Fatal fall triggers complaint from familyWhen Patti Watson left her 97-year-old

mother Viola Wilson at Fellburn Care Centreon May 16, her mother looked lovely as shealways did during their visits.

“Every day she dressed up nicely,” Watsonsaid, “and, no matter what, she would be atthe window waving till we were out of sightand blowing kisses.”

When Watson saw her mother again thefollowing morning, Wilson was at BurnabyHospital with a broken neck and a fataldeep-brain bleed – her eye and hand blackand swollen.

“It was all so unexpected, so shocking,”Watson said. “From looking just lovely toblack and blue and blood all over her, it wasvery painful.”

Her mother had sustained the massiveinjuries from what police and Fraser Healthinvestigators both concluded was an unwit-nessed fall.

But Watson and her brother Doug Wilsonthink their mother might still be alive todayif the care home had had proper fall precau-tions in place, especially since their motherhad already experienced an earlier unwit-nessed fall just two days before.

The pair lodged a complaint of inadequatecare with the Fraser Health Authority, but an

Survey: Opposition to pipeline grows in cityBurnaby residents are backing the city’s

opposition to the Kinder Morgan pipelinein growing numbers, according to a newonline survey commissioned by city hall.

The city first surveyed residents inJune and found 61 per cent of respondents(who had an opinion in the matter) wereagainst the pipeline expansion, but the

latest numbers show that opposition hasrisen to 68 per cent.

“We want to be sure that we are under-standing citizens’ ongoing and develop-ing concerns about this project, providingthem with all of the information we haveavailable,” Mayor Derek Corrigan said ina news release Monday.

The city hired Insights West to con-duct the second survey in September,and according to the results, more local

residents are aware of key elements ofthe project. Those elements include theincreased volume of oil shipments KinderMorgan’s pipeline expansion would bring.People are also aware the “new” oil is des-tined for foreign markets and that KinderMorgan is primarily shipping unrefinedbitumen, a tar-like form of petroleum fromthe Alberta oil sands. Respondents alsoknew that Kinder Morgan had changed itsrouting preferences and that in Burnaby,

90 per cent of the route will not follow theexisting pipeline’s path, which means theexpansion project is more akin to a newpipeline than a twinning project.

Fewer respondents believe the expan-sion project will bring long-term jobs,something Kinder Morgan has been pitch-ing as a benefit of the project. (That num-ber went from 57 per cent in the first pollto 48 per cent in the most recent.)

A South Burnaby resident istrying to bring attention to a dan-gerous crosswalk in hopes the citywill make it safer for pedestriansand cyclists.

Jim Wu lives near the inter-section of Nelson Avenue andImperial Street, where a pedes-trian crosswalk runs parallel to theSkyTrain on the south side. Thatcrosswalk has been the scene ofabout eight car accidents involv-ing pedestrians or cyclists this pastsummer, according to Wu.

“For other cyclists or pedes-trians who may not be so famil-iar with this location, it’s a realdeathtrap, to put it in not-so-kindwords,” he said. “They assume,‘It’s a crosswalk, I can legally crosswithout any dangers or hazards,’but the drivers, they don’t payattention at all. They can’t see thesigns.”

According to Wu, the signs sus-pended above the road are blockedby the SkyTrain route when head-ing south, and the street-levelsigns are sometimes hidden in theshadows of the track. He also saidspeeding is an issue along Nelson,and with cars parked along thestreet, he says southbound driversmay be more focused on mergingthan on people crossing in frontof them.

“It just creates a whole bunch ofmanoeuvres that take away fromtheir view, and before they knowit, someone tries to cross the roadand they hit someone,” he said.

Wu, who has lived in thearea since 1996, used to take thatcrosswalk frequently to and fromBurnaby South Secondary.

“All through high school, it wasfine,” he said. “I think it’s prob-

ably just within the last five years– there’s a lot more traffic now. Itry to avoid it nowadays and usethe traffic light.”

Wu said he would like to seea signal installed at the crosswalkwith flashing lights.

Coun. Anne Kang, who is thevice-chair of the city’s traffic safetycommittee, said this isn’t the firstcrosswalk near a SkyTrain stationthat has been problematic. Whileshe hadn’t heard concerns fromresidents about the Nelson cross-walk, she likened the situation tothe crosswalk at Royal Oak and

Beresford Street, which had similarissues in the past.

“It’s a special case where notjust enlarging a sign would work– there’s more to it than that,” shesaid, noting the city addresses suchissues on a case-by-case basis.

“The city’s trying its best toupgrade our road system and traf-fic safety system, but in the mean-time, we need lots of feedbackand support from the citizens, andpatience as well.”

Kang said the best way forresidents to highlight pedestriansafety concerns is to write to the

city clerk, who could then forwardthem to the traffic safety commit-tee. She also urged all road usersto be mindful of each other to pre-vent further accidents.

“I think it’s everyone’s job tomake sure that they’re safe, wheth-er it’s to observe how the road ismaintained or can be upgraded,or pedestrians making sure they’renot distracted,” she said. “It’s veryimportant for cyclists to abide bythe street rules because we’re see-ing more cyclists and pedestriansand traffic because we are a grow-ing city.”

‘It’s a real deathtrap’: Jim WuRESIDENT SAYS DRIVERS CAN’T SEE SIGNS, BUT PEDESTRIANS ASSUME IT’S SAFE

Jacob Zinnstaff reporter

Danger zone: According to South Burnaby resident Jim Wu, the crosswalk on Nelson Avenue justsouth of Imperial Street is a “deathtrap” for pedestrians and cyclists. The crosswalk signs are hard tosee for motorists, and its positioning makes it difficult for drivers to manoeuvre.

You could call it a sur-prise attack of parliamen-tary proportions.

The federal NDP wrest-ed control of the Houseof Commons on Friday,outnumbering the major-ity-holding Conservativesand forcing a debate onCanada’s 1,200 missing and

m u r -d e r e di n d i g -e n o u swomen.

“ I t ’ sa debatet h a t ’ sl o n go v e r -d u e ,and theC o n -s e r v a -

tives couldn’t stop us,”Julian told the NOW. “Wehad members of Parliamentwho were in town. We had80 MPs. Because it’s suchan old tired government,(the Conservatives) hadbarely 40 MPs in the Houseof Commons, and so wesaw an opportunity.”

As Opposition houseleader, Burnaby-NewWestminster MP PeterJulian orchestrated themove, which he describedas a rare accomplishment.

“In modern history, wehave never seen a major-ity government lose controlof the House the way theConservative governmentdid today,” he said.

According to Julian, theConservatives can’t stop thedebate now that’s it’s beentriggered, and the House

must vote on whether toaccept the recommenda-tions in the report on miss-ing and murdered indig-

enous women.Julian said the

Conservatives will rejectthose recommendations,

which is why they weretrying to quash the debatein the first place.

Many groups presenting

to the government’s spe-cial committee on violenceagainst indigenous womencalled for a national inqui-

ry, but the Conservativeshave rejected the idea.

