DEMOVICTION PROTESTERS OCCUPYING APARTMENT

Court orders activists to leave building Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

The clock is ticking on a group of housing advocates who have occupied a vacant building slated for demolition in the Metrotown area.

On Thursday, the B.C. Supreme Court granted Amacon Developments, the owner of the property, an injunction that would allow

police to remove the protesters from the building immediately.

Members of Alliance Against Displacement began occupying the building at 5025 Imperial St. on Saturday and have vowed to stay until they are forcibly removed.The occupation is part of an ongoing battle between housing advocates and city hall over the issue

of “demovictions.”

As of Thursday afternoon at press time, a handful of members of the group were still occupying the building and preparing for arrest.

Dave Diewert, a member of Alliance Against Displacement, said the group tried to argue in court that granting the injunction would hurt both renters and some of the homeless who

To abandon that … goes against our basic principle were now living in the vacant building.

“I think the decision is

horrible,” he told the NOW. Diewert, who has also been staying in the building since Saturday, said he was prepared to be arrested.

“To abandon that at this point, to comply with the law, goes against our basic principle,” he said.

The main demand from the group remains that the city put a moratorium on the demolition of buildings

in the Metrotown area.The group is also calling on the city to scrap a proposed update to the Metrotown Development Plan.

Earlier this week, Mayor Derek Corrigan blamed provincial and federal governments for the current situation with housing.

He also argued the city doesn’t have the authority Continued on page 8

Firefighters get extra tool to help save pets The story of a dog trainer who lost nine pets to smoke inhalation prompted a business owner to step forward Tereza Verenca

editorial@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby Fire Department is now fully stocked with pet oxygen masks, thanks to a donation from a pet food company in Surrey.

Pam Knibbs with Earth Options Pet Products told the Burnaby NOW the story about dog trainer Dove Cresswell hit close to home for staff. Cresswell lost nine pets to smoke inhalation after a fire broke out in her Burnaby suite in May. “I could not imagine that happening to me,” she said. “What if the Cloverdale fire department showed up and they couldn’t save any of them? I don’t have any children.This is it.”

At the time of the tragedy, the fire department only had one pet oxygen kit, which contained two mask sizes.

After learning about the lack of resources, Knibbs said the pet food company decided to donate five kits to the Burnaby fire department, one for every ladder truck.

“I had no idea that fire trucks didn’t have pet oxygen masks. I really didn’t.That was a huge eye opener. It’s like, why not?” the owner of three pugs added.

Burnaby assistant fire chief Erik Vogel welcomed the donation and called it a “great feeling.”

“The chances of us needing more than one kit will hopefully never happen again. Now we’re covered,” he said.

Should city crack down on Airbnb?

Tourism Burnaby chair says online site is hurting the local hotel and tourism industry Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

It was a banner year for tourism in Burnaby in 2015, but there is bit of a dark cloud hanging over the industry.

Airbnb, the popular online site that allows people to rent out their homes, is having an impact on the local hotel and tourism industry, according to Tourism Burnaby’s chair, Ed Jaskula.

The chair of the organization was discussing the issue of Airbnbs during a presentation to Burnaby city council Monday.

“This underground economy is affecting us all,” he said when asked about the impact of Airbnbs on tour-

ism in the city. “These people who are making an industry out of this … really need to be dealt with.”

While Jaskula didn’t have concrete numbers for Burnaby, he suggested 20 to 30 per cent of highrise units could be currently used as Airbnbs, depending on the community. He told council he’d heard of one case where a house was recently being rented out to 15 people for $800 a night.

“These people are skipping the entire process,” he told council.

Jaskula said the issue is sensitive because people are making an income out of Airbnbs, but he added he would welcome rules and taxes on the business.

“Right now we’re doing really well, (but) this is a distribution system if we let it get out of control, we’ll never be able to get it back,” he said, adding he would

This underground economy is affecting us all

also encourage Burnaby to take the lead on the issue.

Coun. Nick Volkow said he would like to see the city take the lead on addressing the issue, noting the im-

pact on the local hotel and tourism industry. He also expressed disappointment, suggesting all levels of government know there’s an issue but are choosing not to do anything about it.

“It should be addressed before the horse literally is out of the barn,” he told the NOW, calling the sharing economy “a race to the bottom.”

However, he also argued the provincial government would be best positioned to address the issue.

Mayor Derek Corrigan said he doubts the city can do much on its own, adding he gets worried when municipalities act alone on issues like this one.

The city’s community de-

velopment committee is currently looking at the impacts of Airbnbs and is expected to provide a report to city council in the future.

