Burnaby home now an Airbnb hotel

Neighbours raise concerns about noise and parking after home converted into a short-term rental business

By Lauren Boothby

editorial@burnabynow.com

A large Burnaby home south of Deer Lake Park, close to Metrotown, has been operating as a de-facto hotel, the NOW has learned.

The seven-bedroom, eight-bath-

room home at 6270 Elgin Ave. was sold for $2.65 million September 2017 before being renovated and converted into a nine-bedroom house hotel, according to B.C. Assessment data. Rooms are listed separately on Airbnb, ranging from $39 to $65 a night.

“The Twin’s House” is run by

Airbnb user Mia with co-host user Yong.Yong is an Airbnb “Superhost,” and operates a second property near Metrotown that rents out five bedrooms. Mia appears to have been renting out rooms since December.

When asked to comment on the situation via the Airbnb site, Mia

replied: “Hi, Lauren, thank you for your inquiry, but I do not wish you to write a storey (sic) about my listing without my consent!

Thanks!”When asked again if she would like to make a comment, she responded: “how you wrote a story about my listing? you lived here?”

Citynow HOUSING

Green rental project up for approval Two new buildings at SFU would include 90 units aimed at providing affordable accommodations

By Grant Granger

ggranger@burnabynow.com

An energy-efficient rental project offering affordable accommodation for SFU graduate students with children will be part of a public hearing before Burnaby city council on Tuesday.

The SFU Community Trust wants to construct a six-storey and five-storey wood-frame building on the western edge of UniverCity.

Ninety rental units are being proposed with a mix of studio, one-bedroom and two-bedrooms at the northeast corner of East Campus Road and Highland Court.

The trust wants to keep the rents at a minimum of 10 per cent below the median market rates for North Burnaby.

“The objective of the project is to deliver a highperformance, low-energy, low-carbon, affordable rental project here on Burnaby Mountain,” said Dale Mikkelsen, vice president of development for the SFU Community Trust. “We are certainly focusing on twobedroom suites that would be very suitable for graduate students with children.

They’re typically underserved at universities.

“We want to make sure we accommodate several audiences. But we’re really looking at those young people with children that really need a place to live that they can afford.”

The location is steps away

from an elementary school and a child care facility, instead of on the west side of campus where all of SFU student housing is now.

Currently, UniverCity only has one rental building, Cornerstone, as well as Verdant which is aimed at providing accommodation for faculty and staff.

The trust plans to use Passivhaus (passive house) design principles at a cost that’s comparable to traditional development.

“What we’re pursuing, and what will be presented at the public hearing, is a building that has a very robust building envelope, meaning it will have very low air leakage, very high building insulation, incredibly good quality windows and glazing, and a mechanical system and air handling system that is not conventional,” said Mikkelsen.

The ventilators, he said, will bring in fresh air and heating it while extracting the old air inside in the winter, said Mikkelsen. In the summer it will cool down the outside air it brings to replace the old warm air.

The trust is still working out the dollars but “we believe we can build that at a conventional wood-frame construction cost,” said Mikkelsen, who added the efficiency will be a bottomline benefit in the long run.

“It simply costs less money to operate the building.

That’s an asset as well.With a robust envelope, hopefully,

MOUNTAIN RENTAL: An artist rendering of the SFU Community Trust’s proposed affordable rental accommodation project for UniverCity on Burnaby Mountain that will go before a City of Burnaby public hearing on Tuesday, March 27. PHOTO SFU COMMUNITY TRUST we’re going to have a building that’s extremely durable and won’t need a lot of expensive maintenance over the years.There’s a lot of objectives wrapped into this passive house quality envelope.

“It would be a good longterm legacy for UniverCity.

If this is successful it could lead to other affordable projects up here.”

If the trust gets the green light from council and the

costing comes within budget, the hope is to break ground in about eight months.The ‘if-all-goeswell’ scenario would have the project, which includes a courtyard and amenity building, opening in the spring of 2020.

Also on the public hearing agenda (7 p.m., city hall) are: ! A proposal by Jak’s Liquor Store to have an outlet in the Parkcrest Shop-

ping Centre on Broadway.

When council sent the application to public hearing, Coun. Sav Dhaliwal voted against it saying there were enough places to buy liquor nearby. Council recently rejected an application for a private liquor store in the Crest Shopping Centre in east Burnaby after receiving a petition objecting to it; ! A 46-storey residential tower with three-storey townhouses for the south-

west corner of Lougheed Highway and Springer Avenue; ! A temporary City of Burnaby works yard at Norland and Ledger avenues; ! A city application to rezone the former Globe Foundry site on Willard Avenue in the Big Bend area to conform to the city’s agricultural land use designation for the area.

DRUG TRAFFICKING CASE

PIPELINE PROTESTS

Two local men face charges

Officers injured

Two Burnaby men are facing drug trafficking charges after a series of deadly overdoses from suspected fentanyl-tainted cocaine in Saskatchewan earlier this month.

Saskatoon police first put out a public safety advisory on March 10 after emergency crews were called to three different locations within three hours that morning to treat six people suffering from apparent illicit drug overdoses.

Three people involved died.

After investigating links between the three incidents, police arrested three men and executed a search warrant at a Saskatoon home where they recovered more than $14,000 in cash, fentanyl-

editorial@burnabynow.com

tainted cocaine, cocaine, heroin, marijuana and a firearm with ammunition, according to police.

