City renter fears highrises will force her out Jacob Zinn staff reporter

To Tisa Nowak, the writing’s on the wall. The nine-year resident of 6280 Cassie Ave. is certain that her lowrise rental apartment building will be torn down to make way for Rize Alliance’s Gold House development: two towers stretching 26 and 41 storeys into the Metrotown skyline. “I’m not naïve, I know this is going through,” she said. Nowak said when – not if – the building application goes through, she and her 200 or so neighbours will be displaced as the area densifies with more owner-occupied properties. “This area has always been predominantly rentals, and now they’re taking that away,” said Nowak of the city, noting that a number of other apartment towers have sprung up in the area since she moved in. “You’ve got one highrise here, you’ve got one highrise there, you’ve got another highrise there. Why not wait to see until they’re actually completed before you turn around and build two more?” Nowak’s building is one of four properties up for rezoning, all of which will be demolished if the development is approved. While she estimated that her building has 52 units, she said the majority of the rental apartments have multiple people, and approving this development will put them out on the street. “You’ve got a mother and father with two children in a one-bedroom because

Company’s stock jumps after Ebola decision staff reporter

A Burnaby pharmaceutical company’s stock nearly doubled over the weekend following a decision by the FDA to use

one of its experimental drugs to treat the Ebola virus. Tekmira Pharmaceuticals’ stock reached $25.84 on the TSX on Monday, just days after the FDA changed its stance on the drug from a full clinical hold to

a partial hold, allowing it to be used on patients infected with the virus. The drug will be used to fight the outbreak of Ebola in West Africa, which has already reached a death toll of more than 1,000 people, according to the World Health

PROVINCE AND CITY WANT EMERGENCY PLAN MADE PUBLIC

Kinder Morgan keeps safety plan secret Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

The City of Burnaby is throwing its support behind the provincial government’s push to make Kinder Morgan’s emergency management plan public. The energy company, which is proposing to expand the Trans Mountain pipeline and the tank storage facility in Burnaby, wants to keep the plan confidential because it contains proprietary information, but that doesn’t sit well with Mayor Derek Corrigan. “We know that Kinder Morgan does not have the capacity to deal with potential spills and fires, and we are determined to ensure that they are not permitted to hide from the public

the inadequacy of their plans,” he said in a press release. “By denying access to the emergency management documents, Kinder Morgan is increasing the risk to the citizens of Burnaby and emergency personnel.” The local fire department has been one of the company’s most vocal critics when it comes to safety, claiming the company is not prepared to handle a major fire at the tank farm. Now the provincial government has chimed in, arguing to the National Energy Board that Kinder Morgan’s plans should not be confidential. “It is unclear to the province how emergency response procedures, including the location of facilities and response equipment, or response time maps, could possibly contain information of a proprietary nature,” the province stated in

documents filed with the NEB. When asked why the plan was proprietary, Kinder Morgan spokesperson Ali Hounsell explained that there is information – phone numbers and locations of equipment – that isn’t meant to be shared publicly. However, the city, fire department and province all have a copy of the plan, she added, and there’s a public summary available online. “We have an emergency response plan in place today, audited (and) shared with local responders. We are required to file a detailed response plan for the new pipeline before operation, and we will do that,” she said. The NEB’s Whitney Punchak said the board will review intervenors’ comments and make a decision on the issue “at a later date.”

It’s been a long time coming, but the Burnaby Neighbourhood House finally has a new home. The non-profit organization has been bursting at the seams in a tiny office on Imperial Street for about 15 years, but come September, staff and volunteers will be in a new, purpose-built, four-storey building close to the Metrotown SkyTrain station – a space that’s roughly three times the size of the current location. “We’re really excited,” said executive director Antonia Beck. “We will be able to do so much more in the community with the added space.” The move means the neighbourhood house can host many of its programs on site – programs like the tax clinics for seniors or drop-in groups for families. The new building was secured through the city’s density-bonus program, where developers trade benefits for permission to increase the density of their developments. As an added bonus, the new

organization’s new location at 4460 Beresford St. After 15 years on Imperial Street, the neighbourhood house is moving to a new, much larger space to run community programs. digs include a commercial kitchen and a banquet room, so the neighbourhood house can host its Sharing Cultures dinners on site, instead of the church basement, where they are normally held. Beck is now asking the community to donate $80,000 to cover the costs of new furniture, phones and kitchen setup for the new space. “The neighbourhood house needs the help of the community right now.

