Pink wave in city

GOTTA BE ME

Leadership students from Burnaby elementary schools donned pink shirts and mobbed a Burnaby board of education meeting Monday, dancing to a Kiera Weathers remix of Des’ree’s You Gotta Be as a prelude to Pink Shirt Day today. The students will be at Metropolis at Metrotown performing random acts of kindness … and maybe even dancing a little more.

A pink wave is preparing to sweep through a Burnaby mall this month in the name of kindness and antibullying. Today (Feb. 28) is Pink Shirt Day, an annual day of solidarity against bullying, and Burnaby students will be out in full force, making nice at the Metropolis at Metrotown mall. For five years now, leadership students from Maywood Community School have donned pink shirts and descended on the mall with kind intentions, and Metropolis has helped out by pitching in shirts and giving students $10 gift cards to hand out as random acts of kindness. This year, however, the ranks of the pink-shirted

will swell nine-fold as nine other elementary schools join in the fun – and good deeds. “We are so excited to see our partnership between Metropolis and Burnaby

schools grow with student leaders from 10 schools spreading kindness on Pink Shirt Day,” said Maywood Community School principal KathrynYamamoto. “Spreading kindness builds

a community of generosity and care.The hope for our students is that they remember that moment when someone accepted their act of kindness, so they will continue to follow this path

of generosity.” Community school coordinator Gayle Beavil, who started the initiative when she worked at Maywood, agreed. “We wanted the kids to

experience the positive feelings that giving gives us, as the giver, not the receiver. We wanted this feeling to stay with the kids so that Continued on page 8

Burnaby holds tax hike to 1.5 per cent Last time it was below two per cent was 1.97 per cent in 2014 – which, like 2018, was a municipal election year By Grant Granger

editorial@burnabynow.com

Property taxes in Burnaby in 2018 will rise by 1.5 per cent. That’s about half the average increase of the last three years and half what the hike is anticipated to

be in each of the next four years. A provisional budget was approved by council Monday that included the 1.5 per cent increase. The last time it was below two per cent was 1.97 per cent in 2014, which, like 2018, was a municipal election year.

“I don’t think we’ve seen a 1.5 per cent increase in a number of years in Burnaby.We worked hard to get it down,” said Coun. Pietro Calendino, who figured the increase would be at the low end of tax hikes in Greater Vancouver. “A lot of that is the increase (in rev-

Cars slip sliding into poles

Deadly gas: City lab should have acted sooner

By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

One pedestrian was taken to hospital after apparently being hit by a Hummer, but most people avoided serious injury during the numerous crashes Burnaby firefighters attended during Friday’s snowstorm. The big dump of snow created mayhem on Metro Vancouver roads, and the Burnaby Fire Department responded to 18 crashes – 13 between 10:45 a.m. and

1 p.m. alone. “A lot of them were on the hills, like Royal Oak hill, Beta and Lougheed, Canada Way,” assistant fire Chief Barry Mawhinney said. “Weather always plays a part in how many MVAs we go to. … This is probably what you’re going to get when it snows.” Most of Friday’s collisions involved vehicles sliding into poles or into one another, and firefighters worked to ensure struck poles didn’t create electrical hazards

and vehicles were safe to drive. “Even if the airbag hasn’t gone off, you’ve got to look at the amount of damage because, you start driving the vehicle again, they could go off, which is always a concern,” Mawhinney said. While most incidents didn’t result in significant injury, according to the assistant fire chief, one crash on Sixth Street saw a Hummer come to rest against a pole after apparently striking a pedestrian to the ground.

A Burnaby lab was fined nearly $17,000 last month after its employees were exposed to a deadly gas in May 2017. A chemical reaction in a sump caused the release of hydrogen sulfide – also known as sewer gas – at Agat Laboratories Ltd. at 8600 Glenlyon Parkway on May 5, according to WorkSafeBC. The distinctive rotten eggs smell of the poisonous and flam-

mable gas was first detected by workers in the organics lab area of the building at about 11:30 a.m., according to WorkSafe inspection reports. There was no directed evacuation of the building, according to WorkSafe, but workers were told they could go home at 3 p.m. “The delay in making this determination failed to protect workers, and as a result some workers reported headaches, Continued on page 9

