Gallery lights up the night Luminescence II creates a buzz at Deer Lake Julie MacLellan
jmaclellan@burnabynow.com
The three young people who wandered up onto the Deer Lake Gallery lawn on Saturday night can be forgiven for asking, with casual curiosity: “Is this a house party?” It wasn’t. It was the opening for Luminescence II. But what with DJ BJAM (Ben Lee, by any other name) spinning the tunes and an assembled crowd dancing and jumping to the beat on Robert Turriff’s Pulse Quasar sculpture, it certainly wasn’t your average art opening. Luminescence II follows last year’s successful show of twoand three-dimensional artworks Continued on page 3

CRIME
Teen stabbed: RCMP looking for suspect Burnaby RCMP is looking for information about an incident that saw a 15-year-old boy stabbed near Kingsway and 12th Avenue Monday night. Police were called to the area near St.Thomas More Collegiate high school at about 11:10 p.m. by emergency health services who attended the scene and took the teen to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The integrated police dog service
searched the area but was unable to locate the assailant, and the youth did not provide a description of the suspect or a reason for the assault. “The investigation is in the initial stages,” Sgt. Derek Thibodeau said in a press release, “and anyone with any information is asked to call Burnaby RCMP.” Call Burnaby RCMP at 604-2947922.

And, though this year’s opening didn’t attract the kind of crowd that last year’s did – when a thousand or more folks waited in two- and three-hour lineups just to get in the front door – it had an energetic vibe and a buzz of excitement all the same. People of all ages packed the gallery and grounds over the course of the night for the celebrations, which included indoor entertainment by singer-songwriter Carolyn Neapole and an outdoor fire show by Lukas Knab of ACROfire Entertainment. The gallery got out ahead of the possibility of crowds by offering early access – and Lumin martinis – to

Cooper and Stuart Ward – explores the duality of humanity’s relationship with technology in what can only be described as a trippy way, complete with a soundtrack that merges the engine sound of a Boeing B-29 Superfortress Bomber and Japanese monks chanting the sutra, “The Heart of the Perfection of Wisdom.” Ward notes they had to keep the volume level down on the subwoofer lest they lift the roof right off the gallery. (A visitor’s tip: Should you check it out, be sure to stick your head all the way in to the viewing portals for full effect.) Downstairs, it’s a psychedelic trip into the world of black light, courtesy of a basement room devoted to the works of the GlowMe

The main 750-squarefoot exhibition space is filled with a variety of paintings, photography and sculptures – some of which even allow visitors to interact with them (as in the case of Ross Hayduk’s creations, invitingly labelled “please touch”). Visitors can also find art in less expected places – lining the hall and, yes, even in the washroom.

Out back, visitors can bask in the view over Deer Lake and wander an exhibition of sculpture, held in conjunction with the Canadian Clay Symposium at the neighbouring Shadbolt Centre for the Arts. Out front, there’s the striking new mural by the Optical Illusion Museum team (Jeff Cheung and Nick Gregson), the interactive Pulse Quasar, and a “chandelier” in the trees created from old bicycle parts by Bill Thomson and Michael Stefureak. The gallery is also continuing with some interactive presentations on weekends. Artists will be on hand

PIPELINE PROTEST
Activists’ trek will include puppets, camping By Tereza Verenca
tverenca@burnabynow.com
Anti-pipeline activists are planning a four-day trek from B.C.’s capital to Burnaby. Walk 4 the Salish Sea will start in Victoria on May 25 and end at the Westridge Marine Terminal on May 28. “We’re empowering people to make their voices heard; we are protecting what we love, which is
our coast and our community and our world,” said Ruth Walmsley with Burnaby Residents Opposed to Kinder Morgan Expansion (BROKE), one of the partner organizations. According to an event write-up on Facebook, where 1,000 people have expressed interest and 273 people have confirmed they’re going, the mobilization will include honouring of traditional welcoming protocols, large marine
wildlife puppets, evening programs, communal camping and dinners, a rally aboard B.C. Ferries and nightly entertainment. “We are all coast protectors and the Salish Sea, and all the waters flowing down through the Fraser River basin and surrounding communities are at risk from the Kinder Morgan pipeline/tanker expansion,” reads the post on Facebook. “Now is the time to walk the talk on climate
justice/clean energy, indigenous rights, marine protection and local democracy – before it’s too late.” A major objective of the march is to raise funds for a campaign called Pull Together, which supports the Coldwater and Tsleil-Waututh Nations’ legal defense against Kinder Morgan. The aboriginal groups are seeking judicial review of the federal government’s approval of the pipeline, claiming the Liberal rub-
ber stamp infringes on their aboriginal rights and title. People of all ages and abilities are invited to Walk 4 the Salish Sea, noted Walmsley, for whatever duration and distance they wish. She said she anticipates a few hundred people to show up on the last day of the walk, which has been dubbed Fossil Fuel Freedom Fest: Celebrate Resistance, and will include music, speakers and
workshops. The Burnaby portion of the march will start at 10 a.m. Attendees will meet at Grandview Park in Vancouver. The walk to Westridge Marine Terminal is 10 kilometres in length and will take threeand-a-half hours, according to Walmsley. For more information, visit tinyurl.com/Walk4 SalishSea.