Renters: City needs to reconsider continued from page 1

Ward, as well as a resident of a neighbouring building, voiced their concerns. Nowak was one of about a dozen people to submit formal letters opposing the project. “If you look in the City of Burnaby, there isn’t a large amount of rental apartment buildings, so we’re stuck trying to live in somebody’s basement,” she said. “Then you have to worry if it’s a legal suite, do you have any rental rights in an illegal suite, and if I do, what are those rights.” Nowak cited Vancouver’s rental replacement bylaw, which requires developers to designate an equal number of units as rentals if they tear down a rental building with six or more dwellings. “The City of Burnaby doesn’t have such a bylaw,” she said. “I think Burnaby is a little too lax when it comes to things like that.” In contrast, the City of Burnaby collects density bonuses from developers to fund community benefits, including

affordable housing. According to the city’s latest community benefit policy report, Burnaby has received $115 million from developers since 1997. However, the report states only $4 million has been used to fund 19 affordable housing units and three housing grants, with $16 million set aside for future affordable or special needs housing. The rest of the money has been used or allocated for community amenities and various city projects. Nowak also criticized the cost of the new apartments, noting that many are purchased by foreign investors and are left empty almost year-round. She also said she believes many of the tenants in her building are unaware of the development. “The majority of the people in these buildings are immigrants - I don’t think they even understand what that application means to them,” she said. “They’re left in the dark, and when they get their notice to leave in three months, they’re going to be in utter shock.” Twitter.com/jacobzinn

Shooting victim identified Cayley Dobie staff reporter

The victim in Burnaby’s latest homicide has been identified. Jahanbakhsh Meshkati, 46, has been confirmed as the man killed during a shooting near Robert Burnaby Park on Sunday night. According to a release from police, Meshkati was last living in the Toronto area, contrary to earlier reports that stated the victim was from Alberta. As previously reported by the NOW, Mounties received reports of shots fired in the area of Second Street and 19th Avenue around 10:30 p.m. on Aug. 10. When

officers arrived, they found a Meshkati suffering from gunshot wounds. He was taken to hospital, where he died a short while later. Meshkati’s family has been notified but at this time, little is known about why he was shot. Previously, investigators reported the shooting was a targeted incident but at this time there are no suspects and no arrests have been made, the release added. Anyone with information on this homicide is asked to contact the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team by calling their tipline at 1-877-551-4448 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Tekmira CEO and president Dr. Mark Murray in a statement. “The foresight shown by the FDA removes one potential roadblock to doing so. “This current outbreak underscores the critical need for effective therapeutic agents to treat the Ebola virus. We recognize the heightened urgency of this situation, and are carefully evaluating options for use of our investigational drug within

accepted clinical and regulatory protocols.” The boost was short-lived as the company’s stock dropped 18 per cent on Tuesday. Tekmira began testing the drug in humans in January and was granted a “Fast Track” designation by the FDA in March “to facilitate the development and expedite the review of drugs in order to get important new therapies to the patient earlier.”

City seniors will need doctors’ notes for home mail delivery

Burnaby senior calls it an invasion of privacy Jacob Zinn staff reporter

Many seniors have indicated to Canada Post that they will be physically unable to pick up their mail from community mailboxes as door-to-door service is phased out over the next five years. Now the postal authority wants them to prove it. In a mailout questionnaire, Canada Post is requiring seniors to provide them with medical information – a move which Elsie Dean, a member of Voices of Burnaby Seniors, called an invasion of privacy. “Older people on low income, they are being plagued with having to present all the details of their lives in order to get a little bit of help,” she said. “Of course they should deliver mail to all seniors, to all people, actually.”

