Citynow A CLOSER LOOK

Rink AEDs save two lives in less than a month Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Ken Carrusca’s life today really began with the death of another man 11 years ago. Gianfranco Giammaria, a fit, 43-year-old father of two and local elementary school vice-principal, dropped to the ice at Burnaby 8 Rinks on Dec. 30, 2006, struck by a sudden cardiac arrhythmia. If there was an automated external defibrillator (AED) in the building to shock his heart back into rhythm, it wasn’t found in time to save him. Giammaria’s wife, Denise, set out to make sure that never happened again – raising funds and installing the life-saving devices in as many public places as she could through the Gianfranco Giammaria Memorial Society. Its first AEDs went in at Burnaby 8 Rinks in 2008. (The Heart and Stroke Foundation got on board later, and the facility now has 13.) On Jan. 14, one of them brought Ken Carrusca back from the brink of death. With a couple minutes left in the first period of a Sunday afternoon Adult Safe Hockey League (ASHL) game, the 50-yearold went to wheel a puck behind goalie Wes Reamsbottom. “The puck came out the other side of my net, but Kenny didn’t,” Reamsbottom says. Turning to take a drink, he then saw Carrusca lying stomach-down right beside his goalpost. “I asked him if he was OK and he didn’t respond, and he was making this horrible noise,” Reamsbottom says. Throwing off his blocker, glove and helmet, Reamsbottom knelt down beside Carrusca and called for help. Teammate Jason Howell, a former Vancouver paramedic, had been skating up ice and didn’t see Carrusca go down. “The whistle blew. I thought we were getting a penalty,” he says. After decades of hockey, Carrusca had had his fair share of injuries and surgeries, so, when Howell saw it was him on the ice, he figured he’d probably tweaked

his knee. A closer look told him instantly things were much worse. “As soon as I saw him, I was like, ‘Holy shit! What the hell is going on here?’” Carrusca lay rigid with his hands clinched up by his chest, his body uselessly gasping for breath. “At first I thought he had a head injury because that’s a classic sign that the brain is not working,” Howell says. Finding no pulse and seeing Carrusca slip further into unconsciousness, Howell, Reamsbottom and defenceman Tom Levesque tore off his helmet, pads and jersey. “I had to rip the gloves off his hands because his hands were so stiff,” Reamsbottom says. “He was not breathing, he was not responsive and he had no pulse, and it was one of the most terrifying things I’ve ever seen.” Howell began chest compressions, helped at one point by referee Jason Granholm. Someone pulled an AED from a nearby wall. As a former paramedic, Howell knew Carrusca’s chances were miniscule – on the job, he estimates he had seen 20 similar cardiac cases die in the end.

I asked him if he was OK and he didn’t respond “We pressed ‘analyze’ and we got a response from the AED, which was really awesome,” Howell says. “This AED was idiot proof … We pushed ‘press to shock’ and we were able to get pulses back.” With a few breaths of mouth-to-mouth, Carrusca’s breathing was back too before emergency responders arrived. Carrusca continued to improve as paramedics loaded him into the ambulance – Howell says he saw his friend try to push emergency equipment away from him as he regained consciousness. But it wasn’t until Howell saw Carrusca conscious in a Royal Columbian Hospital emergency room that the former paramedic was satisfied his friend’s brain as well

ALL HEART: Above, from left, team members Tom Levesque, Ken Carrusca, Jason Howell and Wes Reamsbottom reunite at 8 Rinks. In January, Carrusca’s life was saved by an AED after a cardiac arrest during a hockey game at the rink. Below, Carrusca recovers at Vancouver General Hospital after a quadruple bypass operation. PHOTO ABOVE CORNELIA NAYLOR PHOTO BELOW CONTRIBUTED as his body had survived his stopped heart. He has to pause for a moment to steady his voice before describing that moment. “Seeing him there, I knew that we’d saved his life,” he says. Carrusca, who has since undergone a quadruple bypass to divert blood around four blocked cardiac arteries, is equally emotional when he recalls Howell, Levesque and Reamsbottom visiting him in the hospital before his surgery. “It was a pretty emotional reunion for me and for them,” he says. “There were tears for sure.The four of us were like little girls – and I say that respectfully.” Carrusca, a husband and father of two, has no memory of his collapse.The last thing he remembers is warming up for the game after joking around with the guys in the change room. “I don’t remember any of that first period,” he says. His cardiac arrest completely blindsided him, he says, and his learning curve about heart problems has been steep. An electrocardiogram he got before an operation on his bicep in July, for example, had revealed no issues. He has since learned the best way to catch problems

