NEW MONEY FROM NDP

Burnaby to get 171 new child-care spaces By Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

Burnaby will be getting 171 new childcare spaces as part of a $33-million provincewide investment, B.C.’s New Democrats announced on Monday. The city will be getting roughly $1 million, with the money being split among three local child-care providers. BrightStart Children’s Academy, which

operates a facility at 2830 Bainbridge Ave., is receiving $250,000 to create 94 spaces. Of those, 24 will be infant and toddler spaces, 25 will be for kids aged three to five, 20 will be for preschoolers and 25 for schoolaged children. Smilestones Junior Kindergarten (4162 Norland Ave.) is getting $249,495 to create 40 spaces – 24 for infants and toddlers and 16 for children aged three to five. The Burnaby Association for Commu-

nity Inclusion’s (BACI) share is half a million dollars, enough to build 37 spaces (12 infant and toddler spaces and 25 spaces for kids in the three to five range) at Variety Children’s Centre. Monday’s announcement, part of the 2017/18 budget that promises to invest $352 million in child care, benefits families in 52 communities across British Columbia, according to a government press release. The financial boost will create more than

Fireﬁghters double up donations Burnaby firefighters doubled donations to their annual Christmas toy drive with a new approach this year. The local firefighters union hosted its sixth annual Angel Breakfast and Toy Drive at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown Hotel last Friday in support of the Burnaby Community Services Christmas Bureau and the CKNW Orphans’ Fund. About 1,000 people came out to donate toys and cash, and enjoyed a pancake breakfast prepared by firefighter volunteers. For the first time this year, though, firefighters also took in donations at each fire station, at “drive-thrus” that supplied

free coffee and muffins (compliments of McDonalds). In total, the union took in about $25,000 worth of toys (compared to $12,000 last year) and $4,000 in cash, according to vice-president Scott Alleyn. “I think it’s great,” he told the NOW. “The support from the community has been enormous.The generosity just shines through with how many toys were donated, how many people were at the event.” Firefighters will continue to collect donations of toys and cash at fire halls until Dec. 15. “It is a great cause supporting the Burnaby Community Services Christ-

mas Bureau and the CKNW Orphans’ Fund,” Alleyn said. “They’re two great causes that really help people in time of need, especially in December when families need the most help.”

Where to donate: Fire Station #1, 4867 Sperling Ave. Fire Station #2, 7578 Edmonds St. Fire Station #3, 6511 Marlborough Fire Station #4, 2326 Duthie Ave. Fire Station #5, 4211 Hastings St. Fire Station #6, 3620 Brighton Ave. Fire Station #7, 3151 Gilmore Diversion

Former youth coach breaches bail conditions Downes, who is facing voyeurism and child porn charges, was banned from attending public parks where children might be present By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A former Burnaby youth hockey coach facing voyeurism and child porn charges has been found guilty of breaching his bail conditions by visiting Queen’s Park Arena in New Westminster twice last December. Randy Downes, 59, was spotted in the lobby of the rink on Dec. 21 and in the “east dressing room tunnel” on Dec. 22 by a maintenance supervisor who knew him, according to court documents. The incidents were reported to police,

and Downes was arrested on Dec. 23. Downes, who has coached various age groups in youth hockey and baseball for 30 years, including at the Burnaby Winter Club as recently as 2013, had been out on bail after being charged in October 2016 with one count of possession of child pornography, four counts of secretly recording or observing nudity in a private place and four counts of making or publishing child pornography. (Police said they had no evidence Downes had had sexual contact with any of the children involved.) As a condition of his release, he had been

banned from attending “any public park or public swimming area where persons under the age of 16 are present or can be reasonably expected to be present.” At a recent hearing in B.C. Provincial Court in Port Coquitlam, Downes admitted to having been at Queen’s Park on Dec. 21 and 22 last year, according to court documents, but he said he did not consider the parts of the park he visited (the arena) to be truly a park or a place where kids under the age of 16 were present or could reasonably have been expected to be present. Downes told the court he had gone to

Queen’s Park Arena in the afternoon to walk on the walkway at the top of the stands for exercise. He also took a shower at the rink on Dec. 22. He said he had made a point of looking around the facilities to make sure no kids were there. But Crown prosecutor Gail Barnes argued the fact Downes had made a point of checking to make sure no kids were at the arena supported the idea it was a place children could reasonably have been expected to be.

City now Suspect ‘inadvertently Former coach broke bail on released’ from custody child porn charge: judge B.C. Corrections is now investigating the incident Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A suspected bank robber believed to be armed and dangerous was “inadvertently released” by B.C. Corrections staff last month, according to Surrey RCMP. Dean Zastowny, 47, was arrested in Surrey on Nov. 12, in connection with robberies in Burnaby and Abbotsford in October. On Saturday, however, Surrey RCMP was once again asking for the public’s help finding him, saying the suspected bank robber was unlawfully at large. Asked when Zastowny had been released from custody, Surrey RCMP said he had been “inadvertently released” by B.C. Corrections and deferred questions to that body.

B.C. Corrections confirmed there had been “an incident related to the release of an inmate from the Surrey Pretrial Services Centre,” but spokesperson Cindy Rose said the correctional service couldn’t release any more information. “B.C. Corrections is taking this matter very seriously and is conducting a full review to investigate the circumstances,” Rose said in an emailed statement. “Given the ongoing investigations, we are unable to release any further details at this time.” Zastowny is described as white, six-foot-one and 215 pounds, with blue eyes, brown hair and a fair complexion. He has a full sleeve of tattoos on his right forearm with a skull, snake and

flames; skull tattoos on his right upper arm; a skull and faces on his left forearm, and tattoos on his upper back torso. Police are looking for any information on his whereabouts. “Members of the public are asked not to approach Zastowny and to call 911 if they see him, as he may be in possession of a weapon,” states a Surrey RCMP press release. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Surrey RCMP at 604-5990502.To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or www.solvecrime.ca. Check www.burnabynow. com for updates.

Continued from page 3 She asked Downes whether he would go to a pub and look around to see if kids were there. He said no. “I wouldn’t even think about looking for kids in a pub,” he said.

