Next gen robots on the way Four Burnaby robots, representing a total of about 1,200 hours of student labour, took to the floor for their last VEX Robotics Competition of the season Saturday. Accompanied by 14 Alpha Secondary students, robots 502a, 502b, 502c and 502d, were put to the test one last time against 79 other machines from around B.C. and Alberta at the Pacific Northwest Regional Championship at BCIT. “In the next couple weeks, as soon as worlds wrap up, they’ll release the new game and then we’ll start building our robots for next year,” Alpha robotics teacher Russell Evanisky. Such is the fate of all VEX robots. Every spring, after the world championships in April, organizers announce a new skill-testing game, and students around the world spend the rest of the year designing, building and perfecting machines to play the game better than the competition – Continued on page 4

Gov’t collects on student loans 25 years later

Burnaby resident ordered to pay double what he borrowed after judge rules he was still liable for debt By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby resident who failed to pay back $23,712 in student loans 25 years ago has now been ordered pay the government more than twice as much, according to a B.C. Supreme Court judgment posted on-

line last month. Babak Khonsari took out a series of loans between 1983 and 1991, according to a Jan. 23 ruling by Justice Lisa Warren in a civil case between Khonsari and the Attorney General of Canada. “The defendant has never made any payments,” she

said. Neither written demands for payment in 1992 nor the work of a collection agency in 1993 helped in the recovery of the debt, according to the ruling, so government lawyers sent a letter demanding payment in full in 1994. Khonsari testified he nev-

er got that letter or a summons and statement of claim for a 1996 civil suit against him. He said he also didn’t get any of the letters government lawyers sent telling him the judge in that case had ordered him to pay the original student loan plus interest and costs for a total

2006, just before the first case approached its 10-year expiry date, but lawyers were unable to find him to serve him with the papers. In 2008, they got a court order allowing them to serve Khonsari by sticking a copy of the service order Continued on page 4

Independent runner gets a seat at the meet By Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby Board of Trade (BBOT) has changed its policy on who is allowed to participate in all-candidates meet-and-greets. On March 16, Elias Ishak, the independent candidate for Burnaby-Deer Lake, contacted the NOW claiming he was being excluded from a BBOT event on April 24 where attendees could mingle with candidates in each of Burnaby’s four provincial ridings. After contacting the board of trade, the NOW was told Ishak did not receive an invite because he did not meet the organization’s policy. To be invited, the policy (at that time) required that candidates represent a political party currently represented in the legislature, with at least one member holding a seat at the time of the invitation; be an independent candidate who has at least five per cent of the popular vote in at least one publicly available opinion poll conducted in one of the Burnaby ridings within three months of the all-candidates event; or any candidates representing political

parties which have at least five per cent of the overall popular vote in at least one publicly available opinion poll conducted within three months of the all-candidates event. Paul Holden, the BBOT’s president and CEO, said the organization keeps the criteria quite broad in order to

Elections should be about the free exchange of ideas.

get “a broad range of people in the room.” He said staff were not trying to exclude anyone. But Ishak argued as an independent, meeting the five per cent threshold would mean taking money out of his own pocket and paying for a poll. Rick McGowan, Green candidate for Burnaby-Deer Lake, voiced his support for Ishak on social media. “Elections should be about the free exchange of ideas. My independent opponent, Elias Ishak, is being

excluded from the Burnaby Board of Trade’s all-candidate meet-and-greet,” McGowan wrote in a post on Facebook. “Elias got over 5,000 votes when he ran for school board.You can contact Cory, manager of policy and events ... and let him know that Elias deserves to be heard.” A few days later, Holden told the NOW the BBOT had revised its policy for the April 24 meet-and-greet and invitations to participate will be sent to all registered candidates in Burnaby’s four ridings. Ishak, who’s on the registration list, said he was happy with the BBOT’s revision. “I’m happy that I will have the opportunity to speak to business owners in Burnaby. My family is very business-oriented, and I think that my platform is more pro-business than the NDP or Liberals,” he said, also thanking McGowan for his support. The all-candidates event is on from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Firefighters Banquet Hall, 6515 Bonsor Ave. It’s free and open to everyone, including businesses and residents.

$21 million going to infrastructure upgrades By Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

The City of Burnaby will be investing $21 million into infrastructure upgrades this year. At Monday night’s council meeting, councillors unanimously voted in favour of the big-ticket item. “It’s sewer separation work, replacing pipes, that sort of stuff,” Dan Johnston, chair of the finance management committee, told the NOW. “It’s pretty routine.We want to make sure we keep our infrastructure up to date, so that

we’re not having a situation down the road where we can’t meet the needs.” Around $5.7 million will be spent on the sewer separation program. “Sewer separation minimizes volumes of combined sewer overflow to the environment and the amount of wastewater that needs to be treated, resulting in better allocation of resources, lower energy use and reduced environmental impact,” reads a staff report. Another $7.3 million will be invested into intersections in northeast Burnaby, while $3.3 million will be

injected into the Hastings Street water mains. Meanwhile, crews will also be upgrading the city’s existing water meters ($750,000). “New meter reading technology improves meter reading accuracy and billing and is anticipated to lead to significant cost saving compared to manual reading and data collection methods,” according to the report. For more details and to view the report, go to tinyurl.com/BurnabyReport and scroll to page 14 of the council package.

