POLITICS

Former MLA ponders run Although it’s been almost a year since Richard Lee lost his job, he’s still surveying the scene to figure out where to apply for his next position.

For 16 years he was the MLA for Burnaby North. He was first elected in 2001 as part of the decimation that nearly wiped the provincial NDP off the political map. In that election, the B.C. Liberals, led by Gordon Campbell, took all but two seats in the legislature. Lee went on to serve four terms. Although he was never appointed to cabinet by Campbell or his successor Christy Clark, Lee was given a couple of parliamentary secretary positions and named deputy speaker during his tenure.

But in last May’s election he was voted out of office, losing to Janet Routledge of the NDP. Lee said since then he’s been keeping an eye on the Burnaby political scene. He said he feels he has to because all of the city’s elected representation at the federal, provincial and municipal levels comes from the NDP, with the exception of federal Liberal Terry Beech in Burnaby North-Seymour.

“There’s no opposition now in Burnaby,” said Lee, 64. “To keep them accountable is important.”

Lee said he’s had some people ask if he’s going to run in the Oct. 20 civic election and encouraging him to do so.The inquiries have him contemplating the daunting task of taking on the NDP-based Burnaby Citizens Association, led by Mayor Derek Corrigan, who is in his 16th year in office and 31st year as a member of city council.The BCA has held a continuous majority on council since 1987, and for the last three terms has swept all council and board of education positions.

“It’s a big challenge,” said Lee. – Grant Granger, BurnabyNOW reporter

Resident: Pile driving causing tremors

By Grant Granger

editorial@burnabynow.com

A nearby resident is raising concerns pile driving at Kinder Morgan’s Westridge terminal is causing tremors that are affecting homes

in the area.

Work began in September 2017 in preparation for the company’s planned Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, which is expected to triple the route’s capacity to carry oil from Alberta to be shipped by

tanker overseas. Construction involves pile driving for additional support structures for the facility.

Aaron Keogh said he awoke to the noise and vibration from the pile driving last Saturday morning in his residence on Braeside Drive,

Newsnow BREAKING BARRIERS

Burnaby’s new top cop talks shop

By Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Burnaby’s top cop, Deanne Burleigh, won’t talk on the record about two questions she was asked during her first, failed RCMP job interview 38 years ago – suffice it to say, they wouldn’t fly in 2018, the year of #metoo.

“In today’s world? Completely out of line, unacceptable, a violation of human rights, whatever you want to call it,” she says during an International Women’s Daythemed interview at the Burnaby detachment.

The force has progressed “leaps and bounds” since then as far as women are concerned, she says.

Today, Chief Supt. Burleigh heads a detachment where female commissioned officers outnumber their male counterparts four to two, and, looking around at a recent B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police meeting, she says she was happy to see women at every table.

But policing and the RCMP still have work to do, she says.

Burleigh, for example, is the Burnaby RCMP detachment’s first female officer in charge – and women still make up less than 22 per cent of the force.

“I’ve been doing the job 32-and-a-half years,” she says, “and I find it even in this day and age shocking that it’s still ‘first woman, first woman, first woman.’ It’s been that way for many years.When I took over Chilliwack, it’s the first woman; when I took over Burnaby, it’s the first woman, and I’m thinking, ‘How can it possibly be, in 2018, that I’m the first woman?’”

She would like to see the RCMP get to a place where gender is irrelevant.

The phrase “female member” is among her biggest pet peeves.

“I have a tough time talking about being female. For me, it’s about doing the job,” she says.

BEGINNINGS Burleigh’s mind about becoming a Mountie was made up on May 23, 1974, the day the RCMP announced it was accepting female members.

After school that day, 12-year-old Burleigh found her dad – a longtime mem-

ber in traffic services, including eight years in Burnaby – unexpectedly at home.

“I’m thinking someone’s died because dad’s on the balcony and he’s never home,” Burleigh says.

“He said, ‘I just wanted to let you know the force has announced they’re letting women in.’ I said, ‘Cool, I guess I’ll join.’”

Burleigh, the eldest of three siblings, had been the most intrigued by her dad’s work.

“When he’d bring work home, I was the snoop, trying to see what he was doing and what he was putting together,” she says.

She first applied in 1980 when she was 18.

The offensive interview questions didn’t turn her off the idea, she says. Instead, they convinced her she needed more life experience before applying again.

“I knew that, out in the field, absolutely everything is in front of you,” she says.

She got a job at a Vancouver bank at Davie and Bute, in the centre of what was then called the prostitution capital of Canada.

She even tried her hand at social work for a bit, after attending Langara College and UBC, but decided that wasn’t for her.

“I wanted to help people, but that wasn’t the type of help I wanted to do,” she says.

NEW RECRUIT Burleigh got into the RCMP in 1985, when she was 23.

The first female Mounties had graduated from depot 10 years earlier, but the RCMP was still dressing them differently than their male counterparts.

Instead of the distinctive red coat, breeches, high boots and Stetson of the male Mounties’ dress uniform, Burleigh got a skirt, polyester turtleneck, red blazer, heeled pumps and a pillbox cap.

(Her old uniform is now on display at the Richmond RCMP detachment.)

She was still wearing a pillbox cap running foot patrols during the Oka Crisis in Quebec in 1990.

