Suspicious ﬁre engulfs building Police and fire officials are investigating a suspicious fire that destroyed an abandoned house in Burnaby Monday night. Fire crews were called to the building, located in the 5300 block of Byrne Road, just after 9 p.m. By the time they arrived, however, the house was already fully engulfed, according to assistant fire Chief GregYoung. “The structure was falling apart when they got there, so they weren’t able to go inside,” he told the NOW. “They just basically extinguished it from the exterior.” The building had been boarded up with plywood for years, according to Young, but he said it’s possible someone may have broken in and been living there. So far, the fire department isn’t aware of anyone having been trapped inside during the blaze, he said. “You can’t really go in and disturb the place until the investigation is done,” he said. – Cornelia Naylor

A quarter-century in Parliament followed by more than a decade of international aid work would leave most 66-year-olds eager to settle into a relaxing retirement. So why is Svend Robinson mounting a comeback? “I still have lots of energy and lots of passion to fight to make a difference, and that’s why I’m back,” he says. The former NDP MP announced Tuesday he will be running in Burnaby North–

Seymour in the Oct. 21, 2019 federal election. He will be trying to unseat incumbent Liberal Terry Beech. Robinson spoke with the NOW in an exclusive oneon-one interview about his campaign plans. He’s been door-knocking in the riding for months, sussing out a potential campaign, and he says the people he’s met remember the name and face of the prominent and longserving parliamentarian. “Many people remembered – and across party lines – remembered my work as the representative

Tears, cheers as Gordic killers sentenced

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Cheers and weeping erupted in aVancouver courtroom Friday morning when a man who plunged a knife into the heart of Burnaby teen Luka Gordic during a swarming attack in Whistler in 2015 was sentenced to life in prison. The man, who was three weeks away from his 18th birthday at the time of the attack, was sentenced as an adult for second-degree murder by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Terence Schultes. Two other men found guilty of manslaughter in the killing were sentenced as youths to 18 months in jail to be followed by 18 months of court supervision. The family was satisfied with the sentences, according to Luka’s mother, Clara Gordic, who spoke to media outside the courthouse with her husband Mitch, Luka’s dad. But nothing will ever be “finished” for Luka’s parents, according to Mitch. “It only for me will be over when I die,” he said. Clara agreed. “We’re scarred for life,” she said. Luka, 19, was swarmed by eight to 15 youths out-

side of a 7-Eleven inWhistler on the May long weekend in 2015 because of a dispute between him and one of the members of the group, 18-year-old Arvin Golic. Gordic had sent a message to Golic earlier, confronting him about mistreating his ex-girlfriend and telling him to stop. The attack lasted less than 10 seconds, ending in a fatal stab to the heart. Golic was found guilty of manslaughter in June and handed a seven-year jail sentence. On Friday, Crown prosecutor Hank Reiner called the sentences imposed on the other men convicted in the attack “reasonable” but expected them to be appealed as a matter of routine. He became emotional as he spoke to media about the case. “As a Crown, I’ve dealt with a lot of horrible cases, and this is right up there with about as bad as it gets. A completely lovely, innocent young man. He stood up to a bully and this is what he got,” he said. Schultes sentencing decision came after many delays that angered the Gordic family, but, in the end, it took less than five minutes

But as news of his impending announcement came earlier in the week, Twitter users immediately began commenting on the ring. “Just what we need another thief in Parliament,” read one tweet. Robinson said he hadn’t heard anyone raise the issue at the door. “I certainly don’t intend to run a campaign responding to trolls and tweets,” he says. “The people of this constituency realize that this was a mistake, a serious mistake that I made 15 years ago – 15 years ago. I took full responsibility at the time. I gave up the job I loved. I did community work service.” He says the people he’s spoken to are most worried about housing affordability and the environment. The riding has been the epicentre of the debate over

the Trans Mountain pipeline.With its tank farm in North Burnaby, many residents are worried about the potential impacts if the proposed expansion goes ahead. Robinson said he will be a fierce project opponent. Beech, who was one of only two Liberals to vote against the expansion project, has been ineffective in his efforts to raise his constituents’ concerns about

the pipeline, said Robinson. “He’s had no impact whatsoever,” Robinson says. “He can suck and blow as much as he wants but at the end of the day, you measure influence by results.” That’s why, Robinson says, voters need an NDP representative who will take the fight to Trudeau. “Elect enough New Democrats to make a difference instead of another ineffective Liberal backbench-

er,” he says. Reached by phone following Robinson’s announcement, Beech said he wasn’t concerned about the experience and name recognition of his new opponent. Beech said his plan won’t change: “Waking up every day and working hard for our community.” Beech said Robinson was wrong to say he’s been an ineffectual backbencher. The Liberal touted his record on the pipeline file, saying he has read every document and attended every hearing on project. “I’ve probably done more work than any other MP in the country on that particular issue,” he said. “The only people that are missing in those hearings is the NDP MPs.” Asked whether he would make a point of mentioning the ring incident during the upcoming campaign, Beech said “I will not be commenting on any of Svend’s previous criminal activity. Let other people talk about that.”

I apologize, to impose sentence today,” he said. Schultes said he would complete his written reason “well within” the appeal period. Because he has been sentenced as an adult, the man who stabbed Luka Gordic

could eventually be named, but his lawyer immediately asked Schultes to keep a ban in place to protect his identity until the end of the appeal period. The three men have 30 days to appeal.

hearing in February. The advancement of the plan came despite a December memo to mayor and councillors from the city’s director of planning, Lou Pelletier, that outlined the plan but advised against implementing it. He said the zoning change could incentivize homeowners to build more than one basement suite, which isn’t allowed. “It could also encourage greater demands on local services, amenities and parking and could cumulatively affect neighbourhood character,” Pelletier wrote. At the committee meeting, Hurley said the intent of the plan is to quickly create new rental stock in the city while not allowing larger homes.