I wouldn’t even think about looking for kids in a pub

“So, if he’s looking for them, that means he could reasonably expect them to be present and he’s looking to see if they are,” Barnes said. Judge Thomas Woods agreed. “He ‘did look for kids’ at Queen’s Park on the of-

fence dates; he did ‘think about looking for kids’ there because, I am satisfied, he ‘reasonably expected’ them to be there,” he stated in a Nov. 10 ruling. Woods also rejected the idea that Downes’s reasons for visiting the Queen’s Park Arena had been “innocent,” that he had gone there to walk in the arena stands as part of his exercise regime and then shower before leaving to visit friends. “He sought to persuade the court that exercising this way at the arena was something he did with some frequency,”Woods stated, “yet Crown witnesses who are routinely present there and know Mr. Downes to see him do not recall seeing him walking the perimeter walkway, ever. Neither do they recall anyone other than scheduled players and referees ever taking a shower at the arena without ask-

ing permission beforehand.” Woods found Downes guilty on both counts. The former coach had already served seven days in custody, and Woods did not sentence him to more time in jail. Downes’s voyeurism and child pornography trial is set for the spring of 2018 in B.C. Supreme Court.

Fortius reaches out to help Christmas Bureau Sports and fitness facility has started an ‘angel project’ to help bring in toys for kids in need Tereza Verenca

Fortius Sport and Health is inviting the community to participate in its first-ever toy drive benefiting the Burnaby Christmas Bureau. Each year, Burnaby Community Services organizes the bureau to ensure low-income families and seniors have a gift under their tree.The success of the campaign depends on the many businesses, nonprofits and individuals who come together to raise money and toys. Fortius – a sport health, wellness and fitness facility on Kensington Avenue – has registered as an angel project participant, and is encouraging staff (and the public) to come in and grab an angel card from the atrium. Each card contains the sex and age of a child in need. “That way we’re not getting 42 baseballs or some-

Moms’ group reaches out with Christmas hampers Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby mom wants to raise $3,000 to support mothers who need a helping hand this Christmas. For the last four years, Jodelene Weir has been the administrator of the Burnaby Mommy Group on Facebook. The page, home to more than 2,400 members, has a lot of moms who are new immigrants, are in abusive situations or have children with physical, mental and health challenges and require a little help, she told the NOW. As a way to give back, Weir launched a hamper program on Nov. 23, with a goal to raise enough money to support 15 families in the Facebook group. She wants to give each recipient $200 in grocery gift cards. “A couple of months ago, one of the moms messaged me and she couldn’t afford to feed her family.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Help make some family’s wishes come true Yes, it’s the time of the year when our thoughts turn to giving and receiving.We think of family and friends, of Christmas traditions, of our favourite tasty treats. And, for many of us, we can’t help but count all of our blessings without thinking about those in our community who are facing hard times. The Christmas Bureau

is well on its way to revving up donations and sponsors to ensure that there will be enough for many families in Burnaby that are trying to figure out how to make this a happy holiday for their children. Many families in this city are barely getting by on one income. Costs have gone up in all areas. Many will barely be able to cover rent and new boots for the kids.

Many families in this city are barely getting by on one income. Many will barely be able to cover the rent and be able to buy new boots for the kids And for those who are relying on government help, there is often not enough to get a turkey, let alone

hope that Santa can make Christmas toy wishes come true for the kids. Last year, Burnaby Com-

munity Services had 3,100 Burnaby residents registered for help with the bureau. Of those, half asked for sponsorship, but only 200 families were matched. Perhaps you have a group of folks at your workplace, school, in your yoga class, your condominium or your own loved ones who might like to get involved and help a family in need? But if you don’t have

a group to sponsor a family you can spread joy this Christmas season all by yourself. Please check out the stories on page 5 of today’s edition. And check out the special pages in today’s paper from page 19 to page 26 to learn about other charities that are looking for helping hands. Make someone’s wishes come true.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Rough seas ahead for Watts The B.C. Liberal leadership race is heating up, and although it’s debatable whether the general public is paying much attention to it, the contest is slowly revealing that one particular candidate seems to stand apart from the others. That would be Dianne Watts, the former Surrey mayor and ex-Conservative MP. And where she sits versus the other five leadership candidates is not necessarily a good thing for her or the party. Watts’ performance in a series of leadership debates (they are available for viewing on Facebook) has been questioned and criticized by many observers. In the debate in Kelowna this past weekend,Watts’ performance was not nearly as flat as her previous outings, but she continues to offer little more than platitudes and a constant pledge to “listen” and “work together.” There seems to be increasing tension between Watts and her counterparts at these events. While AndrewWilkinson and Todd Stone, for example, have squared off against each other, their encounters clearly lack what appears to be simmering animosity betweenWatts and the others. This is not entirely surprising.Watts is the only “outsider” in the race.The others have all been longtime members of the party (Watts only joined a few months ago) and are all caucus colleagues. It appears thatWatts’ refusal to offer many clear policy positions is exasperating her opponents. And she has

been pointed in her criticism of the party and its loss of so many seats – and eventually the government – in the past election, criticism that her rivals likely find fairly irritating since they (with the exception of Michael Lee) were members of that government. IfWatts does prove victorious on Feb. 4 (and we’re still a long way from voting day) it’s an open question whether she can keep the party together. Not only does she lack the support of a single member of the Liberal caucus, but several Liberal MLAs have expressed worries to me about what a Watts leadership win holds for party unity. While Christy Clark also lacked caucus support when she successfully won the leadership race in 2011, it’s important to note she was part of the cabinet and caucus that her opponents were also part of and had a long history within the party. But even with those party credentials, Clark eventually ran into caucus unity issues, and one has to wonder whetherWatts wouldn’t inevitably face the same kind of internal strains over her leadership. She has no history with her rivals on that debate stage, or with many members of the caucus. No one knows who’s going to win this race, but one thing is becoming increasingly clear: aWatts victory may put the party unity card on the table, and it may prove hard to deal with it while the party sits in Opposition. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Lightning strikes twice Lightning strikes played havoc with Burnaby-area oil refineries in the spring. A gas spill in the Burrard Inlet was attributed to a thunderstorm on the evening of May 17. A lightning strike caused a power outage at the Petro-Canada refinery on Glenayre Drive, which in return led to the release of a “thin slick” of naptha gas into the inlet.The Burnaby Fire Department was also called to the Imperial Oil facility in Lake City, where a lightning strike caused a flare up of a refinery stack.There were no reports of injury in either incident, and Petro-Canada officials said there was no environmental damage.

