Police piece together scene of fatal shooting By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

Burnaby has recorded its second homicide of the year. Police were called out to the 3900 block of Forest Street at sundown Monday evening after shots rang out on the residential

street. A man was found shot, and after being helped by bystanders in the area, he was taken to hospital where he died an hour later at 10:30 p.m. On Tuesday, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) identified the man as Christopher

Alexander Serrano, 29, of Coquitlam. IHIT said he also used the last name of Hurtado. Investigators are now trying to figure out a motive for the shooting and what led the man with a criminal past to the area of Burnaby. IHIT spokesperson Sgt. Jenni-

fer Pound said investigators know that a dark-coloured sedan was in the area when there was an altercation with the victim. She said the suspect vehicle fled, but not before colliding with a parked vehicle. “At this point we’re trying to determine what the connection to

that location is,” Pound told the NOW. “It was just an area where it looks like he met up with somebody in that dark-coloured sedan and an altercation ensued and he ended up succumbing to gunshot wounds.” Continued on page 5

NEW BILL TRIGGERS MEMORIES

City MLA shares sexual assault story

Kathy Corrigan delivers tearful tale in legislature By Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

Burnaby MLA Kathy Corrigan apologized for her tears when she stood up in the legislature on May 10 to

support a new bill calling on post-secondary institutions to have clear policies on handling sexual violence. “Sorry, I didn’t know this was going to bother me,” she said, voice wavering. “See, it stays with you for a

long time.” Corrigan was sharing a personal story from her late teens, when she was a student at UBC. It was a beautiful day, and she decided to take a walk by herself to Tower Beach.

“There was nobody else on the beach, and suddenly there was a half-naked man running towards me, masturbating and chasing me. I was 17 or 18; I’m not sure. I was absolutely terrified,” she said. Corrigan ran and found a couple who helped her, and

the man ran off. “I was not touched, but I was targeted, and I was a victim,” she said. “Every second of that incident stays in my mind today.There are those that experience far worse. I’m not trivializing any event of sexual violence, because you don’t know

Burnaby elementary school students taught Premier Christy Clark a thing or two about manoeuvring robots around last week during her visit to a local elementary school for a funding announcement. The premier was at Taylor Park Elementary School Friday to announce $6 million in funding to pay for teacher training and classroom computers, so every B.C. student can learn to code by Grade 9, as per the province’s new Applied Design, Skills and Technologies curriculum. In 2016/17, the province will spend $2 million on teacher training, specifically for the coding curriculum, $2 million to help school districts buy equipment and resources for coding, and $2 million to help teachers bring the new curriculum to life in their classrooms, Clark announced. “Supporting the new curriculum just makes sense – for our students today and for our success as a province tomorrow,” she said. “Coding and our new curriculum are connecting students with the problem-solving and critical thinking skills they need to thrive – no matter what path they choose.” During the premier’s visit,Taylor Park students in grades 4 to 7 got a chance to show her their 3-D printing, coding and robotics projects, developed with the help of high school students from nearby Byrne Creek Community School. – By Cornelia Naylor

No more bangs for bucks in Burnaby City moves to ban the sale of all fireworks in the municipality, citing property damage and nuisance issues By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

If you were hoping to get your hands on some fireworks for Halloween in Burnaby this year, you will be out of luck. On Monday, council gave approval for amendments to its fire service bylaw that will ban the sale of fireworks in the municipality. The actual bylaw changes will come back to council for final approval at a later date.

The city’s fire department has been grappling with the issue for several years, before coming up with the recommendations for a ban. The city argued the regulation of fireworks sales is problematic due to the hazardous nature of the product. According to a staff report, fireworks sales have resulted in numerous safety, property use and nuisance issues, including unlicensed businesses and makeshift

signs that have endangered the public. Coun. Sav Dhaliwal suggested it was time for a ban on the sale of fireworks, adding the city recognizes people can still get the product elsewhere if they want. He said it would be preferable if there was a provincewide ban. However, he argued the ban in Burnaby will stop impulse buying, noting a number of other municipalities already have bans in place. “We’re joining them to discour-

age fireworks, which mostly get abused in many ways,” Dhaliwal said, adding people using the product aren’t fully trained and have been hurt. A number of cities in Metro Vancouver have bans, including neighbouring Coquitlam and New Westminster. However, fireworks can still be purchased in Vancouver. Coun. Pietro Calendino also noted the ban doesn’t mean there won’t be fireworks in Burnaby, but

under the bylaw people will have to get a permit to use them. Under the current bylaw, the sale of fireworks was restricted to the week leading up the Halloween. In 2015, 14 existing retail outlets and 10 temporary vendors, or “pop-up” shops, were licensed to sell fireworks. The purchasers had to be 18 and older, and the vendors needed a permit from the fire chief and a business licence.

