One wee turtle at a time T

he endangered Western painted turtle is the last native freshwater turtle living in B.C., and the largest known population resides at Burnaby Lake. Reporter Jennifer Moreau visits with three women who watch over the city’s protected species.

INTO THE WILD They were the last of the wee ones. On Tuesday, three biologists released the four remaining Western ON MY BEAT painted turtles into Jennifer Moreau Burnaby Lake after the reptiles were rescued from their nesting beach following the CN coal spill in the spring. The baby turtles were dug up from the sand, some as tiny as a fingertip, and raised in government care till they were large enough not to be swallowed by invasive bullfrogs. Each has a small radio transmitter attached to its shell, so the team can track its movements. Government biologist Kym Welstead is joined by Aimee Mitchell from the Coastal Painted Turtle Project, and Deanna MacTavish, an SFU student doing her master’s project on the turtles. Welstead has brought her young daughter to help gingerly place the turtles back in the water along the shoreline. The reptiles take to the water quickly but linger a while before disappearing beneath the lily pads. “It’s really nice to bring them back. It also gives you a lot more confidence in their survivorship,” says Welstead. “I think they love it. It’s unlimited food for them till the winter comes.”

ONLY TWO NESTING SITES The Western painted turtle is listed as endangered – just one step away from extinction in Canada. Welstead estimates the overall Burnaby Lake population is now at 150, but she would like to see it grow to 300 or 400. There are Western painted turtles at Deer Lake, as well, and they travel along Deer Lake Brook, the one-kilometre waterway connecting to the two lakes. Burnaby Lake is home to one of two known nesting sites. Welstead won’t disclose the location of the second – all she will say is it’s in the Fraser Valley. “People poach,” she says. “We’ve had poachers at Deer Lake.” The turtles face numerous threats: road deaths, trapping, natural predators, and illnesses brought in by other invasive species.

Home at last:

CIVIC ELECTION 2014

Burnaby First runs full council slate Jacob Zinn staff reporter

A few familiar faces, as well as some new ones, are running for city council with Burnaby First, as announced at the coalition’s first two town hall meetings. Former TEAM Burnaby candidate Ray Power has officially joined coalition’s council slate, along with newcomers Jason Chan, Matthew Hartney and Linda Hancott, wife of BFC mayoral hopeful Daren Hancott. Former Parents’ Voice school trustee candidate Charter Lau also announced he was running for council, and Shakila Jeyachandran, who was running for school board, is now also seeking a council seat. “We had a long vetting process and we had a couple people switch from one position to the other,” explained Daren regarding the construction of the slate. They join former independent candidate Nick Kvenich and ex-Parents’ Voice school trustee contender Helen Ward – who announced their candidacy in August – on the full slate. As well, the BFC now has six members running for school board, including former independent Franca Zumpano-Luongo, Janice Beecroft of the Burnaby school district, and new candidates Maria Parente and Keith Tong. The BFC previously announced former Parents’ Voice spokeswoman Heather Leung and retired teacher Ben Seebaran as school board candidates. During the second two-hour

Candidates line up: The Burnaby First Coalition has a full council slate heading into November’s municipal election, as well as six school trustee candidates, many of whom appeared at the BFC’s second town hall meeting on Wednesday night. meeting in North Burnaby, members of the coalition called for change at city hall, echoing sentiments gathered from residents over the past few months. “It’s loud and clear from knocking on doors that people want change,” said Daren. “I want to bring that with my team – change and transparency, with accountability – to city hall.” Linda said the Burnaby Citizens

Association is not listening to the real issues of Burnaby residents, and Ward – whose father ran for the BCA decades ago – said council has “lost touch with its roots” of NDP pioneers Tommy Douglas and J.S. Woodsworth. But perhaps the most scathing remark came from Hartney, a professional accountant specializing in government. He paraphrased Sir John A. Macdonald, who said

a hard-working government is required for a great city, province or country. “I wonder, how do we have a hard-working government for the community, for the people, when it’s complimentary golf, vacations that are paid for? That, to me, doesn’t reflect the intent of what we’re talking about when we have Burnaby First Page 10

Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Burnaby-Douglas MP Kennedy Stewart wants Kinder Morgan to register with Elections B.C. as a third-party advertiser because of the company’s pro-pipeline expansion ads. The official civic election period started on Sept. 30, and under Elections B.C. rules anyone running ads on an election issue has to register as a third-party advertiser and disclose advertising costs within 90 days after the Nov. 15 election date.