She didn’t get her first proper forage cap until a male colleague agreed to order an extra one and give it to her.

And she wasn’t fitted

A NEW LENS: Chief Supt. Deanne Burleigh, the first female officer in charge of the Burnaby RCMP detachment, poses in front of a wall of

photos picturing her all-male predecessors dating back to 1950, when the RCMP absorbed B.C.’s provincial police force. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR

for her first red serge coat, breeches and boots until 1992 – when she was five months pregnant.

“Needless to say it fit very loosely for a very long time,” she said.

(Burleigh has four daughters; two of her own and two stepdaughters – none of whom followed her into policing.)

But the uniform isn’t all that’s changed for women in the RCMP since she first joined.

‘I have a tough time talking about being female. For me, it’s about doing the job.’

During 10 years of federal policing in Montreal in the 1980s, for example, Burleigh – despite carrying a gun and a badge – still had to talk her way into menonly bars during investigations.

At Oka, she and another female member were the first to be relegated to kitchen duty.

“That was the reality of the day, and you just kind of had to find ways to work around it and say in whatever voice you had, ‘This isn’t right.We have to change this,’ and, in the interim, do your job and show that you had the ability to do your job and move forward,” she said.

SETTING THE TONE Much of Burleigh’s strong personality has been built up over years of doing just that, she says.

“When I was a young, new, green member, I wasn’t as strong, nor were there as many people around me that were supportive and mentors and people I could go to,” she says.

When it came to sexual harassment, though, she says she set the tone in her first or second year, after a senior officer acted “inappropriately” at an afterhours RCMP party.

“It wasn’t welcome, and, after a beverage or two, I told him so, straight up and with some colourful language,” Burleigh says.

She was hauled into his office the next morning to be written up for talking to a senior officer that way. She told him to go ahead and that she’d take the oppor-

tunity to record why she’d done it.

In 2016, as part of a settlement in two class-action lawsuits, the RCMP formally apologized to female members for gender-based discrimination and sexual harassment dating back to the 1970s, and committed to a range of anti-harassment training and enforcement.

A lawyer in the case has said she wouldn’t be surprised if as many as 3,000 or 4,000 women filed claims before the court deadline.

As a senior female officer, Burleigh says her approach to the suit has been to empower other female members to make their own decisions about filing a claim.

“If they need to talk it through first to get there, absolutely, or afterwards,” she says.

A DIFFERENT LENS Does it make a difference having a female officer in charge?

“I think it makes a difference having an officer in charge who’s willing to stand up and do the right thing, female or male, but I think for some women it’s easier to talk to a female officer,” she says.

Women and men bring a different lens, not only to

leadership, but to policing generally, according to Burleigh.

“We all have to be able to shoot a gun; we have to be able to physically defend ourselves; we have to know our powers of arrest; there has to be a certain intellect and understanding of the law.The skill sets there are pretty basic,” she says.

“The difference is the way we approach it.You know, I’m not going to walk into a bar fight, pick the biggest guy and push him against the wall and say, ‘OK, fight’s over.’ It’s not going to work for me. It’s the way we go in, the way we approach it.”

Female police officers are more apt to engage “clients” in a conversation to get things done, according to Burleigh.

In leadership, she says, women are more relationship motivated and are more likely to share information and seek input from others.

For the four decades or so that women have been in the force, Burleigh says there has been “a lot of cross pollination” between these different approaches, and that’s good for the force – but more is needed.

Pipeline protester arrested at Kinder Morgan tank farm Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A pipeline protester was arrested Monday and faces charges of mischief after jumping onto a loaded semi-trailer headed into the Kinder Morgan tank farm and then evading police by running along the top of it.

Police were called to the area just outside the tank farm gates in the 7000 block of Bayview Drive at about noon, after reports someone had jumped on

top of a work vehicle, according to police.

“Despite attempts by Burnaby RCMP officers to have the male come down, he refused to do so,” states an RCMP press release.

“The male then proceeded to attempt to evade officers by running along the bed of the fully loaded semi-truck, placing both himself and responding police officers at risk of serious injury.”

The 25-year-old was finally arrested and taken down safely from the truck,

Demonstrators have a right to lawful, peaceful and safe protest according to police.

He now faces a potential charge of mischief.

A major protest against the proposed twinning of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline, which

carries diluted bitumen from Alberta’s oil sands to Burnaby, is planned for March 10.

“Demonstrators have a right to lawful, peaceful and safe protest and companies have a right to complete their work,” states the press release after Monday’s incident. “Burnaby RCMP is working hard to ensure that both of these rights are protected and that all parties and the public are kept safe.”

Opinion now OUR VIEW

It’s a long (winding) uphill battle for women Tomorrow is International Women’s Day and we will resist the temptation to say, ‘...you’ve come a long way, baby’.

Although it is true and yet ironic in so many ways.

The #metoo movement is seeing women and their allies discover that solidarity and speaking truth to power is not only the way to change things, but also a way to free oneself. But, it’s also a little bit like taking the measurement of exactly

how deep misogyny runs in our society.

Women who have challenged their abusers have been praised for their courage. But they have also been attacked and shamed.

