PLANS INCLUDE 32-STOREY APARTMENT TOWER

Old warehouse site up for massive changes

By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

For years, it operated as a distribution warehouse for grocery giant Safeway.

But after sitting empty since 2011, the Southgate property in Edmonds is poised to help revitalize the

neighbourhood.

On Monday, three residential developments for the site were given the go-ahead by city council to move to a public hearing, scheduled for April 26.

One rezoning application for a portion of 7679 and 7701 18th St. is for a

32-storey apartment tower with a low-rise component fronting Southgate Boulevard, a new road.

The tower will have a total of 351 units, while the low-rise development will include 63 units.

A second development on a portion of 7201 11th Ave.

is for a non-market low rise development with a total of 90 units.

The application is intended to be the first non-market development within the Southgate neighbourhood, and will replace the existing 90 units at the adjacent Cedar Place development lo-

Soft-hearted trucker rescues ‘roadkill’ kitty “I said,‘Ladies, we can worry about paperwork later.This animal has a chance.’ Let’s go!”

By Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

It’s not very often you find your next pet left for dead on the side of the road, but that’s exactly what happened to Dennis McDonald.

The burly truck driver was passing through Burnaby in the middle of a thunderstorm on March 10, when he nearly ran over a dead cat.

“I looked over in the passenger mirrors, and it was weird,” said McDonald. He sensed there was still life in the little fur ball. “I said, ‘That cat’s still alive!’ It hit me like lightning.”

McDonald turned his truck around, pulled over and got out.

“I got down on my knees, and he kind of backed into my haunches, and he was a mess,” McDonald said. “I saw a cat with his face hanging on the other side of his face with his tongue sticking out. He couldn’t even hold himself up. It was one of the worst things I’ve seen.”

POLICE

Personal safety seminar set

By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

Burnaby Mounties are encouraging anyone who wants to learn more about personal safety to attend an upcoming presentation on the issue, in light of a spate of sexual assaults in the community.

The RCMP will be holding a personal safety seminar on Wednesday, March 30 at Burnaby Mountain Secondary, 8800 Eastlake Dr. The free seminar, which will be led by Burnaby’s crime prevention unit, will cover the basic principles of personal safety, including safety tips, recognizing signs of danger and knowing what to do in a compromising situation.

RCMP Cpl. Daniela Panesar noted the unit offers information seminars on a regular basis, but the recent sexual assaults in North Burnaby makes the event timely.

“Personal safety has always been an important issue, and I think everyone should play a role in their own personal safety, for people to become educated on these things we’ll be covering,” she told the NOW. While the sex assaults were a factor in holding the event, she said the seminar won’t be a discussion about

the recent cases.

Burnaby RCMP have been investigating five sexual assaults since the end of January, the last one happening on March 6 along the Burnaby Mountain Urban Trail.

The five assaults since Jan. 29 also prompted local Mounties to create a sexual assault task force to investigate the crimes.

RCMP have stated it’s too early to say if the incidents are linked; however, some of them have similar characteristics and for that reason police noted all five are being investigated by the task force in order to enhance the investigation.

Three of the incidents occurred at night near Holdom, while two occurred in daylight along the Burnaby Mountain Urban Trail. All the victims in the incidents were young woman.

Panesar said the seminar isn’t the first, and won’t be the last on the topic.

“I think this is something we’re going to continue to educate people on, is personal safety because it is an important issue,” she said.

The presentation is set for 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the school’s multi-purpose room.The session is free, but people are being asked to RSVP the crime prevention unit at 604-294-7859 or crimeprevention@burn aby.ca.

Two men charged in strip mall shooting It was a brazen daylight shooting at a busy Burnaby mall that shocked onlookers. Now, the two men police believe responsible for the crime have been charged.

On Tuesday, Burnaby RCMP announced charges against Brandon Vuong Nguyen, 21, of Burnaby and Ba Huy Tran, 21, of Surrey.

The two men face charges of robbery and multiple weapons offences.

The shooting happened on Sept. 30, 2015 at 6:30 p.m. in the Old Orchard Shopping Centre at Willingdon Avenue and Kingsway. A 26-year-old Burnaby resident was hit and injured but treated and

released from hospital the same day.

One suspect was quickly arrested thanks to a group of bystanders who had chased him down and held him until officers arrived.

An investigation followed, and the second suspect was arrested on March 2.

A search warrant was executed and two guns were seized, including a loaded assault-style rifle and a loaded 9 mm handgun. Police also seized a significant amount of ammunition and drugs, according to RCMP. Police didn’t say where the arrest took place or where the search warrant was executed.

New federal budget renews calls for non-market rental housing Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

The City of Burnaby is already making moves on the housing front, following the federal Liberals’ budget announced earlier this week.

The city is planning to put out two calls for proposals now that the Liberals have set aside more than $208 million for the affordable housing innovation fund – roughly double what provinces were previously receiving for housing.

Coun. Colleen Jordan hopes some of that money

will help transform two cityowned sites into non-market, low-cost rental housing.

“This new program the feds are putting up looks to me like financing through Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, which hasn’t happened for 20 years,” Jordan said. “A group could say, we’d like to build a co-op, family housing, and we’re working on putting that out in the next couple of weeks. So hopefully, one of these projects will be shovel-ready as they say.”

Burnaby has two properties, one on Sixth Street and

another on Hastings Street, and Jordan is hoping a nonprofit will step forward to build non-market rental housing, possibly a co-op or some form of seniors’ housing.

“We’ll be keeping the land, but leasing it to them for nominal costs,” Jordan said. “The fact we’re putting forward the land makes the costs of rent really considerably low.We’ve done studies that show you could probably get a two-bedroom for $1,200 a month, something like that.”

Jordan also lauded the

What they said about the budget What local MPs said about the new federal budget.

KENNEDY STEWART, NDP

“It’s such a change to have a government spending a lot of money. … We’ve been in the desert forever, and then someone offers you a glass of water, and you think they are the most generous person in the world. … I think people are so happy to be rid of Stephen Harper, they’ll allow

this leeway (on the deficit) in this budget, but he won’t be able to do this again.”

– Burnaby South MP Kennedy Stewart

the poverty line. To me that’s so disrespectful.”

– New Westminster-Burnaby MP Peter Julian

PETER JULIAN, NDP

“From a high level, a lot of things we talked about in this campaign, and the year and a half leading up to the campaign have been delivered in this budget.”

– Burnaby North-Seymour MP Terry Beech

“He promised to lift seniors out of poverty. What we see today is an increase in the guaranteed liveable incomes supplement that amounts to $2.59 cents a day to seniors who are struggling far below

Liberals for bringing in a national housing strategy, something that’s been lacking for decades.

The budget includes $30 million over two years to continue rental subsidies for people in housing co-ops.

Burnaby South MP Kennedy Stewart was pleased to see $500,000 in the budget for Statistics Canada to gather data on foreign buyers in the country’s housing market, something he’s been calling for in Parliament.

