City transportation plan up for review: VolkowWanda [email protected]

Like just about every city in the Lower Mainland, Burnaby has its share of rat-running traf c through neighbourhoods and occasional rush-hour gridlock.

The NewsLeader asked two candidates: What are the traf c and transportation issues in Burnaby and what should the city do about them?

Garth Evans, Team Burnaby, is a lawyer specializing in social housing. He served as city councillor from 2005 to 2009.

“Traf c problems are a major concern in many Burnaby neighborhoods including Burnaby Heights where I live. Many of my neighbors have complained to me about the commuter traf c passing through our neighborhood. When I was a city councillor and sat on the traf c committee I frequently raised this issue and as a result the city held a public consultation

process and produced an area traf c study. So far nothing has happened. What is required is a traf c control system like those in many Vancouver neighborhoods to prevent commuter traf c from using our residential streets. This would involve roundabouts and street barriers designed to direct the traf c back onto Hastings, Willingdon and Boundary. Similar action is required in many other neighborhoods and a Team council will act quickly to implement such a program.

“Infrastructure construction is not keeping pace with new development with the result that our road

network is becoming more and more congested and we are facing future gridlock. Our tax dollars must be used to construct the required infrastructure before future high density development is permitted.”

Incumbent Coun. Nick Volkow is a retired truck driver and chair of the city’s transportation committee.

“Our problem is we’re smack dab in the middle of Metro Vancouver. So our problem is everybody from east of Burnaby is heading into Vancouver. Our problem is trying to mitigate the ow of traf c from the Tri-Cities and Surrey, and with the new expansion of the Port Mann Bridge and the freeway, it’s not going to make it any easier.”

Burnaby city hall will be reviewing its transportation plan, said Volkow, noting it’s been at least 15 years since the last review.

“We’ve just done the Heights traf c plan, bringing in some traf c calming measures—roundabouts, curb bulges and synchronizing the lights along

Hastings Street. We do the best we can with what we have.”

He noted the city just won an award for a system which allows the drivers of all Burnaby emergency response vehicles to control any signalled intersection in the city to help them get to calls as soon as

possible.“We’re in a great location. But with that too,

comes the responsibility of allowing folks that are going through Burnaby to try to get there without impinging on our residential neighbourhoods. It’s an ongoing struggle. I think I’d be lying to you if I said we’ve got the magic bullet and the solution for it.”

Traffi c calming needed for neighbourhoods: Evans

Team Burnaby is promising to post employee grievances online if voters elect the party to a majority on school board.

Team school board candidate Bonda Bitzer, a former director of human resources for Burnaby school district, said posting grievances on the board’s website would increase the transparency around school district issues.

She said parents and district employees have a right to know about issues in the school district.

“At step one, a grievance is often a misunderstanding between an employee and a supervisor and should not be posted but by step three, a grievance is an issue between the Burnaby Teachers’ Association and the board and should be

posted,” said Bitzer in a press release. She stressed that any posting of grievances

would protect the identities of those involved in complaints, involving both teaching and non-teaching staff.

But the issues raised in the grievances would be made public to give parents and taxpayers insight into employer-employee disputes in Burnaby schools.

“People will be able to draw their own conclusions on the merits of various grievances and whether the board is acting responsibly and ful lling its mandate as a public education body and employer.”

Bedbugs are nothing if not big news these days.

Whether it’s reports of the blood-sucking pests appearing at even the poshest hotels or rental apartment buildings being treated to prevent their spread, or even the fact that bedbugs can hitch a ride on clothing or in luggage, it’s all enough to make your skin crawl.

And your wallet bleed. BC Housing spent more than $721,000 over a 12-month period ghting bedbugs at 43 of 49 of its housing complexes in the Lower Mainland, according to recent media reports.

The bedbug-aversion effect is also spreading through online bedbug registries where people can report nding the pests in hotels and apartments, and the fact that it’s now next to impossible to nd a charity thrift store that will accept soft furniture such as sofas.

More recently, public libraries in Burnaby and New Westminster have had to inspect and treat its facilities. In Burnaby the issue was raised after bedbugs were discovered, ironically, in the mystery and thrillers section of

its Metrotown branch in September.So it’s no surprise that bedbug

control now makes up 40 per cent of the business at Burnaby’s Care Pest and Wildlife Control Ltd., where its team of four bedbug-snif ng dogs and their handlers are in high demand.

Care Pest was called in to inspect the Burnaby library branches which, when bedbugs were found, treated shelving with steam and the books with heat to kill the bugs and their eggs.

The dogs are trained to detect live bedbugs or viable eggs, said Marcos Michelet, manager of Care Pest’s dog unit.

“We don’t really care about dead ones because a dead bedbug is a good bedbug.”

ON THE WING

Bedbugs are nocturnal pests that feed on human blood. They’ve always been around, said Michelet, but rst became a major issue right after the

Second World War. When bedbugs became

resistant to the highly-toxic pesticide DDT, it was replaced with a class of chemicals called organophosphates. Those were highly effective in killing bedbugs but their residual effects were extremely long, he explained, leading to them being banned out of concern for its longterm toxic effects on the environment.

Today, the pest-control industry uses organic products derived from the chrysanthemum ower. The drawback is they don’t work as well and don’t

last as long. Essentially, the chemical must hit the bedbugs directly to kill them off, not always the easiest thing to do especially when they’re known to hide in bedding, furniture, and inside walls.

One theory is that the fall of the Soviet bloc in the late 1980s and early ’90s led to increased travel to and from Eastern Europe which had a nasty bedbug problem, he said. Combined with the ease of travel today, it’s led to a worldwide spread of bedbugs.

