Police and partners work to tackle crime at its roots Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Burnaby RCMP has spearheaded a new approach aimed at getting police and other agencies out of their silos and around a common table to better deal with risks to individuals, families and the community.

The Burnaby Mobiliza-

tion and Resiliency Table (BMART) has met weekly at city hall since May 23.

At the table are the RCMP, the Ministry of Children and Family Development, Fraser Health, the Burnaby school district, Progressive Housing Society, Elizabeth Fry Society, the fire department and other organizations.

They meet to deal with

situations that present an “acute elevated risk” of harm, victimization or criminality and need the attention of more than one agency.

“It’s going for the roots versus the leaves,” Chief Supt. Deanne Burleigh tells the NOW. “You can deal with a homeless individual and arrest them for petty theft or littering or loitering

over and over and over, but it’s not a policing issue now that they’re homeless, so we need other people at the table to work together.”

Once the table figures out which agencies are best suited to de-escalate or mitigate the situation, representatives are dispatched to wherever they’re needed.

“We go right to the situation – the individual, the

family, whatever it happens to be,” says Cpl. Abby Yep, Burnaby’s crime prevention and victim services liaison, who got the initiative off the ground. “If that means we have to track them down because they happen to be homeless, we’ll literally go out and find them wherever they are with those agencies.”

Assistance can come in

many forms depending on which organizations respond.

Sometimes it’s as simple as helping an individual in crisis apply for income assistance.

“Right now, it’s done online,” Burleigh says. “Well, these people whose worlds have crumbled don’t have online because they can’t Continued on page 4

Mountie returns to run local kids’ soccer camp Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The Mountie who founded Burnaby RCMP’s youth soccer camp may have moved on to another job far from Metro Vancouver, but his heart is still with Burnaby kids.

Const. Kwame Amoateng (or just “Kwame” to the kids) started the camp for kids aged four to 13 in 2017.

The first camp, at Edmonds Park, drew about 18 kids, mostly from the Hillside Gardens housing com-

plex – home to a diverse mix of families, including many newcomers and refugees.

Amoateng had gotten to know the neighbourhood during his days as a general duty officer, and he wanted to do something to build on the positive attitudes most younger kids in the neighbourhood still have toward police.

He also wanted to give them something to do while their parents were at work.

The camp was a hit, and a second was added at the Bonsor Recreation Centre

last year.

Amoateng transferred to another position outside of the Burnaby detachment earlier this year, but he flew back to run the two camps again this year – with the full support of his current and past RCMP bosses.

“Youth, for almost every police department, is a priority,” he said, “so whenever you mention something good for kids, it’s very rare they turn it down. Basically I’m here away on duty.”

The first camp ran at Bonsor from Monday to Wednesday with about 45

kids.

More than 60 kids are expected at a second camp at Edmonds Park Thursday to Saturday.

“When we started it, I didn’t expect anything like this,” Amoateng said. “I thought it would just be maybe 20 kids kicking a ball around here and there, especially the more at-risk kids. Two years later, we’ve got more than 100 kids, and they’re all getting to know each other in the community.”

The camps are free and include skills training,

snacks, lunch and demonstrations by various emergency responders, including the Burnaby Fire Department, the police dog service and the emergency response team.

“We’ve got a lot of support from the community,” Amoateng said. “The detachment’s really getting involved now and the city’s really getting involved.”

Local businesses have also gotten on board, with Men-Ed’s Pizza and Subway each donating one free day of pizzas and subs.

After finishing up the

second camp this week, Amoateng will hand over the reins of the program to Burnaby RCMP’s youth section to run next year – with fellow soccer enthusiast Const. Tulsi Reddy taking the lead.

“I think something great was started by Kwame, and I love soccer,” he said.

“When I was growing up, we didn’t have this opportunity back where I’m from in the South Pacific, so I think it’s great to get the kids all together. It’s positive for the community.”

City now Police warn about spike in catalytic converter thefts Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Burnaby RCMP is warning car owners about a spike in catalytic converter thefts like those being reported in other Lower Mainland cities.

Last week, Richmond RCMP warned of an uptick in such thefts in that city.

On Monday, Surrey RCMP charged two men in connection with a string of catalytic converter thefts there and in Vancouver.

Burnaby hasn’t been immune, according to spokesperson Cpl. Daniela Panesar.

“We are noticing it with increasing frequency in industrial areas where there

are a higher number of vans and pickup trucks,” she stated in a press release Tuesday. “Industrial areas are less populated during the evenings and weekends, when most of these thefts are occurring. This makes these areas especially vulnerable to crime.”

Panesar said the average price for a used catalytic

converter at a scrap yard is between $75 and $500, but replacing a stolen part can cost vehicle owners thousands of dollars depending on the vehicle type.

“These thefts are very costly to vehicle owners, and we would ask scrapmetal dealers to think twice before purchasing a catalytic converter from an individu-

al who is unable to explain its origins,” Panesar said.

Burnaby RCMP is urging vehicle owners to take steps to prevent the thefts: ! Install, weld and bolt a wire cage around the converter to the underside of the motor vehicle ! Have your licence plate number or VIN etched into the converter

! Install catalytic security devices (Catstrap or CatClamp) ! Park in a garage or inside a secure, well-lit, fenced area equipped with surveillance cameras Anyone with information relating to these thefts is asked to contact the Burnaby RCMP at 604-6469999.

‘When there’s nowhere else to go, police are the last resort’ Continued from page 1 afford it or don’t have the device or something else, so we bring that to them, and they’ll apply right there for them.”

Because the intervention is about assistance and not enforcement, the response has generally been positive, she says.

Burnaby’s new hub approach is based on a model pioneered in Prince Albert, Sask. in 2011 and adopted by police forces across Canada, including the Surrey RCMP in 2015.

Getting agencies to work

together to address risks in the community might seem like a no-brainer, but Burleigh says protecting people’s privacy has been a major obstacle in the past.

“An individual has a right to privacy regardless of whether they’re having negative contacts with police or they’re in a health crisis,” Burleigh says.

Prince Albert, however, developed a method to balance people’s right to privacy with the risk they present to themselves or others.

It involves four “filters.”

When a case is first

brought forward, it’s presented as a collection of risk factors – a situation with no names or other identifying information.

“A young individual has been missing school and has had several negative police contacts in the last little while, and we’ve also noticed bruising on the arms,” says Burleigh, describing a hypothetical scenario.

The table first has to decide whether the situation presents an “acute elevated risk” thus warranting further discussion by some of the agencies at the table.

In Burleigh’s example, from organizations working police, the school district in Burnaby were trained in and the Ministry the new approach of Children and this spring, and Family Developthey’ve met weekment might need ly ever since. to get involved.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Bereaved family reaches out to spread kindness

In times of tragedy, people grasp at any conceivable positive action in order to heal.

The more positive actions, the more chances that people can find their way out of unimaginable grief.

The friends and family of Olivia Malcom have tried to do just that.

The New Westminster woman was killed in Ladner on June 2, 2018 while on her way home from a lacrosse game.

Malcom was with her boyfriend and a friend

when she and the friend got out of the vehicle on the side of the road to check for something in the trunk.

Malcom died after being struck by the driver of a Jeep.

It was just days before her 20th birthday.

A 44-year-old Burnaby resident has been charged with impaired driving causing death and impaired driving over 80 (milligrams of alcohol) causing death in relation to this case.

“Olivia was taken from us without warning,” her

mother, Bridget Malcom, said in a news release issued

by RCMP. “Our next steps are to ensure that our family gets justice for Olivia and that the driver is held accountable for his actions.”

Justice is usually a long process. It took more than a year just to have charges laid. What follows will be a series of short court appearances before a trial date is set for some time long into the future. Then comes the actual trial, if the accused doesn’t plead guilty. After the trial, there could be

an appeal, either by the accused or the Crown, depending on the verdict.

If there is a guilty verdict, there is a long sentencing process.

Like we said, the road to justice takes a long time and a huge toll on the friends and family of victims. In the meantime, those friends and family have worked hard to take positive action.

Following Malcom’s death, a GoFundMe campaign raised more than $110,000 for the Olivia Malcom Kindness Bursa-

ry. The inaugural bursaries were awarded to two local students this year, and in the years ahead, the Olivia Malcom Kindness Foundation will disperse the money that’s been raised to ensure her essence of kindness and compassion carries on.

“For it to far exceed $100,000 was beyond astonishing to us,” Bridget said in June. “We had no idea that there would be such an outpouring of love towards our daughter.”

