PIPELING PROTESTS

Chief makes pitch to KM shareholders Indigenous leaders set to speak at company’s AGM SPRING IS IN THE AIR:

Two-yearold Gemma Pickering dances with a fairy at the annual RhodoFest celebration, held Sunday, May 6 at Shadbolt Centre for the Arts and Deer Lake Park.

The annual festival, hosted by the City of Burnaby and the Burnaby Rhododendron and Gardens Society, included kids’ activities, entertainment, workshops and tours.

The forecast is calling for more sunshine and warm temperatures this weekend.

Anti-pipeline protesters will have their eyes set on Texas today as representatives of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs (UBCIC) fly to Houston in hopes of convincing Kinder Morgan shareholders that continuing with the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion is too risky.

Protests were also expected at Westridge Marine terminal in Burnaby Wednesday (today).

Chief Judy Wilson, of the Neskonlith Indian Band (Secwepemc Nation) and the UBCIC, will be presenting a report on behalf of the State of NewYork – a Kinder Morgan stockholder – at the company’s annual general meeting in Houston.

The report outlines social, environmental and financial risks associated with the project. It argues that continued resistance by We will continue Canadian and Infighting against digenous groups demonstrates opthe project … position from multiple jurisdictions, which has already led to significant construction delays.

“Kinder Morgan stockholders have not been properly advised that Indigenous rights are recognized in the Canadian Constitution and have won again and again through the courts. Kinder Morgan does not have the required consent of Indigenous Nations along the pipeline and tanker route, and it never will,”Wilson said in a statement. “There is nothing that the Canadian government can do to eliminate the risk and uncertainty inherent in this project.We will continue fighting against the project until it is abandoned.”

Meanwhile, a group was set to meet near Kinder Morgan’s Westridge marine terminal this morning. A Facebook event calls for protesters to join “land and water protectors as they take bold action at Kinder Morgan’s Burnaby facilities.”

Streethitwithanti-Semiticscrawl But mix-up meant City of Burnaby was slow to remove hateful graffiti message

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

North Burnaby residents are wondering why anti-Semitic graffiti was still up six days after being reported to police.

On April 28, Joanne Smith discovered someone had scrawled the word “Jews” with a diagonal slash through it on the pavement in the 5700 block of Highfield Drive, just north of Hastings Street and Holdom Avenue.

Smith, the neighbourhood’s Block Watch captain, said she called Burnaby RCMP that day, and two officers were dispatched to the scene.

They marked the site with police tape, Smith said, so city workers would be able to find it and remove it.

But the scrawl was still clearly visible six days later, according to Michael Coyle, a member of Smith’s Block Watch group.

“Being in front of someone’s house, it could be a targeted thing to the people

in that house,” he told the NOW after tweeting a photo of the scrawl on Friday morning. “I don’t record my neighbours’ religion because, why would I? But someone might be targeting them. I don’t know.”

Smith said she gave Burnaby RCMP another call on May 4 to find out why it hadn’t been removed, but she was directed to the city, which had been tasked with the removal.

“I phoned the city, and they said it was on their todo list,” Smith said.

By the end of the weekend, the writing was gone.

Coyle said seeing the racist graffiti on his own street gave him a “sinking feeling.”

“I was just reading about some (anti-Semitic) guy recruiting in Montreal, and then I saw this,” he said.

Coyle said he had questions for the RCMP about such graffiti.

“I’d be interested to know, how does the RCMP respond to this? How do they categorize it? Is it just graffiti or do they put it into

HATE: Anti-Semitic graffiti on Highfield Drive took the city a week to remove some sort of category for something more.”

Burnaby RCMP spokesperson Daniela Panesar said no suspects have been identified in the case, but incidents of graffiti motivated by hate against an identifiable group are reported to the B.C. Hate Crime Team – as this incident was.

Burnaby city policy dictates run-of-the-mill graffiti

should be removed either by the city or property owners within 14 days, according to anti-graffiti coordinator Todd Williams, but hateful or profane graffiti should be removed within 48 hours, he said.

“It’s generally removed within that day and it does take top priority over everything else,” he said.

Looking through the pa-

PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

per trail attached to the anti-Semitic North Burnaby scrawl,Williams said it appears it wasn’t listed as hate graffiti and therefore didn’t jump to the front of the queue.

Williams said he didn’t know how the case came to be miscategorised and he is disappointed the hateful message stayed on the street as long as it did.

City areas used as dumping grounds Burnaby residents warned about rise in illegal dumping in summer Lauren Boothby

lboothby@burnabynow.com

As the weather warms and people feel the urge to purge and tidy up, Metro Vancouver is asking residents to dispose of their garbage properly during spring cleaning.

Illegal dumping can be a significant issue in the region, Burnaby included.

Some of the most common items dumped are mattresses, furniture, appliances, carpeting, tiles, green waste and large amounts of household garbage.

Dumping slows down over the winter – apart from regular incidents at the end of every month when people are moving – and picks up again in March, says Mike Demeda, superintendent of solid waste and recycling for the City of Burnaby.

The city uses a lot of resources on illegal dumping, he says, sending out up

to four garbage trucks a day just to clean it up.

“I feel like they’re dumping in my backyard, that’s how I personally feel. It angers you, right?” he told the NOW. “You go to clean it up and, a day or two later, something else is there.”

Some of the hot-spots for dumping in Burnaby are at Barnet Highway and Cariboo Road, 18th Street and 11th Avenue,Venture Street and Lake City Way, and in cul-de-sacs at Manchester Drive, and off Cardston Court, and Horne Street.

The City of Burnaby is using cameras in some of these locations to catch dumpers.

In April, Burnaby’s waste department responded to at least 12 dumps that included drywall, ranging from three or four bags, and up to 30 bags in one dump.

Some of that drywall could be contaminated with asbestos.

Demeda is encouraging people to take their garbage to the landfill, and call the city as soon as illegal dumps are spotted to prevent others from adding to it.

If you have large items like couches, mattresses or appliances, call the city to arrange for pick-up, at 604294-7972. Drywall and other construction materials can be dropped off for a fee at the New West Gypsum Recycling at 38 Vulcan St. in New Westminster.

CITY IN BRIEF

Electric vehicles get boost The City of Burnaby is working on a bylaw to encourage more people to drive electric vehicles (EVs) by requiring all new parking spaces in multi-family developments to have electric outlets.

