No longer ‘the city dump’

Kingsway-Imperial neighbourhood transforms itself – with dedicated citizens leading the way Stefania Seccia

staff reporter

Burnaby has won awards for being a well-managed city. It boasts four town centres that are set to become major activity hubs in the near future with the completion of large development projects and proposals – and the city’s building permit values for this year alone are the envy of other Lower Mainland municipalities. But Burnaby is still a large city with a variety of neighbourhoods that don’t all conveniently fall within the core of the four hubs – and sometimes areas get lost between the cracks. More than eight years ago, the Kingsway-Imperial neighbourhood was one area quickly becoming known as the “city dump.” That is until local resident Diane Gillis decided to take the neighbourhood back from the rising crime, prostitution and drugs. “What I started noticing was scary stuff,” Gillis said about what the area was like almost a decade ago. “We had shootings. I’ve been solicited way too many times, from men thinking I was a sex-trade worker. “When I walked along Kingsway, I heard someone say the neighbourhood was gone.” Gillis’s grandparents came in 1917 and ran a local drug store. She has lived in the area for 30 years and witnessed the neigh-

There’s been a fair bit of litter.” Gillis said she began to worry about the

example the neighbourhood was setting to its youth living between Edmonds and Metrotown. “It had a bad influence on our youth,” she said. “It made the neighbourhood less walkable. “We got kids growing up in a community and we’re real believers in modeling behaviour.” Gillis took her cause to her neighbours, to join her new association, then to council, the police, the local MLA and the school board. “I went to council and the police,” she said. “I can attest to the fact that they listened to us. We don’t get everything we want, but the area has vastly improved.” Portables were put in at the local com-

munity school, and the addition of a youth worker gave the community an opportunity to grow. Another positive step forward was the proposed rezoning to the local motel. “One thing that challenged me with creating a neighbourhood association was I wanted to meet in the community, but couldn’t find a public space,” she said. The association has met everywhere from coffee shops to senior centres, but it didn’t hinder progress. One of the big challenges Gillis has personally tackled is the graffiti in the area, which she says if left alone would continue to send the wrong message. “When you see graffiti it sends a Cleaning up Page 9

‘I WASN’T AWARE THAT THE LEFT SIDE OF MY BODY WAS DEAD’, RAY MCDONALD

Sharing strokes of insight and recovery

n February 2011, Burnaby resident Ray McDonald woke up one morning with what he assumed was a severe migraine. He spent the next two days in bed and it wasn’t until he woke up in hospital after a brain operation that he was told he had suffered a stroke. “It kind of came out of the blue,” he said of the hemorrhage in the right side of his brain that caused loss of motor skills on his left side and some vision loss in both eyes. “I wasn’t aware that the left side of my body was dead,” he said. “I couldn’t out of bed and ON MY BEAT Igetdidn’t know why Marelle Reid but I wasn’t terribly perturbed about it, which was strange. Now, looking back at it, that was all part of the effect (of having a stroke).” McDonald was 63 at the time and was in good health, with no blood pressure or weight issues that might indicate a predisposition for stroke. After a month in hospital, he was transferred to a rehabilitation centre where he started another month of cognitive and physical rehabilitation therapy. After returning home, the journey back to health was a slow but steady progress that continues to this day. McDonald has regained his ability to walk and most of the feeling in his left side, but still has some problems with vision and balance. Part of his continuing journey back to health includes volunteering with other stroke patients and giving talks on poststroke rehabilitation. On Saturday, June 8, McDonald will share his story during the stroke recovery education day hosted by the Stroke Recovery Association of B.C. at the Vancouver Public Library, where participants will learn tips and strategies for making life at home easier, ways to prevent another stroke, and ways to find support and programs in the community.

“The questions (my wife and I) get from people, you can tell how much it means to them to hear (our story) and to be able to talk to someone who’s been through it,” he said. Every year in B.C. about 6,500 people suffer a stroke, which can sometimes occur without warning, and can strike at any age, though the majority of stroke victims are over the age of 65, according to the Stroke Recovery Association of B.C. Tim Readman, executive director of the association, said the education event is important for stroke victims to know there is support available in their communities

and that having a stroke doesn’t have to mean an end to independence or quality of life. “There is life after stroke,” he said. “What we mean by that is that there is hope. We define the recovery process by saying there is continuous opportunity for improvement. Before we knew a lot about the human brain we thought that if it was damaged it was damaged forever. Now we have a concept which is known as neuroplasticity, and in popular language that’s become the brain that heals itself.” Readman said physical and mental therapies, social and recreation opportuni-

ties, emotional support and education and awareness around stroke recovery, in combination, all leads to the best outcome for stroke patients in the long-term. How to access these and other elements of recovery support will be presented at the education event, to be held from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at the Vancouver Public Library’s central branch, at 350 West Georgia St. in Vancouver. Anyone affected by stroke or interested in gaining more information is welcome to attend this free event. For more information, visit www.stro kerecoverybc.ca.

