‘The community does not give its consent’ Impassioned antipipeline speakers say they will take action, if necessary, to stop pipeline By Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

Burnaby pipeline opponents threw down the gauntlet at the final panel session for the Kinder Morgan expansion last Thursday evening. One by one, dozens of local residents stood at the microphone to voice their opposition, while the federal government’s three-person ministerial panel listened and took notes. Some speakers broke into tears, while others said they were ready for action if the pipeline goes ahead. Local resident John Clarke raised concerns about diluted bitumen and potential disasters at Kinder Morgan’s tank farm, now slated for expansion, close to his home on Burnaby Mountain. “Can you imagine that tank farm if it caught fire,” Clarke asked, holding up a large image of a Puerto Rican tank farm in flames. “There is no social licence in this proud City of Burnaby.The community does not give its consent,” he concluded to resounding applause. Many speakers had been participants – either intervenors or letter writers – in the National Energy Board hearings on the project, and many raised concerns and criticism of the board’s review process. At least two speakers shed tears at the microphone: one woman choked up while describing climate change impacts on people in the Third World; another cited earthquake concerns and the fate of her loved ones. “My family, friends and the environment mean everything to

Bedbugs put the bite on residents

‘This is nuts.The people here are simply not getting the treatment they need. It’s a serious, serious problem’

By Jeremy Deutsch

jdeutsch@burnabynow.com

At a patio table in the back of Swedish Canadian Manor, a group of residents sit around chatting. It’s typically an opportunity for neighbours to kibitz about the day in the warm summer air. But the conversation isn’t so pleasant. The residents have a laundry list of complaints from living in the decadesold building on Duthie Avenue in Burnaby, from dealing with cockroaches and mice, to some kind of antlike insect. However, the biggest problem for these residents is a bedbug infestation. Michael McGonigal has lived in the manor for eight years. At first, there was never a problem with the insects. But the senior said a few years ago, someone brought the bedbugs in and they’ve been a problem ever since. His unit got infested, and had to be sprayed more than a dozen times over the years. “The bed got majorly infested so I had to sleep on my futon,” he told the NOW, estimating at one point, he had to get rid of about $8,000 worth of furniture and clothing. “I virtually had to throw out everything and start from scratch.” Even after several treatment sprays, the bugs kept coming back, and he kept bugging management to take out the carpets and put in new floors. Eventually, the carpets were taken out, and the infestation subsided. He said

the only bedbugs now come from the carpet in the hallway. Michael Glavin has lived in the manor since the fall of 2014 and is in a similar boat as McGonigal. His apartment was recently treated, but that effort hasn’t stopped the return of the critters. Glavin finds himself running bedding through the dryer in the middle of the night and waking up with bites all over. “This is nuts,” he said, noting after one of the treatments, he lifted up the base boards in his apartment to find more bedbugs. Glavin’s complained to management and has been told the problem will be taken care of. But he’s concerned about the residents who aren’t speaking up, suggesting they may be too afraid for fear of getting evicted. “The people here are simply not getting the treatment they need,” he said. “It’s a serious, serious problem.” Swedish Canadian Manor is part of a trio of buildings in the North Burnaby neighbourhood operated by the Swedish Canadian Rest Home Association, which also includes an assisted living residence and Gustav Wasa Place.The latter has 80 one-bedroom units subsidized by B.C. Housing, while Swedish Canadian Manor has 63 units with some of the apartments subsidized by B.C. Housing. Other residents who spoke to the NOW complained of different problems in both of the independent living buildings. Fred Page moved into the man-

or three years ago, and his apartment was quickly overrun by cockroaches. He said he hasn’t used his stove in six months and the oven for even longer because the appliance is infested and waiting to be replaced. “I feel neglected,” he said. I feel like I’m talked to and looked at from management as if I’m less than, and I don’t like that.” The residents decided to

speak out because they want management to take steps to fix the problems in the buildings. But the manager of the building insists everything is being done to address the bedbug problems. Kate Therrien, the property manager with Mender Property Services, said bedbugs have been a longtime issue with the manor. She said the property has spent

Bedbug FAQ’s: What is a bedbug?

Bedbugs are small, reddish-brown insects with flat, oval bodies. They are usually five to seven millimetres long (threeeighths of an inch). They cannot fly, but can travel quickly. Bedbug nymphs (babies) are about one to four millimetres long and yellow-white in colour. Bedbugs feed on the blood of humans and animals. Unlike some parasites, such as fleas or lice, bedbugs do not live on their hosts but only visit them to feed. They are most active at night and usually feed weekly. Most live for four to six months, but some may live up to a year with no food. Female bedbugs can lay about 500 eggs in their lifetime.

