Pipeline back to the drawing board?

Newly elected Liberal says federal government will redo the National Energy Board process Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

The National Energy Board’s review of the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion will likely go back to the drawing board following the Liberals’ majority win on Monday.

Terry Beech, the newly elected Liberal in Burnaby North-Seymour, told the NOW there will be no decision on the proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion in January.

“We are going to redo the National Energy Board process.We’re going to broaden the scope.We’re going to make sure it’s objective, fair and based on science.We’re going to make sure proponents of any ma-

Burnaby residents could soon have a shorter wait to find out if they have certain kinds of cancer.

Burnaby Hospital is getting ready to add a second dedicated endoscopy suite to its arsenal, thanks partly to a $600,000 donation from the Burnaby Hospital Foundation last month.

Endoscopy is a medical examination in which an instrument called an endoscope is passed into a part of the body (intestine, stomach) to investigate symptoms and take small tissue samples (biopsies) to check for things like pre-cancerous polyps and cancerous tumours.

Demand for the procedure has jumped, according to Burnaby Hospital general surgeon and endoscopist Mark Dickeson, especially with the advent of Continued on page 9

Global reporter kept out Team asked to leave Kennedy Stewart’s office on election night Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

A video from the office of newly re-elected MP Kennedy Stewart is making the rounds on social media, drawing ire from reporters and communications folk alike.

The video, shot by Global B.C., shows two people working on Stewart’s campaign on election night asking reporter Catherine Urquhart and her cameraman to leave Stewart’s office.

“I’m sorry to have to say Kennedy Stewart is not doing interviews tonight,” a man explains to Urquhart and her cameraman. “Everything is busy right now.

We’re still getting results in. He’s with his peers, you know, his volunteers, kind of a subset of a family. It’s almost like Thanksgiving dinner in a way.”

“It’s election night, it’s not Thanksgiving,” Urquhart replies, laughing.

Urquhart and her cameraman were left outside. Meanwhile, Burnaby NOW reporters Jeremy Deutsch and Cornelia Naylor were still inside and allowed to stay because they were from local media.

The whole incident caught Urquhart off guard.

Out: This man at Kennedy Stewart’s office asked Global B.C. reporter Catherine Urquhart and her cameraman to leave on election night.

PHOTO SCREENSHOT FROM GLOBAL B.C. FOOTAGE

“We were surprised, for sure. As you know, it’s common practice for reporter to check in with candidates,” she said.

“We were just checking in.We were going around to a bunch of different offices as results were coming in, speaking to candidates,” she added. “We saw it as an opportunity for him to say whatever he wanted to say to his constituents.”

The race in Stewart’s Burnaby South riding was close, and Elections Canada’s numbers showed Liberal Adam Pankratz ahead when Global was kicked out.

Stewart explained to

the NOW he did not want Global there because he thought they were looking for footage to go with a national story about the NDP’s decline.

“They’re just in there for mischief.They want to film NDPers loosing,” he said.

“I don’t think it was someone trying to do a story.

They had a story and they were looking for footage.”

Urquhart said that was not the case.

“I don’t know where that came from,” she said.

“Honestly I think the video speaks for itself on what we were doing and how we were treated.”

Stewart had his party at

campaign headquarters.

“It was very tense in there.The count hadn’t been finished,” he said. “(Global) didn’t interview me once throughout the whole 78 days of the campaign,” he said. “To just show up at the end and expect to walk in at a private event essentially, no other campaign would allow that.”

Stewart said he made Global wait outside his office in the 2011 election, as well, and Global didn’t have a problem waiting for results to come in then.

“Perhaps it’s a misunderstanding but, believe me, it’s exactly what I did in 2011,” Stewart said.

Once the footage was online, Urquhart Tweeted “kicked out!” with a link to the video.

Mike Klassen, a columnist who works in strategic communications, replied, “Bizarre – never seen campaign office toss out media like this.”

News 1130 reporter and anchor Dave White called it “ridiculous,” while Global’s Chris Gailus Tweeted, “Here’s something we never expected on election night, and it has nothing to do with Liberals sweeping to victory.”

Residents perturbed by rash of car break-ins Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

There’s almost nothing more inconvenient than waking up to find your car has been broken into and vandalized.

Unfortunately for a group of South Burnaby residents, that’s what they found Monday morning.

Monica Adame is a resident on Hersham Avenue, where she said 10 vehicles were damaged sometime on Oct. 19, and the resident has grown tired of the crime on her street.

Adame said she’s lived on the street for five years, but in the last couple years the situation has gotten worse.

She’s had her car broken into twice in the last couple of years, including once while the vehicle was in her carport.

“Everybody on this street will tell you they’ve been broken into at least once,” she told the NOW, adding in the most recent vandalism, her car was left untouched.

Adding to Adame’s frustrations, she claims the police are doing little to help catch the perpetrator or prevent the crimes in the first place.

“They (Burnaby RCMP) did absolutely nothing about it.That makes me so angry,” she said. “There is a complete lack of interest.”

It definitely doesn’t go unnoticed.

The Burnaby resident said she doesn’t expect police to patrol every street at all times, but she believes some RCMP presence overnight would help the situation.

In the most recent rash on Hersham, the windows of the cars were smashed, but it doesn’t appear that anything was taken.

Regardless, Adame said

she and her neighbours don’t want the issue to be dismissed lightly.

In response, RCMP Cpl. Daniela Panesar noted there are often meetings in the detachment to review statistics to determine which areas are being hit by crime.

Though she couldn’t speak about the specific incidents on Hersham, she said the detachment will direct extra patrols where certain areas are being hit hard by crime.

Panesar also noted in some situations, the force will formulate a team to see what offenders will be active in the area.

“It definitely doesn’t go unnoticed, especially if there’s a rash of them (break-ins) in a specific area,” she said.

The RCMP are also offering a general reminder to residents not to leave any valuables in your vehicle or to keep them out of sight.

Since 1992, Pamela Gardner has been driven to provide excellence in orthotic and bracing. Her clinic, Burnaby Orthopaedic & Mastectomy, features the very best products and latest procedures available.

Pamela, along with her certified team of six, assess and manufacture foot orthotics, as well as measure and fit custom made knee braces and other soft good appliances.

When it comes to women who have undergone a mastectomy, they measure and fit for breast prosthetics and bras, along with lymphedema compression sleeves for both upper and lower extremities.

In order to better serve its customers, staff speaks a variety of languages, including Punjabi, and Cantonese. This is an office dedicated to its clients’ welfare.

“The staff has chosen to work a flex week which allows us to be open greater hours (six days a week) to serve the clients’ needs,” adds Pamela Gardner.

In addition, the compassionate entrepreneur recently launched a new mobile website and social media sites.

“It is also my belief much more education has to be undertaken in the field of lymphedema so I have chosen to make that more of my business by bringing in more options for services and speaking both to healthcare professionals and clients,” she says.

After more than two decades in the industry, Pamela’s passion and deep commitment to her clients has never waned. She comes with a wealth of education: she graduated from Simon Fraser University (SFU), before heading to the United States to attend various institutions to earn her professional designation as a Certified Orthotist.

Pamela supports the community in a variety of ways. Most notably, she is a founding member of the Liberte Foundation, which awards scholarships to SFU students who believe in the philosophy of free enterprise and want to pursue a career in business.