Fix poverty, not just the design of donation bins

The appearance of clothing donation bins could soon be a thing of the past in Burnaby. The City of Burnaby is asking organizations to remove their clothing donation bins from private property in the city, following the death of a man in such a bin in West Vancouver last month. The city stopped allowing these bins on city property more than a year ago. At least eight people have died in Canadian donation

bins since 2015.The latest known tragedy in B.C. came on NewYear’s Eve, when a 34-year-old Vancouver man was found stuck in the opening of a bin near Ambleside Park. The District of West Vancouver has decided it will temporarily seal off clothing donation bins across the municipality until safer alternatives can be found. The non-profit that operated the bin that the man died in – Inclusion BC – has also said it’s removing

all 146 bins it has in B.C. We do not know much about the man who died, but we can only guess he must have been truly desperate to try wriggling into the narrow hatch. According to the BC Coroners Service, there have been five deaths in clothing donation bins in our province in the last four years. If it had been a defective child’s toy that led to someone’s death, there would be a recall already, so we praise

the city for taking this step. Every municipality should be considering the same thing. The overall effectiveness of the bins is up for debate. Some of the donated clothing winds up in the garbage, and what little of it does get put to use is sold to forprofit resellers. But the bins are a revenue stream for charities, which are not in a position to say no to revenue. This is why we’d suggest the province offer up some

transitional grants to help the affected charities with the hard costs of upgrading to safer bins. Inclusion BC has asked the University of BC’s mechanical engineering Capstone Project course to work with its Canadian bin manufacturer to design a new bin that would address safety issues and ensure a public safety standard. But while newer and safer donation boxes may result in some lives saved, this is still ultimately treat-

ing the symptom of a larger problem. It was this time of year when Dickens told us to beware of ignorance and want. It is a gargantuan task to ensure everyone has a home, treatment for addiction and mental health, and enough to eat. But until that time comes, no one else should have to die, trapped in a bin put out under the auspices of helping the less fortunate.

MY VIEW CHRIS CAMPBELL

Assessments gave me sticker shock

A fascinating, yet sad, game was played out on Twitter to start the year. BC Assessment’s website allows you to look up the official value of certain properties. For instance, in Burnaby the new home built by singer Michael Bublé nearly doubled in value in 2018 to $21.7 million. A co-worker learned that her New Westminster home had dropped $30,000 in value. Meanwhile, a friend of mine learned that her Burnaby condo had skyrocketed $126,000 in value and $253,000 overall since she bought it two years ago. For that last one, I made the terrible mistake of sharing this information with another friend who is just 25 and feels like he has no shot at buying a local home – ever. I had inadvertently rubbed his face in it. That’s the thing about home ownership in Metro Vancouver. It’s a subject that highlights a lot of privilege – from those who own property – and a lot of desperation from those feeling crushed by the stratospheric prices. Metro Vancouverites try and go about our business like we’re all equal, but in this way, we’re not.There is a large segment of our local population on the outside looking in – with the distance feeling like it’s getting longer every day. This distance was on display on Twitter like a scab being ripped off as people searched the BC Assessment site for the value of the homes where they grew up. People recounted tales of their parents buying houses in the 1970s for peanuts – one friend said $40,000 in

Vancouver – and how those same houses were now worth seven figures. I also decided to play. I looked up my family home in North Burnaby. My parents bought it in 1973, although my mom said she couldn’t remember for how much. I’m guessing no more than $40,000. I typed in the address and up popped $1,273,400. I’m not sure how long I stared at the screen before I blinked, but I’m figuring it was several minutes. After closing my mouth, I texted the 2018 value to my mom and she responded with a certain expletive I had never heard before from my genteel 79-year-old mother. My mom felt a little sad at having sold the house before prices really hit ludicrous speed, but who knew then what was to come. My parents had split up and moved to other places. I was actually living alone in the house during my Grade 12 year.They kept paying the mortgage until I graduated high school in 1986 and then sold it. Makes total sense, but it still hurts. I don’t know why either of us were shocked given what we know about today’s house prices, but it still burns when you see it on the screen. It’s not like the house has been upgraded. If anything, it’s gotten worse. Owners over the years have let the place fall apart (yes, I drive by occasionally to check). Money for nothing but time.

Enrolment decline a puzzler School officials were left scratching their heads at a surprise decrease in student enrolment in local schools in the fall.The drop was small – about 0.6 per cent of total enrolment – but school district staff said it was important to figure out why the numbers were lower than predicted. The district had anticipated a decrease of eight students, but that number turned out to be 152. “We’re looking for explanations,” said assistant superintendent Mat Hassen. He said, anecdotally, the surprise decrease seemed to be a pattern in districts throughout the Lower Mainland.

Not all landlords should be painted as ruthless

housing crisis, but there are some landlords who are fair and have a social conscience. Donna Polos, Burnaby

Editor: Landlords have been all been painted with the same brush. Not all of them are ruthless. My friend has lived in a lowrise apartment in south Vancouver for over 30 years. The landlord wants to keep her, as she is a good tenant who maintains her suite. Her rent is below $1,000 per month. Another friend has rented a suite in an East Vancouver house for over 26 years. The landlord has provided garden plots and extended the fire escapes so each suite has a small balcony. These are things the landlord chose to do to make the environment enjoyable. Most of the other tenants have been there for over 10 years. The landlord does increase the rent yearly to the allotted amount. After all, he has to contend with yearly increased home taxes, insurance, heat, electricity, maintenance, plumbing and repairs. If the landlord did not do this, he would be forced to subsidize these expenses and with time these suites would be gone. As for the eviction process, it can be long and costly. My friend told me that one former tenant did not pay the rent for the third month. The landlord had a difficult time tracking the tenant down. Finally, after three months of lost revenue and weeks of waiting, it went to a hearing and the landlord won. Now the landlord had to hope the tenant would move quickly and not damage the suite. Otherwise, he would have to go to court. Not that easy to get a difficult tenant out. Yes, there is a

