Pushing back against a pricey prom Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

It was a modest beginning, but a group of Alpha Secondary leadership students pushed back against the high price of prom last week. The group of Grade 10 and 12 students organized Promject, a sale of second-hand dresses, dress shirts and pants, shoes, ties and other accessories last week. The event drew about 25 people, six of whom walked away with dresses for less than $30, and the evening raised about $177 for Vancouver Rape Relief. “The Promject was quite successful considering it was the first year and my peers and I built it from the ground up,” said Claire Chateauneuf, one of five organizers. What set their event apart from other initiatives like the Cinderella Project, which is aimed at helping low-income students, was that it was aimed at all grads. “That’s one thing about our event, we didn’t want it to be like a pity party kind of thing.We just wanted it open to everyone,” said organizer Mariah Provencal. “Prom dresses are not affordable most of the time.They range from $200 to $1,000, and it’s ridiculous because we should be spending money on things that are a little more relevant, like saving up for school and stuff.” Opening the sale to all grads works Continued on page 8

HOMEOWNER GRANT CHANGES

Grant hike barely makes a difference

A city report says the new higher threshold for the homeowner grant impacted about one per cent of residences By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

While the province has increased the eligibility threshold for the homeowners grant, relieving some residents the stress of

not getting the tax break, a new report from the City of Burnaby suggests the measures didn’t go far enough. Earlier this month, the province’s finance minister announced changes to the grant that would increase

the eligibility threshold by $400,000 to $1.6 million after another year of major increases to property values. But a report from the city’s financial committee finds the number of homeowners in Burnaby eligi-

ble for the grant will still drop in 2017, although only slightly. For 2017, 77.8 per cent of residential properties in Burnaby fall below the lower threshold compared to 78.7 per cent in 2016, ac-

cording to the report. While the report noted some households will benefit from the threshold increase, it does not provide the numbers for how many homes were able to keep their grants because of the

province’s changes. The target for the provincial government is for 91 per cent of all homes in B.C. to be eligible for the grant. But a closer look at the numbers indicates it’s Continued on page 8

Newsnow A CLOSER LOOK

Nearly a year after escaping incredible violence and hardship in their home country, a Syrian family recalls the challenges and triumphs of building a new life in Canada

From war-torn Syria to a new life By Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

Mamoun Shebat was on his way to buy bread when he saw bullets tear through a woman’s head and stomach. He rushed to her side to help, and that’s when he was hit. A sniper was hiding about 700 metres away in the minaret of a mosque, shooting into the street. Shebat’s left elbow was blown out, an injury that still affects him today. The shooting happened in 2012, one week before Shebat, his wife and three children fled war-torn Syria.They lived in Daraa, and the city was ground zero for the uprising against Bashar al-Assad’s government. Every night, bombs went off between 7 p.m. to 4 a.m., recalled Shebat. “(You) could hear it; you could see it, about two kilometres from house,” he said. Thanks to a private sponsorship application filed by the New Westminster Christian Reformed Church, the family now lives in Burnaby. On Feb. 8, they’ll be celebrating one year in Canada.

SITTING IN LIMBO

When the Shebats left Syria, they travelled on foot to nearby Jordan, some 13 kilometres away.They spent 10 days at the border, living in a big tent with 20 to 30 other refugees. “It was cold.There was snow. No food. It was raining non-stop,” Shebat told the NOW. Eventually, the family of five was taken to the Zaatari refugee camp in Jordan, where they would spend the next three-anda-half years. Conditions were harsh, said Shebat. The camp housed tens of thousands of refugees, so food was scarce.They were fed rice and bread for lunch and cheese for breakfast and dinner. If anyone had to go to the washroom, they either had to walk long distances or build their own toilet in the

ground. Asked how they passed the time, Khloud Ahmad, Shebat’s wife, said there wasn’t much to do. “You just sit down and think about country, about family,” she said. Girls were not safe. If her daughter Fedaa wanted to go somewhere, Shebat had to accompany her. To guarantee her safety, Fedaa married a Jordanian man she never met. She stayed only six months at the camp until she moved in with her in-laws. “(It was) very sad because she married early. She was 18,” Ahmad said. Today, Fedaa still lives in Jordan and is expecting her second child at the end of March. Ahmad was able to be there for the first birth, but isn’t sure she’ll get that chance this time.