Azam Kabani and Shervin Beeharry, two 19-year-olds from Burnaby, have now been charged with trafficking, along with coaccused Japmanjot S. Grewal, 21, of Calgary.

Kabani appeared in Saskatoon Provincial Court Wednesday and was released on bail.

Under the conditions of his bail, he must live with his father in B.C., he cannot visit Saskatchewan unless for court, he can’t have a smartphone and must follow a curfew.

Beeharry was expected in court

for a bail hearing Thursday, and Grewal was expected to appear on March 28.

Emergency crews in Saskatoon responded to more incidents after the arrest of the three men, and the Saskatoon Police Service said it was investigating whether those calls are connected to the March 10 incidents.

The police service also warned the public that cocaine purchased from a dealer going by the names “Lil Joe” or “Joe Bro” or by using the cell number 306-881-7300 may be laced with fentanyl and potentially lethal.

Three police officers suffered minor injuries while arresting protesters at the Trans Mountain terminal gate earlier this week.

According to the Burnaby RCMP, three officers were injured: one suffered a head injury after being kicked in the head, and the others suffered a knee and a hand injury.

“Police are continuing to use a measured approach when dealing with demonstrators, ensuring that they have a right to lawful, peaceful and safe protest,” said Supt.

Chuck McDonald, Operations Officer at Burnaby RCMP in a

statement.

“In this instance, a group of demonstrators made a decision to protest unlawfully. Our officers on scene dealt with an unfolding situation professionally and took action to ensure the safety of all involved.”

Police intervened Monday evening after one man locked himself to an excavator on a truck heading into the Trans Mountain terminal, and another woman jumped on top of it.

The RCMP say people have a right to demonstrate peacefully “and the companies have a right to complete their work.”

Sometimes it’s a choice between tampons or food women’s shelters and refugee organizations, which will hand them out to women who need them.

Organizations that were on the receiving end of the donated items last year told the United Way the campaign has made a real difference to clients, according to Adolph.

“They had people coming into their offices who had gone in and done shoplifting for the sake of getting product, people who are using unsanitary products like dirty clothing or old rags, people who are choosing between buying food for their family or buying product for their period,” he said.

Fewer low-income women and girls in the Lower Mainland will have to resort to shoplifting or using old rags or wadded-up toilet paper to meet their feminine hygiene needs thanks to a successful campaign led by the United Way of the Lower Mainland this month.

Tampon Tuesday is a nation-wide initiative to raise awareness about the barriers vulnerable women face accessing menstrual products.

During its second annual campaign, the Lower Mainland United Way once again encouraged people to donate tampons, pads

and diva cups from March 6 (Tampon Tuesday) to March 20.

The mountain of donated menstrual products filled the lobby of the United Way’s Burnaby headquarters during a wrap-up event Tuesday.

Last year, the United Way collected 30,000 individual products. Organizers estimate that number more than tripled this year.

“We’re absolutely overwhelmed by this, and we are so thrilled to be involved,” said Neal Adolph, who coordinated this year’s campaign.

The tampons, pads and diva cups will now be distributed to the United Way’s partner organizations, including community schools,

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Envy does not make for fair tax policy In today’s skyrocketing housing market, it’s easy to be envious of people who own two homes when so many people cannot afford one.

But envy does not make fair tax policy.

In its first budget, the NDP government introduced what it called a speculation tax. Speculative buying has indeed contributed to escalating

house prices; sometimes a condo can be flipped two or three times before it’s even built.

But the two per cent tax on not-permanentlyoccupied second or vacation homes has nothing to do with speculation. It could be someone who owns a small cabin in the Gulf Islands or an SFU professor who lives on Bowen Island and keeps

a small condo in Burnaby or a Calgary retiree who escapes winter at her condo in Kelowna. On a property worth $500,000, the new tax is $10,000 a year.

What if that cabin had been handed down from parents who bought it for $50,000? Just because it’s now worth 10 times more doesn’t mean that the family’s income has in-

creased by 10 times. And that Calgary resident who winters in Kelowna is contributing to the local economy — buying groceries and going to local restaurants.

“These people are not speculators,” said board director Bill Veenhof of the Regional District of Nanaimo, which is calling for the tax to be repealed. “They are part of

our community mosaic, they volunteer, they are our friends and many go on to retire here.”

It’s fair to tax people on their property’s value. After all, roads have to be maintained, garbage must be picked up, schools must be staffed.

But to tax people year after year for simply owning a second property is punitive. Adding insult

to injury, the tax affects only targeted areas: Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, the Nanaimo and Capital Districts, including the Gulf Islands, and Kelowna and West Kelowna. (Why, by the way, wasn’t Whistler included?)

Address speculation, sure. Let envy sort itself out.

MY VIEW PAT TRACY

The editor rows into the sunset Goodbye columns by editors always include some mandatory items.

A fond memory of the editor’s first day in a newsroom (it involved carbon paper and typewriters). At least one mention of some embarrassing error (there are too many to mention).

A personal technological history – from hot-lead typesetting to Twitter. And, of course, what said editor’s next “adventure” will be.You get the idea. But I’d rather look forward than look back.

So, as I step into retirement after more than 30 years in journalism I’ll just cut to the chase.

“We’re in a lifeboat…”

For several years, I’ve started our editorial planning meetings with those words.

