‘I can’t bring back 100-year-old trees’ Resident shocked by trees cut down to make path wheelchairaccessible By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

For years, Parvin Chami has fought to protect the trees and green space behind her Burnaby home for future generations. Chami, the chair of the Friends of Discovery Park neighbourhood group, lives on Kalyk Avenue not far from Burnaby Hospital. She always assumed if any work was going to happen on the trees in the area, she’d get a courtesy call. The longtime Burnaby resident knew that some work was going to take place along the path, which leads from a laneway on Kalyk to Gilmore Way. But Chami was shocked to see exactly what was happening at the site Wednesday. A number of trees along the path had been cut down by construction crews. Continued on page 4

HOUSING COSTS

City blasts province for $1.53 billion in taxes By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

As the number of real estate purchases by foreign buyers continues to drop in Burnaby, city politicians are once again taking aim at

the provincial government for the affordable housing crunch facing the region. City council recently approved a pair of recommendations, including a request that Metro Vancouver gather municipal views on

the province’s new Housing Priority Initiatives Fund. They’ve also asked that the provincial government consult with local governments on data collection and analysis as it relates to the property transfer tax.

But it was the information inside the staff report related to the recommendation that got city council talking. According to the report, the province collected more than $1.53 billion in prop-

ty transfer tax was having a larger effect on the rising cost of housing then the costs cities are adding on to new developments like development cost charges. “They (the province) take Continued on page 9

MISSING

Report spells out city’s housing position – places blame back on province and feds By Jeremy Deutsch

Police uncover video of missing Burnaby student RCMP looking for ‘person of interest’ seen with student inVancouver By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

The mystery of a Japanese student missing for more than two weeks continues, as police search for a man last seen with her four days before she disappeared. On Tuesday, Burnaby RCMP gave an update on the case of Natsumi Kogawa and provided still images from video taken before she was reported missing. Police said investigators recently found surveillance footage from 1:27 p.m. on Sept. 8, near Seymour and Hastings streets in Vancouver.The images show Kogawa walking with a man holding a black bag inside a building.

Police have said there’s nothing to suggest the 30-year-old’s disappearance is suspicious, but there’s been no contact, so investigators are not sure what’s happened. In the meantime, police still haven’t heard from Kogawa, and she hasn’t reached out to her family back home in Japan. Kogawa is described as standing five-feet tall, weighing 100 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.

While the city has come under fire in recent years for how it’s handled housing issues in Burnaby, local politicians are hoping a new housing profile will quiet some of their loudest critics. The 100-page report, which was presented at this week’s council meeting, provides an overview of housing in Burnaby, including information on policies, programs and results. According to the report, Burnaby has the third largest non-market housing inventory in the province, comprised of over 5,900 units that includes housing co-ops, public housing, and non-profit housing. The housing profile includes some of the actions the city has taken in the area of non-market housing, including the recent proposal for 181 non-market housing units related to the Cedar Place development, construction of 390 units built through the affordable units policy, and the development of city-owned lands leased for seven non-profit and cooperative housing projects, which resulted in 302 nonmarket rental units. The city also has 32,000 market rental housing units, and another 90,000 housing units of market homeownership. Burnaby has also added nearly 5,000 units of market housing in the last five years. In market rentals, the profile noted the city has supported the market with the recent redevelopment proposals for 559 purpose built units; 300 units at Brentwood Mall under construction, 21 units at 3700 Hastings Street undergoing rezoning and 238 units at Sussex Avenue/Grange Street site undergoing rezoning. Mayor Derek Corrigan said the profile shows the city along with other municipalities have been both warning provincial and federal governments for years,

and reacting to the housing issues for years. However, he said not much attention has been paid until recently, pointing out the province’s recent announcement of $500 million for affordable housing units. “For me, it’s a recognition that they haven’t been putting the money in that was necessary to avoid this emergency,” he said. The report also suggests a lack of funding at the federal and provincial levels for non-market housing and incentives for new rental apartments, while other housing policies have been insufficient for over two decades, making it more challenging for households to find affordable housing options. “Every opportunity we get, we seize to work with the senior levels of governments to try and establish housing affordability in the community, but we said over and over again, we can’t go it alone,” Corrigan said. “We can’t be put in a situation where the expectations are all on property taxes to be able to support this.” In recent months, the city and council have taken heavy criticism for the demoviction issue in Metrotown and the demolition of older rental stock to make way for new highrise development. Once again, the lengthy report attempts to spell out the city’s position, noting the municipalities have no legal position to stop the demolitions. “From a community planning perspective, new development with increased density permits more housing supply and smaller unit sizes that provide greater affordability and a variety of unit types to more complex proposals and mixed-use projects that may combine uses permitted in different zoning districts,” the report stated.

