KinderMorgan is conducting a thoroughsecurity review of the
Westridge MarineTerminal after the facility was seized byGreenpeace
activists Wednesday.
Spokesman Andrew Galarnyk said thereview will determine how 16
Greenpeaceactivists managed to get inside the site and
chain themselves to the terminalsequipment and front gate.
We are assessing the incidentand the security measures that
arein place, said Galarnyk. Wereconducting a thorough
investiga-tion of the entire incident.
Galarnyk refused to speculateon how the Greenpeace
activistsmanaged to access to the terminal, sayingits too early to
tell.
The Greenpeace protesters remained onthe site for about 12
hours, from dawn todusk Wednesday. In addition to
chainingthemselves to the terminals front gate andits pumping
mechanisms, they dangled
from ropes to unfurl banners andpaint the storage tanks.
Greenpeace B.C. directorStephanie Goodwin said the activ-ists
agreed to leave voluntarilyafter discussions with the RCMP.They
were escorted off the site,questioned and released. Nocharges have
been laid to this
point and Goodwin is hopeful none willbe.
RCMP spokesman Sgt. Peter Thiessensaid the investigation is
ongoing, and itstoo early to say whether any charges willbe
laid.
The protesters may face legal action
from Kinder Morgan. Galarnyk said thecompany is weighing its
legal options. Buthe added that safety was the prime concernduring
the incident.
Certainly, we were concerned aboutthe safety of the protesters,
the safety of ourstaff and the community, he said. Werehappy it
ended peacefully.
Galarnyk said Kinder Morgan is con-ducting a thorough survey of
the site toensure there is no damage. He said thereappears to be
none.
The Greenpeace action was timed tocoincide with Wednesdays

Burnaby residents posedfor pictures, waved signs andeven
delivered doughnuts tothe Greenpeace activists whooccupied the
Westridge MarineTerminal on Wednesday.
A number of local residentscame out to show their supportfor the
demonstrators who werechained to the front gate and inother areas
inside the terminal.
Hartwig Boecking, a 25-yearresident, applauded the protest.
I support this in many ways,he said.
You dont have to be an envi-ronmentalist to be in favour.
Another protester arrived
wearing a large yellow sign read-ing: Clean water is worth
moreto us than dirty oil.
The man, who would not givehis name, said he was a
formerdog-walker and that all six of hisdogs had died of a form of
cancer,which he blames on the toxinshe says are issuing from the
ter-minal.
These people, he said, point-ing to the two protesters chainedto
the gate, are the bravest soulsout here.
Alan Dutton of BurnabyResidents Opposing KinderMorgan Expansion
(BROKE) saidtheres a mixed reaction to theGreenpeace action.
While many have expressedsupport, others are cynical about
the long-term effect, said Dutton.I am optimistic, however,
thatthe Greenpeace demonstrationwill not only raise public
aware-ness about the multiple dangers ofshipping and storing oil in
majorcities it will stimulate debate aboutthe most effective ways
to opposebuilding a new larger pipeline,more than doubling oil
storagecapacity on Burnaby Mountainand dramatically increasing
tank-er traffic through Second Narrowsand Vancouver Harbour.
Greenpeace B.C. directorStephanie Goodwin said the activ-ists
were grateful for the support.
It was great, she said. Wealso heard from them that theywant
more information and moreinput into this issue.

opened a new session ofParliament, the federal govern-ment
renewed its vow to expandpipelines from Alberta to thePacific
through B.C. to get tarsands oil to Asian markets.
Greenpeace spokesman PeterLouwe said Greenpeace deliber-ately
planned the date so it didnot coincide with a tanker loadingat the
terminal.
We deliberately went in whenthere wasnt a loading tankerbecause
that might have been
dangerous, said Louwe. Thepurpose was to make a point, andsend a
message to the prime min-ister and premier that we have tomove away
from dirty oil, and weaccomplished that.
Keith Stewart was one of twoactivists who chained themselvesto
the terminals front gate. Hesaid he and his partner had notrouble
accomplishing their partof the action.