The analogy has been true in so many ways. Our little local media lifeboat is floating on uncharted waters.We have had few provisions during this voyage to sustain us.We’ve been holding our collective finger in the air to check the way the wind is blowing and navigating by the stars.We’ve depended on each other and our wits to figure out if we should be heading north or south.We’ve had to, sadly, throw fellow travellers overboard so the rest of us could survive. Our only constant in this journey is the firm belief that people care enough about where they live that they value local journalism.

It’s been our guiding star.

And, so far, it hasn’t failed us. So far.

We believe the hunger for

real local knowledge, local stories – not empty content calories designed to titillate – has kept us rowing and writing. Now, that doesn’t mean we’re all a bunch of serious, sad-faced fun killers.We understand that life is not all about tax hikes and political misdeeds.We have been known to do ice cream reviews and cat videos. But it does mean, as journalists, we hope not just to reflect our community like a mirror, but also to look behind the mirror.To be the watchdogs on duty, to hold those in power accountable. Do we always hit the mark? No, not always.

But when we do, we’ve earned the right to call ourselves journalists.

I have been blessed to have quality journalists at my side who care deeply about their jobs and journalism.Without that camaraderie and commitment, frankly, I wouldn’t have lasted.

“Journalism is a team sport,” writer Pete Hamill said, and he was right. It can also be one of the loneliest jobs. Facts are sometimes uncomfortable things to read when they contradict our emotional assumptions.

But local media is at a critical crossroads.You’ve probably already heard about it. Our footprint continues to grow online as we follow – and chase – our readers.The problem is that Facebook and Google are making money off our work much more so than our own company. As Tim Shoults, our company’s V.P. Continued on page 7

Opinionnow Rowing into the sunset Continued from page 6 of Content and Audience Development said in a recent TedTalk: “... at a local level, now you’ve got news sites making fractions of fractions of pennies online, and that just isn’t going to be enough to keep the doors open and pay reporters for much longer.”

How do we fix it? Well, there are several ideas – some involving tax fixes, philanthropy, subscriptions, etc. I don’t know which one may have legs, if any. Or if a combination will work. But what I do know is that they all rely on one thing: a community that understands the importance of local journalism in a healthy democracy. A community that cares enough to give a damn about local journalism. A community that understands that Facebook and Google are not going to send reporters to cover the local city council or courts or civic elections.

Local news, local matters, is more than a catchy slogan.The Burnaby NOW is the only newspaper in the world that gives a damn about Burnaby. Other media outlets may drop by to score a big news story, but we’re here for the public hearings and the unsolved murders.The long slogs on city politics.The backstories on planning decisions.

But caring sometimes isn’t enough.The challenge is, can we keep digging for those stories given the changing times.The kind

Why Choose Us?

of stories that make you talk to the neighbours about them.The kind that forces politicians to answer the tough questions.The answer is: I don’t have a clue.

Are we, as some might suggest, going to become the equivalent of the local farmers’ market? Is that possible for local journalism? That’s not a bad image – but is it sustainable?

Or will it take the loss of quality local journalism for citizens to realize what they’ve lost? Will it be too late at that point?

Editors are seldom considered optimists.

But I’d like to believe more people are realizing that trusted local journalists may be the final, albeit, smaller antidote to the Facebook global machine. I hope so.

But it’s truly a double-edged social media sword.We use Facebook to engage with you as we cover this community. It’s just one of our tools – but it’s an important one.We need you to “like” us, so our local journalism has a better chance of gaining traction and views. Hopefully, Facebook will recognize its role in potentially helping local journalism and step up to bat. Again, I hope so.

But, alas, another editor will be pondering the future as I row my own personal lifeboat into the sunset. If the new editor has one-tenth the fun I’ve had in the editor’s chair, they will be one very lucky editor.

News now Neighbours worry about safety of Airbnb rentals Continued from page 1 she’s concerned about strangers coming and going from her neighbour’s property, who can sometimes be noisy at night with guests having parties in the backyard.

“I would have bought a place next to hotel if I wanted to live next to one,” she said. “This is ridiculous.”

Kasidoulis says the constant flow of visitors means she’s afraid to let her nineyear-old daughter cross the street without her watching.

“I’m scared, for my kids,” she said. “Yes, you have to be cautious about anyone in your neighbourhood, but there’s something to be said about anyone just coming and going, different people all the time.

“It’s not that neighbourhood feel where you know who lives (nearby).”

As she is also currently trying to sell her own home, she’s also concerned having a hotel next door might lower its value, as well as the others on the street.

But apart from issues

Hotel city: At left, this nine-bedroom home at 6270 Elgin Ave., lists each bedroom separately on Airbnb for between $39 and $65 a night.

with parking, the new neighbours aren’t as much of a problem for neighbour John Zhang. Guests take spots in front of his house reserved for the tenants who live in his basement unit, but parking was an issue before as well: the previous owners operated a daycare out of the home.

“No big deal, you know.

Not all the time, sometimes,” Zhang said. “Once they get in the house they don’t bother anybody.”

Sometimes, Zhang said, he would see young people drinking, smoking and yelling in the backyard, which didn’t seem to bother him much either.

“That’s normal for young people, right?”

And although the house hotel conversion may not be an issue for all the neighbours, the City of Burnaby may have a different opinion about houses being used in this manner.