The Liberals are also delivering on their plan to run a deficit, but at a projected $29.4 billion, it’s nearly three times larger than anticipated.They don’t expect to balance the books until 2019.

TERRY BEECH, LIBERAL

First step in revitalization Continued from page 1 single 30-storey apartment tower with a four-storey low-rise building fronting 18th Street.

The development will have 229 units in the tower and 53 units in the low-rise apartment.

Several councillors expressed their excitement for the projects coming forward after years of planning.

Coun. Paul McDonell said he moved into the neighbourhood 26 years

ago, and has watched it slowly go “downhill.”

Specifically, he praised the 90 units of social housing on the site.

“I’m glad the developer was able to bring this one on to the site, … it will be the first step in the revitalization of that whole area down there,” McDonell said, suggesting when the development is done, it will be one of the best in the city.

Mayor Derek Corrigan said he believes the develop-

ment will get the support of residents when it goes to a public hearing next month, adding it will improve the neighbourhood.

“I think the community’s been waiting with bated breath for this to happen,” he told the NOW. The mayor also noted the plan for the social housing units allows people in Cedar Place to stay in their residence and then move into new housing when it’s complete.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Time to make those promises real It’s not that the planet is getting too hot, just that it’s getting too hot for human beings.Temperatures were up 1.3 C across the world in February compared to last year.

With the global temperature breaking records at a Gretzky-like frequency, another degree doesn’t seem to faze most people. But it should, especially if you eat food.

Medical journal The Lancet is anticipating half a mil-

lion people will die in 2050, primarily due to a scarcity of fruit and vegetables caused by climate change.

After reading about imminent increases in heart disease, we stumbled on another story that made our blood pressure rise.

Energy companies, after hoarding their oil-extraction profits, are now hoping to share the cost of cleaning up their mess.

The Petroleum Services Association of Canada is

asking for $500 million in federal funds to clean up inactive oil and gas wells.The plan has already won support from Alberta’s energy minister.

We have little patience for companies that adhere to laissez-faire capitalism in good times but flip to sharethe-burden socialism when business is lean.

However, the bigger issue here is the frighteningly cosy relationship between our government and the

oil industry. It’s a relationship that includes billions in tax breaks and benefits, according to the International Monetary Fund.

Will Justin Trudeau be able to keep his promises on climate change and getting oil companies off of the government welfare wagon?

Here in Burnaby the government faces a giant test of its promises.

Kinder Morgan’s application to twin the Trans Mountain pipeline and

bring many more oil tankers into the inlet to transport it is a picture-perfect example.

It is an oil proposal that is in the wrong place at the wrong time, and has little, if any, local support. If the new government doesn’t quash this plan (if the NEB does approve it) it might as well kiss what’s left of its environmental reputation goodbye. Last week, it approved the environmental assessment for the Squamish LNG plant, which

shook a lot of people.

Theories on why this happened abound, but all of them point to a government or a government bureaucracy that is not doing its homework.

This does nothing to inspire confidence.

Stopping climate change means changing our habits: where we drive, what we buy, and if things keep up, who we vote for.

– Guest editorial from the North Shore News

MY VIEW ANDY PREST

What are we telling our kids?

I’d like to have a grownup, adult-only conversation in the paragraphs that follow, if you don’t mind. It’s about pies.

Alright, have the kids all gone back to playing with their ninja apps and getting Bieber tattoos? Good.

Before we go any further, I’ll note that I’m going to be using the word “pies” as a secret code for another word that I’ll be dancing around without writing.The “pies” I’m talking about are the pies that we feed our children a few times each year in the name of holiday fun. I don’t remember ever questioning these pies when I was a child, mainly because all of these pies lead to great things: money, presents, chocolate!

Now that I’m a parent, however, I can’t help but feel uneasy about all the pies. I probably wouldn’t have given it a second thought except I have a wily son who seems to be a tiny bit bothered by the pies we feed him. It started with Easter a couple years back.

Then just three years old, my son was already sharp enough to question why the hell a giant bunny would want to come into our house to hide things.

Had we ever seen the bunny? How would the bunny get into our supposedly safe and secure house?

As I tried to answer the barrage of questions, I got a very uneasy feeling.

“I dunno buddy, maybe the bunny is magic. But hey, free chocolate!” His biggest concern was about where

the bunny would go in the house. For some strange reason he was not OK with the idea of having a massive wild animal rooting around in his bedroom somehow hiding tiny objects with its huge, razor-sharp claws.

The solution we came up with was telling him the bunny would not come into his bedroom. I’m glad he accepted that, because if he’d kept up his line of questioning for a few more minutes I’m sure I would have cracked.To make matters worse, the Easter Bunny, whoever that is, hid only a few pieces of chocolate in our house and the rest were those little plastic eggs filled with raisins and Cheerios.

I’m telling my kid a bunch of pies and all he’s getting is raisins?What kind of man am I? So here we are.We rant and rave about politicians who tell pies – or, as it’s currently known,Trumping – yet we celebrate our major holidays by spinning weird, elaborate pies of our own for our children.

I’ve made a decision.This weekend I’m going to sit up all night until that Easter Bunny appears, and I’m finally going to let the truth ring out, for my children, for my conscience, for a better, more honest future.

“Listen up, Bunny, whoever you are,” I’ll say. “No more raisins!”

Go easy on the heartstrings already

Buzz over gallery show gets ’em talking

Dear Editor I don’t know how much longer I can retain the habit of not writing to defunct (or soon to be) papers, but I do get the impression that they will continue to provoke us to their last gasp.

It would seem that one Cornelia Naylor is to take over the role of provocateur majeure, from Jennifer Moreau, who no longer seems to appear herein.

Ah yes, family portraits scrawled out by little children really tug at the heartstrings, what?

But daddy has gone into hiding from immigration because ... well despite the fact that he has ignored our laws, yea these 45 years, we are expected to weep tears of blood for his (now their) predicament! We learn too, that Amber, and her little brother, are at some risk, not least because their mother has decided to “pose” as a single mom so as not to twig immigration officials to their harbouring an illegal immigrant. Some might see this as child abuse, bringing up your children to condone the telling of stories, also known as lying or the telling of untruths. I was taught that lying was a sin because it is the opposite of the TRUTH! We go on to learn that that paragon of probity and integrity, the teachers’ union, wishes to stand for the establishment of “sanctuary schools” even if they are opposed to the sanctity of parochial schools (unless fully unionized by themselves). But if there is anything to be said for all these groups, we suspect the most evocative would be the group known as “No One Is Illegal” established by the wonderfully named Harsha Walia! Of course, not to be outdone, we have teachers’ association president Rae Figursky who seems won’t that we know that “some people come to this country very concerned about any question being asked...” presumably also anything about previous violations against the law!

In the end, though, we read that Citizen and Immigration Canada (now under the auspices of no-nonsense Liberals) accepts the dad’s permanent residency on humanitarian and compassionate grounds! How nice! Mom Trish says it has been such a relief that this weight has been lifted from the family ... and now sits squarely on the shoulders of hardworking Canadians. Such is the stuff of bulls**t as translated by the local media.

