Carbon monoxide poisons nine Firefighters rethink deployment of equipment after medical call puts responders at risk By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Burnaby firefighters are discussing crew safety after carbon monoxide poisoning sent nine people, including two paramedics, to hospital during a medical call at a Burnaby home over the weekend. Emergency crews were called to 3777 Venables St. at about 5:45 p.m. Sunday for a 30-yearold female who had collapsed in the basement suite, according to assistant fire Chief Erik Vogel. Soon after B.C. Ambulance arrived, another resident collapse, and the two paramedics on scene also reported feeling dizzy by the time firefighters arrived, Vogel said. “(Firefighters) suspected carbon monoxide, and they started getting everybody out,” he said. One of the paramedics then

CLOSE CALL: Emergency crews investigate a gas leak at 3777 Venables St. that sent nine people to hospital including two paramedics. The incident has sparked discussions among firefighters about better ways to use the fire department’s limited number of gas detectors.

ABUSIVE COMMENTS

Parents banned from kids’ hockey game By Jane Seyd

Abusive comments reportedly made to teenaged referees by a number of North Vancouver parents at a Burnaby hockey game Feb. 25 are being investigat-

ed by the association that oversees minor hockey in the Lower Mainland. Lynn Kiang, president of the Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association, said the organization is looking into the incident to determine if any further sanc-

tions are warranted for the unsportsmanlike behaviour that broke out in the stands during a game at Burnaby Lake Arena. Adult fans were watching a game between peewee teams – 11- and 12-yearolds – from Burnaby and

North Vancouver when “it appears there was inappropriate behaviour on the part of multiple parents in the stands watching that game,” said Kiang. Parents from the North Vancouver team reportedly made abusive comments

Newsnow CREATING BUZZ AROUND NEW EXHIBIT

Artist creating huge optical illusion Nick Gregson has ambitious plans for his latest mural – and he invites the public to join him By Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

If you happen to see a new building under construction on the Deer Lake Gallery lawn this week, don’t worry: you didn’t miss a headline about a new development. But do take a moment to take a look, because you don’t want to miss out on what’s likely to be one of the season’s most talked-about art exhibitions. Artist Nick Gregson is on hand on the gallery lawn this week constructing and painting his “optical illusion” mural for the upcoming Luminescence II show that opens March 18. When he spoke to the NOW last Friday, he was gearing up to spend his weekend – working with his business partner and “ideas man” Jeff Cheung – coming up with detailed plans for just what exactly he’s going to be creating for the show. What he does know is this: It will be built on a large plywood wall, on the façade of the gallery at 6584

Deer Lake Ave. – which is housed in a simple 1950s bungalow. Once Cheung and Gregson are finished with it, that home could end up looking like just about anything. The two Burnaby residents are planning to use trompe l’oeil techniques to fool viewers into seeing a 3-D image on the wall – so expect some Greek columns and some additional people (or animals) that will change the whole structure of the building. Gregson will be working on site in all weather – yes, he’s got tarps ready if needed – and he was planning to be on site all week. “I’m going to try to be at the gallery as much as we can on sunny days,” he said. He welcomes people to stop by and take a look – and even lend a hand, if they’re so inclined. “If anybody wants to come and paint or even learn a little bit, I can work with them one-on-one,” he said. Gregson – whose murals can be seen on buildings in

‘I COULDN’T GET IT OUT OF MY HEAD’

Documentary looks at young porn addicts By Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

Jo Deschambault was in the third grade when his porn addiction started. The now-13-year-old is the subject of the Canadian documentary Over 18, on the big screen at the New Westminster Christian Reformed Church in Burnaby on March 10. The film talks about an issue many people would rather ignore, according to screening coordinator Dave Knox. “Statistically, 90 per cent of boys before the age of 18 are exposed to pornography and about 60 per cent of girls.The average age of

exposure is about 12 years old,” he said. “That was certainly my experience growing up. My friend’s dad was a subscriber to Playboy for 25 years and he had a whole stack of magazines in his basement. My friend said, ‘Hey, do you want to see something’” In Over 18, viewers see how Deschambault discovers pornography while playing computer games in his living room. “This pop-up comes in the corner.You click on it and it’s this porn site. So I click on the X and I keep playing my game,” the teen said in the trailer. “For the few seconds that I saw it, I couldn’t get it out of my head.”

