CIVIC POLITICS

Left and right unite to take on the BCA Conservatives and Green Party members form new coalition Cornelia Naylor staff reporter

A seismic shift could be in the works for city politics in Burnaby.

The NOW has learned a new coalition has formed to take on the Burnaby Citizens’ Association juggernaut in November’s civic elections.

Calling itself the Burnaby First Coalition, the new entity is a diverse alliance of former Green, Burnaby Parents’ Voice and TEAM Burnaby faithful, as well as politicos from other levels of government.

“I would say there’s provincial Liberals, there’s probably federal Liberals and there might even be another party or two in there, but it’s not about politics,” said Burnaby First Coalition Society president Daren Hancott, himself a hopeful for the Conservative nomination in the federal riding of Burnaby NorthSeymour. “It’s about representation of the city.

I think this group will better represent the city than the current group, let’s put it that way.”

Besides Hancott, the new coalition’s board includes former independent council candidate Nick Kvenich, former Green provincial and municipal candidate Carrie McLaren, former Burnaby Parents’ Voice spokesperson Heather Leung and local builder-developer Shakila Jeyachandran.

“It’s a very interesting group,” Hancott said with a laugh. “There’s a lot of politics involved, there’s a lot of different levels of politics and there’s a lot of interesting people with no political experience.”

The group has been meeting since last August and is putting the finishing touches on its council platform after recently

Life saver: Jane Thomas, Fraser Health’s first fecal transplant recipient (shown here in her Burnaby home in February

Fecal transplant saved her Fraser Health project on hold after Health Canada says treatment is ‘investigational’ Cornelia Naylor staff reporter

A Burnaby senior who credits a fecal transplant for saving her life four years ago is dismayed the Fraser Health Authority has suspended a pilot program that would have seen the procedure made available to others.

Jane Thomas felt she had nothing left to lose when she agreed to become Fraser Health’s first recipient of a fecal transplant in 2010.

Infected with anti-biotic-resistant Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) at Burnaby Hospital two years earlier, when she was being treated for a bowel obstruction, Thomas had been plagued with infectious diarrhea and lost more than 20 pounds.

“They let me out, and there was nothing more they could do,” she told the NOW Tuesday, “and then I had to go back again because the drugs weren’t helping. I was sick all the time.”

Afraid her patient would die, Thomas’s doctor, Jeanne Keegan-Henry, set out to perform Fraser Health’s first fecal transplant.

She bought a blender from a drug store, labelled it “Don’t Use For Food,” blended up a mix of saline and donor feces provided by Thomas’s daughter, and implanted the solution via a colonoscopy.

The strange treatment is understood to work by balancing out-of-control, toxin-producing C. difficile bacteria with “good” bacteria from healthy donor Transplant Page 8

hat does it take to make the grade in the Burnaby Fire Department?

Burnaby NOW reporter Cayley Dobie sat down with two Burnaby training officers, two of the department’s 2014 recruits and the director of the fire and safety division at the Justice Institute of B.C. to find out what all the fuss was about the Burnaby Fire Department. In this, the second instalment of her series, she talks with John Clune, a new recruit.

magine you had two uncles, and one of your uncles was a police officer and the other was a soldier in the British army.

Now imagine they both wanted you to follow in their footsteps – what would you do?

Well, that was the exact situation John Clune found himself in several years ago, but instead of picking sides, the 24-year-old decided to break from tradition and become a firefighter.

Clune applied to the Burnaby Fire Department recruitment program in August 2012 after attending fire school in Texas.

Clune also completed several courses with WorkSafeBC and the Justice Institute of B.C. and earned a diploma in marketing from BCIT. When the Burnaby Fire Department approved his application, Clune spent nearly a year participating in ride-alongs and interviews with the expectation that he would one day become a firefighter.

So, when Clune was put on a waitlist in 2013, he was worried he hadn’t made it. Lucky for him, the department was so impressed with Clune and the others waitlisted that the fire trainers decided to offer them a second chance.

department to participate in a mini-recruitment session and of that group, seven were hired – Clune was one of them.

In January, Clune and six other recruits began the nine-week recruit training under the guidance of Cpt. Dave Samson and Lt. Darcy O’Riordan.

If we passed through that, we had to do four different ride-along shifts throughout February 2013, and if we passed through that we had to do a physical test and passing through that was a chief’s interview. So all of us did all of that and then we got shortlisted and then they said, ‘OK, we’ll do a miniature hiring process in September 2013,’ and I think there was about 11 of us on that list, and in October of 2013 the seven of us found out we got hired.

Speaking out: Protesters rally outside the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown on Wednesday to oppose Metro Vancouver’s plans for a second B.C. incinerator. One incinerator is currently operating in Burnaby.

Debate over incinerator rages on in Metro Van staff reporter

Metro Vancouver is pointing to the success of its longstanding Burnaby incinerator in its continued attempts to sway the support of Lower Mainland municipalities for another facility, to be built at one of three potential sites in B.C. The group stressed the Burnaby facility’s economic and environmental strides at a stakeholders’ meeting on Wednesday, held at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown.

“Our existing waste energy facility in Burnaby, which has been operating for 25 years, is the least-cost asset in the Metro Vancouver system,” said Paul Henderson, general manager of solid waste services with Metro Vancouver, noting that an incinerator would be greener than sending waste to landfills.