Proud that Canada’s taking a stand Dear Editor John Hunter’s letter defending the oil industry kind of reminds me of the problem organized labour had when they were fighting for a living wage. “Better take what you can get. There’s always someone who will work cheaper.”

He says China can get their oil somewhere else where they’re ready to tolerate the possible consequences. He may be right, but someone has to make a stand, I’m proud that it’s us. He cites the loss of China as a possible customer. The way people in that country are being poisoned by industrial pollution may create an uprising there if they live long enough. Seems to me that the Chinese who are rich enough are moving to Canada.

Writer defends the pipeline expansion – and readers respond bill smith Well said !! I find it funny that SFU, the clear-cut at the top of Burnaby Mountain, and all the residential clear-cut areas at the bottom of Burnaby Mountain continue to expand with impunity... but somehow, 7 trees on Burnaby Mountain are sacred simply on the occasion that a pipeline company needed to cut them (and replace them), for a survey.

Ziggy Eckardt We can always find better ways of handling our resources or find a better location to do oil exports.

Unfortunately our local voters did not want any part of it. On the whole they seem to believe they are saving the planet. Few understand that they are no longer capable to live in caves, eating berries. Obviously our Obama “light” government will stick to fluff and arrogance and whatever did not work in Ontario either (but cost Canada a lot of jobs already).

It will take a while for people to understand that employing more social workers to look after refugees does not make the economy “sustainable”, (to use the new language).

But, don’t blame me. I voted conservative!

7carl8 This issue is no longer just about the Kinder Morgan twinning proposal to export bitumen..it’s about the entire BC coast..our Northern waters,Burrard Inlet and the Salish Sea....and the need to support the Canadian economy..wisely.As stated before ,ONE, COMBINED, COMMON SENSE PIPELINE could satisfy Canada’s much of our need for these vital export revenues...it’s time to stop the dithering...and get on with it !

Man jailed on trafficking charges Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

A judge described him as coming from an affluent family, but a man busted with a large amount of cocaine in Burnaby back in 2009 will have to get used to prison life for the next three years.

A B.C. Supreme Court judge has sentenced Robert Charles Arthur to three years in prison for trafficking 10 kilograms of cocaine, following a bust on May 4, 2009. He was convicted of possession for the purpose of trafficking related to the incident on Sept. 22, 2015 and sentenced Jan. 18. He was acquitted of possessing proceeds of crime from an alleged incident in April 2009.

According to court documents, police set up surveillance on a home in Burnaby where Arthur was seen leaving the building and getting into a Jeep. He was carrying a box that said “Live Tropical Fish” on the side.

He was stopped by police and the vehicle was searched.The box in the back of the vehicle contained 10 kilograms of cocaine.The entire interaction at the home was caught on video and used at trial.

The trial heard from an expert that each kilogram of cocaine could be worth $30,000 to $50,000.

While Justice Miriam Maisonville noted in her decision that there was no evidence Arthur was a “trusted lieutenant” with a specific drug trafficking organization, she found he was assigned to pick up the co-

caine and had spent some time at the residence.

The sentencing decision also included background on Arthur. He was 29 at the time of the arrest and is the son of a respected businessman. Arthur did well in school and received a scholarship for golf to the U.S., but a back injury forced him to give up the game.

When he returned home, court heard he became involved with individuals that got him into trouble with the law. But since the charge, court also heard Arthur has changed his life, having two children and starting up his own asphalt company that now employs up to eight people in the summer.

Though he had numerous letters of support from family, the judge said: “This drug, however, is dangerous for the community. It has wreaked havoc in the lives of many individuals.”

Crown was asking for a five- to six-year prison sentence, while the defence was seeking a conditional sentence. In her decision, Maisonville noted Arthur had no prior criminal record and accepted that he had expressed genuine remorse and changed his life.

“Nonetheless, the amount of cocaine in Mr. Arthur’s possession and the corresponding street value is an aggravating circumstance,” she wrote. “There was no evidence that Mr. Arthur was addicted to drugs. Instead, it appears that he was motivated by profit.”

Arthur was also handed a 10-year weapons ban.

Cops won’t be charged in Taser-related death Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

It’s the middle of the afternoon on June 4, 2014, and a trio of Burnaby RCMP officers is heading to an apartment on Walker Avenue to deal with a person who has broken a window.

He has taken his shirt off, is sweating heavily and is walking into closed glass doors.The residents want him to leave.

Once there, the police are told the man inside is an extremely large ex-football player and has been using drugs and booze. In fact, a toxicology report would later show the six-foot-five, 300-pound man had cocaine and alcohol in his system.

The three RCMP members make their way into apartment and are immediately confronted by the suspect, who attacks one of the officers. During a struggle, police use a Taser (conducted energy weapon, or CEW) and a lateral neck restraint, eventually getting the man to the ground.

In all, five people including three officers are needed to restrain the suspect, who is eventually handcuffed.

It’s at that point, the man goes into medical distress.

Several attempts by police, firefighters and paramedics fail to save the man, and he dies 45 minutes after RCMP arrived at the apartment.

Last Friday, nearly two years later, the province’s Criminal Justice Branch announced there will be no charges against the RCMP officers in the case.

The details of the investi-

gation into the police handling of the incident are detailed in a media statement from the branch.

“After reviewing the available evidence in its entirety, Crown counsel concluded that the evidence is not sufficient to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the police officers used more force than was reasonably necessary to subdue and restrain the suspect, including their use of physical restraint, a CEW, a carotid neck restraint and, eventually, handcuffs,” the report stated.

“A review of the available evidence also discloses that notwithstanding the violent struggle that preceded the handcuffing of the suspect, all of the officers were, at all times, endeavouring to obtain or provide medical assistance to the suspect as soon as his distress became apparent.”

Some of the evidence in the investigation was provided by residents at the scene who expressed concern for the officer’s safety: “According to the witness ‘Nobody did anything wrong, ‘Nobody did anything that shouldn’t have been done.

I’m pretty sure we were all in fear of him getting up.’

He also advised investigators, ‘I’m telling you right now if we didn’t come in there, I’m pretty sure it would have been a hell of a lot worse. ….The cops went in there, and uh, not even a minute man and you could hear BAM BAM, and then one officer screaming, ‘Get more help, get it now, get it now!’ He’s huge and he’s screaming too, and it’s going to take all three of them

to save their own lives.’”

A forensic pathologist attributed the cause of death to the combined effects of cocaine toxicity, means of restraint and cardiomegaly (enlarged heart).

The name of the man was never released.

Shelley Wallace What’s her business?

HAGENSBORG CHOCOLATES Why is she in the news?

Shelley Wallace just wanted to prove to her children she could accomplish something great, so in 2004 she quit her job as a waitress and started to work as a sales rep for Hagensborg Foods Ltd. Three years later, she bought the Burnaby-based company and rebranded it as Hagensborg Chocolates.

