Solving this problem takes cold cash Cornelia Naylor staff reporter

Burnaby teen Pasindu Muthukuda is grappling with some big problems. As one of the top five high school physics students in the country and the only Western Canadian to qualify for the 45th International Physics Olympiad in Kazakhstan this summer, he will spend the next two months practising problems designed to shed light on the very nature of the universe – space, time, matter, motion, energy and force. He will also be trying to figure out how to pay for his plane ticket. Muthukuda, a 16-year-old who graduates from Burnaby Central this month, qualified for the International Physics Olympiad July 13 to 21 with a top-five score on the Canadian Association of Physicists exam in April. In the past, that would have earned him a free trip to the Canadian Physics Olympiad, a weeklong physics camp and competition for the country’s top 15 young physicists – five of whom would have been chosen and funded to represent Canada at the prestigious international competition. But after decades of bringing together the country’s best and brightest young physicists, the national event was cancelled this year because of a lack of funds. Canada will still have a team in Kazakhstan Physics Page 12

City woman fights for mandatory defibrillator law Cornelia Naylor staff reporter

A Burnaby woman who has worked for six years to make defibrillators as common in public as fire extinguishers doesn’t think new provincial funding announced recently goes far enough. She wants a law. Denise Giammaria’s husband – a fit, 43year-old father of three – died of a sudden cardiac arrest during a hockey game six

years ago. Since then, the Gianfranco Giammaria Memorial Society has placed 64 life-saving Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) in public places in Burnaby, Vancouver, West Vancouver, North Vancouver and Pitt Meadows. In February 2013, the Heart and Stoke Foundation launched a parallel B.C. program and also began placing AEDs – matching $1 million in funding from the provincial government.

That funding was increased by another $1 million last month and will allow Heart and Stroke to place a total of 750 defibrillators in communities around the province over the next three years. But for a province as big as B.C. that’s not enough for Giammaria, who has seen how ubiquitous the life-saving machines are in places with laws mandating their availability. “We were in the States, and my kids counted 25 steps between one AED and Expiry date: June 30, 2014

another,” she said. “Then I found out it’s a law in the States.” B.C. is late to the game when it comes to AEDs, according to Mark Collison, director of advocacy for the Heart and Stroke Foundation of B.C. He said Ontario has already placed about 5,000 AEDs, spent more than $10 million and passed legislation protecting people from liability if they help someone Mandatory Page 9

Students walk as dispute heats up Cornelia Naylor

Kenny Tung, Grade 8

Student demonstrators in Burnaby were disappointed more of their classmates didn’t join them in a provincewide walkout Wednesday morning to protest the ongoing labour dispute between the provincial government and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. “A lot of my friends are going to come later because there’s important classes,” Moscrop Secondary Grade 9 student Evan Elsaesser told the NOW Wednesday morning, “but I think that’s a bit lame, considering this is a walkout and you’re supposed to not care about the school when you’re protesting what’s happening. If everyone came, then the teachers wouldn’t have a choice. There wouldn’t be a class running anyway.” The walkout was organized on Facebook by two Surrey students. Nearly 14,000 people indicated they intended to participate prov-

incewide, but less than 20 showed up outside Moscrop. “I thought there was going to be more people, but it is what it is,” Grade 9 student Owen Simpson said. He said he walked out because he doesn’t think students should be caught in the middle of the labour dispute. Elsaesser agreed. “I’m sick and tired of this,” he said. “In Grade 7, I didn’t get to do some of my field trips. The Grade 8s this year aren’t getting their field trips. The Grade 12s in some schools don’t get their graduation, and it’s just not OK.” Ben Cleroux, a Grade 9 student, said students need to get more informed and involved. “I think in more ways than one, students need to be educated about not only math and science and socials, but also about exactly what is going on with the teacher strike,” he

said. “Kids also need to be more opinionated how exactly they’re missing out in school. We need to be more proactive and realize it’s not fair to us at all.” Since the student walkout Wednesday, however, the labour dispute has only escalated. The teachers’ union announced Wednesday it will vote Monday and Tuesday on whether to carry out full-scale strikes before the end of the school year. The announcement came after a Labour Relations Board ruling that upheld the government’s plan to dock 10 per cent of teachers’ pay in response to their job action. Earlier in the week, the union announced it had dropped its wage demands from a 15.9 per cent increase over four years to about 14 per cent over four years. The government is offering 7.25 per cent over six years plus a $1,200 signing bonus. twitter.com/CorNaylor

