Sevenbikecop positionslost inBurnaby By Cornelia Naylor

Local parks will gain four civilian bylaw officers on bikes this summer, but they’ll lose seven RCMP bike cops because of a shortage of police resources, according to Burnaby’s top cop. Chief Supt. Deanne Burleigh, the officer in charge of the Burnaby RCMP detachment, told the city’s public safety committee last Tuesday the detachment was pulling the plug on the bike squad this year. “The bike squad is a really effective policing enforcement tool. Unfortunately, this summer the decision was made not to stand up the bike squad,” she said, “so there will be no RCMP bike squad, and that’s due to resourcing pressures in the need to respond to calls for service on the front line.” The bike squad had been made up of general duty officers, Burleigh explained. After looking at the detachment’s calls-for-service stats, she said she had to make the “difficult decision” not to commit general duty resources to the squad. “We have to have the resources for frontline policing priority call response,” she told the NOW, “and I want to be able to have the resources on the ground to be able to respond to 911.That’s the number 1 priority.”

Report urges action on sex assaults Post-secondary student groups says educational institutions need to do more to protect students

Lauren Boothby

lboothby@burnabynow.com

British Columbia’s educational institutions need to do more to address sexual and gender violence on campus, according to a joint report produced by postsecondary student organizations across the country. The publication, Shared Perspectives: A Joint Publication on Campus Sexual Violence Prevention and Response, looks at issues of sexual violence on campuses across the country and re-iterates a need for campuses and governments to do more to prevent it.That report found that the implementation of mandated sexualized violence policies vary significantly between institutions across the province. B.C.’s Sexual Violence and Misconduct Policy Act came into effect about a year ago, which requires post-secondary institutions to have policies that address sexual violence on campus. Burnaby’s Simon Fraser University opened the Sexual Violence Support and Prevention Office in February, meant to give support and education to students who experience sexual violence and misconduct. Last year, the university created a new sexual violence and misconduct prevention policy, and has instituted training about how to be an “active bystander” for all elected student council members and leaders.That training asks people to intervene when they see an incident of violence. Martin Wyant, CEO of the Simon Fraser Student Society, said he’s seen more of an interest in developing

Changes to the Residential Tenancy Act aim to compensate renters who face eviction because of renovation or demolitions.These measures include more time to find alternate housing (now four months), and more time to dispute notice of end of tenancy (now 30 days). Compensation has been increased for tenants if a landlord ends tenancy and doesn’t follow through with plans, or who uses the ‘vacate’ clause to evict a tenant because they intended to use the unit, but then rerents to someone else (now 12 months’ rent).

So far,Wyant thinks the university is on the right path with their new policies. “I think they made a significant commitment as an institution, and I think we have to wait and see. I’m really happy to see what they’ve been doing,” he told the NOW.

fers counselling services, and consent workshops. And while the association was not aware of the report and could not comment on it specifically, he says they do everything they can to provide a safe campus for students. “I think it is something that as a community, all of us have a responsibility to take on both awareness and to provide resources and to provide an environment and safe community for people,” he said. “There needs to be more awareness across the board.

We’re in a position that, as a post-secondary, we have a large community that we can communicate with and I think that BCIT is definitely taking steps in the right direction.” In the report, the Alliance of B.C. Students recommends the provincial government fund a plan to develop a clear plan and set of procedures, focusing on prevention and education, and integrate it into the existing Bill 23 to better equip institutions with tools to prevent and address violence.

B.C. suing Alberta over oil restrictions Lauren Boothby

IN BRIEF

al David Eby said the law is unconstitutional because it creates economic discrimination through trade sanctions, and because he says provinces cannot restrict trading of refined fuels. The Alberta law is meant to punish British Columbia and put pressure on the government to withdraw the reference case that asks permission to stop bitumen transport without operators filing permits and environmental plans, according to the filing.

That law, too, could have a significant impact on Burnaby’s Parkland Refinery. “[T]he Parkland refinery, located in Burnaby, produces some of the gasoline and diesel consumed in British Columbia.The majority of the Parkland’s refinery crude oil feedstock is imported from Alberta,” reads the filing. “A significant disruption in the supply of gasoline, diesel and crude oil from Alberta to British Columbia would cause Brit-

ish Columbia irreparable harm.” Eby told reporters Tuesday that a stop of fuel could harm First Nations in the province that rely on dieselpowered generators for electricity, and for communities only accessible by boat. “Any time the electricity supply is disrupted, and these remote communities that rely on diesel power generators, that has a significant impact on those communities,” he said. Eby sent a letter to Alber-

ta Premier Rachel Notley last week prior to a vote on the bill, asking her to submit disagreements with B.C.’s current cases in court, rather than “responding with threats of economic harm.” Eby noted the Supreme Court of Canada case R. v. Comeau (2018), which he says states that provinces can restrict trade in order to protect health and safety of residents, but not for the primary purpose of punishing another province.

