TALK TO THE HAND:

Things got heated at Wednesday night’s all-candidates meeting for the school board election – eventually leading to the Burnaby RCMP being called to Byrne Creek Community School.

Pictured is Burnaby Citizens Association candidate Ryan Stewart making clear what he thinks about the views of anti-SOGI candidate Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson, who also argued with members of the crowd after the meeting ended.

Flanking the two are BCA candidates Jen Mezei and Gary Wong. Read the full story on page 9.

All eyes on first rental zoning bylaw: expert Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

As the City of Burnaby charges ahead with plans to become the first B.C. municipality to use new rental zoning powers, a local housing expert says the plan is likely to run into unexpected challenges.

“It’s the first one on the beach that gets shot,” said AndyYan, director of Simon Fraser University’s city program.

The province gave B.C. municipalities the power to zone for rental housing in May, and Burnaby announced it wanted to be the first – a decision that came

after years of harsh criticism for its handling of so-called “demovictions” in Metrotown.

Council passed first reading of a proposed amendment to its existing zoning bylaws on Monday at its last meeting before the Oct. 20 election.

Yan said the proposed rules could lay the framework for how rental zoning is handled in the Lower Mainland. But many cities are likely waiting to learn from Burnaby’s mistakes.

“It’s the second mouse that gets the cheese,” he said.

But Coun. Colleen Jordan, who chairs the city’s

community development committee, said the city is taking a measured approach.The changes currently under consideration are merely the first stage on the path to implementation, she said.

According to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, Burnaby lost 712 rental units between 2010 and 2017. During that same period, most cities in the region gained units, including Vancouver, which saw a net gain of nearly 2,500.

Many of the losses in Burnaby came from Metrotown, where several purpose-built rentals were

razed to make way for condo towers.This dented the region’s “pool of rental stock for the working population,” saidYan. Jordan echoed an explanation for the figures that Mayor Derek Corrigan gave the NOW during a Facebook Live interview on Monday. She said the Vancouver created those new rental units in large part by incentivizing developers and that many of those new units are unaffordable to individuals with average incomes.

“We don’t think it’s right for taxpayers to support market rental with public money,” Jordan said.

Yan said there’s truth to that analysis, but “if anything, it also amplifies the magnitude of what was being lost in the City of Burnaby.”

“I think that that really highlights why this type of zoning law needs to come into play, not only in Burnaby but then throughout the region,”Yan said.

THE PLAN The zoning framework lays out ground rules for what may become the province’s first rental zoning.

It would allow for the creation of sub-districts within existing multi-family residential (RM) zoning.This would allow coun-

cil to mandate a developer replace demolished apartment units with new units on a one-to-one basis, Jordan said.

She said the replacement ratio is one of the “fundamental goals.”

There is also a plan for more rental units above businesses in areas zoned as commercial districts.The report says many commercial buildings do not use all their allowable floor space, and permitting rental units on the second floor and above “represents an innovative approach to the creation of new rental supply.”

Citynow COURT

Realestatedeala‘shellgame,’saysjudge

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A B.C. Supreme Court judge had harsh words for all concerned as he dismissed competing claims for a “nondescript” threestorey rental apartment that has doubled in value since Burnaby city council approved its Metrotown Downtown Plan in July 2017.

The building at 6425 Silver Ave. was acquired by Rajinderjit Singh Bhela and Tarsem Singh Gill in March 2016 for $11.5 million through a numbered company owned entirely by Bhela, according to court documents.

It is currently zoned medium-density residential but has been earmarked in the Metrotown plan for rezoning to high-density residential and is now likely worth more than $30 million.

Within a year of buying the apartment building for $11.5 million, however, Bhela and Gill had borrowed more than double that against the property, leaving “a trail of bad debts and broken contracts in their wake,” according to a recent court ruling by Justice Michael Tammen.

By September 2017, the property was in foreclosure, and two parties claimed a right to buy it.

Both stood to “potentially receive a substantial windfall based on the escalating value of the property,” noted the judge.

THE SAHOTA BROTHERS First, Joyti Sahota, the daughter of Gurdyal Sahota and niece to his brother Pal, claimed a right of first refusal to buy the property.

The Sahota family are controversial Vancouver landlords, known for run-

ning hotels and rental apartments in decrepit conditions. Currently, the City of Vancouver has begun the process to expropriate two of the family’s Downtown Eastside hotels due to the run-down conditions.

The Sahotas had loaned Behla and Gill $1.5 million to buy the property.

As part of that deal, Joyti Sahota was apparently granted the right of first refusal, although it was never registered on title.

It turned out, however, Joyti (the judge pointed out the spelling of her name was indeed J-o-y-t-i on her driver’s licence but was spelled differently on various documents) had no idea this deal was being made on her behalf.

“She was never involved in any transaction concern-

ing this land, and at all material times, her uncle, Pal Sahota, used her name and signed documents in her name without her knowledge,”Tammen said.

Pal Sahota, the family’s patriarch, said the family had wished to acquire properties in the names of the next generation, so the family’s real estate portfolio could one day be handed down to them.

Tammen didn’t buy it, concluding it was instead a “misguided attempt” by Pal to “shield himself from any liabilities which might arise from the agreement.”

The judge said Pal’s improper motive was underscored by the fact he went as far as swearing an affidavit in which he maintained the legal fiction that he was Joyti Sahota.

“I find that he has deliberately attempted to deceive the court,”Tammen said. “His overall conduct, in particular signing documents using the name of another, and swearing an affidavit claiming to be somebody else, in my view disentitle him from claiming equitable relief from the court. He does not come to the court with clean hands.”

SHELL GAME The affairs of the other party – a numbered company – looking to acquire title on the Silver Avenue property were “even more convoluted,” according to Tammen.

