Death threats, graffiti aimed at camp Anti-pipeline protesters on Burnaby Mountain are facing hostility Lauren Boothby
lboothby@burnabynow.com
Although protesters on Burnaby Mountain have been seeing some support from people in the community, hostility appears to be growing toward those staying at the camps outside the Trans Mountain terminal. The Burnaby RCMP is following up with a man after he allegedly issued death threats against occupants of the Indigenous watch house east of Trans Mountain’s tank farm in April, the NOW has learned. Over the weekend, occupants of Camp Cloud also reported their structures were vandalized, with intimidating messages in black spraypaint popping up overnight Friday, telling the group to “go home,” “f*** off” and “protesters not welcome.” In response to a question about escalating action against protesters, Burnaby RCMP said they will respond as necessary. “The RCMP will take appropriate action in response to criminal offences, federal law violations and provincial regulatory offences, within the usual limits of police discretion,” said Cpl. Daniela Panesar in an email statement sent to the NOW.

Low-income renters aren’t the only ones being displaced by big condo tower projects in Burnaby. Rats are also on the move because of heavy building construction in the city, according to pest control company Orkin
Canada. Burnaby ranked third in the company’s Rattiest Cities rankings this year. Only Vancouver and Victoria – at first and second respectively – are rattier, according to the list. The rankings are based on the number of residential and commercial rodent treatments Orkin performed in 2017.
Reasons for the high number of rat calls in certain cities include plentiful water sources, high population densities, older buildings, organic waste programs – and construction, according to the company. “Construction displaces the rats, so they’re going to scatter,” area manager Trine Butler told the NOW. “It doesn’t necessarily mean we’re getting more rats, but you’re

City installs barricades at Burnaby terminal Lauren Boothby
lboothby@burnabynow.com
The City of Burnaby installed cement barricades around the entrance to the Trans Mountain terminal Friday in a move to make it safer for those using the area. Workers closed off road access near the site Friday morning until around noon to install approximately 700 metres of cement barricades along Shellmont Street and Underhill Avenue, providing a barrier between tents and the road, and creating space for walking paths on both sides. Burnaby city manager Lambert Chu said the barricades were installed as a safety precaution. “We had planned to install safety measures on Shellmont and Underhill rising out of concerns
that had been conveyed to the city by the community in the area, residents in the area, and also occupants of protests in that area, regarding a number of things: speeding vehicles, and sometimes people are walking along the street and don’t feel safe,” he told the NOW. While the general public was turned away from the construction site Friday, members of the protest camp were allowed to stay during construction. “We respect the right to protest and freedom of speech, and at the same time we’re mindful that we need to maintain public safety on city roads as well,” he said. “Camp Cloud is allowed to remain under the court order issued by the Supreme Court of B.C., so we don’t have the authority to remove the camps.”
Installing the barriers also removed parking along Underhill Avenue north of Forest Grove Drive, something Chu says he hasn’t heard complaints about from those who live in the neighbourhood.
We need to maintain public safety …
But Elauna Boutwell, who is staying at Camp Cloud, said she was surprised to learn the barriers were going to be installed Friday morning. “This is unceded territory, and we are asserting that we need to work toward what consent looks like, and I didn’t feel that it was necessarily the case,” she told
the NOW. “It doesn’t quite feel right the way it all went down.” Douglas Corlett was visiting the protest camp Friday from Alberta.While he knows the barriers make the area safer, he wonders whether they will have an effect on protests and if they could potentially stop the camp from growing. “It blocks off people from getting to the gardens … and it blocks them from building anything new there,” he told the NOW. “I’m guessing they don’t want the little camp to keep getting extended any further. I don’t know that for sure, but it would have that effect, wouldn’t you think?” Chu agreed the barriers could stop the camp from expanding in some areas but said that was not the city’s objective. “The location of the bar-

riers, they also become an impediment for them to do whatever they want to do, but we put the barriers there for the primary purpose of public safety and road safety,” he said. No barriers will be installed on the north side of Shellmont Street because
that would mean crossing into the zone covered by B.C. Supreme Court injunction on Trans Mountain’s property. The city has asked Camp Cloud to move structures back from the road so the remainder of the barriers can be installed.
‘We’re creating a safe space, and then it’s just desecrated’
Continued from page 1 The RCMP received a report April 11 about a man making derogatory comments and verbal threats toward occupants of the “watch house” – the structure built by members of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation east of Trans Mountain’s property during the protest March 17 – and began in-
vestigating the allegations immediately, according to an email statement from the RCMP. A male suspect was identified and has since issued an apology to the group. No charges are being filed. Meanwhile, residents of Camp Cloud may be feeling on edge after their structures were vandalized this
weekend. Elauna Boutwell, who is staying at the camp, said the group fell asleep around the fire Friday night and woke up to find their tents and shelters had been vandalized. “It was pretty disturbing to wake up to,” she told the NOW, particularly noting the words painted on
the shelter built for women, two-spirit people and children. “You came out of the space, and the message was for the people in the cabin, and then again on the ramp.” Messages on the ramp are now covered by black plastic mats, and other graffiti has been covered by red paint.
“That’s what really makes me angry: we’re creating a safe space, and then it’s just desecrated,” she said. “I’m disappointed.The word ‘cowardice’ was put out there, that it was a bit of a coward move, but I feel kind of invaded. I don’t feel unsafe, but it kind of makes me think.” Panesar indicated the
RCMP was aware of the graffiti, but it had not been reported to police. “Burnaby RCMP continues to monitor the demonstrations to ensure the safety of everyone and will make every attempt to resolve issues peacefully,” she said.

