LABOUR

Changes praised by care aides Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Christine, a care aide who worked in a psychiatric facility, suffered post-traumatic stress disorder after being sexually assaulted by a patient. She was later subjected to two psychiatric evaluations as part of a difficult process to secure the supports she needed from WorkSafeBC. “The hoops I had to jump through to prove that my trauma was caused by a workplace incident was almost as traumatizing as the incident itself,” Christine said. Christine, who did not provide her last name, was one of two care aides to speak at a press conference at Burnaby’s New Vista Society care home on Tuesday.The event highlighted two changes – presumptive compensation approvals and successorship protection – to the province’s Labour Relations Code. As of April, care aides like Christine no longer have to prove a mental health injury was caused on the job. Publicly funded health-care professionals, along with first responders, 911 dispatchers and nurses, are now presumed to have incurred PTSD or other mental health disorders on the job. “I can honestly say, if I didn’t have to prove that the trauma of those three days caused this PTSD that I live with now, that would have been a blessing,” Christine said, referring to the day of her attack and the subsequent two days when she continued to work in the same facility. Jennifer Whiteside, secretary-business manager of

the Hospital Employees’ Union, which represents B.C.’s care aides, praised the move. Whiteside also praised a proposed change to B.C.’s labour laws that would protect workers subject to socalled “contract flipping” – when an employer changes contracts with a contractor providing services. Care aides are especially vulnerable to contract flipping, Labour Minister Harry Bains said. It’s common for care aides to be left without jobs when their employer changes contracts, he said.The employees then have to apply for their jobs again and, Bains said, even if they are rehired, it’s often at a loss of union representation, seniority and pay. Under proposed labour code changes that are up for a final vote in the legislature next week, new contractors would be required to respect existing unions and collective agreements. Jhove Satumera said she was been subjected to several contract flips. “For the last 16 years, we were always afraid that contract flipping was around the corner, that everyone would be laid off and we would have to start all over – again and again,” she said. “I was worried I wouldn’t see the seniors I care for again. Like every care aide I know, I love my job and I love the seniors we care for.” When a contract was flipped, Satumera was rehired but as a non-unionized worker and making half her previous wages.The care aides had to re-unionize every time, she said. “Each one was distressful and scary,” she said.

Watchdog group calls on B.C. to slash gas taxes

CTF says TransLink could withstand a loss in revenue by cutting executive pay - TransLink disagrees Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

As gas prices balloon and British Columbians plan summer road trips, a watchdog group is calling on the provincial government to slash fuel taxes. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation held a press conference at a New Westminster gas station Thursday to call on NDP Premier John Horgan to eliminate the carbon tax and slash Metro Vancouver’s TransLink tax. “A lot of folks, as we’ve heard over the last several weeks, are finding it difficult to fill up their vehicles,” the federation’s B.C. director, Kris Sims, said. “These are people who are commuting to work, they’re dropping off their kids at school, they’re picking up groceries, and now a lot of them are hoping to plan for their summer vacations.” If gas costs $1.69 per litre, 54 cents of that goes to various taxes, according to the CTF.The carbon tax accounts for 8.9 cents, while the provincial excise tax and TransLink tax account for 8.5 cents and 17 cents respectively, the group claims.

Taxes on a litre of gas in Metro Vancouver have risen a total of 2.5 cents since 2018, Sims said. Sims said the province should eliminate the carbon tax and the excise tax and slash the TransLink tax by almost half to 10 cents per litre. “We, as always, are calling for lower taxes on gasoline, not higher,” she said. The NOW requested an interview with Bruce Ralston, minister of jobs, trade and technology. Ralston didn’t respond by deadline, but a spokesperson issued a statement attributed to Ralston.The statement said gas prices have risen by 40 cents in B.C. over the last three months while the carbon tax only rose by one cent. “The other 39-cent increase is going to oil and gas companies who are gouging British Columbians.This kind of proposal (from the CTF) will not bring relief, but instead, as many experts have said, would act as a giant subsidy to the oil industry. Additionally, it would result in massive cuts to important services and transit investments that people de-

PHOTO KELVIN GAWLEY pend on.” But Sims said TransLink is an overfunded organization that could afford losing revenue from the gas tax by cutting executives’ pay. “We think they need to do better budgeting,” she said. “We think that they need to live more within their means.”

The fuel tax covers approximately 26 per cent of TransLink’s operating budget, according to Jill Drews, a spokesperson for the transit authority. “A seven-cent-per-litre cut suggested by the CTF would mean massive cuts to current service levels when overcrowding is already a

problem,” Drews said. The motor fuel tax that funds TransLink will increase from 17 to 18.5 cents in July to close a $30-million funding gap for service improvements, she said. That money will cover more than 900,000 bus service hours, new express BLine buses, a 40-per-cent

increase in SkyTrain service along the Expo and Millenium lines, $75 million in road improvements and “much-anticipated SkyTrain extensions in Vancouver and Surrey,” Drews said. “This expansion will not be possible without the fuel tax increase,” she said.

SAFETY

Bylaw officers on bikes in Burnaby parks are here to stay Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Bylaw officers on bikes are here to stay in parks and at big public events in Burnaby. City council voted unanimously this week to make the municipal bike patrol permanent now that a one-year pilot project has wrapped up. Four trained bylaw officers took to their bikes on May 19, 2018 in a pilot project designed to gauge the patrol’s potential effectiveness in enhancing public safety and security in parks and other public places by deterring nuisance and illegal activity. After training in personal safety, bicycle handling and bylaw enforcement, they were issued high-visibility uniforms and deployed in pairs, operating seven days a week, including holidays. According to a report to council on the project, the

five most common infractions the patrol encountered from June 1, 2018 to Sept. 30, 2018 were off-leash dogs (686), parking (449), drug and alcohol use (222), camping in parks (127) and people making fires (51). The patrol has spent much of its time educating the public on bylaws and getting voluntary compliance without issuing tickets. “Immediately upon the launch of the program, feedback received from the general public has been overwhelmingly positive,” stated the staff report. The municipal bike patrol was one of several measures to enhance park safety announced by the city after 13-year-old Marrisa Shen’s body was found in Central Park in July 2017. Coun. Dan Johnston, chair of the public safety committee, noted Monday that the municipal bike squad is “distinct from the RCMP bike patrol” but that

Pedal pushers: Coun. Pietro Calendino (centre) with members of the bike patrol. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

they have similar objectives. “They’re able to make people feel a little safer and address some of the issues in the past,” he said. The public safety committee’s former chair, Coun.

