When Wendy Tremblay received aseemingly innocuous call from her brother-in-law George, telling her they needed tobuy bread, she was floored.

“A year ago, George didn’t know howto dial a phone. To me that was mind blow-ing,” she said.

George Tremblay, who has an intellec-tual disability, is one of many people whoreceive help from the Burnaby Associationfor Community Inclusion. He’s been con-

nected to the organization for two decades,he’s learned some basic life skills – howto use a phone, for instance – and he’semployed in a work program where heearns some money. To Wendy and her hus-band Dan, the support BACI offers peoplelike George is invaluable, and local familiesare upset and worried those resources areunder threat, thanks to a funding short-fall resulting from what Burnaby MLAsdescribe as a case of bad faith bargainingfrom the provincial government.

But the Tremblays aren’t the only fam-ily with serious concerns about BACI, andwhether the group is receiving proper

funding to help what they describe as themost vulnerable people in society.

At least five families with loved onesconnected to BACI have formed an ad hocgroup called All Families First, and they areupset at what they see as chronic under-funding on behalf of the government.

Burnaby resident Sonya Wachowski isalso part of All Families First. Sonya hasa sister, Moordryd, who has learned tonavigate the public transit system on herown, with the help of BACI. Sonya wants afull life for Moordryd, where she can work,and share her gifts with society. But withcontinual underfunding, Sonya has serious

concerns about BACI’s staffing.“I’m worried that with these continued

cuts, the staff are going to be so demoral-ized, good people are going to be lost, …good people that care about my sister aregoing to leave this profession, … and whatare we going to be left with? The worst casescenario is groups like BACI end up disap-pearing.”

BACI’s latest funding issue is connectedto confusion around the bargaining tablewith the provincial government. Social ser-vice groups like BACI were under the

BURNABY’S MAYOR TAKES A STROLL WITH TOP NDP HONCHO THOMAS MULCAIR

In step: From left, Thomas Mulcair, leader of the federal NDP, met with Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan to talkabout cross-Canada issues, in particular, funding for transit infrastructure.

impression that the provincial governmentwould fund a three per cent wage increase fortheir employees.

But after the contract was signed, the organi-zations learned they would have to find savingsout of their own budget, without cutting services,to cover the wage increase.

For people like Wendy and Sonya, it’s justmore erosion of an already underfunded resourcethey rely on to help their loved ones.

The families are reaching out to other familiesand are considering approaching the govern-ment, once the provincial legislature is back insession.

On Monday, All Families First visited BurnabyNDP MLAs Jane Shin, Kathy Corrigan and RajChouhan to discuss their concerns.

“I don’t think it’s a communication prob-lem, it’s a classic case of bad-faith bargaining,”Chouhan told the NOW.

Fright nights: Francesco Quarto, in the midst of his family’s annual NorthBurnaby Halloween display, which attracts hundreds of spectators every year. Thisyear, the Quartos have created a haunted house, complete with ghoulish charactersthat spring to life. Admission is free, but the Quartos accept donations for the B.C.Children’s Hospital.

No ghouls left undisturbedfor fright night in this home

Families looking for a good fright onHalloween night should not miss the spec-tacular display in North Burnaby.

Every year, Francesco Quarto and hisfather, Tony, put on an extravagant dis-play at the family home that attracts hun-dreds of spectators.

The annual tradition startedwith a display in front of thehouse, but Francesco has alsocreated a haunted house in theback.

This year’s display includes amyriad of horrid attractions, fromsevered heads, to devilish charac-ters, and ghouls that come alivearound every dark corner.

“Its frightening, exciting and very event-ful,” Francesco said. “We’re all excited. It’sthe one night we’ve all been waiting for.That’s the one night we have to put ona show. It’s a frightening experience, butit’s good.”

The more family-friendly display atthe front of the home features two tomb-stones that were used on a movie set, andFrancesco describes them as heavy dutyand realistic. There’s also a 12-foot scare-crow with eyes that light up.

Behind the home, the Quartos have cre-ated the haunted house as a fully enclosed,covered structure, so the show can go on,rain or shine. The wood-framed hauntedhouse measures roughly 1,200 square feet,and the walls are covered in black paper.

The space is filled with gory, horror-inspired props, a torture chamber, a pris-on, and a room with a Friday the 13ththeme. The Quartos also have a crew of

roughly eight or nine actors,who help animate the display,but there’s no touching of thespectators, so you won’t haveto worry about some devilish

character grabbing your anklesin the dark.

Francesco recommends kidsbe at least 12 to 13 years old to go

through the haunted house display at theback of the home.

“We want people to have fun, but wedon’t want to terrify a child for the rest oftheir life,” he said.

The Quartos have been running thedisplay for about seven years, and forthe past three, they’ve added a charitabletwist.