After $20,000 phone bill – new rules just a start Stefania Seccia staff reporter

The new changes that have put a cap on international roaming charges is a good start, but there’s still a long way to go in battling large phone fees, according to Burnaby resident Matt Buie.

Buie made headlines a few months ago when his roaming charges resulted in a $20,000 phone bill that was reduced to $200 when he went public. His 11-year-old son had used about 700 megabytes of data while the family was touring Mexico. Buie was shocked when he came home

heard from Matt Buie,” Buie told the NOW in a phone interview. “I would’ve paid $50 and my son would have paid $50.” Although it’s a good start and a positive step from the commission, the fees are still quite steep, he said. “Again, it’s good for the (com-

Report finds gaps in training standards set for firefighters Cayley Dobie staff reporter

A report drafted for the Fire Chiefs’ Association of B.C. is calling on the province to provide more funding and stricter guidelines for fire services training. The report – British Columbia Fire Training Needs Assessment – was prepared by researchers at BCIT using past studies and research as well as surveys and interviews conducted by the institute. The report concludes that because of a lack of government oversight, especially in the more rural volunteer fire departments, there has been “inconsistent fire services training across the province,” according to a press release. In Burnaby, however, training to an industry standard is a priority and the department does as much training as its resources will allow, said fire Chief Shaun Redmond. “As best as we can, we train to (Fire Protection Association) standards,” he

said. “There’s some things that we don’t partake in because we’re unable to maintain the certification.” While funding can be hard to come by at the Burnaby department, it isn’t the main reason the department chooses not to certify its officers in all areas available, Redmond said. “We could be quite a bit more diversified, but we don’t have the resources to sustain things,” he said. Redmond stressed that most of the training decisions the Burnaby department makes depend on how much time they have to allocate. “If it’s required training, we find the time,” he said. But if the training is in an extra field, most of the time Redmond chooses to provide that only as general information, rather than actually certifying his officers. He said he does this because the alternative would require continual recertification, and his department doesn’t have the time or staff to do such a thing.

full price on a phone so it’s unlocked, and going on a month-to-month contract. “Did you lease your computer or did you buy it?,” he said. “If you think about it, when you buy a computer for your home you buy it. Why wouldn’t you do the same thing for your cellphone?” Buie said that by the end of the average three-year contract, a consumer may have spent at least $900 for a $600 phone. The commission made the changes following recommendations put forward from a public hearing held from Feb. 11 to 15. “Every day, Canadians rely on wireless devices while in their homes, at their jobs, at school or travelling abroad,” said JeanPierre Blais, the commission’s chairman, in a media release. “The wireless code will contribute to a more dynamic marketplace by making it possible for Canadians to dis-

cuss their needs with service providers at least every two years.” Other changes include cancelling a wireless contract after two years without facing cancellation fees, even if signing onto a longer term; a cap on extra data charges at $50 a month; cellphones that can be unlocked after 90 days or immediately after paying the device in full; cellphones that can be returned within 15 days; changes to key terms of a fixed-term contract that can be accepted or declined. “The wireless code is a tool that will empower consumers and help them make informed choices about the service options that best meet their needs,” Blais said. “To make the most of this tool, consumers also have a responsibility to educate themselves.” For more information, visit www.crtc. gc.ca/wirelesscode.

dinners and breakfasts – it makes sense to avoid commuting time. (For the story, go to www.burnabynow.com) Wayne Wright, New Westminster’s mayor, chose to stay at the Pan Pacific Hotel for three nights – and rightly so. He hosted two evening events, attended the Big City Mayors’ Caucus meeting on housing on Thursday and, we’re sure, made some valuable connections and helped spread the word about New Westminster.

Now, if one is seriously concerned about wasting taxpayer money on hotels and trips – we suggest examining the true value of trips to sister cities. Both New Westminster and Burnaby have spent tens of thousands of dollars on these trips, earning, perhaps, pocketfuls of goodwill but tangible benefits are much harder to display – albeit the gorgeous tans and multitudes of photos taken with foreign city leaders should count for something, shouldn’t they?

Global warming is a hoax Dear Editor:

My wife and I found another point to agree on: The Harper government is terrible at getting their message out. So, let me take care of one – read it here first (and send money): Global warming (is) for real dummies. You have been had. This planet’s climate has always ignored CO2. Past warming periods always preceded CO2 built-up in (Al Gore’s) heaven. You don’t really have to send money either. Just read the news … (But don’t look too hard in the Canadian media.) Why do we still hear the opposite?