“One of the big problems we have is that seniors can’t walk more than two blocks, so it’s going to be difficult for many seniors who may not be able to get a doctor’s certificate.” The decision by Canada Post to eliminate home delivery is an effort to save money, but Dean noted there are options to subsidize the national service. She suggested postal banking, a system implemented in other countries in which the post office offers financial services that help fund mail delivery. “The banks do OK, they don’t have a problem covering their costs and making a good profit,” she said. “It’s possible for a very strong organization which the post office is to find other means. “We need to keep our services.” Door-to-door delivery will be nixed in 11 communities across Canada this fall, including parts of Calgary, Halifax and Ottawa. No B.C. neighbourhoods are among those 11 affected communities. The switch to community mailboxes is scheduled for completion by 2019.

IN MY OPINION

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Clean air important to oil industry Dear Editor:

Re: Opposing the pipeline, opinion, Burnaby NOW, Aug. 8. Suggestions that greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from Canada’s oil sands are a significant threat to the planet and that Canada’s oil and gas industry is subsidized are incorrect. Canada’s oil sands currently account for 0.14 per cent of global GHG emissions. According to a study by B.C. MLA Andrew Weaver and PhD student Neil Swart, production and consumption (e.g. use for transportation, etc.) of the entire economically viable oil sands reserve would add 0.03 degrees Celsius to world temperatures.

Nevertheless, oil sands producers understand we must be a part of the broader global solution. Alberta’s GHG emissions law has been in place since 2007. It requires industry to reduce per-barrel GHG emissions by 12 per cent over the life of a project or pay $15 per tonne into a government fund that they direct into lower carbon technologies. The oil sands industry has reduced per-barrel GHG emissions by 28 per cent since 1990, and as we develop the resource to meet Canadian and global demand, we continue to seek emissions reductions through innovation and new technology. Regarding the reference to oil and gas “subsidies,” the corporate income tax rate for oil and gas companies is identical to the rate for other

companies. Oil and gas companies deduct capital expenditures and expenses using the same principles, and often at comparable rates, with other industries. Canada’s oil and gas industry currently contributes about $18 billion annually to public revenues through income tax, royalty and other payments to governments. According to a recent report by IHS-CERA, oil sands companies are forecast to pay $783 billion over the next 25 years – that’s about $85 million a day – to Canadian governments to help fund social services, education, health care and other government programs that benefit all Canadians.

TransLink needs to change

Dear Editor:

The transit system is severely broken thanks to the Liberal government appointment of the board of directors. First of all, before another taxpayer dime goes to TransLink, abolish the current board and give no compensation of any sort to them unless they are willing to go before the cameras and not hide behind any spokesperson and tell the public why taxpayers should fund any kind of their pension/compensation. Next, do a full audit of the money that was siphoned to the always poor

TransLink. Next.

Allan Jang, Burnaby

Wylie McLallen, Burnaby

had to endure in the past year. Last July, the paramedics’ union complained that a new payroll system underpaid some workers and totally missed others. Unfortunately for taxpayers, these are just part of a long line of provincial government computer system failures. In May, The Vancouver Sun discovered that taxpayers were spending half-a-million dollars a year to fly in and house troubleshooters to try and keep the province’s $182 million, glitch-ridden integrated case management system running. This was the same system that

crashed for more than a week this spring. ICBC is currently sending out cheques to 240,000 customers who overpaid for auto insurance because of incorrect vehicle descriptions in their new computer system. There’s more. The budget for the E-Health system ballooned from $30 million to $138 million, according to the NDP. The $89 million BCeSIS system, used to manage student records, was scrapped after years of complaints. Last year, B.C. Auditor General John Doyle ripped the security of the province’s JUSTIN system, which holds details of more than a million police

investigations. Doyle gave 100 recommendations to fix the system, noting, “the information … is not adequately protected from internal or external threats.” If these computer projects were new schools, highways, stadiums or fast ferries, government would be excoriated for not managing the projects efficiently. Technology should be treated no differently – taxpayers deserve to know why these projects are going over budget, why they are failing and precisely what government plans to do about it.