Treating the problem is easier said than done.

Bedbugs can stay alive for up to a year without feeding. The oval bugs (female are rounder, like an apple seed) generally only come out at night and their black droppings, each about the size of a grain of sand, are the rst telltale signs. Unlike other pests

like mice and cockroaches, they don’t carry disease.

In an apartment building it’s often residents a few doors down from the source of the problem that rst complains.

That’s partly due to the stigma

of bedbugs which is often wrongly associated with lack of cleanliness, Michelet said.

“A lot of people think if I say anything my landlord is going to make me pay for treatment or evict me. It’s not true.”

By the time someone complains, often 10 per cent of a building will already be infested, he said.

“The government says it’s not a health issue but it is a mental health issue.”

A large part of the fear around bedbugs is that they attack at night, when people are asleep, “in your bed which is a most sacred place.”

While Care Pest will sometimes treat with chemicals, after one of its sniffer dogs detects bedbugs present, it advocates heat treatment. In that case, rooms are sealed off and heaters and fans used to mimic

a convection oven, bringing the temperature up to 50 C, hot enough to kill bedbugs.

Clutter is the greatest challenge to all forms of bedbug treatment, Michelet noted. During heat treatment, clutter can prevent the hot air from circulating to kill off all the pests. Otherwise, the heat treatment is 90 per cent effective with just one treatment.

INCREASING COMPLAINTS

New Westminster Coun. Jaimie McEvoy has heard an increasing number of bedbug complaints through his role as director of the Hospitality Project, a charity that supports the New Westminster Food Bank among other services.

He said bedbugs are hard to control but even more so when landlords don’t know how to deal with the problem properly or are slow to respond.

Nevertheless, the problem is everywhere. The independent online Bedbug Registry recently had 19,444 bedbug reports for Vancouver with 180 reports in New Westminster.

Avoiding the bedbug bite

Thomas Bernard...Says he uses the

library four times a week, when he heard about the bedbugs, “I was surprised, I was shocked, I couldn’t believe the bed bugs got into books.”

Says the presence of bed bugs in the library makes him think twice about borrowing books.

Pat Quadrelli...Says the bedbug

infestation at New Westminster library has given him “very minor pause” when using the library, but it is in the back of his mind. He says it’s a very limited outbreak so he’s not too worried.

Jane Scott...Says when she

heard there were bedbugs in the library, “you got a bit of a scare, but they’ve looked at all the books,” and she’s con dent the problem is under control. She is taking a closer look at the books she takes home to make sure they’re not infested.

Abdi Yonis...Says he uses the

library a lot, “but I didn’t think the library would be a place where they’d nd bedbugs, they’re supposed to be in beds, not books.”

BUGGED? Several libraries in the reigon have faced temporary closures to deal with the discovery of bedbugs. Recently, two Burnaby branches dealt with the insect, and just two weeks ago, they were found at New Westminster public library. Patrons visiting there last week were asked their thoughts.

“They’re in apartments, hotels, hospitals, and now they’re in our libraries,” said McEvoy. “Anyone can get bed bugs, from a typical rental apartment to high end condos and homes.”

McEvoy said in New York, the problem has gotten so bad the city formed a Bedbug Task Force to deal with the issue. He believes the Fraser Health Authority should follow suit, and intends to present a motion to council asking Fraser Health to do so.

Michelet, who is the handler for bedbug-snif ng beagle Vegas, said his dog sees his work as much as a chance to eat as an opportunity to work.

In a demonstration, Vegas was quick to nd the live bedbugs inside vials hidden inside a roomful of furniture at Care Pest’s of ces. Each time he sniffs out a bug, he sits, pointing his noise at the source.

With each successful detection, he gets a bite of kibble. The four dogs used by Care Pest are trained in Florida and are all smaller breeds—beagle (Vegas

and Ranger), terrier cross (Duke) and whippet-beagle cross (Sky)—since they’re less threatening to clients who are then more willing to use them, Michelet said. In the worst cases, it appears the dog isn’t even necessary, as he shows photos on his cellphone of a side of a bed absolutely covered with the bugs. In that case, the boy whose bed it was is among the 50 per cent of people who don’t react to bedbug bites, so he never noticed the bugs which were on the side of the bed against a wall. It was a neighbour two suites over who rst complained.

Then there’s the other extreme.

Michelet once was called to a house of a woman convinced she had bedbugs. She was itching and scratching and found dark spots on her bed which turned out to be lint. The dog didn’t nd anything, and requested repeated inspections.

When the woman nally went to the doctor

she was diagnosed her with scabies.

“I’m glad to know all my dogs were right,” he said with a laugh.

Woman says Burnaby SPCA failed to properly notify her of adopted cat’s health issues; Shelter says it offered all the assistance it couldWanda [email protected]

A Burnaby couple is upset that they had to put down their cat less than a year after adopting him from the Burnaby SPCA.

Liisa Harcourt said the male cat, Spot, was eight years old when she and her husband Mark adopted him on Nov. 15, 2010. Shelter staff could not nd his le, but he appeared healthy, she said, although they could see a little pink spot in his ear.

Shortly after taking him home, the couple learned Spot had broken, rotting teeth and a cancerous growth on his right ear. They looked after the veterinarian bill and then contacted the SPCA requesting they be reimbursed.

They were told “you can always return Spot,” said Harcourt. “I was appalled by that statement. Who returns animals?”

She said that an SPCA employee eventually told her that Spot had been in its system for three years, and spent time at three branches before he was adopted.

Spot stopped eating on Oct. 28. An x-ray showed a large tumour in his left lung and blood work con rmed he had cancer.