But outside, a handful of picketers and opponents voiced their resistance to the project, citing the estimated cost of $517 million to taxpayers and public health risks of burning garbage.

“They’re trying to say that by burning the waste, we’re going to get rid of landfills altogether, but they’re just condensing the toxins into ash which then has to be buried,” said Jamie Kaminski, director of Zero Waste Canada, adding that chemicals from ash can leach into soil and bodies of

water.

“We believe that it competes directly with recycling, reuse and other more realistic green initiatives. It’s not coming up with a solution, it’s just coming up with a big price hike for the province.”

However, Henderson told reporters that 20 per cent of the material that goes through the Burnaby waste-to-energy facility becomes ash, which is safely managed through landfills in Delta and Alberta.

“All of that ash has been concluded to be suitable for management as municipal solid waste and non-hazardous,” he said.

The proposed locations for the wasteto-energy facility are Delta, Nanaimo and Port Mellon on the Sunshine Coast, but councillors from surrounding municipalities say the emissions from the Burnaby site are already affecting the environments in their cities.

Abbotsford Coun. Patricia Ross said ozone levels are increasing in the Fraser Valley, mainly due to pollution from bordering cities, and that the actual severity of the emissions is far greater than what Metro Vancouver has estimated.

“I think they ought to be respectful of our wishes and not build this,” she said.

“I think the province needs to step in now, kill this thing right away before the taxpayer’s stuck with a multimillion-dollar bill.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Let workers get on with their jobs

Dear Editor:

Re: Fire chief questions wait times, Burnaby NOW, April 23.

Life-and-death emergencies are a statistical rarity, but they must come first.

The ambulance incidents cited are not the most common, but that is precisely what an ambulance is about – prevention of death or permanent damage in extreme cases. The ambulance service is the service devoted entirely to the care of people. This must be a high priority.

It is good to see both the firefighters and the councillors support the ambulance service. The firefighters have the job of defending both people and property but are now given the loathsome choice

– help the person, or move on to the fire, simply because someone made the ambulance late.

The province compounds the error by suggesting that the firefighters now downgrade their own response times. It is clear who has the right priorities.

Let the firefighters and the ambulance workers both concentrate on their jobs, and stop playing them off against each other.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Teen has a bright future continued from page 6

Burnaby NOW, April 18), left out a few more things, such as having to cope with teachers who do not understand the difference between “underfunding” and “prudent budgeting” (as was demonstrated on the same pages), and a national/provincial debt, not as bad as in most developed countries, but still a formidable burden we shamefully accumulated on our watch and left for Joey to deal with.

Also, in fairness to our generation, Joey may want to check how many of her classmates could express themselves in equally powerful sentences.

With this out of the way, here is the good news: Joey is looking at a very bright future!

Joey sounds like someone very much “on the ball” (it’s an expression we used a long time ago) and I, for one, would have no problem offering employment to such a person.

Congratulations! It was a pleasure to read such a thoughtful piece!

Shame on B.C. government Dear Editor:

Re: It’s time to help the vulnerable, Opinion, by Keith Baldrey, Burnaby NOW, April 16.

So the government won’t let single parents keep their children’s maintenance money, and they won’t hike welfare rates – yet millions go out to help other countries, which has nothing to do with our children.

Their future and their lives depend on us.

Christy Clark has abused every single parent for years, and no one seems to care enough to stop her.

This is the lowest form of persecution and mental abuse directed to the ones who should be getting the money, and that is the children.

Pretty bad when you rob a child of its birthright by an adult who constantly rejects them and humiliates the parent whose only crime was to have children that she ended up supporting on her own.

Raise the welfare now.

Ziggy Eckardt, Burnaby

Sandy Chartier, Burnaby

Incineration: Taxpayers will pay continued from page 6

If they do, Hydro has stupidly overpaid for electricity, and ratepayers should be up in arms.

The business plan also relies on the provincial government exempting the incinerator from the carbon tax. But why should the public, industry and every other government agency pay this tax while Metro wriggles off the hook?

At least half of what will be burned in the incinerator will be plastic – how can those emissions be exempted from the carbon tax?

Yet there is no mention of the carbon tax in the Metro business case.

It’s time for Metro Vancouver to abandon this plan.

It’s too expensive, it’s too risky, and its business case looks to over-promise

and under-deliver.

As Metro taxpayers slip closer and closer to the fiery furnace of this incinerator, we can only hope a claw – in the form of Metro politicians overturning this plan – will drop from the sky and pluck us out of this mess.

Otherwise, we’ll all get burned.

Jordan Bateman is the B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.

THE BURNABYNOW STORY: City of Burnaby may move in on unsightly property – April 28

Facebook I Shairose Lila: We live a block away from this property. There used to be an empty trailer there and unfortunately 2 people perished there from possible carbon monoxide exposure. The empty trailer was left on the property and it’s presumed that a squatter moved in and there have been multiple fires there.

The abandoned building then caught on fire a few month ago and remains in the state as shown in the picture. People continue to dump their garbage and used furniture there. Not only is it an eyesore and reflects negatively on the neighborhood, what about the environmental hazard it posses with contaminants leaching into the ground and nearby ditch water. There is a salmon spawning reserve nearby that may be affected too.