Where there’s smoke, there’s a fire academy Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
Burnaby North Secondary Grade 12 student Lucas Smith stands in full firefighter gear with his uncle, local fire Captain Russ Flasch, and looks way up at a ladder angling into the blue sky from a fire truck 70 feet below. “Have you ever been up there?” he asks. Flasch, a 26-year firefighter, assures him he has – many times. Smith is about to face his fear of heights for the second time at the Burnaby Fire Department’s youth academy. Yesterday he was belayed from the top of Firehall No. 1’s 70-foot training tower three times. “Once you went down, it wasn’t that bad,” he says. “You got more comfortable with it.” Smith was among 15 local high school students from across the district who faced their fears, learned life-saving skills and earned graduation credits in the four-day program from April 23 to 26. He says he signed up because he wants to be a firefighter one day, like his uncle. “It’s awesome,” says Flasch. “I think it’s a great experience for them.They see the news and they hear stories at family gatherings and stuff like that, but this gives them more of a real appreciation for what it’s really like. I think a lot of peo-

ple when they’re younger think, ‘Oh, I want to be a firefighter; I want to be a police officer,’ but the tangibles of what it really is, they don’t know for sure, and this is real exposure.This is really what our job’s like.” While attracting future recruits is one of the objectives of the academy, it’s not the only one, according to deputy fire Chief Chris Bowcock. “If they aren’t interested in that trade, we’re very sure they’re going to take away some positive life skills out of this,” he says It also gives the fire service another way to connect with people in the commu-
nity – both those who are already interested in the fire department and those who don’t know much about it, according to the deputy chief. “We want to show the community what we do,” he says. This is the second year the department has put on the academy in partnership with the school district. Last year it was held during the summer, but organizers moved it to a school week this year because some students are away or unavailable during holidays. This year’s group – 12 boys and three girls – were chosen from 29 applicants.
FRESH CHOICES
Captain Ian Heatherington and others in the fire department’s training division have put the students through their paces, teaching them how to climb up ladders, hang off buildings, cut up a car using the Jaws of Life, handle hydrants and hoses, and, of course, put out fires. “I love it,” Heatherington says. “It’s great, just getting to see the kids. I remember being that age, and there was no programs like this.” All the participants also left with a Level C CPR and AED certificate. “I’m hoping they won’t have to use it, but, potentially, they’re armed with the
tools to potentially save a life,” says chief training officer Bob Rossignol. The local firefighters’ union (IAFF Local 323) pitched in by taking the students to Taylor Park Ele-
mentary to read to primary students and promote literacy. Union volunteers also hosted a graduation barbecue for participants and their families.

Cineplex gaming complex gets approval from council Lauren Boothby
lboothby@burnabynow.com
A new entertainment venue at Brentwood Town Centre is one step closer to becoming a reality. Shape Properties’ zoning request to build The Rec Room, a Cineplex Entertainment concept at 4501 Lougheed Hwy., passed third reading at a recent council meeting.The venue would be located within the entertainment area of Brentwood Town Centre, with food and drink areas and arcade games including a virtual reality simulator, ping pong, billiards and bowling. The Rec Room will be open between 11 a.m. and 2 a.m., and liquor service would be from 9 a.m. to 2 a.m., seven days a week.
LIQUOR STORE GETS OK FOR PARKCREST Plans for a new liquor store are going ahead after the project faced some opposition at a public hearing in April. The property owner hopes to build Jak’s Liquor Store at 5901 Broadway, at Parkcrest Plaza. Most responses at the public hearing were positive, with 39 letters, a petition with more than 1,000 signatures, and five speakers supporting the project. But not everyone is in favour of a new liquor store at that location. Council received two letters and heard from two speakers at the public hearing against the proposal. Opponents were concerned about the store’s proximity to a school, increased crime in the area,
and reduced property values. Coun. Sav Dhaliwal also voted against sending it to third reading. ROAD UPGRADES OK’D Burnaby council is getting ready to spend nearly $2 million on road upgrades this year. More than $1.3 million of that money is earmarked to repair roads in central and south Burnaby in 2018, as part of the city’s Local Road Network rehabilitation plan. Upgrades to Marine Drive from Boundary Road to Patterson Avenue, and Sussex Avenue to Byrne Road will cost over $9 million total: $247,000 this year. Empire Drive is also due for improvements, with $345,000 going toward the $4-million project in 2018.