MAKING WAVES:

Elias Ishak is the independent candidate running in the riding of BurnabyDeer Lake. He will be participating in an all-candidates meet-and-greet later this month hosted by the Burnaby Board of Trade after he was initially excluded from the event. The business organization argued it wasn’t excluding Ishak, saying he didn’t meet the necessary criteria laid out in its policy. A short while later, the group changed its policy to allow all registered candidates to participate.

Two city men face a total of 22 charges after robberies By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Two Burnaby men face a total of 22 charges after a series of robberies and break-and-enters that stretched from Feb. 20 to March 13 and covered seven police jurisdictions. Coquitlam RCMP arrested the two men on March 13 and recovered a replica pistol, according to an RCMP press release. Investigators then executed a search warrant on a Coquitlam storage locker and found stolen property from four separate break-ins. They also recovered 13 firearms, at least four of which had illegal modifications such as filed-off serial numbers. Other items recovered included cigarettes, vaping supplies, video games and gaming consoles and lottery tickets. Nicholas Lenard Traviss, 20, faces 10 counts of robbery with a firearm, while

Dillon Juel Stanton, 26, faces 10 counts of robbery with a firearm, one count of possessing a firearm without a licence and one count of possessing the identity documents of another person. “This is a complicated investigation and more charges are possible,” Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Michael McLaughlin stated in the press release. “We are still in the process of returning stolen goods and forwarding evidence to Crown counsel. We want to remind everyone of the importance of photographing valuables and recording serial numbers. Police often recover stolen property and face challenges getting that property back to the rightful owner.” Coquitlam RCMP led the investigation with help from Abbotsford Police and Mounties in Burnaby, Langley, Mission, Maple Ridge and Surrey. Stanton and Traviss are currently in custody.Their next court appearance is April 12.

City now Judge orders man to pay back student loans, interest Continued from page 1 on the front door of his parents’ Burnaby home and sending a copy to that address through the mail. When Khonsari didn’t respond, a default judgement ordered him to pay $59,345.10 – the amount of the first judgement plus interest and costs. Government lawyers then sent three letters about the judgement to Khonsari’s parents’ address, before another locate agent found in 2010 that Khonsari was living in Japan with his wife. A final demand letter was sent in 2013 to no avail before the government succeeded in getting a garnish-

ing order in 2014 and began garnishing the wages of Khonsari, who was by then back in Canada and working for Apple. “None of the letters that were sent to the defendant at the various addresses to which I have referred were returned by Canada Post,” Warren said in her judgment. “However, the defendant maintains that he was unaware of the First Action and this action and that he was unaware of both judgments until his wages were garnished in the fall of 2014.” Khonsari testified he had travelled and lived abroad on and off for many of the

This is only Alpha’s third full year of competition, and the school has yet to send a team to worlds – held in Louisville, Ky. every year. “It’s tough; it’s very tough,” Evanisky said. Dylan McLean and Patrick Reddy, Grade 12 students in charge of Alpha’s top robot – 502a – had been gunning for the big show all season and captured the Judges Choice Award at the season opener at Alpha on Oct. 15 and the South Island Design Award at Shawnigan Lake Nov. 19. At their last chance to

qualify, the provincial championships in February, however, they didn’t make the quarter final. At BCIT, they were the only Alpha team to qualify for Division A competition but were eliminated in the quarter final. Alpha competitors in Division B included Nadiya Scratchley, Kayden Keshani, Morgan O’Neil, Aedan McClain, Daniel Carlin, Jonathon Ina, Callahan Jones, Morgan XiaoYu, Adit Bhatia,Vince De Leon, Graham Perry and Sam English. “Overall it was a good season,” Evanisky said. - By Cornelia Naylor

years after he got his student loan, and, when he was in Canada, he changed residences multiple times, but Warren noted there was no evidence he took steps to inform the government about his whereabouts or inquire after the status of his loan. Six months before finding out about the judgments, as he was buying a Burnaby condo with a $95,000 down payment (a gift from

his parents), Khonsari testified a Royal Bank employee had told him a credit report on him was “clear,” showing “no debts or judgments.” “He deposed that given the lengthy passage of time since he received the student loans and the limitation period applicable to an action to collect on the student loan debt, he believed that he was no longer required to pay back the

loans,”Warren said. After an application from Khonsari, the second judgment was set aside by Justice Kenneth Affleck in April 2016. Khonsari then pleaded in a response to civil claim that the first judgement shouldn’t be enforced either because the government had failed to serve him the papers for it or take reasonable steps to enforce it be-

fore he bought his condo. He further pleaded that ordering him to pay the interest would be an “unconscionable penalty.” Warren disagreed. “In my view, the plaintiff took all reasonable steps,” she said. Warren concluded by granting the government $53,864.30, the amount of the first judgment plus interest and costs.