The idea for the documentary came after director Jared Brock was approached by a childhood friend a couple years ago. He divulged to Brock that as a youth worker, he had 30 teens who were all addicted to porn. Given the internet age, access to pornography is much easier now than it was two decades ago, said Knox. “Twenty years ago, if you would have gone to a corner store, you would have had to show an ID, but that’s not the case anymore. It’s, ‘Are you over 18?Yes or no?’ And if a child can read yes or no, they can answer that question,” he said. Over 18 also highlights Continued on page 9

‘A minute later, he would have been on ﬁre’

Family and international students escape serious injury in 10th Avenue house fire ‘by the grace of God’ Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

There’s no reason 19-year-old Andreya Uppal should have gone back to check on her little brother Liam before going out with a friend in the wee hours of the morning last Monday. The six-year-old had fallen asleep in her room in the bottom floor of their 10th Avenue Burnaby home. By the time she looked in on him, a line of flames was beginning to catch at the bedcovers while her brother slept. “A minute later, he would have been on fire, completely on fire,” Andreya’s mother, Maria Uppal told the NOW. “It was just by the grace of God that she came back into the room and checked in on him.” Andreya grabbed the boy, Maria said, and then banged on the doors of two international students staying in the home. Shoeless and wearing

only pyjamas, the four made their way upstairs through blinding smoke. But at the back door, there was a moment of panic. “I had a child safety lock on the door that I’d put in when the kids were young,” Maria said. “She said that they couldn’t open it and they started to panic.” After frantically scratching at the door for moment, Andreya collected herself and managed to open it. Smoke alarms were going off by this time, but Maria said she didn’t hear anything. “It was her scream that woke me up at this point,” Maria said. “It was that screaming that you will just never forget – ‘Mom! Mom! Mom!’” Maria jumped out of bed and grabbed her nine-year old son, Matias, who had been sleeping with her, but the smoke was already so thick by the time she got to

the door that she couldn’t see her daughter, she said. Afraid of a possible natural gas explosion, Maria told everyone to get out and away from the house. She then went back in – into the furthest room in the house – to get her 66-yearold mother, who had recently had knee-replacement surgery. “I’ll never forget,” Maria said. “My couch had, I kid you not, flames that were four feet high coming out of it,” Maria said. “It just went up like kindling.This was the one right above Andreya’s room. … and what was really scary is also things started blowing up. I did not know this about a fire.Things were blowing up left, right and centre, like my mirrors.Things were popping as I was walking through.” Maria tried to go back into the house again after her mother was safe to try to retrieve the family’s

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Parents should be ashamed of themselves There’s Pink Shirt Day. Then there’s the North Van parents in the stands at a minor hockey game who ably demonstrated last week why we have so much work still to do. It was only three days after the annual anti-bullying love-in, which aims to remind us all to “make nice,” that local hockey parents were banned from a game in Burnaby over their de-

cidedly ungracious verbal high sticking. And rightly so. One of the primary ways kids learn how to conduct themselves is from the behaviour they see modelled by their parents. All the pink shirt school assemblies in the world will be for naught if parents can’t learn to curb their own hot-headed boorishness.

All the pink shirt school assemblies in the world will be for naught if parents can’t learn to curb their own hot-headed boorishness

An internal investigation is now underway on what happened to send the parents to the penalty box.

Reportedly it involved haranguing of teenaged referees at a hockey game for 11- and 12-year-olds.

We wonder in whose world is it OK for adult goons to harass and belittle children who are themselves still learning their role in the game. Parents of future NHLers would do well to heed the signs now posted at many arenas reminding them that the game they are watching is just that – a game played by kids – and that referees are human.

It may be a small group of parents who are actually responsible for the verbal rock ’em-sock ’em incidents like the one last week, but they send exactly the wrong message to everyone involved.They also give hockey and the culture that goes along with it another black eye.

– Guest editorial from the North Shore News

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

ICBC is ﬁnally ﬁghting back

ICBC is fighting back. The public auto insurance corporation is refuting its critics who portray it as being in a fiscal crisis, and it insists that while these are challenging times in the industry, the situation is far from bleak. “Clearly, we are under financial pressure on the basic (coverage) side of the business due to the increasing number of crashes and resulting claims, but what that means is being greatly exaggerated,” ICBC vicepresident Steve Crombie told me. He took issue with a number of claims made in last week’s column by NDP ICBC critic Adrian Dix, and in a spate of other news stories in other media outlets. For some reason, ICBC has stayed silent while the controversy mounted over its financial health, but those days are clearly over. Crombie insists the corporation remains on a sound fiscal footing and points to its claim reserve fund of $10.6 billion, its investment portfolio of $4.2 billion and an operating capital of $2.6 billion for this year as proof of that. He admits the insurer has a vexing problem that recently has seen more money going out the door to settle accident claims than is coming in through insurance premiums, but he says that problem is being studied with the aim being to reverse that trend. “We’re a long, long, long way from being broke or anything like that,” he said.

“What we have essentially is a cash flow problem, and we’re confident we’re going to resolve that.” A big reason for that cash flow problem is the alarming increase in the number of vehicle accidents in recent years – a jump of 20,000 last year alone, and an increase of 60,000 in the past three years. Crashes that result in soft tissue damage have become more expensive, as has the cost of repairing modern vehicles, he says. But he notes the corporation still turns a profit on the optional coverage side of its operations, but loses money on the basic coverage side. And he told me the scenario of a 42 per cent rate increase over the next few years did not come from ICBC but from a scenario thrust upon it by the B.C. Utilities Commission. He insists rate increases will be held below five per cent, and an overall review of operations and rate structures may result in even lower annual increases. Crombie also rejects Dix’s claim that ICBC has laid off claims response staff over the years and says any personnel changes have been largely to do with management positions. In any event, it seems the beleaguered insurer – often the recipient of criticism and frustration since it deals with settling accidents – has grown weary of being a political punching bag and is starting to fight back.

