Will there be ‘chaos’ over pipeline?
Corrigan predicts opposition will escalate if the courts allow Kinder Morgan to go ahead with expansion Lauren Boothby
lboothby@burnabynow.com
Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan says the city will continue to use all legal avenues available to continue opposing the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion before he joins the protests himself, following Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s meeting with premiers John Horgan and Rachel Notley on Sunday. The mayor and Burnaby South MP Kennedy Stewart were among representatives of Lower Mainland governments and Indigenous leaders who met Monday afternoon to affirm their opposition to the $7.4-billion expansion of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline, which runs from Edmonton to Burnaby. Corrigan said he continues to believe in the legal process and that the courts will provide checks and balances on the federal government’s power, but he predicted opposition will escalate if the courts allow pipeline construction to go ahead. “If we reach the end of this and there is no alternative, then I think what Continued on page 3

predicting ‘massive civil disobedience’ if the courts allow construction on the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion to go ahead. But the mayor also says there’s a great deal of fighting left to do in the courts before he makes the decision to stand in front of a bulldozer, as he has previously said he’ll do.

Suspicious runoff prompts investigation Lauren Boothby
lboothby@burnabynow.com
The B.C. Ministry of Environment and the City of Burnaby are investigating a complaint about excavation at Trans Mountain’s terminal in Burnaby that may have led to a sediment spill at a Silver Creek tributary Friday, something a local streamkeep-
er worries could kill young salmon downstream. Mud and sediment from work at the north end of the property fell into the tributary, which runs from Burnaby Mountain, through Kinder Morgan’s property and down into Silver Creek, according to Burnaby streamkeeper John Preissl. A worker was on site with an excavator attempting to
remediate the area, which saw increased water flow due to heavy rain. “They should never be doing this in this weather. It’s pouring rain; it’s supposed to be raining all night,” Preissl told the NOW. “They’ve had a little bit of a breach from so much water coming down the hill.” Preissl thinks Kinder Morgan should hire a new environmental monitoring company
following the spill. “They have failed their first test with a minor rainstorm, and they are not ready for any real rainstorm in the following months,” he said. The streamkeeper told the NOW in January about the potential risks of rerouting Silver Creek and Eagle Creek Continued on page 4

Citynow Mayor predicts ‘massive civil disobedience’ Continued from page 1 they’re going to see is massive civil disobedience. There has been a taste of what could happen, an overture in the last little while, but I think people totally lose faith in our democratic system if they believe that the federal government has been able to impose its will,” he said. “I think we’re going to see chaos.”
I’ll make that personal decision if I believe I have no other options left.
Corrigan had previously said he would stand in front of bulldozers to stop the pipeline, but, for now, he will wait and see what the courts decide. “I’ll make that personal decision if I believe I have no other options left … There’s still a lot of fighting (in the courts) to go on before this happens,” he told the NOW. “I think some people are taking a very early approach to saying ‘I’m
protesting, I’m going to get out there and be arrested,’ but I’m reserving. I’m keeping my powder dry to find out if there is a time and a place for that.” Stewart, who was recently arrested after protesting at the Trans Mountain terminal in Burnaby (see related story below), said he would continue to oppose the pipeline and represent his constituents who oppose it. He accused the federal government of creating a “crisis” around the issue. “The prime minister has failed on this project. He is blowing this into a national crisis because of this mishandling of this file,” he said. Stewart pointed to comments made by Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr in 2016 that the federal government would consider using military force to ensure the pipeline is built. Stewart said that “as long as that is on the table for the federal government, I will continue to stand with my constituents.” Will George, a member of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation who has been involved with protests at the Trans Mountain terminal in Burnaby, said he expects protests to continue and actions to escalate.

Special prosecutor will probe MP’s case Kennedy Stewart will have to wait another couple of weeks to find out if he’ll face criminal charges for his part in anti-pipeline protests

Burnaby South MP Kennedy Stewart will have to wait another two weeks to find out whether he’ll face criminal contempt charges for breaking a court injunction at Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain tank farm on Burnaby Mountain last month. At a hearing in B.C. Supreme Court Monday, the B.C. Prosecution Service told the court it would proceed with criminal contempt charges against pro-
testers arrested at the terminal gate with Stewart and federal Green Party leader Elizabeth May on March 23 but that special prosecutors had been assigned to deal with Stewart’s and May’s cases. Assistant deputy attorney general Peter Juk had made the appointment because he considered it in the public interest, said Trevor Shaw, a lawyer for the prosecution service. “The appointments were necessary to avoid any significant potential for real or perceived improper influ-
ence in the administration of criminal justice,” he said. Stewart’s case has been assigned to Vancouver lawyer Michael Klein, while May’s case has been assigned to Greg DelBigio, another Vancouver lawyer. Their cases have been adjourned till April 30, when Stewart and May are expected to find out whether they’ll be among those facing criminal contempt charges. When asked outside of the courtroom whether he stood behind his decision to Continued on page 4

News now City staff will keep an eye out for spills in waterways Continued from page 1 tributaries on the mountain during the spring, calling it a “recipe for disaster.” In that interview, he said there would be runoff where crews were working, which could affect the salmon downstream. Runoff can fill the water with silt, causing breathing problems for fish and smothering their eggs. He fears he may have witnessed just that on Friday. “They’ve heavily sedimented the creek up, and that kills the fish downstream,” he said. “If they continue to do this in the rainy period over the next month-and-a-half, we’re going to have another issue. “We have to keep an eye on it. I knew it was going to happen.” Kinder Morgan previously told the NOW it would abide by its water management, erosion and sedimentcontrol plans, which include
installing silt fencing around stockpiled soils or disturbed areas. But there did not appear to be silt fencing in that location on Friday. Preissl said the company needs to stop working in the rain, install silt fencing
I will demand that they do that, for sure
on the north end of the lot and put down coconut matting to prevent future runoff from the site. “I will demand that they do that, for sure,” he said. Lizette Parsons Bell, lead of stakeholder engagement and communications for the Trans Mountain expansion, said the company is working
with the B.C. Ministry of Environment and responding to requests for information. “We immediately investigated and are continuing to investigate.We are keeping the ministry informed of our progress,” she said in an email statement. “Activities at site are guided by a sediment management plan and overseen by an environmental monitor. All required environmental approvals are in place to complete the work.” The City of Burnaby also looked into the reported spill. James Lota, deputy director of engineering, said they received a complaint about sediment in the creek at 2:30 p.m. on Friday, and at 3 p.m. staff reported the water was clear. No samples were taken, but they will be following up on the situation. “Our staff go up there regularly to check on the

