What happened to the big election promise?

A BCA vow to supply more Burnaby childcare spaces is still in the feasibility study stage

By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A plan announced by city council and the school board during the 2014 municipal election to triple daycare spaces in Burnaby has yet to produce a completed feasibility study, and child-care advocates are not impressed.

“Child care needs to be a priority, both for the municipality and the school district because it’s a crisis for families,” Coalition of Child Care Advocates of B.C. spokesperson Sharon Gregson told the NOW. “It’s been more than a year now, and you would hope there would be more than a feasibility study.”

The plan – a partnership between the city and the school district – was to see the creation of up to 12 new child-care facilities and 500 new child-care spaces, starting in 2015.

The school district was to supply the land and the city was to pay for the placement of modular buildings to house the daycares.

Trustees and councillors – all Burnaby Citizens Association candidates in the election campaign – met at both city hall and the school board office for public announcements.

Coun. Colleen Jordan was quoted by one media outlet say-

Canada’s chief public

health officer, Dr. Greg Taylor has flagged the cluster of cases, according to the email, and the health agency’s outbreak management division was going over food questionnaires from some of the cases to decide whether a national committee should

be formed to look into the outbreak.

The chief public health officer had asked the public affairs branch to consider issuing a public health notice, according to the email.

The Public Health Agency confirmed Wednes-

Homeowners take their fight to property assessment office Burnaby Heights residents protest after huge increases in property values triggers concerns about potential tax hikes in the city

By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

It’s pretty much an inescapable issue if you live in MetroVancouver and want to buy a place for yourself.

The cost of owning a property continues to soar, and this week there was more proof of that with the latest numbers from the real estate industry.

According to the GreaterVancouver Real Estate Board, the benchmark price for detached properties in the region jumped by 27.9 per cent to $1,293,700 from January 2015 to January 2016.

The numbers were even more dramatic in Burnaby with the average single-family home in Burnaby East selling for $1.058 million in January 2016, which was a 36 per cent increase from the previous year.

In Burnaby North, the benchmark price for a home hit $1.3 million, which was a 30 per cent increase from January 2015, while in Burnaby South

you’ll need $1.345 million.

DarylWang owns a home in the Heights and was one of the homeowners on the high end of the scale affected by the ever-increasing market. His home’s assessment increased by 38 per cent in 2016, and he was one of a small group that rallied outside the B.C. Assessment office in Burnaby last week.

Wang’s biggest concern is the bill he’s going to get come property tax time, suggesting he could be looking at about a 20 per cent increase depending on where the mill rate is set.

The city is looking at about a 2.5 per cent tax increase for 2016, but that will be for homes at the assessment average increase in Burnaby.

The average increase for a typical single-family home in Burnaby is between 15 and 25 per cent.

Wang noted as a retiree on a pension, the potential tax increase will have an impact on his own bottom line.

“No, I’m not going to

give up my house, but I’m going to give up things in my retirement I kind of enjoy doing because we have to budget,” he told the NOW. Wang supports the city’s call to freeze this year’s assessments to 2015 levels, suggesting it would give

No, I’m not going to give up my house, but I’m going to give up things in my retirement I kind of enjoy doing

people time to come up with a plan to handle the increases in the future.

The issue also came up at city council this week.

Coun. Paul McDonell attended the rally at the assessment office. He said he’s worried about seniors on a fixed income who will lose their homeowner grants, suggesting they may have to sell their homes.

“They get to the point where they just can’t hold on anymore,” he said.

McDonell also sees it being unfair a home that sells on a block for hundreds of thousands of dollars more than the market causes everyone else’s property to rise even though they have no intention of selling.

He continued to call on the province to freeze assessments to 2015 levels.

According to the real estate board numbers, the average price of a single family home in both Burnaby North and South has gone up by 125 per cent in 10 years, while in Burnaby East the increase is 107 per cent.

Student charged with voyeurism

By Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

BCIT is reassuring students at its Burnaby campus that their “safety and well-being are very important” after it was discovered that one of its students had been arrested for voyeurism last year.

Tuesday night, BCIT president Kathy Kinloch sent a statement to all students at the school in response to an evening local news broadcast. In her statement, Kinloch reassured students that safety is a priority at the school and that the behaviour described in the newscast “is unacceptable.”

The behaviour stems from an investigation by local Mounties into allegations of a peeping tom lurking in men’s washrooms at the Burnaby campus. Staff at BCIT contacted Burnaby RCMP on Nov. 19, the day after the school learned of the alleged incident, and a safety plan was created in case the suspect returned to campus, Cpl. Daniela Panesar, spokesperson for the Burnaby RCMP, told the NOW. “He did come back to the school that day, and he was arrested,” Panesar said, confirming the suspect allegedly used a mirror and cell-

phone to record men in a washroom.

Following his arrest, the suspect was released on strict conditions, and police began an investigation into the allegations.While the investigation is ongoing, Panesar confirmed there are two victims at this time, however investigators believe there are likely others who haven’t come forward yet.

“It might be kind of embarrassing. Maybe some people don’t want to come forward, but we’re appealing to them to come forward, this is going to help our investigation as well,” she said.

There could even be people on the campus who don’t know they are victims, which is concerning, Panesar said.While nothing can be done if someone doesn’t know they are a victim, she said this is a good time to remind people to always be aware of their surroundings.

“I think it’s also an education for people, too, to be aware of this type of offence that could occur,” she added.

The suspect, Chieh-Sen Yang, has been charged with one count of secretly observing or recording nudity in a private place for an incident on Nov. 16.

City now THE PIPELINE

Quake would be disastrous BROKE calls on NEB to say no to Kinder Morgan expansion plan

By Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

Burnaby residents could “suffer extreme consequences” if a major earthquake were to hit the Kinder Morgan pipeline and tank farm, according to a group of local citizens against the pipeline expansion.

Burnaby Residents Opposing Kinder Morgan Expansion (BROKE) presented its final argument to the three-person National Energy Board panel last Thursday, at the Delta Burnaby Hotel and Conference Centre.

