COURT

Suspect in local killing arrested in South Korea Sought by police since 2006, man has been extradited to Canada

Cornelia Naylor

A suspect in a fatal 2006 shooting in Burnaby made his first appearance in court this week after being extradited from South Korea Friday. Jui-Kai Weng (formerly LeeChia “Kenny”Weng) was 28 years old in early 2006 when he was charged with second-degree murder and attempted murder in relation to a double shooting on Jan. 22, 2006. At about 2:20 a.m. that day, Burnaby RCMP responded to a call of shots fired in the parking lot of 3355 North Rd., according to an IHIT press release. Police found two men with gunshot wounds and both were taken to hospital. One of the victims sustained non-life-threatening gunshot wounds, but 19-year-old Shaoxin Zhang died of his injuries. Witnesses told police three men had gone up to a couple of others, and there had been an argument followed by gun shots, according to reports at the time. The suspects were then seen in a Toyota Camry, heading south along North Road. Weng was quickly identified as a suspect in the case, but IHIT learned he had fled to Taiwan soon after the shooting. An Interpol red notice was issued for his arrest and, in March, IHIT was informed Weng had been taken into custody in South Korea. The South Korean courts granted his extradition on June 26, and he arrived in Canada Friday.

City signals Metrotown shift

Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

The City of Burnaby is signalling a major change of course in its strategy to redevelop the Metrotown area, as it seeks to become the first municipality in B.C. to implement new rental-only zoning powers. The city also hopes to strike deals that would guarantee new homes at similar rental rates for individuals displaced in so-called “demovictions,” according to Mayor Derek Corrigan. Burnaby city council made the first move in this new plan at a hastily scheduled special council meeting on June 19. Councillors

voted to rescind first reading to two proposals that were scheduled to go to public hearing on July 24. Council gave initial approval in April to the two highrise buildings proposed by Anthem Properties Group.The towers would have replaced 177 rental units in three walk-up buildings at 6444 Willingdon Ave. and 4241 Wilson Ave. in Metrotown.The proposals included 30 units of not-for-profit rental housing. But that wasn’t enough, Corrigan said. Councillors sent the rezoning applications back to staff with the goal of having as many as half of the units guaranteed to be nonmarket rental units in perpetuity. Corrigan said the special coun-

ing to be much more within the means of people who are living in those previous units.” Corrigan said those affordable rents will only be achieved with help from the NDP government in Victoria. And, he said, city staff will try to strike deals with developers to make sure individuals displaced when their apartment building is demolished get the first opportunity to rent a unit in a new building. “We think there’s been a real increase in the ability of cities to negotiate the requirements that we’re placing on any redevelopment,” Corrigan said.

cil meeting was scheduled after Coun. Colleen Jordan learned on Friday the details of new provincial legislation that allows cities to zone land specifically to be only for rentals. Until then, he said, council didn’t know the city could zone a portion of units, and even specific floors of a building, to be rental-only. The ultimate goal, Corrigan said, is to have one-to-one replacement – with every apartment torn down replaced by a new apartment at similar monthly rent. “I’m not going to over-promise,” he said. “I don’t think council wants to over-promise that they’re going to be at the same rents, but they want to get rents that are go-

Burnaby has third-highest rents Dubious honour comes as activists recognize one year of city policy

Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

One year after Burnaby passed a plan to transform Metrotown into a dense downtown core, housing activists are as determined as ever to protect affordable rental stock for the city’s low-income residents. Several labour unions have joined ACORN in calling for a moratorium on demovictions – the process by which a developer buys a rental apartment building, evicts tenants, razes the structure and replaces it with a new building, often a

highrise condo tower. “We’re in the middle of a housing crisis and our members can’t afford to live because they spend more than 50 per cent of their income on housing alone,” said Alli Massie, chair of the Teaching Support Staff Union at SFU. Massie spoke at a press conference in front of a recently vacated apartment building on Sussex Avenue Tuesday. She said housing affordability is the number one issue for TSSU members. “Tons of our members live in the Metrotown area

... and a lot of them have been demovicted and displaced or are having to move away simply because they can’t afford the rents that are here.” The BC Government Employees and Service Union and CUPE 23, which represents City of Burnaby employees, have also called for an end to demovictions. Burnaby has the thirdhighest rents in the country, behind Toronto and Vancouver, according to PadMapper.The median rent is $1,500 for a one-bedroom apartment and $2,260 for a

two-bedroom apartment. ACORN activist Murray Martin said a new initiative from the City of Burnaby’s council to create the province’s first rental-only zoning is not enough. He said “you would have to be a fool” to believe the “sudden change of heart” was not related to the election, as Mayor Derek Corrigan claims. Martin said the Metrotown Downtown Plan and rezoning has had a disastrous effect on rental stock. Hundreds of rental units remain slated for demolition following previous approvals from the city.