Opinionnow People must care for the planet before it’s too late Dear Editor: When Ajit Krishnaswamy writes about “checking our privilege” with regard to protesting the expanded Kinder Morgan pipeline and tanker port (Pipeline protesters are in a privileged position, Burnaby NOW, Dec. 1), it’s imperative to understand the underlying history, politics and economics of colonization before laying too much blame. The original Coast Salish First Nations people never imagined they had privilege in the European sense of the word. For millennia, their populous societies cared for local ecosystems so they could live sustainably. Their Indigenous world view did not include a notion of “rights.” Rather, it mandated a set of “obligations” to respect and care for the land and water, which provided sustenance. Their value systems stressed the importance of all the living components of their home ecosystems. By contrast, when Europeans arrived on the West Coast, they set to work clear-cutting the forests and overfishing the waterways. In their Western world view, the natural capital, which appeared abundant, was free for the taking. Over the Rockies to the east, European settlers were slowly turning grasslands into farms. As time went on, oil was discovered and used for local needs. When that was spent, greater attention was given to extracting the dirtier bitumen from the tar sands to the north. But this activity required much more water and energy for processing.

Today, after hundreds of years of colonization, the whole world follows the neoclassical economic model that imagines common pool resources are mere commodities. The consequences of the resulting excess pollution, waste and climate change, ecosystem and species loss continues not be included in economic balance sheets. Governments favour large corporations that build resource extraction projects because they provide local jobs and contribute funding to important human endeavours such as hospitals. However, corporations are interested, first and foremost, in their own profit. And they are rarely required to replace trees cut down, return the animals to their original home and clean the air and water. Nor do they care much about fixing the negative social and environmental impacts their projects have on Indigenous and other human communities. Imagining that resource extraction can continue indefinitely in this manner is the ultimate – and very dangerous – privilege. Local Coast Salish groups have so far spent a great deal of their own time and money countering the Kinder Morgan expansion because they strongly believe this is the right thing to do. It would be wise to halt disproportionate privilege all around. Stopping a pipeline and tanker port means Canadians must take the time to examine other ways of making a living. Humans are the only species on our planet who take more than their sustainable share with little regard to short- and long-term consequences. Our planet is the only real value we have. We must learn to care for it or it will no longer care for us. Celia Brauer, False Creek Watershed Society

ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENTS

Missing greyhound found safe and sound Cornelia Naylor

TUESDAY, 2017 DECEMBER 12 AT 7:00 PM in the Council Chamber, Burnaby City Hall, 4949 Canada Way, Burnaby, B.C., V5G 1M2 to receive representations in connection with the following proposed amendments to “Burnaby Zoning Bylaw 1965”.

Rez . #16-42 6525, 6559 and 6585 Sussex Avenue From: RM3 Multiple Family Residential District To:

CD Comprehensive Development District (based on RM5s Multiple Family Residential District, RM4 Multiple Family Residential District, C2 Community Commercial District, Metrotown Downtown Plan as guidelines, and in accordance with the development plan entitled “6525, 6559 & 6585 Sussex Avenue, Burnaby, BC Proposed Mixed-Use Commercial & Residential Development” prepared by Chris Dikeakos Architects Inc. and Durante Kreuk Ltd.)

The purpose of the proposed zoning bylaw amendment is to permit the construction of a single high-rise mixed-use tower comprised of retail, office and residential uses, with a residential townhouse podium oriented towards Sussex Avenue, and a second mid-rise non-market rental apartment building oriented towards Sussex Avenue.

her German shepherd Luger came across Daniel on a Burnaby Mountain trail and managed to leash him and walk him down the mountain. “I just about stumbled over him. I wouldn’t have seen him had it not been for Luger,” Legault said. “He blended right in and he was curled up and he was shivering.” At first, Legault was worried about scaring Daniel off, but the treats she had in her pocket did the trick. “I gave him a couple treats and hooked up Luger’s leash to him and he just followed me out.” Besides being a little skinnier and scraped up, the lost hound appeared to take the end of his adventure in stride. “He just literally walked

to the car, jumped into the back like he normally does,” Yuen said. Yuen adopted Daniel, an ex-racer from Florida, through the Northwest Canada Greyhound League in early September. He is the first dog in the family, which had been catsonly until he arrived, according toYuen. The response to his disappearance from greyhound lovers near and far has been overwhelming she said, with people calling from as far away asVancouver Island andWashington State to offer help. “I’m joking with them that, like, we say cat people are crazy.

A missing dog that mobilized the Lower Mainland greyhound community was found by a fellow canine on a Burnaby Mountain trail Tuesday morning after being AWOL for nearly 10 days. Daniel, a brindle greyhound, slipped out of an open door near theVancouver-Burnaby border on Nov. 26 and took off into Burnaby. “He got from Adanac and Cassiar to Forest Grove, which is like 12 kilometres, in his first hour missing,” his owner NicoleYuen told the NOW. “He just basically was facing one direction and kept going that way.” His disappearance sparked a flurry of search activity from local greyhound lovers, including members of the Lower Mainland Greyhounds and Sighthounds Facebook group, who posted about him, formed search parties and went out on their own to look for him. “People just came, and strangers came,”Yuen said. “I never asked anybody, and people just showed up. I’d run into people looking for my dog, and I’d introduce myself, and they’d be like, ‘Oh, you’re the owner.’” After several sightings over the last nine days – in Forest Grove, at Burnaby North Secondary and SFU – success came Tuesday morning when Coquitlam resident Sue Legault and

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

It’s the most wonderful time of the year – and sometimes the most crazymaking. If you’re a parent (especially to pint-size humans) you know well how trying to get all your pre-holiday tasks accomplished and keeping the kids amused at the same time is a somewhat herculean feat.Which is why we’ve put together this list of ways to keep the kids amused for the holiday season – both before Christmas and after, when those long days out of school may start to wear on you. Clip it out, stick it on the fridge, and refer to it next time the kids start to drive you crazy. VISIT WITH SANTA Willingdon Community Centre is hosting a festive night of Christmas crafts and seasonal activities, featuring the man himself, on Thursday, Dec. 7 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. You’ll have a chance to get your photo taken with Santa (bring your own camera). Children must be accompanied by an adult. Note that it’s by registration only – you can find the link to sign up at www. burnaby.ca/holidayfun - and it costs $11.35 per child (aged one to 10). GET CRAFTY The Burnaby Public Library has plenty to do to keep the kids busy over the holidays, including some craft sessions for the small folks. On Saturday, Dec. 9, the Metrotown branch (6100 Willingdon Ave.) hosts a

