Federal Green Party leader Eliz-abeth May came to Burnaby onWednesday evening to lend somesupport to the Burnaby North-Sey-mour Green Party candidate’s cam-paign.

May joined Lynne Quarmby and adozen volunteers and supporters ral-lying at the intersection ofWillingdonAvenue and Hastings Street duringrush hour on Sept. 30.

“We’re really excited this after-noon, we’re out here waiting for Eliz-abeth May to arrive.We’re super ex-cited about that,” Quarmby said. “It’sjust a great boost in visibility, andit’s kind of a boost for the volunteerswho have been working so hard forso long.”

Quarmby has about 200 volunteersworking on her campaign, she said.

May was also accompanyingQuarmby to a town hall meeting atAlpha Secondary School at 7 p.m.,with a focus on questions from thecommunity.

“One of the hallmarks of the GreenParty is we listen and we communi-cate,” Quarmby said of the event. “Sowe’ll have two hours of Q&A down atAlpha Secondary.”

Trans Mountain has filed replacementevidence with the National Energy Board –exactly six weeks after the NEB announcedit would remove evidence from the hearingrecords made by the board’s most recentappointee, Steven Kelly.

Kelly of IHS Inc. worked as Kinder Mor-gan’s main energy consultant and arguedthe expansion project would bring high-er netbacks (or profits). His contributiontoTrans Mountain’s application – made inDecember of 2013 – was about 64 pagesout of the original 15,000-page document.

On July 28, the federal government an-

nounced Kelly had been appointed to a sev-en-year term on the board, effective Oct.13.The three-person panel deliberating onKinder Morgan’s file then decided to strikeall Kelly-related evidence.

The new evidence, an 89-page report,Market Prospects& Benefits of theTrans Moun-tain Expansion Project, wasprepared by Muse Stancil, aTexas-based energy consult-ing company.

“We are pleased with theanalysis and results of the new report,” saidIan Anderson, president of Kinder MorganCanada, in a press release.

But the City of Burnaby’s lawyer, Greg

McDade, told the NOW the report has“some pretty significant flaws.”

“They just flip-flop back and forth,” hesaid, adding he didn’t want to say much

more given the city is cur-rently looking over the newsubmission.

Intervenors have until Oct.20 to submit informationrequests based on the newdata, while commenters haveuntil Dec. 14.Trans Moun-

tain, meanwhile, will presentits case to the NEB in Calgary on Dec. 17.A location for the intervenors to presenttheir final arguments, however, has not beendetermined. It was originally scheduled to

take place this month at the Delta BurnabyHotel and Conference Centre.

“(We’re) looking into options of whereto hold the hearing,” saidTara O’Donovanwith the NEB. “When you are trying tobook a facility with only three or fourmonths’ notice, it’s much harder than whenyou’re planning a year out.”

O’Donovan added Burnaby is being con-sidered as a possible host.

The NEB also announced last week thedeadline for a decision on the pipeline hasbeen extended by four months to allow theNEB and intervenors time to review andtest the new evidence. Previously, a reportoutlining whether the expansion project

Aquatics groups are shor-ing up support for a newworld-class aquatic facili-ty they’d like to see built inBurnaby.

The city is in the ear-ly stages planning a newaquatic centre on the cur-rent C.G. Brown site nearthe Burnaby Lake SportsComplex, and the localaquatic community is push-ing for a world-class com-petition pool rather thananother recreation-focusedfacility like the last twopools the city built: EileenDaly and Edmonds.

Those pools have been allbut unusable for competi-tive clubs like the BurnabyBarracudas Swim Club, ac-cording to president LauraMarquez.

“We need communi-ty water space as well,” shesaid. “I’m not saying thatwe don’t, but there’s hourswhere it’s even good busi-ness for the city to rent outto groups like ours whocan use it for running pro-grams.”

In a glossy draft propos-al drawn up byTourismBurnaby, the Barracudas,Simon Fraser Universi-ty’s varsity aquatics pro-gram, the BurnabyWaterPolo Club, Fortius Sport&Health and other area swimclubs call on the city to con-sidered a facility with twodeep, Olympic-sized pools(one indoor, one outdoor),deck space for training andcompetition, competition-calibre diving boards, seat-ing for 2,000 spectators,digital scoreboards, tim-ing system, broadcast qual-ity broadband and lightingplus meeting rooms, storagespace, office space and foodand beverage outlets.

The proposal touts thebenefits of a world-class fa-

cility for attracting marqueenational and internation-al events to the city and formeeting the currently un-met needs of local compet-itive swimmers, divers andwater polo players.

The Barracudas program,for example, is current-ly spread out over five localpools and one pool in NewWestminster to meet theneeds of its 307 swimmers,according to Marquez.

Her club was capped thisyear and had to turn swim-mers away, she said, as didthe 200-strong Burnaby

Mountain Mantas.“If we were one club,

we’d be the biggest in Brit-ish Columbia,” Marquezsaid. “There’s a lot of swim-mers.”

SFU’s varsity swim-mers, meanwhile, will haveto drive out to Richmondto prepare for upcomingOlympic trials, accordingto SFU head varsity swimcoach Liam Donnelly, be-cause Burnaby’s only Olym-pic-sized pool is outdoors atCentral Park.

Donnelly was at a schoolboard meeting last month,

seeking a letter of supportfrom the board explaininghow the new pool would

benefit the district’s schoolpartnership sports programswith SFU.

Thirty-six swimmers andsoccer players currentlyearn course credits and gettop-level training from SFUcoaches and varsity athletesunder the program, whichruns within the district’s ac-ademic timetable.

With the proposed facil-ity, Donnelly told trusteesthe partnership could be ex-panded to 100 students inaquatic sports alone.

“The programs wouldrun within their currenthigh school academic time-table, during the day, whilethe aquatic facilities are at

their lowest usage point,”Donnelly said. “The cityhas concern that, shouldthey build a large aquat-ic complex that would ac-commodate the communitycompetitive sports groups,that it would sit empty dur-ing school hours.”

The B.C.Water Polo As-sociation, meanwhile, wrotea letter in August, urgingthe city not to build a small-er aquatic centre.

Executive director DavidSoul stated in the letter thataquatic groups had heard

Burnaby RCMP arethanking the public for itshelp in catching the suspectin a shooting onWednesdayevening.

Mounties were called to

the Old Orchard ShoppingCentre atWillingdon Ave-nue and Kingsway around6:30 p.m. on Sept. 30 aftercomplaints of shots fired.

The suspect in the shoot-ing was quickly arrestedthanks to a group of by-standers who had chased

him down and held himuntil officers arrived, Cpl.Daniela Panesar, spokesper-son for the Burnaby RCMP,told the NOW.

“It was pretty awesome,”Panesar added.

One man, a 26-year-oldBurnaby resident, suffered

non-life-threatening gun-shot wounds.

He was taken to hospitalfor treatment and released,and has been cooperatingwith police, according toPanesar.

The initial investigationsuggests the shooting was

sparked by an argument be-tween two groups of people.

Panesar said it’s unclearwhether the two parties inWednesday night’s shootingknew each other.

Investigators believe thisis an isolated incident andnot connected to Sunday’s

shooting outside of REVSbowling on LougheedHighway, Panesar said. Inthat incident, a bystand-er was shot after two par-ties got into a fight that isbelieved to have been a dis-pute over a taxicab.

It happens every election– campaigns signs are de-stroyed or stolen. But re-cently, the signs for theLiberal candidate in theBurnaby South riding havebeen the focus of some par-ticularly concentrated andbizarre destruction.