Mayor caving to ‘political pressure’: ACORN Continued from page 1 “What we’re going to do is push the element of replacement housing further than it’s been pushed to this point,” said Corrigan, adding the new strategy will apply to more than just the two Anthem developments. “We’re hoping to be able to achieve a one-to-one ratio right through the Metrotown redevelopments and, if we can do that, that would be at least part way to accommodating people who are displaced and people who will need that housing in the future,” he said. On Monday, council unanimously passed a motion instructing staff to start working on a bylaw that would ensure all rental apartments destroyed be replaced with rental new units that would be available to existing tenants at “established, affordable

rates.” A looming Oct. 20 civic election and ongoing criticism of council’s record on housing in Metrotown played no role in this change, Corrigan said. He said his council has been pushing for rental zoning legislation since 1990 and was eager to be the first to put it into practice. “When you get your choices expanded, when you get the ability to do more, you would be bloody-minded if you didn’t look at those opportunities,” he said. Asked if he regrets his record on Metrotown housing, Corrigan said: “I think we’ve done the best we could under the circumstances that we had and, no, I don’t regret doing the best I can under the circumstances I’ve been given.” ACORN housing activist Murray Martin said he

believed Corrigan was caving to pressure with just over three months to go before the election. “This is political pressure that he has come to this position, and I don’t trust him, after the election, to carry through with this,” Martin said. “It’s no coincidence that Mayor Corrigan and his council have all of a sudden developed a concern about tenants being displaced.” Martin said he had prepared more than 500 submissions for the planned public hearing. He previously declared victory when council pulled two other proposals the night before a public hearing and sent them back to staff in an effort to have more non-market rental housing included. SFU political scientist Paddy Smith said Corrigan’s new approach is likely, in part,

a response to rhetoric from the man seeking to unseat him as mayor. Mike Hurley has put Metrotown housing at the forefront of his campaign. “It’s certainly, I’m sure, in response to the criticism, but I’m not so sure the criticism was always as warranted as some people thought,” Smith said. Corrigan’s contention that his hands were tied given the powers he had in previous years has merit, according to Smith. “It’s not a bad explanation,” he said. “It doesn’t explain why it took so long to get here.” “It might explain why Burnaby is first off the mark on this. They’re catching up to where public opinion is. The election’s not so far away, so I think they’re probably realizing they needed to have a response.”

The deadline for the eviction of Camp Cloud came and went Saturday morning with the smell of pancakes in the air and Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan vowing the city would go to court to oust those living there. People living at Camp Cloud at the gates of Kinder Morgan’s tank farm on Burnaby Mountain responded to an eviction notice issued by the city on July 18 by holding a peaceful pancake breakfast event. Once that was over, people representing Camp Cloud had harsh words for the City of Burnaby at a press conference, with spokesperson Kwitsel Tatel accusing the city of acting in bad faith with the eviction notice, as well as the repeated orders to extinguish the camp’s ceremonial fires. Tatel said the eviction notice shows that Corrigan and the city aren’t really supportive of people against the Trans Mountain pipeline project. “If the City of Burnaby is really in alliance with Camp Cloud and all frontline people opposing this pipeline, well, you got me fooled,”Tatel told an assembled throng of more than a dozen media outlets. Tatel said repeated visits by city bylaw officers and police amounted to “sneak attacks” by the city – and the people of Camp Cloud will not be “genocided off our land.” The group had a meeting scheduled with Burnaby city manager Lambert Chu on Monday to discuss a variety of issues, but that ended up being postponed because members of Camp Cloud wanted it in a “neu-

tral” location and not city hall. Corrigan said on Saturday that the city would be going to court “sooner than later” to get an “enforceable order that the RCMP feel comfortable in utilizing.” Corrigan was appearing at the launch of the new Willingdon Linear Park when media arrived fresh off the Camp Cloud press conference. Corrigan took great pains to distance himself and council from the decision to go to court, saying it was up to city staff to enforce the bylaws. “Council doesn’t have any direct impact in that,” he told reporters. But he said that it was the opinion of the RCMP, Burnaby fire department, provincial fire department, BC Hydro and Kinder Morgan that Camp Cloud was posing dangers through its ceremonial fires and permanent structures over gas lines. “The overwhelming evidence is this is a danger to the public,” he said. Corrigan also criticized the drinking and drug use at the camp. “This has escalated far beyond any symbolic protest camp,” he said. In general, the city has the authority to remove illegal structures or illegally parked vehicles on city property, but Corrigan said the RCMP would prefer the city got a court order. Tatel said Camp Cloud will not be putting out its fire because the flames represent the overall fight against climate change. “We need to protect the sacred fire, for if we lose it, we all lose,” she said. -With additional reporting by Lauren Boothby, Kelvin Gawley and Jennifer Gauthier

City now Murder victim’s family won’t accept apology Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

The family of slain Burnaby teen Luka Gordic didn’t think much of a defence lawyer’s unconventional expressions of sympathy in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver Tuesday. After arguing that one of the young men convicted of manslaughter in Gordic’s 2015 swarming death in Whistler should be sentenced as a youth and not go to jail, defence lawyer Brij Mohan took a moment to turn to Gordic’s family. “No parent should go through what Mr. Gordic’s parents have gone through,” he said. “I would like to of-

fer sincere apologies on behalf of myself, (the accused) and on behalf of the community.” Donna Turko, the defence lawyer for another young man, echoed his sentiments. Gordic’s family members, however, could be seen shaking their heads, with one saying, “Stop it.” “No way,” Gordic’s mom Clara told the NOW outside of the court. “I will never accept an apology. It’s over three years too late.” Sentencing continued Tuesday for three people convicted in Gordic’s death. All three were youths at the time of the killing, so they cannot be named because of a publication ban.