Dan Layng is the chief license inspector for the City

of Burnaby. He also enforces land use regulations.

Layng says Burnaby is currently reviewing rules for boarders, such as those who rent short term using services like Airbnb or VRBO, and whether nightly, weekly, or monthly rentals will be allowed Burnaby doesn’t have regulations specific to Airbnb, however bylaws currently do permit two boarders per residential household.

“The other situation where you have a vacant

home – whether it be a suite, an apartment, a single family residence, etc. – if that’s being rented out on a short-term basis, as per VRBO or Airbnb, that is not permitted,” he said. “Those are intended for permanent residents.”

Boarding houses are only permitted in certain zones, and operators would have to apply to a planning department for rezoning of the property.

Finishing touches still needed on new station

By Grant Granger

ggranger@burnabynow.com

The shiny new east stationhouse at Metrotown SkyTrain station is now open with four new escalators.

It’s the final major component in the station’s upgrade, which was projected to cost $37 million when announced in November 2013.

But that doesn’t mean the project is done. A TransLink spokesperson said the bike parkade, landscaping, concrete work and fixing construction deficiencies or errors, which could range from handrails to lighting, still need to be done before it is complete.That is expected to be later this spring, which was when TransLink projected it would be finished when the upgrade was announced.

early 2015 with the central stationhouse opening in March of last year and the west stationhouse in July.

The rebuilt east entrance has two pairs of escalators, as does the previously completed west stationhouse.TransLink said it has three new elevators, new stairs, more platform

space and improved design with better lighting and visibility. It was one of seven projects TransLink has undertaken at high-volume stations on the 32-year-old Expo line.

TransLink said the upgrades will improve passenger flow and access.

People now WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

Catching up with Svend Robinson

By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

When longtime Burnaby MP Svend Robinson reappeared in the pages of the BurnabyNOW a few months ago after more than a decade’s absence, he drew the same love-him-or-hate-him response he had gotten used to during his 25 years in office.

We had contacted him in November to comment on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s historic apology to gay and lesbian civil servants and military personnel – an apology Robinson had helped craft as a member of an advisory panel.

After we published that story, some readers were eager to know what he’d been up to since leaving federal politics in 2004.

Others were quick to bring up the notorious incident of the stolen diamond ring that precipitated that abrupt exit.

“It just makes me sad, that for some people that’s how they’ll remember me,” Robinson said of the latter in a sit-down with the NOW recently.

Robinson had already won his Burnaby seat twice before this paper even began publishing in November 1983, and, for two decades, the colourful, controversial life and career of one of Canada’s longest serving MPs provided a steady stream of news stories: Robinson coming out as Canada’s first openly gay MP, spending 14 days in jail for protests against logging at Clayoquot Sound on Vancouver Island, lending his presence during ALS patient Sue Rodriguez’s physicianassisted death before changes to the law, breaking his jaw and ankle in a hiking accident on Galiano Island and countless appearances at a multitude of local community events.

The stories dried up in April

2004, when Robinson pulled out of that year’s federal election after admitting he had stolen an expensive diamond ring from an auction house in Richmond.

Robinson said it was an “irrational act” that doesn’t make sense to him to his day.

“It was the most painful, humiliating thing, and for me the biggest thing of all was the sense of letting people down, so many people that had looked to me as being their voice, and then that voice is silenced,” he said. “Boy, that was the toughest, that was the hardest.”

For better or worse, the incident launched Robinson’s career into a new international trajectory that came full circle in Ottawa this week.

New trajectory

On Tuesday, Robinson made his final appearance before the Foreign Affairs Committee – a committee he once sat on as an MP – on behalf of the Global Fund to Fight AIDS,Tuberculosis and Malaria, to thank Canada for its strong leadership in the fight against the three diseases and to applaud the Liberal government’s new “Feminist International Aid Policy.”

But support for the fund hasn’t just come from the Liberals, according to Robinson.

“We had great support from the Harper government, and that continued with Trudeau,” Robinson said. “They did the right thing.”

Robinson left Canada for international work in 2007 after a few years at the B.C. Government Employees’ Union.

He first worked in France for Public Services International, the global public sector union federation the BCGEU is a member of.

That work led to an introduction to the head of the Global Fund at an AIDS conference in Mexico in 2008.

He asked Robinson’s advice on what work the fund should be doing with parliamentarians.

After Robinson told him, he was hired to do just that.

For the past 10 years, the former Burnaby MP has travelled the world, engaging legislators in both donor and partner countries.

“I took delegations of MPs from Australia, from New Zealand, from Canada, from the United Kingdom, from the United States, from Spain, from France and I took them to countries in which the Global Fund was making a difference, saving lives, preventing disease,” Robinson said.

In Vietnam, for example, Robinson travelled to rural villages in the Mekong Delta with MPs from Australia to help hand out mosquito nets paid for by the Glob-

al Fund to stop the spread of malaria.

“We met with families there and grandmothers. It was incredibly moving,” Robinson said. “When a member of parliament from Australia hears this and knows that their taxpayer dollars are saving lives, it’s pretty amazing.”

During each of his four trips to Vietnam for the Global Fund, he said he also took delegates to meet with a group of gay, lesbian, and trans people benefiting from a drop-in centre the Global Fund was supporting.

“They talked about how this was just making a huge difference in their lives, about how they felt more sense of self-worth and what that meant as they were not taking risks around HIV, for example.

