Former mayor waived $20K in rec fees Data obtained by the NOW shows more than $230K in fees waived in five years for politicians andVIPs Kelvin Gawley

The City of Burnaby waived more than $230,000 in fees over the last five years to allow local officials to golf, swim and skate for free. From 2014 to 2018, 65 different people made use of the city’s complimentary

pass program, which allows council, parks commission and school board members, among others, to use local recreation facilities for free. Most of the fee waivers were granted at Burnaby’s two municipally owned golf courses, Riverway and Burnaby Mountain. Former parks commissioner Jim Kozak topped

the list, charging $31,537 to the city over five years, followed by another former commissioner,Wayne Peppard, who had $23,385 waived. Former Mayor Derek Corrigan made the most use of the program of any elected official. He racked up a $20,361 bill over the same period.

Four other local politicians charged more than $5,000 between 2014 and 2018: Coun. Colleen Jordan ($16,112), Coun. James Wang ($12,715), Coun. Paul McDonell ($8,563) and trustee Gary Wong ($7,137). Many of those top users will soon have to reach into their own pockets to cover

their fees, as council voted to slash the program. Starting in 2020, school and library board members will be cut off, as will former councillors, mayors and parks commissioners. Current councillors, the mayor and parks commissioners will be limited to $1,500 in waivers per year. The majority of the pro-

Both McDonell and Jordan said they were worried the cuts were unfair to library board and parks commission members, who are olunteers.

Citynow LABOUR

Woman hired as a ‘cannabis connoisseur’ Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Imagine putting this scenario to the average Canadian cannabis user a couple years ago:You could get paid $50 per hour to smoke pot and share your thoughts about it. A wistful glaze would have probably come over their eyes as they took another toke: “One day…” Flash forward to 2019: cannabis has been legal for six months, the once-illicit drug is now a booming industry and that “one day” is here – at least for eight “cannabis connoisseurs.” Had the idea been presented to Burnaby’s Cheney Creamer a short few years ago, she said would have responded, “That’s a dream job, but it seems impossible.” Creamer was recently chosen to sit on a cannabis curation committee for A Higher Level of Thought (AHLOT) – a company that describes itself as a “transmodern brand … taking the best of everything that has come before while embrac-

“By bringing together the most provocative and evolved aspects of everything from cannabis strains to storage to cultural content, we’re helping to host this intertwining party we

call our lives,” the company’s “philosophy” webpage says. Creamer told the NOW she’s still wrapping her head around her new role. “It still feels a little bit

surreal, even today,” she said. But landing the gig wasn’t easy. She went through six months of interviews, applications and tests, she said. Ultimately, she said, it

was her expertise in wellness consulting and horticulture therapy that landed her the job. Creamer has been leading mindful meditation courses for years through her company One Green Square. Since legalization of recreational cannabis on Oct. 27, 2018, she has been able to integrate cannabis into her sessions. The plant can help “physically and mentally connect people with nature for healing,” she said. Creamer said her approach to cannabis helps people get more out of its use. Rather than simply hitting the bong and watching cartoons, cannabis can be a tool for people to learn about themselves and the world around them, she said. As a member of AHLOT’s eight-person committee, Creamer will work to choose cannabis strains for its sample pack series. The job pays $50 per hour, to a maximum of $1,000 a month.

COURT

Burnaby man convicted of harassing RCMP officer Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A 21-year-old Burnaby man who criminally harassed a Squamish RCMP sergeant and his wife and lied in sworn statements filed in court has been sentenced to nine months in jail and three years of probation. ‘INCREDIBLE CONSUMPTION OF PUBLIC RESOURCES’ The whole thing started four years ago, when thenteenager Jeevan Singh Gill was ticketed on Highway 99 near Squamish for having too many passengers for his class 7 licence and not displaying his “N.” He was also charged with having open liquor in the vehicle. Over the next four years Gill’s actions would result in “an incredible consumption of public resources,” according to a ruling last week by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Heather MacNaughton. Gill was acquitted of the open-liquor charge in Feb-

ruary 2016 but convicted on the two motor vehicle charges – netting two $20 fines and a six-month driving prohibition. He appealed that ruling, however, eventually filing two appeals to the B.C. Supreme Court and two to the B.C. Court of Appeal. Three sworn statements he filed during those proceedings were found to be false, and two videos he produced as evidence were ruled fakes. “I am of the view Mr. Gill is a person to whom the truth is a stranger,” stated a judge in an earlier ruling. CRIMINAL HARASSMENT Gill also harassed two Squamish RCMP members with repeated phone calls to them and their families, according to court documents. The first officer in his sights was one of the Mounties who had ticketed him as a teen. Gill was warned twice in 2017 to stop harassing her and members of her family with repeated phone calls – harassment that eventu-

ally drove her to leave the detachment, according to court documents. Gill also took aim at the sergeant in charge of his case. Neither officer can be named because of a publication ban. By last June, the sergeant had already been removed from Gill’s file because of safety concerns, according to court documents, but then, on June 27, the officer got 33 phone calls from six different numbers between 3:23 a.m. and 4:49 a.m. He also got a series of threatening text messages, saying things like “we are getting you bitch” and “you think you can f*** with anybody and get away, you ain’t getting away from us.” The sergeant’s wife also got three missed calls from one of the numbers at 3:30 a.m. that day and an ominous voicemail message at work later from a male caller, saying things like, “He’s a bad guy and he f***ed with us and now we want to plan to do something on him … unless he stops … unless he stops.”

The six numbers used for the calls and texts were found to have been sent through Voice Over Internet Protocol (“VOIP”) providers to mask the caller’s phone number and device.

Mr. Gill is a person to whom the truth is a stranger.

An investigation revealed the internet address used to connect to the VOIP providers was a Shaw customer account for Lakmir Gill – Gill’s father.The account was registered to Gill’s home address. ‘HE DOUBLED-DOWN’ The RCMP seized Gill’s cellphone after his arrest. A search of the device revealed a list of telephone numbers, address numbers, license plates, one of the sergeant’s telephone numbers, a telephone number for the sergeant’s wife, a

current mailing address for them and a former physical address for them. Gill maintains he didn’t make the harassing phone calls or send the texts himself but said he paid others to do it. He pleaded guilty to criminally harassing the sergeant and to two counts of obstructing justice for filing the false affidavits. In delivering her sentence last week, MacNaughton noted Gill had no criminal record but had been given a 12-month conditional discharge for an earlier false affidavit. “Rather than learn from it, he doubled-down by filing two further false affidavits, leading to the charges to which he has now pleaded guilty,” MacNaughton said. She went on to say Gill’s dishonesty “strikes at the heart of the judicial process.” “The integrity of the justice system depends on its processes being respected and the veracity of affidavit materials which are filed,” she said.