Pietro Calendino, welcomed the idea of a permanent municipal bike patrol. “The good thing about the parks bike patrol is that they’re not restricted to the parks alone; they will also

participate in various community events to assist the RCMP,” he said. “I’m also pleased to see that we also now have re-established the RCMP bike patrol.The two, I think, will

work together in ensuring that we keep Burnaby a safe community and that we ensure that people feel safe in our community.” Chief Supt. Deanne Burleigh had disbanded the RCMP bike patrol because of a shortage of police resources. The city hadn’t funded an increase in the local detachment’s numbers for 10 years – a decade that coincided with Calendino’s tenure as chair of the public safety committee (previously called the community policing committee). Three months before the last municipal election, though, former Mayor Derek Corrigan and his Burnaby Citizens Association council unanimously approved a plan to hire eight extra officers in 2018 and six more in 2019, allowing for the bike patrol to be reinstated.

Councillor wants four rainbow crosswalks Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby councillor wants to see rainbow crosswalks painted at four prominent intersections in the city as a signal of acceptance and celebration of the LGBTQIA2S (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual/aromantic and two-spirit) community. Coun. Dan Johnston presented a notice of motion at a recent council meeting that, if passed at a future meeting, will direct staff to identify an intersection in each of Burnaby’s four quadrants where a Pride flag can be painted. He wants to see the first one painted before the city’s second annual Pride festival in August. “I just think that this is 2019 and that we don’t need to hide the issue,” Johnston told the NOW. “LGBT people should be part of our community, and it’s time that we encourage them to be part of our community.”

The city painted a rainbow crosswalk on Jubilee Avenue last year, where it held the city’s first Pride Street Party.The crosswalk remains now, but Johnston said he wants to see others at busier intersections on roads such as Hastings Street, Kingsway, Edmonds Street, North Road

or Lougheed Highway. “I think it’s time that we don’t necessarily put (a rainbow crosswalk) on a quiet street that nobody even notices it’s there,” he said. “I think if we’re going to do it, they should be in places where people can see them, enjoy them.” Johnston said the cross-

walks should funded by the city’s casino revenues, rather than property taxes. It cost the City of Port Coquitlam $9,000 to paint a rainbow crosswalk in 2018. The motion is expected to be up for a vote at the next council meeting on May 27.

Astrophysicist running for Greens Brent Richter

Amita Kuttner would much rather be unravelling the mysteries of the universe but first, there are more pressing terrestrial problems to solve. The 28-year-old is two weeks away from defending her doctoral thesis on wormholes and black holes in the early universe, but the Green Party candidate for Burnaby-North Seymour officially launched her campaign last week. “If I didn’t feel like this was absolutely urgently necessary, I would be doing astrophysics,” she said. If Kuttner’s name is familiar, it may be because her mother was killed in the 2005 Blueridge mudslide, while she was away at boarding school. “Since then I’ve been pursuing my education and really just going after science for the beauty of it. At some point in grad school, I realized I was very dissatis-

fied with the way the world is and I would not be willing to witnesses it disappear and change,” she said. “I decided I had to do something service oriented.” Kuttner said she found a home with the Green Party because they were most willing to listen to her ideas, especially in her chief area of policy interest: the coming disruption as technological advances in automation, artificial intelligence and robotics displace workers

across the economy. “Unlike previous revolutions, this one affects everyone. In some sectors, services will be almost entirely wiped out first,” she said. “There is a complete policy void.” To be ready, Canada should provide education for free, so as people’s jobs disappear, they have every chance to retrain for new work, she said. And the country’s social safety net will need a universal basic

income or a guaranteed livable income. “You have to make sure you do it in a way that is equitable and maintains our democracy and strengthens our democracy,” she said. Canada also needs be creating a regulatory body to govern AI and to do its part in ensuring autonomous weapons are banned globally, Kuttner added. Because of Kuttner’s expertise, she has already been named the Green Party’s critic for science and innovation. As a young person coming out of school, you can also expect Kuttner to campaign on the usual kitchen table issues like the cost of living and the lack of meaningful employment. The climate crisis, of course will be a part of her campaign, but Kuttner isn’t concerned about the search for answers there. “All the solutions to the climate crisis exist. It’s just a matter of implementing them,” she said.

Ex-MLA Lee won’t run in fed election Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Liberal Richard Lee has pulled out of the race to represent Burnaby South in Ottawa. The former MLA came in second in the Feb. 25 byelection in the riding, losing to NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh. Lee had planned to run again in this fall’s general federal election, but has decided not to seek the nomination “following news of his wife combatting a challenging illness,” party spokesperson Parker Lund wrote in an email. “Liberals are very grateful to Richard Lee for his dedicated service as the Team Trudeau candidate in the recent Burnaby South byelection, and for his many decades of contributions to the people of Burnaby as a devoted community leader and legislator,” Lund wrote. “Our sympathies and best wishes are with Richard and

his family in the days and weeks ahead.” Lee served as a BC Liberal MLA for 16 years before losing to the NDP’s Janet Routledge in 2017. Lee ran in Burnaby South after the exit of candidate Karen Wang. Lund said the Liberal Party will now work to nominate someone else in Burnaby South. He did not say when that would happen. The People’s Party’s byelection candidate, LauraLynn Tyler Thompson, has also changed plans since indicating she would run again in Burnaby South. She will instead run in the Alberta riding of Red DeerLacombe this fall. Singh has said he will run in Burnaby South in October, as has the Conservative candidate from the byelection, Jay Shin.The People’s Party and Green Party (which did not run a candidate in the byelection) have yet to nominate candidates.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Too many motorcyclists are dying on our roads

The BC Coroners Service updated its vehicle-involved fatality report, which captured a rise in deaths involving motorcyclists. In 2018, 16 per cent of the 314 road deaths involved motorcycles or mopeds.This number is fiveper-cent higher than the 11-per-cent average over the past decade. In 2018 alone, there were 51 motorcyclist deaths.This is the highest annual total for the past decade and a 50-per-cent increase over 2017.

Burnaby had a nasty year on the roads for motorcyclists, with at least three fatalities known in 2018. In August, a 34-yearold man died after slamming his motorcycle into a tree on Griffiths Drive near 14th Avenue. On June 2, a 51-year-old man was thrown from his bike on Burnaby Mountain Parkway near Gaglardi Way and later died. A couple of weeks later, another man was killed on the BurnabyNew Westminster border after his motorcycle collided

with a car on 10th Avenue near Fifth Street. On June 16, a 28-year-old man was seriously injured in a crash between his motorcycle and a Mini Cooper at Griffiths and 18th Avenue – near the site of August’s fatal crash. “Police are taking this opportunity to remind motorcyclists to obey posted speed limits and always be prepared for the unexpected,” stated a Burnaby RCMP press release after the August 2018 crash. With the weather warming up, more and more mo-

torcyclists are hitting the road.They are urged to slow down and other drivers are urged to watch out for motorcycles on our roads. In a little more positive news, the BC Coroners Service highlighted some easy ways people can reduce fatalities. It just involves using some common sense. The latest data showed that a lack of restraint use, along with drug and/or alcohol involvement, were contributory factors to re-

cent motor vehicle incident deaths. The data show 314 motor vehicle deaths in British Columbia in 2018, up from 299 in 2017, yet still below the annual average of 326 per year during the past decade. One-third of the total number of deaths (34 per cent) between 2008 and the most recently available data from 2016 resulted from incidents involving drugs and/ or alcohol. Between 2011 and 2016, 29 per cent of drivers and

passengers who died were not wearing a restraint, which is defined as a seat belt or child car-seat straps. During the past 10 years, more than two-thirds (69 per cent) of those who died were male. So, to recap. Men, be smarter because a lot of you are dying on our roads. Don’t be stupid by not using a restraint. And don’t drink or do drugs if you are going to drive.

