SFU gets money to help reduce emissions After paying the provincial government almost $2 million since 2010 to offset its carbon emissions, Simon Fraser University will get back $195,000 this year to make its Burnaby campus more energy-efficient. The funds were announced this month in a Ministry of Advanced Education press release that said the government will pay B.C. colleges and universities $3.8 million under its Carbon Neutral Capital Program

tonnes. The funds hardly compare to the $2 million SFU has paid in carbon offsets since 2010, when the government – in a bid to become carbon neutral – decided all public sector institutions would have to start paying $25 a tonne for their annual CO2 emissions. (That money was to be pooled by the oft criticized Pacific Carbon Trust – a Crown corporation folded into the environment ministry last year – and used to invest in green programs that help offset

pollution.) Despite the relatively small size of the SFU grant announced Wednesday, SFU development sustainability manager Wendy Lee is happy the university is getting any money at all to help make its facilities more energy-efficient. “What they are doing is at least creating a little bit of program funding,” she told the NOW. “We’ve been lobbying hard for something, just in terms of, like, you can’t continue to punish us without creating SFU Page 4

this year for projects that reduce energy costs, demonstrate clean technology and lower carbon emissions. About $170,000 has been earmarked for SFU for five new high-efficiency boilers that will save the university a combined $19,900 a year on energy costs and cut CO2 emissions by just over 100 tonnes. Another $25,000 will go toward a $450,000 project to upgrade the education building envelope – work that will save the university $3,240 per year on energy costs and reduce CO2 emissions by 18

5 Stabbing on SkyTrain

The 2014 Celebration of Light wasn’t such a great occasion for a Surrey man who was stabbed on an eastbound SkyTrain in Burnaby. According to Transit Police, the 40-year-old victim, who was returning from downtown Vancouver with his girlfriend, got into an argument with a trio of young men around

1:40 a.m. on Sunday near the Edmonds SkyTrain station. One man pulled a knife and stabbed him in the arm before the three men fled the train. Two of the men were promptly arrested and released after questioning, but the third man – believed to be the one who stabbed the victim – got away. The victim was transported to hospital and received five stitches. The knife was later recovered. Police are still looking for the suspect,

described as a white male in his early to mid20s, 5-8 to 5-9 and 150 pounds with wavy brown hair cut shorter on one side. He was wearing a black T-shirt and black cargo shorts at the time. While there were other people on the SkyTrain, no witnesses have come forward. Anyone with information is asked to call Transit Police at 604-515-8300 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) if they wish to remain anonymous.

Cops nab suspected ‘breakout’ thief RCMP say man made off with $100,000 worth of merchandise Cayley Dobie staff reporter

A shoplifter Mounties allege stole $100,000 worth of merchandise from department stores across the Lower Mainland is behind bars thanks to the Burnaby RCMP’s Strike Force. Dubbed a “breakout” thief by Burnaby RMCP, the suspect would remain inside the store after closing and, once everyone was gone, would break out with a considerable amount of stolen merchandise, according to Burnaby RCMP’s monthly report for May and June.

The suspect had been allegedly robbing Bay and Sears department stores throughout the Lower Mainland since January, getting away with $100,000 worth of merchandise, the report added. On April 25, Burnaby Mounties received a call from security at Lougheed Town Centre that a suspicious man was lurking inside the Bay. Security told police they believed it was the same man who had robbed other Lower Mainland stores and so, according to the report, Burnaby Strike Force was sent to the scene. When officers arrived, they conducted surveillance of the store with the help of mall security and observed the suspect remaining in the Bay after closing. He was then seen on

camera stealing two suitcases and filling them up with colognes and perfumes from the fragrance section, the report detailed. According to police, the suspect proceeded to walk out of the Bay with the two suitcases filled with $18,000 worth of colognes and perfumes. Officers arrested him on sight. The following day, a search warrant was executed on the suspect’s home. According to the report, numerous items of clothing and perfume boxes were seized, believed to be stolen items from previous thefts across the Lower Mainland. The suspect was charged with multiple counts of break-and-enter and is now awaiting trial. twitter.com/cayleydobie

some means for us to – and the shortage has always been about capital – to access those energy-efficiency opportunities.” Before March of this year, universities and health authorities paid carbon offsets but did not, like school districts, receive any funding for energy-efficiency upgrades. Lee said SFU has managed to cut its CO2 emissions by about 2,500 tonnes per year since 2007 through energy management and community awareness campaigns, but there are limits to such initiatives, especially at the university’s older Burnaby campus. So Lee welcomed the Carbon Neutral Capital money, but she and her counterparts on the Carbon Neutral Higher Education Committee would like to see the government explore a revolving-fund model, in which government would provide seed money to start a fund and then, as emission reductions occurred, universities (and other public institutions) would repay the fund out of energy savings, making the program self-sustaining. “Rather than just paying it out and it just disappears,” Lee said. Lee said SFU doesn’t oppose the ultimate goals of the carbon neutral government program. “It aligns with our goals,” she said, “so it’s not that we’re trying to fight against it. It really is just the fact that unless you’re actually creating a means to get there, it’s just penalizing without assisting us.”