He was euthanized on Monday afternoon.Hours earlier, Harcourt said in an interview that

she feels SPCA staff were not open about Spot’s medical conditions, and if the organization wasn’t aware then they should have taken better care of him.

“If somebody had done maybe a chest X-ray maybe this could have been caught sooner, you know, and not have this terrible end.”

She said they spent upwards of $1,000 in vet bills for Spot but that money was not the issue. Spot was an “outstanding” cat, smart, clever and very loving, and that they likely would have adopted him anyway, but would have liked to have known what they were facing.

“They failed Spot, they failed him,” she said. “You would hope that when you adopt an animal from the SPCA it would be healthy ... It wasn’t disclosed, his health, and that’s what I’m angry about.”

Jane Talbot, former manager of the Burnaby branch of the SPCA, was saddened to hear that Spot had to be put down, recalling that he was “a lovely cat.”

She had only started working at the Burnaby

branch in November 2010 and recalls that Spot had been there a short time, well less than a month, before the Harcourts adopted him. She could not con rm that Spot had been in the SPCA system for a longer period than that.

Talbot, manager of the SPCA’s Vancouver branch since June, recalled that when the Harcourts called to complain of Spot’s medical issues, she offered to refund the adoption fees and take Spot back and even made attempts to get them pet insurance retroactively.

“They have chosen not to take us up on any of our offers,” she said.

“Is it possible something was missed? I suppose, we have hundreds of animals in our care.”

But that’s why the SPCA states in its adoption contracts that people adopting animals have 48 hours to take them to any veterinarian to be checked out, all at the SPCA’s expense, Talbot said. If anything is found of concern, the animal can be returned or a refund given. Otherwise, the contract states that the SPCA will not be held responsible for any present or future illness with the animal.

“We don’t have an animal health technician at the Burnaby branch so we do our very, very best to make sure every animal goes out healthy,” she said. “Because we are not able to catch everything all the time, that’s why we offer the 48-hour vet check and why we offer the pet insurance.”

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERLiisa Harcourt says her cat Spot has a number of health issues she wasn’t made aware of when she adopted him from the Burnaby SPCA last year. The cat was euthanized on Monday.

VICTORIA – A full three weeks after the Occupy Wall Street protest camp sprang up in New York City, a few stragglers announced they were almost ready to “Occupy Maple Ridge” and “Occupy Revelstoke.”

Perhaps other pathetic protests are still being dreamed up around B.C. But most have already packed up, and in places such as Prince George, these anti-capitalist rallies never led to an illegal squat.

Let’s be clear about our squats, the ones in Canada and particularly B.C. They are explicitly anti-capitalist and statist in their message, which is presumably why they were funded by government unions. Despite the free food, power and porta-potties, these squats quickly became lthy and dangerous as the chronic street drug population replaced the spoiled young drummers and hula-hoopers who camped out to curse corporations on their iPhones.

And yes, squats are still illegal here, following a unanimous October decision of the B.C. Court of Appeal against David Arthur Johnston.

This pretend-homeless guy’s antics are at the root of the latest squatter outbreak. Victoria and its courts caved in to Johnston and allowed camping on public property at night. But he demanded 24-hour squatting rights, because some supposedly homeless people are supposedly insomniacs too. Turns out there were plenty of shelter beds on which to snooze away the day or night, and his vague claim of a constitutional right to camp on public property was summarily dismissed.

I had a brief exchange with an Occupy Vancouver “organizer,” one Min Reyes, as she tried to rouse the reluctant radicals of Maple Ridge. Reyes de nes herself in her Twitter pro le as “Flirting with Anarchism while making love to Socialism,” which sums up B.C.’s occupy movement as well as

anything. “My personal approach to the analysis of society relies on Marx’s historical materialism,” Reyes writes on her blog. After majoring in Marxism at SFU, she moved on to BCIT’s journalism program, but dropped out after a couple of weeks because her studies “compromised my personal values.” Turns out BCIT is all about “skills” to get a “job.”

Bummer. A glimpse of these “values” was on display when a reporter from CKNW radio tried to cover a heroin overdose at Occupy Vancouver. She was shouted down and accused of shaping the news to bene t “Coke and McDonalds.”

At Occupy Victoria, which I visited a few times before it descended into another needle park, signs warned against “chem trails,” smart meters and corporations. Campers were urged to “nationalize nance, energy and food” industries. Five-year plan for tractor production, anyone?

Nationalizing banks is also at the top of Occupy Vancouver’s long, pretentious list of demands.

Why is this stale leftist ideology so pervasive? Here’s a hint. The

union representing these kids’ teachers is demanding higher corporate taxes to pay for their typically self-serving, nancially illiterate contract demands.

Here in Victoria, as in Vancouver, the huge growth in shelter, food, clothing and transition housing service doesn’t impress the hardcore system users. Victoria’s mayor built his reputation with years of street outreach work, but he’s still targeted for the ugliest treatment, including vandalism at his family home. Victoria council even kowtowed by voting to “support” the squat next to city hall, where Johnston used to camp. Then they cut off the power and water, which had been commandeered rather than set up by city staff at taxpayers’ expense, as was the case in Vancouver.

In B.C.’s most “progressive” cities, we’re getting used to encountering public areas fouled by vomit, feces and used needles.

‘Occupy’ is just another squat

Remembrance Day is Friday.Which means a long weekend for

most British Columbians. And the temptation to take full advantage of the three-day respite from work will be great. Some may hightail it out of town. Some will get a start on their Christmas shopping.

Which is all well and good, provided we pause to honour and re ect on the sacri ces others made that allow us to enjoy such luxuries as long weekends, travel, bountiful stores.

