jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby RCMP officer who shot a suspect out front of a home in Burnaby in May 2015 has been cleared of any wrongdoing by the Independent Investigations

Office of B.C. It was almost 1:30 in the morning on May 13, 2015, when a pair of Burnaby Mounties were called to a home on Clare Avenue.The call came in as an “unwanted male” at a residence.

When the two cops

showed up, they came across a man with a knife.

One officer pulled out a Taser, but it didn’t stop the knife-wielding man.The second officer fired her pistol, hitting the suspect in the abdomen.

The man survived. But,

like any officer-involved shooting, the conduct of the officer and her use of force would be under investigation by the province’s police watchdog, the Independent Investigations Office (IIO) of B.C. On Tuesday, the IIO

The million-dollar gift

First ‘Coldest Night of the Year Walk’ set for Burnaby

Yoshiko Karasawa treasures Canada’s generosity and values

By Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

Yoshiko Karasawa remembers feeling “free” when she immigrated to Canada nearly 45 years ago.

She left Japan at the age of 22 in hopes of a new life, one that didn’t include a class system or judgment from her peers because she didn’t have an education.

And that’s exactly what she found.

“I felt Canada was really something special,” she told the NOW, noting she went on to become a hairdresser. “I decided to come to Vancouver. I thought it was fantastic. People were very big-minded; people were generous. It was very easy to find a job.”

Since then, Karasawa, now 68, has been a big proponent of giving back to her community, which is why she recently donated $1 million to the Nikkei Place Foundation, the fundraising arm of Nikkei Place.

The West Vancouver resident has also contributed her time and expertise to other areas of the arts in Vancouver, specifically on the board of the Vancouver Opera, where she focused on introducing opera to the Asian community.

The $1 million will go towards expanding the Burnaby-based Nikkei National Museum and Cultural Centre, ensuring that Japanese culture, history, arts and exhibits continue to be promoted, stated a press release.

“She’s always been a strong supporter of arts and culture in GreaterVancouver and a very strong supporter of the Japanese-Canadian community, so we’re really ecstatic that she donated this generous gift to us,” said Robert Banno, the foundation’s president.

Banno added the expansion is still in the “early stages” of planning and staff hope to have architectural renderings soon.The newly expanded museum is expected to open in 2018, which marks the 140th year of a Japanese presence in Canada.

Drug overdoses doubled

By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

It was a grim year for the number of illicit drug overdose deaths in B.C., and Burnaby didn’t fare any better.

Last year, the province recorded 914 deaths from illicit drugs, which increased by 80 per cent from the previous year. It was

also a record for the province.

In Burnaby, a total of 36 people died from drug overdoses in the city.The number was more than double the 16 that died in 2015, and more than any year going back to 2007.

For some perspective, six communities recorded more overdose deaths than Burnaby in 2016, includ-

ing Vancouver and Surrey which topped the list at 215 and 108 respectively.

The B.C. Coroners Service did not release new numbers on the proportion of deaths in which fentanyl was detected in 2016, as they are not available yet. It is anticipated that data will be available sometime in March.

With the number of

deaths reaching record proportions, B.C.’s chief coroner is warning people who use illicit drugs.

“We recognize that those who are suffering from drug dependency are not going to be able to abstain immediately from drug use,” Lisa Lapointe said in a statement. “Given the increasing risk of Continued on page 4

If the harsh weather this winter has done anything, it’s proven a reminder that there are still many people in Burnaby who don’t have place to call home.

For the groups closest to the issue of homelessness, there isn’t a more poignant time for Burnaby’s first Coldest Night of the Year Walk.

The Society to End Homelessness in Burnaby and Burnaby Community Services are teaming up to host the walk, set for Feb. 25.

The walk, which has events across the nation and region, is intended to raise money and awareness for homelessness in the community.

Wanda Mulholland, coordinator for the Society to End Homelessness in Burnaby, said the organization has been interested in the walk for a long time, but this year is the first time Burnaby is able to host an event.

“We are so concerned about people in Burnaby that are living without housing and without access to basic necessities, and to raise the awareness of that is important in as many ways as possible,” she told the NOW. “The situation in Burnaby is of great concern, I can’t think of a better time to host this walk and provide an opportunity for people to show their support.”

While the weather has warmed recently, the number of people using the extreme weather shelter program this year in Burnaby compared to recent years has nearly doubled.

By early January, the shelter was already open 33 nights, offering 358 stays, compared to the 2015/16 season, where there were a total of 191 stays.

The goal of the walk is to raise $32,000, which will help provide programs, services and resources to people in Burnaby experiencing homelessness, hunger and poverty.

So far, there are 10 teams signed up for the Burnaby walk. Mulholland said the group is hoping for about 20 to 25 teams in the end.

She said as long as the issue remains, she’s hoping the walk will continue to grow.

“This is a very serious issue and a serious problem that is impacting many people,” Mulholland said, adding politicians from all levels have been invited to take part. “Every opportunity we can to bring that to light, we want to be able to embark on that.”