Traffic delays are expected in North Burnaby today (May 23) as a result of FortisBC’s natural gas line upgrades will likely continue to the end of June. The company planned to close lanes on Gilmore Avenue and Douglas Road for the work.Traffic was expected to be reduced to single-lane alternating on Gilmore between 1st Avenue and Graveley Street; and on Douglas just south of Carleton Avenue. Construction hours will be Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on. There may also be some overnight and Sunday work required, according to the company. The project will upgrade 20 kilometres of natural gas line in Burnaby, Coquitlam and Vancouver. Residents with concerns can attend an information session on the project at the Willingdon Community Centre on July 17 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Residents can also contact the project phone line 24/7 at 604-592-7474 or email gaslineupgrades@for tisbc.com.The company is providing the public with an interactive project map and weekly project updates at talkingenergy.ca. — Cornelia Naylor

Civilianpatrolreplacescops Continued from page 1 Committee member David Pereira, a space management planner at BCIT, recalled sitting in on a presentation from the RCMP a couple years ago lauding the benefits of the bike squad. “It seemed like a really great thing, and I think council was very supportive of it,” he told the NOW. Chief Supt. Stephan Drolet, Burnaby’s former officer in charge, launched a six-month bike squad pilot in May 2016. “I have received much positive feedback on their activities, their approachableness as well as their ability to get in to places such as the many parks and greenspaces in our city,” he said in a report to the committee in 2016. Burnaby RCMP ramped up patrols, including bike patrols, in Central Park after the murder of 13-year-old Marrisa Shen last July. After that event, the city announced it would beef up security measures in the park, including adding bike patrols.

The city has since hired two women and two men to ride around the city’s parks and other public spaces, enforcing bylaws and reporting crime and suspicious activity to police. City officials have said the measures had been in the

They certainly don’t have the presence or the ability of a police officer on a bike.

works since before Shen’s death but that the tragedy had accelerated the iniatives. The civilian bike patrol began its one-year $334,000 pilot this weekend and will work staggered shifts seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday through Sunday and 1 to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday. The unit will be equipped

with cellphones and empowered to enforce bylaw offences ranging from animal control to smoking in parks during a fire ban. Pereira, however, doesn’t think the four bylaw officers are an adequate substitute for seven RCMP officers. “Bylaw enforcement, that’s just regular citizens going through and enforcing bylaws,” he said. “They certainly don’t have the presence or the ability of a police officer on a bike.” Burleigh seconded the distinction between the two units. “They’re enforcing bylaws, not Criminal Code or Motor Vehicle Act or other statutes,” she said. When asked what it would take for the detachment to reinstate the bike squad, Burleigh’s response was straight to the point. “Additional resources,” she said. Burnaby’s public safety director, Dave Critchley, a former officer in charge of the Burnaby RCMP detachment, said he and council would like to see the

RCMP bike squad continue, but it is ultimately up to the OIC to deploy the detachment’s resources. Critchley said comparing the civilian bike patrol and RCMP bike squad was “mixing apples and oranges.” “In my role, what I can talk to is the bike program as it relates to bylaws, and I can say that that program is being initiated in a pilot to determine and increase, enhance our safety in public spaces.” When asked whether local parks would be safer on balance with bylaw officers on bikes or RCMP members, Critchley said: “I can’t speak to whether it’s equitable, better, worse. That would be inappropriate for me to comment on.” As to whether the RCMP is adequately resourced, the public safety director said that was part of ongoing discussions between the city and the detachment. “The RCMP is one department like the rest of our departments within the city, and that’s part of the annual budgeting process,” he said.

New bylaw requires radios in highrises

City council has heeded calls from the Burnaby’s fire and police departments to create a bylaw that ensures emergency radios work properly in new highrises. The new bylaw requires most new buildings taller than 12 metres with construction permits over $1 million, and that use building materials that obstruct or dampen the strength of radio signals – including reinforced concrete or structural steel; metal cladding, studs and flooring; and reflective or low-emissivity glass – to install signal boosters throughout the building. The fire and police departments presented a request earlier this year for a bylaw that would require amplification of radio signals because emergency responders have difficulty communicating between those on the ground and on upper floors of new buildings when attending a fire or police incident, says Burnaby fire chief Joe Robertson. And the new bylaw turned out just the way he

wanted. “Similar bylaws exist in other municipalities, and we just wanted to have something that was roughly the same that would protect our people, and also help us serve help serve the public better,” he told the NOW. “It protects the safety of the residents, and for the firefighters and paramedics and police that are attending events that are in these buildings.” Existing buildings, and those under construction, won’t be subject to the law, but Robertson hopes developers will opt to install the amplifiers voluntarily. “It would be nice if developers that have projects on the go now, or have them already approved or have them started, it would be nice if they would also consider putting these systems in their buildings,” he said. “If we can communicate if we’re up in the middle floors of a 30-story building … I think it’s a selling feature for a building.” – Lauren Boothby

Man loses appeal of jail sentence Kiir Chol was 16 years old when he shot and killed an unarmed man Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A man who was 16 years old when he shot an unarmed man to death in Burnaby with a stolen 9 mm Beretta semi-automatic pistol has lost an appeal of his 10-year jail sentence. Kiir Chol was two months short of his 17th birthday on Sept. 24, 2014, when he shot and killed Aladdin Ramadan outside Ramadan’s Rosser Street condo near Brentwood Town Centre at about 10:30 p.m., according to court documents. He and his co-accused, Samir Mokhtar and a youth who can only be identified as K.D., had been driving together. Mokhtar knew Ramadan and told Chol and K.D. that Ramadan had a “beef” with him. As they were driving, Ramadan then suddenly and unexpectedly pulled his vehicle alongside and shouted to Mokhtar to pull over, which he did, according to court documents. “With everyone then out of both vehicles, Mr. Ramadan, an exceptionally muscular young man, approached Mr. Mokhtar in an aggressive fashion, ‘speed-walking’ toward him with his fists raised,” states a sentencing ruling dated Aug. 10, 2017. “Mr. Chol intervened and shot Mr. (Ramadan) at least three times in

fairly rapid succession with a 9 mm Beretta semi-automatic pistol.” Ramadan died almost instantly. Chol fled with Mokhtar, while K.D. stayed at the scene, as did Ramadan’s passenger, Nicholas Andreatta. Mokhtar was caught at the Canada-United States border in December 2014 and charged in the killing but was then shot to death himself inVancouver in July 2015. Chol, meanwhile, was arrested at a Surrey shopping mall eight days after Ramadan’s killing. He had the gun used in the shooting tucked into his pants and loaded with nine cartridges, one in the chamber, and the safety catch off, according to court documents. He pleaded guilty on