Will The Great TeachersWar of 2014 be fol-lowed by The Great

Nurses War of 2015?There is a distinct possibility

that could indeed be the case,and if so, the B.C. governmentmay find itself in a tougher fightwith the B.C. Nurses’ Unionthan it faced with the B.C.Teachers’ Federation.

The BCNU’s contract expiredat the end of March, and negoti-ations for a new one have barelybegun. No specific issues havebeen addressed, as the two sidesare discussing concepts morethan anything else.

But the nurses do indeedhave some specific issues, notthe least of which is workingconditions. It is not unusual forsome nurses to work 16-hourdays, since the nursing shortageis so acute.

The government had prom-ised, in the last contract, tocreate about 2,100 new nursingpositions. Only about a third ofthem have been created, leavingan enormous gap still to be filled(and most of the new positionswent to one specific place – a

new tower at Surrey MemorialHospital – which did not allevi-ate things elsewhere in the prov-ince).

The union says health facili-ties have failed to honour arequirement set out in the lastcontract to call in additionalnurses when patient demandrequires it, instead of just mak-ing nurses work buckets of over-time.

Here is the contract language:“in instances where patientdemand exceeds the normal cap-acity of a facility or a unit withina facility, the employer will callin additional nurses as necessaryto meet patient care needs.”

The situation varies fromregion to region, of course.Some shortages are more acutein some places than in others(and the employer disputes theshortage is as bad as the unionportrays).

But there clearly aren’tenough specialty trained nursesin areas such as emergencyrooms, cardiac units, ICUs, oper-ating rooms and mental health.

The BCNU’s 42,000 membersare expecting a wage increase,and the government will likelyinsist – as it did with the BCTF– that any settlement follows the“pattern” among other publicsector union settlements.

But the government mayhave a harder time dealing withthe BCNU’s demand that morenurses are urgently needed.

No ‘Plan B’ because there is no ‘Planet B’The secretary-general of the United

Nations was one of an estimated 300,000people who marched in New YorkSunday during the People’s ClimateMarch.

Ban Ki-moon said climatechange must be stoppedbecause there is no “PlanB” as there is no “Planet B.”Meanwhile, Canada’s prime ministerdecided to skip the climate change sum-mit. Stephen Harper skipping the summitdoesn’t surprise us. Harper, in fact, seems

to be jumping on the “bring on climatechange faster” wagon instead.

Here in B.C. and Burnaby, we see thepush for the Kinder Morgan pipelineincreasing, while Port Metro Vancouver

recently approved a coal trans-fer facility in Surrey. Both, bythe way, are being built just toexport the fuel. This despite

scientific evidence – and just plain com-mon sense – tells us that fossil fuel isunhealthy and unsustainable.

But shortsighted political leaders

apparently don’t care about the future ofthe planet.

They might, however, care about theirpolitical futures. Folks may take theirtime in waking up to the dangers of cli-mate change, but they are waking up toit. And they won’t blame their next-doorneighbours or China. They will lay theblame clearly where it should be – onHarper-like politicians who will sell outtheir children’s futures and the planet’sfor a quick buck.

As one expert said, “We are rushing

headlong into catastrophic tipping pointsin our climate system.”

The most recent survey in Burnaby onresidents’ views on the Kinder Morganpipeline reveals that opposition numbersare growing.

Will this stop Kinder Morgan or coalpromoters or plans for fracking? Probablynot.

The next generation may well lookback and shake their heads that here inBurnaby folks were debating pipelineroutes at all.

Is B.C. facing anurses’ dispute?

Teachers’ win helps educationDear Editor:

As the picket signs come down and kids are wel-comed back to school, B.C. teachers can hold theirheads very high.

Money-wise, teachers’ gains are modest. Theydid get a few nice things, but not a lot, and afterinflation, yes they even slipped a bit more.

However, the big news is they stopped the ero-sion of public education, and they began the longrebuilding.

A first step is the promised $400 million for classimprovements. But this pales beside their big win:defeating clause E80. This clause, for those whodon’t know, would have allowed the governmentto work around a BCTF win in the upcoming court

case.Now, assuming the appeal goes the teachers’

way (which I’m told is likely), all the 2001 agree-ments will be back in place! Granted, the govern-ment can still try to negotiate them away again, butthey will be in a position of weakness.

They can’t just sweep them all away with legisla-tion as they tried before. They have to argue eachclause on it’s merits. This scenario is what ChristyClark so desperately wanted to avoid, and despiteher beaming expression, this is what she is nowfacing.

So to sum up, the teachers have sacrificed mon-etary gain, but they may just have stopped theLiberals’ undermining of public education. Thankyou, teachers, and many congratulations!

Re: Judge rules against city in mountainbattle, Burnaby NOW, Sept. 19.

So, after all this expense of, what?,thousands, tens of thousands of dollars,for lawyers, etc., including the policingcosts to escort demonstrators, the courtshave told His Worship that it is none ofhis business.

And still, there are no bleachers forbaseball fans to sit on at the ball diamondsin Central Park, and drivers continue toignore the huge stop sign at the Grange/Kingsway merge point because … well,there are no police available to make themdo so.

Protesters help terrorismDear Editor:

Do our anti-pipeline supporters real-ize, that, if successful, their actions assistglobal terrorism? The world is not goingto stop using oil. Canada’s potential cus-tomers will simply keep buying it fromtheir old suppliers in the Middle East.

Islamic terrorists are for the most partfinanced by oil producing Arab states. ISIS,Hamas, Boko Haram and others all appre-ciate Mayor Corrigan’s and MP KennedyStewart’s support!

The union will argue,understandably, that a lackof nurses poses a genuinethreat to proper patientcare. However, the nurs-ing shortage – particularlywhen it comes to specialty-trained nurses – is not con-fined to B.C. It is a nationalproblem, which meansfinding enough bodiesto fill the positions mayprove to be elusive.

The nursing short-age provides the BCNUthe kind of leverage theBCTF lacked at the table.As well, the prospect of anurses’ picket line arounda health facility is a moreworrying prospect for anygovernment comparedto a picket line around aschool.

While that health facil-ity would remain open,staffing would be at essen-tial service levels, whichare likely to be substan-tially lower than normal.Patient care – and patientaccess – would thereforedeteriorate.

Public sympathy fornurses will likely outweighthat directed toward teach-ers (a series of polls dur-ing the teachers disputeshowed half the populacedid not back the BCTF),making it harder for thegovernment to deal withthem.

The government wassteadfast in its determina-tion not to impose a con-tract on teachers.

However, it may finditself having to do just thatin a dispute with B.C.’snurses, if The Great NursesWar of 2015 does indeedbreak out.

!Readers of this column

will know I’ve been fairlycritical of the BCTF leader-ship over the years, par-ticularly over its inabilityto negotiate contracts forits members.

