Redefining possible: Free the Children motivational speaker Spencer West (in blue) celebrates fundraising success with students at Burnaby’s St. Francis de Sales Elementary School Thursday as part of Free the Children’s cross country We Create Change Tour.
Students hear inspiring message from man who climbed Mount Kilimanjaro Cornelia Naylor staff reporter
A group of Burnaby students got a lesson in redefining the possible last week from a legless man who climbed Africa’s highest peak, mostly on his hands. Spencer West, who lost his legs just below the hips to a genetic disorder at age five, climbed Mount Kilimanjaro two years ago and last year made his way by hand and wheelchair from Edmonton to Calgary, all to raise money for Africa water projects. The Free the Children fundraiser and motivational speaker touched down at St. Francis de Sales Thursday during his cross-country We Create Change Tour that ended this week in Toronto. “One of the things that I try to do is use myself as an example,” West told the NOW. “I’ve got a bunch of challenges; we’ve all got challenges. If I can do these things, so can you. That’s sort of what I

hope they walk away with.” His message wasn’t lost on the nearly 300 students from St. Francis de Sales, St. Mary’s and St. Francis of Assisi who gathered to hear him speak. “I heard that he wanted to stop, but he kept going,” said Grade 7 student James
Iglesias of the Kilimanjaro climb. “That really inspires me.” The same feat stood out for Grade 7 student Mia Malinowski. “Him climbing that mountain was just, wow,” she said. “It just shows that you can do whatever you put your mind to and to
never give up.” Classmate Anna MacGregor, meanwhile, said she was touched by a story she had once heard West tell at We Day, Free the Children’s annual youth empowerment event aimed at motivating kids to get Students Page 4
Burnaby gondola falls off transit plan Cornelia Naylor staff reporter
SFU students are disappointed Metro Vancouver mayors left the Burnaby Mountain gondola out of the 10-year $7.5 billion regional transit plan they approved last week. “There’s a lot of competing projects, but given that this project is such a high benefit, we were quite shocked,” SFU Student Society president Chardaye Bueckert told the NOW. “They seem to have ignored the
business case that was prepared in 2011 by TransLink, which said essentially that this project should be built; it had such a high benefit ratio.” The $120-million gondola – which planners say should be slung between the Production Way-University SkyTrain station and SFU – would bring $3.60 worth of benefits (in the form of savings on travel time, vehicle kilometres, auto operating costs, collision costs and carbon emissions) for every $1 spent, according to the TransLink report.

And it would cut travel time up the mountain in half. The SFU Student Society, Graduate Student Society and Sustainable SFU, which represent a combined 30,000 students, had pressed metro mayors to include the project in their new plan. “At this point we are just calling to have them reconsider that – the provincial government as well as the mayors,” Bueckert said. She said a gondola would liberate 32 buses during a single peak hour, which

could feed the 11 new B-line routes proposed in the new transportation plan. “It seems really complementary,” Bueckert said. But the students will get little support from Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan. He was the only member of the mayors’ council on regional transportation to vote against the new transit plan approved last week, saying it was too expensive. “It was a wish list, an attempt to get support around the region by promising ◗Gondola Page 3

staff reporter
Rick Ilott isn’t too happy about laying off his employees for a day. The owner of Wizard Industries, a company that manufactures retractable screen doors, is preparing to send his workers home on Wednesday, June 25, because B.C. Hydro is conducting maintenance near his warehouse that requires him to shut off the power during business hours. On June 9, Ilott received an email from the electric power company notifying him of a scheduled outage that will affect properties on Beta Avenue south of Lougheed Highway and on Dawson Street from Beta to Yukon Crescent. The email stated they will be making electrical system improvements from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. “To ensure the safety of our work crews, it will be necessary to interrupt electrical service for the time indicated,” reads the notification. “To prepare for this interruption and protect your equipment from damage, turn off all lights, electric heaters and major appliances and unplug all electronics.” But to Ilott, that’s a lot of manhours lost between his 20 seasonal employees on the cusp of summer when the number of screen orders skyrockets. “It’s frustrating and it’s expensive,” he said. “If it was in November, we wouldn’t have cared, but it’s the busiest time of the year for us.” Ilott said a service representa-

Power problems: Rick Ilott, owner of Wizard Industries, is questioning why B.C. Hydro has
decided to do maintenance during business hours on a Wednesday, forcing his company and neighbouring operations to shut down for the day on June 25. tive from B.C. Hydro told him the outage would affect 600 energy metres for a combination of businesses and residences. He suspects the maintenance is tied to pending development of the area, as his building and neighbouring properties have been purchased to make way for a proposed highrise residential building with a lowrise podium. “I don’t think we should have to subsidize the cost of this,” he said, recommending that the
power company do the repairs on a Sunday when most businesses aren’t open. “It may not be convenient for B.C. Hydro, but if they have to pay their employees overtime, they should charge it to the developer.” But B.C. Hydro spokeswoman Mora Scott said the necessary repairs are routine maintenance to improve their ability to switch from one electrical circuit to another in the event of a fault. “Unfortunately, this work can
only be done with the power lines de-energized, which means an outage for our customers,” she said. According to Scott, the reasoning for doing the maintenance in the daytime on the 25th is because it’s more cost-effective than doing it on a Saturday or Sunday. “We always try to respond to the unique service needs of our customers where possible, but we also have to ensure that we Power Page 4

everybody everything,” Corrigan told the NOW. “I wanted a more realistic, more focused plan. If you keep adding items to a wish list then pretty soon it becomes so unrealistic that no one ever believes it will be done.” Corrigan said adding the gondola isn’t the way to go given the current economic climate. “I don’t think that the gondola at this point is necessarily supportable as a priority capital expenditure,” he said. “There’s a lot of arguments being made about the gondola being more environmentally sound than the buses are, and I think there’s merit to that argument,

but when it comes to financial, the argument on it didn’t work.” The plan to string a gondola up Burnaby Mountain 40 metres above the ground between five towers up to 70 metres tall garnered a lot of attention in 2011, when residents of Forest Grove, a neighbourhood along the proposed route, complained the project was being “leapfrogged through” by TransLink. At an open house one resident called the plan a “Whistler-style freak show” that would destroy the peaceful feel of the neighbourhood. By January 2012, however, TransLink

reported that – while it still considered the gondola the best solution for upgrading transit service on the mountain – the project was not a priority while the transportation authority was completing other projects it had already committed to, like the Evergreen Line. TransLink’s study also found the gondola would cost closer to $120 million than the $50 million projected in an earlier feasibility study. Students at SFU, however, have continued to promote the plan, organizing the “We Like It On Top” social media contest last spring to raise awareness about the gondola’s potential benefits.

