KINDER MORGAN

Security raises red flag

Mother makes a public plea for thief to return her late daughter’s birth certificate

Don Hauka and Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Cayley Dobie staff reporter

When four-year-old Lucia Hazelton died, her family continued living their lives as though their first-born was still with them.

Her mother, Rosanna Beraldine, kept reminders of Lucia with her at all times, including a photo of her daughter as her cellphone background.

Beraldine even kept Lucia’s birth certificate in her wallet, alongside her other two daughters’ birth certificates and her own, as a way to have Lucia with her everywhere she went. “(She) was with me always, all the time,” Beraldine said. “It just makes me feel like she’s (Lucia) coming with me wherever I go, like she used to.”

In 2008, the family lived in a gated community in Burnaby. On Christmas Eve, Lucia was playing in the snow with the other kids in the complex when a neighbour backed out of their driveway and struck the four-year-old.

The freak accident left a hole in the family and carrying Lucia’s birth certificate with her was comforting to Beraldine. It was a reminder that one day their family would be whole again, after this life has ended, she said.

But on Sunday afternoon Beraldine and her family suffered another heartbreak.

Beraldine’s wallet in which she kept Lucia’s birth certificate was stolen from the Bonsor Recreation Centre during a kids’ swap meet.

From 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., Beraldine managed a table at the swap meet. She kept her purse on a chair under her jacket, and she tucked the chair under her table while she spoke with customers.

A lack of security at facilities like Kinder Morgan’s Westridge Marine Terminal poses a threat to public safety, says an SFU security expert.

Douglas Ross, of Simon Fraser’s political science department, said the ease with which Greenpeace activists occupied the oil terminal last Wednesday illustrates the vulnerability of Canadian industrial sites.

Ross said corporations are unlikely to spend big bucks on security until after an incident takes place.

“Security all around, all the time, is really expensive,” said Ross. “Until an incident happens, corporations are unlikely to pay what is necessary to protect highly sensitive sites such as refineries, pipelines – incredibly vulnerable, given (the) vast size and mostly in remote locations – chemical storage facilities or transportation equipment.”

While local oil facilities, such as the Chevron refinery and the Trans Mountain pipeline terminus, have been in place for decades, Ross would like to see these kinds of facilities located away from populated areas.

“Pre 9/11, nobody was thinking about home-grown terrorists potentially getting a hold of trucks loaded with explosives, gasoline bombs or things like that to wreak havoc in a facility like that. That’s Pipeline Page 10

HAFEZ TEA HOUSE WANTS TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE SMOKING SERVICE

Burnaby hookah lounge in limbo Stefania Seccia staff reporter

A traditional hookah lounge is stuck between a rock and a hard place – namely Fraser Health and the city – while their business is going up in smoke.

Hafez Tea House recently moved locations and has a business license pending, but because of the city’s smoking bylaw requiring a smoking room on its premises, the family who owns the nowclosed hookah lounge appealed to council to change the bylaw at Monday night’s meeting.

In 2004, the business had run into the same issue and was nearly shut down by Fraser Health, which enforces the city’s smoking bylaw, but council was able to make an exception so the business could operate.

“I’m here today speaking on behalf of my family, to be granted an exemption from the city bylaw enforced by Fraser Health Authority that is holding us back from operating our traditional tea house that has been part of the Burnaby community for about 12 years approximately,” Honeyeh Adibi-Larijani, daughter of the tea house owner, said to council.

Adibi-Larijani noted the purpose of the business is to provide hookah and Persian tea to its patrons in a traditional setting that replicates the Middle East, Turkey, India and Egypt.

“The reason why we’re here today is because earlier this year, shortly after our licence was renewed by the city, our landlord sold the building we were operating out of and the new owner refused to renew our licence that was expiring, in order to redevelop,” she said. “So after 12 years of operating out of that location, we were forced to relocate.”

The tea house found a new location near the corner of Sperling Avenue and Hastings Street, Adibi-Larijani said, but history repeated itself, and the business once again needs an exemption from the smoking bylaw.

“We don’t have non-smokers that enter our premises,” she said.

“They’re entering an establishment that is strictly for smoking.

If we build a separate smoking room, our patrons will only be restricted to smoke, and we will not be permitted to serve water or tea, which is an integral part of the

“We have to level an investigation to look into an amendment and take that through a correction process, to see if that would be approved at a correction level,” he said, adding that Fraser Health may have to approve it.

Burnaby council asked staff to come back with a report on the issue quickly, to see if the business can be accommodated without getting into trouble with the health authority.

“I’m a little more interested in how Port Moody’s doing it, if they’re accommodating it, because it will be close to us,” Corrigan added. “They’re under the local government act, and they’re going to be dealing with Fraser Health.”

However, a Fraser Health Authority inspector said it’s only enforcing the Burnaby bylaw and not its own policy.

and he said the city’s bylaw was revised in 1997.

He told the Burnaby NOW that the provincial rules are based around tobacco smoke, whereas the city bylaw includes hookah smoke.

“In the Burnaby bylaw, it talks about smoking anything,” he said.

The interpretation comes down to whether or not the business is a private club or open to the public. If it’s open to the public, then it needs a smoking room, according to Stewart.

Stewart said Hafez Tea House was

evicted from its previous place because the building was undergoing a redevelopment and it was working with Fraser Health to get a new spot that would comply with Burnaby’s bylaw.

However, a few weeks ago Stewart said they found Hafez had opened to the public but had not received Fraser Health’s approval, so it was shut down.