MY VIEW ASHANI MONTGOMERY

Filing a police report? Don’t do it alone If you are sexually assaulted or raped, one of your first instincts may be to go to the police. If not, the people you confide in will surely encourage you to do so. You might be swayed. Maybe you make a call to the police.The police will either come to take your statement or you will be asked to take a trip down to the Burnaby RCMP.They will take you into a clinical and sterile room, where they will ask invasive and sometimes seemingly cold questions. They will reassure you they just need to get the “full picture.” At the end the meeting, an officer might give you the card of a victim services worker, who will supposedly get you all the supports you need.You may pester them for updates and you may get a follow-up call, but, most likely, that is all you will get out of your visit.The result will be a disappointing call or email informing you that there is not enough evidence to recommend charges to the Crown. How do I know this? Two years ago, incensed by the violence that every single person in my small friend group had endured, I started volunteering at a women’s rape crisis centre.What I have described above is an amalgamation of what women have told me of their experiences reporting to police. I have run out of energy to be surprised or disappointed by what I hear. But the RCMP have not run out of fresh ways to incite my anger.This week, (a video surfaced of a Kelowna RCMP officer asking an Indigenous youth rape victim)

questions like: “Were you at all turned on during this at all? Even a little bit?” She was young and I cannot imagine the courage it took to go to a police station to report this horrific crime. Instead, this brave young woman was confronted with a condescending RCMP officer whose inappropriate and dangerous line of questioning was depicted in the audiovisual statement since released to the public. I wish she had a women’s advocate in the room with her. At our rape crisis centre, in the cases where women call us before they call police, we always offer to accompany them. We explain that often the RCMP will argue that it is better not to have an advocate in the room because she might “taint the interview.” Sometimes they will try to usher the victim away to dissuade her. But it is your inalienable right to have an advocate with you. We know how to evaluate an adequate police response. We are witnesses.We are often more knowledgeable than the average constable that probably had little sexual assault training.We recognize biased questions perpetuated by sexist myths and, most importantly, our only obligation is to you. As a resident of Burnaby and as someone who has advocated to police on behalf of countless women, I want to tell my fellow women in the community to call your local women’s group — never go alone. Ashani Montgomery is a Burnaby resident.

Lost driver gets robbed Things got scary for a Burnaby man when he strayed across 10th Avenue into NewWestminster one night.The man was driving a co-worker home to Delta at about 3:30 a.m. when he got lost and pulled his 1990 Toyota Corolla over on 10th Avenue at Sixth Street to check a map. Two men promptly jumped in, brandished a handgun and robbed the pair of their wallet and purse. After ordering the man to drive in and around various blocks, the robbers ordered him and his passenger out of the car and took off.

Opinion now Gas taxes pay for valuable transit services Editor: Re: Story on page 3, first published online Kris Sims of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation gave an impassioned plea for the various levels of government to lower taxes on gas. What Sims failed to do was suggest how this shortfall in taxes be made up. We know the taxes are part of a revenue stream used to fund transportation and other services for all those living in Canada. If the money isn’t coming from gas taxes, where does she suggest the money come from? She did acknowledge we need public transit because people use it. How does she plan to have government pay for it if there are no gas taxes? It is fine to criticize, but without offering alternatives it just seems so, useless, so political, so unthinking. E. A. Foster

Tank farm hasn’t been hit with a big quake yet Editor: Re: Trans Mountain must convince us the Burnaby tank farm is safe from a quake, NOW Letters, May 14 An Editor’s Note at the end of this letter to the editor concerning safety concerns about the Trans Mountain tank farm quotes a company spokesperson touting the company’s safety record. “In 65 years of operation, we’ve never had a storage tank fire or structural incident with one of our tanks.” That’s because there hasn’t been an earth-

quake yet on Burnaby Mountain. The whole point of earthquake preparedness is to be ready when the “Big One” strikes. Reassuring local residents all is well because nothing catastrophic has happened yet is not preparedness. It’s unacceptably dangerous, putting the lives of everyone who resides, works or studies on Burnaby Mountain at serious risk. Roslyn Hart, Burnaby

Schools should be a priority for sidewalks Editor: Just read NOW editor Chris Campbell’s “sidewalk fix” column and had a couple thoughts that came to mind that I thought I’d share. How does the City of Burnaby decide on sidewalks – adding new ones, repairing old ones, etc. Just wondering this as my kids go to Alpha secondary and after all the upgrades are just about said and done, there is still a significant stretch on Alpha that is lacking proper sidewalks. How about Aubrey, where Lochdale school is located - that is also lacking significant stretches of sidewalk. Or around Sperling school? Shouldn’t proper sidewalks around schools be a priority? Or why is Burnwood Avenue being repaired when the sidewalk is actually in decent shape? There were some sections with roots being pushed up, but seriously, it was not that bad. I feel bad for those Marine Drive residents (in South Burnaby). Seven years seems like way too long to have to wait. Do our local politicians have to wait that long to get in a round of free golf?

