Driver handed ban after crashing on off-ramp Cornelia Naylor

The driver of a crashed Mercedes that hung precariously over the edge of the Grandview/Highway 1 off-ramp last weekend

has been handed a 90-day driving ban and may face charges after blowing over the legal limit, according to the Burnaby RCMP. The crash happened at about 5:40 a.m. on Saturday morning.

It’s still under investigation, but police say it appears the Mercedes rearended a truck towing a trailer with an ATV on it before slamming into the guardrail and raining debris down onto the high-

way below. There were five people in the Mercedes, but no one was seriously hurt, according to police. The Burnaby RCMP told the NOW the driver, a man in his mid-20s, failed

a roadside alcohol test and was arrested and taken to the police station. He has since been ordered to surrender his passport and released on the condition he not leave the province, according to

police. He has a court date set for October. Cleanup after the crash lasted several hours. A crane was brought in to help with the repairs on the overpass.

Stolen car torched near Burnaby homes

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A stolen car found fully engulfed in flames ignited brush close to homes in North Burnaby last week. Firefighters were called to the very north end of North Delta Avenue in the Capitol Hill neighbourhood just before 2 a.m. on July 2, said assistant fire Chief Darcy Robinson. On arrival, they found a burning Honda Accord and flames in nearby bushes, he said. Firefighters knocked down the fire in the bushes and sprayed foam and water on the car. “There was a home nearby, and that’s why they went directly to putting the shrubbery out so that it wouldn’t work its way up toward the house,” Robinson told the NOW. Firefighters left the scene in the care of the RCMP at about 2:40 a.m. “I guess at that time it had been reported that the Honda Accord was a stolen vehicle,” Robinson said. It was the second burning ve-

hicle the fire department had put out in North Burnaby in less than 48 hours. Crews were called to Grove Street by Curtis Avenue last Wednesday (June 30) at about 11:30 p.m., according to Robinson. That fire had spread to a hedge by a nearby home, he said. With record high temperatures in the Lower Mainland last week and dry weather continuing, vehicle fires pose a serious threat, according to Robinson. “They can happen quite quickly,” he said. “Depending on the time of night and no one’s around, it can get serious.” During a spate of recent gang shootings in the Lower Mainland, stolen vehicles used during the attacks have often been found torched in neighbouring cities. Police are investigating whether the burning Honda was linked to any other incidents in the Lower Mainland, according to Burnaby RCMP, but there haven’t been any recent shotsfired calls, and the gang enforcement team is not involved in the investigation at this time.

COURT

Ex-SFU lab worker sentenced for assaulting student Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A former staff member at an SFU research lab has been granted a conditional discharge and sentenced to one year of probation after pleading guilty to assaulting a female grad student at the facility last year. Cheng Fu Hsiao, also known as Dennis Hsiao, had originally been charged with assault and sexual assault after the incident at the university’s 4D Labs on March 27, 2020, but the sexual assault charge was stayed at a sentencing hearing in Vancouver provincial court last week. According to an agreed statement of facts read out in court, the female grad student had been finishing up work at the lab before access to the facility

was scaled back because of COVID-19. Hsiao – a 37-year-old married father of two daughters aged four and seven – had asked the woman out for drinks several times and questioned her about her boyfriend over the year before the assault, according to the agreed facts. “That did not make her feel comfortable,” said Crown prosecutor Louise Gauld. In the week leading up to the assault, the woman said Hsiao had come to her desk “multiple times” to “get close to her,” according to the agreed facts. Then, at about 5:10 p.m. on May 27, 2020, the pair were alone in the lab when Hsiao approached the woman where she was sitting at her desk and told her she would have to

leave soon. He stood “really close to her” and asked if her boyfriend was with her, according to the statement of facts. He told her he wished she would come into the lab the following week to keep him company. “He then touched her hair and said, ‘Your hair is so dirty.You should wash your hair.’ She brushed him off saying, ‘What are you doing?’ Mr. Hsiao then hugged her from the back and attempted to kiss her on her lips saying, ‘Let me have a kiss. I’m too stressed,’ and ended up kissing her on her right cheek,” Gauld said. Hsiao hugged her a second time and kissed her on the right cheek, and she pushed him away. “What are you doing? You know you are married,” the woman had said,