Carport ﬁre sends man to hospital Burnaby firefighters made light work of a carport fire Friday that sent one person to hospital for smoke inhalation. Firefighters were called to 7971 Nelson Ave. at

about 2:20 p.m., according to assistant fire Chief Barry Mawhinney. They reported flames in the carport and doused the blaze with water from one of the trucks, which had all

been chained for use in Friday’s snowstorm, Mawhinney said. The fire was contained to the carport, but smoke got into the house, and a male resident was taken to hospi-

Property tax hike is 1.5 per cent Continued from page 1 medical services tax is an additional requirement of the cities of roughly four million dollars, so it will impact our bottom line for 2019.We are able to take advantage of a lower rate this year, but not be able to have the 1.5 next year,” said Johnston. The property tax increase in 2017 was 2.95 per cent, 2.65 per cent in 2016 and 2.98 per cent in 2015. The provisional budget pegs the 1.5 per cent property tax increase at translating into a property tax bill of $1,735 for the average residential home, an increase of $25.59 over 2017. But it also anticipates the increase for the following four years will likely be in the three per cent range. What a homeowner has to pay depends on what the property’s assessment is. If it’s assessed value has gone up more than the average of homes in Burnaby, the bill will be higher than

1.5 per cent, less for those whose increase in value is below the Burnaby average. According to B.C. Assessment, the value of the average residential home increased by 7.13 per cent, with the higher jumps in

the condominium and townhouse markets. “People need to understand that, if the value of their house has gone up an extreme amount, they will see an increase in their

tax,” said Calendino. The city expects total revenue for 2018 to be $730 million. It has budgeted expenses of $678 million with $485 million going to the operating budget and $193 million to the capital plan. The report says the operating budget focuses on maintaining previous levels of service, but there’s extra money in it to improve the Burnaby RCMP detachment administrative services, enhance parks, and add staff to handle all the development requests. Some of the new initiatives include enhanced park safety, including security cameras, improved trail lighting, better signage and a pilot bike patrol program. The city issued $1.05 billion in building permits in 2017, exceeding the previous high of $879 million in 2015. Coun. Paul McDonell said all the development Burnaby is experiencing has meant the city will be

increasing staff to keep up, and it will be paid by development fees. It also means more density bonus money for the city, which can go into projects such as a new arena in South Burnaby and starting plans to replace C.G. Brown Pool. “Because of the growth that’s going on now, we are able to replace some of these older facilities,” said McDonell, who also pointed out the bonuses can not be put toward the city’s operating expenses. In the report, Mayor Derek Corrigan said Burnaby’s investment portfolio reached $1.3 billion in 2017, providing the city revenues with investment income of $44.5 million. The provisional budget is a five-year document that also outlines expected numbers for up to 2022. Public input on it is being received until March 21 with the final plan to be formally adopted by council on May 15.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Bullying comes in many forms and mediums Some may find it hard to believe that something as seemingly innocuous as a photo on a cellphone, a tweet or a comment on Facebook can amount to much of anything. For those of us who have been on the planet for more than a few decades, those activities may represent a chance for your friends to see what you ate for dinner or a

quick snap of your pet’s latest antics. But, used maliciously, those methods of communication can erode a young person’s confidence and self-esteem to the point of complete despair. It wasn’t that long ago when we thought of bullying as name-calling or a physical altercation.Those activities weren’t OK then, and they’re still not now.

But the definition and scope of bullying has changed just as quickly as technology has allowed it to. And, worse yet, when something goes online there’s a very real chance it will stay there – perhaps not forever, but long enough for real damage to be done. We can’t rely on any one group to fix the issue. It’s

going to take a collective effort from parents, community leaders, school staff, coaches, peer supports and everyone in between. Parents need to remain vigilant and curious – maintaining frequent dialogue and noticing any odd behaviours with their kids. Wearing pink shirts once a year is commend-

able, and the action started by a young man several years ago has led to an amazing movement. Some schools have even started extending the day to once a month or even once a week to keep the anti-bullying message top of mind. We are absolutely sure more people are aware bullying is unacceptable today than they were a decade ago.