Two important players behind that claim were onetime Realtor XiaoYu Sharon Ma and her Realtor son, StevenYang.

Yang found out about the Silver Avenue property from another agent.

“Yang learned of plans, which had been tentatively approved by Burnaby City Council, to rezone the neighbourhood to permit the construction of highdensity residential buildings,”Tammen said. “He described the area as one of the great locations to develop within the Lower Mainland.”

He discussed the property with his mother, and they decided to make an offer.

Ma enlisted a friend from university, ChenYin Da, to be part of the purchase team, and each paid half of the $1-million deposit on the $23-million deal.

Originally held by Chen, the contract of purchase and sale and option to pur-

chase were later assigned multiple times and eventually passed to the numbered company, for which Ma said she spoke and acted.

At the start of the court proceedings, however,Tammen said Ma failed to disclose a few important facts: the fact that she had been a Realtor when the deal was first brokered with Chen, her relationship withYang and the fact that their brokerage company, Luxmore Realty, was due to get a $1.8-million commission out of the deal.

When questioned, Ma told the court she would not get a share of the commission and, further, claimed to be “totally unaware of the commission.”

The judge didn’t buy it and concluded the $1.8-million commission was, in fact, driving the entire litigation.

“I find that Ms. Ma is engaged in a form of real estate speculation which involves her, through her company Luxmore, tying up this property with a view to finding investors to complete when necessary,” Tammen said.

The judge said Ma had been “playing a shell game with a shell company” and had failed to prove the numbered company she represented had been “ready, willing and able to complete (the deal) on the initial completion date or at time of trial.”

Tammen dismissed both claims.The fallout from Gill and Bhela’s purchase of the Silver Avenue property, however, continues.

The Sahotas are now suing the pair for repayment of their $1.5-million loan, which – based on an annual interest rate of 47 per cent – has since ballooned to nearly $4 million.

Mayoral candidate videos now posted

Former firefighter and union president Mike Hurley “respectfully” asked for support from Burnaby residents during an interview with the NOW broadcast live on Facebook Tuesday afternoon.

Hurley criticized incumbent Derek Corrigan’s record on housing and promised to put low-income renters first when considering his own policies.

On cannabis, however, he seemed to largely agree with

Corrigan and the current council’s approach to legalization (coming Oct. 17).

He said he thinks the rollout of retail stores should come gradually and that pot smoking should be allowed anywhere cigarette smoking is currently allowed.

Rat-running commuters on residential streets is a serious issue that has gone largely unaddressed, Hurley said. He promised to tackle the issue head-on.

Hurley’s interview was

the third of four Facebook Live broadcasts hosted by the NOW.The fourth and final interview, with independent candidate Helen H. S. Chang, was scheduled for Thursday at 3 p.m. (after press deadline).

All four interviews can be found online at burn abynow.com/elxnbby18.

City staff also recommended reducing the amount of off-street parking required per unit.

Both the report andYan noted that housing studies have found renters typically require fewer parking spaces.

Yan said it’s important that Burnaby’s rental stock remains concentrated around transit hubs – especially SkyTrain stations (see map).

Transit-oriented affordable rental stock is crucial to making Metro Vancouver a livable place in the years to come, he said.

“Hopefully it’s a good plan,” he said during an interview with the NOW broadcast live on Facebook.

But Hurley did say he didn’t trust Corrigan to push on with the plan after the election and questioned its timing.

The plan also lays out minimum sizes for rental units – 322 sq. ft. studio, 538 sq. ft. one bedroom, 699 sq. ft. two bedroom, etc.

This,Yan said, would prevent developers from building micro-suites, which make for a better return on investment, but not longterm family homes.

As home ownership becomes more out of reach, he said governments need to protect rental units.

WILL RENTS BE AFFORDABLE? The zoning framework, however, leaves a big question unanswered.

“It’s not only the size; it’s not only the rental; it’s about the price,”Yan said.

When the city first announced its intentions to use rental zoning in July, Corrigan told the NOW he hoped replacement units would be available at similar rents.

“I don’t think council wants to over-promise that they’re going to be at the same rents, but they want to get rents that are going to be much more within the means of people who are living in those previous units,” Corrigan said during an interview in July.

Jordan said Tuesday keeping rents low remains a priority.

She said the city could cap rents for a period of time, but doing so could result in developers walking away from proposals.

“They would say ‘have a nice life’ and go away and not build it,” she said.

“So that’s where we’re going to have to be able to consult with the community and see what will work.”

WHAT COMES NEXT? Jordan said if the current council – comprised entirely of Burnaby Citizens Association members – is re-elected Oct. 20, it will continue to work full-speed ahead on this plan. She said city staff are already working on the next phase of the plan, which looks at how to apply the rental zoning.

Independent mayoral candidate Mike Hurley said he wasn’t sure whether the framework would get his

“the light bulb has finally come on that we need this kind of housing a few weeks before an election,” Hurley said.

Council candidate Rick McGowan said he and his fellow Green party members would support the rental zoning amendment.

But he too questioned its timing.

“This is election pandering by the BCA and the mayor to win votes,” McGowan wrote in an email.

If elected, Burnaby First Coalition said its candidates would vote for the bylaw amendment unless they heard a compelling reason not to during consultations, a spokesperson said.

Jordan said that the timing of this move is not related to the election.

“We’re not being opportunistic,” she said.

While they are moving forward with some urgency, she said the city is not rushing through the process and

will avoid the “first one on the beach gets shot” scenario described byYan. She said the process will include considerable consultation with developers and the broader community.

“We don’t want to kill the goose that laid the golden egg,” she said.

The public will have an opportunity to add their thoughts on the rental zoning plan at a public hearing on Nov. 20.