City won’t let Kinder Morgan access land Jacob Zinn staff reporter

The City of Burnaby is barring Kinder Morgan from testing a potential route for its proposed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, according to the energy company’s top executive. Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Anderson told The Vancouver Sun his company is considering seeking orders from the National Energy Board – the federal regulatory agency that is currently reviewing the pipeline proposal – to allow them onto city land to try out its new tunnel route under Burnaby Mountain. He claims the city is preventing them from

conducting preliminary geotechnical work to determine if tunnelling is a viable option. “(Burnaby Mayor) Derek Corrigan and his council have taken the position that they won’t speak with us, they won’t engage with us, they won’t cooperate in any way with what we are considering,” said Anderson. “I’d much rather see a healthier relationship between us.” The city is adamantly against the expansion, to the point of threatening to withhold emergency services in the event of an oil spill. Corrigan has stated that he will stand in front of a bulldozer to prevent the pipeline twinning. “Kinder Morgan has always wanted us to be cooperative in what they’re doing,” said

Corrigan. “One of the problems is that if we cooperate, they go to the NEB and say ‘Burnaby preferred this’ or ‘Burnaby cooperated in that,’ giving NEB the impression that we’re not so opposed to it. That, in fact, isn’t the case.” Under the National Energy Board Act, the NEB has the power to give companies access to Crown and private land for surveys and other examinations along proposed pipeline routes. If the NEB grants Kinder Morgan access to the land, Corrigan said the city will argue to the board that the pipeline proposal is incomplete, citing the company’s repeated rerouting of the expansion. “We’ve argued before, that their application

Tasered man dies, officer injured during altercation Cayley Dobie staff reporter

One man is dead and a police officer had to be hospitalized after a report of an “unwanted male” at a Burnaby apartment building turned violent Wednesday afternoon. According to Burnaby RCMP, patrol received a call about a disturbance at an apartment building on Walker Avenue near Elwell Street around 2:30 p.m. on June 3. Two officers were dispatched to the scene and quickly located the “unwanted male.” When the NOW arrived on scene around 3:45 p.m., there were eight police cruisers surrounding the apartment building. There was also debris on one of the unit’s patio, and it appeared the sliding door had been smashed. Police told the NOW that an altercation ensued after the “unwanted male” refused to cooperate. The altercation resulted in a female officer being struck on the head with an unknown object. Sometime after she was struck, the suspect collapsed. Emergency personnel performed CPR in an attempt to resuscitate the suspect. A defibrillator was also used, but they were unable to revive the suspect and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Meanwhile, the female officer was transported to hospital where she was treated and released, Burnaby RCMP confirmed on Thursday. B.C.’s civilian-led investigation team,

the Independent Investigations Office (IIO), has confirmed it is investigating the incident. “We’ve deployed investigators, they’re at the scene, our chief civilian director is on-route there and will be taking questions,” Kellie Kilpatrick, media spokesperson for the IIO, told the NOW Wednesday evening. Kilpatrick said Burnaby RCMP notified the IIO around 3:30 p.m. Wednesday afternoon that a suspect had died while in police custody. “They were responding to a complaint of a male who accessed an apartment building near Walker, through a plate glass door. According to police, he was agitated and non-compliant,” she said. Kilpatrick confirmed a Taser was deployed, but it failed to have any effect on the suspect. “A physical struggle ensued, and while he (the suspect) was being taken into custody he became unresponsive and he was pronounced deceased at the scene,” she added. The B.C. Coroner’s Service will conduct an autopsy to determine the suspect’s cause of death. The IIO will conduct its own investigation and determine whether or not the Burnaby RCMP officers involved committed an offence. If they determine there was an offence, the IIO will forward its report to Crown counsel who will decide if criminal charges are laid. Check www.burnabynow.com for more on this developing story.

OUR VIEW

what he says is the city’s refusal to let its engineers access city land to do geotechnical work to determine if it can tunnel a pipeline through Burnaby Mountain. Some might say Corrigan is being petty. Refusing to let the company engineers do their work will probably just end up in some kind of court battle or NEB ruling forcing the city to let the work happen. But during the battle more people will learn about the massive plans, learn how our reliance on oil and gas is turning our planet into a warm, toxic dome – and,

hopefully, learn that they can do something about it. It’s an uphill battle. Canada is now – contrary to its carbon emissions promises – going to completely miss its 2020 reductions goal, while the U.S. is on track to meet those same goals. As a nation we should be very worried – and ashamed. When Ian Anderson says he would like a “healthier relationship” between his company and the city, he might want to consider having a healthier relationship with the planet.

