Mountain is deceptive Fireﬁghters prepare for worst-case scenarios By Cayley Dobie

Firefighters spent a morning dangling off the side of Burnaby Mountain as part of the department’s recent technical rescue training. The training exercise is part of an annual program that helps familiarize new and less experienced firefighters on some of the terrain they could encounter while on duty in Burnaby. “The north side of the mountain is quite a hazard. There’s lots of steep dropoffs, and some of them are in the region of 200 to 300 feet,” Lt. Jeff Lyle told the NOW. While there hasn’t been a major incident on the mountain in recent years, Lyle said people occasionally hop the fenced perimeter not realizing how dangerous the area is. “It looks like bush and it looks like it’s not sloped, but there are actually sheer drops,” he said. “There are signs up there, but unfortunately people do stray over the fence.”

Survey says: Parents love libraries DPAC polls parents on pending cuts in city schools By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Burnaby parents responded in droves to an online budget survey this month, and cuts to school libraries were their biggest concern. The school board is exploring more than $3.5 million in cuts, including the equivalent of more than 30 jobs, to cover a projected net deﬁcit of more than $2.4 million next year. In an online survey, the district parent advisory council (DPAC) asked local parents to say which of the proposed cuts they opposed and which they supported. The poll garnered 1,627 responses, com-

pared to 586 when DPAC surveyed parents on the budget last year “Parents are concerned about the state of the education budget,” DPAC chair Jen Mezei said about the increased response. “When you do small cuts every year, it starts to take a toll, and I think parents are aware of what’s going on, and so I think they wanted an opportunity to have input.” By far the biggest concern, Mezei said, was a proposed plan to cut the equivalent of nearly three elementary teacher-librarian jobs. “Parents were really against that cut,” she said. Parents also felt strongly about proposed cuts to high school lab assistants (2.5

‘Magical’ view of Burnaby Nature walks reveal the wild side of the city’s urban green spaces By Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

There’s a certain magical chorus at dawn, when songbirds sing their loudest, straining their tiny throats, to assert territory and attract mates. There’s a chance to catch that chorus at an upcoming nature event with local bird expert George Clulow. “It’s quite marvelous to hear some many bird singing simultaneously,” said Clulow. “It’s somewhat magical.” Clulow is leading a nature walk on Saturday, May 9, from 6 to 9 a.m. He will impart knowledge on identifying various bird species through their songs on the two-kilometre walk. It’s just one of many events the City of Burnaby is hosting for local residents through until June. “Part of what we’re trying to achieve is to get our residents into our parks and green spaces and appreciate what an amazing environment they are,” said Melinda Yong, an environmental technician with the City of Burnaby. “We are home to native and non-native plants, invasive plants, migratory birds, en-

dangered species, wild cats – so our green spaces are really a jewel of the environment.” On Sunday, April 26, Pamela Zevit, a local biologist, will introduce participants to the host of endangered wildlife, including the Western painted turtle, around Deer Lake on a walk from 9 to 11 a.m. The walk is two-kilometres. (Use barcode 357783.) Clulow is leading another bird-watching walk on Tuesday, April 28, from 8 a.m. to noon on Burna-

by Mountain. This event focuses on the songbirds, including colourful warblers on their way north to breed. The four-kilometre walk includes scenic views. (Cite barcode 358442) Remember the Great Snakehead Hunt of 2012, when an invasive ﬁsh with a voracious appetite was found idling in one of Central Park’s ponds? That snakehead will be part of the narrative on the May 31 walk through Central Park with Zevit. The event, from 9 to 11 a.m., focus-

es on the common invasive species and rare wildlife in a major city park. Zevit is also leading the last event of the summer on June 28, from 9 to 11 a.m. at Stoney Creek Park, a hotbed of biological diversity. (Use barcode 358445.) All of the events are $5.

Police are investigating after a 36-year-old man was stabbed at Metropolis at Metrotown Tuesday evening. Burnaby RCMP were called to the mall on Kingsway around 6:25 p.m. after firefighters and paramedics responded to reports of a stabbing near the Kingsway entrance, Burnaby Staff Sgt. Maj. John Buis told the NOW. “They had been attending with emergency health services, and there was a victim of either a stabbing or a gunshot at Metropolis,” Buis said. When officers arrived, they confirmed the vic-

tim had been stabbed once in his upper left leg and had “lost a large amount of blood but was conscious,” Buis said. “It was very traumatic for the people in the area,” he added. An initial investigation has determined the victim was stabbed by two suspects, both described as Caucasian. No other description is available at this time, Buis said. Investigators are now speaking with witnesses and reviewing surveillance footage to see if they can get a better description of the suspect. The victim, who was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital, is expected to recover.