Dear Editor:

My wife and I went to Burnaby Mountain Park on Sunday night to walk our dog and enjoy the views and greenery of what I think is the most beautiful urban park in North America. But we were shocked by the amount of trash littered on the slopes and picnic area by all the people who were there. There were paper bags, plates, cups, plastic containers and bags – just all sorts of debris left cluttering and marring this beautiful space. It was very disturbing. Some folks before leaving picked up much of their trash, but a lot was still left behind on the ground. There are trash containers where this can be put. We live in a free and beautiful country where all liberties are regarded as precious. But there are responsibilities for this freedom and certainly one of them is to keep our beautiful areas clean, and this is something we should all regard as a duty and try to fulfill.

Korean festival takes over Swangard Saturday Tereza Verenca

staff reporter

Burnaby plays host this weekend to one of the Lower Mainland’s largest multicultural gatherings. The 13th annual Korean Cultural Heritage Festival at Swangard Stadium is expected to attract more than 15,000 people on Saturday. “We spent the most money on marketing this year, so with some luck and people’s interest, we’re hoping for a big turnout,” said spokesperson Mike Suk.

The first festival in 2001 was held in Burnaby but then was moved to Coquitlam for the following years. Organizers were able to bring it back this year, thanks in part to a $15,000 grant from the city. “Burnaby is the heart of the Korean community in B.C. It is a central location that’s accessible to everyone and it’s where the majority of Korean-Canadians live and work.” Suk said. The vibe in the stadium will be a little different this time around. While previous festivals focused on Korean heritage, this one will be infused with a lot more

modernity. “Korea is evolving and has become a leader in fashion, music and martial arts. We want to draw in modern elements, how our culture has changed, but have some of the traditional aspects intertwined,” Suk said. Highlights include K-pop, a taekwondo tournament, a traditional drum dance performance and a reenactment of a royal wedding. “The audience will get a chance to see what our customs looked like 1,000 years ago.” One thing Suk is confident all people

will enjoy is the grub. “For the first time, we’re bringing in real mom-and-pop food, real locals cooking. It’s all healthy with no MSG,” he said. Suk and his team, the Korean Cultural Heritage Society, have been planning the festival since January. Over 300 volunteers will be on hand to do the setup and teardown. There is no admission fee. Doors open at 10 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. For more information, visit koreanfestival.ca or check out the Facebook page at www.facebook. com/kchsfestival.

market, give them their coupons and offer support while they shop. This is the organization’s first summer with the program. “This program really helps,” King said. “We’ve had some rave reviews from people; they’re just thrilled to pieces.” King said she only wishes there were some way to bring her single clients into the family-focused program. “We have another large group of folks who are single and low income and developmentally delayed,” she said. “Because they’re single, their buying power is very poor. There are some young people out there, living on their own, scraping it together. That’s the time to impact their learning around how to eat in a healthy way, so we’d really like to be able to do that.” B.C. Association of Farmers’ Markets

executive director Elizabeth Quinn said other communities are finding ways to piggyback onto the Farmers’ Market Nutrition Coupon Program and expand it through fundraising initiatives. On Saltspring Island, a foundation has given money to support 40 extra families with coupons there, while the Vancouver Farmers’ Market is raising cash this month to augment the $15 coupons so each participant gets $30 each week. Quinn hopes the new funding announced this week, which will keep the program going longer, will give other communities time to come up with more such ideas. “We already have the project management happening, so there’s no extra work for us to support more families through coupons,” she said.

Mountain of fun at fair

HERE & NOW

Jennifer Moreau

Local families and residents came out to celebrate the annual Kensington Fair in North Burnaby on Saturday, Aug. 9. “It was excellent,” said Ken Ryan, one of the main organizers. “Just the layout and the vendors all really, really enjoy that fair.” An estimated 2,000 people showed up, and there were 35 different vendors, non-profits and businesses in attendance. There was also food, entertainment, midway rides and a climbing wall. While the weather was fantastic, attendance was down, likely because of all the other festivals happening this past weekend. “There’s just so much going on, the blues festival, and the air show,” Ryan said. “We just need to figure some way to get more people out. That’s probably the busiest weekend of the year.” The Burnaby North Community Association puts on the fair, with help from the city’s parks and recreation department and Volunteer Vancouver. Ryan started the annual fair roughly 20 years ago as a customer appreciation event in Kensington mall, where he managed the RadioShack. Ryan has been organizing the fair ever since. – By Jennifer Moreau, staff reporter