According to a staff report, the bylaw will call for parking spots to be made EV-ready by providing an energized outlet for Level 2 EV charging. Developers or builders will need to provide the outlets but won’t have to install all the electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) for the charging stations: that cost will be downloaded to vehicle owners.The policy applies to new multi-family developments and single- and two-family buildings but exempts visitor parking and secondary suites. It will not apply to renovations or for adding a new garage to an existing home.

Burnaby endsyear insurplus The City of Burnaby finished off last year with $257.4 million in surplus at the end of December 2017, and carrying an accumulated surplus of $4 billion, according to the city’s annual municipal report.

The city’s 2017 surplus is up $140.1 million from the 2017 annual budget surplus ($117.3 million), and $95.8 million of that comes from cash-in-lieu of community amenities paid by developers.

The rest of the extra surplus funds come from grants and private contributions ($15.5 million), contributed assets ($8.8 million), sales of land and other city assets ($7.1 million) and investment income ($4 million).

The operating surplus ($8.9 million) comes from an increase in building permits, utility, food services and engineering fee revenues, savings from the RCMP contract, staff vacancies, and transfer to reserves, among other factors.

Feds, taxpayer group to intervene in B.C. case Lauren Boothby

lboothby@burnabynow.com

The federal government and a taxpayers advocacy group are signing up to battle the provincial government in court over whether B.C. can stop an increase in heavy oil shipments moving through the province.

Justice Minister JodyWilson-Raybould announced Friday the federal government would be applying to intervene in the constitutional reference question B.C. filed last month. On Monday, the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) announced they would be doing the same.

The reference question

case asks whether B.C. can create a law that requires those who transport hazardous materials, like diluted bitumen through the Trans Mountain’s pipeline expansion, to obtain a permit and adhere to a series of environmental regulations.The federal government will argue that B.C. does not have this authority.

“We are confident in Parliament’s jurisdiction and will intervene on the question in order to defend our clear jurisdiction over interprovincial pipelines,” Wilson-Raybould said in a statement.

The CTF will intervene in the case because they support the pipeline and be-

lieve the federal government has the final say over whether it should be approved.

Knowing which level of government has jurisdiction is important information for the public to have, says spokesperson AaronWudrick.

“When there is confusion about what level of government is responsible for something, it makes it hard for people to hold the right people responsible because the line is blurred,” he told the NOW. “This pipeline is, on balance, a good thing, and attempting to stop it would have very negative economic consequences for the rest of the country, and, frank-

ly, could create some serious political tensions, the likes of which we haven’t seen for quite some time in this country.”

But support from the taxpayers group only goes so far.The pipeline expansion would be good for Canada, they will argue, but the federal government should not be using public money to support it.

“Most of the people who support the pipeline also support getting it built through any means, including public money … we’re unique in that we’re in favour of the pipeline as long as it’s built by Kinder Morgan with their own money,” he said. “We oppose

Our backyard: Kinder Morgan’s Burnaby tank farm. The company’s pipeline expansion is the subject of ongoing court cases, including a reference case by the provincial government. PHOTO NOW FILES

any public subsidy, which is consistent with our position on all forms of private business.”

Both the CTF and the federal government are expected to file for intervener status over the next month.

Pipeline capacity shortage costly: Fraser Institute A shortage of pipeline capacity will cost Canada’s energy sector $15.8 billion in lost revenues this year, according to a new study released Tuesday by the Fraser Institute.

“Without adequate pipelines to tidewater ports, Canadian oil producers are forced to sell their product in the U.S. at dramatically discounted prices, which results in substantial losses for the energy sector and the economy more broadly,” Kenneth Green, senior

director of natural resource studies at the Fraser Institute, said in a press release.

The study, the Cost of Pipeline Constraints in Canada, found pipeline construction has not kept pace as oil production in Canada has ramped up in recent years.

“And despite approvals from review agencies, the status of several major pipeline projects remains uncertain,” the press release reads.

The report found that even after adjusting for

quality differences and transportation costs,Western Canada Select, the heavy oil extracted from Canada’s oilsands, sells for much less than comparable oil from Texas.The price difference between Canadian and U.S. oil is currently $26.30 US per barrel, which, according to the think tank, will lead to a $15.8 billion loss for Canada’s energy sector.

“More pipeline capacity would not only benefit the energy sector and our econ-

FRESH CHOICES

The status of several major pipeline projects remains uncertain omy, it would also benefit the environment because pipelines are safer than rail,” Green said. “For Canadians to continue prospering from our natural resources, the

federal and provincial governments must work together to expedite the pipeline process and connect Canada’s oil producers with markets overseas.”

Here at home, Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project through Burnaby has faced a barrage of protests, and the provincial government’s opposition to the projects has sparked a dispute with Alberta.

Last month the company announced it was sus-

pending all non-essential activities and spending on the project.

And last month the B.C. government filed a reference question with the B.C. Court of Appeal to find out if the province has the jurisdiction to create a law requiring companies transporting hazardous materials, like diluted bitumen, to obtain a hazardous substance permit.

Tip: Lying to a judge won’t get you anywhere Driver carrying drugs who caused crash while fleeing the cops earns jail time and a driving prohibition Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A 23-year-old who ran a red light and smashed into two vehicles in a Burnaby intersection while trying to escape police has been sentenced to one year and nine months in jail and a year’s probation for drug possession for the purpose of trafficking and failing to stop while being pursued by police.

Deven Jainesh Mani was pulled over by police on March 26, 2017 at 1:14 p.m., according to B.C. provincial court documents.

After an officer got out of his vehicle and started approaching his car, however, Mani reversed and then sped forward around the officer and police car.

After a brief pursuit, police saw Mani blow through a red light at Canada Way and Smith Avenue, hitting two vehicles.

“When Mr. Mani’s ve-

hicle came to a stop, he did not render assistance to the occupants of the other vehicles; rather, he ran from the scene,” states a sentencing decision by provincial court judge Reginald Harris.

The occupants of the other vehicles suffered non-serious injuries, according to court documents, and police caught Mani as he ran through a nearby lot.

On the front passenger seat of his car, they found a large package of drugs, containing baggies of cocaine and fentanyl, as well as four cell phones, $200 cash and a baseball bat.

Fourteen months earlier, Mani had been caught with baggies of methamphetamine, heroin and cocaine after failing to stop at a Port Coquitlam stop sign.