Time to get on with seismic upgrades to schools

A serious rethink of provincial funding for capital projects is needed in B.C. There are a couple of reasons why the system needs changing.

One is that funding is approved for new schools based on what the enrolment is at the time of the approval – and not what the enrolment will actually be when the school opens.

And so what happens is a new school is completed and there are portables already on site because of area growth.

School districts are adept at predicting if enrolments will rise by the time a school is finished because they consult with the city they operate in and know if there are new housing projects coming.

NewWestminster is (finally) getting a replacement for its outdated high school, and it’s anyone’s guess if the school will be big enough to accommodate the area’s students – or if there will be too many.

For now, the school district is saying the school will

be big enough, and we hope that’s true.

There needs to be some flexibility from the province when it comes to planning these projects.

Listen to the school districts if they are saying growth will exceed the capacity of a certain project.

Plan for the future and not the present.

The second rethink comes in the area of seismic upgrading.The province is full of schools that badly need fixing to ensure they won’t collapse when (not if)

a massive earthquake hits us.

Now considering how important it is that our schools are safe for children, the past couple of decades have seen slow movement in the area of seismic upgrade.The big reason, of course, is the cost.

In Burnaby, the progress on replacing Burnaby North Secondary School has been shameful.

This Burnaby high school has been described as the most at risk of “widespread damage or structural fail-

ure” during an earthquake.

And yet, despite an announcement by the previous BC Liberal government that work on North would begin in 2014/15, the Burnaby school district didn’t get the green light to submit a detailed business case for the project until March 2017.

That kind of delay is unacceptable considering the potential risks to human life.

The good news is that the school district submitted a detailed $79-million business case this spring for a total replacement of Burn-

aby North Secondary, and there are indications a decision on the project may be imminent.

That’s a relief, but it could take years until a new school is open.

Twenty-four School District No. 41 schools in total have been deemed to be at high or moderate risk of damage during a major quake.

It’s time to get going on ensuring all of our schools are safe.

Should vaccinations be made mandatory?

TheWorld Health Organization has expressed concern over the low rates of childhood immunization observed in some European countries. Research by medical anthropologist Emily Brunson revealed that more than a quarter of European residents currently identify with the so-called anti-vaxxer movement.

The anti-vaxxer movement is composed of people – often young parents – who systematically question the safety and effectiveness of childhood immunization and reject all scientific evidence associated with it.

The origins of the movement can be traced back to a study published in the weekly medical journal The Lancet in the late 1990s, which attempted to link childhood vaccination and autism.The study’s assertions have long been debunked, but it still gets quoted as a scientific fact.

A measles outbreak at the Disneyland resort in California last year was widely covered by international media, yet countries like Italy have taken dramatic steps backward in the fight against childhood diseases.

The two major parties that serve in Italy’s current coalition government promised to abolish a compulsory vaccination law. As a result, children are no longer required to provide evidence of immunization in order to be enrolled in Italy’s public schools.

In Canada, the situation is not as dire. But while we do not (currently) have political parties campaigning on the elimination of vaccines, there are specific pockets of

the country where disinformation is palpable.

A Research Co. Canadawide survey asked Canadians if vaccinations for children should be mandatory in their province.

A staggering majority of residents (78 per cent) agreed that this should “definitely” or “probably” be the case.

A separate question asked Canadians if they think there is a correlation between the childhood vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella and autism in children – the argument originally made in the discredited study published in The Lancet.

Across the country, almost one in four Canadians (23 per cent) said the correlation is “definitely” or “probably” real.

The current state of affairs would suggest that Canada’s provincial health authorities should carry on with targeted information campaigns and efforts to explain to anti-vaxxers about their warped take on scientific evidence.

Other countries have taken decidedly more radical measures.

Australia, for instance, does not allow unvaccinated children in preschool and daycare, under the colourfully labelled “No Jab, No Play” legislation.

Childhood immunization is not one of those issues where a “vast majority” of informed Canadians will suffice.

As has been observed in other countries, one outbreak is too many.

Mario Canseco is the president of Research Co.

City ponders muzzling measure

Burnaby city council pondered measures in March to control a growing dog problem in the city. New regulations recommended in a staff report included requiring vicious dogs to be muzzled in public and controlled on private property.Vicious dogs seized by the pound would be kept up to 10 days and owners would have to prove they could be securely kept before they were returned. However, dogs that attacked while being abused or teased, or that attacked someone committing an illegal act, wouldn’t be labelled “vicious.”

Editor: Re: Dominant BCA launches campaign, mayor defends housing record, NOW online, Sept.

22 Mayor Derek Corrigan defends his longstanding narrative that council had no tools to avoid Metrotown demovictions. New Westminster begs to differ. New West’s Secured Market Rental Housing Policy successfully incentivizes the preservation of purpose-built rental stock.

New West council rejects the rezoning of purpose-built rental buildings to higher density or increased height. They recorded no demovictions because, as their former director of development services explained, “most developers abide by New West’s wishes.”

That property owners maximize the lifetime of rental buildings should stand to reason when the alternative of a premature redevelopment is limited to a similar density and height. Burnaby’s runaround response that a rental building owner could still redevelop the site for strata-titled units under the prevailing zoning has also proven moot in New Westminster. This policy would have discouraged land speculators from taking over Metrotown’s purpose-built rental areas.

New West also explores density transfer to preserve purpose-built rental stock. Now, in Burnaby, we use density transfer to destroy affordable rentals. We allow a developer to turn purpose-built rentals south of Maywood Park into parkland and in return, transfer the freed density to a highrise condo project of that developer north of the park.