Because dummies keep sending money to Saint David Suzuki and his tribe of Luddites. That’s why he feels obliged to read to you from the Gospel of Al Gore. Just watch how fast he stops the minute dummies and Tide Canada (though they are far from dummies) stop the cash flow. Ziggy Eckardt, Burnaby

The high cost of extraction Dear Editor:

The party that just got re-elected in B.C. – and with a strong majority, to make sure the natural-resource-extraction machine runs full-steam ahead – is the most friendly with the federal Conservative government on the topic of placing a growing economy and jobs at the very top of their agenda, with the environment and precious ecosystems at the very bottom. In other words, a lot of shortsightedness is around the corner in regards to a healthy ecosystem and thus a formidably potential threat to a healthy populace. In Big Industry’s universe, life-sustaining ecosystems are supposed to take a back seat to massive crude oil and coal extractions and shipping – all for the sake of the almighty dollar. Really, what part of the no-brainer rhetorical question do so many B.C.ers not understand? Is there much good in virtually unhindered resource-extraction and creating countless jobs when the planet is deathly contaminated, with its populace getting sicker and dying because of mass industrial and vehicular pollution? Frank Sterle, via email

Change: Young voters lose out continued from page 6

Clearly that was not the kind of change generations X and Y were looking for themselves or their young kids (although they are pleased to see an ongoing commitment toward the health of their parents and grandparents). The B.C. NDP will remain in opposition, at least in part, because they failed to prioritize the changes needed and wanted by younger generations. Opposition political parties seeking different outcomes across the country would be wise to learn from this outcome. On the road from opposition to government, leaders must compete more for the votes of those who currently elect not to participate.

Incumbents are being re-elected to power because they consistently win more support from the older part of the population who show up. This suggests the path from opposition to government may be less about convincing voters to shift their support from one party to another, and more about shifting young people from abstaining to voting. The B.C. NDP did not embrace this logic. Their effort to sell change “one practical step at a time” didn’t excite many in Generation Squeeze to opt back into the political process. This shouldn’t surprise anyone. Bold, not incremental, adaptations are required to excite those who are strug-

gling with wages that are down $4 an hour despite having more post-secondary, and paying housing prices that are far, far higher than what they were in the mid-1970s. In sum, opposition parties across Canada that aspire to a better fate than the B.C. NDP should pay attention to the scale of the challenges facing generations X, Y and their kids – and design their platforms accordingly. Only then can we expect a greater proportion of younger generations to opt back into the voting process. And only then are opposition parties likely to translate large leads in the polls into large majorities in the legislature.

Cleaning up: One mural at a time

For the better:

Diane Gillis founded the Kingsway Imperial Neighbourhood Association to improve the area and bring the community together.

message,” she said. “It says, ‘Come in here and do as you wish because it is against the law.’” Gillis noted that the area has many ‘mom and pop’ businesses that were being plagued by unwanted spray paint. “We want the businesses to be more successful,” she said. So reducing the visual crime has been tackled one mural at a time as Gillis is also a member of the Mayor’s Task Force on Graffiti. One recent mural addition is part of an international series to promote healthy oceans. Many of the area improvements also came from the local businesses re-investing into the community, Gillis said. Sean Kumagai is the general manager at Metrotown Mazda at 5775 Kingsway. His office overlooks the Kingsway-Imperial intersection, which he says has afforded him the chance to really see the changes. “If people care, “About seven or eight years ago Diane approached me things will before our building was renocontinue to vated, and she said she wanted to look at the area and make improve.” improvements,” he said. “There SEAN KUMAGAI were a lot of challenges to look GM, Metrotown Mazda at.” Kumagai noted the prostitution on the street corners, other suspicious people hanging around the neighbourhood and graffiti, which have all gone down considerably. “Nobody probably sees more than what I see of what goes on,” he said in his windowed office, facing the intersection. “If people care, things will continue to improve.” Kumagai said the association has enjoyed the full support of the city, local MLAs and the RCMP. “There was a lot of interest in all of the politicians,” he said. “We had community clean ups, and the graffiti task force really helped.” Another improvement to the area was local businesses renovating or upgrading their frontages. “There have been a lot of big changes,” he said. “Even us, we had a big renovation and now it looks nice. Visions is renovating right now and it was one of the last older buildings renovated here. One thing that makes the area better is the business investment. The changes represent that it’s worthwhile to do business here.” Kumagai noted that the last few years have been very positive. “It’s at a really comfortable level now,” he said about walking the neighbourhood streets. Gillis said the changes speak to Burnaby’s strength as a community, echoing Kumagai’s comments that the area businesses were willing to improve the neighbourhood. “There’s a lot more conversation in the community,” she said. “A renewed sense of hope.” sseccia@burnabynow.com

Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Burnaby service providers who help immigrants and refugees are in the midst of a government-funding sea change. On Monday, Citizenship and Immigration Canada put a call out for settlement work funding proposals for April 2014 – that’s when the federal government takes back control of the millions that are normally transferred to the province. That money, more than $100 million this year, pays for language and settlement services, anti-racism initiatives and the provincial government’s Welcome B.C. program. Jody Johnson, project coordinator for the Burnaby Intercultural Planning Table, wasn’t sure what shape the new model would take. “It’s a huge change, but what that’s going to look like, we really don’t know quite yet,” Johnson said. “Until we go through this process of repatriation, it’s a little bit speculative.” The Burnaby Intercultural Planning Table is a consortium of non-profits and government agencies that meet regularly to share resources, while identifying gaps in services for new immigrants and refugees in Burnaby. The table also runs a number of projects, such as the library’s award-winning online collection of multi-lingual children’s songs, and the storytelling training for refugees, both of which were recently featured in the Burnaby NOW. But funding for these projects will no longer be available from the federal government, according to Chris Friesen, director of settlement services for the Immigrant Services Society of B.C. “As of next April, there will be no project funding available. There will only be a resources for community convening – that means that (for) the

