Woman dies after being swept away by creek in Squamish Burnaby hiker was just trying to cool down A Burnaby woman died Sunday after she was swept away by fast-moving water in Rubble Creek in Garibaldi Lake Provincial Park near Squamish.

RCMP say a 27-year-old man from Surrey and a 23-year-old woman from Burnaby were hiking in the area and decided to cool down in Rubble Creek.

“The man was able to get himself safely to shore with minor injuries, but unfortunately the woman was carried away in the extreme current,” said Cpl. Sascha Banks in a news release.

John Howe, acting manager of Squamish Search and Rescue, told Glacier Media that rescuers managed to spot the woman’s body during an aerial search later in the day. He added that Rubble Creek can be a dangerous area.

“Rubble Creek is not an appropriate place to go swimming,” he said. “That’s not a safe area. I think that needs to be stressed.”

RCMP say the woman was found about 800 metres downstream from where she fell in.

“Squamish RCMP as well as the Search and Rescue teams from the Squamish area have seen far too many tragic incidents over the past few months,” said Banks. “We want people to come and see our beautiful area and explore, but you need to be aware, to be prepared, to be educated, to be safe, and to understand the fast-moving waters in this region. Be knowledgeable about undercurrents, rocks, snow and glacier-fed waters, and if you don’t know ... ask those who do.”

The last few months have seen a number of accidents in the Squamish area. Among the most high-profile was the death of three travel bloggers at Shannon Falls. A man also went missing on Mother’s Day after being swept into the Squamish-Ashlu River.

The BC Coroners Service has taken over the investigation.The woman’s name hasn’t been released.

Gordic family airs grief at court hearing

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

“None of us are hateful people, and we know that our anger is harming us, but we cannot escape it.”

With those words, an aunt of Burnaby teen Luka Gordic seemed to sum up the anguish that has consumed his large, tight-knit Italian-Serbian family since he was swarmed by a group of youths and stabbed to death inWhistler three years ago.

About 30 family members and friends were in B.C. Supreme Court inVancouver Friday to present victim impact statements.

Pain, anger and bitterness flashed out in their words, as two young men found guilty of manslaughter in Luka’s death, and one convicted of second-degree murder, sat in a glassed-in dock with downcast eyes.

Outside of the courtroom, Luka’s mother, Clara, ran a finger across her throat when asked what she would ultimately like to have happen to the men responsible for her son’s death.

“That’s the ultimate,” she told the NOW. “What else?You know how they say ‘fair’? There’s nothing fair.

There’s no true justice.You can’t just snap your fingers and Luka comes back. … I want them to hurt. I want them to envision what they did, like all the details that came out in court. I want

them to truly look within themselves and really think back and don’t deny what they did. I want them to remember, just like I do.”

SPECIAL FROM THE START Luka was special right from the start, family and friends told the court.

His mother had decided not to have any more kids after his older brothers and sister were born and chose to have surgery accordingly. Later, though, she had a change of heart, according to Luka’s auntYadranka Gordic.

Doctors told Clara she’d have little chance of becoming pregnant again after reversing her initial surgery.

But against the odds, she conceived.

“From the moment he was born, we all knew that Luka was special,” his aunt said.

On May 17, 2015, however, just 15 days after his 19th birthday, this same aunt got a call from Luka’s mother that she relives each time she goes to sleep, according to her victim impact statement.

“The sound that I heard come from the receiver has haunted me ever since,” she said of that 2:30 a.m. phone call. “The piercing agony and despair in Clara’s scream was like nothing I had ever heard before.”

Clara had gotten a call earlier that night, telling her and her husband, Mitch,

in Daniela Gordic told the court how she had run into Luka inWhistler on the night of his death.

He kissed her on the head and told her to be safe. A few hours later, at theWhistler RCMP detachment, an officer told her he was dead.

“I live in regret every single day knowing that I was up inWhistler and let Luka die alone,” she told the court. “I’m sick to my stomach knowing his last moment and breath was spent lying in a pool of blood … I don’t want to be happy anymore.”

SPECIAL SON: Luka Gordic’s mom, Clara, holds his photo Friday. PHOTO CORNELIA NAYLOR that their son, who had been inWhistler for a fun May long weekend getaway, had been hurt.

Rushing up to the village, the pair got a second call when they were about 10 minutes away informing them that Luka – the baby of the family – was dead.

“Mitch and I were hysterical,” Clara said. “I remember us screaming and crying.”

Police, however, would not let them see their son that night, and they drove back to Burnaby with Clara weeping and clutching a pillow all the way home.

When they were finally allowed to see Luka in the morgue of a Burnaby funeral home two weeks later, Clara said she held his body and wept over him for more than two hours.

“I wanted to bring a picture of Luka’s dead body to remind you of all what you did to him – but that wasn’t permitted,” said Clara, glaring at the young men facing her from a glass dock.

All three were 17 the night Luka was killed, so their identities are protected. All three had been close enough to the slain 19-yearold to get blood on their

shoes and clothes when he was swarmed by about 10 teenagers outside a 7-Eleven and stabbed to death.

THE VERY BEST OF US From the statements of aunts, uncles, cousins, siblings, grandparents and friends, a picture emerged of Luka as a fun-loving, affectionate young man full of life, whose violent death has covered his family in a “dark blanket of depression.”

“The person we lost was the very best of us,” uncle Mike Gordic said simply.

Sobs could be heard from the gallery as Luka’s cous-

A PETTY DISPUTE The victim impact statements wrapped up a complicated sentencing hearing.