“A major earthquake in this region is not a remote possibility,” said BROKE’s lawyer Neil Chantler. “It’s not a question of if, but when.”

Chantler outlined the

group’s concerns about a quake and at one point referred to the pipeline system as “time bombs in a Burnaby neighbourhood.”

“This is the wrong location for a major pipeline,” he said.

Chantler was flanked by three local residents: Ruth Walmsley, Kathy Mezei and Mary Hatch. Hatch is a retired teacher whose home was sprayed with oil in the 2007 pipeline rupture – a story Chantler shared with the panel.

“Following this disaster, you probably understand why Burnaby residents are opposed to another pipeline,” Chantler said.

At one point, the lawyer asserted that Kinder Morgan is not a responsible corporate citizen, which drew applause from the mostly-empty hearing room.

SIGN LANGUAGE: Three protesters make their point as they rally outside Thursday’s NEB hearings in Burnaby . The public is not allowed into the hearing, although it is broadcast online. PHOTO JENNIFER MOREAU The NEB has restricted the hearing to media and intervenors only, so the general public can’t attend, but the sessions are broadcast online.

Chantler also put a motion forward asking the panel to let the general public

in, based on the open-court principle.The panel rejected the idea, while boos and chants of “let us in” were heard from outside the hotel.

While Chantler was presenting, 350.org and SumOfUs.org presented a pe-

tition to the NEB, calling on Prime Minster Justin Trudeau to reject the pipeline expansion.

In front of the hotel, about a dozen pipeline opponents listened to the proceedings over a loud speaker. One patron from the

hotel’s casino walked up to the group and handed over $1,000 in cash to help with BROKE’s fundraising efforts.The group is hoping to raise $10,000 to pay for half of the work Chantler has done for free so far.

City OK’s rezoning for two social housing unit projects

By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

Two much-needed new social housing developments are on the way for Burnaby.

Last month, city council approved the rezoning applications for 180 nonmarket housing units in the Edmonds and Southgate Village area to move to a public hearing.

According to the city, the proposed project would see the development of 90 units of new, non-market family housing, to be owned and operated by B.C. Housing, on the Southgate site being developed by Ledingham McAllister.

The existing Cedar Place low-rise, non-market multifamily development, first built in 1969, will also be redeveloped for 90 units of

new, non-market seniors housing on a portion of the property to be held by B.C. Housing.The balance of the property will be made available for market housing.

“As we were planning the new Southgate site, we realized that there was an exceptional opportunity both to add additional non-market housing and to replace older existing units with new ones,” said Mayor Der-

ek Corrigan. “Cedar Place residents will be able to move into new homes right across the street from where they now live, staying in the same neighbourhood, and enjoying the many benefits the new development will offer.”

The city noted overall, the proposal represents a total public investment in nonmarket housing of approximately $50 million.The

City’s proposed contribution is approximately $8.5 million through the density bonus program, and about $28.5 million in indirect funding through the value created by the proposed rezoning of the Cedar Place site.The provincial government’s investment is approximately $47 million.

“Having a safe and affordable place to call home makes a huge difference in

people’s lives,” said Rich Coleman, Minister of Natural Gas Development and Minister Responsible for Housing in a statement.

“Through this process, more families in Burnaby will now have a place to call home.”

No date has been set for the public hearing.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

City leaders can’t have it both ways We feel for Mayor Derek Corrigan, we really do.

He and his Burnaby Citizens Association colleagues, who fill up every spot on city council and school board, have a tough row to hoe.

They’re faced with a pile of problems, from fires at homeless camps to giant energy companies running roughshod over their park bylaws to push a pipeline through their backyard – and they’re not getting a lot

of help from anyone.

A homeless shelter?

Housing for Syrian refugees? We know housing isn’t a municipal responsibility.

Seismic upgrades to schools to keep kids safe from earthquakes? What can the school board do but wait on the province to pay for them?

The problem with local government is it’s local. Unlike the legislature and Parliament, city hall and the school board office are right

here, and the public can get at councillors and trustees like no other politicians – and ask for things, unreasonable things, things the city and school board aren’t responsible for and don’t have the money to do.

In our mind’s eye, Corrigan and his BCA colleagues are pictured in an endless shrug, with empty pockets turned out.

“What can we do?” they ask.Who can argue with that?

Once you’ve talked the talk … we say you can’t go back.

The problem is, the local ruling party is also well aware many of those issues outside its bailiwick matter a lot to the public, and, come election season, they’ve

been known to make some sweeping promises to go heroically above and beyond and step in where the province and federal government have failed.

They pledge to stand in front of bulldozers to stop pipelines, and they say they’re going to start tripling the city’s child-care spaces real soon.

Fine. But once you’ve talked the talk, once you’ve leveraged the public’s needs and concerns about issues

outside your jurisdiction to get elected, we say you can’t go back.

If you’ve promised to go above and beyond during election time, you’ve given up your right to the that’snot-a-municipal-responsibility get-out-of-jail-free card.

Put simply: put up or shut up.

MY VIEW DERMOD TRAVIS

Lobbying has murky depths Last month, lobbyists gathered in Vancouver for the Future of Lobbying, a one-day conference put on

by B.C.’s Office of the Registrar of Lobbyists, Simon Fraser Institute’s Governance Studies and Public Affairs Association of Canada (B.C. Chapter).

Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there does seem to be a future for the industry. In fact, if we’re not careful, B.C. could be overrun by lobbyists.

Last year, there were 2,502 in-house and consultant lobbyists registered in the province, up from 1,451 four years ago.Whoever said the B.C. Jobs Plan wasn’t working?

While others do get some attention – political staff, deputy ministers and the like – that works out to 30 lobbyists for every MLA. In Ottawa, there are 3,008 lobbyists or nine per MP. As one of 14 panelists at the Vancouver conference, it fell on me to provide a bit of insight on the public’s perspective towards the industry and a few ideas on how it might be improved.

First up: transparency.