And, of course, it has been the women who are in relative positions of economic safety that have been the first to have their stories told.The media, as usual, gravitate to celebrities for their stories.

Meanwhile poor women,

immigrant women and Indigenous women’s #metoo stories are usually only told when they result in murder trials or missing women inquiries.

The toll that sexism takes on women is immense Women still make 74 cents to every dollar a man earns and the separate value of women’s work in the home has now been lost in the ‘new’ economy where everyone except the rich

seem to be struggling.

Our interview on page three with Burnaby’s new top cop is yet another reminder that as far as women have come, they still have a long way to go.

Chief Supt. Deanne Burleigh says she was surprised to keep finding out that she is the first woman when she lands in her new positions. It’s 2018 and she thinks women might just have been further along the equality trail by now.

We agree.Yes, women have come a long way.We have the vote, equal treatment at work, as defined under human rights, reproductive freedom and the freedom to marry who they want to marry. And girls growing up today know that they can play hockey, become a scientist, or be a full-time mom - if they so choose.

But that doesn’t mean that all of those doors are wide open and welcome

mats are out.The truth is that just when you think you’ve broken a barrier, there’s another one to break.

Thankfully, as women break those barriers they learn about the women who broke trails for them before they got there.They learn that every woman who challenges sexism in any way, makes a difference for every women everywhere.

MY VIEW KEITH BALDREY

Opposition Libs finding the way As they settle into the unfamiliar – for them, anyway – role of Official Opposition, the B.C. Liberals are slowly starting to figure what issues may or may not work for them.

The party caucus has hit upon a few policy areas during the daily question period that they raise consistently and with some effect. One of them is the new payroll health tax, while the other is the anti-pipeline debate.

Both issues play well with the party’s supporters and provide a nice wedge between them and the NDP. The vast majority of small business owners – a major component of Liberal support – are likely upset about the new payroll tax, since it will inflict significant financial pain on their bottom line.

And the anti-pipeline debate allows the Liberals to constantly require the NDP government to cast their lot with the activist protest crowd, creating a message and image Premier John Horgan has been trying to avoid acquiring.

However, other issues simply do not work for the B.C. Liberals.

Chief among them are education funding and ICBC.The B.C. Liberals lack credibility on either issue, as their track record on both issues when they were in power is abysmal.

The party fought school districts and the teachers’ union constantly and, ultimately, lost a Supreme Court ruling that required the re-funding of hundreds of million dollars for the

school system.

When the B.C. Liberals now try to attack Education Minister Rob Fleming, they simply allow Fleming to throw their 16 years of underfunding right back at them.

ICBC has also become a no-go zone for the B.C. Liberals.

Even with significant car insurance rate hikes likely in the offing, it will be hard for the Liberals to tar the NDP with them since the Crown corporation’s finances were run into the ground on their watch.

The same can almost be said about B.C. Hydro.

When the B.C. Utilities Commission denied B.C. Hydro’s request to freeze electricity rates for a year, all the B.C. Liberals could offer in response was a rather mild rebuke that this meant the NDP could not keep a campaign promise to freeze rates.

The reason the freeze was denied was that B.C. Hydro’s bottom line, after many years of B.C. Liberal management, is not healthy and so a freeze is simply unaffordable.

So, the B.C. Liberals would be wise to stick to things like that payroll health tax and trying to push the NDP into the environmental protest camp.

Attempting to pretend to have clean hands and credibility on a bunch of other areas is almost impossible after 16 years of running the very things they now criticize.

Discoverer’s letter rediscovered?

Simon Fraser University was anxiously awaiting confirmation in November that a folder of 14 papers, lost for 23 years, contained a letter from the university’s namesake. A descendent of Fraser’s had given the folder to the university at SFU’s opening in 1965. It contained a letter dated Jan. 19, 1846 and signed “Simon Fraser.”The university called in documents expert Don Brown, who planned to authenticate the signature against samples at the Provincial Archives, but it was closed for repairs, so SFU had to wait for help from the National Archives in Ottawa.

Opinionnow This is what Burnaby Hospital is like Dear Editor: A few thoughts on Burnaby Hospital seeing as it made recent headlines. Being ignored in the latest provincial budget provided that opportunity.

The staff there do their very best with the conditions under which they work. It is overcrowded, outdated and, in some areas, in a poor state of repair.

Repeatedly I hear the front-line staff reply that you will have to take it up with administration.

This in reference to family members seeking better service for their loved ones.

Here are a few items from my recent experience there. I was handed a form to complete and sign for a family member. On checking, I pointed out that this was not the right patient. The name was then changed with a sticker.

On moving from emergency to a medical ward, we arrived to find that the assigned bed had already been filled. In a raised voice, we were told, “Take her back to emerg.” We did eventually get a bed.

The available bed was in a coed two-bed space. Over the next three days, both patients shared a washroom with no door. As both suffered from incontinence, it was, to say the least, awkward.

During the coldest days in recent memory, a broken window held together by Sellotape offered little protection. I sat with a winter jacket on while visiting.

I discussed the poor condition of the room

Shopping Made Easy At

and the lack of privacy with the attending doctor. Although there was empathy, it was pointed out that the better allocation of funds by the ministry would help.

Both my son and I witnessed a commode placed in the elevator access area. A female patient using it was surrounded by three staff members to give her privacy. This was necessary because the hallway alcove that served as her room did not have enough space.