Opinion now OUR VIEW
Day of Mourning offers a sobering reminder The B.C. Day of Mourning was held across the province on Saturday with 40 ceremonies marking the deaths of those who lost their lives on the job. The numbers released by WorkSafeBC to mark the occasion are sobering to look at. In B.C. in 2017, 158 work-related death claims were accepted byWorkSafeBC. Imagine that – 158 people dying just because they were working.
In breaking down those numbers,WorkSafeBC says that 87 (55 per cent) of those deaths were due to occupational disease, largely from exposure to asbestos decades ago, and 71 (45 per cent) resulted from a traumatic injury, including 28 from motor-vehicle incidents. Last year, these were the job sectors that had the most work-related deaths: ! construction (51)
! manufacturing (33) ! services (26) ! primary-resources sector (15) ! transportation and warehousing (22) If there is anything positive to be gleaned from these numbers, it is that they are likely to drop considering that asbestos exposure is becoming far less prevalent than decades ago. WorkSafeBC also says that when it comes to work-
Imagine that – 158 people dying just because they were working. er deaths from traumatic injuries, the numbers continue to drop in B.C. Between 1996 and 2017, the rate fell
by 56 per cent. Unfortunately, deaths from occupational disease continue to rise with a jump of approximately 33 per cent from 1996 to 2017. The work-related death rate in 2017 for all deaths has fallen by 30 per cent since 1996. Governments of all levels must continue to put resources into the enforcement of workplace safety regulations to ensure com-
panies don’t cut corners when it comes to safety. Training is also paramount. One positive project that coincided with the Day of Mourning was 145 high schools taking part in a special effort to raise awareness with youth about the importance of safety. Last year, six young workers died of work-related injuries. Hopefully this project and other efforts will ensure those numbers decline.

Pipeline tests federal strength Is Canada about to undergo a transformation that weakens the central federal government and strengthens individual provinces? That scenario may well occur if the B.C. government wins the reference case it put in front of the B.C. Court of Appeal. In it, the B.C. NDP government wants the court to rule on whether or not it can regulate heavy oil shipments that arrive from another province. If the court – it will likely be up to the Supreme Court of Canada for a final judgment – sides with B.C., it fundamentally alters the balance of power in the country. Provinces would then have the power to block any substance or commodity and any project from coming within its boundaries, no matter how many times the federal government may have ruled otherwise. It would be a landmark ruling, although constitutional experts give B.C. little chance of winning its argument. Alberta Premier Rachel Notley has said a legal victory by the B.C. government would be an economic disaster for Canada. “The powers that they are seeking through this court reference are a recipe for economic gridlock,” Notley said, noting other provinces could claim similar powers and tie up the flow of goods. B.C. has dismissed such concerns as overblown rhetoric and insists this controversy is simply about a province trying to protect its coastline from possible environmental destruction.
Still, more than one observer has noted B.C. is doing nothing about the 26 million barrels of bitumen that already flow each year through B.C. via pipelines and railcars. A bitumen spill is a bitumen spill is a bitumen spill. Yet B.C. apparently thinks such a spill that occurs with the existing pipeline is a risk worth taking. Further muddying this potential breakdown of federalism is the Saskatchewan government, which has launched its own reference case challenging the federal government’s power to impose a carbon tax on the province.This move came after Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe threatened to follow Alberta’s lead and turn off the oil taps to B.C. No doubt cheering both provinces on are Quebeckers who would love to see a weakened central federal government. The pipeline issue is turning provinces against each other, and against the federal government.Who knows what effect this critical impasse will have on Confederation, and whether it will lead to a balkanization of the country. Opposing the Trans Mountain pipeline is either the biggest example of NIMBYism we have ever seen in this country, or it is a passionate defence of environmental values. Depending on the outcome, the federal government will come out of this imbroglio stronger than ever, or forever weakened. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Opinionnow Don’t use tax dollars to help damage the climate Dear Editor: An open letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: B.C. Nature (the Federation of B.C. Naturalists), representing over 50 naturalist clubs and more than 6,000 members throughout British Columbia, stands behind the intent of the current B.C. government in its opposition to the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion. As naturalists (and British Columbians and Canadians), we deeply value the quality of our air, water, land and its inhabitants. From our perspective, the pipeline and the consequences of its operation gravely threaten the integrity of B.C.’s coastal, river and stream ecosystems as well as the long-term economy and quality of life for human residents in one of the most livable places on earth. With climate change upon us, we should be spending our money to fund alternative energy projects to achieve a postcarbon economy rapidly, rather than subsidizing or investing in a sunset industry. We believe that we, in B.C. and all Canadians, have a right to a healthy environment: one that we can pass along to our progeny and they to theirs. We also believe in a truly sustainable economy, and that requires an optimally functional environment. Many of our ecosystems and their inhabitants are at risk: the dwindling orca population off our coast is but one example. We do not know at what point the consequences of added anthropogenic pressures to them will become irreversible. We urge that the precautionary principle be

Quit blaming residents for city’s bear problems Dear Editor: Re: Burnaby residents urged to secure garbage after problem bear euthanized, Burnaby NOW, online, April 25. It’s wrong to blame the residents when this is almost entirely the city’s problem. The City of Burnaby should install bear-proof garbage cans in all city parks and distribute bear-resistant bins to all residents, as we have been asking them for many years. In my last correspondence with the City of Burnaby sanitation department over two years ago, I was told they were “investigating” and that I was not allowed to buy a bear-proof bin, nor modify the one I had. What could possibly take so long? Many of our neighbouring cities have had them for years, and WildSafeBC has bins that have already been tested and recommended. Stop blaming the residents.