Three suspects sought in SkyTrain assault Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

Transit Police are asking for the public’s help to try and track down three suspects who beat up a Good Samaritan trying to help a woman who was being harassed on the SkyTrain. According to police, the incident happened after 11 p.m. on June 9, when the victim noticed three young men board the train at Sperling station and call out to a female passenger that they were going to follow her home. Police said one of the men sat beside another woman

and joked to his two friends about raping her. The man who would eventually be assaulted stood up and told the three suspects to leave the woman alone. At the Lougheed station, the victim got off the train but was followed by two suspects, who allegedly punched him in the face and upper body before getting back on the train. The victim boarded a separate car and pushed the emergency strip inside the train, but the three suspects came back and punched him in the face before running off, according to Tran-

sit Police.By the time police arrived, the suspects were gone.The victim was taken to hospital with a bleeding nose and a sore left forearm. He was treated and released. One suspect is described as a white man, 20 to 25 years old, standing six feet tall, with a thin build and short brown hair. He was wearing a red Hurley shirt, blue jeans and a black baseball hat. A second suspect is described as a white man in his early 20s, five feet nine inches tall, with a medium to heavy build, short brown hair, short beard and moustache. He was wearing dark

jeans and a blue NFL jersey with the name “Johnson” and the number “81” on the front. A third suspect is described as a white man of the same age and height, but with a heavy build and short brown hair. He was wearing a grey hoodie with a red hood and sleeves, black shorts and grey skate shoes. “While we would not suggest anyone put themselves in harm’s way, we commend the victim in this incident for taking the action he did in trying to protect this woman, and the witnesses who provided statements,” said a statement from Tran-

Building a better welcome mat in Burnaby

City planning group lays out a three-year strategy to help better integrate new refugees and immigrants By Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

A local planning table has laid out a three-year strategy to make Burnaby more welcoming and inclusive for refugees and immigrants, and it’s a plan that will shape an already diverse city for decades to come. The Burnaby Intercultural Planning Table is launching its strategy Thursday. The plan focuses on four key areas: employment, access to information, cross-cultural connections and civic engagement – all with the goal of making the city a more hospitable place for newcomers. “Immigrants are our future, and with an aging population and declining birthrate and the current government’s goal of increasing overall immigration to Canada, … it means Burnaby will con-

tinue to be a recipient of diversity, of immigrants and refugees,” said Chris Friesen, planning table cochair and director of settlement services for Immigrant Services Society of B.C. “Their ability to actively participate and en-

Immigrants are our future gage in Burnaby is directly correlated to the vibrancy and strength of Burnaby in the future.” The strategy has several action items, like an annual survey of newcomers’ needs, a refugee mythbusting campaign, a service providers fair and tours of city hall to promote civic engagement. On the jobs front, Friesen is hoping to make inroads with employers to

figure out ways they can tap into the refugee and immigrant labour market. Many refugees and immigrants have a hard time finding work in their field because they lack Canadian experience. Burnaby is already a diverse city – more than half of local residents come from another country. Friesen pointed to European examples of social disintegration, voiceless groups, racialized ghettos and areas where even police won’t enter as examples of what can happen when cities don’t integrate newcomers. “This is simply not an option for Canada or for Burnaby,” he said. Burnaby Family Life’s Michel Pouliot, also a cochair for the planning table, said Burnaby is already ethnically diverse. “Making sure we create an environment where every Canadian can contrib-

intakes of refugees. From 2010 to 2014, 660 government-assisted refugees arrived in Burnaby.

! Immigrant focus groups identified “a lack of sufficient information of Burnaby and its services” as one of the biggest barriers in settling in Burnaby.

! Recent immigrants in Burnaby experienced a two-digit unemployment rate at 11.9 per cent in 2010, while the city’s overall unemployment rate was seven per cent.

! 62 per cent of the Burnaby labour force are immigrants.

!The median income for recent immigrants was $14,298, lower than $22,372 for the total immigrant population and $25,463 for the total population. Almost 42 per cent of recent immigrants aged 15 years and older fell into the low-income bracket. Source: Burnaby Intercultural Planning Table

! Less than half (42.9 per cent) of immigrants surveyed reported to be employed in their occupational field, while 27.6 per cent of the respondents work in a totally unrelated field. ! Historically, Burnaby, along with Surrey and the Tri-Cities (primarily Coquitlam), accounts for B.C.’s highest ute to the community is key,” he said. The planning table includes representatives from more than 15 agen-

cies, including the Burnaby Public Library, the local board of trade, the RCMP, Journey Home Community Association,

Immigrant Services Society of B.C. and Burnaby Family Life.

Police gather evidence and video surveillance after shooting Continued from page 1 She said there’s always a concern and risk to the public when shots are fired in a busy residential neighbourhood, and investigators are hoping to speak to anyone with information.

Police also have evidence left behind from the suspect vehicle and video surveillance. According to theVancouver Sun, Hurtado was convicted of aggravated assault for slitting the throat of another man in downtown Vancouver in February 2010.

The newspaper also noted in September 2011, he was sentenced to two years on top of the 19 months he served in pre-trial custody. This is the second murder of 2016 in Burnaby. Burnaby Mounties were called

Are you not hearing clearly when a group of people are talking? Many people find that they are no longer able to understand everything being said, particularly when in the company of others. Engineered in Switzerland, the Audéo V hearing aid has been designed specifically to understand speech in group situations. The majority of those surveyed stated that when exposed to considerable background noise they are able to hear that something is being spoken, but can no longer discern precisely what is being said. The words seem blurred and indistinct. But why is that? The effect tends to manifest itself in group situations, especially in restaurants. It is the high-pitched tones perceived at the entrance to the cochlea that determine when you hear things accurately. In the majority of cases these parts of the inner ear are the first to be affected by noise or aging. As the high-pitched tones are no longer perceived well, the auditory centre of the brain begins to struggle to decode language. It’s a bit like an image that doesn’t have enough pixels.