SPONSORSHIP COMES THROUGH

Burnaby-based New Westminster Christian Reformed Church has sponsored refugees since 1979. In September 2015, a member of the church suggested they fundraise to bring over a Syrian family.The congregation held a meeting one month later and managed to raise $25,000 that day. “By December, we had put in our application to Toronto and we had enough money for a family of five, possibly six,” said Marianne Van Delft, one of the organizers behind the campaign to bring the Shebats to Canada. At the time, the federal Liberals had put a hold on sponsorships, so the church had to wait until January to find out which family would be coming over. “We said we will take the first name that comes. One name came forward.That was their name,”Van Delft said. After that, things started falling into place. Organizers learned of an available two-bedroom basement suite for under $900. “We said we’ll rent it regardless if it takes three months or four months

because the rent was too good to pass up,” she said. By the end of January, everything for the suite had been purchased. The Shebats boarded a plane on Feb. 10 in Montreal, where they were being processed, and headed to Vancouver. “The first thing they told (the interpreter) is, ‘We are starving; we are so hungry.’ So I phoned Carol upstairs and said get the soup on,” recalled Van Delft of their arrival. “We didn’t know if we had a sponsor,” Ahmad chimed in. “When we arrived, we just signed some papers.” When the family got in the door of their new home,Van Delft and her husband told the family, through an interpreter, “This is your house, everything here is yours.” “I remember Mamoun said, ‘I have no hope for me, but I have hope for the future of my boys,’” she told the NOW.

The ﬁrst thing they told (the interpreter) is, ‘We are starving; we are so hungry.’ So I phoned Carol ... and said get the soup on.

A NEW LIFE

Adjusting to his new life hasn’t been easy, according to older brother Fares. The now-19-year-old admitted he wasn’t happy when he left Zaatari. After having to leave Syria and then the camp, a move to another country was hard to imagine. “I had my friends. I missed them,” said Fares, noting he grieved for about six months and didn’t leave the house, except for school.The brothers enrolled at Cariboo Hill Secondary when they first arrived and eventually moved to Byrne Creek Community School, where they’re currently working towards finishing their high school

diploma. Ahmad, meanwhile, said the hardest part of coming to Canada was learning the language.Today, she can speak in short sentences and is attending English classes. The church helped Shebat get a part-time gardening job at a private school. He got a couple of months of work experience under his belt, saved enough money to buy a car and then, last September, took his resume to an aluminum plant in Langley. “He went on a Friday morning, dropped it off, and they told him to come back in the afternoon for a meeting and was hired,” said Van Delft. “I’m very

proud of him because he did it himself.”

REUNION

Moving forward, the Shebats say they’re eager to become fluent in English, have the boys finish school and most importantly, reunite their family. Van Delft said the church submitted Fedaa’s sponsorship application last October, and now it’s just a waiting game. “If you get it (the application) done, then you’re in for the next year, but that doesn’t guarantee you. Some people wait two years, so I don’t want to put their hopes up,” she explained. Van Delft added the church will always be there for the Shebats regardless of what happens. “That’s the beauty of private sponsors.You become family,” she said.

Check those property assessments twice

Burnaby couple is urging other homeowners to be careful after finding an error in their assessment Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby couple is encouraging people to go online and check their property assessment for errors after encountering one themselves. Zonia Hodge and her husband Ernie have lived in their Brentwood home for 60 years. When they looked up their address on B.C. Assessment’s website a few weeks ago, the Hodges noticed their assessment included a finished basement. In reality, their basement is only one third complete. “It was a very interesting experience. I never expected to have it happen,” said Hodge. After calling the agency, the couple was told to photograph the entire bottom level and send the pictures in. “We also measured the finished portions of the house,” Hodge said. Within two days, B.C. Assessment adjusted the building’s value and reduced it by $5,000. “I thought, ‘Oh, whoopee,’” Hodge joked of her now $1.8-million home, which doesn’t qualify for the homeowner grant. The Hodges asked B.C. Assessment about the error, given that an appraiser hadn’t been in their home for five decades, and were

told staff had “guessed.” “(He said) because you owned the house for 60 years, (we assumed) you would have finished the basement,” said Hodge. B.C. Assessment’s Jason Grant told the NOW because it’s impossible to send appraisers to all the properties, the agency uses a

variety of techniques to collect the data.That includes reviewing high-resolution streetfront imagery, permit data and information collected from self-declarations. “From time to time, assumptions are made, which are based on the best available evidence,” said Grant. He also suggests people comb through their online and hard copy assessments for errors. “We encourage them to contact us and rectify that situation.We’re open to those calls and that’s what this time of year in particular is for,” he said. Grant added the process is “quite seamless.” If there’s an agreement between the homeowner and B.C. As-

