The latest poll from InsightsWest showsthe race for Burnaby North-Seymour restsbetween two candidates: the NDP and theConservatives, but there’s still a large seg-ment of undecided voters that could deter-mine the final outcome.

Meanwhile, a second riding-specific pollreleased by Mainstreet and commissionedby Postmedia, showed that for decided vot-ers,Tory Mike Little was ahead with theNDP and Liberal candidate tied for second.

The InsightsWest poll, commissioned by

the Dogwood Initiative, shows the NDP’sCarol Baird Ellan at 29 per cent and Lit-tle at 27 per cent, with LiberalTerry Beechin third with 17 per cent and Green LynneQuarmby at seven per cent.

InsightsWest conducted the poll fromOct. 5 to 10 and used live telephone in-terviews with 400 randomly selected peo-ple, asking them only if they were going tovote and who they were going to vote for.The poll’s margin of error is plus or minus4.9 per cent, which means the results couldsway by nearly five per cent, making theNDP’s two-point lead on theTories statisti-cally insignificant, not to mention the large

percentage (19) of undecided voters. None-theless, Baird Ellan said it reflects infor-mation collected through phone calls anddoor-knocking.

“We run into Conservatives at the doors;we don’t find Liberals,” she said.

Baird Ellan noted InsightsWest, which has done threepolls for Burnaby North-Sey-mour this campaign period,has consistently put the NDPin the lead for the riding.

Beech, however, was not aspleased with the latest resultsand questioned the poll’smethodology. Instead, he’s looking at pastvoting patterns transposed on the new rid-ing.

“In the history of this riding, based on ac-

tually votes cast, this riding has never beenwon by the NDP,” Beech said. “It’s a flawedmethodology, and Dogwood is doing ourriding a disservice by giving people bad in-formation. I would suggest people look atSignal.thestar.com, which looks at lots of

polls, not just 400 (people).”“The NDP just put out a

very deceiving mailer usingthis exact same poll from fiveweeks ago making the samestrategic voting argumentwith data they know is oldand misleading,” he added. “Iwould encourage everyone:

Do your own research online before you goto vote. Don’t worry about strategic voting,you should vote for the person that works

For the second time in as manyyears, dozens ofWestern painted tur-tle hatchlings have been uprooted be-cause of a 2014 coal spill into SilverCreek.

In January 2014, a CN train de-railed and spilled coal into the creek,which runs into Burnaby Lake, hometo one of the largest known B.C. pop-ulations of theWestern painted turtle.

The first time the hatchlings had tobe dug up was when heavy equipmentto clean up the spill was deployedfrom their nesting grounds.

“After the train derailment hap-pened a year ago, we had to dig upthis whole beach because they werecoming in with their heavy equipmentwhether there were turtles here or not,just to suck up all the coal that theyspilled,” said Deanna MacTavish, a bi-ologist for the Coastal PaintedTurtle

If more young votersdon’t cast a ballot in Mon-day’s election than in yearspast, it won’t be Colleen Al-stad’s fault.

The Alpha Secondary li-brarian has helped at least50 young people get onestep closer to voting in theirfirst election this year.

In June, she tracked downall the Grade 12 students ather school who had turned18 during the school year,took them down to the li-brary and helped them reg-ister online with ElectionsCanada.

“I wanted to make surewe got the Grade 12s whowere graduating registeredbefore they left us forev-er,” Alstad told theNOW.“They’re perfectly capableof registering themselves,but who knows. I thought ifwe facilitated that, it wouldbe one less hurdle for themto face, and then they wouldbe able to vote.”

The Alpha librariantracked down two more el-

igible student voters thisyear.

But Grade 12 studentColby Fowlie had alreadyset himself up, having reg-istered at Brentwood Mallwith his mom.

“I figured I should,” hesaid. “Not a lot of peoplemy age do vote.”

For students who haven’tregistered yet, though, hesaid helping them sign uponline at school might en-courage them to actuallycast a ballot.

“If they didn’t have togo find a place to regis-ter, it would make it easier,”Fowlie said.

Alstad agrees.“To ease them in, that

was the purpose for theirfirst time,” she said. “I’m re-ally really concerned aboutgetting the youth vote outand how low the numbershave been lately, and I’mhoping to do even a little bitto change that.”

Alstad started voting assoon as she turned of ageabout 40 years ago.Withparents who often discussedpolitics and voted, she said

she never considered notvoting to be an option.