“I said, ‘You know, while we are hav-ing fun, why don’t we raise money for

Other than its all-inapproach to creating aliquefied natural gas

industry and talking aboutgrowing the economy, the B.C.Liberal government is not par-ticularly active when it comes toother initiatives.

It is not a government bent onfixing all kinds of things or stick-ing its nose in a lot of people’sbusiness. When the legislatureresumes sitting next February,don’t expect a heavy legislativepackage to be put before thehouse (except for bills relatingdirectly to economic measures).

But there is a big exceptionto this light touch of lawmakingthat will affect many people, andthat is the looming overhaul ofthe province’s liquor laws.

Changing the rules when itcomes to alcohol use is alwaystinged with controversy, whichis why major changes rarelyoccur. The last significant over-haul was done for the province’sExpo 86, although there has beenthe occasional tweak since then.

B.C. Liberal MLA John Yapis heading up the review. Thepublic consultation phase endsthis week, and so far Yap has

received a blizzard of feedback.The website set up for the

review has had more than 50,000hits (average stay: 10 minutes),while there have been morethan 100 email submissions andalmost 60 meetings with stake-holders.

It’s not surprising there isenormous public interest in thesubject, given the evolution ofB.C.’s laws governing alcohol.Framed against modern atti-tudes, some of the old laws seemdownright bizarre, and it wouldsurprise most people today thatthey once even existed.

For example, how manypeople know that vodka(today’s most popular distilledspirit) was banned in B.C. until1960? Or that musicwas only permitted in drinkingestablishments since 1954?

Sunday openings onlybecame legal as a pilot projectfor Expo 86, and that was theyear that import draft beer wasfirst available. Women were pre-vented from working in govern-ment liquor stores until 1962.

But some odd laws stillremain on the books, and I sus-pect many will disappear afterYap’s review becomes legisla-tion. Licensees currently can’tchange their prices during theday, which means no “happyhour” specials, a common attrac-tion in most U.S. establishments.I’m betting that rule will berelaxed.

The Red Chamber debacle sinks to new depthsIf you’re finding it difficult to keep

pace with what is now the roiling boilof our Senate scandal, you’re in goodcompany.

Three Stephen Harper-appointed senators, all accusedof misusing senate funds (andone of hitting his wife), arefacing suspension from the Senate. Butthey aren’t going down quietly.

When Senator Mike Duffy showedup to say his piece this week, he let a

few cats out of a few bags, includingthat the prime minister knew far moreabout the questionable expenses farearlier.

Pamela Wallin and PatrickBrazeau have also turnedaround to bite the hand thatonce fed them and named the

Prime Minister’s Office. The strategy onthe part of the disgraced senators seemsto be along the lines of, “If I’m goingdown, you’re going to break my fall.”

To Harper’s credit, he did showup to face questions in the House ofCommons this week, rather than haveone of his underlings take the heat forhim. He refuted Duffy’s claims, eventhough he must now admit he at leastknew what was going on, which hedenied before.

Proroguing Parliament clearly didn’twork as hoped for the Conservatives. Itremains to be seen whether the attemptsto make the bad press surrounding the

expense scandal go away will hurt themmore than the image of three Harperappointees fiddling expenses on a mas-sive scale.

Whether or not Harper survives the“What did he know, and when did heknow it?” spotlight, this whole sorrydebacle drags Canada’s upper chamberever deeper into the muck. Our primeminister once campaigned for a Senatethat was equal, elected and effective.

Does anyone care anymore?

Liquor laws maybe a minefield

MLA is failing on smart metersDear Editor:

Once again, B.C. Hydro continues to houndsmart meter holdouts with another letter, telling uswhat our choices are.

And once again, our MLA Jane Shin does nothingbut pay lip service to her constituents in response.

In her letter of Oct. 9 (MLA speaks out on smartmeters, Letters to the editor, Burnaby NOW), shesaid she has raised this issue with NDP energy criticJohn Horgan. Well, that’s fine, but there’s more shecould do.

On Thursday, Oct. 24 I phoned her office. I men-tioned to her secretary (once again no Jane avail-able) that that day was the last day to register for

intervener or interested party status with the B.C.Utilities Commission.

This is in regard to having at least some say in thepunitive rates set by B.C. Hydro for those who wishto retain their analogue meters, as well as a new feeif we don’t allow them onto our property.

I’ve registered for intervener status, but what’sstopping Jane Shin? She hasn’t registered, and hersecretary thought it was more of a personal matter.Not so personal if it affects her constituents, I said.

Once again, we have an MLA who takes herdirection from her own party only and not fromthe people who elected her. To us she offers tea andsympathy. But I guess we get what we deserve ifyou’re prepared to accept that BS.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

As well, licensed clubs(such as a legion) have toprepare their own food onsite and are not allowed tocontract that service out,which seems unreasonableif not archaic.

Did you know liquortastings can only be doneusing plastic cups insteadof glasses? Or that youcan’t take a drink from abar and into a restaurant,even if the two establish-ments are adjoining?

