TRANS MOUNTAIN EXPANSION

Kinder Morgan powers on with pipeline Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

While B.C.’s New Democrats have vowed to “use every tool in the tool box” to stop the Kinder Morgan pipeline, the company is forging ahead with construction next month.

“We continue to move forward with all aspects of

the Trans Mountain Expansion project and are advancing our permitting processes in line with our construction schedule,” said Lizette Parsons Bell, the lead of stakeholder engagement and communications for the Trans Mountain Expansion project, in an emailed statement to the NOW. “We have initiated our

first pipe order and are finalizing our contracts with our general contractors, which we expect to have in place by the end of August. Construction activity will begin in September with completion of the expansion on schedule for the end of 2019.”

The twinned pipeline will transport raw bitumen from

outside of Edmonton to Burnaby. Capacity will triple to 890,000 barrels of oil per day and tanker traffic in the Burrard Inlet is expected to increase sevenfold.

The project received federal approval in 2016 and the former ruling B.C. Liberals OK’d it earlier this year. However, Premier John Horgan and B.C.

Green Party leader Andrew Weaver are opposed to the expansion and have said they’ll work to stop it.What that looks like, however, is unknown at this time.The project is also plagued by numerous lawsuits filed by First Nations groups, who argue they weren’t properly consulted.

Construction in the Low-

er Mainland includes approximately 35 kilometres of pipeline, the expansion of the Burnaby Terminal and Westridge Marine Terminal, and a new tunnel through Burnaby Mountain connecting these facilities.

Citynow BARNET MARINE PARK

One writer’s love letter to a beach It’s like the cover of an outdoor travel magazine: water so blue it’s almost black, a fringe of evergreens on the opposite shore, a long empty stretch of soft yellow sand.

With the saltwater breeze and the twittering of song birds, it seems like a million miles from the city: you could be on a beach in the Gulf Islands or in some remote coastal outpost.

You could be – but you’re not.

In fact, the shoreline at Barnet Marine Park is a hop, skip and jump from SFU, a 10-minute drive to Burnaby Heights and – at Christina most – a half hour to Myers downtown Vancouver.

From points east, it’s an easy connection off Highway 1, Lougheed or Barnet Highway.

In other words: it’s smack-dab in the middle of everything.

But it sure doesn’t feel like it.

It’s this sense of isolation that surprised me most the first time I stumbled upon Barnet, and which has drawn me back over and over, ever since.

On an average weekday morning, a visitor here might encounter a few solitary fishermen and a handful of local residents out for a walk, but on many days I’ve been the only person in sight. How often does that happen in a region with about two-and-a-half million residents?

The park gets busy – as any park will – on weekends and holidays, full of church groups and big family gatherings, but even then it’s no Spanish Banks or Kits Beach with wall-to-wall bodies.

In summer, parents like me pack up sandwiches and picnic blankets, and herd restless children down to the beach knowing the sand and water will keep them occupied for several hours and the fresh air will tucker them out for later. It works every single time.

My crew of two – now seven and 10 – beg to go to the “wavey beach,” a reference to the occasional rolling waves that come barreling in with enough strength to nearly knock them over in the wake of passing boats.When the water traffic quiets, so do the waves.

Perhaps it shouldn’t be surprising this place evokes the feeling of some quiet cottage-country beach from a bygone era – it has its roots in the very early days of settlement in the area.

Ideally situated on the Burrard Inlet, the area was home to a logging camp that became a booming mill town. Dozens of families

My

called the area home. Decades later, the city set aside the area for park development.

Some of the original concrete structures from the logging facilities are still visible in the park and a plaque to commemorate the history of the site was installed many years ago.

Even getting into the park feels like stepping out of the hustle and bustle: from the upper parking lot, a foot bridge crosses high over train tracks, followed by a spiral path circling downward into the greenery.The air gets cooler as you descend, the noise of traffic on Barnet Highway becomes muted.

By the time you’ve walked to the shore, the only noise is the occasional motor of a passing boat, the chatter of squirrels and birds, and – from time to time – the whistle and roar of a train coming through.

A second parking lot provides additional space for cars, and a driving loop at park level has space for brief stops to allow people to unload gear they’d rather not carry from the lots higher up.

The site also features two large washroom facilities, a large picnic area, outdoor showers for swimmers, and a caretaker hut.

There’s no lifeguard but there’s a roped-off swimming area and, depending on the tide, the water is a good depth for kids – so long as a parent is nearby, particularly when those waves roll in.

