ELECTION

Singh ‘disgusted’ by refugee rhetoric

Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

NDP leader Jagmeet Singh said he was “disgusted” by the rhetoric of his fellow candidates at a Burnaby South byelection debate after hearing their answers to a question about refugee resettlement.

All six candidates – Singh, Liberal Richard Lee, Conservative Jay Shin, Laura-Lynn Tyler Thompson of

the People’s Party, independent Valentine Wu and independent Terry Grimwood – in the Feb. 25 race to replace former MP Kennedy Stewart squared off at Maywood Community School Monday evening.

Things got heated shortly after moderator Stephen D’Souza asked “How will you support refugee claims?

Will you be a national and global champion for those coming to Canada to apply

for refugee status and those wanting to come to Canada as a refugee?”

Lee said the Liberal government is taking safety issues related to refugees “very seriously.”

Lee said the previous Conservative government cut funding to the Canada Border Services Agency, which the Liberals restored.

“The government is taking action to strengthen some of the ideas on securi-

ty issues,” Lee said.

Wu said it’s important not to confuse people opposed to current refugee policies with people who are anti-refugee.

Grimwood said refugees should be settled in rural Canada.

Shin highlighted the fact he came to Canada as a child from Korea. He said Canada must continue to allow immigration to grow the country.

“I’m all for legal immigration ...What I’m against is illegal immigration, illegal border crossers coming to Canada, putting a strain on our immigration process and making it difficult for proper immigrants who come here and populate this country.”

Thompson also raised safety and security issues related to refugees.

“I believe that, as a Christian, that we are to open our

houses and our country to foreigners – that is not the issue,” she said. “The issue is we do need to know who they (refugees) are.

We do need to understand that there are some people who enter our country who might not share our values.”

Thompson said the murder of Burnaby teen Marrisa Shen was an example of why Canada must screen refugees more stringently.

Citynow ELECTION

Trudeau makes raucous campaign stop

by South in Ottawa.

The pipeline opponents weren’t the only ones to brave a snowstorm to protest Trudeau.

About 10 protesters in yellow vests, representing a nascent right-wing movement in the country, held signs outside the Shadbolt Centre accusing Trudeau of “treason” and opposing the UN Compact for Migration.

Lee is challenging NDP leader Jagmeet Singh, Conservative Jay Shin, LauraLynn Tyler Thompson of the People’s Party, independentValentineWu and independent Terry Grimwood in the upcoming byelection.

Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his visit to Burnaby on Sunday ahead of the Feb. 25 byelection was “an opportunity to reconnect with friends, an opportunity to talk about how we’re moving forward as a country (and) an opportunity to spend time with my friend and yours (Liberal candidate) Richard Lee.” But protesters saw it as an opportunity to voice their displeasure with his purchase and support of the Trans Mountain pipeline and its proposed expansion.

The project’s opponents – spread throughout the roughly 200-person crowd of mostly Liberal supporters – made themselves known not long after Trudeau took the stage alongside Lee at the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts.

Some protesters stood quietly holding signs, only to have Liberal supporters move in with Richard Lee placards in an attempt to block their messages from the nearby news cameras.

Others chose to shout directly at the prime minister, who did not miss a beat delivering a stump speech.

Trudeau became nearly unintelligible as he spoke about his government’s commitment to reconciliation with Indigenous people.

BUDDIES: Prime Minister Justin Trudeau embraces Liberal candidate Richard Lee at a rally on Sunday.

“It’s not always going to be easy and there are going to be challenges along the way, but we are going to demonstrate that reconciliation is a reality,”Trudeau said as Liberal supporters cheered and clapped to drown out a heckler near the stage.

Trudeau was joined by several caucus colleagues, including Burnaby North-

Seymour MP Terry Beech, John Aldag, Harjit Sajjan, Joyce Murray and Randeep Sarai. Notably absent was former attorney general and Vancouver Granville MP JodyWilson-Raybould, who, according to The Globe and Mail, was pressured by the Prime Minister’s Office to defer the prosecution of engineering firm SNC-Lavalin – charged with corruption

and bribery for alleged actions in Libya.Wilson-Raybould has since resigned her cabinet post.

As Trudeau was wrapping up his short speech, Uni Urchin, a pipeline opponent involved with the Camp Cloud protest on Burnaby Mountain in 2018, called the prime minister a “criminal.”

“You have broken the law.

Man shouts ‘Terrorists!’ at debate Continued from page 1 The man accused of Shen’s murder is a refugee from Syria, but there is no public evidence suggesting he had a criminal record or that there were other warning signs missed by officials.

When it came for Singh to answer the question, he said he was “disgusted by some of the values being espoused.”

Some in the audience clapped and cheered for Singh’s comments as others booed and one man wearing a People’s Party button shouted “Canadians first!”

“We’re talking about refugees; we’re talking about people who are fleeing danger,” Singh said as the crowd grew louder. “These are people fleeing death; these are people who are fleeing serious situations.”

You’re a criminal. Shame on you,” Urchin yelled as someone tried to stand between her and a reporter’s camera.

crowd shouted “Terrorists!” as Singh spoke.

It was the most heated moment in a debate fo-

cused on “social inclusion” in Burnaby South.

TRUDEAU CAMPAIGNS AT SKYTRAIN STATION Trudeau surprised students studying for exams and SkyTrain commuters in Burnaby Monday afternoon as he continued to campaign for Lee. The two politicians first paid a visit to La Forêt, a café in the riding, and made the rounds speaking to a mix of unsuspecting patrons and Liberal supporters who came to meet him.

Trudeau and Lee then made their way to the Metrotown SkyTrain station, where they greeted commuters. As he took selfies with people, the prime minister told them to vote for Lee in the byelection.

A heckler who interrupted a Burnaby South byelection debate on Feb. 6 had some choice words for federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh.

“Why are you picking fights with Aboriginal people?” a man shouted across a ballroom at the Delta Hotels Burnaby Conference Centre.

The protester took aim at Singh over his recent comments in support of the Coastal GasLink pipeline.

In January, 14 people were arrested for violating a court injunction allowing pipeline workers onto Wet’suwet’en territory.

Hereditary First Nations chiefs in the area are opposed to the project and say

the RCMP actions violated their land title rights.

“We don’t want you elected if you’re supporting pipelines,” the heckler yelled at Singh.

The protester was joined by two other people who did not speak.

All three were wearing clothing with American Indian Movement logos.

After the debate, Singh told the NOW he understands why the man was mad.

“I think people who are frustrated want to be able to express their point of view and the Indigenous community is a community that’s faced a lot of injustice and a lot of unfairness and are going through a lot of frustration right now,” Singh said.

COURT

Man killed by one punch: Crown

the strongest voice for burnaby south

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The prosecution has laid out its case against a couple accused of manslaughter in the death of a 22-year-old man at a North Burnaby Starbucks in 2017.

Michael Page-Vincelli never regained consciousness after a single punch to the head on July 21, 2017 knocked him over, causing him to hit his head on the floor and possibly a counter, Crown prosecutor Colleen Smith told a jury in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver Monday.

He was pronounced brain dead at Royal Columbian Hospital the next day with a fractured skull and “significant brain damage” caused by blunt force trauma, according to agreed facts presented by Smith.