“Kinder Morgan needs to keep their nose out of our local elections, and I’ve asked Elections B.C. to enforce the law,” Stewart told the NOW. Opposition to the pipeline expansion is a forefront election issue in Burnaby, Stewart pointed out. “I went door-knocking with the mayor’s team last weekend, and it was all people wanted to talk about, and they support the mayor’s position, by the way. I also found out that Kinder Morgan is sending people letters and calling their homes during this election

period,” he said. Elections B.C. spokesperson Don Main confirmed staff was looking into the issue, although he couldn’t say when a decision would be released. The Elections B.C. website defines thirdparty advertisers as anyone who runs ads independently from a candidate or electoral organization, including advertising on an issue “such as funding for a local recreation centre or preserving parkland.”

Harper hypocritical when it comes to pledges “We do our part.” But do we? If a man is honourable does he keep Harper seems to have one rule for the his promises, his commitments, his word? If a country is honourable does that mean war on terrorists, another for the battle to save the planet.

will meet its international commitment. I think that when you make a commitment, you need to keep it, and it’s very difficult for us, for Canada, to expect other countries to meet their commitments when Canada can’t meet its own.” Harper doesn’t even pretend to try and meet those international commitments. The government does not even have detailed plans to meet the environmental targets. We suppose this shouldn’t be a surprise given changes to environmental

protections under his rule, and the ongoing gagging of scientists – but to puff out his chest and talk about keeping international commitments for war when he can’t even keep his own promises on climate change seems hypocritical. Harper wanted to appear statesmanlike this week in his call to war. Unfortunately it only reminded us that anybody – even a prime minister – is only as good as his word. And all the chest pounding about war can’t drown out Gelfand’s damning report.

IN MY OPINION

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Council should cooperate more Dear Editor:

Burnaby city council and the fire service make a good point about ambulance wait times (Ambulances are taking too long, Burnaby NOW, Oct. 1), but perhaps the question needs to be asked why Burnaby, with a population of approximately 230,000 has only one ambulance station – the same as Bowen Island, population 3,500! Granted that political boundaries and ambulance service boundaries are different, and that there are two nearby stations (one in east Vancouver and one in New Westminster), but the fact remains that Vancouver, population approximately 600,000, has nine ambulance stations compared to Burnaby’s one.

In light of Burnaby’s four town centres sprouting highrise towers up to 70 storeys at a pace that most of us find frightening, is it not time our mayor and council paid more attention to their own inadequate response to population growth and unrestrained densification, rather than criticizing other service providers whose task they might aid with a cooperative stance rather than knee-jerk confrontation? Thomas Hasek, Burnaby

Impress with a Healthy Smile! LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Tanker safety is paramount continued from page 6

Burnaby terminal, they must be inspected for compliance with Canadian and international regulations, including a vessel’s history, every 12 months. All the tankers must be of double-hull construction and carry advanced navigational systems. A loaded tanker must have a captain and two local pilots on the bridge, be escorted by three tugboats, one of them tethered to the tanker, are allowed to sail only during daylight hours and slack tide, and when the shipping lane is cleared off all other traffic. Whole operation is monitored by the port’s advanced airport type guidance system. Once though First Narrows, two tugboats leave, while the third now untethered tug accompanies the tanker to East Point off Saturna Island, where it is again tethered to the tanker for trip through Boundary Pass and Haro Strait – and only then the two pilots and the tugboat leave. To increase the tankers’ safety even more, Kinder Morgan is proposing that tug escort continues all the way to the mouth of Juan de Fuca Strait. So ask yourself how these tankers could ever spill any oil. Jerry Sklenar, North Vancouver

Check your facts first

Dear Editor:

Re: How is Burnaby MLA spending her time?, Letters to the editor, Burnaby NOW, Sept. 26. The Internet is a wonderful thing. It allows me to search for information and check my facts before I commit my thoughts to an email and make a fool of myself by writing things that aren’t true. That doesn’t necessarily stop me from making a fool of myself, of course, as my friends probably know but are mostly too polite to tell me. Still, I can’t help but feel for poor Jim Ervin, who could have checked the facts surrounding the Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement – which has nothing to do, as he seems to think, with the odious deal that Harper signed with China – but apparently he didn’t. And yet that didn’t stop him from

criticizing MLA Jane Shin for travelling to Ottawa, at her own expense, for the signing of the agreement. Mr. Ervin could also have verified that the Keralan celebration of Onam, which he criticizes Ms. Shin for attending, took place right here in Burnaby, not in Surrey as he states in his letter. Ms. Shin is the New Democrat Official Opposition deputy spokesperson for trade, immigration and multiculturalism, so these activities fit right in with her caucus duties. That’s on the Internet too. Glen Porter, Burnaby