CONDITIONS OF PROBATION Under the terms of his probation, Gill will be banned from contacting the two officers and their families and any other member of the Squamish RCMP; going within 100 metres of any residence, school or workplace of the two officers and their families or any other member of the Squamish RCMP; and going within 10 kilometres of Squamish except to drive through on Highway 99. He’ll also have to provide his probation officer with internet carrier information and phone numbers connected to his mobile device or tablet; as well as the make, model, colour and licence plate of his vehicle. He’ll also have to hand over his devices for inspection by his probation officer on demand, and he won’t be allowed to download any application or software that could disguise or change his phone number or IP address.

Citynow HOUSING

Feedback on mayor’s task force released Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Burnaby’s renters and young people are the groups most worried about housing affordability, a new report from the city’s housing task force shows. TheWhatWe Heard report summarizes findings from the information-gathering phase of the Mayor’s Task Force on Community Housing, also referred to asYourVoice.Your Home: Meeting the Housing Needs of Burnaby Residents. There have been 2,380 engagements with residents so far, including 1,450 survey responses, a 100-person workshop, 400 people reached by students canvassing the city and conversations with “key community stakeholders.” “I’m thrilled with the number of people who have shared their thoughts and ideas so far,” Mayor Mike Hurley said in a statement. “Housing is such an important issue for people and af-

ety of responses to the process, but some key themes emerged. Residents said they were worried about the availability of rental housing, a lack of variety in housing size, speculation, the gap be-

tween incomes and housing costs and a loss of quality of life. Many respondents expressed a fear of displacement via demovictions or renovictions.

“Too many demovictions – too much development that removes low-cost housing,” an unnamed respondent is quoted as saying. “The amount of homeless people therefore has increased – most of these are seniors – it is a very sad situation.” The survey results showed a strong correlation between household income and housing tenure. Seventy-nine per cent of residents with an annual household income below $20,000 and 57 per cent of those making between $20,000 and $34,999 identified themselves as renters, while 80 per cent of individuals with a household income exceeding $100,000 owned their homes. Renters, who accounted for 33 per cent of survey respondents, were much more likely to be worried about their housing security. Most renters (64 per cent) said they felt they may need to move within the next 10 years due to housing affordability. Only 14 per cent of

homeowners said the same. Co-op housing is by far the most affordable type of tenure in the city, according to survey respondents. A whopping 86 per cent of coop residents find it affordable, compared to 65 per cent of homeowners and 52 per cent of renters. But only three per cent of respondents said they live in a co-op. The task force also asked residents what they want to see done about the city’s housing issues. Many Burnaby residents want to see greater government oversight and regulation, as well as “greater responsibility” from developers. “Food, shelter and health care are human rights,” one respondent said. “(The) City of Burnaby needs to take every step necessary to get them out of the free market and provide roofs for low-income families.” Others called for more density in single-family neighbourhoods and allowing laneway homes.

Citynow CHILD CARE

Burnaby getting 124 new spaces Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Burnaby should have three new child-care centres with a total of 124 new licensed spaces by January 2020, thanks in part to $2.25 million from the provincial government. The City of Burnaby is getting $2 million to help build two of the centres with the school district at Capitol Hill and Montecito elementary schools. The new centres, to be run by local non-profit organizations, will create 50 new spaces for children aged three years to kindergarten age. They should be ready to go by January 2020, according to an announcement Tuesday. Another new centre is being opened by Organic Early Learning at the corner of Sixth Street and Graham Avenue as early as this summer. Organic Early Learning is getting $250,000 to open the facility, which will fea-

ture 24 spaces for infants and toddlers and 50 spaces for school-aged children. “Organic Early Learning was founded by a group of parents and educators who came together based on a common passion for wholesome child care.We are absolutely delighted at the thought of connecting children, families and commu-

nities on the path to a bright future,” co-founder Calvin Tse said in a press release. “We are very grateful for the support from the Province of B.C.” The new Organic Early Learning centre aims to connect children to nature through its early childhood education curriculum, according a news release.

The centre will also offer a buddy system to help connect families new to Canada to their community. Hot meals will be included in the cost of care, and takehome meals will be available to vulnerable families. “Burnaby is one of the fastest-growing communities in B.C.,” said Burnaby-Lougheed MLA Katrina Chen, minister of state for child care, “and these three new centres will help parents who have been struggling to find quality child care to rejoin the workforce or go back to school, knowing that their children are being well cared for in quality programs.” Money for the new centres is coming from the province’s Childcare BC New Spaces Fund. Child-care providers can apply to receive grants from the fund at any time throughout the year under a new continuous application process. For more information, visit www.gov.bc.ca/child care.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Don’t like high gas prices? Then try not driving A fresh wave of outrage has swept over Metro Vancouver in the past week as gas prices at local pumps hit another high. Some stations were charging as much as $1.69.9 per litre, and people were setting their hair on fire about it. We’ve been reading the comments on Facebook and Twitter (dangerous, we know) and, sadly, few people have mentioned a novel idea for combatting the

high prices – don’t drive. Yes, we know, it’s radical, but maybe leave your car or truck at home. Instead, hop on a bicycle. Take transit.Walk. We’re not necessarily saying you should never drive. Some people need their vehicles for work or have physical issues that make walking or biking or even getting to transit difficult. We know there are always plenty of excuses for people wanting to drive.We also

make them, but often it’s simply a matter of laziness or entitlement. What we are saying is find the nerve to cut back on your driving as much as possible. Metro Vancouver has a pretty good transit system, with plenty of options. It’s far from perfect, but it works well. We’re asking people to question if you need to run that solo errand or drive to a certain grocery store for

a certain item, if you have a store that is within walking distance. But this is what things like the TransLink and carbon taxes are designed to do – although we must make clear, they are not the main reason why gas prices have spiked lately – push people to cut back on their driving and fund transit services. It not only saves you money, but it helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions

that are destroying the planet.We all need to make a radical shift to stop driving. That’s why government is putting more money into things like transit and bike lanes. Improving infrastructure makes leaving the car at home that much easier. Young people get it. Many teens have no interest in getting their driver’s licence because, for them, transit and walking or biking is the best way to live

over the expense of owning a vehicle.Their generation is also more aware of climate change because they’ve grown up with it. Here at the NOW, the youngest reporters in our office leave their cars at work for essential assignments and bike or use transit for the rest of their lives. Their behaviour and high gas prices should inspire all of us to change our habits. Sure, it takes more effort, but it’s worth it in the end.

