Fire hero still looking for justice in court Remigiusz Janus is claiming damages after rescuing man from burning home Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A man honoured by the Burnaby fire department in 2012 for pulling an elderly neighbour from a burning apartment will be allowed to have his day in B.C. Supreme Court as he tries for a third time to sue the owner and managers of the building.

Remigiusz Janus, a former Polish firefighter, waded through thick black smoke on April 16, 2012 to pull his neighbour, Iliya Mochev, from his burning fourthfloor apartment at the Kingsway Court seniors’ residence at 5560 Inman Ave. Mochev had been cooking when he took a fall and couldn’t get up, according to news reports at the time.

The pot on the stove continued cooking, eventually sparking a fire inside of the small apartment.

Instead of getting out of the building, Janus plunged into the smoke-filled apartment to get Mochev.

“He went in as far as he could and decided to turn back when he couldn’t locate his neighbour. It was then that he stepped on Mr. Mochev, and then he dragged him out and took him down the four floors,” fire department inspector Dave Wensley said at the time.

The fire department honoured Janus with a certificate for the heroic deed, but he told local media outlets in 2012 that he found the temporary accommodations B.C. Housing provided to residents displaced by the fire intolerable and had decided to live for a time in his Volkswagen van.

Hurley fires back at the mayor

Mayoral candidate says Corrigan unfairly accused him of stacking labout council vote Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Mayoral candidate Mike Hurley is firing back at Mayor Derek Corrigan, who accused him of stacking a labour council vote to gain a crucial endorsement.

“It’s the same tired old messaging from Corrigan – that it’s always someone else’s fault and never his,” Hurley said. “You just come to expect that.”

Hurley was responding to comments Corrigan made in a recent NOW story about the New Westminster and District Labour Council endorsing Hurley for mayor in the Oct. 20 municipal election.

Order Take-Out. Call 310-SPOT (7768) or order online at www.whitespot.ca

Corrigan said Hurley “stacked the meeting with firefighters from all over the region” in order to earn the endorsement. Corrigan did not respond to an interview request for this story.

The endorsement was a striking break from tradition, as the NWDLC has endorsed Corrigan in all five of his successful runs for the mayor’s chair.

But firefighters were only five of 60 delegates who voted at the June 27 meeting, according to Hurley.

“If that’s what Mr. Corrigan calls ‘stacking the deck,’ then I guess, as usual, when you’ve been around too long you kind of make things up,” he said.

The president of the local fire-

fighters’ union – a post Hurley previously held for eight years – said he was one of those five firefighters at the meeting.

“I do not know where Mayor Corrigan got his facts (he did not attend) but they are wrong and he may want to check his sources as they are not giving him a factual account,” Jeff Clark said in an email.

Hurley said Clark is supportive of his campaign, but not directly involved.

Both Corrigan and Green Party mayoral candidate Joe Keithley have suggested Hurley is mainly interested in representing firefighters who have had a testy relationship with Corrigan, including a

four-year contract negotiation that ended in 2016.

“I have no personal vendetta,” Hurley said. “I’m very concerned about the direction of the city and how people are being discarded in the city now and not being listened to.”

The NWDLC secretary treasurer Janet Andrews was not available to comment on this story. She previously confirmed the news about Hurley’s endorsement to the NOW. Andrews also previously confirmed that NWDLC delegates voted to decline endorsing the seven incumbent councillors, all of whom are members of Corrigan’s Burnaby Citizens Association party.

50 Years of Curiosity

A

The city’s largest child-care provider is on top of Burnaby Mountain and ‘feels like a fort’ Story by Kelvin Gawley ! Photos by Cornelia Naylor

series of tiered wooden buildings nestled into the lush forest of Burnaby Mountain house a network of classrooms, playgrounds and offices connected by shaded outdoor walkways.

A steady stream of laughs, hoots and squeaky voices spurt from all around and reverberate through the home of SFU’s Childcare Society.

“It kind of feels like a fort,” says Laura Bayes, describing the facility’s “treehouse vibe.”

When Bayes was a kid, she called this is calm oasis in the trees her second home. Now, years later, she brings her own children, 8 and 6, to SCS as she studies archeology a short walk away at the university.

The non-profit is celebrating its 50th anniversary of providing topnotch childcare to SFU’s faculty, staff, students and surrounding community. SCS currently cares for roughly 300 kids and is Burnaby’s largest child-care provider.

Children from infants younger than one to kids in after-school programs up to Grade 6 attend its two locations – the wooden “fort” on the west end of campus and UniverCity Childcare to the east.

“When I think about my time here, I don’t have any bad memories,” Bayes says. “It brings a smile to my face to think of that period.”

And she’s reminded often of those good times. She takes her two boys to the centre every week and she still has a picture book she made there as a kid documenting her adventures in scribbled pictures and words.

Bayes says her kids are too young to appreciate the “generational connection” their family has to the place, but they do appreciate the care they receive there.

“It was just a really fun environment and it’s nice, as a kid, to feel safe being apart from your parents and it’s often hard as a child to build that trust with someone but the educators here are very welcoming and they always have been.”

THE SCS METHOD Pat Frouws, the centre’s executive director, says the environment, the teachers and the children themselves all play large roles in an intentional strategy that goes far beyond simply minding kids while their parents work.

“We are convinced the children of tomorrow, the adults of tomorrow, need to be curious, need to collaborate and need to be creative,” she says.

The SCS method is inspired by the Italian Reggio Emilia approach, which puts the children’s interests at the forefront. It also

tening to kids more and more.”

When kids want to play with ropes, they might spend a couple weeks learning all of the different ways they can be fun or useful.

“This allows for the children to begin making choices,” Pedersen says.

