Daycare spaces bumped District taking classroom back to be used for Mandarin program By Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
Daycare spaces are being lost in the Burnaby school district, but it’s not because of a recent Supreme Court of Canada decision restoring smaller class sizes in B.C. public schools. The Grove Childcare has used a classroom at Forest Grove Elementary School as a daycare space for preschool-aged children for eight years. Last week, parents found out the school is taking the space back. “Realistically, in our area, I don’t know what we’re going to do,” said Steven Miller, a parent with one child who will be affected by the move. News stories originally reported the space was being lost because of a November Supreme Court of Canada decision that is forcing the province to restore maximum class sizes to 2002 levels by next year, which will create a need for more classroom space. But that’s not why the Forest Grove classroom is being lost, according to school district secretary-treasurer Russell Horswill. The school needs the space for its expanding Mandarin program. “Every year you add another grade until eventually it’s K to seven,” he told the NOW. “This is the year that it becomes a K-7 program, so it actually has nothing to do with the class-size and composition requirements. It’s completely predictable and we knew it was going to happen.”

Man charged after double shooting Victims in serious but stable condition By Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
Charges have been laid against a 58-year-old Burnaby man after a double shooting last Thursday. Burnaby RCMP was called to a house on Broadway near Kingsford Avenue at about 6 p.m. after reports of a shooting. Outside the house, police found a 52-year-old man and a 39-year-old woman suffering from gunshot wounds. They were taken to hospital in serious condition, according to police. Police shut down a section of Broadway and searched the area with dogs, but the suspect was later located in another neighbourhood – in the 4400 block of Albert Street
– and arrested without incident sometime after 10 p.m. “Once this suspect had been identified, our officers quickly located him and made the arrest,” Burnaby RCMP Cpl. Daniela Panesar said at a press conference Friday morning. “His actions were obviously of concern to the police, so it was critical for us to find him and arrest him as soon as possible.” Domenic Botticelli has been charged with two counts of aggravated assault and one count of discharging a firearm with intent. Police said Botticelli and the shooting victims are known to each other, but Panesar did not provide information about whether they were related, why the

School district budget rosiest in several years By Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
The Burnaby school district looks to be in good financial shape for next year, according to officials who prepared a $285-million budget passed by the board of education last month. The preliminary 2017/18 budget is the rosiest passed in years, projecting a mere $1.65-million operating shortfall, easily covered by $5.2 million in surpluses expected to be left over by the end of this year. Shortfalls for the last two preliminary budgets before this were both expected to be more than $4 million. “It’s been going in the right direction,” said deputy secretary-treasurer Roy Uyeno, who presented the financial plan to the board at a public meeting. Increased regular school-aged enrolment and “significant increases” in international student revenue have both helped the district’s bottom line, according to Uyeno. The funding to hire 125 extra teachers to bring local classes in line with a recent Supreme Court of Canada decision on class sizes and specialist teacher ratios is
not included in the operating budget since it is being delivered in special purpose funds (the classroom enhancement fund and the priority measures fund). But more than $1 million of the revenues and expenses in the financial plan are related. “There’s an interaction,” secretary-treasurer Russell Horswill told the NOW. The district is setting aside $290,000 for additions to the district office’s human resources and finance departments, for example, and $152,000 for an extra district principal position to help manage the hiring of the new teachers and the reorganization of classes. Other additions in the preliminary budget include more than four full-time equivalent (FTE) reading recovery teachers and three security officers. Until recently, the district contracted out it its after-hours security services, but that hasn’t been working so well, according to Horswill, so the district has decided to hire its own officers. “They weren’t just focused on our buildings,” Horswill said of the contracted services. “They had other clients that Continued on page 8
was gang-related, according to Panesar. The victims, neither of whom are Burnaby residents, are in stable condition, according to police.
The investigation continues. Anyone with information regarding this investigation is asked to call the Burnaby RCMP at 604-294-

City ends 2016 with $188-million surplus By Tereza Verenca
tverenca@burnabynow.com
The City of Burnaby finished 2016 with a $188-million surplus, according to the annual municipal report. That’s $69 million more than staff projected in their 2016 budget. The big chunk of extra change is due to an operating surplus of $15.5 million and another $53.6 million in density bonus money. “We received more revenue than anticipated, mostly building permits,” said Noreen Kassam, the city’s finance director. In 2016, the city handed out $819 million worth of building permits.The year before it was $879 million, the highest in Burnaby’s history. Other contributing factors to the operating surplus were utility, food services and engineering fee revenues and staff vacancies that
couldn’t be filled. Last month, council approved a 2.95 per cent property tax increase for 2017. It covers the cost of collective agreement, contract and inflation increase, and equals $48.39 on the average residential property valued at $1,064,132. Kassam noted that’s in the mid to low range when compared to other Metro Vancouver municipalities. The initial rate was near the five per cent mark after all departmental requests were reviewed, she said. As for using some of the surplus to lower the tax rate, Kassam said most of the money is already accounted for. “It’s not a surplus we can just utilize.They’re restricted funds for particular purposes,” she said, pointing to the density bonus money, where 20 per cent goes to affordable and/or special needs housing and 80 per cent goes to community
amenities such as rec centres and child-care facilities. Kassam added of the $15.5-million operating surplus, $7.2 million went back into the utilities reserve (sewer and water), while the remaining $8.3 million went back into general operations, including injecting $3 million into the snow removal reserve. “We need to put money back into the snow removal reserve because we depleted it,” Kassam said of the harsh winter that swept the Lower Mainland. The city’s accumulated surplus now sits at $3.8 billion; it was $3.6 billion in 2015. Burnaby’s investment portfolio averaged $930 million last year and will provide investment income of more than $43 million to city revenues, a return of 3.6 per cent, according to the report. For 2017, investment income is expected to be around $40 million.