Metrotown tenants not the only demovictims Dear Editor: I cannot stand any more complaining by the residents in the Metrotown area who think they deserve three months of compensation when evicted for development – after they chose to move into a place slated for demolition. Real estate transactions new What about all and single- and of the people two-family perwho lose their building mits within affordable rental the city are at all-time highs suites? –what about all of the people who lose their affordable rental suites in those cases? Just like the people who were blindsided by redevelopment of their apartment – the people (like me) who have to move after years of stability in one place due to redevelopment of a single-family home are blindsided. But guess what? We get one month com-

pensation, no other concessions, and the city doesn’t step into this situation to force homeowners to reimburse us. I implore you – get your heads out of the sand. Metrotown apartment tenants aren’t the only people in Metro Vancouver who can’t afford to live here anymore. F. Mourato, by email

Dear Editor: Re: Parents ‘need not be afraid,’ Burnaby NOW, Feb. 10. Thank you to the Burnaby school board for passing this policy and acknowledging that all students deserve an education. Allowing these students to attend our schools sends a message of tolerance and inclusion that is more important than ever, given global events. While all citizenship claims should be adjudicated fairly and expediently, it is welcoming to hear that children will not be excluded from their education while their families undergo the immigration process. Thank you to our school board trustees for their compassion on this important issue. Trevor Ritchie, Burnaby

City now Fire department looking at carbon monoxide issue Continued from page 1 passed out outside as a second fire truck arrived,Vogel said. Fire officials suspect an improperly installed appliance, probably a recently installed furnace, was responsible for the deadly level of carbon monoxide, which was measured at 260 parts per million, compared to a normal level somewhere between zero and 9 ppm, according to Vogel. Firefighters, wearing their station uniforms instead of

turnout gear with oxygen tanks, had responded to the call as a medical emergency, he said. “We wouldn’t normally wear (turnout gear) on a medical call,” he said. “That’s the problem with rescuers dying is that they don’t know when they enter.” The fire department has portable gas monitors, according to Vogel, but they are expensive. “They’re designed to be worn on your body,” he

said. “When it triggers, it tells you to get out.Well, we only have one on a truck, so we have to actually go get it and bring it back in to tell us if that’s the problem.” Sunday’s incident has sparked discussions about how to better deploy the monitors. “What we’ve talked about today, and I don’t know if this will happen, but, rather than keeping it in the truck, why not carry it on the medical kit,” he said.

On Dec. 14, 2016, Coast Capital Savings Credit Union based in Surrey, B.C. announced that its members have voted to apply to be governed by the federal Bank Act and other applicable federal laws as a federal credit union. As part of the application, FICOM (the B.C. Regulator) and the Credit Union Deposit Insurance Corporation, have now received formal notice, seeking their consent for the change.

City now Teachers endorse NDP Burnaby’s NDP candidates for the upcoming May 9 provincial election got a ringing endorsement from local teachers in January. At a general meeting of the Burnaby Teachers’ Association (BTA) on Jan. 31, members “overwhelmingly” passed a motion to endorse Katrina Chen (BurnabyLougheed), Raj Chouhan (Burnaby-Edmonds), Anne

Kang (Burnaby-Deer Lake) and Janet Routledge (Burnaby North), according to a March 3 press release. BTA president Frank Bonvino said teachers are “fed up with the provincial government” and described the endorsement as “a message to inform the public and mobilize our members to get more involved in order to put education issues

at the forefront in the upcoming election.” The union criticized the ruling B.C. Liberals, saying the province has the lowest per capita total spending on public schools in the country. The union also criticized the Liberals for stripping teachers of their right to bargain class size and composition in 2002.

Documentary examines porn Continued from page 3 how the porn of today isn’t the porn the previous generation saw. It’s much more violent and leans towards body-punishing sex, noted Knox. “What we would have called soft porn 10, 15 years ago, has now become mainstream. In order to distinguish itself from that, the porn industry has had to become darker and more violent, and as it does that, the demand for that kind of content increases,” he said. Pornography also skews

boys’ expectations of sex, Knox added, and puts unrealistic expectations on girls. One story from the documentary shows a young man on a first date with a girl. Cops had to pull him out of the car after they saw him choking her. “Cops said, ‘What are you doing?’ He says, ‘Well, isn’t this what they want?’” said Knox. Over 18 was screened at Parliament Hill last fall. Knox said the hope is to get legislation passed that requires porn sites to imple-

ment meaningful age verification. Right now, a standing committee is investigating the effects of explicit sexual material online on children. Its findings will be released by July. “Hopefully from there, from those findings, we’ll see a bill presented,” Knox said. The Burnaby screening on March 10 starts at 7 p.m. Admission is free.