Burnaby townhouse in renovated homes parade Stefania Seccia staff reporter

It’s not the average parade with streamers, floats and candy – instead, it’s a parade showcasing the hard work that goes into sprucing up a home. The Greater Vancouver Home Builders’ Association is inviting the public on its 20th annual parade of professionally renovated homes located across the Lower Mainland on Sunday, June 9, with a townhouse in Burnaby being one of the 11 featured stops. The parade is meant to highlight homes that have undergone a major transformation from a stale run-ofthe-mill dwelling to a contemporary and energy-efficient one. At 105-9088 Halston Crt., Level One Construction Ltd. worked with the owners of the townhouse and spent about $120,000 that went into heated floors, top-grade appliances and an overall improvement to the home, according to its project manager Eduardo Silva. “We came up with the concept based on the style of the house and the complex,” Silva told the NOW. “They had a lot of earth tones, and have a dog ... because the house is five years old, it’s seen a lot of wear and tear.” Silva said no structural work was done in the renovation, but they did replace the carpets, put in new cabinetry, put in new tiles, painted the walls and created a “spa feeling” in the master bathroom.

Vince Vaccaro ready for Burnaby Blues fest

The Burnaby NOW recently chatted with musician Vince Vaccaro about his career and upcoming performance at this summer’s Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival Marelle Reid staff reporter

Question: Where are you from? Answer: I was born in Montreal and I came here to Vancouver Island with my parents just before my teen years and I’ve been here ever since. So, I was born in the east, but I was definitely bred and raised mostly in the west and I’ve adopted the West Coast as my home. I love the place. I’ll never go back on my French-Canadian roots ‘cause that’s who I am, but definitely love the West. Q: What kind of music do you play? A: A lot of people label what we do as roots rock and roll, because there’s reggae influence, there’s that folk influence, there’s the rock and roll influence, and when you see us, it’s a bit of a big lineup. We have two guitarists, I sing primarily and play guitar, we have base and drums, sometimes we have a full percussionist, and then we have a saxophone player as well. So it’s quite a big band, and it’s a pretty huge sound with the band. So both ways it works, acoustically, and with the rock and roll, and it’s just like a different experience, but it’s all roots music at the end of the day. Q: Did you take music lessons as a kid? A: Not even. I have a photo on my mantel that my mom just gave me, it’s an actual Polaroid photo. I’m six months old and I’m smiling like an idiot and I’ve got a hand drum, and I’m clutching it, I’m hugging it. Honestly, I feel like I was born with it. I think my older brother showed me a few things on guitar when I was probably about 10 or 11, and then I took it from there. I mean, I had people along the way that guided me when they realized that I was interested in music, but I’ve got no technical background in terms of training or schooling. It’s all just by ear and it’s all just been by feel. I’m a self-taught musician. Q: What’s your writing process?

Singer-songwriter: Vince Vaccaro produces music at his home studio near Victoria, B.C. and will be performing live at Deer Lake Park in August during the Burnaby Blues and Roots Festival.

A: I really always say that emotions lend me the song. If I feel something, I can translate that into what it would sound like to feel that particular thing, so for me, that’s the process. If I’m not feeling something, if I’m trying to make up a song, it sounds terrible, because it’s not a genuine expression, it’s just like I’m manufacturing this idea based on what I know things to sound like, you know what I mean? And that’s not really my style. Q: What’s it like to perform on stage in front of a crowd? A: Definitely an exhilarating experience. It brings the music to life. It’s kind of the moment you work so hard for, in a way. Q: How many albums have you produced? A: I put out a full-length in 2009, and then I followed that up with a single and then I did a whole bunch of single releases in 2010 and then released another fulllength record called Oceans in November

last year, and then followed that up with I put it out to people through iTunes and a few more singles. I mean, it’s hard other digital distribution (channels), like to say full-length.

Strawberry tea and piano music on Father’s Day Library reading F LIVELY CITY Marelle Reid

or dads who enjoy the sound of someone tickling the ivory, there’s a show here in town on Fathers’ Day. The Burnaby Clef Society is hosting a piano recital with performances by honours students, from 1 to 5 p.m. at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts on

Sunday, June 16. Students will perform for guests who will also be able to enjoy a strawberry cake and tea during intermission. Admission is free, and cost of tickets for the strawberry tea is yet to be determined. The Shadbolt is located at 6450 Deer Lake Ave.