Education should not be bargained IN MY OPINION

Christina Myers

t’s hard to remember a time when there wasn’t an awful lot of conflict between teachers and the B.C. government over the state of education in this province. Certainly not in my years as a parent (nearly seven) and not even in my years as a reporter (more than a dozen). Perhaps older and wiser mothers and journalists than I can recall a time of labour peace and stability in this sector, and I envy them if they can. One of my first assignments after I left journalism school was to cover a teachers’ rally in Richmond over the then-stillfresh “stripping” of contract provisions like class size and composition limits. For a newbie reporter, it was an intimidating but eye-opening event. There was a sense among those protesting that the power of a collective voice (and perhaps common sense) would eventually win out. Older teachers nearing retirement grieved the loss of agreements that had taken years to gain; younger teachers won-

dered how they’d be able to do their jobs the way they wanted to in such an acrimonious environment. There was frustration and sadness and, yes, anger in spades that day (and most of the days since, it seems). Premier Christy Clark was education minister then, and though I have no memory now of what I asked her, I recall clearly the impression I was left with: here was one cool, calm, collected politician. Clark was a master at giving a great, solid quote – and of answering her way around (and around and around) the original question. Not much has changed: teachers are still fighting and worrying, education ministers are still good at giving sound bites, Clark is still calm, cool and collected. Rallies are still being held, questions are still answered in roundabout ways, we’re still talking about contract stripping (it was, for the record, found by the courts to be illegal) and every few years we all struggle through a strike and lockout. It seems endless – the main players change a little (except in the case of Clark), but not much else has. I can’t help but think that somewhere along the way, we’ve lost sight of the critical, at-thecore, heart of the matter – and Education Page 7

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Burnaby’s taxes are too high Dear Editor:

Why are Burnaby’s city taxes higher than Vancouver’s? Why is Burnaby’s tax rate 2.3443 compared to Vancouver’s 1.84728? Why doesn’t Burnaby have assessment averaging like Vancouver? For years, Vancouver’s taxpayers have benefited from this system. Why is Burnaby’s sewer taxes $539 compared to Vancouver’s $297. Vancouver’s city taxes on a $900,000 home are $492 less than Burnaby’s even before using the benefits of assessment averaging. This figure also recognizes Burnaby’s utility discount for early payment. Since this is an election year, one would expect

serious debate between the civic parties on the high taxes, especially since there is no opposition on city council. Wayne Lutz, South Burnaby

been affected by the floods. Disasters like this can wipe out any country. But who cares about Bosnia? That’s way on the other side of the planet. Closer to home, the huge wildfires in California have caused some people to coin a new word: firenado. The entire state of California is currently experiencing severe drought. This is also causing crop failures, and the price of certain foods will rise significantly. We are already seeing some of that. Of course, people on fixed incomes will be hit hard by food price increases. As to policy changes, the immediate need is for city dwellers to stop driving cars. I am not recommending that people walk or ride bicycles. In order to get people out of cars and still keep the economy running, we need an effective public transit system. The other day, I stood at the bus stop for almost an hour before I gave up, and this was on a Saturday in the middle of Burnaby. Nobody is going to abandon their car for such a system. There needs to be a massive investment in the public transit system right now. We cannot afford to wait on this until

Where is democracy? Dear Editor:

There have been recent opinion pieces and letters on these two issues which are not unrelated. Democracy? What is it? Dictionaries tell us: a government by the people, which is odd because it is an Athenian concept, 600 BCE, but did not include its slaves. The Romans also had their period of slavery. The Magna Carta, the underpinning of British democracy, was wrested from King John by the feudal barons, not the peasants. The U.S.A. has the reputation as being the greatest example of democracy. The Declaration of Independence states in part: “We hold these truths to be selfevident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.” However, “men” meant white property-holding males – women and slaves need not apply. Many of the signers of the declaration and the constitution were slave owners.

negotiate for limits on speeding in their contracts or for doctors to negotiate for drugs to be banned. Reduced speeding and fewer drugs would certainly make the jobs of police officers and doctors “easier” but no one expects them to negotiate for those restrictions – we, as a society, have determined that certain rules and laws and limits are in our best interest and so we enshrine them into law. Why is the composition of a classroom any different? As a reporter, I’ve always maintained an unbiased “let’s hear both sides” approach – that’s my job, and the job of all those who seek to provide information to the public. But as an individual – as a parent, and more importantly as a human and citizen of this country and world – I support the teachers. Not because I believe in their right as a union to protest (though I do), and not because I think that the government has repeatedly made poor decisions and, at times, illegal ones in the province’s education system (though they have), and not because I want my children to have a conflictfree education (though I’d be ecstatic for it).

