CPR

Business owner is sharing how to save a life Man who has saved two lives is training his staff to do the same thing Janaya Fuller-Evans

editorial@burnabynow.com

Having the right skills at the right time can save a life, and Joseph Halfar should know – he’s saved two. Halfar, who owns Prorise Painting, was driving in Burnaby on business nearly a year ago when he saw someone in distress. “I was at the corner of Willingdon (Avenue) and Hastings (Street), waiting for the light to turn. And there was a guy stumbling, looking like he was drunk, sort of leaning on the fence,” he told the NOW. “I worked with the City of Burnaby as a lifeguard for 10 years so I kind of clued in, wow, this guy is having a heart attack. So I pulled over and got out of the car and said, ‘Hey, how’s it going, my name’s Joseph, are you doing OK?’ And he dropped to the ground, basically he collapsed.” Halfar called 911, and then the man stopped breathing, he said. “I was doing CPR on him there on the corner, and the crazy thing is, people were just walking by on their phones,” he added. The paramedics arrived and worked on the man for 20 minutes, according to Halfar. “Three days later, the police called and said, ‘The doctors want to thank you for saving his life,’” Halfar said. Then, this past April, Halfar was at a yoga class. Soon after class began, a woman collapsed, he said. She stopped breathing, and Halfar performed CPR on her. She had a heart attack but survived. Because of these two incidences, Halfar has decided to provide his employees with CPR training and urges other employers to do the same to build a larger network of people with lifesaving skills. He credits his lifeguard training for his quick response and ability to help two people in medical distress. “When I worked for the City of Burnaby, I never did CPR on anyone,” he said, adding you never know when the training will be needed. “It does help, to make sure you know what to do, because it can happen any time.”

Letters a blast from the past

Former Seaforth Elementary students open time capsule assembled in Grade 3 Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

What a difference a decade makes. That was the lesson at Seaforth Elementary this week when a group of former students returned to open a time capsule they sealed when they were in Grade 3 – 11 years earlier. Now 19 and 20 years old, 11 former students (12 if you count one who attended via Facetime) gathered in the Seaforth library Monday to read letters they wrote to themselves more than a decade ago. Most had completely forgotten what they wrote. A couple laughed when they discovered how far behind they were on parenting timelines they’d laid down in Grade 3. “You’re going to be a great mom when you’re 20,” wrote Vanessa Chan.

That seems a bit hasty to the SFU visual arts student now. “I think back then I thought 20 was going to be like, you’re a grown-up, you have your family and all that stuff,” she said. Clarissa Montgomery’s predictions for the future were also off the mark, but not quite so far. She had planned to be a teacher but has since decided to become a speech therapist. “It’s super cute,” said the SFU student of her Grade 3 letter, which was filled with “yes, no, maybe so” checkboxes to questions like “Are you enjoying reading this as much as I’m enjoying writing it?” Aside from no longer planning to be a mom in her 20s, the interests classmate Mei Doerksen put down in her letter are still pretty current. She’s still really focused on school as an international studies student at SFU.

But her “future board” (a collage of cutout images created by each student to capture their Grade 3 interests and future aspirations) did include a shout-out to Avril Lavigne. Aidan Maddalozzo’s activity level, meanwhile, has changed dramatically since Grade 3. His letter was all about not having much to do outside of school back then. Those days are long gone for the BCITtrained electrician. “I have a job, so I have to work. I actually have to do something,” he said with a laugh. One of Antony Shiu’s future aspirations, according to his Grade 3 letter, was to spend time in the woods taking photos of different “harmless” animals. “It’s nice to reflect back to see what you were like in Grade 3,” he said.

Citynow HousingwillbetopBurnabyissue:expert Election will be demovictions versus steady stewardship of finances, says SFU political scientist

Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby Citizens Association is poised to further entrench itself as a political dynasty, but an insurgent Green Party hopes to drive a wedge into that dynasty’s foundation and make room for political upheaval. Mayor Derek Corrigan and the city’s seven sitting councillors — Pietro Calendino, Sav Dhaliwal, Dan Johnston, Colleen Jordan, Paul McDonnell, Nick Volkow and James Wang – all plan to run for re-election this fall, with BCA school trustee Baljinder Narang running to fill the vacant seat left by now-MLA Anne Kang. The BCA has held a firm grip on power in Burnaby since 1987, and holds a current monopoly with the city’s eight councillors, seven trustees and mayor all members of the NDP-allied party.The BCA has enjoyed electoral success in recent years thanks to its careful

stewardship of city finances, according to Simon Fraser Univeristy political scientist Paddy Smith.They have built up a billion-dollar reserve fund to finance capital projects, rather than rely on outside institutions. In 2009, Maclean’s Magazine named Burnaby the best-run municipality in the country, and BCA politicians have been reaping the benefits since. Incumbency was the key factor at the ballot box in 2011 and 2014, he said, but that could change in 2018. Housing will be the top issue, Smith predicts. “It’s going to be a great motivator,” he said. Many traditional BCA supporters have become disillusioned with the party as it has overseen a rash of demovictions in Metrotown, Smith said. As the city’s older lowrise walk-up apartment buildings are demolished to make way for new towers, more and more people are hoping for a regime change, he said. And Green council candi-

date Rick McGowan hopes they look to his party for housing solutions. “We want to make sure people understand the housing situation is not an inevitability,” he said.