stream, not just Silver Creek, but all our streams out there, doing our regu-
lar checks on all our creeks … to make sure that whatever was witnessed at 2:30
on Friday doesn’t happen again,” he said.
‘I’ve decided to stand behind my constituents’: Stewart Continued from page 3 break the injunction, Stewart said, “I have said all along, since I was elected in 2011, that my constituents are against this pipeline, my mayor’s against this pipeline, my premier’s against this pipeline, so I’ve decided to stand behind my constituents.” For the other protesters who appeared in court Monday, the prosecution service has recommended
prosecuting them in batches of 10, with trials starting May 7. “The (prosecution service) has concluded the criminal contempt proceedings are generally warranted for those who’ve been brought before the court after being arrested in breach of the injunction and the (prosecution service) should assume conduct of these proceedings,” Shaw said. The efficiency of the trials
will be expedited with lessons learn from the trials of the 2011 Stanley Cup rioters and the Clayquot Sound protesters in the mid-1990s, Shaw said While the plan takes care of protesters who’ve already been arrested, Maureen Killoran, a lawyer for Trans Mountain, also called for a system to be put in place for the RCMP to deal directly with the prosecution service after any future arrests relat-

ed to the injunction. “We have, to date, spent over $50,000 in disbursements just to effect service on the 167 civil contemners,” she said. “Trans Mountain would like to know how this process can then be streamlined into the Crown process.” Shaw said the prosecution would work on a process. Trans Mountain brought its civil case against Stewart, May and the other pro-
testers on March 29 for violating an injunction that banned them from getting within five metres of Kinder Morgan’s two Burnaby terminals. At a hearing on April 9, however, Supreme Court judge Kenneth Affleck said, if the facts were proven, the protesters’ conduct would amount to criminal contempt, and it shouldn’t be Trans Mountain’s responsibility to prosecute it.
On Monday, Affleck reiterated the trials would not be about the merits of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. “These trials will, of course, be focused on the issue of whether there was notice of the injunction followed by a deliberate, public disobedience of it,” he said. “That’s the issue.The question of whether the pipeline is a good or bad idea is not relevant.”

Cops shoot suspect with new ‘less lethal’ weapon Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
The Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team shot a man in Burnaby last week with a “less lethal” weapon it has been trying out for about six months. The ERT, which responds to high-risk, potentially violent incidents, responded to an incident at Burnaby Fraser Foreshore Park on Wednesday at about noon “as part of an ongoing police investigation,” according to Lower Mainland District RCMP Sgt. Janelle Shoihet. During the course of the incident, a man was shot with a 40-millimetre extended-range impact weapon. “The incident was safe-
This option will enhance police and public safety ly concluded with no injury as a result of the weapon deployment to the suspect,” Shoihet said in an emailed statement. “The suspect was treated on scene as a result of injuries he sustained during his attempts to flee into a bramble-filled wooded area.” The suspect was taken into custody, but Lower Mainland RCMP didn’t provide any more information about why he was arrested or possible charges.
Extended range impact weapons shoot blunt impact projectiles that cause enough pain to subdue a person but leave no lasting injury. “The ERIW’s (Extended Range ImpactWeapons) less lethal option provides us time and distance to safely manage and de-escalate a high-risk situation or dangerous individual that might otherwise require us to use lethal force,” Shoihet wrote. “This option will enhance police and public safety.” The ERT is currently piloting the use of the weapon, she said, and roll-out to detachments is expected sometime in the fall once training is completed. The public got a glimpse

Opinion now OUR VIEW
Are you ready for chaos on the mountain?
It’s been a long time since British Columbia was beset with the kind of highly charged situation that’s currently playing out on Burnaby Mountain. The mountain, and in particular the Trans Mountain terminal, has become the flashpoint for opposition to the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion – a $7.4-billion project that has divided the nation and provoked political posturing on a grand
scale. We have the federal government maintaining the pipeline is in the national interest, the provincial government seeking an answer to the question about its jurisdiction on environmental concerns, U.S.-based Kinder Morgan threatening to pull the plug, and Alberta’s premier threatening to put the squeeze on oil shipments to B.C. so we pay more for gas.
Right here at home, we have Burnaby city councillors continuing to speak out against the project and one NDP member of Parliament, Kennedy Stewart, facing the possibility of criminal prosecution for his part in anti-pipeline protests. Not to mention the host of folks from all walks of life taking stands on the pipeline issue – both for and against – in a variety of
ways, from turning up to block the gates of the Trans Mountain terminal to carrying on passionate debates on social media. Mayor Derek Corrigan suggests in today’s frontpage story that, should the courts allow the pipeline expansion to go ahead, we can expect to see “chaos” and “massive civil disobedience.” He’s right. The big question now is
whether mass protests à la Clayoquot Sound will have any effect at all on the outcome of this debate. Is Prime Minister Justin Trudeau really prepared to stare down the kind of opposition he’s likely to see should he attempt to force the pipeline through? Will the collective power of protesters – both Indigenous and non-Indigenous – be sufficient to stall the project long enough for
some kind of compromise to be reached? Or will “regular” folks whose voices could be the difference-makers find themselves less devoted to the anti-pipeline cause once they start paying $2 a litre for gas? It’s like one giant game of chicken – with the highest possible stakes. All we can do now is wait to see who blinks first.
INBOX KEITH BALDREY
Will Justin Trudeau blink? The prime minister talked a good game on the weekend about how the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion will be built, no matter what. Full stop. Now, it is one thing to invite B.C. Premier John Horgan into the same room, have a polite discussion about the pipeline and end the conversation with an agreement to disagree. It is quite another thing to watch what is likely to unfold in the months ahead, as hundreds of people (quite possibly more) are arrested for defying an injunction at the Kinder Morgan facility on Burnaby Mountain. They hope to inflict maximum political damage on the Trudeau brand. A former cabinet minister in the 1990s NDP government told me he wondered whether Trudeau had the political resilience to weather the coming storm. “We went through this with Clayoquot Sound, and Harcourt blinked,” he told me, referring to the forestry protests on Vancouver Island, in which more than 800 people were arrested. Trudeau won 17 seats in B.C. in the last election and a byelection since then. While opinion polls show more British Columbians tend to support the pipeline than oppose it, it is likely any hardcore opposition is rooted in Metro Vancouver, where most of those Liberal ridings are located. The question is, how much of that electorate will leave the Liberals over Kinder Morgan, and will it translate into a serious seat loss? The answer is unclear, but surely, some ridings will
be in jeopardy. Assuming Trudeau can hold his nerve in the face of mass protests, there are likely only two other obstacles in his path: B.C.’s court case on whether it can regulate the transport of bitumen, and a court challenge by First Nations opposed to the pipeline. Most constitutional experts have given B.C. a poor chance of winning in court, but given higher courts’ previous favourable rulings on First Nations’ territorial rights, a First Nations lawsuit has the potential to derail the project. Court challenges aside, Trudeau has another potential problem when it comes to relations with First Nations. Some leaders, such as Grand Chief Stewart Phillips of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, have threatened an “Oka-like” standoff. The “Oka crisis” involved a confrontation and standoff between the Mohawk First Nation and eventually Canadian Armed Forces troops sent in by the government. More than 40 First Nations back the pipeline project or have signed benefits agreements, which is a significant amount of support. But there is also considerable opposition, and Phillips’ warnings should not be discounted. It all adds up to a lot of pressure about to be placed on Trudeau’s shoulders. In the coming months, we’ll know if he can take it. But he’s gone all-in on the pipeline, and so if he wants to ensure his political future, no blinking allowed. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Judge moves hitman’s trial
A B.C. Supreme Court judge decided in January the accused triggerman in the murder of a young mother and former Miss Burnaby pageant runner-up wasn’t going to get a fair jury trial in NewWestminster. Alexandra Pesic, 25, was gunned down outside of her workplace in 1992. A NewWest jury had found her former mother-in-law, Jelka Pesic, and two others guilty of hiring a hitman to kill her. Because of the massive media attention those trials drew, Justice Thomas Braidwood ruled the trial of the triggerman, David Segoviano, should be moved toVictoria.

