Cop injured in hit-andrun incident Burnaby RCMP are looking for a man in his 20s suspected of injuring a Mountie in a hit-and-run Tuesday. The officer was conducting distracted driving enforcement at Royal Oak Avenue and Oakland Street at about 3:20 p.m., when he approached a grey 20002004 Mercedes Benz SUV and asked the driver to produce his driver’s licence, according to an RCMP press release. The driver sped away from the intersection, police said, but the officer’s hand got caught and he was thrown to the ground.The officer was taken to hospital and treated for minor injuries.The suspect driver is described as a white man in his early 20s with mediumlength blonde hair. Police believe the plates on the suspect SUV are from Washington State. Anyone who was driving in the area of Royal Oak Avenue and Oakland Street between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. and may have dashcam video of the incident is asked to call Burnaby RCMP at 604646-9999. To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or solvecrime.ca. This is the second Burnaby RCMP officer injured in a hit-and-run in the past few months.

SAFE CROSSING: Crossing guards help students cross Gilmore Avenue by Kitchener Elementary in Burnaby.

Tween crossing guards with stop signs will soon have a flashing light to help them stop a growing number of vehicles zipping past their Burnaby elementary school every morning and afternoon. Parents and students from Kitchener Elementary School came to a public safety committee meeting in May to raise safety concerns about speeding, close calls and vehicles not stopping for kids crossing on the crosswalk on Gilmore Avenue in front of the school. “We’re noticing, with all the increased densification and all the condos and ev-

erything, a lot more commuter traffic going through; people are speeding through our street,” parent advisory council chair Tracey Mayede-Lok told the NOW. The Kitchener delegation called on the city to improve the crosswalk with on-road crosswalk markings, overhead lighting and a pedestrian-controlled signal.They also suggested the city put up speed readers and sidewalks with a curb. “The students are standing on gravel,” Mayede-Lok said. Past reviews indicate a pedestrian signal isn’t warranted in front of the school, according to a city engineering report complet-

ed this month, but the city has decided to install rectangular rapid flashing beacons at the crosswalk in front of Kitchener by the end of the year anyway. “These have proven to be an effective and economical upgrade to existing marked crosswalks where a pedestrian signal is not warranted,” states the report. The city has also decided to add to the concrete barriers already in place along the street to prevent parents from stopping their cars in no-stopping zones and blocking sight lines while dropping off their kids. Mayede-Lok is happy the flashing lights are going in but is concerned the city isn’t planning to install

sidewalks or lights at another crosswalk leading to the school at Gilmore and William Street. “They just kind of ignored that one,” she said. “That is where we’ve almost seen accidents, with cars coming close to hitting people.” The city, however, said Gilmore by the school has been reviewed “on several occasions” in the past and a number of traffic safety measures have already been put in place, including curb bulges at Gilmore and William, adjustments to school zone signs, an oversized school zone information board, concrete barriers, pedestrian curb ramps at Gilmore and Kitchen-

er and reflective markers. “We’ve probably thrown everything we have, short of a signal, at it,” said director of engineering Doug Louie. “I’m sure we’re going to get a complaint next year too, though, but that’s OK.We can review it again.” Louie said the city would be able to do a lot more for the street when plans to redevelop nearby Willingdon Heights Park come to fruition. Since 1998, the city has been buying up the properties on the west side of the park in a long-term plan to expand and redevelop it, but the city couldn’t say when that acquisition project would be complete.

Installing two security cameras to deter crime in the 220-acre Burnaby park where 13-year-old Marrisa Shen’s body was found last summer is “an absolute joke,” according to mayoral candidate Mike Hurley. At a news conference Wednesday, Mayor Derek Corrigan and Coun. Pietro Calendino, chair of the city’s public safety committee, announced security cameras had been installed in Central Park as part of the Burnaby Citizens Association mayor and council’s “ongoing commitment to ensuring Burnaby is a safe place to live, work, learn and play.” Corrigan linked the safety measures to Shen’s death. “I want everyone to know that we came back and followed up on it,” he said. Corrigan wouldn’t tell reporters how many cameras had been installed, saying that might give criminals an advantage. According to Craig Collis, an assistant director with the city’s parks, recreation and cultural services department, however, two cameras were installed over the past week. “That’s an absolute joke,” Hurley told the NOW. “Why even bother in a park

this size? Most people have two outside their homes these days.To have a press conference because you have two cameras installed at Central Park, that’s not much of a story.” In an interview last week, Collis told the NOW the city had planned to install five cameras to start with and consider more later on. The security cameras were among six measures (municipal bike patrol, security cameras, 911 call boxes, park closures, trail

lighting and improved signage) approved in principle by the Burnaby Citizens Association mayor and council a year ago to improve safety in local parks after Shen’s murder. A number of the approved measures have yet to be put in place a year later. No call boxes have been installed, plans to install lights at Patterson Avenue, the area around Swangard Stadium and on Imperial Street have yet to come to fruition, and staff has set