FALL

And to round it up, we earmark the community benefit funds for the construction of an event centre in the vicinity, which, like the park extension, will support that development’s sky-high condo valuations. It does not take an urban designer to imagine ways how Burnaby, too, could have used density transfer to help preserve the ratio of affordable purpose-built rental units to condo units that Metrotown enjoyed at the turn of the century.

(Urban planner) Patrick Condon is right: “The big issue before voters on Oct. 20 is this: Who controls zoning, the citizens or the land speculators?”

Cops called as meeting descends into chaos Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Police were called to a trustee all-candidates meetings at a Burnaby high school Wednesday evening after a noisy altercation between an incumbent candidate and an anti-SOGI 123 audience member.

Ten of Burnaby’s 13 school board hopefuls gathered at Byrne Creek Community School for an event organized by the district parent advisory council.

The moderator spelled out at the outset candidates wouldn’t be asked questions about issues on which they’d already made public statements.

They were told they’d be asked randomly drawn, parent-generated questions.

The meeting hummed along without much debate until independent candidate Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson – a vocal opponent of SOGI 123, a Ministry of Education resource designed to help educators make schools inclusive and safe for students of all sexual orientations and gender identities – drew her second of two questions about French immersion.

When asked how she would promote French immersion and other specialist teachers to the district, she said: “How would I promote them? I’d say, ‘Come on in.’

I mean, we just want good French immersion teachers. I’m not sure that’s a question worth two minutes. … I think a more important question is what are we teaching kids with respect to transgenderism in our schools. A real problem is that from kindergarten to Grade 5, we have 14 transgender books, and I think

that’s a more important question.We’ve already covered French immersion.”

Burnaby Citizens Association candidate Ryan Stewart called her remarks “shameful,” and the moderator told her to stick to the question.

Picked to rebut Thompson’s response, incumbent BCA candidate Gary Wong said Burnaby schools also had numerous books about religion. He then went onto answer the specialist teacher question.

Wong said the Burnaby district has created the “right type of working environment” to attract and retain staff.

“We respect our teachers; we respect our administrators,” he said. “It’s a place that a lot of them want to be, so that’s how we attract our French immersion teachers.”

It’s almost as if the baby was brought as a prop.

None of the candidates’ answers sparked much of a response from the 40-member audience until Jimmy Zhao, another anti-SOGI candidate, arrived to the meeting 50 minutes late.

Organizers gave him a chance to respond to one randomly drawn question to end the evening.

Asked how he would advocate for students with mental health challenges, Zhao said: “The first thing I’m concerned about is SOGI 123. I think it’s the most important thing for

Making a point: Parent XXXXX argues SOGI policy with candidate Laura Lynn Tyler Thompson. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR

us.”

“That’s not the question!” yelled one of the other candidates.

Zhao was cut off by the moderator, and the mic was handed to BCA candidate JenYang Mezei for a rebuttal.

“I think what we really need to do is focus on the fact that there’s so many different areas that we need to support kids,” she said, “and we really need to elect a board that understands the breadth of what our public education system needs to do and the breadth of what our public education system needs to support.”

That ended the meeting but not the drama, as various candidates on the stage began arguing loudly about SOGI 123.

At one point, anti-SOGI audience members broke out in a chant: ““We’re against SOGI! We’re against SOGI!” The chaos culminated as incumbent BCA candidate Larry Hayes went to leave the meeting room through a crowded doorway.

A scream rang out and a woman carrying a baby could be heard loudly yell-

ing, “Why are you pushing me? Why are you pushing?”

Audience members said Hayes had called Zhao “an idiot” and had then pushed the woman when she confronted him about the remark.

Hayes told the NOW the woman had barred his way and then pushed the baby into his face.

“It’s almost as if the baby was brought as a prop,” he said.

When asked if he’d called Zhao an idiot, he said he had called Zhao’s comments “idiotic.”

He said the issue is an emotional one for trustees who were on the Burnaby school board six years ago, when it faced similarly vocal opposition to its LGBTQspecific anti-bullying policy.

“It probably shouldn’t bother us as much, but, just to hear some of that rhetoric again, when it has not been an issue, it’s really digging up hate, and that probably brings out the emotions in some of us who did fight, I think, a pretty good fight to ensure that inclusion ruled,” he said.

The incident sparked yelling between pro- and anti-SOGI audience members, and the RCMP was called in.

About four officers attended and questioned witnesses, telling others to leave the building.

“I was expecting a different conversation,” said BCA audience member Lee Loftus, who spent some time yelling at anti-SOGI attendees.

He said opposition to LGBTQ-friendly policies in Burnaby was not new but that he wasn’t concerned anti-SOGI candidates would be elected.

“I think there’s a small group of people that are very vocal about it,” he said.

“I don’t think it’s any bigger than that.That’s what they’re going to continue to have, is 30 people following them around, and they’re going to get that platform on that. People like to hear the controversy.”

Thompson disagreed, saying local parents are upset about SOGI 123, and the meeting should have included questions about the resource.

“We already had three questions on French Immersion,” she said to the NOW. “For God’s sake, ask a SOGI question!”

DPAC chair Laura Ward said all the candidates had already made their position on SOGI clear.

“So, we were trying to avoid any sort of controversy,” she said. “It was a decision that we didn’t take lightly.We debated it for a good hour together.”

Burnaby RCMP confirmed it was investigating a possible assault related to the meeting but no charges have yet been recommended.

Who am I?

As a daughter searches for her own identity, she turns the lens on her mother’s past – and finds a quiet hero

A daughter’s journey, a mother’s strength story by Julie MacLellan ! images by Jennifer Gauthier When Adhel Arop learned she’d won a $50,000 grant from the TELUS STORYHIVE program to create a short documentary film, she danced with her friends.

The award will give the 21-year-old Burnaby resident a chance to pursue a passion project she’s been working on since she started writing it for a Grade 12 English class: the story of her family.