Earlier this month, Wallace appeared on Dragons’ Den on CBC hoping for some investment money to shift

What was it like in the beginning?

It was pretty daunting and pretty hard. For so long I always felt like I had to prove myself, but I didn’t.

I just put my foot to the metal and never looked back.When it was a tough day, I would just pick up the phone and make a sales call.That was my primary focus. It’s funny, I landed some big accounts on some of the hardest days of my personal life.You just never know what’s on the next phone call.

What were the hours like?

Oh they were crazy, 13and 14-hour days. It was really hard. I would say now, 10 years later, my kids, which are now teenagers – and plus now I have another one, I have a two-year-old – they appreciate that. So when I felt guilty, all those years of working too hard, it’s now they’ve reaped the benefits, they admire me – it’s awesome.

her entire line of chocolates to fair trade and organic.

In the end, Wallace backed out of the deal she made on the show, which would have secured the funds but lost her 50 per cent of her company. She told the NOW she’s proud of what she’s accomplished and excited for the future of her Burnaby business.

Here’s what she had to say about her journey as a businesswoman.

– Cayley Dobie

Why Burnaby?

I never was a Burnaby girl, I grew up in Victoria, but Burnaby has everything.

It’s huge, and it’s got such diversity.

What kind of challenges do you face?

When my third child was born, my focus was off the business, obviously, and it made me realize I am definitely the driver and pusher of this company. It was discouraging to see it wouldn’t be as good. But, also, as soon as I was back in the saddle it came back, but that was a tough year financially, and I always joke at the kids that we’re going to be living on macaroni and cheese. But we make it through. Other than that we’ve grown steadily every year, and being the 100 per cent shareholder, it’s a little tougher because I have to grow within my own means, so that’s always been a challenge.

What’s so great about owning a chocolate factory?

It’s just fun, it’s not like selling tape or screws. It’s a fun product, and it gives a platform to be so creative.

LET’S MAKE A DEAL Shelley Wallace, owner of Hagensborg Chocolates in Burnaby, appeared in the March 9 episode of Dragons’

Den. Wallace said she’s proud of the work she’s done over the past 10 years and is excited to move the company forward, possibly converting her entire line to fair trade and organic. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

It’s a fun product, and it gives a platform to be so creative

What’s the industry like?

In the industry, you can go to a meeting wearing jeans because you’re in the food industry. It’s just funny that way. It’s kind of got a broad spectrum where you can put on a two-piece suit or a three-piece suit and be really professional or you can go right down to farming level and go to Ecuador and see the plantations. It’s just such an

amazing industry.

Have you visited the farms where you buy your beans?

I think next year that’s the goal. I’m going to go see the plantations where I buy these damn beans from.

What bugs you about the industry?

I find it’s gotten a little snotty, and the misconception out there that if it’s not over 70 per cent chocolate, it’s not good enough chocolate.

That bugs me. I like milk chocolate; it’s good, and the cocoa beans all come from the same frickin’ place.

So people are more into dark chocolate now?

Foodie people have gotten snotty, that’s all I’ve

got to say. A KitKat bar is not bad once in a while.

But you make all kinds of chocolate, right?

Yeah, I’m not top-of-theline artisanal chocolate, but I’m not conventional. So yeah, I’m in the snotty area, too, but I think it’s just so fun.There’s just so many aspects to chocolate.

If you weren’t the owner of a chocolate factory, what would you be doing?

Maybe real estate?

Vancouver is nuts. I should have done that, to be honest with you. I’d probably be really rich by now.

When you’re not working, what do you do?

I play with my two-yearold, and I drive my kids to

sports. I love being a mom, I devote my weekends to them.

Have you reached success?

I think as an entrepreneur there’s always more (to do), but I think if I was to sit and take stock, I would feel I’ve achieved success by my kids being proud of me. … That was all I did it for, and the fact that my son wants to go to SFU and study business because he’s so inspired by it, and my daughter just is so proud to say her mom owns a chocolate factory, it just makes me feel very proud.

A BIG RESTORATION Burnaby Auto Body is no stranger to tough jobs, but its most recent restoration is something the crew is especially proud of.

Brian Borsoff, owner of Burnaby Auto Body, and his team just finished restoring a 1959 GMC fire truck for the Delta Fire Department. The 57-year-old truck was in rough shape when it arrived just over a year ago, Borsoff said.

While the truck isn’t the oldest the crew has been hired to restore, it was the biggest job yet. Borsoff had to use

FIRST PLACE 2016 - SENIOR TEAM Photo: Robert Bruce (instructor), Saulo Ferreira, Claire Tallman, Janet Fang, Ian Gordon

a grinder to sand off the old paint and rust after two gallons (about 7.5 litres) of aircraft grade paint stripper failed to get the job done.

The project, while paid, is one of those things that gets done in between other jobs, Borsoff said, and boy does he have a lot on the go these days.

A FIX-EVERYTHING KIND OF BODY SHOP Burnaby Auto Body handles typical body work, paint jobs, insurance claims, plus contract work for different

film shoots in the Lower Mainland and maintenance for City of Port Moody vehicles, including police and fire. In what spare time Borsoff has left, he also does restoration work. The shop has restored four fire trucks, including the Delta truck and two Burnaby fire trucks.

THE PROJECTS JUST KEEP COMING With the Delta job wrapped up, you’d think it’d be time for a rest, but that just isn’t Borsoff’s style. Next month, Burnaby Auto Body will start work on a fire truck from Princeton.

“I don’t turn away anything,” Borsoff laughed.

Should refugees get free leisure passes?

Tanya Commisso

editorial@burnabynow.com

A non-profit organization is calling on the City of Burnaby to provide free leisure passes to refugees.

The passes could play an important part in involving refugees in community events and programs they could not otherwise afford, according to United Way of the Lower Mainland staff member Katie Bell.

“It’s just something extra that we thought would be nice for refugees to have,” Bell said. “It’s a way for them to integrate into events without digging into money they might not have.”

The organization has submitted a request to the Burnaby parks, recreation

and culture commission to receive 100 single-use leisure passes to distribute at the United Way’s upcoming lunch event to welcome refugees.

Many newcomers are hesitant to approach new places.

The request was dated March 10, and the organization has yet to receive a response from the city.

The written request states, “many newcomers are hesitant to approach

new places and this allows them to access programs and services of interest with ease.”

The lunch will take place regardless of whether the organization receives the passes, Bell said, and will feature presentations from various community partners, such as the Burnaby Neighbourhood House and the RCMP.The presentations will provide refugees with information regarding the resources available to them.

The refugee welcome lunch will take place April 16 at Edmonds Community School from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Wrangler

The Original Off-Roading 4X4

BY DAVID CHAO

Needing no introduction, the Jeep Wrangler enters its 75th year of service.

Offering back-to-basics thrills, the Jeep Wrangler is tough and immensely capable off-the-road. Since the original Willys Jeep, its focus has always been about getting you from point A to point B, regardless of what’s in the way.