‘This sort of behaviour is not appropriate’ Continued from page 1 Club the following day. Burnaby RCMP were also called to the arena to make sure no trouble broke out. Kiang said the president of the North Vancouver Minor Hockey Association came to Burnaby to explain the situation. “He talked to the team. He explained the situation,” she said. “He explained the expectation of the league and his association in terms of parent behaviour.” Kiang said if parents re-

ceive further reprimands, that won’t happen publicly. But she said it’s important for hockey parents to realize that “this sort of behaviour is not appropriate. Respect is required and we’ll take sanctions if necessary.” Inappropriate behaviour on the part of parents doesn’t happen very often, said Kiang, who added she isn’t sure why some parents lose it during games. “Hockey is a very emotional game. It’s a game where there is contact be-

Emotions do run high. It’s perhaps part of the history of the game, but I think it needs to change. tween the players.That creates additional stress, perhaps,” she said. “Emotions do run high,” she said – especially dur-

ing playoffs at the end of the season. “It’s perhaps part of the history of the game, but I think it needs to change.”

Kiang said minor hockey associations run parent meetings at the beginning of the season, explaining behaviour expected, but sometimes parents appear to forget that code of conduct. “Where does this particular sport sit on the scale of respect for referees?” she said. “We have work to do there.” Nobody at North Van-

couver Minor Hockey Association responded to a request for comment on the incident. According to the association’s website, hockey parents are required to complete an educational program encouraging “positive behaviour” called Sportsmanship Starts in the Stands when their child registers for hockey.

Neighbourhood House opens new location New North House location at 4908 Hastings St. is holding an open house on Friday, March 10 Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby Neighbourhood House is inviting the public to attend the grand opening of its new north location on Friday, March 10. Since February 2014, the North House was located at the corner ofWillingdon and Hastings Street in a building that was slated for demolition. Because the walls were coming down, the developer offered the non-profit organization free rent until it was time to move. Last December, staff hauled everything over to 4908 Hastings St.The North House’s program director, Simone Brandl, was the one who found the space after driving past it “100 times.” “I kept seeing this brown paper on the front of the windows and then one day when I drove by, there was a little note that said, ‘For Lease,’ with a phone number on it. I called right away, we brought the board in, the executive director. By the end of that week, we had leased it.” Brandl added the new location is a great one because it’s in the middle of everything, between Boundary and North Road. Like its counterpart, South House, North House is all about creating a place where people can volunteer, run their own programs and meet people. “People have gifts, skills and passions, but they don’t always know where to direct that or they can be part of something, so a neighbourhood house gives them

WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBOURHOOD: Simone Brandl, program director at Burnaby Neighbourhood House’s north location, is inviting residents to a ribboncutting ceremony on March 10. Staff moved into the new digs last December after a few years of operating at the corner of Willingdon and Hastings Street. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER a welcome space to come in and actively become connected to the neighbourhood,” said Brandl. The program director noted a common request for that area has been more arts-related workshops. She said North House has partnered with North Burnaby Photo Connection, which has donated hanging apparatuses for artists to display their work. “So we can have an open gallery all the time,” Brandl said. “People can bring their art work, hang it in and if

they want to have an exhibit, we’ll let them do that. That’s just kind of a way for us to start having a gathering place for people who are artists.” She added the charity is also looking at hosting artrelated entertainment, like a monthly poetry slam. Other services at North House include a family drop-in with story time, so parents can have a cup of coffee and mingle with one another, plus a community kitchen at Gilmore Community School, where par-

ents come together, share recipes, cook a meal and take it home to feed their families. North House is also equipped with a digital café (three computers for anyone to use) and freeWi-Fi. “There’s a lot of people that are seniors who come in and they’ve made some friendships, and in the process, learned how to use some of the technology maybe they wouldn’t necessarily know,” said Brandl. What surprised Brandl about working in that part

of town was the number of young families who are making under $40,000 a year, she said. “We have a lot of low-income families that are living in what looks like a really affluent area, but when you get down to it, there’s a lot of housing people have in their basement suites,” she told the NOW. “They’re just meeting their rent, they’re just meeting their food (needs), so programs like ours, they would never get.” Brandl couldn’t stress

enough how much the Neighbourhood House is volunteer led. At the organization’s last annual general meeting, it was noted there were 131 volunteers, while 1,800 people dropped in to use the facility. The March 10 open house is on from 2 to 6 p.m. (ribbon cutting is at 4 p.m.), at 4908 Hastings St.There will be a tour, refreshments, kid-friendly activities and program displays. RSVP by March 9 by email at simoneb@burnabynh.ca. For info, call 604-294-5444.