On June 10, family, friends and community

gathered outside Queen’s Park Arena to remember Olivia on what would have been her 21st birthday. A memorial bench was also unveiled.

These actions should move people to tears. But instead of just tears, we want them to move people to take another positive action.

That action? Just don’t drive when you’ve been out drinking alcohol.

It’s the one guaranteed step you can take to ensure more people don’t suffer.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Brace yourself for a vicious campaign Judging from the intense media coverage and savage partisan commentary flowing from the SNC-Lavalin scandal, you would think the federal Liberals are politically dead as a doornail.

However, evidence emerged last week that suggests that, as has been the case with so many other “scandals” at both the federal and provincial levels, the general public does not attach as much importance to them as many may think.

Three veteran, experienced and credible polling companies – Ipsos, Nanos and Abacus – all took national polls after the rather damning report by the federal ethics commissioner was made public.

Although the report skewered Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his government for their handling of the SNC-Lavalin, each poll produced a similar result. They all showed public opinion had not moved at all and that the Liberals and Conservatives were still in a dead heat for the lead amongst voters.

There is a lesson in all this, and it is this: do not assume we know what the key issue or issues will be in an election that will not be held for two months.

I have long subscribed to the view that political leaders and their images and personalities – and not so much single issues, except on the odd occasion – play an outsized role when it comes to shaping voting behaviour.

So issues aside, that’s why I think we’re going to see a nasty, vicious election

campaign that focuses less on issues and more on the perceived shortcomings of the leaders, particularly the two frontrunners.

The Conservatives under Andrew Scheer will surely try to paint Trudeau as an unethical prime minister who lacks a moral compass, and they will use the SNCLavalin issue as the main battering ram.

The Liberals, for their part, will try to portray Scheer as a weak leader beholden to unacceptable views on immigration, gay marriage and other social conservative issues. They will also try to tie Scheer to unpopular Ontario premier Doug Ford as often as possible.

The NDP’s Jagmeet Singh and Green Party Leader Elizabeth May will get far less attention from their opponents. Nevertheless, expect the NDP and the Greens to eventually spend a lot of time in the campaign attacking each other, since both are likely going to be fighting over the same ridings in B.C. and parts of the Atlantic.

Oh, issues like tax breaks, fighting climate change, ethical government, pipelines, health care, pharmacare and others will get their share of attention.

However, it is too early to say if any of those issues will become dominant.

Instead, it is safer to predict that a nasty fight is looming and it may be not so much about “issues” as about personalities and images.

Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Lamp post wreaks café havoc

Café Paparazzi in the Heights was offering “car crash specials” on ice cream in July after a truck careening down Hastings Street jumped the curb, hit a lamp post and sent it hurtling through the restaurant’s window. The pole would have been thrown straight down the street, but it hit a noparking sign in front of the café and was redirected through the window. No one was hurt, but the pole damaged a $6,000 imported Italian ice-cream chest, crushed a neon sign, cracked a tile wall, smashed an eight-foot-by-10-foot display window and melted about $300 of ice cream.

COURTS

Driver ‘significantly exaggerated’ disability in accident lawsuit: judge Judge awards $200,000 in damages rather than more than $1 million Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A B.C. Supreme Court judge has concluded a former Burnaby firefighter “was not a reliable historian of his own injuries” as he attempted to convince the court a minor car accident had rendered him incapable of working or performing basic movements, like bending over a sink or car engine.

Nicholas Brian Gee, a former lieutenant in the Burnaby Fire Department, was in court in January to sue another driver for more than $1 million for a 2014 fender bender in Coquitlam.

He said the accident had aggravated a pre-existing lower back condition and led to an unsuccessful disc surgery, chronic pain and a dependence on pain meds.

(Gee had been in seven previous car accidents since

2003 and fractured his back in an earlier workplace fall, according to court documents.)

He told the court he could no longer bend or kneel since the 2014 accident and a subsequent failed disc surgery in 2016.

He also said he could no longer hunt or fish and that his partner at home now had to do all the heavy lifting in the house and yard – “making (Gee) feel less worthy,” according to a ruling

by Justice Francesca Marzari earlier this month.

At trial, however, Gee was shown 2017 surveillance video footage of himself bending under the hood of a truck, “repeatedly and somewhat vigorously” washing a car and shovelling gravel in his backyard.

A longtime friend also testified he had accompanied Gee on a 2017 hunting trip

to Vanderhoof (a 12-to-14hour car ride) and that Gee had killed, quartered, loaded and hung up a moose in camp without his friend’s help.

Based on the testimony of the other driver in the accident, Marzari also concluded Gee had intentionally increased the damage to his car before taking it to ICBC for assessment.

A few years from early retirement in 2014, Gee has been on disability ever since, claiming his dependence on pain medication made him unfit to continue work as a full-time emergency dispatcher. But Marzari said none of the six doctors who testified thought his mental functions were impaired or that his use of pain medication was an impediment to his ability to return to work.

“I find that Mr. Gee never sought a return to work, nor

did he explore his options for a gradual return to work, including what modifications or accommodations could be made for him in terms of managing his pain and medications,” she said.

Despite finding that Gee was an “unreliable historian of his own condition or other events” who “significantly exaggerated his pain and disability,” Marzari awarded him nearly $200,000 in damages.

“I am satisfied that the accident has had a detrimental effect on Mr. Gee’s mental and physical health, that his level of back pain has increased as a result of the accident but not to the extent that he initially claimed, and that he underwent lifethreatening surgery that would not have been recommended but for the accident,” she wrote.

By Dr. Henry Esber, Ph.D. TORONTO − An exciting clinical use survey study shows that a new neuropathy cream can relieve leg and foot pain in just 15 minutes of applying.

And according to the study participants, burning, tingling, and numbness were the most common symptoms to be relieved.

The cream, called Diabasens, recently developed by scientists in the US and became an instant hit among those suffering with neuropathy. It’s finally available in Canada.

The patented formula works in minutes of contacting the skin, initiating two phenomena’s in the body.

The first phenomenon is known as vasodilation which triggers arteries to expand, improving circulation in the extremities.

The second is called TRPA1 activation and this is what really has people excited as it relieves the pain.

Research Shows Correlation Between Nerve Damage and Sensation Published research shows that neuropathy symptoms arise when the nerves in your legs and feet break down and blood flow is lost to the areas which surround them.

As the nerves begin to die, sensation is lost. This lack of sensation is a major cause of burning, tingling, and numbness.

Remarkably, Diabasens contains one of the few known substances to activate TRPA1, a special sensory pathway right below the skins surface which controls the sensitivity of nerves. It’s these nerves that allow you to feel hot, cold, and touch.

And although this pathway has been known about for years, neither a drug or a pill has been able to target it successfully. That’s why Diabasens is so impressive.

“It all comes down to sensation. When sensation is lost the foot feels constantly asleep. It may also burn and tingle. When sensation is increased, these nagging symptoms often go away”, explains Dr. Henry Esber, one of the scientists behind Diabasens.

“That’s why Diabasens performed so well in our clinical use survey study. It increases sensation and blood flow wherever it’s applied. It’s impressive to say the least”

A Brilliant Technology Most Failed to Consider Until now, many pharma companies have failed to develop a means of TRPA1 activation to fight neuropathy pain. Diabasens is one of the first to take full advantage of this amazing discovery.

“Today’s treatment methods have focused on minimizing discomfort instead of attacking its underlining cause. That’s why millions of adults are still in

excruciating pain every single day and are always battling effects” explains Esber.

“Diabasens is different. Since the most commonly reported symptoms...painful, tingling and numb legs and feet...are caused by lack of sensation of the nerves, we’ve designed the formula increase their sensitivity.“ “And since these nerves are located right below the skin, we’ve chosen to formulate it as a cream. This allows for the ingredients to get to the site faster and without any systemic side effects” he adds.

Study Finds Restoring Sensation the Key to Long Lasting Pain Relief With the conclusion of the human clinical use survey trial, the makers of Diabasens are offering it in Canada and the US. And regardless of the market, its sales are exploding.

Men and women from all over the country are eager to get their hands on the new cream and according to the results study participants reported, they should be.

In the trial above, participants taking Diabasens as needed experienced pain relief in just 15 minutes after applying! Burning, tingling and numbness were the most commonly reported symptoms to improve.

Even more impressive, when asked if this was the best product they used for their legs and feet, 90% gave a resounding “Yes” with all participants raving they would absolutely recommend it to someone else.