The situation in Burnaby is of great concern

Besides supporting programs, Stephen D’Souza, the executive director of Burnaby Community Services, said the walk is important because it engages people in peer-to-peer fundraising and raises awareness of the homelessness and housing issues in the community.

“And that there are people really struggling in our community to stay in their homes and there are people who are struggling who don’t have homes and they’re looking for support,” he said.

D’Souza noted the walk is getting support from a broad section of the community, including individuals, corporations and faithbased groups.

“It really leads to us seeing how this is an issue that crosses our community; an issue that people care about and are looking at ways to contribute to finding solutions to,” he said.

The walk, which offers a two, five, or 10-kilometre option, will start and finish at the Salvation Army, 6124 Nelson Ave. For more information go to canada.cnoy.org.

ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENTS PUBLIC HEARING

Coroners Service issues warning about drug use Continued from page 3 contaminated drugs and the growing number of fatalities, though, we urge them to use illicit drugs only in the presence of medical expertise or, at the very least, a sober person with access to, and training in, the use of naloxone. For those who are not drug dependent, we strongly advise you to avoid experimentation and the casual use of illicit drugs.The risks are now unmanageable.”

The coroners service also noted that no deaths occurred at any supervisedconsumption site.

Since December, more than 20 overdose prevention sites have opened in some

The risks are now unmanageable of the hardest hit communities, but so far there isn’t one in Burnaby. In December, Fraser Health officials explained prevention sites are aimed at communities considered to be at high risk, which is defined by the number of overdose deaths per 100,000 people. Burnaby doesn’t fall into that category.

Health authority officials pointed out that regional strategies to deal

with the crisis, including harm reduction services, are still being implemented in communities, including Burnaby.

On Thursday, the authority’s chief medical officer, Dr.Victoria Lee, noted the number of overdose deaths in the region from November to December went down, and the indication is that the numbers are back to the pre-surge levels.

She also said the health authority has done a more detailed analysis of the rate of deaths per 100,000 people in Burnaby, and based on the results, it hasn’t added additional overdose prevention services.

The Council of the City of Burnaby hereby gives notice that it will hold a Public Hearing TUESDAY, 2017 JANUARY 31 AT 7:00 PM in the Council Chamber, Burnaby City Hall, 4949 Canada Way, Burnaby, B.C., V5G 1M2 to receive representations in connection with the following proposed amendments to “Burnaby Zoning Bylaw 1965”.

Police say Marek Anisimowicz may have left B.C., but a warrant has been issued for his arrest Jeremy Deutsch

The hunt for a Burnaby man is underway after the alleged assault of a police officer in Port Coquitlam.

Last week, Coquitlam RCMP asked for the public’s help in finding a 36-year-old man wanted for several alleged offences, including assaulting a peace officer with a weapon, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing bodily harm and flight from police.

The incident happened on Dec. 30 at about 4 p.m. when a Port Moody police officer tried to arrest a man at the corner of Mary Hill Road and McAllister Avenue in Port Coquitlam, according to RCMP. Police said the suspect struggled with the police officer before getting into a car and driv-

Despite an extensive investigation, Coquitlam RCMP said they haven’t been able to track down the suspect. On Jan. 11, a Can-

ada-wide arrest warrant was issued for Marek James Anisimowicz of Burnaby.

He stands five feet 11 inches tall, weighs 221 pound, has dirty blond or brown hair and could be wearing glasses. Police note Anisimowicz has a distinctive neck tattoo with cursive writing on the right side.

Anisimowicz was last seen wearing all dark clothing, grey Air Jordan shoes and a black and white scarf with faces on it.There is a possibility he has left B.C. Police are telling the public if they see Anisimowicz not to approach him and instead call 911 immediately. Anyone with information that could help locate Anisimowicz is asked to call the Coquitlam RCMP at 604945-1550 and ask for Cpl. Scott Grimmer.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Share those tales of kindness with others It’s always a good time to share stories of good deeds and generosity.

As a community news organization, we’re in the fortunate position of hearing about good deeds through the groups we cover and our readers.

During the last couple of weeks we’ve heard stories about a teacher who left hundreds of thousands of dollars to help students become teachers, business-

es that have donated time and/or money to help the needy, and local police officers who have pitched in to help others.Today, on our front page, we shared a “thank you” photo from Africa sent to our reporter,Tereza Verenca, who reported on and gave a little boost to an annual pirate-themed fundraiser in Burnaby.There’s nothing like seeing a bunch of kids with wide grins pos-

ing for a thank you photo to remind you that a single act of kindness goes a long way.

Also, in today’s paper, we have the story of a million dollar donation to Burnaby’s Nikkei Place.

We’ve heard about the coach who goes out of his way to pick up the kid on the team who couldn’t make the games any other way.The storeowner who always saves the day-

GOOD deeds

old bread for the guy he knows can’t afford to buy any.The jogger who carries his own dog poop bag to pick up stuff that dog walkers haven’t.The unknown Good Samaritan who leaves McDonald’s

meal coupons tucked into homeless folks’ shopping carts.The driver who pays it forward at the Tim Horton’s drive-thru.The unsung hero who shovelled the whole street in the big snowfall and shrugged it off.The senior who makes sure the feral cat down the block gets a bowl of food.

