Liberal MLA Richard T. Lee faced a coupledozen protesting teachers at his WillingdonAvenue constituency office Monday after-noon.

The Burnaby Teachers’ Association orga-nized the rally to “amplify” its call for govern-ment to enter into arbitration with the B.C.Teachers’ Federation to end the ongoing teach-ers’ labour dispute that has already wiped outmore than a week of school.

The BCTF called for binding arbitrationFriday, but government has rejected thenotion.

Even before the offer, Education MinisterPeter Fassbender told the NOW last week thegovernment was not considering arbitration.“Arbitration allows a third party to come inand make decisions that should be made by theparties at the negotiating table,” he said.

Teachers around the province will nonethe-less vote on arbitration today (Wednesday).

A “yes” vote would end the strike andreopen the schools as soon as the governmentagreed to arbitration.

Back in Burnaby, Lee told teachers he wouldbring their message about arbitration back tothe minister.

“I think everybody has the right to expresstheir opinion,” he said.

City takes case to Supreme CourtThe City of Burnaby has filed a civil claim in

B.C. Supreme Court to keep Kinder Morgan outof the Burnaby Mountain conservation area.

The move, made Monday, is the latest in thelegal battle over the city-owned land, whereKinder Morgan has been cutting trees for sur-vey work for a new pipeline route. The city isalso asking the court for a temporary injunctionto stop the company from cutting trees beforethe court decides on the matter.

“We have no other options. We tried toraise these issues at the NEB, we tried to dealwith the company itself, and now we are inB.C. Supreme Court,” said the city’s lawyer,Gregory McDade. “It’s fairly straightorward.Municipal bylaws are enforceable by courtinjunction.”

The bylaw McDade was referring to forbidsanyone from cutting trees in a city park, some-thing Kinder Morgan did last week duringsurvey work.

The city should know by Thursday if theB.C. Supreme Court will grant the temporary

injunction, but that still won’t solve the largerquestion of jurisdiction. Much of the mountainis city property, yet the National Energy BoardAct says companies can conduct work withoutthe landowners’ permission. The city, which isopposed to the pipeline expansion, has arguedthat cutting trees is breaking the local bylaw.

“Eventually the question will be whetherthe NEB ruling has the jurisdiction to overrideBurnaby’s bylaws,” McDade said. “That canonly be raised in B.C. Supreme Court, and it has

Council decision lights up Kincaid

Approved:Burnabycouncilvoted infavour ofinstalling afull trafficlight atKincaidStreet andSmithAvenue atMondaynight’smeetingafter residentJim Favarobegan apetition forthe lightback in June.

Residents got exactly what theywanted on Monday night as citycouncil approved a full traffic lightat the busy intersection of KincaidStreet and Smith Avenue.

Less than a week after the pro-posal was presented to the trafficand safety committee, councillorsvoted in favour of the traffic signalat the Burnaby council meeting onSept. 8. The push for a signal atKincaid Street and Smith Avenuebegan on June 30 when local res-ident Jim Favaro witnessed hisneighbour Manjinger Bhangu gethit by a passing car while crossingthe street.

Fed up with the dangerousintersection and repeated nearmisses, Favaro started a petition toask city hall to install a full trafficsignal at Kincaid and Smith. Morethan 160 people signed the peti-tion, all of whom shared Favaro’sconcern for pedestrian safety inthe intersection.

After submitting the petitionto city hall, Favaro and Bhangupresented the traffic light proposalto the traffic and safety commit-tee on Sept. 2. In the presentation,Favaro cited several factors as con-tributing to the increase in trafficin the area, including residentialgrowth, increased traffic to nearby

businesses and continued use ofthe intersection by ambulancescoming and going from BurnabyHospital.

The presentation, it seems, hadthe effect Favaro intended becausethe proposal was added to theSept. 8 council agenda and was

subsequently approved.The traffic light at Kincaid Street

and Smith Avenue is expected tocost about $230,000 and will beincluded in the 2015 budget.

“Our only hope was this couldhappen before the kids get back toschool but (Coun. Sav Dhaliwal)

mentioned that all the funds wereallocated for this year and werespect that,” Favaro told the NOWfollowing the traffic and safetycommittee last week. “One doesn’tjust snap a finger and a light goesup, there’s a process. You’ve got todo it right.”

Battle: Another rally plannedto be raised by the company if they aregoing to make that argument.”

The notice of civil claim also arguesthe NEB has no jurisdiction to overridecity bylaws, McDade added.

“The company has been claiming theyhave that right, but no court has given itto them. Now they are not cutting, so wewant the court to ensure the status quocontinues while we have that constitu-tional discussion,” he said.

Last week, Kinder Morgan applied tothe National Energy Board for an orderthat would compel the city to complywith the NEB Act, allowing the pipelinecompany to finish working in the conser-vation area. The order could be enforcedby a court if need be.

The NEB is giving the City of Burnabyuntil Sept. 10 to comment on KinderMorgan’s request, and then the companyhas a further five days to state its positionbefore the board makes a decision on thematter.

McDade said the court’s final deci-sion on jurisdiction could take weeks ormonths.