April 5, 2017 to possessing a loaded restricted firearm, and a jury convicted him of manslaughter. The Crown called for an adult sentence, while Chol’s lawyer called for a youth sentence. In the end, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Heather Holmes imposed adult sentences – a seven-year jail term for the killing and three years for the weapons charge – to be served consecutively for a total of 10 years. Chol’s legal counsel appealed, arguing Holmes erred in her analysis and should have ordered the two sentences to be served concurrently. But that appeal was dismissed by the B.C. Court of Appeal on May 10. Justice Sunni StrombergStein in her reasons con-

cluded Holmes may have considered some irrelevant factors evaluating Chol’s moral blameworthiness but that any errors had no impact on the sentence.

Remind grads there’s no such thing as ‘good’ drugs

The B.C. government recently sent out a news release asking people to not buy alcohol for minors celebrating during grad party season. The release was almost quaint in its reminder of a time when the big concern for youth was people buying booze for kids standing outside of the liquor store. If only that was still the biggest worry about teenagers. Instead, we’re in a time when people really need to be warned to have hard, de-

tailed conversations with teens about the drugs they will be offered during this hard-partying season. Why? Because what teens think is in the drugs they are being offered isn’t actually in them. According to the Globe and Mail, the B.C. Centre of Substance Use tried out an infrared spectrometer so people could check out what’s in their drugs. Of the “1,714 substances tested, 39 per cent contained the drug the client expect-

Show them the numbers. Tell them the people dying come from all walks of life. ed … 88 per cent contained fentanyl.” Fentanyl is one of the substances to blame for the skyrocketing body count due to drug overdoses. A total of 161 people – the equivalent of more than five a day – died of suspect-

ed overdoses on drugs like heroin, cocaine, MDMA, methamphetamine and illicit fentanyl in B.C. in March, according to the B.C. Coroners Service. That’s an increase of 24 per cent from last March’s 130 deaths and a 58-per-

cent spike over February’s suspected total of 102. Looking at the first three months of 2018, the coroners service says fentanyl was detected in post-mortem testing in more than eight in every 10 deaths (83 per cent). Seven in every 10 people who died were aged 19 to 49 years, but suspected illicit drug overdoses have also already claimed the lives of five people between the ages of 10 and 18 this year. Last year, 23 kids under

the age of 18 died of overdoses. So, sure, warn your kids about drinking and driving, and don’t buy minors alcohol, no matter how innocent they look outside of the liquor store. But keep the dialogue going with your teens about drugs. Show them the numbers.Tell them the people dying come from all walks of life.Tell them that it doesn’t matter if the person offering them drugs is a “good” person – they don’t really know what’s in that pill.

Budgets aren’t disaster-proof

As Mother Nature takes her toll on vast swaths of this province, one of the folks nervously watching those disasters unfold has to be B.C.’s finance minister. Technically, Carole James has not budgeted much money directly to deal with natural disasters. Finance ministers never really do, but changing weather patterns may force a change. The line item for costs associated with fighting forest fires or compensating flood victims is based on a rolling 10-year average.Thus, this year’s budget has set aside just $64 million for fighting fires even though last year’s total fire management costs exceeded $600 million. And the budget allocates a puny $15 million for costs arising from the Emergency Program Act, which deals with response to and recovery from emergencies and disasters. Last year’s total costs were $240 million. To be clear, any “budget” for dealing with disasters is largely fiction.While spending in other areas such as health and education is highly predictable (because fixed labour costs make up a huge portion of health and education budgets), spending on fires and floods is not. Fires have to be fought, floods have to be contained, cleanup must happen and victims must be compensated.The budget to cover those costs is simply what has to be spent at the end of the day. James tells me she is not thinking about ensuring her budget remains balanced in the face of what looks like

another spring and summer of natural disasters that may cost a tremendous amount of money to deal with. Rather, her mind is set on ensuring that people affected by fires and floods get the help they need. She maintains she has built enough elasticity to absorb any big costs arising from those looming disasters. Perhaps so, but she may find her balanced budget pushed right to the edge of a deficit if the fire season is particularly bad and the flooding gets much worse. James has socked away $550 million in the contingency fund and has a further $350 million sitting as a cushion to absorb any loss of revenues in other areas. That adds up to $900 million in unallocated spending. Now, $900 million sounds like a lot of money, but consider last year’s total disaster-associated costs were about $900 million more than is budgeted in that area this year. So James potentially has little elbow room to protect her tiny projected surplus of $219 million. If B.C. does suffer through another major wildfire season, James (and her successors in the finance portfolio) may have to revisit the practice of basing budgets on a 10-year average. Either that, or finance ministers will have to continue the practice of budgeting for huge contingency funds that likely have to get bigger each year. Keith Baldrey is chief political reporter for Global B.C.