Muckabout Gift Gallery Meet Your Heights Merchant

To call Muckabout Gift Gallery a gift store, is to skim the surface of what it offers. It features all manner of artwork from 50 local artisans that range from cards to pottery. It’s a studio where other artists can create their work. It’s also a workshop where the public are invited to learn how to create artwork that they love. Although a relative newcomer to the Burnaby Heights having opened in November last year, Muckabout Gift Gallery has a long history in the area through its owners, Ninna Snider and Winston Wong. Winston’s father spent 25 years as a photographer based at Gilmore and Hastings, both Ninna and Winston grew up in the area, and now the couple is living in the neighbourhood and raising their family here. “We love the Heights area!”

Ninna Snider and Winston Wong, the creative duo behind Muckabout Gift Gallery, may be new to the Heights as business operators, but they’ve been long-time residents of the area and are keen to engage with their neighbours in new and creative ways with their gifts and workshops. PHOTO: SUBMITTED

City Potters Group and the Fraser Valley where she honed her craft. Additionally, Ninna last year took up a three-month residency at Port Coquitlam’s Leigh Square Community Arts Village. In spreading the wealth of her experience and knowledge, Ninna also offers workshops for children and adults that encourages their inner artists to flourish. “Our workshops are developed for participants to go home with a piece of art that they love,” she notes. One of her favourite classes to teach includes the drop-in Art Journaling ones on Tuesdays and Fridays. She also teaches mixed media and clay classes that can also be booked as private parties or include personalized art projects. Another aspect of the business

says Ninna. “It’s always been our goal to have a local business in the Heights where we know our customers and where we are the destination people can come and see beautiful work made by local artists and crafters.” The couple was eager to bring more activity to the eastern end of the Heights strip when the space became available near the family home. “Having grown up in the area and now with our kids going to school nearby, it’s important for us to live and shop locally while being involved in the community.” The seed for the business was planted 18 years ago when Ninna followed her dream of becoming a potter after many years spent as a crafter and being a part of the craft fair scene. She is also a dedicated member of the Tri-

is offering artists from the community a venue in which to create their work. “We also feature our artists during special events such as book signings and ‘art demo’ days,” Ninna says. This is when artists come into the studio and work on their pieces as customers shop and watch the creative process. The classes and workshops often tie together with the products on offer for sale at Muckabout. The handmade soaps and body products are popular gift items while the soap making classes offer consumers the ability to learn how to make their favourite products themselves. Locally made Fat Paint can be purchased at the store while people can take classes to learn how to apply their personal creative touches to their home

with the paint. In addition, the store also features found and upcycled vintage items, adding unique character to some of the retail offerings. As for the future, Ninna plans on continuing to introduce more great artwork from the local community and workshops for the public. “Our window displays will bring a smile to the faces of people passing by, and there will always be something in our store for gift giving or a little something to take home too!” Muckabout Gift Gallery 4759 Hastings Street, Burnaby 778-379-3595 www.muckabout.ca info@muckabout.ca

Heights Happenings! Trying to spring, on the Heights

With spring approaching, the sights and sounds of new growth are trying to appear on the Heights. The trees lining Hastings Street are slowly waking and tiny glimpses of green throughout the neighbourhood hint at sunnier times. Spring break is also fast approaching and promises two weeks of fun for the little ones. There are many activities around the Heights to keep them occupied. For outdoor fun, head to Confederation

Park. If the snow finally melts by mid-March, you can picnic among the trees and enjoy the serenity of a crisp, almost-spring day. Don’t forget to grab picnic essentials at any of the Italian delis the Heights has to offer. For a sweet treat afterwards, pick up dessert from any of the delightful bakeries and patisseries in the neighbourhood. Nothing smells better than opening the door of a bakery and smelling fresh bread and sugary pastries being made right there in store.

If you are not too full and in the mood for a dip, head to Eileen Dailly Leisure Pool and Fitness Centre. While there, you can sign the little ones up for daily swim lessons. It isn’t hard to find fun on the Heights. There are so many adventures to be had; why not swing on by this Spring Break for an exciting “stay-cation”?

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Looking for a way to support Moscrop Secondary School’s first dry grad in five years without spending a dime? It’s as easy as driving around the block. Moscrop’s dry grad committee hosts a “Drive 4 Dry Grad” fundraiser at the school’s parking lot this Saturday, March 11 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. For every adult over 21 years old who test drives a new GM vehicle, Carter GM will donate $25 to Mo-

scrop’s dry grad. Free coffee and donuts will be provided. Organizers are looking to raise $2,000 more for the school’s alcohol-free bash for grads in June. A number of organizations have already stepped up with donations of $500 or more: the Moscrop PAC,Wesco Industries Ltd., the Burnaby Firefighters Charity, Metrotown Mazda and Q Precision Lab Ltd. TECH GRANT Burnaby South Secondary and the B.C. Provincial School for the Deaf (BCSD) will be able to jazz

up their visual announcements thanks to a $10,000 Best Buy tech grant.The school was among 16 chosen out of 220 applicants across the country to get the grant, which is aimed at enhancing or integrating technology in courses, programs or extracurricular activities. Improved visual announcements at Burnaby South/BCSD will allow the school to better communicate with students, including those with hearing impairment.The new money will buy DSLR cameras for the school’s media arts program to help students pro-

vide daily visual content for the announcements.