RE: LIQUOR CONTROL AND LICENSING ACT APPLICATION FOR A MANUFACTURER LOUNGE ENDORSEMENT

Application for a new Manufacturer Lounge Endorsement has been received by the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch from Steamworks (Burnaby), located at 3845 William Street in Burnaby. The proposed lounge will consist of one interior area of 50 persons. The proposed hours of liquor service are from 11:00 AM to 12:00 Midnight daily. Residents and owners of businesses located within a 0.5 mile (0.8 km) radius of the proposed site may comment on this proposal by:

Two were convicted of manslaughter in October. The other was found guilty of second-degree murder. Gordic’s family and the Crown have previously called for all three to be sentenced as adults. On Monday, Crown prosecutor Hank Reiner argued the two men convicted of manslaughter should get a jail sentence in the range of four to six years. For second-degree mur-

der, the third could face a mandatory life sentence with no chance of parole for seven years if he is sentenced as an adult. On Tuesday, Mohan argued his client – one of the two convicted of manslaughter – should be sentenced as a youth and serve a two-year term under community supervision. Turko also called for a non-custodial youth sentence for her client.

Opinion now OUR VIEW

Being on a notorious list should motivate us

Burnaby made a terrible list last week. Our city was one of 20 B.C. communities identified by the provincial government as urgently needing to improve the response to drug overdoses. It wasn’t meant as a criticism of Burnaby; it was merely a reflection of the terrible toll this crisis is taking on people who live here. There were more than 44 illicit drug overdose deaths in Burnaby in 2017. According to data from

the B.C. Coroners Service, last year’s deaths are higher than those from 2013, 2014 and 2015 combined (40).There were 39 deaths in 2016. That’s a staggering increase, requiring a rapid response.The province announced Burnaby will receive up to $100,000 to create a working group to assess the city’s available addiction- and overdose-related resources, and to create a plan to prevent overdose deaths and support those

with addictions through treatment and recovery. Burnaby’s newly formed Community Action Team – a group of front-line community agencies, city representatives, experts and those with “lived experience” of drug addictions – are in the final stages of completing a grant application to access the province’s new Community Overdose Crisis Innovation Fund. According to one Burnaby person involved in the CAT, one of the problems

is too many people consider this more of a Vancouver problem. Michel Pouliot, executive director of Burnaby Family Life, told the NOW that although there aren’t as many deaths as in Vancouver, the crisis here is significant. “We don’t talk about it a lot; we tend to think about the overdose crisis as being a Downtown Eastside kind of crisis, but it’s very significant even here in Burnaby, and we need to have a coordinated community re-

sponse.” So, this is the point of this editorial – to talk about the problem.We all need to acknowledge that Burnaby is a great place to live but that too many people are dying because they’ve used drugs alone and have overdosed. Admitting we have a problem doesn’t diminish our community.There shouldn’t be a stigma attached to this admission. One of the outcomes of the new funding is a possible community dialogue se-

ries to address the stigmas. Another goal is education for users about how to reduce some of the risks, such as not using alone. The more we talk about this, the more people are educated on the subject. That leads to people using drugs in a safer way. It also leads to people being trained in the use of naloxone – a medication that can save the life of someone who has overdose. Let’s all get involved in being part of the solution.

Ride-hailing plan stymies parties Few issues seem to bedevil both the BC NDP and the BC Liberals like “ride hailing” does. After watching the BC Liberals fumble the issue for several years, we now are witnessing the BC NDP’s clumsy attempt to fulfil a key campaign promise to bring ride hailing to this province. It is not going to happen anytime soon, which means Metro Vancouver will continue to operate in the last century when it comes to taxi services. The latest timeline sees September 2019 as the target date for allowing companies such as Uber or Lyft access to the B.C. market. The BC NDP’s election platform included a promise to do it by 2017.The first backtrack occurred last October, when the government opted to commission a study. The study, which was essentially about improving the existing taxi industry and paid little heed to ridesharing, was made public last week, and Transportation Minister Claire Trevena promised to introduce legislation – six existing statutes must be amended – this fall. However,Trevena was either unable or unwilling to go further than that and say when, exactly, ridesharing services can be expected. It was left to a ministry news release to reveal the September 2019 target (I can only assume Trevena did not want to provide a soundbite that could come back to haunt her if and when that target date is missed). I have no skin in this