Burnaby couple Cops bust ‘dial-a-dope’ line killed in crash Cayley Dobie staff reporter

Two local residents were killed when their car went off the highway near Revelstoke, B.C. Coroners Service announced last Wednesday. Around 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, July 20, husband and wife Tang Sing Ling, 75, and Lai Hing Wong, 74, were driving eastbound about seven kilometres west of Revelstoke when their minivan veered off the highway and hit “a large dirt embankment,” stated a press release. According to the coroners service, Wong was pronounced dead at the scene and Ling was flown by air ambulance to Kelowna General Hospital, where he died the following day. The couple’s car was the only vehicle involved in the crash and both the coroner and RCMP traffic services continue to investigate the incident, added the release. –Cayley Dobie

A dial-a-dope line running in South Burnaby was disconnected recently following a three-month investigation by Burnaby RCMP. Together with officers from the prolific offender suppression team, criminal intelligence section, investigational support team and a school liaison officer, Burnaby’s drug section executed three search warrants

on homes allegedly associated with a South Burnaby dope line. According to the detachment’s May/June monthly report, the three search warrants were executed on homes in Burnaby, one in the 7000 block of 14th Avenue, a second in the 7000 block of 21st Avenue and a third in the 7000 block of Rosewood Street. The warrants resulted in the arrest of six men, added the report. While searching the homes, police

seized large quantities of drugs and drug paraphernalia, including cocaine, crack cocaine, heroin, marijuana, cash, drug packaging materials and scales. According to the report, police also found several weapons, including an AK47 magazine, a Glock .40-calibre magazine and a bulletproof vest. Charges for trafficking and possession for the purpose of trafficking against all six suspects are still pending as the investigation is ongoing.

Man stabbed

A Burnaby man was arrested last week for stabbing another city resident. According to Burnaby RCMP, the victim was visiting the suspect’s home in the 7100 block of 17th Avenue at about 10:15 p.m. on July 22 when a “dispute occurred and the victim was stabbed.” Mounties say the victim then left the home and called 911 from a pharmacy in the 4800 block of Kingsway. Officers were sent to the suspect’s home on 17th Avenue and arrested the individual. The suspect was taken into custody to await a court appearance. The victim was taken to hospital and treated for nonlife-threatening injuries, police added. – Cayley Dobie

A pipe dream full of problems? IN THE HOUSE KEITH BALDREY

ot a week goes by, it seems, that doesn’t see Premier Christy Clark talk, yet again, about the vast riches that lay in B.C.’s path if only a liquefied natural gas industry gets off the ground in this province. It’s a theme that began before the last election, and one that helped carry her to a surprising victory with the voters. People seem to at least want to believe the fairy tale-like talk about billions of dollars coming our way, to help eliminate the provincial debt and even the sales tax. But for all the time the premier spends talking about this subject, more evidence (or at least information) turns up that reminds us all about just what a shaky roll of the dice the whole LNG gambit may prove to be. Clark is arguing that the glut of natural gas on North American markets has kept the price low, and therefore B.C. must look to other markets to make money. China, Korea and Japan all loom as potential customers of B.C.’s LNG.

To be fair, she has a point here. The steady decline in the price of natural gas in North America has meant dwindling revenues to the provincial treasury arising from royalties on gas sales, and this has been going on for several years now. Annual natural gas royalty revenues for the B.C. government peaked in 2005/06, at almost a whopping $2 billion. Back then, the price was a lofty $7.27 per gigajoule, but things have gone downhill ever since, as the shale gas revolution in the United States exploded. The revenues bottomed out at a measly $169 million in 2012/13 and are expected to hit nearly a half billion dollars or so this year, but the days of royalties generating more than a billion dollars a year appear over. And even the current estimate for this year’s revenues may be in jeopardy of being too high. Prices are lagging behind predictions of a few months ago, and even a 50-cent change in the price from what was predicted equals about $140 million in lost revenue. All of this volatility underscores the premier’s argument to find new markets. But while the price for LNG remains high in Asia, who is to say those prices will remain high when and if a B.C.-based LNG plant is up and running a few years from now? Industry Page 7

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Corrigan’s position is right on Dear Editor:

I am surprised to read some letter writers who supported the expansion of the Kinder Morgan and criticized Mayor Corrigan’s oppositions to this project. I have always been a conservative on political issues, and a supporter of the ‘big’ corporations. However, on the issues of the oil and gas, I for the first time will have to agree with the First Nations and the environmentalists. 1) These natural resources are “non-renewable.” We therefore should not export them but conserve them for our future generations. Extractions of these resources should be for the

benefits of all Canadians (west to east) so we may enjoy ‘cheaper’ gas. 2) There are beautiful housings surrounding the ‘tank farms,’ Forest Grove, Forest Hill and Glenn Abbey residential areas. These are some of the best residential areas in Burnaby. Any disasters will certainly endanger the lives and properties of the people living in those areas. One of your readers said that Mayor Corrigan is losing millions of benefits by rejecting the project. In my estimates, those millions can hardly compensate the property owners along the pipelines and tank farms as their property will be devalued and have to live in constant worry of any incident/accident/natural disaster (earthquake).