Diabasens is a major breakthrough for neuropathy pain.

Its daily use can result in relief from...

• Pain • Numbness • Tingling • Swelling • Poor Balance

Targets Nerves Right Below the Skins Surface Diabasens is a topical cream that is to be applied directly the legs and feet. It does not require a prescription in the US or Canada.

The active ingredient is extracted from cinnamon bark.

Studies show that neuropathy pain is often caused when peripheral nerves breakdown and blood is unable to circulate into your legs and feet.

As these nerves deteriorate, sensation is lost.

This is why you may not feel hot or cold and your legs and feet may burn, tingle and go numb. Worse, without proper blood flow, tissues and cells in these areas begin to die, causing pain that seems to never go away.

A NEW WEAPON FOR FIGHTING NEUROPATHY PAIN: applied. It’s now being used to relieve burning, tingling, numbness and other kinds of leg and foot pain.

The extract in Diabasens is one of very few compounds that can activate TRPA1, a special sensory pathway that runs through your entire body.

According to published research, activating this pathway increases the sensitivity of nerves, relieving feelings of tingling and numbness in your legs and feet.

According to published research, activating this pathway increases the sensitivity of nerves, relieving feelings of tingling and numbness in your legs and feet.

Supporting ingredients boost blood flow, support cellular health and stimulate the nerves for increased sensation.

Amazing Relief Exactly Where You Need It With daily use, Diabasens users report remarkable improvements in their quality of life and pain levels without of the serious side effects or interactions associated with prescription drugs.

Readers can now enjoy an entirely new level of comfort that’s both safe and affordable.

29TH ANNUAL SALUTE TO LABOUR UNIONS A MESSAGE FROM THE B.C. FEDERATION OF LABOUR

B.C. has made great strides for workers’ rights Laird Cronk

contributing writer

It might not be the chatter at your Labour Day barbecue, but make no mistake: 2019 was a remarkable year of progress for workers and their families in B.C. Let me explain.

It starts with economic security. Tens of thousands of low-wage workers, the majority of whom are women, are now feeling the benefit of the NDP government’s boost to the minimum wage. The rate increased to $13.85 per hour on June 1st and is set to go up further to $14.60 and then $15.20 over the next two years, where it will then be the highest in the country.

We know that even with these increases, low-wage workers are still struggling with affordability. That’s why we’re looking forward to the government-appointed Fair Wages Commission’s recommendations on

how to further close the gap between living wages and the minimum wage in B.C. It garnered few headlines, but the spring legislative session saw the NDP government make the first significant updates in decades to B.C.’s Employment Standards Act (ESA) and Labour Relations Code (LRC) as well as the introduction of a Temporary Foreign Worker Protection Act. The improvements, long overdue after decades of deliberate neglect from the B.C. Liberals, are substantial and worth understanding.

First off, action was taken to protect some of B.C.’s most vulnerable workers.

The age children can work in hazardous jobs, for example, was raised from 12 to 16. After a decade of ghastly workplace injury claims from minors, totalling over $5 million, the change was a must.

The exploitation of migrant workers is a significant

and ongoing human rights issue in B.C. These workers often face low wages, limited benefits and indebtedness to unscrupulous recruiters Thankfully, the B.C. government introduced new licensing requirements and a registry for recruiters that migrant workers and advocates believe will deter rampant employment standards abuses.

Second, updates to the ESA are set to rebalance power between employees and bad employers. For example, the recent changes eliminated the requirement for workers to fill out their own “self-help kits” when pursuing an employment standards violation. The discredited kits required workers to fill out complaints with their employer, jeopardizing the job security of the worker.

The ESA updates also crack down on the ability of employers to steal tips from their workers, an egregious

practice that many workers ty and non-medical health in the service, delivery and care work. By ending this hospitality sectors have had practice, thousands of lowto deal with.

Due to puzzling opposition from the B.C. Green Party, the unfair requirement for a second vote to certify a union remains. The government did, however, shorten the timeframe before the required second vote to help combat employer interference.

Taken together, these myriad changes stand to make a tangible difference in the lives of countless British Columbians in every corner of the province. Of course, there is much left to do. Growing insecure work, a dysfunctional workers’ compensation system and pending job losses due to mismanaged forestry policy by the B.C. Liberals come to mind.

Despite the challenges ahead, today we celebrate the remarkable advancements for workers this year in B.C. Laird Cronk is the president of the B.C. Federation of Labour.

29TH ANNUAL SALUTE TO LABOUR UNIONS A MESSAGE FROM THE BCGEU

Labour Day has special meaning for working people Stephanie Smith contributing writer

Like thousands of labour activists, I’ll spend the first Monday in September surrounded by my family – my labour family. It’s a family I’ve been a part of since I first joined a union as a child-care worker more than 30 years ago. It’s a family I cherish.

Labour Day 2019 is special for me and every member of the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union (BCGEU) because this is our centennial year.

The Provincial Civil Service Association of B.C. opened its first convention on July 26, 1919 in Vancouver’s Eagle Hall. That convention was attended by 37 delegates representing a total membership of 980 – all of whom worked directly for the provincial government.

What a difference a century makes.

The BCGEU’s membership is now over 80,000

strong and growing. And, while we still proudly represent tens of thousands of provincial government workers, well over half of our members work outside government in the broader public service and the private sector.

The workers of tomorrow are counting on us to come through for them

But one critical thing hasn’t changed.

One hundred years ago, those convention delegates and the workers they represented came together because they shared values – values like dignity and respect; equality and fairness; opportunity and security –

nd they knew that by working together in solidarity they could bring those values to life in their workplaces and their communities.

One hundred years later, those values are still the foundation for everything the BCGEU stands for and fights for.

Labour Day 2019 is a chance for BCGEU members to celebrate those values and what we’ve achieved because of them. It’s also a chance for us to acknowledge how far we still have to go to create a society where those values are a reality for all working people.

Unions are under attack across the world and in our own country; the cost of necessities like transportation and housing continues to grow faster than wages; and, we continue to see a shift from family-supporting fulltime jobs to part-time, more precarious employment.

The workers of tomorrow are counting on us to come

through for them as our predecessors did for us. And this Labour Day I’m full of optimism for what we can achieve together.

So, what can you do? ! There is a lot at stake in the upcoming federal election. Get the facts about when, where and how to vote. Then do your research and support candidates who are tackling issues that matter to working people – like living wages, job security, affordability, the environment and protecting public services. ! Support working people in your community by making sure the businesses and corporations you deal with every day reflect your values. ! Join a union. Visit the BCGEU’s website to find out how joining a union could benefit you and your co-workers.

Unions go to bat for non-union workers, too Five former pizza workers receive money after Employment Standards Branch ruling Unifor is proving that unions are just as valuable to non-union workers being exploited in the restaurant and hospitality sector.

Five former workers at a Domino’s franchise have recently received a total of $10,486 after the B.C. Employment Standards Branch ruled the local owner was under-paying staff.

“This is the tip of the iceberg. Wage theft is often a fact of life for precarious workers,” said Jerry Dias, Unifor national president. “By making it easier to join a union and fighting for stronger employment standards, workers can end this exploitation once and for all.”

When the complaint was first filed in 2017 and Unifor became involved, the employer (Georgia Pizza Inc.) voluntarily paid

$8,942 to settle the complaints. Unifor and the workers determined the amount was insufficient and continued with the case. Earlier this summer, the Employment Standards

This is the tip of the iceberg Branch found in favour of the five workers and awarded another $1,544 in wages.

In addition to the unpaid wages, the branch also took the unusual step of fining the employer $2,500 for being in contravention of the following five sections of the B.C. Employment Standards Act: * Wages (section 16 of the

act) * Overtime (section 40 of the act) * Statutory holiday pay (section 45 of the act) * Statutory holiday pay (section 46 of the act) * Annual vacation pay (section 58 of the act) “This workplace and hundreds of others like it are examples of why we need higher union density and regulations that actively protect workers. All workers have a right to the minimum standards in B.C.’s ESA, and Unifor will fight for those rights,” said Gavin McGarrigle, Unifor’s western regional director. “For more than a decade under the B.C. Liberals, regulations were rarely enforced and the deck was stacked against workers.”

A MESSAGE FROM CUPE BC

The origins of Labour Day Paul Faoro

contributing writer

While we all look forward to the Labour Day weekend and think of it as the “final weekend of summer,” I think it’s important to take some time to remember the origins of this holiday that celebrates the contributions of working people.