Developments off to hearings Townhomes, daycare, church lands, all up for public input A proposal for 27 townhouses in the Rayside neighbourhood is one of ﬁve rezoning applications going to public hearing next week. The three-storey townhouse project is planned for 5037, 5057 and 5067 Claude Ave. The initial plan included changes to Wilton Avenue, which would allow it to better connect with Claude Avenue, but has since been changed to avoid impacting a nearby creek, according to the report on the application. A streamside protection and enhancement area would be established on site as part of the development, and the development’s setback from the top of the stream bank would be 20 rather than 25 metres. An acoustical report will be necessary for the site because of trafﬁc noise from the nearby Trans-Canada Highway, according to the report. The applicant is Jordan Kutev Architect Inc. The site is near another Rayside townhouse development which worried some nearby residents re-

cently. The 10 wooded lots at Canada Way and Claude Avenue were razed last month for a 161-unit townhouse development. The rezoning for that project went through public hearing last December. The other applications going to public hearing are for the consolidation of the St. Timothy’s Anglican Church property on Kitchener Street; a daycare for 152 children on Lougheed Highway near Brentwood Town Centre; a B.C. Liquor Store in the UniverCity neighbourhood near SFU; and extended hours for the B.C. Liquor Store in Kensington Square Mall. The public hearing takes place in council chambers at city hall on Tuesday, April 28 at 7 p.m. For those who cannot attend, written submissions must be received at the city clerk’s ofﬁce by 4:45 p.m. on the day of the public hearing. Burnaby council does not accept submissions regarding rezoning applications after public hearings. - By Janaya Fuller-Evans

Newsnow MPs criticizes ‘reckless’ move in federal budget Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

The federal Conservatives have managed to pull the country out of deficit for the first time in their nine-year run in Ottawa, but Burnaby’s two New Democrat MPs are voicing criticisms over how they did it. Finance Minister Joe Oliver presented the 2015 budget on Tuesday, and there is a projected surplus of $1.4 billion – a big improvement over the $55.6-billion deficit in 2009, during the global financial crisis. However, Kennedy Stewart, the New Democrat MP for Burnaby Douglas, has problems with how the Tories did it, mainly by using $2 billion from a contingency fund and selling off the government’s shares in General Motors. “They hit their target, but I think what they did was a bit reckless,” he told the NOW. “It’s a very hardcore, right-wing budget. It’s pretty staggering actually. At the core of it, pretty big tax breaks for very wealthy people. … What was also

Opinion now OUR VIEW

What do taxpayers need to know? What do taxpayers have the right to know, or need to know, when top brass in city positions are shown the door? In the last Burnaby NOW we published a story about the former Burnaby school district superintendent’s golden handshake. Kevin Kaardal, the school district’s CEO for two years, stepped down suddenly at the end of January. But he will collect salary and beneﬁts until January 2017. The grand total that

Kaardal will receive by that point in time will be close to $430,000. Yes, close to a half a million dollars. The school district will not give details as to why Kaardal was let go saying only that it was a “mutual agreement”. The ﬁnancial information we published was obtained through a Freedom of Information request. There may be some irony that during a time when the school district is taking the couch cushions out look-

ing for spare change to keep teachers and school employees on the job that it pays out a whale of a settlement to Kaardal. And taxpayers will not be told why or how this parting of the ways between the city’s political education leaders and its top staff person actually occurred. One can assume, at least, that the school district was the one who wanted the change, given the settlement. And one can assume

Yes, close to a half a million dollars ... that the settlement included a conﬁdentiality agreement on Kaardal’s part, as they almost all do. But aside from that, all we, and taxpayers, can do is speculate that the elected political leaders were

not pleased with Kaardal in some form or manner. To be sure, top employees in jobs such as Kaardal’s are in unique positions. They are expected to manage multimillion-dollar operations with huge liability issues, and they must also tip toe through a myriad of partisan and political mineﬁelds. They must balance between being “good soldiers” but also manage to speak truth to power when it has to be done. And they

need to have honed some very good diplomatic skills. They are public servants, but they obey political masters. It can be a migraineinducing job. One misstep and the next thing you know, your political bosses are having closed door meetings about you, instead of with you. But then there are those golden handshakes – perhaps they offer some solace to the recipient – if not the taxpayers who foot the bill.

