City to pursue bike-share pilot program

Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Burnaby residents will likely soon have a new way to get around town, when a bike-share pilot program launches. On Monday, city council approved a recommendation from municipal staff to advance a request for qualifications from potential bike-share operators. The city has already been approached by several op-

erators looking to expand in Burnaby, according to a staff report. Bike-sharing systems provide short-term rentals. Allowing such a service in Burnaby could have many benefits, as well as potential drawbacks, the report says. “Bike-sharing can increase mobility choice and flexibility, reduce congestion and fuel use, provide for multimodal transport connections (e.g. use of transit and cycling to make on

trip), and even replace or supplement trips that may be circuitous or inconvenient by another mode,” wrote city staff. The report compares the pros and cons of the two main types of bike-sharing systems: docked and dockless. Docked systems use “kiosk-based docking systems.” They are less prone to theft, make bike maintenance easier and have better control over who can access the

bikes, staff wrote. But, the report says, docked systems require operators to constantly shift bikes around docking stations, are more expensive and often require a public subsidy. Dockless systems have users park bikes either anywhere in the service area or in specified areas, often identified with paint on sidewalks. “These schemes provide greater flexibility by elimi-

nating the need for permanent docking stations, and provide more convenience for users in location and dropping off bicycles,” the report says. Staff note the dockless systems can clutter public spaces and make bike maintainance harder. The City of Vancouver launched Mobi by Shaw Go in 2016, a docked bikeshare system that now has 175 stations and 1,500 bikes in use.

UBC, Richmond and Port Coquitlam are launching their own pilot programs, according to the report. The city will request proposals from potential operators to launch an 18-month pilot program that will inform policy changes for a potential permanent system. Staff want to see a system in which the city’s fees and permits cover all costs associated with the bike-share system.

Plans unveiled for South Burnaby arena

Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

The City of Burnaby expects to begin construction on its newest arena in June. The South Burnaby Arena will add two NHL-sized ice rinks with 411 spectator seats to the Edmonds Town Centre area. It will also include a skate shop, concession, offices, multi-purpose rooms and a rooftop patio. The rezoning of the site at the corner of 10th Avenue and 18th Street was finalized in January and the project’s designer, HCMA Architecture + Design, is finalizing its contract documents while city staff prequalify potential contractors, according to a city report. The rinks are expected to be open in late summer 2021. In the same city report, staff updated council on the status of several other major projects underway. Preliminary project developments are underway for a replacement of the CG Brown Memorial Pool and Burnaby Lake Ice Rink; replacement of theWillingdon Community Centre; addition of new space to supplement the Eileen Dail-

tres to school campuses in the city.The modular buildings are expected to be in place this summer at Montecito Elementary School and Capitol Hill Elementary School, followed by

one at Stride Community School by June 2020. The city is in talks with the school board to have another child-care facility at Cascade Heights Community School.

Burnaby is also studying the feasibility of installing emergency backup generators at Edmonds Community Centre, Bonsor Recreation Complex and the Shadbolt Centre for the

Arts. Construction is now underway for the first phase of the redevelopment of the city’s main engineering and public works yard on Laurel Street.

TRANSPORTATION

Separated path approved for the Gilmore overpass

Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Burnaby bicyclists will soon have a safer way to cross the Gilmore Diversion over Highway 1. City council approved a plan on Monday to construct a multi-use path separated from traffic by a concrete barrier on the west side of the overpass. One lane of northbound traffic will be removed to make way for the new infrastruc-

ture. The new lane was first designed by city staff in 2015 but was shelved as the city hoped to have the entire overpass replaced by the province. But a recent letter from the Ministry of Transportation indicated it wouldn’t be replaced for another 20 to 25 years. According to Burnaby city staff, the overpass built in 1964 has the lowest clearance of any overpass between Vancouver and

Hope and has been repeatedly struck by trucks on the

highway. The 3.5 metre wide

multi-use path will be open to pedestrians and cyclists going both northbound and southbound. “The lane closure would extend from Myrtle Street in the north to Dominion Street in the south, providing space for the MUP not just on the overpass but on the approaches as well,” city staff explain in a report to council. In 2015 “analysis indicated that traffic operations with only one northbound

lane would be reasonable until the overpass was ultimately replaced, but there would be some traffic delays.” The project’s estimated cost is $3 million.TransLink committed $790,000 to the project in 2015, which expires at the end of 2019. Staff plan to advance the project as quickly as possible to take advantage of the funding, with construction estimated to complete in 2020.

Jail term for man arrested at Burnaby park with handguns, smoke grenade and a sword Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A 31-year-old man arrested near Burnaby’s Central Park with two loaded handguns, ammunition, cash, bear mace, a smoke grenade and a sword has been handed a four-year jail sentence. Jesse Diamond Noel was charged with a number of offences, including posses-

sion of a loaded prohibited handgun without a licence and obstructing a police officer in relation to an incident on Nov. 19, 2016. On the evening of Nov. 18, 2016, Burnaby RCMP responded to a call of a robbery with a handgun. The suspect had fled, and police set up surveillance in the area. At about 12:55 a.m. on Nov. 19, 2016, they spotted

a 1997 Buick parked near Central Park. Police determined the licence plate belonged to a vehicle registered in Noel’s name but that the Buick was not that vehicle. Approaching with weapons drawn, they found Noel reclined in the driver’s seat.With him were three dogs. After first refusing to exit the vehicle, he eventually came out with one of

the dogs. He then paced a bit and suddenly sprinted away from the scene, but the officers caught and tackled him, and he was brought back to the scene. A search of the vehicle revealed a loaded .45 calibre handgun with a round in the chamber in the glove box and a loaded .357 magnum revolver in the pocket of a jacket. Police also found $1,720

in cash, a sword, mace and a smoke grenade. Noel, who was under a firearms prohibition because of a 2012 North Vancouver robbery conviction, pleaded guilty in September 2018 to five firearms charges. The rest of the charges against him, including a charge of obstructing a police officer, were stayed. B.C. Supreme Court

Justice Gordon Weatherill said in a sentencing ruling: “Mr. Noel’s conduct in this case was serious and, quite simply, unacceptable. “In my view, there is no justification for him having been in possession of, not one, but two loaded handguns at the time of his arrest.” Along with the jail sentence, Noel was handed a lifetime firearms ban.