Most of these rules andregulations fall into the redtape category and may bemore easily dealt with thanother, more complex issuesthat have come up in thereview.

The various stakehold-ers in the liquor industry– pubs, restaurants, privateliquor stores, breweries,wineries, etc. – all havepositions on a number ofreforms they’d like to seeimplemented, or perhapsblocked. A number of themare contradictory as well.

There seems to be ageneral consensus that B.C.has enough outlets – publicand private – that dispensealcohol, although B.C.’swine and craft brewerindustries would like moreaccess and visibility in themarketplace.

But there is one hugeexception: Yap’s review hasfound the number 1 hotbutton issue is that peoplewant the convenience ofbuying wine or beer intheir local grocery story.

The idea is viewed withconsiderable alarm by pubsand private store owners,who have invested hugeamounts of capital in theiroperations and don’t wantto be threatened by a mom-and-pop grocery on thecorner.

This is just one of themore controversial issuesYap will have to addresswhen he hands in his rec-ommendations to Attorney-General Suzanne Antonnext month.

Another is that pub

owners argue the pendu-lum has swung too far infavour of restaurants andwant the playing fieldlevelled (one idea theyare pushing for: allowingminors on the premisesduring the day, to join aparent for lunch, perhaps).

Then there are themedical and law enforce-ment communities, whichunderstandably are push-ing back against any majorloosening of rules thatwould make alcohol easierto obtain.

So how far will the B.C.Liberal government go inthis sensitive area?

Talking about LNG andthe economy is easy.

But mixing alcohol withpolitics is a more potentcocktail, which is whythe government will findit easier to cut red taperather than make wholesalechanges when it comes tobooze.

Booze: Tough decisions ahead

Put blame where it belongsDear Editor:

We’re starting to hear much about thedangers of transporting oil by road orrail compared to – so the argument goes– the safer and environmentally friendlierpipeline.

Not only are the three train derailmentsin as many months used to support thisthesis, but the Fraser Institute’s very recentstatistical study concludes “resistance topipeline transport is sending oil to marketby modes of transport that pose higherrisks of spills and personal injuries such asrail and road transport.”

The implication is clear.Those opposed to pipeline construction

are responsible for creating this state ofaffairs.

But the reality is otherwise.The truth of the matter is that the tar

sands oil industry decided sometime agoto increase bitumen production despite thelack of pipelines to handle the increase.

In other words, it was the bitumenproducers that created the current safetycrisis, not those who oppose new pipelineconstruction.

If oil transport safety really was a pri-mary concern of the industry, wouldn’tthey have slowed down rather than speed-ed up bitumen production?

I mean, after all, it’s not as if the stuff isgoing to evaporate overnight.

Bill Brassington, Burnaby

THE BURNABYNOW STORY: “Compass Cards evasion loophole tipof the iceberg: Burnaby mayor” -Oct. 17Comment via BurnabyNOW.com I blueadept1: Corrigan is such a blow hard whiner.He needs to think a little bit before flinging out silly questions, complaints, and con-spiracy theories.Comment via BurnabyNOW.com I Harmel Guram: I agree with you on the conspira-cy theory part. It’s not a question of conspiracy theories when it comes to TransLinkofficials’ incompetence. The Mayor is right about the maintenance factor. TransLinkcan’t even keep escalators running. The one at Commercial-Broadway Station hasbeen out for nearly 6 months. How did they manage to leave a loophole in the faregate system? No brains, no conspiracy.Comment via BurnabyNOW.com I blueadept1: Vancouverites need to get their headsout of their a**es. No system is perfect, and asking for a perfect system would beinexplicably expensive (e.g. having a transit police officer on every vehicle). Cubichas its fare systems installed on 9 systems around the world, with many cities see-ing far greater use than Vancouver. Incompetence would be choosing to build theirown system.

It seems someone couldn’t wait untilHalloween to get their treat.

Burnaby RCMP was called to Charlie’sChocolate Factory on Canada Way on themorning of Oct. 20 after an alarm wastriggered at the store. Officers from thedepartment’s property unit and a canineteam responded to the call shortly before1 a.m.

“A passerby informed us (BurnabyRCMP) that the front door had beensmashed and he thought he heard noisesinside,” said Staff Sgt. Maj. John Buis.

When police arrived the store was emptyand nothing appeared out of place, accord-

ing to the officers’ preliminary report.“It’s unknown at this time what was

taken. Nothing (was) noted disturbedinside the business,” Buis said. “We’vegot some investigational leads that we’regoing to pursue.”

Police were, however, able to recover asurveillance video that shows the suspectinside the store. The suspect is describedas a Caucasian man, 6-1, slim build and30 to 40 years old with blond or brownhair. He was wearing a baseball hat, blackjacket, jeans and black shoes at the time ofthe break-in.

Anyone with information is asked tocontact the Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922.

