Group says city business taxes too highBurnabys businesses pay four times

the amount of property taxes on thesame-sized properties that residents do,according to a report from the CanadianFederation of Independent Businesses.

The report on the 2009 tax rates came

out just three weeks before Burnabys 2010property taxes are due on July 5.

The report was released on Tuesday.Burnaby is the 11th worst municipal-

ity out of 160 in B.C., said Brian Bonney,B.C. director for the federation.

Residents paid $3,293 on a propertyworth $692,205 in 2009, according to thereport, and businesses paid $13,163 on

properties of the same worth.Most local business owners agree that

businesses should pay more in taxes,Bonney explained, but feel the large dis-crepancy in the rates is unfair.

Forty-two per cent of business ownersin the study felt that they should pay up todouble the residential rates.

They want to pay their way, Bonney

said. But its about whats fair.Part of the problem for small to medi-

um businesses is that the recession also hitthem hard, he added.

Many small business owners did notpay themselves over the past year in aneffort to keep their employees, Bonneysaid.

THE POWER OF PAPER IN YOUNG HANDS

Three people were stabbed at agathering at a residence in the 6600-block of Dufferin Avenue Mondaynight, just after midnight.

Burnaby RCMP responded to areport of two women, 17 and 22years old, being stabbed and discov-ered a third victim, an 18-year-oldman, at the scene.

A 22-year-old female is facingcharges of aggravated assault inconnection to the stabbings.

She is related to one of the vic-tims, according to Cpl. BrendaGresiuk, spokesperson for theBurnaby RCMP.

All the people involved kneweach other, she added.

It was a small gathering at ahouse, and something went terriblywrong, Gresiuk said, adding thatthe young ages of the victims makethe incident particularly unfortu-nate.

All three victims sustained non-life threatening injuries and willbe released from hospital today,Gresiuk said.

Alcohol was a factor in the stab-bings, she said, and many of thepeople at the gathering were intoxi-cated.

6 Liberals take a hit 13 Helping in Haiti 14 Opera in concert

First they hit the 10 per cent mark,now theyre in the safe zone. The anti-HST petition has garnered 15 per centof signatures in all of B.C.s 85 electoraldistricts.

The news came following the cam-paigns latest signature counts from lastweekend.

These are amazing numbers andprove unequivocally that BritishColumbians of every persuasion rejectthe HST, said Chris Delaney, lead orga-nizer for Fight HST.

Petition canvassers had until July5 to collect 10 per cent of signatures inthe provinces electoral ridings for thepetition to go to the next step. They wereaiming for 15 per cent to be on the safeside in case some of the signatures arenot valid.

Delaney said Burnaby did reallywell.

I think there was only one (rid-ing) that was somewhat behind, whichwas Burnaby-Deer Lake, and they hittheir target last weekend, he said, add-ing that the other three ridings alreadycleared 15 per cent. Burnaby did amaz-ing when you consider they to startedkind of late.

Canvasserswill keep at it until June 27and then submit the petition to ElectionsB.C. for review on June 30, about a weekahead of schedule.

Delaney said while he knew veryearly on that there was a huge publicbacklash against the tax, anti-HST orga-nizers werent sure if they could sustainpublic interest in the campaign over athree-month period.

What kept the momentum goingwas the Liberal government itself, hesaid, adding that people became angrierevery time Premier Gordon Campbelland Finance Minister Colin Hansen triedto defend the tax. That actually playedto our benefit.

Blair Lekstroms recent resignationfrom the Liberal party because of publicopposition to theHST gave the campaignanother shot in the arm, Delaney said.

Delaney is urging the provincial gov-ernment to drop the HST as soon as pos-sible. The 12 per cent harmonized tax isscheduled to take effect July 1.

City wants garbage eco-equity

City plans park pooch patrols

Burnaby city council is asking thatMetroVancouvers waste plan be revised to pro-vide funding to cities that already haveeco-centres.

Council is also asking that MetroVancouver give preference to regionaloperators for any new waste management

facility for the region, but did not specifywhether or not Burnaby would prefer anincinerator or land fill option for the newfacility.

Were asking, for the Eco-Centres, forthere to be equity there, said Coun, DanJohnston, chair of the environment com-mittee.

Under Metro Vancouvers proposedplan, recycling drop-off depots, or Eco-

Centres, would be established in eachregion.

Burnaby is asking that municipalitieswith current recycling drop-off depots, suchas Burnaby, be given funding to upgradethe facilities as well.

I think we should get a similar deal towhat they (other municipalities, such asSurrey) are getting, Johnston said.