aside the idea of park closures for now because enforcement issues make them unfeasible, according to Collis. When asked about the delay in installing the five initial security cameras, Collis said it takes time to get the necessary infrastructure in place, and the bike patrol had been a higher priority. “We thought that there would be better service through having actually patrollers, as in the bike patrol in the park, so that took a

priority,” he said. The city’s four bylaw officers on bikes, equipped with cellphones, have been patrolling local parks since May. But the city was without its seven-member RCMP bike squad this summer because the local detachment didn’t have enough officers for general duty work, according to Chief Supt. Deanne Burleigh, who pulled the plug on the program before the summer. The city has since agreed to fund the hiring of eight more cops this year and six more in 2019, allowing the RCMP to form a pareddown, four-member bike patrol. The 14 new officers will be the first new officers the city has added since 2008. Corrigan was unabashed when asked about the timing of the announcement about the security cameras (less than a month before the municipal election and less than two weeks after 28-year-old Ibrahim Ali was charged with Shen’s murder). “Well, because there’s an election coming up, so quite clearly I’m making announcements that show people why they should come back and vote for me, vote for the councillors and school board,” he said at the news conference.

In an interview with the NOW, Corrigan said installing the two cameras and establishing the bike patrol were “key elements” to improving safety in the park but acknowledged there is still work to do. “I haven’t lived up to all of our promises, and I think we’ve been pretty clear about that,” he said. “There are other things to do, and we’ve been very transparent about saying we’re continuing to do those things.” Hurley also criticized the security camera project because the cameras will not be monitored in real time. The footage they record will be stored for a time (the city wouldn’t say how long) and then deleted unless the city or police get a complaint. Corrigan said monitoring the cameras would be very expensive and an undue invasion of parkgoers’ privacy. Hurley disagreed. “If you’re going to have cameras in our parks, let’s monitor them,” he told the NOW. “If there’s nothing wrong going on in the park, I don’t see why anyone should have an issue with being monitored. It’s a safety issue, and the safety issues to me override the privacy issue, given what’s been going on in the park.”

Residents upset as BC Hydro brings in the chainsaws Kelvin Gawley

Michael Schmidt suspects a great horned owl is to blame for the sudden disappearance of his pet cat. He first blamed coyotes in the area around his home at the base of Burnaby Mountain, but when he later saw the bird surveilling the area, he figured he’d found the culprit. “I guess that’s life,” he says of his cat’s untimely demise. But when a chainsaw and an industrial brush-clearing machine came for the owl’s habitat, Schmidt didn’t hesitate to defend the “fantastic” animals. About three weeks ago, Schmidt said he ran out behind his Beaverbrook Crescent strata complex when he heard the machines levelling brush and trees around the perimeter of BC Hydro’s Barnard substation. He saw two men method-

ically clearing a slope outside the facility’s fence. “They want to completely level it,” he said. When he explained to the two workers that the slope was a riparian area that fed water into a sensitive salmon-bearing creek, they stopped, he said, but not before clearing a couple dozen metres of brush and trees. Since that day three weeks ago, Schmidt said the saws have not returned, but he still worries for the sensitive environment near his home of 26 years. He acknowledged BC Hydro has made some efforts to mitigate the effect construction of a new indoor switchgear station at Barnard will have on the local environment. He does not quibble with a report from SNC Lavalin that found clearing the slope of flora will not result in increased sediment – a threat to young fish – in Stoney Creek.

But that’s because any water flowing down is planned to be diverted into storm drains, which, he said, would mean less water

for fish and pose a threat of its own. “I think it’s important to protect the creek,” Schmidt said.

He said B.C. Hydro should put the local environment ahead of whatever reasons it has for clearing the area.

The fish and birds must come first, he said while showing a picture he took this summer of a barred owl roosting in one of the trees set to be felled. “They’re rat hunters, so we don’t want to lose that,” he said. BC Hydro, however, claims there will be “no harmful impacts to fish habitat from the maintenance of the perimeter drainage ditch.” “We are committed to protecting the environment – and our environmental management systems are based on leading industry practice,” spokesperson Kevin Aquino wrote in an email. “BC Hydro is following best practices to protect downstream fish habitat.” He said the work is being done to “restore and assess the culverts” and “restore the ditch capacity to ensure proper drainage of the substation site.”