sessment that there’s been a mistake, it can be corrected in a matter of days, like in the Hodges’ case. Should there be a dispute, the homeowner has until Jan. 31 to file an appeal. Roughly 1.2 per cent of property owners appealed in 2016 and this year’s numbers won’t be known until March, noted Grant. “We always strive to keep our inventory up to date,” he said, adding mistakes from previous years, unfortunately, can’t be fixed. As for the Hodges, both in their 80s, there are no plans on moving anytime soon. “We’re in good health, and we plan to stay in the house because we don’t like condos,” said Hodge.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Don’t let Trump taint our refugee plan

It’s been a year now since the first Syrian refugees came trickling into Canadian airports – among them, the Shebat family here in Burnaby. Perhaps now forgotten, the Syrian refugee crisis became a campaign issue in the 2015 federal election, with the major parties effectively trying to outbid each other for how many refugees Canada could or should accept. We recall as well the nay-

sayers urging the newly elected Liberal government to stop refugees at the border, spouting fears over terrorism, Sharia law and other nonsense. One of those prominent critics was Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall. Today, just shy of 40,000 refugees have landed and started the toil of building a new life away from the bombs. The fears over the safety of Canadians have proven

to be bunk so far. And we know now what the alternative would have been for those who fled. As civil war came to an end in Aleppo before Christmas, there were horrifying reports of government soldiers and pro-regime militias obliterating entire neighbourhoods, slaughtering women and children, as they cowered. Other Syrians languish in refugee camps with no education, meagre shelter, no

comforts, no future. It hasn’t been easy for those who have arrived. There have been challenges finding access to language classes, education, jobs and housing.These can be tough things to acquire even for those who aren’t starting from scratch. The federal government needs to ensure our compassion extends beyond the political campaign and the arrival of these new Canadians, and continue to make

sure there are resources available to give them every chance of success. We sincerely hope President Donald Trump’s move this week to block Syrian refugees from entering the United States does not colour Canada’s position. Trump is also suspending immigration for at least 30 days from a number of predominantly Muslim countries, including Iran, Iraq, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. Sadly, this will be

applauded by many of his fellow Americans. The Statue of Liberty in the U.S. has a phrase on it: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. The wretched refuse of your teeming shore, send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door.” Perhaps they should give the statue to Canada. That would be the Canadian thing to do.

MY VIEW BRIAN GUNN

Pipeline risks are too high

An open letter to Premier Christy Clark: You were once opposed to Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain expansion, and then approved the project on Jan. 11.You stated that the five conditions for approval imposed by British Columbia were met. The main reason you gave for recent approval was that the last condition was met – Kinder Morgan is willing to share the profits ($1 billion in payments over 20 years) with B.C. But this $1 billion payment could nearly pay for the extra $1.2 billion the company says it would cost to relocate the terminal to Delta Port at Robert’s Bank, where the risk would be considerably less. Both you and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gave your approval based on the statement that the “benefits outweigh the risks.” However, neither you nor Prime Minister Trudeau discussed the risks, how much these risks may cost, nor did you give any indication of how you came to be convinced of the safety of the project. Do you know something that the public does not know? All we have to go on are the estimates put forward in Kinder Morgan’s risk analysis and TERMPOL Report 3.15 to the NEB in which, in Table 34, they estimated a return period of 473 years for a major spill of 8.25 million litres, and a return period of 237 years for spills of any volume (all spills).We equate the 8.25 million-litre spill esti-

mate to a 10 per cent probability over a 50-year operating life and 19 per cent if one considers all possible spills, of any volume.These results take into account all mitigations, including the development of a “worldclass” cleanup response strategy and the use of efficient tugboat assistance. When presenting to the federal ministerial panel on Aug. 9, 2016, Concerned Professional Engineers (CPE) showed that the 10 per cent risk discussed above is not acceptable. In that presentation, we compared tanker risks to other major infrastructure risks and showed that the design of buildings for structural failure during earthquakes and collision of ships with bridges according to the S6 highways code tolerate risks that are only 1/5 and 1/20, respectively, of the risks associated with Kinder Morgan’s expansion project. The danger of collisions with bridges and the possibility of taking them both out of service and, in the case of the highway bridge, possibly killing a large number of people, have not been included in the risk assessment done by Kinder Morgan. If this were done, the risks would need to be added to the already purported risk mentioned above. CPE appreciates that B.C.’s department of transportation and infrastructure has a study, ongoing from 2015 to the spring of 2017, regarding the risks of the increased tanker traffic.