Lawsuit dismissed after woman alleges ‘cat trauma’ Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A woman suing a Burnaby housing co-op for “cat trauma” and other damages has lost an appeal in B.C. Supreme Court. Zdravka Curic was kicked out of the Rainbow’s End Housing Cooperative at 6088 Wilson Ave. in September 2012 after she fell $5,228 behind on her housing charges, according to court documents. Her membership had been terminated nearly eight months earlier, but Curic had refused to leave. When bailiffs arrived to carry out a court order, they found extra deadbolts had been installed inside her front door. Police had to be called in,

and the bailiffs then forced open the doors and packed up and removed Curic’s belongings. “After the RCMP officers left the scene, the plaintiff and her daughter shouted threats at the directors of the co-op.The plaintiff and her daughter also entered the co-op’s office and made threats to the staff located in the office,” states a May 1 ruling by Justice Kenneth Ball. Curic applied to the court about a month later to have the seized items returned, but her application was dismissed. Last August, she launched a $3.5-million lawsuit against Rainbow’s End for the return of the seized property and for damages, including $10,000 for

“cat trauma,” $100 for cat food, $2 million for “health damage” and $1.5 million for “accommodation.” Her claim was dismissed in November, and she appealed, but that appeal was dismissed Wednesday by Ball. He said many of the damages Curic claimed had been dismissed by the court back in 2012, and “claims, once dismissed, cannot be re-litigated.” Curic had also not provided any details about “health damage,” according to Ball, and there was no legal basis for a claim that Rainbow’s End had to provide accommodation for Curic. “The plaintiff was formerly a member of a co-op, but her membership was terminated for arrears of oc-

cupancy charges owed to the co-op, which brought to

an end her ability to occupy the housing unit,” Ball said.

He dismissed her claim without costs.

City now Hats Off Day set to return for a day of superhero-themed fun Janaya Fuller-Evans

editorial@burnabynow.com

Kids and adults alike will be donning their capes for this year’s Hats Off Day on June 1 in Burnaby Heights. The theme of the 35th annual event is superheroes, according to Isabel Kolic, executive director of the Heights Merchants Association. “We’ve already had lots of merchants and members of the public telling us how excited they are about the theme and how they’re going to pull out their Halloween costumes,” Kolic told the NOW “Kids like it too because they often do have a superhero or two in their tickle trunks.” Hats Off Day is a celebration put on by Heights businesses in honour of the area, Kolic said. “Basically Hats Off Day is a day when merchants take their hats off to the community,” she explained. “It’s

our way of hosting a party showcasing the best of our district, making people really feel the community spirit in Burnaby Heights and realize what an extraordinary and special place this neighbourhood is.” The event starts off with the Family Fun Dash at 9:30 a.m., with parents and children welcome to run the three-block course along Hastings Street from Madison to McDonald avenues. “For lots of kids it’s their first ever race, so it’s a lot of fun,” Kolic said. It is $5 for each child to participate, with the money going to the Burnaby Firefighters Charitable Society. The parade starts after that, led by the Vancouver Motorcycle and Seattle Police Drill teams.The parade lasts about an hour, after which the street party gets started. “We’re going to have lots of different bands and entertainment from Gamma

Avenue to Boundary Road,” Kolic said. “The Heights is known for its amazing food, so there’ll be tons of great food.” The Hats Off Day Show n’ Shine is back, this time with new category – electric cars. “So that’ll be fun to come check out,” Kolic said. Parking is limited, so Kolic suggests those attend-

ing take transit if at all possible. Most of the locals walk over for the event. Hats Off Day has typically been sunny, so hats, sunscreen and comfortable shoes are recommended. But those coming out to celebrate should also prepare if it’s overcast. “It never hurts to carry an umbrella,” Kolic said.

City now Heights mural gets new life

YOU STILL HAVE TIME : ) TO CLAIM YOUR EXEMPTION!

Janaya Fuller-Evans

editorial@burnabynow.com

Jacquie Rolston was an artist specializing in animation who had never painted much before, but she had a story to tell.That story came from seniors’ memories in the pages of the Burnaby NOW. The story told of a vaudeville hypnotist who had come to town in the early ’30s and put a young woman in a trance. She slept through the night in the front window of Monk’s Dry Goods Store. Rolston took the story and turned it into a large mural adorning a wall along McDonald Avenue, just off of Hastings Street. Rolston was a summer student with the Heights Business Association in 2002. “When I applied for the job, I proposed this story had to be shown,” she said. Over the years, the painting was damaged and characters were missing legs, according to Rolston. In one spot, a car had hit it and damaged one character.The Regent Theatre sign was crumbling. The association hired ArtVision Painting to repair the wall in 2018, and hired Rolston to restore the mural. She also extended it by nine metres. Renovating the mural was no small task, she said. “We had to get a scissor lift and I had to get scissor lift training. It was kind of terrifying,” Rolston said. The new portion of the mural shows a mechanic chatting while working on an old Ford, with children playing on and around the car. I wanted this green building to turn the corner,” she said of the new portion of the mural, adding it seemed right to have a car in it, and

children. “It was always clear in my mind that there would be children playing marbles at the end there.” Isabel Kolic, executive director of the Heights Merchants Association, spoke about the neighbourhood’s mural program at the reveal of the restored and extended mural. “The mural program in the Heights was designed to be eclectic, it’s not themed,” she said. “We hire fine artists, students mostly, who want to make a career in doing fine art. It’s their way of leaving a mark.” Murals cost between $5,000 and $10,000, according to Kolic. There was a ribbon cutting for the mural on Friday, May 17 with the artist and a number of local politicians and city staff in attendance. Mayor Mike Hurley was at the event, along with city councillors James Wang and Pietro Calendino, and Burnaby North MLA Janet Routledge.

City now Landlords speak up in support of donation bins Developmental Disabilities Association says bins are a win-win for its charitable efforts and for multifamily residential buildings wanting to control waste With all the controversy about the safety of donation bins after several deaths in Canada due to people falling in, one non-profit is promoting a different way – residential donation bins. Montecito Towers in North Burnaby has been a donation bin host and supporter of the Developmental Disabilities Association for over eight years. As one of approximately 40 residential bin hosts, they are talking about the beneftis of the bins – both for their own residents and for the community that DDA supports through its programs and services. Residential donation bins differ from those that are outside of local businesses due to the fact that they are often located in secured locations. At Montecito Towers, the residential donation bin is located in a secured parking

garage accessible by both of their residential buildings. “Having a donation bin on-site makes it easy. Our residents don’t need to go anywhere. A lot of the time you have to get your stuff

together, then you have to take it somewhere. Now it’s not about that. If you have a bag then you can donate it. It’s super convenient,” says

Wayne Wengrowich, property manager at Montecito Towers. “The donation bin also assists on two other things: less textiles in the landfill and donations that are going to a good cause. I think that’s important.” For rental properties and large buildings, there is also the added benefit that it can assist those residents that are moving in and moving out every month. People prefer to donate instead of throwing out unwanted items and having a residential donation bin nearby ensures that these items can be properly recycled or reused. “The donation bin saves on our garbage costs, it creates less work for our staff, and both our residents and DDA are able to gain from it.” However, options for textile recycling in multi-family buildings and complexes is

still fairly uncommon. Part of the reason is that it can be perceived as a large time investment for property managers and strata councils to set-up and maintain. Tamala Arm, assistant manager at Montecito Towers, doesn’t think this is the

case. “We hardly notice the bin. DDA has a good system where they know what to do, they use the parkade entrance to empty the bin. And if they haven’t been here before, it doesn’t take long to show them how to

get into the parkade. It is minimal effort on our part.” The DDA is looking for most bin hosts. For more information, contact 604273-4332 or clothingbins4DDA@develop.bc.ca.