“We found them operating two weeks ago, and we closed them down,” he added. “From my perspective, we were still working with them, … then all of a sudden they were open

without our approval. It’s a bit of a challenge.”

He said the operation has also changed as it now has a stage for entertainment, which goes against the strict guidelines of a smoking room as it only allows for smoking equipment to be present in the completely separated room – and nothing else.

“We had to take some action on them just so they would go through the normal approval process,” he said.

“We’ve been working with the city to get this done up until the last couple of months.”

assumed it was the safest place for it (the purse),” she said.

As the day went by, the sale got busier and busier. The recreation centre had a lineup of customers waiting to check out the different tables.

“They let in 200 people at one time, and that’s what you want, so it was all good,” she said.

It wasn’t until later that night, around 9 p.m. while Beraldine was at her parents’ house, that she noticed the wallet was gone.

Hoping she had just left the wallet at home or misplaced it, Beraldine scoured her own home and called

Bonsor, hoping someone had turned it in. Unfortunately no one had turned it in, and it wasn’t in her house.

Beraldine figures someone must have taken the wallet from her purse while she was distracted.

“I’m assuming that something happened when I was busy and not looking. I was quite shocked that someone was able to just slip in there and take it (the wallet),” she said.

While Beraldine has no hope of getting her money or credit cards back – she has already cancelled them and applied for new ID for her other kids as well as herself – she, and her husband Len, are desperate to get Lucia’s

Cozmos eat-drink

original birth certificate back.

“I’m hoping that someone or whoever has it, if they’ve dumped it and somebody finds it that they just turn it in,” Beraldine said. “That birth certificate is the most important thing in that (wallet).”

Beraldine’s wallet is a mix of black patent leather and plain leather with a silver plate on the front and Nine West engraved into the plate.

Beraldine is asking anyone who may have found the wallet to return it with her daughter’s birth certificate inside to the Bonsor Recreation Centre or call the Burnaby RCMP at 604-2947922.

OUR VIEW

when economic reality got in the way.

Such legislation always has more to do with politics than with fiscal prudence. The loopholes yawn large, even at a first blush. Who defines a “normal economic time?” Or an “event of economic crisis?” Most of the last five years could fit into the latter category.

The Conservatives will likely pack the legislation into another omnibus bill, which the opposition parties will

vote against. So we’ll likely see Tory attack ads next spring, spinning a tale about the Liberals and New Democrats being against balanced budgets.

The fact is the government can’t legislate its finances into the black any more than it can legislate crime away.

Most governments run deficits when times are tough and create surpluses during boom times. But that’s based on reality, not special legislation.

Obviously, it wasn’t ideal, but it wasn’t catastrophic, either.

The Americans’ final problem is one we’re more familiar with – gerry mandering. We’ve mostly gotten away from it by appointing independent committees of retired judges to draw our electoral boundaries. In the U.S., the lawmakers draw them, with blatant parti-

san interest. This means they have created a vast number of safe Democrat or Republican seats, which means that the real choice is not between two parties, but between the sane wing and crazy wing of each party. A lot of congressional districts have been picking the crazy option for some time, increasing distrust, polarization, and extremism, especially on the Republican side of the aisle.

There’s a lot to fix, and we’d better hope they can repair at least some of these problems. If they

can’t, then eventually someone will push that big red button, and that will do bad things to the world’s economy. Not just recession bad, but potentially Mad Max, wearing hockey padding as armour, eating dog food, and scouring the wasteland for gasoline bad.

I’d like to think the Americans won’t let that happen, but that big red button is looking pretty shiny …

Village gets spooky

Stefania Seccia staff reporter

It’s getting colder, cobwebs are getting thicker, black cats are on the prowl, pumpkins are lit and Burnaby Village Museum is ready to become undead.

This year, things are getting ghoulish at the local museum, and people can expect some eerie spectres to randomly make an appearance, according to Nancy Stagg, marketing coordinator for the Burnaby Village Museum.

“There’s lots of details, people see the big picture, they see the village decorated,” Stagg told the Burnaby NOW. “If they are mindful and observant, there’s a lot of detail that our staff had fun putting together.”

From Oct. 25 to 27, 6 to 9 p.m., the museum gets a bewitching makeover the public can take advantage of – with new ghostly displays, a new shipment of eyeballs in the optometrist’s shop, the Voodoo café and a whack of new products such as graveyard gravel and snake oil available at the General Store.

“One of the things we do each time is

gather people on Main Street and we have (DJ Count Cadavre) hosting the boneshaker ball,” Stagg said. “We gather up people when the music starts, and we encourage all of the visitors to come and join the dance. It gives a chance each night for parents to get their wiggles out.”

Stagg also says the decorations will feature some ethereal illusions as a new staff member with a design and theatrical background used his experience to create creepy things.

The illusions will be complemented by the hired entertainers who help liven, or scare, up the streets.

“The host this year is Lady Grey, and she has a special costume made up for her.

Our costumes are eerie, delightful, and there’s always a bit of whimsy in them.”

About four or five museum staffers have been busy coming up with concepts and a framework for the Halloween event since the beginning of the year.

Tickets are available at the door, but they can also be bought online at www. burnabyvillagemuseum.ca. Tickets include trick-or-treating for the younger set and unlimited carousel rides for everyone.

All coats will be distributed directly to Burnaby children and youth in need by the Rotary Club of Burnaby Metrotown.

B.C. children missing out on music education Some schools lacking music and trained teachers Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

For Burnaby mom Corina Kuban, music education is an important part of her children’s development.

Kuban has three kids, two of which attend Burnaby’s Suncrest elementary, where students have regular music classes.