A COMPLIMENTARY PRESENTATION:

INBOX

TRENDING

PM has put economy above environment

Can the people defeat the pipeline project?

Dear Editor: Justin Trudeau says that “you can’t make a choice between what’s good for the environment and what’s good for the economy.” Yet, that is exactly what he did by (if you’ll excuse the bad pun) green lighting the Kinder Morgan project. He opted to put the environment at risk in favour of an economic benefit. And Christy Clark did the same when she declared her support. It is often said we need to wean ourselves off our dependence on fossil fuels. But that cannot be accomplished by expanding oil related infrastructure, or accepting million dollar buy-offs, or by declaring an inefficient spill clean-up system as “world-class.” If the ultimate objective is to develop a non-polluting economy, there has to be a significant move by governments to formulate a transitional plan. Let’s face it. A carbon tax and an international pledge to reduce greenhouse gases doesn’t constitute an overall strategy to combat climate change. These are, at best, small hesitant steps. At worst, political posturing. Bill Brassington Sr., Burnaby

Pipeline too risky Continued from page 6 We of Concerned Professional Engineers believe strongly that we should know what that risk is before the project begins. As our premier, you have the obligation to back up your decisions and show transparency in your evaluations, particularly when they involve very large and risky projects. What is needed in this argument of benefit versus risk is to put numbers in dollars beside the likelihood of a catastrophic event. One way we can see this being done properly is to ask a large risk insurance company for a properly evaluated study of risks that sets insurance premiums for unlimited liability to be required by the tanker companies coming to pick up and take away the oil. It is easy for Kinder Morgan to talk about the sevenfold increase in tanker traffic being safe and acceptable because they carry none of the risk in tanker transits after leaving their terminal loaded or before arriving to their terminal empty.The risks during navigation rest solely with the tanker company, whose resources are or may be limited. Ultimately, the risks fall on the taxpayers as represented by the B.C. and federal governments to pay the costs to repair and rebuild the bridges. Therefore it is CPE’s request for you to work with Prime Minister Trudeau and ensure that a proper risk assessment of the bridges be done and that the risk assessment include recommendations to increase the strength of the footings of the railway bridge to limit the damage done by ship collisions. When this is done, a proper risk-benefit assessment of the expansion can be made. Brian Gunn is the spokesperson for Concerned Professional Engineers.

Jack Burns I wouldn’t expect Burnaby’s mayor to see very often at the front line of the “... blockades and the 20,000 people who have already pledged to do ‘whatever it takes’ to stop it. ...” As the NOW recently reported, he already cancelled his “standing in front of the bulldozer” event Mayor Corrigan: “... I think everybody knows that when you say something like that, it’s symbolic. It means that you will be taking this farther in regard to the opposition, and that’s really where we’re going to find there’s thousands and thousands of people in the Lower Mainland, here in British Columbia, who feel very passionately about this issue,” he said. ...” [BurnabyNOW] My gut tells me that “symbolism” also applies to his promise to go to jail on this matter, which he said would effectively end his career as a lawyer. I would expect him, though, to follow through on his promise to fight the Kinder Morgan decision in the courts, if he runs for office again. He ain’t stupid. The tax payers themselves would foot the bill for the lawyers of this election campaign gimmick.

Shelter gets more use in winter cold snap bill smith How can this be??? ... NDP/ BCA Corrigan tells us that there are no homeless people in Burnaby. This is why Burnaby is one of the only Metro Vancouver municipalities without a permanent homeless shelter Kawi bill smith Homelessness is not the mandate of city officials or small town mayors. They are the responsibility of the provincial and federal government. Most homeless people belong in hospitals but unfortunately those are extremely expensive so they process them in shelters and prisons. The thing I like about Burnaby is the fact that they don’t roll out the carpet for people who are constantly committing crimes to survive as is the case with Surrey. Surrey has drug sites, halfway houses, transition houses, and it’s just jammed packed with services that attracts the mentally ill with drug addiction problems. Good on them but I wouldn’t dare live there. That is why they are suffering from so much crime and shootings - every drug dealer wants to make that gold mine their territory. bill smith Kawi Yes, well, oil pipelines, constitutional law and international trade agreements are also “not the mandate of city officials or small town mayors”. (NDP/BCA Corrigan meddles in all of these matters). JOIN THE CONVERSATION ON TWITTER

