Burnaby students won’t have summer school Cornelia Naylor staff reporter
The labour battle between B.C. teachers and the provincial government continues to take a toll on Burnaby school district operations, wiping out summer school this week and throwing summer maintenance work into question. The district pulled the plug on its summer school program Wednesday after finding out the two sides in the labour dispute
were still far apart despite recent talks. School officials had said they would wait until the last minute to make the decision and had already announced they were willing to postpone the start of high school classes by a week and elementary classes by a day. But after statements from Education Minister Peter Fassbender and B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker Wednesday, the district decided a deal that would save summer school was just Bring this ad for
too unlikely. “As of today, it appears that the British Columbia Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA) and the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) remain far apart in their bargaining positions,” superintendent Kevin Kaardal wrote in a letter to parents. “Regrettably, as a result, this year the Burnaby School District’s summer session cannot proceed as planned.” In a joint statement earlier on Expiry date: July 31, 2014

Wednesday, the two sides in the labour dispute had said they had attempted to enlist Supreme Court Justice Stephen Kelleher as a mediator, but after exploratory discussions with the parties he had determined the parties were still too far apart.

No, you can’t just dump your pet fish City reminds residents that it’s illegal to dump fish and turtles in lakes Jennifer Moreau staff reporter
The City of Burnaby is reminding pet owners it’s illegal to dump their unwanted animals in local lakes. Melinda Yong, an environmental technician with the city, told the NOW she received a phone call from a resident inquiring if it was legal to release goldfish outdoors. According to Yong, the woman didn’t want her goldfish anymore and was advised by a Vancouver pet store to release them in a Burnaby pond, so she was calling the city to confirm that was OK.

“I did explain to the woman that it’s illegal to release any live fish into B.C.’s lakes or streams without (a) permit,” Yong wrote in an email to the NOW. Common pet turtles and fish – like koi, goldfish and red-eared sliders – are considered invasive species because they are not naturally found in B.C. The animals can cause harm to the ecosystem’s delicate balance, because they may have no natural predators to keep their numbers in check and they can compete with native species for food. Anyone caught releasing a live, invasive species in B.C. waterways can be fined $2,500 to $250,000 on the first conviction. Subsequent convictions can cost between $5,000 to $500,000. Those penalties were introduced

following the snakehead debacle at Burnaby’s Central Park pond. Two years ago, someone released an invasive snakehead fish into the pond, which led to a flurry of media coverage and the great snakehead hunt of 2012. Snakeheads are notorious for quickly multiplying and causing havoc on ecosytems with their voracious appetites. The Environment Ministry finally caught the fish, only after draining most of the pond. The incident led to stiffer penalties for releasing invasive species outdoors and a ban on live snakeheads in B.C. The NOW called Pet Smart in Vancouver, and one of the staff told us that unwanted fish or reptiles can be taken to King Ed Pets or Island Pets, shops with locations in Burnaby. The Pet Smart staff member also said koi and goldfish Last week’s question Do you think the teachers will settle before summer ends?

would survive outside but that people could be fined $2,000 if they were caught dumping fish in local ponds. The same staff member also incorrectly suggested it was OK to dump fish in ponds in Coquitlam and at Simon Fraser University’s Burnaby campus. Island Pets, however, will take fish of all shapes and sizes for resale in the store, and the owner gets a credit to use in the shop. Reptiles are also accepted, provided the shop has a big enough tank for them. Island Pets does not suggest people release their fish outdoors. King Ed Pets also takes unwanted fish and resells them, but it’s rather rare, and manager Ronald Lee said the shop does not recommend dumping fish outdoors.