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Pipeline is bad for city continued from page 6

Now Kinder Morgan is threatening Burnaby by proposing to drill a tunnel through the mountain which will disrupt and create more danger to this entire area. I have never voted for Mayor Corrigan, but I will certainly vote for him next time and in the future. Mia Wong, Burnaby

Tories can’t be trusted now Dear Editor:

Both Patrick Keogh and Ziggy Eckardt make it sound as if it’s a given that Stephen Harper’s Reformers are going to be in a position to approve anything after the 2015 election. I was a supporter of the Conservative brand my whole adult life, but at age 67, and after what our self-appointed dictator (Stephen Harper) has done to Canada and to Canadians in general since 2011, I don’t feel I can support the Conservatives ever again, and I’m sure I am not alone, since poll after poll suggests the same thing. Canadians, including myself, made the biggest mistake in the history of Canada by turning Canada over to a corporately owned shill who could care less about Canadians and Canadian workers. Harper was elected to his faux-majority with only 39.6 per cent of the total votes

cast in the last election, and this is where our electoral system in badly broken, that it would allow that to happen. If Canadians are dumb enough to vote Conservative (Reform) in the next election, we can kiss what is left of Canada goodbye, because he will sell off what is left to foreign entities because of Stephen Harper and his corporate agenda. My thinking is that if the Conservatives are re-elected, and I hope they are not, it will not be with a majority, and at that point Harper will exit, since he will no longer have the ability to dictate, and that will kill his narcissistic personality. (“What, the people don’t love me?”) Tell you what, I have never in my life ever voted Liberal federally, but in the next federal election, I am voting for Justin Trudeau’s Liberals. Why? Simply because they are not Stephen Harper or any of his sleazy trained seals, who sit up and nod yes, whenever they are told to do so. The only Conservative that had the gumption to say no to Harper was Brent Rathgeber, and I admire him for standing up to this self-appointed dictator. When the Tea Party Republicans are praising Harper and company, we should all be very worried. Remember, Stephen Harper does not care about individual Canadians, because he is far too busy satisfying the transnational corporations who own him. Wayne McQueen, Burnaby

Industry: A troubled LNG future? continued from page 6

China recently signed a mammoth long-range deal with Russia for natural gas, and there are reports the price included in it is much lower than current prices. SFU professor and energy expert Mark Jaccard has pointed out that the Asia market can become just as volatile – and cheaper – over time as the North American one. If the Asian market price for LNG drops significantly, that alone could threaten the economic models of private companies contemplating building those proposed LNG plants in north west B.C. Another potential problem: several recent media reports have said a major New York hedge fund has bought a $1 billion stake in Apache, one of the

companies involved in a proposed LNG project in Kitimat, and is urging the company to get out of the project. According to Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal, the hedge fund managers apparently think the Kitimat project is a drain on Apache’s capital, and any potential payoff is still many years down the road. Then there is the Kitimat air shed problem. Proposed LNG plants would be clustered in a tight valley with the existing Rio Tinto smelter and perhaps even an oil refinery, which all adds up to a lot of emissions into the air over a relatively small area. The government insists the report it recently commissioned to look into the problem concluded up to four LNG plants could

operate without damaging the health of residents, if “proper measures” were taken. But Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver was quick to point out one of those recommended measures is to operate the LNG plants with electricity and not natural gas, which is something the premier has ruled out. Finally, the recent landmark Supreme Court of Canada decision on aboriginal title may throw yet another wrench into plans to lay more pipelines to carry LNG to those envisioned plants. Put it all together, and it would appear the premier’s lofty dreams of LNG riches may still be stuck in the proverbial pipe for a while yet. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

It was an eventful second quarter for firefighters in Burnaby. According to the fire report for April, May and June, the department responded to about 200 more calls compared to January, February and March of this year. The rise in incidents is due to an increase in every type of call, including vehicle fires, false alarms, rubbish and bush fires, accidental alarms, motor vehicle incidents, medical emergencies and public service calls, according to the fire report presented to council at its July 21 meeting. The total number of incidents jumped from 3,380 to 3,579 and also included a slight rise in building fires – from 104 to 116 during the second quarter of this year, added the report. Readers may recall three notable fires in the city this past quarter, the first in the backyard of a home in the 6000 block of 12th Avenue, the second in a highrise apartment building on Kingsway and the third in a low-rise on Augusta Avenue. On May 14, Sid Bottomley and his friends and family were gathered in their backyard toasting Bottomley’s move to Alberta when his father poured an accelerant on the fire. As the NOW reported, the accelerant caused the fire to explode, burning Bottomley’s father and three guests. Bottomley’s father and one guest sustained second-degree burns while the other two guests suffered third-degree burns. Burnaby assistant fire chief Lane

Blaze: A May 27 fire in this Kingsway

highrise was caused by an overloaded electrical outlet.

AAA TOP SIRLOIN

Zimmerman confirmed with the NOW that the explosion was caused by pouring accelerant on to the fire. In the case of the apartment fire at 7272 Kingsway on May 27, firefighters evacuated the entire building as they searched for the cause of the blaze, which was contained to one unit on the 12th floor. Investigators determined the fire, which destroyed the entire 12th-floor unit, was the result of an old electrical outlet overloaded with a power bar and too many extension cords, acting Capt. Jeff Wilson told the NOW at the time. Less than a month later, on June 17, firefighters were on scene of a blaze at a threestorey apartment building on Augusta Avenue. Witnesses told the NOW that two roofers had been applying tar to the roof of the apartment building when the tar caught fire.

Inside the Tin Can Studio T

he NOW caught up with Caroline Ballhorn, who runs the Tin Can Studio with Jenny Lee Craig. The two will have their mobile arts space stationed at Burnaby’s Deer Lake this summer, hosting a series of free art workshops.