“They love it. They do a lot of musical games. I think it’s a nice break from the more sit-in-your-desk academic work, and I really feel they are learning a lot,” Kuban says. “Studies have shown that it does help the brain to develop.”

But according to a new report, released Friday (today) by the B.C. Music Educators’ Association (one of many specialist associations affiliated with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation) British Columbia’s children are not getting their recommended dose of quality musical instruction.

Suncrest music teacher Pam Hetrick was part of a group that authored the report, Speaking Out for Elementary Music Education, which was based on surveys sent to every school district in the province.

The authors were trying to figure out whether music was being offered in elementary schools, and if the teachers were properly trained in the subject.

According to Hetrick, they received a 93 per cent response rate, and two significant findings emerged.

“There is a need for continued advocacy in this area. It isn’t getting taught in all schools, and the other key thing that emerged is a need for quality elementary music education,” she told the NOW. According to the report’s findings, music is not taught in all B.C. schools, or in some cases, it’s taught by people who lack proper training.

Part of the problem, according to Hetrick, is that music instruction for elementary students used to be offered in universities, but about 10 years ago, the Teacher Regulation Branch (formerly known as the B.C. College of Teachers) decided that elementary music was not a teachable subject for certification.

“The result, as you can imagine, is universities don’t have elementary music teaching courses.

There’s no way for a teacher to be certified in that subject because it doesn’t exist, yet there are still (music teaching) jobs, so it’s not a good situation,” Hetrick said.

Hetrick would like to see the Teacher Regulation Branch consider music a teachable subject for the elementary school level, more government funding for properly trained music teachers, and proper space in schools for music teachers to do their jobs.

“Clearly, we are not serving our children if we are not doing this, if we don’t have this for them. There’s no end of research on how important it is to have music for children,” she said.

Burnaby, however, is an exception to the rule.

According to Hetrick, music is taught in every local elementary school, thanks to a previous administrator who ensured well-trained music teachers were hired for each school.

While Kuban is happy her children are learning about music in Burnaby, she finds B.C.’s lack of consistent, quality musical education problematic.

“I think it’s a real loss for our culture. I feel there are fairly few things that unite us as Canadians, and I think music could help unite us,” Kuban said.

The report, Speaking Out for Elementary Music Education, will be released today at the B.C. Teachers’ Federation development conference for its 32 provincial specialists associations. jmoreau@burnabynow.com

Pipeline: Security concerns raised continued from page 1

nal.

Alan Dutton of BROKE said while he has security concerns about the entire Kinder Morgan pipeline system, his main concern is natural disasters.

“We know that the West Coast is due for a major seismic event, … yet Kinder Morgan is planning to dramatically expand a tank farm on the side of Burnaby Mountain not systematically studied for risk of seismic event,” said Dutton.

“It makes no sense whatsoever to expand a tank farm on the side of a mountain in a seismically active area or to try to push big oil tankers through Second

Narrows, or building a new pipeline through residential areas near schools and licensed daycares. It’s a bad idea from start to finish.”

Meanwhile, the RCMP investigation into the Greenpeace seizure of the terminal is ongoing and it’s too early to say if charges will be laid against the 16 activists.

RCMP spokesperson Sgt. Peter Thiessen said a team of investigators is still going over the evidence to see whether charges should be recommended to Crown counsel. As of Thursday, none of the activists have been charged, according to Greenpeace.

the dilemma,” he said.

Governments are also unlikely to spend the kind of money it would take to ensure Canada’s infrastructure is secure, according to Ross.

“So unless there’s a tremendous amount of local agitation, I don’t think you’re going to see anything,” he said. “I think it’s highly unlikely. I guess we’ll just have to cross our fingers and hope for the best.”

On Wednesday, Oct. 16, Greenpeace succeeded in sending in a team of 16 activists to chain themselves to the Westridge Marine Terminal’s front gates and pumping equipment without any interference from facility security.

As a result of the incident, Kinder Morgan has launched a review of its security measures, which should be complete in a couple of weeks.

Many Burnaby residents have expressed concerns over security at the termi-

Cleaning up: Burnaby South and Moscrop high school students took to the streets on Sunday, tidying the area around Royal Oak SkyTrain station.

City students take on neighbourhood trash Stefania Seccia staff reporter

In a case beyond keeping their rooms clean, a large group of Burnaby high school students rallied to take out the trash at a local SkyTrain station.

On Sunday, Royal Oak station had many students filling garbage bags to the brim in an effort to clean up their local streets, according to Diane Gillis, president of the Kingsway Imperial Neighbourhood Association. The students spent about three hours cleaning up the area.

“The energy was just fabulous, the willingness. I think it was an array of ages,” Gillis told the Burnaby NOW. “It was amazing, the enthusiasm. They were just right into it.”

Gillis said the student group had invited her out to participate in the cleanup because her community group organizes one every year.

“I joined them for the cleanup and was so impressed by their enthusiasm and hard work, which really has benefited the community,” she said. “Working alongside this group not only put a polish on the neighbourhood, it also put a shine on our future.”

Unidentifiable broken parts of things, cans and containers were among the trash collected, but there was also some drug paraphernalia picked up, Gillis said.

“There was less (drugs) than in previous years, though,” Gillis noted. “I also called

the Transit Police and Burnaby RCMP to tell them about the Moscrop group who initiated this tremendous cleanup and if they wanted to stop by, and they both stopped by.”

The Grade 11 student who led the cleanup, Aishwi Roshan, said it was a coming together from Moscrop Secondary’s environmental club and Leo club, and Burnaby South’s Interact volunteer team.