(Housing is) going to be a great motivator.

McGowan, a teacher, and Carrie McLaren, an accountant, are the two declared Green council candidates, with punk rock star Joe Keithley looking to unseat Corrigan as mayor. (Valentine Wu was previously announced as a Green council candidate but has since pulled his name.) McGowan said his party plans to put housing at the centre of its platform. He said they’re working on the details now to ensure it’s a

“bulletproof” series of policies that will convince voters to turn their votes Green. The Greens hope to run a full slate of eight councillors, but McGowan said that will depend on whether they find the right people. At a minimum, they plan to run four council candidates and Keithley for mayor. If all five win, they will have a majority on council and make a “change in direction on council,” McGowan said. “Most of the debate I see in council is theatre, rather than a true debate or critiques of the policies,” McGowan said. McGowan isn’t the first to argue the lack of dissenting voices on council is bad for democracy. Smith said the idea has merit. “Generally ... most assemblies would be better served if there was a mix of voices,” he said. “But it also assumes that there isn’t a mix of voices within the governing party.” Coun. Colleen Jordan

said there is, indeed, diversity of opinion among her fellow BCA members. “We have differences amongst ourselves, but I think people also have confidence in the experience that we have and that we’ve run a pretty good city for the last length of time,” she said. “So having an opposition doesn’t necessarily make things better.” Jordan said she does not take the BCA’s strong position for granted. “You never know when you get up in the morning what’s going to be happening today, so who knows,” she said. “That’s what elections are all about.” Candidates who ran for the Burnaby First party in the 2014 election did not respond to requests for comment from the NOW. The party has not made any announcements about its intentions this year. Former fire captain Rudy Pospisil is running for council as an independent.

IN BRIEF

Burning motorcycle abandoned Police are looking for the owner of a motorcycle left burning by the side of a Burnaby road Sunday. Fire crews were called to Cariboo Road near Stormont Avenue at about 9 p.m. for reports of a single motorcycle on fire, according to assistant fire Chief Gavin Summers. Firefighters secured the scene and quickly extinguished the blaze, he said, but the rider of the bike was nowhere to be found. There was also no licence plate found on the 2014 Harley Davidson roadstertype motorcycle, according to Burnaby RCMP. Police have since located the owner, however, and the incident is under investigation. What are the possible consequences for someone abandoning a flaming motorcycle by the side of the road? “Depending on the circumstances, if a driver does not remain at the scene of an accident, they could be charged with failing to remain at the scene of an accident, which carries a fine of $368,” Burnaby RCMP Cpl. Daniela Panesar told the NOW.

Public hearing on Tuesday to discuss more highrises Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Less than a month after Burnaby councillors were berated by residents over plans to allow the demolition of aging apartment buildings to be replaced by highrises, they appear ready to face the music again. On Tuesday, June 26, the City of Burnaby will host a public hearing for similar rezoning applications. During the last public hearing on May 29, Mayor Derek Corrigan and the city’s seven councillors were harshly criticized in a series

of emotional speeches. A 24-storey highrise and townhomes, if approved, would replace four lowrise walk-up apartment buildings on Marlborough Avenue. In order for that to happen, council would have to approve rezoning from RM3 multiple family residential district (RM3) to comprehensive development district (CD). City staff has recommended council approve a rezoning application for 5895 Barker Ave., currently home to a three-storey apartment building in Metrotown.The developer

wants to build a 34-storey, 220-unit apartment building in its place. “Overall, the proposal is considered to embody exceptional urban design and architectural expression in terms of the building’s siting, massing, pedestrian orientation and materiality, thus meeting the standards and objectives for such development in the Central Park East Neighbourhood,” reads a staff report. Another proposal on Tuesday’s docket has a contentious backstory – the redevelopment of the old Royal Canadian Legion hall

site on Hastings Street in North Burnaby. The local Legion branch struck a deal with a developer in 2012.The two-storey building was demolished, but the five-storey multi-use building meant to replace it by 2015 never got built. A rift opened between the 148 branch and the provincial body overseeing it over how to proceed. Later, a new developer was brought in and now a revised plan for the property is before council. The plan calls for a new five-storey proposal, includ-

ing a bar open to the public on Hastings Street.The floors above will include apartments. Another highrise proposal is on the docket Tuesday for a 27-storey apartment building in Brentwood that would replace an aging industrial building on Alpha Avenue. A proposal to build a single-family home, add a vestibule to a building already under construction and an amaendment to the bylaw requiring new buildings to have electric vehicle charging will also be up for discussion at the public hearing.

Burnaby and Coquitlamarea employers expect a hopeful hiring climate for the third quarter of 2018, according to the latest ManpowerGroup Employment Outlook Survey. “Survey data reveals that 18 per cent of employers plan to hire for the upcoming quarter (July to September), while two per cent anticipate cutbacks,” stated Richard Plumb of Manpower’s Vancouver office. Eighty per cent of employers plan to maintain their current staffing levels in the upcoming quarter. “With seasonal variations removed from the data, Burnaby and Coquitlam’s third quarter Net Employment Outlook of 15 per cent is a three-percentage point decrease when compared to the previous quarterly Outlook,” said Stoltz. “It is also an increase of one percentage point from the Outlook reported during the same time last year, indicating a respectable hiring pace for the upcoming months.”