City now Arrests: Man reportedly tried to run over woman Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
A multijurisdictional police incident that started in Burnaby Monday and ended on the Port Mann Bridge – slowing eastbound traffic to a crawl – resulted in the arrest of a man and a woman.
Starting at about 6:40 p.m., Burnaby RCMP got multiple calls about a black Jeep Cherokee driving erratically in the Canada Way and Willingdon Avenue area, according to Burnaby RCMP Sgt. Derek Thibodeau. Witnesses told police they observed a man in the Jeep
allegedly attempting to run over a woman,Thibodeau said. Officers attended the scene, whereupon the Jeep hit two cars and fled the area. The driver managed to evade police, and RCMP did not initiate a pursuit, Thibodeau said.
Four men arrested in attempted extortion
Burnaby RCMP has arrested four Lower Mainland residents for allegedly attempting to extort a Burnaby resident earlier this month. The victim, a 50-yearold man, was approached by four men in a parking garage in the 4400 block of Lougheed Highway on March 7.The victim and the suspects were unknown to each other, according to police, but investigators believe the incident was targeted. The victim immediate-
ly reported the encounter to the Burnaby RCMP, and the serious crime unit undertook a large-scale investigation. On March 11, four Lower Mainland residents were arrested in the area of Lougheed Highway and Gilmore Avenue with help from the RCMP Emergency Response Team. Vancouver residents Xiao He, 56, Keith Chen, 28, Darren Johnson, 43, and Surrey resident Timothy Thurston, 42, face charges
of extortion and will make their next court appearance on April 13 inVancouver Provincial Court. “The police take such threats to families in our community seriously,” Chief Supt. Stephan Drolet stated in a press release. “This was deemed a priority investigation. Our serious crime unit led a large scale operation involving several officers.The intended victim and his family are safe and unharmed.” – Cornelia Naylor
Police got another call at about 7:15 p.m., he said, indicating the same Jeep had been involved in a crash on the Port Mann. Witnesses later told police the male driver and a female passenger were involved in a verbal altercation, according to Thibodeau. He said Burnaby RCMP
joined Port Mann RCMP and the integrated police dog section on the bridge, and the man and woman, who remained inside the vehicle, were arrested without incident. The investigation is still in the initial stages,Thibodeau said, but police are not treating it as a random inci-
dent, since it is believed the man and woman know each other. Anyone with information about any part of this incident is asked to call Burnaby RCMP at 604-2947922 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or www. solvecrime.ca.
Have you lost your scooter? Burnaby RCMP is looking for the owner of a scooter found at Highgate Village Shopping Centre recently. Apparently abandoned, the motorized mobility device was brought to the District 3 Community Police
Office for safekeeping on March 1 but has yet to be claimed. “This is not an item that would easily get misplaced,” Burnaby RCMP Cpl. Daniela Panesar stated in a press release. “Someone with mo-
bility issues will obviously be looking for this scooter, so we are hopeful that we can find the rightful owner as soon as possible.” The owner will need to identify the scooter and provide proof of ownership.

Prof says paranormal investigators are, well, normal Tereza Verenca
tverenca@burnabynow.com
People who hunt ghosts, search for Big Foot and attend UFO conferences are not geeky nerds sitting in their parent’s basement wearing a tin foil hat – they’re everyday people. That’s according to SFU geography professor Paul Kingsbury, who is studying paranormal investigators and what motivates them to work in a field many don’t believe in. He and three grad students are halfway through a four-year project and have come to the conclusion that paranormal investigators are just like anyone else in terms of their socio-economic backgrounds, educa-
tion levels or psychological well-being. “It’s a very diverse group of people,” Kingsbury told the NOW. “Their passion is very strong.” They usually belong to non-profit groups, and
It’s a very diverse group of people ghost investigators, in particular, don’t charge money for their services, he added. Kingsbury has taken part in eight ghost investigations, two UFO conferences and one Sasquatch hunt. He likened the UFO con-
ferences to an academic forum. “There are keynote speakers, Q&As, breakout sessions, late night hotel lobby bar conversations about different theories,” said Kingsbury. “These conferences are very much centres for teaching and learning. I’m interested, as a (cultural) geographer, how the conferences bring people together in these relatively small places.” Gatherings also attract a fair number of skeptics, he noted. “Renowned skeptic Robert Sheaffer will be at the front of the audience asking trenchant questions to the keynote speakers, but nonetheless, he’s part of the Continued on page 10