They were doing peer education,

helping to educate other people, particularly in the trans community; a lot of them were sex workers.

So, how do you prevent the spread of HIV?” Continued on page 12

Not the end of Svend constituency office – especially after he came out as gay.

“What really made a difference was first of all listening – listening and understanding where it is they’re

coming from, and I always tried to do that,” he said.

“You don’t go into a country there with a big megaphone.You’ve got to come at it from a place of understanding and respect.

You’re starting at ground zero with many of these people, and I think there are some lessons to be learned there for Canada as well.”

It was 25 pretty full years, amazing years actually…

65 – the fund’s mandatory retirement age.

He and Max Riveron, his partner of 23 years, have since left their adopted home in Switzerland and are likely to start spending more time back in Canada, according to Robinson, since they still have that place on Galiano Island.

Is another run at politics in the cards?

“No, no I don’t think so,” he said.

Really?

“You know well enough you never say absolutely out of the question, but I had 25 years,” he said. “It was 25 pretty full years, amazing years actually. … I don’t think elected politics is likely in the cards, but the experience that I’ve had in a whole range of different areas, particularly in human rights issues, environmental issues and health issues, and so on, if there’s a way that I can make a contribution back home in those areas, that’s certainly something that I would look at.”

Canada Way

Continued from page 11 In partner countries, Robinson said he worked to empower legislators to be leaders on tough issues, like homophobia, misogyny and big pharma to tackle AIDs, malaria and tuberculosis in their countries.

“They paid attention for two reasons,” Robinson said. “One is because the Global Fund was funding 90 per cent of the programs in their countries, so they had to.They knew that, without us, they didn’t have any resources. And secondly, they knew that I’d been an MP myself in Canada for 25 years and so they weren’t going to get away with a lot in terms of the BS around their role or anything else.”

The work put him in contact with many socially conservative legislators, in donor countries and partner countries alike, he said.

To build common ground, Robinson said he used the same approach he had employed as an MP in Burnaby when fundamentalist Christians would gather to pray outside of his

Sporting events help boost tourism in 2017 Tereza Verenca

editorial@burnabynow.com

2017 was a “phenomenal” year for Tourism Burnaby, according to the organization’s executive director.

“Everything’s firing on all cylinders within our industry right now.Whether it’s leisure travellers, sport

events, meetings, conventions, we’re really on a great upward swing, and we anticipate that’s going to continue on through this year as well,” said Nancy Small, who made a presentation to city council recently.

Burnaby’s two per cent hotel tax, also known as the municipal and regional district tax, brought in $1.2

million last year, a seven per cent increase over 2016, noted Small. Compared to 2014, that’s a 40 per cent increase.

As part of Tourism Burnaby’s five-year strategic plan, the goal is to achieve a higher hotel occupancy than the Lower Mainland average, she said, noting the Lower Mainland aver-

age is between 70 and 80 per cent.

“As Burnaby, as the centre of Metro Vancouver, we feel it is well within our ability to do that,” she said.

“We want to continue to grow and to support our hotel partners, and our hospitality partners in this city.”

Some of the 2017 highlights Small touched on in-

clude the Americas Rugby Championship, Mountain Region Synchro Skate Championships and the Pat Quinn Classic, which attracted 38 teams from across Canada and the U.S. Small said sporting events are a very successful part of Tourism Burnaby’s initiatives.

“We position ourselves as

a hub of sport events just because of the phenomenal facilities we have and our ability to attract those national, regional and international events.”

Small wasn’t able to say how many people descended on Burnaby in 2017 as a result of all the events.

Lauren Boothby

A shelter for women and children is the latest addition to the ever-growing protest camp outside the gates of the Trans Mountain terminal in Burnaby.

The structure is being built by volunteers and supporters of Camp Cloud protesters, and is meant to provide a safe place for women and children who visit.

Since January, Camp Cloud has grown from a single trailer to a full camp site outside the terminal gates in Burnaby.The small community conducts ongoing surveillance of Kinder Morgan’s activities and posts regular updates on social media.

Last week, Camp Cloud’s Facebook page posted a request for help building the structure.

Burnaby resident and carpenter Jason Maloney lives near the tank farm. He said he’s been opposed to Kinder Morgan for years, and

when he saw the post on Facebook he came to lend a hand.

“I really respect and admire these people.They’ve got lives too, right? And they’ve decided to dedicate their time to do it,” he said.

“At least they’re standing up for what they believe in, and that’s something to be cherished, right? I’m here in solidarity with that.”

Maloney has been coming to the site, donating firewood and food since the protest at the site began.

“I’m just a concerned citizen. I live down the road, and I’m totally against this Kinder Morgan crap and I have been for years, right?

My community has been opposing it every step of the way, and has just been walked over, walked over, walked over,” he said. “I’m tired of it.”

Workers began building the shelter following the construction of “a watch house” commissioned by members of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation during the pro-

test march on March 10, located metres away from the southeast corner Kinder Morgan’s property line.

That structure is built of ce-

dar planks in the traditional style of a Sechelt longhouse, on top of the proposed pipeline’s path.

On the frontline: For Korry Zepik, stopping the pipeline is the most important thing he can do for his children and grandson.

Zepik was arrested and released Saturday with 27 others after blocking the entrance to the Trans Mountain pipeline inside the five-metre injunction zone, but he returned Monday to do it again. He was concerned, he said, about what might happen to him and what the consequences would be, but not as worried as he was about the consequences of the pipeline being built.