MY VIEW CHRIS CAMPBELL

Moving is no fun. Neither is dumping

A Burnaby city councillor put a smile on my face this week when he spoke out about illegal dumping – calling out people who are moving. I actually teared up, it was so beautiful. MetroVancouver said that its PutWaste in Its Place campaign is back for a third year, “reminding residents to do the right thing by disposing of their unwanted items responsibly instead of illegally dumping them in alleys, parks and on the curbside.” Amen to that. “Residents are more likely to improperly dispose of items at the end of the month or on moving days,” said Burnaby Coun. Sav Dhaliwal, who is also the chair of MetroVancouver. “With a little foresight, residents can easily rid themselves of unwanted items, without degrading someone’s neighbourhood and breaking the law.” That is true. I see a lot of dumped items at the end of the month as lazy people get ready to move out.Yes, I know moving is tough and a pain to even get people to help out, but that’s no excuse for illegal dumping. Local municipalities spend more than $5 million annually to clean up illegal dumping and are taking tougher measures against those caught in the act. “We are all taught from a young age not to litter,” said Jack Froese, chair of MetroVancouver’s ZeroWaste Committee. “We know it’s wrong, and with so many cost-effective – even free – ways to properly dispose of waste, it’s perplexing that some people still choose to

dump their unwanted items on the side of the road, in our parks, and alleyways.” In 2018, MetroVancouver municipalities recorded over 40,000 incidents of abandoned waste – 40,000! According to MetroVancouver, mattresses, furniture, appliances, electronics and green waste continue to be the most commonly dumped items, and the majority of incidents were attributed to home renovations, students and moveouts. “There is simply no need to abandon waste,” Froese said. “In addition to free municipal collection services, many delivery companies will take away old mattresses or appliances for a small fee, which is much cheaper than receiving a fine for illegally dumping. Disposing of unwanted items correctly is cheaper in the long run and prevents waste from becoming eyesores in our neighbourhoods.” A number of local municipalities offer spring cleanups or annual garage sales, while others will collect up to six large items per household annually, free of charge. Many municipalities will also allow residents to schedule a pickup that coincides with regularly scheduled garbage or on a specified date chosen with as little as a week’s notice. Residents are encouraged to visit wasteinitsplace.ca for disposal options, pop-up junk days and spring cleaning events, as well as information on what services MetroVancouver municipalities offer for large item disposal.

Police forced to watch a heist Burnaby RCMP officers were forced to stand by and watch as a 20-year-old and two youths robbed a SaveOn-Foods in Coquitlam with a loaded sawed-off shotgun and a pistol.The Mounties had been tailing the trio, suspected in a string of robberies in the Burnaby area, but they didn’t have time to step in. Not wanting to escalate the dangerous situation, the officers bided their time. One Mountie managed to sneak in and witness the robbery. The culprits, carrying stolen cigarettes and $3,400 in illgotten cash, were arrested just minutes after the heist.

I was shocked to watch two seniors steal my stuff

Editor: On Saturday, April 6, the First Southwest Burnaby Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Venturers and Rovers held a bottle/can drive to support their programs and activities. Like many in our neighbourhood, I put out a few boxes of refundable items at the door, clearly labelled “Scouts.” Surely this is the least we can do to help children participate in organizations that foster good life skills, interaction, activity and citizenship. Even through a modest bottle drive, these young people learn that not everything is given to us without effort and that working - even for a few cents on a bottle – is how life unfolds for most of us. I am also fully cognizant that the world would not run without volunteers, whether it be those leading Scouts and Brownies, coaching children’s sports, serving hot lunches in schools, working at hospital gift shops, driving cancer patients to their appointments or teaching music to the underprivileged. The world is a better place because of selfless giving and support, at whatever level. It is no surprise, then, that I was not only exceptionally angry, but deeply chagrined when I spotted an elderly couple coming down my driveway and helping themselves to the empty cans which had been clearly left for the Scouts. What possesses people to take what is not theirs, to hijack an altruistic bottle drive for their own gain and, in the process, reduce the financial

support necessary to help organizations that focus on the young subsist? What grandparents can commit such a deed and not think a) it is immoral, b) what would this teach my grandchildren and c) what will the repercussions be when a group like the Scouts does not meet its financial goal and is forced to cancel activities? Let us all take a minute to remember how crucial our example – every day of the week - is to our children. How we live, how we choose to help and volunteer, and what we offer to those who are struggling are indeed the only tools we have to make of this world and better and more loving place.

Burnaby Hospital gave me excellent care

Editor: Thank you, Burnaby Hospital. At a time when there always seems to be more than enough criticism about the state of our healthcare system, I felt compelled to write about a recent unexpected visit to Burnaby Hospital. I had been sent to BH by my doctor. From the time that I entered the emergency to the following day I was discharged, I have to say I was treated quickly, professionally and compassionately during the entire process. I realize that these are things that hospital staff are all expected to do, but the way I was handled by every employee at BH hospital during my ordeal put me so at ease that I was absolutely blown away with the experience.

Boy sells toys to help friend go to New Zealand Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby boy on the autism spectrum gave up his beloved toys to help a friend pursue his dreams. Ryan, 9, sold his toys at the Kidstuff Sale at Bonsor Recreation Centre recently, raising $845.The money will help pay for his friend Darryl’s trip to New Zealand for the Special Needs

Taekwondo Games. Ryan and Darryl, who has Down syndrome, are members of the same taekwondo studio. “It was amazing how the community came together to support the initiative,” Ryan’s mom,Wendy Kyer wrote in an email. “People were touched by the fact that a nine-year-old boy on the autism spectrum was willing to sell his toys to

help a friend.” Darryl is a great inspiration to Ryan, Kyer said. “He has a black belt in taekwondo, which is an amazing feat for most people, but especially so for a young person with the challenges that Down syndrome bring,” she said. “Darryl is a great example not only for my son but for all of us on what you can achieve if you put your mind to it.”