like his is a stress test, which measures heart rates during increasingly strenuous exercise – usually on a treadmill or stationary bike. That was news, not just for him, but for everyone on his team. His new life since his heart stopped on the 8 Rinks ice has also driven home the importance of good CPR training and the life-and-death difference AEDs can make. After bringing Carrusca back from the brink in January, 8 Rinks’ AEDs were used again less than a month later to save Jamie Maclaren, another ASHL player who collapsed in a change room on Feb. 1. “It is 100 per cent one of the best pieces of equipment that the public can learn how to use,” Howell says. “CPR itself is really only a Band-Aid to getting that AED hooked up and getting the heart back working as fast as possible.” Eleven years ago, Gianfranco Giammaria didn’t get that chance. Thanks to Denise Giammaria and others who loved her husband, though, Ken Carrusca and Jamie Maclaren did. “I’m grateful that their families aren’t going to have to go through what we’re still going through,” Giam-

maria says. “I’m happy I made a difference. I’m glad that they’re alive.” Giammaria has advocated for years for the government to make AEDs mandatory in certain public places – much like fire extinguishers are now – but politicians and bureaucrats have shown little interest, she said. Howell says making AEDs as common as fire extinguishers might be an

ambitious idea but it’s a good one. “The technology isn’t new anymore,” he says. “It’s not that expensive. … It’s a life-saving device.” No one knows that better than Carrusca. “Without that machine, who knows how long my heart would have been stopped or, obviously, if I’d even be here to chat with you,” he says.

ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENTS

POLICE

Transit cops arrest four wanted men Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A 21-year-old Burnaby man was among four men with outstanding warrants arrested by transit police in four separate incidents last month. On Feb. 23 at approximately 10:40 p.m., a Metro Vancouver Transit Police officer was patrolling near the Metrotown SkyTrain station, when he spotted a man in the Metropolis at Metrotown mall whom he had arrested three weeks earlier. The officer knew the man had release conditions in place prohibiting him from being in the mall. The man, Burnaby resident Nasri Muhammad Nasir, was arrested, and it was determined he was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for aggravated assault and assault with a weapon from the Burnaby RCMP. Muhammad Nasir is well known to police, according to transit police. He was taken into custody for several days and released on conditions which ban him from contacting his alleged victims, visiting the Metrotown mall or getting

within a one block radius of Byrne Creek Community School. He also has a curfew from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m., except for work or when accompanied by his parents. He is scheduled to appear in B.C. provincial court on March 22. In three other separate incidents, transit police caught three other men with outstanding warrants at the Main Street-Science World station on Feb. 17, the Scott Road station on Feb. 18 and the Surrey Central station on Feb. 22. Last year, transit police made a record 837 criminal warrant arrests, according to the police service. “The Metro Vancouver Transit Police is committed to ensuring that our passengers have a safe and comfortable ride when using our transit system,” said Chief Doug LePard in a press release. “By regularly arresting offenders on outstanding criminal warrants and removing them from our system, we are improving safety on the transit system and in the region generally, and ensuring criminal offenders are brought to justice.”

Opinion now OUR VIEW

No more talk – let’s just let 16-year-olds vote Premier John Horgan says he’s going to look at a proposal to allow 16-yearolds to vote and “see if it fits.” Well, the suggestion has our vote. As Andrew Weaver, leader of the B.C. Green Party, pointed out, political parties tend to build their party platforms on who turns out to vote. “When we look at election campaigns right now, most people typically cam-

paign to the demographic they know that will vote. Which is the 65-to-74 (age group), 75 per cent of them turn out.That’s why we hear campaign promises to reduce hip and knee replacement lineups, frankly, because it’s targeting a demographic.” He’s absolutely correct. Advocacy organizations such as Generation Squeeze have been pointing out for years that societal problems that are impacting young-

… the reality is that the system is biased toward the older voter and it shows in myriad government policies er generations, such as the lack of affordable housing, have been shunted to the backburner as older voters’ needs or wants are addressed. And, yes, we know many older voters certainly don’t feel like their wants

are always addressed, but the reality is that the system is biased toward the older voter and it shows in myriad government policies. It makes perfect sense to have 16-year-olds vote who are inheriting, in many

ways, a system built on sustaining an imbalanced status quo. Will this mean politics will be turned on its head? No, probably not. Apathy exists across generations, and we suspect it will take decades before the number of young voters actually correct the age imbalance. But, engaging young people in the democratic process will have side benefits. It will offer them a sense of

engagement and empowerment that is currently lacking. It will also recognize that just because you’re young doesn’t mean that your opinions and commitments are of less value than someone who is older. It will also, potentially, allow older voters a chance to truly hear what younger voters think. It’s a good thing. Let’s just do it.