Lettersnow Do we need the pipeline? Dear Editor: I live in North Burnaby (Mountain area). I am personally inclined to be against the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion because it would go practically through my backyard. I am, however, disturbed by the way our government officials, MLAs, express their opposition against the construction of it. The way they openly defy the law, and are even proud of it, is despicable. There are other ways to protest and show one’s disapproval. Government officials are our representatives and should be an example for our younger generation how to live “democracy.” I am also a citizen of B.C. and Canada and have to look at what is good and beneficial for my fellow citizens, including our neighbours in Alberta. In the near future we will still depend on oil resources. I am still using, as most people do, a gas-powered car, though I downsized to a smaller, more fuel-efficient one. I cannot ride my bike anymore because of health reasons. Could we come to some sensible agreement with Kinder Morgan? I question if we, in the long run, need another pipeline. TransLink is experimenting with electro buses, electro cars become more affordable, China is producing electro cars which may affect our trade opportunities, and Europe is experimenting with alternative energy like solar and wind, tidal, biomass and safer nuclear energy. Our children and grandchildren may discover even more efficient energies. Will oil producers find it profitable in the future to build pipelines, which might be superfluous later on, when we have shifted to new cleaner, alternative energy resources? Helmut Lemke, Burnaby

City needs to protect the interests of its citizens Dear Editor: Re: Three more towers proposed for Metrotown, Burnaby NOW, April 11. Development is inevitable, and I in no way oppose it. However, it is up to the City of Burnaby and its elected officials to ensure that when development occurs the interests of all citizens in Burnaby are protected. That is the missing piece in developments across Burnaby. Over 200 suites will be eliminated in this development. Many of those units are occupied by workingclass people who undoubtedly will not be able to afford the new units replacing their present homes. Our city needs people of all income levels to provide us all with a sustainable and livable community. No thinking person would want to live where only those with extreme wealth can live and the people required to service even their needs must commute over long distances to get to local jobs. Burnaby urgently needs to use some of the surplus funds it sits on to help to provide lowercost accommodations for the average people who live here. Burnaby needs to establish zoning regulations and the legal framework necessary to promote the development of a wider range of living options. Serving only the top one per cent is no way to ensure Burnaby remains as a city open for all. Other communities have had to address these issues already, so the solutions are not new. They just require that elected officials have the courage to step up to their paymasters in the top one per cent and take action. Carl Dillon, by email

ZONING BYLAW AMENDMENTS
CITY HALL IN BRIEF
City council sends message to Humboldt The City of Burnaby is sending a letter of condolence to the Humboldt Broncos and the City of Humboldt following the bus crash in Saskatchewan on April 6 that resulted in 16 deaths and many other injuries. Coun. Sav Dhaliwal brought up the tragedy at council’s April 9 meeting and suggested sending a letter of condolence to the City of Humboldt. Mayor Derek Corrigan was on the same page. “I think everyone around the table was thinking about how we could do something in that regard,” he said. Coun. Paul McDonell
read out a prepared motion that expressed condolences to the players and their families.The motion passed unanimously. “I think many of us have had kids involved in sports and are travelling to games,” Corrigan said after the vote. “I know my son was playing hockey in Ontario, travelling to get to games on the bus with other players, and, every time they’re going off to a game, as a parent involved, you’re thinking about them and hoping that they’re safe. “It has to be the most difficult situation imaginable for a parent.” – Lauren Boothby
‘Book bikes’ coming to Burnaby libraries Burnaby’s libraries are about to get a boost after council approved four projects totalling $225,000 last week, including mobile libraries on bikes and new washrooms. Council approved $20,000 for “book bikes,” described in the staff report as “human-powered mobile library outposts.”The city will purchase one or more custom-made bicycle trailers, bike tricycles or electric bicycles to be used by library staff to reach community members outside the library who might not
otherwise visit the branch. The bulk of the funding will go to renovations at the Bob Prittie Metrotown branch, with $150,000 slated to renovate washrooms and improve accessibility, by replacing the existing family washrooms and parent’s room with accessible, singlestall washrooms. The Cameron branch will see $40,000 for new shelving in the children’s section, and another $15,000 will go to replacing a damaged microfilm reader. – Lauren Boothby
Changes may affect Metrotown parking The City of Burnaby is considering zoning bylaw changes that could have an impact on parking in Metrotown. Council is recommending expanding the payment-in-lieu-of-parking program, currently only available for comprehensive development (CD) rezoning requests, to all commercial developments and non-CD district commercially zoned sites in Metrotown.The program may later be expanded to include Edmonds, Lougheed and Brentwood town centres. According to the staff report, expanding the zoning “would help facilitate the adaptive reuse of existing commercial buildings, assist local businesses undergoing expansion that may be constrained by existing parking,
and support the city’s ability to offset costs of shared parking facilities.” This program is already being used on Hastings Street. The Metrotown payment-in-lieu-of-parking program currently requires developers to provide $10,000 per parking space, allowing a reduction of up to 20 per cent of spots from the standard requirement. Right now, there are 200 public parking spaces under the Metrotown Civic Square and the public library, and there is parking available at small lots and on-street. According to the staff report, the program has been used sparingly but is helpful when parking can’t be located on site. – Lauren Boothby