Burnaby rep joins Daughters of the Vote protest

Bella Aung talks to the NOW about representing Burnaby North-Seymour in Ottawa – and turning her back on the PM Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

It was an act of silent protest that Bella Aung isn’t likely to forget: the moment when she turned her back on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in the House of Commons. Aung was the Burnaby NorthSeymour delegate to this year’s Daughters of the Vote, an event that brings 338 young women – one for each federal riding – to Ottawa to get a closer look at the inner workings of Canada’s political system.The first event was held in 2017, marking the 100th anniversary of women’s right to vote in federal elections. This year, the second in what’s planned as a biannual event, found the young women at the centre of a national media storm after two protests on April 3: one when a group of delegates turned their backs on Trudeau; the other when a group walked out on Conservative Party Leader Andrew Scheer. Aung, 23, had the chance to sit in Liberal MP Terry Beech’s seat for the occasion. For the record: yes, she did turn her back on Trudeau, and no, she didn’t walk out on Scheer. The delegates’ response to Trudeau was generally interpreted as a protest of his handling of the SNC-Lavalin affair and the decision to kick Vancouver-Granville

MP Jody Wilson-Raybould and Markham-Stouffville MP Jane Philpott out of the Liberal caucus. But Aung said Trudeau’s “mistakes” on the SNC-Lavalin file weren’t her motivator. Rather, it was his handling of questions by the delegates that eventually provoked her to get to her feet and turn her back. “When people started asking him questions, that’s when I started getting frustrated,” she said. “He wasn’t answering any questions directly, especially about Indigenous communities. … He wasn’t giving anything tangible. It was all words to me, all fluff.” It was the words of Hannah Martin, an Indigenous delegate from Nova Scotia, that convinced Aung to turn her back on Trudeau. Martin took the prime minister to task for his government’s “oppression” of her people, the Mi’kmaq, and told Trudeau that he couldn’t call himself a feminist if he allows corporations to rape the land. “That’s when I stood up,” Aung said. “If you only care about a certain type of woman and don’t acknowledge the existence of another type of woman, you cannot be a feminist.” And, no,Trudeau didn’t call on Aung to ask a question; if he had, she was ready to ask about the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project and how he could justify the potential risk to the safety

What is Daughters of the Vote? It’s organized by Equal Voice, a bilingual, multi-partisan organization that, since 2001, has been advocating for the equal representation of women in Parliament, in provincial and territorial legislatures and on municipal and band councils. The 2019 event brought 338 young women, aged 18 to 23, to sit in the House of Commons and take part in a variety of workshops and forums. Burnaby had three representatives for the 2019 event: Bella Aung for Burnaby North-Seymour; Georgina Johnston for Burnaby South; and Dolma Tsundu for New Westminster-Burnaby. - Source: www.daughtersofthevote.ca

of Burnaby Mountain. As far as Scheer was concerned: “I do not know his politics enough to protest him,” Aung said. The Myanmar-born Aung was raised in the U.S. and moved to Canada in 2017 to pursue her master’s degree in political science at Simon Fraser University. Aung notes her life has been shaped by both her own existence as a visible minority and her family background as Indigenous people in Myanmar (her grandparents were part of the Mon and Karen people).The Indigenous experience in Myanmar – where the Indigenous population has been “double colonized” by the Burmese and the British, and where Indigenous languages have been disappearing, in part because people were forced to attend Burmese-language schools – has strong parallels to that in Canada. Aung said she felt privileged to be welcomed into Indigenous spaces during the Daughters of the Vote event – which, along with the House of Commons session, included a chance to attend Question Period and visit the Senate, plus take part in two days of workshops. Aung said her interaction with Beech was highly positive. He took the time to meet with her, to be there to show her around and to introduce her to other elected officials, including Minister of Science Kirsty Duncan. Beech also acknowledged Aung in a statement in the House of Commons. “Terry is a very nice person,” Aung said. “His policies, in general, are not bad. I am a lot more radically left-wing than he is.” Since returning from Ottawa, Aung has also had a chance to meet with former New Democrat MP Svend Robinson, who’s hoping to claim Burnaby North-Seymour for the NDP come this fall’s federal election.

“A lot of his policies I agree on,” Aung said, noting some of her key issues are mental health, the pipeline and support for the LGBTQ community. Aung has been invited to help on Robinson’s campaign. She’s already offered the veteran politician – who’s returning to politics after a 15-year absence – some advice about becoming more social-media savvy and reaching out more actively to younger voters. “This riding is very vanilla, very neutral,” but the presence of the university could help to disrupt the status quo, she said, if someone can get the young voters to the polls. “There’s a lot of young

voters in this riding, too, who are not politically involved.There’s not much mobilization in this riding.” For the coming federal election, Aung has a message for fellow young voters. “I would just like to tell the young people of this riding to be more involved … and make sure they voice what they want from their representative,” she said. “If we don’t step out of our comfort zone and tell them what’s going on, they won’t know. …Your voice matters, and if you can mobilize, even better.” For an extended version of this story, see www.burnabynow.com.

City now Seized crime proceeds are helping women in need Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Crooks are doing their part to help vulnerable women in Burnaby this year. Five local organizations dedicated to combating sexual exploitation and violence against women will share a total of $125,000 in grants, thanks to assets seized from criminals by B.C.’s Civil Forfeiture Office. Through the Crime Prevention and Remediation grant program, the Civil Forfeiture Office aims to undermine the profit motive behind crime by taking away the tools and proceeds of crime and putting them back into programs that

support community crime prevention and safety. Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General Mike Farnworth announced this year’s grants at an event in Surrey Friday. Just over $6 million in one-time grants will be distributed this year to more than 170 organizations and projects. “Many of these organizations are working with our most vulnerable citizens, helping them to rebuild and heal after years of violence or working to prevent youth from engaging in a life of crime,” Farnworth said. In Burnaby,Vancouver & Lower Mainland Multicultural Family Support Services Society will get $30,000 for workshops