However, we live in a society that still says “Nice people finish last,” and we still hear parents in hockey rinks screaming for their kids to wallop the other players. We live in a world that resonates with mixed messages. Let’s hope the anti-bullying message can be heard above all of the others.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

B.C. NDP still searching for the ‘sweet spot’

The NDP’s first budget in 18 years included a 30-point action plan to make housing more affordable, but the budget document itself seems to indicate even the government does not expect much movement on housing prices any time soon. There is a new speculation tax on empty homes, a big boost on taxes on expensive (i.e. in excess of $3 million) homes, and higher taxes for foreign buyers. The government is also planning to build thousands of social housing units and more student housing over the next few years.

… delivering on that issue is going to be a challenge

But even with all this, the government still expects to make $100 million more on property transfer tax transactions in the coming year and another $22 million the following year, which suggest high prices will still be around for a while. Moreover, buried in a table in the budget that includes more than a dozen economic indicators lies this intriguing statistic: housing starts are forecast to decline almost 27 per cent in the coming year followed by a further reduction of six per cent the following year

(that’s right: “decline”). Even with the government’s significant investment in public housing, a decline in housing starts will not address the supply side of the house price equation. All of which brings us to the idea of what, exactly, is meant by “affordability.” Finance Minister Carole James says she hopes housing prices decline because of the measures she has introduced, telling reporters “we need to see a moderation.” However, what constitutes “moderation”? The average cost of a detached home in Metro Vancouver currently hovers around $1.7 million. A drop of, say, 25 per cent in prices (this would constitute a major downturn) would turn that home into a $1.3-million property. I am not sure that puts it any closer towards being affordable for most people. Even a 25 per cent decline in condominium prices would have them average out to $500,000, still out of the reach of many people. This illustrates the tricky challenge facing James and the NDP.The party was elected because it championed the issue of affordability during last spring’s election, but delivering on that issue is going to be a challenge, at least when it comes to housing prices. Of course, the NDP has to take care their package of housing measures do not cause a real, prolonged and Continued on page 7

Which Mr. Burnaby was it?

Researchers writing a book about Burnaby’s pioneer days uncovered an account that contradicted the longheld notion the city had been named after Robert Burnaby. According to a 1920s handwritten history by Joseph Simmance, editor of the old weekly newspaper called the Burnaby Post, Burnaby Lake was named after Robert, but the municipality was actually named after famed Victorian adventurer Col. Frederick Burnaby, who had never set foot in Canada.

Opinionnow B.C. budget shows why voting matters

voting system that elects who we vote for. Iain Macanulty, Burnaby

Dear Editor: I’m writing in support of last week’s NDP budget. I liked it because of the priority on making life a bit easier for people, particularly with the proposed spending on child care and housing. I’m also writing because I think this budget was a clear demonstration of how important voting is. This was a very different budget from any we’ve seen from the B.C. Liberals. Well, of course it’s different, you may be thinking – it’s a different party in power. But that’s my point. It’s a different party in power because of how we voted. The budget is different because we voted for it. That’s why voting is important. Quite a lot of people don’t agree with this. They think that all politicians are the same; one’s as bad as the other; it doesn’t matter which party gets in or who we get to represent us locally, and therefore there’s no real point in voting. All you’re doing by voting is legitimizing the powers that be. But this budget shows that who you vote for makes a difference. That’s why I hope we’ll get proportional representation in the upcoming referendum. That would make sure our legislature is a better reflection of how we vote and would eliminate the kinds of distortion we usually get with our current system, where a party with a minority of the vote can form a majority government. The budgets and the legislation that we get are decided by who we elect. We should use a

Housing prices aren’t going to drop too fast

Continued from page 6 steep decline in prices.The Bank of Canada has estimated that a 25 per cent price drop would put one-in-four homeowners in Metro Vancouver “underwater”, which means their property would be worth less than the mortgage they hold on it. Such a scenario could lead to economic havoc, perhaps even causing a recession. Aside from housing, James’ budget tackled the affordability issue in other areas: eventually eliminating MSP premiums, making child care cheaper and easier to obtain, increasing seniors’ health care, and boosting social services. However, all that is low-hanging fruit compared to the complex and challenging issue of housing affordability. James is no doubt hoping her budget measures, over the next several years, will help bring housing prices down to a “sweet spot” – lower, but not catastrophically low. In the meantime, however, it does not look like she thinks that is going to happen any time soon. Her own budget document seems to reflect that view. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

While brightening someone’s day by giving them a $10 gift card and a kind note is rewarding, however, Beavil said organizers of the Metropolis initiative have always encouraged kids to perform other acts of kindness as well. “We also made sure they knew that giving does not need to be attached to buying things; we made sure they were prepared to do ‘free’ acts of kindness, also, such as holding doors for folks, offering to carry their bags and smiling and saying hello,” she said. “These are acts we can always do, whether we have a gift card or not.” Before the event, for example, all the schools involved will have the option of writing encouraging, motivating or inspirational notes on pink slips of paper for the leadership students to hand out at the mall along with the gift cards.