I cant speak for those inside,but no one challenged us,
hesaid.
Tsleil-Waututh elder AmyGeorge was at the terminals frontgate to
support the protesters.Although not chained to the gate,she sat
beside them, telling report-ers she will do all she can to stopthe
pipeline expansion project.
I think its wonderful, and Iwant to thank Greenpeace,
saidGeorge, 72.
Im here to stand up for mypeople and for all the people inthe
Vancouver area.
The facility is the terminus ofthe Trans Mountain pipeline
that
carries bitumen from northernAlberta across B.C. for
shipmentoverseas. In Burnaby, the projectwould see the number of
tankersthat can dock at the terminal tri-ple to three. Tanker
traffic wouldjump to 400 a year.
The scheme would see thenumber of tanks at the Burnabystorage
terminal double, with14 new storage tanks installed.That would add
another 3.9 mil-lion barrels of oil to the facilityscapacity.
Currently, the terminalcan hold 1.6 million barrels.
The Kinder Morgan TransMountain Expansion Project is
a$5.4-billion undertaking that wouldtwin the existing
1,150-kilometrepipeline between StrathconaCounty (near Edmonton)
andBurnaby, if approved.
THE BIG PICTUREBarrels per day: Would nearlytriple, from 300,000
barrels per dayto 890,000 barrels per day.Size of pipe: 36
inches.Pumping Stations: Jumps by11 to a total of 35.Whats in it:
The existing linewould pump refined products,synthetic crude oils
and lightcrude oils. The proposed new linewould carry heavier oils,
includingbitumen.
WHATS HAPPENING INBURNABY
More storage tanks: The num-ber of tanks at the Burnaby stor-age
terminal would double, with 14new storage tanks installed.
Thatwould add another 3.9 million bar-rels of oil to the facilitys
capacity.Currently, the terminal can hold 1.6million barrels.More
tankers at the dock:The number of tankers that coulddock at the
Westbridge MarineTerminal would triple to three. Anew vapour
recovery and re-injec-tion system to help control emis-sions would
also be built.More tankers in BurrardInlet: The number of
tankerswould increase dramatically fromabout 60 a year to over 400
a yearif the project is approved.Who has the final say? TheNational
Energy Board will reviewthe project and make a recom-mendation to
the federal cabinet.Prime Minister Stephen Harperand his cabinet
will have the finalsay on whether the project isapproved or
not.

TransLink is under fireonce again, after an easyfare evasion
tactic was dis-covered with the CompassCard before its
rollout.However, Burnaby MayorDerek Corrigan said hesnot surprised
that the cardhas been riddled with con-troversy.
The Compass Card andits fare gate system, whichwere brought in
to dealwith fare evasion, have aloophole for riders to avoidpaying
for all zones andTransLink has said it wasaware of the potential
forit.
Ive been warningabout these problems wellbefore they started
institut-ing them,Corrigan told theBurnaby NOW. It doesntsurprise
me. I imaginemany, many other ways forpeople who are determinedto
avoid fares will find away to evade them.
The Compass Card wasrecently embroiled in con-troversy when the
projected$171 million cost to imple-ment the system increasedby $23
million.
And thats just the tipof the iceberg, because theyburied as much
of thoseexpenses as possible. Itdoesnt count the reno-vation at
Metrotown orBroadway, Corrigan said.
The other issue is futuremaintenance costs, whichCorrigan says
will be exor-bitant seeing as how thegates will be worn out
rap-idly with use.
One of the most expen-sive things to build in a sys-tem is to
maintain it. Withthe panels, the abuse theyllbe taking will
breakdown regularly. Will theyhave staff out at those loca-tions
all the time?What willthey do when they breakdown? How do people
getthrough? Will they sendstaff out to open and closethe gates or
do it automati-cally from a central office?Will the gates open
whentheyre broken?
Corrigan said it comes
down to political pressurethat started with the pro-vincial
government.
The (then) Minister ofTransportationKevinFalconwent on holiday
to Londonwith his future wife, andthey pointed out having thefare
gates in the Londonsystem, he said. Theythen gathered up the
con-tribution of federal dollarsand then pushed TransLinkinto doing
it despite the factthey werent able to pro-duce any business case
tojustify it.