Question: Can you tell me a bit about you and your partner? Answer: I’m an artist and creative facilitator with a background in printmaking, illustration and design. I love working with textiles, paper, thread and ink. I’m interested in collaboration and creativity and its relationship to community building. Jenny has a diverse interdisciplinary ON MY BEAT background that Jennifer Moreau draws from craft, performance and community engagement. … We met on a road trip to Portland in 2010, and I had just launched Tin Can Studio with my collaborator Brodie Kitchen. Jenny and I hit it off, and when Brodie decided to step away from the project, she came on to replace him. Q: How does the Tin Can Studio work? A: Tin Can Studio is a multi-purpose mobile project space housed in a converted vintage 18-foot Streamline trailer. Because it’s mobile, we can set up and run creative interventions and happenings almost anywhere, which is a big part of our project. Q: Where did you get the idea? A: I was thinking a lot about the shrinking space for creative production in Vancouver. When I met my original collaborator, artist/designer Brodie Kitchen, the idea took shape and we began to

The studio hosts free art workshops for the general public. work towards creating a project that would be able to exist in the in-between, a flexible space that we could transport as needed. Q: What kinds of workshops do you run out of the studio? A: First, as artists, we use the space as a mobile studio and hub for participatory projects. It’s been a bit of an incubator/pop-up space for us and other artists that we’ve worked with in the sense that we’ve been able to try out and test some of our ideas and see how the public responds. … Second, as creative facilitators we’re really interested in skill sharing and situations that connect people. We offer a wide range of art and craft-based workshops, from printmaking, weaving, drawing, bookbinding, embroidery, terrarium building, and more. Finally, we can be hired for special events to host any one of these workshops

for a specific group, or create custom activities and installations. We’ve done some fun projects for a wide range of clients from hosting guests for a sit-down meal, to providing a creative activity station. We’ve even transformed the space into a mobile tiki bar with a Tom Selleck shrine! Q: Where did you find the vintage trailer? A: We actually found the trailer on Craigslist! In 2009 when Brodie (my previous collaborator) and I were searching for the right vessel for our idea, we came across the posting and knew right away it was the right one. A few emails later we found ourselves driving up to Whistler to pick it up. Q: What was the most memorable experience you’ve had working with the studio?

A: To be honest my favourite project was one of the simplest – a neighbourhood open art studio on my street. It was amazing to actually meet and become friends with the people that live right around me, and somehow having this neutral space between our homes was what we needed to make that connection. We ended up creating a show together of drawings inspired by bicycles and monsters, which was pretty amazing. Q: What do you love most about running this studio? A: I love watching people get excited about what they’re making. I also enjoy seeing people meet each other for the first time, usually through the shared experience of learning something new. For the full summer schedule of the studio’s workshops at Deer Lake Park, go to www.tincanstudio.org.

e have started a new Fill in the Blanks series, which will introduce Burnaby NOW readers to a variety of interesting folks in the arts and entertainment community. Each subject fills out a short questionnaire, “filling in the blanks” to let us know about themselves. This week’s featured artist is sculptor Ron Simmer, whose new work will be on display at VanDusen Gardens (5152 Oak St.) from July 31 to Aug. 4. 1. I am a 72-year-old emeritus UBC librarian. 2. I spend my time creating crazy whimsical art from recycled material. 3. Right now I am working on a steampunk garden fountain made of tools, musical instruments and bike parts with LED blinky lights. 4. The book on my bedside table right now is Surrealism by C.

Klingsohr-Leroy. 5. Three songs you’ll find on my iPod playlist are Miles Davis’s So What, Frank Zappa’s The Gumbo Variations and Janis Joplin’s Cheap Thrills. 6. One work of art that inspires me is Hieronymus Bosch’s The Garden of Earthly Delights because he expresses an apocalyptic in view of the the human condition. 7. One artist who inspires me is Jeff Koons because he is my model of a pop artist. 8. My idea of a perfect day is kayaking down the Fraser River from Hope. 9. My favourite edible (or potable) treat is my wife Janice’s fresh blueberry torte. 10. My guilty pleasure is going to Burning Man for the seventh time. 11. My favourite vacation spot is Vargas Island

Fill

beach on the west coast of Vancouver Island. 12. My favourite thing about Burnaby is its parks, such as the foreshore park, where I walk my dog. 13. If I could sit down for coffee with anyone at all, I would choose Jon Stewart. 14. If I could live anywhere at any point in time, I would choose the ‘60s – the best of times. 15. If I could have a superpower, my superpower would be understanding women. 16. If people want to find out more about me, they can go to my websites at ronsimmer.com or artsblast.com or patscan.com.

Make the most of your festival day With gates opening at noon and the music not shutting down until 10 p.m., the Burnaby Blues & Roots Festival can be one very long day – and, as those who’ve attended past festivals know, an absolutely spectacular one. Festival organizers are offering up some tips to attendees to help ensure that everyone can enjoy their day at the festival. First and foremost, attendees are reminded not to take up more than their fair share of space and not to block other people’s views. Large tents and tarps are not allowed, nor are umbrellas or shaded canopies. Festival-goers should bring their own beach chairs or blankets – but once again, please be considerate. Chairs should be low-back style and not more than eight inches in height off the ground. Higher chairs must be placed at the back so that no one else’s view is obstructed. Blankets should be restricted to six by three feet for an individual, or six by six for a couple. But don’t worry – with the festival taking place on the beautiful Deer Lake Park lawn, there will be lots of space for dancing!

File photo by Jason Lang/burnaby now

Crowd courtesy: Low-to-the-ground lawn chairs and small blankets are the order of the day at the

Burnaby Blues & Roots Festival, so that everyone can enjoy the lawn at Deer Lake and that no one’s view of the stage is obstructed.