The eyes have been cutout of seven of Adam Pan-kratz’s large campaign signs,according to his father, JohnPankratz.

John and family friendshave been helping Adamby putting up signs at thehomes and businesses ofsupporters, but it hasn’tbeen easy work, particular-ly over the past three weeks,according to John.

“It’s been a process,” hetold the NOW. “We just hadanother one this morning –Royal Oak, south of Saun-ders. Somebody’s cut theeyes out there.”

In the same area, atGrange Street and Roy-al Oak Avenue, 30 smallersigns were slashed, accord-ing to John.

Other signs have beenvandalized in a variety ofways, from the wires beingremoved to letters scribbledout with markers, he added.

In one instance, the signsJohn put up were vandalizedthrice within a short timeperiod, he said.

The signs were hung on afence at a work site at GilleyAvenue and Kingsway, af-ter John spoke to the owner,he said.

He went to pick up hiswife, who was door knock-ing for Adam’s campaign,and took her back to showher the fence.Within 20minutes, all the signs hadbeen slashed, he said.

He taped them up andhung them up from insidethe fence, and someone cutall the plastic ties, he add-ed.Then he used wire, andthus far, the signs are still

up.The NOW has not re-

ceived any reports of signvandalism from other can-didates in Burnaby, thoughthere has been mention onTwitter of Liberal, NDPand Green campaign signsbeing vandalized aroundMt. Seymour Parkway inNorthVancouver, in theBurnaby North-Seymourriding.

If you notice campaignsigns in the city that havebeen targeted by vandals,please email [email protected] with theinformation.

ThismarriageclearlyneedshelpLabour negotiations can

be tricky in most situations,but in Burnaby they can beespecially tricky.

Take the current labourdispute between the City ofBurnaby and the city’s fire-fighters’ union.

The firefighters have beenwithout a collective agree-ment for quite some time,and depending upon whoyou ask, it’s either the city’sdeliberate fault, or the fire-fighters’ fault.

The firefighters say the

city council and mayor aredeliberately stalling nego-tiations between city staffand the union.The city, ofcourse, denies this and saysthe firefighters’ union de-layed bargaining, letting thecontract sit in limbo.

At this point in time bothparties in the dispute haveagreed on an arbitrator andbinding arbitration. Butthe city wants two days re-served, while the firefighterssay it will just take a day.

Both parties haven’t dis-

closed a lot of details aboutthe proposals, but what hasbeen reported is tantaliz-ing. Apparently no one isexpecting much more (orless) in wages than the other33 fire departments in theprovince received. But, ap-parently, the city wants itsfirefighters to give up some“things” in exchange forthat raise.

What exactly those“things” are, no one is say-ing. Are these things thatcity firefighters already have,

or are they “things” that thefirefighters have on theircurrent bargaining wish list?

Critics of city councilhave often pointed out thecozy relationship betweenthe city’s political leadersand the city’s unions.TheBCA clearly owes a lot of itspolitical success to laboursupport. And critics havealso rightly questioned whatthe union supporters receiveor expect to receive for thatsupport.

The firefighters’ union’s

previous relationship withthe political structure wasclearly supportive. And cityhall, in the past, has appre-ciated that support.

But now a rift has ap-peared, and it’s an ugly one.

The firefighters ap-peared at city council Mon-day night wearing yellowT-shirts that read “We supportthose who support us.”

We assume that messagewas meant for the city’s po-litical leaders who have ben-efited from the union’s sup-

port in the past: a ratherblunt reminder that if thecity treats them unfairly, theunion will not support themin the future.

As city Coun. Paul Mc-Donell says, “Sometimesit’s like marriage.You agreewhen you have a disputeand sometimes you have togo to counselling (arbitra-tion).”

The problem with thismarital counselling is thatboth parties really can’t af-ford a divorce.

How not to help out

Parting issuchsweetsorrow

I have a confession tomake.

I have been accused ofbias over the years, as havemost reporters. SometimesI’m left-leaning, accordingto the source, other timesI’m right-leaning. Some-times I’m considered toocozy with this interest groupor that one. But those arenot my biases. My bias, thebig one, is fiction.

If I can work a snippet ofpoetry or a comic book ref-erence or sometimes justthe title of a favourite workinto a piece, it’s a good dayfor me.

I love words of all kinds,but the words used in abeautiful piece of literature,in a ghost story, or even in apoem that tries really hardbut doesn’t quite make it –those are the words I lovemost.Therein lies my bias.

And so, the headline…pilfered from Shakespeare,I’m afraid. But the senti-ment is mine. Because I amleaving, and it is incrediblybittersweet.

I have worked at theBurnaby NOW for half adecade. Like many report-ers given a chance by editorPatTracy, I came in to cov-er a reporter’s vacation anda few months later, I had ajob.While many of my fel-low j-school graduates pan-icked about the recession, Ihad a real, honest-to-good-ness full-time reporting job.

I was, and am, incrediblygrateful. Not just to Pat, butto all of you – you’ve sharedyour stories and opinionswith me; your passion, youranger, your hopes and your

doubts. I’ve watched yourbusinesses start and strug-gle and catch hold in thecommunity. I’ve spoken toamazing people over theyears. I’ve learned a lot fromall of you.

In addition to Pat, I owea debt of gratitude to manyother people who helpedme along. My first editor af-ter Langara was Barry Linkat the Vancouver Couri-er. He allowed me to internthere and work with report-ers I’d admired for years.Barry was incredibly pa-tient, even while helping methrough my awful constant-errors-due-to-blind-panicstage. Each of the people inthat newsroom taught meso much about telling sto-ries, about connecting withthe community, about be-ing ethical and about beinga good human being whilealso being a good reporter.

Before journalism school,I have to confess (yes, an-other confession), I had nounderstanding of journal-ism ethics. It is a constant,careful balancing act. ButI was fortunate enough tobe taught by Ross How-ard, who helped me learnthe ethical parameters ofthe job and solidify my ownethical standards. He alsopushed us to be better, towrite clear and concise arti-cles, to tighten, always tight-en. He might have some-thing to say about the lengthof this goodbye column, ac-tually, so I should probablywrap it up.

While I have worked forthe NOW for more than five

Lay off the hosannasDear EditorOnceagain, Ziggy Eckardt (Trend-ing comments, Sept. 25) feels theneed to raisehis voice and sing thepraises of theHarpergovernment. Hosanna! Canada is the landofmilk andhoney, and it’s all becauseof theHarper government.Maybe the thousandsofhomeless people, or thehundreds of thou-sands ofworkingpoor,might see it differently.Mr. Eckardt claims that “Canada’s interna-

tional reputationhas never beenhigher.”Now,thatmight havebeen truebackwhenLesterPearsonwon theNobel Prize, andprobablyfor several decadesbefore andafter. In thosedays, Canadianswere lovedwherever theywent in theworld. In thosedays, Americanswouldwear Canadian flagswhen theywentabroad. Today, thematerial reality is that theHarper government hasworked very hard todestroyCanada’s international reputation,and it has been very successful.Today, thematerial reality is that theHarper

government has earned the “Fossil of the YearAward,” five years in a row. Shame. Today, thematerial reality is that theHarper governmenthasbeen criticizedby theUnitedNations forits human rights record. Shame.Under theHarper government, Canada is theonly indus-trializednation that cannotmanage todeliverthemail. Shame.Under theHarper govern-ment, Canada is theonly industrializednationthat rejects science. Shame.This is the legacy of theHarper government

years, I started in the indus-try 20 years ago. My moth-er, Cathrine Fuller, was areporter on the SunshineCoast when I was grow-ing up, and I always want-ed her job.When I was inhigh school, she introducedme to the editor of TheCoast News, JoAnne Ben-nison. JoAnne offered methe chance to write a col-umn geared to high schoolstudents, and I loved it. Iwas also quite terrible. Butshe read those columns andturned them into somethingreadable, which was an in-credible gift.

