TheVancouver school district has lost atug-of-war with its Burnaby counterpartover secretary-treasurer Greg Frank.

Frank announcedTuesday that – despitehaving accepted a position inVancouver ef-fective Dec. 1 – he’s staying in Burnaby.

“We did everything we possibly could to

get him to stay,” local school board chairRon Burton told the NOW.

In September, Burton suggested one ofthe reasons Frank had tendered his resig-nation and accepted the chief financial of-ficer post inVancouver was that the Burna-by district couldn’t give him a raise becauseof a provincial salary freeze for exempt stafflike assistant superintendents and secretary-treasurers.

For the last five years, Frank has earnedan average of $30,000 less in salary andbenefits than hisVancouver counterparts.

The freeze remains inplace, according to Burton,so the Burnaby board wasunable to lure him backthat way.

Burton said he pointedinstead to conflict on theVancouver board, whichhas been deeply dividedsince the last municipal election, when alopsidedVisionVancouver majority was re-

placed by fourVision trustees, four from theNon-Partisan Association and one Greenmember.

(Burnaby’s current trust-ees all belong to the Burna-by Citizens Association.)

“What I told him was,‘Look at our board. Lookat how congenial we are,how we’re all on the samepage, and inVancouverthey’re at war, and you’ll be

a part of that for the next five years,’”

Like a casualty of war,hours before a ceasefire isdeclared, 12-year-oldWadeSandberg was hauled intothe principal’s office atBurnaby’s Lakeview Ele-mentary on Feb. 6, 1973.

He had called his schoollibrarian an “old bag.”

His punishment issummed up in an old logbook: “three on each.”

Sandberg was the last stu-dent ever strapped at Lakev-iew.

Eight days later, the B.C.government passed legis-lation banning the punish-ment.

“I was a little sh**, I ful-ly admit it and probably de-served it,” Sandberg told theNOW. “I don’t have any illwill towards it. I mean, thatwas the way it was back thenwhen we were growing up,but I’m glad to see that may-be there are some things thathave changed.”

For 40 years, the strapused to mete out Sand-

berg’s punishment and alog book detailing Lakeviewstrappings from Oct. 3, 1958to Feb. 6, 1973 have sur-vived tucked away in a deskin the principal’s office.

Every new administra-tor who moves in eventuallymakes the discovery.

“Oh my god, this is thestrap!”

That was former Lakev-iew principal Kelly Chow’sreaction when he first

opened his desk at theschool in January 2007.

Thumbing through thelog book – which opens withthe strapping of a studentfor sliding down a handrail –Chow said he was horrified.

“I just thought, wow, thisseems so archaic, so abu-sive,” he said, “but I alsothought how progressive weare as an education system.We no longer do that.We’vecome a long way in termsof how we deal with kids, interms of how we respond.”

Back in the 1940s and’50s, though, the strap andother forms of corporal pun-ishment were alive and wellat local schools, according toretired teacher JanetWhite,one of five people currentlyworking on a history of theBurnaby district.

White, who taught inBurnaby from 1973 to 2002,was also a student here andgot the strap six times foroffences like talking, run-ning across the school lawn,throwing a chestnut at a boyand writing on her desk.

“It would swell up andbruise and it would hurtlike heck,” she said, describ-ing her hand after gettingwhacked.

The standard punishmentsaw students taken to the of-fice where they would holdout their hands, one at atime, palms up.

A teacher or princi-pal would then stand fac-ing them and bring the strapdown across the length oftheir hands, according toWhite.

“It was supposed to be onyour hand,” she said, “butsometimes it would overlapand hit your wrist.”

Some former students re-port having felt humiliat-ed, butWhite said it was thepain that made her cry.

“Even for girls, you triednot to cry,” she said.

WhenWhite returned toBurnaby to teach in

April 1973, the province hadalready passed legislationbanning the strap, but thenew rules hadn’t yet comeinto effect.

As a teacher, her one andonly experience with thepunishment was when shereported a misbehaving stu-dent to the office and thenhad to act as witness whilehe was strapped by her prin-cipal.

“The kid must have donesomething,” she said. “Idon’t even remember whatit was, but I remember feel-ing terrible about having towatch. I never reported a kidever again because I didn’t

want to ever go through thatagain.”

Another local educatorwho reportedly swore off thestrap after an up-close-and-personal encounter was thelate Eileen Dailly.

A former Burnaby teacherand trustee, Dailly had ris-en to the post of educationminister by the timeWadeSandberg was strapped forthe last time at Lakeview.

During her three-year ten-ure as minister, B.C. becamethe first province in Cana-da (and one of only a hand-ful of jurisdictions in NorthAmerica) to ban corporalpunishment.

Some stories suggest thethen-controversial move –which earned Dailly hun-dreds of death threats – wasmotivated by an experienceshe had in her first year ofteaching, when she was toldto strap a student who hadrun her purse up the flag-pole.

But former Burnaby citycouncillor Celeste Redman,who worked politically with

Dailly, said it was her expe-rience as a Burnaby schooltrustee that inspired the ban.

“There were some vari-ous incidences where teach-ers overreacted,” Redmantold theNOW in 2011,“and she saw it was hard todraw the line between what’stoo much and what’s notenough.”

All that is ancient histo-ry to current Lakeview

principal Frankie Devita,the current guardian of hisschool’s two ghosts of edu-cation past.

He was two years oldwhen the strap was banned,and he said the strap and logbook at his school weren’t allthat interesting to him whenhe discovered them in hisdesk.

Today, he said, schools fo-cus on teaching kids socialand emotional skills insteadof just punishing bad behav-iour, and a visit to the prin-cipal’s office is more likelyto be a happy event than ascary one.

“Ninety per cent of thekids that come into the of-fice, it’s about positive re-inforcement; they’re show-ing me work and the greatthings that they’re doing,”Devita said. “That estab-lishes a relationship.There’sno fear coming into the of-fice.The strap is fear-based,and I don’t believe that fear-based works.”

Did it work for 12-year-oldWade Sandberg?

“I’m sure it did. I don’tknow. It was so long ago,”Sandberg said.

The former Lakeview stu-dent, who now has grownkids of his own, said thestrap was what it was, andhe wasn’t traumatized byit – but that doesn’t meanhe wasn’t happy to see itbanned.

“Having raised childrenand put them through theschool system and deal-ing with the things that theydo, you understand thatthere’s no place for a teach-er or principal beating yourchild,” he said.

‘Ohmygod,this is thestrap!’

In the world of globaltrade, big names like Chi-na and the U.S. are usuallythe first to come to mind aspartners with Canada.

But a European coun-try best known on this sideof the pond for its chocolateis hoping to change mindsand get in on the trade ac-tion with Canada.

This week, a trade dele-gation from Belgium was inthe Lower Mainland look-ing to drum up some busi-ness, and onTuesday, thegroup from the country nes-tled between France andGermany was in Burnaby tocheck out some local com-panies.

