KOREAN WAR

‘He owes his life to them’ Ceremony marks KoreanWar Veterans Day Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Like many former soldiers, former Burnaby resident John Conway-Brown is jocular when he first starts talking about his 20 months serving in the KoreanWar. He’d volunteered with a buddy, he says; both agreed it would be a great way to get paid while exploring parts of Asia. After living in New Zealand for a year, he had joined the Commonwealth Division with the New Zealand army and spent his time driving officers around. “I had one jeep blown off the road, but I wasn’t in it,” he says. Was he ever worried? “I was too young to worry,” he said. But his tone changes abruptly when he’s asked how he feels during events like the annual Korean WarVeterans Ceremony in BurnabyWednesday. “It reminds me of the friends I lost there,” he says, his eyes filling suddenly with tears. After more than 60 years, the pain of loss has not faded. “You figure it would, but no,” he says. Another veteran attending the ceremony is Burnaby resident Soonil Hyun, who moved to Canada in 1982. Born in Korea, he was drafted into the South Korean army at age 20 and was nearly killed three times before a serious injury put him out of the war. He too speaks passionately about thoughts the ceremony brings to mind, recalling how UN forces aided South Korea when it was on the verge of defeat.

“Whenever there’s a ceremony like this, he waits for it,” says an interpreter summarizing his words. “He thinks about his own country, but not only about his own country but the other nations that were involved and helped. He thinks about them because he owes his life to them.” July 27 was KoreanWarVeterans Day, and veterans, their families, diplomats, politicians, the RCMP, Burnaby fire fighters, top members of the National AboriginalVeterans Association, the Richmond Squadron Air Cadets and members of the regional Korean Canadian community gathered at the Ambassador of Peace KoreanWar Memorial in Central Park to honour those who served in the conflict. More than 26,000 Canadians served in Korea between 1950 and 1953 – 516 were killed.

FUN AT THE FAIR:

The Kensington Community Fair went off without a hitch on Saturday, July 23, taking place in Kensington Park. Clockwise from top left: Soon Chau learns to juggle; Kael, 7, gets set to do battle against his nine-year-old brother Aras in the bubble war; three-anda-half-year-old Billy Gray takes a spin with dad, Darren; Pilar, 4, tries out the motorcycle she built from foam blocks and tubes. Organizer Ken Ryan said between 2,500 and 3,000 people came out, which he called the “best crowd ever.” Ryan and the Burnaby North Community Association put on the fair every year. Ryan is hoping more volunteers will come forward next year. Call Volunteer Burnaby at 604294-5533. PHOTOS CHUNG CHOW

REAL ESTATE PURCHASE STATISTICS

Foreign numbers on the rise Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

If you were of the belief that the slice of foreign ownership in the real estate pie was bigger than the numbers announced by the provincial government earlier this month, new stats would suggest you were right. On Tuesday, the province released a new set of real estate data, this time from June 10 to July 14, which shows a larger amount of foreign purchasers in the region, including Burnaby. A total of 117 transactions, or 18 per cent, of real estate property transfers in Burnaby involved foreign nationals.The transactions

amounted to $81.2 million, or 15 per cent of the total investment made during the time period in the city. The stats show Burnaby trails Richmond as the busiest place for real estate foreign investment in the province. Richmond was also at 18 per cent for the number of transactions but came in at 19 per cent for the total investment in dollar amounts. The provincial rate shows 6.6 per cent of transactions involved foreign nationals, with Metro Vancouver at 10 per cent. The numbers look far different than the first set of data from June released by the province at the begin-

ning of July. Between June 10 and June 29, 10.9 per cent of real estate transactions in Burnaby during that time period were made by foreign nationals. That figure worked out to $31.4 million, or 10 per cent of the total investment made in real estate in Burnaby during the 20-day period. Burnaby councillor Paul McDonell believes foreign ownership is fuelling the market in the city, suggesting the province was playing with numbers in the first release. “There’s a problem, the rich people are forcing the middle class out of it (the

market),” he told the NOW. This week, the province also announced an additional property transfer tax rate of 15 per cent in Metro Vancouver to purchasers of residential real estate who are foreign nationals or foreign-controlled corporations. McDonell called the tax a “good first step” but added if people are bringing money in and parking it for a safe haven, they’ll find a way not to pay it. “If people want to do something and they’re not straight shooters across the board, they’ll figure a way around it in a very short time,” he said.

Pipeline conditions still not met: MLA

Burnaby North MLA Richard Lee says Kinder Morgan has not met the majority of conditions set out by the provincial government for major oil projects. “At this moment, although some progress has been made with (the) NEB recommendation to the federal government two months ago, four out of the five conditions remain unsatisfied,” Lee told the NOW in an email. When asked for more details, Lee referred the NOW to comments he made to the National Energy Board outlining the five conditions: an environmental review, world-leading oil spill response, world-leading oil spill prevention, aboriginal

and treaty rights addressed and a fair share of the economic benefits for B.C. Meanwhile, Energy Minister Bill Bennett told media there’s been progress on the five conditions. “We needed some help from the federal government, and they’re showing some signs that they’re prepared to invest in some marine spill clean-up infrastructure that we believe is necessary. Kinder Morgan is doing a lot of work on the terrestrial spill cleanup work, and we created some policy here just a while ago in B.C. that creates a protocol for what happens if there is a spill,” he said. “I think we’re making progress, and I think we’ll get there.” – Jennifer Moreau

Intrigue and mayhem afoot at local institute Students from California State University take part in two-week forensic science field school at BCIT Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Dale Fitzgerald, a dummy gruesomely murdered and eviscerated at BCIT’s Burnaby campus last week, was not who he appeared to be. Before being killed and having his organs harvested for the black market, he was really Frank Fitzgerald – a sleazebag who had murdered his twin brother and assumed his identity in order to date his girlfriend, Mindy. Those are just a few parts of a crime puzzle 27 California State University students are working to figure out at a two-week, made-toorder field school being put on by BCIT’s Forensic Science and Technology Department this month. “It’s very elaborate,” said Jason Moore, a faculty member who spent about

six months cooking up the scenario. “Maybe I should write a crime novel after I retire.” The Cal State undergrads spent the first day of the field school last week combing over a mock crime scene set up by Guichon Creek. Designed to give students a taste of Canada, it replicated a provincial campground site – with a bloodied Frank sitting dead in a lawn chair in the middle of it. He, his girlfriend Mindy (an acupuncturist who practices traditional medicine) and their partner in crime, John, had been at the campground supposedly looking to poach bears for gall bladders and other parts used in traditional medicine. But while Frank and Mindy secretly plotted to turn John in for a $20,000 reward, John was preparing

to murder them both and harvest their organs – something he had done to two previous victims (including the real Dale Fitzgerald with Frank’s help) buried in the woods nearby. And he might have gotten away with it too if it weren’t for that meddling park ranger who showed up before he’d had a chance to finish the job. “I’ve probably revised it three or four times,” said Moore of the plot. “It’s had to change as we’ve worked with each of the forensic experts.” Figuring out Frank’s real identity will be tricky, for example, because the driver’s licence in his wallet says he’s Dale. “It was the forensic odontologist’s idea to do that,” Moore said. “Because DNA for twins is identical, DNA in that sense is not helpful.