Reporting only intent to lobby – as the legislation currently requires – isn’t good enough.The “if I’m really, really lucky the minister might open my email before he triple deletes it,” isn’t the best approach for reporting lobbying activities.

It’s meetings that count, and lobbyists should be required to report who they’ve met with as well.Those on

the other end of the bargain – MLAs, political staff, deputy ministers – should also disclose who is lobbying them. Good way to check to see if everyone’s reporting matches up.

Fees paid by clients should be disclosed, as is done in the United States.

A provincewide registry for municipal lobbyists is long over due. Contingency fee agreements need to be trashed, as is the case at the federal level today. Public agencies and local governments should be prohibited from hiring outside lobbyists.

In B.C., some universities, local governments, professional bodies such as the College of Dental Surgeons of B.C. and federal agencies like Via Rail and Port Metro Vancouver have all retained lobbyists in the past.

If there was an industry award for client development, it would have to go to Earnscliffe Strategy, who has represented Deloitte since 2013.The goal: to raise Deloitte’s profile and awareness about the services they bring to government.Who knew it needed raising? Never let it be said that having a higher profile doesn’t come with a price.

For someone. In 2010, Deloitte billed the B.C. government a little less than $20 million. By 2015, their billings had risen to more than $50 million.

Hope that wasn’t a contingency deal.

Dermod Travis is the executive director of Integrity B.C.

In October, the city’s community heritage commission proposed 37 official names for creeks in the Burnaby Lake, Deer Lake and Burrard Inlet watersheds.The new name proposed for BI-4, for example, was Squatter’s Creek, in honour of a community of Burrard Inlet foreshore squatters who used the creek as a water supply from 1912 to 1960.

Shelters do not solve homelessness crisis

Readers respond to Baldrey on the ‘nasty’ campaign ahead

Dear Editor I am in complete agreement with Mayor Corrigan. Homeless shelters do not solve the homeless issue, it in fact reinforces it.

People need affordable housing as permanent solutions which should include help for if they have mental health or addictions, and assistance finding employment.

Our current system of things isn’t working, obviously, otherwise there wouldn’t be people who are homeless.

All government agencies need to work together to ensure that no one is homeless and that everyone becomes productive members of society by any means necessary; example, any person to be allowed any career training of their choosing with full support of the government agencies by financial means.

Housing is important for everyone, and it is a fundamental human right for every human being.

The people in the homeless shelters worry about where they will be sleeping each day because they are booted out in the morning, usually most shelters are full and they don’t have a place to sleep except outside. That isn’t right.

People deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, regardless if they have mental health issues or addictions. No matter the cause of their issues and homelessness, they need solutions that encourage their selfrespect and dignity, not diminish it.

Monica Skinner, Burnaby

There’s no excuse for being ‘nasty’ in art Dear Editor Re: HarperCat art piece angers Burnaby readers, Burnaby NOW, Jan. 27.

I don’t see how the creator of the object in question can get off by saying, “It’s water under the bridge,” when it is currently in an art exhibition and on the front page of a newspaper.

Following that logic, so are the First and Second World Wars (I know, I know – apples and oranges) etc., etc.

An offence is still an offence, crimes are still crimes, bad taste is still bad taste, etc., and I’m so sorry our “freedoms” give us the right to be disgusting.

As I said earlier, I’m not in favour of many of the things done by the Harper government nor how they were done, but there’s no call for such a nasty depiction as this. I rest my case.

Sharon Hempell, Burnaby

Tories’ ads more distasteful than art Dear Editor The depiction of Stephen Harper as a predatory cat is pretty mild compared to the ads that the Conservatives posted in newspapers across Canada showing Justin Trudeau with a smoking joint and a heroin needle in front of a brothel.

The relentless national smear campaigns of the Conservatives are far more offensive and outrage-worthy than the picture of a satiric sculpture in a local art gallery.

Readers keep talking about HarperCat LouK This Harper Cat issue really got ridiculous. How can you be offended by a piece of ceramic. It wasn’t pornographic nor did it attack any religion.

It merely portrayed a cat with Steve’s face on it. Is it any more offensive than a bobble head of Steve on the dash of your car. The conservative election loss seems to have severely effected the sensitivities of this group. It’s really tough when you start to become reacquainted with your feelings, after so long. However, this episode may help them come to an understanding of how others felt under their somewhat insensitive rule. A little cognitive therapy would go a long way to help them.

Harper bad for Canada, says writer bill smith Wow.... what a load of bunk.... never mind waiting 4 years to know... legal pot first on the agenda.. a lie, 25 thousand refugees in 2015, a lie,,, revised to 10,000 refugees in 2015, a lie, revenue neutral tax, a lie, 10 billion deficit, a lie, 150,000,000 for CBC, in the process of becoming a lie, a new oil review regime, a lie, “immediately” withdrawing our fighters from Syria, a lie... and on and on and on.

Creating Beautiful Smiles

THE DOCTOR’S OF OCEAN DENTAL WILL TAKE GREAT CARE OF YOU!

What is listeria? Here’s what you should know Listeria is a type of bacteria found in food, soil, plants, sewage and other places in nature, and eating food with Listeria on it can cause a serious disease, called listeriosis.

Foods contaminated with listeria may look, smell and taste normal. Unlike most bacteria, it can survive and sometimes grow on refrigerated foods but can be killed by cooking food properly.

Those at highest risk of serious illness include preg-

nant women and unborn or newborn children, adults 65 and over, and people with weakened immune systems.

High-risk food items include raw meat and vegetables, unpasteurized milk and cheeses, ready-to-eat meats such as hot dogs and deli meats, and refrigerated smoked seafood and fish.

The mild symptoms of listeriosis include fever, muscle aches, nausea or diarrhea.

Severe symptoms include headaches, confusion, loss of

balance and neck stiffness.

The mild form usually begins about three days after eating heavily contaminated food. The incubation period for the more serious form is usually much longer—up to 70 days after exposure.

Listeriosis can be treated with antibiotics, but early diagnosis is key, especially for people in high-risk groups.

Listeria under review Continued from page 1 but no “specific source” had been identified.