Education: ‘Bargaining’ is all wrong maybe it’s time to reevaluate that. I remember returning to the newsroom that day, after the rally in Richmond, and trying to figure out why issues as fundamental to a child’s education as class size or learning supports or composition had even become “agreements” in collective bargaining in the first place. I chalked my confusion up to being young and uncertain of how the world worked, and then I got to work on filing my story. But here I am, more than a decade later, now not so young and uncertain, a mother, having interviewed hundreds of teachers (and counting a few among my friends and family as well), and honestly I’m still baffled. How is it that creating the best possible learning environment for our kids is not something held so sacred that it’s just part of the framework of our system? Why did teachers have to bargain class size in the first place, as though the difference between 18 kids and 22 kids is nothing more than a “workplace condition”? This seems to me like asking police officers to

ers because I believe in the fundamental power of public education – there is nothing else I can think of that can so thoroughly transform, empower and improve a society as quality public education. When we talk about issues like class size and composition, what we’re really talking about is creating a system for public education to exist in its best, most transformative, most powerful form. Why that’s not the priority of every single politician in this province – in the country, frankly – is not just confusing but infuriating. That it’s been left to teachers to “bargain” that framework into place is a sad testament to the fact that it’s not a priority. Until it is, we’ll be having this conversation over and over and over again. And while we do, an entire generation of kids will grow up in a society that hasn’t deemed it necessary to give them the best we could. In return, our kids will not be able to give society the best they could. Christina Myers is a longtime former NOW reporter, turned stay-at-home parent and freelancer.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Democracy is elusive continued from page 7

I don’t intend to demean our brethren to the south. After all, in 2011, we elected our ruling party with approximately 40 per cent plurality of 60 per cent of eligible voters – therefore representing just 24 per cent of the electorate. This, after Prime Minister Harper was found in contempt of Parliament. This election was won based more on the strength of American-style attack advertising than on a popular program. The title of In My Opinion, April 30, was “Is democracy dying in Canada?” In my opinion the question should be: has democracy ever really existed? I don’t expect a perfect solution, just one that brings out, say, 90 per cent of an informed electorate. By informed I do not mean influenced by billionaires buying ads to elect millionaires as they do in the U.S. The entrance of the Burnaby First Coalition into our school trustee elections may be an indication of a greater faith in democracy. I wonder why dedicated souls put themselves forth to run for trustees. The current teacher negotiations are an example of local futility. B.C. teachers’ salaries are ninth lowest of the provinces; $20,000 less than in Alberta, and $15,000 less than in Ontario. As unlikely as is a settlement at the BCTF’s proposal of 15 per cent over four years seems, it still would not catch up with the existing Ontario or Alberta rates. Whatever the settlement is, it will be determined not by the trustees but by the provincial government. However, it is the trustees who are the meat in the sandwich. They have no control over the teachers’ salaries and no control over their income. They are required to balance their budgets to cover the imposed increased costs. Failure to balance the budget usually results in the removal of the elected trustees and an appointment of someone by the provincial government. This balancing seems to come from reductions in maintenance, reduced support staff and fewer teachers. I have no idea why candidates want to serve in such an awkward position, but I salute them for participating in our demo-

cratic process while it lasts. Paul Bjarnason, Burnaby

I read with interest your Page 3 article on the collision between the proposed federal Marihuana for Medicinal Purposes Regulations (MMPR) and the Burnaby bylaw attempting to regulate the growing of medical marijuana for private use. I do a bit of gardening but have never grown medical marijuana. I have monitored this issue for some time. I served on the City of Burnaby community policing committee a few years ago and know that any city position on this matter is heavily influenced by the local RCMP – who has a vested interest in the prohibition of any substances other than alcohol. The proposed federal changes to the MMPR have been ordered suspended by the courts. In an attempt to prevent large scale marijuana industries springing up in Burnaby, the city rushed to enact its bylaw. That is where the problem started as the city has clearly not taken the time required to study its position free from outside influences. In fact, any city bylaw on this matter is simply premature. If someone wants to grow marijuana for their personal medical use, under the existing law the city should take no more interest in their activities than they do for any person gardening or growing plants of any kind on their own property. I could care less if my neighbour raises her own small patch of marijuana plants or has a fine crop of geraniums growing. The city should also care less. If the bylaw is intended to prevent anyone starting a commercial greenhouse growing marijuana – that is another thing. In that case only the bylaw should specifically be so limited by the city. They have no interest or need to be peering into people’s backyards or checking out their greenhouses to attempt to restrict what plants are being grown for one’s personal use.