“I’m thinking that it’s making them stronger individuals that are going to be able to express what they’re wanting and what they’re needing.”

FEELS LIKE HOME

GOOD TIMES: (Top photo) Jennifer Englouen, right, shares a laugh with Zayne. (Bottom left) Nita Pederson has been an SCS educator for 28 years. (Bottom right) Stephanie McKay with (L-R) Lucas and Ruby.

puts great focus on the children’s surroundings, making their environment a crucial part of their early learning.

For example, Frouws says, SCS educators will leave pieces of wire on a table and allow kids play with them. She said many parents will be surprised to see kids younger than three rig a simple tool out of the wire and use it to reach a light switch.

There are few plastic objects at SCS facilities and more buckets,

blocks and shovels than most early childhood facilities.

This helps them learn how the physical world works, Frouws explains.

“We don’t know what we need in the future, it’s not rote learning or adult-directed learning,” she says. “They need to be able to think on their own and get along with others.”

This early learning includes playing with dirt, dumping buckets of water into a sink and even

hiking into the forest to find berries to make muffins with.

“It’s viewing children differently – as capable and competent,” says Fouws.

EDUCATORS WHO LISTEN Nita Pedersen says she has only seen the care for kids improve over her 28 years as an educator with SCS. She says the centre has gotten “stronger and better over the years, as educators have been lis-

Nancy Hawkins says her sons have benefitted immensely from the care they have received at SCS. Her eldest son, now 21, still looks back fondly on his time at the centre.

When he transferred to middle school in Coquitlam, he still chose to bus to SFU to continue attending the Voyagers afterschool program.

“It was a home to him,” she says. “It was this absolutely welcoming place where he could just be 100 per cent himself.”

Now her younger son, 10, is following in his brother’s footsteps. He has gone all the way through the SCS gamut from its infant, toddler, pre-school and now attending the same afterschool program.

He and his pals build intricate race tracks for marbles or spend long hours playing basketball or try to break silly records – like who can wiggle their ears the most times – set by previous generations of SCS kids.

Whatever they do in a day, it’s largely decided by them, the kids.

Hawkins, who chairs SFU’s molecular biology and biochemistry department, became so enamoured with the SCS approach to child care, she decided to get involved.

She now sits as vice-chair on its board of directors.

“Once you’re here as a parent, you realize that this is a really special place,” she says.

“It’s a community and you want to be involved in that community.”

SCS has already held an educator appreciation day and a family fun day as part of its 50th anniversary celebrations. !On Sept. 21, SCS will host its a dinner and silent auction at the Diamond Alumni Centre at Burnaby’s SFU campus (tickets are $25). First Nations artist Jody Broomfield is taking input from children enrolled in SCS programs as he creates a commemorative art piece that will be unveiled at the dinner. On Oct. 13 SCS will open its child-care centre for an open house.

ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENTS PUBLIC HEARING

CRIME

IHIT kept child’s murder from public

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Homicide investigators kept the 2015 death of a Burnaby infant from the public in part because her suspected killer – her father – was not deemed a threat to public safety.

The man’s seven-monthold daughter died on March 1, 2015.

His name cannot be published because of a ban on any information that could identify his daughter.

Almost a year after the baby girl’s death, on Oct. 28, 2016, the father was arrested at Lougheed Town Centre Station and charged with second-degree murder in the case, according to court documents.

His four-week trial wrapped up last month, and a judge is scheduled to deliver a verdict in the case in September.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team, however, never made public the infant’s death or the investigation.

Investigators made that decision because the father had been identified as a potential suspect early in the investigation, according to IHIT, and the suspected

killing was determined to be an isolated incident and there was no further risk to the public.

“As such, there was no cause to warn the public, nor a need to elicit public assistance to identify additional suspects or victims,” read an emailed statement from IHIT. “In absence of public safety considerations, we also did not wish to have (the man) labelled as a suspect in a child death at the

What a waste of a life, for a decision that I made so quickly.

time of his arrest before any court proceedings.”

The family had also “wished for privacy” at the time, according to IHIT, and investigators did not want to “further victimize” family members.

The case first became public last month, when a B.C. Supreme Court ruling about it was posted on the court’s website.

That ruling, by Justice

Jeanne Watchuk found “inculpatory” statements the man gave while being held at the Burnaby detachment after his arrest were admissible in court, despite the fact he had been in alcohol withdrawal and had hallucinated in his cell.

Based on testimony from medical experts,Watchuk ruled the man had only been in mild-to-moderate alcohol withdrawal when he made the statements.

A transcript of conversations the man had with officers was released with the judge’s ruling.

After a little more than 25 hours in police custody, he was on a cigarette break with officers in the detachment garage when he said: “Waste of a life, f–kin’ five seconds.”

“What do you mean, man?” asked an officer.

“What a waste of a life, for a decision that I made so quickly.”

“You just snapped? Is that what you mean by it happened so quickly?”

“Yeah.”

The infant had been in a baby swing, according to the transcript.

“She just cried, cried and cried and cried and cried,” the father said.

City now Man says fire left him homeless for an entire year Continued from page 1 Janus, now 64, first tried to sue the burned apartment building’s management company – FirstService Residential BC Ltd. – in provincial court in 2014, claiming the firm was guilty of negligence and responsible for smoke-related injuries and the loss of personal property, but a judge dismissed that action, saying it was under the jurisdiction of the Residential Tenancy Branch.

When Janus launched a Residential Tenancy Branch action in 2015 against the management company and the owners of the building, Central Park Citizen Society, however, that case was dismissed because the two-year time limit for filing the claim had elapsed.

After being diagnosed with cancer in September 2015, Janus launched a new suit against the owner and managers in B.C. Supreme Court. He alleges their negligence led to him being exposed to harmful smoke and asbestos dust, as well as to him losing personal belongings and being rendered homeless for a year. His suit seeks damages for past and future income loss and future care costs.