The group of 60 high school students of all ages filled more than 20 trash bags with food containers, wrappers, potato chip bags and, in one case, a whole rug, from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Oct. 20.

“I thought a community cleanup was the easiest way to get the community involved for the environmental effort,” Roshan told the NOW. Roshan was involved in the new environmental mural on Beresford Street and wanted to do a community cleanup.

“We felt we needed to take a collective effort,” she said. “When we think of the environment, we think it’s a huge project … that would cost so much money to save the world. We think about it as something abstract and far away, and we’ll never reach the long-term goal. I wanted to make it clear … that there are small steps we can take in reaching this goal, it’s not something so far away. We can reach it in a few years if we do it collectively and reach out to our community.”

Roshan said she hopes to do a cleanup every season.

World stage: From left, Michel Laberge, Doug Richardson and Lon McIlwraith of General Fusion, a Burnaby-based company currently researching fusion as an alternative energy source.

General Fusion invited to global energy meet Board member from Burnaby nuclear fusion company spoke at recent conference about energy in South Korea Stefania Seccia staff reporter

A Burnaby-based company that would change how the world gets power sent a representative to speak at a world energy conference last week.

General Fusion was invited to speak as a discussion leader at the 22nd World Energy Congress held in Daegu, South Korea from Oct. 13 to 17, which is recognized as the globe’s leading global energy market conference.

“To be invited to the World Energy Congress, alongside the leaders of the largest international fusion projects, demonstrates the growing level of interest around the globe in General Fusion’s magnetized target fusion technology and its superior potential for commercialization,” said Doug Richardson, General Fusion’s CEO and chief technology officer, in a media release.

Jacques Besnainou represented General Fusion at the conference. He is a current board member and former president and

CEO of AREVA, where he set the direction for its nuclear renewable energy business in North America.

Although General Fusion was established in 2002 with the intention of producing a generator to create a clean, safe and abundant energy source, it was under fire two years ago when a University of British Columbia nuclear theorist came forward to say what the company was doing was potentially quite dangerous and risking people’s lives.

The company, which is still in its research phase, was deemed safe by the city since the nuclear fusion power plant was not yet up and running.

If and when General Fusion is ready to test the generator, with any nuclear reaction involved, it would need the approval from the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission.

Unlike nuclear reactors, fusion energy does not require uranium and is therefore not prone to the same form of meltdowns as nuclear power plants – as seen most recently in Fukushima, Japan.

Nuclear fusion has been described by General Fusion as “a process in which hydrogen atoms are fused together to form helium. The reaction releases significant amounts of heat, which can be used to generate electricity using traditional steam turbines.”

The evolution of an erudite rapper Baba Brinkman is bringing his awardwinning show to the stage at The Cultch Don Hauka staff reporter

You say you want an evolution? Well, you know, you should go see Baba Brinkman’s show at The Cultch.

The erudite Burnaby-bred Brinkman is bringing his award winning off-Broadway hit show, The Rap Guide to Evolution, to the Historic Theatre at The Cultch Oct. 29 to Nov. 10.

With pieces like I’m an African and Darwin’s Acid, this is science with an insightful edge. And it’s probably the only scientifically peer-reviewed rap show – every bit of the science has been factchecked.

That’s hardly surprising because the show started after an exchange between Brinkman and biologist Dr. Mark Pallen, author of The Rough Guide to Evolution. Pallen was among a number of biologists who saw a performance of Brinkman’s Rap Canterbury Tales several years ago. Impressed as they were with what the rapper had done, they dared him to do more.

“They said, well, Chaucer’s fine, but what about Darwin? I thought it was a neat idea so I said, sign me up!” Brinkman told the Burnaby NOW in an interview from New York, where he now lives.

The result is a show that won the Scotsman Fringe First Award for Best New Theatre Writing at the 2009 Edinburgh Fringe Festival and enjoyed a sold out run off-Broadway. The Cultch production is the first time the full theatric show has been performed at a major venue in

The Burnaby-bred Brinkman first made headlines for his video, Rap Canterbury Tales and has since followed up with the Rap Guide to Evolution. scan with Canada.

Brinkman has toured his evolutionary guide extensively and is just embarking on a tour of New Zealand.

He says he gets some of his biggest kicks performing I’m an African! for a wide variety of audiences. The rap tune is based on DNA mapping that shows all humans are descended from an “African Eve.”

He says strange and magical things happen when he asks the audience to sing along.

“A lot of the time, white crowds start off very timid, but a catharsis happens, and they get into it, and then you’ve got all these guys pumping their fists in the air and getting into it and screaming, ‘I’m an African!’” he said.

“Sometimes, someone will

walk in late and stand at the back and see 200 people shouting ‘I’m an African!’ and they’ll have this look on their face like, ‘What the hell is going on here?’ I love that.”

Brinkman says the show itself is constantly evolving, based on the feedback from the scientists, the audience and reactions he gets when he tries different things.

You wouldn’t expect anything

less from an artist who compares himself to a single-celled organism.

“I’m like an amoeba, just putting out feelers, sensing what’s out there, seeing the options and reacting to the feedback,” he said.

wo Canadian mystery authors are teaming up for an evening of readings and discussion at the McGill branch of Burnaby Public Library.

It’s happening on Thursday, Nov. 7 from

7 to 8 p.m. at the library, 4595 Albert St. The evening brings together Miriam Clavir and Glynis Whiting.