Blame incompetence for NDP’s fundraising woes Editor: Canadians are quick to blame their lack of confidence in Jagmeet Singh for the NDP’s poor fundraising performance, but little attention is drawn to the sheer incompetence of NDP fundraising efforts. The NDP’s poor fundraising performance is better attributed to the NDP’s unwillingness to fix its broken donation forms, outdated website and do-not-contact checkboxes. Even talking to the NDP’s fundraising team for help making a donation is an exercise in pulling out your hair, with their email responses seeming more like non-answers that make you feel like they ignored everything after the second sentence. All this while the NDP’s signature fundraising strategy is to send former donors a dozen emails biweekly without hesitation (or) a working unsubscribe link, in addition to fundraising and volunteering canvassing calls at every hour of the day that ignore your contact preferences. There are many reasons to dislike Jagmeet Singh, but incompetency in fundraising is something that will hurt the NDP regardless of who is at the helm. I will not regret voting for Jagmeet Singh in the upcoming byelection, but I certainly already regret giving to him. Andrew Norton, Burnaby

City now PPC downplays gender issue

Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson isn’t planning to stand on a soapbox and give a rousing speech as supporters cheer and TV cameras look on. Unlike her NDP and Liberal opponents in Burnaby South, who hosted such campaign kickoffs this weekend, the People’s Party of Canada (PPC) candidate says her new party’s campaign will rely on more onthe-ground campaigning. “I think there has to be a strategy that’s kind of unique because we’re so brand new,”Thompson said. The Christian TV host will be among the first candidates to face voters under the PPC banner since the party was formed by former Conservative Maxime Bernier. She will be facing NDP leader Jagmeet Singh, Liberal KarenWang and Conservative Jay Shin in the Feb. 25 byelection to replace former NDP MP and current Vancouver Mayor Kennedy Stewart. (The Green Party is not running a candidate

in the byelection, and the NOW is not aware of any other candidates.) Thompson said she has been working 15 to 18 hours a day putting her campaign together, but she’s confident her message of small government and personal responsibility will connect with voters. “Being a new, fledgling party, we’ve been in the process of getting everything ready, but it is coming together,” she said. Thompson, a NewWestminster resident, ran unsuccessfully for Burnaby school board in October. She came in 11th of 13 candidates running for seven trustee chairs. This time,Thompson won’t be campaigning on the key issue of her school board run – what she calls an ideology of gender fluidity. She has been an ardent opponent of B.C. school resources meant to help teachers teach about gender identity. Bernier has said his party will not address gender identity issues in its platform. “It is important – and he’s

made that very clear to me – that I have to really reflect the party platform,”Thompson said. She said it won’t be hard for her to bite her tongue on the issue, as she is in agreement with the PPC stances, including on issues such as fiscal responsibility and immigration. Thompson said she shares Bernier’s view that Canada may be at risk of becoming too diverse. She said the country needs to accept the differences of others “and yet have a cohesiveness here in Canada.” Thompson said she wasn’t worried about that message’s chances of resonating in a diverse riding where the majority of residents are immigrants. She said she has been able to connect with people from different backgrounds who share similar “traditional values” such as loving family and religion. Asked what the top local issues are,Thompson mentioned housing first. She did not identify any specific policy solutions to housing affordability but said she would champion the issue.

City now Deﬁcit spending top issue for Conservative candidate Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Despite representing a party that placed third in Burnaby South last election and facing a federal leader, Conservative Jay Shin believes he can win the Feb. 25 byelection. The lawyer, who helps Asian firms invest in B.C., says he has put his law practice on hold while he focuses on campaigning full time. Since being named the Conservative Party of Canada’s candidate in September, Shin said he has been door-knocking and meeting community leaders in the riding, “working hard to gain the trust of the people of Burnaby South.” He will face NDP leader Jagmeet Singh and the People’s Party of Canada’s Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson in the February vote called by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last week.The Liberal candidate is unknown after the resignation of KarenWang onWednesday.

The eventual winner will replace former NDP MP Kennedy Stewart, now the mayor ofVancouver. In 2015, the Conservative candidate fell 3,653 votes short of winning the riding – but Shin said he’s confident he can win. “I think I knew it was going to be tough,” he said. “I’m doing this because I care. I care for kids, for our children’s future and this is an opportunity for me to give back to the country that gave me so much.” Shin told the NOW he believes Singh lacks a personal connection to the riding. The Ontario-born politician recently moved to Burnaby and has said he’s committed to living and running there going forward. “I just don’t buy it when he says he’s all-in on Burnaby,” Shin said. “Frankly, whether he’s the leader of a national party or not, I think people already know that he’s not qualified to represent Burnaby South.” Shin says he has roots in

the riding but does not live there. He said he lived in Burnaby until 2004, and his parents still live there. “I’m a local champion,” he said. Shin said the number 1 issue on people’s minds seems to be the deficit spending of the Trudeau Liberals.The party campaigned in 2015 to balance its budget but has not done so. “We just had Christmas … when kids ask Santa for what they want and parents pay for that, but our kids are going to be paying for our mistakes.” Whoever wins the byelection will have a short term in office before the general election in October of this year. Shin said he has already been confirmed as the Burnaby South Conservative candidate in that race. “2019 is going to be an interesting year, so I’m looking forward to that challenge,” he said. “This is my first foray into politics, so I’m learning as I go, but it’s been very enjoyable.”

Communitynow Chestnut trees have a storied history in Burnaby School district will save horse chestnut trees as it builds new offices at the old Schou Street School site Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

If the Burnaby school district’s superintendent and secretary treasurer ever decide they want to face off in a game of conkers, the equipment will be close at hand once their offices are relocated to a 1913 heritage building on CanadaWay. By June 2021, the district hopes to build a brand new set of administrative offices at 4041 CanadaWay that will incorporate the old Schou Street School building there. Among the historic features of the site that will be protected and enhanced under the project are a row of horse chestnut trees that once supplied generations of Schou students with shiny brown chestnuts for use as toys and weapons. The trees were likely planted in the ’20s or ’30s, according to city heritage planner JimWolf, as part of a larger effort to beautify school grounds throughout Burnaby. Officials chose horse

chestnut trees for their hardiness – with little foresight, perhaps, about the uses to which the chestnuts would be put by inventive and mischievous school children. “We loved the chestnuts,” said retired Burnaby teacher JanetWhite, who attended Schou in the early ’50s when she was in Grade 2 and 3. “We threw them at each other and we also put them at the end of a string and they were called conkers and we bonked people with them. I got the strap for throwing one at somebody.” White remembers swinging chestnuts on strings above her head. “It made a ‘zzz zzz’ kind of sound,” she said. Wolf said local kids were still finding entertaining uses for the chestnuts when he was in elementary school in the 1970s. “We used to do all sorts of crazy things with them,” he said, explaining how students would connect two of the chestnuts with string. “You would throw them up at wires, and the two

horse chestnuts on the strings would wrap around, so, all over Burnaby, especially around schools, you’d see these wires dressed with horse chestnuts on strings,” he said. Today, there are few rows of the historic school trees left in Burnaby, according toWolf. The ones by the old Edmonds Junior High School, where he got his chestnuts as a kid, were lost to a streetwidening project about 15 years ago. But that won’t happen to the trees at Schou. They will get legal protection before work starts on the new administration offices. Final rezoning won’t be approved by city council until a heritage revitalization agreement and heritage bylaw for the site are in place. Toward that end, a consultant has inspected the site and poked through old drawings and archival photos as part of a detailed heritage assessment and heritage conservation plan. Along with the horse