One of the stops was Al-phaTechnologies, a Burna-by-based technology com-pany specializing in powersolutions that has close tiesto Belgium.

The company hosted acontingent from the Bel-gium trade mission to take atour of company’s large fa-cility on Riverfront Gate.

The tour also included abrief visit from royalty, Prin-cess Astrid of Belgium.

David Boroevich, thecompany’s chief marketingofficer, explained Alpha hasbeen working closely withthe Belgian community foryears, noting the company’spartnership with Belgium-based CE+T Power.

He said the visit was anopportunity to welcome theprincess and the delegationin hopes at some point ofopening the door even wid-er for business.

“Sometimes relationshipsyou build through discus-sions like this lead to some-thing years down the road,”

Boroevich said, calling it a“huge honour” to host theprincess.

He also said the compa-ny sees Belgium’s central lo-cation as a gateway into Eu-rope, the Middle East andbeyond.

While Princess Astrid didnot grant interviews to me-dia during a 25-minute stopat Alpha, the minister ofeconomy and foreign tradefor theWallonia region ofBelgium Jean-Claude Mar-court did speak to theNOWabout the trade mission.

He pointed out the longrelationship between thetwo countries, but not-ed trade is much greater inQuebec and Ontario than inB.C. and Alberta.

“This mission’s (goal) isto develop and improve the

relationship between ourcompanies and (Canada’scompanies) for trade andinvestment,” Marcourt said.

Specifically, he said hiscountry is interested in newtechnologies and raw mate-rials and sees B.C. as a win-

dow to markets in Asia.Marcourt also suggest-

ed it was important for theprincess to take part in the300-person strong delega-tion to support the Belgian

companies taking part.Also at Alpha was a con-

tingent of local Burnabypoliticians, including Coun.Pietro Calendino, who hada brief chat with PrincessAstrid about their Italianbackgrounds.

He called the princess’sappearance “exciting” whileadding the visit by the Bel-gian delegation shows theimportance and the calibreof businesses in Burnaby.

“We’re very proud of thebusiness climate we’ve cre-ated in Burnaby,” Calendi-no said, adding companieslike Alpha are examples ofglobal companies that oper-ate in the city.

The Belgian delegationwas expected to move on toCalgary later this week.

Thedarksideofcity’sbuildingboomIt may not be the centre

of the universe, but it’s cer-tainly staking its claim asthe place to be in the LowerMainland.

In case the ubiquitouspresence of cranes and con-struction scaffolding wasn’tsufficient proof that Burna-by is booming, city hall hasmade it official with its lat-est building permits report.

The city is on pace tobreak its own record for an-nual total construction val-ue for projects in 2015. Bythe end of this year, building

permit values are expectedto be in the $800 to $900million range – eclipsing theformer value of $792 mil-lion set in the pre-recessionboom of 2008.

It’s not hard to see why.As Mayor Derek Corri-

gan pointed out,Vancouveris pretty much built up, andfor developers wanting toput up rapid transit-orient-ed highrises, Burnaby is the“best game in town.”

The city must be con-gratulated for taking a com-mon-sense approach to

development, approvingpermit fee increases to al-low the hiring of extra staffto process development ap-plications. Keeping the pro-cess flowing efficiently willhelp to ensure that the cityremains attractive to the de-velopers who are injectingso much life – and money –into our city.

But we’d be remiss not toraise a huge warning flag.

While we’re busy cele-brating the hundreds of mil-lions of dollars in buildingpermits (and the resulting

property tax windfall), wecan not afford to overlookthose who are being silentlyelbowed aside.

We have repeatedly fea-tured stories of residentsconcerned that all this high-rise development is push-ing out affordable rentalapartment buildings – rentalapartments that are provid-ing safe, livable housing forfolks who simply can’t af-ford any of the magnificentnew condos being put up intheir place.

Many of these folks repre-

sent those who are in someway already marginalized bysociety. Seniors. Refugees.Immigrants. Single parents.The working poor.

These are people who alladd value to our city: whorepresent a diverse range ofcultures, of values, of opin-ions and voices that we needto hear.

We can’t afford to be-come strictly a bedroomcommunity ofVancouver,full of double-income pro-fessional couples who seeBurnaby merely as a handy

stop on the SkyTrain lineand not as a communitythey belong to, and contrib-ute to, in the many ways ex-isting residents already do.

We’re glad the city isprospering. But we urge thecity to always remember:We can’t afford to prosperat the expense of those whoneed us most.

That’s not the kind offoundation Burnaby wasbuilt on. And it’s not whatwe want our future to bebuilt on, either.

Say ‘No’ toslatepolitics

Video killed the radio star.But it’s Peter Fassbenderwho is about to kill the in-dependent civic politician.

Last week, the B.C. Min-ister of Community, Sportand Cultural Developmentrolled out legislation thatwould limit the amount ofmoney municipal candi-dates could spend on theircampaigns. But this new lawwill have an unfortunate,unintended consequence –it will prompt civic politi-cians across B.C. to run to-gether on slates in order topool spending limits and al-low them to share expenses.

Why send out one adver-tising piece, when you canbe on six by running a slate?

Fassbender says he “be-lieves strongly in democracyand people’s right to be en-gaged. If there is too tight abox (around campaign do-nations), people will say itaffects free speech and de-mocracy,” he told The Globeand Mail.

He’s half-right.There shouldn’t be lim-

its on spending, donationsor who can give money tocampaigns, as long as vot-ers know the facts beforethey vote.

Forget limits. Fassbend-er should bring in pre-elec-tion financial disclosure andallow voters to make theirown decision about howmoney influences politi-cians. Pass a law that forc-es candidates to publish do-nors and amounts one weekbefore voting, and stopsfundraising in that finalweek of a campaign. Andmake sitting politicians dis-close donors annually.

Imagine this scenar-io. A white supremacist (orworse, a developer or oilcompany executive) gives amayoralty campaign $200.It’s all perfectly legal.

Of course, you the vot-er won’t know about it untilmonths after the election isover.You’ll wander into thevoting booth, tick the ballotbox, and go on your mer-ry way.You may even smilewhen your guy wins.

Months later, the frontpage of the local paper willsplash the questionable do-nation and you’ll wonderwhy this candidate was at-tractive to this type of do-nor. By then, it’s too late –your racist-backed mayorstill has 45 months in office.

Wouldn’t it have beenmore useful to know whosupports candidates beforeyou voted? Does it mat-ter if the racist gave lessthan the donation limit? Ofcourse not!Whether $200or $20,000, voters deserveto know who is supportingcandidates before they casta ballot.