… these projects will address the root issues of crime aimed at educating immigrant and refugee women about the impact of domestic and sexual violence on their health and lives and that of their children. Dixon Transition Society will get $30,000 to fund an Indigenous community liaison who will bring an Indigenous lens to Dixon Transition Society’s programs and build partnerships with Indigenous service providers to support women and chil-

dren accessing Dixon programs. The Salvation Army will get $30,000 for a project that helps women and children fleeing domestic violence settle into new homes after their stay in a transition house by providing items like beds and mattresses, linens and towels, pots and pans, dishes and other items. Asian Women for Equality Society will get $25,000 to fund workshops and legal clinics for service providers and vulnerable women in the sex trade to increase their awareness and understanding of criminal records and pardon applications to reduce barriers to employment, education and participation in community ac-

MLA Janet Routledge said in a press release. “The healing and restorative nature of these projects will address the root issues of crime and help make Burnaby a safer place for all of us.” Since 2006, the Crime Prevention and Remediation grant program has distributed more than $39 million to organizations throughout B.C.

KidsMove program gets a boost from Beedie Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A local kids health and fitness program got a $27,000 shot in the arm last week thanks to a Burnaby developer. KidsMove Schools is a 10-week program developed by Fortius Sport & Health to help children aged nine to 12 years develop physical skills, competency and confidence. Launched in 2017, the program is provided at no cost to Burnaby schools, thanks to funding from the Fortius Foundation, the Steve Nash Foundation and TELUS. Burnaby developer Beedie joined in last week, announcing a $27,000 donation from its foundation, Beedie Cares, on April 9. That money will allow Fortius to expand the program at Douglas Road Elementary, including inschool teacher training sessions and a sports equipment box that will allow

teachers at the school to integrate KidsMove concepts into every PE class. “We’re building capacity of kids but we’re also building capacity of teachers,” Burnaby school district director of instruction Peter Dubinsky said. “That’s a huge component of the program.The teachers are learning along with the kids. It’s a 10-week program, but the idea is that it becomes a routine in the classroom and in PE classes.” KidsMove Schools has seen 450 students from nine elementary schools go through the 10-week program at the state-of-theart Fortius centre on Kensington Avenue beside the Burnaby Lake Sports Complex. “When Fortius was created and we created this incredible building, we said we wanted to be a community asset,” Fortius Foundation executive director Andy Price said. “This isn’t just about professional athletes coming in and getting treat-

ment.This is about supporting the whole of the Burnaby community, and, for us, programs like KidsMove are really what this is all about.” Delivered by Fortius strength-and-conditioning coaches, each of the KidsMove sessions involves a variety of sports and movement-based activities designed to foster the basics of agility, balance, coordination and speed. The program also teaches kids about things like mental health and sportsmanship. “It goes beyond just simply playing sports,” Dubinsky said. “What I love about this program in particular is the focus on all aspects of being healthy.There’s healthy movement, healthy nutrition, healthy sleep, how to deal with anxiety … I couldn’t be more pleased with the quality of the program.” For more information about KidsMove Schools, visit www.fortiussport.com.

Two more schools to get rainbow crosswalks Cornelia Naylor

CLASS ACT

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Two more Burnaby high schools are getting rainbow crosswalks. The board of education voted unanimously to approve crosswalks at Burnaby Central and Cariboo Hill Secondary Schools. The district’s first rainbow crosswalk was painted at Burnaby Mountain Secondary just before the start of this school year as a symbol of diversity. Moscrop Secondary also has one.

COOK FOR COMMUNITY Burnaby North’s Vanessa Scrimini is one of only 30 students throughout the country selected to be an Education First CanadianYouth Ambassador for 2019. Education First empowers students to identify an issue in their community and help address it. Vanessa’s idea – to help bridge cultural differences at her school – is to hold monthly themed international cooking classes led by students and their families. In May, the ambassadors present action plans to MPs

and Senators in Ottawa.

MOSCROP MATHLETES AMONG CANADA’S BEST After four of six separate contests, Moscrop Secondary’s Math Team is currently in second place in all of Canada in the National Mathematics League. They are just one point behind first place. Hundreds of Burnaby’s elementary and secondary students enter math contests throughout the school year. PHYSICS OLYMPICS Meanwhile Moscrop Sec-

ondary’s Physics Olympics team placed fourth overall at the prestigious Physics Olympics competition held at UBC in March. Seventy-four high schools from throughout B.C. competed for medals in science events. Moscrop’s team built two machines, competing in four additional onsite events to earn the best finish the school has ever achieved.

CANNABIS CANDOUR With the legalization of cannabis, the district’s Safe and Caring Schools Team

arranged for access to a federal interactive installation. Students learned about the potential side effects of cannabis use with hands-on activities, such as virtual reality. They could see the difference consuming cannabis made to their coordination, memory and attention, and learn about the potential long-term effects on their developing brains.The installation came to five high schools from January to early March.

Communitynow Teen onstage with Showstoppers

ENVIRONMENT

On a mission to save the creek Desirée Garcia

editorial@burnabynow.com

Noam Breger has made it his mission to save the animals, plants and people around the Stoney Creek trail. You could say he has different goals than most eightyear-old boys – and he’s letting government know about it. Breger, who lives near the trail, was out for a walk on a warm day when he noticed pockets of rusted metal fencing had started to fall into the bushes and the creek where salmon and other wildlife are known to inhabit. Some areas had no fencing in place, allowing litter and debris to fall into the creek. It bothered him. A lot. “We only have one habitable place, so we need to protect it,” Breger told the NOW. He’s now followed through thanks to a final project at his school, in

which students were asked to identify problems within their communities. Using plasticine, toothpicks, twigs and toy animals, Breger recalled the dangerous metal fencing in his neighbourhood and created a model that included a suggestion to replace it with eco-friendly red cedar wood. But that wasn’t enough. In early February, Breger went even further by providing the City of Burnaby with photos and a letter explaining the dangerous situation at the creek. To the amazement of Breger’s family and teachers, a man named Dave Poulin – a city foreman – called the school to speak with Breger directly about the fencing he had seen in the Stoney Creek area. “He was just so excited that they would take his recommendation seriously,” Breger’s teacher Lindsay Causey said. Breger, whose family has been attending the Great

