A hoop worth fighting for

City wants to remove neighbourhood’s basketball hoop – but they’re fighting to save it

It looks like any other basketball hoop you might see in your neighbourhood.

The kind of hoop that someone like Lebron James or former Canadian NBA star Steve Nash might have used to hone their skills growing up.

Standing at the end of Pandora Street in Capitol Hill, in an alley overlooking the city all the way to downtown Vancouver, you would almost miss the old metal basketball hoop unless you were looking for it.

But the City of Burnaby hasn’t missed it, and much to the chagrin of at least one local parent, officials want to take it down permanently.

Jana Thorn lives on Pandora and just a stone’s throw from the old hoop.

Her kids use the hoop on a regular basis, along with other people in the neighbourhood.

As she describes it, the basketball hoop is where her community gathers.

Thorn doesn’t know who put it there or how long it’s been there, but she was surprised when she came home last Friday to find a note stuck to the hoop. It said the net was in violation of the city’s street and traffic bylaws.The note also said it would be removed and disposed of by city crews.

Thorn said she talked to a city employee who told her the hoop was deemed a danger because a car could drive into it at night, since the alley isn’t well lit.

But the Burnaby mom isn’t buying the reason.

“It’s not a burden to anyone that comes down the alley,” she told NOW, suggesting this situation is more about the city trying to flex its muscles.

“There really is no good reason for it Continued on page 8

A Burnaby independent school is ramping up supervision while police investigate an attempted child luring outside the school.

St. Helen’s Elementary School sent a notice to parents Friday afternoon after an eight-year-old student at the school was allegedly approached by an older man who offered her candy and tried to grab her hand.

The girl refused and ran This is a good back to her parents, who were opportunity around a corfor parents ner at the school playground, not to talk to kids more than 50 about being metres away, acsafe cording to St. Helen’s principal Waldemar Sambor.

He said the girl didn’t tell her parents about the encounter, which happened at about 3:25 p.m., until the drive home.

“In cases like that, sometimes kids feel that maybe it’s their fault for whatever reason, because they ran away from the parents,” Sambor said.

The girl’s parents notified the school and called 911.

Other parents at the school have since volunteered to provide extra supervision around the school, according to Sambor.

“It’s a pretty stressful time for them,” he said. “We gave them a short little course and we put them on the playground.”

To allay the fears of students who have heard news reports about the incident, Sambor said Burnaby RCMP will visit the school this week to provide kids with safety tips.

Police have said they are making good progress on the case, according to Sambor, but haven’t provided details.

Newsnow ‘NO JOB LOSSES’

Concrete plant shutting down Kask Bros. had operated in Burnaby for more than 70 years

By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

A longtime Burnaby industrial operation is shutting its doors.

Lafarge Canada has confirmed to the NOW, as of this week, it is closing the Kask Bros. concrete operations in Burnaby, located on Barnet Highway.

A statement from Lafarge Canada’s director of communications, Jennifer Lewis, said operations from the facility will be moved to the company’s Port Mann and Harbour plants.

“All employees will be transferred to other locations,” the statement said.

“There are no job losses as business is brisk and the Kask employees have a strong family and safety culture that is important to our customers and the community.”

She noted the move comes as Lafarge studies

how it can best serve customers given the “evolving road network in the area.”

Asked for a further explanation, Lafarge said: “In terms of the road network, we look at how our trucks move around the entire Lower Mainland to deliver to customers, so things like the Port Mann Highway 1 improvement, the Fraser Perimeter Road project and soon to commence, Massey Tunnel replacement all impact our logistics.”

While the facility is not currently for sale, Lafarge said it is studying options for the site’s future and involving local stakeholders in the process.

Coun. Sav Dhaliwal said he wasn’t aware of the closure, or any interest or plans the city had with the property.

“That seems to be the way things are going where businesses are being consolidated by larger compa-

Council ponders how to stop pay-for-blood businesses

An abandoned driving range in North Burnaby is not much more than a pile of rubble following a fire that investigators are treating as suspicious.

Fire crews were called out to the former Hastings Golf Centre driving range at the corner of Hastings Street and Kensington Avenue, around 4 a.m. Monday for a report of a fire.

By the time the fire department arrived, smoke and flames were already burning a couple of the structures on the property.

Burnaby fire Capt. Dean Thomas said a second alarm was called, and crews went into a defensive mode to keep the fire from spreading to the Shell oil refinery down the street.

However, he noted, the refinery and nearby structures were not in any danger.

It’s one business that’s not going to get the welcome mat in Burnaby, at least not by local politicians.