according to the agreed facts. Hsiao then pushed her to the wall just outside the room and tried to kiss her again, saying “Let me have a kiss. I’m too stressed.” The woman then pushed him away and quickly ran upstairs, where she encountered two other female grad students and told them what had happened. One of them escorted her back to the lab so she could pick up her belongings because she was “too afraid of Mr. Hsiao” to return alone, Gauld said. Two days later, the woman got a cold sore after never having had one before, according to the statement of facts. Gauld said the assault had had “quite a significant impact” on the woman. In a joint submission,

Gauld and defence lawyer Michael Bloom called for Hsiao to be granted a conditional discharge and one year of probation, meaning Hsiao will not have a criminal record if he abides by the terms of his probation. COMMUNITY SERVICE Hsiao was also ordered to do 30 hours of community service, write an apology letter and pay his victim $2,200 in reparations for counselling. Under the terms of his probation, he is banned from contacting the woman and from going to the SFU Burnaby campus. Hsiao briefly addressed the court. “I’m very sorry for all my actions. I take full responsibility, and I’ll never be back here,” he said. Hsiao has no previ-

ous criminal record, and Bloom said the incident was “completely out of character.” B.C. provincial court Judge David St. Pierre said he hoped the matter had been “eye-opening” for Hsiao. “You’ve got four- and seven-year-old daughters,” St. Pierre said. “When they go off to school, just think about it for a minute. Do you want them to have to experience things like this?” Hsiao is no longer listed as a staff member on the 4D Labs website, but his LinkedIn profile still shows him as an X-ray specialist at the lab from April 2018 to the present. The NOW has reached out to SFU for information on the status of Hsiao’s employment and has not heard back.

Citynow Burnaby eyes sweeping bans on smoking, vaping Jess Balzer

jfedigan@burnabynow.com

There could be steeper consequences for smokers in Burnaby. At a June 28 city council meeting, the City of Burnaby’s solicitor was authorized to bring forward a new smoking regulation bylaw that could see tighter restrictions in city parks, city-owned or controlled outdoor public spaces and business premises. While provincial standards are in place, a municipal government has the authority to set stricter standards that meet the needs of the community. This includes imposing additional regulations for smoking and vaping in indoor and outdoor spaces. The city says municipalities can also place restrictions on the use of other

smoking products that are not covered in the provincial legislation. At a July 2019 meeting of the city’s parks and recreation commission, a notice of motion was received for consideration that smoking of all substances be banned in City of Burnaby parks. Then, at a city council meeting on Sept. 16 of that year, council adopted a recommendation to authorize city staff to examine the feasibility and advisability of extending the ban on smoking and vaping of all substances to all public places owned, controlled or operated by the city. The now-proposed bylaw would ban smoking of all substances in the majority of business premises and city-owned or controlled outdoor public spaces where people com-

thedwelly.com

monly and regularly pass, stay, gather and engage in recreation. Public spaces would include parks and areas within higher-density town centres, urban villages and other areas where people gather. Smoking would be defined as inhaling, exhaling, burning or carrying an activated e-cigarette, lighted cigarette, cigar, pipe, hookah pipe or other lighted smoking device or equipment that burns tobacco, marijuana or other weed or any substance. “In essence, the vaping or smoking of tobacco, cannabis and other substances in the city will be regulated in accordance with the proposed bylaw,” a city report states. Exceptions to the regulations would be acceptable with approval from the city are as follows:

Council can’t adopt the

bylaw until a copy has first been given to B.C. Minister of Health Adrian Dix. The city also has to consult with the local health authority before the third reading of the bylaw and must forward a copy showing that consultation was completed with a local health authority. Council also has to give notice of the bylaw to those who are considered affected by the change to give feedback to council.