Drop transit zone system Dear Editor:

Metro Vancouver’s zone boundary system, which distributes Vancouver and the UBC area into Zone 1 and nine municipalities into Zone 2 (mainly North Vancouver, Burnaby and Richmond), is unbalanced and broken. The geographical location of Zone 2 creates issues for commuters trying to travel within boundaries without crossing into Zone 1. For example, commuters must pass through Vancouver when travelling from North Vancouver to Burnaby or Richmond. Also, we cannot rely on commuters to consistently upgrade fares when briefly crossing boundaries because TransLink largely operates on an honour system. There are many who do not pay for fares at all due to the lack of enforcement. To fix this issue, TransLink should abolish the entire zone boundary system in Metro Vancouver. A one-zone system would ameliorate the problem of those who do not pay for additional zones, thus solving part of the honour system, and eliminate the difficulties of negotiating boundaries. A one-zone system is more reasonable than partitioning Zone 2 into smaller zones, and cheaper when upgrading fares. An alternative would be a new SkyTrain line for those travelling and remaining within Zone 2, but this would cost millions of taxpayer dollars. Would you rather continue with a faulty zone system when additional expenses could be unnecessary, or consolidate Metro Vancouver? Karen Ng, by email

own you. We are teaching students how to think critically, and corporate sponsorship will likely hinder the analytical process by creating bias. It is easy and tempting

to embrace this opportunity to help relieve the financial need for learning resources in the classroom, but the overall and ultimate impact on our goals and philosophy of education has to be seriously

considered. I am in favor of an open and liberal education free from any negative influences imposed by corporate sponsorship. Ben Seebaran is a school trustee candidate with the Burnaby First Coalition.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Letter writer just went too far Dear Editor:

Re: Protesters help terrorism, Letters to the editor, Burnaby NOW, Sept. 24. Usually Ziggy Eckart’s frequent letters are entertaining, whether one agrees or not with all Ziggy’s opinions. However, accusing “anti-pipeline supporters” of “assisting global terrorists” is extreme, and stating “ISIS, Hamas, Boko Haram … all appreciated (Mayor) Derek Corrigan’s and (MP) Kennedy Stewart’s support” unwisely borders on defamation and ought to be addressed by Ziggy or by the Burnaby NOW editor with an apology and retraction. Phil Moir, by email

It’s really all about petroleum Dear Editor:

Re: Protesters help terrorism, Letters to the editor, Burnaby NOW, Sept. 24; and Is writer living in a

glass house? Letters to the editor, Burnaby NOW, Oct. 1. If the Eva Dertons and Ziggy Eckardts were really concerned about terrorism, you would find them at anti-war rallies and protesting the arms trade, but they don’t do that. When the Eva Dertons and Ziggy Eckardts warn us about the threat of terrorism, all they are concerned about is violence by Arabs or Muslims or anyone who threatens to reduce the profits of the Western petroleum industry. As I have pointed out before, terrorism has existed since the first human societies. It has always been used as a tool of military strategy. You can never eliminate terrorism, because there will always be individual psychos. What you can do is eliminate large-scale terrorism, and you do that by eliminating social injustice and war. As for the tar sands, there are two main reasons to leave that dirty oil in the ground. The biggest one is the actual and potential

environmental degradation, which has been well established, except in the minds of the global warming deniers, who reject all science and make up their own reality. Even if it were necessary to use that oil, we should refine it in Canada and make products out of it in Canada instead of shipping it overseas as raw material for the lowest possible price, which is the Conservatives’ way of managing Canadian resources. However, it isn’t necessary to use that oil. There is enormous potential in the sustainable energy sector, and we need to be investing the wealth of the planet there. There are only two applications where a petroleum-based power source is needed. Those are armoured fighting vehicles and combat aircraft. No other mobile power source needs such high energy densities, and the stationary ones can be as bulky as you like. So this is the real logic. If you want to fight wars, you need a lot of oil, and

you have to fight wars to secure your supplies of oil. This is why you will never find the global warming deniers at an anti-war rally. Victor Finberg, Burnaby

Pipeline dangers Dear Editor:

These pipeline companies, Kinder Morgan and Enbridge, are certainly determined to expand their way to the Pacific Coast. These pipeline companies feel they have the right to blast their way through all properties regardless of zone bylaws and other community regulations and laws that protect such lands.