Artsnow It all began with Eve in the garden Family ﬁlms screen Fridays at library

Douglas College production explores the evolution of sexuality Two Burnaby students are onstage in a night of theatre that chronicles the evolution of sexuality in Western civilization. The Douglas College departments of theatre and stagecraft are presenting Out of the Garden, which features selections from plays by Caryl Churchill and Don Nigro. Burnaby’s Piper MacLeod and Allegra Wright are in the production, which is directed by Claire Fogal. A press release notes Fogal drew inspiration from the Jan. 21 Women’s March. “Western culture has a long and awful tradition

of linking women with the body and of relegating both to the dungeon or the dung heap,” she said in the press release. “In an effort to honour both where we’ve been and where we’re going, we show Eve’s perspective on the Garden of Eden and on her ‘original sin’ of eating what was forbidden. Her voice is joined by many others, both male and female, all dismantling the poisonous myth of male supremacy and inching toward a state of true balance and greater humanity.” Fogal is weaving together fragments of Nigro’s plays

Genesis and Frankenstein, with Churchill’s Vinegar Tom and Cloud 9, as well as one of the storylines from Nigro’s play Anima Mundi. “I loved the overlapping themes of creation and sexuality,” Fogal said. “I’ve always believed this project would be fantastic to produce on a larger scale.” The cast of theatre students also includes DahliaRaphael Kerr, Michael Jenkins, Hilani Baybay, Kate Rytter, Madison Green, Peter Tran, Nicholas James and Douglas College alumna Nina Dosdall.

WHAT ARE YOU A FEAR OF

How to step out of your Comfort Zone without feeling too scared. You have difficulty stepping out of your comfort zone for one reason, and that is FEAR. Fear’s only job is to keep you safe. Everyone lives with fear, and it’s how we choose to deal, or not deal with it. Many people associate getting out of their comfort zone by taking a big giant leap into some unknown area, which can be scary. Stepping out of your comfort zone can be enjoyable, and in my coaching practice, I introduce my clients to a process called SRD (Stretch, Risk, and Die). This technique helps ease your way out of your comfort zone. Stretch Zone - This is the first level of fear, and it’s just outside of your comfort zone. It’s something that is very easy to accomplish, and yet you haven’t done it for whatever reason. A lot of “beating yourself up” takes place in this area. Risk Zone – This is the next level of fear and takes a bit of courage to achieve. It usually carries the possibility of rejection and failure. In this zone, you’re not sure if you can complete the thing you want, although you want to. Die Zone – This is the last level of fear, and it’s so scary that you want to die when thinking of doing it (i.e. public speaking). It is way out of your comfort zone, and you can’t imagine yourself doing it. When taking a risk be aware of what zone you’re in (Stretch, Risk, or Die). If it’s in the Die zone, break down your risks to more manageable action steps. If you’re in the Risk zone, find an accountability partner to help you. If you’re in the Stretch zone, step on the edge of your comfort zone and see how it feels. Take that courageous step into the Stretch zone when you’re ready. Remember, you can always step back into your comfort zone. Contact me today to learn more about your SRD zones and live fearlessly.

Q A

What are the benefits of pricing your home correctly?

Pricing your home closer to market value nets a bigger pool of potential buyers which may increase your JENNY WUN PREC final sale price. The benefits of Associate Broker pricing correctly would lead to a quicker sale, a smaller risk of the buyer backing out due to a lower appraisal, and a smaller chance of a lengthy negotiation providing a smoother closing. If your home is priced equal to the market value, 95% of buyers will look at your home. If it’s 15% above market value, then the pool of buyers decreases to 20%.

ASK A LIFE COACH

ASK A MORTGAGE BROKER

Q A

How do life coaches hold clients accountable?

People normally don’t do things for themselves, but for other people. The reason is that of FEAR!!! A life coach asks their client if there’s anyone within their DANIEL FUNG circle of friends that would hold them accountable. It’s good but not great, as their friends aren’t experts at this. A great life coach will assist their clients to see possibilities and support them in making it real. Reality only happens when you take action. Taking action can be uncomfortable. However, a coach can help a client learn how to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. I call this Stretch, Risk and Die (see featured post).

What are the 2 types of construction loans?

The ﬁrst type of construction loan is a construction-only loan. The lender will offer an amount of money that will cover the cost of the construction project. The borrower is typically to make interest-only HOWARD LOUIE payments on the loan until the project Manager, Mortgage Broker is complete, within one year. The principal balance is due in full once the project is complete. This allows the borrower the freedom to apply for a mortgage with another lender once the project is complete. The 2nd construction/mortgage loan covers the cost of the construction project and the mortgage on the completed property. An interest-only payment option may still be available with this type of loan. There is only one closing with this type of loan, because the borrower will be working with the same lender for construction and the mortgage. The interest rate is usually different for the duration of the construction, and will change once the mortgage payments begin.