Also on Father’s Day, local librarians will be readings selections from Stephen Leecock’s 1912 classic, Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town. This event, a benefit for the Burnaby Community Camping Bureau, will run

from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Burnaby Village Museum. “The ‘grandfather’ of Canadian humourists, Leacock affectionately portrayed the eccentric characters of a small 19th-century town with his masterful dry wit,” said Burnaby librarian Lise Kreps, in a press release.

The reading is recommended for ages 11 to adult. Tickets are available in the museum at the church door by donation (suggested $10). The Museum is located at 6501 Deer Lake Ave. For more information, visit www.bpl.bc.ca/ events and search by date.

Alleviating local poverty

Development Goals, which focus on poverty, education, health and the environment. The students picked one of the issues and developed their own non-governmental organizations to raise awareness for their cause, according to teacher Lara Sutton. They then voted on one overall issue to work on, and chose a group called Poverty Is History, which focuses on alleviating local poverty. The students organized a coin drive at the school and raised $529 for the United Way. “I was very impressed with the way my class approached this assignment and with the response from the other kids at the school,” Sutton wrote in an email to the NOW. “One of the criteria is that they would be able to run the entire fundraiser without adult support. They independently organized the committee, produced advertising, generated donations, collected and counted all the coins and brought (them) to the bank to be deposited.

Google, Nasa to work with city’s D-Wave

Quantum bits:

Jeremy Hilton, vice-president of processor development, stands in front of a D-Wave quantum computer. Burnaby’s D-Wave Systems Inc is installing its new computer at the Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab, which is a collaboration between NASA, Google and Universities Space Research Association.

Stefania Seccia staff reporter

Burnaby’s quantum computing company, D-Wave Systems Inc., will help astronauts get to space. D-Wave made an announcement in May that its D-Wave Two computer will be installed at the new Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab, which is a collaboration between NASA, Google and Universities Space Research Association. Researchers in this collaboration are expecting to use the 512-qubit quantum computer to advance machine learning and develop applications for a broad range of complex science problems such as web search, speech recognition, planning and scheduling, search for exoplanets, and support mission control centre operations. “Three world class organizations and their research teams will use the D-Wave Two to develop real world applications and to support research from leading academic institutions,” said Vern Brownwell, D-Wave’s CEO, in a media release. “This joint effort shows that quantum computing has expanded beyond the theoretical realm and into the worlds of business and technology.” The three organizations selected D-Wave’s new computer after it passed several tests, which either met or exceeded the performance specifications, according to the media release. “(High performance computing) buyers and users are looking for ways to speed up their applications beyond what contemporary technologies can deliver,” said Steve Conway, International Data Corporation (IDC) research vice president for high performance computing. “IDC believes organizations that depend on leading-edge technology would do well to begin exploring the possibilities of quantum computing.” The Burnaby-based company has started installing its new computer at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Moffet Field, California. D-Wave was founded in 1999 by UBC scientists. It is the world’s first commercial quantum computing com-

pany that has made computers using quantum mechanical theories. Its investor base includes In-Q-Tel (representing the CIA), Goldman Sachs, and others – plus it sold its first computer to Lockheed Martin. Each system has a price tag of $10 million, is hundreds of thousands of times faster than a conventional computer and requires a temperature colder than deep space to work.

What sets a quantum computer apart from a regular one, is its ability to solve optimization problems such as machine learning, cancer detection and image-labelling, according to vice-president of processor development, Jeremy Hilton, in a previous interview with the NOW.

WHEELS Deals Tire choice plays big role in road performance David Chao Contributor

Most people don’t think too much about their car’s tires – all they know is that they’re round, hold air and essentially keep the car on the ground. In fact, most people don’t even care about them, until it’s time to replace the tires, then they make comments like “Gosh, my tires are worn out, now I have to replace them!” As a result, people just end up searching for the “best” deal, often getting the cheapest tires possible. If one would stop and think about their tires a little longer, they would realize that they are the only contact their vehicle has with the road. Therefore, stopping distance, cornering ability, ride comfort and fuel efficiency are all affected by the tire choice. The most sophisticated

braking and steering systems could be rendered useless by inferior tires. But by the same token, a good set of tires can considerably improve every aspect of even the most basic automobile. Now that we’ve acknowledged the importance of tires, how do we go about making the correct choice? As with any purchasing decision, knowledge is power. The first step is determining what size of tire you need. Just like how different people need different sized shoes, different cars need different sized tires. But unlike shoes, which are largely defined by a single number and restricted by your feet size, tires are exponentially more complicated with an infinite combination of size, diameter, compound type, and character. Let’s look at two examples: P225/60R16 97T

Contributed photo/burnaby now

Hot wheels: A frontal view of the BMW X1’s tires. Tires play an integral role in vehicle performance, including impacting stopping, cornering and fuel efficiency. and LT265/70R17 121R. Admittedly, these appear a bit like a code, but after breaking the measurements down, it’s not so bad.

◆ The prefix, a P or LT, simply indicates that the tire is designed for either passenger car or light truck application. Some SUVs and smaller trucks

are fitted with P-rated tires for improved ride comfort, but if you are routinely carrying heavier loads, a LT-rated tire would suit your needs better.