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel offers big-car space Brendan McAleer contributing writer

I

f there’s one way forward for General Motors out of the whole recall-related public relations debacle, it’s decent product. Forget trying to fix corporate culture, forget management restructuring, forget accountability audits and road-maps to synergy. Instead, simply build the cars that people want to buy, and build them well. To that end, while it’s fun to see the Camaro Z/28 scorch around the Nürburgring, or prepare to watch the upcoming Corvette Z06 kick the absolute bejesus out of supercars costing thrice as much, it’s far more important that Chevrolet’s passenger cars are solid and strong-selling. In the Canadian market, that means the small car segment. Since its introduction in 2008, the Cruze has done well, winning over Canadian families with big-car space in a smallcar package. For 2014, Chevrolet has introduced a unique drivetrain into their global car – a 2.0L diesel engine. We haven’t seen diesel in a GM passenger car in decades, and the last time we did it wasn’t exactly a good thing. So, does the Cruze Diesel have enough torque to get traction in the market?

Design:

Conservative nearly to a fault, the Cruze has a design that’s aged well, unlike some of its flashier stablemates. While the front fascia is dominated by a large, bowtie-branded grille, it’s not shouty at all. Diesel-equipped Cruzes come in a single trim, very well-equipped, which means you get standard 17-inch alloys and a bit of brightwork around the windows. In a darker colour, as with this week’s tester, the most striking thing is just how big the small car has got. The Cruze is now essentially the same dimensions as the old Impala. There’s a slight flavour of Impala to the rear taillights as well. But, if you find some of the other small car options in the market a bit on the outlandish side, the Cruze

should fit nicely in your driveway. It’s the equivalent of a nice dark grey pair of trousers that go with everything.

Environment:

Inside, the Cruze is less trousers than it is cargo shorts. Despite being classified as a compact, there’s a surprising amount of room inside, both in front and out back. Taller drivers will like the depth to which you can lower the seat, and even with it set to fit a larger driver up front, rear seat passengers still have plenty of room. I’m of two minds about the dash treatment, which incorporates a swathe of mesh-like fabric to complement the black and silver motif. On one hand, it looks rather nice. On the other hand, I have some reservations about how well it’ll hold up to use, particularly when kids are involved. But other than that, the Cruze has a nicely laidout cabin that’s roomy, with decent sightlines. Being a higher-end model, everything in the diesel model that you expect to be covered in leather is, and the trunk is plenty huge. If you were looking for a machine with which to cross huge tracts of land, this’d appear to be the right sort of beast of burden.

Performance:

The single splash of colour on the rear of this week’s Cruze was a small green badge with a 2.0 symbol on it. That means that under the hood of this conservative-looking little sedan is its party-piece: a 2.0L turbodiesel engine cranking out 151 hp at 4000rpm and 264lb/ft of torque at 2000rpm. That’s considerably more pep and grunt than you get with the next-most powerful engine on offer, a 1.4L gasoline-fuelled turbo four-cylinder. This is mated to a six-speed automatic, the only transmission on offer. If you’re expecting a barn-burner, this isn’t that sort of car. While the Cruze Diesel puts out figures that pip everything else on offer, the transmission and the throttle response are most definitely programmed for cleanrunning economy. However, mine the

torque a bit, and the sprightly chassis responds well. This is an ideal TransCanada warrior, built to haul up the mountain passes and then cruise on through the flat sections – er, no pun intended. There’s even a brief over-

boost function if you need to get around a semitrailer, or up a particularly steep section, with torque rising to 280lb/ft. Where the Cruze offers its best performance is in fuel economy. Cruze Page 20

Cruze: New 2014 diesel edition a small car fit for cruising long distances continued from page 15

Not unlike VW’s TDI range of engines, the only competitor in this entry segment, the diesel Cruze is one of the few vehicles that hits its official fuel economy ratings in realworld driving, even under

the highly optimistic 2014 2-cycle testing. Observed highway mileage dipped below the 5L/100kms mark, where the Cruze really excels. Shorter commutes don’t work as well with diesels, but for long distance travel, this car excels.