Meanwhile, the tourism industry continues to flourish in Burnaby. According to Tourism Burnaby, visitor numbers and room rates were all up in 2015 from the previous year.

In 2015, the local tourism organization netted a record $993,113 in revenue, which was nearly a 40 per cent increase over 2014.

The revenue comes the municipal and regional district tax program, or the hotel room tax.

COMMENT ON THIS STORY

Burnabynow.com

Shot fired from car Burnaby Mounties are asking for any witnesses to come forward following a shooting around suppertime Wednesday evening.

Police were called to the 7000 block of Linden Avenue at 6 p.m. after a single shot was fired between two vehicles. No one was injured in the incident.

RCMP Sgt. Derek Thibodeau said investigators don’t have a motive for the shooting.

“We are concerned when shots are fired, especially in a quiet residential street during the supper hour,” he told the NOW. “It puts citizens at risk and it’s unacceptable.”

Police are hoping anyone with information will come forward and call the local RCMP detachment.

Poodle had been snatched from a carrier in a shopping cart in the Lougheed mall parking lot jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

A missing toy poodle taken from the parking lot at Lougheed mall has been found safe and sound.

On Tuesday, Burnaby RCMP confirmed the fouryear-old dog named CoCo had been located in Langley and returned to its owner.

However, there were few details on how the dog was found.

The drama began Saturday when the dog was stolen in Burnaby.

Police said the dog’s owner was unloading groceries from a shopping cart into her vehicle at 6 p.m. in the mall parking lot, when a silver four-door Honda Civic pulled up beside her.The passenger in the suspect vehicle snatched the dog, which was tucked away in a white and navy blue carri-

er bag sitting in the cart, according to RCMP. Mounties said the vehicle was driven by a Caucasian woman in her 20s with blond hair. At the time of the incident, the passenger, a man described as Caucasian, was wearing a black baseball hat.

The vehicle was last seen speeding away westbound toward the Lougheed SkyTrain station.

The owner also offered a reward for the return of CoCo. An ad on Kijiji was offering a $2,000 reward for the dog’s safe return.

The ad read in part: “As long as it is our right dog, we will provide rewards at there. Please help us sincere way.We only need our dog to come home safely then happy to give rewards.”

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Wake up, Canada, we’re not so perfect “Thank heavens I live in Canada.”

We’re hearing that refrain more and more often as citizens of our fair nation look at the goings-on south of the border.

Every time someone shares a story on social media about the shooting of a black man in the U.S., Canadians watch with a mixture of horror and sadness – with more than a little bit of smugness thrown in for good measure.

Oh sure, it’s horrible and

it’s ugly, but at least it’s not happening here. Or so we tell ourselves.

Hate to break it you, Canada, but that’s just not quite true.

Just ask Remigio Pereira.

As the singer – a member of Canada’s The Tenors – discovered after his now notorious decision to change the lyrics to O Canada at baseball’s all-star game, race is a touchy topic in Canada too.

And for good reason.

For all that we like to hold ourselves up to the

U.S. as a shining example of a tolerant and inclusive nation, we have our own share of problems.

The treatment of our First Nations people, historic and current, has to top the list. And that’s not forgetting about all the times that minority communities – immigrants from China, Japan and India, among others –- have run up against systemic prejudice and racism in Canadian society.

Lest you think that those

sorts of problems live only in the distant past, you need only to read the comment sections attached to any article about foreign ownership of real estate to recognize that racism is alive and well and living among us.

Or, for that matter, cruise the #alllivesmatter hashtag on Twitter for another eyeopening look at how people are thinking in this country.

The fact of the matter is, racism exists – on both a personal and a systemic level. Pretending it doesn’t

won’t change anything.

And we fear it will get worse before it gets better.

Because the more people feel insecure – about their jobs, their homes, their ability to effect political change – the more likely they are to lash out against the unknown “others” who they believe are threatening their way of life. And the more people feel powerless in a world that seems to have gone adrift, the more likely they are to hunker down and isolate themselves from

anyone who looks, sounds and thinks differently from themselves.

No, our leaders aren’t spewing hate and vitriol at every possible opportunity.

And no, people aren’t being shot in the streets for having the wrong skin colour.

But sticking our heads in the sand and pretending not to see the problems around us is no way to move forward.

MY VIEW MARY POLAK

Here’s the deal with camping

I completely understand the frustration people feel when they are unable to reserve a campsite in one of our provincial parks.You’ve booked some vacation time, or maybe simply left work early on a Friday to get a jump on the weekend.You would like to kick back with friends or family, but your favourite campground you’ve visited over the years is full.