THE PIPELINE

Is it feasible to drill through Burnaby Mountain? Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

While tension is mounting between Kinder Morgan and the city over access to Burnaby Mountain to assess the routing possibilities, the NOW is asking: Can Kinder Morgan actually drill through Burnaby Mountain? A report commissioned by the company raises serious issues about the stability of the soil and hazards on the mountain and even mentions a Trans Mountain project that was abandoned after a study of the area. BGC Engineering produced a report last spring, investigating whether there are active fault lines on Burnaby Mountain, in response to a query from Belcarra councillors, raising concerns about locating the Westridge Marine Terminal on top of a geological fault zone. The report reviewed historical geologi-

cal surveys for the area, and over the years, geologists seem to be unclear about whether the mountain is marked by fault lines or breaks in the soil caused by landslides. The report concluded there was no evidence to support the idea that there are active fault lines – but the authors couldn’t rule them out either and suggested more geological surveys are needed. “The absence of known active faults is due to the absence of evidence, but not the evidence of absence,” the report stated. The report also cites a 1958 study, outlining several historical examples of problems associated with building on the mountain. For instance, the City of Burnaby had trouble maintaining alignment and grade of a water main built on a slope. There was a school building located within a slide area that was damaged and later abandoned, after “permanent ground displacement,” possibly worsened by the 1947 Vancouver

Island earthquake. Shell Oil Co. abandoned plans for a “large installation” in the area because of unstable soil conditions, and Trans Mountain Pipelines also cancelled an installation after studying in the area. (The report does not state what those installations were.) The old department of highways also had maintenance challenges, due to the settling and cracking of road surfaces, and the Canadian Pacific Railway required frequent maintenance to keep the track level. Much of Burnaby Mountain is cityowned land designated as a conservation area, and there is a large swath across the entire northern face with rugged, steep terrain and cliffs. Kinder Morgan is proposing to use horizontal directional drilling to thread a pipeline through the western corner of the mountain to create a beeline from the tank farm to the terminal. This preferred route,

which was not included in the original application to the National Energy Board, avoids the Westridge area, where many residents do not want the pipeline coming through their neighbourhood. The report suggested further work at the detailed design phase of the pipeline project, which comes after the National Energy Board’s hearing on whether the project can go ahead. There are 434 geohazards – erosion, rocks falling, flooding, for example – along the entire route of the line, from Edmonton to Burnaby. Based on Kinder Morgan’s application, the plan to deal with land-related hazards is to avoid them and design the line in a way that minimizes impact. “Locate pipeline and facilities to avoid avalanches,” is a typical example of phrases found in the application. Whether it’s feasible to even drill through the mountain remains unknown.

Earlier this year, the City of Burnaby, which has intervener status, submitted a 300-page request for information to Kinder Morgan through the NEB, asking the company to address issues with infrastructure, emergency preparedness, environmental safety and technical aspects of the project. The $5.4-billion pipeline expansion has been met with controversy, with B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak questioning its environmental impact, Burnaby’s deputy fire chief raising concerns over expanding Kinder Morgan’s 13-tank storage facility, and residents and the city highlighting a range of issues from earthquakes to property values to expropriation.

20 Top 5 Things to Do

SECTION COORDINATOR Jennifer Moreau, 604-444-3021 jmoreau@burnabynow.com

Sweet success:

Ian Fraser in his new Burnaby warehouse, where he sells supplies for beekeepers and candle makers. The shop opened three months ago, and Fraser says business is growing along with interest in backyard beekeeping. Check out a video at www. burnabynow. com. Jennifer Moreau/ burnaby now

Passion for bees drives his business

hen Ian Fraser was laid off from his high-tech fibre optics job more than a decade ago, he had six months on employment insurance to figure out what he was going to do with the rest of his life. Fraser had taken up Buddhism and liked to meditate on beeswax candles, but without a job, he could no longer afford them. So he started making his own in his home kitchen in a rather modest shack in Ontario. “Within three years, I was selling 50,000 candles ON MY BEAT Jennifer Moreau a year,” he says, with a shy smile, wearing a long denim smock in his Burnaby warehouse. “The next thing I knew, I was the fifth largest beeswax candle maker in the country.” Fraser’s candle-making led to cleaning and selling massive amounts of wax. He began providing supplies to other candle makers, and in 2010, he got his first hive, moving ever closer to his real passion: the honey bee. For Fraser, bees are central to our survival, since they are responsible for pollinating crops. “Some people look at the bees as the canary in the coal mine,” says the 55-yearold Port Coquitlam resident.