After a day of pressurewashing and scrubbing,the whale mural in theKingsway-Imperial neigh-bourhood was ready to facethe world graffiti-free.

Just a few weeks afterunveiling the global muralproject, Connected Oceans,which was a concertedeffort by artist Todd Polich,of the Earth Foundation,and local youth, the muralwas defaced with a largegraffiti tag that covered itfrom top to bottom on Oct.22.

“(It) was a panic forme to see the damage thatwas done,” Polich told theBurnaby NOW. “Today(Oct. 23) was dealing withit and fixing it.”

Polich was tending tothe mural for several hours,and thanks to the coatinghe put overtop the mural,the graffiti was slowly butsurely coming right off.

“It was really fortunateI put on a lot of protec-tive coating,” he said. “I’venever had to test it. This isthe first time I had to test it.It’s holding up very, verywell.”

Polich said the compa-ny that originally donatedthe lift to paint the mural,donated it once again sohe could clean. He alsoreceived cleaning materialfor free from the commu-nity.

“I was getting text mes-sages like crazy,” he added,from people who wereoutraged about the muralbeing defaced. “It was abeautiful thing that peoplereally care and helped.

“People in the commu-nity are so happy it’s com-ing off.”

On Sept. 29, Polich andabout 60 people braved thepouring rain to unveil themural.

He worked with about18 students at the SouthBurnaby Neighbourhood

House youth leadershipgroup on the mural’s devel-opment.

In April, the City ofBurnaby gave a $3,500grant for the mural to gotowards its $9,300 cost.

As for Polich, he saidhe’s happy that the coatinghas protected the mural.

“I felt defeated yes-terday (Oct. 22). Today Ifeel much, much better,”he added. “It’s such acool project the kids gotinvolved with, Children’sHospital kids painted withus. It would be a horriblething if it couldn’t get fixed.I’m elated.”

Footlight Theatre is tak-ing a hiatus from produc-ing its annual fall musical– but the theatre companyisn’t going away.

The Burnaby theatrecompany is holding abenefit concert, Friends ofFootlight, on Sunday, Nov.3.

The star-studded con-cert will bring together acast of Footlight alumni,along with a live band, toperform many of the hitsfrom past shows, includ-ing Joseph and the AmazingTechnicolor Dreamcoat, TheSound of Music, The Wizardof Oz, Grease, A ChristmasCarol, Annie and more.

Proceeds will be usedto help Footlight TheatreCompany continue itswork producing high-cali-bre musical theatre pro-ductions.

Jane Wace, a Footlightboard member, said thedecision to not produce afall show this year wasn’ttaken lightly. She noted itcomes on the heels of fourbig shows in the previousfour years.

“They were fantasticshows, but the last couplewere extremely expensiveshows to do,” she said.

She noted that Footlight– like all other arts groups,amateur and professional– is facing a tough timefilling the seats for all itsproductions.

“In the arts these days,it’s all the same. It’s toughto present something andget bums in seats,” shesaid. “People are not going

to the theatre as much asthey used to.”

She said the board feltit wise to be cautious andhold the benefit concertinstead, in order to be ableto come back strong with amainstage show in 2014.

And, she noted, theFriends of Footlight showis shaping up to be anamazing experience.

It will include both chil-

dren and adult performers,with vignettes and songsfrom a variety of Footlightshows of the past as well asother Broadway musicals.

Michael Creber will beon hand with his profes-sional band, offering livemusic onstage.

Wace said it will be anenjoyable evening for fansof musical theatre, andit’s designed to deliver

the message: “We’re stillaround, we’re still here.”

“We’re all really excitedabout it,” she said.

Friends of Footlight ison Sunday, Nov. 3, 7 p.m.

at Michael J. Fox Theatre,7373 MacPherson Ave.

Tickets are $19, $29, $35or $75 for the Gold Circle– which includes the bestseats, plus one complimen-

tary ticket to the group’s2014 mainstage show.

Tickets can be purchasedonline at www.ticketstonight.ca. For more, visitwww.footlight.ca.

City Sharcs take on waste energy

There are many urban mythsabout what lurks in the sewers,but you wouldn’t expect to finda Sharc.

However, if it is up toInternational WastewaterSystems, the sewers will be fullof Sharcs in the near future.

The Burnaby company isselling its sewage Sharc, whichstands for sewage heat recov-ery, to building owners anddevelopers to stop renewableenergy from “going down thedrain,” instead using that ener-gy to heat and cool buildings.

While it is a subject thatmakes many people squirm,CEO Lynn Mueller admits, theenergy that can retrieved fromwastewater is far too useful tolet a little squeamishness get inthe way, he says.

“The strange part of it wasthat everybody seemed to rec-ognize there was a tremendousamount of energy that goesdown the drain, but didn’t real-ly want to have anything to do

with it because it’s kind of anasty bit of business there,” hesays.