game, as I live in Victoria, where getting a taxi is relatively easy. But I have many friends and colleagues in Vancouver who are rightly enraged about the lack of reliable taxi services. Women, in particular, find the taxi situation to be unsafe. Standing alone on a downtown Vancouver street at night, waiting endlessly for a taxi, can lead to dangerous situations. So why has this issue flummoxed both parties? One popular theory is that the existing taxi industry is a powerful political lobby and influential in key electoral “swing” ridings that determined the result of the last election. The ridings are in areas such as south Vancouver and north-central Surrey, and neither of the two main parties wants to do anything that upsets a good portion of the taxi community – the owners, drivers and their families – that reside in those ridings. The B.C. Greens are calling for this issue to be approved. Last week, B.C. Green MLA Adam Olsen told me the rest of B.C. is “being held hostage” by the taxi industry and those key swing ridings. He does not appear to be wrong. As a result, do not expect to be able to quickly summon Uber or Lyft to your door for quite a while. And if the existing industry remains shielded from radical change, ridesharing services may never appear in this province. Keith Baldrey is chief political correspondent for Global BC.

SFU settles over film shoot

A $30,000 out-of-court settlement terminated a lawsuit filed by SFU against the production company that filmed part of Arnold Swarzenegger’s science fiction action movie The 6th Day on campus. For a two-minute car chase scene, the production crew drained the Academic Quadrangle pond, built a bridge and a couple ramps, and dismantled some stairs. SFU had sued to hang onto about $100,000, essentially the film company’s damage deposit, until unassessed damage done during the shoot could be looked at.

Money shouldn’t have been spent on linear park Editor: I was not in favour of the construction of Burnaby’s Willingdon Linear Park, but favoured the construction of some type of low-income housing or some other public need. Over the past 20 years or so, the City of Burnaby has acquired several homes along the Willingdon “strip” in order to create an expressway. The mayor stated that the linear park was created with money provided by those companies that profited from the relaxing of the land zone requirements, which enabled them to expand their highrise building extensively. The mayor fails to acknowledge that 20 years ago or so, the City of Burnaby began buying up property along the Willingdon corridor with a view to construct an expressway for public transit. The value of the vacant property – in today’s terms – is huge, and if sold today the resulting money could be applied to the construction of a much-needed hospital, or other facility. Furthermore, the estimated $2 million received from the aforesaid zonal fund from developers could also be applied to a muchneeded public project, rather than a glorified linear park where families can walk, sit and play amid carbon monoxide fumes.

FPTP system must go Editor: Re: Pro-PR must keep it simple, NOW, Opinion, July 11 In his analysis of the electoral reform campaign, columnist Keith Baldrey skimmed over the reason we’re having the campaign in the first place, which is that our current first-past-the-post voting system does not work all that well. The job at hand is to elect representatives to the legislature, and it does that. But is that enough? Do the seats in the legislature resemble the way we voted? No they don’t. And that’s the problem. At the riding level, about half the voters in every riding end up with a representative they didn’t vote for and very likely don’t agree with on major policy issues. These are serious problems and that’s why electoral reform is such an important issue. So yes, we need to consider the pros and cons that Keith mentioned in his column but the starting point has to be the recognition that our existing first-past-the-post voting system is not that great at the task it’s supposed to do.

You have probably also lost the ability to hear the letters; ‘F-P-K & T’. With untreated hearing loss, you won’t be hearing those words either. Hearing aids from NexGen Hearing can put the words back and make hearing easier.

Communitynow City gets $2.4 million from traffic fines

Burnaby First vows to run a full slate of candidates Kelvin Gawley

If you were caught speeding last year, the fine you paid could now be going towards making Burnaby a safer place. Last month, the city received $2.4 million from the province in an annual grant, as part of its Traffic Fine Revenue Sharing Program. Last year, Burnaby spent the money on staffing a mental health coordinator in the RCMP, as well as a homelessness coordinator. The city also spent the cash on mountain bikes for a police patrol squad, a distracted driving awareness campaign and youth outreach programs. “The City of Burnaby will continue to use grant funds to strengthen policing services in the community in supporting crime reduction and improving safety,” reads a city report. “Grant funds help to reduce the impact of police costs on property taxes.”

Barnet swimming banned Cayley Dobie

Swimming at Barnet Marine Park beach is closed until further notice thanks to too much E. coli in the water. E.coli is a bacteria often found in intestines of warm-blooded animals, including humans.The City of Burnaby closed the beach two weeks ago after water quality tests revealed high levels of E. coli bacteria. As of July 24, the E. coli levels remained unsatisfactory, according to Fraser Health. To be considered satisfactory, water samples must be less than or equal to 200 E.coli bacteria per 100 millilitres, according to Fraser Health and the Guidelines for Cana-

dian Recreational Water Quality. Samples taken from Barnet Marine Park beach last Thursday and Friday contained more than 400 E. coli bacteria per 100 ml, according to Steve Bruneau, acting assistant director of Burnaby Parks and Recreation. “The advisory is still in place, unfortunately,” he told the NOW. “The readings are too high and for the public’s safety, it’s just best to stay out (of the water).” Water samples collected indicate E. coli levels are improving. “We’re asking them to keep on top of this and let us know because the people, they want to go in the water,” he added. The park is only closed for swimming. The rest of the park remains open.