But kudos have to beextended to BCTF pres-ident Jim Iker, who pre-sided over a tough slog ofnegotiations and emergedwith an actual deal.

Iker didn’t get any-where near what the BCTFwas looking for going intonegotiations, but he gotthe deal that was available,and he avoided keep-ing his membership onthe picket line, losing paycheques for another two orthree weeks.

The six-year deal isa historic breakthrough,and it will be interestingto see if the BCTF localunion presidents and localschool superintendents canjointly administer the neweducation fund for hiringspecialist teachers.

If they can, that bodeswell for improving theoften dysfunctional rela-tionship between theunion and its employer. Ifthey can’t, the next con-tract round may be justas problematic as the onejust finished (althoughI’ll be surprised if BCTFmembers ever for vote foran open-ended strike man-date again).

investigation concluded that their allega-tions were unsubstantiated and minimumcare standards as per the Residential CareRegulation had been met.

Under “additional findings,” however,the report states minimum care standardswere not met for parts of the regulationdealing with fall prevention.

“There is no evidence in the documen-tation that there was a falls preventioncare plan despite the resident having beenidentified as a risk for falls,” states thereport, obtained by Watson and her brotherthrough a Freedom of Information request.

Minimum care standards under theResidential Care Regulation require patientsin long-term care to have: an assessment oftheir fall risk, a plan to prevent that personfrom falling and a plan for following up onany falls suffered by a person in care.

Fellburn did not have an assessment orprevention plan on the books for Wilson,according to the investigation, nor wasthere evidence in her file that the centre fol-

lowed up on her earlier fall by monitoringher vital signs or checking her neurovitalsigns, as per Fraser Health guidelines forfalls management.

There are a lot of things the care centrecould have done to prevent their mother’sfatal fall, according to Watson and herbrother – starting with herwashroom access.

Ninety-seven-year-oldWilson, who used a walker,shared one room separatedby curtains with three otherwomen who all had to leavetheir room and cross a hall-way if they needed to usethe washroom.

At night – the time of Wilson’s fall – theroom was also dark, with no night-lights,according to Watson.

She and her brother also said the carecentre should have put precautions in placeafter their mother’s first fall, like fall mats,hip protectors and sheet sensors that wouldhave alerted staff when she tried to get out

of bed.But Fraser Health told the NOW the care

Wilson received on the night of her fatalfall was appropriate, and the shortcom-ings documented in the investigation reportwere essentially a matter of paperwork.

“The death of someone in our care issomething we take veryseriously,” said CathySleiman, director of resi-dential care and assistedliving at Fraser Health.“There was an investigationinto this tragedy, and wefound the care our residentreceived following the fall

was appropriate; however, the staff did notfollow all components of the clinical prac-tice guideline for falls, including properlydocumenting our resident’s care needs andwishes in her file.”

Sleiman said Fellburn had provided thehealth authority with a compliance plan todeal with the shortcomings and has evenimplemented some improvements sug-

gested by Watson and her brother, includ-ing reassessing all clients who are mobileenough to make it to the washroom duringthe day to see if any need more help mak-ing it safely to the washroom at night.

That the care centre had acted on anyof their recommendations was news toWatson and her brother, who said theyhadn’t heard from the facility after meetingwith health officials in July and who had towait almost two months to see the inves-tigation report after making a Freedom ofInformation request.

The pair said they decided to speak pub-licly about their concerns to prevent anyoneelse from suffering the same fate as theirmother – a woman they say was so tender-hearted that she used her flyswatter to shooflies out the door instead of killing them.

“For her life to end as violently as it did,is not right,” Watson said. “We don’t wantany other elderly woman to spend the last24 hours-plus of her life suffering becausesomething wasn’t done that should havebeen done.”

The union for Chevron’s refin-ery workers is criticizing the bid-ding system Kinder Morgan usesfor its Trans Mountain pipeline,claiming large American compa-nies are putting the squeeze onCanadian jobs.

Kinder Morgan charges oilcompanies a fee to transport theirproducts through the pipeline,and each month the companies(that don’t have long-term con-tracts) bid on how much volumethey can run through. The prob-lem is the line can only handle so

much oil, and companies alwayswant more than the maximumcapacity. Kinder Morgan dividesup the allotted shipping volumes,but Chevron has had problemssecuring enough supply for thelocal refinery.

“Yet again, Canada’s naturalresources are being taken advan-tage of by foreign firms, and thegovernment is doing nothing tostop it,” said Unifor’s Westerndirector Joie Warnock in a mediarelease.

The union has submitted evi-dence to the National EnergyBoard, demonstrating that largerAmerican refineries are overbid-

ding and squeezing out smallerrefineries, some of which need tobuy oil back at inflated prices.

According to the union, 75 percent of the oil that comes throughthe Trans Mountain pipeline goesto foreign markets.

“If the government doesn’t stepin, theKinderMorganpipelinewillbecome a pure export pipe,” saidRuss Day, spokesperson for thelocal that represents the refineryworkers. “Our natural resourcesshould create long-term Canadianjobs and meet Canadians’ energyneeds.”

Warnock told the NOW thatif Chevron were to close, Lower

Mainland residents would likelypay more at the pump.

“It would mean the gas prod-ucts from the Lower Mainlandwould have to be imported, andso it increases the gas prices thatway,” she said. “We’re concernedabout Canadian consumers, andof course the good Canadian jobsthat are involved.”

Thirty to 40 per cent of petro-leum products in the LowerMainland come from Burnaby’sChevron refinery. Chevron start-ed bringing oil into the Burnabyrefinery via truck and rail to bol-ster its supply.

The Trans Mountain pipeline

expansion won’t necessarily solvethe refinery’s supply problemeither, as most of the oil is des-tined for foreign markets.

Kinder Morgan sent the NOWa statement, pointing out thatChevron bids on volumes as partof the “spot market” and did notsign up for a long-term contract.

“We value Chevron as a cus-tomer and are confident they willbe able to access the capacity theyneed in the future through the spotmarket. There was a fair opportu-nity for anyone who wanted tomake a long-term commitmentand get a guaranteed supply to doso,” the company stated.

There simply has never beena better time to invest in your hearing.

A New Westminstersenior wants her namescrubbed from a databasetracking national securitythreats following an inci-dent close to the BurnabyMountain tank farm.

Lesslie Askin, a 71-year-old grandmother andretired systems analyst, wastaking pictures on Aug. 3 ofoil storage tanks at a Shellfacility just across the streetfrom Kinder Morgan’s tankfarm. Askin sparked the

interest of Kinder Morgansecurity staff, who arrivedon the scene as she wasleaving.

“They were looking atme, and I actually smiledand waved, because I’mactually quite a friendlyperson,” Askin told theNOW. “I didn’t want to goover because I couldn’t besure who they were.”

Ten days later, policewere knocking on her doorin New Westminster, ask-ing questions. Askin saidsecurity must have writ-ten down her licence plate

number, because police saidthat’s what they used tofind her. Askin explainedshe was just taking picturesto send in with her letter ofcomment to the NationalEnergy Board for the KinderMorgan expansion hearing.