Earlier this month, the province’s health minister Terry Lake said he would consider a pay-for-plasma clinic to operate in B.C. On Monday, several councillors offered their opposition to the idea, and any plan for a clinic to set up shop in the municipality.

Coun. Nick Volkow said he would like to see the city come up with a bylaw or zoning that would ban them from the city.

He suggested allowing people to get paid for donating blood would be a slippery slope and could lead to organ donation for money, as an example.

“I equate them to all kinds of other businesses I’d rather not see in our city,

“We wouldn’t really have cared about the structure burning because it was a lost cause, they just wanted to keep it from extending to anything else,”Thomas said.

By Monday afternoon, crews were still on site cleaning up.

The blaze is considered suspicious since the building was vacant, with both the

fire department and Burnaby RCMP investigating.

“It’s going to be a very difficult building to investigate because it’s very dangerous, it could collapse at any time,”Thomas said.

While no one was injured and no one was found inside at the time of the fire, there is evidence that Continued on page 5

William Kask Sr. bought the land in 1925, and workers from the nearby Barnet

like payday loan companies, massage parlours and all that kind of thing,” he told the NOW. “It just doesn’t ring right with me.”

Coun. Paul McDonell noted the tainted blood scandal from years ago and argued people donating for money may not be truthful about the conditions they have.

“If they need the money they’ll do it,” he said.

But ultimately, there may be little the city can do to stop a clinic from opening in Burnaby.

Mayor Derek Corrigan was quick to remind council the city can’t prohibit a legal industry.

Instead, he said there’s ample room for citizens for to discuss whether they agree with the idea or not.

While Corrigan said the system is under greater pressure, he encouraged people to go out and donate blood.

“Anybody who is young

and not donating blood, they are not doing everything they can to be a good citizen,” he said, adding he was proud to be a blood donor when he was younger.

In an op-ed, Lake said British Columbia already gets about 80 per cent of its supply from the United States, where donors are paid for blood products.

“In fact, the majority of the world’s supply of plasma product comes from paid donors,” the op-ed reads.

“Without this system, there would be severe shortages of products for patients who need them.”

Canadian Plasma Resources recently opened a facility in Saskatoon and is considering expanding out West.

But NDP health critic Judy Darcy is calling it a “bad idea,” arguing it goes against the Krever Inquiry, which examined the tainted blood scandal of the 1980s.

City now A teachable moment at city fire Dear Editor I am writing to publicly express my thanks to the RCMP and the Burnaby firefighters for all of their work in managing the fire that occurred yesterday (Monday, April 11) morning at the old Hastings Golf Centre. Our family lives only two blocks away from the location of the fire, and when we woke up to discover that a two-alarm fire with 30 metre flames had been blazing two blocks from our home between a gas station and an oil storage facility, the relief and gratitude to the members of our firefighters brigade was overwhelming.

Our appreciation only increased, as when on our morning walk, my two daughters and I stopped to take a look at the firefighters still dousing the hot spots at the fire site, and had a wonderful exchange with two members of the RCMP investigation unit. We homeschool our daughters, and they are currently doing a unit on forensic science. The two female RCMP members were clearly busy, but were kind enough

to stop for a few moments to answer our daughters’ questions about what they were doing.

Upon returning home, my nine year-old said to me thoughtfully, “You know, Mum, women can do a lot of jobs that people don’t think

they can do. Like be firefighters or police officers. Women can do anything.” Now, that’s what I call a successful day of home schooling. Thank you firefighters for your protection, and RCMP for your inspiration.

Squatters have used site Continued from page 3 squatters had been using some of the vacant buildings on the property at some point.

A second, smaller building, the size of a house, also sits on the property and was covered in graffiti and garbage, but it didn’t appear to be damaged from the fire.

While Thomas said he wasn’t sure if anyone was in any of the buildings prior to the fire, he said the driving range had been the site of a previous fire caused by squatters.

Just down the street at Saveco Sports, owner Vince Fazio said there are a few homeless people who fre-

quent the area.

He said the driving range property has been empty for at least five years and has been a point of speculation for some sort of redevelopment, like a hotel.

“People don’t even know anything is there,” he told the NOW. He said he’d like to see something done with property.

According to the city, the owners of the driving range, who are listed as a numbered company out of Vancouver, cancelled the business licence in the fall of 2011, while a restaurant on the property was operated for a short time after.

Since 2012, the city received three complaints about the property for being unsightly, with the last coming from 2014. No fines were ever issued.