He pleaded guilty in February to two counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking and one count of failing to stop while being pursued by a peace officer.

In handing down his sentence, Harris said Mani’s age, his guilty plea and the fact he has no criminal record were in his favour but there were also many aggravating factors in the case, including the large quantity of drugs found on him, the deadliness of some of the drugs, his flight from police, the fact he drove into a busy intersection without slowing or stopping, the fact that he was already facing charges and the fact his driver’s licence had been suspended at the time.

“I find the offences committed by Mr. Mani were serious. … I also find Mr. Mani’s degree of moral responsibility to be high,” Harris stated.

“Specifically, Mr. Mani’s criminal conduct was not fuelled by a drug addiction or desperation; rather, his conduct was motivated by greed.”

Mani didn’t endear himself to the judge at his sen-

? o d to ff tu s r fo g in k o o L s

tencing hearing either.

The court was told Mani volunteered with his stepfather’s soccer club, St. Columbus, at Newton Athletic Park in Surrey.

One letter of employment said he’d worked at an autobody shop, and another not only stated he was employed at a certain furniture business but suggested he was up for a promotion.

“I work extremely hard,” Mani had told the court, according to court documents. “They love me at my job. … I’m proud of myself for the big changes I’ve made today.”

After an adjournment of the sentencing hearing, however, Crown counsel reported it had contacted the employers, and the auto body shop had said it had

never heard of Mani and the furniture business had said he no longer worked there.

The Crown further reported it could find no information about the soccer club Mani purportedly volunteered for, and the individual at Surrey Parks and Rec responsible for booking fields had never heard of the club.

“I do appreciate that a guilty plea is typically an indication of remorse; however, in the circumstances any suggestion of remorse was erased when Mr. Mani falsely addressed the Court,” Harris said.

Besides his jail sentence and probation, Mani was sentenced to 80 hours of community work service after his release and handed an 11-month driving prohibition, a 10-year weapons ban and a lifetime firearms ban.

Rhetoric turns to threats in pipeline debate

If anything needs the “stay calm” meme to kick in right now it’s the rhetoric surrounding Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline project.

Several incidents over the past few weeks show just how heated tensions are getting.

Burnaby RCMP received a report last month about a man making verbal threats toward occupants of the “watch house” – the struc-

ture built by members of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation.

Police talked to the man who made the threats, and he has since issued an apology to the group, with no charges being filed.

Following that incident, occupants of the Camp Cloud tent city reported their structures were vandalized, with intimidating messages in black spraypaint popping up, telling the group to “go home,” “f***

off” and “protesters not welcome.”

More recently, a Global BC reporter alleged the station’s news crew was “threatened with violence” when it tried to film at Camp Cloud. (For the record, reporters from the Burnaby NOW have generally – but not always – had good interactions with people protesting the pipeline.)

The main thing to remember in considering the

alleged Global BC incident is to not paint all antipipeline protesters with the same brush.

There are several factions in the anti-pipeline movement. Camp Cloud residents are one group.The watch house occupants are another. And still more represent other organizations.

But it can only take one person making threats to sway public opinion.

People from all walks of

life are taking part in the movement. Most are peaceful people expressing their right to free speech. However, the peaceful protesters should be concerned that an angrier, so-called “anarchist,” element seems to be creeping in because a similar group of people helped to derail the “Occupy” movement.

The worry is that tensions will continue to escalate until things finally do break

out in violence, from one side or the other.With summer coming, don’t underestimate the impact of the weather on tensions as we head into sweltering conditions.

What we’re saying is enough with the threats.

Be passionate about your cause, but respect the opinions of others.We shouldn’t have to state something so obvious, but it’s clear some aren’t getting the message.

Fix is in on change in voting system

The NDP/Green party alliance that governs B.C. wants to change the system of how we elect governments in this province, but they don’t want the voters to pick an alternative to the one we use currently.

They want to allow unelected so-called “experts” of the NDP government’s own choosing to determine the actual model of proportional representation, should voters reject the current first-past-thepost model.The NDP and Greens are advocating that a sitting government be able to determine a new system of voting.

This startling and breathtaking proposal to eliminate one of the tenets of basic democracy – that voters decide the voting system – is contained in a little-noticed document dated Feb. 28 and entitled the “Joint Submission to the How We Vote Engagement Process” from the NDP and Green party caucuses.

This fall, there will be a referendum on whether to keep the current first-pastthe-post system or switch to a proportional representation model. So far, the NDP government has not said what the question will look like, but if the NDP caucuses’ view is anything to go by, look out.

The NDP and Green party recommend there be a single question on this fall’s referendum ballot, one that asks voters whether they want to stick to the FPTP system or if they wish to “support moving to a system of proportional representation.”

In addition, if there is a second question, the two

caucuses say it should be a question “on the values” that should be included in a new system “as opposed to a question on specific systems.”

Yet, the NDP and Green caucuses do not advocate letting voters choose a specific model. Rather, they favour farming the actual details of how we elect governments to a “transparent and independent advisory board.” Recommendations would be for some kind of “made-in-B.C. system of proportional representation.” Essentially, the NDPGreen alliance is proposing to allow unelected “experts” of the NDP government’s own choosing to help set the rules for how the NDP government can be re-elected, with the NDP cabinet having the final say.

One has to wonder whether the two caucuses have someone like Vladimir Putin on speed-dial.

The caucuses’ submission is rather breathtaking in its assault on democratic values. And it arrogantly suggests that hand-picked “experts” know much more than the average voter and can be trusted to do the proper thing (as long as it leads to more New Democrats and Green candidates being elected).

The NDP government is already being accused of stacking the deck to ensure the referendum defeats the current system.

And now it appears the government caucus – in collusion with the tiny Green caucus – wants to ensure the fix is in come the next election as well.

Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

Don’t fear rental housing Dear Editor: Re: Will new rules save Metrotown rentals? Burnaby Now, May 4.

I applaud the provincial government for taking some action to attempt to address the sorry state of housing in B.C. Will Burnaby council have the courage to address the issue now that another of its many excuses are being removed?

I have for too long heard that Burnaby is powerless because every issue is the responsibility of some other level of government.

More is needed than just zoning a few areas for rental units. The city needs to open up many more areas of the city to denser forms of housing.

We will need thousands of affordable apartments, townhouses and other forms of property ownership. We need new forms of zoning if the city is to remain survivable for the average person. Will city council be as willing to ignore the complaints of wealthy residents of large single-family homes when their area of the city is designated for densification as they were for low-income renters in Metrotown? On their current record, I have my doubts.