“huge” amounts of money to keep the infestation under control. The property managers even invested in a trailer to treat furniture and belongings for bedbugs before new people move into the building.The trailer sits on the lot just outside of the manor. Therrien estimated spending $15,000 to $20,000 in 2015 fighting

Dark spotting and staining on your sheets, pillow, mattress, bed frame, carpets, clothing and other items that come in close contact with your body. The

staining is from their feces and blood from crushed insects. Molted (old) skins and eggshells where bedbugs hide. In severe cases, you may notice an offensive, sweet, musty odour from their scent glands.

How do I prevent bedbugs?

Do not bring infested items into your home. Thoroughly inspect your clothing, backpacks and luggage. When travelling, check the place you are staying in for signs of bedbugs. Store your luggage off the floor and away from the bed, such as on a luggage stand. Clean your home regularly. This includes vacuuming your mattress and cleaning up clutter to reduce the number of places bedbugs can hide. If you buy furniture and bedding from second-hand stores or garage sales, check them for bedbugs.

Can they pass on diseases?

There is no evidence that bedbugs

spread disease to people. However, public health officials remain concerned about bedbugs because scratching a bite can sometimes cause a skin infection, which can become serious. Applying an antiseptic lotion or antibiotic cream to the area can help prevent infection.

How can I get rid of them if I find them in my home?

There are non-chemical and chemical options for treating bed bug infestations. Often, both types of treatments will be required. Getting help from a qualified pest management professional is recommended. Pest control companies often use chemical insecticides or very high heat. More than one application will likely be necessary. -Courtesy of Fraser Health. For more information, go to www.tinyurl.com/ FHBedbugs

City now THE PIPELINE

Conﬂict of interest charge ‘old news’: Baird Panel member defends her impartiality during community consultations in Burnaby By Jennifer Moreau

jmoreau@burnabynow.com

The pipeline panellist at the centre of conflict-of-interest allegations defended her post yesterday last Thursday Kim Baird, one of three appointees to a federal ministerial panel gathering community feedback on the Kinder Morgan pipeline, said the conflict issue was “old news.” “I raised it before I was appointed, and the minister (of natural resources) was not concerned about that leadership exchange so many years ago,” Baird told the NOW at the final session of community consultations in Burnaby on Aug. 11. The leadership exchange was part of an SFU program where Baird was partnered with Ian Anderson, president of Kinder Morgan Canada, in 2010. The two switched places to gain a better understanding of business and First Nations issues.

Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan raised the conflict-of-interest issue on the first day of Burnaby consultations, but Baird doesn’t see a problem. “I really don’t think it will impact my ability to record what I hear and report that to the minister,” Baird told the NOW. As for the panel hearings, Baird said she’s heard a lot of concerns about climate change, oil spills, bitumen properties, impacts to landowners and lack of adequate consultation with First Nations. “In our view, the fact that the terms of reference (for the NEB pipeline review) did not include climate change is something we will bring to the minister’s attention.That process wasn’t designed to deal with that or the other things that people have raised,” Baird said. The pipeline’s potential impacts in Burnaby are quite different, as the terminus is here, Baird said. “The residents them-

sions ended Thursday evening with more than 40 speakers.The panellists are visiting communities along the pipeline and marine shipping route. So far, they’ve covered territo-

ry from Calgary to Burnaby, and they’ve received more than 16,000 online submissions – both surveys and comments. Up next are Vancouver, North Vancouver and Victoria.

Burnaby residents speak out on pipeline proposal “There’s hundreds or maybe thousands of people in our city who are ready to risk arrest if that’s what it takes.” Bob Hackett, SFU communication professor and resident of Village del Ponte, a Burnaby housing complex sandwiched between two possible pipeline routes. “We have no confidence in Kinder Morgan at all.” Elan Gibson, member of Burnaby Residents Opposing Kinder Morgan Expansion. “If we want a liveable planet,

we have to transition off fossil fuels as fast as possible.” Susanne Jackson, Burnaby resident. “If the Liberal government approves this pipeline, they will regret it. Opposition won’t go away. We are just getting started. If Mayor (Derek) Corrigan honours his commitment to sit in front of a bulldozer, we will join him.” Angelika Hackett, Village del Ponte resident. “If they don’t listen, we will be out there and we will stop the

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Giving the feds an easy way out

Kim Baird, one of the members of the federal ministerial panel touring B.C. this month discovered, to no one’s surprise, that people in Burnaby don’t want the pipeline here. As she told the Burnaby NOW, “The residents themselves and the numbers (that have) come (to the hearings) just show how concerned they are about the project.That’s different from other areas we’ve seen so far.”