You need the teeth records to identify them.” The visiting students will spend the bulk of their time at BCIT in lectures and in the lab, processing the evidence they’ve collected. After figuring out whodunit, they’ll also need to stand by their findings in a mock court of law, Continued on page 5

Man gets 13 years for arsons and shootings

Attacks were connected to Justice Institute of B.C. Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

The man responsible for a campaign of terror against innocent people who parked their cars at the Justice Institute of B.C. in New Westminster will spend more than a decade behind bars for his crimes. On Wednesday, a B.C. Supreme Court judge sentenced Vincent Eric GiaHwa Cheung to 13.5 years in jail for 18 counts of arson and drive-by shootings that occurred around the Lower Mainland, including Burnaby. With time already served awaiting trial, he’ll spend another 12 years in jail. Cheung, a Langley resident, was originally facing 23 charges related to targeted attacks against 15 victims connected to the Justice Institute of B.C. He was accused of shooting at and setting fire to homes, vehicles or property owned by the victims between April 2011 and January 2012. Four of the 23 incidents were in Burnaby. Last week, Cheung pleaded guilty to 18 charges. At his sentencing, the court heard the accused had a delusional belief, fuelled by drug abuse, that students

from the JIBC were following him and trying to break into his home. Cheung randomly selected licence plates from people who parked at the school, ran the plates and targeted them. In some cases he paid people to carry out the attacks. It was never proven in court how many he took part in directly. In handing down his sentence, Justice Austin Cullen said a strong message of denunciation is required, noting the accused waged a campaign of fear and violence against innocent victims. He did take into consideration that Cheung pleaded guilty, avoiding a trial, and that he hasn’t used drugs since his arrest. Both the Crown and defence agreed his sentence should be between 10 and 15 years. Outside the courthouse in Vancouver, Cheung’s lawyer, Martin Peters, called the sentence “very long.” “This is a significant sentence and it’s a significant sentence relevant to very serious crimes,” he said. Crown lawyer Joe Bellows said he was satisfied with the sentence, adding it should send a message to

Visit helps BCIT build connections Continued from page 4 testifying as expert witnesses. It’s the first time the technical institute has put together a field school for visiting university students.

It’s good for BCIT, it’s good exposure for the program, and it’s fun.

Dean Hildebrand, associate dean of BCIT’s School of Computing and Academic Studies, said Cal State does a field school abroad as part of its undergrad fo-

rensics program. After years of taking students to the U.K., he said the university was looking for a change. “They wanted to get a Canadian perspective,” he said. BCIT will charge about $40,500 for putting on the school, Hildebrand said, but making connections with Cal State will be the biggest benefit of the project for the institute. “I just think it’s great to have these linkages with other schools,” he said. “The professor’s another forensic expert, and they’re good linkages. It’s good for BCIT, it’s good exposure for the school, it’s good exposure for the program, and it’s fun.”

anyone “like-minded.” He also said he spoke to the victims prior to the guilty plea a few weeks back and suggested they were still traumatized but content with the sentence. Meanwhile, an investigation into some of Cheung’s associates continues. Bellows noted the person believed to have helped run the licence plates is still under investigation and was not named in court. For more than two years, no new attacks were reported after the additional 10-month spree. Then, between Dec. 31, 2014 and Jan. 13, 2015, two of the original victims received letters in the mail. One of the letters contained a warning that attacks would resume in the new year. After an undercover investigation, Cheung was eventually arrested and charged last September.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

When ‘live and let buy’ stops working It’s taken a few years, but the B.C. Liberals have turned 180 degrees on the issue of foreign buyers influencing the housing market. Starting next week, any foreign citizen or company wanting to buy a home here will pay an extra 15 per cent tax on the property’s value. “While investment from outside Canada is only one factor driving price increases, it represents an additional source of pressure on a market struggling to build

enough new homes to keep up,” Finance Minister Michael de Jong said while announcing the move. For years, Premier Christy Clark insisted there was no link and no need to even collect any data on foreign purchasers. She later conceded foreign cash probably was a factor but said she wouldn’t do anything to jeopardize any of the equity homeowners had “painstakingly” acquired. Finally, she opted to start

The main worry now, of course, is that this is a case of closing the barn door after the horse has bolted. collecting data on foreign purchases but still chose to blame the affordability crisis on municipalities for failing to approve more condo projects. So why the sudden change of tune when, for

years, they’ve been singing Live and Let Buy? Maybe they’ve started listening to the academics and critics who have been warning this unbridled real estate speculation was risky and unsustainable. Maybe they’re gen-

uinely concerned about how runaway home prices were affecting the young and the middle class. Most likely, we suspect their pre-election internal polling was telling them voters would rather see them doing something, as opposed to nothing. Whatever their motivation, we applaud the Liberals for finally waking up to the crisis even though there are still big loopholes that will allow foreign cash to flow into our market.

The main worry now, of course, is that this is a case of closing the barn door after the horse has bolted. Or more specifically, the horse has decided to move its family to the Fraser Valley,Vancouver Island or elsewhere in the country in search of more habitable pastures. – guest editorial courtesy of the North Shore News COMMENT ON THIS STORY

MY VIEW SAEED HABIB

The costs of demovictions It has been strange seeing the building of my childhood and the recent home of my grandmother occupied by protesters. When I first saw it, I felt a mixture of feelings: shock, because this hidden little gem of my childhood seemed to matter suddenly with all the banners and serious faces poking out from balconies, and sad because none of us was there holding up signs with them. Where was my family? I wondered, feeling ashamed and confused.Why didn’t we know we could have stayed and protested? Two months earlier when my grandmother got her final notice, my family was buzzing with concern. My grandmother, who became paralyzed recently, was weeping silently in her wheelchair while the rest of the family tried to come up with a plan. B.C. Housing was not a guarantee, and her pension was not about to adjust to market rent. None of us even considered appealing to Mayor (Derek) Corrigan after the aggressive series of demolitions, which had pockmarked the neighbourhood and already displaced some of the family in the past decade. My grandmother: After surviving two wars, internal and external displacement from Afghanistan, multiple tragedies due to conflict and forcible relocation across Asia to Canada, 308-5025 Imperial St. was her first home in a long time.