The very features we all love about provincial parks, namely spectacular wilderness close to where we live, are also causing a problem for some people and families.There are simply too many people chasing too few campsites.There are fewer than 6,000 reservable campsites in B.C. The ultimate solution is to increase the supply of campsites, but that will take some time. Availability of land in high-demand areas is one challenge but, as well, for everyone who wants to see expanded campsites for recreational purposes, you have another person who says, “No, I don’t want you to cut down more trees.”

We know British Columbians want a reservation system that is fair, that they have just as good a chance of securing a campsite as the next person. Every year we make changes to improve the Discover Camping system to ensure it is fair, and every year some people find new ways to circumvent the system.We are working closely with our reservation service provider to determine what changes

can be made for next year to close loopholes.

While our main challenge centres around supply and demand, we take any allegations of unfair reservation practices very seriously.

Of the 131,000 reservations made so far this year, the public has informed us of only a couple dozen incidents of people attempting to re-sell reservations.We followed up on all of those to make sure all ads have been removed or reservations cancelled. B.C. Parks also monitors social media sites for advertisements about re-selling reservations.

For the last five years, about three-quarters of reservations through Discover Camping have been made

by British Columbians. No one, including commercial operators, is given preferential treatment to reserve campsites, and the system does not allow block campsite reservations.

Some ideas we are considering to improve the reservation system include: adjusting the reservation opening dates; lengthening the three-month rolling reservation window; and shortening the maximum stay in high-demand parks from 14 days to seven days, in order to provide more camping opportunities.

We are working hard to ensure everyone has fair and transparent access to our coveted camping opportunities across British Columbia and positive camping experiences in B.C. parks.

Mary Polak is the B.C. Minister of Environment.

Chemist’s overdose secret A chemist for a Health Canada lab in Burnaby who was involved in police drug investigations across Western Canada died of a drug overdose after using some of the drugs he analyzed as part of his job.The Tsawwassen man’s death, in May 1997, was caused by a mix of heroin and cocaine. Until a FOI request by the Delta Optimist newspaper, an RCMP investigation into the death was kept secret because of its potential impact on drug cases the Burnaby lab had helped investigate.

Pipeline vital to provincial and Canadian economies

Readers show support for housing activists

Dear Editor Re: “Time to stop helping the fossil fuel economy,” Letters, Burnaby NOW, July 8.

Charles Leduc’s letter “Time to stop helping the fossil fuel economy” is in error and illogical. Firstly, about 70 per cent of B.C.’s crude (for Chevron’s refinery in Burnaby) and petroleum products enter B.C. from the Kinder Morgan line. Very little goes to Asia (he implied it all is); some does go to the U.S., and via “push tanker” to Vancouver Island and other B.C. ports. If that line shut down, so would B.C. The new Kinder Morgan line will be mainly for export, but so what? The same is true for the sulphur, grain, coal, lumber and many other commodities exported through Vancouver. All these exports generate jobs and taxes and are a major player in B.C.’s and Canada’s economies.

“Impeding the flow of fossil fuels” simply gives our markets to the likes of Venezuela and the Middle East, along with Canadian jobs, taxes and royalties, all vital to governments providing services. In my view, it is a loser strategy. If we do not supply the product, someone else will.

Instructor should get to stay in Canada Dear Editor Re: “It’s home and I don’t want to leave,” Burnaby NOW, July 8.

I really enjoyed your newspaper article about Professor David Newman from SFU. Dr. Newman is a very devoted instructor and he is passionate about the subjects he teaches. He gives constructive feedback and dedicates his free time to support students in their educational pathway, whether they are his former students or his current students.

Furthermore, Dr. Newman is compassionate and takes the time to celebrate his students’ success, such as at their graduation ceremony.

He also supports them in difficult times such as when a close one is ill or has passed away.

Therefore, for these reasons, I hope Dr. Newman obtains his permanent residency in Canada and wish to take further courses with him in the near future.

Denise Labelle-S., Burnaby

Newman’s plight needs media attention

Ryley Dorset he needs to leave New Corriganville in a 3rd century catapult.

Corrie Cullen why dont the activists buy the building, bill smith What a shock, NDP/BCA Corrigan blames the provincial and federal governments... is it the provincial and federal governments who are issuing the demoviction and building permits???? BCA/NDP has held a monopoly for too long, they are complacent and unimaginative.. completely stale.