The Burnaby First Coalition is confident it will elect a “swath” of candidates to city council and school board this fall despite not being first to enter the race. The party will hold a vote in mid-August where members will choose its mayor, councillor and trustee candidates, according to spokesperson John Smith. Smith said the party will provide a “moderate choice” to Burnaby voters. “We like to position ourselves as the middle-ground, common-sense party,” he said. Following the nominations, Smith said, the party will gradually release its platform, which will be an updated and expanded version of the one it put forward in 2014. Smith said the platform will focus on tax cuts, supporting business and addressing housing and homelessness. He said affordable housing is being “eliminated at far too high of a rate” in

Metrotown and called demovictions there “probably the most serious issue that our community is facing.” A BFC council would engage in more consultation and limit the amount of new developments in Metrotown, Smith said. “We’re not necessarily anti-development, per se, but we can very, very blatantly and obviously recognize that the rate of development and the destruction of affordable housing has been far too great,” he said. Last election, the BCF failed to elect any of its eight council candidates, as the Burnaby Citizens Association swept all seats for the third consecutive election. The top BFC council candidate, Helen Ward, came nearly 5,000 votes short of a seat, while the party’s mayoral candidate, Darren Hancott, received 22 per cent of the vote to BCA incumbent Derek Corrigan’s 69 per cent. Smith said those results were not bad for a party participating in its first election.

Province launches new program to help combat elder abuse in B.C.

Seniors First BC estimates about eight per cent of B.C. seniors experience some form of abuse – but that number could be even higher as many older adults are often reluctant to report abuse. The Ministry of Health contributed $1.4 million to support elder abuse awareness and prevention.The province provided $1.1 million to the B.C. Association of Community Response Networks and $300,000 to Seniors First BC. “Recognizing elder abuse, and knowing who to report it to, is key,” Isobel Mackenzie, British Columbia’s seniors advocate, said in a press release. “These grants to two vital agencies will help to achieve this.” According to the Ministry of Health, elder abuse, including neglect, is defined as a single or repeated act, or a lack of appropriate action, that causes harm or distress to an older person. Elder abuse – which can be physical, emotional, verbal,

A few quick facts

Here are a few facts about elder abuse, courtesy of the Government of Canada. ! Financial abuse is the most commonly reported type of elder abuse. ! Most older people who experience abuse are able to make decisions for themselves. ! Abuse can happen to anyone, in any family or relationship. It can happen to people of all backgrounds,

financial, sexual, spiritual or neglectful – can take place in a senior’s home, a care facility or in the community, and often involves a person in a position of trust or a situation of dependency. “We all play a part in making sure our communities are safe places where seniors can live life to the fullest,” said B.C. Health Minister Adrian Dix in a press release. “Supporting the B.C. Association of Community Response Networks and Seniors First

Older adults may feel too ashamed or embarrassed to tell anyone they are being abused by someone they trust, may fear retaliation or punishment, may have concerns about having to move from their home or community and may also feel a sense of family loyalty.

BC helps protect the people who once protected us by raising awareness of the signs of elder abuse and neglect, and where people can to turn to for help.” The B.C. Association of Community Response Networks is the coordinating body for Community Response Networks (CRN), which are networks of individuals, groups and agencies that work together to promote a coordinated community response to elder abuse and neglect.

Provincial funding will help the B.C. CRN to strengthen its existing networks and workshops, like It’s Not Right! and Gatekeeper, which are educational programs that teach people how to recognize signs of abuse and neglect and how they can help. It’s Not Right! is aimed at community members, while Gatekeeper is geared toward people who have regular contact with seniors or vulnerable adults. Seniors First BC works to prevent elder abuse and provide assistance and support to seniors who are being abused, or at risk of being abused. Seniors First BC provides direct assistance to seniors, and also assists agencies, health professionals, first responders, neighbours, landlords, businesses and the general public with information about how to prevent elder abuse.

Since 2009, tens of thousands of seniors and the people who care about them have reached out to SAIL. “Our staff, who answer SAIL, are trained to provide a listening, non-judgmental and supportive ear,” said Sarah Khan, acting executive director and clinic lawyer with Seniors First BC “SAIL staff will refer callers with legal issues to our legal staff, and will refer victims of abuse or family and sexual violence to our Victim Services Program.” According to the Government of Canada, one in five Canadians believes they know of a senior who might be experiencing some form of abuse. Seniors from all walks of life are vulnerable

to elder abuse. “Elder abuse is any action by someone in a relationship of trust that results in harm or distress to an older person. Neglect is a lack of action by that person in a relationship of trust with the same result. Commonly recognized types of elder abuse include physical, psychological and financial. Often, more than one type of abuse occurs at the same time,” states the government’s website. “Abuse can be a single incident or a repeated pattern of behaviour.” According to the federal government, older adults affected by abuse often know and trust the person mistreating them. Elder abuse can be caused by a family member, a friend, someone who provides assistance with basic needs or services, or health care providers in institutional settings. In many situations of elder abuse, the abuser is dependent on the older adult for money, food or shelter.