MY VIEW PAUL KERSHAW AND ANDREA LONG

Don’t overlook real villains The No side in B.C.’s transit plebiscite keeps telling us there are plenty of villains. The primary villain is the regional transit authority, TransLink, with endlessly repeated stories of wasted funds and overpaid executives. Government has become a villain too, for its supposedly poor management of our tax dollars. Developers are villians, wanting billions for new SkyTrain lines. Newcomers are also villains. Some think more transit (and more taxes) wouldn’t be needed if the extra million people the Yes side keeps talking about didn’t move into our region in the ﬁrst place. Villains are necessary in stories because they help us know who to root against. By focusing on alleged wastrels, cheats and freeloaders, the No campaign distracts attention from the real villains: air pollution, climate change and housing prices that push people far away from work and school. With weeks left in which to cast a ballot, there is still time for both the No and the Yes sides to consider a new story. Voting against transit expansion is also voting against younger Canadians who live in the region, our kids, or the kids and grandchildren we one day want to have. Younger citizens who need more of us to move around by transit rather than by car to help preserve clean air to breathe now and

for decades. Younger citizens on whom the risks and costs of climate change will disproportionately fall. It’s not the fault of younger Canadians that they inherit a country in which post-secondary education costs more, while jobs pay less. Where housing prices have skyrocketed, while the cost of child care is a second mortgage. Where they are saddled with larger government and environmental debts. Younger Canadians are doing their best to adapt to these realities. Taking transit is a part of this adaptation. Voting against investing more in transit leaves younger Canadians to adapt alone. Downplaying the needs of younger citizens has become a pattern in Canadian politics. The provincial government’s decision to hold this transit plebiscite is itself part of the trend. In the current plebiscite, the villains are getting all the attention. But there are also heroes-in-waiting who can cast a vote to support kids and grandchildren adapt to the environmental, economic, and time squeeze they face. The villains may have the spotlight. Happily, there is still time for heroes to exercise their power.

Naked chase in Burnaby Burnaby RCMP arrested a naked man who led them on a high speed chase in July. The incident started around 7:30 p.m. when Mounties were called to an argument in a vehicle in the 6600 block of Telford Avenue. When they arrived, the car sped off, and officers followed in hot pursuit. The Mounties were ready to call off the chase after the vehicle hopped a sidewalk to evade capture, but then the car came to a sudden stop. The naked driver and a fully clothed female passenger were taken into custody.

MLAs are meant to represent the voters

Comfort women debate keeps on going

Dear Editor I read with interest the article in the recent Burnaby NOW (Campaign more about Clark than Lee, Our View, April 17) regarding the MLA Richard Lee recall campaign. I met Mr. Lee a while ago, and he seemed a nice man. However, it takes more than being nice to be a representative (MLA) for the people of North Burnaby in the government of B.C. and that need, is to stand up for his constituents. The excuse that he cannot disagree with his party’s point of view should not have any bearing with his job as MLA. MLAs should not be “just good soldiers” as the article states to their leaders, they should loyal to their constituents and represent their concerns. Political parties should not be dictating to their representatives by not allowing them to stand up for their constituents’ concerns. We are supposed to have democracy in this country, not this kind of garbage, just because the majority of voters in Burnaby did not vote for the Liberals, they want to thumb their noses at those voters. I guess all the parties do it, but it has to be stopped. They need to honour their promises to the voters no matter what, or at least make every attempt to comply. This cronyism needs to be addressed; otherwise our democracy is a big farce. If the voters in North Burnaby wish to recall Mr. Lee, they should do so if he is not helping his constituents, because that is exactly what he was elected to do. Cody Tabois, Burnaby

Is huge city surplus really a good thing? Dear Editor Re: Burnaby’s surprise $100-million surplus. Put in the simplest terms, that amounts to almost a quarter of the year’s operating cost for the city, or just under half of a year’s property tax revenue. Or put another way, the city planned for a surplus half that size and ended up with one three times the size of surplus they planned. Whichever way you slice it, that’s a lot of money out of my pocket and yours. So they put it away for a rainy day – how prudent! Surprises of that magnitude are all very nice when they are positive like this, but in my view, it looks like really bad management. Are they really that ignorant about their revenues and expenses? And what next: are they working on a fully planned economy, so we won’t have the problem of figuring out how to spend any of our hard-earned funds? Perhaps our city fathers have kept their heads in the sand (at the municipal golf courses, where the golfing is free), and have not noticed the historic success of other planned economies – the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea being a current example. We certainly seem to be headed down a parallel path – with a two-tier society just like the comrades. Welcome to the People’s Republic of Burnaby!