Relatively few cities haveslates today (though Burn-aby is one that does), andmost B.C. voters seem toprefer independent politi-cians. If Fassbender’s law ispassed, more slates are likelyto pop up across B.C., sim-ply to pool resources underthe low limits.The publichas until Nov. 27 to com-ment on the plan. Here’shoping voters ask for pre-election disclosure at cityhalls, not more slate politics.Jordan Bateman is B.C.di-

rector of the CanadianTax-payers Federation.

Dear EditorRe: Teachinghas changedandrightfully so, Letters to the editor,Opinion,Oct. 21. The teacherwriter says: “What otherdifferenceswere there in 1956? Fewer autisticchildren, childrenwith ADHD, childrenwhodon’t speakEnglish, children fromsingle -par-ent families, over-scheduled, anxiety-riddenchildren, childrendamagedby cyberbullying,children addicted to their smart phones andgameconsoles, sleep-deprived children stay-ing up late at nightwatching YouTube/ socialmedia, and children luredby gang-andpartydrugs, childrenwerenot raisedonadiet ofgenetically-modified food stuffedwith addi-tives andhormones.”And, of course, lack of corporal punish-

ments, parents (andkids perhaps) callingpolice, takingmatters to the lawyer, and soonand so forth, blaming is endless.But aren’t these all the teachers’ ownmak-

ing?

Burton said. “I think heknew that, as well.”

When asked to commenton Burton’s assertion, Franksaid, “No, I’ve got a wholelot of respect for theVan-couver school district andBurnaby school district, andthey’ve been understandingand supportive as I’ve gonethrough this thought pro-cess.”

Frank said his change ofheart was a personal deci-sion.

“All I can say is that it’sbeen a process that I’vegone through,” he said, “andBurnaby is a great place andthis is where I want to stayat the end of the day. It’sabout the opportunity here.It’s about the people I’mworking with. It’s the qual-ity of life. It’s all of those

things.”Whatever led Frank to re-

verse his decision, it’s goodnews for Burnaby schools,according to Burton.

“It’s very good for the dis-trict,” Burton said. “Greg’sbeen an instrumental part ofit for years and will continueto be until he retires, hope-fully.”

The last time Burna-by experienced the type ofgrowth in construction proj-ects currently underway,you’d have to go back to be-fore the worldwide recessionat the end of the last decade.

City hall is on pace tobreak its record for the an-nual total construction val-ue of projects for 2015.

According to city staff,building permit values bythe end of year are expectedto be in the $800 to $900million dollar range.

The record for buildingpermit values is $792 mil-lion, set in 2008, prior tothe big recession.

The numbers were pre-sented at a recent councilmeeting.

And from the mayor’sperspective, with a num-ber of development projectsstill in the works, he doesn’texpect the growth to slowdown anytime soon.

“We’re booming,” May-or Derek Corrigan told theNOW.“The desire to live inthe centre of the region in aplace like Burnaby is very,very high.”

He arguedVancouver isbuilt up and that for peo-ple looking for rapid transit-

oriented highrise develop-ments, Burnaby is the “bestgame in town.”

But with that growthcomes the challenges ofmeeting the demands toprocess the permit applica-tions.

Corrigan acknowledgedthe issue, adding that time ismoney for developers. How-ever, he said the city is try-ing to balance the hiring ofadditional staff to meet thedemand and keep the plan-ning department self-fund-ed.

Council recently ap-proved permit fee increasesin some areas to hire addi-tional staff to process appli-cations.

“We try to push thework through on our endas quickly as we can,” Cor-rigan said, adding he alsowants to ensure all the smalland single-family developersare getting service too.

Coun. Sav Dhaliwal sug-

gested, given the steady in-crease in building permits,it was time to look at overallstaff levels to address turn-around times.

“I think we need to re-spond to that as we take onmore business,” he said.

In 2014, the city handedout $698 million in build-ing permits, while in 2013,2012 and 2011 issuing$674 million, $514 million$615 million in permits re-spectively.

On the flip side, it ap-pears getting your hands onindustrial space is gettingharder in Burnaby.

According to a report byAvisonYoung, a commercialreal estate services firm, theindustrial vacancy rate inBurnaby has dropped to 2.8per cent in the third quarterof 2015 from four per cent12 months earlier.

The company noted anacute shortage of industri-al buildings for sale and avery limited and expensivesupply of industrial land onwhich to develop new prod-uct have limited sales activ-ity and helped push vacancydown in the city.

The rates are the lowestsince the run-up to the U.S.recession between 2005 and2007.

Kinder Morgan is in dis-cussions with the City ofBurnaby to plant hundredsof trees to replace the dozenor so cut down during pipe-line survey work on Burna-by Mountain last fall.

The original plan wasKinder Morgan would re-

mediate the area last spring,but the city didn’t like theproposal put forward, ac-cording to Dipak Dattani,the city’s deputy director ofengineering.

“It was not what we ac-cepted for our parks.Theplant species, the plant den-sity was not acceptable,”Dattani said, without elabo-rating.

According to Dattani, acontractor hired by KinderMorgan will handle the siterestoration sometime in No-vember, but no exact dateshave been set.

The number of treescut down is unclear as thecity claims it was 13, whileKinder Morgan’s countshowed seven.

“Right now they are pro-posing to plant 300 trees,which are in three-gallonpots,” Dattani said. “That’swhat we would accept.”

Dattani didn’t have anydetails on what kind of treesthey will be, and he declinedto share his thoughts on thematter.

“It’s their submissionthat we’ve accepted, noth-

ing more than that,” he said.“We had asked for the re-mediation work to be done,and they are doing that.”

Last fall, Kinder Mor-gan’s survey work causedenormous controversy, asthe city, which opposes thepipeline expansion, forbidscutting down trees in a lo-cal park.

Kinder Morgan thenwent to the National En-

ergy Board, which over-ruled the city’s bylaw to letthe company complete thework, which involved drill-ing holes into the mountain.Whether the NEB has thepower to override city by-laws is something Burnabyis now contesting throughthe courts.

Kinder Morgan spokes-person Ali Hounsell ex-plained that the company is

committed to remediatingthe damage from the sur-vey work and the associatedprotests.

“We committed in the be-ginning to do reclamationon all of the damage thatwas done to the park at thetime,” she said. “We’ve beengoing back and forth on theplan making sure everyone’shappy with that.”

Burnaby Mounties havebeen credited with help-ing take down a group of al-leged crooks that were in-volved in a crime spreeacross the region.

The incident began inRichmond onTuesdaywhen five suspects wereseen in a stolen BMW se-dan.The vehicle was report-ed stolen from a residencein Squamish.The suspectsthen allegedly made theirway to Burnaby where they

transferred into a waitingNissan SUV.

Police note this secondvehicle was also reportedlystolen from the same homein Squamish.

The suspects then headedtoward the FraserValley andtransferred into a third ve-hicle, a dark-coloured JeepSUV, near Hope. Policediscovered the vehicle hadbeen allegedly rented fraud-ulently.