She also gave me an im-portant piece of advice. Ifyou’re considering journal-ism because you want to bea writer, she said, don’t. Re-porters don’t have muchtime or inclination to writeanything else, and editorscan’t stop editing them-

selves.Twenty years later, I am

heeding her advice. I wantto be a writer. I want to cre-ate worlds instead of report-ing on this particular one.Sensible or not, I’m leavingjournalism for fiction. OK,I know it isn’t sensible. Butit is time. And so, as of Fri-day, Oct. 2, I am leaving theNOW.

Thank you to everyonewho has allowed me to telltheir stories, to everyone inthe newsrooms I’ve workedin, to my fine colleagues – ithas been wonderful.

See you in the funny pag-es.Janaya Fuller-Evans works

“It just drags this out foranother four months, whichis unfortunate,” McDadesaid. “I think the real issueis what it does to the cred-ibility of the panel and theprocess.They’ve just com-pletely mishandled this.”

Even though the city willbe submitting new informa-tion requests, the NEB pro-cess is still broken, he add-ed.

“There’s no way, regard-less of the result, that it hasany credibility at the end.

The other parties who sug-gest they need to fix theprocess are probably rightbecause from a legal per-spective, this has just beenbutchered. It’s a misnomerto call it a public hearing.It’s not,” he said. “The in-formation request processhas been a joke so far be-cause you ask the questionsin good faith.The companythen has their lawyer writeanswers that are non-an-swers, and then the Nation-al Energy Board says thoseare fine.”

As for whether or not thenew timelines will impactthe project, Kinder Morgan

spokesperson Ali Hounsellcouldn’t say.

“We’re not certain yet.We’re looking at what theimplications could be, andthat could take us a little bitof time,” she told the NOW.

Kinder Morgan has con-struction scheduled to startin 2016, with the pipeline tobe in service by 2018.

The $5.4-billion proj-ect, if approved, would seetheTrans Mountain pipe-line system twinned all theway from Alberta to Burna-by, with capacity increasingfrom 300,000 barrels of oilper day to 890,000.

the city was considering asmaller, six-lane, 75-metrepool for C.G. Brown.

“The differences betweenthese outcomes in termsof both local communityaquatic programming andin benefits to the Burna-by business community areextremely significant,” hewrote. “The smaller facilitywould not be optimal for lo-cal club programming andwould in fact restrict bothactive for life and compet-itive offerings for aquaticsports at all but the young-est youth age groups.”

City director of parks, rec-reation and culture Dave El-lenwood, however, said thecity has made no decisionsyet about things like thenumber of lanes or the con-figuration of the new facility.

“I don’t know where wa-ter polo would have devel-oped an idea that we weredecided on some things,” hesaid, “but it seems to usu-ally happen where peoplehear rumours or somethinglike that.”

City council only just ap-proved a $350,000 feasibil-ity study Monday to lookinto the C.G. Brown proj-

ect, he said, and over thenext eight months or so,all stakeholders will have achance to give input.

While Ellenwood said he’snot ruling anything out, atwo-pool facility at the sitewould pose challenges.

“That would be a bigfootprint, and the soils arenot great there,” Ellenwoodsaid. “It also would be morecostly, so council wouldhave to determine if that’ssomething they could affordto do.”

When Dave Ford retiredfrom a long career as anelectrician at a Powell Riv-er pulp and paper mill, thelate-60-something thoughthe had at least a couple de-cades to enjoy his goldenyears.

Two years later, he wasdiagnosed with cancer.Eighteen months after that,he died.

“I think we were all com-pletely shocked,” his daugh-terTracy told the NOW.“As far as we knew, hewas healthy, he hadn’t hadhealth issues throughout hislife, or anything like that. Itcame completely out of theblue.”

Ford was diagnosed withmesothelioma, a cancer inthe lining of the lung causedby exposure to asbestos.

“He was always so safe-ty conscience at work,”Tra-cy said. “But sometimespeople don’t know. I mean,my dad didn’t know thatthe products he was han-dling had a deadly materialin them.”

Tracy, who lives in NewWest and works in Burna-by at an engineering firm,has collaborated withWork-SafeBC to create awarenessthat work-related diseases –like those related to asbestos– have become the leadingcause of work-related deathsin the province, surpassingtraumatic injuries.

In 2014, asbestos-relat-ed diseases resulted in 77deaths, 18 more than in2013, according to newWorkSafeBC statistics.

After her father’s passing,Tracy and her mom decid-ed to do something. Orig-inally, the pair wanted tohost a one-time fundrais-er in Powell River, with allproceeds to be donated to aCanadian asbestos-relatedcharity.

“I couldn’t find any, and Ithought that was a little oddbecause after my dad passedaway, we learned asbestos-related diseases were theNo. 1 occupation killer rightacross Canada and it was aglobal issue.”

After making some con-nections, the pair launchedthe Asbestos Related Re-

search, Education & Ad-vocacy (AREA) Fund in2010.

Their initial goal wasto raise $10,000. By theend of last year, more than

$100,000 had been re-ceived.

The money has gone tosupport an array of initia-tives, including a sympo-sium on mesothelioma, a

UBC study that sought todetermine why few meso-thelioma victims apply forcompensation, and more.

An awareness walk called“Walk forTruth” was also

established as another wayof getting the word outabout asbestos.

“We don’t want to scarepeople,”Tracy told the

NOW. “There’s nothingwe can do about past expo-sures, and many people willget exposed and not get sick.The problem is that unfor-tunately, thousands do.”

She added she and herfamily live in a 1930s homethat was renovated in the’70s and contains asbestos.

“When we did renova-tions a couple of years ago,we paid someone to comeand remove it. I know a lotof people complain about

the money, but it’s reallyworth it.

“There are no knowncures for the diseases asbes-tos creates, and there’s noknown safe exposure level. Ifyou’re going to do any sortof renovations, demolition,even repairs where you’recutting into steel and tiles,have the material tested.”

Tracy added the processwas a bit “scary,” in that ev-erything had to be taped offand workers had to wearbiohazard suits.

Besides creating aware-ness and providing financialhelp to asbestos-related re-search, the Fords want ac-tion.They want the Cana-dian government to ban themineral, followed by a com-prehensive strategy that out-lines support for victims andaddresses other lingering ef-fects.

“Hopefully preventingsome people from goingthrough what he had to gothrough,”Tracy said.