The last of the WWI veterans are gone. The ranks of those who served in WWII dwindle every year. Soon they, and the stories they tell to enliven that con ict to current generations, will also be gone.

Their sacri ce and their sel ess contribution when they were in the prime of their lives to allow us our current freedoms and quality of life are unquestioned. When they went off to war, the enemy was apparent, unmistakable in its intent. Their job was to be liberators, to vanquish that enemy, banish it forever as a threat. And as we watch them shuf e by in ever smaller ranks at Remembrance Day ceremonies, it’s hard not to swell with pride at the job they did so very well.

The veterans of more contemporary con icts, like the war in Afghanistan, don’t have it so easy. The war they were sent to ght is not universally seen as our

war. The freedoms they ght to uphold are more removed from our daily lives. The decision to send them there is regarded by some as more political and ideological than just.

Sixty years on, their stories won’t be of heroic landings by tens of thousands on forti ed beaches; they’ll be about patrols along dusty roads where death might lurk in a pothole around the next corner. The success of their missions won’t be measured in our ability to vote in free elections but in better access to education and an improved standard of living in faraway lands.

For that, their sacri ce is no less deserving of our honour and respect.

COMMENT

Having read the Parents’ Voice campaign platform and the article about them in the Burnaby NewsLeader, I am increasingly concerned about the suitability of this political party to govern, and even to call itself the voice of parents. The strident opposition to policy 5.45 already showed this party’s determination to punish children who happen to be different and who do not t the heteronormative nature of society. Why haven’t they talked in their campaign about the party’s desire to repeal a policy that would bar discrimination against a minority group? In fact, why have they not said anything about the policy, when it was the very issue that gave rise to this farce of a political party?

Since we’re on the topic of their rhetoric toward children, why are they so determined to punish children simply because of their family’s socioeconomic status? The hot lunch program has been in existence for decades, certainly as long ago as when I was in elementary school. It works. It gives children a chance to have the meals needed to ensure they are best able to learn in the school environment. Since the party has concerned itself with achieving better grades for children, why are they opposing something that does just that?

Speaking of punishing kids because of who they were born to, why are they so upset about the daycare being run out of the Duthie Avenue installation? Have any of them been to it before? It’s not nearly large enough to be a full school, but for families where there’s no one at home to look after the kids until after work, it’s a perfect venue to go to in order to receive care. Why are they trying to shut it down?

The Burnaby NewsLeader already veri ed that the statements made by Parents’ Voice don’t hold water with reality (Parents’ Voice ‘facts’ disputed by school district, Oct. 26), but yet they stand by those statements and continue to defend them as though they were indisputable facts.

The party’s policy prescriptions, when they’re made at all, do nothing but harm those children. How can they claim to be the voice of any parent when you’re running on a platform that harms children?

COUNCIL PAY RAISES OUT OF LINE

If we’re going to make the Stanley Cup rioters accountable for their looting, then perhaps it is time we look at another form of pillaging which warrants similar public outrage: city council salaries.

Every year, local taxpayers are forced to pay eight Burnaby councillors hundreds of thousands of dollars—not just for salaries, but for travel expenses, cellphones, faxing, and “retirement allowances”—for doing what is basically part-time work with a rather vague job description.

Burnaby’s current council members voted themselves a three per cent raise, and Mayor Corrigan’s salary increased 17 per cent in just one year. This at a time of looming global recession and rising local unemployment. Public of cials make an arrogant show of disdain for voters when they increase their own compensation while the ordinary people they serve are losing their jobs and facing an endlessly rising property tax levy.

AGAINST PROGRESS?I was pleased to read that as a result of the

approval by Metro Vancouver mayors of a two cent increase in the gasoline tax the construction of the Evergreen Line will start in the near future. The Transportation Minister announced that construction will start in weeks or months. What a relief! After a delay of nearly 20 years the desperately needed SkyTrain link between the northeast and Burnaby will nally become a reality.

To no ones surprise Burnaby’s current mayor bitterly opposed the funding proposal. It seems to me that he is opposed to progress generally. I’m not keen on paying more for gasoline but recognize that infrastructure is expensive and must be paid for somehow and that an increase in gasoline tax is the fairest and least painful way to do so.

Letter demands withdrawal of district anti-homophobia policyWanda [email protected]

A Burnaby teacher has received a death threat in a letter calling for the withdrawal of the school district’s anti-homophobia policy.

The letter was sent to the teacher’s workplace last June just as the Burnaby school board was about to vote on Policy 5.45 amid much protest from Parents Voice, a group that formed to oppose the policy, said James Sanyshyn, vice-president of the Burnaby Teachers’ Association.

The typed letter, decorated with hand-drawings of knives dripping with blood, reads: “Must immediately withdraw POLICY 5.45! Adhere to the basic social principles! You have no right to do so! You want to destroy our children! You are our enemy! You will be shot!”

Sanyshyn said the threat was reported to Burnaby RCMP. The same letter was also sent to another Burnaby school of cial, but he did not know if that was forwarded to police.

Since the letter was sent, Parents’ Voice formed a political party and is running ve candidates for school board. Sanyshyn said he raised the issue of the letter at a forum for school board candidates Tuesday at the of ces of the Burnaby Association for Community Inclusion.

“I thought it was appropriate to raise this issue at this time because we’re in a political campaign and I think the citizens of Burnaby need to understand that this political party was formed solely in opposition

to a policy that was designed to protect children,” Sanyshyn said, “and that this kind of hate mail came out of the very, very vicious debate that went on about the policy.