Lower Mainland residents have until May 11 to comment on a proposed $7.3-billion regional transportation plan that includes more than a billion dollars in upgrades that will benefit Burnaby transit users. TransLink launched a public consultation on Phase 2 of the Mayors’ Council 10-year plan Monday. The two biggest projects proposed in Phase 2 are the expansion of the Millennium Line west along Broadway to Arbutus Street in Vancouver and a light rail line in Surrey (for an estimated combined total of $4.45 billion), but it also includes money for planning a potential future Burnaby Mountain gondola – a decade-old idea. Other Burnaby-specific parts of the plan include

upgrades at the Brentwood SkyTrain station and money to design future upgrades at the Edmonds station to “increase passenger capacity, accessibility, amenities and improve neighbourhood integration,” according to TransLink. Burnaby residents will also benefit from other improvements to the Expo and Millennium lines, including 203 new train cars and upgrades to operations and
maintenance centres, mainline power and control systems that will support more frequent and longer trains.

She recommends clearing a metre-wide perimeter around buildings to prevent rats from sheltering alongside them long enough to find an entrance. She also recommends trimming tree branches that

Environmental Protection Notice Application for an Approval Under The Provisions of the Environmental Management Act We, Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC, Suite 2700, 300-5th Ave SW, Calgary, AB, T2P 5J2, intend to submit this application to the Director to authorize the discharge of treated stormwater, considered effluent under the Environmental Management Act, for a maximum period of 15 months. The source of effluent discharge is stormwater runoff which may be generated from construction activities within the loading, storage and shipping areas within the facility property, but outside the existing permitted storage area within the dyked tank farm. The land upon which the facility will be situated, and the discharge, will occur at: Westridge Marine Terminal, Lot 186 PL: 38021 DL: 216 LD: 37 New Westminster Group 1, located at 7065 Bayview Drive, Burnaby, BC, V5A 4T3, within the City of Burnaby. The maximum rate of stormwater effluent discharged from this facility will be a 6,480 m3/day or 589,680 m3/year. The stormwater effluent discharged from this facility as a result of proposed construction activities will ultimately discharge to Burrard Inlet within the inner turbidity curtains maintained during the full duration of construction and will be regularly treated and monitored. The operating period for the facility will be 24 hours/day, 7 days/week. The stormwater runoff (sediment laden water measured by total suspended solids (TSS)) will be treated and monitored under a permit limit of 75 mg/L TSS. The types of treatment to be applied to the stormwater discharge are: water treatment through dedicated facility, runoff controls, and erosion and sediment control measures. Any person who may be adversely affected by the proposed stormwater runoff of effluent and wishes to provide relevant information may, within 30 days after the last date of posting, publishing, service or display, send written comments to the applicant, with a copy to the Regional Director, Environmental Protection at authorizations.north@gov.bc.ca. Please ensure that you reference the proponent’s name and the location of the proposal in the submission to the Regional Director. The identity of any respondents and the contents of anything submitted in relation to this application will become part of the public record. Dated this 2nd day of May, 2018.

City now Bear warning issued in city
One Burnaby bruin has already had to be destroyed
Unnecessary: A garbagehabituated bear was trapped and euthanized in Burnaby on April 12. The B.C. Conservation Officer Service is urging people to secure garbage as bruins emerge from hibernation.
Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
Burnaby residents in denial about living in bear country need to take a look at the stats – and the body count – according to the B.C. Conservation Service. Bears have barely begun to emerge from hibernation, and one garbage-habituated bear has already had to be destroyed in the city, according to the service. The male black bear was trapped near Robert Burnaby Park and euthanized on April 12 after seven garbage complaints. “We have to take into consideration the risk to public safety; that’s our number 1 consideration,” conservation officer Clayton Debruin told the NOW. “We don’t get into the job to destroy wildlife, but we have a responsibility to respond and reduce the risk that food-conditioned and habituated bears present.” The conservation service got 700 bear-related calls from Burnaby last year, mostly centred around the Burnaby Mountain
PHOTO CONTRIBUTED
and Burnaby Lake areas, but Debruin said many residents still think warnings about securing garbage and other bear attractants don’t apply to them. “I can assure them, if they live around Burnaby Mountain or Burnaby Lake, there are bears amongst them – it’s just that they aren’t aware,” he said. “Sometimes people will attribute their garbage being tipped over to the wind or small critters, but, in fact, many a time, it is as a result of bears accessing their garbage.” Skeptics should check out WildSafeBC’s online (Wildlife Alert Reporting Program) WARP map at warp.wildsafebc.com to see what wildlife is being reported in
their neighbourhoods, he said. As bears continue to emerge from hibernation seeking food, Debruin said the public needs to do its part to manage attractants, like garbage, organic waste, barbecue grills and bird feeders. The conservation service recommends storing garbage and organic waste in a garage or shed and freezing smelly materials, like meat waste, until pickup day. “I, for one, think we are very privileged to have the wildlife around our area,” Debruin said. “It’s a sign of a healthy ecosystem, but, if we want to continue enjoying seeing wildlife, we have to obviously learn how to coexist with them.”
‘High-risk’ violations earn WorkSafe fine Owner is appealing $20,000 fine Cornelia Naylor
cnaylor@burnabynow.com
A “repeated and high-risk violation” at a Burnaby worksite has cost a Surrey construction company another $20,000 in fines, according to WorkSafeBC. Modern Touch Construction Ltd. was framing a two-storey house at 6260 Royal Oak Ave. last November, when a WorkSafe inspector witnessed two of the company’s workers working on the roof at heights between about 14 and 25 feet without fall protection, according to WorkSafe. The inspector also noted missing guardrails, an unguarded basement stairwell, two damaged wooden step ladders and scaffolding that wasn’t wide enough and wasn’t properly secured. WorkSafe further found Modern Touch hadn’t provided its workers with adequate instruction and supervision to ensure their health and safety at the site. This isn’t in the first time Modern Touch has been fined for violating fall-protection safety regulations at worksites in Burnaby.
In 2015, the company was fined $5,000 in March for violations at a site at 8603 10th Ave. and $9,368 in August for violations at a site at 4494 McKee St. At the McKee site,WorkSafe said workers were exposed to 12to 20-foot falls onto construction debris and exposed rebar. WorkSafe said those infractions “were committed knowingly or with reckless disregard.” Modern Touch owner Jasmeet Sangha is appealing the latest fine.While he and another worker weren’t wearing fall protection that day, he told the NOW they “were not that high.” Sangha complied with most of the WorkSafe orders related to the November inspection by the following day, according to WorkSafe, and Sangha said “anybody can come and see” his current worksites. “Everywhere I using the fall protection and the guardrails. I learned my lesson many times,” he said. Sangha said he has also paid for all of his workers to take a fallprotection course.