It doesn’t stop there: Pamela belongs to the Burnaby Rotary Club, Burnaby Board of Trade, Kidsport Burnaby Chapter, as well as St. Michael’s Center, a complex care and hospice in Burnaby.

Her advice to aspiring young industrialists:“Surround yourself with good mentors, don’t be afraid to make mistakes, as that is where you do your most growth, take calculated risks as you can’t steal second with your foot on first.”

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Canada catches the world’s attention Oh, Canada, if only we’d known.

All these years, we’ve been nursing our national inferiority complex, constantly overshadowed by our larger, older, more outgoing sibling to the south.

In the way of smaller siblings everywhere, we’ve struggled to make the world see that we’re a fully fledged grown-up country, too.

For a while there, we seemed to be making some headway, carving out a rep-

utation for ourselves as one of the world’s most livable, forward-thinking and compassionate nations: small in population, vast in geography and vaster still in heart.

Then along came a government that, bit by bit, began to erode that reputation, and we trembled.Without our international image as quiet leaders on issues such as climate change and peacekeeping, what did we have left?Who could we be?

Would we never find a way

to make everyone take notice of us, way up here north of the 49th parallel?

Turned out it wasn’t that hard to get the world’s attention after all.

All we had to do was elect a new prime minister. Preferably one with shiny, flowing hair and a penchant for posing shirtless.

Yup. Justin Trudeau has burst onto the world scene with unprecedented fanfare, as headlines all over the world spell out their fasci-

nation with the 43-year-old prime minister designate.

“The votes are in and Canada has come out of its election with a super hot new leader,” proclaimed the Australian news site news. com.au. Or how about Mashable, trumpeting the ever-so-subtle message: “Canada’s hot new prime minister has the Internet sweating maple syrup.”

What’s that you say? Everybody’s talking about his looks and nobody’s talking

about what he stands for?

Well, duh. In this social media-driven world of ours, we really couldn’t have expected anything less.

But we’re choosing to take the stance that all attention is good attention.

Sure, maybe today Twitter only cares about the fact that our new PM bears a somewhat uncanny resemblance to Prince Eric of Disney’s Little Mermaid.

But the fact is,Trudeau has the world’s attention.

If only for a brief and shining moment, he’s managed to steal the spotlight away from Barack Obama and turn the world’s eyes to us – yes, quiet, unassuming little Canada, up here just minding our own business and secretly gloating that we just became the cool kid on the playground.

Now it’s up to Trudeau to use our new-found power for good.

Go for it, Mr.Trudeau.

We’re with you all the way.

MY VIEW TOM BERRIDGE

‘I will always be your friend’ I have a favourite Hollywood ending. It came in the movie Dances withWolves.

In the final scene,Wind in the Hair is sitting upon his pony atop a rocky crag with his spear held high overhead while he proclaims loudly to a departing Kevin Costner, “Can’t you see that I will always be your friend.”

I kind of feel like that in a way. I, too, didn’t get the chance to say my goodbyes to everyone in the way I would have wanted.

The good news in all of this is the Burnaby NOW and the Record are getting a super sportswriter in Dan Olson to take over.The former sports editor of the Tri-Cities NOW is an old colleague of mine and was the Record’s sport guy in the early 1990s. He is both passionate of community sports and, perhaps more importantly, his stories are people-centred. He will serve you well.

The bad news, I suppose, all falls on my shoulders. No more cold and rainy Friday night football at Mercer Stadium, one less evening watching high school sports alone in the stands, the long drive into Langley to witness basketball and track and field at its best over and weekends free from keeping up with lacrosse – all these staples will become things of the past as I settle in to a new routine.

But like the great Lou Gehrig, I too, feel like the luckiest guy on the face of the earth to have served the communities of Burnaby

and New Westminster for so long.

It all started with arguably the Burnaby Lakers’ finest hour – taking Coquitlam to a seventh game in the Western Lacrosse Association final of 1993. Along the way, the great Russ Heard vanquished the vaunted Salmonbellies with a goal playoff speed record in the semifinals.

Somewhere along the way, I also remember a ragtag group of Moscrop Panther basketball players making a brave playoff stand – akin to Davy Crockett at the Alamo – against provincial pretty boys Kitsilano at Burnaby Central.The Burnaby Buffaloes coming of age in a V&D premier rugby final against the UBC Old Boys at Brockton Oval.

The Burnaby Express, with Kyle Turris, championship run to the Canadian Jr. A Royal Bank Cup in 2006.

The stories never stopped coming.

I first wrote about queen of soccer Christine Sinclair when she was a preteen and kept my promise to her to never publish those first pictures of her as a chubby 12-year-old.

I have followed the sometimes star-crossed racing career of Michael Valiante with great interest since he was officially able to get his driver’s licence; Olympic gymnast Lise Leveille was another star I was lucky to have the opportunity to watch ascend; then-Simon Fraser University student Continued on page 10

An open letter to Lynne Quarmby

Story on Stewart ignites online fury

Dear Editor Dear Lynne, a few months ago I told you I would be very happy to have you as my member of Parliament.

I am sure you will be disappointed to learn that I did not vote for you. I agree with you that climate change is the most important issue, but it became apparent to me that there was no likelihood that you would be elected, and that a vote for you would be wasted and have no effect in Parliament.

The next best thing was to vote for proportional representation, that is to get an electoral system which gives us the Parliament we vote for. With this, my vote for a Green party candidate would give me voice in Parliament.

Yes, I voted strategically, with the hope that I will never again have to vote strategically.

You have my sympathies. I have spent a fair amount of my time in the last 10 years trying to persuade governments at all levels to give us, or at least allow us to use, fair voting systems, and to limit election campaign expenses to donations from voters, and to an amount that just about everyone can afford. In other words, to make the system one in which every voter has an equal opportunity to influence the outcome of an election. This has been like banging one’s head on a brick wall. It is like the “sublime madness” described by Chris Hedges in his recent book The Wages of Rebellion, but we are driven to keep trying.

David Huntley, Burnaby

Happy a new gallery could be a reality Dear Editor I understand there will be a public forum on Nov. 3 at the Shadbolt Centre to hear about and discuss the possibilities of a new art gallery for Burnaby, and I am pleased to know about this.

I am in support of a new gallery space in Burnaby that would house the many collected works it has, offer larger shows and provide an open, inviting Art embodies space that honours what and expresses people crelife and culture. ate, including the new building itself and future jobs.

I believe that viewing and being inspired by original works of celebrated artists, their predecessors and even amateur artists can offer great benefits and education that classes, books and even videos cannot fully provide.

A new space designated for all of these things and a good display space is not for a “special interest group,” but rather feeds the vitality of the community by showcasing and celebrating what we imagine, create, offer and communicate.

Art embodies and expresses life and culture playing a major role in maintaining a vibrant and healthy community. To me, having a place to showcase art well is as important as a park, library or sports and leisure facility, because art itself inspires.

A new art facility could involve various events for youth and schools and would greatly benefit the generations to come.

Jane Appleby, Burnaby

Catriona Campbell Huge supporter of Kennedy Stewart, but I did cringe when I saw this unfold online. It’s true that Global’s presence may have yielded nothing of worth, and there is a good chance they were looking for clips of despondent NDP faces had the result went another way. The moment I heard “sorry, no media!,” however, I had horrible flashbacks to Stephen Harper’s campaign - *really* not something you want to invoke. On election night, I do think there should be access.