What to expect when you’re prescribed a root canal and why you shouldn’t be afraid! Procrastinating in regard to maintaining teeth and gums can prove harmful. Regular dental checkups and cleanings can reduce discomfort and expose conditions before they become especially problematic. Root canal is one treatment men and women fear when going to the dentist. But root canals are often less painful than the symptoms that require they be performed. The American Dental Association says this is what people can expect during a root canal. · The tooth is numbed for comfort. · A thin sheet of latex rubber is placed over the tooth to keep it dry, and an opening is made through the crown of the tooth. · The nerve or pulp is removed. The excavated canal is then cleaned and shaped. · Medicine may be placed in the pulp chamber to deter bacterial growth. · The root canal is then filled with a rubber-like material to seal it. A metal or plastic rod or post may be placed in the canal to help retain the filling material so it can properly support the tooth. · A temporary filling is placed in the tooth. During a subsequent treatment, the temporary filling will be replaced with a permanent crown or filling. Root canals are nothing to fear. Such procedures are routine and generally produce little to no pain.

Community now School dress codes shouldn’t be about distracting teenage boys Mommy’s

GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

When it comes to implementing dress codes in schools, I agree with setting certain guidelines and encouraging students to dress appropriately for the classroom setting. What I don’t agree with is telling our daughters to stop donning certain duds because they are distracting dudes. I remember reading an article back in 2017 titled Dear principal who flagged my daughter’s dress code violation, in which a mother shares a cheeky letter aimed at her daughter’s principal on Today.com. She explained the challenges some parents face when trying to abide by the conservative codes set out by many schools. The author, Catherine Pearlman, invites the principal to take her 13-year-old

daughter – who stands fivefoot-seven-inches tall – on a shopping trip to find what has been deemed “appropriate” clothing. The important point she makes is summer clothing made available to tween and teen girls is mostly comprised of short shorts, spaghetti strap tank tops, and yoga pants.To find other options is a near-impossible feat. Add to that the picky preferences of a growing teen girl – no dresses, nothing pink, purple, or covered in frills – and you’d be strapped to find anything suitable for summer wear in school. While the author of the article makes a good point about clothing marketed to our daughters, there is a more important message shared at the end. The author concludes with a sarcastic, “P.S. I forgot to thank you for making it clear to my daughter that her body is somehow

a distraction to the boys. I thought she might have missed the message earlier in the year when the gym teacher told her she couldn’t wear yoga pants because the boys aren’t able to control themselves. I appreciate how hard you are working to drive the point home.” It’s this message that I especially don’t like.We are telling girls not to dress a certain way because it distracts the boys, when really we should be teaching them how to dress appropriately – for no one but themselves. The message shouldn’t be to dress a certain way because it causes others to act inappropriately, it should be to dress appropriately when you’re in certain situations for your own benefit. Just as you wouldn’t wear a crop top and cut-offs in a corporate boardroom meeting, the way one dresses for a classroom setting should coincide (at least somewhat) with what is being done in

class. Studies have shown that dressing for success is more than just an adage.When people dress well for work, their productivity goes up, as does their confidence. That being said, there are dress codes that are totally outdated and in need of a refresh. Boys need be brought into the conversation, too. Not only should they be taught which behaviours are and are not appropriate when it comes to how they treat girls, but there should be dress codes put in place for them as well. If we’re going to put dress codes in place, let’s do it for a purpose to praise, not to prevent perverts from pawing when they see the sight of skin or a peekaboo bra strap.

Businessnow Heights business seeks employees to learn ‘dying art’ Chris Campbell

After nearly eight years of serving the Brentwood neighbourhood, Connections Coffee House is closing. The non-profit, volunteer-run café has served affordable food and drinks at 5063 Anola Dr. since 2011 but will shut down before the end of the month. Volunteer Sue From said a dispute with the landlord has forced the closure. Connections opened with a vision of providing a community space to a rapidly densifying neighbourhood, From said. As more people moved into the area’s new highrises, they were looking for a place to meet their neighbours. From said the café was a special, welcoming place. “It’s a friendly atmosphere; it’s not like going into a Starbucks,” she said. “It’s all about community.”

Over the years, many regular customers became friends with the volunteer baristas and fellow patrons, From said. And many of them became so attached to the place, they became volunteers themselves. “We’re a listening ear for a lot of people,” From said. She said the café is unlikely to reopen somewhere else because its location is

part of what made it necessary and viable as a volunteer-run operation. Connections hosted a barbecue last weekend that was attended by some 300 people – a testament to its popularity in the community, From said. “Everyone’s sad to see it go,” she said.

When you walk into Habib Jamshidian’s shop on Hastings Street in the Heights, the first thing you smell is leather. Lots and lots of leather. Whether it’s leather shoes or leather belts, Jamshidian sells it or repairs it. It’s that last bit that is causing Jamshidian some grief. As the owner of G.A.M Shoe Repair and Retail, it’s the repairs that take the most time and effort. He cuts keys for people as well, and sharpens knives and scissors too. But it’s the art of repairing shoes that takes the most skill. It’s that skill that makes it difficult to find staff, which means he works long hours six days a week. “I can’t find anyone to learn the trade,” he said in an interview with the NOW on Friday. “They call it a dying art.That’s because new people aren’t learning

how.” Jamshidian is willing to teach somebody the art of repairing shoes, which ranges from replacing heels and soles to adding new heel tips to repairing damage to surfaces. It would take about two to five months to train a new employee depending on how fast they pick it up. And he’d do it for free. “As long as they agree to stay and work for me,” he says. Finding employees can be a difficult task for small businesses. Just a block

east of Jamshidian’s shop is Butchers Block BBQ, which told the NOW in January that it was closing its doors on Sundays – to go along with Mondays – due to an inability to find enough employees. Jamshidian says repairing footwear isn’t just a job but can become a career. “It is hard work, but you can make a good living at it,” Jamshidian says. “People always need their shoes repaired.” Jamshidian came to Canada in 1993 not knowing any English and few prospects.Through hard work, he and his brothers now run four shops – he just won the NOW’s Best of Burnaby award for shoe repair – with hopes to open more if, as he says, he can find somebody to learn the trade. “It’s basically just me,” he says. “I’m sharing this to hopefully find somebody.” If you know somebody who is interested, give him a call at 604-298-1922.