The owners and managers applied to have the case dismissed, in part because the earlier two cases had been dismissed and Janus should have appealed them rather than filing another suit.They also argued the latest suit had been filed too late. Justice Diane MacDonald disagreed.

In a July 4 ruling, she found Janus’s cancer diagnosis had changed the nature of his claim, rendering the earlier rulings irrelevant.

“With the diagnosis of cancer, the claim, if successful, may well exceed the $35,000 limit under the RTA,” MacDonald stated. “This is also the case with respect to the Small Claims matter.”

She concluded Janus’s suit should be heard.

“To date, the claim has not been heard on the merits,” she stated. “Delay in these circumstances is not sufficient to deny the plaintiff the opportunity to have his case heard on the merits.”

Fire hero: Remigiusz Janus was hospitalized after saving another man from a burning building in April of 2012. He has been fighting for compensation ever since. PHOTO NOW FILES

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Loss of Greyhound will disconnect province

The news Monday that Greyhound was shutting down bus operations in Western Canada dropped like a bombshell.

If you’ve never taken one of the buses, then perhaps you can be forgiven for wondering what all the fuss is about.

Greyhound’s routes provide a lifeline for B.C.’s small towns and for Metro Vancouverites alike.

Social media lit up with stories of people who were teenagers and took the bus

to go see relatives in towns across the province.

Others shared stories about how they can’t drive or don’t own a vehicle and rely on the bus to connect with the rest of B.C. and other parts of Western Canada.

Small towns are hit particularly hard, with mayors from such places as Osoyoos and Clinton talking about the damage it will do to its citizens.

Even worse is that the safety of people is at risk

as some could be forced to hitchhike in order to travel.

Effective Oct. 31, Ontario and Quebec will be the only regions where Greyhound’s buses will travel.

The exception is a route in B.C. between Vancouver and Seattle that will be operated by the company’s American affiliate, the company said Monday.

The company is blaming a 41-per-cent drop in ridership since 2010.

So what happens now?

Claire Trevena, Minis-

ter of Transportation and Infrastructure, recognized the importance of the issue in a statement: “Greyhound’s decision to completely eliminate service in Western Canada by Oct. 31, 2018, is hugely problematic for people who depend on Greyhound in the Interior, Sea-to-Sky, and to get to and from Alberta.

This move will leave people with limited options to get around, and this will likely impact the most vulnerable … In the weeks and months

ahead, I will be sitting down with other service providers, the private sector and local government to discuss how we can ensure people have access to safe, reliable and affordable transportation to get from one community to the next. In the meantime, I hope that other local, private operators will see an opportunity to bring a badly needed service to the parts of the province most affected by Greyhound’s decision.”

Unfortunately, when

Greyhound scaled back much of its northern service previously, no other private operator stepped in to fill the void.

This brings into doubt the likelihood of a private company starting up a new service, which would mean the province will have to look at starting up its own service.

Something has to be done. Keeping our province connected is too important to ignore.

Threats won’t be tolerated It only took seven weeks on the job as editor of the Burnaby NOW to ban someone from our newspaper’s Facebook page.

The optimist in me thought it would take longer.

Silly me and my weird faith in humanity.

I’m not naïve. I know there are terrible things posted on social media, but to actually ban someone was an act I figured would be harder to reach because so many of our readers are thoughtful, intelligent and respectful.

I don’t take such things lightly. I believe in free speech, have a thick skin, and am tolerant of different points of view. I’ve had a lot of vitriol tossed my way during the past 28 years in newspapers for stories and opinion pieces I’ve written.

But that’s the key – in those cases the vitriol was thrown my way through phone calls, emails, or even in person.

On our paper’s Facebook page, however, comments posted are often aimed at the people in our stories or who have responded to pieces we have posted.

And when threats are thrown their way, that’s when I have to step in and take action.

The threats in question were posted in response to recent stories about Kinder Morgan protests.Yeah, I know, not exactly shocking.

This topic inspires the kind of white-hot hatred that would melt the heat panels on the space shuttle.

People responding to the story about the protest-

ers who hung off the side of the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge, plus those arrested recently at the Burnaby Mountain tank farm, were warned several times that insults, bullying and threats would not be tolerated.

It’s silly that we had to keep doing that. Like when I would warn my young daughter not to touch the hot iron because it would burn her.You’d think adults wouldn’t need to be told not to threaten other people. And yet, that wasn’t enough for one guy. He kept upping the ante with increasingly aggressive comments until he decided to say protesters should be “napalmed” for their actions.

That’s when I pulled the plug on him.

Look, it has nothing to do with politics. I know some readers think our editorial stance is against the pipeline (FYI: other readers think we’re in Kinder Morgan’s pocket – people see what they want to see), but if he was saying the same thing about pipeline supporters I would have still banned him.

Many publications are no longer allowing commenting on their online stories because the level of discourse has gone swimming in a sewer.

NOW readers can comment on stories on our Facebook page as long as they don’t resort to namecalling and threats.

It’s not complicated. Act like adults and you’ll be treated like adults.

‘Non-market’ housing doesn’t help everyone Editor: Re: Burnaby council takes a new approach to housing, NOW, June 28, 2018 An open letter to Coun. Colleen Jordan: I hope Burnaby council’s declared intention to include more non-market rentals in Metrotown redevelopments is only the prelude to a comprehensive review of Burnaby’s approach to housing.

Reality is the vast majority of Metrotown’s demovicted households are lower-income market renters. Those households do not qualify for nonmarket housing, nor can they afford Metrotown’s secondary condominium rental market. Rents in the new condo towers approach $24,000 per year for one bedroom. In contrast, Burnaby’s median renter household income is $45,839, according to the Housing Data Handbook 2018. That the median income of Metrotown’s demovicted households is much lower stands to reason.