Kinder Morgan was not available forimmediate comment, but Mayor DerekCorrigan issued a press release blastingthe company.

“This pipeline has not been approved,but Kinder Morgan thinks nothing of ille-gally entering our park, causing irrepa-rable harm to the ecosystem and defyingthe laws our citizens have put in place,”he said in a release. “We will do every-thing we can as a City to ensure KinderMorgan does not return.”

Meanwhile, there is an anti-KinderMorgan protest planned for Saturday,Sept. 13, from 2 to 4 p.m. in BurnabyMountain Park on Centennial Way. Atpress time, more than 200 people hadRSVP’d on Facebook for the event.

Burnaby DouglasMP Kennedy Stewart isopening his office doorsto people who want tohave their say on KinderMorgan’s proposal to run apipeline through BurnabyMountain.

The National EnergyBoard is accepting newapplications from peoplehoping to intervene inthe pipeline hearing, butonly for those affected bythe newly proposed routethrough Burnaby Mountainor those who have exper-tise to offer.

“I encourage residentsand those who use the areato apply to have their viewsheard as the NEB considerswhether or not to allowKinder Morgan to build asecond crude-oil, exportpipeline from Edmonton toBurnaby,” Stewart said ina news release. “I under-stand people are skepticalabout the hearings, but Ibelieve Canadians mustuse these official processesso there is a record of theirinvolvement.”

Kinder Morgan wants tobuild a pipeline throughBurnaby Mountain to con-nect the tank farm andthe marine terminal whileavoiding the Westridgeresidential area. Much ofthe mountain is city-ownedland and a dedicated con-servation area, with pos-sible earthquake hazards

and steep dropoffs. Thenew application period isfor people who are directlyaffected by the pipeline,

but those with relevantexpertise are also invited toapply as participants.

The application period

opened Monday and closeson Sept. 24. Stewart’s officewill be open Monday toFriday, from 10 a.m. to 5

p.m.The NEB also has pro-

cess advisors and onlinetraining conferences for

prospective participants.Go to www.neb-one.

Even though their ongo-ing labour dispute haswiped out the first week ofschool, public support forB.C. teachers hasn’t waned,according to a group ofBurnaby picketers system-atically monitoring thesituation.

Every time the third shiftof teachers at EdmondsElementary School hitsthe picket linebetween 1 and4 p.m., theyset aside twochunks of timeto see how longit takes them toget 100 honksand 100 wavesfrom passingvehicles.

The grouphas conductedthe tallies onthe corner ofEdmonds Streetand CanadaWay twicea day since teachers firstwalked out on full strike onJune 17.

“In no way could it beconsidered remotely sci-entific except that we’reconsistent in our process,”said picket captain EmilySutherland with a laugh.

The teachers kick intogear at about 1:30 p.m. and3:30 p.m. every shift.

“Everybody on theshift stands up and startsto wave,” Sutherland said,“and they call to me ‘honk,’and I tally. If the driver andthe passenger wave, that’stwo waves.”

It usually takes the

group between 18 and 20minutes to secure their tar-get number of honks andwaves.

Their record, set in June,is 13 minutes.

Sutherland said thegroup started the tallies asa morale booster and asa way to respond to theirsupporters, who some-times also shout words ofencouragement like, “Keepit up!” “Teachers are thebest!” and “We love what

you’re doing!”Not all pass-

ersby sharethose senti-ments, but themajority does,according toSutherland.

“We getsworn at prob-ably twice ashift and giventhe finger,”she said, “butI have to saythat’s com-pared to hun-dreds of honks

and waves.”More significantly,

according to Sutherland, isthat it has taken about thesame amount of time to getthe target honks and wavesthis week as it did in June,before the strike had blot-ted out the beginning of theschool year.

“If we can conclude any-thing, it’s that support isnot waning,” Sutherlandsaid.

“It takes us about thesame amount of time, thesame amount of effort.”

There’s no doubt that emo-tions are running high inthe teachers’ contract dis-

pute, so it is perhaps not surpris-ing that all kinds of people aretrying to whip up enthusiasmgetting recall campaigns orga-nized against B.C. Liberal MLAs.

All I can say is, good luckwith that.

Since the recall legislationcame into effect in the 1990s,there have been 24 applicationsfor a recall campaign filed withElections B.C. Only a handfulgot off the ground, and all failedmiserably (one was withdrawnafter the MLA in question quit).

The bar for recalling an MLAis rightly set very high. For arecall petition to succeed andforce a byelection, 40 per centof the registered voters in theriding in question must sign thepetition within 60 days.

In a number of B.C.’s rid-ings, the number of signaturesrequired actually exceeds thenumber of people who actuallyvoted, in total, in the last provin-cial election.

On social media (Twitterand Facebook), many teach-

ers are excitedly talking aboutlaunching a recall campaignagainst Education MinisterPeter Fassbender in his riding ofSurrey-Fleetwood.

For such a campaign to suc-ceed, 14,226 people in his ridingmust sign a petition within twomonths. To put that in perspec-tive, slightly less than 18,000people in total even voted inSurrey-Fleetwood in the lastelection (including 8,200 forFassbender).

