A visit to a Burnaby homeless camp It’s a short stretch through tangled brush and trees to John’s place, a homemade shack in the woods EXCLUSIVE By Jennifer Moreau

IN THE WOODS Burnaby NOW reporters Jennifer Moreau and Jeremy Deutsch paid a visit to a hidden homeless camp to see what life was like sleeping outdoors.

a stove, several paintings and a cat named Spunky, and a “neighbour” camping out in the same stretch of brush. “It’s not exactly outdoors,” John says. “I’m indoors. I have a queen-sized bed. It’s a little unconventional perhaps, but I mean it kind of looks worse than it is. My neighbour keeps telling me to clean up. I guess I should probably do that one of these days.” According to the last Homeless

I don’t like shelters. Who would? Count in 2013, Burnaby only has 58 people living outdoors, in shelters or couch surfing – down from 78 in the previous count.The next count is in 2017. John seems content, all things
considered. He can cook for himself, and if he gets cold, he uses his stove to keep warm. He buys food with what little money he has – he receives some kind of emergency funds from the government, but that’s running out unless he applies for disability. He also says he gets some money from selling his paintings. “Rent’s got too ridiculous,” he says, “and the places you can afford are not really that desirable.”

John’s not too concerned about the lack of a permanent, yearround homeless shelter in Burnaby. He wouldn’t use it anyway. “I don’t like shelters,” he said. “Who would? Why the hell would you want to be told when to get up, when to eat, when to go to sleep?” Wanda Mulholland of the Burnaby Task Force on Continued on page 9

Living in the bush has its hazards. A couple of years ago, John was sleeping in his shack when he felt something warm on his foot, warm enough to stir him from sleep. A burning candle had started a fire and spread through his home as he slept. “I was sitting there in my underwear, (I) jumped out of bed, I looked around, threw some clothes out the door, and luck would have it, I found a matching pair of shoes,” he recalls. John, who prefers we don’t use his last name, tried to put out the fire, but his water supply was frozen, so there wasn’t much he could do. John stayed at a friend’s house, but when he returned, his entire home burned down. John’s not the only one. In February last year, a man ran out on to Lougheed Highway, after his tent caught fire, and he was taken to hospital in critical condition. Last November, another camp caught fire on the side of Lougheed, but when firefighters arrived, there was no one on site. John didn’t stick around to wait for fire trucks to show up when his place burned down. “I didn’t really feel like watching it burn, and I wasn’t really quite sure of any potential consequences for me, so there was no point in hanging around,” he says. It’s a short stretch through tangled brush and trees to John’s place, a homemade shack in the woods, not far from Burnaby’s Still Creek. John is one of Burnaby’s 60 or so homeless. He wears jeans and a matching denim jacket with work boots and has long, dark hair. His home includes a bed with a frame he built himself,

Newsnow Breaking bread
Mixed metaphors were the order of the day at the much-anticipated opening of a new Whole Foods Market in North Burnaby Thursday. It was the consummation of a successful “courtship” with the city of Burnaby, according to Joe Rogoff, president of Whole Foods’ Pacific Northwest Region, and it was also the store’s birthday. “I am one proud papa today,” he said at the grandopening event Thursday morning. Shoppers and many of the store’s 230 employees flocked to the front of the store for the ceremony. Mayor Derek Corrigan, who was on hand, admitted to being a late convert to the buzz around the new store – the 11th in Canada and the fifth in the Lower Mainland. “I confess I didn’t know
what Whole Foods was when they first came in,” he said, “and I was really surprised when all my young staff were saying, ‘This is the greatest thing that’s happened on Earth that we’re getting a Whole Foods.’” A tour of a Vancouver store brought him on board, he said, adding the new market is now part of the Burnaby of the future. “I think it gives evidence to the fact that Burnaby is becoming an exciting, urban community,” he said. Corrigan joined store officials in tearing apart a loaf of bread to mark the store’s official opening. Whole Foods also presented Burnaby Community Services with a $2,000 cheque to mark the start of an ongoing partnership. – By Cornelia Naylor

Feds will extend Burnaby pipeline review Extension will allow for gas emissions assessment and more First Nations consultations By Jennifer Moreau
jmoreau@burnabynow.com
The federal government is planning to extend its Kinder Morgan pipeline review by several months to allow for a downstream greenhouse gas emissions assessment and more consultation with First Nations. The move pushes the final answer for Kinder Morgan from August to
December of this year. “Today the Government of Canada is delivering on a key promise to do things differently,” said James Carr, the federal minister for Natural Resources. The changes were part of the government’s Wednesday announcement on interim principles designed to restore trust in a process that has drawn ire from the public and politicians for months.
Government officials spoke on background only in a conference call and briefing with media, followed by comments from Carr and Environment Minister Catherine McKenna. The two major projects currently under National Energy Board review are the Energy East pipeline and Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline. The Trans Mountain hearing is in the final
stages, as intervenors’ final oral arguments wrap up in Burnaby. Under the current rules, cabinet has the final say on whether the pipeline will proceed, and government’s own deadline will be extended by four months giving them a total of seven to consider the project. The government has no current plans to deal with downstream greenhouse gas emissions only upstream at the point
of extraction. The NOW asked if and when the government plans to address public complaints about the NEB’s hearing process, like the lack of oral cross examination or ability for the public to sit in on the hearings. Carr replied that the government can’t apply long-term NEB reforms to the current projects. “That would not be fair
or responsible, but the comments, such as the one you just made, reflecting what your community is saying, will be very important to the Government of Canada as we look at the best way we can reform the regulatory system in the long-term, and all of the issue you mentioned well be considered,” he said.