City now Walk With Your Doc returns to Burnaby Janaya Fuller-Evans
editorial@burnabynow.com
Most of the time when someone tells you to take a walk, it’s an insult.When a Burnaby doctor does it, it’s an invitation. Fifteen Burnaby doctors are stepping up to stroll the track at Confederation Park on May 10 alongside their patients and community members. It’s all part of Burnaby’s Move for Health
When we’re moving, our health benefits Day, taking place at locations throughout the city from May 5 to 13. “Every physician that goes out is on their own volunteer time just giving to their own community,” Dr. Davidicus Wong told the NOW. “So that’s kind of an unusual thing too, because usually people just see their doctor in their office or clin-
ic or hospital, they don’t see them going out giving talks or walking on the track or walking on a trail promoting physical activity.” Wong is giving a free public health talk at 6 p.m. before the walk, which begins at 6:30 p.m. “We were really made to move.When we’re moving, our health benefits but when we don’t, we suffer. We’re built to move and when we don’t our muscles atrophy, we lose our sense of balance,” he said. “Walking is such an accessible physical activity that we want to encourage the people to maintain the ability for their whole lifespan.” Not only is walking an activity most mobile people can take part in, it has clear health benefits,Wong said. “It’s good for maintaining a healthy way to keep our bodies conditioning our hearts and lungs, so we can do normal, everyday activities,” he explained. “But also cardiovascular health improves our cognition, our thinking, our memory and our agility.Walking, like any
Walking the walk: Local doctors are getting ready to take to the track at Confederation Park, where they’ll be joined by community members for Move for Health Day. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED
other exercise helps with managing our emotions – when we’re stressed, going for a walk is beneficial.” The walk is in its third year, according to Wong, and is a Doctors of B.C. initiative that takes place on the World Health Organization’s Move for Health Day. Since its inception, more
than 200 walks have been organized in B.C. communities. “It was physicians that were part of Doctors of B.C., who were involved in the health promotion committee,”Wong said. “And that’s such an important part in what we’re doing to educate and promote
healthy living rather than just treating medical problems when they come in to see us in our clinics and offices.This is more preventive care, proactive care.” To register for Walk with your Doc, go to walkwith yourdoc.ca. For more info on Move for Health, go to Burnaby.ca/moveforhealth.

Floral fashion show coming to Metrotown Fleurs deVilles Mannequin Series returns to Metropolis this week Janaya Fuller-Evans
editorial@burnabynow.com
The world of fashion design can be challenging – perfecting the flow of a gown or spending hours on beading is not easy. But the materials make the dress, and creating couture is even more difficult when working with flowers. The Fleurs de Villes Floral Mannequin Series is returning to Metropolis at
Anything is possible when it comes to fresh flowers
Metrotown, and two Burnaby florists will be competing. Passion Floral Boutique has been at Highgate Village for nearly 14 years, according to owner Choymann Lo. Lo was approached to be part of the mannequin series. “It was a challenging thing to do,” she said. “It’s not every day I get to dress
a mannequin.” She is excited about incorporating plants and fresh flowers in the piece, she added. Lo is using succulents on the back of the dress, with the front a mix of birch bark, orchids, roses and filler plants. “The main colour scheme is going to be purples, whites and greens,” she said. Lo faces two challenges with the project – getting it from the shop to the mall and keeping the flowers fresh. “Everything needs to be hydrated very well before it gets attached,” Lo said. “You rely on the mechanics behind putting the flowers on the mannequin.” The other Burnaby florist competing in the series is returning for a second year, after winning three awards at the 2017 Fleurs de Villes. Natalie Chow, owner of Lotus Flower Boutique on Dawson Street, comes from a family of florists. She’s hoping to create something on par with last year’s winning mannequin. “Hopefully this year we can put it in to play as well as we did last year,” she