It’s about time Burnaby had housing for homeless

i.e. their mental illness effectively treated, they were then released if, and only if, they were well enough and had adequate support in the community in which they would be living, not just existing. We did not have the homelessness or substance abuse/self-medicating in too many cases that we now do. Quadriplegics/those “broken from the neck down” are not sent from hospital without adequate treatment and supports. Those broken from the “neck up” also deserve to have their health-care needs effectively treated. Kudos to all involved in reaching this time where we are now treating the whole person who is homeless and struggling with mental illness and/or substance abuse. It really does take caring people to ensure our communities are the best they can be for all. Diane Gillis, president, Kingsway Imperial Neighbourhood Association

Editor: Re: Burnaby to get first homeless housing, Burnaby NOW, May 16. The news about housing for the homeless with “support to address mental health and substance abuse issues” is truly good news. The living conditions of too many of those living in homeless shelters is as inhumane as admitting people with cancer into hospital, but not providing surgery, chemotherapy, radiation or any other treatment for the cancer that led to them being hospitalized. The heartbreaking scenes on the streets of New Westminster, Surrey and Vancouver are evidence of the suffering of those who may have shelter but do not receive treatment for their mental illnesses and substance abuse. We have met with our MLAs more than once in recent years to speak for the need of such treatment and also about our provincial government fulfilling their responsibilities regarding housing, which we have also spoken of with our MP in regard to the federal government fulfilling its responsibilities regarding housing. We are encouraged that our provincial government is now working to address homelessness and years of neglect of those struggling with mental illness and/or substance abuse/selfmedicating. When I worked in psychiatry during my nursing training, I cared for people admitted to hospital due to mental illness which every effort was made to treat. When those folks were well enough,

Burnabyteachers electnewpresident Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The Burnaby Teachers’ Association will have a new leader when B.C. teachers return to collective bargaining after their contract expires next June, but the local union executive will also be stacked with past presidents. Moscrop English teacher Leanne Sjodin, who has served as first vice-president of the local for the last two years, was elected president at the BTA’s annual general meeting on May 15. Daniel Tetrault, a Moscrop social studies teacher, was elected first vice-president, and Heather Skuse (South Slope) was elected to the second vice-president post. Past presidents Rae Figursky (Alpha) and Patti Jukes (Burnaby Online) were elected secretary and treasurer respectively. Another past-president,

Richard Storch (Burnaby North) was elected secondary representative, while Renee Kerluke (Westridge Elementary) was elected elementary rep. Jennifer Heighton (Nelson Elementary) and Katie Marsh (a teacher on call) were elected as elementary and secondary members at large respectively. Local reps to the BCTF will be Derek Cockram (Taylor Park), Donna Morgan (math and science consultant) and Shanee Prasad (Byrne Creek). “We have an intelligent and committed executive committee ready to continue the work of supporting our colleagues in educating and caring for our students,” Sjodin said in an emailed statement. “With bargaining for a new collective agreement on the horizon, we are looking forward to advocating for more supports for teachers and students.”

Rezoning requests for three residential towers proposed for Metrotown are heading to a public hearing next week. All three proposals passed first reading May 7 after an initial report in April, asking council to rezone property from the RM3 multiple family zoning to CD comprehensive development district, based on the city’s Metrotown plan. A total of 211 units of low-cost, older rental units will be demolished in the process. Blue Sky Properties Inc. (Bosa) is requesting to build a 39-storey, 287-unit residential tower with six townhouses at 5977 Wilson Ave., while Telford Avenue Project LP is requesting to build a 33-storey, 290-unit tower with eight townhouses at 6525 Telford Ave. Belfort (McKay) Properties Limited Partnership is planning a 31-storey, 265-unit residential tower, with nine townhouses on the shared property of 6433 McKay Ave. and 6366 Cassie Ave. The public hearing takes place at Burnaby City Hall next Tuesday, May 29 at 7 p.m.

City now Seismic upgrades coming to school built in the 1950s Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

Kids at École Armstrong Elementary will take turns moving into portables for a few months this fall to facilitate a $6.7-million seismic upgrade to their high-risk school. When B.C. schools were first studied for seismic risk in 2004, the East Burnaby school was at first deemed a moderate risk during an

earthquake, but its risk rating was upped to high 1 in 2014 because of its gymnasium block, which is deemed “at highest risk of widespread damage or structural failure” during a quake, according to the province’s risk-rating scale. On May 17, the province announced it had approved the 400-student school for a $6.7-million seismic upgrade. The highest-risk area, the

1955 gym, and other common areas will be worked on first, according to school district director of facilities Cory Borg. “The gym is the main area because it’s a higher structure, and so anchoring the roof onto the gymnasium is the main one. In an earthquake, in a seismic activity, the walls shake back and forth, and the roof

is the thing that’s at risk, so they need to basically strap it down and go through the walls, right into the footings of the ground.” Borg said the district hopes to have five portables on site, so several classes at a time can be moved into them during construction. “Some will take longer,” Borg said. “We’re trying to group them appropriately,

but we don’t expect they’ll be in there any longer than two months, but a lot of it’s weather dependent.” Unlike a $3.3-million seismic upgrade at Montecito Elementary School that will see the addition of four extra classrooms to replace three portables, Armstrong will not get any new classrooms or other extra space as part of its project.

Work on Armstrong is expected to be finished in winter 2019. Eight of the 23 Burnaby schools in the province’s seismic mitigation program have been upgraded. Two schools – Alpha Secondary and Montecito Elementary – are under construction, and four are in the business-case development stage.