Those households will continue to be squeezed out from Burnaby as we tear down exactly the kind of housing they need.

No amount of subsidies by the provincial government can close the rental affordability chasm that Burnaby’s condo-centric approach to housing continues to widen. The city’s Rental Housing Summary 2017 suggests that Burnaby’s housing supply under construction or under rezoning favors condo units over purpose-built rental units (market and non-market) by a ratio of 11 to 1. This excessive commodification of housing just cannot work for Burnaby’s own average Joe. In light of this lopsided condo-centric approach

We’re your ideal kind of people.

to housing, the question arises whether Burnaby’s housing strategy is indeed primarily motivated by social needs, or, perhaps, by Burnaby’s condo development capacity in its four town centres.

The latter view is reinforced by the fact that city planning does not substantiate their growth projection of 125,000 people over 30 years with a meaningful, socially motivated housing needs analysis. Their technical growth presentation in the Burnaby Housing Profile 2016 is meaningless by any statistical standard.

If Burnaby council truly wants to take a new approach to housing, they have to start refocusing on the needs of people they call constituents.

More laneway housing needed in Burnaby Editor: I read with great interest the recent article, City pitches new housing strategy in the June 29 issue of the Burnaby NOW. I would like to remind Burnaby citizens and those seeking re-election or running for office that a complete housing strategy for Burnaby also addresses the need for laneway homes.

In the Burnaby NOW dated Sept. 15, 2017, I was interviewed and placed on the front page in regards to the importance of having laneway homes in Burnaby. I would like to remind readers that my team collected over 400 signatures, which were presented to Burnaby council later that year. I invite those who are running for office to comment publicly on this pressing need in our district.

Burnaby Board of Trade still opposed to new payroll tax New details don’t go far enough to address business concerns

Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby Board of Trade says new details released last week about the new employer health tax don’t go far enough to address business owners’ concerns.

The employer health tax was announced in February as part of the 2018 budget.

The tax is set to be introduced in 2019 and is part of the provincial government’s plan to do away with Medical Services Plan premiums.

Last week, the province announced new details about the new tax, including information on rates, calculations and scheduling, as well as payroll definitions and thresholds.

But the details weren’t enough to convince the Burnaby Board of Trade to stop opposing the tax, according to the board’s president and CEO Paul Hold-

en. tions it felt would minimize “There are a couple of impact on businesses. encouraging aspects from The recommendations init.We do remain concerned clude delaying implemenabout it though and do con- tation of the new tax; raistinue to oppose it,” he told ing the payroll exemption the NOW. threshold; and Holden said linking annual he was happy to increases to the see more inforpayroll tax to the mation about the consumer price $500,000 payroll index. threshold and While the that the governpayroll exempment has contion threshfirmed that any old has been inpayroll amount creased to $1.5 up to $500,000 million for nonwould be exempt profits, the govfrom the tax. ernment has This is one of the Paul Holden not made any things the board BBOT president, CEO plans to increase of trade had been the threshpushing for, he added. old for businesses beyond When the employ$500,000. er health tax was first anThis worries Holden, who nounced, the board of trade said most small to medium released a report addressbusinesses would likely be ing concerns its members paying. had with the new tax and “For most organizations, included four recommenda- that’s going to equate to sev-

en, eight, maybe nine people, which is not, by any definition, big business, so it doesn’t take a lot to get to that level,” he said.

The board of trade would like to see the threshold to be raised to the $1 million mark or more to be more in line with provinces like Manitoba and Newfoundland.

The board would also like to see the province implement the new tax in January 2020, when the government plans to cut MSP premiums.

Until these recommendations are adopted, Holden said the board will continue to oppose the new tax on behalf of its members.

“This is challenging for business, with real estate and minimum wage increase and many other things, and so to be putting on another thing on businesses is something we’re not happy with,” he said.

CRIME

Metrotown lab busted Two Burnaby men have been arrested in connection with a suspected drug lab taken down in Metrotown last month.

Coquitlam RCMP identified a suspected fentanyl trafficking ring operating in the Coquitlam area in late 2017, according to a police press release.

After an investigation, officers executed search warrants at two Burnaby locations and one location in Port Coquitlam on June 29.

“With the assistance of the RCMP Federal Clandestine Laboratory Enforcement and Response Team and the Burnaby RCMP, the suspected opioid lab was located and dis-

mantled in the 6500 block of Nelson Avenue, Burnaby, while bulk chemicals were located and seized in Port Coquitlam,” stated the RCMP release.

Experts at Health Canada are now evaluating the volume of illicit drugs the lab could have produced in a day, police said.

A 35-year-old Burnaby man now faces potential charges related to drug trafficking and has been released pending a full report to the Crown.

A second, 26-year-old Burnaby man is in custody after having his parole revoked. He also faces new potential charges related to drug trafficking.

House hit as shots fired Police are investigating shots fired near the Burnaby-Vancouver border early Wednesday morning.

Burnaby RCMP say they got multiple calls from the 5200 block of Smith Avenue just before 4 a.m.

Officers arrived to find evidence shots had been fired, including some that hit a residence, according to police.

No one was injured.

The incident is still under investigation, but police are treating it as an isolated event and say there is no threat to public safety.

City now DEVELOPMENT

City nears permits record Burnaby on track to hand out permits worth an estimated $1.4 billion Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Burnaby’s feverish pace of development is set to smash a billion-dollar record set last year.

The city granted $1 billion in building permits in 2017, breaking its 2015 record of $879 million. By the end of June, only halfway through 2018, the city had already handed out 786 permits with a total value of $704 million – putting it on track to hit $1.4 billion in by year’s end.