City now City eyes free street parking near Burnaby Hospital Desirée Garcia

editorial@burnabynow.com

Free street parking surrounding Burnaby Hospital is being considered as a way to ease the burden on people visiting patients or using health-care services. Burnaby council passed a motion on Monday night asking city staff to come back with options on how to make street parking free around the hospital. The city has no control over the parking on the hospital grounds, where the Fraser Health Authority has jurisdiction and charges rates that some call unfair. The group HospitalPayParking.ca was founded to lobby to eliminate pay parking at hospitals. Group founder Jon Buss says the fees are “immoral” and reduce access to health care. The City of Burnaby controls parking on the streets surrounding the hospital off Kincaid Street. Coun. Pietro Calendino, who presented the motion, said the city recognizes the issue of enforcing and monitoring parking without meters from people who may choose to abuse the liberty. “That’s why we hope staff will come back and give us

options on how we can do that,” Calendino said. Calendino said the city received a proposal last week by an individual suggesting parking on hospital grounds be made free for

hospital visitors and their supporters. Calendino said he could only make a motion for what the city has authority over. –With files from Business inVancouver

BCA councillors split on basement plan kgawley@burnabynow.com

Members of the same political party accused one another of obstructionism, broken campaign promises and ulterior motives at a Burnaby council meeting on Monday. “There’s been a realignment of loyalties around the table,” Coun. Colleen Jordan told the NOW following the meeting, which saw two of her housing policy proposals voted down. Jordan first tried to amend a bylaw that was up for second reading – a rare occurrence at such a late stage in the process. If it reaches final adoption, the bylaw will allow homeowners and new home builders to have more below-ground floor space. Jordan’s amendment would have required that space to be a secondary suite. The existing proposal requires only that the larger basements are “suite ready” by B.C. Building Code

standards. Jordan said she was “fundamentally not in support” of the basement-expanding zoning change but felt she could support an amended version of it after hearing from residents eager to build basement suites at a recent public hearing. “I’ve listened very carefully,” she said. But several of her fellow councillors spoke against the amendment before it was narrowly defeated. Coun. Sav Dhaliwal said Jordan should have proposed the requirement earlier in the process, when city staff were studying the issue. “I’ve never seen a bylaw being changed on the fly like this,” he said. Coun. Pietro Calendino said he was “somewhat confused” by the amendment, as Jordan had previously raised concerns about the cost to homeowners of making their basements suiteready. “So I’m kind of confused, and I’m not sure why she’s

bringing this up other than for obstructionist purposes, so I’m speaking against the amendment,” he said. Mayor Mike Hurley raised a point of order, telling Calendino the word “obstructionist” was inappropriate at the council table. Calendino said he thought it was parliamentary language but retracted

the word, saying “I will … say that she is simply trying to delay the process.” Jordan’s amendment failed by a 5-4 margin, with Dhaliwal, Hurley, Calendino, Coun. Joe Keithley and Coun. James Wang opposed.The unamended bylaw passed second reading with Jordan and Coun. Dan Johnston opposed. Calendino – who present-

ed the initial motion that led to the bylaw – and others on council have said they hope the change will lead to more suites being built and rented out in Burnaby, where new rental supply is desperately needed. “It is an item that I had asked for several years and that Colleen and the former Mayor would not hear of it,” Calendino told the NOW

in an email after the meeting. “We had many members of the public ask us to allow them to develop the crawl space for accommodating either family members or to rent out in a secondary suite.” Jordan told the NOW she thought her colleagues’ stated reasons for backing the change were false. “The bylaw is not about the suite … never has been,” Jordan said. “It’s just to allow bigger basements.” Later in the meeting, a second proposal of Jordan’s was also defeated. Jordan’s motion would have requested city staff to study the “advisability and feasibility” of the city contributing up to $20,000 per unit to organizations building non-market housing projects in Burnaby. This could expedite the construction of 1,000 units of affordable housing currently at various stages of development in the city, she said. Continued on page 11 P to by Edgar Bullon Pho

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Flippant comments not helping student loan debate

BC Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson can’t catch a break — and it’s his own fault. One moment, he’s excoriated for his comments about renters — for which he apologized, although even that was late, after he attempted to power through the controversy by spinning talking points — and now his comments about interest-free student loans have people in a tizzy on social media. Wilkinson apparent-

ly raised the ire of mostly NDP MLAs about his concerns about students racking up all kinds of debt if loans are interest-free after the NDP government eliminated the interest on B.C. student loans effective Feb. 19. Is he right about that? Would students go crazy and hit the bars, restaurants and online shopping sites now that loans are interest free? Hardly. First, those who have

loans still had to pay interest until Feb. 19 (at the prime rate, currently, 3.95 per cent) plus they will still have to pay interest on the Canada Student Loan portion, as much as seven per cent or more depending on the type of loan. Those are still substantial interest rates, and while Wilkinson is understandably warning about problematic debt, he can surely admit that a break on B.C. student loans can only help. The previous BC Liber-

al government could have cancelled the interest sooner, but it wasn’t a priority, especially since for a number of years, interest rates were low. The rates are not low now and they are climbing. If students can get a bit of a break on their debt, they will be better placed to move on with their lives once they graduate, and we think it’s the government’s job to ensure that post-secondary education is affordable.

As for students starting out racking up a lot of debt, we think that won’t happen needlessly. It’s not easy to get a student loan — there are all sorts of requirements, parents are expected to kick in a portion and their assets are part of the documentation. Still, it’s important that students look at the long term and whether the degree they are getting will generate the job — and the income — to pay off the

debt they may incur. Nobody likes to hear about school debt killing the future of young people who are already facing high housing costs and higher fees on everything from car insurance to electricity to gas. If Wilkinson wants to tackle affordability issues for young people, he has to understand students’ current experience, not make flippant comments based on his own outdated views and partisan politicking.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

MLAs terriﬁed of losing control It looks like the inmates have reclaimed control of the asylum. That’s one takeaway from the collective decision by B.C.’s MLAs to hire an esteemed former chief justice to examine allegations against the legislature’s clerk and Sgt.-at-Arms. The move to hire Beverly McLachlin to investigate allegations made by Speaker Darryl Plecas against the two table officers is impressive. We will now have a highly respected professional examining a controversy that has rocked the legislature like nothing before, as it was slowly but surely sapping the MLAs of their ability to control the place. With each passing day since Plecas’ explosive allegations, power shifted out of the MLAs hands and into the Speaker’s, and his own special aide, Allan Mullan. It took weeks for MLAs, through their own Legislature Assembly Management Committee, to figure out how to regain control. First, they called in B.C.’s independent auditor-general to conduct an audit of legislature finances.They were going to go outside the province for that job, until it was pointed out to the MLAs that only Carol Bellringer, the B.C. auditor-general, has the statutory authority to dive into the legislature’s books. Bellringer’s appointment began to lower the temperature.The LAMC members also agreed to bring in an “eminent jurist” to handle the investigation. Due to McLachlin’s sterling reputation, her findings will likely be deemed unassailable.

This is critically important, since only she is stepping into this whole mess with any kind of credibility and non-partisanship. For example, the relationship between the Speaker’s office and the Official Opposition appears to have completely broken down to the point of almost open warfare between the two sides – an unheard of situation in aWestminster parliament model. Given Plecas’ lack of neutrality in the matter, it was urgent that an independent outsider step in to be the final arbiter and restore some normalcy to the situation. The three house leaders actually hired McLachlin, and her terms of reference require her to report out to them – not LAMC, of which Plecas is a member. This is another deft touch for the MLAs to regain control of the legislature and of this controversy.That will come at the Speaker’s expense. One could almost hear a collective sigh of relief in the legislature corridors as word spread of McLachlin’s hiring. Many legislature staff members seemed genuinely excited by the prospect of such a learned and independent person coming in to take control. Last year, McLachlin, retired from the bench, published a crime novel entitled Full Disclosure. Ironically, that title reflects exactly what is needed in this controversy. Depending on what she digs up in this thing, she may have a sequel on her hands. Keith Baldrey is chief political correspondent for Global BC.

Drug house irks neighbours Longtime residents of the neighbourhood above Deer Lake were ticked off at a landlord of a rental property that was raided five times in four years as a marijuana grow house.The latest raid at the house at 6731 Bryant St. had taken place in July, and police had found a high-tech stun gun and pepper spray along with 100 pot plants. Neighbours wanted the landlord held responsible, but police said their hands were tied, and the owner said there was little he could do if would-be tenants lie on their applications. He said he had to pay $7,000 to repair the home.