Resident upset about loss of old cottonwoods Continued from page 1 “It doesn’t make sense, it’s not acceptable to us,” she told the NOW, noting the greenway is a popular corridor for wildlife. It’s her understanding the work is being done to build a wheelchair-accessible path, something Chami said she supports, but she ques-

tions why so many trees had to be chopped. Adding to her frustration, she said her group was never contacted by anyone at city hall about the project. “I can’t bring back 100-year-old trees,” Chami said. But city officials suggest the work on the path is all

above board. Geoff Gooderham, a landscape development technician with the city, explained the existing concrete pathway, which is on private land, was built years ago but was never well used and not very accessible. He said the decision was made to upgrade and widen

the path to make it more accessible, including for bikes. As part of the process, three or four old cottonwood trees and a couple of fir trees needed to be removed.The city issued the permits for the work. “They’re huge, and they’re old and what happens to cottonwood trees

when they get old is they start dropping great big branches and they become a little bit dangerous and hazardous,” Gooderham said, adding cottonwood trees are not the best trees to have around a publicly accessible path. He also noted the cottonwoods are being replaced

by new younger evergreen trees. Gooderham also mentioned that he would be going out to the site Thursday to make sure all the work is being done according to plans. COMMENT ON THIS STORY

“I go on board to make sure the tanker conforms with international safety guidelines.” – Captain Robert Scott, Loading Master, Kinder Morgan Canada

Tankers calling at Trans Mountain’s loading dock must comply with internationally accepted oil-handling safety protocols and best practices. If the expansion is approved, enhanced measures will make sure that risks to our waterways from Trans Mountain tanker trafﬁc will remain extremely low. We have been committed to safety for over 60 years – and we intend to keep it that way.

•

Tankers calling at Westridge Marine Terminal are held to strict, internationally accepted construction and operating standards.

•

All vessels must go through rigid pre-screening and physical inspection.

•

Only double hulled tankers are allowed.

•

Two expert local pilots are on board loaded tankers to Victoria. In future, pilots will disembark at Race Rocks, extending the piloted distance.

•

An expanded tug escort regime will cover the entire tanker route – from Burnaby past the North Shore, through the Strait of Georgia and the Juan de Fuca Strait.

•

Transport Canada’s certiﬁed marine-based spill response organization, Western Canada Marine Response Corporation (WCMRC), is on call 24/7.

•

More than $150 million will be invested in WCMRC to create new response bases, fund new equipment and employ 100 new people. This will double the spill response capabilities and cut mandated response times in half.

•

To support the ‘polluter pay principle’ enshrined in Canada’s spill response regime, there is a $1.4 billion industry fund available for response cost and compensation in the unlikely event of a marine spill.

British Columbians split on pipeline: poll Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

British Columbians are split on the Kinder Morgan pipeline, according to a recent poll by Postmedia. Mainstreet/Postmedia conducted the survey with 2,207 people on Sept. 7 and 8. “When we asked about approval of the proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion, we found opinion deadlocked with 43 per cent opposed and 42 per cent in favour,” said Quito Maggi, president of Mainstreet Research. “Despite these numbers, only 27 per cent of British Columbians believe the pipeline won’t be built, while 39 per cent believe it will be built regardless and another 34 per cent aren’t sure. Despite their own personal opposition, it does look like some British Columbians have begun to accept the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion may be approved regardless.These numbers are very similar to the ones we have found in British Columbia in previous polling.” Burnaby South MP Kennedy Stewart, who’s done

his own polling on the pipeline, said the key is in those strongly opposed. Among decided voters, 33 per cent strongly disapproved of the pipeline, while 18 per cent somewhat disapproved.Twenty-one per cent somewhat approved, while 28 per cent strongly approved.That breakdown for undecided voters was 28

There’s more people that really don’t like Kinder Morgan

per cent who strongly disapprove, 15 per cent somewhat disapprove, 18 per cent somewhat disapprove, and 24 strongly approve. “There’s more people that really don’t like Kinder Morgan, and that’s really important because that’s the group that gets drawn into political action.They’re voters, they’re donors, they’re protesters,” Stewart said. The Mainstreet/Postmedia numbers are also similar to provincewide pipeline

polls conducted by Stewart, showingVancouver Island as the most opposed, followed by the Lower Mainland, with the Interior mostly supportive. Stewart’s polling of Burnaby residents alone, however, showed sharp opposition. “Every time I did any polling in Burnaby, it was off-the-charts opposed. So much of this Lower Mainland opposition to Kinder Morgan comes from Burnaby and Vancouver,” Stewart said. The Kinder Morgan question was just one small piece of the Mainstreet/ Postmedia poll, which surveyed people on their preferred provincial political party and found the NDP five percentage points ahead of the Liberals. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.09 per cent, 19 times out of 20. COMMENT ON THIS STORY