Her documentary, Who Am I?, is planned as a 15- to 20-minute exploration of her quest for her own identity against the background of her life as a South Sudanese refugee. Adhel’s mother, Amel Madut, was a teenage soldier in the Sudanese People’s Liberation Army. Amel survived the war and life in refugee camps in Ethiopia, Uganda and Kenya before bringing the family to Canada nearly 17 years ago.

Adhel will turn the lens on what those experiences have meant to her family and how they have shaped who she is today.

Adhel and Amel sat down with Burnaby NOW reporter Julie MacLellan to talk about the project.

A

!

dhel Arop’s earliest memories are filled only with joy. She remembers playing, laughing, being surrounded by family and friends and love. And mom. Always mom.

She didn’t know what kind of turmoil was going on in the world around them all.

She didn’t know what kind of unimaginable journey her mother, Amel, had travelled to bring Adhel and her siblings to this place, in Kenya – where Amel worked hard and prayed for the day they would be accepted as refugees to a land far away.

When the curious preschooler finally boarded a long-awaited plane to Canada, it was just an adventure.

“It was, hey, we’re on a plane, oh cool, what does this do?” recalls Adhel.

For Amel, that plane journey was much more than an adventure. It was salvation.

LIFE IN A NEW LAND ife in Canada wasn’t easy at first.

They were strangers in a strange land, with no idea where to go for the most basic of tasks – grocery shopping, banking, registering for school. And there was the language gap, too: the children had spoken Swahili at school in Kenya, and the family also spoke Arabic and Dinka, the major language of South Sudan.

Amel made sure they all learned English.

She took two jobs to earn the money to support them all.

“I made my children, my siblings, not to lack anything,” she says. “Whatever I get, I have to spend it on them.”

To this day, Amel and Adhel are grateful for the support they found in their Edmonds-area apartment complex.There, immigrant and refugee families from all around the world – Somalia, Russia, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Ethiopia – built a community of Canadian newcomers.

The workers at Edmonds Community School were a big part of Amel’s support network in those early years. Edmonds and Byrne Creek Secondary School were key

UNBREAKABLE BOND: Filmmaker Adhel Arop, left, and her mother Amel Madut at the family’s Burnaby apartment. Adhel has earned a $50,000 grant from the TELUS STORYHIVE program to produce a documentary called Who Am I?. The film will chronicle a daughter’s search for her own identity against the backdrop of her mother’s story – the story of a former teen soldier in the Sudanese People’s Liberation Army who fled the uprising to make a new life for her children. influences in helping the family settle in to their new life.

Education was always number 1 for Amel.

“I pushed them to go to school. I bring them here, I say, ‘This is a land of opportunity, you have to work hard,’” Amel says.

Adhel concedes she probably had the easiest time adapting to the family’s new life in Burnaby, in part because she was then the youngest (she now has two younger brothers).

She picked up English quickly – “languages for me are quite easy,” she says – and got involved in everything and anything she could. Her passions changed over the years, from getting into anime in Grade 5 and deciding to learn Japanese, to running track, writing poetry for school assemblies, doing slam poetry, writing stories, taking acting and modelling classes.

All through those years, Adhel says, she felt unsettled about herself.Wearing the label “refugee kid” means “you go through the school system underestimated or overestimated,” she says.

And there was a part of her that always felt like an outsider – something, her mother says, that remains true even after many years in Canada.

“Even if you say you are Canadian, they will still ask where are you from.You still look like this,” Amel says, pointing to the dark skin of her hand.

Adhel agrees.

“Growing up in B.C. I was always a minority,” she says. “In my day-to-day life there wasn’t a lot of people who looked like me.The only way I found a voice was through my artwork.”

self, or about the turmoil that had sent the family to Canada. But the curiosity of Amel’s inquisitive fourth child slowly changed that. Adhel would pick up snippets about her mother’s past from her aunts, and she’d badger her mother until she got bits and pieces of the story.

“Her, she liked asking a lot of questions,” Amel says, shooting a smile Adhel’s way. “I always used to say to her, you are going to be the one telling my story.”

AMEL’S STORY ife wasn’t always hard. Growing up in South Sudan, she had a good life.

The tall woman with the gentle, lilting voice and the watchful dark eyes smiles as she talks about life with her family.

Her dad was a teacher; her mom was a midwife. Amel was the firstborn of eight children. She went to school; she helped with the younger ones; she loved her parents.

She didn’t understand the political climate of South Sudan at the time. She’d hear her mom and grandmother talking about the war. Old people, like her grandmother, didn’t want the war to come.

It came.

The Second Sudanese CivilWar broke out in 1983, as the central Sudanese government faced an uprising from the group that would become known as the Sudanese People’s Liberation Army. It would become one of the longest and bloodiest conflicts in world history, a 22-year war that would leave four million people displaced and two million dead from fighting, famine and disease.

A new life: Adhel Arop, with mom Amel Madut, in this family photo taken not long after their arrival in Canada.

Adhel says she always felt the pull between the two cultures that shaped her: her South Sudanese self and her Canadian self.

“There was a lot of confusion about which parts were me and which parts were given to me,” she says. “Stepping into myself was difficult.”

As she searched for herself, she realized her story was inescapably bound up in her mother’s.

Amel had never talked much about her-

‘She just kind of quietly did it’ Continued from page 10 It would also become notorious for its use of child soldiers.

Amel was 14 when she joined the SPLA after fighting in her town separated her from her family and sent her on the run with other children.

“If you are not a soldier by then, you will have a hard time,” she says, in explanation.

She headed off to training camp with what would become known as the women’s battalion.There, she met other girls her age, and some a little older, who looked out for each other and fought side by side. Going on thirty-five years later, Amel is matter-of-fact about the experience.