Having no elected opposition also enables them.

Newwester Corrigan is essentially throwing lower income people onto the streets to make way for new richer people. The City is responsible for the rezoning that is making this happen, so his claim that this isn't his problem is ridiculous. Burnaby needs to throw out the Mayor and council and get some people elected who care about people who can't afford to buy property.

Consultation isn’t a priority, it seems Heather Morgan I was at the meeting too and was surprised that the any of the city councillors didn’t show up since they are endorsing the new Metrotown plan. I was also shocked that the City is willing to tear down 3000 affordable rental units to make way for high rises. The city’s consolation plan also doesn’t focus on asking the current lower income renters who will face the repercussions of these changes. When people started pointing out how consultation is done in other cities it was clear that the city plans to get this plan passed under the radar and noone will know waht is going on until they get their eviction notice.

I believe that this situation certainly deserves media attention.

To be a Canadian university instructor for over eight years, yet still fall short of the ability to be a permanent resident. I think that’s unfair and certainly falls within the “exceptional cases” that can be handled personally by the immigration minister.

“This has been a good action to raise the profile of this issue that we’ve been so distraught about,” Diewert said.

Meanwhile, over the course of the week, several homeless people have taken up residence in the building.

Carl, who did not want to use his last name, started sleeping in Burnaby streets about a year ago. Most recently, he said he was sleeping in an armchair in an alley near Imperial. At first, he refused the offer to stay in the building, but after some thought he decided to stay.

“I haven’t had a door I can lock in a long time,” Carl said, noting he’ll be back sleeping on the streets

TAKE NOTICE THAT the City Council proposes to adopt Bylaw No. 13623 cited as “Burnaby Highway Closure Bylaw No. 1, 2016” pursuant to Section 40 of the Community Charter. The purpose of the proposed bylaw is to close and remove the dedication of certain portions of highway – closure of the lane allowance at the rear of 1846/1876/1904 Gilmore Avenue (all that portion of lane in District Lot 119, Group 1, New Westminster District, dedicated by Plans 4161 and 7204, together containing 481.2 m²) shown outlined on Reference Plan prepared by Christopher Raymond El-Araj, B.C.L.S. It is proposed to place this bylaw before City Council for consideration of Final Adoption at the regular Council Meeting scheduled for 2016 August 29.

Speaking out: Carl, a homeless resident of Burnaby, will be back on the streets once the injunction to leave the occupied apartment building goes through. PHOTO JEREMY DEUTSCH

once the court order is upheld.

Over the last few days, a number of people and groups have also stopped by the site to offer support and encouragement.

Rick McGowan of the Metrotown Residents’ Association said his organization supports the protesters, and he criticized local politicians and other community groups for staying silent on the issue.

He also suggested the projected 3,000 units under the proposed Metrotown plan was a low estimate,

adding there needs to be pressure on the city to stop the plan before more units are lost.

The specific building on Imperial had 23 units and is part of four parcels of property being demolished to make way for a new highrise tower.

In court documents, Amacon said Hazmat work required for the demolition is scheduled for July 18 and is expected to continue for two weeks.The company also argued it would suffer “irreparable harm” if the injunction were not granted.

The proposed Bylaw and Plan may be inspected at the Office of the City Clerk, 4949 Canada Way, Burnaby, British Columbia, on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 8:00 a.m. and 4:45 p.m. and Thursdays between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m.

Anyone who considers themselves affected by the proposed bylaw is provided an opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting the bylaw to Burnaby City Council by submitting a letter addressed to: Mayor and Council, 4949 Canada Way, Burnaby, B.C. V5G 1M2. All submissions must be received by the City Clerk no later than Noon, Wednesday, 2016 August 24.

Frank Bonvino Occupation TEACHERS’ UNION PRESIDENT Why is he in the news?

After serving in numerous other roles over the last seven years, Frank Bonvino took up his post in the Burnaby Teachers’ Association’s president’s office this month.

Raised in Burnaby, the new local union chief attended Morley Elementary and Burnaby Central Secondary.

With a bachelor of science from SFU and teaching credentials from UBC, he

Why did you decide to become a teacher?

I decided to become a teacher because I just had a wonderful experience in the public education system here in K to 12 in Burnaby. It was a really good experience. It’s your formative years and there are certain anxieties that you go through and ups and downs, but generally speaking I thought I had a really good quality educational experience. I thought my teachers were quite professional and some of them I still look up to, I still think about a lot, and they impacted my teaching.

Tell me about one of those.