With the help of the RC-MP’s Air One and a num-ber of police units, includingBurnaby RCMP’s commu-

nity response team, the sus-pects were eventually arrest-ed near Manning Park bypolice.

At one point, the suspectsallegedly rammed a policecruiser, injuring two Rich-mond officers.

“When crime activity isobserved, it simply has nobounds. Richmond RCMPofficers had great instinctswhen they spotted the orig-inal stolen BMW.We hada fluid, near seamless de-ployment of multiple po-lice resources across multi-ple jurisdictions.We had air

support and ground sup-port working in unison, withcommunications across thatscale,” said RCMP Cpl. Si-mon Lee in a statement.

In all, five people were ar-rested for their alleged in-volvement in numerousbreak-and-enters, posses-sion of stolen property, andmail theft. The three menand two women range inages between 20 and 31from the Lower Mainlandand all are well-known topolice.

Charges are pendingagainst the group.

Burnaby Hospital Foundation grant helps support food security

Participants in a Burnaby Food First workshop held in August learn about the benefits of homecanning: assuring food quality and using seasonal produce to saving on grocery costs.

Healthy eating and access to goodfood is integral to the health ofthe individual and, ultimately, thecommunity as a whole.

With this in mind, Burnaby FoodFirst has set forth a mandate toensure that residents have enoughnutritious food, cooking skills toenjoy it, plus a system that valuesthe people who produce what weeat.

Thanks in part to a grant from theBurnaby Hospital Foundation, thegroup is able to hold a dozen freehands-on workshops for people tolearn valuable tips about preparingseasonal meals, growing their own

fresh vegetables, and gaining accessto healthy food.

“With the funding, we are able topay for a co-ordinator, the freshproduce for the workshop andthe presenters who are involved,”says Burnaby Food First volunteerJoyce Cameron, adding there areother community partners who alsohelp ensure the highly informativeworkshops can happen. “Thepurpose of the workshops is to helppeople develop the skills and theknowledge they need to eat healthy,affordable food.”

Burnaby Food First is comprisedof community members and local

agencies working together to bringfood security to Burnaby. In theorganization’s view, food securitymeans that everyone has enoughfood to eat – food that is healthy,enjoyable, and safe.

“Our goals are to ensure thateveryone has enough fresh, healthyfood, enough knowledge to prepareit, and that our food system valuesfarmers, both locally and around theworld,” Cameron notes.

Future workshops underconsideration include: winter soups,root vegetable magic, canning withfood items from the freezer, after-school and work snack ideas, andspring container gardening (designedfor apartment dwellers who want togrow salad greens on their patios).

Burnaby Hospital Foundationhelps support initiatives like thisthough its Community Health andWellness Grant Program, whichwas established to help improvequality of life for all citizens in thecommunity—patients and non-patients alike.

Fifteen years ago, DeidreBlackmore had an idea.

In some form or anoth-er, she wanted to merge the“two halves” in her life intoone.That is, her love of pot-tery and her love of work-ing with people with disabil-ities.Throughout her career,Blackmore had worked asa professional artist and ingroup homes as a care aide.

“I knew what being a cre-ative person had done forme in my life,” she told theNOW. “It goes back to as ayoung person, it’s like howdo I fit into this world that Ijust kind of appeared in?”

June 14, 2000 is the daythat idea turned into a re-ality – PotteryWorks Stu-dio on Royal Oak Avenue inBurnaby opened its doors.The Community LivingSociety hired her to devel-op a pottery program, onethat would be geared to-

wards artists who’ve hadto overcome challenges. Itwould be a place where theycould come to perfect theircraft and sell their pieces atshows and galleries aroundthe Lower Mainland.

“I always felt that startingthis program could give thatidentity to our artists. Otherthan that, their identity is assomeone with a disability,”said Blackmore, who teach-es both pottery and paint-ing.

Initially, the studio startedwith six artists. Blackmoreremembered having just$50, money she used to buyenough clay to make someChristmas ornaments.

“We made $600 fromthat,” she said, adding abouthalf of the sale price, if notmore, goes back to the art-ist, with the rest coveringsupply costs.

Today, PotteryWorks Stu-dio has grown significant-ly. It has attracted nearly 60artists, has expanded to in-

clude photography, and hasmade a name for itself atmultiple art shows over theyears, including this week’sINCLUSION Art Show &Sale inVancouver.

In 2012, the studioopened its first retail spacein the River Market atWest-minster Quay.The space,Blackmore explained, is notonly used to sell art, but togive demonstrations to pass-ersby of how pottery art isdone.

But one of the things thatsurprised her when she firststarted the program wasthat students didn’t put awhole lot of weight on mak-ing money off their work.

“You have situationswhere some of our artistshave brothers and sisters,and they grew up in a fam-ily and watched them go touniversity, get a car and getmarried, all the things we alllook forward to.That’s nothappening for them,” saidBlackmore, who’s often re-

ferred to as “Dee” aroundthe building. “I would say,‘We’ll put that in a showand make you lots of mon-ey,’ and they’d say, ‘I want togive it to my family.’ … It’sself-esteem; they’re good atsomething.They’ve found

something they’re good atand they start to self-iden-tify as artists in the largercommunity.”

DanTell has been withPotteryWorks Studio forabout 12 years, workingboth as a potter and as a

painter. Having come inwith the least natural artisticability, the teacher tells theNOW he’s had the most de-termination and drive out ofall of his peers.

time, put his head downand work.You could seehe’d get frustrated, but he’dkeep trying and keep try-ing, and so, he’s developedincredible skills over a longperiod of time,” Blackmoresaid of his flower and fruitbowls.

Sherilyn Seitz, mean-while, has a natural eye

when it comes to being be-hind a camera. Some of herphotos – close-ups of ev-eryday items, like glass andbark – will be on display atthe INCLUSION event.

“My mom and dad real-ly are proud of me and mybrother is too,” she said witha smile.

Even some staff have dis-covered their own talents.

“There’s a bit of a fal-lacy out in the world thatyou need to be born withthis enormous talent andthen you can do this. It’s 90per cent practice and hardwork,” Blackmore said.

PotteryWorks Studio hasbeen picking up momen-tum recently, with venuesnow contacting Blackmore,instead of the other way

around.Their biggest eventto-date is scheduled for nextsummer at UBC.

Besides giving her stu-dents an identity, the goalof the program is to breakdown stereotypes, accordingto the professional potter.

“By doing this, we’re try-ing to show our larger com-munity the value of our art-ists, what they’re capable of

and who they are, to sortof take away the stigma be-cause people tend to see thedisability first when actual-ly, underneath whatever thedisability is, there’s a verylarge person that isn’t al-ways evident.”

There was a moment ofpause, however, when askedhow being in this role haschanged her personally.

“Sometimes it’s like rid-ing a galloping horse,”she laughed. “Rewardingdoesn’t even cover it.Theseare long-term relationshipsI’ve made with the artistsand with staff. It’s been avery profound thing in mylife. I had the idea to do itand I knew it could work,and it’s become more than Iever dreamed.”