“I am really worried, because I loath to go and do this. But you know what?

I love my kids and I love my grandson, and there is no way in hell this pipeline is going to get built,” he said.

To Emma Campbell, the protest was a family event. She linked arms

with her mother Gillian Johnstone sitting on the ground in front of the gate, her father Charlie Campbell standing behind them with his arm zip-tied to the gate. The family voiced their opposition to the pipeline, support of Indigenous peoples’ rights to their land and concerns about the impact of increased oil production on the environment.

Emma, who is from Vancouver, said she is concerned about how climate change will affect her son.

“I’m a parent of a twoyear-old,” she said. “I’m worried about his future and the future of all children.”

Gillian, from North Vancouver, is concerned what the world will be like for her grandson.

“I’m a grandmother so I care about what’s happening, even more than I ever did,” she said.

WHAT? The Amabilis Singers present Brahms’ Ein deutsches Requiem Saturday, April 14 at 8 p.m.

WHERE? New Westminster Christian Reformed Church, 8255 13th Ave. (between First and Newcombe), Burnaby.

WHO’S PERFORMING? The Amabilis Singers are a 65-voice community choir directed

by Burnaby’s Ramona Luengen. The singers will be joined by soloists Jennifer Driscoll-Holmes, soprano, and George Roberts, baritone.

They’re performing the two-piano version of the work, featuring pianists Ingrid Verseveldt and Jane Coop. Coop, one of Canada’s most prominent pianists, has had a successful international career that has taken her to perform in top concert halls and with noted

musicians and ensembles around the world.

WHAT’S SPECIAL ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE? Local audiences will have a chance to hear one of the great choral masterpieces of all time.

“Brahms’ own reworking of the score for piano four-hands is not merely an arrangement of the orchestral parts, but a transformation which allows for an unsurpassed degree of intimacy, precision and contrapuntal clarity,” says a writeup about the event.

Brahms’ Requiem is unique in that, unlike traditional requiem masses, it does not take its text from the Roman Catholic Latin liturgy. Instead, it draws passages from the German Luther Bible, and it focuses on the living rather than the dead in its opening movement, “Blessed are they that mourn.”

WHO IS WELCOME? Everyone. Note that there are no child-priced tickets, and that the work (which is approximately 70 minutes long) will be sung without intermission.

Student hones mosquito-poking skills at SFU Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

For a high school student, William Shen has a couple unusual skills to put on his resume thanks to work he is doing with an SFU biology professor.

In a study that could help scientists find a way to genetically modify mosquitoes to stop the spread of dengue fever, the Burnaby North Secondary Grade 12 student has learned how to knock out a mosquito with C02, position it under a microscope with “a little vacuum suction thing” and inject it with a very tiny needle just behind the neck.

“I don’t know if it’s technically called a neck,” Shen says. “It’s just the part between the head and the thorax.”

These are precise skills that take concentration and practice to master, according to Shen.

“I’ve definitely killed more than a few mosqui-

toes. If you stab a needle through it, it dies. It’s a very small, little creature,” he says.

The work is part of a study Shen is running at SFU with help from biology professor Carl Lowenberger, an expert on Aedes aegypti, the species of mosquito primarily responsible for spreading dengue fever.

(The disease kills an estimated 20,000 people a year.)

Aedes aegypti is special, though, because there is subset of the species that can’t transmit the disease.

In Shen’s study, which Lowenberger helped design, Shen is looking to see whether genetic differences known to exist between the two kinds of Aedes aegypti are important to their ability or inability to spread the disease.

How did Shen – a high school student – come to be running a study at SFU? It’s part of a directed-study course he’s tak-

ing through the university’s concurrent studies program, which allows high-achieving students like Shen to take credit courses at SFU while still in high school.

Besides the directedstudy course (Biological Research 298), Shen also completed Genetics 202 last semester.

Shen, who maintains a 99 per cent average in his high

If you stab a needle through it, it dies. It’s a very small, little creature… school classes, wants to get into medicine but would also like to keep working in research.

“A lot of doctors nowadays do research on the side

as well, so I want to do one of those careers,” he says.

The SFU experience has prepared him well, when it comes to the research end.

“I’ve learned a ton about

how to design an experiment and approach a topic.”

And – if his future research ever calls for mosquitoes to be injected just behind the “neck” – well, he’s got those skills too.

For more information about SFU’s concurrent studies program, visit www. sfu.ca/students/concurrent studies.html.

City expands property tax collection network Tereza Verenca

editorial@burnabynow.com

City hall won’t be the only place you’ll be able to pay your property taxes this summer.

As part of a pilot project the city is launching in June, Burnaby residents can drop off their payment at multiple locations.

“During the first couple of days after the property tax notices go out, we noticed lineups to the mayor’s office,” said Noreen Kassam, the city’s finance director. “There’s a lot of congestion, long lineups, so we want to give alternatives for citizens to pay their taxes.”

One option is at the South Burnaby Metro

Club, on the bottom floor of Bonsor Recreation Complex. Collection will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays, and the site will operate from June 4 to July 4.

“We decided to do it at Bonsor because it allowed for us to have a separate entrance, separate parking, and we could facilitate lots of people if lots of people were to show up,” Kassam told the NOW, adding accepted payment will be debit or cheque.