Pool user complains after locker room theft Clothes, keys and glasses taken from unlocked locker Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

An “embarrassing” theft at Edmonds Community Centre (ECC) has “permanently scarred” a Burnaby man’s memory to the point he and his wife have not returned to the facility. On Feb. 27, someone walked into the men’s change room and stole a bag belonging to Shan Wang, according to a letter submitted to the city’s parks and rec commission.The bag contained keys to his house and car, glasses and all Wang’s clothes. “He was left with only his swimming pants,”Wang’s wife, Rona, writes. “This resulted in a very frustrated and embarrassing experience.” The Wangs were apparently told the thief had stolen another bag that same day but from the weight

room. “We were also informed that thefts occur regularly at ECC,” she said. “There is no gate or staff monitoring the paid entrance areas to the swimming pool and weight room. Anyone, paid or not, can simply walk in

Anyone, paid or not, can simply walk in …

to or out of the paid change rooms of the swimming pool at ECC like a free market.” Rona argued the current layout of the Edmonds centre makes it too easy for those that have not paid to enter. “The receptionists are located on the opposite side

of the entrance, and they are focused on program registration and admission payment,” she said in the letter. The couple has asked the city to enhance safety measures at the centre, including installing lockers that provide refundable quarters. The Wangs said they sometimes have to borrow quarters from friends or leave their locker unlocked. It seems the latter happened to the Wangs, and they fell victim to a crime of opportunity, according to Dave Ellenwood, the city’s director of parks and recreation. “The first lesson is try and take advantage of the security measures that are already in place,” Ellenwood told the NOW. “It’s an unfortunate circumstance if you have to keep going in and out of the locker, but until there’s a better way, Continued on page 8

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Could there be hope on the horizon? Mayors around Metro Vancouver are celebrating the Government of Canada’s commitment of $2.2 billion for rapid transit projects in the region, money that was announced in the recent federal budget. The money paves the way for the SkyTrain extension to UBC and for new rapid transit service in Surrey. It’s about time – and we mean that quite literally. Our commutes are grow-

ing longer and our fuses shorter. Before anyone gets excited about expanded roadways and more lanes of traffic, let’s remember that building your way out of gridlock remains a popular, roll-up-your-sleeves solution that’s not working, hasn’t worked, and isn’t likely to work in the future. Another bridge across the Fraser River is a similarly crowd-pleasing idea that be-

If we want value for dollar, you can’t do better than public transit. comes less pleasing when you realize there’s no great, untouched road network where another bridge can

attach. And, even if it could, all those cars still have to cram onto the current road network. If we want value for dollar, you can’t do better than public transit. For example: stats from TransLink show buses only account for two per cent of the vehicles that cross the Lions Gate Bridge, but they carry 25 per cent of the people.That’s success worth building on, yet “Sorry …

Bus Full” might be mistaken for the name of our bus routes. The mayors’ council on regional transportation now has to move forward with negotiations with the province to secure matching funds. And they also have to make sure that they’re all on the same page with this vision for regional transportation – whether their particular municipality directly

benefits from the new rapid transit lines or not. It’s easy for senior levels of government to ignore 21 mayors and councillors with disparate agendas.They might have a much harder time closing their ears to a single voice speaking for 180,000 voting, tax-paying residents. If we can get these politicians moving, we can get traffic moving too.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

B.C. campaign is getting personal The election writ won’t even be issued until next week, but already the two major parties appear to have revealed – via TV advertising – the main thrust of their key campaign message to voters. The B.C. Liberals have clearly adopted the old political phrase “it’s the economy, stupid.” Everything boils down to creating jobs for as many people as possible and keeping taxes low. The NDP, on the other hand, are starting off in an aggressive attack mode. Three short television ads debut this week, and all zero in on Premier Christy Clark in very personal terms (her party is only mentioned once, and even then is called “Christy Clark’s Liberals.”) The contrast to the NDP’s 2013 election campaign could not be clearer. Back then, the party barely mentioned their opponents and ran a campaign that lacked focus or emotion. But now it appears the New Democrats will relentlessly go after Clark on issues that frame her as a protector of the interests of the wealthy (all three ads feature a photograph headshot of her being showered with cash). I expect this tone will continue for at least the early part of the 28-day campaign, and the week leading up to it. Don’t be surprised to see NDP leader John Horgan spending the first 10 days or so “prosecuting” Clark by name and over issues such as political fundraising, tax cuts for wealthy people, and various scandals and controversies.

I’ll be surprised if the B.C. Liberals respond in kind with harsh attacks on Horgan, at least not directly.There are third-party advertisers who are already launching those attacks, including one ad that suggests the NDP leader wants to embrace the far-left and fargreen “Leap Manifesto.” The B.C. Liberals will undoubtedly try to argue, after having made the case the province’s economy is chugging along because of their stewardship, that an NDP government would wreck economic growth and kill jobs. And just as the NDP ads focus on her, the B.C. Liberals’ theme will be very much wrapped around Clark’s personality. Clark is clearly a polarizing figure. She elicits a visceral, negative reaction from core NDP supporters, but at the same time galvanizes B.C. Liberal supporters or those who can’t bring themselves to ever vote for the NDP. Both sides are betting their view of her matches the view the majority of voters have of her. But attacks can only take the NDP so far. At some point the NDP will have to present a more positive message to voters, one that clearly outlines specifically what it will do help people and doesn’t just attack Clark. But until then, expect the next couple of weeks to be a rough and bruising time in B.C. politics.Things are about to get very loud, and very personal. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