Features:

Very well equipped from standard, the Cruze can be optioned with a host of features to make long distance travel that much more enjoyable. Chevy’s MyLink navigation system, based around

A nine-speaker, 250Watt Pioneer audio system is optional, as is a power moonroof, and backup sensors – but the rearview camera is standard. The enhanced safety package contains a suite of driver’s aids that can be found across almost the entirety of the Chevy range, including blind spot alert and

cross-traffic alert. Official fuel economy ratings under the old system are 8.7L/100kms in the city and 5.1L/100kms on the highway, under the new 5-cycle testing. In the real world, the Cruze can best these figures.

SUMMER SALE

Seeing Clearly in Eye Care Your pets’ eyes are one of their more sensitive organs, making eye care an essential part of pet care. Some awareness and monitoring goes a long way to ensure proper eye care and monitoring by pet parents. If there is any eye-related discomfort, pets will typically rub their faces against carpet or furniture. They may even try to scratch or soothe themselves with their paws. This can be unsafe as the nails can traumatize the eyes or other facial structures. Your pet depends on you to provide this important part of his or her well-being. Pet parents should perform a weekly health maintenance check up on their pets (more frequently for puppies and kittens). During the routine evaluations, look for any redness or swelling in or around the eyes. If your pet squints or is abnormally sensitive, it may be an early indicator of a potential problem. If you notice green or yellow mucus discharge in excessive amounts, this would indicate towards an eye infection. Dogs and cats will get some “sleep” (normal physiological eye discharge) in their eyes routinely. Regularly checking the eyes will help you differentiate between what is normal and abnormal for your pet. Healthy eyes of dogs and cats are moist and clear. Dogs with long hair-coats can be prone to eye infections due to the hair irritating the cornea. Professional groomers are good at identifying the appropriate length of facial hair for dogs and their advice should be sought, if you cut your pets hair at home. Bathing can also lead to eye irritation if the shampoo comes in contact with the eyes. It is best to do wipe downs of the face carefully rather than splashing water or shampoo on the face when bathing pets. This should help prevent irritation to sensitive parts of the face including the eyes, nose and ears.

Many dogs can get brownish stains below the inside corner of the eyes, especially the light-colored breeds. There are several causes of the overflow of tears. Miniature dog breeds and Persian cats often have more prominent eyes. This stretches the eyelid and may cut off the drainage system. This is the most common cause and there is little we can do to correct it. Some animals are born with an abnormal drainage system that may or may not be surgically correctable. Sometimes, the eyelids turn inward and block the drainage. This is also surgically correctable. It is important to remember that while most of the staining due to tears is a cosmetic problem, it can get quite unsightly if not cared for. Your veterinarian should be able to advice you on appropriate treatments if the tear staining is considered due to other potential causes such as allergies, eyelid anatomy or other irritation to the eyes. Annual health checkups by your veterinary team will ensure that more subtle changes to your pets’ eyes do not go unnoticed. By Dr Jangi Bajwa, Veterinarian at Hastings Veterinary Hospital, Burnaby

Taking an axe to the tough squash GREEN SCENE Anne Marrison

Question: How can I keep squash over winter? In the past we’ve kept it till January, when it starts to rot on the inside. I have kept it in a cool place and apart so they don’t touch each other. Can they be cut up and frozen? Jimmymac, South Langley Answer: Sure, squash keeps well if you cut it up and put it in plastic bags in the freezer. That’s how I keep acorn, delicata and butternut squash. The newer varieties appear to be bred for fast production, small size and a smooth skin. All are delicious squash, but unless they’re frozen, none keep reliably much past January. The heritage squash do keep reliably outside the freezer, and they have excellent flavours. These are the squash that kept