Sewage isn’t what most peo-ple expect, Mueller says. It is 97to 98 per cent water, with two tothree per cent solids.

“It isn’t a turd on a beachblanket with a mai tai floating tothe sewage plant,” he explains.“It’s just dirty waterbubbling by.”

The Sharc systemtemporarily inter-cepts the sewageflow before it leavesa building andcleans it, and thenputs it through aninterface with a heatexchanger to eithertake heat out of theline or, in the case ofair conditioning, putheat back in, Muellersays.

“Any time you’re just mov-ing heat and not creating it, it’smuch more efficient,” he adds.“We operate at 500 to 600 percent efficiency.”

Mueller, who has worked inthe sustainable energy field for25 years, began thinking aboutthe possibility of reusing waste-water energy after he witnessedthe effects of climate change

firsthand, he says.Years ago, he was a refrig-

eration mechanic who travelledthrough the Arctic.

“I used to go to these vil-lages in the Arctic, now, thesesame villages are under water,”Mueller says. “I personally seethe effect of climate change, butI never thought I would in my

lifetime.”His family is

very sustainabil-ity-minded, hesays, and his fourchildren keep himfocused on envi-ronmentally sus-tainable solutions.

“Now I’m 60years old, so Ireally want to dosomething to makean impact on theworld, and this

really does,” Mueller says. “Toreuse energy is probably themost direct impact that I canever have on the world.”

The company began creatingtest units of its sewage filtrationand heat recovery systems threeyears ago.

At first, potential clientsseemed reluctant to use the sys-tem as it was a new concept, butduring the past two years the

test units have been extremelyeffective and efficient, so peopleare jumping on board, Muellersays.

“The response now is abso-lutely overwhelming,” he says,adding the company onlyrecently began marketing theunits – though they alreadyhave units in the Sail condomin-ium project at UBC, the Seven35 building in North Vancouverand the Gateway Theatre inRichmond – and has five moreconfirmed sales in Vancouverand 40 new sales from aroundthe world.

The company, located inBurnaby Heights, has a distri-bution network across Canada,the United States, the U.K. andAustralia.

The systems are self-cleaningand are also closely monitoredby the company, which pro-vides servicing for the lifetimeof the units – about 40 years,he says.

The company is rampingup staff and working on thesystems to prepare for futuregrowth, according to Mueller.

“We want to be a $250-mil-lion company within the next 10years,” he says.

For more information, go towww.sewageheatrecovery.com.

Under control: An International Wastewater Systems employee checks out the DDC system controls for thecompany’s sewage Sharc system, which includes a touch screen interface, data logging and remote monitoringcapability. The Sharc system temporarily intercepts sewage flow before it leaves a building and cleans it, and thenputs it through an interface with a heat exchanger to either take heat out or, in the case of air conditioning, put heatback in.

BY CHRISTINA MYERSFarmland and forestspeckled with patches ofdevelopment: that wasBurnaby in 1943. Phonecalls were still connectedthrough a manualswitchboard, cars madetheir way through the cityon roads that were mostly– but not always – paved,and families worriedand wondered abouttheir loved ones servingoverseas in the war.The post-war growthboom was still ahead– and a serious boom itwould be: in ’43, therewas an estimated 33,000people calling the cityhome, but by 1954, thatnumber would morethan double to a total of75,000 residents.Fortunately that boomwas already beingconsidered and the callhad begun for the cityto have its own medicalfacilities. That year, onJuly 14, the BurnabyHospital Fund Committeewas formed to work ongathering informationand ideas, raising moneyand beginning the longprocess of what wouldeventually lead to theopening of BurnabyHospital.From the very start,the effort was one led,driven and fueled by the

very people who woulduse the facility: localresidents.Men and womencanvassed door-to-door, spreading wordof the project and thefundraising efforts, whilesmall groups around thecity contributed throughbake sales, raffles andgarden parties. Earlyauxiliary groups workedendlessly in supportingthe project.Even the youngest cityresidents got involved inthe project.According to historicalrecords, a suggestionwent out among the localpublic schools – still onlycomprising a handful ofschools throughout theyoung city - to rally thecity’s students. Each pupilwas asked to donate fivecents to be used towardsthe costs of furnishing award.When all was said anddone, $1,500 was raisedthrough students,teachers and staff –enough to cover the costof furnishing a completeward.But furnishing wardscame only after years ofplanning and preparation.Though organizing beganin 1943, it wasn’t until1950 that the official “sod

