less than 40 percent of the popular vote, while the los-ing Liberals actually received 42 percent of the votes cast in B.C.

The likelihood of another lopsidedelection is rekindling the fires under atransferable vote system that requires acandidate to acquire at least 50 per cent

support, either initially or through vot-ers second (or third) choices.

This time the calls for reform arecoming from the right end of the politi-cal spectrum likely because the right issplit. But a change in balloting wouldnot address the real problem. Whenour MLAs get to Victoria, they becomeblind representatives for their party.If they actually represented their rid-ings and the people who elected them the first-past-the-post system wouldserve us just fine, thanks.

Playing nice maypay off for Dix

Letter facts not quite rightDear Editor:

Im writing as follow up to a letter to the editorfrom Alan Hunter published on Sept. 28.

In it, he states that the company does not providestatistics related to spills. I just wanted to bring toyour attention that his claim is entirely false.

In fact, our website details the number of spills,their volume, location and type of product datingback to 1961. You and your readers can find it inthe FAQs under the question How many spillshave there been on the Trans Mountain system? atwww.transmountain.com/faq.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dixs motivation forall this feel-good, posi-tive messaging appearslinked to his desire toincrease voter turnout andparticipation in the polit-ical process. The relentlessnegativity that character-izes political debate is nodoubt a turnoff for a lot ofpeople, who view such dis-course as mindless, emptyrhetoric.

And this new kind ofapproach may also reflectthe reality that there arenot many tremendous dif-ferences between Dix andhis opponents, thus elimin-ating the need for personalattacks (I suspect that aclose examination of theelection platforms of theNDP and the B.C. Liberalscome next spring will notreveal huge differences;both parties are hemmedin by deteriorating govern-

ment revenues).By contrast, Premier

Clark and her B.C. Liberalparty continue to take therelentless, aggressive par-tisan approach and launchpersonal attacks on Dix atregular intervals.

So far, that approachis not working, but theyshow no signs of changingtactics.

In fact, I suspect the B.C.Liberals are already plan-ning their next attack adon Dix.

You can be sure thatas we draw nearer to nextsprings election they willfeverishly play up Dixsnow-notorious backdatedmemo to file he wroteduring the casino contro-versy that ousted his for-mer boss, Glen Clark, fromthe premiers office.

Last week, I noted thehuge gender gap that hasdeveloped among B.C.

voters, as women in largenumbers have desertedClark. I have to wonderwhether the differing stylesof the two leaders mayhelp explain that gap.

If Dix can remain posi-tive and avoid the partisanpersonal attacks that hischief opponent loves (andif he can ensure his caucusand staff toe the same line),I suspect that gender gapmay become even moreentrenched.

And it may well turnout that of all the thingsDix says he will do in gov-ernment should he get thechance to lead it, establish-ing a positive, non-partisanapproach to politics mayprove to have the biggestand longest-lasting impacton our province.

Dix: Avoiding partisanship

We, too, contributed to the public feed-back that determined what traffic solu-tions would be the most beneficial for theentire community.

There are many challenges to runninga small independent business on a neigh-bourhood shopping street. Property taxesat 4.3 times the rate that residents pay, andcompetition from shopping malls and bigbox stores are two big ones. But our big-gest problem, by far, is traffic and parkingchallenges.

Many Heights residents dont remem-ber that in the 1970s through 1990s, ourproperty values were among the lowestin Burnaby. Prostitution and massage par-lours were evident, there were many busi-ness vacancies, and litter and graffiti werecommon sights.

The Heights Merchants Association,our community partners, and the city haveworked very hard for more than 20 yearsto turn the Heights around.

Residents often tell us that the chief rea-son they moved to the Heights is becauseof its shopping district. Yet we must nottake this local shopping street for granted.

In 1996, we were dealt a big blow whenparking in front of our businesses wastaken away. The busiest period at the endof the work day became our slowest. Andnothing has replaced that loss of businesssince.

Creating the high-occupancy vehiclelane did not eliminate rat running in the

Heights then, and extending the hourswill not help it today. The biggest reasonthat drivers rat run is because they can.There are few impediments, and it is easyto access the Skeena tunnel. Adding a halfhour to the HOV lanes will not deter driv-ers from that convenience.

But the HOV lane will hurt the busi-nesses that serve our community. It createsa noisy, polluted and dangerous freewayatmosphere where thousands of peoplewalk, every day, and no buffer of parkedcars to protect them. The poor supply ofstreet parking encourages drivers to go themall and today, many malls are rebuild-ing themselves into an outdoor streetwithout the nuisance of moving traffic todiminish the atmosphere.