City works to improve safety on Canada Way
Curve warning signs, speed reader board among proposals being brought forward in staff report Tereza Verenca
tverenca@burnabynow.com
Two months after a single-vehicle crash on CanadaWay claimed two lives, the City of Burnaby is looking to implement additional safety measures in the area. According to a report presented to city council Monday, staff want to improve the stretch between Rayside and Haszard streets. The recommended countermeasures include: installing a “curve warning ahead” sign for westbound drivers; putting in a new and improved speed reader board with a flashing white light; installing reflective delineator posts along the centre line of CanadaWay and raised pavement markers along the white dashed lines for the length of the curve; adding reflective markers to
the face of the existing barriers along the north side of the road for improved visibility at night; reinstalling barriers at the northwest corner of the intersection to protect against a crash with the hydro pole; and continuing with RCMP speed enforcement. As for photo radar, the report stated it’s a matter that “will likely require further discussions and political support and consensus at municipal platforms, such as the Union of B.C. Municipalities.” Photo radar was introduced in B.C. in 1996 by the New Democrats but was scrapped when the Liberals came to power in 2001. Staff want to see their recommendations implemented this year.The changes, expected to cost $90,000, would be funded from the
2017 capital budget for traffic control devices.The city will look to ICBC’s road safety improvement program to offset some of the costs. On March 16, a black Subaru sedan travelling westbound at a high speed crashed into a power pole at 5451 CanadaWay, killing a male driver and his female passenger. Since the crash, the Burnaby RCMP has issued 371 traffic violations along CanadaWay, with 236 of them related to speed or the use of electronic devices. There were 20 reported crashes at the Canada Way-Rayside intersection between 2013 and 2015, according to ICBC data. Of those, 11 were property damage-only crashes and nine were more severe or fatal.

Opinion now OUR VIEW
Voters’ hindsight – an interesting view Not surprisingly a poll taken on the weekend in B.C. reveals voters are “ambivalent” about the election result. It’s not surprising for a couple of reasons: Firstly, nobody is sure what the final result of the election is at this point. It will be at least another week before the dust settles and final results are known. And, secondly, no mat-
ter who “wins” it’s pretty much a split decision given the Greens potentially hold the balance of power. What was surprising about the poll was that 18 per cent of the voters were undecided on whether they would vote for the same party if given a second chance. Of course, it’s all speculation on why those voters
might change their vote. It could be that they were lukewarm Liberal supporters who voted Green, or they were Greens who voted NDP as a strategic dump-the-Liberals move. It could just be that they voted without thinking it all through, and after some thought, have come to a different conclusion. Hindsight in elections is like hindsight in every-
thing, pretty useless. What the poll was conclusive about was that NDP supporters were unsatisfied with the results. Compare that to the 49 per cent of British Columbians who said they were very satisfied or somewhat satisfied with the outcome and seven per cent who said they were not sure, and you have, well, again a split province.
What was perhaps most interesting about the poll was that 58 per cent of voters would prefer the Green party to work with the governing party on an issue-by-issue basis. The majority were not in favour of the Greens forming a coalition with the Liberals, and of those in favour of the Greens forming a coalition, 57 per cent said they would approve of
the Greens forming a coalition with the NDP. Will any of these rather lukewarm poll results have an impact on the party leaders’ decisions? Probably not. But we suspect the general voters’ ambivalence could change quickly if any of the party leaders start taking liberties with their voters’ trust.
MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY
Two solitudes revealed in vote
No matter which party forms the next government in this province, the election results show the ruralurban divide that emerged from the 2013 election has become wider and perhaps more entrenched than ever before. As a result, whichever of the two major parties forms government (either through a majority of seats or in some kind of arrangement with the B.C. Green Party) when the final count is determined next week, faces some serious challenges when it comes to crafting all kinds of public policies. The electoral map shows almost the entire province is painted B.C. Liberal red outside of MetroVancouver,Vancouver Island and the coastal region. In MetroVancouver, the dominant colour by far is NDP orange. Two solitudes.Two opposite takes on which party is the top choice to form government. Inside the Metro region, the B.C. Liberals got pasted, losing 10 ridings and four cabinet ministers. Voters turned their backs on the governing party in droves, particularly in the vital political battleground seats in the Burnaby/Tri-Cities/Surrey region. One assumes issues such as bridge tolls, housing and general malaise with a party in power so long came together to blast the Liberals out of those seats. But it was a completely different story in much of the rest of the province.The NDP lost two regional seats and two Island seats – a much more mod-
est loss than the B.C. Liberals, but emblematic of how the NDP is losing ground outside of MetroVancouver – and saw its vote drop in those areas accordingly. The NDP’s election strategy – and it was a good one, much better than in 2013 – was to zero in on MetroVancouver seats and the dominant issues there, and pretty much write off much of the rest of the province. Until the final count is concluded, it’s not clear whether this strategy was good enough to actually win and form government. But if it does form government, how will the NDP reconnect with the vast regions of the province that appear to have turned away from the party? The B.C. Liberals face the same problem, only in reverse. Christy Clark’s hardhat routine only took her so far in the election. If she remains in power, how will her party reconnect with those MetroVancouver voters who deserted her because just talking about creating jobs – and not about building transit, affordable housing and dealing with crowded schools – simply isn’t enough for them. This disconnect between our urban areas and the Interior and the North – and the resulting divide that shuts one major party out of one of those regions – needs addressing. Hopefully the winning party realizes this is an untenable situation and starts shaping policies aimed at closing that divide and not widening it. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Demand for the old-growth wood came from as far away as the U.S. and Japan.