Seniors want to stay put: poll

Survey says 65-plus folks want to stay in their home for retirement Joannah Connolly

editorial@burnabynow.com

Having seniors and empty-nesters downsizing to smaller homes is crucial for the health of a real estate market – but it seems more and more retirees want to stay put in their family homes. According to a new Ipsos poll, which surveyed Canadian homeowners of all ages, 93 per cent of those aged 65 or over felt it was very or somewhat important for them to stay in their current home through retirement. The 65-plus age group was found to be much more likely than younger homeowners to feel that way, as

only half of respondents aged 25 to 34 (55 per cent) said it would be important for them to stay in their home through retirement. The desire to stay put through their senior years increased among the age groups, at 68 per cent among those aged 35 to 44, 74 per cent for 45- to 54-year-olds and 79 per cent among the 55 to 64 cohort. This trend could affect younger and move-up homebuyers, as emptynesters downsizing and freeing up a supply of larger homes creates an essential cycle of properties through the housing market. With fewer and fewer single-family homes being built in cities in Metro Vancouver, the current buyer’s mar-

ket for detached homes in the region could be short-lived if this continues. Ipsos found that one in four homeowners aged 75-plus have been approached by a realtor about whether they want to consider selling their home.This number drops to 17 per cent of homeowners aged 55 and over. The report said, “Regionally, realtors appear to be most active in Ontario. ... Homeowners aged 55-plus in other regions are less likely to have been approached, including in British Columbia (19 per cent).” – Glacier Media Real Estate

Tony Parsons Speaks Out About Hearing Loss –– as told by Tony Parsons, former news anchor

As though on cue with National Hearing Awareness month in Canada, Tony Parsons stepped out of retirement to become the official voice for NexGen Hearing, a BC hearing aid retailer with 50 clinics in the province. Tony’s story is an interesting one.

device jammed in one ear so I could stay in touch with the director of my nightly newscast. Maybe that had something to do with my hearing issue, one I steadfastly denied. I’ve also learned about NexGen Hearing and what makes them different, as they have an established purpose to go far beyond just product sales. They truly care about people and their quality of life. That’s rare!

Tony Parsons: a lesson worth hearing

Sincethen,I’vecometoknowabouttheeducational side of their business and the information and support they can and do provide. I have since been approached by Marke Hambley, President of NexGenHearing,askingthatIconsideraroleinthe company. Today, I am delighted to say that I have committed to speaking out about hearing loss as the official spokesperson for NexGen Hearing and the Hear 4U Foundation. The first commercial endorsement I have ever accepted, I might add!

Like so many other seniors, I’ve admittedly been reluctant to acknowledge the shortcomings that go with the aging process. You know what we’re like, after all we hear just fine! It’s not our fault if everyone else mumbles. I hear what I want to hear and that’s good enough for me. That’s when some friends convinced me to try the free hearing test at NexGen Hearing in Kelowna. Audiologist Colin VanBergen and his team made the whole experience a pleasure and after the test I came to know that I do indeed have a rather significant problem with my hearing. Since then, I have seen an ENT surgeon and have gradually obtained knowledge. Both hearing professionals have patiently schooled me on some of the aspects of my hearing loss. Today I’m now wearing hearing aids and yes, I admit now that I needed them years ago. Consonants and I are becoming friends again and oddly enough…my wife doesn’t seem to mumble any more! Much to my surprise they are so helpful, discrete and quite comfortable. I spent years and years as a broadcaster with a hearing

Another rescue mission and thankfully no damage! How would I explain that to my Audiologist!? So considering that 1 in 4 Canadians suffer some form of hearing loss, I urge you to not delay as I did. Call NexGen Hearing and take advantage of their free Hearing Test!

The dog ate my hearing aids Oh, and by the way, I’ve become so comfortable wearing my new hearing aids that recently I stepped into the shower still wearing them. Yikes! I realized it just in time, and yanked them back to safety. Then I came close to losing them again. I had carelessly left them on a small table near the TV that I was watching and much to my horror Morley, one of my dogs, tried to make a meal of them.

Here are 10 ways to get better at the barbecue Chef Dez

ON COOKING editorial@burnabynow.com

If you haven’t dusted off your outdoor grill yet, you are missing out on a flavourful lifestyle. So, in honour of the kings and queens of the backyard barbecue, the ones who struggle with it, and everyone in between, I give you my top 10 barbecuing tips. 1. CHARCOAL This is my number 1 tip. Cooking with this natural fuel of carbonized wood adds such a depth of flavour to everything from burgers to desserts. I am not talking manufactured, squareshaped “briquettes” here – I am talking about lump charcoal. 2. INTERNAL MEAT THERMOMETER Use one.This is the only way to accurately prevent overcooking or undercooking any piece of meat. 3. SPARE THE SAUCE If you slather on barbecue sauce before your meat is cooked, the high sugar content in these sauces will burn. Sauces are meant to be glazes at the end of cooking.When your food is about a minute or two from being done, spread some sauce on, close the lid and let it glaze onto your food. 4. NEVER CLEAN YOUR GRILL Now when I say “grill” I am talking about your cooking grate/grid.The worst

thing you can do is take your grid to the sink and scrub it down with soapy water. All you need to do is take a grill brush to it when it is hot to knock off any food residue.This will help to keep your grid seasoned and non-stick.