If you want to pick a pep-per from Ajay Sharma’s gar-den, you’d better beware ofwhich one you’re picking.

The NewWestminsterresident, a former minis-ter at Burnaby’s Shiv Man-dir Hindu temple, recentlyharvested a bumper crop ofseveral varieties of chili pep-pers, including one of theworld’s hottest peppers.

“I planted about 50 treesof hot chili peppers.They’vecome up so nice. One ofthem is pepper ghost,” hesays. “This is one of theworld’s hottest chilies. It is1.5 million on the Scovillelist. I’ve also got habanero.

Habanero is only 200,000on the Scoville.”

Wilbur Scoville developedthe Scoville Heat Scale,which identifies the num-ber of heat units in peppers.While jalapenos usually rateabout 5,000 on the scale,theTrinidad moruga scor-pion, which has a rating oftwo million on the Scovillelist, is now considered thehottest chili.

“I am from Fiji islands.We eat chilies but not thathot,” Sharma laughs aboutthe ghost chili. “It says on

the Internet that you cannotcut those chilies with na-ked hand – you have to havea glove on your hand.Youhave to be very careful.”

Sharma grows and pick-les chilies that he usesthroughout the year to addsome zing to curries, soupsand other meals.This yearmarked his first foray intogrowing the ghost chili, awarm-climate plant thatgrows best in full sun.

“I was lucky that this yearwas very nice weather, verysunny weather. It needs a lotof sun,” he says. “I tried itand it worked. It worked re-ally good.”

People who are unaccus-tomed to eating hot chiliesshouldn’t even think abouttrying the ghost chili (bhutjolokia), Sharma says. Henotes there would be burn-ing hot consequences if any-one should try to pick apepper from his garden.

“It would hurt so much,”he says. “It will burn yourmouth.”

Sharma, who moved toCanada from Fiji 45 yearsago, says people from hotclimates are often accus-tomed to eating spices andhave built up a tolerance forhot foods. As far as chiliesgo, Sharma says the ghostchili is the hottest he’s had.

“I just used the tip of it,just the tip,” he stresses. “Ittastes different too. It givesit a good smell, a good fla-vour.”

With little space for a gar-den, Sharma’s front yardis filled with more than 50

large pails containing su-per chili, habanero, blackpepper and even somemild bell peppers. It’s oneof the things that keeps the73-year-old busy in retire-

ment.“When you retire, then

you do this kind of thing,”smiles Sharma. “It makesyour life interesting, you arebusy all day.”

Spicypepperskeephimhappy

It gives it agoodsmell, a good

flavour.

Hot stuff:FormerBurnabyHinduminister Ajay Sharma isgrowing about 50 chilipepper plants in thefront yard of his NewWest home, includingthe smoking hotpepper ghost, which isconsidered one of theworld’s hottest chilies.The chili is so hot thatpeople are cautionedtowear gloveswhencutting the chili so theydon’t get burned.

The Beetle’s retro design continuesinto the cabin and is mostapparent looking at the dash.However, the sporty steeringwheel and racy dials add amodern touch.

Keeping in line withVolkswagen’s originalphilosophy of being the “people’scar,” there is a Beetle model forjust about everybody. On top of thecoupe and convertible body styles,there are trim lines for people focusedon economy, those wanting somethingsporty, and the fashion conscious.

The Beetle Classic is the exciting newcomer. It adds nicetouches such as 17-inch “Heritage” alloy wheels withlarge chrome hubcaps, and plaid seats to really bringback memories.

PerformanceThe VW Beetle is available with either a 5-speed manualor a 6-speed automatic transmission. Also, there’s achoice between two gasoline engines and one diesel.

The standard engine coming in most models is a 1.8-litreturbocharged 4-cylinder. It produces 170 hp and 184 lb-ft of torque while returning good fuel economy.

Powering sport models is a 2.0-litre 4-cylinder. Using aturbocharger and direct injection it produces 210 hp and207 lb-ft of torque.

The 2015 Beetle TDI comes with an all-new turbodieselengine, which will need modifications to meet the newstandards as we all know.

Regardless of the engine, the VW Beetle is easy to drivearound town. Its compact dimensions ease manoeuvrabilityand the design grants great outward visibility.

Out on the open road, the Beetle may not be the mostagile, but it is still plenty fun to drive. The steering isaccurate with a nicely weighted feel, it has lots of grip,

and if you throw it in a cornerit will not lean at all.

However, the Beetle is notperfect. While it is reasonablycomfortable, it does “jumparound a bit” after going overa bump. Also, at high speedsthere is a bit of wind noise.

EnvironmentBehind the wheel of the Beetle,the front seats are spaciousand the robust controls arelogically laid out. You will alsofind a surprising amount ofpracticality in the front as well.

As well as a normal glove box,there is another storage box in theupper dash paying homage to theBugs of the past. Other storageplaces include the dash top, lower

A Fun-to-driveFashion Accessory

centre console and centre armrest. And,while the door bins are paper thin, thethick elastic band makes them usableand versatile.

Nobody buys a Beetle to use as acargo van or a taxi, but its lack ofpracticality behind the front seatsmust be noted.

Since the Beetle only has twodoors, it is difficult to get into the

back. Once situated in either of thetwo rear seats, knee room is very tight

and headroom is not great either.

As for the trunk, cargo space is okay, however,the sloping tailgate means you cannot carry tall items.

Folding the rear seats reveals a rather large ridge thatwill not allow you to easily slide in longer, heavier items.

With all that being said, the VW Beetle requires fewercompromises than its smaller retro rivals.

In terms of equipment, all Beetles come standard with powerwindows, 6-way adjustable seats with leatherette surfaces,and a leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel.

Fit and finish is solid, but all the interior trim pieces arehard plastic, which may add to its retro vibe, but don’talign with modern creature comforts.

FeaturesStarting prices for the standard Beetle range from$19,990 to $30,510. Convertible models range from$26,850 to $35,575 while the Classic starts at $21,990.

Standard equipment includes heated exterior mirrors,height-adjustable and telescoping steering column,8-speaker audio system with single CD player andauxiliary input, and Bluetooth phone connectivity withvoice activation.

Additional features, available as options or on highertrims, include keyless entry, push-button start, heatedfront seats, automatic headlights, rain-sensing wipers,auto-dimming interior mirror, panoramic sunroof,navigation system with 5-inch touchscreen, and aFender premium audio system.

Fuel efficiency numbers (L/100 km) for 1.8-litremodels with a manual transmission are 9.9 city and 7.2highway, while 2.0-litre cars with a manual return 10.4city and 7.7 highway. The 2.0-litre diesel mated to amanual gearbox sees 7.2 city and 4.8 highway.