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Sexism taken for granted unless it’s ‘huge’ This dates us, but the Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, presidential debate on Monday reminds us of the Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs tennis match in 1973. The much-hyped “Battle of the Sexes” match was between Riggs, an arrogant attention-seeker, and King, the epitome of a calm, talented athlete. Riggs had challenged all women players to take him on, and King accepted. King whomped Riggs,

but not before Riggs took an early lead. Fast forward to 2016, and, while much has changed, much is still the same. On Monday night Trump took an early lead and then got royally whomped by Clinton. If we were applying tennis rules, it would have been a fast six sets to one for Clinton. We suspect part of Trump’s problem was that he just couldn’t believe that he had to actually listen to

a woman, let alone debate with her. He didn’t prepare for the debate, again thinking that his natural superiority and intelligence would be enough. He assumed that when he spoke, even when he repeated lies, that his word would count for more than Clinton’s. But what is most alarming is not that he would underestimate his opponent so much, or that he would overestimate his own ability, but that the viewing audience could give him any

points at all in this debate. It speaks to the incredible cloud of sexism that covers everything in today’s society that viewers saw him as even remotely competent to share the stage with Clinton. Would U.S. voters accept Trump as a candidate if he were not running against a woman? Here is a man who is a pathological liar – he wouldn’t even admit he had the sniffles during the debate despite video proof –

who panders to racists, bankrupts working people, gloats that he doesn’t pay taxes, and dehumanizes women and the disabled. And yet polls suggest he is only two to 10 points behind Clinton. Pundits suggest his popularity relies on followers who are white, poor and feeling left out of the American dream. It’s an economic and cultural backlash. But sexism is somehow, most of the time, not worth examining.

Really? When Barack Obama ran for president, race was front and centre as a discussion point and factor in the election. As it should have been. This time around sexism becomes the topic only when Trump’s outrageous comments and actions are called into question. Sexism is just so ingrained in our lives that it takes an overblown sexist like Trump to even get our attention. Otherwise, sadly, it’s business as usual.

MY VIEW BURNABY FIRST

How council can ﬁx housing Our NDP-based BCA councillors have caused mass demoviction and are now even in denial that they have any power over zoning for rental housing. But a complaint to the B.C. Ombudsperson supported by the Burnaby First Coaltion (BFC) – Burnaby’s other civic party – has apparently forced them to follow the law and amend the Metrotown Community Plan. Their draft plan finally reveals their unstated goal of wholesale destruction of the entire Maywood community, which means evictions for thousands more people, primarily lower-income families.We members and supporters of BFC suggest some practical tools available to BCA councillors. Each councillor has the same single vote on rezoning applications as the mayor. Property owners only tear down existing buildings with council’s permission to rebuild. So any five of the eight BCA councillors can stop demoviction cold simply by voting “no” to supersize rezoning. They could also vote to ensure that Maywood maintains its character as a diverse neighbourhood rather than create a gridlocked forest of condo towers.This implies leaving some existing buildings standing, lower heights for new highrises, encouraging more space for jobs in light industry, streetfront shops and restaurants. And including community institutional zoning for grassroots community organizations.

To address demovictions already caused, five councillors could consider several options: 1. Fix Burnaby’s bylaw definition of “affordable housing.” Currently it includes any “designated rental units” with no indication of the actual cost for tenants. 2. Insist on one-for-one replacement of existing rental stock: requiring developers to provide equivalent-priced rental suites for demovicted residents in proposed condos. Help developers meet this new requirement. 3. Invest the $35.8 million in Burnaby’s special account for affordable and special needs housing made up of 20 per cent of all the density bonus payments. It was set up by former BCA Mayor Doug Drummond and his council, including Derek Corrigan. For example: councillors could replicate the 27 single-family, owneroccupied, row-houses builtby Habitat for Humanity on Government Road. This affordable housing was built back when the BCA still respected community-based action in support of local residents unable to pay full market price, in the spirit of NDP founder Tommy Douglas. 4. Release more of the 403 properties paid for and owned by Burnaby residents that the city holds “for resale” (not for parks or roads).The latest city financial report puts their value at $102 million, but that Continued on page 7

Daycare with a dark side

A six-month investigation that started with a citizen’s tip led to the seizure of about $50,000 in stolen goods from a fencing operation being run out of an unlicensed Metrotown daycare. A pair of young children were in the daycare at the time police executed the search warrant. Items seized included several limited edition Robert Bateman prints, jewelry, electronics, a signed Wayne Gretzky print, clothing and appliances. Police believed most of the property had been stolen by professional shoplifters.

Don’t raise the speed limits on Capitol Hill

Homeowner upset about suite charges

Dear Editor I live on Capitol Hill and, in recent years, Burnaby has installed 40 km/h speed signs on the hill, due to the shortness of streets, no sidewalks, ditches and the limited vision on the hill due to the numerous winding roads. It is not a safe place for pedestrians, but the lower speed limit did remind motorists to slow down. I called the city to advise them that the sign at the intersection of Sea Avenue and Capital Drive was missing, and I was advised it is the city’s intention to remove the 40 km/h signs from the hill. Not only is this a waste of taxpayers’ money already spent, increasing the speed limit to 50 km is a danger to pedestrians walking on the roadway, for lack of a sidewalk to walk on. It makes more sense to leave the signs and encourage the RCMP to do random speed checks. It’s like a freeway on the hill during rush hour from commuters cutting through the hill in order to miss the traffic on Hastings Street. Anita Dick, Burnaby