Opinion now OUR VIEW
Privatizing airports is a very bad idea Who has ever made their way through a busy airport and thought, “Gee, what this place needs is a middleman looking to add a profit margin?” But that’s essentially what’s on the table. With big spending promises to live up to, the federal Liberals are looking at putting Canada’s ports and airports up in a yard sale.
While we understand the need to find revenues, we’re highly skeptical of the potential to privatize these essential Canadian assets. Ports, like the Port of Vancouver, already generate revenue for the federal coffers through rents from terminal tenants and fees extracted from shippers. And the taxes and fees collected by Canada’s airport authorities are al-
... we’d get a series of monopolies – ones that operate with even less accountability to the public ... ready among the highest in the world. With shareholders to please or a bottom line to burnish, privatizations are almost always followed by corner cutting, contract-
ing out or budget cuts that impact service. And the laudable goals that come with privatization, like innovation and lower prices for consumers, are dependent upon
there being stiff competition. Instead, we’d get a series of monopolies – ones that operate with even less accountability to the public than what we’ve already got. Rough as the relationship has been between some residents and the Port of Vancouver, it could be a boatload worse if the governance model is tweaked in favour of private investors.
The port’s mandate is to facilitate the trade on which Canada’s economy is based. There’s no guarantee a private owner would share that interest. When it comes to our ports, both air and sea, we’d prefer to keep our own names on the baggage. – Guest editorial from the North Shore News
MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY
Outgoing MLAs wrap up careers
There were plenty of tears and laughter (and some relief) on hand last week as 14 MLAs spent their last day on the job in the provincial legislature. But while all of them should be congratulated on their public service, a few stood out for their unique contributions to the political process. First of all, the legislature’s only elected Independent MLA.Vicki Huntington has represented Delta South for two terms, and she brought a measure of non-partisanship that was sorely needed in an often bruising chamber. On the Opposition side, veteran Surrey MLA Sue Hammell – who had been a cabinet minister in the NDP government of the 1990s – seemed one of the few in the NDP caucus who wasn’t psychologically wounded by the party’s disastrous and unexpected election loss in 2013. On the government side, it was clear Dr. Moira Stillwell, from Vancouver-Langara, was going nowhere fast under the leadership of Christy Clark, as a result of a falling out between the two that occurred before the 2013 election. And Gord Hogg, from Surrey-White Rock, had already served 16 years and was obviously ready to move on to a new adventure. The one MLA from either side who will be greatly missed for a variety of reasons, however, is another veteran: the irascible, blunt, straight-shooting Bill Ben-
nett from the Kootenays. In his 16 years in office, Bennett had carved out a reputation for speaking his mind, no matter if it occasionally landed him in hot water. He kicked any “message box” to the curb, even if it meant the odd politically incorrect utterance or a statement that might put him on the outs with his own side. But it was Bennett’s epic takedown of former B.C. Liberal premier Gordon Campbell that thrust him into legendary status when it comes to B.C. political lore. After being booted from cabinet for criticizing Campbell’s leadership (his cellphone and government credit card were even taken away) he borrowed cash to fly back to Victoria to clean out his office and, more importantly, hold a scrum with the press gallery. He let rip a 36-minute denunciation of Campbell’s leadership and personality.Word spread throughout the legislature, and people poured out of their offices to witness the drama. After that performance, it was pretty clear Campbell’s days as leader were numbered. There’s no question Bennett will be missed big-time by Clark if she proves victorious on May 9. MLAs come and go every election cycle, but filling the shoes of the Sage of the Kootenays may prove to be a tough task. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Help grow city’s second Neighbourhood House Dear Editor: Last week I attended a fantastic grand opening for the North Burnaby Neighbourhood House. A big thank you to the Burnaby NOW for helping spread the word about the Neighbourhood House in my community. There was such a large diversity of attendees, and it was so great to see the community and the neighbours gather together to celebrate the opening. As a longtime resident of North Burnaby, and being passionate about the community, I wanted to do more and find ways to contribute and be a part of the neighbourhood. Volunteering and giving back is a big part of who I am, and I felt it was important to be part of an organization that helps people right in my neighbourhood. After learning more about what the North Burnaby Neighbourhood House does, I was immediately drawn in, and sought to learn even more. The impactful programs for children, seniors and families were just so important to my community that I volunteered as a steering committee and board member. I am so pleased to see the space the North House has developed, and I encourage my
neighbours to join me in helping to grow Burnaby’s second Neighbourhood House. I know that together we can make North Burnaby a welcoming and more inclusive community. Diana Klejne, Burnaby
Let residents install water meters in Burnaby Dear Editor: Re: Don’t penalize home owners, Opinion, Burnaby NOW, March 17. The article mentioned that $304.30 was added to the water bill regardless of suite size. However, the number has not represented the sewer portion. The total fee is much higher. I was paying $572.45 (water and sewage) last year. This year I was paying $1,137.97. This is a lot extra to pay for only two people living in the house. The so called 50 per cent increase for houses with a suite is totally unfair for those who have no intention to rent out the suite. Alternatively, the city should allow residents to install a water meter so the fair amount can be paid. I fully support the idea of individual water meters. Raymond Hung, email

Local couple reaches out to African school Burnaby seniors inspired by Pirate House, a local family’s project to help a children’s centre in Uganda Tereza Verenca
tverenca@burnabynow.com
The founder of Pirate House says she was “moved” and “inspired” after hearing why a Burnaby couple donated to her cause. Julie Desroches’ name usually makes headlines around Halloween, when she transforms her front lawn into a pirate-themed attraction.The display is kid-friendly and usually draws a few hundred people each year. It’s Desroches’ passion project, to celebrate her road to recovery after a near-fatal abdominal infection she developed one month before the due date of her second child, Emma. Pirate House raises funds for St. Stephen Children’s Centre, located in the African country of Uganda. Since it launched in 2013, the initiative has raised more than $10,000, money that has been used to bring a roof, solar electricity and clean water to the school. Last October, enough money was raised to buy new desks for the students. After reading of Desroches’ efforts in the NOW, Henry Thompson and his wife, Lorna, made a “very generous” donation to Pirate House (the couple
didn’t want to disclose the amount). Thompson grew up in India poor, so he saw some of his childhood in a photo the

