HUMAN RIGHTS COMPLAINT

Hero firefighter now fighting landlords The B.C. Human Rights Tribunal dismisses Remigiusz Janus’ claims that he has suffered discrimination By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The B.C. Human Rights Tribunal has dismissed the complaint of a former Polish firefighter who waded through thick black smoke five years ago to pull a neighbour from a burning

Burnaby apartment. Remigiusz Janus was presented with a certificate of bravery in April 2012 for going back into his Inman Avenue apartment building to save his neighbour after alerting the fire department about kitchen a fire in his neighbour’s apartment.

“He entered the suite with heavy, heavy black smoke,” said Burnaby fire Chief Shaun Redmond in April 2012. “He went in as far as he could and decided to turn back when he couldn’t locate his neighbour. It was then that he stepped on (his neighbour)

Mr. Mochev, and then he dragged him out and took him down the four floors.” Janus relocated to Ridgelawn Gardens in North Burnaby a little over a year after the fire. He filed a human rights complaint against his new landlords, Affordable Hous-

ing Societies, in March 2016, alleging the non-profit had discriminated against him based on his physical disability and source of income. According to tribunal documents, Janus, who used a cane when he first moved to Ridgelawn Gardens, said

City now ‘There is conﬂicting evidence’ – Ohler

Serial armed robber nabbed at SkyTrain

Continued from page 1 apartment because no renovations would be done. The society denies Janus was mistreated and argues it provided him with a unit for tenants with disabilities, maintained it in good condition and took steps to repair or offer improvements as necessary. It pointed to a November 2016 Residential Tenancy Board ruling that found Janus was not entitled to the improvements he had been asking for. In dismissing Janus’ complaint, tribunal member Emily Ohler said it didn’t have a reasonable prospect of succeeding because whatever mistreatment he might have experienced at the hands of his landlords did not appear to be linked to his disability. “There is nothing before me to show that Mr. Janus advised the society at any point prior

to filing his human right complaint that the improvements he sought to the unit were linked to any of his medical conditions,” Ohler stated in a decision on May 17. Ohler did not rule out the possibility Janus was bullied but said it was unlikely he would be able to prove it was because of his disability. “There is conflicting evidence,” she said, “and it may

well be the case that the society’s representatives on the alleged occasion treated Mr. Janus poorly, but the allegations themselves and the surrounding evidence do not support Mr. Janus’ allegations that his protected characteristics (disability and source of income) were a factor.” None of the allegations have been proven in court.

A serial armed robber from theYukon who once escaped custody by running shoeless from a Whitehorse courtroom was arrested at a Burnaby SkyTrain station last week. Richard Linklater, 35, was under a 10-year longterm supervision order when he was caught by Transit Police forcing his way through a faregate at the Edmonds SkyTrain station last Thursday, according to a police press release. He initially lied about his name, police said, but eventually gave his real name, leading to the discovery of a warrant. Linklater became “very agitated” when he was told he was going to be arrested, according to police, and told officers they would have to take him “the hard way.” When extra officers arrived, however, he was taken into custody without incident. A search revealed Linklater was carrying a quantity of drug paraphernalia, police said. Linklater has 50 adult convictions, including eight violent offences to his credit, according

to court documents. Linklater stayed illegally at large for nearly a month in 2015, after he ran out of a Whitehorse courtroom shoeless as a justice of the peace was giving reason for detaining him. After he pleaded guilty to that offence as well as counts of robbery, fraud, driving while disqualified and breaking probation, theYukon Territorial Court imposed a longterm supervision order on him in February. The Crown initially sought to have him declared a dangerous offender, which would have kept him behind bars indefinitely, but Crown counsel later joined Linklater’s lawyer in calling for the 10-year longterm supervision order. Linklater had pledged to get mental health treatment and stop using drugs. “…There is a reasonable possibility of eventual control of the risk of future offending behaviour in the community,” Judge Heino Lilles stated in his decision. – By Cornelia Naylor

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Debt and depression – an ugly combo Our economy is built on commercial trade, and so it’s no surprise some people get caught in a spiral of debt. And when they do, they often suffer from anxiety and depression. These mental health concerns are the dark underbelly of the consumer culture that seems to reward shopping – some call it “retail therapy” – while ignoring an honest discussion of finances.