Since then, the idea has grown each year, with worldwide support and participation. Countries across the globe are now organizing anti-bullying fundraisers of their own, including Japan, New Zealand, China, Panama, and numerous others.

City now ‘High-risk’ safety violations

Continued from page 3 puking and watery eyes,” states a June 22 report. An inspection after the incident found the lab wasn’t equipped with monitors to detect H2S levels and didn’t have a plan in place to respond to the release of hazardous chemicals, contrary to the Workers Compensation Act. WorkSafe called these “high-risk” safety violations.

The inspection found the lab had contravened the act in a number of other areas as well, including not immediately reporting the incident to WorkSafe, not conducting drills to prepare workers for such emergencies, not maintaining first aid records of workers’ symptoms during the incident and not adequately training and instructing workers to ensure their

When, where

FAMILIES NEEDED More foster families in the Lower Mainland are needed as long-term foster caregivers are aging and retiring, B.C.’s Ministry of Children and Family Development says. PHOTO MINISTRY OF CHILDREN AND FAMILY DEVELOPMENT with developmental issues is a nobrainer. “For me, it’s not an option to say ‘No’ to a child,” the Maple Ridge resident said. “I had to learn to be their teacher so they could become functioning adults.” March 1, Landers will be on a panel in Coquitlam to talk about her fostering experiences and its subsequent rewards — with the aim to recruit new foster caregivers in the Lower Mainland. Lister, who also plans to attend the event at Douglas College, which is sponsored in part by the Ministry of Children and Family Development, said social workers try to find the best foster care matches, and rarely separate siblings. “We get a lot of support from them,” Lister said of the provin-

cial staff, “and we also get a lot of satisfaction knowing that we have made a difference in a child’s life.” She added, “We keep in touch with these kids afterward and that’s the success of it.They come

back to our home and they’re welcomed with open arms. It’s reallife relationships and it all started with giving them a safe place to land when they needed it.”

Foster facts: • As of December 2017, the number of B.C. children and youth in government care was 6,804 — down from 7,934 in March 2014. • The need for foster caregivers is on the rise as the current number of long-term foster parents decreases with age and retirement. • Foster care families receive basic monthly payments: $803.81 per child for kids aged 11 and under; $909.95 per child for teens aged 12 to 19. • B.C. has a fostering hotline for caregivers: 1-800-663-9999. • Online resources include: fosteringconnections.ca, bcfosterparents.ca and fostercaregiversbc.ca.

City now Burnaby residents offer input on poverty reduction strategy Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

Burnaby residents were given an opportunity recently to discuss what B.C.’s first poverty reduction strategy should look like. The province held a roundtable at the Firefighters Banquet and Conference Centre on Jan. 29, one of 20-plus meetings taking place across B.C. to gather feedback. “The state of poverty is actually quite desperate and has been getting worse for a long time,” said Janet Routledge, Burnaby North MLA, of what she heard during the meeting. “People had some really good ideas about what the solutions are.This was really impor-

tant to me as an MLA because this is what the point of the consultation is, to hear the real stories from the frontline.” B.C. has the highest poverty rate in Canada, with 678,000 British Columbians living in poverty, according to a government press release. Meanwhile, 118,000 of B.C.’s poor are children in low-income families and about 64,000 are seniors. Approximately 40 per cent of those living in poverty are low-income, working adults. According to the latest homeless count, held last year, Burnaby saw a 19 per cent jump in its homeless population when compared to 2014.Volunteers counted 69 homeless people on March 8, up from 58.

Add your input Didn’t attend the meeting? You can submit feedback online at tinyurl. com/BBYForm until the end of March.