MY VIEW MIKE KLASSEN

This vote should not be simple One of the basic rules set out in B.C.’s Strata Property Act – which typically comes up during an annual general meeting – is that the strata corporation may amend (as in change, create or delete) bylaws through a threequarters vote of the owners. In other words, a simple majority is deemed insufficient to make changes that could have potentially significant impacts on property owners. A similar rule applies in the Cooperative Association Act.The votes of threequarters of co-op members are required on a range of items before they can be approved, such as evicting someone and ending their membership in the cooperative. As well, under B.C.’s new Societies Act, any special resolutions (bylaw changes) will require a two-thirds vote (unless the society’s bylaws impose a higher threshold). And most electoral organizations or political parties also demand approval by at least two-thirds of voting members to revise bylaws. So-called “supermajority” votes have many examples, including being a requirement to approve budgets at city council. It has been described as a policy to protect the rights of the minority. Now, contrast this practice of using a supermajority to enact systemic change to the ground rules the B.C. government has set out for a fall referendum on how we elect our MLAs. In that vote – which proposes to permanent-

ly change the way we have elected our legislators throughout almost all of B.C.’s history – a simple majority (50 per cent plus one) of the votes cast will suffice to change our system. The vote will take place this October via mail-in ballot. It has been so long since many of us have licked a postage stamp, I’m betting we’d struggle to find the nearest mailbox to drop it off. If as few as 30 per cent of voters cast ballots in the referendum as some suggest, this means that as little as 15 per cent of voters will choose the electoral system for 100 per cent of British Columbians. If you feel that the B.C. government has carelessly cast aside the usual checks and balances governing systemic change, you are in good company.The words of veteran newspaper columnists Vaughn Palmer and Michael Smyth drip with cynicism over the government’s decision. Smyth calls it a political version of a Three Card Monte street hustle, using a “phony public-relations exercise to make the game look fair.” Palmer on whether the voting system has been rigged to ensure its outcome: “I would be shocked – shocked – if anyone drew that conclusion.” Another red flag that should concern all British Columbians are the eager efforts of U.S.-funded activist group LeadNow campaigning for these electoral reforms.

Churches rebuild after fire spree Two Burnaby churches destroyed by arson were moving ahead with plans to rebuild in February.The Burnaby-NewWestminster Evangelical Free Church and the Westminster Seventh Day Adventist Church had been gutted by fire a year earlier.The two churches, both just on the Burnaby side of 10th Avenue, were two of three churches set ablaze by a suspected arsonist. A NewWestminster man was charged in the fires. He was remanded to the Forensic Psychiatric Institute pending a decision from a review board on whether he was fit to stand trial.

Opinionnow Why do people moan about the hospital? Dear Editor: Re: This is what Burnaby Hospital is like, Inbox, Burnaby NOW, March 7. Recently, I fell on the sidewalk near the Bob Prittie library, and I broke my hip and hit my forehead, which needed stitches. I was taken to Burnaby Hospital and thought I would have a long wait, but they had a bed for me within 10 minutes. I’m a senior. By 3:30 p.m., I was in surgery having my hip repaired. Earlier, a doctor had cleansed and stitched my head wound. By 5:30 p.m., I was in a bed in the surgical area. The room had three beds, was a bit crowded, but there were curtains for privacy and our bathroom had a door. The nurses and all the staff were excellent, and I had very good care. After six weeks, I returned to have the staples removed and also had X-rays. At the cast clinic, we had minimal wait times as they are very efficient there. Our experiences at Burnaby Hospital have always been good, and waiting times haven’t been long. I am tired of hearing people always complaining about the hospital. We are thankful it is here. Joan Wilcock, Burnaby

Vote shouldn’t pass Continued from page 6 we’re allowing the corporate board rooms of America to shape our political destiny?

Why Choose Us?

There is no question voters are jaded by politics and demanding change. Donald Trump and now Doug Ford are symptoms of that frustration, though each will ultimately be held to account by voters through our present electoral systems. In a legislature divided up by proportional representation (PR), populist politicians gain power. Is institutionalizing populism through electoral change the answer? Many argue that improving the system you have is better than trading it in for another. In Europe, “hung parliaments,” where governments elected by PR take hundreds of days to form, are commonplace. Canadian elections, by contrast, ensure reliable transitions of government. Is democracy on steroids what citizens want, or that local voices are better represented in government? Perhaps we should take a close look at practical reforms put forward by a trio of federal MPs in Turning Parliament Inside Out, a book co-authored by Michael Chong (Conservative), Kennedy Stewart (NDP) and Scott Simms (Liberal). There are many things to consider as the government forges ahead with its referendum plan. But it is fair to ask if a 75 per cent vote is needed to change a strata bylaw, why is 50 per cent plus one adequate to change B.C.’s whole electoral system?