“Looking at the figures, it looks like we are heading for another record year,” said Coun. Pietro Calendino at Monday’s council meeting.

“So that’s good news and it outdoes, by far, the Kinder Morgan project.”

Much of the construction is concentrated in the city’s four town centres – Brentwood, Lougheed, Edmonds and Metrotown.

The Metrotown Downtown Plan, adopted by

council in 2016, calls for mass densification in the area surrounding the Metropolis at Metrotown mall.

Council has since given the greenlight for many developers to bulldoze lowrise rental apartment buildings to make room for highrise condo towers in the area.

The strategy has drawn harsh criticism from citi-

zens and advocacy groups, who say Mayor Derek Corrigan and city council is allowing for the displacement of some of Burnaby’s most vulnerable low-income residents.

Burnaby saw a net loss of 712 rental units between 2010 and 2017, while much of Metro Vancouver saw increases, according to

the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.

The towers erected to replace those rentals are providing much-needed new homes, according to Corrigan.

He said the new construction is needed to keep pace with Burnaby’s obligation to welcome new residents under Metro Vancouver’s Regional Growth Strategy 2011 agreement between the region’s municipalities.

The plan anticipates an annual population growth of 25,000 to 30,000.

“So as much as we make, people are coming in at an even more rapid rate and if we don’t house them in places like Burnaby, it means they’re moving out to the valley and occupying probably agricultural land in the future,” Corrigan said.

“So it’s a tough set of compromises to accommodate all those people coming here – but we invited the world and they’re coming.”

Entertainment now ONLINE SENSATION

Burnaby singer gets Mariah Carey’s attention Stephen Scaccia is still reeling fromYou Sang My Song video Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

Yes, he really was that excited.

There’s nothing faked in Stephen Scaccia’s over-thetop reaction in a now-viral video, in the moment he realizes he’s watching Mariah Carey watching him sing a Mariah Carey song. His musical hero watching him sing her song, Hero?

Mind.

Blown.

Scaccia is a 26-year-old Burnaby crooner who’s made his name as a favourite local entertainer, following in the footsteps of his idol, Michael Bublé.You’ve likely seen him perform around town at a festival or special event.

These days, he’s also something of aYouTube sensation, after Glamour magazine found him online and tracked him down to take part in their online series,You Sang My Song.

The video series takes a different celebrity each episode and films them watching a variety of fans doing covers of their songs, then shows the fan singers reacting to the celebrity’s reaction.

Scaccia didn’t know he was taking part in that show.

In fact, he doesn’t know how Glamour happened to stumble across his video, since it had been onYouTube for about a year-anda-half before he got a Facebook message out of the blue from a Glamour staffer.

They asked him if he’d be willing to do a Skype interview talking about why he chose Hero and what the song meant to him.

He said sure.

“I am a huge Mariah fan. I think she’s probably the singer I look up to the most, and have since I was a child,” he says. “That song is an inspirational song for me. It has allowed me to draw from inner strength.”

He had plenty to say about Hero, which he says has always spoken to his own path in life.The lyrics in the bridge – “Dreams are hard to follow, but don't let anyone tear them away” – just speak volumes to him about his own path in life

RISING STAR: Above, Burnaby crooner Stephen Scaccia, 26, is well known in the city (you’ve probably seen him perform at a festival or special event), but more recently, Scaccia has become something of a YouTube sensation after Glamour magazine tracked him down to appear in their online series, You Sang My Song. Below, Stephen Scaccia watches Mariah Carey watching him in a screenshot from Glamour magazine’s You Sang My Song. Scaccia covered Hero by Carey. PHOTO (ABOVE) NOW FILES, CONTRIBUTED PHOTO (BELOW) SCREENSHOT, GLAMOUR MAGAZINE YOU SANG MY SONG

and his decision to follow a music career.

“It seems cheesy and it seems cliché, but it’s absolutely relevant to what’s going on in my life,” he says.

He was sharing some of his thoughts about Hero with the interviewer over Skype when they told him they were sending him a link to a video and asked him to watch it while they kept recording.

Which is when he saw Carey watching him sing.

And smiling. And commenting on his version of her song. (For the record, she liked it.)

“I was absolutely dumbstruck. I had no idea what was happening,” Scaccia says. “It still sort of feels not real.”

He’s taken a lot of goodnatured teasing for his reaction – which is, by turns, overwhelmed, emotional, giddy and more than a little gushing. His partner even took a screenshot from the video and uploaded it to Instagram.

Scaccia can laugh right along with them – he’s the first to admit he was dumbfounded by the experience – but says he’s gotten a lot of support since it happened, not just from family and friends but from fans

who saw the Glamour magazine video and found Scaccia’sYouTube channel from there.

“I'm here from the Mariah Carey video and I'm now on a Stephen marathon after midnight when I have a meeting tomorrow,” wrote one of Scaccia’s new fans.

His subscriber numbers andYouTube video views have been going up since the experience.

At the same time, another of Scaccia’s video projects – a duet with Nikita Afonso that’s a mash-up of greatest hits of the past 20 years of music in five minutes – has also been getting huge traction.TheYouTube video has now surpassed 300,000 views, and Facebook shares have passed a million.

It was a video they worked on with Randy Chang of theYouTube channel TheSafehouseProject, filmed in Steveston in March in an empty school playground on a snowy weekend.

“It ended up being, I thought, a really cool shoot,” Scaccia says.

What he loves about his YouTube work is the way it makes him accessible to fans around the world.The music industry has changed so much, he says, point-

ing out that artists can become stars without even being signed to a record label (Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, anyone?).

Though fame isn’t really one of his end goals, he does want to get his music out to as many people as possible.