Labour Day didn’t begin as a national holiday – it began in 1872 as an illegal protest in support of workers striking for a 58-hour (!) work week. It led to the mass arrests of union leaders, which in turn sparked ongoing protests that eventually convinced the government of Prime Minister John A. Macdonald to overturn the “barbarous” laws of the day and make union organizing legal in Canada.

Like so many gains for working people, Labour Day wasn’t “given” to workers; it was demanded by workers and it was won

through protest, activism and, above all, solidarity.

The role of the trade union movement in advancing workers’ rights and working conditions is rarely taught in schools, and I think that’s a real shame.

If you don’t know where you come from, it’s hard to know how much further you have to go, and how much more work there is yet to do.

For those who question the need for unions, I say this: there will always be politicians who seek to gain power by dividing society and hacking away at rights to provide payback to the wealthy and well-connected. Just look at what’s happening in Ontario and Alberta as radical right-wing so-called “populist” politicians slash and burn services and working conditions to pay for tax cuts for the rich. It’s only the collective power of workers and their unions that can slow or

even stop faux-populists like Doug Ford and Jason Kenney from doing the bidding of their corporate backers.

While it’s already been two years since workers in B.C. happily watched the disastrous B.C. Liberal era come to an end, we know all too well the damage caused by 16 years of right-wing premiers attacking working people rather than working with us. It’s remarkable how much progress the B.C. NDP government of Premier John Horgan has made to undo much of the damage the Campbell and Clark governments did to our province.

And, thanks in large part to the activism and support of working people, the Horgan government has made great strides in making life better and more affordable.

Here’s just a few examples of how: scrapping unfair tolls, introducing quality affordable child care, Continued on page 21

Did you know? Quick facts and quotes about Labour Day In Canada, Labour Day was the result of an 1886 Royal Commission that looked at ways to ease conflicts between labour and capital.

It was a difficult time for workers. Unions had only been legal for 15 years, it was common for workers to spend 12 hours a day, six days a week doing their job. The commission made many recommendations that would have improved worker safety and reduced workplace fatalities, but the proclamation of a new holi-

day to honour workers was the only one accepted. !

NEW WESTMINSTER AND DISTRICT LABOUR COUNCIL

Dignity and Justice A Voice in the Work Place These are the principles on which organized labour was founded.

Everyone’s invited to the annual Labour Day picnic On Sept. 2, Canada’s unions will celebrate the social and economic achievements of workers, while calling for a fair Canada for everyone in the upcoming federal election – and there’s food and fun involved.

Labour Day is a tribute to the contributions working people have made to the strength, economic prosperity, and well-being of the country, notes a press release from the New Westminster and District Labour Council.

The labour council, representing 60,000 union members from 100 union locals in 14 Lower Mainland communities, is holding a family-friendly picnic at Holland Park in Surrey on Monday, Sept. 2 from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Union members, families, friends and community members are all invited to mark the day.

This is a free event with food, live music and performances, booths, children’s games and activities.

The labour council will welcome Harry Bains, British Columbia’s minister of labour, as the featured speaker this year.

There has been strong progress made for B.C. workers in the last two years.

“There has been strong progress made for B.C. workers in the last two years,” said New Westminster and District Labour Council secretary-treasurer Janet Andrews in the release. “lncreases to the min-

The Canadian Labour Congress, Canada’s national voice for working people, is also highlighting ballot box issues this Labour Day, calling on voters to support federal candidates who will support bold ideas like universal pharmacare and retirement security, and who will prioritize good jobs, a clean environment, and equity and inclusion.

Communitynow Kids and parents shouldn’t be separated on flights Mommy’s GROUNDED Bianca Bujan

I’ll never forget the first time my family went on a trip abroad – or more specifically, the journey to get to our final destination.

At the time, my two older kids were just five and two years old, and we were flying to Mexico. While we were waiting at the airport, my youngest threw up all over the floor, completely out of the blue.

Trying to keep my toddler at bay, I scanned our tickets to determine our seat group, and at that moment, I noticed that our seats were not together. My two-yearold had been assigned a seat that was located on the other end of the plane from the rest of our family.

Convinced that a mistake had been made, I approached the counter and asked to have our seats switched so that I could sit with my sick child. The woman behind the counter explained that I should have reserved our seats before we

No-brainer: Seating parents and kids together on flights just makes sense, and it shouldn’t cost families extra. PHOTO ISTOCK

arrived, and that the plane was full and she was unable to reassign seats at that time.

Angry, I boarded the plane and sat in my seat with my toddler on my lap, holding the barf bag as he puked while asking the people around me if they were open to switch seats with my child. No one was willing to budge, so I spent the entire flight holding my heaving son on my lap.

Nowadays with many airlines, if you want to select your seats in advance of your flight, you’re required to pay anywhere between

$20-$100 per seat.

According to a recent article shared in Today’s Parent (titled “Can airlines really seat a kid away from their parents?”), airlines are assigning seats to passengers randomly, regardless of whether or not their travel partners are minors. “Stories like this of parents being separated from their kids on Canadian flights – and air carriers washing their hands of responsibility to keep families together – are all too common,” the story reads.

Had I known that my

child would not be seated with me when I had booked our flight on that fateful first trip, I would have paid the premium for the promise of side-by-side seats, but is it fair to ask families to pay such a hefty fee?

Children are required to be at least 12 years old to fly alone, unaccompanied by an adult, yet airlines are assigning children of all ages to solo seats. This is not right.

Currently, there are no national guidelines set on how Canadian airlines should deal with seating children on flights, but this is expected to change as of December 2019, when Phase 2 of the federal government’s Air Passenger Protection Regulations is to come into effect.

But while these updated regulations require airlines to help seat parents close to their child at no cost – the proximity to their parents being dependent on the age of the child – it does not require the airlines to act on those guidelines. If a child is not able to receive an assigned seat at or be-

fore check-in, the flight attendant will be required to ask for volunteers to switch seats, and if no one steps up, they are not required to make them move.

While I’m somewhat satisfied to hear that a change is coming, I don’t feel confident that the upcoming changes are going to be

Artsnow Burnaby artist’s work on display in Vancouver show A Burnaby South Secondary grad has a new art exhibition coming up at Hycroft Gallery in Vancouver.

The University Women’s Club of Vancouver is hosting The Edge, featuring art

by Karissa Narukami, from Wednesday, Sept. 4 to Monday, Sept. 30.

Narukami, who was diagnosed at two years old with moderate to severe autism spectrum disorder, began art at an early age.

“Karissa’s talent was discovered at the ripe age of three by her parents when passing by a carnival on their way home,” says a write-up about the show.

“Karissa recreated the carnival on paper with amazing accuracy of the setting.

From that point on, her parents knew that she was gifted with a topographic memory.”

Narukami has explored drawing, painting and sculpting, creating detailed images with innumerable lines. The Edge includes her

work in watercolour and ink.

Margaret Peterson, a visual arts teacher at Burnaby South, said Narukami is “an extremely naturally gifted artist who possesses tremendous natural drawing ability.”

“Her characters are all original and reflect her incredible ability to synthesize materials she is taught, with her own personal way of seeing the world,” Peterson

said in the write-up.

The University Women’s Club of Vancouver Hycroft Gallery is at 1489 McRae Ave. in Vancouver. An opening reception is being held Wednesday, Sept. 4 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. It’s free, and everyone is welcome.

Artsnow Families can make art together this fall in Burnaby Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

Yes, fall is approaching, and that means parents are looking for new activities and programs for fall.

No doubt you’ve already signed the kids up for a variety of sports, arts and other after-school activities, but what about things you can do together as a family? Here are five ideas for all the creatively inclined kids and grown-ups out there: IN THE BAG The Burnaby Art Gallery offers this regular series of family studio drop-ins, once a month on Sunday afternoons between 1 and 4 p.m.

Each month features a different project connected to the ongoing gallery exhibitions, so families can check out the work on display and then get into the gallery for a family-friendly project of their own.

This fall, in connection with Saints, Sinners and Souvenirs: Italian Masterworks on Paper (running

Sept. 13 to Nov. 17), families can drop in for one of three sessions: Sept. 15 – Drawing From History; Oct. 20 – Printing the Present; Nov. 17 – Collecting Memories.

The gallery is at 6344 Deer Lake Ave. See www. burnabyartgallery.ca or call 604-297-4422.