They may not all be on the level of Bill Gates’ philanthropy, but each and every act makes our world a bet-

ter place.

So, given that it’s the start of a new year, we’d like to highlight the many good deeds, big or small, in Burnaby. If you have someone who has done a good deed please send Tereza an email (tverenca@ burnabynow.com) and give us some details.We’d like to spread the good news around in Burnaby.We hope it will inspire others – it certainly inspires us.

MY VIEW AARON KEOGH

Pipeline support makes no sense When it comes to B.C. Liberal Premier Christy Clark giving the go-ahead on the five conditions for the Kinder Morgan expansion project, I do not see how the B.C. Liberal government could logically or morally have approved it, due to: (1) The fact that CO2 emitted anywhere in the world in large amounts will have a profound effect on the global environment that will be contributed to, in part, by the go-ahead of the Kinder Morgan expansion project and others like it that Liberal governments on both the B.C. and federal level have collaborated to have approved.

(2) To the best of my knowledge, bitumen, once released into B.C. waters, will have a profound effect on the entire ecosystem and cannot be removed. So no amount of compensation will resolve such a situation should a tanker leak.

To further make my points about how unprepared both the Liberal B.C. provincial and federal governments are to handle the consequences of a bitumen spill, I’ll cite a May 21, 2015 CBC article.Thomas King, head of specialized lab analysis for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, states “There is no literature on it, no reports,” when referring to the removal of bitumen from the world’s oceans.

The article further states that a lake in Michigan had to be dredged when diluted bitumen leaked into the lake

from an Enbridge pipeline that ruptured in 2010.

For more information please see the Wikipedia entry on the Kalamazoo River oil spill, where the cleanup costs, according to Wikipedia, were originally estimated at $5 million USD, and

by September 2011 passed $585 million USD, and rose again to $765 million USD by summer 2012.

The B.C. Liberal government is showing that economic greed is valued at the cost of current and future man-made destruction of B.C.’s local ecology and worldwide effect on our planet’s environment.

I’ve lived in Burnaby for the majority of my 37 years on the planet, and this decision has me and most likely many other people very concerned for our longterm well-being going forward.

Having emailed a series of questions, multiple times, per my environmental concerns to Mary Polak, B.C.’s environment minster, during the latter part of 2016 and not receiving a direct answer, I’m further dismayed about the accountability from the B.C. Liberal government going forward, knowing now that when questions are asked of this government, a straight answer will not be given.

How can the B.C. Liberal government continue to lead, if it continues to be morally and logically bankrupt?

Dogs recover stolen loot

A bank robber had to abandon his loot after being pursued by police dogs in July. He and another man had robbed the Bank of Nova Scotia in Crest Plaza at knife point, but police located them in their getaway vehicle later in the day.

One of the robbers was arrested, but his accomplice ran into a heavily wooded area near the Cariboo Road and Highway 1 overpass. Police dogs managed to locate the stolen money but not the second suspect.

Pipeline approval a cause for celebration

Will pipeline be a deciding issue in city?

Dear Editor Hurrah! Kinder Morgan’s twinned pipeline has won approval from both the federal and provincial government. Typically, Mayor Corrigan comes forward and says he plans to waste more of Burnaby taxpayers’ money trying to stop it.

To be able to proceed, Kinder Morgan is conforming to some of the most stringent environmental regulations in the world. They are using the most modern science and engineering on the planet to minimize risk.

It is a sign of progression that our very climate-sensitive federal and provincial governments finally recognized this extraordinary feat.

In addition, while the environmentalists fought to have the risks reduced, Canada introduced a nation-wide carbon tax, as well as additional carbon taxes on oil sands.

It is time for the environmentalists to stop this absurd nonsense.

It is time for First they them to admit protested there was they’ve done insufficient their job, and consultation – and they’ve done a the process got delayed great job. several years while more consultation happened.

Then they protested that risks of spills were increased, so rules, regulations and processes were put in place to put the risk of a spill at an exceptionally low potential.

There were other arguments along the way – threats to the sea life, real estate – but for every protest, a requirement was set up to mitigate it.

Now Corrigan and his extremist supporters are left redrawing the line again and admitting what was probably known from the beginning: They never wanted the pipeline twinned, at all.

It is time for them to admit they’ve done their job, and they’ve done a great job – Burnaby will be the end point for one of the most environmentally safe pipelines in the world.

If you really want to stop oil being transported along pipelines, then accept that we do not have sufficient alternatives to oil for energy right now and start supporting the growth of real clean energy projects to ensure the pipeline won’t need to be twinned in another 65 years’ time.

Sally Gillies, by email

Assessment values aren’t just made up Dear Editor In the Jan. 13 NOW, there is a letter from Charnjit Singh Bal denigrating B.C. Assessment for the latest home assessments.