Burnaby grew up as a 1950s era single-family suburb that was affordable to the working family of that day. There are a lot more of us now and a new vision for housing is needed. The 1950s style is no longer appropriate and that means that a lot of people in Burnaby will have to accept that there will need to be a lot more apartments, townhouses and densified areas. So, will all members of Burnaby City Council – even

if the developers involved do not contribute to their re-election war chests?

Placing bins correctly saves city resources Dear Editor: Re: City’s garbage policies are a waste of taxpayer funds, Burnaby Now Letters, April 25.

Further to Mr. Ervin’s letter in which he expresses his concern about the city collections having bypassed his garbage because it was improperly placed, rather than the city worker moving his collection bin into the proper position. The city collects 35,000 bins each week. Because each improper bin placement is a unique circumstance, we know that having drivers correct each placement, rather than simply tagging the bin with information, would affect their ability to complete collection routes. It would also require the city to expend significantly more resources.

Because the role of citizens in placing their bins appropriately is critical to ensuring efficient collection, the city provides many materials that explain proper bin placement and waste separation. This information is delivered to Burnaby homes and available on our website.

Fortunately, the vast majority of bins are properly placed, allowing for efficient waste collection.

Local RCMP honoured for saving man’s life Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A man who tried to end his life on Burnaby Mountain last month is alive because a local Mountie pulled him out of a carbon monoxide-filled vehicle just before it burst into flames.

On April 7, at about 1:20 a.m., police got a call from someone saying their friend had told them on the phone he was trying to commit suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning in a car somewhere and was losing consciousness.

Police quickly narrowed down the distraught man’s location to the Burnaby Mountain area and dis-

patched the Air 1 urban patrol helicopter and Burnaby RCMP patrols to locate his car.

Local Cpl. Stacey Rogers was the first to come upon the Lexus IS300 behind Horizons Restaurant.

The car was filled with smoke but locked, according to police, so Rogers used her police baton to smash one of the windows.

She then dragged the unconscious man to safety and performed first aid while a small fire in the vehicle suddenly flared up and engulfed the whole car.

The man, meanwhile, regained consciousness and was taken to hospital by ambulance.

Firefighters, who had originally been called to the scene for a medical emergency, doused the blaze.

“Cpl. Rogers exhibited extreme courage at great risk to her personal safety from toxic fumes, possible explosion and fire to save the life of this man,” said staff Sgt. Ken Moe, Rogers’ supervisor. “Had she not acted in such a manner, the man would have died and not received the help he needed.”

Fake-job scams targeting desperate millennials Young people in Burnaby are being warned about fake employment scams that take money from unsuspecting job hunters. Employment scams once again made it to the BBB’s National Top 10 Scams of 2017.

The Better Business Bureau notes it works like this:The job seeker may be contacted with a job offer through reputable websites such as Indeed.ca and LinkedIn.This gives the offer an air of legitimacy.

Scammers also snare their victims through employment ads on websites like

Craigslist.

The job is a work-fromhome proposition where the pay scale is too good to be true. Some offer $2,000 a week to be a stay-at-home office administrator.

The “employer” will send several forms to fill out that are poorly written and lack key details about the job.

The “employer” sends the job seeker a cheque to deposit.They are instructed to withdraw a certain amount for themselves and send the rest back to the company in order to check their payment process system. Or

they may require them to send money via email transfer to another “employee.”

The cheque then bounces, and the job seeker is out of pocket and still unemployed.

The BBB warns that any job offer that requires an up-front payment or money transfer is likely a scam. Legit companies don’t operate this way.

Vague jobs descriptions and over-the-top pay scales should also raise red flags.

The old rule applies: If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

If you struggle to understand, you’re not alone, in fact 47% of Canadians over the age of 60 have hearing loss.* Your hearing difficulties could be caused by damaged hearing hair cells inside your inner ear (cochlea). When damage occurs in the high-frequency areas of the cochlea (where consonants are heard), speech may sound garbled and comprehension may become difficult. Our experts can determine if you have damaged hearing hair cells and explain to you the next step to better hearing. All it takes is a FREE hearing test - book yours today!

Moscrop abuzz with bee-friendly efforts Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

As other Lower Mainland residents agonize over the ongoing housing crisis, a group of Burnaby high school students is tackling the region’s livability on a much tinier scale.

Members of Moscrop Secondary School’s environmental and gardening clubs have worked to make their school more livable for bees and other pollinators and are encouraging other schools to do the same.

Last month, the school was designated the first Bee School in Greater Vancouver and only the second in the province by Bee City Canada, an organization dedicated to inspiring cities, towns, First Nations, schools, businesses and other organizations to take action to protect pollinators.

Moscrop environmental club co-chair Brennan Strandberg-Salmon said he

has been interested in pollinators ever since learning about their importance in Grade 6.

“A fact that really stuck with me is every one in three bites of food that you put into your mouth was made possible because of pollinators and because of bees,” he said.

To be designated a Bee School, Moscrop had to create a Bee School working group to put together a pollinator habitat action plan, develop a plan for pollinator education and awareness and arrange for their principal, Paul Fester, to sign a resolution declaring the school’s support for pollinators.

To make the school more livable for bees, students in the environmental and gardening clubs have planted bee friendly plants in the school garden and installed a bee-bath station and two mason bee condos.

But they’ve stopped short

of pushing for honey bee hives on campus.

“We’re not completely sure that people would be willing to have that, especially our principal and other staff members and parents, just because of concerns about having a bunch of bees around the school … We’re more focused on native pollinators; that’s why we have the mason bee condos,” Strandberg-Salmon said.

As far as the Bee School designation is concerned, though, Strandberg-Salmon said the clubs have gotten strong support from the school’s administration, biology teacher Katherine Lange, social studies teacher Nicola Gillam and chemistry teacher Mark Sidney, who is also a beekeeper.

The Moscrop students have also reached out to the City of Burnaby to pursue a Bee City designation but have yet to get traction with city officials, according to

BEE AWARE: From left, Moscrop Secondary gardening club co-chairs Rayyan Hams and Maria Preoteasa, and environmental club co-chairs Brennan Strandberg-Salmon and Kevin Lin, pose by the school’s bee-friendly garden. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR

Representatives from Moscrop’s Bee School working group will be on hand at the Stoney Creek Environ-

ment Committee’s Great Salmon Send-Off at Stoney Creek Elementary School (2740 Beaverbrook Cres.) on Saturday from 10 a.m.

to 2 p.m.