Newsnow What they’re saying about pipeline rule changes Here’s how the stakeholders have reacted to the government’s new rules for pipeline projects: Burnaby South MP Kennedy Stewart, from Ottawa, following a government briefing on the changes: “You can’t believe how scrambly it is here. They’re so panicked. They rushed this thing through. … The Liberals have adopted Harper’s process. They’re following it to the letter. If I was somebody living in Burnaby going to be affected by this, I would feel betrayed, I would feel lied to from what was said in the election to what was said today.” Ian Anderson, president and CEO of Kinder Morgan Canada:
“While we have concerns about how this delay could impact the project schedule, we support the principle that public confidence in the review process is crucial and look forward to working with the Government of Canada on how our years of work in the area of consultation will be considered.” Terry Beech, MP for Burnaby North-Seymour “First of all this is a new process. This is a revised process. In order to do a full revision of the National Energy Board process, that’s going to take significant more time. We have to remember there are a large number of community groups that have spent money and thousands of hours preparing their presentations, right?
“This allows us to both take that into account as well as going to collect new information to deliver closure on a timely basis both to the proponent but also to the communities.” (Read the full interview on Jennifer Moreau’s blog at www.burnabynow.com.) New Westminster-Burnaby MP Peter Julian: “They’re tacking on a few things that may sound nice, but they have no connection to the actual process. … They did climb down from their commitments during the election campaign that these projects should be subject to a thorough and credible process – it’s not happening.”
‘They’re tacking on a few things that may sound nice’ Continued from page 3 he was surprised at the Liberals’ efforts to put window dressing on an illegitimate process. “They’re tacking on a few things that may sound nice, but they have no connection to the actual process,” he said.The First Nations consultations would not be connected to the hearing, he added, and there are no targets or caps on associated greenhouse gas emissions. “They did climb down from their commitments during the election campaign that these projects should be subject to a thor-

They did climb down from their commitments ough and credible process – it’s not happening,” Julian said. No one from Kinder Morgan was available for an interview. Highlights from Wednesday’s announcement: ! No current projects will go back to the drawing board.
! The government will appoint a ministerial representative to collect public feedback from communities affected by projects. ! The Crown will undertake “deeper” consultation with First Nations and will provide funding to make it happen. !There will be an upstream greenhouse gas emissions assessment, but no consideration of downstream emissions, and the information will be public.

Opinion now OUR VIEW
This battle needs a Supreme decision They’re off to the big leagues now. The Supreme Court of Canada has agreed to hear the B.C.Teachers’ Federation’s case, arguing it was unconstitutional for the province to strip class size and composition provisions out of their collective agreement. The province first imposed legislation that removed teachers’ ability to bargain class size and com-
position in 2002. After a B.C. Supreme Court judge deemed the law unconstitutional in 2011, the province imposed a new law the following year. Similar to the previous legislation, it restricted school boards’ power to determine staffing levels and establish class size and composition – the number of special needs students in a class, for example, or how many teaching assistants
can be hired per student in a school. A B.C. Supreme Court judge ruled the legislation unconstitutional in 2014. The dispute led to an acrimonious strike that cut the 2014 school year short and wasn’t resolved until September of that year. Famously, the Supreme Court never says why it chooses to hear the cases it does. Only about three per cent
of would-be appeals make the cut, but the supremes tend to opt for cases that address major questions about our fundamental freedoms. The basic question here centres on to what extent teachers can freely negotiate these types of working conditions into their contracts and whether governments have the ability to opt out of contracts when it becomes politically expedient.
And the Supreme Court justices’ ruling will become the law of the land, so no doubt, public sector unions and all three levels of government Canada-wide will be watching the case closely. Without getting into the minutiae of the legal arguments or even whether smaller class sizes are a benefit to students, it will be nice to have some level of closure. Every round of contract
negotiations between the BCTF and the province and every painful labour dispute since 2002 has been coloured by this unfinished business. No matter what the outcome, we’re glad to see this appeal will be heard at the highest level. A battle this long deserves a definitive end. COMMENT ON THIS AT

MY VIEW PETER TOTH
Try a little understanding “And why can’t you work full-time?You don’t look disabled.” If I had a dollar for every time I encountered the misunderstanding in such a comment, the money might solve the tragedies engendered by such thinking. I could answer, “I have Parkinson’s disease,” and I desperately wish this were true, for that would stand as an acceptable response to the inquiry, releasing me from the need for further justification. Instead, I answer, somewhat awkwardly: “I have a mental illness – schizophrenia.” I find it peculiar how, almost always, the former response is automatically respected as legitimate while the latter is doomed to be criticized as an excuse. Especially since Parkinson’s and schizophrenia are similar neurological ailments differentiated only by one causative triviality: levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine in the sufferer’s brain – Parkinson’s develops due to a dopamine deficiency, schizophrenia from a dopamine excess. Why are mental illnesses so frequently misunderstood? A person with no direct experience of physical pain could never truly empathize with the plight of a chronic arthritis sufferer. In the same manner, if you have always been blessed with healthy mental functioning, you may be limited in your ability to visualize the vast spectrum of possible mental states.You would
likely perceive adversity as a fleeting nuisance capable of being overcome with sufficient mettle or patience. Personally, I would infinitely prefer the kind of adversity that can be overcome in positive ways without the psych ward visit. Unfortunately, for some individuals, complete recovery is not chemically feasible, even with today’s cutting edge treatments and medications. If you are afflicted with a mental illness, don’t give up hope and don’t stop searching for ways to maximize your functioning. And if you aren’t afflicted with a mental illness, educate yourself to open your mind and heart to others’ suffering. I concede to the possibility I may never be able to switch to full-time work; I even acknowledge the slim chance my schizophrenia will deteriorate and I may require hospitalization. But these threats will never prevent me from continuing to strive, to persevere, to conquer the disorder, and to face life’s challenges fiercely. Future research could uncover a cure for schizophrenia and, thus, enduring its symptoms may become an antiquated obligation. Until then, I plead for the public’s understanding and acceptance of the condition. Such an achievement I shall hail as the crossing of the final great frontier by the human heart.

