LOCAL NEWS – LOCAL MATTERS.

Byelection gets called Federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh finally has a date with voters after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called three byelections, including one for Burnaby South.

Voters in Burnaby South will go to the polls on Feb. 25 after being without an MP since September 2018, when the NDP’s Kennedy Stewart resigned for his ultimately successful run for mayor of Vancouver.

The announcement comes after Singh and other federal party leaders criticized Trudeau for delaying the byelections.They argued that residents of the ridings were being denied their right to representation in Ottawa.

Singh, who was elected leader of the NDP in 2017, will be attempting to win his first seat in Parliament.

He will be facing off against Conservative Jay Shin, Liberal Karen Wang and Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson of the People’s Party of Canada.The Green party has opted not to run a candidate in the riding.

FINALLY! The NDP gathered supporters in Burnaby on Sunday in anticipation of a byelection being called on the weekend for the Burnaby South riding. But it wasn’t until Wednesday that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called it. Now, voters will go to the polls on Feb. 25. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER

Cityletteralleges‘unpermitted’pipelinework

Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Trans Mountain is going ahead with its pipeline expansion project without permission and should be stopped, according to the City of Burnaby.

The city’s lawyer, Gregory McDade, sent a letter to the National Energy Board on Dec. 21 accusing the company of “unpermitted activities related to the TMEP (Trans Mountain Expansion Project).”

But Trans Mountain maintains all work ongoing at the tank farm is related

to permitted pipe relocation and decommission work – not the expansion project that was halted following a Federal Court of Appeal ruling in August 2018.

Mayor Mike Hurley told the NOW he wasn’t convinced Trans Mountain is playing by the rules.

“It seems to be that they’re preparing for the pipeline to move ahead as planned,” he said.

McDade’s letter includes aerial photos supposedly showing work being done adjacent to the proposed sites of two new oil tanks – part of the expansion proj-

ect.

“These pictures show what appear to be welding tents and pipeline sections laid out on the ground,” McDade wrote.

The photos also show the company clearing trees outside the scope of approved work, McDade said.

Trans Mountain’s regulatory and compliance vicepresident, Scott Stoness, filed a response to the NEB on NewYear’s Eve. “Trans Mountain strongly disagrees with any suggestion that it is engaged in unpermitted activities at the Burnaby Terminal,” he

wrote.

He said all ongoing work falls under two standing orders issued by the NEB in 2017 and 2018. Stoness goes on to counter several of the claims made by Burnaby about the content of the submitted photos.

The photo showing the sites of two proposed tanks incorrectly labels an existing tank as Tank 72, when it is actually Tank 74, he wrote.While the photo correctly identifies the sites of two proposed tanks, Stoness said it shows no evidence of work being done to build those tanks.

“At each of the proposed tank sites, there are excavation materials placed there from work under the orders,” Stoness wrote. “Other than the storage of excavation materials related to the orders, there are no other construction activities occurring.”

A second photo from the city includes arrows pointing to objects on the ground arranged in a straight line, with a label questioning whether they are “stanchions marking pipeline route.”

But the city is wrong again, according to Stoness.

“The ‘stanchions’ pointed out are merely temporary pylons being used to delineate the road surface edge,” he wrote.

He said the same photo correctly identifies a welding tent, but it’s there to work on the relocation of the Suncor delivery line – which is approved.

The photos of felled trees also show permitted work, according to Stoness The NEB has received the letters and “the matter is currently under consideration by the board,” according to spokesperson James Stevenson.

What Mayor Hurley guarantees for 2019 NOW reporter Kelvin Gawley sat down with Burnaby’s mayor for his guarantees, aspirations and goals

B

urnaby Mayor Mike Hurley hasn’t made any personal New Year’s resolutions.

While others are vowing to eat more greens, hit the gym and escape the grip of social media, Hurley says he’s concentrated on fulfilling his election promises.

The retired firefighter was elected to the city’s top job in October and sworn into office in early November.

His campaign slogan “Time for change” triumphed over incumbent Derek Corrigan’s “Trusted leadership.

Delivered for Burnaby.”

But now it’s Hurley’s turn to deliver on the trust the electorate put in him.

The NOW asked Hurley to list his guarantees, goals and aspirations for 2019. As during the election, the focus remained on housing, followed by policing, traffic and city infrastructure.

This newspaper will follow up on this list throughout the year and hold Hurley to account for his promises.

GUARANTEES Housing task force: Hurley promised this new committee will complete its sixmonth mandate and come up with recommendations to address housing issues in Burnaby in the years to come. It will also deliver a three-month interim report that he hopes will find solutions for tenants under threat of demoviction.

Increased policing: Hurley said the city’s 2019 budget will increase the Burnaby RCMP’s budget. “We are going to guarantee that policing is going to step up to the proper levels to ensure that when our citizens are in our public spaces ... they feel safe,” he said. He said the precise funding numbers haven’t been set yet but will come in the city’s annual budget (expected in late February). Hurley also said a police school liaison program will be revived, so more kids see cops in school as role models.

Facility upgrades: “We are going to guarantee that our public facilities are going to be upgraded,” Hurley said. Plans for new ice rinks in southeast Burnaby will go ahead, with shovels in the ground “hopefully by the end of the year,” he said. More ice rinks, pool replacements and upgrades

and replacements of community centres will follow, Hurley said, but groundbreaking on those is unlikely in 2019.

GOALS Park upgrades:When Burnaby residents decide to spend time outdoors, Hurley said, they shouldn’t have to leave the city to find something that appeals to them. “We have great parks within Burnaby, and I want to ensure that they’re staying up-to-date and that they’re staying relevant and attractive to our families within the city,” he said.

“We need to possibly make them more exciting in some ways.” Hurley said he’s not exactly sure how the city would do that, but he pointed to Port Moody’s redevelopment of its waterfront as an example.

More sidewalks: Sidewalks are “not the most sexy issue,” but they’re still important, especially for people with mobility issues, Hurley said.While city staff were already planning to build new sidewalks before the election, he said those plans were not ambitious enough. “The plan is OK, but I think we can step it up and maybe push it to get it completed a bit quicker,” he said.

Housing, housing, housing: Hurley’s third goal sounds a lot like his first guarantee – “to ensure we’re going in the right direction” on the housing file. He said this will remain his number 1 focus. In addition to his work at Burnaby City Hall, Hurley will be chairing MetroVancouver’s housing committee.