Bibenesque So, why not change it to a symbol of shared tragedy, why not make a memorial in recognition of the ‘comfort’ women atrocity, and a second memorial for the shameful internment of the Japanese Community during the war. Both ethnic groups and all Canadians would be able to visit the park a have a poignant reminder of both stains on history. TheLostVancouverite 100% agreement there; if you are going to recognize the wrongs, recognize ALL the wrongs, not just one specific group. Markus Roland While the whole “comfort woman” issue is real and the Imperial Japanese Army should definitely and profusely apologize, I fail to see how these statues are anything more than a needle in Japan’s eye by people who simply want to put a needle in Japan’s eye. @kvl_yvr Germany has no problem with Holocaust commemorations. Japan & its people are still in denial. That’s the difference.

So, wanna swap mayors with Surrey? jaydee I know Ms. Hepner Surrey mayor is raising taxes through the roof here in Surrey and is in bed with Harper and the corporations and Watts got us into so much debt it can never be repaid and Hepner is doing more of the same as her twin did. Corrigan takes a stand for the people of Burnaby as the two twits that have run Surrey do as Harper tells them what to do and that is to continue raising taxes and Herr Harper is continuing to get Canada into more debt that can never be repaid. Herr Harper also loves oil pig corporates which Corrigan took a stand against. Surrey mayors did not do that. Sooooo....send him any time the sooner the better and the trade-off will be you in Burnaby get Ms Hepner/ Watts and Herr Harper. Ziggy Eckardt You may want to check your facts, jaydee. One of the reasons why I like the Conservatives is because under “Herr” Harper you now have the lowest federal taxes in 50 years. As of yesterday, Canada under Stephen Harper is the only country in the G7 with a balanced budget. Do you honestly believe the Prime Minister (ANY Prime Minister!) has spare time to also run Surrey? Corporations are not allowed to contribute anything over $19.99 to Federal parties as you should know. We can’t tell whether it’s Harper’s or Obama’s doing, However, for the first time ever another country, Canada, has overtaken the dominance of the American middle class. Are you inferring Corrigan spoke up for Burnaby citizens during the last municipal elections? Do I have some sobering facts for you! ... Your trade-off? It’s a deal!

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

B.C. Institute of Technology vocational instructors are poised for a strike, but union ofﬁcials are optimistic it won’t come to that. The B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union announced last week that BCGEU trades and computer science instructors had voted 90 per cent in favour of a strike if a fair settlement couldn’t be reached with the institute.

The instructors’ collective agreement expired more than a year ago, and issues still on the bargaining table include salaries, health and welfare beneﬁts, contact hours and intellectual property rights, according to a union press release. Negotiations have not yet affected classes or services at the technical institute, and even if a strike became necessary, BCGEU staff representative Frank Greenlay told the NOW it would be “a ways off.”

The union and employer have agreed to mediation, with talks scheduled for May 12 and 13. “There won’t be any activity prior to that,” Greenlay said. He added he was optimistic about the instructors and employer reaching a deal with the help of veteran B.C. Labour Relations Board mediator Grant McArthur. “He’s been at the board for a while,” Greenlay said.

Newsnow Burnaby RCMP canvass neighbourhood for clues Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

Police ofﬁcers and auxiliary constables were out knocking on doors near Moscrop Street and Smith Avenue this week in hopes of ﬁnding information about a murder and an assault that took place in the area last week. Monday afternoon, Burnaby RCMP issued a warning to residents after a woman was assaulted while walking home around 1:40 a.m. on April 18, two days after a man’s body was found lying in the eastbound lane of Moscrop Street near

Smith Avenue. Shortly after 5 p.m. on Tuesday, 10 auxiliary officers and 10 Burnaby RCMP officers took to the streets to speak with residents in an attempt to locate witnesses who may have been in the area or heard something at the time of either the assault or homicide, Staff Sgt. Maj. John Buis, spokesperson for the Burnaby RCMP, said. While Buis is still waiting to hear from the officers if the canvassing event garnered any clues in the murder of the 33-year-old Burnaby man on April 16 or the assault on April 18, he did

say ofﬁcers spoke with quite a few residents who hadn’t heard about either incident or the police warning. Police haven’t said yet whether the two incidents are connected but felt the public needed to be warned because the incidents took place in the same area, around the same time and both victims were travelling on foot, Buis said. A dedicated tip line has been set up by Burnaby RCMP. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Burnaby RCMP at 604294-7922 and tell the receptionist you’re calling about the above incidents.