There were no tears. Everybody loved each other,” the 90-year-old said. Thompson recalled a moment that greatly influenced his life and taught him the value of kindness. When he was young, a neighbour dropped in to borrow a cup of oil to cook food for her children.The family couldn’t afford to buy any.Thompson’s mother offered to give the neighbour half a cup because she only had one cup left. At the time,Thompson feared they wouldn’t have enough for themselves. He said his mom would say,

“We’ll get, we’ll get.” His mother explained to him the neighbour had children, too, and she couldn’t let them go hungry. “My mother never took
anything for granted.When people asked her for things, she gave.That was her upbringing. She brought us up on the same lines as she was brought up,” said Thomp-
son. Eventually, the family “did get.” Thompson’s mother went on to win 10,000 rupees Continued on page 9

‘We’re doing all this together’ Continued from page 8 (now $200 CAD) for completing a perfect crossword. “Evidently, she knew that somewhere along the line, God was watching. In life, that was her only hope, and I guess she was right – to hope and to trust. If there is a God, he knew what she was,”Thompson added. Today, the former CBC technician hopes to do the same for other children. The Thompsons’ donation will be invested into a small business run at St. Stephen’s – a eucalyptus tree farm. Staff sell the lumber and then put all the profits back into the school. The money will be used to buy the centre another acre. Profits from the extra land will be used to buy milk, so the students can have a cup of milk with their morning porridge.The idea, long-term, is to save enough money to buy a cow for the centre. “I was just moved by it and inspired,” Desroches said of Thompson’s story and donation. “Especial-

SFU professor says he’s ‘open to believing’ Continued from page 5 scene. He’s very much welcomed there. He adds to the theatre,” said Kinsgbury. When it comes to ghostbusting, not all investigators work on the premise of proving their existence. Some try to debunk the client’s claims. Kingsbury pointed to investigators finding mold underneath a kitchen tile that explained a blood-like leakage and poor electrical wiring behind a bed that explained flickering lights.
“The paranormal object, it’s a perfect object of desire because it’s always sort of out of reach; the blur in the image or the sound,” he said, adding some ghost investigators have mediums work with them so they can communicate with the dead. Often, ghost investigations are very structured. There are preliminary interviews with the client and liability forms are signed. There’s “a great deal of trust fostered between the client and the group,”
Kingsbury said. Asked whether he believes in the paranormal, the professor said he believes in the investigators and the stories of what happened to them. Kingsbury said it would be “irrational” to rule out the possibility. “Primarily because of the amount of evidence that is there. Scientists are saying there are multi-verses, other universes out there. My position is one that is open to believing in such things.”

‘It’s something that I’ve just fallen into’ Burnaby fashion designer Taran Mullhi was set to make her debut atVancouver FashionWeek this Tuesday Cayley Dobie
cdobie@burnabynow.com
It’s the unique blend of Indian and Western aesthetics that stand out in Taran Mullhi’s designs. The 26-year-old runs her own fashion design company out of her family home in Burnaby. Mahari Collection is a made-to-measure business where clients meet with Mullhi one-on-one to order everything from blazers and trousers to wedding gowns and party dresses. Originally from England, Mullhi studied fashion design for four years. In 2012, her family moved to Vancouver. After “dabbling around in different jobs,” she started her own company in 2015. “It’s been really, really fun, and also super challenging, if I’m honest,” she chuckled. “The funny thing is I never really envisioned that I would be an entrepreneur or a business owner.That wasn’t really one of my life goals, it’s something that I’ve just fallen into, and I just absolutely love it. I think it’s great having the flexibility of working for yourself and just setting yourself goals and really pushing yourself to achieve them.” Mullhi admits there was a steep learning curve involved in being a one-woman show. In the early days, she was working full-time and growing Mahari Collection on the side. She eventually left her job to focus on her company, but things didn’t get any easier. She made mistakes, she said, but it’s all part of the
experience. “You know, you end up wasting money sometimes by investing in the wrong things, the wrong products, materials, and it was really exhausting, but I think having a good support network around you is so important,” Mullhi said. With friends and family cheering her on, Mullhi has built her brand. She’s moved from a bed-and-alaptop setup to a wee nook to an entire room dedicated to her craft. One day she might even open her own store but with the popularity of online shopping, she’s in no rush. “It’s definitely something that’s on my list, something that I’d love to do, but I do think in the times that we’re in now, online is such a huge thing I’m not sure if having a retail space is something that I necessarily need,” she said. Using social media, Mahari Collection has flourished, she added.While Mullhi continues to focus on her clients, she’s also started participating in pop-up shopping events throughout the Lower Mainland, most recently in Chinatown.This week, Mullhi was set to make her debut on the Vancouver scene with Mahari Design’s first appearance at Vancouver Fashion Week, after NOW deadlines. “Things like that are a great way to interact with the clothing and get to see the collections in real life,” she said. Inspired by her Indian and English heritage, the pieces she creates are made from hand-crafted materi-
als shipped here from India. She doesn’t like to call her outfits “Indian,” instead she describes them as fusion – blending Western and Indian looks to create something new. “It’s been wonderful having these two cultures that you’re immersed in, but sometimes you can have a little bit of an identity crisis. Sometimes the worlds don’t really come together when you’re growing up. So I made the collection to kind of represent those two aspects of my identity,” she said. To view more of Mullhi’s designs, visit her website at www.maharicollection.com or find her on Instagram @ maharicollection.
Fusion: Above, Burnaby fashion designer Taran Mullhi draws inspiration from her Indian and English heritage to create her designs for the Mahari Collection. Left, Mullhi makes everything from blazers and trousers to wedding gowns and party dresses. She says her style is a representation of her identity – a fusion of sorts.