She lived in that suite for 15 years, where her grandchildren experienced their first snow away from war, and her Greek manager learned to decipher her Farsi, and her visitors could enjoy the Wi-Fi lent by the nice young man next door. All this community was written off with that single Notice of Eviction letter. In this city, there is a lot you can choose to un-see. For years, I have unseen the Corrigan leadership’s failure to support the working poor, despite the fact that south Burnaby was home to large numbers of refugees, new immigrants and working class families. As the foliage around Maywood Community School was cut down, we all grimaced at the suddenly stark grey neighbourhood, but none of us complained. Only rich neighbourhoods deserved their tall oaks, we understood. Soon after, the neighborhood around Maywood, which housed so many of my friends, was bulldozed on infestation charges to make way for a shiny megalith that would house the mega rich. Still, we looked away. Metrotown mall may have employed every one of us, but they obviously needed bigger wallets to enjoy the plaza. It was easy to un-see the shutdown of Station Square, too, despite the loss of cheap cafés and restaurants where so many of our Continued on page 7

Council says ‘No’ to plan City council voted in June to oppose the twinning of the Port Mann Bridge and the widening of Highway No. 1 through Burnaby.With its three TEAM Burnaby members voting in opposition, council adopted a plan to call on the Ministry of Transportation to look at options other than widening the bridge and highway and to urge the province to conduct a more thorough review of the proposed $3-billion Gateway program.

Enough with blame, we need solutions

Residents impressed with rally, not council

Dear Editor With the tentative stats showing 11 per cent of Burnaby real estate in June was bought by foreign nationals, which surely is an under-reporting, it is now time for government to act. Regardless of where this money is coming from, it is distorting the real estate market and causing repercussions across the entire region and restrictions must be put in place. But this is only the start. Despite the rallying cry for more supply, it is demand that actually needs to be addressed. We need a return to normal, non-emergency interest rates from the Bank of Canada. The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation needs to stop insuring mortgages and backstopping the banks for all but first-time buyers. The CRA needs to actually ensure rental income is reported and taxed and proceeds from real estate flipping is registered as a capital gain, as it should be. And the financial sector needs to stop the race to the bottom, which has seen Canada’s own subprime (cash back) mortgages emerge. There’s enough blame to go around. What we need now are solutions. James Potter, Burnaby

Saeed Habib is 18 years old.

Jack Burns I think there were more than a few dozens on this rally ... about a hundred, I’d say. Elsewhere, I just read those comments of councilor Volkow. CKNW: “... Facing scrutiny to improve rental stock being replaced by high rises, Volkow says implementing a moratorium policy on demolitions would be one of the first steps. ... But there are legal hurdles. ... “As far as moratoriums, we have been told, time and again, that legally we do not have the legal tools to deny people to demolish their property. ...” “ Was that a classic Corriganean response that “they want a moratorium on demolitions, but it’s too bad that they legally can’t” ... or is there more to it? Matthew This was the first protest I have been involved in and it was great. Lots of families from the area to protest Burnaby’s anti-renter teardowns.

City now ‘We never really understood what was going on’ Nikkei Centre’s Tashme Historical Project tells the story of everyday life at a Japanese internment camp Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

Howard Shimokura was just four years old when his family arrived at Tashme, one of the largest and most isolated Japanese internment camps, just outside of Hope, B.C. More than 2,600 Japanese-Canadians were sent there during the Second World War. “Pretty well all the memories I have are positive. As kids, we didn’t really know what was going on. I had friends, and we played all the time outside, (we’d) go to school. So life was very fun for us as kids.We’d hear stories from our parents, but we never really understood what was going on,” Shimokura says at a table in the lobby of Burnaby’s Nikkei Centre. As a child, Shimokura didn’t understand the politics, the racism, the adults’ anger and the years of white resentment towards the Jap-

anese. “I never really pressed my parents to understand. I was a kid, I wasn’t interested all that much in why this attitude was there,” he says. “And the community made the best of it. I’ve often thought people should know more about what went on.” Thousands of JapaneseCanadians were rounded up in the Second World War and banished from the B.C. Coast.Their fishing boats were confiscated, their homes taken away, and they were forced to sleep in livestock barns on the PNE grounds before they were sent to the Interior.The tales of terrible experiences and limited freedoms are all true, Shimokura says. “But there’s more to the story than all of that. It really is interesting to me to find out all the details about everyday life, which nobody has recorded as far as we can tell,” Shimokura says.

It’s the element of everyday life that Shimokura has helped capture with the Tashme Historical Project, in collaboration with Burnaby’s Nikkei National Museum and Cultural Centre.The project, two years in the making, culminated with www.tashme.ca, a website built on archives and stories from children who lived there. Shimokura, now 77, stayed at Tashme from age four to about eight. He discovered many details much later, while working on the Tashme project. Education, for instance, was something administered in part by the interned Japanese.The provincial government refused to fund schools inside the camps, and the feds threw in some money for elementary classes only, and many of the teachers were recent grads recruited from the interned population. High schoolers were out of luck un-

til churches stepped in with funding so teens could get an education. Tashme housed more than 2,600 people in rows of shacks – two families per shack – with no electrici-

ty or indoor plumbing. Everyone was given work, but the money they earned had to be traded for coupons to buy things in the camp. Sugar and tea were rationed, but there was a bak-

ery, a meat shop, a barber and hair salon. Shimokura’s strongest memories are of playing outdoors. “I remember going Continued on page 10