Allergies

are a modern epidemic

By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD.

What people experience: !I tried numerous other remedies all my life that were not effective. Since I discovered Bell Allergy Relief, I do not have a stuffy nose and itchy eyes when pollen season comes around. I don’t have to walk around like a doped zombie anymore. Leonard Waldner, 44, Delia, AB ! For twenty years my life was miserable with sneezing, watery eyes and sinus pressure yearround on most days. I was amazed. On the third day, all of my allergies were gone. It was like magic. Becky Gerber, 25, Dover, OH !Golfing without allergy attacks, I tried all the medications and none worked. After taking one capsule in the morning, I’m completely free of all symptoms. Richard Gamez, 74, San Antonio, TX. #24 NPN 80043542

Festival needs volunteers The Heights Merchants Association is asking residents to man the barricades on Saturday, June 6. The annual Hats Off Day celebration needs many volunteers, including people 19 and older who can take on barricade duty. Barricade volunteers generally work in pairs of four and for half-hour shifts, and volunteers can work with a friend or family member, according to a press release from the association. “It takes so many kinds of people to put on Hats Off Day,” Isabel Kolic, executive director of the associa-

Deer Lake Gallery explores photography Three unique photographic perspectives are the centrepiece of a new exhibition at the Burnaby Arts Council’s Deer Lake Gallery. Photographic Convergences opens May 9 and will run at the gallery until May 30. The exhibition features the work of three photographers: Kelly Selden, Adam Gibbs and Chris MacKenzie. Each of the three takes a unique approach to photographic art. A press release notes that Selden’s formal abstract

photographs explore the colour, texture and patterns of degraded urban surfaces. “Texture is prominent

Texture is prominent in Selden’s work.

in Selden’s work, be it textile, print media or photography,” the release says. “In this series of work, Selden explores the effects of a new

archival process that infuses dyes directly into specially coated aluminium plates, giving the photograph a luminescent sheen.” MacKenzie, meanwhile, works in “landscape interventions.” He carefully alters a site through a composition of rocks, branches, ﬂowers, berries and leaves, then photographs his created landscape. Gibbs, too, is inspired by the outdoors - but, in his case, via hikes into remote locations, where the New Westminster resident sets up his photography equip-

ment and attempts to capture the landscape and light of his surroundings. “The practice and creativity of photography often drives Gibbs to explore new places and put his lens to the test of capturing the grandeur of what it is he sees,” the release notes. An opening reception for the new exhibition is set for Saturday, May 9 from 2 to 4 p.m. The Deer Lake Gallery is at 6584 Deer Lake Ave., open Tuesday to Saturday, noon to 4 p.m. See www. burnabyartscouncil.org. – Julie MacLellan

A journey with Alzheimer’s Author Cathie Borrie had no idea what life would bring her after her mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. The journey that she and her mother took is chronicled in her memoir, The Long Hello: Memory, My Mother and Me. Borrie will be on hand to read from the memoir in a special presentation at the McGill branch of Burnaby Public Library on Thursday, May 7 at 7 p.m.

Borrie began the writing after beginning to care for her mother, Jo, while her mother was living with Alzheimer’s disease. “After many wrong turns in trying to bring back the person her mother used to be, Cathie realized that her role was to follow, not lead,” a press release explains. “Delighted by the things Jo would say, Cathie taped their conversations, and their wondrously poetic dialogue became the ba-

Songstress: Patricia Cano brings her jazz-influenced world music to the stage at the Shadbolt Centre April 30. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

World music sounds on Shadbolt stage Jazz, folk, blues and world music all combine in the songs of Patricia Cano. The singer and her trio of musicians are coming to the stage at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts on Thursday, April 30. She’ll be delving into the repertoire of her debut album, This is the New World, which is made up mostly of original works alongside a few traditional pieces – in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese. “Inﬂuences by South American folk forms such as Afro-Peruvian rhythms and samba, Patricia’s music is driven by the groove of jazz,

and the soul of folk and blues,” a press release says. “On stage with her amazing trio of musicians, the energy that inhabits her is powerful to behold, and the breath, colour and textures of her voice change with every emotion expressed through her words and music.” For more information about Cano, check out her website at www.patricia cano.com.