Communitynow Can you help?: Beau, a two-year-old border colliekelpie mix, was shot and now needs surgery to remove three buckshot pellets from his leg. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED
SPCA fundraising for Beau’s surgery Burnaby SPCA are raising funds to help get a two-year-old border collie-kelpie mix the surgery he desperately needs. Beau arrived at the local animal shelter about one month ago. He was surrendered after SPCA officers in the Cariboo found him limping outside, but there wasn’t a visible injury. Officers finally found the cause of the limp – three buckshot pel-
lets lodged in his leg, according to the Burnaby SPCA. To alleviate Beau’s pain, the pup will have to have surgery to remove the buckshot. “He’s going to get surgery soon now that the veterinarians are pretty confident about the best course of action. It’s taken several different visits with several different veterinarians,” said RyanVoutilainen, Burnaby
SPCA branch manager. The shelter hopes to raise $6,000 to cover the cost of the surgery, he added. Beau is currently living in foster care, and once he has the surgery, and if all goes well, he should be ready for adoption about six to eight weeks after – but that’s if his foster parent doesn’t adopt him. “We know the foster par-
ent, at this point, hasn’t necessarily made a decision but may be very interested as well in the possibility of taking him on afterwards.That tends to happen with our foster parents quite often,”Voutilainen laughed. Donations can be made at spca.bc.ca/medicalemergency or in person at the Burnaby SPCA branch, 3202 Norland Ave. –Cayley Dobie

apart, and whether that can sort of bridge the distance,” said Lasanen. Psychology professor Rebecca Cobb told the NOW she was very interested to learn more after hearing Lasanen’s thesis pitch. “The idea by growing yourself and sharing that information with a partner, the more that they feel connected to you, the more that they feel like they’re a part of you, then one partner’s growth can actually become the other partner’s growth. The partner who might be staying at home can actually benefit by vicariously growing themselves,” she said. On the flip side, Cobb and Lasanen both understand going the distance could backfire. “If a person is more jealous or more concerned about their partner’s love and affection, if they’re more worried about that

An SFU psychology student wants to hear from 150 couples who are in a long-distance relationship. It’s all part of Brittany Lasanen’s honours thesis, which explores why some long-distance relationships (LDRs) last and others don’t. “I want to see what couples are doing while they’re apart and how that might be related to relationship qualities, such as satisfaction with the relationship,” she told the NOW. The idea for the study came from personal experience. In 2016, Lasanen was separated from partner Jakub Mscichowski for seven months while he was away in Taiwan studying Mandarin.There was a 16hour time difference and 9,700 kilometres between them.
“That really made me think of, ‘Well how do longdistance relationships go? How successful are they? Is this going to be something good for our relationship? Is it going to be something bad for our relationship?’” said Lasanen. “That’s when I wanted to turn to the psychology literature to see what studies and research says about LDRs.” The 25-year-old said she was quite surprised to find that people who choose to go the distance are “pretty comparable” to geographically close relationships. She described her own long-distance stint as a positive one and found when Mscichowski was abroad, she, too, also grew as a person from hearing about his adventures and new experiences. “I really wonder if sharing these experiences with a partner can help couples feel closer while they’re

5 THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE EXPANDING YOUR HOME
Homeowners who feel their homes are a little confined may be interested in expanding their homes to make them more comfortable and serviceable. Several questions may come to mind when homeowners are considering adding on to an existing home.
Expanding a home requires careful consideration.While the end results can be spectacular, expansion is typically a long and costly process that will impede on the lifestyles of a home’s inhabitants during the renovation process. Expect loud noises, work crews and sawdust throughout the project. Depending on which areas are being renovated, residents may feel their lives are in upheaval until the expansion project has been completed. Familiarizing yourself with the expansion process and recognizing potential snags along the way
can make planning and coping that much easier.
homeowners 1. Many first consult with a contractor when mulling over expansions. However, you may want to speak with an architect first. He or she may be able to suggest renovations that fit with your neighborhood and appeal to prospective buyers when you decide to sell your home in the future.
2.
Visit your building inspection or municipal office to learn the local regulations.You want to ensure that any renovations you make are done in keeping with safety codes and laws.
you’re 3. While thinking of your
neighbors, give them the heads up on your potential plans. This way they will not be surprised by the extra noise and activity when the renovation begins.
can 4. Remodeling cost anywhere from $200 to $600 per square foot added.You’ll need to figure out a way to pay for the renovations, and you may consider refinancing your home. Make sure it is a smart time financially to do so based on current real estate market conditions. Also know that additions will likely increase your home insurance coverage needs. Consult with the insurance company about estimated charges and any restrictions they have.
a 5. Consider standalone
structure when mulling over your options. Sometimes the cost of putting up a freestanding office or another structure on your property may end up being less expansive than expanding on what you already have. Think creatively and research all of your options before committing to a project.