Metrotown an example of diverse livability

Editor: Re: Burnaby should displace homeowners, not renters, NOW March 5 Burnaby needs more mid-density ground-oriented housing. Plus, plenty of opportunities exist to transition the older single-family housing stock on key transportation routes to something better that creates a range of affordable choices. First, let’s stick with existing plans in place for the major city centres. Re-working core area densities mid-stream can be fatal, upending years of careful development planning. Major investments take time to mature and come together in a way that can create centres of remarkable livability that will also diminish need for single occupant vehicles. Metrotown shows what is possible, and the Brentwood/Gilmore/Holdom corridor will soon become another great area of diverse livability. Another example of what is working, and more is needed, are the apartments springing up along the busy Hastings transit corridor. The mid-density gap is what the mayor is rightly talking about. Where are the new multifamily “front doors on the street” that create a similar situation to what Burnaby citizens have long enjoyed? I hear from family and friends they would be happy to move if new, easily accessible housing, like townhouses, were available. This could also include row-houses, multi-plexes, and other low-rise developments that allows retention of the personal space and privacy not

always available in high-density living. This housing transition must also recognize the immense political resistance that will emerge if the only choice for single family homeowners is into towers or even apartments. Thus, the mayor is absolutely right to raise for public debate what other housing choices are necessary and acceptable. And where can this mid-density, ground-oriented housing opportunity be first implemented, without huge disruption to existing single family neighbourhoods? We just heard Dairyland has been sold, located next to the SkyTrain station on Sperling. The adjoining Telus site appears close to being sold, and nearby are some very large single family lots that too should be included in this transition. The city calls this area the Bainbridge Village, and it’s about time that the Sperling SkyTrain station, now open for some two decades, gets serious development planning attention. Accordingly, I respectfully suggest to mayor and council, make the Bainbridge Village redevelopment plan a high priority. And a core planning objective is to engage developers and the public to whether this area can become a new mixed-use model that accommodates all forms of housing choices, including those lands north to Broadway and east to Bainbridge. And before we pursue lessons from the uberwealthy political enclave of Bonn, the former west German capital, how about a dialogue with local people to create “Made in Burnaby” housing solutions.

Ground broken on 91-unit housing complex

Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Politicians gathered for a groundbreaking ceremony in Edmonds Tuesday to mark the start of construction on a 91-unit seniors housing complex. They then walked down the road for a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a recently completed 90-unit affordable housing project on 15th Street.The new building across the street from Ernie Winch Park includes two-, three- and four-bedroom units, including five designed for disabled residents. Together, the two projects will replace the old Cedar Place housing complex on an adjacent 14th Avenue lot, which now sits empty, boarded up and behind a fence. Burnaby Mayor Mike

Hurley praised the project for its strategy of replacing outdated housing without displacing tenants. Residents from the old buildings were able to move into the new one soon after it was completed and are now pay-

ing subsidized rents pegged to 30 per cent of their income, he said. The city contributed $8.5 million directly and $28.5 million indirectly to the project, Hurley said. The mayor said Tuesday’s update was a step in the

right direction towards improving the affordability of housing in the city. “It’s good progress but we need more housing like this – much more,” Hurley said. The old Cedar Place will be demolished to make way for the seniors housing (expected complete by early 2021), plus five condo buildings built by developer Ledingham McAllister. Burnaby–Edmonds MLA Raj Chouhan praised the model used in the development that saw B.C. Housing, the provincial government, the City of Burnaby and Ledingham McAllister partner to make it happen. “It’s through these innovative public and private partnerships that we’ll be able to deliver more affordable rental options for seniors and families,” he said.

City now Calendino denies breaking promise Continued from page 7 All four councillors who sit on the new Mayor’s Task Force on Community Housing – Keithley, Dhaliwal,Wang and Calendino – spoke against the motion. They said Jordan’s proposal could eventually be one piece of the solution to housing affordability, but the task force should be allowed to do its work looking at the broader picture before presenting its final report in six months. Calendino said Jordan had the opportunity to bring this idea forward during her many years as chair of the city’s planning and development committee but never did. (Hurley has since removed her from the committee.) “We cannot solve this problem just by a single solution,”Wang said. Jordan told the NOW she was disappointed to see the motion fail. “I don’t think council should cease doing anything until six months from now,” she said. “I’m not ready to sit around and wait and not do anything for the next six months, but I guess I have to find something else to convince them that we should actually do.” Jordan, Johnston,Wang, Dhaliwal and Calendino are

all members of the Burnaby Citizens Association (as are councillors Paul McDonell and Nick Volkow). The party held every seat on council before Hurley (an independent) and Keithley (from the Green Party) were elected last fall. Jordan said subsidizing non-market housing with city cash was in her party’s election platform. Asked what she thought the apparent divide meant for the future of her party, Jordan said “Who knows? I don’t know.” “(It) doesn’t look like you can count on what they promised to do when they

were running for office, because they all signed off on it,” she said. In an email, Calendino said, “I am not breaking any campaign promise at all.” “The task force is working very hard and very fast, and recommendations will come before we know it,” he said. “It should be given a chance to show what it can accomplish, not undermine it or dictate to it what it should do.” Calendino called Jordan’s $20,000-per-unit suggestion “a fictitious figure that may or may not facilitate any more non-market housing.”

Putting Burnaby on the cultural map Luminescence IV is part of Deer Lake Gallery’s drive to become a must-see destination on the arts scene Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

The biggest challenge in staging one of the most successful art shows in the Lower Mainland? Topping yourself every year. Teena Martin, executive director of the Burnaby Arts Council, knows that challenge well. She’s currently pulling together the final bits and pieces for the opening night of Luminescence IV – the arts council’s annual show of works celebrating light, held at Deer Lake Gallery each year for the spring equinox. “The first one was huge,” Martin says, recalling the lineup of gallery-goers that streamed down Deer Lake Avenue to squeeze in to the small gallery on opening night.That year’s crowd was attracted by the viral buzz around an infinity room created by Burnaby artist Ron Simmer. “Each one has been successful, but to try to reach that mountain?” Fortunately, that “mountain” is reachable – and then some – with the kind of lineup Martin has set for this year. Martin says artist interest in the show has increased exponentially since the first one. “I get calls all year round, ‘When is the Luminescence call going out?’ It’s very much on peoto see people of all ages turn out ple’s minds,” she says. “More artfor the opening night festivities. ists are interested, and the quality Some of the works in the show is outstanding. … Each year the will appeal particularly to kids – artwork gets better and better.” not the least of which is the dragThis year’s headlining piece is once again created by Simmer: the on they’ll get a chance to climb on and interact with.

can be rewarding, he says, but nothing like what folks can expect from Saturday. “At Luminescence opening, it’s a party,” he says with a grin. For Martin, Luminescence is just one aspect of the work the Burnaby Arts Council is doing to position itself as an ever-growing force in the city’s cultural scene. She sees Luminescence as part of a package of events – including the Park’s Edge Paint-Off live art battles, Live at the Gallery music nights, an upcoming fashion show and art auction, and a series of

First Nations cultural events that the gallery is integrating into its year-round programming – that are helping to make Deer Lake Gallery a force to be reckoned with. She says support from the city, which provides the home the gallery is located in and an annual operating grant, is invaluable to the arts council’s efforts. And the arts council is working hard to broaden the organization’s base of support with corporate sponsorship: Norburn Lighting has come on board as the present-

ing sponsor for Luminescence IV, and Prime Image is also sponsoring. “We couldn’t make this happen on the scale it is without these sponsors,” she said. With Burnaby’s rapid growth and development, Martin says, it’s all the more important to help ensure the city has a vibrant cultural scene to help engage and connect the community. “How do you define Burnaby? What are we defined by?” she says. “Let’s define us as a diverse city to go to live, create, play, work, not just exist and travel to Vancouver for arts and culture. … “Why can’t Burnaby be a cultural hub, a cultural destination?” For Withers, Luminescence is a giant part of moving Burnaby in that direction. “It’s one of the biggest must-do arts programs in the city,” he says. “The show has become a magnet for a different approach to art.”