Clayton Hall, Burnaby’s manager of licensing and regulatory bylaws, said he’s not sure what will happen to the property now, but he expects the city to work with the owner to make sure while vacant, it remains secure and clean.

“Eventually, if the property remains unsightly, once again we’ll reach out to the property owner and try and figure out the intentions are of the property,” he said.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

This meal plan is highly overrated Last week The Globe and Mail did several stories on Premier Christy Clark and her private fundraising dinners.

These are the events where folks pay $10,000 or more to break bread and get up close and personal with our premier.

Now, perhaps, we’ve become inured to the ways of government, but we almost shrugged and said, “So tell us something that would surprise us.”

The Liberals represent business, and business understands that you have to pay for everything. Paying for a chance to whisper in the Premier’s ear seems to be par for the course.

Businesses hire lobbyists and those lobbyists (usually former politicians) also understand that lobbying means making your case again and again. Businesses and organizations donate to political parties to remind those parties that they not

only have a stake in the government’s policies, but that the government has a stake in the businesses’ and organizations that pay taxes.

And, to be clear, the NDP does not have clean hands in this type of fundraising either.

NDP leader John Horgan says he attends his own fundraisers – a recent one being a $2,000-a-plate event with 30 individuals.

Under the current disclosure legislation neither party

has to say what individuals were at which fundraising dinners.Those donations are lumped in with the other disclosures.

Critics have said this allows people to secretly gain exclusive access to the Premier.Well, yes, it does. But, honestly, do we really think the Premier is not aware of who are the very large donors to her and her party? Do we think the folks who turn up for the dinners aren’t already on her “best

friends” list? And do we, as the media, think those big donors have more influence over a cocktail than they do writing a big fat cheque and making a phone call afterwards? Most of the time these fundraisers are a way of making the donors feel like they’re important folks posing with the premier for a photo they can put on their office desk.

It’s true, we always want to know more details. And we’re always for more trans-

parency everywhere. And, yes, we think the new bill that would disclose dinner donor names would be interesting and much-appreciated grist for more stories.

But who are we fooling to suggest that disclosing who’s willing to pay big bucks to nosh with Clark or Horgan will reveal much more than we already know.

COMMENT ON THIS AT

Burnabynow.com

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

The NDP may sabotage itself The B.C. NDP always faces a tough, uphill struggle to get elected, and some moves by the federal wing of the NDP may make that hill even steeper.

Dumping Thomas Mulcair as federal leader necessitates a leadership race.

The good news for the B.C. NDP is that the vote won’t happen for two years, but the bad news is that a leadership race sucks resources, money and energy out of other party activities. By next spring, when the next provincial election will occur, the federal race should just be getting into gear. Any rival for fundraising – such as a leadership race – is not what the B.C. NDP needs.

Still, the actual vote being such a long ways off should help mitigate much of the damage.

What may have greater implications for the B.C. NDP, however, was the federal NDP’s decision to come closer – through an internal party “debate” – to embracing the controversial and radical “Leap Manifesto,” a far-left movement aimed at combating climate change, blocking trade deals and raising taxes.

I can only imagine the B.C. Liberals salivating over the prospect of tying the federal NDP’s courtship of the Leap Manifesto to the B.C. NDP’s tail and stepping back to gleefully watch the provincial party’s furious attempts to separate itself from all that comes with the positions called for by the Leap folks.Then again,

it’s entirely possible the B.C. NDP will be just as interested in bringing the Leap Manifesto into the party to stir up a debate.The Leap folks, for example, want to immediately halt the building of all oil pipelines and to quickly – very quickly – transition the economy away from fossil fuels.The stance seems fairly close to the one held by B.C. NDP, which opposes both the Enbridge pipeline and the proposed twinning of the Kinder Morgan pipeline.

Still, as someone who has known and covered NDP leader John Horgan for almost 20 years, I can’t imagine him leading a political party that wants anything to do with the Leap Manifesto.

Historically, Horgan is from the pro-resource development side of the NDP. But all this plays to the B.C. Liberals’ strategy of portraying the B.C. NDP as the “party of No,” one that opposes all kinds of industrial development and therefore – or so the B.C. Liberals argue – against jobs.

Also now in the B.C. Liberal arsenal are the angry comments from another NDP leader: Alberta Premier Rachel Notley, who is furious about the NDP’s de facto support for hurting her province’s economy.

The NDP has always been good at creating internal divisions.We shall soon see whether they help sabotage the party’s election chances here.

Working people deserve a living wage

Pipeline protesters target Site C dam – and readers respond

Dear Editor Re: Our View – Let’s stop this race to the bottom, Our View Burnaby NOW, April 6.