For years, colonies across North America and Europe have been dying off or disappearing. The causes range from mites, pesticides and habitat loss, but the latest smoking gun is neonicotinoid – a type of insecticide that acts as a neurotoxin for bees. Some beekeepers and the Wilderness Committee are calling on the provincial government to ban neonicotinoids, something the European Union has already done. “The bees are going to be dying if we don’t smarten up. We’re all going to be dead. We’re just the tip of the iceberg. Two-thirds of our food is pollinated by honey bees. Without the honey bees, without the pollination, our food supply is at risk.” This March, Fraser opened Burnaby’s first beekeeping supply shop in a small warehouse on Winston Street, close to Burnaby Lake. The shop sells starter kits for beginners, protective clothing, bee boxes, nucleus hives and queens. He also sells honey, bees, candles and pollen – nature’s multivitamin, he says. “We pretty well sell everything there is that the hive offers us,” Fraser says. According to Fraser, the buzz around the beekeeping business is huge. “The growth rate is incredible right now. There’s a lot of media attention on the demise of the bee, … and because of that, people are wanting to get involved,”

he says. Fraser himself has 23 hives near a blueberry field in Pitt Meadows, and in optimum conditions, they yield 50 pounds of honey in a week, while slower periods may require a month to generate that kind of volume. “It depends on the condition and what’s available to them,” he says. “They are very weather dependent and crop dependent.” Besides the copious amounts of honey, backyard beekeeping is beneficial for the ecosystem, according to Melinda Yong, an environmental technician with the City of Burnaby. “While the homeowners are collecting honey, the bees are pollinating fruits for us. That’s part of it – the pollination services the bees provide for everyone,” she says. Meanwhile, Fraser is happy he’s found his passion and turned it into a business. “Now I wake up early like a kid at Christmas,” he says. “It’s been the best 13 years of my life. It’s just an incredible experience. To do something that’s so related to the environment, that’s so natural, that’s so grounded, that’s so beneficial to everyone, it’s just that warm fuzzy feelgood feeling. You know you are doing something worthwhile.” For more on Fraser’s shop, go to www. bcbeekeepingsupplies.ca.

Mounties remember

Burnaby Mounties marked the 47th anniversary of a fallen comrade on Tuesday morning. Officers from the local detachment gathered outside the Deer Lake branch to pay their respects to Const. Terry Tomfohr, a rookie RCMP officer who died while on duty 47 years ago on June 3, 1967. Tomfohr was 19 years old when he graduated from the RCMP training depot in Saskatchewan. He was stationed in Burnaby and had been working there for only three weeks when he and his field trainer received a call one evening concerning some youths harassing a senior

in Capitol Hill. Tomfohr and his trainer joined several other attending officers in pursuit of the suspects on foot – and that’s when Tomfohr got separated from the other officers. Burnaby RCMP initiated a search but officers didn’t locate Tomfohr until the next morning. Mounties determined the young officer had fallen off a cliff during the pursuit. In 2002, a memorial was erected at the base of the flagstaff outside Burnaby RCMP’s Deer Lake office. Ten years later, the memorial was upgraded to its current form. – Cayley Dobie

Physics: Burnaby student getting ready to take on the world’s brightest continued from page 1

as organizers decided to send the five students with the highest scores on the Canadian Association of Physicists exam. But the cancellation of the national event means they will miss out on valuable practice with experimental problems, which make up 40 per cent of the international contest. “We need the opportunity to prepare the students for that,” Muthukuda said, adding Canadian high schools tend to focus mostly on theoretical problems in physics classes. UBC took over the Canadian Physics Olympiad three years ago after the University of Toronto decided it could no longer afford to fund it. “We got some money in the last two years but never enough to keep it fully going, and then we went bankrupt,” UBC physics professor and director of the Canadian program Andrzej Kotlicki told the NOW. He has been involved with the International Physics Olympiad for about 45 years – 25 in Canada and 20 in Poland, the country that hosted the very first event in 1967. He’s a big believer in the competition’s benefits. “For the students, it’s amazing benefits,” he said. “For the first time in their

lives very often, they meet the students who are better than they are or the same level. They create the contacts, which stay for life usually. For the people leading it, it’s also an occasion to compare the science programs in different countries. So I think it’s a big deal that we cannot afford it.” UBC puts an estimated $15,000 in in-kind contributions into the national program, Kotlicki said, but other funding – from physics departments at other Canadian universities, from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) and the private sector – has dried up. Considering $35,000 a year is all it would take to keep the program going, Kotlicki said that’s not a good omen for the future of Canada’s knowledge economy. “The issue is, is our future based on development of science and technology or not?” he said. “Anything which promotes and encourages the best of the best, I think is very important for the country.” He said failing to support programs like the Canadian Physics Olympiad will have long-term consequences, but he isn’t hopeful those far-off effects register on the radar of today’s politicians. “I think we will still be