PRESERVING HISTORY: The branches of mature horse chestnut trees are visible in this 1976 photo of the Schou Street School. PHOTO CITY OF BURNABY ARCHIVES chestnut trees, the assessment identified the front entry, porch and stairs of the old school as key elements. The exterior stucco, meanwhile, will be stripped to make way for cedar shingles more consistent with the school’s original siding material. The project will also see a cupola, removed from the school’s roof in the 1950s,

rebuilt and replaced. “The cupola was a distinctive feature of earlier Burnaby schools during this period.This is one of the oldest school buildings that survived in Burnaby,”Wolf said. He expects the project will result in a unique and iconic building connecting the district to its roots. “We’re very excited to be

partnering with the school district on this,” he said. “This kind of brings them full circle in terms of over a hundred years of history with the school district, which goes back to 1906.” The plan goes to a public hearing at city hall on Jan. 29 at 6 p.m.

Spring festival gala raises money for Burnaby Hospital Chris Campbell

ccampbell@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby Hospital Foundation’s quest to fund a new $1.1-million CT scanner took another giant leap on Saturday night. The foundation was the beneficiary of two large donations connected with the annual Burnaby Spring Festival Gala – a night of performances that mixed Chi-

nese and Western influences leading up to Lunar New Year. Held at the Michael J. Fox Theatre, nearly 200 cast members sang and danced to a sold-out crowd. Performances ranged from opera to traditional to hip-hop to rock. Some of the performers were very young children, while another was an experienced busker juggling ma-

chetes on top of a ladder. The performers are members of the North America Artist Association and they didn’t disappoint – drawing a standing ovation from the crowd. The association raised more than $3,600 from the event for the foundation.This money was added to a whopping donation of $100,000 from event sponsor Aoyuan International –

a real estate development company that has several projects in Metro Vancouver, including a masterplanned community near Brentwood Town Centre. The City of Burnaby was also an event sponsor. “We like to partner with these kind of events to benefit the hospital,” said Kristy James, CEO of the hospital foundation. “We are very fortunate to benefit from

such generosity.” The event had a highprofile guest list, including Burnaby city councillor James Wang, New Westminster-Burnaby MP Peter Julian – who gave an entire speech in Mandarin, much to the crowd’s delight – Burnaby South Liberal candidate Karen Wang, Burnaby MLA Raj Chouhan, Burnaby city councillor Joe Keithley and federal NDP

leader Jagmeet Singh, who is also running in Burnaby South. Many in Burnaby’s Chinese-Canadian community have supported the hospital foundation when it comes to raising money. The new Dragon Rotary Club of Burnaby has said the foundation will be a main beneficiary of its fundraising efforts.

City now Bublé’s Burnaby home has doubled in value

Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Crooning pays. That’s one lesson you can take away from the latest B.C. Assessment data. Burnaby’s own Michael Bublé owns the city’s most valuable home, assessed at $21.7 million as of July 1, 2018.The 7968 Government Rd. property nearly doubled in value from 2017, when it was assessed at $11.7 million. The world-renowned singer only had to build a massive mansion to earn the new paper wealth. According to B.C. Assessment, the buildings on the lot were worth $3.7 million in 2017 and $13.3 million in 2018. The new home was reportedly planned to be 27,000 square feet, but according to B.C. Assessment it’s a mere 22,308 sq. ft. (10,698 sq.-ft. first floor, 335 sq.-ft. second floor and an 11,275 sq.-ft. finished basement).

In 2016, Bublé told TV host Kelly Ripa he was building a hockey rink in the basement of his new home. “Oh, you are so rich,” Ripa responded. “I want my kids to be able to have fun and, for me, it’s great exercise,” Bublé told Ripa. It’s not clear whether the assessors included a hockey rink as part of the finished area. But the mansion’s construction has also brought controversy to the neighbourhood. In 2016, some neighbours complained about the height of a wall being built on the edge of the property. Meanwhile, the story was very different for the notso-famous homeowners of Burnaby. The average assessed value for single-family detached homes dropped by four per cent from $1.58 million to $1.51 million, while strata units (such as condos) jumped by 12

per cent from $558,000 to $624,000. The Burnaby numbers are in line with the rest of region. “Greater Vancouver is now seeing signs of moderation as the real estate market softens in some areas,” states a B.C. Assessment press release. Single-family home values declined by 12 per cent in West Vancouver, four per cent in Vancouver and North Vancouver, while they rose by 14 per cent in Pemberton, 12 per cent in Gibsons and 11 per cent in Whistler. For strata units, virtually every municipality saw overall property values higher than last year, including Vancouver and West Vancouver, which saw the most modest total-value increases in the Lower Mainland, both up six per cent overall.Whistler saw the highest overall condo increases, with its total value up a whopping 23 per cent.