Smith said she will argue the man who delivered the fateful punch was Lawrence Alvin Sharpe, encouraged by his girlfriend Oldouz Pournouruz.

Pournouruz and PageVincelli had gotten into an

argument at the Kensington Square Shopping Centre on Hastings Street while Sharpe was inside the Royal Bank nearby, Smith said.

She said witnesses scheduled to testify during the 19-day trial will describe how Pournouruz, by a parked car, and Page-Vincelli, astride a bicycle, argued loudly together.

“I expect some will say that the male made a racist slur, including calling the woman a dirty immigrant,”

Smith said. “I expect you will hear testimony about cigarettes being thrown, including testimony that the male flicked a cigarette at the woman.”

Smith said witnesses will testify they heard Pournouruz say she would get her boyfriend to beat him up.

After the dispute, PageVincelli went into the Starbucks, and Pournouruz went into the bank, Smith will argue.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Rise in local overdose deaths a sign change needed

British Columbia experienced another record year of drug overdose deaths in 2018, with at least one person dying on all but 11 days.

Those are the devastating numbers released by the BC Coroners Service.They show that, despite all the efforts made to raise awareness about the dangers, too many people are still dying.

The death rate is another tragic record number, although it has perhaps

reached a plateau, as the percentage jump is minimal compared with previous years. In 2018, there were 1,489 suspected illicit drug overdose deaths, compared with 1,487 in 2017.

In Burnaby, the number of drug overdose deaths dropped – slightly – to 43 from 44.

“The illicit drug supply is unpredictable and unmanageable, and fentanyl is now implicated in 86 per cent of overdose deaths,” BC Cor-

oners Service chief coroner Lisa Lapointe said.

But, she stressed, 77 per cent of the deaths are of regular users, which could serve as a warning to people who might want to use drugs recreationally, but are at risk of not getting what they think they’re buying on the street.

Lapointe said the illicit drug fatality rate now far exceeds the motor vehicle, suicide and homicide death rates combined.

By the numbers, most deaths involve males using alone in private residences.

This is why so much effort has been put into raising awareness about not using when you are alone.

In 2018, 71 per cent of those who died were aged 30 to 59. Males accounted for 80 per cent of all suspected overdose deaths.

So, apart from what’s being currently done, what changes can be made to government policy to save

lives?

The province’s chief medical health officer says the numbers indicate the time has arrived to deliver access to regulated opioids to those at risk.

Provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said the numbers continue to be distressing.

She said work to prevent deaths continues, with 140,000 naloxone kits to reverse opioid overdoses distributed and overdose

prevention sites and drugtesting services now available.

But it’s not enough, she said.What’s needed is access to a regulated, clean supply of drugs so users can stay alive and possibly move toward treatment and recovery.

There is heavy resistance to this idea from the “just say no” crowd. Clearly, that approach isn’t working. It’s time to have a public debate to stop this epidemic.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Indigenous views ignored

As Trans Mountain protests get set to resume, a growing schism is being played out between the environmental protest movement and various First Nations.

While non-aboriginal protesters find it easy to take on natural resource companies and various governments, they may find it much tougher to pick a sustained fight with First Nations who support the projects they oppose.

While many First Nations oppose the project, more than 30 First Nations actually support it as an economic development vehicle.

And First Nations leaders are starting to speak out in favour of other projects, such as the LNG Canada project up north.This is an important development because, up until now, many First Nations have opted not to participate in the public debate on these kinds of projects.

The First Nations LNG Alliance is getting more vocal in its support. Its CEO, Karen Ogen-Toews, recently penned an op-ed piece.

“I’ve seen our people, first-hand, living in real poverty,” she wrote. “I’ve seen the social issues, the astronomical unemployment rates, the child-welfare cases, the suicides, the addictions, the low levels of education, the poor housing conditions.”

Addressing those issues, she pointed out, is the reason why 20 First Nations along the pipeline route support the project.

Crystal Smith, the chief councillor of the Haisla First Nations, recently took aim at a First Nations um-

brella organization that has aligned itself with the environmental protesters.

“Given the large First Nations support for the Coast Gas link, I am disappointed that the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs is choosing to stoke the flames of the conflict regarding the Wet’suwet’en issue, rather than stand in support of 20 Nations which have signed agreements for the natural gas pipeline,” Smith told a Natural Resources Forum in Prince George.

Cheam First Nation leader Ernie Crey, in particular, has been critical of both First Nations and protesters who oppose Trans Mountain.

“I respect the grey beards in the Indigenous community but their opposition to the petroleum sector is harming us & will undermine the future of our young folks who want & need jobs,” Crey recently tweeted. “The future belongs to the young, not to those of us who are either retired or near retirement.”

And former Haisla councilor Ellis Ross, now a BC Liberal MLA, had this to say on Twitter: “I see that some environmentalists think that to aid in their campaigns against resource projects in B.C., all they need do is scare up a few hereditary chiefs and use them as they would a wreath of garlic to fend off vampires.They best think again.”

You can expect this schism between First Nations and the environmental protest movement will continue to widen – not shrink.

Burnaby needs to fix its recycling system

Editor: Re: This south Burnaby resident is fed up with living in a dumping zone, NOW, Opinion, Feb. 2 I am a new resident to Burnaby. Firstly, I recently read an article in your paper pertaining to residents being frustrated with being a dumping ground for garbage. I agree that people should not dump their garbage and recycling illegally, but I can understand why people do it.

I recently moved to North Burnaby (Burnaby Heights, I believe this neighbourhood is called) and came to quickly realize placing my trash and recycling at curbside is very frustrating.

I find a vast difference between Burnaby and Abbotsford when it comes to waste collection. I am a huge advocate for recycling.

In Abbotsford, you place all your recyclables in a clear blue bag, and the city’s contractor picks it up once a week. In our blue bags, we could place everything in it that is recyclable. They take as many blue bags as you have. Abbotsford picks it up.

In the event a resident has an item that is not taken placed in the blue bag, they leave you a sticker with a checkmark of what is wrong.

They also allow three garbage bins per home for garbage, as it is picked up biweekly, as well as a separate bin for yard waste.

Coming to Burnaby, well, that is an entire different story. What used to take me five minutes while putting my garbage out is now taking me over 20 to figure out what goes where. They don’t

Your Mom & Dad worked hard all their lives. Now help them enjoy it. take blue bags here, only these extremely small yellow bags – not much bigger than your bag you may find in your grocery store. They only allow one bin per house and you cannot purchase extra stickers to put more out, which you can in Abbotsford.

Now, I am a renter, and there is a main floor and a basement suite. We have to share one garbage bin. This is not the fault of the homeowner, but the fault of the city due to their regulations.

I am a business owner and moved my business to Burnaby, and now I am thinking that residing here as well is a large pain due to the issues with garbage collection. The city should rethink the process and allow three bins just like other municipalities, as well as the blue bag system.

Jolene Johnson, Burnaby

Hurley in tough as long as BCA has majority Editor: Yes, we got rid of Derek Corrigan as the mayor of Burnaby, but what we forgot to do when we were marking our ballots was to rid ourselves of his pro-developer Burnaby Citizens Association council members, which is why Mayor Mike Hurley hasn’t been able to change the agenda to favour renters.