18-MONTH TERM DEPOSIT

It all startedwith a missedmeeting.Carolyn Orazietti was arelative newcomer to thelocal community policingadvisory committee. Shejoined the committee aspart of her role as theexecutive director of theNorth Road BusinessImprovementAssociation,thinking it’d be a good placeto make connections thatcould benefit the businessowners sheworkswith.Aftermissing a meeting,she returned the followingmonth to find she’d beenelected secretary – and shehasn’t missed a meetingsince, she told the NOWwith a chuckle.“I just stayed on it becausewe struck up really goodworking relationships,”Orazietti said.Thatwas six years ago.Today, Orazietti is thechair of District 2’scommunity policing advisorycommittee, orCPAC,which is made up of about16 members and overseessafety concerns for oneof the largest areas in the

city – Lougheed and thearea surrounding area. She’sbecome an avid championfor the local RCMP, spoutingthe importance of fosteringa relationshipwith police inorder to help keep the citysafe.“The police have helped usoutwith many differentinitiatives, whether it’ssending advice that we thensend on to the merchants ortakingwalking tours of thearea or doing communityoutreach,” she said.But it’s definitely a two-waystreet.Part of her role as CPACchair is to encourage thebusiness owners sheworkswith day-to-day to reportcrimes to the RCMP. Shealso acts as a go-betweenfor the two groups, bringingconcerns voiced by thebusiness community to theCPAC meetings aswell asthe public safety committeemeetings. (The public safetycommittee is the committeethat oversees all fourCPACdistricts and brings togethercity councillors, communitymembers, business owners

and residents.)The NOW recently caughtupwith Orazietti to hear

what she had to say aboutsafety in her area andwhy it’s so important to

maintain a healthyworkingrelationshipwith theBurnabyRMCP. Check out

herQ-and-A below.– Cayley Dobie

What’s the relationshiplike between the BurnabyRCMP and North Roadbusinesses?

We have quite a Kore-an area in our business areaso … we really try and helpthe Korean businesses un-derstand how policing canhelp them out with theirconcerns. Even the chief ofpolice (Supt. Dave Critch-ley) and Insp. (Michael) La-bossiere and Coun. (Piet-ro) Calendino came to ourarea with me last year andwent door-to-door becausethere’s quite a boundarythat we have to cross withthe different kind of nation-alities. … I can’t even tellyou how much we rely onthem. It’s community po-licing, so they help us edu-cate our merchants in howto better protect themselvesagainst crime. Not that wehave a huge criminal ele-ment here, we don’t, butthere is crime, we are a bigcity. It puts the power backin the merchants’ hands,and that’s what they want.They want to know what to

look for, they want to knowhow to report, all that kindof stuff.

Tell me about the Dis-trict 2 CPAC.

We’ve got two studentsfrom Burnaby Moun-tain and one from Burna-by North, and they’re real-ly proactive, like wow, youcan’t believe it, they’re do-ing projects, and they’restarting clubs, and they doa lot of work with the stu-dent liaison officers too, andwe started a graffiti bust-ers club at Burnaby Moun-tain. It just lets the studentstake ownership of theircommunity, and also a re-ally great thing too, they’re… kind of demonstratingto their peer group that po-lice are part of a really suc-cessful, vibrant communi-ty, and if we all want to doour part, we should partnerwith the police and not viewthem as a threatening groupor somebody to be feared atall, they’re partners in a safe,healthy community.

What about the rest ofthe CPACmembers?

There are a lot of differ-ent people on CPAC, likesome people head crime

watch, some people headup a BlockWatch, and thenthere’s a different kind ofrepresentative from the dif-ferent neighbourhood com-munities that are prominentin each of the districts, andwe even have people fromSimon Fraser, the head ofsecurity at Simon Fraser(University), and we haveSgt. Hawthorne from theTransit Police.We start-ed having a new guy fromthe CN/CP police. …Wehave people from Camer-on Rec, Creek Side com-munity, Stoney Creek, it’sreally good, and we wantpeople to be very vocal, likedon’t feel that your problemisn’t big enough to mention,there’s no such thing.

What are some of theconcerns/issues in yourarea?

We had a problem at oneof our malls with a group ofpeople who were very suspi-cious who wouldn’t go awayfrom the mall, and so then Igot in touch with the prop-erty owners and explainedthe problem and said, ‘Wewant to get security camer-as up,’ and by the way theRCMP recommends to putup cameras because they

can do some surveillance,but they’re teaching us, thecommunity, how to takecharge of our own proper-ty. So then, we got a greatresponse from the propertyowners.

What are some of thesuccesses you’ve had?

We started to a programcalled Heads Up, and it wasone my husband started athis BIA in Cloverdale, andso what we do is if there’sa suspect in the area, like aperson who’s suspected ofbreaking into cars – that’s abig, important issue for usbecause we want our cus-tomers to feel safe and se-cure here – so if there’s aproblem with people doingBNEs (break-and-enters)on cars, like theft from autoand theft of auto, we wantto know about it. So the po-lice can’t send us a picturebut that doesn’t prevent ourown security teams frompassing around pictures,and we send them to themerchants.They love it be-cause they feel like empow-ered.They feel like they’rein the driver’s seat and theyknow who to watch for andwhat the problems are inthe area.

Anything else?I’ve got a little chain go-

ing with the seniors’ net-work. I’ve got friends whoare seniors, so I’ll passalong safety tips to them,so yeah, it’s a good lit-tle network we’ve got overhere in Lougheed. Peopleare really involved, and wehave a good working feed-back, I have to say.We’vegot some people who’vebeen on SpeedWatch for 20years.They’re so dedicated,they’re such good citizensand it’s so nice of them tostep forward, they’ve kind ofbeen spokespeople for theirend of things. It’s super pro-active, it’s a nice way to getinvolved.

What have youlearned?

I just know who to phone(she laughs). Seriously.When you know who youcan phone, and you knowthey’re going to be action-oriented, you just kind ofsay what you problem is,how long it’s been goingon, where it is and what’sthe game plan, how canyou help attack that prob-lem, and who do we needto get involved at the table,and that’s how we’ve been

working it so far. I’ll justhave community meetingshere on my own, and we’vecalled people in to discussarea concerns, and then I’lltake those to the CPAC.Just to be seen as a personwho can facilitate the reso-lution of your problem, asa group.That’s what CPACis, so people shouldn’t feelafraid to get involved.Thecommunity is only as strongas the relationship with thepolice sometimes. I thinkit’s really important to pressthat point that people aretotally invited to participate.

GarlicandlemonjuicekeytoGreekcooking

Of my cooking classes,Greek are the most popularby far and this stems frommy own passion for the fla-vours of Greece. Almost ev-eryone I talk to loves Greekfood and has frequentedtheir local Greek restaurantsmany times. People are al-ways quick to

I joke with people all thetime that to create Greekfood one basically adds oliveoil, garlic, lemon juice andoregano to anything, andit’s Greek. Although thesemay be common denomina-tors in many Greek recipes,there’s a bit more to it thanthat to make good Greekfood.

The most important thingto remember is ingredientsfrom the source will alwaystaste better in the final dish.Two ingredients that alwayscome to mind when dis-cussing this are garlic andlemon juice.

Garlic should never comefrom a jar. I see people instores buying these large jarsof peeled, chopped garlicin brine, and I question it.The response is usually, “It’scheap and convenient.”

Sounds like fast food tome. Just because somethingis cheap and convenient,doesn’t mean we should useit.Take any fresh cut vege-table (or fruit for that mat-ter) and soak it in a jar fullof brine – where does theflavour go? It leaches intothe brine. So people whotake a slotted spoon andadd some of this garlic toa dish and say, “I’m cook-ing with garlic” – I respondand say, “No, you’re cook-ing with a residual that wasonce garlic, and now mostof the natural flavour hasgone into the brine, whichyou’re going to dump downthe drain in a year once youhave gotten through thathumongous jar.”

Many people also will-ingly pass through the pro-duce section, walking by the

lemons, on their way to thejuice aisle to grab a bottleof lemon juice … again forthe same reason: cheap andconvenient.