Corrigan said compar-ing a city with eight millionpeople when
about 75 percent use the transit system,to a city with two
millionwith 14 per cent using tran-sit shows the economicsdont make
sense when thesmaller city tries to imple-ment the same system.
Its one of those situ-ations where people real-ly pandered to
the publicabout finding a solution tofare evasion knowing fullwell
that wasnt going tohappen, he added.
It was politically expe-dited to get a solution,
butrealistically youre nevergoing to solve the problem.Its $20
million more a yearto chase after a $5-million-a-year problem,
which makesno economic sense at all.
However, TransLinksMike Madill, vice-presidentof enterprise
initiatives,told the NOW the author-ity is taking a
multi-facetedapproach to reduce fareevasion.
We think that theCompass Card is going tohelp us reduce the
amountof fare evasion, he said in aphone interview. We dontwant to
talk about meth-
ods people might (use to)cheat the system. Theresno system thats
a perfectsystem.
Madill said all TransLinkreally wants is people topay and the
vast majoritydoes.
We want everybodyelse to pay their fares too,he added.
The extra $23 millioncost, Madill said, camefrom inflation,
extra projectmanagement charges andsystem changes as the origi-nal
budget was drafted in2009.
Its a long-term invest-ment,hesaidwhenasked ifadding more
Transit Policewould have been cheaper.A lot of our equipmentis
nearing the end of itslife. Current fare equipmentwas needed, and
we had tomake an investment in newequipment anyway.
Through the CompassCards beta testing, otherissues were
highlightedsuch as the noise readerbeing too low in volume,unable
to read the screenin bright sunlight and themachine being slow in
rec-ognizing the card, Madillsaid.
Were looking to tweakthat, he added. Im com-fortable by the time
the gatesystem goes into full oper-ating mode well have thatall
sorted out.
The Compass Cards willbe fully rolled out in spring2014.
As for Corrigan, he saidthe whole process has
beenfrustrating.
Its not worth payingall that money when I knowpeople are
determined toevade fares. They will finda way around the
system.

Each homeless personhas his or her own lifecircumstance that led
tohomelessness. It could be any-thing from employment loss
orgeneral economic downturn tofire, illness, physical
disability,family breakdown,abuse, mental illness,or drug
addiction.
Homelessnesscan happen to anyone regard-less of income, status,
education,lifestyle, age, race or gender.The faces of homelessness
arediverse.
Few people realize that some80 per cent of homeless peopledont
even live on the street.Theyre known as the invisiblehomeless.
These are people wholive in their cars, in church base-ments, in
temporary shelters,or on the floors and couches offriends and
family.
A home is more than just aroof that keeps you dry it isa place
of safety, nourishment,refuge, comfort and dignity. Asafe and
stable home is neces-sary for food security,
health,self-sufficiency and positiverelationships with others.
Homemakes a healthy and productivelife possible.
Im incredibly proud toserve as chair of the GreaterVancouver
regional steeringcommittee on homelessness,which organizes
HomelessnessAction Week (Oct. 13 to 19) eachyear, along with
hundreds ofvolunteers, to engage our resi-
dents in homelessness and itssolutions.
We believe the solution is tostart with home providingsecure,
permanent housing topersons without it. Once peopleare securely
housed, the sup-
port services that maybe required to maintaintheir housing
becomemuch more effective in
helping them to permanentlyend their homelessness. Weknow this
has proven effectivein other cities in Canada.
Who needs help the most?Weve found that seniors,youth, families
and aboriginalpeoples are over-representedin the homeless
population.In the 2011 Metro VancouverHomeless Count, 27 per cent
ofthe surveyed homeless popula-tion was of aboriginal ancestry a
figure that has varied onlyslightly since 2005. During thatsame
count, 397 youth underthe age of 25 were found to behomeless, a
full quarter of themhomeless for more than a year.And we
encountered the highestever number of homeless fami-lies: 56 in
total with 54 children.Further, it was alarming to findthat the
number of homelessseniors (age 65 and up) tripledfrom 2002 to
2011.