How come you’re OK with picking on conservatives?
Holy HarperCat, what a hullabaloo
Dear Editor Seriously, “HarperCat” on the front page? I always find it interesting how conservative figures can be depicted in all sorts of horrible ways and no one bats an eye. Can you imagine the uproar if someone made a fanged, blood-dripping Justin Trudeau, Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama? The outrage would be instant, followed closely by calls of racism, sexism or the next trending “ism.” But since it’s Harper (or Bush, or Blair, or Clark), no issue putting on the front page of a newspaper, I guess. James Potter, by email
Life lessons learned at Neighbourhood House Dear Editor Life lessons are always very important, but it’s unfortunate that sometimes you have to learn these lessons the hard way. This is the case for us at the Burnaby Neighbourhood House. As was reported by Jennifer Moreau, the Neighbourhood House was the victim of a break and enter. The incident was devastating to all of us who work passionately in our community to help others. The initial shock of “How could someone do this to us?” was followed by well, they did, and we have learned. Thieves make you smarter. Over the course of the last week, we reviewed and quickly put into place new security This incident measures. is not going to We were all not change who we reminded to leave valuare ables in our desk drawers as well as our favourite chocolate snacks. I also heard from our other Burnaby community partners that our experience caused them to review their security procedures as well. I must say that as last week progressed, each day brought a smile and reassured me that there are way more good people in this world than bad. The numerous e-mails, phone calls and general concern from our neighbours was sincere and real. The heightened publicity brought us a new diamond from Vancouver Diamonds, other prizes for upcoming gala fundraiser and raised awareness of our upcoming Diamond Ball Gala. The Beedie Cares employee group stepped up and offered to cover our insurance deductible and also donate to our gala. I would like to thank all our community neighbours and friends for their kind words as well as the Burnaby Neighbourhood House staff and volunteer team for helping with the cleanup and putting this experience behind us. This incident is not going to change who we are in the community. The Burnaby Neighbourhood House in both South and North Burnaby will continue to be a place that welcomes and supports everyone. Antonia Beck, executive director, Burnaby Neighbourhood House
Bill Thomson I was surprised to learn that a few Burnaby Now readers feel strongly that politics and art have no right to share the same public exhibition space or the front page of a privately owned newspaper. I am often reminded that the act of making art itself can be a political action by the artist. A unique and creative way for any artist to critically assess or express their view of the world around them. I fully support the Deer Lake Gallery’s decision to include Ron Simmers ‘Harper Cat’ sculpture in the group exhibition titled ‘Moved by Portraits”, Bill Thomson, Director, Burnaby Arts Council. bill smith Bill Thomson That’s not the point... it’s tasteless and disrespectful.. there is nothing wrong with mixing politics and art, but it should be done in a tasteful manner. and if it’s done with public funds, this also raises eyebrows. It’s not possible for political art to be neutral so it should be done in a balanced way.... Nick Hughes Much ado...The complaint concerns the actual “printing” of a picture of an art exhibit in a local newspaper. That someone should be so offended is asinine. Obviously, the artist has a right to create. As does the newspaper the right to publish the news of a local art exhibit. Rod P Drown I find it distasteful but we have freedom of expression in this country -- a valuable thing. Now, if I was an artist as expressive as Mr Simmer, my sculpture of Justin Trudeau, for example, would be of a man disappearing into his “Selfie” camera. Young Trudeau’s self -absorption is quite remarkable. Paul Forseth The problem is that it demeans our country as a whole. No PM should be depicted this way. Michelle Martin-Devins Harper is no longer a “PM” thankfully. I think its an insult to any living creature to be depicted as Harper. Michelle Martin-Devins Harper did not represent this beautiful country as a whole. Neither does this “art” reflect our country, if anything it lets the people seeing it that not all Canadians were blind to Harpers bull and we know how to admit a mistake and remedy it. Former PM.