All that remains now is for Justice Clarence Schultes to decide whether he will sentence the young men as adults – something the prosecution has argued for – and what the sentences will be. A date will be set early this month for a decision on the sentence. If sentenced as an adult, the man convicted of second-degree murder in Luka’s death faces a mandatory life sentence with no chance of parole for seven years.

A fourth man, Arvin Golic, who was 18 at the time of the killing and has already been sentenced for his role, instigated the deadly swarming attack on Luka over a petty dispute between the two young men.

Protesting seniors handed seven-day sentences Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Senior citizens must be deterred from interfering with the expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline, according to a Crown lawyer who successfully argued for two women over the age of 65 to be jailed for violating an injunction protecting Kinder Morgan’s work in Burnaby.

On Tuesday, Crown prosecutor Monte Rattan called on Supreme Court Justice Kenneth Affleck to impose the full seven-day jail sentence on Laurie Embree and Constance Lasheras for their protests in Burnaby.

Embree, a 70-year-old grandmother from 108 Mile Ranch, will spend the next seven days in jail for refusing to get off the road leading to the company’s Westridge Marine Terminal

on June 19.

Lasheras, a Langley resident who was one of eight people arrested at the Trans Mountain tank farm on June 30, was also sentenced to seven days in jail but will serve her term intermittently to allow her to continue

working with a non-profit supporting families of children with fetal alcohol syndrome. Lasheras was identified in court as being older than 65.

Embree appeared in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver and pleaded guilty to

breaking a court injunction that bans anti-pipeline protesters from blocking access to Trans Mountain facilities.

Embree was the first protester to be arrested after Affleck approved a beefedup injunction at the beginning of June.

Prosecutors have been seeking increasingly more hours of community service and higher fines – up to $5,000 – for violators, as they try to increase deterrence.

Rattan said the consequences for violating the injunction must continue to increase as protesters are undeterred. He said seniors in particular must be deterred from engaging in contempt of court, as they have made up a large contingent of people violating the injunction.

“The older population of otherwise good stand-

ing in the community, without a criminal record, is the population that must be deterred,” Rattan said, prompting laughter from the gallery filled with supporters of the protesters.

Embree said she accepted the facts presented at trial but asked to make a statement.

“I have lived my 70 years by abiding the law. Please allow me to explain why I have now chosen to break one,” Embree told the court.

“If we look back on our history, there have been many times when our laws have supported injustices,” she said, citing slavery in the U.S., child labour in the U.K. and Canadian residential schools. “I truly believe that when we have laws that support injustice, it is the duty of all good men and women to stand up and

challenge those laws.”

In his ruling, Affleck said Embree and Lasheras clearly knew they were violating the injunction and breaking the law when they were arrested. He said there was a clear difference between them and other protesters who protested lawfully.

“Although the number of arrests have declined as the months have gone by, I have no confidence that there will be no further organized defiance of the injunction,” he said.

One of the protesters’ supporters, Owen Finn, called the day’s proceedings a “debasement of the legal system.”

“One of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever heard in a court of law: that maybe the judge should target seniors for being dangerous people to the community,” he said.

Assistant fire chief resigns Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

An assistant chief with the Burnaby Fire Department abruptly retired July 25 to avoid disciplinary action after he was questioned for possible “insubordination” related to the “sacred fire” at Camp Cloud.

On July 19, Bryan Kirk told Camp Cloud protester Kwitsel Tatel (who also goes by Patricia Kelly) in a phone call that he might not obey orders if he were told to extinguish the camp’s ceremonial fire, which burns continuously.

Tatel had called the fire department after hearing firefighters might douse it the next morning at the deadline of the City of Burnaby’s eviction notice – given on July 18.

“There’s no way we would do that,” Kirk is heard telling Tatel on the phone in a video recorded by a reporter with the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network and posted to Twitter.

“Even if I was told to do it, I still might not do it,”

Kirk is heard telling Tatel.

“I’m not up there, but I’m so supportive of you guys for doing that. Hell, let’s face it, it’s easier to go home at the end of the day than stay in a camp, so you guys are making sacrifices.”

Kirk told the NOW in an interview Thursday that he knew he was being recorded at the time and had given consent.

Kirk said he was summoned to a meeting Wednesday morning with the city’s director of public safety and community services, Dave Critchley.

The fire chief, Joe Robertson, and Kirk’s union representatives were also present, he said.

The 30-minute meeting began with a reading of the transcript of the phone conversation, Kirk said.

“I just kind of owned it and said ‘Yeah, it wasn’t my best moment, and I regret it,’” Kirk said.

Kirk said no disciplinary action was discussed at the meeting.

“I would have to be a fool to think it wasn’t coming,” he said.

Almost as soon as the meeting was over, Kirk said he decided to retire and told the city of his intentions.

“It’s a good thing I did because I was apparently in line for the heaviest suspension ever levied in the history of the Burnaby fire department,” he said.

Kirk said he only heard a rumour about the anticipated suspension.

More than 36 years into his firefighting career and months away from his 60th birthday, Kirk said it was time to move on. He said he was also worried about losing his retirement benefits.

“So I might as well hang them up,” he said.

Kirk said he still remains supportive of the Camp Cloud protesters, who have spent months at the side of Shellmont Street on Burnaby Mountain as a protest against Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project.

He said he hasn’t changed his mind about his desire to allow the sacred fire to remain.

“I still stand by that … In my estimation, it (the fire)

wasn’t posing a huge problem.”

Burnaby city manager Lambert Chu said he would not comment about any disciplinary action that would have been taken against Kirk had he not retired.

“I don’t want to go into a hypothetical situation,” Chu said.