I have not heard of any country or company demanding Alberta’s tar sand crude oil. Even the Burnaby Chevron oil refinery is operating nowhere near capacity. I don’t hear of oil shipping companies requesting more facilities. It is only the pipeline owners. I am advised that the pipeline companies charge nearly $10 a barrel and the railway companies charge around $30 a barrel. Then there are the brokers who make deals with the ship to guarantee a berth to load. The ships no longer belong to oil companies like Exxon or Standard Oil of California. The ships are

usually registered to some numbered shell company registered in the Marshall Islands, Panama, Liberia, etc. So if a ship has some mishap and causes pollution and other damages, who can we sue? Try to find the owner or owners among 20,000 other ships just in the Marshall Islands. We haven’t even started to examine or understand the subsidies, taxes and other fees costing us, such as demurrage. I urge the readers to read the book When Corporations Rule the World, by David Korten. Tony Fabian, Burnaby

‘Perfect storm’ ends with three arrests for fraud Cayley Dobie staff reporter

Two people are in custody after some quick work by Burnaby Mounties last week. Police received a call from a local hotel at 6:30 a.m. on Sept. 30. The hotel contacted Burnaby’s economic crime unit to report that a fraudulent credit card had been used to make a purchase at the facility, stated a press release from the Burnaby RCMP. Investigators determined a suspect had checked into the hotel using an allegedly stolen identification and credit card. Police contacted the owner of the credit card, a Florida resident, who confirmed she did not use the card in Burnaby, the release added. Shortly before 8 a.m., Mounties arrested a suspect in connection to the fraudulent credit card, and less than an hour later a second and third suspect were also arrested and taken into custody. “This was a perfect storm of circumstances where the police worked very closely with businesses to stop these people from committing further fraud. Our investigators didn’t hesitate and within a few hours these people were arrested,” said Insp. Bob Page, Burnaby RCMP’s investigative services officer, in the release.

Police have since confirmed fraudulent charges were made at two high-end Vancouver hotels and a hotel in Kelowna, along with the charges in Burnaby, using several allegedly stolen credit cards, the release noted. “It’s believed the suspect booked into the hotels using stolen B.C. driver’s licences and fraudulent credit cards, from multiple victims. (The suspect) is also alleged to have fraudulently rented four different vehicles. All four vehicles have since been recovered by police,” the release added. Several allegedly stolen credit cards, fake IDs, gift cards, rental agreements, a computer, storage devices and fake government cheques were found following a search of one of the hotel rooms rented using the fraudulent credit cards, the release stated. Burnaby RCMP arrested Raymond Warner, 28, Reid Van Delft, 29, and Sara Vasey, 26. They are all facing several charges related to fraud, including identity theft, fraud over $5,000, and possession of stolen property under $5,000. Warner and Van Delft will remain in custody until their next court appearance on Oct. 14 in Vancouver provincial court. Vasey, meanwhile, was released and will make her next court appearance on Oct. 30, also in Vancouver.

Stiffer penalties for Kinder Morgan: Election advertising? distracted drivers continued from page 3

Cayley Dobie staff reporter

Distracted drivers beware – using your electronic devices while behind the wheel will soon result in more than just a $167 fine. Come Oct. 20, drivers caught using cellphones or other hand-held devices while driving will earn three demerits on top of the fine. Prior to the announcement, which was made by B.C. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton this week, drivers caught using electronic devices on the road received only the $167 fine. Demerit points can be billed to drivers even if they don’t own or insure a vehicle, and can remain on a person’s driving record for five years, possibly resulting in further penalties such as driving prohibitions. The cost of the demerits range from $175 for four points to $24,000 for 50 or more points, according to ICBC. Between April and October of this year, Burnaby RCMP have issued 1,606 tickets for distracted driving, or about 267 each month since April. – With files from the Vancouver Sun

hard-working governments in Canada and in our communities,” he said. Hartney also stressed the importance of voting, bringing up Burnaby’s 23 per cent voter turnout from the last municipal election. “That’s a sign of poor government. This is your money, this is your city, this is your vote.” Many of the coalition members come from different political backgrounds, but Power acknowledged that while they may disagree on certain issues, they will work together for the residents of Burnaby. “I’m the 11th of 12 children, so when I get together with a group, I expect a difference of opinion,” he said. “Anybody who has grown up in that environment understands it’s not just ‘yes’ or ‘no’ all the time, there has to be different views and you have to accommodate, you have to listen.” Daren noted the BFC will announce its platform shortly, and citizens have two more town hall meetings to express their concerns to Burnaby First. The meetings are scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 22 and Thursday, Oct. 30. “We thought the most important thing is to have a good platform for the citizens of Burnaby, and obviously to offer you democratic choice,” he said. “There’s been one party for over a decade, and that isn’t good for democracy in our province and in our country.” Follow Jacob Zinn on Twitter, @JacobZinn

Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson is making his opposition to the pipeline part of his re-election campaign. According to preliminary results from the NOW’s own survey, the pipeline expansion is the number 1 issue for local readers.

Ali Hounsell, spokesperson for the Trans Mountain expansion, told the NOW the company is putting out information targeted at a number of communities along the pipe-

Surplus success: From high-end fashion and $10,000 watches to children’s toys and used mattresses – Austin Davies has seen it all come through Surplus Sam’s in South Burnaby. Davies took over the family-run liquidation store from his dad, and he loves how something different arrives at his warehouse every day.

Business is like ‘Christmas every day’ It’s all in the family for the operators of Surplus Sam’s

hen William Davies announced he was opening a liquidation store 12 years ago, his family took the news quite well. By that time, the entrepreneurial father of nine had tried his hand at a laundry list of businesses, and he had a pretty good track record. ON MY BEAT “He’s had an Jacob Zinn irrigation company, a leather goods store, a snow removal and salting company, a sporting goods store, a pet store – he’s had dozens and dozens of businesses,” said Austin Davies, the third eldest child in the family. Austin, perhaps more than any of his

siblings, took the news with excitement as his dad bought a warehouse and packed it to the rafters with furniture, toys, clothing, electronics and knick-knacks at discount prices. That warehouse, a staple of South Burnaby, is better known as Surplus Sam’s. “I have a brother named Sam – it was just a catchy name, really, but he ended up not wanting to be part of the business,” said Austin with a chuckle. “But the name stuck.” Nearly every member of the Davies family has worked at the store, selling used and almost new products acquired from wholesalers, insurance deals, bankruptcies and closeouts. But Austin is the only constant family member, with eight years and counting under his belt at the store. “I was the only one who actually had any interest in sticking with the company,” he said. “I started working here, and shortly after got married. Then it was like, ‘I’ve got to provide for my wife,’ and we already had a kid. Then we had our sec-

ond kid and I was like, ‘I need something to sink my teeth into, and this is here.’ “I guess it was just, ‘I need something to provide for my family now and I like this business.’ And pretty much right away, my dad and I started talking about me taking over in some capacity.” Austin ran a secondary surplus store on Victoria Drive in Vancouver for a while, but the condition of the building paired with the downturn of the economy prompted them to close operations there. But that only made their flagship location stronger. “All the customers we had met over there kind of merged into one store and made this store much more profitable all of a sudden,” said Austin. Austin now carries on the family business, having purchased Surplus Sam’s about a year ago from his dad, who is retiring. It may not have been the right business for Austin’s siblings, but he loves working in liquidation. “This is probably the funnest business – it’s like Christmas every day,” he said.

“It’s just totally a fun store.” “One of our major suppliers just sends us pallets full of stuff and we don’t even know what’s in there until we open it up.” Granted, Austin admits they sometimes received broken items or products with missing parts, but the staff do their best to either refurbish the items or mark them down tremendously. He said most of the items are in fairly new condition, as though someone opened the box, changed their mind and made a return. Over his eight years at Surplus Sam’s, Austin has seen all kinds of items come through the doors, from designer clothes to expensive watches to a Swarovski crystal iceberg “that probably weighed about 20 pounds.” But what was the worst item? “Someone had bought a computer at a retailer and stripped all the great parts out of it and put all their old parts in from their old computer and returned it,” he said. “We were stuck with it.” Surplus Page 12

Surplus: Family business continued from page 11

While there are many liquidators throughout the Lower Mainland, Austin said their biggest competition is stores that can offer warranties. But he noted that his customers – who come from cities all around – are always looking for a good deal, and they end up back at his store. “We have a real loyal following – we have people who have shopped here for years and spent tens of thousands of dollars,” he said. “I know easily over 100 customers by name, and some of them have become good friends. “Some of my staff have developed these deep relationships with people, even connecting outside of the store. I’ve never been to another store where I’ve seen that.” It’s those strong relationships with customers that set Austin’s store apart from other liquidators, and that – more than the low prices – is what keeps them coming back, he says. “Some customers bring us baked goods – it’s crazy,” he said. “There’s a much more community feel than any other store.” Surplus Sam’s is located in South Burnaby at 7435 Lowland Dr. Follow Jacob Zinn on Twitter, @JacobZinn