FAMILY ART CLASSES The City of Burnaby offers extensive arts and cultural programming, including some art courses designed especially for families so kids and parents can take part together.

There’s a Family Artworks course at the Shadbolt Centre (for kids aged five and up, with adults) on Saturdays starting Sept. 21.

For younger children, there’s A is for Art, F is for Family, for two-and-a-halfto four-year-olds and their grown-ups, which will give everyone a chance to try out painting, drawing, clay and collage. It’s on Sundays at Edmonds Community Centre starting Sept.

Pick up a fall Leisure Guide for full details or register online at www.burnaby. ca/webreg.

REVISION: THE ART OF RECYCLING ReVision: the art of recycling is an upcoming exhibition at Deer Lake Gallery, featuring the work of a group of artists who are making their art out of a variety of “upcycled” waste and discarded materials.

Along the way, there are a series of special events – including Oct. 5 workshops

ing art from waste plastics, an Oct. 19 “Found Sound” drum circle featuring found objects, and an Oct. 20 workshop on making “EcoTrashion.” A special closing event on Oct. 26 will feature an Eco-Trashion show and “Bad Art” sale.

work created from upcycled waste, the downstairs will be turned over to the Bad Art exhibition.

The Bad Art will be available for viewing until Oct. 26; you can buy pieces at any time during the exhibition and then pick it up at the closing night even, Oct. 26 from 7 to 9 p.m.

And what, may you ask, is bad art?

“Art that is too bad to be ignored!” the arts council explains in a write-up about the show. “Let’s celebrate bad art in all its forms.

Sometimes an artist takes two or three attempts that ends up being gorgeous, but it is the artwork created in between that we want.

We are looking for a range of work from talented and maybe not so talented artists that may have gone awry.”

Do you have artwork stored somewhere that no longer brings you joy?

Maybe you painted it and now you’re less than proud of it. Or maybe it was passed on from Grandma’s attic. Or maybe you found it at a thrift store once and thought it was cool for five minutes before you realized it was just plain ugly.

Whatever the reason, the Burnaby Arts Council has the solution: Marie Kondo your art collection and bring your rejects to the Bad Art Sale.

The arts council is accepting donations of “bad art” for an upcoming exhibition and sale that will coincide with its ReVision: the art of recycling exhibition from Sept. 21 to Oct. 26. While the ReVision exhibition in the main gallery will feature a variety of art-

Artsnow You’re invited to try Scottish country dancing Don’t let the name fool you:You don’t have to trace your ancestors back to the Highlands to enjoy Scottish country dancing.

Burnaby’s Scottish Country Dance Club is issuing a call for new members as it gets ready to launch its new season.

The club meets from September to April on Monday evenings at the Scandinavian Community Centre, 6540 Thomas St. New members don’t need to be Scottish, and they don’t need to have a partner, since dancers interact in a group.

A press release from the club notes that Scottish country dancing offers almost endless variety.

“While some forms of social dance preserve the traditions of the past, and others give scope to new invention, Scottish country dancing does both,” the release says.

Its basic patterns – chains, circles and turns – date back some 500 years, when dancing masters travelled

through Scotland with their fiddles under their arms and taught dances to old and young.

Nearly 100 years ago, as Scots moved into bigger cities and country dancing was on the decline, two women (Ysobel Stewart and Jean Milligan) made it their mission to keep the dance form alive. They collected dances, published books and trained teachers, and, as Scots emigrated around the world, they took their dancing with them.

In more recent years, Scottish dance groups have

sprung up in Europe, Russia and Japan.

As a result, the dance form has developed, with variations on the basic patterns and thousands of new dances devised and published – all with the lively beat of Scottish reels, jigs and the strathspey.

“Scottish country dancing does wonders for both the mind and body,” the press release says. “The workout strengthens hearts and lungs, and the precise movements keep joints and muscles flexible. The brain, too, must stay agile: danc-

Traditions: The Burnaby Scottish Country Dance Club is inviting new people to join in the fun for the 2019/20 season. The group meets Monday evenings starting Sept. 16. PHOTOS CONTRIBUTED

ers constantly change positions in the set and the sequence of movements must be memorized.”

Never fear: the club offers instructions on the steps and patterns, so newcomers are welcome.

Interested volunteers

from the club can also join an entertainment team, which travels to community events, retirement homes and hospitals for performances.

The new dancing year begins on Monday, Sept. 16, 7 to 9:30 p.m. New mem-

bers can try out the first two classes as a free trial.

More care options coming thanks to new legislation People in assisted living residences, including supportive recovery homes, will have access to more care options and added protection as amendments to the Community Care and Assisted Living Act come into force.

Effective Dec. 1, 2019, these changes and new regulations will give seniors, people living with disabilities and community-care clients, as well as people living in supportive recovery homes, the flexibility to stay in their community, while ensuring that they get the quality of care they need.

“Many seniors in the past have had to make the difficult decision to leave their assisted living residence, which is their home, due to previous restrictions,” said Health Minister Adrian Dix in a press release. “That’s why we are empowering seniors and people living with disabilities with more independence to make choices about where and how they

live and receive care.”

Assisted living is a semiindependent type of housing that provides extra supports to help with activities of daily living, such as meals, recreation, medication management and psychosocial supports. It provides residents, many of whom are seniors, adults requiring support in their recovery or people living with disabilities, the choice to live independently in a homelike setting. Accommodations in these programs range from private rooms in a home to suites in an apartment-style building.

The amendments address the challenges of being transferred to long-term care sooner than necessary because of the existing rules which limit assisted living residences to providing no more than two of the following prescribed services: assistance with the activities of daily living, managing medication, provision of and monitoring therapeutic di-

Celebrating Seniors Feed your need to know

ets, behaviour management, psychosocial supports, and safekeeping of money and personal property.

As a result, seniors who required more than two prescribed services were unable to continue living in assisted living residences, even though they may have been safe and may not have needed the more intensive care provided by long-term care homes. The amendment removes this restriction, creating more choices and opportunities for seniors to exercise their independence.

The changes also increase regulatory oversight for assisted living residences. Through these amendments, the province will have enhanced oversight powers to ensure the health and safety of residents, including the ability to conduct routine and monitoring inspections and to take action where there is an immediate risk to the health or safety of a resident.

Celebrating Seniors

Online tool helps seniors find the care they need EngAge BC, an operating arm of BC Care Providers Association, has launched Route 65, an online tool that helps match older adults and their family members with B.C. operators of independent living, assisted living, long-term and home health care services.

“Countless calls from frustrated seniors and their concerned family members over the years signalled that there was a major flaw in the current system,” said EngAge BC CEO Daniel Fontaine. “Not every senior has access to my direct phone line, nor should they need it in order to better navigate the system.”

For those seeking longterm care, the launch of Route 65 is timely. Changes to the access policy that were announced by the Ministry of Health in July will mean that seniors will no longer be required to take the first available bed offered to them. Now with more choice, they can find

available spaces with a click of a mouse or a swipe on their smart phone.

Route 65 is accessible on all mobile devices and personal computers, and will help seniors and their family members make their own choice for housing or care services. Site users can also

Older adults can confidently browse for their housing and wellness needs

choose from a wide range of reputable home health operators for those who are looking to stay at home for as long as possible.

“Older adults can confidently browse for their housing and wellness needs without having to visit multiple websites,” says Fontaine. “Plus, each of the op-

erators listed on Route 65 must sign on to our enhanced Code of Ethics for service delivery.”

Route 65’s target audience also includes family caregivers—particularly those in the “sandwich generation” who are juggling the needs of their immediate family as well as aging parents.

New Westminster resident Hedy O’Connor, 60, retired early to keep up with her responsibilities as a mother as well as a caregiver to her parents. When the time came to find care for her parents, she felt the system let her down.

“Searching for appropriate care for my elderly parents was like navigating a maze of bureaucracy,” says O’Connor. “Locating options is particularly frustrating for people on a limited income, or for those who want to find ways to keep family members together.”

O’Connor’s parents – who have been married for six decades – ended up

in two separate sites despite her best efforts to keep them close.

“If my parents ever visit each other, it’s only because I drive my mother over to see my father,” adds O’Connor. “I wish I had Route 65 to help guide me through the process, and provide support and infor-

mation about the options that are available.”

Route 65’s mobile-friendly website allows visitors to search for seniors living and wellness options in a desired location. Visitors can get a visual tour of a site, and view the number of vacancies, the languages spoken, whether it is LGBTQ2+

inclusive, and learn what hospitality and health care services are available. Additional features include a 24hour chat bot and a dedicated toll-free customer service helpline which will be open during regular business hours.