The 24-hour snapshot showed that 49 of the 69 were adults who were unsheltered.That means they were either couch surfing or living outside, including in alleys, doorways, parkades, parks and in cars.The other 20 sheltered individuals were staying at an extreme weather shelter, a transition house or a safe house. (Burnaby does not have a permanent homeless shel-

ter.) “We believe poverty is so multi-faceted and so longterm that one does need an overarching strategy that looks at all of the causes of poverty and the solutions and in an integrated way. You need goals and you need timetables and you need benchmarks, and that’s what we’re going to offer,” Routledge said. The MLA added she anticipates an announcement on modular housing for the city “very shortly.” The housing initiative is part of the B.C. government’s promise to build 2,000 homes over two years throughout the province. The units will have 24/7 staffing and will support people who are homeless.

Artiﬁcial intelligence meets fast food at new burger joint Grant Granger

ggranger@burnabynow.com

Aryan Motedayeni is banking on burgers, California chic and creative artificial intelligence being an appetizing combo to the tech-savvy students of Simon Fraser University. When he was an SFU computer science student, Motedayeni believed the campus could use a good burger joint.When CaliBurger opened in downtownVancouver in June 2016, he went to check it out. He loved that it had spots to wirelessly charge cellphones. A bigWii-like video Funwall that allowed customers to play games while waiting in line was pretty cool too. “It was just little things like that that made it appeal to me,” said Motedayeni, 22. “I really liked the product. I went online to see if they were offering franchise opportunities, and they

were, so I filled out an application.” Although the downtown outlet recently closed, Motedayeni’s, complete with a nine-foot Funwall, opened in the Cornerstone Mews at UniverCity on Feb. 15. “It’s been very busy.We opened during the middle of reading week, and we have had huge rushes coming in,” said Motedayeni. The store will soon have self-ordering kiosks. On top of building their California-style burgers at the kiosks, facial recognition software will help customers who sign up build their loyalty accounts. It will also keep track of how customers have customized their condiments and orders in the past, minimizing the number of buttons they have to push to get their personalized preferences. “There’s nothing like that on the mountain. I’ve seen videos of the one they use in the Pasadena (California)

Figure painting with Chinese-style ink is the centrepiece of a new exhibition by a Burnaby artist. The Amelia Douglas Gallery at Douglas College’s New West campus is presenting Etherealize, ink wash figures by Alex Wang (Wang Zhihao), from March 1 to April 21. “The use of brushwork has always inspired my artistic creation,” said Wang. “Water can make the brush soft and moist.When mixed with ink, it shows a change of colour from dark to light grey, and a certain tone is also produced.” Wang creates his work on Xuan paper, or Chinese rice paper. “When I paint on Xuan paper, I always want to control the direction of the ink and water, but they always surprise me,” he said. “This kind of surprise is what I want. But it is unexpected.These effects can only appear once, and they are wonderful.” At the opening reception, attendees will be able to see Wang at work. “We will have a professional life-drawing model present during the opening reception, and Alex will be

demonstrating figure painting with Chinese-style ink on rice paper,” said Krista Eide, arts events officer with the gallery. “So, for artists, or those curious about this style of art, it’s a good opportunity to watch and learn.” The opening reception is Thursday, March 1 from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m., with refreshments, live music and a cash bar.Wang will also host a second painting demonstration on Saturday, March 3 at 3:30 p.m. For more information, see www.douglascollege.ca/ etherealize.

Our heart. Our Soul. This is our story…. Bom Dia! One afternoon in 1987, two friends, Fernando and Robbie, went for lunch at a humble Portuguese eatery. As their meal ended, they knew they’d tasted something that had to be shared. PERi-PERi was about to make an incredible journey – from Rosettenville, Johannesburg to the world. Our PERi-PERi Chillies Our tiny red PERi-PERi chillies are unique to Nando’s. Our heart and our heat, they’re a very special type of African Bird’s Eye Chilli.

