Firefighters defend motorcycle club The City of Burnaby still has concerns and has launched an investigation about Hells Angels ties

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

B.C.’s public safety minister is concerned about them, the province’s antigang agency has them on its radar and the City of Burnaby is investigating them, but members of a local firefighters biker club say people have got them all wrong.

The Florian’s Knights motorcycle club formed in 2016 and is made up of active and retired firefighters from Burnaby, New Westminster and Vancouver.

The club made headlines this week after a photo of one its founding members

– Burnaby firefighter Nick Elmes – and three members of the Hells Angels was spotted on social media by the Vancouver Sun and Province.

Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth was quoted in a Sun story saying it was “disturbing on so many levels” for firefighters to be associating with the notorious biker club, alleged to have connections to clandestine drug labs and marijuana grow operations that make firefighters’ jobs more dangerous.

Sgt. Brenda Winpenny of the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit told

the Sun biker experts have been documenting the association between the Knights and the Hells Angels at various events this spring.

Burnaby city hall started getting emails from concerned citizens as soon as the story broke, according to city manager Lambert Chu, and the connection between the firefighters biker club and the Hells Angels is a “tremendous concern” to city officials, he said.

“The firefighters and many city employees are put in a position of trust, and we cannot have any city employees involved in any association with a criminal or-

ganization, period,” he told the NOW. The city has launched a formal investigation into the matter that should be com-

plete in a matter of “days not months,” according to Chu. The city’s concern with the Florian’s Knights club is not entirely new, however.

Last fall, fire chief Joe Robertson talked to one of its members, telling him the group had to stop wearing the club’s apparel or “colours” on rides to and from work and on fire department property, but the department backed off after the local firefighters union presented it with a legal opinion saying that would infringe on their members’ rights.

“We were aware of the Florian Knights motorcycle club,” Chu said, “but there was no information given to us that would cause us to

be concerned because there was no evidence linking the connection between the Florian’s club with the Hells Angels.”

But the connection between the firefighters’ club and the Hells Angels has been blown way out of proportion, according to Florian’s members.

“We’re just likeminded guys on our Harleys trying to raise money and awareness at charitable rides; that’s it,” Elmes told the NOW. He said he and his fellow members started the club because the existing firefighters’ biker organization – the IAFF Motorcycle Group – only rode a couple times a year and didn’t fundraise.

Parents scrambling asdaycare getsevicted Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby father says he is desperate to find new child care for his son, as his beloved daycare is facing eviction from its home in a local church.

“We’re scrambling,” said Ranga Padmanabhan, whose four-year-old son has attended Sir Andrew’s Daycare for 18 months.

The daycare’s manager, Linda MarshBeauchemin, said the church that has hosted the daycare in its basement for more than 20 years abruptly gave a 30day eviction notice in late May. Now, she said, they have until the end of June to move out of the Central Christian Assembly building at the corner of Imperial Street and Kingsway.

‘We’re not a club that judges other clubs’

Continued from page 1 “I wanted to do more for my community and I wanted to do more for the biker community, and I couldn’t do anything with that.You just pay your due and wear your patch,” Elmes said of the IAFF group.

Rod MacDonald, a retired Vancouver fire battalion chief and longtime union president, was drawn to the Florian’s Knights for the same reasons.

“The goal was for people to say, ‘Oh, there’s the Florian Knights.They do charity work for the kids.We were trying to brand ourselves – this is us, this is the Florian Knights, we’re the firefighters,” he said.

The club had a big Bikers for Burns charity ride to Hope planned this August.

Last year the same event raised about $7,000 for the B.C. Professional Firefighters’ Burn Fund, according to MacDonald.

“That’s dead,” he said.

“You can see how frustrating and saddening this is for us.We’re just a bunch of guys who wear three pieces of cotton on our backs, and somebody’s profiled us as being, by default, something other than what we are.”

As for the Hells Angels, MacDonald said he had “zero” comment.

“We’re not a club that judges other clubs.We’re a bunch of guys that ride,” he said.

Elmes said the Florian’s Knights have participated in two rides with the Hells Angels, but added they were public charity events.

The photo of him with the three Hells Angels was taken by Stave Falls during one of those rides last month.

“They did a poker run to raise money – from my understanding it was for the Special Olympic soccer team,” Elmes said.

We’re a bunch of guys that ride.

One of the Hells Angels pictured, Kelowna chapter president Damiano Dipopolo, is a friend who lived a few blocks away from Elmes in East Vancouver when he was growing up, according to Elmes.

The group had broken off from the ride in May to visit the falls, he said, and Dipopolo’s wife had snapped the photo and posted it on social media.

“He’s my buddy from the neighbourhood that we have family ties with,” Elmes said.

A source close to the Florian’s Knights, however, told the NOW Elmes – whatever the nature of his relationship with Dipopolo

– had not been forthcoming about this connection to the Hells Angels, and the photo was a shock to some club members. But Elmes and MacDonald said they were being profiled even before the photo went public because their members wear a three-piece patch on the back of their leather vests, something that’s often associated with outlaw motorcycle clubs.