B.C. Assessment doesn’t just make up random numbers, as the letter writer seems to imply.

He clearly has no concept of how the system works. So why does the NOW publish letters from people who are obviously out of touch with reality?

Gordon Foy, Burnaby

Rick McGowan There is another choice that your view chooses to omit in your pipeline narrative, and that is the Green Party. For those that oppose the expansion of an oil sands, that aspires to triple production in the coming decades, an actual Green government is your only option.

If you want business as usual, or in this province, Big Business as usual, then you have two parties to choose from.

Neither the BC Liberals nor the BCNDP will oppose the construction of a bitumen pipeline to the Pacific. If it is not in our back yard, it will be in someone else’s. Cherry Point in Washington or Deltaport are the suggestions of exNDP Premier Mike Harcourt.

On the other hand, provided the editors at the Now, choose to acknowledge us, voters could elect Green MLAs, or independents, who would have the capacity to speak up for their constituents more forcefully, and who are willing to work constructively with other parties toward the good of all, not just their friends and contributors.

bb49 Not much thought was given to the environment this winter. You’re all concerned about an oil pipeline but clueless to other damage you are doing. Clueless, one-track minds.

Pipeline expansion gets nod from B.C. bill smith Check out the AB NDP speech today... Rachel Notley NDP praised the BC approval, same as Federal Liberals.... Any government that gets into power will come clean and admit that the economic impact is so vital and the risks are so low... it’s their duty to grow the energy and resource sectors.... the only ones against it are opposition parties as long as they stay in opposition, plus the Green Party.

If the BC NDP get into power (god forbid), they’d be as pro-pipeline as the Alberta NDP is now, after winning their election in a fluke. Alberta NDP even finally admitted that having the pipeline or not has absolutely no impact on climate or CO2 generation...

NDP Notley went out of her way to ridicule Hanoi Jane Fonda and other loons who go about spreading a false narrative.

Bar patron sues over run-in with manager Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

A North Vancouver man is suing the owners of a Burnaby bar over an alleged altercation with the manager.

According to a statement of claim filed in B.C. Supreme Court, JaeYoung Kim is suing the Lougheed Village Bar & Grill, its owner Robert Frost, and Beach Properties, which owns

Lougheed Village Apartments where the bar is located, over an incident in 2015.

Kim claims on the night of Sept. 19, 2015 he was in the bar when he was confronted by a manager. Kim alleged the manager, who is not identified in the lawsuit, intentionally assaulted him causing him injuries.

The suit does not give any detail about what led to the confrontation.

Kim claims as a result of the assault, he sustained injuries to his neck, back, chest, right knee with abrasions, right ankle and right foot, along with headaches and difficulty sleeping.

Kim is seeking general damages for pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, special damages and aggravated and punitive damages, along with cost of future care.

The suit claims the man-

ager’s actions “were deliberate and motivated by malevolence and were intended to and did humiliate the plaintiff in the presence of friends and diverse members of the public and subjected him to ridicule and contempt by reason of which the injuries to the plaintiff has been aggravated and the plaintiff seeks aggravated damages.”

Kim claims both the bar owner and Beach Proper-

ties were negligent in the incident.

Both defendants have denied the claims in the lawsuit.

In response, Frost said if an employee of the bar touched Kim, only reasonable force was used as was necessary to protect themselves or patrons against physical contact by the plaintiff, whose actions threatened imminent harm to an employee or patron.

The bar’s response also noted the employee was at all times trained, supervised and qualified, and Frost implemented and followed appropriate procedures to ensure compliance with statutory duties of care.

Beach Properties in response claimed under the lease agreement, Frost had responsibility for and control over the premises.

None of the allegations have been proven in court.

ficer’s actions, he also said the shooting victim was “going toward them fast” and that the female officer was standing in the middle of the street.

One officer told the IIO he was standing in the wide open and he did not have any cover as the man was coming his way.

“I had no doubt in my mind that he, his intention was to kill or harm myself, the other police officer … or the complainant, who was also standing nearby, or even himself.There (were) a lot of people that I was concerned would be harmed as a result of the (affected person’s) actions,” the officer said.

The IIO’s use-of-force expert concluded the witness officer’s “use of the CEW (Taser) to attempt to stop the threat posed by (the affected person) was reasonable given the totality of the situation. In this instance, given the threat of grievous bodily harm or death posed by (the affected person), it is my assessment that (the subject officer’s) deployment of her firearm to stop (the affected person) was reasonable and in compliance with her tactical and firearms training.”

The report noted the officer who fired the shot declined to be interviewed by the IIO or to provide any report, which is her right.

The IIO also said at the time the decision was issued, it did not appear that the officer had completed any reports or notes of her recollection of the incident.

There are several IIO investigations connected to Burnaby RCMP still outstanding, including three from March 2015.

Continued from page 1 for the self-preservation of herself or the preservation of any one under her protection from death or grievous bodily harm.”

The suspect told investigators he was on the balcony of a house and saw police were out front. He said he grabbed the knife and a pillow, made the sign of the cross, went outside and put the knife over his chest, according to the IIO report.