Sadly, these are items I can mention without entering into embarrassing or confidential medical details.

Despite all of this and the laws of probability, a health status sufficient for release was attained.

This is not a new problem, nor have solutions not been discussed ad nauseam. People seeking solutions from outside the political spectrum are not heard. I am sure the current council and their provincial masters will have all the answers soon. I figure those solutions will begin in August, reach crescendo in September and fade into oblivion at the end of October 2018.

I will end here with my pet peeve. No one being admitted to a hospital or visiting the sick should have to pay parking. No one goes there by choice but of necessity.

Look at what I wrote above and ask yourself this question: Would I ever go there if I didn’t absolutely have to? Furthermore, would I want to stay there without family and friends to support me? Would I want someone to bring me edible food and help me with my ablutions with some dignity?

Design firm gets contract for new city arena Grant Granger

editorial@burnabynow.com

A Vancouver firm has been awarded a contract of nearly $3 million to do the detailed design for a new two-rink arena complex next to Byrne Creek Secondary in southeast Burnaby.

HCMA Architecture +

Design got the go-ahead from city council last week to design the facility, beating out one other firm that was shortlisted for the project and six other bidders.

HCMA has been in business for more than 40 years.

The firm designed the Hillcrest Community Centre in Vancouver, originally built as a curling arena for the

2010 Winter Olympics before being converted into a community centre. It has also done the Grandview Heights Aquatic Centre in South Surrey, a major renovation to the North Delta Recreation Centre and is working on a new North Surrey ice arena.

The Burnaby arena will be built on city-owned lots

at 18th Street and 10th Avenue and will contain two ice rinks.

That will give Burnaby five rinks overall, but the new facility will be the first built on the south side of the city.Two of the arenas, Bill Copeland and Burnaby Lake, are located in the Central Valley, while the other is Kensington Arena

next to Burnaby North Secondary.

The new complex is expected to be 70,000 square feet, with a skate shop, concession and second-floor offices alongside areas where spectators can view from above. HCMA’s preliminary design included a roof with north-facing, glazed windows.

Council approved a design cost of $2,930,000.

The city previously put aside $22 million for the project, which is to be paid for by density bonus funds from developers.

Finance committee chair Dan Johnston said it’s hoped shovels will be in the ground by early fall.

Pipeline opponent worried about construction damage Continued from page 1 such, surrounding the area?”

Keogh pointed out there are many homes on the north side of Inlet that are much closer and more vulnerable. He said he didn’t get a satisfactory answer when he contacted Trans Mountain.

“They did not wish to give me any assurances that they were willing to stop until such time as they could determine it was not going to affect houses,” said Keogh, who also called the Vancouver Port Authority and was told his complaint would be followed up.

Keogh said he was not aware of any notification the pile driving was coming.

The pipeline opponent feels the tremors are a harbinger of what’s to come and worries about the damage the construction could cause in Burnaby.

“There is more than a billion dollars worth of homes, houses and apartments and other structures, plus an irreplaceable forest and parkland that, should it basically be spilt, burned, etc., it’s anywhere from extremely costly to irreplaceable. It only takes so long for it to be gone,” said Keogh. “You really don’t know what you have until it’s gone.”

Trans Mountain, in an email to the NOW, said pile driving at the terminal started at the end of September 2017, after it submit-

ted a noise management plan to the National Energy Board. It calls for all construction activities to be monitored to make sure the noise levels for residences within 300 metres doesn’t exceed Health Canada and B.C. Oil and Gas Commission noise guidelines and for Trans Mountain to file weekly reports from its 24/7 receptor monitors with the port authority.

“To date,Trans Mountain’s noise monitoring indicates that pile driving activities at Westridge have not exceeded such guidelines,” said a Trans Mountain spokesperson in the email.

To help reduce the noise from marine pile driving into the ocean floor,Trans

Mountain is using a shroud over the impact hammer, “which dampens the sound of the impact by 65 to 95 per cent.” According to Trans Mountain, it’s the first time a shroud has been deployed for a piling project in Vancouver’s port.

Trans Mountain is also looking at using a sound wall to mitigate noise in future projects at Westridge such as construction of the tunnel portal.The company is also looking at using a sound wall to mitigate noise in future projects at Westridge such as construction of the tunnel portal.

According to a schedule filed with the NEB, pile driving will be conducted on and off for various proj-

ects at the Westridge terminal until late 2020. Pile driving and construction activity is limited to between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. on weekdays, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturdays. No work is planned for Sundays and statutory holidays. Any night shift work will not include using heavy equipment, according to the noise plan.

“The daytime average noise levels near residential properties are expected to range between 57 and 64 (decibels). Some short-term

Diversity in hiring brings a ‘different lens’ Continued from page 3 up in the organization? Absolutely,” she says. “They bring a different lens, and not just the women but visible minorities, diversity, bring it forward. It brings a different lens, and every lens makes a huge difference on how we offer the service to the community, be-

cause we should be reflecting the community.Women are only 20 per cent in the organization. My best guess is there’s more than 20 per cent women in the population.”

To attract more women, Burleigh says the force is going to have to keep working on taking down barriers to

employment and advancement, including creating more flexible work hours for those caring for children or aging parents.