City of Burnaby failing to protect environment Dear Editor: Riverside was a rural-looking area when I first moved here 30 years ago. There were hundreds of barn swallows, a cacophony of frogs/ toads in the ditches in the spring, and pheasants running through the neighbourhood, herons in the ditches eating small fish/frogs, market gardens. Today, all that remains are some singing frogs/ toads and an occasional heron and a couple of market gardens. The city rules are useless in Riverside as they are against Kinder Morgan. This city government pats itself on its back for chasing Kinder Morgan and championing environmental issues. The environmental issues that make the news. The city has not effectively enacted any of its powers of environmental laws or concern for our area. Mega-homes with rental homes disguised as garages, work areas, secretive religious buildings, are the norm. The city has a permanent visual squint for any and all infractions. I am sure that Riverside is not the only area in Burnaby environmentally neglected. The environment issue is an awareness tool for the city for re-election purposes only and to support the NDP MLAs and MPs in Burnaby/New West. As callous as the city was in approving mega-building projects

without concern for the outcome, it has a callous approach to protecting the environment in Riverside specifically and Burnaby in general. They do have environmental showcases, restricted to rivers, lakes and streams. But the greater eco-system is allowed to rot without a plan to integrate the large area like Riverside into the Byrne Creek rehabilitation and others in the area and municipality. Frank Mesich, Burnaby

A simple idea to keep CanadaWay moving Dear Editor: During rush hour, Canada Way is congested. I think the city should take a second look at the intersection of Burris Street and Canada Way, where a motorist would notice that the Burris left-turn signal is always “on,” even if there are almost no cars or very few cars turning left in that intersection. That seconds delay causes a backup all the way to Sperling and causes so much delay for motorists just because of a badly designed intersection frequency. The city should re-evaluate this intersection. By right, the left-turn to Burris should be on only “when-clear” status and give priority to Canada Way during rush hour. Efren Abella, Burnaby

City now Most rec centre thefts are from unlocked cubbies: city Continued from page 5 that’s the one that seems to work best.” Ellenwood said his department will look at improving monitoring protocols, so similar incidents don’t happen. “It’s an issue of balance between customer service and security. If we have clerks that are taking payments and dealing with lineups, can we institute a security measure that will eliminate that type of crime? Probably not, but we can make it a deterrent for people to gain unauthorized en-

try.” There hasn’t been an abnormal number of thefts at the Edmonds centre, added the director, and it’s inaccurate to say crime happens often. In 2015, Edmonds had 25 thefts – 23 from unlocked cubbies and three from locker break-ins.There were 26 last year – 17 from unlocked cubbies and eight from locker break-ins. For comparison, there were 34 thefts at Bonsor Recreation Complex last year, all of which were from unlocked cubbies, according to Ellen-

wood. “It’s not a common occurrence (at Edmonds). The security measures are there. In this case, the things were unsecured because of the fact he (Wang) didn’t have a quarter available. If he had, and had it been secured, then I don’t think that would have happened,” Ellenwood said. After the theft was reported that day, Edmonds staff lent Wang a shirt and a blanket, and helped the couple call their son to arrange for a pickup.

Should Barnet Marine Park have a marina?

Basket Bunny & Eggs $

Parks commission considers request from resident Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

The city’s parks and rec commission is looking into the pros and cons of setting up a small marina at Barnet Marine Park. It’s in response to a proposal put forward by Leon Li, owner of Vandica Boat Rental, according to a letter submitted to the commission. “Our business grew very well last summer since more and more tourists visited our beautiful B.C.,” the Burnaby resident wrote. “Unfortunately, we had to take our clients out of Burnaby because there is not a marine boat rental or ramps here, so we went to Vancouver,West Vancouver, North Vancouver and Port Moody.” According to the Vandica website, the company has just one inflatable, motorized boat. It’s 10 feet long

and can hold up to four adults. Li rents it out for $150 to $170 a day. “Burnaby has great location and amazing scenery such as Barnet Marine Park. Actually, the water of Indian Arm to the north of Barnet Marine Park is one of (the) top 10 best boating area(s) in Canada,” Li said in the letter. “Now more and more high-rising (sic) buildings are constructed in Burnaby, that means more and more residents won’t have boat parking at home, but they need boating as well.” Li went on to suggest setting up a boat rental facility in Barnet Marine Park, one he said would be similar to the one at Deer Lake Park. Dave Ellenwood, the city’s director of parks and recreation, doesn’t think the commission will entertain the idea. “It’s a wilderness park. It’s something that wouldn’t

be compatible with the current uses,” he told the NOW. “There’s a marina at Rocky Point (Port Moody) and there’s a marina along the Barnet Highway. Another one that’s in the middle of a natural area, I don’t think people will go for.” Access to a marina in Barnet Marine Park would be difficult because of the railway tracks, said Ellenwood. “We’d have to negotiate an access for trailers.There’s a lot of issues that would have to be dealt with and that’s why we would have to examine (those issues).” Ellenwood added the idea of a rental facility in that park isn’t something new. “It usually pops up every couple of years or so,” he said. The parks and rec commission will receive a report from city staff on their findings at a later date.