City now Website serves as reminder Continued from page 9 fishing.There was a creek that ran through the place. I remember going to baseball games, which were held on a ball field in the area, just hanging out outside.There was a small creek up the mountainside behind our house. I remember going up there and playing around, mostly by myself or with a couple of friends,” he said. “It wasn’t a concentration camp, there were no barbed wires.There were no armed guards or anything like that.” No one tried to escape, as far as Shimokura recalls, and if they did there would be hell to pay. Anyone who didn’t go along with internment was thrown into an Ontario prison camp. Linda Kawamoto Reid, a research archivist at the Nikkei National Museum and Cultural Centre, thinks the Tashme website could be the first of its kind, and she hopes it will be a template for more camps. “Worldwide, there’s nothing that I’m aware of that is like this website in terms of what it was really like

Did you know? ! The federal government ordered Japanese-Canadians to leave B.C.’s West Coast in 1942. Anti-Japanese resentment had been simmering for years, especially in B.C., due in part to Japanese success in fishing, farming and forestry. ! More than 20,000 Japanese were displaced during internment.

in an internment camp, and the best thing about it is it was put together by children who were in the camps.They were actually there,” she told the NOW. “They had their memories, but they also had questions as they grew up. I think it’s very poignant that the volunteers on this committee who created this website and did all this phenomenal research really captured the largest internment camp during the interment period, the largest and the most isolated, and really brought

it to life.” For Shimokura, it’s important to learn from the past. “If we don’t remember, it will happen again, and it is happening again with a different group of people.These stories have to be told over and over again, especially to our young people,” he said. To view the site, go to www.tashme.ca.

! The name Tashme was created by using the first letters in the last names of the three men in charge of the B.C. Security Commission, the government arm leading the internment charge. ! Internment restrictions were lifted in 1949, and Japanese-Canadians could then vote, but their property had already been confiscated and sold. ! Tashme had about 2,600 residents.

Shred Kelly

Where can you see them? BURNABY BLUES + ROOTS Why are they in the news? Folk music with a contemporary twist is what music lovers can expect of Shred Kelly, one of the many acts scheduled for the Burnaby Blues + Roots Festival on Aug. 6. Since 2010, Tim Newton, Sage McBride, Jordan Vlasschaert, Ian PageShiner and Ty West have been performing in front of sold-out shows at some of the country’s premier festivals. Their signature claw-hammer banjo riffs, layered ambient synth, powerhouse rock and sweet vocal harmonies have pushed the boundaries of the genre.

How did you guys come together as a band? We met seven years ago. Tim, the banjo player, was hosting an open mike night at one of the local bars and the rest of the band members used to go there with other groups or independently. Tim lived with the drummer, so they started the band and then he added Jordan, the bass player and I to the group. Our guitar player joined a few years ago from Nelson, B.C. We met him while we were touring. We started playing together for fun after jam night, and Tim had written a few songs. After a year, we decided, why don’t we try to tour across Canada to St. John’s, Newfoundland. It sort of has been growing since then. Where does the name Shred Kelly come from? When we first started, Tim and our drummer Ian were playing with anoth-

Their third and latest album, Sing to the Night, was released in January 2015 and made CBC’s Top 15 most anticipated albums list that year. Tickets to the Burnaby Blues + Roots Festival are on sale now and cost $60 for single tickets and $200 for a pack of four. The nine-hour event takes place at Deer Lake Park. Gates open at noon and the show starts at 1 p.m. The NOW caught up with McBride, one of the vocalists of Shred Kelly, to ask about the band’s roots and what touring’s been like. – TerezaVerenca

er guitar player, Steve, and he was in our band for the first few years. He was from Australia and he named it after Ned Kelly, an Australian outlaw, kind of like a Robin Hood figure. He dressed up one Halloween as a snowboarding Shred Kelly and named himself Shred Kelly. When they started the band, they were sort of just playing for fun and they needed a band name for an article being written in the local paper. You describe your sound as “stoke-folk.” What does that mean? On our very first tour, a friend was with us, and because no one knew who we were, we were having a hard time defining our music.We were sort of describing it as high-energy folk, folk music that gets people really uplifted and then she sort of coined the term. She said, “You guys play stoke-folk. It’s like folk music, but gets people stoked.”That sort of caught on. How would you describe your music to a first-time listener?

STOKE-FOLK: From left, Shred Kelly guitarist Ty West, drummer Ian Page-Shiner, vocalists Sage McBride and Tim Newton, and bass player Jordan Vlasschaert. The folk band takes to the stage on Aug. 6 for the Burnaby Blues + Roots Festival. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED It’s high-energy alternative folk, so there’s a lot of energy in our live show and there’s always a lot of dancing.We’re known for not leaving a dance floor vacant. What do you enjoy most about performing live? Performing live is definitely our favourite part about the music.We just love connecting with audiences and the energy of the live show.Writing and rehearsing, you’re sort of stuck and there can be a lot of hours spent alone, so performing live is when you really get to connect with the people. You’ve made the trek across Canada multi-

ple times while on tour. What surprised you the most? We’ve just found that, after years of playing, sometimes you aim to go to the big cities, but then you end up playing in some of these smaller communities and just have these very memorable nights.We’ve learned that there’s no town too small and that there is always a need for music in any community. With five band members, do you ever butt heads? For sure. It’s like a family (laughs).You love each other like a family, but you also bicker. For the most part, we get along pretty well.

What’s your biggest pet peeve while on the road? Not being able to access good food or coffee. If we have a delicious meal and delicious coffee, then we can be happy (laughs). What do you do when you’re not touring? We all have jobs when we go back home.Three of us work in child care and youth care and then our drummer does roofing. Our guitar player is a graphic designer. Are you hoping to one day make music your full-time career? I think definitely the dream is to always make it full-time.This year, we went to Germany in Febru-

ary and we’re going back to Germany in the fall, and we also did a U.S. tour, so it’s getting more full-time. Because album sales have taken a dive since streaming became a thing, it’s harder to generate revenue when you’re not touring. Your last album was released January 2015. Are you working on anything new right now? Yeah, we’ve recorded two new songs that will hopefully be released at some point over the next year.We’re in the process of recording another full-length album, so we’re writing when we’re off the road and hopefully we’ll do more recording of that album in the fall.

City now Pssst, Pokémon players, get yourself to the Heights Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

The Heights Merchants Association is the latest group to jump on the Pokémon GO bandwagon. The business association, which represents businesses along Hastings Street in the Heights, recently had some fun wandering their neighbourhood looking for Pokémon and discovered there were quite a few Pokéstops. “So we thought, ‘let’s have some fun with this,’ and kind of joined the confusion. It is a little bit silly, but what would life be without a little bit of silliness,” said Isabel Kolic, executive director of the Heights Merchants Association. Pokéstops, which are locations where Pokémon GO players can go to collect loot, including Pokéballs, in the Heights include many of the public art installations and murals, Anton’s Pasta Bar, Glenburn Soda Fountain, Admiral Pub and Instant Auto Loans.