Burnaby Lights the Way in Energy Conservation Last year, Burnaby reduced its energy use more than any other city in British Columbia. The City of Burnaby s ambitious plan to update all street lights to LED fixtures is saving energy and boosting visibility. Our focus on energy efficiency in all of our operations is yielding recordbreaking results in energy conservation. Our citizens are committed to energy efficiency. This fact, coupled with the City s focus on strategic energy management, is saving money while improving lighting and significantly reducing the environmental impact of City operations. Thank you to all Burnaby citizens and businesses for helping Burnaby to achieve its ambitious energy reduction targets. We re very proud of our achievements to date and look forward to continuing to work with all of you to achieve additional savings! Mayor Derek Corrigan

The City of Burnaby is saving approximately $600,000 each year, with the installation of new LED street lights. Savings will increase as more LED lights are added in the fourth and fifth phases of the program. In total, 13,000 street lights will be converted to LED. Burnaby will be the first city in Metro Vancouver to complete a full conversion to LED street lighting.

City now Got an idea to help out in Burnaby? Get a grant Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

Have a great idea to make Burnaby a better place but don’t have the money to get it off the ground? Burnaby Neighbourhood House, in partnership with Vancouver Foundation, is once again accepting applications for its Neighbour-

hood Small Grants program.The grants provide up to $500 to local residents who want to strengthen their community. Last year’s projects ranged from potlucks and clothing swaps to neighbourhood walking tours and multicultural cooking classes. “We’re basically look-

ing for projects that connect neighbours because that’s how we build communities; that’s how we feel a sense of belonging, when we know each other, when we feel safe with each other,” said Branka Vlasic, a program coordinator at Burnaby Neighbourhood House. Priority will be given to projects that connect Indig-

enous and non-Indigenous community members and projects led by young people age 18 to 24, she added. “This doesn’t mean other projects that don’t have this component will not be accepted.” The grants will be awarded by Burnaby residents who have volunteered to sit on one of three awards

committees. “Basically, they sit down, they look at the applications, they review them, they have a discussion, and then they decide who gets the grant and how much,” said Vlasic. In 2017, 120 grants were given out.This year, the goal is to fund 100 projects. “Last year we had a lit-

tle bit of additional money from the federal government and from the Canada Foundation because of the 150th birthday. But this year, we are back to our normal small grant amount.” To apply, visit www. neighbourhoodsmallgrants. ca.The application deadline is Monday, April 9.

City removes old cottonwood trees

Forest Lawn & Ocean View

If you’ve walked by the picnic area at Barnet Marine Park recently, you may have noticed a few missing trees. That’s because the City of Burnaby has removed between 15 and 20 rotten cottonwoods. Dave Ellenwood, the city’s director of parks and recreation, told the NOW there was a “failure” last summer when a branch fell down in the area.That incident sped up an assessment

of the cottonwoods, he said. “We did that (assessment) in the late fall and in the first few weeks of this year, and determined there were trees that needed to come out,” he said. “If a significant portion of the tree is rotten, we can’t take that risk.We’ll take the tree out.” Ellenwood said staff will be replacing the cottonwoods with a variety of evergreens and deciduous trees that are native to B.C. – TerezaVerenca

City now Local dentist suspended, ﬁned for misconduct Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Patients of a dentist who owns clinics in Burnaby, New Westminster,Vancouver and Surrey have been left wondering if they were lied to about dental work they were told they needed. Dr. Karim Lalani, whose clinics include Madison Centre Dental in Burnaby, has been ordered to pay $30,000 and to stop practising for six months after admitting to professional misconduct – including providing and charging for unnecessary procedures. “I trusted Dr. Lalani completely,” said one patient who emailed the NOW but did not want her name used. “I trusted that the sometimes quite expensive dental procedures he advised I needed to have done as being the honest truth. Now I, along with I’m sure a good many others who’ve become aware of this news, am left to forever wonder if

I really needed those expensive dental procedures when a simpler and less expensive alternative might have sufficed.” After an investigation by the College of Dental Surgeons of B.C., Lalani was scheduled for a disciplinary hearing this month, but the hearing was cancelled when

I trusted Dr. Lalani completely

he “made admissions and proposed a resolution” in February, according to the college’s website. In relation to “a number of patients,” Lalani admitted to providing substandard treatment as well as treatments that were unnecessary, inappropriate or not supported by a diagnosis, according to a consent order signed Feb. 27.