I hope Burnaby city council votes to have the remaining structure demolished and clean up this abandoned property.

Yes, it’s important to be your best, but you also need to know that you got a bunch of other guys around you that you need to help out as well.

They’re only taking seven, so it’s like I need to do something to be that top seven. For me, it was taking extra courses and just being around the like-minded guys, it really gets you thinking in that mentality of constantly training and bettering yourself.

CD: How was your first day of recruit training?

JC: It was tiring but good. You felt satisfied at the end of the day. … t was kind of surreal. It was weird being there and like you finally had it, and it’s something you’ve been trying for a number of years to get and achieve, and then you’re actually doing it.

I was going home and calling my parents and saying: ‘Hey, this is what I did today!’ Just super excited the whole time.

CD: What do you think your first call will be like?

JC: It’s going to be different. Right now we’re doing first aid and it’s like, OK they’re a drowning victim, and they’re wet so you know you have to dry them off. It’s hard to imagine but seeing the actual thing, that in itself will be a different challenge.

I don’t know what it’s going to be like but I think that’s part of the excitement. I’m looking forward to it.

hopes to have candidates in place that are representative of Burnaby’s diverse population, which mean working through significant ideological differences within the group.

“Because they are a true team, there isn’t one person waving the baton,” Friesen said of the new coalition.

“We don’t have a (Mayor) Derek Corrigan. We don’t have somebody who’s trying to say, ‘It’s my way. I’ll make the decisions, and people will either like it or lump it.’”

As far as Thomas is concerned, the procedure saved her life.

Within a month, she was feeling better, and today, at age 89, she is still active and enjoying time with her six grandchildren.

“I’ve done well so far, and that you can tell them,” she said.

Enlisting Thomas as a PR ally, she argued publicly that the procedure was life saving and cost effective.

Her efforts were poised to pay off.

New data – including a study published in 2013 in the New England Journal of Medicine that showed fecal transplants cured 94 per cent of patients, compared to 27 per cent with the antibiotic vancomycin – convinced Fraser Health to launch a pilot project that would have seen the procedure offered at Burnaby and Ridge Meadows hospitals.

But that project was put on hold last Friday when Fraser

“We are currently exploring options for next steps and hope to be able to offer this life saving treatment to our patients in the very near future,” she wrote.

Thomas, however, is worried about the potential toll the delay will take on people currently suffering as she once did.

“In the meantime, how many people are going to die?” she asked. “I think they should be able to do it. I can’t see why the government is stopping it. It’s done me OK.”

Health was made aware of Health Canada statements saying it considers fecal transplants “investigational,” meaning they can only be performed within the context of an authorized clinical trial.

That requirement was news to Fraser Health officials.

“We didn’t solicit Health Canada approval for the pilot since we did not consider fecal content would be considered an experimental drug,” Fraser Health executive medical director of infection prevention and control Elizabeth Brodkin told the NOW in a written statement.

Brodkin said the health authority wasn’t considering a clinical trial for fecal trans-

That’s not the case now in what McLaren describes as the Burnaby Citizens Association’s “monopoly” on council, school board and the parks, recreation and culture commission.

“Every time we were campaigning, we always heard people say, ‘Why is there not one united opposition?’ So that’s what we’re trying to do,” McLaren said.

The end goal is to get more diversity on council, according to McLaren even if that means Greens teaming up with former members of Burnaby Parents’ Voice, a party created out of a group that opposed the Burnaby school district’s anti-homophobia policy and often labeled “anti-gay.”

City property taxes to be hiked 1.97 per cent Jacob Zinn staff reporter

Property taxes are going up in Burnaby, but not by as much as expected.

On Monday, council adopted its 20142018 financial plan, which contains a property tax increase of 1.97 per cent. However, that’s a drop from the projected 2.47-percent increase that council was looking at in the winter with this year’s provisional financial plan.

In December, Coun. Dan Johnston noted the budget was pretty tight, but that there was still some potential “to realize

some additional opportunities” before the budget was adopted earlier this week.

“We sat down twice over the last nine months with our staff and identified some various ways we could be a little more efficient in what we did,” said Johnston, who serves as chair of the city’s finance and audit committees.

Johnston said revenue generated by developments in Brentwood and Metrotown did the most to lessen the size of the tax increase for residents.

For the average home valued at $660,847, residents will pay an extra $26.82 per year, or a total of $1,549.22 annually, accord-

Youth prisoners moving to city Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Burnaby’s youth prison is about to take on some extra teens now that the Vancouver Island youth prison is closing.

The province plans to transfer 15 minors from Victoria Youth Custody Services, which is slated to close due to low numbers of incarcerated youth.

On Monday, Stephanie Cadieux, minister of children and family development, announced the closure, which leaves only two youth prisons in the province.

“The youth that (are) currently in custody will be transferred to the Burnaby facility. They will be served there instead of Victoria,” Cadieux told the NOW. “We have a lot of excess capacity in Burnaby as well. It will help us better manage the resources.”

ing to the city’s finance director, Denise Jorgenson.

Johnston added that the city adjusted spending on a number of its programs, but noted that they didn’t have to make any significant cuts.

“We identified some programs that weren’t meeting the public’s need anymore so they were refined in a way that we didn’t have to spend as much money on them,” he said.