Destination Honda Grand Opening

SPONSORED CONTENT

By Michelle Hopkins

What does it take to thrive in the automotive industry for more than three decades? The Destination Auto Group should know. With five dealerships, including three in Burnaby, the family-owned company has built a stellar reputation for providing excellence in both customer service and satisfaction. Now, there is another reason to celebrate. Destination Auto Group unveiled its newly relocated Destination Honda Burnaby dealership. The premier boutique auto dealer held its Grand Opening November 15th and it was a resounding success. The soiree was attended by Burnaby’s Mayor Derek Corrigan, the President and CEO of Honda Canada Dave Gardner, as well as several local dignitaries, VIPs, family and colleagues. Guests were welcomed with a classical 4-string quartet and hors d’oeuvres, before a ribbon-cutting ceremony, Taiko drum and calligraphy performances. Invitees also had the opportunity to view a 2018 Hon-

da Civic Type-R alongside a 1977 Honda Civic. “We are raising the bar by offering our guests with more choices all under one roof,” says Adil Ahamed, Managing Director of Destination Auto Group. “We offer the same excellence in customer service people have come to expect from Honda, while adding a new dimension.” The site is much bigger than the dealership’s previous location on Hastings Street and is much more modern, featuring a host of new amenities. “This facility is much brighter and spacious,” says Ahamed. “We reconfigured it to make better use of the space and introduced state of the art equipment to give our guests the best experience they can have.” The contemporary 41,000-square foot building is much better equipped to serve the growing needs of existing and potential new clients. Its expansive upscale 12-car showroom is filled with a selection of new and used Honda models to choose from. But it doesn’t stop there. The award-

winning brand’s after-sale service is second to none. With a total of 16 service bays, including two service drive through lanes that can accommodate nine guests, this bright new service workshop offers added-value services. While waiting, customers are invited to relax or work in its cappuccino bar and lounge, which features comfortable seating, flat screen TVs and WiFi. The drive-through lanes, dubbed the Drive, will offer express oil change, diagnostic checks such as tire tread and wheel alignment, and more - a full compliment of auto services while you wait. With knowledgeable, professionally trained staff to serve you, expect the unexpected at Destination Honda. “Our staff have all been factory trained to Honda’s high standards of excellence,” Ahamed says, adding that the store will employ up to 100 staff members within the next few months. Destination Auto Group has been providing Honda guests with exceptional service to match the outstanding quality of its vehicles. This year marks the 30th anniversary that the

family-run company has been in partnership with Honda Canada, through its acquisition of Kingsway Honda in Vancouver in 1987. Its commitment doesn’t end with its satisfied customers. Destination Auto Group is equally dedicated to the communities it serves. Each year, it sponsors a host of organizations and events such as: BCIT Student Association, Festival of Lights at Brentwood Town Centre, a Fundraiser providing much-needed money to the “Boots For Kids” program, Burnaby Mayor’s Annual Golf Tournament, and the 11th Annual Female Hockey Remembrance Day Tournament. Discover for yourself what all the excitement is about. Destination Burnaby Honda is conveniently located at 4278 Lougheed Highway, Burnaby.

Support orphans in Congo this holiday season TerezaVerenca HERE & NOW

tverenca@burnabynow.com

Need ideas for a gift? Burnaby volunteer Shelagh Armour-Godbolt is asking folks to consider donating to Shiloh Place Orphanage in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The orphanage, founded by Coquitlam resident Chantal Kasongo, is in need of foldable tables, Bibles and hymn books. Tax deductible receipts are available for donations of $25 or more. People can also donate online at shiloh place.ca/donate. For the last two years, Armour-Godbolt has worked with Kasongo on her project, helping her spread the word. “I am touched by Chantal’s long-term commitment to the needs – practical and spiritual – of the people in her former home community,” said Armour-Godbolt in a press release. “Chantal contributes a great deal to the improvement of lives in the DRC.” Kasongo has used her personal savings and raised funds locally to work on developing her site plan for a village-type orphanage. For more info, call 604937-5305 or email silohplace@gmail.com. WATCHING SALMON SPAWN Local dignitaries took part in a salmon tour around Stoney Creek earlier this year. Organized by the Stoney Creek environment committee, the tours encourage people to get out into nature. On one occasion, Kennedy Stewart, NDP MP

for Burnaby South, took part, as well as representatives from Terry Beech’s office. Other attendees included staff from Parkland Refinery, Fortis B.C., Kinder Morgan and Watershed Watch. “One of the best things about being a streamkeeper is that everyone recognizes the benefits for the local community and learns what the Stoney Creek environment committee does to bring back salmon to the urban environment,” said John Templeton, president of the committee, in an email to the NOW. “It’s also very important to educate the youth as they are our future streamkeepers.” Templeton noted the tours started last year and proved to be very popular. This year’s salmon return isn’t as high as previous years, he noted. NEW ART SPACE The NDP MLA for Burnaby North has transformed her constituency office at 1833 Willingdon Ave. into a space where Burnaby artists can display their work. On Nov. 25, Janet Routledge was joined by ministers Shane Simpson, Katrina Chen and Melanie Mark, MLAs Raj Chouhan and Anne Kang, Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan and wife Kathy Corrigan, some Burnaby city council members and school trustees for the official opening. “We believe the office should be a community office space,” said Routledge. “Having the display of local artists is a way to connect the community to the artists.” Artwork will be rotated every few months, she

Whether you are buying for an overstressed corporate powerhouse, a busy mom with toddlers, a rebellious teen or for the woman who has everything, a gift of pampering is always appreciated. Julliet Beauty Spa gift certificates work in every area of its multiplex - from its Spa, toWedding, and even Café.

Connect to Charities Get to know the not-for-profit organizationsin our community

t this time of the year as we prepare to celebrate the holiday season and enjoy the comfort of family and friends, it’s a ﬁtting time to consider those in our community who may not have the support that many of us often take for granted.

While good causes are in every country around the world, there are some excellent organizations right here in Burnaby doing great work. Giving is a personal choice, sometimes guided by personal experience, sometimes by what we learn from others. What we hope to do in the following pages is to introduce you to just some local causes – their priorities and some of their successes. I can assure you that each organization or group provides very dedicated and much needed resources and support in our community. Our hope is that this will help you and your family select a cause that resonates with you and we encourage you to offer your assistance, participation and if you are able, a donation. Whether you give your time and energy or a few dollars, even the smallest contribution makes a difference and any act of giving is always greatly appreciated. Let’s make a difference this holiday season and do our part to give back to the community.

EMPOWERINGPEOPLE CHANGINGLIVES

We are helping women 19 years of age and over, who struggle with drug and/or alcohol addiction. We offer women a safe place to deal with the many issues that often contribute to their addiction, such as trauma, abuse and co-occurring mental health issues. We teach them new coping strategies and improved life skills, such as: learning how to set and maintain healthy boundaries; taking healthy (instead of unhealthy) risks; engaging in positive interactions; rebuilding broken family relationships; nurturing oneself and others; and amending past wrongs. Further, by offering our clients lifetime aftercare access and support, Charlford House aims to strengthen each client’s ability to succeed in recovery, while at the same time providing hope to women newer to our program.