DO YOU HAVE ATHLETE’S FOOT?

Gotcha: If you’re chasing Pokémon, then you’ll want to pay a call on the Heights. PHOTO FILE

While Kolic hasn’t talked to businesses in the area directly about the Pokémon phenomenon, she believes most would be happy to see people visiting the neighbourhood. “Anything that gets people out and about and en-

joying our sidewalks and our general stops in the area,” Kolic said. “Places to congregate, it’s a good thing.” For a full list of Pokéstops and gyms in the Heights check out the guide at burn abyheights.com.

Businessnow Donation helps Nikkei Place develop leaders

Continued from page 17 Canadians and people around the world,” Beech said in a press release. “Our government’s commitment to combatting greenhouse gas emissions means increasing opportunities for Canadian small and medium-sized inventors, like Inventys.” Small to medium-sized companies like Inventys are eligible for funding to further develop and commercialize “innovative, technology-driven new or improved products, services, or processes in Canada,” through the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program. For more info visit www. nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/irap. MORE MONEY FOR FUTURE LEADERS Burnaby’s Nikkei Place has some extra spending money thanks to a donation by the Toyota Canada Foundation.

The private charitable foundation has gifted $25,000 to the Nikkei Place Foundation to support the cultural centre’s future leaders – volunteer and mentorship development program. “Programs such as the Nikkei National Museum and Cultural Centre’s future leaders initiative encompass the Nikkei Place Foundation’s commitment to community volunteerism and mentorship,” said Robert Banno, president of the Nikkei Place Foundation, in a press release. “With the fantastic support of Toyota Canada Foundation, we are able to bring this leading edge initiative to reality.” BE A PIRATE FOR A DAY Arr you ready to feel like a kid and support a good cause? White Spot’s Pirate Pak Day fundraiser takes place Wednesday, Aug. 10 this year.The annual event raises money for Zajac Ranch for children, a place that

QX60

BY BRENDAN McALEER

Inﬁniti makes its presence known with a little more feminine ﬂare

brendanmcaleer@gmail.com Tweet: @brendan_mcaleer

Like pretty much every luxury company out there, Infiniti sells a lot of crossovers. Specifically, they sell a lot of this crossover, the QX60. But maybe you don’t know what a QX60 is? Perhaps you’d know it better by its old name, the JX35. Infiniti went through a pretty comprehensive re-naming strategy not long ago, with all their cars getting Q-based variants. Q means sedan, QX means crossover or SUV. The QX60 sits right in the middle, with the QX50 below and the QX80 above. No, you can’t use any of these names to get a Scrabble high score. The idea behind this sort of marketing strategy is to get people saying they drive an Infiniti rather than a G35 or a JX35 or what-have-you. Call it whatever you will, the QX60 is the backbone of Infiniti’s range: fully one third of Infiniti’s year-to-date sales are of this sevenseater crossover. A rose by any other name, as The Bard said, would still smell as sweet. So what kinda whiff do we get off the QX60?

Design:

Infiniti’s design language may be best described as swoopy. Where Lexus gets all angular and aggressive and BMW goes nuts with M-badges and a glue gun, Infiniti makes its presence known with a little more feminine flare. It’s no secret that the bones of the QX60 can be found in the more rugged-looking Pathfinder. Parent company Nissan takes that mud-spattered platform, hoses it off, gives it a haircut, takes it to the spa for a mani-pedi, and takes it shopping for some fancier duds. The makeover is pretty good, especially on the front end of the car. Both Lexus and Acura really feel

like they’re trying too hard by comparison – the QX is aggressive enough, but doesn’t look like it’s pulling a face. I’m less convinced by the little squiggle at the rear glass of the car. This is a design feature that Inﬁniti is working into all their models, a similar feature to BMW’s long-running Hofmeister kink. On the QX it feels a little forced. But that’s just nit-picking. Overall the QX60 is nicely cohesive, with 18” alloys as standard and 20” on the optional Touring trim.

Environment:

As a father of two, I would never recommend that any parent buy a car with a light interior. In fact, if some sort of Rubbermaid option is available, then check that box. Even so, the cream-coloured leather of my QX60 tester contrasted nicely with its dark blue exterior, and really lightened up the interior. And at least the carpets were dark-coloured. The QX60 has a number of improvements over the old JX35, while retaining the latter’s sensible packaging. The maple wood trim is subtle but pleasing to the eye, there’s extra padding in the armrests and elsewhere, and a giant pair of moonroofs add further airiness to the cabin. The best part about Infiniti basing their mainline crossover on the Pathfinder is that the Nissan was optimized for people with kids. The mid-row seats are comfortable enough for adults, but they slide very easily. The third row seats are completely fine for even teenaged kids, and each side gets its own USB charger. Tell ‘em to pipe down and start catching some Pokemon, and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Performance:

What’s not-so-great about basing the QX60 on the Pathfinder is that it’s a very soft vehicle. If you look at the rest of the Infiniti range, most of the company’s machines seem to be aimed at taking a bit out of BMW’s performance-based image. As an example, the new Q50 sedan can be got with a twin-turbocharged V6 making 400hp – that’s like a luxury version of the mighty GT-R! The QX60, on the other hand, gets a transverselymounted 3.5L V6 making 265hp at 6400rpm and 248lb-ft at 4400rpm. Those power figures aren’t too bad, but then Infiniti attaches their V6 to a continuously variable gearbox. So, if you grew up driving a Nissan 350Z or a G35 coupe, and are looking at the QX60 to provide some of those same thrills while hauling a couple of kids around, lower your expectations. Such is not this crossover’s mission. Instead, the QX60 backs up its comfortable seats and feature-laden interior with a supple suspension and muted engine noise. The suspension and steering have been tuned this year for a little more poise, but there’s still little sportiness to be found. Your kids, busy catching Pikachus and Squirtles, will thank you for the way the QX60 sort of irons out your driving, the shiftless CVT working smoothly with the V6. There’s no choice but to settle back in your seat; while the power available is enough to accelerate up to highway speeds on an onramp, the way that power is delivered is relaxing.