METRO VANCOUVER WASTE PLAN


Waste Page 5

Burnabys parks, recreation and culturedepartment will be conducting animal con-trol patrols in Burnaby parks this summer,according to director Dave Ellenwood.

The department has hired on a part-timeauxiliary person. The cost for the positionis about $25,000, which is what the depart-ment was paying the Burnaby branch of theB.C. Society for the Prevention of Cruelty toAnimals to conduct the summer patrols inpast years, he said.

Were going to take them on now.

The new position means that the patrolswill bemore adaptable, and the staff personcan visit parks in the evenings or on week-days, and respond to specific complaints,Ellenwood added.

In the past, the B.C. SPCA would patrolthe parks from July 1 to Labour Day on afive-day rotating schedule.

The departments patrols will run fromApril 30 through September 20, with arotating schedule covering day shifts, after-noon shifts and weekends.

Often when dog owners are approachedby patrollers about local bylaws, they willsay they cant see the signage in the park,

Ellenwood said.Parks staff can remedy that by making

the signage more visible, while the SPCAcould not, and had to put calls into theparks department.

The most common complaints thedepartment receives involve dogs off leash,owners not picking up after their dogs,dogs on sports fields and trails, and louddogs at dog parks.

Currently parks receiving the mostattention are Ron McLean, David Gray,Deer Lake, Robert Burnaby, Barnet Beach

It would cost $300,000 tofund three additional full-time staff to accommodatethe regions goal of recy-cling 70 per cent of wastematerials, according to areport from the environ-ment committee.

The region is also badlyin need of a new wastefacility. Burnaby council isasking the regional govern-ment to give local compa-nies preference when look-ing for a new operator.

The incinerator or land-fill, whatever option theygo with, should be run bysomeonewithin the region,Johnston said.

The issue of whether alandfill or incineratorwouldbe best for the region hasbeen a hot topic as MetroVancouver has conductedpublic consultations in itsintegrated solid waste andresource management plan.

Johnston pointed outthat landfills are rarely pop-ular and trying to establisha new one in the region hasbeen challenging.

He would prefer somekind of recovery system butdid not specifically back anadditional incinerator in theregion.

The city currently hasMetro Vancouvers onlywaste-to-energy incinerator,located in South Burnaby.

Johnstonpointedout thatthe air quality standards atthe Burnaby incinerator arethree times what they werewhen the facility opened.

Mayor Derek Corriganwas not available for com-ment on the issue.

Metro Vancouvers ini-

tial managementplan draft favoursa waste-to-energyincinerator andhas responded toworldwide criti-cism of the incin-erators on its web-site.

The final publicconsultation takesplace tomorrow inNew Westminster,at the Fraser RiverDiscovery Centre at 788Quayside Dr.

The one consistent factorthat distinguished the B.C.Liberal government fromits two predecessors has beenshattered with the bolt-from-the-blue resignation of BlairLekstrom from the governmentcaucus.

From 1986 to 1991,B.C. was governedby political partiesthat found themselves mired ininternal problems that eventu-ally boiled over into public view.The result for both the SocialCredit and the New DemocraticParty administrations was even-tual total collapse.

Both parties took out theirown leaders. Bill Vander Zalm,Mike Harcourt and, to a lesserdegree, Glen Clark all had tostep aside prematurely as theirown people broke ranks withtheir leadership.

But this long-running narra-tive suddenly changed with theelection of Gordon Campbelland the B.C. Liberals in 2001. Forthe past nine years, the admin-istration has been able to holditself together through scandaland controversy with little evi-dence of internal dissent.

Some high-profile people(Carole Taylor, Christy Clarkand Gary Collins being the mostnotable) left the government,but their departures were notattached to any publicly voiceddispleasure about policies orleadership.

But Lekstroms sudden res-

ignation changes things. For thefirst time, a credible memberof the B.C. Liberals has partedways publicly with his partyand his leader (Lekstrom oncevoted against a government billthat tore up a health unions col-

lective agreement, butthats small potatoescompared to quittingthe caucus).

The question now: Will any-one else from the caucus followhis lead? Will any other LiberalMLA opt out of what appears,for now at least, a car headingover a cliff?

Lekstroms motivations forhis resignation have been ques-tioned. He says hes leaving overhow the HST has been handled,insisting the government shouldpull back from implementing itand embark on a six-month con-sultation process.

But some think hes reallypreparing to run federally forthe Conservatives in the nextelection or is even thinking ofheading up a third provincialparty. Hes neatly disassociatedhimself from the dreaded HST(even though he voted to repealthe provincial sales tax, whichclears the decks for bringing inthe HST), which should help hispolitical future.