Travis Talbot
Company GATEWAY CASINOS Why is he in the news? When it comes to the food and drink business, Travis Talbot has done it all in a lot of spots all over North America. He grew up in Lethbridge, where he was often shipped out to his grandfather’s farm to keep him out of trouble, before moving to Calgary during his high school years. Now after two stints in Boston he’s returned to the Greater Vancouver area, where he previously worked in many capacities including owning a bar and running the Commodore Ballroom, to be the director of food and beverage for Gateway Casinos. The Burnaby-based company owns 26 properties in B.C., Alberta and Northern Ontario including the Grand Villa Casino in Burnaby and Starlight Casino in New Westminster. The NOW interviewed Talbot at Grand Villa’s Personas restaurant, one of more than 60 outlets he’s responsible for. – Grant Granger
By the sounds of it, the hospitality industry was in your DNA right from the start. I was working in a dish pit by the age of nine, working for my mom. I wouldn’t even say working, it was free labour back in the day. I actually spent all of my time either on the farms, or if I was in the city – even Lethbridge was considered a city – it was in the restaurants, I was working from the age of nine on. I got my first paycheque around the age of 14. Did you fall in love

with the business then, or did it take a while to grow on you? When you’re a kid, especially when your parents are telling you to do something, it’s always forced. But I definitely always had a passion for working with people. I always liked the energy of the hospitality scene. Even if it was a greasy spoon diner, just to see all those people coming in every day, day in and day out, the different stories, watching people evolve and grow up. No two days were ever alike. Ever, ever, ever. I think I was always attracted to it. I may not have been able to articulate it at a young age, but I think by the time I was a teenager and I was bartending underage at a night club
behind my high school, I had definitely found it was something I wanted to do and it was something I was passionate about. So at what point did you fall in love with it? It was while I was working on Electric Avenue, the famous or infamous, depending on which way you looked at it, Electric Avenue in Calgary. I was going to university studying veterinary medicine; that’s what the game plan was because growing up on the farm that was the intent. So I was going to university working nights in the clubs, I bounced at one club, I was a bartender at one club. I was working in a kitchen at another venue, but all on the Avenue. It was

pretty wild stuff. I’d go to school every day completely burned out, a complete disaster failing all my classes. I had a mentor at the time who basically said, “What are you doing? There’s a career here, and not just a job.This is what you excel at but you’re burning yourself out.You’ve got to make a choice.” He kind of said, “Listen, if you want to come into hospitality we’ll teach you what it is.”At the time, it was the sex, drugs and rock-n-roll world. Was there a time you realized this was it, this was me? We used to joke that throughout your career that if you were labelled a lifer, guys that stay behind bars for the rest of your lives.You

go through some ups and downs along the way, especially when this is an industry that so many of the people you work with and you’re working to develop are transient. Or it’s a stepping stone to other careers, especially with students, single parents. So you watch people evolve, you watch them come in, come out (of the business) and you’re constantly questioning yourself whether it’s a career or not.We used to joke around it was the hostility business, not necessarily the hospitality business. So there were many times, especially working in night clubs, you’re exposed to the darker side of life. It can get quite colourful, chaotic and it’s an intense environment and it

PREPARE HVAC SYSTEMS FOR WARMER DAYS AHEAD Spring is an ideal time to have HVAC systems inspected and repaired, if necessary.
The arrival of a new season can be an exciting time. Homeowners may have renewed vigor to start home renovation projects or even tackle some cleaning and organization tasks. Before the weather starts to warm up too much, homeowners may want to evaluate their home cooling needs and ensure that all equipment is in good working order.
Spring air conditioning inspections and tuneups are essential steps in system performance. Homeowners should not take for granted that a system that performed optimally last year will do so this year when temperatures climb.Various factors, including weather damage, dust and grime, mechanical wear and tear, and even rodent or insect infestations, can compromise HVAC systems. Since
HVAC systems have so many moving parts, a thorough inspection of such systems can save headaches and money down the road. According to Heating Ontario, the extreme weather conditions that come along with fall and winter can be especially taxing on homes and the systems that keep them comfortable. During a spring visit, an HVAC

technician will perform maintenance on the air conditioner and make sure it is ready for the heat of summertime. This maintenance may include cleaning the unit, checking controls, calibrating the thermostat, lubricating moving parts, checking refrigerant levels, tightening electrical connections, and clearing any clogs. Homeowners are urged to also change the filter at the start of the cooling season.
Correcting any issues in the HVAC system well in advance of the arrival of warm weather can help ensure comfort when air conditioning is needed. As an added advantage, homeowners should install programmable thermostats if they do not already have them to keep cooling as cost- and energy-efficient as possible.