“I’m not suggesting that it was sent by Parents’ Voice but obviously somebody who was stirred up by the debate has created this and you have to wonder about a party that engenders that kind of response from people.”

Sanyshyn declined to provide information that might identify the recipient out of concern for the person’s safety and privacy.

“It’s a disturbing act, it’s a cowardly act and it’s meant to put a chill on any sort of discussion around this very important issue of homophobic bullying and fortunately in the case of the teacher who received it, that individual is not going to decrease their activities. They’re still going to maintain the work that they do.”

By Thursday, Burnaby Parents’ Voice was offering a $2,000 reward for information leading to the identi cation of those responsible for the letter.

Parents’ Voice candidate Homara Ahmad said she doesn’t believe that anyone involved with the party had anything to do with the letter.

“We’re denouncing all forms of hate and threats and we’re asking people to join together and stop all these threats and hatred because nobody should have to go through this,” she said.

“We’re being accused of something we haven’t done and we want to know who the perpetrator is and no one should have to feel threatened, that’s just not who we are.”

Burnaby RCMP Corp. Brenda Gresiuk con rmed that they are investigating the complaint. There are no suspects and it is still being actively investigated.

“We take threats very seriously and we’re doing everything we can to exhaust the investigation with hopes of identifying the author,” Gresiuk said.

Anyone with information on the case is asked to call Burnaby RCMP or Crime Stoppers.

Burnaby-New West MP warns country facing ‘huge economic challenges’

Burnaby-New Westminster NDP MP Peter Julian has been named of cial Opposition nance critic.

Since being given he job by interim leader Nycole Turmel last weekend, Julian, as part of the standing committee on nance hearings on pre-budget consultations, has met with the Mark Carney, governor of the Bank of Canada,

Finance Minister Jim Flaherty and Parliamentary Budget Of cer Kevin Page.

“I am aware there is a tremendous amount of work to do in the coming months as Canada enters a renewed economic slowdown,” said Julian. “The NDP caucus is hard at work providing economic alternatives as Canadian families are nding it more and more dif cult to make ends meet.”

Page is projecting another 100,000 Canadians will lose their jobs in the coming months, and the international monetary

fund is predicting Canada will have among the worst current account de cit on balance of payments among industrialized countries in 2012.

“Canada is facing huge economic challenges in the coming months,” said Julian. “The current government is stubbornly determined to proceed with signi cant new corporate tax cuts on Jan. 1, 2012, at a time when the estimated accumulated pro ts of Canadian corporations have reached the half trillion mark and business investment in research and development and machinery is lamentable at low levels.

“The government seems to deny, as they did in 2008, that Canada is entering a renewed economic slowdown. I will be pushing the Harper government to put in place wise investments to ensure economic stability, and to address the rampant inequality that we are now experiencing.”

Why are teachers making a stand on staffing, and class size and composition?

Why are staf ng, and class size and composition important to your child?

The two questions are halves of a whole. The whole is the classroom and the dynamic that grows there every year with a teacher and a group of students. Both need the classroom to be a positive environment to be able to go forward.

Children who have been diagnosed as special needs and given a ministry designation are in every school. But they alone do not create the need for limits on class composition and size. Children with severe learning disabilities or physical disabilities have aides. The child with severe autism has an aide. These children take time and effort in meetings with support staff, paperwork, adapting curriculum, and teacher retraining to better support their learning. But also we must limit the number of special needs children because of the rest of the class.

“The rest of the class” can have a wide range of abilities and behaviours. It includes the child with autism not severe enough to warrant an aide. It’s the neighbourhood child with serious behaviours who suffers from neglect or abuse. It’s the partially deaf child whose parents will not agree to a hearing aid. It’s the child whose parents will not accept learning assistance or ESL, the supposed stigma too much for them. It includes aggressive and hyperactive students, and of course it includes average to gifted students – all with needs. The “rest of the class” combined with special needs children can overburden children and teacher.

The ministry has lowered the bar to exclude many children from a special needs designation who would have received support in the past. Those children are in the rest of the class.

A child with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome sees the counsellor once a week for 30 minutes. Not enough.

The child with Asperger Syndrome gets two 30-minute sessions per week. Not enough. Once

two autistic children were placed together in the same classroom so one aide could work with them together. That was a disaster.

Children who have a ”very disruptive effect on the classroom environment” (Ministry description), “over an

extended period of time” are in the Moderate (!?!) Behavioural Support category. What does moderate behavioural support look like in a school? It’s up to each district to manage its funding to cover staf ng for this support. And guess what, it’s not enough.

It takes time to get a psycho-educational assessment for a child through the school system, about six months from the time of referral. In the meantime that child is in the classroom. In the meantime teachers and specialists meet to write an IEP, an Individual Education Plan geared to the child’s needs.

Parents are part of the process. Teachers implement the plan in the classroom and meet again to check on progress, rewrite criteria and learning outcomes. It takes a great amount of time. There are often three or four IEPs in the rest of the class, added to the ones for students designated as special needs.

Adaptations and modi cations must be made to the program to engage special needs students and problem students in the rest of the class at their level. This is huge. The learning assistance teacher, the classroom teacher, the ESL teacher, and aides spend hours creating and managing resources for individualized learning.

Of course there is the regular provincial curriculum to deliver, continuing assessment and evaluation of all students, and administrative duties.

The classroom teacher might be coaching the volleyball team, running the chess club, and helping with the Christmas concert.

Can teachers nd the time and energy to keep classrooms moving forward, to keep learning positive, and still keep their health and sanity while

doing it all? When the burden is too

great something’s got to give.

Your child suffers when it does.

Because teachers care about teaching every child they are determined to bargain for staf ng, and class size and composition.