Competitive edge: At left, Mary Hatch concentrates on the ball during a ping pong match. At right, Rudy Nobauer serves against his daughter. The games were played as part of a pin pong tournament at Normanna care home earlier this month. The table, adapted to accommodate the seniors’ abilities, has been a big hit at the care home. PHOTOS KELVIN GAWLEY

Ping pong players face off in Normanna tourney Residents of Normanna seniors home gathered on the patio earlier this month to watch the blue team take on the pink team in a ping pong tournament.

The second tournament in as many months saw blue team pair Maria Uzelac and

It’s amazing to see the residents come to life ...

Carlos Deleone defending their championship crown.

Ulezac, 88, was so excited about the tournament, she called her daughter Ann the day before to ensure she would be there.

“I didn’t know she was so good,” Ann said, after watching her mother domi-

nate a match.

Ulezac, originally from Croatia, has thrived in the 10 years she’s lived at Normanna, Ann said. Whether she’s painting, playing games or making arts and crafts, there’s never a dull moment, she said.

“She’s been through so much in her life – had cancer three times, two strokes, heart attacks and all this kind of stuff – but she’s been here 10 years and look at her. She’s really a fighter.”

Normanna’s recreation manager, Leslie Torresan, said the ping pong table has been a hit since it was introduced to residents a few months ago.

“We just thought it’s amazing to see the residents come to life when they’re playing the ping pong,” she said. “And it doesn’t matter if they have a disability or a language barrier (or) cultural barrier – everyone comes together and plays.”

Torresan said Normanna staff have adapted the game to residents’ abilities, including removing the net from the centre and adding nets

to the table’s sides to keep the ball in play.

Another competitor, Rudy Nobauer, leaves his walker behind when he

steps up to the table. The former racquetball player instead wears a transfer belt, which two staff members hold to keep him from

falling.

Nobauer “shocked” staff and fellow residents with his moves when he first started playing, Torresan said.

See the work of the masters Prints and drawings from Italian masters will be on display at Burnaby Art Gallery this fall.

Saints, Sinners and Souvenirs: Italian Masterworks on Paper is on at the gallery from Friday, Sept. 13 to Sunday, Nov. 17, with an opening reception on Thursday, Sept. 12 from 7 to 9 p.m.

The exhibition will draw together works from Vancouver-area public and private collections, dating from the Renaissance up to the late 18th century. It’s the first exhibition of its kind in Metro Vancouver in more than 30 years.

It’s running along with a complementary exhibition of early printed books from the Wosk-McDonald Aldine Collection, from Simon Fraser University Library’s

special collections.

“Both of these exhibitions explore Italy’s long creative history and the significance it plays at the roots of the modern world,” said guest curator Hilary Letwin in a press release.

As the release notes, Saints, Sinners and Souvenirs celebrates “the dissemination of ideas and the people who fuel it.”

Throughout most of history, the release notes, books were handwritten before being printed and most works of art started as sketches, representing ideas. But those ideas would amount to little without the work of a publisher to turn the idea into a print or a book.

“Once transformed into portable objects, ideas are passed easily and shared

widely by networks of people across vast geographical areas,” the release says.

This Is Where and the One A perspective by Lawrence Verigin

Mercedes-Benz Boundary offers a luxe shopping experience

I’d done my research — I know the model I want. There are a few local dealerships that have the vehicle within the two model years that I’m interested in. I chose to come to the Mercedes-Benz Boundary location first, because I know people who bought cars here and they’ve said nothing but good things about their experience.

The glass entry doors slid open. I stepped into the expansive showroom and took in the rows of polished vehicles – vans at one end, sedans at the other. In the middle were a number of performance cars that I didn’t want to consider until my mid-life crisis (or when business went really, really well).

A young woman with a pleasant look and “Jennifer” on her name tag greeted me.

“I have an appointment with Adrian Bouchard.” I was given the name of the Pre-Owned Manager by a client who’d bought cars here and had set the meeting up.

“Would you like a latté, cappuccino or anything to drink?”

Jennifer asked.

Before I could respond, a tall man in a black suit walked up to me, arm extended. “So you’re a friend of Carol’s?”

Mercedes-Benz Boundary

“Client, actually.” I shook his hand. “Good to meet you, Adrian.”

I stood in front of the three-storey glass-fronted building and looked up at the large white Mercedes-Benz logo that seemed to float in the sky. I’d wanted a Mercedes-Benz ever since my dad let me drive his 450SL when I was a teenager.

“I have a few models out front for you.” Adrian escorted me back outside.

Thoughts barraged my mind. Is this the best use of my money?

I’ve worked hard and will continue to, so I deserve a reward.

I could get by with another utilitarian car like I have now. No, treat yourself. My wife couldn’t make it today, but said to get it if I found one I liked. I was happy to be alone, because I’d get to make the decision; she always wanted white and I wanted dark for a change. Why don’t I wait until we can pay cash and not have to make payments … like we’re ever going to have that money just laying around?

did. It was comforting to work with someone who really knew their stuff.

I sat in the one I’d come to see and it looked and felt great. I had always loved the lines of that model.

Then I positioned myself inside the newer one. It was hard to explain, but I had a feeling of it being mine and imagined what trips would be like in it. I melted into the black leather seat. The controls were right where they needed to be; I was in a cockpit ready for take-off. The panorama roof, 360 degree cameras, blue light accents, all had the Mercedes style.

Starting the turbo four cylinder was a press of a button, but I couldn’t tell if the engine was lit, except for the indicators – it was so quiet. It wasn’t until I tapped the gas that the purr could be heard.

Adrian was going to guide me on a test drive. But that was just a technicality.

Yes, this is the exact car I want and where I want to buy it from.

I couldn’t help but smile.

“This place is massive,” I said, as we walked.

“Largest Mercedes-Benz dealership in Canada.” He had a proud smile.

We stopped in front of two GLC 300 SUVs that he’d brought out specifically for me.

Pre-Owned Sales Manager, Adrien Bouchard

“This one…” He indicated with his right hand, “is the one you were inquiring about. This one…” Pointing with his left, “is two years newer and has fewer kilometers.”

Mercedes-Benz Boundary may be a large facility, but focuses on a personalized experience. Go to: Mercedes-benz-boundary. ca; phone: 604-639-3300 or come visit them at: 3550 Lougheed Highway, Vancouver, to find the right new Mercedes-Benz or luxury/performance pre-owned vehicle for you.

I examined them both, while he gave me a list of features. Adrian was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and obviously good at what he

“I learned so much about New West as I ran it, such as how good some of the donair shops are and how peaceful some of the neighbourhoods feel. Seeing the beautifully kept heritage homes made the runs so much more interesting and eye-opening,” he said, add-

ing that he’s “definitely inclined” to move to the city one day.

He added that he likely won’t stop at running New West – he’ll likely start running Burnaby at some point, but he said that city “won’t have the same density of cool things and places, though.”

dgodfrey@newwestrecord.ca

Between 66 running sessions, one Burnaby man has covered 299.8 kilometres, running every street in New Westminster.

Duran Cheung said he was inspired by friends who were trying to run the cities they lived in (Port Coquitlam and Vancouver) after they showed him the CityStrides website, which logs all the places a person has jogged.

“I thought it would be a good challenge to run a city of my own, so I chose New Westminster, which I live very close to,” said Cheung in an email.

“New West isn’t too big, but still a sizable city to cover. I always loved the beautiful views, parks, homes and historical buildings of the city, and I thought it would be neat to experience every inch of every street – to be able to say I’ve seen it all and have been everywhere in the city.”

He added that the goal of running every street in New West boosted his motivation to run, saying that running is a “chore” for him, and he doesn’t like to run the same route all the time.

“I love exploring. I also knew from the CityStrides website that nobody had run all of New West yet, so being competitive, I was kinda motivated to be the first (that I knew of)!” he said, adding that Cumberland Street and Royal Avenue were the toughest.

“There were tons of other steep streets, but they felt shorter than those two. I was definitely a little slow to run those hills!”