Our Values

We foster respect, compassion, and dignity among our clients, staff, board and volunteers. We embrace recovery as having a profound impact on individuals and their families. We cultivate peer relationships and mentoring in our highly structured living environment. We support community integration through attendance at Alcoholics and Narcotics Anonymous meetings outside our facility.

Our Work in the Community

It is no secret that drug and alcohol misuse can lead to many problems within our society. The culture of addiction is pervasive and with the current opioid crisis, the tentacles of addiction have reached epidemic proportions. The toll substance abuse has on family and loved ones is no less signiﬁcant. Because of the stigma often attached to alcohol and drug abuse, family members are sometimes left to suffer in silence. There is often a sense of shame attached to the situation and this can lead to total isolation for those who care most deeply about the addict. In addition, the costs often associated with addiction (e.g. relating to court appearances, jail sentences, lost wages, hospital facilities, emergency response, child foster care, etc.) all increase the ﬁnancial burden on the taxpayer and the various levels of government. Recognizing the devastating impact these problems have on our communities, Charlford House Society for Women has, for the past 47 years, been part of the solution.

How to become involved

Q: HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN AT THIS LOCATION? Kearney Funeral Services was established in 1908, making it one of Western Canada’s oldest family owned and operated funeral providers. We’re proud to have a presence in the Burnaby Heights

area having opened our doors November 1st this year. We held our grand opening on November 7th and it was a great event, with many local business partners, local residents, and other funeral professionals in attendance. Q: WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THIS LOCATION? Following the sale of Bell & Burnaby Funeral Chapel to the Texasbased Service Corporation International, there was a big loss to the Hastings business community and

we felt it was important that there continued to be a family owned, independent funeral service provider in this area. We’re proud to be opening this new location at 4715 Hastings, and to continue bringing local, family owned, caring services to the Burnaby Heights community. Q: WHAT DOES THE HEIGHTS MEAN TO YOU? The Heights area is a unique neighbourhood

in the lower mainland. There’s a great sense of community and support among the local residents and businesses. The Hat’s Off Day and other community initiatives foster this support. Q: HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED IN THIS BUSINESS? I started my career path with earning my degree at Simon Fraser University after which I enrolled in the two-year Funeral

Burnaby Hospital Foundation 3935 KINCAID STREET, BURNABY

Our Focus

Our Work in the Community

Burnaby Hospital Foundation serves as a bridge between a generous community and its rapidly growing health care needs. As the philanthropic arm of Burnaby Hospital, the Foundation is dedicated to building community partnerships that:

The Foundation helps ensure that everyone in Burnaby and East Vancouver has access to a well-equipped hospital and quality health care, close to home. More speciﬁcally, we help more than 200,000 patients and families each year who turn to Burnaby Hospital in need of medical attention. The Foundation raises funds and awareness to enhance the health and wellness of the community.

• Help purchase vital medical equipment and technology; • Improve patient care; and • Support innovative and educational community programs designed to improve health and wellness.

How you can get involved • Support our gala by purchasing tickets, becoming a sponsor or donating an auction item. • Make a donation by phone, mail or online. • Become a monthly donor. • Honour someone special with a donation to the Foundation. • Remember the Foundation in your will. • Volunteer: donate your time and talents on a weekly basis or at a special event.

Chief Executive Ofﬁcer Telephone: 604-431-2881 Website: www.bhfoundation.ca Twitter: /bbyhospitalfdn Facebook: /BurnabyHospitalFoundation/ Instagram: /burnabyhospitalfoundation/

We help put state-of-the-art medical equipment and technology into the hands of our dedicated health-care professionals, ensuring Burnaby Hospital patients receive the highest standard of care. The Foundation funds approximately half the cost of all new and upgraded medical equipment at Burnaby Hospital. In fact, over the past 15 years our generous donors have given close to $21 million to purchase equipment for the hospital—and that ﬁgure doesn’t include dollars raised for clinical education, hospital programs or community wellness initiatives that also rely on donations to exist.

Upcoming Events On Friday, February 9, 2018, the Foundation will present The Emperor’s Ball at the Delta Burnaby Hotel. The event will bring together donors, sponsors and corporate and community leaders, all committed to ensuring quality health care for the people of Burnaby and East Vancouver. Thanks to the dedicated support of our community, our gala has become a signature event in the City. Proceeds from this year’s event will help fund two important projects at Burnaby Hospital: 1. The creation of a mental health and substance use zone in the emergency department; and 2. The consolidation of community outpatient services currently scattered throughout the hospital and community within a single area of the hospital. Both of these projects will signiﬁcantly improve the experience of patients and access to services at Burnaby Hospital.

The BFCS is honoured to be recognized by the Burnaby Excellence Awards, a joint initiative of the Burnaby Board of Trade and the City of Burnaby, with the Community Service Award and in 2013 the “Not-for-Proft of the Year” Award.

The BFCS is recognized for our continued outstanding service to the community, and was named the Not-For-Proﬁt Organization in 2013 by the Burnaby Board of Trade, and from the Burnaby Hospital Foundation, recently received the Dr. Kenneth Hill Spirit for Philanthropy award. Beyond maintaining a strong presence at neighbourhood cleanups, barbecues, fairs and parades, delivering vital programs to the community, and the Annual Christmas Angel Breakfast and Toy Drive, the BFCS contributes funds to over 40 Lower Mainland charitable and community organizations such as: Burnaby Hospital Foundation, Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation, St. Michael’s Hospice, B.C. Special Olympics, Burnaby Family Life, “Dry Grad” initiatives, Burnaby Neighbourhood House and Variety Club. With no paid administration or costly overhead like some other charities, “Ninety-nine per cent of the money that we raise goes back to the local community,” says BFCS president Jeff Clark. Therefore, “you are actually getting better value for every dollar you donate.”

Future Plans

The BFCS has set its sights on continuing to grow its Charitable Endowment fund, which currently totals over $950,000. “We’d love to get it up to the $2 million mark,” says Clark. “That would make us more self sufﬁcient, and we wouldn’t have to rely on donations as much. Looking at what other organizations like ours have done with similar endowments, once you reach that sort of number, the interest that comes in makes a huge difference in what you’re able to do, without even touching the principal.”

How to become involved

As well as accepting donations from the local community, the BFCS is looking to secure a corporate sponsor to help ensure the longevity of its Nutritional Snack Program, through which the organization supplies healthy snacks to elementary schools in Burnaby – a vital resource, especially in low-income areas of southeast Burnaby. “We’d love to get a corporate sponsor to partner up with us every year,” says Clark. “This program is an ongoing cost for us to the tune of $65,000 a year.” The Burnaby Fireﬁghters Charitable Society is hard at work to make our community a better place, and we need your help. We can make a difference.