Housing solutions Continued from page 6 is a gross undervaluation based on purchase prices from as far back as 1918. Note: the planning department says it is “the most transparent in the region,” but the city has refused to release addresses of these properties to us upon request.The city sold some to the developers of supersize towers, so presumably they can find these mysterious addresses. For the rest of us, it will take a Freedom of Information action. 5. Undertake genuine public consultation – as opposed to the current predetermined, rubber-stamp BCA variety.This could incorporate creative rezoning which combines new lower-cost residential units with other non-profit, light industrial, or city-owned properties in Maywood and elsewhere. 6. Involve Burnaby in the MetroVancouver affordable housing plan now taking shape with promises of $855 million fromVictoria, $150 million from Ottawa, and $250 million in civic-owned land from Vancouver. The BCA is the only reason why Burnaby is not already part of this effort. Their talk is “inclusion” and “diversity,” but their walk is elitist, undemocratic, and destructive to our city. Maywood residents fear demoviction from their homes and displacement from our community. We of the Burnaby First Coalition understand this issue and invite our fellow residents from all walks of life to join us in creating a plan for intelligent, humane redevelopment. This opinion piece was submitted by members and supporters of Burnaby First Coalition: Janice Beecroft, David Field, G. Bruce Friesen, L. Jey, Charter Lau, Heather Leung, Earl Pollitt, K.Theiss, HelenWard andY.L. Wong.

MikeB The blame is on the Assessment Authority as they should confirm that a suite is being used for rental before they start sending incorrect info to the city. This will cause a ton of work for inspectors as people will be lining up for inspections of supposed secondary suites. bill smith All of this could have easily been avoided if Mr. Main would have agreed to place a BCA/NDP campaign sign in his yard.

the drive is complete, each location will have donated enough food to fill a Craftsman Collision courtesy car,” noted the release. Last year, the Make a Dent campaign raised more than $40,000 for the Salvation Army.

YOGIBO CANADA OPENS AT METROPOLIS The creators of “funiture” are set to open their second Canadian store this weekend.

Yogibo, which sells luxury “new age” bean bags, is celebrating its grand opening at Metropolis at Metrotown on Saturday, Oct. 1. Shoppers can stop by and try out one of the many products available, including chairs, toys, ottomans, accessories, pillows and more. (They even have a line of outdoor bean bag furniture and accessories.) For more information on Yogibo, go to ca.yogibo.com or visit the Metropolis store.

Council slams provincial efforts with new tax Continued from page 1 more money in the property transfer tax then we take with all of the charges we put on for them [developments] to provide the infrastructure in our communities,” he said. “What do you get for the property transfer tax? That would be nothing.” Corrigan also argued if the province had put just a portion of the transfer tax each year into providing so-

cial housing, it could have done a lot of good to alleviate the housing crisis. “This problem wouldn’t exist,” he said. The Housing Priority Initiatives Fund, which is being proposed for provincial housing and rental programs, will receive an initial investment of $75 million from revenues from both the property transfer tax and the new additional tax on foreign buyers.

Last week, Premier Christy Clark was in Burnaby to announce $500 million for affordable housing units, with part of the funding coming from the 15 per cent foreign owner property tax But council was quick to criticize the foreign buyer tax. Corrigan said he isn’t confident the tax will provide the source of funds the provincial government claims it will bring, while Coun. NickVolkow sug-

gested there are lawyers out there trying to figure out how to beat the tax. He also said organizations like the Canadian Revenue Agency and the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada have turned a blind eye to the foreign buyer issue, adding the province’s finances are reliant on real estate. “Everything that goes up must come down and when it (the real estate market)

comes down, it will be epic,” Volkow warned, calling the recent announcements by the Liberal government a “farce.” Meanwhile, the number of real estate transactions involving foreign nationals appears to be in a steep decline, according to the province’s latest numbers. Between Aug. 2 and Aug. 31, the number of property transfers in Burnaby that involved foreign nationals

was just five, or one per cent of the 494 total transactions for the time period. That’s compared to the 262 transactions, or 24 per cent of the total transactions that involved foreign nationals in the city from between early June and Aug. 1. The total value of the property transferred in Burnaby by foreign nationals after Aug. 1 was $2 million, compared to $221 million in June and July.

Peoplenow PROFILE

Stephen Collis Occupation PROFESSOR AND POET Why is he in the news?