City now Project ‘special’ for teacher Continued from page 1 A couple of other former students were just too embarrassed to share the contents of their letters, sealed 11 years ago. The project was the brainchild of former Seaforth teacher Lynda Glavas, now teaching at Parkcrest Elementary, and parent Lydia Burchell-Strand, a life coach whose son Parker was in the class. It was the only time capsule Glavas has ever made with students. “I thought it would somehow decrease the excitement and value of it if I did it more than once,” she said. “I wanted it to be really special.” She stored the sealed box of letters and future boards in closets at home for 11 years. Every now and then she would run into students asking her when it would be time to open it. The plan, according to a note attached on the box, was for the class to find Glavas in June 2018. “Mrs. Glavas will announce the meeting in the newspaper, the internet or

tion. An April 11, 2007 edition of the NOW sealed in the capsule coincidentally featured a series of photos of a Seaforth student (not in Glavas’s class) competing in an egg-toss contest. Looking back, Glavas said her 2006/07 class were an energetic bunch and the timing for the project had been just right. Before letting them go their separate ways again Monday, she got her former students to write another letter and promised to invite them to her retirement party 10 or 11 years from now to open them.

It was Pirate Spirit Day at the school the day the capsule was sealed, according to a letter by Glavas included in the box. The Canucks had made the playoffs that year, according to the letter; wind storms had blown down trees in Stanley Park and part of the roof off B.C. Place; the new Port Mann Bridge had yet to be built and tomato seeds from Seaforth had spent 18 days on the International Space Sta-

Honour Virk and Todd by getting involved

Suman Virk and Carol Todd will be forever linked by the issue of bullying. Both found strength after the tragic deaths of their daughters by becoming outspoken anti-bullying advocates. Sadly, only one remains to continue the fight. Virk died on June 16 at the age of 58 having never seen true justice for her 14-year-old daughter, Reena, who was murdered in 1997 after being swarmed

and beaten by a group of mostly teen girls. One of the killers, Kelly Ellard, hasn’t taken real responsibility for her role in the killing. Suman and the rest of the Virk family had to suffer through three painful trials for Ellard, and then watched as this killer had a baby in prison before being released to a halfway house and her freedom. Suman and her husband Manjit channelled the pain of Reena’s death into

Let’s honour both of these mothers … by being more active in the fight against bullying. a decades-long anti-violence campaign.They travelled the country speaking to high school students and helped develop programs to combat bullying. For this, the couple was awarded B.C.’s highest hon-

our for community safety and crime prevention, the Anthony J. Hulme Award of Distinction. As for Carol Todd, she is still fighting for justice for her daughter Amanda, who took her own life at the age

of 15 after being cyberbullied. Carol is calling for 10,000 signatures to be signed to an e-petition (petition e-1736) urging the federal government to proclaim Oct. 10 as World Mental Health Day. “It is important to know that asking for help is OK and that there are people around us who care and want to help,” Carol said. “Awareness and education is necessary to bring together the conversations needed

to lessen the fear about talking about mental health, addictions and suicide preventions.” Neither mother asked for this role – it was thrust on them. Both embraced it – Suman until her final moments and Carol in her continuing fight. Let’s honour both of these mothers by signing the petition, and by being more active in the fight against bullying.

Mixed feelings on TWU ruling

Staying out of the conversational fray around Trinity Western University’s legal battles over the years is a tough thing for a former student who really loved the place – but is also gay. When I read news stories telling how the private evangelical Christian university has either won or lost some Supreme Court battle (teacher training program, law school) I’m just itching to chime in. I usually don’t because, especially in these screaming-at-each-other-acrossthe-void times, no one wants to hear about what a great time I had there or how some people there actually set me on a path away from the rigid fundamentalist thinking I’d adopted of my own volition. Like many a youth today yearning for a more meaningful life, I was drawn to fundamentalism. TWU’s infamous community covenant was a joke. Sex before marriage? Puhlease. I was busy trying to learn how to save the world, Mother Teresa-style. Without bashing my beliefs, though, there were people at Trinity who helped me challenge them, think through them critically. At SFU or UBC, rigid religious beliefs (Christian, Muslim, what have you) too often just go underground because, let’s face it, who’s going to pipe up in a firstyear university class there and ask, “Hey, what about homosexuality being a sin?” Like it or not, there are people who sincerely believe that, and simply forcing them to march along as though they don’t doesn’t

make them more accepting. That’s why I’ve always thought it was ridiculous to think making Trinity kids go to secular universities for their final year of teacher training or their years of law school would somehow scrub clean the fundamentalist taint. If they come out waving the rainbow flag of inclusion, it won’t be because of that. It’ll be because a fellow student or some brave soul on TWU’s faculty – and I hope there are still some left there – has challenged them, Christian to Christian. For that reason, part of me is disappointed by the Supreme Court of Canada’s 7-2 ruling last week recognizing the B.C. and Ontario law societies’ power to refuse accreditation to grads of Trinity’s proposed law school. I do have to marvel at TWU’s leaders – and evangelical Christians generally – continually choosing homosexuality as their hill to die on. “It is a sad (and dangerous) day for Canadian Christian institutions who hold to a Biblical standard of conduct,” proclaimed a post by @EOPSadvocate on Twitter after the ruling. But surely there’s still plenty of biblical conduct left for these institutions? Feeding the hungry comes to mind, as does clothing the naked, visiting the sick, and all those other things that separate the sheep from the goats. I don’t remember preventing gay and lesbian people from having sex even made the list. Cornelia Naylor is a reporter for the Burnaby NOW.