Afterwards, Askinlooked up the name of oneof the officers online anddiscovered he worked withthe Integrated NationalSecurity Enforcement Team,which includes CSIS, theCanadian Border ServicesAgency and the RCMP.The team’s primary goal is

Concern about oil spillswas the number 1 rea-son people opposed thepipeline expansion. Two-thirds (68 per cent) of therespondents also indicatedthey agreed with the city’soppositional stance on theexpansion project.

Lizette Parsons Bell,a spokesperson for the

expansion project, saidthe company understandsthere are varying opinions.

“Our ongoing conversa-tions with the people inBurnaby align with our corevalues, that pipeline safety,protection of the environ-ment and local benefitsare top priority,” she saidin an emailed statement.“We are actively listening

to the community, and weare committed to commu-nicating accurate informa-tion to address these localinterests.”

The poll was based ona five-day online survey,where 506 adults respond-ed. Insights West assumedthe margins of error of plusor minus 4.4 percentagepoints, 19 times out of 20.

thinking holy cow,” she said.Alarmed by the incident, Askin con-

tacted the office of Burnaby-Douglas MPKennedy Stewart, whose staff followed upand discovered her name was entered in adatabase, as she was a suspicious person,but that the file had been closed. Askin hassince filed an Access to Information request,hoping for more answers.

“By what mechanism does aprivate company call a nationalsecurity division (on) someonelike me and report an incident likethis?” she asked.

Stewart raised the issue in theHouse of Commons Friday, askingthe government to apologize toAskin and ensure there was noth-ing permanent on Askin’s record.

“It could cause a lot of trou-ble for the crossing borders andwhatnot,” Stewart said, adding heknows of one other case of policefollowing someone connected to the pipe-line expansion hearing.

Kinder Morgan sent the NOW an emailstating the company can confirm frominternal security records that on Aug. 3security personnel saw someone taking pic-tures at the Burnaby tank storage terminal.(According to Askin’s description of whereshe was on Underhill Avenue, it was actu-

ally the Shell facility.) Askin told the NOWthat she thought she was taking pictures ofthe Kinder Morgan tank farm.

According to Kinder Morgan, securityapproached the person who then fled thescene, and the incident was reported to theRCMP.

Kinder Morgan has had similar incidentsat other terminals in B.C. and Alberta wherethe RCMP have followed up with an inves-

tigation, the company stated.“Our top priority remains the

security and safety of our opera-tions, staff and the community. Itis our security protocol to recordand file an internal report of anysuspicious activities surroundingour facilities and to inform theRCMP of the incident. Any matterreported to RCMP is to ensure thesecurity and safety of our facili-ties and the surrounding commu-nity is maintained,” the statementreads.

On Friday, Askin told the NOW KinderMorgan had invited her to take a tour ofthe tank farm.

As for fleeing the scene earlier, Askinsaid that was a “complete crock.”

Meanwhile, Stewart is hoping anyoneelse with police issues related to KinderMorgan will contact his constituencyoffice.

Alongtime non-profitmusical society needsmore help – or it may not

be able to continue operating.The Clef Society of Burnaby

is looking for new volunteers tocome forward to help keep thesociety running – and it needsto find those volunteers beforeits annual general meeting onSunday, Sept. 28.

The society – which wasincorporated on Feb. 8, 1949 –was formed to advance music inBurnaby by fostering an appreci-ation of music, promoting musi-cal instruction and encouragingoutstanding musical talent, espe-cially in young musicians.

It holds a regular monthlyrecital series at the ShadboltCentre for the Arts and alsohosts an annual scholarshipmusical festival and concertocompetition that attracts some ofthe best young musical talent inthe region.

Needless to say, those effortshave involved a lot of help froma lot of people.

“Over the 65 years sinceits formation, the society hasdepended on hundreds of will-ing volunteers in servicing theircommittees and in managementof their various productions,”the group says in a press release,noting there have been highsand lows over that time in termsof support and successes.

The release notes that recent-ly, non-profit groups have facedmore financial constraints aspublic funding dries up, but theClef Society has continued tosucceed thanks to the efforts ofits dedicated volunteers.

But it notes that the pool ofvolunteers has been shrinking.

“Current Clef Society boardmembers have all served in theirfunction for several years, withsome serving the society for aquarter-century,” it notes. “It istime for a change, for new per-sonnel to come forward to con-tinue pursuit of the goals of theClef Society.”

Current committee membersare not seeking re-election at theAGM on Sunday – which meansthere won’t be any way for thesociety to keep running if newpeople don’t step up to the plate.

“If there are no new members

prepared to step forward … thecurrent committee will have nooption but to discontinue opera-tion of the Clef as a Society,” therelease says.

The AGM is set for Sunday,Sept. 28 starting at 1 p.m. inRoom 103 at the Shadbolt Centrefor the Arts, followed by thegroup’s first recital of the season.

“Surely, it will be a shameif the Clef Society’s support ofyouth in their musical endea-vours were to collapse after 65years of successful operationsince inception,” the release says.

So, what do you say,Burnaby? Can you step into thebreach and help save this long-established group? Do you knowsomeone who might have thetime and skills to help them out?

Drop in to the meeting tojump on board – or, for moreabout the group, check out itswebsite at www.clefsociety.org.

New West’s Premiere JK to Grade 12Private School is Enrolling Now for

604.524.2211www.urbanacademy.ca101 3rd St., New Westminster, BC

EducationA growing body of educational research indicatesstudents in Kindergarten are far more creative thanstudents in Grade 12 – even going so far as callingKindergarteners ‘creative geniuses’. Any parent tryingto navigate through the imaginary play of their fiveyear old can likely attest to that!

Sir Ken Robinson, an international expert oneducation, addresses the conundrum of‘teaching out’ creativity in one of hisTED Talks titled ‘ Do Schools Kill Creativity’?The unfortunate data seems to indicate thatyes, this is in fact what may be taking placein many schools today.

In response, arts-infused learning, anapproach to education that allows students totap into their creativity to better connect with theirsubject matter, is gaining momentum across Canada.Urban Academy, a Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12private school in NewWestminster is a leader in thisapproach to education. “Arts-Infusion means that weteach using the arts – drama, music and fine arts –as tools through with students can connect to the corecurriculum,” explains Mrs. Cheryle Beaumont,Urban Academy’s Head of School.

A Queen’s University Study ‘LearningThrough The Arts’ concluded thatinvolvement in the arts contributed tostudent achievement as much as11 percentile points higher in math thantheir peers, as arts experience helpsdevelop more complex neural networksin the brain. Beyond simply the academicachievement, a creative learning

environment can impact the waystudents think and problem solveand it also increasesself-confidence, all skills thatwill serve them well as they continue throughpost-secondary education and into theircareers. With the world changing at such arapid pace, it is the responsibility of the school

not only to teach the required curriculum, but toequip students with the ability to think creatively,

and approach challenges with the critical skills thatwill allow them to thrive in the future.