Need some extra help? If you’re interested in attending the Burnaby Blues & Roots Festival but you face challenges with mobility, don’t worry: the festival grounds are accessible. The park walkway is accessible to wheelchairs, and festival organizers also offer special needs seating on site. If you, or a member of your party, needs special seating arrangements, you can contact the Shadbolt centre box office at 604205-3000 to make those arrangements. Parking will be available in the surface lot at Shadbolt centre, off Deer Lake Avenue, and it can be accessed from the east end of Deer Lake Avenue at Canada Way. See www.burnaby bluesfestival.com or see the Plan Your Day listings on page 22 of this paper for more details about planning your day.

Hometown boy:

Born-andraised Burnaby resident Steve Kozak has been performing the blues for more than 30 years, but this summer is his first time on the main stage of the Burnaby Blues & Roots Festival. Kozak is kicking off the mainstage show with a set starting at 1:05 p.m. Check out page 24 for the full stage schedule.

Photo contributed/ burnaby now

Hometown boy onstage Steve Kozak has performed his style of upbeat, foot-tapping blues for 30-some years throughout B.C. He’s toured just about every blues festival in Western Canada except the one in his own backyard. Now, Kozak is finally getting his chance to play at the 15th annual Burnaby Blues & Roots Festival. “I’m really glad that they’ve invited a Burnaby boy to be part of it,” said Kozak with a chuckle. “I’ve been watching it since its inception, and it’s one I’ve always wanted to do. “In previous years, they had Burnaby Blues Week and they had bands playing at local pubs leading up to it – I got to do that for a few years, but to get to be on the main stage this year is a real thrill for me.” The lifelong Burnaby resident was raised on blues, hearing classic tunes as well as blues-inspired rock ‘n’ roll. It wasn’t long before he got his own guitar and started playing in high school. “My mom and her friends listened to some blues stuff, and I had some older cousins that did. That kind of got me exposed to it early on,” he said. “That’s what I took a liking to, and I started playing that music.” Kozak’s first taste of the genre came from musicians like blues rocker Johnny Winter, English hard rock quartet Led Zeppelin and early material from Fleetwood Mac. “I’d hear some of those songs that were on the more bluesy side and really liked that

stuff,” he said. “Then I started to delve into it a bit more and discovered Muddy Waters and Willie Dixon – the guys that actually wrote those songs.” In 1977, Kozak had the fortune to meet Waters after a performance by the legendary blues man in North Vancouver, around the time Kozak started playing guitar. “He said, ‘There’s not enough young guys playing blues anymore, so you keep at it. It’ll be hard, but just keep chipping away.’ I sort of made a promise to myself and to him at that time,” he recalled with a chuckle. That promise has led to more than three decades onstage, several albums and some national recognition for his music. “In 2013, the Toronto Blues Society awarded me New Artist of the Year – it took me 30 years to become new again,” he said with a laugh. “But that was great, it was really an honour.” But perhaps the biggest honour for Kozak is to appear on stage right here in Burnaby. Kozak credits the longevity of the Burnaby festival to the range of people who come out to Deer Lake Park year after year. “Generally, the blues crowd is more of a middle-aged crowd, but I think it appeals to a wide variety of people,” he said. “It would be nice to see more younger people getting into it, and that’s the great thing about a festival like this – it gives exposure to more people.” – Jacob Zinn

Big Sugar

Rich Hope & His Evil Doers

Main Stage 8:30-10:00pm Led by founding member Gordie Johnson, Big Sugar is renowned for their thundering live performances and has acquired a faithful fan base across Canada. Johnson is joined by Kelly “Mr Chill” Hoppe on harmonica and saxophone, Garry Lowe on bass, Stephane Beaudin on drums, and DJ Friendlyness on keyboards. Together, the band kicks out a special blend of old school R & B combined with reggae and slight country twang. Five Hundred Pounds, released in 1993, helped consolidate Big Sugar’s reputation as an outstanding live band, selling over 10,000 copies on the strength of their tour alone with little other publicity. That was followed by Hemi-Vision in 1996, which is one of the band’s most commercially successful albums and featured “Open Up Baby.” Big Sugar exemplifies a tight sound with a relaxed and seemingly effortless style.

Bettye Lavette Main Stage 5:30-6:20pm

Harpoonist & the Axe Murderer Main Stage 2:30-3:15pm Shawn “The Harpoonist” Hall and Matthew “The Axe Murderer” Rogers kick out raw and primal blues while electrifying the genre with a lightning bolt of new life. Their sound reflects a wide range of influences from Robert Johnson to Jack White, all covered in greasy, gritty soul doused with funk.

Having grown up surrounded by music during the Detroit music heyday, Bettye LaVette’s influences span the gamut from blues, country & western, and R&B as she listened to The 5 Royals, Dinah Washington, Bobby “Blue” Bland, Red Foley and more on her living room jukebox. Over her storied career, she’s toured with the likes of Ben E King, Clyde McPhatter and Otis Redding.

Westwood Stage 1:45-2:30pm Edmonton-born Rich Hope is Canadian through and through, but his blood runs blues and rock and roll. He and Adrian Mack comprise the “two-man quartet” known as the Evil Doers, and together they ignite the crowds in an explosive performance that leaves audiences around the world clamouring for more.

Matt Andersen and the Mellotones

Imelda May Main Stage 4:00-4:45pm Imelda May fell in love with rockabilly and the blues at the tender age of nine, and by 14 got her first professional gig. By 16, she was playing the clubs in Dublin, occasionally banned for being underage. Her sultry, rich voice has accompanied the likes of Eric Clapton, Chuck Berry, Lionel Richie and Van Morrison.