Spring Break

Lalani further admitted to failing to provide patients with “all reasonable treatment options,” according to the order, as well as not maintaining adequate records and submitting inaccurate insurance claims. He has been ordered to pay a $25,000 fine and $5,000 in costs and will have to suspend his practice from April 1 to Sept. 30 – during which time he’ll be banned from patient care and prohibited from “receiving payment in any practice he may own.” Lalani has also agreed to take a number of remedial courses and complete a 10-day mentorship with an approved periodontal and prosthodontic specialist, and will be monitored for two years after finishing those requirements. Lalani registered as a dentist in B.C. in 1994 and has owned Madison Centre Dental for more than 16 years, according to a LinkedIn profile.

Gallery lights up for Luminescence III Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

There wasn’t much doubt in Jay Senetchko’s mind about the value of getting involved with Luminescence III. “I remember very distinctly reading about the first one,” he recalls, chatting over coffee at Deer Lake Gallery. “It was a pretty remarkable social phenomenon.” That remarkable phenomenon involved a lineup of more than a thousand people wending its way down Deer Lake Avenue, waiting in the spring evening for hours for their chance to get in to the very first Luminescence show. That year, 2016, marked the Burnaby Arts Council’s first time hosting the show of two- and three-dimensional works celebrating light – an exhibition designed to mark the spring equinox.The exhibition generated an unprecedented buzz for the usually lowkey gallery, as Burnaby artist Ron Simmer’s infinity room installation, A NightWalk in Falling Snow, travelled like wildfire on social media and drew hosts of first-time visitors. Its second edition drew an estimated 3,000 people – and this year, artists from around the region are keen to be a part of the event that has established itself as cealed Studio with partner Cheryl one of the hottest tickets on the Lower Mainland arts scene.

art experience, TiltBrush. The company’s founder, who goes by the name Tay, is excited to be part of Luminescence. While she’s usually hosting birthday parties and attending corporate events, this will mark her first chance to take part in an art installation. She notes that the whole idea of virtual painting is really painting with light, which fits perfectly with the show’s theme. “It’s just a new perspective on art and painting,” she says. “It’s a way to be able to paint in 3D.” Of course, while it’s busily at-

tracting new artists, the show isn’t neglecting its returning participants. Back once again for the year is Simmer, whose 3D light installation this year carries the distinction of having the first “adult-only” restriction placed on it. His installation, MELT, was inspired by artist Suzy Kellems Dominik, whose work I Can Feel – a 12-foot-tall neon vagina – was a talking point at the Art Basel exhibition in Miami Beach. MELT will feature LED neon strip lighting and infinity mirrors to represent a female orgasm.

As always, Martin has worked to pull in a range of artists working in every medium imaginable. “With so many different artworks represented, there will be a lot to see and experience,” says Martin. “We’ve also had so much interest from the artists themselves, we know the exhibit will showcase experiential art in new ways to capture the imagination of our visitors.” Organizers are hoping to build on attendance from the two previous years, when so many new visitors came to experience the show alongside longtime gallery devotees. It’s an approach that sits well with Senetchko, who makes it a personal mission to make all of his work accessible to viewers – whether they come to it with a background in art or not. “Art has been too far divorced from being an inextricable part of the social world, of the everyday,” Senetchko says. “If you know nothing at all about art, you can still come enjoy the work.”

Artsnow Enjoy a virtual twist on painting Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

She has officially arrived at the status of “coolest mom.” All it took was a lot of soul-searching about how she could get her teenage daughter interested in science and technology and chart a business path for herself at the same time. When Tay (yes, she uses one name only) hit on the idea of creating her own virtual reality gaming company, she realized she’d found a winner. “How could I not find a business that was going to be this much fun?” she says with a laugh. Tay will be on hand for Luminescence III, taking over the basement at Deer Lake Gallery with her virtual reality art experience, TiltBrush.The game gives participants a chance to don the virtual reality headset and – with a series of virtual controls that allow them to select brush, brush stroke, colour, shade, lighting and

more – “paint” their own creation. “It’s a way to be able to paint in 3D,” she says. “It just opens up the mind for the imagination to be able to flood. I like how we’re painting with light. … It’s just a new perspective on art and painting.” Artists can use the immersive virtual experience to get their creative juices flowing for starting to work on paper or create a threedimensional sculpture; the fact that TiltBrush allows the participant to “walk into” their own work allows them a unique perspective on that third dimension. But it’s also rewarding simply as a stand-alone experience, and Tay is hoping to see people of all ages and abilities and varying degrees of artistic inclination turn out to give it a try. You don’t need to be an artist to enjoy it, she says, noting it has an equal appeal to people with a more technological bent who want to experience the virtual reality aspect of it.