Last year, Johnston raised concerns that a 1.75-per-cent wage increase for city workers in 2014, outlined in a collective agreement, put strain on the budget and

could lead to a hiring freeze for the city.

While the city did scale back on hiring for a time, Johnston said staff were creative in delegating responsibilities in their efforts to offset the $1.9 million spike in the budget caused by the wage increase.

“We directed staff not to hire anybody until they rationalized the roles,” he said.

“Some of the positions that were anticipated were for things like the new rec centre, which needed staff to fully function.

“There were a couple of new roles that we either delayed or retooled them into other positions so that they weren’t necessarily full positions.”

Cadieux couldn’t say when the Vancouver Island teens would be transferred to Burnaby, as there are still many loose ends that need to be dealt with before the Victoria centre can close.

“We have to go through a number of processes with judges, sheriffs, police and the union to ensure the collective agreement is followed for people who may be losing their jobs,” Cadieux said.

However, Burnaby’s centre is also overstaffed, according to Cadieux, so the extra teens will help balance out the surplus of employees.

“We do have overstaffing in Burnaby as well, and when we move the 15 youth over, there may be some adjustments as well,” she said.

Farmers’ market returns this weekend Market runs Saturdays in the parking lot at Burnaby City Hall Jacob Zinn staff reporter

You could say Janice Bobic is a veteran of the Burnaby Farmers’ Market.

After all, she’s been a part of it for six years running, going on seven.

“I’ve been with the market ever since it first started,” said Bobic, who runs My Father’s Garden, which boasts a variety of jams, jellies, marmalades, pickles, relish, chutneys, fruit vinegars, herbs, spices and plants.

As the Burnaby Farmers’ Market starts up again on Saturday, May 3, more than 100 local vendors are gearing up to sell everything from acrylic paintings and soapstone carvings to body lotions and dog treats.

Bobic has been making preserves out of her kitchen for almost 45 years. She decided to sell them at the market to keep busy after she retired from her government job 10 years ago.

“I’m not one to sit around and do nothing and I was trying to decide what I was going to do with myself,” she said. “I wanted something to do that I was passionate about, and I found my passion.”

Since 2008, Bobic has gathered a following, with many repeat customers coming back for more of her jarred goods.

“I have my faithful customers that always like my products,” she said. “I’ve had several people come back or they send me an email saying, ‘That’s the best jam

Homemade goodness: Janice Bobic is returning to the Burnaby Farmers’ Market for the seventh year in a row to sell her jams, jellies and preserves at her booth, named My Father’s Garden.

I ever had in my life.’ That’s always nice to hear.”

The market runs from the first Saturday of May to the last Saturday of October, just outside Burnaby City Hall. Bobic said the crowds have grown greatly since she first set up her booth.

“Every year since it started, we get more and more people coming – the word spreads and more people show up,” said Bobic. “A lot of people get really excited about all the different things they can find at the farmers’ market.

“It becomes a real event, espe-

cially on a nice sunny day when you can leisurely walk around.”

But even with that increased foot traffic and the desire to provide a wide variety of goods, Bobic keeps her booth to a oneperson operation.

“The kitchen is only so big

and I wouldn’t have room for a second person to work with me,” she said with a laugh.

The market runs every Saturday from May 3 to Oct. 25, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., in the north parking lot of Burnaby City Hall, located at 4949 Canada Way.

Educator joins B.C. council

The founder of 14 Lower Mainland early childhood education

centres, including two in Burnaby and one in New Westminster, has been appointed to the Provincial Child Care Council.

Natacha Beim of Core Education and Fine Arts (CEFA) Educational Systems is now one of 19 members representing the interests of parents, children and caregivers in the province. The council offers guidance to the B.C. government on policies and programs that affect the cost, quality, stability and accessibility of child care.

“I am very passion-

ate about early learning programming for young children,” said Beim in a statement. “My goal is to help all families in British Columbia have access to excellent early years services for their children, and I am proud to support our government in this mission.”

CEFA, Canada’s first junior kindergarten school, was founded by Beim in 1998.

T

he Burnaby Art Gallery has a much storied history. The Fairacres mansion was built near Deer Lake Park in 1911, designed by architect R.P.P.S Twizzel, and was owned by H.T. and

Grace Ceperley. It was the grandest home in Burnaby when it was built, according to the city’s website on the property.

Grace passed away in 1917 and stipulated in her will that the home be sold and the money be used to build a children’s playground at Stanley Park.

The home was sold to former Vancouver mayor Frederick Buscombe in 1922.

Since then, it has been a Benedictine monastery, a fraternity house and finally, an art gallery.

The mansion was an art museum in the ‘60s, and the Burnaby Art Gallery began as an association in 1967, collecting and showing contemporary art there.

The exterior of the Edwardian mansion was restored by the City of Burnaby, which took over

management of the gallery in 1998.

Last fall, the gallery got a prestigious feather in its cap when it was chosen to showcase National Gallery of Canada exhibition, Storms and Bright Skies: Three Centuries of Dutch Landscapes, as well as a collection of Dutch portraits.

The exhibit included works by well-known Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn.

Your journey starts here.

Cherokee impresses both on and off-road Brendan McAleer contributing writer

Picking up the kids from school? You might take a shortcut right up the side of Grouse in this new crossover.