Remember, Mayor Hurley has but one vote on any issue, and as long as BCA members control the agenda, nothing is going to change. If we wanted real change, we should have vote to elect anybody except those affiliated with the BCA party.

Upskirting senior gets jail term reduced Man was taking videos of young girls in a mall Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A 74-year-old man caught shooting videos up the skirts of young girls at a Burnaby mall has won an appeal to get more credit for time served and a shorter probation.

Dennis Dwight Russell was sentenced to twoand-a-half years in jail (minus 356 days credit for time served) and three years’ probation after pleading guilty in January 2018 to voyeurism and breaching a long-term supervision order.

On April 25, 2017, a mall cop at Metropolis at Metrotown had observed Russell and noticed he would “shuffle his backpack” when young girls walked by him, according to a B.C. Court of Appeal ruling last month.

“At one point, Mr. Russell placed his open backpack under the skirt of a young female standing in line at the food court,” stated the ruling.

Security officers arrested Russell and called police, who found a digital camera in his backpack as well as a number of digital storage cards containing about 63 videos of views up the skirts of about 85 young women or girls, some wearing school uniforms.

“One digital storage card was labelled ‘Catholic School and another labelled ‘Lulu,’” stated the ruling.

Other videos appeared to depict Russell following young women or girls from

location to location.

At the time of his arrest, he had been under a longterm supervision order imposed after convictions in 2005 for sexual assault and juvenile prostitution involving 15-year-old and 13-year-old girls.

Russell has numerous convictions of sexual assault, child pornography, juvenile prostitution and failing to comply with bail conditions.

He appealed his latest sentence, arguing the judge had not given him the correct pre-sentence custody credit, imposed an unfit sentence and mistakenly imposed a three-year probation order.

The court of appeal accepted parts of his argument, agreeing the sentencing judge hadn’t correctly calculated Russell’s pre-sentence custody credit and incorrectly increased his probation period from 18 months to three years af-

ter having already sentenced him at the hearing.

The appeals court cut Russell’s sentence by 27 days and reduced his probation period to 18 months.

But the court didn’t budge on the fitness of his sentence.

“When Mr. Russell was arrested for voyeurism, he was bound by a (long-term supervision order), which was imposed for serious sexual offending against young girls,” stated the decision, written by Justice Sunni Stromberg-Stein. “The judge considered the circumstances and the nature of the offences in the context of Mr. Russell’s criminal history, including a history of breaching conditions.”

The mall cop who caught Russell, Carlos Alvarez-Delgado, was recognized by Burnaby RCMP with a citation from Chief Supt.

Deanne Burleigh at an awards ceremony last May.

Burnaby program filling EA shortage Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A homegrown program to address a provincewide shortage of education assistants has been a surprising success – even to Burnaby school officials.

EAs have been in high demand around the province since a Supreme Court of Canada decision restored class-size and class-composition provisions to B.C. teachers’ collective agreement in 2016.

To fill the gap locally, the district launched its own accelerated five-month diploma program last July through its community and continuing education department.

Of the first group of 30 students to graduate in November, 28 are now working in the district.

TAILOR MADE “Basically we were equipped and exactly what the district wanted when we finished, which was really great,” said Mariah Battiston, who was offered a job at Cariboo Hill Secondary before she even graduated. “I felt really prepared to work in the district, and the practicums were great.”

Tailoring the training to mesh with the needs of the district was one of the goals of the program, and many of the instructors are current and former district staff, like student safety specialists, speech language pathologists, the Indigenous education team, sexual orientation and gender identity experts, even first aid instructors.

“We like to bring people in who are highly expert in specific areas to give

NEW RECRUITS: Education assistants Wendy Hoag and Mariah Battiston are working at Cariboo Hill Secondary after completing the district’s diploma program in November. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR

them instruction,” director of instruction Kevin Brandt told the NOW. “It’s highly targeted to very current things that are happening in schools right now.”

Thirty more students are currently attending the program’s second class, this one being offered on a parttime basis on evenings and weekends.

The compressed format and low tuition (the program costs about half as much as EA programs at public post-secondary schools, like Douglas College, and a third as much as programs at private colleges, according to Brandt) has created a lot of interest, meaning the district has attracted a lot of “quality applicants,” Brandt said.

Between 70 and 80 applicants were interviewed for the first 30 spots.

Battiston, a mother of four, has a science degree

and had been working as a behaviour interventionist before attending.

She said others in her diverse, multicultural cohort – which included six men and 24 women aged 20 to 55 – had years of teaching experience in different countries.

“We’ve had some absolutely fantastic applicants,” Brandt said.

‘SIX-MONTH INTERVIEW’ It shouldn’t be surprising so many have been hired to work in the district.

By the time each student finishes the program, they’ve gone through an extensive application process, interacted with district staff brought in to instruct them and completed two practicums at local schools.

“In a way, it’s almost like a six-month interview process,” Brandt said. “We know them very well and they know us very well, and

so far they’ve been very excited to work in Burnaby.”

But the homegrown program has created another unlooked for benefit as well.

After five months together, Battiston’s class developed close ties, she said, even organizing their own grad celebration in December.

Those are relationships they’ve now brought with them into the district.

“Now they have a network,” Brandt said. “They can learn from each other.

If they have questions about practice, they can contact each other. I think over time we will see a lot of strength coming from that.”

Battiston now works with one of her former classmates,Wendy Hoag, at Cariboo Hill, where both did their second practicum.

“We love where we’re at,” Hoag said.

A New Westminster Sec-

ondary School grad, Hoag had been working as a nanny and preschool EA for a girl with autism before entering the program.

She’d been accepted into the two-year Douglas College program but was drawn by the lower cost and compressed format of the Burnaby diploma.

She’s happy to be working as an EA, she said.

“Even though you’re there mainly to focus on your student, you touch so many people’s lives, and you don’t even know it.

There’s no job like it. It’s very rewarding.”

Battiston agrees.

“I mean, you have your bad days; there are good and bad days for sure, but you’re growing and learning together.You’re making a difference.”

SPIN OFF The success of the program has spurred a partnership with the Vancouver school district for a similar program there.

That program started Feb. 4 at the Garibaldi Annex with Vancouver supplying the instructors and space and Burnaby supplying the curriculum and applicant-screening support.

“We share such a long border with Vancouver,” Brandt said. “Instead of getting into ‘they’re trying to take our EAs and we’re trying to take their EAs,’ why not just work hand in hand?”

WORKING CONDITIONS But not everyone is thrilled with the design of the course.

Shona Kelly, CUPE Local 379’s chief shop steward and a 20-year EA in the

district, is concerned the program doesn’t give students enough practical experience.

“In our eyes, they’re not being prepared enough for how to deal with situations within the classroom.”

Kelly also said what is behind the provincewide shortage of EAs is not the Supreme Court decision but working conditions, including not getting enough hours to make a living wage.

“EAs work bell to bell and we get paid hourly, which, again, is not a living wage,” she said.

We don’t have time to collaborate with teachers.

“We don’t have time to collaborate with teachers; we don’t have time to prep the program that is set up for the kids.”

CUPE’s contract expires at the end of June, and the union is preparing for bargaining.Working hours will be at the top of Kelly’s list of concerns, she said.

As for the students entering the district’s EA diploma program, however, school officials say they know what they’re getting into.