Artsnow Ride the Berzerkatroid Dragon Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

When you create a mirrored infinity room that draws thousands of visitors for a show’s inaugural outing, it’s pretty hard to top yourself. But Ron Simmer’s willing to give it a whirl. The Burnaby sculptor is best known locally for his self-described “accidental viral” installation, A NightWalk in Falling Snow, at the first Luminescence exhibition in 2016. He’s returning for the fourth incarnation of Luminescence with another sure-to-be-popular creation: the Berzerkatroid Dragon. The dragon – which checks in at 16 feet long, nine feet high and seven feet wide, weighing about 450 pounds – will be installed on the lawn at Deer Lake Gallery, and it will be breathing fire for the opening and closing night festivities. (Because it requires fire permits, the flame won’t be active all the time.) Yes, that’s actual fire.The sculpture features a propane fire effect, fabricated by Daniel Stratten of Think Industrial, that viewers can set off with a lever when they climb aboard. “Every little kid has seen a movie about riding a dragon,” Simmer says with a laugh. The dragon was a hit when it appeared at theVancouver Art Gallery’s plaza as part of the Lumiere Festival in November – “we had a ton of little kids riding on it,” Simmer says. The dragon initially came about as a result of a $1,500 grant from the GreaterVancouver Interactive Arts Society, a local arm of the Burning Man community.

Grant Withers no longer tells people he’s a photographer. “People ask, ‘What do you shoot? Do you do weddings?’” he says. “When people think ‘photography,’ they’re going to be surprised to see what I have on offer.” Yes,Withers’ work starts as a conventional photograph – but that’s just the beginning. He’s then taking work, printing it on photo paper and cutting and manipulating it into three-dimensional shapes, lit from within or without. His goal is to explore different ways of storytelling “using the medium to tell the story that the photograph itself tells.” For Luminescence IV, Withers has created a work called Solar Flair (yes, that spelling of “flair” is intentional) – an animated, moving sculpture. “The shadows that it

“The whole Burning Man thing is about interactive art in the public sphere,” Simmer notes. His dragon was designed to travel to a variety of local events around the Lower Mainland andVancouver Island. Originally, Simmer notes, his intention had been to buy a dragon to refit. He knew of artists who had created such a creature out of old car parts for the Bass Coast Festival in Merritt years ago. But a deal to buy that dragon fell through, so he decided to create his own instead. He worked alongside metalworker Nathyn Sanche to scrounge large-diameter, curved stainless steel tubing. “We just raided all the scrap yards,” he says, noting they only had to use a few new pieces to create the body.The whole thing was created in parts so that it can be easily assembled and disassembled for transport. (“Building big

things is a bad idea if you can’t transport them,” he says wryly, in the tone of one who’s been there, done that.) Simmer doesn’t make his living from art; he runs a patent research business as his full-time occupation. But his large-scale public art creations can be found in a variety of different locations. Many of his pieces, he notes, are rented to take part in special events or to display in public places for periods of time – like a giant nose sculpture that’s currently on display on El Paseo, the high-end shopping area of Palm Desert, California. He’s also a board member of Burnaby Arts Council, and he’s contemplating ways to help channel the whole “selfie art” culture into new, immersive art experiences right here at home. “We’ve got lots of good plans around here,” he says. “Maybe we can put Burnaby on the map.”

IN THE SPOTLIGHT-

casts are more fascinating than the piece itself,” he says. “It’s all about the sun, the movement of the sun, the play of light and shadow.” Withers says the chance to be part of Luminescence has inspired him to push his art further and to keep exploring what he can do with photography. “It’s really experimenting with what an art medium can do,” he says. “It’s a snowball effect: you see one possibility, and that affects what I try next. I’m moving to a conclusion I just can’t envision yet.” Withers’ artistic journey is taking his own practice away from what he calls “pretty photography” and towards “art that says a bit more than just ‘wow, look at me.’” He wants to engage his audience in deeper thinking, he says, which means he demands more of his own work. “Creating art that’s pretty makes the art very ephem-

eral.You see it, you’re maybe wowed by it, and you move on,” he says. “I need to grow and work a bit harder and have pieces that last, that people want to linger over.” He wants viewers to come to their own conclusions about his work, he says – whatever those conclusions may be.

“There are as many interpretations as there are people looking at it,” he says. He’s looking forward to the opening night celebrations, when visitors have a chance to talk about the art with the artists themselves. And, yes,Withers loves overhearing conversations about his own art – good or bad. “I invite frank feedback,” he says, noting he’s intrigued by the kind of art that provokes feelings of dislike or revulsion in people – and trying to figure out why it does. “I want something that provokes something.These days I’m looking at those things that cross that line. … I’m fascinated by that.” Withers is also looking forward to seeing what the other artists have come up with and talking to them about their own work. “Each time I’m blown away by the art that’s on display,” he says. “It’s very inspiring.”

WHO’S KATHRYN WADEL? The Toronto native moved west to study at Emily Carr University of Art + Design, where she graduated in 2017. These days, she lives in Burnaby and works as an associate at James Black Gallery in Vancouver, where she keeps her studio. WHERE SHE FINDS HER INSPIRATION: Wadel has had a lifetime fascination with science, and her art practice continues to cycle back to science. A recent major project was a piece she created as part of the Leaning Out of Windows exhibition in 2018, a partnership between Emily Carr University and the TRIUMF particle accelerator centre at UBC. For that show, she interpreted the idea of a particle accelerator through an artistic lens, using ARTIST Mark Johnston WORK Johnston has two pieces in the show: Crackle Crow and The Swimmer. WHO IS MARK JOHNSTON? Johnston, a native of Ottawa, has lived in Vancouver for the past 25 years. He spent most of his career as a software developer before being laid off seven years ago; for the past six years, he has made art his life. WHAT KIND OF WORK DOES HE DO? Johnston has always been a photographer, and he’s also long been interested in the tradition of paper-cut art, which is common in many Eastern European and Asian cultures. His work combines both of those art forms and merges them with his technology background, as he uses digital tools such as Photoshop, Inkscape and Illustrator to create designs and then laser-cut them

found glass materials and a projected self-portrait to explore the idea of how light helps us see things that would otherwise be invisible. The project allowed her to pursue her ongoing fascination with light and its existence as two things at the same time – “as a photon, it exists as a particle and a wave,” she explains. WHY LUMINESCENCE? Wadel is thrilled that her work will be featured in a show marking the spring equinox; its first incarnation was as an outdoor installation for the Still Moon Arts Society’s Renfrew Ravine Moon Festival in 2018, which marked the fall equinox. It’s a full-circle artistic journey that gives her joy – especially since mushrooms, so often associated with death and decay, are now part of a show heralding the coming of spring. “I’m really, really happy it gets to be part of a show that celebrates rebirth,” she says. See an interview withWadel at www.burnabynow.com/ entertainment. into other mediums. Each piece involves a painstaking and complex creation process; he estimates he put in at least 120 hours for design and tracing for his two Luminescence pieces. WHY USE LIGHT IN ART? Johnston, whose works in Luminescence IV both use LED lighting, says he’s fascinated by the way in which the play of light and shadow become part of a piece of art. “It actually adds another element to the piece,” he says. “It almost makes the piece alive.” WHY LUMINESCENCE? Johnston, who first exhibited in the show last year, says it’s become a highlight of the artistic year for him. “It’s beautiful; the work here is amazing,” he says. “Even if I wasn’t in it, I would be here to see it. There’s something about light that transforms work and makes it very special.” See an interview with Mark Johnston at www.burnabynow. com/entertainment.