Urban Academy is rising to this challenge byeducating students with interdisciplinary linkages.Math and Art are taught through projects such asPythagorean spirals, Social Studies and Media Artsare combined resulting in historical screenplays,and French is taught using the performing arts to

enhance conversation skills. The result is an engagingeducation that truly resonates with students.

Parents are finding their way to Urban Academy,excited about what the future holds for their children.“With the growth the school has been experiencingover the last several years, we are now building anew, state-of-the-art facility to accommodate theexpanding student population” says Mrs. Beaumont.“The community is embracing what Urban Academyhas to offer their children, and it is wonderful to be apart of that growth and development.”More information on the school can be found atwww.urabanacademy.ca.

EducationWhat is Christian education? Books on our teachers’shelves have informative titles: Educating TowardWisdom, Good Teaching Comes From the Inside,Educating with Heart andMind. Christian education is notchurch with the three R’s tacked on, nor is it school witha bible class slipped in occasionally. Christian educationreaches for the head, heart, and hands: we are educatingthe whole child. At Carver Christian High School, ourgoal is to foster life-long learners, men and women ofgodly character for a life of transformation and serviceto others and God. Our certified professional teacherstake that challenge seriously and are themselves life-long learners. Those educators facilitate learning thatproduces strong positive results on provincial exams,enables university enrollments and, through BC Ministryschool evaluations, confirms Carver as a school with astrong academic culture.

A partnership of two elementary schools, Vancouverand John Knox Christian schools, Carver has begun itstenth school year and celebrates the many successfulgraduates going on towards a wide range of professionalvocations: medicine, engineering, law, education,business and the Arts. Many of those graduates begantheir post-secondary journey with healthy scholarships.

At Carver, BC Education courses are taught witha distinctive Christian perspective, challengingteenage students to discover their unique talentswhile developing solid skills and literacies for life.

Carver’s smaller classes, meaningful parentinvolvement and strong communication systemstogether form a deep sense of authentic community.There are ample opportunities for student leadershipas well as excellent academic development with theHonorsWings and AP (advance placement) programs.With smaller student body and class sizes, students fromdiverse backgrounds are able to thrive and developintellectually, socially and personally. The high schoolyears are transformative.Boys and girls enter grade8 as children and graduateas young adults; Christianeducation is an investmentwell worth considering.

Nurturing Gifted ChildrenSince 1985

• Experienced, knowledgeableteacher team - weunderstand gifted learners!

• Focus on pace and depthof learning that matchesstudent needs

• Develops critical thinking,creativity and self regulation

EducationOne answer to this question is to look at ChoiceSchool for the Gifted, an independent schoollocated in Richmond, BC. Established in 1985,this school has provided and continues to providea learning environment specifically tailoredfor elementary gifted learners. The programoffered at Choice is unique. While meeting therequirements of delivering the BC Ministry ofEducation curriculum, it also draws on a largebody of research and best practices for theprovision of appropriate learning for studentswho have identified gifts and talents.

British Columbia, as with many educationaljurisdictions, recognizes gifted learners as havingspecial needs that require provision of learningopportunities and a flexible environmenttailored to students who learn at a faster pace,who possess extensive background knowledge,and who are innovators and creators, problemsolvers and critical thinkers. To do so, class sizesare limited, staff are experienced in working withthese students and the curriculum is designedto provide for the opportunities to explore andexpress the interests that drive their students.

A day spent at Choice might find grade 2 and3 students learning chemistry or how to countin Greek because their curiosity has taken themthere. In every corner books abound, intensediscussions are underway, investigations areundertaken as questions about current events,how something is made or change of seasonsignite interest and exploration. As part of theregular weekly schedule, students undertakechallenges in areas of interest not normallyavailable in schools such as calligraphy, robotics,rocketry, needlework or cooking, creatinginstruments or distinctive and complex works ofart – all driven by their interests and all circlingback into the learning outcomes of science,social studies, language arts, music, art, andmathematics.

Driving all of this is a vision of learning asengaging, active, responsive and personalizedso that each learner can work towards meetingtheir potential and stretch beyond. It is aone-of-a-kind place and we are open to havingyou come and see us in action!

EducationThis is Brockton! A school where students are inspired to inquire aboutthe world around them and encouraged to achieve their true potental asactive learners and global citizens. -Mrs. Alison Wall“ ”

Students learn lessons each day.While many of theselessons pertain to their coursework, kids pick upmuch more than book smarts from school, wherekids first learn to cultivate friendships and buildrelationships. In addition to a new curriculum, newteachers and new schedules, kids also might makenew friends once a school year begins. While somefamiliar faces carry through from grade to grade,chances are youngsters will meet new students whowill soon become good friends.While many kidsfind it easy to make new friends, others might needsome assistance to make the most of opportunities tosocialize and form friendships.

Offer opportunities for socialization - Childrenshould be given the opportunity to explorefriendships outside of the classroom where peerpressure might not be so prevalent.

Establish a carpool or invite a classmate over for aplay date - Unstructured time to play or get to knoweach other is a great way to establish friendships.Invite new children over to see which friendships arethe strongest, but make sure you are not pushing afriendship on your child.

Discover common interests - One of the quickestways to build friendships is through commoninterests, says Kirk Martin, a behavioural therapistand author. Encourage your child to join a club orsports group where he or she can meet other kidswith similar interests. Sometimes finding reasons totalk other children is the most difficult step to makingnew friends. Sharing a common interest removes thisbarrier.

Teach proper manners - Children who are polite,well-mannered and know how to follow directionare better equipped to attract friends. Childrenwho misbehave may be shunned by other kidsand their parents who do not want the hassle of anunruly youngster coming over to play. Respectfulchildren who are honest, trustworthy and capableof sustaining eye contact and making small talk mayfind it easy to make friends.

Take the friendship lead - As parents, you canimprove your child’s chances of making friends bygetting friendly with their classmates’parents. You donot have to become bosom buddies with everyone,but making connections with fellow parents can

reinforce the value of friendship to your children.

Boost confidence levels - As a parent you can talkto your children about their strengths and positiveattributes. Emphasizing kids’best traits will increasetheir self esteem, and that sense of self-worth canmake it easier for them to make friends. A child whois shy and insecure may retreat when meeting newpeople, but a child who can proudly stand behind hisor her accomplishments may attract friends easily.

This year has been hectic for Surrey’s Christine Ashton,but she would not want it any other way.The Surrey mother of twins Thaddeus and Quinntin

has embraced family life since arriving home with herboys this past spring. It was just before Easter thatshe left Royal Columbian Hospital’s Variety neonatalintensive care unit for the first time with her babies, whohad received care for six months as some of the tiniestpremature babies ever seen by the neonatal team.“Since then, it’s been so busy with medical

appointments,” says Ashton. “But the cuties are doingwell and are getting bigger and wider.”