Chu also said the Wednesday morning meeting did not address any possible suspension.

The city manager did, however, confirm the meeting was called to address Kirk’s comments to Tatel.

“That’s their private conversation, and I just feel that Mr. Kirk’s response was inappropriate, and that’s all I can say,” he said. “That’s clearly insubordination, so that’s the inappropriateness.”

Chu would not say whether he thought Kirk’s retirement was connected to the meeting and potential repercussions.

“I think he has just decided that it’s time for him to enjoy another chapter of his life,” Chu said.

It’s about time Burnaby flew the pride flag

An email landed in the editor’s inbox the other day with a not-so-simple question.

“Why is the rainbow flag going to be flying at Burnaby City Hall?”

The emailer then proceeded to say that, if the pride flag is allowed to be flown at city hall, then every other “special interest” and religious group will demand that their flag be flown.

“Where will it end?”

Now, there’s a lot to unpack here, but we’re going to give it a try.

First, as background, last week city council passed a

motion to raise the pride flag from Aug. 9 to 13. It also agreed to provide a $3,400 grant to the organizers of an Aug. 11 street party that is set to take place in Burnaby on Jubilee Avenue.This will be Burnaby’s first-ever official LGBTQ pride event.The flag is being flown due to a request by a gay Burnaby resident.

Putting aside why it took a request for the city to fly the flag – instead of showing leadership and support by flying it without being prompted – it’s still a good thing for the city to do.

Secondly, LGBTQ peo-

ple are not a “special interest” group.This is not their “interest” – like choosing hunting as a hobby or a group of building contractors lobbying government to change union rules – this is who they are as human beings.

Unlike people in religious groups, who choose to believe something, LGBTQ people are born who they are. It’s not a lifestyle choice or a fad they are trying out to see if they like it.

Some have come late to expressing who they truly are as people, but that’s because they’ve been too afraid of

discrimination.

It’s that discrimination that brings us to point three – the real reason why the pride flags are flown.The word “pride” is a counterpoint to all the hate faced by members of the LGBTQ community.

For too long, LGBTQ people had to hide in the shadows because who they were was illegal. One the world’s greatest scientists, Alan Turing, was chemically castrated in England in 1952 for being gay.

Closer to home,Toronto police once executed a nasty bit of policing called

“Operation Soap” – which involved raiding a series of bathhouses frequented by gay men.

That was only in 1981!

Apart from police harassment, there’s the violence faced by LGBTQ people.

One term used is “gay bashing,” and it still goes on.

And then there’s the vandalism. Just in the last six weeks, two new rainbow crosswalks in Surrey and Salmon Arm were both defaced by hateful idiots right after they were unveiled.

The same happened in New Westminster in 2015 and Fort Langley in 2017. And

just last Friday, only one day after it was painted by a group of children, somebody defaced some rainbow steps in Richmond.

So pride, the crosswalks and the flags are all an answer to this hate. It says that LGBTQ people will no longer hide who they truly are. And when local governments fly the rainbow flag, it’s a sign of solidarity.

It says this kind of discrimination is not welcome in our city.

This isn’t anything new, of course. It feels ridiculous to even have to write this in 2018, but here we are.

New model will cost taxpayers The BC NDP government has made a political calculation that adding hundreds of millions of dollars in costs to public infrastructure projects is a risk worth taking, if that’s what it takes to reward key supporters.

That’s one takeaway from the government’s recent announcement that major projects costing more than $500 million will have to fit into something called a “community benefits agreement.”

The agreement stipulates all workers on such projects must be unionized and paid at set rates that will increase two per cent every year for at least six years.

How much will this cost?

Well, the NDP has said these agreements will add between four and seven per cent in extra costs over original estimates.

The Pattullo Bridge replacement is expected to cost $1.38 billion, but the province says the extra costs are already part of that figure (which is hard to believe, given that same cost estimate was in budget documents in February, long before these agreements were presumably drawn up).

So on those projects alone, the extra costs amount to close to $400 million.

But, given that pretty well all major public infrastructure projects go over budget (hello B.C. Place stadium), the BC NDP is betting this won’t be much of an issue with voters.

And it is a risk the government will take because it is rewarding its construction union supporters rather handsomely, and it is also coming close to implementing a quota system when it comes to hiring on these projects. (The NDP loves social engineering things like quota systems.)

Although no actual numerical targets are included in these agreements, contractors who employ more Indigenous people and women appear to have a better chance at winning contracts to work on these projects.

But these are simply “aspirational goals” (in the words of one government official) and not, as I said, rigid targets.

However, the forced unionization of everyone is rigid.

Thus, the unions (the 19 that the NDP has specified) get to collect a lot more in union dues, and get to control some new funds that will be created by taking 32 cents an hour on behalf of all workers.

Not all of this may make economic sense for the B.C. taxpayer.

However, it may make political sense for a government that is constantly walking a tightrope, trying to balance good public policy against the interests and ideology of its base.

In this case, ideology appears to have won the day.

7-yr-old’s BB gun kills squirrel

Local Mounties were working on a report for city council on firearms laws for minors in October after the city got a letter from a local mom worried about kids playing with BB guns in her neighbourhood. A sevenyear-old friend of the woman’s son had killed a squirrel in the area with a BB gun given to him by his father.

When the woman reported it to police, she was told they wouldn’t enforce anything on the boy’s property unless there was a bylaw in place. She asked council to act and keep streets safer from kids with “irresponsible parents.”