It’s something we’re proud of. What warms our hearts even more is the difference this has made to people’s lives. At Nando’s, there’s something for everyone. From deliciously subtle to feeling the fire, our PERi-PERi bastes tease your taste buds with flavour first – heat second!

editorial@burnabynow.com

A trip to the James Cowan Theatre at the Shadbolt Centre right now will probably be the most entertaining visit to the “Barber” you can make. Burnaby Lyric Opera’s current mounting of Rossini’s The Barber of Seville features both good voices and good comedic acting. Bass Michael McKinnon’s voice and verve never falter as the irascible and scheming Dr. Bartolo, who’s determined to win the charming heroine Rosina for himself. Tamar Simon, as the petite soprano with the powerful, agile voice, is just as determined to marry tenor Thomas Lamont, whom she thinks is poor student Lindoro but who is really

Count Almaviva. Lamont has not only a strong, clear tenor, but a flair for comedy, switching to an irritating nasal whine as he impersonates a doctor. Baritone Jason Cook as Figaro, the local barber, then comes in to organize all the resulting chaos. Cook sings Figaro’s famous aria about his business and local importance excellently with appropriate brio. Lauren Solomon, mezzo-soprano, as a pert maid and Brandon Thornhill, bass-baritone, as a singing teacher, easily match the high singing standards of the show The magic of the production is aided by music director Angus Kellett’s musical accompaniment on the piano, which showcases the voices, and designer Richard Berg’s minimalistic set, which allows for lots of stage action while still creat-

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Four Burnaby students who’ve overcome adversity will have extra money to spend on post-secondary studies after earning Horatio Alger Association of Canada scholarships. Burnaby North Second-

ary students Rachel Cha and Celin Cheung; and Byrne Creek student Angelyna Mintz were among 80 recipients picked from thousands of applicants from across Canada to win $5,000 Horatio Alger Canadian Scholarships. Cariboo Hill Secondary student Rickesh Mysuria, meanwhile, was one of five recipients from across the

country to win a $10,000 Horatio Alger National Entrepreneurial Scholarship. Horatio Alger scholarships are awarded annually to high school students in financial need who have overcome significant adversity while demonstrating strength of character, strong academics, a commitment to pursuing higher education and a desire to contrib-

ute to society. LORAN SCHOLARSHIP A Moscrop student was one of 88 finalists picked out of more than 5,000 candidates vying for $100,000 Loran Scholarships this year. Jeffery Peng and his 87 fellow finalists were invited to Toronto Feb. 2 and 3 for the final round of selections,

which included a barrage of panel and one-on-one interviews. Peng was not among the 34 picked for Loran Awards, but he did earn a $5,000 finalist award. Peng was a driving force behind his school’s Leo Club becoming one of two Leo Clubs in Canada to earn a Leo Club Excellence Award last year. Peng is the second Mo-

scrop student in as many years to make it as a Loran Award finalist. Last year Julia Handra also qualified. Loran Scholarships are awarded annually, not on marks alone, but also the “promise of character: integrity, courage, compassion, determination and a high level of personal autonomy,” according to the award website.

Tumblers hit new heights Kyle Carragher reached impressive heights and picked up two firstplace results at the recent Aaron Johnson Memorial Cup and Trampoline Provincial Cup in Burnaby. Hosted by his home club, Shasta, Carragher carted off top score in both the individual trampoline and double-mini events in the senior national division. Also picking up a gold was Sam Smith in individual trampoline, while Mario Bruno placed second. In the junior division, Maja Bonham topped the individual trampoline and joined forces with teammate Jane Harrigan to win the synchro trampoline event. Harrigan would place third in individual trampoline. Posting the second-best score for individual trampoline was Byrne Creek student Declan McLean. In Level 6 women, Gracyn Hayhurst won the individual trampoline event and stood second after the double-mini. She also teamed with Clare Hardjowasito to finish fourth in synchro. Coming in third overall in double-mini was Hannah Brown. Adin Brenner registered the top mark in individual trampoline, while Cameron Atwell stood second. Jordan Karwacki enjoyed the top score in Level 5’s double-mini, and placed third in individual trampoline. Standing third overall in double-mini was Liam Armes, after securing a fifth-place result in individual trampoline. Mariko Abe-Zeigler came first in the Level 5 17+ division’s double-mini event, and picked up the fourth-best marks in individual trampoline. In Level 5’s 16-under doublemini, Shasta’s Eleni Papkyriakopoulos finished third overall, and alongside Julie Anderson recorded a third result in synchro. Anderson would collect gold in individual trampoline. Finishing first in double-mini was Maveric Romanuik.