Communitynow Burnaby wants donation bins out after death in West Vancouver Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

The City of Burnaby is asking organizations to remove their clothing donation bins from private property in the city, following the death of a man in such a bin in West Vancouver last month. At least seven people have died in Canadian donation bins since 2015.The latest known tragedy came on NewYear’s Eve, when a 34-year-old Vancouver man was found stuck in the opening of a bin near Ambleside Park. The District of West Vancouver sealed donation bins in that city and said it was looking at options to make them safer or remove them altogether. In early January, Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley said the city was considering its own approach to the bins. “It’s certainly concerning and something that we will have staff look at right

away,” Hurley said. “And if we need to shut down the bins until the needed changes are made, then we will do that.” City manager Lambert Chu said the city was in the process of sending letters to organizations with bins on private property, asking they be removed “until better safety measures are in

place.” He said the city stopped allowing the bins on city property “about a year ago.” But bins from the Salvation Army, BC Children’s Hospital and Diabetes Canada will remain at the city’s Eco-Centre on Still Creek Avenue, Chu said in an email. “These bins have a mail-

box chute style opening which is different from the style used in West Vancouver,” Chu said. “These bins are located in a fully staffed and fenced site, and additional safety procedures have been instituted to inspect the bins and to heighten safety concerns.”

ANNIE

WHAT’S HAPPENING? Align Entertainment returns to the stage with its latest outing, Annie: The Musical. The tale of the plucky red-haired orphan is onstage at Michael J. Fox Theatre (7373 MacPherson Ave.) from Feb. 1 to 16. WHAT’S THE STORY? If you’ve somehow managed to miss this tale of the loveable red-haired orphan, it’s based on Harold Gray’s widely read comic strip Little Orphan Annie. The comic strip, which debuted in 1924, was popular for its political commentary. The story follows the adventures of Annie, who longs to find the parents who left her as a baby on the steps of a New York City orphanage. Annie makes her escape from the cruel Miss Hannigan and befriends the abandoned loveable mutt Sandy. And, though she gets hauled back to

the orphanage, Annie finds herself chosen to spend Christmas with local billionaire Oliver Warbucks – which sets in motion a chain of events that leads her to help inspire President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s New Deal and, of course, to find a loving home of her own. WHO’S INVOLVED? Camryn Macdonald makes her Align Entertainment debut in the title role, with Arne Larsen as Oliver Warbucks. Erin Matchette plays Miss Hannigan, and Laura Cowan appears as Grace Farrell. The musical also features an ensemble of a dozen talented young actors performing as the orphans, selected by audition from more than 100 children who tried out. It’s directed by Chad Matchette, choreography by Nicol Spinola, lighting by Robert Sondergaard, set design by Tony Barton and costume design by Chantal

WHY SHOULD I GO? Do you really need to ask? Because it’s Annie, the classic story set against the backdrop of the Great Depression that carries a message of optimism and hope that still rings true. “Annie is a touching and timeless musical with a strong core message that money can’t buy you happiness,” director Chad Matchette said in a press release. “Oliver Warbucks is the richest man in the country, and yet his life is unfulfilled until he meets Annie. This delightful little girl reminds us about the power of love and inspires people to hold onto their dreams against all odds.” The musical – with book by Thomas Meehan and lyrics by Charles Strouse – earned seven Tony Awards after its Broadway debut in 1977, and the cast show album won a Grammy Award in 1978. That’s no surprise, considering the musical contains such iconic songs

HARD-KNOCK LIFE: The orphans in the Align Entertainment production of Annie: The Musical, onstage Feb. 1 to 16 at Michael J. Fox Theatre. PHOTO EMILY COOPER, COURTESY ALIGN ENTERTAINMENT as Tomorrow and It’s The Hard-Knock Life. It’s a family-friendly story that’s bound to appeal to all ages, and it’s a virtual guarantee you’ll go home singing – and smiling. HOW MUCH ARE TICKETS? One of the best parts of Align Entertainment musicals is that, in a world of

rapidly rising theatre prices, they remain affordable and family-friendly. Regular tickets range from $29 to $42, with special preview pricing at $20, Thrifty Thursdays shows for $25, and a can’t-be-beat family matinee for $15. HOW DO I GET IN ON THE FUN?

Injured kingﬁsher returned home to the wild on Bowen cdobie@burnabynow.com

A belted kingfisher that sustained a head injury after crashing into a window in November is back home in the wilds of Bowen Island. The injured bird was found on Nov. 18 by Kirsten Degner and her daughter Chloe.The bird sustained central nervous system trauma causing swelling and making it hard for the bird to stand. Its feathers were also damaged, which interfered with

waterproofing, according to a press release from the Wildlife Rescue Association of B.C. Degner and her daughter brought the bird to the Burnaby-based rescue association where it was cared for by staff, according to the release. The association said the kingfisher’s injuries could have been prevented if a few safety precautions had been taken, including putting decals on the outside of the window; moving plants, feeders and bird baths away

from homes and windows; and closing blinds when no one is home. Luckily for this bird, it was able to make a full recovery. On Dec. 19, rescue staff joined Degner and her daughter on Bowen Island to release the belted kingfisher back into the wild. Belted kingfishers are widespread around waters that have an abundant fish populations.They feed on small fish and hunt by diving into the water.

Communitynow Burnaby ﬁreﬁghter saves mom, children in emotional rescue Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

As first-responders, Burnaby fire Capt. CathyVanMartin and her wife Krista Harris, a 16-year Abbotsford firefighter, have seen some things. They’re used to jumping into their turnout gear and rushing to the scene of a fire or car accident. “Your uniform is your armour, metaphorically speaking – and sometimes really speaking,”Van-Martin told the NOW. But the couple were without their “armour” this past Boxing Day, when they came upon a mother and her two children slumped, unresponsive in a car spewing exhaust on a dark rural road in Abbotsford. Van-Martin and Harris, who live in the area, had been on their way home when they drove past the Toyota Corolla, still run-

ning, in the 33700 block of Clayburn Road. “It wasn’t a place that someone would pull over and park; they were not completely off the road,” Van-Martin said. The couple doubled back, thinking the car had probably been stolen and abandoned. In the dark, with the exhaust,Van-Martin said it took a moment to make sense of the scene, but the pair jumped into action as soon as a flashlight Harris was carrying revealed three unconscious people inside. “We took no time to transition into our normal role, but my heart stopped for a beat there when we saw people in the car,”Van-Martin said. Breaking a window with a hammer, she turned off the ignition and unlocked the vehicle. Harris pulled the first child, a five-year-old, from the backseat on the driver’s side.