Fathers they are a-changin’

Parks board chair Richie Smith was astounded in December when he got calls from local dads complaining there was no diaper changing table in the men’s change room at C.G. Brown pool. Five dads who regularly took their tots with them to the morning swim had been changing them on narrow benches.When they discovered the women’s change room had a change table, they complained to the parks commission. “One man said he felt discriminated against,” said Richie with a laugh. “Fathers have changed considerably since I was one.”

Alberta’s premier needs to give her head a shake

Who will clean up spills?

Editor: I liked it when our mayor called the Metrotown area “Downtown Burnaby.” A number of new highrise buildings give impression that Burnaby is, at last, becoming a city. However, these new tall buildings are also powerful reflectors of sound. A growing number of loud bikes and modified car exhausts produce a terrible noise. Our city should ban the traffic noise and equip the police with adequate meters to enforce it. Zoran Bugarimovic, Burnaby

Editor: I wonder if anyone has prepared for the rail shipment of oil/products in and through Burnaby and the distinct possibility of a spill and or disaster related to same into Burrard Inlet ? Who would raise the alarm and who would clean up the mess on land and in the waters? Financing and overall responsibility for such a disaster needs urgent attention by council, the provincial government and the Kinder Morgan corporation. I look forward to reading that consideration and applicable action can and would be totally effective if a railway incident is in our collective future. Peter Dickinson-Starkey, Burnaby

Editor: Alberta’s premier needs to consider the following hypothetical headlines and then give her head a shake: “Grain spill cleanup begins in B.C.” and “Oil spill cleanup begins in B.C.” The environmental and the cost implications of these two headlines don’t even begin to compare. The same can be said for almost any other products shipped through B.C. from Alberta and vice versa. When was the last time anyone heard of a softwood lumber spill in Alberta that resulted in catastrophic environmental devastation and a multibillion-dollar cleanup? Monika Bonney, Burnaby

When I read this article (great writing/journalism) I went ballistic. I am sure my neighbours heard me. The Burnaby RCMP, City of Burnaby and the provincial government, previous and present (especially the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles and Ministry of Public Safety), are a bunch of useless, self-serving bureaucratic morons. I have personal knowledge about all three. What an embarrassing situation. There is still the ability to use common sense and discretion by these public servants, but it seems to have disappeared up some dark bodily orifice. I sincerely hope someone’s head will roll over this, and my sympathies are completely with Mr. Law. I. Carter, Burnaby

we can’t have success without donations,” she said. “So this is a call to action for companies and even individuals that when they have computers they’d like to get rid of, that they think to donate to us so that we can repurpose them and put them back into family homes.” The program accepts desktop computers, monitors, smartphones and tablets, printers, networking devices, laptops and more. They are always looking for laptops, she added.

This initiative is an opportunity for the technology sector, as more young people will have access to technology, meaning more potential employees in the future,Waddington said. “We have an opportunity for B.C. to expand its technical skills; in particular the IT sector is always looking for new talent,” she said. “So this is just opening up another door to find that talent as well.” ! To donate, go to www. reusetechbc.ca/donate to learn more.

The proposed Bylaw and Plan may be inspected at the Office of the City Clerk, 4949 Canada Way, Burnaby, British Columbia, on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays between 8:00 a.m. and 4:45 p.m. and Thursdays between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. Anyone who considers themselves affected by the proposed bylaw is provided an opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting the bylaw to Burnaby City Council by submitting a letter addressed to: Mayor and Council, 4949 Canada Way, Burnaby, B.C. V5G 1M2. All submissions must be received by the City Clerk no later than Noon, Wednesday, 2018 July 04.

Computers for Schools, run by the British Columbia Technology for Learning Society, will be distributing about 6,000 computers to low-income families in British Columbia. It’s part of the Connecting Families initiative by the federal government, which aims to provide low-income families with $10 monthly Internet service and give up to 50,000 computers to those in need. Computers for Schools is a partnership between the provincial and federal governments and private industry, which collects and refurbishes donated used computers for B.C. schools. The initiative launches in October and is expected to wrap up by March 2022, according to Mary-Em Waddington, the executive director of B.C.Technology for Learning Society. “It’s going to mean a lot to students and their families in the school year, but

Student wins national gold

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Burnaby South Secondary Grade 12 student Gio Porta doesn’t actually want to grow up to be a computer networking technician, the trade that earned him a gold medal at the Skills Canada national competition last month. Porta wants to be a cop – but computers are all part of the plan. He wants to work in computer forensics one day and help police catch crooks by analyzing their seized electronics or investigating their cybercrimes online. “I’ve kind of combined my passion and, I guess, hobby with computers into my career goal with the RCMP,” he told the NOW. His tech skills certainly seem up to snuff, but he almost didn’t take the chance to show them off at Skills B.C. or Skills Canada this year.