Upcoming events

• The 26th annual Burnaby Fireﬁghters Charitable Society Ball will be held at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown on Saturday, April 14, 2018. By far the BCFS’s biggest fundraising event each year, this raised $80,000 in 2016. • The annual BFCS Golf Tournament will be held at the Riverway Golf Course in mid-September following the Labour Day Long Weekend; in 2016 it raised over $25,000.

Pottery Works

612 VICTORIA STREET, NEW WESTMINSTER

Our Focus

PotteryWorks is a multi-media art studio, that supports, teaches and promotes artists who are overcoming disability through the practice of art and craft. We teach pottery skills, such as wheel throwing and hand building as well as slip-casting in moulds. Our painting group, the Colour Collective, learn the principles of colour theory and perspective by following the work of such masters as the Group of Seven, Van Gogh, Monet and the other Impressionists. They work in acrylic and watercolour. We have a group of photographers, Snap Photo Club, who go into their community and record their impressions of it on ﬁlm. Our artists also produce jewellery, hand painted and photo cards.

Our Goals

Our primary goal at PotteryWorks is to support community inclusion for our artists. We teach and promote them to become valued members of their communities and to be recognized for their abilities and contributions.

Work in Community

PotteryWorks started operations 16 years ago. We are sponsored by the Community Living Society, an organization that has been providing residential and day supports since the 1970’s. We started with six artists in 2000 and now represent over 40. Our artists have shown their work at shows and galleries all over the Lower Mainland. Some of the highlights include a month long show last year at the Lookout Gallery at UBC, of 25 landscape paintings by our Colour Collective group of painters. We opened a store at the River Market in New Westminster about six years ago, to give our artists exposure and an opportunity to meet and interact with the public. At River Market, our artists demonstrate how they paint their pottery for the public and develop relationships with their community. Our photographers have shown their work at multiple shows and produce a line of photo cards that are very popular. Through learning the techniques and discipline of pottery and painting, our artists have grown as people and meeting the public and selling their work helps to heal self- esteem and give them an identity and role in the larger society. At our River Market store, two of our artists have been able to fulﬁll a lifetime goal to work with children, by becoming instructors in our “Painted Pots and Polka Dots” children’s pottery workshops. We now offer evening and weekend classes for the public at our new location at 612 Victoria St. in New Westminster, where our artists can participate in running the classes.

Our artists and staff

PotteryWorks represents over forty artists, all overcoming some form of disability. Some live in residential facilities and attend the studio with support staff, while others are self- advocates who live and travel independently on transit. Working artists are on staff at the PotteryWorks studio and give lessons and support to the attending artists.

How to become involved

Drop by either of our locations to meet our artists, they love to show their work and the pride they have. We do accept donations and have had many generous donations of pottery and art supplies, as well as funds. Members of the public have also volunteered in our studio.

Make the holidays merrier with these tips DavidicusWong

HEALTHWISE

editorial@burnabynow.com

Though children greet the holidays with gleeful anticipation, many grownups default to dread and loathing. It can be the unhealthiest and unhappiest time of the year, but it doesn’t have to be. Today, let’s prepare ourselves for the stress of the season. December can be jam-packed with parties, dinners and school concerts, long waits in lineups and parking lots, and endless spending. Two keys to managing stress are acceptance and choice. There are some aspects in our lives that we can’t change (our age and stage of life, our relatives).We just have to accept them.The alternative is to complain about them, and that just makes us feel worse. But if we look, we will recognize where we have choice. If you are the traditional big doer, connector and gogetter of your family and social circle and feel burnt out before each Christmas Day arrives, consider lowering your standards.You don’t have to do it all. Do what you can. Do what matters most to you. Maybe you could have tweeted this to the rest of the family last year, but it’s not too late to lower their

expectations, delegate and share the wealth of holiday preparations. If you are a typical husband and dad, kid who is old enough to help out or any other adult who is used to just showing up for the food and fun, pitch in and show your appreciation for the real Santa in your life. We will all be happier in the end. We all need a little therapy at some point in our lives, and every adult who is already cynical about the season needs some cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) right now to avoid becoming a Grinch by NewYear’s Eve. A key concept of CBT is that not only do our feelings influence our thoughts and actions, but our thoughts and actions can transform our feelings. By choosing more adaptive thoughts and actions, we can be happier. We don’t have to be victims of circumstance.We have a choice. Choose actions that bring you happiness and peace. To get in the spirit, I watch my favourite Christmas movies – the ones that I’ve watched with my kids as they grew up – Elf, Santa Clause 2, It’s aWonderful Life and A Christmas Carol (both the Disney and Alistair Sims versions). I put up the tree early because the older I get, the faster the season passes. Each ornament connects me to the timeless feelings

of family Christmases past. I’ve started playing my favourite Christmas CDs, and I’ll still be enjoying them while I’m caught in holiday traffic jams. How can you be grumpy while listening to the Chipmunks Christmas Song or Elvis’ Santa Claus is Coming to Town? Think about eggnog so you’ll remember to recognize “neg cogs.”These are the negative cognitions or thoughts that just make us feel grumpier about the holidays. Here are some traditional examples: 1. “I’m sick of all the commercialized Christmas music and decorations! They come out earlier each year to make us spend ourselves into debt.” 2. “I’m dreading those endless family dinners with my insufferable uncle, my in-laws and siblings. Same bad habits; same old fights.” 3. “This too shall pass.