turning” took place onSmith Avenue, and 1952before doors opened atthe new hospital, with125 beds. An estimated8,000 people toured thehospital during its officialopening – the populationof the city was about58,000 – and the buildingitself was a simplerectangular structuresitting atop a hill, mostlysurrounded by farmland.Though small by today’scomparison, that facilitywas Canada’s largestsuburban hospital and itwas, from the beginning,much in demand.Within two days ofadmitting its first patient,the first baby was born inthe building (nearly 100babies would be bornthere that first year) and,by 1953, the facility wasoperating at full capacity.From there, the hospital’srole in the communityonly continued to grow.In 1959, the CentennialWing was opened,doubling the hospital’scapacity to 250 beds.The level of expertiseand care available tolocal residents increasedtoo: in ’62, patients whohad previously had totravel to Vancouver fororthopaedic surgerieswere able to stay inBurnaby as surgical

capabilities expanded.Later, vascular andthoracic surgeries wouldbe added to the criticalcare capacity, and newtechnologies are addedthrough the help offundraising efforts.The building itself keptgrowing, too. Another147 beds were addedin a new extended carewing in 1973, and thenanother 500 beds in 1977with the opening of theacute care tower.As the hospitalapproached 30 yearsof operation, thephenomenal growth ofboth the facility andthe city was clear: in1982, more than 15,000patients were admittedto the hospital and morethan 1,000 staff workedin the facility. In all,1,500 babies were bornthat year – comparedto 98 in its first year ofoperation.Another major milestonewas celebrated in1982: the BurnabyHospital Foundationwas established as thefacility’s official charitableorganization.The foundation isstill today an integralcomponent of the careand work done at thehospital, as it raisesfunds to support the

highest priority needsand supports the staffin improving quality andeffectiveness of care.The first auxiliary groupsthat worked to get theproject going during the1940s are still hard atwork: now known as theAuxiliary to the BurnabyHospital, the group ofvolunteer members hasdonated more than $2million to the foundationand hospital over theyears.In 1992, the hospitalopened its palliative careprogram for terminallyill patients and in 1993,the hospital’s regionalcancer centre openedwith a grant from theMinistry of Health. Asmedical advancementscontinue, the need forever-newer equipmentcontinues: in 2008, a new$1.4 million CT scannerwas introduced and, in2009, a $4.85 millionMRI unit was opened withfunds raised throughcommunity donations,the province and theKeith & Betty BeedieFoundation.The last several decadeshave continued in thesame fashion as the firstfew: growth, growthand more growth – andcontinued support fromthe community. And

that’s unlikely to changeany time soon.“Burnaby Hospital’shistory is built upona strong spirit ofphilanthropy, evident inthe fact that the dreamto build a hospital inBurnaby began in theearly 1940s with a groupof concerned citizens,”says Cheryl Carline,president and CEO ofthe Burnaby HospitalFoundation. “Lookingback, I don’t think thisgroup of concernedcitizens could everimagine how much ourcommunity would changeand grow—demandingmore of its communityhospital than ever before.… It is clear there ismuch work ahead of us.As we move forward, I amgrateful to those who goabove and beyond to helpus make Burnaby Hospitalthe best it can be.”See www.bhfoundation.ca/60years/ for moreinformation about thehospital’s history.Historical informationprovided by BurnabyHospital and HospitalFoundation, and throughCity of Burnaby archivalresources. •

BY CHRISTINA MYERSIf you’ve spent your lifecommitted to giving back,there is likely no betterway to be rememberedthan in a manner thatcontinues – and honours– that tradition.For Jyanwati Nath, makinga donation to the BurnabyHospital ER departmentafter the passing of herhusband was a valuableway to help keep hiscommunity-minded spiritalive, and to recognizethe care he receivedthere.“It was very, veryimportant to us to dothis, because it was away to give somethingback to the (emergencydepartment) where myhusband was taken careof so well and so manytimes,” said Nath.She notes thatGyanendra, who passedaway in April 2012 at theage of 80, had varioushealth complicationsthrough his final years,but she believes thatthe care he got in the ERon multiple occasions

significantly extendedhis life – and his abilityto enjoy his family andcontinue doing the thingshe enjoyed.“It absolutely gave himextra life. I think he gotan extra seven yearsprobably,” she said.She says that one of themost notable componentsof the care in the ERwas how quickly andefficiently different areasof specialty could becoordinated to assessand treat.But it wasn’t just thecare he got there thatmotivated the familyto donate more than$10,000 to the ward:it was also a life-longand firm belief in theimportance of givingback and supporting thecommunity wheneverpossible.Nath says she and herhusband both believedstrongly in the value ofvolunteering and lendinga hand, from helping toraise funds to pitching inon community projects.