The agency has also flagged another cluster of listeria cases, including one death, that could be related to the five cases.

Reported in the same provinces between July 2015 and January 2016, they “have a similar genetic fingerprint to the other five cases,” according to an agency email statement.

“If the ongoing review identifies common food items or other cases of illness that are determined to be related to each other, then the agency will activate a national outbreak investigation coordinating committee (OICC) in accordance with the foodborne illness outbreak response protocol to further investigate the source of these illnesses,” the agency email states.

Similar or even matching (PFGE) patterns don’t necessarily mean the cases share a common source, accord-

ing to SFU molecular biology and biochemistry professor Fiona Brinkman, whose Burnaby Mountain lab is developing computer tools to better study and track outbreaks.

She calls the PFGE technique a “simple test” that only looks at chunks of a

“It’s implying that portions of the DNA are similar,” she told the NOW. “It is a fingerprint, but it’s not a high-resolution fingerprint.”

That leaves public health officials in the tough spot, she said.

“The biggest challenge with outbreaks is, when do you have an outbreak that you really need to commu-

nicate to the public that this is something to care about,” she said.

Agencies could go public with outbreaks more quickly, she said, if they had an integrated, efficient way to compare the whole genome, or complete DNA, of the microbes infecting different people – something she and her team are working on with their IRIDA (integrated rapid infectious disease analysis) project.

“This is exactly why we’re doing this research,” Brinkman said. “We’re trying to come up with this better computation tool that the minute these isolates come out that they get genomically sequenced and we’d basically be able to flag them very accurately very quickly and be able to say, ‘Oh, these are absolutely a match, so there’s definitely something going on here.’”

Two charged in 2008 death of Burnaby man Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

Nearly eight years ago, a Burnaby man was gunned down while behind the wheel of a car connected to one of the Bacon brothers – and last month Mounties announced three suspects were facing charges for their role in the killing.

Jonathan Barber installed electronics for extra cash on the side, and on May 9, 2008 around 10 p.m., he and his girlfriend had just picked up a Porsche for an installation job when someone in another car shot at

them.

Barber, who was driving the Porsche, died at the scene. His girlfriend, who’d been following behind in an SUV, was hit in the arm and required extensive surgery.

“Jonathan Barber is not in any way connected to organized crime,” said Cpl. Dale Carr, spokesperson for the homicide investigation team, at a press conference in 2009. “One of the strongest messages that we want to get out was that Jonathan’s association with organized crime was very simple.”

The Porsche that Barber

We ... are united and are committed in our fight against gang violence.

had been driving was, however, connected to organized crime – the notorious Bacon brothers.

According to police, the brothers and their associates, the Red Scorpions, were embroiled in a gang

war between 2008 and 2009 with members of the UN gang, and Barber had been a victim of bad luck.

Investigators with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team announced late last month that they had arrested three people believed to be connected to Barber’s murder and the attempted murder of his girlfriend; the murder of Kevin LeClair in Langley; and the attempted

murder of two others.

Charged are 32-year-old Troy Tran of Vancouver and an unnamed 31-year-old man. Both are charged with conspiracy to commit murder and are believed to be part of the UN gang.

“It is important for both the public and those who wish to spread violence through gang activity, to know that we along with all our law enforce-

ment partners are united and are committed in our fight against gang violence,” Chief Supt. Kevin Hackett of B.C.’s gang police said in a press release. “Many years may pass from when crimes were committed, but we will continue to be persistent and determined to remove the most prolific and violent gangsters from our streets.”

Tran is scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 9.

Upstream – not downstream In the Jan. 29 2016 issue of the Burnaby NOW, a page 3 story titled ‘Feds will extend Burnaby pipeline re-

view,’ we wrote that the government was planning to consider downstream greenhouse gas emissions, when

it’s actually upstream, at the point of extraction. Apologies for the error.

Police search for suspect in sexual assault Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

An alleged sexual assault near the Holdom SkyTrain station last week has Burnaby RCMP turning to the

public for help.

A woman was walking home near Springer Avenue and Braelawn Drive at about 10:30 p.m. last Friday, when she was approached by a man from

behind. Investigators say the suspect, unknown to the victim, restrained her arms and groped her.Then, he allegedly hit her and fled south on Springer before turning east on Broadway,

noted a press release from Burnaby RCMP. Mounties are hoping to speak with anyone who may have witnessed the attack or who has information on the suspect. Police

say the suspect is about fivefoot-six-inches with a slim build. At the time of the alleged assault, he was wearing a black hoodie with the hood up and track pants that tapered at the bottom

of the leg.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Burnaby RCMP investigative support team at 604-294-7922 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS.

Child care issue ‘more complicated’ than anticipated Continued from page 1 according to Mayor Derek Corrigan, because the agreement announced at the height of the election campaign turned out to be a lot more complicated than councillors and trustees anticipated.

“It’s not overwhelming,” Corrigan said, “but it’s more complicated than we thought it was.”

Regulations around different kinds of child care (babies, toddlers and afterschool care), differences in priorities between the district and the city (the district is pushing for afterschool care while the city’s focus is toddler daycare),

and the feasibility of the sites recommended by the district are among the challenges that have come to light since the agreement was signed, according to Corrigan.

The facilities are likely also going to be more expensive than first anticipated, he said.

Despite owning five child-care facilities, the city doesn’t actually have much experience building daycares, Corrigan said, because the city has generally contracted developers to build them as part of their developments and then turn them over to the city.

He said the city and dis-

trict forged their agreement as a faster and less expensive way to meet the city’s child-care needs.

“I know that, most certainly, the kind of structures that we’re looking at are much easier and quicker to build than waiting for development and trying to encompass it in development,” he said.

The mayor didn’t have a new timeline for when parents could expect shovels to be in the ground on the first project, but he took exception to Gregson’s criticism that more should have been done by now.

“I think Ms. Gregson is well aware that daycare is

not the responsibility of either the school boards or local government and that we’re taking this on to try to

We’re taking this on to try to help these families who do need daycare in our community.

help these families who do need daycare in our community,” he said. “I don’t

think that it’s helpful to be criticizing the organizations that are stepping beyond their duties to try to assist.”