operate as cost-effectively as we can,” she noted. “Project work like this is scheduled to occur during business hours on a weekday because weekend work is often significantly more expensive, so the higher cost would be passed on to our ratepayers.” While Ilott received the email notification on June 9, Scott said B.C. Hydro left preliminary messages with business owners on May 29 informing them of the outage and giving a window of two or three business days to respond with any concerns. “When we hadn’t heard back from them by June 4, we kind of assumed everything was OK, so we sent the outage notification to the 500-plus residential customers who would be affected and then the business customers,” she said. Despite that, in all of his years running Wizard Industries, Ilott said he has never encountered an eight-hour scheduled outage, no matter what time of day. “Maybe for an hour here and there, but for an entire work day? I’ve never heard of this before.”

involved in local and global issues. When West was in Kenya helping Free the Children build a school in 2008, a young girl had said to him, “I didn’t know this sort of thing happened to white people.” The We Create Change Tour was aimed in part at celebrating the support Free the Children has gotten from students across Canada. For its size, St. Frances de Sales has raised a fair chunk of change for local and global charities, including $2,500 for Free the Children last year. “It’s really important to teach them a sense of stewardship and that we are responsible for one another in the world,” principal Irene Wihak said. “When you’re blessed to live in a place like Canada, it just gives you extra responsibility to lend assistance to parts of the world where people aren’t as fortunate.”

Mayors propose a costly vision IN THE HOUSE
A
Keith Baldrey
s far as wish lists go, the one put together by Metro Vancouver’s mayors when it comes to future transit and transportation improvements is indeed an impressive one. It’s got something for everyone, pretty much no matter where they live. Take the SeaBus all the time? No problem, they’ll increase the number of sailings. Need to travel down West Broadway in Vancouver? Why, here’s a subway for you, at least part of the way. Whether you need to cross the Fraser River, take buses anywhere or get from A to B in Surrey, the plan has something for you. But what it doesn’t have, and what may be its Achilles heel, is any certainty when it comes to how to pay for all this stuff. And it’s expensive stuff: $7.5 billion. Oh, the mayors have come up with some ideas on the funding front: bridge tolls, road “pricing” (which can be interpreted in different ways), property taxes and, oh yes, a massive cash injection from “senior” govern-
ments might fund everything. But one idea – getting $250 million from the provincial government’s carbon tax revenue – was quickly shot down by the provincial transportation minister. This was entirely predictable, and in fact mayors were signalled that tapping into the provincial carbon tax was a nonstarter, so why it was included in the revenue grab bag is mystifying. Of course, the provincial government will have to help fund some part of whatever transportation infrastructure plan ultimately comes to fruition in Metro Vancouver, but what that translates to remains to be seen (although it will be funding a new Massey Bridge to the tune of about $2 billion, hardly chump change). After all, improving transportation is vital to economic growth. The movement of goods and services around the metro region is critical to the local economy, and it’s in the provincial government’s own interest to help fund those improvements Still, the mayors deserve credit for being able to recognize which projects and needs have priority in the region. Their plan is a long-term one – stretching out for 30 years – and is based on a huge spike in population size. Mayors Page 7
housing and gas as the teachers do. At press time Tuesday the BCTF was still hoping for eight per cent over five years but with a lot of sundry additional increases in benefits. This is unreasonable given other public sector settlements. But it is also unreasonable for the government to keep insisting that class size doesn’t matter. Of course it does. It has an impact on workloads and student-teacher time. The lack of
adequate special needs helpers and counsellors in schools also impacts teachers’ ability to work and does not give students who need special help the respect and attention they deserve. By the time this editorial lands on your doorstep we suspect there will be a settlement that no one is happy about, but if there isn’t – well, we’re more than happy to provide this one free of charge.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Where’s the discrimination? Dear Editor:
I find myself in complete agreement with the headline of your opinion piece of Friday, June 13 (Supporting discrimination is simply wrong). The decision of some 77 per cent of the lawyers of B.C. to discriminate against future graduates of Trinity Western University School of Law is simply wrong. Under the terms of its charter, Trinity Western University is required to provide university education with an underlying philosophy and viewpoint that is Christian. While it is certainly true that certain Christian sects and denominations have endorsed same-sex unions or marriages, the majority have not.
Throughout the over 50 years of its existence, TWU has required students to adopt a community covenant consistent with its Christian worldview. When Trinity Western’s community covenant was challenged by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation in 2001, the Supreme Court of Canada sided with Trinity Western. It is interesting to note that the Civil Marriage specifically states that no person or organization shall be deprived of any benefit, or be subject to any obligation or sanction, by reason of the expression of their beliefs in respect of marriage as the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others. Sadly, if the Law Society of B.C. reverses its acceptance of Trinity Western University as an

approved faculty of law, Trinity Western’s future law school graduates will in fact be deprived of the right to practise law in British Columbia (although Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Prince Edward Island, and possibly others, will accept them), not due to their training or ability as lawyers and whether they are “of good character and repute” (the current criteria in the Legal Profession Act), but due to the school which issued their law degree. This is discrimination. And for 3,210 lawyers to have supported it on June 10 is simply wrong. Peter Anderson, New Westminster
Democracy? Not so much Dear Editor:
Many Burnaby NOW readers will agree with your North Shore opinion piece, “Protests, demonstrations, part of democracy.” I do not. When the same face shows up over and over again at the various demonstrations I expect that you include this in your report. (Some of us also draw certain conclusions when people, peaceful or otherwise, hide behind masks.) As we saw in Toronto at the G8, “peaceful” demonstrators provided convenient cover for the violent
ones who disappeared in their midst. All of this is openly discussed. However, if the information is shared by the government the logical next step, according to you, is crushing people à la Tiananmen Square under tanks? I do remember the ruckus when the earth was still cooling, because all of us with access to restricted areas at YVR needed to be fingerprinted. Then as now my reaction remains the same. Having my fingerprints on file will prove one thing and one thing only: I did not do it! Otherwise it was all the same: government paranoia, violation of fundamental rights, police state … You know the routine! Today we just put shoes on grandma that come easily off and on again and have pretty much forgotten who caused us to spend $7 billion annually on airport security. More recently a bus driver was injured on the job by sisters who had racked up hundreds of “confrontational” contacts with police. Are you telling us that no such records should have been kept either? Quite frankly, instead of just keeping a record on them, I wish something had been done earlier as a result of these “contacts” and, I bet, so does the injured driver! Considering facts on the ground, some of us may just conclude that you applied the word paranoia to the wrong people! Ziggy Eckardt, Burnaby