As a Stewart supporter, I was anxiously refreshing the Elections Canada page every 30 seconds. For better or worse, in this internet/media-on-demand age, there is the presumption of access. When it doesn’t happen… well, flashbacks to Harper again *shudder* Unfortunate decision, but thankfully a happy ending Kennedy. I felt SO awkward for the message-bearer in the video. Poor guy.

Lil Cameron It is standard procedure on election day to not address the media until the final count is in - Kennedy did what most candidates did regardless of the party they belong to on election night. You wait for the results with your campaign staff and then you address the media. The “media” in this case behaved inappropriately and made a story where there wasn’t one and now the Burnaby Now is feeding the story by posting one of their own.

Heather Elizabeth Agreed! Seriously I thought more highly of the Now...not NOW!!

Heather Elizabeth Where was Burnaby NOW when Grace Seaar did not show up to all candidates debates?

Where was global? Why wasn’t there a story about this? This sickens me that the media feel the need to make this a “news” story. This is why the “NIQAB” became such an issue. Thanks Burnaby NOW for playing into poor and low standard journalism. You suck!

Sandra Bell And what exactly was the media going to ask Kennedy??? 1) How are you feeling about the results so far 2) do you think you will win 3) what if you don’t - or something along these stupid, inane lines of questioning.

Shame on you Burnaby Now for reporting this garbage. I am sick of reporters who think it it their god given right to have access to anyone or anything all the time. Guess what - most of your reporting is sub par anyway.

Fond words for departing colleague @RebelsAthletics @BurnabyNOW_ News @ThomasBerridge We here at Rebels Athletics would like to thank Mr. Berridge for his years of service! Best wishes sir!

Burnaby Hospital Foundation grant helps students and seniors

Pipeline in question Continued from page 1 project would see Burrard Inlet marine traffic grow from five to 34 ships a month.

The Kinder Morgan pipeline terminus ends in the Burnaby North-Seymour riding, which Beech won on Monday with a handy 3,500-vote lead on the NDP candidate.

National Energy Board spokesperson Craig Loewen said the Liberal majority doesn’t change anything for the pipeline at the moment because the process the board follows falls under a legislated mandate.

“That doesn’t change unless the legislation changes or we’re ordered to do things differently,” he explained.

“The reality is there were a lot of things said in the campaign. No one’s even been sworn in yet,” he added. “We just have to wait and see.”

Kennedy Stewart said he thinks the pipeline will go ahead under the Liberals’ watch.

“I think in the end, under

Prime Minister Trudeau, (the Liberals) will in one way or another approve the Kinder Morgan pipeline whether it’s through a direct cabinet decision or a new NEB process,” Stewart said.

“We are aware of the growing population of older adults, and we need to find solutions for problems like falls,” Robinovitch explains.

“So this grant, which is specifically targeted for student support, is bringing new students into our lab who are learning techniques and becoming motivated to pursue research on preventable falls in older adults.”

Burnaby Hospital Foundation established its Community Health and Wellness Grant Program to help improve lifestyle and quality of life for all citizens in the community— patients and non-patients alike.

“We are proud to be part of such promising SFU research,” says Cheryl Carline, President and CEO, Burnaby Hospital Foundation. “Healthy people make healthy cities and our donors make it all possible.”

Newsnow NEB hearings back on On the heels of the federal election, the National Energy Board has just announced a new schedule for final oral arguments for the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion.

Intervenors hoping to

make their final case will have to refile a notice of intent with the NEB by Nov. 5 for hearings set in Burnaby and Calgary, but general members of the public will not be allowed in.

Oral arguments from in-

tervenors will now take place sometime between Jan. 18 and 29 at the Delta Burnaby Hotel and Conference Centre.

For the full story, go to www.burnabynow.com.

TRICK OR TREAT AT

New endoscopy suite coming Continued from page 1 the provincial colon screening program, which now encourages everyone over the age of 50 to undergo – at minimum – a stool (or fecal immunochemical) test for colorectal cancer.

Abnormal results trigger a letter from the B.C. Cancer Agency advising the patient to go for a colonoscopy.

“It can be anxiety provoking,” Dickeson said.

Five years ago, endoscopy resources at the local hospital were sub-par, according to Dickeson, leading to longer wait times.

“We had access to a Lower Mainland endoscopy report that clearly showed we lagged behind everybody,” he said.

But Dickeson said he and a group of fellow surgeons presented a business case to Fraser Health outlining the shortcomings, and endoscopy at the hospital has since seen a steady increase in resources.

Endoscopy has gotten more funding, more specialized scoping equipment, expanded hours and use of a second “flex room” for three days a week, according to Dickeson.

The second dedicated endoscopy suite – in place of the “flex room” – should put the hospital on par with other Fraser Health facilities and reduce wait times, he said.

“I think we’ll be at least equivalent to the rest of Fra-

ser Health. I think the access has got us in line with the rest of the region for sure.”

Construction of the second room was supposed to start a couple months ago but was delayed because of “infrastructure problems,” according to Dickeson, who has been involved in the project planning for at least a year.

“Because it is an old building, every time you crack a ceiling tile you find things you weren’t expecting,” he said.

Fraser Health told the NOW the second endoscopy suite should be operational by mid-2016.

Sports editor says farewell to Burnaby

Continued from page 6 Daniel Igali also made good on an earlier boast to me that he would one day be an Olympic champion. He did it in 2000 in Sydney, Australia.Two-timeWorld Junior Hockey gold medallist Karl Alzner is yet another.

I have to leave now with the careers of two wonder women still largely unwritten – that of sprinter Raquel Tjernagel at the University of Texas and NewWestminster Secondary senior Nina Schultz in multi-sports.

But they are not alone, the individuals, the teams, the clubs and associations have never stopped producing. One of the most memorable, of course, is the 12time junior A champion Burnaby Lakers, who won five Minto Cups and fashioned three undefeated seasons. Others include, and this by no means is a definitive list: BWC, Burnaby Selects soccer, the men and women of the Burnaby Lake Rugby Club, the newly

forged Burnaby Girls Soccer Club, all things St.Thomas More Collegiate,Wildcat wrestling, Alpha boys’ soccer, Burnaby South basketball, Burnaby Karate Academy, Champs International Figure Skating Centre at 8Rinks and SFU – a champion in three separate American and Canadian associations.

In my journeys and many late nights, serving and reporting for you, I made many good friends and learned the true meaning of community and what is

good in giving of yourself to that end.That will never be forgotten.

But I have also been blessed in other ways. I have been so fortunate to have worked alongside of the best group of individuals in the business – from a caring publisher in Brad Alden to my mentor Pat Tracy, who knew just when and how to put me in my place, and never hesitated to do so. My editorial colleagues throughout the decades all seemed to mesh into one close and cohesive unit that enabled us to consistently put out the award-winning product we did. I love you and will miss you all.

I am left wondering if this is enough? I suppose it will have to do, seeing as though there is not a cliff in all of Burnaby and NewWestminster high enough from which my lamentations could be heard by all.

They’re in a league of their own Cornelia Naylor

The B.C. Swingers women’s softball team knocked off a few youthful up-andcomers to capture a silver medal at a tournament in Utah this month.