PHOTO PATRICIA TRINH, CONTRIBUTED

Alpha grad asks big questions in new show By Julie MacLellan

jmaclellan@burnabynow.com

Patricia Trinh found her tribe when she was at Alpha Secondary – in theatre, surrounded by other kids who were equally curious about the human condition. “Theatre kids really become a family,” says the Burnaby native, who graduated Alpha in 2007 and who credits drama teacher Felicity Rudolph for setting her on the path she’s on today. “I didn’t realize how much it shaped me as a person. It gave me a safe place to be, where it’s not weird that you are interested in these things.” “These things,” in Trinh’s case, meant pretty much, well, humanity. People, and how they get that way, and why they choose the paths they choose in life. For awhile she toyed with the idea of being a police officer, or maybe a lawyer, until she realized that it wasn’t that she wanted to be those things – she wanted to explore the characters of people who wanted to be those things. In high school theatre,

and in her subsequent theatre studies at the University of Victoria, she found people who felt how she felt: “It’s not weird that you are so curious about human psychology.” Fast forward to 2018, and Trinh is no less curious about the human condition. In fact, it’s her musings about people and how we got that way that led her to create the new work, Probability, that’s onstage as part of the rEvolver Theatre Festival May 24 to 27 at The Cultch. It’s the debut production of Trinh’s new company, Dusty Foot Productions, which she bills as “an emerging, female-centric, multimedia, multidisciplinary, independent theatre company.” Trinh wrote, directs and produces the show, which starts with the simple premise of two women meeting after midnight on a quiet Tuesday night.The two women are played by four actors – the two actual characters, and the two portraying what they don’t or can’t say aloud – and the story traces five possible paths

their relationship could venture down. “It’s a story about the space between certainty and probability,”Trinh says. “The story is about the ripple effects we see in life, how every tiny choice in life affects where you go.” For Trinh, as a 28-yearold queer Asian-Canadian, the story also gives her a chance to explore less-heard stories in theatre. She hopes to use her company to help tell the stories of those who haven’t been represented in typical white, straight, maledominated theatre – LGBTQ stories, immigrant stories, the stories of marginalized people. She wants to do so by focusing on the philosophical and universal questions in everyone’s lives. “What are the big questions that we all, as humans face?” she says. “How can we take those stories and normalize them, so everybody can connect to them?” For Trinh, a big part of helping people connect to her stories is exploring new ways to tell them. She points out not everyone is drawn to traditional, text-

More info: www.upinthe airtheatre.com/proba bility based theatre, so she incorporates multimedia and multidisciplinary elements such as digital projections, movement and shadow play. “I’m curious about how

the new technological world affects this text-based art form,” she says. “How can we share a story with people who may not interpret story through text? I want to be able to capture their interest.” The fact that she gets to use her voice to tell the stories she wants to tell, the way she wants to tell them, is something that Trinh is grateful for. She notes that there’s been a societal change over the past year-and-a-half or so, as the #MeToo movement has galvanized a new feeling among female performing artists – and women in general. “It feels there has been a shift, that women are coming together to support one another,” she says. “I live in a time and place that I don’t have to worry about expressing myself freely. I never realized how lucky and privileged I am.” It wasn’t until a backpacking trip to Southeast Asia and Bangladesh a few years ago that Trinh saw for herself what a difference that makes – when she found herself, in Bang-

ladesh, required to ensure that she was covered up from head to toe even in sweltering temperatures and when she saw how people assumed that the male friend she was travelling with was in charge of her. “It’s just so different on that side of the world,” she says. “It was a turning point for sure. I’m very glad I had that experience.” All of those experiences inspireTrinh to keep going and to plug away at the potential to make theatre her life. She admits it’s not an easy life and says it’s taken her until this point, in her late 20s, to be convinced that she wants to commit to it. “It’s very tough. I’m still navigating it. I’m very much emerging still,” she says. For now, she’s focusing her efforts on festivals, like rEvolver, that give emerging artists a chance to share work that wouldn’t otherwise have the funding to hit the stage. “I think it’s going to be an uphill battle,” she says. But she says it with a confidence that suggests she’s more than up for the challenge.

City now Burnaby student takes on the nation When it comes to seeing the world, Jerry Sun wants to be more than a witness. That’s why the Grade 10 student from Burnaby Mountain Secondary is so interested in geography. Sun likes to travel and enjoys being able to apply what he’s learned in school to landscapes in the real world. “It’s impressive to not

only be able to witness the Earth’s wonders but also understand what is going on behind the scenes,” Sun said in a news release. That interest in what goes on behind the scenes of the world has led Sun to earn a spot in the national finals of the Canadian Geographic Challenge, which kicks off this weekend. Sun is the re-

The challenge, which is in its 23rd year, is one of Canada’s biggest student competitions.This year, more than 650 schools and more than 22,000 students participated. Students went through classroom testing, and then each school champion faced off at the provin-

City now Umbrellas light up Metrotown Lauren Boothby

lboothby@burnabynow.com

If you ride the SkyTrain by Metrotown station, you might see a colourful display out your window. Burnaby Neighbourhood House and Belford Properties have teamed up to create an interactive, colourful art installation on the structure around the construction site of Belford Properties’ Sun Towers on Beresford Street.The installation features umbrellas designed by children in

an after-school program at Neighbourhood House set with LED lights that illuminate when coins are dropped into a donation box.Those funds go back to fund programs at Neighbourhood House. Antonia Beck, executive director of Burnaby Neighbourhood House, said she thinks the community will enjoy the installation. “When I see it, I think that it’s just such a beautiful aspect of the community,” she said. “It’s bright, and it’s engaging, and so

you’re walking what probably would be a very ugly walkway, it’s actually really bright and beautiful because of this art installation.” Belford Properties is building in the area and wanted to give back to the community, according to Beck. The company offered to fund an after-school program for three years with the caveat they create an art element to be used in this installation.