‘The law can be bought with power or money’ Sentence reduced for Burnaby woman’s killer after Chinese court overturns life term Cayley Dobie staff reporter
From life in prison to seven years – that was the announcement from China this week in the appeal trial for Amanda Zhao’s killer Ang Li. As the NOW previously reported, Zhao was living in a Burnaby basement suite in 2002 with her boyfriend, Li, and his cousin, when the two men reported her missing to the RCMP. Eleven days later, her body was found stuffed into a suitcase near Stave Lake in Mission. Li was charged with her murder in 2003 but by that time had fled to China, and Canadian
officials couldn’t have him extradited. More than a decade after Zhao was killed, Li was arrested in China, found guilty of her murder in a Bejing court, and sentenced to life in prison. Li quickly appealed the court’s verdict, and this week NDP MLA Jenny Kwan received the 30-page ruling from the high court in Bejing. The results of the ruling were announced at a press conference on Monday. The ruling stated that while the court believed Li killed Zhao back in 2002, the evidence presented did not merit a first-degree murder charge but rather the lesser charge of manslaughter. Judges also considered the fact that Li and Zhao were dating and that a pillow fight had gotten out of control as important facts in the case. “We neither understand, nor accept the ruling. The rul-
ing changes our opinion about the fairness of the law,” Zhao’s mother, Yang Baoying, said in a statement read by Kwan at the conference. “The ruling abundantly represents that the law can be bought with power or money in China. We have no choice but to question the law in China. We will not stand by, waiting for them to undermine the law in China. We will continue our very long and arduous journey of pursuing justice.” Kwan and fellow NDP MLA Mike Farnworth told media it is unlikely further justice can be pursued at this time as the case had reached the highest level of court in China. The Chinese court’s decision means that Li, who now goes by the name Jia-ming Li, will be released from prison in 2016. – With files from The Vancouver Sun

per barrel surcharge that Kinder Morgan could charge current customers in order to fund the application to expand the Trans Mountain pipeline. That $1.45 fee translates to approximately one cent per litre in added gasoline costs and adds up to $136 million earmarked for the company’s application. “Consumers are funding the security for Kinder
Morgan investors, but where is the funding for people whose homes, schools and businesses are at risk,” Allan asked in the release. “They didn’t get $136 million to protect their interests.” According to Allan, Ian Anderson, president of Kinder Morgan Canada, told investors that if “the project doesn’t succeed or we don’t get the permits,
all the development costs are being covered by the firm service fees that we are collecting, so there is no risk to us.” That doesn’t sit well with Corrigan, a staunch opponent of the pipeline expansion. “The company gets their costs paid by the consumer, but Burnaby and our citizens have to pay our own costs to protect
ourselves,” he said. “The integrity of the National Energy Board is seriously compromised here. It appears they have already made up their mind.” No one from the National Energy Board or Kinder Morgan was available for immediate comment. Follow Jennifer Moreau on Twitter, @ JenniferMoreau

provisions for “keep right except to pass” will please those who are frustrated by slow drivers – and those who feel no one else is ever going fast enough. While many of the changes – like those aimed at reducing crashes involving wildlife – make good sense and will be welcomed universally, some leave us scratching our heads. For instance, at a time when German authorities have reopened debate over the possibility of setting speed limits on the Autobahn – with proponents citing
studies indicating it would reduce serious crashes – the idea of raising speed limits in B.C. seems counter-intuitive. If the goal is to reduce accidents caused by frustrated drivers, a better solution might be to increase enforcement to get those frustrated drivers off the road. And we’re not sure how a new requirement for drivers with more than five vehicles backed up behind them to pull over will work – especially during rush hour.

IN MY OPINION
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Stop asking for more handouts Dear Editor:
Re: ‘Balanced’ books come with a cost, Letters to the Editor, June 27, Burnaby NOW. It really annoys me when people like Larry Ryan give their opinion and states that it is wrong for the B.C. Liberals to hold teachers and the environment to ransom with the “no new money” and balanced budget tactics. Where do people think the money is going to come from??? I earn a set amount of money each year, and I have to budget accordingly. If I suddenly decided I wanted to (for example) have a cleaning service once a week in my home, I am either going to have to sacrifice something or go out and get a
second job to be able to afford the cleaning service. I have no objection to the teachers or the environment or whatever expensive pet project demands more money – getting that money from the government – but why do I, the taxpayer, have to pay more taxes or ask the province to take on more debt that I will ultimately end up paying, because everyone wants a government handout? If the budget for teachers is fixed, then discussions need to be made on what can be sacrificed. However, in this province, it seems to be that everyone wants a larger and larger handout from the government. No one wants to give up whatever handout they are currently getting, and at the same time, block all new income sources, such as development

of our natural resources. I agree with the balanced budget approach because on a microscale, I have to live my life by it, and I wish government at all levels would as well. I don’t have the ability to issue bonds to take on more debt, and banks will only lend me a fixed amount before showing me the door. The best I can do is sacrifice something in my budget or find another job to add to my income. It’s time the people of B.C. (and the western world) also learn that for increased payouts to incur in one area, then either something has to go in another area,or a new source of income, no matter how disagreeable, has to be allowed to happen – just like it does with their own personal budget.