Woohoo! Hooray! And thank you! It is good to see an opinion from a company recognizing how disgraceful the minimum wage in B.C. makes us look to the rest of Canada.

It is shameful that the B.C. Liberal government believes the 10-cent-per-hour proposed increase for September of this year is acceptable – or maybe not, because they are looking at a whopping 30-cent-per-hour increase.

Neither increase is acceptable. Working people in this province need a “living wage.”

Working people in this province deserve a “living wage.” It is time the B.C. Liberal government, who talks about our economy as the best in the country, puts their money where their mouth is and increases the minimum wage to $15 per hour. This increase will further stimulate the economy, as mentioned in your opinion, and make this province truly a place where working people cannot just survive but maybe thrive?

What a thought! I can dream!

Andrea MacBride, Burnaby

Who is Burnaby city council working for?

Dear Editor Burnaby’s city council, just who are they working for? I moved to Burnaby in 2008, and since moving here I voted for Derek Corrigan and his team in the last two municipal elections, but I no longer have confidence in either him or his council running mates.

Sure, they have accumulated large surpluses, but I get the feeling that like Christy Clark, our council is working for the wealthy developers, not the people of Burnaby.

Although development is great, I see far too many people being forced out of perfectly good lowrise rental buildings, so the building can be demolished to make way for highrise towers. Where are these renters supposed to live with vacancy rate of next to zero?

Council keeps saying there us nothing they can do, but how about they simply say NO to these developers, for a change? I’m thinking in the next election, it’s time to make changes, and vote in a council that will represent the people, all of the people, not just developers.

Let’s look after our own residents first Dear Editor Re: free recreation passes for refugees.

“There is no cost to taxpayers.” This is not the principle of the free passes. We have plenty of retired people in Burnaby who would be very glad to go to the pool or other amenities for a change as they are sitting at home all winter.

Let’s take care of our own first. Doesn’t charity begin at home? Would you not look after your own family first, so the City of Burnaby should like after its own citizens first.

MikeB I really wonder if these folks realize how unrealistic they look. On the one hand they despise the filthy oil industry and feel people need to move on to less polluting options like electric vehicles but on the other hand they don’t want to see any expansion of hydro electric power which is one of the cleanest forms of energy production there is.

Where do they expect all the extra power capacity is going to come from when everyone switches over from gasoline based cars to electric cars and has to plug their vehicle in every night for recharging?

Maybe they would be more favourable to a farm of thousands of hamster treadmills producing electricity.

Although at that point they would probably start demonstrating again, this time against the exploitation of hamsters. bill smith Wow... another misguided ‘protest’.... BC’s population is going to increase by a million people in the coming decade... should they burn wood for cooking and heating?....

Burnaby concrete plant is shutting down Barry Danton Wow. That space would be prime for condos. Imagine the view.

Mountains, ocean, tankers belching oil... beautiful.

If only I could afford it in 5 years time when it’s finally built as a Canadian born young single white man making 65k a year. A 550 sqft unit will probably be around 750k by then.

City council questions carbon tax break for rural homeowners bill smith Well, Corrigan and Co. are at least starting to work closer to home... unlike their efforts to subvert international policy such as NAFTA, and Federal matters, such as meddling in national infrastructure matters... now it seems they are meddling in provincial matters... just one more step to go, down to Burnaby matters.... and the irony has not gone unnoticed, Corrigan and Co parroting the BC NDP line while increasing BURNABY property taxes year after year and spending much of it on frivolous law-suits that or out of their jurisdiction.

City now City water restrictions set to take effect in May Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

Summer water restrictions will come into effect a little earlier and last a little longer this year than in the past.

As part of Metro Vancouver’s water shortage response plan, the City of

Burnaby has approved amendments that will see the first phase (including restrictions on lawn sprinkling) begin on May 15 and end on Oct. 15. In previous years, the restrictions have run from June 1 to Sept. 30.

The idea is that stretching the restriction time period will assist in reducing the

overall water demand.

A Burnaby staff report noted in 2015, Metro Vancouver started experiencing unseasonably high water demand starting in mid-May, with the total consumption for May/June approximately 20 per cent higher than the same period in 2014.

“This just reminds us

how important it is to conserve water early,” said Coun. Anne Kang at council.

The dry and hot weather last year forced Metro Vancouver to enact Stage 3 water restrictions by July. Stage 3 water restrictions ban all home lawn sprinkling, refilling of hot tubs, pools and

garden ponds, among other tighter restrictions on outdoor water use.