Getting them to agree on a grand plan is no small feat. For so long, parochial interests have prevented them from seeing the need to accommodate each other’s interests. But the mayors’ plan raises two key questions: is everything in it actually needed, and is it all affordable? On what’s needed, I suppose one can argue all kinds of significant transportation and transit improvements and investments will be “needed” over a long period of time. However, Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan seems to be the only one to grasp the key political reality – voters (those who keep these mayors in or out of office) will surely bristle at a plan that threatens to reach deep into their wallets, and getting provincial and federal governments to fork over huge amounts of cash is a pipe dream.
I’ve written before about the conundrum facing the mayors: everyone wants more service, and everyone wants someone else – that guy over there in that car, that person on the bus – to pay for it all. People feel taxed-out, and it will be interesting to see if the mayors aggressively push for their constituents to pay for tolls, road pricing and higher property taxes to pay for enormously expensive infrastructure. All this is leading to a referendum which presumably will give voters the chance to say yes or no to a host of taxation and revenue measures. Am I the only one to think the no side will crush the yes side? Reason doesn’t enter into this debate. Most people cannot comprehend the sheer financial enormity of what the mayors are proposing, and cling to a belief that a magical solution does indeed exist,
one that sees things built without costing them a nickel more. ! Last week’s Ontario election result, like the last B.C. election, serves as a reminder that some old assumptions about elections have to be challenged. First, political polling may be a sunset industry. A series of polls in the last couple of days suggested a statistical dead heat between the Liberals and the Conservatives, and a surge in NDP support. Instead, the Liberals romped to an easy majority win. Secondly, calling a government “scandalplagued” doesn’t seem to hurt its re-election chances. Instead, voters these days seem to be wary of change, no matter how many socalled scandals dog an incumbent government. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

GRAND OPENING IN JULY
Eagle Creek pub to become family eatery City council approves $250,000 to turn golfers’ pub into a family restaurant Jacob Zinn staff reporter
Fear not, hungry golfers – the Eagle Creek pub is under renovation, with plans to become a family-friendly restaurant. After years of low profits and tight budgets, the beloved Burnaby Mountain watering hole closed its doors last month, to the chagrin of many locals and frequent golfers. But after consulting with a marketing firm, the city has decided to upgrade the kitchen and turn it into a neighbourhood restaurant. “When you look at the market there, if you lived in that vicinity, you have to go quite some distance to find a family restaurant,” said David O’Connor, manager of golf operations with the city. “It appeals to the neighbourhood and North Burnaby as a whole. It gives another strong amenity to the community.” On Monday night, Burnaby city council approved the use of $250,000 from interest on the city’s gaming fund for upgrades and repairs to the site, as well as equipment and furniture. “We’ve been in a process with some other budgets that were available by
upgrading the kitchen and some deficiencies in equipment and repairs,” said O’Connor. “The banquet area is an area we’ll be concentrating on with carpeting and new lighting – it’s not much, but it’s significant square footage.” Georgia Wagner, a regular of the golf course who petitioned in May to keep the pub open after she heard it was closing, said she is looking forward to the reopening, despite her apprehension to the ongoing renovations. “I’m not sure why you’d have to reno something that was so quaint,” she said. “All us old folk out there, we just loved it the way it was. But times are changing. “We’ll certainly give it a shot – it could be wonderful, and we’re sure hoping it is.” By modernizing the site and making it an all-ages facility, O’Connor said the city aims to offer “more options to more people” while keeping the menus and promotions consistent with dining options at other Burnaby golf courses. He noted the restaurant and bistro will likely be renamed Mulligan’s and Mulligan’s Express, to fall in line with the Riverway restaurant of the same name. “Now it’s the beautification portion,” said O’Connor. “Everybody’s looking forward to the grand opening in early July.” Follow Jacob Zinn on Twitter, @JacobZinn

New festival helps send kids to camp staff reporter
There’s a new family festival in town, and proceeds help send under-privileged kids to summer camp. Burnaby Community Services is launching the first Family Festival on Saturday, June 21, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. to benefit the Camping Bureau. “We wanted to have a really fun event that would bring people out and celebrate our communities and what we do for each other,” said Stephen D’Souza, executive director of Burnaby Community Services, which sends kids from lowincome families to summer camps. The first Family Festival is at Burnaby’s Central Park, between Kingsway and Patterson SkyTrain station. Admission is free, and there will be tons of fun things to do: robot races, face painting, a magic show, sack Stephen D’Souza races, music shows, balloon animals executive director and more. There are also carnival rides and carnival games, which costs $2 each. Burnaby Community Services arranged sponsors to come on board, to help raise money for the Camping Bureau. There will also be donations boxes, a raffle, and water on sale by donation to help bolster funds. “We’re not expecting to raise a ton of money from this. It’s just to get the community out and have a fun time together,” D’Souza said. “It’s going to be lots of fun. We tried to make it as affordable as possible.”