A press release notes that Clavir’s first novel, Insinuendo: Murder in the Museum, is set in the Museum of Anthropology at the University of British Columbia. In her first job as an artifacts conservator, Berry Cates investigates a visiting expert’s death in her lab – and finds the police investigation pointing her way.

Whiting’s first novel,

A Nose for Death, features chemist and food designer Dr. Joan “Nosey” Parker, who returns to her hometown for a high school reunion. When a former classmate is found stabbed to death in his motel room, Joan tops the list of suspects – and her celebrated ability to identify scents will either clear her name or lead to her own death.

The discussion night is free, but books will be available to purchase (cash only). You must register in advance since space is limited.

Call 604-299-8955 or see www.bpl.bc.ca/events/ mcgill, or stop by the library to register in person.

Wall Candy

Art lovers, don’t forget to visit the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts this weekend.

The Burnaby Artists Guild is presenting Wall Candy, an exhibition and sale of original art, from Oct. 25 to 27.

It opens Friday night from 7 to 10 p.m., and the exhibition continues

Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The show includes work by featured artist Violet Cullen and members of the artists’ guild.

It will include artwork in a variety of mediums and styles, as well as fridge magnets, original greeting cards, on-the-spot portraits and a raffle of an original framed painting.

For more details, check out www.burnabyartists guild.com – or just swing by the Shadbolt Centre, at 6450 Deer Lake Ave., to

check it out in person.

Art of inclusion

Also for art lovers, a Burnaby-based association is holding the ninth annual Inclusion Art Show on Oct. 29 at Vancouver’s Heritage Hall.

The community living organization posAbilities holds the show to celebrate the work of B.C. artists with developmental disabilities.

“It gives people the opportunity to see what kind of art we can do,”

photographer Ken McLean said in a press release.

“To know that somebody else can appreciate my work too feels really good,” added painter and potter Amy Chan.

The show includes more than 500 pieces of art created by about 200 artists in a variety of media – pottery, painting, photography, glasswork, jewelry, textiles and handdrawn greeting cards.

This year’s work is channeling the spirit of the ‘60s with a Feelin’ Groovy theme.

It’s happening on Tuesday, Oct. 29 from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m. at Vancouver Heritage Hall, 3102 Main St. For more information about posAbilities, check out their website at www.posAbilities.ca. The group’s offices are at 2404664 Lougheed Hwy. in Burnaby.

Rehearsals set

Regular readers may remember recent mentions of Kevin Takahide Lee, the Burnaby resident who has started up a choir to help people practise English language skills.

The choir is open to everyone aged 13 and up, with special focus on those who want to practise English – be they newcomers, longtime residents from various cultural communities, seniors or anyone else.

The multicultural, multigenerational choir is meeting at the Nikkei National Museum and Cultural Centre.

At last writing, rehearsal time hadn’t been firmed up, but it now has – it’s Saturdays from 3:45 to 4:45 p.m. in Room 210 at the Nikkei Centre.

For more, check out Lee’s website at www. miusc.ca (yes, that’s “miusc” – it’s music with a twist, as Lee says).

Space for music

You could say Emm Gryner’s a bit of a space cadet. But the Canadian singer/songwriter who became a YouTube sensation this year thanks to her collaboration with Commander Chris Hadfield will be firmly rooted to the ground at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts Nov. 1.

The thrice-Juno-nominated Gryner beings her out-of-the-world show to the Shadbolt for one night only. Her Canadiana folkroots trio, Trent Severn, became the first band to get a phone call from space when Hadfield dialed in from the International Space Station during one of their shows.

In May, Gryner collaborated with Hadfield on his cover of David Bowie’s Space Oddity, which was partially recorded on the orbiting station. The video has been viewed on YouTube nearly 18 million times.

Not bad, but you wouldn’t expect less from an artist who has released 10 carefully crafted albums and earned the envy of no less a star than Bono.

If the approach of winter has you thinking about curling up with a good book, the Burnaby Public Library can help.

The McGill branch in North Burnaby is holding a Librarians’ Choice: Winter Reads event on Saturday, Nov. 16 from 2 to 3:30 p.m.

Librarians will present their fast-paced reviews of fiction and non-fiction books for winter reading.

It’s free, but space is limited. Register online at www.bpl.bc.ca/events/ mcgill, call 604-299-8955, or pop in to the library at 4595 Albert St. to register in person.

Everyone is welcome, and refreshments will be served.

Do you have an item for Lively City? Send emails to Julie, jmaclellan@burnaby now.com, or find her on Twitter, @juliemaclellan.

Burnaby filmmaker launches movie in Austin

A Burnaby filmmaker is launching his new feature-length comedy at the Austin Film Festival this week.

Ace Dixon is having the world premiere of Mop King at the 20th Austin Film Festival, running Oct. 24 to 31.

Dixon, a graduate of Simon Fraser University’s film program, decided to make a film when he injured his back.

“Laying on his bed with a herniated disc, with a recovery time of over a year, Ace decided to create a feature-length film,” he explains on indiegogo.com, where he’s running a fundraising campaign to help with promotion and travel costs.

He got Felix Oltean – a cinematographer he knew from film school – on board, and Mop King was born. The film is about a freelance maid who still lives with his parents.

When his parents vacation to Maui, he runs into a drifter girl who changes the maid business forever.

“It’s an irreverent comedy full of outrageous characters and provides insight into the self-made maid,” the indiegogo write-

up explains.

The film was shot in Burnaby and the Greater Vancouver area using local cast and crew members.

“We made the film on scraps, and from the help of a cast and crew that contributed in a family-like manner,” the filmmakers explain on indiegogo. “Screening at the Austin Film Festival is a great opportunity to gain exposure for the film and build an audience. We hope to gain some contacts that can make Mop King accessible to a wider audience and be available on several platforms.”