What happens when a poetry professor gets mixed up in pipeline politics? He gets sued for $5.6 million and then pens a book inspired by the 2014 protests on Burnaby Mountain. SFU professor Stephen Collis was one of the Burnaby Mountain Five, a group of pipeline opponents named in Kinder Morgan’s multimillion-dollar civil suit. The oil company brought the case forward to secure a court injunction against protesters in the fall of 2014. Collis’ new book, Once in a Blockadia, is a meditation on our relationship to the natural world and how our ability to shape it has ushered in the new Antropocene Era, marked by human activity and its

Tell me a bit about the title, Once in a Blockadia? Blockadia is a term that Naomi Klein has been popularizing. … Blockadia is a term some activists in the States have been using to describe the fact that wherever resource projects go, they cause destruction at a local environmental level, and, of course, they contribute on a global level to climate change. … So the idea of Blockadia is sort of fluid and global, that wherever those companies go, resistance rises up front the grassroots. What about the book itself? The book is very contemplative and philosophical. It’s not rally poetry, protest slogan kind of poetry. My own sense is this is an incredibly complicated issue.We’re looking at a world, where more and more we realize, we’ve kind of made a mess. But we also don’t seem to know quite what to do to get out of it. It’s kind of like when you’re in a bad relationship. We’re in a bad relationship with our economy, and it’s kind of abusive, but we have no idea what to do about it. … I find that tension of being in that space, where

impact on the Earth. Collis also engages Romantic poet William Wordsworth, who wrote about an idyllic natural world that was, in reality, shaped by people. Collis will be promoting the book on Monday, Oct. 24, from 6 to 8 p.m. in room 7000 at SFU’s Harbour Centre in downtown Vancouver. He will be joined by SFU molecular biologist Lynne Quarmby, also one of the Burnaby Mountain Five. Collis will give a reading, and Quarmby will speak on the latest developments in climate science. The book came out on Sept. 9 and is available in local bookstores and Chapters. – Jennifer Moreau

REFLECTIONS SFU professor Stephen Collis has penned a new book of poetry, Once in a Blockadia, inspired by his experiences protesting the Kinder Morgan pipeline on Burnaby Mountain. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER you’re damned if you do, damned if you don’t kind of thing, very productive, to write imaginatively in that area. …. And also the mindset of people who suddenly go: “You know what? I’m just going to stand up and do something. … I don’t know what else to do, but I know this is wrong and we can’t keep doing it. There are so many regular people right here in Burnaby that had that feeling, right? I don’t know what to do but this is horrible, and I can’t just sit there and watch.

We all sort of stood around and said: This is horrible

You were one of those people.You were one of the five named in Kinder Morgan’s civil suit.What got you to cross that line? It’s a little bit of that it’sin-your-backyard situation. … It was easy simply to come down from the hill to where the work was happening and find other people that have simply shown up because they live in the neighbourhood. And we all sort of stood around and said:This is horrible.We don’t think this should be

happening.What should we do about it? And suddenly you are organizing, literally from the grass roots up, just with people in the area. The book description mentions a conversation with the long-deceased poet William Wordsworth.What do you two talk about? He’s sort of quiet (laughs), being 200 years dead. He’s sort of famous for being a poet that celebrated the natural world and its beauty, etc. … And I think he wrote about it in a complicated and interesting way that’s still relevant. That is the area he wrote from is called the Lake District in England, which today is a very picturesque place. But in his own time, as it is today still, it’s really a working environment. It’s a place where, for thousands of years, people (have herded) sheep over those hills. There’s nothing really natural about it. Probably, 2,000 years ago, it was forested and there aren’t trees anywhere right now. People have absolutely shaped that landscape and yet managed to exist in it in a balanced sustainable way. …They herd sheep and produce wool and produce meat, that sort of thing.To me that’s fascinating. We know him to be someone that celebrated the natural world as this beauti-

People and the planet: The protests against the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion are an example of Blockadia, a term Stephen Collis uses to describe the resistance that follows major resource projects. PHOTO NOW FILES

ful, pristine place he would go and he’s so inspired by, it was all about a working economy that was sustainable, people could exist in that world.To me that’s a real lesson. It’s almost like going back now, and how do we do this, because we’ve made a real mess. You mention the Anthropocene Era as well? How does that weave its way into the book? That’s what it’s all about in a way. … We clearly have this incredible power to affect our environment and in totality the whole planet.We can step back from that and

look at it, like: Holy smokes, can we affect it in a good way? Can we affect it in a positive way on that massive of a scale?

I’m absolutely fascinated by that place we’re stuck in.

So, I think it’s part of what I am, in a small way, thinking about in this book of poetry.That level of massive impact, little things like

our desires, our needs. I love that video game, that product I buy, I love my iPhone, I’m talking to you on it right now. But what has the iPhone done? It’s product of the Anthropocene and it’s a cause of the Anthropocene.This object that’s so handy and convenient and hip and cool. So, I’m absolutely fascinated by that place we’re stuck in, and I really am trying to write about that.

#FLASHBACK FRIDAY TODAY’S SMILE:

In October 1984, 20-year-old Denise took time out of her busy schedule to pose for a photo for the NOW’s Today’s Smile feature. A riding instructor at the time, Denise said she spent most of her time outdoors and loved her four horses. Other information included in her write-up was that she was an Aries and had recently auditioned for a part in a movie and her prospects of getting it “looked good.”