ASPIRATIONS Burnaby Hospital: “A great aspiration, the pie in the sky, is to get our hospital to where it needs to be,” Hurley said. He said he will push the provincial government to fund the redevelopment of the facility and add a cancer clinic.While some have called for a completely new hospital, built at a different site, Hurley said the more realistic option is for a renovation of the existing hospital. He believes the province already has money set aside for the latter option. “If we go down the road of a new hospital, it will probably put us to the back of the queue again, and that may not be where we

2019 PLANS: Mayor Mike Hurley told the NOW about his guarantees, goals and aspirations for 2019.

PHOTOS JENNIFER GAUTHIER

IN BRIEF

Mayor will recuse himself from firefighter contract talks The next time local firefighters sit at the bargaining table with the City of Burnaby, Mayor Mike Hurley won’t be there. Hurley, a recently retired firefighter and former president of the local union, said he will recuse himself.

“It’s just too close to me,” he said.

Hurley said he stepped down as a vice-president of the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) in order to take on the top job at Burnaby City Hall.

In 2016, a long contract battle between the city and IAFF Local 323 ended in arbitration.The firefighters got what they were asking for, but not before a bitter dispute.

Hurley said he will not be involved in any aspect of the contract negotiations when the current collective agreement expires at the end of 2019.

Council going on a roadtrip need to go, given the state of our hospital,” he said. “We are the third largest city (in B.C.), and I think our hospital has been neglected for long enough.”

Asked whether he had more guarantees, goals or aspirations for the coming year, Hurley said “I think that’s pretty good for 2019.”

Hurley was less firm in his commitments to fulfilling other promises – more

crosswalks, security cameras, streamlining the permit process, reducing traffic congestion and more – within his first calendar year as mayor.

But he said he remains confident he can follow through during his four-year term.

“We didn’t make any real outlandish promises,” Hurley said. “So I think they’re all achievable.”

Never been to a Burnaby city council meeting? What if the meeting came to you?

A new initiative will see the city’s mayor, councillors and staff leave the confines of city hall twice this year to hold public meetings in new locations.

Mayor Mike Hurley told the NOW the idea is “to try and decentralize and make our citizens feel they’re a part of the decision-making in our city.”

In April, council will meet in Edmonds, followed by a field trip to North Burnaby in October, Hurley said. Exact locations and dates have yet to be determined.

Council is scheduled to meet twice in April – on the eighth and 29th – and twice in October – on the seventh and 28th. All meetings are set to begin at 6 p.m.

Hurley said the plan is meant to open up city hall and better engage Burnaby residents in local democracy.

New Westminster council makes an annual roadtrip to Queensborough for a council meeting.

You have worked hard – start enjoying life!

DPAC event to talk pot, vaping School, health and lawenforcement officials are preparing to deliver a wealth of information about cannabis and vaping to local parents next week.

The Burnaby District Parent Advisory Council is hosting a two-hour information session on the two topics Monday at Burnaby Central Secondary.

The evening will feature presentations from Fraser Health, a Boys and Girls Club substance-use counsellor, the school district and the RCMP. But don’t expect an oldtimey anti-drug presentation designed to scare parents and students straight.

“We’ve seen, over the years, it doesn’t work. Scare tactics do not work,” said Jessica Gill, the school district’s substance use prevention and health promotion worker.

The information session is designed to give parents clear, research-based information about both topics.

“Students might have parents that are vaping or using cannabis, so I don’t want to say, ‘It’s bad.You can’t be doing this,’ because

then they might not feel like they can come to school to have a conversation if they are doing that themselves or someone that they know if vaping or using cannabis or any other substance.We want to create that open environment for them.”

The district approached the parent council about hosting the information session after it heard from a number of parents with

questions about the new cannabis legislation that came into effect in October.

The district posted information on its website, but more was needed, according to safe schools coordinator Sue Dorey.

A Fraser Health nurse will also be on hand to show parents how to administer naloxone.

The information session will run from 7 to 9 p.m.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

High marks for B.C.’s new high school curriculum

The world is changing as fast as the internet will allow, and high school education must change along with it.

For young people who learn what happens in the world around them from social media and their peers, high school has to be compelling, relevant and meaningful.

It’s for this reason that the secondary school curriculum has to change.

At first glance, the new Grade 10 to 12 curriculum appears to offer the flexibility teens need to explore

ideas and concepts that are important to them.

Today’s young people are used to consuming – whether it be media, information, consumer goods or food – so it makes sense for the new high school curriculum to offer a wide menu of choices.

No longer will high school students simply take math, English or social studies.The new curriculum allows for a high degree of choice.

By Grade 11, for example, after taking either Foundations of Mathemat-

ics and Pre-cal 10 or Workplace Mathematics 10, students have a choice of five math courses – including the History Of Mathematics or Computer Science, laddering up to as many as seven math courses in Grade 12, including Geometry 12 or Statistics 12.

No longer do students have to be stuck in a single path, they can delve more deeply in a wider array of topics.

Science is also similarly blessed with a wide array of topics, and once again after Grade 10, when a sin-

gle Science 10 stand-alone course is offered, students can choose one of six chemistry courses in either Grade 11 or 12.

Similarly, Social Studies 11 or 12 have numerous course offerings, from Economic Theory to Asian Studies, Law Studies and Comparative Cultures.

Another important element of high school will also be Indigenous Studies, which students will be learning all the way through their grades but can explore more deeply in high school, with courses such as B.C.

First Peoples and Contemporary Indigenous Studies.

These courses will encourage students to learn more about our province’s First Nations, an element of Canadian history that for many years was barely discussed in schools. And even when it was, the information was often inaccurate or poorly explained.

There will be some parents who are concerned about the changes to the curriculum and what the impact will be for students moving on to post-secondary education.

But a close look at the curriculum reveals there will still be provincial exams and letter grades that will closely mirror the expectations of colleges and universities.

Can education be better?

Does it makes sense to review the curriculum regularly to ensure it is appropriate for a modern context?

Absolutely.

But for now, the new high school curriculum appears to be meeting students where they are now and guiding them towards an uncertain but no less promising future.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Don’t bet on a B.C. election in 2019 Speculation about a 2019 B.C. election is rampant because of the fragility of the NDP-Green alliance that forms the current government.

Don’t bet on it.

Even if the BC NDP loses the Nanaimo byelection and a 43-43 seat tie is produced for the legislature, do not expect a sudden vote.

Such a tie would make governing difficult, but not impossible.The government can only fall from power in a confidence vote, and such a vote only happens once or twice a year.

If a tie occurs, the Speaker must vote with the government to ensure the legislative chamber continues to operate.

In addition, there is nothing stopping the NDP from changing a few of the “rules” of the legislative playbook to make life easier for them.

The current Speaker – independent MLA Darryl Plecas – is unpredictable, to say the least. He has threatened to resign if the public does not agree with his take on why the legislature’s chief clerk and sergeant-atarms were placed on administrative leave.