Artsnow DECK brings dark humour to the Shadbolt

Do-it-yourself projects are never simple – especially when Lucas Myers gets involved. Myers is bringing his oneman show DECK, or How I Instigated Then Overcame an Existential Crisis Through Home Improvement, to the Shadbolt Centre for the Arts on April 21 and 22. Myers, an actor and playwright based in Nelson, uses DECK to examine “the fine line between perfectionism and obsession, chaos and freedom, and why a piece of 2x6 lumber isn’t really two inches by six inches,” as a press release notes. DECK tells the story of Cliv, a meticulous single parent of two who has been forced to reassess his future after taking major losses in the recession. He embraces a new start as a small-town, eco-conscious, back-to-the-

lander – but his attempts at self-sufficiency are hijacked by a bad house purchase, and he’s forced to try his hand at home improvement. Enter Corey, the charismatic carpenter who takes Cliv under his wing and offers to lend a hand. “As Cliv is drawn into Corey’s world of freewheeling, free-living, Cliv begins to lose his grasp on reality and is consumed by suspicions of Corey’s true motives,” the release says. Described as “darkly hilarious,” the production is not suitable for children. DECK is onstage on Friday, April 21 and Saturday, April 22 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $30 to $38, available through tickets. shadboltcentre.com or at 604-205-3000. See www. shadboltcentre.com for more.

WHEN DIY GOES AWRY: Lucas Myers brings his one-man show DECK, or How I Instigated Then Overcame An Existential Crisis Through Home Improvement, to Shadbolt Centre on April 21 and 22. The show, which is aimed at adults, tells the story of a meticulous single dad who takes a hit in the recession and gets a new start as a small-town back-to-the-lander. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Burnaby’s celebrity magician takes on The Twins Julie MacLellan LIVELY CITY

If you happen to be a reality TV fan, you may have caught Burnaby’s own celebrity magician front and centre on The Twins – Happily Ever After. Yes, that was Murray SawChuck, headliner at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino, who was featured on the April 3 episode of the ABC show (which, for the uninitiated like myself, follows the exploits of

twins Haley and Emily Ferguson, fan favourites from Ben’s season of The Bachelor). In the episode, the twins took on Vegas and auditioned to be Murray’s assistants on the Las Vegas strip. “Emily and Haley Ferguson are such sweethearts, and it really was a pleasure meeting them,” Murray said in a press release.

Beltone on Hastings to become NexGen Hearing Meet Your Heights Merchant

Changes are afoot for one mainstay of the Burnaby Heights business community. Beltone on Hastings will see the operations rebranded as NexGen Hearing come April 15, as the two combine forces to offer quality hearing health care to those hard of hearing. Gary Galandie, a licensed Hearing Instrument Practitioner with close to 40 years of experience in the industry, first opened the doors to Beltone on Hastings seven years ago. While operating under the Beltone global umbrella, Gary’s business has been part of an international network of outlets with more than 15,000 locations in North America and presence in nearly 30 countries. “I just replaced a part in a hearing aid that was purchased in Taiwan,” Gary notes. By joining NexGen Hearing, which the business will be named following the rebranding,

Gary has chosen to align with a strong local brand. “The biggest advantage of NexGen is its incredible relationship with the medical community,” Gary explains, noting that NexGen Hearing works closely with many of B.C.’s local medical and ENT physicians. The advantages of this new relationship are experienced on both sides. “Partnering with Gary Galandie, and rebranding the Beltone clinic to NexGen Hearing will allow us to increase our service levels to five days a week, from 9am to 5.30pm,” says Marke Hambley, NexGen Hearings’ President and Director of Operations. No newcomer to the neighbourhood, NexGen Hearing has been serving the north Burnaby community for over four years on a “one day per week” basis at a satellite office across from Beltone with audiologist

Katie Daroogheh. Following the rebranding, services will be offered at the current Beltone location. As with many merchants on the East Hastings strip, Gary has strong ties to the location and neighbourhood. “I chose to open my business here because it’s close to the freeway, which is convenient because we operate a niche business by offering at-home testing. I can travel to most parts of Vancouver pretty easily from here,” he says. “I also used to live in the area and enjoyed being close to home.” Those familiar with the Burnaby Heights neighbourhood recognize the storefront with its floor to ceiling windows with a clear view of the operations inside. “It really lights up the neighbourhood,” says Gary, noting that many commuters pass by on a regular basis seeing as Hastings has become such a busy

thoroughfare for those living in the area and beyond. Over the years, Gary has given back to this community with an annual food drive whereby the donations are matched by Beltone. This type of charitable activity will continue with NexGen Hearing. “NexGen Hearing supports the Hear4U Foundation with its consultants donating their time to fit one financially challenged individual per month with a used hearing aid that cannot afford to purchase a hearing aid or doesn’t have third-party coverage for hearing aids,” says Marke. Marke has established himself as a strong advocate of the industry by founding and growing Island Hearing in 1978 from a small practice in Victoria to the largest integrated retail hearing aid service provider in Canada at that time. He came out of retirement in 2010 and in 2012 launched NexGen and has since

turned it into one of the most prominent players in the industry in B.C. with 44 locations in the Greater Vancouver area and lower mainland, Vancouver Island, and the interior. “NexGen Hearing is delighted to be able to expand its services to better serve the North Burnaby hard of hearing community,” he says. Burnaby will now have two NexGen locations with the other one in the Metrotown area on Kingsway. Some of the enhanced services people can expect from NexGen Hearing are hearing aid prices starting at $695, no interest financing, monthly draws for hearing aids valued at $5,000, free online and clinic hearing tests, and more.

