PIPELINE PROTESTS

Protester in court on assault charge Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A 31-year-old anti-pipeline protester was in court this week for allegedly pushing and pulling a Burnaby Mountie while he was trying to arrest another protester for mischief. Harry Johnson-Larue has been

charged with assault and obstructing a police officer in relation to an incident just outside Kinder Morgan’s Burnaby Mountain tank farm last week. Police had been called to the 8000 block of Shellmont Street at about 6 p.m. on March 25 for reports a man was interfering with “City of Burnaby infrastructure” in

the area. Upon arrival, officers found a man who had allegedly removed a survey marker. Police went to arrest the 41-yearold for mischief, but he resisted, according to police, and a number of demonstrators from nearby Camp Cloud then rushed in and obstructed the arresting officer, allowing the

suspect to flee. The officer chased the man and was in turn pursued by demonstrators, one of whom allegedly pushed the officer, according to police. Burnaby RCMP couldn’t confirm Johnson-Larue was the protester who allegedly pushed the officer, only that he was allegedly Continued on page 9

A private liquor store is one of the services the Parkcrest Shopping Centre needs in order to survive, the mall’s manager told city council. Jak’s Liquor Store has applied for a rezoning of one of the mall’s stores to allow it to set up shop. Wayne Smithies, president of Martello Property Services, said the mall needs to offer a variety of stores to keep customers coming to the residential strip mall on Broadway. He pointed out the major tenant, Buy-Low Foods, isn’t allowed to sell liquor. “If we are able to provide full services in this centre, we will survive,” Smithies told council at a public hearing on March 27. Mike McKee, one of the partners in the familyowned Jak’s company, said he spent seven afternoons in front of the grocery store asking for support for the liquor store, gathering 1,016 signatures on a petition. “We were able to get overwhelming support,” said McKee, who added the other store operators in the mall support the Jak’s outlet because it will drive traffic to the mall. Jak’s operates 11 stores, including one attached to the Great Bear Pub on Kingsway. Continued on page 8

CITY COUNCIL

Parks, trails, roads set for upgrades Grant Granger

ggranger@burnabynow.com

Burnaby city councillors went on a bit of a spending spree last week, approving a plethora of projects at their March 26 meeting. One of the pricier plans calls for $1.8 million toward the second section of the Central Park Perimeter Trail. It will run for 825 metres along Patterson Avenue, the east side of the park, from Imperial Street to the Patterson SkyTrain station. Like the initial section,

which is on the west side along Boundary Road, the multi-use trail will be up to four metres wide with a porous, resilient surface that’s comfortable for walking and running, and quick-drying. It’ll also provide water and air percolation to nearby tree foot systems, said a report to council. “Every time I go by and look at this project it adds to Central Park. It’s highly used, and people are enjoying it,” said Mayor Derek Corrigan. “It accents the park.”

The first section also cost $1.8 million.The plan is for it to eventually connect to Kingsway. Corrigan said it will also

grade to Douglas Road estimated at $1.3 million is an example of how the city needs to upgrade to current standards from what he called inherited infrastructure deficits from “pennywise and pound-foolish” previous administrations. “Very often our staff gets blamed because there are roads that didn’t get done, but the reality (is they were) not done decades ago,” said Corrigan. The proposed project will see Douglas from Sprott Street to the freeway get a

curb, gutter and sidewalk on the west side and an urban trail on the east. New bus stops, streetlights, a grass boulevard and trees will also be included. Nearly $3 million will go toward new vehicles and equipment for the engineering department including: $400,000 for a new front-load refuse truck to accommodate the new four-day work week and delivery schedule; two dump trucks at $425,000 apiece; $300,000 for a mini-split Continued on page 4

Fire captain rescues elderly man from blaze Homeowner’s extensive book collection fuelled the fire that hit the Sumas Street house early last Friday Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A Burnaby fire captain singed his face pulling an elderly man to safety from the doorway of his burning house during a two-alarm fire Friday. Fire crews were called to the 6100 block of Sumas

Street just after 2 a.m. to find a single-storey house fully engulfed in flames. In the course of sizing up the scene, fire Captain Wade Robertson spotted a man passed out in the front doorway, according to acting assistant fire Chief Dave Younger. “The fire was going over

top of him, so he grabbed him,”Younger said of Robertson. “He was very close to the fire. … I think it was a great rescue by our captain.” The man, the home’s only occupant, was revived by firefighters, according to Younger, and then taken to hospital to be treated for

burns and smoke inhalation. Robertson, meanwhile, was checked out on scene for a minor heat rash near his ear,Younger said. Talking to media at the scene during the fire, assistant Chief John Titley had described the house as a “hoarder house,” but Younger, who was on scene a few hours after the first crews wrapped up, said it had been mostly packed with books.