The City of Burnaby is firing back at a municipal employee accusing it of discriminating against her because of her latex balloon, onion and garlic allergies Tracy Klewchuk, a 26year city employee who has worked at various recreation centres around Burnaby, has filed a complaint with the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal, saying the city repeatedly exposed her to latex, onions and garlic between 2008 and 2018, deprived her of work opportunities and then gave her a negative performance review in retaliation for her complaints of discrimination, according to tribunal documents. The city denies the allegations and recently applied for the tribunal to order Klewchuk to disclose the particulars of her com-

plaint, including the dates she told supervisors about her allergies, who the supervisors were and what details she provided. The city also wanted specifics around where and when Klewchuk was exposed to latex, onions and garlic at work and the details about job opportunities she was denied because of her allergies. Klewchuk requested copies of old Burnaby Leisure Guides between 2008 and 2013 to help her recall the details, but the city objected, saying she was “not entitled to require the (city) to provide her with documents for the purpose of enabling her to manufacture particulars of her entirely speculative allegations,” according to tribunal documents. Tribunal member Devyn Cousineau disagreed with the city, saying Klechuk was being asked for details going back 10 years and the lei-

sure guides would help her remember them. She told the city to provide the guides and ordered Klewchuk to disclose the details the city requested. “I accept that these details may be difficult for Ms. Klewchuk to provide,” Cousineau wrote in a Feb. 21 ruling. “However, she will not be able to substantiate this claim at a hearing without leading some evidence of when and where these incidents occurred.” In another ruling the same day, Cousineau also ordered the city to release unredacted copies of emails written about Klewchuk by her supervisors. The city said it had blacked-out portions of the emails because they fell under labour relations privilege and were written with the expectation of confidentiality. Continued on page 15

City now Burnaby businesses fall victim to so-called CEO scam Three Burnaby businesses are out thousands of dollars after employees fell victim to the so-called CEO scam. In the scam, fraudsters posing as managers, presidents and CEOs email employees of a company, instructing them to take money and buy gift cards, like iTunes cards or VISA gift cards. They then direct the employee to email them the pin numbers on the cards, allowing the fraudsters to use them immediately. Burnaby RCMP has already received five reports of the scam in 2019.

“This fraud has resulted in some businesses losing up to $5,000,” Cpl. Daniela Panesar stated in a press release. “Today we’re asking that business owners ensure their employees are aware of this scam and also know that it’s OK to ask questions of upper management if they think they’re being a victim of fraud.” TIPS: ! Beware of unsolicited calls or emails from people presenting an urgent situation requiring immediate attention ! Educate employees at every level to be wary of unsolicited calls and emails

! Take a careful look at the sender’s e-mail address. It may be very similar to the real one, with only one or

tablish a standard process that requires multiple approvals for financial transactions

! Make sure employees know how to verify a request for money before making a payment

City told to turn over emails Continued from page 14 But Cousineau rejected that argument. “I start with the observation that most people do not expect their emails will ever be disclosed outside the circle of intended recipients or subjected to scrutiny by decision makers,” she wrote. “This is, of course, particularly true in circumstances that are sensitive or contentious, or which turn out to be the subject of litigation. However, a general expectation, or even a hope, that emails will be confidential is not sufficient. A party claiming privilege must advance evidence or explanation for why the parties to an email had an expectation of confidentiality in the circumstances.”

GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

There was a time when the words “spring break” conjured up images of college kids in a drunken stupor, partying it up in Daytona Beach, flashing their boobs and jostling their junk in hopes of making a cameo on MTV’s live broadcast of the festivities. I was never one of those kids, but I can remember sitting in front of the TV with my eyes glued to the screen, fascinated by the spring break shenanigans and thinking that one day, when I was a grownup, I’d get to experience all the hedonistic happenings of spring celebrations in real life. Now that I’m a parent, those same two words carry a whole new meaning. Sure, spring break still involves crazy, carefree kids and shameless shenanigans, but when you’re the parent

of the party animals, it just doesn’t carry the same cachet. This week, children are celebrating their last days of school and teachers are excitedly sighing breaths of relief as they prepare for a two-week break from their classroom kids. Meanwhile, parents are scrambling in anticipation of what’s to come. Whether it’s trying to coordinate camps for kids, or preparing for weeks of entertainment at home, the two-week spring break has become a real struggle for parents who either can’t take the time off to take care of their kids or can’t afford to cover the added cost of child care during the break. Until 2010, the March break was only one week long in most of B.C.’s school districts, but thanks to financial restrictions, it was extended to two weeks, saving money for the affected school boards. Unfortunately, it seems as though those financial bur-

dens have been passed on to the parents instead. Some families find spring break to be the perfect time to travel, but with inflated costs and overcrowded hot spots, the timing just isn’t ideal for everyone. The two-week break also presents challenges for employers – especially those who are trying to run small

… those ﬁnancial burdens have been passed on to parents

businesses, with many of their staff attempting to take the same two weeks off work to accommodate the time off school. Instead of the lengthy school breaks, we should consider adopting a yearround school calendar, making it easier for parents to balance calendars, and

children to keep on track with their school work. Other countries in the world have seen overwhelmingly positive results with a year-round school calendar – including higher test scores and an increased retention rate of learned information. Many parents, teachers and students who have tried this revised system right here in B.C. have shared positive feedback after experiencing the transition to a more balanced school year – saying they love the model and feel it has been of great benefit to the learning environment of their children. After the Christmas holidays and long stretch of dark winter months, a break in March is definitely welcome, but when it comes to spring break as it is today, two weeks is too long.

Businessnow Board of trade lends a hand to Burnaby entrepreneurs Paul Holden

BURNABY BOARD OF TRADE

The Burnaby Board of Trade has participated in a handful of educational sessions recently for entrepreneurs interested in starting new businesses. Through meeting those prospective business owners, I was reminded of the importance of the entrepreneur to our economy. The numbers are staggering when you consider how many small businesses we have in B.C. According to the 2018 Small Business Profile from the provincial government, there are 501,300 businesses in B.C., and fully 98 per cent of those classify as a “small business” with fewer than 50 employees. Digging deeper, you will see 83 per cent of B.C. businesses have five or fewer employees, and 60 per cent of all businesses in B.C. are self-employed entrepreneurs.