It’s something I can put on my resumé … He didn’t even know the annual Olympic-style skills competition existed, he said, and credits computer teacher Eddie Wong for encouraging him to enter. Porta won gold at the provincial competition in Abbotsford in April and was the only Burnaby delegate to the national event in Edmonton June 4 to 5. The two-day competition was intense, according to Porta, covering sections on computer hardware,Windows OS configuration, networking and troubleshooting. “They give you a ton of tasks that you have to try to complete, and they don’t

expect you to be able to complete all of them, so you have to kind of prioritize and figure out what you can get by first and then you have to work on the harder tasks,” he said. Porta is the second student from the school district’s ACE-IT computer networking technician program at Burnaby South to earn gold at the nationals. (Calvin Leung won in 2016.) Wong, who runs the program, said he tries to schedule its content so students interested in competing get the skills and knowledge they need by the time competition time rolls around in April. But the program’s national champions have both been students who go above and beyond. “There are some students that study hard and they work hard in class with the material and they can be successful,”Wong said, “but what sets Gio apart and others is when you have a passion and you do things in your spare time.” Porta hopes winning gold at the national competition will help with job opportunities after he graduates this month. “It’s something I can put on my resume to prove my skill set and demonstrate my knowledge,” he said. He should have plenty of time during his first semester in BCIT’s computer information systems administration program next year, since the courses he’s finishing at Burnaby South dovetail into the two-year diploma program. “I get credit for most of the first semester courses, so first semester I only have to do part time,” he said. Next stop after getting his diploma will be the technical institute’s forensic investigations program.

HOPE FOR THE PLANET: Filmmakers Nova Ami, left, and Velcrow Ripper travelled the world for the filming of their documentary Metamorphosis, on screen at the Vancity Theatre starting June 26. PHOTO GRANT BALDWIN, COURTESY NATIONAL FILM BOARD happened; and the symbiosis stage, where new relationships develop between humanity and the planet. Viewers are transported to a variety of locations and stages of crisis: wildfires in California, the aftermath of Cyclone Pam inVanuatu, the flooding caused by rising tides inVenice, the loss of coral reefs in the Caribbean.The film relies heavily on artists – aVenetian mask maker, a sculptor creating underwater “reefs” made of concrete – to take its look at how climate change is affecting the planet. It also finds people and organizations who are taking steps to change the fate of the planet: a New Mexico resident who created a self-sustaining “Earthship” in the desert; a company that turns unused swimming pools into greenhouse

gardens; an architect who builds treed highrises in Milan; a company that installs free solar panels for people in need in the U.S. It was important to both Ami and Ripper that they focus not just on the crisis of climate change but on possible solutions. “I think we have a lot of faith in the creativity and ingenuity and resilience of both the human species and the natural world,” Ripper says, though he acknowledged it won’t be an easy journey. “It is going to take a radical change in our culture and our thinking.” Not surprisingly, tackling a subject as vast as climate change was no small project. Metamorphosis was about four years in the making from beginning to end. Phoenix was just a baby when the couple began film-

ing, so he spent much of his early life in a carrier, strapped to his mother and travelling all over the world. It started when he was four months old, with a 20-hour journey toVanuatu. Ami carried Phoenix on her front and had a drone strapped to her back. “I felt like one of those coat stands, with something hanging off every limb,” Ami says with a laugh. They arrived at the South Pacific island with no agenda, other than to explore the effects of Cyclone Pam. “Being a documentary filmmaker is a bit like being a detective or an explorer,” Ripper says. “Sometimes you don’t know what’s going to happen.” What happened, in the end, is a film that both are proud of. Ami notes they deliber-

ately avoided the convention of the “talking head” in putting together the documentary, choosing instead to let the locations and the people speak for themselves. It was a risk, she acknowledges, but judging by audience reaction, it’s one that seems to have paid off. Critical reviews – from such publications as The Globe and Mail,The Toronto Star and Le Devoir – have been full of praise. And, even more importantly, the audience reaction has reinforced to them that their mission has succeeded: people are saying it’s a film that isn’t preaching but that makes them think, a film that’s beautiful to watch, and a film they want to see over and over again. “I was thinking today, it doesn’t get much better than this,” Ripper says.

The company is also encouraging employees to join Team Cassie and Friends in the ScotiabankVancouver Half Marathon and 5K Charity Challenge on Sunday, June 24.

Communitynow Our love for evergreens is ageless Mark Cullen

Gardening with Mark

In the last few weeks, many of the plants in our garden have awoken from winter slumber and grown a new cloak of green. Leaves now block our view where, for about six months of the year, we could see through the skeleton of deciduous trees and shrub branches. Surrounded by a leafy wonder-world, as we are today, it is easy to forget the benefits of evergreens.They too sleep through winter but don’t lose their foliage, thereby providing yearround interest. Evergreens make a great screen or permanent hedge; large evergreens like spruce, pine and fir provide privacy and nesting areas for song birds. Here are some outstanding evergreens that should be on your radar: BOXWOOD The new hybrids produce a deeper green, denser foliage and are generally more winter hardy than the widely used Korean boxwood. Look for Green Gem and Green Mound for a natural, mounding shape that requires very little pruning and produces a deep green colour. The redeeming features of boxwood are many.They are short; they grow slowly; they are broad-leafed; they are shade-tolerant.