People don’t like to talk about their debt until they really get into problems because doing so seems to be an admission of failure. But with high housing costs, burgeoning student loans, low interest rates and constant bombardment by banks to upgrade credit limits and cards, not to mention the ease of online shopping, it’s no surprise some people get into trouble. Maybe it’s time to open up debate and do more re-

search on the social and mental health sides of consumer debt, and spread the word through advertising and a social media campaign. For those who take this issue seriously, the 2017 B.C. Consumer Debt Study offers some surprising links between debt and depression. According to a survey of 1,300 participants with unsecured debt of between $25,000 and $49,000, 97

per cent indicated their debt caused them to feel anxiety, sadness, discouragement, fear and panic. Nearly a third reported suffering diagnosed depression, and said their debt was part of the problem, while almost 20 per cent admitted their financial issues were leading them to consider suicide. It’s a shame people get in so far over their heads they feel they have few options for getting out from under this burden.

According to this study, the leading cause of debt was over-extension of credit and financial mismanagement at 26 per cent, but many other causes were to blame as well: unemployment, layoffs and wage cuts (15.1 per cent), marital or relationship breakdown (12.4 per cent), illness and injury or health-related problems (12.4 per cent). As well, unexpected emergencies, business failure and caring for a child with

chronic illness were among other causes of debt, suggesting sometimes life gets in the way of the best-laid plans. Although financial mismanagement is a big part of the problem, it’s not the only cause of indebtedness, and perhaps a combination of financial literacy as well as more support and tools for help could encourage people to deal with debt before it takes over their lives.

MY VIEW DERMOD TRAVIS

‘Mechanics’ of voting are critical Elections have two key components: the race and the mechanics – the legislative process and administration of the vote. The race gets the media coverage, not so much the mechanics, even though it can have far more impact on the results than many might imagine. The number of registered voters didn’t get much attention during the campaign. In April, there were 3,156,991. Notable because it’s 19,464 voters less than there were in 2013. In a province like B.C., that shouldn’t happen. It’s not the result of how the voters list was built, more how it’s been managed. Using data provided by Elections Canada, roughly 40,000 voters were purged from the list in 2016, according to Elections B.C. “In December 2016, we processed a file of records of voters whose address on the (national list) changed from within B.C. to outside B.C. We removed approximately 40,000 voters.We believe this process, which was not performed in the lead-up to the 2013 general election, improved the overall accuracy of the voters list.” No kidding on the accuracy part, but that also says something about the earlier lists. Something else of note about the race was how remarkably efficient the B.C. Liberal party’s vote was. The party only needed 170,234 votes – 21 per cent of their 796,672 total – to lock up 20 ridings, nearly half of their seats. The Liberals put 10 seats into their column with

69,857 votes. Seven are among B.C.’s 17 “protected” ridings that account for nearly one out of every five seats in the legislature. Here’s where it gets messy. After every other election, B.C.’s electoral boundaries commission goes into action to ensure the electoral map meets the test of “effective representation,” defined as “relative parity,” while accounting for special circumstances, such as geography, community history, community interests and minority representation. According to its 2007 report, “B.C. is among the group of jurisdictions that gives their commissions the greatest latitude, adopting a plus or minus 25 per cent deviation limit.” In 2014, the commission was given its marching orders by the B.C. government: two new seats could be added to the existing 85, but 17 hand-picked ridings had to be protected. At the end of the day, the 17 first-class ridings had an average of 25,382 voters and the 70 second-class an average of 38,935. Quite a range among the full 87, though. Stitkine has the lowest number of voters at 13,240 andVernonMonashee the highest with 47,373. Using the April voters list, the 25 per cent rule would see Nelson-Creston with 27,338 registered voters on one end, ParksvilleQualicum (44,743) on the other and 68 in between. Seventeen ridings overshoot the 25 per cent deviation, but only 10 are among the 17 “protected” ridings. Continued on page 7