Police offered little details about the case and never identified the victim. The man was later identified by the Vancouver Sun as Ray Jopowicz, 41.

HEARING SENSATION! SWISS RESEARCHERS: AUDÉO V IS SUPERIOR FOR CONVERSATION.

With Audéo V

The Audéo V hearing aids provide considerable reduction in noise allowing you to focus on speech. Developed by Swiss audiologists the Audéo V hearing aid is designed to improve speech comprehension in noise, particularly with hearing loss in the high-frequency range. People can trial the new Audéo V system by Phonak simply by calling now to do so. During your FREE hearing test, our Hearing Care Professionals will determine how speech comprehension can be improved in various situations and what role the technology called “Autosense OS” plays. This technology can recognize where the person being spoken to is located and can amplify only his or her voice,

while ambient noise is reduced. Thanks to several synchronous microphones, the hearing aid can detect sound in all directions and select the direction that speech is coming from within milliseconds, seamlessly adjusting to the listening situation. According to Swiss researchers, this can significantly improve speech comprehension, especially in conversation for the right candidates.

Small steps towards a safer society

If you ask a woman if she has ever been sexually assaulted, or felt she was in danger of being sexually assaulted, chances are very high that she will say yes. That is, of course, if she trusts you to actually listen and not judge. So, in one way, it is not surprising that a new bill brought forward in B.C.’s legislature triggered personal stories of sexual assault or close calls. MLA Kathy Corrigan’s story of an encounter that

took place when she was 17 or 18 at UBC reveals just how far we’ve come, and also how little things have changed for women. (See story on today’s front page.) UBC, close to 50 years after Corrigan went there, now has security posts, awareness posters and a sexual assault support centre.What was once never spoken about is now openly debated and has become part of a widening discussion about women’s safety on campuses. But 50 years

after Corrigan’s encounter, men are still assaulting and intimidating women on campuses. Clearly, more has to be done. Andrew Weaver’s new Bill 23 is part of the answer.The bill mandates that all public post-secondary institutions must have clear policies on handling sexual violence and intimidation. Bill 23 gives post-secondary institutions until next May to fall in line. UBC has just presented a new draft sexual assault pol-

icy that will be open to input over the summer. Corrigan rightly wanted the legislation to cover private post-secondary institutions. Don’t women on all campuses deserve protection and a legitimate process as well? The legislation also prompted Premier Christy Clark to go public with a memory dating back to when she was a young teenager in Burnaby. She was grabbed by a man and pulled into a bunch of

shrubs. She managed to escape and she then continued on her way to work. She never told anyone. The resources open to her decades ago were severely limited. And a complaint by a young person back then often resulted in that young person’s liberty being curtailed. If it wasn’t safe to go out at night, well, you just weren’t allowed to go out at night. Today, thankfully, folks are less likely to blame women for attacks, and

women are more likely to lodge complaints and refuse to stay housebound or university dorm-bound in fear. Sadly, a culture of sexism still thrives and women still face assaults and threats. In fact, as we went to press with this paper, police were investigating alleged assaults at SFU. But, inch by inch, women and men are moving society to where it needs to be: a place where all people – regardless of gender or sexuality – feel safe.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Oil’s gotta get there somehow

A recent accident just south of the U.S. border didn’t receive a lot of media attention in Canada, but it should nevertheless serve as a reminder that the debate about energy in this country is not just about pipelines. On June 3, a Union Pacific train carrying crude oil derailed near the Columbia Gorge. Four cars burst into flame, a nearby town was evacuated and the fact it still exists is thought to be owed entirely to an unusual shift in the wind, which miraculously didn’t blow the flames into the town. Shipping oil by rail has been on the steady rise in the U.S., as volumes from the Alberta oil sands and the shale gas deposits in North Dakota have outstripped the capacity of existing pipelines.The number of oil trains coming through MetroVancouver have also been increasing, from just six car loads in 2009 to more than 3,000 in 2014. The Alberta oil sands industry will not suddenly cease to exist if no new pipelines are built. Even the most ardent climate change activists acknowledge it will take at least 30 years for any realistic “weaning” off of fossil fuels to take place. In the meantime, the oil will move, one way or another: by pipeline, truck or rail. And studies show moving oil by rail is more dangerous than by pipeline (although both pose significant risks), and those are based on statistics mostly covering a time frame when relatively little oil was transported via

rail trains. I cite this recent U.S. accident simply to show there is a lot more going on when it comes to such questions as whether the Kinder Morgan pipeline should be expanded.Those on both sides of the issue sometimes leave the impression that it’s an entirely yes or no proposition, that somehow oil will stop flowing if it isn’t built. Recently,Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson travelled to Ottawa to make the case the pipeline should not be twinned because it posed a unique and dangerous risk to the environment of MetroVancouver and beyond. His remarks brought an immediate retort from Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi, who mocked Robertson’s argument to reporters: “I wonder if he’s forgetting that the Port ofVancouver is the third largest in North America and every single day it transports caustic soda ... ethelyne glycol ...sulfur ... coal ... sugar … what happens when there’s a sugar spill? That’s probably not very good for the wildlife.” It all goes to show this debate is a multi-layered one. It’s not just about assuming all potential spill problems disappear if a pipeline is not built.They simply exist in other forms. Pipeline? Truck? Railcar? Pick your poison. Like it or not, as long as we keep driving cars and buying plastic goods, one of those modes of transportation will be bringing oil close to you.