Some of the new other new changes to the response plan include allowing water to be used by commercial cleaning services for esthetic cleaning during Stage 2, and allowing local government exemption

permits issued in Stage 2 for watering new lawns or for treatment to control the European chafer beetle to remain valid during Stage 3.

The flat fine of $50 for watering outside of designated times has been replaced with fines based on each of the four stages of water restrictions.

ND COME TO OUR 2 ANNUAL Parents urged to talk to kids Continued from page 1 “They say they’re moving forward very fast, so my hope is that they’re going to be able to close that case, so that will provide peace for, not only St. Helen’s but for the Burnaby community,” Sambor said.

The suspect in the case

is described as a 70-yearold man, with a slim build, a long grey-and-white beard and ripped, brown clothing.

No other incidents have been reported, but Burnaby RCMP are urging parents to be aware.

“This is a good opportunity for parents to talk

to kids about being safe,” spokesperson Cpl. Daniela Panesar stated in a press release Monday morning.

Anyone who saw this incident or the suspect is asked to call the Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-7922 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS.

Neighbours want to save hoop Continued from page 1 not to remain where it is.”

Thorn said she was told the hoop would be coming down within the week. She’s hoping the city will stop its action, even sending off a letter to the mayor with her plea.

“I beg of you to help me salvage this situation,” Thorn wrote in the let-

ter. “There is no strong urgency to ‘destroy’ our community heart … I mean, hoop. I am not contending that, at the end of a calm and thoughtful discussion, the conclusions won’t be reached that the hoop must go. I am simply asking for the opportunity to have such a discussion.”

On Monday, Mayor Der-

ek Corrigan said he wasn’t aware of Thorn’s letter or the issue but said he might be able to comment once he sees the letter. By the NOW’s press deadline, he had not responded.

The NOW also reached out to assistant director of engineering Doug Louie but did not hear back prior to press deadline.

City may not appeal Kinder Morgan ruling City is watching a couple of cases expected to head to the Supreme Court before deciding on its own appeal Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

It was a case “destined” to make its way to Canada’s top court. Now, that may not be the case at all.

The City of Burnaby may not end up appealing a B.C. Supreme Court ruling around city bylaws that found in favour of Kinder Morgan and its Trans Mountain Pipeline project.

While Mayor Derek Corrigan said the city has prepared the necessary documents to maintain the appeal, he said the municipality will be watching closely a couple of cases expected to head to the Supreme Court of Canada later this year.

Burnaby’s case challenged whether federal jurisdiction for major projects, like pipelines, can overrule city laws.

The mayor said if there’s an indication the Supreme Court will interfere in federal powers when it comes to local governments, he said the city may advance

its case to the B.C. Court of Appeal.

But if not, Corrigan said: “Then we’re in a situation where we’re not going to throw good money after bad. If I think there’s a chance we can be successful and advance the cause, I’ll go there. If not, I’ll move to the political means we’ve got.”

We’re not going to throw good money after bad He said he still hopes Prime Minister Justin Trudeau won’t approve the project, even if the National Energy Board does, suggesting he would face an “insurrection” within the Liberal Party and lose support in cities like Burnaby.

In the decision released in late November, a judge determined the National Energy Board was right by previously overruling Burn-

aby’s bylaw, which forbade the company from cutting trees while doing survey work in the Burnaby Mountain conservation area.

At the time, Corrigan said the fight against Kinder Morgan and the Trans Mountain Pipeline was destined to go all the way to Canada’s top court.

His tone was different when discussing the case with the NOW recently.Specifically, he said Burnaby is watching a City of Windsor case he described as being about a federally incorporated transportation carrier that refused to cooperate with the Ontario city’s bylaws.That case is expected to be before the Supreme Court before the end of the year.

“I don’t know if we’ll proceed to complete our hearing in the Court of Appeal if we don’t think it’s going to be successful or we have a reasonable chance of success,” he said on Monday.

Love and death collide in operatic tale Vancouver Cantonese Opera is on a mission to introduce its art to people of all ages and cultures The traditional art of Cantonese opera is coming to the stage in Burnaby.

Vancouver Cantonese Opera is staging Princess Cheung Ping (The Flower Princess) at the Michael J. Fox Theatre on Saturday, April 16.

The production, which

This political backdrop provides the critical dramatic tension

will be shown with English and Chinese subtitles, is a masterwork of the late acclaimed composer Tong Dik Sang, which premiered in 1957.

The show has remained a favourite among Cantonese opera audiences with a story set in the late Ming Dynasty, revolving around the love

story of Princess Cheung Ping and Jau Saihin from their first meeting to their wedding night suicide.