the writing is so brilliant. 7. One artist who inspires me is Rembrandt because his portraits say everything that needs to be said about the human condition. 8. My idea of a perfect day is to wake up late, have a leisurely breakfast, go for a walk, maybe visit an art museum and stop for coffee afterward (see question 9). 9. My favourite edible (or potable) treat is a really good, dark espresso macchiato and a delicious grainy

Ellen Schwartz Occupation AUTHOR

Getting to know her in her own words Our Fill in the Blanks series introduces Burnaby NOW readers to a variety of interesting folks in the arts and entertainment community. Each subject fills out a short questionnaire, “filling in the blanks” to let us know about themselves. Meet this week’s featured artist, Ellen Schwartz. 1. I am a wannabe dancer. Dancing is my ﬁrst love. If I could be a professional dancer, I would give up writing in a heartbeat. 2. I spend my time daydreaming about stories and coming back reluctantly to the “real” world.

3. Right now I am working on two books for children: a historical novel called The Princess Dolls, set in B.C. during World War II; and a contemporary novel called Up in the Sky, about a girl whose father has died in a helicopter crash. 4. The book on my bedside table right now is The Girl Who Saved the King of Sweden by Jonas Jonasson. 5. Three songs you’ll ﬁnd on my iPod playlist are – I don’t have an iPod. I still listen to CDs, mostly the blues. 6. One work of art that inspires me is Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell because the structure is so ingenious and

muffin. 10. My guilty pleasure is reading mysteries. I know they’re formulaic, but they’re so satisfying. 11. My favourite vacation spot is Hawaii. I’ve only been there once, but from the first breath of flower-scented air, I felt relaxed down to my bones.

12. My favourite thing about Burnaby is the parks, especially Deer Lake Park, which is near my house. I walk there every day, and within moments I am surrounded by trees, breathing fresh air and not thinking about work. It’s an urban oasis. 13. If I could sit down for coffee with anyone at all, I would choose Rudolph Nureyev, the greatest ballet dancer of my lifetime. 14. If I could live anywhere at any point in time, I would choose my time. To have been born a baby boomer was one of the most fortunate pieces of timing ever. 15. If I could have a superpower, my superpower would be to feel what other people are feeling. And ﬁnally ... 16. If people want to ﬁnd out more about me, they can visit my website, www.ellenschwartz.net. Send Fill in the Blanks ideas to Julie MacLellan, jmaclellan @burnabynow.com.

here are a host of things seniors could be doing to better manage their money, and Burnaby Community Services is putting on a workshop to teach them how. The event is on Wednesday, May 6, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. at 2055 Rosser Ave. “It’s part of a new series of education seminars that we will be hosting once a month, helping people develop skills and the capacity to manage their affairs,” said Stephen D’Souza, executive director of Burnaby Community Services. “Our target audience for this speciﬁc event is seniors. We do work with low-income families and seniors, just given the high need among se-

niors whether they be widowers or they are finding challenges around budgeting and banking, or there’s been a change in their financial situation. … We’re trying to make it easier to learn the skills they need.” Participants in the upcoming workshop will learn how to make the most of their money, D’Souza said. Burnaby Community Services is a non-profit organization that runs a variety of programs, including the annual Christmas Bureau and free tax clinics for seniors or people with moderate incomes. In fact, the idea to host the budgeting and banking workshop was inspired by tax clinics. “We’re actually responding to the communi-

ty’s needs,” D’Souza said. “We’re identifying areas where people could be doing more with their money. They could be putting them into RRSP, into RIFs, TFSAs. They’re maybe spending more in some areas than they need to be, and they could be getting tax credits for them. … Using bus passes instead of bus tickets, that’s a tax credit, there’s lots of programs they could be using they are not aware of.” Vancity’s Brentwood branch is delivering the seminar, and Burnaby Community Service is hosting. Admission is free, and there will be light refreshments. The workshop is roughly half full, so register early to avoid disappointment.