Technovation Challenge promotes girls in tech Lauren Boothby

lboothby@burnabynow.com

Simon Fraser University hosted a competition this weekend in hopes of encouraging more girls to consider careers in technology and engineering.

Twenty-four teams of girls ages 10 to 18 from across the province have been designing and building apps over the past 12 weeks for the global Technovation Challenge.

This weekend, they presented a business case for

their apps to a panel of judges, including SFU faculty and technology industry leaders like Microsoft and Safe Software.

SFU’s faculty of applied sciences leads the local chapter of this challenge with Technovation B.C. Daniela Abasi, outreach program manager for the faculty, says the school wants to change the culture that sees fewer girls working in these fields, and close the gender gap.

“Technovation is a great opportunity for girls to de-

velop skills in technology and entrepreneurship and apply these skills to address real-world problems,” she said in an email statement.

“This program offers girls with a unique experience to develop new skills and apply them in a manner that has a positive social impact.They begin to see problems as opportunities for them to build solutions and learn that they have the ability to make a change in the world.”

Two students from Burnaby and one from Coquitlam placed first in this

first round of judging for the 10- to 14 year-old category with their “ShowerDuck” app.

The program teaches children about water conservation by timing the length of their showers.

Users earn points by the amount of water they save, and can customize their own virtual duck.

Winners of this round are go on to compete in a global competition, with prizes of up to $15,000 for the best pitch.

Pitch Perfect: Technovation B.C. volunteers helped students prepare pitches before going before a panel of judges. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

Citynow SFU finding ways to be engine for community

Meet your elected

Board of Directors.

By Chris Campbell

ccampbell@burnabynow.com

Radical > ivory tower.

That was the basic message from Andrew Petter, president and vice-chancellor of Burnaby’s Simon Fraser University – which, he says, used to be known as the “radical campus” for its bold ideas.

Petter, addressing a Burnaby Board of Trade distinguished speakers event May 2, was discussing a somewhat radical idea for postsecondary institutions involving ditching what he termed “ivory tower” isolation in favour of a more community-engaged approach.

The SFU head outlined a number of ways post-secondary schools can be an engine for community development.

“We could be doing so much more for communities,” Petter said. “The concern is that society is becoming more fragmented… where do communities look for support?”

Historically, society has looked to such institutions as factories or other largescale industries – so-called “anchor institutions” – to help provide community infrastructure. More lately, societies look to government to achieve those goals, but many of those civic institutions are stretched to the limit financially, Petter said.

That’s why SFU is pro-

moting the idea of postsecondary institutions leveraging their “depth of community roots” to become an engine for community development. SFU began a strategic planning process in 2012 with this goal in mind, including commissioning a study to look at ways to connect the school with communities.

Petter listed off a number of ways that SFU supports its surrounding communities beyond educating its students. ! School programs that are helping to preserve Indigenous languages that area in danger of dying out. ! Community Scholars program that allows 500 people from 200 non-profits access to research resources at the school’s massive library. “Before our library was hidden behind a firewall,” Petter said. ! Partner students and businesses as part of coop job programs, including

finding sources of funding to help smaller businesses afford to hire a student.

“Many simply cannot afford to hire a co-op student,” Petter said. ! Tutoring 421 students in 15 public schools each year through the Friends of Simon program. ! Hosting Star Parties for 20,000 people each year at the Trottier Observatory. ! SFU is also one of the largest child-care providers in B.C. ! Co-presenting the Burnaby Festival of Learning.

“This gives you a sense of the capacity of post-secondary institutions to benefit the community,” Petter said.

SFU is now embarking on a three-year pilot project to develop even more ways of engaging with communities, he said.

“We all benefit when our communities are stronger,” he said.

Bill Chan

We’re pleased to announce that Teresa Conway, Jan O’Brien and Bill Chan have been elected, each for a three-year term.

Salons and massage therapists typically put together Mother’s Day packages that cater to mothers. Packages may include massages, facials, hair treatments, manicures, and pedicures. Gift-givers can customize the services depending on their budgets.

Dining out can be a treat: A meal at a favorite restaurant can be a welcome change from kitchen duty. Mother’s Day is a busy day for restaurants, many of which have limited menus to better handle the crowds. As a result, if dining out on Mother’s Day, Mom may not get the full menu she desires.

Serving Breakfast in Bed on Mother’s Day Few gestures of affection create a stir as much as presenting a loved one with breakfast in bed. On special occasions, treating a loved one to breakfast in bed can get their big day off on the right foot. The success of such an endeavor often boils down to following a few tips.

• The surprise of breakfast in bed is almost as important as the presentation. Make sure everyone keeps the secret and rises early enough to prepare the meal. Time the meal so that it is ready when the person of honor typically awakes.

• Invest in a food tray to make serving breakfast in bed that much easier. A bedside table or nightstand also can fit the bill.

• Add small details to make the breakfast even more special. Use heart- or flower-shaped cookie cutters to add whimsy to everything from pancakes to fruit. A hand-written card or poem is another nice touch. Breakfast in bed is a special treat for any family member.

Employing a few strategies for success can make it that much more special.

• Banging and clanking in the kitchen does not a relaxing morning make, so select an easily prepared dish to cut back on the noise. Store- or restaurant-bought foods can still make a nice impression if they are dressed up.

• Adult supervision is are cooking. This safely and smoothly chance to pitch in.

a must when young kids ensures everything goes while still giving kids the

• Delegate some tasks to kids. A young child may be able to arrange flowers in a vase, while a slightly older child may be more adept at slicing toast or helping to flip pancakes.

The breakfast should be a joint effort so that the person treated to breakfast knows everyone involved cared enough to pitch in.

• Choose easy-to-eat foods. Crumbly and messy foods are not the ideal fit for breakfast in bed. No one wants to spill food onto pillows or go to bed the next evening to find a pile of crumbs beneath the sheets. Finger foods or bite-sized items that can be popped into the mouth will not make much of a mess. Crepes may be a nice alternative to messier muffins.

Serve coffee or tea in a cup with a lid to help prevent spills.

City now School district earns kudos for critical incident team The Burnaby school district was recognized by the city’s top cop this month for the outstanding work of its critical incident response team during the 2016/17 school year.