Gregson said she had no wish to get into a “war of words” with Burnaby’s mayor and agreed municipalities have no hope of solving the child-care crisis without a provincial plan and federal dollars, but she added some municipal councils, like Vancouver’s, set specific targets around increasing childcare spaces each term.

Burnaby’s current mayor and council have no such term targets.

“When we have a mayor and council and school

board like we do in Burnaby, who we know conceptually are very supportive of child care and don’t have the resources to do everything, we want to be encouraging while still holding them accountable,” Gregson said.

“Knowing that the mayor and council, in the election and now still, see childcare as a priority, we look forward to timelines and benchmarks that will actually get spaces into the hands of families.”

A bit of Burnaby history up for auction Saturday Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

A rare piece of history with Burnaby connections is up for auction this weekend.

In 1862, Robert Burnaby, the city’s namesake, penned a note to transfer his shares in a company to another person.That scrap of paper, dated June 3, 1862, is up for auction this weekend.

“I think it’s fantastic,” said Brian Grant Duff, owner of All Nations Stamp and Coin. “I think it’s one of the highlights of the collection. Robert Burnaby is a little-known person in British Columbia history.

No one knows much about Robert Burnaby, but he has 10 places named after him.

It’s an opportunity to learn more about Robert Burnaby and own a piece of B.C. history.”

Burnaby briefly worked as the private secretary of Col. Moody, head of the

Robert Burnaby is a little-known person in British Columbia history.

Royal Engineers, early colonizers that settled the area.

Burnaby had come to B.C. from England, where he worked as a civil servant.

Burnaby’s letter is from the collection of Gerald Wellburn, a well-known collector of historic ephemera who died in the 1990s.

According to Grant Duff, it’s the only known letter from Burnaby, and he estimates piece will go for at least a couple of hundred dollars, if not more.

“It’s the first time it’s ever been up for auction,” he said.

Since Grant Duff is owner of the auction company selling the piece, he can’t say who owns the letter.

The auction will be live in the shop on Dunbar Street in Vancouver, or online at www.allnationsstampandcoin.com.The auction is on Saturday, Feb. 6 at noon.

YEAR OF THE MONKEY!

The monkey is the ninth in the 12-year cycle of Chinese zodiac. The years of the monkey include 1920, 1932, 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004 and 2016.

And although they have enviable skills, they s"ll have several shortcomings, such as an impetuous temper and a tendency to look down upon others.

It is celebrated around the world in countries and regions that have significant Chinese populations. The year 2016 is the Year of the Monkey. If you were born in 1920, 1932, 1944, 1956,

a monkey,” said Joey Kwan, spokeswoman for Aberdeen Centre, site of the largest Chinese New Year celebra"ons in Metro Vancouver.

This year, since the countdown to new year is on a Sunday (Feb. 7) and it falls before the Family Day holiday on Feb. 8, Kwan said the event may draw a shade more than the 5,000 or so that cram into the main atrium area of the mall to celebrate and watch the seconds "ck down to the new year on a big clock.

If you happen to be born in the year of the monkey, you are certainly in good company as notable people sharing your birth year include: inventor Leonardo da Vinci, writer Charles Dickens and roman"c poet George Gordon Byron.

Entertainers Celine Dion, Tom Hanks, Will Smith and Diana Ross are also monkeys. So are Canucks’ stars Daniel and Henrik Sedin.

Happy Chinese New Year!

GUNG HAY FAT CHOY: Crowds packed Brentwood Town Centre on Saturday afternoon as the mall ushered in the Lunar New Year, which officially arrives on Feb. 8. Festivities included an Awakening of the Dragons ceremony, with Lion Dancers and a drum show. The shopping centre also helped welcome the Year of the Monkey with a variety of free family entertainment and activities, including Chinese calligraphers, balloon artists, traditional dough and origami artists and a blessing of the merchants ceremony.

Interested in helping plant eco-sculptures this spring?

What inspires you to live life to the fullest?

DavidicusWong HEALTHWISE

editorial@burnabynow.com

To make the most of this life, we must make the most of each day.

What inspires you to rise out of bed each morning, do what needs to be done, pursue your goals and give the extra effort that makes a difference?

What gets you through the in-between times with a mountain range of challenges between you and your destination?

From an early age, I was hooked on reading.

By Grade 6, I had finished reading the World Book Encyclopedia and spent hours each week at the McGill library branch in North Burnaby. Like my mom, each week, I would borrow my limit of books.

I was inspired by Norman Vincent Peale’s The Power of Positive Thinking, Dale Carnegie’s How toWin Friends and Influence people and James Allen’s As a Man Thinketh. I learned much

more from countless books, and my eyes opened to an expanding horizon of possibilities.

So enriched and moved by the writing of others, I imagined how wonderful it would be to help and inspire others with my own words some day.

For 10 days in Grade 6, I had a flare-up of rheumatoid arthritis with rashes, fevers and painful joints.

On Burnaby Hospital’s pediatric ward, I was cared for by my doctors and nurses who weren’t treating a disease but rather me as a whole person. I trusted them to do their best for me, and it was then that I decided to be a physician – to give forward the care that I had been given and to care for others when they are most in need.

An inspiration can get us started on a path, but what keeps us going?

We can be most inspired by those we serve.When I became a parent, the awesome responsibility of caring for a helpless baby, loving

unconditionally and nurturing each of my children to their greatest potential was the greatest of callings.

I had to rise to this responsibility and strive to be my best, to give my best.

My children have made me a better person.

As a physician, I developed my golden rule of medicine: treat every patient with the same degree of care and consideration I would want for a best friend or family member. For any of my patients, I refer to the same colleagues and order the same tests in the same time frame that I would want for those in my personal life.

The needs of my patients have inspired me to be a better physician. I am inspired and supported by a few of my colleagues, including my classmate Dr. John Law, who, like me, commit to continuous quality improvement in their clinical skills and looking outside of the box, learn advanced techniques to meet the needs of our patients.