“I walked through it after the fire, so you kind of get a different feel than when everything’s on fire,”Younger said. “This guy collected books. I mean, he had books – on racks – but everywhere, in boxes and stuff in the house. …This wasn’t like a hoarder house like where you go there and they’re keeping every kind of piece of garbage.” Younger said the books and papers in the house

“definitely” fuelled the fire, which broke windows and extended into the building’s structure. “The house was quite heavily damaged,”Younger said. “It looks quite bad to me. In my opinion, they’ll probably tear it down.” The cause of the fire is being investigated.

The protests at Burnaby’s Trans Mountain terminal indicate a growing crisis in British Columbia, according to Premier John Horgan. “This is not a threat by me.This is self-evident by

the number of people that are collecting on Burnaby Mountain every day to express their disappointment with the federal government’s decision to proceed,” Horgan said, speaking to reporters at a stop in Coquitlam lastWednesday. “There is a crisis emerg-

tensions around the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion project. “It was their decision, it was their choice,” he said. “I’ve not seen the prime minister come to address these issues in Burnaby. Perhaps he’ll do that in the short term.”

improvements. The parks, recreation and culture requests totalled nearly $3 million and included $595,000 in upgrades to its two golf courses ($370,000 for Riverway and $225,000 for Burnaby Mountain); a $100,000 wheelchair lift for the Burn-

Council also decided to spend $90,000 for a new offset press to produce signs and for the electrical and equipment upgrades to go along with it to replace one that is obsolete and requires frequent repairs and maintenance. “You’ve spent a lot of

money tonight,” Mayor Derek Corrigan said to city manager Lambert Chu. The bylaws authorizing all the expenditures will likely be given final adoption at a council meeting this month.

City now How much is too much for elected officials’ pay? Burnaby councillors are fine with MetroVancouver board pay raise, but not with new retirement allowance Grant Granger

ggranger@burnabynow.com

Although two Burnaby city councillors on the MetroVancouver board of directors voted against giving themselves a 15 per cent raise, they actually supported it.They just didn’t like the other half of the proposal. On March 23, the board decided to increase its pay to directors by 15 per cent as of Jan. 1, 2019.The move is to offset the federal government’s decision to eliminate a one-third, non-taxable benefit the directors have been receiving.The end result is they get the same take-home pay as they receive now. But it is also a $131,333 hit to the regional district’s budget. The vote also authorized implementation of a retirement allowance for current directors leaving the board. It will be retroactive to Jan. 1, 2007 at a rate of about $1,100 per year of service. In the future, it will be about $1,500 a year and there will be no cap on the amount they can receive. Councillors Sav Dhaliwal and Colleen Jordan, Burnaby’s representatives on the board, both voted against the bylaw.While they backed the pay raise, they opposed the retirement payment because they believe that type of compensation should be left up to the indi-

vidual councils, said Dhalipeople’s ability to put in 100 wal. per cent.” He agreed with the raise, He said the retirement alsaying local elected officials lowance, on the other hand, are underpaid and the fedis an issue that should be eral government’s decision dealt with by individual would mean a loss in net councils. pay.