es for renters,” Horgan said. “Our new approach strikes a balance between giving relief to renters while encouraging people to maintain their rental properties.” David Hutniak, CEO of LandlordBC, said a decrease in the allowable rent increase presents several problems, including the cost and hassle for a landlord to apply for an additional rent increase and the chill it would put on the de-

velopment industry interested in building purpose-built rental buildings. He added that landlords might also consider taking suites off the market and listing them on home-sharing platforms such as Airbnb. “We can work within the context of the current rent control formula.We’ve had it for a while, we’ve adjusted to it, even though there’s issues to it – whatever, at least there’s a certain predictabil-

ity to it that we’ve built in to our business models.” Last week, LandlordBC issued a news release saying that even at 4.5 per cent the rent increase would not be enough to cover costs landlords face in renting one or more suites. The association conducted a recent analysis of the costs – including property taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance – to operate a 1970s-era mid-sized building in Metro Vancouver. It found operating costs increased at the building 7.6 per cent per annum between 2009 and 2018, surpassing allowable rent increases. “We recognize that supply is key to bringing down rental costs in the long term,” Robinson said. “But renters have told us that they are hurting and they need help today.” She added the new formula eases pressure on renters while also giving landlords the “tools they

need to continue to invest in their rental properties.” Liam McClure, a steering committee member of the Vancouver Tenants’ Union, said Monday the task force’s recommendations are a step in the right direction. But, he said, the union doesn’t believe the task force has gone far enough and should adopt a temporary rent freeze like New York City did between 2015 and 2017. He added that many landlords have made enormous profits from renters over the years. “It’s not up to the government to assist landlords in running their business,” he said. “If a landlord doesn’t have a long-term capital plan to account for necessary maintenance, that’s sort of their problem.The tenants shouldn’t be bearing the burden of a landlord’s inability to manage their own enterprise.”

Opinion now OUR VIEW

More help is needed than just reducing rent hikes

The latest recommendations from British Columbia’s Rental Housing Task Force go a long way toward striking a balance between the needs of renters and the financial requirements of landlords. Under the proposed recommendations, landlords would not be able to increase rents higher than the rate of inflation. But they can still raise rents higher if they can prove more is needed to cover maintenance and other costs.This is an important consideration for land-

lords opposed to smaller rent hikes. OnWednesday, Premier John Horgan made an announcement that he was accepting and implementing the task force’s recommendations. Currently, the rent hike formula is inflation plus two per cent, a ceiling that has been in place since 2004 and has resulted in some hefty rent increases. For example, next year, renters are facing increases of up to 4.5 per cent as the allowable rate set by the Residential Tenancy Branch;

Clearly, these kinds of rent controls need to be done in concert with a broader program. this year, it was a four per cent hike and, in 2017, landlords could boost rents by 3.7 per cent. Obviously, some landlords will not be happy with a reduction in potential increases, and many might have to review their entire business plan. It’s true this change to

the rent-control formula would be a blow to landlords because it gives them less flexibility, and possibly less incentive, to build and maintain rental accommodation. On the other hand, renters do not have access to a money tree and, it could be argued, have even less flexibility with their fi-

nances. Rents typically make up 30 to 50 per cent or more of the average salary, and average rent hikes of four per cent or more – without corresponding improvements or any justification – are not sustainable. Clearly, these kinds of rent controls need to be done in concert with a broader program to improve housing affordability, including support for coop housing, subsidies for seniors and others on fixed incomes, as well as more funds for the construction of non-market housing

for people with limited incomes. As well, the government should continue to look at tax incentives and other mechanisms to increase the number of rental apartment units in communities where rental stock may be under pressure to redevelop into condos. These rent hike guarantees will help with affordability, but they can’t be the only tool to ensure there is decent housing for people who have chosen to live and work in the Lower Mainland.

People feel left out of the political system

For the past three years, housing has consistently topped the charts as the most important issue facing most local cities. Earlier this month, 67 per cent of respondents to a Research Co. poll in the city of Vancouver said housing is the top issue facing the city. The proportion is strikingly similar in Burnaby. Just where residents place the blame for the housing crisis depends on several factors. Politically, residents may be upset with previous or past governments for perceived setbacks and evasions of responsibility. Foreign owners have also become a favourite scapegoat for many residents. But there is another group that has patently fallen out of favour with Metro Vancouverites: real estate developers. Earlier this month, only 31 per cent of Metro Vancouverites said they had a positive opinion of real estate developers, while 58 per cent outlined negative views. In stark contrast, the rating flips for building contractors, who have a positive rating of 51 per cent and a negative rating of 39 per cent. One of the issues that have played a role in the sudden loss of esteem for real estate developers is the perception of cosiness with sitting municipal administrations.This becomes clear when Metro Vancouverites are asked a simple question: who has more influence on the look and feel of your municipality? Across the Lower Mainland, only 24 per cent of residents believe their municipal government is the

deciding authority when it comes to the future of neighbourhoods. A slightly smaller proportion (22 per cent) believe the community itself has more influence. Who is regarded as the most powerful voice when it comes to how our neighbourhoods look and feel? Developers, as stated by two in five Metro Vancouverites. The public is particularly critical of the idea that the character of their municipality is being abandoned. Three in four Metro Vancouverites feel developers are too quick to demolish. The results outline two problems for incoming city councils. One is the perceived lack of consultation from members of specific communities, who may find it difficult to attend meetings or have a voice in traditional forums.The other is the feeling of powerlessness when the relationship between developers and municipal politicians is as entrenched as it is. Taking big money out of politics motivated a wide range of people to seek seats in councils all across the Lower Mainland. In this new context, the relationship of communities with the incoming councils and mayors will be crucial. Right now, people feel left out, with many looking at their serving municipal politicians as catering to the wishes of developers. It will take a change in culture, and in the way the relationship works between those who want to build and those who issue the permits, to repair this lost trust. Mario Canseco is president of Research Co.