The Jeep Wrangler is the authority in this unique segment; however over the years a number of companies have tried to dethrone it. The closest challengers today are the Toyota 4Runner, Nissan Xterra and Land Rover LR2, but all lack the Jeep’s special qualities that make it the leader. Previously, the Toyota FJ Cruiser was the closest competitor but due to low demand, Toyota cancelled it a few years ago.

For 2016, the Wrangler doesn’t see any significant changes but the most notable addition is the special 75th Anniversary Edition model.

Design

There’s no mistaking a Jeep Wrangler for any other SUV. Even though Jeep is now owned by Italy’s Fiat group, there’s no chance that the parent company would ever change the iconic box-on-wheels shape or design.

And why would they? Fiat-Chrysler-Automobile group’s (FCA) plant in Toledo, Ohio has pumped out more than one million Wranglers since 2007.

Despite common thought, the Jeep Wrangler is not a direct descendant of the World War II Willys MB. Obviously, it still outwardly resembles the original, but the Wrangler started with a different design philosophy. Currently, the Jeep Wrangler is in its third generation.

Environment

Just like the Willys of the past, Wranglers still use body-onframe construction, rigid live axles front and rear, a fold-flat windshield and removable doors. However, its suspension, drivetrain and interior were redesigned to attract more onroad drivers.

The interior’s primary focus is still durability - the Jeep Wrangler actually has a drain plug so it can be cleaned with a hose.

Thanks to years of testing in the harshest conditions, it has built a solid reputation for durability and strength.

Performance

Compared to its modern competitors, the Jeep it is still Spartan and somewhat crude inside.

Leather seating surfaces are available, but most Wranglers will come with cloth seats.

Designed for easy entry and egress, the seats are flat and don’t have a lot of side bolsters.

The Wrangler’s dash can’t be called stylish and it’s made from hard plastic but the instrument panel has an efficient and functional design with all controls within easy reach. All but the base model come with a 6.5-inch touchscreen, with higher trim levels getting a navigation.

Sticking with the tried and tested theme, all Jeep Wranglers come with the same engine that was available in half of former Chrysler Group’s North American lineup.

Being available in two and four-door versions gives the Wrangler good versatility. The four-door Unlimited models can sit three in the rear seats and the additional doors allow for easier access.

The 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 replaced the famed 4.0-litre PowerTech straight-6 in this generation Wrangler.

Some may mourn that change, but this engine with its 285 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque is the most refined motor to ever power a Jeep.

Also, cargo space jumps from 142-litres in two-door models to 498 with four-doors. The rear seats fold 60:40 and the split tailgate makes loading easier too.

A 6-speed manual is standard, but a 5-speed automatic is available as an option. Both transmissions work well with the various axle and gear ratios on and off the road.

Panoramic sunroofs are all the rage these days, but the Jeep Wrangler merely scoffs at those as it can be transformed into a four-door, four-seat convertible. It can be a tricky and time-consuming process, but nothing compares with driving off-road with an open top.

Everyone knows that the Jeep Wrangler is most comfortable off-road. With its wheels pushed out to the corners, it has unmatched approach and departure angles.

Features

While the Wrangler is nearly unstoppable off-road, and this generation is better than its predecessors, it can become tiresome as a daily driver. On the highway, the Wrangler is very loud, the ride is bumpy, and its brick-like shape causes it to use a lot of gas.

Standard features are very basic as few notable items come on the base Sport model.

The steering is also mushy and vague, though no one seems to care about this – Jeep Wrangler owners are notoriously known for loyalty and high satisfaction with the vehicle.

Instead of complaining about the on-road feel - to fully enjoy the Jeep Wrangler - get away from the beaten path and drive to places few other vehicles can go.

Prices start at $25,495 for the base Sport model, and range up to $42,490 for the Unlimited 75th Anniversary Edition.

Additional features, available as options or standard on higher trim levels, include air conditioning, power windows, power locks, keyless entry, heated front seats, heated exterior mirrors, auto-dimming rearview mirror, auto headlights, and Bluetooth.

Fuel economy numbers (L/100km) for two-door, manual transmission models are 14.2 city and 11.0 highway. Four-door, manuals return 15.0 city and 11.4 highway.

Thumbs Up

The Jeep Wrangler offers commanding off-road capability. Also, the Pentastar V6 is the perfect fit for this vehicle.

Thumbs Down

If you are not going to use the Wrangler’s off-road prowess often, it can be tiring to drive in a city environment.

The Bottom Line

If you want to go where others can’t, the Jeep Wrangler will always get you there and back again.

WHO’S DOING WHAT

AWARD WINNING PEOPLE AND AWARD WINNING PRODUCT

BONNIE CHUNG A former Burnaby resident has fulfilled her fashion-forward dreams by having her clothing brand showcased at this week’s Vancouver Fashion Week.

Bonnie Chung, president and head designer of the clothing line Je Vis Couture, began designing custom cocktail dresses for her brand in 2010 and has since created a bridal collection, Je Vis Bridal. She’s now living in Toronto and caught up with the NOW to chat about Fashion Week.

HOW DOES IT FEEL TO HAVE YOUR DESIGNS INCLUDED IN VANCOUVER FASHION WEEK? It feels like a dream, very unreal. I have participated in multiple bridal shows and fashion shows, but being a part of any “fashion week” is completely a dream come true. Vancouver being my hometown makes it extra special to me. I thank John Casablanca Institute for this opportunity to present my collection at VFW.

HOW DID YOUR PROFESSIONAL SALES DIPLOMA FROM BCIT HELP YOU TO LAUNCH YOUR OWN BRAND? Being a business owner, you cannot be just a fashion designer; you must have the experience and knowledge in both sales and marketing.

This is where my sales and marketing background from BCIT became really helpful.

Everything you learn in class at BCIT becomes useful, but what you learn outside the classroom, such as how to deal with stress and how to manage projects and tight deadlines, are also invaluable.

WHAT MADE YOU INTERESTED IN DOING A BRIDAL COLLECTION? I used to design a lot of dresses for local performers or for prom and special occasions, and I loved it, and I still love it. But as one matures and grows, you tend to strive for something more, something that gives a certain degree of

SPRING CAR CARE

Presented By:

Topics to discuss before hiring your next mechanic Few decisions weigh as heavily on automobile owners as their choice of mechanic. A good mechanic goes a long way toward ensuring drivers and their passengers stay safe on the road and that those drivers’ vehicles perform at their peak for years to come. That’s an important role to play, and it’s why many drivers acknowledge that choosing a mechanic is a decision that should not be taken lightly. Rest assured you don’t need to be a car guy or gal to find a trustworthy and talented mechanic. You might just need to open a dialogue with a prospective mechanic, discussing a handful of topics that can help you feel more comfortable and know you have made the right choice in automotive service provider once a final decision has been made.