Dance takes flight on Shadbolt lawn Julie MacLellan staff reporter
“And my soul spread Far its wings And sailed o’er the hushed lands As if gliding home.” ith flying hair and flowing white outfit, Makaila Wallace embodies the spirit of those lyrics as she rehearses on the Shadbolt Centre lawn. The recently retired Ballet B.C. star is at Deer Lake Park, getting ready for Dances for a Small Stage: Summer Lovin’ – which takes to the stage (or, more accurately, the grounds) at Shadbolt Centre for the Arts on June 20 and 21. Wallace has collaborated with renowned dance artist Simone Orlando to create a work set to two pieces by Robert Schumann: Dichterliebe (Das ist ein Flöten und Geigen) and Mondnacht, from which the above translation is taken. She’ll be appearing with two musicians: pianist Candy Siu and opera singer Willy Miles-Grenzberg. “I really, genuinely feel very honoured that I’m able to dance to these two beautiful artists. I’m very lucky,” Wallace says. “I really love when art forms cross. There’s something really beautiful when you’re able to do that with these different mediums.” The piece has its origins in a proposal by Siu, who approached Wallace with the idea of working on a collaboration with a dancer and a singer. Initially, it was going to be a larger project, but when the chance to take part in Dances for a Small Stage came up, the collaboration morphed into a shorter, more intimate performance. It’s one of several works that will make up the Dances for a Small Stage evening. The dance series, curated by Julie-anne Saroyan, brings together a host of dance artists working in a variety of styles, each presenting a short piece as part of the event. Normally – as its name suggests – the series limits itself to one small stage, confining performers to a 10-by-13-foot space. For this outing, however, performers will work in a variety of settings – from the jungle gym to the plaza to Century Garden – as the audience moves around to enjoy the performances. It’s a setting that appeals to Wallace on many levels – and not only for the natural

beauty of the Deer Lake surroundings. “As my career has gone on, and over the last few years, I’ve become increasingly interested in more intimate environments,” Wallace says. “There is something about being very close with people, literally, that I really quite enjoy. It feels very honest, and it feels as though they’re a part of what you’re doing, actually in it with you. They are part of the environment, quite literally, and there’s something really beautiful in that.” She concedes that dancing outdoors, in a less controlled setting than on a stage, brings extra challenges to the performers – but it’s something she relishes. “No matter what, dance is a live, inthe-moment art form,” Wallace says. “It’s
Festival rocks Deer Lake Cayley Dobie staff reporter
Rainy, miserable weather proved ineffective in discouraging the nearly 5,000 people who attended the CBCMusic.ca Festival on Saturday at Deer Lake Park. The festival, which got started around 1 p.m., was a lively day of indie rock and rain, capped off with a stellar show by headliners Tegan and Sara. While the event was aimed at a younger audience, with performances
by Hannah Georgas, The Belle Game, the Arkells, Dan Mangan, Spoon and Tegan and Sara, among others, the crowd was fairly diverse. Both young and old made the best of the dreary day, some abandoning all hope of being dry and dancing carefree in the rain. The highlight of the day, however, seemed to be Mangan’s evening performance, which nearly stole the whole festival with a passionate rendition of Robots featuring an energetic singalong portion. Festival Page 13
always important to stay open, and as much as possible be flexible and adaptable within what you’re doing.” The same flexibility and adaptability has been part of the game for Jessica Chambers, the Shadbolt Centre’s technical director, whose job it has been to work out the logistics of the whole evening. She notes that the original plan was to have the dancers perform in various locations throughout the Shadbolt Centre itself. “As we talked about it some more, it started to become really interesting to us to use the space outside,” she says. “There’s a lot to play with there, and it’s great to see the dancers and choreographers interact with the environment we’re in.” Of course, that meant solving a few
technical problems - such as, for instance, how to make a sound system that would work for multiple locations. The solution? A sound system on a golf cart, powered by a battery inverter designed by one of the site’s electricians, that can be driven around from spot to spot. “At the end of the night we just drive the cart back into the building,” Chambers says with a laugh. Another challenge was lighting – since, on the longest days of the year, it will still be somewhat light outside and traditional theatrical lighting just wouldn’t work. Chambers has opted to focus on decorative lighting, lighting the environment around the performances and allowing the Dance Page 12

dancers to be lit by the natural light. “I’m going to be doing some tree climbing,” she laughs. And yes, it also means that Chambers has to have a backup plan in hand in case Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate. Since there’s a grand piano involved in the evening, the decision has been made that if there’s so much as a sprinkle, the performance will have to be inside – with performers in different locations around the building. (And sadly, if that happens, Chambers won’t be able to drive her golf cart sound system around inside.) Either way, Chambers is excited about the opportunity to present Dances for a Small Stage as part of the Live at the ‘Bolt series. “Live at the ‘Bolt is a really great opportunity to showcase what we do here,” she says, noting in that sense the performance series is similar to Dances for a Small Stage – which offers “little tastes of what modern dance can be.” “It’s a really great combination,” she says, adding she’s hoping to see new audiences turn out to check out the performance. “One of the things I get really excited about is that it really showcases local artists. It’s a really great opportunity to see who are the new, up-and-coming artists in Vancouver.” Wallace notes that Dances for a Small Stage is a perfect way for newcomers to the dance world to get a taste of what it’s all about. “It is a really awesome production because it tends to be very diverse,” she says, noting it showcases a wide range of choreography and dance styles. On top of that, she adds, it’s the perfect setting for a summer evening. “You’re in nature, you’re in the fresh air in this beautiful environment,” she points out. “It’s a really awesome venue. To be able to use this space as we are, I think, is really special.” Tickets for the evening are $15 regular, or $10 for youth (high school students and younger). Buy by phone at 604-205-3000 or through tickets.shadbolt centre.com, or pick up in person at the Shadbolt box office at 6450 Deer Lake Ave. You can find out more at www.shadboltcentre.com or www.movent.ca.

The Quin sisters, originally from Calgary, paid tribute to the fans that helped them reach mainstream success, both in Canada and the United States, by playing several of their indie classics, including Living Room and Back in Your Head. “Vancouver has a reputation of being too cool to dance,” Tegan joked with the audience, trying to encourage them to dance to Alligator. Both were charming, interacting and joking throughout their set. Tegan, however, seemed to be the more playful of the Quin sisters, at one point even poking fun at Sara and her dislike of friendly cities. As curfew approached, Tegan and Sara started wrapping up their show, but not before throwing in a few last friendly jabs at Vancouver. “You’re the best show so far this tour, and don’t let the fact that you’re the first show distract you,” Tegan joked before thanking everyone for braving the rainy weather. Tegan and Sara went out with a bang playing their recent hit Closer, one of their mainstream successes off the 2013 album Heartthrob, shortly after 10 p.m. This is the second year CBC Radio has hosted a music festival. Last year’s event, held in Toronto, featured up-and-coming artists as well as well-known Canadian groups Sloan and the Sam Roberts Band.