People now Working to bring ‘that Vegas paradigm’ to Burnaby
Continued from page 11 and why I’m employed.You should never be able to tell someone what to do unless you can do it alongside them or have been in those shoes. Empathy is a big part of being a good leader and a good manager in this business. One of the exciting things of coming to Gateway is I’m learning gaming, which is a whole other side of hospitality. It’s always nice to know you don’t know everything, and there’s still a learning process going on. Did your mother’s (cancer) give you another perspective of being in the hospitality business? Not immediately when she was going through that struggle.We had a bunch of bedside chats. I would usually show up after driving from Calgary to Lethbridge and show up at her bedside a little bit banged up, a little worse for wear. My Chris Farley days, as my mom used to refer to them, or my Belushi days.We definitely had some heart-to-heart talks, and she had some sage insights. She never considered herself a server, she never considered herself a manager. She always considered herself a kind of community hub. She was the community counsellor. In the restaurants, bars and pubs, you’re catering to a community of all walks of life. So her biggest thing that she always tried to impart was you’re there to be of service to people.You’re not in the servitude game, you’re there to
be of service. And service can mean anything from lending an ear, to lending the last dollar in your pocket to just being available to provide food, beverage and entertainment. It took me another four, five, almost seven years before that actually resonated after she had passed on. It took a long time to sink in? It took awhile for me to get my act together, to clean up what I was doing. I was living the rock-n-roll lifestyle and it took a while to break out of that mould, taking inventory, taking stock of what
It took awhile for me to get my act together I was doing in this industry, what do I have to offer, is this the right thing for me? I started hearing echoes in my mom’s voice. Why, after making a mark on Boston’s cuisine scene, would you come back here? Boston is an amazing city. Boston, NewYork, Philadelphia, all being in such close proximity. But at the end of the day I’m still a bit of a country boy, and you get homesick. Boston was phenomenal, I can’t say a bad thing about it. I go back frequently, as much as I can. But there was some amazing things available to me here
with my friend Rob (Gateway senior vice-president operations RobertWard) with an aspect of hospitality I hadn’t been involved with before with the gaming. I lived inVegas for a while when I was doing my charity – my Michael Landon moment, as my dad calls it. ButVancouver and Alberta I have considered home and it was time to come home. There were some opportunities I couldn’t turn down. What direction are you looking for the company as a whole and the properties across the country, but also specifically (GrandVilla) and Starlight? It’s the mandate from my bosses that we want to be the biggest and the best, and being the best there’s a lot to that part.You can get fairly large fairly quick, but to still be considered to be the best or the industry leader or industry innovator, that’s a huge undertaking to absorb.The GrandVilla does a really good job of being a category leader in entertainment, gaming, definitely with food and beverage as it’s evolved over the last couple of years. Starlight, we’re headed in the same direction.With Starlight, it’s such a great offer that it’s become its own brand and we’re looking to replicate that brand in multiple markets.That’s a challenge too, to be confident in your offering to say, “OK, we’re going to replicate this,” without being arrogant about it. But we would

Hospitality first: Travis Talbot, the director of food and beverage for Gateway Casinos, took time out to chat with the NOW about his career in the hospitality industry and what he has planned for the company – including Burnaby’s Grand Villa. PHOTO JENNIFER GAUTHIER
be naive to say, “Are we doing this to just replicate this or are we doing this because it resonates with our audience?” We’re trying to be way more dynamic. An offering that appeals to a larger audience than just the gamers. Obviously we have some of the best gaming in the province, and we’re recognized for that, but now we’re trying to shift the paradigm to where we’re recognized for our (food and beverage) offerings, where we’re recognized for the talent we’re bringing into the organization that is seeking us out to join the organization.That it’s more entertainment. It’s an all encompassing entertainment package, and not just coming for one element of anything … It’s almost
thatVegas paradigm. Why the switch of Ebo to Atlas (Steak and Seafood) at this location? It was time. Ebo was a great product. It had a solid run. It definitely had a loyal following. But Atlas is our flagship brand that we’ve been working on for three years. It’s coming into its maturity, and we think the steak and seafood option, especially here on the West Coast and in Alberta, is definitely attractive to the marketplace. It was time for a fresh outlook and a fresh venue. Atlas is definitely our flagship.That’s one of our brands that we’re going to be working on, constantly elevating where it’s going too. And for the properties Atlas is going into,
we’re finding a bit of a marketplace that is a bit more niche, a bit more affluent and discerning about what they’re looking for in a dining experience. Atlas is now able to service that. There are different personas, so to speak, different energy levels that carry to different segments of the audience. Starlight’s a little more casual, a little more fun. GrandVilla’s a bit more of the refined, a bit more elevated. It has a clientele coming out that’s looking for a bit of a different experience.They’re different offerings all together, and they cater to different audiences.

Seniors say thank you to Citizen Support Services volunteers
Aruna and George emigrated from New Delhi, India in May of 2012.They had been visiting their 2 daughters in Burnaby for twelve years and found it heart breaking every time they left. Life in Canada was good, people were kind and friendly. At this late stage in their lives it was difficult to leave their roots and sometimes it made them sad.
Citizen Support Services volunteer Eric (centre)
Joining Citizen Support Services gave them the opportunity to meet people every Thursday at the Lunch Program held at Confederation Centre and to enjoy a monthly bus outing with the Gadabouts.“The volunteer drivers call you, let you know when they are coming and always come on time.” The Burnaby Better at Home Program is such a help providing light housekeeping every two weeks.” The grocery Shop-by-Phone has been such a boon. I am finding that it is not easy to get on and off the bus anymore and to walk. Everybody is so kind and compassionate. You fall in love with the situation.” “I am impressed with how meticulous and well organized the programs are”. Aruna and George want to thank the volunteers who have helped their quality of life here and made it less stressful. If you have some spare time and would like to help drive housebound seniors to a weekly lunch or to meet a bus for a monthly outing, please call Citizen Support Services at 604-294-7980.