Here is a very important vehicle. And, judging from the squint, it’s forgotten its bifocals.

Kidding aside, the Cherokee represents a vital sales segment, both for Jeep/ Chrysler and its new Fiat owners. Based on the same Italian underpinnings as the Dodge Dart, if this crossover does well, it’ll have the profits flooding in.

Overall, you could claim Jeep’s been having a bit of a renaissance of late.

They’ve had the good sense not to fiddle with the Wrangler’s burly character too much, and the Grand Cherokee is, frankly, excellent, a sort of Americanized Range Rover. The SRT version is possibly my favourite SUV of all time.

With the resurrection of the Cherokee nameplate, not seen in over a decade, Jeep hopes to offer a smaller version of its successful full-size SUV. Never mind the way this rig’s giving you a suspicious glare – it’s how it fares from behind the wheel that’s important.

Design

Obviously, we first have to talk a little more about that front end. It’s certainly striking. Striking, that is, in the manner of a frying pan to the face.

When it first showed its squinty schnoz, the Cherokee generated all kinds of hilarious jests, jeers and japes. Having seen the thing in the flesh, I actually kinda like it.

I know, I know: maybe it’s me who needs the bifocals. Here’s the thing though, in the Trailhawk trim, with big burly boots and plenty of plastic cladding, the Cherokee looks like something that could have rolled right off the set of the original Robocop.

It’s futuristic, and polarizing, and I’m sure you’ve already got an opinion on it.

This Limited Trim tester came with 18-

Tough haul: The new Cherokee offers a smaller version of Jeep’s successful full-size SUV. The result is a vehicle that works well both on and off-road – even if its exterior design is polarizing. inch polished alloys, and I will say that the more basic versions of the Cherokee can’t quite pull off the scowl as well as those with the beefier wheel and tire packages.

Environment

On the inside, the Cherokee benefits from a great deal of parts-sharing across the Chrysler lineup. While I’ve heard other colleagues complain about the odd bit of flimsiness in the plastics and stitch-

ing issues here and there, my particular tester didn’t seem to have too many foibles.

Jeep delayed the launch of its new crossover significantly, focusing on tweaking things based on early reviewer feedback, and this mostly shines through in the Cherokee’s interior. It looks good, and the “infotainment” controls are among the best on the market. It’s worth noting, for instance, that both Maserati and Ferrari use similar versions of the

Uconnect system, with its big, bright icons and easy-to-use interface.

Compared to others in the class, this Jeep is not quite the utilitarian box the old Cherokee was. It’s fine for passenger space, especially as it’s equipped with a sliding rear seat, but the overall cargo room is smaller than either an Escape or a CR-V. As a Limited, this tester came fully equipped with leather and the highest Jeep Page 24

Your journey starts here.

Jeep: New Cherokee is a worthy entry in the SUV market continued from page 17

grades of interior trim, and was actually a fairly snazzy ride. Both of the volumeselling Japanese vehicles in this segment, the CR-V and RAV4, seem to have a greater amount of hard plastics. The Cherokee does look like a little Grand Cherokee from behind the wheel.

Performance

It also drives like one, but not all the time. As mentioned, this crossover sits on a Fiat platform rather than the Grand Cherokee’s Mercedes-Benz underpinnings, and it feels it.

The Cherokee is more like the base car, with somewhat numb steering, a ride tuned for comfort rather than speed, and an overall woolly and isolated drive.

That’s fine. We already have several crossovers that pretend convincingly to be sports cars, from the Mazda CX-5 to the Ford Escape. Comfort and smoothness are favoured in the Cherokee over corner-carving, and thus it’ll probably appeal to a broader range of tastes.

However, a little more feel could be wished for, and slightly better behaviour from the nine-speed automatic transmission. You read that right: nine speeds – wasn’t eight supposed to be enough? Is this thing a crossover or a mountain bike?

The 3.2L V6 engine can’t really be held

to blame here. It’s not crazy powerful, but does have a worthy 271 hp, if only a modest 239 lb./ft. of torque. It does feel slightly less grunty than other offerings, particularly the turbocharged ecoboost offerings from Ford, but it’s a durable powerplant, and quite smooth.

Software updates for the nine-speed are probably on the way. The electric power steering and the slight sponginess of the brakes are unlikely to change.

Having said that, the Cherokee is entirely competent, and then there’s what happens when you take it even mildly off-road. It’s a tank.

Jeep’s active drive system has the ability to adapt to nearly any terrain, and the chassis is composed and unstickable even in the non-trail-rated version.

The Trailhawk looks the toughest, but this city slicker Limited could quite easily follow a Wrangler down even a difficult trail.

Frankly, I’d almost call the Cherokee’s capabilities an unfortunate temptation.

So you’re on the run to pick up the kids from school? You might take a shortcut right up the side of Grouse. Picking up the groceries? Why not check the backcountry for morels instead of shelling out for them?

Add in a 2,000-kg towing capacity and you’ve got the makings of a Jeep-serious

Inside look: The interior of the

new Cherokee looks good, and the “infotainment” controls are among the best in the market. utility vehicle with relatively smooth and composed road manners. When the going gets rough, the Cherokee proves itself worthy of the seven-hole Jeep grille it wears out front.