That made no sense to Elmes since, he said, there

are many other clubs with firefighters, police officers and border guards etc. as members – including the IAFF Motorcycle Group – that wear a three-piece patch.

In designing the Florian’s Knight’s patch, Elmes said he copied those groups and not the outlaw organizations. He did, however, inform the Hells Angels of his intention to use the patch as a matter of biker tradition protocol, he said.

“I informed them just so that no one got hurt or no one got in trouble. Last thing I want to do is pick a fight with one of them,” Elmes said.

Since the Sun article, questions have also arisen around a $1.65 million clubhouse in North Burnaby Elmes and another Florian’s Knights member bought in January.

Online comments question how Elmes, who also owns a second $1.76 mil-

PHOTO FACEBOOK

lion home nearby, could have afforded it on his firefighter’s salary.

“God no,” said Elmes when asked whether the Hells Angels had anything to do with the purchase of the clubhouse.

Elmes, who also owns a construction business, said he bought the first house in 2006 for $560,000 and was able to finance the purchase of the clubhouse with the equity that has accrued on that property since.

Burnaby Poll shares young people’s dire views on real estate adding new drop boxes for taxes The City of Burnaby is trying to take some of the headache out of paying property taxes.

It is providing a satellite office at Bonsor Recreation Complex and several drop boxes around the city to help residents avoid standing in line at city hall.

The drop boxes are set up at Cameron, Eileen Dailly and Edmonds community centres and in the parking lot at city hall (4949 Canada Way).

Residents can still pay their taxes and claim their Home Owner Grants at the city hall office, online or by mail.

More information on how to pay can be found on the City of Burnaby’s website.

Young people think owning a home is more of a dream than a reality, according to a new Insights West poll.

In the online survey of a representative sample of 820 British Columbians, it is clear young people struggle to be better positioned for the future in a way that older residents do not. A majority of those 18 to 29 years of age (52 per cent) admit they are struggling financially, and not saving for the future, and 24 per cent are living paycheque to paycheque. By comparison, 41 per cent of British Columbians aged 30-plus find themselves

financially constrained, with only 16 per cent depending on their regular paycheque to cover their living expenses.

When it comes to putting money aside for the future, younger British Columbians display distinctly different behaviours than their older counterparts; 22 per cent of 18-29 year olds are scrimping now and saving for the future, with only 18 per cent saying they are living well and saving.Those 30-plus are much more likely to be living well and saving (34 per cent), and fewer see the need to control their expenses now in

order to put money aside (just 14 per cent hold this view).

Within this context, it is perhaps not too surprising that the vast majority of 18-29 year olds in British Columbia (85 per cent) assert it is virtually impossible for young people to buy a house today, including 57 per cent who hold this opinion strongly. Older British Columbians share the same degree of pessimism when it comes to home ownership for young people (86 per cent, 57 per cent strongly).Where they differ is in the impact of the high cost of owning a home.

Daycare chronically behind paying rent: church Continued from page 1 “There is no possible way that there is openings in a child-care centre in 30 days,” she said.

Padmanabhan said he has called more than 10 local daycares. None have space, he said, and some have waiting lists as long as 18 months.

Sir Andrew’s has a second location on Boundary Road that may be able to take eight of the full-time children, Marsh-Beauchemin said, but there’s no room for the rest. Padmanabhan said that he may enrol his son there as a last resort, but that would mean a 40-minute drive from his home in east Burnaby.

The church’s lead pastor, Mark Lewis, con-

tested the version of events Marsh-Beauchemin and the daycare’s board chair, Karen McRobbie, told the NOW. He said the daycare has been chronically behind on rent and he started the legal process to end the relationship with Sir Andrew’s in February.

“We’ve been in a relationship with these guys for a long time. It’s been a strained one for a long time,” he said.

“There’s been a lot of months upon months where they haven’t paid any rent and where they’ve been difficult to deal with.”

Marsh-Beauchemin said the relationship with the church has only changed since Lewis took

over a year ago. She admitted that Sir Andrew’s was behind on rent until recently but said previous pastors have allowed late payments to accommodate parents who are sometimes behind on payment.

A historically cooperative relationship between the church and daycare has evaporated, she said.

Marsh-Beauchemin said she accepts the relationship will not be salvaged, but she is requesting a 62-day extension to allow them to provide summer camps for families who have already signed up.

“May you please have compassion and forgiveness for the families at the centre and allow until the end of the August,” she said.

City now Local air quality shows improvements, despite wildfires Local air quality is improving, according to a new regional report, despite the heavy smoke from last year’s wildfires.

Average trends show improvements continue to be made against most smogforming pollutants across the region, according to the latest Metro Vancouver report, Caring for the Air report for 2018.

The release of the seventh annual report, which coincides with national Clean Air Day, describes the progress made on air quality and climate change projects undertaken by Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley and other partners in 2017 and early 2018. For instance, while the unprecedented levels of wildfire

smoke significantly affected air quality last year, several emission-reduction actions, such as more stringent objectives for sulphur dioxide (S02), helped to improve it.