West Vancouver residents Ali Shuparski and Katie Tikkanen made the trek to Burnaby specifically to see Mangan and they certainly weren’t disappointed. “Dan Mangan was my favourite for sure,” Shuparski said. “Ya, he was my top choice also,” Tikkanen agreed. Both Shuparski and Tikkanen were enjoying the festival when the NOW spoke with them shortly after Dan Mangan’s set. Even the rain hadn’t dampened their spirits, and they were anxiously awaiting Spoon and Tegan and Sara. When asked if they would make the trip out to Burnaby again, both agreed it would be something they would definitely check out. American rock band Spoon was the only nonCanadian group at the festival, something lead singer Britt Daniel acknowledged when they took the stage shortly after 7 p.m. The band, which has been around since the early ‘90s, recently released a new album, and while they played a few songs off of it, they delighted audiences by playing some of their more notable hits, including I Summon You, I Turn My Camera On, and Small Stakes. But it was festival headliners Tegan and Sara that really impressed – even though by the time they hit the stage around 8:45 p.m. it was pouring rain.

t might be the worst enemy of the family road trip. Rain or shine, night or day, this road hazard can strike and you need to be prepared. It’s not a flat tire, and it isn’t a fuel leak. It is boredom. A backseat full of restless children can be a nuisance at best and a driving distraction at worst, so you need to be ready to keep the kids entertained on long summer drives. Before you hit the road for your next trip, stop and think about these boredom busters. ● Play

how young your passengers are, a deck of cards is full of endless possibilities. Use a tray for a table,
and go fish! If they tire of games they already know, take the chance to teach them a new game that they can master while stuck in their seats, and make it a go-to for the rest of the trip. ● Get lost in a story: Books are another
easy fix. If your child is still a beginner reader and has shorter books, pack extras for them to stay engaged with. A good story can lock in any reader and make the hours fly.
Audiobooks are a great alternative to keep the whole car entertained. Before leaving on your trip, visit your local library and pick out two or three stories that will appeal to everyone. Giving the mind something to focus on will make a world of difference. ● Your satellite saviour: Perhaps the
most important is a good radio. Terrestrial radio is inconsistent and finicky, especially when you’re away from urban centres, so think about making the upgrade to satellite service.

The family road trip can be a voyage of boredom for kids. But there are ways of making the trip more fun, or at least less boring. keep kids entertained. If your final destination is a hotel or if you’re making an overnight stop you may still need to keep boredom at bay – there are only so many channels to choose from on TV. Many hotels offer free Wi-Fi access so be sure to load your tablet or your smartphone with games, entertainment and music apps. ●
Say cheese:
An inexpensive digital camera to leave in the backseat is another surprisingly effective method of controlling backseat boredom. Younger children will have fun with
the new toy, taking awkwardly angled pictures and goofy home movies, while your teenagers can catch great shots of the scenery you miss while navigating. At the end of the trip, you can take all those memories home with you, and make a great road trip scrapbook with your own camera footage. You’ll always encounter road-restlessness on a long drive, but with these go-to solutions you can nip them in the bud before it gets out of hand. – NewsCanada

'"//!+ &)/,* )+! 3--# 4-+ &210#+!. PARENTING Kathy Lynn
I
’m a fan of a summer camp experience for children. This is not surprising because research shows that 90 per cent of people who went to a residential camp also send their children. Being that my husband and I were childhood campers and counsellors, you can bet our kids attended. I would add that camping helps children to move along the road to being capable adults. In my book, But Nobody Told Me I’d Ever Have to Leave Home, I write, “summer camp … is a golden opportunity for our children to develop it’s designed to meet the developmental needs of your children, with challenges and opportunities appropriate to their age.” The trick is to choose the right camp for your child. Then you need to trust the camp staff and your child. So what are the considerations when selecting the right camp? Is he ready to be away from home? Has he spent some nights with friends or relatives and how did he handle that? Now remember this is about whether he’s ready, not
whether you’re ready. It can be hard to let our kids head off into the unknown without us along to look after them. But, as soon as they’re ready, it’s the best gift we can give them. They learn they can handle things on their own and we learn they can survive without us for a short while. Another issue is finding a camp that you know is safe, with qualified staff and quality programming. The B.C. Camping Association offers an accreditation process for all camps that have been running for at least one year. Knowing that the camp you’ve chosen is accredited is a great way to know that it has met the basic standards in terms of training, programming and safety. The B.C. Camping Association website (bccamping.org) lists all the accredited camps. The website also explains the accreditation process. Once you have chosen a camp, be sure to attend the parent information night. Talk to the staff. Ask about the camp philosophy. Ask them to walk you through a typical day. Good camp people love to talk to parents, and you can get a sense of the camp by asking questions. Trust your instincts. Does this sound right for your child? If they don’t want to talk to you or hedge, then find another
camp. It’s also a good idea to talk to parents whose children have attended the camp. When you tell your friends and colleagues that you are considering sending your child to camp you will get lots of advice and recommendations. The most consistent complaint from parents about camp is religious content in the program. If you’re looking for a religious orientation, that’s fine, but when it’s a surprise parents find that sometimes the kids come home from camp talking about being “born again” or about daily Bible study. If you don’t want this for your child, ask the staff. Listen to the description of the day’s activities and choose accordingly. In recent years, some camps have installed video cameras to enable parents to keep an eye on their kids. It may sound great, but I’d avoid such a camp. For kids, the whole point of going to camp is to have a chance to succeed away from their folks. If they know their parents are checking them out online every day, they may as well be at home. Choose the right camp. Do your homework. Then let your child go. (Kathy Lynn is a professional speaker and author. Sign up for her informational newsletter at parentingtoday.ca. )