By running around the city, Cheung said he got to learn about the community

Communitynow Cats and kittens are looking for good homes It may be the dog days of summer, but it’s cats and kittens who are urgently needing homes, according to the BC SPCA. “This is always a busy time for our shelters, but this summer we are especially overwhelmed with incoming cats and kittens,” said Lorie Chortyk, spokesperson for the BC SPCA, in a news release. “In addition to the usual ‘kitten season,’ where hundreds of abandoned and unwanted kittens are brought into our care, we have responded to a record number of cruelty investigations involving large intakes of cats and kittens.”

Chortyk notes that when cats come in from neglectful situations, they often require extensive behaviour modification and care before they are ready for adoption.

“This means these animals are in our care much longer, and we are challenged to find space in our facilities and foster homes for other cats coming in.”

The BC SPCA is currently caring for 1,283 homeless felines (485 adults cats and 798 kittens) across B.C. Last year the BC SPCA adopted 9,649 cats and kittens into new loving homes.

“Many of our shelters are at capacity throughout the province and face overwhelming pressure to take in more animals in need,” says Chortyk. “If anyone is considering bringing a cat

or kitten into their home, we urge them to please visit their local BC SPCA branch or view our adoptable animals online at spca. bc.ca/adopt. (You can use the search feature to narrow the choice by location and find Burnaby cats.)

The BC SPCA also reminds pet owners to spay and neuter their pets to help stop pet overpopulation.

When Randy Wu arrived in Canada in 2009, he ended up going to school in Saskatchewan.

Living with a host family, the weather was horrific, the food was weird and school was unsatisfying. When he looked into relocating to the West Coast, he was told that if he moved here, there was no guarantee he could transfer to a local school.

“It didn’t matter,” Wu says. “I’m someone who wants to take some risks.”

No kidding.

After Wu moved and got accepted to Simon Fraser University to study economics, he took another risk – the biggest of his life.

Wu had noticed that life for many foreign students was difficult, especially when it came to feeding themselves. One reason was that many students didn’t know their way around the areas outside of their school’s campus. Another was that few students own a vehicle.

“If you don’t have a car,

you don’t have legs,” Wu says.

So he went about developing a service in which Asian students could order the food they love and have it delivered to their door.

It is called Fantuan

(Mandarin for rice ball), and it grew so fast that Wu took that gigantic risk by quitting school in 2014. The risks continued when, for an entire year, he didn’t tell his parents he was no longer a student. (Wu’s sister also

took a risk when she helped bankroll Fantuan: “She is my inspiration.”)

In hindsight, founding the Fantuan app – along with Feng Yaofei – wasn’t really a risk at all because the company has exploded in the

past five years.

Based out of two floors of offices in South Burnaby, Fantuan now has about

50 full-time employees and 350,000 registered users in Continued on page 48

Business now Fantuan focuses on food delivery Continued from page 47 10 Canadian cities, plus Seattle.

Next month, Fantuan takes another giant leap by starting operations in New York City and Los Angeles, with a goal to be in 20 more U.S. cities by the end of 2020. There is also an English version of the app in the works.

Fantuan has now expanded its app from food deliveries to other features, including self-pickup (with discounts), online reviews of the restaurants it delivers for, and online shopping in which users can order grocery items and have them delivered.

The newest Fantuan feature allows users to have the app’s drivers run errands for them, like delivering flowers.

“Say you have a package that needs to be picked up in Vancouver, but you don’t have time,” says Crystal Li, Fantuan’s public relations manager. “Our drivers will pick it up for you.”

The main focus, of course, is on delivering food – mostly Chinese food.

Fantuan orders are roughly 60-per-cent Chinese food and 40 per cent split between food from other Asian countries, such as Vietnam, Japan and Thailand, as well as fast-food outlets like Subway.

A person orders food from the hundreds of restaurant partners and a driver is notified through the app with a map to the eatery to pick up the food, as well as GPS directions to the customer’s home.

While many food apps take a 30-per-cent cut from restaurant partners, Fantuan’s take is 15 to 20 per cent, Li said.

Fantuan’s drivers are a mix of people who work full or part time as self-employed contractors. Some are students, but others have full-time jobs and do deliveries as a side hustle, Li said. The drivers can make more money than working for similar apps, Li said, because drivers are able to do multiple pickups at the same time. Sometimes multiple orders come to the same restaurant at the same

time, or to restaurants that are closely grouped together.

Li said Fantuan works to get drivers multiple orders so they can earn more money. Drivers get to keep all of their tips, Li said, but added that they also have to pay their own gas and insurance.

“We work hard to keep our drivers happy,” said Li, adding that Fantuan has started organizing fun events for drivers, such as a recent basketball tournament.

The NOW toured Fantuan’s offices and the employees are young and exceedingly friendly. The full-time staff work with restaurant partners, the drivers and customers. If a customer has a complaint, they contact Fantuan staff, who then contact the restaurants to address issues. Other staff try out the partner restaurant’s food and write reviews to help app users navigate all of the food choices.

It’s been a whirlwind five years for Wu, who is now married and a father. After finally breaking the news

Artsnow Artists invited to take part in Brunette River exhibition Burnaby artists are invited to be inspired by the Brunette River.

The New Westminster Environmental Partners group is calling on artists to focus on the natural wonders of the Brunette River and its tributaries for an art exhibition planned for the Plaskett Gallery at Massey Theatre in March 2020.

Artists working in a va-

riety of mediums – acrylics, collage, gouache, oils, pastels, pencil, watercolour, photography – are encouraged to take part.

The Plaskett Gallery exhibition is planned to include up to 25 paintings or photographs.

“This river and its tributaries connects many communities and municipalities and continues to struggle in

bringing us nature so close to our homes,” said Vic Leach, Brunette River projects coordinator for New Westminster Environmental Partners, in an email.

Leach noted that few people are aware of the extent of the river and its tributaries – it extends west from Central Park in Burnaby through to 29th Avenue and Slocan Street (Still

Creek) in East Vancouver, from north of Kingsway in the south into Deer Lake, from Port Moody and Burnaby Mountain (Stoney Creek) in the north and Coquitlam in the east, prior to emptying into the Fraser River in New Westminster.

The river itself was once considered “dead,” from the 1950s to the early 1980s; it took 14 years of effort

by the Sapperton Fish and Game Club, beginning in 1969, before salmon finally returned to the river in 1983.

“All nature around this river (and others like it) wrestles daily to stay alive with construction, polluters, various people in many levels of government and others who do not know that it is there or think of its pre-

carious position,” Leach said. “We hope that artists will take the opportunity to shine some light on the Brunette, an urban jewel.”

For information about the art project, email the.nwep@gmail.com.

Anonymous Art Show seeks submissions for October exhibit What would your artwork be worth if no one knew who created it?

100 Braid Street Studios and the Arts Council of New Westminster are calling on artists to express interest in submitting work to the International Artists Day Anonymous Art Show and Gala, which is coming in October.

Artists have until Sept. 7 to express their interest in participating in the show.

The selection team will preview artist websites and

social media channels for examples of their work (artists don’t need to submit the final work or photos of their work). Once artists have been accepted, they can submit one to three works of art, which must all measure 12 by 12 inches. Subject matter is artists’ choice.

All work must be ready to hang and signed only on the back.

Each piece of anonymous art will be priced at $150, with $100 going to the artist when sold. The rest of the

money goes to cover costs and to the Arts Council of New Westminster.

Artists will need to drop off their work between Sept.

19 and 21 for jurying, and artists will be informed of the selection committee’s final decision by Sept. 27.

The show itself runs Oct. 26 and 27 at 100 Braid Street Studios and Gallery.

Veterans to lead Knights’ gridiron charge Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Obstacles and challenges are nothing new for the St. Thomas More Knights football program.

The regular changing of the guard – where nearly half the starting core leaves to be replaced by a lot of hungry, fresh-faced sophomores – hasn’t put a crimp in their compete level. For the past two years, STM entered the playoffs without one of their on-field leaders.

None of these things are exclusive to the Knights.

However, the extra adversity has given those returnees an idea of the journey ahead.

This year, expectations are high, as the squad looks to those second-year returnees and some key junior grads to keep them on the map.

STM head coach Steve De Lazzari expects nothing less but understands why it’s beneficial to be under the radar.

“We like being underdogs, and I think that is not a bad place to be at this stage,” De Lazzari said as the team finished its first week of two-a-day practices.

“You look at the (provincial 3-A) rankings, and you see (the Western Conference’s) Vancouver College, Mount Douglas, New West, South Delta – only (No. 3-ranked) Lord Tweedsmuir comes from (the Eastern Conference).”

