There’s nothing like a measles outbreak linked to Disneyland visitors to boost interest in vaccinations.
Recent media coverage in which the California theme park has cautioned people to be immunized before their visits has led to an increase in calls to public health units seeking appointments
for measles-mumps-rubella vaccinations, said Fraser Health Authority spokesperson Tasleem Juma. That wasn’t the case last year when a measles outbreak hit closer to home in the Fraser Valley.
Juma suggested people may have figured last year’s event was nothing to worry about as long as they didn’t travel to that region.
“This is a really good reminder also about how small our world
really is. And with so much international travel, you will go to Disney and you will have your
holiday, but there are people from all over the world who are coming there as well.”
But that scenario can happen just as easily here at home
in Burnaby or New Westminster, Juma stressed. People come to Greater Vancouver from elsewhere who are potentially carrying viruses.
“That’s how these viruses spread
very quickly because they’re brought into the community. What happened last year is that somebody travelled abroad and brought it back with them. And then because of low immunization rates in the community it spread very quickly.”
Fraser Health’s most recent statistics have only 60.3 per cent of Burnaby residents aged two and under up to date with all their required vaccinations as of the end of March 2013.
A year later it was 58.2 per cent.

Kinder Morgan drops lawsuit One defendant vows to fight on
Kinder Morgan is dropping its lawsuit against several people protesting its recent pipeline study work on Burnaby Mountain, but at least one defendant plans to continue his fight.
The company is proposing to almost triple capacity of its Trans Mountain pipeline between Edmonton and Burnaby.
In November and December it ran into opposition from protesters as it tried to drill into Burnaby Mountain as part of geotechnical study work to determine if the pipeline could be routed through it in a tunnel.
In response, the company filed a civil lawsuit against five named defendants—Adam Gold, Mia Nissen, Stephen Collis, Lynne Quarmby, and Alan Dutton—seeking damages it estimated at more than $5 million per month of delay.

In December, the company said in a press release Friday, Trans Mountain offered to discontinue the lawsuit.
“There was no financial incentive offered other than the commitment that Trans Mountain wouldn’t seek court costs. Two of the five defendants agreed.”
“In the interest of conciliation, providing certainty for all involved,” the company said, it has filed a unilateral discontinuance which does
not require agreement from the defendants. “It does mean that Trans Mountain could be responsible for court costs, which the company is willing to pay, in order to demonstrate, without any doubt that it has no intention of pursuing civil action in this case.”
The move is delivering on a promise made by Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Anderson not to pursue the lawsuit, the release said.
“Even though damages were suffered by the company as a result of the protests
that occurred on Burnaby Mountain, Trans Mountain has maintained that it will not pursue compensation for these damages.”
While relieved, defendant Alan Dutton has no plans to go quietly.
A few weeks ago he went to B.C. Supreme Court in an attempt to have the lawsuit dismissed but was unsuccessful.
“We were expecting them to settle and they’ve done so,” Dutton said Friday.
“There’s still some outstanding issues and we have to explore them with my legal team but in my view the issue is not settled.”
Dutton said his lawyers will be looking into the matter of recovering his legal costs and being compensated for damage to his reputation and loss of his time dealing with the matter.
“We have tens of thousands of dollars spent defending ourselves in court and Kinder Morgan is just not going to get away with this kind of action,” he said.
“I’m just happy, though, that Kinder Morgan realizes the publicity nightmare that they’ve caused for themselves. I’m glad they’ve taken this course of action and perhaps it’ll slow them
down in the next phase as they approach their application to the [National Energy Board].”
Dutton said he’ll continue his campaign seeking provincial legislation to prevent SLAPP (strategic lawsuit against public participation) lawsuits, those designed to intimidate opposition into silence, which he claims this suit was intended to be.
For now, the end of the lawsuit means he can breathe easier.
“I’m actually quite happy but there’s still a long way to go yet.”