What inspires you: Dr. Davidicus Wong is the featured speaker for Celebrate Inspiration Day, on Saturday, Feb. 6, from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Century House in New Westminster. PHOTO FILE

The most inspiring physicians learn from one another and from their patients.

In your personal life, whom do you serve? Look both inside and out of your own home, community and workplace. If there is a need, can you rise to meet it?

Each day presents us with infinite opportunities to make a difference, big or

small – to lift up the hearts of a few people and to live a meaningful life.

Celebrate Inspiration Day from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 6 at Century House at 620 Eighth St. in New Westminster.

I’ll be there to enjoy the entertainment of the Century House Singers and comedians and give the

Communitynow Some tips on building your own knife collection Chef Dez

ON COOKING editorial@burnabynow.com

I have always said that one of my favourite things about being a chef is that I get to play with knives.

Knife skills and proper/ safe cutting practices are a very serious subject in the kitchen.With some basic knowledge, you can start to

overcome any cutting intimidation you may have.

There are many choices when trying to decide on which knives will adorn the collection of cutting tools in your kitchen. First and foremost, I have to stress that one usually gets what they pay for. Before you reach for your credit card when you see the full collection of ginsu knives for only $19.99 on TV, think about it real-

istically. How well are these knives manufactured?

If you are looking to start a good quality knife collection, you should purchase knives made from high-carbon stainless steel.

The high-carbon content in stainless steel is what ensures the steel is strong.This is very important for keeping a sharp edge. Any knife can be made from stainless steel, but unless it is has a

high-carbon content as well, it will lose its sharpness very quickly in comparison.

Start with a standard “Chef's” knife. Other than for bread cutting, this is the most versatile knife one can have in the kitchen, and it can be used for almost any application. It offers a rounded top edge of the blade that facilitates a rocking motion to ease most cutting/slicing preparations.

The next knife one should purchase is a good quality serrated knife for bread cutting.The serrated edge will not only produce perfect slices of bread without squashing the bread; it also brings relief to producing extremely thin cuts of fruits and vegetables.

One should also purchase a paring knife, because a chef's knife might be overkill for those small jobs.

From this point on, you can add other knives such as a carving knife, filet knife, cleaver, vegetable knife, etc.

Most importantly, ask questions and handle the knives to ensure they offer a comfortable companionship with your unique hand.

If a retail store is not informative about their products, and will not allow you to handle them, then take your business to one that will.

He says the pine grosbeaks come to the mountain to eat the cherry blossoms.

Days gone by Thank you to Lawrence Makaseff for sending the above

photo of an old farm building on 12th Avenue in Riverside neighbourhood.

Makaseff says this is one of a few original farm buildings remaining in South Burnaby. “I believe there are only less than half a dozen left,” he wrote in an email. “It is nice to see them still standing among the newer buildings.” At left, Paul Cipywnyk sent us this ‘ghostly’ fog photo he shot a couple weeks ago at Ron McLean Park in southeast Burnaby.

In the epicenter of this new to become one of the most iconic condominium projects ever seen – Concord Pacific’s The ARC. “This is the most central gateway to Downtown Vancouver. The ARC’s strikingly unique architectural façade will be the landmark of the neighbourhood at the northern foot of the Cambie Bridge,” says Grant Murray, Vice-President, Sales of Concord Pacific.

“Concord Pacific has a reputation for placing special emphasis on creating

an environment where residents have a sense of community.”

Designed by Francl Architecture, The ARC feature two unique tower forms, 29 storeys high-bridged by a massive span beginning at the 19 floor.

Concord Pacific’s bold design on the exterior is matched by intelligently planned extended view suites. The ARC homes, r anging from 496 to 1,350 square feet, will embrace classic beauty and elegance with modern amenities.

The ARC will feature 560 one-, twoand three-bedroom homes with quality finishes that rival pricier residences – extra thick windows to block out downtown noise, a Miele stainless steel appliance package, marble flooring in the bathrooms and a flex wall for expansive entertainment space.

Homes will also feature unique elements, such as an Al Fresco deck doors, blurring the line between indoors and outdoors, (in the majority of suites), a flex wall that transforms the bedroom and opens

up more space for a living room, a queen size bed that converts into a couch complete with built-in cabinetry, and an outdoor patio deck that will take in spectacular city, mountain and ocean views.

Then there are the private country club resort-style amenities elevated to the 20th floor with glass bottom indoor swimming pool and a Sky lounge complete with catering kitchen, outdoor patio deck and a state-of-the-art fitness facility.

The pool is an engineering to wow residents and visitors to the City alike he says.

Besides the pool and Sky lounge, The ARC will be the first tower in North America to feature 100 percent electric charge parking stalls with Touchless Auto Carwash facilities.

On the second level we will have a Cappuccino Lounge and rooftop garden with a child’s play area,” he says. “In addition, the lobbies are inspired by

hotels, with full time concierge. The list of incredible amenities just goes on and on,” adds Murray.

With prices starting in the low $400,000 range, these functional condos are attracting everyone from the urban yuppies to young professional families right up to seniors. The ARC is in the middle of a community near Yaletown Marinaside with expansive views of the downtown skyline, North Shore Mountains and the ocean.

The Concord’s Arc is set to help define the next era of Vancouverism.

“We are accepting registrations online now and the public preview begins in early February,” adds Murray. “This isa wonderful opportunity for prospective buyers to see how gorgeous these suites are.”

Witch-hazel one of several ‘eye-catching’ trees Anne Marrison GREEN SCENE

editorial@burnabynow.com

Long before spring arrives, a joyful number of shrubs and trees start flowering when temperatures rise even a little. Aside from bright blooms, many are also richly fragrant and have a very long blooming period.

One of these is Viburnum bodnantense.This has clusters of small buds, which open a few pink flowers even before Christmas.

The buds close tight in cold spells but unfold into heads of perfumed flowers in every mild period.

This is nice when grown within sight of a window.