Bulldogs bullish in taking second title Senior guard Martin Djunga, bench depth lead Byrne Creek past McMath in final By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

A powerplay off the bench is usually something called for in hockey. But when it came crunch time and fouls threw a wrench into their best-laid plans, Burnaby’s Byrne Creek senior boys basketball team got a boost from the sidelines. The Bulldogs got timely contributions late in the game from the troika of Daniel Cion, Aaron Cruz and Tyrell Whitebear en route to a 73-63 victory over McMath in the Lower Mainland 3-A championship final. It earned Byrne Creek its second consecutive Mainland banner, a feat that head coach Bal

Dhillon adroitly credited to a complete team effort. “You know a team that good (as McMath) is going to make a run and you’ve got to continue to execute what we think is a good plan,” said Dhillon. “There were some adjustments made in the fourth, but it wasn’t the coaches, it was the players playing well.” With starters Majok Deng and Bithow Wan sidelined due to fouls in the fourth quarter and McMath creeping within eight points and three minutes remaining, Cion, Cruz and Whitebear presented a strong presence to withstand the Richmond school’s rally. Whitebear made a couple of key stops, Cion recorded three big blocks and Cruz delivered a

momentum-killing trey – just as they usually do according to their coach. “It was just nice that they got to do it on a bigger stage, because they have done it this season, they’ve done it all season,” said Dhillon. It all came after Byrne appeared to have the game in hand, taking a 16-point lead thanks to a ninepoint run from tourney MVP Martin Djunga in a two-minute span. McMath, however, fired back and came within eight points. With six-foot-eight Deng and sixfoot-two Wan fouling out, Dhillon called in his subs, who delivered a timely tour de force. Djunga cashed in a game-high

29 points while Deng chipped in 11. Contributing 10 points each were Cruz and Wan. Both Deng and Wan were named to the first all-star team for their performances during the tournament. “Every game is going to present a different challenge and you have to find a way to adapt,” Dhillon said of the fourth quarter fouls to his starters. “Our guys knew that, they know how much faith I have in them and we have a lot of belief in one another.” There’s only one bigger stage, and the team will spend the current week preparing for just that – the provincial championships. The draw for the B.C.s will be done this weekend.

Cadets a gateway to learning how to biathlon BCIT student among newcomers to two-pronged sport that tests endurance, skill and speed

By Mario Bartel

editorial@burnabynow.com

You might have reached for your remote when biathlon came on the TV coverage of the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Jesserin Tang reached for her notepad. For the 18-year-old BCIT student, the Olympic biathlon competition presented a rare opportunity to watch and learn from the sport’s best athletes; it’s not like

we have Biathlon Night in Canada on television every Saturday. Tang has been part of a program to introduce and foster the sport to air cadets for three of the five years she’s been a member of the 777 Neptune squadron in Port Coquitlam. Recently,Tang and another member of the squadron, 13-yearold Athena Cai, joined more than 80 other athletes at a provincial competition at Mt.Washington in Comox in hopes of achieving

But it’s far from easy. “I didn’t expect it to be so hard,” she said. “You get tired when you’re skiing and you have to control your breathing when you reach the range.” Tang’s coach, Lawrence Goh, said top biathletes are able to focus and slow their heartbeat after the physical exertion of skiing.

Win streak buys Cadets trained for biathlon for free SFU playoff spot

Three straight home wins and some luck elsewhere earned the Simon Fraser University women’s basketball team a spot at the Great Northwest Athletic Conference’s championships. Behind last week’s dramatic 77-74 win over Montana State Billings, the Clan clinched the sixth seed for the conference playoffs. Sophomore centre Tayla Jackson and freshman guard Jessica Jones tallied 16 points apiece, while Tia Tsang chipped in 14 points. The team went 11-for-27

from beyond the three-point line, with a 46.7 per cent shooting percentage from the field. Earlier, SFU edged Western Washington 79-77 in another must-win tilt. Jackson counted 19 points. The luck came when Montana State Billings topped Western Washington, while Seattle Pacific defeated Concordia. The Clan will face No. 3 Seattle Pacific on Thursday in Anchorage, Alaska.The winner faces No. 2 AlaskaAnchorage.

Seniors night for SFU

As is tradition, the last home game of the regular season is a chance to honour the graduating players, and SFU’s men’s hockey team is planning to do just that this Saturday (March 3, 7 p.m.) at the Bill Copeland Sports Centre. It’s a must-win contest for SFU, which hopes to secure home-ice advantage for the B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League’s semifinals, beginning next week. A total of six players, including captain Brandon Tidy, are celebrating their final year.Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children and seniors, while minor hockey players receive free admission if they wear their jersey.