City now Homeless camp in woods preferable to a shelter Continued from page 1 Homelessness says there are challenges with people who have been homeless for a very long time. “But there are many examples of people who have found housing that they’re able to work with,” she said. “Shelter is only one of the housing options.The need is not only for shelter, it is for a wide continuum of housing options. Shelter is only one of those.” Everybody’s different in terms of what would work for them, she adds. Some people prefer housing in a non-profit run building with supports on site, others may prefer a shelter or
their own apartment with rental subsidies. “People have been very creative in establishing camps for themselves in the woods, and those camps can become problematic if there’s a fire or it’s extremely cold, and it’s quite possible people could live very comfortably without infringing on anybody for a very long time,” she says. “Housing is very expensive. People do what they need to support themselves to live and to find housing that will work for them. People are very creative about it.”
Task Force pitches ideas to city The Burnaby Homeless Task Force is urging the City of Burnaby to consider a combination of options for local people sleeping outdoors. The task force met with the city’s planning and development committee to pitch different housing models on Tuesday night. “The meeting went very well,” said Wanda Mulholland, spokesperson for the task force. “The presentation was well-received, and the task force continues to be committed to working with the city to create a made-for-Burnaby housing solution.We will be waiting to hear back from the city
on next steps on that.” Burnaby is one of a few Lower Mainland municipalities that does not have a year-round homeless shelter. In a previous interview with the NOW, Mayor Derek Corrigan said he doesn’t want a homeless shelter in Burnaby, but he would welcome a transitional housing facility with proper supports for mental health and addictions if the province was willing to fund it, and Housing Minister Rich Coleman said there’s “money on the table” for a shelter in Burnaby. Coleman’s comments are what prompted Mulhol-
land’s presentation, as she’s hoping to get all levels of government working together on a solution. On Tuesday, she talked about the North Shore Housing Centre as just one example.The facility offers a mix of transitional housing units, short-term housing beds and sleeping mats as part of the extreme weather program when the weather is so cold or wet that people’s lives are at risk. Coun. Sav Dhaliwal, who sits on the planning and development committee, said they asked staff to study the issue and report back. He said the committee thought Mulholland’s presentation
was interesting and they are open to the idea of a mix of services for homeless people that lead to more stable housing. “We’d like to know more about that,” he said. “We’re still on the same page as Mayor Corrigan.We’re not just interested in an overnight shelter; it just doesn’t work.” “But we’re not going to talk about just shelters,” he added. “If Coleman is talking about money for housing that actually leads to housing, we want to talk about that.” – By Jennifer Moreau
Does the Virto V Replace Traditional Hearing Aids? Whether at work, during conversations in small groups or when watching television, one in six adults experience problems when it comes to accurate speech comprehension and hearing in everyday situations. Although background noise and music can impair communication with friends and family, two thirds of those affected still do not use any hearing aids.
For some clients, the smaller design of the Virto V hearing aids might possibly replace the more traditional behind-the-ear hearing aids, and like many of our other products, these hearing aids can easily connect wirelessly with TVs and smartphones,” explains Prof. Stefan Launer, CSO of the Swiss manufacturer Phonak. See how the virtually invisible Vitro V fits into your daily routine.
There are many reasons for this but for most people it’s that they are not convinced that hearing aids will significantly benefit them or it’s the unease they feel about attracting attention by wearing a visible hearing aid.
Virtual function of the ear
This is why the Swiss manufacturer Phonak has developed a world first: Virto V. These hearing aids are manufactured using a modern 3D printing process that provides a custom-fit miniature hearing aid that disappears into the ear canal, making it almost invisible to others. Despite its small size, the latest and most advanced Phonak hearing technology is still contained in the casing.
“Thanks to a new operating system, these new hearing aids can provide a virtual alternative for natural hearing, as experienced by people with normal hearing. Through intelligent control, the software can improve speech understanding, even in loud situations and by utilizing the 3D printing process, these hearing aids fit the natural anatomy of the ear as closely as possible making them truly a custom-fit solution.
Prof. Stefan Launer, CSO of Swiss If you are interested in finding out more manufacturer Phonak, presents about these new hearing aids, the first step is to book hearing evaluation and the new Virto V hearing aids. determine if the new Virto V technology is the right solution for you. For those who are hard of hearing, this can be particularly useful for finding out whether it is possible to hear and understand more clearly with discreet in-the-canal hearing solutions.
At Connect Hearing we offer you the chance to be among the first to try these state-of-the-art hearing aids. Call 1.888.771.7459 to book your complimentary evaluation today.

Magical musical set to take flight Chitty Chitty Bang Bang opens in Burnaby Feb. 5 Julie MacLellan
jmaclellan@burnabynow.com
Chad Matchette has a habit of taking on big projects – witness the past productions of Shrek the Musical and The Addams Family that have graced the Michael J. Fox Theatre stage over the past two years. This year, though, Matchette and his compatriots with Align Entertainment may just be topping themselves for ambition: they have to make a car fly. It’s all in the spirit of the family favourite Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, opening Feb. 5 in Burnaby. Matchette, who’s directing the production, says the musical was the perfect choice for the Coquitlambased theatre company because it hits all the notes Align Entertainment is looking for. “It’s family friendly, good for everybody, with lots of
fun parts, lots of great music, and it hadn’t been done here before,” he says. “It’s a big one, that’s for sure.” The musical is based on the classic 1968 film version of Ian Fleming’s children’s book, and Matchette loves the huge nostalgia value in the offering for those who remember it being on TV every Christmas – and who can sing along with the title song. “It’s such a family favourite,” he says. “Everybody on the face of the planet knows that song.” The story follows the adventures of eccentric inventor Caractacus Potts (Kevin Michael Cripps), who sets about restoring an old race car with the help of his children, Jeremy and Jemima (Dawson Vogt and Jaime MacLean) – only to discover that the car has magical properties. Trouble occurs when they have to keep the car away
from the bad guys – and Matchette promises huge fun for all ages as the story unfolds on stage. He’s not revealing any secrets about how said flying car will be brought to life – but he laughingly admits that the company has spent somewhat less than the £750,000 legendarily spent on the prop for the production’s original London run. The cast includes Burnaby residents Katie Purych, featured as the baroness, along with ensemble members Jesse Alvarez, Sabrielle McCurdy-Foreman, Stef Stanley and MarciaYu, plus children’s ensemble members Avril and Sophia Brigden. ! Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is onstage at the Michael J. Fox Theatre, 7373 MacPherson Ave., Feb. 5 to 20. See www. alignentertainment.ca for details and to buy tickets.

Burnaby artist explores water Julie MacLellan LIVELY CITY
jmaclellan@burnabynow.com
A Burnaby artist’s explorations of water are on the walls of the Water Shed Arts Café in Langley for the month of February. Of Water, featuring the photography and paint-
ings of Julie Prescott, is on show from Feb. 1 to 29. An artist talk is set for Tuesday, Feb. 2 from 7 to 9 p.m. Prescott got interested in photography as a little girl, waiting outside her father’s darkroom doors. “As a grownup, taking photos gives me a deep appreciate of life’s minutiae … of texture and tone,
shadow and light … and brings me moments of utter and deep connection to the world,” she writes in an artist’s statement. “It reminds me that we truly are just one tiny part of a glorious whole … that nature isn’t something external to us: it is us.” She writes, too, of her reverence for water: “Such a wondrous thing: serene yet
forceful, life giving and sustaining.Transmutable. Energetic and responsive to emotions, it soothes and exhilarates us; and we, in turn, can change its very form with our feelings … with music.” Intrigued? Stop by the café to see Prescott’s work for yourself. Continued on page 12

Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It s likely that you ll t somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that t comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps slip of your shoulder or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running?