YEWS (TAXUS) You plant them, water them for a year or two and walk away.The wide selection of varieties is worthy of most anyone’s attention. Hicks yew is the most popular for hedging, growing up to about two metres, while Hill’s yew is equally useful and grows to a meter or so. Pyramid or Japanese yews are great specimens that will grow to about three metres. All yews lend themselves marvellously to pruning. Nothing conforms to shape by pruning quite like yews do. And nothing beats a yew clipped into the shape of a duck. Taxus originally got their name from the Greek word taxon, a bow; the wood was used for making bows for many years, long ago. Yews enjoy full sun to partial shade. OREGON GRAPE (MAHONIA) Technically, this is a deciduous plant that holds its peculiar holly-like foliage over the winter. Come spring it pushes the old leaves off as it creates new ones. But because it looks evergreen we categorize it here. A native of the Canadian West Coast, it’s shade tolerant. JAPANESE SPURGE (PACHYSANDRA) An excellent permanent ground cover that takes a beating.We had a dog that

stomped through it for years. No damage. Even people can walk on it from time to time and pachysandra will continue to look good. Plant on 15 cm centres to create a grid that will naturally fill for a carpet of evergreen. EUONYMUS Few garden plants are as versatile as euonymus. Look for the dark leaved Sarcox-

ie wintercreeper for a selfclinging vine that will grow up to two storeys high or can be trimmed into a small shrub. Consider evergreens in June, and they’ll be there for you in January. Now is a good time to plant. Follow Mark at markcullen. com and @markcullengardening on Facebook.

Here’s why my tween isn’t getting her own Instagram account – yet Mommy’s

GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

It’s been an internal struggle for me for almost two years. Since my oldest daughter was nine years old, she has been asking me for her own Instagram account, and as more of her friends have been granted access to the social media “musthave,” she has become increasingly desperate to give it a go as well. For me, it hasn’t been so much about her age – at least not entirely.There are of course the terms of use set out by Instagram itself, stating that “Instagram requires everyone to be at least 13 years old before they can create an account” – but this age restriction is mostly the company’s way of publicly complying with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, making it legal for Instagram to work with advertisers.

My daughter is mature and responsible for her age. I don’t doubt she would post with discretion, sharing innocent photos of her favourite things, liking photos shared by her friends, and erring on the side of caution if new follow requests were to land in her inbox. The thing is, I’ve been active on Instagram for nearly seven years, and while there are many things that I like about it (the beautiful imagery, the benefits for businesses, connecting with real-life friends, and making new ones online), there are also facets of the Facebook-owned space that have me feeling hesitant when it comes to letting her navigate the space on her own. The content on Instagram is primarily posted by people who believe that they are sharing their photos with a mature audience. According to a survey conducted by Statista, 61 per cent of the users on Instagram are between the ages of 18 and

34, with only seven per cent noted as being between the ages of 13 and 17. While it’s possible to set your account’s settings to private, this does not limit the user to what they see posted by other people. One tap on the search icon, and

Instagram can be emotionally draining the user is exposed to a public space of photos and videos that are not restricted by age. I wouldn’t let my child loose in an adults-only party that has no rules or restrictions in place, and I view this space in a similar way. At an age where children are still trying to figure out who they are and how they fit into society, a platform like Instagram can be emotionally draining. Users can quickly become affixed to

how many likes and follows they’ve acquired. As their photo feed fills with perfectly posed imagery and inflated engagement numbers, their self-confidence can drop.This causes many to post for likes instead of liking what they post. I’ve seen this happen to tweens, and even to the most confident adults. I don’t judge those parents who have decided that Instagram is the right choice for their children, but when it comes to the implied immediacy of Instagram and similar social media platforms, I’m just not in a rush for my children to get started. We’ve begun to discuss the dos and don’ts of social media use, and when I feel that my daughter is ready to attend the party, we will enter the space together, side by side. Bianca Bujan is a mom of three, writer, editor, and marketing consultant. Find her online at @bitsofbee.

The offices of family doctors are not known for their esthetic appeal. The magazines are notorious for being dated and out of season.The walls of reception areas and exam rooms can look like community bulletin boards. Signs, notices and posters abound, but many are not essential or even helpful for your health. Without my knowledge, posters and pamphlets from commercial organizations make their way into the waiting room. I catch on when patient after patient asks about the latest drug for toenail fungus or testosterone replacement.