Opinionnow Environmental group’s leaflet raises questions Dear Editor: I am a 13-year resident of Forest Grove, located near the Kinder Morgan terminal. I received a letter and a leaflet in an envelope from the environmental group Force of Nature about five days before the provincial election. I had never heard of this environmental group before receiving this letter. The leaflet outlines all the risks to the community and environment relating to the Trans Mountain Pipeline. However, what grabbed my attention was the accompanying letter which states, in bold print, that “Force of Nature is recommending Katrina Chen of the NDP as the strongest electable candidate in this riding who is likely to act as an advocate for our issue.” What puzzles me is that the letter fails to recognize that the NDP have previously flipflopped on the issue and have received more than $670,000 from the Steelworkers Union, who applauded the deal to have the steel pipeline needed for the Trans Mountain expansion made in Canada. The letter also failed to mention that the Steelworkers are paying the salaries of two staff members that work for the NDP. Finally, I find it odd that the letter refers to lost jobs at the Chevron refinery, which is responsible for degrading air quality, surface water and groundwater – since when do environmental groups back oil refineries? This is especially disconcerting since the first sentence of the letter also states that Force of Nature supports “clean energy alternatives.” I am wondering why Force of Nature
waited until just before the election to make themselves known to the community and also would like to know who is funding this group, although I don’t think it’s hard to guess. Andrei Zawadzki, Burnaby
Looking to the future Dear Editor: To all those who admired my candidacy, you nonetheless knew it would be a close election and it is understandable that you evidently cared most about who runs the province, not about the hindrance of party discipline or any of my other themes. In retrospect, I admit it was a bit naive to think I could have changed the culture of that dynamic. But perhaps with the Greens ending majority governance, the Elias Ishak of the future will have a more sympathetic audience. Interestingly, students also voted in this election. The children at Maywood, where I attended a debate, supported me with 30 per cent of their vote, as much as the Liberals, Greens and Conservatives combined. The generations after ours will change many things, and I love them for that, and I love the child in each and every one of you. I would like to congratulate Anne Kang on her victory. I wish her well. I can read people very quickly, and I can tell you all, in case you haven’t met her, she is an exceptionally good person. I don’t mind losing to her. May peace be upon you all, and may we never let politics blind us from the fact that we are all brothers and sisters under the same skies. Elias Ishak, independent candidate for Burnaby-Deer Lake

City now Plan to triple daycare spaces yet to be fulfilled Continued from page 1 The arrangement around the overflow classroom was an informal one between Forest Grove and the childcare provider and will end next year, Horswill said. For Miller, that will mean a loss of peace of mind. “It has to do with location, to do with environment and the security I have,” he said. “When I drop them off and head to work, my mind’s on work because I know my kids are
in a safe location.” The school board and city council announced a plan during the 2014 municipal election to triple daycare spaces by building facilities on school district land, but that promise has yet to be fulfilled. As for the new class-size and class-composition requirements, the district has enough instructional space to accommodate the required extra classes, according to Horswill.
It just needs to move some portables around. Nine district-owned portables will be moved by September – two each to Sperling and Cascade Heights and one each to Gilpin, Cameron, Brentwood, Buckingham and South Slope. The work will cost an estimated $900,000, according to Horswill, and it could be as late as June before the district finds out whether the province will pay for it.
Custodial time under review
Continued from page 3 they needed to respond to, so ours will be specific to our schools.They’ll be able to do some of the walkarounds at schools in the morning to make sure everything’s fine before kids show up,” he said. The district is also setting aside $650,000 in the preliminary budget under the
heading “custodial review.” That money could potentially be used to add more custodial staff, Horswill said, according to the recommendations in a review of the district’s custodial services completed by an external consultant recently. That review, along with district staff recommendations, will come back to
the board at the last board meeting in June, Horswill said. Overall, once the district dips into its accumulated surplus, it expects to have a nearly $2.3 million left over by the end of June 2018. “We’re in a very good, healthy financial position,” Horswill said.