a raw-resources developing country rather than intellectually developing country,” he said, “but the consequences of that are very long term. We’re talking about kids who are in high school now, so will achieve something important for the country in maybe 20 years or something like that, so from the point of view of our average politicians it’s not important because they will be out of office by then.” For Burnaby’s Muthukuda, meanwhile, the cancellation of the national physics competition and camp was a bit of a double-edged sword. He’s missing out on valuable practice with experimental problems and a chance to get together with 15 of the smartest physics kids in Canada. But he also knows he could have been bumped from the international competition during what has traditionally been the final tryout for the Canadian team. He estimates he will now spend about four hours a day and twice that on weekends practising for Kazakhstan. “For the next two months I’m focusing most of my energy and free time on that,” he said. His goal is to bring home a medal. Medals at

the International Physics Olympiad are awarded on a percentile basis, with the top eight per cent winning gold, the top 25 per cent silver and the top 50 per cent bronze. Last year’s Canadian team brought home one silver and two bronze medals. Does Muthukuda have what it takes?

“After spending only a couple of hours with him, I cannot say,” said Kotlicki, who is helping to prepare the youngster for Kazakhstan. “The important thing is that he is very very involved, very eager to do it, and of course he did extremely well on the CAP exam, which got him here. I can tell you now that he is

one of the top five students in the country.” To support Muthukuda’s trip to the 45th International Physics Olympiad in Kazakhstan, contact Burnaby Central Secondary at 604-296-6850 or donate online by visiting the school’s website at central. sd41.bc.ca and clicking the School Cash Online button.

Student earns top award CLASS ACT

Cornelia Naylor

Cariboo Hill Secondary Grade 12 student’s community work has earned her a $70,000 scholarship. Shivani Mysuria was in Ottawa last Tuesday to accept a TD Scholarship for Community Leadership. The award recognizes her efforts to improve active participation and inclusiveness in the community by founding PLAY (Positive Leisure for Autistic Youth), a sports program for autistic youth and their families. Mysuria also volunteers with Rec ‘N’ Read, a program at local elementary schools that helps kids who struggle with reading, and she recently helped organize Operation Med School, a medical conference for students and volunteers.

It’s not every day a 21year-old who hasn’t even finished his degree lands a job as plum as chief digital officer and global vice-president of digital marketing for the biggest student-run organization in the world. But Gordon Ching, a Burnaby North Secondary grad currently studying human geography at SFU, has done just that. Ching flew off to

Rotterdan, Netherlands last week to take up a post with AIESEC, a not-forprofit global network of 100,000 students in 124 countries that provides students with leadership training through internship opportunities with international partners. Before landing the job, Ching served as AIESEC Canada’s national vicepresident of marketing and communications and was responsible for organizing 15 global conferences, including the Canada Youth to Business Forum. He also led AIESEC’s Canadian Youth Voice Survey. In Rotterdam, Ching will manage AIESEC’s online ecosystem, promoting AIESEC’s commitment to youth leadership through global brand positioning, social media campaigns and the like. Ching plans to finish his undergraduate degree after completing his twoyear AIESEC posting.

Bronze L’amour

A Moscrop Secondary Grade 12 student captured bronze at the 2014 Canadian Parents for French National Concours d’art oratoire in Charlottetown, PEI last month. Catherine Zhu earned a spot at the nation-wide French-language publicspeaking competition by first winning the provincial Concours d’art oratoire at SFU’s Surrey campus May 3. Competing in the Grade 12 Core French category, Zhu’s speech was titled “L’amour.” Across Canada, more than 80,000 students from Grades 6 through 12 participated in Concours d’art oratoire 2014.

Burnaby firefighters assess a “victim” during a mock extremeweather disaster at BCIT’s Burnaby campus Wednesday. The real-time emergency response exercise was designed to hone the technical institute’s disasterresponse system. BCIT puts on a live-action disaster-preparedenss exercise every two years. This year’s event, which simulated victims of flooding, involved more than 250 staff and student volunteers. Cornelia Naylor/burnaby now

Your journey starts here.

2015 Volvo V60 Sportwagon a sporty rocket Brendan McAleer contributing writer

he Volvo station wagon is back, and it’s back with a vengeance. This is the Volvo V60 R-Design, and it’s here to blow all five doors off its compact wagon competitors.

Design

If the corporate grille is a terrible idea for some companies, getting it right nets a recognizable style, and the new V60 has that in spades. It’s just a new grille, fenders and hood, but it’s an improved look. Integrated LED lighting is part of the package too, as you’d expect. Blessedly, it looks sporty without the imbecilic fury so many manufacturers seem to be building into their cars.