It takes away from MetroVancouver to absorb

the costs of the two moves. “There’s probably enough leeway in the budget that it won’t make any significant impact. As noted, we have a very big number for our budget, and there’s contingencies and there’s surpluses, so it’s not going to make a difference,” said Jordan. “The tax rate is set, so it probably won’t make any difference in that. A half million dollars in a billiondollar budget is not going to make a difference.” The MetroVancouver decision was assailed by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF). “This is a slap in the face to taxpayers and voters in the MetroVancouver region,” Kris Sims, B.C. director of the CTF, told the Delta Optimist. “For these mayors and councillors to vote themselves a pay raise and a retirement bonus at a time when many won’t be running for re-election and facing the voters this fall is both unaccountable and unacceptable.This is the op-

posite of accountability and transparency.” Pay raises to compensate elected officials for the federal tax ruling are also being contemplated by local governments. Jordan said Burnaby council hasn’t taken an official position yet but has asked city staff to find out

I believe it shouldn’t just be for retired people

how much it would cost to make whole the council and mayor’s salaries.The latest available salary numbers for council are for 2016 when Mayor Derek Corrigan made a base salary of $130,000 and councillors received $59,377. Giving themselves a similar 15 per cent raise might be a dicey decision for council in an election year like 2018.

“That is a concern people will have,” admitted Dhaliwal. “I personally think it has to be dealt with. It should be taken to the public and say, ‘Here are the reasons why salaries need to be adjusted.’ I don’t believe people are going to say that sort of thing is not necessary because, if they see that suddenly the pay you are bringing in is going to be reduced by 15 per cent, people will understand that. I think it’s justified. I believe us, the elected officials, have to be a little bit more confident in ourselves.This is an area where people are going to support us, or at least we are able to make our case very reasonably.” Jordan said the timing for such a decision is never right, regardless if it’s an election year or not. “This whole thing for having to vote for your own raises is never a pleasant part of being a politician. But it happens at every level, so you have to learn to live with it,” Jordan said.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Metro Van board made the wrong call on pay Politicians making a bad decision about the future can be galling; a board of elected officials reaching into the past to wrong a right is infuriating. The majority of the MetroVancouver Regional District board voted to give departing members a retirement allowance retroactive to 2007.To their credit, Burnaby’s representatives, councillors Colleen Jordan and Sav Dhaliwal, voted

against the costly plan. But they were outvoted by their colleagues – and that leaves taxpayers on the hook for nearly half a million dollars. The $498,000 lump sum leaves taxpayers shelling out for today and yesterday. This getaway payday arrives at a time when private sector pensions seem like relics from the era of threemartini lunches. And despite assuranc-

Municipal politicians are very familiar with working groups, citizen boards, thirdparty information reports, alternative approval processes, referendums and other techniques that take decisions out of their hands. But when it comes to money, they decided to be hands-on. We hope the next board is hands off, especially when it comes to our pockets.

INBOX KEITH BALDREY

It’s a case of political déjà vu The list of things that link the current NDP government with the previous B.C. Liberal government is an impressive one. Both agree on building the Site C dam, wooing the LNG industry, allowing fracking, keeping B.C. Ferries out of central government and spending gobs of money on health care and government advertising. We can add another item to that list: jacking up the provincial debt by billions of dollars every year. In fact, over the next three years, the NDP plans to increase total government debt at more than twice the rate of the B.C. Liberals’ last three years in office. According to the government’s three-year fiscal plan, the debt is forecast to rise from the current level of $65.3 billion to $77.1 billion by 2020/21, an increase of $11.8 billion. In their last three years in office, the B.C. Liberals hiked the debt from $60.7 billion to $65.9 billion, an increase of $5.2 billion, less than half the amount over the same period than the NDP plans to spend. Of course, it should be noted the B.C. Liberals were in power for 16 years and the debt almost doubled on their watch, going from $33.8 billion to that $65.9 billion (although they paid off one key area of that debt – the direct operating debt, which represented accumulated annual budget deficits). But the NDP, once critical of the B.C. Liberals’ record on debt escalation, is about to go on its own merry spending spree.The gov-

ernment has an ambitious capital-spending plan that will build bridges, rapid transit, schools and hospitals (just as the B.C. Liberals did; voters like this). A new Pattullo Bridge, the Broadway subway line and Surrey rapid transit lines will cost the government around $4 billion, and indeed the fiscal plan shows transportation project spending will increase by at least that over the next three years. However, the fiscal plan appears not to include funding to build whatever will eventually replace the Massey Tunnel (potentially another $1.5 billion to $3 billion project).Then there is the debt granddaddy of them all: the Site C dam project, pegged to cost $10.7 billion and rising. The dam’s costs will not be included on the province’s books until it is in operation, likely around 2024. When the dam’s costs are finally included, our provincial debt levels will likely be approaching $100 billion (assuming the annual increase in debt remains about $4 billion). Now, this rise in debt is no cause for alarm, as long as the economy continues to perform reasonably well. Still, this all comes with a cost: interest payments on the debt will be close to $3 billion annually by 2020/21. So add another item to the-more-things-change-themore-they-stay-the-same list of common ground areas that exist between our two major parties. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Nightmare crash on Halloween