With the Evergreen Line coming downthe pike and Lougheed Highway designedto carry high volumes of traffic, there arealternative traffic routes to explore. Whynot remove the HOV lane and restore ourparking so that we can all enjoy a cheerfulsidewalk atmosphere that other districts,such as Commercial Drive, have?

More than a third of our merchantslive on the Heights, too. We also object torat-running. But having an HOV lane doesnot solve that problem, and increasing itshours wont make it better.

A group of six of the employees decid-ed to start a hospice, she said, and held ameeting at the McGill library branch to seeif there was community support. About 75people showed up.

The society started off without money,an office or staff, according to Juett. It hassince grown to have one full-time employ-ee paid for with funds from FraserHealth and three part-time employees.

The society has fundraisers to keepthe hospice running, and alsomakes money from its thriftstore, which opened six yearsago, she said. She now volun-teers at the thrift store.

Im so proud to be part ofthis, she said of the society.We have such a wonderfulgroup of volunteers.

Juett is one of eight LocalHero Award winners chosenthis year by the citys socialissues committee.

She was surprised to findout she won, when told about it by theNOW.

Isnt that great? she said. I didnteven know I was up for this.

The winners are invited to receive theircertificates of recognition at the Nov. 5council meeting. A reception is being heldbeforehand.

The other seven local heroes werenominated for volunteer work with com-munity policing units, Burnaby GeneralHospitals healthy heart program, andthe citys citizen services program, amongother programs, according to a reportfrom the committee.

Karen Corcoran has volunteered withtheHastingsBrentwoodCommunityPoliceoffice and helped initiate the BusinessWatch program in North Burnaby.

Maria Motta volunteers with SouthBurnaby Neighbourhood House andthe Healthy Heart Program at BurnabyGeneral Hospital.

Vivian Pinter volunteers with the

Burnaby North Girl Guides, the par-ent advisory council of Capitol HillElementary School and her local BlockWatch chapter.

Michael Raynor volunteers with theCommunity Centred College for theRetired, and has served in different rolesduring his 13 years with the college.

Tanaya Shaw is a volunteerwith the Baby Cuddle programthrough the citys citizen sup-port services department.

Coun. Paul McDonell, chairof the social issues committee, said theprocess of choosing the local heroes isusually simple.

We go through them all, and theyhave to meet the set criteria, he said in aphone interview Monday.

Award winners have to be a residentof the city for a number of years, andthe type of community work they do isassessed, he added.

We look at the work they do in thecommunity, whether its somethingtheyre employed to do, McDonell said.Sometimes theres people that work fordifferent organizations and stuff, and theyget paid. Were looking primarily for peo-ple who are volunteering in the commu-nity, for their community involvement.

The city has limited the amount ofwinners to 12 per year, McDonell said,to ensure the award has meaning and isgiven to the most deserving people. Thosewho do not win can be nominated againthe next year, he added.

Over 15 Million milkempties recycled at Return-ItDepots in 2011British Columbians get top marksfor their milk carton recyclingefforts as over 15 million milk con-tainers were returned to partici-pating Return-It Depots last year.The volume of milk containersreturned to participating Return-It Depots has tripled since 2006.says Mike Dick, president of theBC Dairy Council.

The amount of cartons and jugsthat we have saved from landfillsis quite significant, says Dick. Itis hard to visualize the amount, butif you were to align 15 million jugsand cartons upright and side-by-side, the distance would cover fromVancouver to Prince George andback. Thats over 1,500 kilometers!The 15 million containers weighedin at 630,000 kilograms (380,000

kilograms of milk cartons and250,000 kilograms of plastic milkjugs). Year over year, the weightof recovered milk containers hasincreased by eight per cent thatsan increase of 47,000 more kilo-grams from 2010 and a trend that theDairy Council hopes will continue.

Number of participatingReturn-It Depots morethan doubledThe voluntary recycling programprovided by Return-It Depotsallows consumers to drop off emptymilk containers, at no charge,to participating depots and it is

proving to be a huge success.Services are provided by EncorpPacific, which manages the Return-It Depots throughout the provincethat accept milk containers forrecycling. Since the company wasfirst contracted to service thevoluntary milk recycling programin 2006, the number of Return-ItDepots that accept milk empties hasmore than doubled from 70 to 166.The growing network of partici-pating Return-It Depots has madeit easier for British Columbiansto do the right thing and recycleresponsibly. Research shows thatthe average BC household empties6.5 milk containers every monthand that there are more than1.8 million households in B.C.,so the potential impact on theenvironment is significant.