Opinionnow We need voting reform

Dear Editor: The public agreement put forward by the B.C. NDP and the B.C. Green Party to govern B.C. has some excellent proposals. For me, the most important ones are the commitment to party finance reform and most especially, the plan to hold a referendum on electoral reform in 2018. The problem with our current voting system (first past the post) is that it has no mechanism to make sure the seats in the legislature match the vote for each party. As a result they never do, and we often end up with majority governments that are not supported by a majority of voters. That’s what happened in 2013 when the B.C. Liberals won a majority based on 44 per cent of the vote. Proportional systems result in legislatures that are better reflections of how we vote. A 40 per cent vote for a particular party should result in 40 per cent of the seats going to that party. A majority government should represent a majority of voters, and with proportional representation, that’s how it works. What that means is a government elected under a proportional system is more likely to make policy decisions that better reflect majority opinion. If the election last month had been held proportionally, the Liberals and NDP would each have received around 40 per cent of the 87 seats in the legislature and the Greens would have received 17 per cent. That translates to 35 or 36 seats each for the Liberals and NDP and 15 seats for the Greens. With those numbers, we would not be faced with the current impasse we have

in Victoria. Instead we would likely have a stable NDP/Green majority representing 57 per cent of the electorate. We need a proportional voting system! Iain Macanulty, Burnaby

Is this gerrymandering? Continued from page 6 Since land mass is part of the special circumstances test, let’s see how much it mattered in the government’s selection? The 17 first-class ridings range from 2,437 to 196,446 square kilometres, but nine other ridings are within that range. Can’t be size. Perhaps it’s the number of voters? The 17 range from 13,240 to 42,054 voters, but 54 ridings fit within that spread. Can’t be voters. Maybe it’s a form of gerrymandering? How did the 17 ridings vote? Thirteen went for the Liberals – representing 30 per cent of their total seats – and four went to the NDP. Might be something to that gerrymandering idea. Under the Liberals, the number of protected ridings has nearly tripled from six in 2001 to 17 today. Before B.C. votes again, the government must refer these boundaries to the B.C. Court of Appeal to determine whether they comply with Section 3 of the Charter of Rights. Dermod Travis is the executive director of Integrity B.C., www.integritybc.ca.

Grad send-off rhymes with proboscis and calcium By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Building a commencement address around words like proboscis and calcium, a Burnaby teacher surprised his school’s grad class with a spoken word poem for their leaving ceremony last Wednesday. Without telling them why he was doing it, Byrne Creek Community School English teacher Mark Smith had asked each of his school’s Grade 12 students to submit a word describing their school experience. His plan was to stitch them into a spoken word poem to present to the grads at their leaving ceremony May 30. “When I saw ‘proboscis’ and ‘calcium,’ I figured some of the kids were just trying to have some fun with me,” he said in a press release. “But I said I wanted to use every word, so why not? That was my gift

to them.” Every word submitted to Smith before his deadline – about two thirds of the approximately 190 grads submitted – made its way into his poem. Some of the lines referenced pop culture and inside jokes used by students around the school; others were designed to inspire and encourage. The verses “Bright as the sun, like lightning off of Pi-

kachu; I need to shade my eyes just to peek at you!” – drew cheers. “I didn’t want to give the students any old speech. They’ve heard all my lectures.They deserved something fresh,” Smith said. A video of his presentation, shot by Byrne Creek grad Sopithan Rajeswaran, has been posted onYou Tube at tinyurl.com/ByrneGrad.

Burnaby author turns book dream to reality Author’s first children’s novel helps to raise money for a good cause Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

Nancy Duarte recalls the moment, many years ago, when she realized that she was a perhaps-overly-cuddly kind of mom. She had her then-small daughter on her lap while she was chatting with a cousin, and every now and then Duarte would – as mothers are wont to do – lean down and kiss her daughter’s head. Until her cousin said: “Let her breathe, Nancy!” Duarte remembers being slightly taken aback but thinking: Hey, she’s my daughter, and she’s only going to let me get away with it for so long, so I might as well enjoy it while I can. It was the germ of an idea that would eventually grow into a full-fledged story, Too Many Kisses – recently released in book form by Peppermint Toast Publishing. The book tells the story of a small boy with a problem: you guessed it, his mother just gives him too many kisses. Duarte notes the story stemmed from a combination of things – that moment with her daughter; the realization that her nieces and nephews were much less “huggy” than she is; the journey with her own children as she watched them grow out of the need for mom’s cuddles. “It’s definitely based on our life,” she says with a laugh, noting that her son grew his independent streak earlier than her daughter did. “They can recognize it.”