My first teacher that I was really close to was Miss (Gloria) Britland. I had her as my Grade 1 teacher at Morley Elementary School.

I was a bit of a shy kid and I was always sort of on the periphery, kind of cautious.

I think that maybe led some to wonder in kindergarten if I was maybe a little bit behind.When I was at home I would go through the ABCs and 123s and all that stuff, but when I was in school in kindergarten, I wasn’t able to reproduce that. … Miss Britland, I don’t know what it was about her exactly, but I just remember that she just sort of turned me on to the classroom and learning and that’s when I started to thrive. I remember her all the way back in Grade 1.

She passed away a number of years ago.

Why did you first get involved in the union?

has spent all his teaching years in Burnaby, too, with the last 10 at Burnaby North as a chemistry teacher.

He also has a master’s of education in curriculum from SFU. The NOW chatted with Bonvino last week about the year ahead.

Here is some of that conversation edited for brevity.

– Cornelia Naylor

I got hired as a TOC in January of 2002 just days before the government stripped our collective agreement.When we had our day of protest, I’d been in the classroom as a TOC for just a few days. And I remember listening to David Chudnovsky, who was the BCTF president at the time, and I thought he was really intelligent, articulate, and I really looked up to him.

Right away I realized that if you have a strong, intelligent voice speaking on your behalf, that’s the best path forward. … Shortly before the 2005 strike I became a staff rep. …

The reason why I started to become more and more involved is that I had a really great experience as a kid going through the public education system and I realized that, if teachers are being supported and if there’s anything I can do and other activists can do to support teachers, it’s just going to make the experience for the kids that much better.

I had a really great experience as a kid

What would you like to accomplish during your time as BTA president?

First of all we’ve got the court case.We’re before the Supreme Court of Canada in November and we’re hoping for a final decision that will come probably around the time of the provincial election, which is the next big thing.What I’m hoping to accomplish is to basically make public education a vote-determining issue for people in the com-

LEADING THE WAY Frank Bonvino, a former Morley Elementary and Burnaby Central Secondary student, has taken over as president of the Burnaby Teachers’ Association. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR munity when they go to the ballot box in May. Is this a stepping stone for you for involvement in the BCTF on a provincial level?

No. I wouldn’t say so.

Right now I plan on returning to Burnaby North when I’m done my term as president. Does that mean that if another opportunity opens up to do something else, I wouldn’t consider it? No. I would consider any opportunity that comes up. I am always going to be involved in terms of the activist piece. …I worry about the stepping stone piece in the sense that I think sometimes people are looking too far ahead, and they’re not looking at what’s in front of them at the time, and I’m just really focused on what’s going to be happening this year.

The BTA is traditionally among the most vocal locals. Is that just the executive or local teachers?

The executive, I think, really accurately reflects what’s happening in the local, and I would agree with you that we are vocal – or I use the term “active.”We’re definitely engaged and I think that’s a great thing. I think the teachers in Burnaby are well informed of what’s happening, not only in the district but what’s happening on the provincial scene.

Why do you think that is?

I think we’ve had a lot of great leaders that have come through here over time, people that are well respected, and we’ve always spoken with a common, strong voice, and I think that over time the BTA has garnered a lot of respect, and so I think that when we’re in schools and we’re speaking with staff and we’re talking about issues, I think that’s well received. And, really, when teachers become informed about what’s going on and they understand, I think that leads to more activism as well.

Do you think local teachers are engaged enough in their union?

They could always be more engaged. I think what’s happening now, and I don’t limit this to the union movement specifically but just all volunteer organizations, is that people are kind of stretched thin in terms of their work life. …

I think people are generally engaged, but it’s difficult to get people out as much as maybe you were able to in the past.

What can a local union do at a local level?

The relationship piece is really important, and we have a good relationship with our district. I like to say we can disagree without being disagreeable, and that’s really important. In the day-

to-day lives of teachers, the relationship and the advocacy of the local union is really important.

The money issues are basically dealt with at the provincial table since we moved, in the ’90s, from strictly local bargaining to a two-tiered system, it has become a little more challenging.

And that actually speaks to the piece that you mentioned before about turnout

There’s always new and emerging issues

to meetings and that sort of thing. It was a bit easier to get people to turn out to meetings before. …You felt like when you went to meetings and you participated that you had a little bit more impact on the final outcome in local bargaining. Provincial bargaining, it’s a little bit more challenging because it’s so far removed from what’s happening.

The local union definitely sets the tone day to day. It’s super important. If you look at our professional development day, for example, the district day that we put on; that’s a joint venture. … The collaboration that the union and the district have there is quite phenomenal, and the professional learning opportunities are quite extensive.