She also said that the panel would advise the government that “in our view, the fact that the terms of reference (for the NEB pipeline review) did not include climate change is something we will bring to the minister’s attention. That process wasn’t designed to deal with that or the other things that people have raised,” Baird said. And that’s it in a nutshell. The process wasn’t de-

signed to deal with a lot of very important things that would seem to be, well, just common sense. By noting the process failure the panel has basically drawn a big arrow to a gigantic loophole for the federal government to use.The federal government can now shrug its collective shoulders and say it has no justification for putting the kibosh on the pipeline. After all, you can’t go back and change the process, can you? Well,

you can. And you should. But odds are good that the federal government won’t despite promises by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to take a new, more environmentally friendly approach to governing. This is not reassuring. Just last month a rupture in the Husky oil pipeline in norther Saskatchewan resulted in a disastrous impact on the area and the North Saskatchewan River, which supplies water to

thousands of people in the province. The leak is estimated at roughly 1,572 barrels of oil and other toxins. And despite recovery efforts officials admit that globs of oil at the bottom of the river will never be cleaned up. Wildlife was, of course, immediately impacted and the long-term effects will probably never be known. Now, pipeline proponents will say it was an old pipeline and the new pipe-

lines to Burnaby will be safer. But they also can’t guarantee no accidents either on land or in the inlet. And that’s just not good enough. We hope this panel bucks up and tells the ministers that the process was flawed, the recommendation was wrong, and this project needs to be stopped in its tracks. But we won’t hold our collective breath.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Cash cows are in jeopardy Despite increasingly loud calls from various quarters to stop doing it, don’t expect the B.C. Liberal government (or any subsequent government, for that matter) to willingly stop using Crown corporations as cash cows. But we may be approaching the day when a B.C. government may not have any choice other than to stop the practice. Governments everywhere are increasingly desperate for more and more revenues to fund a steadily rising demand for services – particularly in health care – yet are loath to take the once-traditional route and raise income taxes. So they turn to things like fees and premiums and government-owned entities like Crown corporations, which can kick money back to central government even if their own bottom lines suggest they can’t afford to do that. For Exhibits A and B, I give you the Insurance Corporation of B.C. and B.C. Hydro. Between them, B.C. Hydro and ICBC are forecast to give the provincial government hundreds of millions of dollars a year over the next three years, despite the fact that their own financial pictures are darkening. For example, B.C. Hydro now expects to receive about $3.5 billion less revenue over the next 10 years than was forecast just last year.The dramatic drop in commodity prices has had a significant impact on many of its industrial custom-

ers (such as mines) so not as much power will be purchased by them. As well, B.C. Hydro has yet to demonstrate it can pay down its many “deferral accounts,” which are expenses to be paid off at a later date, rather like a credit card. In fact, instead of hitting its target of reducing those accounts, B.C. Hydro has allowed them to grow by a further $1.1 billion. Yet the provincial government has told the Crown corporation it still must fork over more than $2 billion to central government over the next three years. As for ICBC, it is facing serious financial pressures that look to worsen over time. Its compulsory basic insurance plan lost $256 million in 2015 and $450 million had to be transferred from its more popular optional policy plan to cover for it. Rick McCandless, a veteran retired senior civil servant, has done an analysis of ICBC’s financial situation. He notes that claims cost are rising by leaps and bounds, that low interest rates are hurting ICBC’s huge bond assets and, perhaps most importantly, the corporation’s capital reserves are in danger of dropping to dangerous levels. McCandless describes the two Crown corporations as ticking financial time bombs. If he’s right, they can’t be used as cash cows much longer. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Let’s see proof of the ‘political will,’ please

Dear Editor Re: Time for action on harm reduction, Our View, Burnaby NOW, Aug. 12. Excellent op-ed on the tragedy of losing one or two people a day to drug overdoses in B.C., and the need to treat this as a health issue and not a moral issue. Families complain poignantly about how difficult it is to get timely treatment for their troubled youth, but here in Burnaby the evidence is that gaps in care and support are even greater than in other communities. The Burnaby NOW suggests that the “political will is there,” but what are the indicators of that? Of course, Burnaby council will reply that this isn’t its responsibility, but I’d like to hear from council if, and how, anyone has ever lobbied senior levels of government to provide the care and support that is so obvious to all. How about sponsoring a resolution to the Union of B.C. Municipalities? We could also ask Burnaby MLAs – current and hopeful – to explain what they think needs to be done. Their answers could be printed in the Burnaby NOW. Then we could see if the political will is really there. Mae Burrows, by email

Red tape isn’t helping the rental situation Dear Editor When I read the stories about homelessness, I wonder why no one ever mentioned the red tape landlords have to deal with when trying to evict a troublesome tenant. Many landlords leave affordable suites empty rather than deal with the Residential Tenancy Branch and the paperwork involved. Hildegard Weber, Burnaby