So long, Edmonds Elementary?

The school board announced in December it would hold one of its public meetings at Edmonds Elementary to quell rumours the school was being closed.The rumours surfaced during the municipal election and stemmed from plans to close Edmonds Junior Secondary, which shared grounds, staff, a heating plant and a gym with the elementary school. Newly elected trustee Ron Burton said the board should be more directly involved with parent concerns and disagreed with a suggestion they should be directed only to parent advisory councils.

Pro rep makes sure most voters have representatives elected to public office

Need it NOW? Have it Fixed NOW!

a majority of the vote to back them up. That is surprising, but it’s true. The most recent example was the Christy Clark government, which held a comfortable 58 per cent majority in the House on the basis of 44 per cent of the popular vote. But this is not related to any one party – it’s just a built-in distortion of our current voting system. You can look up just about any past B.C. election on Wikipedia and you’ll see similar numbers. The problem is that all those governments enacted legislation based on their seat majority in the legislature, but they didn’t actually reflect the wishes of majority of the electorate. The point of the legislature is to legislate. If we don’t have fair representation, we won’t get the legislation we want. That’s why this is so important. Making sure every vote contributes to the election of a representative, i.e. switching to pro rep, means all parties are competitive in every riding. It means the seats won by each party would be a close match to their overall vote. It means there are no safe seats and no strategic voting. It also means if a party isn’t listening or goes off track, you can change your vote and it will have a meaningful effect. All of that empowers voters. So I think pro rep is a better bet. I hope you agree with me and when the referendum comes around in the next month you will mail in your ballot with a yes for pro rep. Iain Macanulty, Burnaby

Editor: Next month, starting on Oct. 22, B.C. will hold a referendum on electoral reform. I will be voting in support of proportional representation (pro rep) because it would ensure that I get an MLA I want to represent me. Of course, the idea is that every voter should get an MLA they want, and the overall effect would be a legislature that is a better representation for all of us. I’ve lived and voted in Burnaby for over 30 years, and, as often Every voter as not, my “representative” has should get an been someone I voted against. Defenders of the current system MLA they want. say that’s too bad, we can’t all be winners, somebody has to lose or better luck next time. Those arguments are weak. Why accept an obvious problem when the solution is at hand? Lots of countries use pro rep voting systems, which make sure most voters have representatives they voted for. Our system elects MLAs that are only wanted by about half the voters in each riding. In countries with pro rep, more than 90 per cent of voters are effectively represented. The side effect of this poor local representation is that the overall results don’t match the popular vote. Nearly every majority government we’ve had in B.C. since 1945, whether Social Credit, NDP or Liberal, has won a majority of the seats without

Elections BC says ‘get registered’ Maria Rantanen

editorial@burnabynow.com

Referendum information cards have started arriving in local mailboxes this week in anticipation of the mailin vote on changing the provincial voting system. In the lead-up to the referendum, Elections BC is asking B.C. residents to check that they are registered so that they receive the referendum package. To be eligible, individuals must be Canadian citizens, 18 or older as of Nov. 30, 2018 and must have been a B.C. resident for at least six months prior to Nov. 30. Referendum voting pack-

ages will be distributed between Oct. 22 and Nov. 2, 2018. The questions on the referendum ballot will be in two parts.The first will ask whether voters would choose a first-past-the-post system (the current system used in provincial and federal elections) or a proportional representation (PR) system.The second will ask voters to rank three PR systems: dual-member proportional (DMP), mixed member proportional (MMP) and rural-urban proportional (RUP). The threshold this time around is 50 per cent; if half of the electorate supports

proportional representation, then the PR system that got the most support out of the three proposed will be adopted. Voters can register or update their voter information online at elections.bc.ca/ovr, or by calling 1-800-6618683, Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. “We want to make sure that every eligible voter has an opportunity to participate in the referendum,” says Anton Boegman, chief electoral officer. “If you’ve moved or will be away, contact Elections BC to make sure you get your voting package later this fall.”

Residents tired of waiting

Continued from page 1 “That is a huge opportunity, and when that opportunity approaches, I would recommend that the city look at rebuilding (Gilmore),” Louie said. But that’s not soon enough for Mayede-Lok. “We’ve lived in the neighbourhood for 10 years, and nothing has changed, and

now there’s all these condos going up on Gilmore and Douglas,” she said, “and now we have to wait, what? Five more years before everything’s finished?” Kitchener also put in a request to the school district in the spring for a paid, adult crossing guard but was turned down. Secretary-treasurer Rus-

sell Horswill told the NOW the district assesses risks at important district crosswalks every two years, and Kitchener is “quite low” on the list. “We have other higherpriority, higher-risk schools for crossing guards that we haven’t been able to meet their needs yet,” he said.