“Average trends for the region show improvements have been made over the last decade for most air contaminants, even while the region’s population has continued to grow,” said Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan, chair of the regional government’s climate action committee. “Although our air quality is generally very good, we are committed to making improvements, however small, to tackle climate change and ensure our residents have clean air to breathe.”

Metro Vancouver com-

piles an inventory of air pollutant and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the Lower Fraser Valley air shed every five years. In 2015, personal vehicles such as cars and trucks remained the largest source of smogforming pollutants and greenhouse gases, due to the growth in the region’s population and the economy. However, overall GHG emissions declined by two per cent, to about 15 million tons, since 2010, largely as a result of more efficient buildings and heating equipment.

Metro Vancouver’s air quality monitoring network includes 29 monitoring stations that post real-time data for the public to view at www.airmap.ca.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Don’t judge mobility pricing idea too harshly

Burnaby residents grappling with higher car insurance, gas, food, daycare and housing costs probably haven’t paid too close attention to a more than 300page report that looks into charging more to use roads and bridges in the Lower Mainland.

But as they start to look at their household budgets over the next 10 years, they may want to make some smart decisions about where they live and how they plan to get to and from

work.

Although the mobility pricing study for Metro Vancouver and TransLink is so far just an intellectual exercise with a number of scenarios identified – and their costs and benefits – one day this kind of congestion charge could be in place.

Early indications are that drivers could pay upwards of $2,000 or more a year, depending on the type of charge and their driving habits.

One proposal would be to

One thing is for certain – traffic may be manageable now, but what about 20 years from now? charge for distance, costing drivers between $3 to $5 a day to reduce congestion, and eight zones were used in the analysis.

The other would be a regional congestion point charge, with bridges – and North Road as well as oth-

er congested roads – used as collection points for charging drivers. Under a scenario in the current study, North Road was added to make sure that drivers who don’t use bridges would also have to pay, too.

These ideas are just at the

study stage right now, and it could be five or more years of study, policy development and implementation before drivers are charged.

And woe to the politicians stuck with trying to put forth such a plan – a proposal to make drivers pay more will take some guts.

This plan is only palatable if it is fair, actually works to cut congestion by 25 per cent as promised, is matched with transit improvements to give people more access, bus fares are

kept low and charges, such as the hated fuel tax, are reduced or eliminated.

One thing is for certain – traffic may be manageable now, but what about 20 years from now with one million more people in the region?

No one wants the kind of traffic faced by commuters in Los Angeles or even Seattle, but paying $100 or $200 a month per driver may be a price few are willing to pay for a shorter commute.

A prairie boy’s guide to sushi

If you’ve grown up in Metro Vancouver, you may not realize what an oddity the sushi thing is for many people from other parts of the country.

I grew up in a small prairie town where there were only two types of fish available: triangle and rectangle, and both were prepared by a multi-talented fellow who also apparently drove the boat.

For us landlocked folk, sushi was like some madeup joke food that you’d never actually eat, like frogs’ legs or caviar or vegetables.

Raw fish? Gross. No thank you, I’ll have a T-bone steak, still mooing. Obviously things are different out here, where municipal bylaws stipulate that you must never be more than six blocks away from kappa maki.

When I first tried sushi, it tasted like salt and fear.

Contrast that with my children, who have been eating sushi their entire lives.

Here’s the weird part, though: Just by living here for the past decade or so, I now am Iron Chef Sushi compared to my friends and relatives from the prairies.

For them, I came up with is this handy cheat sheet.

• Miso soup: From the Japanese words “miso,” meaning “me so,” and “soup,” meaning “salty.”

Many sushi orders first come with a bowl that contains two bits of green floaties and three cubes of tofu trapped inside a weird broth within a broth that expands and contracts like a lava lamp. As far as I know, miso is purely decorative.

• Tempura: From the Japanese words “tempe,”

meaning “fried,” and “ura,” meaning “stuff,” this is some easy-to-eat food that can ease even the most timid landlubbers into the sushi experience. Heck, prawn tempura is so yummy and unchallenging it could almost be called regular food.

• Rolls: Now you’re ready for the real deal.The rolls are where the adventure begins – and may end for newbies.They are made with a seaweed square that is laid on a bed of sticky rice, filled with stuff like avocado, cucumber, real crab, fake crab or barbecued eel, and then rolled into cylinders and cut into bite-sized pieces.

Mmmm, eel.

Don’t worry too much about what is inside these rolls because you are going to drown them in so much soy sauce that each piece will look like a soggy hockey puck and taste like a heart attack. Each roll comes with a pile of shaved, pickled ginger, because this meal wasn’t weird enough.

Rolls also come with wasabi, a Japanese word meaning “green death paste.”

It is similar to horseradish in that it is not so much a good-tasting food and more of a test of your ability to stay calm while eating super-spiced Play-Doh. (Pro tip: Start small.)

If you’re a real coward, there are also things like yakitori and udon, simple skewers and noodle soups that really aren’t part of the truly exotic sushi experience. I ate a ton of yakitori in my early sushi days but you don’t have to, because you have this guide.