The team, made up of school district staff and school-based counsellors who have received specialized training in responding to traumatic and critical events, supports schools

during incidents that have the potential to adversely affect students and staff. In 2016/17, the team responded to 24 critical incidents, including a high-profile homicide, suicides, sudden deaths and sexual assaults.

During the course of many of these incidents, the district team worked closely with RCMP.That work earned it a certificate of appreciation from Chief Supt.

Top honours: From left, Burnaby school district superintendent Gina NiccoliMoen, safe schools director Sue Dorey, Chief Supt. Deanne Burleigh and school trustee Baljinder Narang pose for a photo at the Burnaby RCMP detachments annual officer in charge award ceremony.

ASK A COIN & STAMP SPECIALIST

Q A

How is the higher U.S. dollar affecting the coin and stamp markets?

With the falling of the Canadian dollar and the increase in the U.S. exchange rate to 30%, our business has actual been JIM RICHARDSON helped a lot. First of all, we do not add exchange on to our World coins, stamps and paper money. With the increase this year in tourism due to our low dollar we have had a large amount of tourists in buying items that are lower priced than they can buy them in their own country. We are also finding that we are buying many items at strong prices because we are able to ship them out of the country to dealers I know for more than we can get here in Canada. The high exchange rate has also helped with gold prices in particular as sellers of gold coins and jewelry are getting high prices for their items.

ASK A PHARMACIST

Q A

It seems Spring is here... but how do I deal with my allergies?

In most people, an allergen something that triggers an allergy - sets their symptoms off. Spring attacks are usually due to tree pollen, while grass Elaine & Miguel pollens dominate in the summer and Your Pharmasave Pharmacists weed pollens in the autumn. Symptoms include runny nose; sneezing; itchy nose, mouth, throat, or eyes; and congestion. Tearing, coughing, sore throat, wheezing, and headache can also occur. The best way to prevent allergies is to avoid the allergen. Also, clean furniture that collects dust (e.g., carpets, draperies, upholstery), use air conditioning, put dust mite covers on mattresses, wash floors, install a HEPA filter, remove houseplants (a common source of mould), and stay indoors during high pollen times. It is not always possible to eliminate or avoid allergens, and many people need medications for relief. The most commonly used treatments for allergy symptoms are oral antihistamines, nose sprays, or eye drops. People with certain medical conditions (e.g., high blood pressure, diabetes, glaucoma, prostate problems) should consult their pharmacist before using allergy medications.

DIGNITY MEMORIAL

When a death occurs, most people know that they have to go to a funeral home where they believe that they can attend to all of the necessary arrangements.

However, this is not always the case.

Although funeral home and cemeteries are considered to be operating in the same industry, each has a specific role to play with that industry. Each has their own responsibilities and requirements. The family may well have to go to separate offices and finalize various arrangements and make various decisions.

Funeral Home staff are available on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week; consultations are done with licensed funeral directors; they obtain vital statistics information for death registration provincial Death Certificates; assist families and supervise visitation, funeral and reception services; coordinate with crematoriums and cemeteries; assist with removal of deceased, provide preparation, dressing, sanitary care, embalming and casketing services.

Cemetery staff assists families with property selection, merchandise selection such as vaults, urns, memorials; cemetery services such as interments or inurnments, and also paperwork authorization.

One of the most difficult aspects of having to make these arrangements is that all the above decisions require to be made in a comparatively short amount of time. There are two questions that will never be answered: “What would they have wanted?” and “Did I do the right thing?”

During prearrangement, family members can share their preferences and wishes on funeral and cemetery options and decide together, rather than leaving their loved ones to make these decisions at the beginning of their bereavement and grief. Prearrangement allows costs to be frozen at today’s prices and also provides various payment options to meet the family’s budget, rather than a full payment at the time of loss.

When a death occurs in any family or among friends, the grief can be tremendous and the healing time very long. Prearrangement will have a positive impact on family and friends simply because you have already made your own decisions. This peace of mind provides benefits far beyond the dollars spent.

The most memorable memorials are the ones we plan ourselves. Leave your Legacy.

Q A

Pre-approvals performed prior to January 1, 2018, now expired?

As of May 1, 2018, pre-approvals performed prior to January 1, 2018, have expired. This means all borrowers need to pass a stress test at an interest rate 2% higher than the qualifying rate.

HOWARD LOUIE Manager, Mortgage Broker The impact of the mortgage stress test will become more apparent moving forward, particularly if borrowing rates continue to rise. As of today, a homebuyer hoping to purchase the typical home in Greater Vancouver (as per the MLS benchmark price of $1.084M) would require a minimum down payment of $216,800 and a verified income of approximately $160,000, assuming a 5-year mortgage qualification rate of 5.14%.

Burnaby resident Becky Brauer, co-founder and head of culinary at Fresh Prep, is up for a Women of Distinction Award.

Here are her answers to our 5 Questions:

1

HOW DID YOU, DHRUV SOOD AND HUSEIN RAHEMTULLA COME UP WITH THE CONCEPT FOR FRESH PREP? I can’t take credit. The idea of starting a meal kit with pre-prepped ingredients was Husein and Dhruv’s. When I came aboard in March 2015, we jumped right in to creating and selling our meal kits.

Of course, our product evolved over time into what it is today. There was a lot of trial and error – we had to settle on different menu rotations, balance of meat versus vegetarian dishes and gluten/dairy-free options.

We also had to figure out where our food was going to come from. We wanted to create a meal kit with the best ingredients that we ourselves wanted to have delivered to our homes.

Finding balance between cost, quality, taste and health was at the forefront of every decision. Most of my friends, family and community use Fresh Prep, so I feel responsible to bring our very best work to their tables and the tables of our clients.

2

HOW HAS THE COMPANY GROWN SINCE YOU STARTED? We’ve grown from a small juice shop in Kitsilano, where we were prepping meal kits out of the back, to a large commercial facility. We started with just the three of us, and now we have over 100 employees. Our original

3

IN WHAT WAYS HAS YOUR ROLE CHANGED DURING THAT TIME? I’m responsible for overseeing/creating the menu and the purchasing and sourcing of ingredients.

As we’ve grown, the job has evolved quite a bit. When we started, I made one new menu item a week out of my kitchen at home, and now I’m responsible for bringing a menu of eight dishes every week to thousands of people across the Lower Mainland.