We’ve found starfish and jellyfish, and I’m sure I’ve seen a seal or two out in the inlet, noses poking up above the waterline.

There’s room for sand castles and digging for imaginary buried treasure and laying out on towels with a good book. And when the kids are back in school, it’s one of my favourite places to walk, and think, and be humbled by the view – as I am each and every time I visit.

Barnet Marine Park is the sort of secret I want to tell everyone about – because I’m surprised how few people know of its existence – and simultaneously want to keep to myself.

If I keep talking about how great it is – how relaxing and peaceful, how free from crowds during much of the week – then perhaps the things I love best about it will slowly disappear.

But it’s a risk worth taking: the best secrets are the ones that give others as much joy as they give you.

City now Air quality still poor in Burnaby Smoke from wildfires burning in the B.C. Interior will continue to affect Lower Mainland air quality until a change in the weather, according to Metro Vancouver.

The regional district is continuing an air quality advisory for Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley this week because of high concentrations of fine particulate matter.

“Air quality continues to be affected by the current weather pattern over the B.C. Coast, which has caused outflow winds to transport smoke from wildfires burning in the B.C. Interior into our region,” states the advisory.

The recent haze, which

carries tiny solid or liquid particles that can aggravate existing lung and heart diseases and increase the risk of cancer, is expected to stick around until this weekend when the weather is forecast to change, bringing lower temperatures and a chance of rain.

Until then, Metro Vancouver is warning people with chronic medical conditions to postpone strenuous exercise, especially during the mid-afternoon and early evening.

The smoke is a particular concern for infants, the elderly and those with diabetes, and lung or heart disease. For more information, visit airmap.ca.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Time to quit playing politics over LNG Despite having federal and provincial approvals in place, Petronas announced recently that it is scrubbing plans to build an $11-billion Pacific Northwest liquefied natural gas plant.

No doubt this comes as a big blow to anyone looking forward to the literally trillions of dollars the previous B.C. Liberal government promised us would flow through our economy in the

LNG bonanza.

But that was in 2014 when the price of LNG was more than four times the price it is today.

Supporters of LNG have been gleefully suggesting the newly minted NDP government must wear this, saying their pre-election rhetoric scared off the big-time investment.

We missed the part where the new minority govern-

The market remains the biggest factor in these investment decisions – not politics. ment passed legislation forcing other countries to beat us to the punch, establishing a glut on the market and lowering the commodity price.

There’s no question Petronas could have expected much more favourable terms on everything from taxation to environmental regulation under Christy

Clark’s government, but experts outside the B.C. Liberal caucus have been pointing out for years that the economics of these expensive LNG plants and export facilities don’t make sense.

The Petronas announcement was actually just the latest in a string of similar announcements from LNG companies that they will hold off on big projects.

The decision didn’t happen

overnight.

So far,Woodfibre LNG is among a very few projects said to be moving forward, and it has the advantage of selling its gas to subsidiaries in Asia.

The market remains the biggest factor in these investment decisions – not politics.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

How long can this bromance last?

The resiliency and strength of the pact between the NDP and the B.C. Green Party that allows the New Democrats to hold power will likely be tested this fall, and it won’t be over political fundraising.

While Green party leader Andrew Weaver was pretty much “teed off” over the recent revelation that Premier John Horgan will hold a $500-a-head “cash for access” event (in this case, a golf tournament) later this month, their personal relationship remains strong. At least, that’s what Weaver tells me. He insists all is well between his party and the ruling NDP, and the dust-up over the golf event aside, there is little reason to think otherwise.

But two critical issues are coming into view, and I suspect the Greens aren’t going to like where those issues appear to be headed.

The NDP government has sent the first issue – the Site C dam – to the B.C. Utilities Commission for review, but with terms of reference that greatly restrict what the commission can come back with in terms of recommendations.

The commission has been instructed to provide “advice” on three options for the dam: proceed, suspend construction, or terminate the project entirely, with full remediation of the site. In coming to any conclusions to provide that advice, however, the commission must be guided by a number of principles and rules, not the least of which is that it must stick to the economics of the

dam (which takes any concerns about the environment, First Nations’ rights or agricultural impact off the table).

As well, the commission must use B.C. Hydro’s most recent electrical load forecast as the basis for its advice.The terms of reference clearly state that “grid reliability” is a key objective in weighing the importance of any energy project, and about the only reliable form of energy in this province is hydro-electric power. Add it all up and it looks like the deck is clearly stacked for the commission to advise the dam should be completed.

Then we come to the second issue that may strain the NDP/Green relationship: the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion.