Duarte’s son is now 13, and her daughter will be 17 in August.The story, she notes, has been many years in the making. She wrote the first draft when her son was small – a quick little tale she dashed off in about half an hour.Way back then she tried sending it to a couple of publishers, and over the years she has sporadically revived it and tried again. But it had gone back into the drawer and sat untouched until Duarte read an article in the Burnaby NOW a few years ago about Peppermint Toast, a new independent press started by New Westminster’s Grayson Smith to focus on children’s literature. Duarte particularly liked the fact that Smith was committed to the idea of helping charities with each of his books. “I loved the idea of just being tied to the community and giving back,” she says. She messaged Smith right away, and he liked her idea. The connection quickly grew into a full-fledged plan to release Duarte’s book. Duarte is thrilled with the finished product. Smith found an illustrator, Harriet Rodis – working remotely from overseas – who was able to create illustrations that captured exactly what was in Duarte’s mind. “I’ve never met her, but I loved what she did with it,” Duarte says. “It’s exactly like I would have wanted. I think I’m really lucky like that.” She also loves the design of the book. Smith came up with the idea to set it up in the style of a kid’s school notebook, with ruled pag-

Most of all, Duarte is excited to be able to help out a charity that holds personal meaning for her: the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.The foundation has been one of Duarte’s favourite charities for many years, since her now23-year-old niece was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes at age five.The cover price of Too Many Kisses is $9, and $2 from the sale of every book goes straight to the foundation.

and LitFest NewWest. She’s also paid visits to classrooms to present the book to kids and hold discussions with them about it. “They always have lots of questions,” she says, noting

It’s cute hearing them giggle and enjoy the story

that her biggest fan base is in the Grade 1 and 2 classrooms. “It’s cute hearing them giggle and enjoy the story.”

There’s a serious side to Duarte’s story, too: she wants to use it, in an entertaining way, to share a message with kids – especially the four- to eight-year-old crowd it’s aimed at. “It’s OK to speak up if you don’t feel like getting a kiss,” she says. “They can put themselves in that place. I think it connects with kids; I hope it connects with kids in a lot of different situations.” Duarte has some other ideas percolating for future books; for one, she’d like to follow her protagonist into a second story, set when he’s a little bigger. At the moment, however,

she’s not a full-time writer – her day job sees her working in internet services for a vitamin company. “It would be wonderful to get another book out, but I need to press pause on life first,” she says with a laugh. “When I win the lottery I’m definitely going to spit them out.” For now, she’ll continue to promote the book in the hope of selling as many copies as possible – “the more kids read it, the happier I’ll be,” she says – and she knows she’s achieved what she set out to do. She wanted to show her kids that even when Continued on page 12

Live at the ’Bolt winds up the season Julie MacLellan LIVELY CITY

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

The Shadbolt Centre for the Arts is wrapping up its 2016/17 season with a big band finale. Composer-clarinetist James Danderfer is featured in the season-ending Live at the ’Bolt night on Thursday, June 22 at 8 p.m. Danderfer is at the helm of Hummingbird Brigade, featuring 16 of Canada’s finest jazz musicians in a contemporary take on the New Orleans brass band tradition. With Derry Byrne and Chris Davis on trumpet, Rod Murray and Slaps Mynett on trombone, Chops Grande, Colin Maskell and Chad Makela on sax, Chris Gestrin on organ, and Joe Poole and Paul Bray on percussion, the band mixes soul, funk and jazz in a performance that pays tribute to the 1930s lounges and cabarets of New Orleans and Chicago. Tickets are $18. See

tickets.shadboltcentre.com or call 604-205-3000. SUNDAY AT THE OPERA Opera lovers, save the date: Burnaby Lyric Opera is returning to the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts on Sunday, June 18 for the final concert of its season. The group, which promotes the talents of emerging professional opera singers in B.C., is bringing its Opera on a Sunday Afternoon concert series to the stage at 3 p.m. This concert features Chloé Hurst and Emma Parkinson, two stars of Burnaby Lyric Opera productions of La Bohème and Carmen, along with Tamar Simon, a young guest artist from UBC.The three will present music from La Bohème, Carmen, Madama Butterfly, La Traviata, Don Pasquale and more, directed by David Boothroyd. The show is set for the recital hall in Studio 103. Tickets are $15, available through tickets.shadboltcen tre.com or 604-205-3000. Shadbolt Centre is at 6450