There’s no room for heritage in a rapidly developing Burnaby

Letter writer says housing is creating a ‘refugee crisis’ in city

Dear Editor The housing pandemic is affecting us all, in every corner of urban B.C., but in New Corriganville (formerly Burnaby), redevelopment is at a pace that will never be exceeded. It’s erasing the formerly decent city’s pioneering heritage faster than it can be documented and, as long as building permits are being bought, King and council couldn’t care less. There were over 450 heritage worthy properties identified in 1985 for potential protection, and of that list, less than half still stand. There are currently six buildings identified on heritage lists that are on their way to the landfill, the last of which is the 1908 Mawhinney mansion “Evergreen” on Burris at Canada Way. Burnaby places in the top five wealthiest cities in B.C., it ceased external borrowing ages ago. It is also B.C.’s third largest city, spanning nearly 100 square kilometres. You would think that a major metropolis of over 95,000 private dwellings would have more than 54 heritage properties (only 26 are privately owned homes), seeing as its been a settlement since the 1880s (incorporated in 1892). Alas that is not the vision of New Corriganville, the dump truck capital of B.C., but hey, at least we have the country’s second largest shopping experience. Jonathan Reay, Burnaby

Can’t we just say no to unacceptable risks from pipeline plan? Dear Editor The irony of it all! We live in a time when bike riders must wear helmets to prevent possible injury. We vaccinate people to prevent possible disease. People are advised of foods to eat and medications to use to prevent disease. We buy insurance to mitigate possible damage to ourselves, our homes and property. Yet very few people consider the possible dangers of what Kinder Morgan wants to do to our lands, waterways and the air we breathe with their tankers and pipelines. Every year 483 tankers, laden with diluted bitumen (dil-bit), will be navigating Burrard Inlet, a potentially hazardous waterway, and the Salish Sea. In the event of a spill or rupture on land or in the inlet or sea, hexane, benzene, toluene, xylene, ethylbenzene and hydrogen sulfide gases will be released into the atmosphere. Apparently governments would rather take a chance with big oil than prevent possible death and destruction. These same governments, who want to protect people from disease and death, seem to have no regard for all living things on the land, in the ocean and in the air. One spill, one pipeline rupture, one spark, one boil-over will put all at risk. Should we not seriously consider the proposed Kinder Morgan expansion and the possible health and environmental risks in our backyard and say NO!? Ann Mayo, Burnaby

Lucas Teodoro da Silva What a ridiculous assertion. People leaving Burnaby due to rising costs are not “refugees”. People forced to move from Burnaby to some other equally-comfortable suburb and continue living their very comfortable lives have no reason to boo-hoo. Please don’t trivialize the struggles of people who are fleeing war and death by comparing them in this way. David Salisbury As much as I agree that these two are not comparable what-so-ever. Many people born & raised here have had to leave various parts of the lowermainland due to increasing housing & daily living costs. I’m also concerned for those refugees whom do come here & try to become established in this area. It’s a ‘difficult task or a tall order’... Marilyn Chepil Thank you, have forwarded to many. LEST WE FORGET! Rick McGowan Affordable units in every new development is possible through inclusionary zoning. The value of an apartment is based on the land and the market demand- not so much the actual construction costs. Burnaby could mandate that 10 to15 percent of units in a new development be transferred at cost to BC Housing or the City. It should also be noted that wood frame constructions are less expensive to build. 12 plus storey buildings may be the preference of developers and the rich investor, but ultimately it is the City that decides what can be built and where. Neighbourhoods need to accomodate a diversity of incomes.

Plans for Lougheed Town Centre bring honours to Burnaby @TRitchieBurnaby Looking forward to the new #Lougheed Town Centre. Great design and planning, and hopefully lots of #housing #Burnaby

Sex assaults alleged

CAMPS BEING OFFERED:

Investigation triggered by several complaints

By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

Burnaby Mounties are investigating several allegations of sexual assault at the Simon Fraser University campus. On Tuesday, SFU officials and the Burnaby RCMP confirmed an investigation is underway into the allegations of sexual assault that were brought forward sometime during the spring semester. However, some of the details about the investigation were not provided. The university said it received three allegations of sexual assaults from female students at the Burnaby campus against one student. Kurt Heinrich, SFU’s director of communications, said all the incidents were reported to police and are currently being investigated. He also said out of respect for privacy, the university would not discuss specifics about the allegation, but added safety of students remains a top priority for the school. Heinrich said as soon as

officials were made aware of allegations, the university took action to support students without interfering in the investigation, noting both RCMP and SFU conducted safety assessments

These cases are really, really complex, and we’ve worked very hard to support the students ...

and measures to ensure safety on campus. He also noted the subject of the allegations is not on campus. “These cases are really, really complex, and we’ve worked very hard to support the students involved and to ensure the safety of all of our students during this really challenging time,” Heinrich told the NOW.