Route set for STM, Bulldogs Draw for 3-A hoop provincials unveiled The first-round dance partners have been decided. Now all that’s needed is the music. The draw for this week’s B.C. 3-A boys basketball championship tournament was revealed Sunday, and Burnaby’s two teams are focused on those opening day assignments for the tournament tip-off Wednesday (today). The Lower Mainland champion Byrne Creek Bulldogs were seeded third and kick off the tourney with an 8:30 a.m. match against No. 14-seed Duchess Park of Prince George. Fresh off of besting StevestonLondon 101-92, the Bulldogs will get their first look at the Condors, who advanced to the B.C.s by beating College Heights 78-57 in the North Central zone final. The St.Thomas More Knights, meanwhile, aim to convert a thirdplace showing at the Lower Mainlands into a starting point against the Wellington Wildcats, who corralled the No. 2 slot from the Island zone with a 79-43 loss to Nanaimo District. The two teams play at 3:30 p.m. today. A win continues the team towards a potential B.C. final spot. Losing propels teams into the consolation bracket. If Byrne Creek wins, they advance to the quarter-finals to face the winner of the Lord ByngCharles Hays game at 5:15 p.m. on Thursday. For STM, a win catapults them up against the victor of a Rick Hansen-Carihi contest at 6:45 p.m. on Thursday. Hansen enters the tournament as the No. 1-ranked 3-A team in the last month of polling.They have held the No. 1 polling position since late January, when they replaced the Knights. All games are slated for the Langley Events Centre. For a complete schedule and results, visit www.bchighschool basketballchampionships.com.

Knights hold on to B.C. wrestling title Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

The winning streak continues for St.Thomas More. The Burnaby private school’s wrestling program racked up its fifth consecutive title at the B.C. high school championships on the weekend in Salmon Arm, while dominating in the girls division for a fourth straight year. The returns included two gold medals, a pair of silvers and four bronze, catapulting them to first with an aggregate total of 79 points, 17 points better than second-place Alberni District. “Definitely, to win five in a row has been some kind of a run,” said STM coach Doug Corbett. “It’s been kind of surreal; I thought we had a chance, but I’m still surprised that we did it, because a lot of things have to go right.”

Among the gold champions was Corbett’s daughter, Caileen, who topped the girls 43-kilogram division with a 9-0 win over Calista Espinosa of St. Pat’s.The decision and the manner in which it was won impressed the judges, who voted it the Most Outstanding Match in the girls division. “(Caileen) fought a very defensively sound match,” said the proud coach and father. “She just dominated it; her opponent couldn’t counter and couldn’t score a point.” Caileen entered the weekend having had little wrestling practice over the past month due to a concussion suffered in January. While her coach knew the technical preparation was sound, he was aware the lack of match experience was an obstacle. She won her first two by fall in quick fashion, setting the stage for

a strong finish. “(Caileen) had not much match work, so we were a little worried,” he said. “But she’s very competitive and wanted it very badly. She stuck to her game plan.” It was one of four matches for her at the competition, and to end her high school career with a provincial gold – after finishing second last year – was fitting. The other gold also came on the girls side, where Grade 10 Amanda Silveri beat Kyla McAuley of Alberni by a quick 6-0 pin. It was Silveri’s lone match in the heavyweight division, and gave her the result she had worked towards since taking silver a year ago. Burnaby South’s Matthew Magano was the only other local gold medalist, blanking North Van’s Hyatt Verdozco 10-0 for the 38kg title. Over three matches, Magano surrendered just two

points. Also on the boys side, the STM pair of Tyler Eckert and Sam Steele were silver medalists in their respective divisions, running into two New Westminster rivals. Eckert was bested 13-3 by Connor Pattison in the 90kg division, while Steele fell 11-0 to Sammy Sidhu in the 84kg final. Placing third in boys 57kg was STM’s Daniel Alphonso. Burnaby Central’s Sara Brinkac put in a valiant performance to defend her 60kg title, but ended up losing in a 12-6 decision to Scout Stipec of Elphinstone in a rematch of last year’s final. Finishing third overall was STM’s Gabriella Bellini. Also collecting bronze medals were STM’s Gabi Chavez, in the girls 47kg, Grade 8 Ayesha Mian, in 40kg, and Burnaby Central’s Sylvia Ly, in 54kg.

North to Alaska, Clan look to continue NCAA push

The Simon Fraser University women’s basketball team is Alaska-bound, after qualifying for this week’s NCAA Div. 2 West Regional as the fifth seed. The Clan were the third and final Great Northwest Athletic Conference team to advance, joining the host Alaska Anchorage Seawolves and Western Washington Vikings in representing the zone. Being one of 64 teams to qualify for the NCAA national championships, beginning with the West Regionals on Friday in Anchorage, is a big step and a great opportuni-

ty, says team captain Ellen Kett. “We are going in as an underdog with nothing to lose,” said Kett. “We are going to come prepared and lay it all on the line. It’s called March Madness for a reason – anything can happen.” In their first round match, SFU plays the California Collegiate Athletic Association regular season champion UC San Diego Tritons on Friday.While the Tritons were at one point on a 13-game win streak, they’ve lost three of the past nine games and enter seeded seventh.