Ashton was only 23 weeks pregnant when she wasrushed to Royal Columbian Hospital with contractionslast October. Thaddeus was born first, weighing only405 grams, or as Ashton puts it, “less than a pound ofbutter.” Quinntin was born two minutes later, at 570grams.As one of four hospitals across the province

prepared to handle the most fragile newborns, RoyalColumbian Hospital cares for hundreds of tiny oneseach year. But twins as premature as Thaddeus andQuinntin are rare.“I was in shock,” says Ashton. “Especially not

knowing if they were going to survive, and knowing theirchance of survival wasn’t very high. I just wanted to givethem a chance.”“Here we had a situation where we had micro-

preemies at less than 24 weeks, and on top of it, twins,”

Thaddeus and Quinntin, at home after six months in Royal Columbian Hospital’s Variety neonatal intensive care unit.

Theway to a beating heart

Themeaningofmoments

For Roy Fawcett of Chilliwack, a summer campingadventure with the grandchildren was just as muchabout creating memories as it was about enjoying theoutdoors. And he’s thankful he had the energy to do it.

It was a different story just a couple of years ago.Back then, Fawcett could hardly move from oneroom to the other in his house without having to takea break. Fawcett suffered from aortic stenosis, acommon condition that occurs when the heart’s aorticvalve leaflets get calcified and become immobile. Itwas leaving him very short of breath.

Fawcett says Royal Columbian gave him his lifeback. That’s because the hospital is one of three in theprovince able to perform a minimally-invasive proce-dure called a transcatheter aortic valve implantation

A health crisis is dif-ficult for any family.In these moments,a grieving daughterhas discovered thesmall gestures canbe as significant asthe expert care.

For Coquitlam’sJuliana Kim, itstarted when herfather Mike had astroke in early 2012.He was rushed toRoyal ColumbianHospital, where hespent a week before he was able to return home.

The family would find itself back in the hospitala year later, when Mr. Kim was again admitted, thistime for persistent coughing. It would be diagnosed asstage 4 lung cancer.

Over the next several months, Mr. Kim would beadmitted to RCH two more times. He passed away inlate September, 2013.

After struggling with the uncertainty over herfather’s health last year, Juliana now recognizes andappreciates the care at Royal Columbian.

She remembers a doctor’s words of encouragementduring an especially challenging time trying to juggleschool and helping care for her father. Juliana saysthe physician’s advice helped her focus heading intograduation.

She also credits a conversation with a nurse forgiving her father the strength to carry on during treat-ment. These are among the personal exchanges thatmake Juliana grateful for the efforts of the health careprofessionals who looked after her dad.■

– or TAVI for short. Royal Columbian is also the des-ignated centre for open-heart surgery and minimallyinvasive cardiac procedures in Fraser Health.

This past summer, Royal Columbian conductedits 100th ever TAVI, which is the option for patientswhose health or medical history make them at high-risk or unsuitable for open heart surgery. WithoutTAVI, those patients could suffer heart failure andsudden death.

TAVI replaces the aortic valve in a beating heartby carefully threading a catheter (a thin flexible tube)that contains the new valve, usually from the groinartery to the heart.

Fawcett says the change in his health was almostinstantaneous. Since undergoing TAVI last year,Fawcett is able to garden with his wife again. And hehas the energy to spend quality time with his grand-children again.

“The team at Royal Columbian Hospital has givenme back a quality of life that I thought was lost for-ever,” says Fawcett. “My family and I are thankfulbeyond words”.■

Back in 1970, Eddie Hatoum had to cancel a datewith his girlfriend when he separated his shoulderand underwent surgery at Royal Columbian Hospital.That’s okay though. They’re married now.

At the time, Hatoum was preparing for theVancouver Canucks’ inaugural 1970/71 season, afterthe team claimed him in the NHL Expansion Draft.

Unfortunately, the smooth-skating forward suf-fered a bad injury during training camp. He fell whiletrying to get by the two defencemen and knew rightaway he was in trouble.

“I was about to hit the ice with my head,” recallsHatoum. “So I turned and landed probably about 190pounds on my shoulder, and that’s when it separated.”

One of the team’s trainers put him in a van, andoff they drove to Royal Columbian Hospital. After abumpy and painful ride from the arena to the hospital,

a doctor quickly realized Hatoum would need to go tothe operating room.

Hatoum was out of action for several weeksbefore finally rejoining his teammates and playing in26 games for the Canucks that first season. Today,Hatoum is a member of the Canuck Alumni and playsa number of benefit hockey games and golf tourna-ments across the province.

Hatoum reflected on his experience at RoyalColumbian Hospital during this past spring’s annualCanuck Alumni Golf Classic. Royal Columbian Hospital

Foundation is a charitable recipient of the event,which saw members of the 1970 team reunite for theday with other former players.

Along with being grateful for the care he receivedat Royal Columbian, Hatoum fondly remembers thedaily hospital visits from then-girlfriend Frances, withwhom he had apologetically cancelled a planned date.

“She came out to Royal Columbian every day fromVancouver, and the rest is history,” says Hatoum,who married her after the two reconnected decadeslater. ■

Gregory Dowsett wasn’t supposed to live as long as hedid. Right from the start, he faced some complicatedhealth problems, including being born with only threeheart chambers instead of four. Greg underwent a fewsurgeries and suffered a stroke shortly after turningone year old.

But mom Marilyn says her son lived life to thefullest and travelled extensively to places like SouthAfrica, Australia, and England, where he enjoyedspending time with relatives.

In late September, 2003, Greg was rushed to hos-pital after falling ill. He was kept in an induced comauntil he passed away several days later, at the age of25. His death devastated Marilyn.

“He was the first thing, the last thing, most of thethings I ever thought of,” says the Port Coquitlamwoman about her son. “I never thought about doinganything without first thinking of Greg.”

The grief was overwhelming, and Marilyn describes

Marilyn Dowsett credits Royal Columbian Hospital for helping her after her son’s death.

having regular panic attacks. “We went to a barbecueonce, and I actually stood in the middle of this back-yard and screamed at the top of my voice,” she recalls.

Marilyn was referred to Royal Columbian Hospitalpsychiatrist Dr. Anson Koo, who eventually admittedher. “I was terrified,” says Marilyn. “But my husbandtook me and knew it was the best thing, because Iwasn’t doing very well. I wasn’t coping at all.”

Marilyn spent five weeks at Royal Columbian Hos-pital, followed by 13-weeks in an outpatient program.“I met the most caring, the most compassionatepeople you could ever meet in your entire life,” recallsMarilyn. “I was also amazed at who else was in thehospital with me. How many young people, how manyordinary people, people that didn’t seem different.They were just struggling with life.”

Over time, Marilyn learned coping techniques thatshe says have helped her enormously. She continuesto see Dr. Koo during follow-up visits.