Spice up pasta with some homemade sauce Chef Dez

ON COOKING editorial@burnabynow.com

I have suggested on several occasions in this space that one should try their hand at making fresh pasta instead of always relying on purchasing it dry from a bag or box. Congratulations to you if you took my advice and tried your hand at this wonderful culinary skill. For those of you that did, and for those of you that never will, I want to give you some ideas for sauces to complement your pasta, be it from fresh or dry. The most common is the classic tomato sauce. Although chefs will consider it sacrilege to any pasta, a number of people still buy canned or jarred premade tomato sauces. Some will at least get creative by adding extra ingredients like onions or garlic, but nothing can take the place of good rustic homemade batch of tomato sauce.This does not have to be the style that simmers for hours on end either. Many great homemade sauces can start out with a little help from canned diced tomatoes and some tomato paste and be done in record time. Reduce it down even further at the end (by simmering some of the water content out) and replenish with some whipping cream and you now have a rosé sauce for those special occasions when calorie counting is not on your priority list.

Any ground meat (beef, pork, chicken, turkey, lamb, etc) cooked up at the beginning of the process will magically transform this rustic tomato or rosé sauce into a hearty meat sauce. Sausage meat can also be utilized in the same manner by removing it from the casings and cooking the same as ground meat. Italian sausage (mild or hot, depending on your tastes) is wonderful for this. A béchamel (white sauce) is a very simple sauce. Don’t let the fancy French culinary name scare you – it’s just milk thickened with flour and butter. A little seasoning (salt, pepper and a pinch of ground nutmeg) and you have an incredible sauce that can be a blank canvas for your favorite cheeses to be melted in or tossed with bits of grilled chicken. Add garlic and parmesan and you will basically have alfredo sauce. Oils infused with flavours and seasonings can be the base of a tasty light pasta coating. Heating olive oil over medium to low heat and letting ingredients like crushed garlic, chillies, herbs, etc. infuse their way into transforming an ordinary oil into a savoury enhancement.These types of sauces are perfect for less filling side dishes or during hot weather when a heavily thickened sauce is not desired. A batch of seasoned simmered vegetables can also be transformed into a smooth sauce bursting with flavours with the help of

a blender, food processor or hand immersion blender.We actually do one with ground lamb where it is simmered with a number of vegetables and herbs with some red wine. A few good pulses in a blender, at the end of the cook time, alter it into an amazing pasta sauce. One of the quickest pasta sauces you will ever make is a browned-butter sauce. It is exactly what the name states it to be – butter that has been browned.Take a hot pan and place a handful of cold butter cubes into it. Stir, or lift the pan and swirl, the melting butter until the butter foam has just started to brown and then toss with your favourite pasta. Your favourite fresh delicate herb (basil, oregano, sage) can also be added at the time of the cold butter for an incredible infusion of herbal essential oils. Although we have all been taught never to add butter to a hot pan for fear that it will burn, the trick is to stop the cooking process of the “browning” butter before it hits the “burning” stage. Use salted butter to be more complementary in taste, and you will have to do less seasoning afterwards. These are merely suggestions as it would be literally impossible to cover every single type of pasta sauce idea here. What I want this column to be is an invitation for you to blow some dust off your cookbook collection or search recipes from the internet. Pasta is probably my

favourite thing to eat, but I realize with most people that eating is not the problem; it’s the cooking part that feels like a chore sometimes. Find a way to make

it fun.When I was younger, one thing I always insisted on when cooking pasta was to listen to Pavarotti while doing so. I still do on occasion, but now it is not only

Pavarotti, but also Andrea Bocelli, Josh Groban and others – and always with a glass of wine. Visit Chef Dez at www. chefdez.com.

Shop on wheels brings books to the people By Mario Bartel

editorial@burnabynow.com

People aren’t going to independent bookshops as much, so Hilary Atleo is bringing her independent bookshop to the people. Atleo is both the driving force behind and the driver behind the wheel of Iron Dog Books. You read that right. Her book shop is a truck. Atleo, who lives in the UniverCity neighbourhood at SFU on Burnaby Mountain, opened her shop last November. She said the idea of a mobile bookstore was borne from serendipity and necessity.When she was working at a bookshop in Edmonton, she would often daydream with colleagues about casting off the drudgery of the workday routine to hit the road doing what they love the most — selling books.The necessity is having two young children who demand flexibility in her work schedule. Atleo said she explored opening her own bricksand-mortar shop, but there was too much uncertainty about finding a location at a rent she could afford, and too much risk as many book buyers opt for the convenience of online shopping or the vast selection of bigbox retailers. That brought her back to the fantastical notion of bringing a selection of used and new books to readers. It combines the convenience of online shopping with the relaxed vibe of browsing shelves and being surrounded by literary possibilities. Moreover, it would give her self-employment a sense of mission. “Independent and second-hand book stores are disappearing,” Atleo said. “We realize how many areas are becoming literary des-