◆ The next group of digits, 225 and 265 in our examples, tells you how wide the cross-section of the tire is in millimeters. The bigger the number, the wider the tire. But keep in mind; this measurement is from the widest point to widest point and not just the surface of the tread. ◆ The following number is the aspect ratio. This tells you the height of the sidewall as a percentage of the tire’s width. So, the sidewall of our passenger tire is 60 per cent of 225 mm, or 135 mm. Understanding the aspect ratio becomes most important when changing wheel sizes, which we will discuss in more detail later. ◆ The R lets you know that it is a radial tire as opposed to a bias-ply tire, which would be designated by a D. Bias-ply tires are no longer used in passenger vehicle applications. Tires Page 25

WHEELS

Tires: Upgrading wheels cost-effective way to improve ride continued from page 22

◆ The rim size in inches is noted next. In our examples, the car has 16inch wheels and the truck has 17s. Obviously, a 16inch tire will not fit on a 17-inch wheel or vice versa. ◆ Next is the load-carrying capacity. As you can see in our example, the LT has a higher load rating at 121 verses 97 for the passenger tire. It is highly recommended that you never select a tire with a lower load rating than the manufacturers specifications. But as mentioned earlier, it is acceptable to increase the rating if you are often carrying a lot of weight. ◆ The last item is the tire’s speed rating. This reflects the tire’s ability to dissipate heat. Driving at high speeds for extended periods of time, like on long highway commutes, creates heat buildup within the tire. Too much heat increases the likelihood of a failure. Again, do not fit a tire with a lower speed rating than the one recommended, but if the bulk of your driving is on the highway, feel free to move up a rating or two. Now that we’ve broken down the basic ingredients

of a tire, we need to determine what makes one better than another. Well, that largely depends on your specific needs. Some questions you need to ask yourself are: would you prefer a harder, more performance-oriented tire or a softer, more comfortable one. Also, how do you rate the importance of fuel economy, tread wear and noise reduction. Tire companies have designed tread patterns that can greatly increase one or more of these aspects. Aside from the amount of highway driving you do and how much cargo you carry, it’s wise to consider the area you live in. If you live in a part of the country where snow is inevitable, then snow tires are recommended. And a good set of snows in the winter will allow you to equip a more focused summer tire the rest of the year. An all-season tire will offer a moderate level of traction in all conditions, but is a compromise to the optimum capabilities of the dedicated tires. For performance seekers, upgrading your tires offers a quick and cost-effective means for

Keeping the overall diameter as close to the original as possible is important in order to maintain sufficient ground clearance, appropriate driveline gearing and accurate speedometer/odometer readings. Large changes in diameter could also affect the car’s ABS, traction control and vehicle stability systems. The last point to consider is price. Tires may seem quite costly, but you need to keep those costs in perspective. You will likely only need to purchase a new set of tires once or twice over a car’s lifespan. You will definitely need to change the oil and other fluids many times. From that point of view, prices come much more in line with the other costs of regular maintenance. With so many tires to choose from, even armed with this knowledge, selecting a specific tire can still be a daunting task.

improvement. The most common practice is plus sizing. This is the concept of increasing the wheel size by an inch or two while lowering the aspect ratio of the tire. This makes the sidewall shorter and more rigid. Typically, the width of the wheel and tire are also increased. Mixed with high performance rubber, the driver will notice quicker steering response and cornering ability. In fact, the level of performance you can gain can be quite astonishing – something people don’t think about when trying to upgrade or update their

older cars. Using the example car tire size, we could switch to a 235/50R17, or even up to a 245/45R18 from the original 225/60R16 size. As you can see, the width of the tire and wheel diameter are increased while the aspect ratio is decreased to keep the tire’s overall diameter the same.

Continental Tire is one of the largest and oldest tire manufacturers in the world. They offer a full line of passenger car and lighttruck tires. For consumers looking for an all-season tire, which might improve upon the performance of their original equipment, Continental’s ExtremeContact DWS may be the answer. The ExtremeContact DWS is an ultra-high performance all-season tire fine-tuned to offer “extreme grip in dry, wet and snow conditions with superior tread life and comfort.” Next time you find yourself in a situation that requires a set of new tires, get excited and say, “Wow, it’s a chance to get something amazing to improve my ride and performance,” instead of sighing about spending money. It’s well worth the investment.