Bears spotted in Burnaby residential areas Cayley Dobie
cdobie@burnabynow.com
A sure sign spring has finally hit the Lower Mainland is the growing number of bear sightings – especially in Burnaby. With its ample forested area, Burnaby can be an inviting place for bears, but every so often a bear wanders into a residential area.
This is the sight NOW reader Thomas captured on Saturday. (Thomas did not provide his last name.) Thomas spotted a black bear wandering down the back lane behind his house, which is located in the Westridge area of North Burnaby. “They are roaming,” he wrote in an email. Thomas isn’t the only
one in the city to have a bear encounter recently. On the morning of May 4, there was a sighting near the Avalon Avenue entrance to Burnaby Lake, according to B.C. Conservation Foundation’s Wildlife Alert Reporting Program. On Burnaby Mountain, meanwhile, there were six bear sightings between May 3 and 10.
On May 15, someone reported seeing a bear in an alley between Paulus Crescent and Buchanan Street, east of Sherlock Avenue. South of Highway 1, there have been more than a dozen reports of bear sightings in the Deer Lake Park area, according to the Wildlife Alert Reporting Program. In all cases, the sight-
ings have been of black bears. (The black bear is the smallest of the three bears found in North America.) In some cases, they appeared to be “food conditioned” and were attracted by unsecured garbage. Garbage is the number 1 attractant of bears, according to the B.C. Conservation Foundation. To read more about the
recent bear sightings in Burnaby, check out the Wildlife Alert Reporting Program website at wildsafe bc.com/warp. Search Burnaby in the panel on the right-hand side. To report problem wildlife or bears in an urban setting contact the B.C. Conservation Officer Service by phone at 1-877-952-7277.
Tips to keep the bears away: ! Keep garbage inside or secured until collection day. ! Manage fruit trees:
Don’t let windfalls accumulate and pick fruit as it ripens. If you don’t want the fruit, consider: accessing a fruit gleaning group in your community, washing the blossoms off in the spring so the fruit doesn’t set, or replacing the tree with a non-fruit-bearing variety.
Bear season: A black bear was spotted in a lane in the Westridge area, and Thomas, a NOW reader, sent in a photo. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED
! Don’t put bird feeders
out when bears are active. A kilo of bird seed has approximately 8,000 calories and is a great reward for a hungry bear.
! Keep compost working properly with lots of brown materials and a regular schedule of turning. ! Use a properly in-
stalled and maintained electric fence to keep bears and livestock apart. – B.C. Conservation Foundation

City now National Energy Board launches new online tracking tool Tereza Verenca
tverenca@burnabynow.com
The National Energy Board (NEB) has launched a new online tool that allows users to track the 157 conditions it has imposed on Kinder Morgan. The mandatory conditions must be met before the company can proceed with its $7.4-billion Edmonton-to-Burnaby pipeline. “From early feedback, it seems to be a very handy tool, and other projects may use it going forward,” said NEB spokesperson James Stevenson in an email to the NOW. “We’re using the same software in our pipeline profiles page that was released last month, which enables Canadians to see what is moving through the larger pipelines in our country and to learn more about the major NEB-regulated systems.”
But Kennedy Stewart, MP for Burnaby South and a longtime opponent of the pipeline, called the new tool “a joke.” Last month, Stewart and Mayor Derek Corrigan complained residents were having trouble filing their statements of opposition, and pointed to an outdated and confusing NEB website. “We know from the thousands of people from Burnaby who tried to get in ... The website crashed often; it was almost impossible to navigate, and only now are they looking at doing improvements,” said the MP. “That’s going to be a little bit of sand in the eye for the people in Burnaby seeing the NEB is doing these improvements only after all the important decisions have been made.” A report released this week, written by a panel of experts appointed by the
prime minister, suggests the NEB should be replaced

Art, Sondheim and jazz in the spotlight Julie MacLellan LIVELY CITY
jmaclellan@burnabynow.com
Art lovers, be sure to stop in to Burnaby Public Library branches to check out two new off-site exhibitions by Burnaby Art Gallery. At the Bob Prittie (Metrotown) branch, you can see Arnold Shives: People, featuring the works of North Vancouver artist Arnold Shives.The exhibition includes 14 prints by Shives, which were part of a large donation of Shives’ printmaking work given to the gallery in 2000. All the prints chosen for the exhibition include human figures. It opened May 15 and runs until July 23 at the library, 6100 Willingdon Ave. Over at the McGill branch in North Burnaby, you can check out works from the city’s collection from the Fourth National Burnaby Print Show – a show mounted by the Burnaby Art Society when the gallery opened to the public 50 years ago as one of Burnaby’s centennial projects. The show included four exhibitions: one of historical Canadian graphics, one of Inuit graphics, one juried exhibition of contemporary Canadian prints, and an “invitational” exhibition offering a selection of work by distinguished Canadian printmakers. Work by 11 of those 16 artists makes up this exhibition – including four of the works that were in fact part of that original 1967 show. It’s on May 16 to July 24 at the McGill library, 4595 Albert St. Check out www.burnaby artgallery.ca for details.

SOUNDS OF SONDHEIM ON ANVIL CENTRE STAGE Musical theatre fans, don’t miss your chance to check out some first-class professional musical theatre that doesn’t involve a trip to Vancouver. Just get yourself over to the Anvil Centre in New Westminster for Patrick Street Productions’ A Little Night Music.The Sondheim classic is onstage until May 21, brought to life by the theatre company that was formed in Burnaby a decade ago and that has since acquired a reputation for producing high-quality productions of lesser-known musicals. I was fortunate enough to see A Little Night Music on opening night this past Saturday, and I can assure all theatregoers that it’s well worth the visit. Local performer Rose McNeil is a standout in the show as the maid Petra; her gorgeous rendition of The Miller’s Son in the second act was a particular highlight in a show already full of highlights. Everything about the production – from the live sixpiece orchestra to the set pieces, costuming and staging details – is stylish, elegant and sophisticated. But director Peter Jorgensen
and his stellar cast (Warren Kimmel, Katey Wright and Patti Allan among them) have also made sure to retain the warmth, humour and light-heartedness that makes this night smile on everyone. It’s also worth noting that tickets are exceptionally affordable, ranging from $21.50 to $35.50, plus service charges.You can buy tickets at www.ticketsnw. ca or see more info at www. patrickstreetproductions. com. JAZZ SOUNDS IN THE SPOTLIGHT AT CHOIR FUNDRAISER A Burnaby singer is featured in an upcoming fundraiser for the Vancouver Chamber Choir. The choir is hosting its 10th Divertimento, a festive fundraising dinner at La Piazza Dario Ristorante that raises money to support the choir’s community outreach and education program. It includes food, silent auction and, of course, music – with jazz performances by local singer Steve Maddock, along with guitarist Bill Coon. It’s on Wednesday, May 24, with reception at 6:30 p.m. and dinner and music at 7:30 p.m. Tables of six or eight are