B.C. has long been a hotbed of entrepreneurship and regularly leads the country in small business creation.The growth rate of the number of small businesses is double that of the national average, and B.C. has over 102 small businesses for every 1,000 people – the second highest in all of Canada. All of those small businesses contribute 35 per cent of our provincial GDP and create 1.1 million jobs. It’s easy to see why the success of small businesses looms so large for our economy. When talking to entrepreneurs, what I often end up sensing (beyond their energy and passion for business) is a frustration with how cumbersome the process of starting a business can sometimes be. Entrepreneurs are by definition action-oriented, so trying to navigate rules and norms can really hold them back.Tasks like filling out government paperwork, finding market research, or trying to understand reg-

ulations, while important, can end up sidetracking entrepreneurs as they spend more time on that than on developing their companies and adding to that economic contribution of small business. This was the driver behind the Burnaby Board of Trade developing the Burnaby Business Resource Guidebook, a one-stop guide that curates information on getting a new business up and running.This guidebook, available for free at www.bbot.ca/guide, provides tips, walk-throughs and templates for every stage of a business, from researching ideas, to registering with governments, to hiring that first employee. I hope the Burnaby Business Resource Guidebook helps make that path to success a little bit easier for Burnaby entrepreneurs – which, given the stats and figures above, would be a win for all of us. Paul Holden is CEO of the Burnaby Board of Trade.

I see that a new $10 bill has been released in Canada. Who is the lady on the bill? My husband says it is the Queen but I disagree. Why is the design vertical?

First off you can inform your husband that he is wrong and you are right. This new $10 bill JIM RICHARDSON features Viola Desmond who was successful Black Nova Scotian businesswoman. Viola Desmond defiantly refused to leave a whites-only area of a movie theatre in 1946 and was subsequently jailed, convicted and fined. Her court case is one of the first known legal challenges against racial segregation brought forth by a Black woman in Canada. This protest was prior the the Rosa Parks protest of 1955. The back of the bill features the Canadian Museum of Human Rights, an Eagle feather representing Indigenous People and an excerpt from the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The vertical design is the way which many countries in the world are going to. Switzerland and Israel banknotes have been vertical for around 20 years. More recently are Bermuda, Venezuela, Northern Ireland and East Caribbean States.

INSPECT CANADA A new breed of home inspectors: Introducing Free Pre-Listing Inspections. The home inspection was originally developed to protect the buyer, giving them a clear picture about the property’s condition. In this way, they can make a more informed decision about what is often their life’s single largest personal investment. Since the buyer would often use the inspection report as a renegotiation tool, the home inspector has often been seen as a potential complication from the listing agent’s perspective. Even though much of our business consists of inspections for buyers, we specialize in inspections for the sellers, which are done at the beginning of the transaction … and it doesn’t have to cost the homeowner anything. We’ve changed the home inspection for homeowners from a liability into an asset. Now they can use the home inspection to sell their house faster, easier, and often for more money using the pre-listing inspection report. We have created a marketing platform that allows sellers to have the home inspection report available for prospective buyers. These are available to download for free, & include yard signs that promotes the fact that the house is pre-inspected and the report available on PreInspected.com. Since everything is discovered up front, the ﬁrst accepted offer will move smoothly to closing instead of introducing delays, stress, renegotiations which can risk the sale. Pre-listing inspections are designed to facilitate the sale of the house and creates a positive experience for all sides. It sets the listing apart and often fetches more offers. It is important to note that a seller inspection does not protect the buyer. It is to be used only as a guide and we recommend buyers to get their own home inspection. We do however offer protection to the buyer by offering an on-site review for half the price. If you are planning on selling your house, get it preinspected and avoid surprises. Inspect Canada is the only inspection ﬁrm that specializes in pre-listing inspections. Ask us how you can have it done for free.

ASK A HOME INSPECTOR

Q A

How can investing in a pre-listing inspection save you money?

Originally the home inspection was developed to protect the buyer and remove liability from the agents. Unfortunately for sellers, the inspection report has David Asselin turned into a renegotiation tool for the Inspector buyer to take charge of the negotiations. Having your house pre-inspected, prior to listing, allows you to fix a few items that could make the sale of the house difficult. Often items that might have cost only a few hundred dollars to fix are renegotiated into price reductions totalling thousands of dollars. Having your house pre-inspected makes it possible for you to get competitive contractor quotes to make the repairs. You may even be able to do some of the repairs yourself saving you even more money. When you consider selling your home, get it pre-inspected and save money. Inspect Canada is the only home inspection firm that specializes in pre-listing inspections.

ASK A REGISTERED PSYCHOLOGIST

Q A

Are 30% children in K and grade 1 really at risk of reading disability?

Yes, but early screening and evidence-based systematic instruction can change that to less than 2%. Phonological awareness or the awareness of sounds in language is MAUREEN MACKINNON- the best predictor of learning to read words, MCQUARRIE, PH.D. spell and comprehend text (research from the National Reading Panel). Difﬁculty rhyming or learning the sounds that go with letters in kindergarten is a sign that your child may have trouble learning to read. By mid-grade 1 or 2, kids who do not notice beginning and ending sounds, cannot segment words (c-a-t), move sounds (take the n sound out of snail = sail), or blend (b-all = ball), are at risk. By grade 3, the signs are obvious - not able to read words or very slow word reading. Parents can teach kids as young as 4 to notice the units of sounds, to segment words by clapping sounds (i.e. cup-cake), and rhyming words with Dr. Suess.

Burnaby’s tallest building ‘topped off’ as Brentwood megaproject grows Chris Campbell

ccampbell@burnabynow.com

Steven Cirotto stood at the microphone Friday and talked about growing up in the Heights. The operations manager for the construction company Axiom said he still remembers how special Christmas was as a child at Brentwood Town Centre. Today, he still lives in North Burnaby and is able to look out his home’s window and see what he’s helping build as part of the Amazing Brentwood megaproject that is transforming the area. “This is really special,” he told a crowd of staff from Axiom – which is building the residential towers – and

SHAPE – the developers behind the entire project – who were attending a special “topping off” ceremony to mark the final concrete pour. At a dizzying 614 feet, Tower Two is the tallest building in Burnaby (Tower One is the same height and is nearing completion). They are part of 11 residential buildings that will eventually be built on the site. Together, the two towers will add 1,154 homes to the city of Burnaby.Tower One includes 300 purpose-built rental homes with additional rental inventory to come in future phases. When complete,The Amazing Brentwood will bring more than 6,000 homes to the communi-

ty.There will be new shops, restaurants, office space and a one-acre civic plaza to host events and celebrations. Cineplex is also planning a VIP theatre.The first phase of development, including the first two towers,

It’s a gamechanger for urban development

will open later in 2019. The NOW was at the ceremony and some of the staff have been involved in the project since it was first conceived way back in 2009. “It’s a game-changer for urban development,” said

Darren Kwiatkowski, executive vice president, development and acquisitions at SHAPE. A full team of specialists was engaged to execute this project alongside SHAPE. This team includes James Cheng, the world-renowned architect who collaborated with SHAPE on the master plan design, and Axiom, the construction manager for the residential towers.