The Bonsor site will have finance staff on hand to answer questions and print any necessary documents if needed, she said.

The city will also be installing a drop box at three

of Burnaby’s recreation centres – Eileen Dailly, Cameron and Edmonds – and one at city hall.

The boxes at the rec facilities will be placed inside, in a secure location away from the windows. Payment (cheque only, no cash or card) can be dropped off during normal operating hours from mid-May through July 4. However,

There’s a lot of congestion, long lineups, so we want to give alternatives… there won’t be finance staff at the centres to print statements or help with tax applications. All inquiries will be redirected to city hall, said Kassam.

Artsnow Work by Hanieh Khakbiz on display in Burnaby A solo exhibition by an Iranian-Canadian artist is on at Burnaby Neighbourhood House’s north location in April.

The house is hosting a painting exhibition by Hanieh Khakbiz for the month of April, with an open house and meet-theartist event set for Friday, April 6 from 7 to 9 p.m.

Khakbiz was born in 1983 in Tehran and has been painting since she was very young. From 1997 up until her move to Canada in 2008, she learned painting from Iranian contemporary artist Taha Behbahani.

Khakbiz works primarily in oil but uses a variety of mediums, including acrylic and watercolours, with a focus on women’s faces and figures.

“I use the visual softness of oil colours; it is my love for the bright and shiny colours that drives them into my palette and helps me show the warmth, strength, delicacy and many other aspects of a woman,” Khakbiz said in an artist’s statement.

Khakbiz notes she has always been intrigued by people’s reactions to her paintings.

“As years go by, I have come to realize that, no matter what I endeavour to express in the pictures, viewers’ feelings and emo-

tions depend on their own personal matters,” she said.

“The only thing I have been trying to do the most is to make people feel good, positive and pleased when they stand in front of my artwork.”

Ten per cent of the money raised from the sale of

Khakbiz’ paintings will go to charities for children in need.

Communitynow #FLASHBACKFRIDAY TOONIE TRAY While

Canadians were still deciding what to call the new $2 Canadian coin in February 1996, an SFU philosophy student was already busy filling orders for a little plastic tray he’d designed for cash registers to hold the newly minted coin. Dave Randen started working on the idea as soon as the Canadian Mint announced it was replacing the $2 bill with a coin. By the time the coin came out, the 27-year-old had secured deals with retailers like 7-Eleven, Canadian Tire, Windsor Plywood and B.C. Ferries. The black plastic tray, which retailed for $10, could be trimmed to fit any size of cash register and was cheaper than a replacement tray, which cost more than $50. PHOTO NOW ARCHIVES

Gone are the days of collecting rose bushes Mark Cullen

Gardening with Mark

The idea of collecting rose bushes is dead.

For generations, a sunny yard included a ‘rose garden’ somewhere. In the early days of Weall and Cullen Nurseries, our family business, retail customers would buy wagon loads of rose bushes each spring.

Canadians have not lost their love of the rose, they have simply shifted focus.

No longer is a rose bush part of a ‘collection’. Instead, roses are a part of a

greater whole, integrated into landscapes that serve many purposes.

There are many myths that surround the idea of planting roses. Many people think of insect and disease problems when they think of roses.We are here to dispel some myths and open your eyes to the potential that roses may hold for you.

First, new roses are resistant to disease. It is a requirement for new rose introductions to be black spot and powdery mildew-free as changing demands of consumers calls for it.

If “low maintenance” is

a key selling feature when shopping for plants in your garden, we have the following roses for you to consider: Oso Easy These patented roses from the Proven Winners group are as disease resistant and ever-blooming as a rose can get.There are many flowering shrubs in the Proven Winners lineup, including hydrangeas, weigelas and more. All of them are thoroughly garden-tested before they go to market.

They are well named.

Communitynow Go for the low-key roses Continued from page 26 Mark has grown several varieties of Oso Easy roses in his 10-acre garden and he is very happy with the results.With more than 50 roses, these are stand-outs.

Varieties range in height from 50 cm (Paprika) to 120 cm (Urban Legend).

Knock Out Very winter hardy, Knock Out’s do not require winterizing (mounding of soil around the base of the plant each autumn).This family is perhaps best suited for mass planting.Thinking of a hedge or an area in your garden where you want loads of colour? Knock Outs could do the job for you.

Five varieties range in size from a metre high to a metre and a half.

David Austin We have saved Mark’s favourite family of new roses to last (almost). He has four varieties of David Austin’s growing in his garden.

Every one of them is excep-

tionally fragrant, fully double, disease resistant and an impressive addition to his extensive perennial collection.

Our favourites are Abraham Darby (apricot yellow, 1 1/2 metres) and Heritage (soft, clear pink 1.25 metres). Amazing when cut and brought indoors to enjoy.

Water well at the time of planting and throughout the season…

Canadian Shield This new introduction from Vineland Research and Innovation is a great new rose bush. A shrub rose, it matures to 125 cm high, has a soft, sweet fragrance and is extremely winter hardy.

When shopping for roses, be sure to look for ‘Canadi-

an Gown’ on the label.This is your assurance that the plants are acclimatized to our cold winters.

Be sure to plant in quality triple mix and add one-part worm castings to every 10 parts soil for the best performance.