“You feel like you’re partof a democracy when youvote,” she said. “You feel like

you have a say.”This is the first time Al-

stad has systematically setout to help students regis-ter, but she’d like to keep the

idea going for future elec-tions and see it expand toother schools.

“It’s important to getthe youthful energy and

the youth issues,” she said.“We’re turning into such aseniors country.Youth needto feel represented, and Idon’t know that they do.”

Librarian has made it a mission toget students registered to vote

hardest to earn your vote.”Baird Ellan pushed back

against aggregators, likeTo-ronto Star’s Signal, using na-tional data for local ridingprojections.

“Those aren’t polls,” shesaid. “They look at aggre-gate polls, and then they usea formula to project (ridingresults).They are inaccu-rate when it comes down toa specific riding, particularlyin North Burnaby.”

While the poll has put

Little in second, he was stillcautious.

“Nineteen per cent un-decided at this point is a re-ally big number, but withfive days left we don’t reallyhave to wait too long to getto, really, the only poll thatmatters,” he said, referringto Election Day. “With 19per cent undecided, I reallydon’t know how useful thatdata is.”

Little said he’s doing ev-erything to get out the Con-servative vote, and he’s not

too concerned with polls atthis point.

Quarmby, who faces themost damage from the latestnumbers, didn’t put muchfaith in the results, which shesays “in no way” reflect thesupport she’s getting whiledoor-knocking.

“I know that number is ei-ther an anomaly or it’s re-flecting the insecurity peo-ple are feeling because of thebig push for strategic vot-ing,” she said. “Seven percent would suggest I had

gone out and robbed a bankor something. I know I havemuch more support thanwhat’s reflected in that num-ber.”

Like virtually all Greencandidates across Canada,the biggest barrier Quarm-by faces is convincing peoplethat a vote for her will notsplit the left and benefit theTories.

“The polls themselves areaffecting the election, they’renot just taking the tempera-ture.They’re actually having

an effect, and that’s an im-portant thing to be acknowl-edged,” she added.

The second poll, releasedby Mainstreet close to theNOW’s press time, showedthe following: for respon-dents identifying as certainto vote, Conservative candi-date Little was in the lead at32 per cent, Beech (Liberal)and Baird Ellan (NDP) weretied for second with 24 percent, Quarmby (Green) waspulling in eight per cent, and12 per cent were certain they

were undecided.The poll was conducted

using interactive voice re-sponse technology, meaningthere was no live person in-terviewing the respondents.There were 716 respondentscontacted, on landlines andcellphones, between Oct. 9and 10, and the margin oferror is 3.65 per cent.

A recent round of lettersfrom Burnaby Mayor DerekCorrigan endorsing NDPcandidate Carol Baird Ellanhas one local voter raisingher eyebrows.

Trinity Bissett, a residentin the Burnaby North-Sey-mour riding, received a let-ter in the mail from DerekCorrigan encouraging herto vote for Baird Ellan.

“I thought it odd, and Iwas surprised he would usehis influence to sway thevote. I’ve never been lob-bied by another politicianto vote federally,” she said.“I think it’s inappropri-ate to use his influence thatway. He should let peoplestand on their own and votethe way they want. I under-stand some people can sup-port other people, but heshouldn’t be using his politi-

cal office to do that. … Hesigned it as ‘mayor of Burn-aby.’ I was just surprised bythat. I was taken aback. Heshouldn’t use his politicalstation to push his favou-rite candidate into the lime-light.”

Baird Ellan’s office sentthe letters to voters theyidentified that may beswayed by Corrigan’s en-dorsement, and the letterswere authorized by BairdEllan’s official agent.

“The BCA (Burnaby Cit-izens’ Association) is tradi-tionally supportive of theNDP and vice versa, andbasically he and I agreed Iwould be the candidate inthe riding,” Baird Ellan said.“He endorsed my campaignfrom the outset. … He re-cruited me and was happyto have me in the riding.”

Baird Ellan said the let-ter was an endorsementlike any other in an election

campaign.“Harper and the Fords?”

Every Thursday morning about

120 vulnerable people in Burnaby

turn up at an Edmonds church

for a nutritious snack and a warm

welcome.

Thanks to a grant from the Burnaby

Hospital Foundation under its new

Community Health and Wellness

Grant Program, the Burnaby Task

Force on Homelessness is able to

ensure they get access to healthy

food and fellowship.

“The people that come are poor

and are in need of services, and

are very much in need of being in

a non-judgemental place,” explains

Wanda Mulholland, community

development coordinator for the

task force, which runs the Outreach

Resource Centre in Southside

Community Church.