City now Trucks stuck for parking By Jeremy Deutsch
jdeutsch@burnabynow.com
Water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink.Well, it’s not exactly Coleridge’s Rime of the Ancient Mariner, but for small business owners operating heavy machinery and large trucks in Burnaby, there’s lots of industrial space with not a lot of places to park. This week, the city’s planning and development committee looked at the issue, which has been top of mind for some in the business community for a number of years. Specifically, the committee was reviewing a staff report regarding truck storage in the Big Bend development area in response to a request from a delegation back in 2012 for more industrial yard space to store heavy machinery and contractor material. The lengthy report concluded the city will try to implement a balance between traditional industrial uses and newer higher
intensity industrial development by supporting outdoor storage uses in appropriate areas through zoning bylaws. Coun. Sav Dhaliwal, who sits on the planning committee, explained that some operators have been parking the heavy machinery on their own residential property, which isn’t allowed. Some are also parking the machinery in the agricultural areas of the city, a practice the municipality intends to curb. “Once you start doing that kind of stuff, it’s a pretty fast erosion of protected agriculture zoning land,” he told the NOW. While the councillor doesn’t envision a solution where a parcel of land is set aside to park hundreds of trucks, the answer may be allowing the existing businesses to utilize their space better. “We realize how important it is to our community, if the entrepreneurs live here, to accommodate their business needs as well,”
#makingbusinessbetter |
Dhaliwal said. The staff report offered a snapshot of the industrial landscape in Burnaby. Industrial land in the city makes up about 1,358 hectares (3,355 acres) of land in Burnaby, or approximately 29 per cent of the city’s “developable” land base. Five of the industrial designations in the city – which include manufacturing, general industrial, heavy industrial, special industrial, and truck terminal districts – make up approximately 676 hectares (1,671 acres), or approximately 50 per cent of industrial land, with the city noting the districts can potentially accommodate the various truck or outdoor storage uses, as requested by the delegation. The delegation had also requested the city consider rezoning four specific properties in Big Bend Development Plan area to the “M3” heavy industrial district in order to permit the outdoor storage of commercial vehicles and contractor materials.

Pickleball makes the world a better place Cornelia Naylor CLASS ACT

A Byrne Creek Secondary school service club has harnessed the growing popularity of pickleball to raise funds for its community initiatives. The Byrne Creek Leos, a youth club affiliated with the Burnaby Edmonds Lions Club, hosted its second charity pickleball tournament with help from the Metro Vancouver Pickleball Club Jan. 16 and 17 and raised $4,000. The event attracted more than 170 enthusiastic “picklers” from all over B.C. and parts of Washington. Founded in 2005 when the school was opened, the Byrne Creek Leos volunteer and organize events to help make the community a better place, gain valuable leadership skills, and meet new people.
PERFECT SCORE A Burnaby Mountain grad was recognized recently by the U.S. organization that develops and administers advanced placement (AP) exams. Daphne Patterson, who graduated last year and is now at the University of Waterloo studying engineering, was one of only 54 students to achieve a perfect score on the AP microeconomics exam, according to a letter from the College Board to Burnaby Mountain principal Andy Chin. PARTY AT THE PARK Confederation Park Elementary celebrates its bicentennial next month and organizers are putting a call out to the community for memorabilia, personal anecdotes and photographs of the North Burnaby school’s last 50 years.

Engaging Education Key to Academic Success
Technology in the classroom can be a polarizing topic. Some parents want to see as much as possible, preparing students for the future, while others would like to see it limited, for fear it dominates studies. Most parents fall somewhere in between and are constantly seeking to strike a balance. At one private school, technology is flourishing. With that comes the responsibility to educate students how best to use it. “Increasingly, there is a need in schools as well as at home, to teach the responsible use of technology,” comments Mrs. Cheryle Beaumont, Urban Academy’s Head of School who welcomes technology in the classroom, but also ensures students know how to be responsible with it. This lesson is of paramount importance as Common Sense Media, an organization dedicated to helping children thrive in a tech world, finds that kids are spending over 50 hours per week in front of a screen. Not surprisingly, the content they consume has a profound impact on their social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development. Digital citizenship, how we behave when we are online, needs to be discussed with children as soon as they start playing with technology. “Our Grade 7 and 8’s are investigating topics such as the use of media in our daily
lives, online scams, phishing, as well as understanding the implications of copyright versus creative commons license for fair use of work,” Mrs. Beaumont explained. “As they move to post-secondary education, and eventually their chosen career path, our aim is that they will be able to respect, educate and protect themselves and others online.” Tools such as iPads make a big impact on the way junior students learn, investigate and complete various activities in the classroom. They engage student learning, encourage them to share their knowledge with others, and create a platform that makes learning visible, providing today’s classroom a global reach. “The iPad can foster collaboration, engagement and mobility in the classroom and create authentic learning spaces for students” comments Ms. Elyse Cochrane, Urban Academy Grade 2 teacher who is completing her masters in technology in the classroom. “iPads are changing how teachers and students share knowledge, empowering students to create and share rich content with their peers. Young students can navigate kid friendly search engines,
create books, music or maps, learn to read and do math in an exciting and interactive environment.” Students expand their creative use of technology in the classroom through photo editing skills and by using iMovies to display their academic understanding. Allowing students to showcase what they have learned through various forms of technology, helps ensure that they truly understand the subject matter, retaining more than simply reading and regurgitating information. Truly learning what is taught in school is ultimately the goal of quality education, isn’t it? For more information about Urban Academy, visit www.urbanacademy.ca