But whatever his reasons,Lekstroms move has thrustthe very real grumbling withingovernment into the public spot-light.

Hatred is not contained by geographic linesIts a boundary that wed like to

believe means something, but it reallydoesnt at least not where hate is con-cerned.

A Statistics Canada report says thatVancouver leads the way inhate-crime and gay-bashing inCanada. According to figuresreleased on Monday police-reported hate crimes in Vancouveralmost doubled from 79 in 2007 to 143 in2008 including 34 attacks motivated bythe attackers homophobia. Vancouver

and Hamilton reported the highestrates among Canadas 10 largest cities.So, wed like to believe that being inBurnaby were a lot more inclusive andenlightened than our neighbours to the

west. But were afraid that iswishful thinking. Racism, anti-Semitism and homophobiaare not contained exclusively

in municipal boundaries. In fact, hatetravels. One only has to dally at a localSkyTrain station to hear the multipleracist and homophobic slurs. Make that

an evening after a late-night sportingevent, and the level of verbal hatredis shocking. Not to mention the anti-woman slurs which are another edito-rial entirely.

Do those verbal assaults always trans-form into physical attacks? Certainlynot. But it does offer a real insight intowhat has become acceptable in publicplaces.

Part of the rise in reports may be dueto the Vancouver Police Departmentsrecord for taking such things seriously.

Victims are more likely to report crimesif they are listened to. Perhaps its acombination of a more inclusive policeforce and more hate crimes. Perhapstougher times bring out the worst insome folks. Those who feel disenfran-chised and angry often look for theeasy target.

Society is doing a much better jobof protecting those targets through thecourts be they women, children orminorities. But it appears that there isstill much to do.

Unified Liberalfront takes a hit

Environmental oversight lackingDear Editor:

Petroleum from the Chevron oil refinery atBurrard Inlet has been seeping through the groundsince at least April, when the company claims tohave informed the Ministry of Environment.

But the general public didnt learn about the leakuntil late May, when it was reported in the news.

More than a week later, the B.C. Liberals stilldont seem to know when the seepage began, wherethe petroleum is coming from or how much petro-leum has contaminated the soil and Burrard Inlet.

Burnaby residents deserve to know exactly whenthe B.C. Liberal government found out about theseepage, why the government didnt tell them aboutthe ongoing incident and why the B.C. Liberal gov-

ernment still doesnt have a grasp of the situation.The B.C. Liberal government has cut the protec-

tion branch of the Ministry of Environment by 34per cent since 2008 and has relied on self-reportingfrom Chevron.

The governments capacity to be on the groundand properly oversee and manage containment andrecovery has greatly diminished.

The incident in the Gulf of Mexico should be awarning that the B.C. government must have theability to make sure these sorts of incidents donthappen, and if they do, they are contained quickly.

Another incident at the oil refinery or a spill dueto the greater amount of oil being transported in theinlet could be catastrophic.

New Democrats andtheir anti-HST allies aresalivating at what they seeas an eventual avalancheof dissent, as one LiberalMLA after another boltsfrom their leader.

But I wonder howmany will actually take thegiant step that Lekstromhas taken. For one thing,quitting a caucus consignsan MLA to near-oblivionstatus.

And leaving the caucusmay not ensure an MLA isstill electable in 2013, justbecause he or she has bro-ken ranks with the HST.

However, we are inuncharted waters rightnow. Trying to predict thepolitical future of govern-ment MLAs is a foolserrand these days.

What is really unknownis the depth of loyalty cer-tain newly elected MLAshave to Campbell and theB.C. Liberal brand. These

are the people to keep aneye on. Rookie B.C. LiberalMLAs such as John Slater,Pat Pimm, Terry Lake, EricFoster, Donna Barnett andDon McRae appear to bemost vulnerable to suc-cessful recall campaigns.

For the most part, theyrepresent rural ridingsthat encompass regionsthat once voted for theold federal Reform Partyin large numbers and areparticularly incensed overthe HST.

It is these MLAs whowill feel the most pressurein the weeks ahead, and ifthey are staring down thebarrel at recall or certaindefeat in 2013, they maytake a walk from the cau-cus.

If just two of them quit,they could join Lekstromand fellow independentMLA Vicki Huntingtonand gain official party sta-tus in the legislature. Thatcould provide the basis on

which to build a crediblethird-party alternative inthis province.

But I wouldnt betthe farm on anyone elseleaving just yet. Theresgoing to be a lot of hand-holding occurring in theB.C. Liberal caucus in theweeks ahead, as the pre-mier and senior cabinetministers try to calm thewaters and implore every-one to stick together.