Every mother’s trick-or-treating nightmare came true for one Burnaby mom on Halloween night. At around 6:15 p.m. on Oct. 31, she was out trick-or-treating with her young son on Moscrop Street near Inman Avenue when he darted out into the street from behind a parked car. He was partway across the roadway when his mom called back and he was hit by a Chevy Blazer. He was rushed to Children’s Hospital and was in stable to condition days later. Police said neither speed nor alcohol appeared to be factors in the crash.

Lettersnow Burnaby needs a ‘better, honest’ development plan Dear Editor: Re: ‘Monstrous’ tower raises residents’ ire, Burnaby NOW, March 30. Without getting embroiled in the valid neighbourhood concerns of this development, I feel compelled to respond to some of the mayor and council comments with respect to a proposed 46-storey condominium tower to be built at the northwest corner of Lougheed and Springer Avenue. “Corrigan said the objective is to make sure as many residents as possible are taking SkyTrain and the city has already noticed a reduced need for parking in towers because of rapid transit.” Towers do not necessarily lead to more transit use and fewer cars. In fact, our analysis of 2016 census data from Metrotown undermines the mayor’s assertion. Census dissemination areas where new towers have been built and occupied show that residents are more likely to drive than take SkyTrain compared to residents occupying buildings in areas where demovictions had not yet taken place. Station Square, the Silver and Moda towers constructed before 2015 have vehicle usage rates at least 10 per cent higher than that of the older lowrises. In well-maintained older buildings along Willingdon Avenue in Metrotown, we see transit usage over 70 per cent compared to the city average of around 40 per cent. “The alternative to Burnaby going vertical, he said, is suburban sprawl in the Fraser Valley, which could cause commuters to clog Burnaby roads even more than they already are.” In addition to the extra traffic associated with

redevelopment in Metrotown and other town centres, Burnaby’s housing policies are actually contributing to urban sprawl by driving low- and middle-income families out due to unaffordability and loss of affordable rental stock. The annual population growth rate in Burnaby between 2011 and 2016 was 0.86 per cent. In Surrey it was 2.12 per cent; in Langley, 2.52 percent. While areas like Metrotown are seeing huge increases in population density, many single family neighbourhoods saw a decline in their numbers because working families cannot afford to live there. “Coun. Colleen Jordan, who chairs the city’s planning committee, said a Metro Vancouver regional growth strategy determined Burnaby will need to add 2,000 residential units a year to keep up to Greater Vancouver’s growing population.” The Regional Growth Strategy’s 2011 projections were never met in Burnaby. When they were revised in 2015, Metro lowered its population estimates by 7,000 to 270,000 by 2021 (3.2 per cent annually), but increased Burnaby’s housing projections by 2,800 to 117,800 by 2021. According to the census, there are over 98,000 occupied dwellings in Burnaby compared to 86,800 dwellings in 2011. Additionally, according to CMHC statistics, Burnaby had a net loss of 712 rental apartment units between 2010 and 2017. We need a better, honest development plan. Dwelling growth since 2011 has increased 2.6 per cent annually while population has only increased 0.86 per cent. The question is, will Burnaby residents continue to vote for politicians that are not acting in the best interest of voters? Rick McGowan, Burnaby

Petition supports liquor store Continued from page 1 Two local craft breweries offered their support for the store. Matt Martin, director of sales and marketing for Steamworks Brewery, which operates onWilliam Street near Boundary Road, said Jak’s has been a big supporter of craft breweries for years. Chris Lougheed of Burnaby’s Dageraad Brewing said he’s been doing business with Jak’s ever since it opened. “Burnaby is under-serviced for this type of store.