Make time: Don’t be afraid to lower expectations this holiday season. It can go a long way to making what can be the most stressful time of year more enjoyable. PHOTO THINKSTOCK, FILE

I just have to have a drink, find a couch, fall asleep and wake up when it’s all over.” Remember negative thoughts can pop up especially when we’re stressed. You are not responsible for their appearance, but you can choose positive thoughts that make you feel (and behave) better. Here are some to challenge the neg cogs:

Marathon run scores silver for STM sr. girls

Knights outlast Lower Mainland, defending champion in five-set matches before running out of gas in final By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

They played to win, so the disappointment of finishing second was real. But the St.Thomas More Knights senior girls volleyball team demonstrated skill, passion and true grit in getting to the championship final and pushing the eventual victors at the B.C. AA provincials in Vanderhoof last weekend. They defeated last year’s champions and twice crossed paths with Langley Christian, who in the final emerged with a 3-0 victory. Knights head coach Becky Lang felt the girls were in fine form during the three-day series, which saw them play seven matches, including a pair of fivegame sets against powerhouse opponents. “It was definitely a lot of good volleyball, but it was a long trip,” Lang said. “We kind of wish it had gone a little longer.” Although they briefly led in the final’s first set against Langley Christian, STM was unable to match their strong outside hitting game. Up against eventual tourney MVP Savannah CaterinoLeger, the Knights pushed back, blocked and did their digging-est best. Unfortunately, Langley’s squad was able to weather the storm and pull away, giving the Fraser Valley school a rare AA sports sweep on the day. Langley Christian had earlier captured the senior boys title in Langley. “We were able to take a set off them in pool play, but it was that much tougher (in the final),” remarked Lang. The final was foreshadowed in the first game of pool play, where the Knights took the Langley school to three sets before falling 2-1 (25-16, 1925, 15-13).They bounced back and Right back at you: St. Thomas More’s Vanesa Gatto, in white, fires a net shot at Cambie defenders during Lower Mainland action last month.

Burnaby South, Byrne Creek taste Klassic competition

If it’s December that means there is basketball on the calendar. Burnaby’s teams hit the hardwood with great anticipation, gearing up to battle for local bragging rights and possible provincial berths down the road. With league contests beginning this week, most teams have had a handful of exhibition tests al-

ready, including the senior AAAA boys Burnaby South Rebels. At the Heritage Woods Kodiaks Klassic tournament, the No. 5-ranked Rebels rolled up a pair of victories – 84-40 over No. 8 Walnut Grove and 88-76 over Handsworth – before falling 86-67 to highly-ranked Alberta team Bishop O’Byrne in the semifinal.

The Rebels rebounded to capture third place, beating No. 7 Semiahmoo 90-69, with Baltej Sohal earning player of the game honours and a first all-star team award.Vince Sunga was selected to the second team. At the same Klassic tourney, the AAA-ranked Byrne Creek Bulldogs faced some tough competi-

tion, falling 92-84 to St. George’s, topping AAAA-ranked Kelowna 78-69, before closing out with back-to-back losses to Kitsilano, 63-59, and Vancouver College, 9485. Picking up a scholarship award at the Klassic was the Bulldogs’ Majok Deng. Although they lost their opening game at the Fleetwood Park tour-

nament, the AAA-unranked Alpha Aztecs began a winning streak, beating Port Moody 77-70 and Brookswood 64-53. Also securing wins last week were the Cariboo Hill Chargers, who topped Cambie 71-64 at Gladstone’s Tip-Off tourney, and Burnaby Central, which beat Eric Hamber 67-59.

SFU swimmers shine at Husky

Hyack and Simon Fraser Aquatics swimmers set the pace for Clan

By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Rolando Hernandez, Erin Lawrance and Andrew Woinoski all had memorable meets for Simon Fraser University at the Husky Invitational in Federal Way,Wash., last week. Hernandez, a native of Mexico City who trained with New Westminster’s Hyack Swim Club, was the top male swimmer after setting an SFU all-time record in the 200-yard backstoke and finishing top-three in three races during the meet. He and Woinoski were the top two swimmers in the High Point award, achieving the highest individual points overall. Hernandez was first with 112 points followed by Woinoski, a Burnaby Mountain Secondary grad, with 80 points. Their efforts set the SFU men’s team to third place overall, matched by Lawrance and the SFU women. UC Santa Barbara won the collegiate men’s competition with 643 points.The SFU men stood third with 535 points. The Clan women were third behind the University of Nevada-Reno, who ran away with it on 1,388.5 points, followed by San Diego with

732 and Simon Fraser with 390. Five SFU swimmers achieved NCAA ‘B’ standards in 14 races, making themselves eligible to swim the event at NCAA nationals if selected. Hernandez won the 400-yard individual medley (IM) and was third in the 200 freestyle on Saturday. But he hit the mark again on the last day of competition, setting an SFU all-time record in the 200yard backstroke. A sophomore, Hernandez finished second in a time of 1:47.60, beating the SFU record of 1:47.73 set by Gabriel Lee last season. SFU’s Jayden Cole touched the wall in sixth place in 1:52.42. Hernandez went on to place fifth in the 100-yard freestyle later that night in a time of 45.60, in the Afinal. Two SFU records were broken during the competition.When Lawrance, a freshman, placed fifth in the women’s 400-yard IM (4.25.72) Saturday, she broke Carmen Nam’s school record of 4:25.95, set in 2015. The next day Jessie Gibson swam a very strong 200-yard backstroke, earning her a fifth-place finish in 2:02.49.

Senior Meaghan Frenks came in fifth in the 200-yard breaststroke with a time of 2:20.83, crushing her prelim time by three seconds. In the 200-yard breaststroke on the men’s side,Woinoski placed sixth in 2:07.7, followed by Thomas Lychy in 10th. The Clan’s distance swimmers racked up the points in the 1650yard freestyle as Kristen Olvet placed sixth with a great finish of 17:20.21, and Lawrance followed in 11th place. On the men’s side, SFU swimmers secured second and third place with Woinoski and Mackenzie Hamill posting times of 15:42.04 and 15;45.64, respectively. Lawrance continued the night with an A-final swim in the 200yard butterfly, placing fifth in 2:03.67, while Alicia Kan swam in the C-final, finishng 18th. On the men’s side, New Westminster native Amar Fejzic touched the wall in second place in a 1:50.65, two seconds faster than his morning swim in the 200-yard butterfly. The Husky Invitational was the Clan’s last swim meet of 2017, as they head to training camp in Arizona later this month.Their next swim meet will be in late January.

Along the boards: The Vancouver Northeast Chiefs’ Justin Scott, at right, battles the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds’ Emmett Garrett last month. Scott scored the game winner on Saturday, as the Chiefs edged the Thompson Blazers 5-3.

BC Home Sales Forecast to Decline Again Next Year Rising interest rates and a tough mortgage stress test will combine to reduce home sales in the province next year, according to a forecast issued November 28 by the BC Real Estate Association (BCREA).

Attached Detached

“Housing demand across the province will face increasing headwinds in 2018,” said Cameron Muir, BCREA’s chief economist. “A rising interest rate environment combined with more stringent mortgage stress tests will reduce household purchasing power and erode housing affordability. Given the rapid rise in home prices over the past few years, the effect of these factors will likely be magnified.”

Home prices still rising Home prices across BC are not expected to decline next year, but average price rises will be less steep than they were in in 2015 and 2016’s hot markets. Residential resale prices in BC are forecast to be 3.1% higher this year than last year, at an average of $712,300, and to rise a further 4.6% to $745,300 in 2018.