A day for the pets and the vetsIn just one day, Burnaby and Surrey animal hospitals performed more than 40 free surgeries to help local sheltersBoaz JosephBlack Press
More than 40 homeless animals got a boost with free surgery on Sunday, courtesy of two Lower Mainland veterinary clinics.
On Jan. 25, during Vets in Action Day, staff and volunteers at Surrey’s Kennedy Heights Animal and Bird Hospital and Burnaby Veterinary Hospital closed their doors to regular patients and performed, at their own time and expense, surgery on 40 furry patients.
The dogs and cats, in the care of local shelters and waiting for adoption, were spayed, neutered, and had dental work and other minor procedures.
“Vets in Action Day started with the idea of creating a day when the businesses and people in the veterinary industry could give back to their local communities,” said Burnaby veterinarian Dr. Claudia Richter, who ran the program
starting last year.The animals were brought to the clinics
from both the SPCA and other animal shelters in the Lower Mainland.
Last year, Vets in Action performed 25
surgeries, at no cost, and raised more than $1,500 for the BC SPCA.
This year, Kennedy Heights Animal Hospital joined in and added an extra 11 animals to the list – eight cats (six dental
surgeries, two spay/neuters) and three dogs (all spay/neuters.)
“The idea is that each of us every year will try to get another clinic involved,” said owner Dr. Linda Schild, who volunteered her time with three other veterinarians at her clinic (two from other offices) and a dozen other assistants and specialists.
“We can’t begin to express how grateful we are to Dr. Claudia Richter, Dr. Linda Schild and their teams at Burnaby Veterinary Hospital and Kennedy Heights Animal Hospital for organizing Vets in Action day, and to everyone who is volunteering to help,” said BC SPCA Burnaby Branch manager Ryan Voutilainen.
Voutilainen said the day’s surgeries at both clinics helped the BC SPCA save about $20,000 in surgical costs, which are about $1 million per year provincewide.
“We rely entirely upon community support to carry out our services and programs, so this kind of event allows us to
help even more animals.”Fundraising continues at www.

There’s nothing like instant feedback to figure you’re on the right track.
Grade 3 student Natalie White definitely got that with one of her first orders of business as principal-for-a-day at Gilmore elementary last Friday.
That morning White announced over the PA system that, as their principal, she was adding an extra 10-minute recess that afternoon.
The response?“Clapping,” she
recalled with a smile. “Recess is one of
my favourite times of school,” she explained of her decision.
It’s a move that has been made on similar occasions at the North Burnaby school in the past, she noted. The eight-year-old won the coveted title through a draw at a fundraiser last fall.
Most of White’s day was spent hanging out with regular principal Dennis Taylor in the school office, broken up by visits to all the classrooms, and helping supervise the morning recess.
What did she learn about the job?
“That you have to sign a lot of things.”
She even decided that if she had the job on a permanent basis, “I’d probably make lunch a little longer because sometimes I don’t have enough time to eat everything.”
But she’s realistic and knows that’s not in the cards. After all, she even came prepared for the day with a retirement speech that ended with, “thank you for your understanding.”
Taylor said it’s a fun day for everyone at the school.
“I think the value of it is they see I try to help kids and problem solve and I’m not the mean old dastardly principal like some people think,” he said with a smile.
White certainly
enjoyed her status as the bringer of joy to her schoolmates, who bubbled with excitement as they streamed out of the building when recess No. 2 got underway.
One girl ran up to her, saying breathlessly, “Natalie, all I have to say is thank you!”
Another, noticing the safety vest she wore out on the playground, said, “Are you the
principal? Thank you for the recess!”
Of course, following the rule that there’s always a wisecracker in the crowd, a boy shouted, “You should’ve made it a pro-D day!”
In the end, White got a taste of the principal’s real job when she responded to a boy’s complaint that another boy was blocking the slide. She
had a word with the errant student, who moved on out of the way.
Such is the clout of the school principal.
“I felt good inside that people enjoyed what I did and to change the day a little bit,” White said beaming.
Then she ran off to ring the bell signaling recess was over.