How to help high schoolers choose the right college
Choosing a college or university is the first big decision of many teenagers’ lives. A youngster’s choice of college can impact the rest of his or her life, and it’s important that kids recognize the gravity of this decision. Many kids, in particular those who realize the impact that their choice of college can have on the rest of their lives, are overwhelmed when colleges begin sending information about their programs and campus life. Such information, especially when it is unsolicited, may begin to arrive at the beginning of high school, long before many teenagers have begun to think about where to pursue their educations after high school. But as daunting a task as choosing a college may seem, teenagers should enjoy the process, as the choice of where to go to college is unlike any other decision many students will make for the rest of their lives. Parents also can ensure the process goes more smoothly by helping their kids find the right school. That’s especially true for parents who have already been through the process with an older child. But even parents going through the process for the first time can take the following steps to help youngsters find the right college. • Discuss finances with kids at the outset of the selection process. While the choice of where a student goes to college should ultimately rest with that student, it’s important that parents explain their financial situations to their kids at the outset of the selection process. Explain how much you can contribute toward tuition and fees, and explain the differences between loans and grants. Some kids may expect their parents to foot the entire bill for their education, but such situations are increasingly rare thanks to the rising cost of a college education. Make sure kids know the financial obligations they will be taking on should they take out loans to pay for their education.
• Ask kids to list fields of study they may want to pursue. While incoming college students do not necessarily need to choose a major upon enrolling, kids who know their interests and what they may want to one day do for a living may be more likely to find the right college or university for them. Parents can ask kids to write down a list of their interests, including potential career interests. This can help kids narrow down the list of colleges and universities they are considering. For example, if a student is interested in engineering but a university on their list does not offer an engineering program, then that school can be eliminated. Kids who list multiple potential fields of study may benefit by choosing a larger school with more available programs. This can allow them to pursue more than one major or even switch majors without transferring to another school.
and their folks, parents should not allow such breaks to go on for too long. Stay involved in the process so kids continue to approach it with the right attitude. If kids appear to be struggling with their decision, act as a sounding board for them so they can let off some steam and clear their heads.
• Visit campuses. Student-athletes who hope to continue their athletic careers at the collegiate level may be limited to a certain number of official campus visits, but nonathletes face no such restrictions. While college is first and foremost about getting an education, it’s also an opportunity to grow as a person. Campus visits can give kids a feel for campus life, which varies considerably between colleges, and that feel can help them determine if a given college or university is somewhere they’re liable to feel comfortable over the next several years. Parents can accompany kids on campus visits and ask questions their kids may not know to ask but will certainly be glad to know the answers to. Traveling to various campuses can be expensive, so parents might want to delay campus visits until kids have narrowed down their lists of potential colleges. • Stay involved. Some kids may succumb to the pressure of choosing a college and detach themselves from the process as a result. While taking periodic breaks from talking about college can benefit both kids

Maxima
Grabbing Attention BY DAVID CHAO
Nissan’s flagship is all-new for 2016 and boasts a styling that may forever change the way we look at family sedans. In fact, Nissan calls its newest Maxima a “4-Door Sports Car,” which is how it was marketed many years ago in its previous iterations. The 2016 Nissan Maxima is uniquely styled and comes with many standard features. It fills an interesting niche, standing between comfortable, entry-level luxury cars and funto-drive sport sedans. Highlights of the Maxima’s all-new package include contemporary styling, a great-looking interior and a highly acclaimed engine.
Design
The first thing everybody notices about the new Maxima is its looks. It must be said that not everybody may fall in love with its new styling, but it is truly distinctive and already, many other car companies are following this new design trend called the “floating roof” (for example, the new Lexus RX). Dominating the front end is Nissan’s new V-Motion grille. This certainly creates a dramatic image and makes the Maxima instantly recognizable. The sides of the Maxima also have an interesting flair. The roof borrows the Murano’s floating roof treatment by blacking out the pillars. Intersecting character lines are sculpted into the body to further enhance the look. At the rear, distinctive taillights draw attention, as do the standard dual chrome exhausts. The chrome lip over the license plate follows the front grille design concept. To further strengthen this Maxima’s claim as a 4-Door Sports Car, this generation is longer, lower, light and tighter than the previous. To be specific, this 8th generation is 2.2 inches longer, 1.3 inches lower, 82 lbs lighter and has 25% more torsional rigidity. When crafting the new Maxima’s interior, Nissan designers visited the U.S. Navy’s Blue Angels for inspiration. The resulting cabin is very driver-centric and is actually a hair smaller than the Altima’s however it is far more luxurious and futuristic.
Performance
Environment
The 2016 Maxima is only available with one engine; Nissan heavily revised its VQseries motor to make it more powerful and efficient. Applying what it learned while remaking the iconic Nissan GT-R, 60% of the parts in the 3.5-litre V6 in the Maxima are new. As a result, horsepower is up to 300 and torque is rated at 261 lb-ft. Nissan’s engineering efforts also paid off in terms of efficiency, too. The new Maxima returns a 15% increase in highway fuel economy. Complementing the powerplant is a new continuously variable automatic transmission. This newly designed CVT is quieter thanks to Nissan’s D-Step shifting logic which mimics traditional shifts. A wider gear ratio range allows for stronger acceleration. While enthusiasts may say a sports car should not be front-wheel drive, Nissan optimized the Maxima’s platform to enhance handling and ride comfort. Off the line, the Maxima doesn’t suffer from torque steer, which plagues most FWD cars with this much power. Through corners, it remains flat and feels light and nimble. If you want the most dynamic Maxima, look at the SR model. This version comes with uniquely tuned dampers, a larger front stabilizer bar, sport-tuned suspension, and a dynamic control module. For the first time, the Maxima has selectable driving modes - switching between Normal and Sport modes adjusts throttle response, transmission tuning, steering feel and Active Sound Enhancement. Overall, the Maxima is smooth and quiet on the highway, but firm enough if you want an occasional spirited drive. However, I don’t believe that you can call this car a truly sports sedan due to its overall soft feel and somewhat numb steering. It’s an improvement nevertheless, but Honda’s Accord actually feels a bit tighter when it comes to steering characteristic.
While Nissan put a lot of effort into marketing the Maxima as a sports sedan, the cabin is very upscale and classy.
The Maxima brings with it a luxurious air, especially in upperlevel trims. The stitched and soft-touch dash and doors impart a premium feel, complimented by fantastic diamond-pattern seats. Also, front passengers will have no trouble getting comfortable in those great-looking seats. Nissan’s Zero Gravity seats are well bolstered and both come standard as power-adjustable. Rear seat passengers should also enjoy their time in the Maxima. It boasts near full-size car leg and headroom, so only the tallest passengers will have any complaints. Central to the Maxima’s cockpit is an 8.0-inch colour display, which sits inside the centre stack that is angled seven degrees toward the driver and the console itself sits higher than in previous generations. NissanConnect with navigation is standard on all trim levels. The infotainment system features multi-touch control for intuitive smartphone-like gestures such as swiping and pinch-to-zoom. The system is paired to the standard 7.0-inch Advanced Drive-Assist Display within the instrument cluster and info can be shared between the two.
Features
Standard equipment includes heated leather front seats, heated leather steering wheel, dual-zone automatic climate control, auto-dimming rearview mirror, heated exterior mirrors, rearview camera, voice recognition for audio and navigation, Bluetooth, and LED daytime running lights. Additional features, available as options or on higher trim, include cooled front seats, panoramic moonroof, intelligent cruise control, surround view camera, rainsensing wipers, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Predictive Forward Collision Warning, Forward Emergency Braking, and LED headlights. Fuel efficiency numbers are 10.9 city and 7.8 highway (L/100km).
Thumbs Up
The Nissan Maxima draws a lot of attention, is funto-drive, and spoils its occupants in luxury features. Considering that it won’t break the bank to bring one home, it provides a lot of value.
Thumbs Down
The Maxima’s styling may be too extreme for some peoples’ taste. Also, it doesn’t have the performance of a purely focused sport sedan, or the interior space of a full-size car. The steering feel isn’t actually all that “sporty” and therefore the name 4 door sports car can be misleading.
The Bottom Line
If you are looking for a trendy-looking, well equipped sedan that provides a lot of value, the Maxima maybe the answer.