City now Grant program unfair: council Continued from page 1 single-family homeowners getting hit the hardest by the increase in property values. Based on 2017 January roll figures from B.C. Assessment, around 47 per cent of single-family homes have an assessed value of less than the lower threshold. In 2016, the number was 51 per cent. For Coun. Sav Dhaliwal, the report confirms what city council has been suggesting all along – the grant program is unfair. “It goes to show while the rest of the province continues to enjoy the same de-

gree of homeowner grant eligibility, Metro Vancouver and particularly Burnaby continues to lose ground every year,” he told the NOW, also pointing out the $200 homeowners in rural and Northern B.C. get back from the carbon tax. Dhaliwal noted the city has lobbied the province to create a separate Metro Vancouver eligibility threshold, also approaching the issue with the Union of B.C. Municipalities. So far, there hasn’t been any movement. The report noted the province’s increase to the

threshold level has “failed” to address the practice of establishing one assessment threshold value for the entire Metro Vancouver area, and the methodology of providing higher thresholds and higher grant amounts for northern and rural areas. “The homeowner grant, the way it is applied, ... needs a full review,” Dhaliwal said. “It really is a very unfair, outdated system that needs to be looked at very seriously.” He said the city will try one more time to lobby the province, reaching out to Metro Vancouver, which has

also expressed an interest in a review of the grant. The finance committee report concluded the average residential property in Burnaby (gross value inclusive of new growth) is now $1.087 million as of 2017 January, which is a 32.5 per cent increase over 2016. The provincial increase in the grant lower threshold equates to a 33 per cent increase. The basic homeowner grant, provided by the province is $570. Seniors, veterans and people with disabilities may qualify for additional grants of $275.

Spending a fortune on prom? Not here Continued from page 1 to de-stigmatize secondhand formal wear for everyone, and that’s good for the environment as well as the pocketbook, according to the organizers. “Usually people buy one of these dresses and it sits in their closet for years and is never touched,” Provencal said. “It’s sad.” The Alpha students hope to grow the event into a district-wide affair, possibly spearheaded by leadership classes in Burnaby’s other high schools.

Despite being two years away from their own prom, the two Grade 10s in the group are happy they’ve helped get the idea off the ground. “We are involved so we can carry it on for the next years because this is definitely going to be a problem for future grades too,” Grade 10 student Alana Leung said. “It’s definitely not something just these Grade 12s are going to face. I don’t want to pay $300 for clothes. No thanks.”

Burnaby seeking a new top money manager The City of Burnaby is on the hunt for a new finance director. The city’s current finance director Denise Jorgenson is retiring from the city after 30 years, and efforts are currently underway to fill the position. The city posted the position on its website last week. City manager Lambert Chu explained the municipality is looking for someone who can provide overall strategic direction to the finance department and also develop strategies to maintain the financial sustain-

ability of the city. “Those are very important qualifications we’re looking for,” he told the NOW, adding it would also be an asset if the next director had experience working in municipal government. Chu said it’s also important to get the right person, adding the new director will have to be a team player and be able to work with other departments. He noted the city is looking at internal candidates but wanted to post the position to be transparent and offer some competition.

The finance director oversees a half-billion-dollar annual operation that has a near billion-dollar reserve. At the end of 2015, the City of Burnaby’s investment portfolio topped the $900 million-mark and returned a healthy profit of $41.5 million, or 3.91 per cent. Chu said Jorgenson leaves the city in an excellent financial situation. In 2015, Jorgenson was the fourth-highest paid employee with the city, earning $213,145. – Jeremy Deutsch

A modern take on traditional liquors Burnaby-based distiller is putting his science background to good use in his growing local business Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

He calls it 19th-century physics. But instead of creating energy, Ian Anderson uses his physics background to create artisanal spirits. Founded in December 2015, Burnaby’s Anderson Distilleries started selling its craft versions of ouzo and soju, popular Greek and Korean alcohols, respectively, to restaurants and private liquor stores last summer, but it was at craft fairs and markets last fall that things really got going. “We haven’t actually been to any liquor stores in quite some time, mainly because we’ve been so busy trying to keep our liqueurs in stock,” Anderson said. The SFU graduate had planned on getting a PhD in physics one day. Instead, he decided to take advantage of the provincial government’s tax exemption for craft distilleries that use 100 per cent B.C.-grown ingredients and start his own business. “It was actually a couple steps backwards because I don’t have to do major quantum mechanics. There’s a little bit of biology that I had to learn, and a little bit of chemistry, but beyond that, it was anything that wasn’t terribly on the difficult side,” he told the NOW. Anderson currently makes three different lines of spirits – Mare Serenitatis, Montague and Sweet Serenitatis. The Mare Serenitatis series is his spin on traditional alcohols like whiskey and gin, while the Montague series is