Chow learned a lot from the previous event, she told the NOW. “It was such an amazing experience,” she said. “Anything is possible when it comes to fresh flowers.The shapes and everything they
made, it was completely different.” However, one thing will be one major change for Chow this year – her mentor, who helped her last year, will be competing against her. “The pressure is on,” she
said. While last year’s mannequin was quite dramatic, with peacock feathers and deep colours, Chow is working with a lighter palette this time around. “This year we’re doing a really clean, pure look,”
she said. “We’re using soft whites and pinks and succulents and stuff like that.” The Fleurs de Villes Floral Mannequin Series is at Metropolis at Metrotown from May 2 (today) to 6. For more information, go to fleursdevilles.com.
Mental wellness workshop offers help for students Janaya Fuller-Evans
editorial@burnabynow.com
It isn’t just reading, writing and ’rithmetic that make high school and college students worry – there is plenty to stress out about when you’re starting out in life. The Mental Wellness + You workshop aims to deal with these issues and more with young adults in Burnaby. The workshop takes place during the Simon Fraser University and City of Burnaby’s Festival of Learning on Monday, May 7 at the Bob Prittie branch of the Burnaby Public Library. The idea for the workshop evolved from feedback after the Life after High School workshops put on by Empower the Future, according to Shawna Narayan, the organization’s executive director. “We gathered their feedback, analyzed it and found
there was an alarming rate of students that had concerns about their mental wellness as part of post-secondary education,” Narayan said, adding the comments ranged from concerns about leaving high school to fears about what awaited the students in college. Those attending the workshop will hear from students who have been in their shoes. “Through this workshop, we have students that have gone through mental distress and have been able to tell their stories as part of their healing,” Narayan said. “It’s kind of an example for students that are kind of feeling the same way.” Narayan also has an understanding of what students go through. “For me, when I was in high school, graduation was an exciting but really scary thing, especially because I was moving away from
home, I was going to be on my own, I was studying at UBC,” she said. “There are always difficulties along the way that post-secondary schools don’t always talk about.” The workshops teach a number of stress management skills, including time management and communication skills – something many people overlook as a way to deal with stressors, Narayan said. “It can be really helpful to talk about your stress with assignments and academic related things to your professors and counsellors and advisers.The earlier that you talk to them about it, the earlier they can help and intervene,” Narayan said. “I like to say that’s my number 1 thing, and a way that I advocate for myself, and I don’t really think most students know that because they find that professors are often intimidating.”
Stopping stress: Shawna Narayan (bottom row, centre) and the Empower the Future team will be running a free workshop on student mental wellness at the Festival of Learning. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED
Students should keep in mind that professors are human and they do care, she added. “Your education is important to them as well, and
they want to help you, even if it is something like an emotional issue that you’re having, talking to them can always help with your academic stresses,” Narayan
said. High school and post-secondary students who wish to register for the free workshop should go to mental wellness-you.eventbrite.ca.

Five Burnaby high school teachers have joined forces to make sure their students get to prom – and get there looking fabulous. It all started with Byrne Creek Community School science teacher Anja Zulic’s spring cleaning. She figured some of the dresses taking up space in her closet might be put to better use helping students struggling to afford prom. “A lot of them have expressed that prom is just too expensive,” Zulic told the NOW. She reached out to colleagues and floated the idea of collecting gowns for students. Soon, fellow Byrne Creek teachers Maria Fraser, Laida Falsetto, Mirella Gargiulo and Meena Mangat were on board planning a pop-up prom sale for grads. On Friday (May 4) at lunch, students will get a chance to peruse dresses,
The teachers first appealed to friends and family, but Fraser, who got married just last year, also put the call out on the Greater Vancouver Wedding Swap and Shop Facebook group. “Everyone’s generosity has just been so beautifully overwhelming,” Zulic said. Fraser said Byrne Creek prides itself on its sense of community and family, and the pop-up prom sale just made sense. “We feel like every student should be able to attend their own prom and not let affordability be a factor,” Fraser said. “If we can just provide an easier avenue for them to do that, that just warms my heart.” The teachers are still accepting donations.To donate formal wear – gowns, shoes, accessories – call the school or email maria. fraser@burnabyschools.ca. To donate to the bursary, visit byrnecreek.burnaby schools.ca and look for the School Cash Online link.

It was actually a Burnaby beekeeper on the Heights Garden tour that got Ninna and I excited about honeybees and harvesting our own honey. We’ve been backyard beekeeping

for several years now and when the chance came to expand our hobby into a venture that could inspire a growing number of budding beekeepers, honey lovers and
gardening enthusiasts, we thought it was a natural fit. Q: WHAT PLANS DO YOU HAVE FOR THE FUTURE?
“It was actually a Burnaby beekeeper on the Heights Garden tour that got Ninna and I excited about honeybees and harvesting our own honey.”
Beekeeping is seasonal with peak periods in the spring and early summer, so we’d like to even out those busy times by helping to inform, educate and do some outreach about
honeybees, mason bees and other pollinators. We’d love for every school, community garden and city block to have a bee hive. Until then, support your local, neighbourhood beekeeper!