“It was dangerous.You can see the shooting.You can see the people die in front of you.You don’t know if you will survive or not.”

She saw friends die, and a teacher too. But somehow, she made it through four long years, trekking day after day en route to Ethiopia, where refugee camps awaited the child soldiers.

“It was very difficult,” she says, in her soft voice. “It had to be walking, day and night, walking, walking, walking, from place to

place.”

Her long journey took her next to Uganda, then onward to Kenya.

By then, Amel had children, and she also had charge of her own younger siblings.

“My son, I had to tie him on my back and then walk,” she says, miming the action of wrapping her baby safely onto her back.

Somehow, she kept them all safe. She found work in Kenya, first as a preschool teacher and later as an interpreter for the United Nations.While the family lived in Nairobi, Amel’s two-bedroom home became known as a place of refuge for others in need – there were times, she laughs, when she had to wake people up just so she could get out the door in the morning, because so many people were sleeping on the floor.

Eventually, her UN contacts helped her find passage as a refugee.

At the time, she says, families weren’t choosing where they wanted to go. Several countries – Canada, the U.S., Australia, New Zealand, Norway – were coming to Kenya for refugees, and refugee families simply waited to be told where they would be heading.

Survivor: Amel Madut as she looked in her days as a teenage soldier in the Sudanese People’s Liberation Army. It was a time in her life she didn’t talk much about – until her daughter Adhel started asking questions.

Amel, her siblings and her children were granted refuge by Canada. She remembers the excitement of getting the news, and the profound sense of relief she felt.

“My children will get a good life,” she recalls thinking. “They will go to school. I’m not going to be worried about anything: no sickness, no killing.”

SILENT STRENGTH s Amel’s story unfolded in bits and pieces for her daughter, Adhel came to understand and appreciate her mother’s strength and determination.

“My mom didn’t ever tell me that she’s strong; she just kind of quietly did it,” Adhel says, noting that strength transmitted itself to her children. “We were conditioned by her; she kind of forced us to be strong.”

Adhel laughs that growing up was “pretty much like a boot camp sometimes.”The kids were expected to get up and keep going, no matter what. She admits she was the family crier, the sensitive one, but everyone around her just kept telling her that she could do it.

“I had people always going, ‘Why are you stopping? Keep going, keep going,” she says. “Then finally I was like, ‘Yeah, I got this.’”

Now, she says, that determination is just built in to her nature.

“I don’t see anything that’s outside of my limitations. I always was encouraged to do whatever I wanted to do,” she says. “The limitations that exist are only within yourself.The worst that can happen is failure. My personal motto is just keep failing until you succeed.”

In 2015, Adhel decided to adopt a new name in keeping with her motto; she grew up as Lois, but, in discussion with Amel, changed it in honour of Amel’s father’s grandmother.

It’s an Arabic name meaning “the road that moves forward,”

“If you’re a tail, people will drag you around, but if you’re a head, people will follow you,” Adhel explains.

Communitynow Hairstylists needed for Homelessness Action Week Annual event gives people a chance to drop in for haircuts, health and dental checks, flu shots and more Maria Rantanen

editorial@burnabynow.com

Members of the Burnaby Task Force to End Homelessness are looking for hairstylists to volunteer at the annual Connect event during Homelessness Action Week.

This is the 13th annual event and it’s set to take place Oct. 11 at Royal Oak Ministry Centre.

This year, organizer Carol-Ann Flanagan, however, is short on people to cut

It’s one of the stations that can change a person’s life.

and style hair for the up to 200 clients expected.The hair stylist station is always the most popular, Flanagan explained.

“It’s one of the stations that can change a person’s life,” she said. After they are all done up with their hair as well as makeup, a photographer takes their photo.

“It does something for their soul.”

Not only will their clients get new hair styles, they will be able to get their blood pressure checked and get a flu shot from local nurses,

have their teeth checked by a dentist and their eyes examined by an optometrist.

There will be a pancake breakfast served by the Lions and free clothing will be given away.

On Saturday, Oct. 6 the task force is hosting the Twice Feels Nice clothing drive from noon to 2:30 p.m. at Central Christian Assembly (5855 Imperial St.).Warm clothing is the most needed item at this time of year, Flanagan said.

Those wishing to donate their time or money, can contact Flanagan directly (information below).

Organizers are also busy collecting donations from businesses to give away in draws throughout the day.

Because the hair station is so popular at Connect each year, Flanagan said she hopes she gets many volunteers, either professionals or students, even if they can only come for a limited time.

“If I had 10 hairdressers, that would be great,” Flanagan said. “I’m really hoping people will be able to donate a few hours.”

Flanagan said she’s so impressed by people who show kindness to the less fortunate, like a BC Hydro employee who recently collected from her colleagues a pile of toiletries as well as steel-toed boots to donate to those less fortunate.

During the 2017 homeless count, the task force estimated there were between 250 and 300 homeless people in Burnaby.

Of the 69 people they spoke to on the count night, 49 were sleeping in the street or couch surfing.

Thirty-two per cent of the Burnaby homeless popula-

tion is 55 or older.

“These are the stats nobody wants to see or hear,” Flanagan said.

Homelessness Action Week is Oct. 7 to 13.Turkey dinner will be served on two occasions, on Sunday, Oct. 7 at the Salvation Army, 6125 Nelson Ave. at 5 p.m., and on Monday,

Oct. 8 at Southside Community Church, 7135 Walker Ave. at 5 p.m.The Connect event on Oct. 11 is at Royal Oak Ministry Centre, 7175 Royal Oak. Hair stylists interested in volunteering at the Connect event can contact info@ burnabyhomeless.org or 604-200-0712.