Heights Happenings! In praise of April rain

Although April does not usually have the snow that Winter brings, or the sunshine that Summer promises us, it does provide tons of refreshing rain, with chances of uplifting sunshine. Initially, that may sound a tad bleak, but if we stop to think about all that the rain offers us it’s almost exciting. As a result of the rain, we’re able to enjoy the beautiful flowers. April is also Earth month, and what better way to celebrate the environment than to add to the Earth’s beauty. To prepare your garden, stop by Home Hardware for all your gardening tools and seeds. Cioffi’s Meat Market and

Deli also sells imported seeds for specialty Italian vegetables. The labour that you put in during the month of April will surely pay off once the flowers and produce thrive during the summer months. As the cold rain falls, don’t let it bring you down. Warm up with some comfort foods! For delicious soups head to Broken Rice, Saigon Bistro, Mr Chilli Noodle House, Kamamarui Ramen & Don, Hakkaku Ramen, Gray Olive Cafeteria, or Chez Meme Baguette Bistro. There are many other merchants besides those. They each offer a variety of different soups that are

sure to satisfy your cravings. To brighten your spirits on a gloomy day, stop by one of our many coffee shops and grab yourself a hot beverage, then take a stroll to some of the Heights’ side streets to discover all the beautiful cherry and plum blossoms that have bloomed… and suddenly, all that rain doesn’t seem half as bad. For a list of all our merchants, please visit www.burnabyheights.com. Sannaz Malakmohammadi is the Marketing and Community Events Assistant at Height Merchants Association BIA.

editorial@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby Board of Trade is having an allcandidates meet-and-greet on April 24. Attendees will get a chance to hear from candidates in each of Burnaby’s four ridings and mingle with them, too. The event, which runs from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., is free and open to everyone, including businesses, residents and anyone interested in learning more about the aspiring politicians. It’s happening at the Firefighters Banquet Hall, at 6515 Bonsor Ave. Free parking is available on the third floor of the adjacent Metrotown mall parking garage.The venue is also accessible by transit. BRONZE AWARDED TO BURNABY BIATHLETE A Burnaby teen has won bronze at the cadet national biathlon championship in Valcartier, Quebec. Claire Weng, 16, along with teammate Soheili Arman, won the accolade during the relay race on March 2.The winter sport combines cross-country skiing and rifle shooting. The event was Weng’s second experience at the national level, noted a press release. “I always stay motivated by encouraging myself. For example, when I’m at the

middle of the race, I tell myself I’m halfway done,” she said. Not only is Weng, who’s with the 759 Falcon Air Cadet Squadron, a biathlete, but she plays basketball and ultimate Frisbee. The cadet program offers young people aged 12 to 18 “dynamic activities that promote physical fitness in a safe and rewarding environment,” stated the release.

VOLUNTEERS HELP THE FOOD BANK St.Timothy Anglican Church received a helping hand this month from the Burnaby district of the Tzu Chi Foundation. Last June, the parish renovated its kitchen, forcing the closure of the food bank that operates out of there. On March 2, food distribution resumed and Tzu Chi volunteers rolled up their sleeves to help.They

did everything from carrying the non-perishables to the basement to distributing the hampers to clients. Due to the cold weather and lack of notice, only 42 people used the food bank that day, according to a press release. The church is at 4550 Kitchener St.The food bank is open every Thursday. Seniors can drop by between 11 a.m. and noon; everyone else is invited be-

tween noon and 12:30 p.m. Tzu Chi volunteers will be onsite every week.

Major University hearing study seeks participants. Connect Hearing, with a leading hearing researcher at Ryerson University, seeks participants for a hearing study investigating the factors that can influence better hearing. All participants will have a hearing test provided at no charge. Qualifying participants may also receive a demo of the latest hearing technology. The data collected from this study will be used to further our understanding of hearing loss and improve life-changing hearing healthcare across Canada.

Why Research Hearing Loss? Deep inside our ears are several thousand microscopic “hair cells.” These cells are arranged in rows and each cell is responsible for hearing a specific pitch, similar to the keys on a piano. As we age, some of these cells become damaged… from loud noises, chronic conditions, or the process of aging itself. Just like a

hearing loss will wait ten years before seeking help.2 This is because at the beginning stages of hearing loss people often find they can “get by” without help, however as the problem worsens this becomes increasingly harder to do. By studying those people having difficulty in noise or with television, we hope to identify key factors impacting these difficulties and further understand their influence on the treatment process.