After one deal for a truck fell through, Atleo found a suitable panel van on Craigslist, in Victoria. But regular home renovation contractors were stumped how to turn a cold, metal former medical services vehicle into a warm, inviting space that resembles “an old British philosopher’s den.” Atleo also had specific technical requirements; she wanted the vehicle to be completely self-contained so she didn’t have to carry a generator or search for an electrical outlet, and the interior had to be kept above

a minimum temperature so the glue in book bindings wouldn’t freeze and cause their spines to crack. Her saviour was a boat

Atleo said her overall collection is much larger, so she can rotate stock and curate selection to her anticipated market when she takes the truck to community events and festivals. There’s also a small selection of door latches attached to one of the interior wood panels to occupy little ones while their parents browse, as well as a couple of small stools to accommodate story time. Atleo said running a book shop is as much about creating community as selling tomes, so she has plans for author readings as well as collaborations with retailers. She also wants to bring her truck further afield, to

builder in Richmond used to dealing with similar requirements, and she couldn’t be more pleased with the end result, including the dark wood shelves that hold about 3,500 books.

FIND THE BOOKSHOP Intrigued?You can find Iron Dog Books at the new Our Stories event (in partnership with The Peak, SFU’s student newspaper). Running once a month until September, Iron Dog Books will be hosting evening storytelling in the Town

Bring a picnic dinner or hang on the patio at nearby Club Ilia and enjoy the wide variety of storytellers.

Arts conference ends with Point exhibition

Guests had a chance to check out the Vue Point exhibition at Deer Lake Gallery as part of the finale event for the Arts B.C. conference, which ran in Burnaby from May 10 to 12 with representatives from arts councils across the province attending meetings and workshops. Artist Susan Point, whose work has been widely exhibited in North America, Asia and Europe, was on hand at the gallery for the occasion. Point – who is an officer of the Order of Canada and also earned a Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal for her contributions to Canada – also had the chance to share the news that she has been given another prestigious honour: the Audain Prize for Lifetime Achievement in the Visual Arts, presented by Vancouver Art Gallery. She’ll be presented with the award at a gala May 24.

BACK TO FRONT: The Burnaby Lakers’ focus on success in 2018, including defending their first Western Lacrosse Association regular season title, will depend upon another great season from the defensive side, where netminder Eric Penney, shown above corralling the ball with teammate Jackson Decker at the ready, was voted the league’s Most Outstanding Goalkeeper.

Defence gets spotlight in Lakers’ plan Burnaby looks to defend its first-ever league title with a balanced, backline focus

Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

There will be a banner for hanging, but the focus this year will be on another banner for the taking. The Burnaby Lakers begin 2018 as defending Western Lacrosse Association regular season champions – a first for the organization since moving from Richmond in 1990 – but won’t be hanging their hats on that accomplishment for too long. As head coach Peter Tellis sees it, lessons of last year will be helpful, but the spotlight is on the here and now, and what can be in the near future. “Not getting to the second round was obviously disappointing,” said Tellis, who took over the head coaching duties late in the season. “There are a lot of veterans on the team, especially last year, who were pushing hard, and to fall a little short was disappointing. … Coming forward this year, as much as you look back, we are definitely looking forward. “We are looking to get better every day, whenever we are on the floor, and that will continue to be

our focus.” The events of 2017 provided plenty of grist for the mill, but Burnaby was a sleeper team at the start that opened many eyes along the way.When team governor Ed Safarik relieved coach and general manager Jim Milligan of his duties with three games remaining, the cards could have fallen in many directions.Tellis, however, did a good job of keeping the players on task to lock up the franchise’s first-ever league crown. Although a stinging seven-game loss to Victoria in the opening round put a damper on the season, the overall picture was hopeful. Now, the aim is to take that next step in a league where the top four teams were separated by four points. “Long term goal is obviously the Mann Cup, but we’re breaking down the season into parts.That’s our primary focus, one step at a time. … Trying to get that monkey off our backs and get past the first round.” said Lakers general manager Kevin Hill. “No one’s spot in the playoffs is secured at all.” With fourth-place New West

emerging as playoff champions, before falling to Peterborough in six games in the Mann Cup, the unpredictable nature of the WLA isn’t lost on Lakers management. The club has done its best to secure as many returning veterans as possible, led by the league’s 2017

Most Outstanding Player Robert Church and Most Outstanding Goaltender Eric Penney. The pair led a balanced crew where defence and offence were part of an all-hands-on-deck approach, and one that will be applied again this season, said Hill. “I don’t want this team to rely on just one person; it’s going to be a group effort. Everybody is going to contribute and what my goal is is to not have any passengers. Everybody

is going to have a role and that’s what needs to be done for us to be successful,” noted Hill. The offence took a few significant hits in the off season when a trio of goal-per-game talents pulled up stakes. Burnaby lost young snipers Josh Byrne and Cam Milligan – both choosing to stay back east to play in the pro outdoor lacrosse league – and veteran Jason Jones to senior B in Ladner, but a list of notables are vying for important roles with the club. Three newcomers are expected to amp it up on the defensive side, bolstering what was a strength last year. Burnaby has added a pair of Ontario products in Keegan Letourneau and Adam Perroni, and Albertan A.J. Kuck. Letourneau and Kuck were teammates in 2015 on Six Nations’ Minto Cup win. Both Letourneau and Perroni have National Lacrosse League experience, with Vancouver and Rochester, respectively. “All three are huge additions to our lineup, and we hope to be defensively strong. Adding three great Continued on page 22