Request that your child be excused from the FSAs Dear parents, We work hard to give your children the best education possible. Because we care, it’s our professional responsibility to raise our concerns about the Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA). Standardized tests like FSAs for Grades 4 and 7 students take time away from classroom activities, do not count for marks, and have not been meaningfully used to support student learning. FSA results provide no new resources or other funding for classrooms.

CAR EXPLODES: Burnaby firefighters extinguish a car fire on Marine Way at Byrne Road on Wednesday afternoon. The fire sent a plume of dark smoke into the sky and snarled westbound traffic on the busy stretch. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR

The misuse of FSA results to rank schools and the inadequate protection of student privacy are other major concerns. We are urging the provincial government to work with teachers and others to protect school and student information, rather than proceed with this year’s FSA. These are some reasons why BC teachers recommend that parents of Grade 4 and 7 students write to their school principal to request that their children be excused from the FSAs. More information, including a sample withdrawal letter, is available at bctf.ca/fsa.aspx.

Hiker scaling new heights to help children Burnaby paramedic plans to hike Mt. Kilimanjaro to raise funds for B.C. Children’s Hospital Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Danielle Pinoni is recovering from three knee surgeries, but that’s not stopping her from training to hike nearly 20,000 feet to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro next month. The 23-year-old paramedic and lifelong Burnaby resident will be making the ascent as part of Summits of Hope, an organization raising money for B.C. Children’s Hospital.

I’m expecting it to be a pretty hard climb and a pretty emotional journey …

She will pay her way to Tanzania, and every penny she raises in pledges will go towards the hospital’s music therapy program and equipment for its physiotherapy department. The five-day climb and two-day descent promise to be a gruelling challenge, but Pinoni knows what will inspire her to keep going. Her mom works at Children’s, so she has seen the perse-

verance of the young patients there. “Just seeing the struggle the kids and the families have to go through and thinking of how carefree a lot of people’s childhoods are, and then walking through the doors of Children’s and seeing what they have to go through and seeing how much support they need,” she said. But she has no illusions about the challenge she’s up against.The weather will fluctuate from as high as 30C at the mountain’s base to a –15C glacier hike near the summit. “I’m expecting it to be a pretty hard climb and a pretty emotional journey and just a humbling experience,” she said. Pinoni will be among 10 Summits of Hope hikers, five from B.C. and five from Manitoba, each supporting the children’s hospital in their home province. The charity has inspired people to summit the earth’s highest peaks since 1999, raising more than $2.5 million along the way. Anyone interested in more information or who wants to support Pinoni’s climb can visits www. summitsofhope.com/ climbers/danielle_pinoni.

PEAK CONDITION: Danielle Pinoni is training to hike Mt. Kilimanjaro next month in an effort to raise funds for B.C. Children’s Hospital. She’s heading to Africa as part of a 10-person team with the non-profit organization Summits of Hope. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

You know that place where kids & dogs play, nature is all around, neighbours hang together, and getting around is easy? It’s here. Haven in West Port Coquitlam has a location story no one else has. Set amid a protected greenbelt and near a network of trails means quiet walks along the river, stick-throwing sessions with the dog, and safe bike rides with the kids are an everyday thing. For traveling in and out, Highway 1 is close and Lougheed Highway is even closer. If you’re not picking up essentials in the charming downtown core, you’ll have convenient access east and west, plus a bridge-less commute into Vancouver. Home sweet home, indeed. • Two-car garage with bike & gear storage • Ceasarstone countertops throughout • Appliance package includes washer & dryer

• Extra wide townhomes for more living space • Window screens on every window • Two choices of wide-plank laminate flooring

Time to ditch junk food fundraisers? Mommy’s

GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

Bake sales, pizza parties, cake walks and hot dog days.These are the go-to fundraising options at most B.C. schools, and some parents aren’t too pleased. People love food, so it makes sense to have edible offerings when raising much-needed funds for schools. Many parents (like myself) dislike making lunches, so offering lunch programs that both bury the burden of lunch-making and raise much-needed funds for their child’s school seems like a great solution. But junk food isn’t the only option. When it comes to ensuring that kids are presented with healthier lunch options in school cafeterias, the new policies that have been put in place in several provinces across Canada seem like a great start, but is banning all non-healthy foods from schools the right solution? One province has taken it

a step too far. In New Brunswick – the first province in Canada to ban junk food from schools and where a healthy food policy has been in place for over a decade – a stricter policy was put in place this past June, increasing bans on foods. As a result, local parents are left starving for more options as they face challenges that have arisen as a result. The list of food and beverage items banned has expanded to include items such as chocolate milk and juices. Not only are kids restricted to water and milk as drink options, but what’s most upsetting for local New Brunswick parents, is that the food bans now extend to those school-fundraising activities that reach beyond the cafeteria walls, including outside initiatives hosted by the school parent advisory councils. These PAC groups run several school events geared towards raising funds for children who come from families who cannot afford