Plecas also seems to enjoy the trappings of his office, and I would be surprised if he steps aside. Still, he is a wild card in any early election speculation (even if he did quit, he would sit as an Independent and would not likely be the one to take the government down).

And forget talk about possible recall campaigns against Plecas and Attorney

General David Eby. Like previous recall campaigns, they are doomed to failure, as the recall bar is set high in terms of the number of signatures required in a tight timeframe.

As for the B.C. Greens, can the party’s three MLAs be counted on to continuing to prop the NDP into power, having lost a disastrous referendum for them on electoral reform?

While it is true the Greens have little to show for accomplishments after partnering with the NDP (in fact, the list of the NDP’s rejection of Green policies is a long one: completing Site C, bringing the LNG industry to the province), I do not see any of the three bolting from their deal.

Two other factors are on the horizon, likely guaranteeing no 2019 election.

The pensions for a number of MLAs on all sides of the legislature are vested on June 1. If they stop being an MLA before then (which happens when an election writ is dropped), then byebye pensions.

Secondly, all political parties get generous taxpayer subsidies now to run their affairs.The BC Liberals are looking at picking up nearly $1 million on July 1. I cannot see the party turning its back on that cash by forcing a spring election for any reason.

Now, an election next year? That seems more plausible (though still unlikely).

Landlords not raking it in

Editor: Re: Burnaby landlords need to stop complaining about their profits, NOW letters, Jan. 3 Please stop with the landlords-are-raking-inthe-cash drivel.

Fact: rate of return for Burnaby multi-family buildings may be 2.5 to 4.5 per cent. That means if you buy it for $500,000, you only get a 2.5-to-4.5per-cent return. If you choose to use leverage – i.e. take more risk – then that increases to maybe six to seven per cent, if you’re lucky.

“Rent increase is capped at inflation. Laughable. Rents in Vancouver have skyrocketed during the past decades.”

Fact: Yes it is tied to inflation, but you are confusing an annual increase with a turned-over suite. If a tenant moves out, the landlord can charge the next tenant the market rate, whatever that is. If you remain in the unit, the landlord has to abide by the statutory limit.

“The eviction process is long and costly. …

Absurd.”

Fact: if a tenant doesn’t pay rent and it takes a month or more to evict them, does that not equal a month or more of lost rent? What if you didn’t get all your paycheques? Is that not absurd as well? What’s wrong with getting paid for services rendered?

“Yes, we have a rental housing crisis in the Lower Mainland.”

Fact: We need more supply to bring down prices. Developers need incentives to build rentals from the cities or they will keep building condos, which are more profitable. Talk to your mayor and city councillors about this. And please do some

research before you demonize people trying to make a living.

Craig Buvyer, Burnaby

Houses are big enough

Editor: I am so disappointed that (the issue of making houses bigger) is even a question being discussed by Burnaby city council.

The only people who think that they need bigger houses in order to have space for a basement suite are the people who have built houses already the maximum size allowed.

If what is being discussed gets allowed, then anyone who has built extra square footage under their roof – a crawl space, a deck – they then could finish these spaces, put in a sink, a stove, a fridge and such, get approved, then never rent any space at all. They just get bigger houses.

After the inspector leaves, who is going to check that these people are really adding rental space?

Who benefits? The people with the big houses benefit by getting bigger houses.

All that really should come from this discussion is a tightening of the bylaws so that houses are only built with “allowable square footage under the roof.” No more crawl spaces, no more decks, to be finished after the inspector leaves.

Now get on with the discussion of making housing affordable for families. Make the big houses into duplexes and multiple independent addresses.

Get creative. Build two-level townhouses with yards on the bottom levels of buildings, then build condos above.

City now Complaint over joke dismissed Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

*Warning:This story contains adult language.

The B.C. Human Rights Tribunal has dismissed the complaint of a woman who was allegedly told “inappropriate dad jokes” of a sexual nature at a Safeway store.

Brianne Duke was shopping at the Kensington Square Safeway in North Burnaby in October 2017, when she was approached by an employee who said he had “inappropriate dad jokes” to tell her, according to a Dec. 11 tribunal ruling.

She said the employee had then told her a number of jokes of a sexual nature.

The incident sparked a complaint letter to Sobey’s West Inc., which owns the Safeway store.

The letter called the jokes “inappropriate and unprofessional” and requested a public apology and a $250 gift card.

Sobey’s investigated, and one of the employees admitted to the incident. “(He) explained that he had been cleaning and straightening the spice aisle,

at which time he had asked a number of customers and other staff if he could tell them an inappropriate joke, and, if they agreed, he asked ‘What did the prostitute say when they were late for an appointment? I’m cumin,’ referencing the spice cumin that he held up to the individual,” stated the ruling.

The employee was disciplined, according to the ruling, and Sobey’s sent Duke an email with an apology and an offer to provide a $250 gift card.

After getting the gift card and apology, Duke told Sobey’s she no longer felt comfortable shopping at the store as long as the employee was working there.

She then filed the human rights complaint, alleging the Safeway employee’s behaviour amounted to discrimination on the basis of sex, contrary to the B.C. Human Rights Code.

“She no longer feels she can safely access the store without being sexually harassed,” states the ruling.

But tribunal member Catherine McCreary dismissed her complaint.

The employee’s behav-

iour may have been sex discrimination, McCreary decided, but Sobey’s appeared to have dealt with Duke’s complaint as soon as possible.

She noted Duke had called for further measures only after Sobey’s had already acquiesced.

“It does not further the purposes of the code to encourage a complainant to increase what is sought, after they receive what they initially ask for,” McCreary wrote.

When asked by the NOW why she launched the complaint after Sobey’s had already issued an apology, Duke said: “I guess it was so that it could be acknowledged as sexual harrassment.”

Duke said she didn’t know the employee personally but had had interactions with him before.

“He’s very talkative with customers in general, to the point where it’s sometimes annoying,” she said.

Duke said she was satisfied with the tribunal’s decision and “glad it was at least recognized as sexual harassment.”

This isn’t your uncle’s basement home-brew Owner fighting to keep the doors open at Burnaby u-brew shop Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

“Can I try some?”

It’s just four little words, but Burnaby Brewing Company owner Jesse Shepherd is sick of hearing them.

Burnaby Brewing is a family-owned u-brew and u-vin operation located on Underhill Avenue. Shepherd and his family bought the brewery last year.

Burnaby Brewing advises and provides its clients with the ingredients and equipment to make their own beer, wine or cider. Like all u-brew and u-vin establishments, Burnaby Brewing sells beer and wine by the batch that start at $140 and equal to six 24-packs of beer or 30 bottles of wine.