“We really appreciateCanada,” she said. “Wecame here (in the 1960s)when Asian migration toother countries was veryrestricted – England, NewZealand, Australia – butCanada welcomed usand we remember thatalways.”Both husband and wife(originally from India andFiji) originally worked ineducation in Vancouver– Gyanendra was a well-known secondary schoolteacher at Killarneyfor much of his career– and, through the years,volunteered in a varietyof capacities in Vancouverand later in Burnaby.Giving back and gettinginvolved was also a lifelesson that sunk in fortheir three children, nowadults with children oftheir own.Nath’s daughter RaginiKapil – who followed inher parents’ footstepsinto the education field– says some of herearliest memories involvevolunteering at a localhospital with her siblings

and going door-to-dooras canvassers for variousfundraising efforts.“We’ve just alwaysbeen involved, and thatexample came from bothmy parents,” she notes.“It was just part of whatthey stood for and whatthey wanted us to learn.”She says the decision todonate the money reflectsthe family’s gratitudefor the care he receivedover the years, but alsothe values that were so

important to her father.“I think (my mom) feltvery, very grateful forthe help that had beenprovided by the ER staffand I think she wantedto help make it betterfor other people, for thefuture,” says Kapil.The donation wasarranged about sixmonths after Gyanendrahad passed away.“It was still very difficult,a difficult thing to do at

that time,” says Nath.“But (the foundation)made it easy to come andfigure out how I wantedto do it, and where Iwanted the donation togo.”“It brought such a closure– it made us feel good toknow we had done it.”Nath says she hopes thatothers will feel compelledto think about how toget involved in theircommunity and givingback.•

Honouring a life well livedFamily donated funds in honour of loved one

Jai Mathur has had twosignificant experienceswith Burnaby Hospital:the first, he can’tremember and thesecond, he’ll neverforget.Mathur, a high schoolstudent at West PointGrey, was born in thelocal facility 17 years ago.Last year, he wasbrought to the ER interrible pain – froman appendix he wouldlater learn was withina half hour of bursting– and had an emergencyappendectomy performedthere.They were both, he says,

“milestone experiences”- the latter an event thatmost likely saved his life.Mathur had beentraveling fromAmsterdam to Vancouver,returning from an eventin Prague with his highschool debate team inAugust 2012.By the time helanded, “the pain hadoverwhelmed my entireabdomen, cripplingme with each passingsecond,” he wrote ina letter published ina Burnaby HospitalFoundation publicationearlier this year, as partof the 60 Years of Caringcelebration.

He notes he went aheadhome, took some Advilsand tried to tough it out,but by morning he wasunable to move.His parents rushedhim to the emergencydepartment at BurnabyHospital.From there, the teamat the hospital quicklyassessed him and, assoon as possible, he wasmoved to an operatingroom.A lifelong fear of surgeryhad him distressed, buthe says the staffhelped calm him,explain what would behappening, and walk him

through the process.“They will forever have aspecial place in my heart,and I am appreciative tothem beyond words,” hewrote.Had the appendixruptured, the surgerycould have been muchmore challenging– in part because it wasdiscovered afterwardsthat there was a tumour

on the organ – and quitelikely life threatening.“I’m honestly not evensure if I would still behere today,” he said in avideo segment on www.bhfoundation.com.“(I want to say) a bigthank you from thebottom of my heart. …There’s no words I’ll beable to tell them howgrateful I am.”

Burnaby Hospital’semergency departmentsees about 70,000patients visits eachyear (about 30 per centof those are from EastVancouver residents,most of the remainderfrom Burnaby residents.)In all, the hospitalconducts about 10,000surgeries each year, andhas more than 200,000patient visits.•

Kaitlin Cheung may be only 11 yearsold, but she has already achieved morethan many actors much older.

The young Burnaby actor is in thePhilippines shooting the upcoming fea-ture film Hope Rises, in which she has theleading role. Kaitlin – who was a recipientof the 2011 Young Artist Award for herperformance in the short film The PerfectGift for Flora – stars in director David Bolt’sstory, inspired by his work with the BringMe Hope Foundation. The foundation’smission is to improve the lives of Chineseorphans.

Hope Rises tells the story of youngHope, whose poverty-stricken and des-perate father sells her into slavery. Duringa crackdown on the gang with which she isbeing held, an American filmmaker namedNate meets Hope for the first time. Amidthe chaos of the gang crackdown, Hopeflees and must fend for herself, eventuallyforming a family with some other streetkids. She and Nate later reunite and forgea bond.

Bolt collaborated with Brian Godawaon the story and screenplay, along withAustin Sheeley on the screenplay.

“The story of the Chinese orphandeserves to be told,” Bolt said in the pressrelease. “What Hope Rises has to contributeto that story has been gleaned from nearlya decade of firsthand work with discardedchildren. This film can save an orphanfrom a lifetime of pain and that, in 11words, is how it came to be.”

Kaitlin has worked on several other

films, including And The Fish Can Fly,Frank, Melman, Ensconce Us, Trees andMinisters of Human Fate. She also has arole as a dancer in the upcoming featurefilm Heart of Dance, which chronicles ahigh school senior’s quest to fulfil herlate younger sister’s dream of becominga dancer.