We need to do better.The steering committee brings
together the regions leadingorganizations, government agen-cies,

A right to live must also include a right to dieLast week, the
B.C. Court of Appeal
ruled that Canadas laws against assistedsuicide are
constitutional.
They may very well be, but it doesnot make them just.
The governments argu-ment in appealing a lowercourt ruling that
struck the lawdown was that assisted suicidewould demean the value
of life andopen up vulnerable people to risk ofabuse.
Laws against assisted suicide have
their origins in early Catholic Churchdoctrine. Several church
groupsappeared as interveners during theappeal.
For some who have watched a lovedone die slowly and in agonywith
no hope of respite, letalone recovery, law and doc-trine are
impossible to accept.
A law that forces people to live inprogressively worse pain as
their dignitydwindles away until they inevitably diedemeans
life.
The practice is no longer outlawedin some more progressive
jurisdictions,where rigorous fail-safes are in placeto make sure no
one ever goes throughwith it unless they are of sound mind.
To be clear: We are not advocatingassisted suicide as some form
of state-sponsored solution to severe depres-sion or as one of a
series of treatmentoptions.
We stand with Chief Justice LanceFinch, who, in his dissenting
opinion,said: The point at which the meaning
of life is lost, when lifes positive attri-butes are so
diminished as to render lifevalueless, when suffering overwhelmsall
else, is an intensely personal decisionwhich everyone has the right
to makefor him or herself.
For the sake of those who live inconstant pain or face a
demeaning deathwith no prospect of relief, it is time tomove the
conversation into a new light.
Its unfortunate that our federal gov-ernment does not wish to
take the leadon such an initiative.
The solution startswith home
Dog owners have lessons to learnDear Editor:
I walked around Burnaby Lake last Sunday withmy very
well-trained dog. One hundred per cent ofthe dogs I met were not
vicious playful, excited,happy or nervous, but not vicious.
The same could not be said for about 80 per centof the owners
who were nervous, timid, aggressiveor fearful. If their dog started
to approach my dog both with tails wagging many of the
ownersdeployed such tactics as yelling at me to keep mydog away
from theirs, pulling their dog in so closeit was walking on its
hind legs only, ducking behindtrees or in one instance, even
climbing a tree.
What is the city creating where people are so
afraid of their dogs approaching another they haveto climb a
tree to protect their bichon frise from aninquiring sniff?
It seems to me that the problem is not that thereis an increase
in vicious dogs, but there is a defi-nite increase in people who
dont understand dogsand dog etiquette.
They dont understand their own dog, nor dothey understand the
need to socialize their dogs.A puppy is always going to be bouncy
and fullof energy but that is no reason to stop it fromapproaching
another dog. By doing that, the dogwill never learn manners and
down the road, it maydo something that may be interpreted, or
actually,be vicious to other dogs or people.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
It seems to me three things need to hap-pen here: The city needs
to be a lot moreproactive in encouraging people to social-ize their
dogs through classes, etc., and inthe process, the owners should
educatedas to what is normal dog behaviour andwhat is not.2. The
owners need to be more proactive inteaching their dogs the basics
come when
called, sit, heel, stay.3. Dog owners need to be less fearful
ofdogs interacting when they meet. I alwayscall out, My dog is
friendly! whenapproaching people with dogs that wantto meet but
then I have a well-traineddog who has been socialized.
Other people need to be less fearful andmore confident about
their dogs social-izing even puppies have to start some-where.

and community task forcesto collaboratively inves-tigate and
plan to endhomelessness.
We develop and main-tain a regional homeless-ness plan and
sponsora regional count of thehomeless population everythree
years.
The very nature ofinvisible homelessnessmakes it challenging
toquantify. While we get asample of those living intemporary
shelters, we donot capture everyone whomay be invisibly
homeless.
Many informally payrent by doing survivalsex work, chores or
othertypes of labour. Often onehas to give an address toaccess
support servicessuch as food banks or shel-
ter allowances. In thesecases a family or friendsaddress is
sometimes used,which keeps their home-lessness hidden.