We love volunteers at the Burnaby Village Museum! Volunteers are at the heart of every great program and event at the Burnaby Village Museum. For over forty years, dedicated volunteers have helped the Village become the exciting, vibrant and educational place that it is today. Each year, approximately 180 volunteers contribute over 12,000 hours. Burnaby Village Museum Volunteers l-r, Chris Foxon, Paul Harris, Stephanie Dean
The volunteers bring a diverse and incredible set of talents, experiences and skills to the Museum and help “History Come to Life” for our visitors. Our volunteers help to lead educational school programs, assist with community events and share their specialized skills to offer one-of-a kind public programs such as Model T Car Rides and Auto Shop Apprentice. There are also volunteer opportunities behind the scenes; researching, cataloguing and providing updates to the museum database. This year saw the completion of research by the curatorial volunteers and re-launch of the Pharmacy exhibit! Each year in February the Museum hosts a Volunteer Appreciation Tea to acknowledge the extraordinary commitment of our volunteers. Our Emeritus program continues to grow as more volunteers, instead of retiring from the museum, are staying connected to the museum family by attending monthly learning workshops, attending volunteer appreciation events sharing information updates through our monthly newsletters.

serves as our ambassador, meeting the public and speaking at special events. Historically, the Reeve’s position in Burnaby transitioned into that of the Mayor. Mr. Alan H. Emmott served as the City’s last Reeve and its first Mayor (1958-1968). During the 1920s, the period represented at the Village, the Reeve was the most senior administrative position. To our Volunteers, August is known as the month of the Barbeque. This social tradition allows our volunteers and staff a chance to sit back, relax, and to enjoy a casual meal together. Many stories are told and friendships formed over ice cold glasses lemonade. During this event, Museum Staff provide very attentive table service as a special thank-you! The Museum continues to improve its volunteer in-take processes, training and learning opportunities. There are 2 intake periods during the year; March-April for spring and summer opportunities and October-November for the fall and winter. During the last orientation and training session, held in March, seventeen were approved and are now full-fledged BVM Volunteers! The Learning Workshops, for our volunteers, feature a different speaker and subject each month. Topics/ activities have included exhibit interpretation techniques, Indigenous flora & fauna tours, and select Burnaby history subjects. More information about becoming a BVM Volunteer is available on-line at: burnabyvillagemuseum.ca/volunteers
Volunteers are the heart of our society. Thank you to our Volunteers for all they give.

Dry grad events are alcohol-free parties organized by parents for high school graduates.Typically they’re an all-night party with music, activities, prizes, food and lots more.
Across the province, more than $278,000 was raised between March 4 and 31. “We are thrilled by the level of support B.C. liquor stores’ customers have shown for this year's Support Dry Grad campaign,” said Blain Lawson, general manager and CEO, Liquor Distribution Branch, in a press release. “The response clearly demonstrates the level of commitment from our customers and employees to keeping alcohol out of the hands of minors, and encouraging them to participate in safe, fun and memorable graduation celebrations.” TICKETS STILL AVAILABLE Have you got your ticket for the State of the City luncheon yet?

HEALTHWISE
editorial@burnabynow.com
As a medical student, I soon recognized that the happiest of my patients told their life stories quite differently.They accepted the same illnesses, accidents and losses in life but also recognized with gratitude the gifts that they had received – aspects of their health that continued to thrive, good fortune that came when most needed and, most importantly, love and kindness shared – particularly from family and friends who had passed on. If tomorrow you met a friend you had not seen since early childhood, how would you tell your life story? How do you reflect upon the past – what do you regret and what do you appreciate? How you judge others and judge yourself can impact your happiness in the present and how you continue to see and live your life. Is there another way to tell your story?
Though we cannot change the events of the past nor circumstances beyond our control, we can change our points of view. You can rewrite our life stories for the better.We can each be an agent of positive change in the writing of our own stories from this moment forward. HOW POPULAR CULTURE MISLEADS US The happiness that popular culture promises us is ultimately unsatisfying and in fact leads to emptiness and greater unhappiness. The common belief is that we are happy when we get what we want; happiness comes from the satisfaction of our cravings (for material things, sensual pleasures, wealth, prestige, status, power, the latest fashion or the newest iPhone). But none of these things last, and neither does the satisfaction we experience.
doesn’t last. Nothing lasts. If your desire is to remain youthful for the rest of your life, you will ultimately be unhappy. If you seek to accumulate wealth and hold onto it forever, you will never be satisfied. If your goal is to be free of aging, illness, accident or loss, you will not find happiness. If you expect your best relationships to stay the same your whole life, you will be disap-
pointed. In our youth, change means growth, and we welcome adventure. In our early years, we are looking forward. With age, change can be seen as a decline in our minds, in our bodies and in our relationships.We look back to what we have lost, and we look forward to further loss. We forget that we are al-
ways growing and have the potential for positive change even in the face of difficult circumstances and personal loss. This insight into the reality of change can heighten our appreciation for every moment and all our experiences without aversion or clinging.We must appreciate what we have when we have it. Every gift that we hold (including those we
love most) is not ours to hold forever.We must love and appreciate others while we can and let go when we need to. Dr. DavidicusWong is a family physician. His Healthwise column appears regularly in this paper. For more on achieving your positive potential in life, see his website at www.davidicuswong.word press.com.

Burnaby event helps newcomers get settled Janaya Fuller-Evans
editorial@burnabynow.com
Getting oriented in a new place can be hard – finding services, getting work and joining a community takes the right connections, especially for new immigrants. The Canadian Immigrant Fair aims to help newcomers by providing access to service providers, workshops, information and more. “There are lots of things to see and do, and lots of people to connect with,” said Margaret Jetelina, editor of Canadian Immigrant. “I think that’s what’s most important – the connections.” Canadian Immigrant, a national magazine and events producer, is organizing the free Burnaby event. The fair includes exhibitors such as career advisers, educational institutes, social service agencies and hiring companies. People can bring their resumés to the free resumé clinic for oneon-one advice. There is also a speakers’

series that includes a small business workshop by Trish Mandewo, an English pronunciation class by Catherine Steele and a multicultural women’s Q&A. Public Mobile, an associate sponsor of the event, is providing a LinkedIn professional photo booth so attendees can get professional headshots for social media.
The fair began eight years ago in Toronto and is a national event, with fairs taking place in eight cities this year.This is the first time one is being held in Burnaby, according to Jetelina. There are more than 300,000 immigrants and refugees arriving in Canada annually, according to Canadian Immigrant. Many
have professional careers in their countries of origin but need assistance establishing themselves in Canada. The main goal is to inform and link immigrants with the information to help them succeed, Jetelina said.
“There are so many great services out there for newcomers,” she added. “(But) they might not know where to go.” Those interested in attending the free fair are encouraged to register in ad-
vance at www.canadian immigrant.ca/careerfair/ metro-vancouver. The Canadian Immigrant Fair takes place on Thursday, April 26 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Hilton Vancouver Metrotown.