ASK A REALTOR
Q. I plan to sell my home sometime this year. Which renovations offer the highest return? A. It’s always a great time to make improvements,
Q. How do I save the most money on my prescriptions? A. There are several ways to save some money on your
prescriptions. The first way would be to make sure that you have signed up for the Government insurance program called Pharmacare. Pharmacare will cover the cost of eligible prescriptions once an individual has reached a deductible based on their family’s income.
whether you are remodelling to maintain your home or to increase its value before you put it on the market. One of the highest and most obvious is painting the interior and exterior of the house which can expect up to 300% return on investment. Choose neutral and current colours to light up a room. Money is always well Jenny Wun spent in the kitchen as it boasts a return ranging from Real Estate Specialist 68% up to 120% since it continues to be an increased focus as the entertainment hub of the home. Finally, a bathroom remodel can recoup anywhere from 65% to 120% of your investment. Start with the project that requires your attention right away because your wallet and your sanity may not allow it to happen simultaneously.
Another way to save some money on your prescriptions is to double the dose of your low-strength medication and get the pharmacy to cut the pills in half. For example, if you are on 20mg of lipitor per day, fill for the 40mg strength and get the pharmacy to cut the pills in half. As it turns out, increasing the strength of certain medication does not increase the cost because a 20mg tablet is the same price as the 40mg tablet. They have done a number of studies testing the effectiveness of half pills and there is no change in the effectiveness of half or quarter pills. Hassan Lalani
Owner, Target Pharmacy
The last way to save money on prescriptions is to find out if some of the medications you are taking qualify for Special Authority. Special Authority is a program where the government will cover the cost of certain medications if the patient meets a criteria.
Want to know how to prioritize your project? Call or email Jenny to have her help you put your plans and budget in place.

ASK A JEWELLER Q.
I am very confused about the different diamond gradings and certificates out there. Every jeweller seemstohaveadifferentcertificateandsomediamond showroomsofferonlytheirownornone.HowdoIknow what I am getting?
A. That is an excellent question and one that is not easy to
answer. There are 4C’s in diamond grading and to this I add a 5th C: Confidence in your jeweller. Always deal with a reputable, established jeweller. In Certificates there are GIA, EGL, AGS and Shahraz Kassam HRD as the most famous ones. Recently there is much talk about CEO, Shamin Jewellers EGL certificates not being as accurate. Keep in mind that the accuracy of many certificates can vary depending on where the lab is located. EGL International and EGL Israel have been noticeably lenient whereas EGL Canada has been more accurate in grading. At Shamin, we started in 1982 when jewellers sold diamonds based on their beauty and not just on their certificates. Today we still sell gorgeous diamonds at beautiful prices. Almost all of our diamonds over 1/2Ct have an International certificate but when we chose your diamonds from the world’s best cutters, we look first at the diamond then at the certificate. We recommend that you as a consumer also look at each diamond and compare them to each other before accepting a certificate at face value. Remember she will be wearing the diamond every day not the paper and some diamonds can look great on paper but not that great in reality. Come in and ask our diamond experts at Shamin to show you the differences in Cut, Clarity and Colour grades so you can be an educated consumer.

ASK A ADVERTISING ACCOUNT MANAGER
Q.
I want to promote my business in Burnaby. How do I decide howtospendmylimitedadvertisingdollars?
A: Good question! I would recommend using a multi-channel approach and tailoring the balance of your advertising spend based on the behaviours of your target audience. How Canadians consume media is constantly evolving – the use of online and mobile advertising is on the rise, and print advertising continues to be a trusted source for information. Anna Schlagintweit As a general rule, I would recommend allocating 50% of your Advertising Account budget to print advertising, 30% to online desktop advertising Manager, Burnaby Now and 20% to mobile advertising. This will help you further your reach and penetration of the market and brand your business as a forward-thinking enterprise. When you are designing the print portion of your campaign, go for a smaller ad size with multiple insertions over a large ad size running only once or twice. Advertising is all about frequency, and on average a potential customer will need to be exposed to the ad multiple times before they take action. When designing the creative, include a call to action, make sure that all the necessary contact information is included, and be consistent with images, colours and branding to develop familiarity amongst the audience, allowing you to benefit from the effects of frequency in advertising. For more information, please give us a call and the team at Burnaby Now will be happy to help you grow your business. Please submit your questions to annas@burnabynow.com

Voted Best Realtor 3rd Year in a Row ®
For Hassan Lalani, owner of Target Pharmacy Metrotown, pharmacy seems to run in his blood; both his father and grandfather were pharmacists before him. However, while it may seem like becoming a pharmacist was an obvious career path for Hassan, it was not always so. “I came home one day and told my dad that I wanted to be an actor,” said Hassan, a playful smile tugging at the corners of his eyes. “My father looked at me and said, “Hassan, why don’t you act like a pharmacist?” I have never looked back since.” With the support of his family and the inspiration he drew from seeing the positive difference that a career in pharmacy could make in the patients’ lives, Hassan studied pharmacy at the University of British Columbia and became the proud owner of the pharmacy at Target’s new Metrotown location in late 2013. In this brand new venture, Hassan still sticks by the values that he learned from his father, and is very excited to help out his patients the same way that he did. Hassan believes in putting his patients first; his personal cell phone number is on the business card that he gives out to all his patients so they can reach him at anytime of the day for any drug-related questions. If you are ever at Metropolis at Metrotown, please drop into Target Pharmacy and say hello to the friendly pharmacist.
ASK A HEARING AID PRACTITIONER
ASK A DENTIST
Q. Are x-rays really necessary? A. X-rays allow your doctor to see any underlying
issues, between the teeth and under the gums, that are not visible with the naked eye.Without them we cannot really diagnose the state of your oral health.Your doctor will usually wish to have regular Bitewing x-rays once per year to monitor any changes that might be taking Dr. Beckie place and a larger Panorex x-ray one time every 5 years. Dentist, Ocean Dental The Bitewing x-rays allow us to diagnose decay and check bone levels and the Panorex can point to much larger issues. With more complex treatments such as orthodontics or implants your doctor may request more comprehensive diagnostic tools such as a Cephlometric or ConeBeam CT Scan. We understand patients concern about radiation exposure. That is why we have moved to a digital x-ray system in 2007 that only uses about 1/10th of the amount of radiation that any of the older systems used. Our equipment is maintained on a regular basis to ensure the health and well-being of our patients and team alike. Is it time we took a closer look at what’s going on in your mouth?
ASK A FINANCIAL ADVISOR
Q. How can I recognize hearing problems? A. Most of the time hearing problems begin gradually,
without discomfort or pain. What’s more, family members often learn to adapt to someone’s hearing loss, without even realizing they are doing it. Here are some questions to ask yourself to determine whether hearing loss is present: 1. Do I often ask people to repeat themselves? Stuart Lloyd Owner, Lloyd Hearing 2. Do I have trouble following conversations with more Solutions than two people? 3. Do I have difficulty hearing what is said unless I’m facing the speaker? 4. Does it sound like other people are mumbling or slurring their words? 5. Do I struggle to hear in crowded places like restaurants, malls and meeting rooms? 6. Do I have a hard time hearing women or children? 7. Do I prefer the TV or radio volume louder than others? 8. Do I experience ringing or buzzing in my ears? If you answered yes to several of these questions, chances are you do suffer from hearing loss.