Officially, the NDP oppose the pipeline, but the government’s language has noticeably softened, and Attorney-General David Eby says a legal analysis concludes the government cannot legally stop or delay the many permits the pipeline will require, thus removing what many thought was the government’s only weapon from its arsenal.

Horgan says he’s still studying options, but it’s far from clear that he has any more to stop the pipeline. And so Weaver may find himself propping up a government that could fail him on two key Green priorities. If so, we’ll see if the bromance between him and the premier remains as strong as it appears to be today.

Opinionnow Tone down the misandry and act like a grownup Dear Editor: Re: Here’s why we’ll miss Christy Clark, Our View, Burnaby NOW, Aug. 2.

What a racist and misandrist opinion you have printed! For a community paper you sure like to attack and divide it! Can we tone down the hate speech and have a civil opinion?

You lost your own credibility when you started attacking a specific group. As per usual, you also miss the point of what equality means or what it is that makes reflects a Equality is when and democracy. one is not judged Equality is one is on their sex … when not judged on their sex but on their action and worth as an individual. For that matter, it should make no difference what their skin colour is either! As soon as you start attaching ethnicity or gender you have failed to achieve the goals of equality or diversity – and your juvenile and ill-informed “view.”

If you wish to perpetuate hate and incite a racist and gender-based argument, go back to another century – because honestly you are no better, worse probably, than any other racist or misogynistic organization.

I am a white, middle-aged male, and I do appreciate and understand symbolism – you may

be unable to recognize this because of your apparent racist and blinded “views.” Nevertheless, being middle-aged, not young, although I do not subscribe to your ageist belief system either, I realize politics will attract individuals who are interested in serving their community. Any artificial influence, pushing gender and race as qualifications, defeats what good government is meant to be.

I am not, nor should anyone, be focused on colour or gender when looking at election candidates; you won’t find a good leader that way. Looking at the individual inside, their experience, their education, will better serve us in finding the best people.

I sincerely hope that you are able to reach a maturity level that will make you a better person, but in the meantime, please take a nap and let the adults lead the world. So sad that 12-year-olds are now running the newspaper!

City now Pipeline construction proceeds

Continued from page 1 Mountain has given its website – transmountain.com – a makeover.The company plans to release local construction information as it becomes available.

The City of Burnaby has been a longtime opponent of the project and calls the section of the new pipeline route through Burnaby “extensive and destructive.”

Dipak Dattani, the city’s deputy director of engineering, said the portion of the pipeline running through the city is in a completely new corridor from the existing pipeline, and it will cause a host of problems.

According to a staff report released in April, the Burnaby section will carry infrastructure woes, including the North Road crossing, which is jointly owned

by Burnaby and Coquitlam.

The Kinder Morgan project would “significantly constrain” the ability to repair, maintain or expand the bridge in the future, according to Dattani.

bourhoods is also worrisome, states the report, because they provide visual and noise buffers for residents and businesses in those areas.

Protests erupted on Burnaby Mountain in November 2014 when Kinder Morgan carried out survey work along the Trans Mountain pipeline. More than 100 people were arrested.

Staff Sgt. Maj. John Buis with the Burnaby RCMP told the NOW “we’re prepared for any eventuality” should more protests break out next month.

“We’re always prepared

for these kinds of things,” he said.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING CONSTRUCTION The Burnaby Terminal currently has 13 tanks.

One will be demolished and 14 new tanks will be built.

Crews will start to clear the site on Sept. 5. According to Trans Mountain’s website, the expansion will also include an enhanced storm water treatment system.

The Westridge Marine Terminal expansion will include a new dock complex with three berths and a utility dock. Most of the work will occur from the water

using floating equipment such as marine derricks, barges, tugs and workboats.

There will be some pile driving, too.

Construction hours at Westridge Marine Terminal are planned between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. Monday to Friday and from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday. No work will take place on Sundays and statutory holidays.

Meanwhile, two new 30inch delivery pipelines will be built in a new tunnel running through Burnaby Mountain.

Boring is scheduled to start in 2018.

KINDER MORGAN

Relax, it’s just a drill Folks living near the Trans Mountain Burnaby terminal shouldn’t panic if they hear sirens.

As part of its emergency management program, Kinder Morgan will be doing routine muster alarm drills this month and next.

They’ll take place once a week during regular busi-

ness hours, and the alarm will ring for approximately 15 to 20 minutes per drill.

“The purpose of these drills is to continue practicing our muster processes in the unlikely event of an emergency within our terminal,” reads a notice. “Our goal is to ensure that our facilities continue to oper-

ate safely and reliably while complying with all applicable standards and regulatory requirements, and minimizing any potential impacts on both the public and the environment.”