Anne Hopkinson is a Burnaby resident still

working on the three Rs: reading, writing, and

rambling.

POPPY FOR POPPY FOR REMEMBRANCEREMEMBRANCE

REMEMBER NOVEMBER 11TH

WHY THE POPPY PROGRAM?There are four good reasons for the Poppy Program.

1. To remind us of the dreadful cost of war and to encourage us to settle further disputes by non-violent means.

2. To keep alive the memory of those who sacrificed their lives for peace.

3. To remind Canadians of our responsibilities to those who died, to the disabled, and to dependents of those who served.

4. To provide funds to assist ex-service people and their dependents in time of need.

THE POPPY FUNDThe General By-laws of The Royal Canadian Legion provide that poppy funds may be spent for the following reasons:a. Assisting ex-service personnel and their dependents in

necessitous circumstances.

b. Payment of the expenses of operating a Service Bureau.

c. Payment of the expenses of the poppy fund campaign.

d. Assisting other poppy funds where resources are depleted and contributing to the Central Poppy fund, administered by the Provincial Command.

e. Purchase, construction, reconstruction, maintenance, renewal, repair, furnishing or refurnishing of housing accommodation or care facilities for elderly or disabled persons, and their dependents are to receive priority of such housing accommodation or care facilities.

f. Purchase of community medical appliances or donations for medical research.

g. Day care centres, meals on wheels, transportation and related services for veterans, their dependents and the aged.

Painting submitted by Irene LaCharite of New West. Artists. Inspired by the

famous “Wait for Me, Daddy” photograph

Wait for Me, Daddy is a photo taken by Claude P. Dettloff on October 1, 1940, of The British Columbia Regiment (Duke of Connaught’s Own Rifl es) marching down Eighth Street at the Columbia Avenue intersection, New Westminster, Canada. While Dettloff was taking the photo, Warren “Whitey” Bernard ran away from his mother to his father, Private Jack Bernard. The picture received extensive exposure and was used in war-bond drives.

WAIT FOR ME DADDY While looking at the famous photograph “Wait for Me, Daddy” taken in New Westminster in 1940, I envisioned what it might have felt like for the soldiers as they left for war. The courage of leaving for an unknown future is expressed in my poem. I also considered the courage of the wives and family members left behind to wait for the soldiers to come back home and wrote, also from the “Wait for Me, Daddy” photograph, a poem from the viewpoint of the main woman in this image taken in 1940.~ Susan McLeodSusan’s poems may be found on the following pages

THANK YOU TO THOSE

WHO GAVE US FREEDOM

LEAVING NEW WESTMINSTERInspired by the famous “Wait for Me, Daddy” photograph

October, 1940: New Westminster streets are grey,I’m in a line of soldiers marching off to war today.I’m leaving home and family, afraid of what’s in store,But need to serve my country, overshadows fear of war.

The sacrifi ce of leaving makes emotions hard to hide.For liberty and duty, I will risk my life with pride.Believing what I do will save the precious things in life,For this I leave my comfort and my safety, and my wife.

I hear a voice that’s calling “Daddy, wait!” and with surpriseI turn and see my little boy with eager loving eyes.He’s running to his father for the love he needs so much.I’m not a soldier for the moment, reaching for his touch.

My life will change forever, but I need to do my part.In Canada is everything, and here I leave my heart.With pain and longing, fear and hope, I leave to meet my fate.Until we fi ght to Victory, my family must wait.

October, 1940: New Westminster says goodbye.Down the slope of Eighth Street, all emotions running high.This war we never wanted has made other evils pale.There’s nothing more important; we must never pause nor fail.

BERNICE BERNARD AND “WHITEY”WAIT FOR DADDYInspired by the famous “Wait for Me, Daddy” photograph

I’m the mother of a fi ve-year old who’s tugging on my hand.He’s been looking for his father and he doesn’t understandWhy the men are dressed as soldiers and why every face is long,And the lines of men keep coming…Whitey pulls to join along.

We’ve been waiting here all morning and I hope my Jack is near.I see fathers, sons and husbands and their wives hold back a tear.And when fi nally we see him he has almost passed us by!Whitey wrenches from my grasp and runs to Daddy with a cry!

Several men can’t help but smile as the spell of gloom departs.It’s rewarding watching children and the meeting of two hearts.And although the day has sadness with departure of our menI will pray to God almighty they will soon be back again.

“I will hold you in our memories with stories every day,And will keep your picture prominent so love won’t fade away.And though troubles may come calling, I will meet them at the gate,You must never give up hope, because your family will wait.”

The Berlin Wall divided Germany for 28 years. It was a misunderstanding that effectively tore it down on Nov. 9, 1989.

When Winston Churchill, Harry Truman and Joseph Stalin signed the Potsdam Agreement to divvy up and map out the occupation and reconstruction of Nazi Germany after its defeat in Second World War, they hadn’t anticipated the German people might not be so keen.

But while West Germany’s reconstruction and economy ourished in the post-war years, the East struggled as property and industry were nationalized. Frustrated by the Soviets’ control on their lives and livelihood, more and more East Germans emigrated to the West; by 1960 the East had lost almost 10 per cent of its working age population, many of them well-educated professionals and skilled workers.

Early Sunday morning, Aug. 13, 1961, East Germany took steps to stem that ow, closing the border between east and west, tearing up streets that ran alongside it and erecting barbed wire fences.

Over the next 28 years, the 140 kilometres wall was widened, heightened and repeatedly forti ed.

During its ignominious history, around 5,000 people managed to defect to the west, by digging tunnels, secreting themselves in hidden compartments in vehicles, ying over the wall in an ultralight. Scores died trying.