More details needed on council’s housing plan Editor: Re: City signals Metrotown shift, NOW, July 25 Mayor Derek Corrigan and his council’s proposals present as addressing head-on massive rental unit loss to the invasive developments in the Metrotown community. So much so, Murray Martin, ACORN’s spokesperson, was taken to - if only with some necessary skepticism - welcoming Burnaby city council’s initiative of “starting to seriously address the issue of displacement” in the renter sector.

Whatever cautious optimism in response to the ideas of rental-only zoning and “every apartment torn down replaced by a new apartment at similar monthly rent,” however, should now be a boost of more activism to demand that these proposals are not just about quantitative sustenance of the rental housing stock, but demonstrably about replacement of the quality of life disrupted by loss of renters’ homes. We need to hear if the mayor and his council care about where these rentalonly lands are; what kinds of “replacement” apartments are built; convenience of public transit, shopping, schooling and other facilities and amenities of living in a proper community; and then the utmost importance of “similar monthly rent.”

These are the kinds of devil in the details hitherto unknown about these proposals. In other words, these proposals must be pursued by Burnaby city council in the full renter-advocacy spirit. These proposals will miss the mark if they

are about infrastructural numbers only. They must instead be singularly about empowering individuals and families (who have so far been) marginalized and hurt in the real estate development craze - recognized as being fuelled by motives with no evident regard for the physical and social integrity of the Metrotown community, and about the replacement of these folks’ quality of life before they were “demovicted.” Until we know more about these proposals, they are - like Murray Martin was suggesting – (only) civic election campaign rhetorical promises.

Trails in Central Park in need of serious upgrades Editor: As a frequent user of Central Park, I have become concerned about the conditions of the main trails. They have become worn down with embedded rocks sticking out of the surface. I jog there and find the potential to fall has increased over the last couple of years. I personally have fallen and scraped knees and sprained wrists. The main trail behind the tennis courts is especially bad, but they all need to be upgraded. The movie production companies with their equipment have sped up the erosion of the trails, not to mention disturbing park users’ routines jogging, walking and cycling.

I don’t know what they give to Burnaby in return for using the park, but they should reimburse Burnaby for the rehabilitation of the trails before someone falls and breaks some bones.

Man stabbed in Central Park Attack was the second to occur at the park in July

Cornelia Naylor

cnaylor@burnabynow.com

A man was sent to hospital with non-life-threatening stab wounds after another attack in Burnaby’s Central Park last Thursday.

Police were called to an area of the park near the Patterson SkyTrain station at about 8:30 p.m. for reports of a stabbing, according to a Burnaby RCMP press release.

Officers found one 22-year-old man who had been stabbed.

He was rushed to hospital for medical attention.

A large area of the park was behind police tape Thursday night.

Burnaby RCMP are now looking for two men, both between 40 and 45 years old.

The first suspect is described as First Nations and six feet tall with a slim build.

He was wearing a red shirt and blue pants at the time of the attack.

The second man is described as Caucasian with a slim build. He was wearing a white shirt and blue shorts.

“The investigation is still in its early stages, but police believe that this is an isolated occurrence and there is no risk to the public,” Burnaby RCMP Cpl. Daniela Panesar stated in the press release.

On July 15, a man in his

70s was left with what were called “life-altering injuries” after being badly beaten in Central Park.

Anyone with information about the attack Thursday is asked to contact Burnaby RCMP at 604-646-9999.

To remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or www. solvecrime.ca.

New Tap-to-Pay system used one million times Transit users have embraced TransLink’s new Tap-to-Pay system in a big way, according to the transit authority.

Since the introduction of the new pay option on May 22,TransLink says 160,000 unique users have made more than one million contactless payments across the transit system.Tap-to-Pay allows customers to use tapenabled credit cards and mobile wallets to pay their fares – just like compass cards, according to Trans-

Link.

While compass cards still offer transit users the best bang for their bucks,Tapto-Pay is “ideal for occasional riders and tourists – no need to dig around for change or wait at the compass vending machines to purchase a ticket,” according to a press release from TransLink.

“When we make it easier to take transit, everyone wins,” said TransLink CEO Kevin Desmond in the release. “Some of the million

Tap-to-Pay taps over the last two months are from people who might have paid cash.

Some are from people who might not have otherwise used transit.We’re always looking for ways to make transit the most convenient option.”

Accepted Tap-to-Pay payment options include contactless Visa and Mastercards, and Apple Pay, Google Pay or Samsung Pay mobile wallets. Be sure to only tap the card you want to use to avoid card clash.

City now Dialogue urged with city, Camp Cloud Kelvin Gawley

kgawley@burnabynow.com

Tensions have risen sharply on Burnaby Mountain in recent weeks.

Camp Cloud protesters have defied an eviction notice. Area residents have made repeated demands for the encampment to be removed. And an episode last week left a pro-pipeline advocate alleging assault at the hands of a camp member, while protesters claim they were disrespected.

A local group opposed to the expansion of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain expansion project is hoping to step in and help cooler heads prevail.

Gene McGuckin, a member of Burnaby Residents Opposing Kinder Morgan Expansion (BROKE), said he had concerns about “some of the provocative stuff that we’ve started to see happening.”

A member of pro-pipeline group Suits and Boots claims he was assaulted by Camp Cloud residents after he took pictures of their encampment on June 23.

Police are investigating one

protester for assault, but no arrests have been made.

“I guess what we’re doing is counselling, or offering advice that perhaps there are better ways of reacting in an unrestrained way to provocations from the right wing,” McGuckin said.

He said he understands that many Camp Cloud members are Indigenous and carry the weight of Canada’s colonial history of resource extraction without consent.That weight, he said, can lead some to respond more forcefully than needed.