I like to watch Sports Centre before I go to bed, so I can get the up-to-date scores, standings and highlights of the day. All I want is some mindless entertainment to send me off to sleep.
The other night I turned it on and the first story was about Canadian tennis player Eugenie Bouchard being asked by a male reporter to twirl around in her cute pink tennis outfit.
Supposedly some folks think these outfits are a sexist ploy to get men to watch women’s tennis.
The next story was about the New England Patriots using deflated balls in their playoff game.
Supposedly, in cold weather, the under-inflated ball is easier to pass, catch and kick.
Fifteen minutes into the show and I hadn’t seen one score or anyone knocked down. But I did form some opinions.
The New England quarterback has been playing football at some level since he was seven years old and yet he says he never noticed
a difference in the weight of the ball.
That’s like Sidney Crosby saying he didn’t notice his stick was two feet shorter.
That ball is his life, I was surprised his expensive designer jeans didn’t catch on fire.
Their coach says he was too busy coaching the game and he leaves those details to his equipment staff.
So it looks like the least paid, most expendable guy on the team, the equipment guy, is going to get the blame. But I think I can defend him.
Many times my kids would run to me and ask me to inflate a football or soccer ball. I would get the pump and then start looking for the little inflation needle to stick in the ball.
I would rummage through my shop, my garage, the tool box in the car and the drawer in the microwave stand.
Eventually, out of frustration, I would jump in the truck and drive to the local hardware store and buy another one.
I would inflate the ball, even though the kids had moved on to something else, and leave the needle in the pump for next time.
But like socks in the dryer, it always disappeared.
Now let’s go to that stadium a half hour before the game.
The equipment guy is scrambling trying to find his inflation needle, tearing the equipment room apart.
No use thinking about a run to the hardware store because everyone in town is either at the game or at home watching it on TV.
The kickoff nears and he thinks, “The coach will be too busy coaching and that dumb jock wouldn’t notice if I handed him a watermelon.”
So maybe everyone is telling
the truth. It was an innocent accident
after all. The fact that there is millions
of dollars at stake probably isn’t even an issue.
As for the twirling controversy, if they want men to watch women’s tennis, they have to leave them in the skimpy outfits but they have to remove the nets.
When one girl gets the tennis ball, she has to run the full length of the court then toss the ball into a little basket or fire it into a goal while the other girl tries to tackle her.
Then men will watch women’s tennis.
Just give me the scores and show me the highlights.
At 11 p.m., I shouldn’t be asked to settle controversies for millionaires.

The move to lower the Bank of Canada’s key lending rate by 0.25 per cent last month caught most observers and analysts by surprise.
The move means that interest rates will be lower for almost all loans. While that can be a good thing for people with variable rate mortgages, lines of credit or about to renew their mortgages, it also may encourage people to take on more debt.
For most Canadians, and particularly for younger people who own their own homes in this part of B.C., that can be a very bad move.
The Metro Vancouver area has the second most unaffordable housing in the world, based on household income—surpassed only by Hong Kong.
While the highest and most outrageous prices are in Vancouver, West Vancouver and Richmond, due at least in part to offshore investors parking their money in what they perceive as a very safe environment, the ripple effect of this activity has boosted prices in all regions of Metro Vancouver.
It has driven many people farther and farther from their jobs, as they attempt to find something they can afford.
The result of all this is that younger first-time buyers have taken on enormous amounts of debt to service their mortgages. Because of this borrowing, they often have taken out other loans to meet other expenses, such as auto loans or payday loans.
The average Canadian debt level is over 160 per cent, meaning that people owe over $1.60 for every dollar that they make.
Lower interest rates will likely be beneficial to the larger Canadian economy, but people who already have high levels of debt should take advantage of them primarily to reduce their interest rates (and hopefully pay off their debts more quickly) — not to borrow even more money.

COMMENTAccidents beget accidents
I am writing to voice a great concern with regard to road accidents.
I have noticed that whenever a road accident occurs, the crew sent to clear the debris, glass, etc. efficiently get rid of the said materials in very quick time.
That said, I am very bewildered over the way one aspect of this is done.
While debris, glass, etc. that are in the middle of the road are swept up and placed into dustbins on the cleaning truck, the same cannot be said of the glass pieces found near a curb.
Instead, I have on several occasions found these placed on the grass next to the sidewalk.
This is a very dangerous act as upon walking my dog, I noticed them and hope that my dog did not step on them and get any lodged in her paws. It would be prudent for city crews to go one step further and deposit the glass shards into the same dustbins they carry on their trucks.
If they can do that for glass in the middle of the road, why not the glass near the curb or sidewalk?
I find this shoddy cleaning. If they didn’t want to throw away broken glass near the kerb, I would rather they left it on the road so that it could be seen more clearly by pedestrians, who can better avoid it.
I am rather incensed by this after walking my dog last
week and found yet again glass fragments on the southeast corner of Nelson and Dover (this is a hot spot for accidents). Plus, this is one of the entrances to a primary school and this past summer, I stepped on glass shards in flip flops.
I dread to imagine what would have happened if a child accidentally fell on those shards!