“Tong Dik Sang, like his counterparts in the west, was well able to juxtapose the romantic love of the opera against the lofty Confucian ideals of zhong (faithfulness to one’s emperor) and xiao (filial piety to one’s parents), during a critical historical period at the end of the Ming dynasty and the advent of the ‘barbarian’ Manchu dynasty of the Qing,” a press release explains.

“This political backdrop provides the critical dramatic tension at the core of the story.”

But viewers don’t need to feel they have a background in Chinese history or Cantonese opera to enjoy the production: the opera company’s mission is to present the traditional art form at its highest level to both Chinese and non-Chinese audiences.

“We are dedicated in the

preservation and promotion of our traditional art form to the mainstream and younger population,” the group’s press release notes.

“We are the only Cantonese music society that has an explicit and active intention of reaching beyond the Chinese community to engage

the broader community.”

Tickets for the production range from $40 to $60.

Ruth made Canada her home and feels so proud that she could give her mother a very peaceful life for over twenty years. She recalls when her mother wanted to become a Canadian Citizen it was difficult as she had been deaf her whole life. Therefore it was difficult for her to read and speak English as she could not hear it. Ruth would write phonetics under each word to help her mother pronounce it in English. People would tell her they loved her accent as it was so unique. Both Ruth and her mother were so incredibly proud when she passed her test and became a Canadian Citizen.

Gamma Garage celebrates art and neighbours The Gamma Garage is back with a celebration of art – and you’re invited.

The North Burnaby art group is holding its annual show on Saturday and Sunday, April 16 and 17.

The group was started about 15 years ago when a core group of three North Burnaby neighbours, Pat Sexsmith, DianneYard and Sheila Chowdhury, joined forces with their friend Wilma Cook of Roberts Creek/ Vancouver.

Chowdhury happened to have a garage slowly filling up with art materials, and it became the group’s art studio space.

They put together their first art show, Chowdhury says, “to satisfy the curiosity of friends, who wondered how they were spending their time in the garage” – no price tags, no intention of selling, but just to invite everyone in on the fun.

The garage has since become a well-appointed art studio, and it provides the exhibition space for their now annual show.This weekend’s will be the 13th show, and it will include

guest artist Kira Sokolovskaia, who works in pastels.

This year, the group has chosen portraits as their group subject.The show also offers up about 70 other paintings from large to tiny, realist to abstract.

The Gamma Garage artists work in evolving and varied styles, mediums and

techniques and have found success with sales over the years.

“Buyers benefit from the fact that there is no added gallery commission,” Chowdhury notes in a press release. “However, the chief intentions of the group are still to support each other in their love of painting and

reach into the community.”

The artists all took part in the Living Room Art project in the fall, and they’re getting set to welcome back familiar faces, drop-in visitors and newcomers alike to this year’s Gamma Garage show.

The show is at 232 North Gamma Ave. Saturday and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m.

ASK A LIFE COACH

Q

I’ve read books, watched videos and attended workshops on personal development, yet I find it very difficult making a change.

Why?

A

This is a great questions. Wanting to change and making a change are two different things. By having read, watched and attended workshops you have created an awareness for yourself that change is necessary. Now the tough part is what have you done to move forward? In coaching, we call it “Willingness”. What is your willingness to move forward? In my coaching practice, I go further and ask you to rank that willingness.

If it’s high, chances are that you will commit and take action. If it’s low, no action will take place. Most people hire a coach to hold them accountable. Just remember this, take little steps every day and eventually you get to your dreams.

ASK A MORTGAGE BROKER

Q A

I’m a Non Resident, Can I get a Mortgage?

The answer is yes. There are only a select few lenders that will lend to non resident clients. Non resident clients will be required to put down 35% down payment. Down HOWARD LOUIE Manager, Mortgage Broker payment must be from own resources, and can be gift from a family member.

They will need to show enough money in Canada for 12 months of P+I payments in addition to down payment. Heavy consideration will be placed on the client’s occupation and whether it makes sense that the clients’ job can support the mortgage. If he is a business owner or self employed then how does the company generate money? Is there a website or business license to verify his ownership?

If he is salaried, is the company well known? What is his position?

Most of these deals are case by case and never Black and White.

ASK A REALTOR®

Q A

Is rent control a good idea?