Water well at the time of planting and throughout the season, try to keep moisture off the foliage when you hand water, to avoid encouraging black spot and powdery mildew. Even on ‘resistant’ varieties it is best to be ‘water wise’.

Note that all roses require a minimum of six hours of sunshine per day to perform at their best.

Jerome adds dual purpose Canada-China sprinting challenge adds new element to invitational meet The race to the finish line just got quicker.

The Vancouver Sun Harry Jerome International Track Classic unveiled its schedule for the 35th edition, with the event expanding to two days for the first time.

With an additional day, the Jerome Classic will have a major element to highlight in the form of the China-Canada Team Sprint Challenge.

The 10-event dual meet between the two nations, running June 26 and 27 at Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium, will be incorporated with the regular festival of races and field events.

“This is the 35th year of the Vancouver Sun Harry Jerome International Track Classic, and the Achilles Track and Field Society is pleased to return to historic Swangard Stadium after the milliondollar renovation to what many consider to be the best facility for our sport in Canada,” said Achilles president Doug Clement.

“Most significant is (the) initiation of friendly competition between Canada and China for the Pacific World Cup in this 2018 Year of Tourism as world attention swings to the Asia Pacific region.”

Last year, the competition moved to Coquitlam due to the track renovation work at Swangard. Burnaby had a new track installed at a cost of nearly one-million dollars.

The two-day, two-country event will spotlight both teams’ star talent, both men and women, who will compete in the 100-, 200- and 400-metre races, as well as the 4x100 and 4x400m relays.Two of the world’s fastest men are China’s Bingtan Su and Zhenye Xie, who placed second (6.42 seconds) and fourth (6.52 second) respectively in the 60m final at the recent World Indoor championships in Birmingham, England. Su’s time established a new Asian record.

Both Glenroy Gilbert, Canada’s head coach, and Chinese officials in Beijing have said they hope to have tentative teams named by mid-April.

During its 35-year history, the Jerome Track Classic has seen many Olympic and World champions participate, and is Canada’s longest running track and field meet.These Olympic and World medalists include Donovan Bailey, Carl Lewis, Debbie Brill, Daley Thompson, Charmaine Crooks, Lynn Kanuka, John Walker, Ashton Eaton, Brianne Theisen-Eaton and

Chiefs start playoffs with major upset

Burnaby-based team now faces uphill task in B.C. midget semifinal in Prince George

By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

This is what underdogs do.

Barely making it into the playoffs with a win on the final weekend of the regular season, the Vancouver Northeast Chiefs knew what everyone else expected to happen in the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League’s first round of the playoffs.

The regular season champion Valley West Hawks may have thought it, too. But what mattered most was what the Burnaby-based Chiefs did to complete the Davidversus-Goliath storyline.

On Sunday, the Northeast Chiefs ended the Hawks’ season in a 3-2 win, capping a dramatic 2-1 series triumph for the eighthplace squad.

Forward Jack Steffens scored with four minutes left in the third period, breaking a 2-2 stalemate and putting the underdogs in the driver’s seat. And while Valley

West unleashed the league’s best offence in hopes of netting the equalizer, they couldn’t put one by the defence, led by Burnaby netminder Michael Harroch. “(Harroch) made a couple of huge stops in the third period, one right after we scored the go-ahead goal, with a big kick save,” remarked Jacob Lazare, the Chiefs’ director of media relations.

“It was a combination of goaltending and defence. It was everybody buying in defensively, because the Hawks pushed hard.They were all over us and it looked like they had a powerplay for four minutes at the end.”

The Northeast Chiefs, who draw talent from east Burnaby, New Westminster, the Tri-Cities and Ridge Meadows communities, posted a sluggish, 14-20-33 record in the regular season, far back of the Hawks’ 31-6-21 mark. But one of those six Valley losses did come at the hands of the Chiefs, just three weeks earlier.

That win gave the underdogs the confidence needed to take the best-of-three series.

Steffens’ marker capped a rally that began from a 2-0 deficit, as the Hawks blitzed ahead with two goals 1:19 apart early in the second period.While Aleks Bujak made it a one-goal game late in the frame, it wasn’t until defenceman Cody Hough tied it on a fantastic individual effort just 43 seconds into the third, that a possible comeback was in play.

“Hough’s goal was a beautiful goal. He went around about three different Hawks and put in a perfect shot. It was one of our goals of the year.The stage and the timing of it just added to the brilliance,” said Lazare.

It came on the heels of Game 2, where the Hawks demonstrated why they led the league in offence and defence with a solid 4-2 win to tie the series. Although the Chiefs struck first on Burnaby Winter Club product Kyler

Kovich’s goal,Valley West counted three goals in the second period, where the underdogs managed just two shots and had their backs to the boards much of the time.

In Game 1, Burnaby’s Jackson Murphy-Johnson notched his second goal of the season, a wrist shot from inside the point with seven minutes left.The 16-yearold, listed by the Western Hockey League’s Spokane Chiefs earlier in the year, wired a low shot to break a 3-3 draw and serve the first shock of the weekend. “(Murphy-Johnson) hasn’t been much of an offensive guy but he’s one of our most improved players this year, he’s come a long way. He’s morphed into one of our top defencemen,” said Lazare.

Also scoring in the win were Hough, Quinton Hill and Ryan Suzukovich.

Now, the Chiefs take on another favourite, this time the Cariboo Cougars in the semifinals this weekend in Prince George.