Communitynow Burnaby students tops at national science fair Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Burnaby students made up nearly half of B.C.’s contingent at the Canada-Wide Science Fair in Fredericton, NB last week – and they did not disappoint. In all, local students earned six medals, one challenge award, two youngresearcher awards and thousands of dollars in scholarships. But the Canada-Wide Science Fair isn’t just about awards, according to Burnaby North Secondary Grade 10 student Vanessa Scrimini, who teamed up with her twin sister, Claire. “The point isn’t just to go there and win a medal,” she said. “The purpose is also to meet other people from all around Canada and really get to celebrate what everyone’s accomplished.” Seventeen out of 283 students who competed at the Greater Vancouver Regional Science Fair in April earned a free trip to com-

pete in Fredericton May 11 to May 17 – eight of them were Burnaby public school students. For Claire and Vanessa Scrimini, it was the second year in a row at the competition. They began brainstorming their project, Fungi Meets Algae, last summer and took up two spare bedrooms at home growing fungi and algae to use in experiments designed to test which combination would be most effective for making biofuel. “A microalgae-fungi biofuel has significantly less C02 emissions, and production is classified as carbonneutral because the carbon dioxide that is absorbed by the algae is equal to the carbon dioxide that is released when the fuel is burned,” states a description of the project. Like all the entries, the project was evaluated by judges from universities and from the public and private sectors.

The Scriminis’ project earned a gold medal in the intermediate category and the Energy Challenge Award, along with a pair of $4,000 entrance scholarships from the University of Western Ontario. “We’re really happy about how this project turned out,” Claire said. Other intermediate medal winners at the national science fair were Alpha Secondary Grade 9 student Kyle Brent, who won silver for Metallurgy Mayhem and Moscrop Secondary Grade 10 student Wendy Fang, who earned silver for Pollen GPS. In the senior category, Burnaby North Secondary Grade 11 student Laura Wang won bronze and a CanadianYoung Researcher Award for Endotoxin’s Association with Wheeze and Atopy, while fellow North student Charley Cai, Grade 12, earned silver and a CanadianYoung Researcher Award for Chagas Disease: Decoding Vector-Based Pathogen Recognition.

aby’s science classrooms to lead to such success on the national stage? Donna Morgan, who oversees the science portfolio for the school district, said it’s a deliberate shift in approach at schools. “In years gone by, it might have been most-

ly honours’ classes participating in science fairs,” she said. “Over the last few years, our secondary science departments have made a deliberate shift to more inquiry-based learning, and science projects are a natural fit for this.That means more of our students are

getting exposed to science fairs, and that has two effects: they improve the more they do it, and just being at one can give students a bug and make them keen to strive to develop good projects. I am thrilled with the results.”

Communitynow Aubrey Elementary marks 60th anniversary Former students and teachers can take a walk down memory lane at a Friday afternoon event Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

When Joe Sadowski first stepped in front of a Burnaby classroom at Aubrey Elementary in 1962, things were a little different than they are now. Development in North Burnaby, mostly a white, working-class community, was ramping up and the Baby Boom was in full swing. His first class in the original six-classroom school had 42 students in it. “The biggest class I had was 49,” Sadowski said. “There was no teacher’s desk, no filing cabinet, nothing.There were wall-to-wall kids.” His one year of teacher training at UBC had offered a course in classroom man-

agement, including how to deliver the strap, but he preferred to rely on other resources to keep kids in line. “I didn’t seem to have too much trouble,” he said, “and it wasn’t because my physical size was dominating. I seemed to get along

That’s where a lot of your character comes from …

well with the students, most of them. I guess, bottom line is, treat others as you would like to be treated yourself.” Martin Stretton, a former student of Sadowski’s who attended Aubrey from 1961

to 1968, remembers another of Sadowki’s resources – a dry wit. Stretton remembers his former teacher dealing with a student in the schoolyard caught showing off the throwing capabilities of a new switchblade against the school wall. “As we were watching, Mr. Sadowski kind of walked out and made some sarcastic comment about how impressive his skill was and then took him into the school for detention,” Stretton said. Stretton had Sadowski for homeroom, phys ed, science and math. In those days, Sadowski said, teachers “horse-traded” classes to suit their preferences and training. Sadowski, who had a science degree and 10 years of experience working in the field, traded his music and French classes for phys ed, math and science. Students back then were regularly failed, too, he said, and forced to repeat grades. He remembers one big 15-year-old in his class of 12-year-olds. The boy dropped out but came back soon after to show off the brand new car he bought with money earned as a longshoreman. Sadowski taught at Aubrey from 1962 to 1969, before leaving to become

head teacher at Riverside Elementary School, a farm school in the Big Bend area that has long since been demolished. He retired from the Burnaby school district after 30 years. Asked what he liked best about teaching, he spoke of former students who have stayed in touch over the years. “You’re so glad that you had the opportunity to meet and work with them,” Sadowski said. “You get a reward knowing that they have been successful and that you played a part in

that.” Stretton, who looks back fondly on his time at Aubrey, said the teachers and students there had a big impact on his life. “I kind of miss those days,” he said. “That’s where a lot of your character comes from is your days in elementary school, the people you meet. Depending on how you interact then is probably how the rest of your life goes.” Sadowski and Stretton will be taking a walk down memory lane at Aubrey Friday afternoon during the

school’s annual Spring Fair. The school celebrates its 60th anniversary this year, and the theme of the fair is “Around theWorld in 60Years,” to celebrate the school’s history and diversity. Besides the usual carnival games, obstacle course, food, silent auction and other fun family activities, a special showcase of Aubrey’s history will be on display in the gym.

Fight card gives amateurs, pros a spotlight Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

They’ve coined it the Thrilla at the Villa for a reason. Boxing returns to Burnaby this Friday with a card of hearty matches, including amateur and professional pugilists entering the ring.

For promoter Dan Norman, it’s not so much about the hype as it is about the opportunity. “I’m really excited to help put this together,” said Norman, whose company Alliance Boxing Promotions has done the legwork for this eight-bout event at Burnaby’s Grand Villa Casino. “We’re all excited but nervous at

Currie still playing for the ‘fun of it’ B.C. Hall of Fame honours hoop player Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

It’s going to be a special honour and a great chance to reminisce and see some old friends. Former Burnaby resident Darlene Currie is going to soak it up as she joins an elite group of athletes and honourees at the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Thursday. Just don’t call her a former athlete. The 81-year-old Currie can talk about the old days, when she was on the Canadian women’s national basketball team that competed at three Pan-American Games, beginning in 1959, as well as her B.C. teams that won three national senior titles during the ’60s. She can also talk about her preparation for this summer’s U.S. national masters championships, where Currie is joining a San Diego-based team in the over-80 division. “When you get to that age you take anyone who’s crazy enough to come out and play,” said Currie. “The last time I played was at the masters championships on the over-75 team, and we won (the U.S. title) back in 2013.” It’s something she’s looking forward to, for all the same reasons she likes reflecting on her past accomplishments. “It’s kind of neat that something you did a long time ago is being remembered,” she said. “It was a lot of fun, too.” Currie, originally from Alberta, was a vital member of those early Pan Am teams, first as a player and later a playing coach. Canada won a bronze medal at the ’67 Games in Winnipeg with a squad that came together late in the four-year cycle, cobbling on-floor chemistry the best they could. “Canada was never a powerhouse.We were untested because we didn’t play together unless it was the Pan Am Games, just because of proximity,” she recalled.