Italian families cheesed off

A proposed Health and Welfare Canada ban on unpasteurized cheese didn’t go over well with North Burnaby’s large Italian population in April. Citing health risks, the proposal would have made it impossible to import popular European cheeses, including parmigiano reggiano.

But Coiffi’s Meat Market owner Rino Cioffi and school board trustee Pietro Calendino told the NOW they and their families had eaten parmesan all their lives and never known of a problem. Burnaby-Kingsway MP Svend Robinson launched a petition against the plan.

Fentanyl is a chameleon Editor: Re: Our View: Remind grads there’s no such thing as “good” drugs, NOW, May 23 I wanted to take a few moments to thank you for your opinion piece and keeping the conversation alive about this very serious issue. Fentanyl is a chameleon-like impostor among drugs, and fentanyl kills. Used properly in a medical setting, it can be a very powerful anaesthetic; on the street, however, it is often so potent, a person never wakes up from it. I hesitate to use the term “overdose” because this suggests that there is in fact a safe dose. There is not. The statistics are staggering and the devastation overwhelming.

We must not stop talking about this epidemic which is stealing the lives of our children, parents, friends and relatives. No one is immune.

Renovations necessary Editor: Re: Group plans ‘We Won’t Go’ campaign, NOW, June 1 Since acquiring the property at 6508 Telford Ave. in June 2017, we have already completed several immediate repairs that could be addressed while the building was tenanted.

However, significant upgrades are still required, including further updates to the roof, electrical and plumbing systems, damage caused by recent vandalism, as well as possible removal of asbestos. These additional repairs, which are essential to ensuring the ongoing safety of the structure

BurnabyHospitalFoundation

and our tenants, will require the entire building to be vacated, given the extensive nature of the repairs and potential presence of hazardous materials. Westland has always operated in good faith and met or exceeded our legal obligations as property owners. While we understand the difficulty of finding alternative accommodations, our primary concern is the health and safety of our tenants.

Austin Zhang, managing director, Westland International Investment Corporation

PR deck not ‘stacked’ Editor: Proportional representation is a way to make sure that every voter is effectively represented in the legislature. It is not a strategy that favours one party over any other. In fact it’s exactly the opposite: it’s a strategy to make sure the playing field is level and every party gets the representation that it deserves. That’s why the argument that the NDP is “stacking the deck” in favour of PR is so ridiculous.

Stacking the deck implies some kind of unfair advantage, but the government is advocating a change that would increase fairness to all parties by empowering all voters.

The unfair advantage is with the current voting system, as any objective look back at any election in B.C. or Canadian history will show. In nearly every past B.C. election, a party has won a majority government on the basis of between 40 per cent and 45 per cent of the vote.

Now that’s a stacked system.

Artsnow Burnaby theatre company makes debut with Saint Joan Julie MacLellan

What’s Up?

Together, the founding team sat down and batted around their ideas of dream plays and dream roles.

It was Wheeler who suggested George Bernard Shaw’s classic Saint Joan.

Li acknowledges the play is a tough choice but says it’s a good one for their first outing. He’s intrigued by

the story of Joan of Arc, who’s often seen as a feminist figure – but who, he says, wasn’t really feminist in the accepted sense.

“She wasn’t doing all the things she did for women; she did it for her faith,” Li says. “She’s more a spiritual extremist, I might say. It’s an important story because

it teaches us about standing in our faith, standing in what we believe in … and also seeing the extremes of absolutism.”

He says it’s a message that resonates in today’s world – where, he says, political correctness has become the new “virtuousness.”

“It illustrates how far your

conviction can and will take you,” he says, adding it also illustrates how to depend solely on your conviction and your pride can be your downfall.

In Wheeler, he says, the company has found its perfect Joan.

“She’s a very strong person, very strong in what she believes in. She’s very courageous and very warm, with also a bit of a snark to her.That brings out a lot of character in Joan,” Li says.

“The trap in playing Joan of Arc is playing the saint and not Joan.”

Wheeler, he says, avoids that trap by always playing Joan’s humanity.

“She doesn’t try to divinate Joan of Arc,” he says.

Where the company will go from here, Li isn’t yet certain. But he says the team is hoping that Saint

When: June 18 to 28, with shows June 18 to 22 and 25 to 28 at 7 p.m.

Joan will be a success and allow them to move into a regular schedule of productions – for now, only annually, since they’re full-time students and only have the time to devote to producing a play in the summer.

Moving forward, he says, he’d like to see the company tackle anything and everything that shows it’s a company “that values the art of theatre and not just the performance,” and to continue to focus on diversity, both on- and off-stage.

“I guess what sets Promethean apart is I don’t want to have boundaries,” he says, rather than choosing to focus on just musical theatre, or just classics, or just contemporary theatre.

“I want to do whatever is needed in the community, and I want to fulfil my actor friends’ dreams.”

Isaac Li credits his drama teacher at Cariboo Hill Secondary School for setting him on the path he’s on today.