But people don’t often want to spend $150 on 144 cans of beer they’ve never tried. And they can’t try it.

That’s against the law, and it’s Shepherd’s biggest gripe.

According to B.C. liquor laws, the business is not a licensed liquor manufacturer and, therefore, cannot offer or sell any samples of finished products to the public.

“How am I supposed to sell six flats of beer to somebody without them trying it? I understand we’re not a pub, we’re not a tasting room, but that much beer?

Come on,” he said.

Shepherd wants the province to review the regulations that control the u-brew and u-vin industry. He’s not asking for much, he said, just a few minor amend-

ments to help businesses continue to operate.

“When you hear u-brew, you think ‘Oh it’s my uncle making beer in his basement.’ It’s shitty.We have the same equipment as big breweries, just, instead of 50,000-gallon kettles, we’ve got a 10,000-gallon kettle.

We have the same materials, the same products, and we pump out the same quality of beer and sometimes actually a lot better,” he said.

Burnaby Brewing specializes in on-site production of all-grain beers, and Shepherd prides himself on sourcing out the best locally grown ingredients for the more than 100 varieties available at the brewery.

“Once you drink the beer from here for, like, a month or two, and you actually go to the store and buy a beer, you can really taste the difference. And it’s not just me saying it as the owner. I noticed it years ago; that’s why I started coming here,” he said.

Burnaby Brewing also offers wine, ciders and, in the summer, wine coolers.

Everything is customizable.That means, if you like a certain kind of beer but you’d like it to have a more citrus flavour or to be less sweet, Shepherd and his team can help make that happen, he said.

“We will let you bring in anything except for yeast,” he added.

“In the fall, we had tons of people come in with fresh bags of hops they grew in

JUST A TASTE?: Jesse Shepherd is the owner of Burnaby Brewing Company, a u-brew and u-vin facility he and his family bought last year. Provincial liquor laws prohibit u-brews from giving samples of their finished product, a rule Shepherd says is killing the u-brew and u-vin industry. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER

their backyard.”

The clients can be as involved in production as they want.The minimum requirement is they have to pour in the yeast and bottle it themselves.

But none of this matters if the business dies.

In an effort to save Burnaby Brewing, Shepherd contacted Burnaby North-Seymour MP Terry Beech who helped him connect with B.C. Attorney General David Eby’s office to ask if the province would consider a

review of u-brew and u-vin regulations.

It won’t, according to Shepherd.

“My big ask is I want to put three or four of our kegs on tap and do one- to threeounce samples, just so people can get an idea that we have good quality beer,” he said.

Shepherd thinks that would stop the hemorrhaging his business and other u-brews and u-vins that are suffering.There are only a handful of businesses left,

and Shepherd is worried his won’t survive the year if something doesn’t change.

“I’m down here every day, all day. I’ve gotten to meet our customers.We have a lot of customers that actually come in and they don’t have much of a social life, so when they come here to talk to me or (brewmaster) Jordan (Patrich) for an hour, hour-and-a-half, it’s kind of like the highlight of their week,” he said.

Shepherd hopes business will turn around, but he’s

a realistic guy. He’s back working as a structural iron worker and welder during the week to help make ends meet and to avoid any layoffs.The thought that, after 25 years, Burnaby Brewing Company might have to close is a hard pill to swallow for the man who just bought it.

“I knew it was going to be hard,” he said. “We’ve serviced Burnaby for so many years and the new people moving in, they don’t know about us.”

MOVERS & SHAKERS

There’s a new place to buy your booze in North Burnaby.

JAK’s Beer,Wine and Spirits opened in December at its newest location at Parkcrest mall and it was celebrated with a bang – literally.There was a champagne sabering, ribbon cutting, wine tastings and appies.

The liquor store also decided to mark the occasion by raising some money for the Greater Vancouver Food

Bank. It donated 10 per cent of its opening day sales to the food bank plus 100 per cent of the profits from a silent auction.

All together that amounted to more than $2,000 for the food bank.Well done!

JAK’s is located at Parkcrest mall, 5901 Broadway.

FUNDRAISERS A SUCCESS We’ve got some good news to report.

Two recent fundraisers helped make the holidays a little brighter for people in need.

First up, the Tree of Hope event held at Crest Plaza

on Dec. 22.This event saw business owners and residents drop off non-perishable donations and cash for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank. In all $1,305 was raised and 724 food items were collected and donated to the food bank.

The fundraiser was organized by Aruna NB Khan, Gloria Cooper and Geoff Jarman.

Next up, the young people of HYPE, a group of young Korean Canadian professionals from Burnaby and surrounding cities that gets together to network and get involved in the community, managed to sur-

pass their fundraising goal recently.

The group set out in December to raise money and collect food for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank.The goal was to raise $500 and collect 500 pounds of nonperishable food items.Well, on Dec. 21 Mark Seong, chair of HYPE, confirmed the group had actually managed to collect 600 pounds of food items.

Way to go everyone!

Q: WHAT DOES THE HEIGHTS MEAN TO YOU? I’ve lived in North Burnaby my entire life, and the Heights was a place I regularly visited growing up with my family and friends. We spent many days and nights visiting the various shops and restaurants, frequenting the parks and recreation centre as well as watching movies at Dolphin theatre. I’ve always wanted to have an office in the area I grew up in and establish a presence in the community.

Michael Mollica is an independent advisory and principal at MGM Financial, located at 4561 Hastings St. Mollica has lived in North Burnaby all his life and jumped at the chance to set up shop in the Heights.

Heights, I couldn’t pass it up.

Q: HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED IN THIS BUSINESS? From a very young age I’ve had an interest in numbers and finance. Shortly after graduating from Burnaby North I got a job at one of the big local banks. It gave my first taste of the banking and finance world. While I was there I decided that it would be good to get some further education so I enrolled in a

business program at BCIT, later graduating in corporate finance. I then moved on to working for one of the oldest and well-respected wealth management firms in Vancouver. That was where my passion for numbers and finance were met with the desire to help people achieve their financial goals and dreams. I realized shortly thereafter that I wanted to move on and build my own independent advisory firm, so I ventured out on my own back

in 2009. We operated out of a shared office space in North Burnaby until opening up our new space in The Heights.

Q: WHAT PLANS DO YOU HAVE FOR THE FUTURE? We want to continue to grow our team and presence within The Heights while servicing our clients throughout the lower mainland. Our goal is to continue to be a leader in the independent advisory space for every community we serve.

Fresh beginnings start today, just don’t get too hung up on it Isabel Kolic

special to the NOW

Are you like me, where last year’s new year’s resolution has become this year’s new year resolution?