The drills are not related to the Trans Mountain Expansion project.

Metro Vancouver plans new water tunnel under inlet Metro Vancouver plans to build a new water supply tunnel that will run under Burrard Inlet between North Vancouver and Burnaby.

On the Burnaby side, the tunnel will exit into Montrose Park, just east of Boundary Road.The new tunnel will replace existing water mains nearing the end of their service lives, said a Metro Vancouver press re-

lease.

“It is one of five new water supply crossings across the region being built to higher seismic standards to withstand a major earthquake,” said the release.

The construction will involve building two tunnel shafts and a deep-bored tunnel crossing, three steel water mains in the shafts and tunnels, valve chambers at each staff site, and con-

nections to the existing water distribution systems at the Seymour and Capilano reservoirs.

Metro Vancouver plans to consult with small businesses and residents near the entry and exit shafts before construction is scheduled to begin in 2018.The project is expected to be completed by late 2022.

Will Tsai Occupation MAGICIAN Why is he in the news?

Magician Will Tsai hit the America’s Got Talent stage earlier this year and wowed the judges.

Simon Cowell said his audition was the best magic he’d ever seen on the show.

The 33-year-old, who was born in Taiwan and moved to Burnaby when he was 15, did a trick with cards, coins and rose petals.

“I like flowers because they remind me how beautiful life is, but also very fragile, and that’s why every second counts,” he tells the crowd before starting. “In the grand scheme of things, life happens in the blink of an eye, so for the next few moments, don’t blink.”

That performance has since

What got you into magic?

Times were tough back then.When I was a kid, I saw a street performer and what he did was so impossible. For a moment, I forgot about my problems. I thought if he could do all those impossible things, maybe my situation wasn’t so impossible after all. It became my way of escaping reality. I thought it would be amazing if I could one day be that person and give hope to people. Just like that person did with me. He gave me the courage to try again.

What some may not know is Tsai is already a well-known act around the world. He’s the founder of SansMinds Magic, a magic production company that has provided programs to major TV networks around the globe.

In June, he appeared on the front cover of Vanish, one of the top magazines in his industry.

NOW reporter Tereza Verenca caught up with Tsai to see how life’s been since AGT. At the time of the interview, not surprisingly, he was overseas working in China.

visualist, not a magician or an illusionist.Why is that?

There’s usually tricks behind a magician’s performance. Some of the things I do are just pure visual that I believe doesn’t need a trick to convey the emotion and wonder. In that sense, it’s not a magic performance.

To me, it’s all about the emotion and story I want to express behind the performance. So I came up with the term visualist for those moments when people ask me why they don’t see tricks in my act.

Festival returns to Deer Lake for its 18th year It’s that time of year again.The time when thousands (and we mean thousands) of people descend on Deer Lake Park for the annual Burnaby Blues + Roots Festival.

And this year isn’t expected to be any different.

Celebrating its 18th year, organizers have put together a day of great music featuring headliner Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue preceded by Matt Andersen, Sue Foley, Leeroy Stagger, Jesse Roper, Murray Porter, Little Miss Higgins, Jesse Waldman and Kaya Kurz.

But people don’t just come for the music, they come for the amazing atmosphere.

In addition to the nine acts, organizers are capitalizing on the recent food truck craze – this year there will be 10 food trucks on site.

Plus, of course, the beer garden and the blues market.

For the kids, there is the kids area featuring an arts and crafts table, a jungle gym and, new this year, a fatherdaughter duo providing some kid-friendly entertainment (more on that on page 17).

Last year, between 4,000 and 5,000 people attended the daylong festival, so get your tickets now.

Pack your coolers with a tasty picnic or bring some cash for the food trucks, grab your kids and some lawn chairs and take in some first-class blues and roots. It’s all happening on Saturday, Aug. 12.

For a list what is permitted and what is not, go to page 16.

And you’ll find more info on the artists on pages 18 and 19.

Who says the blues festival is only for adults?

The organizers sure don’t.

For the past 18 years, the folks behind Burnaby Blues + Roots Festival have made it their mission to make the day-long festival as family-friendly as possible so as not to exclude anyone from the fun.

“The Burnaby Blues + Roots Festival has always been a bit of a family event,” said Shadbolt marketing and sponsorship coordinator Jared Bowles.