But, they note, “We’re the little guys among big players. The 2013 lineup is impressive, with Mop King being screened alongside the films of the Coen Brothers, Alexander Payne, Steve McQueen and James Franco. We need your help to get to Austin and to get noticed.”

To find out more about the fundraising campaign, search for Mop King at indiegogo.com. You can also find out more about the film at www.mopkingmovie.com.

Halloween Safety Tips

• Go in groups. Children can be accompanied by their parents while older children should be encouraged to trick-or-treat in groups.

• Use a flashlight. When trick-ortreating at night, take steps to improve visibility.

• Walk on sidewalks. Avoid walking in the street, where the risk of being hit by a car is considerable.

• Avoid distractions. Trick-or-treaters should not be wearing earbuds or talking on a phone while trick-ortreating.

• Do not enter homes. If an adult or even a youngster whom a child does not know offers entry to the home, the trick-ortreater should not enter.

• Consume only factorywrapped treats. * Wear well-fitting shoes.

Shoes that are uncomfortable or loose can cause children to fall and risk injury.

• Adults should drive carefully.

Drive slowly and pay attention to the roads.

WHEELS Deals Not the sleepy sedan David Chao contributor

The roadways used to be dominated by full-size sedans. That was because back in 1960s, ’70s, and even ’80s, people appreciated the roominess and the feel of large, powerful engines these cars offered.

However, these cars also had poor fuel economy, and due to rising gas prices, sales of full-size sedans dropped dramatically and eventually the traditional rear-wheeldrive full size sedans simply vanished.

Now we are blessed to have a new generation of full-size cars that offer almost as much interior space without sacrificing fuel efficiency or reliability.

However, many people have forgotten that Toyota even offers a true fullsize sedan – in the form of Avalon. This is not uncommon for a lot of automakers. A flagship is tasked more with being

the face of the brand than it is with selling in large volumes.

Toyota has given the Avalon a major refresh, and it’s one they should be proud of. It should even draw the attention of people who may not normally consider a Toyota sedan – yes, the Avalon is so good inside and out that it may draw buyers from the likes of Audi and BMW showrooms.

Design

The Avalon used to be a stretched Camry, marketed towards the retirement community. Toyota has decided to take a step in a different direction with the new Avalon.

It features smart phone connectivity and has classleading fuel economy to attract younger buyers.

The large lower grill catches your eye first.

Right away there’s no questioning that this is a different Avalon.

What should also be noted is the price. The

Toyota sedan: The

new Toyota Avalon sedan has a fresh design that incorporates what a modern family is looking for in convenience and fuel efficiency.

base model, known as the XLE, is very well equipped and starts at $36,800.

Something the older and younger clientele will both appreciate.

Performance

The dramatic changes didn’t end with just the Avalon’s appearance. The new car drives much more like a modern European sedan than a traditional Japanese one. The Avalons of the past were never considered driver cars, but this one can be.

The standard V6 boasts 268-hp and 248 ft-lbs of torque, which is enough to spin the front tires if you don’t restrain your right foot. This is not an all-new engine, but it is tried and tested and has shown to be extremely reliable. As mentioned earlier, the Avalon’s fuel economy is very good with a combined 8.3L/100 km.

Switch to “sport” mode and the steering feels a little heavier and athletic – it is quite firm and planted

overall. Like most Toyotas, steering still feels a bit numb and artificial, but overall it has great handling character.

The most surprising change in the new Avalon is the ride.

It’s very smooth and quiet, but the suspension is also tuned very firmly.

Therefore, the Avalon corners sharply for a large sedan. However, because the suspension is quite firm, the ride can be a bit harsh at times.

It’s a question whether loyal customers will approve of the sprightliness of the new Avalon.

Environment

Contributed/burnaby now

Despite all the changes, the Avalon still offers a roomy, comfortable cabin.

Ergonomics are great, and a lot of the electronic controls are now also more European in style.

This may be a significant change for past customers, but nevertheless, this car is still a Toyota and all of the controls are still reasonably easy to use.

The rear passengers enjoy a considerable amount of leg and shoulder room.

The Avalon is available in two models with the XLE starting at $36,800 and the Limited starting at $38,900.

Standard equipment includes navigation, dualzone climate control, Bluetooth, keyless entry, push-button start, power adjustable exterior mirrors with memory and a power moonroof.

Fuel efficiency numbers are 9.9 city and 6.4 highway (L/100 km).

The Bottom Line

The 2014 Toyota Avalon is a surprisingly delightful European-like sedan.

A

bold structure that captures the drama of city, mountains, forest and sky.The home is sited such that it appears to be part of the landscape itself.This landmark home has become known locally as the castle on the hill. Designed by an outstanding architect and taking nearly three years in planning and construction, the residence of approximately 4,500 square feet features a masterful combination of light, form and function and is located in a neighborhood of multi-million dollar homes.The main floor design is based on octagonal themed room shapes with two eight sided, three story “pagoda” towers and an open-plan layout unlike any other home you may find. High-scale design is complemented by attention to the smallest of details, both indoors and out.

The result is a private enclave overlooking Deer Lake and set against the Coastal Mountain backdrop that affords an unrivaled setting for a private weekend, a quiet evening at home or a gala event for up to 100 guests.