If you go to a lemon or-chard in Florida or Italy,there are not bottles hang-ing from the trees. A recon-stituted juice from concen-trate will not give you thesame flavour as what’s of-fered from a fresh lemon.Plus you have the added bo-nus of reaping the aromat-ic and colourful zest fromthe outer peel to utilize asan additional ingredient orbeautiful garnish.

We have to rememberthe term “cheap and con-venient” is not a synonymfor flavour, and if you wantyour Greek food, or anyfood, to taste better youneed to go to the source ofthe ingredient you are add-ing for optimal results.

Business has been pick-ing up for one of Burnaby’snewly established floatingservices.

Craig MacGregor andRandy Nyholt opened thedoors to Float Sense – lo-cated at 6540 Burling-ton Ave. – on Canada Day.Since then, the entrepre-neurs say they averageabout eight to 10 clientsa day, about double com-pared to July’s numbers.

“It’s definitely more thanwe anticipated,” MacGregortold the NOW, adding ren-ovations are underway for apossible fourth tank to com-plement the three alreadyon site.

Floatation – where sub-jects get inside a soundprooftank to float in salt water atskin temperature – was firstused in the 1950s to testthe effects of sensory de-privation.Today, many usethe therapy for relaxation,meditation and for chronicpain and illnesses like anxi-ety and fibromyalgia, Mac-Gregor said.

He and his business part-ner (who also happens tobe a childhood friend) firstheard about floatation acouple years ago after listen-ing to a Joe Rogan podcast.The pair, who were living inEdmonton at the time andworking in construction andpersonal training, decidedto try it out.

“It was pretty profound,”MacGregor said. “For me,it let me put my ego to restand really take a deep lookinwards at myself, very pow-erful and relaxing.”

Other benefits, he added,included a shorter recoverytime between his workouts.

“It didn’t take long af-ter our first couple of ex-periences where we werelike, ‘Hey, let’s put togethersome kind of business plan,so we can share this prac-tice with everyone.’We de-cided Burnaby was the rightplace. I knew the area pret-ty well, and I knew the gen-eral population was a littlemore open-minded to thattype of thing,” MacGregorexplained.

Many first-time clients,however, are skeptical, henoted.

“They think, ‘Oh, whycan’t I do this at home, layin the bathtub and fill it upwith salts?’To be honest,those people are the oneswho have those life-chang-ing experiences,” he said.

Battling skepticism, andclaustrophobia even, can be

achieved by explaining thefloating process, MacGregorsaid.

“We don’t want to tellthem what will happen be-cause it’s very versatile. Ev-ery experience is different.

We want them to give thema canvas to paint their ownway.”

MacGregor likened flo-tation to yoga, where thosewho practise it must com-mit to a regular schedule tosee results.

“Lots of artists go in thereto get creative,” he said.“When you limit the senso-ry input, your brain has notmuch left to do other thanto be guided into a deepmeditative calm.”

Float Sense’s three tanksare heated to 93.5 degreesFahrenheit and are filledwith 10 inches of water thatcontains 800 pounds of dis-solved Epsom salt. A ses-sion costs around $70, butthere is a $39 introducto-ry float being offered at themoment.

It is recommended that smoke alarms beinstalled on every floor of your home and outside each sleeping area.For maximum protection, install a smoke alarm in every bedroom,especially if you sleep with your bedroom door closed.

Remember to test the batteries in your smoke alarms at regularintervals and ensure your family has a fire escape plan.

IF YOU HAVE A COOKING FIRE...• Just get out! When you leave, close the door behindyou to help contain the fire.• Call 911 or the local emergency number after youleave.• If you try to fight the fire, be sure others are gettingout and you have a clear way out.• Keep a lid nearby when you’re cooking to smothersmall grease fires.

SmokeAlarms

Preventing home fires inBurnaby is always our numberone priority. We work in part-

nership with our citizens. Burnaby’sresidents need to provide the bestprotection to keep their homes andfamilies safe in the event of a fire.This can be achieved by developingan escape plan which you practiceregularly and equipping homes withlife-saving technologies like smokealarms and home fire sprinklers.

The following tips will help keepyour family safe if there is a fire inyour home:

• Install smoke alarms inside eachbedroom, outside each sleepingarea, and on every level of the home(including the basement).

• Interconnect all smoke alarms inthe home so when one sounds, theyall sound.

• Test smoke alarms at least monthlyand replace all smoke alarms whenthey are 10 years old or sooner ifthey do not respond when tested.

• Make sure everyone in your homeknows how to respond if the smokealarm sounds.

• Pull together everyone in yourhousehold and make a plan. Walkthrough your home and inspect allpossible ways out. Households withchildren should consider drawinga floor plan of your home, markingtwo ways out of each room, includ-ing windows and doors.

• If you are building or remodellingyour home, consider installing homefire sprinklers.

If a Fire Actually Starts:

In the event that a fire does start inthe home, the following steps shouldbe taken:

1. First, get out!

2. Dial 911 from a neighbour’s house.

3. Don’t go back into the burninghouse.

4. If you think someone is trappedinside, tell the firefighters whenthey arrive.

MAKE SURE A FIRE NEVER STARTS BY FOLLOWINGTHESE SIMPLE TIPS:• If you smoke use large, deep ashtrays. If anyone in the homesmokes, smoke outside. Never smoke in bed.

• Don’t reach for danger! Wear tight-fitting or rolled-up sleeveswhen cooking and don’t reach over a hot burner. Always stayin the kitchen when you are cooking.

• Always blow out candles before leaving the room.• Ensure items that can burn are one metre away from spaceheaters.

• Avoid overloading the electrical outlets. Extension cordsshould be used only as a temporary connection.

• Avoid running cords under rugs, which can damage the cordand cause a fire.

• Install a smoke alarm on every level of your home and outsideall sleeping areas. Test smoke alarms once a month andreplace the battery once a year, or whenever the low-batterywarning sounds.

• Know exactly what to do and where to go if there is a fire. Planand practice your escape! Develop a home fire escape plan orrefer to your building’s fire safety plan.

• Once you’ve escaped the fire, call the fire department from aneighbour’s home.

PerformanceCarried over from the G-Series,the standard engine in theQ50 is a refined 3.7-litre V6.Rated at 328 hp and 260lb-ft of torque, it features aContinuously Variable ValveTiming Control System andVariable Valve Event & Lift.

An advanced hybridpowertrain is also available.Featuring Infiniti DirectResponse Hybrid system withIntelligent Dual Clutch Control, thispowertrain combines a 3.5-litre V6 witha 50 kW electric motor. Total system output is360 hp and is designed to put performance first, whilenot sacrificing fuel economy.

Regardless of the powertrain, all Q50’s come with a7-speed electronically controlled automatic transmissionwith a manual shift mode. The Q50 is also available inrear-wheel drive and Intelligent All-Wheel Drive withboth powertrains.

If you are doing any long distance commuting, theQ50 is a very comfortable car to drive. Very little windnoise enters the cabin and noise cancelling softwareneutralizes engine drone. The suspension also does adecent job of handling road imperfections.

The Q50 also deals with corners well. It has lots of gripand very little body roll.

Four-time Formula 1 Champion Sebastian Vettel helpedhone the Q50’s driving characteristics. As a result, onewould expect it to be the most fun to drive car in thissegment.

Sadly, the Infiniti Q50 is still not as great as the BMW 3Series or Audi A4 when it comes to the handling feel. Themain culprit is its somewhat numb steering character.Infiniti is not alone in this regard, however. Most luxury

cars are trading heavy, sportysteering for light and easy(spelled “numb”) feel.