5. ALWAYS PREHEAT Ensuring your grill is extremely hot will not only burn off any residual food bits from your last cookout, it will also guarantee great crust formation (and grill lines) on your food. 6. OIL THE MEAT Oiling the meat in advance will not only help to enhance the crusting process (and the resulting increase in flavour), it will also assist in creating a non-stick environment. I always oil the meat before seasoning with salt and pepper just prior to going onto a preheated grill. If you are fully coating with a dry rub, oiling won’t be necessary and the dry rub will help prevent sticking. 7. OIL THE GRATES/GRIDS This tip is more for delicate pieces of meat or fish. In combination with oiling the meat, this will also help in flavour creation and ease of release.This should be done with an oil that has a high smoke point.This is not an application for your extra virgin olive oil. Grapeseed oil would be perfect, but a canola or vegetable oil will work fine. Oiling the grates/grids, however, should be done once they have been preheated. Protecting your hand with

a grill mitt, dab some oil on a cloth and quickly, but efficiently, wipe down the hot grills. Be careful not to have the cloth soaking with oil to the point that it would cause flare-ups.

8. LEAVE IT ALONE Once the meat is on the grill, the worst thing you can do is to prematurely break that contact of meat with grill. Even with following the above rules religiously, the meat will stick – at first. Leaving it alone allows it to create a crust (grill marks), helping to release it from the cooking surface. If you are following the rules above and your meat is stuck to the grill, chances are it is trying to tell you that it is not ready to be flipped yet. 9. BRINE Brining can help protect light-meat poultry and lean pork.This is a technique that involves soaking in a salt-water solution prior to cooking. Not only does this add moisture to the centre of the meat, but also seasoning. A simple brining formula would be one-quarter cup of salt dissolved in four cups of water for pieces of poultry or lean pork. Let the meat sit in the brine for one hour in the refrigerator. Remove from the brine, pat them dry, and cook. 10. TRY SOMETHING NEW This may be the best piece of advice. Let’s break away from the old standbys of hamburgers and hot dogs and try something new and different. See www.chefdez.com.

Lakers sunk on loss, Nanaimo win

Burnaby unable to repeat as regular season champions after losing playoff chase This year’s Burnaby Lakers are not your last year’s Lakers. And like your dad’s Oldsmobile, won’t be running much longer. The defending Western Lacrosse Association regular season champions won’t be repeating, nor will they be competing when the season ends next week. Burnaby’s chase for one of the league’s four playoff berths was officially squelched this weekend when the club was mathematically eliminated, thanks to the Nanaimo Timbermen’s 11-6 win over Coquitlam on Sunday. That, along with the Lakers’ 13-12 over-

time loss to New West last Thursday, leaves the squad searching for answers and golf tee times, and outside the WLA playoff picture. Although the Lakers did edge the Langley Thunder 16-14 on Friday, thanks to a third-period rally, Burnaby needed Nanaimo to get nothing more than a tie over its final few games. Unfortunately for the Lakers, the upstart T-men ended a 10-year-long playoff drought with their triumph last Sunday, locking Burnaby in fifth place. In the Lakers’ win over the Thunder, Burnaby trailed 14-11 with 12 minutes left in the third but stormed back on the strength of

five unanswered goals. Brandon Luitwieler and Nik Bilic sandwiched goals around three straight goals by Robert Church. Church ended the game with six goals and two assists, while Dane Stevens and Luitwieler cashed in two apiece. Eric Penney entered the contest after Langley’s 14th goal and turned aside all seven shots he faced to pick up the win, improving Burnaby’s record to 6-9-1, but a far cry from last season’s 12-5-1 mark. The Lakers visit Langley tonight (Wednesday, 7:30 p.m.) and end the season Saturday in Nanaimo.

It was a breakthrough victory for a perennial contender at the 39th annual Nations Cup. Team Africa won the men’s Open Division title for the first time since 1995 – capping a perfect five-game run with a 5-1 victory over Canada Sunday at the annual summer soccer showcase in Richmond. Led by netminder Miguel Hof, Africa – with players of African heritage – stymied the Canadians despite the host team holding an overall edge in possession. Hof produced a couple of brilliant stops when the match was still very much up for grabs and a lethal transition game spirited the Africa team to the title. The squad, composed of players from the Burnaby-based Kotoko FC of the Multicultural Soccer League, enjoyed a well-deserved breakthrough after years of being on the cusp at the Nations tourney. “They’ve had some unlucky results the last couple of years where they looked like they could be very competitive,” said Nations Cup president Jeff Wilson. “They can look really, really good and always put on an exciting and compelling game with the way they play.” Africa opened the scoring early on a free kick, then added another soon after. Supplying the offence were Nicolas Budisa,Yassin Essa, Robert Giezen, Edris Najm and Jake Starhiem. It was a frustrating night for a Canadian team that had ended India’s sixyear run as a finalist hours earlier. The “host” country was trying to win its first Nations Cup since 2004. “Canada is another team that has been a bit unlucky over the years.They usually have a really good pool of university players,” continued Wilson. Africa’s Giezen and Brendan Skinner picked up the Most Outstanding Player and Top Defender awards.