This means that about 80 percent of those who voted last timewould have to sign the petition,or that thousands of people whodidn’t vote before would haveto be convinced to participatein an electoral process that theyrefused to partake in previously.

There is little evidence – yet– that the general public is asup in arms over the dispute asthe teachers understandably are.There are no doubt a lot of angryand frustrated parents out there,but only about half of those wholive in Fassbender’s riding likelyeven have children in the schoolsystem, so why should they beexpected to sign a petition boot-ing him from office en masse?

Others have suggested arecall campaign against PremierChristy Clark herself in her rid-ing of Westside-Kelowna. There,more than 18,000 people wouldhave to sign a recall petition forit to go forward, which meansalmost every single person who

Clark may win this one – but at what cost?The latest twist in the teachers’ dis-

pute is starting to remind us of one ofthose old cartoons where someone isstaring up the wrong end of the barrel ofa rifle and snickering, “I’ve gotyou right where I want you.”

At press time, EducationMinister Peter Fassbender wassteadfastly saying no to binding arbitra-tion. At about the same time, the teach-ers’ leader, Jim Iker, was announcingthat the teachers were going to vote onit.

Surely this vote is not intended tosway Fassbender. The vote is to keep histeachers on the line motivated and instep. It is also to send a message to par-

ents that it’s not the teachers’union that is keeping schoolsclosed.

Will the teachers hold firm?Will parents continue to blame govern-ment more (although those poll numberschange daily) for not getting schoolsopen than they will for blaming teachersfor keeping them closed? Who knows?

Last week we saw duelling press con-ferences where both sides came out withmisinformation designed to sway thepublic. Premier Christy Clark said theteachers had asked for unlimited mas-sages. Iker said the teachers were stilllocked out. And neither side appeared tobe ready to apologize for any misstate-ments.

Meanwhile, parents are either pullingtheir hair out or trying to figure if theycan afford private school before the nexteducation labour dispute.

We think this all does not bode wellfor the teachers. Clark knows that if shecan keep parents thinking this is aboutteachers’ wants and not educationalneeds, she’ll force the teachers evenfurther out on a limb. Their strike fundis in trouble, and union members won’twelcome a dues increase after losing payon the picket line.

The trouble with gamesmanship likethis is that it merely perpetuates thegame – and education should not be partof a political game.

Recalls won’t getoff the ground

Teachers just don’t get itDear Editor:

As a Burnaby resident, I am one of the “silentmajority” that sadly cannot support the strikingteachers for the following reasons.

Firstly, the current government was given amandate by the people of B.C. to manage the prov-ince and its finances for the next five years only 18months ago, which most teachers and their unionjust seem unable to accept or respect.

They have openly shown defiance to all govern-ment and employer attempts to manage or resolvethe current dispute, and even seem unwilling toeffectively manage the vast funds already providedto education in any constructive, flexible manner,

that times demand.Most other unions and businesses do understand

that this last several years have required innovationand flexibility to survive and continue to providethe service or product to its customers. Do we seethis from the teachers or their union, or is it thesame old rhetoric over and over from them?

The teachers, by “their vote to strike” back inMay, show no respect or understanding for theirown students and families or other union workersor local businesses directly affected by the strike.Their lack of acceptance of anyone else’s view orposition on education and its funding (which cannotexist in a vacuum), must and will affect spending onother branches of government and social services

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

for many years, if the current teachers’demands are met in full.

To demonstrate my personal disap-proval of their strike, I have shown themmy view by giving them a clear “thumbsdown” several times as I drive past theirpicket line in my local area, so they havegot to know my vehicle, and this morningthey collectively jeered me as I drove by,again another level of disrespect for anycounter view but their own.

As this disrespect seems so ingrainedin their whole culture and attitude now,why should I support them when the con-sequences of their current demands willeffect many other parts of my communityand our society as we know it in B.C.

Tim Savage, Burnaby

Athletes hurt by strikeDear Editor:

This letter is in response to the manyletters to the editor regarding the teachers’strike.

I started coaching football in 1998 asa community coach with Coquitlam. Imoved to Burnaby Central as a teacherin 2000 and became head coach there in2002. As a teacher, I am not a proponentof the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, but, as ateacher, I must adhere to the union’s goalsand directions whether or not they are myown.

As a special education teacher of 33years, I fully understand what they areattempting to achieve. As a coach, I amtorn and thoroughly upset that my teamis not practising while others are. I haveno choice. Burnaby School District hasinformed me that we are not allowed topractise on the field behind our school.The fact that our helmets are locked up in

the school is secondary.My worry is that certain schools will

continue to practise and play games whilemany of us will be forced to stand on thesidelines. This in itself causes issues withour players who are questioning our integ-rity because we will not or can not prac-tise. How am I to convince those playersthat although this is not fair, we are in theright. If/when the strike is over, how canI take my team against another team thatmay have practised and played for weeksand ensure my parents that their son willbe safe. I can’t. He won’t be safe.

The British Columbia Secondary SchoolsFootball Association (BCSSFA) has spentthe last few years making sure that weunderstand concussions, have medicalstaff on the field, teach heads-up tacklingetc., yet they allow this inequity to existand place many players in the provinceat risk.