The science of drinking: Ian Anderson had intended to one day to get a PhD in physics. Instead, he decided to pursue a craft he likens to 19th century physics – distilling. Burnabybased distillery Anderson Distilleries uses a unique process to create craft liquors and liqueurs. PHOTO CHUNG CHOW

for professionals looking for raw flavours, including lemon, lime, mandarin, mint and blackcurrant. The foundation of all of Anderson’s creations is a unique method dubbed the tequila process single malt, which distills the alcohol using a traditional Scotchmaking procedure but ferments it in the fashion as te-

quila makers, he said. But it’s the Sweet Serenitatis line that is especially popular, according to Anderson. Available in several different flavours, the Sweet Serenitatis is made using actual plants. Take Anderson Distilleries’ mint liqueur for example. Anderson steeps real

It’s … interesting from a physics standpoint mint in the alcohol. “So all of the colour and all of the flavour in the end product is from the mint itself,” he said. “It’s actual-

ly kind of interesting from a physics standpoint because it’s bright green, so under a black light – so under UV light – it glows fireball fuchsia, and that’s how you know it’s real chlorophyll.” Anderson Distilleries is located on Underhill Avenue, just off Lougheed Highway. Right now, it’s still a one-man show with An-

derson doing all the distilling himself. He hopes to open a tasting room with regular hours but until then, he plans to keep working on his craft.The process is a time-consuming one, he said, but well worth it in the end.

Creative fun for kids and adults at Burnaby gallery

A one-woman cabaret is coming to the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts as part of the Arts Club on Tour series. Patricia Cano stars in The (Post) Mistress, a one-woman show written by Tomson Highway. Cano plays the charming and effervescent MarieLouise, a postal worker in the fictional town of Lovely who seems to know everything about everyone and is eager to share all the gossip. “The (Post) Mistress is a beautiful musical about the size of the human spirit,” said director John Cooper. “It celebrates transcendence and resilience in the human experience, and Tomson creates remarkably fresh imagery that informs and frames both the story and the music.” Cano has a longstanding working relationship with Highway, having performed in his world pre-

If you’ve been itching to get creative for the new year, Burnaby Art Gallery can help. The gallery is once again offering a range of programs for both kids and adults, and there are some fun options coming up in February. On Thursday, Feb. 9, adults (aged 16 and up) are invited to take part in a shadow puppet workshop, in connection with the Hank Bull: Connexion exhibition on at the gallery now. It runs from 6 to 8:30 p.m. and costs $23. On Sunday, Feb. 12, there’s a free family dropin from 1 to 4 p.m., which gives you a chance to check out the exhibition and get into the studio to make your own art.The theme is Shadow Puppets. On Friday, Feb. 17, the gallery kicks off another session of Parent and Tot: Artful Duo classes for preschoolers with caregivers.

One-woman cabaret takes to the stage on Feb. 2 and 3

miere of Rose and four other productions of The (Post) Mistress alongside Highway on piano. In this production, she will be joined by Michael Creber on piano and Chris Startup on saxophone. Creber is also the musical director, and Tara Cheyenne Friedenberg is the choreographer. The (Post) Mistress is onstage at the Shadbolt, 6450 Deer Lake Ave., on Thursday and Friday, Feb. 2 and 3, at 8 p.m. Tickets are $46 regular, or $41 for students and seniors.

Clean team: Burnaby Hospital is one of three Fraser Health Authority sites trying out ultraviolet germicidal irradiation machines to kill germs that linger on surfaces even after a traditional wipe-down with bleach or hydrogen peroxide. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

An earlier trial at Surrey Memorial Hospital showed an 80 per cent reduction in bacteria in patient rooms after disinfection with the UV machine, according to Fraser Health. The pilot at Burnaby, Ridge Meadows and Abbotsford began in November and the robots will be trialed in six high-volume in-patient units for six months. “That’s where we have our largest risk because of more people coming in and out,” Still said.