North American pioneers alive through long, cold winters. But they’re not perfect. Heritage squash are later to fruit, often the skin is very ribbed or bumpy and that skin can be so tough you need a cleaver or an axe to cut them. Many have a thick, fibrous layer holding the seed. Also many heritage squash grow very large and some can be too heavy to lift. Once I had to cut one out with a wood axe where it had grown because I couldn’t lift it until it was halved. Question: I want to seed spinach in pots this fall. I used to seed Bloomsdale spinach but didn’t have too much success lately. So I wanted to ask you what your favourite spinach seed is that would be available locally. Bernie Epting, Vancouver Answer: Avon is spinach that’s especially good at overwintering. This type has large, tender leaves and grows fast. Another spinach that gets through most of our winters is Samish. This spinach has thick

BURNABY

leaves and doesn’t hug the ground as much as some so it stays a little cleaner. Both of these should be available locally because they’re sold by West Coast Seeds (www.westcoastseeds.com). Most garden centres carry West Coast Seeds. The company is based in the Ladner area, where they have a store and test garden. You can also order online. Question: Most years I leave my dianthus plants in the pots and store them in our shed, and in the spring, new growth starts again. But this year I am moving to Vancouver Island and would

like to collect dianthus seed. Is it the brown, old flower heads that should be collected for seed? Jo-Anne Harrison, Abbotsford Answer: The capsule holding the seeds is directly behind the old petals. Usually the last trace of dried petals has to vanish before the seed is ripe enough to harvest. You can test a couple of seed heads by shaking the seed into your hand. When the seed flows freely it’s ready to harvest. But if your pots are out where rain could attack them, it might be best to cut a few stalks of your oldest flower heads and dry them inside.

Rain-soaked flower heads can rot. Also, do take at least one of your pots of dianthus with you when you move. Odd things can happen in moves and this

way your dianthus will be doubly safe. Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions. Send them to her via amar rison@shaw.ca.

Art: Artist Brodie Kitchen working on an outdoor sculpture in Deer Lake Park.

Kitchen is using a naval camouflage technique from the First World War called dazzle painting to create a collapsible structure for the Tin Can Studio exhibit.

Tin Can creator stops by Deer Lake Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

A mobile arts studio stationed in Burnaby’s Deer Lake Park hosted Vancouver artist Brodie Kitchen last week. Brodie, one of the original creators of the Tin Can Studio, was working on new pieces to go on display in the park. “He’s basically drawing inspiration from the structures and the forms made (in the Tin Can Studio) … and drawing inspiration from the park,” said Caroline Ballhorn, who runs the studio with Jenny Lee Craig. On Wednesday, Kitchen was working

in the park, employing a dazzle camouflage technique used on marine vessels in the First World War. Dazzle painting used intersecting geometric shapes and colours to obscure the image of a ship on the horizon. The Tin Can Studio is an 18-foot Streamline trailer converted into a mobile arts space, where Ballhorn and Lee Craig host art shows, workshops and guest artists. Sept. 1 marks the final day for the studio’s Deer Lake stint, and there will be a closing celebration with performances, games, awards and music, from 5 to 9 p.m. For more info, go to www.tincanstudio. org.

Lakers square series in Maple Ridge Tom Berridge sports editor

It’s a new series. The Burnaby Lakers shook off back-to-back losses to Maple Ridge to even the Western Lacrosse Association semifinal series following an 8-6 win at Cam Neely Arena on Tuesday. The Lakers opened up with a 3-1 first period and never trailed after that to knot the series at two games apiece. Game 5 was played on Thursday in Burnaby (after NOW deadlines). Burnaby took the lead 2-1 on goals 10 seconds apart by Shaun Dhaliwal and Jackson Decker midway through the first period. Scott Jones got his first of two tallies later in the opening period. Game star Dane Stevens scored the game-winner with a shorthanded marker at the 13-minute mark of the final frame. Tyler Richards got the win in goal, stopping 21 shots in the tight-checking game. Riley Loewen of Burnaby was busy on the attack for the Burrards, scoring four times and adding a pair of assists to lead all scorers. Loewen momentarily tied the game at 3-3 in the middle period, but Tyler Digby replied less than half a minute later to reestablish the Lakers’ lead.

A tight series: Scott Jones, in white, scored two goals to lead the Burnaby Lakers to an 8-6 win over the Maple Ridge Burrards in Game 4 of the Western Lacrosse Association semifinal on Tuesday.