to provide lunch for their kids, and school supplies for classrooms with a lessthan-satisfactory budget for books. One school in the region raised over $8,000 through a Halloween candy campaign, and with these new regulations in place, they are worried that those missing funds will result in hungry kids and a serious scarcity of supplies. B.C., P.E.I., Nova Scotia, Quebec and Ontario all have healthy lunch policies in place, but an outright ban on foods has not been put in place – at least not yet. According to the Guidelines for Food and Beverage Sales in B.C. Schools – a mandated policy created by the Government of B.C. to encourage healthy eating in schools – the minimum nutrition standards that must be met when food and beverages are sold to students are clearly defined, yet many fundraising initiatives have opted for some less-thanhealthy lunch options instead. While I agree with the

push to put healthier foods in schools, I think moderation should be modelled, with some exceptions made for special occasions such as birthdays and holidays. Instead of vilifying certain foods, we should educate parents about the damaging effects that some of the junk food items can have on their children, and encourage them to make healthy meals at home. I would love for my children to nosh on quinoa and kale chips for their school lunch fundraisers, but my picky eaters would just pack those items and bring them back home. I’m happy to treat them to a few pizza days if it helps their school feed children in need and provide muchneeded funds for supplies and other items. School districts shouldn’t feel fed up with fundraisers that feed kids; they should be focusing on making sure the kids get fed.

Artsnow Arts Club’s Piano Teacher coming to Shadbolt Centre A critically acclaimed Arts Club production from the spring of 2017 is returning to the stage for the Arts Club on Tour season this fall. The Piano Teacher, by Vancouver playwright Dorothy Dittrich, will be onstage at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts on Saturday, Nov. 3 and Sunday, Nov. 4. The play follows Erin (Megan Leitch), a concert pianist who hasn’t touched a piano since her husband died. As Elaine (Caitriona Murphy), a piano teacher, gently reacquaints her with her instrument, other life changes follow – including a simple update to Erin’s home that brings the unexpected companionship of a contractor,Tom (Kamyar Pazandeh). “It’s wonderful to have the opportunity to come back to the play after some time away,” Dittrich said in a press release. “Now we have this beautiful opportunity to return to the story, to explore and try things that time and distance have

allowed us to ruminate on, wonder about and sometimes discover after the fact.” All the actors from the original production return for the tour, and Rachel Ditor and Scott Bellis co-direct the touring production. “I have been a fan of Dorothy’s storytelling for many years,” said Ditor in the release. “She has such insight about the role of music in our lives and its

miraculous ability to change us. I’m thrilled we get to share this original work with more people. No one has left this play unmoved.” The Piano Teacher is onstage at Shadbolt Centre, 6450 Deer Lake Ave., on Saturday, Nov. 3 and Sunday, Nov. 4, with 8 p.m. shows both nights.Tickets are $49, or $45 for students and seniors.

Mixed media featured in next Deer Lake Gallery show Art lovers, mark your calendars for the next opening at Deer Lake Gallery. The Burnaby Arts Council’s gallery will host Parallel, a mixed media exhibition by Susan Jessop, Frankie WattElphinstone and Kenneth Yuen, from Oct. 27 to Dec. 15. An opening reception is set for Saturday, Oct. 27 at noon. A gallery press release notes that Jessop’s work weaves her experiences of the landscape, wildlife and culture of Canada with her memories of the U.K., exploring the meaning of “home.” Jessop uses paper collage to explore the intersection of our interior spaces and our natural surroundings. Watt-Elphinstone’s works explore our drive to expand into new worlds, and the way in which we create “comforting and unspoken narratives in reaction to cultural expectation,” as the release explains, using images that are often seen as surprising and amusing. “In disrupting the accept-

ART ON THE MOUNTAIN An artistic response to the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project is evolving at the SFU Gallery on Burnaby Mountain. Charlene Vickers’ new installation, Speaking with Hands and Territories, is underway at the gallery until Dec. 6. Vickers, who’s a Vancouver-based Anishinaabe artist, “builds on a response to the sociopolitical and environmental urgency around the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, drawing on a dialogue with the opposition on Burnaby Mountain,” explains a write-up about the installation. Earth from the protest site on Burnaby Mountain is being brought to the gallery, and visitors are encouraged to consider their own relationship to the land – the unceded territories of the Tsleil-Waututh, Musqueam and Squamish peoples – by forming the earth into a fist-sized sphere that will become part of a hearth-like structure. The hearth forms a connection to the sacred fire at the Watch House on the protest site.

The installation is designed to continuously evolve as the public takes part in it and to help spark consideration of how we, as a society, can make a future for Indigenous lands, waterways and peoples. It’s all part of the gallery’s strategy to operate as a research centre for art and ideas “by activating the gallery as a site for collective acknowledgement and responsibility towards the land,” the exhibition description notes. Intrigued? It’s on view Tuesdays,Wednesdays and Thursdays from noon to 5 p.m. Stop by the gallery, Room 3004 (Level 3) in the Academic Quadrangle at 8888 University Dr. or see www.sfu.ca/galleries. There will also be a workshop at the gallery on Saturday, Oct. 27 at 1 p.m. led by Vickers and Roxanne Charles.