Born in Texas as Alejandro Rose- Garcia, Shakey Graves, as he’s known on stage, plucks a ragged sparse folk music that’s punctuated by a makeshift kick drum, giving rise to hobo folk style of music.

Garden Stage 1:45-2:30pm

Born and bred in the small, blue-collar town of Perth-Andover, New Brunswick, Matt Andersen has developed a musical style that blends soul, blues and folk with narrative style that cuts through the soul. A busy and in-demand performer, Matt takes people on a memorable ride with his diverse musical styles, skill and showmanship. In 2011, Matt won the Maple Blues Award for Entertainer of the Year and Acoustic Act of the Year. He also won top honors at the East Coast Music Association Awards for Blues Recording of the Year for Piggyback later that year.

Miss Quincy began her music career in the wild mountains of Northern BC with a knife strapped to her leg and a guitar slung over her back. She’s recorded three albums and spent the last five years touring across Canada and Europe.

Chic Gamine Westwood Stage 3:15-4:00pm

Shakey Graves Garden Stage 4:45-5:30pm

Miss Quincy

Main Stage 6:45-8:00pm

Wide Mouth Mason Westwood Stage 4:45-5:30pm Consisting of Shaun Verreault on lead vocals and guitar, Safwan Javed on vocals and drums and Gordie Johnson on vocals and bass, Wide Mouth Mason’s unique approach to jamming has earned them two invitations to the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland. They’ve also toured with the likes of AC/DC ZZ Top and The Rolling Stones.

This dynamic group from France is influenced by Motown soul, French pop, and rock and roll. Career highlights include opening for Smokey Robinson and sharing a line-up with Mavis Staples. They’ve also held the main stage at the Montreal Jazz Festival, Calgary Folk Festival, Regina Fold Festival, and California World Fest among many others.

Steve Kozak

Blind Boy Paxton

Main Stage 1:05-1:45pm

Garden Stage 3:15-4:00pm

A mainstay in Canada’s blues scene since the mid-80s, Steve Kozak performs an up-tempo brand of working man’s blues to enthusiastic audiences across the westcoast. Over the years, he’s appeared at the Edmonton International Blues Festival, Powell River Blues Festival and Pender Harbour Blues Festival.

Paxton effortlessly embodies the spirit of early musical genres such as ragtime, ‘20s jazz and Dust Bowl-era blues, and delivers all these with virtuosity on guitar, piano, banjo and fiddle. His embodiment of this earlier period is so precise it would make you believe in time travel.

Enjoy a beverage with music, dancing Unrestricted liquor licences may be brand new to most outdoor, all-ages concerts in B.C., but they’re business as usual for the Burnaby Blues & Roots Festival. Recent changes to provincial liquor laws have allowed gated, all-ages music festivals to offer alcohol anywhere onsite, rather than in a fenced area. But for the 15th annual Deer Lake Park show, serving liquor anywhere on the grounds won’t be an experiment. “For the last four or five years, we’ve kind of been a test for the B.C. Liquor Board,” said Jared Bowles of the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts. “We haven’t had a physical beer garden – the entire park has always been licensed. “(Fans) can go get a beer, a glass of wine, a cider, and then take it back into the park and hang out with their friends and family.” To avoid serving alcohol to minors, patrons are ID’d and given wristbands at the beer service area. From there, they can take their purchases from the top of the park to the front row. “You don’t have to spend the day in the back corner of the park while your friends are out in the sun. You can grab your cocktail and join the fun.” The new liquor laws also allow festivals to serve mixed drinks, though

Bowles said the blues fest will stick to its traditional selection of alcohol. “Because it’s a new offering, we’re going to check out the demand a little bit,” he said. “We’re going to continue to offer beer, cider, wine and sangria, which was something new that we offered last year. “If our guests have feedback and they’re asking for (mixed drinks), that’s something we’ll definitely look at for 2015.” In the years the festival has operated without a fenced beer garden, Bowles said they haven’t had to make changes to security, and they don’t anticipate any problems this year. “Our guests that come are just there to enjoy the show,” he said. “In the time that I’ve been here, we haven’t had any problems at all, really. We’re going to continue as status quo. “With the change in legislation, it shows that what we’ve been doing for the last couple years has been working and the government sees no issues with expanding this to other festivals.” Festival-goers should note that alcoholic beverages can not be brought on to the festival grounds, and large coolers – larger than 22 by 15 by 15 inches – are also not permitted on site. – Jacob Zinn

Water, water everywhere

If Mother Nature smiles on the festival this year – as she has for the past few festivals – then you’re going to want water. Never fear, it will be readily available on festival day. Festival-goers can bring their own commercially sealed plastic bottles of

water, as well as refillable water bottles to fill on site. However, those attending the festival should note that no glass containers or cans are allowed, and no alcoholic beverages can be brought from outside (see story above for details).

HEALTH

Tips for a more pleasant hospital stay HEALTHWISE

Dr. Davidicus Wong

f you’re admitted to a hospital, you may lose your sense of control over your own health care. You’re expected to wear a gown instead of your own clothes. Many people pop into your room unannounced, and they write notes in a chart that you can’t see. You may be given medications but not know what they are for, and sometimes, you may not know who is making decisions for you. Yet autonomy is a cornerstone of medical ethics.