He wants to keep writing and releasing his own music and touring, with the hope that eventually he will get signed by a label.

“I want to be heard. Ideally, the more people who hear me, the better,” he says, noting that social me-

dia makes that possible in a way it never was before.

So he’ll continue working on hisYouTube channel over the summer, even as live gig season kicks into high gear (and working around his day job in the City of Burnaby’s parks, recreation and culture department). He just sang at Italian Day on Commercial Drive. He’ll also be appearing at a couple of major events in Burnaby this summer including the RCMP Musical Ride at Swangard Stadium in August.

And as much as he loves the chance to share his talents live, he finds something particularly rewarding about hisYouTube work.

“My presence on social media is (a) what makes me the happiest and (b) what brings me the most success,” he says. “It is THE most fun I’ve had with music in a long time.”

Should parents pay a fine if they don’t vaccinate their children?

GROUNDED

Bianca Bujan

When something goes awry with my children, I don’t put my trust in “Dr. Google” or try to remedy the issue myself. I go straight to the source that I trust the most – my own family physician.

When I’ve received reminder calls, notifying me that it’s time to vaccinate one of my children, I’ve willingly booked the appointment. Sure, I’ve asked questions and have expressed concerns about the ever-evolving immunization schedules over the past 11 years that I’ve been a parent, but my doctor has always answered honestly, doing her best to explain the reasons behind the changes and the purpose of each series of shots.

Perhaps it’s the result of my trusting relationship with my own health-care professional, but I’ve never fully understood why some

parents have been so hesitant, or completely against the vaccination process.

Last year, Health Canada conducted a nationwide survey titled “Survey for the Development of the Childhood Vaccination Campaign,” hoping to uncover the current state of awareness, knowledge, attitudes, beliefs and behaviours of parents and expectant parents with respect to childhood vaccinations.

While the survey found only five per cent of Canadian parents had “low trust” when it came to vaccinations, the number spiked to 13 per cent for parents in B.C. While Canadian parents have been left to decide whether or not to vaccinate their children, other countries have implemented strict measures against parents who refuse to immunize their kids.

In a news release announcing new rules by the Australian government effective July 1, tougher “No jab, no pay” rules have officially been en-

forced, emphasizing the message that “immunization is the safest way to protect children from vaccine-preventable diseases,” and that “parents who don’t immunize their children are putting their own kids at risk as well as the children of other people.”

To penalize those parents who choose not to vaccinate, a loss in family support payments will occur, equalling the sum of $28 a fortnight for each child who does not meet immunization requirements.The thought behind this change, is that this altered “No jab, no pay” rule will act as a constant reminder to parents to keep their child’s immunization records up to date, or they will literally pay for their decision.

Italy and France have also made several vaccinations mandatory, and some U.S. states require students to have up-to-date vaccinations before school enrolment, limiting exemptions to those who are unable to vaccinate due to medical or

religious reasons.

While Ontario and New Brunswick also require vaccination records upon registration for school, there are currently no official country-wide rules in place here in Canada.

If the health reports and urging of medical professionals don’t persuade parents to give vaccinations a shot, I doubt a minimal decrease in family funding will do the trick, but a change is definitely needed. I don’t think penalties are the answer, but more needs to be done to persuade parents to get on board. More testing, as well as increased education and awareness on the issues surrounding childhood immunizations – emphasizing not only the benefits, but the impact that the decision not to vaccinate has on the children of others – is definitely needed if we want to secure a healthier future for our kids.

Professor completes his walk around the world Lauren Boothby

lboothby@burnabynow.com

A 68-year-old Burnaby professor has walked more than 40,000 kilometres on his daily commutes since 2002 – a distance measuring the circumference of the earth.

Andrew Rawicz, an engineering science professor at Simon Fraser University, marked the final step of his journey at the end of June. Rawicz makes the fivekilometre trek to and from his SFU office nearly every day, up a trail off Hastings Street, across Centennial Park, and then along the university ring road.

“I didn’t plan to encircle the earth. I simply started walking because I thought it was healthier,” he told the NOW. The 46-minute trip gives him energy for the day, he said, and saves him money he would otherwise have spent on gas and parking.

He multitasks on his walk too, carrying a set of small resistant elastics to exercise his upper body on his

downhill walk home. He also listens to the radio to improve his English.

Weather is no deterrent, either.

Rain, snow or shine, Rawicz makes his trip through the forests, watching how the weather changes the scenery and the wildlife he encounters.

“I walk exactly the same

… this kind of behaviour stops aging. way, but the environment changes, different animals show up from time to time,” he said. “It’s very refreshing, I would say. It’s waking up.”

Some of his encounters with wildlife have been especially memorable. He once passed a mother bear with cubs, and regularly sees deer, which he says are “polite,” as well as coyotes and woodpeckers.

Rawicz, who has been lifting weights since he was 16

and once worked as a lumberjack in Belgium, says the workout makes him more alert and efficient at work.

He also hopes his accomplishment can inspire others to be active, and benefit both physically and mentally from this kind of regular exercise.

At SFU, he already has.

He’s inspired some of his colleagues to walk or bike to work.

“If we would use this situation … to somehow motivate and inspire more people to do the same, I think that this would be already an accomplishment of much higher value, because that way we could save the healthcare system in B.C.,” he said.

“Quite frankly, I think that this kind of behaviour stops aging, I hope.”

Rawicz says he will continue his regular hiking for the next few years, but right now he is focusing on flying lessons, and soon hopes to get his pilot’s licence. He’s also working with a startup company on creating a new medical device.