“I ran down the balcony, which took another, about, four seconds, maybe four, five seconds. ...They couldn’t really Tase me, because at that point I was pretty much ready to die,” read an excerpt from the report. “The affected person told IIO investigators he was saying at the time of the incident, ‘Shoot me, shoot me, shoot me’ at which time he, ‘...was completely across the street.’ He went on to say, ‘I remember looking in her eyes and she looked in her radio and she says, shots fired, shots fired, shots fired. And I think – she said it twice for sure. And then, and then she shot me in the abdomen.’”

He also told investigators he wasn’t within striking distance and police could have easily avoided shooting him as he wasn’t making any quick movements.

But after interviews with witnesses, IIO investigators found inconsistencies in the shooting victim’s statement.

While in his statement he said the officer was up to 20 feet away when she shot him, a paramedic’s statement noted the man said he was shot by a gun and that it was from five feet away.

While the report noted a witness, who called police and knew the man, expressed concern with the of-

Connor Stefanison Occupation PHOTOGRAPHER Why is he in the news?

Some of the world’s best nature photographers live right here in Burnaby.

Best friends Connor Stefanison and Jess Findlay recently made a trip to Washington, D.C. to see their work on display in the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History.

Both entered a photo for the Windland Smith Rice International Awards early last year and won in the wildlife category.

Stefanison submitted a picture of three muskoxen, taken during a week-long trip to Norway’s Dovrefjell– Sunndalsfjella National Park, while Findlay chose a photo

of a sleeping sea otter in Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula.

Both pictures will be on display at the Smithsonian for about a year.

The boys became best pals at a young age, living only a couple of houses apart. They took up photography near the end of high school, and one could argue they never looked back.

The NOW caught up with Stefanison to talk about nature photography and what it feels like to be at the top of his field.

–Tereza Verenca

NORTHERN ADVENTURE Connor Stefanison’s winning photo into Nature’s Best Photography contest last year was of three muskoxen in Norway’s Dovrefjell–Sunndalsfjella National Park. PHOTO CONNOR STEFANISON, CONTRIBUTED easy opportunities for wildlife photography close to home, like Burnaby Lake and Boundary Bay.

How did you get into photography?

Jess’ dad has always been a wildlife photographer so Jess kind of picked it up from him, and my dad had an interest in it, so he bought a DSLR camera.

I went out with Jess and his dad a few times on some bird-watching trips, just around the city and they joined a nature photography camera club.

I went to a meeting with them; the first night was about bird photography, so that first night I learned quite a bit about it.

I always had a big, outdoor background, just from camping and fishing. After joining that club, I just realized there were so many

604-419-8888 gffg.com/RRSP

When did your hobby really take off?

I got pretty into it right away. As soon as I started, that’s all I did.When it really took off was in 2013. I won the wildlife photographer of the year rising star portfolio award.That was from the Natural History Museum in London, England. So I got that in 2013 and 2015.That’s like the biggest contest there is, and you get so much publicity from it.That really kicked everything off.

Is this your full-time job or are you doing something else on the side?

This is full-time. I’ll get random image sales and

Investment and saving specials on now

magazine assignments once in a while, but the main thing is teaching workshops.

The main ones are weeklong trips; we have some that we do in Manning Park – birds, mammals, landscapes.We have some in Vancouver for birds and then we have some in the Interior for loons.

What are some of your favourite places you’ve travelled as a photographer, and why?

Definitely the B.C. Interior I really like, just because I’ve been going there fishing all my life, and I know the area quite well. I really like Jasper National Park.

There’s an infinite amount of things to shoot up there.

Yellowstone National Park is another favourite and just the Vancouver area.There’s probably no better big city for nature photography than

the Vancouver area.

What does it feel like to know you’re among the world’s best nature photographers?

(Laughs) I don’t know about that, but it certainly is really humbling being displayed in a world, top museum like the Smithsonian.

Having done that in other contests, like in the Natural History Museum and the Royal B.C. Museum, it’s definitely really cool knowing that everyone in the world takes pictures, so it’s cool to know that your picture is kind of standing out amongst the crowd. I never would have thought that I would have been doing this years ago.

How did you come to choose the muskoxen as Continued on page 12

Charged by muskoxen?

It’s all in a day’s work Continued from page 11 your photo entry?

When I enter a contest, I like to look at past images that they’ve chosen and see what their style is. I’m not really sure how I chose it.

I don’t think the muskox was the best picture that I entered, but that’s all subjective with the judges, right?

I wanted to enter at least one picture from that trip to Norway.That one had a cool arrangement of the three of them, and I think muskox are kind of a real eye-catching species.

Tell me about what it took to get that photo.

I had to go to London for that wildlife photography of the year award, so I figured I would leave early and go to Norway and spend a week hiking around there to get these muskoxen. I’ve always wanted to go to that park and see them, but it’s kind of a big trip to do it, so I figured it was the perfect

opportunity to go.