1

Certification

Certification can go a long way toward helping drivers find mechanics they can trust. The National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence was founded in 1972 and continues to work to improve the quality of automotive service and repair by testing automotive technicians and certifying those who live up to or exceed ASE standards. An ASEcertified technician should have his or her credentials readily available

to prospective customers, and these credentials list each professional’s area of certification. When shopping for a new mechanic, make sure that he or she is ASE-certified. In addition, discuss with the mechanic his or her work history, including any additional areas of expertise.

2

Pricing policies

Many mechanics offer free estimates, but that should not be taken for granted. When bringing a car in for an estimate, drivers should confirm with the mechanic who will conduct the examination if the estimate is free or if they will be charged an inspection fee.

In addition to any fees regarding estimates, drivers should also inquire about labor costs and the payment policies at the facility. Labor can be quite expensive, so it’s best that you know these rates in advance of any repairs being conducted on your vehicle. It’s also important to get a rundown of the company payment policies, especially if your vehicle is in need of potentially costly repairs.

You don’t want the bill to shock you once the work has been completed, so don’t hesitate to be inquisitive before leaving a car at the garage.

3 Parts

Replacing parts on a vehicle is a cause for concern for many

drivers, and rightfully so. Consumer advocacy groups have exposed many mechanics who pass off used auto parts as new parts, charging their customers new part prices along the way. While there’s no way drivers can guarantee they won’t fall victim to such criminal behavior, they can inquire about company policies regarding vehicle parts. Does the garage even install used parts? If so, do they let drivers choose either new or used parts before any work is done? If the garage only uses new parts, ask for parts with solid warranties, so if the part must be replaced, you won’t have to pay for it again.

4

Documentation

The preowned vehicle market is thriving, and drivers who take care of their vehicles have earned the right to reap their rewards for being good owners when it comes time to sell the car.

When interviewing prospective mechanics, ask if they are willing to provide detailed documentation of any work they do on your vehicle.

Such documentation can then be shared with prospective buyers when you want to sell the car, and it also serves as a way to keep the garage accountable for all the work they have done on the car throughout your relationship. - MC

Art students brighten up aquarium display

Awareness: Burnaby teacher JudyKaye McLeod and Stream of Dreams ecoeducator Louise Towell display jellyfish created

by Byrne Creek students. The jellies are now on permanent display at the Vancouver Aquarium

Swarm of jellyfish was created to help raise awareness of the impact of litter on marine ecosystems Cornelia Naylor

CLASS ACT

@burnabynow.com

Byrne Creek Community School art students are behind a new swarm of jellyfish now on permanent display at the Vancouver Aquarium in the window outside the AquaQuest entrance.

Students in grades 8 to 12 created more than 100 jellies in a new program delivered by Louise Towell from the eco-education Stream of Dreams program.

During the project, students learned about marine litter. Among the colourful jellyfish on display at the aquarium, are ordinary plastic bags.These common litter items can look like jellyfish to turtles, which means they can be mistaken for food, causing starvation.

For more information, visit tinyurl.com/AquariumJellyfish.

NEW BAA COURSES Local high school students will have four new electives to choose from next year after the Burnaby school board approved a new batch of board authority authorized (BAA) courses for 2016/17. Burnaby Mountain will get two new classes: Musical Theatre and Statistics 12.

Cariboo Hill will have a new class called Self-Efficacy, in which students will learn self-regulation and self and social awareness.

The board also approved Health Sciences A and B – a theory and lab course respectively – for students in the district’s new Health Sciences Industry Training Program, a partnership with BCIT. BURNABY’S GOT TALENT The Burnaby School District Student Advisory Council (DSAC) is gearing up for its popular Burnaby’s Got Talent student talent show, which raised $6,300 for charity last year.

The show, set for Tuesday, April 5 at the Michael J. Fox

Theatre, will feature top talent from all Burnaby high schools.

Finalists will be selected by a panel of guest judges, but it will be up to the audience to pick the top act.

Tickets are $10 and will be available online at bit. ly/bgt2016tickets or at the door, but last year’s show was sold out, so buy early to avoid disappointment.

The show raises money for charity every year.This year’s charity is the Burnaby Youth Hub. EXTRA DAY OFF IN SEPTEMBER Burnaby students will get a bonus long weekend in September next year thanks to the new B.C. curriculum.

The ministry of education announced the new kindergarten-to-Grade 12 curriculum in September 2015 and said extra non-instructional days would be carved out of the school calendar to give teachers a chance to study it.

Teachers already had two days this school year, and the Burnaby school board voted last month to set aside Friday, Sept. 30.

A fourth and final curriculum implementation day will be set aside in the 2017/18 school year.

NEW SFU VP Simon Fraser University has picked a University of Victoria geography professor and dean of social sciences as its new vice-president academic and provost.

Peter Keller will take over from Jonathan Driver in September after Driver returns to his position as professor of archeology. Keller holds a B.A. with honours from Trinity College in Dublin, as well as an M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Western Ontario. Most recently, he served two terms as dean of UVic’s faculty of social sciences. As VP academic and provost, Keller takes on the academic leadership of the university’s three campuses and eight faculties.

Tips for successful container gardening Anne Marrison

GREEN SCENE

editorial@burnabynow.com

Question: I am in a seniors’ residence with a very large patio.There is talk of doing container gardening here. But no one really knows how to create this.

Olga Sorenson, Vancouver Answer: If your patio is above ground, you’ll need to ask your manager or strata council if the structure will stand the significant weight of soil.

It’s best to begin with just a few containers because the first year will be all learning.

Even in containers there’s thinning, weeding, pest patrol, watering, harvesting and crop rotation.

One important bit of learning is cooperation.

Sometimes a few people do all the work while the others visit and cheer.

I’d suggest half-barrel size containers because soil dries out less in these. Also in winter, the roots of plantings in the middle are less susceptible to freezing.

It’s essential all your tubs have drainage holes in the

bottom. A piece of landscape fabric or several layers of plastic mesh will stop soil from migrating out of the drainage holes.

Some patios have drains for excess water, but balcony patios may need protection under pots so water is contained.

It’s best to learn not to over-water and to never let soil dry right out unless you’re growing dry-land plants. Dry soil has a sneaky trick of shrinking away from the sides leaving a narrow fissure all the way round the inside of the pot.

This allows water to cascade down and out of the bottom. Meanwhile, the dry soil in the centre stays dry. If this happens, dig very small holes in the soil surface where water can pool. Fill them frequently until the soil is moist throughout.

For container gardens all you really need is a small shovel, a trowel, a small garden fork or rake. Stakes, tomato cages or a small trellis are optional depending what you plant.

Once the containers are in place, you can begin loading them with topsoil from garden centres. Check whether fertilizer is already added.

Harvest: When to pick rhubarb is in part a matter of personal taste, our gardening columnist says. PHOTO THINKSTOCK

Leafy vegetables like highnitrogen fertilizer.When you go to get the containers and soil, it’s best to go when the nursery isn’t busy and make a point of chatting to one of the assistants. If you talk to them about gardening in containers they’re very likely to tell you things you’d have never thought to ask.

Question:

I learned from my parents:“Never pick rhubarb in a month with an ‘R’ in it.”