Going the distance: SFU engineering science professor Andrew Rawicz has finished walking more than 40,000 kilometres, a distance equalling the circumference of the earth. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Communitynow AT THE FAIR

Marketplace in new hands

HOMFRAY LODGE • DESOLATION SOUND QUADRA ISLAND • TSA KWA LUTEN

The Edmonds City Fair is all about celebrating the local community, but it also has an international flair.

The International Village, previously run by volunteers from Burnaby Neighbourhood House, is becoming the International Marketplace in 2018.

Edmonds City Fair organizers are running the show this year, inviting members of the many cultures that make up Edmonds to get involved.

“Burnaby Neighbourhood House used to sort of oversee it, but they’re no longer able to take that on. So we decided to see if that was a viable thing for our organizing committee to do,” organizer Jim McQueen said. “We started thinking that Edmonds is such a diverse neighbourhood and that kind of stuff with a lot of different cultures, so we thought why not get the different countries to showcase their foods and crafts.

“So we decided that this year we’d go ahead and give that a try and see what interest there was in it.”

Thus far, organizers only have four groups participating this year, but they hope word will spread.

“We have four confirmed groups – three from the Mediterranean

and one from Russia and Ukraine.That’s a good starting point,” he said.

“I’m hoping when people come and see we’re offering this venue for showcasing your country, that we’ll get more interest next year.

We’re such a diverse neighbourhood here and I find people really love to tell about their countries.”

The marketplace will be comprised of food and crafts, McQueen said, adding he hopes it’ll expand to include many groups in years to come.

“I think if people come and see that it’s starting, and they’ll start talking amongst their different ethnic groups and say, ‘oh, we could do that,’ and come and show people what is from their country,” he said. “I would like to see it expand and represent all the different groups in Edmonds and show what a diverse community we are, and educate the people in Edmonds about all the people that are here.”

The fair, which stretches down Edmonds Street between Canada Way and Kingsway, takes place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. this Sunday.The International Marketplace will be located near the fire hall.

Four Burnaby-based nonprofits are the real winners of the Burnaby Board of Trade’s membership drive last month.

The annual competition pits four teams against one another to see who can sign up the most new members for the board of trade. For every new member brought in, the board of trade donates $100 to the team’s partner non-profit.

This year’s drive raised $9,300 for Canada Scores Vancouver, Burnaby Neigh-

bourhood House, Burnaby Community Services and Charlford House, according to the Burnaby Board of Trade.

In all 62 new members were signed up, with the blue team, led by NOW publisher Lara Graham, coming in first place by registering 21 new members.

For coming in first place, the board of trade donated an extra $50 per new member to the team’s partner non-profit – Burnaby Community Services.

“My favorite part is seeing our regular guests happy.”

Not only is Troy a Special Olympics champion, he’s a champion of his community, too. Troy has won gold medals in powerlifting and track & field. Working at Tim Hortons has helped him build the confidence that he credits with his athletic success. Now Troy tries to give back to his community by doing the little things, like holding the door open for customers and putting smiles on people’s faces. Not only does Troy love the food he serves, he loves the people he serves it to as well.

Thank you, Troy. And thanks to all those who make our community stronger.

To share the story of one of the greatest storytelling figures in the history of literature, it takes an orchestra – an orchestra comprised solely of women – and a sitarist.

The Allegra Chamber Orchestra is performing Songs for Scheherazade as the closing concert of the Indian Summer Festival, taking place throughout the Greater Vancouver area until July 16. Joining them is acclaimed sitar player Mohamed Assani.

“We worked together before with the Vancouver Inter-Cultural Orchestra,” said Janna Sailor, founding director, violinist and conductor of Allegra Chamber Orchestra. “But this has been our first time together creating our own project, so that’s been kind of neat.

“It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, collaborate violin and sitar,” she added. “It’s just like a whole other musical language. It’s really been a fascinating process to dive a little bit deeper and actually work within that medium and experiment with those colours and see what

we can come up with when you combine, you know, his musical language and background with traditional, Western classical musical idioms and language.”

The concert will include a smaller version of the orchestra, with a cross section of musicians, according to Sailor.

“Then we also have our composer in residence, Elizabeth Knudson, who is a rising star in the Canadian compositional world,” she said. “She has been studying sitar with Mohamed for the past couple of years.

“She was just dying to write a piece for sitar and orchestra, because there’s very little as far as the repertoire goes for that combination,” she added.

And finally, soprano Heather Pawsey will be singing solo pieces between the orchestral pieces.

“There’s some of these myths and legends that feature women prominently but we don’t hear from the women themselves, so basically that’s her role as a narrator to bring it all together in a really organic way but also from a different perspective,” Sailor said.

The festival is focused on mythmaking this year,

which is why Allegra chose Scheherazade as their focus.

“Even though she was this mythic character she seemed to be burned into our memories as the storyteller of Arabian nights and Ali Baba, and all these major myths from that part of the world,” Sailor said. “We thought it would be interesting to pay tribute to her once again from the female perspective.”

The concert will be held in the gardens of the Ismaili Centre in Burnaby at 4010 Canada Way on Sunday, July 15.The event will begin with a high tea.

“I feel like the venue will become part of the performance in a way.We’ll be out there underneath the dome and the impeccably groomed beautiful geometric shapes of the Islamic garden there,” Sailor said, “and I think that kind of puts it more into context of the historic beauty we’re referring to and the culture that a lot of the things we’re referring to come from, and respecting and honouring that as well as bringing it into the modern day.”

Burnaby’s Bilic glad to be back in Laker green

Championship runs in the NLL gives Burnaby some valuable experience to draw from Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Winning is a hard habit to break.

But Burnaby’s Nik Bilic also knows that you can’t take it for granted.

A member of the Burnaby Lakers, he’s eagerly looking forward to a big playoff game on the Copeland Arena floor next month, but knows that rival teams are aiming to knock the defending Western Lacrosse Association regular season champions off that pedestal.