Nothing in this residence is ordinary, beginning with the curved, pull-thru driveway and a front entry with Baldwin Brass hardware and a beautiful octagonal entry rotunda with crystal lighting. Finishes found throughout the 21-room interior have been updated to include hardwood floors, pure-wool carpets, granite, marble, gold plated fixtures, mirror walls, and a textured beachstone floor in the pool room. Four fireplaces and all the necessary convenient amenities add to the ambiance. From the double-height living room, ideal for displaying your art works, and the octagonal dining room with step-down teak antique bar, to the family room with its granite fireplace and dazzling view to the Coast Mountains, the home extends a dramatic welcome to friends and family alike. Enjoy the large, peninsula island, entertainment style kitchen with views of the private, secluded garden, five bedrooms and even a private reading library, rising from the living room, for those times when you just want to hide away. The conveniently located main floor home laundry room was designed with space for the addition of a

second kitchen area if required or it can be used as an office area in its current configuration.

The master bedroom provides a romantic master retreat, the highlights of which are the glass-walled sitting area that captures the secluded view and leads to a tranquil deck in the trees, and a marble fireplace. A large, mirrored walk-in closet and a lavish ensuite with glass shower, double sinks, soaker tub and travertine marble slab floor complete the suite.

An open tread solid oak stairway leads you up from the main floor to an open-plan loft area with two large spaces, adaptable for your use as a home office, studio area, media room or a play room. Indoor-outdoor living is provided by a total of five stone/cedar decks plus a garden level patio. The patio adjoins the indoor saltwater pool that is surrounded by decks of seeded stone from a California beach.

The pool room has Iarge plate glass walls, hot-tub and a cascading waterfall. From here you can walk out to the mature serene gardens. Adjacent to the pool is your personal training room/gym/ballet room and a kitchen/bar with entertaining area and shower/change room.

The property also features a private, secluded rooftop deck where you can enjoy the breathtaking views to Deer Lake, Vancouver, the North Shore and Simon Fraser Mountain.

Central nips Chargers for banner Tom Berridge sports editor

A late first-half goal by Alex Chima stood up as the game-winner as the Burnaby Central Wildcats defeated the Cariboo Hill Chargers 2-1 in the BNW high school soccer final Wednesday.

Chima’s harmless-looking shot from outside the 18-yard-box deflected on its way to the goal and beat Cariboo keeper Mankirat Grewal to the near post.

The win gave Central the district banner and some redemption for past indiscretions that led to a suspension from the provincials a year ago.

“It means a lot more for the team to come back from being suspended and coming back this way is awesome,” said Central defender Duncan Penman.

“It’s hard to come back after that. It’s nice to have a second chance.”

That second chance will come on Tuesday, Nov. 5, when Central will take on the winner of the North Shore league in a AAA zone showdown.

Parker Ellis got Central off to a quick start with the game’s first goal.

Later in the first half, Chima doubled the score with his game-winning strike.

Ellis was unlucky to come away empty on a late first-half break after Grewal outguessed the crafty striker inside the

Midway through the second half, a blistering Cariboo Hill free kick from the corner of the 18-yard box by Alberto Pincelli was deflected by Central keeper Trevor Hughes right to Belguim international student Anton Wouters, who guided the ball into the back of the net.

Grewal kept the

by Duncan Penman that could have sewn things up for Central.

But despite throwing everyone forward, Cariboo was unable to score the equalizer against Central’s solid back line.

Chima said the spirited finish by both teams proved just how much

winning the district banner meant to both teams.

“For sure, (Central) won the banner in our junior year. It meant a lot to the seniors on our team to bring it home again,” Chima said.

The loss was not the end of the line for the Cariboo Hill team.

The Chargers will also have the opportunity to

qualify for the provincial championships, when they take on the North Shore AA champion in Burnaby on Nov. 5.

“By winning the provincials we can erase this loss,” said Wouters. “But this comes hard. We got to get our heads up and win the provincials. A couple of good individuals (on Central) killed us.”

EDC Burnaby a point shy of premier lead Tom Berridge

sports editor

Too much respect may have cost EDC FC Burnaby the overall lead in the Vancouver Metro Soccer League.

The second-year premier division club played to a third consecutive draw, tying first-place and defending league champion Columbus 1-1 at Burnaby Lake Sports Complex-West last Friday.

“There was too much respect for both teams,” said Burnaby head coach Claudio Ramirez.

“They know we’re a good team, … in a short time, we have made a name for ourselves.”

Burnaby’s Admir Salihovic, who scored the game-tying goal for the former Estrella de Chile club, set up teammates Habil Otieno and Rizal Ganief for two excellent chances in the opening

half that went wanting.

Columbus scored first when Kazunori Kikuchi deflected a Blair Robertson cross past Burnaby keeper Michael Newton.

Salihovic got that goal back in the 30th minute, tying the contest on his own rebound after a set up from Eric Ray and Otieno.

Early in the second half, Steve DeBlasio came close to giving Columbus the lead, ringing a shot off the crossbar.

Later in the half, the Italians went a man down, but Burnaby was unable to come away with the three points, despite scoring opportunities from Ylya Malek and Ganief, who is currently on a scoring tear with 11 goals in his first seven games.

The draw left unbeaten Burnaby club with 13 points and a secondplace record of 3-0-4.

Burnaby Lake Rugby Club remained unbeaten premier division play following as 27-10 win over UBC Old Boys at home on Saturday.

The win left the Burnaby club with nine points and a single point behind the University of Victoria Vikings, which picked up an extra bonus point in their 34-23 win over Capilano over the weekend.

The Old Boys and James Bay, which Burnaby Lake defeated in the season opener a week earlier, are tied for third place with five points apiece.