Thumbs UpThe VW Beetle has a retro feel without sacrificing thebuild quality and amenities of a modern car.

Thumbs DownThe Beetle doesn’t apologize for its shortcomings, butit certainly is not the most practical compact car on themarket.

The BottomlineIf you want a fashionable compact car that is also fun todrive, the Volkswagen Beetle is an interesting choice notfound anywhere.

While it has changed considerably over thedecades, the 2015 Volkswagen Beetle stillexpresses that unique character not found inany other vehicles.

The current generation Beetle was introducedin 2012 to compete with other retro rivals, theMINI Cooper and Fiat 500. Like the others inthis niche, the VW is available as a coupe anda convertible.

While the 2015 model doesn’t see significantchanges, two updates grab attention. The limited-editionBeetle Classic joins the line-up and a new TDI CleanDiesel engine is also available. As most readers know,unfortunately this diesel engine is the one that’s beenaffected by the current VW situation around diesel.

The brand has been tarnished for the time beingbecause of the diesel issue, but this does not meanthat the products themselves are in any way poorlydesigned or engineered. In fact, VW makes some of thebest products in the world and many are consideredthe benchmark in the industry. We will have tocontinue to monitor the news and information to seehow this entire diesel issue evolves – until then, it’shard to predict how the brand will be affected for thelong haul.

For now, however, we want to evaluate the Beetleas a product on its own, without the controversysurrounding the brand itself.

DesignLeaving behind its bubbly persona, today’s model is moremasculine while retaining the distinctive Beetle look.

This Beetle is bolder and more dynamic than itspredecessor, but its non-threatening, smiling front endand bulbous wheel arches remind you of the past. Thesmall spoiler at the back hints at its playful side.

VW made some other changes to the Beetle betweengenerations. The roofline is noticeably lower and flatter,and the track width and wheelbase has been increased.

Most don’t consider saladdressings to be sauces; how-ever, they share the samedefinition: a flavourful liq-uid that enhances a finisheddish.

Salads do not all necessar-ily share the characteristic ofbeing made out of lettuce;they do, however, almost al-ways depend upon a dress-ing of one aspect or another.

Oil and vinegar is prob-ably the most commonhomemade dressing. Itcan be made very sim-ple or quite complex.Themost frequent question Iget asked, when it comes tomaking this type of dressing,is “what oil to vinegar ratioshould I be using?”

Firstly, this depends uponone’s tolerance and desirefor acidity. I personally pre-fer a 2:1 ratio of oil to vine-gar: meaning two measure-ments of oil for every onemeasurement of vinegar.However, a 1:1, 3:1, 4:1, oreven a 5:1 ratio can func-tion just as well, dependingon one’s tastes. Lemon juicecan be used with, or in placeof, the vinegar if desired.

The technique of makinga satisfying oil and vinegardressing will rely more uponthe balance of flavours rath-er than just the ratio used.Different flavourings will ei-ther compliment or coun-teract a ratio, and thus it willhave to be tasted and adjust-ed as needed.

All oil and vinegar dress-ings are emulsified (mixedtogether) before serving.They can be either tempo-rarily emulsified or perma-nently emulsified. A tem-porary emulsion is whenthe mixture is shaken andthe oil and vinegar is com-bined together temporar-

ily. Shortly thereafter, theoil and vinegar will separateonce again.

A permanent emulsionrequires the use of an emul-sifier, such as egg yolk.Theegg yolk particles will coatboth the oil and vinegar par-ticles and keep them sus-pended in each other rath-er than separating.To createthis, the oil must be whiskedin vigorously while adding itvery slowly to the other in-gredients.

All emulsifications,whether temporary or per-manent, always work bet-ter at room temperature, asoil is harder to break downwhen it is cold.

Mayonnaise is basicallyan emulsion of egg and oil.Dressings made with may-onnaise as a base are verypopular as well. Potato saladis a classic example of this.Mayonnaise, however, is indrastic need of additionalflavours in order for it to be-come a great salad dressing.

Please don’t be afraid to

experiment, as some of thebest dressings come frombeing creative and tryingsomething new.

Most importantly, it isa necessity to taste and re-season once the salad hasbeen assembled with thedressing. Potatoes or pasta,for example, on their ownare very bland.They willdefinitely reduce the impactof flavour in the dressing.

Salad dressings can alsobe made from other ingre-dient bases such as sourcream or yogurt.While thesewould be replacements for amayonnaise-based dressing,they do lack the richnessmayonnaise provides. How-ever, low- or non-fat variet-ies of sour cream or yogurtwould be ideal for accom-modating a lower-fat diet.Please keep in mind thatthese may be low in fat andhigh in protein but may alsobe high in carbohydrates.Visit Chef Dez at www.

fruit and vegetables, operate their owncommunity garden and even get fresh eggsfrom a hen house, Van Geel said.“We want to bring the farm back to life,”

he said.

A First for BCWhile linking new residential

developments to farming has been done inthe United States, Van Geel said CreeksideMills is the first such project he knows of inBC.The project’s strata fees are around $180

per month, which will help pay for thefarm operations, a recreation centre andcommunity swimming pools, according toVan Geel.The plan is to roll Creekside Mills out in

Some recreational developers link realestate to golf courses, others to skiing,water sports or tennis courts. At the

Creekside Mills at Cultus Lake, the attractionis a working farm, some of it AgriculturalReserve Land (ALR) that surrounds the 129detached houses.“We’ve incorporated 10 acres of

recreational agricultural land wherehomeowners can enjoy an edible landscapeincluding a community garden, fruitorchards, livestock area, berry fields,and then sell the fruits of their labourat our farmers market or bring it backhome to eat,” explained Steven VanGeel, sales director at Creekside Mills atCultus Lake and founder of Frosst CreekDevelopments.

Agricultural InspirationThe inspiration for Creekside Mills is an

80-acre family farm that had operated for 50years near Cultus Lake. Only a small portionof the land was in BC’s ALR. Frosst Creekpurchased the farm and was allowed to takethe 4.4 acres out of the ALR, but replacedit with about 10 acres that is now deemedagricultural land.“We have incorporated the ALR land

around the development,” Van Geel said,referring the concept as an “agrihood.”Creekside Mills, a bare-land strata, gated

community, will also have full-time staff tomaintain the farmland and lifestock, and willoffer educational programs and workshopsto children about raising plants and animals.Residents will be encouraged to harvest

two phases over the next two to three years,with the farm maturing around it.“I was raised on farm,” Van Geel said,

“and I think a lot of families would like theirchildren to experience it.”According to a 2014 study conducted

by Surrey-based Fifth Ave Real EstateMarketing Ltd., 80 per cent of respondentsfound the concept of recreational agricultureas an attractive amenity they would wantnear their home.At the time of writing, six homes in the

first phase had been sold – two of them toyoung families – although this was before theofficial sales launch in mid-October. Pricesfor two-bedroom ranchers start at $500,000,with two-storey, three-bedroom houses from$600,000, Van Geel said.