Burnaby is under-serviced for this type of store

There are quite a few government liquor stores, but not a lot of smaller stores that support craft breweries like us,” said Lougheed. When asked by Mayor

Derek Corrigan if there was a difference between private and government liquor stores for craft breweries, Lougheed said the government stores have a lot of restrictions on what they can stock. “In order to gain a listing, you have to attain a certain level,” said Lougheed. “We don’t produce enough volume to get a listing.” Although Dageraad is in some public stores in Burnaby, he said, it’s the small, private ones that are more knowledgable and the brewery does more volume with them than the government outlets. “We’re constantly searching for new and interesting products, particularly local,” said McKee. Fayaz Shivji, whose family has lived in the area for more than 30 years, however, is concerned the store will have a detrimental effect on residences surrounding the plaza. He said case studies show there are jumps in crime when beer and liquor stores open in residential ar-

eas, and the prices of homes drop two to four per cent. “That alongside with how near the Holdom SkyTrain station is draws concern to residents like us,” said Shivji with his father Diamond beside him. Corrigan said there is a Buy-Low grocery store with a private liquor store in the same mall at Royal Oak and Rumble in South Burnaby near his home. “We haven’t seen those kind of problems in my community, but I will ask staff to look at that and report back on it,” Corrigan told Shivji. McKee doesn’t believe property values and crime rates will be a problem at Parkcrest. “This is an issue we have heard in the past from residents in other areas where we have operated.The issue is nuanced; it can depend on the type of liquor store that is in place and the type of customer it is serving,” said McKee. The clientele, he said, won’t be looking for inex-

pensive liquor but more like “what to pair with salmon tonight or what’s the latest stout that has come out.” When the rezoning application first appeared before council on Feb. 26, Coun.

We haven’t seen those kind of problems … Sav Dhaliwal voted against sending it to public hearing, citing a staff report stating there are already several liquor outlet options not too far away. On March 5, council rejected an application to permit the relocation of the Hop andVine liquor store on Burnwood Drive to the Crest Shopping Centre on 10th Avenue after a petition signed by more than 50 residents was presented at a public hearing.

They’re building community through music Lauren Boothby

lboothby@burnabynow.com

Robert Stewart has been a musician most of his life. As a member of Burnaby band Rainshadow for the last 12 years, Stewart appreciates the value of the stage. “For creative people, I think it’s really important: they want to get their creativity out in public; it’s a way to express themselves,” says Stewart. But for many Burnaby artists, it can be difficult to find opportunities to perform.That’s why he’s partnering with the Burnaby Neighbourhood House to open up a new space. Starting April 5, Burnaby Neighbourhood House will be hosting open mic nights the first Thursday evening of every month at its community hall at 5024 Rumble St. Organizers hope to provide a venue for emerging singers, instrumentalists, comedians and poets to hone their talents. “When I was a high school student, we had nothing like that. I would have loved an open mic night where I could go and perform and sing,” says Stewart. An event like this could be beneficial for young artists, he says. “It gets them experience to perform in front of the public, helps them gain confidence,” he says. “I want to provide a safe, positive environment to provide that experience, and hope to encourage them to follow that path and continue that creativity.” Antonia Beck, executive director of Burnaby Neighbourhood House, said spaces like this used to be easier for young artists to find. Coffee shops and pubs used to host open mic nights, but now it’s difficult to find that space in Burnaby.

MUSIC FOR ALL: Robert and Sandy Stewart jam in front of Burnaby Neighbourhood House Community Hall on Rumble Street. Burnaby Neighbourhood House is hosting a new series of open mic nights starting this Thursday, April 5. PHOTO LISA KING

She’s happy her organization can host and facilitate the events, not just for the artists, but for community members and seniors who will be able to watch and enjoy the performances. “I think people will appreciate having a place to express themselves artistically, and also important is the role the neighbourhood house has in bringing neighbourhoods together, to create belonging and a sense of community,” she says. “I think having this monthly (event) will offer another venue and place for families and individuals and seniors

to come and have a low-cost place to listen to music.” Teens aged 14 and older, and adults of all ages, are welcome to sign up for a 10-minute set. Artists should arrive by 6:15 p.m on the day of the performance. Registration is firstcome first-serve, and the first seven performers are guaranteed a slot.There are no advance registrations. There will be special guest performers following the open mic portion of the event. South Burnaby musicians Dave Myles and Lucy Baja will do an acoustic guitar set April 5.