That is why we con-tinue to foster collabora-tion among more
than 100organizations that workon homelessness day inand day out:
to enrichour understanding of thetrue extent of this issue.For
example, HollyburnFamily Services on theNorth Shore gets 20 callsa
day from seniors at riskof becoming homeless.Research done by
theUnited Way of the LowerMainland shows that thenumber of seniors
wait-ing for social housingincreased by 45 per centfrom 2009 to
2012. Eachsteering committee mem-
ber brings an importantpiece of the puzzle to thetable.
We, as a community,must find permanent solu-tions to

With a rising number of mental health-related calls, Burnaby
Mounties are usinga proactive strategy to help complete thecircle
of care for people in need of help.
Two years ago, Burnaby RCMP intro-duced a new position in the
detachment a mental health intervention coordina-tor.
There was a need identified by ourmanagement that they needed
some kindof liaison role between the detachment, thepolice, the
hospital and the mental healthcommunity, said Const. James
Grandy.
Grandy volunteered for the positionin 2011 and since then has
been respon-sible for creating comprehensive plans forpeople who
trigger multiple police calls ona monthly, and sometimes weekly,
basis.Together with nurses from Fraser Health,Grandy develops plans
to help these repeatcallers get the help they need.
Its involving people who have exper-tise in this area and have
the resourcesand ability to put together a managementplan, he said.
In some cases its having apsychiatrist involved, or sometimes its
acase worker involved.
Once a week Grandy meets with aFraser Health nurse to go over
the fileshes working on. They share information,be it regarding a
person who has beendealt with by police, as sometimes Fraser
Health isnt even aware of the person.By sharing information,
police and
health professionals are able to provide awell-rounded cycle of
care, Grandy said.
We discuss files and people in thecommunity who we found are
either high-risk or chronic in nature due to theirmental health,
and we would go out andvisit these people and problem solve
theirissues, he added.
According to a Burnaby RCMP reportrecently submitted to city
council, BurnabyMounties responded to 1,476 mentalhealth-related
calls in 2012, a nine per centincrease from 2011.
While Grandy is sure the number ofcalls will continue to rise as
new peoplein the community deal with mental healthissues, he hopes
that by being proactivewith repeat and chronic callers, Burnabycan
reduce or eliminate these calls alto-gether.
There are several people who havebeen identified as being a
burden on policeresources, and so I have, in consultationwith
mental health (workers), been ableto reduce a lot of their calls
for service,he said.
One person in particular stands out toGrandy. Earlier this year,
a man was call-ing police on a regular basis, sometimesmultiple
times a month. It turned out theman was an alcoholic, so Grandy
took hisfile to Fraser Healths substance abuse ser-vices and after
getting the help he needed,police havent been called to his
homesince.
Thats an example of us being able toidentify somebodys need and
being ableto know who to contact and who to hookthat person up with
in the community,Grandy said.

Indias mother ofstrength, power and wis-dom graced the city
withher presence as the DurgaPuja festival was celebratedin style
over theweekend.
The five-dayBengali festival,from Oct. 10 to14, was put onby the
executivecommittee ofUTSAB, whichis a culturalheritage groupof
Bengal, at aHindu templein Burnaby.
For theBengalis, this isthe most impor-tant festival,Leena
Roy,the societysgeneral secre-tary, told theBurnaby NOW.W h i c h e
v e rpart of the world were in,we celebrate Durga Puja.
The group rented out asection of the local Hindutemple and
filled the hallswith drumming, prayers,good deeds and socializ-ing,
as Roy said its a time
for new families to meet.Its a special kind of
drum, Roy said about thedhak. The moment youhear the beat of the
drum, itfills the air. When you hearthat, you get the feeling
ofDurga Puja right here. It
fills your heartand mind witha festive feel-ing, with thejoy.
Ladiesand men willalso do a spe-cial kind ofdance in frontof the
goddess.Its a beautiful,festive feel-ing.