This includes offering free admission to kids 12 and under and providing an ever-popular family area, where kids can get their faces painted, climb the jungle gym or try their hand at guitar making (cardboard, of course).The family area is open 1 to 7 p.m. (guitar making ends at 6 p.m.) and is run by some really awesome volunteers.

This year, the family area also includes the musical stylings of father-daughter duo Roland and Emma Nipp.

“They’ll be doing a cou-

ple sets, entertaining not only the kids, but the people who are kids at heart,” Bowles said.

He hopes this new addition will just add to the enjoyment of the festival for families.

“It was just (about) trying to find another ameni-

ty to add to that area. Every year, we see more and more families coming, and more and more kids attending as well,” he said.

Kids 12 and under are free with an accompanying adult. Call the box office at 604-205-3000 to arrange complimentary tickets.

TROMBONE SHORTY & ORLEANS AVENUE

MATT ANDERSEN

You could say music is in Troy Andrews’s bones. At the tender age of four, he picked up the trombone and his stage name, Trombone Shorty, was born. Having grown up in New Orleans’s music-rich Tremé district, Andrews became a bandleader at the age of eight, and after he graduated from high school, he joined the Lenny Kravitz band. He went on to record three albums, including the well received 2013 Say That to Say This, and has been busy touring, collaborating with other artists, and expanding his musical mastery since.

Now on tour to promote his Blue Note Record debut album, Parking Lot Symphony, Trombone Shorty is reveling in a celebration of his musical roots that branches into a multitude of sounds, from brass to funk, and from blues to hip hop. Reviewers have described this album as being the most heartfelt offering yet, with the title track about walking through the streets of Tremé and being uplifted by the music. The first track, “Laveau Dirge No. 1”, is named after New Orleans’s most famous voodoo queens, and exemplifies the city’s soul with a dirge, but it’s not all mournful as the following tracks emit a plethora of sounds and emotions all backed up by a solid performance by Andrews.

“It’s a life record,” Andrews says, “about prevailing no matter what type of roadblock is in front of you.” Talking about why it took four years between his last album and this one, he says, “I didn’t realize so much time passed. Some artists don’t work until they put a record out but I never stopped going.” And we’re reaping the rewards of such a strong work ethic.

JESSE ROPER

A powerhouse performer with a giant, soul-filled voice, Matt Andersen has cultivated a career as one of Canada’s most noted blues guitarists and singersongwriters by touring worldwide and winning a devoted following over the years. He’s spent much of his career on the road, sharing the stage with such greats as Bo Diddley, Buddy Guy, Greg Allman, Randy Bachman, America and the Tedeschi Trucks Band.

In 2009 alone, he appeared in over 200 live performances and that year won the East Coast Music Association Award for Male Solo Artist of the Year and Blues Recording of the Year (for “Something In Between”). In 2010, Andersen became the first Canadian in 26 years to win top prize as the duo/individual performer at the Memphis, Tennessee, International Blues Challenge, beating out competition from 11 countries.

Currently on tour promoting his latest album, Honest Man, Andersen explores both the political and personal in what has been described as a watershed album with transcendent musical moments.

The title track was inspired by an American political cartoon and leads you to contemplate how Canada has changed.

MURRAY PORTER

With a live performance that has been described as explosive, Jesse Roper has a fiery energy and charismatic delivery that captivates audiences wherever he plays. He’s earned accolades from and has performed with artists such as Keith Urban, Steve Earle, Booker T, and Colin James. His style of music is reminiscent of Stevie Ray Vaughan and vintage Texas Blues, rooted in blues, soul, rock and country funk.

Murray Porter, with his self-taught style of foot stomping, hand clapping and blues piano, has an instantly recognizable sound that has been described as a mixture of blues, country and humor. Over the last 35 years, this Mohawk artist from Six Nations of the Grand River Territory has brought the stories of the Indigenous Peoples of Canada to the masses along with other more universal themes of love lost and found.

After the release of his sophomore album Red Bird in 2015, Roper has been riding a wave of popularity among the public and industry insiders. He was selected to compete at the 2016 International Blues Challenge in Memphis and was a finalist in the B.C.’s Peak Performance Project. He is currently on tour to promote his latest album, Access to Infinity, recorded at Vancouver’s Warehouse Studio with producer Ian Davenport.

It’s obvious watching Juno Award-winning Porter perform live that he loves the act of performing and does so with unabashed happiness. It’s also easy to see why audiences often get caught up with his emotional displays. His performance of “Is Sorry Enough?” from his Songs Lived & Life Played album at the Aboriginal People’s Choice Music Awards brought down the house. Whether playing in a small intimate bar or festival stages, Porter’s love of performing comes across loud and clear.