Printmaking, collage, bookbinding and wine are all on the agenda at Burnaby Art Gallery this spring Lauren Boothby

lboothby@burnabynow.com

Burnaby Art Gallery is freshening up its programming this spring with a selection of new workshops, tours and artist talks. The new programs are meant to encourage participants to interact with the exhibits at the gallery, with an emphasis this year on printmaking, bookbinding and related media. Christina Froschauer, who designs the gallery’s fine art programs, says their spring programs will be exciting for children and adults. “Participants are encouraged to explore their creativity in the cosy atmosphere of the Fireside studio,” she said in a release. Parents and their children ages four to six, and six to nine, can sign up for the Collage Masters classes that run on Saturdays from April 21 to May 12.The series will explore patterns and mixed materials with printmaking.They’ll look to inspiration from David Ostrem’s exhibit Why Won’t You Be Art? For wine lovers, there’s Printmaking and Pinot, an evening for adults 19+ to try out some different printmaking techniques with instructors while sipping on their choice of pinot (May 16, 30, and June 20). There’s something just for older adults aged 55+ as

well, with the Tea and Tour – a guided tour of the current exhibit, followed by tea and treats – on April 24 and June 19. New this spring is Nature Prints on Saturday afternoons starting April 21.

Participants are encouraged to explore their creativity …

Children ages six to nine will try different printmaking techniques using objects found in nature, like leaves, flowers, twigs and reeds, to make relief prints, stamps and collographs. The gallery’s popular In the BAG: Family Sun-

days series is back.The free, monthly drop-in program, starts with a gallery tour and ends with a different family-friendly art project each month, including photo abstraction, cartoons and collages. Those who came to the first bookbinding class can sign up for Bookbinding 202 from March 18 to 19, and learn advanced techniques for creating cloth bookcases, and a hardcover book.

Regent Fish Market new owners Jacob and Joanne Jeong

Q: WHAT DOES THE HEIGHTS MEAN TO YOU?

Through the 11 years I’ve been in Canada, I have managed and worked at many Canadian companies and at Japanese/Korean restaurants as a chef. Always having a

strong passion in providing fresh ingredients and being part of a friendly community, I coincidently came across this store. I’ve always heard many great things about this store and the Heights. The Heights is filled with great people and has a very friendly environment. It is an honor to be able to have a business running here.

Q: HOW DID YOU GET INVOLVED IN THIS BUSINESS?

I grew up near the ocean as a kid and have lots of experience with meat and fish due to my past jobs. Providing fresh ingredients and knowledge to the community is something I love to do. Fresh ingredients are something we value and always will value.

Q: WHAT PLANS DO YOU HAVE FOR THE FUTURE?

Our plan is to provide fresh products and provide valuable information on fish and seafoods with an influence on our experiences about our culture as well.

Most people have access to the Internet, so you can search any kind of topic and get some quick answers in layman’s terms. It’s very helpful as a starting point and a wealth of information,” Edwards says. If you can’t find what you are looking for online, and if the phone lines at CRA are too busy during this time of year, rest assured that you won’t be left high and dry. “Sometimes

Income tax isn’t the most riveting topic at a cocktail party, but we lucky residents in the Heights can take some comfort knowing that at least Burnaby Heights has us well covered for income tax filing help. We have no fewer than 11 tax accounting businesses in the neighbourhood. From smaller locally owned businesses to larger national chains – whatever your preference, you can find the support you need. And according to local tax accountant Len Stone of Stone Consulting, we can’t assume that it’s “same-old, same-old” from one tax year to the next. “Starting in 2017 when you sell a home you live in, you are required to report the disposition,” Stone informs us. And although the federal credit for arts and fitness is gone, all is not lost. Stone reminds us that we can still claim the BC provincial credits in 2017. Finally, because he wants to make sure that families keep