Features:

Along with a well-polished drive, the QX60 sets itself apart form the competition with a laundry list of features in relatively affordable packages. The basic car is $47,400, but for around $52K, you’ve got one equipped with navigation, voice-recognition, keyless entry, and the excellent 360-degree Aroundview camera system. CVTs aren’t the performance enthusiast’s choice, but they do deliver solid economy. Ofﬁcial ratings for the QX60 are 12.2L/100kms city and 8.9L/100kms on the highway. Observed economy in mixed driving was smack in the middle.

Green Light:

Smooth ride; bright, useful interior; value-friendly options packaging

Stop Sign:

Not very sporty handling; acceleration only adequate for the class

The Checkered Flag:

Popular for a reason, the QX60 is nice enough to wear an Inﬁniti badge, but still a sensible choice.

A group of employees at a Burnaby-based company known for its residential, industrial and commercial developments will face a different kind of challenge next month. Employees with Beedie Development Group are set to take part in the ninth annual Glotman Simpson Cypress Challenge in support of B.C. Cancer Foundation’s Pancreatic Cancer Research Fund on Aug. 14.

In all, two teams of four will represent the Beedie group in the uphill cycling challenge. “We’re all looking forward to challenging ourselves up Cypress Mountain,” said Jim Bogusz, chief operating officer at Beedie, in a press release. “There’s a lot of pride on the line.” Bogusz is among the company’s veteran racers and has taken part in the fundraiser four times. He first got involved after a friend was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

“I’ve lost a lot of friends to cancer but also know a lot of survivors,” he said. “Fundraising is so important; I’m thankful for Beedie’s support of our teams and financial contribution – we have to beat this disease.” The Cypress Challenge has raised more than $1.6 million since its inception in 2008. The 12-kilometre climb gets underway at 9 a.m. at Gate 6 on Cypress Bowl Road.To donate to a team or rider check out www.cypresschallenge.com.

Run from stress and fear Christine Blanchette

RUN WITH IT editorial@burnabynow.com

Many people cope with stress every day of their lives, and those who fight it with exercise are definitely on the right track – pun intended. I discovered in the late ’90s how running can help one cope with life’s curveballs while improving your physique. I was a beginner, despite having run a bit in high school. I wasn’t sure how to train properly or what it would take to run my first race. I joined a run club and met others with similar goals, and they helped get me to the finish line in my first five-kilometre run. As I trained, my confidence grew and I began to enjoy running. I was able to run 10K, a half-marathon and finally, in the spring of ’99, in the most surreal moment, the full marathon non-stop in Vancouver. Each new distance carried the fear factor like a headline on my brain. I was

in unknown territory, and who did I think I was that I should get through this unscathed? I did it by following a proper program and running many shorter road races, but there is always a nagging doubt or fear that this time I might not make it.The beauty of having some success is it breeds confidence and leads to even greater exploration of your abilities. Unfortunately, when life throws you a curveball, you tend to not be ready for it, so while my running was going well, fear came back for an uninvited visit. I had torn my hamstring and weeks of not running made me fear losing all my conditioning. Not much I could do except pool run and stay off the road for six weeks while fear was enjoying itself. But then the pain was gone. I was back running – cautiously at first – and fear faded back where it came from. Upon returning to racing this time, I could tell fear was back in the neighbourhood because I wasn’t sure of being race ready. I de-

cided to ignore my demons and in the end, I was glad to have raced as I felt good afterwards.The more races I ran, the more confident I became as mental preparation and visualization helped me achieve my goal. Still, running has been a roller coaster ride for me. Sometime I feel like I’m in the middle of a Bob Seger song. I am still running against the wind at times, but I know that it allows me to face the world on my terms. It has given so much to my physical fitness and emotional well-being. I am not running from something or someone. I am running to something – a better me! How to overcome fear is to face it head on and stare it down. Challenge yourself to do something amazing and your body will respond. And at that moment, fear will be the last thing on your mind.

As important as they are, trees and other plants can cause signiﬁcant power interruptions. Contact between trees and power lines can be very dangerous, which is why over the next few months, we’ll be pruning and removing trees and other plants in Burnaby. Project boundaries: North:

Imperial Street

STREET PARTY

WHY? Because the Burnaby Neighbourhood House is hosting its annual street party and open house from 4 to 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 10. It’s also a great opportunity to meet your neighbours. WHAT’S HAPPENING? A strip of Beresford Street will be shut down in front of the neighbourhood house (at 4460 Beresford St.). Event highlights include a bouncy castle, face painting, cotton candy, games, music and displays featuring local businesses and partner organizations. There will also be tours of the facility, so you can learn about the neighbourhood house and some of the programs they run. WHO GOES TO THIS? Residents, young and old. Everyone is invited, and past years have drawn families and seniors who participate in the neighbourhood

house programs. Some partner organizations that share the building with the neighbourhood house will be there, hosting different activities. People can find out what services they offer, too. WHAT ABOUT FOOD?

The neighbourhood house is famous for low-cost community barbecues, and this event is the grand finale for the summer. Three dollars will get you chips, pop and a hotdog. We’re told there will also be a food truck on site. WHERE CAN I LEARN MORE? Go to www.burnabynh.ca to find out more about the party, or call 604-431-0400. – By Jennifer Moreau

Life isn’t always perfect, but it’s still beautiful DavidicusWong

HEALTHWISE

editorial@burnabynow.com

What can you do when plans go awry? Accept what you cannot change; appreciate what you have, and make the best of it. I had the opportunity to put this into practice when I had to cancel my family vacation. Summer is usually the best time to take time off from my busy practice. Patients have fewer respiratory infections and with school out, many are on vacation themselves.To celebrate my daughter’s high school graduation, we had planned seven months ago to take her to NewYork and the Calgary Stampede. But through circumstances beyond his control, my locum physician had to cancel without time to arrange a replacement. Realizing how disruptive it would be for patient care, I cancelled my trip and let my family travel without me. For part of my first day in an empty home, I appreciated the quiet order. Coming home after work, there were no shoes to trip over.The dishwasher was loaded the way I like it to allow for efficient unloading.There were no dishes in the sink except for my breakfast cereal bowl. I could choose what

I wanted for dinner – and prepare and eat it alone. I made a list of things to do over the next two weeks (My wife was no longer around to write her list). Of course, the work of medical practice could consume as much as I would allow.The daily review of test results and consultation letters and making referrals consumes at least two hours after the last patient leaves the office. After the long weekend, I worked an extra Saturday morning to reduce my patients’ wait-time for appointments. I finished two medical legal reports (about 10 hours of work) on evenings and weekends. I was happy that I wasn’t out of town for the maternity and newborn care for two of my longtime patient families. I missed my family especially on my wife and daughter’s birthdays.This was the first time I wasn’t with them on their special days. I was thankful for texting, email and FaceTime. I turned my quiet home time into a mindfulness retreat. I listened to Tara Brach’s podcasts on dhar maseed.org each morning and night and throughout the weekends.They inspired me to remain mindful at all times. I chose my thoughts and my activities. I enjoyed being a tourist in my own town.We are lucky to live in a vaca-

tion destination for the rest of the world, and summer is a magical time with special community events every weekend. I enjoyed Burnaby’s Canada Day concert and the awesome fireworks at Swangard Stadium. I called up my oldest friend and we met up at Deer Lake for the VSO’s Symphony in the Park.