Opinion now MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

End of brieﬁngs is a good sign

One of B.C.’s most popular television programs has finally gone off the air, and that is a sign the COVID-19 pandemic may finally be in the rear-view mirror. I am referring to the regularly scheduled briefings by provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry and Health Minister Adrian Dix.They started back in February 2020, and, for the longest time, they gripped an information-starved public. At first, the briefings were fascinating, tense and almost dramatic. As the pandemic began to alter society, the briefings increased in frequency, and eventually they were held six days a week.They were eventually reduced to three and then two days a week. Daily case numbers, deaths, hospitalizations, ICU patients, changing science related to COVID-19, changing public health protocols, models of changing behaviour patterns – all were the focus of the relentless briefings. At first, reporters were in the room (the legislature press theatre) with both Henry and Dix, and the briefings sometimes ran 90 minutes. By late March, public health safety protocols meant reporters asked questions over the phone. Media interest in these events was phenomenal. In March and April of 2020, there were often more than 100 reporters on the phone line. Moreover, these were not just B.C. reporters but included correspondents from around the world. Henry herself became a major media figure. The NewYork Times published a glowing report of her performance early in the pandemic, and she continues to enjoy a considerable depth of public support. The latest polls showed she continues to track more than 70% approval.

Reporting on the briefings was like being in a fishbowl. Both the questions and the answers would be analyzed (or mocked or approved) on social media. By my calculation, about 3,000 questions were asked by reporters during this show’s run.That is a heck of a lot of questions about essentially one topic. I asked many of them; there were 210 briefings, and I covered every single one of them. Nevertheless, all good things must end. After peaking in case numbers and hospitalizations in early April, our COVID-19 numbers have steadily dropped as our vaccination rate has climbed quickly. When it was apparent, near the beginning of the pandemic, that the briefings had become something of a phenomenon with an almost cult-like following, I wrote in this space way back in March 2020 that as popular as they were, we should be wishing an end to them as soon as possible. “I hope this new show does not run for much longer,” I wrote. “When it disappears from the airwaves, it will be a sign that we have finally flattened the curve.” It took a while (well, 15 months, anyway), but we have reached that point where the briefings are no longer really needed.The information that formed the core of the briefings will still continue. Of course, the show may well return if the Delta variant somehow takes hold as it has in some other jurisdictions. However, our high vaccination rate, particularly in the younger age groups that have the highest infection rates, makes that scenario somewhat doubtful. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global BC.

Cables cut during dispute

Union officials denied any union involvement in the cutting of two fibre optic cables that knocked out phone and internet access to 900 North Burnaby Telus customers in the midst of a heated labour dispute. Telus VP Bruce Okabe didn’t directly blame the union but said whoever cut the cables knew exactly what they were looking for and what to cut. It was the third time Telus lines in B.C. had been tampered with during the first week of the contract dispute between the company and the Telecommunication Workers Union.

Opinionnow My dad nearly died in the heat wave as the ambulance wait times were too long Editor: The 716 sudden deaths due to the extreme heat is more than any daily deaths from COVID-19 (in B.C.). This must not be forgotten as new headlines appear. My father very nearly became one of those statistics above. I had just left him fine a couple of hours earlier when my niece checked on him. At that time, his body was limp, and he was often non-responsive. It took 30 minutes to reach 911. We were told that it would be at least two hours before an ambulance could arrive. They sent the Burnaby Fire Department. They put him on oxygen, with cooling items to bring down his temperature. It was so difficult to watch helplessly. They told us they could not transport him to the hospital. We drove our Jeep up to the front stairs and the firefighters lifted his body into the air-conditioned vehicle. At Burnaby Hospital it was an unbelievable scene. There was no one available from the

hospital to get my father from the car inside the hospital emergency. Three paramedics came to our aid and took him in the ambulance entrance. We were there from the afternoon to 3 a.m. During that time, people were bringing their loved ones in Ubers, taxis and their own cars. One man was carrying his elderly mother over his shoulder running into the emergency department. People were lined up down the sidewalk just to give their names. The waiting room was at capacity and people were waiting outside to be called. There was a 10-hour wait, one nurse said. Inside, with my dad, the nurses were amazing – as too were the paramedics going above and beyond. Does it really matter that this was unprecedented weather? Our government should be prepared for whatever can cripple our community. They should be proactive using foresight in what could possibly happen. I shudder to think if there had been an earthquake. Again, it is our most vulnerable seniors and others who suffer the consequences of their inaction. With more towers and people residing in Burnaby, will the new hospital even meet the community’s needs? The government must to invest in health care. Jacqueline Merandi, Burnaby