What’s the most pressing local issue?

There’s always new and emerging issues.There’s one that you wrote about the other day.The admin savings that have just been returned, there’s about $1.03 million there.The BTA’s advocating for that money to be redirected to the classroom to hire teachers.

It’s about 12 FTE teachers. …What that will do is that will help to improve class size, class composition and specialist teacher staff ratios. … If you look at local issues, advocacy is a really important one.This will be an example of where that relationship piece and the advocacy piece can lead to some improvements for teachers in the classroom.

Anything else?

I’m excited for the year ahead. It’s a big year, as I said, with the court case and the provincial election coming up and wanting public education to be a vote determining issue.The part that I want to stress is that I’m excited about the team in the office.The BTA president is the official spokesperson but is not doing the work alone.

There’s always a team and I feel like the two people (first vice-president Leanne Sjodin and second vice-president Daniel Tétrault) I have working with me are just wonderful people, great teachers and phenomenal activists.

Suite owner not pleased with new fees from city Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

If you’re a Burnaby homeowner and have a rental suite, you probably recently got your notice from city hall that new fees are on the way.

This year, the city is introducing a new part of its secondary suite program, the supplementary utility charges and garbage disposal fees.

And under the program, all property owners with a secondary suite are subject to the fees to cover the additional cost of providing increased water, sewer, garbage and recycling services for suites.

The fees are 50 per cent of the home’s charge for water and sewer services and the medium garbage toter rate.

But some residents are unhappy about the new fees and are letting city hall know about it.

GeraldineWee has an inlaw suite in her home in Sullivan Heights. She said the new fees will cost her $800 extra per year.Wee, who got

her notice last week, argued she doesn’t need a larger bin, but the city is making her get a new one anyway.

“It just seems like a really blatant cash grab at this point,” she told the NOW, adding that there doesn’t appear to be any process for negotiations.

Wee said she’d like the city to give homeowners the choice of getting a new bin,

It just seems like a really blatant cash grab and noted other neighbours with secondary suites are also unhappy with the fee changes.

In January 2014, the city allowed property owners to apply for building permits for the construction or approval of suites.

Since then, more than 700 permits have been issued for the construction of secondary suites in either new or existing residences,

according to the city.

The city also uses information provided by the B.C. Assessment Authority to find out where the secondary suites are located.

Mayor Derek Corrigan defended the fees, arguing the program was put in place for people with suites to pay their fair share for additional infrastructure.

He also suggested the program went through extensive consultation back in the day and the majority of residents with secondary suites are accepting of the fees.

“I’m not surprised that people ignore those things until the moment someone sends them a bill,” Corrigan said.

The mayor also pointed out there is recourse for any homeowner that was placed on the secondary suite list incorrectly or wants to remove the suite altogether.

If the homeowner gets a notice but doesn’t have a suite, the city will come out for an inspection to remove the property from the list.

Learn more about Still Creek City council has given the green light to produce a new walking tour guide for the Still Creek Conservation Area.

This new project, which was recommended by the community heritage commission, has been developed as a self-guided walking tour brochure that would provide a route to “discover the hidden natural and heritage highlights that have been protected by the City

of Burnaby within the developing Still Creek Conservation Area,” according to a city staff report.

The report noted the tour will use the Millennium Line SkyTrain stations at Gilmore and Sperling as the locations where visitors can start and end their walk.

Along the route, the brochure will highlight and illustrate the locations of some of Burnaby’s historical sites, such as the location

of the “Legend of the Sinking Train” and the history of the Spartan Oil Wells.

The plan is to complete and launch the brochure in time for World Rivers Day on Sept. 25.

The brochures will be available at city facilities like city hall and public libraries and on the city’s website.The city is budgeting $2,000 for printing the fullcolour brochures.

MALASPINA PRINTS ON DISPLAY

The Burnaby Art Gallery has a couple of off-site exhibitions to check out this summer.

Matrix: Perspectives from the Malaspina Archive – a compilation of all the works created at the print shop between 1977 and 1982 – is on at the Bob Prittie library branch until Sept. 18.

“The exhibition brings together the art of female printmakers working at the

Malaspina Printmakers Society between what were the turbulent years of 1979 and 1982. Further looking, analysis and questioning of these works of art in relation to the larger art historical, social and political concepts of the time ultimately make the gender of artists irrelevant,” reads a press release.