“The Burnaby school district’s salary for education assistants is competitive and aligns with other districts in the Lower Mainland,” said an emailed statement.

“We still have waitlists for people to sign up for these programs, and the salary is transparent.”

Plans unveiled for Edmonds towers

Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

A towering vision of the future of affordable housing in Burnaby is taking shape, as the city plans to redevelop the corner of Kingsway and Edmonds Street.

The City of Burnaby and BC Housing have issued a request for expressions of interest (RFEOI) for the four lots in the Edmonds Town Centre.

The lots are the former home of the Edmonds library and community centre and the current site of Hall Towers – two residential towers owned by BC Housing and home to some 334 low-income seniors and people with disabilities.

In January, local and provincial politicians announced the aging Hall Towers would be replaced by a new development and all current residents would be given the first opportunity to move into the new building or buildings.

But plans for the four ad-

OLD TOWER: This building, one of two Hall Towers, will be demolished once a replacement is built on an adjacent lot and residents move in. PHOTO KELVIN GAWLEY jacent lots go beyond replacing the existing public housing.The city wants to see commercial space, community services, a new road and new green space built around market and non-

market housing – all built at the intersection it calls “the primary node of development in the Edmonds Town Centre.”

First, a new home for the existing Hall Towers resi-

dents needs to be built on the former site of the Edmonds branch of the Burnaby Public Library.The land would come under BC Housing ownership, and a developer would be tasked

with building a new tower or towers atop a commercial podium.

A city staff report suggests Burnaby could contribute the density bonus usually charged to developers of market housing to allow the construction of taller highrises.This additional space could create “family-oriented low- to moderate-income housing on the site.”

The city says BC Housing would have to provide amenities within the development, “such as recreation facilities, community meeting space and offices for support services.”The housing agency could then sell or lease the commercial space in the podium to offset construction and operations costs.

Hall Towers will be demolished once all residents have moved out and will likely be replaced by a new tower atop a townhouse podium, according to the report.

The new units would

likely be set aside for middle-income renters and buyers under BC Housing’s new HousingHub program launched last year.

But, the city report notes, that plan is not set in stone and the site “would also be a suitable site for market multiple-family housing, should BC Housing opt not to retain” the lot.

Next, the eastern portion of the site could be sold to a private developer.The city could transfer density allotted to an adjacent parking lot to increase the value of the third lot and fetch top dollar.

The developer would be able to build two towers atop a podium with residential and commercial space, the city says.That developer would be required to improve the parking lot next door, “including re-greening existing surface parking areas, providing a better connection between the Highland Park Line Trail and the Kingsway-Edmonds intersection.

City now ‘Racial slurs’ heard by witness Continued from page 5 Pournouruz and Sharpe were then seen coming out of the bank and entering the Starbucks, Smith said.

Smith said video evidence from the bank and the Starbucks will be “very important in this case,” with the video in the coffee shop capturing the fateful punch.

“As they enter the store, Mr. Page-Vincelli will enter the camera view, stand facing the entrance, eating from a bag of chips,” Smith said. “Mr. Sharpe steps around the female and punches Mr. Page-Vincelli, who is still eating the chips. Mr. Page-Vincelli drops backwards out of the camera view, and the female and Mr. Sharpe quickly leave the Starbucks and leave the area.”

Three witnesses who testified this week had been selling Krispy Kreme doughnuts by the Royal Bank that afternoon.

One teen who did not want to be named said she had seen a man and a woman arguing loudly and throwing a cigarette

back and forth at each other about four times.

“I can’t exactly remember the racial slurs, but the word ‘dirty immigrant’ stuck in my mind,” she said, describing what the man had said.

Rita Zhan, who was 13 at the time, said she heard the argument start with the woman asking why the man had thrown a cigarette at her.

Later that afternoon, Zhan pointed out an extinguished cigarette to police.

That cigarette, according to admitted facts, was found to have the DNA of both Page-Vincelli and Pournouruz on it.

Zhan said she had heard the man call the woman a

“fucking immigrant” and the woman tell the man, “You better run before I get my boyfriend to beat your ass.”

After the dispute, Zhan said she saw the man park his bike and go into Starbucks and the woman go into the RBC. The woman then came out of the bank with a man, and the pair rushed into the Starbucks, Zhan said.

She said the same man and woman then exited the Starbucks a short time later and got into the car and drove away.

Sharpe and Pournouruz have pleaded not guilty.

Their trial continues this week.

Cayley Dobie

in the Council Chamber, 4949 Canada Way, Burnaby, B.C. to receive representations in connection with the following proposed amendments to “Burnaby Zoning Bylaw 1965”.

cdobie@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby brewery owner is calling on the City of Burnaby to declare Burnabarian the city’s official demonym.

Ben Coli, owner of Dageraad Brewing, thinks the city’s residents need a moniker by which to identify themselves, and he thinks Burnabarian would be the perfect fit.

“It is fun to say and it rolls off the tongue, and you can’t say that for Burnabite or Burnabyan or Burnabyer. Dageraad has been using Burnabarian for more than four years and it works well and it’s starting to gain some traction,” he wrote in an email to the NOW. Coli decided to reach out to city hall after a CBC segment last week that poked fun at Burnaby’s lack of a brand. CBC’s metro reporter Justin McElroy went so far as to conduct a “self-selected sample Twitter poll” that asked folks what was the most distinctive thing about Burnaby – SkyTrain lines; parks; malls as urban centres; or being next toVancouver. (“Being next toVancouver” won with 45 per cent of the vote.)

“McElroy and (CBC radio host) Stephen Quinn were basically calling our city bland.

I think we need to rally the city, but that’s hard to do if we don’t even know what to call ourselves,” Coli said.

One of the first beers Dageraad released when it opened in 2014 was the Burnabar-

ian. It’s a light beer, coming in at 4.5 per cent, and it was also the brewery’s first beer made available in cans.

“Burnabarian is a silly word I thought of many years ago, well before I opened the brewery. I originally liked it because it suggests there might be something barbaric, something savage about this sleepy, civilized suburb, but now we’ve been using it for years and to me it’s just a nice-sounding word that suits this city,” Coli said.

While he’s confident the mayor and council will agree, Coli is concerned they might not think it’s worth an official motion.

“I think that would be a mistake. Identity is important for a city, and a good place to start building identity is to create a word to call ourselves as a group.We are Burnabarians,” he said.

TAXATION

Property values hit businesses ty tax is charged based on the value of a property, so significant increases in the value of their property can lead to big property tax bills down the road.

I’ve heard from businesses who have seen 100-, 200- or even more than 300-per-cent increases in their property values recently, which likely means they will be facing significantly increased tax bills later this year.These can reach into the tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. For many businesses, a sudden increase in expenses on that scale can be a real hardship, and unfortunately some are forced to sell, relocate or close down as a result.

The crux of this problem is in how B.C. Assessment, the body responsible for property valuations, determines a property’s worth.

Instead of looking at what a property is today (a corner store, a small strip mall), it considers the property’s “highest and best use” or what could potential-

Paul Holden

BURNABY BOARD OF TRADE

Each month, in this column, I write about a topic which is important to local businesses and top of mind at the Burnaby Board of Trade.

Lately, there is nothing that’s been getting our members talking more than the release of B.C. Assessment’s property valuations for 2019 and what they might mean for property taxes.