McGuckin said he hopes more dialogue between campers, residents and the city will lead to compromise and less tension.

“We think that there is possibly a better way to build a movement than reacting strongly, but we are not dictating to anybody; we are offering our point of view,” he said.

The City of Burnaby expects to be in court Aug. 10, seeking a court order to enforce its eviction notice given of July 18.

McGuckin said he hopes the two sides can find com-

promise there, as well.

If Camp Cloud comes into compliance with bylaws restricting structures and fires, perhaps it could stay, he said.

Asked if he was confident that would happen, McGuckin said: “I wouldn’t say confident. I’m hopeful.”

But that wish seems unlikely to come true.

“I don’t think anything has changed for us,” said Elauna Boutwell, a Camp Cloud member. “It’s still unceded Coast Salish territory, and we’re asserting that power and right.”

She said the camp is willing to compromise with the city on some issues but wouldn’t specify which ones. She did say the demand to snuff out a ceremonial fire won’t happen.

Burnaby city manager Lambert Chu said the city doesn’t expect any compromise to be reached and it intends to pursue full removal of Camp Cloud. He said the city and protesters had previously agreed to meet and discuss the bylaw compliance issues, but those talks have since fallen through.

Burnaby girls help power choir to world title The British Columbia Girls Choir has taken home an international award with the help of young singers from Burnaby.

The choir won the “Children’s Choir of the World” award this month during the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod in Wales, considered to be one of the most prestigious choral competitions in the world.The group tied with the Hereford Cathedral Girls Choir of England for the award.

It’s an unbelievably good feeling This year, 12 children’s choirs competed from America, Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, England, India, the Isle of Man and Wales.

Seven of the 40 singers in the B.C. Girls Choir are from Burnaby.

Elizabeth Dwan, who attends Burnaby South Secondary, said she was over-

joyed about winning the competition.

“It didn’t hit me until the next day, when I cried with happiness. It’s an unbelievably good feeling, knowing you’re the very best at something,” she said in a press release. “And it takes lots of hard work.We even stopped drinking milk and eating ice cream because it mucks up our vocal chords.”

Ellen Barnette, a 13-yearold student attending Burnaby Mountain Secondary, said she’s enjoyed how much she’s learned from being part of the choir.

“We work best when everyone is listening and paying attention, and because it’s like we are one giant family. I feel so proud about all that we have accomplished,” she said.

Artistic Director Fiona Blackburn said succeeding in the competition required a lot of concentration and hard work.

“The girls have a special bond that comes from weekly rehearsals and a knowledge that they are preparing music that is of the highest quality,” she said. “I love the girls’ commitment

to our art.”

The choir competed in Wales, and spent a week in Scotland at the Stirling Bridge International Festival where they met sing-

ers from USA, Belgium and Germany.The two-week tour wrapped up with a performance in Ireland at the Galway Cathedral.

Secondary grad Annika Guy will continue pursuing her passion for music on a professional level.The others will return to rehearsals in September.

The 40-member choir also won third place in folk song and first in the senior children’s competitions.

Korean War remembered

PHOTO CHRIS CAMPBELL

If you saw somebody walking around with a poppy on their lapel on Friday and wondered why, it was the anniversary of the end of the Korean War in 1953.

To commemorate this moment in history, veterans, dignitaries and family gathered in Burnaby at the Ambassador of Peace Korean War Memorial in Central Park.

The event included a

speech by B.C.’s lieutenant-governor, Janet Austin, who told the crowd that for too long the war was referred to as a “police action” by many.

“This once-forgotten war must never be forgotten,” Austin said.

The event was organized through the Korean War Commemorative Alliance, with tributes in both English and Korean, plus the

laying of wreaths.

A colourful group of children from St. Agnes Kim Korean School led the crowd in the singing of national anthems.

After it was over, a lunch was hosted by Burnaby firefighters.

More than 26,000 Canadians took part in the war under the flag of the United Nations, with more than 500 being killed.

Terry Fox Run seeks volunteers The Burnaby Terry Fox Run wouldn’t be possible without a legion of volunteers.

So why not join that legion and help raise money for cancer research?

Your responsibilities may include recruiting teams, confirming the route, promoting the run and directing certain run-day activities on Sunday, Sept. 16.

Since its first Terry Fox run in 1985, Burnaby has raised $383,000 for the foundation, according to a media release.

Terry Fox has inspired Canadians since his heroic Marathon of Hope in 1980, when he ran a marathon every day for 143 days straight – all with a prosthetic leg.

He was forced to stop short of his goal to run across the country when his

cancer spread, and he died not long after.

But his legacy has grown ever since, as more than $750 million has been raised in his name.

“I’m not a dreamer, and I’m not saying this will initi-

I believe in miracles.

I have to.

Organizer:

ate any kind of definitive answer or cure to cancer, but I believe in miracles. I have to,” Fox once wrote.

Those wishing to volunteer in Burnaby can contact Donna White, the provincial director of the Terry Fox Foundation, at 604-4642666 or donna.white@ terryfoxrun.org.

Businessnow Why more corporate headquarters are good for the city Paul Holden

BURNABY BOARD OF TRADE

A lot of fuss has been made about cities courting corporate headquarters to set up in their communities.

This reached a peak with the continent-wide competition to attract Amazon’s second head office, or HQ2, which saw 20 cities shortlisted.