Christy Clark to blame Dear Editor:
Well, congratulations, Christy Clark, you’ve goaded the teachers into a full-scale strike. You’ve created a situation where there is maximum inconvenience to parents, and big problems for kids to get their end-of-term reports. Anyone who thinks we are living in a democracy might now realize we are actually suffering under a dictatorship Christy Clark rules.
The teaching of our kids is vitally important for the future. They need the chance to get educated in a reasonable learning environment. God knows our teachers should be entitled to parity wage-wise with teachers nationally. What happened to your big campaign slogan? Families first. Yeah, right. At least the kids going to private school are all right.

We have learned that ICBC does not base its settlement offers on how well an injury victim feels. ICBC offers money based on what the victim will be able to prove in court.

A call for teacher support Dear Editor:
Once again, public school teachers are donating their time, passion and money for kids. Some of you complain that teachers are lazy and greedy. Far from it – we are working very hard to direct the public’s attention toward an important part of our future – the need for a great public education system that empowers every student to be a competent, contributing citizen. But teachers can’t do it on their own. We need each and every one of you to support every student. Students need class sizes small enough to get individual attention from their teachers, as well as access to specially-trained teachers to address their needs. Your contribution is simple. Support public education at every opportunity, with your voice, your pen, with your political will. We can make sure that every child gets the top-class education they deserve.

B.C. Hydro announces new Burnaby projects Jacob Zinn staff reporter
B.C. Hydro has some big plans for Burnaby, including several infrastructure projects that were recently presented to the Burnaby Board of Trade. Greg Reimer, executive vice-president of transmission and distribution with the energy company, told the NOW that electricity demands in the area are growing by 2.3 per cent every year and are projected to for the next 10 years. “There’s been a tremendous amount of growth and economic development in Burnaby,” said Reimer, listing Brentwood, Metrotown and parts of South Burnaby as hubs for residential and commercial growth. “Right now, B.C. Hydro is going through a big-build era – much of our system was built out in the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s, and we’re really experiencing significant load growth throughout areas of British Columbia.”

Hydro hasn’t settled on an estimated cost for the Metro North line, though the project is estimated to be completed around 2019. “It takes a lot longer to build a transmission line because of the extensive consultation that we have to do with the many communities along the way,” he said. While the projects are designed to accommodate growth in the city, Reimer said the added substations and transmission line will improve reliability and prevent the system from becoming overloaded. In the case of a power outage, he said these improvements will cut into restoration time.
Local firefighters douse CP sulphur blaze Cayley Dobie staff reporter
Traffic was detoured Wednesday afternoon near Bainbridge Avenue as firefighters dealt with a small fire in one of CP Rail’s opentop sulphur cars running along the Winston Avenue corridor.
The Burnaby Fire Department was called out to the 6800 block of Winston Avenue around 1:15 p.m. on July 2 when one of CP’s open-top rail cars carrying sulphur began smoking, assistant fire Chief Rick Weir told the NOW. “The sulphur was on fire. No visible flame, just smoke,” he said.
The department’s Hazmat team from the Edmonds fire station was dispatched to the scene. The fire itself was contained to one car only and took minutes to extinguish, Weir added. “We went through our protocol – had the Hazmat team respond, contacted CANUTEC (Canadian
Transport Emergency Centre), and we contacted CN hazardous materials team,” he said. “They (CN) sent out a representative and it was just a simple matter of putting spray over top of the cart.” The area, however, was closed for several hours while firefighters and CN staff set up a perimeter to
ensure the surrounding wildlife and waterways wouldn’t be damaged, Weir said. “It took a couple of hours to set up and just to confirm with all the different agencies that there was going to be no run-off or run-off problems into Still Creek or Burnaby Lake. Once that was taken care of, we
knocked it (the fire) down with water,” he said. Weir added that the cause of the fire is unknown and the local department won’t likely investigate it further. Once the fire was put out, CP staff and Burnaby firefighters checked the rest of the train before it was allowed to continue on its way.