After more than 40 years of women in the RCMP, however, one thing new female recruits have today that Burleigh and others who joined early didn’t have

is female leaders and role models, and that should help.

“I’m willing to share everything that I do know,” Burleigh says. “What I’ve learned and what I am today is of no value unless I share it.”

activities will be louder than the average,” said the Trans Mountain plan. “As a comparison, a household refrigerator generates about 55 dBA and an ordinary conversation in an office at a one-metre distance generates about 60 to 65 dBA.” Elsie Dean, a spokeswoman for Burnaby Residents Opposed to Kinder Morgan Expansion, said the group’s members protesting the pipeline daily at the terminal have not noticed a lot of noise from the construction.

City now Tenant assistance policy doesn’t cut it: advocate Tereza Verenca

tverenca@burnabynow.com

The latest amendment to Burnaby’s tenant assistance policy is “almost insulting” to renters, says a local housing advocate.

At its Monday meeting, city council voted to change the policy and require landlords to pay the equivalent of an extra month’s rent to tenants who have lived in their units for at least a decade.Those tenants are now eligible to receive a minimum of four months’ rent.

Under the city’s tenant assistance policy, which was

adopted in 2015 to support people facing relocation as a result of multi-family development, tenants, regardless of their years of residency, are entitled to three months’ rent.

The policy exceeds requirements in B.C.’s Residential Tenancy Act, which demands tenants be given one month compensation.

But Zoe Luba with the Alliance Against Displacement and Stop Demovictions Burnaby said the extra four weeks of free rent for long-term tenants isn’t good enough.

“An extra month, if

you’ve lived in a neighbourhood for 10, 15, 20 years, and if you’re looking at your rent literally doubling or having to move to a completely different area of the province, an extra month’s rent is a drop in the bucket, and the bucket is very, very deep,” she said. “Even a year of rent to compensate isn’t enough. It’s really not because, if you’re given the compensation money, and there’s no vacancy, what do you do with that?”

Luba has been a longtime opponent of Burnaby’s newly adopted Metrotown Downtown Plan, a mass re-

zoning of the neighbourhood that will see more lowrise walk-ups replaced with luxury condos.

She reiterated that residents who live in the neighbourhood simply can’t afford to move into the new highrises.

“Regardless of whether you know the zoning policy or not, or you’ve been informed about this Metrotown plan, you still see the changes of your neighbourhood every day, which has a huge psychological and emotional toll on people, to look out and see a massive hole in the ground,”

she said. “That’s really taxing. People are feeling really worried, very confused and unsure about what’s going on. A lot of fear of, ‘Where will I go?’ All those sentiments are stronger more than ever.”

During Monday’s meeting, Coun. Colleen Jordan said the extra month of compensation for long-term renters is similar to what other municipalities are doing, like Vancouver.

“We’re trying to ... give

extra to the people that we have an opportunity to intervene on, right, because this is all connected to a rezoning. Other demolitions or things, we have no way of intruding into that,” she told the NOW Tuesday morning. “There’s always going to be, when you’re a renter, reasons for the landlord deciding to use your property otherwise, and to say that your tenancy has ended.

That’s one of the things of being a renter.”

Police seek suspect in bank robbery Burnaby RCMP is looking for the public’s help locating a man suspected of robbing a Burnaby bank in late February.

Sean Bishop is also alleged to have been involved in a number of other bank robberies across the Lower Mainland in February and March.

Bishop is described as six-

foot-one, with a medium-thin build, fair complexion, brown eyes and a shaved head.

“Bishop should be considered violent and should not be approached. If you locate him, call police immediately,” states an RCMP press release.

Anyone with information on Bishop’s whereabouts is asked

to contact Burnaby RCMP at 604-646-9999 and ask to speak with Const. Chad Premack from the robbery unit.

down for herself, she would dictate poems for her mother to record.

Those two parts of her – the anxiety, and the creativity – would become inextricably entwined as she grew up.

FROM HERE TO ‘CRAZY’ She was, she figures, more “together” to outsiders than she was to herself. She was in a band with her friend in high school, finding unexpected attention for what she remembers as “cute” songs (“my lyrics were about boys and kittens and Harry Potter,” is how she describes them in a post on her website).

“It was a strange way for me to connect with people, because I was very shy,” she says. “I always say I have offstage fright.”

She kept writing and making music. People didn’t know other things about her.Things like the fact that she didn’t sleep for days at a time – not sleeping was a problem that had plagued her since childhood – and that she’d cry on the floor at night. She had periods of depression, even suicidal thoughts. But she didn’t talk to counsellors, or anyone else really.

“I thought it was maybe how everybody felt, or it wasn’t really that bad,” she remembers.

It wasn’t till she started university that the anxiety grew beyond her control. She dropped out very shortly after starting and was living with major mood swings, alternating from hypomanic highs to depressive lows.

By her late teens and early 20s, her life was spiralling out of control. One friend told her to get to a doctor, saying she couldn’t be friends with Sarah the way she was and that Sarah needed professional help.

“I heard a lot that I was crazy, but that doesn’t have a lot of meaning behind it,” Jickling says.