The Burnaby Task Force to End Homelessness is under the umbrella of the Society to End Homelessness in Burnaby.

A few fun fall ideas for families in Burnaby Julie MacLellan FAMILY TIES

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

The leaves are changing colour, the nights are growing cold and the kids are planning their Halloween costumes.

It’s undeniably fall – and it’s a busy season once again on the family fun front in Burnaby. If you’re looking for some extracurricular outings for the kids this season, we’ve rounded up a few options for you.

Burnaby Village Museum is once again opening its gates for the annual spookfest, from Friday, Oct. 26 to Monday, Oct. 29 from 6 to 9 p.m. nightly.

Visitors can explore the village in the dark, join in the fun at the Hill Street Bash, check out the repair services at the ‘Broom Closet’ (a witches’ broom repair shop that’s taken over the Royal Oak Garage) and check out the party at the Love Farmhouse, where rat kabobs are reportedly on the menu.

Communitynow Massive mental workload is burning out moms Mommy’s

GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

It’s late at night, and I’m sitting on the couch watching my favourite show on Netflix.

My three kids have all gone to bed and the house is quiet. On the outside, I look relaxed, but on the inside my mind is running through task lists, scanning schedules and charting the chores that need to be done in the coming days.

If you could hear what happens inside the minds of mothers, it would sound like a cassette tape, running on fast forward, at high

volume. A piercingly loud voice chattering at full speed – never ending.

Our minds don’t rest.

Ever.

Whether working in a full-time office job, juggling part-time gigs from home or managing the household as a stay-at-home mom, there’s one thing that is the main cause of burnout for moms from all walks of life – the massive mental workload that we take on while raising kids.

I came across a story on Medium.com called “How Invisible Work & Sacrifices Affect Working Moms.”

After conducting 13 interviews with high-profile career moms, the co-authors

of the article were hoping to answer the question:Why is it so hard to be a working mom?

While all interview participants had supportive parenting partners at home, it quickly became apparent that they all took on a disproportionate amount of the household chores and the invisible work, too – tasks such as scheduling appointments, filling out forms, paying fees, preparing lunches and making sure sports uniforms and dance leotards are cleaned and ready for the next day.

But it’s not just the papers and laundry that are constantly piling up for moms, it’s also the mental

It’s not just the papers and laundry that are constantly piling up …

load that we carry – the todo lists that we don’t write down – that is the heaviest load we bear.

When I travel for work, I hand write long lists for my husband – not because I don’t think that he can handle the busy schedule, but because there are so many important details that I keep

in my head. Pickup and drop-off schedules and locations, extracurricular details such as which dance shoes to pack, and whether soccer cleats or soft-soled shoes are needed, and pre-planned playdates and the contact information for each parent.

Money for popcorn days, and due dates for forms to be filled out, and rotating hot lunch days, and field trips, and the list goes on and on.

So why do we put so much pressure on ourselves as moms to make a mental note of every little detail and store it in our heads, instead of passing the information on to the other parent, so that the workload can be

more evenly distributed? Is this massive mental workload a self-inflicted burden?

It’s not about whether we work in an office or in the home, it’s the invisible tasks that we take on, and the mental workload of keeping the family engine running, that is burning us all out.

If we really want to see a shift in support, moms need to hand over the steering wheel and give their partners a turn in the driver’s seat, too.

Burnaby performer takes to the stage for improv festival

In the spotlight: Ese Atawo of Burnaby is a performer and director in the Vancouver International Improv Festival.

PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

A Burnaby performer is stepping into the spotlight for the Vancouver International Improv Festival.

Ese Atawo will be part of the fun when the 20th annual festival runs from Oct. 9 to 13 on Granville Island.

The festival will give comedy fans a chance to enjoy more than 30 interactive performances, plus workshops and an opening night gala.

Atawo is a Nigerian-born, Toronto-raised improviser who started her comedy career at Second City learning improv.

She’s currently a cast member of Instant Theatre,

Zone Supervisor

where she’s the co-creator and co-host of East Vancouver Improv League (a.k.a.

EVIL Improv). She’s also part of the acclaimed local troupesYour Moms and Nasty Women.

For theVancouver festival, Atawo will both direct and perform with The Improvisors, onstage on Thursday, Oct. 11 at 7:30 p.m. at the Revue Stage.The troupe features POC improvisers from all over.

“We all wear different masks. Some we create by ourselves and others are created for us, whether we like it or not,” says a writeup about the group. “With a

diverse cast of improvisers, The Improvisors will delve into the characters behind each mask and explore the rich lives of those who wear them.”

Atawo will also be part of an international ensemble, dubbed Ensemble Echo, that includes a diverse array of world performers with backgrounds in clown, stand-up, sketch comedy and physical theatre.That ensemble takes to the stage twice: on Thursday, Oct. 11 on the Revue Stage at 9:30 p.m., and on Saturday, Oct. 13 at Performance Works at 7:30 p.m.

Rizzo on 2019 NHL draft radar Burnaby native makes list of prospects for 2019 NHL draft Even while on the shelf, Burnaby’s Massimo Rizzo is attracting plenty of attention.

The slick centre for the Penticton Vees has garnered his share of interest over the past year, including signing a full-ride scholarship for next year with the University of North Dakota.

Although he’s still recovering from an injury and has yet to play a game this season, the 17-year-old was among a list of B.C. Hockey League players who are on the National Hockey League’s Central Scouting Players to Watch list, released earlier this week.

Rizzo was one of two players posted on the list’s B skaters category, considered as possible second-or thirdround selections for the 2019 NHL Draft, which will be hosted by Vancouver next June.

In his inaugural year with the Vees, the Burnaby Winter Club product tallied 13 goals and 26 assists, and added four goals and six helpers in 11 playoff games.