Li is the director for Saint Joan, the upcoming inaugural production of a new Burnaby-based company, Promethean Theatre. Currently a student in the Studio 58 theatre training program at Langara College, Li says his Cariboo Hill years were formative. It was teacher Trevor Found, with his penchant for choosing less-than-traditional offerings for high school productions, that got Li hooked on the idea of exploring all kinds of drama.

Li discovered some kindred theatre spirits in Emily Wheeler and Matt McCarron, both of whom were onstage with him in Alchemy Theatre’s Love’s Labour’s Lost at Bernie Legge Theatre in New Westminster last summer.They brought in Li’s sister,Trisha – an SFU theatre student – and friend Vivek Lal, who serves as producer.

Refugee families express themselves through art Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A partnership between the Burnaby school district and a B.C. arts charity is giving newcomers to Canada a chance to express themselves through art.

Art Connection is a new, free, family program offering workshops to refugee families from Syria and Iraq.

“Visual art provides a powerful medium for connecting experiences between self and others, while bringing people, families and communities together,” states a school board report.

Six local families, including 18 local elementary school kids, recently participated in Saturday workshops at ArtStarts’ downtown Vancouver gallery, working with artists on drawing, painting, weaving and plasticine projects.

The six-week program culminated in a pop-up exhibition of student art.

One of the families that participated was the Alissa

Which of These Costly Homeseller Mistakes Will You Make When You Sell Your Burnaby Home?

BURNABY — A new report has just been released which reveals 7 costly mistakes that most homeowners make when selling their home, and a 9 Step System that can help you sell your home fast and for the most amount of money.

This industry report shows clearly how the traditional ways of selling homes have become increasingly less and less effective in today’s market. The fact of the matter is that fully three quarters of homesellers don’t get what they want for their homes and become disillusioned and — worse — financially disadvantaged when they put their homes on the market.

As this report uncovers, most homesellers make 7 deadly mistakes that cost them literally thousands of dollars. The good news is that each and every one of these mistakes is entirely preventable. In answer to this issue, industry insiders have prepared a free special report entitled “The 9 Step System to Get Your Home Sold Fast and For Top Dollar”.

Khaled Alissa, his daughters Alaa, Grade 7, and Israa, Grade 5, and his son Abed, Grade 2, visited a school board meeting last month to talk about their experience.

“I am very happy that my children are learning new skills and I am spending good time with my family,”

Khaled told trustees.

Alaa’s and Israa’s favourite activity was weaving, they said, while their little brother said he liked the drawing and games best.

When the apprentice outstrips the master Burnaby composer scores a Leo Award first as he beats out his own father for B.C.’s top film award Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

There’s no bigger fan of Canadian film composer Daryl Bennett’s work than his son, Eli. The younger Bennett has been immersed in the sounds of his father’s music since he was born – quite literally, since Eli’s very first crib in infancy shared space with his father’s music studio.

His admiration for his father’s work made it all the more unbelievable for Eli to win the 2018 Leo Award for Best Musical Score in a Feature Length Documentary.

His competition in the category included – you guessed it – his own dad.

“It’s still pretty surreal,” Eli said, a week after earning the award, which was presented at the first of three awards nights for this year’s Leos.

This happened to be the 20th anniversary edition of the Leo Awards, and it also happened that the inaugural winner for the Best Musical Score in a Feature Length Drama some 20 years ago was Daryl Bennett himself.

The fact that the Bennetts were seated at table 20 for this year’s show was just an added piece of the magic.

“It seemed like the stars aligned,” said Eli. The Brentwood-area resident has had his father’s work as the soundtrack to his entire life. Even after he outgrew sleeping in that music studio-turnedbaby-room, Eli was home schooled and so still spent his days hearing his father’s music. (Which, incidentally, is some high-quality music.

The elder Bennett has been composing award-winning scores for film and TV for more than 30 years. He has four Leo Awards to his credit and has been nominated for a Gemini, a Genie and two GRAMMY Awards.)

And, of course, Daryl knew a thing or two about music. Among the many musicians’ work he introduced his son to, Eli found inspiration in the music of saxophone great Michael Brecker.

The moment he heard Brecker play, Eli said, “Something just clicked.”

Eli took up the sax and practised six, seven, even eight hours a day throughout high school and set himself on a mission: “I’m going

LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON: Daryl Bennett, left, may have wanted that Leo Award, but son Eli wasn’t about to give it up. The father-son duo faced off in a historic first at this year’s Leo Awards, as both were nominated for Best Musical Score in a Feature Length Documentary. The younger Bennett, who’s a Burnaby resident, emerged triumphant at the awards on May 26. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED to be a musician, and not only that, I’ve gotta be the best,” he recalls.

After high school, Eli went on to Humber College in Toronto to study jazz – and, during the course of his studies, he also took a course in film scoring. After graduation, he decided he needed to come back home and study with his own father – a throwback, he notes, to those days when it was common for children to follow in their parents’ footsteps and apprentice in the family business.

“These days that doesn’t really happen,” he says. “For me to do that with my dad is pretty special.”