I enjoyed the live music at the Khatsalano Street Party. I enjoyed weekend and evening cycling through busy, beautiful Central Park, and extra swims in the outdoor pool. I cycled around my alma mater, UBC and explored the rich displays of the Museum of Anthropology. I treated my eyes and my soul to the Nitobe Memorial

Garden, a uniquely beautiful Japanese garden hidden in the northwest corner of campus. I cycled the seawall of English Bay and Stanley Park. I must have taken over 200 photos during my twoweek working staycation. Life is never perfect and may not always go our way, but it’s still beautiful. Missing the people in our lives

reminds us to appreciate them and our precious time together. Being tourists in our own town shows us the beauty around us each day. DavidicusWong is a family physician. For more on achieving your positive potential in health, see his website at www. davidicuswong.wordpress.com.

This salad has many elements, all working in harmony. I like to serve it on a large platter in the middle of the table. I like how it looks so vibrant when served at a barbecue. For the zucchini ribbons, one way is to use a vegetable peeler and it will peel into ribbons very easily. When possible, I try to use Salt Spring Island goat cheese. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of our best cheeses here; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so creamy and tangy.

Lakers locked in for playoffs

Win over Coquitlam clinches post-season spot Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Champagne corks weren’t popping on Tuesday, but the Burnaby Lakers certainly had something to celebrate. By clinching a Western Lacrosse Association playoff berth Tuesday with a solid 9-7 victory over the Coquitlam Adanacs, the Lakers achieved a big goal. Now, the list of goals expands as the squad prepares for the playoffs to begin. Dane Stevens scored three times and Tyler Richards turned aside 27 shots in his first WLA start in nearly two years, as Burnaby improved to 9-6-1 and clinched a top-four finish. The Adanacs put up a fierce fight with their season on the line, but were eliminated behind a barrage of shots and some timely shooting. “It’s nice to get it done so we can go into the final few games a little more comfortable,” noted coach Rory McDade. “(Coquitlam) made it tough but we really had a strong second and if not for their goalie would have won by a bigger margin.” Ex-Laker Dan Lewis faced 51 shots in the Coquitlam cage, including 25 in a momentous second period.That’s when Burnaby erased a 4-3 deficit and pulled even, planting the seeds for a big third. Markers by Dane Stevens and Robert Church just 1:06 apart early in the final frame put the Lakers in control. Richards, whose last game in Burnaby green was in the 2014 playoffs, made 13 saves in the third, with the only Adanac tally coming midway through the period with an extra attacker. Burnaby, who sits behind New West and Victoria in the standings, still won’t know who they face in the first round until next week when the other teams wrap up their schedule. The Lakers close out the regular season this weekend with games in Victoria and Nanaimo.

Li sets pace for Dynamo

Andrew Li picked up a silver medal in the 100-metre medley to lead the way for the Burnaby-based Dynamo Swim Club at a Surrey swim meet recently. Li, 11, also finished fifth in the 50m breaststroke and seventh in 200m breast. Placing sixth in the 100m medley was Frank Guo, who also secured seventh spot in 50m backstroke and eighth in 50m breast. Ten-year-old Kai Mader placed ninth in the 100m medley. For the girls, Hope Luo, 11, finished 10th in the 100m breast and 12th in 50m freestyle.Ten-year-old SarahYang stood 11th in the 50m breast, and Tina Ko, 16, placed 12th in both the 50m butterfly and 100m free.

Burnaby’s best to shine in Rio Eight local athletes take to sporting world’s largest stage at the Rio Olympics

Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Beginning Aug. 3 when the Canadian women face Australia in soccer at the Sao Paulo Corrinthea Arena, the world’s sporting focus will be on Brazil. Passions will be raised and hopes will be enflamed to begin the 2016 Rio Olympics, and Canada’s team will be there in full force. The 2016 Canadian Olympic team was officially announced this week, featuring 313 athletes from across the country. Among the long list of accomplished Canadians are eight athletes with strong ties to Burnaby, in a variety of sports. Christine Sinclair’s accomplishments for Canada soccer are well-known, and she has played a huge role in the nation’s emergence among women’s soccer powers since debuting with the senior team in 2000 as a 16 year old. Sinclair, 33, will captain the Canadian women’s squad with an eye towards the gold medal game on Aug. 19.With 160 goals in international competition, Sinclair sits second among women in all-time scoring. The 2013 Lou Marsh Award winner led all scorers at the 2012 Olympics – scoring three times in a dramatic comeback attempt in the semifinal. Canada is slotted in a pool with Australia, Germany and Zimbabwe. Brendan Hodge left the sport of rowing after the 2005 World under-23 championships to pursue a law degree.Watching the Canadian rowers in London four years ago rekindled the spark for the Burnaby Lake Rowing Club member, who will make his Olympic debut at the age of 31 in the men’s lightweight 4 event. Since restarting his competitive rowing career, Hodge placed fourth at the 2013 World championships in lightweight pairs and was on the men’s 4-boat for Canada’s gold medal at the 2015 Pan Am Games. Women’s 8 rower Lauren Wilkinson stood

on the podium with her teammates four years ago and wore silver, and will be competing to better that this time in Rio. The Burnaby Lake Rowing Club athlete, the daughter of former national team rowers, since then has picked up silver medals at both the 2014 and 2015 World championships. The 26 year old first competed for Canada in 2006 at the junior Worlds, then went on to a four year career at Princeton, where she was a member of an NCAA championship. The rowers hit the water from Aug. 6 to 13. Burnaby’s Gabriel Ho-Garcia has become