The team, with two players from Burnaby, was up against teams in the over70 majors division at the Huntsman World Senior Games in St. George, Utah.

Thing is, most of the Swingers are well over 75.

“Our team is going into the 75-plus next year and we were in the 70-plus this time,” Burnaby player Bobbi Wallace, 79, told the NOW, “so we played some teams that have just moved up from the 65-plus bracket.”

This is what’s keeping us healthy.

When push came to shove, though, the Swingers were up to the task.

“It was excellent.We worked very hard,” said Surrey resident Joan Dyer, the team’s founder and most experienced player at age 82. “We’re old in our age group, and we had to play a team that just moved up, and we beat them three times.”

Through seven games in three days, the Golden Gals from Florida was

the only top-bracket team the Swingers couldn’t take down.

“Nobody beat them,” Dyer said.

The B.C. Swingers are 11-year veterans of the Huntsman, with numerous gold medals to their credit.

For the last 11 years, the team – with players from the Lower Mainland, Nanaimo, Bowen Island, Kamloops and Winnipeg – has gotten together for about six two-hour practices at New Westminster’s Moody Park to prepare for the annual Huntsman.

“I thought we did quite well considering our team is kind of spread out and we don’t get to practise together as much,” said Wallace, who walked away from this year’s tournament final with a broken finger thanks to an errant groundball.

Over the years, the team has also travelled to tournaments in Arizona, Nevada, Tennessee and Georgia.

“The social aspect is so good plus the health.This is what’s keeping us healthy,” Dyer said.

The Swingers come from many walks of life – married, widowed, single; retired teachers, ex-accountants, former stay-at-home moms.

And, while many of them play on other slo-pitch teams when they’re not with the Swingers, their sports backgrounds are diverse too.

Wallace has played competitive ball since age 15

when she played on a senior A fastball team in Moose Jaw, Sask. in the ’50s, but she has also been to the mixed Canadian curling championships and perhaps

loves golf most of all.

Dyer remembers playing some softball in Grade 7 and not taking it up again until about age 33 in the Surrey Married Women’s

League in the late ’60s and early ’70s.

Swingers’ manager Vale Savege, who represented Canada at the Pan Am Games on the national

women’s basketball team in 1967 and the national women’s volleyball in 1969, came to organized softball in her 60s, after an Continued on page 12

Continued from page 11 invitation from B.C. Swingers player-coach Darlene Currie, a longtime former Burnaby resident who now calls New Westminster home.

A member of the Burnaby Sports Hall of Fame, Currie is a legend of Canadian women’s basketball, representing the nation at three Pan Ams before becoming the national team’s head coach from 1970 to

1972.

“I think you find, after 50, those people that have carried on and done some sport of some kind can easily pick up a new sport,” Currie told the NOW. Some of the Swingers play in co-ed slo-pitch leagues as well, but Currie said playing on an allwomen’s team gives them a chance to compete on a level playing field.

“The women like to com-

pete against each other,” she said.

A girls-only team is also a lot of fun on trips, according to Savege, who added to the fun herself this trip by slipping on a skeleton Halloween mask with long grey hair while the team was waiting together at the airport.

“We get together and you’re kind of all single again, if you know what I mean,” Savege said.

DENTURE WEARERS!

Burnaby child poverty rate one of the highest

COME IN AND RECEIVE A COMPLIMENTARY CONSULTATION AND DENTURE CARE PACKAGE FREE!

Tereza Verenca

editorial@burnabynow.com

A first-of-its-kind map shows no federal riding is immune from child poverty, including Burnaby’s, which ranked higher than both the provincial and national average.

The findings, released this month by a non-partisan coalition called Campaign 2000, used the most recent data available on the subject and mapped the child poverty rates according to 2013’s 308 riding boundaries. In Burnaby-New Westminster, the rate sits at 24.4 per cent (seventh highest out of B.C.'s 36 ridings), while in what used to be Burnaby-Douglas, it’s 19.8 per cent (18th highest).

Those are both above the provincial average of 20.4 per cent and the national average of 19 per cent.

“Almost one in four kids is poor in that riding,” said Adrienne Montani with First Call: B.C. Child and Youth Advocacy Coalition.

“That’s really high for a developed country.”

Montani went on to say the stats show just how much of a national issue it was in this election.

“There are solutions we’ve been putting forward where we feel the federal

government, in recent years, has really stepped back and needs to step back up,” she said of the previous Conservative government.

Some of those solutions include establishing a national housing strategy and providing better child care benefits (like parental leave, which is accessed federally through employment insurance).

“If you’ve had precarious work, and you’ve been on and off over the year, even though you’ve paid into it, you may not qualify. And then if you make a low wage, even if you qualify, you only get 55 per cent.

It used to be much higher,” Montani told the NOW. Given the higher-thannormal cost of living in the Lower Mainland, she said families living here simply can’t afford to take a full parental leave, causing them to go back to work early.

“If you make even $20 an hour, who can afford to live off of $10, or whatever 55 per cent is? That’s not really an option.”

Another change that needs to be made at the federal level, according to the coalitions, is to increase the Canada Child Tax Benefit to at least $5,600 per child.

“Some of the parties have talked about that a lit-

tle bit because that is good family policy. It’s just that it has gotten stuck at the lower level and it doesn’t lift enough families out of poverty, so we’d like to see more of a generous child tax benefit,” said Montani.

By not investing in a comprehensive child poverty reduction plan, she added, the country is losing billions annually, money spent on homelessness, health care, to name a few.

The child advocate couldn’t speak to what contributed to Burnaby’s statistics – like a family’s circumstance – but did suggest, overall, most poor kids in B.C. belong to parents who are in the labour force, not to parents on income assistance. Last year, less than a quarter of kids were on income assistance, she noted.

Out of the province's 36 2013 federal ridings, 20 had child poverty rates above 19 per cent. No. 1 was Nanaimo-Cowichan (28.2 per cent), followed by Surrey North (27.7 per cent), Richmond (27.6 per cent), Skeena-Bulkley Valley (27.6 per cent),Vancouver East (27 per cent) and Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon (25.5 per cent).

‘Drivers are still not getting the message’

SIXTEENTH ANNUAL BURNABY BUSINESS EXCELLENCE AWARDS

Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

“Staggering.”

That’s the word used by local Mounties to describe the amount of tickets handed out during a distracted driving campaign last month.

In September, Burnaby RCMP issued 924 tickets to motorists who were using an electronic device while they were driving.

“It’s very disappointing to see that drivers are still not getting the message about the dangers of distracted driving,” said RCMP Sgt. Gerard Sokolowski, in a statement regarding the latest numbers.

“We have to remember that this is about saving lives and making our roads safe to travel on.”

The efforts were part of a provincewide campaign with Cell Watch volunteers and ICBC in an attempt to educate drivers and improve

road safety.

Earlier this year, Burnaby Mounties handed out more than 800 distracted driving tickets during a similar campaign.The number of distracted drivers, or people getting dinged by police for being so, appears to continue to be on the rise. For instance, between April and October of last year, Burnaby RCMP issued 1,606 tickets for distracted driving.

In 2013, the department issued more than 3,375 dis-

tracted driving tickets, or about 281 each month.

Even though the most recent campaign is over, police warn distracted driving enforcement will continue throughout the year.

According to ICBC, on average 88 people in B.C. die every year in crashes where distracted driving is a contributing factor. Distracted driving is responsible for about a quarter of all crash fatalities in the province.