Family comedy takes centre stage Over the River and Through theWoods is theVagabond Players’ first production of the new year The Vagabond Players are taking on the foibles of an Italian-American family in their next outing at Bernie Legge Theatre. The company is presenting Joe DiPietro’s comedy Over the River and Through theWoods from Feb. 4 to 27. The comedy tells the story of Nick, a single Italian-American guy from New Jersey who is offered a dream job in Seattle and tells his grandparents of his intention to move. But, for a family who has already lost Nick’s sister and parents to distant cities, the move is unthinkable – and so begins a plot designed to keep him around. “Both sets of grandparents do their level best to make Nick stay, and that includes bringing to dinner the lovely – and single – Caitlin O’Hare as bait,” a press release reads. “The resulting situation is deliciously entertaining and filled with fun.” William Valenzuela stars as Nick, with Kimmie Kidd as Caitlin.The cast is rounded out by Mary Adams, Andrew Wood, Robert Bowes and Diana Sandberg as the quartet of grandparents. The Bernie Legge Theatre is at Queen’s Park, New Westminster. Shows run at 8 p.m.Thursday to Satur-

NEW HOME DEVELOPMENT
Resort-style living is yours at T
Lougheed Heights
he Bosa family’s BlueSky Properties, in partnership with Bosa Properties, award-winning builders behind some of the Lower Mainland’s most iconic developments, are once again about to change West Coquitlam’s skyline. In 2014, Bosa unveiled Uptown, a new luxury condominium development in the same neighourhood, which garnered positive reviews and sold out extremely fast. Welcome to Bosa’s newest project Lougheed Heights. In the epicentre of this sought-after postal code – close to SkyTrain, Lougheed Town Centre, excellent schools (including SFU), shops, restaurants – a renaissance of sorts is about to rise with this master planned community. Once completed, it will consist of three towers, the first being a 37-storey concrete building featuring a sophisticated collection of 334 homes. So why are home buyers excited about this newest project? For one, it will feature private resort-style amenities. Club BlueSky at Lougheed Heights will boast more than 24,000 square feet of leisure space over three levels, showcased by a heated outdoor pool on third-floor rooftop complete with cabanas and lounge chairs, a barbecue terrace with fire pits and harvest table and children’s playground. For fitness enthusiasts, there will be a fully equipped fitness centre with its own basketball sport court and steam and sauna rooms. In addition, Club BlueSky will showcase an entertainment lounge and games room, a separate private dining room and chef kitchen, a theatre screening room, two acoustically engineered music rooms and a business centre with meeting room and private study pods. Designed by award-winning architect Chris Dikeakos, the tower will feature generous decks and balconies – great for entertaining or for taking in the sweeping views of the cityscape.
Inside these West Coast contemporary condominiums, the design is understated yet sophisticated, cozy yet clean. They consist of one-, two- and three-bedroom residences varying in size from 504 to 1664 square feet. In addition, there will be two larger subpenthouses and three penthouses on the 36th and 37th floors. Most of the one bedroom homes will come standard with BosaSPACE, a functional concept that was recently introduced in Bosa’s University District and RiverSky communities. BosaSPACE homes will include the ExtenTABLE, which can transform from kitchen island to long table for eight. In addition, they will also have the SleepTHEATRE, a shelving unit which slides open to reveal a sofa/guest-bed behind the television. “West Coquitlam is set to be one of Metro Vancouver’s most promising new communities and that’s why we have invested so heavily in the Evergreen corridor,” says Dale Bosa, CEO of BlueSky Properties. This community is fast becoming known as one of the most desired neighbourhoods in the city and Lougheed Heights will grow right alongside it. West Coquitlam’s reputation is that of Metro Vancouver’s next rapid transit community and Lougheed Heights is steps away from the existing Millennium Line and the future Evergreen Line. With prices starting from $279,900, Lougheed Heights is affordable luxury in the heart of a re-energized community. The sales centre is located at 581 Clarke Road (at Como Lake Ave), Coquitlam and is now open for preview from noon to 5pm daily. Register for more information at www.blueskyproperties.ca, or contact the sales team at 604-939-2677 or email: lougheed@blueskyproperties.ca. Tentative occupancy is slated for winter 2018.