I hiked into the park and I was camping there for six days.To find the muskox, I would go off into the backcountry, go off trail. I was doing a lot of hiking every day. I estimated I was probably doing around 20 kilo-

ed over the hill, I got a couple shots, and then they started moving on.

Just as I crested over the hill, I got a couple shots

Did you ever get charged at?

Yeah. I had a few instances with the big, big males. It was my first encounter and my last encounter.You take a couple steps, hang out for a bit, take a couple steps, and then all of sudden, they just get up and run at you.

There’s really no warning.

metres a day.You’d see the muskox so far away and because there’s no trees, and it’s all open, it seems like a short walk, but it would be quite a distance.

I don’t think they wanted me around. It’s pretty hard to read their body language, so it was days and days of me sitting a little bit too far away from them to get close pictures. For the picture in the museum, just as I crest-

Any advice for those looking to get into the biz?

Just shoot locally and spend as much time shooting where you live. Lots of people get into photography and they think you have to travel super far to get great pictures.The more you shoot close to home, you’re going to know your local places a lot better than you will a trip to Africa. Keep working those spots and you’ll become a much better photographer.

Communitynow Burnaby Village delves into First Nations history Local teachers aren’t the only ones working to get their teaching strategies in line with the new B.C. curriculum’s focus on aboriginal perspectives.

BurnabyVillage Museum is looking to update its school programs, too.

The museum currently offers programs to school kids on themes like the history of local businesses, homes and home life, and transportation and the tram.

But none of the programs teach kids about the history of local First Nations.

That’s something the museum wants to change.

The first thing it intends to tackle through an ongoing First Nations research project is the idea that there is no First Nations history in here.

“There’s a long history of local First Nations in this place before it was Burnaby,” museum programs coordinator Sanya Pleshakov told the NOW. “This place was a place of harvesting

and resource gathering, and people lived here, and those ties are not broken, even though their reserves now are in NorthVancouver or Vancouver.”

To make sure local First Nations aren’t watching from the sidelines as the museum decides what kids will learn about their histories, partnerships have been formalized with the Squamish,Tsleil-Waututh and Kwantlen First Nations, and discussions are underway with Musqueam.

“To tell a community’s history is not my right,” Pleshakov said. “It’s the right of indigenous peoples to tell their own stories, so we want to be really careful about how we share those stories.”

One of the goals of the research project is to create a resource guide or background paper for educators to use when they teach about First Nations history in Burnaby.

To tailor the museum’s work to school kids, meanwhile, Pleshakov and assistant programmer Lorenda

Calvert have been meeting with a Burnaby school district focus group comprised of aboriginal enhancement teacher Meagan Innes and head teachers Teresa Migliuri (Lakeview) and Julianna Cipparrone (Morley).

Along with a new First Nations program, the group is looking at ways to better align all the museum’s school programs with the new curriculum and its focus on critical thinking, communication skills and personal and social competence.

we’re doing a good job with being interactive,” Pleshakov said, “but I think we need to be more getting the kids to really question and analyze for themselves. I think too what we’re missing is diversity.We’re not talking about the cultural diversity that did exist in Burnaby in terms of the South Asian community, the Chinese community and First Nations. Because that cultural diversity, and First Nations in particular, is such a strong part of the new curriculum, that’s where we’re really focusing our efforts.”

New website connects dog owners with care Site helps owners find walkers, sitters and boarders Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

The folks behind an online pet services website want to make it easier for dog lovers to become dog owners.

GoFetch is an online marketplace where dog owners can find walkers, sitters and even boarders.

Dog walkers have been using the site in Vancouver and Toronto since last April.

Clients using the site of-

ten asked walkers to board or sit their pups too, so GoFetch decided to expand its services.This week it started accepting applications from potential doggy caretakers in Burnaby.

“We’ve received just over 2,000 service listings across Canada, so it’s pretty incredible,” said Willson Cross, co-founder of GoFetch.

But not all applicants will be approved. GoFetch staff vet each one through inter-

views, home visits and credential checks.

By the end of the screening process, usually about 30 per cent are approved, Cross said.

Interested dog sitters or boarders have to fill out a lengthy application where all the fields are mandatory, including providing a dogcare plan.

GoFetch is similar to travel sites like Airbnb where other users can rate and Continued on page 21

Communitynow New dog care website hopes to add trust for pet owners Continued from page 20 review the dog walker, sitter or boarder.

This is part of what makes GoFetch stand out compared to other online sources like Craigslist and Kijiji, Cross said.

“With platforms such as Craigslist, the trust factor is not there. In addition to

the fact that traditional kennel options, you don’t get the personalized care or the customized care peace of mind,” he said.

Cross admitted there’s always room to improve when you’re running an online tech company like GoFetch, but he’s proud of the direction the company is going

so far.

“Our vision is really to be Canada’s largest and most trusted pet services marketplace,” he said, adding he hopes GoFetch will make it easier for everyone to own a dog.