Burnaby Board of Trade calls for more women in BC’s boardrooms By Cory Redekop cory@bbot.ca
MAY–JUNE 2017
More women in BC’s boardrooms will be good for the bottom line—that’s the case the Burnaby Board of Trade (BBOT) is making in a new policy it released today to encourage more women to serve on corporate boards. The BBOT is calling for BC to take several steps to encourage greater gender diversity including: implementing gender diversity disclosure rules, requiring companies actively consider women for vacant board positions, and setting provincial gender diversity goals for BC’s business community to strive towards. “The predominance of research on this issue shows that companies which have more female board directors and executives simply perform better,” argues BBOT President & CEO Paul Holden. “Greater gender diversity has been linked to everything from better Con’t on p.3

What kind of benefits provider slashes benefits for its own employees? Pacific Blue Cross. During recent bargaining with CUPE 1816 — representing more than 600 workers who handle the dental, life and disability coverage case files for more than 2 million British Columbians — PBC went after the workers’ retiree benefits, extended health plan, and other benefits. What message does that send to the people insured by PBC? That substandard benefits are okay?

Women in boardrooms con’t from cover returns on equity to higher stock prices, to overall better financial performance. The case for supporting women in business overall is clear, but particularly for encouraging more women to serve on boards.” However, Canada continues to lag the rest of the developed world in terms of gender diversity in corporate boardrooms. Some reviews have found as many as 45% of Canada’s publicly-traded companies have no women on their boards and overall representation of women on boards is
Eco-Hero Profiles By Tessa Vanderkop tessa@bbot.ca
as low as 12%. In BC, 50% of the largest publicly-traded companies either have no female directors at all or refuse to reveal that information. That is why the BBOT made engaging and supporting women in business a key focus of the organization’s past year with the launch of its new Women’s Business Success Network. This member-driven group develops events specifically tailored to women and researches policy positions to support women business.
The BBOT’s policy calls for implementing “comply-or-explain” regulations which disclose corporate gender diversity policies— or the lack thereof. It also calls for new requirements that at least one woman be fully considered and interviewed for all board vacancies. “Mandating that companies actively consider women for board vacancies will encourage them to broaden their search, get creative in their recruitment efforts, and go beyond their traditional— often male-dominated—networks to find
candidates,” added Holden. Both of these requirements would apply only to publiclytraded companies, while the policy’s call for a provincial gender diversity goal would create a target for all businesses and organizations in BC to work towards. The BBOT will be presenting this policy to the provincial government and seeking support from the 125 other Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce in the province at the BC Chamber of Commerce AGM later this month. ¾

program runs from October to May each year. Applications for 2017/2018 are open, To find out more visit accessprogram.ca or contact Tessa Vanderkop tessa@bbot.ca ¾
By Tessa Vanderkop tessa@bbot.ca On April 27, students of the Burnaby Board of Trade’s Access Program participated in a case competition with Electronic Arts Canada. The competition was planned by a student led committee chaired by graduate and program alumnus Jeff Sung. “The case competition is an unique opportunity that can provide a valuable piece to participants’ resumes while improving their analytic and presentation skills, two deeply sought after skills in today’s business environment.”
The case competition tasked participants with helping Electronic Arts create a less cumbersome process to determine head count forecasting to better facilitate space planning. Three teams presented their ideas and solutions to a panel of judges.

Reclaimed wood adds instant appeal Repurposing salvaged wood is a popular trend in the home improvement industry. Not only can using salvaged wood give a home a one-ofa-kind look, but it’s a handy way to incorporate the three Rs of green living into your lifestyle: reduce, reuse and recycle. Reclaimed wood adds warmth and historical interest to a home’s decor that newer materials may lack. Although finding wood that can be salvaged takes time and some legwork, such efforts can quickly pay off. Many businesses are now devoted to reclaimed timber, which can help make the process of finding and using salvaged wood even easier. Homeowners considering reclaimed wood may be interested to learn that such wood can serve various functions aside from
benefitting the planet. • Match old-growth wood. New regulations may prevent certain species of trees from being cut down. That means it can be challenging to match old wood in a home, particularly if you’re looking to maintain historical value and authenticity. Relying on salvaged wood items can alleviate this concern, ensuring that you can find rare woods that are no longer available brand new. • Salvaged wood has character. It’s difficult to mimic the natural age marks and character that older wood may have. Instead of being raised on farms, wood harvested decades ago probably grew in natural environments, making the wood both durable and strong. The color and grain of salvaged wood may also be unique.
• Look at objects in a new way. Doors are versatile pieces of reclaimed lumber because they’re already flat and rather large. Doors can be turned into headboards, tables or benches.Wood shutters can dress up walls and provide a place to hang artwork and other wall items.
N
SO P O T EED
• Reclaimed wood can be found everywhere. Most people do not have to look too far to find wood they can salvage. Check salvage yards, landfills, dumpsters in front of older homes being renovated, or older, unused barns in rural settings. While some reclaimed wood can be used as-is, some pieces may require millwork, including sanding, cutting, shaping, and finishing. If you do not have these skills, you probably will have to hire someone who does. - Metro Creative