A SAFE AND HAPPY HALLOWEEN FOR PETS

OUR MISSION: To protect and enhance the quality of life for domestic, farm and wild animals in BC BENNY

BETTY

Animal ID 380904

Animal ID 377485

1 Year 1 Month 4 Week old, Female, Rex, Mixed Breed.

She is an energetic girl with a laid back personality but can be full of beans when she wants to be. She is shy at first but when you spend some one on one time with her, she’ll have you wrapped around her little paw.

Betty would do well in an environment where she has someone to keep him company but does not mind the quiet side of things. She loves to lounge around so an area big enough for her to be comfortable would be ideal. Once she is comfortable with you she will ask for some soft pats, sweet talk and most likely a sweet treat.

2 Year 6 Month 3 Week old, Neutered Male, Border Collie, Mixed Breed, Australian Shepherd.

Benny is a beautiful young boy who was surrendered to the shelter. We asked his previous owner “what would be his dream home?” and here’s what they had to say...an active, multi guardian home with some experience, a large fenced in backyard as he does enjoy time outdoors (does he is ever!). Benny isn’t a fan of being alone for long periods of time as he can feel anxious so an owner with a flexible schedule is a must. He definitely responds better to women than men(who can make him nervous)and is best in an adult only home. Benny is not compatible with cats. He does however like other dogs and could live with another friendly, confident dog. Benny can be reactive in certain situations, this behaviour will need continued work using positive training. Benny is a huge fan of TOYS, the squeakier the better...fetch anyone?! So you must love to play too. He loves playing in the tall grass and going for long hikes on peaceful trails.

ALVIN

GANUM

Animal ID 381765

9 Month 2 Week old, Spayed Female, Siberian Husky, Mixed Breed, German Shepherd.

Ganum is a TOTAL girls, girl! Stunning, long-legged beauty seeks experienced guardian! Ganum is a lovely lady who adores women, unfortunately she is very fearful of men and avoids them at all costs. She would do best in a female only home so she isn’t overwhelmed living with a man. She will need to build positive experiences with men slowly and over time using positive training.

With women Ganum is very sweet and affectionate and loves to cuddle. She still needs work on her leash manners but is a great student and responds well to her walker. She can be a bit excitable in certain situations and does jump up. Ganum is a typical young dog that needs plenty of activity and mental stimulation or she can be destructive by chewing. She may feel a bit anxious in her new home, her guardian will need to be willing to work on this behaviour. If you are looking for a lovely lady to fill your home with joy, come meet Ganum!

Animal ID 381364

7 Year 3 Week old, Neutered Male, Domestic Short Hair, Mixed Breed.

Alvin is a polydactyl sweetheart with a quirky face that just makes us swoon. This social boy arrived as a stray and was never claimed. He is ready to find that special human to love and adore. He is affectionate and cuddly but isn’t a huge fan of being held. He is best suited for older, cat savvy children. Alvin does not appear to like other cats. He is a chatty boy with a story to tell, ready to hear it? Come meet this handsome lad today!

4. Beware that strangers can be wary of unknown pets, no matter how friendly your pooch is!

5. If you are giving out candy to kids or will have many visitors, ensure your pet will not escape with the frequent opening of the front door.

Once safety for everyone is taken into account, all you have to decide is if your pet will be a superhero, a pirate, a princess or will simply skip the dressing up part on Halloween!

1. Pets can get anxiety from firecrackers (noise phobia) so skipping the fireworks or boarding your pet in a safe, quiet kennel for fireworks nights are ideas to consider.

3. If trick-or-treating with pets, putting a leash on them should help keep them safe.

I was hanging out at someone’s home and they brought me here. I got adopted but did not get along with the other cat. Sadly a few years later I was brought back into care again when my guardian was not able to care for me. Third time is a charm right? I am a ravishing gal who is looking for your love. I have lived in an apartment with a balcony. I was friendly, quiet and enjoy calm surroundings. I do not like loud noises and commotion. I do not like cats and have never been around dogs. My lovely coat will need regular brushing to keep me gorgeous. I use the scratching post. I would love to go to your quiet, indoor home and hang out with you!

Pet families know their pets the best and it is important to assess how involved your pet may like to be during Halloween and to what the families overall plans should be. Addressing the following should help you make this a happy Halloween for the whole family:

2. Taking your pet trick-or-treating may increase their chances of ingesting chocolate or candy, which can be toxic to them. Adult supervision for both your child and your pet is advised.

Burnwood Dr

Halloween is almost here! Costumes, parties and plans for the day are likely already in place; including costumes for our furry friends. It is becoming quite popular to dress up your dog or cat; in addition to the traditional partying and trick-or-treating on Halloween night. It is an enjoyable time and being socially inclined, some dogs (and some cats) are happy to be involved in the fun. New commercials on TV appear to encourage pets to go out trick-or-treating with kids!

Again, all fun and enjoyment with the right pet, but remember there are pets (and humans) that may not be lining up to be part of the dressing up or socialization of Halloween.

Local talent: Vicki Nosella, left, is her daughter’s biggest fan. Rebecca was diagnosed with Aicardi syndrome and cerebral palsy at six weeks old. Even though she can’t see or talk, the 24-year-old has been able to express herself through painting. The work of art pictured above is similar to one of Vincent van Gogh’s flower pots.

Local artist proves art knows no barriers Tereza Verenca

editorial@burnabynow.com

Rebecca Nosella’s paintings have many similarities to that of a Van Gogh or a Monet – unusual angles and lots of colour without the use of lines. In fact, they’re almost a near match.

A few differences are that Nosella doesn’t use a paintbrush, nor can she see her canvas. Her tools of choice include everyday objects like pot scrubbers, feather dusters, squeegees and cotton balls.

At six weeks old, the local artist was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and Aicardi syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that affects

one in 1.5 million girls and causes epilepsy, vision and speech impairment and low muscle tone.

“She’s 24 on the outside, but four-and-a-half on the inside,” mother Vicki told the NOW during an interview at their Burnaby home.

Nosella, whose work will be featured at the 11th annual INCLUSION Art Show & Sale in Vancouver this week, discovered her artistic side in Grade 7.

With a little help from her education assistant, Leah Drumm, her first painting was a Van Gogh flower pot, a piece that hangs in the dining room.

“My son went to Paris to the Van Gogh Museum,

saw the actual painting. So I said, ‘Jimmy, which one do you like better?’ He goes, ‘I kind of like Rebecca’s better because it’s not so stuffy.’

I did not expect it at all,” Vicki said.

The process by which Nosella does her craft is unique, just like her. First, she is given two to three colours of tempera paint to choose from.

“We give her time,” her mother says. “It’s like a constant detour in her brain.

If you’re going from your place to my place, you have the traffic along Barnet Highway to deal with.There may be a road closure, a detour.That’s what her brain Continued on page 20

City nixes skating and tobogganing Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

It’s about as Canadian as you can get in winter: skating or playing hockey on a frozen pond.

But the City of Burnaby is hoping to discourage the public from doing so.

The city’s parks and recreation department will be installing warning signs discouraging ice skating on Deer Lake, Burnaby Lake, Central Park ponds and Burnaby Mountain Golf Course ponds.

Dave Ellenwood, the city’s director of parks and recreation, explained that every year when the weather

gets cold enough, the local lakes will freeze briefly.