Many are homeless, at-risk of losing

housing, or struggling with poverty.

Along with food, with the help of

the task force, they receive access to

clothing, social services and medical

care, including seasonal flu shots.

Meanwhile, Burnaby Hospital

Foundation grant funds will also

go toward fare saver bus passes,

which the task force gives to clients,

helping to ensure they can get to

doctors’ appointments.

“Because Burnaby is so

large geographically, there

are challenges for people

to access the services

they need,” Mulholland

explains. “Access to

transit is a very clear way

for people to exit from

homelessness.”

The task force also intends

to use the grant funds to

help provide places for

homeless individuals to

take showers. The team

is still determining the

best way to meet this final initiative,

which creates barriers for people

searching for work and housing.

“The majority of people we work

with are Burnaby folks that have

lived here for most of their life,”

Mulholland says. “Many people

were raised here; they have raised

their children here. They call

Burnaby home.”

The task force is comprised of

representatives from government

agencies, the health authority,

community groups, businesses

– including Burnaby Board of

Trade, churches and concerned

citizens, who have come together

to identify and address issues of

homelessness in Burnaby.

“This is all about the partnerships,

and to have support from the

Burnaby Hospital Foundation, in the

form of the grant, is very important

for our work, for our ability to assist

the people that we see regularly,”

Mulholland says, adding, “The

partnerships are the only way we

survive.”

WhatstrategicvotersneedtoknowSo you want to vote stra-

tegically?Let’s make one thing

clear.We’re not fans of vot-ing for someone you don’treally like to keep someoneyou really don’t like out ofoffice, meanwhile forgoing avote for the person you ac-tually like.

But with calls for strategicvoting in tight races, includ-ing Burnaby North-Sey-mour, we’re going to giveyou a few words of warning.

Make sure you knowwhat you’re doing.

In order to vote strategi-cally, you need to determinethe candidates’ standings.To do that, you need to lookat the right polls, and there’snot a whole lot of riding-specific data available.

Our story on page 1 fea-tures the latest from In-sightsWest, commissionedby the Dogwood Initiative,one of the few polls that ac-tually uses riding-specificdata. But another Burna-by North-Seymour poll re-leased shortly before ourpress time contradicts its

findings.Polls are incredibly prob-

lematic because a flaw inthe methodology can skewresults, or, even worse,crooked pollsters can“cook” the poll to get theresults their clients are look-ing for.

Here’s what to watch forwhen assessing polls: Lookat the sample size. Is it alarge enough randomizedsample? Ideally, somethinglike 1,000 people would bebest, but 400 isn’t bad ei-ther.The smaller the sample

size, the larger the marginof error.What’s the mar-gin of error, you say? It re-flects how much the poll re-sults could be off by. So ifthe margin of error is higherthan the lead the first placeparty has, as is the case inBurnaby North-Seymour,the results are statisticallyinsignificant.

Look for undecided vot-ers.Were they included inthe poll? If a pollster has asample size of, say, 400, butremoves a large number ofundecided voters from the

final tally, that sample sizehas shrunk, which will affectthe results.

If possible, find out theorder of questions used.Were there suggestive ordamaging questions lead-ing up to the final query?That can affect how peopleanswer.

Also, what methodologywas used? Anything usingself-selecting respondents orrobocalls is suspect. Ideal-ly, you want live calls with arandomized sample.

If you’re looking at sites

likeThreeHundredEight.com and Signal.TheStar.com, remember these moreclosely reflect nationaltrends than on-the-groundreality for local ridings.

We’ve said this before andwe’ll say it again:Take allpolls with a giant grain ofsalt. Remember the last pro-vincial election? Pollsterswere wildly incorrect.

Basing your vote on whatthe polls are showing is arisky game.

Proceed with caution.

Minorityrulethebestresult

After attending the “all”candidates debate for theBurnaby North-Seymourriding at SFU and observ-ing the Green, Liberal andNDP candidates undermin-ing each other (while theConservative candidate wasnotably absent), I would liketo put this question to allcandidates who are current-ly running as “progressive”alternatives to the HarperConservatives: Are the spe-cific details of your party’sagenda worth risking fourmore years of degradation ofour society?

I ask this because I amvery concerned about howthe values and prioritiesof the majority of Canadi-ans (including myself) arenot in any way represented(or even respected) by thefederal Conservative par-ty, which in fact only rep-resents a minority of thosewho vote, yet has total leg-islative power in Parliament(and the Senate) due to ourflawed system.