Eventually, she did seek help, and she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

“I said nope, that’s not me, that doctor is wrong,”

Jickling recalls.

Jickling notes that one of the big challenges with bipolar disorder is the long waitlists for care – by the time you get through the six-month waitlist for help, you’ve cycled out of depression and into hypomania and you’re convinced the world is yours for the taking.

Jickling had to be diagnosed three times with bipolar disorder – at 19, at 21 and at 23 – before she finally started on her road to recovery.

some people completely transform their looks with crazy long, badly done extensions and overly done, bold brows, and it seems as though they’re hiding behind a mask.

We would rather focus on natural and subtle enhancements using quality materials.

Q: WHAT PLANS DO YOU HAVE FOR THE FUTURE?

Oh I have a lot of plans! It seems like there’s always a lot to do now and in the future. We’re looking to expand and hoping to find like-minded individuals who want to be a part of 2 Polished Beauty.

Entertainment now ‘Playing from the heart and telling my stories’ Continued from page 11 of your songs.”

Through a number of years, she says, she connected her mental illness and her music; she had an image of the stereotypical “crazy artist” in her head and feared that if she got rid of the illness, she might also lose the music.

“I connected this sort of chaotic life and chaotic brain with the ability to write songs,” she said. “My recovery has been knowing that I am an artist, with or without mental illness.”

The recovery journey became the album she released independently in the summer of 2017, When I Get Better.

There’s no moment when you arrive at ‘better’

That, in a nutshell, is Jickling’s mission for her March 8 performance at the Cultch.

“I’m just going to be

playing from my heart and telling my stories,” she says simply.

That, she knows, is what she’s here to do.

Gifting the joy of Better Hearing.

Since 2014, we’ve contributed more than $230,000 to improve hearing health in our communities. Will you be next?

HOPE IN THE DARKNESS Even when Jickling’s subject matter is dark, her music remains light-hearted and whimsical.

“That’s the stuff I like to listen to, stuff that makes me feel upbeat and happy,” she says. “I really want to lift people up with my music.”

What’s surprised her the most in this whole journey is, perhaps, the fact that she loves performing as much as she does.

“I suppose it’s rather surprising that I enjoy being on stage so much. I’m a quiet person, I’ve always been

very shy,” she muses. “I feel so comfortable in situations where I’m able to tell my story and perform, in a way, but perform my truth.”

gu

“Often, I’m writing something that I need to tell myself, things that have taken me a long time to understand,” she says. Like, for instance, the title track to When I Get Better. “The idea I was struggling with is, ‘Is there a better?’ It was coming to terms with, this life’s up and down, just like everybody’s life.There’s no moment when you arrive at ‘better.’”

It isn’t easy. Jickling points out the music industry is difficult already, being fraught with competition and rejection, never mind adding mental illness.

“Success has been some-

thing that I’ve had to struggle with,” she admits. “I’ve decided that success for me means I’m touching other people’s lives and making a difference in other people’s lives.”

Every time she gets feedback from someone who thanks her, who relates to her experiences and tells her that message is what they needed to hear – that’s what keeps Jickling persevering. On days when Jickling wants to go back to old habits – to self-harming, or to allowing panic attacks to keep her inside the house for days on end – those are the days she keeps on going because of her music and her advocacy work.

“Every day I tell people that I am there for them, so I cannot not be there for myself,” she says. “I’m going to listen to my own advice and take care of myself. I’m going to share my stories instead of pretending everything’s great.”

Au

LIFE AS AN ADVOCATE For an album that began from an intensely personal place, When I Get Better has propelled Jickling into an intensely public life.

She released the album with a zine illustrated by a high school friend, Amelia Butcher (a friend whom Jickling credits as being “the person who stuck by me” – the one who brought Jickling food when she wasn’t eating; the one who called the police when she thought Jickling had overdosed).The zine, called It’s OK – a handbook for human beings, is a tongue-in-cheek look at acceptance and coping.

After its release, Jickling was invited to speak on CBC and other platforms, and she found herself becoming an advocate for people with mental illness and for mental health awareness

in general.

Jickling now performs with ReachOut Psychosis, a touring show presented by HereToHelp and the B.C. Schizophrenia Society that travels to B.C. high schools to help educate students and teachers about psychosis.

“The biggest thing that music has given me is a voice and a platform to connect with people,” Jickling says.

She uses her platform to share the things that she needed to hear, knowing that her experiences will reach someone else who needs them.

Communitynow Help add women to Wikipedia Art + FeminismWikipedia Edita-thon coming to city gallery The Burnaby Art Gallery wants to do its part to improve coverage of gender, feminism and the arts on Wikipedia.

The gallery is hosting an Art + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon on Friday, March 16 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.The event will include tutorials for beginner Wikipedians, plus ongoing editing support, reference materials and refreshments.

The event is part of a growing worldwide movement dedicated to helping improve the balance of coverage on Wikipedia.

A press release from the gallery notes that, every March since 2014, Art + Feminism edit-a-thons have taken place across the world at museums, libraries, universities, coffee shops and

community centres, helping to improve more than 11,000 articles.The global project is based out of the Museum of Modern Art in NewYork, with events at hundreds of locations around the world. More than 7,000 people have taken part in more than 500 events around the world.