Features

Like the Grand Cherokee, this smaller Jeep has an overwhelming amount of tech on-tap. The 8.4-inch touchscreen display pairs with a customizable gauge cluster, and voice commands are easy to use.

For safety, available features include the usual blind spot monitoring and lane departure warning, but also extend to automatic cruise control and adaptive

high-beams. The $1,795 technology package also includes forward collision mitigation and parking assist.

The only drawback to all the goodies available is the way the cost for this compact crossover can shoot up. Equipped with a luxury group including power liftgate, nine-speaker audio, towing package, and a dual-pane sunroof, this tester Cherokee cracked the $43,000 mark.

That’s quite a bit.

Keep your Cherokee a little less grand and it’s competitive with others in the segment.

Fuel economy is not necessarily a strong point, with an 11.1L/100km in-city rating and 7.7L/100km on the highway.

The Cherokee will struggle to hit either figure, and the gap between V6 and fourcylinder is fairly minimal.

Green light

Excellent off-road capability; welldesigned, upscale interior; polarizing styling; available tech.

Stop sign

Numb steering; expensive options; thirsty engine; small cargo capacity.

The checkered flag

Worthy of wearing the Jeep badge.

ometimes you’ve just gotta sing.

Nicole Heidema knows that very well.

The Burnaby teen is one of the young performers that’s part of ShowStoppers, a Glee-style group that appears in concerts and special events around Vancouver.

This weekend, ShowStoppers have five shows at the BMO Vancouver Marathon on Sunday.

They’ll be in Richmond performing for Move for Health Day in Minoru Park on May 10, then at Jack Poole Plaza on May 17 to welcome Olympian Clara Hughes on her cross-country ride.

They also have gigs booked through June, July and August.

The busy group of teens, led by Perry Ehrlich, have all participated in the Gotta Sing! Gotta Dance! program – a performing arts training program for teens that runs over the summer at the Jewish Community Centre of Greater Vancouver.

There are two summer sessions again this year – July’s is full, but spaces are still available for the August program, which runs Aug. 5 to 28.

The popular program has been running for 20 years – in fact, ShowStoppers will be appearing at the PNE on Sunday, Aug. 24 in celebration of the 20th anniversary of Gotta Sing!

Gotta Dance!

If there’s a teen in your house who loves to perform, why not check it out?

Book launch set

A member of the Burnaby Writers’ Society is launching her latest novel on Mother’s Day weekend.

Eileen Kernaghan is holding a launch event on Saturday, May 10 at 1:30 p.m. at the Arts Council of New Westminster gallery.

Kernaghan will be on hand to sign copies of the novel, her ninth historical novel. The youth adult historical fantasy, Sophie, in Shadow, is set in India in 1914, under the Raj.

“Sixteen-year-old Sophie Pritchard, orphaned two years earlier by the sinking of the SS Titanic, is about to begin a new life in the unfamiliar world of British India,” a blurb about the book says.

“For Sophie, still devastated by her parents’ death, India proves a dangerously unsettling environment.

Are her terrifying experiences in Kali’s temple and the Park Street cemetery hallucinations, or has she somehow been drawn back through the centuries as a witness to dark places in Calcutta’s past?”

It’s being published by Thistledown Press.

Check out the website www.eileenkernaghan.ca for more on the author and her work.

SIX OF 10 BUYERS

PUT LESS THAN 20 PER CENT DOWN D

Saving for a downpayment is challenging: most home buyers need mortgage insurance to balance the purchase.

o you have 20 per cent to put down on residential property purchase? If so, you are rare in Canada’s housing market today where, despite the urgings of the federal Finance Minister, few buyers have that kind of cash.

According to the latest data from CAAMP (Canadian Association of Accredited Mortgage Professionals) only 39 per cent of home buyers between 2010 and the spring of 2012 put down 20 per cent or more. The survey included both first-time and repeat buyers. First-time buyers accounted for 56 per cent of those polled.

The survey found that: • 41 per cent of buyers had less than a 10 per cent downpayment; • 21 per cent had more than 10 per cent but less than 20 per cent to put down.

This means that about 60 per cent of buyers needed to purchase mortgage insurance. This insurance that protects the lender in case the borrower defaults on his or her mortgage payments. If an insured mortgage is in default, and the lender can’t collect from the borrower, the insurer pays the lender back.

Mortgage default insurance is required by most

lenders whenever a homeowner puts down less than 20 per cent. The biggest mortgage insurers in Canada are Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, Genworth Financial, and Canada Guaranty--in that order. Mortgage insurers charge premiums to borrowers to cover the insurance expense. These fees can range from less than 1 per cent to more than 5 per cent of the principal value, depending on the borrower’s mortgage type, loan-to-value, property type, and amortization.

The insurance premiums are typically added to the mortgage at the time of closing. While possible, they are rarely paid in advance.

Putting down 10 per cent on the [Canadian] average $350,152 home, for example, means the buyer will pay $6,302 insurance premium (given fully documented income and decent credit). Since insurance premiums are tacked on to the mortgage that adds up to $9,000 or more if the mortgage loan is amortized over 25 years.

It is easy to see how mortgage insurance rule changes - which came in this summer - may alter home buying trends. In another few months, we’ll get a good sense for how recent changes in the mortgage market will impact buyers and mortgage volumes, despite mortgage rates remaining near historic lows.