They will all bewatched closely over thesummer.

Lekstrom has openedthe door to a path thatcould see the governmentfall apart, or he has simplyconsigned himself to thelonely life of an indepen-dent MLA.

Either way, the daysof a concrete unified frontappear to be over for theB.C. Liberals.

Liberals: Lekstrom takes giant step

Moving tenters is nosolution to homelessnessDear Editor:

Re: Police to remove vagrants, BurnabyNOW, June 12.

Once again, Mayor Derek Corrigandemonstrates his inability to understandpublic finance or progressive social pol-icy.

Ourmayor proposes to pay cityworkersand RCMP officers to move the home-less from Central Park and to remove theirtemporary shelters from the forest, whenhe could instead use these funds to findthe homeless proper shelter in Burnaby sothat they would move themselves.

How shortsighted can he be?Presumably Mayor Corrigan has calcu-

lated the full potential costs of his plan. Orperhaps not. In which case local taxpayersshould be demanding refunds.

Your reporter, Ms. Fuller-Evans, notesthat Burnaby has a bylaw prohibitingovernight camping in Burnaby parks. Theimplication is that this bylaw offers legalcover for the removals.

Such bylaws did not help the City ofVictoria. Your readers may recall that, inOctober 2008, when Victoria attempted to

enforce its bylaws against erecting tempo-rary shelters in public parks (by removingan offending tent city) the residents of thetent city challenged the constitutionalityof these bylaws in B.C. Supreme Court and won.

In December 2009, the Court of Appealaffirmed that judgement, noting thatVictoria can prohibit constructed shel-ters in its parks only when there areenough local shelter beds available for alllocal homeless persons.

At such times the bylaws can revert totheir original wording and be found con-stitutional.

Mayor Corrigan knows that Burnabyhosts no emergency shelter beds.

He should understand that Burnabymay be wide open to legal challenge ifhe goes ahead with his action to removethe homeless and their temporary sheltersfrom Central Park.

Why not simply spare long-sufferingcity taxpayers the cost of litigating againstprecedent (now affirmed in the Court ofAppeal) and instead use the money tobring Burnaby into the 21st century byputting civic funds into a local emergencyshelter?G. Bruce Friesen, organization chair, B.C. Green

Small businesses did everything theycould to hold on to staff.

He called property taxes profit-insen-sitive.

If it was income-dependent, business-es wouldnt worry, Bonney said.

One Burnaby business owner, whowould not speak to the press, told Bonneyhis municipal taxes went up by 30 per cent,and the business had to lay off an appren-tice because of it, he said.

According to the federations statistics,85 per cent of businesses in Burnaby have

fewer than five staff members.The federation would like municipali-

ties to cap the property tax at two toone and freeze property taxes on busi-ness properties. It is asking the provincialgovernment to enact legislation requiringmunicipalities that have not done so toreduce business property taxes by 2012.

Mayor Derek Corrigan was not avail-able for comment on Burnabys propertytaxes before press time.

and Burnaby Heightsparks, according to a reportEllenwood sent to citycouncil.

Burnaby Heights Parkwasmentioned in aBurnabyNOW story, which ran onMay 1 (Dog owner irateover warnings).

Dog owner SeanMacLeay was upset thatwarnings about havingdogs off-leash were beingissued in the park, which isslated to have a dog park inthe near future.

Burnaby Heights resi-dent Lyle Reid respondedto that article, saying dogowners at the park wereirresponsible.

Large, aggressive dogswere let off-leash in thearea, Reid said in a phoneinterview after the articleran.

He pointed out thatthere is a childrens play-ground at the park, andhe said off-leash dogs wererunning around the kids.

Dog owners did not fol-low the local bylaw signsposted at the park, headded.

They run roughshodover them, Reid said.Theyre not obeying thelaw.

In the first nine days ofthe new patrol program,the patrol spoke with 167dog owners and a numberof regular park users with-out dogs, the parks reportstated.

Under the new adjudi-cation system, parks staffcan issue fines, but that isonly used as a last resort,Ellenwood said.

Staff at the B.C. SPCA,which just had its contractwith the city renewed forthree more years, wouldnot confirm it would nolonger be conducting thepatrols before press time.

The new contract,which runs until December2012, pays the B.C. SPCA$494,320 this year for ser-vices as the citys shelter

operator.This is a seven per cent

increase over last year,due to a Consumer PriceIndex increase and a newmanagement fee, accord-ing to a report from thefinance department, which

was presented to council atMonday nights meeting.