The Q50’s standard speed-sensitive steering lacks roadfeel although Infiniti’s DirectAdaptive Steering steer-by-wire system is available asan option. This allows youalter the weight and responseof the steering, improvingthe feel.

EnvironmentThe cabin of the Q50 is alsoa major departure from theG-Series. Material qualityhas improved and the luxuryappointments are everywhere.

Distinctiveand Comfortable

One of those appointments will beappreciated by owners who share

driving duties. Infiniti InTuitionsystem can recognize andadjust seating, climate, audio,navigation and telematic settingsfor up to four different drivers.

Front seats offer good comfortand the dual touchscreen

displays are within easy reach.

The infotainment system maydivide opinions, though. The two

screens work in tandem, so the upperscreen will show the map or reversing

view, while the lower accesses various in-carapps and feels like an iPad Mini to use.

Infiniti moved the B-pillar forward nearly an inch to makeentry and exit to the rear seats easier. Knee room for rearpassengers is ample thanks to thin front seatbacks.

The raised centre seat and transmission tunnel makes itdifficult to accommodate three adults in the rear. However,all compact luxury sedans have this same issue.

On top of its spacious cabin, the Q50 also has a decenttrunk space. Luggage space in base models is 13.5cubic feet and hybrid models offer 9.4 cubic feet.

FeaturesStarting prices for the standard Q50 range from$37,500 to $48,950. The Q50 Hybrid is priced at$49,500.

Standard equipment includes dual-zone automaticclimate control, keyless entry, a rearview camera,cruise control, glass moonroof, SiriusXM Satelliteradio, and Bluetooth.

Additional features, available as options or on ahigher trim, include heated front seats, 14-speakerPremium Audio System, sport tuned suspension, solid-magnesium paddle shifters, Around View Monitor,blind spot monitor, Predictive Forward CollisionWarning, and Lane Departure Warning.

Fuel efficiency numbers (L/100km) for rear-wheeldrive models are 12.0 city and 8.1 highway. All-wheeldrive models return 12.5 city and 8.7 highway, whilethe hybrid sees 8.7 city and 7.5 highway.

Thumbs UpThe strengths of the Infiniti Q50 are its engine power,interior comfort and reasonable price. Design is uniqueand interesting.

Thumbs DownWhile the Q50 is comfortable to commute in, drivingenthusiasts will lament the steering feel and lack of atraditional manual transmission.

The Bottom LineThe Infiniti Q50 is an appealing alternative withdistinctive styling and a long list of features.

One look at the Infiniti Q50 and you knowthat it is distinctively different from theGerman and American luxury cars.

Designed to attract BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Audi A4 fans, the InfinitiQ50 offers a unique Japanese or Asianflavour.

Along with its bold appearance, the Q50 hasa sporty interior and cutting edge technology. Aftera successful debut last year - the Q50 was named afinalist for 2014 World Car of the Year and earned anEdmunds.com “Top Rated Vehicle” award - it enters2015 largely unchanged. The only addition of note isa new Performance Wheel Package boasting 19-inchRAYS lightweight wheels.

DesignMore than just a replacement for the G-Series, the Q50was a virtually all-new luxury sport sedan last year andset the direction for Infiniti cars in the future.

The Q50 features flowing body panels which givesa premium feel to its athletic proportions. Havingthe “expected” four-doors and rear-wheel driveconfiguration allows it to compete in the luxury sportsedan market.

Starting with Infiniti’s “double-arch” front grille,it combines with the LED headlights and daytimerunning lights to create a strong statement.

The character lines flow over the smooth roofline likea wave and is punctuated by the Crescent-cut C-pillar.Merging at the rear, the LED taillights complete thelook. Overall, the Infiniti Q50 is eye-catching.

Inside, the wraparound dash creates a sporty feelwithout sacrificing comfort or practicality. Tech savvypeople will enjoy Infiniti’s forward-thinking solutionand design.

My dadlost his father in early child-hood. His mother was leftwith six children to raiseon her own. But my grand-mother’s life was difficultfrom the start. At age nine,she was sold to a wealthyChinese family that movedtoVancouver. She workedthroughout her childhoodand was not taught English.She was married and hadher first child at age 14. Mydad remembers her as beingvery good with her hands, askilled chef and seamstress.She managed to make endsmeet and raise her childrento be independent.

My dad worked through-out his childhood to sup-port his family, finishedschool, studied auto me-chanics and worked atVan-couver Motors downtown.He saved enough to studyscience at UBC and dentist-ry at McGill.When he talksabout his childhood, he nev-er complains about the prej-udice he endured or thehardship his family suffered.He talks about wonderfullife experiences, his lifelongfriends and the kindness ofso many people along theway.

My mom was born inthe Strathcona neighbour-hood ofVancouver.Whenmy mom was nine years old,she and her seven siblingswere orphaned. Her oldestsisters were teenagers, andher youngest brother was

still in diapers.There wasno extended family to helpthem.To keep the family to-gether, the oldest sisters de-cided they would all workto raise the rest of the fam-ily until the youngest fin-ished school. My mom al-ways taught me the value ofa good family in which eachis responsible for one anoth-er. Seventy-six years later,my aunts, uncles and cous-ins continue to celebrate thelove of family at our annualBoxing Day party.

My parents’ stories couldhave been told with sadnessor bitterness but instead,they are stories of cour-age, resilience, gratitude andlove.The way they told theirstories shaped how theylived their lives, related toothers and raised our family.

My mom’s love for mewas unconditional. Shesaw the best and expect-ed the best of me. At first,I thought I had to be a topstudent and athlete like mybrother to earn my parents’love, but I eventually real-ized their love came with noconditions. I would alwaysbe loved and accepted justas I was.

My mom’s circle of con-cern continued to expandthroughout her life. Shehad many friends and wasinvolved in helping oth-ers in her United Churchand community. She wouldgo out of her way to makea positive difference in thelives of other people withnot so random everydayacts of kindness.

When she died unexpect-edly from a cardiac arrest12 years ago, I was over-whelmed with grief, butover time I realized that mymother’s greatest gift wasstill with me. It was her love,compassion and kindness. I

could never give back all thelove that my mom had givenme, but I was already givingit out and giving it forward.I realized that what I feeltowards my own childrenis the same love my moth-er gave to me, and if I teachthem well, that same lovewill be given to others be-yond my own lifetime. Mymother’s greatest legacy wasof love.This legacy of lovebelongs to every one of us.

Sixty per cent of the bodyis made up of water. It’s ineach of our cells and in ourcirculation, but we don’town that water.We consumeit in our food and drink, welose it through perspirationand elimination.

In school, we studied thewater cycle.Water evapo-rates, condenses into clouds,precipitates as snow or rain,freezes, thaws, flows into riv-ers, lakes and oceans, con-tinuously cycling around theglobe. It belongs to no one.It belongs to everyone.

I see our selves as ves-sels of love and we are partof the love cycle.We re-ceive love from many peo-ple throughout our lives –friends, family, teachers andcoaches – and it comes inmany forms including therandom kindness of strang-ers. It doesn’t always comeunconditionally – it comesin many imperfect and hu-man forms because we areimperfect and human, butstill we receive love from in-finite sources.

Love is not a finite re-source.The giving of lovedoes not diminish us butconnects us and makes usstronger.Dr.DavidicusWong is a

Overseedpatchy lawns,andothergreenadvice

Question:The grass in my front lawn

has brown patches and doesnot look healthy. It has twoor three types of grass/weedsgrowing.Does it need fertiliz-er? Should I aerate the lawnfirst? Can I do this myself?