But with increasing liberalization in the Soviet Union in the late 1980s, and the weakening communist control of the Eastern Bloc, the wall’s days were numbered. Emboldened East

Germans held mass demonstrations that eventually forced their authoritarian leader, Erich Honecker, to resign.

Hoping to quell the discontent, the communist government decided to ease the border restrictions that prevented East Germans from leaving. The new rules were supposed to take effect the next day, Nov. 10, but the party boss charged with announcing them hadn’t been fully briefed. He said they took effect immediately.

Thousands of Germans gathered on both sides of the wall demanding guards open the gates. Overwhelmed, at 10:45 p.m. the guards yielded.

MARIO BARTEL/NEWSLEADERSeniors at the Confederation seniors centre participate in a weekly session of gentle exercise to encourage tness and social interaction.


The colourful, soft balls sail through the air at Confederation Seniors Centre in Burnaby, landing in outstretched hands amidst chuckles of delight.

But it’s not a game being played. It’s exercise.

To the casual observer, tossing neon-bright balls, stretching rubbery bands and wiggling the ngers may not seem like a strenuous workout, but when you’re 90 years old and dealing with health issues like Parkinsons or recovering from a broken hip, every little bit helps.

That’s the idea behind the gentle chair exercise session that is held every Tuesday at the Centre, one of its Seniors Active in Living (SAIL) drop-in wellness programs.

The gentle exercise sessions, which are conducted by Doreen Player, accompanied by soft music, are part of a pilot program in collaboration with Fraser Health and the Burnaby Health Department to

encourage housebound seniors to get out into the community, stay limber, maybe get a foot massage or their blood pressure checked and enjoy the company of others.

Player says they’ve been a rousing success. Most sessions are packed, some seniors traveling with their caregivers from as far away as Kitsilano.

Nobody leaves with a frown.

“The aches and pains of daily life disappear,” says Player.

“The social aspect is even more important than the physical aspect.”

As she’s dealing with seniors with varying degrees of frailty, Player keeps her exercises simple and with no impact.

The workout regime was designed with input from doctors to provide maximum

bene t with minimal risk. Kinesiology students from

Simon Fraser University are often on hand to help out, and learn about the aging population at the same time.

For many of the seniors, the reward for their 30-minute workout is lunch in the cafeteria at Confederation Centre, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary.

The SAIL program has been around for exactly half that time, launching in 1991 with a health fair and weekly drop-in visits from retired nurses and doctors.

Burnaby’s other seniors centres have followed suit, and the four programs are able to pool their resources as “Burnaby partners in seniors wellness.”

Confederation Seniors Centre and SAIL will be celebrating their joint anniversaries on Nov. 21, from 2-4:30 p.m. The centre is at 4585 Albert St. in North Burnaby.

NURSEintheknow

I received an email recently from a concerned son. He has noticed over the past few months his Mom

has been losing her balance and sometimes falling. He asked if there was anything she could do to

prevent the risk of injury. As November is Fall Prevention Month I thought I would share some information about falls and their prevention.

Q: What are the statistics around falls?

A: Did you know that the risk of falls is one of the most serious healthcare risks a senior can face? And that it is also one of the most ignored? If you don’t believe this, here are a few numbers:

• One in three seniors will fall this year• Eighty- ve per cent of injury-related hospital

admissions among seniors are from falls• Ninety per cent of hip fractures are from falls• Twenty per cent of seniors who suffer a hip

fracture from a fall die within one year Q: What are three suggestions for preventing

falls? (Note: these are only three among many)

Exercise – growing older doesn’t mean that you have to lose strength or your ability to do everyday

tasks. Exercise can help seniors feel better and enjoy life more, even those who think they’re too old or too out of shape.

The 12 second rule – it takes 12 seconds to regulate your blood pressure and get the right amount of blood owing back into your brain

(preventing dizziness).

Here is what you should try:

When you have to get up from bed (midnight bathroom break or getting up for the day) – turn on your lamp. Sit up with your legs over the side of

the bed. Count for 12 seconds. This a great chance to scan the oor for any clutter.

Stand up after a full 12 seconds. Bubble pack your medications. With a basket full of pills in bottles that all look the same, along with a schedule that includes taking certain pills with food and others at different times of the day, it is easy to become perplexed. Unfortunately medication mix-ups are a major concern for seniors.

Q : My dad died six years ago and my mother has been alone in the family home. Her health is failing and she has

finally made the decision to move into assisted living. How can I help make the transition easier? The anticipation is making her so nervous, she’s considering backing out.

The anxiety of moving and changing a lifestyle can be overwhelming. Keep reminding her why she decided to go into assisted living in the rst place. Hopefully, she is not on a waiting list and can move in sooner than later. Try to attend a few meals before the move-in date, to get her comfortable with staff and other residents. Moving into a new living environment can be intimidating. It often takes 2-4 months to adjust, so know that and have patience.

Make sure her new home has items that have personal meaning, including pictures of loved ones and some knick-knacks. Plants or arti cial ower arrangements and throw pillows will make the room

cozy. Keep in mind the new living space will probably be smaller, so there will have to be some sensitive choices about what to bring. Too much clutter will make her yearn for more space. When moving into a new place, making acquaintances and friends can make all the difference.

Give your mom the space she needs to get involved in her new community. Perhaps attend some activities with her to ensure she meets new people.

Q: I am a man in my early 60s and have some age spots and wrinkles I would like to address. I am newly single and am back on the dating scene. My

friends laugh, but I want to keep a youthful look as long as I can. Is it silly for a man my age to be doing this?