At present, I am working as an adjunctteaching professor/faculty advisor forUBC. I work with teacher candidates andhelp them to understand the complexitiesof being a teacher.

One of the standards teachers professto follow is: Educators value and care forall students and act in their best interests.How can this be if we are placing footballplayers at risk?

There is another one: Educators are rolemodels who act ethically and honestly. Byletting players continue to practise and/orplay, coaches are reinforcing that old, tire-some “jock” attitude of, “I’m a footballplayer, I’m special.”

People may dislike this strike, but sodo so may of us in the system. However,it isn’t easy to look in the eyes of a playerand tell him that, although it is unfair thatthat coach is not adhering to the standardswe are supposed to adhere to, I am andsometimes being right sucks.

Jim Stockman, via email


Teachers show disrespect

voted in her byelection vic-tory would have to sign it.

And I can’t see many ofher near-12,000 supporters(those who voted for herlast time) siding with theB.C. Teachers’ Federationover having a premier astheir MLA.

All this talk of recallcampaigns suggests, again,that many BCTF memberscommunicate in an echochamber, where the onlything they hear is eachother. The average personwants schools to be openbut doesn’t necessar-ily support the BCTF oneverything.

As I suggested in lastweek’s column, the pub-lic is likely of the “a poxon both your houses”view when it comes tothe teachers’ dispute,which doesn’t translateinto booting MLAs fromoffice because the teachers’union is furious.

In the end, a recall

campaign arising fromthat dispute has about asmuch a chance of succeed-ing as does one of BCTFpresident Jim Iker’s sug-gestions: raising taxes topay for a new teachers’contract.

In other words, nochance.

As I’ve noted before,that line would run rightthrough two provincialridings – Vancouver-Fairview and Vancouver-Point Grey – that gave theboot to the B.C. Liberals inthe last provincial election.

As a result, the chancesof a B.C. Liberal govern-ment pushing that particu-

lar transportation projectanywhere near the top ofits infrastructure prioritieslist is rather remote.

The political centre, aslong as the B.C. Liberalsare in power, has shiftedout of Vancouver.

As a result, transporta-tion projects in places likeSurrey and Langley andthe Fraser Valley stand afar better chance of receiv-ing significant provincialgovernment funding thananything in Vancouver.

The Broadway linewould also need the finan-cial support of the federalgovernment, but the lineruns through the Liberal-held seat of VancouverQuadra.

So unless federalLiberal leader JustinTrudeau wins the nextelection, don’t expectmuch coming fromOttawa.

According to Burnaby RCMP, the victim respondedto a Craigslist ad listing a laptop for sale. He arranged tomeet the seller at Sussex Avenue and Bond Street shortlyafter 7 p.m. Thursday night, but when he arrived at thelocation, two men jumped in his car and pointed what hethought was a gun in his face.

A Burnaby tree-removal company playeda key role in rescuing an injured hawkrecently.

On Aug. 31, a hiker spotted a red-tailedhawk hanging upside down in a tree inFroggers Creek Ravine Park. The hawk’sleg was stuck on a branch, and the bird wascrying out.

The hiker called the SPCA, which inturn called ABC Tree Men, a local treeremoval company, and the Wildlife RescueAssociation of B.C.

ABC Tree Men workers arrived, and oneclimbed the tree, covered the bird in a blan-ket and dislodged the leg, while a co-workergave directions from below.

The Wildlife Rescue Association took the

hawk to the Burnaby Lake rehabilitationcentre, where it’s expected to make a fullrecovery. The association was thankful ABCTree Men stepped in.

“The hawk is a large bird, and it wasa stressful situation,” said spokespersonYolanda Brooks. “Their arborist had to carryout a tricky manoeuvre to circle the tree andcapture it from above, while avoiding furtherinjury or upset to the bird.”

For Jozef Klimo, rescuing hawks is all ina day’s work. The owner of ABC Tree Mensaid his company often receives call to helpsave wildlife and cats.

“I kind of feel like it’s my hobby, too,when you rescue some bird,” Klimo told theNOW. “If we can help we are really happy to(offer) our service.”

ABC Tree Men still charges for wildliferemoval work but offers a discount.

An abandoned tortoiseis lucky to be alive afterthe reptile was found roam-ing near Simon FraserUniversity recently.

AccordingtotheBurnabySPCA, a Good Samaritanbrought the African spurredtortoise, the third largestspecies of tortoise in theworld, to the shelter. Thetortoise – whom staff havenamed Eddie – was foundwandering near SFU.

In a press release, theSPCA points to existinglaws that don’t prohibit thesale of exotic animals andreptiles as the reason whymany exotics like Eddie endup abandoned or worse.

“These tortoises belongin the desert. They can liveup to 150 years and canweigh up to 200 pounds,and pet owners may notrealize how hard it can beto provide for their needs,”Sara Dubois, chief scientificofficer at the B.C. SPCA,said in the release. “Eddiecan outlive several owners.The fact he was found as astray is even sadder sincehe could have easily been

killed by a car. Leaving himto fend for himself alone ishorrible.”