When asked whether students were notified at the time the assaults were reported, Heinrich said he couldn’t discuss the measures taken to ensure campus safety, but added “we certainly did take measures.” Heinrich said the university has a range of policies in place to address issues of sexual assault and is currently working on a standalone sexual violence and misconduct policy. Burnaby RCMP confirmed the alleged incidents took place at the end of 2015, while the investigation is ongoing and no one has been charged. “There’s no concern for public safety,” said RCMP Sgt. Derek Thibodeau. He also noted investigators are working with other police forces to see if there are any links to the allegations at SFU and other investigations. The RCMP are also encouraging any other potential victims or anyone with information to come forward and speak to police.

Bill 23 gets support from Libs

Continued from page 1 single woman will have stories that are similar to mine. It demonstrates how prevalent, how endemic, how common and how much a part of the experience of every woman – almost every woman – sexual assault is.” The bill Corrigan stood to support came from AndrewWeaver, the lone Green MLA in the Legislature, and it’s a bill that received support from the premier herself. In an oped that ran in theVancouver Sun last Thursday, Christy Clark shared her personal story of an incident that happened while walking to work in Burnaby as a young teenager. “A man suddenly jumped out, grabbed me and pulled me out of sight into a deep copse of shrubs,” she wrote. “He didn’t say anything. I don’t even remember what he looked like. I remember wondering where he had come from, and why I hadn’t seen him. And I remember being very scared.” The man pulled Clark down a slope but seemed to

lose his balance, and she escaped his grip and ran to work. She caught her breath, walked inside, put on her apron and never told anyone. The Liberals built on Weaver’s bill and passed it on May 18. It is extremely rare for the sitting government to adopt a bill from an opposing party, and it’s the first such instance in the Liberals’ 15-year reign. But Corrigan’s support came with caveats. She made suggestions to change several aspects – toughening the language and extending it to private institutions, for example – but all of those amendments were rejected. Weaver, the MLA for Oak Bay-Gordon Head, was in the legislature when Corrigan shared her story. “It was very clear to me that this was very personal for her,” he said. “A lot of people have stories; I have my own stories.” When he was in kindergarten or Grade 1, his male babysitter took him for a walk in the woods, took his clothes off, exposing himself toWeaver.The babysit-

More about Bill 23

Bill 23, the Sexual Violence and Misconduct Policy Act, defines sexual misconduct as assault, exploitation or harassment – all of a sexual nature. The term also covers stalking, indecent exposure, voyeurism and distributing sexually explicit photos of people without their consent with intent to cause distress. Attempts or threats of sexual misconduct are also covered. The new law requires

ter said “if you tell anyone” then pulled out a knife and stabbed it into a tree stump. Weaver said he’s never shared his story before, and the man, who he did not want to name, is now dead. “It was terrifying while he was still living on that street; I lived in terror,”Weaver said. “When you are five or six, ... it does that, it kind of imprints. I remember that to this day.” Weaver said there are stories like this throughout society, and that per capita,

post-secondary institutions’ sexual misconduct policies cover making a complaint or report of sexual misconduct involving a student. Students are required to be part of the consultation process while developing the policies. The institutions must report back on their policies to the Advanced Education Ministry. Universities have a year to develop the new policies, but Weaver expects most will be ready by fall.

the transgender community faces the most violence, followed by women, then men. “The fact the premier tells her story, Kathy Corrigan tells her story – we, as a society, must recognize that we do not tolerate sexualized violence, that the survivor is not the criminal,” Weaver said. He also hopes his bill will leave a legacy with post-secondary institutions. “I hope it empower universities to do the right thing,” he said.

Get out and enjoy the great outdoors Burnaby Outdoor Club marks 25 years with an anniversary event this summer Tereza Verenca

editorial@burnabynow.com

This year marks 25 years since the Burnaby Outdoor Club came into existence. Dave Fletcher, a former Burnaby parks and recreation department staff member, had put an ad in the NOW, asking hiking enthusiasts to meet at the Bonsor Recreation Centre. Around 30 people showed up and crowded into a children’s playroom. “Most us were sitting in those tiny chairs,” recalls Jim McCavour, who’s been with the club since the beginning. “That first year, we probably had 50 or 60 people join.We were up to over 100 in two years.There wasn’t anything else (like it) in Burnaby at that time.” Since 1991, the Burnaby Outdoor Club has promoted outdoor activities by offering a variety of yearround sports, including walks, hiking, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, cycling, kayaking and canoeing. From a multi-day trip to Mount Baker to a stroll around Burnaby Lake, there’s something for everyone, McCavour says. “Come out and enjoy the fresh air and the camaraderie of the people,” he adds. “I was reading an article that said the average North American, throughout the year, spends 93 per cent inside, either in their car, in