Figursky steps into spotlight Rae Figursky (then Thiessen) stepped into her first term as president of the Burnaby Teachers’ Association in 1994. In a NOW profile, the then-Burnaby South math teacher said the biggest issue facing local teachers back then was the integration of special needs students. Figursky said

more support teachers were needed.

Support for English language learners and overcrowding at local schools were other issues highlighted by the newly minted president, and she also took a swipe at the “backto-basics” school concept in vogue at the time: “I be-

lieve people should work with the system to get what they what, not reinvent the wheel in going out for different schools.”

Now an Alpha Secondary math teacher, Figursky was BTA president again in 2014 and now serves on the B.C.Teachers’ Federation executive.

Perfect start for Lions Burnaby Mountain rises to top of local sr. girls basketball loop Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Maybe its the Mountain air.

The Burnaby Mountain Lions sit tied for first place in the senior girls Burnaby-New Westminster basketball league standings, with a spotless record.

Although the big match-up with fellow undefeated New Westminster is circled at the end of the month, this group of talented, hard-working players won’t look any further than the next tip-off.

Burnaby Mountain head coach James Morton says the squad has embraced the team concept and the hard work necessary to be competitive in an eight-team league.

“We’re very fortunate to be undefeated, but at the same time we have worked for it,” said Morton, one of the school’s vice-principals.

Wednesday’s 41-26 victory over Burnaby North put them at 6-0, a run all the more impressive when you learn that the squad is a melange of mostly Grade 11s who a year ago went through the junior season with few if any scoreboard rewards.

The team’s offensive leaders are at other ends of the spectrum. Senior Martina Pettenon has put up an average of 10 points per game – impressive when you see how the team is winning with an average of 48 points per game.

Pettenon is a stabilizing force who is one of the few Grade 12s on the roster, says Morton.

At the other end is Grade 9 dynamo Sophia Vivero, the team’s top offensive contributor who plays a smart, disciplined game, says Morton. “(Sophia) is an outstanding player for us, she’s a very good ballhandler who can shoot and drive the ball up court... And she never fouls.”

The team also gets a strong contribution from Grade 11 Taran Jhuti, who dominates the boards by averaging eight rebounds a game.

But Morton notes that in basketball, everyone contributes.

“We play a lot of different players, some new to basketball with only three returnees,” he said. “They’re battle tested.”

The previous few years the team relied a great deal on Team B.C. member Jacey Bailey, who is on a full-ride scholarship at Florida Atlantic.There was expected to be an adjustment period and a bit of a Continued on page 25

Jr. Rebels build case for BC hoop title

Burnaby South earns its scrappy persona with North Shore tourney victory Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Memories of last year were a boost and not a deterrent for the Burnaby South junior boys Rebels basketball team last week.

A then-Grade 9 squad fell short of its goals in 2016 but gained valuable experience that it applied at the provincials, where they placed fifth.

The Rebels coaches envisioned a return visit to the North Shore Invitational as a good place to confirm their goals a second time.

“I told the boys it was our intention to get us back in the (NSI) in 2017, and both Cody (McCormack) and I thought realistically we could win it. We planted the seed early,” remarked co-coach Karl Brysch.

Burnaby South improved on last year’s 3-1 record at the NSI, rolling to the tourney title with a 65-60 victory over the Handsworth Royals in the final.

Led by Baltej Sohal’s 24 points, and great

support from Jiordano Khan and Emir Krupic, the Rebels held off a fierce Royals rally to claim the crown.

“The Handsworth game did not go as smoothly as we had hoped,” Brysch said. “We really had to earn that one.The Handsworth team definitely stressed us in different ways when compared to some other teams. But this just reaffirmed what we need to work on to be consistent.”

Khan contributed 12 points, while Krupic, a Grade 9, chipped in nine. Sohal was selected the final player of the game for his performance.

Last year the team fell to a strong Kelowna team in the Grade 9 division, but were eager to give it another go this time as juniors.The Rebels this go around shot out of the gate – beating Bodwell 70-22, topping Argyle 79-58, and knocking off Sir Charles Tupper 71-59 in the semifinal.

Players of the earlier games were Aidan Wilson, Jaden De Leon, and Sohal.

Brysch said the squad continues to evolve but is finding rewards in more than just wins.

“We have smart, quick players so we try to utilize those strengths in what we do both on the offensive and defensive ends of the court,” he said. “When we have to slow things down, we’ve shown that we can also execute a set offense.That’s a good sign.”

They followed the tournament by clipping New Westminster 62-54 in a well-played contest.

At 5-0 in league play and rated second on the B.C. junior circuit, the Rebels aren’t shy about their aspirations.

“We are a quick team, and scrappy.That’s the type of players we have so we attempt to utilize those two characteristics in our playing style,” said Brysch.

“Our goal at the beginning and at the end of the year is the same, win provincials.”

The Rebels wrap up the regular season with games Monday against Burnaby North, and Wednesday, at Byrne Creek.

Wrestling quartet set solid pace for SFU women The Simon Fraser University women’s wrestling team demonstrated why it is ranked fourth overall, going 3-1 at the Oregon Classic meet last week.