Communitynow Here’s the secret to building the perfect sandwich Chef Dez

ON COOKING editorial@burnabynow.com

This new school year means a return to the repeated task of packing of kids’ lunches again. It also got me thinking about sandwiches.When you make sandwiches, or even burgers for that matter, do you fly by the seat of your pants? Simply throwing together ingredients haphazardly between bread/buns, or can it be an art form?

This technique I am about to share with you is tried, tested and true. I have experimented many times over with numerous ingredients in different combinations, and my steadfast rules are accurate.These steps will have you making sandwiches and burgers better than you have ever done before.These rules won’t apply to simple kids’ sandwiches (like peanut butter and jelly and such) – they are meant for more “complete” sandwiches. (If you are vegetarian or vegan, I will apologize

in advance that I have not included your preferences in this scientific breakdown of layering ingredients.) Most sandwiches and burgers consist of a bread top and bottom with a meat protein in-between.The secret lies in the placement of all the other ingredients. My unwavering rule for perfection is simple: strongtasting ingredients should be placed below the protein, while light and creamy ingredients should be placed above the protein. But why and how does that make

a difference? Isn’t everything just chewed up in our mouths anyway and make for the same intermingling of flavours regardless of how it was assembled beforehand? Not exactly.We have a myriad of tastebuds located on different areas of our tongues, and they do not all pick up the same flavours. That’s the best way I can describe it from a chef’s perspective. Now when I say “strongtasting ingredients” I mean stuff like ketchup, relish, mustard, barbecue sauce,

onions, pickles, hot peppers, etc.These should be placed below the protein. Light and creamy ingredients would include lettuce, tomato, cheese, mayonnaise and should be placed above the protein. I know I have only included a handful of examples of each type of strong, or light and creamy ingredients, but I think you get the point.With anything you are wanting to place inside a sandwich or burger, I simply want you to decipher it into these two simple categories

and place it as stated.Trust me, it will make a huge difference. I also have one more important tip for you: if you are adding lettuce and tomato, make sure you season with salt and pepper – it makes a world of difference as well. Use a pure salt (kosher, sea, Himalayan pink, etc.) because in raw applications like this, table salt will taste too chemically directly on your tongue.

Knights set sights on long run in volleyball

Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

The road to success has a beginning, but exactly what that beginning is often varies. One frequent thread, however, is faith. The St.Thomas More Knights senior girls volleyball team brings that and more to the court, as the 2018 season hits its second week of action. Fresh off last weekend’s UBC-Mizuno high school girls volleyball tournament, the squad is eager to apply each lesson with an eye to returning to the provincials this November. Last year’s B.C. silver medalists, STM didn’t finish in the winner’s bracket at the Point Grey campus but exited with plenty of motivation and upbeat moments. “We ended up finishing 19th or 20th, which isn’t that great, but we definitely built up our team,” remarked senior Lauren Boddington. “We’ve been practising hard and it showed we trusted each other on the court. I think our next games we’ll play very well.” Forget the record – which first saw them in a pool with Quad-A No. 5 Handsworth, Burnaby perennial powerhouse Moscrop, and Delta.Their first win was 2-0 over Delta, and, while they lost the other two, both were by just two points. Pushing Quad-A Moscrop to 2-1, and falling by a 16-14 score in the final set, was a character moment, remarked Knights cocoach Cassie Lauang. “It showed the girls that they’re capable of challenging these teams who are ranked a little bit higher than them,” said Lauang, who shares the coaching duties with Danielle Paloposki. “(Moscrop) had a really good offence that gave our defence a little trouble, but we learned and were able to adjust and give them a run for their money in the third.That was a really good turning point for us and gave them a lot of confidence defensively.” On the second day, STM began with back-to-back victories over North Delta and Elphinstone before Lord Byng ended their run. All in all, the team garnered a good expe-

INSPIRATION POINT: St. Thomas More’s Lauren Boddington, at left, delivers a smash towards the Delta front line during last week’s UBC Mizuno high school girls volleyball tournament. The Knights garnered a lot of great lessons from the high calibre tourney and hope to spin that into a strong start to the high school season. PHOTO MARK BOOTH-DELTA OPTIMIST rience in just 48 hours. “It was a high level of volleyball especially with the young group of players on our team, as we only have four seniors,” noted Boddington, who plays outside hitter and setter. “We all saw a lot of potential in our team and think we’ll do well this year. “I think we needed those games to push ourselves and learn how to play as a team.” As part of the Lower Mainland Independent league, STM has already chalked up

a couple of lessons against top-ranked rivals.Triple-A’s No. 1-rated team, Crofton House, handed them a season-opening 3-0 loss just 12 days ago, but the Knights rebounded to edge Double-A’s No. 1 team York House 3-2 a few days later. With a roster steeped in Grade 11s (six) and Grade 10s (three), a lot of responsibility falls on the shoulders of Boddington and fellow Grade 12s Mia Malinowski, Sienna Mastromonaco and Francesca Sandini. But

the outside hitter/setter is confident in the process and her team. “I think it’s a really good responsibility, especially as a senior and a leader, to show the younger kids on our team that it’s a responsibility to pass on. All of us can definitely learn something from our Grade 10s and 11s,” Boddington added. “They definitely showed a lot of leadership during the tournament. It wasn’t just the seniors leading.”