A Burnaby teen will be in the spotlight when Showstoppers joins the Marcus Mosely Chorale in concert on April 26. The concert,You’re the Voice!, is at Highlands United Church (3255 Edgemont Blvd., NorthVancouver) at 8 p.m. Burnaby’s Avril Brigden will be onstage with Showstoppers – a Glee-style group made up of young performers who’ve taken part in the Gotta Sing! Gotta Dance! musical theatre camp at the Jewish Community Centre of GreaterVancouver. The young troupe has performed on a wide range of stages – as guests with legendary rock group Foreigner, for Canada Day at Canada Place, at the PNE, and singing the anthems for Canucks games, among others. The group will be the special guests for the night, which is the season finale concert for the choir – a 60-plus-voice choir of

Salmon Send-Off at Stoney Creek for nearly a decade, said he loves animals and nature and doesn’t want to see man-made things pose a threat to the animals in his community, specifically the salmon. The area in which the metal fencing is currently in place is actually Metro Vancouver’s jurisdiction, said Poulin, although the city does help out with some maintenance to protect the

fish that may be spawning in the creek. The city is investigating how the metal fence got in the area as it is not a type of fencing the city normally uses. Poulin says that it has had to prioritize other park-related concerns due to a busy time of year, but it does hope to implement Breger’s recommendation when possible.

MetroVancouver singers that performs primarily gospel music. Director Marcus Mosely says the theme of this concert is an important one. “It’s about speaking up and singing out about what matters,” he said in a press release. “The voice is one of our most powerful tools. It is a first freedom … and usually the first thing that despots seek to shut down.The voice can heal. It can inspire. It can warm. It can teach.The voice can comfort a child, or motivate a nation. It is our power.” Tickets for the concert are $30 regular, $25 for students and seniors, and can be purchased through www.brownpapertickets.ca (search for Marcus Mosely Chorale) or by calling 604770-1088.

LEAPING TO NEW HEIGHTS Congratulations to former Burnaby resident and current National Ballet of Canada dancer Jeannine Haller. Haller has been featured in these pages a couple of times before for her accomplishments in ballet, and her star is continuing to rise. Haller studied ballet for many years at Coquitlam’s Place des Arts under Lucienne Anczykowski before being accepted into Canada’s National Ballet School in Grade 11. She joined the National Ballet of Canada in 2015 as an apprentice and won the company’s RBC Apprentice Award in 2016, becoming a member of the corps de ballet that same year. Haller is continuing to thrive in the world of ballet – in fact, she just represented the National Ballet at the 13th international competition for the Erik Bruhn Prize, held March 23 in To-

ronto. The prestigious competition brings together top young dancers, aged 18 to 23, representing international ballet companies. Haller was paired with Siphesihle November to represent Canada’s national ballet company, going up against pairs from American Ballet Theatre, Hamburg Ballet and the Royal Danish Ballet.Though Haller didn’t win the women’s prize (that honour went to American Ballet Theatre’s Catherine Hurlin), her partner won the men’s honours. And, as it happens, prospects are good for those who dance in the competition; historically, those young dancers selected to dance for the prize go on to become principal dancers in the company. Which means we no doubt have more headlines to look forward to from this rising star. Congratulations, Jeannine!

We are Neighbours is a monthly series profiling volunteers with Burnaby Neighbourhood House. GEETHA MANUMARI I arrived in Canada with my family in 2016. My husband found work and my son began attending elementary school. I felt isolated – navigating a new country and a language with only a small circle of contacts in my neighbourhood. My English skills were at an entry level, so I found it difficult to meet friends.The connections I made were mostly parents from my son’s school. I began to spend more time there and am so happy I did. In October 2017, the school was planning to celebrate Diwali. In my country, Diwali is observed everywhere.We as parents always cook traditional meals and throw a celebration in the schools to honour our children’s teachers and show appreciation for the work they do. I wanted to be involved in the celebration at the school. One parent was the main organizer, and she was the perfect candidate for this celebration. She knew everyone and was able to set up a team of enthusiastic volunteers – she brought the spirit of Diwali to the school. She asked each team member to cook a meal, and because I love art, I offered to decorate. The celebration was amazing, and everyone, both parents and teachers, enjoyed the event. I am happy to say that the parent who organized the event became my friend. Sadly, the next year she moved away.

Celebration: Geetha Manumari is a Burnaby Neighbourhood House volunteer. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

We thought that would be the end of Diwali celebrations at our school. Then, some parents approached me to take it over. I still spoke poor English and wasn’t prepared for this kind of commitment. I am a shy person and full of doubts. How could I suddenly become a leader without any contacts and friends – not to mention my basic English vocabulary? How could I ask for help of people I didn’t know? However, the parents didn’t give up and convinced me to accept. Even my husband encouraged me. “You were amazing last year, this is your chance to meet new people and make new friends – just go for it.” So I collected phone numbers of parents and texted them. I asked them to help and to tell their friends we needed volunteers. I prepared all the recipes and

asked people to cook. I tried to connect with every single person – the people who made the posters, the artists, the singers and dancers and the storytellers of our culture. Most of them were newcomers just like me, and they enjoyed the chance to meet other people. After all our work, Diwali began and I saw how proud and happy everyone was.We did a great job. I managed to organize all the people without perfect English language skills and without a network. It made me feel more confident. I’m not so shy anymore, and I now have a lot of new friends.We are all looking forward to Diwali 2019 preparations – we will do it together. Geetha works as a volunteer at the Burnaby Neighbourhood House front reception desk. See www.burnabynh.ca.