African spurred tortoisesare native to northern Africaand typically live on thesouthern edge of the Saharadesert. They have specificdiets and living require-ments that most ownerswould be unaware of orunable to provide, accord-ing to the release.

As for the fate of theBurnaby Mountain tor-toise, the SPCA has con-sulted with an expert rep-tile veterinarian and willbe recommending a place-ment with the hope Eddiewill eventually be movedto “a sanctuary that catersto his species,” the releaseadded.

“There are very few rep-tile sanctuaries and manyare full – yet another reasonwhy people shouldn’t ownexotic pets,” Dubois said.“We just want to encouragepeople to research exoticanimals and their needs ifthey’reconsideringpurchas-ing an exotic pet. Hopefullythat will lead them to thinktwice before buying a petthey shouldn’t have.”

While it’s not surprising, it is now offi-cial. Burnaby-New Westminster MP PeterJulian will run again for the NDP – thistime focusing on two key issues that haveirked civic governments: a new coal facil-ity on the Fraser and the Kinder Morganpipeline.

Julian characterized the two projects asexamples of the federal government run-ning roughshod over the concerns of civicgovernments in New Westminster andBurnaby.

“These are the types of actions I thinkare reprehensible,” Julian told the NOW.

The City of Burnaby is in a legal battlewith Kinder Morgan over access to BurnabyMountain, where the oil company is hopingto survey the land for a new pipeline route.The National Energy Board, a federal body,

is sanctioning the pipeline company’s work,despite Burnaby’s opposition. Meanwhile,Port Metro Vancouver (also a federal body)approved the Fraser Surrey Docks coalfacility despite opposi-tion from the City ofNew Westminster.

For the 2015 election,Julian will be running inthe new riding of NewWestminster-Burnaby,which includes two-thirds of the riding hecurrently serves and anew portion of NewWestminster.

Julian, first electedin 2004, is the officialOpposition house lead-er for the federal New Democrats.

The Conservatives and the Liberalshave yet to announce a candidate for NewWestminster-Burnaby.

For the recordI have a clarification

I’d like to share with youabout a story I wrote inDecember of last yearabout the passing ofDinty Moore, a longtimeBurnaby resident.

In my article, I wrotethat he was the longest liv-ing amongst his siblings,when I really meant to

say he was the last living.Apologies for the confu-sion, as the distinctionis important, because Ireceived an email fromrelatives of Dinty’s, whopointed out that Montague(Monty) Hutchings Moore(Dinty’s brother), actuallylived the longest out of thesiblings.

Monty was born Aug.10 and lived till Nov. 10,2007, so he died at 93 yearsand three months, whileDinty lived for 92 yearsand six months.

The decision to buy or sell a home represents a monumental milestone in one’s life.Finding the right Realtor® is a pivotal decision and can be a stressful task, but eachRealtor® has their unique skill, personality traits, and value thatwill add to your real estateexperience. Taking the time to selecting the right Realtor® who will meet your needs cansave you a great deal of aggravation and effort in the process of finding a home or sellingyour home quickly. Owning a property is likely the most valuable thing you own, so it isin your best interest to find an Realtor® you can trust. Seek out referrals from friends andfamily and ask about their experience.

It’s the only way to do a great job and to get it done well to protect the interest ofthe client.

Q. What should I look for in a developer whensearching for a new home?

A. Developers in our region provide a wide variety ofhousing options such as price, size, and features in the home.Themost obviouswhen searching for a condoor townhome ispicking your neighbourhood. Do you need to be near transitroutes or amenities that service your lifestyle and what typeof housing are those developers building? Another importantconsideration is their reputation - how many years havethey been in the business? Ensure the developer is in goodstanding under the Homeowner Protection Act and Urban

Development Institute. One of themost important documents you receive when purchasinga brand new home is the Disclosure Statement. Take the time to read what the developer issellingwhich includes your rights to cancel and their rights tomake reasonable changes to thebuilding and your home.

There is a commonmisconception that hearing aids are the“cure all” for hearingloss. In reality, improving communication is a long termrehabilitative process, and the hearing aid and your hearinghealth provider are integral parts. Set realistic goals for yourselfand know what to expect from your hearing aid and hearinghealth provider - to be successful, you must be committed,motivated and educated about your role in this process. Ensure

that each of the following facets of the rehabilitation process are offered by your hearinghealth provider: Education, Expectations & Goals, Follow up, Adjustment Counselling,and Communication Strategies.

In summary, simply purchasing hearing aids will not ensure improved communication,and it is important to remember that hearing aids are not a quick-fix purchase. They aresimply the tools that provide the amplification you need to becomea better listener and communicator. If you are motivated to improveyour communication by obtaining amplification, relearning tolisten and engaging in an active rehabilitation process, then yourchances for improved communication are excellent.