In Burnaby, the city continues to see new businesses set up shop and existing businesses move operations into our centralized, business-friendly community.Well-served by transit, smartly planned, and home to a diverse and well-educated workforce, Burnaby attracts businesses from across the region, province and world. In fact, two major facilities were announced recently to be moving to our community: Stemcell Tech-

nologies, the country’s largest biotechnology company, and Daiya Foods, a worldleading manufacturer of plant-based foods.

But who cares?

If you don’t work for one of those companies, how does this impact the average Burnabarian? It would be a mistake to miss the significant role corporate headquarters and offices play in the strength of our economy and community.

Relocating businesses make significant investments in improving existing buildings or creating new facilities, in creating well-paying jobs and hiring workers, and in paying taxes and fees to various levels of government. But more important is the exponential economic effect these offices have by creating spin-off benefits for a local economy.

By their very nature, corporate offices and headquarters utilize a variety of ancil-

lary products and services that are sourced from the small and medium businesses in the community around them, including graphic designers, caterers, marketers, lawyers, consultants, facility service providers, and accountants – to name just a few.The money spent on these activities circulates and recirculates through the local economy. As one of the Burnaby Board of Trade’s small business members put it to me recently, to be successful, small businesses need big businesses to buy from them.

Beyond the direct and indirect economic benefits, having corporate headquarters locate in a city is also important symbolically. It serves as a symbol of that community’s vitality and sense of optimism. Importantly, where businesses choose to locate is also noticed by other businesses, as corporate offices operate as

validators to other businesses, confirming that a city is a good home and thus encouraging more businesses to locate there. Burnaby has seen this play out in reality over the past few years, as companies in several key sectors – technology, film and digital media specifically – have chosen to locate here to be near their partners, colleagues and competitors.

This has turned Burnaby into a hub for those sectors.

It is important to point out here that the inverse to all of this is also true – businesses fleeing a city is a sign that something isn’t working and acts as a warning to other companies to stay away.

If you don’t care about businesses moving into your city, I bet you would care if businesses started moving out – boarding up their windows, laying off their workers and littering the landscape with “For Lease”

Boomers are part of the gig economy, too It’s not just millennials who are embracing the gig economy – baby boomers are too, but they don’t necessarily like it.

BMOWealth Management released a report Monday that said more and more baby boomers are turning to contract work because they feel “joining the gig economy is their only

way of making a living.”

The report describes Canada’s labour market shift from permanent employment to on-demand temporary or contractual employment as “the new normal” – and outlines the challenges and opportunities within this so-called “gig economy.”

The Gig Economy:Achiev-

ing FinancialWellness with Confidence is based on a survey of more than 1,000 Canadian small-business owners.They revealed 40 per cent had worked or currently work as self-employed professionals pursuing contract or freelance projectbased careers.

However, most reported that, while contract work of-

fers a level of autonomy, it comes with serious worries, such as 87 per cent of respondents fearing the lack of medical, dental or disability benefits.The report found 57 per cent are concerned about no paid sick days and 57 per cent feel they are not earning enough.

Dodgeball in a nutshell: kill or be killed

School-yard game gaining steam as a sport for grown-ups Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

Mention the word ‘dodgeball,’ and the image may take you back to the horrors of elementary school lunch hours, where it was bean-or-be-beaned time. Or maybe it’s of the Ben Stiller-Vince Vaughn film from 2004 that turned it into a savage parody.

Most of us put the game behind us long ago, just like chicken pox, and may still twitch at the recall of being overwhelmed by a blizzard of melon-shaped missiles sailing in from everywhere.

It’s fair to say Burnaby’s Aska Nakamura has a different take on it.

People say dodgeball is a kids’ game, but it’s so much more.

As a competitor in this weekend’s Western Canadian Dodgeball championships, Nakamura is embracing the idea of knocking her rivals out of the game, in a sport where the battle can end in a fistful of seconds.

“People say dodgeball is just a kids’ game, but it’s so much more,” remarked Nakamura, 26. “I like the pas-

sion of the people who play it. I see it on the court and off the court.”

There’s no time for wincing in the competitive square, and the sport requires some fleet feet to be the last one standing.

Nakamura, at just over five-feet tall, has turned what many view as a disadvantage in the sports world into an edge.

She’s got agility on her side, and when lined up against larger opponents she presents a challenge to hit.

Still, no one is happy to be pummelled by an accurate, for-the-game fatal shot.

“Sometimes there is a huge difference in size,” she said. “Some people have hands the size of my thighs.”

A counsellor in the Burnaby school district, Nakamura first tasted the sport as a child growing up in Japan. It was purely a school activity, but upon moving to the Lower Mainland she searched for events and places where she could meet new people, and dodgeball, for some reason, appealed to her.

“I saw it and I thought it looked like so much fun.

You’d compete and then you’d hang out. It’s a great social sport.”

Teams consist of six players, each with a ball. Avoiding being hit means you can catch your opponent’s throw and fire it right back at them. But time is of the essence because the attrition on the gym floor is quick,

ON THE FIRING LINE: Facing a bevy of shots for the camera, Burnaby’s Aska Nakamura is excited for this week’s Western Canadian championships, where she hopes to help B.C. defend its women’s title from 2017. The tournament is being hosted by Simon Fraser University.

with some games done as quickly as 20-something seconds, and the longer affairs lasting up to five minutes in length.

“We are always striving to introduce new players to the sport, and multiple members of past B.C. provincial teams will be competing with the hope of inspiring more folks to take their

game to the next level,” noted Dodgeball B.C. president Ian Kopp.

With that in mind, the Western Canadians held an open registration that invited players of all levels and experience, and hopes to be a means to attract new players.This is the second year for the western-based tournament, and Nakamu-

ra would love nothing more than to help B.C. defend its women’s title.