Communitynow Lochdale student tops public speaking challenge Cornelia Naylor CLASS ACT
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
Taking challenges head on, being Canadian, honouring heritage and culture – those were just a few of the topics Burnaby Grade 7 students tackled during this year’s Public Speaking
Challenge. Every year since 1983, hundreds of Grade 7s from around the district have vied for top honours in the competition, which is designed to develop confidence and excellence in public speaking.The top two speakers from each of the district’s four zones qualify for the district finals. The theme of this year’s
event was “This Makes Me Proud.” Lochdale Community School’s Marisa Stark won this year’s challenge, while Lakeview Elementary’s Sohail Vasan captured second and Marlborough’s Negar Shaban came third. The trio will present their winning speeches at upcoming district and community events.
GARDEN GRANT Burnaby’s Stoney Creek Community School will get $2,000 towards an “edible educational tool” thanks to a grant from the Whole Kids Foundation, a charitable wing of Whole Foods Market. The money will go into the school’s garden. Only two per cent of chil-
dren eat enough fresh fruits and vegetables, according to a grant press release, but children who grow their own food are more likely to eat fresh produce and to be more knowledgeable about nutrition. “We are passionate about providing students with the opportunity to engage in learning outside of class-
rooms, and educational gardens do just that,”Whole Kids Foundation president Nona Evans said in the press release. “The joy and gratitude that comes from funding these programs for students never dulls.” Do you have an item for Class Act?

Speakers Program:
Burnaby Seniors Outreach Services Society is pleased to present our annual Unpaid Caregiver Expo. Let’s bring the community together to help, educate, and empower caregivers by providing them with access to useful services, resources and products. Caregiving can be harmful to one’s mental, physical and emotional health; as well as resulting in financial strain and burn out. Oftentimes a caregiver may experience a sense of isolation and feel alone. We are here to tell you that you are not alone. There are over 8 million unpaid caregivers in Canada, most of whom are feeling physically or mentally exhausted to the point of distress, anger, anxiety or depression. We want to recognize and celebrate the invaluable work the caregivers in our community perform for their loved ones and raise awareness about their challenges and experiences. So whether you are a caregiver, you know a caregiver or soon will be, we invite you to join us at our Caregiver Expo and learn about programs and services that can support you in your caring journey. We have six educational speakers who will discuss topics such as how to connect and navigate community resources, caring for yourself while caring for others and planning for the future. This year we have partnered with 20+ exhibitors at the event who will educate and inform our attendees on the support and community resources available for our caregivers. Come along to our Expo on March 25th. Entry and parking is free. New this year, will be a complimentary shuttle between Royal Oak Station and Bonsor Recreation Complex.

The challenges of caregiving and ways to cope DavidicusWong HEALTHWISE
editorial@burnabynow.com
Caregivers take on a role on top of their other roles in life.They may need to manage the financial, medical and household affairs of a family member while still attending to their own.They may be sandwiched between caring for their growing children and their aging parents.There is only so much time.You only have so much energy, yet you remain on call 24/7. Sometimes family members may resist the change in roles. In the face of growing disability, they may struggle for their independence and refuse the help they need.They may persist in the role of being in charge though they may lack the capacity to make appropriate decisions. Caregivers, therefore, experience a mix of emotions. While still caring deeply, they may feel frustration and resentment with their roles and how they are treated. Outstanding issues in their past relationships may add further conflict to their lives today. At times, the demands of caregiving can be overwhelming, and as family members’ disability and dependence increase as it always does, there inevitably will be a point when you can reach your limit.You
may break down in tears, lose your temper or feel like giving up, and when this happens, you may feel guilty about it. Caregivers, of course, are at risk for Caregiver Stress. They need to be aware of the signs and symptoms and know when and how to get the help they need. Over time, chronic stress can lead to a sense of helplessness, which is associated with anxiety. If this persists, we may acquire a sense of hopelessness, which in turn is associated with depression. These feelings will shade our thinking, influence our behaviour and impact our capacity to help ourselves as well as our family members. When we are suffering from anxiety, we will be prone to panic. Our thoughts may be more disorganized and we may be preoccupied with worries. We underestimate our resources and abilities.We overestimate our challenges. We will have difficulty sleeping.We may catastrophize – imagining the worst-case scenario – everyday. When we are depressed, we may feel weepy, dejected and hopeless. Physically, we may have changes in our appetite and sleep.We will feel tired, lethargic and unmotivated.We may stop enjoying the little pleasures in life. Our concentration and memory may suffer.We may be pessimistic about our-