proving your personal culinary imagination. A wise man once told me “How can you cut any wood, if you don’t sharpen the saw every now and then?” Trial and error is the best way to learn.Yes, I did say “error.”You are going to make some mistakes along the way. The important aspect of this is to be OK with making these blunders.This is
all about personal growth in the kitchen. These errors will hopefully help you figure out what works and what doesn’t, which in turn will assist you with future escapades in the kitchen. If you are still at a loss as to where to begin, then go ahead and find a recipe that represents something completely different than what you would normally cook, and make it.
What I want you to do then is make notes on the recipe on how you would recreate it to make it your own.What ingredients could you add, take out or replace? What do you think will work? Again, there will still be a learning curve to this, but it is a starting point nonetheless. Most importantly: make notes. It may seem tedious to do, but you will want to recreate dishes that work, and try not to make the same mistakes with the ones that don’t. We keep a book of blank pages in our kitchen, called our kitchen journal, which we fill with ideas and culinary pathways we have tried. Have fun with it. Everything is perspective. The added benefit is that every time you choose to cook at home, instead of eating out, you open the door to: saving money, eating healthier and family team building.

When was the last time you unleashed your culinary talents? I don’t mean cooking from your favourite cookbook; I am talking about making something in the kitchen completely from the ideas in your head and following your taste buds along the way. If your first inclination when reading this makes you cringe with stress, I am here to help. Let’s face it, we all have kitchens and we need food to stay alive, so why not try to bring your cooking ability to new heights every now and then? These are life skills that will influence your dinner table for years to come. Honing these skills will not only bring some excitement to your regular meal planning, but also increase your confidence in the kitchen. The easiest way to ap-

The next step is to investigate what you have in your refrigerator and pantry and start choosing some base ingredients to work with. Maybe something you have an abundance of, or something you have forgotten about. Have a look in your freezer, too, while you’re at it.You’ll be amazed at what you find to work with. Although it would be very traditional, with either pizza or pasta, to start with a base tomato sauce and add your selected ingredients to it, I want you to try something different and out of the ordinary. For example, I have made pizzas with a sauce that consisted of cream cheese, dates, raw garlic and salt; and just last night I made a lamb rigatoni that used no tomatoes at all. If your mind draws a blank, then it is fine to peruse the internet for some ideas to get you started, but try not to follow recipes specifically.This is about im-

ON COOKING
proach this is by beginning with meal ideas that use a blank canvas as a starting point. Being a chef, people always ask me what my favourite things to cook are, and I usually answer “pizza and pasta.” These bases are perfect lacklustre starting points that can be influenced in so many ways with unlimited ingredient and idea combinations. The first thing is to keep it simple. If it is beyond your desire, capabilities or time frame, I am not expecting you to make the pizza or pasta dough from scratch. Simple pre-made pizza crusts and dried pasta is a good enough start. In a pinch I have even created individual pizzas from pita or naan breads. Again, this is not about producing the canvas, it is about your creativity on the canvas. Making the canvas is something that you can pursue later down the road if desired.

Jr. Lakers jobs up for grabs Burnaby team fields competitive races in preseason By Dan Olson
dolson@burnabynow.com
They’ve only had one exhibition test, where just four returning players were in uniform, but the Burnaby junior Lakers’ coach is encouraged with his club’s prospects heading into the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League season. As with many of his rivals, coach Jason Dallavalle will have a very different roster come May 6 when the Lakers’ season begins against Victoria. “I’m very excited. It’s a good time of year for us, as coaches this is when we make big strides in our teams development and focus on specific things,” said Dallavalle. “It’s a big challenge for us.” Looking to make inroads and join the ranks of those competing for a playoff spot, Burnaby has a strong returning core expected to fill the green and white jerseys by the time the season hits the one-month mark. However, to improve and compete against the likes of Coquitlam, New Westminster and Langley, an injection of skill and intensity is needed to raise the bar internally. Dallavalle feels that by the time the first group of collegiate players start returning home, next week, the battle for playing spots will increase. “We get six out of the 15 missing back before the season starts (on May 6), trickling back by the end of April,” he said. “We had 19 players missing from our potential roster (in Saturday’s exhibition game).That’s quite a substantially different roster.” In the test match against PoCo, the Lakers in attendance got a little taste of what junior A lacrosse is like in what was an 8-4 loss. Considering 18 of Burnaby’s players were making their junior A debut, while the Saints’ lineup had twice as many returnees dressed, the result wasn’t surprising. It allowed the Lakers coaching staff a chance to evaluate a number of graduating midget players, as well as some intermediate Continued on page 30

Barzal, Nugent-Hopkins to play at worlds Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Mathew Barzal will be flag carriers from Burnaby when Canada takes to the ice for the 2018 International Ice Hockey Federation’s world championships next month in Denmark. The pair were among the first list of selections who accepted the invitation to represent Canada, following the end of the NHL’s regular season. Canada’s roster of 19 – with more potential additions following the end of the first round of NHL playoffs – includes Edmonton’s
Connor McDavid and Vancouver’s Bo Horvat. At 25, Nugent-Hopkins brings a varied list of international experience to the roster, including playing for Team North America at the 2016 World Cup of Hockey. He captained Team Canada at the 2013 IIHF world junior championships, and competed in 2010 in the Ivan Hlinka under-18 Memorial tournament. As a former NHL Entry Draft No. 1 overall selection, NugentHopkins has been in the spotlight for numerous years. In his seventh
season with the Edmonton Oilers, the forward counted 24 goals and 24 assists in 62 NHL games. Barzal, 20, will be representing Canada for a fifth straight year, after playing in the world junior championships in 2016 and ’17. He was also in red and white for the 2015 and 2014 under-18 worlds, as well as the 2014 Hlinka Memorial tournament. Barzal is one of the top candidates in the voting for the NHL’s Calder Trophy for top rookie, after posting 22 goals and 63 assists in 82 games with the New
York Islanders. Both Barzal and NugentHopkins came up through the Burnaby Winter Club and led the program to separate Western Canada championships. The IIHF tournament kicks off May 4 when Canada plays the U.S.They are also slated to play Denmark, Finland, Germany, South Korea, Latvia and Norway. The final is slated for May 20. Canada has won two of the last three titles, beating Russia in 2015 and Finland in ’16, before falling to Sweden last year in the final.