In printmaking, the matrix is the surface upon which the artist creates a

print design.The matrix – be it a metal plate, a wood or linoleum block or a lithographic stone – is inked to make an impression on a sheet of paper by pressing it by hand or through a printing press.

Meanwhile, the McGill library branch is showcasing Marty Levenson: Here and Then until Sept. 19.

Art in the Park returns Tereza Verenca

editorial@burnabynow.com

The ever so popular Art in the Park has returned to a park near you.

For more than a decade – weather permitting, of course – professional artists have brought their craft

to one of Burnaby’s many parks for the month of July, allowing participants to get their hands a little dirty.

Last summer, the theme was clay.This year, it’s all about landscape work.

“It’s creating backgrounds with oil pastels and then using acetate and

markers to add different story layers on,” explained Shelley Twist, community arts development coordinator.

The free, all-ages event has grown significantly over the last little while, she added. More than 500 Continued on page 18

Continued from page 13 features four coloured etchings and a mixed-media composition printed at Malaspina in the early ’80s together with recently created monoprints. Most of these newer prints reference the garden maintained by the artist’s wife, Jacquie.

Communitynow Take good care Unleash your inner artist next week of your body’s favourite organ Some simple steps can help to ensure your heart stays healthy DavidicusWong

HEALTHWISE

editorial@burnabynow.com

We all play favourites.

We look at the attractive, we hang out with the most fun, and we take for granted the reliable and dependable in our lives that are always there day after day.

What is your favourite organ?

You may not choose two of the most important – your brain and heart, but the rest of you couldn’t survive without them.

With every beat, your heart keeps every cell of your body alive, pumping blood freshly oxygenated by your lungs. If your heart stopped pumping or an artery was blocked, you would suffer a stroke, blindness, organ failure or the loss of your legs.

Are you living a life that minimizes risks?

So take a moment to think about your heart.

What have you done for it lately?

You can increase your odds for a long and happy life by thinking about your heart as you should your most important relationships. Are you paying attention? Are you showing care each day? Are you working to make it great?

1. LISTENING (FOR TROUBLE) Sometimes, it’s obvious when something is wrong – irregular heart beats with lightheadedness; pain or pressure on exertion in your chest, throat or arms.

Sometimes the signs are subtle and mistaken for normal aging – or being married a long time: fatigue or exhaustion, feeling out of shape and short of breath, calf pain while walking, and decreased sexual function.

Before considering vitamins,Viagra or marriage counselling, see your doctor.

2. HOW DO YOU CARE FOR YOUR HEART? The best predictors of your future health are the health of your parents and the habits you practise today.

If a parent or sibling had heart surgery, a heart attack or heart failure, you should ask your doctor to assess your personal risk factors, including high cholesterol, diabetes and high blood pressure.

Are you living a life that minimizes risks? Care for your heart by limiting salt, alcohol and a lazy, leisurely lifestyle. Don’t sacrifice long-term health for shortterm pleasure.

Enjoy the rewards of daily healthy living. Eat more fruits and vegetables and other foods that really make you feel good. If you can sit, stand. If you can stand, walk. If you can walk, then run, swim or cycle.

Butt out, get outside and live.

3. MAKE A GOOD THING GREAT Why settle for good enough when you can get great?You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone, and you don’t know great till you’ve got it.

Your heart is another muscle you can train. Unless you’ve already been a world-class athlete, none of us knows what we can achieve.

When you’re fit and strong, everyday life is easier.You’ll have plenty of energy to shop, clean, mow the lawn, get out and dance.

Everyday tasks – climbing a flight of stairs, lifting and moving – become effortless and fast.

For those with heart disease or its risk factors, Healthy Heart programs in your community can safely move you to your fittest state. Be the best you can be today.

Continued from page 17 participants dropped in on the one-and-a-half-hour sessions in 2015, while 2014 saw 300.

The program’s popularity has even prompted city staff to extend this year’s Art in the Park until the middle of August.

“There were over 70 people at some, Confederation and Civic Square last year,”Twist noted, adding the boost in numbers most likely had to do with the city’s water shortage, which caused locals to look for activities that didn’t involve

being in a pool.

The next Art in the Park session is on Tuesday, July 19 at David Gray Park from noon till 1:30 p.m., followed by one at Civic Square from 2:30 to 4 p.m.

On July 20, the event is being held at Willingdon Park, from noon till 1:30 p.m., followed by Edmonds Park, from 2:30 to 4 p.m.