My 2017 vacation photo album is still not completed, but who’s judging? Not me. Well, maybe I am a little bit annoyed at myself.

There is a lot of positive talk circulating through the media this week about using January’s turning of a new year to consider all of our blessings and achievements of the previous years rather than put pressure on ourselves for what we wish to accomplish in the year before us.

I don’t disagree with this, and I have to tell you I do count my blessings every day of the year, and not only in January.

But January is still a useful time to reflect on those things that you still want to try, explore, or do. And your own neighbourhood is a good place to start.

Maybe you want to learn

how to bake, or cook a different ethnic cuisine. We have a shop for that! It’s called Posh Pantry. And you can pick up your ingredients from one of our many excellent grocery stores, from Safeway to Cioffi’s and even places you might not have thought of - did you

know Fortuna Bakery carries a whole range of Portuguese and Mediterranean specialty food products?

Or you might have a hankering to try yoga, or take it up again after a long absence.

Moda Yoga welcomes all yogis – the motivated and the procrastinators, too. Or get fit in another way; the Heights is home to several great gyms

and workout centres, including Dyer Fitness, Anytime Fitness, EZ Fit, or Positive Shift Personal Training.

You could be wondering about dance, perhaps? Tap or Flamenco? Contact The Rhythm Room and they’ll get your feet stomping in no time.

Or you are possibly tired of the haircut you’ve had for the last couple of years and want to take the plunge on something else. The Heights has plenty of great stylists and barbers to choose from. Then, afterwards, for an even greater makeover, head over to Chickadee Boutique, Tailored Flare or J&M Alterations to pick up something new to slip on.

See? It’s not that difficult! So go ahead: use January to stretch, grow, and learn ... but for goodness sake, don’t make a list to beat yourself up about 12 months from now.

Meanwhile, I’ll be over here, working on my photo album.

Communitynow Resolve to volunteer with Burnaby Family Life this year kgawley@burnabynow.com

Have you made your NewYear’s resolutions yet?

Maybe 2019 will finally be the year you eat more salads, hit the gym every week and read some of those books collecting dust on your shelves. But there’s also a commitment you can make to benefit yourself and your community – volunteering with Burnaby Family Life.

You could become a vital part of a child-care program by setting up, preparing snacks and cleaning – but, more importantly, you can develop a special relationship with the children, according to volunteer coordi-

nator Diane Doyle.

“Sometimes you see joy, and that can really help for you to see some of the good things in life, some of the simpler things in life, some of the wonder in life that we kind of lose when we’re an adult,” Doyle said.

Burnaby Family Life currently has more than 50 weekly volunteer shifts open, she said. Most of the help is needed in assisting child-care programs for kids ages three to five.

Volunteers with language skills, including Farsi, Arabic and Mandarin, often help staff better connect with the children, Doyle said.

Doyle said volunteers play a vital role in the non-

profit’s work, but they also get “a very positive sense of contribution” themselves.

“That idea of giving is just as good as – or, in some cases, better than – receiving, where you’re contrib-

uting your skills, your time, your energy,” she said. “And that gives a sense of self worth ...When you’re helping other people, you help yourself.”

Anyone interested in vol-

FREE

unteering is invited to attend an information session at 1 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 11 at 6149 McKercher Ave. (off Kingsway).To register for the session, contact Doyle by phone 604-

312-3243 or email ddoyle@ burnabyfamilylife.org.

Doyle asks that potential volunteers commit to three months and must allow a criminal record check.

Communitynow Parents, don’t feel guilty if you can’t be at all the kids’ games Mommy’s

GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

When my oldest first joined her basketball team, I was excited to get to cheer her on from the sidelines.

In the beginning, I was there for every practice and every game.Then, one day, out of nowhere, she asked me not to stay.

I was hurt, but I obliged, respecting my daughter’s wishes. But it didn’t take long for the guilt to set in.

Not only did I feel like I was failing as a parent for not going to every game (and for having a child who didn’t want me to watch), but I was overwhelmed with worry about what other parents would think of my absence.

The problem with parenting today is that it is no longer just about you and your children. It has become a public affair, each moment oozing with ogling knowit-alls who are eager to tell you that you’re doing it all wrong.

When I would pull up outside the gym to pick up my daughter after her games, parents would give me supercilious side glanc-

es as they escorted their kids to the car. Some would encourage me to go to the games anyways, while others seemed sympathetic – as though my daughter was rightfully rejecting me for good reason.

When I read the headline of a recent story shared on PopSugar titled, Parents, Going to Every One ofYour Kids’ Games Matters More ThanYou Know, my heart sank. Had I made the wrong choice? Should I have followed her into every game anyways, despite her requests for me to refrain?

The author of the article explains that having her parents at every game proved that she could rely on them, that her parents – despite both having busy careers – never missed one game.

After reading the full article, my guilt subsided as I realized that this was one person’s perspective – she certainly didn’t speak for everyone.

My daughter later explained to me that she hadn’t meant to hurt my feelings, but that it was hard for her to concentrate when I was there, always in her periphery.When she explained it to me in her own words, I understood. Some-

times our children just thrive better when they’re not thwarted by our presence. Knowing that I wanted to be there was enough for her. She needed some time to find her footing and perfect her skill.

My daughter has always been independent. She loves having her own personal space, and respecting her wishes was a symbol of my trust – something that, for her, means more than my presence.

With three kids spread across eight extracurricular activities, I will likely never be able to make it to every game, dance recital, band concert, or karate belt test, and that’s OK. If my children find my attendance to be an unwanted distraction, I’m happy to give them the space they need, and if they’d prefer to see a familiar face on the sidelines, I’ll be there as often as I can.Whether you’re supporting their sports from the sidelines, or just letting them know that you will support them in spirit, they will love you just the same.

Communitynow Meet your neighbour: Robert Stewart This article is part of a regular monthly series between the Burnaby NOW and Burnaby Neighbourhood House.

The stories in this series will highlight the neighbours who live in Burnaby and their personal histories, showing the diversity of the city and the importance of creating a sense of belonging and helping each other.

ROBERT STEWART “I’m not from Burnaby – I was born and raised in California and came here at 18. My father was a theatre manager, and we moved around a lot. I remember what it was like in the early 1970s – just a laid-back, sleepy place.

“What a change – looking at it now, it is more like L.A. “My father ran the SFU theatre for quite a few years.

Eventually, he was offered another job and once again, my family moved.This time, they moved without me.

I had started to set down roots here and decided to stay. More importantly, I had met my Sandy.