Continued from page 25 “You need a lot of time to learn that skill.” Goh, who’s been guiding the biathlon program at 777 squadron for five years, said the sport is a natural fit for one of the aims of cadets – to promote physical fitness in youth aged 12 to 18 as they develop skills that might interest them in the sea, land and air activities of the Canadian Armed Forces. But practising a sport in the temperate Lower Mainland that requires a good ground covering of snow in proximity to a shooting range comes with its own challenges. Goh’s team skis at Cypress Mountain and hones their shooting skills at the Port Coquitlam and District Hunting and Fishing Club.The two aspects are only able to come together on ventures to the Whistler Olympic Park. In the meantime, Goh has his team work on their strength and endurance by running laps around the track at Percy Perry stadium

TV has at least given her an idea of how much she has to learn. “I actually understand it a bit more and have a whole new appreciation for the sport,” she said. Goh hopes the exposure

that comes from the Games will attract newcomers to biathlon. Or at least reduce the glazed looks he gets when he tries to recruit cadets to his program. “We have to explain what biathlon is to them,” he said.

B.C Budget tackles real estate speculation T

he provincial government has delivered on its promise to curb real estate speculation in its B.C. Budget 2018 announcement. B.C. Finance Minister Carole James announced February 20 the province is expanding its foreign buyer tax to the Fraser Valley, Nanaimo, and Okanagan regions. The tax will be upped from its present rate of 15 per cent to 20 per cent, effective February 21. All homes over $3 million will see a property tax increase of 2 per cent, to 5 per cent in 2019. “[Affordable housing] starts with stabilizing the market and curbing demand,” James said. A new speculation tax is also coming into play beginning fall 2018. The tax targets foreign and domestic speculators who do not pay income tax in B.C., including those who leave their homes vacant. The tax will begin at 0.5 per cent of assessed property value in 2018 and rise to 2 per cent in 2019. The province also hopes to stave off speculation by closing real estate tax loopholes by requiring more compressive information regarding condo presales and beneficial ownership (sometimes referred to as ‘shadow ownership’). “B.C.’s real estate market should not be used as a stock market,” James said. “It should provide safe and secure homes for families, renters, students and seniors. That’s why we’re cracking down on speculators who distort our market.” A database will track presale condo assignments to ensure that those

intending to flip properties pay the required taxes each time the condo changes hands in the process. Requiring additional information regarding beneficial ownership and separate, specific land registry intends to do away with offshore companies and trusts that park capital in B.C.’s housing market while obscuring their identity.

THOMPSON, Thora “Amma” Kapitola Amma was our sunshine. She sang “I was born about ten thousand years ago, there’s nothing in this world that I don’t know”. She was extraordinary, she was a cheeky monkey, we adored her.

WALK−IN CLINIC Central Park Medical Clinic is pleased to announce that we now offer walk− in/same day appointment available from Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm starting March 5, 2018. 104−3965 Kingsway Burnaby, BC V5H 1Y8 Telephone#: 604−434−8781

She loved to sing, dance, have fun and eat chocolate but every day she made sure she made someone else’s day a little brighter. She is lovingly remembered by her daughters Janet, Diane and Karen, her “precious little darlings” Patricia (granddaughter) and Christopher (grandson) and very close cousins, nephews and nieces. Amma was predeceased much too early by her beloved husband Murdo Thompson and son-in-law Doug Webb, and outlived many close friends and relatives including her dear friend and sister-in-law Katie McAskill. Amma was of proud Icelandic decent and born on December 15, 1924 in Lundar, Manitoba. She often told people she was named after Thor, the God of Thunder. She grew up in Lundar, as a strong prairie woman, and moved to Winnipeg and then Vancouver in 1953 where she met and married Murdo. They made their home in North Burnaby. She spent her last days at Fellburn Care Centre in Burnaby where she had volunteered for decades and where her name is on wall for her years of service. She had been Burnaby’s Star Volunteer more than once. Amma resonated selflessness, compassion and kindness with a twinkle in her eye and a heavy dose of mischief. She turned strangers into friends and even when over ninety with a failing memory, reached out to others and was a warm and engaging conversationalist with a great sense of humour. You will always be in our hearts and in our pockets. Amma always wanted to “put up a party” and that is what we will do for her.