SUE FOLEY This fiery guitarist and blueswoman spent her early childhood in Canada, where she developed an infatuation with her father’s guitar. This fascination eventually spurred a life-long career in music that started when she was 16. Sue Foley eventually found herself in Austin, Texas recording at Antone’s, which is the blues label and nightclub that once launched the music of Stevie Ray Vaughan.

Foley is now an award winning musician and respected blues artist, who along the way worked with the genre’s icons such as BB King, Buddy Guy, Lucinda Williams and Tom Petty.

Having toured steadily over the years with her pink paisley Fender Telecaster, she has earned the adulation of fans and currently holds the record for the most number of Maple Blues Awards (17). She cites Billie Holiday, the guitarist Memphis Minnie and T-Bone Walker as her musical and song writing influences.

LITTLE MISS HIGGINS

One of Jolene Higgins’s earliest memories was carving her name on the side of a piano before she began piano lessons. Born in Brooks, Alberta and raised in Independence, Kansas, Higgins returned to Alberta to study theatre and later roamed across Western Canada acting and playing blues guitar on stage. She finally settled in Saskatchewan where the music took hold over acting.

Today, this pocket-sized powerhouse plays a blend of music grounded in old-time country blues, sprinkled with a little jazz and topped with a hint of folk.

Over the past five years, Little Miss Higgins has built a strong national reputation across the country, appearing in clubs and on festival stages in Edmonton, Winnipeg, Montreal, Owen Sound, and Canso, Nova Scotia, often performing with partner Foy Taylor.

LEEROY STAGGER This B.C. native is arguably one of the hardest working musicians on the road. Leeroy Stagger has cultivated a fan base through endless touring both locally and abroad for close to 20 years. He’s now promoting his latest album Love Versus, a blend of roots, rock and pop. Having worked with renowned producers such as Russell Broom and Steve Berlin on his previous ten albums, Stagger has teamed up with producer Colin Stewart and a dream band consisting of Stagger’s long time bassist Tyson Maiko, Pete Thomas (drummer for Elvis Costello), guitarist Paul Rigby, and keyboardist Geoff Hilhorst.

“I feel like I’ve been hitting my stride over the past three records, but this one especially feels like I’ve set a new standard, and everything I do now has to live up to it,” Stagger says. “Something happened over the course of making this record, with all of us being at my house, totally immersed in what we were doing. I think you can really hear that in the music.”

Although Stagger’s music has often been described as Americana, his work is much broader than that label suggests. He has avoided fitting into one genre over another as a deliberate attempt to focus on the music and the message. And the message is clear in Love Versus

JESSE WALDMAN

One of Jesse Waldman’s most cherished possessions is a cassette of his grandmother singing the Yiddish folk song Papirosen. This along with another remnant, the abandoned guitar in his parent’s basement inspired Waldman’s rock ‘n roll dreams, taking him from the suburban sprawl of Thornhill, Ontario, to the bars of downtown Toronto. A cross-country journey led him to the mountains and Pacific ocean, and into the arms of Vancouver’s Commercial Drive music scene. The West Coast imagery inspires his song writing and Mansion Full of Ghosts, his solo debut, is an exploration of the city’s vast duality, a backdrop of beauty mirrored by a fierce underbelly, and a need to keep a light on in the dark.

KAYA KURZ

Kaya is an up and coming vocalist and songwriter from Vancouver, B.C. She performs an eclectic mix of covers and originals, and counts among her influences Nina Simone, Joni Mitchell, Regina Spektor, Rebecca Sugar and David Byrne.

She’s currently enrolled in Capilano University as a vocal jazz major and specializes in blues, jazz and indie/alt pop. Joining her onstage are Jamison Ko on drums, Riley Poystila on bass, Bobby Seenandan on piano, and Adrian Sowa on guitar.

Not even the Burnaby Blues + Roots Festival can withstand the sands of time.

The 18th edition of the festival hits Deer Lake Park on Saturday, and while there will be a lot about the festival that visitors recognize, this year, organizers have made one very visible change – they’ve reduced the number of stages from three to two.

Why? “It’s a response to some comments from our patrons,” said Shadbolt marketing and sponsorship coordinator Jared Bowles.

For the past four years, the festival has featured musicians on three stages – the Main Stage, the Garden Stage and the Westwood Stage.The acts on the Westwood and Garden stages appeared simultaneously, so folks would have to choose between the two (or maybe just watch a bit of both).