North and Central earn playoff byes Tom Berridge

sports editor

The Burnaby/New Westminster high school girls’ soccer playoffs should come down to a three-team race.

Burnaby North Vikings, Burnaby Central Wildcats and New Westminster Hyacks finished 1-2-3 in the regular season following separate shutout wins on the final day of league play on Tuesday.

Regular season champion North stopped Burnaby South 5-0, while Central held the fort against Moscrop to gain second place overall with a 2-0 victory.

New West took advantage of an undermanned Alpha squad to post a 6-0 win to place third despite finishing with a similar 61 record to the top two school teams.

North claimed top spot on a head-to-head tiebreaker with the other two schools following a 2-0 win over Central and a 1-0 loss to the Hyacks.

New West nipped North 1-0 earlier in the season, while Central blanked the Hyacks 2-0 in its league showdown.

At Central, Reesa Wright, with the gamewinner, and Allison Gault both scored first-half goals for the Wildcats.

Morgan Wright claimed the shutout with some solid goalkeeping in the

second half against a game Moscrop squad.

Juliet Davies tallied a hat trick in a multi-goal second half for the Hyacks.

Sadie Farina recorded her fourth shutout in five games for the New West side.

The Hyacks played Byrne Creek, while Alpha and South tangled in the other quarter-final played Thursday (after NOW deadlines).

North and Central will take on the lowest and highest seeded quarter-

final winners, respectively, in semifinal play on Tuesday, May 6.

Earlier in the season, Central was ranked as high as second in the province, in what was largely considered an inaccurate poll.

But the net effect of the honour was not lost on the Wildcats, said the Central goalie.

“That was so awesome,” said Morgan. “We’re kind of hoping that we can be that good. It’s a goal to work towards.”

Cliff settles for silver medal in Coastal B Cups Tom Berridge sports editor

Cliff Avenue United won a pair of silver medals in Coastal B Cup finals in Richmond last weekend.

The under-17 boys’ dropped a narrow 2-1 decision to the Coquitlam Metro-Ford Nitro, while the u-18 girls’ met a similar 2-1 fate on penalty kicks at the hands of the Surrey United Elite.

The Cliff boys fell behind 2-0 at the half to the physical Nitro squad, but acquitted themselves much better in the second stanza, outscoring the eventual winners on Keenan Malloy’s free kick. Malloy’s shot from outside the 18-yard box appeared to glance off a defender, fooling the Metro-Ford keeper.

“As much as we had a ton of chances, we didn’t get a lot of opportunities on the ball,” said Cliff Avenue coach Vito Lore. “We were fighting the ball. We were unfortunate.”

Prior to the cup playdowns, the u-17 boys won the 4District championship for a second time.

This summer, Cliff will get another second chance to make amends at the provincial

championships.

The u-18 Cliff girls also had plenty of opportunities to win in their match with the league champion from Surrey.

Cliff Avenue, who had earlier defeated Surrey in the league championship cup, widely outshot the Elite in the opening half but came away with a 1-1 draw at the interval on the game-tying goal by Chantelle Parra.

Surrey opened the scoring on its one and only shot on goal, while the North Burnaby club forced many chances, including a ball off the crossbar and at least 10 corner kick opportunities, said Cliff coach Dino Piccolo.

The second half was a closer affair.

“We just couldn’t muster a chance to score (in the latter frame). It just looked like one of those days,” said Piccolo, who has coached a core group of the girls since u-6.

The shootout session went to a seventh shooter before Surrey United took the cup with a 4-3 advantage in penalty kicks.

Piccolo was not altogether disappointed though. In the team’s four seasons at Cliff, the girls have finished among the top three clubs.

“It’s been a really good season and four good years,” he added.

GOLF

Burnaby wins Tier 2 WP title

Clan freshman wins conference title in NCAA Div. II debut Tom Berridge

sports editor

Simon Fraser University’s Kevin Vigna won the golf program’s first-ever NCAA Division II conference title last month.

The Clan freshman shot an even-par 71 in the final round of the Great Northwest conference championship at Coeur d’Alene, Idaho on April 22 to finish at par and win the tournament by seven strokes over co-runners-up Kyle Shrader of Western Washington and Saint Martin’s Ryan Baumgart.

Vigna opened with a four-over-par 75, but rebounded with a tournament-best 67 in round two to head into the final 18 holes just two shots back of Shrader.

In the final round, Shrader ballooned to an 80, while Vigna carded 11 pars, two birdies and an eagle on the 18th hole to earn the conference title.

“That weekend, I played well and the weather was great. I had a really good second round, shooting 67.

(The final day) was a little bit different, the holes were playing really long. When I holed out on 18 that really put the cherry on top for the whole tournament,” Vigna said in a press release. .

Junior John Mlikotic finished tied for 10th with a 13-over-par 226 to help lead the Clan men to third place overall.

Senior captain and conference player of the year Mike Belle and clan teammate Bret Thompson tied for 14th place both at 228. Freshman Craig Titterington finished at 251.

Earlier, Belle was named the Great Northwest player of the year, while Vigna won rookie of the year honours.

With its placing, SFU earned a spot at the NCAA South Central/West super regional championship in Austin, Texas from May 5 to 7.

The Clan will enter the competition as the fifth seed in the west region.