“My life has changed completely since Gregorydied,” she says. “I am 100% a different person. I justfeel so fortunate that I was where I was at the right timein order to be able to get this long-term support.” ■

Throughout the shorthistory of the physi-cal fitness industry

as we know it – which, infairness, only really tookoff for the average citizenduring the late 20th cen-tury – there has been anongoing debate over therelative merits of exercis-ing alone or as part of agroup or class.

Fairly recent, butenduringly populargroup fitness innovations,including weight-lossboot camps, Zumba andCrossFit, have broughtthis debate into evensharper focus. But whilegroup classes are certainlyincreasingly popular, thereare still some good reasonsto consider flying solo.

First, it is important toacknowledge the benefitsof the group approach. For

one thing, especially forthose interested in social-izing and making friends,group fitness classes canbe incredibly motivat-ing. This is an importantconsideration since consis-tency is arguably the mostimportant aspect of any fit-ness program, even moreso than perfect techniqueor sufficient intensity.

Basically, you cannotmeet any fitness goalsthat you are not regularlyworking toward. So it isworth continuing withwhatever approach suc-cessfully gets you into thegym on multiple days perweek. Group classes arealso a great, cost-effectiveway to learn new exercisesin a low-stress and at leastmoderately supervisedenvironment.

On the other hand, thefun and excitement ofgroup classes may concealsome significant draw-backs.

For one thing, anygroup endeavor is neces-sarily going to neglectaddressing some of yourown personal goals andweaknesses. This can be

particularly harmful if youhave a specific injury thatrequires any level of physi-cal rehabilitation.

Also, a group classusually means there willbe only one or at most asmall handful of instruc-tors available to monitortechnique, which couldincrease the likelihood ofinjury. This is especiallytrue if the movementsrequired by the class areforeign to you, particularlychallenging, or are beingengaged in competitivelywith other group mem-bers.

Finally, the benefitsof group fitness trainingcould plateau over timeif each individual class issimilar enough to the oth-ers to enable your body toadapt to performing therequired movements withdecreased effort over time.

Ultimately, it comesdown to the question ofyour motivation for exer-cising.

If your goals are to meetand be encouraged byyour fitness peers, a groupclass of suitable difficulty

Imagine an iceberg. Allthat we see is the frac-tion above the surface,

but 90 per cent of its bulklies in the depths of theocean.

In health care, most ofour attention is drawn toacute hospital care withless given to the bulk ofcare within the commu-nity: in ambulatory clin-ics, primarycare practices,residential andhome care.

But really,who providesover 90 percent of yourhealth care?

Hint: It’snot doctors,nurses andother health-care profes-sionals. Wheredo actionshave the greatest impacton your present and futurehealth?

Your personal medicaland family histories areimportant in identifyingparticular areas of yourhealth that demand specialattention. Yet by far thegreatest predictor of yourhealth tomorrow are thehabits you practise today.

Some bad habits andtheir negative effects onour health are obvious.

Smoking shortens lifeand its quality throughaccelerated atherosclerosis(narrowing and progres-sive damage to our bloodvessels), thereby increas-ing our risks for prematuredementia, strokes, heartattacks and kidney dis-ease. It increases the riskfor cancers including thelung, oral cavity, throatand bladder. It progres-sively damages the lungs,leading to emphysema orchronic lung disease.

Excessive alcohol (morethan two or three drinkson any day) contributesto high blood pressure,progressive liver damage(leading to cirrhosis and

liver failure),ulcers andimpairment inthe quality ofwork, socialand family life.

Mood andmind alteringstreet drugs,including mari-juana, lead todependenceand addic-tion. Theyare a form ofchemical cop-

ing – similar to the use ofshort-acting prescriptiontranquilizers and seda-tives. They are ultimatelydisempowering; they takeaway one’s sense of con-trol over one’s own life,body and emotions. Drugand alcohol dependenceimpairs mood, judgment,driving safety, work,school and relationships.

The quality of yourdaily lifestyle is a pow-erful predictor of your

future health. You reallyare what you eat. Whatyou consume providesthe energy and buildingblocks for the cells andorgans of your body. Youwouldn’t build a car withdefective parts and fill thetank with contaminatedfuel.

For most of us, ourbodies thrive on a varietyof fruits and vegetables,which provide the vita-mins and anti-oxidants we

need for healthy cellularfunction. We need ade-quate protein to rebuildand repair muscles andother tissues. We also needadequate but not excessivecalories and fats (such asfish oils) in our diet. Ingeneral, we should avoidexcessive animal fat andprocessed food.

If you haven’t put toomuch thought into whatyou eat, take the healthyeating challenge.

See how much betteryou feel with a month ofmore mindful eating.

Over the long term,healthy eating reducesobesity, high blood pres-sure, kidney disease, dia-betes, heart disease andstrokes.

Three other key areasof self-care are (1) physi-cal activity, (2) emotionalmanagement and (3)healthy relationships.

These will be the focus

of upcoming columns thatwill include practical tipsto achieve your goals inhealthier daily living.

Dr. Davidicus Wong willbe speaking on self-care atthe Bob Prittie (Metrotown)Branch of the Burnaby PublicLibrary on Oct. 20. Registerby phone at 604-436-5400 oronline at www.bpl.bc.ca/events. You can read moreabout achieving your positivepotential in health at davidicuswong.wordpress.com.

However, if yourgoals include maximizingathletic performance oraddressing specific healthor mobility issues, a cus-tom-tailored and constant-ly modified individualprogram is likely to bemore effective. In this case,visiting periodically with aqualified fitness and nutri-

2015 Porsche Macan: the “sports car” of SUVs

W ith the Macan, Porschehas expanded its rangeinto a whole new class

of vehicle. The Macan is the firstPorsche compact SUV. To start,the Macan will be available intwo models, the Macan S and theMacan Turbo.

DesignThe philosophy for the Macan

was to make sure it was thesportiest in the compact SUVsegment.

Porsche first focused on theproportions of the Macan, toensure it retains Porsche brand-ing while providing the muscu-lar, agile look.

As a result, it is low and wideand has an aggressive stance thatis perhaps the best combinationof Porsche sleekness and SUVtoughness.

They also made sure thatthe Macan carried over familiardesign elements from its otherproducts, such as the slopingroofline of the 911.

The tail of the Macan is espe-cially interesting; the tail lamps

have an interesting three-dimen-sional character and the wholerear end is very clean but power-ful.

PerformanceThe Macan makes good on its

claim of being the first “sportscar” in the SUV segment. Bothavailable engines and its suspen-sion spell out “drive me” loudand clear.

The Macan S comes equippedwith a 3.0-litre twin turbo V6delivering 340 hp.

Macan: The highest performing premium small SUV you can buy

This enables it to accel-erate to 100 km/h in just5.4 seconds, or 5.2 secondswith the optional SportChrono package.

The Macan Turbo is themost powerful compactSUV on the market. It isalso the first Porsche vehi-cle to use a 3.6-litre twinturbo V6. This produces400 hp and rockets to 100km/h in just 4.8 seconds,or 4.6 seconds in SportChrono trim.