Of particular interest tomyself, as well as many oth-ers, was the fact that allthree local candidates indi-cated that they (and theirparty) supported movingour current system of gover-nance to some form of pro-portional representation.Furthermore, they were allclearly in favour of reduc-ing the power and influenceof big oil companies in de-cisions regarding energy in-frastructure, shifting to a“green” renewable energyeconomy, and respecting thewishes of local citizens andFirst Nations.The means

by which they propose toachieve these goals vary,but their overall position onthese topics appeared verysimilar to me.

So this leaves me with onefundamental question:Whatwill it take for the various“progressive” political ele-ments in this country to castaside ideological semanticsand take the more pragmat-ic approach that the political“right wing” of Canadianpolitics did nearly a decadeago – to unite under onebanner?

My fear is that it will takeanother four years of Harp-er’s Conservative govern-ment (elected to power byless than 40 per cent of thepopular vote again) beforethe “progressive” elementsin our political landscape arewilling to temporarily putaside their ideals and con-front head-on the unfortu-nate reality that our systemis broken.

This is why, in the mean-time, I intend to do my partby voting as strategically aspossible (and encouragingeveryone I know to do thesame) in order to removethe federal Conservativesfrom power before we travelany farther down the rabbithole into Harperland.

At this point in the game,I’m convinced that the bestrepresentation we can hopefor is a minority NDP orLiberal government that iscommitted to working withthe other parties to pass leg-islation that is actually sup-ported by the majority ofvoting Canadians.Wouldn’tthat be a refreshing change?

Imean, if Japanneeds/wantsour resources, doesn’t the first principle ofcapitalism– supply anddemand–dictate itwill continue tobuy those resources tariffsnotwithstanding?Thequidproquo, sowe’re told, is that Ja-

pan (and theother 12 countries involved)willlower or eliminate import tariffs onabroadrangeof products ifwedo the same, thusgeneratingmorebilateral trade. But,whydoesthatmeanweenduppayingmore for aprod-uct (e.g., pharmaceuticals)while at the sametime losing jobs to foreign industries (e.g. autosector)whoseproduction costs are less?Andwhen it comes toprotectingCanada’s

supplymanagement system (e.g., poultry anddairy) isn’t that really about food security? Imean, as long asweprotect our foodpro-duction against price under-cuttingbyothernations, aren’twe in reality safeguardingourability to feedourselves? Shouldn’twebeexpanding supplymanagement rather thantrading it awaypiecemeal?And, reallywhyall the secrecy surrounding

TPPnegotiations? Imean, after all, trade istrade isn’t it?Or is the TPP somethingmorethan that? Something secret,maybe?Bill BrassingtonSr., Burnaby

Dear Editor: In response totheOct. 13 article in theBurna-byNOW,Anti-pipeline activistsbackingNDP inBurnabyNorth-Seymour, Iwould like topointout some inaccuracies. SvenBiggs’ statement “Thepartythat forms cabinetwill decideif theKinderMorganpipelinegoes ahead” is not true.In aminority government,

andall thepolls saywewillhave aminority governmentnextweek, theparties that arewilling towork togetherwill getthings done.In Pearson’sminority gov-

ernment, that government gotthings done. Theywere ableto giveCanadians universalhealth care, theCanadaPen-sionPlan, CanadaStudentLoans, the 40-hourworkweek,twoweeks’ vacation time, anewminimumwage, andhave

been creditedwith institut-ing theworld’s first race-freeimmigration system.Pearson’scabinet did not do this alone.Theydid thiswithDiefen-

baker’s Conservatives anda small groupofDouglas’NDP’ers allworking together.Under thenextminority

government, there shouldbeasmall groupofGreenspushingthe Liberals and theNDP tokeep their promises. Neitherthe Liberals nor theNDPhavesaid theywill stopKinderMorgan frombringing in itspipeline, expanding the tankfarmand increasing the tankertraffic into theBurrard Inlet.BenWest fromTanker Free

B.C. andSvenBiggs, fromFor-est Ethics know this.They know theminority

government has to listen toeveryone, not just those incabinet.Sowhyare they trying to

scare us into thinkingonlyoneparty can formgovern-

ment and stopKinderMorgan?Thenext PrimeMinisterwillbe ThomasMulcair or JustinTrudeau.The Liberals and theNDP

will formacoalition and therewill be anaccordmadewiththeGreenMPs to supporttheirminority governmentif theybring in some formofproportional representation,repeal Bill C-51 andgo to theParis Climate talk inNovemberwith a serious plan to reduceclimate change.Nooneknowswhowillwin

theBurnabyNorth-Seymourriding. There is no clearwinnerfor this riding. EvenBenWestsays “theBurnaby riding isparticularly tricky.” It could goGreen, Liberal, orNDP.Vote for thepersonwho

Project. “It was quite anemergency situation.”