Indigenous Cultural Presentations
For over a century, Chinese Canadian market gardeners have been growing produce on small plots of land in south Burnaby. Many of these farmers came from the Sze Yup region and the county of Zhongshan in Guangdong province, China. This spring, students from a UBC Asian Canadian and Asian Migration Studies course are visiting Guangdong to study traditional agricultural practices and learn more about how they were adapted to farms in BC. Visitors to the Museum can wander our new demonstration market garden, and talk to the students about their research. Heritage Burnaby BV017.36.7

SUMMER CAMPS & ACTIVITIES GET PREPARED FOR SUMMER CAMP SEASON
Don’t delay, start planning kids’ summer recreation now Many families spend winter figuring out how to chase away cabin fever and endure frigid temperatures until spring and summer mercifully return. Parents thinking ahead to swimming pools and days lounging on the beach can put their daydreams to practical use by planning ahead for their youngsters' summer vacations. Youth recreational programs and summer camps can bridge the gap in care between the end of school and the day when classes resume. Due in part to high demand, parents who want to place their kids in summer rec programs or summer camps should being vetting such programs and camps well in advance of summer.The following are a handful of tips for moms and dads who want their kids to have fun and fulfilling summers. " ASK FOR RECOMMENDATIONS. Speak with fellow parents and trusted friends about where they send their children. Personal recommendations can be very helpful, providing firsthand insight into a particular camp or program. Schedule appointments to visit camps that fall within your budget.Take your son or daughter along so he or she can get a sense of what camp will be like. " EXPLORE ALL OPTIONS. Camps come in more flavors than ever before. Certain camps may be faithbased ministries while others may focus on particular sports. Band camps and art camps may appeal to creative kids. Also, there are plenty of general-interest camps that offer various activities without narrowing in on any particular one. Parents may need to choose between a sleepaway camp or day camps, depending on which camp experience they want for their children. " INQUIRE ABOUT CAMP SCHEDULES. While many camps are flexible, day camps do not have the same
If camp seems out of reach, look into local summer recreation programs at parks or schools. level of flexibility as afterschool programs. Arrangements will need to be made if care is required after regular camp hours. Speak with camp staff to see which types of after-hours programs, if any, are available. " DETERMINE YOUR CAMP
BUDGET. As varied as program offerings may be, camps also can vary greatly with regard to cost. Government-run camps may be less expensive than those offered by private companies. Day camps typically cost less than those that provide room and board. Find
out if a particular organization subsidizes a portion of camp costs. Scouting programs often have a dedicated camp and may offer affordable options for scouts. Martial arts schools and dance centers frequently offer camp schedules. If camp seems out of reach, look into local summer recreation programs at parks or schools. Such programs may not be as extensive as those offered by camps, but they can quell kids' boredom and keep
children occupied during the day. In addition to camp, remember to plan for some free days so children can just enjoy some downtime. Such days can break up the monotony of a routine and provide kids and families
time to relax together. Summer recreation may be far off, but it is never too early to start making summer plans, including finding camps and other activities for kids.

5 reasons why summer camp is a good choice for kids Summer vacation offers students a respite from lessons and the routine of school. Children might once have eagerly awaited those final days of classes so they could lounge poolside, skip rocks across ponds and spend the long days of the season playing with friends. But many of today's youngsters spend much of their summer vacations indoors playing with their digital devices. Perhaps that's why one of the last vestiges of the classic summer vacation escape â&#x20AC;&#x201C; summer camp â&#x20AC;&#x201C; remains such a viable option for parents who want their children to get outdoors once the school year ends.

Gain confidence. Day and sleepaway camps offer campers the opportunity to get comfortable in their own skin. Camps can foster activities in self-esteem by removing the academic measures of success and fill in with noncompetitive opportunities to succeed. Campers learn independence, decision-making skills and the ability to thrive outside of the shadow of their parents, siblings or other students.
Make new friends. Camp is a great place to meet new people and make lifelong friends. Campers flood in from areas near and far.This provides kids with a chance to expand their social circles beyond their immediate neighborhoods and schools.
Try new things. Camp gives children the chance to try new things, whether that's learning to cook, exploring new environments or embracing a new sport or leisure activity. Opening
Camps benefit children in a variety of ways. Lessons learned in camp can strengthen values, build confidence, develop coping mechanisms when adversity strikes, and enable campers to make lifelong friends.

oneself up to new opportunities can build character and prove enlightening for children.

Cariboo Hill remounts groundbreaking play
Remembering Matthew: The murder of a gay student at the University of Wyoming in 1998 inspired the groundbreaking play The Laramie Project and a followup a decade later. Cariboo Hill is staging both plays in a special twoplay cycle, onstage this week.
The murder of a gay student inWyoming inspired a two-play cycle about the death and its aftermath Nearly a decade after Cariboo Hill became the first high school in Burnaby to produce the groundbreaking play The Laramie Project, the school is remounting the production. Cariboo Hill Theatre Company is presenting The Laramie Project Cycle, a twopart night of theatre, at the Cariboo Hill Studio Theatre this week. The play was created in 2000, in the aftermath of the October 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard, a gay student at the University of Wyoming who left a bar in Laramie,Wyoming with two others and was found the next day at the edge of town, tied to a fence, brutally beaten and close to death. He died several days later from severe injuries. A company called the Tectonic Theater Project in NewYork created the play based on interviews conducted with inhabitants of
the town, company members’ own journal entries and published news reports about the event. Ten years later,Tectonic’s artistic director, Moisés Kaufman, brought many of the original writers and performers together to create what was intended to be a brief epilogue to the original piece. But when the artists returned to Laramie, they soon discovered they had another full play on their hands.The result is The Laramie Project:TenYears Later. Cariboo Hill is staging both parts on separate nights, and audiences can attend both nights for one ticket price of $15. Part 1 is on Wednesday, May 2 (tonight) and Friday, May 4. Part 2 is onstage Thursday, May 3 and Saturday, May 5. Showtime is 7 p.m. nightly. Cariboo Hill Studio The-