The B.C. SPCA servicesinclude operating the shel-ter, enforcingbylaws, inves-tigating animal attacks, car-ing for injured animals andremoving dead animals

from city streets, as wellas selling dog licences onbehalf of the city.

The shelter is open tothe public from 9 a.m. to6 p.m. Monday to Fridayand 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. onweekends.

15 Healthwise

Alex Wong leans back on thecouch with a coffee in the loungearea near the front entrance ofVancouver General Hospital.With his spiky black hair andcalm demeanour, the 28-year-oldintensive care unit nurse recallshis recent trip to Haiti.

Back in January, when heheard about the 7.0 earthquakethat left the impoverished nationin absolute ruins, he wanted to dosomething, so he sought a groupthat could put him on the groundto help with what he does best:nursing.

He found Canadian MedicalAssistance Teams, an organiza-tion that sends teams of medicsto communities affected by disas-ters, conflict and poverty.

On May 3, Wong left hisBurnaby home to head to Haitiand join a team at a medical clinicin Ptionville, just outside of Port-au-Prince, the countrys capital.

Wong is no stranger to human-itarian work; he helped buildhomeswithHabitat for Humanityin the Honduras. But landingin Haiti was still shocking fourmonths after the quake.

The first two days were thehardest, Wong says. It wasrough. It was hot, it was humid.There were piles of rubble every-where.

Anywhere there is open space,people have set up tarps and tentssince many homes and buildingswere destroyed and still lay inruins. When you walk down thestreets, people call after you, des-perate for anything: food, money,water and attention.

The clinic Wong worked inwas in the midst of a tent-cityset up on top of what used to bea country club and golf course.About 50,000 people live undermakeshift shelters. The clin-ic was run by the J/P HaitianRelief Organization, an organiza-tion founded by actor Sean Penn.Roughly staffed by 12 to 14 vol-unteers at any given time, theyprocessed about 250 people a day

through the clinic. Thats enoughto fill a days worth of hospitalemergency department visits fora medium-sized city and this isjust one clinic, Wong points out.

Although its been monthssince the quake hit, people arestill in dire need of medical help.Wong saw people coming in tothe clinic with post-traumaticstress, nightmares and insomnia.

The medical problems arentso much about physical trau-ma, theyre more about the liv-ing conditions. The majority ofcases involved dehydration, kidswith scabies or worms, and staphinfections. Theres also the threatof diseases spreading, includingdiphtheria, a potentially deadlybacterial infection.

We saved a few lives, espe-cially babies who would not havegotten the care if we hadnt beenthere, he says.

Major trauma cases would getsent to the main hospital, whichis still damaged from the quake,and women were giving birth onthe steps of the maternity hos-pital.

When asked what the hardestpart of the trip was, Wong takesa long pause before describing apainful case that happened theday before he arrived.

A child came in with diphthe-

ria. I think he was a 13-year-oldboy. We shipped him off to thehospital for more advanced treat-ment, Wong says. There wasonly one dose to treat diphtheriain the entire country because theyjust dont have the infrastructureto deal with the disaster.

We didnt find it till after hedied.

While the treatment is expen-sive and hard to come by in Haiti,at VGH, they wouldnt thinktwice about administering it,he adds. Thats just one part ofthe whole experience that madeWong realize how lucky we areas Canadians.

We take things for granted.Health care is at our fingertips,he says.

When asked how he copeswith all the suffering, Wong says:Youre fighting an uphill battle,but if I didnt go, that would beone less person who cared andthat many fewer people whoselives Ive touched.

The best part of the trip was allthe smiles from the kids.

The way they look at you, itsalmost like youre from anoth-er planet, they look at you withamazement. They know yourethere to help, he says. Thesepeople have nothing. They losttheir families, they lost their

homes, they lost all their belong-ings. The future looks bleak, yetlife goes on.Through it all, theystill find the strength to smile.

Paramedic Bill Coltart is theWestern regional director forCanadian Medical AssistanceTeams. Hes been to Haiti twiceand says the volunteers give a lotto help.

The Canadian volunteerswho in fact go down are someof the most generous people Iveever met, he says. These peopleare just unbelievable humanitar-ians.

But with Haitis rainy seasonalready starting, hurricanes likelyon the way and so many peopleliving in tents, the mixture is ripefor a mass outbreak of disease,Coltart says. People need homes,not a couple of two-by-fours anda tarp in the park, he adds.

Youre not seeing Haiti onthe news every night anymore.People tend to think the disasteris over. That certainly is not thecase, he says. These people stillneed a lot of help.