Artsnow THEATRE

Dark comedy tackles pipeline expansion issue Few issues are seizing the Canadian consciousness today as much as Kinder Morgan’s pipeline expansion, an issue Burnaby residents are all too familiar with. These themes take to the stage in the new production Bears, a dark comedy about the Trans Mountain pipeline, happening at the Cultch and presented by Alberta Aboriginal Performing Arts and Punctuate! Theatre. It runs from May 8 to 12. Floyd is the prime suspect in a workplace accident. He flees town and is pursued by the RCMP to the Rockies. By the time he reaches Burnaby, he’s changed: his gait is widening, his muscles bulging, and his sense of smell is heightening. Bears is “unapologeti-

cally political,” according to a press release from the Cultch. The multidisciplinary play – which combines dramatic storytelling, choreography, an eight-person chorus, projections and an electronic soundscape – aims to stir up discussion about the effects of greed on the lands belonging to Canada’s Indigenous peoples.The play was written and directed by Matthew MacKenzie and features a predominantly Indigenous cast, including Métis theatre artist Sheldon Elter. The Cultch theatre is located at 1895 Venebles St. in Vancouver. Tickets start at $22 and can be purchased by calling The Cultch’s box office at 604-251-1363 or visiting tickets.thecultch.com.

Indigenous voices: Bears, onstage starting May 8 at the Cultch, takes a look at the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project in what’s described as an ‘unapologetically political’ dark comedy. PHOTO ALEXIS MCKEOWN, CONTRIBUTED

Bears opens in preview on May 8, with opening night May 9 at 8 p.m. Regular 8 p.m. shows are on May 10, 11 and 12, with a 2 p.m. matinee on May 12. The May 10 performance includes a special “talkback” performance with a lively post-show Q&A session with the artists. – Lauren Boothby

Communitynow Squeeze more gardening into your life with podcasts Mark Cullen

Gardening with Mark

There is a way to squeeze more gardening into your life: podcasts. Increasingly, during long drives, plane travel or even puttering around the house, we find ourselves tuned into them. For the uninitiated, podcasts are audio productions, which can be downloaded to your phone and listened to anywhere.There is a wide variety of podcast genres, which typically have a host and follow the same theme each week or month. Some are adapted from radio shows and others are stand-alone programs produced exclusively for electronic medium. In recent years, the quantity and quality of podcasts has grown and filled just about every niche: politics, humour, sports and, of course, gardening. The beauty of podcasts is that you can listen to them anytime, often while doing

something else.They are a terrific way to get a gardening fix when you are stuck on a train, out for a walk, or even gardening in your head while gardening with your hands. Here are some of the podcasts I have been enjoying: The Garden Show Podcast with Charlie Dobbin and Frank Proctor is produced as a radio show for Zoomer Radio and distributed as a podcast online. Dobbin is a longtime garden communicator in Canada, having once hosted Once Garden,Two Looks on HGTV, among various other media endeavours, and Proctor is a career broadcaster, actor and children’s book author. The Garden Show follows a classic format where listeners can call in with their questions to have them answered by the hosts and their expert guests, and each episode is typically 40 to 45 minutes. I love this podcast because it’s Canadian, with

Canadian and international callers, and it’s a terrific way to hear what other gardeners are curious about while staying current with our gardening knowledge. (tinyurl.com/GardenShowPodcast) The Joe Gardener Show with Joe Lamp’l is produced as a podcast, and each week has a different theme ranging from raised bed gardening, to interviews with experts on subjects such as Japanese maples. Lamp’l is known in the United States for his gardening program on PBS, Growing a GreenerWorld, and while some of his topics are not totally relevant to the Canadian growing environment, we really like his organic approach. Each episode is roughly an hour long and is accompanied by indepth written material on his website. (tinyurl.com/ TheJoeGardenerShow) In Defense of Plants with Matt Candeias is produced as a podcast for true

plant nerds. Candeias told us that he started the podcast as “(his) attempt to cure plant blindness across the globe.”The show often features an expert guest from within a specific botanical field, which ranges from general houseplant talk to “Obscure Apocynaceae Appreciation” (episode 145). Episodes run from 30 minutes to an hour. (tinyurl. com/InDefenseOfPlants) The Fridge Light with Chris Nuttall-Smith is a CBC podcast that tells the “hidden stories of the things we eat.”While this is a food podcast, there is a lot here to interest the average gardener, and the average person. Episodes range from 30 to 45 minutes, and every time we learn something new. (tinyurl.com/TheFridgeLight) There you have it, one last thing to do indoors before you head outside for the spring: load your phone with these entertaining and informative podcasts so you can keep “gardening in your