Every time we hit the floor we’re getting better together.

Bilic feels good about the team and its chances. And he knows something about winning.

“We’ve got a young team.

I think we’re turning heads in the league by taking the first and second place teams to overtime this past week,” said Bilic, prior to Tuesday’s one-sided win over Coquitlam. “There are a lot of positives from the games but a lot of learning to do.

I’m happy with the group we have and we’ve come a long way in the time I’ve been here.”

Bilic has brought valuable leadership to the floor for a club that struggled to start the season but has flipped the page and added a handful of newcomers over the

past month. In Tuesday’s tilt against last-place Coquitlam, Bilic scored twice as the Lakers rebounded from two overtime losses, trouncing the Adanacs 14-4.

His winning pedigree, like that of team leader Robert Church, stems from seasons with the National Lacrosse League’s Saskatchewan Rush, which has won three of the last four NLL championships – the first as the Edmonton Rush.

“It never gets old, winning,” he said with a grin.

“The group we have in Saskatchewan has been together so long, but it may get broken up with (the NLL expansion draft this week).

It’s been a helluva ride with those guys and we’re looking to continue and keep up the success next year.”

That championship feeling stretches back to when he was traded by Burnaby’s junior team – in 2010, to the Coquitlam junior Adanacs – and joined Church for a Minto Cup title. Now he’s hoping to help transfer a bit of that winning mojo here at home.

“In 2009 (the junior Lakers) had a great run, losing to Coquitlam in the semifinals and they ended up going to the Minto Cup.The following year we didn’t have a competitive team and I ended up traded to Coquitlam … (The Adanacs were) probably one of the best junior teams assembled. It was a lot of fun and a great learning experience for me,” he said.

Growing up in Burnaby and watching the powerhouse Lakers program that

dominated the junior circuit in the early 2000s was an inspiration.

After eight years playing elsewhere, including with the Langley Thunder, the WLA team that drafted him, he is happy to have the opportunity to wear the green and white again.

His family is happy to be able to see him, and he has one fan who is showing her support proudly.

A trio of skaters from Burnaby’s Champs International Skating Centre were tagged this week to represent Canada at the 2018 Skate Milwaukee competition, which concludes on Sunday.

Skate Canada selected 15 skaters for 13 events to compete at

“My little cousin Alexandra just signed up with Burnaby minor (lacrosse) so it’s pretty cool for her to come to the game and see me wearing the same jersey as her. It makes her happy and proud,” he said.

Bilic’s rights were acquired in 2017 from Langley, but a knee injury suffered during the NLL season cost him that league’s playoffs and the

the first of three competitions, designed to introduce novice skaters to international-level meets.

Canadian pre-novice champion Melodie Zhu, 13, will make the jump to novice for the Milwaukee event. She established a new national record for wom-

summer box season.The knee is 100 per cent now, and his enthusiasm to play is fueling some big hopes for the playoff run.The Lakers sit one-point back of fourth place Nanaimo, but with a game-in hand and six games remaining.

“We’re just looking to make the playoffs because that’s where anything can happen,” said Bilic. “We’re just pushing to make that

From Burnaby, Shuma Mugii will skate in the novice men’s competition. At the 2018 Canadian Tire national skating championships Mugii finished 11th over-

third, fourth or any spot we can grab and continue improving every single game.

Every time we hit the floor we’re getting better together.These younger guys are learning quick, so we’re going to be scary come playoff time.”

Burnaby hosts Victoria on Friday (7:30 p.m. at the Bill Copeland Arena). On Saturday they visit Nanaimo for a big game.

Emma Szeto was also chosen for the competition.The 13-yearold finished 14th at the national pre-novice competition last year.

All three are coached by Burnaby’s Joanne McLeod.

Striders garner medals at Craven meet Max Mazziotti, Shiloh Corrales-Nelson and Ava Jackson delivered some well-deserved hardware for the Burnaby Striders track and field club last week.

The trio represented the club at the Norwesters’Trevor Craven Memorial track and field meet at Swangard Stadium.

Mazziotti collected gold in the 10-year-old boys javelin event, and added silver in the long jump. He also finished fourth in the 60-metre dash.

Corrales-Nelson would score three silver in the girls 16-17 division – in discus, shotput and hammerthrow. Jackson, meanwhile, counted a pair of silver medals with second-place results in the 200- and 300m races in the 13-year-old girls division.

Also picking up medals were Sean Lee, with silver in the 200m and bronze in the 100m, of the boys 18-19 division, Brandon Hsu, with double bronze in the 100- and 200m events in the 14-15 division, and Marisa Mazziotti, who finished second in the girls 13-year-old division’s long jump.

Both Katelyn Malmquist and Joe Georgilas placed fifth in the 200m and javelin, respectively.

Lake rowers make national u23 squad Two members of the Burnaby Lake Rowing Club were among those named to the Canadian under-23 women’s eight team that will be competing at the World rowing u-23 championships later this month in Poland.

Stephanie Grauer and Madison Mailey, both two-time members with the u23 squad, will be rowing for Canada and setting their sights on gold at the world championships.

Grauer, who attends Stanford University on a rowing scholarship, built up her rowing resume over countless hours on Burnaby Lake.This past year she was picked as a first team All-American by the Collegiate Rowing Coaches Association.

She was part of Canada’s gold medal win at the u23 world championships in 2017 in Bulgaria.

Invited to the 2014 junior national camp first in 2014, Grauer was selected to the national junior squad after winning the women’s single sculls in 2015.

Mailey is a student/athlete at Northeastern University where she’s competed at three consecutive NCAA championships. Prior to heading to university, the former Burnaby Lake rower debuted with the Canadian junior national team in 2013.