Fraser Health is currently renting each machine at a cost of about $6,600 per month, but if the pilot is successful, the health authority will considering buying them at a price of just over $130,000 each, according to Still. Patients are removed from rooms during a cleaning, which takes about 20 minutes for a small patient room and more for larger areas. “We have to move it to make sure it hits every surface that we can get to in that room,” Still said.

A germ-zapping robot is being put to the test at Burnaby Hospital to combat deadly hospital-acquired infections. Affectionately dubbed “the Germinator” by hospital staff, the new ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) machine gives off pulses of UV light that kill stubborn microbes that linger on surfaces even after a traditional wipe-down with bleach or hydrogen peroxide. The intense light kills so-called superbugs like C. (Clostridium) difficile, MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) by damaging their DNA and RNA. Burnaby Hospital is one of three Fraser Health facilities (Ridge Meadows and Abbotsford regional hospitals are the other two) piloting the use of the robots, made by U.S. company Xenex. The local hospital made

headlines five years ago when a group of senior doctors reported there had been 84 C. difficile-related deaths there and 473 cases in just two-and-a-half years. The physicians called the hospital’s response to the problem “ineffectual” and bad enough to be considered medical negligence. Within two years the hospital had cleaned up its act, driving the rate well below the national target of 6.0 cases per 10,000 patient days, but C. difficile infections have again crept past that target several times in the past year and a half. Between Aug. 12 and Sept. 8, the rate was 9.0. Along with enhanced hands-on cleaning, Fraser Health is looking to the UV robot for help, according to Burnaby Hospital clinical operations director Coralei Still. “We want to see zero rates,” she told the NOW, “so anything is of concern. When we’ve worked as hard as we had, any kind of increase – we get on top of it right away.”

SCHOOL TROUBLES

Liberal Port Moody-Burnaby Mountain MLA Christy Clark (seen above at right) had her game face on during a tour of overcrowded Burnaby South Secondary with parent advisory council president Diana Mumford in November 1998. The opposition MLA was aghast at the overcrowding at the old school, which was surrounded by 28 portables. “It’s like a shanty-town village,” Clark said. “It looks so permanent.” “That’s what we’re afraid of,” said Mumford.

About Chinese New Year Each year at the turn of the lunar Chinese calendar, celebrants gather for a festival that remains one of the most *8<N8+'KN" *,'8K: KN= economic holidays for those of Chinese descent.

end religious ceremony during the Shang Dynasty (1766 to 1122 BCE). Others date it back even further.

Lakers new boss pumped Burnaby juniors to target playoff berth

Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

There’s no question – the task at hand is huge. But a challenge isn’t something Jason Dallavalle backs down from. The newly minted Burnaby junior Lakers lacrosse coach said the finish of last year’s B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League season is something the team can learn from. “It’s very exciting, taking on this job,” Dallavalle told the NOW. “I know we have the makings of a good team, because we definitely have a lot of heart.” As part of Brad Parker’s coaching staff in Burnaby the past three seasons, he knows how the hill has appeared to get steeper, going from a five-win, sixth-place finish inYear 1, to last year’s 3-18 record, one win more than dead-last Nanaimo. After starting the season at 1-1, the Lakers lurched through some rough patches, including an eightgame losing skid that saw them outscored 110-50. “It was a difficult end to the year,” he noted. “But in the end we put it behind us, move on.” A new season isn’t just about hope but about potential, and Dallavalle sees plenty of that in the lineup. Among the returnees are Jordan Gabriele, Jesse Gastaldo and Patrick Shoemay, who took over as interim captain after the trade deadline last year. Depth in net, led by third-year stopper Graham Husick, is an enviable strength, while some skilled sticks from intermediate ranks will press for big roles. Just as it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a united organization to turn around a franchise, and that is an area Dallavalle points to with confidence. Parker remains onboard as an advisor, while Dallavalle has a good rapport with general manager Jamie Scott. “We’re on the same page,” he said. The club’s late spiral was enabled by the annual sell-off of veteran players, who are moved to end their junior careers with a playoff race or rented out for a few weeks for prospects and draft picks. Last year, Burnaby moved out perennial leaders Aidan Milburn and Danny Spagnuolo. Players were thrown into new positions and lessons were learned. It’s something the coach embraces. “I’m constantly learning, and you have to learn, absorb and adjust your style for the games and even sometimes each shift,” he said. The team held fitness testing on Thursday, and camp is expected to begin, informally, next week.