Those hatchlings werereared up at a NorthVan-couver facility and releasedback into the lake in thespring.

MacTavish’s group wasback at the beach this week,digging up a new generationof tiny turtles.

This time they’re prepar-

ing for the beach to be exca-vated. All the sand is sched-uled to be removed in eithermid-November or early Jan-uary and replaced with sandfree of contamination.

“Before the heavy ma-chinery rolls in, we’re dig-ging up the entire beachwith a bunch of volunteersto make sure we get all thehatchlings out,” MacTav-ish said.

After one day of workWednesday, volunteers hadunearthed 35 nickel-sizedbaby turtles.

This batch of hatchlingsand any others dug up on asecond day of work will bereared up at the same NorthVancouver facility or at theGreaterVancouver Zoo andreturned to the lake in thespring.

One upside to disturbing

the nesting ground twicein two years, according toMacTavish, is that it hasgiven her group a chance tomeasure how successful thebeach is – to determine howmany eggs each female islaying and how many hatch-lings survive versus dudeggs.

WhileWestern paintedturtles sometimes try to nestin different places around

Burnaby Lake Park, shesaid, the beach is the onlyplace biologists have foundsurviving hatchlings.

“This beach is definitelywhere a vast majority of theturtles actually come everyyear to nest,” she said.

Your Favourite

How effective do youthink enforcement blitz-es are?

Well, it catches peopleoff guard, that’s for sure,and it makes them realizethey could be caught any-where doing things theyshouldn’t be. Even if theythink they’ve got it hidden,their behaviour to someonestanding on the side of theroad is quite obvious.

Explain what youmean by “behaviour.”

Their behaviour is not fo-cusing on what’s going onaround them, it’s focusingon what’s in their hand orwhat’s in the car with them.You’ll often see them misslights or be late moving orglance up from their lap, oreven blatantly talking on thephone.

When spotting, howclose can you get to dis-tracted drivers before

they notice you?Sometimes I walk right

up to them, knock on thewindow and say, ‘Pleasesee that officer right there.’That’s very common.Youcan walk right up to them,and the other drivers whoare aware of their surround-ings are all wondering whatyou’re doing.

Did you come acrossdistracted drivers as ageneral duty officer?

All the time, and the dev-astation that it causes aswell.These people thataren’t paying attention andgo off the road. Hopefully, ifan accident happens it onlyinvolves them and doesn’tinvolve third parties.

What are some of theexcuses you’ve heardfrom drivers you’vecaught?

‘My phone rang, Icouldn’t not answer it; Ionly picked it up to checkthe time,’ that’s a commonone. Or, ‘I didn’t answer it,I only wanted to see who’scalling,’ that sort of stuff, or

‘I put it on hold and am justlooking for a place to pullover,’ but it’s still in theirhand.

Why do you think peo-ple can’t put their phonesdown?

In my opinion, technolo-gy is moving faster than weare to deal with it in cars.I have no doubt that in afew years we will be able tovoice activate – and in someof the newer cars you cannow – answer, send a text,

you won’t have to do thatwith hands on, but peo-ple are so tied to their cell-phones right now that theycan’t live without them andthey don’t have the technol-ogy in the vehicle yet so theydon’t have to pick up.

What are some wayspolice are trying to keepup with changing tech-nology?

We’re trying to get peo-ple to pay more attention tothe road.The cars are mov-

ing at faster speeds thesedays, and we have a lot ofnew drivers on the road thatcan’t afford to be distract-ed from their primary taskof driving.They’re drivinga large vehicle that, if theydon’t handle it properly, cancause a lot of devastation,to themselves and others,so you need to put 100 percent of your concentrationon the road.

Do you ever get frus-trated doing this job?

Frustrated? No. Not frus-trated just can’t believe thatpeople are still doing this.When I started this job, no-body had cellphones andnow everybody’s got one,and cars have changed a lot,but people still aren’t payingattention to their driving.

Do you think it’s justtaking time for people torealize it’s dangerous?Like drinking and driv-ing.