But he noted a couple inches of ice is not enough for activity like skating on the ice.

“People think they can skate on it, but it takes sustained freezing,” Ellenwood told the NOW, adding in the past people have needed to be rescued from the lake.

“It never does in our weather get cold enough to start skating activity on it.”

He added the city doesn’t monitor the lakes on a regular basis, so the warning signs are going up so people are aware of the danger.

The city will also be putting up signs at Burnaby

Mountain warning people against tobogganing at the popular park.

Ellenwood said the city knows people will take the risk but added the signs are up to protect the city from liability.

He also pointed out city staff won’t be monitoring the lakes or mountain for any rule breakers and won’t be handing out any fines to people not following the rules.

“We leave it up to people’s common sense,” Ellenwood said.

The warning signs will be going up by early November and come down in March.

‘Everybody deserves to show what they can do’

Continued from page 19 faces every day. It may take three seconds, it may take 10 minutes, or it may not happen at all.”

Nosella then transforms her blank canvas by using objects she can firmly grasp, like old yogurt containers.

“We call her our recycle girl, basically anything you can find in your recycle bin, anything that makes noise, so you can get the pounding and texture, the feel,”Vicki enthusiastically explained, adding the family has had to change the kitchen table at least twice so far.

Her methods involve squishing, banging, swirling and patting.

“Then there’s the cleanup,” she said with a laugh.

“You have to get it off the floor, sometimes off the dog, sometimes off Rebecca.”

The 24-year-old’s paintings come in small to large sizes. Her portfolio also includes painted jewelry boxes, gift bags and wedding invitations, which act both as an invite and as art once they’re framed.

Selling the pieces at art shows, though, was a random decision,Vicki told the NOW.When Nosella was around 19 years old, many people had expressed interest in her work.

“I hate to take money from people even if it’s going to Rebecca, but she said, ‘No, this is gorgeous,’”Vicki said of a buyer.

The bond between mother and daughter, meanwhile, is something Vicki can’t boast enough about.

“She’s my best friend.

She’s taught me everybody has a talent, everybody has a disability, you just can’t see it, and everybody deserves to show what they can do.

“If you are given a child with a disability, she’s your girl. She’s a teacher, without words or a diploma.”

The INCLUSION Art Show & Sale, which showcases the original work of more than 150 B.C. artists with disabilities, runs on Oct. 28 and 29 at Heritage Hall in Vancouver. Ninety per cent of the sales are returned to the artist.

today’sdrive 20 15 Chrysler 300C

Your journey starts here.

There’s more than a bit of Bentley going on here

BY BRENDAN McALEER

brendanmcaleer@gmail.com Tweet: @brendan_mcaleer

There was a time when you could still buy a proper American sedan – chrome, eight cylinders, pride. Not to mention a big, brassy presence and an unapologetic demeanour.

That time was about last Tuesday; and yesterday; and also today.

Witness the Chrysler 300C, the machine that quite frankly makes any Lincoln Continental reboot a semi-silly idea. We simply don’t need a big Linc’, not when Chrysler’s already got the whole big car thing covered.

The 300’s name is a throwback to the original Chrysler sedan, known as the letter series cars. They were powerful and luxurious, and the C on the back of this modern machine makes it a suitable carrier of the bloodline: it’s the most heavily-optioned version available.

The question becomes, just because the 300C is faithful to an older ideal, how does it do in our modern world. Fire up the Hemi V8, settle back into the leather seats, and check out a real American machine – which just happens to be built in Canada (don’t tell the Yanks).

Design:

Tweaked for the 2015 model year, the 300C now features a new front and rear section, along with a new grille that’s a third larger than previously. With the LED surrounds and the winged Chrysler badge, there’s more than a bit of Bentley going on here.

Add in 20” chrome alloy wheels, LED foglights, and a length that approaches yachting specifications, the 300C does really start looking like it’s trying to earn its Flying Spurs, so to speak. However, it’s not an imitation – the 300C has a character all its own here.

The side profile is big, but not too big, with a trunk that’s not overlong. The 300S version – the sport model – is a bit more aggressive, complete with spoiler; however, the 300C’s silhouette is a bit more reserved. It’s certainly not a shy car.

than half the time of the old five speed. Not only does this make the car far livelier in a straight line, but it helps keep revs down low when you’re just sailing on down the highway.

And that’s what this big ol’ girl does best. While perfectly capable of dusting off its heels at a stop light, the 300C is more a long-distance machine, fitted with plenty of passing power.

Environment:

Cavernous is the word that springs to mind, especially in the 300C’s rear seat. This is a proper big car, and would only need bench seating to be able to sit proudly on the dealership lot in the late 1960s.

Of course, things are far more modern up front. A huge 8.4” Uconnect touchscreen is the main control surface, and that includes the controls for the heated seats and steering wheel. Here, as elsewhere, Uconnect proves to be one of the easier systems to immediately jump right in and use. Voice commands pick up your instructions quickly and without making repeated errors.

Aside from the dominant central screen, the 300C hasn’t changed much with the redesign. There’s a new rotary-style gearshift controller, operating much like a Jaguar XJ, a two-tone steering wheel, and neat features like heated and cooled cupholders.

It’s nice enough, with quilted-look doorcards, but is starting to get surpassed by high-option trims of the refreshed Charger.

Performance:

Under the 300C’s long hood is the main event, a 5.7L V8 making 363hp at 5200rpm and 394lb-ft of torque at 4200rpm. Yeah, it’s got a Hemi in it.

Thing is, I’m not sure you really need it. The V8 is stoutly powerful and provides wonderful roll-on acceleration (and the soundtrack’s pretty great too). However, most buyers would be perfectly well served by the standard V6, which is also thriftier at the pump.

Having said that, the 300C doesn’t penalize you much for wanting a proper V8 cruiser.

The transmission is now an eight-speed unit that shifts in less

Road noise is not quite as serene as could be hoped for, and we’ll lay the blame on the 245mm-series all-seasons. A touring tire might cut down the road noise a bit.

Additionally, that eight-speed transmission operates smoothly when warm, but will occasionally jar a bit off the line when it’s cold out.

The steering provides more feedback than you’d expect from a machine from the old school, but it’s not really happy threading through the twisties.

Spec a 300S for that work.

Instead, simply hum along the trans-Canada or US interstate, headed for sunshine and maybe a deckchair by the beach. It’s that kind of a car, relaxed and relaxing, but with power reserves aplenty to get past that tractor-trailer blocking the view.

Features:

While fully-loaded, the 300C can be fitted with several enhancements, and this week’s tester had a few extras. Aside from the Hemi, it also had optional HID headlights, harman/kardon premium audio, and a safety equipment package that includes blind spot monitoring and front and rear parking assist. The total just cracked the $50K mark, making the 300C a lot of sedan for a significant amount of money.

Official fuel economy figures for the optional V8 are 9.3L/100kms on the highway for manual-equipped cars, and 14.8L/100kms in the city. That’s actually not bad, all things considered, and the 300C will hit its highway mileage without straining hard. It’s also a relatively huge fuel tank, so it has the legs to go the distance.

Green Light:

Great presence; comfortable, spacious interior; stout V8 power; solid infotainment

Stop Sign:

No all-wheel-drive available with V8; interior is getting dated; some road noise

The Checkered Flag:

Old school manners, but still street smart.