All of those teams saw valuable players graduate, so the Knights are not alone in needing to fill holes. And while it may on paper appear to be a lighter load for Eastern-based STM, the route to a provincial final crosses many paths. Water finds its own level, as do po-

tential football champions.

Without the skills and leadership of players like graduates Dario Ciccone, Sam Steele and Michael Simone, however, the opportunities for others to take up the torch are there.

You can’t ask any one player to replace a 2018 3-A MVP (Ciccone), a provincial all-star receiver (Simone) and 2017 conference defender of the year (Steele); you just know leaders tend to emerge on their own.

The roster has a number of players capable of rising to those posts, remarked De Lazzari.

“Our strength this year is

our (Grade) 12s,” he noted. “We’ve got good depth, valuable experience and good character to continue with, but definitely with (Steele, Ciccone and Simone) gone those are large shoes to fill.”

Begin with standout lineman Kaishaun Carter, the six-foot-two force up front who was voted B.C. High School Football’s Top Grade 11. In his second season with the varsity side, Carter soaked up a lot of what it means to compete at the senior level and was among the province’s best linemen by season’s end.

“He’s a special player,” said De Lazzari. “He’s got

good size but he’s very athletic, explosive and powerful. His game IQ is very sharp, and he’ll be making calls from his spot.”

On offence, senior Jack Wagner will slot in as a starting halfback, while Nick Osho, a Grade 11 who played junior and senior last season, will join Wagner in the backfield, as well as on the linebacking core.

Stepping into Ciccone’s spot behind centre will be Anthony De Lazzari. A quarterback with the 5-1 junior Knights, the newcomer has all the qualities to make a smooth transition, remarked the coach – who is very familiar with his po-

tential, being that he’s also his father.

“I’ve coached him for a number of years and you can say he’s unflappable.

His focus is on getting the ball downfield,” noted Steve De Lazzari.

“He’s a very cognitive quarterback and a quick study. He can make proper reads and smart decisions, but there will be a learning curve.”

Unlike Ciccone, the younger De Lazzari is a prototypical pocket pivot, who will use his arm to keep the pins moving. He will also have second-year receiver Rickey Parsons as one of his prime targets.

“This is going to be a process as players get comfortable in their positions, but we have the players who can make the adjustments, who are smart and talented.”

Last year, the senior Knights advanced to the quarterfinals before falling 43-21 to Mount Douglas. On the junior side, undefeated STM was bumped out of the playoff picture in the first game, 55-14 by Kelowna. The common denominator was that both those rivals went on to win their respective provincial title.

The preparation has already begun, as STM joined forces with rival New Westminster for a joint practice last week and is spending the final week before school commences in Hawaii, training with fellow Christian Brother-based Damien Memorial High.

They wrap up the trip Aug. 30 with a game against their American hosts, who are nearly a month into their season.

“The players understand that it’s a different game (in the U.S.),” the coach said.

“We have some catching up to do, but a big part of the trip is the unique camaraderie experience, both as a team together and with (Damien Memorial), who we’ll shadow in the classroom while we’re there.”

By the time the team huddles for its first game in B.C., on Sept. 6 against Notre Dame at Burnaby Lake, they’ll have a broad patch of experience to work with.

“It’s an exciting part of the season, and the goal is always to get better each week,” said De Lazzari.

Lacrosse players named to Canadian Hall of Fame Their connections cross from Burnaby to New Westminster, and their playing career saw them work together for just a few months, but John Wilson and Paul Dal Monte will be entering the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame on the same ticket.

The two are among a group of players, builders and teams that will be inducted to the CLHF in November at a gala event in New Westminster.

Wilson, a New West native, was a first round draft

pick of the Burnaby Lakers in 1990, but prior to that was a frequent senior A callup, including playing alongside Dal Monte on the senior Salmonbellies’ march to the Mann Cup final in 1987 – where Brooklin beat the West Coast champions in seven games.

The offensively skilled forward contributed 11 goals and 17 assists during that playoff run.

Two years later as a senior A rookie with Burnaby, Wilson netted 24 goals

and 55 assists for 79 points over 24 games, sharing the league scoring champion Denny Huddleston Memorial Award with Vancouver’s Randy Jones. Wilson would also share the Ed Bailey Trophy that same year, as the league’s top rookie, with another illustrious player, John Tavares.

Over the next 14 seasons, between the Lakers and the Coquitlam Adanacs, Wilson racked up 992 points in 394 games. In three trips to the Mann Cup champi-

onships, Wilson totalled 18 games, 13 goals and 15 assists – including six goals in six games in the Adanacs’ national win in 2001.

In 1994, the righthander would play for Team Canada at the World Cup in London, England.

Dal Monte, a native of East Vancouver, is being honoured in the builder’s category, for his work as a coach at various levels. While he first tasted early success as a player on the Burnaby Cablevision during

their lengthy run as Minto Cup champions in the late 1970s, he revisited it again as coach with the Burnaby junior Lakers.

He would later become a co-architect of the Burnaby junior A Lakers during their charge to the top of the Minto Cup tournament, winning it in 1998, 2000 and 2002. Dal Monte is currently the Western Lacrosse Association commissioner.

Taking on the coaching duties of the Nation-

al Lacrosse League expansion Vancouver Ravens, Dal Monte skippered the program into the playoffs in two of his three seasons. He also served as an assistant coach for Team Canada at the Heritage Cup in 2002 and at the World Indoor lacrosse championships a year later.

The formal induction banquet will be held Nov. 9 at the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame in the Anvil Centre in New West.

Looking for a new home? Start here.

First Time Home Buyer Incentive launching September 2 First-time home buyers may now be able to get an injection of financial help with the launch of the new First Time Home Buyer Incentive (FTHBI) on September 2.

assuming a five per cent down payment. However, we shouldn’t confuse market average prices ($1 million in Vancouver and $770,000 in Toronto) with starter home prices.

The program, which was announced in the Federal Budget earlier this year, will offer first-time buyers an interest-free loan of up to five per cent of the purchase price of a resale home, or 10 per cent of a new home. The loan will come in the form of a shared-equity mortgage with Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC) and is available to households with an annual income of up to $120,000.

“It may not be a condo in Yaletown or a house in Riverdale, but there are options in both metropolitan areas to accommodate this program. In fact, around 23 per cent of transactions in Toronto are for homes under $500,000 and 10 per cent in Vancouver. It is very difficult to estimate the demand for the incentive; however, based on last year’s activity — more than 2,000 home buyers in Toronto would have been eligible for the FTHBI and over 1,000 in Greater Vancouver.”

The incentive is applicable on mortgages of up to four times the applicants’ household income, resulting in a maximum home purchase price of around $505,000, assuming a five per cent deposit and a $480,000 mortgage value plus CMHC loan.

HOME SALES* Attached Detached

CMHC said that for buyers purchasing a $500,000 new-build home, they would save up to $286 a month in mortgage payments.

However, the program has come under fire for its income and purchase price caps, prompting Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) to release a statement defending the program in April this year.

James Laird, co-founder of Ratehub Inc. and president of CanWise Financial, criticized the incentive. He said, “The key issue remains qualifying, and this program diminishes the amount that a first-time home buyer can qualify for by about 15 to 20 per cent. This is because the program limits the mortgage amount to four times the household income, whereas those not participating in the program can actually qualify for a mortgage that is 4.5 to 4.7 times their income. Household income for qualified home buyers is also capped at $120,000.

INFLATIONARY EFFECT ON HOME PRICES? CMHC also denied that the incentive would have an inflationary effect on home prices, saying that the program had been calculated to avoid this.

The statement said, “We have carefully targeted the FTHBI to help younger Canadians having trouble affording home ownership. The program is capped at $1.25 billion over three years... We do not expect the FTHBI’s inflation effect to be beyond a maximum of 0.2-0.4 per cent.”

“Those who would be attracted to the program would be Canadians who are trying to purchase at their maximum qualification. However, because the program diminishes how much you can qualify for, it doesn’t serve the needs of the group it is targeted at. Canadians can get a larger loan by not participating in the program.”

The housing agency added that suggestions the federal government should have reduced the mortgage stress test or increased mortgage amortization periods to 30 years would result in much more inflation.

However, CMHC responded that there are many options for starter homes in both cities under $505,000.

The Government of Canada has allocated $1.25 billion over three years for this program. More information and examples of the incentive’s benefits can be found at www.aplacetocallhome.ca.

CMHC said that for buyers purchasing a $500,000 new-build home, they would save up to $286 a month in mortgage payments.