some ideas for mr. harper
To the Right Honourable Stephen Harper:
Knowing as I do that your party is as bankrupt of new ideas as your provincial cousins, the B.C. Liberals, (it’s all resource exportation and mega projects with you two) I want to offer you an idea.
I appreciate that Canada Post is a Crown corporation and
is operated at “arm’s length” from your government, however your government just appointed Ms. Siân M. Matthews as the chairperson of Canada Post and she may be open to “suggestion.”
Please tell her that you want an increase, not a decrease, in postal service.
Tell Ms. Matthews that you want door-to-door service stepped up.
You want this not just for seniors, shut-ins, and people in remote parts of Canada who depend on mail delivery; you want it to assist small and medium-sized businesses that must compete with multi-national conglomerates when it comes to Internet retail and product delivery.
You could call it an “essential service,” the sort that federal governments ought to provide.
The data only includes those children whose vaccinations were reported to Fraser Health. Burnaby families who may have received their shots in Vancouver would not be included, Juma noted.
Vaccinations are scheduled at ages two, four, six, 12 and 18 months. Provincewide, that age group sees a vaccination rate of 60 to 70 per cent, a figure the provincial government wants to reach 80 per cent by 2023.
She said it’s not believed the low vaccination rate is due to parents who don’t believe in immunizations—those who avoid them due to claims, since scientifically disproven, that they could lead to conditions
such as autism.Rather, it’s something that
slips their minds at a busy time of transition in their lives. Juma noted that the rate of vaccinations for babies two months or younger is 94 per cent.
But at 12 and 18 months, the children are due for those rounds of shots at the same time as many parents are returning to work from maternity leave.
To address that, Immunize BC now has apps that people can download to send them reminders of when the next immunizations are due.
Adults who haven’t been vaccinated since elementary school also might need
booster shots (see http://bit.ly/1yx2QLy). In the case of measles, those born before 1970 are assumed to have already had the disease and so are immune.
But anyone in that age group who has not had the measles or are in doubt are encouraged to be vaccinated, said Juma. There is no harm to getting the shot even if that immunity already exists.
For now, anyone who is travelling soon is being prioritized to get their vaccinations at public health clinics. The measles vaccination is also available at travel clinics and family physician offices, and at pharmacies for anyone over age five.

Burnaby firefighters are heading to mediation with the City of Burnaby this week in an attempt to reach a settlement for their latest contract.
The firefighters are now entering their fourth year without a collective agreement while more than 10 locals in B.C. have already reached settlements with their municipalities, said Rob Lamoureux, president of the Burnaby Firefighters Association local 323.
Lamoureux said the City of Delta got the ball rolling last April when they became the first Lower Mainland municipality to reach an agreement with their firefighters.
Theirs was an eight-year deal with wage increases of 2.5 per cent a year.
The wage hike pattern has been followed in other cities since, including Surrey, West Vancouver, Vancouver and Abbotsford.
“Term hasn’t been a sticking point for us,” said Lamoureux, but the wage increase received by counterparts in other cities is. “We don’t want anything more and we’re not going to settle for anything less.”
With negotiations stalled, the firefighters and Burnaby will enter mediation on Feb. 4 and 5.
“I’m looking forward to getting a third party to come in,” he said. “Sometimes its better when you have someone from the outside looking in and I’m hoping with the assistance of a mediator that we can get to a fair and reasonable settlement.”
Lambert Chu, a deputy city manager for Burnaby, declined to get into specifics about the negotiations.
But he said by email that it’s not as simple as copying what other cities have agreed to.
“Every fire department has its own unique contract with respect to benefits, conditions
and languages and therefore the contract settled in Surrey for example cannot be used as the template for Burnaby,”
Chu said. “However, the general wage settlements reached by other fire departments do provide
an overarching framework for those who are still in the negotiation stage. In addition to wages, there are also other components in the contract that are parts of the negotiation package.”
It’s also not unusual for the contracts to be settled retroactively.
“We are hoping through the mediation process, both the City and the Union will be able to move towards a final agreement,” Chu said. The negotiation for the new contract was initiated by the Union and the City in February 2014 following the conclusion of the contract negotiation for 2010/11 in December 2012.”