By distance of jump or throw, Burnaby Central’s Alessio Marengon was in the zone last week. The Grade 12 athlete picked up gold medals in both the triple jump and hammer throw as part of a strong Wildcats performance at the zone track and field championships hosted by Burnaby Central. The home team finished second behind Richmond’s R.A. McMath in the senior division by a score of 197 to 171, edging out New West. With top-two results earning a spot at next week’s provincials, Marengon also advanced in the long jump, where he placed second. Brent Wu, in 1500-metre racewalk, and DanielYu, in 400m hurdles, also scored gold for Burnaby Central. The school also topped the senior boys 4x400m race. The Burnaby Mountain Lions got first-place results from seniors Elyse Willans, in girls 1500m racewalk, and Thomas Luong, in javelin, en route to fifth overall. Also clinching berths to the B.C.s were Nicole Liang and Alex Romero, with silver in their respective 3000m races. Ephrem Belaineh, Shea Janke and Diego Medrano were tops in their events for Burnaby South. Belaineh won the 800m race and placed second in the 1500m, Janke captured the 2000m steeplechase title, while Medrano was first to the finish line in the 110m hurdles. Burnaby North’s Kaito McKelvie won the high jump to advance to the provincials. Leading the district’s top junior results were Burnaby Mountain’s Kosta Adzic, with wins in three events – the 800, 1500 and 3000m races, Central’s Sebastian Saymunski, who won both the 200and 400m races, and South’s Taya Batiste, who picked up gold in both the 100 and 200m junior girls dash events.

Mawji picked for Sao Paulo

Burnaby’s Hanif Mawji is among seven athletes named to the BISFed 2018 Sao Paulo Brazil Regional Open by Boccia Canada. The open, which runs this week,

pits Canada against Brazil, Chile, El Salvador, Peru, Ecuador, Argentina, Costa Rica and South Africa. Mawji, 40, plays in the B1 category of the Cerebal Palsy sport division.

Continued from page 21 players like that was really key, especially with not many draft picks,” said Tellis. There wasn’t a bounty of picks in last February’s draft due to trades, which saw the Lakers not select until the fifth round. But the club did add a trio of talents in Tommy Robertson, Brine Rice and Alex Bodin, who are expected to provide depth and possibly more this season. The team has even inked veteran NLL and WLA forward Athan Iannucci, who sat out 2017, to provide some depth on the right side. A lot will hinge upon defence and goaltending, with the likes of Justin Salt, Matt Beers and Matt McGrotty giving Penney and Boychuk the means in which to make the big stops. “In order to win a championship, it’s done from the net out,” said Hill, who, like Tellis, is in his first full year on the job. “I feel we have the best goalie combo, and once we have everybody back in the lineup, I believe we’ll

have the best defensive unit in the league as well. If we can keep teams down to seven goals a game, I think our offence can do the job of scoring more than seven.” The club, which opens the season Wednesday in Langley and heads to Victoria on Friday, will patch holes and provide opportunities in the next few weeks until all the NLL players – where Church and McGrotty’s Saskatchewan Rush face Perroni’s Rochester in the best-ofthree final – return home. It means writing the lineups in pencil for the time being. But Tellis said, once the games begin, he envisions a team ramping up to repeat the successes and more of last year. “We are there to compete every night and get better every day. Our goal is to finish in the top-four in the league and once we’re in the playoffs we get ready for the next part.” The Lakers’ first home game is June 1 when they host the Coquitlam Adanacs.

Burnaby renters overspending on housing – even more than in Vancouver It won’t come as a surprise to that Metro Vancouver renters are spending too much of their income on housing, nor will it come as a shock that rental housing costs are climbing faster than incomes. But that was confirmed by the 2018 Canadian Rental Housing Index, a comprehensive, interactive database of rental housing statistics released earlier this month by a national partnership of housing associations, credit unions, and municipal associations. Nationally, according to the index, 40 per cent of renter households spend more than 30 per cent of their gross household income on rent, while 18 per cent spend more than 50 per cent. Thirty per cent of household income is generally accepted as the threshold of affordability. In Burnaby, the figures were higher than the national average. Some 45 per cent of rental households were said to be spending more than 30 per cent of their income on rent and utilities, and one-quarter are spending more than 50 per cent. In Vancouver, 44 per cent are spending more than 30 per cent of their income on housing costs, while 22 per cent of Vancouver households are spending 50 per cent or more. “What this data is showing is that really [overspending on rent] is now becoming the new normal,” said Jill Atkey, acting CEO of the BC Non-Profit Housing Association. She added that spending 50 per cent is “putting those individuals and families at risk of

Burnaby remains the third-priciest city in the country for both oneand two-bed rental units, according to the latest monthly survey from Padmapper. The rental website’s May snapshot of its current listings found Burnaby to be second only to Vancouver and Toronto for both bedroom types, at a current median of $1,560 and $2,150 a month respectively. With Burnaby proving a scorching rental market, its one-bedroom median rent saw an even steeper month-over-month climb than Vancouver’s, up 4.7 per cent from April. The median rental prices of Padmapper’s advertised units fluctuate each month, based on the current listings. But longer-term comparisons tend to show more accurate trends – and one- and two-bed median rents in Burnaby are up 11.4 and 15.6 per cent year over year, respectively. Vancouver is still the most expensive city in Canada in terms of median rents on both one- and two-bedroom units. Padmapper found Vancouver’s median one-bed rent to be $2,100 a month, which is 4.5 per cent higher than in April and slightly higher than Toronto’s $2,080. It is also 8.2 per cent higher than a year ago.