Not too late for council to show its heart Dear Editor The mayor and council have not engaged in good quality thinking regarding development in Metrotown, Brentwood, Edmonds, and Lougheed. Mayor Corrigan, in the winter 2015 InfoBurnaby said, “Our four town centres – Metrotown, Brentwood, Edmonds and Lougheed – are the unique complete communities envisioned with you more than 20 years ago, focusing density and enabling us to keep 25 percent of our city as park and green space, and protecting single-family neighbourhoods.” However, over the 20 years why didn’t the past and present mayors and councils engage in thoughtful timely reviews of the developments and their impacts on neighbourhoods? I believe if they had used available data regarding the communities changing social and economic circumstances in timely reviews, they could have planned “with us” a more sensitive, caring outcome. Perhaps the focus, as pointed out by Mayor Corrigan, needed reviews. Reviews more reflective of a caring, social democratic government rather than a Conservative-style of government? It is not too late for the mayor and council to engage their thinking regarding the social impacts of decisions made 20 years ago. Hopefully they have not missed an opportunity to demonstrate the good traits of social governance. Frank Mesich, via email

TRENDING

Ward’s complaint to ombudsperson sparks reader debate Plain Jane Before the end of August, please make sure that you respond to the Metrotown Downtown survey to tell the Mayor and his Council what you think about their vision which, after their heartless approvals, will displace an entire village of renters to make room for high rises. They are asking for 12+ storeys everywhere, but we know that this could mean 40+ storeyseverywhere. A wall of concrete with many empty apartmentsand a resort like atmosphere. No guaranteed and affordable rental apartments. How many luxury cars do we have to endure on our clogged streets while our kids need to leavethe town they were born and raised in because they cannot afford to live here. Are you going to missyour kid? How about your grandchildren. Thank Corrigan while you shed tears. Or toughen up, because life is not fair. Well, it can and should be fair. Finally, to those callous guys that smear the goal of keeping these affordable rentals alive and well, I wish them and their loved ones to experience the same misery and stress that these renters experience every day. Our Mayordoes not seem to be a leftist anymore. I wonder what NDP has to say about his far-right, heavy handed approach to running the city at a time when affordable accommodation is the top political problem in Greater Vancouver. Harmel Guram I am not a supporter of demovictions. However, I don’t know if I can fully oppose a person or entity’s right to do with their property what they feel is in their best financial interest. After all, THEY have a financial stake in the property in question. I also am not portraying the issue as a battle in the war between the ideologies of capitalism vs socialism as you appear to be doing and portraying yourselves as “selfless activists.” You are not going to garner support from me by lumping me into one of two sides of your bipolar view of the world and you definitely will not have my support when questionable people with questionable motives are part of your movement for political reasons. Metrotown Residents I expect those that support The Mayor’s policy of demovictiion and leadership style will continue to use Ms. Ward’s past affiliation to discredit her complaint. This is exactly why we need a third party to assess the legal merits of the complaint.

‘It’s obvious land values are going to skyrocket’ Businessman and realty firm in a court fight over Metrotown-area properties that sold for $40 million Continued from page 5 “The bonus agreement was created by Laura ... solely for her own personal gain and for no benefit whatsoever to Wang,” the claim states. While Wang’s lawsuit contains few details about the deals for the properties at 6525, 6559 and 6585 Sussex Avenue, a suit filed on July 11 by Vancouver Home Park Realty Ltd. against Wang states that the properties ultimately sold for $40 million.The realty firm claims in a notice of civil claim that Wang had an “exclusive listing agreement” with the firm for the three properties, listing them for $38.7 million between Nov. 30, 2015, and May 30, 2016. “The plaintiff actively marketed the properties for the defendant in accordance with the terms of

the exclusive listing agreement,” the claim states. “Unbeknownst to the plaintiff, while the exclusive listing agreement was still in effect, the defendant hired another agent to market the properties.” Vancouver Home Park Realty claims Wang owes more than $1.5 million in commissions under the listing agreement. The company’s lawyer refused to comment. “At this time we would have no comment as to what Mr.Wang did, or didn’t, do and we are not in a position to speak to his motivations,” Kevin McKenzie of Cummings McKenzie stated in an email to Business inVancouver. Wang’s lawyer also refused to comment on the lawsuits or the size of the deal. “At the heart of this liti-

gation matter is the real estate commission bonus dispute, and not the purchase price of the properties in issue,” Bernard Lau stated in an email.

The city picks where they want to throw highrises, and you just get, you know, a lottery ticket.