Continued from page 11 something seems really big and difficult to achieve – like writing a book and having it published – it can still be doable. “I wanted to set an example to show that, even if it takes 10 years, it can happen,” she says with a smile. “I’m one of those people, I have a lot of ideas and I’m crazy enough to try.”

Music man: James Danderfer and his 16-piece band bring the New Orleans brass band tradition to life for the final Live at the ’Bolt event of the season at Shadbolt Centre. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

The event is set for Saturday, June 10 at Capitol Hill Community Hall.

Most people do functional, so things that you can use – things for the table. Some people do decorative things – things to put on your wall or things to put on your table.” Items range in price, from $3 to $100, notes Swanson.

A CHASTE ROMANCE With a full-colour poster of Tom Selleck (top right corner) for inspiration, romance writer Moyra Tarling works on her latest novel, A Kiss and a Promise, at her Burnaby home. By December 1987, the 39-year-old had published three books. Her latest, Tender Trap, published by Silhouette Romance, took eight months to write and revise. “In my books, they only kiss,” she told the NOW. “I’m not prude, but I don’t like the ‘He’s got his fingers here and this hand there…’ My heroines are virgins. Of course I have to give a plausible reason why they’ve stayed that way.” PHOTO NOW ARCHIVES

from a small contingent of Grade 8 girls, the Knights returned home with 15 medals. “We have high expectations because we are consistently in the top five in the province,” STM track and field coach Dave Mattiazzo said. “While there is no title for Grade 8’s, (STM) did have the most points for a Grade 8 (team). The future of the Knights track and field team looks very promis-

Chiefs in restocking mode with Burnaby move BC major midget hockey team enters summer with new faces and new home Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Summer isn’t even officially here and already Jamie Jackson is counting the days until mid-August. That’s when his Vancouver Northeast Chiefs hockey squad gains access to its new digs at Burnaby’s Canlan Ice Sports 8-Rinks in preparation for the 2017-18 B.C. Major Midget Hockey League season. Yes, outside of Pittsburgh and Nashville, hockey is still alive and kicking. The Chiefs have a lot of rebuilding to do – but unlike the struggling-to-retool local NHL club – their situation is due to success.The Northeast squad is coming off a strong year, finishing second overall with a 32-5-0 record in the 11-team major midget circuit. All of their eligible-to-return players have gone up the ladder or are knocking on the door. Thankfully, there’s a constant flow of hungry 15- to-17 year olds chomping to take their place. “We’ve got to start all over again because we don’t have any players expected back,” said Jackson. “It’s something we’ve been through before, and, the last time we faced that challenge, it worked out well.” Three seasons ago, the organization played the underdog role to the hilt, ending up as 2014-15 B.C. champions.The following year was a transition season, where newcomers and youngsters blended to gain confidence at the major midget level. It paid off last season when they were the secondbest club in the league. It ended in a disappointing playoff exit, falling 2-1 to the Greater Vancouver Canadians in the semifinals last March. The offseason has seen other changes as well, with the program shifting its home base from Coquitlam to Burnaby, and the team holding its main spring camp two weeks ago when more than 80 players competed for positions and a chance to pull on a jersey once worn by the NHL’s Ryan Johansen and Patrick Wiercioch, and Seattle T-birds star Mathew Barzal. Drawing talent from east Burnaby, New Westminster, the Tri-Cities, Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge, Jackson’s Chiefs won’t have trouble icing a talented team. But being competitive takes dedication, sacrifice and chemistry. All these new faces will give Jackson and his coaching staff plenty to work with.

On target: Coquitlam’s Quinton Hill, No. 75, gets turned back by Burnaby netminder Michael Harroch during the Vancouver Northeast Chiefs’ major midget spring camp two weeks ago. The team expects a whole new lineup for the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League season, as it moves to Burnaby’s Canlan Ice Sports facility.