“LIPSTICK” RENOVATIONS

CAN MAKE BUYER FALL IN LOVE

hen it comes to putting the best face forward when it is time to sell a home, sometimes a “lipstick” renovation is all that is needed to make a potential buyer fall in love. “Fresh paint, new address numbers and a good cleanup can really make a difference,” advises real estate consultant Ozzie Jurock. “Such lipstick renovations can really pay off.” “First impressions are everything when selling your home, and paint is the easiest and least expensive way to create an appealing atmosphere for potential buyers,” says paint expert Alison Goldman, of CIL paint. “The more attractive and comfortable you make your home, the more it will entice prospective buyers to make an offer.” According to Goldman, vendors can be a bit daring with their colour choice. “Contrary to popular

belief, colours with personality have been shown to be more effective at closing a deal. In fact, soothing shades of green, brown and yellow paint may even help a home sell faster than white or beige.” She recommends earth tones such as muted shades of green, brown, yellow, blue, red, grey and tan. “They create a warm and inviting environment.” There are some tips when freshening the home for suitors, er, buyers, • Look at the property from a buyer’s perspective. Don’t think of it as your home anymore. You’re selling a product now. • Since your furnishings will be going with you when you move, select a colour scheme best suited to stationary items, such as flooring, cabinetry and countertops. When choosing paint for a living or dining room, for example, hold paint swatches right next to the floor, not only in the middle of the wall,

to ensure the tones work well together. Painting a focal wall in a warm colour adds personality to a room and may draw increased interest from prospects. This technique is especially eﬀective in key rooms like the master bedroom and dining area, where a splash of colour adds charm to a space without overwhelming it. Use colour to highlight impressive features of a home or detract from less desirable elements. For example, upgrades such as crown molding can be accented by painting them a colour that contrasts slightly with the walls. Smaller spaces can be visually expanded with shades of cool blue or muted green, and a dark entryway can be warmed up with sunny yellow to maximize the play of light. “For a minimum investment, paint can help yield maximum return when selling your home,” Goldman says.

Lax Lakers to honour its Great One Tom Berridge sports editor

Sports has had its share of famous players who wore the No. 9 on their back. Former Burnaby Laker star Russ Heard will soon be joining those greats who wore that number. On July 5, the Burnaby Lakers, the Western Lacrosse Association franchise the 6-4 righthander stoically supported for 13, mostly losing seasons, will retire Heard’s number in a tribute to the future hall of famer. Heard helped lead the Lakers to three of their four WLA playoff finals in his storied career. He was one of the original Richmond Outlaws, which switched zip codes in the 1990s to become the Burnaby Lakers. But perhaps unkindly, Heard never had an opportunity to experience a Mann Cup. Burnaby’s best-ever chance for a league title came in a Game 7 double overtime loss to the Coquitlam Adanacs back in 1993. In that memorable journey to the ‘93 final, Heard marched the 12-12 Lakers past the New Westminster Salmonbellies with a record-setting goal-scoring effort that still stands to this day. In the seven-game semifinal series, Heard set five new WLA playoff records, scoring the fourth-, fifth, sixth- and seventh-fastest goals ever, while also rewriting the record book with six goals in one playoff period. Heard would not get another opportunity at a championship despite playing another seven seasons, including five more in Burnaby. But the likeable giant put up career numbers that will one day place him in the hall of honour with other lacrosse greats. In his 13-year senior A career, Heard stands 10th all-time with 646 assists in regular season play and his 1,021 points is in the company of the top-20 best players to ever play the game. He was also known for

He spent the following two seasons with the Coquitlam Adanacs, losing both years to Victoria 4-1 in the series’ final. In a cruel touch of irony, Heard retired after the 2000 season and the Adancs went on to win a Mann Cup the following year. “I was glad Coquitlam won (the Mann Cup),” he said, adding he’s been asked why he didn’t play one last season.

about the man. “When I played, I always thought I could get in better shape, but there’s a point you realize, you’re just holding on. “I felt I couldn’t contribute like I had been able to. At the end of my career, my shoulders were hurting, my back was hurting, my knee was hurting.” And at the end of the day, it was about winning something with your fellow soldiers. Heard grew up in the Heard Page 35

One game can change the direction of an entire season. That’s what the Burnaby Lakers’ 9-8 upset over the defending Western Lacrosse Association champion Langley Thunder on Wednesday could mean to the summer season. “I think we found our discipline and work ethic and it showed in the game,” said first-year Lakers’ head coach Rory McDade. Burnaby got a jump on the host Thunder, building a 3-0 lead late in the opening period. Dane Stevens had a hand in all three goals, setting up Colton Clark and Scott Jones, with his first of four markers on two first-period power plays. Stevens also scored an unassisted counter in the period. In the middle frame, Jackson Decker made it 5-1, but Langley responded with four in a row to momentarily draw even midway through the period. Jones, who scored his first goal of the game in the final minute of the first period, tallied again in the late stages of the second, potting his third and fourth – the first while shorthanded and the latter with 12 seconds left and the goalie on the bench for a sixth attacker. “We had a good start and our defence was great, and Jones had a couple of momentum-swinging goals,” McDade added. The Lakers kept up the pressure in the final frame. Casey Jackson scored his first of the season in the opening minute to give the Lakers a three-goal lead. Shaun Dhaliwal tallied the eventual game-winner on the short man from Justin Salt at 11:09. Dan Lewis had his best ◗Lakers Page 34