These days Halloween’scharacters look more likea Hollywood zombie set –but the central theme is oneany long-ago pagan wouldrecognize: on this night thedead walk again (at leastsymbolically) and spiritsroam freely.

In those ancient times,healing, magic and spiritual-ity were all linked in a com-plex dance that’s not dif-ficult nowadays to dismissas superstition. Except thatsome of the plants then con-sidered powerful have beenfound to be so.

Hemp (a.k.a. marijuana)is one of these. It was one ofthe ingredients in the “flyingointment” said to be usedby witches to give the illu-sion of levitation. Once, itwas reputed to assist visionsfor psychics.

But it had another life formany thousands of yearsas a source of food fromits seeds, as a sedative andpain-reliever and as a fi-

bre which produced strongand durable cloth. In morerecent times, its narcoticproperties overshadowed itsmore practical uses. Nowthe pendulum is swingingback again.

Another “flying” ingredi-ent is aconitum.Today thisis still used (in very minutedoses) as a pain-killer in al-ternative medicine. It’s val-ued for its beauty and slug-resistance as a garden plantbut is hugely poisonous.

Used as a wolf poi-son for many years, aconi-tum should be treated withgloved hands and the ut-most care.

Yet another flying ingre-dient is foxglove (digitalis),which produces the heartstimulant digoxin. One an-cient name for the plant is“witches’ thimbles.”Talland eye-catching with pinkor white bell-flowers, it willgrow in deep shade, flowerfor weeks and populate theneighbourhood if you let it.

Hellebore, another “fly-ing” favourite, was usedlong ago as a cure forworms, lice and as a vom-

iting agent. It fell into dis-use due to a high death rateamong patients.Today itsbeautiful cup-shaped flow-ers and decorative leavesmake it a valued gardenplant.

But hellebore sap on na-ked skin can give you nas-ty burns and blisters.Weargloves for seed-collectingand pruning and thorough-ly clean pruners after usingthem for hellebores.

Hazel is one of the treesassociated with Hallow-

een, along with willow. Bothwere considered “magic”trees with a special attrac-tion for water.They are stillused for water divining.

Unfortunately hazels inNorth America have beenattacked by Eastern filbertblight – and whole orchardsof European hazels have al-ready been torn up.Thecontorted hazel is one ofthose affected. Native Ca-nadian hazels have some re-sistance.

Willow’s magic includ-

ed its ability to relieve painand to heal.The active sub-stance in willow is salicyl-ic acid, which is now madesynthetically in the pain re-liever known as aspirin.

Cuttings can root fast-er and stronger if started inwillow water.This is madeby using water that has hadmany small-cut willow twigssoaking in it.The twigs areremoved after a day or soand the cuttings either start-ed in that water or wateredseveral times with it.

It’s interesting how manyof the plants once used toprotect against evil spiritswere also believed to havehealing potential. For in-stance, ivy was once be-lieved to cure toothache andmake corns vanish.Anne Marrison is happy to

If you were on the UBCcampus a few weekendsago, you may have seenmore than a 100 peopleslowly streaming out of theAsian Centre, eyes loweredand placing each step de-liberately.This was not theearly arrival of zombies forHalloween. I know becauseI was among them.

We were all there for aweekend meditation re-treat led by DianaWin-ston, director of the UCLAMindful Awareness Re-search Center.The bookFully Present:The Science,Art,and Practice of Mindful-ness, which she co-authoredwith Susan L. Smalley, out-lines the scientific evidenceand practical application ofmindfulness meditation.

At our retreat, organizedby theWestcoast DharmaSociety, we practised medi-tation while standing, walk-ing, eating and sitting (on achair, meditation bench ora meditation cushion calleda zafu). Meditation is the

practice of focused attentionor concentration. Depend-ing on your practice, youcan meditate upon an idea,an image or a mantra, suchas the word, Om. In mind-fulness meditation, we focuson what arises in the pres-ent moment.

When we first learn tomeditate while sitting,we focus our concentra-tion on each breath in andeach breath out, noting thesound and sensations in dif-ferent parts of the body.Wecan then shift our attentionto other physical sensations:heat or cold, pressure, ten-sion or pain.

With further practice, webecome aware of thoughtsand emotions as they arise.We train our minds to re-main in the present mo-ment – rather than gettingstuck in the past or project-ed into the future.We rec-ognize when our minds arecarried away in a train of as-sociations or our thoughtssnowball out of control, andwith practice we remain inthe present.

A strong foundation ofmindfulness can serve as asafe anchor from which we

can experience and managechallenging emotions andphysical pain. For example,we can move our awarenessand focus back and forthfrom the anchor of mindfulbreathing to an area of painor a difficult emotion, suchas sadness, anger or fear.

In walking meditation, wefirst learned to attend to thesensations in our feet andlegs as we took deliberate-ly slow, controlled steps. Aswe sped up, we noted thesubtle changes in our sen-sations. In standing medita-tion – a good alternative tositting when you think youmight fall asleep – we rec-ognized that we are in con-stant motion even as we tryto stand still.

In a mindful eating ex-ercise, I shared lunch withmy friend and med schoolclassmate John, but wecouldn’t talk according tothe rules of the retreat.

By remaining consciousof each bite of my sand-wich, apple and pear andevery grape, I noted sensa-tions and subtleties of tastethat I normally would havemissed. It took me 40 min-utes to eat a lunch I would

usually wolf down in 10, butmy appetite was satisfiedwith less food. I’ll be rec-ommending slow, mindfuleating to all of my patientswho are challenged by theirhearty appetites.

Though many peo-ple think of meditationas something that is doneonly in solitude while seat-ed on a zafu, mindfulness ismeditation in motion.Withthe deepening of practice,

mindfulness becomes theattitude with which we canlive every moment of ourlives, as we learn and work,talk and relate to others,and experience being alive,having thoughts and feelingemotions.

An insight arises in thepractice of mindfulnesswhere the focus of our at-tention is whatever arises inthe present – a moving tar-get. Everything changes and

everything is in motion – ev-erything in our world, ev-erything in our selves, in-cluding our thoughts,emotions and bodies.

My favourite place forwalking meditation was theNitobe Memorial Garden,a gem of a Japanese gardenhidden behind the AsianCentre. It reminded me ofthe beauty that is all aroundus every day that we maymiss if we are not mindful.

The freshman forward leads the team in scoringandsitssecondoverall in theGreatNorthwestAthleticConference. TheClan’s hopesof competingat theGNACchampionshipshingeon results thisweekend. PHOTORONHOLE/SFUATHLETICS

WeekendholdsSFU’sFinalFourfateThe Simon Fraser University women’s

soccer team hopes to be the host with themost.

But without some good fortune this week,they could just be playing host to the GreatNorthwest Athletic Conference champion-ships next week.