an office, at work or in their house.” Elena Antipenkova has been a club member for roughly 10 years.The mother of two grew up in Ukraine, eventually moving to New Zealand for seven years. “When I lived in New Zealand, I saw all this beauty, all the mountains and rivers. I always wanted to see what’s there, what’s up there.” Enrolled in school at the time with two young children, Antipenkova didn’t have many chances to get outdoors. Upon arriving in Canada, she brought with her a new pair of hiking boots. It wasn’t until she attended a Burnaby Outdoor Club Christmas party and won a backpack that she knew she had to join. One of her favourite trips was a hike to Akamina Ridge in southern Alberta. “It was one of those moments in your life – and I’ve had just few – when you look and say, ‘Wow, God, thank you that I’m able to see this beauty,” Antipenkova said of the 24-kilometre trek. “It was a really strenuous hike and when you see this beauty, only few of us are able to see, then you really start appreciating it.” To celebrate the quartercentury milestone, the club will be hosting a celebration on July 16. Current and past members are invited to

participate in a walk/hike, with a barbecue to follow. Membership, meanwhile, has been on a decline over the last few years, according to McCavour. It currently hovers around 40. He thinks the club’s fee of $30 a year, which covers the cost of insurance, could be one deterrent.With free “meet-ups” – or very impromptu gatherings – occurring all over the Lower Mainland, it’s hard to compete. “One has over 9,000 members,” McCavour said of a Facebook group. There’s also the club’s aging demographic, with most members above 40 years old. “When the club started, everyone was in their mid20s to early 40s at the highest,” says the retiree. Despite that, McCavour encourages the outdoorsy types to give the club a try. Each outing is capped at 12 people to ensure an intimate and not-so-overcrowded experience. Hikers can also rest assured they’re in good hands because each hike is led by someone who’s done it before. And don’t be surprised if you happen to meet Mr. or Mrs. Right. “There even have been a few marriages that have happened because of the club,” he said with a laugh. Visit burnabyoutdoor. com for more information.

The hills are alive: Elena Antipenkova, a member of the Burnaby Outdoor Club for 10 years, is seen on the Akamina Ridge trail in southern Alberta. It’s one of her favourite hikes, she says. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

City now Student tops in Canada Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby school district’s computer networking technician program at Burnaby South produced its first gold medal at the 22nd annual Skills Canada National Competition this month. Grade 12 student Calvin Leung earned top spot on the podium for IT network systems administration at the Olympic-style skills competition, which wrapped up in Moncton, N.B.Wednesday. In just his first year of competition, Leung captured a spot at the national contest by winning gold at the provincial competition in Abbotsford in April. “At first, I was a bit nervous,” he said of the national competition, “but after that it was very exciting.” The biggest challenge, he said, was the troubleshooting segment. “They gave you a broken machine, and you had to solve it,” he said. “Some of those parts, I wasn’t sure if I

could get it right.” But he did get it right – much to the delight of his Burnaby South tech ed teacher Eddie Wong. “It is very rewarding and just encouraging,”Wong said of Leung’s gold medal performance. “Calvin is a very knowledgeable student

It is very rewarding and just encouraging and he has a passion for IT, and his gold medal victory is really an affirmation that he is going to be successful in the IT field.” Leung, a student at Burnaby North, attends Wong’s computer networking technician program on alternate days. Launched in 2009, the district program, which accepts up to 22 students each year, offers advanced placement credits at BCIT and the University of the Fraser Valley.

“It is a fairly special program,”Wong said – but bronze and silver at the provincial level was the best any student had done at the skills competitions until this week. Wong credits Leung’s success to passion and solid training. “I think he has a personal interest in computers and technology,”Wong said, “and he spends time at home as a hobby configuring and studying computers, that, coupled with the fact that we teach the program here.” Leung, who plans to attend BCIT next year, said he has liked playing on computers since he was a kid and now tends to be the person friends and family come to with their computer problems. Lucky for them, that’s part of what Leung likes about working with the machines. “I like the aspect of helping people out with issues that they might have,” he said.

Congratulations Congratulations to Burnaby Now’s very own multi-media account manager Jennifer Kastelein. Jennifer won the prestigious presidents club award for top sales and was treated to a week away in the Mayan Riviera earlier this year.

Retailles is French for “scraps” or “trimming,” and the exhibition focuses on Fafard’s exploration of the laser-cut process and his creative renderings of its byproducts – “not only referencing the act of removing the negative from positive space to create form, but also referring to the act of recycling these ‘out-cuts’ to create new works,” as a

Water speech nets silver An impassioned speech on the global water crisis earned a Burnaby French immersion student a silver medal at a national public speaking contest. Alpha Secondary Grade 12 student Hamish Clinton advanced to the Canadian Parents for French Concours d’art oratoire national competition, held in Gatineau, Que. on May 28th, after winning gold in the early immersion category at the provincial event on May 7 in Surrey. Up against 11 other competitors from across Canada in his category, Clinton won second place for his speech “La crise globale de l’eau.” The Alpha grad has since been offered scholarships from the University of Ottawa, l’Université de SaintBoniface, the University of Moncton and l’Université Sainte-Anne. Six other Burnaby students took home top awards at the 33rd annual Canadian Parents for French B.C. &Yukon provincial competition earlier in the month. First-place finishes went to Burnaby North Grade 10