Burnaby athletes shine at Games Dan Olson

The Fraser River Zone 4 foursome proved to be dynamos on the track last week. The team of Burnaby’s Taya Batiste and Surrey’s Estella Mainella, Charity Obazughanwen and Laysha Tunti crossed the finish line first in a time of 49.82 seconds to claim the 4x100 metre girls relay at the B.C. Summer Games last week in Duncan. They edged the Vancou-

ver Island-Central Coast quartet by just a fraction over a second. The Burnaby South student also finished fourth overall in the 100m event. Nearly two months ago Batiste posted the best time for a junior at the B.C. High School track and field championships in the 100m. Synchronized swimmer Naomi Madokoro also returned home with gold, in the 13-15 figures competition. St.Thomas More student Katelyn Stewart-Bar-

nett would collect a pair of firsts, topping the 1500m steeplechase and the 2000m distance race. She’d also secured bronze in the high jump. Other Burnaby medallists from the Games were Harry Colhoun, picking up silver in the boys kayak 500m event, Henry Ruckman-Utting, with silver in the 1500m steeplechase, Owen Blackwell, who scored bronze in equestrian dressage competition, Teagan Robertson, who finished third in boys 10-

13 wakeboarding, Malaina Sidhu, third overall in girls golf, Shayla Thom, third in girls 500m kayak, and Kiran Wanniarachichi, third in boys high jump. Other top-five results include Brandon Hsu, fourth in the boys 200m; Lucas Herold, fifth in shotput; and Allyson Wong, fifth in 100m freestyle swimming. The zone finished second overall in the final medal tally, counting 127, including 41 gold. In first place was the host Island team with 145.

Burnaby bucks trend of plummeting Lower Mainland presales The rate at which presale condos and townhomes are being snapped up has plummeted across Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley – but Burnaby is bucking that trend, according to a July 18 report by a real estate marketing company. MLA Advisory, the research arm of marketing firm MLA Canada, said in its mid-year report that the absorption rate of newly released presale units in June 2018 across the Lower Mainland was just 50 per cent, compared with 94 per cent in January this year. The monthly absorption rate is the proportion of units that are both released and sold within that month. Overall, from January to June inclusive, 74 per cent of the 7,753 presale unit released in the Lower Mainland were sold. However, the pace of sales is slowing, with 79 per cent sales in 2018’s first quarter, and 69 per cent in Q2.

But in Burnaby, the presale rate was much higher than the region’s overall figure. In Burnaby North, which is seeing unprecedented levels of residential development at Brentwood and Lougheed, had a January-June sold rate of 91 per cent, out of nearly 1,600 new homes released. Most of these units were concrete condos in Brentwood, according to MLA.. Burnaby South also saw high absorption rates at 84 per cent of 425 released homes sold in January to June, mostly in Metrotown. GOOD NEWS FOR BUYERS MLA said the region’s overall more modest pace of sales was good news for homebuyers and the industry. “The current pre-sale landscape is shifting from its once unsustainable, hyperactive growth to a balanced, more normal market,” said Suzana

Goncalves, chief advisory officer and partner at MLA Canada. “This is good news for everyone to ensure more modest and realistic price growth, more choice for consumers and the need for higher quality product from the industry. The economic fundamentals including low interest rates, steady employment landscape, and continued demand to move to our sought-after city will allow for a steady shift into a balanced market.” Looking to the second half of 2018, MLA is expecting to see 67 project launches with more than 7,700 new homes – around the same amount as in the first six months of the year. North Vancouver is forecast to be the most active market in the Lower Mainland in the second half, with nearly 1,500 new presale homes expected to be released.

ELLIOTT, Sydney December 28, 1926 - July 13, 2018 It is with great sadness, we announce the passing of Sydney Elliott on Friday, July 13, 2018 at the age of 91. Sydney was predeceased by his wife, Dorothy (Dot), of 67 years. Syd was very proud of his family and is survived and will be dearly missed by his loving children, Jackie (Tom), Jan (Bill), Marion (Brian) and Colin, along with 5 grandchildren, Jeff (Emily), Tony, Chris (Jessa), Matt (Jennifer & Logan), Melinda (Jess) and his 2 great grandsons, Liam and Elliott. Syd will also be missed by long-time friends, Rinky and Chris and the whole Kelly family. Dad’s hobbies were coaching and refereeing soccer in North Delta and his love of music was a big part of his life, where you would always find him tinkling on the piano. Dad had a long career as a welder and he was especially proud of one of his last projects, The Alex Fraser Bridge. Rest in Peace Dad.