Q. Why should you not drink grapefruit juicewhen taking somemedications?

A. Grapefruit juice inhibits certain enzymes in thebody that are responsible for metabolizing drugs andultimately breaking them down for disposal withinthe body. If an individual started to drink grapefruitjuice when taking certain medications, it might leadto an increase in the dose of the medication causing

harmful unwanted side effects. For instance, Lipitor is one medication thatmay be increased if taken with grapefruit juice; others include statins andcertain blood pressure lowering medications. Grapefruit juice is the mainculprit for inhibiting enzymes within the body, but seville oranges also exert asimilar effect within the body. Other fruit juices are usually okay to take withmedications, but to be extra cautious - water is always safe to take with oralmedications. If you ever have any questions about what is safe to take withyour medications, please do not hesitate to call or drop by Target Pharmacy.

Q.What is catnip?Is it safe?

A. Catnip is a natural feline attractantof plant origin, called Nepetalactone.It is a mild hallucinogen for cats, andprovides a feeling of enjoyment tomost cats - usual behaviors seen arerubbing on the plant (or toy containingcatnip), licking at it, rolling and simply,

being happy for 10-15 minutes. Even wild cats (tigers,leopards etc) are known to exhibit a similar feeling ofenjoyment when exposed to catnip.

Catnip is safe for cats. Although cats will refuse itonce they have had enough, I recommend exposingyour cat to it sparingly – once a week is usually agood idea.

Though the currentstress for manyparents is arranging

daycare and keeping kidsproductively occupieduntil our schools reopen,September is a month ofanticipation, relief andanxiety. It depends onwho you are (student, par-ent or teacher) and whereyou fall in the spectrum ofintroversion and extrover-sion.

An introverted childmay find new teachers,group activities and speak-ing out in class incrediblyuncomfortable and daunt-

ing. In fact, some parentschoose to homeschoolbecause of this.

Our place along thecontinuum of introversionand extroversion seems tobe a hardwired aspect ofpersonality and physiol-ogy. Although many aresomewhere between theextremes of introversionand extroversion, at leasta third of the people youknow are introverted.

If you’re introverted,you may prefer readinga book at home to goingout to a party. You need toreflect before you speak,and you may find socialinteractions with multiplepeople emotionally drain-ing. You need time aloneto recharge your batteries.

Extroverts, on the otherhand, thrive on socialinteraction and in fact areenergized by people. Theymay need to express them-

selves in order to figureout what they’re thinking.

In her bestseller, Quiet:the Power of Introverts ina World That Can’t StopTalking, Susan Cain out-lines the neuroscience,psychology and sociologythat explains the differenc-es and relative strengthsand gifts of introverts andextroverts.

She describes how ourwestern society is biasedtowards an extrovert ideal.We favour charismaticleaders, people who speakout and control meetings,and the gregarious andoutgoing.

Our classrooms andworkplaces often favourextroverts who feel morecomfortable working ingroups and shouting outthe answers to the teach-er’s questions.

Beautifully written andresearched, Cain’s book is

a must read for teachers,employers, parents andpartners of introverts. Itwill change the way yousee and value introverts,and if you’re an introvert,it will change how you seeyourself.

In workplaces with anopen office design withoutprivacy, more introvertedemployees will be moreuncomfortable and lessproductive.

If an organization relieson group brainstormingmeetings, they may nothear the creative insightsof the more introvertedwho do some of their bestwork alone.

In the classroom, groupactivities do not bring thebest out of more introvert-

ed students. The brightestare not always the first topress the buzzer.

Susan Cain’s bookoffers practical advice forintroverts on self-accep-tance and appreciation,understanding extrovertswith whom they liveand work, when to actmore extroverted, andthe importance of find-ing restorative niches torecharge themselves.

The marriage of anintrovert and extrovert canbe both challenging andrewarding. Extroverts maysay things they don’t meanand thrive on conflict;introverts can be more sen-sitive to their words.

Each partner needsto understand how the

other needs solitude orsocial engagement. Cainoffers insights to improvemutual understanding andhonouring one another’snatures.

Our society is enrichedby a variety of cultures,temperaments and per-sonalities. Introverts havegreat ideas, feelings andinsights to share, and withbetter understanding, wecan nurture their strengthsat school, at work and athome.

2015 Subaru Outback: explorer-style road-trips

This vehicle is not so much a desertexplorer as it is a denizen of therainforest. They should have called

it the Subaru Damp.For more than two decades, the

Outback has been a sort of anti-SUV, pro-viding all the capacity of a large wagonwith a little extra ground clearance, withthe side bonus of some sweet two-tonepaintwork. OK, so maybe that last partwas more questionable than attractive.Even with Forester sales doing verywell, the Outback is an important carfor Subaru, and now there’s a new one.Time to see if it’s fair dinkum, or a bit ofa dingo.

DesignIn the mid-2000s, the Legacy was

probably the best-looking Subaru thatthe company produced (admittedly, theyaren’t known for building beauties). Thecar that followed was somewhat chunky,but some of the svelte shape has comeback: the Outback’s a pretty handsome-looking rig up front.

The plastic trimmings around the baseof the car are all you get to indicate arugged nature – no more two-tone paint– and the raised suspension still doesn’t

make this car as tall as most crossovers.There are integrated, swing-out crossbarsfor carrying kayaks and the like, andthey’re actually reachable.