“Anybody who can look through the headset can participate,” she says. Tay’s typical events include birthday parties and corporate team-building exercises, so being part of an art show is a new experience for her – and one she’s looking forward to, especially since she’s already a painter herself. “It was fun for me because it’s a new medium,” she says. “Since I already have a passion for art in var-

of ideological thought,” he says. “I saw society, if you can think about society being personified, as having an addictive personality.” The piece in question, The Apotheosis of Evasion for Men andWomen, is created from the glass of old bourbon bottles, inset into an old wine crate, using mirrors and lights to reflect the images of a male and female figure – and their skeletons behind – in a stained-glass effect. Senetchko describes it as a “reflection on mortality” and a “meditation on life and death” – then laughs good-humoredly at the idea that his art only looks at the

ious forms, I wanted to see what I could create in a new way.” She’s looking forward to seeing people’s reactions to the experience, especially those who may question what virtual reality has to do with art. “They get to create their own art at an exhibit,” she says. “How cool is that?” See more about Tay and VR4U online at vr4U. games.

Storyteller ponders life’s questions Jay Senetchko is a storyteller. It’s how he sees his mission as an artist, and it’s what drives him to continue making art. “I think narrative is essential in connecting with people,” he says. “We are a storyteller species.” Senetchko has been exhibiting professionally since 2002. It was through a recent exhibit,The Course of a Distant Empire, at Winsor Gallery that he came to the attention of Teena Martin, executive director of Burnaby Arts Council, as she was putting together Luminescence III. Though his large-scale figurative work was too big for Deer Lake Gallery, Senetchko offered a piece he’d made for a previous show with the Phantoms in the FrontYard collective at the Gordon Smith Gallery in North Vancouver.That show, Over the Counter Culture, explored the issue of addiction. “I took the slant that there’s a number of different ways you can become addicted to substance – being addicted to work, being addicted to sex, being addicted to any particular form

IN THE SPOTLIGHT-

big questions. “I still do believe that art has the capacity to change people’s lives, minds, thoughts for the better,” he says. Don’t take that to mean, however, that Senetchko thinks art should live in some ivory tower. Quite the opposite, in fact. It’s important to him to create art that remains visually and esthetically accessible to viewers, whether they approach the work with a doctorate in art or with no artistic background whatsoever. “I want people to be visually interested in what I am presenting,” he says.

There also needs to be a narrative, and there needs to be command of the technical aspects of work that affect how people perceive the it, visually and psychologically. And, yes, he says, art should carry a message. “I think theory is a huge part of work in terms of an idea that is worth talking about; a concept, a theme,” he says. For Senetchko, art should all be wrapped up in personal history –“they like to see the person that is telling the story in that work” – and also grounded in the broader history of art, society, religion and philosophy. Add to that the idea that art should also be topical – not as obviously as, say, a political cartoon, but referencing an idea or issue that speaks to the time and place in which it was created. “It speaks through those different layers to different levels of knowledge and engagement with art,” he says. Which means that whether a viewer’s reaction to Senetchko’s piece was a simple, “Hey, that’s cool” or a philosophical reflection on the meaning of life, his artistic aim has been achieved.

They have two series of stand-alone pillars; one created with reclaimed cedar and the other in chrome. WHO ARE THEY? Both are Vancouverbased artists with their own individual practices. Sabljak is a furniture designer, and Cheng creates sculptural works in paper (think origami taken to architectural levels). They came together as an artistic partnership after Sabljak attended a show of Cheng’s work in 2016 and liked what he saw. On a whim, he suggested meeting for a coffee to talk about possible collaborations – and it grew from there. WHAT HAVE THEY DONE? They started out creating work simply for their own enjoyment. “There was no goal, really,” Sabljak says. “We were

hoping that we would put it out there, but we didn’t realize that in one year we’d be going all over the world.” They’ve recently returned from showing their work at Design Korea 2017 and at Toronto Design Week. Luminescence III marks the third show they’ve applied to be a part of, and the third they’ve been juried into. “We just wanted to create something that we enjoyed,” Sabljak says. “The fact that other people like it is a super-wicked bonus.” See a story about Concealed Studio at www.burnabynow.com/ entertainment.

DONOR DOLLARS The Down Syndrome Research Foundation recently received a donation of $5,000 from Pacific Blue Cross. “DSRF thanks Pacific Blue Cross for their gen-

erous investment,” states a press release from the Burnaby-based non-profit. The money will support occupational therapy services for people with Down syndrome. “As an independent charitable organization receiving no ongoing government funding, community support turns potential into reality. Each investment enables us to hire qualified teachers, registered speech language therapists and occupational therapists which allows us to offer our services in the one to one or small group format assuring optimal learning conditions, while keeping program fees manageable for our families,” according to the release. The Vancouver Fire Department also recently donated to the Down Syndrome Research Foundation.The department raised $2,500 for the cause through its 2017 golf tournament.