In a 2011 survey, the Wikimedia Foundation found that fewer than 10 per cent of its contributors identify as women, leading to a gap of content in the world’s most popular online research tool.

“Becoming a Wikipedia editor has been an empowering experience,” said Jennifer Cane, assistant curator at Burnaby Art Gallery, in the release. “I love the idea that we are writing ourselves

into history through events like this one.”

The day’s events will focus on artists from the Burnaby Art Gallery’s permanent collection and its artist files. People with a background and/or strength in art history and research are encouraged to attend, and people of all gender identities and expressions

are invited to participate.

The event is free, but space is limited. Participants are asked to bring along lunch and a laptop. It’s free, and refreshments will be offered. RSVP by email to gallery@burnaby.ca or by phone to 604-297-4422.

Sportsnow Bulldogs, Rebels at the line Burnaby schools ready to put best foot forward at provincials

By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

At the start of the season, players for both the Byrne Creek Bulldogs and Burnaby South Rebels senior boys basketball teams had a goal in mind.

Through hard work, resilience and tough lessons along the way, both will live that dream starting today (Wednesday) as they compete at the B.C. High School boys basketball championships in Langley.

The Bulldogs, having successfully defended their Lower Mainland win from a year ago, enter the 3-A championships as the No. 1-ranked team in the province.With that designation, they have drawn No. 16-seed Caledonia (3:30 p.m. at the Langley Events Centre). A victory there would catapult them into Thursday’s quarter-final.

For the Rebels, who placed third in the 4-A Lower Mainland tournament, the draw has put them in the middle. Seeded eighth, Burnaby South tips off today against No. 9-seed Lord Tweedsmuir at 5:15 p.m.

A win by the Rebels would likely put them against No. 1-ranked Oak Bay on Thursday (5:15 p.m.).

More information can be found at www.bchighschool basketballchampionships. com.

JR. REBELS TAKE THE FIFTH The Burnaby South junior Rebels shook off a tough loss en route to finishing fifth at last week’s B.C. junior girls basketball championships in Langley.

The team defeated North Surrey 50-40 on the final day to finish with a 3-1 record.

The Rebels opened the tourney by edging Windsor 36-29 in a tight defensive battle, before getting bumped 49-43 byYale. Burnaby was within three points down the stretch but the Valley team protected the lead.

The Rebels also bested Penticton 53-44.

The St.Thomas More Knights, meanwhile, placed ninth, closing out the tourney with a 40-36 win over Pacific Christian.

Barzal eager to embrace homecoming

NewYork Islanders’ top scorer and Calder Trophy candidate credits work ethic for success

By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

What for some appears to be an ordained or blessing of talent, Mathew Barzal says that isn’t what has got him to where he is today.

The Burnaby Winter Club product has utilized an intense work ethhic to drive him in his route to the National Hockey League.

The NHL’s top scoring rookie with the NewYork Islanders, Barzal is starring in a highlight reel of plays where he does the magical, the incredible and the superlative.

Although genetics and family encouragement played huge parts in his development, the main element has been that roll-up-your-sleeves kind. From the age of 13, his name was often bandied around in the same discussions as like-aged Connor McDavid, despite the fact both teens had a lot of growing to do.

Now 20, Barzal says his game continues to evolve, but that’s something he’s determined to work on.There is no waiting for elements out of his control to come together.

“Where’s my game grown the most? Probably just goal scoring, because previously I didn’t score quite at this pace,” Barzal told the NOW Sunday after the team’s practice. “I have more goals now than I did in the (Western Hockey League) last year.That’s made a bigger (stride) than my passing.”

A goal last week at the Molson Centre in Montreal highlighted both his speed and anticipation at work.There was the move – picking up a loose puck at centre ice, blowing past Canadiens’ blueliner Noah Juulsen, before backhanding the puck in the net at full speed.

His celebration was that of a classic goal scorer.When your team’s on a six-game losing trend, any opportunity to boost the morale and set a tone is appreciated. Scoring goals is great, he admits.

His dad Mike was a fast forward with the 1983-84 Penticton Knights, whose best player Brett Hull set a junior A record with 105 goals in 57 games.The father passed along his workman attitude about giving your all, and the son has put it to work on the ice.

The leading candidate for the Calder Trophy, awarded to the NHL’s best rookie, the Burnaby Winter Club alumnus came into this season ready to work.

“The great thing about Mathew is that he knows the better he plays the better our team plays,” Islanders head coach Doug Weight said.

“He’s really become a guy like John (Tavares), guys in the league who know how they go (is) how our team goes.”

Prior to Monday’s game in Vancouver, Barzal stood 15th overall in NHL scoring, with 18 goals and 49 assists in 66 games. Hard to believe it took seven games before he registered his first NHL goal, beating Henrik Lundquist at Madison

Square Gardens.

Since then, he’s been on a tear, with three five-point games and the NHL’s Rookie of the Month for February. Monday’s game was hyped as a showcase between the Canucks’ Brock Boeser and Barzal, but Weight feels these distractions are for others to worry about.

“They both are having tremendous seasons and both very good hockey players, but when it comes down to it, you want to have success as a team.That’s the most fun, and (Barzal) knows that,” said the coach.

He doesn’t deny the game was in the back of his mind for some time.