selves, our lives and the future. If you recognize these signs of distress, anxiety or depression, speak to your family doctor soon. Don’t delay and put your health last. Remember: your wellbeing will affect your ability to care for others. With chronic conditions, we have to recognize there may be a time when we
are no longer able to care for our family member at home. Ideally, we would have these discussion early on, discussing as a family possible scenarios for future care either with home care support or residential care at a long-term care facility or assisted living. Another option is respite care – a short-term stay at a residential facility for a weekend or
1 6 t h
a week.This may allow the primary caregiver to take a much needed break. The conversation should start early because we really want to respect the preferences and values of the individual. If we wait too long, our family member may no longer be capable of making important decisions. On Saturday, March 25, from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.,

Clan pair earn golfing honours
Crisologo, Leung named golfers of the week
From the tee box to the green, Simon Fraser University’s golfers attracted attention in their California swings. A pair of Burnaby Mountain golfers received due recognition for their efforts over the past seven days, with Chris Crisologo and Emily Leung earning the Great Northwest Athletic Conference’s male and female golfers of the week. On the heels of a third-place showing at the Notre Dame de Namur Invitational in Livermore, Calif., where Crisologo carded a three-round 1-under-par 215, the junior was tagged as the GNAC’s men’s player of the week. He tied for the tourney’s lowest single round score with a 4-under-par 68 on the second round. With the women’s team, Leung collected her second player-of-the-week award of the spring, this time in Chico where she tied for third place at the Interwest Chico State Invite with a two-round score of 9-over-par 153. A sophomore, Leung fired a tourneybest 1-under-par 71 on the second day. After a first round of 82, Leung powered into the top three with her 71, finishing at 153 and just two strokes back of Sonoma State’s Haley Whitbeck. The SFU women’s team placed fifth overall, with strong support from freshman Jaya Rampuri, who registered rounds of 77 and 78 (155) to place in the top 10.Teammates Michelle Waters (88, 81 – 169), at 27th, and Breanna Croxen (87, 84 – 171), for 31st, rounded out the team’s top four. Crisologo, meanwhile, spearheaded SFU’s seventh-place showing at the NDNU Invitational. On rounds of 75, 68 and 72 (215), the Richmond native was six shots back of leader Trevor Lampson of California Baptist. His three days included a pair of eagles and 11 birdies, finishing an impressive 5-under on par-5 holes. The only other SFU golfer to crack the top-20 results was Sy Lovan, who fired rounds of 75, 72 and 75 (222) to place 15th overall. Kevin Vigna wrapped up with a three-day total of 227 (78, 73, 76) to place 60th, while Craig Titterington tied for 60th (82, 76, 75 – 233).

King of the Court celebrates 25 years
Bonsor Community Centre draws competitive squash crowd for tournament Dan Olson
dolson@burnabynow.com
Burnaby’s King of the Courts squash tournament has gained a reputation among Lower Mainland competitors as an event where you go for the workout, and stay for the fun. It’s a three-wall boast that highlights the multi-division tourney that will mark its 25th year at the Bonsor Recreation Complex. The four-day tournament, where shots like the three-wall boast will ricochet into play, kicks off Thursday with games starting at 5:30 p.m.
For Sherman Quon, the focus is on coming together on the court and seeing a lot of familiar faces. “It’s getting bigger and bigger, and because it falls at the end of the squash (tournament) season, a lot of players like to finish with (the King of the Courts),” said Quon, who has been competing in it for 20-plus years. The tourney has various competitive divisions, for men and women, but isn’t known as one of the elite competition events on the calendar. Offering players from around the Lower Mainland a chance to get some good court action and mingle among
friends is one reason the tourney continues to thrive. “It’s like a family gathering for everyone,” noted Gabriel Leung, 57, who has competed frequently in the tourney since moving to Canada in the early 1990s. “It’s not as serious compared to some other competing racquet clubs, but, even though I’m not playing, I go and watch,” Leung said, noting a stroke last year has limited his playing to twice a week. In fact, he suffered a heart attack while competing at the King of the Courts a handful of years ago, and says having it there at the Bonsor Rec Com-
plex was fortuitous. “I guess that’s the good luck – at Bonsor you have the lifeguards, the fire station, so there was quick help.” Quon is also taking this year’s tourney off due to a knee injury. But he’s a stead-fast supporter and will be there helping out. “I’m known around (Bonsor) as the guy with two knee braces,” Quon said. “(Squash) is great for cardio exercise, and a lot of regulars have stuck to the (tournament) and played there a long time. I’ll be there watching and wishing I could play.” The action continues Friday and wraps up Sunday.