PARENTING

Don’t freak out about tree climbing Mommy’s

GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

I can still remember a climbing tree – my favourite one in the city – that used to sit next to the playground on Kits Beach in Vancouver. From the outside, it looked like any other bushy tree, but inside, it was a web of intertwined branches that stretched outwards like the steps of a ladder. Looking up from the inside, the branches seemed to go on forever, winding around the trunk until they touched the bright opening at the top of the tree. I would climb to the top effortlessly, and then wave to my mom from the opening in the sky. Not once do I remember my mom yelling for me to come down, or cautioning me to “be careful.” Instead, she would just smile and wave back at me. The other day, as I watched my son and his friends scale a tree in my backyard, my heart began

to race as his foot reached for a branch that sat above the height of my head. As he took each step upwards, my comfort level sank. Part of me wanted to cheer him on, while the other part of me wanted to shout for him to get down immediately before he breaks something. It didn’t take long for the latter part of me to kick in. My son regularly engages in one-on-one sparring matches in his karate class, and I watch on without worry. He plays soccer and flag football, and I rarely wince when he falls or takes a hard hit. Yet, when he climbs a tree, I clam up and call him down.Why am I so afraid of something so natural and inherently safe? Earlier this week I came across an article on a site called TreeHugger titled, “Climbing trees is safer than organized sports” and I was quick to click, hoping for some factual evidence to help ease my fears. In the article, a study conducted by the Univer-

sity of Phoenix is quoted, sharing, “Researchers surveyed 1,600 parents who let their children climb trees and found that the most common injury by far was scraped skin. Only two percent of the parents responded that their child had broken a bone and even fewer had suffered from a concussion. Meanwhile, more than

Tree climbing encourages adventure ... 3.5 million American children under the age of 14 receive medical treatment for injuries from organized sports every year.” So statistically speaking, our children are much safer hanging from trees than they are playing organized sports each year. The study goes on to share that, “Outdoor play activities involve problem solving, critical thinking, and taking risks. Learning

from trial and error often happens in these outdoor play activities.Tree climbing encourages adventure, creativity and inspiration. Introducing children to spatial awareness very early in their motor development is helpful.The various levels of height and space in tree climbing provide children opportunities for challenges and risk negotiation.” After reading this, I realized just how overly (and unnecessarily) cautious I have been when it comes to letting my kids climb trees. It’s in our nature to want to explore the outdoors, and the best way to connect with nature is to do so in the same way that we did when we were kids. Next time my children try to scale a new tree, I’m going to take a deep breath, bite my tongue, and wave quietly when they reach the top, just as my mom did for me.

Communitynow A lifetime relationship DavidicusWong HEALTHWISE

editorial@burnabynow.com

In the office of my family practice, hidden from the view of patients, is a sign along the edge of the counter for my staff to see each day. It reads: “Treat every patient like family.” It’s at the heart of our daily work: to give every individual the care and consideration we would want for a best friend or family member. If you’re seeing unfamiliar health-care providers and worry that they may have rushed to the wrong diagnosis, ask yourself two questions.What else could it be?What’s the worse thing it could be? This may open clinical minds prematurely closed with the pressure of time. If you’re not sure about the management of your concern, ask, “What would you recommend to your mother (brother or child)?” This might remind the health-care provider what should be obvious – that

you are a precious individual – someone else’s best friend and loved one. I remember the moment I knew I wanted to be a doctor. I was in Grade 6 and hospitalized for a painful case of rheumatoid arthritis. On the pediatric ward of Burnaby Hospital, I felt that the caring nurses and doctors were treating me as a whole person and not just my condition, and I knew I wanted to do this work when I grew up. The doctors appeared to have the easier job, and it seemed that everything the doctors ever told me I had already read about in my family’s medical encyclopedia. That’s how I chose medicine. Family practice is a unique specialty.We don’t treat particular diseases or organ systems for a limited period of time. Rather, we treat the whole person over many years.The family doctor sees the medical condition only in the context of the rest of the individual’s life including their impor-

tant relationships. I expected it to be a more satisfying calling, nurturing my relationship with each patient over time while working together in attending to that individual’s wellbeing. Guiding and advocating for my patients through health, illness, the ups and downs of their personal lives, we earn trust and confidence over many years. I spend many hours each week counselling my patients through the challenging times in their lives. My clinic and sleep schedules are still interrupted by the delivery of babies. It is gratifying guiding patients I have known for years through the most exciting times in their lives: pregnancy, childbirth and the adventure of parenthood. Family doctors specialize in the care of you, the whole person in the context of your life and relationships over a lifetime. Dr. DavidicusWong is a family physician. See his blog at davidicuswong.wordpress. com.

The Patient-Doctor Relationship: Getting the Most Out of Every Visit: Dr. Davidicus Wong will give a talk on Monday, April 29, 7 p.m. at the Bob Prittie (Metrotown) branch of the Burnaby Public Library. This free talk is part of the Burnaby Division of Family Practice’s Empowering Patients education series. Dr. Wong will discuss tips on how to work with your doctor; the key information you need to know about every prescription, test and treatment; the key screening tests adults should have at different ages; and more. Space is limited. Register at 604-436-5400 or bpl.bc.ca, or in person at any library information desk.

HOCKEY

From a small dream to a big goal

Burnaby’s Mark Soares is sharing his passion for hockey through his new business Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Sometimes big things start from small ideas. Burnaby’s Mark Soares has travelled a long route while playing the nation’s winter sport, opened multiple doors while overcoming the perception that height was a deciding factor. And, while an injury put the brakes to his playing career – after a successful three-year stint playing pro in Europe – hockey remains in his DNA. The five-foot-six Soares, who emerged from four years at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay with a degree in business, is eager to share his knowledge with young hockey players as part of his new venture, Maxx Force Hockey. “I decided to start a hockey business, something I’m passionate about. Now I’m all about developing young hockey players and shaping them into the players they want to be,” said Soares, who starred in junior hockey as a member of the Coquitlam and later Burnaby Express of the B.C. Hockey League.

Play

His route to this spot involved a disappointing debut to college hockey, a Royal Bank Cup title, a great collegiate comeback, and a four-year stint on the German and Dutch hockey circuits. From an early age, Soares faced questions about his size and how coaches perceived his ability to survive, never mind thrive, against bigger kids.The Burnaby minor hockey product got short shrift at two junior A hockey camps as a 16-year-old, and made it a personal goal that the last team, the Coquitlam Express, wouldn’t be able to say no. “My size was certainly a factor but I never gave any coaches any excuses. I always showed up in shape, probably better than 90 per cent of the guys in camp. I gave them no reasons to cut me. “For me it was kind of the last resort and I had to give it my all to get on the team. I basically wasn’t taking no for an answer despite my size against me, my age – I just turned 16 at the camp.The lesson would be not to give up.” With the Express, Soares found a perfect fit. One season, his stall was situated between linemates

Milan Lucic and Andrew Ladd – both eager teens who took their experiences to the highest level. Soares gratefully accepted a scholarship to NCAA Div. 1 Bemidji in Minnesota, but found himself relegated to a non-playing role.That sparked Express co-owner/GM Darcy Rota and head coach Rick Lanz to ask the school’s coach why there was no