We are at the tip of the iceberg when it comes to non-surgical cosmetic procedures. Women have been leading the way in this area, as men were more concerned with hairline remedies. Some of us have spent fortunes on memberships in health clubs to keep or bodies in good shape; why not address the rest of our appearance? Looking good is also about feeling good about ourselves.

Laughing at ourselves

A woman’s husband had been slipping in and out of a coma for several months, yet she had stayed by his bedside every day. One day, when he came to, he motioned for her to come nearer. As she sat by him, he whispered, eyes full of tears, “You know what? You have been with me all through the bad times. When I got red, you were there to support me. When my business failed, you were there. When I got shot, you were by my side. When we lost the house, you stayed right here. When my health started failing, you were still by my side. You know what?”

“What dear?” she asked gently, smiling as her heart lled with warmth.

”I think you’re bad luck.”

Q : This may sound rather heartless, but a retired employee comes around quite often and interrupts us. He is a great guy but his visits can be annoying. What can we do to discourage him?

It’s an extremely sensitive matter because he believes you appreciate his visits while you would prefer he didn’t drop by—at least not so frequently.

He is apparently under the misunderstanding that his visits are genuinely valued and that the conversations are not interruptions but welcomed social times.

You don’t identify when he retired but my guess is that it was within the last year or so: he is probably still going through work “withdrawal.” Men, in particular, seem to identify with their work to the degree that retirement can sometimes cause depression.

He may even be lonely and is missing the fellowship of colleagues.

This can be understandable, especially if he has a small circle of friends or is single.

If you think back to his retirement party—which I am presuming you attended—the MC may have invited him “to keep in touch,” which is a common phrase; the problem is that he has taken it too literally.

Does he have a close friend in the of ce? Perhaps it is his or her invitations that are

prompting him to come by and once there, he naturally turns his attention to others.

You say he is “a great guy” which presumably means he is not self-absorbed and emotionally needy; this should make any communication regarding this issue somewhat less challenging.

One informal option would be to identify his

friend and encourage him or her to share the concerns of the of ce.

The message should be extremely gentle but it would be less upsetting coming from someone close.

A more systematic approach might involve the HR department which could organize regular—perhaps quarterly—social events speci cally for retirees.

These events, implicitly, would replace the current casual drop-ins.

Any communication with him needs to stress that you miss working with him but that in order to give him the attention he deserves, the times for conviviality need to be scheduled and outside of work hours.

An additional bene t of a planned event is that other retirees will

also be invited which may allow him to re-kindle friendships which could possibly diminish his need to drop by your of ce.

Your compassion for him is critical. While he can’t be permitted to continue

interrupting your work day, you don’t want to make him feel unwanted.

Consider a somewhat formal social which could allow him to continue his relationships with former colleagues and, at the same time, connect with other retirees.

Christmas craft show returns Turning 40 can be a bit unsettling. Turning

30, no problem, but 40 can be a real time of reflection and thinking

about the future, taking comfort in things tried and true, while trying out new things as a way of stretching and growing.

The Burnaby Arts Council (BAC) and other non pro t organizations face many of the same questions we all do when looking back and looking forward.

Many of you may already be aware that the BAC is an umbrella organization that helps raise funds for many arts and cultural organizations throughout Burnaby. This year the BAC Christmas Craft Show (formally known as the Burnaby Arts Council

Heritage Christmas Craft Market) turns 40 and it is as good a time as any to re ect and take stock.

Beginning in 1971, BAC hosted a big midsummer craft festival. The success of that event inspired the creation of the annual Heritage Christmas Craft Market, one among a number of craft promotion events.

These craft markets were a major part of BAC programming and fund

raising until the late 1980s when the popularity of craft markets in general began to wane.

Now the Christmas Craft Show stands as the organization’s only craft-focused fundraising event. The craft market has had a number of looks and con gurations over the years.

Caroe Sandoval

At one time, members of BAC would dress in “period costumes” while helping customers and vendors alike. Locations have moved around the city until it found its present home in the beautiful Shadbolt Centre for the Arts. With the economy what it is, arts organizations such as BAC have had to look for new sources of funding. One funding source has been the Festival Burnaby Grant Program, from which BAC was fortunate enough to secure a grant. This has allowed the council to move forward on plans to refresh and enlarge the event by including live entertainment and craft demonstrations.

Throughout the weekend, groups such as a scaled down version of the Royal City Concert Band, vocalist Miriam Davidson, the D’Acquisto Trio, and the Gloria Dei Chorale Society, to name a few, will entertain all who attend.

One old source of fundraising is the Christmas raf e. Again this year generous businesses have donated gift certi cates, dinner vouchers and the like, board members have donated items and many crafters have donated handcrafted gifts to be drawn for on Sunday with the grand prize being a $250 craft show shopping spree.

In a time when almost everything

we use on a day to day basis seems to be mass produced there is something special about things handmade.

This year we will have on offer work by silversmiths, potters, textile artists, woodworkers, glass artists, weavers, candlemakers and more. There will also be a great selection of food stuffs such as chocolates, mixed spices, Christmas cakes, cookies, jams, jellies, chutneys and even luxury peanut butter.

We would be remiss not to mention that some of the vendors participating with us this year have been with this show for over 20 years, about half are new to this show this year, while still others will mark this weekend as their rst show ever. For the vendors who

are stepping forward for the rst time, it is a real time of excitement and stress. Putting yourself out there for the rst time is a big step and we wish them success.

So, please join us between Nov. 10-13 at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts at 6450 Deer Lake Ave. Hours are: Thursday 12-8 p.m., Friday 10 a.m.-8 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. and Sunday 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