Wong returned home May19, but hes still urging peopleto donate to Canadian MedicalAssistance Teams. To help, visittheir website at www.canadianmedicalteams.org.

Recently, 80 of myclassmates fromBurnaby North cametogether for a reunion atAnduccis.

In terms of the decadesthat have passed sincegraduation, the short spanof five years we went tohigh school doesnt seemthat significant. Yet it wasduring a critical time in ourlives. As adolescents, ourbrains, bodies and emotionswere changing, growingand breaking out. Thoughwe may not have beenfighting with one another,we wrestled with our ownemotions, our self-esteemand our sense of self-worth.

During high school,many of us had our firstloves and met our bestfriends. We had many situ-ational friends, classmatesand teammates we oncehung out with but fromwhom we would eventu-ally drift away. We learnedto deal with nice andnot-so-nice people, bulliesand prejudice. Whetherwe were visible minoritiesor not, we were all eithervictims or perpetrators ofprejudice; we judged andtreated one another accord-ing to superficial appear-ances how we looked andhow we dressed.

High school somehowtolerated intolerance andmean-spirited behaviourmore than most preschools,elementary schools, col-leges and workplaces do.However, as my adultpatients relate to me, bulliesmanage to continue theirbad behaviour in the adultworld in many companies.

We create psychologicalconstructs or simplificationsof reality to make sense ofour world. We often do thiswith the most changeableof entities, other humanbeings. We might recognizehow much we change, butwe often assume that oth-

ers dont. So our memoriesand feelings about oldclassmates can be as blackand white as their old highschool photos. We remem-ber them as we thoughtthey were.

We can hold rigid cari-catures of high school char-acters. Though they mayseem larger than life in ourminds, in reality they arecomplex individuals withqualities more grey andcoloured than black andwhite.

Our memories for thoseyears are also focused andincomplete. In our minds,we can make minor eventsbigger than life. Talking toold classmates, we discoverthat we each remember

events a little differently.We remember selectively,sometimes incorrectly.Others remembered thingsthat may not have seemedthat important to us.

A reunion can allow usto correct the blindspotsin our memories of thoseimpressionable, formativeyears of our lives and ournarrowed characteriza-tions of our classmates,and, as youll see in mynext column, while sharingour lives as adults, we cantransform the way we seeone another and our ownselves.

Ive eaten a lot of thingsin my life: some good,some not so much.But until I tried Jacky

Trans signature dish atJapolo Sushi at 218-3355North Rd., I had nevertried a sushi burger.

And now, withoutsounding too crazy, Illhave to say the sushi burg-er is one of the top threethings Ive ever eaten.

I got the idea when Iwas in Toronto and sawsushi pizza, said Tran ofthe dish thats also on theJapolo menu. I thought ifyou can use pressed sushias a pizza crust, why cantI use it for the bun in aburger?

With a little experi-menting, Tran came upwith the perfect recipe fora sushi burger.

He takes sushi rice,presses it tight and thenbreads it before deep-fry-ing it.

But its not just thebun that makes the Japolosushi burger so good.Inside, Tran puts a selec-tion of seafood, fromsmoked salmon to imita-tion crab meat and tobiko,mixed nicely with somelettuce, light mayonnaiseand barbecue sauce.

Served in four quarters,I couldnt believe howtasty the burger was. Thebun didnt fall apart Tranadmits it took him sometime to find the right con-sistency and the seafoodflavours came out in everybite.

The dish is so good and Tran has tough qual-ity control that its not onthe take-out menu.

And why would younot want to spend timewith Jacky and his fam-ily, who have run Japoloin Burnaby for the past 15years and recently openeda Pho Japolo sister store inNorth Vancouver.

Were actually

Vietnamese, and we want-ed to have a nice mix ofJapanese and Vietnamesedishes on the menu, saidJacky, who credits momHuong with giving himhis culinary education.

Im sure the pho is verygood, but I had my handsfull with the Japanesedishes all told, there aremore than 200 choices atJapolo.

I knew the sushi burgerwas a must-eat, but thenI spied Tran with a blow-torch. Wiping my eyes tomake sure I was seeingright, I told my server,Jackys wife, Tianna, tobring me one of whatJacky was preparing.

Thats the platinumroll, she said. Its one ofour most popular dishes,with salmon, crab meat,cucumber, avocado andtobiko on the inside andthinly sliced snapper asthe outside wrap.

What Jackys doing is,he spreads mayonnaise onthe outside, and, with theblowtorch, he burns off allthe oil, and what youre

Sushi burger a winner

Lets talk. From the personal to political. Life in Burnaby

left with is the platinumroll.