Communitynow Develop these skills to build emotional wellness DavidicusWong HEALTHWISE

editorial@burnabynow.com

Over a quarter century ago, Robert Fulghum shared his wisdom in the bestseller, All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. He reminded us that we could live good and happy lives by simply following the rules of kindergarten. But I can’t say that everything I needed to know to help my patients become healthier and achieve their potentials I learned in medical school. Don’t get me wrong; we learned a lot in medical school.We were taught by professors and clinicians in every field of medicine. In hospitals and clinics, we learned to apply the science of medicine to the individual. After I started practice, I learned even more from my patients, refining the art of medicine. Sharing in the stories of my patients’ lives, I was privy to the wisdom of the ages. Early in my career, I knew

ognize our moods and thoughts without struggling, clinging or identifying with them, we can see how our moods shade our thoughts and how our recurrent thoughts can perpetuate negative moods.With practice, we can choose more skillful thoughts, question erroneous beliefs and retrain our minds. Dialectical Behavioural therapy (DBT) is a form of cognitive behavioural therapy that is integrated with mindfulness practices, including the attitude of radical acceptance.

that in order to guide my patients to achieve their potential for health, I had to continually grow and learn myself.What I learned and have subsequently shared with many of my patients were the secrets to that elusive goal we all seek: happiness.These are the skills essential to emotional wellness.

1. MINDFULNESS This is more than just meditation, although that’s how it’s first taught: sitting in a quiet room, attending to the breath, the sounds and sensations of the moment.This can calm the body, quiet the mind, reduce anxiety and relieve stress. With practice, we gain awareness and insight into this life, and the attitudes of mindfulness – including unconditional acceptance, nonjudging, nonidentification, equanimity and compassion spill over into all of your daily activities.

3. HEALTHY RELATIONSHIP SKILLS Too often we neglect the daily care of our relationships, but when we’re in conflict, this accounts for the drama in our lives. How can we assertively express our needs while maintaining healthy relationships? What are the keys to effective communication? How do we express and recognize love?

2. COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY When we are able to rec-

4. THE DAILY MANAGEMENT OF STRESS

If we neglect any of the four foundations of selfcare: healthy eating, healthy physical activity, healthy relationships and emotional wellbeing, we will eventually have a lot of homework to catch up on.These are the things we must attend to on a daily basis, yet we also need skills in shifting our perspective and solving difficult problems.

medical school, I learned how to teach others to visualize themselves having achieved their greatest goals.

5. CREATIVE VISUALIZATION. We’re all pretty good at identifying problems and complaining about them, but to achieve your potential, you have to see it first. What are your greatest goals, what do you love to do and where do you find meaning? Once you’ve found your life’s purpose, you can set incremental goals. One of the secrets of success is to engage your subconscious mind.Too often we are in a trance of negative self-talk and limiting core beliefs about ourselves. Even before medical school, I practiced self-hypnosis. It helped me achieve my goals. After

Rough Burnaby boxla duo to play for B.C. go for Girls shine in provincial bantam tryout, earning a spot at Canadian nationals next month Lakers Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

It’s already been a long B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League season for the Burnaby Lakers. Burnaby continued its fall on hard times, falling 16-6 to the Delta Islanders on Sunday, putting their losing streak at seven games. It was a close contest – in the first period. Delta scored just 1:51 into the first period but Wyatt Pinder drew the Lakers even with a marker at 2:30. The visiting Islanders broke the stalemate at 4:57 with Chase Fraser’s first of five.They upped the margin to 3-1, but the game still was within reach as the two teams headed to the dressing room after 20 minutes. Delta totally dominated the middle frame, scoring seven unanswered goals. While Burnaby would show signs of life in the third, trading two-goal outbursts, their fate was cast. Pinder finished with three goals, while Jordan Gabriele counted a goal and three assists in the loss. Rounding out the Laker scores were Brydan Heisler and Colin Gormley. Burnaby will try to end its freefall on Saturday when they visit Nanaimo, who sit tied for last place with the Lakers at 2-11. On Sunday, Port Coquitlam pays a visit (7 p.m.) to the Copeland Sports Centre in Burnaby.

In their passion for lacrosse, friends Cassie Chan and Jaime Richards have turned heads. Whether it is while playing on boys teams or standouts on their Burnaby bantam girls squad, the pair have made the sport their own. Add the provincial team to the list of acchievements. The pair were among 18 players selected to represent B.C. next month at the bantam girls national championships in Calgary. The process to earn a spot on the roster pitted them against 64 others in a series of round-robin games, with coaches evaluating from the stands. “They were watching us over three days, how we played together on our teams and how we played (individually),” said Chan, 14. “I was just thinking I had to play as hard as I could. It was about pushing to do my best.” An offensive player, Chan demonstrated plenty of what it takes to wear the ‘Team B.C.’ logo. Richards, a netminder, faced a different challenge. “I was so nervous because all the goalies were real good,” she said. “I needed to stand out as best I could.” It’s what she’s done since she first picked up a stick six years ago, quickly deciding that netminding was a good

place to be. “My first season I played out and halfway through the season I got to try (goaltending),” said Richards. A Cariboo Hill Secondary student, Richards played peewee with a boys team and practices with the A2 boys. “They shoot a lot harder and they stick handle better, but girls can be just as

serious.” For Chan, as part of her preparation she turned to a teacher at Burnaby Central – New Westminster Salmonbellies captain Curtis Hodgson. “He helped me on my shots, and gave me tips on shooting lower and do more fakes and dekes,” said Chan. The B.C. team, coached by lacrosse Hall of Fam-

er Chris Gill, will head to Calgary with big ambitions. A year ago, Ontario won the bantam title with a 4-3 overtime decision over B.C. At the 2014 peewee provincials, both carted off hardware even though the team missed a top-three finish. Richards was named a Warrior Fair Play recipient, while Chan earned a place on the peewee all-star team.