This is quite different than your rule about picking until early June. Does it develop too much oxalic acid after that?

Pat Pepperman, email Answer: The rule about not picking rhubarb after early June is one I learned as a child in

England. I was told it tastes better in early spring and gets stringy and dry later.

But here, I was told rhubarb develops higher levels of oxalic acid in summer.

Our summers are hotter.

That would make a difference to rhubarb.

A lot of gardening practice can be adjusted by what a person does culturally.

I’m sure if you water rhu-

barb diligently while picking it, the moisture level in the stalks will be higher and oxalic acid lower. Frankly, rhubarb roots are so huge and strong, it may be irrelevant exactly what one does when.

I’d say keep right on doing what suits you best. Just like adjusting cooking recipes.

Thanks for sharing – that’s one of the joys of this work.

Communitynow The spiritual side of jazz Lovers of jazz music, there’s a new home for you.

Brentwood Presbyterian Church is hosting a regular Jazz Evensong on Wednesday evenings, drawing on the many top jazz musicians in the Vancouver area – both those who live here and those on tour here.

“Churches are looking to offer an alternative time and form of worship in which

people can be nourished by the grace of Jesus Christ to flourish,” the church says in a write-up about the evenings. “And Brentwood has a warm ambience and amazing acoustics for this kind of music.”

The Evensong is made up mostly of music, seven pieces in all, along with prayers.

Anyone in attendance is invited to put some mon-

ey into a “thanks bucket” that’s passed around during the service, with the money going to the musicians that evening.

Up next, on March 30, is jazz vocalist-pianist Adele Wilding.

Brentwood Presbyterian Church is at 1600 Delta Ave. See www.brentwood pc.ca for more on the services.

Occupation CHEF Why is he in the news?

Chef Ben Kiely’s route to Burnaby was paved with love and cooking.

He met a Burnaby woman in Greece, fell in love, and after some time in Europe, found himself teaching cooking and raising a family in British Columbia.

Kiely has worked in some of Europe’s finer hotel restaurants, mostly in London but also in Brittany and Paris, France and Spain’s Canary Islands.

He was trained in classical French cooking, but his style is heavily influenced by contemporary West Coast cuisine.

House, we’ve got the Pear Tree – some pretty good establishments.

What’s different about your column?

I’ll try to identify different cultures we have in Burnaby and focus a little bit more on their cuisine. Burnaby is pretty strong for that.We’ve got Cioffi’s up on Hastings Street, really (good) Italian meat, Bosa Foods. Burnaby is growing, and I think the food scene is growing because a lot of talented chefs are moving out from Vancouver.We’ve got the Hart

Upcoming recipes: Grilled chicken with yuzu, papaya, avocado and spicy miso mayonnaise. A light dish full of colour and flavour.

Once children were in the picture, Kiely wanted a job with more family-friendly hours, so he switched to teaching, first at the Art Institute and now at the Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts.

Kiely spoke with the NOW about Burnaby’s burgeoning culinary scene and his exploration of national identity and diversity through food. He will soon be a regular in the Burnaby NOW, offering seasonal recipes with local ingredients.

– Jennifer Moreau

What originally got you interested and passionate about food?

Growing up, I used to love going to markets. Living in Europe, it’s quite easy to travel, and getting to know someone else’s culture is by learning their food, so going to markets was a really big part of it, identifying ingredients. I loved the creativity of plating and the presentation (at culinary school in London). I come from quite a small town outside of London, and it was something new to me.

IN THE KITCHEN Chef

Ben Kiely lives in Burnaby but teaches at the Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts in Vancouver. He will be contributing a regular recipe column to the NOW.

It was just so exciting.

Would you say you have a signature dish?

I really like cooking with lamb, and I think Salt Spring Island lamb is one of the best lambs I’ve ever had. I think it’s beautiful, because it eats the seaweed, so it naturally becomes salty, seasoned meat. I like simple food, but just done really well.

What would you do for vegetarians?

I think vegetables are really overlooked, but I personally love vegetables. I think it’s a really trending market right now.The price of

meat has gone up 35 to 40 per cent in restaurants, so there’s a huge market for vegetarian food.You have to be a better chef when you’re dealing with vegetables because you have to be more creative.You have to use different vegetables, different colours, different techniques. It’s a real challenge for a chef to do vegetarian done well because you always get stuck with the mushroom risotto, but they want way better than that.

How would you describe Burnaby’s culinary landscape?

We’ve got so many different ethnic-based restaurants

in Burnaby, which are competing with corporate restaurants. It’s really hard for the local small neighbourhood restaurants to compete on the scale of those ones, so I think they become more creative.The restaurant scene in Burnaby is getting a lot more diverse.

What do you see here?

Especially around Metrotown, in the last couple of years I’ve noticed, I see a lot more mom-and-pop kind of Asian style restaurants – Japanese, Korean.

Korean food has never been more popular than what it is right now.

What about hidden culinary gems in Burnaby? Where would you go if you wanted something nice to eat?

The Hart House is really nice for brunch.The Pear Tree is definitely one of our higher end restaurants.

I think Scott Jaeger is really, really good. For Asian food, especially that little bit around Metrotown.There are some hidden gems around there, with the hot pots they do, and they have some cool sushi places. And then you’ve got the fish and chips.You’ve got lots of different things.

Communitynow Recipe: Mouth-watering sablefish lettuce wraps Ben Kiely

editorial@burnabynow.com

I enjoy the balance of flavours in this recipe; it’s got spice, acid and sweetness, which make for a mouthwatering dish.

Sablefish lettuce wraps with pickled mango and cucumber 450 g of sablefish, skinless, cut into 8 pieces 2 chipotle chilies in adobo 3 tablespoons shiro miso (light miso) 1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon fresh lime 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar ½ teaspoon ground cumin ½ teaspoon dried oregano 1tablespoon canola oil 1 bunch cilantro 1 bunch mint 8 butter leaf cups

For the pickled cucumber and mango 4 tablespoons of peeled and small diced cucumber 4 tablespoons of diced mango 1 cup rice wine vinegar 1 cup sugar

Method Start with pickling the cucumber and mango. In a small saucepan, combine the rice wine vinegar and sugar with one-quarter cup of water and heat over a medium heat until sugar dissolves, stirring occasionally.Transfer the liquid to a small bowl. Add the cucumber and mango.

Place in the fridge for 30 minutes, then drain and discard the liquid.

In a food processor combine the miso, chipotles, honey, lime juice, red wine

vinegar, cumin and oregano and blend until smooth.

Heat a grill pan and lightly oil with canola oil. Lightly season the fish salt. Grill over medium heat, basting the fish with the sauce, grill the fish until golden and cooked through, which should take 10 to 12 minutes.

Arrange the lettuce cups on a platter.

Place the fish in the lettuce, top with the cucumber and mango. Garnish with the cilantro and mint leaves.