It’s not a space-hog because its early growth tends to be vertical. Later the tops of the older branches do reach out a little. But it’s easy to control by pruning and removing one old stem at ground level every year or two.This triggers new stems to grow and replace them.

One of the most eyecatching trees in early spring is the witch-hazel.Two su-

premely fragrant yellowflowered ones are the varieties Arnold’s Promise and Pallida. Any one of these can perfume a whole yard.

But it’s important to know that not all yellow-flowered witch-hazels are fragrant.

The orange-flowering witch-hazel Jelena and the copper-red type Diane are both non-fragrant but very beautiful. Besides red flowers, Diane also offers copper-red leaves in fall. Eventually, all these witch-hazels grow slowly into large trees.

Witch-hazels are immune to the eastern filbert blight, but they do have a totally different failing – a tendency to produce suckers.

This happens because all ornamental witch-hazels are grafted on a medicinal type witch-hazel that produces tiny flowers in fall. Cutting witch-hazel branches tends to trigger shoots from this rootstock.

Another beautiful January-flowering shrub is Camellia sasanqua. It’s evergreen and hardy to our climate although it prefers a sheltered spot and winter mulching. Flowers are mainly single in varieties

All three of these trees can be grown in large containers, though keeping them dwarf enough to fit means periodically removing them from the pot and root-pruning plus top pruning.

It’s hugely drought-resistant and grows easily from its bright red, poisonous berries, though you have to be quick to get them before

wildlife does.

This daphne can fit well into a container for many years, but it’s best if its first container is also its last.

That’s because being moved often kills daphnes.

There’s usually a good reason why a plant is popular. Heathers give a great deal while demanding very little care.They like good drainage and acidic soil while needing little nutrition. In summer, they are extremely drought-resistant.

The winter-flowering

heathers bloom in pink or white, and flowers persist for many months. In order to keep looking compact, the plants need to be given an all-over haircut once the flowers have faded.

In containers, heather makes a good weed-suppressing ground-cover for taller shrubs. Because it’s evergreen, it has a yearround presence.

Burnaby to host rowing regatta Nationals return to Burnaby Lake for four-year stint Dan Olson

Lakers deal to fill netminding void

Burnaby to continue working to find the perfect complement to goalie connundrum Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

One piece to the puzzle is in, but the final solution to the Burnaby Lakers’ goaltending dilemma could take a few more months to firm up.

The Western Lacrosse Association club picked up veteran netminder Zak Boychuk last week in preparation for next week’s Junior Draft, with a swap with the Nanaimo Timbermen. Burnaby gained Boychuk in exchange for a third and fourth round pick in the 2018 WLA draft. “(Boychuk) was drafted and had a good junior career in Nanaimo,” remarked Lakers general manager Paul Rowbotham. “It’s been sort of up-and-down for him due to the situation in Nanaimo and we think a change of scenery will allow him to enjoy some success.”

Boychuk, who turned 27 earlier this week, played in 14 games with the last place T-men last season and posted a career-best .799 save percentage and a 9.78 goals against average. It was the first time he secured a lower-than-10 goals-against mark while toiling for a club that finished dead-last the past three years, and secondto-last in 2012.

Burnaby’s netminding situation has been under construction ever since veteran Tyler Rich-

ards retired weeks before the start of the 2015 WLA season due to multiple concussions. Richards had anchored the crease in both the WLA and National Lacrosse League for the past seven seasons.

Last year’s solution may not be available this time around. Burnaby acquired Tye Belanger from the Ontario Major League’s Brampton Excelsiors prior to the start of the 2015 season, on a one-year agreement between the two clubs.

Rowbotham said that while there is a chance Belanger could return, it depends upon a number of factors, most outside the Lakers’ hands.

“We’ve talked to (Belanger) a couple of times but he’s right in the middle of the NLL lacrosse in New England,” he noted. “The other matter is, he could be quite willing to come back but we don’t know what (Brampton) has in their plans.”

Belanger, named to the circuit’s second all-star team, was among the top netminders in most categories, including wins, with eight, a 7.85 goals-against average and .804 save percentage.

The 5-foot-9, 200-pound Boychuk posted fairly consistent numbers over the past four years in Nanaimo.

In 2014, he made 17 starts with a save percentage of .778 while leading the league in minutes played at 1,037. In 2013 he ap-

peared in all 18 games with a save percentage of .786.

Boychuk stood down .785 of the shots during the 2012 season, his sophomore season, while sharing the goalkeeping duties with Matt King. As a rookie in 2011, he played in 10 games and finished with a .712 save percentage.

“Goaltenders can be hot as a firecracker one year, then cold the next,” said Rowbotham. “We’re

still talking, we have to, because you can never have too many goalies.”

Rowbotham said as training camps ramp up, other teams will have an indication whether they want to move any of their players.

In the meantime, draft preparations continue for the Lakers, who earlier secured the first-overall pick from Nanaimo for the Feb. 10 WLA draft in Vancouver.

Picking lefthander Josh Byrne may be counter-intuitive, suggested the Burnaby GM, after the club also added portside sniper Eli McLaughlin in the same deal.

“To be perfectly honest, whether you are New West, Burnaby or Maple Ridge you are looking at filling a particular hole,” said Rowbotham. “Last year we lost (righthanded Tyler) Digby when he moved to Pittsburgh… In our situation we’re not weak for personnel, but suffering from a lack of strength on one side.”

He conceded the inter-office discussion will continue this week, and said the club has contacted those they’ve designated as the top players available.

Rowbotham feels the draft is seven deep, going beyond the rumoured top-four of Byrne, righthanded James Rahe and Coquitlam transition runners Mike Messenger and Challen Rogers.

Both Byrne and Rahe are considered offensive gamebreakers, while Messenger and Rogers are transition players with upside on both sides of the ball.

New Westminster also moved up and hold the second overall pick after a swap with Coquitlam.

Last week the ‘Bellies added a second first-round selection, sending Luke Gillespie and their 2017 first round pick to Maple Ridge, for the fourth pick overall next week.