Government policies use price control to limit the rent a landlord can charge for rental properties. However, while low-income owners may find housing security in this policy, JENNY WUN PREC it also has an adverse effect. We see Associate Broker a significant decrease in the supply of rental housing as fewer developers and landlords see this type of investment profitable. Rent control give landlords little motivation to make improvements to the building leading to deterioration and problems such as rat and insect infestation. More and more, we see landlords turning their rental units into condominiums or selling the building to developers. The supply and demand should determine the market value of rent. What do you think? Give us your opinion online at West One Real Estate Marketing Facebook page or send Jenny an email at jenny@westonemarketing.ca.

DIGNITY MEMORIAL

ignity Memorial PreArrangement Funeral (PAF) Services at Forest Lawn and Ocean View Funeral Homes.

It is said that there are only two certainties in life.

For most of us, a discussion about death is difficult and uncomfortable. That is understandable. However, as we have a discussion with families, many people begin to realize that we are talking about protecting the ones we love, rather than death. We buy life, car and home insurance to protect loved ones from financial hardship. If we protect from things that might happen, does it make more sense to protect from something that will happen?

PAF comprises of pre-planning and pre-funding. Preplanning is a process of making funeral wishes known and prefunding is paying for funeral arrangements.

A good start to this process includes reflection as to what is important, recording the wishes and sharing them with loved ones so they have a blueprint of what you want. When someone passes away and no PAF exist, many questions are unanswered. This is especially true when most of those left behind are grieving and overwhelmed and when decisions have to be made quickly. Preplanning costs nothing and relieves emotional burden.

Prefunding is the process of funding a funeral arrangement. All agreements are insurance backed and a special Dignity Goods and Services Agreement guarantee costs are frozen at today’s prices.

This eliminates financial burden.

Everyone should have a PAF because it relieves loved ones from emotional and financial burdens after a loss has occurred. PAFs are completed when a person is healthy, happy and are able to make their own decisions together with family.

As informed consumers, we should be comfortable in exploring all the options available regarding cremation or burial and should not hesitate in getting the information from trusted sources.

Our professional PAF Advisors come to you at your home or wherever it is convenient for you. Ask for a free Personal Planning Guide and Estate Planning Will kit.

ASK A HEARING PRACTITIONER

Q A

What are some myths about hearing loss?

1) Hearing loss only affects the elderly.

2) My primary physician will tell me if my hearing is failing.

3) I notice a difference in one ear, but the other is fine, so I’m ok.

STUART LLOYD 4) Hearing aids will make me look “older” Owner & Hearing and “handicapped”.

Instructor Practitioner 5) My hearing loss cannot be helped.

6) The consequences of hiding hearing loss are better than wearing hearing aids.

In fact, the vast majority of people with hearing loss can benefit from hearing aids. And dramatic new technological advances have completely transformed hearing aids in recent years, making them more effective, comfortable, and easy to use. So the sooner you identify hearing loss and start using professionally fitted hearing aids if recommended by a hearing healthcare professional, the sooner you’ll begin to reap the rewards of better hearing.

Deaf students forge new bonds Continued from page 18 This year’s competition was a highlight in Deaf Connections Week, a new initiative by the Provincial Outreach Program: Deaf and Hard of Hearing (POPDHH) aimed at getting some of the province’s more than 1,200 deaf and hard of hearing kids together.

“We provide opportunities for them to meet like peers and to be immersed in that environment, to have a concept that ‘I’m not alone in this world; there are others just like me,’” POPDHH education consultant Lynley Lewis told the

NOW. “You could be the only child who’s deaf and hard of hearing in a school, and what does that say for your self-concept, when you see no one else like you?”

Deaf Connections Week brought together about 150 students from around B.C. for a tour of the provincial deaf school, housed at Burnaby South Secondary and South Slope Elementary.

And after the Optimist competition, a group of students also signed up to spend the night at the Vancouver Aquarium and sleep next to the belugas.

Harvey puts up points

In what was essentially a must-win for the Burnaby Lake premier women’s team, the squad blasted UBC 66-10 to secure the final spot in the B.C. premier women’s rugby playoffs.

With a rough 48-17 loss to Seattle still fresh in their minds, Burnaby dominated the scrums and broke numerous lines for a game-opening pushover try against UBC. Burnaby maintained its focus and carried the ball with authority, with some slick passing setting up Lauren Tagg’s try in the corner.

UBC would cut into the local’s lead but was beaten back by a string of offensive forays. EmilyYoung countered with a long dash to end the first half, while the second frame saw even more domination, as Jessica Harvey scored a trio of tries. Chipping in with a pair was Alicia Noger, whileYoung picked up her second of the day.

Harvey’s performance accounted for 25 points, as Burnaby Lake proved that when push comes to shove, they give no quarters.