Eli recalls finding film scoring coming easily to him, a fact he attributes to those very early formative days, when he was immersed in his father’s music.

“It’s like it was soaking up in my subconscious,” he says. “It was odd to me how

it was easy to me. Subconsciously, I guess, this was preparing me for my life.”

He worked with his father for several years before branching out on his own a couple of years ago, continuing to work as both a performer and composer. He also wore his performer’s hat

For me to do that with my dad is pretty special for this year’s Leo Awards, serving as its music director and leading the band for the Leos’ two gala nights at the Hyatt Regency Hotel over the weekend (June 2 and 3).

Eli is no stranger to awards himself. He’s been nominated for a Juno and for Leo Awards four previous times.This year’s win came for his score for Be-

lieve:The True Story of Real Bearded Santas, a documentary that follows the members of the Fraternal Order of Real Bearded Santas, a group of men who help to perpetuate the myth and magic of Santa.

Daryl’s nomination came for his work on In the Spirit of Reconciliation, delving into the stories of residential school survivors.

When the nominations were announced on April 30, Daryl called Eli and told him they were nominated against each other.

“I couldn’t believe it,” Eli says. “After having worked together with your dad, it’s just so special to be up against him.”

That said, Eli was pretty convinced he knew the outcome. “I thought I had no chance. I thought, he’s gonna win easily.”

Even at the dinner, Eli says, he had already congratulated his dad for his

win. But that moment he heard his own name – and then heard his parents cheering for him and accepting congratulations from his dad – is a moment he’ll never forget “My dad sad, ‘I hate losing, but if there’s one person I don’t mind losing to, it’s my son,’” Eli says.

Though Eli is thrilled with the Leo Award – having what he terms the “Oscars and Emmys for Hollywood North” on your resumé is always a good thing – what really matters to him is having the chance to do all this side by side with his own father.

“Being around music my whole life has prepared me for my future career,” he says. “Literally I’ve spent my entire life in the studio, and now I’m doing what my dad does.”

NATIONAL INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DAY

Sto:lo author to speak at Burnaby Public Library An award-winning Canadian author is giving a talk at Burnaby Public Library’s Metrotown branch for National Indigenous Peoples Day. Lee Maracle will speak at the Bob Prittie branch of the library on Wednesday, June 21 at 7 p.m.

A write-up about the event notes that Maracle is a member of the Sto:lo Nation and an influential Indigenous voice in Canadian postcolonial criticism.

The North Vancouver-born Maracle has published novels, poetry, short story collections and collaborative anthologies.

“Her writing is an innovative fusion of poetry, fiction, non-fiction, myth and memoir that revives traditional Indigenous stories to frame her modern tales,” the writeup says.

Her works include the novels Ravensong, Bobbi Lee and Sundogs, the short story collection Sojourner’s Truth, the poetry collection Bentbox and the non-fiction work I Am Woman.

She’s currently a teacher and a mentor for aboriginal students at the University of Toronto and the traditional cultural director for the Indigenous Theatre School.

Her talk at the Burnaby Public Library is free, but space is limited.

Communitynow The dilemma of dads and diapers Last year, a dad in a Calgary Dairy Queen was shocked to discover that he had no options when it came to changing his daughter while out on a father-daughter walk. In an interview on Global, he shared, “I’m going to a family establishment with my daughter (for some) daddydaughter time, so why can’t I have a place to change my kid’s diaper that’s safe and clean. I don’t think that’s too much to ask.”

My social media feeds are often filled with photos and videos of dads having to change their child on stinky, stained, washroom floors, left with no other option when out with their child.

And the idea of putting change tables in men’s washrooms isn’t a new one. Back in 2015, Ashton Kutcher took to his Facebook page, stating “There are NEVER diaper changing stations in men’s public restrooms.The first public men’s room that I go into that has one gets a free shout out on my FB page!”

With over 18 million fol-

Mommy’s

GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

During a recent visit to a family restaurant, as I stood in line waiting to place my order, a dad rushed up to the counter holding a cherub-faced child and hurriedly asked for the key to the men’s room.

As the server at the counter handed him the key, the man asked if the men’s washroom had a change table and the server, looking perplexed, replied, “No sorry, we only have one in the ladies’ room.”

Frustrated, the dad stormed away, holding his soiled child with his arms outstretched, as if the tot’s diaper were about to explode.

I’ve often encountered restaurants, tourist sites and coffee shops that make toilet time tricky for diaper-dependant babes, but it hadn’t crossed my mind that finding change tables would be even more of a challenge for the dads on diaper duty.

lowers, and over 11,000 comments (most of which listed spots that offer diaper change options for dads), Kutcher was definitely able to shine a spotlight on the issue, but there’s still a long way to go.

We need to make change tables in all washrooms the norm, but one dad proposes taking it one step further.

We need to make change tables in all washrooms the norm

On The Good Men Project, writer Jonathan Church shared his thoughts on the problems with having changing tables in men’s restrooms, expressing his appreciation for the inclusion of change tables in the upgrades to the arena washrooms where he often attendsWashington Nationals baseball games, but he doesn’t think that merely

adding a table is enough.