Citynow Community fridge offers free food in Burnaby Jess Balzer

jfedigan@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby Primary Care Networks are pushing to ensure nobody goes hungry. Burnaby now has a “community fridge” that provides a safe, low-barrier and non-judgmental way for people to seek nutrition and food. The fridge is out front of the BurnabyYouth Hub at 4750 Imperial St. in Metrotown. “It is a place for people in our neighbourhoods to give and take, to reduce waste and feed their children better,” a press release says. “It builds and enhances our food security in Burnaby.” The fridge is available to anyone who wants to take food from it. It will not be policed to see who is taking food or how much. “In Burnaby, we have a robust network that supports with an ongoing need for food, with Food Hubs actively working to support families and individuals across the city,” the release adds. “But we already know that it sometimes isn’t enough, and we also know that there an awful lot of people in the city who are underfed but aren’t able or willing to reach out for help.

Free food: Burnaby’s first community fridge is now operating outside of the Burnaby Youth Hub. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

“Often these are our most vulnerable seniors, newcomers, and young families – sometimes it’s people who are working hard to become more stable and find that they just need a bit of help to get through a week and to feed their children.” Food continues to be wasted yearly, monthly and daily including extra food at restaurants at the end of a day or people who may have bought too much food and don’t need to use it all. The first fridge was donated by Regal Rotaract and supported by Refood. It was painted by teens and youth at theYouth Hub, with a shelter built and contributed by students from Byrne Creek Secondary School. People are always wel-

come to donate something or take something if needed. Items accepted are as follows: Ð fresh produce Ð dairy Ð bread Ð grab-and-go foods Ð pantry items Ð prepared meals (made in a commercial kitchen only) Items not accepted are as follows: Ð expired food Ð rotting food Ð home-cooked food Ð open packages of food Ð leftovers Ð clothing or housewares There are already two more fridges ready to go.The Burnaby Primary Care Networks is asking any business or organization interested in hosting one to contact them at 604-262-8569.

EllisDon Infrastructure has been awarded the contract to undertake Phase 1 of the Burnaby Hospital redevelopment. The selection of EllisDon Infrastructure follows an evaluation of shortlisted teams to design and build the new Keith and Betty Beedie Pavilion, expand the support facilities building to include a new energy centre and renovate existing buildings on campus. Construction is expected to begin some-

time this summer.The Beedie pavilion and expansion of the support facilities building are expected to be completed in 2025, with renovations complete in 2027. “The redevelopment of the Burnaby Hospital will make a real difference for the people of Burnaby – providing better health for people now and protecting people and communities from health challenges, today and into the future,” said Health Minister Adrian Dix, in a statement. “I’m excited to announce we’ve reached this major milestone in the redevelopment, and shovels will soon be in

the ground to modernize the hospital in one of our province’s fastest-growing communities.” Phase 1 of the redevelopment will see the construction of a six-storey, 83-bed pavilion with underground parking. All patient rooms, except for one, will be single-patient. The pavilion will include a maternity and labour unit, a neonatal intensive care unit and a medical inpatient unit with negative pressure rooms and outbreak zones to isolate infectious diseases. The pavilion will also include a new inpatient mental health and substance use unit with a se-

cured outdoor patio. Within this unit is a fivebed crisis stabilization unit that will provide short-

term inpatient care, assessment and treatment for patients in crisis, at risk or in severe distress.