For some people this loss of clarity is only a problem at noisy restaurants or in the car, but for others it makes listening a struggle throughout the entire day. It is estimated that 46% of people aged 45 to 87 have some degree of hearing loss,1 but most do not seek treatment right away. In fact, the average person with

Communitynow Beyond ‘me’: We all belong to a global community DavidicusWong HEALTHWISE

editorial@burnabynow.com

One of the key determinants of physical and emotional health – and therefore, happiness itself – is our sense of belonging – our connection with our community. Yet most of us go through our lives as distinctly separate individuals. Siblings compete with one another (as do spouses).We begin our lives in school focused on individual achievement (or failure). In sports, we compete with an “us versus them” mindset. Competition spreads to every part of adult life.We compete for jobs to earn more and get ahead.We compete for our homes. We fight traffic in our daily commutes.What is traffic? Other people. We compete as we compare ourselves with others, and we judge others – just as we know others are judging us – by the clothes we wear, the cars we drive and the symbolic prestige of particular mundane items of utility – phones, shoes, purses and watches. When we follow this mainstream way of thinking, the natural conclusion

is we all lose. By the end of this life, you will lose all you have gained. Everything you have built will one day be gone, and in a few generations, your name will be forgotten.What’s the point of it all? How you tell your personal story – how you see yourself and how you relate to other people and the rest of the world – impacts your emotional well-being and your capacity for enduring happiness. The inescapable truth is this: you are not a separate, independent individual; you are a global citizen interdependent with every other person on this planet.Your well-being is dependent on the well-being of others. The “me against the world” and “us versus them” story disconnects us from others and dehumanizes them; they become objects in the way or objects to be used. In reality, we have more in common with every other being on this planet than we realize. We each have hopes and dreams, pain and pleasure, joys and sorrows.We experience the same range of emotions and we are all subject to illness, misfortune, aging and death.We can unconsciously adopt maladaptive core beliefs and

get stuck in narrowed points of view, yet we each have the capacity to change and grow. This recognition can awaken compassion.We share our vulnerability, and we share our responsibility. The big problems of our society and the world will never be solved by people – and countries – looking out for themselves. As long as

we see one another as separate and competing individuals, we will continue to see abuse, crime, homelessness, hunger, terrorism and war. When more of us realize our interdependence and connection with the global community and all life on this planet, we will see the positive evolution of humanity and life on Earth. It begins with you.Together,

let us be the change we wish to see. On Friday, April 7 at 7 p.m., I’ll be speaking at the Vancouver Convention Centre East, 999 Canada Place in Vancouver as part of the Tapestry Foundation for Health Care’s public presentation series. My topic: Going Beyond Old Stories – Exploring, Engaging and Evolving into Our Posi-

tive Potentials. I’ll talk about exploring your personal story and the stories of others, engaging in the understanding and unfolding of your life story, and how our understanding of self, others and life can evolve as we transform our selves and our world towards our positive potentials.

Major changes spur big goals for Lakers Jim Milligan takes over Burnaby’s coaching, GM duties in pursuit of a Mann Cup

By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby Lakers made numerous moves in anticipation of a new approach to things for the upcoming 2017 Western Lacrosse Association season. The most recent move can be classified as perhaps the stealthiest. By hiring longtime Peterborough Lakers’ assistant coach Jim Milligan to take over the dual position of head coach and general manager, Burnaby can claim a gravitas to compete for a Mann Cup. “I guess I went from eastern to western Laker,” Milligan said of his new role. “When I came out (to B.C. last fall) to watch my son play I caught a game between Burnaby and Victoria, and I liked (Burnaby), their players.”

That the Lakers also selected Safirik. “(Milligan) contacted us son Cam Milligan, who came west last month, said he was relocating to help the Delta Islanders win its to B.C. and wanted the job. first B.C. provincial title, was an “We feel lucky that his circumextra incentive. stances and our poBurnaby had been sition lined up beon a lengthy search (Milligan) brings cause he brings a lot to replace Paul different experia lot of different of Rowbotham, who ences to our team.” had indicated an inMilligan served as experiences to terest in stepping an assistant coach our team. back.

He was the offensive coorNOW the team was pleased with dinator for the Peterborough Lakthe progress made under four-year ers for 10 seasons, as well as asbench boss Rory McDade, the exsistant GM for four. Milligan was ecutive decided Milligan’s bench also on the coaching staff with experience would be an asset. the men’s national team that won “It wasn’t a difficult search,” said the 2011 World Indoor Lacrosse

championship. Last week in his first deal with the club, Milligan acquired netminder Eric Penney from New Westminster in exchange for a second round draft pick in 2019. “I believe you build from the goaltending on out,” he noted. “We have a real good foundation here with (Tyler) Richards, (Zak) Boychuk and Penney, and combined with a strong backend I consider it to be second-to-none.” Milligan is hoping to finalize one of Rowbotham’s last deals, when the Lakers dealt a bevy of draft picks in February to acquire the rights to Burnaby native Nic Bilic and NLL star sniper Mark Matthews. The final piece is getting Ontario’s Brooklin franchise to sign-off on Matthews’ playing in B.C.