The Clan entered yesterday’s contestagainst at St. Martin’s trailing fourth placeMontana State Billings by three points, witha game in hand.They close out the regularseason on Saturday when they hostWesternOregon, 5 p.m. atTerry Fox field on Burna-

by Mountain.Getting that fourth-and-final berth to the

GNACs took on extra meaning when theprogram was given the privilege to host theevent – the first time the tournament hasbeen held outside of the U.S.

“We want to win, we want to make it tothat GNAC Final Four tournament andthat’s what it’s all about for us,” said BriannaMorrison, a senior midfielder.

A three-game losing skid threw what ap-peared to be a good bet into a down-to-the-wire operation.

SFU dropped decisions to No. 5-rankedWesternWashington (4-0) and CentralWashington (5-2). In the second game, Si-erra Leung gave the Clan a quick lead just1:59 into the contest, but Central countedfive straight goals to take control. BurnabyNorth alumna Christina Dickson netted herteam-high seventh goal, placing her secondoverall in the GNAC.

The GNACs begin Nov. 5 at SFU withsemifinals at 4 and 7 p.m.The final is slatedfor Nov. 7, 1 p.m.The winner advances tothe NCAA Div. II championships.

Moscroptargetsmomentuminvolleyball runThe senior boys Panthers won’t settle for pre-playoff rankings,as they build their court case for a [email protected]

Inside the lines, the MoscropPanthers are building a case for agreat playoff run.

Undefeated in league play, theBurnaby senior boys volleyballteam are itching for the playoffs tobegin and a chance to show thattheir recent fourth-place rankingin the provincial standings is not amirage.

While rankings are nice, setterJustinYee said it doesn’t mean athing if they can’t show it on thecourt.

“Personally I don’t pay a lot ofattention (to the rankings) but Iknow a lot of the other people payattention to that,” said the Grade12 on-floor leader.

“I think we have the skill set, we

all know how to play volleyball, weall know the fundamentals but wejust need more chemistry.”

As evident in Monday’s 3-0sweep of the Alpha Aztecs, con-sistency and focus have been test-ed over a lengthy league run. Afirst-game 25-8 win was followedby some spirited pushback by theAztecs at 5-5 in the early going ofGame 2. Moscrop pulled aheadbut with the score 22-9, Alphaforced it through nine points be-fore falling 25-15.

In the third game, Moscrop wasmore efficient in wrapping up thenight with a 25-10 decision.

Head coach DavidTam saidplaying to their abilities, and not totheir competition, is something thesquad is still struggling with.

“We’re still scratching and no-where close to where we can be

right now,” saidTam. “Hopeful-ly in the next week we can start toget going and hit our stride for theLower Mainlands.”

The perfect league record hasless to do with theirhigh rating than per-formances at a cou-ple of tournamentsearlier in the season.Moscrop finishedsecond at a Doug-las College tourney,and more recent-ly placing seventh atUBC’s invitational.

“We are a fair-ly explosive offen-sive team, with our strength on theoutsides,” noted the coach. “Of-fensively, the team is very aggres-sive.The defining moment wasfinishing tied for seventh at UBC,

and defeating a few AAA teamsalong the way.”

Led by seniors Aleks Ristic, Jer-ryYan andYee, the Panthers’ line-up features eight Grade 12s and

six Grade 11s.Thosereturning playersare all too familiarwith inconsistency,as a promising sea-son last year came toa screeching halt inthe last game of theLower Mainlands,one win short oftheir goal.

“That was prettyshocking,” recalled

Yee. “We had a pretty good teamgoing in and didn’t expect to loselike we did.That is definitely amotivator, especially this being mylast year. … It’s a big push.”

Tam said the three court mar-shals have set a terrific example ina year where expectations are high.

“(Ristic,Yan andYee) have beena steady force for the team the en-tire year, and the guys that the restof the team can rely on,” saidTam.“All three are relied upon to con-tribute in different areas of thegame.They have done a great jobpushing their teammates to getbetter every game and practice.”

Success depends upon a unitedfront and consistent intensity.Yeesaid the squad needs to close thegap and treat every game, no mat-ter who the opponent, like its do-or-die.

“I think our team really needsa little more of a challenge whenwe play. I feel like when we playteams of a lower playing level we

We’re stillscratching and

nowhere close towhere we can be

right now.

ClanwininOTThey needed a shootout,

but the Simon Fraser Uni-versity hockey team ekedout a 7-6 victory over visit-ing UVic last week at Burn-aby’s Bill Copeland Centre.

Taking away a rough sec-ond period, where the Clansurrendered four goals, theoverall take-away from thegame was more than justtwo points, SFU head coachMark Coletta said.

“I think the guys showeda lot of character in there,”said Coletta. “We’re a fastteam, and in the third peri-od we showed that.”

The powerplay put SFUin the driver’s seat early, asthey counted three extra-man markers. Jaret Babychopened the scoring with thefirst powerplay tally, whileJono Ceci counted anoth-er just 45 seconds into theteam’s second chance.

Tyler Basham would givethe Clan a 3-2 lead just 19seconds into the second pe-riod and Babych would nethis second powerplay goalof the day, but UVic talliedfour times and headed intothe third up 6-4.

Determined to takeback the game, SFU ap-

plied plenty of pressure overthe third. Graham Smer-ek notched his first goal ofthe year, and with 7:07 left,Darnell St. Pierre wouldadd his second career B.C.Interuniversity HockeyLeague goal to tie the game.

The scoring dried upright through overtime, sothe game went to a shoot-out. Ceci and Basham, whohas scored in each of SFU’sthree games, tallied forSFU. CarsenWillans, whoscored a goal and three as-sists, was UVic’s shooterto beat Lyndon Stanwood,earning the Clan the win.

The shootout capped agreat game for Ceci, who inaddition to scoring in theshootout netted a goal andthree assists.With the fourpoints, Ceci — who has 153BCIHL points — is nowonly four points back of theBCIHL all-time scoring re-cord set by RobertVos, whoplayed for University of theFraserValley andTrinityWestern.

The Clan head out ona two-game road trip thisweekend to play EasternWashington and SelkirkCollege in Castlegar.

tend to stoop down to their level andstart playing like them,” he said. “Wealso tend to communicate a lot lesswhen we play those teams, so that’ssomething we can work a lot more on.

“We’re really close. A lot of us playclub volleyball together out of school

so we hang out a lot, hang out atschool – we’re like a family.”

They’ll get to show their playoffform in the league tournament, Nov.9 and 10, which feeds into the LowerMainlands in mid-November – to behosted by the Burnaby champion.

Tam feels the best is yet to come.

“Our ultimate goal is to win a cham-pionship and put a banner up for theschool, but one step at a time.

“We have to get to the Lower Main-lands before we go there…There isstill potentially another 20 games to goin the season,” he said.”

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