Chiefs chase good start to major midget season

With a veteran lineup and strong Burnaby contingent,Vancouver Northeast team sets sights on playoffs Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

A deep, well-rounded roster with lots of returning veterans provides plenty of promise for the Vancouver Northeast Chiefs as they launch the 2018/19 B.C. Major Midget Hockey League season. All that’s missing is a Gritty-like mascot – the Philadelphia Flyers’ addition to bizarre sideline attractions that is the latest social media craze. The Chiefs kicked off the new season last week with a split in Victoria against the South Island Royals, setting the stage for this weekend’s home-opening twin spin with the Cariboo Cougars. Head coach Jeff Urekar, who succeeded Jamie Jackson after four years working as an associate and assistant coach, is pumped at the promise this lineup offers. “I think we see ourselves being one of the top teams in the league.We’re missing one of our top-six forwards right now and

that’s a bit of a hump to get over to start the season, but we definitely see this as a year where we can make a run,” said Urekar. “We have a lot of returning players; we have a lot of experience in the league. Both of our goalies have returned as well as five defencemen, so it makes a big difference to have that second season,” he said, referring to the nature of the midget program. Their first game, a 4-2 loss, hinged on the spectacular performance of Island netminder Brendan Forman, who made more than 40 saves to steal the two points. The Chiefs may have been hamstrung in the first game, but they turned the tables a day later in a 4-0 shutout. Christian Lowe, who missed the first game, notched the eventual game winner, whileYellowknife native and Burnaby Winter Club product Sam Schofield tallied a pair. New Westminster’s Dante Ballarin counted the other goal, a one-timer on the powerplay. Michael Harroch recorded the shutout. The bounce-back effort was exactly what

the coach hoped to see. “I really liked the way we played all weekend.We outworked them and spent a large portion of the game in their end. Being the first game, specialty teams played a bit of a role, with three of their goals coming off the powerplay,” he noted. “We had some adjustments to do going into the second game. … It really motivated our guys for Game 2 and we came out, start to finish, very solid.” During last year’s roller coaster run, where they squeaked into the eighth and last playoff spot and then became the first squad to bounce the regular season champs in the first round. Although their season ended with an overtime loss to Cariboo in the semifinals, Urekar feels that late charge can carry over for a quicker start this year. “Last year we got off to a slow start and it took us a while to get our first wins on the board,” Urekar said. “With a good returning group we’re looking forward to get those early wins.” A good run to start the season also would

put them in contention for a berth to the prestigious Mac’s Midget Hockey Tournament in Calgary – where the top-four teams at midseason qualify. This year’s Chiefs lineup has a strong Burnaby core, as well as representatives from its other zone areas of the Tri-Cities, New Westminster, Pitt Meadows and Maple Ridge. On the blueline are a trio of local contributors – Zac Abenante, Jackson MurphyJohnson and 15-year-old Nicco Camazzola. Both Abenante and Murphy-Johnson are part of the returning core who stabilize the defence as well-rounded puck carriers. Camazzola is debuting in the major midget circuit after a season in the Burnaby Winter Club’s bantam prep program, and brings solid size as the club’s youngest player. “Jackson is 6-foot-2 and 190 pounds, and Nicco’s 6-foot-1 and 180 pounds, so they are definitely one of the bigger and stronger tandems in the league, playing together,” Continued on page 35

Continued from page 34 said Urekar. “(Abenante) plays a smart, simple game where he moves pucks up the ice, which is definitely what you want on defence.” Netminder Logan Terness, meanwhile, is part of a two-man rotation with Harroch that has experience on its side.They return for another season, providing the Chiefs with a great one-two punch. An off-season growth spurt, where he added nearly four inches to his frame, has given Terness a bigger profile, said Urekar. “That adds a big impact for a goaltender. He’s on the ice seven days a week.When we’re off he’s got a goalie coach and he’s working on things. His work ethic is incredible.” On the forward ranks, a pair of Dantes – Ballarin and Burnaby minor product Berretoni – add different elements. A returning veteran, Ballarin fills a leadership role while sliding into centre ice as the club battles a few injuries. “This is really his third year with the program, as an affiliate two years ago. Last year he came on full-time and is a great leader. He has a ton of respect in that room.” Berretoni, meanwhile, provides some valuable grit and skill to the wing. “He’s very physical and tough to play against in the corners and along the boards. He’s got a great shot and his biggest asset is his ability to shoot the puck,” remarked the coach. The Chiefs host Cariboo on Saturday, 4:30 p.m., and Sunday, 11:30 a.m. at Burnaby 8-Rinks.