– Florence Salama,Vancouver

Answer:Work on your lawn is

best done when late Sep-tember/early October rainsbegin. At this time, lawnseed germinates withoutbeing watered every day.

Yes, your lawn wouldbenefit from aeration. Butit’s much too hard for youto do it yourself. It’s a longjob that requires lots ofmuscle. After aeration, youcould spread some com-post or topsoil over thelawn and then scatter grassseed around.The best wayof deterring lawn weeds isa strong growth of grass.

Overseeding with newgrass seed will help yourlawn recover.

If you spread compostor topsoil on your lawn thisfall, you don’t need fertil-izer. In spring, if your grassisn’t growing strongly, youcould apply a fertilizer. Butif you topdress your lawnwith compost each spring,you may not need fertilizer.

Many grass seed mixesinclude white clover, andit’s most likely that someof the weeds on your lawnwere white clover.Thishelps grass grow morestrongly since clover’s ni-trogen-forming roots helpfeed the grass.

Clover flowers also at-tract bees, which improvespollination in your gardenand neighbourhood.Theonly situation where clovershould be avoided is wherepeople in the home are al-lergic to bee stings.

Question:My friend gave me a tropi-

cal rubber-tree house plant. Itcontains a white,milky latex

that drips everywhere if youinjure the plant. It is grow-ing very fast. I was going tomove it outside to prune it,but it is way too heavy.WhenI cut off one branch, the milkysubstance dripped all over mycarpet and hardwood floor.Can this plant be prunedwithout making a mess?What should I use to cleanthis milky stain off my carpetand hardwood floor?

– Gillian Hunt,email

Answer:Latex sap dries if left at

indoor temperatures.Thenyou should be able to peelit off your hardwood floor.Wear gloves.The carpet isa harder problem. It wouldbe best to get a carpetcleaning firm in and see ifthey can handle it.

When you prune thisplant in future, your onlyoption for inside cuts is toswathe the whole pot andsurrounding floor withplastic.

DIABETES CARE


Your outdoor spacecan make all thedi!erence

Jo Boxwell chatswith real estateagent BarbaraRobin about out-door spaces.

E"ortless is BestPeople lead busy

lives, and Barbarasays this is reUectedin howmost househunters perceiveoutdoor features. A

stunning outdoor spacethat requires a lot of e"ort

tomaintain can be a toughsell. “We all admire large,

beau!ful gardens, but howmanypeople want to dedicate the !me

andmoney tomaintaining them?” Thesame applies to outdoor features that incur

highmaintenance costs. “A lot of people seea swimming pool as a liability more than an asset,”

Barbara explains.

On the other hand, ready to go, prac!cal features suchas a sturdy deck or an outdoor pa!o rank highly for mostbuyers. Landscaping features that reduce the amount of lawnmowing required are also popular, such as adding rocks orornamental grasses to areas of the yard.

“Most buyers today want the house to bemove-in ready,”Barbara says.

Hot tubs remain popular, providing they are in great work-ing condi!on and have been properly cared for. An aging hottub that doesn’t work, or one that is on an unsafe deck, is justa liability.

Other more prac!cal features such as fences and retain-ing walls should be well made andmaintained if sellers arehoping to beneQt from them. It is also worthmaking sureeverything is looking good before you sell, whichmight meanrepain!ng or staining decks and fences.

People lovemature trees.“Tree-lined streets are always popular. Even when trees

have been added to a newer subdivision, it’s amazing the dif-ference Qve years canmake to the feel of the street,” Barbarasays. Mature trees are a great outdoor feature as long asthere aren’t any bigger issues that need to be dealt with, suchas tree roots interfering with sewer lines. Get rid of dead ordiseased trees before you put your home on themarket.

Working with Small SpacesIt’s easy to overlook the value of outdoor spaces for

proper!es that have very small yards, but even small out-

door spaces can inUuence buyers. “Create a place wherepeople can sit outdoors – a li#le pa!o or pergola, a spot fora barbecue or even a small water feature,” Barbara suggests.“Most people feel more relaxed if they have a connec!on tonature.”

There are s!ll plenty of ways to dress up small outdoorspaces, too. “Adding chairs and a couple of tubs of Uowers tothe pa!omakes the spacemuchmore a#rac!ve as long asthe space doesn’t become too clu#ered,” Barbara explains.

The same applies to entrances; regardless of the size ofthe outdoor space, sprucing up entrances with Uowerpots,new doormats and even seasonal décor such as wreaths canhelp poten!al buyers feel welcome. Just don’t overdo it; aclu#ered entrance will tend to have the opposite e"ect.

MoneyMa!ersBarbara points out a couple of traps homeowners fall

into when it comes to spendingmoney on outdoor features.“Be careful of spending toomuch on outdoor features tothe detriment of spending on necessary updates inside thehouse.” Barbara says on occasion she has been invited intohomes with incredible gardens but the interior of the homeis in desperate need of a#en!on. The result in most cases isthat sellers don’t beneQt as much or at all from the hard workthey put into the yard when they sell.

Barbara also warns against overspending for the neigh-bourhood. If you’re thinking about return on investmentwhen it comes to adding features to your outdoor space,bear in mind that at some point you will hit a ceiling in termsof what your homewill likely sell for in that par!cular area.

Is your areamore conserva!ve or quirky when it comes tothe style of homes? If you care about resale value, it is worthtrying to Qnd a balance between your personal taste andwhat will Qt with the aesthe!c of the area, par!cularly whenit comes to curb appeal features.

Selling the Outdoors in theWinterThere are s!ll things sellers can do in the winter months to

make their outdoor spaces more appealing to buyers. Makesure pathways are cleared of snow and ice, and consideremploying ligh!ng features that could improve the curb ap-peal of the home on dark winter days. Barbaramen!ons that,“mini solar lights can be put on a !mer and draped arounda shrub or a small tree.” If you have an outdoor space thatlooks par!cularly impressive in the summermonths, pull outsome photos of the yard looking its best to give to your lis!ngagent.

Barbara says one of themost important things sellers cando at any !me of year is make sure the outside of the homelooks well maintained. “Clean up. Tidy the yard, get rid ofbroken pa!o furniture and the rusty barbecue. Rake up theleaves.” Budget for a few repairs that will help the exterior ofyour homemake a solid Qrst impression.

1. Look at your outdoor space asone that should be inviting andeasy to maintain.

2. Hot tubs can be a selling point,but only if they are in excellentcondition and not part of an agingdeck.

3.Details make a difference. If yourfence needs work, or a retainingwall is missing somemortar or abrick or two – fix it. How you havemaintained the property may betaken as how you have maintainedthe home.

4. Trees. People love them if theyare in good shape and offer a bit ofshade in the yard.

5. Make sure your lawn furniture isattractive, you have new doormatsout, and plants or flowers incontainers are beautiful. The littlethings count.

In a nutshell

A stylish, comfortable outdoor deck in excellentcondition can be a deal-maker for many homebuyers.

Luca Bellini is the lead-ing man in the St.Thom-as More Knights groundgame, but on Friday, theKnights showed just howmuch death they actuallyhave in their backfield.

“It was great to see threedifferent ball carriers ableto gain yards tonight,” saidSTM head coach BernieKully, who watched as theKnights totalled 278 yardsrushing as they openedEastern Conference AAAplay with a victory after tak-ing a two-score lead in thefirst quarter.