4

WHAT WAS YOUR RESPONSE WHEN YOU FOUND OUT ABOUT YOUR WOMEN OF DISTINCTION

Fresh ideas: Burnaby resident Becky Brauer, co-founder and head of culinary at Fresh Prep, is up for a Women of Distinction Award. PHOTO CONTRIBUTED

AWARD NOMINATION IN THE CATEGORY OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND INNOVATION? I was very honoured, especially when I got to see the list of nominees and how much they’ve accomplished.

To be named among these amazing women makes me very proud and humbled. I can highly recommend that everyone go check out all

of the other nominees at ywcavan.org.

5

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO OTHER WOMEN WHO ARE CONSIDERING STRIKING OUT ON THEIR OWN? Stop saying “someday” and just figure it out and do it today. There really is no time like to present. It’s scary to leave a comfortable

job or a steady paycheque. I couldn’t see myself 20 years down the road grinding away at a job that I didn’t enjoy, so I made a change for myself to improve my well-being.

I’ve never regretted my decision for a second. This is a really challenging career, but I find myself more motivated, fulfilled and I have more energy for every aspect of my life.

Communitynow Ready to start planting? Some tips for shopping smart Mark Cullen

Gardening with Mark

It’s May – finally time to get planting.

But before you plant, you shop.With garden retailers preparing for the predictable spring surge in business, shoppers need to prepare themselves for the best shopping experience ever.

Here are our tips for getting the very best plant value while shopping this spring.

PERFECT IS IMPERFECT All of us do it: we automatically reach for the perfect flowering plant. A hydrangea in full bloom, a pot of pansies brimming with colour. Fact is, a plant brimming with colour is soon in decline.This is true of plants that bloom at their very best

once a year, like a hydrangea, but not so much a season-long performer like a geranium. Choose plants that are in flower bud, not flower, and enjoy a longer bloom cycle.

AVOID ROOT-BOUND PLANTS Often plants have been grown past their peak.The easiest way to determine the quality of the plant you are buying is to pull it gently from the pot. Retailers won’t mind that you do this, if you are careful not to spill soil everywhere.The pot should be 50 to 70 per cent roots, the balance a quality potting mix. If the roots twirl around the inside of the pot, they are likely to sit in your garden in shock. Pull tightly wound roots apart before you plant or avoid root-

AUTUMN STOCK IS A GOOD BET Some retailers store their leftover stock from last fall and bring it out for sale early in the spring.This stock may perform very well in your garden as the plants are generally more established and “hardened off,” therefore more tolerant of frost than new stock fresh from the greenhouse.

DIVIDE AND SAVE Some of the best plant deals this time of year are not at retailers but at local horticultural society or master gardener meetings, even some garage sales.The divisions from someone else’s hosta or daylily can take root and perform very well in your garden this season and save you a lot of money.

For that matter, if you have perennials of your own in your garden that are several years old, chances are many of them can be dug up, divided with a sharp spade or knife and planted around your garden.

Burnaby seniors ride new bus to freedom

“Now that we do it all inhouse, we’re seeing people that didn’t normally go out on trips, who were kind of more secluded in their rooms.”

Ashford.

So far, the feedback has been positive, both from residents and their loved

ones, he said.The bus can seat 14 to 16 passengers, depending on how many wheelchairs and walkers are aboard, and the trips are usually full.

“We were barely seeing six to eight people on our outings when we took HandyDART, now we’ve doubled that,” he said.

Getting the bus took some doing, he added, saying he had been with the

village for three and a half years, and they had been working towards this goal during that time.

“I really have to thank the Swedish community,” he said, regarding donations that made the bus possible.

Everyone came together on the project, he added, saying administration worked on the policies.

Residents of the Swedish Canadian Assisted Living Residence have been given the gift of freedom with a new passenger bus.

The bus, which was purchased at the beginning of the year, took its maiden voyage to Coquitlam Centre with 10 residents, two wheelchairs and two staff members on April 6, according to a press release from the residence.

“The freedom of being able to leave and go out into the community, doing different activities, even if it is just going to a shopping centre and just getting out, that makes a big difference,” Tyson Ashford, general manager of Swedish Canadian Village, told the Burnaby NOW. Prior to the purchase of the bus, residents would take the HandyDART for outings, he explained, and they often had to divide into two groups because there weren’t enough seats.

Over-35 keeper backstops EDC’s A Cup berth

Debuting in the Over-35 premier circuit, EDC Burnaby has won a cup and now plays for provincial title

By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

EDC Burnaby Over-35 premier men’s soccer team will have one more game as underdogs.

By knocking off two-time defending provincial champion Coquitlam Metro-Ford in Saturday’s semifinal, the Burnaby squad now plays for the Deryl Hughes Masters A Cup title – the provincial bragging rights for the local game’s greybeards.

“Nobody gave us much credit to start the year,” remarked coach Rodrigo Alvarado.

“This is our first year (in the Over-35 premier division), so we didn’t know exactly what to expect.

“Getting to the finals is incredible.”

The semifinal lived up to that, a 1-0 penalty-kick decision that saw Burnaby weather an impressive storm. Coquitlam, which features former Whitecaps Alfredo Valente, Oliver Heald and 2018 Golden Boot champion Tiarnan King, layered on the offence but could not put one past EDC’s Hugo Vasquez. Into penalty kicks,Vasquez stopped Metro-Ford’s second shot, and that was the only non-goal of the series.

The Burnaby side also had to play a good portion of the second half a man down following a red card to one of their backs.

They emerged battle-scarred yet victorious, and with a berth to this weekend’s Masters A Cup provincial final. “(Vasquez) came up huge for us,” said Alvarado. “The guys this game all came together.There was no arguing. Everyone knew what was on the line and they worked together.”

In their first year at the Masters A level, EDC now can frame the whole season with a win Saturday (5 p.m.) at Burnaby Lake.

They’ll line up against fellow Vancouver Metro team Westside FC, who toppled Temple United 3-1 in their semifinal.

In their Over-35 premier league encounters, EDC fell to Westside by 2-1 and 5-0 scores. But in their most recent meeting (March 16) in the O35 Cup semifinal, Burnaby eked out a 1-0 decision en route to a league playoff title last month.

“Westside has won a lot of these (provincial finals), but maybe the one thing in our advantage is we are a little younger.They’ve got a lot of veterans, and we have to go at them,” said Alvarado.