larly giving them to patients who would benefit from our city’s great recreational facilities and programs. I’m mindful of the appearance of my exam rooms. There, the most photographed poster is my ABCs of Health and Happiness. Although a patient may be coming in with acute and chronic medical conditions or coping with other difficult challenges, these ideas remind us both of the basics of health and happiness. Here they are from A to Z: Accept responsibility for your own health. It’s not your fault if you have an accident or suffer from disease, but doing what you can to foster health can improve outcomes and the quality of your life. Be active. Regular activity – physical, mental and social – will support a healthy body, brain and heart. Create happiness for yourself and others. Happiness is not a state that just occurs when good things happen. It should be a verb instead of a noun.We have to discover and do what

makes us (and those around us) happy. Don’t drink to excess. This goes for all substances that impair our minds, damage our bodies and make us behave badly. Help is available.Talk to your doctor. Eat a healthy diet. Everything you put in your body serves as the fuel or building blocks for the cells of your body.Treat your body like a luxury car; choose premium. Follow your bliss.What creative or physical activity puts a smile on your face and makes you lose track of time? Do what you love to do. Greet each day with gratitude. As neuropsychologist Rick Hansen has said, our brains are velcro for the negative and teflon for the positive.To overcome this natural negativity bias, look for at least five positives for every negative in your life. Help yourself to happiness by helping others. If we’re only concerned with looking after ourselves, we will be destined to be sad and lonely – or at least mis-

erable with the people around us. Identify your strengths. What are your signature strengths?Your superpowers? They can be a source of resilience. How can you use them to improve your world? Jump at every opportunity to make someone else’s day. Seize the positive potential of the moment. Kickstart each day by counting your blessings. Set up an attitude of gratitude. Love unconditionally; we are all human and worthy of

being loved. Love yourself the same way. Mind your thoughts; they shape your moods. Rumination (repeating the same angry, anxious or negative thoughts) has never brought anyone happiness. It entrenches negative emotional states. Nurture healthy relationships.They require time, attention and care. Open your heart and mind. Be open to others and to new ideas. Project inner peace. Be the positive change you

want to see at work, home or school. Quit smoking and other harmful habits. Respect your body. It’s the only one you have. Smile and see the beauty in your world, in others and in yourself. Transform every problem into a positive goal. Once you see the positive, take steps towards it. Understand that it takes a village to care for a village; everyone matters. Visualize your goals. When feeling rushed, wait for your mind and body to move together.To paraphrase Gandhi, happiness is when what you say and what you do are aligned with who you are. eXude passion.Your life – like the lives of everyone around you – is precious and brief. Yield to your better and wiser self. Zestfully embrace this day. Enjoy the good that is. Dr. DavidicusWong is a family physician. See more at www.davidicuswong.word press.com.

Night of soul raises funds for LGBTI scholarships Organization that started the Pulse Memorial Scholarships began right here in Burnaby It’s a celebration of soul, Motown, funk and show tunes, and it’s raising money for a worthy cause: the LGBTI Pulse Memorial Scholarships. Sweet Bubbling Nights, presented by Soulful Productions, is onstage Saturday, June 23 at 8 p.m. at the Vancouver Playhouse. The performance brings together 23 top musical talents, female impersonators and dancers in support of the scholarship – the first of its kind in the United Nations system, presented by the International Organization for Migration. It’s awarded to LGBTI youth around the world who are pursuing a university or college degree. “I am honoured to team with this dynamic lineup of artists for a rousing evening of entertainment to raise the profile of the LGBTI

global community and, in particular, support LGBTI youth around the world,” said Daniel Szabo, producer of Soulful Productions and humanitarian at the International Organization for Migration, in a press release. Szabo grew up in the Capitol Hill area of Burnaby and lived in the city when he started up the foundation that supports the scholarships. “With this scholarship, we are just beginning to reach a segment of our constituents who view (the International Organization for Migration) as an advocate for their rights,” Szabo said. “During Sweet Bubbling Nights, audience members will be treated to a lively and fun-filled evening of performances by topnotch entertainers, and, at the same time, have the chance to support the LG-

Badgers fine-tune in 45+ league

B.C. women’s baseball team preps for nationals

Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

It isn’t exactly a league of their own, but the B.C. Badgers are glad to have the opportunity to hone their skills and test their mettle against players with a lot of experience. When you’re aiming to be the best team in Canadian women’s baseball, you embrace those chances to battle on the diamond as often as possible. For the Badgers, that means weekly games against teams in the Lower Mainland Baseball League’s Over-45 Division, and the partnership has benefited both sides. “For the past two years the LMBA has worked with Baseball B.C. to further the development of female baseball in B.C.,” LMBA commissioner Dan Taylor said in an email. “For the past three years, some individual (women) players have played on men’s teams ...This year, the LMBA added a complete female team to our 45+ division and it has proven a big success for both the women’s program and for our teams.” Badgers assistant coach Doug Strohan said a main benefit has been the reps the team has received in competitive games. Although the squad has not registered a victory yet, the games give the players chances at honing their skills in preparation for the national championships. “The biggest thing we come up against when we play in the 45+ games is the experience – most of the men have decades more experience,” said Strohan, who works alongside head coach Ken MacKenzie. “Our focus is in preparing for the nationals and finetuning the little things, like holding baserunners and cutting down the mistakes.” Strohan, whose own experiences on the diamond include playing in Burnaby with the senior Bulldogs and in New West at Douglas College, said the core of the women’s team – where the ages run from 17 to mid-40s – has been together for about six years, with a national gold in 2016 as a highlight. Watching former teammate Claire Eccles earn her keep as a member of both UBC’s women’s softball and with the semi-pro Victoria HarbourCats baseball team has only helped put a spotlight on their sport. “We’re seeing there is a real audience for women’s baseball, that there are a number of them who want to play.We’re always trying to promote the sport – Baseball B.C. is running camps for girls and the turnout has been unreal,” said Strohan. The Badgers wrap up their 45+ schedule on Wednesday with a game against the defending 45+ champion Vancouver Pirates, 6:30 p.m at Burnaby’s Central Park.