PLANT SALE
Converting garages into livable spaces Many people decide to upgrade from their apartments or condominiums out of a need for more space. But even after moving into a new home, homeowners may soon begin to outgrow the room they have. Rather than looking for a new home, some homeowners consider expansion. Expanding a living space can be expensive, and a more affordable option may be converting existing basement or garage space into something more livable. Garages already are built on a foundation, have four walls and a roof overhead, so a garageconversion project is merely a matter of turning this utilitarian area into a living space. Before beginning the renovation, homeowners should consider the benefits versus the cost of converting the garage. For those who are planning to grow old in a house, a garage conversion can be a worthy investment. But those who intend to sell their homes rather than retire in them may learn that a converted garage can affect home value and make it less desirable at resale. Compare your home to others in the area and see what your neighbors have done. If converted garages are the norm where you live, your own renovation may fit in with others.
laws to see if a garage conversion is acceptable in your town or city. It’s best to go by the book so that work can be done in a proper manner and be inspected for safety. Many homeowners hope their garage-conversion projects will make their garages seem like a seamless part of the rest of the house. To do so, you will need to remove evidence the space was once a garage. Slab floor will need to be raised and insulated.Walls also will need to be insulated and finished to improve comfort and soundproofing. Many garages do not have windows, so for the garage to function as a renovated space, windows may need to be added. One of the biggest transformations will come by way of modifying the garage door entry. Some homeowners prefer to leave the existing door so that the home still has the appearance of a garage from
the curb, while others remove the garage door and rebuild the exterior wall so that it has a window or another architectural element. An architect can help suggest design elements that will camouflage the original garage look and make the space seem like it was always part of the main living area of the home. Landscaping work also can minimize the appearance of an old garage. Rather than having the driveway end at the wall of a home, shrubbery, pavers and other techniques can blend the garage renovation into the rest of the yard design.

SUMMER CAMPS & ACTIVITIES
SUMMER CAMP CORRESPONDENCE
Summer camp is an exciting way for children to spend their extended vacations from the classroom. Camps cater to various interests, including sports, crafts and even technological hobbies. Children who attend overnight camps may spend several nights away from home. Some kids take this in stride, while others, possibly away from home for the first time, may experience some homesickness. Staying in touch while the kids are at camp can help alleviate fears and show children their parents care. Camps now handle communication issues differently than they might have when today’s parents were campers. While it once common for campers to send handwritten letters or short missives home to mom and dad, technology has changed that. Today’s campers may have access to email accounts, or they even may be allowed to bring mobile phones along. This can facilitate communication, but it also may take away from the camping experience. Parents need to find a balance between what might be too little or too much contact with
campers. After all, camp is kids’ chance to grow independent for a few doing just fine. Figure out which tech options are available from camp days or weeks. administrators.
• Learn camp rules. The camp will likely provide information regarding correspondence. Camps may permit parents to send one-way emails and regular mail, but limit campers to handwritten letters only. Determine if mobile phones are allowed or should be left at home. Knowing the rules can help parents and kids plan accordingly.
• Send a care package. Treat the campers to some supplies from home. Pack camp-approved snacks and other reminders of home. Be sure to include enough for the entire cabin and your son or daughter will be the camp star.
• Expect some silence. If camp is going well and campers’ days are fun-filled, they may be too busy for daily correspondence. Parents may get nervous when they don’t routinely see or hear from their children, but chances are everything is going swimmingly. The camp experience is often harder on parents than children, as campers have their friends • Check blogs and texts. Some camps may blog about campers’ and activities to keep them busy. Brief communication helps campers progress, post information on social media or send out mass texts. grow more confident and independent. These messages can reassure parents that their youngsters are - Metro Creative • Pack correspondence supplies. Send kids to camp with fun papers, stickers, pens, and other crafty items. This way they’ll be inspired to write home once or twice. Provide brief lessons on how to address an envelope for campers who may not know how.