Lakers show moxie in opening defeats Burnaby’s attack keeps rivals on their toes

By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

For a start, there is a deceiving element to 0-2 when it comes to the Burnaby junior A Lakers.

With their first two B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League games under their belts, the Lakers could feel the mix of disappointment and ‘here-we-goagain’ deja vu of past seasons.

But both games – 10-7 to New Westminster on Monday, and 1310 to Victoria on Sunday – demonstrated how many strides they’ve made over many months.

“Definitely, 0-2 was not what we envisioned, but we’ve seen a positive contribution from our young players and they’re fitting into their roles quite well,” remarked head coach Jason Dallevalle.

Whether it was due to discipline or officials working out the earlyseason rust, both teams saw a flurry of traffic to the penalty box, and that proved costly to the Lakers.

Against New West, Burnaby matched them goal-for-goal in the first period. And while the ’Bellies shuttled ahead 6-3 by the midway point of the second frame, the Lakers turned up the push-back to knot the game 6-6 by the fourth minute of the final period.

Although New West, considered to be a contender for the league crown this season, gained control with three straight powerplay goals in the third, the take-away for Burnaby is the gap is narrowing.

“I think our strength, as we talked about before, is in transition and it’s looking to be showing already,” said Dallevalle. “I was impressed with our tenacity on defence and gaining loose balls.”

He noted that with seven players

Pla Y

still away at college, the roster was young and relatively inexperienced.

Most of those players bring offensive skills to the table. Four are expected back this week.

Kieran McKay, acquired in the off-season in a swap with Langley, scored twice and set up another, while single tallies were registered

by Jacob Dowell, Mason Pomeroy, Damon Prince, Kurtis Shum and Milos Sukunda.

“We knew what we were getting with Kieran but he’s gone beyond our expectations,” said Dallevalle.

“He’s also showing some leadership as a veteran, which, for a new player on the team, is great to see.”

Five of the team’s goals were on the powerplay, while New West counted six extra-man markers.

Netminder Elijah Uema-Martin turned aside 23 shots, while across the way New West’s Erik Kratz was called to make 31 stops.

A day earlier, McKay recorded a hat trick in a contest the Lakers briefly led 4-3.Victoria outscored Burnaby 7-1 in the middle frame to gain the upper hand, leading by six before the home team made it a three-goal game.

Also chipping in goals were Shum, with a pair, and singles by Mark Burns, Josh Dumont, Aiden Guld, Pomeroy and Prince.

A big step will be finding a way to limit the shorthand situations, said Dallevalle.

“I thought we matched up well, even out played (New West), at fiveon-five,” he said. “If we can see growth from these games, I’ll be happy.”

The Lakers visit Delta for a game Saturday. On Sunday, Burnaby plays host to Nanaimo, 4 p.m. at the Copeland Sports Centre.

Bruins tagged in WHL draft

By Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

A number of Burnaby Winter Club Academy hockey players found themselves on Cloud 9 on Thursday as the Western Hockey League held its annual bantam draft.

Nine members of the BWC bantam elite prep program were selected from a team that finished the past season mid-pack in the Canadian Sport School Hockey League.

“Really, at the beginning of the year we thought maybe six to eight players may have a chance, so it was great to see nine guys get drafted,” remarked BWC bantam prep coach Leland Mack. “The way the draft works is like a garden.You plant the seed and hope they’ll grow and develop.”

He noted that more than 25 per cent of the players who make the WHL were

never chosen in the bantam draft, so being selected is just one entry point. Hard work and talent are the primary source.

Defenceman Elias Carmichael was the first Winter Club player selected, going 40th overall (second round) to Kelowna.The six-footone blueliner from Langley produced two goals and 17 assists over 30 games.

Centre Caeden Bankier, a five-foot-10 native of Surrey, went 49th overall to Kamloops. He counted 16 goals and 12 helpers in 30 games.

With the 51st pick, Seattle grabbed netminder Thomas Milic of Coquitlam. Milic posted a 2.06 goals against average over 22 games.

Also selected in the third round was winger Finlay Williams, at 54th overall,

by Swift Current.The fivefoot-10 forward from North Vancouver led the BWC Bruins in scoring with 10

goals and 22 assists over 29 games.

Burnaby native Nicco Camazzola was drafted with the 78th pick overall by the Vancouver Giants.The sixfoot-one defenceman tallied twice and set up eight others during the season.

Matthew Seminoff was chosen 93rd overall by Kamloops, after registering 12 goals and 13 assists for the Bruins.

In the sixth round, netminder Mason Dunsford of New Westminster was chosen by Tri-Cities.The sixfoot tall goalie recorded a 3.63 goals against average over nine games.

Adam Grenier was selected by Regina in the ninth round, after chalking up eight goals and 17 assists during the CSSHL season.

Joining him on the Pats’ draft list was defenceman Marcus Taylor, who was chosen as the 192nd pick overall.

OBITUARIES

FLEMING, Elsie Jean (nee Campbell) February 8, 1928 - April 26, 2018 On a beautiful Spring day, Elsie peacefully left us to be reunited with husband, John (1990), and son John (2017). She leaves behind loving daughters Cathy (Danny) and Brenda (Edward) and beloved grandchildren Kaylee (Adam) and Seth. She also leaves behind special nieces Sharon and Susan and nephew John and their families in the Lower Mainland, as well as family in Kamloops and Scotland.

Elsie was born in Kamloops and moved to Burnaby around age 12. After attending Burnaby South High School, she became a Registered Nurse (RCH Class of 49B). She married the love of her life, John, and became a stay-at-home Mom to her three children, and then cared for other children as they entered the family. She was the last member of the Young People’s Group of East Burnaby United Church whose deep bond of faith and friendship lasted a lifetime. Elsie was gifted in many of the textile arts but lately mostly enjoyed the creativity involved in quilting. She used her skills to make the world a better place by sewing clothing and quilts for “her children” in countries where help was needed. “Look after the children” were some of her last words. She was an example of kindness and caring to everyone who called her Mom, Grandma, Auntie, or friend. The family wishes to acknowledge the help received in the recent months from home caregivers, the Royal Columbian Hospital, and Queen’s Park Care Centre. In respecting Mom’s wishes, there will be no formal service. If you wish to donate to the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation in her memory, Mom would be very pleased.

You were well loved and will be sorely missed.

Until we meet again, Mizpah.

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.