The August schedule, which has the same time slots as July, is as follows: Aug. 9 at McGill Park and Confederation Park; Aug. 10 at Warner Loat Park

Metro nets three golds Local soccer teams win big at provincials Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

It was a big weekend for the beautiful game in Burnaby.

The city played host to the B.C. SoccerYouth Provincial A Cup Tournament last weekend, with local teams cleaning up along the way.

In all, three of four Burnaby District Metro Soccer teams won provincial cups and took home gold, while one team placed second with a silver.

The BDMS u18 boys followed up their league championship with a gold medal performance Sunday in a very hard-fought game.

It was the team’s fifth provincial championship.

The team has had a lot of success over the years, capturing four provincial titles, including last year’s 3-2 victory over Richmond in the u16 final.

The Lakers went undefeated in three games en route to the championship.

The BDMS u18 girls’ team also capped the season with a championship beating archrival North Van twice in the tournament.

The girls entered the weekend as the defending provincial A champions and leave as the reigning u18 champions.

It was also a big weekend for the u13 boys who followed up their Coastal Cup victory with a gold medal at the provincials.

They went undefeated through the weekend.

“It showcases the strength of soccer in our district and the great work the feeder clubs are doing with our young players,” noted a release from the BDMS program.

The u15 boys made it to the finals but fell just short, taking silver on the weekend.

The team won its first Coastal Cup championship this year and made it to its third straight provincial finals.

Organizers hailed the tournament in Burnaby as a great success.

“Burnaby District has had great success over the years, and we know this trend will continue well into the future,” the club said.

Burnaby wrestler captures bronze Jacqueline Lew sees silver lining in third-place finish at Cadet Pan American event

Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

The things learned in defeat are often the key pieces that add up to a championship win.

Coast Wrestling Academy wrestler Jacqueline Lew understands that and is looking forward to applying that principle to a match down the road.

The 17-year-old faced that exact scenario earlier this month in Lima, Peru at the Cadet Pan American championships, where a loss to American Stefana Jelicic was a tough challenge but a learning opportunity.

A two-time national champion, Lew ended up with a bronze.

While disappointed in her one loss, she could see the silver lining.

“After my loss against the U.S. I was disappointed in my performance,” said Lew in an email to the NOW from South America.

“Although I tried my best, it was upsetting to know I wouldn’t be able to capture the gold for Canada this year.

“Like any of the other athletes,

I moved forward and focused on my next match.”

That saw the diminutive, 49-kilogram grappler defeat Colombian Niyiret Perez by a 10-0 score to finish third overall.

She was joined on the medal podium by fellow Coast wrestlers Calista Espinosa, who took bronze with a bounce-back win over Tory Marrufo of the U.S. in the girls’ 40-kg division, and Alexia Seal, who corralled bronze in girls’ 43-kg.

Burnaby Central student Sara Brinkac split her two matches in the 60-kg division, blanking Peruvian Alexa Vera Mercado 10-0, before falling to Mexico’s Monica Nava Solis.

Lew came into the competition feeling hungry, having successfully repeated as Canadian champion while moving up a weight division this past spring. But that step up – from 46 to 49 – presented challenges both physically and mentally.

“Prior to (Peru), I was feeling confident in my training and wrestling. In order to mentally and physically train for the

Pan American championships, I trained six days a week for a minimum of two hours at a time,” said Lew. “I didn’t know what to expect going into the tournament, wrestling one weight class higher than last year.”

I moved forward and focused on my next match.

A year ago, she claimed the cadet national crown without surrendering a point and followed that a day later by sweeping past her rivals at the national team trials.

In April, she decisively won her weight class at the Las Vegashosted U.S.Western Regionals.

Having faced a lot of tough competition in the past two years, the determined teen has turned a tough spot into a winning throw.

Last week’s loss presented a different kind of challenge, but one she answered positively.

“I was happy that I came back

after a loss. It was nice to finish the tournament on a good note after losing my very first match,” she said. “All my teammates were cheering me on, and before I knew it, my hand was raised.

“The joy and happiness I shared with my coaches and friends was a feeling I’ll never forget.

“I’ve met so many coaches, athletes and parents on this trip.

I’ve also been fortunate enough to experience the different culture in Peru. Overall, I would say the best experience I have taken from this trip is all the different wrestlers I have been able to train and wrestle with.”

Under the tutelage of Burnaby-based Coast Wrestling coach Frank Mensah, as well as a list of coaches including at Simon Fraser University and her high school, Lew has reaped the rewards of their knowledge.

She continues to chase big dreams – having put full-holds on others before.

Her next tournament on behalf of Canada is the worlds in Georgia come September.