Judge refuses guilty plea in school fraud case Former Alpha Secondary bookkeeper will go to trial in March 2015 in case involving 66 irregular cheques Cornelia Naylor staff reporter
A provincial court judge has rejected the guilty plea of a woman accused of defrauding a Burnaby school of $66,000. Jodi Fingarsen, a 47-year-old former bookkeeper at Alpha Secondary, pleaded guilty to fraud in February for 66 irregular cheques she wrote between 2008 and 2010. She had made out some to herself and some to Alpha Secondary service providers, but all found their way into her own personal bank account. In a joint submission at sentencing in
Vancouver Provincial Court on Monday, Crown prosecutor Peter Stabler called the case “straightforward” and asked for a suspended sentence, one year of probation and mandatory counselling. He noted that Fingarsen has no previous criminal record and was at very low risk to reoffend. After reviewing Fingarsen’s psychological assessment and pre-sentencing report, however, judge Frances Howard said she had difficulty with the former Alpha bookkeeper’s “superficial acceptance of responsibility.” Fingarsen has admitted to writing the cheques and to the fact that they ended up in her personal bank account, but she has denied any “malicious intent” and has said someone else could have perpetrated the fraud because she wasn’t the only one with access to her personal account. “I don’t take a guilty plea from someone who’s not actually acknowledging
that they are guilty,” Howard said. “She seems to be doing everything she can in her interviews to avoid admitting the actual act of fraud by kind of slipping under the umbrella of accepting responsibility in a very vague sort of way.” Howard asked defence lawyer Julie Grenier if her client knew she was committing a fraudulent act when she wrote cheques to herself. When Grenier said that Fingarsen considered the cheques she made out to herself “reimbursements,” Howard ruled to strike Fingarsen’s guilty plea and send the case to trial. “How could she possibly plead guilty to fraud if she’s got a legal explanation?” Howard said. She advised Grenier to review the elements of fraud with her client and arraigned Fingarsen for a trial in March 2015. Fingarsen, meanwhile, still faces a par-

grades 10, 11 and 12 who failed a course this year and who won’t be able to make up the courses next year. Only 58 Burnaby students fit that bill, according to Kaardal, and they will be contacted and offered program options across the Metro region to allow them to complete their courses. For the rest of the approximately
7,500 students who registered for summer courses this year, the district is now in the process of issuing refunds, a task it said has been complicated by the job action. As it drags on in to the summer, there is a also chance the labour dispute could affect maintenance projects around the district, including painting, roof replacements, mechanical and electrical upgrades, washroom upgrades, and other repairs.
The teachers’ federation has left it up to local unions to decide if, when and where they will picket during the summer, and Rae Figursky (who stepped into the Burnaby Teachers’ Association president’s post July 1) said local teachers are ready. Local teachers have not picketed schools at all this week, allowing CUPE workers to go about their business, but Figursky said teachers might make a different decision in August.
allel civil claim from the Burnaby school district, launched in June 2012. It alleges Fingarsen stole up to $100,000 from school coffers over three years. During her time at Alpha between 2007 and 2010, Fingarsen was responsible for the school’s financial transactions and some clerical duties, including co-signing cheques, maintaining petty cash, reconciling bank statements and calculating rebates. She tracked school expenses, prepared financial statements and handled money from students fees, vending machines and fundraising. Besides writing fraudulent cheques, the district’s claim alleges Fingarsen “fraudulently converted, for her own use and for her own benefit, various amounts of cash received from numerous sources as a result of fundraising activities, donations, student fees and fees for field trips, etc.” twitter.com/CorNaylor