Yes, totally. It used to betalking on the cellphone,which a lot of people did.When it first started, again,

the law hadn’t caught upto it. People were talking(on their phones) and therewere accidents, but then itwent on to texting, whichtakes you more away fromyour concentration thantalking on the cellphone,but still, people need toconcentrate on their driving,not on other things in thevehicle or in their hands.

Considering that, isit time for more educa-tion rather than enforce-ment?

Totally. Several other ju-risdictions, including Alber-ta, have gone to distracteddriving, which is basicallyanything that distracts you –from a coffee to a burger toanything, a dog in your lap.…Technology and thingsare moving far too fast,you’re going to have to puta general thing in law thatsays anything that distractsa driver (is against the law),because you need to be pay-ing attention to the road.

Why is he in the news?

TRAFFIC POLICE OFFICER

Sgt. Dwayne Beckerleg

We hear it over and overagain, using your phonewhile driving is dangerous,and yet countless peoplecontinue to do it.In Burnaby alone, more than500 ticketswere issued forusing an electronic devicebehind thewheel in onlythe first threeweeks ofSeptember, according to theRCMP.Sgt. Dwayne Beckerlegis relatively new to theBurnabyRCMP’s trafficsection, but he’s spentalmost a decadeworkingthe streets as a general dutyofficer. During that time, he’scome acrossmany, manydrivers violating traffic lawsbe it speeding or talking ontheir cellphones – he’s alsoseen the tragic outcomes of

these violations.Earlier this month, he anda group of officers set upan enforcement blitz nearMetrotown. A group ofCellWatch volunteerswerestationedwith signs urgingdrivers to put away theirphones, while Beckerlegwaited, in plain clothes,about a block away lookingfor driverswho ignored thewarning.If caught by Beckerleg, thedriverswere facedwith ahefty $167 fine.TheNOW caught upwithBeckerleg to pick his brainaboutwhat he sees outon the roads, andwhat hethinks is needed to convincedrivers to leave their phonesalone.

The Burnaby Inter-FaithNetwork is inviting the pub-lic to tour the local IsmailiCentre next week in an ef-fort to “build bridges of un-derstanding and communi-cation.”

“We do this to kind ofbreak down those barriersand the stereotypes peoplebuild of each other,” net-work co-chair Don Dycktold the NOW.

The ad-hoc group, whichincludes members from avariety of faiths and back-grounds, advocacy groupsand settlement services, wasestablished in 2010 by theBurnaby Intercultural Plan-ningTable. Part of its man-date has been to collaboratewith faith-based centres andorganize tours.

Dyck, a pastor at theBrentwood Park AllianceChurch on Delta Avenue,toured the Ismaili Centreshortly after 9/11.

“I felt compelled to learnmore about Islam and what

it meant to be a Muslim inthis time, and to learn fromsomebody who was a Mus-lim, as opposed to fromsomebody who might havean axe to grind with them,”he said.

The experience, Dycknoted, was eye-opening.

“It gave me a deeper un-derstanding of their rever-ence for God. I thought wecould learn a lot about thatfrom them; the realizationthat a lot of our roots aresimilar. It gave me a deeperunderstanding that there issome radicalized groups ofcourse that don’t really rep-resent the whole, just like inmy own faith; that the onesthat make the news are theradicalized people who areactually an embarrassmentto us and don’t represent

who we are.”Dyck added most faiths

share a common thread ofcompassion.

“Most faith communi-ties are already doing a lotthat goes unnoticed in manyways, in terms of looking af-ter homeless, newcomersto Canada, in terms of justtaking care of social issues,”he told the NOW. “Ourpurpose is to say, wheredo we find that commonground among our faithswhere we can stand togetherand make our communitiesa better place?”

The Oct. 20 event willbe the seventh tour the net-work has organized. Atten-dance in the past has usu-ally been between 30 and40 people, according toDyck, who would like to seea bigger turnout this timearound.

The tour runs from 5:30to 7 p.m., with a light din-ner included. Admission isfree, but registration is re-quired. Call 604-294-7421or email [email protected].

The Bra LadyIs coming to Size You Up

Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re notalone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines,over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra.

Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in.

Due to the overwhelming response to the previous clinic, Chapman iscoming toBURNABY, TUESDAY OCTOBER 27to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman saidshe will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefitsof good bras and measuring their bodies properly.

“Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,”Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is alsoimportant for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.”

Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes.

She offers these questions for women to ask themselves:• Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably?• Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your“everyday” bra?

• Do you overflow the cup of your bra?• Do your bra straps dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks?• Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to giveyou added support?

• Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because yourbreasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running?

If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and acustom one could be the way to go.

1-800-254-3938 by October 26She doesn’t come into town very often so she advises booking as soonas possible. Although Chapman enjoys coming to this area, she is on thelook-out for someone to train for or buy the business.

Soup is great because justone pot is a blank canvaswaiting for you to unleashyour culinary imagination.

One of my all-time favou-rites is Mulligatawny soup.The name for this curry-based soup is derived fromthe words “milagu” (mean-ing pepper) and “thanni”(meaning water). It is alsoa great recipe for using upany leftover cooked chickenfrom the night before.

When using lentils, salt istypically added at the endof the cooking time as itcould slow down the cook-ing of the lentils, and I havefollowed that rule here.However, keep in mindthat there is typically salt inchicken broth, so leavingthe salt to the end probablydoesn’t make too much dif-ference in this instance.

MULLIGATAWNYSOUP

1/4 cup butter1 medium onion, dicedsmall2 celery stalks, diced small1 medium carrot, dicedsmall6 garlic cloves, minced2 tbsp flour2 tsp curry powder1 tsp garam masala1/4 tsp dried thyme4 cups chicken broth/stock1/4 cup dried green lentils2 bay leaves1 apple, peeled and diced2 cooked chicken breasts,cubed (preferably grilled)

1 – 400ml can of coconutmilk1.5 tsp salt1/2 tsp pepper

Add butter to a pot overmedium heat. Once the but-ter foams, add the onion,celery, carrot, and garlic.

Stir to combine and cookfor two to three minutes,stirring occasionally un-til soft.

Add the flour, curry pow-der, garam masala, andthyme and cook for two tothree more minutes, stirringfrequently.

Slowly add the chick-en broth and stir to com-bine while adding to preventlumps.

Add the lentils and bayleaves.

Bring to a boil and thensimmer over low heat un-covered for 30 minutes, stir-ring occasionally.

Stir in the apple, chicken,and coconut milk. Contin-ue to simmer for another 10to 15 minutes to ensure thatthe lentils are cooked andto let the flavours come to-gether.

Season with the salt andpepper, discard the bayleaves, and serve immedi-ately.

Question:Should I put smoke bush

leaves in my compost?When I prune the branch-

es there’s quite a smell of res-in,and I’ve read you shouldn’tcompost leaves with a high oilcontent.I dry leaves on trays in my

basement to give me a supplyof carbon to compost throughthe winter.

– Donna Crosby,Coquitlam

Answer:The leaves of many aro-

matic plants contain essen-tial oils in tiny amounts, in-cluding herbs such as mint,thyme, etc. But I have nevercome across any suggestionaromatic plants should not

be used in compost.I’ve composted herb and

aromatic prunings for yearsas part of a general mix forcomposting and had no dis-cernable problems.

Since you can spread

your leaves out on trays, itsounds as if you don’t havea large quantity of leavesanyway. I’d say go aheadand compost them.

The only caution I mightmake is that a well-runcompost should have aswide a variety of compo-nents as possible.Thesecould be: leaves, grass-clip-pings, soil, weeds, manureand clipped prunings.Theidea is that no ingredientshould dominate.

It’s not impossible thatcompost with a huge quan-tity of aromatic leaves andnot much of anything elsecould cause problems forthe worms, slugs and friend-ly bacteria that help decom-position. After all, in pastcenturies, aromatic leaveswere used to deter ants,fleas, etc. from gaining ac-cess to a house.

There certainly are leavesthat can slow down com-posting by being reluctantto disintegrate (beech andsome oaks, for instance).Black walnut leaves containjuglone, which is toxic tomany plants.

Many gardeners won’tcompost them – althoughothers say black walnutleaves are fine if you com-post them by themselves fora year before adding themto a general compost.

Question:How do I preserve haw-

thorn branches so the berriesstay on them and remain at-tractive until Christmas?

I have had two suggestionsso far: cut them and store in acool dry place in a burlap sackor spray them with varnish.Do you have any suggestions?

– David Patching,Ladner

Answer:The traditional way of

keeping berries on decora-tive boughs is to mix onepart of glycerine to twoparts of boiling water.Thenhammer the end of each

stem until it is crushed andput the stems in a tall vasefor a month to six weeks.My vote would be for sixweeks.

It’s best if the room isdark and cool.

If the liquid level startsgoing down, add one partof glycerine to three partswater.

An anti-dessicant spray isalso supposed to keep theleaves and berries from dry-ing out.