Bulldogs persist in league showdown Byrne Creek last of the undefeated Burnaby-NewWest league teams as playoffs loom

Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

This long-standing rivalry still has legs. For a second year in a row, the Byrne Creek Bulldogs-Burnaby South Rebels senior boys basketball regular season game was a mustsee event, and one that likely set the stage for a great showdown in the upcoming BurnabyNew West league playoffs. This time, the Bulldogs got off to a good start and maintained a lead the rest of the way en route to a 79-65 victory on Wednesday. Martin Djunga set the tone with 21 points, while Wel Deng counted 15 points and dominated along the boards to dampen the Rebels’ rally attempts. “It was just one of those games where the rivalry was there so both teams were going to bring it,” said Byrne Creek coach Bal Dhillon. “We got off to a good start but they kept after us.” Last year, it was South which cashed in to claim the regular season crown, only to lose the playoff final to the Bulldogs.With the Rebels currently ranked eighth in the province among Quad-A programs, Dhillon said Wednesday’s challenge was to not get distracted from what had earned them a top-10 ranking of their own. “(Burnaby South) is a good team, they’ve got some real quick guards, they shoot the three well, and they have size up the middle,” remarked Dhillon. “But they were missing a few of their ‘Bigs’ and that likely didn’t help.” The hosts led by eight after 10 minutes and just seven at halftime, but were cautious knowing the skill across the floor.The Rebels got a strong first half from Kenan Krupic, who tal-

lied 13 points and eight boards. In the second half, a well-balanced offence made it difficult to pin the Bulldogs down, limiting the point-runs for Burnaby South at the same time. A 13-point advantage after 30 minutes was

briefly expanded to 20 points before the Rebels got in a few late buckets to make it closer. The Bulldogs’ Bithow Wan chipped in 14 points while Abdul Bangura contributed 12. Last weekend Byrne Creek were given a wake-up call at the Robert Bateman tournament, where they suffered an opening round 85-81 loss to then-unranked McMath.They responded by averaging 102 points per game over its next two tests, with wins over Wellington and Valleyfield. “We’ve got a young team and I think they’ve learned some tough lessons, and our returning guys have learned some lessons from last year,” said the Bulldogs coach. “We definitely don’t want to get too excited, (as) we still have one league game before the playoffs start (Feb. 6).” The Rebels, meanwhile, had started the week with a 83-63 decision over Burnaby North, after going 2-1 on the weekend at the Killarney Cougars Classic tourney.They marched into the final on the strength of sturdy wins over Fraser Heights, 77-50, and St. Patrick’s, 85-62, before the host Cougars pounced for a 101-71 decision in the final. While the Bulldogs may have an extra notch to its record, and are the last undefeated team in the league, Dhillon said last year’s lesson – where they lost the league title to South but reversed the decision in the playoff final – can’t be forgotten. “It’s not done, we’re not done, by a good margin.We’ve still got to be ready to play and can’t look past anyone,” said Dhillon. Byrne Creek is ranked 10th in Triple-A’s recent provincial rankings. With the win, Byrne Creek improved to 7-0 with one game – Monday at Burnaby North – left.

SFU knocks off Knights

The SFU men’s wrestling team scored a 27-18 win over the Warner Pacific Knights in their dual meet last week in Portland, Ore., finishing 6-4 overall. The 141-lb, 157-lb, 174-lb, and 285-lb weight classes were all decided by forfeit, with the three latter divisions all going to the Clan’s Tanner Spray, Reid Watkins, and Sean Molle, respectively. It came a few weeks after a 3-1 setback at the Tracy Borah duals, which provided ample motivation. Of the contested bouts, CruzVelasquez got SFU on the board with his 5-2 decision over Joshua Crager in the 133-lb class, cutting into the 6-0 lead that the Knights picked up af-

ter Joshua Johnson pinned Burnaby Mountain’s Oscar Bulaqui (125-lb). In the 149-lb match, Clan rookie Taber Spray was bested by Warner’s Charles Peterson in a 12-9 decision, while Taylor Johnson scored a 7-0 decision over SFU’s Graham Fader in the 165-lb category. Josh Kim (184-lb) and Ciaran Ball (197-lb) scored 4-1 and 6-2 decisions for the Clan in their respective divisions, getting the better of the Knights’ Joe Dickinson and Brandon Morgan. SFU competed at North Idaho College yesterday, and are in San Francisco this weekend for the California Collegiate Open.