Furthermore, Phase 1 will include an expansion of the emergency department, operating and procedure rooms and other support areas. With $578.2 million in funding from the province and $34 million from the Burnaby Hospital Foundation, Phase 1 of the redevelopment will cost approximately $612 million. Construction on Phase 2 of the redevelopment, which includes building the second patient-care tower with 160 beds and a new cancer treatment centre, is expected to begin in 2025, once the business plan is approved.

Create Urban Development donates $500K to hospital Create Urban Development marked Canada Day in style with the announcement that the real estate development company was committing $500,000 toward Burnaby Hospital Foundation’s Proud History, Bright Future Campaign in support of the hospital’s redevelopment. Create Urban Development is a family-run Lower Mainland business that prides itself on creating affordable and meaningful living and gathering spaces for family and friends. It is the brainchild of

Create founder and president, Lin Li. “When I first arrived in Canada as a new immigrant, Burnaby was my first home,” said Li. “I stayed at a friend’s home near Deer Lake, and I was struck by its beauty. The city, with its beautiful mix of natural and urban landscapes, has inspired so much of what we have done as a company.” But for all the magnificence Burnaby offers, Li said he sees one critical area of the city’s key infrastructure being left behind – its community hospital. The aging facility was

built in 1952 and has not had a major upgrade in more than four decades. Now, Burnaby Hospital is set for a major redevelopment that will convert the building into a modern, state-of-the-art health-care campus, better equipped to serve its growing community. In celebration of Canada Day, Li and the Create team decided the redevelopment of Burnaby Hospital was the perfect opportunity to give something back to the community they love. The $500,000 gift will be dedicated in support

Citynow Variety ‘Boat for Hope’ set to dock in Burnaby this fall Variety – the Children’s Charity announced that this year’s Boat for Hope will dock in Burnaby on Sept. 12. Due to COVID-19 and the restrictions put in place by the B.C. health authorities, last year’s Boat for Hope was revamped as a drive-thru event on the rooftop parking lot of Coquitlam Centre. This year’s event will take place in the parking lot of Burnaby City Hall, where each corner of the lot will be decorated as a “Treasure Island” with many pirate volunteers awaiting the arrival of special needs kids and their families. Families who have been helped by Variety BC will once again be invited to drive through from the

Citynow Land needed for new school in Brentwood area

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby school district will grapple with some “bigger concepts” this fall as it looks to keep up with population growth in the city’s four town centres. Starting in October, the district will start the process of updating its long-range facilities plan, according to secretary-treasurer Russell Horswill. And among its top challenges will be the Brentwood town centre area, he told the NOW. “We really believe that there should be an elementary school in the Brentwood town centre, but at this stage, there’s no solution,” he said. Condo development in the area had already “greatly affected” enrolment at nearby Brent-

wood Park Elementary School by the time the district completed its last long-range facilities plan in 2018. That plan called for the district to find and acquire a 2.5-hectare site in the rapidly densifying town centre for a new school. That still hasn’t happened. “We do not have land secured or designated for a school at this time, so it will mean working with the city and the developers to try to identify a solution,” Horswill said. Eventually, the district will need new schools in each of the city’s four town centres. The district’s most recent five-year capital plan for 2021/22 included requests totalling $90 million for land in Brentwood, Lougheed and Edmonds plus a new $14-million Brentwood

school. But no new major projects were approved. Horswill said convincing the ministry to fund school expansions before students arrive can be a challenge but a strong business case helps. “Right now that’s really the long-range facilities plan,” Horswill said. The district had planned to renew its plan this year, he said, but that was put on hold because the COVID-19 pandemic had “greatly reduced” its ability to consult with the community. Work on the plan – which will project at least 10 years into the future – will resume in October, according to Horswill, and the document should be complete in April in time for the district’s 2022/23 five-year capital plan request to the ministry in June.