Kett was a unanimous first team allGNAC selection, after setting a single season assists record of 241 – 38 more than her nearest rival. “We’re all very excited at the opportunity to represent SFU on the national stage as Canada’s NCAA team,” said Kett. “We are ready for this opportunity; this is something we have wanted all season and we are ready to step up to the challenge in front of us.” The Clan has faced three teams in the West Regional this season, losing twice to Alaska Anchorage and Western Washington,

and once to No. 2 seed California Baptist. The winner of the Simon Fraser-UC San Diego game will face the winner of the Alaska Anchorage vs Hawaii Pacific game. Providing some fresh motivation was their 58-57 loss last week, which saw the Clan get upset by No. 6-seed Central Washington. The winning points came off a pair of free throws with 1.2 seconds left. Kett led all SFU players with 22 points. The final will be played on Monday, with the winner advancing to the NCAA Div. 2 Elite Eight, Mar. 21 to 24.

Hawks grind down Steelers

Defence can only take you so far. The Grandview Steelers boasted the lowest goals-against average during the Pacific Junior B Hockey League regular season, but find themselves down 2-0 in their series with the Delta Ice Hawks because of goals. The goals-for column took another hit, as Grandview dropped Game 2 to Delta 3-2 on Sunday, amping up the pressure prior to Tuesday’s (past the NOW’s deadline) Game 3 of the best-of-seven semifinal. Looking to rebound from a rough 4-1 setback in the series opener last week, the Steelers found themselves trailing most of

the night, as Delta took the lead just 1:38 into the contest. Grandview tied it when affiliate player Bryson Wong, a Burnaby product, scored at 18:16 of the first, but in the second period, Gary Dhaliwal restored the Ice Hawks’ lead with 2:19 left in the frame. Early in the third period, they upped it to 3-1. Jeffrey Wong counted Grandview’s other goal. The Steelers managed just four shots over the final 20 minutes and just 13 in the game. Game 4 goes tonight (Wednesday), 7:15 p.m. at the Burnaby Winter Club.

City Centre 1 was completed in 2014 and is a LEED Gold certified building, boasting 12 storeys of office space and a ground floor for retail. The building is the workplace for over 90 medical professionals and is home to significant academic space along with health and technology companies.

By Elizabeth Model The Health and Technology District within Innovation Boulevard is proving to be an incredible hub of business growth in Surrey. The idea, developed and championed by the City of Surrey and Simon Fraser University, has grown into one of the most interesting and dynamic business centres in the country. One of the most interesting locations within the Boulevard, The District acts as an ecosystem for clinicians and health-care providers to work alongside tech companies, entrepreneurs, multinational companies and even start-ups. Having a space dedicated to innovation and growth in Surrey will not only attract skilled workers, but also speaks to the City’s identity of a “Smart City,” with world leading health and tech businesses coming together not unlike the world-famous Silicon Valley of California. The health and tech hub creates a collaborative space where different businesses and innovators can work hand-in-hand with scientists, clinicians and health-care providers. This working environment is creating a cluster of like-minded organizations and individuals which will lead to advances to improve healthcare, patient experiences and how health care is administered. Outside of the obvious health and technology impacts, the District will also have a significant positive impact on the local economy. Once completed, the Surrey Health and Technology District is projected to inject $1.1 billion annually into the local economy and create over 15,000 jobs locally – that is a substantial impact for not only the region, but the province as a whole. The project is underway, and is expected to be completed in less than a decade.

City Centre 2 construction is underway, and it is another mixed-use facility that is also on track to be LEED Gold certified. The second complex will be completed early this year, and will offer significant surgical and clinical space for medical professionals working in the building. Planning is underway for City Centre 3 and over the next few years, five additional City Centre’s will be built to provide an avenue for tech entrepreneurs to successfully test their products before commercializing. All of the developments are all located within Innovation Boulevard, near Surrey Memorial, which is one of Canada’s busiest hospitals. With studies suggesting that a significant number of Surrey’s population live and work within the City, the Health and Technology District creates more employment opportunities for Surrey residents to work close to home. I’m confident that the leadership shown by Simon Fraser University and the City of Surrey in developing Innovation Boulevard combined with world-class projects now coming to life along the Boulevard, the Health and Technology District will continue to grown both in size and global reputation. The net result will be a growing local workforce of younger doctors, scientists and researchers who may have previously gone to places such as Silicon Valley with their specialized skills. The Downtown Surrey Business Improvement Association looks forward to seeing the continued development of the Health and Technology District, not to mention the groundbreaking technology which will undoubtedly be developed and launched through the collaborative working space. Elizabeth Model is the CEO of the Downtown Surrey BIA.