Tamura, McLeod honoured Burnaby club reaps rewards of successful skating season Dan Olson
dolson@burnabynow.com
For members of the Burnabybased Champs International Skating Centre of B.C., last week’s Skate Canada BC/YK Section 2017 Awards, held at the Delta Burnaby Hotel and Conference Centre, was an affirmation. All the hard work put in and the results recorded during the 2016/17 figure skating season were on people’s radar. Senior ladies’ Sarah Tamura and ice dancers Miku Makita and Tyler Gunara were recognized for outstanding efforts during the past skating season, while Champs’ head coach Joanne McLeod picked up the Skate Canada competitive coach award of excellence. Tamura, 16, who made the jump to senior on the national circuit while competing internationally as a junior, was happy to receive the Skate Canada Competitive Skate Athlete Award. “It’s a real great feeling,” said Tamura, who attends Burnaby Central Secondary. “When you get an award and people around you get awards, you get to share it – it’s acknowledging that you didn’t get here by yourself.” At the nationals in January, she made a great first impression as a senior by placing sixth overall, with the fourth-best score in the short program and a personal best 60.09 score. It was a personal highlight and season goal wrapped together. “I think all skaters can relate to this, but I don’t like to watch my programs,” she said. “But (the short skate) is one I keep watching over and over again.” Tamura received a late invitation from Skate Canada to compete at the Bavarian Open in February and ventured to Germany without a lot of expectations.The result, however, was exactly what Canadian officials had hoped, as the Burnaby teen nailed it and finished first overall in her division. A few weeks later at the ISU world junior championships in Taipei, the results were not what she had hoped. Finishing 17th overall gave her pause on needing to catch her breath in what had been a whirlwind winter. “To compete against the best in the world, you can’t make any mistakes in your program,” she said. “(The Bavarian Open) came as a surprise, and Skate Canada Continued on page 32

Lakers ride late wave to topple Islanders
A big third period turned a tough situation into a tremendous win for the Burnaby junior Lakers on Monday. By beating the Delta Islanders 13-11 Monday, the Lakers picked up their second win of the season and ended a four-game losing streak. Brady Barrett and Dylan Kaminski counted three goals apiece as Burnaby erased a four-goal deficit, winning with a late push.
Kaminski’s hat trick was capped with one-minute left, lifting the Lakers to a 12-11 lead. Barrett completed the turnaround with just a second left in the contest. Prior to that, the game had its pendulum moments but looked like a sure road win for the visiting Islanders. While the first period was a seesaw battle where teams traded goals, Delta owned the middle frame, outscoring Burnaby 4-1 to
grab a four-goal advantage with 20 minutes to play. In the third, the Lakers made their move and closed to within a goal on Damon Prince’s tally midway through the period.With three minutes left, Burnaby took the lead on back-to-back markers from Josh Dumont and Pearson Willis, but the Islanders replied to make it 11-11 with 1:55 remaining. That’s when Kaminski clinched
it, on assists from Mason Pomeroy and Aidan Baker, followed by Barrett’s final of the night. Netminder Elijah UemaMartin kicked out 39 shots to backstop the victory, as Burnaby was out-shot 50-43 by Delta. It came on the heels of an 11-5 loss to Langley earlier in the week, with Dumont and Pearson notching two goals each. Burnaby pays a visit tonight (Wednesday) to undefeated Coquitlam.
Penalty kick delivers first point for TSS Rovers For a brand new pro soccer franchise, the TSS Rovers have already experienced more than their share of growing pains in just a handful of weeks. In just their third game of the season, the first-year Rovers look to have absorbed some important lessons and turned them into something positive in the form of a well-played 2-2 draw with Lane United on Friday at Swangard Stadium. The tie was the club’s first point of the un-
der-23 USL-Premier Development League season and came against an experienced Eugene, Ore.-based Lane United squad. TSS displayed some nifty skills when they erased a 1-0 deficit on KristianYli-Hietanen’s second goal of the season, thanks to a brilliant set-up from defender Zach Verhoven. In the second half, Mamadi Camara counted his second goal of the year off a penalty kick. “We were in the lead with 12 minutes to go but we gave up the equalizer,” remarked assis-
tant coach Will Cormack. “From that point we held on.” The team’s record fell to 0-2-1 and minustwo in points, with the club slapped with a three-point penalty due to using an ineligible player in the opening loss to Calgary. The PDL is three levels below MLS soccer. The Rovers played Tuesday in Portland against the Timbers u23, and return to host Calgary Foothills on Friday, 7 p.m. at Swangard Stadium.

SFU shy of NCAA green It was close but no cigar for Simon Fraser University golfers at last week’s regional competitions. In Texas, the SFU women’s team witnessed Coquitlam native Jaya Rampuri miss a berth to the NCAA championships by a single shot, finishing the Div. 2 West Super Regional among the top 12 golfers at the Wichita Falls Country Club. With the top-three individuals outside of the qualifying teams advancing, Rampuri’s three-round score of 227 fell one shot
shy of a berth. Rampuri and teammate Emily Leung were inside the top 10 entering the final nine holes, but three tough holes were enough to knock them out of contention. Tied for seventh overall, the wheels began to fall off when Rampuri shot a double-bogey, finishing the day at 2-over par 74. It left her 12th overall after beginning the three-day tourney with rounds of 80 and 73. Leung, meanwhile, racked up three straight bogeys to fall to 16th overall. On the men’s side, SFU
junior Chris Crisologo finish tied for 11th place at the Brookside Country Club in Stockton, Calif., at the NCAA Div. 2 West/South Central Super Regionals. He missed a spot at the national championships by five strokes. Crisologo, voted the Great Northwest Athletic Conference’s golfer of the year, closed out the tourney with a 2-under par 70, shooting four birdies on the back nine. He was the program’s lone representative, having qualified as an individual.
Tamura aiming for Olympics
Continued from page 31 wanted its best junior skaters to compete… I got myself ready but was in the process of adjusting to new skates and I think I was a bit tired from the whole season and back-toback competitions.” Now she will take a break from skating – a whole week – before getting back to training at McLeod’s centre. “(McLeod) has really worked hard with me and it’s so great to be able to share those moments with her. She has helped me so
much on achieving our goals together. “My ultimate goal is to make the Olympic team (for 2018). I definitely want to show I deserve it.” Makita and Gunara received the Ice DanceYouth Promise Award, after having established a new pre-novice record at the Skate Canada Challenge in December with a final score of 78.92. Makita, a 13-year-old from Coquitlam, and Gunara, 14, also won the provincial ice dancing title.