None of the lawsuits’ allegations have been tested or proven in court. Realtor Casey Weeks, a vice-president with Colliers International who handled

the sale of 6585 Sussex, told Business inVancouver in a phone interview that he couldn’t comment on the lawsuits involving Wang and Vancouver Home Park Realty. But Weeks said the deal’s price and assessed values of the properties are so far apart because the current zoning allows for a 40-storey highrise on lands currently occupied by low-rise rental stock. “It’s a prime location,” Weeks said. “It’s right across from the SkyTrain station.Transit-oriented development is desirable for condo buyers and retailers and office users who will all be part of the mixed-use development whenever it’s redeveloped.When you go from a very low- or medium-density site to a high-

rise site, it’s going to fetch a much higher price, and that’s what happened.” According to land title documents, all three properties are now owned by 6511 Sussex Height Development Ltd., which was formerly a numbered B.C. company. It shares an address with Thind Properties Ltd. on Kingsway, but no one from the company responded to BIV’s request for comment by press time. For broker Brandon Harding with NAI Commercial, the size of the deal at the heart of the lawsuits was surprising, but not unpredictable. Harding wrote in May of last year that Metrotown was experiencing a “calm before the storm” due to the City of Burnaby’s aggressive land-use

Having been involved in many deals in the area, including the properties that were the subject of so-called “demoviction” protests, he said that prices in the area are indeed rising due to future development potential. “The city picks where they want to throw highrises, and you just get, you know, a lottery ticket,” Harding told BIV in a phone interview. “Your profits basically double. When you can put a big tower on a little piece of land, it’s obvious that the land values are going to skyrocket. And when you take away all that [rental] supply, obviously people are going to get upset.”

Outstanding citizens earn provincial honour Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Burnaby currently leads the pack when it comes to outstanding B.C. citizens who serve their communities with no expectation of payment or reward. Of the 20 or so Medals of Good Citizenship handed out by the provincial government since last July, two have gone to local residents. Ray Abernethy was recognized last month for his work with the Helping Families in Need Society, which collects donations of clothing and household goods to help single parents on income assistance, women in transition, new immigrant families, fire victims, seniors and others. Launched 35 years ago in Abernethy’s garage, the organization now operates out of a 585 square-metre (6,500 square-foot) warehouse and helps more than 1,300 families a year. More than 65 Lower Mainland agencies and government offices rely on the Helping Families in Need services by

referring clients to the organization. “I am honoured to be recognized by the Province of British Columbia for my volunteer work,” Abernethy said in a press release about the award. “I encourage others to volunteer and make a meaningful, positive,

impact on the well-being of our communities. I have met a diverse range of families and volunteers who inspire and motivate me every day and find volunteering very rewarding.Together, we really can make a difference.” Last Wednesday, the prov-

People who have not lost a child will never understand what we are going through

F45 Port Coquitlam Port Coquitlam, BC

Parents who are suffering the unimaginable loss of a child now have more help available in Burnaby.The local chapter of The Compassionate Friends hosts a regular support group for parents whose children have died, and organizer Grace Van Gauthier has added a second monthly meeting. “The love you have never dies. People who have not lost a child will never understand what we are going through,” said Van Gauthier. “If you don’t deal with grief, you’re just postponing your grief.You need to talk about it. And you need people to understand that the love you have for your child is there till the last breath.” The story of how Van Gauthier lost her son, Shaun, ran in the Burna-

ter is in a good place where more people can come. Every month, more parents are coming.” The Compassionate Friends meets for two hours, once a month, to share their stories of grief. The next meeting is on Thursday, Aug. 18 at 7 p.m. on the fifth floor of the Pioneer Resource Centre at 4535 Kingsway. More newly grieving parents have been joining the group, so Van Gauthier has added a second meeting. Van Gauthier said usually mothers come to the meetings, but now more fathers are showing up as well. Van Gauthier also needs more volunteers to help run the group.

Artsnow PROFILE

Taryn Faustman Occupation DANCER Why is she in the news?

Taryn Faustman isn’t your typical millennial. The 25-year-old dancer from Burnaby has travelled to all seven continents as a result of her dancing career. Her resume includes an endless list of stage and theatre performances, as well as work in film, television and the corporate world. You might have seen her dance on a Royal Caribbean or Holland America cruise ship, or caught her performing on A&E’s horror TV show Bates Motel. As a teenager, Faustman won the B.C. provincial dance title five years in a row and was chosen to represent Canada at a prestigious competition in Australia, where she placed in the

How long have you danced for? I started when I was nine. My best friend was dancing, so she brought me into a ballet class. I was actually really into soccer before. I was a hard-core tomboy. I took my first ballet class and then after that, I realized I really, really liked it and stayed in.The foundation was ballet. From that, you can take any other classes, so I took jazz, musical theatre, tap and hip hop. You competed a lot during your teenage years.Was it hard to manage both dance and high school? To be honest, and this sounds horrible, but I put dance first. My parents had to drill, ‘No, you have to

top three amongst dancers from around the world. Her latest stint was in the United States, where she trained in Vegas and L.A. This fall, she’s heading to Qatar in the Middle East for a 10-month dancing contract that will see a new cirque-type show open in that country. Despite her success, the road to get to the top hasn’t always been easy. Gigs usually involve coming back to Burnaby to live with her parents while she saves up enough money to go abroad again. The NOW recently caught up with Faustman, who’s back in the city, to check in on how things are going. – Tereza Verenca