An accomplished high performance soccer player, Chan also serves as the captain to her Burnaby girls lacrosse team. It’s all going to help when the real games begin, she said. “I think we definitely won’t be backing down, especially when we play the top players from other provinces,” she said. “It’s who wants it more.”

The squad will enter the 16-team tournament in Monaco vying for one spot to advance to the inaugural rugby sevens event at the Olympics.To capture the single berth, Canada will first have to emerge from its pool, which includes Germany, Sri Lanka and Uruguay. “We are focusing on one game at a time, preparing in detail for that performance and then turning our attention to the next one,” head coach Liam Middleton said. “It’s all about the process, going about our work with intensity.

this tournament knows what the prize is.” Cejvanovic, of the Burnaby Lake Rugby Club, has been in the Canada Sevens lineup all season. Canada enters the tourney after a 13th place finish in the 2015-16 HSBC Sevens Series season, with the highlight a title at the inaugural Canada Sevens at BC Place. Cjevanovic was one of seven players who scored double-digit tries for Canada.

TWO TO PLAY IN WOMEN’S SUPER SERIES The Canadian women’s 15s rugby team will lock horns with England, France and the U.S. in the Women’s Super Series in Salt Lake City, preparing for the 2017 Women’s Rugby World Cup in Ireland.

To do that, a 26-player roster was unveiled Tuesday, which included Burnaby Lake Rugby Club’s Carolyn McEwen and Simon Fraser Rugby’s Demi Stamatakis. For McEwen, this is a return chance as the prop was a member of last year’s lineup which competed at the 2015 Super Series event in Alberta. She is one of 15 holdovers pulling on the red. Stamatakis will make her test match debut for Canada. “England are the World Champions, France just won the Six Nations and USA is always a big battle so the competition will be tough,” head coach Francois Ratier said. “But that is what we need to be better and stronger.” The competition starts July 1 when Can-

ada takes on England.

HARPER TOPS CHILLIWACK STOP Leo Harper posted five birdies over the second round to lock up the Canadian Junior Golf Association’s tour stop in Chilliwack last week. Harper, of Burnaby, led with an even-par 72 after Day 1 of the event to give him a three-stroke advantage heading into the final round.While Vancouver’s Ilirian Zalli registered a tourney-best 68 on Day 2, Harper was almost as hot with a 69 to win the under-15 bantam title by two strokes. In fourth place was Burnaby’s Andy Luo. Luo fired rounds of 78 and 73 to finish at 151 over two days, two shots back of third.

Just Play!

LAMB, Florence (nee Dunn) Florence Lamb, 81 years, passed away on May 25, 2016 at home after a brief and brave struggle with lung cancer. She is predeceased by Norman Lamb “Tuff”, her husband of 44 years, her parents John & Justyna “Jenny” Dumniuk, her sister Elsie Lippon, and her brother Joseph Dunn. Florence was born on February 24, 1935, in a Ukrainian neighbourhood in Winnipeg, Manitoba. When she was 7 years old, her family moved to Vancouver, where she learned English, and they settled in the False Creek area. In 1956, Florence married her love, Norman, who remained her devoted life partner until his passing in 2000. Flo lived in the Burnaby Heights, where Norm built a home for their family. There, they raised four children. Florence was deeply devoted to her family, and enjoyed camping with her children as they were growing up, and volunteering at Rosser Elementary School for field trips & sports days. Her favourite car was her yellow MG Midget sports car.

MYDSKE, Hans I. August 8, 1921 − June 5, 2016

After a wonderful 94 years, Hans passed away on June 5, 2016. His final days were spent surrounded by family and friends. Born in Haramsoy, Norway, on August 8, 1921, Hans is predeceased by his parents, Peter and Kristine; sister, Lilly; and Kay, his true love and wife of almost 62 years. Hans moved to Canada at six years old. As a young adult, he followed in his father’s footsteps, establishing himself as a successful commercial fisherman, braving the Bering Sea in Alaska and providing a comfortable life for his seven children in New Westminster. Hans resided in his family home until he passed away. He is dearly missed by children David (Michelle), Marlene, Sandra (David), Phillip (Caroline), Grant, Kathryn (Lorne), and Chris (Judy). Always on our mind, and forever in our hearts, Grandpa Hans is remembered by his 19 grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren, as well as many other relatives and friends. Hans had a real zest for life, and his presence lit up any room. He had a youthful spirit, never stopped having fun, and enjoyed celebrating every occasion with his family. Hans was the true definition of young at heart.