Community now Care home slated for replacement

Coming soon to your doorstep COMMUNITYE

Donors needed to help fund construction of new seniors’ complex Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby seniors’ complex is constructing a new care home that will be ready in 2019, and the non-profit society that runs it is looking for donors to help fund the project. New Vista Society is building a new 240-bed, seven-storey building in a plot of land next to its current building, which is roughly 40 years old. “That’s about the lifespan of a care home. It’s got solid bones, but it’s time for it to be replaced,” said Darin Froese, New Vista’s chief executive officer. “It doesn’t meet modern design standards.” Froese said the new building will have a better fire system (the current one does not have sprinklers), larger hallways and smaller “villages,” or gathering areas, to help with infection control. There will be no real increase in beds, as the old

care home has 236, but there will be four new private-pay beds for seniors who need temporary care. The Fraser Health Authority, however, is raising the per diem, per capita funding from $150 to $200 for the new building.That translates to roughly halfan-hour of more daily care per resident. New Vista is throwing in a plot of land worth $12 million and $3 million in cash, but the society is also looking for donors, as the project comes with a $58-million price tag. New Vista plans to take out a $43 million mortgage and repay it with the Fraser Health funding and residents’ regular monthly fees. The public donations would help cover the costs for a roof-top patio garden, IPads for the care staff, and a bistro where families and residents can enjoy meals. “(We’re working) to build partnerships with philanthropists that want to buy into the vision of seniors’

care in the community,” Froese said. Froese said the society is also in talks with the Korean community to make culturally sensitive improvements, like having Korean menu items and cultural events. “We’re working on a partnership with a major partner in the Korean-Canadian community,” Froese said. “If we look at who’s housed in our affordable seniors

housing community and care home, we already have 25 to 30 per cent Korean. This would just formalize the partnership.” Construction of the new care home will start in 2017, and it should be ready for residents by 2019. To get involved as a donor, visit www.newvista. bc.ca or call 604-521-7764

editorial@burnabynow.com

Kirk Smith plays six of the 40 roles in the Arts Club’s production of Baskerville – A Sherlock Holmes Mystery. It gives him a real workout, he says, not just for his thespian talents, but athletically as well. Baskerville is on stage at the Stanley Theatre until Oct. 9.

We all have to work to splitsecond timing

Except for the two leads, Holmes and Watson, the other three actors – including Smith – are in and out of costumes (sometimes right on stage) off and on the stage at dizzying speeds. Meanwhile, the audience is kept busy watching not

just the story but the special effects, which move as fast as the actors, with rooms coming in and off stage, moors and castles projected on moving screens, and mists coming across the moors all orchestrated by set and lighting designer Ted Roberts. Smith’s main role is as a handsome Texan who comes to claim his heritage, after the old lord dies under mysterious circumstances. As the heir, he romances a local beauty and shows off his dancing and fighting skills, all with a Texas accent. Smith, who’s a Burnaby resident, is also the maid who scrubs floors, a tobacco seller, a detective and a servant, and doubles as his predecessor. “We all have to work to split-second timing, but I think Lauren Bowler, the only woman in the cast, has to work the hardest, zipping out of boys’ clothing into fancy dresses and wigs and back again,” Smith laughs.

New Home Sales in Metro Vancouver Predicted to Break Records in 2016: Expert

he trend for new home sales in Metro Vancouver is looking like it will be a record-breaking year, despite a slower August than last year, according to real estate marketing firm Fifth Avenue. Speaking to REW.ca editor Joannah Connolly on the Real Estate Therapist show on Roundhouse Radio 98.3FM September 10, Scott Brown, president of Fifth Avenue, said that between 18,000 and 20,000 new homes are expected to be sold across the whole year, outstripping even the 10-year high of 2015’s 17,000-plus sales. The real estate marketing company’s second-quarter report says that 12,968 new multi-family homes were sold in Metro Vancouver from January 1 to June 30, 2016 – “possibly the greatest half year total ever,” according to the August 31-released analysis.

This first-half total represents more multi-family sales volume than the full-year figures posted from 2010 to 2012, which were in themselves considered “healthy” years, said Brown. Brown added that early figures suggest that July’s new home sales were “reasonably strong” and then there was a cooler August, which he described as a “hangover” from the introduction of the foreign buyer tax August 2. “The hangover is now lifting,” he told the Real Estate Therapist show. “We think that this August will be more like August of 2014, rather than last August, which was a really hot August with no seasonality. “We’re expecting that demand will lift again and absorption will rocket through the fall. We’re already starting to see it at the sites that we monitor. Some sites didn’t even see a

quieter August, so it varies neighbourhood by neighbourhood.” He added, “We won’t be talking about the tax through October and November. What we will be talking about is that prices now have stabilized. The price gains we have seen will be sustained but we won’t continue to see those incredible price increases. Buyers will realize that they don’t have to buy immediately, but that they do need to buy, because the supply of new housing is still so constrained and standing inventory of new homes is at all-time lows.” Brown pointed out that most of the media coverage of real estate is focused on resale figures, and that it lacks the balance of additional statistics on new home sales. “I’ve been involved in the real estate industry for the best part of three decades, and there’s is no other industry where you

would rate the success or health of the industry based on the sales level of a used product,” Brown pointed out. “Yes, homes trade, and it’s an important indicator of market growth and conditions. But last year, there were 17,000 new, neverowned homes sold, and the majority of those were never reported about in the media, and the vast majority of them never appear on the MLS… And we need to be looking at that segment of the market and saying the new home market is extremely healthy, and why is nobody looking at that?” To listen to the full discussion, go to roundhouseradio.com, and click on “Ways to Listen” and “Listen on Demand” then use the drop-down menu.