“I probably started thinking about it a month now,” said Barzal, who met a handful of children after practice, some wearing his Islander No. 13 jersey. “It’s pretty exciting.

It’s pretty tough not to think about.

It’s a big game for us and a big game for me, the first time playing in front of my family and friends.”

Last year’s run to the Memori-

al Cup gave him a chance to play in big, important games, and eased any disappointment he had of not sticking in NewYork after two games.There’s a fine line to developing talent,Weight said, but playing and leading his peers was a crucial opportunity.

“It could have gone two ways.

It really could have. … For him, we had long discussions whether it would help him or hurt him.

Ultimately, it came down to Mat. He made the decision to go back and work on his game and areas to make himself better,” said Weight.

Hockey has been No. 1 for him since his dad signed him up at the age of four. He chose to sign with the WHL’s Seattle Thunderbirds a year after they made him the first overall pick in the bantam draft.

In 2015, a broken knee cap that sidelined him for 28 games caused some NHL teams to overlook him, and NewYork capitalized by trading up for the 16th pick overall.

Last year he missed 30 games

with Seattle but still contributed 10 goals and 69 assists over 41 games.

Getting to this place, where a dream has become real and the hard work is a given, is part of his core. Just like the game.

“I’d say (hockey is) everything about me.When I was young I was obsessed with the game; you grow out of that a little bit but at the same time I’m always that kid at heart,” he said. “I love to come to the rink and practise. Just being a hockey player is part of my life. I’m OK with that.”

Veteran teammate Andrew Ladd, who like Barzal played briefly with the Coquitlam Express, notes it’s a huge jump for any rookie. But the Coquitlam native is already an impact player for his team.

“He’s been fantastic for us offensively and does a great job of driving that line,” said Ladd. “The main thing for when you look at young guys is that they show up, put the work in and he does that each and every day to get better.”

Ronning signs with Rangers

Place and time are great factors in success.

Burnaby’s Ty Ronning has placed himself in a good spot to realize his hockey dreams, after signing a three-year entry-level contract with the NewYork Rangers.

The 201st player selected in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft, Ronning continuously worked on his game to where he’s tied for second in the Western Hockey League for goals with 55 in 64 games.

Like his father, Cliff Ronning, the 20-year-old doesn’t cut an imposing figure – he’s five-foot-nine and 172 pounds. But he’s been creating some impressive numbers over his young career.

Earlier this year he set a new Vancouver single-season record for goals, surpassing Evander Kane’s 48, set in 2008-09.

Ronning, who played with the Burnaby Winter Club in bantam, was picked by Vancouver in the WHL bantam draft in 2012.

He was called up last spring to play with NewYork’s American Hockey League farm team, the Hartford Wolf Pack. In 12 games, he scored twice and set up three others.

MORRIS A PACWEST ALL-STAR St.Thomas More alumnus and Burnaby native Reese Morris played a key role in his Douglas College Royals’ upset win at the PacWest men’s basketball championships on the weekend.

The six-foot-five forward counted 17 points, overcoming three early fouls to hold his spot on the floor, as Douglas defeated Vancouver Island 76-59 in the final. Morris also contributed eight rebounds in the final.

It is with great sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our beloved mother, Jane De Marchi, on March 2, 2018 at the age of 92. She was predeceased by her husband John De Marchi in 2008. She is survived by her loving family, daughter Anna Mutadi (Neal), sons Edward (Toni) and Ronald (Mary); grandchildren Reena (Joe), Jennifer, Chris (Felicity), Lawren, Jameison (Paula), Adrian (Clelia), Elisabeth and Peter; great grandchildren Amanda, Isabella, Fiona, Gethin, Oaklyn and Jayce; brothers Antonio and Eliseo Pedron and many nieces and nephews.

Jane was born in Selva del Montello, Italy, the fourth child in a family of eight. In 1950 she joined John in Canada, making the challenging voyage on her own with their baby in her arms. Although she only had a minimal education, she was an avid self-learner who passionately believed that her children should be well educated in order to be successful. After an active career in the hospitality industry, she focused her boundless energy on contributing meaningfully to many organizations: Royal Columbian Hospital Auxiliary, Queens Park Care Facility, New Westminster Horticultural Society and the Italian Mutual Aid Society. Her active lifestyle nurtured many treasured friendships. Jane was devout in her faith and when she was no longer able to attend church she prayed along with the church services she found on her television. She loved family, had a zest for life and wasn’t afraid to follow her many passions.

For 45 years, Larry was the much-loved Santa at the Royal City Mall in New Westminster. Larry has a real heart for children and remembered many of them by name over the years. Each year, generation after generation of families would look forward to visiting Santa Larry each Christmas and he would share his magic with them. As well as being Santa, in Larry’s younger days he was active in the theatre community, in many productions. He had a love for music and enjoyed playing bass in The Elastic Band, as well as making music with his brother Wayne, writing lyrics and composing songs. Larry had a big heart and a gentle soul and strongly embraced his faith. Larry had the opportunity to share his joy with many throughout the community of New Westminster and will be greatly missed by his family and those who knew him. In lieu of flowers, Larry would love for people to purchase a Christmas gift for a child in need next Christmas or to make a donation to a children’s charity of your choice.