“I feel this is probably the youngest group, but we definitely have impressive potential on defence,” said Jackson. “I really like our core on the back end among the guys we carded. “They are all hard working and quality hockey players.” There are only two potential returnees from last year’s run, and both are more than likely going to move up to the B.C. Hockey League, said Jackson. Burnaby’s Christian Buono, who contributed 18 goals and 27 assists, is expected to jump to Powell River, while winger Zach Dallazanna, of Port Moody, is heading to Trail. The youngest member of last year’s squad, 15-year-old Ethan Leyh of Anmore, is going junior A with Langley after finishing fourth in league scoring with 31 goals and 33 assists. On defence, Jonny Sheardown, another Burnaby product who tallied 17 goals and 23 assists over 40 games, is jumping to Alberta’s Brooks Bandits, who competed at the Royal Bank Cup last month, led by highly touted Cale Makar. Fellow blueliner and BWC alum Juliano Santalu-

cia is also going the Alberta A-league route, signing with Olds. While he feels pleased with the talent coming in at defence and goal, Jackson said the offence is lined with potential. Led by a couple of high WHL draft picks, and a few affiliates from last season, the forward puzzle should come together over time.

I really like our core on the back end among the guys we carded. Maple Ridge’s Tyson Phare, taken 18th overall by the Prince George Cougars, has dynamic skills that could be a building block to a No. 1 line, said Jackson. “He is pretty special to watch,” Jackson said of the 15-year-old forward, who played atYale Hockey Academy a year ago. The club also signed the Burnaby Winter Club’s Kyler Kovich, a left winger who was selected 78th overall by Red Deer.

At least two other Burnaby products – Burnaby minor hockey’s Dante Ballarin, a forward, and BWC defenceman Zachary Abenante – will be looking to turn last year’s brief call-ups into regular playing time.They have also carded Burnaby Dman Jackson Murphy-Johnson. They all continue to skate at an informal camp this week, with a number of players still looking to impress to fill the 20-man roster.While he can’t promise the team will jump out of the chute come October and be among the top challengers, Jackson is confident the team has the potential to expand expectations as the season progresses. Come Aug. 15, when they take the keys to the Vancouver Canucks’ former practice dressing room at 8-Rinks, a lot of the unknown will be closer to reality. Even though his lineup will be all new, other teams will certainly be looking to avenge the lumps the Chiefs handed out last year, Jackson noted. “That’s a good thing,” he said. “What the program has done commands a level of respect and helps us maintain a standard we always want to be at,” said Jackson.

Mountain runner leans into a silver Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

With no club training and no real track for her school’s team to practice on, Hannah Vorell entered the provincial high school track and field championships last week as unknown as could be. Competing in the invitational Grade 8 event, the 13-year-old multi-sport athlete wasn’t expecting a medal but was going to make sure she was in the hunt. To her surprise, the Burnaby Mountain Lions runner finished the 400-metre girls race second overall, overcoming a handful of runners to lean ahead at the line for silver. “I wasn’t expecting to get any medals because I was ranked fifth or sixth, so finishing second was a real surprise. I’m pretty happy,” said Vorell. “My goal was just to make it to provincials and just have fun.” Her time of 59.99 seconds, trailing Dr. Knox’s Emma Cannan’s 59.16, was a new personal best. Considering she hasn’t benefitted from any club training, it’s an impressive feat, Lions’ athletic

director Larry Ryan said. “She’s a naturally talented athlete,” remarked Ryan, who also serves as the school’s track and field coach. “She did very well at the districts and I knew she definitely had the talent to do it; we just had to make sure she was prepared mentally for the start line.” Vorell skis, has played soccer for a number of years, and is on Burnaby Mountain’s basketball team. When the track team practiced, they didn’t have a true track to train on.Things had to be improvised, creating various challenges for runners. But it was no fuss for Vorell, who fought off the regular pre-run jitters before breaking out of the blocks. “I was pretty nervous until I started running, but I was really happy to get under one minute.” Ryan said he was impressed how after her race,Vorell returned to the track just over an hour later to compete in the 4x400 – and ran a 1:03. “She just ran a phenomenal race. She just leaned out to get that silver at the perfect time,” he said of the 400m medal.