Building that on-ice synchronicity Lake trio

Skating is still the focus as Burnaby’s DanielleWu works with a new dance partner Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Synchronicity doesn’t come easily – especially when you’re dancing on ice. For Burnaby’s Danielle Wu, her ice dance passion had been cemented with a four-year long partnership of stability and comfort.That is, until the partnership with fellow Burnaby native Spencer Soo ended in 2015. Ice dancing has no room for the solitary skater. Passionate about her sport,Wu sought someone who could match her intensity, exhuberance and skating style to get back on the national and international competitive sheet. Thanks to social media and the fellowship of the ice dance community,Wu found her match, in of all places, Italy. In the time since she first linked arms with Nik Mirzakhani, the ice has become a fun challenge and exciting stage for the softspoken 18 year old. But it means a lot of patience and learning. “We both, especially with (Nik) coming from Europe, have different skating styles – so it’s not what I’m use to,”Wu told the NOW. “We both have to make compromises: ‘I like how you’re doing that, I want to try doing that’… Of course it’s changing the core of our skating skills so it takes time. “There’s a lot of patience on both our parts but I think we’re slowly getting there.” With just over 12 months of training, the pair have established good chemistry, representing Canada two weeks ago at the Junior Grand Prix in Ostrava, Czech Republic, where they placed seventh overall. “It was a great trip, a great experience. It was bonding for us and bonding with other Canadian skaters. Honestly it was a once-in-alifetime experience,” said Wu. For Mirzakhani, his search for a new partner meant not only learning another skater’s style, but also absorbing a new culture in a foreign country, all while trying to master English. “It took me a week to understand that we’d keep trying or not, and just trusting the coaches and their work and trusting each other,” Mirzakhani, 20, said. “It helped us to spend this time together, and now we’ve got more connection, it was our first year together and hopefully we get better and better.” That those coaches were internationally known Megan Wing and Aaron Lowe helped establish confidence in his decision to relocate. Wu spent the previous four years teamed with Burnaby’s Spencer Soo, reaching such pinnacles as a Canadian novice national title in 2013 and back-to-back fourth place results at the Canadian junior championships. They also competed at three Junior Grand Prix events, finishing as high as fifth. When they parted ways,Wu’s love of skating meant she needed to find someone with a similar intensity and passion to compete. And social media proved to be the matchmaker. “In our sport trying to find a partner is a little like dating.We have an online system where we put out profiles, our previous accomplishments, our height, weight, all that pizzazz,” the Moscrop Secondary alumna said. “So we found each other – well, I messaged him first saying, ‘Hey, I’m looking for a partner, are you interested?’ And he was, and he came from Italy for me.” Mirzakhani had won the Italian junior ice dance title in 2014 alongside Valentina Gabusi. The difference between her two dance partners is pretty significant, she notes. “Spencer was a quiet person, while Nik is

the life of the party,” said Wu. “They are both very smooth skaters with great knee bend and lots and lots of power. However, Spencer was very controlled and precise in his skating, whereas Nik has more of a wild and free feel – which is not a bad thing.” The development of chemistry and synchronicity is one that takes time, said Wing. “It’s a big challenge,” said Wing, who with Lowe competed at the 2006 Olympics and a string of World championships. “(Soo was) her first partner, so finding a new partner and getting to know each other is a big challenge, never mind the cultural and language elements. “The keys for them is finding out how to compete and compete the best as a team. When they work together well things go very well. But when they’re a bit inconsistent in training, it shows in the competition.” The pair have had a handful of competitions to measure their progress, and feel the hard work is paying off. “We wanted to look strong (in Ostrava) and we wanted other teams to know that we are there, we are going to fight for these two spots

at the junior worlds,” said Mirzakhani. “It’s kind of (like a) dance partner, the guy usually has a very strong lead but at first it was like ‘I’m trying to guess where he wants me to go,’” said Wu. “Over time I’m sure we’ll know where we need to be and where he wants me to be. I’ll try my very best to be there, to make the skating easier.” Their marks in Ostrava fell short of another Junior Grand Prix assignment, but the duo are focused on the next major tests ahead – regions, provincials and an eye on a top-two showing at nationals. In the meantime, refining their routine and smoothing their physical chemistry is the focus. “You sometimes don’t need to speak, you know what this person is wanting.Your communication gets really developed,”Wu said of a perfect partnership. “Having to restart that over again, we’re getting there, slowly. At the beginning it is frustrating, ‘Why doesn’t he just get me?’ I think we’ve found a new appreciation for each other, with the whole language barrier and everything.”