“With the third pick overall, we were going to get a very good player,” he admitted. “But it wasn’t going to be our choice.

(The December trade) gives us the choice.”

Burnaby Lake will be the hot spot for national rowing next September, as it begins a three-year sting as host of Rowing Canada Aviron national championships.

Rowing Canada Aviron made the announcement Wednesday, awarding the nationals and Canada Cup Regatta to B.C., with Burnaby Lake playing host.This year’s nationals run Sept. 22 to 24, followed by the Canada Cup on Sept. 25.

Peter Jackson, president of Rowing BC, described this as an opportunity to engage the provincial rowing community in a way that will not only benefit B.C. participants, but those from all over Canada.

“As a result of hosting over 30 regattas a year in B.C., our volunteers and officials have refined skills that enable them to deliver exceptional competitive experiences for athletes,” said Jackson. “Bringing together the volunteers from across the province will ensure we have the expertise required to host an outstanding (national rowing championships-Canada Cup Regatta); this will also strengthen the rowing community in B.C., an initiative we feel strongly about.”

It’s not just a one-year opportunity, either.The agreement runs until 2019, with Burnaby Lake the site each year.

Rowing BC submitted a comprehensive bid package for the multi-year event that focused on a seamless athlete experience and committed an enthusiastic volunteer base at a premier racing venue.

Burnaby Lake has re-established itself as one of Canada’s top venues since it was restored to international standards in 2011.

The course provides ideal racing conditions with calm waters and minimal wind that are enjoyed by many rowers, including those who raced at the 2014 Canadian Masters Championship regatta.

“We are thrilled that Burnaby has been selected to host the 20162019 National Rowing Championships and Canada Cup,” said Jennifer Scott, Sport Burnaby’s senior manager.

“Burnaby has a proud history of hosting world-class national and international events, and hosting this event for the next four years is a natural progression in our vision to be a preeminent sport destination.”

Burnaby curler brings it home Dan Olson

Laying it down: Burnaby native Daniel Wenzek prepares to throw a rock during last week’s Canadian junior men’s curling championships in Stratford, Ont. PHOTO CURLING CANADA/MICHAEL BURNS

It’s often said the real reward comes through the journey, not the prize at the end.

Burnaby’s Daniel Wenzek can attest to that.

The 21-year-old Douglas College student will cap his junior curling career next week at the provincial men’s championships in Nelson, where he will skip Team Tardi of the Royal City and Langley curling clubs.

Among the awards this year were a provincial junior title and last week’s bronze medal from the Canadian junior men’s championships, held in Stratford, Ont. “It’s been great.This is a great bunch of guys to play with and in my first year (with them) I couldn’t ask for more,” he said. “The adjustment mostly has been getting use to their system, getting use to the routine,

Gagner, Schiebler get hall call

The University of B.C. Sports Hall of Fame is ushering in a new slate of elite alumni, including Burnaby’s Jordan Gagner and New Westminster’s Jeff Schiebler.

Gagner went from St.Thomas More’s high school program to Point Grey in 1984, becoming the first UBC Thunderbirds player to win the Hec Crighton Award as Canadian university football’s Most Outstanding Player in 1987.

A quarterback, Gagner led the T-birds to a 1986 Vanier Cup title. He still holds four

UBC records for career passing, including yards passing.

Schiebler, a New Westminster native, posted stellar middle and long distance running marks, including Canadian records in the 3,000-, 5,000- and 10,000-metres events. Schiebler would go on to represent Canada at the 1996 and 2000 Olympics.

The 2016 induction class also includes UBC women’s basketball career scoring leader Erica McGuinness, and the 1971-72 men’s basketball team.

but I think we did okay.”

That’s an understatement.

Playing third with 17-year-old skip Tyler Tardi, second Jordan Tardi and lead Nick Meister,Wenzek enjoyed his second run to a national junior tournament -- having achieved the same, with silver the end result, for New Brunswick in 2014.

That year he was a firstyear student at the University of New Brunswick.

This time out, as it was then, Manitoba got the upperhand, bumping the B.C. rink 8-3 in the semifinal.

In the final round-robin game, the two teams clashed in what became a 5-4 extra ends win for Matt Dunstone’s prairie team.

“We had taken them to extra ends (in the round robin) and got an early jump (in the semifinal) by stealing a point in the first end,” recalled Wenzek.

“That was a boost of confidence but we couldn’t keep it going.”

Manitoba tied it in the second, B.C. again replied with a point and 2-1 advan-

tage after three ends, but Dustone corralled the momentum with two in the fourth and another two over the next two ends.

“With (Dunstone’s) terrific hitting, anytime you left them a double to hit, they hit it,” remarked coach Paul Tardi.

Manitoba finished the semifinal by shooting an incredible 91 per cent, while the Tardi rink posted a steady 77 per cent.

“This was probably the strongest teams they had (at the junior men’s championships),”Wenzek noted. “I knew what the environment and conditions were like and we talked about how to handle our emotions… This was just a great season, we had a good team and everyone got along.”

The B.C. rink finished the round robin with a 7-3 record.

The three other members of the team all hail south of the Fraser River and have a few more years of junior eligibility. As the eldest player, Wenzek brought a different level of experience and ma-

turity to the team, said Paul Tardi.

“We were very fortunate to pick up Daniel,” said the coach. “He brings a lot of maturity and a calm, settled manner that helped when it came to calling the big shots.”

A Royal City Curling Club member,Wenzek will now slide into the roll as skip for next week’s championships, as Tyler Tardi heads to Lillehammer, Norway to compete for Canada in mixed curling at theYouth Olympics.

On the prize front,Wenzek joined Team B.C. girls’ Dezaray Hawes in picking up a FairPlay award for their efforts at the national tournament.

The B.C. champion Sarah Daniels rink went on to capture silver at the Canadian junior women’s curling championships, also held in Stratford.

Daniels’ rink, rooted at the Royal City Curling Club, also features third Marika Van Osch, Hawes at second, lead Megan Daniels and coach Katie Witt.