Truckers cut out of system
More than 600 container truckers say they’re effectively out of a job because they’ve been barred from loading at Port Metro Vancouver terminals under a new licensing system. The reforms, devised by the port and the provincial and federal governments, aimed to control the hyper-competitive industry by reducing the number of port access licences. It’s intended to end rampant undercutting on rates that has been the trigger for labour unrest in the past, including a month-long strike last year.
But there have been casualties and exactly who they are became clear last week. The survivors announced by Port Metro Vancouver are 68 companies with 1,450 trucks, while another several hundred trucks with 84 other firms that previously hauled containers in and out of the port are cut out of the new system.

FC Barcelona is one of the most renowned soccer clubs in the world.
This summer local youth players will be able to get a taste of the team’s sporting culture and values at the FC Barcelona Summer Camp at Burnaby’s Fortius Sport & Health.
The camp, for boys and girls between 6 and 17 years old, will be held July 6-10.
Players will be exposed to the same training that is taught at the FC Barcelona Academy. That’s the academy that produced star footballers like Lionel Messi, Andrés Iniesta and Xavi Hernandez. Seven graduates from the academy were on Spain’s World Cup Champion side in 2010.
“To align ourselves with the strength and global brand that is FC Barcelona is a huge win for us,” said Fortius CEO and president Craig Thompson.
Each of the twice daily training sessions is limited to 72 athletes, with 10-12 of them assigned to each coach. Goalkeepers will also get their own specific sessions.
Players will get theory and tactical trainings, as well as daily competitions.
The top two players who best exemplify FC Barcelona’s values of respect, tolerance, fair play and effort, will be awarded a chance to train at the FCB Escola in Barcelona.
The Burnaby camp is one of 17 being conducted across Canada. For more information go to www.fcbcanada.com.

Hospitals in Fraser Health remain severely congested despite the launch of a new strategy last year to improve patient flow, according to the authority’s latest statistics.
Less than 39 per cent of the region’s emergency patients last year were admitted to hospital within 10 hours – far below a provincial target of 55 per cent – suggesting hallway medicine remains rampant in ERs.
The numbers were worst at Langley and Delta hospitals (both at 29 per cent), Peace Arch (31 per cent), Mission Memorial (32 per cent), and Surrey Memorial and Chilliwack General (both at 32 per cent.) That means more than two-thirds of ER patients in all those hospitals typically waited longer than 10 hours for a bed.
Other key capacity indicators in the health region’s newly released monthly report card show hospitals across the region are also struggling to meet targets to limit the average length of patient stay, the number of patients staying more than 30 days and the proportion of patients who could instead be treated at home or in other settings instead of hospital.
Fraser Health board chair Karen Matty said ERs are jammed right now from the annual winter surge,
mainly due to large numbers of patients arriving sick from the flu.
“You don’t build an airport for the Christmas rush and you don’t build a hospital for the flu season,” Matty said in an interview. “The airlines get to say ‘We’re sold out.’ But we can’t turn patients away.”
Matty said she’s confident Fraser will soon see good results from its new strategic and operational plan, which was completed last year after a review ordered by Health Minister Terry Lake.
“We’ve turned the ship in my view,” she said. “We’re on a very positive road to try to shift services to the community.”
The plan aims to find new ways to decongest hospitals by providing more services at home or in community settings, and also by preventative medicine to limit chronic disease rates as the population ages.
As more capacity comes on line outside hospitals, it’s hoped there will be fewer people in hospital who don’t need to be occupying a bed, clogging the flow of incoming patients.
Matty said there’s a “huge” effort underway to work to ensure more residents across the region have a family doctor where they can get much treatment.
Hospitals jammed but Fraser Health predicts progress