do your school work,’ because I was so in love with dance. I did go to a halfday program, so I was only in school from 8:45 a.m. to 12 p.m. I did two courses a day and I would dance the rest of the day. It definitely was hard. I’d have to come home and it would be 10 p.m. and I’d be like, oh crap, this is due tomorrow and I’d have to bust out an essay. What was your first job out of high school? Right out of high school, I went to Royal Caribbean and got onto the ship. From there, I just went on and decided, you know what, I want to travel and see where this can take me. It has to do with networking. Since I’ve been home, I’ve been booking quite a bit of commercials, which is great. What kind of audience do you like performing for? Television, film, the-

Her career has taken her all over the world. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED atre or corporate? I like live performances on stage because you get something in return, which is the feedback from the audience. If you’re on film, it’s the director saying ‘OK, cut’ and you’re like well, hello, did you see how good I did? I go on stage and I want people to watch me.The rehearsal process beforehand,

you’re like, OK, I’m working my ass off right now, and I’m eventually going to go on stage.You don’t have room for flaws. Everything you’ve practised has to be perfect. What kind of obstacles have you encountered in your career? The dancing here in Van-

couver is not as big as I feel every dancer here wishes it was.There’s no shows that are going on constantly.There’s just not enough work here, so for me, it’s like where can I go and live and do my job every single day? I really would love to go to the United States because there’s so much work

there and everything I want to do is there.That’s what it is. It’s struggling to be like, OK, I need to save up enough money while I’m at home, but also find a balance of trying to dance. Everyone always preaches do what you love, but sometimes you have to make sacrifices. Continued on page 14

Catch the Hip’s ﬁnal concert on screen in city LIVELY CITY

editorial@burnabynow.com

If you’re one of the many folks who didn’t get their hands on a pair of Tragically Hip tickets, head over to Civic Square on Saturday, Aug. 20 to catch a free outdoor screening of their last concert in Kingston, Ont. Bring a blanket or lawn chair and settle in for the evening. To kick things off, there will be a live musical perfor-

mance by folk/pop musician Zaac Prick at 4:30 p.m., followed by the CBC screening at 5:30 p.m. While the event is being offered at no cost, donations will be accepted in support of the Canadian Cancer Society.You can also text FIGHT to 20222 to donate to brain cancer research. Just so city staff know how many people will be in attendance, anyone interested in going is asked to RSVP via Facebook (www. burnaby.ca/outdoorscreen ing).

Dancer’s path is not an easy road

Continued from page 11 So you fully fund your trips? Yes, completely. I went to Australia for a bit, blew through my money and had to come back home and start from square one again. I went back to the studio that I taught at, just saved all my money. Luckily, my parents don’t make me pay rent, so I saved up everything and then went to the States recently. But all on my own dime. I ran out of money, so it’s like OK, time to go back home. I come back home to regroup and then I go do something. I’m definitely at a point in my life where I need to make the commitment to stay in one place. Any mistakes you’ve made that you’d like to share? Definitely read your contract.You can get walked over in this industry and I think a lot of times, dancers go, ‘I’ll do it just because I’m dancing.’ But it’s like no, this is your job.You should put your foot down and be like, ‘This is how much I get paid.’ I’ve made that mistake before and got screwed over. It is what it is now, but now I’m more cautious.

You spoke of teaching. How did that come about? The director of The DanceLAB in Coquitlam reached out to me when I was young. I think I was like 19 or something. I didn’t ever really think of teaching because I just wanted to dance. From there I realized, OK, I’m kind of good at this. It’s great because I

can also fall back on that if I have some down time. I get to tell my students the life struggles, and be like, ‘Hey, be ready for this.’ I want my students to be prepared for it because I had to learn the hard way.

Any other message you hope students take away from your classes? To work their ass off. I always ask my students, ‘Why are you here if you’re not going to work hard?’ It’s not just in dance, it’s in any industry. Hard word does pay off.You just have to keep going at it.Work hard. Show up. In this industry, there

You just have to keep going at it. Work hard. are so many let-downs, but you can’t let that define you. Cry it out for the day or something, but get back in the saddle. You’re working towards some business endeavors to further performing arts. Expand on that. While I’ve been home in the last four months teaching, I’ve realized that all my students who graduate are like, ‘This is where I want to go, I don’t know how to do it.’What I would love to do is a post-graduation thing. It would be me and a few other people guiding people, just getting dancers where they want to be.That’s what I would have loved to have.

The Hip’s lead singer, Gord Downie, was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer last December. In May, the band announced a summer tour. “This feels like the right thing to do now, for Gord, and for all of us,” said The Hip in an online statement. “So, we’re going to dig deep, and try to make this our best tour yet.” OF PAST AND PRESENT History and art have converged at the Bob Prittie library branch.