a fixture on the Canadian men’s field hockey pitch. At just 23, Ho-Garcia has racked up an incredible 75 caps for the red-and-white, including as a member of the 2015 Pan Am finalists. In that tournament, the midfielder counted a team-high five goals as Canada finished second overall. He was also a member of the Canadian 2012 Pan Am junior team that placed second. For Iain Smythe, the Rio Olympics is the crowning moment in a career which has seen the forward play 115 games at the senior level for Canada.The 31 year old debuted internationally in 2009, appearing in two Commonwealth Games, as well as a member of the 2011 and 2015 Pan Am Games, achiev-

ing silver at both. The Canadians open against Germany on Aug. 6, aiming to advance to the Aug. 18 final. Nayo Raincock-Ekunwe spent four years up on Burnaby Mountain as a member of the Simon Fraser University women’s basketball team. It served as an excellent learning ground for her next challenge.The 24 year old guard heads to Rio having experienced dramatic international success as a member of Canada’s 2015 gold medal winning teams at both the Pan Am Games and FIBA Americas championshipos. Currently playing pro in Australia, Raincock-Ekunwe has been in the national development stream since 2011. The Canadians top off against China on Aug. 6, with other preliminary games against Serbia, Senegal, the U.S. (Aug. 12) and Spain. Medals will be awarded on Aug. 20. Haislan Garcia, 33, is competing in his third Olympic Games.The Burnaby Mountain Wrestling Club alum advanced to the quarterfinals in London in 2012, and scored bronze last year at the Pan Am Games in Toronto in the 65-kilogram division. The Cuban-born grabbler made his Olympic debut in Beijing.This time around, he qualified in May by beating Romania’s George Bucor. Another SFU alumna will put her all on the mat in Rio, aiming to climb the women’s 63kg division. Burnaby’s Danielle Lappage, 25, overcame a torn ACL to win gold at the Rio test event earlier this year and at the Grand Prix in May.

Celebration time: The Burnaby Lakers peewee C squad soak up each others company after wrapping up the provincials last week, where they finished second. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Big silver for Burnaby

Numbers told a lot of the story. While the Burnaby Lakers fell 3-0 in the peewee C provincial final, the skeleton crew of 11 Burnaby players plus a goalie gave it their all. Going up against Comox Valley, which had a full complement of 17 players at its disposal throughout the tourney, would look like a formidable challenge, but Burnaby’s boys didn’t look at it that way. “We had a great group of boys who worked hard all tournament,” remarked coach Dan Krstic. “Most teams ran three lines and had extra players, but we didn’t have that luxury. Everyone contributed.” The Lakers entered the provincials on a roll, having gone 19-0 through the regular season. It continued into the playdowns and at the provincials until an 8-2 preliminary loss to Comox. To play five games in three days with a small roster, the team needed to play smart,

disciplined ball and avoid injuries. Luck, which in either form always is a factor in these games, was also required. It took a huge team effort in the semifinal, where they outlasted the West Kootenay rival 3-2 and had to kill a five-minute major during a crucial part of the third period. In the final Burnaby banged a couple shots off the post and scored a goal that the referees disallowed, but when the final whistle blew the coaches and parents were extremely proud of the players who limited the opposition to three goals. They matched them nearly in scoring chances, with Comox holding a slim 25-21 edge in shots. “We held our own but unfortunately you can’t argue with the officials,” noted Krstic, a first-year coach. “(The players) were all battered and bruised... I call this group the ‘Warriors,’ because they never quit.”

RUGGERS PAD RESUME The Burnaby Lake Rugby Club’s Connor Sampson helped the B.C. under-19 men’s Fifteens team collect the Canadian Rugby title 10 days ago. B.C. defeated the Prairie Wolf Pack 31-10 in the final, with Sampson counting one of the tries. It was the fourth time in five years that B.C. had emerged triumphant in the national championships. Earlier, they had bested the Voyageurs 25-15, Rugby Ontario 19-10, and the Atlantic Rock 36-15 en route to the final. In the women’s u20 championships, B.C. finished fourth. Among the players representing the province were BLRC’s Camila Maslo and Tess Woldring.

224 ST

FOURTH FOR FRANCOIS She had three excellent days, and one off day. For Burnaby’s Sumie

Francois, the difference between first and fourth could have been all that played out on the third day at the B.C. Junior Girls golf championship last week at Pemberton’s Big Sky Golf Club. The teen began the tournament with pace-setting rounds of 2-under 70 and par-72 to lead by a stroke entering the third day. Unfortunately, it proved to be a tough third day, as 16-year-old Francois struggled to a 10-over 82, including six bogies and three double-bogies. But just as quickly as it slipped away, Francois regained her form on the fourth round with another par round, giving her 296 over the four-day event. She placed eight shots back of Mary Parsons of Delta.

222 ST

Leo Harper led after one round, but Vancouver’s Ilirian Zalli plowed through the next two rounds to cart off the bantam boys title at the Maple Leaf Junior Tour’s Odlum Brown Classic-PGA of B.C. junior golf championship in Surrey. The 13-year-old Harper, of Burnaby, had a onestroke lead after shooting 3-under 69 on the first day. Rounds of 73 and 75 were countered by rounds of 68 and 72 from Zalli, 14, who won by six strokes. Finishing fifth overall was Burnaby’s Andy Luo, 12 shots off the pace after a three-day total of 223 (73, 74, 76).

WAREHOUSEMAN LIEN

By virtue of Warehouseman’s Lien, for Maple Leaf Self Storage, we will dispose of goods, namely:

Gale Brewer, 89, died unexpectedly on July 5 at his home. He leaves behind wife, Lorna, sons Kevin and Kerry and grandchildren Katie, Jenna, Steven and Julia. Born in Yankton, South Dakota, he eventually settled in Burnaby where he lived most of his life. A WWII veteran, he was affectionately known as "the Bull" at Timberland Plywood mill in Surrey where he worked for over 30 years. Retirement included traveling with his wife and friends, spending time with his grandchildren and volunteering at the food bank. In his early years he loved playing rugby and baseball but was sidelined by a knee injury. His love for sport continued on as a coach and avid fan. He will be remembered by teammates and those he coached for his dedication, competitiveness and knowledge of the game. The family thanks the many Fraser Health staff and home care workers, Department of Veterans Affairs, and his friends for helping Gale achieve his wish for independence in his final years. Goodbye "Grampa". We will miss your hugs, smiles and big heart. A private memorial will be held with family.