They tour the world to raise funds for Music for Life, the parent organization of the choir, which works in seven African countries: Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Sudan, Nigeria, Ghana and South Africa. Over its 30-year history, Music for Life has educated more than 52,000 children and helped more than 100,000 people through its relief and development programs. The first choir was formed in 1984, selected from orphaned and vulnerable children in the Kampala and Luwero

ear after year, the Michael J. ournament raises tens F ands of dollars for the Burnaby arts community - and it all d as a humble fundraiser. Fifteen years ago, Gary Morrey, chair of the ctors of for the Michael J. Fox heatre Society, and Chad Turpin, deputy city manager at the City of Burnaby, came up with the idea to host a charity golf tournament to raise funds for the theatre, located at Burnaby he tournament and gala dinner were held at the Riverway Golf Course, raising a modest $4,000 for the society in its first year. More than ade later, the event has become one of Burnaby’s most popular charity events, bringing out nearly the maximum number of participants e started off as a small golf tournament with Chad Turpin and myself running it,” Morrey said. “So now it’s quite a difference.” This year’s event, 7, once again saw 144 ake to the links at Riverway Golf 8 holes and socialize with Burnaby-bred Michael J. Fox his year he brought his son Sam with him and his brother and his mother, and the usual entourage that he brings, which is very good,” Morrey aid. Despite the rain, Morrey said no spirits were dampened and the jovial mood continued on into the evening ople gathered at the ancouver Metrotown for the gala dinner and live auction. “It’s very upscale,” he s ar of the show, of course, is his year, Michael d in a question and answer period during the dinner, which Morrey s was very well-re by guests. Michael, who was quick on his fe to answer questions on his life in New Y favourite rest els about his role on T ife. “It went over very well. P
really happy about it,” Morrey added. The gala’s live auction was also one of the most exciting moments of the evening, according to Morrey - especially when it came down to bidding for a weekend trip to New York City, which included lunch with Michael J. Fox. “It went in a frenzy for about $3,200. Quite a few people wanted that,” he said. Overall the event raised $62,000 for the Michael J. Fox Theatre Society and scholarship fund. The scholarships are given to four or five students each year who demonstrate a desire to pursue an education in the arts - anything from performance art to stagecraft, Morrey added. After 15 years of organizing and hosting the charity golf tournament, Morrey was happy to say the majority of sponsors and participants have come back again and again. “About 75 per cent of the golfers have been golfing with us for 15 years and about 70 per cent of the sponsors, right from the beginning, stayed on board,” Morrey said. Major sponsors for the 15th annual tournament included Hilton Vancouver Metrotown, DSDL Canada Investments LTD., Scotiabank, Michael J. Fox, Mission Hill Family Estate, Ritchie Bros.

Festival has students on a string – or four Jacob Zinn staff reporter
School may be out for summer, but that doesn’t mean kids have to stop learning until September. The Rain City Strings Orchestra is looking for students to take part in its first ever Summer Music Festival, where kids can learn how to play violin, viola or cello. The program is split into two groups: one for beginners and another for “debuts” who’ve played for one to four years. “This is the first year of us doing it and we’re really excited,” said organizer Kathryn Emiko Lee. “I taught the district’s strings group for two years, and then last year, I taught the summer strings program with the Burnaby school district. “I’ve had kids that did that last year that wanted to do it this year – that’s, I guess, the big reason behind all of it.” Lee, who teaches music in Burnaby elementary schools, knows as well as anybody that kids can be reluctant to get into music – in fact, she was one of those kids, begrudgingly learning violin at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts when she was seven. “My parents put me into private lessons and I hated playing violin for about two years,” said Lee with a laugh. “Then I saw a violinist around my age playing really,
really hard stuff and I was like, ‘I can maybe do that one day,’ and I fell in love with it.” The festival is designed for children who are going into grades 4 to 8, and Lee hopes it will inspire the kids to further pursue music. The beginner group will learn basic songs from a strings method book while the debut group will learn such songs as Revenge of the Dust Bunnies, music from the James Bond film series and the smash Let It Go from Frozen. “It’s about body awareness, having fun with strings, learning more about the instruments and what you can do with them,” said Lee of the lessons. Lee will be joined by violist Marcus Takizawa in running the two-week program. “I love teaching strings,” said Lee. “This is a good way for me to teach something that I really, really love and hopefully get the kids excited about it.” The lessons run Monday to Friday from July 7 to 18 at the Cliff Avenue United Church, located at 1600 Cliff Ave. Debut classes run from 9 a.m. to noon and beginner classes run from 1 to 4 p.m. As well, the students will perform a small concert at the end for family and friends. To register, email raincitystring orchestra@gmail.com. Tuition is $300.