While no new major projects were approved for 2021/22, Horswill said the district still has plenty on its plate with projects that have already been approved, including the con-

struction of the new Burnaby North Secondary School and major seismic projects at Seaforth, Parkcrest and Stride elementary schools. The district is also

working on business cases for seismic projects at Cameron and Brentwood Park. “Right now we’ve got a fair number of projects going on,” Horswill said.

bills. The City of Burnaby currently accepts payment for various receivables or one-time transactions in U.S. currency, but the finance department has asked for permission to discontinue this. For several decades, the City of Burnaby has accepted US cash and cheques as payment tenders at all city locations. Most of the cash volume is at city recreation centres while most volume for cheques is now received through the core cashier at City Hall, mainly for property taxes.

But that costs staff time and the city money due to the extra steps. “By accepting USD, several foreign exchange procedural steps must be followed which in turn requires manual processing, clearing, and increased costs,” reads a city staff report. “While the volume of USD in previous years was significant to warrant acceptance, this has changed over the last decade. The volume of U.S. cash for payments, however, has “dropped significantly over time,” says the report. In reviewing data

from 2014, there was a total of 281 recorded U.S. denominated transactions. There has been steady drop in volume over the next five years. “While the year 2020 is not a normal indication of annual volumes, due to canceled events and closed facilities during the pandemic, data continues to demonstrate that the volume and dollar value of USD payments across the City is very low,” says the report. “Payment volumes have shifted over time in favour of credit and debit card payments.

the City has opened more lines of business to allow acceptance of credit card payments, thus reducing reliance on USD cash and cheques.Volumes of USD received at the City has decreased to minimal levels over the past seven years … The volume of the transactions are not commensurate with the resources and costs associated with additional protocols to manage these infrequent transactions out of over 200,000 in-person payment transactions per annum.”

JACK, Brenda Lynn (Wallbank) 1952 - 2021 It is with great sadness and heartache that we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mom, grandma, aunt, daughter, sister, and loving friend, Brenda. She passed away peacefully on June 26, 2021 at the age of 69 with her family by her side at the Crossroads Hospice after a courageous battle with cancer. Her strength and courage gave us the time that we needed to share the love that we had for one another and memories of the years passed. Brenda leaves behind her loving husband of 45 years, Bob, her son Stephen (Kristy, Markus, Kaylee), her daughter Kristine (Paul, Eric, Emma, Jordy), and her extended family and friends. She was predeceased by her mother and father. Brenda loved her longtime friends like family and cherished her coffee and lunch get togethers. She was a loving grandma that adored her grandchildren and was loved more than words could ever express. She was the ultimate team mom and biggest supporter of her children and grandchildren and beamed with pride on the sidelines at sporting events. Brenda never forgot a birthday or let an important event pass by without a celebration. Her kind and giving personality along with her willingness to put others before her has left a lasting impression on all of us that were fortunate to be a part of her life.

ROBERTSON, Alfred (Ole) It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Ole Robertson on June 29, 2021 at the age of 93. He was predeceased by his beloved wife, Bev, in 2010. Ole is survived by his son Greg (Barb), daughter Joan (Bill), grandchildren Christine (Jamie), Shawn (Angela), Tara (Adam) and Kelsey (Kayvon), and great-grandchildren Layla, Jack, Olin, Hannah and Lyla. Ole was born in Queensborough, New Westminster in 1928 and lived most of his life in Burnaby. He was a retired installer/linesman with B.C. Tel and was a long time member of the Sapperton and Burnaby Fish and Game Clubs. In the 1960’s he built a cabin on Gun Lake where he and Bev made many friends and spent many happy years fishing and hunting. Ole was a loving father, grandfather, great-grandfather, a great friend, and a wonderful story teller, particularly of his days in the Merchant Navy when he was a young man. Ole will be fondly remembered and sorely missed by family and friends. He was a true gentleman. There will be no service by request. If you care to make a gesture in Ole’s memory, donations may be made to the BC Cancer Research Society.

Brenda was born on May 14, 1952 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. She moved to New Westminster, B.C., in high school and graduated from NWSS. Brenda spent 40 years working at Douglas College starting in the Nursing department. She moved to the Continuing Education and Student Services departments and her kindness and understanding with the co-workers and students that she worked with made a lasting impact on many.