Taking a big breath, Van-Martin then plunged through the same door, crawled across the backseat and retrieved the other child, a three-year-old. “They were unresponsive and they were not breathing adequately,” she said. She started rescue-breathing on the three-year-old immediately, while Harris went back to the car to get the woman.

Using their one “pocket mask,” the couple then alternated breaths between the two children, deeming them to be the most vulnerable to the toxic fumes. “We really didn’t even talk.We’ve never worked together.We’re not in the same department, but we knew exactly how to work together there,”Van-Martin said. Emergency crews were

on scene in minutes, and all three family members were rushed to hospital in critical condition and treated for carbon monoxide poisoning. The mother and the fiveyear-old were released six days later, and the threeyear-old was released a few days after that, according to the Abbotsford Police Department. Calls involving children always hit first responders

hard, she said, but happening upon a life-and-death situation without her metaphorical “armour” on – especially during the holiday season – set this incident apart. Her thoughts are with the family. “I can only assume they will have a lot of recovering ahead of them, so we’ve been thinking about them a lot,” she said.

Kid-free ﬂights? This mom says yes Mommy’s

GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

There are three parenting woes that top my mostfeared list – lice, vomit and flying on a plane with my kids. A trifecta of cringe-worthy experiences that most parents dread and most will likely experience. Kid-free airplane passengers may think they’re the only ones who detest the idea of being seated beside a weeping wee one, but the experience is equally – if not more – terrifying for the parents of those fussy children. I’m hesitant to bring my three children on an airborne long-haul, worried that a meltdown would make the flight unbearable for the surrounding passengers.The anxiety that this causes parents can be unbearable – anxiety that only occurs as a result of intolerant people who don’t realize that bawling babies are not a direct result of bad par-

enting. Last February, a viral video was shared by a passenger on a flight from Germany to New Jersey, showing a “demonic” child having a mega-meltdown mid-flight. As a result, frustrated onlookers placed complaint calls to the airline, begging for child-free flights. Complaints such as this one are regularly making headlines, causing a debate surrounding the offerings of airlines. Should child-free flights be offered as an option, or should all passengers have equal access to all flights? IndiGo, an India-based airline, introduced a childfree Quiet Zone, aimed at creating quieter sections for business travellers who are looking to get work done without the interruption of crying tots. On hearing the news, many parents protested the new zoning options, claiming “intolerance” and “segregation.” While I don’t think sectioning off the plane into adults-only and familyfriendly seating options

CREATING SHAREHOLDER VALUE

would resolve the problem of child-induced noise pollution, I do think that the idea of child-free flights is worth consideration. Offering a few rows to guests who are 12 years or older won’t make a difference when it comes to quieting a passenger’s surroundings, just like offering smoking and smoke-free sections would be counterintuitive. Noise travels. But similar to familyfriendly restaurants and adults-only resorts, I see no harm in separating the two based on personal preferences and lifestyle choices. I once travelled from Vancouver to Florida, forced to fly with my puking, crying two-year-old son on my lap because our flight was full and the airline was unable to reassign our seats so that we could sit side-by-side. The worst part of the trip wasn’t that my child had suddenly become ill, it was the glares that I received from fellow passengers that made the flight so unbearable. No one was willing to

Perhaps if those unfriendly onlookers had chosen to fly on an adults-only flight, my experience would have been more pleasant. I take no offence to people wanting to separate themselves from children and would find it more comforting to travel amongst passengers who have openly opted to travel with families on board. I think it’s fair for adults to want to travel without the burden of a boisterous brood and would personally appreciate having an option to choose based on my own travel needs. Parents shouldn’t find the flight changes offensive – they should embrace the idea of unifying through a family-friendly flight option, lessening the opportunity for hostility and welcoming a change that could benefit all parties involved.

Brothers make a splash with SFU swim team TheWoinoski boys have charted similar course on Burnaby Mountain, chasing NCAA qualifying times

Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Growing up, the pool proved to be a second home for three boys from Coquitlam. Now, it’s where a big part of their schooling is done. The Woinoski brothers – Tim, Andrew and Alex – find themselves on a quick Simon Fraser University swim team in the competitive NCAA Div. 2 circuit. And while they’ve grown up and learned plenty of lessons in the deep end, what continues to be a strength that propels them onward is their strong family bond. “(Tim) really showed me how to be tough and work through stuff. He’s like my guide, and the way I train is based on how persistent and hardworking he is,” says Andrew, mapping out the realities of a middle brother. “(Alex) is a little different because he’s chasing me. I’m trying to keep him away, but once in a while he does something crazy (good). Now this kid is competing with me.” The Woinoskis were part of SFU’s success in a meet in Hawaii two weeks ago, finishing onetwo-three in the 1000-yard freestyle event.Tim’s time of 9:35.33 eclipsed his brothers by more than 20 seconds each. Andrew captured the 500-yard men’s freestyle event last week in a three-school meet in Seattle.Tim placed fourth, just four seconds back of his younger sibling. From the pool to school, the three have stuck close together and even pursued the same discipline when it comes to water sports, preferring long distance races to sprints. “We were all brought up by exceptional coaches, and I’d like to say we’re very hard workers, so when it comes down to these competitions, we’re meant to do well,” said Tim, 23. “We drastically prepare to swim fast at these (meets).” Although the three are best of buddies, their inner competitive nature is something that drives

them onward.Through the years they’ve learned to wipe the slate clean after each race, cheering each other on while also aiming to get the last laugh in the coming race. “Definitely, I’m always chasing them to beat them but there’s also a lot of guys there. I’m always looking to improve,” remarked Alex, at 18 the youngest, but also, at six-foot-four, the tallest. “They’re competitive, too. Everyone is looking to win, and they’re no exception.We get along great.We never have any issues.” Of course, that wasn’t always the case. Sibling dynamics often begin as a combustible force, and the Woinoskis were no different. “When we were younger we fought a lot, honestly.We just fought, physically and mentally.When we got older we all connected through the sport we were doing,” said Andrew, 20. “We get along really well now, so it’s definitely an asset.” All graduates of Burnaby Mountain Secondary, the Woinoskis came to full-time swimming at a later age than most universitylevel competitors. As members of the PoCo Marlins summer swimming club, they found a sport where they could chase a time rather than each other. Strong coaching and great parents provided all the encouragement they needed, says Tim. “My mom is quite the mom – she’s really caring and an A++ mother. One of the first things she wanted for us was to swim. I was a pretty bad swimmer at waterbabies. She’d put us in swimming lessons and we completed them pretty quickly, even though I repeated Level 7 about five times,” he said with a laugh. It wasn’t until high school that they shifted to year-round swimming with the Simon Fraser Aquatics club, based out of SFU, Central Park and the Tri-Cities. “You can only go so far swimming three months of the year, so (PoCo head coach Mike Wylie) was encouraging me. He knew the

PHOTO MARIO BARTEL coaches in this program and he encouraged me,” remarked Alex. The SFA coaches include SFU coach Liam Donnelly, so a lot of the training practices and preaching done at SFA helped in the transition to university.