Dominating week leads Bruins to peewee gold By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

They were challenged, but the Burnaby Winter Club Bruins were never pressed.To see how the Bruins controlled every period of last month’s B.C. peewee A2 hockey championships in Trail was impressive. They completed the sweep with a 5-2 win over West Kelowna on March 22 to capture the B.C. title after going 5-0 over four days. “We set a goal the day we arrived in Trail to not lose a period of hockey,” noted coach Brad Reynolds. “As cliché as it sounds to play just

20 minutes at a time, that is what this team did. They didn’t drop a single period, and I think that was the most impressive performance looking back at provincials.” In the final, captain Noah Gibbons put Burnaby in front five minutes into the game, and counted two goals early in the second period to make it 3-0. His third goal came off a breakaway.West Kelowna countered with a goal a few minutes later, but the Bruins clinched it on tallies by Dryden Kuramoto and Ryden Evers. It was the closest test they faced all week, having outscored the competition 41-3. “The final game was a terrific game from

start to finish.West Kelowna was a very wellcoached team and matched our team’s speed for most of the game. It was definitely the best matchup of the tournament,” said Reynolds. Setting the tone were the second-year peewee players who displayed calm and consistency on both sides of the puck. Goalie Jaiden Sharma posted three straight shutouts and allowed just three goals over five games. Captains Amar Sidhu and Gibbons dominated at the other end, with Sidhu counting four goals in a 13-0 win over Kitimat. Gibbons ended up leading all shooters with 13 goals, including a pair of hat tricks.

SFU track runners build case Simon Fraser University track and field sensation Vladislav Tsygankov continued his rise up the NCAA running charts and Addy Townsend solidified her place among the top middle distance runners with their performances at the San Francisco State Distance Carnival and Stanford Invitational track and field meets on Saturday. Tsygankov and Townsend were among five runners who cracked the Top 10 nationally, and Townsend did it in two events, capping a terrific opening weekend against NCAA competition. Tsygankov, the Clan’s AllAmerican long jumper who began racing the 400 metres during the indoor season, ran his first 400m hurdles race Saturday and won. He ran the fastest time in Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC) history and fourth fastest time in NCAA this season. He made the national provisional qualifying standard. “It was an amazing run and what a surprise,” said Clan head coach Brit Townsend. Tsygankov beat a stacked field in the race, finishing in front of Fernando Martinez of Boise State, 51.48 to 51.75 to take first.Tsygankov also came Continued on page 24

Sports now Townsend sets new times

Continued from page 23 second in the long jump at the Distance Carnival with a leap of 7.04m. Townsend, who a few days earlier was voted the GNAC Indoor Female Athlete of theYear, continued her rise to national prominence after turning in personal bests in two events at the Stanford Invitational, making the Top-10 list nationally in both the 1500 and 800m distances. She pulled away from the field in the final 200m to win her 800m heat in 2:08.39, taking three seconds off her personal best. It places her sixth nationally. A day earlier, she joined the Top-10 in the 1500m by clipping five seconds off her PB with a finish time of 4:28.36.Two spots behind Townsend in eighth place nationally was Alana Mussatto, who improved her lifetime best time by a full second to 2:08.79. Rounding out the Top 10 nationally in the 800m was junior Paige Nock, who ranks 10th after running 2:09.17 in the race at SF State. Sophie Dodd is 15th (2:11.37). “They all had great runs for this early in the season and it’s the first time we have had three girls on the Top 10 list in the 800 so early in the season,” said

coach Townsend. Clan junior Julia Howley is ranked 11th on the 1500m list after posting a personal best 4:30.89 at the Distance Carnival. Paige Nock (17th) and Miryam Bassett (19th) also made provisional standards and rank nationally. SFU freshman phenom Diana Voloshin had a spectacular debut on Friday running the third fastest

GNAC time in history in the 100m hurdles.Voloshin posted her first NCAA Div. 2 provisional qualifying time of the season, clocking 14.03 seconds in the 100m hurdles at the Distance Carnival. In the men’s 100m, Burnaby native and SFU freshman Nathan Mah established a new PB with a third-place finish time of 10.91 seconds.

ROMAN, Mike Passed away peacefully on March 24, 2017 in New Westminster, British Columbia at the age of 83. Predeceased by his beloved wife Sheila. He will be lovingly remembered by his sons Michael (Jeannine) and David (Amie), his granddaughter Katia, his brother Steve, and his extended family and friends across Canada and beyond. Mike was born in Lethbridge, Alberta to Ukrainian immigrant parents. While a young boy, the family moved to a small farm in Queensborough, New Westminster, where Mike found time for a Tom Sawyer childhood between his farm chores and studies. Those studies culminated in a Bachelor of Applied Sciences Degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of British Columbia. Mike happily spent his entire career at Imperial Oil, where he retired as Chief Engineer. He was devoted to his family and was proud that both his sons pursued engineering in his footsteps. In his spare time, Mike loved to be by or on the ocean, in particular working on or sailing his vintage Westerly, Puffin. Mike was (and his family is) grateful to Arianne, Elizalde and Pancho, whose generosity of spirit helped him to live independently for as long as possible, and to the many wonderful people at Royal City Manor who helped him to live happily and comfortably, with companionship and dignity, when he could no longer be independent. Parastas (Prayers) were said Sunday April 2, 2017 at 5 pm at Kearney’s Columbia-Bowell Chapel, 219 Sixth Street, New Westminster. Divine Liturgy for the Repose of the Soul was celebrated Monday April 3, 2017 at 1 pm at Holy Eucharist Ukrainian Catholic Church, 501 Fourth Avenue, New Westminster, BC. Father Andrii Chornenkyi Celebrant. Interment was at 3 pm at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, 3789 Royal Oak Avenue, Burnaby, BC.