Job fair helps those with disabilities Jennifer Moreau staff reporter

Do you have a disability? Are you looking for work? The Neil Squire Society is hosting a job fair exclusively for people with disabilities, and dozens of companies are participating. The fair is open to people with any kind of disability, intellectual, developmental and physical. “We are very excited. We’ve had an overwhelming amount of interest, people phoning and emailing and asking questions,” said Alexi Thomas, the society’s communications manager. “The main idea is to help more and more people get employed, but

the other part of the job fair is educating more employers, and we want to educate them about the positive business case for hiring people with disabilities.” According to Thomas, companies that hire people with disabilities send a message to the public that they embrace an inclusive workforce and community. Featured employers include the Burnaby NOW, the cities of Vancouver, Burnaby and Surrey, Aroga Technologies, the Burnaby Board of Trade, UBC, Shaw Communications, Fairmont Hotel Vancouver, the Bank of Montreal and many more. The event is on

Thursday, Oct. 23, from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the Firefighters Banquet & Conference Centre, at 6515 Bonsor St. The society is also offering help with resumés on Tuesday Oct. 14 and 15 at the Neil Squire Society office (unit 240, 2250 Boundary Rd.) from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Help will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis. People can bring

their resumés, preferably on a memory stick. The job fair is the first one the Neil Squire Society has hosted, but the society wants to make it an annual event. At press time, 200 people had registered and more are expected to attend. For more information, go to neilsquire.ca. Follow Jennifer Moreau on Twitter, @JenniferMoreau

in the Koerner Recital Hall at the Vancouver Academy of Music. The acclaimed ensemble includes Burnaby native Joseph Elworthy – the St. Thomas More Collegiate alumnus who’s now the executive director of the Vancouver Academy of Music. Elworthy plays cello alongside violinists Nicholas Wright and Jason Ho and violist Emilie Grimes. They’ll be joined by another Burnaby talent, violist Marcus Takizawa, who will round out the instrumentation for Johannes Brahms’ String Quintet No. 2 in G Major. Takizawa was an original member of the quartet and played with the ensemble for its first two seasons, but left this year. “It is a treat to bring Marcus back for this concert to perform in the Brahms – it will be an exquisite ‘passing of the torch’ moment to have these two talented violists work alongside one another to execute this spectacular quintet,” Elworthy said in a press release. The program also includes Franz Joseph Haydn’s String Quartet No. 5 and Ludwig van

Beethoven’s String Quartet Op. 18 No. 4. The Koerner Recital Hall at VAM is at 1270 Chestnut St. in Vancouver. Tickets are $18, or $15 for students and seniors. See www.koernerquartet.com for details.

Indulge creativity

Anyone with small kids at home knows how much they love getting hands-on with just about everything. So why not put that natural curiosity to use and start making some art? The City of Burnaby offers a host of art classes for the preschool set, and as the mother of a twoyear-old, I have to appreciate the awesome variety of offerings. Just browsing through the Shadbolt Centre’s fall Arts Guide, I came across plenty of offerings for the small folks among us. Many of the courses have already started for fall, but some are getting started this month. A few highlights: ! Mixed Media, Baby!: This adult-participation class at Willingdon Community Centre offers sessions for two-year-olds and for three-year-olds, both on Wednesday mornings starting Oct. 15.

! Pencils, Paints and Plasticine: Four- and fiveyear-old artists can get hands-on in this course, also at Willingdon, running six sessions starting Saturday, Oct. 18. ! Baby’s First Dance and Toddler’s First Dance: Willingdon Community Centre plays host to both these courses on Tuesdays, with eight sessions for babies (two to 12 months) and toddlers (12 to 30 months) starting Tuesday, Oct. 14. (Incidentally, I did the Baby’s First Dance class with my own tot back when she was but a wee thing. We liked it so much we took two sessions. I also wrote more about it – plus some other local offerings for toddlers – in a special report on Babies and the Arts a year ago. If you’re interested, check out the story online at tinyurl.com/ BabysFirstDance.) There are also plenty of offerings at the Shadbolt Centre and other city facilities for older kids, teens and adults – check out the Arts Guide by downloading it from www.shadbolt centre.com or pick it up at city facilities. jmaclellan@ burnabynow.com