More details have been released on proposed changes to the transit service around Metro Vancouver, including Burnaby.

TransLink is proposing a number of changes to the

We know this will be impactful to people service in Burnaby and is looking for feedback from the public over the next couple of weeks.

One of the biggest changes is the proposal of a BLine bus for Hastings Street from SFU to Downtown Vancouver.

TransLink spokesperson Jennifer Morland noted the new B-Line service, if ap-

proved, would cut down travel time and increase the reliability, noting the average wait would be 7.5 minutes.

She explained a lot of changes to the system are in response to new roads or infrastructure, noting for example, SFU now has twoway road service while the Metrotown station is in the middle of upgrades to SkyTrain and bus loop.

However, she was quick to point out the transit authority has not made any decisions and is looking for feedback from customers before any changes are approved.

“We’re doing this as an opportunity to listen to our customers,” Morland told the NOW. “We know this will be impactful to people, and we want to make sure that we’re involving the public in planning throughout the region.”

TransLink is gathering

Changes coming: Burnaby residents have until Nov. 6 to comment on changes to bus service proposed by TransLink. PHOTO NOW FILES

feedback from an online survey until Nov. 6.

While Morland noted some people will see changes to routes, she added there are no cuts to service hours.

Instead, she said TransLink is shifting services to where they’re needed.

As for when the changes could be in place, they could come as early as 2016 and into 2017.

For more information on the proposed changes or to take the survey, go to www. translink.ca/tnc.

Other changes being prosed in Burnaby include adding two-way service on the SFU campus, splitting the Metrotown-EdmondsNew Westminster (106) route to only travel between Edmonds and New Westminster stations via Ed-

monds Street and Sixth Street.

The transit authority is also proposing changes to the 49th Avenue-Champlain Heights (49/26) route including discontinuing the 54th Avenue section from the 49 and redesigning the 26 along Arlington and Tyne streets.

For the Metrotown station,TransLink would intro-

duce new eastbound stops along Central Boulevard directly beneath the SkyTrain station and redesign the 49, 116, 130 and 430 to operate as a one-way loop via Imperial,Willingdon and Central streets.

Eat just the seeds of this seasonal fruit editorial@burnabynow.com

What could be more appealing to the eyes and the appetite than the appearance of a pomegranate that has just been pulled apart?

The sight of the large cluster of seeds glistening like a crimson beehive makes my mouth water! The taste of these juicy tidbits that explode with flavour is just the beginning of the benefits to eating this wonderful fruit.

The name pomegranate is derived from the Latin name granatum meaning “fruit of many seeds.”

The leathery skin and membrane of this fruit are inedible, and therefore the seeds are the only part that we consume. Each small seed is encompassed in a juicefilled casing, and both can easily be consumed together. Some opt to discard the small inner seed after robbing it of its juice, but this tedious task is not necessary. Although these inner seeds are slightly bitter in comparison to the juice that surrounds them, they are a great source of fibre.

Pomegranates are harvested when they are fully mature, as they will not continue to ripen afterwards on their own.They are grown in moderately tropical climates, and it is believed that pomegranates originated from the areas of Iran and Turkey.When choosing a pomegranate, make sure it is unblemished and bright red in colour. It should feel heavy for its size

Their high levels of antioxidants have been compared to that of red wine

thickness of the skin. Pull the pomegranate apart into two halves and then into the four sections.Take care to damage as few of the seeds as possible during this procedure, as the juice will stain clothing very easily.Then gently release the seeds from their nestled clusters on the inner membrane with your fingers.

There are so many applications for the use of pomegranate seeds than just to eat them on their own.They are a great addition to fruit salads, green salads, desserts and sauces, and they make a wonderful garnish for almost any meal.

Other than providing fan-

tastic flavour, the juice from pomegranates is very nutritional.This is not only determined from their fair levels of potassium and vitamin C, but mostly from the amount of antioxidants they provide.Their high levels of antioxidants have been compared to that of red wine and are superior to other juices such as cranberry, and blueberry. If juicing pomegranates sounds like a task you would rather not endure, pomegranate juice in its natural state can be purchased in bottles at your local supermarket.

The most widely known usage of pomegranate juice is in grenadine.The main usage of this sweet syrup is in the preparation of cocktail type drinks and some desserts. However, one look at the ingredient list on the label of a popular brand, and you will realize that it does not state pomegranate juice anywhere. Could it be part of the natural and artificial flavour it does list as the fourth ingredient?

If you would rather have grenadine that you know contains real pomegranate juice, it can easily be made at home. Macerate the seeds of two pomegranates with approximately 1.5 cups of white sugar. Cover and let sit for 24 hours.

Bring to a boil, simmer for a few minutes, and then strain through a wire mesh strainer. Cover and refrigerate.

Although the seed casings are somewhat durable, care should be taken when preparing this fruit for consumption.

With a sharp knife, cut just the skin off from the top of the pomegranate, where the crown is located.

Score the skin into four sections vertically, being careful not to insert the blade of the knife deeper than the

A Home Awaits at Tsawwassen Springs

L

ongtime local residents Jim and Kathy Clarke watched with interest as Tsawwassen Springs masterplanned community came to life.

“We weren’t even thinking about moving, although we are now empty nesters,” says Jim Clarke. “But we’d been watching the development and gradually we became more interested.” Impressed with the quality and beauty of the natural surroundings, they decided to check out the show home.

“The location was very important to us but it was more than that … the quality construction really got me,” he says, adding his company works with the construction industry. “We also love the fact that many young families have bought here as well.”

The couple soon found themselves buying a three-bedroom sub-penthouse in Phase Two. “My wife Kathy loves the open-concept kitchen, the high ceilings and big decks,” he says. “We have great views of the bluff and

of the golf course. We also like being close to the ferry terminal, the security of the community and the turnkey lifestyle.”

Welcome to Phase 3 of Shato Holdings Ltd’s masterplanned community; Tsawwassen Springs. The six-storey concrete building will feature 90 residences, ranging from 553-square-foot studios up to more than 2600 square feet of penthouse living with oversized private rooftop patios.

“We listened to feedback from buyers in Phase One and Two and took the best of what they told us for Phase Three,” says Sarah Toigo, Director, Sales and Marketing for the project.

The residences feature nine-foot ceilings (11 feet on the sub-penthouse level, 12 feet in the penthouses), engineered hardwood flooring, floor-to-ceiling windows, master bedrooms that accommodate a kingsize bed, as well as gourmet kitchens with a premium stainless-steel appliance package, granite countertops and islands (in select

condos).

The homes also come standard with geoexchange heating, air conditioning and hot water on demand, solar panels to offset maintenance fees and one year of free Telus HD/TV and high-speed internet services.

Spacious decks invite outdoor entertaining at its best, with North Shore mountain, water and golf course views included.

Nestled among walking trails and in close proximity to the ocean, Tsawwassen Springs sits on 137 acres in the midst of the Tsawwassen Springs Golf Course. The buzz surrounding this enclave has attracted investors including the likes of Michael Buble and record producer Bruce Allen.

Set to open this fall, Pat Quinn’s Restaurant & Bar (named after the NHL legend) overlooks the fairways of Tsawwassen Springs.

For nearly five decades, the awardwinning Vancouver-based builder, founded

by Peter C. Toigo of the White Spot restaurant chain, has built a reputation for innovative design combined with outstanding quality.