“Summer in Vancouver is such an amazing time, especially early August, that everybody wants to be outside and every weekend you can look in the paper and find five or six events, and we’re just another one of those on the list of things to do, but we think we’re the best,” he said. “And definitely the best value for your buck.”

ASK A LAWYER

Q A

Can your Will be Challenged?

People are often shocked to learn that their Wills may be legally challenged when they die.

Under BC’s estate law (the Wills STEPHEN M. MILLER, Estates and Succession Act) your LAWYER spouse or children may challenge your Will if they feel it does not provide for their “proper maintenance and support”. Their right to challenge is absolute and if pursued, your estate will be frozen and tied up for as long as the matter is before the courts (often 2 to 3 years). The Courts have an absolute discretion to decide if your Will is fair and may direct that it be amended.

Fortunately, there are estate planning options available that may reduce or eliminate the impact of this legislation. Whether it is a trust, joint tenancy or corporate planning, a lawyer can assist you in ensuring that your wishes are honoured.

A lot has changed about the way we garden Mark Cullen

Gardening with Mark

Not long ago, the typical image of a Canadian garden consisted of a broad sweep of impatiens across the front of the house, a solid mass of unbroken colour that knocked your eyes out.This framing a manicured, weedfree lawn trimmed neat and clean.

Back in the day, as recently as 20 years ago, there was a lot of snipping going on. And control. Mother Nature was to be tamed, not partnered with. My father was a leader of this pack.Why else, at the age of 14, did he send me out to prune a juniper into the shape of a chicken?

Dad was having fun, of course, and I do not mean to make fun of him, but things have changed significantly in the Canadian garden in recent years, and it is worth noting some of these changes. " Bring on the insects.

Take tent caterpillars, for in-

stance. My Dad would cut a larvae-laden limb out of a crabapple tree and burn the colony to get rid of it. I am sure this gave him much satisfaction.

A few years ago, I decided to just leave the tent caterpillars alone in my row of 25 crabapples. I observed that many of the trees in the native forest along the highway provide habitat to caterpillars and no one takes them out or burns them.

And now I realize they serve a useful purpose in the natural scheme of things.

They are food for many foraging birds, including insectivores, many of which are in decline.They need all of the help we can give them, so why not ignore the tent caterpillars and let nature take its course?

I decided to do this, and it took two years for the birds to discover I was no longer removing them from tree limbs before they did the job for me.Voila! Less work for me, better for the birds.

We do not kill insects to the same extent we once

did. Native insects (vs. imported, invasive ones like the emerald ash borer) are part of the natural web.

Apart from our general distaste for wasps in our soft drinks and ants in our patio, we are gradually learning to live and let live. " Killing weeds. Just a few years ago we pulled milkweed from our gardens.

It is a weed; after all, it is in the name, right? Now we pay good money for milkweed seeds to provide habitat and food for migratory monarch butterflies.When your kids come home from school and ask about your milkweed, how are you to answer? Better stock up now before you must answer to a new environmentally responsible generation. " Rot and decay are our friends. Remember when we blew our fallen leaves into piles and stuffed them into brown paper bags, dragged them to the curb for the municipality to haul them away? In the spring, we drove to a depot to pick up “free” compost, or worse, some municipali-

ties offered the compost for sale back to the taxpayers who gave them the raw material in the first place.

Back in the day we really weren’t too smart.

Now we rake (not blow) the leaves off the lawn and on to the garden.Then we go inside and watch the football game. Or take the dog for a walk in the park.

Over the spring months, those leaves disappear as foraging worms pull them into the soil to convert them into nitrogen-rich earth worm castings. Better for your garden, less work, saves the municipality money.

Oh, some of us still do it the old-fashioned way. OK, this one is a work in progress. " Wildlife habitat.

With over 800 species of native Canadian bees, we are indeed blessed with a host of natural pollinators, many of which are in decline.

Many are more effective at pollination than honey bees, which are a European import.

Now we provide habitat for our dear wildlife: mason

Changes: Once considered a weed, milkweed is now considered an important food source for migratory butterflies. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

bee houses, insect hotels, toad homes, water features that breed frogs, toads, salamanders, dragonflies and newts.

We are getting much better at this but have a way to go. I predict we will have as many insect enhancing devices in our backyards in 20 years as we have bird feeders now. Stay tuned.

I recently asked a friend, who is a father to a 15-yearold boy, what he thought the world will look like a generation from now. He

looked at me with a worried frown, “I hate to think.”

And yet, all of the aforementioned changes in our thinking with respect to the Canadian garden are a result of young people speaking up in defence of a new, greener, cleaner world.