You dont have to beMike Holmes to appreciateanything created with ablowtorch, and I certainlywasnt disappointed whenthe mouth-watering dishliterally melted in mymouth.

The snapper was silkysmooth and worked wellwith the salmon. Theremnants of the mayowere surprisingly sweetand meshed well with thecucumber and avocado.

Its like a party inyour mouth, isnt it? saidTianna.

With my mouth full, Icould only nod approv-ingly.

But no doubt the high-light was watching Jackywith the blowtorch, withthe widest eyes belong-ing to his eight-year-oldson Jaden, a student atKitchener Elementary.

Jaden even has a dishnamed after him, theJaden Roll, which featuresgomaae on the inside andavocado slices on the out-side.

I havent even tried ityet, said Jaden. I thinkmy dad named it after mebecause its green.

Instead, Jaden helpedme eat another of Jackyscreations, the mango sur-prise, which is a specialtyroll that features a bigmango slice in the middle,surrounded by unagi,prawns and tempura. Ontop are avocado slices and

tobiko.Im always trying to

experiment with sweet fla-vours, said Jacky. Eventhough weve been here15 years, I want to keep onchanging things and mak-ing things better for all myloyal customers.

Its that spirit of creativ-ity that led Jacky to thesushi burger and sushipizza, but look on thespecial orders menu andyoull find a lobster roll,Philly roll and a summertuna roll that are all theproducts of Jackys imagi-nation.

Even on the regularmenu, one of my co-work-ers swears that Japolosbeef sashimi is the bestin the Lower Mainland,while another invokedthe gomaae (sesame andspinach salad) test: If aJapanese restaurant cantmake good gomaae, it

probably fails with a lot ofother dishes.

After she gave me thethumbs-up on Japolosgomaae, how could I notkeep coming back? Alfies dining tip:

Combos and dinnerboats are the best choice ifyoure sharing or just cantmake up your mind. Formy money, the $15.50 din-ner box A, with tempura,oyster motoyaki, beefor chicken teriyaki, fourpieces of sushi and threepieces of California roll istough to beat.

Japolo Sushi is locatedat 218-3355 North Rd. Itsopen for lunch Monday toSaturday , 11:30 a.m. to 2:15p.m. Japolo is open for dinnerfrom 4:30 p.m. seven days aweek. Call 604-420-8978.

Dear Tom and Ray:Im a concerned mom. Our

spirited 16-year-old daughterwill soon have her driverslicence. We subscribe to theReaganesque philosophy oftrust but verify when itcomes to raising teenagers.Is there a covert car-trackingdevice or service that you rec-ommend that would provideus with the ability to locatethe vehicle on demand via e-mail or SMS (Short MessageService)?

Thanks for your help!Blair

TOM: Spirited. Gotcha.Yes, there are such devices.But I would encourageyou to go overt rather thancovert.RAY: Right. The idea isnot to catch your littlejuvenile delinquent driving80 m.p.h. through a schoolzone; the idea is to teachher not to do that. Thereare several devices on themarket that provide feed-back to the driver in realtime, in addition to tattling.

TOM: One we particularlylike is called Tiwi. Its aglobal positioning system-based computer that costsabout $200. You also paya monthly subscriptionfee of about $40. But whatit allows you to do is setyour own rules. So if youdecide that your daughteris allowed to go only fivem.p.h. over the speed limit,the unit will alert her whenshes broken that rule, andalso will alert you immedi-ately by phone, e-mail ortext message.RAY: By giving her instantfeedback, shes given astrong incentive to start fol-lowing the rules.TOM: There are otherblack box or EDR (eventdata recorder) devices,and you can find many ofthem on the Internet. Someprovide instant feedback tothe driver and reporting toa parent; others just collectthe data and offer it to youvia a website.RAY: But the cool thingabout Tiwi is that, becauseits one of the GPS-basedsystems, it knows the speedlimit of whatever roadshes on at that moment.TOM: Tiwi also allowsyou to set no go zoneswith the GPS so that it willlet you know when, forexample, your daughterleaves the immediate area.

Or wanders into her boy-friends neighborhood.RAY: Shes going to hatethis thing, Blair! It is intru-sive. But the stakes are sohigh in the case of a newteen driver (life and death)that some parents maydecide that the invasion ofprivacy is worth it, at leastfor the first few years ofdriving.

Lakers stunRockswithtimely win

All of a sudden, thingsare looking up for theBurnaby Lakers.

Just when it seemedBurnaby was at its low-est ebb, good thingsbegan to happen in threesfor the Western LacrosseAssociation club.