No deposit = no refundTheres no refund on milk empties(because you didnt pay a deposit),but youll have the satisfaction ofknowing you are doing the rightthing. Plastic jugs are the mostpopular form of packaging for milkin BC, polycoat milk cartons arealso commonly used. Althoughpolycoat cartons are not usuallyaccepted through curbside blue-boxprograms, milk carton recycling isoffered at 166 participating Return-

It Depots across the province. Allmilk, cream, and milk substitute(soy, almondand rice) beverage con-tainers are recyclable and accepted.

Rinse and crush milkcontainers for recyclingPreparing milk containers for re-cycling is easy; simply rinse themout and crush them. This stopsthe cartons and jugs from smellingand makes them more compactto store and carry. It also facili-tates the recycling process. Dontforget to remove and bring inthe caps too, because they getrecycled separately.British Columbians can bringtheir milk empties to participatingReturn-It Depots along with theirdeposit-bearing bottles and cans.Its easy and convenient.

B.C. gets top marks for 2011 milk recycling efforts

Nancy Le and Yen Do have beenfriends for more than 20 years.Le was introduced to Do byher mother and used to visit Do at a cater-ing company where she worked, accord-ing to Le.

Do has workedin the industry sinceher 20s. All myfamily are in thefood business, shesays.

Their friendshipand Dos prowesswith the culinaryarts grew over the

years, finally culminating in Broken Rice a Vietnamese restaurant that openedin the Heights at 4088 Hastings St. fiveweeks ago.

Do, who has two other restaurantsin Vancouver and Richmond, partneredwith Le to open the new eatery after Lelost her job as a dental assistant.

She wanted to have a restaurant, butshe cannot do it by herself, so I said, OK,I can help, Do says. We decided toopen together.

Le lives in the neighbourhood andpicked the spot.

She also chose the dcor dark, ornateteak tables and chairs in a fine dining set-ting.

It is an unusual set up for localVietnamese restaurants, which tend to bemore casual, Do says, but the duo pre-ferred to go with a slightly Westernizeddining atmosphere to showcase their tra-ditional Vietnamese cuisine.

Le brings out the restaurants signaturegreen papaya salad fresh prawns atopa bed of shredded green papaya with alight, tangy dressing.

The dish, which Do also makes at herVancouver restaurant, Green Lemongrass,is a favourite of federal ImmigrationMinister Jason Kenney, she tells us.

Next out is clay pot chicken on a bedof rice. The dish has an complex array ofsubtle flavours, in part due to the spe-cial edible yellow lilies imported fromVietnam, Do says.

Uncle Hings Chicken Wings are quickto follow, crispy and hot with a light coat-ing of sweet, hot sauce.

The wings are a creation of Dos broth-er, Hing, and were put on the menu at therequest of her son, she says.

The cuisine is from all different areasof Vietnam, with most of it from thesouthern part of the country, accordingto Do.

The culinary influence of the Frenchoccupation of Vietnam is very evident,particularly in dishes such as frogs legs,Do points out.

Le brings out the next course shakenbeef and tomato rice.

The tenderloin in the shaken beef dishis tender and moist, its flavours minglingperfectly with those of the rice.

Le joins us at the table to discuss herrole at Broken Rice.

I like to enjoy food, Le says. I like

to go to Western restaurants, and I wantto adopt their way of plating. So we cancombine ideas. More experience from Yenand the look, my part.

Le considers Do her mentor, she says.Shes a very good business woman,

Le says.The final dishes presented are an

avocado shake, made with condensedmilk, and the restaurants garden parfait,invented by Dos son.

A scoop of vanilla ice cream sits ona bed of cookie crumbs, surrounded bydiced dragonfruit and kiwi and otherfruits. It is also adorned with microgreens, including delicate pink flowers

and tiny carrots.The flavours are layered - sweet vanilla

and cookie with the snap of kiwi, comple-mented by the gentle microgreens.

Were launching something very dif-ferent, Le says of the restaurant.

The two friends hope people will giveBroken Rice with its combination ofWestern look and Vietnamese food atry, Le says.

The local neighbourhood people arevery good, very supportive, Do adds.