EnvironmentOn the inside, things get even less

Subaru-y, and that’s a good thing. In thecompany’s model hierarchy, the Outbackactually sits slightly above the Forester,something you can immediately tell assoon as you step into the interior.

The cabin trimmings are very nicelyfinished, with brushed metal or a matte-finish wood that’s very classy, and fit andfinish appear very good. It’s uncomplicat-ed but upscale, and there is a bit of thattwo-tone nature available: tan seats comewith black carpets so you don’t markthem up with muddy boots.

The front seats are quite comfort-able, and the rears have plenty of space.Subaru calls their sunroof panoramic,but it’s smaller than you’d find in olderOutbacks, although that does mean moreheadroom for rear passengers.

In the very back of the Outback,there’s a whacking great trunk, one thatcomes with all sorts of optional accesso-ries, including a divider so you can keepyour pooch from clambering over theseats. The space is approximately 75 cen-timetres tall and just over a metre wide

between the wheel-wells.

PerformanceTwo engines are on offer for the

Outback, either the ubiquitous 2.5L flat-four, or the smooth 3.6L flat-six. The lat-ter makes 256hp at 6000rpm, and nowcomes bolted to a continuously variabletransmission for a little more fuel econo-my and even smoother operation.

The 175hp 2.5i also gets bolted to aCVT except where Canadians are con-cerned – we have at least the option ofchoosing a six-speed manual. However,most Outbacks will leave the showroomwith the 2.5 and the CVT, so that’s how Idrove it.

It’s hard, at first, to believe that theOutback shares any DNA with the WRX

it’s likely parked beside in the show-room. This is a big, relatively heavy car(2,000kg), so 175 hp is just adequate interms of acceleration. If there’s a shortpassing space on a winding country road,it might not have quite enough gumptionto take advantage of a small gap.

What’s more, that raised suspensiondoes contribute to more than a bit of bodyroll, meaning that hustling the Outbackalong a curving road is a bit of a chore.Grip is plentiful and everything feels niceand safe, but this is not the Outback’snatural habitat.

Don’t be put off, this is a very amiablecar to drive. It simply favours a differentdriving style, the kind that has you pullover every second time you see a histori-

cal marker.It’s made for the explorer-style road-

trip, rather than hammering down thehighway to make time.

Speaking of the highway, here it isvery comfortable indeed, soaking upbumps with that soft suspension. There isa little more wind noise above 80 km/hthan expected, but it’s a much quieter carthan almost any other Subaru has been.The CVT keeps engine revs low, and youjust cruise on to your destination, gettingdecent fuel economy.

When you get there, should the lastfew miles be gravel or sand, the Outbackis as ridiculously capable as you’d expectfrom a Subaru. I drove it out throughdrifts of soft sand on the coast of Oregon,and it wasn’t fazed in the slightest.

FeaturesThe Outback is available with Subaru’s

new Starlink infotainment system, whichis just as intuitive as any other on themarket, and maybe even easier to use. Itworks with pinch-and-swipe gestures justlike a smartphone, and is easy to navigatethrough the various menus. You also geta small display in the instrument clusterwhich repeats navigation directions.

Also handy for exploration is the avail-ability of quad heated seats and plenty ofUSB and 12v power outlets for all sortsof mobile devices. There are enough cub-bies to more than adequately outfit yourexpedition.

The Outback has legs, too. Officialfuel economy ratings are at 9.4L/100 km

in-city and 7.1L/100 km highway, andreal-world testing saw figures in the mid-6L/100 km. With a 70L fuel tank, that’splenty of range for your adventures.

Green LightRoomy, comfortable interior; easy-to-

use navigation system; excellent off-roadability.

Stop SignModerate acceleration; no push-button

start except on top-trim models; powertailgate is a bit slow.

The Checkered FlagStill a proper adventure vessel from

Subaru, but you’re no longer roughing it.

STM corner JordanStewart picked off a TheoLanders pass and scoredon the return from 40 yardsout in the third quarter tosilence the Jugglers, whostarted the second halfwith an impressive driveinside the Knights’ 10.

But that long drive,helped out by a pass inter-ference penalty, stalled in

the red zone following agreat goal line stand by theKnights’ defensive line.

In the fourth quarter,DesLauriers caught a 26-yd. pass from Jana in theend zone after the ball wentin and out of the handsof a Jugglers defender.DesLauriers also hauled ina 13-yd. TD toss followinga fumble recovery off theensuing kickoff.

Despite the big scoringplays, most of the high-lights came on the defen-sive side of the line.

for a loss and fourquarterback sacks,while Janes wasalso active helpingout on seven stops.

“We’re fortunate wehave some big play athleteswho can help us out a bit,”said Knights head coachBernie Kully of the other-wise less than efficient startto the season.

“I definitely see poten-tial. We have some athletes,we have some size and wehave some toughness, andI like that,” said Kully. “Itold (the team) enjoy it fortonight and we wake uptomorrow with VancouverCollege.”

Simon Fraser University wom-en’s volleyball team swept an open-ing season four-game series againstnon-conference opposition at homethis weekend.