On the women’s side of the draw, two Clan golfers finished in the top 10 at the conference championships.

Freshman Erin Farner finished in seventh place with a two-round 165, just one shot better that senior captain Nicky Jordan. The Clan women’s team finished fourth overall.

Mackenzie Field was also earlier named to the conference all-academic team, with a 3.94 grade point average in health sciences.

Three Clan players named all-conference Simon Fraser University ended a somewhat dismal women’s softball season, falling to conference champion Western Oregon 9-0 and 10-2 on Sunday.

“It was a season like none other and certainly one that we’ll look to put behind us,” SFU head coach Mike Renney said in a Clan press release.

SFU finished the season with a 2-21 record in the Great Northwest conference and 4-35 overall.

In Game 1, Western Oregon mercied the Clan, scoring nine runs on 14 hits, eight of which were earned.

In the second game, the Wolves pounded out 10 runs, all of them coming in the opening inning, on eight hits.

Nicole Ratel swatted a solo home run for the Clan in the top of the second. Shelby McCannel added SFU’s second run in the fifth.

“At the end of the day, this certainly wasn’t good enough in a competitive conference like the GNAC,” said Renney. “This summer will provide opportunities to bounce back in the second year of what we hope will be a two-year plan.”

Later in the week, three Clan players were named to the all-conference team.

Rachel Proctor, who led the team in many categories including a .333 batting average, was named to the Great Northwest second team.

Senior Danielle Raison, who missed a portion of the season with injury, and freshman Robyn Mogavero were both named conference honourable mentions.

Raison had a second-best on base average on the team.

Mogavero led the team in runs scored, hits and at bats.

New sport in town: The Burnaby-based Vancouver Riptide dropped its

first match of the season in the American Ultimate Disc League despite the play of Ryan Lee, in blue, falling 29-20 to the San Francisco Flame Throwers at Swangard Stadium last Saturday. The defeat tied the Riptide with San Francisco for second place, both with identical 3-1 records in the Western conference. San Jose currently tops the ladder with a 3-0 record. Vancouver’s Derek Fenton leads all scorers with 14 goals and 16 assists, while teammate Darren Wu is third among goal scorers with 15 winners. The local semi-pro club hosts the conference leader on May 10 at 3 p.m.

Sever Topan scored eight goals to help lead a combined Burnaby South, Burnaby Central and Moscrop team win the Tier 2 high school water polo title at the Coquitlam Aquatic Centre on April 27.

Gareth Jones chipped in with five goals and Gianmaria Sasce garnered a hat trick in a 20-10 victory over Smelgin, a combined co-ed team from Surrey.

Walid Ben Brahim chipped in with a pair of counters, while Mackenzie Burns and T.J. Jones added single scores for third-year coach Ethan D’Souza’s Grade 8 to 12 water polo team.

Last season, Burnaby high schools also teamed up for a gold medal.

All-star Bby. guard comes home Special to the NOW

tberridge@burnabynow.com

Former local high school star Alisha Roberts is waving goodbye to NCAA Division I Pepperdine University women’s basketball team.

The former York House all-star guard will play her final two seasons of varsity hoops with Simon Fraser University following a transfer from the Waves.

As a freshman at Pepperdine, Roberts scored a career-high nine points in a victory against San Francisco in her conference home opener.

“On the court, she brings a fiery competitiveness, shoots the three well and has high expectations for herself, all qualities that we value,” said Clan head coach Bruce Langford in a SFU press release.

“First and foremost, I think of myself as a team player,” Roberts said in the release. “I will do everything that is required and expected of me to make our team a better team and to take us to the next level.”

the way.

Roberts was a four-time athlete of the year and a three-time honour roll student, leading her school to a fourth-place finish at the B.C. provincial AA championship and a AAA Lower Mainland championship as a senior.

Roberts helped B.C. to a second consecutive silver medal at the under-17 Canadian championships in 2011.

She also played on the Basketball B.C. club team from 2008 to ’11, earning first team all-star honours twice along the way, while also helping her under-15 club team to two runner-up finishes at nationals before winning a Canadian championship with her under-17 club team.

“I am blessed to play for my home university that is steeped in a winning tradition. I couldn’t ask for much more. I am ready and cannot wait to be a member of the Clan.

As far as my goals for next season are concerned, my personal goals will be framed and referenced by our team goals. I am just so excited to be a member of the Clan,” said Roberts.

Phantom finish 1-4 at Esso Cup Burnaby defenceman Michelle Toor ended her four-year association with the Fraser Valley Phantom with a second straight appearance at the Canadian AAA midget female hockey championships.

The St. Thomas More Collegiate senior scored a goal and added an assist at the six-team Esso Cup national tournament, all of them coming in the Phantom’s 7-2 win over Moncton Rockets.

Fraser Valley opened the roundrobin championship with three narrow losses, including one-goal defeats to

Cup finalist Edmonton Thunder and eventual title winner Weyburn Gold Wings.

The Phantom lost 1-0 to the Thunder in the championship opener.

Weyburn defeated Edmonton 2-1 in the championship final.

The Phantom played Weyburn even at 1-1 until late in the middle period, before fighting back from a 3-1 deficit to close the gap to 3-2 on a Mikayla Ogrodniczuk power-play goal.

Fraser Valley outshot the Gold Wings 40-24 in the game.