The competition just sends shivers down your spine.

“I had a big breakthough (last year),” noted Andrew. “The first year I didn’t qualify for nationals. The second, I qualified for nationals and made All-American as well, which was a pretty big jump for me.That was really exciting.” An All-American honour is also one of Tim’s achievements, having reached it twice. Last year he

red shirted with an eye on sticking around for Alex’s first year. Now he’s made up for lost time, putting up times to be in the hunt for an NCAA berth, as has Andrew. “Every single (NCAA championship) is such an amazing experience.What they have going there is really inspiring. It makes you understand why you are a swimmer.The competition just sends shivers down your spine,” said Tim. At the Cleveland, Ohio-hosted Magnus Cup in November, the three were part of an SFU sweep in the 1650-yard free final, with MacKenzie Hamill, Andrew and Tim leading the way. Donnelly said the dynamics the trio has brought to the team have been exceedingly positive. “It’s a healthy competition. Competition is great, and you push each other to win, but after it’s done they love each other, they

cheer each other on, and they’re great teammates,” said Donnelly. On the heels of Andrew’s breakthrough last spring, where he posted multiple top-eight results at the NCAA Div. 2 championships, he notched a pair of top-12 finishes at the Canadian national championships – placing 12th in the 1500m free. In ninth spot was Tim. In fact, whether it’s in the pool or open water competitions like in Penticton, where the brothers dominated two years ago – there is going to be a Woinoski leading or pushing the pace. It’s their nature. “(Tim) is a very good training partner,” remarked Andrew. “We’ve always been side-by-side training and whenever no one else is around, me and him are always the ones left just training (together). I don’t even see him as a competitor anymore, really. He’s always there – he’s ahead of me, oh, he’s there – and I’m so use to it.”

Burnaby club rocks at elite Hot shots lift Rebels past NW Burnaby’s Maximus Joe exited the Elite 8 Canada national championships in Montreal as the clear champ, leading a strong Burnaby Judo Club contingent. Joe’s win, a 5-0 victory over Quebec’s Felix Bertrand in the under-18 50-kilogram division, was part of a four-medal weekend for the Burnaby club. His route involved 10-0 wins over Will Abraini of Quebec and AsherYoung of B.C.

Last November, Joe ventured to Toronto and captured gold at the Ontario Open. Supplementing Joe’s decision were silver medals for Ekatrina Danilkov and Emil Schenk, while Rakia Lolieva cashed in for bronze. Danilkov posted a 2-1 record, beating B.C.’s Lola Shearer and Quebec’s Marie Turmel before falling to Alberta’s Brynn Iwaasa in the u18 women’s 44kg final. For Schenk, the u18 men’s 66kg silver came follow-

ing victories over Jean Coulombe of Quebec and Nathan Demaeie of Alberta. In the final, Quebec’sYanis Hochemi prevailed 10-0. Lolieva picked up bronze in the u18 women’s 48kg division, after placing third at last year’s open national championships. With these results, the Burnaby club placed third in overall standings.The club is a provincial training centre for B.C., with provincial coach Jeremy LeBris.

It was a tale of two cities, but both aiming for similar destinies. Monday saw the Burnaby South Rebels knock off the New Westminster Hyacks 100-91 in senior boys basketball, in a game where the tenure rose as the game went on. Looking early like a Burnaby South rout, the Hyacks flashed their own hot shooters to erase a 20-point deficit to get within four points before the visitors regained control. Both coaches exited the Pearson gym wanting more. “(New West) came out flying that second half, they really brought it to us,” noted Rebels head coach Mike Bell. “We talked

about getting at it, keeping what we established and working on that, but they took it to us. … The kids kind of struggled because we were playing kids out of positions. It was kind of hard but we’re seniors so we need to be able to handle that.” Led by Baltej Sohal’s 29 points and Giordano Khan’s 25, the Rebels locked it down after a pair of treys by New West’s Kevin Guillermo made it 80-74, sparking a 9-0 run to garner a better cushion for the final few minutes. “I’m just playing my game. I like playing freely,” said Sohal. “We came out strong but (New West) had their runs.They fought hard.We had some good shots but we gave them too many shots.” For more, visit www.burnabynow.com.

Shannon starts new season with a PB Burnaby runner sets new personal best time on indoor 800-metre course Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

The start of the indoor track season brings with it a lot of promise and hope. Promise that the previous months of training and prep work will result in a string of personal bests. Hope that those bests will be accompanied by rewards of NCAA and national qualifying times. For Trinity Western University athletes Jennifer Shannon and Ben Tjernagel, the promise came together at last week’s University of Washington Preview meet. The other rewards may be on the horizon. Shannon, a Burnaby South alumna in her third season with the Spartans, posted a PR in her 800-metre event, finishing the race in 2:17.98. It put her 14th overall, most of it Div. 1 competition. Tjernagel, 19, achieved a new personal best in the 60m dash, placing 19th with a time of 6.99 seconds. It clipped a slice off his

time of 7.01 seconds, set a day earlier in the qualifying race, where he stood 12th overall. The New Westminster native is a second-year student-athlete at the Langley unversity. Both the program’s men’s and women’s teams enjoyed impressive debuts for the 2019 season, as the Spartans registered solid results, including several PBs at the Seattle event. “Opening day was great. It was a wonderful way to open the season for a number of reasons,” remarked Trinity Western coach Shane Wiebe. “I thought we really executed a lot of the things we’ve been working on to this point and a lot of our athletes did well in that department. And right out of the gate, we had some great personal bests, so I’m overjoyed.The competition was great and it was a really good test for us. I think our coaches were pretty pleased all around for our first meet of the year.” The Simon Fraser University track and field team also got things going in a big way, with

three athletes posting provisional NCAA qualifying standard times. Both junior Rowan Doherty (8:12.35) and senior Carlos Vargas (8:22.33) hit personal bests en route to a provisional mark in the 3000m race. On the women’s side,Vancouver’s Sophie Dodd met the standard with a 2:13.86 time in the 800m, good for 11th. Doherty, of West Vancouver, cut nine seconds off his previous best time, earning him the Great Northwest Athletic Conference’s