Burnaby club hosts arm wrestling tournament to help raise funds for Turkey trip
It’s a test of strength and will. But when the Vancouver Arm Wrestling Club gathers on Saturday, it’s also going to be a test of support for their fellow wrist grapplers who want to represent Canada at the 2018 Arm Wrestling world championships in Turkey. The Burnaby-based club is hosting a fundraiser at the Admiral Pub where newcomers, pros and veteran arm wrestlers will have a chance to earn local bragging rights while helping support Team Canada. “It’s going to be a full tournament, with pro class, 19-and-over amateur, both men and

women divisions, and if we have enough entries, a masters class,” noted organizer Anthony Dall’Antonia. Having been involved in the sport for more than 16 years, Dall’Antonia said the fundraiser is being carried nationally, with clubs across Canada offering similar events to raise funds for those who will head to Turkey in October. Dall’Antonia, a Burnaby North alum, has hosted the Vancouver Arm Wrestling Club in his garage over the past years. And as national champion from 2005 to 2016, he’s put his knuckles and elbow on the line for a chance to
represent Canada. He travelled to the worlds in Brazil, Japan, and, most recently, Malaysia in 2015. “Usually, people try to gather their own funds, get sponsors for themselves but it’s not easy,” he said. “We thought this was one way where we could help out.” The event is free for fans, with the $20 entry fee for competitors going towards the national team. A raffle and a pub-promotion burger deal will also provide opportunities to support the athletes. The event starts at 1 p.m. at the Admiral Pub.

Last hole Townsend dashes out eighth fastest 800m decides u15 Burnaby’s Nathan Mah sets personal best in 200m by cracking 22-second mark Ford title By Dan Olson
dolson@burnabynow.com
Burnaby’s Luna Lu was one of just two girls in the under-15 division to crack the 80-shot barrier, finishing second at the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour’s Ford Series tournament at the Chilliwack Golf and Country Club. And it came down to the final hole, where Langley’s Erin Lee broke the tie. Lu, 11, led after an opening round of 75, firing par on 13 holes and a birdie on the par-5 11th hole. Lee, 12, stood one-shot back after the first day but posted three birdies over the final round and parred the 18th hole, to edge Lu, who bogeyed the par-4 hole, by one shot. Lee finished the second day with a 6-over-par 78 for a two-day total of 154. Lu, meanwhile, closed out with a round of 80 to place one-stroke back at 155. In third place was Coquitlam’s MartinaYu with a two-day tally of 163 (81, 82). In the girls 15-18 division, Burnaby’s Emily Xu put up a respectable tworound total of 160 (81, 79) to place fourth overall, 11 shots back of Vancouver’s Angela Zhang, who won it based on excellent sub-par rounds of 69 and 70.
Simon Fraser University junior Addy Townsend ran a personal best and clocked an NCAA automatic qualifying time of 2:06.83 in the women’s 800metre event Saturday at the Triton Invitational track and field meet at La Jolla, California. Teammate and senior Vladislav Tsygankov also ran a season best and improved on his national ranking in the 400m hurdles, while the women’s 4x400m relay
team improved on its time and climbed higher in the national rankings. Townsend ran her fastest time ever in the 800m to finish second overall in a crowded field of 68 Div. 1 and 2 runners, comingfrom-behind to break the 2:07 barrier for the first time ever. Townsend’s time was the eighth fastest time in Great Northwest Athletic Conference history. She ranks fifth nationally. Danielle McCormick of Alaska Anchorage, the 2018 NCAA Div. 2 indoor 800m champion,
finished first in a time of 2:06.17. Competing in the 400m hurdles on Saturday,Tsygankov moved to seventh in the national rankings after finishing second in 52.15 seconds. It was the fourth fastest time in GNAC history for Tsygankov, who holds the conference record of 51.48, set last year. The women’s 4x400m shaved another 10th of a second off their time to break the NCAA provisional mark and put the team in the rankings at No. 14. Runners Bryce West, Sophie Dodd,
Renate Bluschke and Townsend, who ran third and used her long stride to take the lead, carried off the invitational section title with a time of 3:47.82. Burnaby’s Nathan Mah broke the 22-second barrier in the 200m for the first time, finishing in 21.98. He ran 10.91 in the 100m. Senior Joel Webster ran his fastest 400m in two years, coming second in 48.04. It was also the ninth fastest time in GNAC history.Webster already holds the eighth fastest mark of 47.99.
Burnaby looks to youth to climb junior ranks Continued from page 29 players who are pushing for positions. Among those who made an impression were Aiden Galt, defensive-minded Jacob Dowell, Brian Madill and returning sniper Damon Prince. “(Galt) was one of the best players on the floor for both teams,” said Dallavalle. “Prince, who played for us last year, is a guy we kind of expect to dominate on offensive possession this season.” The on-floor leadership will be buoyed with the return of captain Patrick Shoemay and Jordan Gabriele next month.
As to the netminding duties, second-year goalie Elijah Uema-Martin, nicknamed Bear, has one spot sewed up. But a three-way battle for the team’s backup is likely going to result in more competition down the stretch. “I think our No. 2 goalie, whoever it may be, will give Bear a push. It won’t be as clear cut as last year where (since graduated Graham Husick) was the starter, and things happened and Bear became the starter. It won’t be as clear cut.Whoever is in that No. 2 spot will push for the starting role,” remarked the coach. Those making their case for that role are
Matteo Tak,Tyler Pongracz and Karter Williams, with only Williams possessing junior A experience. Every layer of experience added over the next few months should pay dividends, Dallavalle added. It was evident in just three periods on Saturday. “You could see improvement, with players getting a little use to the pace of play and the physicality of the junior league,” he noted. “For a lot of players coming out of midget, the speed and physicality is quite different. Even for the guys who played intermediate A last year, the game is quite different.”

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.