“It was very physical but a clean game. It was not easy to get in tight,” said Burnaby head coach Rory McDade. “We responded well to (Monday’s loss). We didn’t play well the game before.” Digby’s goal in the second period and Steven’s shorthanded tally were timely momentum-swing-

ers, McDade added. But when Pete McFetridge capitalized on an attempted sneak play by the Burrards that ended up in an empty net midway through the third period it gave the Lakers a three-goal lead. “It was definitely a huge break for us,” McDade said. “It’s been a great,

great series, so far. It definitely is physical.” Game 6 is back in Maple Ridge on Saturday. If necessary, a seventh and final game will be played on Monday at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre. In the other semifinal, the New Westminster Salmonbellies were eliminated from the playoffs fol-

lowing a 16-13 Game 4 loss to the Victoria Shamrocks at Queen’s Park Arena on Wednesday. After falling behind 126 after two periods, New West staged an improbable comeback, scoring seven times and coming to within two goals of the ’Rocks with three minutes left to play.

Burnaby Minor spreading its hockey roots Tom Berridge sports editor

The Burnaby Minor Hockey Association is continuing to build on a new base of skill development. “It’s the first foundation in creating continuity and longevity in the association,” said fourthyear director of hockey operations Mark Coletta. Burnaby Minor named three strong rep coaches for the upcoming season – former Chicago Black Hawk draft pick Jimmy Cammazzola at bantam A1, former junior A captain Andrew Graham at peewee A1 and Jason

Scoffins at the atom A1 level. The coaches will help oversee a greater concentration on skating and skill development at the Hockey 1 through 4 age levels. The focus will be on the development side, utilizing a more creative use of ice times at the lower levels to increase skills, said Coletta. That would mean having two teams on the ice at one time and sharing coaches and resources through the various division levels. “What we want to do is create a fluid and consistent message through all our atom, all our peewee and all of our bantam teams,”

said Coletta. “With the new board and the new rep coaches in place the team goals are to no longer just be the association that is an afterthought to the Burnaby Winter Club. “With the right model and the right people, we think we can compete for our bantam tournament in the next four or five years.” Coletta points to the success of the Seafair hockey association in Richmond that has begun icing stronger and more competitive minor teams in the Pacific Coast league. As a result, all A1 and A2 teams will practise together, giving rep

players two skill development sessions, one team practice and two games each week. “The more time spent on the ice and the more work on skill tactics, the better these young players will be,” Coletta said. “We’re offering our players and parents the best hockey experience in the community – good coaching, good ice times and good development. We have to give parents a reason to stay.” Coletta would also like to see Burnaby return to its original maroon and white and old Burnaby Minor branding. Tryouts start on Aug. 23. Go to the BMHA website for details.

Emma and Evan March of Burnaby are a local onetwo punch for Canada at the 75th Little League World Series, which begins this weekend. Twins Emma and Evan play for South Vancouver Little League that won the Canadian national title following a 4-1 victory over previously unbeaten Toronto High Park in the championship game last Sunday. Emma, 12, is a pitcher and plays first base, while brother Evan is the team’s catcher. Emma struck out seven batters and threw a onehitter in the semifinals of the provincial tournament in a 12-0 win over Victoria Beaconhill. She also chucked another onehit game at the nationals in a 10-0 win against host Elites de Valleyfield that secured a berth in the semifinals for South Van. Emma also helped her cause at the plate against Valleyfield, with three hits in three trips to the plate, including two runs batted in and a run scored. The B.C. reps blanked the Southwest All-stars from Alberta 2-0 in the semis to advance to the national Little League final. Evan finished the nationals in top 10 in batting with a .450 average, including nine hits, two home runs and nine RBI. Emma was not far behind, batting .368 with seven hits, including two doubles and three RBI. South Van fielded a 62 record at the nationals, while scoring 53 runs and allowing just 18. South Van’s provincial title was its first in 38 years, while Emma becomes just the 17th girl to play in the Little League World Series. South Vancouver will represent Canada in Williamsport, Pennsylvania against Mexico today (Friday).