the same time.This (Grand Villa) location is perfect as far as we’re concerned – not in the suburbs but not downtown. It’s a new venue (for boxing) altogether.” The main event features professional fighters José De Jesús Macías, with a 24-9-3 record, facing Jesús Rojas (11-6-2). “(Macías) is an experienced

boxer and Rojas has shown he’s very tough.They’re well matched,” Norman said of the potential eight-round bout. The night’s slate also includes three other pro matchups, and begins at 7 p.m. with the first of four, three-round amateur fights, starting with lone female bout betwen the Sunshine Coast’s Angela Can-

tarutti and North Van’s Nyousha Nakhjiri. “We have a lot of talent in B.C. on the amateur side but there’s not many chances to show it. That’s why we’re so happy to produce this show,” Norman said. Doors open at 7 p.m.Tickets, which start at $40, are available at https://bit.ly/2YKabvn.

Burnaby puts playoffs on the table The Lakers prepare to launch newWLA season with mix of old and new Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Fire-breathing dragons aside, the Burnaby Lakers won’t be calling on a Game Of Thronesstyle start to the Western Lacrosse Association’s 2019 regular season on Friday. Yes, they’ll embrace all the fanfare they can, and are setting sights high with the focus on returning to the playoffs. But they’ll pass on any similarities to the disappointing reviews to the popular HBO series’ final signoff. But you’ll have to tune in Saturday, 7 p.m. when Burnaby takes on the Coquitlam Adanacs at the Poirier Sports Centre, to see if there is more fire than smoke to those hopes. This year’s Lakers have a lot of the familiar names in all the right places – even in uniform weeks earlier than a year ago – with an eye of erasing the taste of last year’s disappointing 6-111, which parked them on the sidelines for the post-season. “Our first goal is to make the playoffs, then go from there.We have to focus on that goal first, just to make the playoffs. Our team has to gel, we have to work as a team and that’s what we’re working on now,” remarked Lakers general manager Kevin Hill. The likes of Robert Church, Eli McLaughlin, Dane Stevens and Eric Penney form a pretty strong nucleus of veterans who will look to set a tone early. Both Church and McLaughlin are possibles for the first weekend of the season, after the early playoff demise of their National Lacrosse League teams. The squad has also picked up some names who bring various levels of experience to the swamp. The biggest addition is former Adanac and Victoria forward Daryl Veltman, a 33-year-

old veteran who hoisted a Mann Cup in 2015 with the Shamrocks.The one-time NLL allstar spent the past few seasons in Ontario during the summer but joins the Lakers expecting to help get them back into the playoff picture, Hill said. “That should help bring more veteran leadership to our club.

Daryl was fortunate to win a Mann Cup with Victoria in 2015, and that will bring some valuable experience to our club. He’s a quality lefty and that’s going to help us out,” said the GM. Burnaby also inked Prairie products Lazlo Henning and Zack Gould, who work opposite

sides of the boards but are expected to bolster the club’s offence. Former junior scoring star Sam Clare has joined up, looking to fill a defensive role. Also returning to the fold after missing much of last season are Peter McFetridge and Matt McGrotty. Continued on page 43

Currie reﬂects Mix of old, new give Lakers hope on hoop career Continued from page 42 “We had good players but we didn’t have the competition opportunities or the numbers (other countries had) to select from.” Still, the Canadians continuously punched above their weight class and carved out an international reputation. Her transition from player to national team coach was just a natural progression, Currie said. “As far back as I can remember, I was a player-coach,” she said. “In Calgary I had a couple of coaches who were very good and gave me the basis of what I used as a coach.You just pick things up as you go along.” In 1967, while preparing for the Pan Ams, the national sports body wouldn’t buck up for new uniforms, so Currie went to Molson Brewery, which had sponsored her B.C. team, and worked out a deal. Because they weren’t permitted to have a sponsor’s name on the jersey, they agreed to display the number inside a ‘Molson’s hexagon.’ “(Molson’s) was very generous. It was something they didn’t have to do.” Currie was inducted into the Canadian Basketball Hall of Fame in ’94 and the Burnaby Sports Hall of Fame in 2013. All the accolades and sporting highlights are fantastic, she agreed, but it was never about that when she went to play, whether it be basketball or softball, which she was fairly good at, too. “It was just about having fun, and the people you’d meet and play with,” she said.

Continued from page 42 And, while Burnaby won’t have their first pick in this past spring’s junior draft, Ryland Rees, in the lineup for a few weeks, there is no doubt the squad will benefit from the two-way player’s presence when he does make his debut. “We’re expecting Ryland back for the (June 7) home opener, but we won’t see him until the first week of June,” said Hill. “He has convocation down in Stony Brook, as he graduates this year, so he’ll be attending convocation. Once he’s done that, he’s going to come up and play for us. He’s a fantastic D-transition guy and we’re excited to get him in our lineup.” Rees was recently named America East’s Defensive Player of theYear, as well as a first team conference allstar, after leading his team in ground balls and created turnovers. OK, now for the bad news. The Lakers have lost the services of some key players, mostly at transition and defence. Gone are the likes of Brine Rice, who returned to

Ontario, veteran Shaun Dhaliwal, and Burnaby native Nik Bilic, who played just six games with the club last year. “I highly doubt that Nik will be in our lineup this season,” said Hill. The team also saw both A.J. Kluck and Adam Perroni leave for greener pastures. But Hill and head coach Pete Tellis will be using those holes as a chance to introduce more youth into the lineup. “That’s why we’ve put a lot of good young players around (Rees).We have a bunch of veterans coming back, like Matt (McGrotty) and Peter (McFetridge), they’re coming back.We have a bunch of our second-year players who’ll be in there. It’s not that everything is going to fall on (Rees) shoulders.” The netminding duties have strength in numbers with returnees Penney and Zak Boychuk and 2019 draft pick Eric Kratz. “It should work out fine. The personalities of our goalies is all pretty laid back; they are all fairly mellow and get along well. Zak’s a great team

guy and he wants to take on a mentor role with Kratz and help him out anyway he can.” Just two years removed from winning the franchise’s first-ever regular season league title, the Lakers are hoping that push turns into shove come playoff time. But first things first – the start of the season offers a golden oppor-

tunity to turn the page, Hill said. “(A Mann Cup) is everybody’s goal, but first we have to get to the playoffs first. Then you’ve got a chance at the cup,” he said. Burnaby kicks off the season Saturday in Coquitlam, then heads to Langley on May 29.