It’s not often one gets the chance to represent their country – but when Rugby Canada calls, players jump at the chance. Three Burnaby Lake Rugby Club players got the call and will be among the Canada A lineup for the Americas Pacific Challenge, a new tournament to be played Oct. 8 to 16 in Uruguay. Ryan Ackerman, Lucas Labornoz and Admir Cejvanovic were among those named, as well as former BLRU player Rory McDonell, who’ll all be making their debut for Canada at a 15s tournament. “I’m pretty excited about it, because its the start of a new World (Cup) cycle and a chance to get some international experience is always good,” said Cejvanovic. For the Burnaby Central alum, playing for Canada is nothing new. Cejvanovic spent the past few years as a member of the Canadian 7s in pursuit of an Olympic berth. However, getting a chance to wear the Maple Leaf in 15s is an exciting opportunity for the 26 year old. “Just being in the (national team) system the last three years has definitely helped me get comfortable,” said Cejvanovic. “I come into this with a lot of confidence, but knowing that it’s very different.” He noted that the largest difference is where the biggest emphasis is in each – at 7s the games are just 14 minutes in length and explosive speed is the main element.The 15s game is played over 80 minutes and paced quite differently. “Training for the 7s is almost like some kind of job, and it demands more repetitive work,” Cejvanovic said. “I wouldn’t ask a 15 (player) to make a spin toss or go on a number of 80-yard dashes.” Ackerman, a former Canadian Football League lineman, noted that the Americas is an opportunity he’s been chasing for some time. “For me, it’s a massive honour to go out on the field and put on the Maple Leaf. It means the world to me,” noted Ackerman, 31. The transition from the huddle to a scrum was a natural evolution for the 6-foot-4 tight end prop.Ten years ago he was drafted by his hometown Saskatchewan Roughriders, but chasing the dream of playing for Canada has had plenty of highlights, he said. “They’re both physical. I have an aggressive mentality and like to be a game changer, and you have more opportunity to do that,” he said. Continued on page 34

These Blue Jays keep their cool Steelers fall

Burnaby over-30 team ends Howe Sound’s two-year reign as champs Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Revenge never tasted so sweet. In the two previous Lower Mainland Over-30 Baseball League playoff championships, the Howe Sound Hounds had the Burnaby Blue Jays number, rolling off back-to-back titles. This year, it was Burnaby’s turn. The Blue Jays capped a near-perfect season Sunday with a 9-3 victory over Howe Sound at Robert Burnaby Park, clinching their second title in four years. The pitching tandem of Jeff Weisgerber and Jeff Ammer held the visiting Hounds to just one earned run over nine innings, and helped steady the squad after Burnaby fell behind 2-0 early in the game. Cranking a pair of home runs for three RBI was Reid Wildeman, doing a decent Josh Donaldson impression with the stick. A key turning point, from

The Grandview Steelers still own regulation time. If there’s a pimple to their strong start, its a pair of overtime losses that wipe the ‘perfect’ from a 5-0-0-2 start. The Pacific Junior B hockey club fell 4-3 in extra time Sunday to the Delta Icehawks, after Grandview had built up a 3-0 lead in the first period. Delta tied it up with 3:56 left in the third, then netted the winner 3:43 into overtime. Scoring for Grandview were Anthony Benevoli, Mateo Coltellaro and Braeden Gurney. The Steelers host Ridge Meadows on Sunday, 4 p.m. at the Burnaby Winter Club. LIGHTS OUT TO LAUNCH BOXING CLUB IN BURNABY There’s a new boxing club opening its doors this week.

manager Rod Van Dorn’s vantage point, came in the third inning with the game tied 2-2. Howe Sound put runners at second and third with one out.That’s when a Hounds’ batter lifted a deep fly to centrefield, where

Marc Noble caught it and threw it home, where catcher Tim Wilkins tagged out the runner. “He nailed the runner at the plate with a bullet (throw), and that kind of deflated them and real-

ly gave us a boost,” said Van Dorn. Burnaby would take the lead in the bottom of the third and never looked back. The Blue Jays finished the season with an 18-0-1 record.

Continued from page 33 “(In rugby) you get a chance to touch the ball and influence where it goes. “In football, as a lineman you have your assignment, you are reading the play and making your blocks.The impact is different.” Both Cejvanovic and Ackerman said Rugby Canada and Burnaby Lake have

been instrumental in helping them get to this point. “I moved to the west coast for rugby,” added Ackerman. “I got in with the Burnaby Lake club and everyone there has been phenomenal and supportive, just as my employer (Visions Electronics) has been. They’ve helped me get to these opportunities.”

TRUTH IN ''EMPLOYMENT'' ADVERTISING Glacier Media Group makes every effort to ensure you are responding to a reputable and legitimate job opportunity. If you suspect that an ad to which you have responded is misleading, here are some hints to remember. Legitimate employers do not ask for money as part of the application process; do not send money; do not give any credit card information; or call a 900 number in order to respond to an employment ad. Job opportunity ads are salary based and do not require an investment. If you have responded to an ad which you believe to be misleading please call the Better Business Bureau at 604-682-2711, Monday to Friday, 9am - 3pm or email inquiries@bbbvan.org and they will investigate.