Men’s Track Athlete of the Week honour. His time was the best result of all Div. 2 runners in the event, and stands as the thirdquickest time this season. The SFU women’s 4x100m relay team of Nicole Lindsay, Addy Townsend, Renate Bluschke and Dodd were just shy of breaching the provisional mark with a fourth-place time of 3:53.63. Burnaby Central alumni Nathan Mah posted strong results in both the 60m (7.04) and 200m (22.50) races.

SFU hosts yearly dinner Calling all Simon Fraser University hockey alumni – the annual SFU Hockey Alumni and Friends dinner is coming.

Home prices holding ﬁrm in most Metro Vancouver areas: report Falling detached-home prices in some Metro Vancouver areas are not enough to cancel out increases in others, with the region’s aggregate home sale price rising 2.1 per cent year over year in 2018’s fourth quarter, according to Royal LePage. The national real estate brokerage’s quarterly House Price Survey, released January 11, found that home prices were holding firm in most Metro Vancouver municipalities, although the trend varied by property type. Across the region as a whole, only bungalows saw a slight year-over-year price decline of 1.4 per cent to a median sale price of $1,402,002. Two-storey houses increased 2.9 per cent year over year to a median of $1,599,785, while condo sale prices across the Metro region rose by 4.6 per cent to $680,991. “While we’ve seen a significant reduction in the number of sales across all housing types, condominiums continue to outperform all other housing types in Greater Vancouver,” said Randy Ryalls, general manager of Royal LePage Sterling Realty. Royal LePage’s survey of homes sold in the

fourth quarter found that Vancouver, North Vancouver and Burnaby were the only areas to see an overall price slip compared with the same quarter in 2017. Aggregate home prices in Burnaby (all home types combined) fell the most in the fourth quarter, by 1.1 per cent year-over-year, to $1,093,001. Vancouver’s aggregate sale price in Q4 fell 0.6 per cent year-over-year to a still-staggering $1,418,251. The city’s median condo sale price saw a slight rise of 1.4 per cent year over year to $792,321. North Vancouver’s aggregate home price fell by a similar amount, 0.7 per cent year over year, to $1,435,007, with condo sale prices up 3.4 per cent to $679,526. DEFYING EXPECTATIONS West Vancouver and Richmond both defied expectations in 2018’s fourth quarter. West Vancouver’s all-home-types sale price rose 0.2 per cent to a whopping $3,034,685, with the median price of a two-storey home increasing 0.3 per cent to $3,453,541, and condo prices up 3.7 per cent, to $1,240,252.

HOME SALES* Attached Detached

Richmond’s aggregate home sale price in Q4 rose a surprising 2.8 per cent on an annual basis to $1,165,134, which was the steepest rise in the region. This is largely due to median condo sale prices rising 8.1 per cent year-over-year to $595,070. In Coquitlam, aggregate home prices rose 0.4 per cent year-over-year to $1,138,387. Prices in Surrey’s aggregate home sale prices rose 2.3 per cent year-over-year to $936,357, while Langley’s aggregate home price increased a solid 2.4 per cent year-over-year to $1,015,021. Ryalls added, “While the condo market is showing balance, in contrast, sales activity within the detached housing market has slowed down considerably and is firmly in a buyer’s market. The mortgage qualifying regulations have severely attenuated the purchasing power of interested buyers including the all-important ‘move-up’ buyer eager to purchase a townhome or detached home.” The analysis of aggregate and median sale prices offers different results than average sale prices, which can be more heavily skewed by extremes at each end of the market.

EMPLOYMENT

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES KAY, Isabel P. February 5, 1924 − January 6, 2019 Eldest daughter of Richard and Doris James, sister to Joan and Betty, Isabel was "Captain of the Green team" at her school and worked as a young woman "on the buses" during the Blitz. Later, she met her husband, Gerry, a Canadian navigator and Squadron Leader of 3 Group Tactical Bombing, at the Hammersmith Palais. When she refused his invitation to dance, Gerry asked her to give him three good reasons why not. Isabel chose to only give him two. They were married in St. Mary’s Church on October 26, 1946, remaining husband and wife for 68 years. In 1947, Isabel and Gerry returned to Canada and made Burnaby their home. Isabel worked at the Westminster Club and at Cunningham Drugs. On March 1st, 1951, they welcomed their daughter, Deborah. Isabel liked bowling and tennis, opera and crosswords; she loved fashion, dancing, and handsome crooners. She was also an avid CFL football fan who supported and suffered her BC Lions. Isabel enjoyed returning to England to visit with family, especially Betty, Albert, Val, Jan, Paula, Lauren, and Adam. Isabel will be missed by family; friends; her great−granddaughter, Emma; granddaughter, Elysia (Melissa); as well as Debbie and Jack − who marveled at Isabel’s impromptu "Que Sera Sera" solo and who are forever grateful she insisted Debbie "phone his number one more time". Many thanks to the doctors, nurses, and staff who took excellent care of Isabel at Burnaby General Hospital’s fifth floor and Palliative Care ward where she passed peacefully in the wee hours, a month shy of her 95th birthday.

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. A draft copy of the proposed PMP and maps of the proposed treatment areas may be examined in detail at: BNSF Railway, 400 Brunette Avenue, New Westminster, BC (contact Grant Nightengale, 604 520 5266) or by contacting the Agent listed above. “A person wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the pest management plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant (c/o Art Guite Consulting, Agent, at the address listed above) within 30 days of the publication of this notice.”