“Music has been my other love and a huge part of my life. I will never forget the day my dad took me to my first concert – Santana.The warm-up act was an unknown singer, and he was so amazing he should

have been the main event – his name was StevieWonder.Through my dad’s connections, I was able to meet some of the most important musicians of my time David Crosby, Joni Mitchel and many more – they helped shape me into the eclectic music lover I am today.

“I have played many different types of music, from folk to rhythm and blues, but I always gravitate back to classic rock. I was 16 when I started to play in my first band. It was a Christian band, and I was the youngest of the group. It is hard to

explain what you learn while playing with a band; the challenge of learning new styles, blending with other artists.You come to admire other people’s talents, and it drives you to become a better musician.

“My advice on becoming a musician and balancing your family life? Marry a musician. Sandy plays the guitar and sings.Truthfully, it wasn’t always easy, and I was rarely home before we had children. I almost missed the entire first year of my daughter’s life, so I decided to stop playing for a while. I chose fam-

ily over music, and I have to say I have never regretted my decision. My life has had much more balance, raising a family, working and volunteering in my community.

“Volunteering was something Sandy got me into – she really does have a heart of gold. She is always doing something for someone. I started volunteering as a soccer coach and, just recently, I began helping young musicians find their passions and voice on stage.

I run an open mic and it fits me perfectly.To see so many new and experienced performers on stage, sharing their talents with the community. Everyone should have a chance to be on stage. It will change your life – it certainly changed mine.” !

Robert Stewart is an experienced musician and a founding member of the bands Rainshadow and Silver Brothers. He is also the host of the Burnaby Neighbourhood House Open Mic. The Burnaby Neighbourhood House is a charitable, non-profit organization. See www.burnabynh.ca.

Happy new year: Susan Inouye and Jason Chang hold their new baby girl, Katherine Yume Chang. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR

Welcome Burnaby’s first baby of the year There was no frantic NewYear’s Eve taxi ride to Burnaby Hospital for this city’s first baby of the year.

No – in a manner befitting her two accountant parents – KatherineYume Chang made an orderly arrival at 9:03 a.m. on New Year’s Day via a scheduled caesarean section.

Weighing in at 5 lbs. and 14 ounces, Katherine is Susan Inouye and Jason Chang’s first girl and will take her place in the back of the family’s new minivan with brothers Nathan,

2, and Matthew, 5.

“I’m looking forward to the girl stuff, the sequins and the dance classes and that kind of stuff,” Inouye told the NOW. The baby girl’s first name will likely be shortened to “Kate,” her mom said. Her middle name was borrowed from her greatgrandmother.

The North Burnaby couple says they’re done with having babies, but they gave props to Burnaby Hospital for each of the labours.

Q A

It has now been almost a year since we had to leave the Sears store due to Sears bankruptcy.

It has been also 8 months since our new store (which combines our Sears store and our old Richmond store) opened.

It has been an exciting time as we expanded to double the size of our former two stores combined.

Our selection of coins and bills that are on display is better than any other dealer in B.C. I have always believed that if a customer cannot see it on display that it is unlikely to be asked for.

We also have an entire room for stamp collectors to look at stamps, stamp packages and collections of stamps that we have in stock.

With only one store now I am there 6 days a week (instead of 3 in each store)so people that need to deal with me are able to.

We are still one of the largest buyers of scrap gold (ie broken or unwanted jewellery) in Richmond.

I have a special machine that tests the Karat of the gold and you can watch me as I test it.

Many dealers still use the acid testing which is a lot less accurate and can lead to being paid less than price.

With the new store we have become a large dealer in Gold and Silver bullion.

I show what other dealers are either buying or selling and pay more than them and sell for less.

We carry all the types of Silver bars from the 1 ounce to 100 ounces,as well as Canadian Silver Maple Leafs .

I also carry a selection of collector bars including Engelhard and Johnson Matthey.

Come in and visit our new store. We have had many of our Sears Burnaby customers already show up and I am hoping you will too.

Thank You

Q A

My child is having trouble learning, do they have a learning disability (LD)?

80% of referrals to psychologists who specialize in school are for kids who cannot read words, spell, do math, write or pay attention as well as their peers.

MAUREEN MACKINNONIt’s possible your child has a learning MCQUARRIE, PH.D. disability, but not necessarily. Kids can get stressed out and be distracted by feelings, physical sensations (e.g. stomach feels funny), thoughts (I can’t read), and experiences (no friends). Mindfulness can help kids be aware of what is on their mind in the moment, reduce stress and improve focus (see MindShift, Mind Yeti apps).

Psychologists rule out stressors and a lack of instruction before diagnosing a learning disability. A psychologist’s diagnosis opens the door to helpful practices, instruction, materials and technology for a child with a learning disability.

Has your child been screened for learning disability?

ASK A HOME INSPECTOR

Q A

How can a pre-listing inspection sell houses faster?

Now that most homes are getting inspected, sellers face two options: they can take control of the inspection process or let the buyer take control. If the buyer controls David Asselin the process, it can create delays, lead Inspector to renegotiations, increase stress and sometimes even kill the deal. But if the seller gets the inspection done at the beginning of the transaction, it will sell the house faster since everything is upfront and will assure that the first accepted offer moves to closing. If the buyer gets his own home inspection, it will reinforce trust and credibility, a positivity that can help push sale price higher. A pre-listing inspection sets the listing apart and builds buyers’ confidence which often results in more offers.

If you are considering selling your home, get it inspected and stay in the driver’s seat. Inspect Canada is the only home inspection firm that specializes in pre-listing inspections.

I see that gold has gone up a lot in November and December. I had been planning to bring in my old gold jewelry and was wondering if this means that scrap gold has gone up.

Since the beginning of November gold has gone up $1214 US to $1294 as of today. That is a $80 US dollar jump. However the Canadian dollar has gone down and that increases gold. Gold went from $1615 CDN to a high of $1750 CDN before settling at $1720 today. This is a $105 Canadian jump. We calculate or price for gold jewelry every day and with the price increasing, so are our prices.

Should my bonus go to the mortgage or RRSP?

Contributing to your RRSP allows your retirement savings to grow tax-free and provides a tax deduction in the year you contribute, perhaps even a tax refund. A mortgage HOWARD LOUIE Manager, Mortgage Broker deposit is also beneficial. These funds go directly toward the mortgage principal, so no future interest is ever compounded on that portion. You can save tremendous amounts of interest this way, and shorten the total time required to pay off your mortgage.

Your bonus is best spent on either a contribution to your RRSP or a deposit to your mortgage. So how about this: use the bonus for an immediate RRSP contribution and, when you get your corresponding tax refund, promptly use that amount as a mortgage deposit. With this strategy, you’ll get double the bang for your bonus buck.