Environment

Inside, the R-Design

continues the tradition of hot Volvos having among the best-looking seats on the planet. While the outside of the car has been updated, the interior of the V60 is not that much different than its sedan sibling, which has been on the road for a while. The mass of buttons work better the more familiar they become, but there’s no touchscreen, and the navigation display is really quite small. However, what worked in the past works here as well, and the metallic silhouette formed of buttons used for controlling the airconditioning and heating vents is one Volvo quirk that’s really quite handy. All vehicles equipped with the larger T6 motor now have steering-wheel mounted paddle-shifters. Really, the only demerits come as a result of the back seats, which are quite tight. The trunk, however, is pretty spacious, at 430L,

and Volvo’s pop-up cargo divider is certainly worth a mention, with an elastic tie-down to help stop the groceries sliding around.

Performance

Volvo rates the 0100km/h time of their highest-trim T6 model at around six seconds. Two things are different about my particular tester: first, it’s equipped with the optional Polestar tuning software, which bumps power to 325 hp and 354lb/ ft of torque. Secondly, I think Volvo was just making that number up to keep their safety-first image – this thing’s a rocket. There’s plenty of allwheel-drive grip, and the instantly available torque is more than enough shove for the public street. It’s not the 0-100km/h time that counts, it’s the quick passing response that lets you get up and past pretty much anything. The handling is really

2015.

quite good, with the allwheel-drive tuned to dispel some of the nose-heaviness imparted by the big 3.0L six-cylinder out front. Grip is plentiful.

Features

As you’d expect, Volvo’s little wagon is filled with every safety feature imaginable, including a very

sensitive cross-traffic assist, radar-guided blind-spot monitoring with slightly longer range than other manufacturers, and even an automatic braking system to assist with the unexpected. Volvo now extends this system to recognize cyclists and pedestrians, and official crash test ratings have resulted in the highest Top

Safety pick from the IIHS. Fuel economy for that supercharged straight-six isn’t great. Official ratings under the new 2015 fivecycle testing methods aren’t out yet, but US EPA methods netted 13.0L/100km city and 9.4L/100km on the highway for the S60 sedan, which is very close to realworld mileage.

here’s a lot going on this weekend, so you will have to make some tough decisions since all of the action is on Saturday. The weekend weather forecast calls for sun with some clouds – perfect for our Top 5 lineup of things to do. Hats Off Day – it’s the city’s favourite street festival, and it’s on this Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Heights. This year’s theme is the Totally Awesome ‘80s, so pull out your neon shades and high-waisted shorts. Hastings Street, between Boundary and Gamma, will be full of people, free entertainment, a vintage car show, a parade, food vendors and tons of fun activities. Hats Off Day is put on by the merchants in the Heights as a way to tip their hats to the community for all the support they’ve received over the years. While you’re at Hats Off Day, swing by the Burnaby Neighbourhood House for the official opening of their new

THIS WEEK IN THE VIP ROOM

New exhibits at libraries

The Burnaby Art Gallery is reaching out into the community with two new exhibitions at Burnaby Public Library branches. At the Bob Prittie (Metrotown) library branch, visitors can check out collages by Bob Steele. The exhibition features many recent collage works – created from materials ranging from old family photographs from the early 1900s to contemporary magazine advertising – alongside a selection of photographs and artworks from the 100 pieces by Steele that are part of the City of Burnaby’s permanent art collection. Steele has been part of the Burnaby art scene for many years, having had works exhibited in the first Burnaby National Print Show organized by the Burnaby Art Society in the summer of 1961 – six years before the Burnaby Art Gallery even opened. Steele has since had three solo exhibitions at the gallery and has been included in many group shows. The Metrotown library is at 6100 Willingdon Ave. The Bob Steele exhibition runs from June 9 to Aug. 10. At the McGill library branch, 4595 Albert St., visitors can see Baba’s House, an exhibition of work by Lucien Durey and Katie Kozak. The collaborative project includes works produced during the artists’ year-long, self-directed residency in the home of Kozak’s Ukrainian-Canadian grandmother in the small town of Creighton, Sask.

Just in time for Father’s Day, we’re giving away two Samsung Galaxy Tablets (total value, $700) as well as an R&B Brewing Co. keg of beer and swag (value, $150). Plus, watch our exclusive how-to hair video, read about one Vancouver blogger’s top city spots and more. You’re invited to become a Vitamin VIP at www.vitamindaily.com/vip-room

ALOHA (AGAIN) MAUI By Sarah Bancroft

A decade after our honeymoon, my husband and I returned to Ka’anapali Beach, Maui. Which had changed more, Hawaii or us?

Family artifacts: Work by Lucien Durey and Katie Kozak is featured in the new Baba’s House exhibition.

During their time, they produced a series of scanned compositions of ephemera, photographs and beloved objects found throughout the house. The exhibition features household artifacts alongside scanned arrangements. It’s underway from June 10 to Aug. 11. Check out www.burnabyartgallery.ca for more on the exhibitions.