Your journey starts here.
Sometimes you’ve just gotta do it yourself CLICK & CLACK TALK CARS Ray & Tom Magliozzi
Dear Tom and Ray: I have a ’68 Chevy pickup that I love and want to keep running for as long as I can. I live on a farm, but I only use it when I have to go to Home Depot to pick up duct tape – it’s a great “old dude” magnet! The truck starts and runs beautifully, but the last time I started it, it began to sputter and die. I opened
the hood and, to my horror, saw that the carburetor was spewing gas. I immediately called the mechanic who lives down the road, and asked him if he would look at it. Unfortunately, he had just successfully retired after many previous attempts, and he held firm even when I offered to rebuild the carburetor myself under his tutelage. However, he did give me a tip that works like a charm: He told me to tap it lightly with a hammer, because the needle valve gets stuck. Sure enough, it worked, but I’m concerned that it might happen while I’m driving and the gas might ignite on the hot manifold. Would you say that
Tolls to cross Golden Ears Bridge set to jump starting this month
this is a good fix, or should I try to find another oldster who has actually worked on an old truck? Thank you for many years of good laughs and, occasionally, good advice! – Hali the Librarian TOM: It’s getting harder and harder to find guys who’ve actually worked on carburetors, Hali. It’s harder than finding a guy to change the goat-skin membrane in my ear horn. RAY: It sounds like your carburetor is flooding and liquid gas is coming out the vents. TOM: Your instincts are correct: That’s not a great long-term situation, and
you’re right to look for a more permanent fix. RAY: But since you can’t get help rebuilding your carburetor, I’m going to suggest that you try to replace it. TOM: Go online, and see if you can find an already-rebuilt carburetor for your 1968 Chevy truck. I’m guessing you have a V-8 engine, and probably a Rochester carburetor. Ideally, you’ll find a remanufactured one for a few hundred bucks that will be just as good as new. RAY: And the needle and the floats will all be brand-new, and should
It’ll cost you a little more to Cross the Golden Ears Bridge starting July 15. The tolls, which pay for building, operating and maintaining the bridge, will increase from five to 15 cents, depending on the type of vehicle. There is no change to tolls for registered motorcycle customers. Customers have several tolling options: a transponder (or TReO decal); video registration, in which licence plates are registered and photographed each time the
work perfectly. Or at least no worse than they worked in 1968. TOM: And if you were game to rebuild the carburetor, swapping it out is even easier. RAY: You simply disconnect the linkage and the fuel line, which is no big deal. Then you unscrew about four nuts that bolt down the carburetor, and you’re pretty much done. TOM: Well, you’re done when you successfully put those four nuts back in, along with the new carburetor, then reattach everything and see if the truck starts. But it’s a
pretty simple job, and you sound like you’re up for it. RAY: A nice trick nowadays is to set up your smart phone and record yourself removing the old carburetor. That way, when you have two or three parts left over, you can go back and watch it, and see where they came from. TOM: This will be a fun project for you, Hali. Plus, the old dudes who are already attracted to your truck will go nuts when they find out that you swapped out your own carburetor. You’ll be swimming in amorous old dudes, Hali.
vehicle crosses the bridge; and “pay-as-you-go,” in which unregistered licence plates are photographed and then tracked. Customers registered with a transponder from Quickpass or a TReO decal will get the best rate. Use of the bridge has increased steadily since it opened in 2009, with more than 11 million bridge crossings in 2013, up more than 25 per cent since the first full year of tolling in 2010.

he Heights Merchants Association has announced the winners for the 2014 Hats Off Day Parade. The annual event includes awards for the best and most creative entries. “All of the category winners showed their creativity with this year’s totally awesome ’80s theme,” said Isabel Kolic, executive director of the Heights Merchants Association. Congrats to the McGill library branch, which pulled in three awards: Best Overall Entry, Most Creative Entry and Best Community/Cultural Group. The library branch decorated a van and book carts in 1980s style, and some staff wore sandwich boards decorated as children’s books from the same era. They also wore oversized, glittery Elton John-style novelty
sunglasses, according to librarian Lise Kreps. The Heights Vancity branch won for Most Imaginative Merchant, while the Burnaby Hospital Foundation won for Best Theme. Winners were treated to refreshments and food at Vancity recently.