Capable patients must be sufficiently informed in order to make the best decisions for their own care. When you visit a physician, nothing is done without your consent. After listening to your concerns, asking more questions and performing an examination, the physician will offer a working diagnosis and suggest some options for investigation or treatment. In order to make informed decisions, you need four key pieces of information: (1) the purpose or reason for the treatment or investigation, (2) the common side effects or risks, (3) the serious, including life-threatening, side effects or risks, and (4) alternatives to the proposed treatment or investi-

gation. Here are three keys to improving your hospital experience. 1. Stay in control. If you are capable of understanding your situation and treatment options, you should continue to make important decisions about your care in the hospital. Ask the four key questions for any proposed treatment or investigation. Ideally, you should express your wishes before you find yourself in the hospital. Consider writing an advanced medical directive. If you become ill or incapacitated, what types of treatment would you want? If you were no longer capable of making your own decisions, whom would you entrust to make decisions on your behalf? Discussing these issues

that this information could be written down for you. You should prepare your own list of questions for your doctor. Try to find out when that doctor is expected. Like the traveller forcing himself to stay awake on the plane so he won’t miss his meal, patients dread falling asleep and missing the doctor during daily rounds. I’m hoping you won’t find yourself or your loved ones in the hospital any time soon, but if you do, follow these three steps to maintain control of your care.

If it’s a doctor, what is their specialty (i.e. internal medicine, hospitalist or surgeon)? Most importantly, you need to know who is the “attending physician” or “most responsible physician.” This is the physician who is directing your care throughout your hospital stay. It is possible that this might change from day to day, which, of course, is less than ideal. 3. Set up a channel of communication with your attending physician. Some hospitals have white boards in every patient’s room indicating the plan or schedule of tests or procedures, the results of tests and the expected length of the hospital stay. If this isn’t the case, you should have a large pad of paper at your bedside so

ahead of time will make things easier for your family and will make it more likely that your wishes will be respected. 2. Know the team. There are so many people working in the hospital that many patients don’t know who is who. It doesn’t help that many health-care workers wear surgical scrubs (or “greens”) and white lab coats. What could be easier than getting up and changing from comfy pink sleeping pajamas to comfy green pyjamas? If we all did this, no one would buy pyjama jeans. You could try to read the nametags, but if you’re not sure, don’t be shy. Ask for each person’s name and their role (i.e. nurse, respiratory technician, pharmacist, dietician or doctor).

HAFI Funds Home Modifications for Disabled Man When Lorie and Walter bought their home in Port Alberni 13years ago they slowly began renovating the unfinished basement to accommodate Walter’s changing needs as his muscular dystrophy advanced. “The basement was a black hole when we moved in,” recalled Walter. “After 12 years of skimping and saving, we made the downstairs completely wheelchair accessible, except for the bathroom. It was way too small. I could only stand for about a minute and a half without collapsing in the shower stall and I could no longer pull myself out of the tub in the upstairs’ bathroom, even with Lorie’s help.” Through funding from BC Housing’s Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program, Walter and Lorie were able to work with a contractor to transform the space. A wall was removed to make room for a wheelin shower with benches, grab bars were installed, and the vanity and fixtures were relocated.

“ I just slide into the shower now,” said Walter. “I feel safer and no longer dread trying to wash myself. What was previously a dangerous chore for me is now a welcome treat.” Walter and Lorie hope to spend the rest of their lives in their home. The HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

Lakers secure second with Island wins Tom Berridge sports editor

The Burnaby Lakers finished off a successful road trip to Vancouver Island that ensured them second place in the Western Lacrosse Association. The Lakers downed the Nanaimo Timbermen 125 on Saturday after handing the first-place Victoria Shamrocks just their second defeat this season, winning 9-6 at the Q Centre on Friday. “We’re happy with a lot of things,” said Lakers head coach Rory McDade. “Our goaltending has been great the last five games. Our defence has been good and our offence has been good.” Club scoring leader Dane Stevens led the Lakers in the provincial capital, piling up seven points including a hat trick in a pivotal 4-1 third period. Robert Church had all three of his points, including a pair of goals in the game-changing final frame. Casey Jackson also had a three-point third period to finish the game with two goals and as many helpers. Tyler Richards registered 34 saves to chalk up his seventh win of the season. In Nanaimo, Burnaby ran away from the T-Men following an unanswered 6-0 third period to wrap up the runner-up spot in league play with its 11th win this season and 22nd point.

Jackson earned the firststar nod, collecting three goals and seven points. Shaun Dhaliwal also registered a hat trick in a six-point outing. Church matched Dhaliwal with a six-point night. Tyler Digby also scored a pair of goals, while Richards improved his save percentage to .800 with the win. Burnaby will close out its regular season against Coquitlam at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre on Friday. Game time is 7:45 p.m. Looking ahead, the upcoming WLA playoffs offer an interesting matchup in Round 1. Burnaby, with one of the worst home records in the league this season, will take on the Maple Ridge Burrards, a team with one of the best records at home, in the first round of playoffs. “I’m not too worried about home and away records. I’m just happy with the way we’re coming together now. It’s an intriguing series on paper,” said McDade. “Maple Ridge has a strong defence – one of the biggest and hardest hitting. We definitely will have to use our speed and keep attacking them.” In other WLA action, New Westminster secured its position in the post season following a 9-5 win over the Adanacs in Coquitlam on Saturday. New Westminster will play Victoria in its firstround playoff matchup.