For homeowners, getting your property assessment in recent years has been akin to getting a winning lottery ticket – soaring property values have allowed many homeowners to amass considerable equity in their homes. For business owners, however, assessments in recent years have been more like opening the credit card bill after Christmas.

That’s because proper-

ly be built there instead. In a thriving and growing city like Burnaby, many properties have redevelopment potential which causes values to soar, even if there are no actual plans to redevelop the property and there have been no changes in zoning.

All of this means that the local butcher, green grocer or mechanic shop may be taxed not on what they use the property for now, but on the condo tower or office building which could potentially replace them in the future.

This has long been an irritant for businesses, but with the rapid appreciation of properties throughout the region, the time has come to fix it.

This is why the Burnaby Board of Trade has developed a series of solutions which we will work with government to advance.

These include considering what commercial properties are actually being used for when determining their taxable value and reducing

the impact of “highest and best use.”

We also will propose offering businesses similar exemptions and deferrals that homeowners currently enjoy, and making tax increases more gradual to help local businesses weather sudden and significant property value and tax increases.

Local businesses play a critical role in our communities by providing employment, generating economic growth, and contributing to the character of our neighbourhoods. I believe they need to be supported and protected from being forced out simply because of taxation.

Based on the buzz around the business community, I’m not the only one who thinks so.

Communitynow WILDLIFE

Bird lovers say water tunnel threatens habitat A group of Burnaby residents are demanding city council halt an infrastructure project they say will destroy sensitive bird habitat and permanently damage a beloved park.

Metro Vancouver plans to build the Second Narrows Water Supply Tunnel under Burrard Inlet from North Vancouver to Burnaby.The pipe and a new valve will connect with existing underground infrastructure in Second Narrows Park (also known as Montrose Park).

Burnaby council approved the plan in December, with councillors Colleen Jordan and Dan Johnston opposed, citing concerns over environmental impacts. A city report says roughly 75 trees will have to be cut down.

But a trio representing the Second Narrows Park Conservation Association came to a Jan. 28 council meeting to urge the mayor

and councillors to halt the project.

“Mayor Hurley and council, it’s never a wrong time to do the right thing,” Ken Georgetti said. “We implore you not to have this scar ... left on our park as part of your legacy.”

Cindy Oliver told council the cut-and-cover method of laying the pipe would take away a large portion of the relatively small park’s wooded area. She said the trees provide a sound barrier for area residents against noise from Second Narrows Bridge traffic and nearby train tracks.

“Surely you can take another look,” she said.

The third delegation member, former B.C. Field Ornithologists president George Clulow, said the plan to clear dozens of trees would negatively impact 43 bird species nesting in the park. He said the Migratory Birds Convention Act could come into force to stop the project.

Speaking to the NOW af-

ter the meeting, Georgetti said local politicians hadn’t spent enough time considering alternate locations for the water valve.

He said he was worried work on the project would disrupt the daily walks he

takes in the park with his wife.The park holds a special place in their lives, he said, and it’s shame to see it threatened.

“It’s full of wildlife,” he said. “It’s our Stanley Park.”

Georgetti also decried

what he called a lack of consultation leading up to decisions made by Metro Vancouver and Burnaby council.

But there was plenty of consultation, according to Sav Dhaliwal, a Burnaby

councillor and Metro Vancouver board chair. He said Metro Vancouver distributed literature to North Burnaby residents and held information sessions that were sparsely attended.

Dhaliwal said the project will go ahead, adding it’s “a bit late in the game” to stop and change course.

He said Metro Vancouver crews must cut down trees when migratory birds are south for the winter.

They’ll have to wait until next winter if they miss the current window, Dhaliwal said.

Approximately 75 trees will have to be cut to make way for the water line, he said, but most will either be replanted or will grow back on their own.

Dhaliwal said many locations for the underground water valve were considered and the current plan is “most likely the least destructive.”

Can this be recycled?

Want to travel? Then go ahead and pull the kids out of school Mommy’s

GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

During the weeks leading up to Christmas, I was hit hard by the desire to ditch the holidays and head out to a sunny destination with my family instead.

Determined to find a lastminute deal, I hit the internet, scouring travel websites for last-minute discounts to my favourite sunny spots, and to my dismay, travel prices during the holiday weeks were more than double the price of warmweather getaways during the weeks when school was in session.

It didn’t seem worthwhile to splurge substantially on a trip that could have cost half the price, so we waited.

Family travel – especially as a family of five – is not for the frugal. But price isn’t the only reason why I see nothing wrong with missing school in favour of a family

vacation.

Travelling during off-peak times allows you to avoid claustrophobic crowds in the more popular destinations, gives you more flexibility on when and where you can go and, most importantly, allows your children to be exposed to new cultures, and life experiences that can’t be taught in the classroom. And for some families who are working with a tight budget, travel during school days is the only option.

While I’m fully on board with pausing classroom education for real-life experiences, some parents believe that missing school for family travel is a bad idea.

In an article shared on Today’s Parent, one parent opposes the idea, stating that, “The classroom is a family and when one family member is gone, it makes a big difference – a group may be split up, a best friend may be alone on the playground or a reading buddy left out.

Any way you cut it, when your kiddo is (away) ... we all feel it.”

Disrupting a child’s regular routine, creating a backlog of schoolwork to catch up on, and brushing off strict attendance rules are some of the other reasons

The experiences and muchneeded family time are more than worth the extra work.

listed to support the argument against opting out of school for trips abroad.

Some educators are opposed too, with one school in Buckinghamshire even issuing fines for missing school for family travel without citing an “exceptional circumstance.”

Check the BC RECYCLEPEDIA www.rcbc.ca RECYCLING COUNCIL OF B.C. MEMBER

The catch-up may be tedious for the teachers (and our kids, too), but the experiences and much-needed family time are more than worth the extra work.

My 11-year-old will never forget strolling through the ruins of the castle in Heidelberg that was built in 1912, or the first time she tasted Maultaschen in an authentic restaurant in the small town of Baden-Baden, Germany. And my eight-yearold son will always remember counting the coatis and spotting the iguanas strolling along the sand on the beaches of Riviera Maya, Mexico.

There’s nothing wrong with taking a little time off to reconnect with your family, unplug from everyday life, and discover far-away places. If we could afford it, we would do it more often.

ASK A MORTGAGE BROKER

Q A Manager, Mortgage Broker

What are the Benefits of Home-ownership?

Despite deteriorating housing affordability across the country, buying a home is still the more affordable option when compared to renting.

Scenario #1: If interest rates remain the same of 3.25%, after 10 years the average net cost of owning is $1,014 less than the monthly cost of renting.

Scenario #2: If rates rise to 4.25% after five years, the average net cost of owning falls to $1,295 less than the monthly cost of renting.

Scenario #3: If rates rise to 5.25% after five years, the average net cost of owning is still $726 less than the monthly cost of renting.

By the time the mortgage is fully repaid in 25 years the cost of owning will be lower than the cost of renting, noting that the cost of owning, on average, would be $1,549 per month vs. $4,655 for an equivalent dwelling.

ASK A COIN & STAMP SPECIALIST

Q A

Who are “Hotel Buyers” and should I trust them?