2015 Hyundai Sonata: Delivers premium style Brendan McAleer contributing writer

ou know who makes a decent cup of coffee? McDonald’s. I know, I know, not a patch on that artisanal, handroasted, high-falutin’ stuff, but as a decent cup of joe, McDonald’s has really stepped up their game of late. You can even get espresso-style drinks at the golden arches, which brings me around to the car we’ve got here in front of us. It’s early on a weekday morning, I’ve got a small coffee in my hand, and I’m looking at Hyundai’s well-priced, economical-to-run family sedan. The two are not dissimilar. This Limited trim model comes with all sorts of stuff you’d expect to find only in a higher echelon of automobile. Adaptive cruise control? Heated rear seats? A nine-

speaker, 400-watt stereo? Geez, that’s a lot of stuff. And yet, it’s a Hyundai, a brand that’s based on value. I take a swig of coffee, plonk the cup in the Sonata’s (huge) cupholders, hit the push-button starter, and slot the transmission into drive. McDonald’s knows a thing or two about pleasing the masses. Let’s see if Hyundai does too.

Design:

The previous Sonata was quite the looker, and by that I of course mean that it was styled six ways from Sunday. There were all kinds of sharp creases and flowing surfaces going on, but the key feature was a large, open, Audi-style grille up front. The hybrid model in particular looked a bit like a wheeled basking shark. This new car is much more reserved, although it Sonata Page 20

2015 Hyundai Sonata: Unlike its predecessor, which was styled “six ways from Sunday,” the new Sonata

Sonata: Well-priced family sedan delivers like a decent cup of joe continued from page 17

has a few interesting touches like that strip of chrome that runs right out along the hood to the headlights. The multispoke wheels are attractive enough, and seem to have been borrowed from the Genesis lineup. You still get a sharply creased styling line, a double-swoosh of LED lighting up front, and a strip of chrome down either flank, but the Sonata plays a far more cohesive tune than before. It’s perhaps a little less exciting, but everything seems to flow together a little more evenly. Practice makes perfect.

Environment:

Inside, it’s much the same story. The interior seems simplified, bringing the controls together into a thin row of buttons with the air-conditioning controls below and a touchscreen above. There are quite a lot of buttons, and they do interesting things: one changes the car between sport, normal, and eco modes, and another activates a heated steering wheel. Neat! But despite all the geewhizz gizmos, Hyundai managed to put together an interior that’s uncluttered. If we’re bringing it back to the coffee analogy again, there’s an evenness to the flavour, without too many highs and low. The epithet for this is to call it bland, but the Sonata’s straight-forward simplicity works. I’m less of a fan of the seats themselves, which are very firm, front and rear. There is, however, plenty of space to be found, with rear legroom slightly up year-over-year. A huge panoramic sunroof contributes to the feeling of airiness. The trunk is the size of B.C. Place. With wood trimmings and little bolstering to the seats, you immediately know that this isn’t the sporty one (you might need the turbo model to scratch that particular itch). Perhaps then a better test would be to hit the Trans-Canada at 8:30 a.m. Hello gridlock.

Performance:

Fewer horsies under the hood mean that the Sonata now gallops a little more leisurely down an onramp.

The 2.5L four-cylinder engine makes 185 hp at 6000 rpm, five fewer than last year’s model. Torque has been increased at the lower end of the rev range, and now sits at a peak of 178lb/ft at 4000rpm. The turbocharged 2.0L kicks things up to 245hp and 260lb/ft. However, in the volume-selling normally-aspirated model, performance is punchy enough in normal and sport modes. Leave it in eco, and the six-speed automatic and soft pedal response aren’t much fun. Mind you, we’re wading up to our door handles in crossovers at the present, so a brief discussion of how the Sonata handles that particular challenge. The suspension is very smooth, as is the shifting of the transmission. The direct-injection engine is really quite noisy when cold – the high-pressure injectors in most cars like this always sound like a sticky valve – but smooths out when up to operating temperature. Once traffic gets moving, wind-noise is almost completely absent. Steering errs on the side of ease-of-effort over feel, but placing the car in sport mode actually firms things up to a pleasing degree. There’s also some surprisingly good lateral grip, meaning that a zip up the Sea-to-Sky would be a scoot rather than a wallow. Just like its interior and exterior appearances, the Sonata’s drive is polished – polished to the point that there’s not a lot of excitement to be found. It has to be said that the adaptive cruise control is not as refined as other marquees either. However, as a smooth and easy to drive car with an impressive suite of safety features and a stereo that doesn’t distort a note even when cranked right to the pegs, the Sonata does its job well. Call it a smooth blend.