MEDIAN SALE PRICE**

The association predicted that, following BC home sales falling by 8.8% in 2017 compared with last year, resale transactions will decline a further 10.4% in 2018, to around 91,700 units sold across the whole year. BCREA pointed out that the 10-year average for home sales in the province is 84,700 units a year, and said that “strong economic and demographic fundamentals are supporting elevated housing demand.” However, it added that there were two key factors that will bring home sales down to between 2014 and 2015 levels.

$550,000 $1,450,000

TOP SALE PRICE*** Attached Detached However, the BCREA’s pricerise predictions for next year vary considerably across the province, with Greater Vancouver’s average home prices expected to rise 5.5% in 2018, but Victoria’s just 1.4%. The BCREA pointed to the neardecade low of housing inventory as a key driver in recent price increases. The report said, “The imbalance between supply and demand has been largely responsible for rapidly rising home prices.” But it added, “The combination of weakening consumer demand and a surge in new home completions next year is expected to induce more balanced market conditions, producing less upward pressure on home prices.”

Greater Vancouver home sales strong The BCREA’s forecast came just

days before the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver issued its monthly market update for November 2016’s sales activity. There were 2,795 home sales in Greater Vancouver last month, a 26.2% increase from the 2,214 sales of November 2016. It’s a 7.5% fall from the spike of activity seen in October this year, but the sales total is high for November, at 17% higher than the 10-year average for the month. The composite benchmark price for all home types combined across the Greater Vancouver region broke another new record, now at $1,046,900. This is a 14% increase over November 2016 and a slight 0.4% rise compared with October 2017.

REMEMBRNCES OBITUARIES

CARTWRIGHT, Thomas Agnew October 15, 1926 to November 22, 2017 Tom was born 91 years ago, in London, England to a family that valued music, art, history, and eccentricities while maintaining their strong British values. He was sent to Canada in 1940 to get him away from the relentless bombing of London in WW2, which had of course fascinated him and propelled him to the roof tops to watch. He boarded with cousins in Cultus Lake and started high school in Chilliwack, where he met the love of his life, Joanne Ferguson. He graduated as the valedictorian and attended UBC briefly before enlisting in the RAF. He was posted to India and had a LOT of stories about his years there, where he became fluent in Urdu. Tom and Joanne were not to be separated by the war, or by continents, and they married in England in 1950, and set sail back to Canada. In Canada Tom worked at a variety of jobs, including varnish maker, potato chip maker, burger flipper, and real estate agent, all while attending UBC, to become a teacher. He finished his BA degree and his Masters Degree over the years, part time. He mainly taught Grade 6 - at Marlborough, Seaforth, and Clinton Elementary Schools. He was a popular and inspirational teacher. He retired after 30 years of teaching, at age 60. He and Joanne built their ocean front home on Salt Spring Island, with a stunning view that each of them loved and looked at until the day they died. Tom and Joanne spent their retirement years on Salt Spring, enjoying the unique and charming Salt Spring culture, volunteering at the library, and participating in the Trail and Nature Club. They supported environmental causes and the arts. They were extreme conservationists, so that any visitors had to be immediately instructed on toilet flushing (not so much), garbage disposal (there was to be no garbage) and water use (as little as possible). Tom also practiced his hobby of food price comparisons and always watched for sales. As a result he had a huge reserve of canned and frozen foods. Tom was a beloved husband, father, grandfather, friend, and teacher. He was a philanthropist: ever frugal when spending on himself, he donated generously to environmental, animal welfare, and health related causes. He was a world traveler, and life-long learner of other languages. He and Joanne took up skiing in their 40s and he reluctantly gave it up at age 86. He liked to ski fast and drive fast, and we are so grateful he went peacefully as a result of heart failure and not in a horrible multi-vehicle accident, as many had predicted. He could fix anything, and given the basement full of everything they had ever owned, he had an inexhaustible supply of spare parts. Having made a recent survey of the basement, we’ve concluded he could have survived a zombie apocalypse in conjunction with a massive solar flare. Tom loved gardening, cooking, and socializing. He was a friendly, kind, and compassionate man. He had infinite patience. He had original thoughts and ideas and could converse on topics from physics and astronomy to literature. He was a humble man and a world class mumbler. He loved to gently mock (behind their backs) officious and self-important twits. He literally couldn’t kill a fly. They had to be rescued. Tom loved jazz, swing, r&b, and southern rock, particularly Lynyrd Skynyrd and the Allman Brothers. He was a terrific dancer and figure skater. He was smart, well educated, observant, irreverent, and flat out hilarious. We loved him so much. Tom was predeceased by his parents, Herbert and Henrietta Cartwright, his sister Mary, and his beloved Joanne, 4 years ago. He is survived by his loving children and grandchildren: John (Judy); Jane (Alf Kempf) and Madeline (Cody) and Molly; Catherine (Des Doyle), and Thomas (Tammy), Patrick (Maddy), Jacqueline (Max), and Caroline; and Robert. He is also survived by his cousin Barbara and life-long friends Caroline and Ralph. A reception will be held at Tom’s house at 235 Monteith Road, Salt Spring Island, on December 9th, from 2 pm onwards; and in Burnaby, on December 16th at 2 pm at John and Judy’s house at 4366 Portland Street, Burnaby. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a number of animal welfare and Salt Spring conservation charities listed on the Haywards Funeral Memorial page. http://www.haywardsfuneral.com

WARNE, Hilary December 1946 - August 2017 This was our Hilary: A woman who very definitely knew her own mind; an avid, eclectic reader and an extremely intelligent woman. Hil loved art galleries, jazz and classical music and an evening topped off with a homemade gourmet meal. She was a mixture of a caring friend and an aloof strong willed woman. Above all she was very private. She loved a good laugh but saw the dark side of our world as well. Sometimes a little too much. But, if you looked closely you could often see an Irish twinkle in her eyes and, when you’d least expect it, she’d slip an “argy-bargy” or a “my giddy aunt” into an otherwise intense discussion. When she fell in love and married it was to her dear Desi Varga. It seemed a good match for the two of them later in life. That was our Hil: wife, niece, cousin, neighbour and friend. We miss her.

THOMSEN, Barbara (nee Simpson)

December 7, 1945 - November 19, 2017 I could not stay another day, To love, to laugh, to work or play; Tasks left undone must stay that way. And if my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. Celebration of Life will be held on December 9th at 2:00pm at Glenbrooke Park Amenities Centre, 76 Jamieson Court, New Westminster.