7 WAYS TO MAKE MORNINGS LESS HECTIC

Make school and work mornings less harried with some easy tips to add to routines.

Mornings can be tricky when family members are getting ready for school and work at the same time. By practicing a few daily rituals, it’s possible to curb the rush and start the day happier and more relaxed. - MC

Many families find the rush is on to make it to school and work on time each morning. Feeling rushed in the morning is a recipe for added stress. Rushing through things is a poor way to begin a day, and those feelings of uneasiness can put a damper on the rest of the day ahead. Making mornings less hectic involves a few different strategies that parents and kids can easily incorporate into their daily routines.

Wake up slightly earlier. Getting up earlier than normal, even if it’s just 15 to 20 minutes before you’re accustomed to getting out of bed, can help reduce morning stress. Resist the temptation to hit the snooze button over and over again. A few extra minutes each morning can make you feel more relaxed and make for a smooth, stress-free start to the day.

2. 3.

Get some work done the night before. Prepare lunches the night before and have them ready in the refrigerator. In addition, lay your clothes for the following day out each night. This saves time and takes a couple more things off your morning to-do list. Ease back into a routine. As a new school year dawns or a long vacation comes to an end, begin going to bed earlier and start waking up earlier as well. This can make the transition from carefree mornings to busy mornings go more smoothly.

4. 5. 6. 7.

Prep backpacks in the evening. Look through folders, sign paperwork, check assignments, and do whatever is you need to do the night before to save your family from having to scramble in the morning. This ensures those permission slips get signed and items make it back into school bags. Opt for school lunch a few times. Look ahead on the school lunch menu and speak with children about which meals they enjoy. Let kids purchase school lunch on those days to give yourself a day off from lunch detail. Have quick breakfast foods available. Smoothies, cereal bars, oatmeal, and whole-grain cereals are fast and nutritious ways to start the day.

Carpool whenever possible. Busy families can save themselves extra work by proposing a neighborhood carpool. Sharing school drop off detail frees time up for parents once or twice a week, and kids may enjoy traveling to school with their friends.

Burnaby wins to play again Lakers avoid a sweep and force Game 5 inVictoria Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Nothing like a dose of urgency to bring life to a dire situation. The Burnaby Lakers staved off elimination on Sunday with a 10-8 victory over the Victoria Shamrocks in their Western Lacrosse Association best-of-seven semifinal. The win put Burnaby in the win column but trailing 3-1 in the series, with Game 5 on Wednesday in Victoria. While the ‘need to win’ was apparent, it never got to the point of desperation, remarked first-year sniper Josh Byrne, who tallied three times in the contest. “To a point there was (urgency). I thought we just had to stick to our game plan. A lot of times things go wrong when you try and change things up,” he said. Burnaby never trailed, but witnessed a potent Shamrock rally that pulled the defending Mann Cup champions within a goal with 2:31 remaining in the third.That’s when the defence and netminder Zak Boychuk stood their ground. Byrne iced it with 32 seconds left on a solo effort where he circled behind the net and emerged on the right side, beating ‘Rocks netminder Adam Shute. A textbook finish, but hectic still. “We just said, ‘Boys let’s stay together here and kill as much clock as we can, get another shot’ and I knew our defence and (Boychuk) would stand up for us,” he said. Prior to that,Victoria countered two Laker markers with three straight of their own, two by Rhys Duch, to make it 9-8. The Shamrocks, who’ve orchestrated some impressive momentum swings over the first three games of the series, are always dangerous. “(Victoria has) a lot of offensive power,” noted Peter McFetridge, who scored midway through the third to give Burnaby an 8-5 lead. “When they got in the six-on-five situations and (scored) a couple of goals there, the worst case scenario runs through your head. But we made good adjustments on our defence and were able to shut them down the last couple of minutes.” Boychuk made 16 saves in the final 20 minutes, while Dane Stevens’ goal with 6:37 to play stood Continued on page 20

Hastings no-hits way to World Series Burnaby boys play huge role inVancouver team’s Canadian Little League final win Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