“We’ve been needing a competitive game and Saturday was a real challenge,” said Burnaby head coach Kris de Scossa.

With front row forward Micha Gorvorchin and winger Joe Dolesau on assignment with Canada’s national team at the Americas Rugby Championship, de Scossa was pleased with how some of the younger players filled in.

“Where we benefit is we’re in the fourth year of a five-year plan to develop our own local players, and we’ve got better, better and better,” he said. “They are players committed to train full time. They’re dedicated to play a sport that they love.”

Brian Murphy scored his club-best third try of the early season, while Geoff Ryan tallied 15 points, including a brilliant dummy try in the first half to lead all Lakers with 29 total points to date.

Ryan Ackerman also bulled his way into the end zone for Burnaby’s only try of the second half.

Burnaby Lake’s first division men also won their second straight game to start the season, blanking the Old Boys 65-0.

In the third division, Burnaby Lake defeated Simon Fraser University MOB 32-5.

The premier women lost to Kamloops 30-27.

Nelson completes its trophy case Road Clan men remain in first ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Tom Berridge sports editor

Nelson Elementary School put the final outstanding banner in an already full trophy case.

The South Burnaby school won its first-ever Burnaby schools’ crosscountry team trophy, following the district championship meet at Burnaby Lake on Oct. 15.

“I haven’t seen our name on the trophy before. It’s not something we’ve done before,” said Nelson teacher and cocoach Clayton Grant. “It’s a big deal.”

Lani Glover had a school-best individual bronze medal in the Grade 6 girls’ race.

Nelson boys also won the Grade 6 plaque and tied with Cascades Elementary for the Grade 5 banner.

But it was a high number of runners finishing in the top 20 from the 60member school team that won the day for Nelson.

Even a couple of Grade 3 runners took part.

“The students were

A real team effort: The Nelson Elementary cross-country team was elated with its first-ever Burnaby district aggregate team trophy. buzzing with excitement when they heard about the win, lots of smiles, cheers and high fives. It was a great way to kick start the year in athletics for our school,” said teacher and co-coach Kinder Mann.

Nelson, which has a tradition of active participation in all elementary school activities, has won championship titles in all the other competitive elementary school sports,

including netball.

“We’ve won boys’ and girls’ volleyball. We’ve won lots of relays at Legion meets and in basketball.

It’s a fun time. We do it all here,” said Grant, who is the unofficial historian for the 101-year-old school.

“It’s just one of those things – (the kids believe) ‘We can do it’ – and we’re not the biggest school,” Grant added.

In fact, the population

at Nelson is only around 300 students, but getting more than a third of the kids to participate in track and field is commonplace, said Grant, who is currently coaching a volleyball team at Nelson that drew 40 kids to take part.

“It’s all part of the fun,” Grant added. “But the kids get that history part and everybody gets to participate. We’ve done it all now.”

Debbie Heard was named the winner of the Hugh Gifford merit award for box lacrosse as manager of the year for the Burnaby Minor association at the B.C. Lacrosse annual awards banquet in Whistler last weekend.

Another Burnaby Minor volunteer Tom Kellett also picked up an award for box lacrosse, receiving the Ruth Seward award for outstanding involvement by an individual. Gord Miller was also a winner of a BCLA Presidents award from Burnaby Minor.

Tri-City NOW sports editor Dan Olson was the winner of the Norm Wright media award.

New Westminster’s Jamie Stewart earned the Art Daoust award for improving the image and stature of box lacrosse in B.C.

Simon Fraser University held on to the lead in Great Northwest conference men’s soccer, despite a draw with lowly University of Mary last week.

The Clan came back to tie Mary 2-2 after being down a goal on two occasions in the contest in North Dakota on Oct. 17.

SFU keeper Brandon Watson was victimized on a first-half interception and then again in the 85th minute on a free kick, before Juan Sanchez sent the game into overtime with a header in the remaining minutes of play.

Joseph Martin tied the game 1-1 in the 81st minute of play.

“Credit to our players for coming back from behind twice, but these are the matches that you need to win on the road,” said SFU head coach Alan Koch in a Clan press release.

The Clan appeared to get the message later in the road trip, blanking South

Dakota School of Mines by a 7-0 score on Saturday.

Jovan Blagojevic and Carlo Basso, with a fourpoint outing, both had two goals in the match.

Blagojevic got the eventual game-winner in the opening minute of the game. Sanchez also scored in the one-sided contest.

Adam Staschuk made the score 3-0 with a goal inside the 20-minute mark.

Colin Jacques also had a strong game, scoring once and adding three assists.

“I was very excited with how our team performed,” added Koch. “We are excited to head home from this long trip and look forward to continuing the conference battle at home next week.”

The three points on the road gave SFU a one-point lead over 6-0-3 Seattle Pacific in conference play.

SFU will play host to Montana State Billings at 3:30 p.m. on Saturday.

Simon Fraser University split a pair of Great Northwest conference women’s volleyball matches against a team from Alaska.

The Clan posted its third conference win last Saturday, bettering the University of Alaska Fairbanks in straight sets at the West Gym on Burnaby Mountain.

Kelsey Robinson led SFU with 16 kills, while Brooklyn Gould-Bradbury recorded 12 assists and nine digs. Tamara Nipp had a team-high 31 assists and Alanna Chan led the team with 10 digs in a 3129, 25-20, 25-18 win.

The night before, conference-leading Alaska Anchorage downed SFU 30 in Burnaby.

Devon May and Mackenzie Dunham had nine and eight kills, respectively, to lead the Clan.

The outcome left the Clan in sixth place in conference play 3-5 record.