JR. A LACROSSE

Overachieving a tough sell for junior Lakers lax club Tom Berridge sports editor

It’s getting tougher for both the Burnaby Lakers and their opponents in B.C. junior A lacrosse. The junior Lakers lost their seventh and eighth consecutive league games this week. At the halfway point of the season it’s difficult to see where the next win might come from. On Tuesday, New Westminster ganged up on the Lakers, booting them back to Burnaby with a 207 thrashing. On Sunday, the Victoria Shamrocks won by a 17-5 score. Few armchair pundits may have predicted that the once mighty Lakers would be unable to match last season’s 3-18 season. But this season may be that year. Burnaby was full marks for a 2-2 tie after the opening 20 minutes against Victoria, but the second period proved anything but as Shamrocks’ captain Brody Eastwood scored in the opening 20 seconds, opening up a tidal wave of chances, including 10 goals

on 23 shots, that sank the Burnaby juniors. It was a similar scenerio in New West. “Games like this are tough. They’re a developing team,” said Eastwood after the game. “In the second period we executed like we should. We’ve just got to keep working.” The problems in the other dressing room would not be as staggering, if it was about just a lack of effort. But that does not appear to be the case. Clearly, Victoria and New West are just the better teams, and it shows. McDonald did what he could in Sunday’s game, blocking 46 Shamrock shots on goal. But at some point even the strongest dyke cannot hold back the rising tide. This season, the junior Lakers have scored in double figures on just one occasion and are currently averaging less than seven goals per game. “We’re trying our best, but we’re digging ourselves a pretty good hole,” said second-year Burnaby runner Quinton Bradley.

Bradley epitomized the effort from the Burnaby club that appears to be trying its best. The McGill University field lacrosse defender assisted on Burnaby’s 2-2 goal in the final moments of the first period against Victoria, sending Bradley Breadon on a breakaway with a long pass. In the second period, Bradley ran the entire floor to score Burnaby’s third goal and shave the deficit to 5-3 before the visiting Shamrocks took over complete control. He also had two counters in the loss in New Westminster. The Lakers weathered 60-plus shots in both recent losses, including being outshot 65-31 at Queen’s Park. Earlier last week, Burnaby also lost 13-6 in Port Coquitlam. “We need more guys,” admitted Bradley, who vowed he would not give up despite the team’s apparent mismatch from game to game. “I definitely love the sport,” Bradley added. “Either way, I’m not going to quit; no way.”

game of the year to date, backstopping the win with 39 saves. “The guys played really hard. It was nice to see Casey Jackson and (Tyler) Digby in the lineup. It ups our talent level for sure,” said McDade. The win drew the Lakers out of the cellar and into a tie for fifth place with

Teen wins club Gold Cup Tom Berridge sports editor

Alex François of Burnaby is the toast of the Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club. The Moscrop Secondary School junior bettered the best of the best at the prestigious Vancouver golf club, winning the two-day Gold Cup interclub event with a two-under-par 144 last weekend. François fired twin rounds of one-under 72 to

finish on top of the leaderboard. But it took a playoff before he could finally be proclaimed the winner. François parred the 370yard par-4 second hole to win the event playoff, which every year invites the best players from the Shaughnessy club to take part in the annual spring competition. This year, 102 golfers took part in the event. “There are no strokes, no handicap play, it’s

mano-amano,” said Shaughnessy assistant pro Lindsay Bernakevitch. “It was a very tough course.” The Shaughnessy course, which has played host to five Canadian Opens, including the last one in 2011, was doctored for cup play, said Bernakevitch, including championship pin placements on the 7,010-yard course. “It was nice to see a young guy come out on top,” he said.

Besides playing the beautiful game, Juni has refereed for the past six seasons, as well as squeezing in coaching duties with the Burnaby Girls under-11 Thunderbolts.

Oxtoby plays, coaches and mentors young players at the Wesburn youth club and aspires to be a goalkeeper coach one day. All 12 recipients will be recognized at an MLS game between the Vancouver Whitecaps and the New England Revolution on Saturday, June 15.

New Westminster program and when he entered his junior draft year in 1984, he and many of his Royal City teammates were taken by the fledgling Outlaws franchise that moved to Burnaby after four seasons. “It’s funny some things stand out, but a lot of those years run together,” Heard said. But the years he cherishes are 1990, ’91 and ’93, the seasons he went to the league finals with his buddies. “You know what? You want to win a Mann Cup with the guys you battled with,” he said. Heard did eventually share a Championship Trophy with the pro Toronto Rock in 2000.

Heard’s jersey retirement is the first such celebration in the 25-year history of the Laker franchise. The ceremony will take place on Friday, July 5 prior to the start of the WLA game against his former hometown New Westminster Salmonbellies. That weekend will also coincide with the Jack Crosby memorial all-star novice tournament in Burnaby. “It’s a great honour. When you play, you don’t think about those things, but when it happens it’s great. It’s nice of (Burnaby) to do that.” Then, in keeping with his unique sense of humour, Heard added, “I’m guessing it’s going to be at the start of the game, so I probably won’t have that much time (to speak), which is probably good for everybody.”