In his story, Church describes his experience of having to change his infant daughter “in a crowded area between a sink and a row of urinals, pulling down a changing table attached to the wall, realizing that (he) was being forced to conduct, in a very public and very crude setting, what, in (his) view, should be a private affair.”

I agree.We’re offered stalls with doors to do our business privately, can’t we offer the same option for our little ones when they “do the deed?”

I’d love to see public spaces that are open to all parents, offering a chair, a table and a curtain for privacy.

One that is accessible, clean, and inclusive. Changing diapers is no fun, but that doesn’t mean that the place where we perform the act has to be sh*&ty too.

Artsnow Comic drawings in the spotlight at Burnaby gallery Contemporary drawings by a NewYork-based Canadian artist are on display in the next exhibition at Burnaby Art Gallery.

Jeff Ladouceur: Pearl Path runs June 15 to Aug. 19 at the gallery. An opening reception is set for Thursday, June 14 from 7 to 9 p.m.

Ladouceur, in his first solo exhibition at a Canadian art museum, will exhibit contemporary drawings featuring what a press release terms “old-timey comic-inspired characters: droopy elephants, big-nosed salesmen, and bubble babies rendered with a dizzying level of detail.”

The release notes that more than 80 artworks feature humorous, strange characters ranging from “blundering buffoons” to sympathetic souls traversing the world in misery and happiness. Ladouceur says the works are all about “the slow path through life.”

Burnaby Art Gallery curator Jennifer Cane, who has known Ladouceur for many years, says: “His world is more of an interi-

June has arrived, and for theatre lovers in the Lower Mainland, that can only mean one thing: it’s Bard on the Beach season again.

Burnaby talents will be front and centre when the 29th season of the popular Shakespeare festival returns to the tents at Vancouver’s Vanier Park.

Nicco Del Rio, who grew up in Burnaby, is one of the featured actors on the mainstage this year, appearing in both AsYou Like It and Macbeth.

Owen Belton, a current Burnaby resident, is the sound designer for Macbeth, and Amanda Testini – another homegrown Burnaby talent – is the choreographer for Timon of Athens.

Beyond the Burnaby talents, there are plenty of reasons to be excited about the festival this year – not the least of which is the appearance of celebrated Canadian actors Ben Carlson and Moya O’Connell as Mac-

beth and Lady Macbeth.

Communitynow Native plants making a comeback Mark Cullen

Gardening with Mark

Early horticulturalists had a lot in common with Indiana Jones. Finding foreign plant species was a form of adventure for generations.

Now there is a trend in the opposite direction.

Increasingly, gardeners are looking for native plant varieties – generally defined as “species which existed in North America prior to European contact.” Discovering native plant varieties opens our garden design to new possibilities.

There are plenty of reasons why you should consider native species for your garden.They are generally well adapted to local insect populations.They provide sustenance to pollinators and are resistant to pests.

Many generations of resist-

ance help a native plant remain healthy without help from us.

Non-pollinator wildlife often depends on native plants for food and habitat. Our native milkweed is a good example of this, as it provides habitat and food for Monarch butterfly larvae.

Native plant species do not threaten surrounding natural areas.Those plants that are classified as “invasive” are almost always imports.

Native plants are lowmaintenance. Given their adaptation to the local environment, native plants usually require no additional water or fertilizer supplements after they have been established.That is, providing you have planted in the appropriate place according to the plants’ requirements.

There is some debate

among native plant enthusiasts about what constitutes a “native,” which is sometimes broken into three categories.

Pure “native” typically refers to a species genetically consistent with what would be found in the wild.

“Nativars” are selections made by plant breeders from the natural variation found in the species. Our hybridizing of native plants is how we end up with “purple coneflowers” (Echinacea purpurea) in colours other than purple.

“Local genotype native” is grown from seedstock that is local to where you are buying it.The idea is that the local-genotype plant will be even better adapted to the exact conditions of its locale.

Lorraine Johnson, an expert in native plants, released the third edition of

100 Easy-to-Grow Native Plants recently.

Two of our favourites are Lance-leaved coreopsis (Coreopsis lanceolata) and creeping phlox (Phlox stolonifera), which makes an excellent ground cover in place of grass along the borders of your yard.

Keep an eye out for natives at plant sales and garden centres this spring.

HOCKEY

BMHA named association of the year Maria Rantanen

editorial@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby Minor Hockey Association was named the Association of theYear this past weekend by its governing body, the Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association, which oversees all 44 Lower Mainland youth hockey organizations.

The award, the Fred Page Memorial Trophy, is given to the association that’s deemed to have made an “outstanding contribution

to its community” through its minor hockey program.

Larry Hayes, the executive administrator/secretary of the hockey organization, said the association is proud of what it does, and that includes letting all kids play hockey.

BMHA provides a comprehensive service not just to elite athletes, but a competitive stream as well as a very vibrant recreational stream as well, and Hayes said he believes this is one of the reasons they were recognized with this award.