The varsity Clan blanked threeof the four opposition teams, whilegiving up just a single set to CanadaWest conference Thompson RiversUniversity last Friday.

SFU opened with a 25-17, 25-14,25-17 victory over Columbia BibleCollege on Sept. 4.

Devon May led the Clan with adozen kills and 11 digs.

“It was a fun game, we felt real-

ly prepared and it was exciting toget going,” said May in a preparedpress release.

Against TRU, SFU dropped thesecond set 25-19 before rallying 25-13, 25-15 to post the win.

Kelsey Robinson led the Clan with13 kills, while Amanda Renkemachipped in with 12 winners. Mayalso had double-digit kills and 17digs, as did Alison McKay.

On Saturday, SFU defeatedVancouver Island University instraight sets behind Renkema’s 10-kill effort. McKay kept the ball alivefor the home team with a game-high19 digs.

The Clan closed out weekend witha 3-0 win over Capilano University

later in the day.Robinson topped the Clan with

12 kills. McKay had 10 digs andBrooklyn Gould-Bradbury posted 23assists.

“I think it was a great way toprepare for the next tourney,” saidSFU head coach Gina Schmidt in therelease.

“It’s tough to play four matchesin three days and we stayed focused.I was happy with our ball controland defence, which helped us runthe things well offensively.”

Next week, the Clan will travel toCalifornia to play in another non-con-ference tournament against FresnoPacific, Chaminade, Dominican andthe Academy of Art.


Clan men open soccer season with win; women fall to Hilo

Simon Fraser University opened its var-sity men’s soccer season with a shutoutvictory over Sonoma State.

The varsity Clan scored three times inan 11-minute span midway through thefirst half to defeat the visiting Seawolves3-0 in a non-conference match at Terry FoxField on Sept. 4.

sisted solo effort.Niko Schroettle tallied his first goal for

the Clan, tipping in a Jovan Blagojevic freekick in the 27th minute.

“The first game is normally one ofthe tougher games you play because youdon’t know what you’re going to get fromyour own group and it’s tough to get agood scout on the team you’re playingagainst,” said SFU head coach Alan Kochin a school press release. “We scheduled agame against a tough team and they madeit difficult for us. We’re obviously veryhappy to get a positive result.”

Sophomore keeper Brandon Watsonearned his shutout, stopping a late first-half penalty kick.

“It’s good to get the win and I thoughtwe played well,” said Watson in therelease. “Last year, we struggled a bit atthe start to get a clean sheet, but I thinkwe are a little more sound defensively thisyear with a strong returning group fromlast season and obviously it showed onthe field.

The SFU women’s soccer team droppedits non-conference season opener 1-0 tovisiting Hawaii Hilo Vulcans at Terry Fox

Danae Harding leadsthe women’s team withthree goals in three games,while Marni McMillan andNicolle Fraser contributedtwo and one goal, respect-ively.

“The results have beengood in terms of buildingconfidence and buildinga belief the team can winweek in and week out, butthe performances have beenless than stellar,” said first-

year Royals coach ChrisLaxton, who took over thejob in April.

But with eight new play-ers on board, five of whomstarted on opening day,the short-term future looksbright for the Royals.

“There has been no lackof effort, … and spells ofreally excellent soccer,”added Laxton. “But it’searly, and if we’re playingour best (now), we’re introuble.”

Laxton is committed toplaying a possession gamewith the object of playingattacking football. But atthe end of the day, it’s allabout playing intelligentsoccer and taking advan-tage of the situation on thepitch, Laxton added.

“I want smart players,”he said.

It’s going to be another competitiveconference season, predicts the GrandviewSteelers junior B hockey coach.

“I think it’s going to be a competi-tive league, for sure,” said Grandviewhead coach and general manager AldoBruno, whose Burnaby Winter Club-basedSteelers play in the tight Tom Shaw con-ference. “It’s going to be hard to make aplayoff spot. It’s going to be tough.”

The Steelers ended the exhibition sea-son with a 9-5 win in Abbotsford lastThursday and a 5-3 loss to the Pilots athome on Sunday.

Like the start to every regular season,waiting for players to return from majorjunior and junior A trial camps makes ageneral manager’s job challenging, Brunosaid.

“Our defence is going to be our strength.We’re really big in the back end, but we’re

a faster team, for sure,” he said.Bruno is counting on winter club prod-

ucts Austin Campeau, Cameron Ginnettiand Alexander Rasovic, currently tryingout with the Coquitlam Express of theB.C. Hockey League, to step in on defence,while rookies Braedan Gurney, Nico Brunoand Ian Prevost of Burnaby will be expect-ed to add pace up front.

The Steelers also signed D-man JordanHenderson, who is presently trying outwith the Spokane Chiefs of the WesternHockey League.

Cole MacInnes returns in goal this sea-son for the Steelers.

“You want to be healthy and get a goodstart,” Bruno said, adding finding consist-ency with more than a dozen new faces isalways a challenge.

The Steelers open this Thursday inRichmond. Faceoff is at 7 p.m.

Grandview hosts the Port MoodyPanthers in its home opener at the BurnabyWinter Club on Sunday, Sept. 14 at 4 p.m.