Burnaby goaltender keeps his cool in jr. Heat net
It’s been a good year for Burnaby’s Nicolas Bruyere. A netminder for the Chase Heat, Bruyere was named an all-star in the Kootenay Junior B Hockey League last week. He’s also backstopped his team into the league Okanagan Conference championships, where the Heat currently trails the Osoyoos Coyotes 2-0. Bruyere, 20, was between the pipes in both losses, 3-2 on Saturday and 6-5 in overtime on Sunday, and faced 88 shots over the two days.
He was a prime reason why Chase cruised past Revelstoke and Kamloops by identical 4-1 series decisions to advance to the league semifinal. Earlier, he was named the Heats’ best player in the divisional series. Bruyere has posted a 2.28 goals-against average and .931 save percentage over the 12 playoff games, facing 418 shots in the process. Those are similar to his regular season performance, where the former Grandview Steeler made 36 starts and finished with
a 24-9-2 record, to go with a 2.71 goalsagainst average and .922 save percentage. He played his minor with the Burnaby Winter Club.
SILVER FOR BURNABY BOCCIA PLAYER Burnaby’s Hanif Mawji pushed his rivals hard en route to finishing second at the 2017 Canadian Boccia championships in Longueil, Que. Mawji, a veteran of the Canadian Parapan Games team, was undefeated after the opening day but finished the competition
behind veteran BC1 (classification based on severe locomotive disabilities) Eric Lefebvre of Quebec, a first-time Canadian champion. In third place was Ontario’s Keven Smith-Worthylake. Mawji, who has cerebral palsy, has a silver and bronze medal from the 2015 Parapan Games and also represented Canada at the 2008 Beijing Paralympics. Also competing at the nationals was Burnaby resident Caroline Vietnieks, who in BC4 had begun the nationals undefeated after one day.

Kett nets final all-star honour
In a storybook NCAA career, Simon Fraser University senior captain Ellen Kett would likely trade all the hardware for a few more meaningful basketball games. While SFU’s season ended last week in the NCAA Div. 2 West Regional final, Kett’s awards collection continues to grow, as the guard was selected to the West Region Women’s Basketball All-Region second all-star team. Her final season saw the Melbourne, Australia-native lead the NCAA Div. 2 with 7.7 assists per game, and es-
tablishing a Great Northwest Athletic Conference record for assists in a game. In helping SFU advance to the Sweet 16 tournament, Kett averaged 12.2 points per game and finished with a GNAC record 262 assists in her final season. She finished her career with 692 assists over four years, sitting fourth all-time in SFU program history. The only others with more helpers are five-year players Andrea Schneider (1988-92) with 926; Lani Gibbons (2003-08) with 922; and Dani Langford (2000-05) with 802.
Stealth lose stick-up
The Buffalo Bandits entered the Langley Events Centre and pulled off a second-half heist, beating the Vancouver Stealth 15-11 on Friday. Eight straight goals, beginning in the third quarter, erased a 7-6 Vancouver lead and put the visitors in charge. New West’s Anthony Malcolm counted a goal and three assists for Buffalo, while the Stealth got hat tricks from Jordan Durston and Corey Small, and a single by the Lakers’ Peter McFeteridge.

OBITUARIES
KATHLER, Mary (Molly) (Welch, Faulkner)
September 1919 - February 2017 It is with much sadness we announce the passing of our beloved Mother Mary (Molly) Kathler (Welch Faulkner) on February 27, 2017.
MORAN, James
April 8, 1928 - February 8, 2017 Sadly we announce the passing of James (Jim) Moran, age 88, at Lions Gate Hospital. A loving husband, father & grandfather, he is survived by his wife Mable, daughters Paddy, Leah & Tara, sister Irene (Ian), six grandchildren, four great grandchildren and many nieces & nephews. He is predeceased by his son Brent, brothers Ray and Earl, and sisters Chris and Evelyn. Born in Calgary, Jim moved to New Westminster as a young boy & graduated from TJ Trapp Tech where he also met Mable. They married in 1950 & five years later started their family. Jim worked briefly at the Fraser Mills Lumber Company before starting a successful career in the insurance industry, which later took him back to Calgary. In 1970, he returned to Vancouver with his family & resided first in Lions Bay and then in North Vancouver. Jim retired at age sixty and enjoyed many travels near and far with Mable and his family. Some of his favourites included Australia, New Zealand, Ireland & cruises to Alaska, South America & Europe. He also loved his annual road trips to Palm Desert & Whistler in one of his many Cadillacs. He was an avid reader and loved his pets Molly & Tomassina. He enjoyed walks with Molly at Ambleside, spending time at home, working in the yard and feeding his many feathered friends. Jim was a kind, gentle, humble and compassionate man. He gave generously & in his quiet, unassuming way, exemplified everything a wonderful & supportive husband, father, friend & neighbour could be. Jim will be missed by everyone whose lives he touched. Without him, the world will be a little emptier and the heavens a little brighter.
Molly was predeceased by her son Howard Welch in 2005 and her husband George in 2010. She will be lovingly remembered by her son Fred, her daughter Lyn Girard, husband Maurice and grandson Brad, and Molly’s first husband Charles Welch, Victoria, BC, cousin Enid and many nephews and nieces in Washington and California. She will be missed by her friends and co-workers in Burnaby where she volunteered for over 30 years at the Confederation Centre, and by her friends at Ingleton Place where she resided until her passing. Family gathering at a later date. No service by request. “God’s Greatest Gift” Remembrance.

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.