The festi-val celebratesthe goddessMa Durga,who is calleddown
for thefive days anddestroys evil inthe universe.
We believein bringing
her on this Earth once ayear because we feel thatsomehow,
throughout theyear, different kinds of evilforces try to take over
andcreate an imbalance, Roynoted. Therefore, once ayear, we call
her, we wel-
come her on this Earth totake away, to destroy allthe evil
forces and fill theuniverse with goodness(and) strength.
A special priest per-formed a ceremony, andeach day, the society
orga-nized two large meals inthe afternoon and evening.
Roy said the afternoonmeals fed about 175 people,while the
evening mealssaw more than 300 everyday.
This has actually beenthe sixth year of the celebra-tion, she
said. We startedoff on a small scale, andevery year its been
grow-ing and getting better withmore response from people,more help
and support coming in.
Roy noted that peoplefrom any religious or cultur-al background
are welcometo join in on the harmoni-ous, colourful and
positivecelebrations.
We embrace every reli-gion, our doors open to allfaiths, she
added. Shes(Ma Durga) supposed to bethe mother of the
universe.Children and seniorscome and try to get themaximum
blessing for therest of the year.

Cooking with pumpkins
Pumpkins are obvi-ously one of themore popular har-vests this
time of the year.
I feel that pumpkin, as afood, is quite neglected inour everyday
diets.
Although this brightorange squash is approxi-mately 90 per cent
water,it is loaded with beta-carotene (an importantantioxidant) and
a list ofnutritional elements thatplay an important role in
awell-balanced diet.
Pumpkin is a memberof the squash family and,as with all squash,
is afruit. Any product of aplant containing seedsis botanically
classifiedas fruit, just like melonsfor example. There aretwo main
general typesof squash summersquash and winter squash.Summer squash
are onesthat can not be storedfor long periods of time.Zucchini
would be anexcellent representation of
a popular summer squash.Winter squash, on theother hand, can be
storedfor long periods of timeunder ideal storage condi-tions. They
should be keptaway from light and inan area that is
moderatelycooler than room tempera-ture. Good ventilation isalso
necessary. Along withpumpkins, other wintersquash are acorn,
butter-nut and autumn squash.
Pumpkins are mostpopularly used as jack-o-lanterns on
Halloweennight and in varyingrecipes for pies, cakes andsoups.
Rarely does onesee pumpkin served atthe table on its own. It canbe
used in any applica-tion that one would useother winter squashesand
undeniably will offermore flavour to the dish.Cubes of
oven-roastedpumpkin, in a medley ofother colourful vegetables,are a
perfect accompani-ment to an autumn meal.Alternatively, try
usingsmall chunks of pump-kin in your next stir-fryor pasta dish.
To makepreparation easier, cut thepumpkin into workablepieces to
aid in peelingand chopping. Wintersquashes should always be
peeled before consuming.Their tougher skin is
often challenging for thetraditional vegetable peel-er, and
therefore a knifemay be more facilitatingfor this task.
Afterwards,chop the pumpkin intopieces best suited for therecipe
being planned.
As well as the flesh,the seeds are also edible.The seeds are
sometimeseasily forgotten about anddiscarded along with theinnards.
Roasted pumpkinseeds can easily be pre-pared and transformedinto a
nutritional snack.Separate the seeds fromthe extracted inner
fila-ments and lightly coat theseeds with vegetable orolive oil.
Toss with saltand pepper or seasoningsalt, if desired, and
roastthem on a baking sheet ina 450-degree oven,
stirringoccasionally, until goldenbrown and crispy, approx-imately
12 to 15 minutes.Be careful to watch themclosely, as they burn
quiteeasily. Serve them in abowl on their own, orwith a mixture of
otherseeds, nuts and driedfruit. Pumpkin seeds arecredited with a
numberof medicinal propertiesand are a great source
of numerous minerals.However, due to their highfat content, they
shouldalways be consumed inmoderation.
Dear Chef Dez:We always buy cans ofpureed pumpkin this timeof
year for different dessertrecipes. Since pumpkins areavailable
fresh, wouldnt itbe more economical to makeit myself? How do I go
aboutdoing this?