ON THE FAST TRACK: Burnaby’s Nathan Mah, centre, will be competing Wednesday in the 200-metre national division race at the Harry Jerome International Track Classic at Swangard Stadium. The two-day event, which starts Tuesday at 6:30 p.m., is drawing a full slate of international and national competitors. PHOTO SFU ATHLETICS

Jerome Classic attracts local talent

Burnaby sprinters excited to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Olympic runners Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

For Nathan Mah, it will be a chance to run on his home track and celebrate his 20th birthday. It will be a jog down memory lane for David Mattiazzo. Both know there will be no ‘taking it in stride’ at next week’s Harry Jerome International Track Classic, where an elite class of national and international competitors will merge at Burnaby’s Swangard Stadium to test their various skills. Mattiazzo will be there in his capacity as a coach with the St. Thomas More Collegiate boys 4x100 metre team, but adds the perspective of someone who did the event nearly 20 years ago, up against the likes of Canadian Olympians Donovan Bailey and Robert Esmie. “I ran anchor at this meet against Donovan Bailey and the Canadian Olympic gold (medal) 4x100m team. It was an experience I never forgot,” said Mattiazzo. Mah, a Burnaby Central alum who races for Simon Fraser University, will line up Wednesday for his 200-metre national division event with an eye towards building on a strong season. “I’m pumped for it,” Mah said. “I’ve been training with the Coquitlam Cheetahs (track club) for the past month or so. … Af-

ter (the Great Northwest Athletic Conference championships) I felt a bit fatigued from the long NCAA season, but now I feel I’m getting back into it.The past few weeks I’ve been slowly getting those times down again.” The Jerome, which goes June 26 and 27, attracts world champions and provides first-rate competition for athletes from around the globe in preparation for Olympic qualifying meets. This year’s edition – which sees the Classic return to Swangard Stadium after a one-year stop in Coquitlam, while Swangard underwent a major renovation – features a unique dual challenge between Canada and China’s sprint teams. Among those competing are Canadian standout sprinters Andre De Grasse and Aaron Brown (100m and 4x100m), Langley’s Georgia Ellenwood (100m hurdles and long jump), France’s Justine Fedronic (in the women’s 800m) and Canadian Olympic medallist Damian Warner (110m hurdles). Mah, who at the GNAC championships set a season’s best of 21.93 seconds in the 200m and a personal best (PB) of 10.75 in the 100m, will approach his 200m race (scheduled for Wednesday at 6:40 p.m.) as a chance to keep that momentum going. “Honestly, I’d like to hit a season’s best. I’d be pretty happy

with that and wouldn’t complain if it’s a PB,” Mah said. “Usually when you PB it comes when you least expect it, at least for me.You just run; you don’t expect anything and afterwards you see that time pop up, OK, I PB’d. “Before every race I don’t really have a set time I want to aim for. I just want to clear my mind and run off of instinct.” Mattiazzo’s 4x100m men’s team will take to the track alongside the Chinese and Canadian national squads – a formidable lineup for kids who will have spent the past few weeks hitting final exams. “(Our) team is a confident group, and I like how they want to compete. Our expectation is to run a strong race and have good handoffs,” said Mattiazzo of the race, scheduled for Wednesday evening. The squad, which won the B.C. high school 4x100 title just three weeks ago, includes Grade 11 Julian Valerio, and graduating runners David Osho,Tyler Eckert, Emmanuel Dadson and Aaron Field. Both Osho and Eckert are heading to university to continue their gridiron careers and studies (universities of Toronto and Wilfrid Laurier, respectively), while Dadson will be taking his track shoes up Burnaby Mountain to compete for SFU. “I feel that this will be a once-

in-a-lifetime experience for the boys and (want them) to just enjoy the moment,” said the coach. “We teach them that in track you can’t control what your competition does; all you can control is your performance. Focus on the things in our control, such as good handoffs, staying relaxed and being prepared. “Track and field is not about winning or losing (but) rather competing to the best of your ability.” Mah will not only have birthday cake as extra fuel, he’ll be embracing the opportunity to run on his home turf. As a youth competing for both the Burnaby Central Secondary and Burnaby Striders track teams, he has run the Swangard track countless times.This time will be extraspecial, he said. “I’m excited but also nervous. Nervous excitement, I guess,” he said. “I’m excited to run before a bigger crowd than I’m used to and that’s got me a little bit nervous. I’ve been running there since high school, at district championships. … Definitely I’ll have my family out and hopefully a few friends, but certainly my family will be there for support.” The Vancouver Sun Harry Jerome International Track Classic starts Tuesday at 6:30 p.m., and continues Wednesday at 6 p.m. Tickets are available by visiting www.harryjerome.com.