BURNABY KICKER DELIVERS WIN The Burnaby Lake men’s premier side shook off a 13-3 deficit to edge Capilano 21-18.

Trailing by 10 at the half, Burnaby kick-started the comeback on a try from Joe Dolesau, followed by a Nolan Shelley convert. Angus Fisher gave the Laker crew the lead, but Capilano responded with a crashing try of its own to push ahead 18-15.

Harper finishes fifth after rough start A rough first day couldn’t keep Burnaby’s Leo Harper from making a game of it, as he finished tied for fifth overall at the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s Prodigy Series at Morgan Creek on the weekend.

In the bantam boys division, Harper started the two-day tourney with a round of 79, registering just one birdie over 18 holes, compared to four bogies and two double-bogies.

The second round saw the 13-year-old cut nine strokes off his game, shooting a 2-under par 70 with three birdies and just one bogie.

The winner, Ilirian Zalli of Vancouver, posted a two-round total of 139 (69, 70).

In seventh place was Burnaby’s Andy Luo, 13, with a two-day total of 152.

In the peewee boys division, Denby Carswell placed seventh overall after firing a two-

day tally of 180 (88, 92).

Burnaby’s Emily Xu finished in a tie for fourth in the under-15 girls division.

Xu and the rest of the pack were chasing Surrey’s Susan Xiao, who blazed a path to top spot with rounds of 66 and 69 on the par73 course. Xu, 14, fired a 5-over par 78 in the first round, then struggled with an 85 on the final day.

Netminding the key in junior Lakers rebuild Club confident in chemistry, goalkeeping as it takes aim at a serious push for the B.C. jr lacrosse playoffs

Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

A fashionable old song mused ‘You gotta have heart,’ but in boxla circles you can add goaltending to the must-have list.

Both heart and netminding will go a long way towards the Burnaby junior Lakers’ goal of moving out of the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League basement in 2016.

A swap one month into the 2015 season brought Seattle native goalie Graham Husick and solidified the position for this year.

While the 6-foot-1 netminder, who is a U.S. national team player, will miss the start of the season due to college commitments, the team has intermediate grad Thomas Hankins able to handle

the workload for the first month.

Planning ahead, Burnaby also dealt for first-year intermediate Matt Hills last week to bolster the organizational depth in the crease.

“We were in need of an (intermediate) goalie and Hills fits the bill,” said Lakers general manager Brad Hara. “He’s a big (6-foot-4) kid, just like Hankins, and he has a good stick.”

It’s just one position where the club is looking much improved, and must be stronger if it is to put a 4-17 season behind them.

Hara notes recent practices have been well attended and the players are hungry, gearing up for the May 1 season opener.

“I’d say our ball movement has been very good. Our lineup is kind of split one-third for third-

year veterans, one-third for sophomores and one-third for first-year players.”

The club has made a handful of off-season deals and been running through some grueling practices with the intermediate Lakers, with the focus on building endurance, stamina and team chemistry.

A strong bond among players is going to play a key role in this year’s story, said Hara.

“A big area is going to be team chemistry,” he noted. “This group will work together as a unit, and that’s how it should be.”

A playoff spot won’t be won by chemistry alone – otherwise training camp would take place in a laboratory. But getting players to toil, sweat and dedicate themselves for each other, and face some tre-

golfburnaby.ca

mendous challenges with a unified work ethic, can make a season.

Third-year head coach Brad Parker, former Port Moody police chief, will provide the guidance and accountability. But it will be the players who deliver, said Hara.

The Lakers main losses through graduation were Trevor Kirkby, Justin Appels, Ryan Vogrig and Jordan Hara. For the first six weeks they’ll be without Aidan Milburn, who led the club with 41 goals and 39 assists last season and is in his freshman year at RIT. By reacquiring Danny Spagnuolo in a swap with Delta that also brought in Cody Tracey and Jasper Nahanee, the Lakers have a quality go-to offensive shooter who can set the tempo.

Spagnuolo counted 24 goals

and 21 assists over 17 games for Burnaby, and tallied 10 points for Delta in six playoff games.

Of the club’s anticipated rookies, first-year juniors Jordan Gabriele and Mason Pomeroy will fit in at opposite ends of the floor, while aged-up Patrick Shoemay will bolster the lineup as he makes the jump.

Hara knows the issues that face the program, which just three years ago posted a single win.This season, the puzzle is starting to come together, he said.

“We were in a big hole and we are digging our way out of it.We feel we’re heading in the right direction and our goal this year is to make the playoffs.That is what every team’s goal should be at this time of the season.”

Just Play!