Canada Way

Two locals have been recognized for their community service. Irene Lanzinger and David Fairey each took home a 2017 Community Service award during the 24th annual Labour Appreciation Night.The event – hosted by United Way of the Lower Mainland, the Vancouver and District Labour Council and the New Westminster and District Labour Council – was held at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown Hotel before Christmas. Lanzinger is the first woman ever elected as president of the B.C. Federation of Labour, a position she’s held since 2014, according to a press release. “She has a long history as a strong leader in the labour movement … and is deeply committed to advancing

equality, protecting vulnerable workers, and strengthening workplace safety, both here at home as well as abroad.” Fairey has held many roles, including as a labour relations researcher and advocacy consultant, research associate with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, B.C. office, and co-chair of the B.C. Employment Standards Coalition. “David continues to be a passionate advocate for workers’ rights in both unionized as well as nonunionized environments, and is interested in employment standards and enforcement reform,” reads the release.

Ever wondered how your best university essay would have stacked up against other students’ papers? SFU undergrads got a chance to find out during a new writing contest this year. Organized by the Student Learning Commons (SLC), the inaugural undergraduate writing contest saw history essays go head to head with world literature papers and political science papers take on philosophy essays. “For us it’s another way to celebrate academic excellence,” said Julia Lane, a writing services associate with the Student Learning Commons and one of the organizers. “Usually only the professor or the TA who’s actually marking it ever reads the paper, so it just gives it a wider audience.” Organizers accepted the first 25 entries in two categories. The open category featured essays written by any

second- or third-year student in any discipline. The SLC peer educator category was for students who volunteer at the Student Learning Commons helping other students with their writing. The essays, all of which had to have been written in the 2017 academic year, were already done, so the contest wasn’t any extra work for students. “Nobody has time for that,” Lane said with a laugh. In the open category, Richard Kim won the first place prize of $200 for a history essay titled “Just or Injust: Scholarly Attitudes on the Moral Legacy of British Response to the Mau Mau Rebellion.” Helen Luo won second and $150 for “Sisyphus 4.0,” and Gabrielle McLaren won third for “Playing God: Parallels between Ithaca’s royal family and their patron goddess” Honourable mentions went to Daniel Prisk for “Dirty Theory: Sketches of an Anthropological Ac-

HUMAN SPEED BUMP Hastings merchant Eddy Woods laid it on the line in this August 1996 NOW photo with help from Heights Merchant Association executive director Claudia Campana and Jack Kuyer of Valley Bakery. Wood had promised to become the first speed bump on newly installed high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes on Hastings Street. The HOV lanes were part of the province’s Hasting Barnet People Moving Project. Heights merchants opposed the plan, raising concerns about increased commuter traffic and loss of on-street parking, but the project went ahead anyway and was completed by September.

STM’s Bellini, Silveri grab mat golds By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

For St.Thomas More’s Gabriella Bellini, the key to capturing the provincial title at the B.C. wrestling championships earlier this month was as basic as believing. No newbie when it comes to the sport, the 16-year-old saw a lot of people drop wrestling when long-time coach Doug Corbett left the private school for another job. For her, it wasn’t an option. “A lot of people ended up quitting this year, but I think that gave me motivation to keep on going and not give up,” said Bellini. “Even starting off the season, I kind of had a feeling maybe I wouldn’t do so good; I’m not sure why but that’s just how it started. As the season progressed, I got more confidence and it got better.” She puts a lot of that credit to new coach Max Arcand and teammate Amanda Silveri. When Bellini won her final match two weeks ago in Port Alberni, with a provincial gold as her reward, it was almost too much. “It was an insane feeling. I couldn’t stop smiling until I got on the bus to go back home,” she recalled. “I was so excited. (My team’s) energy just fed right off of me – when I won I went straight to them. It was crazy.” Bellini’s title in the girls 64-kilogram division came against Stepanie Mould of Cowichan, in a 4-1 decision that saw the Burnaby wrestler score early, then play defence until the end. “(Mould) was going super hard trying to throw me the whole match. My strategy going in, I was super nervous, so I wrestled super defensive because she was going for throws the whole match. I used my head, really planned out my match while I was wrestling and defended what I knew was coming,” said Bellini. It was her first B.C. gold, after placing third as a Grade 10 in the 60kg division a year ago. Silveri, meanwhile, topped the girls 110kg division by besting Trinity Davies of West Van in 2:04. For the Grade 11 Silveri, it was her second straight B.C. title in the girls heavyweight division. The other medallists from Burnaby were St.Thomas More’s Ayesha Mian, in girls 40kg, and Burnaby Central’s Sylvia Li, in girls 54kg, who both placed third. Continued on page 25

Laying it all out on the court: The Byrne Creek Bulldogs pushed an incredible season right to the provincial 3-A basketball final before falling 74-66 to South Kamloops.