Knights adjust to collect Chancellor title Burnaby school aims to use momentum as they prepare for playoff push Dan Olson
dolson@burnabynow.com
Stymied slightly by the Seacove Seahawks’ 6-foot-1-plus post players, the St. Thomas More Knights studied the situation, looked at the score clock after one quarter, and knew what they needed to do. Up by a single point after 10 minutes, the senior girls basketball team from Burnaby ramped it up and shut down Seacove’s main scoring outlets en route to a 65-52 victory at the STM senior girls Chancellor tournament final on Saturday. Gabrielle Laguerta led the way with 26 points, while Zion Corrales Nelson netted 17 in a tilt that pitted the No. 2-ranked Knights against No. 4 Seycove. Befitting the matchup, the Knights coach found plenty to chew on from a strategic point of view.
We wanted to stay strong from the beginning and all the way through, and I think we did that.
“We couldn’t get a press going (in the first quarter), they dumped the ball to their bigs (posts), we had a hard time controlling their big people but we slowly started to figure out a way to defend them,” remarked STM coach Joe Thierman. “They are a tough team to start.” While the Seahawks narrowed the gap slightly, down to eight after three quarters, STM proved determined to defend its tourney title – and for the Grade 12s, grab as much momentum as possible for the upcoming playoff run. “I don’t think we were too nervous, more focused,” said guard and tourney MVP Corrales Nelson. “For us (seniors) it’s our last Chancellor, our last Chancellor game so we wanted to come out with a bang.There were a little bit of nerves there throughout the game but we shook it off and came out with a strong win (Saturday).” It was one of the goals entering the sea-

son, pointing towards an end line that hopefully leads them to March 5 in Langley. After two years of finishing third overall at the Double-A provincials, the squad is eager to show that there’s no glass ceiling when it comes to St.Thomas More girls basketball. “(There’s) always pressure – they know what’s at stake.We’ve had discussions and they know everytime we play a top ranked team it could change the rankings,” said Thierman. “Now, I don’t (care) about rankings other than its very important on where you are seeded into the Lower Mainlands and the provincials, so in that way it means a lot.” Adversity has reared its head this year,
but the kind on the court that serves as motivation. Earlier this month at the B.C. Catholic championships, the Knights sailed into the final before crashing into Immaculata, ranked No. 1 in B.C.The end result, a 50-49 loss, demonstrates that its within their grasp. They applied that lesson at the Chancellor, with good results. “The Chancellor is our tournament, so I made sure and the team made sure we came out strong… We didn’t want what happened against Immaculata where we kind of slacked in the first half and pushed back from a 15-point deficit.We wanted to stay strong from the beginning and all the
way through and I think we did that.” Their journey included an 84-51 win over Abbotsford, where the Knights stormed out to a 21-5 lead and never looked back. Corrales Nelson counted 18 points and Nadine Stewart chipped in 15, while Grade 11 forward Anabela Chiu tallied 11. They also bested Lord Tweedsmuir 5835, holding off an impressive rally by the Surrey school – who pulled within a point early in the second half before STM went on a tear. Corrales Nelson scored 18 points and Laguerta netted 16. Picking up all-star honours at the Chancellor were Nikko Sahagun, Stephanie VonRiedemann and Laguerta.

Forget the Ides of March, the jinx of January can’t end soon enough for the Grandview Steelers. At one time challenging for first place in the Tom Shaw Conference, now the junior B hockey league team is fending off challengers of their own as their hold on second place looks shaky after two more losses. Grandview’s losing skid reached four games after Sunday’s disappoing 5-1 defeat at the hands of first-
place North Van at the Burnaby Winter Club. North Van scored the game’s first four goals before Timothy Chow buried one for the Steelers midway through the third period. Despite getting 30 shots on net, the squad only generated one goal. “It’s been a bit of a struggle of late,” said Grandview coach Aldo Bruno. “January has been an ugly month for us and I can’t wait for it to be over.” Falling well short of blaming Julius Caesar for creating it, Bruno
did summise that things have fallen apart recently through a variety of issues, including specialty teams. “Our biggest thing was defence, and up to two weeks ago we had the best defensive numbers in the league,” he noted. “Our penalty kill was very strong.” Sunday, North Van scored four powerplay goals, including three by Scott Munro. A day earlier, while no powerplay tallies were counted, Mission, who leads the Harold Brittain ConferContinued on page 40

SFU just short It was an epic comeback — in all but the end. The Simon Fraser University women’s basketball team erased a double-digit deficit over the final two minutes only to fall short in a 67-62 loss to Montana State University-Billings last Saturday. Trailing by as much as 15, the Clan came close to turning the tables in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference game. Burnaby native Alisha Roberts closed the gap to three points off a threepointer with 19 seconds
left. But Montana was put on the foul line and pushed SFU back. Roberts finished with a season-high 20 points, while Elisa Homer counted 18 in support. Both players sank four treys. Chipping in 12 points was Samantha Beauchamp. A big wrinkle was how Montana outrebounded SFU 44-32, including a 20-13 offensive differential. The Clan host Western Oregon on Saturday, Jan. 30 at 5:15 p.m. for the annual Pink Game, with funds raised going in support of breast cancer research.
Steelers in freefall
Continued from page 39 ence, sailed to a 4-1 decision. In January the Steelers are 3-6, with two of those wins coming in the first weekend of the new year. “Every team goes through it, but we kind of put ourselves in a hole and the only answer is to work our way out of it.” Bruno said the three new faces picked up earlier in the
month have worked hard to fit into the Steelers’ system, but the results are lacking. “The effort is there but we’re not getting the bounces. But we’re not working for those bounces, either.” The team has two more chances to end January on a good note, as Grandview visits Port Moody on Saturday, while Aldergrove pays a visit to the BWC on Sunday, with a 4 p.m. faceoff.