Final push gets SFU into playoffs Clan’s ace does triple duty in must-win weekend
A four-year drought was put to rest this weekend when the Simon Fraser University women’s softball team ran the table and clinched a berth to the Great Northwest Athletic Conference playoffs. It’s the first time since 2013 that the Clan’s program will enter the conference playoff mix, and it all came as a result of three straight road victories to wrap the regular season. The arm of ace hurler Alia Stachoski played a huge role in the run.The Port Coquitlam native won back-to-back-to-back games over 24 hours, including an eight-hitter in a 4-3 extra-innings affair over Concordia. The righthander scattered three hits in a follow-up 11-0 shellacking of the Cavaliers, after tossing a two-hitter in a 4-0 shutout of Western Oregon a day earlier on the Wolves’ own diamond. The grand total for Stachoski’s weekend were three wins and 13 hits allowed over 18 Run down: EDC Burnaby’s Issa Traore, left, battles a UVic Alumni rival for the ball during Saturday’s Provincial Masters A Cup quarter-final action at Burnaby Lake innings, with 11 strikeouts.

Burnaby duo help in DEL win The Bietigheim Steelers were crowned the Deutsch Ice Hockey League’s (DEL) Division 2 champions – and a pair of Burnaby products played a big part of it. For the fourth time in 11 years, the Steelers carried away the DEL 2 championship trophy, beating SC Reissersee 2-0 in the final, and 4-1 over the best-of-seven series. Burnaby’s Tyler McNeely, in his debut with Bietigheim and fifth season in the DEL 2, scored seven goals and 13 assists in the team’s 16-game playoff run. During the regular season, the 31-year-old McNeely tallied 22 goals and 43 assists and finished eighth
in league scoring. McNeely, a member of the 2005-06 Royal Bank champion Burnaby Express, made the shift to the pro league in Germany after two seasons in the minor pro system in North America. Another Burnaby product, Marcus Sommerfeld, contributed to the Steelers win by contributing six goals and 10 assists over 14 playoff games. A sixth-year veteran with the team, Sommerfeld counted 12 goals and 32 assists over 44 regular season contests. He’s played the past 14 seasons in Germany.

IN MEMORIAM
Bob was born in New Westminster at Royal Columbian Hospital on March 20, 1925 to proud parents William and Elsie Hinksman, a younger brother for his sister Dorothy. He grew up in Sapperton, attending Richard McBride Elementary School, Knox Presbyterian Church and continued his education at Trapp Tech. Bob began his working career at Shaw Bros. in New Westminster, apprenticing as a cabinet maker. Bob was a proud New Westminster resident all his life. Bob enlisted in the army in 1942, serving in Canada, United Kingdom and Continental Europe, landing in France on D-Day.
KUSHNIRUK, Robin March 18, 1983 - May 6, 2017 Our Dearest Robin, .
.
.
By order of the President of the Republic of France, Bob was awarded the rank of Knight of the French National Order of the Legion of Honour. This is the highest national order of France. It is awarded in recognition of Sir Robert Hinksman’s involvement in the liberation of France during WWII. Bob was an active member of the Legion Branch #2 in New Westminster for 45 years. As a young man Bob took up the sport of Lawn Bowling. Over the years, the accomplished bowler won provincial championships in Singles and a Canadian Gold Medal in Fours. He successfully participated in international bowling tournaments. The longtime member of the New Westminster Lawn Bowling Club received the distinction as an ‘Honorary Bowler’ having bowled for 50 years. Bob kept himself young in body and mind square dancing with Carole, hiking and walking everywhere. His competitive nature was also evident when he played chess, bridge and games of any kind. As a cabinet maker he continued his career in the construction industry becoming a Quality Control Manager at Artisan Industries prior to retiring in 1982. With his adventurous nature, Bob loved to travel. Carole & Bob thoroughly enjoyed their travels and cruises throughout the world. Funeral service was held on Saturday, April 28th at Valley View Funeral Home 14660 -72nd Avenue, Surrey. Luncheon immediately followed in the lounge at Valley View. Burial at 1:00 pm. at Valley View Cemetery. Valley View Funeral Home 604-596-8866

It is one year ago today you left us. We are heartbroken and not a day goes by without thinking about you. We miss you so much, but you left us with many wonderful memories that we cherish today and always will. At times we cry, we laugh and we grieve. We remember the tiny baby you began as, so quiet and peaceful; the cute, chatting little girl; the animal lover you became, always smiling; the self assured adolescent; the skate boarding teen through the difficult years; the beautiful, intelligent young woman you became. We love you forever. “You have the best room in the world tonight”. Lovingly, Mom Shelley Rowe and Grandma Fern Rowe

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.