Last month I said I would talk about the “Hotel Buyers” that come out from back east.You know, the ones that send out flyers through the mail and have large adds in the papers. They always come out in spring and fall. This means that they will be here in a couple of months. I have been writing about these companies for years. They claim to pay the highest JIM RICHARDSON prices possible. This claim is not true! I know that you could take your coins and gold to any reputable coin dealer with a store in all of Canada and receive considerably more than they pay. It does not matter if it is our store or any other, you get more elsewhere.

I will tell you about a mother and daughter that I just finished dealing with this past month. The mother went to these Hotel buyers and showed them her box of coins and gold jewelry. She was offered $500.00 for the entire amount and was told they were doing her a favour in paying her this amount. She called her daughter to see what she should do and wisely her daughter told her not to sell. They located our store through the Better Business Bureau and also liked our reviews. I was not told that they had an offer from theses Hotel buyers until after I made our offer. I paid the ladies $2,800.00 for almost everything that they had been offered only $500 for. This weekend I bought the last piece for $581.00. This is over six times what these Hotel buyers offered her.

Q A

My child is having trouble learning, does this mean they have a learning disability?

80% of referrals to school psychologists are for kids who cannot read words, spell, add and subtract or pay attention. It’s possible your child has a learning disability, but not necessarily. Kids can be stressed MAUREEN MACKINNON- out and distracted by many things such as MCQUARRIE, PH.D. feelings (e.g. sadness), physical sensations (e.g. stomach feels funny), thoughts (e.g. I can’t do this work), and experiences (e.g. no friends). Mindfulness practise can help kids be more aware of what is on their mind in the moment, reduce stress and improve focus (see Mind Shift app). Psychologists rule out significant stressors and lack of evidence based teaching before diagnosing a learning disability. A psychologist can screen your child for learning disability and will help you decide if a comprehensive diagnostic assessment is needed. An assessment will reveal your child’s strengths and needs and open the door to evidence based instruction, materials and programs to re-engage learning. Has your child been screened for learning disability?

ASK A HOME INSPECTOR

Q A

Why is the buyer home inspection in the wrong place?

The real estate industry is backwards. As it is now, both parties negotiate and agree on a price, get a home inspection and then renegotiate. Home David Asselin inspections performed in the middle of the Inspector transaction result in renegotiation, delays, stress and sometimes deals falling through. But, if the home inspection was done by the seller, at the beginning of the transaction, the first accepted offer would move to closing instead of renegotiation.

Pre-listing inspections allows the seller to find out exactly the state of the house and gives them time to make some repairs that could have otherwise jeopardized the transaction. Agents report that pre-inspected homes sell on average 30% faster and often for more money. If you are planning on selling, control the inspection process and get it done as early as possible.

David Asselin is the owner of Inspect Canada, the only home inspection firm that specializes in pre-listing inspections.

Communitynow Burnaby film studio marks milestone moment Cayley Dobie

cdobie@burnabynow.com

Last week, fans of the popular TV series Supernatural were treated to aWinchester family reunion on the show’s 300th episode, but for Alec Fatalevich the episode represented nearly a decade of achievement for his Burnaby-based movie studio.

Fatalevich and his wife, Marjorie Poore, both movie producers, arrived in the Lower Mainland from the United States 27 years ago.

At the time, British Columbia’s film industry was in its infancy and the region lacked a modern studio.

Fatalevich set out to change that.

“We decided to build a film studio,” he told the NOW. “I spent three years studying what needs to be done, how we can be ahead of the times, ahead of the schedule, ahead of the industry.”

The result was a small studio along the Fraser River in Burnaby called MJA Studios, which opened in 2000.The studio’s first client was Paramount Pictures’ I, Robot. It was a success and an impressive achievement for a small studio like MJA. “We had tremendous support from Hollywood – Hollywood was extremely interested in British Columbia,” Fatalevich said.

By 2004, the facility was renamed Canadian Motion Picture Park (CMPP) and four new stages were built.

That’s whenWarner Bros. approached Fatalevich

about making Firewall at the studio. Filming for the 2006 feature film starring Harrison Ford went well, and within the yearWarner Bros. was back with a new project, a TV series called Supernatural.

Pitched by creator Eric Kripke as “X-Files meets Route 66,” the TV series follows the adventures of the Winchester brothers, played

by Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles, as they fight demons, expel ghosts and drive around America in their ’67 Impala, listening to classic rock.

“Warner Bros. began to pay more attention to our facility because we were practically the newest, largest, the most advanced,

technologically, facility in British Columbia,” Fatalevich said.

From there, everything happened quickly, he said.

Supernatural’s producer flew out for a tour of the studio and within days a contract was signed. Fourteen years later and the studio is still home to Supernatural. (About half the show is filmed at the studios with the other half filmed on location.)

“When it comes to Supernatural, we don’t refer to it as a project, we refer to it as family, because everybody knows everybody – from top Hollywood people to the carpenter, electrician to catering,” Fatalevich said.

The show was (and still

is) a success on air and also for CMPP. It was the first of many series to film at the Burnaby studios and helped build the studio’s reputation as a state-of-the-art facility.

CMPP now includes 18 stages, a 12-acre backlot, 80,000 sq. ft. of office space and an additional 80,000 sq. ft. for construction, painting, wardrobe, set decoration and prop storage and special effects.

Its credit list includes Watchmen,Twilight’s Eclipse and New Moon, Red Riding Hood,TRON: Legacy, Legends of Tomorrow and, more recently, the Amazon series Man In The High Castle.

“We’ve become, according to industry, this is not my opinion, the largest in

Canada,” he said.

“We have pretty much everything a very small or very large movie needs.We practically can accommodate any movie, any budget, any project.”

Fatalevich said he owes a lot of CMPP’s success to Warner Bros. and Supernatural.

To honour this relationship, Fatalevich held a special ceremony at the studio in November to unveil a plaque marking the show’s 300th episode. It reads ‘The Supernatural Stages,’ a nod to the TV series that helped

put the Burnaby studio on the map.

The entire cast and crew was invited to the unveiling.

A number ofWarner Bros. executives and Supernatural producers also attended, as did Burnaby Mayor Mike Hurley and Burnaby-Edmonds MLA Raj Chouhan.

“It was very, very emotional. Everyone was hugging each other,” Fatalevich said. “This will be something we’ll remember when we get older – even when we’re gone, it’ll be remembered.”

Grandview puts it into gear for playoffs Dan Olson

It was just one goal, but it could be the start of something.

At least, that’s what the Grandview Steelers hope, as they ended the Pacific Junior B Hockey League regular season on Sunday with a 5-4 overtime win over Langley.

It took a second overtime session for the hosts to top Langley, but Tristyn Olson’s marker, 2:49 into the second five-minute session, is now considered momentum.

They hope that it can carry over as the team leaps into the playoffs against division

One banner is back.

Now, to defend the big one.

The Burnaby South Rebels earned full marks for a powerful performance Monday when they bested the New Westminster Hyacks 94-64 to reclaim the Burnaby-New West senior boys basketball playoff title.

They did it despite a case of fatigue from a three-game tourney run in Kelowna on the weekend.

After New West scored first, the Rebels fired off the next 12 points in an early burst of energy, but were up by just six after one quarter. Leading by 11 at halftime, Burnaby South found its legs and reeled off 31 points in the third quarter to power ahead 70-47 and cruise from there.