Fraser Health encouraging seniorsto get flu shots for themselvesT urkey dinners,

Halloween, schoolrecitals and flu shots? Thereare many great reasonsto get the whole familytogether at this time of theyear, but did you know thatflu shots are another goodreason? While watchingthe wee ones in your familyput on a costume maybe more fun than a pokein the arm, making sureeveryone in your family isprotected for flu seasonmeans you can all enjoymore activities together.The flu shot is you and yourfamily’s best defense forpreventing the flu.

Influenza is a virus infectionof the upper airway, andcan lead to symptoms offever, headache, fatigueand cough. Complicationsfrom influenza, such aspneumonia, are morecommon in the elderly andthose with heart, lung orother health conditions.

An estimated 4,000 to8,000 Canadians, mainlyseniors, die every year fromcomplications of influenzainfection. Influenza iseasily spread from personto person, and an infectedperson can spread thevirus before they evenknow that they are sick.Toprevent this spread, free flushots are now available forseniors and for everyone intheir household.

This year, seniors 65 yearsand older and those livingin long-term care facilities,will again be receivingFluad flu vaccine.This isan adjuvanted influenzavaccine, and a recent studyconducted by Fraser Healthfound it can be moreeffective than the regularflu shot in the elderly. Freeflu shots are available forthe rest of the family, andnew this year, children twoto 17 years of age can getthe nasal spray flu

vaccine, Flumist.

Solara convertible best for safe driving fun

Dear Tom and Ray:I want one more crack at

a convertible, having had awonderful Dodge Dart con-vertible in earlier years (itwas stolen in Detroit whenI left it with a company toreplace the top and theyparked it on the street – boohoo!).

Background: I’m 93 years

old, drive a 2000 SubaruOutback (also a great carbut has high mileage anda roof). I have extensivedriving experience – acrossthe country twice, 3,300miles last summer (MillValley, California; Durango,Colorado; Moab, Utah; acrossNevada and back home).No arrests, no accidents, noproblems (so far).

What would you recom-mend for a secondhand,moderately priced, safe (airbags), serviceable and funconvertible?

Many thanks for yourassistance. I’ve loved yourcolumn and radio show formany years.

– Anne

RAY: Well, first I have toask if you’d accept a mar-riage proposal from mybrother. He’s been lookingfor someone like you eversince Wife No. 2 changedthe locks.TOM: I see you in aPorsche Turbo Carerra,Anne – as long as I’m notmaking the payments. I’vemade enough “payments”already, if you know whatI mean!RAY: Actually, the car thatfirst comes to mind foryou is the Toyota CamrySolara. It’s basically aCamry with two doors anda convertible top.TOM: There are severalthings that make me think

the Solara is the convert-ible for you.

First, it’s based on theToyota Camry, whichmeans it’ll be durable, reli-able, ergonomically prac-tical and easy to service.RAY: Second, it’s alittle bigger than someof the sportier convert-ible alternatives, like theMazda Miata, the MiniCooper or the VW GolfConvertible. And if you’redriving across the country,it’s nice to have a littleroom for your belongingsand not feel cramped.

Plus a slightly larger carwill feel more stable on theinterstate at high speeds.Not to mention that size

often adds some measureof safety if you do have anaccident.TOM: Third, the Solara’sa little higher off theground than those othercars. That means you canget into it without havingto “fall” down into thedriver’s seat, or rappelback out of the car witha grappling hook. Thatalso means you’ll see bet-ter when you’re driving. Ithought of the Mustang foryou, too. But you sit prettylow in the Mustang’s seat,and I don’t know how tallyou are (you didn’t men-tion a playing career inthe WNBA), but you mayfeel a little bit like you’re

sitting in a bathtub whendriving the Mustang.RAY: Finally, it’s an easycar to drive. Yeah, itdoesn’t corner at 90 m.p.h.like a Porsche, but it won’trequire constant vigilanceon your part to keep it inits lane, either. And withthe top down on a niceday, any car is fun.TOM: I don’t know whatyou consider affordable,Anne, but for $15 or $20grand, you can pick up avery nice used Solara. Irecommend red. Send us apicture, and enjoy it!

Kevin Marshall ledthe D with eight tack-les and one interception.Middle linebacker NoahUsherwood also had apick, seven stops and twoquarterback sacks. DartheCappelan also sacked theQB on two separate occa-sions.

“It was a nice finish forour defence to not allowany points,” said STM headcoach Bernie Kully. “Ourdefence is much improvedover the last few weeks. …Usherwood, Marshall andJordan Mackenzie makeour defence work. Theyare all athletic, disciplinedand great tacklers. … Threeguys on our defensive line(Raf Posypanko, DariusMackay and Cappelan)also deserve full marksover the last two weeks.”

Shane Noel scoredtwo touchdowns for theKnights on 89 yards rush-ing, while Andrew Flettalso scored on the ground.J.J. Deslauriers had 62yards receiving, includinga TD.

The win moved STMinto a first-place tie withLord Tweedsmuir follow-ing that school’s 21-10 lossto Terry Fox last weekend.