Sportsnow Strong group added to sports hall The captain of Canada’s only FIFA World Cup soccer squad, who played with and against some of the game’s greats, will be among a strong class inducted into the Burnaby Sports Hall of Fame next month at a banquet at Metrotown’s Firefighters Hall.

Bruce Wilson’s formative soccer years were spent in Burnaby playing for Norburn AC, which won the 1966/67 provincial championship before he moved on to a stellar professional career in the North American Soccer League.

Wilson will join lacrosse legends Eric Cowieson and Alex Carey, Simon Fraser University women’s softball coach Mike Renney, auto racing pioneer Al Ores, minor lacrosse builder George Pittendrigh, Burnaby Lake Rowing Club mainstay Glen Smith and the 2009 Burnaby Lake Rugby Club women’s team for the gala event on Feb. 28.

Wilson made 57 international appearances for Canada, including the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, where they reached the quarterfinals. He also captained Canada at the 1986 FIFA World Cup in Mexico.

Carey, an East Burnaby product, won a Minto Cup with the junior Mount Pleasant Legion team in 1956 and was on a pair of Mann Cup championship teams from Vancouver. He accumulated 228 goals and 251 assists for 479 points in 334 regular season games.

Chancellor offers test for 3-A contenders

Byrne Creek, St.Thomas More get glimpse of playoff intensity this week Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

It’s a signpost to the season that for some teams says ‘merge.’ For others, it’s a green light.

The St.Thomas More senior boys Chancellor tournament signals a new stage of the season for its participants, and for the squad that puts it on. It offers a chance to turn expectations into achievements.

As STM Knights coach Aaron Mitchell views it, there are few better places to measure your competitive spirit than in the hardwood court Burnaby gym at STMC. “It’s always exciting,” said Mitchell, who works alongside head coach Michael Cheung and assistant Karol Cybula. “We talk a lot about loyalty and honour, and from a personal perspective those are a big part of how we design this tournament.

“We’ve had teams come, (that) in a few years when their programs are stronger they go on to (Terry Fox’s) Legal Beagle. Every year I tell nearly the same 15 teams that they are welcome back, and we’ve got a good group of teams that keep returning.”

Terry Fox’s tourney coincides with STM’s series but has a firm 4-A focus. But for the 3-A senior boys circuit, you won’t find a better collection of talents pre-B.C.s than at the Chancellor.

The crosstown rival Byrne Creek Bulldogs are one of the main draws this season, coming off last year’s secondplace finish at the B.C.s.They entered the new year No. 1 on the polling charts.

Their target remains getting back to the Langley Events Centre, and an event like STM’s tourney meets all the requirements when it comes to preparing them for that day.

“I think the big thing is we want to see after the break that our energy level is where we want it to be, and get up for some tough competition,” noted Byrne head coach Bal Dhillon. “We have to be ready bright and early to go.”

That last reference also hints at the Bulldogs’ 8:30 a.m. opening game on Wednesday (past NOW deadline), against unranked Brookswood. Not usually an ideal time time to play, when players are usually scrambling to get into class on the right side of the school bell.

But, to feel playoff-like intensity, you sometimes have to do the early-bird thing, making ‘rise and shine’ a credo every team hopes to reach.

The Knights face Richmond’s McNair, at noon, in a game that will benefit from a packed gym.

“At this point of the season, do coaches want to win these tournaments? Absolutely, but most of all they want to play competitive games, and that’s what we go for when we make the schedule,” said Mitchell.

Some other teams in the tourney include No. 2-ranked North Delta, No. 3 Sir Charles Tupper, No. 4 G.W. Graham, No. 5 Duchess Park of Prince George, No. 9 Rick Hansen, McMath, Maple Ridge and Centennial.

Action continues through the week.The final tips off at 6 p.m. on Saturday at STM.

Major changes put jr. Lakers in playoff discussion

Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

When it comes to charting a new course, the Burnaby junior A Lakers are not paying lip service.

The B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League club is in transformation mode, with general manager Brad Parker pulling all the levers at his disposal to push the once-proud franchise back into the conversation when it comes to playoffs.

In the past month, he’s overhauled the coaching staff, made a handful of trades and added a number of young faces to the team’s prospect list.

“It may sound trite, but I do believe that saying of ‘If you build it, they will come,’” said Parker, call-

ing on a famous quote from the baseball film Field of Dreams.

Although it wasn’t the most recent piece to the puzzle, the largest move was getting lacrosse legend Russ Heard into the head coaching job, replacing Jason Dallavalle.

Heard, a Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame member who served as an assistant with the New West senior A Salmonbellies until last year and served as head coach of the Lakers’ midget A squad, brings instant credibility as well as a major hometown connection.

“I’ve known Russ for a while but really got to know him this past year,” said Parker, who took on the general manager duties a year ago. “He’s iconic in terms of Burnaby lacrosse history, and we

felt he brings extensive knowledge and experience to the job.”

Dallavalle resigned to spend more time with his family.The club finished dead-last with a 2-18-1 record and in the past five seasons have never placed above sixth. Considering the program dominated the Canadian jr. lacrosse scene for a decade between 1996 and 2007, the past 10 years have been hard to swallow.

“It didn’t get this way overnight, and we’ve suffered from not having a lot of kids coming up from the minors and not having many draft picks,” Parker said.The team addressed its draft picks issue also in the past week.

Burnaby filled a big part of the void by picking eight players in the

midget draft’s first six rounds on Saturday, including taking Semiahmoo’s Sam LaRoue first overall pick.The 6-foot-3 forward was a big part of the provincial silver medal winning program. “(LaRoue) is a very well-rounded player, a right-handed offensive guy who can play defence, who has size. I wouldn’t be surprised if he walked into camp and earned a (junior A spot) right away.”

Prior to the draft, Parker flipped former top-five midget draft pick and offensive sparkplugs Ryan Johannson and Dryden Valade to PoCo for LaRoue’s older brother, lefthander Francis ‘Butch’ LaRoue, and Brandon Goff.

At last year’s trade deadline, Parker shipped veterans Mack

Burns and Patrick Shoemay – who was voted the league’s top defender – to New West for a parcel of picks and prospects. Although both players’ rights reverted back to Burnaby at the end of the season, the Lakers swapped the pair last week to the ’Bellies for Dylan McCormick and Kinsale Philip, the New West Hyacks’ high school football quarterback and linebacker, as well as a fourth-round pick.

Parker feels the incoming young talent are a great fit for a program that is eager to push for the playoffs this summer.

“My goal is to bring the Mann Cup back to Burnaby,” remarked Parker. “I think we’re younger, bigger and faster, and we’re built from the back on out.”