The standard seven-speed PDK transmissionis excellent. Whether it’sin auto mode, or you’rechanging gears using thesteering wheel mountedpaddles, shifts are quickand smooth.

Regardless of the roadcondition, the steering issharp, precise and it hasjust the right amount ofroad feel – somethingother automakers havenot been able to replicatewhen the foundationutilizes electric-poweredsteering feel.

This means the Macanis genuinely fun to driveand toss around. In fact,the Macan delivers asurprising level of perfor-mance well beyond whatI’ve experienced with say,the Audi SQ5 or BMW X3(we will see how it faresagainst the X4).

The Macan is terrificon highway as well, witha smooth, highly refinedride that masks its truepotential.

The Macan is easilymanoeuvrable around thecity, thanks to its tightturning radius, allowingyou to traverse around

busy traffic and smallparking spaces.

The optional air suspen-sion system allows theMacan to be comfortableand adaptable at the sametime. In comfort mode,the Macan handles bumpsnicely, but at the push ofa button, the suspensionstiffens and it becomessporty again. This alsogives you the ability toraise and lower the rideheight.

EnvironmentThere’s no denying the

cabin of the Macan is apure Porsche. It carries onthe interior concept startedon the Panamera.

The cabin is beautiful,materials are robust, fitand finish is exemplary,and even though modernPorsches use a bewilder-ing number of buttons onthe console, everything iswithin easy reach whiledriving.

And while the Macanfeels like a sports car onthe move, you get manyuseful features not foundin a typical sports car – forexample, a usable rearseat.

Unlike some other com-pact SUVs, the Macan’srear wheel arches are nottoo intrusive, allowing foreasier entry and exit.

Once inside, rear pas-sengers have plenty oflegroom and headroom isadequate. However, mod-els with the panoramicsunroof will have a littleless rear headroom, mak-ing it tight for people oversix-feet tall.

Even though it sharesa platform with the Audi

Q5, its sloping roof meansthe Macan has slightlyless total rear cargo space.But the rear seats are split40/20/40 and lay flatwhen folded to help withlarger items.

FeaturesThe Macan S has a start-

ing price of $54,300 andthe Turbo starts at $82,200.These are actually very

competitive pricing.Standard equipment

includes two-zone climatecontrol, heated front seats,heated steering wheel,heated exterior mirrors, anauto start stop system withcoasting functions, powertailgate, Bluetooth andHomeLink.

Additional features,available as options or onhigher trims, include ven-tilated front seats, heated

rear seats, front and rearParkAssist with colourrearview camera, automat-ically dimming mirrors,panoramic roof, a lanedeparture warning systemand much more.

Thumbs UpThe Macan offers usable

versatility while provid-ing best-in-class drivingcharacter.

Thumbs DownThe total cost of the

vehicle can quickly addup with options. Notmuch else on this amazingvehicle!

The Bottom LineThe Porsche Macan is

the highest performingpremium small SUV youcan buy at this point intime.

made the roster of 58 play-ers attending an evaluationcamp for Canada’s nationalwomen’s team in Calgarythis week.

Players from this ros-ter will be chosen to rep-resent Canadaat the 2015IIHF ice hockeyWomen’s worldc h a m p i o n -ship in Malmo,Sweden, nextApril.

Formerly ofthe BurnabyWinter Club,K i m b e r l yNewell is oneof 16 goaltenders askedto attend the camp, whichserves as an opportunityfor the players to showcasetheir talents for the nationalteam’s coaching staff andTeam Canada scouts.

“It’s a tremendousopportunity for the nextgeneration of players topush for spots, so we’reexpecting a very competi-tive camp to kick off the2014/15 season,” saidMelody Davidson, HockeyCanada’s general man-ager of national women’steam programs, in a pressrelease.

Newell, who turns 19 onOct. 4, was also the young-est goalie named to HockeyCanada’s national women’sdevelopment team selectioncamp held in August.

Newell currently plays

for the United States’Princeton University buthelped Canada’s under-18 women’s hockey teamearn a 2-1 overtime winover the United States atthe 2013 International IceHockey Federation worldchampionships in Finland,in January of 2013 (Newellwon top sports story of

the year in thispaper for 2013for that victory.

DefencemanKaleigh Fratkin,22, is also doingBurnaby proudby represent-ing her home-town at thecamp. Fratkinhelped her for-mer team, the

Boston University Terriers,win its third straightHockey East women’shockey championship inthe spring and was one of40 players named to the2013/14 National Women’sunder-22 DevelopmentTeam Selection Camp. Shenow plays professionallyfor the Boston Blades of theCanadian Women’s HockeyLeague and is one of 20from that league selectedfor the fall festival camp.

Therosterannouncementwas made Sept. 17 and theCanada national women’steam fall festival runs Sept.22 to 28 at the MacPhailCentre at Canada OlympicPark in Calgary. The play-ers will be further evaluatedat coming events before thefinal 2015 championshiproster is announced.

For kids in grades 5 to 11 who lovebeing on the hardwood, there is a newskills training program in town.

Split Second Basketball is just what thename suggests — a basketball trainingcourse that aims to shave those split sec-onds off moves on the court.

The course, which will be held at theFortis Sport and Health Centre in Burnaby,has been offered at a private club for thelast five years, but this is the first time it isopen to the public.

Eric Butler, program founder, said kidsdon’t need to be the best players on theirschool teams to join the program, they justneed to love the game.

“We really just need to have interested

players. Players who really want to learnand push themselves and have an openmind and who can say ‘You know, I don’tknow everything, I could learn some-thing,’” he said.

An example of the types of skills theplayers will learn is how to save precioustime shooting a basket.

“You catch a pass that is sent to you andget into your shooting motion and shootthe shot. Most people don’t realize thedifference between successfully doing thatand being rushed or blocked comes downto one or two tenths of a second and byadjusting kids technique a little bit … weget them into a habit and allow them to gettheir shot off (faster),” Butler said.

That said, Butler stressed this isn’t ababysitting service. Boys and girls whosign up should be passionate about thegame and serious about improving.

Butler has a long history on the court.He played ball with the University ofBritish Columbia Thunderbirds and thenwent on the professional basketball circuitin Europe.

Joey Vickery, a 10-year veteran of theCanadian national basketball team, willalso be a coach. Vickery recently retiredafter 19 years of pro play.

“He is really the best guy in the world Ican imagine for teaching. He has a resumelike very few in Canada,” said Butler, add-ing Vickery can relate well to the kids and

the kids can see they don’t have to be thetallest guy to make an impression on thecourt.

“The fact that he is five-foot-nine inchestall is really just a freak of nature,” Butlersaid, with a chuckle.

All the coaches involved in the programplay or have played basketball at least atthe university level. Most have playedprofessionally overseas.

The Split Second Basketball course willtake place on Sundays from 2:30 to 4:30p.m., begins Sept. 28 and runs until Dec.14. Cost is $250.