KUCHERAN, Beverley Marilyn
September 15, 1943 - May 10, 2017 KOUWENHOVEN, Dirk A. May 21, 1942 − April 25, 2017 It is with love and deep sadness we say farewell to Dirk A. Kouwenhoven (Dick), who was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather, and a cherished friend and mentor to many. Hailing from the historic city of Delft in the Netherlands, Dick was the ninth child in a vibrant family of 12. Born during World War II in German−occupied Holland, Dick often recalled the joyful celebrations in the streets of Delft following the liberation on May 5, 1945. Dick’s father, a second−generation carpenter, maintained a busy workshop at the back of the family home, which was an endless source of fascination for Dick and his siblings. The hand−crafted wooden windows and doors his father produced would inspire Dick’s pursuit in another craft, as a type compositor and printer. Working as an apprentice at a local print shop while attending technical school in nearby Rotterdam, Dick began a long and successful career in the printing industry. At the urging of his younger brother John, the two brothers decided to immigrate to Canada in January of 1965, joining their older siblings Simon, Frank and Bill. Dick and John traveled by train from Montreal to Vancouver seeing for the first time the scale and beauty of their new country and the adventure and opportunity it offered. In Vancouver, Dick found employment as a typesetter at a local printing company and six months later, he found himself handling production at a small two−person print shop called Hemlock Printers.
With broken hearts we sadly announce the passing of our beloved Mother, Grandmother, Greatgrandmother, Wife, Sister and Friend. She will be lovingly remembered by her husband Max, of 57 years with whom she shared a love like no other. Her two sons, Brian (Vicki), Darren (Cathy), her two daughters, Sherry (Joe), Sandy (Lorne), 12 grandchildren and one great-grandson.

In early 1966, Dick met the love of his life, Klaaske (Clara), who was visiting her older sister and brother, also Dutch immigrants to Canada. They married in December of 1967, with daughter Vanessa born in 1969 and son Richard born in 1972. Dick’s near 50−year career at the helm of Hemlock Printers officially began in the summer of 1968 after he purchased and incorporated the company. In the early 1970’s, Dick was joined by brother and business partner John, followed by brothers Bill and Frits who, along with other dedicated staff, laid the foundation for a thriving and continually evolving printing business. Dick had a dedication to quality, to ’doing things right’ with pride and care, and to respect and support everyone he worked with. He navigated Hemlock through generations of technological change and turbulent economic times, while always looking ahead and maintaining his principles of respect and integrity. The successful business, which thrives to this day, is a testament to Dick’s passion for his craft and for the inspirational leadership he provided to the entire Hemlock ’family’. Over his decades in business, countless relationships were formed with clients, suppliers, industry peers and non−profit and community organizations, all of whom experienced Dick’s perpetual optimism, creativity, intellect and his wonderful sense of humour. Dick’s adventurous spirit led to many family vacations with Clara and the kids, which are the source of many fond memories, stories and laughter. He was an avid sailor spending weekends and holidays exploring the San Juan and Gulf Islands on the family boat, the Delft Blue. In the 80’s and 90’s, Dick’s sailing adventures also took him to Hawaii on three occasions, once as lead (and winning) navigator. We lost him too soon but take comfort in the knowledge that he lived a full, active and accomplished life, which affected so many in a positive way. To his family and friends, Dick was always a loving and caring spirit who will live forever in our hearts. He is survived and will be greatly missed by his loving wife of 49 years, Clara (nee Boonstra), daughter Vanessa (Mike), son Richard (Pippa), his four grandchildren Genevieve, Jonathan, Georgina and Naomi, his surviving siblings Andries (Dingena), Joke, Frank (Shirley), Bill (Sieny), Henk (Jannie) and Frits (Darlene), and his many nieces and nephews. A Celebration of Dick’s Life, open to his family, friends and colleagues will take place on Saturday, May 27th from 2:00PM−4:30PM at the Vancouver Convention Centre (West Building). If you wish to attend, please RSVP by emailing celebrationoflife@hemlock.com. In lieu of flowers, donations are welcome to the BC Cancer Foundation.

NEPSTAD, Donna Joy
August 1, 1960 - May 12, 2017 Donna lost her battle with gastric cancer May 12th at 9:15 pm. A more sweet, gentle, smart person you will not find. The world is a lesser place without her. She leaves behind her husband Murray, her mother Jocelyn, her brother Jim and his wife Madeleine, and her sweet dog Copper. Those of us who knew her will all be a little lost without her great advice and her kindness, her astute observations and her sense of fun. Her love of a nice glass of red wine, of knitting, of spinning fibre, of making jewellery, of home renos, of gardening and canning. A celebration of life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 23, 2017 at Bell and Burnaby Funeral Chapel, 4276 Hastings Street, Burnaby. In lieu of flowers please donate to the Canadian Cancer Society in Donna’s name. Condolences may be offered to the family at www.bellburnabay.com