Continued from page 26 in North Burnaby. He was a member of the Burnaby Cablevision 1977 Mann Cup champions. Cowieson went on to play 18 seasons – including captain for 14 of those years – with the New Westminster Salmonbellies, winning the Mann Cup four times.

In the builders category, Ores, Pittendrigh and Smith are being honoured for their dedication and contributions in the areas of auto racing, lacrosse and rowing, respectively.

Renney is entering in as a coach, having piloted the Simon Fraser University women’s softball team since 1994. Over a span of 20 years, his squads won four NAIA titles and sent 20 athletes to play for Canada’s senior team. Renney also coached at three Olympics.

Burnaby / Tri-Cities

2018’s Metro Vancouver home sales lowest in 18 years A combination of unsustainably high home prices, rising interest rates, increased taxes and the mortgage stress test are being held responsible for slow residential real estate market activity in Metro Vancouver, according to statistics released January 3.

There were 24,619 home sales across Metro Vancouver in 2018, which is the lowest fullyear total since 2000, and 31.6 per cent lower than 2017, the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) reported. This figure is also 25 per cent below the 10-year average annual home sales for the region.

Phil Moore, REBGV president, said, “This past year has been a transition period for the Metro Vancouver housing market away from the sellers’ market conditions we experienced in previous years. High home prices, rising interest rates and new mortgage requirements and taxes all contributed.”

The board also reported on statistics for December alone, in which Metro Vancouver home sales plunged year-over-year by 46.8

per cent to 1,072 units. This is also 36 per cent lower than the 1,608 sales in November 2018 as potential buyers concerned themselves more with festivities than home purchases.

ENTERING A BUYER’S MARKET Sellers also responded to both the slowing market and the holiday season by staying on the sidelines. There were just 1,407 homes newly listed for sale on the MLS® in Metro Vancouver in December, which is 25.6 per cent lower than in December 2017 and a 59.3 per cent decrease in the month November 2018.

With absorption rates low, the total number of homes currently listed in Metro Vancouver is 10,275, a 47.7 per cent increase compared with the low inventory of December 2017.

However, it’s 16.5 per cent lower than the active listings of November this year.

Combining all property types, the sales-toactive listings ratio for December 2018 is 10.4 per cent. That means that for the first time in many years Metro Vancouver has entered

buyer’s market territory. As ever, the market varies by property type, with detached homes already in a very firm buyer’s market at just 7.1 per cent, and townhomes and condos still holding onto balanced market conditions – although sliding – at 12 per cent and 14.2 per cent respectively.

With buyers gaining control, home prices slid a little further downwards in December. The board’s composite benchmark home price (all property types combined) ended 2018 at $1,032,400, a 2.7 per cent decrease from that of December 2017.

“As the total supply of homes for sale began to accumulate in the spring, we began to see downward pressure on prices across all home types throughout the latter half of the year,” said Moore.

Home prices vary widely in different areas throughout the region. To get a good idea of home prices in a specific location and by property type, check the detailed MLS® Home Price Index in the full REBGV stats package.

GODFREY, Isabella (nee PRICE) August 2, 1922 - January 2, 2019 Long time New Westminster resident Isabella (Ella) Godfrey passed away at George Derby Centre at the age of 96. Born in Montreal to George and Alice Price and raised in the small town of Melocheville, Quebec, Isabella’s independent and adventurous spirit led her, at 20, to join the Canadian Women’s Army Corp, and to spend 1944-46 in London, England. On VE Day in Piccadilly Circus she met Howard Godfrey, who served in the RAF and RCAF from 1939-45. After the war, and a brief stop at home, she travelled alone to New Westminster to marry him. During the next 39 years she and Howard raised four children, and became immersed in life in their Sapperton neighbourhood. Isabella was involved with the PTA, the Girl Guides, Knox Presbyterian Church, Minor Girls Softball and Little League. Isabella was a longtime member of the Royal Canadian Legion, a tireless Poppy Fund Chair, and the First Women to be elected President Legion Branch 2, New Westminster, for which she was awarded the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal in 2002.

After Howard’s death in 1984, Isabella joined a seniors’ cycling club, traveled to England to help build a canal boat, and lived an active life till a stroke in 2011.

After being a volunteer at the George Derby Veterans’ Centre for many years, Isabella became a resident there in 2012.

Isabella is survived by her family; daughters Sheila Waywanko (Michael, Evan & Steven), Muriel Honey-Richards (Jennifer & Kayce) Doug (Kathy, Colleen) and Stan (Cindy, Melanie & April), 7 greatgrandchildren who adored her, and nieces Joanne Schwartz, Jan Lewis-Casto and Dorothy Smith.

Isabella and her sister Dorothy (deceased 2014) were a familiar sight on the streets of Sapperton for many years.

A service for Isabella will be held at Knox Presbyterian Church, 403 Columbia St East, in New Westminster on Friday, January 18th at 2:00pm. The family would like to thank the caring staff at George Derby Centre for their kindness to Isabella. https://kearneyfs.com/obituaries

LEGAL/PUBLIC NOTICES DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN Application # BNSF-NW-2019 Applicant: Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) 2600 Lou Merk Drive 008-3, Fort Worth, Texas 76131.

Tel: (817) 352-2732 Agent:

Art Guite Consulting #206 - 20641 Logan Avenue, Langley, B.C. V3A 7R3 Tel: (604) 337 8016 Fax: (604) 337 8017 Email: artguiteconsulting@gmail.com

The purpose of the proposed Pest Management Plan (PMP) is to control vegetation, including noxious weeds and invasive plants, on ballast, rights-ofway, station grounds, yards, and around buildings, shops, material storage areas, crossings, and bridges using the principles of integrated pest management. The pest management methods proposed for use include hand removal and cutting, weed trimming, mowing, brush cutters, chainsaws, and the use of pesticides.

The use of pesticides is intended within the area to which PMP applies.

The PMP applies to BNSF property within their New Westminster Subdivision, and is located in proximity to the communities of White Rock, Delta, Surrey, Vancouver and New Westminster.

The common name and examples of trade names of the pesticides proposed for use under this plan include: aminocyclopyrachlor and metsulfuron-methyl (Navius), aminopyralid (Milestone), chlorsulfuron (Telar), dicamba (Vanquish), diuron (Karmex DF), flumioxazin (Payload), glyphosate (VP 480), imazapyr (Arsenal), indaziflam (Esplanade), metsulfuron methyl (Escort) and triclopyr (Garlon XRT).

Application methods include: wick/wipe on applications, truck mounted shrouded spray boom, back pack/hand held sprayers, power hose and nozzle, squirt bottles and injection tools.

The proposed duration of the PMP is from March 31, 2019 to March 31, 2024.