In May, he was chosen by the coaching staff as team captain.

The top junior A player on the list is potential first-round selection Alex Newhook of the Victoria Grizzlies, posted on the A skaters list.

Sinclair, Regan ready for action Burnaby will have a presence like few others at this week’s CONCACAF women’s soccer championships in Texas.

And, for two of the players, it will be like every game’s a home game.

Led by national team captain Christine Sinclair, the Canadian roster also includes fellow Burnaby native Emma Regan, 18, as well as Vancouver-born and former Burnaby minor soccer player Julia Grosso.

Sinclair, of course, is considered among the game’s best players and will be playing her 270th international game on Friday in the opener.

She sits second among all-time international scorers with 173 goals.

Regan, a fullback, and Grosso, a midfielder, are products of the Whitecaps FC Super REX program, and are both first-year student athletes at the University of Texas.

Canada’s first game is Friday against Jamaica.Their pool also includes Cuba and Coasta Rica.

WINDING UP: The Burnaby Rush’s Reem Kynfatty, at left, leans into a kick during a recent Metro Women’s Division Select B game against Coquitlam Metro-Ford at Cariboo Hill. Kynfatty scored the team’s lone goal in a 3-1 loss, and currently sits second in league scoring with four goals in four games. Burnaby is off to a solid start at 1-1-2, including a draw with the last undefeated team in the 10-team loop but will be looking to bounce back in their next game (Oct. 14) from a tough 4-1 loss to Richmond.

Wildcats wired for soccer success Burnaby Central starts season undefeated, with an aim at returning to provincials

Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

The season isn’t long – barely eight weeks, if you’re good enough to push it forward to the championship tournament – but if it goes the way they hope, it will be sweet.

The Burnaby Central Wildcats have a plan, built on years of playing together, plowing through coaches’ drills and bonding on the pitch.

This year’s as good as any to fulfill it.

Off to a 4-0 start, the Wildcats have their eyes on the provincial AAA soccer championships, which conveniently are scheduled

Riverway Golf Course & Driving Range 604-280-4653

Central Park Pitch & Putt

for late November at Burnaby Lake complex.

Although their aim may be true, Burnaby Central’s coach is making sure they know there’s a route to get there, and they’ve got to keep their eyes on the road at all times.

“We have 12 returning guys, and about nine Grade 11s, and of those nine (players), seven play on the same (club) team,” remarked coach Ivan Steko.

“They’re familiar with each other, they know where each other is and where to be, and that is half the battle when coaching high school sports.”

On Wednesday, they handed Burnaby North a 2-0 loss on

the strength of a pair of Carson Bushman-Dormond goals late in the contest. Although the visiting Vikings locked it down and limited Central’s offence over most of the contest, the Wildcats’ attack eventually found an opening.

“With about 12 minutes left, Carson got some space and hit a nice left-foot shot down to the corner, then did the exact same thing around five minutes later. I think that one goal deflated North. I think they were playing for the tie and hoping to catch us in the counter (game),” said Steko.

Burnaby North, which was enjoying a two-game win streak prior to their Central encounter, of-

fered up a strong defensive test. It proved to be the Wildcats’ toughest test so far. “(Our) guys kept going, we kept coming in waves. ...We thought, if they want us to attack, we’ll bring more guys in. I think because of those constant, constant waves it probably gave us extra space, slowed them down and they got tired.”

The Wildcats began the week with a 5-0 victory over the Cariboo Hill Chargers and were challenged a week ago in their contest with Alpha.

With a large core of returnees and most having some connection to their teammates through Continued on page 33

Central has Cross-country runners gain ground eye on a prize Continued from page 32 HPL or metro soccer, the chemistry is strong, Steko said. A few players also remain from Central’s Whitecaps Residency program, which moved to UBC a year ago.

“Because they were already educated here they chose to stay here – so it’s not your common high school team.We’re kind of reaping the benefits of that and hope it leads to something bigger.”

Led by captains Adrien Labreche and Niko Mrakic, the squad is deep at every position. Steko had to wade through 40 players at tryouts and make some difficult decisions to get the roster down to a manageable 20.

Now they want to improve on last year, when they finished 10th at the B.C.s.

“They’ve set (the goals) for themselves.

They want to finish top-three for provincials, but we have to get there first. If everything goes well and we come out of Burnaby, their goal is top three. (From 10th last year) is a significant jump, but everyone is talking about how good this team is.”

In other action Wednesday, Burnaby Mountain improved to 3-0-1 with a 2-0 shutout over Byrne Creek, Burnaby South knocked off Cariboo Hill 3-1, while Alpha trounced New West 6-1.

Burnaby Central’s next game is against the only other team without a loss so far, Burnaby Mountain, Oct. 10 at Central.

For the first race of the season, the results were pretty midseason form.

Cross-country runners from Burnaby secondary schools were part of a cross-district meet in Coquitlam, pitting Burnaby/New West and Coquitlam runners in the first of a series of meets between the two.

Burnaby had its share of good results from the inaugural meet, which happened at Mundy Park last week.

Burnaby Mountain’s Isabella Brunoro finished second among junior girls, crossing the line at 14:14 minutes, just 13 seconds back of Dr. Charles Best’s Lucy Von Stefenelli. Mountain teammates Krista Traboulay, at sixth, Hannah Vorell, in eighth, and Stephanie Lim, in ninth, rounded out Burnaby’s top-10 results.

In the junior boys event, Burnaby Central’s Ryan Goudron placed third with a time of 12:32, trailing Terry Fox’s Jacob Wadhwani’s first-place time of 12:05. Crossing the finish line in eighth was Alpha’s Henry Ruckman-Utting, while Mountain’s Martin Melisik came in 10th.

In the senior races, Alpha’s