Q. My wife and I are looking to sell
our vacation home. Will we owe any taxes and can we claim any exemptions or deductions?
A. When you sell capital property for a profit, a capital
gain will result. Your principal residence is exempt from any capital gains during your lifetime. If you and your spouse have ever owned two personal-use homes during the same period – i.e. your “city home” and your “vacation home” – then at least some of the capital gains on one will be subject to taxation. If applied properly, the principal residence exemption can result in significant tax savings. Brent Vandekerckhove
Financial Advisor, Investors Group
You may be able to claim either property as your principal residence. A common misconception is that you can only designate the property you’ve actually lived in year-round as your principal residence. It is actually possible to designate a vacation property as your principal residence in order to receive tax savings as long as it was not primarily an income producing property to you. You do not have to designate any property as your principal residence until you actually sell a property and want to claim the exemption. These issues can be complex. If you are contemplating the sale of properties and would like to maximize your tax savings, or are simply looking for financial planning advice, I would be happy to help.

Car advice for parent of aspiring new driver CLICK & CLACK TALK CARS Ray & Tom Magliozzi
Dear Tom and Ray: So, my 19-year-old daughter will not get her driver’s license. She has taken the test and failed “maneuverability” (parallel parking). So far, this hasn’t been that big of an issue because at college she can get someone else to drive her places, walk or ride her bike. She attends school only an hour from home, so it isn’t a big deal to come get her for a weekend or drive her back. However, this summer we are moving to England, and she is going to have to get her license in order to be able to get around. I would like to get her a small car (that way, she might pass the parallelparking portion) that is safe
(in case she is in an accident) and that is reliable. Can you give me some suggestions? — Lari TOM: Tell her not to feel bad, Lari. Our sister has been driving for 40 years and, several times a day, she still fails the parallel-parking test. RAY: There are two schools of parenting thought, Lari. And they’re well represented by me and my brother. TOM: Right. I would say, at age 19 or 20, let “not driving” be her problem. Let necessity create the motivation for her, or not. RAY: That school of parenting would say she’s an adult now, and if she doesn’t want to learn how to parallel park and get her license, then when you’re gone, she can figure out how to get herself around. Or stay in one place. TOM: Right. Not your problem. She’ll figure it
either of you has ever left the vehicle while it was still moving, slammed the door and walked home), consider finding a reputable driving instructor and hiring him or her to give your daughter some lessons. TOM: Another thing you can do is help her find a car that she likes and feels comfortable in. You’ll have to include her in the process, and do some car shopping with her and see what she feels is manageable or “cute,” rather than intimidating. RAY: If you’re buying a new car, or a recentvintage car, almost any of them will be relatively safe. They all have lots of air bags and stability control, and are far more protective of the occupants in a crash than older cars were. They’re more reliable, too. TOM: So one distinguishing characteristic
out. RAY: And then there’s my school of parenting. As compared with my brother’s approach, I would call it the parenting-oriented school of parenting! TOM: OK, sure. RAY: You and I are on the same page, here, Lari. I agree that you should help your daughter avoid boundaries that may limit her options later in life. So the question becomes: How can you best help her get her license? TOM: One approach is to try a non-parental driving instructor. Learning to drive can be very stressful, and having a parent, who is already on your case for everything, sitting next to you and panicking every time you twitch your right foot can make learning even harder. RAY: So, if driving lessons tend to be stressful for the two of you (i.e., if
I’d look for, in addition to size, is good visibility. We find that one of the greatest challenges new drivers (and the rest of us) face is not being able to tell where the edges of the car are. That problem has increased dramatically over the past decade as high trunks have come into fashion. RAY: You’re talking about cars, right? TOM: One car we like for its visibility is the Subaru Forrester, which has large windows and a relatively boxy shape. That makes it pretty easy to see out of and maneuver. The idea is, you want her to at least be able to see the garbage cans before she backs over them. RAY: The other advantage of something like a Forrester is that it’s got all-wheel drive, which will be a great advantage in the winter if she’s living in the snow belt.
TOM: Some other cars you might look at are a Honda Fit, Civic or CR-V, a VW Golf or a Subaru Impreza. But you’re going to have to go sit in some cars with her to see what makes her feel calm and in control behind the wheel. RAY: And hopefully, once she has a car she feels in control of and a teacher who didn’t potty-train her, she’ll be able to take the next step and get her driver’s license. TOM: And then, instead of worrying about her ability to get herself around while you’re in England, you can worry about where the heck she is all the time. Good luck, Lari!

Burnaby Rocked by Victoria juniors Tom Berridge
sports editor
The Burnaby juniors took their lumps with backto-back losses to the surging Victoria Shamrocks last week. The junior A Lakers fell 12-7 in Victoria on Saturday and then lost 187 in a scrappy B.C. Junior Lacrosse League affair at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre on Father’s Day. “We just got to keep working hard. It doesn’t matter what the score is,” said Burnaby’s firstyear transition Anthony Quatrano, who had a pair of goals in the game. The men in black blew up nearly 200 minutes in penalties, more than 130 of them to the home Lakers, despite a level of aggressiveness that was anything but one-sided. In Victoria, Burnaby outshot the home team 51-36 but a six-goal second period for the ’Rocks proved the difference in the overall outcome. Tyler Kirkby led the Lakers with two goals and two assists. Justin Appels also potted a pair of counters. At home, Victoria took advantage of their time on the extra man, slotting seven goals on the power play, three of them coming in what appeared to be a runaway 7-3 first period. Under-age junior Tyler Vogrig tallied a pair of first-period goals, including his first shorthanded marker. But Burnaby stuck to