The team has been working together and training at BCIT’s gym, so there is a definite serious element to it.

“The first time I played it (as an adult) I didn’t expect people to be so aggressive,” she recalled. “When

you play as a kid you don’t think about tactics or strategies. But that’s a big part of the game here.”

The tournament, which is open to the public, goes Saturday and Sunday, 9 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., with playoffs starting Sunday around 3 p.m. All action is at SFU’s main gym.

Lakers miss the mark, now face long off-season

Burnaby management searches for answers on falling short of the playoffs, and aims to be relevant in 2019 Dan Olson

dolson@burnabynow.com

In a season where injuries and MIA played a big role in their final position, the Burnaby Lakers can put 2018 behind them and focus on other things.

On the heels of Saturday’s 13-5 loss to Nanaimo, the 2018 Western Lacrosse Association regular season has morphed into the annual playoffs, with the defending champions on the outside looking in.

For the players of the 6-11-1 Lakers, the end brings a chance to recover and reset and enjoy the last month of summer.

General manager Kevin Hill, unfortunately, won’t have much time to forget the difficult season,

as he maps a way back into the playoffs.

“This year was a pretty difficult year for us,” said Hill, following last week’s loss in Langley. “Going into the year we felt we’d have a lot of guys coming back and then at the last minute we had guys say they’re not going to play.”

Pluck the likes of an all-star Justin Salt, scoring standout Josh Byrne, defender Matt Beers, transition whiz Jackson Decker and one of the top rookies of 2017 in Cam Milligan from a talented lineup and suddenly depth at both ends of the floor is an issue.

Byrne, Beers, Decker and Milligan were players who never suited up, while Salt arrived late after the National Lacrosse League season ended, then was knocked out of

commission in early July.

A run to the NLL final kept last year’s MVP, Robert Church, and defender Nik Bilic out of the lineup until midway through the year.

Starting goalie Eric Penney missed a month with a concussion.

Head coach Peter Tellis, who took over the helm late last season, was forced to re-write the lineup sheet and get use to a revolving door. And when four of your losses come in overtime, questions of endurance, strategy and killer instinct seem relevant.

On the good side, some players stepped into roles or improved on past trends, with veteran Dane Stevens and netminder Zak Boychuk setting great examples for others to follow, said Hill.

Stevens enjoyed a career-like

year with 27 goals, while Eli McLaughlin barely skipped a beat in leading the team offensively with 36 markers. Scott Jones, Shaun Dhaliwal and Church, who contributed 19 goals over just seven games, battled against the tide on too many nights.

Then there were a host of new recruits, like Albertans Brandon Luitwieler and Tristan Rai and 2018 draft pick Brine Rice, who showed that they can be part of the solution going forward, if the team can get them to re-commit.

The spoils of such a sad season comes in owning the second pick overall in the 2019 WLA draft.

That’s something that gives Hill a chance to supplement his roster.

But to contend for a 2019 Mann Cup berth, the club could

speed up the process by targeting standout Mark Matthews for the coming year. Having paid a steep price to acquire his WLA rights in 2017, now’s the time to fish or cut bait – to either pile up the cash, in transfer and out-of-pocket expenses, to lure the standout boxla player west, or deal his playing rig a ‘going-for-it’ game plan.

As an NLL teammate with Bilic and Church, Matthews would be an instant attention getter and signal to all the others that Burnaby is all in.

“We’re going to explore all avenues when it comes to players and getting this team back into the playoffs, and hopefully in Mann Cup contention, whether it be Matthews or whoever,” Hill said.

The team, which included Burnaby’s Joshua Gabriele, Ian Gee, Ryan Nagy, Tayler Nellis and Marc Rippberger, and from New Westminster Daunte Twamley, Nolan Rigazzi and Benjamin Soenen, returned home triumphant as part of a huge Zone 4 medal haul.

There was more gold, from the pool this time, as two members of the 1315 team topped the synchronized swimming event.

Burnaby’s Nia Draganova and Naomi Madokoro joined forces with three TriCities swimmers to cart off first place. Madokoro would do the same in the 13-15 duet event, taking gold.

When it came to the court system, the boys volleyball squad served notice en route to the top prize.

The team includes a trio of Burnaby athletes – Austin Ipince, Anthony Perera and Jared Prinsloo.

On the sand, Burnaby’s

Martin Pinsloo was part of a two-man gold medal machine, winning the beach volleyball event. In the girls division, Francesca Sandini scooped up a bronze with her Surrey partner.

The girls soccer team representing Zone 4 pushed it right to the final whistle, bringing home silver.

The squad, which included Burnaby’s Madeleine Burkett, Isabella Chirico, Adriana Daeconceiao, Stephanie Lim and Chelsea Yang, and New West’s Monika Arcadi, Sophie Crowther and Emma Pollard, were undefeated until the final, where they fell 3-0 to the Island host squad.

The boys soccer team returned with the same result, finishing second overall.The squad included Burnaby’s Benoit Lutz.

Burnaby’s Makaila John and New West’s Willow Beyea were on-field sparks for the zone’s bronze medal result in girls rugby.

Scoring silver in the two-

girl kayak 500 metres were New West’s Lauren Ko and Burnaby’s Shayla Thom.

The duo of New West’s Sara Pollard and Ko joined two others to take bronze in open women’s C4 (canoe) 500m, while Pollard added two other bronze, in open mixed K4 (kayak 500m) and open mixed C4 (canoe 500m).

Harry Colhoun of Burnaby was in on a pair of boys K-2 bronze medal winners, in the 500m and 2000m open.The mixed four-person kayak 500m team, with Colhoun, Pollard and Thom, finished third.