First Family Fest kicks off in Burnaby People came out in droves for the first-ever Family Festival in Central Park last Saturday, hosted by Burnaby Community Services. “The festival was fantastic. We had over 750 people come out,” said Stephen D’Souza, executive director of Burnaby Community Services, which facilitates the camping and Christmas bureaus. “The weather was fantastic; everyone had fun.” Burnaby Community Services plans to host the event every year as a fundraiser for the camping bureau, which sends kids from low-income families to summer camps. This year’s event just broke even, which D’Souza considers a success for the first festival. “We had a lot of the families who use our services come out to it,” he said. “We wanted it to be affordable and accessible to everybody.” – Jennifer Moreau

“MILLENNIALS” HAVE FRESH TAKE
ON HOUSING NEEDS Home buyers aged 18 to 35 have different ideas from their parents on what goes into their dream home.
T
here’s a new type of homebuyer on the market. They know what they want and are ready to get their hands dirty to transform a house to meet their unique needs. Stereotypical homes do not entice them; rather these buyers strive to own homes that stand apart and suit their personal lifestyle. Make way for the “millennials”, the new generation of home buyers. A new survey that polled 1,000 young adults between the ages of 18 and 35 about what they wanted in their first or next home purchase found the group is willing to rewrite the rules to homeownership to fit their values. Results indicate that the next generation of homeowners seeks essential, purposeful homes (77 per cent) equipped with the technological capabilities they have grown accustomed to, as opposed to luxury homes many in their parents’ generation aspire to. The findings also demonstrate that 82 percent of “mil-
lennials” prefer to handle home improvements on their own instead of turning to their parents; a contrast to a general misconception that paints young people as coddled or entitled. The survey was conducted in December 2012 by Wakefield Research for Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate. The survey was of U.S. youth but it is considered characteristic of Canadian millennials as well. Key finding from the survey include: Fix-it generation: Nearly 1 in 3 of millennials surveyed would actually prefer a “fixer-upper” to a house with minimal repairs needed. Furthermore, 72 per cent consider themselves just as handy -- if not more so -- than their parents. Inside the home: Fifty-nine percent would rather have extra space in their kitchen for a TV, and they seek to be entertained in every room of their home. In fact, 41 per cent Millennials would be more likely to brag to a friend about a home automation system than a newly renovated
kitchen. Better not Bigger: Unlike their Baby Boomer parents, 77 per cent of millennials surveyed would prefer an “essential” home compared to a grand stereotypical luxury home. As well, 20 per cent want a home office and 43 per cent a home theatre room. High tech: Eighty-four per cent believe that technology is an absolute essential to have in their homes. The most sought-after technical equipment is an energy efficient washer and dryer (57 per cent), security system (48 per cent), and smart thermostat (44 per cent). To this generation, technology is more important than “curb appeal”, the survey found. “ If a home is not up-to-date with the latest tech capabilities, 64 percent of millennials surveyed would simply not consider living there,” according to Wakefield Research.

Master of the mat: Scott Boudreau is ranked No. 1 in the world in his division by the International Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation. visited Boudreau at his Hastings Street studio and asked him to give me a crash course in the Brazilian martial art. Boudreau was both welcoming and engaging. He took me through some warmup exercises that that would be useful in order to defend my position on the mat. Boudreau also showed me some basic grips, much like judo, that I could use to get the upper hand on my opponent. The interesting part for me was when he
described jiu jitsu as the gentle art, although the “snap, nap (choke) or tap (submission)” instructions he gave me hardly seemed well, gentle. Jiu jitsu, Boudreau said, was more about leverage and technique than brute strength that uses clinches, takedowns, holds and submissions. True to my age – closing in on retirement now – I felt great after the half-hour workout, but days later my back seized up like it was nailed to a plank. But that was direct-
ly attributable to my overall lack of fitness and not anything I encountered during my tumbles with Boudreau on the mat. Boudreau proved a master instructor and a good sport as well, providing a running commentary while he took me through what was happening on the mat – both what his superior position offered and the options I had to combat them. I could see that there was a lot of mental ◗Budo Page 28