But make no mistake,Bellini was the headlin-er. And besides his 12 car-ries for 155 yards and onetouchdown, he added seventackles on defence.

Lucas Dalla-Vecchia had14 carries for 70 yards,whileTyler Eckert had eightcarries for 25 yards and ascore. Eckert also had sixtackles and three sacks forminus-25 yards.

“Tonight was a team-ori-ented win,” said Kully. “Wehad great number of peo-ple contribute to the win to-night.”

Matt Smigel had a 57-yard punt return for a scorewhile Devon Hayek hauledin a 20-yardTD pass fromLiam Feenan.

Mouat quarterback NoahDietrich was picked twicebut did finish with 221yards passing and a touch-down pass to Elijah Falcon-er, the latter catching twopasses for 119 yards. DionPellerin caught four passesfor 41 yards while Cam’ronLobban had two for 30yards. Nelson Lokombo ledthe ground game with sevenrushes for 65 yards.

Defensively, ReubenReardon recorded ninetackles and a sack, whilePellerin made eight tacklesand Arsh Brar five.

“What we did do todayis prove that despite be-ing young, we will competewith the top tier teams inthe province every week,”said Bell. “I’m still waitingfor our team to put togethera full 48 minutes. Once wecan do that, we’ll find our-selves having a lot of suc-cess.”For photos of the game,visit

New jerseys and equip-ment weren’t the only thingthat stood out on the foot-ball field last Friday.

Moscrop’s AA varsi-ty football team crackledwith new energy in theirgame against visiting Na-naimo after receiving somefresh jerseys and brand newequipment thanks to theNissan Kickoff Project, anational initiative support-ed by the CFL and NissanCanada.

Moscrop was chosenas one of more than 26schools across the countryto receive support throughthe program. Nominatedby B.C. High School Foot-ball’s board of directors,Moscrop coaches Ian Bu-chanan and Craig Bymoenwere contacted by Nissan

and the board earlier thisyear about the program,but neither coach wantedto get their hopes up toosoon, in case it fell through.

“I kept thinking to my-self, ‘I want to wait and seewhat happens,’” Bymoensaid.

Then, as time went on,and reps from the KickoffProject started reaching outto Bymoen and Buchananand asking what they want-ed for the team, they soonrealized this was actuallyhappening.

“We understand howmuch this all costs so thisdefinitely gave us a lifelineand allows us to keep mov-ing forward,” Bymoen said.

Representatives fromNissan and the B.C. Lionswere at Moscrop Second-ary School on Friday, Sept.25 to hand out the newgear, and while the coach-

es and players already knewwhat was going to happen-ing it was still received withexcitement.

“It brings a new ener-gy.The kids, you can see achange in them,” Bymoensaid.

“We’re hoping this kindof brings a new energy toMoscrop football, that it’ssomething that will attractmore kids and make themsee we’re doing everythingwe can to keep the programmoving forward and bringmore kids out,” he added

And keeping the pro-gram moving forward iskey to both Bymoen andBuchanan.The relativelysmall AA varsity is a blend-ed group of students fromgrades 9 through to 12 withno distinct junior and se-nior team.The new gearmeans the older stuff canbe passed down to younger

players in an attempt to geta junior program started atthe school.

But on Friday, the team’sfocus was their gameagainst Nanaimo.

After a devastating 24-0loss to Surrey’s Earl Marri-ot Secondary the week be-fore, Moscrop was lookingto prove themselves, By-moen said.

“We put a bit of a chal-lenge to them, and weasked them to come outbetter than what theyplayed the previous, be-cause we felt they were a bit

flat and as such it was veryevident in their play,” By-moen told the NOW.

But it took a little whilefor the team to warm up,trailing 8-0 by the end ofthe first quarter.

“We’ve got a really goodgroup of kids that have re-ally come together as a co-hesive unit.They’re start-ing to play together as thattrue team, so to speak, andI’ve had teams in the pastthat have had a lot of talent,but they just never cometogether as that team and itshows in the product on thefield,” Bymoen said.

His current team, how-ever, made up of a strongcore group of Grade 12students who’ve been withthe program since Grade 9,have been able to tap intothat team spirit and on Fri-day it finally started to

Panthers were a little slowon the take, letting thevisiting team take com-mand of the game. But inthe third and fourth quar-ter the boys really shined,scoring 20 points to sur-pass Nanaimo and hold onto the lead right to the lastwhistle.

One thing Bymoenwants the boys to work onin preparation for the reg-

ular season start on Oct.16 is playing consistentlythroughout the game.

“We need to play to ourabilities right at the firstkick-off, right from the firstquarter,” he said.

With a win now un-der their belts, the teamgets a week off to preparefor their match next weekagainstValleyview Sec-ondary, an Okanagan AAteam from Kamloops – ateam coached by Bymoen’sbrother Corey.

“Little sibling rival-ry there. Bragging rightsfor the year anyways,” helaughed. “It should be agood match-up.They’re abig team, and I have a lotrespect for my brother, thecoach, so they’re going tobe well-coached as well,so it’s going to be a goodgame.”

Moscrop hostsVal-leyview at Burnaby Lakeon Friday, Oct. 9. Kick-offis at 2 p.m.

It took two Burnabymen less than six hours tocomplete a 50-kilometreoff-road race, good enoughto snag a spot on the po-dium.

Firefighters’ talksstallonarbitrator

[email protected] could be 2016 before Burnaby fire-

fighters get a new contract, and that’s only

if the city and union can agree on an arbi-

trator.It’s been nearly four months since the

City of Burnaby and the International Asso-

ciation of Firefighters Local 323, which rep-

resents 281 firefighters in Burnaby, met for

mediation, and since then there has been

minimal movement towards a new contract.

In fact, both parties are still trying to

agree on an arbitrator.

“It’s kind of hard to decide when they

keep throwing back the same name to us.

We’ve offered four and they offered three,

and then we said no to the three and then

they offered one of the three back again to

us,” said Rob Lamoureux, president of Lo-

cal 323.Lamoureux said the union’s top choice is

well-known arbitratorVince Ready, who re-

cently negotiated a deal for firefighters in

Prince George, but because he’s so in-de-

mand, it’s unlikely he would be available be-

fore the new year.Lambert Chu, deputy city manager and

liaison for the Burnaby Fire Department, is

hoping, however, to get the process moving

as soon as possible.“We’re trying to find an arbitrator that

has a fairly open schedule to allow us to get

a quick appointment so that the case can be

heard,” Chu said.At this point, however, Lamoureux said

he and the firefighters are willing to wait for

the right arbitrator, especially since they’ve

been waiting more than three years for a

new contract.“We’ve waited so long we want to make

sure we get the right arbitrator,” Lamou-

reux said. “I don’t want to take our chances

and roll the dice with anybody. Another six

months, it’s no big deal now, we’re already

three years in.”The NOW asked Chu if anyone on coun-

cil or the mayor was trying to drag this pro-

cess out, considering how long it’s taken so

far, but he was adamant that council and

the mayor aren’t involved in the negotia-

tions.“This is done right at the staff level.This

contract negotiation is carried out through

the city manager’s office and a representa-

tive from the fire union, and we basically

keep our council informed of the progress,

but the council isn’t involved in any negoti-

ation,” Chu said.Lamoureux doesn’t buy that.

“I would disagree. I can’t believe that,”

he said. “I can’t believe that this is being …

controlled by the city manager’s office.

“You look at common sense and you look

at what’s gone on in the whole region.We’re

at 22 locals – two arbitrated and 20