The first was a timely,and well-deserved, 7-5victory over the visit-ing Victoria Shamrocks atthe Bill Copeland SportsComplex on Friday.

The second was a four-goal contribu-tionfromformerOntario juniorScott Tinningtowards theteams secondwin of the sea-son.

The last, andby no meansthe least, wasthe appear-ance of veteranlefthander CamSedgwick in theLakers lineupfor the first game sincescoring the game-winninggoal for the WashingtonStealth in the recent proleague championship.

Despite a frightening 3-0 start by the Shamrockson their first three shots ongoal, Sedgwicks presencebecame quickly apparent.

The consumate teamquarterback, sneaked intothe low post and bounceda quick ball past the nearpost on starting Victoriakeeper Neil Tyacke on apower play to steady thetroops.

From then on, Burnabyappeared more composed,despite a loose defence thatgave up 49 shots to thevisitors.

Laker keeper Scott Loweallowed a fourth goal in theopening eight minutes ofplay, but was near perfectfor the remaining 50 min-utes, stopping all but RhysDuchs shot from the pointon a third-period powerplay.

Tinning took over in themiddle frame with his first

career WLA hat trick, scor-ing four of Burnabys fivecounters in the period.

I finally came out ofmy slump, said Tinningafter the game. I was real-ly disappointed (with thefirst two games). I wantedto show the group thatbrought me out here thatI could put the ball in thenet.

Tinning, who finishedfourth in Minto Cup scor-ing last season for theBrampton Excelsiors witheight goals and 19 points,showed that touch inFridays match.

T i n n i n gscored histhird goal ofthe season inthe openingminute of theperiod.He thengave the hometeam its firstlead on a feedfrom Sedgwicka minuteafter ShaunDhaliwal hadtied the contestat 4-4.

Tinning scored the even-tual game-winning tally onan unassisted cut to thenet. He potted his third ina row from fellow rookiesTrevor Moore and DaneStevens, who was a team-mate of Tinnings last sea-son in Brampton.

Were really young, buthonestly, I wanted to goto somewhere young. Weshowed we can play withthe best, but we still need alot of work, Tinning said.

Having Sedgwick final-ly back in the lineup justmade that work seem alittle bit less, and arguablya lot more rewarding, for aLaker club that struggledin its opening matches.

Sedgwick made thedecision to return for a10th WLA season with theBurnaby club just the nightbefore.

I didnt want to sitout another year, saidSedgwick, the formertwo-time WLA MVP whodid not play last season

B.C. under-12 girls club field hockey championships


The long and short of it: An India Club ball carrier is dwarfed by a West Vancouver Thunderbirdsdefender at the B.C. under-12 girls club field hockey championships at Burnaby Lake-West on Sunday.

Juniors tie with unbeaten BelliesThe Burnaby Lakers scored two

goals on two shots in overtime tosalvage a single point in B.C. JuniorLacrosse League play Sunday.

The junior A Lakers drew forthe second time this season, tyingthe unbeaten New WestminsterSalmonbellies8-8at theBillCopelandSports Centre.

The draw was a timely one pointfor the Lakers, who looked a sham-bles less than a week earlier, losing13-5 to the same Salmonbellies clubin New Westminster.

We had no emotion going inthere (to New West), said Lakertransition player Nick Bilic. Weknew we needed a point or twopoints, and we got one.

Burnaby was perhaps unlucky tonot come away with the first win ofthe season over New Westminster.

Backup goalie Patrick Bayliss gotthe start and grew tougher to beatas the game went on, stopping 34shots, including eight in the 10-min-ute overtime.

In fact, it was Bayliss who savedthe day for the Lakers in the finalseconds of extra time.

With the scored tied at eights,Bayliss blocked a point-blank shotfrom Tyler Digby at the top of thegoalie crease with just five secondsleft to play.

Seconds later, Bayliss scrambledback from behind the net just in timeto stymie Mark Negrin with a divingglove save as time ran out.

Im very disappointed with theeffort they (the Salmonbellies) put

out tonight, said New Westminsterhead coach Dan Perreault. Thedecisions with the ball were very,very poor. But well fix that.

Burnaby might wish they dontget around to the repairs until afternext Sundays meeting with theBellies at the Copeland centre.

But either way, the Lakers shouldbe a better team for the point, saidBilic.

I think it was one of our bestteam efforts and hopefully we canbuild off it, Bilic said. Its mentaland hard work. If we come outready to play, we can win. I thinkwe got the skills.

On Sunday, the Lakers showedglimpses of those skills.