In rowing, Burnaby’s Jaxon Bailey was half of the team that picked up bronze in the skills competition.

Boomers’ purchasing power ‘inflating’ cabin prices in recreational hotspots The deep pockets of Canadian baby boomers are “driving and inflating” the price of recreational real estate in vacation hotspots across Canada, not least in B.C., according to the latest Re/Max Recreational Property Report.

A survey of Re/Max agents in popular recreational areas showed that retirees are driving the demand for vacation cabins in 91 per cent of the hotspots examined, and that 78 per cent of those areas are seeing price rises.

Across British Columbia, recreational properties saw an annual price increase of 19 per cent. But this varies hugely within different regions.

The median price of a waterfront cabin in Tofino, where the proposed speculation tax will not be payable, increased by a staggering 112 per cent, more than doubling from spring 2017’s $659,000 to $1.4 million in 2018.

Gary Paul 778.828.7476 E: gary@garypaul.ca garypaul.ca

However, local Re/Max agent Judy Gray was quick to point out that Tofino is such a small market, “the numbers get skewed.”

Gray said in a phone interview, “Prices are up, but not by those extremes. It’s because of a lack of high-end inventory a year ago but this year we’ve had some high-end waterfront inventory.”

Ski cabins in Sun Peaks, which is also unaffected

by B.C.’s speculation tax, saw a year-over-year increase of 34 per cent, “due to its services and schooling attracting retirees and families,” according to the report.

Speculation tax or inventory?

On the flip side, in Kelowna, where B.C.’s speculation tax will apply, the median cost of a waterfront property fell by a full 25 per cent from last year’s $980,000 to $735,000 this year. But according to a

local agent, this is little to do with the planned tax.

Jerry Redman, the owner of Re/Max Kelowna who supplied the local stats for the report, told Glacier Media, “It’s a misleading figure, unfortunately. The speculation tax probably played a small part in this, but that [median price] figure is mostly to do with a higher number of waterfront condos being sold versus detached houses the previous year. A lot of condo inventory that was new and sold 10 or so years ago is coming back on the market. In fact, we’ve seen higher sales figures this year, since the speculation tax was announced, which was the reverse of what we expected.”

He added, “However, the speculation tax has caused angst to a lot of existing owners, who may be motivated to sell now, if it was the time to move on anyways.”

SKELTON, Emily Carol (nee Einarson) May 21, 1941 - July 23, 2018 CARNIATO, Danilo It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Danilo Carniato, a loving husband, father, and grandfather. Born in San Giuseppe, Treviso, Italy, on May 5, 1934, he passed on July 24, 2018 at the age of 84 after suffering an unsuccessful surgery in February 2017 to remove a tumor that left him hospitalized due to a spinal infection he contracted during surgery. He was predeceased by two of his children. Danilo is survived by his devoted loving wife Roseta; his daughter and many nieces, nephews and friends. Danilo came to Canada in 1954 with his technical skills and knowledge of machinery and industrial installations. This helped him to quickly become chief mechanic and later supervisor for the installation and maintenance of various lumber industries, in particular, saw mills and pulp mills. In 2001, Danilo was awarded the Gold Veteran’s Badge as an honor conferred by the Grand Lodge of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, due to the loyalty and service to fellow workers for a period of thirty years, having during this period of time, exemplified true value to fellow workers, thus achieving lasting respect and esteem of all workers in the association.

Danilo believed that with good preparation, good will and sacrifice, it is possible to achieve almost everything in life.

He will be remembered for his kindness, generosity and caring.

Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10am on Thursday, August 2, 2018 at Our Lady of Sorrows, 525 Slocan Street, Vancouver. Entombment to take place in Italy.

Condolences may be offered to the family at www.bellburnaby.com

With enormous sadness and heavy hearts we announce the passing of Carol Skelton surrounded by her family after a short and very courageous battle with cancer at the Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster, BC on July 23, 2018.

Carol was born May 21, 1941 in Winnipeg, MB and moved to Vancouver in 1946 where she grew up in a house with her mother and sister Jeanette on West Seventh Avenue. Carol attended Cecil Rhodes Elementary and graduated from King Edward High School in 1959. She met her husband, Jim Skelton, while working at BC Tel. Married in 1962, Jim and Carol lived in New Westminster, Burnaby and Vancouver before settling in Coquitlam in 1970 to raise their family.

Besides her family, nothing was more important to Carol than her dogs. For many years Carol groomed and proudly showed her poodles. In her final year her whippet Mr. Man was her loyal companion.

Over the years Carol enjoyed running, cross stitching, yoga, lunch dates with her grandchildren, showing off her dogs at the local park, volunteering at the Lakeshore Care Centre, and travelling with her sister.

Carol is predeceased by her mother Dorothy Venables in 2009, her father Murray Einarson in 1977, step-father Richard Venables in 2007 and step-grandson Patrick Lodders in 2015.

She is survived by her husband Jim; three children Michael (Evelyn), Dana (John) and Michele (Dan); sister Jeanette (Bob); half-sister Patty (Matt); halfbrother Murray (Renee); grandchildren Jordan, Emily, Vanna, Alexander, and Eric; step-grandchildren Jac, Christian (Colleen), and Jes (Gavin); as well as numerous other family members.

Donations may be made in memory of Carol to the Terry Fox Foundation. Celebration of Life is scheduled for Wednesday, August 15, 2018 at 2:00 pm at the Royal City Curling Club, 75 East Sixth Avenue, New Westminster.