PHOTOS LISA KING

Byrne Creek gave their all at B.C.s A season of hope, hard work and team work shouldn’t come to a crashing end – but it was inevitable for someone. And while the Byrne Creek Bulldogs will nurse the heavy bruise from Saturday’s 74-66 loss to the South Kamloops Titans in the 3-A B.C. senior boys basketball championship final for some time, the light from a season of exceptional achievements will shine through down the road. In a showdown of the toptwo ranked teams, the final saw the Bulldogs overcome a 26-10 Kamloops start to close the gap and then tie it up 59-59 early in the fourth quarter to make it

anyone’s game. But the Titans tightened down defensively over the remaining minutes of the fourth, and poured out a 15-7 run to claim the title. The Bulldogs’ Martin Djunga netted 25 points and four rebounds, while Bithow Wan counted 16 points, 13 rebounds and four steals. As the No. 1-ranked team entering the 16-team tournament, Byrne Creek had its own cross to bear en route to the final, with each team hoping to take out the top dog. The Bulldogs didn’t waiver, although they entered the final in Langley with some scrapes and nicks.

It took a huge second-half performance in the semifinal against North Delta, where they erased a 34-29 deficit by firing 52 per cent from the field over the second half, to punch their ticket. Against Sir Charles Tupper in the quarter-final, the Bulldogs once again were pushed to the edge and trailed 27-26 at the half.While Byrne burrowed a nice lead to start the third quarter, up by 10 at one point, the Tigers kept within clawing distance and were down 44-40 with 10 minutes remaining. A three-point shot early in the final frame got Tupper to within a point – 48-47 – before the

Bulldogs locked it down with a 20-10 run. Majok Deng led the way with 18 points, while Wan counted 17 and Titol Jok tallied 15 in support. Djunga and Wan were selected to the first all-star team, while Deng was voted the Best Defensive Player of the 3-A tournament. The roster will face some turnover, due to the graduation of Daniel Cion, Aaron Cruz, Tyrill Whitebear and starters Deng and Djunga. But a strong returning core will keep the Bulldogs on the map as challengers for the 2019 title.

Sports now Burnaby has winning stride

The Burnaby Speed Skating Club used its swift blades to stride away with the first overall award at the B.C. Short Track speed skating championships in Abbotsford earlier this month. Among the top finishers were a quartet who copped gold: Cormac Chui, Hao Chen Lu, Kim Reid and Mike Hagen. Chui and teammate Bryan Leon placed first and third, respectively, in the 15 and up performance division, with national time standards. Chen Lu won the junior (15 to 18) male event, while Reid, in masters ladies 40 division, and Hagen, in males 60, were first across the line. In the Training to Train category, with spots on Team B.C. as a carrot, five Burnaby skaters achieved their marks. Katherine Wagner finished first and Anya Liu placed second in the girls 12 division. Katherine Brynolfson placed third in girls 13, while Michael Oetomo, fourth in boys 12, and

For those who expect more than a traditional education.

Hana Hoffman, fifth in girls 14, rounded out those who advanced to this weekend’s CanWest meet in Abbotsford. The five, along with Hugo Zhou, had competed earlier at the B.C.Winter Games with strong results. “I am, of course, tickled to win the (team) tropy, but so much more than that I am thrilled with how well my skaters performed at the championships,” Ariana Van Der Starre said. “I was so proud of the skill and maturity they showed in their racing.” Here are more results from the B.C. Short Track championships: Training to Train, Boys – Alex Lim, 13, 10th; Hugo Zhou, 12, 10th. Learning to Train, Girls – Ally Hoffman, 10, 2nd; Gabrielle Oetomo, 10, 4th; Nora Wagner, 9, 4th. Boys – Nicolas Escobar Ballen, 11, 6th; Deryk Fong, 11, 14th; Brian Mi, 10, 11th; Zakary Sharp, 10, 1st; Aras Tran, 10, 7th.

Conﬁdence gave Bellini an edge Continued from page 24 For Bellini, her improvement this year has come by bolstering the mental part of her game. “I had four matches (at provincials) – I was definitely super-stressed and had to mentally prepare myself,” she said. “Yes, 100 per cent (mental prep) has helped,

especially since Grade 8. I didn’t have as much confidence as I do now. I’ve definitely grown as a wrestler.” As for Silveri, their practice sessions together gave her a lot of insight to see where she could improve. “(Silveri’s) really smart first of all, (and) really uses her head. She knows what

she’s doing, even though her weight class is completely different than mine. … She’s still able to tell me what to do and help me in my technique and that kind of stuff. I feel she made me stronger, physically, because since she is bigger it took me more effort in practice to do certain things.”