Right now, Tsawwassen Springs is offering limited time incentives: cash enticements for smaller condos (based on purchase price), and double side-by-side car garage for larger condos.

These stylish contemporary condos start at $299,900 and include one parking stall with electric charger for a golf cart or electric car, secured parking and storage.

Larger condos come with two parking stalls.

Tsawwassen Springs Sales Centre show home (the 1600-square-foot corner condo) is located at 111-5099 Springs Blvd. Both are open Tuesday to Sunday, from noon to 5 pm.

For more information, call 604-9484663, email info@tsawwassensprings.ca or visit www.TsawwassenSprings.ca.

Seymour Village celebrates the North Shore The contemporary architecture was designed to embrace the natural beauty that surrounds Seymour Village

T

he North Shore has long had a reputation as one of nature’s leading playgrounds, surrounded as it is by ski hills, mountain biking and hiking trails and endless ocean views. This is where Seymour Village - a masterplanned community comprising of West coast inspired townhomes in the heart of the North Shore – has found its niche.

These are some of the reasons so many locals, young/older professionals and outdoor enthusiasts choose to live here – another includes the fact that it is home to some of the Lower Mainland’s best schools.

Now they have another reason – Seymour Village. Aquilini Development and Takaya Development have released Phase 1 - a collection of 49 three and two level, three bedrooms townhomes, ranging from 1,608 square feet to 1,760. However, the surprise might be when prospective buyers discover how well-priced these are compared to everything else in North

Vancouver. The smaller townhomes start from just $699,900.

“We have a list of more than 850 on our data base of people who have expressed interest in Seymour Village,” says Deren Akinci, project manager Rennie Marketing Systems. “People really see the value that Seymour Village has to offer, this type of product for these prices can’t be found anywhere else on the North Shore.”

Coming from renowned, awardwinning architect Nick Bevanda of CEI Architecture, Seymour Village was designed in response to the West coast way of life. The firm’s idea was to “marry the lifestyle to the site.”

Every element has been well thought out and planned – from the interior layouts to the selection of West Coast-inspired materials – to redefine what North Shore living is all about. The contemporary open concept floor plans feature two designer colour schemes as well as quality finishes

such as laminate flooring, an electric fireplace, plush carpeting in the bedrooms and expansive windows to allow for lots of natural light.

The sleek kitchens are showcased by a large island that doubles as an eating bar, custom built white cabinetry, engineered stone countertop with porcelain Statuario backsplash and a stainless steel appliance package, which includes a gas range and microwave.

Meanwhile, on those balmy evenings residents can head out onto a spacious deck and patio or the centrally located landscaped communal green space to socialize with neighbours and friends.

Seymour Village comes from Aquilini in partnership with Takaya Development.

The award-winning developer has built a reputation as a trusted builder in the construction industry. With more than five decades in the industry, Aquilini has a diverse portfolio of properties, including

downtown Vancouver’s Richards and False Creek’s The Maynards Block condominium projects. Much the same can be said about Takaya, a trusted developer which has been instrumental in building more than 1,500 homes in the Raven Woods neighbourhood for more than two decades.

Seymour Village is minutes away from downtown Vancouver and nearby urban amenities such as Nester’s Market, Maa Yoga Studio, Shoppers Drug Mart and the Parkgate Library. It is also situated a short distance to shops and boutique cafes in Deep Cove’s picturesque seaside village.

Seymour Village is Now Selling at its Presentation Centre, located at 590 Raven Woods Dr, North Vancouver. The sales centre is open daily from noon to 5 p.m. (except Friday). For more information, call 604.924.0818, email info@seymourvillage.com or visit www. seymourvillage.com. Tentative occupancy is slated for spring 2017.

Clan rack up yards, lose

Simon Fraser University rushed for a season-high 183 yards but couldn’t find the end zone losing 19-0 to the South Dakota School of Mines in Great Northwest Athletic Conference football action on Dunham Field at O’Harra Stadium.

Simon Fraser remains winless at 0-5 this season while the Hardrockers improved to 5-2 overall and 2-1 in the GNAC. Simon Fraser junior running back Ante Milanovic-Litre rushed for a game-high 124 yards on 21 carries but the Clan was only able to drive the ball into the red zone on its final possession.

Simon Fraser hosts Western Oregon on Oct. 31 at Swangard Stadium.

Spartans climb the charts Di Trocchio scores as TWU stretches undefeated streak to 11

Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Burnaby’s Isabella Di Trocchio contributed offensively to help push the Trinity Western University Spartans past the University of Manitoba 6-0 last Saturday in women’s university soccer.

The win, one of three that improved the Langley program’s record to 9-1-2, continued a run that has the Spartans ranked among the Canada West top-two teams.Trinity Western jumped three spots in Canadian Interuniversity Sports rankings, going from ninth to sixth.

A fourth-year forward, Di Trocchio netted her fourth goal of the season by lining in a cross-field shot at the 41st-minute mark to make it 4-0.

Krista Gommeringer set the

pace with two goals in the opening eight minutes.

Teammate Seina Kashima, a second-year Burnaby South alum, distributed the ball well to help create a number of scoring chances and rattled a shot off the crossbar in the 35th minute.

“I’m really pleased with tonight’s effort,” said Spartans coach Graham Roxburgh. “Obviously the early goals settled us down and got us into a rhythm.

(Gommeringer) had two great finishes and it was good to see her on the scoresheet. ... I can’t think of one player who didn’t put in the performance that we wanted.”

The week had three one-sided decisions in the Spartans’ favour: a 5-0 blanking of the University of the Fraser Valley, and 4-0 over University of Winnipeg. Striker Ali Oliverio led all scorers with six

tallies over the three matches, giving her 10 goals in 12 games. It earned her Canada West’s player of the week honours.

Trinity Western bumped its undefeated streak to 11 games and are in a showdown with UBC and UFV for top spot in the conference.

UBC, which includes Burnaby’s Kym van Duynhoven, picked up close victories over Calgary (10) and Lethbridge (2-1) to improve to 10-1 on the season.

The regular season wraps up this weekend, with the Spartans travelling to Victoria and Vancouver.

First place in the conference could come down to Saturday’s showdown, 5 p.m. at UBC’s Thunderbird Stadium.

UBC leads the race, a single point ahead of Trinity.

The Steelers counted four powerplay goals and were relatively disciplined in topping the Delta Ice Hawks 7-4 on Tuesday in Pacific Junior B Hockey League action.

Burnaby native Nico Bruno scored once and set up two others to lead a balanced attack. Counting a goal and an assist each were Christian Bettiol, Braeden Gurney, Ian Provost and Adam Rota.

Lucas Mercer and Sean Norbury also tallied.

Delta opened the scoring midway through the first,

but Grandview countered when Mercer, on the manadvantage, and Norbury, with his sixth of the season, put the visitors ahead after 20 minutes.

Rota and Bruno sandwiched goals around an Ice Hawk tally to give Grandview a 4-2 lead.

Gurney’s marker 5:27 into the final period proved to be the winner.

Grandview drew 65 penalty minutes and Delta was tagged with 109 minutes -most during an extended third period.The two teams were slapped with a combined eight misconducts in the third period.

The Steelers host Abbotsford on Sunday, 4 p.m. at BWC.