After that phone call, the two asked Soares if he’d return to end the season back in his hometown, where the club had relocated to play at Copeland Arena. That club, led by a young Kyle Turris, would march all the way to a Royal Bank Cup championship. From there, he got a scholarship with Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, earning the Ontario Athletic West’s Rookie of the

Year prize. He’d later be a second team all-star and, as a senior, the league’s Most Sportsmanlike Player. Upon graduation, the game steered Soares to the German second division with Kaufbeuren, where he was one of the team’s top-five scorers. After two seasons in Kaufbeuren, he signed for more money with the third division Weiden Blue Devils, who were looking to qualify for a second-division berth. Just three games into his tenure, Soares tore his ACL and MCL in an on-ice collision, ending in a lengthy road of recovery. Even with two surgeries, the knee eventually forced him to retire after 2013/14.There were fewer decisions more difficult. “For me to walk away was pretty difficult. In my mind, and the way I felt I still had a ton of energy and the capability to play, but my knee basically wouldn’t let me.” But he couldn’t give up the game completely, and now enjoying helping others work on and improve their skills.

Burnaby’s Justin Kent may look the part of fictional Clark Kent, but his run on Sunday was more a kin to Superman. The national team cross country runner became the first local since 1992 to capture the Vancouver Sun Run on Sunday, completing the 10-kilometre road course in 29:30, a split second ahead of another Burnaby product,Trevor Hofbauer. Kent, 26, made the most of a cool, cloudy forecast and fronted a charging pack over the final two kilo-metres, edging ahead of twotime winner Paul Kimugul of Kenya and three others in the last kilome-tre. His time was also a personal best, clipping nearly 25 seconds off his previous fastest time set just two months ago in Encinitas, Calif. Kent, who represented Canada at the 2018 Pan American cross country championships, had registered a new PB in the 5km race last month, with a finish time of 14:13. The Burnaby resident, who grew up in Surrey, pocketed $5,500 for being the Sun Run’s fastest runner and fastest Canadian. Hofbauer, a former Canadian marathon champion who now runs out of Calgary, completed the race in 29:30, just six seconds shy of his personal top time, established nearly a year ago. Placing 51st among male runners and first for those in the 45-49 age group was Burnaby’s Oliver Utting, with a time of 33:44. On the women’s side, Burnaby’s Lindsay Carson posted the top local time, finishing seventh with a time of 34:24, less than two minutes behind North Vancouver’s Natasha Wodak. Carson, who like Kent was on the senior Canadian roster at the 2018 Pan American cross country team, was just 44 seconds off her best time, set at the 2014 Sun Run. A month ago she recorded a PB in the 5-km event in Vancouver. In 50th place was Burnaby’s Anna Dulko, who like Carson competed in the female 25-29 age group. The race drew more than 41,000 participants.

A junior and Burnaby Central alum, Mah captured top-10 finishes in both the 100- and 200-metre dashes with personal best times and anchored SFU’s 400m relay to a seventh place result. Mah placed sixth in the 100m with a personal besttying time of 10.75 seconds, just .08 seconds out of third position.

He says the influence of coaches who helped him is part of what he shares with his students. “I really enjoy having a hockey stick in my hand and shooting the puck, passing with the kids and working with them to see them develop to become better hockey players. For me, it’s kind of a replacement of hockey, of what hockey did for me.”

B.C. home sales see chilly March, sliding 23% It may have been a warm March in terms of the weather, but the province’s real estate market is still experiencing a considerable chill. B.C. home sales slid 23 per cent year-over-year to a total of 5,707 resale transactions in March, according to the latest data from the British Columbia Real Estate Association (BCREA). Year-to-date, unit sales fell 27 per cent across the whole province, from 18,953 to 13,816. In Greater Vancouver, home sales dropped 31.6 per cent in March compared with the previous year. Some 1,745 units changed hands in the month, down from 2,551 in March 2018. Year-to-date, unit sales fell 34.1 per cent in the region.

“B.C. home sales continue to be adversely impacted by federal mortgage policy.” CAMERON MUIR, BCREA Chief Economist

“B.C. home sales continue to be adversely impacted by federal mortgage policy,” said Cameron Muir, BCREA’s chief economist. “The erosion of affordability caused by the B20 stress test has created near recession level housing demand despite the province boasting the lowest unemployment rates in a decade. Muir added that this continued lack of affordability was creating pent-up demand as would-be buyers put their purchasing plans temporarily on hold.

Burnaby / Tri-Cities

“Unfortunately, new home construction is slowing as well, which will likely lead to another housing supply crunch down the road,” he said. Average prices falling The average home sale price in B.C. fell 5.4 per cent year over year to $687,720. In Greater Vancouver, the average sale price dropped 3.9 per cent year-over-year to $982,654, compared with $1,022,523. The slowing sales have contributed to a rise in home inventory on the market. Total active listings across B.C. increased 36.2 per cent to 34,295 units, compared with the same month last year. The ratio of sales to active listings has fallen from 29.4 per cent (a strong seller’s market) to 16.6 per cent (a balanced market) over the past year. All the B.C. real estate boards that contributed statistics to the report cited a year-over-year decline in sales and average prices, with the exceptions of B.C. Northern, Kamloops and the very small market of Northern Lights. In the B.C. Northern region – which includes Prince George and Kitimat – average sale prices are up close to eight per cent over last year, reflecting renewed investment in these cities due to upcoming liquefied natural gas projects.

ACCOUNTING BICKERSTAFF, Dorothy Ida Born in Lachine, Quebec October 25, 1923. Passed away April 4, 2019 at St. Michael’s Hospice in Burnaby in her 96th year. She is survived by her daughters, Frances Bickerstaff (William Zander) of New Westminster and Gretchen Bickerstaff (Brian Rizzo) of New York, and by her beloved cat, Tommy Tabby, who slept with her every night with his paw on her arm. Dorothy loved walking and being outdoors. When indoors, she was a quilter and knitter and donated all her finished products to charity. She will be remembered by those who knew and cared about her for her spirited, free-thinking and independent nature and her love of animals. The family would like to thank the staff at Royal Columbian Hospital and St. Michael’s Hospice for their care and kindness to Dorothy in her last days. Dorothy will be cremated and there will be no memorial, in accordance with her request.