The future: Burnaby Lakers rookie righthander Tyler Vogrig potted his 10th goal of the season with his first shorthanded junior A goal in an 18-7 loss to the Victoria Shamrocks on Sunday. its systems, narrowing the deficit to 9-8 on four straight goals by Randy Jones. Victoria answered with a pair of shorties a minute apart and a third on a break to close the second period. The final period went quickly downhill.
The twin losses left the junior Lakers in seventh place, two points up on last-place Port Coquitlam. It gets no easier for the 3-11-1 Burnaby club this week as the Lakers jump out of the pot and into the fire, taking on New Westminster in a rare Thursday game at
Queen’s Park Arena at 8 p.m. Burnaby then hosts the Coquitlam Adanacs at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre on Sunday at the usual time of 7 p.m.
Game day
The much awaited second game against the two junior A league jugger-
nauts New Westminster and Coquitlam takes place today (Wednesday) at the Coquitlam Sports Centre. Face off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. New Westminster won the opening game of the three-game season series 11-5 at Queen’s Park Arena on May 27.
WLA Lakers fall to .500 in weekend play Tom Berridge sports editor
Matching bigs for bigs was a tall order for Burnaby against the visiting Victoria Shamrocks. The senior A Lakers stood toeto-toe with the as-yet unbeaten Victoria Shamrocks before surrendering a 13-10 decision to the Western Lacrosse Association league leaders at home last Friday. On Sunday, the Lakers fell 12-8 in Maple Ridge. Junior callup Connor Goodwin potted a hat trick for the Burrards. Curtis Dickson led all scorers with three goals and three assists. The losses left Burnaby tightly bunched with the remainder of the seven-team league with a
fourth-place 3-3-0 record. In Burnaby, the Lakers took an early 2-1 first-period lead on Ilija Gajic’s first of three goals. The two teams swapped the lead on five further occasions until Scott Jones tied the contest for the seventh time of the night 9-9 midway through the third period. That appeared to be the spark that Victoria needed, as Rhys Duch collected the go-ahead tally with his fourth goal of the game and Scott Ranger increased the lead with his second of the game. Cory Small, who had a game-high 10 points for the visitors, was in on three of the counters. The Shamrocks big three collected 23 points between them, including eight goals. “They are three of the best
players in the world. It’s a challenge for any team,” said Burnaby righthander Tyler Digby, who led the Lakers with four goals. “They were able to make a couple more plays. They beat us in that way. I don’t think we were disappointed in the way we played.” Indeed, few could argue Digby’s assertion. Burnaby held the lead three times in the first period and led 4-3 very late in the period before Duch tied it up with his second of the game. In the middle frame, the Lakers came back from two one-goal deficits to take on a 7-6 lead on back-to-back markers two minutes apart by Digby. The big righthander also
brought Burnaby back to within a single goal late in the period on a power-play setup by fellow righty Alex Gajic, who had five assists in the game for the Lakers. With the win, Victoria To view improved its record to 6a video, 0-1, three points up on scan current runner-up Maple with Ridge. Layar Burnaby was without key starters Matt Beers Justin Salt and Robert Church. “It shows that a lot of work has to be done. Every game is big in this league. It’s tough, it’s a lot about process, too,” Digby added. Burnaby is in Langley today (Wednesday), before returning home for a rematch with the Burrards on Friday at 7:45 p.m.
Fraser Valley defended its regional McKechnie Cup title following a 17-14 victory over the Vancouver Rugby Union. Fraser Valley, which draws its representative players from Lower Mainland clubs including Burnaby Lake Rugby Club, remained undefeated in inter-union play since the McKechnie Cup was reinstituted in 2013. Burnaby Lake players figured in all of the scoring for Fraser Valley. Scrum half Cody Rockson scored the gamewinning try, taking the ball from the base of a scrum and darting over the try line from 22 metres out. Fly half Geoff Ryan converted the ensuing convert to give Fraser Valley its second straight cup and third overall. Jeke Gotegote also tallied a try for the winners, while Ryan tacked on a second conversion and a three-point penalty goal. “During the last 20 minutes there was a feeling that we had the game. Our defence was solid and (Vancouver) couldn’t get past us,” said Burnaby Lake and Fraser Valley head coach Kris de Scossa in a B.C. Rugby press release. Vancouver led 7-3 at the half, but could not close out the win for what would have been the union’s first cup title since 2001. “We stuck to it and never doubted that we were going to come back,” added de Scossa. “It was really nip and tuck all the way through.” The cup competition was used as a final selection for B.C. Rugby’s 125th anniversary tour to South America next month. Earlier, Vancouver Island clinched the women’s Ruth Hellerud-Brown Cup with a 43-20 win over Vancouver back on June 7. Vancouver won the under-20 men’s Dunbar Cup.

SFU football moving to Swangard Stadium Simon Fraser University football will be calling Swangard Stadium home again for the 2014 season. The Clan will play six home varsity football games at the Central Park stadium this fall. “Swangard Stadium is a great venue for our student-athletes to compete in and for our fans to enjoy great football in,” said senior director of athletics and recreation Milton Richards in a Clan media release. “It’s another example of how we at Simon Fraser University are serious about engaging our community. We hope we can spend the next several years at Swangard, while the Build SFU project is completed.” SFU will host two
games in September, one in October and three more in November. The 2014 season will mark the Clan’s third season as a full member of the NCAA, and one that sees a new head coach and alumnus Jacques Chapdelaine, with a Vanier Cup and three Grey Cups as a coach, try to add an NCAA Division II title to his resumé. “Swangard Stadium certainly has a rich history of hosting SFU athletic events,” said Chapdelaine in the release. “I think playing at Swangard will give us an opportunity to engage more with the community. I have fond memories of my playing days at Swangard, and I know the atmosphere that can be created at an event there. We plan to recreate
that atmosphere this fall.” Two new opponents will visit Burnaby this season. The Menlo Oaks will play in SFU’s home opener in a non-conference game on Sept. 6, while the South Dakota School of Mines Hardrockers – new to the Great Northwest Athletic Conference – will also visit Swangard. All home games will be played at 1 p.m., except for the home opener against Menlo, which will kick off at noon. The Clan will also travel to Idaho to face off against Div. I Idaho State Bengals in the 12,000 seat Holt Arena on Oct. 11. Tickets can be ordered now by emailing tickets@ sfu.ca.