It wasn’t a perfect outing, but South coach Mike Bell said the players did a good job of pushing through it.

“We played really tired, but after travelling to Kelowna and getting three tough games there, it wasn’t a surprise,” said Bell. “Both teams were a bit sloppy at times (in the third quarter) and we got a few more shots off.”

Grade 12 guard Kyle Kirmaci lit it up for 24 points, two rebounds and two steals, while Sasha Vujisic knocked down 20 points and eight rebounds.

Contributing 10 points, seven boards and four steals was Justin Sunga.

The tournament in Kelowna saw the Rebels measure themselves against some of B.C.’s and Alberta’s best teams, falling 85-74 in the final to Vincent Massey of Winnipeg.

Burnaby South defeated Cardston 78-55 in the opener, then topped host Kelowna 89-55 in the semifinal.

The Lower Mainlands start next week, with South guaranteed a game at home.

rival Richmond, starting Thursday at Minoru Arena.

“We did get two points but over the last bit I think we played better than our record shows,” noted Grandview coach Stevan Matic. “Over the last little bit discipline has been an issue but we’ve worked on that and on our special teams, and those are going to be crucial (in the playoffs).”

Grandview has a challenge on its hands – having finished 16 points back of third place Richmond in the Tom Shaw Conference.

However, Matic said his group is looking at the match-up as a chance for a fresh start.

“We have nothing to lose but we don’t see

ourselves as underdogs,” he noted. “We’ve a strong team and a solid group of veterans who are going to play hard and play one game at a time.”

The 23-19-2 Steelers battled Richmond to a 2-2 record during the season, with a pair of 3-1 wins to their credit. Matic said a key part in any win will be slowing the Sockeyes down without incurring penalties.

“We’ve got to play smart hockey, have good puck management and make sure to avoid turning the puck over in scary places.”

The series continues Sunday, 7:15 p.m. at the Burnaby Winter Club, then Monday in Richmond. Game Four is slated for Feb. 20.

The Burnaby South Rebels ruled the roost, and now are making the most of it at the senior girls basketball Lower Mainland tournament.

Christened the Crehan Cup, the tourney features 12 teams vying for berths to next month’s 3-A provincials.

Burnaby South, as Burnaby-New West league champion, faced Killarney in the first round, pouncing to a 70-61 victory.

The Rebels led by 11 at half, and received balanced scoring, led by Awek Deng, Laini Glover and Stephi Zaborniak.

Both Burnaby Central and Burnaby Mountain, meanwhile, were looking to rebound after opening round losses.The Wildcats fell 78-65 to Steveston-London, while the Lions came up short 48-41 to John Oliver.

Team stockpiles backline players, now turns attention to acquiring shooters

Burnaby sends 14 to Games

Lakers land defensive building blocks Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

The back door crew just got a big boost.

The Burnaby Lakers used its first four picks in last Thursday’s Western Lacrosse Association draft to fortify the defence.

Without getting too clichéd, nearly every coach and GM state how winning all starts with strength on defence.

Burnaby’s Kevin Hill is one of those firm believers.

“I think we did very well and got exactly what we needed,” remarked the Lakers’ general manager of the draft, which saw Burnaby select Coquitlam grad Ryland Rees with the second overall pick. “We got bigger on the back end, which was one of our goals.We took a lot of good local ‘D’ guys -- now we’re going to work the telephone to acquire a shooter.”

Each of the team’s first four picks -- Rees, seventh overall Graydon Bradley, ninth overall Eric Kratz and 14th overall Tyson Kirkness -- is projected to

bolster a backline that surrendered the second-most goals in the WLA last year.

Rees, a PoCo product who was part of the junior Adanacs’ Minto Cup run after being acquired at the trade deadline, comes with an impressive pedigree as a two-way impact player.

“Ryland’s just a world-class calibre player,” said Hill of the righthander. “He plays the game hard, is a six-foot-two beast on transition who moves the ball well, is smart and athletic and can virtually do it all.”

Rees contributed 14 goals and 17 assists over 13 games after the trade, playing a specific role on a deep Adanac roster. Prior to the Minto Cup, the 21-yearold was one of the youngest players on Canada’s silver-medal team at last year’s FIL world lacrosse championships in Israel.

“When we spoke to some of (Rees’) previous coaches they talked about the intangibles, and how he’s a born leader.We’ve spoken with him before and since the draft, and he’s looking forward to playing for us.”

The first round saw a lot of offensive talents go after Coquitlam grabbed goalie Christan Del Bianco No. 1 overall, and Rees went second. Langley tagged Victoria’s Brad McCulley with the third overall pick, while another Shamrock, Marshal King, went fourth to Maple Ridge.The third member of Victoria’s powerful attack, league scoring champion Braylon Lumb, was chosen fifth by Nanaimo. New West grad Keegan Bell was picked sixth by Victoria.

Another PoCo product, Bradley, was called with the Lakers’ second pick in the first round, using a draft choice acquired last week from New West for veteran defender Justin Salt. At sixfoot-four, the right-side defender has made the jump from junior to pro, playing on the backline of the San Diego Seals of the National Lacrosse League.

“He’s got pro experience and is strong down low,” said Hill.

“He and (Rees) have played together for a long time, so they have chemistry.”

Kratz was able to wrestle the

WEDNESDAY OCTOBER

Fourteen Burnaby athletes are leaving the snowy Lower Mainland for snowy Red Deer this week for the 2019 Canada Winter Games, which open on Friday.

Competition will take place in 21 sports between teams from Canada’s 13 provinces and territories. Over half of Team B.C.’s 251 athletes and coaches bring with them experience from previous B.C.Winter or B.C. Summer Games.

The Burnaby contingent heading to Alberta covers nine different events.Those going are:Troy Chong (curling); Samantha Spencer, Ainsley Spencer (speed skating); Patrina Hui, Kenny Jiang (table tennis); Brendan Giang, Kiera Kam, Brendan Wong, HaileyYu (figure skating); Sasha Nixon (artistic swimming); Declan McLean (gymnastics); Maximus Joe (judo); Andy Lin (cross-country skiing); Taylor Nellis (alpine skiing).

B.C. junior league’s top goaltender award away from Del Bianco in 2017, as well as being named to the league all-star team twice.

Although Burnaby already has veterans Eric Penney and Zac Boychuk, Hill said it’s important to have good depth in goal. “(Kratz) always battled (Del Bianco) for the goaltender of the year award. Last year, when Penney went down with an injury, we were scrambling for another netminder.We don’t want to be in that position again,” said Hill.

As to Kirkness, the former junior Adanac has chemistry with Rees and Bradley, and previous to that served as Langley’s captain. He’s the lone lefthander among the top four picks, and at six-foot-two brings an abrasiveness that the Lakers covet.

“He gets under people’s skin,” said Hill.

Burnaby rounded out the draft by grabbing PoCo’s Brodie Gillespie, junior Laker product Mason Pomeroy, eastern import Matthew Kim of the jr. Adanacs, Burnaby’s Jordan Gabriele and Steven Robertson.

Metro Vancouver housing still ‘highly vulnerable’ even in slowdown Despite the market slowdown, Metro Vancouver’s housing market is still showing a “high degree of vulnerability” to key risk factors, according to the latest quarterly report released February 7 by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC).