Lettuce wraps: This recipe combines sweetness, acidity and spice for the perfect balance of flavour. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

2016 Georgie Awards

Celebrating Building Excellence for 24 Years

I

t’s a spring tradition: BC’s annual Georgie Awards®. As gardens burst into bloom, British Columbia’s residential building industry experts gather in Vancouver to celebrate the best of the province’s builders, developers, renovators, and marketers – the people behind the innovations and designs that define our place among global trendsetters.

More than 600 people were on hand at the Hyatt Regency to applaud this year’s 49 winners. Projects ranged from compact condos to estate mansions but all shared a dynamic sense of creativity and forwardthinking vision. Once again, no single company or project dominated, and many first-time entrants took home a gold statue… or two.

The Two Sweeps

By the numbers, Naikoon Contracting Ltd and My House Design/Build Team Ltd were the evening’s top winners with five golds each.

Naikoon’s Winton House, winner in the

$750,000 to $1.5 million custom home category, helped propel the company to its second Custom Home Builder of the Year Grand Georgie Award. President Joe Geluch credits the client’s commitment to sustainable, green design and willingness to think outside the box as significant contributing factors.

The Grand Georgie for Residential Renovator of the Year went to My House Design/Build Team, in part for Hillside Splendor, a down-to-the-studs rebuild in West Vancouver mansion. The 12-year-old home’s seismic upgrading, new heating mechanical and open-concept floor plan gave the house BuiltGreen Platinum certifi cation, virtually unheard of in a renovation.

Triple Winners

After being named Best Multi-Family Low Rise Development and taking top honours for Best Interior Design Display Suite, Royce by Forge Properties took home the Grand Georgie for Residential Community of the Year.

Portrait Homes also saw a triple win. Once again honoured with a Grand Georgie for Single Family Production Home Builder of the Year, the Richmond-based company added another customer service accolade to their already lengthy list, this time for the Grand Georgie for Customer Satisfaction (Single Family). “For me, customer choice awards are always the most meaningful because they are based on direct customer feedback,” says Rob Grimm, president.

“This is one way we know we are meeting the ever-changing needs and desires of our homebuyers.”

Kindred Construction was the evening’s final three-time winner. Projects spanned a luxurious mid-rise condominium (South Creek Landing), a $3 million custom home and Kitsilano Neighbourhood House.

Other Notable Victories

Long-time participant Concert Properties received two Grand Georgies including their sixth Customer Satisfaction Award in the Multi Family category since 2008, while

Zenterra Developments got the nod for the coveted Multi Family Home Builder of the Year Grand Georgie.

Jaheny Custom Builders was one of an exciting group of new Georgie entrants who took home gold this year. The dazzling Tuscan Reflections manor blew the completion away in both the landscaping and outdoor living categories by transforming an unsightly gravel pit into a one-of-a-kind private resort home.

In Shaughnessy, Carol Faan Interiors Ltd replicated the glamour of an English estate home with lavish use of marble and 22foot diameter foyer chandeliers, winning gold in the Best Interior Design Custom Residence category.

“The Georgie Award finalists are as diverse as our membership,” says Gordon Bliss, president of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association of BC. “The strength of this association is in our members… over 1,600 strong in all areas of BC.” For a complete list of Georgie Award winners, visit www.georgieawards.ca.

OT win keeps Steelers alive Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

Their backs were against the wall, but on Wednesday night, the Grandview Steelers proved just how tough a team they really are.

The Steelers were at home on Wednesday for the fourth game of the Pacific Junior Hockey League final best-of-seven series against the Mission City Outlaws.

The Burnaby-based junior B team were at a 3-0 deficit going into the game and needed a win to stay alive.

It was one of those old clichés, do or die stuff.

“Our focus was to have the right choice of mind and take it one shift at a time, and when we did, we played a really solid game from start to finish,” said head coach Aldo Bruno on Thursday.

The Steelers started the first period strong with a shorthanded goal by Kristofor Zlomislic. Come the second period, the Steelers’ Nicolas Bizzutto slipped another puck past the Outlaws’ goalie to make it 2-0 for the home team.The team managed to stave off Mission City’s offence for the remainder of the period.

They weren’t so lucky in the third period.

“They took it to us right away in the third, and we weathered the storm until the power play we got,” Bruno said.

Mission City scored two goals in the third within three minutes of each other, tying the game at 2-2 and forcing an overtime period.

“We blew a 2-0 lead going into the third, and we had to score in overtime to win it. It was a good exciting game for sure,” Bruno noted.

“It was one of those old clichés, do or die stuff,” he added.

And “do” they did. Steelers forward Ian Prevost scored the game-winning Continued on page 33

No win for Clan SFU’s softball team’s sevengame winning streak came to an end on the weekend.

The women suffered tough losses in their double-header against Western Oregon, losing 2-0 in the first game and 6-5 in the second.

“We were simply too tentative at the plate but give credit to the Western Oregon pitcher who kept us in check,” said head

coach Mike Renney in a press release. “If anything it was a classic pitching battle and was won on a couple of defensive miscues on our part.”

The losses move the Clan to a 7-5 record in Great Northwest Athletic Conference play and 1612 overall.

SPEED SKATING

Do or die: Steelers’ forward Ian Prevost celebrates a goal during a game against Delta earlier this month.

Prevost marked another point on Wednesday in the Steelers’ win over Mission City in Game 4 of the PJHL final.

Silver finish for local kid A Burnaby-based speed skater is carrying around some extra special hardware these days after his speed skating team earned a silver medal at last month’s B.C.Winter Games.

Bryan Leon, who was representing the Burnaby Haida Speed Skating Club, was one of hundreds

of young athletes who descended on Penticton from Feb. 25 to 28 for the 2016 B.C.Winter Games.

Leon participated in five events at the tournament, including the U16 boys’ super 1,000 metre and 3,000m points race. But it was in the U16 mixed 3,000m relay that Leon and his Fraser River team

really pulled their weight.

The mixed girls-andboys team earned a spot on the podium with a silver medal finish.

This month, Leon, 14, participated at the 2016 Canada West Short Track Championships, where he earned a second-place finish in the 400m.

– Cayley Dobie

Next game is a must-win Continued from page 32 goal at about midway through overtime to make it 3-2 and force a Game 5. Bruno said he was happy with the way the boys played on Wednesday, especially goalie Cole MacInnes, whose been the anchor for the team throughout the playoffs.

“We paid attention to the little details, and our goaltender played the way he’s played the entire playoffs.

He struggled the first three games, but he was really focused, and it was a great bounce-back game for him,” Bruno said.

Looking forward, Bruno admits it won’t be easy.The Steelers have to win the remaining three games in a row to secure the PJHL title, starting with Saturday’s game in Mission.

“We’ll be working on our power play,” he said. “Our neutral zone play was some-

thing we talked about, (and) last night before the game we implemented a couple of things, and I thought the kids responded really well to it, but we’ll work on it in the next couple days in practices and then hopefully come back and win Game 5, 6 and 7.”

The Steelers face off against Mission City on Saturday, March 26 at the Mission Leisure Centre.The puck drops at 6:30 p.m.