Tips on adding a touch of blue to your garden Anne Marrison GREEN SCENE

editorial@burnabynow.com

For many gardeners, true blue is one of the most treasured colours in flowers, but it can be a fickle one to acquire unless you actually buy the plant in bloom in a garden centre. There are other pitfalls too: many “blues” contain a hint of purple but are often described as blue perhaps because it mirrors catalogue and online descriptions. Also photos of “blue” flowers are not necessarily accurate. Nor are names. English bluebells, for instance, are among those that are almost blue but not quite. For an easy way of gaining lakes of blue, you can to turn to spring bulbs. Scilla sibirica is a deep, true blue, dwarf long-flowering bulb that spreads fast under trees where grass is thin. It’s inexpensive, and virtually all garden centres routinely offer it in fall. Chionodoxa forbesii is blue and white (but comes in other colours, too), but its cousin Chionodoxa sardinensis is a deep, startling blue and a very dwarf eager spreader with large globeshaped seedheads so convenient to plant in other places too. However, it’s not widely offered. Rural gardeners who want a spring carpet of gentle sky-blue still turn sometimes to forget-me-nots. Once the blue deluge is over, they wait for the heads

to set seed, then yard the old plants out, secure in knowing forget-me-nots will reappear again next year.. That’s the good news. The bad news is that successive generations develop smaller flowers and get weedier because they gradually revert to the wild form. When summer comes, one of the easiest-going blue explosions comes from Anchusa azurea (Alkanet). It produces a metre-long flowering pyramid of intense blue that is said to bloom from June to September if you deadhead it. It’s ideal for gardeners with dry sandy/gravelly/ rocky soil where it will perennialize and reportedly be almost impossible to remove. Unfortunately, it hates soggy clay and tends to die over winter if you don’t give it good drainage. It’s easy from seed, which you may have to get online. Anchusa capensis is a cousin and the one where you can find seed in garden centres. It has paler but nice, blue flowers, is an annual and dwarfer 45 centimetres high. Better known for intensely blue flowers are some of the gentians. One standout is Gentiana acaulis, a very dwarf trumpet gentian available most springs in garden centres. It’s a temperamental one, and soil recipes abound, but generally a sun/ shade mix of gently acidic soil with humus and grit is at least a place to start. Gentians are a huge tribe

that come in a range of blues and a few which aren’t blue at all. Some beautiful blues may be found in seed-grown annuals. Much of the seed though is often sold in mixes of colours these days. Varieties include larkspur, lobelia, delphiniums and nigella. Anne Marrison is happy to answer garden questions. Send them to her via amarrison@ shaw.ca. Please add the name of your city or region.

PROFILE

Ella Sandoval-Carlsten

Occupation STUDENT/ATHLETE Why is she in the news? On April 21, a group of young female soccer players gathered at Fortius Sport & Health in Burnaby for Girl Talk: Women Inspiring Girls in Soccer and Life, an event organized and moderated by a 16-year-old soccer player who hoped the event would inspire other young athletes to chase their dreams. Ella Sandoval-Carlsten, who lives in West Vancouver, plays highperformance soccer for the Burnaby-based u16 Mountain United FC team. Girl Talk is the manifestation of a project she worked on during a leadership camp last summer. The hour-and-a-half evening event included special guest speakers Candace Chapman, Karina Leblanc, Janine Beckie and Sophie Schmidt from the Canadian women’s national soccer team, and former U.S. Olympian and World Cup U.S. National Women’s team player Julie Foudy, now a soccer analyst and reporter for ESPN, who appeared via video webcast. During the event, Sandoval-Carlsten led a discussion between the

Tell me about yourself. I’ve played soccer ever since I was three. I used to dance as well, but I had to choose between dance and soccer, so I chose soccer. I play every day. I play on my high school team, I play with (Mountain United FC) and I also play in a White Caps academy team on the weekend. I try and hang out with my friends when I can. I basically just play soccer and go to school. How did you get started in soccer?

athletes and girls, focusing on topics she felt were important to aspiring soccer stars like herself. She also opened the forum up to the girls in the audience and encouraged them to ask their own questions. “It went great! We raised about $2,000 and had 70 people attend,” she wrote in an email to the NOW following the event. “It was an amazing night.” With the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup just around the corner, Sandoval-Carlsten hoped the event would raise awareness for women’s soccer and the “unique challenges and successes facing girls and women.” The money raised at the event will be donated to two charities, Soccer Without Borders and Canada SCORES, a relatively new non-profit in Burnaby that runs afterschool programs that combine poetry and soccer for at-risk and vulnerable youth at Edmonds, Taylor Park Elementary, Stride Avenue Community School and Twelfth Avenue Elementary. The NOW spoke with SandovalCarlsten before the event. – Cayley Dobie