Artsnow Burnaby percussionist featured at Sonic Boom Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

Perhaps it was fate that made Julia Chien late for band class that first day. Or perhaps it was just pure dumb luck. Whatever it was, the stars were obviously aligning for Chien when she didn’t end up getting her first instrument of choice – that would be saxophone – back in Grade 7 at Marlborough Elementary School. “I went to class late that day, and everyone wanted to play saxophone,” she recalls with a laugh. “The teacher said, ‘Well, nobody is playing drums.’” So drums it was. And the now-26-year-old Chien wouldn’t have it any other way. The Burnaby resident is a featured performer in the 32nd edition of Vancouver ProMusica’s Sonic Boom Music Festival, coming March 21 to 24. She’s onehalf of the festival’s artist-inresidence percussion duo, alongside her friend Aaron Graham, and also plays with

When: Thursday, March 21 to Sunday, March 24, with evening concerts at 7:30 p.m. nightly and a student composers master class on March 24 at 10 a.m.

Who: Featuring percussionists Julia Chien and Aaron Graham and the Turning Point Ensemble, plus com-

the ensemble-in-residence, the Turning Point Ensemble. Chien and Graham will be featured in a program of new works premiering at the festival on March 23. For Chien, bringing new work to life is always a challenge, especially for percussionists. Although, she notes, percussion has been around in some form since cave man times – “it’s very primitive, in a way” – what composers are now choosing to do with percussion is evolving rapidly, and far past just banging on a drum. “It challenges me person-

ally, creatively, to find ways to make it work,” she says, noting one of the advantages of Sonic Boom is that the performers have a chance to work with the composers to workshop ways to create the desired sounds. Chien comes to the stage armed with the standard arsenal of orchestral percussion instruments: timpani, snare, xylophone, vibraphone, glockenspiel, marimba, cymbals, bass drum, tom toms. Much of the work she does with Sonic Boom is what she characterizes as “finding new ways to play

old instruments.” That’s one of the challenges she loves about contemporary music, she says – that, and the fact that she doesn’t have to stare at bar after bar of rest in her score the way she does when she’s playing, say, Beethoven. “I love new music because it challenges me creatively, to be continuously playing,” she says. One of the Sonic Boom highlights, for Chien, has been working with composer-in-residence Rodney Sharman on his new piece for glockenspiel and vibraphone, with spoken voice, Everything Is Vanishing. “That piece really explores the different colours of both instruments, the harmonies and everything,” she said, noting it looks deceptively simple on the page but is full of nuance. “It’s a very challenging piece.The attention to detail for that is really something.” While Chien enjoys the challenge of performing contemporary works, she also remains a fan of classical orchestral music.

Among her career highlights so far, Chien lists the chance to play timpani with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, under the baton of Bramwell Tovey – a performance she calls “terrifying and awesome.” She also enjoyed a tour to Asia with Turning Point last summer, which gave her a chance to perform in Singapore, Beijing and Taipei. Travelling to Taipei had special meaning for Chien, who was born in Taiwan and lived there until she moved to Canada at age four. Returning as an adult, then having a chance to collaborate with musicians from a Chinese orchestra and learn Chinese orchestral percussion, was a particularly memorable experience.

and freelance gigs both in the Lower Mainland and farther afield. In 2017, she held the principal percussionist position with the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra, which meant a lot of time on airplanes. Now she’s the timpanist with the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra, which means plenty

of hours back and forth on the Coquihalla. This spring, she also has the chance to be part of the Emerge on Main: Spotlight on Rising Musicians series, which will see her take to the stage on April 23 at the Fox Cabaret. Being a professional percussionist isn’t always the

easiest life, she admits, but she says there are always jobs out there – as long as she’s willing to travel and keep an open mind. “It’d be cool to do a little bit of everything. I’m not 100 per cent set on a specific thing,” she says. “I like that it keeps your options open.”

The 5G Dilemma

We all knew that at some point the white-hot real estate market would slow, even decline. The latest data suggests the Metro Vancouver housing market will be mired in difficulties this year and perhaps even next. But there are clear strategies to not only survive the slump but benefit from it. Our expert panel will guide you on where the opportunities are, where they aren’t, and how your investment plan can make the most of the challenging times.

In the next year Canada will introduce 5G, the next generation of cellular mobile communications to vastly improve data usage, save energy, reduce costs, and enable businesses and consumers massive connectivity. But the country is embroiled in a debate on who should provide the technology, what national security considerations are necessary, and how Canada can ensure it does not lose pace with the rest of the world. Our panel discussion investigates the issues.

Big bounce-back nets Rebels B.C. bronze Dan Olson

FULL COURT PRESS: The Burnaby South Rebels ran the gamut of emotions with big plays by seniors like Baltej Sohal, at top, pressure situations for coach Mike Bell, bottom left, and an injury to post Sasha Vujisic, bottom right. PHOTO AT TOP AND BOTTOM RIGHT, MARIO BARTEL/TRICITY NEWS; BOTTOM LEFT, CORNELIA NAYLOR

It wasn’t the final game they hoped to play in, but it was the performance they planned to give. The Burnaby South Rebels capped a very strong season by finishing third at the B.C. 4-A senior boys basketball championships, stopping the No. 3-ranked Terry Fox Ravens 86-71 on Saturday at the Langley Events Centre. Resignation and disappointment were filed away following the previous day’s 75-64 semifinal loss to Lord Tweedsmuir, and replaced with pride and dedication, all under a one-for-all meme. “This was not the game we wanted to be in, but it’s all we talked about in the locker room after our semifinal loss,” said Grade 12 guard Jiordano Khan. “It’s life, and we just have to learn to bounce back. I feel we really did that today and I’m happy we came out with the win.” In a program where they’ve been a constant among the circuit’s top-10 rankings the past four years, being a Final Four isn’t a collapse.When you consider the competition and the missed presence of standout post Sasha Vujisic, the end result is the sum of all the parts. As with any provincial tournament, the gauntlet proved both grueling and grand. Four games where the true character of a team rises to the surface. Friday’s loss to Lord Tweedsmuir – a 75-64 setback – could have buried another team. However, despite still without a provincial six-foot-10 all-star in the lineup, the Rebels reflected and put forth a winning effort. Coming out of the gate slowly, the defending B.C. champions got into the spirit of it beginning in the second quarter, erasing a five-point deficit after trailing for the opening 15 minutes. Khan nailed his first free throw, followed quickly by a putback from Grade 9 call-up Karan Aujla, to give the Rebels a 31-28 lead. Having trailed by four after one quar-

ter and led by seven – 41-33 – at halftime, momentum was now on their side. Burnaby didn’t ease up and carved out a comfortable edge to start the fourth, thanks 10 points from senior Kyle Kirmaci. “This is probably one of the harder games of the year to play,” noted Rebels head coach Mike Bell. “You lose an emotional game and bounce back, but the seniors really wanted to make a point and go out with a win, and they did it.” Grade 12 post Aidan Wilson topped the team with 21 points, including a handful of rim benders, five rebounds and three blocks, while Aujla cashed in 14 points and contributed five boards. Sunga was voted onto the tourney’s first all-star team, while Baltej Sohal was selected to the second all-star team. Sunga, a Grade 10 who drove a lot of the team’s offence, is part of a small but mighty returning group for next year, including six-foot-10 Vujisic and Matthew Pineda. Aujla, who was a major part of the junior champions’ run, will likely add to his six-foot-five frame. “Our future is bright.We have a lot of talented kids coming up in the program, from Grade 8 all the way up.There’s a lot of talent here, and we’re not going to go anywhere,” said Bell. “(Aujla) went in there and he was awesome, how he contributed.” The program expects to be in the mix for a provincial medal for the foreseeable future, thanks to the contributions of the graduating leaders, noted the coach. “These guys had a tremendous career. These guys really set the bar for our program. Coming in every final, from Grade 8 to Grade 11, and missing one final and still coming in at third.There are not too many kids in the province that can say that in their high school career.” Moving on upon graduation are: Gabe Canatoy, Johann Chua, Louis Hsaio, Jiordano Khan, Kyle Kirmaci, Jasper Liao, Brandon Obuyes, Hanz Paloma, Baltej Sohal, Aidan Wilson and Richie Xiao.