Features:

Limited trim on the Sonata includes a host of items that is literally too long to fit on a single computer screen. Of particular note are the aforementioned heated seats at all four corners, rear air vents, 8” touchscreen navigation, and nicely tucked away USB

connections. Parents will also appreciate the rear sunshades. The navigation is easy to use and very high in resolution. Touchscreen functions work well too, for the various menus, and the voice commands worked just fine as well.

Fuel economy is rated under the new 2015 fivecycle method at 9.8L/100 km in the city and 6.7L/100 km on the highway. Real world fuel consumption split the difference at 8.9L/100 km, not far off the stated mixed-

mileage figure.

hen both of your parents are chefs, you’re pretty much destined to become

different restaurants,” said Pears. “Me and my sister, we were going wherever their jobs took them, so we were always changing schools. They would work in White Rock, downtown, on the Island, but always in B.C.” Pears got his start as a dishwasher, working for his dad at an Italian restaurant, but at the time, he wasn’t that interested in the

restaurant industry. “When I was a teenager, it wasn’t what I wanted to do,” he said. “I started doing dishes and minor prep work just through high school.” He may not have cared much for the restaurant industry at first, but it didn’t take long for him to find his passion for cooking.

EBO: Chef Pears puts modern twist on classic culinary dishes continued from page 25

He got out of the dishpit and went to culinary school at 19 before returning and becoming a line cook at his parents’ restaurants. “The art of it really is what stood out to me,” said Pears, who considers the presentation of a dish to be just as important as the preparation. “It’s also instant satisfaction, being able to create a meal for someone and making them feel like they’re really taken care of.” So, after years of working with his mom and dad, what drew Pears to EBO? “I needed to separate myself from my parents – I was working for them up until this job at Delta Burnaby,” he said. “I just figured it was time for me to venture off and try something new. “I’ve never worked in a hotel, this is my first hotel.” Pears joined EBO about six months after the hotel’s 2008 renovations and became an integral part of the kitchen staff, according to director of sales and marketing Sebastien

Theriault. “He’s been in the business so many years now,” said Theriault, who has been with the hotel for two-and-a-half years, “and he gets a lot of inspiration from different types of food.” Pears’ flair for putting a modern twist on classic dishes was a perfect fit for EBO’s casual fine dining atmosphere. “The perception of fine dining is (an emphasis on) presentation, really small portions and expensive,” said Theriault. “We’re still there with the presentation, but the quantity is more and it’s also affordable.” The menu at the 150seat EBO offers everything from homemade pasta to exquisite charcuterie boards to slow-cooked, braised meats and stews – a testament to Pears’ broad cooking knowledge. “People always ask me, ‘What’s your signature dish?’ And I always tell them, ‘I don’t have one,’” said Pears. “That would be putting myself into one thing. “I like all foods, so it’s so hard for me to narrow

it down to one. I like to be well-rounded and versatile with all ethnicities of food.” His ability to cook every type of cuisine on earth paid off: A few months ago, Pears was selected for the position of head chef at EBO, after acclaimed chef Daniel Craig was promoted to executive chef at the new Delta Toronto Hotel. “It was important for (Craig) to work with our general manager to find the next head chef, and Keith has a lot of the attributes that correspond to our previous chef, but a different style,” said Theriault. “It feels great,” added Pears. “I feel like it suits me. It’s what I’ve been wanting for a long time. But I’m pretty humble – I’m not like, ‘OK, I got the position now, it’s time for me to take over the world.’” “My job’s to fill this room. I just want to make sure we have a consistent products, that my team is happy and that my guests are happy.” EBO is located at 4331 Dominion St. jzinn@burnabynow.com

Help Lester with his passion to become a commercial pilot Lester Wong’s story is one of strength, determination and the importance of having a goal. In 2009, he suffered devastating burns to 33% of his body as the result of a car accident. After months in the hospital, he finished his BCIT studies as an aircraft engineer, got his private pilot’s licence and was awarded the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Award. His sister has started a crowdfunding campaign to fund his next goal: becoming a commercial pilot. Help his dream take flight at FundAid.ca. Firefighters are also raising money for the Burn Fund, which helped Lester and his family after his accident. You can donate to their campaigns on FundAid.ca