I was really young and I think my parents just, because my friends were doing it, put me in. I started playing, and I played indoor when I was really little, when I was three, and I basically went through all the levels – I was in house, then select and now here. This is the highest league in the province. I also play on provincial (teams), so players from the (high performance) league will go to provincials and we play against other provinces in Canada. What’s your favourite thing about soccer? I like that it’s a team sport. Every team I’ve been on has been really great, especially the one I’m on

now. When I play I still love it even though I have to play every day. It’s still fun every time I have to go out. What else? I love what it can do for people. I’ve volunteered a lot as a coach and it’s really great to get people active, and it’s so fun and it’s really internationally recognized. So when I travel I can play with people I don’t know. Tell me about Girl Talk. My dad went to his reunion and met this girl named Julie Foudy, who was the captain on the U.S. national team, and she told him about this camp that she runs in the summer that’s about soccer with a leadership component. So I went, and one of the parts of the camp is you have take on your own initiative. I started thinking, … especially with the World Cup coming up, I wanted to have awareness about women’s soccer and have women talk about their experience because a long time ago women didn’t get recognized for playing soc-

cer, and Julie was a huge part of getting the recognition for the sport.

It’s still fun every time I have to go out Now the World Cup is such a big thing for women, I just wanted people to be talking about that, especially to young girls who are looking up to the national team. What’s your plan for the event? (The female athletes) will talk about their experience playing collegiate soccer or being in the World Cup, things like that. And people will have a chance to ask questions, and we’ll auction off some signed jerseys. What will you be talking about at the event? When I was thinking about the topics for the speakers, it was what I would want to know, just aspiring to be like them –

playing in college and playing professionally, because they’ve obviously been successful, how did they get there? How did the athletes react when you asked them to participate in Girl Talk? They were really encouraging. Since I’m so young, they thought it was a really good I was trying to take it on. I deﬁnitely had to be really persistent because they’re so busy. I had to email multiple times to get responses, but everyone was as supportive as possible, trying to help out as much as they could. What are you hoping people take away from the event? I’m hoping that people will be, on some level, inspired by what they have to say and be able to ask questions about what they’re wondering about. This is a good opportunity to talk to people who are so successful in soccer. A lot of people who are coming are from my club,

and this is a high-level club, so they’re aiming to be as good as the people who are speaking, so I want them to be able to ask the questions they want and be inspired by what they have to say. What are your expectations for the event? I know it’ll be a really great thing because at ﬁrst it was really hard to get speakers but … I just realized I’ve already raised a lot of money just by doing this so it’s all positive. Where do you see yourself in a few years? I’m deﬁnitely aiming to play soccer in college and I want to keep taking stuff on like this. The money I’m raising (for Soccer Without Borders), I’m actually going to bring to Nicaragua as well as equipment I’ve collected. I’m helping in a camp with young kids and training them to play soccer. They have a really cool program for how the kids can earn the equipment.

Just Play!

It’s been a tough season for Burnaby Central’s senior girls’ soccer team, and it didn’t get any easier when they faced off against the second-place New Westminster Hyacks at home on Tuesday. Despite a strong start for Central, whose Reesa Wright scored the game’s ﬁrst goal at the 10-minute mark, it wasn’t enough to keep the Hyacks

at bay. The visitors came back in full force, scoring their ﬁrst goal at the 31-minute mark to tie the game. After the half, Central hammered the Hyacks’ back line in hopes of sneaking one past the goalie, but it was no use. The Hyacks managed to get two more shots into Central’s net before the end of

the game, making the final score 3-1 for the visitors. Central finished the season in last place with five losses. The girls will get a second chance to turn things around next week, when playoffs start. Central will take on third-place Burnaby South at home on April 30. Kick off is at 3:30 p.m. – Cayley Dobie

Who helps the helpers? It is estimated that up to 30 per cent of first responders â&#x20AC;&#x201D; firefighters, police and paramedics â&#x20AC;&#x201D; suffer from PTSD and yet few resources are available to help them. The real tragedy is there is a cure. The #ptsdfireride is raising money for an innovative online therapy program through Vancouver Coastal Health. You can donate or start your own campaign at ptsdfireride.ca.

ADMIRAL PUB & GRILL The Admiral Pub & Grill is well known for its friendliness, ambience, staff and cozy atmosphere, but customers also keep coming back for its fresh and delicious cuisine. Whether it’s the daily specials – Mondays you can enjoy a tasty traditional turkey dinner with all the trimmings for only $7; all day Tuesdays is $7 Fish ‘n Chips; Wednesdays popular roast beef dinners with all the dressings at $6 or Thursdays half price pasta lovers’ dinners – everyone leaves happy and satisfied.