Led by perfect runs from Nicole Depa, Fran Giorgio and Dom Parrish, SFU went 3-0 in the round robin but ran up

against No. 2-ranked McKendree University in the championship match, falling 31-18.

Depa, in 136-lbs, Parrish, in 123-lbs, and 143-lbs Giorgio finished with big wins over their McKendree rivals.

Jennifer Anderson was unbeaten until the 130-pound division fi-

nal, where McKendree’s Megan Black prevailed 11-6.

Also dominating their divisions were 109-lbs Ciara McCrae and 191-lbs Payton Smith.When all was said and done, all but one SFU wrestler began the tournament with a victory.

Despite wins by McCrae (12-

6 over Vanessa Ramirez), Parrish (13-0 over Alyssa Gonzalez), Depa (12-5 over Alexia Ward), Giorgio (9-1 over Jasmine Bailey), and Payten Smith (6-2 over Janelle Fuamatu), forfeits proved too much for the Clan to overcome.

Burnaby’s ice dancers land it Mountain Lions

keep on winning

Stairs-Royer and Wu-Mirzakhani medal

Two teams from the Burnaby-based Champs International Skating Centre landed on the podium in the first few days of the 2017 Canadian Tire national skating championships in Ottawa.

The junior dance teams of Ashlynne Stairs and Lee Royer and Danielle Wu and Nik Mirzakhani placed second and third, respectively, in their competition.

The duos, both coached by former Canadian Olympic team members Megan Wing and Aaron Lowe, finished behind Quebec’s Marjorie Lajoie and Zachary Lagha, who posted a final score of 153.55.

Stairs and Royer, who moved from Alberta to train in Burnaby, finished second with a score of 139.63, while Wu, a Burnaby native, and Mirzakhani, of Italy, placed third at 133.98.

In less than two years as partners,Wu and Mirzakhani have began making a name for themselves, finishing third at last year’s Skate Canada Challenge, and third at sectionals.

In the men’s novice, Champs’ skater Aleksa Rakic finished sixth overall with a total score of 119.77.

The senior divisions begin competing today.

Continued from page 24 rebuilding process after Bailey graduated, Morton said.

“The reality is, without Jacey we are just trying to establish consistency and build a program,” he noted. “I’ve talked with other coaches (in the district) and on how to build a basketball culture, but it’s an in-progress thing.

“I like the fact that this group is working for each other. It’s a neat mix.”

They’ve had some tight tests during the year, beginning with the season-opening 54-53 win over Burnaby Central – the only loss the Wildcats have suffered to date. Burnaby Mountain also topped Alpha 61-42 and Cariboo Hill 56-39.

Earlier this week they nudged Moscrop 38-32, trailing by four points in the first quarter. But for the most part, Mountain has been in control and winning comfortably.

While New Westminster will be the season-ending hurdle – the Hyacks at one

point were among the honourable mentioned in the Triple-A rankings, and have primed their game by playing a steady stream of provincially ranked opponents – Burnaby Mountain’s best measuring stick may have came a week ago at the Britannia Bruins Invitational.

There, the Lions topped Alberni District 49-43, suffered their first loss, a 5649 thriller to McNair in the semifinal, then took third place with a solid 61-49 decision over R.C. Palmer.

Vivero, who didn’t register a single foul in the tournament, was named to the first all-star team.

Of course, getting back to the B.C.s, where the school made its inaugural debut in 2015, would be the topper.

But Morton aims to keep his squad grounded before each leap.

“Our goal is to get to the Lower Mainlands and just keep playing. I like the passion they’ve shown for the game.”

Burnaby has many Mediterranean eateries to choose from. However, one stands out from the crowd. When locals want to dine at a welcoming, family-run restaurant showcased by mouthwatering cuisine, they head to Little Billy’s Steakhouse.

For more than four decades, the unassuming front opens onto a modern-style steakhouse – with the crisp white linen, comfortable new seating and rich, warm wood paneling.

“We have third generations that are now coming with their young families,” says proud owner/chef Harry Paskalidis. Its resounding success and longevity is a testament to great service, consistently delicious dishes and friendly atmosphere.

See In-Store For Details or Visit

Originally from Greece, Harry trained as a logging camp chef, Harry brings in time-honoured Greek and Italian dishes, as well as some of his signature personal recipes.

LifetimeEyecare.ca

Here, you will find old-world charm, from the service to food that is as classic as it comes... with mouthwatering timeless dishes you have come to love over the years at this popular family-run eatery.

A well-thought out selection of seafood, soups, pizzas, and souvlaki dishes are guaranteed to warm you up when it is less than lovely outside. There is also the signature Roast Lamb, the Chef cut bone-in rib eye, Paidakia Ribs (a house specialty), or the Lobster Linguini married with jumbo prawns and scallops.

Harry is fastidious, ensuring his clientele receive proper old-school service through and through. Expect a sophisticated look inside and the comforting smell of tomatoes and garlic forever wafting out of the kitchen.

To cap off your meal there is an excellent selection of wine and other beverages to enjoy.