And sometimes they don’t speak up.

They just do it.

Burnaby opens floodgates against Shamrocks With a much-needed win in Game 3, Lakers find the right mix of grit and explosiveness to boost confidence

Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

The fear of falling behind 3-0 was not as big a motivator as was the desire to show what the sum of their parts can do.

When the dust settled Monday, the Burnaby Lakers used both as fuel to soak the Victoria Shamrocks 13-4 in Game 3 of their best-of-seven Western Lacrosse Association semifinal at the Copeland Sports Centre.

Tyler Digby put Burnaby on the board just 36 seconds in, and while the Shamrocks tied it up, the home squad responded with four straight goals to go ahead 5-1.

The eventual winning goal came with 2:15 left in the first, off the stick of sniper Josh Byrne.The lanky forward faked a shot in the slot with his stick high, then dropped his stick waist high to beat Victoria starter Aaron Bold.

Momentum, and curtailing any waves going the other way, proved to be key for the Lakers, who were feeling the pressure of being down 2-0 in the series to a sharp Shamrocks crew.

Although Victoria counted the final goal of the first and closed the gap to 5-3 just three minutes into the second, the Lakers displayed the kind of resolve that earned them their first league regular season title.

They reeled off five more goals before the end of the period, including back-to-back tallies by Cam Milligan, which gave him three on the evening.

Digby also collected a hat trick, while captain Robert Church netted a pair and set up five others. Chipping in with a goal and four assists was Eli McLaughlin.

At the other end, the defence, led by Matt Beers, Nathan Klein and Justin Salt, kept Victoria’s top snipers to the perimeter of netminder Eric Penney, who faced 38 shots.

“It was nice, for the first couple of games (Church) was doing a lot, so we needed guys to come up and support him,” said coach Peter Tellis. “It was nice getting Eli (McLaughlin) hot, he played exceptional

Didn’t see it coming: Burnaby’s Chris O’Dougherty, left, and Matt MacGrotty, rear, hound Victoria’s Josh Fagan for the ball during Monday’s game at the Copeland Sports Centre. Burnaby won 13-4, picking up its first win of the semifinal series. They trail Victoria 2-1 in the best-of-seven matchup. PHOTO LISA KING

for us, same with Cam Milligan, and Digby played huge for us.”

The Lakers did it without Jason and Scott Jones, who were both injured in the first game of the series.They both posted goal-agame results during the regular season, and in their absence the offence has had to fill the void. On Monday, they did.

“It takes every single guy out there,” said Digby. “I just try to come in and play my game, do the things I do well – setting picks and getting guys open. I think everyone on this team realizes we have a role, and when we stick to each role we are a real good

team.”

Burnaby remains behind the 8-ball, however, as Wednesday’s Game 4 puts them back in Victoria where a boisterous crowd awaits. It was also the setting where the Lakers saw a 5-1 lead evaporate over 35 minutes last Saturday in Game 2, as the ’Rocks rallied for a 9-6 victory.

Keeping the ball rolling and building on what they brought in Game 3 is front-andcentre now. “(In Game 2) we didn’t get that bounceback goal, and we kind of got into a dog fight and couldn’t pull it out,” remarked

Digby. “I think it showed a lot of growth in our game in just being able to bear down (Monday) and finding a way to get that goal and build that lead.”

Tellis agreed and noted the club’s work level has to remain at a high level to contain Victoria as much as possible.

“I believe just continue doing what we’ve done all series.We’ve been playing good lacrosse but the first game the bounces didn’t go our way.Today they started going our way,” he said.

The series returns to Burnaby on Friday, 6 p.m. for Game 5.

Condo, townhome prices keep rising even as sales slow Even as home sales slowed considerably through the lazy summer weeks, the median sale price of an attached home continued to rise in the Burnaby and TriCities region.

The median price of the attached homes (condos, townhouses, duplexes etc) registered as sold in the area the week of July 24-30 was $560,000 – compared with $539,950 in the first three weeks of July and a median price of $534K across all of June. This is despite the number of attached home sales falling to 73 units July 24-30 from 114 sales the previous week.

Broken down by municipality, the median attached home prices range from $637,500 in Burnaby North to $500,000 in Coquitlam.

However, the priciest attached property in the region to sell during that week was in Burnaby South – a spectacular 36thfloor, three-bedroom unit at the brand new Modello building in Metrotown.

This luxury condo, which benefits from use of Modello’s private residents’ club amenities, sold for $1.7 million after nine days on market – $28,888 below list price.