“We have a philosophy – we do not turn any kids away,” Hayes said. “We certainly pride ourselves on being a real community organization.”

That includes players who come from all across the globe.

“Burnaby being Burnaby with a lot of immigrants, we have one of the highest numbers of international transfers,” Hayes said.This includes players from China, Japan, Lebanon, Iran, Brazil, Ireland,Vietnam, Afghanistan, the U.S.A. and

other countries.

Burnaby Minor also recognizes and celebrates its volunteers and referees,

We have a philosophy – we do not turn any kids away.

something that other organizations don’t necessarily do, and this impressed the

PCAHA, Hayes said, going “above and beyond just providing a puck and ice.”

They also have a “vibrant” beginner program called First Shift, a Hockey Canada program, Hayes said, which gives young kids an affordable introduction to the sport.

Hayes, who has volunteered with the BMHA for 40 years, also received the President’s Service Award this weekend for his contribution to amateur hockey, and outgoing president Darryl Mah, a longtime vol-

unteer, received the Meritorious Service Award.

The minor hockey organization, which has been in existence for 54 years and had 52 teams and more than 800 players this year, received the honours at the PCAHA annual general meeting.

Burnaby Minor Hockey Association is the first Burnaby minor hockey organization to receive this award, which has been given out since the 1977/78 season.

Young Vikings group earns fifth spot in B.C. Maria Rantanen

editorial@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby North Secondary School Vikings girls rugby team was at the Tier 2 provincials for the second year in a row and took fifth spot – despite being a really young team.

They lost their first game to the eventual provincial champions, Abbotford’s W.J. Mouat Secondary, but won the next two against Prince George and Penticton.

The girls played their first game short-staffed, explained coach Ian Trevor, as several Grade 12 girls were at a graduation event.The end result was a 61-7 loss to W.J. Mouat.

“The girls battled hard, but we were making gaps and they were wearing us down,”Trevor said of the game they played with four missing starters.

But the next day, the team had a full roster.The Grade 12 girls, after their grad event was over, had hopped on a bus in Coquitlam at 10 p.m. and arrived in Williams Lake at 5 a.m.They got a few hours of shuteye and then were on the pitch at 10 a.m. to face Prince George.

“At full strength, we definitely had a much stronger effort – they couldn’t keep up with us,”Trevor said.

They beat Prince George 66-7.

Their third game was a seesaw battle, but they were able to keep up the fight

“It was a very emotional game because they knew it was their last one,”Trevor said of the graduating players.

The Burnaby North team finished fourth at last year’s Tier 2 provincials, but they lost half-a-dozen quality players.Trevor didn’t expect

them to qualify this year because of that loss, but the team proved him wrong, beating North Vancouver’s Argyle Secondary to qualify for the provincials.

“They’ve laid down a marker for next year – this is the first time we’ve qualified for provincials two years in a row,”Trevor said.

Trevor was coaching his son’s rugby team at North about seven years ago when a girl joined the team. She didn’t really enjoy playing with the boys, so Trevor asked her: “Do you have 14 friends?”That was the revival of girls rugby at Burnaby North, which had been dormant for about a decade.

“It’s been a pleasure to watch it grow,”Trevor said.

The team draws on students from Grade 8 to 12, and there is a lot of bonding and good friendships between younger and older students,Trevor said, making it a very inclusive team. “There’s a lot of peer coaching that takes place.”

The team is young, explained teacher-sponsor Jennifer Oatway, with only six Grade 12 students out of a team of 22 and a large contingent of Grade 8s and 9s.

“In rugby, there’s a position for every size,” Oatway said. “The sport definitely allows for different strengths and different ages.”

,L: ,=5GJ CGM !>OM N5LL A59GJO57L MALCOM, Olivia Angeleen Was tragically taken from us on Saturday, June 2nd, 2018 at the tender age of 19. She was born June 10, 1998 in New Westminster at Royal Columbian Hospital. She will lovingly be remembered by her parents, Tony and Bridget, her little sister, Erica, and her true love Jake Stott, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandmother, homestay sister, extended family, friends, co-workers, and the community of New Westminster and beyond. Olivia cherished family memories of holiday dinners, summer barbeques, where there was always much laughter and love.

Friends who became extended family members were an integral part of our circle. She tracked her life goals in journals to keep herself accountable, a few being fitness, 5 year plans and in September 2018 to begin her post-secondary education to become a teacher. Olivia loved the outdoors, whether it was ice-fishing with Jake, enjoying the beaches of Waikiki with Erica and her parents, Timothy Lake, as well as playing or coaching NWMLA lacrosse, photography, fashion, children and cherished her work at Oxygen Yoga & Fitness, and of course her pooch Vegas. Her family, friends, and community will always remember her genuine kindness and most beautiful smile she gifted us all with daily. Her life was so full of love, promise, family, and friendships that should have lasted a lifetime had she not been taken this young.

A Celebration of Life will be held Sunday, June 10th, 2:00 pm at Queen’s Park Arena in New Westminster, as this should have been her 20th Birthday.

Messages of Condolences can be left online for the family.