The Coquitlam Adanacs countered the pre-deadline trade moves by New Westminster in the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League. The junior Adanacs acquired Nanaimo goalie Peter Dubenski and the Timbermen’s top scorer Brett Hawrys at the June 30 trade deadline for the Minto Cup playoff run in return for the playing rights to four intermediate prospects and a 2015 draft pick, including Mitchell McDole, who is currently leading the A league in scoring this season. Hawrys, a lefty, posted 37 goals and 67 points this season. Dubenski had a 78.07 save percentage with the Timbermen. Coquitlam also swapped future draft picks, including a first-round

pick in 2016, with Langley to get James Rahe for the playoff run. Rahe, a big and athletic righthander, led the Thunder with 40 goals and 81 assists this year. Earlier, Coquitlam also picked up Delta lefthander Eli McLaughlin, who last year made a significant contribution towards helping New Westminster make a run to the Minto Cup final. Last week, New Westminster also made a trade with Langley that moved Brett Dobray to the junior ’Bellies for the playoff push. Dobray has 25 goals and 40 points with Langley this season. The Salmonbellies also acquired a goalie from the Ontario league, picking up Eric Penney from the St. Catharine’s Athletics prior to the deadline. Penney posted a 5-9 win/loss
record in goal and a .734 save defender Alex Margetson. But the real winners will be the percentage with the Athletics in the Ontario junior A league this fans, added Weaver. “I’m excited to see season. the opportunities the “(Penney) is a “We’re happy playoffs offer these beauty,” said New with our team. players,” he said.

Michael Valiante got his first victory of the season for the Spirit of Daytona Racing team. The North Burnaby pro driver shared a podium finish with co-driver Richard Westbrook at Sahlen’s Six Hours of the Glen at Watkins Glen, New York on Sunday. The win was the fourth International Motorsports Association Daytona Prototype victory for the sportscar racing team and the second for Valiante and Westbrook, who took the checkered flag two years earlier at Mid-Ohio. The team also had a podium finish at the Chevrolet Sports Car Classic in Detroit, finishing runner-up on the Belle Isle street circuit last month. “Richard and my approach for the last couple of races was to keep the car safe and be in a position that would allow us to take a podium or possibly the win,” said Valiante in an IMSA.com press release. Westbrook took the lead from Alex Brundle after a late-race caution and drove the final five laps in the No. 90 Visit Florida Corvette DP, holding off Brundle in a Nissan Morgan on the final lap to take the checkered flag by 0.877 seconds. Valiante started the race in the front row and rotated with Westbrook through the six-hour race, while leading for 53-car field a total of 100 of the 191 laps on seven separate stages of the race on the 3.4-mile circuit. “Well done to Michael (Valiante), added Westbrook, “his stints were incredible – fast and still saving fuel. I’m just so thrilled for everyone. … It’s just a massive achievement.” Last season, the Spirit of Daytona team had two podium finishes, including a second-place at Watkins Glen. Next up in the Tudor United Sportscar Championship series is at Motorsport Park in Bowmanville, Ont. July 12 to 13.

Women named to World Cup roster
SOCCER
Mountain girls win u-16 Premier Cup in the game to force penalty kicks. Lauren Fuerderer opened the scoring for Mountain on a nice setup from Jordan Angus. The Mountain teens will represent B.C. at the club nationals to be held in Newfoundland in October. “Every game we’ve played with Metro-Ford has been tight, … so it wasn’t surprising the final was close as it was,” said Mountain United technical director Frank Ciaccia. Mountain Utd. also placed its u-14 girls and u-14 and -15 boys in the Premier Cup finals. “We’re happy all our teams are competing in the top-four. We’re happy across the board, … but the bigger picture is developing the kids,” said Ciaccia.

Mountain United FC is off to the Canadian Soccer Association club nationals following a 3-2 shootout win over Coquitlam MetroFord in the under-16 girls’ Premier Cup final last week in Langley. Both teams scored in extra time after finishing regulation time tied 1-1 at McLeod Park on June 30. Mountain keeper Brooke Molby was solid in the penalty shootout, while Jenna Gurniak slotted home the game-winner with the Burnaby-based team’s fifth successful shot from the spot. Emma Cunningham gave Mountain a 2-1 lead with a terrific volley in OT, but Coquitlam rallied later