Steelers’ playoff run gets bitten by Wolf Pack

Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

In most David and Goliath analogies, the giant bites the dirt in a big way. It doesn’t always work out in the real world, however. The Grandview Steelers gave it a mighty try, but the North Van Wolf Pack demonstrated why they were the top dog entering the Pacific Junior B Hockey League playoffs. The Pack slipped past Grandview 1-0 on Saturday, ending their best-of-seven series four games to one.

But the Steelers made them work for it. “I’m extremely proud of how the guys worked and played (against North Van),” remarked Grandview coach Stevan Matic. “We were a little unfortunate because both Games 3 and 5 could of gone either way, and we felt we deserved a better fate.” The squad generated enough offensive chances in both games to come out ahead, he said, but were either foiled by the Wolf Pack netminder, or just missed burying the puck. “The guys dug in and did what they had to do, we just couldn’t

get that key goal when we needed.” After staving off elimination last Thursday with an impressive 4-1 victory in North Van, the underdog Steelers had a successful blueprint in which to model their next must-win effort. Putting it into operation, they benefited from stellar netminding from Cale Dolan, the 19-yearold backstop who turned aside 45 shots. Unfortunately, the Steelers were hamstrung by Wolf Pack goalie Niklas Hoeme, who kicked out 28 shots for the shutout and clinch the series.

In the Steelers’ win, Mateo Coltellaro cashed in a pair, with sin-

gles by JarodYau and Tomislav Zlomislic.

Bulldogs place 10th

Byrne grads exit after another B.C. tourney Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

On the final day of the provincial championships, when energy is waning, aches and pains are barking and emotions are strained, good and great efforts can be divided by the thinnest of margins. The Byrne Creek Bulldogs gave a very good effort for most of Saturday’s ninth/10th place battle of the B.C. 3-A senior boys basketball tournament, but were unable to overcome a determined G.P.Vanier squad in a 74-65 loss at the Langley Events Centre. In a crunch-time of games that saw the Bulldogs knocked from the championship bracket on Day 1 in a 74-48 loss to eventual 2019 B.C. winner North Delta, the Burnaby squad did a terrific job of refocusing and re-purposing to keep the dream alive.They defeated both Mark Isfeld and Steveston-London to get to the ninth-place game. But the final win proved elusive. Although they only held the lead for 5:32, beginning when Grade 10 guard Mukhtar Afadish sank his first three-pointer with just 16 seconds left in the first quarter, Byrne

Creek showed character and grit in turning an 18-point deficit into a single-digit hole on two separate occasions. Grade 12 guard Bithow Wan put up a game-high 24 points, half of it in the fourth quarter, while fellow graduating guard Sufi Ahmed netted 11 points. Some rough patches in their final game couldn’t mar an overall great experience, noted Wan. “We came out slow and sloppy. The second half we picked it up but it was kind of late. … I just knew it was my last game, Sufi’s last game and all the seniors. I just wanted to go out and have fun and play ball,” said Wan. “I could have asked for a better ending, but it means a lot. … Just hanging with my brothers, being with the team.That’s a highlight in its self.” The Bulldogs will turn over a large part of their lineup, a roster that finished second at last year’s B.C.s. Graduating are: Sami Agosom, Sufi Ahmed, Gabriel Bondoc, Dino Demirovic, Haj Dzebic, Daniel Moges, Alisina Moradi, Chidubem Nkoloagu and Bithow Wan.

Heading to the finish line: Burnaby Lake’s trail was busy when the MEC Greater Vancouver Road Race No. 2 came to town two weeks ago. Lydia Tay crossed the 21-kilometre course first for female runners, while William Krohn was first among the male runners. In the 10.5km race, Tina Connelly recorded the top time among females, while Matthew Dordon placed first in the male division. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER

HOME SALES*

Non-residents own 4.9% of Metro Vancouver homes: CMHC While there is a common perception that overseas buyers have snapped up much of Metro Vancouver real estate, the number of homes owned purely by non-residents across the region is 4.9 per cent, according to a study of Statistics Canada data by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), published March 12. Including homes that are jointly owned by a mix of residents of Canada and non-residents – such as a satellite family where one spouse is resident in Canada, or a local student who jointly owns a home with their overseas parents – adds another 2.9 per cent. This brings the total proportion of Metro Vancouver homes with some “non-resident participation” to 7.6 per cent, said CMHC. However, the proportion of non-resident ownership varies dramatically when broken out by property type and by year of construction. Just 3.2 per cent of Metro Vancouver’s single-family homes were owned entirely by foreign nationals, while an additional 2.5 per cent of detached houses were jointly owned by a mix of residents and nonresidents. This compares with condos, where 8.3 per cent were found to be owned entirely by overseas residents, and a further 2.9 per cent by a mix of Canadian residents and non-residents. This brings the total share of Metro Vancouver condos with some “non-resident participation” to 11.2 per cent. The share of the region’s condos owned purely by overseas residents was found to increase dramatically among newer units, rising to a peak of 15.6 per cent in condos built in the frenzied 2016/2017 market. An

additional 3.6 per cent of those 2016/17-constructed condos are jointly owned by a mix of Canadians and overseas nationals.

Home value differences

TOP SALE PRICE***

CMHC found that the median value of homes owned by non-residents in Metro Vancouver and across B.C. was higher than the median value of homes owned by Canadian residents. The largest assessed value difference between non-resident and resident-owned detached houses is $1,580,000 (31.2 per cent) in the Metro Vancouver Electoral Area A, which includes UBC and the University Endowment Lands. Vancouver proper saw the second highest value difference, with the median non-resident-owned detached house valued at $1.1 million more than those owned by Canadian residents (22.3 per cent higher). The non-resident-owned median assessment value of a singledetached house in British Columbia was $236,000, or 36.7 per cent, higher than the median-valued resident-owned property in B.C. Aled ab Iorwerth, deputy chief economist at CMHC, said, “The data allows us to better understand the role of non-residents as a component of demand in Canadian housing markets, a topic that is of public interest in terms of the source of funds and the investment behaviour associated with such properties.”

ANVARALI RAHEMTULLA, JUSTIN EBERLE and XIAO AI

La BERGE, Anne Louise July 18, 1937 - February 14, 2019 On Valentine’s Day, Anne La Berge passed away, peacefully, at Elim Village, Surrey. She is survived by her son Steven (Lisa), daughter Barbara (Ken), and grandchildren Korina and Devon. Anne will be fondly remembered for her strength of spirit, kindness to others, bountiful curiosity, and an insatiable reading appetite. At her request, no formal service was held. Anne’s cremated remains were laid to rest in the Scattering Garden, at Sunnyside Lawn Cemetery, in Surrey, on March 9th, by immediate family members. A bronze plaque will be added to the Scattering Garden’s pillow within the next several weeks, to aid those who would like to find her final resting place and pay their respects. Condolences can be sent to the family at walkeyfuneralhome@outlook.com Walkey & Company Funeral Directors 604 738-0006