Racer on podium streak Tom Berridge

Sports car racer Michael Valiante is riding a four-race podium streak in the IMSA Tudor United SportsCar championships. Valiante and co-driver Richard Westbrook finished among the top three for a fourth consecutive race in the Daytona Prototype division, following a third-place finish at the Brickyard Grand Prix at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indiana on Saturday.

The finish left the Spirit of Daytona Racing team just 11 points back in the overall driver’s standings behind co-leaders Joad Barbosa and Christian Fittipaldi, who took the checkered flag in the race in the Action Express Racing team’s No. 5 Corvette on the 2.435-mile circuit. Valiante opened the race in third place and remained in podium contention through a long stint before handing the No. 90 Visit Florida Corvette over to Westbrook on the 67th lap of the 108-lap race. “We were close,” said Valiante

in an online press release. “(We) wanted to make sure we got on the podium today because we didn’t think we had the car to win. We achieved that goal, but we are going to have to roll off the truck better the next couple of rounds if we want to contend for a championship. … We want to be back on top.” Next up for the team is the Road America event at Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin in two weeks time.

Burnaby midgets mine gold at provincial B finals Tom Berridge sports editor

A large core group of the Burnaby midget lacrosse team ended their minor lacrosse careers as winners. The Burnaby Lakers defeated their league nemesis Vancouver 6-5 in the gold-medal final at the B.C. Lacrosse provincial B championships at the Rod Brind’Amour Arena in Campbell River on Sunday.

Tied 4-4 late in the game, Burnaby’s Mack Burns scored the game-winning goal with 1:48 left on the clock. Burns, who was later named the game and overall provincial tournament MVP in the B division, scored the gold-medal winner with a diving shot into the crease. “It was a really tight game,” said Lakers’ head coach James Lego. “Actually, (Vancouver) beat us every single time we played in

the regular season.” But at the provincials, after three straight losses to Vancouver in league play, it was Burnaby’s time to shine. The Lakers opened with an 8-3 win over Campbell River, but later lost 5-4 in overtime to Coquitlam on July 25. On Saturday, Burnaby got back on the win-wagon, downing Quesnel 10-3 and Prince George 10-5 to earn a berth into the goldmedal final.

Burnaby goalie Nick Hamilton, a pickup from Surrey at the beginning of the season, was named the Lakers’ game MVP against Quesnel and the team’s Fairplay winner. “It was pandemonium,” Lego said, describing his team following the final whistle in the championship final. “The entire half of the floor was littered with stuff. It was cool.” Two years ago, Lego took a bantam C team from Burnaby to

the provincials, where it finished fifth. What was nice about this opportunity was the fact that 14 of Burnaby’s 20 players were in their graduating year, added Lego. “This is the way for them to graduate on top,” he said. “We were the only boys’ team (from Burnaby) to make it to the provincials. It’s great for the club that we’re still being competitive.”

SPORTS BRIEFS

Runner 12th at world juniors Tom Berridge sports editor

Raquel Tjernagel was the fastest Canadian in the women’s 200 metres at the IAAF World junior track and field championships. The New Westminster sprinter set a new B.C. open and native women’s youth record of 23.75 in the 200m, smashing Krysha Bailey’s 14-year-old record mark of 24 seconds flat. Tjernagel’s pending record time also obliterated her own previous best time of 24.21 and advanced the Coquitlam Cheetahs club runner to the semifinals, following a third-place finish in the qualifying heats at the world juniors in Eugene, Oregon on the weekend. “It was amazing,” said Tjernagel’s coach Tara Self. “We went down to watch and she ran a phenomenal race. It was at the right place and the right time. To be able to go into that environment and perform exceedingly well is outstanding.” Tjernagel was later elim-

inated in the semifinals of the 200m following a sixthplace finish in her heat, despite a second straight sub-24-second effort at the worlds. In that semi, Tjernagel clocked a quick 12th-best overall time of 23.90 in the opening heat against the best 19-and-under athletes from more than 212 competing countries. Due to Tjernagel’s age, the 16-year-old will be able to compete again at the world juniors in two years time. “In Oregon, the weather was great. She knew she had a good run in her,” Self added. “We expect big things from her in the future. If she is 12th this year, what’s in store for her in two years time?” Leya Buchanan of Canada also failed to move on after a 24.17 fifth-place clocking in Heat 2. Burnaby’sZionCorralesNelson, who was running for the Philippines at the worlds, missed qualifying in the opening heats, placing fifth in Heat 4 in a time of 24.34.

Gold wins gold:

STEAK & PRAWNS STEAK & LOBSTER

It’s obviously a viewpoint that is working.

$27

To thank their loyal clientele for four decades in Burnaby, Harry and wife Irma are celebrating this auspicious milestone with monthly specials all-year round. As soon as you walk into Little Billy’s Steakhouse and catch of waft of Mediterranean and Italian cuisine, you instantly know you are in for a special evening of culinary delights. As one of the longest running restaurants in the city, Little Billy’s Steakhouse is at once an intimate dining rendezvous for two and ideal for a gathering of friends, business associates or family. In 2007, a fire destroyed Little Billy’s. Seven years ago, undeterred and with loyal clientele and friends urging him to reopen, Harry did just that in his present location. There’s an air of elegance in a modern-style steakhouse – with the crisp white linen, beautiful leather seats and the rich, warm wood paneling.

Specials come with all the ﬁxings! THESE SPECIALS AVAILABLE FOR THE ENTIRE MONTH OF AUGUST! LITTLE BILLY’S STEAKHOUSE