While the PNE Playland’s tallest attractions loom noisily along the outfield skyline of Hastings Community Park, none of those rides could match the thrills dished out by the Hastings Major All-Stars this week. A near-spotless performance framed the All Stars’ 1-0 victory over Whalley on Saturday to claim the Canadian Little League national baseball title before a packed crowd at the idyllic Hastings street ballpark. The hometown squad, made up of players from west Burnaby and east Vancouver, silenced Whalley’s bats with a combined no-hitter from two pitchers, catapulting Hastings to the Little League World Series this week in Williamsport, Pa. The game’s lone run was scored in the bottom of the fifth inning, when Nicola Barba drove a 3-2 pitch into left field to plate Matteo Ripoli.The hit came with the bases loaded, after Whalley had called in their ace thrower, Haiden Letzing, to face Barba. Burnaby’s Loreto Siniscalchi

anchored the All-Stars’ no-hitter, hurling five innings and the maximum allowed 85 pitches, before reliever Stefano Dal Sasso, also of Burnaby, wrapped it up in the sixth. Siniscalchi struck out 13 and walked four in what could only be described as a dominating performance before a jam-packed crowd of 4,000 people. “I just tried to find my groove, my preferable spot with the ball and once I found it, I found my groove (and) I was more into the game,” said Siniscalchi in an interview on the ball diamond moments after the final out. “I was going to do as much as I can. “It took a team effort and everyone did their best, the best job they could do.We won as a team.” Truer words couldn’t be said, as Hastings’ 11-to-13 year olds outlasted its competition and posted a brilliant 8-0 record over the 10day tournament, which brought seven teams together from as far away as Sydney, NS. Hastings’ biggest test came on the second day, a 5-4 triumph over provincial champion Whalley that set the table for the eventual rematch. They outscored the competi-

tion 74-9 during the tourney. In that final, the two teams brought their best to the diamond. After walking three batters in the first three innings, Siniscalchi settled down and limited the Surrey side to just one base runner over the next two. At the other side,Whalley’s Colton Frick was nearly as sharp, limiting Hastings

to a double in the third before the fateful fifth inning. Scoreless after four-and-a-half innings, Hastings launched an impressive rally, with a pair of oneout singles and an error to load the bases. It put Barba, who tied Siniscalchi with 17 RBI in the tourney, on the hot seat against Continued on page 20

No-hitter propels Sisters grab Games gold Hastings to Worlds Continued from page 19 the opposition’s top player. “I was just thinking put the ball in play, see what I can do,” said Barba, who attends Alpha secondary. “I just battled… This team is so good, it’s unbelievable.” Ripoli crossed home plate but Antonio Cusati was tagged out in a close play at home, leaving it 1-0 with three outs to go. Dal Sasso got the first two outs before Whalley sent in Leitzing to pinch hit. Hastings manager Vito Bordignon chose to intentionally walk the slugger, who led all batters during the nine-day series with a .667 batting average and 14 RBI in 18 at bats. The next batter popped out, kicking off an on-field celebration complete with bear-hugs and tears. “I think we just kept playing our game,” said an exhausted Siniscalchi.While the competition will be of a totally different calibre in Williamsport, beginning Friday against Japan, the righthander felt confident that his manager would have them ready. “Knowing (Bordingnon) has been there I can trust him in everything. I just try to listen to him and do my

best and execute what he says.” To get to the final, the host squad blanked Lethbridge 9-0 on Friday, while Whalley doubled up on Quebec’s Diamond Baseball Academy 8-4. Hastings, which has existed as a Little League club for 62 years, is making its third appearance at the Williamsport, Pa World Series – with Bordignon managing all three teams. The past two appearances, in 2009 and 2013, resulted in identical 1-2 records. The baseball lineage will see Cusati, the team’s catcher, follow a path travelled by cousins Anthony Cusati and Steven Moretto, who were members of the Hastings teams in 2009 and 2013, respectively. Liam Lewis, meanwhile, is related to Chicago White Sox and one-time American League MVP Justin Morneau. The Hastings lineup includes Burnaby’s Nicola Barba, Nathan Clegg, Sean Coventry, Antonio Cusati, Stefano Dal Sasso, Liam Lewis, Aaron Mak, Matteo Ripoli, Cristian Santarelli and Loreto Siniscalchi, and Vancouver’s Liam Maclean, Anthony Porcellato and Lucas Sorace.

Sisters were doing it for themselves and their zone last month at the B.C. Summer Games in Abbotsford. Burnaby siblings Georgia and Ula Langdon combined for six gold and six silver in the paddling sports of kayaking and canoeing. Georgia won a pair of gold in individual canoeing, in the 500-metre train-to-train and 2000m open.They also teamed together to pick up some hardware in the kayak. Students at St.Thomas More and members of the Burnaby Canoe and Kayak Club, the sisters also registered medals in two- and four-person competition. Other Burnaby medallists at the B.C. Games were Katrina Loutet, who collected silver in the girls one-person kayak 500m event, and Ivan Strashenko, who picked up silver in boys one-person kayak 500m, and a bronze in the 2000m open race. In swimming, Hannah Cui placed second in the girls 100m freestyle, while Michi Duclos grabbed a

Lakers push series back to Victoria

it’s a pretty hard building to play in,” said Byrne. “They’ve got a lot of fans, and guys get fired up in their own barn so we have to take it to them first, come ready to play and have a strong first five minutes.” In Game 3, Burnaby spent much of the night chasing Vic-