Question:I have five hostas in six-

inch pots. Can I keep themin pots over the winter untilI know where to put them?I can stand my pots in sometall, empty containers togive them some protectionfrom the elements.Will thathelp?

– Irene Brown,Ladner

Answer:Yes, you can keep your

hostas in pots over the win-

ter. Hosta plants are ex-tremely hardy.

The tall, empty con-tainers would help protectthem, especially if you sur-rounded the inner pots withan insulating layer of leavesinside the tall containers.Anne Marrison is happy to

Natural Health Care

Licensed Naturpathic Physicianin B.C. since 1997


For a number of reasons,walk-in clinics have becomea necessary part of medi-cal care.

These no appointmentclinics can be helpful if youhave an urgent problem thatdoesn’t warrant a visit to theemergency department. Ex-amples include acute bacte-rial infections, such as blad-der infections, ear infectionsor tonsillitis. Of course, ifyour family doctor is avail-able, you should call the of-fice first.

Sometimes it seems moreconvenient to pop into awalk-in clinic for a prescrip-tion for the medications youregularly take. However, youmay need to wait severalhours to be seen when you

could have tried calling yourfamily doctor’s office for anappointment.

When you just can’t getin to see your regular doc-tor, a walk-in clinic is an ap-propriate option.

There may be addition-al consequences to con-venience. I had two pa-tients who had not had theirblood pressure and choles-terol levels appropriatelychecked for over two yearsbecause they went to walk-in clinics for prescription re-newals.

As a family doctor, whenI write prescriptions for on-going medications, I includethe quantity and numberof renewals consistent with

how frequently they need tobe reassessed. For example,when blood pressure is sta-ble, it should be measuredat least annually.With somemedications, periodic bloodtests are needed to ensurethat they do not adverselyaffect the kidneys or liver.

If you don’t have a familydoctor in town, the walk-inclinic may be the only placeyou can get your regularmedical care. If this is thecase, how can you ensurethat you get all the care youneed, including the screen-ing tests appropriate to yourage, gender, personal andfamily history?

If you get your care froma number of different fam-ily physicians, you mightbe fragmenting your care.Both you and your physi-cians may be operating ata disadvantage, not seeingthe complete picture of yourhealth over time.

Earlier this year the Col-lege of Physicians and Sur-geons of B.C. issued pro-fessional standards andguidelines for walk-in, ur-gent care and multi-physi-cian clinics.These standardshelp address the disparity inthe care you might receiveat a clinic compared to atraditional family practice.

The college stipulates thatall patient medical recordsmust identify your prima-ry health-care provider (orfamily physician), if thereis one, whether he or sheis at the clinic or at anoth-er location. Furthermore,with your consent, a copy orsummary of your visit (in-cluding copies of any tests)must be sent to your familyphysician.

The college also stipulatesthat if patients do not have aregular family physician, thesame walk-in, urgent care ormulti-physician clinic mustbe responsible for offer-ing the longitudinal medicalcare of a family physician,including appropriate peri-odic health examinations.

For some walk-in clinics –where most visits are for theepisodic care of single prob-lems – this is a significantchange in practice.They arenow expected to provide thesame standard of care as atraditional family practice.

If you do go to a walk-inclinic – because you can’tget in to see your familydoctor or if you don’t have afamily doctor, how can youensure you get the primarycare you need?

First, make sure that yourtreating physician has the

essential information totreat you safely. Before any-thing is prescribed to you,the doctor needs to knowthe names of all other med-ications you may be takingas well as any known drugallergies.The treating phy-sician also needs to knowabout any significant pastmedical history includingany ongoing health condi-tions, such as asthma, heartdisease, high blood pressureor diabetes.

You could provide all thisinformation on a single page

that you should give to aphysician treating you forthe first time.

If you don’t know ifyou might be due for anyscreening tests, such as dia-betes or cancer screening,ask, “Given my age, pasthistory and medical histo-ry, what tests should I bedoing?” I personally don’tfind that addressing screen-ing tests takes a great dealof time, and I consider thesame question with each pa-tient I see every day before Istep into the exam room to

address whatever concernsthey are presenting.

If you’d like to ensure thata physician has given thor-ough consideration in com-ing up with a diagnosis andtreatment, ask the follow-ing three questions. “Doc-tor, what else could it be?”“What’s the worst thing itcould be?” “What wouldyou advise your own familymember?”Dr.DavidicusWong is

a family physician at thePrimeCare Medical Centre inBurnaby.