Nearly $90B wiped off Lower Mainland home values in past year: report While falling home prices may be good news for those trying to get into the real estate market, they’re certainly not welcomed by the 63.7 per cent of Metro Vancouver adults who own their home. A study released May 21 found that in the past year, from April 2018 to April 2019, $89.2 billion has been wiped off the total value of residential real estate across the Lower Mainland. The study also analyzed individual municipalities to look at the average dollar amount of equity lost per household in each area, and the median percentage of equity lost. Vancouver, which has the highest number of dwellings, saw a nearly 13 per cent decrease, for a total of $43.6 billion. West Vancouver saw the highest percentage decrease, at 14.68 per cent, and the highest average dollar amount lost per household, at $451,385. However, almost half of the nearly $90 billion in losses are outside Vancouver and West Vancouver. The analysis was carried out by Paul Sullivan, senior partner at Burgess, Cawley, Sullivan & Associates Ltd., a commercial real estate and property tax appraisal firm. It was carried out on behalf of STEPUP, a group that advocates for the end of what it considers to be unfair and politically motivated taxation policy. “While the government’s goal may indeed be to bottom out the housing market in an attempt to somehow address the complex issue of affordability, they are simply removing billions of dollars from the B.C. economy, to everyone’s detriment,” said Sullivan.

BLAMING GOVERNMENT TAXES STEPUP is laying the blame for the lost equity at the provincial government’s door, saying that real estate taxes such as the school tax on $3m-plus homes and the speculation tax have caused the reduction in home values. It argued that this could have a devastating impact on those homeowners who relied on that equity for future retirement income. The group said in a news release, “Homeowners rely on the equity in their homes, usually their biggest investment, to fund things like home renovations, post-secondary education, senior care costs, and retirement. While MLAs, academics, and public sector workers rely on secure, taxpayer-funded pension plans, many British Columbians rely on the equity in their home to get them through retirement, and to leave something for their children. This equity loss leaves many seniors, who have tried to plan carefully, in jeopardy.” Many homeowners, especially those affected by the school tax on $3 million-plus homes, have protested against the recent slew of real estate taxation. “We have been taxed out of our home,” said Point Grey resident Ric Pow. “My wife and I are lifelong residents of Vancouver, and have owned and lived in Point Grey for 33 years. We have been careful with our retirement funds, and own our home mortgage-free, which has been a cornerstone of our retirement plan. Our home, along with most others in David Eby’s riding, has lost 25 per cent of its value since the NDP took power.” However, not everybody agrees that homeowners are necessarily entitled to the equity they have gained from the real estate prices rises over

www.

the past few years – not even some realtors. Vancouver agent Barry Magee said, “For someone who thinks they are entitled to 20 per cent year over year equity increases, reality will soon set in that they are not real estate geniuses, they were accidental millionaires. If you didn’t cash in your lottery ticket at the right time, or bought your ticket at the wrong time, you’ve got no one to blame but yourself.”

OBITUARIES

PATTENAUDE, Renneth Hope (nee Knudsen) Renneth Hope Pattenaude (nee Knudsen) passed away Saturday, May 18, 2019 at age 95 years in Kelowna B.C. Survived by her Son Terry Pattenaude, Grandson Michael (Jennifer), Great-grandson Caleb, Aunt Emily Aronsen and many other relatives and friends. Predeceased by husband Lawrence and parents, Stanley and Nora Knudsen. She was born December 12, 1923 in New Westminster B.C. She spent her early life growing up in New West and spending time at her grandparent’s farm across the Fraser River with her uncles and cousins sharing many happy memories. She was married to Lawrence in 1943, and raised their son Terry in New West among beloved family and lifelong friends. She cooked many suppers alongside mother Nora and aunt Emily for this close-knit group of family and friends at their weekly get togethers. Widowed at a young age in 1971, Ren was left on her own with her son Terry. Their home on 11th Avenue was a favorite spot for Terry’s friends to come due to Ren’s making it such a great place to be, as was anywhere Ren was. After Lawrence’s passing Ren went back to work after being a homemaker for many years at Woodwards Department Store in New West working on the Food Floor at the cigarette counter. She enjoyed her working time there making many more friends of whom she kept in touch long after retiring. After retirement from Woodwards she moved to Kelowna in 1990 to be closer to her son and daughter-in-law, Carol. She enjoyed happy years in her complex on Lanfranco Road participating in many activities like Canasta and suppers with her neighbours at the clubhouse. She kept busy volunteering at Kelowna General Hospital with the ladies Auxiliary into her 80’s. She also knitted and baked gifted her creations to many. Ren was a December baby and had a lifelong love of Christmas. She was known for her wonderful sharing of dinners, decorations, baking and her Christmas cards which she sent every year until this past December at age 95. To those all around her however, Ren herself was the greatest gift of all. Her love and devotion to her family and friends, generosity, warmth and unfailing kindness made her a person that was truly cherished by all around her and made friends everywhere she went. She was also a person who faced challenges and struggles over her 95 years with dignity and strength especially overcoming the multiple losses of her husband Lawrence, father Stan and uncle Roy Aronsen within a span of 18 months in 1970-1971.

QUINN, Rose Mary Rose Mary Quinn, who was born on February 1st, 1928, passed away peacefully on May 10th, 2019 at the age of 91. Rose was predeceased by her loving husband, Morris Quinn, sisters Kay Martin (Bert), Jeannie Hammill (Syd), Peggy Gordon (Ray), and brother, Alec Henter (Kay). Rose will be lovingly missed by her six children, David (Karen), Norman (Dale), Maureen (John), Jennifer (Bill), Cheryl (Stewart) and Wendy (Nilton), her 11 grandchildren, 5 greatgrandchildren and many extended family and friends. She will be remembered for her wonderful sense of humour, her gracious appreciation for family and all those who lovingly cared for her at New Vista Care Home. Rose especially enjoyed playing cards, visiting with family, singing songs and listening to music. Rose’s devotion to God was a great comfort to her at all times. Listening to verses from the bible and listening to and singing her favourite hymns provided peace and joy throughout her life and especially in her final days. A Celebration of Rose’s Life will be held on Friday, June 14th, from 2-4pm at Connaught Heights Pentecostal Assembly (2201 8th Avenue, New Westminster) followed by refreshments at the Church. Donations to Alzheimer Society Canada, will be gratefully accepted in lieu of flowers.

Due to space restrictions, there is no puzzle this issue. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Job opportunity ads are salary based and do not require an investment.