The federal housing agency’s report examined the metropolitan area’s market activity in the fourth quarter of 2018, and maintained the same ratings from the previous quarter.

In particular, it found continued high evidence of overvaluation of real estate, even though prices in 2018’s fourth quarter had slipped from earlier in the year.

CMHC’s quarterly Housing Market Assessment examines urban real estate markets across Canada, assessing a combination of four key risk factors: overvaluation of house prices in comparison with levels that can be supported by economic fundamentals; overheating, when demand for homes in the region outpaces supply; sustained

acceleration in house prices; and overbuilding, when the inventory of available homes exceeds demand.

CMHC also found that in 2018’s fourth quarter, Metro Vancouver remained at “moderate risk” of overheating and and price growth acceleration. The report said that even though prices are slowing, the HMA framework dictates that a risk of price acceleration is still present if there have been significant price surges in “at least one quarter in the prevous three years” — in this case referring to the skyrocketing prices of 2016.

Limited inventory of new homes has led to low evidence of the fourth risk factor — overbuilding.

PRICES VERSUS FUNDAMENTALS Eric Bond, manager, market analysis at CMHC, said in the report, “Home price levels [remain] high relative to local incomes and economic fundamentals,

Connecting agents to the community

leading to CMHC’s continued detection of overvaluation in the Metro Vancouver housing market.”

The report authors added, “While the imbalances in the [Metro Vancouver] market are now narrowing… these developments are recent and additional evidence is needed to change our assessment. If current trends persist with the easing of overvaluation conditions, overvaluation will move from high to moderate.”

Bob Dugan, CMHC’s chief economist, told a media conference February 7, “Overvaluation doesn’t really have anything to do with affordability. They are two separate concepts. You can have prices in line with fundamentals, and no overvaluation, but that doesn’t mean affordability isn’t a challenge. It just means that there is a relationship between economic fundamentals and home prices that can explain the level of those prices.”

OBITUARIES A Heartrending Tribute to My Son

ANTONIAS, Tony Born in Port Pirie, South Australia, 12 January 1930.

Passed away peacefully at Royal Columbian Hospital on 25 January 2019, listening to his beloved classical music. Loved son of George and Helen Antonias (both deceased) and admired brother of Koula (deceased), Vicki, Thecla, Irene and Bill. Brother-in-law to Andrew (deceased), Jack (deceased), Con and Peter. Uncle and great uncle to their many respective children. Loving lifelong companion to Pat MacPherson.

Always keen to hear news from home, Tony never forgot where he came from, and visited regularly through the years to reconnect with his family and friends. He will be sadly missed.

NERADA, Jamieson Lloyd December 16, 1965 – January 8, 2019 My cherished and gentle Jamie has now sadly gone from me, leaving to take his very special place in heaven where his spirit will continue to shine.

He has left behind so many kind medical staff from Vancouver General Hospital, Burnaby General Hospital, and Fraser Health Community Respiratory Services. With untiring energy they looked after Jamie’s severe and numerous overlapping autoimmune disorders, with which he struggled so bravely. He had made many friends along the way, including his long time pharmacy staff that looked after his needs with such personal care.

In respect to Jamie’s wishes, I want to convey to those who took part in his countless medical visits a special “thank you and God bless” from both Jamie and I, namely: Dr. G. Thauli N.P. L. Christoff Dr. S. Kwan (ICU) Dr. D. Telio Dr. A How Leo (Therapist) Dr. N. Khalil Dr. W. Yu Dr. N. Brunner and team M. Galpin Dr. T. Winstone Kathryn Lawson Dr. M. Lee Lauren Lawson . Dr. G. Sing (IBD) .

Throughout his life, Jamie was very kind and thoughtful, considerate by nature, of quiet demeanor and respectful to all.

“How much you tried to help me, as sick as you were, and then apologize for failing your small task”.

My heart belongs to you forever, dearest “Jame”.

You are the most precious treasure that there was ever to be in my life, always my guide and inspiration.

His family extends a special thank you to Tony’s many friends in Canada, and to the nursing staff who showed him such care and compassion. Tony fully embraced his “adopted” home of New Westminster with zest and enthusiasm. His artistic interests played out in his passionate support for and promotion of the arts and cultural community.

Some of his favourites included; The Massey Theatre Society, Arts Council of New Westminster, Vagabond Players at the Bernie Legge Theatre, Royal City Musical Theatre, The Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, The New Westminster Symphony and The Raymond Burr Society. Honours returned to Tony through receiving the Bernie Legge Cultural Award in 2000, followed by the New Westminster Citizen of the Year in 2006.

Tony left his mark on people and places through the medium of radio advertising and in his extensive volunteer work. He was a constant presence at and contributor during New Westminster City Council meetings. Tony’s volunteer work at Royal City Canada Day Celebrations and on Seniors Day was an extension of the same spirit of giving developed through his long career at CKNW radio. His radio colleagues were loved like family.

To anyone who automatically whistles the tune when they hear the words; $1.49 day, Woodwards, please give a nod to Tony, the creator of this inspired jingle, which in 1964 won one of “The World’s Best Broadcast Advertising” for the Hollywood Advertising Club. It ran for 35 years and Tony was recently lauded on the 60th anniversary of its creation. Tony was also a proud recipient of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal in 2013.

It is truly a person’s family and friendships which enrich a life and so Tony was richly blessed. Many have felt his loss deeply, for his presence was unforgettable. Cherished friends and family eased his last days at the hospital, either by physical presence or, if unable to visit, through heartfelt wishes and messages.

A celebration of Tony’s life will be held February 23, 2019 at 2pm at the Massey Theatre in New Westminster. In lieu of flowers, donations will be gratefully accepted by either the Massey Theatre Society or the Royal City Musical Theatre.

From his family, Vale Tony, always remembered and in our thoughts. Memory eternal.

Catherine Ellen Higgins passed peacefully in Burnaby General Hospital on January 25, 2019. Catherine was born in Hannah, AB on March 3, 1928. She is predeceased by her husbands Weldon Olive, Oscar Higgins and Syd Fry; two children Harvey Weldon and Rita Marjorie. She is survived by 3 or her 5 children, Vera Kathleen Savage, Colin Thomas Olive (Wendy Jordan-Olive) and Ian Douglas Olive (Mary Beres); her grandchildren Scott Thomas, Steve Leslie, Eric Weldon, Jessica Bernice, Shaun Harvey and Michelle Louise.

There will be a memorial service at St. Michaels and All Angels Anglican Church, 608 Sutherland Avenue, in Kelowna on Saturday, February 16 at 11:00am.

There will be a luncheon to follow. Internment following at 2:00pm at Lakeview Memorial Cemetary at 2850 Dry Valley Road, Kelowna.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests you make a donation to The Royal Canadian Legion Branch 26, Poppy Fund, in Catherine’s name.

HOUSTON, Robert (Bert) George November 19, 1923 - January 31, 2019 Bert, born and raised in New Westminster, predeceased by his wife Margaret, survived by his son Laurie, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Bert worked for the City of New Westminster, with the Electrical Department. He is a member of Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame, and a long time member of the Hyack Anvil Battery.

He touched many people in his lifetime, and will be missed deeply by family and friends.

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.