John G.Chilliwack, B.C.
Dear John:It can be done quite eas-
ily. Cut a fresh pumpkin inhalf and remove the seedsand the
stringy filaments.Place the cut sides downon a baking sheet and
bakein a 350-degree oven untilthe flesh is very tender
approximately one hour.Spoon the cooked fleshoff the skin and into
afood processor and pureeuntil smooth. Transfer itto a large, fine
wire meshstrainer set over a bowl,cover and let drain in
therefrigerator overnight.Discard the liquid, and usethe drained
puree.

Question:We had terrible blight on
our tomatoes this year, so Iended up throwing out lotsof little
tomatoes. Does blightaffect pole beans as well orany other
vegetables? Whatcan be done about it so thatwe dont have the same
prob-lem next year? Heidi Naman, by email
Answer:Pole beans dont get
blight, but potatoes do.The last two summershave been so warm
anddry, its been easy toharvest good crops ofpotatoes. But in a
normalyear with sporadic rain,many potato plants haveblight by the
beginning ofAugust.
Peppers can get lateblight but usually dont.Eggplants are also
said tobe susceptible.
Blight is a fungal infec-tion that blows into gar-dens on rainy
winds orsplashes up from infectedsoil. It thrives on wet
foli-age.
Thats why the usualadvice is to grow tomatoesunder cover: in
green-houses, or outside underpolyethylene tunnels orunder south or
west wallroof overhangs. Keepingtomato plants dry definite-ly stops
blight and enablesyou to grow most anytomato you wish, includ-ing
heritage varieties.
But not everyone hascover available. Peoplewith no shelter for
toma-toes can get good harvestsoutside by growing blight-resistant
tomatoes. Whentheir roots are in natural
soil, tomatoes grow fastand produce massivecrops.
The oldest blight-resis-tant variety is the large-fruited
Legend, which issometimes sold as a trans-plant in garden
centres.Breeding of blight-resistanttomatoes is conventional(not
GMO).
This and the newerblight-resistant varietiescan be grown from
seed.Gardeners who start theirown transplants can har-vest big
crops of tomatoesby summers end. Blighton these varieties
startsvery late and moves veryslowly.
Blight-resistant vari-eties I grew this yearinclude the cherry
tomatoMountain Magic, thepaste-type Roma VF, andthe beefsteak-type
Defiant.
Only recently havethese seeds become com-mercially available,
andnot everyone has beenoffering them. This year Ibought mine
online fromVeseys (www.veseys.com).Grown outside, tomatoesare
somewhat later toripen, but quantities areimmense, and with
blight-resistant tomatoes theplants are still producingwhen
blight-stricken toma-toes have given up.
By the end ofSeptember all my tomatoeswere black with blighton
the older stems butstill had fresh, green newstems. By
mid-Octoberthe new stems were stillblight-free, and so wasthe
remaining green fruitwhich had to be ripenedinside.
Tomatoes are easy tofreeze (just wash them, drythem and drop
them into aplastic bag). Once frozen,their skin lifts off easilyif
theyre held under hot,running water.
Anne Marrison is happy toanswer gardening questionssent to
[email protected].

But the road to the finalwas far from easy, saidBurnaby bantam
headcoach John Batchelor.
The Bruins survived atough draw and three earlymorning starts to
win itsfirst Chilliwack banner inyears.
Burnaby tied Langley2-2 and Kamloops 4-4 inround-robin play,
andwereforced to come back froma pair of two-goal deficitsagainst
the North ShoreWinter Club to advance tothe gold-medal final.
In the tournament final,Burnaby gave up just onegoal to Okanagan
on back-to-back five-on-three pen-alty kills.
We used this adversityin Chilliwack to our advan-tage. Its
always our goal toplay the maximum amountof games, said

rareto have three kids from the same fam-ily. Its a difficult feat,
for sure,said Burnaby Karate Academy senseiSandeep Gill. This is
not a tournamentthat is easy to win. It puts into perspec-tive how
difficult it was to win.
